SIDNEY POLICE Officer Rodney Robbins (left) stands with his police dog Sid as Sidney police chief Kevin Gessler recognizes the retirement of Sid during a Sidney city council meeting Monday.

Sid retires from police department A four-legged officer of the Sidney Police Department has retired. During Monday night’s Sidney City Council meeting, Police Chief Kevin Gessler announced the retirement of Sid, the former K-9 partner of Officer Rodney Robbins. “Although he had little training when he was imported from Slovakia, Robbins worked with him and he began working the streets of Sidney in 2005,” Gessler said. “Sid and Officer Robbins have been extremely successful over the years,” the chief continued, referring to the recent Gas America armed robbery in which the dog tracked and apprehended the armed subject. “He has also had numerous criminal apprehensions resulting from vehicle pursuits and

searches after burglaries occurred.” Gessler said Sid has alerted officers to the presence of narcotics inside vehicles as well as for outside agencies and in schools. He said the most memorable search was done for Ohio Highway Patrol troopers on Interstate 75 in which he indicated on the truck of a vehicle that held a pound of marijuana and approximately 800 ecstasy tablets. The chief said although the dog is still healthy — he is 9 years old — the demands of police work are starting to be too much. “He will be very comfortable in retirement with Robbins and his family who will take ownership,” said Gessler. “We are grateful for his service and hope he will enjoy the retirement he has earned.”

Christmas dinner planned for Dec. 8 To continue a long tradition of festivities and fellowship, the Community Christmas Dinner Committee has invited all of the people of Shelby County to this year’s dinner, Dec. 8 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Shelby County Fairgrounds Civil Defense Building, located on the south side of the Shelby County Fairgrounds.

$62.4M appropriations ordinance introduced BY TOM BAFRNET tbarnett@sdnccg.com Sidney City Council Monday night introduced seven ordinances including one appropriating $62.4 million for the city’s 2013 expenditures. Total appropriations, excluding interfund transactions and agency funds, are 15 percent more than 2012 appropriations. The capital outlay portion of the budget is 55.9 percent more than 2012, largely due to capital improvements

planned for the wastewater treatment plant and sewer collection system Other proposed ordinances amend the city’s purchasing policies; the utility ordinance; water, sewer, stormwater and solid waste collection rates; personnel policies; adopting pay table schedules and amended utility service deposits. Proposed purchasing policy amendments adopt preferred language, one also increasing the threshold for formal bidding from $25,000 to $50,000 to conform to a state law change.

Proposed utility ordinance amendments are needed to authorize activities leading to the removal of Inflow and Infiltration from private property. In addition, the changes clarify differentiation between residential and industrial/commercial users. The utility and sanitation rate ordinance provides a 14 percent increase for water and sewer, 3 percent for stormwater and 5.3 percent for curbside refuse pickup. A fee of $21.86 per month would See ORDINANCE/Page 16A

LESCOWITCH Miami Ave., originally was charged with one count of theft in office, a felony of the fourth degree. According to court records, the prosecution agreed to amend the charge to petty theft, a first-degree misdemeanor, in exchange for Lescowitch’s guilty plea. Lescowitch also agreed to pay restitution of $2,000. A sentencing date has not been set. The maximum sentence for a first-degree misdemeanor is 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. Lescowitch is represented by William R.

County Sheriff ’s Office had received allegations of missing funds and opened an investigation. Sheriff John Lenhart said at the time of the indictments that an estimated “$18,485.92 was misappropriated, used for personal purposes or questionable purchases not associated with the humane society.” Humane society personnel were accused of making purchases for personal purposes under the nonprofit status, thereby avoiding the paying of sales taxes. Lescowitch had earlier pleaded not guilty to the felony charge. At the time of his indictment, he denied stealing any money. He said he authorized Bray to borrow money for humane society-related expenses and the money was paid back. Bray also pleaded guilty earlier this month, reportedly to a reduced misdemeanor charge. Her case is set for sentencing Dec. 27. From Page 1

BY WILL E SANDERS Civitas Media wsanders@dailycall.com TROY — It took 20 corrections officers and deputies to quell a small inmate riot at the Miami County Jail, 201 W. Main St., early Sunday morning after five men became upset regarding sleeping arrangements of a bunk bed. The five inmates were all charged with causing a riot, a first-degree misdemeanor, and they have been identified as: Todd Steele, 18, of Piqua; Aaron J. Reynolds, 19, of Piqua; Kody A. Francis, 18, of Troy; Chase R. Underwood, 19, of Piqua; and Julio C. Deleon, 19, of Troy. All five men were arraigned in municipal court this week and each had their bonds increased, most of them by $10,000, for their new criminal charge. The inmates were housed inside of cell block 305 and were told one of the inmates would need to move from the bottom bunk to a top bunk due to another inmate suffering from a medical condition, according to the sheriff’s report.

TROY — A Piqua man will be spending time behind bars for a crime he committed behind the wheel. Jason M. Moore, 28, was handed a oneyear prison sentence during a hearing in common pleas court Monday after he Moore pleaded no contest to using his car as a battering ram in April to cause serious harm to another motorist in a bout of road rage. Moore entered a no contest plea to one felony count of aggravated assault, a fourth-degree felony, during a court hearing last month in a plea agreement where prosecutors amended that charge from felonious assault, a second-degree felony. On the evening of April 19, Moore and another motorist, Dusty Hogston, then 43, of Piqua, were traveling southbound along the North Main Street Bridge when Moore cut off Hogston, who was on a mo-

cerned about.” The bill proposed banning abortions after the first fetal heartbeat is detected, as early as six weeks into pregnancy. It had fiercely divided Ohio’s anti-abortion community, while energizing abortion rights proponents who protested against it. Backers hoped the stringent nature of the bill would provoke a legal challenge with the potential to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion up until viability, usually at 22 to 24 weeks.

case argued the state constitution asks the mapdrawing board to consider minimizing county, township, city and precinct splits but sets no absolute rule. The court ruled that opponents of the maps didn’t present convincing evidence the Republicancontrolled apportionment board manipulated the districts for GOP political gain. “The role of a supreme court in considering constitutional challenges to an apportionment plan is restricted to determining whether relators have met their burden to prove that the plan adopted by the board is unconstitutional beyond a reasonable doubt,” Justice Terrence O’Donnell wrote for the majority. In his dissent, Justice Paul Pfeifer said the Constitution does not set the

stringent proof standard perceived by the majority. “In order to justify its finding of constitutionality, the majority opinion expresses two conclusions of questionable legitimacy; these anchors of the majority opinion fail the tests of logic and fairness,” he wrote. “First the majority opinion erects a nearly insurmountable barrier to a successful constitutional challenge by assigning to the board’s actions a blanket presumption of constitutionality and requiring proof beyond a reasonable doubt to establish that the plan fails to meet all constitutional requirements. Pfeifer went on, “Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is typically necessary only in criminal cases. Such a high burden of proof in the current constitutional matter

turns this court into a rubber stamp, not the guardian of the constitution that it is designed to be.” O’Donnell was joined in the majority by justices Judith Ann Lanzinger, Robert Cupp and John Willamowski, sitting in for Evelyn Lundberg Stratton, who had recused herself for unstated reasons. Pfiefer, Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor, and Justice Yvette McGee Brown, the court’s only Democrat, dissented. O’Connor signed both Pfeifer’s and McGee Brown’s dissenting opinions.

den, the majority cited limits in the court’s ability to judge legislative maps. “This court does not sit as a super apportionment board to determine whether a plan presented by the relators is better than the plan adopted by the board,” O’Donnell wrote. “Instead, we determine whether the board acted within the broad discretion conferred upon it by the provisions of (the Constitution) when it adopted its plan.” Ohio, like other states, redraws its congressional and legislative maps once every decade to reflect population shift records in the U.S. Census.

COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court let stand a newly drawn state legislative map Tuesday in a defeat for Democrats. In a 4-3 ruling, the divided high court upheld the map approved last year on grounds that Ohio’s Constitution does not require political neutrality in the process. Democrats, who brought the challenge on behalf of a group of voters, had argued the fivemember Ohio Apportionment Board intentionally sought political advantage with the maps as prohibited in the constitution, in a maneuver known as gerrymandering. Republicans in the

Senate puts end to ‘heartbeat’ bill COLUMBUS (AP) — The leader of the Ohio Senate put a stop Tuesday to a bill that would have imposed the most stringent restriction on abortions in the nation. The chamber doesn’t plan to vote on the socalled “heartbeat bill” before the end of the legislative session next month, Republican Senate President Tom Niehaus said, citing concerns the resulting law might have been found to be unconstitutional. “I want to continue our focus on jobs and the economy,” Niehaus told reporters. “That’s what people are con-

A short time later the inmates were observed sticking blankets in the toilet and repeatedly flushing the toilet, which flooded the cell block and the hallway. Other inmates threw soap on the wet floor “to make the floor exceptionally slick and hard to walk on,” said Lt. David Norman, jail administrator. The inmates refused to stop and threatened corrections officers with bodily harm if they entered. Some inmates used racial slurs directed at certain corrections officers, who had to call road deputies in from patrols to end the small riot, reports state. In his narrative of the incident Norman added that the five inmates began “yelling at the adjacent cell block, 304, and imploring them to join in with them and cause more problems.” No others joined in. Authorities were able to eventually end the uprising and at one point had to shut off the water to the entire jail. Each inmate received a 10day loss of privileges and were given the violations of interrupting jail activities and attempting to start a riot.

COLUMBUS — State Rep. Jim Buchy, RGreenville, on Tuesday w a s elected by t h e H o u s e Republican Caucus to join H o u s e leaderas ship assistant Buchy majority whip for the 130th General Assembly beginning in January. Buchy previously served as assistant majority whip when he was a member of the Ohio House in the late 1990s. The whip and his assistant gauge support for legislation and policy within the House. Buchy, president and CEO of Buchy Food Service in Greenville, currently represents the 77th Ohio House District which includes Mercer and Preble counties as well as portions of Darke County. As newly-elected representative of the 84th District created by redistricting, Buchy will represent all of Mercer County and portions of Shelby, Auglaize and Darke counties. “I’m honored to have been elected by my fellow representatives to serve the House in this capacity,” Buchy said. “I’m prepared to work for the good of all Ohioans and to uphold the values and traditions of this fine institution.” In addition to his new leadership role, he will continue to serve as a member of his House committees and serve his Western Ohio constituents. His focus on agriculture and small business will continue to guide his efforts to create more jobs in the district.

torcycle, before the two stopped at the intersection of North Main Street and Riverside Drive. A verbal altercation then turned physical and the two men traded punches before Moore struck Hogston with his car, a 1997 Eagle Talon, and fled the scene, according to police reports. Moore was apprehended the next day on a police tip and his vehicle was later recovered from a garage in the 800 block of South Miami Avenue in Sidney. Hogston was airlifted to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton and later recovered from his injuries. Court documents show that Moore has been cited for numerous traffic citations dating back to 2004, including several violations for seat belts, child restraints, having an expired license, running a red light, use of unauthorized plates, fictitious plates, expired plates, speeding, operating a vehicle without a valid license and amplification. He faced between six to 18 months in prison. However, Moore’s year prison sentence will run consecutively to an unrelated criminal conviction in Montgomery County and another for his violation of parole dating back to a case in 2011.

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Wednesday, Nov. 28, the 333rd day of 2012. There are 33 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 28, 1942, nearly 500 people died in a fire that destroyed the Cocoanut Grove nightclub in Boston. On this date: ■ In 1520, Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan reached the Pacific Ocean after passing through the South American strait that now bears his name. ■ In 1861, the Confederate Congress admitted Missouri as the 12th state of the Confederacy after Missouri’s disputed secession from the Union. ■ In 1885, at the end of the Third Anglo-Burmese War, British troops occupied Mandalay. ■ In 1905, Sinn Fein was founded in Dublin. ■ In 1912, Albania proclaimed its independence from the Ottoman Empire. ■ In 1922, Captain Cyril Turner of the Royal Air Force gave the first public skywriting exhibition, spelling out, “Hello USA. Call Vanderbilt 7200” over New York’s Times Square; about 47,000 calls in less than three hours resulted. ■ In 1958, Chad, Gabon and Middle Congo became autonomous republics within the French community. ■ In 1961, President John F. Kennedy dedicated the original permanent headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency in Langley, Va. Ernie Davis of Syracuse University became the first AfricanAmerican to be named winner of the Heisman Trophy. ■ In 1962, Princess Wilhelmina, the onetime Queen of the Netherlands, died at age 82. ■ In 1964, the United States launched the space probe Mariner 4 on a course to Mars. ■ In 1979, an Air New Zealand DC-10 en route to the South Pole crashed into a mountain in Antarctica, killing all 257 people aboard. ■ In 1987, a South African Airways Boeing 747 crashed into the Indian Ocean with the loss of all 159 people aboard. Ten years ago: In twin attacks in Kenya, three suicide bombers killed 14 people at an Israeli-owned hotel, while at least two missiles were fired at — but missed — an Israeli jetliner taking off from Mombasa airport.

Piano goes up for sale NEW YORK (AP) — The piano used for the song “As Times Goes By” in the classic 1942 film “Casablanca” is getting another turn at fame. The instrument is going up for sale at Sotheby’s in New York on Dec. 14, and the auction house estimates it’ll fetch up to $1.2 million. It’s being offered by a Japanese collector on the film’s 70th anniversary. The collector purchased the movie prop at a Sotheby’s auction in 1988 for $154,000. Humphrey Bogart played Rick Blaine in the Oscar-winning World War II love story, opposite Ingrid Bergman’s character, Ilsa Lund. In a famous flashback scene, Rick and Ilsa lean on the piano at a Paris bistro. Sam, played by Dooley Wilson, plays and sings. They toast as Rick says: “Here’s looking at you, kid.”

Powerball jackpot hits $500M DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The historic Powerball jackpot boosted to $500 million on Tuesday was all part of a plan lottery officials put in place early this year to build jackpots faster, drive sales and generate more money for states that run the game. Their plan appears to be working. Powerball tickets doubled in price in January to $2, and while the number of tickets sold initially dropped, sales revenue has increased by about 35 percent over 2011. Sales for Powerball reached a record $3.96 billion in fiscal 2012 and are expected to reach $5 billion this year, said Chuck Strutt, executive director of the Des Moines, Iowa-based MultiState Lottery Association, the group that runs the Powerball game. There has been no Powerball winner since Oct. 6, and the jackpot already has reached a record level for the game. It was first posted at $425 million but revised upward to $500 million when brisk sales increased the payout. It’s the second highest jackpot in lottery history, behind only the $656 million Mega Millions prize in March. It took nine weeks for the Mega Millions jackpot to get that high, before three winners — from Kansas, Illinois and Maryland — hit the right numbers, each collecting $218.6 million for their share of the split. With soaring jackpots come soaring sales, and for the states

ARIZONA LAST Stop shop employees sell Powerball tickets to customers who waited in line for more than an hour, Tuesday in White Hills, Ariz. There has been no Powerball winner since Oct. 6, and the jackpot already has reached a record level for the game ... $500 million. playing the game, that means higher revenue. “The purpose for the lottery is to generate revenue for the respective states and their beneficiary programs,” said Norm Lingle, chairman of the Powerball Game Group. “High jackpots certainly help the lottery achieve those goals.” Of the $2 cost of a Powerball ticket, $1 goes to the prizes and the other dollar is kept by the state lottery organization, said Lingle, who also is executive di-

rector of the South Dakota Lottery. After administrative overhead is paid, the remaining amount goes to that state’s beneficiary programs. Some states designate specific expenditures such as education, while others deposit the money in their general fund to help supplement tax revenue. The federal government keeps 25 percent of the jackpot for federal taxes. Most states withhold between 5 percent and 7 percent.

There’s no withholding in states without a state income tax such as Delaware, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, and Texas. A New York City winner would pay more than 12 percent since the state takes 8.97 percent and the city keeps 3.6 percent. Powerball and Mega Millions games are seeing jackpots grow faster and higher in part because the states that play both games agreed in 2010 to sell to one another.

Rice concession not enough WASHINGTON (AP) — U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice told lawmakers Tuesday that her initial explanation of the deadly Sept. 11 raid in Libya was wrong, but her concession failed to mollify three Republican senators who signaled they would try to block her possible nomination to be secretary of state. In a closed-door meeting that Rice requested, the ambassador answered questions from Sens. John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte about her much-maligned explanations about the cause of the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. She was joined

by acting CIA Director Michael Morell. “The talking points provided by the intelligence community, and the initial assessment upon which they were based, were incorrect in a key respect: There was no protest or demonstration in Benghazi,” Rice said in a statement after the meeting. “While we certainly wish that we had had perfect information just days after the terrorist attack, as is often the case the intelligence assessment has evolved.” Rice’s unusual visit to Capitol Hill — typically only nominees meet privately with lawmakers — reflects the Obama administration’s campaign for the current front-runner to replace Sec-

retary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton against some strenuous GOP opposition. “We are significantly troubled by many of the answers that we got and some that we didn’t get concerning evidence that was leading up to the attack on the consulate,” McCain told reporters after emerging from the hour-plus session that he described as candid. Said Graham: “Bottom line I’m more disturbed now than I was before that 16 September explanation.” He said in a later interview that Rice went “far beyond the flawed talking points” and should be held accountable. “I’m more troubled today,” said Ayotte, who argued that it was clear in the days after

the attack that it was terrorism and not a spontaneous demonstration prompted by an anti-Muslim video. The White House remained defiant in its support for Rice, arguing that she was relying on an assessment from the intelligence community and had no responsibility in compiling the information on the cause of the attack. It dismissed what it characterized as a fixation on her national television appearances five days after the raid. “The focus on, some might say, obsession on comments made on Sunday shows seems to me and to many, to be misplaced,” spokesman Jay Carney told reporters at a White House briefing.

Egypt mass protests Tick tock, tick tock challenge president Time running out to avoid ‘fiscal cliff’ CAIRO (AP) — The same chants used against Hosni Mubarak were turned against his successor Tuesday as more than 200,000 people packed Egypt’s Tahrir Square in the biggest challenge yet to Islamist President Mohammed Morsi. The massive, flag-waving throng protesting Morsi’s assertion of near-absolute powers rivaled some of the largest crowds that helped drive Mubarak from office last year. “The people want to bring down the regime!” and “erhal, erhal” — Arabic for “leave, leave” — rang out across the plaza, this time directed at Egypt’s first freely elected president. The protests were sparked by edicts Morsi issued last week that effectively neutralize the judiciary, the last branch of government he does not control. But they turned into a broader outpouring of anger against Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood, which opponents say have used election victories to monopolize power, squeeze out rivals and dictate a new, Islamist constitution, while doing little to solve Egypt’s mounting economic and security woes. Clashes broke out in several cities, with Morsi’s opponents attacking Brotherhood offices, setting fire to at least

one. Protesters and Brotherhood members pelted each other with stones and firebombs in the Nile Delta city of Mahalla el-Kobra, leaving at least 100 people injured. “Power has exposed the Brotherhood. We discovered their true face,” said Laila Salah, a housewife at the Tahrir protest who said she voted for Morsi in last summer’s presidential election. After Mubarak, she said, Egyptians would no longer accept being ruled by an autocrat. “It’s like a wife whose husband was beating her and then she divorces him and becomes free,” she said. “If she remarries she’ll never accept another day of abuse.” Gehad el-Haddad, a senior adviser to the Brotherhood and its political party, said Morsi would not back down on his edicts. “We are not rescinding the declaration,” he told The Associated Press. That sets the stage for a drawn-out battle that could throw the nation into greater turmoil. Protest organizers have called for another mass rally Friday. If the Brotherhood responds with demonstrations of its own, as some of its leaders have hinted, it would raise the prospect of greater violence after a series of clashes between the two camps in recent days.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans’ newfound willingness to consider tax increases to avert the “fiscal cliff” comes with a significant caveat: larger cuts than Democrats seem willing to consider to benefit programs like Medicare, Medicaid and the president’s health care overhaul. The disconnect on benefit programs, coupled with an impasse between Republicans and the White House over raising tax rates on upper-bracket earners, paints a bleak picture as the clock ticks toward a year-end fiscal debacle of automatic spending increases and harsh cuts to the Pentagon and domestic programs. Democrats emboldened by the election are moving in the opposite direction from the GOP on curbing spending, refusing to look at cuts that were on the bargaining table just last year. Those include any changes to Social Security, even though President Barack Obama was willing back then to consider cuts in future benefits through lower cost-of-living increases. Obama also considered raising the eligibility age for Medicare, an idea that most Democrats oppose. “I haven’t seen any suggestions on what they’re going to do on spending,” a frustrated Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said Tuesday. “There’s a certain cockiness that I’ve seen that is really astounding to me since we’re basically in the same position we were before.” Well, says Obama’s most powerful ally on Capitol Hill, the Democrats are willing to tackle spending on entitlement programs if Republicans agree to raise income tax rates on the wealthiest Americans — a nonstarter with Republicans still in control of the House. “We hope that they can agree to the tax revenue that we’re talking about, and that is rate increases, and as the president’s said on a number of occasions, we’ll be happy to deal with entitlements,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Tuesday. But Reid speaks only in the most general terms, wary of publicly embracing specific ideas like boosting Medicare premiums or raising the program’s eligibility age. At the White House, Obama met with a group of small business owners. Participants described the hour-long meeting as a listening session for Obama, with the business owners urging him to reach an agreement. “They had one message for the president, which is they need certainty. Please get this deal done as soon as possible,” said Small Business Administration head Karen Mills. “They very much want consumers out there knowing that they’re going to have money in their pockets to spend.”

Sidney student honored at Omega Psi Phi dinner BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@sdnccg.com

SIDNEY VICE Mayor Mardie Milligan (left) and Curtis Baylor (right), of Fairfax, Va., talk with Sidney Student of the Year Samantha Sharpe, 17, during the annual dinner of the Xi Iota Iota chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity at Edison Community College recently. Sharpe is the daughter of Kristin and Connie Sharpe, of Sidney. tenant colonel. He served with the Army engineers, but his favorite position, he told the Sidney Daily News, was as professor of military science, overseeing ROTC at Hampton University in Hampton, Va. Following his military career, Baylor did contract work for the national government for four years. He has been a financial adviser with Lincoln Financials in Vienna, Va., since 2001. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For 10 decades, Omega men from the local to the international level have stood at the forefront and been involved in every struggle for equality and respect, while also contributing to the betterment of all society,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Literally thousands of Omega men have risen to levels

of prominence and been honored in every field of human endeavor. As they climbed, they sought to be a friend and to lift others.â&#x20AC;? He discussed six challenges during his speech, saying that some of them have not changed much from 100 years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One is to deal with the fact that the black family and families in general are still at risk,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We must renew our commitment to providing black role models in the community. The educational system is in crisis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Far too many of our students are not finishing high school or going on to college.

PIQUA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sidney High School senior Samantha Sharpe, of Sidney, was named one of four Students of the Year by the Xi Iota Iota chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity during its 21st Achievement Week Celebration at Edison Community College Nov. 17. Sharpe, the daughter of Kristin and Connie Sharpe, was awarded two $1,000 savings bonds by the chapter. The event, which also celebrated the 101st anniversary of the fraternity, was attended by the mayors of each city, several school superintendents and other local dignitaries, as well as area fraternity members. Curtis A. Baylor, a fraternity member and financial adviser, was the guest speaker. He spoke about the need for fraternity members to rededicate themselves to the commitment they have to the fraternity and to making the community better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Omega Psi Phi has a 101-year history,â&#x20AC;? he told the assembly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In that time, we have initiated no less than 150,000 men into the organization and given millions of man-hours and millions of dollars â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in scholarships, services, grants and goods â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to people all over the world.â&#x20AC;?

although it is run strictly on donations. The purpose of this letter is to address a specific need — hay for the winter. This school is on a farm where the students do the work. The livestock and agriculture provides their food. Currently, they have less than 20 bales of hay. They estimate they need 220 bales for the winter. I believe Shelby County can supply that need. I’m asking for 125 families to donate two bales of hay at $5 a bale. That’s $10 per family for two bales of hay. I think there are a lot of families, at least 125, that can afford $10. This is a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate to your children the joy of giving at the onset of this Christmas season. There are several ways you can donate: Greatest: Take the bales of hay directly to Operation Rebirth and see for yourself the program,

meet the staff and students. Greater: Send your donation of $10 to Operation Rebirth marked “Hay” in memo. Great: Bring bales of hay to my home where Operation Rebirth will pick it up. Good: Send donation of $10 to my home — checks made out to “Operation Rebirth” with “Hay” in memo. There are several farms and businesses in Shelby County that sell hay. Prices vary, but Operation Rebirth tells me they can get hay for $5 a bale. We appreciate your generosity to Operation Rebirth and just know that you’ll be helping a very worthy organization that does so much good for the students and families they serve. God bless you and have a blessed Christmas season! Kathy Thompson 826 Taylor Drive

Only the law-abiding will follow signs sign put a damper on the entire thing. I assume the sign was there to illicit a false sense of security for the patrons and staff. I assume the management of Fricker’s believes that the presence of a sign will eliminate the possibility of gunfire in their establishment. It is funny, I saw many people leaving alone and in large groups that were clearly far too drunk to be behind the wheel of a car and yet there was not one sign forbidding them from driving. Think about it; if a sign can prevent a criminal from bringing in a weapon, then logically a sign could prevent a drunk from getting behind the wheel. I would wager there have been more incidents of

patrons leaving a restaurant and having an accident while intoxicated than there have been of patrons who are legally carrying concealed weapons causing trouble. I don’t, however, see a sign at the front door forbidding car keys. Please remember before anyone responds about guns and alcohol. It is a criminal offense for a licensed concealed carrier to consume any alcohol while they are armed. I am sure someone will respond, “How will you know who is armed?” Well that is the point — only the law-abiding will be inclined to follow the law ... or the signs.

SCARF notes community support

Peerless brings Christmas early to New Choices To the editor: Christmas came early for New Choices in the form of a donation of time and energy from Peerless Machinery Corp. Mike Gniazdowski, Rob Zielsdorf and Tony Cornett brought other staff from Peerless and a team from Noll-Fisher to make much-needed repairs at the shelter. Drains were repaired, window wells were repaired, windows were sealed, and a ceiling light was hung. The results were basement windows that once turned into fountains when it rained hard are instead now dry without a hint of a leak. The dimly lit office now has plenty of light for staff to function well. Oftentimes, individuals and companies think the only way to help a nonprofit is through dollar donations. Though money is certainly always greatly appreciated, the donation of time and energy to assist with much-needed repairs and projects can mean even more. On behalf of myself, my staff and our board of directors, we want to express appreciation to Peerless and commend them for their efforts in being involved in helping our community. We also want to offer a special recognition to Bob Parker of the United Way for helping facilitate the connection between New Choices and Peerless. The efforts of all concerned are appreciated more than you will ever know. Kathy Lindsey Executive Director New Choices Inc.

that we do care as a community about the abused and neglected animals of Shelby County. If it were not for the leadership and dedication of Sheriff Lenhart, Deputy Frey, the Ohio SPCA and all of our local volunteers, none of this could have happened. The Shelby County Animal Rescue Foundation (SCARF) is a newly founded 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the initiatives of the Shelby County Animal Shelter. The mission of SCARF is to raise funds to support the Shelby County Animal Shelter in safe adoptions, education and community outreach concerning abused and neglected animals, medical procedures, eliminating euthanasia of adoptable

animals, and maintaining best practices. The most significant need for SCARF over the next few weeks will be securing the financial donations to help with the veterinarian costs and transportation costs related to the rescued puppies. We are urging all individuals who are able and willing to donate to make checks payable to SCARF, P.O. Box 671, Sidney, OH 45365. Monthly financial reports are available to review.

Living in a giving community To the editor: It is wonderful to live and work in such a giving community. On behalf of the Shelby County Board of Developmental Disabilities, I’d like to express our appreciation to the following restaurants for donating to our United Way campaign “gift card giveaway” that occurred Nov. 9 to wrap up our campaign at the Shelby County Board of DD. I appreciated that I could have a conversation with the management at each of these establishments and they were willing to donate without question. We are grateful to Bob Evans, Buffalo Wild Wings, O’Charley’s, Wingers Sports Bar and Grill, Super Subby’s, Doña Cata, Subway on Wapakoneta Avenue, Culver’s and Fricker’s.

Council considers ground-leveling for Canal Park gazebo

ADULT VOLUNTEER Randy Hoehne assists team “Monkeys” with its next move during the FETCH program recently presented to the sixth-graders at Fort Loramie Elementary School. Students (l-r) on team “Monkeys” include Emma Wilt, Riley Middendorf, Kyla Holthaus, Mitchell Puthoff and Andrew Swob.

Students play game to learn financial management FORT LORAMIE — Lori Albers’ sixth grade math classes at Fort Loramie Elementary School learned to stay out of the financial “doghouse” when local financial professionals visited their classroom recently. Volunteers led the students in a competitive board game called FETCH, (Financial Education Teaches Children Healthy Habits). The board game is set in a dog park, where student teams manage the finances of owning a pet. With each turn, the teams use math skills and devise strategies to stay out of debt and put more money in their savings account, so they can afford the basics like a leash, collar and a bone for their fictional pet. “FETCH is a fun way to teach children the re-

lationship between smart spending and saving for their future goals,” said coordinator Sandy Hoehne. “It’s built on a simple concept, yet requires students to make decisions that have consequences they can understand as in real life. “The students quickly came to realize that building up and maintaining a rainy day fund is a good strategy, as you never know when an unexpected expense may come along and make a serious dent in your savings account.” The winning team for the first session was Team Oscar, comprised of students Seth Barga, Tori Barga, CJ Billing, Tommy Deakle and Jenna Barlage. The winning team for the second session was Team

Archie, comprised of Jake Ratermann, Charles Wray, Carter Mescher, Eli Rosengarten and Gavin Schulze. The Fort Loramie program was presented by school district residents Peggy Drees, Sandy Hoehne and Randy Hoehne. The morning program concluded with a pizza party lunch, sponsored by the Ohio CPA Foundation, Osgood State and Mutual Federal Savings banks.

More than 1,500 volunteers visited 484 classrooms this year, reaching more than 12,300 students across the state.

FORT LORAMIE — During their November meeting, village council members learned the German Heritage Days Committee has raised funds to build a gazebo in Canal Park. However, before construction begins, ground would need to be leveled and concrete replaced. Council discussed whether to do the work in-house or apply for a grant as a 2014 project. Council agreed to accept the bid of Doug

REAL

Gehret to farm the 10 acres of tillable land in Redskin Park. His bid was $325 per acre for three years. The street committee will meet with the finance committee Monday at 7:30 p.m. Along with street projects, a waterline on Elm Street will be considered. The Finance Committee is still working on capital outlay projects. Police Chief Steven

Cleveland, where prices Across the nation, fell 0.9 percent. prices increased in 18 of Monthly prices are not 20 cities over the 12- seasonally adjusted, so month period. In Phoenix, some of the declines may

signal the end of the summer buying period. David M. Blitzer, chairman of the Case-Shiller index, said that when adjusting for seasonal factors, only one city showed a decline in September versus two in August. “Despite the seasons, housing continues to improve,” Blitzer said. The S&P/Case-Shiller index covers roughly half of U.S. homes. It measures prices compared with those in January 2000 and creates a threemonth moving average. The September figures are the latest available. Steady increases in home prices have helped drive a modest recovery in the housing market. Rising prices encourage more potential buyers to

come off the sidelines and purchase homes. And more people may put their homes on the market as they gain confidence that they can sell at a good price. Higher home prices can also make homeowners feel wealthier and more likely to spend more. Consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of the U.S. economy. A big reason for the rebound is that the excess supply of homes that built up before the housing crisis has finally thinned out. The number of previously occupied homes available for sale has fallen to a 10-year low. The inventory of new homes is also near the lowest level since 1963.

Emerson celebrates milestone with donation to Upper Valley Career Center PIQUA — Representatives from Emerson Climate Technologies Inc. of Sidney visited the Upper Valley Career Center in Piqua Monday during the Board of Education meeting to present a $1,500 donation as part of the company’s celebration of its 100 millionth scroll compressor milestone and 25th anniversary of Copeland Scroll technology. “The Upper Valley Career Center Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning & Refrigeration program values our strong partnership with Emerson Climate Technologies and we are excited to help celebrate their milestone,” said Scott Naill, high school HVACR instructor for Upper Valley Career Center. “This contest provided an opportunity for all community members to feel a sense of pride in their community and brought together students, parents, staff, and school board members to promote the success of Emerson’s accomplishments.”

The donation comes at the conclusion of a hotly contested global Facebook promotion of painted Copeland Scroll compressors that saw nearly 135,000 total votes and more than 1,100 comments. The contest was designed to celebrate compressor technology and the people who make them. “This contest surpassed all of our expectations and really drew together our employees, our community and the local HVACR programs we support,” said Don Baird, plant manager of Sidney Scroll Operations for Emerson Climate Technologies. “I am very proud of this team and the work we do every day. I am glad we are able to support this program and these students. The HVACR industry needs smart, motivated young people like these to take on the challenges of this growing industry.” Each of the eight Copeland Scroll compressor manufacturing

facilities around the world turned one of their units into art by painting a compressor with a unique design reflecting the plant and local community. Plant employees and local artists from Sidney; Lebanon, Mo.; Natchitoches, La.; Suzhou, China; Rayong, Thailand; Cookstown, Northern Ireland; Reynosa, Mexico; and Welkenraedt, Belgium designed and painted each compressor. Emerson ushered in a new phase of energy efficiency for the HVACR industry with the launch of Copeland Scroll technology in 1987. By 1992, the company had produced 1 million Copeland Scroll compressors. Today, Emerson manufactures Copeland Scroll compressors in eight facilion three continents. ties Copeland Scroll compressors are used by all the major OEM air conditioning and refrigeration system providers in the U.S. as well as many others globally.

COLUMBUS — Senate Bill 193, which created a mandatory online registry for scrap metal and bulk merchandise container dealers, is now available on Ohio Homeland Security’s website https://ext.dps.state.oh.us/ScrapDealer/Pages/Public/Login.aspx. The online registry aims to create an infrastructure within the industry to crack down on scrap theft, thereby protecting Ohio’s infrastructure by focusing on the end point — the dealers and recycling facilities. Whether it is the theft of railroad spikes and rails or copper communication lines, scrap metal theft presents a significant threat to Ohio’s infrastructure. These types of thefts can create disruptions in communication services and dangers to the public. In addition to the online registry, the Department of Public Safety continues to offer training for both law enforcement officers and representatives from the scrap metal industry. The training provides a comprehensive overview of the bill. Attendees will also receive information on how and where to register, what penalties can result for failure to comply with the revised law, and ways to determine if someone may be attempting to scrap stolen property. For more information regarding the training dates and locations, visit http://homelandsecurity.ohio.gov/scrap_metal.stm If you “See Something, Say Something.” Contact Ohio Homeland Security at (877) OHS-INTEL or for emergencies, call 911.

VitaPeople with atrial fibril- min K fosters the prolation tend to form clots duction of those clotting

factors. If a person on Coumadin eats foods high in the vitamin, that person can overcome Coumadin’s action to prevent clots from forming. High vitamin K foods include broccoli, spinach, turnip greens, collards, Brussels sprouts and salad greens. Reasonable amounts are not forbidden; you simply have to be consistent in your daily use of those foods. Your blood test will show how thin the blood is and will tell you if you are eating too many vitamin K foods. Medicines other than Coumadin work well in preventing clot formation in people with atrial fibrillation. Pradaxa (dabigatran) is

one of those medicines. It’s more expensive than Coumadin. You don’t need to have your blood checked regularly, as you do when using Coumadin. No dietary restrictions are needed. I’m sure you’ve seen the advertisements from lawyers who are looking for incidences of serious bleeding stemming from the use of Pradaxa. It is a complication. No antidote exists for Pradaxa in a patient who’s bleeding. However, fresh frozen plasma appears to contain bleeding on an emergency basis. Another similar drug is Xarelto (rivaroxaban). Your doctor has to guide you in using either of these medicines.

The Lady Redskins go to 20 on the season and hand New Knoxville its first loss after the Lady Rangers won the Lima Bath Tip-Off Tournament over the weekend. The key for Loramie was a big first quarter which saw a 17-7 bulge when it was over. The Lady Rangers cut the lead to six by the half, but Loramie put it back to nine at 39-30 after three periods. The Lady Redskins then held off the visitors in the final period. Darian Rose had 15 points and Hallie Benanzer 12 for

Meyer wants angry Buckeyes next year COLUMBUS (AP) — The very last thing Urban Meyer wants from his second Ohio State team is for it to rest on the laurels of his first one. “If they’re not angry but complacent, this team is as average as dirt,” Meyer said Monday when discussing what he wants from his 2013 team. The Buckeyes ended their season prematurely on Saturday with a 26-21 victory over archrival Michigan, running the table in Meyer’s first season back in his home state and back in coaching after a one-year hiatus. Ohio State isn’t going anywhere in the postseason due to NCAA sanctions stemming from the tattoo scandal which rocked the program of deposed coach Jim Tressel. One thing Meyer will not abide in 2013 is a team that doesn’t have an ‘edge’ to it. That’s where this year’s bowl ban might just enter the conversation. “My concern here is complacency. We have to make sure that doesn’t take place,” he said. “We need an angry team next year. If we have to

We’re going to try team, if you don’t have a chip

on your shoulder, you’ll lose like that.” For emphasis, he snapped his fingers twice. Meyer has already met with his staff about how to light a fire under those returning from a surprising team that posted only the sixth perfect season in school history. Incredibly, it followed a year in which the Buckeyes were only 6-7, the most losses at the school in a season since ‘97 — 1897. Many of the players — those who have used up their eligibility and those with plenty of time left — look at the season just completed as a waystation more than a milestone. “It sets the standard pretty high,” departing wide receiver/tight end Jake Stoneburner said. “I don’t think anyone thought coach Meyer would come in and turn it around like he did. It’s crazy to think we went undefeated.” The Buckeyes lose at least six starters on defense and three on offense, plus punter Ben Buchanan. The major losses on offense are right tackle Reid Fragel

and Stoneburner. On defense, Ohio State must replace lineman John Simon and fullback/linebacker Zach Boren‚ — whom Meyer has called “the heart and soul of the team” — along with fellow linemen Garrett Goebel and Nathan Williams, linebacker Storm Klein, safety Orhian Johnson and cornerback Travis Howard. “We have almost the whole offense coming back,” linebacker Ryan Shazier said. “We’re looking at a lot of new guys on defense but we have a lot of guys who are rotating in so it’s not like we’re throwing in a new, fresh person in there.” Defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins and cornerback Bradley Roby will likely look into leaving a year early to go into the NFL draft. Meyer said he will counsel them if and when they come to him. Star quarterback Braxton Miller will likely be one of the Heisman Trophy front-runners next year as a junior. But he will also be challenged. See MEYER/Page 14

Media names OSU’s Miller to first team Coaches pick Martinez ahead of him PARK RIDGE, Ill. (AP) — Career touchdown leader Montee Ball of Wisconsin was selected the Big Ten’s top running back for the second straight year and was a first-team all-conference pick by both the coaches and media. The announcement Monday came two days after he became the NCAA’s all-time leader in touchdowns. He set the record with his 79th TD when he scored on a 17-yard run Saturday against Penn State. With 1,528 yards rushing and 18 touchdowns this season, it was hardly a surprise that the coaches and media both picked Ball. They also went with conference rushing leader Le’Veon Bell of Michigan State (1,648 yards), but they were split at quarterback. The media went with Ohio State’s Braxton Miller and the coaches choosing Nebraska’s Taylor Martinez. Miller got the top QB award. The coaches and

media also agreed on the top receivers, going with Penn State’s Allen Robinson and Wisconsin’s Jared Abbrederis at receiver. Rounding out the first team on offense for the coaches was Penn State’s Matt Stankiewitch at center; Michigan’s Patrick Omameh, Nebraska’s Spencer Long and Penn State’s John Urschel at guard; Michigan’s Taylor Lewan and Wisconsin’s Rick Wagner at tackle; Jacob Pedersen of Wisconsin at tight end; and Northwestern’s Jeff Budzien at kicker. On defense, the coaches went with Ohio State’s Johnathan Hankins and John Simon along with Jordan Hill of Penn State and Purdue’s Kawann Short on the line; Michigan State’s Max Bullough, Penn State’s Michael Mauti and Wisconsin’s Chris Borland at linebacker; Iowa’s Micah Hyde, Michigan State’s Johnny Adams and Darqueze Dennard along with Ohio State’s Bradley

Roby at defensive back; and Michigan State’s Mike Sadler at punter. Rounding out the first-team picks on offense by the media was Wisconsin’s Travis Frederick at center; Long and Ohio State’s Andrew Norwell at guard; Lewan and Wagner at tackle; Penn State’s Kyle Carter at tight end; and Nebraska’s Brett Maher at kicker. On defense, the media selected Nebraska’s Eric Martin, Simon, Hill and Short on the line; Ohio State’s Ryan Shazier, Mauti and Wisconsin’s Mike Taylor at linebacker; Hyde, NeDaimion braska’s Stafford; Ohio State’s Travis Howard and Roby at defensive back; and Michigan’s Will Hagerup at punter. Other individual award winners were Robinson (receiver), Pedersen (tight end), Lewan lineman), (offensive Simon (defensive lineman), Mauti (linebacker), Hyde (defensive back), Maher (kicker) and Hagerup (punter).

29,297 deer checked on first day of gun season Shelby County sees big increase over 2011 COLUMBUS — Hunters checked 29,297 white-tailed deer on Monday, the opening day of Ohio’s deer-gun season, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ (ODNR) Division of Wildlife.

MEYER “If he becomes the best (in fundamentals) in America I think he will be the best quarterback in America,” Meyer said. “It’ll be comical what he’ll do. But he’s not there yet.” With an exemplary crop of seniors leaving, that means it’s up to the rest to follow their lead. Adolphus Washington, a freshman who forced a key fumble in the Michigan game, will likely take over for Simon. “That was the hardest group of workers I’ve ever seen in my life,” he said of the seniors. “It’s a foundation to keep the tradition going, to just keep working hard.” Meyer, meanwhile, is energized by what his

He said he learned a lot from the faith and trust his players had in the coaches. Meyer also said he had changed from the workaholic coach who was obsessed with his team and all but forgot about his family during a season. Before taking the Ohio State job, his two college-age daughters, Nicole and Gigi, his son in middle-school, Nate, and his wife, Shelley, made him sign a contract on a pink sheet of

That would have never happened (before),” he said. He even has proof — two tickets he got for running stop lights to get to one of Nate’s games. “I was 15 minutes late and getting texts from my wife saying, ‘You’d better get here.’ So I went through a couple of red lights. That’s 50 bucks or whatever it is,” he said with a laugh. “Great story, isn’t it?”

Bucks face Duke tonight COLUMBUS (AP) — Thad Matta jokes that he has a secret weapon going into No. 4 Ohio State’s ACC/Big Ten Challenge showdown on Wednesday night at No. 2 Duke. Greg Paulus, in his second year as the Buckeyes’ video coordinator, was one of the Blue Devils’ patented scrappy point guards from 200609. He’s diagrammed where all the dead spots are on the floor at legendary Cameron Indoor Stadium. “He’s got it all mapped out,” Matta said, trying to hold back a grin. “There’s a big chart with pins stuck in it.” Instead of the nuances of the old gym, the Buckeyes are concerned more with how they play and how that measures up against the mighty Blue Devils in a key game for both teams. To get ready for the trip — and for a date with Cameron Indoor’s famously loud and boisterous students —Matta had loud crowd noise blaring during practice this week. That’s about the only concession the Buckeyes have made to the game beyond a series of hard practices. Hanging over the matchup is the specter of last year’s meeting between the teams. When No. 3 Duke played at second-ranked Ohio State, the Buckeyes couldn’t do anything

OHIO STATE coach Thad Matta argues a call during an exhibition game in Columbus on Oct. 30. Matta takes his Buckeyes up against Duke tonight. wrong and the Blue Devils could do nothing right. Ohio State scored the first 11 points, led by 19 at the half and was on top by as many as 25 in what ended up as an 8563 landslide. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said his team was tired and overwhelmed. “Sometimes you just get your butt kicked,” Krzyzewski said after the blowout. “We were getting our butt kicked. I’ve had my butt kicked before. We’ve kicked some butt. Tonight my

butt’s sore.” As forgettable as that night was for the Blue Devils, it became a constant reminder to the Buckeyes (4-0). Throughout a 31-8 season that took them all the way to the Final Four, when things got tough they would fall back on what they did against Duke. “I wouldn’t say that game was easy,” guard Lenzelle Smith Jr. said. “I just think it was a defining moment for our team. Coach (Matta) talks all the time about

five guys being connected. It doesn’t matter what team we would have played that game. I don’t think anybody could have beaten us we were so connected. No one cared about anything other than winning that basketball game. “Everybody had a job to do and everybody was focused on their job only.” course, Ohio Of State’s players have played in a lot of difficult places, from Allen Fieldhouse in Kansas to Michigan State’s Breslin Center and dozens of others. But a good performance at Cameron Indoor still counts for a lot. “We have a lot of guys like Lenzelle, myself, Deshaun (Thomas) and Evan Ravenel who have been in (difficult) situations and understand what it’s like. Some of the younger guys have been there but haven’t experienced playing in it,” point guard Aaron Craft said. “We need to solidify ourselves as a basketball team, solidify our identity and understand as crazy as it’s going to be down there — we’re going to play in some crazy atmospheres this year — it is still a basketball game. It’s going to come down to execution and what we have practiced up to this point. Hopefully we can have enough mental toughness to do it.”

IN BRIEF

Tulane joining Big East BY ASSOCIATED PRESS Tulane is joining the Big East as a full member in 2014. East Carolina will also join the rebuilding Big East for football only in 2014, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Tuesday because neither the conference nor the school was prepared to make an official announcement. East Carolina, located in Greenville, N.C., has a news conference scheduled for 5 p.m. Tulane and East Carolina currently play in Conference USA. They will become the fifth and sixth C-USA schools to join the rebuilding Big East in the last two years. Rutgers announced last week that it would leave the Big East for the Big Ten.

Phils’ Ruiz suspended PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Add catcher to the Philadelphia Phillies' needs this offseason. All-Star Carlos Ruiz was suspended Tuesday for the first 25 games of next season following a positive test for an amphetamine. The 33-year-old catcher had a career year in 2012, hitting .325 with 16 homers and 68 RBIs in 114 games. “I am sincerely regretful for my mistake in taking a prohibited stimulant,” Ruiz said in a statement issued Ruiz by the Major League Baseball Players Association. “I apologize to my teammates, the Phillies organization and the Philadelphia fans.”

Marvin Miller dead at 95 NEW YORK (AP) — Marvin Miller was a labor economist who never played a day of organized baseball. He preferred tennis. Yet he transformed the national pastime as surely as Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, television and night games. Miller, the union boss who won free agency for baseball players in 1975, ushering in an era of multimillion-dollar contracts and athletes who switch teams at the drop of a batting helmet, died Tuesday at 95. He had been diMiller agnosed with liver cancer in August. “I think he's the most important baseball figure of the last 50 years,” former baseball Commissioner Fay Vincent said. “He changed not just the sport but the business of the sport permanently, and he truly emancipated the baseball player — and in the process all professional athletes. Prior to his time, they had few rights. At the moment, they control the games.”

Stoops named at Kentucky LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky has hired Florida State defensive coordinator Mark Stoops as the Wildcats' football coach. Stoops replaces Joker Phillips, who was fired on Nov. 4. Phillips went 13-24 in three seasons at Kentucky and the Wildcats were 0-8 in the Southeastern Conference this year. Stoops becomes the third brother in college football's famed coaching family to lead his own program. Older brother Bob Stoops is the head coach at Oklahoma and Mike Stoops is the Sooners' defensive coordinator.

plan to open a retail consignment store at 405 1/2 Poplar and a community center is being planned on the vacant lot at 329 Poplar. The appropriations ordinance decreases 2012 expenditures by $2,373,825, including $2,330,000 from the airport improvement fund. Council also adopted the following resolutions dealing with items recommended by the planning commission: • A replat of one parcel to create one new lot on the north side of Russell Road near Sixth Avenue for the Ricsten Family and Purvis Limited Partnerships. • Replat of three lots to create two new lots on the west side of Hidden Ridge Drive north of Hoewisher Road in Plumb Ridge Phase Seven on behalf of Kenneth and Brenda Schlater and Julie Gilardi. A separate replat resolution combines several tracts to create one new lot. • Replat of six parcels to create two new lots on the south side of Michigan Street on behalf of Reliable Casting Corp. combining company parcels into a single lot and also creating a separate lot. Following Monday’s legislative session, council agreed to cancel its scheduled Monday workshop meeting and the Dec. 26 regular meeting. City Manager Mark Cundiff provided a list of 2013 work session topics generated by senior directors and asked council members to review the list and advise staff

which topics should be discussed and when. Renee DuLaney, assistant finance officer, led a discussion of House Bill 601 which proposes uniformity measures for municipal income tax collections. She said the bill, as currently written, threatens loss of local control (home rule) over municipal income tax collections “and staff has suggested its impact could result in a $95,000 per year revenue loss for the city.” DuLaney said other cites are opposing the measure, which if passed, would require local municipal income tax ordinances to be either repealed or amended. Council, on Jan.1 this year, adopted a resolution opposing the state of Ohio or any other third party central collection entity from seeking to take control of municipal tax collections. Members directed staff to return a resolution opposing HB 601 for a future council meeting.

• The Feast of the Immaculate Conception is Dec. 8. The vigil Mass will be Dec. 7 at 6 p.m. at St. Nicholas Catholic Church. On Dec. 8, the Mass will be at 8 a.m. at St. Louis Catholic Church. • For people who want to be an usher at St. Nicholas, there is a sign-up sheet at the entrances of the church. This for the year of 2013. People will have until Dec. 16 to sign up. • Casserole pans will be available to be picked up next weekend. These pans are for casseroles for St. Vincent de Paul Hotel in Dayton to help those who are less fortunate. Recipes are included. People should return casseroles Dec. 12 between 6 and 7 p.m. The location will be announced later.

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, Nov. 29, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a great day for romantic intimacy. You’ll enjoy flirting with others and having fun with your main squeeze. Gifts, goodies and favors from others might come your way. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a wonderful day to schmooze with everyone, especially partners and close friends. People are in a good mood, and everyone’s energy is high. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You can get a lot done at work today; however, avoid important decisions. Just stick to business as usual. Coworkers will be fun-loving and supportive. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a wonderful, playful, flirtatious day! Enjoy sports events, a movie, parties, long lunches, happy hour and fun times with children. (It’s a poor day to shop.) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You’ll love entertaining at home today. Invite the gang over for good food and drink. Discussions about real estate could be interesting; however, make no important decisions today. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Conversations with siblings and relatives will be friendly. People are in a good mood today. Short trips and lighthearted adventure will appeal; however, spend money on food and nothing else. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is not a good day for important financial decisions. It’s also not a good day to shop for anything except food. (You have to eat.) Resist the temptation! SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Enjoy activities with others today. You might want a night out on the town. This is a fun-loving, high-energy day, but not a day to spend money or make important decisions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You’ll enjoy solitude in beautiful surroundings today, because you need to catch your breath. It’s been a busy pace because people are so attracted to you now. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Friends and people in group situations are very responsive to you today. If you want to rally the troops, you will! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Some of you might develop a crush on your boss today. Don’t be surprised if someone asks for your creative input about something. Just say yes! PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Travel for pleasure will please you today. You’re eager for adventure and a chance to “get away from all this.” Enjoy good times with others, especially people from different backgrounds; however, avoid important decisions and major purchases. YOU BORN TODAY You often provoke others because you are passionate and interested in everything around you. You get a reaction out of people because you see yourself as a defender of the truth. You have a wonderful imagination, which, combined with your often-brazen confidence, leads to exciting situations! You are entering a new cycle in the coming year. Open any door!

Join Our Winning Team!

Alma Simindinger

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, who passed away 1 year ago. you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

1. Keep the tree in a cool, shady place like the garage or porch until ready to bring indoors to decorate. 2. Saw a thin disk (1/2 to 1 inch) off the trunk prior to placing the tree in a water-holding stand. 3. Make the cut perpendicular to the axis of the stem, NOT in a v-shape or at angles. The tree will “drink” its water through the layer between the bark and wood. If you shave the bark off of the trunk the tree will not be able to absorb water. 4. Place the tree in its water-holding stand within two hours after making the cut to the trunk. When a tree is cut it will naturally form a seal of sap over it’s stump to keep moisture in the tree. You must break the seal to allow the tree to once again “drink” the water needed to keep it fresh throughout the holidays. 5. Your stand must be able to hold enough water for the size of the tree. A good rule of thumb is a one-quart capacity for every inch of diameter of the trunk. 6. Water temperature makes no difference.
