Sidney Daily News, Saturday, November 9, 2013

Health Department notes personnel changes, funding for immunizations The Sidney-Shelby County Health Department has announced personnel changes and continued state funding through December for immunizations. Shannon Nagel, registered nurse, has been the immunization coordinator for the Health Department for eight years. “The immunization program has gone through many changes in these eight, said Margie Eilerman, R.N., director of nursing. “Shannon has done a great job at the Health Department and in the community by supporting health care providers in the fight against vaccine preventable diseases in Shelby County.” Starting in January, she will be moving to a full-time position with the Shelby County WIC Program. Michele Detrick, R.N. will be taking the part-time position of immunization coordinator at the Health Department. She has been with the Health Department for 13 years and has 26 years nursing experience and 13 years vaccine experience. The goal for Shelby County is to protect the public from vaccine-preventable diseases, Eilerman said. The immunization coordinator facilitates this by providing local health care providers, their staff, Health Department, clerical personnel, nursing staff and county residents education and resource materials regarding immunizations. The goal for immunization protection is 90 percent, Visit www.immunize.org for information and schedules for adult and childhood immunizations. Historically, the Ohio Department of

Health has provided all local health departments with enough vaccine to ensure that any child needing vaccine at a local health department would not be turned away due to their inability to pay, and/or insurance status. This funding came from general revenue funds. These funds have been cut at the state level. Based on vaccine availability, the funding has been extended through December. The Sidney-Shelby County Health Department will continue to vaccinate children enrolled in the Medicaid program, those with no insurance, the underinsured and commercial/private insurance. Medicaid cards must be presented at the time of service. Privateinsured clients, including children, adults, and international travel, will be provided a receipt to submit to their insurance. “The SSCHD strives to provide cost effective vaccines to the children and adults of Shelby County,” Eilerman said. “Many vaccines have become very expensive, and for these you may be put on a waiting list until we have enough need for a 10 dose box to be purchased. Most vaccines are given at cost with an administration fee added to cover all staff time and materials needed to administer the vaccine. Starting July 1, all vaccine services have been provided by appointment only, Monday through Friday, from 8:1511:15 a.m. and 12:30-2:30 p.m. Call the Health Department with questions or to schedule an appointment at 498-7249.

Concerned From page 1 city staff is studying the amended bill to see how it would affect the city. Cundiff said he’s heard from sources watching the bill that it may be scheduled for a vote before the full House of Representatives as early as next week. It then would go to the Senate, where further changes are expected. He said legislators may want to deal with the bill before 2014 so it doesn’t become an issue during an election year. Ginger Adams, finance officer for Sidney, said the bill was designed to revise the laws governing how local municipalities calculate and collect local income tax. The original intent of the bill was to provide greater uniformity among Ohio’s cities in a revenue-neutral fashion. She said the bill is not revenue-neutral, despite what its backers have stated. “Sidney staff’s review indicates that the impact of this state bill could be about $95,000 per year less revenue with which to provide city services,” Adams said. “This would come after Sidney has already suffered an annual loss of nearly $950,000 of state-shared revenues at the hands of state legislators.” The current version of HB 5 makes changes to the so-called “casual entrant” rule, Adams said. Current law requires nonresident employers to withhold Sidney income taxes from employees who work in Sidney for more than 12 days. After meeting the threshold, the withholding goes back to day one. HB 5 increases the number of days before mandatory withholding from a now uniform 12 days to 20 days and the first 20 days is not taxed — essentially becoming a tax-free use of city resources. The majority of the estimated loss to Sidney would come from this proposed change. Other changes that would cost Sidney include requiring the use of certified mail for all correspondence to taxpayers or their tax preparers regarding adjustments or corrections to their tax returns, reducing the interest rate charged to late-payers, and reducing penalties charged for late payment, late filing and underestimation of taxes owed. “For most Ohio cities, the change that will reduce income the most is a requirement to provide a five-year net operating loss carry-forward for businesses,” Adams said. “Fortunately, Sidney already allows its businesses to utilize a fiveyear loss carry-forward period.” In his testimony, Barhorst compared conditions as they were when he first was in office in the 1980s to today. He noted partnerships between local governments and the state that benefited citizens in past years no longer exist. “I found that a great deal had changed in the near quarter-century that I was out of office,” Barhorst said. “The partnerships between Columbus and Sidney that helped make possible Sidney’s recovery in the early ’80s seem to have disappeared. Ohio’s legislative and executive branches, in an unbending desire to solve the state’s budgetary woes, have seemingly been oblivious to consequences their actions have wrought in the villages, cities, and counties of Ohio.” Barhorst said Sidney lost more than $400,000 as a result of the General Assembly’s reduction in Local Government Fund money; an additional $300,000 as a result of the elimination of the personal property tax; and $250,000 as a result of the elimination of the

estate tax. “Those cuts only exacerbated Sidney’s slow economic recovery from the Great Recession and the resulting lower income tax collections,” he said. Barhorst detailed how state funding cuts have affected the city: • 27 seasonal positions, usually filled with college kids home for the summer looking for work, have not been filled for several years. • 28 full-time positions that are unfilled, including the positions of three firefighters and four police officers. • Streets that have not been paved on a regular schedule, and won’t be for the foreseeable future. “On top of the cuts, the state continues to mandate additional expenditures, unfunded of course. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has mandated $35 million in improvements to our wastewater treatment plant — despite the fact that some of the improvements are unnecessary,” Barhorst said. “Despite recent federal court rulings, OEPA still has not sat down with us to discuss modification of the plan that will waste additional local tax dollars and cause rates to increase more than 20 percent in the coming year, and will result in additional increases the next year and the year after.” Barhorst told the committee that municipalities’ concerns about HB 5 were not adequately addressed by Substitute HB 5. Barhorst said continuing to cut local services would hamper the city’s efforts to entice businesses to stay and expand, and to attract new businesses. Barhorst said the Ohio Municipal League and the Ohio Association of Mayors became aware in 2010 “of a renewed push by special-interest groups to change the municipal income tax laws under the guise of uniformity.” Municipalities began working on the issue. “Unlike the coalition of special-interest groups and bill sponsors, we were the ones who put our collective heads together to come up with a solution — a solution that tackles uniformity in as revenue-neutral, taxincrease-free-manner as possible,” Barhorst said. The municipal groups met many times over the past three years, including meetings with Rep. Peter Beck, House Ways and Means Committee chairman, Barhorst said. He said the goal of the groups was “to craft a comprehensive solution in a substitute bill that addresses the coalition’s concerns, while minimizing the negative impact on municipal revenue. As a testament to our commitment, the substitute bill that was created resulted in some revenue being sacrificed for the sake of a simpler, more uniform income tax system. Yet, that bill, for some inexplicable reason, has apparently not been considered by this committee.” “We have heard you tell us that the Municipal Income Tax Code needs uniformity,” Barhorst said. “We are committed to making it more uniform, but you need you to work with us so that our revenues are not further reduced. We simply cannot support Substitute House Bill 5. We cannot support providing special interest tax breaks for a few at the expense of our taxpayers — both citizens and businesses. “The bill in its current form is bad for economic development, bad for business and industry, bad for Sidney, and bad for Ohio. Simply put, it is flawed.”

WODC learns city, county tax revenues up City and county tax revenues are up, according to reports given at the October meeting of the West Ohio Development Council Board of Trustees. Shelby County Commissioner Julie Ehemann said sales tax revenue is up $63,000 over projections. She reported the general fund revenue is in line with the projected expectations. The federal prisoners’ income is at 94 percent of the projected amount for the year. In other news, she said the commissioners attended a budget review held by the County Commissioners Association. She said repair work on the jail roof is progressing and the county is working on reviewing health insurance and is expecting an increase in premiums. Sidney City Manager Mark Cundiff reported that income tax revenue (both withholding and direct collections) is up from

2012. Cundiff also said Sturm Construction did a good job on the Wapakoneta Avenue project, which was completed in October. City officials are looking at Phase III of the project, but that could be five years down the road. Cundiff said the airport runway project is underway. The paving is done; however, the electrical vault has been delayed, which will mean no runway lighting on the main runway until next spring. The longer runway will enable corporate jets to utilize it better. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is being planned. Cundiff also provided a city economic development projects update. He reported that Cargill will begin work on its expansion project Nov. 17. This work will involve heavy amounts of truck traffic between Campbell and Fair roads, which will occur

through Nov. 21. Police are anticipating additional traffic congestion during that period. Universal Credit Union is building a new office at the corner of Ohio 47 and Lester Avenue and will relocate from its current Vandemark Road location. Holiday Inn Express construction is progressing. Also, a new downtown business is moving forward — Java Nation coffee house received financial approval and plans to move into the Murphy building. Lastly, the city of Sidney approved WODC’s request for 2014 financial support. Village administrators provided reports. Botkins Village Administrator Jesse Kent reported County Road 25A is being repaved between Lock Two Road and the center of town. The village has signed contract documents

for a lift station job and the new Veterans Park in the village is nearing completion. Anna Village Administrator Nancy Benroth reported that Trackside Treats is moving forward. The plaza owner has reported that the final space may be filled, as he is currently working on paperwork. Using grant money provided, a house on Third Street has been demolished and seeded. Benroth also reported for Jackson Center Village Administrator Bruce Metz. She said the new tow motor batteryrecycling company is up and running. Café Veranda has been sold and reopened under new management. Fort Loramie Village Administrator Tony Schmitmeyer reported the village street resurfacing project is complete.

the state won the percentage of votes in the last election that was required by the bill to remain a qualified party next spring, the filing in U.S. District Court in Columbus argued, adding that the right to a primary is guaranteed under Ohio’s Constitution. The bill moved quickly through the GOPdominated Legislature as Ohio Republicans face increased competition

from tea party supporters who have threatened to back a third-party challenger to Kasich next year. The bill established what qualifies as a political party and what percentage of the vote must be won to maintain that status. State lawmakers said an earlier court ruling left questions hanging about the process, requiring the law to be clarified.

Today in History Associated Press

Today is Saturday, Nov. 9, the 313th day of 2013. There are 52 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 9, 1938, Nazis looted and burned synagogues as well as Jewishowned stores and houses in Germany and Austria in a pogrom that became known as “Kristallnacht.” On this date: In 1620, the passengers and crew of the Mayflower sighted Cape Cod. In 1872, fire destroyed nearly 800 buildings in Boston. In 1918, it was announced that Germany’s Kaiser Wilhelm II would abdicate. He then fled to the Netherlands. In 1952, Chaim Weizmann, the first president of Israel, died. In 1953, Welsh authorpoet Dylan Thomas died in New York at age 39. In 1961, U.S. Air Force Maj. Robert M. White became the first pilot to fly an X-15 rocket plane at six times the speed of sound. The Beatles’ future manager, Brian Epstein, first saw the group perform at The Cavern Club in Liverpool, England. In 1963, twin disasters struck Japan as some 450 miners were killed in a coaldust explosion, and about 160 people died in a train crash. In 1965, the great Northeast blackout occurred as a series of power failures lasting up to 13 1/2 hours left 30 million people in seven states and part of Canada without electricity. In 1967, a Saturn V rocket carrying an unmanned Apollo spacecraft blasted off from Cape Kennedy on a successful test flight. In 1970, former French President Charles de Gaulle died at age 79. In 1976, the U.N. General Assembly approved resolutions condemning apartheid in South Africa, including one characterizing the white-ruled government as “illegitimate.” In 1989, communist East Germany threw open its borders, allowing citizens to travel freely to the West; joyous Germans danced atop the Berlin Wall. Ten years ago: Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi’s ( joon-ee-cheeroh koh-ee-zoo-meez) ruling bloc won a majority in the country’s parliamentary elections. Three-time Top Fuel champion Shirley Muldowney, 63, ended her 30-year racing career with a loss in the second round of the Auto Club NHRA Finals at Pomona Raceway in California. Comic actor Art Carney died in Chester, Conn., at age 85.

Whig elected PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Voters in Philadelphia have elected a Whig to public office for what the victor believes may be the first time in nearly 160 years. Robert “Heshy” Bucholz, a member of the Modern Whig party, campaigned door-todoor and won 36 votes to his Democratic opponent’s 24 on Tuesday to become an election judge in the city’s Rhawnhurst section. Election judges, who serve four-year terms, receive about $100 annually and are responsible for overseeing equipment and procedures at the polls. Now a heavily Democratic city, Philadelphia’s last Whig mayor was elected in 1854. It’s hard to verify whether Whigs won any lower offices after that, said Stephanie Singer, one of three commissioners overseeing local elections. Previously an independent, Bucholz said he joined the Whigs three years ago because of their fiscally conservative but socially liberal views. They represent a sensible “middle path” between Democrats and Republicans, especially in light of the recent government shutdown, he said. “That pretty much told us we can’t trust either party and the system is broken,” Bucholz said Thursday.

This combination made from file photos shows Willis Tower, formerly known as the Sears Tower, in Chicago on March 12, 2008, left, and One World Trade Center in New York on Sept. 5, 2013. Soaring above the city at 1,776 feet, 104-story One World Trade Center is in contention with Willis Tower for the title of America’s tallest building.

Skyscraper height debated in Chicago Jason Keyser Associated Press

CHICAGO (AP) — Rising from the ashes of 9/11, the new World Trade Center tower has punched above the New York skyline to reach its powerfully symbolic height of 1,776 feet and become the tallest building in the country. Or has it? A committee of architects recognized as the arbiters on world building heights is meeting Friday to decide whether a design change affecting the skyscraper’s 408-foot needle disqualifies it from being counted. Disqualification would deny the tower the title as the nation’s tallest. But there’s more than bragging rights at stake; 1 World Trade Center stands as a monument to those killed in the terrorist attacks, and the ruling could dim the echo of America’s founding year in the structure’s height. Without the needle, the building measures 1,368 feet, a number that also holds symbolic weight as the height of the original World Trade Center. What’s more, the decision is being made by an organization based in Chicago, whose cultural and architectural history is embodied by the Willis — formerly Sears — Tower that would be knocked into second place by a vote in favor of the New York structure. “Most of the time these decisions are not so controversial,” said Daniel Safarik, an architect and spokesman for the nonprofit Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. The 30 members of its Height Committee are meeting to render a judgment behind closed doors in Chicago, where the world’s first skyscraper appeared in 1884. The committee, comprising industry professionals from all over the world, will announce its decision next week. The question over 1 World Trade Center, which remains under con-

struction and is expected to open next year, arose because of a change to the design of its tower-topping needle. Under the council’s current criteria, spires that are an integral part of a building’s aesthetic design count; broadcast antennas that can be added and removed do not. The designers of 1 World Trade Center had intended to enclose the mast’s communications gear in decorative cladding made of fiberglass and steel. But the developer removed that exterior shell from the design, saying it would be impossible to properly maintain or repair. Without it, the question is whether the mast is now primarily just a broadcast antenna. According to the architecture firm behind the building, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP, the needle will have a communications platform for radio and television equipment, but it will also be topped with an LED beacon that will fire out a horizontal blaze of light visible from up to 50 miles away on a clear night — a feature that has been described as a crowning beacon of hope. The developers said they planned to test the beacon Friday night. Safarik said the committee might consider amending its height criteria during the Friday meeting — a move with much broader implications that could force a reshuffle in the rankings of the tallest buildings in the world. If the matter weren’t so steeped in emotion it might have set off some of the good natured ribbing emblematic of the history of one-upmanship between New York and Chicago. But 1 World Trade Center is a monument to American resilience admired well beyond Manhattan. “I don’t think anybody’s going to argue with the pride in building that new tower,” said 31-year-old software developer Brett Tooley, who works across the street from the Willis Tower.

NEW YORK (AP) — Twitter’s stock slid more than 7 percent on its second trading day Friday, after the popular short messaging service saw a huge first-day pop in what turned out to be a smooth public debut. Such volatile trading is common for freshly public stocks as investors make decisions with limited insight into how well companies will do in the long run. Although there are a few outliers, most analysts believe the appropriate price range for Twitter’s stock is in the $30s and low $40s. The mean target price analysts have set for the stock, according to FactSet, is $40, with targets ranging from $29 to $54. Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter arrived at his $37 price target by assuming Twitter will double its 230 million monthly users to 460 million over the next five years while increasing the number of times users look at Twitter every day. Pachter estimates Twitter will deliver $3.5 billion in EBITDA — earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization — by 2018. “Twitter is likely in the early innings of its growth,” Pachter wrote in a note to investors. “We believe that the majority of the world’s 2.4 billion Internet users have great potential to find something or someone on Twitter that they are interested in.” San Francisco-based Twitter’s stock fell $3.25, or 7 percent, to $41.65 in trading on Friday despite an uptick in the broader market. The shares are still up 60 percent from the $26 IPO price Twitter and the IPO’s underwriting bankers set Wednesday night. Twitter made $1.8 billion in the offering. On Thursday, the company’s stock jumped 73 percent in its first day of trading, creating hordes of new millionaires —and even a few billionaires. For some perspective, here’s a look at how other prominent technology

stocks did in the week following their IPO — and how they’re faring now: n Facebook Inc., the world’s largest social network, first day of trading on May 18, 2012 Pricing: $38 per share First-day close: $38.23, up less than 1 percent from IPO price A week after the IPO: $31.91, down 16 percent from IPO price Current 52-week range: $18.87 to $54.83 Friday: $47.64, up 25.4 percent from IPO price n Zynga Inc., developer of online games, first day of trading on Dec. 16, 2011 Pricing: $10 per share First-day close: $9.50, down 5 percent from IPO price A week after the IPO: $9.39, down 6.1 percent Current 52-week range: $2.09 to $4.05 Friday: $3.51, down 64.9 percent from IPO price. n Groupon Inc., online deals company, first day of trading on Nov. 4, 2012 Pricing: $20 per share First-day close: $26.11, up 31 percent from IPO price A week after the IPO: $24.25, up 21.2 percent Current 52-week range: $2.60 to $12.76 Friday: $10.20, down 49 percent from IPO price. n LinkedIn Corp., online professional network, first day of trading on May 19, 2011 Pricing: $45 per share First-day close: $94.25, more than double IPO price A week after the IPO: $86.37, up 91.9 percent from IPO price Current 52-week range: $94.75 to $257.56 Friday: $214.99, more than four times the IPO price. n Yelp Inc., online reviews site, first trading day on March 2, 2012 Pricing: $15 per share First-day close: $24.58, up 64 percent from IPO price A week after the IPO: $19.80, up 32 percent Current 52-week range: $16.32 to $75.37 Friday: $63.62, more than four times the IPO price.

Intubation — having a breathing tube inserted into your windpipe — and paralysis are reserved for only the very most severe pneumonias, and it is really great news that you are recovering so quickly and completely. Being young (47) and female are good signs for recovery. Since your blood tests are normal, your kidneys apparently recovered completely. There is no reason not to use the same OTC medications you used before the pneumonia, and an occasional glass of wine is fine (but not too much). Some scarring after pneumonia is common, and this indeed puts you at somewhat increased risk for future pneumonias. A vaccination for pneumonia will reduce the risk of the most common bacteria.

ments are quite true. Heart attacks are three times more likely in the morning than in the evening, and 15 percent to 20 percent more likely on Mondays than on other days. Nobody knows exactly why. Mornings are thought to be more likely due to several factors: increased blood pressure, an increase in cortisone and having “stickier” platelets in the morning. There are two main theories for the Monday phenomenon — the first is backto-work stress, but recently there has been some evidence that it may be excess alcohol intake over the weekend. These are good arguments for stress reduction and avoiding excess alcohol in the first place.

Versailles play for D-III title today

Houston’s defending Wildcats marked its second win, 77-63, at Russia in the Raiders’ season opener. B. Elsass netted 31 points for the winners and Havenar 21. Watkins had 12 and Meyer 10. Only two of the Raiders made the double figures, Denny Monnin with 18 and Al Cordonnier with 17.

Jeremy Riley might need some time to tell you his lucky number. But his unluckiest number? That’s easy. “The number nine is my new unlucky number,” the coach said after the Versailles Lady Tigers lost 15-5, 15-9 to Orrville in the Division III state championship match. It’s understandable if you consider the Lady Tigers had a 9-1 lead in the second game before failing to score another point. Cheri Stammen led the Lady Tigers with eight kills and 10 assists.

Defeats Upper Sandusky in four in semifinals Friday Kyle Shaner

kshaner@civitasmedia.com

FAIRBORN — The Versailles volleyball team beat Upper Sandusky in four sets Friday at the Ervin J. Nutter Center to advance to the today’s Division III state championship match. Friday’s state semifinal was the closest match Versailles has faced throughout the tournament as the Lady Tigers lost a set for the first time this postseason en route to winning the match 25-22, 23-25, 25-22, 25-19. “These girls are competitors so they fought back,” Versailles volleyball coach Karla Frilling said. “But that’s how a state semi game should be. That’s the way we wanted it. They’re a great team, and I think they brought the best out of us, too.” There were eight ties in the first set but only one lead change as Versailles took a 4-3 lead in the set to grab the lead from Upper Sandusky. The Rams kept it close and had the game tied at 22-22, but the Tigers pulled out the 25-22 win to go up one set to none. For the first time this postseason, Versailles lost a set as Upper Sandusky came out on top 25-23 in the second game to even the match at 1-1. There were seven ties and three lead changes in the second set with Upper Sandusky taking the lead for good at 20-19. Versailles rebounded in the third set to win 25-22. The third game was the most back-and-forth set of the day with eight ties and five lead changes with Versailles going up 13-12 and taking control down the stretch to go up two games to one. With momentum building, the fourth game was the biggest win for

Versailles as the Lady Tigers took the set 25-19 to close out the match. There were four ties and two lead changes in the set with the last tie coming at 6-6 as Versailles led throughout the rest of the game to win the match 3-1. “In all honesty, I just think we faced a better team today,” Upper Sandusky coach Matthew McConnaughey said. “We just could not get our block where we needed it to, and it made it hard for Jenna to play defense when the block is not there. They just move the ball too well. It’s pin to pin. It’s all the way at the right side or all the way out to the left, and they were very scrappy, not a lot of weaknesses we could exploit.” Versailles had a 60 percent attacking percentage to Upper Sandusky’s 54 percent in the match. The Lady Tigers had a 63 percent attacking percentage or better in all but the second set, when they had a 51 percent attacking percentage. Lauren Bruns led Versailles with 21 kills on Friday while Amanda Winner added 20. Rachel Kremer had 52 assists and five aces. Brett Bey and Christa Puthoff both had three block assists. Versailles will play Gates Mills Gilmour Academy, who beat West Lafayette Ridgewood in the other Division III semifinal 25-17, 25-6, 25-16, for the state championship at 3 p.m. Saturday at the Nutter Center. Versailles is seeking its first state championship in volleyball. “We want it,” Winner said. “We’ve been saying it for the past three years, and finally this year we have an opportunity to take it. So we’re going to do everything we can to get it.”

Johnson on pole, sets track record AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson, his eyes squarely on a sixth NASCAR championship, set the tone for what could be yet another dominating weekend in the desert by winning the pole at Phoenix International Raceway. He did it with a track record. The five-time NASCAR champion turned a lap of 139.222 mph in his Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet on Friday to break the mark of 138.766 set by Kyle Busch last November. “Track records are awesome,” Johnson said after Friday’s qualifying session. “I don’t qualify on pole all that often, so I take great pride in them, especially track records. Very cool to do, and clearly a great time in the season and a great time in the Chase.” Matt Kenseth, who trails Johnson by seven points in the standings, will start 14th Sunday in his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota. He knows he has a lot of work ahead of him this weekend in making his car better, and then trying to catch Johnson on Sunday. “This track in the spring was extremely hard to pass at, probably one of the toughest tracks that we go to and I don’t know if it will be any better or not this time,” Kenseth said. “Pit strategy was all basically the same the last time we were here. So, unless you have cautions fall funny, I don’t know if you’ll be able to do it on pit strategy. I think you’re going to have to have a good balance, good speed, you have to be able to pass, have to have good pit stops, all these things. “I don’t feel it’s a track where you’re going to get a whole bunch of free ones from a strategy call. I think you’re going to have to be good all day.” Denny Hamlin qualified second with a lap at 139.023 for JGR, but he went out much later in Friday’s session than teammate Kenseth. Joey Logano qualified third in a Penske Racing Ford, and Kyle Busch was

fourth as both of Kenseth’s teammates out-qualified the title contender. Both Hamlin and Logano marveled at Johnson’s performance. “He’s been in kill mode for a while,” Logano said. “When they are running for that championship, they find that extra notch that a lot of other teams can’t find.” Johnson is coming off a dominating performance last week at Texas, where he led 255 of the 334 laps to win his sixth race of the season and break a tie with Kenseth in the standings. “Last week, I ran second to him for a while and just to see the speed in his car — and then he unloads today and you watch in practice how fast his car was,” Logano said. “He’s got that next notch and he’s going really fast right now.” Hamlin, who lost the title to Johnson in 2010, said it was inevitable for Johnson to hit his stride. “Everyone in the garage knew they could turn it up at will, and this is typically the time of the year that they start doing that, especially when they are in championship contention,” Hamlin said, adding that Johnson would have to have an off day for Kenseth to have a shot at winning the title. “And when I say ‘off,’ he’s going to have to finish fifth or sixth to give Matt an honest shot at beating him,” Hamlin said. “You already know this weekend is pretty much crossed off as being an off weekend.” Johnson said he doesn’t think the No. 48 team is doing anything different. “It’s hard when you are inside of it, inside the car, inside the team, to know what the difference is, because we are doing the same stuff,” Johnson said. “But when I look around at what other champions do to do win, they always find a way to find a little more. Somehow we are doing that, yes, I recognize that, but it’s not a concerted effort. It’s not something we are doing any differently. We are trying to rise up to the pace of (Kenseth) and beat him.”

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Sunday, Nov. 10, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Delays with inheritances, insurance matters and shared property will diminish now because today Mercury goes direct after having been retrograde for the last month. Welcome news indeed. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Many of you have encountered expartners in the last month. Hopefully, this offered you a chance to settle unfinished business. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You can breathe a sigh of relief because the delays, silly errors and confused communications at work will diminish in the future. The wicked witch is dead. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Many of you ran into old flames or dealt with past issues regarding children, the arts or sports events. This focus on the past is over. It's time to go forward. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Family reunions and trips down memory lane, especially handling photographs and possessions at home, are behind you now. Start to make future plans for home and family. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You will be relieved to know that this past month of transportation delays and confused communication is over. Now life will return to its normal level of minor errors. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Although you had an opportunity to wrap up financial matters in the past month, now it's time to go forward with new approaches to make money. Any ideas? SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Mercury retrograde in your sign for the past several few weeks is why you felt you were losing it making mistakes, forgetting things and misplacing items. This pernicious influence is over. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Behind the scenes efforts, especially with research, paid off. Now you can go forward with plans to break ground in new territory. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Although you have been reviewing your goals and discussing old friends in the past several weeks, now it's time to swing 180 degrees and look to your future. What are your new dreams? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) It's time to give thought to your life direction in general. Where do you want to be five years from now? What you have to do today to get there? PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Although travel plans might have been delayed recently, now the brakes are off. Feel free to explore distant lands as well as new ideas regarding publishing, the media, medicine and the law. YOU BORN TODAY Your strength and confidence are sexy and attractive to others. However, personally, you are on a quest to transform your life because you want become a better person. You are quick to learn and sometimes choose isolation to do this. This year something you've been involved with for about nine years will and end or diminish in order to make room for something new.

Your Horoscope

Francis Drake

What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Monday, Nov. 11, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a poor day to make decisions about shared property, mortgages, loans and financial matters. Because your idealism is aroused, this could affect your practical judgment. Wait a week. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Discussions with partners and close friends will be pleasant and easygoing today. Quite likely, you will look for what might be possible in a perfect world. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Feelings of sympathy for co-workers and others will color your judgment today. Remember that true generosity is giving what is needed. Be sensible. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a wonderful day for artists, lovers, people involved in sports and those who work with

children. You feel tenderhearted, creative and imaginative. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Discussions with a family member might be important because someone needs to confide in you. Perhaps this person needs a sympathetic listener or some caring advice. Or you might. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Don’t worry if you spend a lot of time daydreaming or lost in flights of fantasy today. It’s just that kind of day. No biggie. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your financial ideas might be a bit fantastic today, perhaps beyond being practical. Be careful when shopping, because you might be tempted to buy expensive, luxurious items you can’t afford. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Discussions with others will be sensitive and meaningful today, because you’re willing to listen to all the subtle nuances that are present in the conversation. If someone is upset, you

Monthly drawing winners announced Winners were recently announced for the D ow n t ow n S i d n e y. c o m monthly drawing. Loretta Elsass, of Sidney, is the winner of the $20 gift certificate from the Ivy Garland. Pam Wagner, of Sidney, is the winner of a $20 gift certificate from the Spot Restaurant. Pattie Stearly, of Fort Loramie, is the winner of a $20 gift certificate from Ron & Nita’s. Tracey Schaffner, of Sidney, is the winner of the $20 gift certificate from

Wiford Jewelers. This month’s drawing is currently underway and features gift certificates from the following downtown Sidney businesses: The Ivy Garland, Ron and Nita’s, Wiford Jewelers, and the Spot Restaurant. Visitors can register now on the downtown Sidney website at www. DowntownSidney.com. The local website is jointly sponsored by Downtown Sidney and the Downtown Business Association.

Lucky Barrel drawing announced Amy Breinich, director of the Downtown Business Association of Sidney, has announced the results of the Lucky Barrel drawing. “The name drawn for October’s Lucky Barrel was Becky Fair. Unfortunately, Becky did not visit 2nd Hand Thoughts and sign the book. So, the money pot grows,” Breinich said. People can find the Lucky Barrel at The Ivy Garland, 103 E. Court St., in November. The barrel itself will be undergoing some weather-

will know it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your concern for someone might cause you to put his or her interest before your own today. Just make sure you know what you’re doing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Because you are more sensitive to the subtleties of others, you’ll be sympathetic to their needs. You might enjoy discussions about mystical or spiritual subjects today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Avoid practical conversations with bosses, parents and VIPs, because you might sound a bit airy-fairy to them. You would rather talk about dreams, ideals and escaping reality. They might not want to hear this. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

Discussions about philosophy, spirituality and belief systems will appeal to you today. You’ll be particularly sympathetic to exotic views of distant lands. Don’t hesitate to explore ideas as well as see beautiful surroundings. YOU BORN TODAY Beneath your bright, friendly exterior, you are intense and strive to be in control of your environment. When you want something, you know how to seduce in order to get your way. In part, you’re successful because you are attractive and energetic, so who can resist you? This year is the beginning of a fresh, exciting new cycle. Open any door! Birthdate of: Stanley Tucci, actor/author; Calista Flockhart, actress; Christa B. Allen, actress

Storage Express purchases Sidney properties Nancy S. McAlpin Storage Express, a Bloomington, Ind.-based company, has purchased three storage facilities in Sidney. The properties were purchased from Lock-ItUp Storage. The transaction presents Sidney and adjacent communities with a total of 525 units that do not require long-term contracts. Storage Express has 81 sites in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. President and chief executive officer is Jefferson Shreve and the company markets itself as self-storage specialists. According to Janna Jackson of the company’s marketing department in Louisville, the main goal of the company is to “provide quality and convenient self-storage to the Sidney community.” The company seeks to appeal to “neighbors, businesses and any-

objects. A car can be stored in the larger units. The units can be identified by their signature blue and white paint, the company colors. They also have professional pest control. Properties have been fenced and paved, and video cameras have been added for security. More enhancements are planned for the future. The West Michigan Street facility presents a small, heated glass building at the entrance — a 24-hour automated rental center. This offers 24-hour payment ability, leasing information, and the ability to talk to a live customerservice representative via computer. After a customer enters an assigned pin number, the electric fence opens into the large parking lot. The company can track who is in the facility and how long they stay. Storage Express reccommends using a disc lock for the best security on a unit. The disc lock has a very short shackle and is reportedly the best theft deterrent.

body with a storage need,” Jackson explained. Storage Express owns sites in Findlay and Delaware, Ohio, and is looking to expand. Jackson explained that “location is a big part of this industry.” The concept of no longterm contracts reportedly appeals to people in a transition period of their lives. Buying and selling a home can be enhanced by using short-term storage for unnecessary furniture. The stress of upcoming holiday preparation can be reduced

by storing household clutter. Death and divorce may develop a need for storage of items on a short-term basis. The three properties in Sidney are located off Vandemark Road; 999 Riverside Drive; and 2471 W. Michigan St. They offer a variety of units ranging in size from 5-by-10 feet to 10-by-30 feet. The dimensions are relative to a bathroom or a garage. The units are metal-lined, have concrete floors and high ceilings in which to store taller
