A Sidney City Schools bus was involved in an in-cident Thursday morning that resulted in thetransportation of two students to the hospital.Around 7:25 Thursday, a car reportedly turned

in front of the bus at the intersection of Fourth Av-enue and Campbell Road, according to Transporta-tion Supervisor Mark Barhorst.“The bus driver hit the brakes and swerved right

to avoid the turning car,” said Barhorst. “Due tohard breaking, the six passengers on the bus movedforward and hit the backs of the seats in front ofthem.”One student complained of rib pain and another

complained of a sore neck. Sidney Fire and Emer-gency Services arrived on the scene and trans-ported the two students to Wilson MemorialHospital as a precaution. The rest of the studentswere transported to the school after the investiga-tion was complete.

As part of the theft-by-deception element of theinvestigation, the agencies are also reviewing aYouTube posting video in which Barga allegedly so-licits funds from viewers to help support him andhis family through tough economic times created bythe recent death of his wife.

Because his wife is alive, the county sheriff ’s of-fice is working with Internet providers to determineif any money had been sent Barga.

Investigation into the fraudulent activities andthe alleged operation of an illegal taxi cab businessis ongoing and will be reviewed by the ShelbyCounty Prosecutor’s office for possible additionalcharges against Barga and his wife.

Barga’s wife, Christina Barga, 41, received atraffic citation for one count of wrongful entrust-ment, a first-degree misdemeanor.

GAHANNA (AP) — Moses Allen said he doesn’tcare much about pain.So the 36-year-old tattoo artist didn’t fear the

kidney/pancreas transplant in 2007 that rescuedhim from dialysis and gave him back his strength.His father, however, is wired a little differently.“I said, ‘Man, I don’t want anyone opening me up

like that,’” said 55-year-old Artis Allen, who, like hisson, ended up on dialysis for damage caused bypoorly controlled Type 1 diabetes.It was Artis Allen’s memory of how the trans-

plant transformed his oldest son — and a little con-vincing from his son — that got him to Ohio StateUniversity Medical Center last month for his kid-ney/pancreas transplant.Dr. Mitchell Henry, chief of transplantation

there, said he had never heard of a father and sonwho both had a kidney/pancreas transplant. No na-tional data are kept on that, so it’s impossible toknow whether the Allens are the only such pair inhistory.Surgeons transplant both organs from a donor

who has died because it offers the best chance atcuring diabetes. Ohio State performs about 20 kid-ney/pancreas transplants a year. There were 2,124people awaiting the combined transplant in theUnited States as of Oct. 14. Patients typically waita year or two for organs that are a good match.The younger Allen’s influence on his father was

important, Henry said. Almost seven in 10 peoplewith diabetes who are on dialysis will die in thefirst five years, he said. Moses Allen was on dialy-sis for 21/2 years; Artis Allen, for more than a year.The son still gets quiet when he recalls the rosesthat would sit in the chairs at his dialysis centerwhen one of the other patients had died.“I said, ‘Man, I’ll go ahead and try it,’ and I’m

glad I did,’” Artis Allen said last week from hishome in Mifflin Township in central Ohio. Near thecouch where he sat were boxes full of the home dial-ysis equipment he no longer needs.“I feel a whole lot better.”

COLUMBUS (AP) —Ohio Republicans failedin an effort Thursday tobring a second congres-sional map up for a voteas they sought to defuseDemocratic opposition tothe state’s newlyadopted map, withshouting erupting on theOhio House floor overwho fairly should repre-sent the battlegroundstate in Washington.Earlier in the day,

GOP House SpeakerWilliam Batchelder re-leased a revised plan forthe state’s U.S. Housedistricts, saying it wasfairer to Democrats andhe hoped it will garnersupport from Demo-cratic legislators.Batchelder said his

goal was to give Democ-rats a chance to supporta congressional mapwith cleaner lines, morecompact districts andbetter representation forblacks. His proposal alsoreinstated a single 2012primary, something thatwould benefit both par-ties and save about $15million.Both maps create 16

districts, 12 favoring Re-publicans and 4 favoringDemocrats. The state islosing two congressionalseats due to slow popu-lation growth.Democrats took

Batchelder’s maneuveras an affront, sayingthey’d presented himwith a map Wednesdaynight and he rejected it.House DemocraticLeader Armond Budishsaid the proposal was forsix Republican districts,

four Democratic dis-tricts, and six Republi-can-leaning districtsthat were split alongparty lines enough to becompetitive.“By creating all safe

districts, you take thevote away from the peo-ple,” he said.State Rep. Robert

Hagan predicted thatenough Democratswould stick together tooppose a vote on the re-vised map, failing to giveRepublicans the 66votes needed to waiveHouse rules and bringtheir plan up for an im-mediate vote. The voteon suspending the ruleswas 58-34.Hagan called the spe-

cial session “a uselessexercise.”

COLUMBUS (AP) —The retired judge oversee-ing the first review ofOhio’s 30-year-old deathpenalty law said Thurs-day he is concernedwhether the state’s law isbeing properly applied.James Brogan, a for-

mer state appeals courtjudge, also said he’s wor-ried about the discretionthat state prosecutorshave in deciding whetherto pursue a death sen-tence at all.“Why is it that in one

county the prosecutorseeks it onmanymore oc-casions than anotherprosecutor,” Brogan said.“Is it because urban crimeis somuchmore serious ina larger city than in arural community?”Chief Justice Maureen

O’Connor, who convenedthe committee reviewingthe law, emphasized inopening comments thepanel is not to decidewhetherOhio should havecapital punishment.O’Connor,aRepublican

and former prosecutor,told committee membersthe goal is to produce afair, impartial and bal-anced analysis of thestate’s law. She gave thecommittee just over a yearto complete its work.Prosecutors, defense

attorneys, lawmakers,judges and academic ex-perts are among those be-ginning debate on possiblechanges toOhio’s 30-year-old death penalty law.

WASHINGTON (AP) —U.S. intelligence officials ac-cused China and Russia onThursday of systematicallystealingAmericanhigh-techdata for their own nationaleconomic gain.It was the most forceful

and detailed public airing ofU.S. allegations after yearsof private complaints. U.S.officials and cybersecurityexperts said the U.S. mustopenly confront China andRussia in a broad diplo-matic push to combat cyber-attacks that are on the riseand represent a “persistentthreat to U.S. economic se-curity.”But experts said solving

the problem won’t be easy.In a report released

Thursday, U.S. intelligenceagencies said “the govern-ments of China and Russiawill remain aggressive andcapable collectors of sensi-tive U.S. economic informa-tion and technologies,particularly in cyberspace.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) —Projecting images ofMichael Jackson’s grief-stricken children on a giantscreen, a prosecutor told ju-rors Thursday the singer’sdoctor took away their fa-ther with an overdose of apowerful anesthetic.With Jackson’s mother

and siblings watching fromthe courtroom gallery, pros-ecutor DavidWalgren sum-moned memories of thedead star during his closingargument in the involun-tary manslaughter trial ofDr. Conrad Murray.He showed a photo of

Jackson at his last re-hearsal before the picture ofthe three Jackson children—Prince,Paris andBlanket— at their father’s memo-rial.

WASHINGTON (AP) —Companies are more pro-ductive, fewer people areseeking unemploymentbenefits and service compa-nies are adding jobs.Ideally, those trends

could signal strongergrowth, followed by morehiring. Yet until consumersconsistently spend more,businesses are unlikely tohire enough to drive downunemployment.But more consumers

need jobs and raises to keepspending enough to help theeconomy grow.The paradoxhas kept the economy fromthriving more than twoyears after the recession of-ficially ended.It’s also why economists

think the unemploymentrate stayed at 9.1 percentfor a fourth straight monthin October.The governmentwill issue the October jobsreport Friday.

Greek PM abandonsreferendum on debt planBY NICHOLAS PAPHITIS

Associated Press

ATHENS, Greece (AP) —Greece’s prime minister aban-doned his explosive plan to puta European rescue deal to pop-ular voteThursday, keeping hisgovernment alive — but pas-sionate squabbling in Athensleft the country’s solvency indoubt and the eurozone in tur-moil.Prime Minister George Pa-

pandreou reversed course aftera rebellion within his own So-cialist party over the referen-dum, but ignored repeated callsto resign and call elections.Chaos persisted in the coun-

try that coined the term: Pa-pandreou faces a critical vote ofconfidence in his governmentFriday as the Socialist rebellionstill simmers.And themain op-position conservatives were notplacated, insisting on his resig-nation.Meanwhile, Greece’s cost of

borrowing ballooned, with theinterest demanded by marketsto buy Greek 10-year bonds ex-ceeding 31 percent— comparedto 2 percent for European pow-erhouse Germany.Papandreou sparked a global

crisis Monday when he an-nounced hewould put the latestEuropean deal to cut Greece’smassive debts — a hard-foughtaccord that took months of ne-gotiations — to a referendum.

The idea horrified other EUna-tions, Greece’s creditors and fi-nancial markets as investorsfretted over the prospect ofGreece being forced into a dis-orderly default.Papandreou was summoned

to an emergency Europeanmeeting in Cannes, France, onWednesday night, where thevisibly irate French and Ger-man leaders said any referen-

dumwould in fact be a questionof whether Greece retains itscherished membership of the17-nation euro common cur-rency.They also put on hold thenext, vital payout ofGreece’s ex-isting bailout until after a votewas held.A Greek Finance Ministry

official told the AP that Greecehas cash until mid-December.After that, without the 8 billion

($11 billion) disbursement,Greecewouldmost likely be un-able to service its debt or paypensions and salaries.Finance Minister Evangelos

Venizelos accompanied Papan-dreou to the Riviera but led arevolt against the referendumidea on his return toAthens be-fore dawnThursday.With Greece’s euro member-

ship and bailout loan lifelinesuddenly in danger, pressuremounted for Papandreou to re-sign. The conservative opposi-tion and even his own deputiescalled for the creation of a tran-sition government to pass thenew European debt deal.Venizelos said, as the opposi-

tion now indicated it would sup-port the European debt deal, areferendum was no longer nec-essary.“The government went to

Canneswith the position that ifthe necessary consensus isformed there will be no need tohold a referendum,” he said.“We must highlight the factthat there is a window of a con-sensus.”He said the new debt deal

would be brought to parliamentunder a procedure that wouldrequire a reinforced majority of180 out of the 300 lawmakers tovote in favor. With the govern-ing Socialists holding 152 seats,that means the debt deal willonly pass if the opposition alsovotes in favor.

BY KASIE HUNTAssociated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicanpresidential hopeful Herman Cain strug-gled to overcome the storm of controversyfrom sexual harassment accusations onThursday as the threat of a damagingwrit-ten statement by one of his accusers andshifting explanations by a top aide left hisefforts and even his candidacy in doubt.“This will not deter me” in the race for

theWhiteHouse,Cain declared, repeatedlydenying the accusations in interviews onconservative media outlets.“Did you tell awoman she looked good?”

radio host Sean Hannity asked. “Thatdress looks hot?”“Nope.”“Any flirtation that you can think of?”“Nope,” Cain said firmly.At the same time, he and aides tried to

demonstrate a campaign returning to nor-

malcy or even benefiting from the contro-versy.Cain held privatemeetings inNewYork

during the day, including one on foreignpolicy with former Secretary of StateHenry Kissinger.And campaign spokesman J.D. Gordon

said donors had sent in $1.2 million sincenews of the allegations first surfaced, farabove the customary amount for severaldays.Since it was reported late Sunday that

at least two women had complainedabout Cain when they worked at the Na-tional Restaurant Association — andhad received financial settlements —Cain has said consistently he never sex-ually harassed anyone. But his answersto other pertinent questions havechanged. In one instance, he first deniedknowing of any settlements with formeremployees, then said he recalled one, ex-plaining he had been aware of an “agree-

ment” but not a “settlement.”OnWednesday, Cain said he believed a

political consultant for rival Rick Perry hadleaked the information. The consultant,Curt Anderson, denied it.In a television interview on Thursday

with Fox News Channel, Mark Block,Cain’s chief of staff, first stood by the accu-sation, then reversed course. “Until we getall the facts, I’m just going to saywe acceptwhat Mr.Anderson said.”It was unclear when all the facts might

emerge.Joel Bennett, an attorney for one of the

women alleging sexual harassment, saidhe was seeking permission from the Na-tional Restaurant Association to release astatement on her behalf. Under an agree-ment stemming from her accusation in1999, the woman agreed not to speak pub-licly about the episode she said occurredwhen she worked for the trade group andCain was its president.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) —Occupy Wall Street support-ers who staged rallies thatshut down the nation’s fifth-busiest port during a day ofprotests condemned on Thurs-day the demonstrators whoclashed with police in the lat-est flare-up of violence inOakland, Calif.Riot police arrested more

than 80 protesters in the city’sdowntown, where bands ofdemonstrators threw chunksof concrete and metal pipes aswell as lit roman candles andfirebombs, police said. Fiveprotesters and several officerswere injured.“I think it will allow de-

tractors to criticize the move-ment,” said protester HaleNicholson. He has been stay-ing at the Occupy Oakland en-campment and said he andmost people there were paci-fists.The protest outside the

Port of Oakland, which re-opened Thursday, representedan escalation in tactics as amovement that had largelybeen about marches, ralliesand tent camps targeted amajor symbol of the nation’scommerce.The violence that followed,

however, raised questionsabout the direction of themovement and whether the

clashes, so far mostly isolatedin a city with a history of ten-sions between residents andpolice, will galvanize protest-ers or hurt their cause.Nicholson blamed the vio-

lence on a small group ofyoung people just there for vi-olence — “Some kids looking

to blow off some steam.”In Los Angeles, a

spokesman for the encamp-ment there, said those demon-strators don’t represent themovement.“We are about peace. That’s

the most powerful tool wehave,” said Mario Jefferson of

the Occupy LA encampment,noting that the movement at-tracts many types of people,including some prone to vio-lence.“We don’t want to waste en-

ergy on breaking things.We’retrying to do this thing peace-fully,” he said.

Greece’s embattledprime minister says he has invited opposition conservativesto join talks on a major European debt deal, ignoring calls tohold an early general election.

eating habits:— Get a cookbook of

low-fat recipes, or redosome of the familydishes using healthieringredients.

— Suggest that every-one switch from whole to1 percent or skim milk.

— Make meal sched-ules for yourself and tryto eat only during thosetimes, at the table.

— Try to get the fam-

Hiswife Nancy hadinvited all of ussiblings to surprise himand come for dinner.Amos was definitely verysurprised, he had not ex-pected anything. It is al-ways easy for me toremember how old Amosis because he is 10 yearsolder than I am. He isthe second oldest of useight siblings.It was a chilly day

outside but it was asunny making it warmenough so that the mencould play croquet out-side. The children en-joyed riding their threeponies and taking a ponybuggy ride. They alsoplayed kickball.Meanwhile, for the

birthday feast we wereserved a delicious mealof barbecued chicken,hot wings, mashed pota-toes, gravy, dressing,corn, lettuce salad, slicedcheese, banana peppers,kohlrabi, celery, carrotsticks, green peppers,and vegetable dip, home-made bread, butter andjelly, ice cream, peanutbutter dessert, four dif-ferent kinds of cake, andseveral pies. I broughtthe homemade breadand a chocolate cake.There were a lot of cakesthat were brought in sothere was plenty of cakeleft.Before we started

back for home Nancyheated up some of theleftovers. Some of thefamily ate some chickenbefore heading for home.We started back around5:30 p.m. arriving homearound 7:30 p.m. Thechildren were ready forbed early as they had along day.We had startedout at 6 a.m.We stoppedand ate breakfast on theway which is always atreat for everyone. Ithink I enjoy it the mostsince I don’t have to cookbreakfast. We arrived atAmos and Nancy’s housearound 9:15 a.m. Pauland Leah couldn’t attendas they were in Wiscon-sin visiting their grownson Ben and family.Paul’s son Levi stayedhome from Wisconsinand is taking care of thechores for them so hewas able to attendAmos’s birthday party.Brother Albert’s fam-

ily also didn’t get to at-

tend as it wastheir son’s turnto hold churchservices.Amos and

Nancy had anice harvest ofendive this fall. Ihaven’t hadmuch luck ingrowing it butmother alwayshad nice heads

of endive.We would sub-stitute it for lettuce inthe fall.Saturday we had a

short visit from UncleJoe and Betty and cousinBrian and his family. Myhusband Joe and thethree boys were nothome when they werehere, they were over atTimothy’s helping tobuild box stalls in hisbarn. Just before Joe andBetty arrived we hadsome thunder and light-ning and it even hailedfor awhile. Later in theday, when Joe and theboys were coming homein the pony cart theysaid it was sleeting. Ithad really cooled downby then. Our thermome-ter showed 28 degrees soit felt good to have heatin the house. Joe andBetty also stopped in atAmos’s on Sunday after-noon to wish him ahappy 50th.I will share the recipe

ELECTION NEWS Sidney Daily News,Friday,November 4,2011 Page 8

Three candidates vie for two seatsDEGRAFF—Voters in

the Riverside School Dis-trict will decide amongthree candidates runningfor two seats on theBoardof Educationwhen they goto the polls Nov. 8.Also, voters in Quincy

will decide on a replace-ment tax levy for the vil-lage’s current expensesand voters inDeGraff willconsider an issue to allowsale of alcoholic beveragesat a restaurant. There isno competition for councilseats in both villages,withtwo candidates running tofill two seats in each town.Running for Riverside

Board of Education areRobert J. Bender, of ruralBellefontaine; Brian P.Knight, of DeGraff; andAngie Shoe, of DeGraff.None of the candidatesare incumbents.The Riverside candi-

dates responded recentlyto the following questionsfrom the Sidney DailyNews:1. Why are you run-

ning for a seat on theRiverside Board of Ed-ucation?Bender: “I am running

for the Riverside Board ofEducation because 1.) Iwant Riverside to attainand retain an ExcellentSchool rating in a com-pletely safe environment.2.) I want to change theoverall perception of thedistrict. I circulated mypetition believing we hada bad district. The more Ilooked into our test scores,financial figures and metwith staff, I have come torealize we have a verystrong foundation for thefuture. We have a goodschool district. I want thedistrict to be the reasonthat families and businessmove to the DeGraff andQuincy area thus, increas-ing property values and

bringing jobs closer tohome. 3.) I want to ensurethis district never squan-ders taxpayer moneyagain. At the end of the2006 fiscal year, this dis-trict had over $2.5millionin carry-over. In 2009, thedistrict had to ask thecommunity for an addi-tional 1.25 percent incometax (in addition to the al-ready 0.75 percent inplace) AND borrow$200,000 to make endsmeet. It is my promise todo everything possible toreturn the 0.75 percent in-come tax back to the com-munity and operate onlyon the 1.25 percent.”Knight: “I believe it is

important for everyonewho is able to serve theircommunity in one way oranother. In the past, Ihave served on the De-Graff Village Council, onthe Riverside EMS as avolunteer EMT, and Ihave been active in mychurch. Last year I volun-teered inmy son’s kinder-garten class at Riverside.When the opportunity torun for the school boardbecame available, I de-cided that it would be aconstructive and usefulway to serve the schooland community. I grew upin the community andgraduated fromRiverside.I have a vested interest inthe Riverside School sys-tem because this is wheremy children will be edu-cated. I believe that a

strong school system con-tributes to the health andwell being of the commu-nity.”Shoe: “As a graduate of

Riverside with two youngchildren, the future of theschool and its success isimportant to me.My planis to prepare the districtfor the pending fundingcutbacks and developmeasures to improve edu-cation for our students.”2. What are your

qualifications forbeing a school boardmember?Shoe: “My education

and experience in ac-counting and auditing fora financial institutionwillbenefit the district. I willbring this expertise tobear to ensure our districtis accountable and for-ward-thinking.”Knight: “Effective

communication is impor-tant to any organization. Iam a good listener. I donot jump to conclusions. Ifavor a common-sense ap-proach for making fairand logical decisions. I donot have amicro-manage-ment mentality. I knowand I understand that therole of the school board isto establish budgets andset policy. I know that oneboard member has nopower to act alone, butmust act as part of thetotal board.”Bender: “I amanexpe-

rienced grant writer. I un-derstand state and federal

funding. My current em-ployment requires interac-tionwith all socioeconomicfamilies/groups andmanyunits of government. I be-lieve in this community,this school district and Ibelieve we should expectexcellence in everythingwe do. I am inherentlypositive and willing totake on challenges. Thisdistrict has some verydaunting andunique chal-lenges right around thecorner that will requirethese attributes.”3. What are the

major issues facing theschool district?Knight: “Like most

other school districts, fi-nances are a major chal-lenge for Riverside.However, we must re-member that financial re-sources are a tool and notan end in themselves. It isthe board’s and adminis-tration’s responsibility tomaximize the educationalbenefit with the financialresources available. Aca-demic success is anotherchallenge that Riversidehas addressed and hasmade significant stridesin. It is important for theschool to continue to buildon this past success toprovide aworld-class edu-cation for our students.”Bender: “There are

three major issues. Thefirst issue is the publicperception of the school.The overall perception ofthe school is poor butRiverside has a lot ofthings going in the rightdirection. Parents eitherare or are consideringsending children to otherschool districts in hopes ofa better education. Evenworse, families are lesslikely tomove to this com-munity when consideringrelocation.This affects ourproperty values, school

funding and business op-portunity in the commu-nity. The second issue isthe upcoming change inadministration. Superin-tendent Jim Zerkle is tobe commended for hiswork with righting theship. Unfortunately, he isready to retire andwill nolonger be with the schoolafter this year. It is imper-ative the board wiselychoose administrative re-placements, keep a veryclose eye on the adminis-tration and hold highstandards of accountabil-ity in the coming years be-cause we cannot affordany fiscal failure or back-ward trending of the testscores. The third majorissue is the financial situ-ation. The school is on theright path. For the firsttime since 2001, theschool has completed a fis-cal year spending lessthen it brought in. Thismust continue. The boardmust be prepared tomakenecessary adjustments ifthe spending cuts thathave been looming indeedhappen.”Shoe: “Two primary is-

sues are of concern for thedistrict: the significant de-crease in state and federalfunding that is expectedin the next two years andcontinuing to improvestudent test scores andquality of education.”Shoe, 27, is a graduate

of Riverside and EdisonCommunity College withan associate of appliedbusiness degree in ac-counting. She lives in De-Graff with her husband,Dustin, and two daugh-ters, Kylie and Addison.She is a deputy clerk atthe Bellefontaine Munici-pal Court.Her husband isthe business owner ofDASH Builders LLC.“My family instilled

core values that I continueto carrywithme today: in-tegrity, tough-mindednessand dedication,” she said.Bender, 35, is married

and the father of four chil-dren. He is a nonprofithousing developer. Hiscommunity activities in-cludeRiverside PTOpres-ident, DeGraff CountryFair Board, youth soccercoach, Bellefontaine Ki-wanis, Ohio Fishers ofMen and Christ Our KingChurch.Knight, 41, is a project

engineer forHondaTrans-mission Manufacturing.He has been married 17years and has three chil-dren: Samuel,7;Gillian,4;and Valerie, 2. In his freetime he said he enjoysspending time with hisfamily, playing with hischildren, reading, homeimprovement projects andfamily game nights.Also on the ballot will

be a 2-mill tax levy for fiveyears for Quincy.The levyis a replacement to covercurrent expenses of thevillage. Running unop-posed for Quincy VillageCouncil are incumbentsKaren Sue Arnett andJohn Hickman.In DeGraff, voters will

decide on a request toallow Gangsters Ris-torante to sell spirituousliquor, wine and mixedbeverages for on-premisesconsumption and beer,wine and mixed bever-ages for on-premise andoff-premise consumptionin containers.

dents to feel free to stopin his Sidney business todiscuss any matters orconcerns. In his letter tovoters, Eilerman states,“The leadership I haveshown and my ability tolisten to you the citizen,allows me to make deci-sions based on whatworks best for you andthe township.”Eilerman notes that

he has a commercial dri-ver’s license so that hecan operate the townshiptruck and maintainroads. He points out thatduring his time as atrustee, the township hasimproved its road repairprogram by working withother townships and thecounty.Eilerman adds that

the Shelby Memory Gar-dens, now a townshipcemetery, has been re-stored by proper care.Also seeking the post

is Eric Ditmer, 9383Greenville Road, a grainfarmer. Ditmer hasserved on the Hardin-Houston Board of Educa-tion for 12 years, but ashis son is now a senior,decided to try to serve thepublic in another way.Heis familiar with the du-ties of a trustee, as his fa-

ther and grandfatherheld such a post in yearspast in WashingtonTownship.Ditmer has a commer-

cial driver’s license, so hewill be prepared to drivelarge township trucks forroad maintenance andother duties.He has oper-ated heavy equipment formost of his life, and hasdeveloped an interest indoing so.Ditmer states that he

expects the township toface tight funding andthat the trustees willhave to work around thatreality. He explains thatthrough his experience infarming, he has learnedto both plan for the longterm, yet make decisionsquickly as circumstanceschange.Ditmer notes that

roads are a major factorin township responsibil-ity. He looks forward tokeeping roads safe inwinter weather, andmaintaining general roadconditions in the otherseasons.He states that his

major priority is meetingthe needs of the residentsand staying in contactwith them. He feels thatin such a position, onemust enjoy interactingwith the people. He citeshis experience in servingon the Board of Appealsas an example of workingdirectly with the popu-lace to consider theirneeds and pledges to beaccessible.

Ditmer and wifeTeresa have a daughter,Bailey, and son, Austin.Also running is Greg

Holthaus, 11230 Luth-man Road, Anna, whoworks in sales for KoenigEquipment. He is gettingmarried during the com-ing summer.Holthaus decided to

run for trustee in order toaddress what he sees assome issues requiring ex-amination. He cites as anexample the matter ofhiring others to plowsnow. He feels that thetrustees should performsuch duties, and ifelected, he would intendpromote such a practicemore fully.

Holthaus expects thetownship to face budgetchallenges in the comingyears. He sees the neces-sity to make the best useof funds and to do asmuch work as possiblewithin township officials.He favors examination ofduties to determine whenit is most economical tohire work done if it is be-yond the scope of town-ship staff. Holthaus seeslabor costs as competingwith materials, and ingeneral, wishes to closelyexamine where fundingpriorities may bechanged.Asked about his famil-

iarity with heavy equip-ment due to his job, hestates that he has knowl-edge of the heavy equip-ment market and pricingoptions.Holthaus received his

commercial driver’s li-cense specifically to pre-pare for his candidacy.Headds, “I’m willing to putin whatever it takes to dothe job.”

The fourth candidateis Jonathan Siegrist,10509 Patterson-HalpinRoad, who is seeking afirst term. He works asan auto mechanic in FortLoramie. He and wifeJoni are expecting theirfirst child.Siegrist decided to run

as he felt that some oper-ations for the townshipcould be improved upon.He hopes to find ways toimprove snow plowingand to better utilize avail-able funds for road re-pairs.Siegrist feels that his

schedule would allow himto devote sufficient timeto township duties.Siegrist already has acommercial license thatwill permit him to drive asnowplow.Public service is not

new to Siegrist, who hasserved as a volunteer fire-fighter with the Fort Lo-ramie Fire Departmentsince 1999.Karen Pleiman, 8347

ning unopposed for Tur-tle Creek Township fiscalofficer. Pleiman was orig-inally named to the posi-tion in 1995 to fill anunexpired term, waselected in 1996, and hasbeen successfully re-elected ever since. Sheand husband Gary havethree grown children.Pleiman expects fund-

ing to be an ongoing chal-lenge in the next term. Inparticular, she cites thecost of paving 26 miles oftownship roads. She ex-plains that the typicalcost of repaving a road isaround $75,000. Roadswith a lot of heavy trucktraffic will require moreattention.Pleiman adds that op-

erating Shelby MemoryGardens puts additionalstrain on the budget.Turtle Creek Trustees

No contested elections for Jackson CenterBY TERRYPELLMAN

JACKSON CENTER— There are no con-tested elections for Jack-son Center mayor orvillage council in Tues-day’s elecdtion. VeteranMayor Scott Klopfen-stein of 301 Oak St. willbe elected to anotherterm, having served 28years in the position.Klopfenstein served oncouncil for six yearsprior to being chosen toserve as mayor.Klopfenstein origi-

nally sought a councilseat soon after moving tothe village so that hecould help address somevillage issues. It is hisdesire to continue towork on behalf of the vil-lage “because there’s al-ways something going onthat you’re interestedin.” Klopfenstein worksat Lacal Equipment inJackson Center.The mayor and coun-

cil members are now inthe initial stages of seek-ing a new village admin-istrator. Advertisementshave been placed andthe village expects tonarrow the list of appli-cants down to two orthree finalists.The village is also fac-

ing the long-term effectsof seeing two employersmove from the commu-nity, and there is a cou-ple of empty business

structure in the commu-nity. Still, Klopfensteinpoints out thatAirstream has been hir-ing and the communitystill has a strong indus-trial base. Income taxrevenue has actuallybeen higher this year.The mayor adds that

the village has the es-sential retail stores forconsumers and that onegoal is to increase retailstrength.Klopfenstein and wife

Kathy have three adultchildren: Isaac,Adrianneand Aaron.Kenneth Gloyeske

will serve another termon village council.Gloyeske is a veterinar-ian who works at theTri-County VeterinaryService. He has served inthat capacity for 14years. He states, “I al-ways thought that Jack-son Center was awell-run village, and Ihad an opportunity tostep in for someone whohad moved out of town.”He has found the experi-ence to be “thoroughly

enjoyable.”He has found that

serving the communityhas been a positive expe-rience because the vil-lage has had goodadministrators and “atremendous group of em-ployees, so the villagekind of runs itself.”Gloyeske sees the vil-

lage as being fortunatein having its own electricservice through a coali-tion of more than 100communities. He ex-plains that this arrange-ment keeps the rates lowand results in free streetlighting. He also sees anadvantage for JacksonCenter residents in thatthe village takes care ofcurb, gutter and side-walk work without anyspecial assessments.Gloyeske adds that thewater and sewer ratesare advantageously low.He is pleased with the

industrial base in thecommunity, and cites asexamples Airstream,Lacal and Plastipak.The village has been

impacted by seeing Hol-

loway andGKN leave.These werethe secondand thirdlargest em-ployer con-tributors tothe incometax base.That taxbase reduc-

tion will be an ongoingchallenge, so Gloyeskehopes to attract industryHe also knows that

the village is going to befacing the retirement ofa number of long-termstaff over the comingyears, resulting in “Atremendous wealth ofknowledge” being lost.Gloyeske and wife

Barbara are the parentsof daughter Kelly andsons Brian and Marc.Karen Woodruff will

also serve another term.She is retired from Jack-son Center Hardware,and also worked at abeauty shop and as achild care provider.Woodruff is just fin-

ishing her third year oncouncil, after being ap-pointed to an unfinishedterm.The long-time village

resident says of servingon council, “I find it veryinteresting.” She findsthat it provides an op-portunity to learn aboutthings about which youmay have had concerns.Serving on council hashelped her to gain a newperspective on what wasrequired to operate thevillage. She wants tomake the village as goodas possible to live in.Woodruff states, “We’d

love to get more busi-nesses in town,” a factorcritical to the tax base.Woodruff hopes to seebusinesses come to thevillage to occupy vacantspaces left behind whenothers have ceased localoperations.She characterizes the

village as a town inwhich people take care ofthe community and eachother. She and othersvolunteer to decorate thetown and keep the vil-lage looking attractive.Woodruff and hus-

peared to be certain,Davis was encouragedby some friends to seekthe position. She decidedthat her background andinterests would be agood fit for such a posi-tion, so she filed to run.She will be running un-opposed.Davis states that she

has no specific agendagoing in. She sees serviceon the board as a chanceto help make the schooldistrict as good as it canbe and build upon its re-cent successes.She observes that the

And we know thatthe state of the financesof the state of Ohio forschool funding is chal-lenging still.”He adds that it is pos-

sible that during the up-coming term the districtwill be looking at abuilding project. The re-sult would see the oldestsections of the buildingreplaced. Newer sectionswould continue in use,some of which were builtjust 10 years ago.Wren is pleased that

the school administra-tive staff has been stabi-lized, after a span duringwhich several adminis-trators spent short timesin the district leader-ship. Wren says that thedistrict now has a strongleadership team in placethat is making improve-ment and providing con-tinuity.Wren believes that

the district is doing wellfinancially but knowsthat finances will be achallenge, and the dis-trict kept in suspense bythe state budget and thestate of the economy.

Vets Night Out plannedBY TERRYPELLMAN

JACKSON CENTER— The Jackson Centercommunity is going tohost a special event forveterans and familymembers of veteransNov. 10 at 7 p.m.TheVet-erans Night Out will beheld at the Jackson Cen-ter Family Life Center atthe corner of Ohio 65 andDavis Street. For thosenot familiar with the lo-cation, the building is setback from the street andis located in a formerlumber sales building.Veteran Ron

Leininger is one of theevent organizers. He ex-plains that the purposeof the special night is sothat he and others canreach out to “veterans,spouses of veterans, chil-dren and people whomight know people whohave been in the mili-tary,” to inform themabout benefits andthings that are availableto them.Thatmay involvemed-

ical services or suchthings as special benefitsfor those who served inspecific military actions.Leininger states that toooften, veterans and theirfamilies are unaware ofwhat assistance mayexist. He explains, “Wejust want to sit downwith all of these peopleand let them knowwherethey can go to get help.”The program that

evening is meant for any-one in the area. The 2ndDistrict of the AmericanLegion has posted theevent on its website, no-tifying veterans from

surrounding counties.Leininger emphasizesthat he and the othersinvolved are doing whatthey can with resourcesavailable to extend theinvitation far and wide.That includes distribut-ing information throughchurches and the Veter-ans Administration sys-tem.This program is for all

veterans, but one topicthat Leininger is concen-trating on is the matterof the substance knownas Agent Orange. Hegives this as an exampleof a topic that veteransand their families do nothave enough informa-tion about. This is achemical used duringthe VietnamWar to defo-liate areas of dense vege-tation so that the enemycould not so easily movetroops supplies, andequipment throughthose heavily forestedregions. Over the pastdecades, many veteranshave come to believethat exposure to AgentOrange had lethal, long-term effects such as cer-tain forms of cancer.Leininger estimates

that around 95 percentof Vietnam veterans hespeaks with have neverbeen checked to see ifthey are carrying the ef-fects of Agent Orange.Leininger emphasizes

the need for Vietnamveterans or their familymembers to check withveterans affairs officials.It can be determined if aveteran was in an area ofVietnam where thechemical was used.Speaker Ed Ball from

the county veteran’s of-

fice will provide informa-tion on critical issuessuch as post traumaticwar distress, brain-re-lated injuries and mor-phine addiction becauseof being wounded andplaced under morphineto relieve pain.Any ques-tions regarding veteran’sservices will be welcome.One other Jackson

Center-based veteransproject of note involvesthe donations of cleancoats for men andwomen who are veter-ans. Coats can bedropped off atLeininger’s home at 210Cole St. in Jackson Cen-ter, or at a collection bar-rel at the Jackson CenterPost Office.The coats arethen taken to the DaytonOffice of the VeteransAdministration for dis-tribution around West-ern Ohio and Indiana.Leininger states that adisturbing percentage ofthe homeless males inAmerica is veterans andin need of such help. Thecoat collection will con-tinue into the spring.Leininger wants to

help veterans in honor ofthose who were woundedand died in service totheir country. He feelsthat the local area hasdone well in serving vet-erans, but wants to in-sure that all eligibleveterans are made awareof the services and bene-fits available.At the same time,

Leininger wants the ef-forts to bring glory toGod, and perhaps bringback some who havefallen away from faithdue to experiencing hardtimes.

MONTRA —Emanuel EvangelicalLutheran Church lo-cated in Montra will ob-serve its 150thanniversary Sunday at apublic celebration.A first-person pro-

gram on Martin Lutherwill be held at thechurch at 10 a.m. This is

Many persons havesuggested that the newhigh school should beerected on the presentsite of the Central build-ing. Such persons havenever stopped to con-sider the fact that theCentral building couldnot be dispensed with asa grade school. It is verymuch needed for thatpurpose and if it sup-planted the high schoolthere is no other build-ing to which these chil-dren, 400 of them, couldbe sent. The old Centralbuilding is the bestschool house in the citytoday and if it can bemade safe by a newheating plant it shouldbe done. This buildingwas once the pride of thecity and the state.

Crohn’s disease explained

It’s time for single mom to pull on big-girl pants

DEAR DR.D O N O H U E :What causesCrohn’s disease?What is the treat-ment?My son has it.

— F.H.A N S W E R :

Crohn’s disease isone of the two in-f l a m m a t o r ybowel diseases.The other is ul-cerative colitis.Both have somecommon signs and symp-toms, but they are quitedifferent illnesses. In-flammation is the body’sresponse to somethingthat causes it harm. In-flammation, therefore, isgood. However, when in-flammation gets out ofhand, it becomes a de-structive process. InCrohn’s disease, the in-flammation can attackany section of the diges-tive tract, from themouth to the lowermostpart of the colon. Thesmall intestine and thecolon are the two areasaffected most often byCrohn’s.

Deep ulcersthat penetrate thetract’s wall form.Tunnels connect-ing organs withthe digestive tractoften develop.Those tunnels arecalled fistulas.A b d om i n a l

pain with diar-rhea and weightloss are promi-nent symptoms.Passing stooloften alleviates

the pain for a while. Peo-ple also might develop afever. Naturally when allthis happens, Crohn’s pa-tients have little energyto do anything.You have to put treat-

ment into the pluralwhen speaking ofCrohn’s. It has manytreatments. I’ll give you avery brief outline, be-cause a long list of medi-cines will only confuseyou.One of the first med-icines chosen for treat-ment is Asacol(NYSE:PG) ,which calmsthe inflamed tract. If amore potent remedy isneeded, prednisone, one

of the cortisone drugs,often is used. A newgroup of medicines calledbiologicals is highly effec-tive when the more com-mon ones aren’t makinga dent in improvingsymptoms. Remicade (in-fliximab) is one example.

DEAR DR. DONO-HUE: Is 1,000 IU of vita-min D too much? Thedoctor recommended it. Iam 84. — F.H.

ANSWER: The newrecommendations for vi-tamin D are 600 IU foradults up to 70 years ofage, and 800 IU for thoseolder than 70. Your doseis not excessive. Theupper limit is set at 4,000IU a day.

DEAR DR. DONO-HUE: Please enlightenme on the pros and consof iodized salt versus saltwithout iodine. I usedvery little iodized salt inmy cooking and rarely atthe table.What is the useof salt without iodine? —B.S.

ANSWER: In theearly years of the 20th

century, hypothyroidism(a sluggish thyroidgland) and goiter (thy-roid enlargement) wererampant.This was due toiodine deficiency.In the 1920s, the gov-

ernment felt that addingiodine to salt would solvethis problem. Salt wascheap, and everyone usedit. So iodized salt becamestandard. It worked. Theincidence of hypothy-roidism and goiter wasgreatly reduced. Iodinedoesn’t affect the taste ofsalt.Even if you don’t use

iodized salt today, youstill get enough from diet.Ocean fish, shellfish,milk, cheeses, yogurt andeggs have a good supplyof iodine. Furthermore,most commercial bakedgoods and other foodscontain iodized salt.People on a low-salt

diet often wonder if theyare getting enough io-dine. They are.You use salt without

iodine for the same rea-sons you’d use iodizedsalt — because the recipecalls for salt.

DEAR ABBY: I ama 38-year-old momand have been singlefor the last 10 years. Ilive alone with my 11-year-old daughter andsupport us withoutassistance. I workfull-time and rely onmy mother to take mydaughter to schooland pick her up whileI’m at work.Because of this,

anytime I try to have anykind of relationship with aman, my mother turnsagainst me. She acts like I nolonger exist as long as I try tohave a love life. Please give

me some advice onwhat to do. — MISS-ING SOMETHING INNORTH CAROLINA

DEAR MISSINGSOMETHING: I’ll try.It is time to becomeless emotionally de-pendent on yourmother. At age 38, youdo not need her bless-ing to date, and youshould make that factclear to her. If she pun-

ishes you for expecting to betreated like the adult you are,then arrange other trans-portation for your daughter.As long as you allow her torun your life, you will not have

a life of your own.

DEAR ABBY: You some-times publish letters regard-ing random acts of kindness.I know people like to sharehow blessed they are thatothers have given to them.Well, I would like to sharehow being the giver is ablessing as well.My children and I eat

lunch out on Saturdays. Mostrecently, we went to one ofour favorite restaurants. Aswe were being seated, I no-ticed an elderly gentlemaneating alone. He read thepaper, ate his meal and keptto himself.

I was struck by how alone heseemed to be. All during thelunch, I couldn’t shake the feel-ing that I should reach out.Finally, I gave in. I went to

the counter and paid for hismeal.When the waitress

brought our check to thetable, she asked if we knewthe man. I responded no, thatwe just wanted to do some-thing nice. She then confidedto me that he was a regularthere, but she hadn’t seenhim lately because he hadjust lost his wife.Abby, I was so glad I had

followed my heart andreached out. I can only pray

that he was as pleased by myanonymous gift as I was togive it. — RECEIVING BYGIVING IN ILLINOIS

DEAR RECEIVING BYGIVING: I’m sure he was.Your letter illustrates thepleasure that comes when wefollow the dictates of ourhearts. I applaud your gener-ous gesture.

Scammers will senda check and ask the sellerto wire the excessthrough Western Union(possibly for courier fees).The scammer's check isfake and eventuallybounces and the sellerloses the wired amount.While banks and WesternUnion branches aretrained at spotting fakechecks, these types ofscams are growing in-creasingly sophisticatedand fake checks oftenaren't caught for weeks.Funds wired throughWestern Union or Money-Gram are irretrievableand virtually untraceable.

Once a BUCKEYEAlways a BUCKEYE

Some of Shelby County’s biggest OSU FANS!

SPORTS Sidney Daily News, Friday, November 4, 2011 Page 16

QUARTERBACKSBraxton Miller never looked more in control at quarterback than he did in

Ohio State’s 33-29 win over Wisconsin last Saturday night. His 40-yard touch-down pass to Devin Smith for the game-winning score might have saved the season for OSU. But it also might have created slightly excessive expecta-tions of what Miller can do on a regular basis.

True freshman Tre Roberson, last year’s Mr. Football in Indiana, became IU’s starting quarterback two games ago. He replaced Edward Wright-Baker. Roberson has completed 60 percent of his passes for two touchdowns, with one interception, and has averaged 102 yards rushing a game as the starter.

Advantage: Even

< RUNNING BACKSIt’s obvious Dan Herron is determined to make up for lost

time in the six regular-season games he has been allowed to play after serving a six-game suspension. Herron made it two for two in 100-yard rushing games since his return when he ran for 160 yards against Wisconsin. Carlos Hyde, who has nearly disappeared from the offense since Herron’s return, could get more carries this week because No. 2 tailback

Jordan Hall suffered a sprained ankle against Wisconsin and No. 4 tailback Jaamal Berry has been suspended after being charged with assault.

Junior college transfer Stephen Houston leads Indiana with 577 yards and six touchdowns. He rushed for 151 yards on 19 carries in a 59-38 loss to Northwestern last week.

Advantage: Ohio State

RECEIVERSTo put it in recessionary terms, Ohio State’s wide receivers have had their

hours cut back or their jobs downsized. No OSU receiver has caught more than four passes in a game this season. Against Illinois, there was only one pass completion and at Miami no wide receiver had a catch.

Indiana lost two of its top three receivers earlier this week when Damarlo Belcher was booted off the team for that old favorite, a “violation of team rules,” and Duwyce Wilson suffered a season-ending knee injury. Belcher, who was suspended for the Northwestern game before being permanently separated from the team, caught 78 passes last season.

Advantage: Even< OFFENSIVE LINEMEN

Ohio State’s offensive line did a lot of good work when the offense rolled up 457 yards against Wisconsin. But also give the line credit for something it didn’t do. After having nine false start penalties in its previous three games, it had only one flag thrown for that violation last Saturday.

Center Will Matte (31 career starts) might be Indiana’s best offensive lineman, but he has missed the last two games with

a knee injury. IU’s depth chart lists him as a starter this week. Tackle Andre McDonald has 20 career starts. Indiana has used six different starting line-ups on its offensive line this season.

Advantage: Ohio State

< DEFENSIVE LINEMENJohn Simon and Johnathan Hankins have been solid all

season and now they’re getting some help. Adam Bellamy added a sack to the two Simon had against Wisconsin. Maybe the most impressive work the defensive line did in that game was holding the Badgers’ powerful running game to 89 yards.

It hasn’t been pretty for Indiana’s front seven on defense lately. In the last three games, the Hoosiers have given up

59, 45 and 59 points. Northwestern gained 616 yards (317 rushing) against them last week. Before that, Iowa went for 456 yards (203 rushing) and Wis-consin rolled for 524 yards (332 rushing). Three-year starter Adam Replogle (4 sacks) is probably the best defensive lineman IU has.

Advantage: Ohio State

< LINEBACKERSIt was no surprise that Andrew Sweat was the player pres-

suring Wisconsin quarterback Russell Wilson on the Badgers’ final play last Saturday. He leads the Buckeyes in tackles with 57. Freshman linebacker Ryan Shazier continued to impress, getting a blocked punt against Wisconsin.

Indiana senior linebacker Leon Beckum has played the last two games after missing six games because of a knee injury in the season opener. He led Indiana in tackles for losses last

season. Middle linebacker Jeff Thomas has 4.5 tackles for losses. Redshirt freshman Chase Hoobler is the brother of former Ohio State player Chad Hoobler.

Advantage: Ohio State

< DEFENSIVE BACKSOhio State gave up two passing touchdowns in 2 ½ minutes

in the fourth quarter against Wisconsin. Add that to a second-half collapse against Nebraska and a close call against Toledo and there might be some reason for concern. But Wisconsin’s Wilson was the first quarterback since Michigan State’s Kirk Cousins to pass for more than 200 yards against OSU.

Indiana has given up 15 touchdown passes, five more than any other team in the the Big Ten. The Hoosiers start two true freshmen in the defensive backfield.

Advantage: Ohio State

< SPECIAL TEAMSDrew Basil has hit his last nine field goal attempts, though

he had to sneak his only attempt against Wisconsin through the uprights. Ben Buchanan is averaging 41.3 yards per punt. Jordan Hall’s kickoff return was an important part of OSU’s final drive against Wisconsin.

Advantage: Ohio State

There are rebuilding jobs. There are major rebuilding jobs. And then there is Indiana football.

At places like Ohio State, Michigan and Notre Dame, buildings are named after football coaches who won year after year after year.

Who would qualify for such an honor at Indiana? Bo McMillan, maybe?

McMillan, who left Indiana in 1947, is the last Hoosiers football coach to depart with a winning record for his time in Bloomington.

Thirteen coaches have fol-lowed him, including current first-year coach Kevin Wil-son. None of the 12 between McMillan and Wilson could get above the .500 mark for their career, and Wilson is off to a bad start with a 1-8 record so far.

Winning at Indiana is like an Iron Man competition for coaches. Only no one ever gets to the finish line.

Some pretty good coaches have come and gone at IU, confident they would be the ones to reverse the course of Hoosiers football history.

John Pont, whose teams were 31-51-1 at Indiana from 1965-1972, had a 55-27-3 record at Miami of Ohio and Yale before he tried to turn the Hoosiers’ program around.

Lee Corso might be best remembered as a jokester now and when he was going 41-68-2 at Indiana from 1973-1982. But he had a 36-23-5 career record at Louisville and Northern Illinois.

Bill Mallory had four win-ning seasons in five years from 1990-1994 at IU, but his over-all record there was 69-77-3. At Miami of Ohio, Colorado and Northern Illinois, he was 96-48-4.

Gerry DiNardo was 8-27 at Indiana from 2002-04 after his LSU and Vanderbilt teams won 51 of 101.

The late Terry Hoeppner never saw a losing season at Miami of Ohio in six years, but then went 9-14 in two seasons at IU.

Ohio State fans were ready to write off the season when the Buckeyes split their first six games. Imagine the faith and fortitude it would take to be a longtime Indiana football fan.

JACKSON CENTER freshman Haley Elchert keeps the ballalive during action in the Division IV Regional Volleyball Tour-nament at Tipp City Thursday. The Lady Tigers saw their sea-son ended by top-ranked St. Henry in the semifinals.

BY MATT ZIRCHER

TIPP CITY — St. Henrymay have won the match inthree sets, but the Lady Red-skins had to withstand a chal-lenge by Jackson Center indoing so as the Lady Tigershung tough for much of thefirst two sets before falling 27-25, 25-13, 25-13 in the DivisionIV regional volleyball semifi-nals here Thursday night.St. Henry, the top-ranked

Division IV team in the state,improves to 25-1 heading intoSaturday’s final at 2 againstdefending state champLehman, who defeated FortLoramie in the other semifi-nal. Jackson Center sees itsseason close at 18-9.The Tigers scored the first

two points of the match onkills from freshmen HaleyElchert and CourtneyZimpfer, but trailed until re-gaining the lead at 10-8 withfive consecutive points, in-cluding a block and kill byBrooke Richard.It seesawed back and forth

from there until Jackson usedanother Elchert kill alongwith an Ann Frieders block tobuild a 19-14 cushion.St. Henry answered with

three straight before aRichard kill broke that stringand the Redskins eventuallytied it at 20 before Richardstruck again, this time with atip kill.Jackson later reached set

point at 24-23 on a BrittanyFoster kill, but a service errorkept St. Henry alive and theRedskins went up 25-24 on abad set by the Tigers. AnotherRichard kill evened the scoreagain, but St. Henry wouldscore the final two points on a

Katie Hoyng kill and ace toclaim the set.“We were in the driver’s

seat in that first set, but thenwe started to play conserva-tive and didn’t attack like wedid early on,” said Jacksoncoach Kim Metz. “We stoppedpushing and didn’t put St.Henry in bad positions to runtheir offense.”The two teams battled back

and forth again in the earlystages of the second set asJackson only trailed 9-7 fol-lowing a Redskin error, but St.Henry broke it open with sixin a row, including three Ash-ley Heitkamp kills and a pairof Abby Brunswick aces.The Tigers cut the deficit to

15-11 with four straight oftheir own, but could get nocloser as the Redskinsoutscored Jackson 10-2 therest of the set, including a pairof 4-0 bursts.“We stopped hitting and

kept trying to tip the ball,”said Metz. “St. Henry wasable to pick up on that andwas able to run their offense.We weren’t able to preventthem from scoring in buncheslike we did in the first set.”Two more Heitkamp kills

and two from Hoyng helpedSt. Henry start the third setwith a 5-1 advantage and theRedskins gradually pulledaway from there to close outthe match.St. Henry finished with a

44-24 kill advantage andwhile the Redskins had just a6-5 edge in aces, they alsocommitted just two service er-rors compared to seven for theTigers.Richard paced Jackson

with 10 kills while Foster hadseven and Elchert four.

No. 1 St. Henrydowns Jackson

BY ROB KISEROhio Community Media

TIPP CITY — The show-down is set.No. 1 St. Henry will play

No. 2 Lehman Catholic in aDivision IV volleyball regionalfinal at 2 p.m. Saturday atTippecanoe High School.“Definitely, we are looking

forward to it after losing tothem (in the regular season),”Lehman senior middle PaxtonHatcher said. “And, we areplaying well right now.”But first, Lehman had to

get past a young, talentedFort Loramie team Thursdaynight in the regional semifi-nals.And the Lady Redskins

scrapped hard in all threegames before losing 25-20, 25-18, 25-16.“This was a good match for

us,” Lehman coach GregSnipes said. “This was goodpreparation for St. Henry.Both teams are familiar witheach other and get up for thismatch. Fort Loramie alwaysplays us tough, so we knewthis would be a good match.”And while they came up

short, the Lady Redskinsshowed why they will be oneof the most feared teamsaround in the future, puttingup an 18-9 record with a ros-ter that was made up mostlyof freshmen and sophomores.“You are going to see these

girls for another two years,some of them three,” Fort Lo-ramie coach John Rodgerssaid. “There were a whole lotof people who saw us thissummer and didn't give usmuch chance of being here (inthe regionals).“I am so proud of these

girls. From winning theleague, to winning sectionalsand district, these girls havereally come a long way.”And all three games

seemed to have a pattern tothem.Lehman would get off to a

fast start, only to see the LadyRedskins rally.The first game the Lady

Cavalier opened a 15-8 leadwith two kills each by LindseySpearman and Andrea Thobe.“Most of the year, we have

relied heavily on the middles,”Snipes said. “Tonight, we wentto the outsides and they camethrough, which was good tosee. I thought we would betight early, but we came outand opened up a lead.”A Lindsey Hilgefort kill

and Reggi Brandewie blockstarted a run for Fort Loramieand they got as close as 20-18,before the Cavaliers finishedthings off.Consecutive kills by Thobe

on Ellie Waldsmith’s serveended it.“Our problem was we just

couldn’t string points to-gether tonight,” Rodgers said.“We would get a couple pointsand Lehman would say OKand run off three or fourpoints. They have that experi-ence and that is what theydo.”It was more of the same in

the second and third games.In the second game,

Lehman led 18-9 after anEllie Cain ace. A kill by Dar-ian Rose helped Loramie closewithin 20-16, before the LadyCavs would put the gameaway, with kills by Cain andHatcher.“That seemed to be the

rhythm for the first two

games,” Snipes said. “Ithought we did a better jobclosing things out in the thirdgame.”Hatcher began to take con-

trol at the net as the matchwent on, finishing with fiveblocks.“After the first couple

points, we were able to controlthe net,” Snipes said. “Paxton(Hatcher) had a big matchand that is something thatwill be important Saturdaywith St. Henry’s size.”A block and spike by

Hatcher gave Lehman an 11-4lead in the third game andFort Loramie could get nocloser than 20-15 before theLady Cavaliers finishedthings off.“I got off to a rough start

tonight,” Hatcher said. “It hap-

pens. I played better after that.”For Lehman, Thobe had 13

kills, 18 assists and eight digs,while Morgan Schmitmeyerhad six kills.Waldsmith had five kills

and seven digs and Caindished out 12 assists.Erica Paulus led the de-

fense with 13 digs andMeghan Earhart added seven.For Loramie, Rose had 10

kills, while Hilgefort addedsix.Kelly Turner added five

kills and Brandewie was goodfor four.Danielle Wehrman led the

defense with 19 digs andMeghan Bruns added seven.Julie Hoying dished out 21 as-sists.Now, Lehman, 24-3, gets a

rematch with 26-1 St. Henry.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Consultants studying howwell Ohio State programs comply with rules and re-quirements have finished the first stage of their re-view.The compliance review was launched earlier this

year following the school's football memorabiliascandal that led to several player suspensions, thedeparture of coach Jim Tressel and an NCAA in-vestigation.Geoff Chatas, the university's chief financial of-

ficer, says consultants have finished reviewing theschool's compliance efforts and are moving on tohow well the university compares to other collegesand companies.Consultants updated university trustees Thurs-

day on their progress but did not give details offindings.

BOISE, Idaho (AP)—The Idaho State Board of Ed-ucation has given Boise State permission to pursuemembership with the Big East Conference, a movethat would mean more revenue and give the Broncosa clear path to the Bowl Championship Series.The board voted 7-1 Thursday to give university

President Bob Kustra the authority to move BoiseState's football program out of the Mountain WestConference and into the Big East for the 2013 sea-son.Kustra has had ongoing discussions with Big

East representatives, including during a campusvisit by conference leaders last week. Boise Statehas not yet received a formal invitation to join, butKustra told trustees he expects one to come in thenext few days.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) —Two weeks ago, runningback Chris Ogbonnayawas on Houston’s prac-tice squad, waiting forhis chance. On Sunday,he’ll play — against theTexans.Such is life in the un-

predictable NFL.“It’s crazy.This league

is crazy,” said Ogbon-naya, signed by theBrowns on Oct. 18.“There are opportunitiesthat come out ofnowhere, come out of dif-ferent circumstances,different situations.”You want crazy and

different?Well, Cleveland’s the

place.The Browns have un-

dergone a maddeningmakeover in the offen-sive backfield this sea-son as an eruption ofinjuries have sidelinedrunning backs PeytonHillis, Montario Hard-esty and Brandon Jack-son, who suffered aseason-ending toe injuryin an exhibition.With Hillis, who has

been a lightning rod forcontroversy, sidelined bya hamstring injury, theBrowns signed Ogbon-naya last month. Andwith Hardesty downafter tearing a calf mus-cle last week that couldkeep him out for severalgames, the team signedfree agent Thomas Clay-ton earlier this week fol-lowing a tryout.The Browns’ 29th

ranked running game ishurting. It could be ingreater pain Sundaywhen Cleveland facesthe Houston Texans, whohave the league’s third-ranked defense.However, the Browns

finally got some encour-aging news Thursdaywhen Hillis made itthrough his first practicein more than a week andsaid he’s on track to playSunday after missingCleveland’s previous twogames. It was Hillis’ firstpractice since Oct. 26,when he pushed his ten-der hamstring too hardand suffered a setback.Hardesty’s injury has

given Hillis a chance tomake amends for a tu-multuous, and to thispoint, unproductive sea-son. The 25-year-old,who rushed for 1,177yards and 11 TDs lastseason, has made moreheadlines for his off-the-field issues than any-thing he’s done betweenthe goal posts.There’s been his con-

tract squabble, his deci-sion to sit out a gamewith strep throat, hissurprise marriage lastweek and a miscommu-nication that caused himto miss a Halloweencharity event for chil-dren. Although he hasn’tintended to be a distrac-

tion, he’s been just that.The Browns now need

him to do one thing: takethe ball and run.“I feel like the guys

are looking up to me andneed me to come outthere to produce forthem and for the team,”Hillis said. “They expecta lot out of me, probablyeven more than I expectfrommyself. That makesme want to work harderfor them. At this point,I’m trying to get healthyand trying to make sureI don’t do anything stu-pid by going out thereand reinjuring or re-ag-gravating anything andtry to get back Sunday.”The return of a

healthy Hillis would bewelcomed relief for Og-bonnaya. Last week, theHouston native wasforced to stay on the fieldfor nearly the entiregame after Hardesty,starting in place ofHillis, got hurt in thefirst quarter. Ogbonnayawas already playing spe-cial teams and had todouble his workload.Ogbonnaya finished

with 11 carries for 37yards, had five recep-tions and gave every-thing he had.“At halftime, he’s

gassed,” said quarter-back Colt McCoy, whowas also Ogbonnaya’steammate in college.“He’s on special teams,he’s the personal protec-tor on punts. The guyplayed almost every play.By the fourth quarterwhen we started makinga run, he’s gassed, andthat hurt us. I think hav-ing Thomas will help usthis week.”Clayton was home in

Massachusetts staying inshape and hoping to hearfrom a team when theBrowns called on Mon-day. He was with Cleve-land three different timeslast season, so there wasa familiarity with himand some of the coaches.Notes: Browns WR

Mohamed Massaquoipracticed for the firsttime since suffering aconcussion on Oct. 23.He sat out last week’sgame. Massaquoi saidhis symptoms were dif-ferent from what he ex-perienced last seasonwhen he got a concus-sion from a helmet-to-helmet hit by Steelerslinebacker James Harri-son. “I don’t think theimpact was as forceful,”he said. ... CB DimitriPatterson (knee) missedhis second straight prac-tice and will likely missSunday’s game. ... CoachPat Shurmur isn’t plan-ning to replace TonyPashos at right startingtackle. Both Artis Hicksand Oneil Cousinsshared reps in practicewith Pashos, who hasbeen battling an ankleinjury, but Shurmur said“I wouldn’t read intothat.”

November marks the 24th anniver-sary of the Energizer brand batteries“Change Your Clock, Change YourBattery” campaign. Co-sponsored bythe International Association of FireChiefs, the program urges all Ameri-cans to adopt a simple, lifesavinghabit: changing and testing the bat-teries in smoke alarms and carbonmonoxide detectors when they changetheir clocks back from daylight-savingtime each fall, this year on Sunday.The National Fire Protection Asso-

ciation (NFPA) was established in1896 to reduce the worldwide burdenof fire and other hazards on the qual-ity of life by providing and advocatingconsensus codes and standards, re-search, training, and education.NFPA, whose membership totals

more than 70,000 individuals aroundthe world, each year reviews and re-vises its fire safety education mes-sages. This year’s new information onsmoke alarms includes:•Working smoke alarms save lives,

cutting the risk of dying in a home firein half. Smoke alarms should be in-stalled in every home.• Smoke alarms should be installed

away from the kitchen to prevent falsealarms. Generally, they should be atleast 10 feet from a cooking appliance.• Smoke alarms and alert devices

are available for people who are deafor hard of hearing. Strobe lightsthroughout the home are activated bysmoke alarms and alert people whoare deaf to fire conditions. Recent re-search has shown that a loud, mixedlow-pitched sound is more effective forwaking people of all ages than theloud high-pitched sound of a tradi-tional smoke alarm. As people age,their ability to hear high-pitchedsounds decreases.All rental units need working

smoke alarms. If, after having con-tacted the landlord or property man-ager, smoke alarms remainuninstalled, Deputy Chief Rick Simonreminds residents that the Depart-ment of Fire & Emergency Serviceshas a supply of free smoke detectorsfor low and moderate income house-holds. Simply stop by Fire Station No.1 at 222 W. Poplar St. to determinequalifications and get a free smoke de-tector.In addition, Simon recommends

residents use the “extra” hour theysave from the time change to plan andpractice escape routes, and also tomake sure fellow neighbors and com-munity members do the same. Fami-lies should also prepare a fire safetykit that includes working flashlightsand fresh batteries.

Residents remindedto change clocks and

batteries this weekend

Sidney native preserveshistoric buildings in artwork

BY PATRICIA ANNSPEELMAN

pspeelman@sdnccg.com

Sidney native Allan B.Allen loves buildings — espe-cially old buildings — and,even more especially, build-ings that no longer exist.Allen is an artist who

chronicles historic structures.In the 1990s, he created a se-ries of pencil and pen-and-inkdrawings of buildings inShelby County. Now, he is onthe verge of self-publishing acoffee table book comprising100 pictures of buildings inSanta Cruz, Calif., where hehas lived for many years.“They are all pen-and-ink

drawings,” he said recently. “Iwas a painter for a long time,but I’ve been doing the draw-ings off and on for 35 years,since 1977. I’d see a house as Iwas riding around on my bike,and decide to draw it.”In addition to drawing, he

continues to paint in oil andwatercolors.His book, titled “An Archi-

tectural Tour of Santa CruzCounty,” includes renditions ofmany important edifices thathave been lost to the ravagesof history.“The masonry buildings

came down in the two earth-quakes we had here,” Allensaid. “Or they were torn downto build filling stations. Eachbuilding that I draw is its ownunique artchitecture. I’mstriving to have a great vari-

ety of buildings dating from1860 to 1900. But in the book,it’s not just buildings. There’sa cemetary; there are streetscenes.”He thinks it’s important to

preserve the look of structuresthat defined a place and anera. He used photographsfrom newspaper archives tocapture images of buildingsthat now only memories.“There were some gems in

neighborhoods that are longgone,” Allen said. He works“en plein air,” if his subjectsare still standing.“I draw on location in pen-

cil. I finish in ink in my stu-dio,” he said. “I’ve never hadowners giving me grief. Mostpeople paid no attention to

me, whatsover (as I sat withmy drawing pad near theirproperties).” It takes himabout a month to finish eachpiece and he works mostly inthe evenings so the artworkdoesn’t interfere with his dayjob as a landscape and main-tenance gardener.Allen is the son of the late

George and Florence PoolAllen. His sister, Barbara Dit-mer, still lives in ShelbyCounty.“I was known almost al-

ways as Bruce (his middlename) when I was in Sidney,”he said. “But out here, I go byAllan.”He studied art at Sidney

High School under RichardCromer. While he was still in

school, Allen had several one-man shows at Amos MemorialPublic Library. He graduatedin 1967 and then completed agraphic design and fine artdegree at the Dayton Art In-stitute in 1971. He was barelyout of college when he beganto design and sell Christmascards he created withlinoleum block prints.The paintings he creates

are landscapes and seascapes.His work has been exhibitedin Santa Cruz galleries and heoccasionally enters work inSidney’s Spring Fling showpresented by Gateway ArtsCouncil. But he does not havean exclusive contract with anyspecific gallery. For the mostpart, marketing is up to him.“Artists in Santa Cruz have

to do pretty much everythingon their own,” Allen said.“There are hundreds ofartists, but no real markethere. Carmel is where artsells. My works that are inprivate collections are mostlydrawings of houses I’ve madefor the people who own thehouses.”And once the book comes

out, another project is alreadybrewing in his mind.“We will add drawings for a

second edition,” he said. “And Iwant to explore Marin County,north of San Francisco.”His Shelby County series of

15 drawings are still availableas notecards or 11-inch by 17-inch frameable prints at CRFrameGallery, 115 S.OhioAve.

Two races in Loramie Twp.BY TERRY PELLMAN

RUSSIA — There is a three-way racefor the Loramie Township trustee posi-tion in Tuesday’s election, while onlytwo remain in the race for fiscal officer.Chester McKinney and Bonnie

Paulus are vying for the post of fiscalofficer. Jeffrey O’Reilly, 3815 RedmondRoad, withdrew his candidacy.McKinney, 2280 Versailles Road,

farms grain on a farm that has been inthe family since 1845. He is also a re-tired teacher and has serves as an ath-letic official for 43 years.McKinney has a bachelor’s degree in

science, and a master’s degree in edu-cation. He has also completed a post-graduate course in finance and taxstructure. He explains that he has longheld an interest in township adminis-tration.McKinney wants to change the in-

vestment practices of the township. Hewould like to place township funds in abank within the township borders,while at the same time maximizing in-vestment return.McKinney says that there is a man-

ual of several hundred pages that spec-ify rules and regulations for townshipduties, and “If you follow procedure, youcome out pretty good.”He and wife Mary are the parents of

adult sons Bill and John.The other candidate for fiscal officer

is Bonnie Paulus, 4376 Rangeline Road,who has worked as the office managerand bookkeeper for a family businessfor over 22 years. She previouslyworked as a bookkeeper for Rehabilita-tive Services in Coldwater. She andhusband Dan have two sons, Ryan andEthan.Paulus is a member of several com-

mittees and currently serves as presi-dent of Nurturing Network. She wasencouraged by a friend to seek the of-fice, and after some consideration filedfor her candidacy. She says that sheconsidered her experience and felt thatshe would be a good fit after perform-ing very similar duties. She has enjoyedbookkeeping since taking relatedclasses in high school.Paulus states, “I want to keep the

books accurate. I want people to feelthey can come to any of the meetings,and I want to have an open book policy.”She says that the economy will re-

quire to township to be frugal with themoney available. She sees the need foropenness with township residents sothat they can see how their money isbeing used. Paulus adds that she has

enjoyed meeting so many residents ofthe township through her door-to-doorvisits.There are also three candidates

seeking one Loramie Township trusteeslot.Among them is Dale M. Goubeaux,

1077 Fessler-Buxton Road, who is selfemployed as a farmer, as well as oper-ating Goubeaux Excavating. He is a for-mer employee of the Clopay Corp. Heand wife Brenda are the parents of sonsGreg and Jake.Goubeaux has long held an interest

in government, and has had some expo-sure to local issues while doing exca-vating work. He relates that he was

encouraged to run by others who wereaware of his skills and knowledge ofsuch matters as watersheds, roads andheavy equipment operation. That workhas made him knowledgeable about thearea. He also has the required licenseto operate large trucks for snow clear-ing.Goubeaux emphasizes that he can

rearrange his work to meet the needs ofthe township: “I can be there for peoplewhen they need me.”Goubeaux states that money will be

an ongoing issue for the township. Hefeels that the trustees have done a goodjob, but would like to contribute to thetownship operations and help the com-munity.A second candidate is Francis

“Frank” Grillot, 244 W. Main St., who isthe incumbent candidate. He hasserved in that capacity for 20 years. Heand wife Rebecca are the parents ofsons Matthew, Doug, and Kevin anddaughters Beth and Michelle.Grillot expects that road mainte-

nance will occupy much of the trustees’attention. He predicts that the cost ofpaving materials, which are made fromoil, will likely become more of a chal-lenge. Grillot explains that the countygovernment has responsibility for someof the infrastructure such as bridges.He decided to run again because he

enjoys service to the residents of thetownship.He points out that he is self-em-

ployed, and is flexible in his ability toprovide the needed services to the resi-dents.Grillot would like to continue work-

ing with the county to accomplish somemore bridge work that could be pro-vided through the earmarked countysales tax. In addition, he hopes to pur-sue ways in which to accomplish moreroad work in spite of the rising cost ofmaterials and labor.The third candidate is Dustin Meyer,

5800 Fessler-Buxton Road, Houston, afull-time grain and steer farmer. He ismarried to Grace.Meyer notes that during the winter

he has extra time, and decided to pur-sue an additional endeavor. He statesthat he would enjoy the work of clear-ing snow.Meyer feels that the roads are in

fairly good condition within the town-ship, and some have been repaved overthe last few years.Meyer’s goal would be to keep the

road clear and safe properly maintainditches, and sees the economy as alooming challenge.
