The Columbus Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/2bGpIXJ ) that the Franklin County jury deliberated for about a day and a half before voting 6-2 Friday in favor of the defendant.
State Rep. John Barnes, of Cleveland, had claimed that the state party knowingly made false statements about him in campaign mailings to Democratic voters as part of an unsuccessful attempt to defeat him in the 2014 primary election.
The lawsuit was filed in December 2014. It named the political party and its outgoing chairman, Chris Redfern, as defendants.
Common Pleas Judge David Cain had dismissed Redfern from the lawsuit in April, finding that he wasn’t personally liable in the case.

Since that exciting announcement, I’ve been asked by several individuals, “Why do we need a third fire station if our population has not increased significantly and our commercial and industrial bases have similarly not seen significant growth?”
First, the discussion about the need for a third fire station has been ongoing since 1994. Since that time, Sidney’s demographics have changed considerably. Sidney’s footprint has increased by 1,599.308 acres, our population by 1,752 people, and the number of employment opportunities by 5,876 jobs. In fact, every day Sidney’s population increases by more than 5,000 as employees come into the city for employment!
The discussion about an additional fire station continued, and during the 2008 biennial city council retreat, the third station was prioritized as city council’s number two goal. In each of the sessions since (2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016), the station has remained on council’s list of priority goals.
Following council’s 2008 session, a Community Risk Assessment & Standard of Cover analysis was completed using a template developed by the Commission on Fire Accreditation International. That analysis was presented to council by then Fire Chief Stan Crosley in March 2009.
This marked the first time in the Sidney Fire Department’s history that an open and true comparison of the department’s performance against national standards and criteria had been attempted. The 2009 analysis was updated by Fire Chief Brad Jones in 2014. In addition, the Insurance Service Organization (ISO) 2002 external study was updated in 2012.
These various studies provided data and statistical information that is revealing. Fire Station One, located downtown, serves an area one and one-half times greater than Fire Station Two, which is located on Vandemark Road. In addition, Fire Station One is protecting three times the number of dwelling units and handling three times the number of calls for service.
An analysis of response time, the time required for call processing, turnout and travel, also revealed system weaknesses. For fire calls, the national standard allows a total of 7 minutes and 30 seconds response time. That includes 90 seconds for call processing, 60 seconds for turnout, or the time it takes for the responders to outfit themselves with the proper clothing and equipment for the call, and five minutes for travel time. The national standard states that departments should strive to meet these time objectives for 90 percent of all incidents.
When the travel time portion of Sidney’s overall response time was broken down by incident response area it was found that the department was meeting the travel time standard only 55 percent of the time in several the city’s northern individual response areas. The report revealed that the department was meeting or exceeding the response time standard in all other areas of the community. The study clearly demonstrated the increased need for an additional fire station.
Another factor the department considered in its evaluation is the continuing residential growth in the north and northeast areas of the community. This residential expansion brings with it another hazard to firefighting. New homes burn up to eight times faster than old homes. Research shows that 30 years ago, homeowners had more than 15 minutes to escape from a burning home. With the materials used in new construction, the amount of time residents have to escape a burning home has been cut to less than four minutes!
This fact was initially difficult for all members of council to understand. It is important to realize that new home construction includes manufactured wood and other lightweight, energy efficient materials that were not used even 40 years ago. Fires in modern homes burn hotter and faster than they did 40 years ago, meaning victims have less time to escape a burning house.
Flashover — the point when intense heat causes an entire room to become engulfed in flames — occurs in homes recently constructed less than five minutes after a fire starts. I live in a home that was constructed prior to 1870. Flashover in a home of that vintage can take 30 minutes or longer. People in homes of newer construction have far less time to get out of a burning house, even if their smoke alarms have alerted them to the fire. In fact, most of the homes in the areas of the city with the greatest response times are homes of newer construction.
The 2009 study also utilized a fire analysis tool to develop planning maps for the location of a potential third fire station. The analysis revealed five ideal locations to meet the national fire response standards. The location purchased is very near one of the exact locations identified, and clearly the time to purchase property is when it is for sale. The property on Wapakaoneta Avenue was available, and the strategic decision to purchase the land was made.
The land purchase for the vital third fire station is the first step in a multi-step process. As much as we might like to begin construction of a new station immediately, a long-range financial plan must be developed to cover the staffing and equipment needs necessary for a third station.
A goal without a plan is nothing more than a wish. As one of my favorite authors (Mark Twain) once wrote: “The secret to getting ahead is getting started. The secret to getting started is breaking complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, then getting started on the first one.”

Ted Strickland fails to get traction against incumbent Republican Sen. Rob Portman in the critical swing state.
The Senate Majority PAC, Strickland’s single largest source of outside support, has spent $10 million on the former governor’s behalf but is now canceling major buys set to run the second week of September, according to an official with knowledge of the developments who requested anonymity because the information was not public.
That follows a similar move by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee for the same time frame, as reported by the Washington Post.
In both cases the groups are delaying their ad spending, not pulling out entirely, and could readjust and decide to invest more in the race. However, the developments clearly signal Democratic unease with the state of affairs in Ohio, where Strickland has struggled and is getting outspent while Portman runs a strong and disciplined campaign for a second term.
“We regularly adjust strategy to maximize our resources and make sure we’re in the best possible position to win back the majority this November,” said Senate Majority PAC spokesman Shripal Shah.
Democratic woes in Ohio are all the more striking given that Hillary Clinton is slightly ahead of Donald Trump in most polls. Democrats viewed Ohio is a prime pickup opportunity in their quest to retake Senate control and celebrated luring Strickland into the race, but the aging former governor has run an underwhelming campaign.
Democrats can retake control of the Senate if they hang onto the White House and pick up four Senate seats.
Details of the cancellations by the Senate Majority PAC included $163,000 scheduled in Columbus from Sept. 6-19 and $23,000 in Dayton, the official said. | http://sidneydailynews.com/wire/state-wire/41990/national-democratic-groups-delaying-ads-in-ohio-senate-race-3 | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | sidneydailynews.com/1a6c7bb4dda81601c96cced23fbcb6421c26c4e505cc57fd387bfa9155fe4fc6.json |

According to Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart, the Sheriff’s Office and Bureau of Criminal Investigation were conducting the eradication and found several marijuana plants at 10320 Black Fox Trail in the village. While the deputies and BCI agents were en route to the residence, a man was seen outside attempting to cut down the marijuana plants.
After arriving at the residence, the man was identified as Brett Edwards, 51, and a woman, also living at the residence was identified as Kelly Mossburg, 52.
Deputies located 64 marijuana plants on the property. The street value of the plants was estimated at $128,000.
Due to the large amount of marijuana plants located on the property, a search warrant was obtained for the residence. Once inside the residences, deputies and agents located a clandestine meth lab and approximately 100 times bulk amount of methamphetamine was seized.
The case remains under investigation.

During the fourth year of her undergraduate education, she’ll take first-year law school courses designed to count toward both degrees, allowing her to trim a year — and an estimated roughly $30,000 — off the two-degree sequence.

FORT LORAMIE — Only an extra point kick stood between the Fort Loramie Redskins and an opening-night victory over the Minster Wildcats Friday night.
But Minster, after giving up a tying touchdown with under a minute to play, broke through and blocked the point-after to send the game to overtime. And the Wildcats got a 1-yard run from quarterback Jared Huelsman to pull out a 26-20 thriller in a game that ended after midnight thanks to a two-hour lightning delay.
Minster led 20-14 with :30 left in the second quarter when the game was suspended because of lightning.
Minster scored first on a short run by Jared Huelsman but Loramie responded with a 31-yard scoring strike to Jake Ward for a 7-6 lead.
Minster came back with a 54-yard TD pass from Huelsman to Jonny Niemeyer, but Loramie scored again on a 47-yard pass from Austin Siegel to Ward.
Minster then put up another score on a pass from Huelsman to Niemeyer to give the Wildcats the lead at 20-14.
There was no more scoring until less than a minute remained. That’s when Siegel hit Cody Gasson on a 24-yard pass down the middle to tie it up. It could go in the books as a TD pass or a fumble recovery, because Gasson lost the handle a bit after making the catch, but came up with the ball in the endzone.
The key play in overtime was a diving catch by Bryce Schmiesing on third-and-10 to give the Wildcats first-and-goal.
Huelsman, trying to fill the big shoes of graduated quarterback Josh Nixon, had a big game, rushing for 211 yards on 30 carries. He also completed six passes for 130 yards, four of them to Schmiesing.
Loamie’s Jake Ward carried 27 times for 128 yards and also caught four passes.
Siegel was 6-for-16 for 5 yards.
Fort Loramie is at defending state champion Fort Recovery Friday. Minster is home to face Lehman.
Sidney-St. Marys
ST. MARYS — After a lengthy lightning delay, the Sidney Yellow Jackets drove 99 yards for the go-ahead score with four minutes remaining, but couldn’t stop the St. Marys Roughriders, who scored with a minute to play to win 43-39 and beat Sidney for the third year in a row.
The Yellow Jackets actually led 33-14 at one point in the third quarter, only to have the Roughriders reel off 22 unanswered points to take the lead at 36-33 before the game was suspended. It resumed at 10:30 Friday night.
Sidney will stay at home Friday night to try to even its record at 1-1 when Bellefontaine comes to town.
Junior running back Isaiah Bowser rushed for 109 yards on 16 carries for the Jackets, and quarterback Andre gordon added 50 yards on the ground.
Gordon cdompleted 7 of 16 passes for 285 yards and three touchdowns, with Conor Beer his favorite receiver. He caught four passes for 112 yards.
Sidney had 439 total yards to 395 for the Roughriders.
Anna-Arlington
ARLINGTON — Anna rolled to a victory in its season opener Friday, routing 28-0 in the fourth quarter in action at Arlington Friday night.
The Rockets will return home Friday against Brookville.
Anna got outstanding games from running back Aiden Endsley and quarterback Travis Meyer. Endsley carried 25 times for 123 yards and a touchdown, and Meyer completed 12 of 22 passes for 222 yards and a score. He also ran in for a touchdown.
Riley Huelskamp carried seven times for 82 yards and a touchdown, and Wyatt Bensman caught a touchdown pass.
“We finished a couple of drives like we needed to,” said Anna coach Nick Marino. “And I think our conditioning paid off at the end. Our ofensive line picked up their blitzes decently and our defense did a pretty good job. It was a good way to start out the season.
Versailles-Celina
CELINA – The Versailles Tigers opened the season with a 13-7 come-from-behind victory on Friday night in Celina.
The Tigers trailed 7-0 at the half before outscoring Celina 13-0 in the second half.
The Tigers held the Bulldogs 127 total yards. The Versailles defense held Celina to four first downs in the game.
The Tigers ran for 187 yards and threw for 64 yards. Alex Wendel threw a touchdown pass to Keaton McEldowney. Garrett Thompson scored on and 80-yard run. Thompson finished with 127 yards on the night.
Celina scored on its second possession of the game. The Bulldogs went 80 yards, scoring on a 25-yard run.
The Bulldogs did not threaten the rest of the game, gaining only 47 yards on all other possessions.
With the game tied at 7-7, the Tigers took possession at their own 20 yard line. Thompson was stopped at the line, spun around, and a Celina defender tried to strip the ball. Thompson held on, turned up field and raced 80 yards for the go ahead touchdown. | http://sidneydailynews.com/sports/41523/minster-edges-loramie-in-ot | en | 2016-08-28T00:00:00 | sidneydailynews.com/9c13f0912778854a3e9a349689428fbdf6bc463c3d719fe527ed466c1bd5e77f.json |

The court ruled 4-3 Tuesday in favor of a man sued after his unsuccessful efforts to free another man whose leg was pinned between a truck and a loading dock in Fairfield.
Dennis Carter lost his leg after Larry Reese, the man trying to help him, inadvertently caused the truck to roll back and crush Carter’s leg.
Attorneys for Reese said he shouldn’t be held liable for the accident because Ohio’s good Samaritan law protects people trying to help in such circumstances.
Justice Terrence O’Donnell, writing for the majority, says the law applies to anyone providing emergency care or treatment, not just health care professionals. | http://sidneydailynews.com/wire/state-wire/41998/ohio-court-rules-that-immunity-law-covers-non-medical-help-2 | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | sidneydailynews.com/44792831dc44363cb1f9806165d5347839f6000aad4350e43df4225a99985378.json |

BEXLEY — Aja Miyamoto strolls into social functions now at the Capital University Law School like she’s one of the club. As a matter of fact, though Miyamoto is still a 19-year-old sophomore, she is. Through a special program, Miyamoto will earn both her bachelor’s and law degrees in a combined six years, rather than the usual seven. During the fourth year of her undergraduate education, she’ll take first-year law school courses designed to count toward both degrees, allowing her to trim a year — and an estimated roughly $30,000 — off the two-degree sequence.

Capt. Nutt (aka Allen) will talk about his experiences during the war, first as a three-month enlistee with the 15th Ohio Volunteer Infantry (OVI) and then as a member of the 20th OVI.
As a member of the 20th OVI, Nutt was promoted from private to sergeant in Company F, then to second lieutenant, then to first lieutenant and subsequently to captain. He was one of thirteen soldiers to earn a XVII Corps medal of honor during the Battle of Atlanta. Nutt led two charges against the Confederates on July 22, 1864, gaining ground both times. He then organized the defense of Bald Hill, holding the position until relief arrived just after midnight.
Nutt was severely wounded near Atlanta on Aug. 14. He recovered, and after the war, returned to Sidney, and throughout the remainder of his life, remained active in veteran’s organizations. He was active in the Neal Post 62, Grand Army of the Republic from the time of its founding, and served as its commander. He was also quite active in the affairs of the Ohio Department of the Grand Army of the Republic, and served as Department Commander, having been elected at the 29th Annual Meeting of the Ohio Department in Canton in 1894.
Nutt was also active in the 20th Ohio Volunteer Veterans Infantry organization, serving as its president. He hosted annual reunions of Companies B, F, K and I in Sidney, always on August 22 to celebrate the Battle of Atlanta. The invitations would always include the idea of bringing “family and friends” and encourage those coming to have “well-filled baskets, haversacks and canteens”.
Nutt was a successful businessman, husband and father. He married Arvesta Vandemark, and together they had six children, all of whom lived to adulthood. Both with his brothers and singularly, he engaged in the grain business, first in Pemberton with his brother William with whom he had served in the war, then in Sidney with Isaac Newton and John M. Together they owned the Old Stone Bridge Warehouse, a business he operated after his brothers retired until the time of his death.
A member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Nutt was a Republican and took an active interest in political affairs. He was a candidate for state senator in 1897.
Allen has portrayed Captain Nutt previously. On June 20, 2013, during the Graceland Cemetery tour of Civil War veteran’s graves, Allen, portraying Nutt, wept when he told those on the tour of how he could not forget the sacrifice of the men under whom he served. The 20th OVI lost a total of 360 men during the Civil War, many of those killed in the Battle of Atlanta.
“I have the utmost respect for veterans,” Allen said. “They sacrifice in a way that only other veterans can truly understand – and the Civil War was unlike anything the world had ever witnessed – truly the first modern war. Men were being killed in numbers unimaginable today,” Allen continued.
“The 20th Ohio saw action in multiple theatres,” Allen said. “From the capture of Fort Donelson to Shiloh to Holly Springs to Port Gibson to Vicksburg to Atlanta to Sherman’s March to the Sea to the surrender of General Johnston’s Army to the Grand Review, the 20th witnessed so much history it is unfathomable.”
Allen portrayed Capt. Nutt again on July 17, 2014, when the Shelby County Historical Society observed the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Atlanta in an event at Brookside Park. In that event, Capt. Nutt was portrayed welcoming his men back to camp, wounded, devastated, and forlorn after participating in the darkest day of fighting that Shelby County has ever known. On July 22, 1864, more men from Shelby County were killed on the battlefield at Atlanta than on any other battlefield in the history of our county.
“Neil is a wonderful volunteer who has portrayed Captain Nutt extremely well at past events,” said Tilda Philpot, director of the Shelby County Historical Society. “He will certainly bring Capt. Nutt back to life for his audience and at the same time, help those in attendance better understand the terrible cost Shelby Countians paid during the Civil War.”
Allen’s presentation on Capt. E.E. Nutt’s wartime service is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 17, at 3:30 p.m. His appearance and other educational programs offered during the event will be held in a tent located at Kaiser Dell in Tawawa Park.
Although no Civil War battles were fought anywhere near Sidney, a considerable number of local men served in the Union Army during the Civil War. In fact, the 1860 Census records that Shelby County had a population of 17,493. Of that number 8960 were male, and a staggering 14 percent of them served in the Army during the war. Of those, 25.58 percent (326) died in the service of their country.
The Civil War Living History Weekend is slated to be held in Tawawa Park Sept. 17-18. The two-day event will include skirmishing between Confederate and Union troops, major battles fought both days, a number of educational presentations, a band concert Saturday evening, and church services Sunday morning. The event is being co-sponsored by the Shelby County Historical Society and the city of Sidney.

Herren strengthened the point by sharing his life’s story to a crowd of some 200 people at Lehman Catholic High School.
Now sober and drug free for the past eight years, Herren has established a program that allows more than 500 people a year to attend substance abuse rehab centers throughout the country at no cost. He makes 250 corporate and school presentations a year to educate people the harm that even a minor substance abuse can lead to total destruction.
It took being abandoned by his family and a long-lost faith to get back on the right track.
In 1994, Herren, as a high school senior in Fall River, Massachusetts, was named to the McDonald’s All-America team. The designation made him one of the most sought-after college prospects in the nation. He turned down offers to such places as Kentucky, Duke and Syracuse, to play at his father’s alma mater, Boston College.
However, despite his unrelenting denial then and for many years to come, Herren was already on the path to destruction.
“It started when I was 13-14 years old. I lived in a culture where drinking alcohol was accepted. That was my first experience and completely unnecessary,” Herren told the SDN prior to his presentation Thursday.
At the time, his father was a Massachusetts politician and his mother was highly involved in the corporate world in Boston. He said several generations of family members were well-respected and well-to-do. His actions would destroy it all.
While still in high school, marijuana soon entered the picture. During his prep playing days, an author followed his team for an entire season writing a book about their impact on the town. Of the 13 players on that team, Herren said that seven would eventually use heroin. He noted that over the years, all have become sober.
In 1994, as a freshman at Boston College, he was being considered to have his photograph on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine. Instead, he received a two-page photo layout inside the publication.
Following a large campus celebration honoring his arrival, he returned to his dorm room. He discovered his roommate and a highly-recruited freshman from the women’s soccer team using cocaine. Challenging his bravado, the woman goaded Herren into trying cocaine. He caved.
“I chose this over going out to dinner with my family that night. At the age of 18 I was a cocaine addict even though I told myself I would never do it again. I honestly thought I was above it all.”
Before playing, Herren failed a drug test for marijuana and cocaine use. On Nov. 25, 1994, in his first game, Herren scored 14 points in 21 minutes of playing time, but broke his wrist and was ruled out for the entire season. Herren failed two more drug tests for marijuana and cocaine use, and was expelled from the team and the university.
Back home with national media chronicling his failures, Herren had another door open.
The late legendary coach, Jerry Tarkanian, contacted him saying “I’m a fan of second chances and asked if I would like to go to Fresno State.” After sitting out a year due to NCAA rules, Herren scored 30 points in a nationally televised game. After that game, he would use one line of cocaine.
Notified the next morning that he would be drug tested, Herren said he knew while being tested his basketball career was over. Fresno officials gave him the option of going to rehab or being expelled once again, but he would have to face the cameras on ESPN and admit his use.
During his senior year at Fresno, Herren’s wife, Heather, became pregnant with their first child, Christopher, now 17. Despite his past, Herren became a second round draft pick of the Denver Nuggets.
Over the next few years, pain killers, heroin and alcohol abuse would consume his life. A short NBA career, including a stint with his hometown Boston Celtics, would lead to playing for teams in Europe. During this time, his substance abuse was out of control. He was spending up to $25,000 a month and taking 1,600 mg of OxyContin pain medication per day.
His last basketball salary disappeared when his $500,000 annual contract was lost when he quit a team in Italy due to training camp being secluded and being unavailable to his drug dealer.
Eventually, Herren became a “street junkie” scrounging anything he could to get drugs.
Herren said his life finally changed years later following the birth of his third child, Drew. He had been in a New York rehab center, through the sponsorship by former NBA star Chris Mullen and his wife, when Drew was being born.
Herren left the center to be with his wife, whom he said had been abandoned by her family and friends due to his behavior, and was all alone. Soon after the birth, Herren’s oldest son, then age 9, and his daughter, Samantha, 7, scurried into the hospital room. They barely recognized Herren.
Unable to fully cope, Herren left the hospital purchasing vodka and drugs. The next day, his wife banished him from their life. She was going to tell the children he had been killed in an auto accident, so they wouldn’t have to continue witnessing him in near-death experiences. He became suicidal.
For a reason he can’t explain, Herren drove back to the rehab center in New York. Met at the door by the counselor who told him he had just spoken to his wife. He agreed it was time for him “to die and be dead” if the children were ever going to have any positive lives. The counselor urged him to call Heather one last time to say goodbye and never contact them again.
It was late at night and they agreed he would make the call the next morning. Once back in his dorm room a childhood memory raced to the forefront.
Growing emotional before the crowd Thursday, he said as a child his mother took him to church every Sunday morning. He fought her every time, he said, also stating she was “taken by cancer way to soon in her life”.
Herren said he began thinking of his mother and her love for him in all aspects of his life.
“On Aug. 1, 2008, I went to my knees and began to pray about what I had done. That is my sobriety date. That’s when it all changed.”
The Herrens have now been married for 18 years and reside in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, with their children.
Herren told the SDN, “I thank God she stayed with me until I found my way back. We met in seventh-grade, so she knew me to the core long before the drugs. She always knew that side of me and I am truly blessed by her being in my life.”
He noted that his faith, family and peers in the recovery community inspire him to stay sober.
Directing comments and questions to both youth and parents in the crowd, he spoke of parents pushing academics in school. But when it comes to social behavior, “We tend to just turn our backs and hope nothing goes wrong.” He said parents also give their children too many “parachutes” in life for a soft landing referring to obtaining medical and emotional help, if things go wrong, instead of dealing with the problem direct.
He challenged students by asking them, “Why do you need something (drugs/alcohol) that cause you to be something you truly aren’t just to be around people you’ve know your whole life.”
He hopes that someday a “wellness” curriculum is created in schools for grades K-12 to help them deal with such issues, self-esteem and bullying.
In closing, Herren said, “Over the past eight years, the greatest gifts I can give my family is to be the same father I was eight hours ago. To be the same person my children knew yesterday and to be the same son, husband and friend all the time.”
The event was sponsored by Wilson Health, Shelby County United Way, City of Sidney Police Department, Orthopedic Associates of SW Ohio, P.T. Services Rehabilitation, Inc., Realty 2000 Group, and Shelby County Family and Children First Council/Help Me Grow.

The Columbus Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/2bUwzM1) the state Department of Job and Family Services warned the panel on Thursday that even a small recession would “render us insolvent.”
The agency says the state could increase employer taxes, levy a surcharge on businesses or suspend or lower benefit amounts.
Other possible changes include lengthening benefit wait periods or shortening the amount of time benefits can be received.
The committee of six appointed Republicans and two appointed Democrats was recently created after a bill aimed at resolving the system’s challenges stalled.

Faber, who co-sponsored the legislation to lift the limit for Ohio breweries, awarded Karm the gavel used during Senate session the day the bill was passed.
“Ohio is home to countless breweries and brewpubs, and it’s important that we equip these innovators and small businesses with the tools they need to compete,” said Faber. “We are committed to making Ohio a top state to open and operate a business and by lifting this restriction, small businesses like Hoppin’ Frog and many others will have room to grow or begin brewing in our state.”
The state had not changed the alcohol by volume limit since 2002, when it rose from 6 percent to 12 percent. The bill allows Ohio’s brewers to craft beers greater than 12 percent alcohol by volume if packaging states that the product is a high alcohol beer.
“It was a privilege to work on this issue with President Faber and the legislature. This is a big step forward for the brewery industry in Ohio, and we are very honored to receive this recognition,” said Karm. “To celebrate, we are throwing a weeklong party in our Tasting Room at Hoppin’ Frog Brewery and releasing our first beer above the old Ohio limit.”
Faber helped to champion the effort in the legislature to ensure that the state’s well-established craft beer industry remains ahead of the pack nationally and continues to provide jobs and opportunities for Ohioans.
Hoppin’ Frog Brewery is celebrating its 10-year anniversary this year and now distributes beer in 21 states and 18 countries. | http://sidneydailynews.com/news/business/41819/faber-visits-brewery-as-state-lifts-restrictions | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | sidneydailynews.com/160516fe9c6a3c20c4a9fed1a403b27bfbe2657eb6c4a7efe637b692ad0d9f86.json |

(AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich is endorsing Chris Sununu in the state’s tightly contested Republican gubernatorial primary, calling the executive councilor a pragmatic conservative in his own mold.
“I only have a couple years left in my term and my job now is to try to figure out who I can pass the baton too, the pragmatic conservative baton, so they can carry on with the next leg of the run,” Kasich said Monday.
Sununu is the only non-incumbent in a contested primary who the Ohio governor is endorsing, Kasich’s advisers said. The support raises Sununu’s visibility in the final weeks of a primary that’s flown largely under the radar. Sununu faces Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas, state Sen. Jeanie Forrester and state Rep. Frank Edelblut in the Sept. 13 primary.
Sununu said he’s “humbled,” to win the support of Kasich, given his record during two terms leading Ohio. Sununu did not endorse Kasich in the New Hampshire presidential primary, but his brother, former U.S. Sen. John E. Sununu did. The family ties seemed to play a large role in the endorsement.
“He understands what it takes to run a state, to do it in a compassionate sound way,” Sununu said of Kasich while accepting the endorsement.
The two campaigned in Exeter on Monday afternoon and were scheduled to attend an evening fundraiser in Boston.
Sununu said he’s a stronger candidate than his rivals because, as a business executive, he “lives and breathes” New Hampshire’s challenges every day. As chief executive of Waterville Valley ski resort, he said he understands the burden that comes from high health care and energy costs and what it takes to employ and pay hundreds of workers.
But his business has come under scrutiny recently, with published reports that a stake of Waterville Valley is held by out-of-state investors. Sununu has touted the resort as under local control, but the Union Leader reported a Virginia-based charity called SAFA Trust holds a share in the company. Sununu’s campaign confirmed that SAFA has a stake in the company.
Sununu said Monday all of Waterville’s investors are friends, family and locals. Sununu’s campaign said Yaqub Mirza, an executive of the charity, is a longtime Sununu family friend. | http://sidneydailynews.com/wire/state-wire/41793/kasich-backs-sununu-in-tight-gop-primary-for-governor-2 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | sidneydailynews.com/a853c01b0854957010e8bd85ba8c574b0bda28fa764b060bb87ec7e4d25366a6.json |

(AP) — State and local elected officials have expressed concerns that the U.S. National Whitewater Center has reopened its channels less than two months after a rafter died from a brain-eating amoeba and with no new regulations in place.
The Charlotte Observer reported (http://bit.ly/2bH8325) State Sen. Joel Ford said he was “stunned” the center resumed rafting on Aug. 10. Ford, whose district includes the facility, also said state lawmakers had expected to reconvene in Raleigh this winter and consider requirements. Ford also told the newspaper that lawmakers believed the water channels would remain closed until next year and thus didn’t act immediately.
The center closed after 18-year-old Lauren Seitz of Westerville, Ohio, died on June 19 from an infection caused by an amoeba naturally present in warm fresh water. | http://sidneydailynews.com/wire/state-wire/41491/officials-concerned-over-whitewater-center-reopening-2 | en | 2016-08-28T00:00:00 | sidneydailynews.com/dbed7603ce800e040fb7e5041abd2063f81e7a893c9c884f61f2ac5a6bb3d124.json |

Three other football players were injured in the crash remain hospitalized.
Miles Laboy, 18, of Gaithersburg, Maryland, who was a passenger in the vehicle, died of his injuries at Miami Valley Hospital, Dayton. He had been ejected from the vehicle and was taken by CareFlight to the hospital.
According to Trooper Mark Murray, of the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) Piqua Post, driver Rashon Edwards, 19, of Cincinnati, and his passengers, Laboy, Dorian Hunter, 20, of Springfield, and Aikili Mosley, 24, of Los Angeles, California, were traveling from Michigan back to school at Wittenberg University in Springfield.
“In my interview with the driver, he said he fell asleep,” said Murray.
Wittenberg University released the following statement following Laboy’s death.
“The Wittenberg University community is mourning the loss of football student-athlete Miles Laboy, class of 2019 from Gaithersburg, Maryland, who was killed in a car accident on Monday, June 27, near Anna, Ohio,” said the release. “
According to the university, all four students are members of the Tiger football team. Head Coach Joe Fincham and Director of Athletics and Recreation Gary Williams, among other campus administrators and members of the Tiger football coaching staff, have been attending to the needs of the students and their families since learning of the accident.
A graduate of Avalon High School, Laboy had just completed his freshman year studying at Wittenberg and competing for the Tiger football team.
“This is a tremendously difficult time for everyone in the Wittenberg football family,” said Fincham, who has been involved in the program since 1990 and the head coach since 1996. “Our coaches, alumni and team members are focused on providing as much support as possible to the young men who survived the accident, and we join Miles’ family in grieving this terrible loss.
“Miles was an outstanding young man and a valued teammate with a bright future ahead of him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Miles’ family and friends.”
Edwards is a graduate of St. Xavier High School who recently completed his freshman year. Mosley is a graduate of University High School in Los Angeles and a former student-athlete at Pasadena City College who recently completed his first year at Wittenberg. Hunter is a graduate of Springfield High School who transferred to Wittenberg after studying and playing football at the University of Findlay in 2014 and 2015.
“On behalf of Wittenberg University’s Department of Athletics, I wish to express our deepest sympathies to Miles’ family and friends,” Williams said. “Please keep his family and our coaches and student-athletes in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. We will continue to do everything we can to assist our four young men and their families. Wittenberg is, and always will be, a community that cares, and we are keeping all those involved in our thoughts and prayers.
“I have been asked by Miles’s family to say how much they appreciate the outpouring of love and support that has come from members of the university community. It is important at this time that we respect the family’s privacy, while also supporting their needs in any way possible.”
Funeral arrangements for Laboy will be announced at a later date.
According to Murray, Laboy, who was in the front passenger’s seat, and Hunter, who was in the middle row seating behind the driver, were both ejected from the vehicle. Mosley was riding in the third row seating on the left side and was “possibly” ejected.
“The driver had a seat belt on,” said Murray. “Laboy and Hunter were not wearing seat belts. I’m unsure about Mosley as I haven’t been able to talk to him yet.”
Laboy and Hunter were taken by CareFlight to Miami Valley Hospital, Dayton. Hunter is in stable/critical condition.
Edwards and Mosley were both transported to Lima Memorial Hospital via ambulance. Mosley, who suffered a broken arm, has been treated and released. Edwards, said Murray, is in stable condition and is expected to be transferred to a hospital in Cincinnati.
“Edwards suffered chest and shoulder bruising from the seat belt, which was holding him in the vehicle,” said Murray. “Without the seat belt, he would have been ejected too.”
At approximately 12:30 p.m., the 2002 Green Ford Explorer was travelling south on Interstate 75 at milepost 98, just south of Anna, when the vehicle drifted off the left side of the road, overturned, and ended up off the right side of the road of northbound lanes.
Emergency crews from Anna, Botkins, Sidney, and Minster were on scene along with representatives from the Ohio Department of Transportation to assist with the clean-up and traffic control. In addition, several by-standers offered their assistance to the occupants while first responders arrived on scene, according to the OSHP press release.
The crash however it remains under investigation, said Murray. Charges are pending against Edwards, which will probably include failure to control and possibly more since Laboy has died. Once the investigation is complete, investigators will consult with the Shelby County Prosecutor’s Office to determine appropriate charges.
The northbound lanes of Interstate 75 were blocked for approximately three hours while the injured were treated and the scene was cleared of a large amount of debris.
The Piqua Post of the Ohio Highway Patrol is investigating a one-vehicle accident at the 98 milepost on Interstate 75 Monday afternoon around 12:30 p.m. Miles Laboy, 18, Gaithersburg, Maryland, and Dorian Hunter, 20, Springfield, were taken by CareFlight to Miami Valley Hospital, Dayton. Laboy died of his injuries at the hospital. Driver Rashon Edwards, 19, Cincinnati, and passenger Akili Mosley, 24, Los Angeles, California, were taken to Lima Memorial Hospital via an ambulance. Mosley was treated and released. Edwards is in stable condition and expected to be transferred to a Cincinnati hospital.

To Cockrell, that certificate is years and years of perseverance.
“I’ve done it a hundred thousand times. You just don’t quit. The only time you quit is when you’re dead,” she said.
Cockrell is a recent graduate from Samaritan Works Inc., a non-profit non-denominational faith-based recovery program in Sidney. She spent about six months in the residential program, living at the Amelia House, starting her triumph and recovery from addiction.
Now she is continuing with the program and lives in their recently purchased Horizon Home for graduates.
Cockrell’s story begins in Union City, Ohio.
“I was a farm girl. I was involved in all sports and really athletic,” she said. She played softball for 13 years and made the varsity teams as a freshman in high school.
“I hung out with the preppy crowd until I got my license, then I started drinking a little bit. Then when I was 17 I started going to the bar and smoked my first joint,” Cockrell said.
When she started smoking, it changed the whole crowd she hung out with. Around this time she met a man who was 20 years older than her.
“He told me to come over one day. It was Jan. 3, 1986,” she recalled with a chuckle. “I will never forget the day. … We were sitting on the couch, and we had been talking. He said, ‘I’ve got something I want you to try. You never have to try it again, just try it.’”
They went into the bathroom and he brought a needle.
“I didn’t know anything. I had no clue that was going to be me off to the races for years,” Cockrell said.
She did cocaine that day and didn’t go home for four months. Then she moved to Florida and was introduced to crack, and met her oldest son’s father.
At this time she was around 19 years old, and got pregnant with her first son, and they moved back home to Union City.
“We would binge use cocaine, sell weed, and then we went to truck driving school,” she said.
She wasn’t able to complete it because her eyesight was too bad, but he did, and they ended up in Michigan in about 1990 for his work, but he was abusive so it didn’t work out. At this point she was lost.
“I thought ‘What do I do now?’ Because my white picket fence stuff didn’t work for me,” Cockrell said.
After she got divorced she lived with her dad for a while. That’s around the time she got pregnant with her youngest son.
“I was using like crazy. I did not want to be pregnant. Dad was watching my other son most of the time, so I knew I wasn’t responsible enough to have another.”
Her second son was born healthy even though she said she did everything wrong when she was pregnant with him. At this time she was also in another abusive relationship, and got in trouble for the first time.
“I just left and ran for three years. Leaving my oldest with my dad and taking the younger with me. We moved back down to Florida, this time to Daytona. That’s where I started prostituting at,” she said.
At this same time Cockrell also learned she had contracted Hepatitis C.
Eventually she got tired of supporting their habits, because her son’s father couldn’t keep a job with the using, so she left them in a motel room, where they often lived, and went running for the next two and a half years.
She then met a guy and moved to Los Angeles. She had only lived there a couple months when she got bitten by a brown recluse spider and begged her parents to send her a bus ticket home. On her way home on the bus she got off at Amarillo, Texas, because she was tired of being on the bus.
She stayed out there for the next two and a half years and met some people who she is still friends with today. At this point she was doing meth, she said. But she met a guy who told her if she got her stuff together they’d get married, so that’s what she did.
“We moved back home. I got a job. I was going to counseling. At this point I thought as long as I wasn’t doing meth, or smoking crack, or shooting coke, that I’m okay, I can still drink at this point,” she said. “Got married. He was driving truck and making excellent money. I was clean for six months, then I ran into some old friends.”
That’s when she relapsed on crack.
“I went to treatment at that point to try to save my marriage. I didn’t understand I needed to do it for me at this point. That was 1997,” she said. “We did not get back together. I met a guy in treatment and moved in with him. And that is when I would say recovery began.”
In 1997 she met Merricle Herzog, someone who would prove to be a long-lasting friend and supporter in Cockrell’s road to recovery.
“We lived with Merricle and her boyfriend for a while. Then we got a house, I got my kids back, I was going to meetings,” she said.
Then, some medicine she was taking started making her sick and depressed. This is when she stopped going to her meetings and stopped doing what she needed to do, Cockrell said. She was living in Troy at this time.
“At this point I was really struggling to not use,” she said. “It was November. Thirteen days from my two years. I was laying there one night and I decided I couldn’t do it anymore, and so I went and got high.”
Then 13 days later she got clean again, then relapsed and did this back and forth for a few years. Then she went on a binge and got in trouble. This was 2002.
“I completed drug court in Miami County. Then I relapsed. My husband called my job and told them, told everybody. My parents came and picked up my kids,” she said. “It was just overnight I relapsed and I came home to nothing. I had to leave, he wanted his ring back, and the kids were gone, in one night. Then I had no place to go.”
She moved home for a short while, then moved to Piqua with her youngest son. She started back to her meetings and working the steps with her sponsor.
“Then I thought I wanted to move back home again with mom and dad. Wrong answer. I went back there, met someone, and I was off to the races from 2004 to last year,” Cockrell said.
From 2012 to when she moved to Dayton in 2015 she was in and out of prison for theft, trafficking and a probation violation.
“Throughout all the chaos of my life I always stayed in touch with Merricle. And even down last year in Dayton, even though I was high, I was hanging out in an AA fellowship club because even though I couldn’t stay clean, I knew there was hope somewhere,” Cockrell said.
So she spent the majority of last year in and out of treatment facilities, but just couldn’t make it.
“On Dec. 6, I was done. With life. Period. I only had to wait 10 more days for a bed at Morningstar. I was so done, though, so I overdosed on purpose,” she said. “I woke up in the hospital mad as hell. I did not want to live that way anymore.”
But she stayed in there for 30 days, they detoxed her, she had to have gallbladder surgery, and then she talked with Merricle again, the house manager at the Amelia House.
“She came to visit me and told me, ‘I talked to Jeremy (the director of Samaritan Works). You don’t have to go to Morningstar unless you want to. You can if you want to, but we’re going to hold a bed for you. If you feel you’re ready you can come up here,’” Cockrell said.
So Merricle picked her up and brought her up to Sidney to the Amelia House to complete the Samaritan Works Inc. recovery program.
“I was going to say I don’t know where I’d be without this program, but I know exactly where I’d be. I’d be dead,” she said.
She will be clean and sober for nine months on Sept. 6. She keeps track of the minutes and seconds on her phone.
“Things didn’t really mean as much to me when I was out there using, as they do now that I have a son that’s a heroin addict. And I’ll be dammed if I ever let this disease beat me ever again,” she said. “I finally joined the no matter what club. I don’t care what I go through. If my son were to die, I would so much rather be clean, and be there, because I wouldn’t be there if I was out using.”
Her oldest son is now 28, and in jail. Her youngest is 23, has a job, home, and baby on the way. He doesn’t talk to her, but she said that’s okay.
“I go to meetings four, five, six times a week. I just found an awesome church. I still don’t feel like I deserve all this. There are people who have 20 years clean and don’t have as nice a place as this. So I appreciate Lisa, and everybody at Samaritan Works for believing in me when I couldn’t believe in myself.”
She’s started working on a peer support specialist certificate, and has been attending counseling, meetings, and even shared her story at a community meeting about heroin use at Holy Angels in May. She hangs out with her sponsor and goes to NA functions. She said it was hard to get away from the lifestyle: the easy, fast money. But as long as you go to meetings, get a sponsor and work the steps, anybody can do this, she said.
“Relapse is unfortunately part of recovery. But that’s how we learn from our mistakes. Everyone deserves a second chance, even two or three. I’ve had millions of chances. And that is what this program is about. If you mess up they’ll give you a second chance. But just don’t use no matter what. If you do, get back up. Hold your head up.”

The iBook, available through the Apple Store at no cost, is titled “Ohio: Pathway to the Presidency.” The book features five chapters including detailed biographical information on the eight former U.S. Presidents to have called Ohio home and information on why Ohio is so important in the race to the White House.
“It’s important that we have an engaged and educated electorate, especially in Ohio where the hopes of presidential candidates rise and fall,” Secretary Husted said. “We want people to register, we want people to be involved and we want people to vote. This is a new and innovative way we can approach our young people and lay the groundwork for civic engagement among Ohio’s future decision-makers.”
Chapters of Ohio: Pathway to the Presidency include:
Chapter 1: A Look Back includes biographical information about the eight Ohioans to have ascended to the nation’s highest office, making the Buckeye State known as “The Mother of Presidents.”
Chapter 2: Electing a President teaches the reader about the Electoral College and includes an interactive map to display historical Ohio election results and how those results drove the outcome of national elections. This chapter also displays information on how eligible Ohioans can participate in Ohio elections.
Chapter 3: Ohio Demographics/Overview gives the reader the opportunity to learn more about the makeup of Ohio so they can better understand how the Bellwether State is composed.
Chapter 4: 2016 Presidential Election will eventually display information about all Major and Minor Political Parties, independent and write-in candidates who are on the ballot in Ohio as presidential candidates. Information will include personal and professional background information about the candidates. This update will be added after the form of the 2016 General Election ballot is certified by the Secretary of State.
Chapter 5: Election night Live Feed will display a live election result feed on November 8th where users can track election results as they become available to officials.
Ohio: Pathway to the Presidency includes several quizzes so the reader can test how much they’ve learned after each chapter.
Husted was joined at the launch of Ohio: Pathway to the Presidency by Todd Kleismit of the Ohio History Connection. The group provided historical documents that are now viewable in the iBook as well as assisted with gathering and fact-checking information on Ohio’s eight presidents.
“We are so pleased that Secretary Husted asked the Ohio History Connection to partner with his office on Ohio: Pathway to the Presidency iBook,” said Todd Kleismit, director of community and government relations for the Ohio History Connection. “The educational components are excellent and I am confident that Ohio students will enjoy using the iBook as they learn more about Ohio history, voting and why being an informed and engaged citizen is so important.”
The iBook was authored at no cost to the taxpayer through a partnership between Secretary of State staff and Jason LaMar of Columbus State Community College. LaMar is also an Apple Distinguished Educator and designed the iBook. The Apple Distinguished Educator program works to make a positive impact on education and learning around the world through the use of technology.

VERSAILLES — Versailles High School junior basketball standout Justin Ahrens announced via Twitter on Saturday that he has committed to play for coach Thad Matta and the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Ahrens tweeted on Saturday “Blessed to announce that I will be attenting The Ohio State University!!”
Ahrens just recently received the scholarship offer from OSU and it was the first from one of the NCAA’s power conferences.
He told the Columbus Dispatch after getting the offer that, “Coach Matta was saying today that the past year or two have been a little down and he’s been getting away from his normal tactics, which are finding Ohio guys and getting guys who want to play for the name on the front and not the name on the back. That would be a great feeling to (represent) my state.”
Ahrens received his first scholarship offer in April from Stony Brook University. In June he received offers from Saint Louis University and the University of Toledo, and then in July he received offers from Oakland University and Miami University. In addition, much of the Big Ten, including Michigan State, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan, have been showing increased interest, according to The Dispatch.
The Versailles junior is rated as a three-star small forward and the fourth best prospect in Ohio for the class of 2018, according to 247sports.com. Scout.com also rates Ahrens as a three-star prospect.
The 6-foot-5 Ahrens helped guide the Versailles boys basketball team to a Midwest Athletic Conference championship last season, recording a team-leading 22.7 points per game as a sophomore. He also led the Tigers with 5.6 rebounds per game and was second on the team with 3.2 assists a game.
He was named third team all-Ohio in Division III by the Associated Press for the 2015-16 season.
Ahrens is the younger brother of Versailles graduate Kyle Ahrens, who is entering his second season at Michigan State University. As a freshman, he played in 26 games for the Spartans and averaged 1.2 points and 0.6 rebounds a game. | http://sidneydailynews.com/sports/41526/41526 | en | 2016-08-28T00:00:00 | sidneydailynews.com/4057633c8eeb9a9bba215d1b78be8d2b6aabb9b231b42f93b7bbb9054528cebc.json |

ST. MARYS — Sidney led 33-14 at one points but trailed 36-33 when the game was suspended with 9:36 left in the final period because of lightning.
It was a familiar scene to open the game, the Roughriders driving 85 yards for a touchdown and doing it all on the ground. It ate up nearly half of the opening quarter, the score coming with 6:09 left in the period.
Sidney picked up a first down in two plays on its first possession, then Andre Gordon completed a 62-yard touchdown pass, only to have it negated by a holding penalty. The Jackets were ultimately forced to punt and St. Marys took over on its own 36.
This time, however, Sidney recovered a Rider fumble and took over on its own 48. After Gordon rushed for eight yards, he was sacked for a five-yard loss. But Isaiah Bowser then broke looks and went for 45 yards and a touchdown on third-and-7. However, the PAT kick was wide so the Jackets still trailed 7-6 with 1:01 left in the quarter.
St. Marys then fumbled on the ensuing kickoff and Jack Feazel recovered on the Roughrider 27. Bowser then went 27 yards on third-and-10 to put the Jackets up 12-7, the extra-point kick again failing.
Gordon hit Conor Beer for a 77-yard scoring strike for a 19-7 lead, but again the kick was returned into Sidney territory, at the 33. St. Marys got into the endzone on a 1-yard run, but the Jackets responded with a 65-yard drive, the last 55 yards coming on a Gordon-to-Bowser pass on a broken play for a 26-14 lead. And that’s how the half ended.
Gordon then threw another TD pass to open the third quarter, but from that point, the Roughriders took over and were leading 36-33 with 22 straight points when the game was suspended.
FR 21, Lehman 20
SIDNEY — Lehman therew a scare into defending state champion Fort Recovery, but came up short in a 21-20 thriller at Sidney Memorial Stadium Friday.
The Cavaliers stunned the defending D-7 champs with a 71-yard scoring drive in just two plays to open the game. They increased the lead to 10-0 before the Indians regrouped and took a 14-10 lead at the half on a pair of touchdown passes by Toledo-bound quarterback Caleb Martin.
Jake Earhart went 20 yards on the first play of the game from the 29 for Lehman, the quarterback Elliott Gilardi kept the ball and went the rest of the distance for a 7-0 lead with 11:24 left in the opening quarter.
Lehman then held the Indians and when the Cavs got the ball back, Gilardi went 25 yards to Fort Recovery’s 35. The drive stalled, however, and the Cavs settled for a 33-yard Michael Denning field goal.
Lehman got one more shot at the endzone after picking off a pass at the FR 25. But the Cavs settled for another field goal attempt, and this one was wide.
The Indians scored the second of their touchdowns with under a minute to go in the half to take the lead.
The Cavaliers retook the lead on a fourth-down touchdown from Gilardi to Arnold for a 17-14 lead with 1:33 left in the third quarter. And the Cavs then recovered the ensuing kickoff deep in Recovery territory. On fourth-and-nine, the Cavs converted down to the two, but had to settle for a field goal and a 20-14 lead in the final period.
The Indians then drove to a score, with Will Homan going in from the one. The extra-point kick was good for a 21-20 lead.
Loramie-Minster
FORT LORAMIE — Minster led Fort Loramie 20-14 with :30 left in the second quarter when the game was suspended because of lightning.
Minster scored first on a short run by Jared Huelsman but Loramie responded with a 31-yard scoring strike to Jake Ward for a 7-6 lead.
Minster came back with a 54-yard TD pass from Huelsman to Jonny Niemeyer, but Loramie scored again on a 47-yard pass from Siegel to Ward.
Minster then put up another score on a pass from Huelsman to Niemeyer to give the Wildcats the lead at 20-14.
Anna 28, Arlington 0
ARLINGTON — Anna rolled to a victory in its season opener Friday, routing 28-0 in the fourth quarter in action at Arlington Friday night.
The Rockets will return home Friday against Brookville.
Anna got outstanding games from running back Aiden Endsley and quarterback Travis Meyer. Endsley carried 25 times for 123 yards and a touchdown, and Meyer completed 12 of 22 passes for 222 yards and a score. He also ran in for a touchdown.
Riley Huelskamp carried seven times for 82 yards and a touchdown, and Wyatt Bensman caught a touchdown pass.
“We finished a couple of drives like we needed to,” said Anna coach Nick Marino. “And I think our conditioning paid off at the end. Our ofensive line picked up their blitzes decently and our defense did a pretty good job. It was a good way to start out the season.

“This is the 18th consecutive year the City of Sidney has received the GFOA’s (Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada) Distinguished Budget Presentation Award,” City Manager Mark Cundiff said in a statement. “And Sidney is only one of 17 municipalities in Ohio to receive this award.”
The GFOA’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Awards program is the only national awards program in governmental budgeting. The award “reflects the commitment of the governing body and staff to meeting the highest principles of governmental budgeting.” Approximately 1,550 participants received the award for budgets beginning in 2015.
Guidelines for receiving the award assess how well the budget serves as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and a communications device. To receive the award, “budget documents must be rated ‘proficient’ in all four categories, and the 14 mandatory criteria within those categories.”
“The entire Finance Department, particularly Assistant Finance Officer Renee Dulaney, assisted greatly with the participation of the budget and deserve to share receiving this award,” said Finance Officer Ginger Adams in a statement after she was presented with the Distinguished Budget Presentation’s Certificate of Recognition. | http://sidneydailynews.com/news/41333/finance-department-wins-national-award | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | sidneydailynews.com/92b2d0c49d6d68dedf4fb9be334ac28101e4bea058523bfce01c943d6282fc72.json |

(AP) — In a central Indiana city where trees were sheared off at their stumps by one of several tornadoes in the region, residents began the hard work Thursday of cleaning up destroyed or damaged homes and businesses.
The EF3 tornado that swept through the south side of Kokomo, Indiana, on Wednesday afternoon packing winds as high as 152 mph toppled a Starbucks coffee shop and tore apart numerous homes. One of them belonged to 45-year-old Mark Martinez, who was out picking up his daughter from school and returned to find everything but the bedrooms on one side of his house destroyed.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence hugged and chatted with residents in a neighborhood where the damage seemed to skip some homes altogether. Pence credited quick thinking and early warnings of the approaching storm for the lack of serious injuries; Howard County Sheriff Steve Rogers said only 10 to 15 residents in the city 40 miles north of Indianapolis had minor injuries.
“It’s a miracle and it’s a testament to good common sense,” Pence said.
Cheryl Swyers said she huddled in a hallway closet with her 2-year-old granddaughter as the tornado struck.
“It sounded like it lasted forever, but I’m sure it wasn’t,” Swyers said. “The house shook. You could hear things flying around outside.”
Her house was spared from major damage. But the tornado demolished most of the home across the street belonging to Martinez, who left to pick up his daughter from school minutes before the tornado tore through.
When they returned, his daughter was distraught because their dog was still inside the rubble of the home. After some digging, Martinez found the dog alive.
Martinez said he hadn’t mentally processed the events.
“It’s crazy,” was all he could muster.
The Kokomo tornado was one of several that swept through central and northern Indiana and northwest Ohio on Wednesday.
In Ohio, damage was reported in four counties, including Van Wert County, where officials said at least two tornadoes touched down about 2 miles apart, tearing roofs off homes and flattening barns. A tornado warning also briefly stopped a KISS concert Wednesday night in Toledo, Ohio, though no twisters touched down in that city.
As of Thursday afternoon, the National Weather Service had confirmed that at least seven tornadoes hit Indiana during Wednesday’s outbreak, five of them in central Indiana and two others in northeastern Indiana. But surveys were continuing and the storm tally was expected to rise, said Mike Ryan, a weather service meteorologist in Indianapolis.
Some houses and farm buildings were damaged by storms in rural areas near Fort Wayne, Indiana, and the Montgomery County community of Mace, about 35 miles northwest of Indianapolis.
About 220 people stayed overnight in a temporary shelter in Kokomo, Mayor Greg Goodnight said Thursday. Police were restricting access to storm-damaged neighborhoods, saying residents must show identification to gain access.
Utility companies reported about 25,000 homes and businesses in the Kokomo area lost electricity from the storm, though power was restored to more than half by Thursday afternoon.
Heidi Otiker lives on a block that was hit Wednesday, as well as by a tornado in November 2013.
“It could have been far worse. God has a master plan. I believe this all happens for a reason. It sucks at the moment. Our houses and our material things can be replaced,” she said. “But this time, no fatalities, no injuries, and we are all still here.”

These are education enrichment programs that might not otherwise occur if not for our foundation’s support.”
Last year, 22 education based grants were funded to chamber member schools and organizations totaling more than $18,000. Recipients of these grants included Anna Schools, Botkins Schools, Hardin-Houston Schools, Sidney City Schools, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Gateway Arts Council, Shelby County Historical Society, Midwest Regional Educational Service Center, Lehman High School, Russia Schools, Jackson Center FFA, the Salvation Army, Catholic Social Services, and the Shelby County Libraries.

The seminar is designed for baby boomers, persons who have recently retired or those who are approaching retirement age, according to John Eikenberry of Eikenberry Retirement Planning, one of the presenters.
“We are holding this free educational seminar because so many retirees and those nearing retirement age do not understand how their Social Security benefits really work,” Eikenberry said. “And, most baby boomers do not understand the options available to them and what the recent changes to Social Security can do to their retirement plans already in place.”
Eikenberry and Nick Boeckman will present the seminars. Both are trained in the most up-to-date Social Security planning techniques and are members of a national educational program dedicated to providing its members with the latest Social Security planning tools.
Eikenberry said that many financial advisers may not understand how Social Security works or how retirement-age men and women need to plan to be able to best utilize their Social Security benefits.
“Deciding when to start taking Social Security benefits can have a tremendous impact on the amount of benefits an individual receives during his/her lifetime,” he said. “One of the easiest ways to understand your retirement is to imagine it as a carton of eggs — your nest eggs, so to speak. Deciding how to arrange your nest eggs and how to crack those nest eggs in the most beneficial order is what we are trying to teach baby boomers. We’re going to educate folks about their options and how those options can affect them positively and negatively.”
Eikenberry said other information that will be presented at the seminar includes the following:
• What the Social Security office doesn’t tell you.
• When it makes sense to delay benefits and when it does not.
• Why checking your earnings record for accuracy is important.
• How to coordinate your benefits with those of your spouse for maximum potential.
• Reducing or eliminating taxes on your Social Security retirement benefits.
• Ways to integrate your Social Security benefits with your overall retirement plan.
He said the seminar will also cover Social Security basics and will also reveal little-known strategies for maximizing Social Security benefits.
He stressed that the seminar is free and nothing will be sold. Because there is limited seating, advance registration is encouraged. To register, call 800-548-6511.

Donald Hicks Jr., 36, who appeared in Shelby County Common Pleas Court Wednesday, was originally charged in April with two counts of burglary, felonies of the second-degree, one count of possessing criminal tools, a felony of the fifth-degree, six counts of receiving stolen property, felonies of the fourth-degree, and one count of having weapons while under disability, a felony of the third-degree.
The original 10-count indictment accused Hicks of various firearm offenses, entering two different homes in Fort Loramie, and receiving various types of stolen property.
In June a plea agreement was reached. He entered a guilty plea to one count of burglary, a felony of the second-degree, one amended count of burglary to a third-degree felony, and the one count of having weapons while under disability, a felony of the third-degree. The rest of the charges were dismissed.
Hicks was facing 8 years in prison for count one, and 36 months each for counts two and three. He ended up being sentenced to 7 years in prison for count one and 30 months each for counts two and three. According to the plea agreement, the state was going to remain silent on the question of concurrent or consecutive sentences. Judge James Stevenson ordered consecutive, making Hicks’ total prison time 12 years.
Upon his release he will have to complete three years of mandatory community control.

The committee of six appointed Republicans and two appointed Democrats was recently created after a bill aimed at resolving the system’s challenges stalled in the legislature.
The Unemployment Compensation Reform Joint Committee held its first of five hearings on Thursday.
The Columbus Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/2bUwzM1 ) that state and independent analysts have long advised lawmakers that Ohio’s system was structurally imbalanced, failing to accrue enough reserves during times of low unemployment to cover benefits during recessions. Ohio, like other states, was forced to borrow from a federal loan fund to keep paying benefits during the economic downturn that began in 2007. The state has yet to pay off its debt.
Bruce Madson, assistant director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, told the joint committee at its Thursday meeting that the state could again have to borrow money to pay the jobless benefits should another economic decline arise.
“Even a small recession could render us insolvent,” Madson told lawmakers.
Madson said options to address the issue could include raising employer taxes, levying a surcharge on businesses, or freezing or lowering benefit amounts. Other possibilities include lengthening benefit wait periods or shortening the amount of time benefits can be received.
Eligible workers who lose their job through no fault of their own can get up to 26 weeks of unemployment benefits. To qualify, they must have earned a minimum weekly amount for 20 weeks. This year, that’s $243 a week.
Republican legislative leaders have said they hope to pass a reform bill when the General Assembly returns after the Nov. 8 election.

Seats, those attending Sidney, Ohio’s Civil War Living History Weekend will be introduced to Johnny Clem, an Ohio native who gained fame as a drummer boy for the Union Army during the Civil War. Seats, who will be a junior at Olentangy-Liberty High School this fall, has been active in historical reenactments since he was eight years old.
Seats began reenacting with a first person portrayal of Johnny Clem. When he grew older, Seats began doing third-person portrayals of the Ohioan who first became famous as Johnny Shiloh and later in the war as the Drummer Boy of Chickamauga.
John Joseph Klem was born in Newark, Ohio on Aug. 13, 1851. He ran away from home in 1861 when his mother was killed in a train accident. He first attempted to join the 3rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry, but was rejected because of his small stature and his age, and was sent home.
He then traveled to Cincinnati and attempted to join the 22nd Michigan Volunteer Infantry. They too, rejected him. Clem refused to leave camp, and eventually, he was “adopted” as a mascot and then as their drummer boy. The officers contributed to the $13 per month pay he would have received had he been old enough to enlist.
Clem had a number of close calls during the war, was wounded twice, and eventually became old enough to enlist. Clem eventually changed his name to John Lincoln Clem.
Clem remained in the Army, serving in the Spanish-American War. When he reached the mandatory retirement age of 64 in 1915, he was the last Civil War veteran still serving in the Army. On Aug. 13, 1915, he was promoted to brigadier general and retired. Just one year later, he was promoted to major general.
Seats was born and spent his early years in West Virginia, a state he is proud to point out, was “born during the Civil War.” He fell in love with history in part because of his grandfather’s influence.
“History has always been a major part of my life,” Seats said. “I used to sit with my grandfather and watch historical television shows and movies, and together we would read history books.
“When I speak, people ask me why it is important to learn about history,” Seats said. “History is a collection of stories and those stories help to guide us from the past to the present and on into the future. The stories are all interwoven – to know one it helps to know more of them. Without history and knowledge of the past, we can’t make change in the present and there’ll be no progress in the future.”
Seats enjoys rock climbing, cycling, mountain biking, and kayaking. In school, he participates in the Liberty Theatre Workshop, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and the Computer Aided Design Club. A member of the Sons of Union Veterans, he reenacts with Battery A, 1st Ohio Light Artillery and the 30th Ohio Volunteer Infantry.
Seats was returning from a Civil War event some years ago when he saw a group of uniformed re-enactors at the library, and convinced his parents to stop so that he could talk with them. After he spoke with them for a few minutes, they invited him to join them. He first joined the Rosecrans Headquarters Unit as a drummer boy, then developed his Johnny Clem presentation.
After he “outgrew” the portrayal of Johnny Clem, he developed presentations on the use of the telegraph in the Civil War, the life of a Civil War soldier, how West Virginia became the 35th state, the Irish in the Civil War, and Civil War era toys. He still speaks frequently about Johnny Clem through a third person narrative.
“I’ve known Payton since he began portraying Johnny Clem in the first person,” Elizabeth Topping said.
Topping is a member of the committee planning Sidney, Ohio’s Civil War Living History Weekend. Topping recommended that Seats be included as one of the speakers for the event.
“I’ve had the opportunity to watch him on several occasions and in fact, we were in the same reenacting unit some years ago. He knows more about Johnny Clem than anybody else I know,” Topping stated, “and does an outstanding job talking about this larger than life historical figure.”
Seats’ presentation on Johnny Clem is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 17, at noon. His appearance and other educational programs offered during the event will be held in a tent located at Kaiser Dell in Tawawa Park.
Although no Civil War battles were fought anywhere near Sidney, a considerable number of local men served in the Union Army during the Civil War. In fact, the 1860 Census records that Shelby County had a population of 17,493. Of that number 8960 were male, and a staggering 14 percent of them served in the Army during the war. Of those, 25.58 percent (326) died in the service of their country.
The Civil War Living History Weekend is slated to be held in Tawawa Park Sept. 17-18. The two-day event will include skirmishing between Confederate and Union troops, major battles fought both days, a number of educational presentations, a band concert Saturday evening, and church services Sunday morning. The event is being co-sponsored by the Shelby County Historical Society and the city of Sidney.

Lebanon city manager Pat Clements tells WLWT-TV (http://bit.ly/2bRIvy4 ) the problems started with a ladder truck that had to be taken out of service a few weeks ago due to mechanical failure. Documents show that Clements issued an emergency order to buy a new apparatus from Pierce Manufacturing.
Clements says officials knew the truck wasn’t going to fit into Station 41 or Station 42. The bay doors aren’t tall enough to fit standard height ladder trucks.
Clements says plans are underway to add additional tall doors on the back of Station 41 to allow for a drive-thru. One front bay will be modified to fit the new truck.

WEWS-TV reports (http://bit.ly/2bEp6iJ ) Avon Lake’s safety committee voted Wednesday to move forward with a moratorium that allows it to hold off on granting building permits or certificates permitting the cultivation, processing or sale of the drug for six months.
The move wouldn’t ban the use of prescribed medical marijuana.
Committee Chair David Kos says they don’t want to issue any permits they could regret and the move gives them some breathing room. He says the state law was put through without a lot of input from individual municipalities.
Brooklyn and Lakewood have also adopted similar moratoriums. Those cities say they need more time to plan. North Olmsted and Sheffield Village are also considering moratoriums.

Gerald “Jerry” DeLemus and Blaine Cooper each admitted to conspiring with others who engaged in a tense gunpoint standoff with federal Bureau of Land Management agents in April 2014 near Bundy’s property about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas.
Both told U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro they weren’t physically present for the standoff.
But they acknowledged interfering with the execution of federal court orders by recruiting and organizing armed gunmen to support Bundy and sons Ammon, Ryan, Mel and Dave Bundy in efforts to prevent the roundup of Bundy cattle from the scenic Gold Butte area.
Their plea deals call for sentences of six years in federal prison, although their defense attorneys can seek leniency at sentencing Dec. 1. Each also could be fined up to $500,000 and be subject to up to three years of government supervision after prison.
Cooper, 37, from Humboldt, Arizona, also pleaded guilty to assault on a federal officer.
DeLemus, 61, of Rochester, New Hampshire, arrived in Nevada hours after the confrontation. He pleaded guilty to an interstate extortion charge admitting he drove cross-country with guns with an intent to display “force and aggression” to stop the roundup.
DeLemus, a former U.S. Marine, spent weeks afterward living in a tent and organizing armed patrols near the Bundy ranch outside Bunkerville.
DeLemus was also politically active at home in New Hampshire, where his wife, Susan DeLemus, is a Republican state assemblywoman.
He stopped several times Thursday to confer with his attorney while entering his guilty pleas.
“I don’t know that I threatened anyone,” DeLemus told the judge at one point, “but I made public statements hoping it would end peacefully.”
Prosecutors characterized DeLemus and Cooper as “mid-level organizers” and leaders of the conspiracy to prevent federal agents and contract cowboys from rounding up Bundy cattle that federal officials said were trespassing on public land.
“Federal law enforcement officers must be able to engage in their official duties, including executing federal court orders, without fear of assault or losing their lives,” U.S. Attorney Daniel Bogden said in a statement after the pleas.
DeLemus and Cooper became the first among 19 defendants to take plea deals in the case in Las Vegas.
Trial for some of the remaining 17 defendants is scheduled to begin Feb. 2 on charges also including threatening a federal officer, carrying a firearm in a crime of violence, and obstruction.
Seven defendants in the Nevada case, including Cooper and Bundy’s sons Ammon and Ryan Bundy, are also among 26 people charged in Portland, Oregon, in connection with a 41-day occupation of a wildlife refuge earlier this year.
Eleven people have taken plea deals in the Oregon case, including Cooper. The Oregon trial is scheduled to begin next month. | http://sidneydailynews.com/wire/state-wire/41247/2-men-in-nevada-standoff-case-plead-guilty-in-federal-court-3 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | sidneydailynews.com/922572c6932567f45f46aa3fdb714ef547fa8548adc276dfc4dcd13cec820f55.json |
