The Sidney City SchoolsBoard ofEducationMondaydis-cussed theneed for a levy to pos-sibly be placed on the ballot in2013.Superintendent John Scheu

and Sidney City Schools Treas-urer MikeWatkins made a rec-ommendation to the board thata levy be placed on the ballot inAugust,because the current 9.9-mill levy expires nextDecember.Scheu and Watkins recom-

mended a combined operatingand permanent improvementlevy in the form of a 1 percentincome tax. The previous per-

manent improvement levy ex-pired in 2008 and was never re-newed. The money that wascollected from the permanentimprovement levy was 0.8 of amill,which generated $250,000.The current 9.9-mill operatinglevy generates $4.5 million andis “nearly identical,” Scheunoted, to what a 1 percent in-come taxwould generate for theschool district, because a com-bined levy would generate$4,773,662 per year over a five-year period.“Since approximately 45 per-

cent of the district's operatingmoney comes from local sources,it will be necessary to replace

this expired amount of the 9.9-mill levy,” Scheu stated. “Overthe past several years, theschool district with the help ofall staffmembers receiving a 5.8percent average salary reduc-tion in year one,with all salariesfrozen in years two to four, hasbeen able to live within ourmeans and the district now hasour financial house in order.”The salary reductions are re-

portedly the highest in the stateof Ohio among all school dis-tricts.Additionally,Scheu said,“the

Sidney school officials, law enforcement to dis-cuss security issues at special meetingIn the wake of the school shooting tragedy in

Connecticut Friday,SidneyCity Schools officialsplan to meet with local law enforcement leadersThursday to review current policies and proce-dures at district schools.The meeting will include district administra-

tive staff, each building principal and availableboardmembers, alongwith ShelbyCounty Sher-iff John Lenhart and Sidney Police Chief KevinGessler.Those present will discuss current policies

and procedures and what more can be done todeter a tragedy from happening in Sidney. Re-portedly, the Sandy Hook Elementary School inNewtown, Conn., had all doors locked and doorbuzzers for entry and security cameras operat-ing, but still the assailant entered the buildingby simply shooting out a window. Because allthese security steps did not prevent entry, local

officials plan to re-think their security plan.“Of particular interest is how to more effec-

tively deal with an armed intruder once insidethe building,” school officials said in a news re-lease. “Be assured that door buzzers, securitycameras and systems, andwhat to dowhen theyfail, will be part of our conversation with thesheriff and police chief on Thursday.”Additional comments in the news release fol-

low:“With the tragic shootings that occurred in

Connecticut last Friday, school safety is in theforefront of all of our minds. Unfortunately thisis not new to anyone in education; school safetyconcerns changed forever after Sept. 11, 2001. Infact, school safety plans became a state of Ohiorequirement after the 9/11 terrorist attack.Every school district must submit a plan to beapproved by the state of Ohio, then updatedevery few years for any changes.

Trustees set year-end,reorganization meetings

Because of declining participation, LehmanCatholic High School will no longer sponsor bingogames as it has done for 40-plus years.

N-38 was the final number called on the finalbingo game Sunday afternoon at Lehman. CallerDenny Aselage verified the accuracy of the numberand the winner received the payout. Just prior tothat game, Lehman President Mike Barhorst an-nounced that the school would not renew its licensewith the Ohio Lottery Commission to play bingo inthe coming year.With that announcement, a tradi-tion that has been a part of the school’s fundrais-ing for more than four decades came to a close.

“Although at one time we had crowds of morethan 300, the ban on smoking in the early ’90s cutour attendance in half,” Barhorst explained. “Theopening of the riverboats in Indiana halved our at-tendance yet again. The recent proliferation of In-ternet cafes and casino options reduced our crowdsto the point that operating bingo is simply not prof-itable enough to be worth the effort.”

By state law, all bingo helpers must volunteertheir time.The school relied on parent volunteers tooperate the bingo games. As a result, nearly everyparent worked bingo at the school on a rotatingbasis, with some volunteering to work once a monthas the Aselages did. Aselage, who has called bingoon the third Sunday of the month for more than aquarter century, kept on working after his childrengraduated from the school. Janet, his wife, was thebookkeeper on the third Sunday.

“We knew how much bingo revenue helped theschool,” Janet said, “and we knew how hard it wasas parents to work on a regular basis. Once our chil-dren were off to college, it was easier to keep amonthly schedule.”

“There was a time when bingo provided morethan 10 percent of our operating revenue,” Barhorstsaid nostalgically. That simply isn’t the case todaywhen many sessions we don’t break even.”

Barhorst, who worked most Sundays, noted thathe will miss patrons who regularly attended thegames. “Many of them would share their sorrowsand joys. It was a rare Sunday when health issueswere not a topic of discussion for one patron or an-other,” Barhorst stated. “It was not unusual for pa-trons who shared such intimate details to ask forprayers. Those are the things I’ll miss.” He quicklyadded, “I won’t miss the time away from family andthe opportunity to leisurely read the Sunday news-paper!”

With a few hugs and good wishes for the NewYear, all that was left to do was put the chairs andtables away one last time — and turn out the lights.

BY ANN SANNERAssociated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — Officialsin Ohio are watching the negoti-ations inWashington to avert au-tomatic tax hikes and spendingcuts set to start with the newyear.And it’s the tax increases that

are on the mind of Ohio budgetdirector Tim Keen, who is help-ing to write the governor’s two-year state spending blueprint.State income tax revenue

could rise or fall as a direct resultof federal tax hikes.The so-called “fiscal cliff ”

takes effect in January unlessCongress passes a budget deal bythen. The economy would be hitso hard by tax increases andspending cuts that it wouldlikely sink into recession in thefirst half of 2013, economists

have said.Middle income families would

have to pay an average of about$2,000 more next year, the non-partisan Tax Policy Center hascalculated.Keen said if the country

plunges over the “fiscal cliff” andinto recession, Ohio could againfind itself facing budget chal-lenges as residents lose jobs andhold onto their money.“We are monitoring that and

we’re trying to keep that into con-sideration as we move throughthis budget and think about put-ting a budget together for fiscalyears ‘14 and ‘15,” he said in aninterview.Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a Re-

publican, is expected submit hisbudget proposal to the legislatureby February. His last spendingplan closed a budget gap that ap-proached $8 billion.And the state

doesn’t want to find itself in thehole again.Keen is mindful of the ongoing

talks between President BarackObama and House Speaker JohnBoehner of Ohio, but he said he’snot following every development.“We’ll have to deal with what-

ever happens,” Keen said.Many states depend on federal

grants to help finance education,environmental and communityprograms. But Keen said he’s notexpecting the state to take a sig-nificant blow if the automaticcuts occur.A spokeswoman for the state’s

Department of Jobs and FamilyServices, the largest recipient offederal grant money, said pro-grams dealing with adoptionservices, child care, child support,and workforce development areamong those that could see fund-ing drops.

NBC CHIEF Foreign correspondent Richard Engel (center); NBCTurkey reporter Aziz Akyavas (left); and NBC photographer JohnKooistra speak during a news conference in Reyhanli, Turkey,Tuesday. More than a dozen pro-regime gunmen kidnapped andheld Engel and several colleagues for five days inside Syria,threatening them with mock executions and blindfolding thembefore the team finally escaped unharmed during a firefight be-tween their captors and rebels, Engel said Tuesday.

BEIRUT (AP) — NBC’s chief foreign correspondent RichardEngel said Tuesday he and members of his network crew es-caped unharmed after five days of captivity in Syria,wheremorethan a dozen pro-regime gunmen dragged them from their car,killed one of their rebel escorts and subjected them to mock ex-ecutions.Appearing on NBC’s “Today” show, an unshaven Engel said

he and his team escaped during a firefight Monday night be-tween their captors and rebels at a checkpoint.They crossed intoTurkey on Tuesday.NBC did not say how many people were kidnapped with

Engel, although two othermen, producer Ghazi Balkiz and pho-tographer John Kooistra, appeared with him on the “Today”show.Anothermember of Engel’s team,AzizAkyavas of Turkey,also escaped. It was not confirmed whether everyone was ac-counted for.Engel said he believes the kidnappers were a Shiite militia

group loyal to the Syrian government, which has lost controlover swaths of the country’s north and is increasingly on the de-fensive in a civil war that has killed 40,000 people since March2011.“They kept us blindfolded, bound,” said the 39-year-old Engel,

who speaks and reads Arabic. “We weren’t physically beaten ortortured. A lot of psychological torture, threats of being killed.They made us choose which one of us would be shot first andwhen we refused, there were mock shootings,” he added.“They were talking openly about their loyalty to the govern-

ment,” Engel said.He said the captors were trained by the Iran-ian Revolutionary Guard and allied with Hezbollah, theLebanese Shiite militant group, but he did not elaborate.There was no mention of the kidnapping by Syria’s state-run

news agency.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) —Newtown returned its stu-dents to their classroomsTuesday for the first timesince last week’s massacreand faced the agonizing taskof laying others to rest, as thisgrieving town wrestled withthe same issues gripping thecountry: violence, gun controland finding a way forward.Funerals were held for two

more of the tiny fallen, a 6-year-old boy and a 6-year-oldgirl. A total of 26 people weregunned down at Sandy HookElementary School in one ofthe worst mass shootings inU.S history. The gunman alsokilled his mother in her homebefore committing suicide.The resumption of classes

at all Newtown’s schools ex-cept Sandy Hook brought a re-turn of familiar routines,something students seemed towelcome as they arrivedaboard buses festooned withlarge green-and-white ribbons— the colors of the stricken el-ementary school.“We’re going to be able to

comfort each other and tryand help each other getthrough this, because that’sthe only way we’re going to doit,” said 17-year-old P.J.Hickey, a senior at NewtownHigh School. “Nobody can dothis alone.”Still, he noted: “There’s

going to be no joy in school. Itreally doesn’t feel like Christ-mas anymore.”At St. Rose of Lima

Catholic Church in Newtown,back-to-back funerals wereheld for first-graders JamesMattioli and Jessica Rekos,the third and fourth so far andthe first of eight to be held inthe coming days at thechurch. Memorial servicesand wakes were also held forsome of the adult victims.

As mourners gathered out-side, a motorcade led by policemotorcycles arrived for the fu-neral of little James, who es-pecially loved recess andmath and who was describedby his family as a “numbersguy” who couldn’t wait untilhe was old enough to order afoot-long Subway sandwich.

Traffic in front of thechurch slowed to a crawl aspolice directed vehicles intothe parking lot. A school buscarrying elementary studentsgot stuck in traffic, and thechildren, pressing their facesinto the windows, sadlywatched as the mourners as-sembled.

WASHINGTON (AP)—Justtwo weeks from an economy-threatening deadline, fiscal clifftalks hit a lull Tuesday asHouse Speaker John Boehnerannounced that Republicanswould also march ahead withtheir own tax plan on a sepa-rate track from the one he’sbeen pursuing with PresidentBarack Obama.The White House and lead-

ing congressional Democratsimmediately rejectedBoehner’s“Plan B,” which would extendsoon-to-expire Bush-era taxcuts for everyone making lessthan $1 million but would notaddress huge across-the-boardspending cuts that are set tostrike the Pentagon and domes-tic programs next year.“Everyone should under-

stand Boehner’s proposal willnot pass the Senate,” said Sen-ate Majority Leader HarryReid, D-Nev.Boehner’s surprise move

came after significant progressover the past several days intalks with Obama— talks thatproducedmovement on tax ratehikes that have proven deeplyunsettling to GOP conserva-tives and on cuts to Social Se-

curity benefits that have in-censed liberal Democrats.JustMonday,Obama offered

concessions, including a plan toraise top tax rates on house-holds earning more than$400,000 instead of the$250,000 threshold he had cam-paigned on. And the two sideshad inched closer on the totalamount of tax revenue requiredto seal the agreement. Obamanow would settle for $1.2 tril-lion over the coming decadewhile Boehner is offering $1trillion.By contrast, protecting in-

come below $1 million from ahike in the top tax rate from 35percent to 39.6 percent wouldraise only $269 billion over thecoming decade.But the outlines of a possible

Obama-Boehner agreement ap-peared to have shaky support atbest from Boehner’s leadershipteam and outright oppositionfrom key Republicans like vicepresidential nominee PaulRyan, R-Wis., a House GOPaide said. That aide spoke onlyon condition of anonymity be-cause the aide was not author-ized to discuss the situationpublicly.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Investors shunned some of the na-tion’s largest gunmakersTuesday, putting up for sale themanu-facturer of the Bushmaster semiautomatic rifle used in theConnecticut school shooting and worrying that the attack couldsoon bring stricter gun laws.Stocks of other gun companies fell, and one sporting-goods

chain said it would temporarily stop sales of military-stylefirearms. In Washington, some former opponents of gun controlsignaled that they may change their position, potentially givingstricter gun laws their best chance of passage in years.Themost notable rejection of the gun industry camewhen the

private-equity firmCerberus Capital Management announced itwould sell the maker of the rifle used in the massacre, which itcalled a “watershed event.”The shooting “raised the national debate on gun control to an

unprecedented level,” Cerberus said in a news release. “We areinvestors, not statesmen or policy makers.”In an acknowledgment of the changing political climate, the

National Rifle Association promised “to offer meaningful contri-butions to help make sure this never happens again.” It sched-uled a Friday news conference.Bushmaster, Remington and DPMS are among the brands

made by Freedom Group Inc., the largest firearms maker in theU.S.The Madison, N.C., company sold 1.1 million rifles and shot-

guns last year, alongwith 2 billion rounds of ammunition. Its cus-tomers include law enforcement andmilitary agencies, as well asretailers who serve hunters and gun enthusiasts.Cerberus, a large private-equity firm best known for investing

in Chrysler and other troubled corporations, appeared to havebeen under pressure from two sources: investors and the threatof more gun control.

Cliff talks hit a lull withBoehner’s ‘Plan B’

This is one in an occa-sional series of columnsby Localife Editor Patri-cia Ann Speelman.

In Saturday’s SidneyDaily News, we asked ifanyone could identify apoem and photo submit-ted by Ginny Hoehne, ofFort Loramie.

The poem was a take-off on “A Visit from St.Nicholas,” by ClementMoore. It was writtenfrom the point of view ofSanta, who came upon asoldier on ChristmasEve.

We asked if anyonecould identify the poemor the photo and we gotlots of response!

You phoned, youemailed, you came intothe news offices.

What you told us wasthat the poem and photowere used by the Dis-abled American Veter-ans (DAV) on Christmascards they provided todonors who then couldsend them to theirfriends. On those cards,it was attributed toLance Cpl. James M.Schmidt.

Tuesday, we called theDAV and this is what welearned:

The poem is titled,“Merry Christmas, MyFriend.” Schmidt was aMarine, stationed inWashington, D.C., in1986 when he wrote it,according to DebraKellinghaus, manager ofdonor relations at DAVnational headquarters inCold Spring, Ky. He wasserving as a battalion

counter-sniper. The bat-talion commander wasCol. D.J. Myers.

Schmidt wrote thepoem as his contributionto the holiday decora-tions his buddies werehanging in their bar-racks. It was posted onthe door of the gym ofthe BEQ (bachelor en-listed quarters).

“When Myers cameupon it, he read it andimmediately had copiessent to each departmentat the barracks andpromptly dismissed theentire battalion early forChristmas leave. Thepoem was placed thatday in the Marine CorpsGazette, distributedworldwide and later sub-mitted to LeatherneckMagazine,” Kellinghaussaid. She noted that theDAV has used variousversions of the poem asit has been directed tosoldiers, sailors, airmenor Marines. It is in thepublic domain, whichmeans that anyone canpublish and use it.

According to Kelling-haus, after leaving the

Marine Corps, Cpl.Schmidt earned a lawdegree and now servesas an entertainment at-torney in Los Angelesand is director of opera-tions for a security con-sulting firm.

The photo, titled “Sol-dier’s Christmas,” iscopyrighted and wasprovided to the DAV byCorbis Images, a photoservice.

Deb Cain sent in an-other poem about sol-diers at Christmas. It’sbeen making its wayaround the Internet forfive or six years and canbe found on several web-sites, one of which ishttp://www.snopes.com/holidays/christmas/glurge/different.asp.

Dear Readers: Haveyou seen the living let-

t u c e s ,hydro-pron i -c a l l ygrown,that aresold inplastic,c l a m -s h e l lc o n -t a i n -ers? Ij u s tl o v e

them! It is amazing howlong these lettuces last!The container is designedto be a “mini-greenhouse,”which is what helpsmakethe product last. The let-tuce still has its roots at-tached, and it sits in asmall amount of nutrient-rich liquid.When ready toeat, just take off the num-ber of leaves needed, rinseand eat.— Heloise

Here’s another lettucehint:

LETTUCE WRAPDear Heloise: I enjoy

your column inThe (Mon-roe, La.) News-Star. Be-fore cutting a wedge froma head of lettuce, I removeone large outer leaf. ThenI place this leaf over thecut surface like a bandagebefore wrapping it andputting it in the refriger-ator. It greatly reducesthe browning of the cutedges. — Gayle M., Mon-roe, La.

EASIER DEVILEDEGGS

Dear Heloise: Here ismy recipe for easy deviledeggs: Cut peeled, hard-boiled eggs in half. Makea topping of mayonnaise,mustard and any othercondiments you wouldlike. Spread this mixtureon top of the cut eggs.Youmay add olive slices ontop,minced parsley, etc.—ElaineW.,Harrisburg,Pa.

Deviled eggs are deli-cious!They are so popular,and this is a clever short-cut, with a fun twist, tomaking them. Love it! —HeloiseFROZEN GARBAGEDear Heloise: When

cooking or baking some-thing that requires eggs, Ihate throwing the shellsin the garbage can, espe-cially if pickup isn’t for afew days. I take the shellsor any offensive-smellingobject and put it in a plas-tic bag, like one the news-paper comes in, and stickit in the door of thefreezer. On garbage day, Ijust open the freezer doorand throw out the plasticbag. This works well withshellfish, too. The onlytrouble is that you have toremember to throw it out!— Judy B., Hobe Sound,Fla.

DAYTON — MuseMachine artists AmberFisher and JacobMcGlaun visited areaschools this week, in-cluding Sidney MiddleSchool, mixing Americanhistory with rock androll.

In true Muse Machinestyle, the performersbrought iconic momentsfrom the 1960s to lifewith rocking hits fromthe decade. The produc-tion, called “Time Signa-ture,” is the first in anew series by Muse Ma-chine, exploring impor-tant historical eventsthrough musical mo-ments.

Students were ledthrough the social turbu-lence of the ’60s, illus-trated with songs thatoften had them clappingor singing along. In agame show called “Hip-sters and Hippies,” stu-dents went on stage tocompare modern-dayicons including Johnny

Depp with examplesfrom the past includingJohn Lennon and BobMarley.

“It just goes to showthat kids can get excitedabout history,” said tech-nical producer DavidSherman, “or math orscience. The trick is toget students on board bystarting with somethingthey already know andlove, and drawing themin from there. With‘Time Signature,’ it’s themusic. Students hear asong they know and allof a sudden, they’relearning about civilrights.”

“Time Signature” is apart of a diverse seasonof in-school shows byMuse Machine this year.Muse student memberswill also enjoy visitsfrom other top Daytonperforming groupsthroughout the season,from the areas of theaterand music to filmmakingand dance.

NEW YORK (AP) —Stocks edged higher onWall StreetTuesday amidoptimism that lawmakersare closing in on a budgetdeal that will stop theU.S. from going over the“fiscal cliff” at the begin-ning of next year.The Dow Jones indus-

trial average rose 76points to 13,311 as of11:55 a.m. The Standard& Poor’s (NYSE:MHP)500 gained 11 points to1,441. The Nasdaq com-posite rose 33 points to3,043.House Speaker John

Boehner told reportershe remains hopeful thata fiscal cliff compromise

can be reached, but saysPresident BarackObama has yet to offer abalanced deficit-cuttingplan. Boehner saidObama’s latest offer for$1.3 trillion in tax in-creases over the nextdecade with $850 billionin spending cuts is notbalanced enough.“People are cheering

the prospect for somecompromise in Washing-ton right now,” said JoeCostigan, director of eq-uity research at BrynMawr Trust Co. “At themoment there is somepretty good news andthe market is reactingfavorably to it, but the

deal isn’t done yet.”Stocks slumped after

the presidential electionNov. 6 on concern that adivided governmentwould struggle to reachan agreement beforeJan. 1, when a series ofseries of tax increasesand government spend-ing cuts are scheduled totake effect if no deal isreached.Those measurescould push the U.S. backinto recession. The S&Phas since recouped all ofthose losses.The Dow Jones is up

2.3 percent in Decemberand is on track to closehigher for a fourthstraight year. The index

has advanced 9 percentin 2012. The S&P500 isalso up for the year,gaining nearly 15 per-cent.Allstate Corp. gained

77 cents to $41.92 afterthe company’s board ofdirectors approved aplan to buy back up to $1billion of the insurer’sshares by the end of theyear.Eli Lilly also ad-

vanced after saying itwould buy back its ownstock. The drugmakerrose 79 cents to $49.13after saying that itsboard had approved a$1.15 billion share buy-back.

“According to investiga-tors, no communicationbetween teacher and stu-dents could be construedas having sexual over-tures,” Scheu stated.

“The complaint origi-nated from a classroomteacher who overheardsome students in her classtalking about texting ateacher. This informationwas shared with the twoassistant principals whothen talked with thesestudents, shared this in-formationwith the princi-pal, who shared thisinformation with the su-perintendent, and it wasdecided to turn thematterover to the Sidney PoliceDepartment. Our intentwas to bring out the truthof the allegations and toprotect both student andteacher,” Scheu said.

Scheu said that he helda disciplinary hearingwith Czupryn Mondaymorning.

“The facts of the disci-plinary hearing were pre-sented,” Scheu said. “Hewill be permitted to re-turn. Mr. Czupryn is fullyaware ofwhat is appropri-ate and what is inappro-priate communicationwith students.”

Scheu said some disci-plinary action was takenMonday, although he de-clined to say what it was.

“That is between himand me,” Scheu said.

Scheu said the issue“was not about receivingfalse information. Theissuewas ascertaining thecontents of any communi-cation between teacherand students.”

He emphasized that“nothing in the… investi-gation .. even remotelycomes close to being a sex-ual predator status. Theissue of appropriate vs. in-appropriate communica-tion with students will beaddressed prior to Mr.Czupryn returning towork.” Scheu said hewanted to be very clear hedoes not believe Czuprynis a sexual predator.

Scheu said that whileCzupryn’s suspension hasbeen well publicized, itwill be up to Czupryn torebuild his reputation “byhis actions from this pointforward and having awell-defined line betweenstudents and teacher.”

“In the three monthshe has taught at Sidney

High School, he hasproven himself to havethe potential to become avery good teacher,” Scheusaid. “He was also the as-sistant Academia adviserwho helped in a huge waythis year in coaching thestudents to their fifth suc-cessive county crown forAcademia.”

“We had enough confi-dence in his ability toteach that we included anupper-level math class forhim to teach along withthe rest of his scheduledcourses,” Scheu said.“During reference checksprior to him being offeredthe teaching position, sev-eral of his college profes-sors remarked that hewas at the top of theirclass in terms of intelli-gence, work ethic and hisnoteworthy ability tograsp the concepts thatare so important. Mr.Czupryn has beenwell re-ceived by students, staffand administration.”

Scheu said Czupryn’ssituation is going to beused to educate other Sid-neyCity Schools teachers.

“Teachers will be re-minded about communi-cation with students —appropriate versus inap-propriate,” he said.

Scheu said a determi-nationwill bemade aboutwhether the students in-volved in the alleged inci-dent will remain inCzupryn’s classes.

“Sidney High Schooladministrationwill deter-mine what is best foreveryone involved,” hesaid.

The superintendentalso spoke about the issueof students and teachersusing socialmedia to com-municate.

“There should not beany such communicationbeing done unless it is di-rectly related to a curricu-lar or extracurricularactivity that is necessary,for example for a coach totell their players about achange in practice sched-ule. The board policy onthis type of communica-tion is quite clear and willbe re-emphasized to allstaff,” Scheu said.

“It is important to taketime and sort out factsfrom rumors,” Scheu said.“We are quite confidentthe Sidney Police Depart-ment investigation wasboth thorough and fair.Assuperintendent, I plan onredoubling my efforts atproviding new employeesthe necessary orientationto make sure appropriateversus inappropriate com-munication and interac-tion with students isclearly understood.”

“We took the allega-tions seriously and stu-dent safety is No. 1priority for us. At thesame time, it is importantto protect our staff mem-bers as well,” Scheu said.“Just as Sidney CitySchools is intent on pro-tecting our 3,600 stu-dents, we are equallyintent on protecting our400 staffmembers.We arepreparing forMr.Czuprynto be back at Sidney HighSchool teaching math be-ginning on Jan. 3.”

indicators and is nowranked ‘effective,’ which isone notch above the ‘con-tinuous improvement’ rat-ing. We feel the ship isturned around andheaded in the right direc-tion.”

“Adding all-day kinder-garten for all students andstrengthening our curricu-lum offerings in kinder-garten to grade 12have allbeen done by livingwithinour means and demon-strating sound fiscal re-sponsibility. It isimportant to ask voters fora like amount of money tooperate our schools as op-posed to anadditional levyamount,” Scheu stated.

Scheu explained thatthe permanent improve-ment levy “can only beused for maintaining ourproperty andbuildings, forsuch expenditures as pur-chase of buses, roof re-placements, boilerreplacements, window re-placements, parking lotpaving, anything that isspent onkeeping our prop-ertymaintained.Aperma-nent improvement levycannot be used forsalaries, health insurancecosts or expenditures oroperating the school.

“The operating levy can

be spent on anything basi-cally to operate the schoolsand is much more flexiblein terms of what the al-lowable expenditures are.Since the permanent im-provement levy expired in2008,we have transferredeach year a similaramount of money,$250,000, for permanentimprovements from ouroperating budget, whichover time steadily depletesthemoney needed to oper-ate the schools.”

Scheu said school offi-cials have not addressedwhat they would do if thelevy were not to pass.

“Wehavenot addressedthat. I would have to saywe really do not have anOption B for what to fallback on,” he said. “As hardas we have worked to getour financial house inorder, I really do not knowhow much more we cancut out of our budget.

“We have trimmed ourpersonnel from ... under600 to just under 400.Wehave cut back administra-tively. As far as personnel,we don’t have a lot of roomtomaneuver. I can tell you,though, that on oursources of revenue, thereis no way that we can dowithout a local source ofrevenue.”

Shortly before Scheuwas named superintend-ent, he said, “The commu-

nity was sending a loudand clear message thatteachers are overpaid.They make too much ...the district is not spendingmoney wisely, there arebullying issues going on(especially at Sidney Mid-dle School), there was asense of whether the dis-trict could pull themselvesout. ... I hope people willgive us the benefit of thedoubt. I feel that we havedone virtually everythingwe were asked to do by ...people in the community.I think the district ismuchmore transparent. Wehave been forthright andhonest with the people.”

Scheu said Obamacarewill also increase costs forthe district.

He noted that he un-derstands that costs couldincrease $25 to $35 peremployee in the school dis-trict to cover health carecosts to “pay the cost ofpre-existing conditions.”He said that when that iscalculated by nearly 400employees, there will besome expense involved.

The proposal to placethe levy on the ballot willbe brought back to theboard for consideration atameeting after the first ofthe year. Scheu said any-one in the public withquestions about the levyare welcome to contacthim at the board office.

raids in the state.On Monday the Au-

tons, as a family, pleadedguilty to one count of sec-ond-degree misdemeanorcruelty to animals, andthemother and father en-tered guilty pleas to thesame charge.AdamAutonpleaded guilty to a fourth-degree misdemeanor cru-elty charge.

A court spokespersonsaid the case is being fur-ther investigated and that

no date has been set forsentencing.

Sheriff John Lenhart,who led the raid on thefamily’s Pedigree Petsbusiness, declined to com-ment on Monday’s pleabargain, but he termedtheAutons’ operation “theworst animal cruelty caseI ever saw.”

He said the case had tobe processed under a cur-rent law, whereas suchcharges will be feloniesunder a new law that be-comes effective in Janu-ary.

Lenhart said law en-

forcement has investedmore than $27,000 in itsenforcement and investi-gation of the Auton caseand wants the countyprosecutor to recover themoney from the family.

He reported the dogsseized and placed in fosterhomes are now beingmade available for adop-tion.

“The family had askedto retain their two familydogs, which were bothneutered, and we’ve seenthat the family can neverraise pups again,” thesheriff said.

Multivitamins’ effects vary

Woman deep in love triangle has trouble thinking straight

DEAR DRS.D O N O H U EAND ROACH: Itook a multivita-min faithfully for20 years. I alsohave asthma. Iwheezed everyday. I ran out ofthe vitamin andforgot to buymore. Ten days without avitamin and the wheez-ing stopped.— S.W.

DEAR DRS. DONO-HUE AND ROACH: Iused a variety of multivi-tamin brands. They allgave me a pain in thestomach. I take the vita-mins separately and haveno trouble. — E.D.

DEAR DRS. DONO-HUE AND ROACH:Whenever I take a multi-vitamin, I feel nauseated.What’s wrong with me?— J.D.

DEAR DRS.D O N O H U EAND ROACH: Iget dizzy aftertaking amultivit-amin. When Idon’t take one,I’m fine. — B.L

A N S W E R :Most multivita-min users have

no problems with them.Some, however, do. I’mnot sure why. It might bethat a few people react tothe filler material in a vi-tamin, the things thatkeep the pill or capsuletogether. The only solu-tion I have is for thesepeople to stop takingthem.A question frequently

asked and frequently an-swered with differingopinions is the necessityof taking a multivitamin.It wasn’t until the early

part of the 20th centurythat the structure andmanufacturing of vita-mins got its start. Fromthe dawn of man’s ap-pearance on Earth, no vi-tamins were ever takenin pill form until then.Allthose generations of peo-ple lived well withoutthem. In some instances,vitamin deficienciessprung up, but the con-nection between the defi-ciency and the lack of avitamin wasn’t nmadeuntil the 1900s. In the18th century, James Lindfed British sailors limesand lemons and therebyprevented scurvy, a dis-ease prevalent in theBritish navy. He didn’tknow the reason whythese fruits were effec-tive. It wasn’t until rela-tively recently thatscurvy proved to be a de-

ficiency of vitamin C.Some people feel that

taking a multivitaminensures that they are get-ting the recommendeddaily allowances for vita-mins. However, the aver-age American andCanadian has a variety offoods available to them,all rich in vitamins, andthose foods are all theyneed to stay healthy.

DEAR ABBY: I ama 31-year-old, never-married mother of two.Last summer I startedhaving an affair with“Jordan,” the father ofmy first child. He leftme when our daughterwas a year old and hasbeen engaged for threeyears in an on-again,off-again relationship.I could give you ex-

cuses about why theaffair started up again,but the truth is we both knewit was wrong and continued todo it anyway. I never stoppedloving him and I thought itwould bring him back to me.Today I found out from Jor-

dan’s fiancee that they haveset their wedding date for nextspring. She said they wouldlike for me to come. As if itwouldn’t be painful enough togo to the wedding, his fianceehas also asked me to do her

hair for the occasion.(I’m a hairstylist.)Abby, Jordan and I

are still having an af-fair. I want to tell her,but I don’t want him tohate me. I believe thiswedding is a big mis-take for many reasons,not just the obvious.Please give me someoutside advice. —CAN’T HELP MY-SELF IN OHIO

DEAR CAN’THELP YOURSELF: OK, thefirst thing to do is wake up,smell the coffee and acceptthat resuming the sexual rela-tionship with Jordan has nothad the desired effect. HeWILL be marrying someoneelse.Next, concentrate on saving

yourself and waste no more ofyour time on him — that is, ifyou would like a permanent,monogamous relationship

with someone. Jordan hasgiven you ample proof that heis incapable of being faithful toone woman.And last, tell his fiancee

that you do not plan to attendthe wedding or do her hair be-cause you are in love with Jor-dan and have been sleepingwith him since last summer.

DEAR ABBY: I haveknown my husband for sevenyears and I love him verymuch, but I am no longer “inlove” with him. Somehowalong the way the spark hasfizzled.We have a wonderful fam-

ily and have been through somuch together. I don’t want adivorce. I want to make ourmarriage work, and so doeshe. So how do I get my sparkback? — SPARKLESS INTEXAS

DEAR SPARKLESS:Thatyou and your husband want

your marriage to work meansit is capable of being resusci-tated. While you didn’t giveany details, it is possible thatyou have been “through somuch” that it didn’t allow youto concentrate on each other.Exhaustion and distraction

can cause a spark to fizzle.A way to reignite it would

be to spend more time alonetogether, participate in activi-ties you both enjoy, and maketime on a regular basis to talk,relax and touch each other.And if necessary, enlist theservices of a licensed mar-riage counselor.

DEAR ABBY: My sisterrelinquished custody of herkids in a divorce 30 years ago.I recently made contact withthem to re-establish lost ties.The contact I made with thedaughter has been a wonder-ful success. The other resultedin complete — and under-

standable — rejection.Now my sister, who didn’t

want to open the door, blamesme for her heartache becauseher son rejected her. Was Iwrong for bringing at leastone of them back into the fam-ily? — SISTER IN THESOUTH

DEAR SISTER: Becauseyou did it over your sister’s ob-jections, I think you were.While the daughter seems in-terested in establishing con-tact — at least for now— yoursister has now “lost” her sonTWICE. And if the daughtereventually backs off, your sis-ter will be zero for two.

Edisontrustees tomeet today

The headlines and soundbites tell an awful story: “Pres-ident of Syria bombs own peo-ple to retain power,” “40,000dead in less than two years,”“President unleashes Scudmissiles to stop insurgents.”

The story is awful, but it’sfar away and doesn’t affectShelby Countians – until ithits close to home. For arearesidents who know SamCasalano, the associate execu-tive director of the Sidney-Shelby County YMCA, it hitclose to home early thismonth. That’s whenCasalano’s mother was killedin Aleppo by a governmentcar, traveling at a high rate ofspeed, which hit her as shecrossed a street with herdaughter.

“It was an intelligence car,”Casalano told the SidneyDaily News Thursday, a cardriven by a member of theSyrian intelligence agency. In-telligence agents and othergovernment officials can beidentified by the numbers ontheir cars, but “because theyare bullies, they can drivevery fast. They didn’t stopwhen they hit her,” Casalanoadded.

His mother had returned toSyria from her Europeanhome in September in order toconsole her oldest daughter,Hyam, whose son had beenkilled in the civil war in Julyand whose husband had been

killed by a car bomb in Au-gust. Another son was killedmore recently.

After his mother wasstruck by the car, it took anhour to get her to a hospital,Casalano said.

“They’re bombing everyplace, so you have to be care-ful which way you go,” he said.“She was in a coma for threedays and on the fourth day,she died of internal bleeding.”

Mother returns toSicily

The Sidney resident, whohas worked at the YMCA formore than 20 years, grew upin Syria, the son of aGreek/Syrian father and anItalian mother. He has twobrothers who live in Romania,a sister in France and a sisterin Syria. After his father diedin 1990, his mother returnedto Sicily.

Sophia “Sue” Casalano Al-Khamis had recently been liv-ing in Germany to receivetreatments for kidney disease.As soon as she was wellenough to travel, she told hersons, “I want to see my daugh-ter and grandchildren inSyria.” She knew it was dan-gerous to go, but love wasstronger than fear.

“I took her myself to theborder,” Casalano said.

When she arrived in Syriawith her daughter fromFrance, Halla, it took themsome time to locate Hyam,who had been living in Dam-ascus. When Hyam’s house inDamascus was destroyed, shehad moved to another houseshe owns in Aleppo. But Sueand Halla did not know that.

Aleppo, a distance from theSyrian capital, seemed to be asafer location until shellingbegan there in October.

“They have no food, nopower, no heat,” Casalanosaid. “They’re struggling tofind bread. They are now in (ahouse that my mother stillowned). It’s a strong house, agood basement, but they don’tsleep because they hear thebombs at night and they don’tknow how close (the bombs)are.”Occasional telephoneHe can occasionally reach

them by telephone, when theyhave power.

“I try 10 times and getthrough once,” he said. TheSyrian government hasblocked all Internet access.

“I tried to go there. I talkedto the embassy. My brothersdrove there, but they wouldn’tlet them in,” he said. Thebrothers had been stopped atthe Turkish border.

Casalano has been able tosend his family money. Theirassets in the Syrian bankshave been frozen. Money iswelcome, but doesn’t alwayshelp.

“Bread used to be $1. Nowit is $10, but even at $10, theycannot find any,” Casalanosaid. He blames PresidentBashar al-Assad.

“At first, I hear he’s killinghis own people, I thought itwas exaggerating, but it’strue,” he said. “I thought hewould be different from his fa-ther. (The current president)was educated in England. He

studied thereto be an eyedoctor. Hemarried anEnglish wife.She was ofSyrian de-scent. Ithought hisviews ondemocracywould bemore in linewith westernways of gov-erning. Buthe is just asbrutal as hisfather.”

Casalanowas not alonein his think-ing that theyounger al-

Assad would change Syria forthe better. The new presidentwas dubbed “The Hope” whenhe assumed power in 2000.His father had died in 2000 andhis older brother was killed ina car accident, so, although hehad no experience and hadnever indicated an interest inpolitics, he was called back toSyria from England to take thereins of the government.

“You know, they say, ‘Powercorrupts and absolute powercorrupts absolutely,’” Casalanosaid. “They’re right. It’s muchworse there than what isshown on CNN. My sister says(government forces) go to thehospital to torture people whoare there.They finish (murder)wounded soldiers. They take10- and 13-year-old childrenand torture them. It was not a

coincidence that my brother-in-law was killed. He was a re-tired Syrian Air Forcegeneral.” The family doesn’tknow if the bomb that hadbeen placed in Thabit Makar-ishi’s car had been set by theinsurgents or the government.

This week, an internationalgathering calling itself the“Friends of Syria” met in Mo-rocco. The United States isamong 100 nations whoagreed there to recognize anopposition group as a legiti-mate voice of the Syrian peo-ple, even as violence by thesitting government escalates.

The need for humanitarianaid for Syrian residents, aswell as for the estimated700,000 Syrian refugees inneighboring countries, has es-calated, as well.

Ginsberg opinion“The Syrian people will not

soon forget who came to theirrescue in their dire hour ofneed — and who did not,”wrote Marc Ginsberg in hisblog Thursday. Ginsberg is aformer U.S. ambassador toMorocco and White HouseMiddle East adviser.

Casalano admits that hu-manitarian aid is important,but he advocates arming theinsurgents.

“They have only lightweapons. It’s like Yugoslavia,the same thing. When (Presi-dent Bill) Clinton went inwith weapons, the war wasstopped. Until they give anti-aircraft weapons to the oppo-sition, it will go on (in Syria),”he said. “It’s a beautiful coun-try. It’s a shame it’s being de-stroyed.”

The man who trained to bean engineer but found his call-ing in taking a Sidney-basedgymnastics team from sham-bles to a national champi-

onship is now working to cometo terms with his grief over hismother’s death and with thedesperate frustration of notbeing able to do anything toalleviate the situation for hissisters.

“If she died naturally, okay,that’s God’s will, but to be hitby that car,” he mourned. “Shewas the sweetest person. I stillremember her voice in mymind. She didn’t deserve todie like that. That’s whatbothers me the most. I’ve beenbeside myself. I go from numbto very angry (and back tonumb).My sisters were tryingto be strong through the deathof husband and sons. But afterwhat happened to my mother,they seem broken. Hyamseems not to care about any-thing at all,” Casalano said.

Single, he considers YMCAstaff and members his familyhere.

“Ed (Thomas,YMCA execu-tive director) and Kurt(Barhorst, YMCA Board pres-ident) have been wonderful,”he said. “We’re going to have amemorial service for mymother Jan. 7.”

Condolence giftsFriends who would like to

make a condolence gift cancontribute money, whichCasalano will send to his sis-ters in Syria, by mailing dona-tions to him in care of theYMCA, 300 E. Parkwood St.,Sidney, OH 45365.

“I’m praying every day,”Casalano said. “I believe inGod and I pray every day thatone day, I’ll be reunited withmy mom. I pray for peace forboth sides. All you can do ispray.”

As headlines about Syriacontinue to crowd news broad-casts, millions worldwide joinhim in those prayers.

The Ohio High School Foot-ball Coaches Association re-leased itsAcademic All-Ohio Teams, andincluded on thelist of just 73schools acrossthe state is Sid-ney, it was an-n o u n c e dMonday.To qualify for

All-Ohio honors, teams mustsubmit a list of 22 players (allmust have earned varsity let-ters) and the grade point av-erage they attained for thefirst quarter of the 2012-13

school year.Sidney was the only

GreaterWestern Ohio Confer-ence school to earn the All-Ohio recognition.Sidney athletic director Jeff

Courter was pleased with thenews.“We’re very proud of the

program and the direction it’sgoing right now,” he said.“They were very competitivelast season, and add to thattheir being able to focus in theclassroom. When we do ourbanquet, the coolest award wegive out is the GWOC Aca-demic.With all the things ath-letes have to do, being pulledin a hundred different direc-tions, all the demands placedon them, it’s great to see they

can still focus in the class-room. We’re all very proud ofthe team and the program.”Head coach Adam Doenges

compiled the information andsays it “takes some effort onmy part.” But he quickly adds,“When you think about the ef-fort it takes the kids to getthose grades, it’s definitelyworth doing.”It’s not the first time Sid-

ney has earned Academic All-Ohio Status. It also happenedunder Dan Cairns.The honor was a good way

to cap off a successful footballcampaign. Even though theJackets finished just 4-6, theycame into the season with a20-game losing streak afterback-to-back 0-10 finishes.

“It’s nice,” Doenges said.“You move on already andstart thinking about next sea-son, but some of this stuff isstill kinda coming in. Youdon’t have a lot of time to re-flect during the season, so it’snice to spend November andDecember reflecting on thegood and the bad.And usuallyonce we hit January, we’repretty much focused on whatwe need to do for next season.”Doenges has a program in

place that rewards players forthings like good grades, com-munity service, attendingweightlifting sessions, andjust doing the right thing.“It’s like a leadership

standings and they earnpoints for doing good things,”

he said. “And they lose pointsif they get bad grades or don’tattend workouts.”Those at the top of the list

earn things like being first inline at team meals, or whenthere is equipment beinghanded out.“So there are incentives in

place,” he said.His work is far from done.

He’ll be monitoring the gradesof his players throughout theschool year, but especiallyduring the fourth quarter.That’s what football eligibilityis based on.And the players don’t want

to end up at the bottom of Do-enges’ list.“Those guys have to clean

the weight room,” he said.

when we really neededto. This was one we letslip away.”Konner Harris had 17

COLUMBUS, Ohio(AP) — DeshaunThomas scored 21 points— missing nine straightshots at one point andmaking five in a row atanother — to lead No. 7Ohio State pastWinthrop 65-55 on Tues-day night.It was the last tuneup

for the Buckeyes (9-1)before Saturday's re-match with No. 9Kansas. The Jayhawksbeat them twice lastyear, once at Allen Field-

house and then in theFinal Four.Whether Ohio State

was looking pastWinthrop (4-5) andahead to Kansas, orwhether the Eagles justplayed well and theBuckeyes did not, thegame was in doubt untilThomas got hot.Lenzelle Smith Jr.

added 14 points for theBuckeyes, who have wonfour in a row, all at home,since a 73-68 defeat atNo. 2 Duke on Nov. 28.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) —Alec Scheiner has beennamed the new presi-dent of the ClevelandBrowns.Scheiner, 39, will join

Cleveland after eightyears with the Cowboys.He was senior vice pres-ident and general coun-sel with Dallas the lastfive years.Scheiner will quarter-

back the Browns’ day-to-day business operationsin his new post, whichwill begin Jan. 7, andwill focus on improvingthe team’s gameday at-

mosphere at homegames.“We really want to en-

hance the fan experienceeverywhere. Whereverwe can,” he said. “Wehave a challenge, and wewill work hard on it.“We want to create

something that links usto the past, and to thecommunity.”Scheiner, raised in

Lower Merion, Pa., at-tended Georgetown, andin 2008, took over theCowboys’ business oper-ations, which includedfootball analytics. He

was a key cog in the fanexperience at highly re-garded Cowboys Sta-dium, which opened onMay 27, 2009, andhosted the Super Bowlon Feb. 6, 2011.“I want to thank the

Cowboys for making myeight years there some ofthe most rewarding ofmy professional career,”Scheiner said. “I amlooking forward to thischallenge with theBrowns, which I view asa tremendous opportu-nity to start at theground level with a new

and exciting leadershipgroup.”Jimmy Haslam, who

bought the team over thesummer, leads thatgroup, which also in-cludes new CEO JoeBanner.“Jimmy Haslam and

Joe Banner have a greatvision of what they wantthe Cleveland Browns tobecome and I am grate-ful to be able to be a partof it,” Scheiner said. “TheBrowns are an iconicfranchise with an out-standing fan base andtradition. Together, we

hope to do incrediblethings for the organiza-tion.”Whether or not the

coach will be with them— as that long-term vi-sion plays out — re-mains to be seen.Cleveland began theseason 0-5 under PatShurmur, who is in hisseason year. The Brownshave persevered,though, and actually or-chestrated a three-gamewinning streak late inthe year. But they arestill just 5-9 and in lastplace of the AFC North

with two difficult gamesapproaching — Denver(11-3) and Pittsburgh(7-7) — to end the sea-son.“We have not made

decisions, but obviously,as time has gone on, wehave thought about itmore,” said Banner, whosaid staffing decisionswill be made “quickly”after the season finale.“But we’re not at thepoint where we’ve madedefinitive decisions.“Our driving force is

to gather a group ofsmart, effective people.”

For Teenagers* Teens often want to stay abreast of the lateststyles and fashions. However, you may not knowwhat they are. So if you're thinking of gifting withclothing, it may be best to choose among some of thehot stores, such as American Eagle Outfitters,Aber-crombie & Fitch or Hollister for your finds. Or sim-ply give a gift card.* For female teens, gifts that pamper and enablethem to go glam could be appreciated.Various bathgels and scented lotions packaged together wouldbe a nice offering.* Give a teen a subscription to a favorite magazineso they can follow celebrities or sports teams.* Find out if you can pre-pay for texting or minuteson a mobile phone for the teen who is always intouch.* A trial membership to one of the mail-in movieservices from Netflix or Blockbuster enables teensto catch up on all of their favorite flicks.

How can I protect my young daughter?DR. WAL-

LACE: I’m 19,married and themother of aseven-month-old daughter.My husbandand I areblessed to havea beautifulhappy baby. Iwas 17 and myhusband was 18when we weremarried twoweeks after we gradu-ated from high school.We had been going to-gether for three years.We were the exceptionrather than the rule.Both my husband and Iwere virgins when wewere married.

I’m really troubled

about the wan-ton sex thatabounds on tele-vision and inthe movies, es-pecially the sex-u a laggressivenessof the girls andyoung women. Itseems like“everyone isdoing it,” butcommon sensetells me that

shocking sexual displaysare seen mostly on thescreen. Common decencydoesn’t make money.

I want my daughter togrow up with a pureheart and a love for life.What can I do to insurethat my daughterchooses to wait until

marriage before becom-ing sexually active? Iwould die a milliondeaths if my daughterused sex to secure orkeep a boyfriend. —Mother, St. Charles, Ill.

MOTHER: There is astrong correlation be-tween poor self-esteemand how early kids getsexually involved. Chil-dren who are loved andrespected by their par-ents and have an honest,open relationship withmom and dad are muchless apt to be sexuallyactive than those par-ents who feel their chil-dren are a burden thatprohibits their way oflife. High self-esteemwith teens can also be adeterrent for other unde-

sirable qualities, includ-ing drugs, alcohol anddeviant social behavior.Nobody ever said it waseasy to be an effectiveparent, but parents arethe best role models fortheir children. Childrendo what they see andlearn at home.

DR. WALLACE: Ourprincipal thinks thatevery student is a poten-tial drug dealer and al-most every week has asurprise locker search.He picks out about adozen students and hasthe students open theirlockers for a search. Ifthe student refuses, acustodian opens thelocker with a master key.

I never have anything

to hide, but I’m opposedto what I believe to be anillegal search. Doesn’tour Constitution protectus against this type ofbehavior? Don’t studentshave the same rights asadults? — Jordan, Gar-den Grove, Calif.

JORDAN: School of-ficials must follow theguidelines of the FourthAmendment (search andseizure, but in 1985 theSupreme Court of theUnited States ruled thata school official couldsearch and seize if theofficial has “reasonablegrounds for suspectingthat the search will turnup evidence that a stu-dent has violated or is vi-olating the law or rulesof the school.” Since you

don’t have something inyour locker that mightbreak school rules, whyare you so upset? If thelegal search turned up aloaded gun in a class-mate’s locker, the schoolmight have been spareda tragedy.Dr. Robert Wallace
