• This week's iN75 is the holiday open house issue. Seewhat the downtown merchants in Tipp City have in store forYuletide Winter's Gathering, and find an open house, craftshow or holiday event near you. Also, REO Speedwagon isheaded to Troy. Inside

The city of Sidney on Nov.8is seeking voter approval of a0.25 percent levy in additionto the 1.5 percent tax on in-come currently being levied.The tax would be collected fora five year period beginningJan. 1, 2012.Funds generated by the

temporary tax will be re-stricted for only the construc-tion and reconstruction ofstreets alleys, bridges, curbsand gutters within the city.The city is responsible for

maintaining 103 miles ofstreets, although the budgetpermits resurfacing of only 2to 2.5 miles a year. Underpresent conditions it couldtake 40 to 50 years to resur-face 103 miles of street pave-ment.Levy promoters say cur-

rent economic conditions andspiraling costs of asphalt havemade it impossible for the cityto resurface an acceptableamount of streets each year.The cost of asphalt alone hasdoubled in the past seven oreight years.“To maintain the streets in

good condition, at least 5 to 7miles should be resurfacedeach year,” Bruce Dickman,chairman of PASS, the city’sballot issue committee, says.“Passage of the Nov. 8 issuewill permit the resurfacing of

an additional five to sevenmiles of streets over the nextfive years, a significant im-provement throughout thecity.”(Activities of Positive Ac-

tion for Sidney Streets arebeing funded with privatedonations). The group iscontacting residents by di-rect mail as well as door-to-door visitation.In response to taxpayer

questions, the committee re-ports $500,000 is currentlyavailable yearly for streetresurfacing - $400,000 fromincome tax receipts and about$100,000 from the county-levied $5 license fee. A city-levied $5 license fee generatesabout $100,000 for curb andgutter replacement.If approved by voters, the

tax issue would temporarilyincrease Sidney’s income taxrate to 1.75 percent over thenext five years. Piqua andTroy currently collect 1.75percent and Vandalia collects2.0 percent.

A look at Ohio’scrackdown onwild animals

COLUMBUS (AP) —Ohio Gov. John Kasichhas put in place tempo-rary measures to crackdown on private owner-ship of dangerous wildanimals while tougherlaws are written thisfall.

Some animal ownergroups welcomed theorder, though othershave blasted it as notgoing far enough. Critics,including the HumaneSociety of the UnitedStates, say they wouldhave preferred a ban onthe purchase and sale ofexotic animals. That’swhat Kasich’s Demo-cratic predecessor, for-mer Gov. Ted Strickland,ordered before leavingoffice in January.

Sparring over Ka-sich’s approach comesafter dozens of lions,bears and tigers wereshot to death by police inZanesville two weeksago after their ownerfreed them and thenkilled himself.

A look at some of thequestions and answerssurrounding the first-term Republican’s execu-tive order:

Q: Does the Kasich’sorder ban the ownershipof exotic animals, suchas tigers and lions?

A: No.Under his exec-utive order issued Oct.21, the state will workwith health departmentsand humane societies tobetter enforce existinglaws. Kasich has di-rected the state’s De-partment of Agricultureto try to temporarily haltauction sales of wild an-imals and to shut downunlicensed auctions. He’salso ordered a review ofthe existing state per-mits issued to peoplewho own wild animals.By contrast, Strickland’sorder called for a ban onthe future ownership,breeding, sale, trade orbarter of wild animals.Under his plan, Ohioanswho already owned ex-otic pets would have hadto register them with thestate, and they wouldhave been barred frombreeding or selling theirboas, chimpanzees,tigers and other wild an-imals.

Q: How long does anexecutive order last?

A: That depends onwhen the governor spec-ifies. Strickland’s orderwas effective for 90 daysand it included emer-gency rules. Kasich’sorder is set to run out onhis last day in office,though he can end it be-fore then. An order istypically used to putpolicies in place immedi-ately.

Q: What happened toStrickland’s order?

A: It expired in Aprilalong with its emergencyrules. The former gover-nor issued the order inJanuary, just days beforeleaving office. Kasich didnot renew the order. Hisadministration’s lawyerssay the state’s Divisionof Wildlife did not havethe legal authority to en-force the directive. The

division handles nativewildlife, such as deer,certain bears and rac-coons — not non-nativeanimals, such as lionsand tigers. A spokes-woman for the agencysays no steps were takento fulfill Strickland’s di-rective because counseladvised them legislationwas needed before suchaction could be carriedout.

Q: What did the Ka-sich administration doafter his predecessor’sorder expired?

A: The Kasich admin-istration announced inApril that a workinggroup of stakeholderswould convene to recom-mend legislation aimedat regulating dangerouswild animals. The groupfirst met in June, andhas been meetingmonthly. Kasich’s execu-tive order directs themembers to providetheir framework for anew law no later thanNov. 30. Kasichspokesman Rob Nicholssaid the working grouphas not been directed toput Strickland’s ideasinto law. But, Nicholssaid, “It’s a good guide tosome of the things we’rethinking about.”

Q: Are the workinggroup’s meetings open tothe public or media?

A: No. Unlike legisla-tive committees or ap-pointed commissions,the working group is nota public body. It does nothave policy-making au-thority. It’s a group of 10stakeholder organiza-tions that include theOhio Association of Ani-mal Owners, the OhioFarm Bureau, the ZooAssociation of Americaand the state’s naturalresources departmentamong others.

Q: Would either exec-utive order have pre-vented Ohio animalowner Terry Thompsonfrom keeping and laterfreeing 56 rare and dan-gerous wild animals?

A: It’s unclear. Strick-land’s order could haveled to Thompson’s ani-mals being taken away,says Wayne Pacelle,president and CEO, Hu-mane Society of theUnited States. That’s be-cause Thompson had aprevious animal crueltyconviction from 2005,and he would have beenin violation of Strick-land’s rules had theystill been in place onMay 1. In comparison,Kasich’s order draws at-tention to a 1953 Ohiolaw that gives humanesocieties the authority toenforce the state’s ani-mal welfare laws, includ-ing the ability to arrestpeople. Laura Jones, aspokeswoman for theOhio Department ofNatural Resources, saidit’s possible that localauthorities could haveused that law to step induring the 2005 animalcruelty case.

90-year-old retiringfrom Ohio farm marketTOLEDO (AP) —

Katie Thomas liked thebusiness when she was 6or so, walking with hergrandmother EmmaEpps Gibbs several milesinto Yazoo City, Miss.,peddling okra, butter andfresh milk door-to-door towhite people. “Peoplemight give us a hamsandwich or an orange orclothes.” It was the 1920s.

“She had a basket onher head and a pail oneach arm.And I’d be lead-ing a horse with a stack of(live) chickens in gunnysacks, their heads stick-ing out,” Thomas says.

She still likes it. “I’m apeople person.”

She started sellingvegetables out of her oldstation wagon in the1940s, and at the ToledoFarmers’ Market in 1952after the NAACP suc-ceeded in obtaining a stallfor her.

Saturday will be herlast day at market.

“I’m 90 years old!” isher simple explanationfor retirement.

She splays her largehands on the kitchentable, marveling at whatamazing tools they havebeen for nearly a century.

“These hands herehave did some work,” sheexclaims, Mississippi fla-voring her speech.

On a recent weekend,she sat at the market ona folding chair, bundledup next to an electricheater behind the boothloaded with corn and redand brown sweet pota-toes. Her daughter, EllaM. Hall (“I call her bosslady”), and great-grand-children, Ramon Labiche,20, Travinea McDonald,15, and Eleah McDonald,8, served customers.

“I was bornwith prettygoodmotherwisdom,” shesays, tapping her headwith a long finger. It’s ahard head, she admits.

She recalls a grandfa-ther who was secretlytaught to read by a whitewoman he worked for —he, in turn, taught Katieand others the alphabetand spelling as they layon their stomachs aroundthe fire at night; and agrandmother who freelywalked off African soil asa girl and onto a shipbound for the NewWorld,believing she’d be re-

50 arrested at OU partyATHENS (AP) — Po-

lice say the annual Hal-loween block party thathelped earn Ohio Univer-sity its No. 1 party schoolranking ended this yearwith 50 arrests, largelyalcohol related.

The Saturday nightparty near the universityin downtownAthens gen-erally draws about 20,000people, and authoritiessay this year’s crowd wastypical. They say ambu-

lance calls were up — toabout 45 — and weremostly alcohol related.

Revelers interviewedbyTheAthensMessengersay they felt comfortablewith the security leveland called the event safeand fun.

Arrests in some recentyears have eclipsed 200.The university was votedthe top party school inAu-gust on the 2011 Prince-ton Review surveys.

united with her family.Upon arrival, she was puton the auction block.“She’d sing African songsto me.”

Forgoing eighth grade,which would have cost $1a month at the one-roomschool for black children,young Katie Gibbs wentto work forMiss Shirley, awhite lady married to amail carrier, making$1.75 for a seven-dayweek.Between 6 a.m. and1 p.m., she’d cook a bigbreakfast and lunch,wash dishes, iron andclean house. “They wouldalways give youwhatever(food) was left over.”

She also climbed intothe back of trucks, joiningworkers headed for thefields. A strong 5 foot, 8inches (from which agehas stolen an inch), shecould pick 400 pounds of

cotton a day.That’s whereshe met Henry Thomas,before he left to serve inthe Navy during WorldWar II. Upon his return,they ventured north,seeking a better life andeducation for their chil-dren. She was 24 and hewas 26 in October 1946,when they and Ella, theiroldest, got on a bus, leav-ing the younger four withrelatives.

“It was a JimCrow busuntil Indianapolis, whereyou could sit whereveryou wanted. The wholeback of the bus was full ofblack folks leaving theSouth,” she says. “It was agreat migration. Thesemen hadn’t been awayfromhome before thewar.I think all the black peo-ple I knew who had peo-ple in the military wentnorth.”

Ohioankilled inVietnamhonoredNEW FRANKLIN

(AP) — Spurred by animpromptu $100 dona-tion, a Vietnam vet plansto dedicate a bench atOhio Veterans MemorialPark to a Marine whodied in the war 43 yearsago clutching a grenadeto spare two nearby ser-vicemen.

The Akron BeaconJournal reports MarinePfc. Burt Everett Miller,known as Rusty by hisfriends, died Nov. 4,1968, when he took thefull force of the grenadethat had landed on hischest.

ATCHISON, Kan. (AP)— Crews suspended theirsearch Sunday for threepeople missing after athunderous explosion at aKansas grain elevatorkilled three workers andhospitalized two otherswith severe burns.The blast, which shook

the ground so hard that itwas felt into neighboringMissouri, is a harrowingreminder of the dangersworkers face inside eleva-tors brimming with highlycombustible grain dust atthe end of the harvest sea-son.The explosion Saturday

night at the elevator inAtchison, about 50 milesnorthwest of Kansas City,sent an orange fireballinto the night sky, shot offa chunk of the grain distri-bution building directlyabove the elevator andblew a large hole in theside of the one of its con-crete silos.

port, a trooper spotted a pa-trol car changing lanes in adangerous manner earlierthis month.The report saysthe patrol car ignoredwarn-ings to pull over and led abrief high-speed chase be-fore stopping near Holly-wood.

Plainfield, and nearby Wind-sor had gotten 26 inches byearly Sunday.It was blamed for at least

nine deaths, and states ofemergency were declared inNew Jersey, Connecticut,Massachusetts and parts ofNew York.Roads, rails and airline

flights were knocked out, andpassengers on a JetBlue flightwere stuck on a plane in Hart-ford, Conn., for more thanseven hours. And while chil-dren across the region werethrilled to see snow so early, italso complicated many oftheir Halloween plans.Sharon Martovich of

Southbury, Conn., said shehoped the power will comeback on in time for her hus-band’s Halloween tradition ofplaying “Young Frankenstein”on a giant screen in front oftheir house. But no matterwhat, she said, they will makesure the eight or so childrenwho live in the neighborhooddon’t miss out on trick-or-treating.“Either way we will get the

giant flashlights and we willgo,” she said.More than 800,000 power

customers were without elec-tricity in Connecticut alone —shattering the record set justtwo months ago by HurricaneIrene. Massachusetts hadmore than 600,000 outages,and so did New Jersey — in-cluding Gov. Chris Christie’shouse. Parts of Pennsylvania,New Hampshire, New York,Maine, Maryland and Ver-mont also were withoutpower.“It’s going to be a more dif-

ficult situation than we expe-

rienced in Irene,” ConnecticutGov. Dannel P. Malloy said.“We are expecting extensiveand long-term power outages.”Thirty-two shelters were

ern Connecticut, trees were soladen with snow on some backroads that the branchestouched the street. Every fewminutes, a snap filled the airas one broke and tumbleddown. Roads that were plowedbecame impassible because

the trees were falling so fast.One of the few businesses

open in the area was a Big Ygrocery store that had a gen-erator. Customers loaded upon supplies, heard news up-dates over the intercom,charged up their cell phones,and waited for a suddenlyhard-to-get cup of coffee — ina line that was 30 people deepand growing.Many of the areas hit by

the storm had also been hit byIrene. In New Jersey’s Hamil-ton Township, Tom Jacobsenalso recalled heavy springflooding and a particularlyheavy winter before that.“I’m starting to think we

weren’t ready for a wintrywallop.Kerry McNiven said she

was “totally unprepared” forthe storm that knocked outher water and power and senttree limbs crashing into herSimsbury, Conn., home. Shewas buying disposable platesand cups in a darkened super-market, a setting that shesaid resembled “one of thosepost-apocalyptic TV shows.”

Qantas expected to resumeflights after court acts

DALLAS (AP) — QantasAirways was expected to re-sume flying Monday after anAustralian court intervenedin a labor dispute that led theairline to ground its entirefleet over the weekend.By the time the labor-rela-

tions court acted, severalhundred flights had beencanceled and tens of thou-sands of passengers strandedaround the world.Some airline industry ex-

perts say Qantas’ surprisegrounding of its entire fleetSaturday could cause manytravelers to book future tripson other airlines.Qantas CEO Alan Joyce

said he had no choice but toorder the lockout of unionworkers and end months ofrolling strikes that led to can-celed flights, $70 million inlosses and a collapse in fu-ture bookings.Joyce told the Australian

Broadcasting Corp. that he

expected some flights to re-sume by mid-afternoon Mon-day. It was unclear how longit would take for the airlineto resume a full schedule. Theairline had estimated that itwould lose $20 million a dayduring the lockout.The Australian labor-rela-

tions court issued its rulingending the standoff earlyMonday morning — middaySunday in the United States— after holding an emer-gency hearing that includedtestimony from company,labor union and governmentofficials.The president of the labor-

arbitration panel, GeoffreyGiudice, said the group actedto protect Australia’s tourismand aviation industry.The airline said 447 flights

had been canceled in the first24 hours of the lockout. Qan-tas did not immediately up-date that figure.Qantas is the largest of

Australia’s four national do-mestic airlines, carryingabout 70,000 passengers aday on a fleet of 108 planesthat operate in 22 countries.In 2010, it was the 16thlargest airline in the world bypassenger miles flown, ac-cording to the trade publica-tion Air Transport World.Its major international

destinations include Singa-pore, Hong Kong and London.In the United States, Qantasflies to Los Angeles, Dallas,New York and Honolulu.Travelers reported being

ordered to leave planes thatwere already on the tarmacwhen the lockout began Sat-urday. More than 60 planesin mid-flight flew to theirdestinations, then wereparked.Qantas said it paid to re-

book passengers on otherairlines, including compen-sating those who had to payhigher last-minute fares to

get home.For several weeks, workers

have carried out rollingstrikes and refused to workovertime to demand higherpay and protest the airline’splans to cut about 1,000 jobs.Qantas, which has about32,500 employees, wants toreduce costs by creating newAsia-based airlines for inter-national flying. Internationalflights were a roughly $200million drain on the companylast year.The company reported in

August that annual profithad doubled. But it said thebusiness climate was too tur-bulent — partly because oflabor turmoil — to forecastfuture earnings.Henry Harteveldt, an air-

line industry analyst in SanFrancisco, predicts the shut-down will do long-term dam-age to the Qantas name byhurting its reputation for re-liability.

blamed on the Pakistan-based Haqqaninetwork, the latest reinforced U.S. andAfghan demands that Islamabad domore to curb militant activity and sanc-tuaries on its territory.While there is no specific informa-

tion linking Saturday’s convoy attack tothe Haqqani network, investigators saythey soon will have evidence the bomb-ing was “Haqqani-related,” a westerndiplomat said Sunday. The diplomat,who spoke on condition of anonymity todiscuss the investigation, said it was“very possible” the attack was the workof Haqqani fighters, who have ties toboth al-Qaida and the Taliban.In the brazen midday assault, a sui-

cide bomber rammed a vehicle packedwith explosives into an armored coali-

tion bus traveling in the southwest endof the city. Heavily armored military ve-hicles also were in the convoy, but thebomber targeted the bus, which wascarrying troops and civilians contrac-tors.The Haqqanis were the specific focus

of two military operations this monththat involved tens of thousands ofAfghan and NATO troops. They wereconducted over nine days in Kabulprovince, Wardak, Logar and Ghazniprovinces south and west of the capitaland Paktia, Paktika and Khostprovinces along the border. More than200 insurgents were killed or captured.At least 20 of them had ties to theHaqqani group, including 10 identifiedas leaders of the network.Marine Gen. John Allen, the top com-

mander of U.S. and NATO forces inAfghanistan, said in a recent interviewwith The Associated Press that the op-erations against the Haqqanis wereconducted in preparation for next year’splan to step up operations to keep in-

surgents from infiltrating across thePakistani border and into the capital,especially from the south.“The campaign plan is to extend op-

erations down in that area — prettysignificantly — to secure the orbitaldistricts around Kabul and push thatsecurity zone out,” Allen said.“The overarching campaign plan for

next year is going to see us consolidateour holdings in the south, conduct op-erations in the east to expand the secu-rity zone around Kabul and thenconnect the two,” he said. That alsowould facilitate travel along a highwaythat connecting Kabul with southernAfghanistan, he said.In Saturday’s attack, the force of the

explosion knocked the bus on its sideand ignited a large fire that sent heavyblack smoke rising above the scene.Seventeen people died — five NATOservice members, including one Cana-dian soldier; eight civilian contractors,including two from Britain; and fourAfghans, including a policeman.

Skepticchangeshis mindWASHINGTON (AP) —

A prominent physicist andskeptic of global warmingspent two years trying tofind out if mainstream cli-mate scientists werewrong. In the end, he de-termined they were right:Temperatures really arerising rapidly.The study of the world’s

surface temperatures byRichard Muller was par-tially bankrolled by afoundation connected toglobal warming deniers.He pursued long-heldskeptic theories in analyz-ing the data. He wasspurred to action becauseof “Climategate,” a Britishscandal involving hackedemails of scientists.Yet he found that the

land is 1.6 degrees warmerthan in the 1950s. Thosenumbers fromMuller, whoworks at the University ofCalifornia, Berkeley andLawrence Berkeley Na-tional Lab, match those bythe National Oceanic andAtmospheric Administra-tion and NASA.

Soup kitchen serveshundreds each weekFor more than 12

years, Holy Angels SoupKitchen has providedlunches and compassionto area residents eachMonday,Wednesday andFriday at the AlphaCommunity Center onEast Court Street.The kitchen serves

anyone, regardless ofage, income, faith, orlevel of need. It providesboth a tangible solutionto hunger for the needyand intangible fellow-ship for those who arealone or feeling lostwithout hope.Director Pat Luthman

said the kitchen serves80 to 120 people eachday, a number that hasincreased in the past fewyears due to the ongoingeconomic decline.The organization was

founded in 1999 whenan anonymous Sidneyresident recognized aneed and put a plan intoaction to serve both theless fortunate and agingcitizens of Sidney. Utiliz-ing a small-budget ap-proach developed byDick Steineman of St.Patrick Church in Troyyears earlier, she andSteineman approached

the Holy Angels ParishCouncil and its then-newpastor, Rev. Jerry Bens-man, with an idea and aplan. The idea was to es-tablish a soup kitchencapable of servinglunches to the areaneedy. The idea was em-braced, but the councilrequired her to execute afunding, operational andstaffing strategy beyondher prior social serviceexperiences. Undaunted,she contacted her father,a retired local businessexecutive, and askedhim to find sponsors whowould provide start-upfunding. He generatedseveral thousand dollarsin just a few days.A committee compris-

ing individuals from thechurch was formed tooversee the project. Thecommittee securedkitchen and dining facil-ities and hired Luth-man.The Holy Angels Soup

Kitchen is able to deliverhope and reduce hungerthrough its multitude ofdiverse cooks andservers.A variety of churches,

scouting clubs, women’sand men’s charitable

groups and caring indi-viduals volunteer year-round to make itpossible.Financial support

comes from Cargill Inc.,the Community Founda-tion, United Way, West-ern Ohio Food Bank,churches of various de-nominations and indi-viduals throughoutShelby County and sur-rounding towns and vil-lages. Additionally, foodcontributions and fundsare given by restaurants,food processors and localbusinesses.“Our anonymous

leader had a dream anda vision for deliveringhope to the needyaround her,” Luthmansaid. “One hundred sixtythousand meals later,through the love andgenerosity of others, weare still nourishing bod-ies and nurturing hearts,one meal at a time.To volunteer, donate

food or financially sup-port Holy Angels SoupKitchen, contact Luth-man at 498-0598.Financial gifts may be

steel mug that I use fortea that’s badly stained.I’ve tried many things,but can’t get it clean.Can you help? — Dar-lene A., via emailNice to hear from you,

and I enjoyed speakingto your group.Yes, I can help. A den-

ture tablet is the oldhint, but my favoriteway to clean a tea staintoday is with water andcheap vinegar. Fill yourmug with water, add afew tablespoons of vine-gar and let sit for awhile. Scrub with bakingsoda, and you’re done!For more-stubborn

stains, you can mixequal parts salt andvinegar to clean andscrub.Did you accidentally

burn something in a potwhile cooking, and nowcan’t remove it? Justsoak in plain vinegar forapproximately 30 min-utes or so, then scruband wash! — Heloise

a hint from five decadesago in celebration of the50th year of this column:“After washing my

canvas shoes in thewashing machine, Ispray them with spraystarch. This puts a thinfilm over the cloth andprevents soil from cling-ing to the fabric, and theinsides are still soft andcomfortable.” — Sandrafrom 1961

SAFETY LIGHTDear Heloise: I often

work at the kitchentable in the evening withthe light on over thetable. This leaves the liv-ing room dark. In orderto not fall over a smalltable, I place a smalllight (Heloise here: Itlooks like a candle, butit’s flameless) on thetable, which makes itjust light enough to seethe table in the dark. —G.D. in North Liberty,Ind.

OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Court has lasting effectTo the editor:

On Nov. 8 ShelbyCounty residents havethe opportunity to fi-nally vote on a criticaljudgeship which willhave a continuing im-pact on our criminaljustice system, that ofSidney Municipal CourtJudge.

All of our courts areimportant but the argu-ment could be madethat Municipal Courthas a greater influenceon our lives than that ofany other. Over 10,000residents each andevery year walkthrough those halls asdefendants, victims, wit-nesses and jurors in al-most one-fourth of thepopulation of ShelbyCounty. These are peo-ple with profound issuesthat must be addressedfor the good of our soci-ety and these issues arefundamental to our wayof life.

Most constitutionallaw is made in thiscourtroom. For example:Ernesto Miranda was adefendant in a Munici-pal Court and the rul-ings made theretraveled all the way tothe Supreme Court andgave rise to what weknow as the “MirandaRights” which protectsus all. The same is truewith search and seizure,the right to remainsilent and many otherconstitutional rights.

So my point is, whenI read comments fromour current appointedMunicipal Court JudgeDuane Goettemoeller

refer to his courtroomas a “mix” of “JudgeJudy” and “Night Court”(re: Sidney Daily News,Oct. 24) I am distressed.

The happenings inSidney Municipal Courtare not to be looked onas a source of entertain-ment but a fundamen-tal part of our criminaljustice system that di-rectly affects our lives,liberty and safety. Manyof these defendants arefirst time offenders thathave simply made a badchoice. The atmosphereof the courtroom andthe way they aretreated in the court-room will have a lastingeffect on their view ofthe justice system andhow they interact in thefuture with law enforce-ment in our community.

Appearing before acourt, by Judge Goette-moeller’s own admission,that allows for a “JudgeJudy” and “Night Court”atmosphere will not in-still in those defendantsand victims the sense ofrespect for law andorder we need in Sidneyand Shelby County.

I believe Jeff Beigelhas demonstrated theprofessionalism andconservative values inhis practice and familylife needed to restorethe importance of thisgrand institution-ourMunicipal Court. This iswhy I ask you to join meon Nov. 8 in voting forJeff Beigel for munici-pal court judge.

Joslin shows leadershipTo the editor:

Rob Joslin’s leader-ship, experience andknowledge have servedClinton Township well.Rob draws his leader-ship from his tirelessservice as past presi-dent of both Ohio andAmerican Soybean As-sociation. As presidenthe was at the forefronton issues and policiesthat affect the globaltrade and the local suc-cess of the largest in-dustry in Ohio.

His experience withequipment and landmanagement allow himto have a clear pictureof the issues that arrivewith infrastructure and

service to the town-ship’s residents. Hisknowledge of the com-munity’s current andhistorical issues allowhim to assess and moveforward with decisionsthat affect the townshipin the most economicand efficient way possi-ble.

As a farmer/smallbusiness owner, he un-derstands the value ofhard work and the eco-nomic strains we allface in the current envi-ronment. I believe Robhas been and still is theclear choice for ClintonTownship trustee.

Support Joslin for trusteeTo the editor:

I would like to addmy voice to the chorusof support to re-electRob Joslin as ClintonTownship trustee.

I have known Robfor many yearsthrough a mutualfriend. During thoseyears I have had nu-merous “kitchen table”discussions with Robon a variety of issuesrelated to the Sid-ney/Shelby Countyarea. Rob has alwaysbeen open-minded andrespectful during those

talks with his focus onwhat is best about andfor our community.

During the past year,I witnessed Rob’s caringpersonality as daily hechecked on our mutualfriend who was battlingcancer. Rob’s demon-strated dedication toothers combined with awillingness to listen aretraits I admire. There-fore, I am supportingRob for re-election toClinton Townshiptrustee.

Bill puts best workerson job, saves money

To the editor:Much controversy

surrounds discussion ofIssue 2 and Senate Bill5. One argument is thebill will reduce theamount of public work-ers and general safetywill be at risk. Thisstatement is false.Under current law, pub-lic employers mustabide by sometimes-burdensome labor con-tracts that demandexpensive fringe bene-fits. During these hardeconomic times, employ-ers lack the flexibility torestructure their budg-ets and must in turn layoff workers. SB5 re-forms current laws andwould reduce costs andsave money. It does notdictate wages oramounts of workers.

The Ohio Depart-ment of AdministrativeServices estimated ifjust two of the reformsin SB5 had been en-acted in fiscal year2010, the state couldhave saved $191 mil-lion. With that extramoney, the state couldperhaps hire moreworkers, not removethem.

Another point of con-tention is how themoney is saved. Person-nel costs account for 70to 80 percent of govern-ment budgets, so natu-rally those would be thefirst reduced. Thiswould be done by em-ployees earning theirpay based on perform-ance, as well as paying15 percent on theirhealth insurance and 10percent on their retire-ment plan. This is stillless than private sector

workers who pay on av-erage 31 percent oftheir healthcare cover-age.

Yet with thesechanges, SB5 does noteliminate workers’ col-lective bargainingrights. According toBuilding a Better Ohio,“Government employeeunions can still assisttheir members in nego-tiating pay and employ-ment conditions.”

Another claim is thatSB5 would harm themiddle class. This is un-true. First, reducedcosts mean reducedtaxes for the middleclass to pay. Secondly,SB5 would keep thebest teachers, socialworkers and emergencyresponders on the job bypaying based on howwell they perform, asthe private sector does,and not firing them be-cause they were the lastto be hired.

Thirdly, SB5 allowsworkers to choosewhether to join a union,and if not, they wouldnot be compelled to payunion dues or fees. Inaddition, the amend-ment to the RevisedCode, Section 9.81, asproposed by SB5 re-quires permission fordeductions in pay byunions for charitableagencies. Imagine themoney a worker couldsave by not being forcedto pay union dues.

Issue 2 keeps the bestworkers on the job andputs money back in thepockets of public em-ployees and taxpayers.Vote “yes” on Issue 2.

Zanthia Hill4749 Dormire Road

What can taxpayers afford?To the editor:

Over the past fewyears, workers acrossthe state have mademany sacrifices. Re-strained budgets inbusinesses all over Ohiohave resulted in work-ers taking pay cuts orbeing laid off altogether.To these workers, themere thought of a payincrease, though alwaysenticing, in reality wasprobably nothing morethan a pipedream.

Compare this to whatgoes on in government,and you will notice a bigdifference. Instead ofcutting back salaries ina difficult economy, theway government em-ployees are paid has re-mained pretty much thesame. These workers,for the most part, havecontinued to receive au-tomatic step increasesin salary — benefits pri-vate sector employeessimply do not have.

In the private sector,workers are paid basedon their value to thecompany. Understand-ably, workers’ pay oftenincreases over time, butthis is only becausetheir years of experi-

ence and knowledgeusually make themmore valuable. It is not,however, guaranteed.Changes in customerpreference and ups anddowns in the economyall play major roles asto how much a businessearns and, thus, howmuch it can give to itsemployees.

So it is easy to under-stand why manyOhioans support theprovision in Senate Bill5 that eliminates auto-matic salary increasesfor public workers.

This is an issue of“what can the taxpayersafford?”The fact is,manypublic employeesthroughout the state havenot shared in the pain ofthis “great recession.”

The public has ex-pressed its desire forgovernment to run moreresponsibly and effi-ciently, but also morefairly. Eliminating auto-matic salary increasesfor government employ-ees is just one way thatSB 5 establishes bal-ance for all of Ohio’sworkers.State Rep. John Adams

‘We need Beigel’To the editor:

This letter is in sup-port of Shelby Countyattorney, assistant pros-ecutor and local busi-nessman Jeffrey Beigel.Mr. Beigel is campaign-ing for the opportunityto serve as our commu-nity’s next elected Mu-nicipal Court judge.

Mr. Beigel holds ourMunicipal Court in thehighest regard. Thecourt and those whoserve the court makereal and positive differ-ences to both our com-munity and morebroadly, our society. Mr.Beigel has consistentlyobserved that the mu-nicipal court is the“court of first impres-sion.” He is adamantthat how offenders arehandled in our Munici-pal Court can and willleave a meaningful im-pression. In fact, the im-pression of communityservice, fines, probation,house arrest and cer-tainly jail time are

proven to prevent moreserious offences from oc-curring down the roadkeeping our communi-ties and our childrensafe.

But that’s not all.Based on the sheer vol-ume of cases in munici-pal courts, those localdecisions find their wayto our supreme courts.Because of thosesupreme court deci-sions, more common lawis made from MunicipalCourts than from any-where else. Our Munici-pal Court is important,and we need a seriousjudge to manage it. Weneed Jeffrey Beigel.

Mr. Beigel is a con-servative who valuesfamily, independence,individual and commu-nity responsibility, andthe sanctity of humanlife. Please join me invoting for Jeffrey Beigelfor Municipal CourtJudge on Nov. 8.

Joslin wants Clinton Twp.‘to be best it can be’

To the editor:I have known Rob

Joslin since we showedhogs against each otherat the Shelby CountyFair. As life often does,we did not run into eachother often over theyears but reacquaintedlater. Currently, I knowRob as a successfulfarmer who takes pridein his family farm andcares deeply for theland and his commu-nity.

Rob is running for re-election as ClintonTownship trustee. Hehas served me and myneighbors in that capac-ity for eight years. I likevoting for someone withexperience. It is that ex-perience, along withRob’s big picture think-

ing, that, in my opinion,make his the best choicefor trustee. Too manytimes our elected offi-cials set out to solve theproblem of the momentwithout considering howthat decision will affectus all down the road.Over the years I havebeen amazed at Rob’swillingness to labor overthe smallest of details to“get it right” the firsttime. I guess it’s becausehe was born and raisedin Clinton Townshipand wants it to be thebest it can be for all ofus. And that’s goodenough for me.

Please join me andvote for Rob Joslin Clin-ton Township trustee.

Protecting your pond in winter monthsNow that autumn is

here, Shelby County res-idents are beginning tomake preparations forthe frigid winter monthsahead in West CentralOhio. We are harvestingour garden vegetables,taking our houseplantsindoors, mulching andcovering up our sensitiveoutdoor plantings, and ingeneral, battening downthe hatches in prepara-tion for the cold winterwinds and snow. Butwhat should be done toprotect our ponds andtheir inhabitantsagainst the ravages ofwinter?

Before we can takethe steps we need to pro-tect our landscape orrecreational pond, weshould understand whatactually goes on in thelife of the pond duringthe winter season.

Fish kills in Ohioponds are rare eventsconsidering the largenumbers of ponds andsmall lakes located inthe state. However, theydo occur every year andsome years are worsethan others. Fish killscan result from a varietyof causes, but the mostcommon causes arechanging weather,amount of pond vegeta-tion present and the re-sulting interaction of thetwo.The critical factor inthe pond equation is thelevel of oxygen in thepond. Oxygen is essen-tial to all aquatic life andshould be maintained atlevels of 4 ppm (parts ofoxygen per million partsof water=milligrams perliter of water) or higher.The “Winter OxygenCycle” regulates oxygenlevels in the pond duringthe winter months.

During winter, greenplants and algae slowdown their metabolismand die off, in responseto the decrease in sun-light and water temper-ature. When thishappens, the productionof oxygen through photo-synthesis is decreased.However, this does notmean that all oxygen

levels in the pond aremuch lower in winter. Inunfrozen ponds, for in-stance, high oxygen lev-els will occur duringwinter because the oxy-gen needs are less in coldwater. Aquatic animal(primarily fish) metabo-lism and oxygen-con-suming decompositionprocesses are greatly re-duced in cold water. Coldwater also contains moreoxygen than the warmersummer water becausemore evaporation occursin warm weather deplet-ing oxygen levels. On thesurface of unfrozenponds, strong winterwinds also keep the pondwater circulating andcontinually add oxygenthroughout the wintermonths. These factorscombine to prevent win-terkill in unfrozenponds, even thoughplants are contributingonly a small amount ofoxygen in the winter.

Problems in the win-ter pond begin to occurwhen ice forms on thepond.

As ice forms, neitherthe wind nor contactwith the air is able tocontribute oxygen to thewater. The only source ofoxygen becomes thatproduced by the few re-maining algae andplants. If the ice remainsthin and clear, oxygenproduction by plants andalgae can continue asenough sunlight will fil-ter through the ice toallow photosynthesis tooccur. This oxygen pro-duction can nearly com-pensate for that which isused up by respirationand decomposition thatis continually going on.If the ice remains into

midwinter or thickens,oxygen levels will beginto decline. This is be-cause each day, theplants and animals useslightly more oxygenthan what is produced.At this stage though, thepond still has sufficientoxygen.

Serious problems de-velop when ice persistsinto late winter andthickens, or is covered bysnowfall. The amount ofsunlight reaching theplants is drastically re-duced and so are oxygenlevels. However, metabo-lism and decompositioncontinue in the fish pop-ulation, so oxygen levelsbegin to drop and canapproach levels thatthreaten the survival ofthe fish. In cold water,oxygen levels that re-main at less than 2-3ppm for an extendedtime will begin to killfish. If the level drops to1-2 ppm or lowerthroughout the pond, acomplete fish kill will re-sult.

There are several fac-tors that influence theprobability of a win-terkill:

Winter severity is themost important factor indetermining the likeli-hood of a winterkill. Amild winter means littleor no ice, and no win-terkill caused by lack ofoxygen. A harsh winterincreases the chance ofproblems, due to thickerice and snow cover. Fourinches of snow on top ofice nearly eliminatessunlight penetrationquickly reducing oxygenlevels in the pond.

Pond volume is impor-tant because the greaterthe volume of water inthe pond, the less likelyfor winterkill to occur.This is why fish over-winter better in largerand/or deeper ponds. Aone-acre pond that aver-ages six feet deep willhave more winter oxy-gen available than a one-acre pond that averagesonly three feet in depth.

Decomposition of theamount of decaying or-ganic matter that ispresent on the bottom ofthe pond is an important

factor. Dead aquatic veg-etation and tree leavesaccount for most of theorganic matter that de-composes during winter.Ponds that have a verydense aquatic plant com-munity in summer arethe ponds that are mostsusceptible to winterkillduring harsh winters.

Fish biomass (theamount of fish in num-bers and pounds) in thepond during winter alsoinfluences oxygen de-cline under the ice. Eventhough fish slow downtheir metabolism duringthe winter, they still re-quire oxygen. A pondthat contains manypounds of fish will expe-rience a faster decline inoxygen than a pond withfewer pounds of fish.This is why fish farmersclosely monitor ponds inwinter since they aremaintaining fish bio-mass at levels thatgreatly exceed a normalpond.

Pond owners shouldbe most concerned dur-ing a harsh winter inwhich ice cover persists,there is considerablesnow cover on the ice,the pond is small andshallow, and the pondcontained a largeamount of aquatic plantsthe previous summer.Winterkill prevention

Winterkills can beprevented in most cases,due in part to changes inweather conditions.Even though winters inOhio tend to be harsh, asudden warm spell willpartially thaw a pond fora few days. Oxygen lev-els rebound quicklywhen a pond becomesice-free. A single warmperiod of two to threedays occurring at theright time can greatlyreduce the possibility ofa fish kill. There are alsomeasures that a pondowner can take to helpprevent a winterkill.Prevention activities

• Limiting plant de-composition

During constructionof the pond, the insideslopes should be con-structed to prevent ex-cessive growth of aquaticvegetation. A slope that

drops one foot in depthfor every three feet ofdistance toward the cen-ter of the pond, or a 3:1slope, should be main-tained along most of theshoreline areas.This willlimit the amount of shal-low water where sum-mer aquatic plantgrowth occurs. The re-duced summer aquaticvegetation means lessdecomposition and re-sults in higher oxygenlevels under the ice inwinter. Because deeperponds experience win-terkills less often, it isimportant to have amaximum depth of 10 -12 feet if possible.A goodrule of thumb is one-quarter of the pond’ssurface area should beeight feet deep or half ofthe pond’s surface areashould be six feet deep.

You can also obtainOhio State UniversityExtension Fact Sheets A-3-98, Controlling Fila-mentous Algae in Ponds,A-4-98, Chemical Con-trol of Aquatic Weeds,and the Ohio Pond Man-agement bulletin tolearn more about strate-gies for controllingaquatic plants.

• AerationThe installation of an

aeration system willkeep a small area of thepond ice-free. Aerationnot only adds oxygen tothe water directly due tothe bubbles and agita-tion, but the open areaallows for considerablediffusion of oxygen intothe pond from the air.The aeration systemdoes not need to be runcontinuously all winterand can be turned ononly when ice is formingon the pond. Leave itturned off when the pondis ice-free. Aeration canbe used sparingly in win-ter to minimize ice cover.

Safety Note: Aerationduring winter generallyprevents safe ice forskating or ice fishingfrom developing any-where on the pond.

• Snow RemovalIf your pond is ice-cov-

ered and aeration is notan option, fish win-terkills can often be pre-vented by simplyremoving some of thesnow from the ice. About25-50 percent of thepond surface needs to bekept free of snow tomaintain enough light toallow sufficient photo-synthesis to occur. Snowremoval is really effec-tive in small, shallowponds, where the volumeof water may not be suf-ficient to allow oxygen tolast all winter.

Safety Note: Only re-move snow when the iceis safe. Having ice that isat least a minimum offour inches thick is agood rule to follow beforestepping onto the ice toremove snow.

Maintaining ahealthy pond year-roundwill help protect yourfish from a winterkill. Ifyou are interested inpurchasing fish forstocking your pond, youcan purchase fish fromthe annual fish salesheld by Shelby SWCD inthe fall.

DR. WAL-LACE: Michaeland I have beendating for morethan sixmonths.My par-ents have seenhim manytimes. They likehim a lot, and Iknow he likesmy parents be-cause he tellsme he does.When he first startedpicking me up for a date,he would come into thehouse and assure myparents he would bringme home — safe — be-fore my 11:30 p.m. cur-few. That happened forabout the first twomonths. Then Michaeldecided that instead ofcoming in, he would sim-ply honk his car horn forme to come out. Thatdidn’t last very long be-cause after the secondtime, my parents put anend to it.

For the next fourmonths, Michael faith-fully parked his car,came inside and wentthrough my parentsdrill: Where are yougoing? Who’s going to bethere? Make sure youbehave like a gentleman,and make sure you’reback by 11:30 p.m.

Now Michael says heis tired of being askedthe same old stupidquestions time aftertime. He wants to tootthe horn again. He hasnever failed to bring mehome before my curfew— and always safe andsound! Please give meyour opinion. I can hon-estly tell you Michael isa gentleman, if you knowwhat I mean. — Name-less, Hammond, La.

NAMELESS: Surelya young man can walkfrom the curb to yourfront door without com-plaining. I agree with

your parents. If“Michael” wantsto continue see-ing you, heshould showthis courtesy. Isit possible hewants to remainincognito be-cause he doesn’twant the goodfolks in Ham-mond to knowjust how lazy he

is?

DR. WALLACE: I’m15 years old and mymother is going to have ababy. Before she gotpregnant, Mom smokedand drank alcohol (not alot). Now she hasstopped drinking com-pletely, but she stillsmokes.This worries me.Mom has cut back, but Ithink even one cigaretteis too many. Please tellme the dangers to un-born babies who havemothers who smoke.Maybe if my mom seessomething in print, itwill make her stop smok-ing. — Nameless, Tal-ladega, Ala.

NAMELESS: Womenwho smoke while preg-nant have a higher per-centage of stillbornbabies, miscarriages andpremature deliveriesthan pregnant womenwho don’t smoke. Moth-ers-to-be who smoke aremore likely to have low-birth-weight babies, whoare at greater risk ofhaving health problemsafter birth.

Your mom has nochoice but to give up hernasty habit after shereads your letter and myresponse. Nicotine is apowerfully addictivedrug, and it’s difficult tokick. But if anything canmotivate a mom-to-be,it’s the prospect of givingbirth to a healthy, happybaby!

Reaction makes revaccination questionable

Sins of wedding presents past shouldn’t tarnish future

DEAR DR.DONOHUE: Iam a 77-year-oldwoman in goodhealth. Twelveyears ago I hadan Arthus reac-tion to tetanusvaccine. Therewas considerableswelling at theinjection site. Ialso had chillsand fever, achedall over and justplain felt miser-able. I understand that itis wise to have a tetanusbooster every 10 years. Isit safe for me to have thisshot? — A.O.

ANSWER: An Arthusreaction is a severe aller-gic reaction.The injectionsite turns red and swells,and small blood vesselsin the area break andbleed. The skin eventu-ally dies to create anopen sore. The reactionbegins shortly after theinjection.

The guidelines for re-vaccination for tetanussay: “Defer revaccinationof a person with a history

of Arthus-typehypersensitivityreaction from aprevious dose oftetanus vaccineuntil at least 10years haveelapsed since thelast dose.” Tenyears haveelapsed since youhad the shot, butthe words “atleast 10 years”make me reluc-tant to advise get-

ting revaccinated with it.“At least” implies to methat a longer interval isbetter. Furthermore, youhad signs that the reac-tion was widespread. Youhad fever, chills andached all over. This ismore than an Arthus re-action. I wonder if thebenefits of getting theshot again outweigh therisks of another reaction.In 2007, 28 cases oftetanus were recorded inthe United States. Thelikelihood of you gettingthe illness is small.

Tetanus (lockjaw) is adreadful illness. Muscles

spasms of such violentproportions leave peoplein horrendous pain. Itcan be not only extremelypainful but also lethal.Older people are at risk,because their immunityhas waned. Ten-year re-vaccination is recom-mended for all. In yourcase, I wouldn’t get an-other shot unless an al-lergist feels it is safe. Iwould urge you to metic-ulously clean all punc-ture wounds thatoccurred in situationswhere soil or dirt couldenter the wound, theusual setting for atetanus infection.

DEAR DR. DONO-HUE: Why, after 15years of having stoppedsmoking, has emphy-sema suddenly ap-peared? After nosymptoms, it suddenlybecomes a part of yourlife. — C.C.

ANSWER: For howmany years did this per-son smoke, and howmany cigarettes a daywere smoked? It can taketime for symptoms of em-

physema — breathless-ness on slight exertion —to show up even thoughthe damage was doneyears in the past. Not alldamaged lung tissueheals. Add to that dam-age the emphysema thatcomes to everyone fromaging. Nonsmokersrarely show symptoms ofage-related emphysema.Prior smokers often do. Ican say that those 15years of not smokinggreatly reduced the riskof coming down withmore serious symptomssooner. What could havebeen a crippling illness isunlikely to be so.

The booklet on chronicobstructive pulmonarydisease (emphysema andchronic bronchitis) ex-plains both in detail. Toobtain a copy, write: Dr.Donohue — No. 601, Box536475, Orlando, FL32853-6475. Enclose acheck or money order (nocash) for $4.75 U.S./$6.Can. with the recipient’sprinted name and ad-dress. Please allow fourweeks for delivery.

DEAR ABBY:I was recently in-vited to a secondcousin’s weddingshower and wed-ding. To be hon-est with you, if Isaw the bride-to-be on the street, Iwouldn’t recog-nize her.

Although Iwon’t be going toher shower, I amsending a showergift. I plan on attendingthe wedding because Idon’t see this side of thefamily often.

My question is, whatgift should I give thehappy couple for theirwedding? When I gotmarried, her parentsgave me a pair of usedvases. How could I tellthey were used, you ask?Not only were they notin their original packag-

ing, but they alsowere dirty. Abby,there were deadflies in them!Being a well-mannered bride,I didn’t mentionthis to my par-ents, but to thisday I still re-member. —WANTS TO DOTHE RIGHTTHING

D E A RWANTS: Until I sawyour signature, I wastempted to suggest youwash and polish thevases, then nicely wrapand send one to yourcousin with a note ofcongratulations, closingwith “… more to follow.”But knowing you wantto do the “right” thing,I’m asking you to pleasenot blame her for the ac-tions of her parents, who

may have been finan-cially strapped at thetime of your wedding.Then find out where sheand her fiance are regis-tered and send themsomething that’s withinyour budget.

DEAR ABBY: Myhusband and I have beenmarried for eight yearsand are amazed thatmost of our marriedfriends are unable toseparate for even anight.

I was raised in ahousehold where myparents took time forthemselves — whether itwas my dad’s high schoolreunion that Mom hadno interest in, or mymom’s personal growthseminars that Dad wasslow to accept. It workedfor 48 years until Mom’sdeath.

The wife of one couple

we know refused to at-tend our high school re-union, so her husbanddidn’t go either — eventhough many of his closefriends would be in at-tendance. He doesn’tmake plans for himselfbecause everything hasto be run past his wife.

Does our culture cre-ate insecurity? Have welost our independence?— INDEPENDENTTHINKER IN GEOR-GIA

DEAR INDEPEND-ENT: No. You have de-scribed a man who ispassive and prefers toleave the social schedul-ing to his wife. I don’tthink it has anything todo with our culture.

Many couples operatethis way by mutualagreement, and youshouldn’t take it person-ally.

yards on 33 carries and Millerrushed for 99 yards and twotouchdowns and hit 7 of 12passes for 89 yards and an-other score.Wisconsin (6-2, 2-2 Big Ten)

lost for the second straightweek after having hopes ofplaying for the national title.Ohio State coach Luke

Fickell said Miller was calmand confident as he headedout onto the field for theBuckeyes’ final possession. Soconfident he even gave hiscoach a wink.“He had confidence. It’s

amazing to see that in ayoung guy. He walked outthere in that last minute and10 seconds and looked at meand kind of winked and said,‘We’re all right,’ ” Fickell said.“We had to gain momen-

tum. We had momentum twoweeks ago (at Illinois) and wehad to find a way to keep it.Defensively, the big thing wehad to do was stop the runand the front seven did a heckof a job at that,” Fickell said.After trailing 7-3 at half-

time, Ohio State struckquickly for two scores in thefirst five minutes, 34 secondsof the second half to take a 17-7 lead.The Buckeyes took the sec-

ond half kickoff and drove 75yards in seven plays on adrive that ended with Miller

eluding Wisconsin’s EthanHemer on a 1-yard touchdownrun to make it 10-7.The Buckeyes’ defense set

up the second score in thattime span when Ryan Shazierblocked aWisconsin punt andCurtis Grant recovered it atthe Badgers’ 1-yard line.After not having a punt

blocked since the 2009 season,Wisconsin has had twoblocked in its last two games.Two plays later, Jordan

Hall scored on a 1-yard run toput OSU up 17-7 with 9:26left in the third quarter.Ohio State’s defense got an-

other stop on Wisconsin, butHall fumbled the Badgers’punt andAndrew Lukasku re-covered it at OSU’s 27-yardline. Four plays later, Ballscored on a 1-yard run.Drew Basil’s 22-yard field

goal gave the Buckeyes a 20-14 lead with 10:39 left in thegame.When Miller broke loose for

a 44-yard touchdown run with4:39 to play to put OSU up 26-14 after a failed two-point con-version, it appeared Ohio Statehad secured its big upset.

last two years,” Roeth said.“So, I am happy with finishingthird. My time was about 10seconds slower than my PR. Itwasn’t a fast course, so I am

happy with that.”Houston coach Sandy

Heitkamp was not surprisedby Roeth’s performance.“She had beaten that girl

(Meghan Vogel) at Anna,”Heitkamp said. “Allison’s(Roeth) goal was to be in thetop three, so maybe she wasjust happy with that. I am notsure. The only thing that mat-ters is she has another racenext week.”Francis, a junior, ran at the

state meet last year as part ofthe Russia team.“One of my goals was to fin-

ish in the top 10,” Francissaid. “I am really happy to beable to go back to state andthat I was able to run as wellas I did. It was a tough racetoday.”Russia finished fifth with

127 points, missing out onstate by just two points. Min-ster was fourth with 125.New Knoxville also quali-

SEATTLE (AP) — TheCincinnati Bengals are usingtheir defense and a couple ofrookies on offense to stay inthe AFC North race.Quarterback Andy Dalton

threw a pair of first-halftouchdown passes, one to fel-low rookie A.J. Green, Bran-don Tate returned a punt 56yards for a touchdown with3:22 left and the Bengals wontheir fourth straight with a27-12 win over the SeattleSeahawks on Sunday.Dalton tossed TDs of 14

yards to Jerome Simpson anda beautiful 43-yarder thatdropped into the arms ofGreen in the second quarter togive the Bengals a 17-3 lead.From there, the Bengals (5-

2) leaned on their impressivedefense that bent, butmanagedto keep Seattle out of the endzone until the fourth quarter.The Bengals are tied with

the Ravens for second place inthe AFC North, with bothteams a half game behindPittsburgh (6-2).The Seahawks (2-5) were

flustered to the point whererunning back MarshawnLynch was barking at coacheson the bench after Seattle washeld to a field goal on the finalplay of the third quarter —the second time they werestymied inside the 10.The victory made Marvin

Lewis the winningest coach inBengals history with 65.Dalton made mistakes in

the second half throwing apair of interceptions and theBengals managed only 252yards of total offense.That proved to be enough

thanks to special teams, de-fense and plenty of flubs fromthe struggling Seahawks.Dalton, whom Seattle

passed on in April’s draft byusing its late first-round pickon right tackle James Carpen-ter instead of the quarterbackout of TCU, was 18 of 29 for168 yards. Green finishedwith four catches for 63 yards.Mike Nugent made two

field goals, including a 48-yarder with 4:50 left to givethe Bengals a 20-12 lead. Thefield goal capped a drivewhere Cincinnati used 4:05 offthe clock and forced Seattle toget a touchdown and 2-pointconversion to tie.It was a moot point. Seattle

went three-and-out on the en-suing possession and Tatecaught Jon Ryan’s punt andsprinted nearly untouched toseal the victory.

it’s been good to see afterwe struggled in theleague this year.”Anna trailed 5-4 in

the first game beforejumping out to a 12-7lead and going on fromthere to the win.In the second game, it

was 9-8 before the LadyRockets went up 14-8 onan ace by Haley Stein-brunner.Anna trailed early in

tially brand new this sea-son and everything theyexperience just fuelsthem to want more,” saidLoramie coach JohnRodgers. “This is a greataccomplishment for thesegirls.We played very wellin game one and two, butcredit Southeastern forbringing us back to real-ity and making us earnit.“Our serve reception

was great and gave usthe opportunity tospread the ball around.And we also served

well,” Rogers added.Darian Rose was out-

standing at the net,pounding out 19 kills tolead Loramie. ReggieBrandewie, Kelly Turnerand Lindsey Hilgeforthad eight each, and JulieHoying set them up with36 assists.Danielle Wehrman

and Rose led the defensewith 15 digs apiece.Kelly Turner served

yards in the first twoquarters and the Buck-eyes had 104 yards.Ohio State’s only first-

ranked St. Henry in theregional finals Thursdayat Tipp City at 6 p.m.Jackson will play in

ball team took the stingout of Seven Hills with a25-13, 25-10, 25-12 towin a 19th straight dis-trict title Saturday atTroy.Which means, none of

the current Lehmanplayers had been bornthe last time the LadyCavaliers weren’t play-ing in the regional tour-nament.

“It is pretty amazing,”Lehman coach GregSnipes. “The coacheswere talking about itand I don’t think theplayers really think thatmuch about the streak.”Lehman, 23-3, will

play Fort Loramie in thesecond match Thursdayin the Tipp City D-IV re-gional semifinals.The Lady Cavaliers

VOLLEYBALL From Page 14A

SAN FRANCISCO(AP) — Frank Gorecharged up the middlewith his signature burstfor a 2-yard gain, takinganother step forward infranchise history.Gore got that coveted

new contract and is play-ing like his old dominantself. Forget the hip in-jury that ended his sea-son last November. He’sa new man making hiscase for a third Pro Bowland pushing his team to-ward its first playoffberth in nine years.Gore ran for both 125-

plus yards and a touch-down in a fourth straightgame, Michael Crabtreemade his first TD recep-tion of the season, andthe San Francisco 49ersbeat the ClevelandBrowns 20-10 on Sunday.Alex Smith completed

15 of 24 passes for 177yards, leading the first-place 49ers (6-1) to theirfifth consecutive victorysince an overtime loss tothe Cowboys in Week 2.For Colt McCoy and

the Browns, it’s 0-for theBay Area. They lost twoweeks ago in Oakland,then flopped across SanFrancisco Bay at Can-dlestick Park.No handshake flap

this time for Jim Har-baugh, either. And nopost-bye letdown for his49ers, even if it was farfrom flashy.This marked Har-

baugh’s first game sincehis seconds-long greet-ing and firm backslap ofLions coach JimSchwartz following SanFrancisco’s 25-19 come-back win at Detroit twoweeks ago.Harbaugh says he

practiced during the byeweek by high-fiving withhis toddler daughter. Hewas polite to fellow first-year coach Pat Shurmurwhen they met at mid-field.The 49ers, who were

made aware by Har-baugh this week thatteams were 3-9 aftertheir byes coming intoSunday, are off to theirfirst 6-1 start since 1998in the days of greatsJerry Rice, TerrellOwens and Steve Young.Cleveland’s D’Qwell

Jackson committed acostly facemask penaltyagainst Gore that wouldhave stopped San Fran-cisco on third down 2yards short in the wan-ing minutes. DavidAkers sealed it with hissecond field goal of theday, a 26-yarder.Gore already had 103

yards on 19 carries byhalftime, then got theother 7 yards he neededto pass Roger Craig andmove into second placeon the franchise rushinglist with 7,089. Gorewound up with 134yards on a season-high31 carries.

Monday, Oct. 31, 2011You’ve learned some valuable lessonsin the past and you won’t repeat thesame mistakes in the coming year, soyou are now ready to move on to moreadvanced assignments. Make themost of what is handed to you.SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Invit-ing someone to an informal gatheringwith friends may not be as thoughtfulas you intended. If this person doesn’tfit in, it could spoil the fun for every-one.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) —Make sure you can keep all your com-mitments, because someone to whomyou make a promise will take you atyour word and plan his or her entireday around what you say.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Al-though you may mean well, the wayyou manage the resources of anothermay turn out to be a terrible mistakeand result in a huge loss. Your inten-tions are good but irresponsible.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Intrying to complete a specific assign-ment, you might take on an ally inhopes of finishing it sooner. Sadly, theperson you choose could only makematters worse.PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — If youhave to deal with an assignment thatyou do not fully understand, don’tpretend you can handle it. Don’t letyour pride inhibit you from request-ing the help you sorely need.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Put offtaking any financial gambles — theodds simply aren’t in your favor forthe moment. It would also be smart toprevent anyone else from making acommitment for you.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) —All thewishing in the world won’t makethings happen the way you wantthem to, so if it’s possible, put off allimportant scheduled events until an-other day.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Beforeyou rely on any gossip, check outeverything yourself. Regardless ofhow long it takes to verify something,it’s vital that you don’t take at facevalue what is being said.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If yourresources aren’t being prudentlymanaged, there is a chance you couldrespond in a way that could be costlyat a later date. Take time to figurethings out.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Even if youknow what changes need to be imple-mented concerning your family, youcould let haste push you into makinga major gaffe. Slow down and thinkcarefully before you upset the applecart.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Youshould take care not to allow youremotions to influence your judgment.The way things are in the real worldand the way you perceive them couldbe galaxies apart.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) —Although,many times, business can mix verycomfortably with social arrange-ments, this will not be so at present.Do all that you can to keep the twoseparated.COPYRIGHT 2011 UNITED FEA-TURE SYNDICATE, INC.

Chapter Five:Arriving in Gallinas“Coronado and his men

visited many villages insearch of the seven cities ofgold. Starving and tired, theywould sometimes force theirway into the villages and takewhat they needed.”

– Coronado and theGolden Cities

Karol, Hector and Felixwalked side by side into thetown of Gallinas. Tired andhungry, the trio marched on,determined to find the treas-ure.

“All right, navigator,”Karol teased. “Which way?”

“Um, well, let me think,”Hector searched their sur-roundings. A row of busi-nesses lined Main Street,very much like Corona. Butthis town was bigger.

“Look!” Felix pointeddown the street. “They have atheater!”

“And a bowling alley!”Karol added.

“Shhh … listen!” Hectorsaid, tilting his head. “Doyou hear that?”

It took a minute for Felixand Karol to hear it.

“Ah, it’s the merengue!”Karol announced, with a lit-tle bit of a dance motion.

“What’s that supposed tobe?You feeling OK?” Hectorlaughed.

“Shut up, Hector,” Karol’s

cheeks turned a dark shade ofred.

“I was just playing withyou,” Hector apologized.“You’re actually prettygood.”

“Let’s go see where themusic is coming from,” Felixsaid, heading toward the cen-ter of town.

“Over there, at the park!”Hector was the first to spotthe crowd. “It looks like aparty!”

They walked until theywere at the edge of the park.The smell of burritos, enchi-ladas, beans and salsa madeits way to the hungry trio.They could see decorationsand a large piñata hangingfrom a tree branch.

“I’d give my right arm fora burrito about now,” Hectorsaid, licking his lips.

“I’d give my giant, purple,swollen ankle for just onetaco!” Felix joined in.

“I’d give both of you awayfor one single tortilla chip!”Karol laughed. And beforethey knew what had hap-pened, she was in the middleof the party. She was laugh-ing and talking and pointingback to the two dirty, tiredand slightly starving boys.

“What do you think she’sdoing?” Felix whispered.

“Well, I think she’s earn-ing her tortilla chip!” Hectorquickly answered as Karolreturned.

“OK, you two, let’s go!”She motioned toward theparty.

“I knew it! You sold us,didn’t you!” Hector said,pointing an accusing fingerin her face.

“No, genius! That’s myAunt Rosa and my cousins.They invited us to come andeat.”

“Thanks, Karol!” bothboys said over their shoulder,heading to the picnic tables.

“So, Felix,” Tia Rosabegan, “Karol said you’vebeen reading about theexplorer, Coronado.”

“Yes ma’am, that’s right,”Felix could barely speak,with both cheeks full of food.He tried to reach into hisbackpack to show her thebook and spilled his plate.“Thanks again, unluckybell,” he said under hisbreath.

“Here, Felix, use this,”Karol handed him a napkin.

“You should meetDemetri – he’s kind of anexplorer,” Rosa said. “He’soriginally from Russia andhas been in the United Statesfor about a year. He’s a taxidriver.”

Rosa walked Felix over toan unusual-looking man. Hewore a brightly colored shirt,leather sandals and had along, gray ponytail.

“How in the world canyou make any money as ataxi driver out here in themiddle of nowhere?” Felixasked, trying not to soundrude.

“Ah, young man!”Demetri said in a loud, strongRussian voice. “That’s whatmakes it exciting! I neverknow who I’ll meet or whereI’ll go. Every day is a newadventure for me and mycompanion, Misha!” His

voice echoed across the parkand his arms swung aroundthe whole time he spoke.

“It was nice meeting you,Demetri,” Felix said, slowlybacking away from the loudman. “But my friends and Ihave a treasure to find.”

“Good luck on youradventure,” Demetri bel-lowed.

“Same to you!” Felix said,shaking Demetri’s big,sweaty hand.

“Thank you very much forthe amazing food!” Felix toldRosa.

“You’re welcome. Butpromise me that next timeyou’re coming to Gallinas,you’ll give me a call. I’d behappy to pick you up,” Rosasaid, hugging Karol good-bye.

And they were once againwalking down Main Street,with full bellies and renewedexcitement.

“Are we almost there?”Karol asked, when it seemedas if they were approachingthe other end of town.

“No, we’re not almostthere,” Hector said. “We arethere!” He stopped in front ofa large brick building. Theystood looking up at the bigsign hanging on the front,and they all knew that theyhad finally arrived.

explaining why people would wantto dress like that person.

• Everyone knows thatHalloween means candy, candy,candy. Candy names are fun toread because they use language infunny ways. Pick a few of yourfavorites from Halloween ads in thenewspaper. As a class discuss why

you like the names. Then write anoutline for using the names in aHalloween story. Explain how youmight use the names to describepeople, events or action in yourtale.

• Holidays of all kinds give busi-nesses a way to draw attention tothings they want to sell. Lookthrough the ads in today’s newspa-per and make a list with class-mates of ads offering Halloweensales, deals or specials. Pick outand discuss the ones you think arethe most creative. Then design yourown creative Halloween ad.

Choose on item and figure outhow you could make a costume ofthe item. Then draw a picture ofyourself in that costume and labelall the parts.

• “Alphabet Monster.” Kids takea page of the newspaper and, witha crayon, circle an example of eachletter of the alphabet.

Have them turn the page inany direction until they see a “mon-ster” on the page. It then becomesa writing exercise when theydescribe the monster, how he/she/itcame to be, is it a good/bad mon-ster, etc. Older kids can do this andactually turn it into a short storythey read to younger students. Highschool students can create wholebooks to send to elementaryschools, etc.
