Elaine Ganley WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Edging toward a punitive strike against Syria, President Barack Obama said Friday he is weighing â&#x20AC;&#x153;limited and narrowâ&#x20AC;? action as the administration bluntly accused Bashar Assadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government of launching a chemical weapons attack that killed at least 1,429 people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; far more than previous estimates â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including more than 400 children.

No â&#x20AC;&#x153;boots on the ground,â&#x20AC;? Obama said, seeking to reassure Americans weary after a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

With France as his only major public ally, Obama told reporters he has a strong preference for multilateral action. He added,

â&#x20AC;&#x153;frankly part of the challenge we end up with here is a lot of people think something should be done but nobody wants to do it.â&#x20AC;?

Halfway around the world, U.S. warships were in place in the Mediterranean Sea armed. They carried cruise missiles, long a firstline weapon of choice for presidents because they can find a target hundreds of miles distant without need of air cover or troops on the ground.

In what appeared increasingly like the preattack endgame, U.N. personnel dispatched to Syria carried out a fourth and final day of inspection as they sought to determine precisely what happened in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attack. The international contingent arranged to depart on Saturday and head to lab-

oratories in Europe with the samples they have collected.

Video said to be taken at the scene shows victims writhing in pain, twitching and exhibiting other symptoms associated with exposure to nerve agents.

The videos distributed by activists to support their claims of a chemical attack were consistent with AP reporting of shelling in the suburbs of Damascus at the time, though it was not known if the victims had died from a poisonous gas attack.

The Syrian government said administration claims were â&#x20AC;&#x153;flagrant liesâ&#x20AC;? akin to faulty Bush administration assertions before the Iraq invasion that Saddam Hussein had weapons of

Edison Community College marks 40 years of service Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Note: This is the first in a five-part series of stories highlighting Edison Community College as it celebrates its 40th year of service.

PIQUA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Celebrating 40 years of service, Edison Community College was chartered to meet a demand for high-quality, affordable college education, focused on serving the residents of Darke, Miami and Shelby counties. As has often been the case, our region was visionary in its timing, as Edison was chartered in 1973, as the first state general and technical college in Ohio under provisions of the Ohio Revised Code. The college was chartered without special local taxation as a two-year, public, coeducational, state-supported insti-

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; President Barack Obama is poised to become the first U.S. leader in three decades to attack a foreign nation without mustering broad international support or acting in direct defense of Americans.

Not since 1983, when President Ronald Reagan ordered an invasion of the Caribbean island of Grenada, has the U.S. been so alone in pursing major lethal military action beyond a few attacks responding to strikes or threats against its citizens.

tution of higher learning with privileges of offering studies in the arts and sciences, technical education, and adult continuing education.

Several events were essential to the establishment of the College. On Jan. 12, 1973, the Ohio Board of Regents authorized the development of a general and technical college in the Darke, Miami and Shelby county area. On May 18 of that year, the regents also granted authority to operate as an approved state-supported institution with the issuance of a charter in the original college name, Edison State General and Technical College. Prior to those occurrences, the Ohio Legislature had appropriated $4 million dollars for constructing and equipping facilities for the permanent campus.

Ohio program to help drugaddicted babies, mothers

Pregnant Ohio woman shot dead; toddler wounded RIPLEY (AP) — A young Ohio woman found shot dead in her car was 5 months pregnant, and her 14-month-old daughter is in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head, authorities and family members said Friday.

In a short news release about the Wednesday night death of Brittany Stykes, 22, the Brown County Sheriff ’s Office did not include a potential motive, and sheriff ’s officials did not return repeated calls for comment Thursday and Friday.

Authorities responded to a call Wednesday night about a single-vehicle crash on State Route 68 north of Ripley, about 45 miles southeast of Cincinnati.

When they arrived, they found Stykes dead from gunshot wounds.

Her baby daughter, Aubree, was still strapped in her car seat, bleeding from a gunshot wound to the head.

Stykes’ aunt, Brenda Pack, cried as she told The Associated Press on Friday that her niece was 5 months pregnant.

“She was a good girl and she was a great mother,” Pack said. “There’s going to be a hole in this family.”

She said Stykes’ 14-month-old daughter, Aubree, was in critical condition but “holding her own” and “making little improvements” at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

Stykes’ mother, Mary Dodson, told WKRC-TV that the family has no idea why someone would have shot her.

“She was on her way home and somebody shot them while they were driving. That’s all we know,” she said.

COLUMBUS — Ohio plans to start a program to help babies who are born addicted to drugs, as officials look to address prescription drug abuse and opiate addiction.

About 200 mothers and babies who are addicted to painkillers and heroin would get treatment and counseling under the $4.2 million, three-year pilot program, Gov. John Kasich’s administration announced Thursday.

Ohio has launched efforts in recent years to crack down on illegal prescription painkiller use and distribution, including changing guidelines for emergency room doctors and closing clinics where doctors were improperly prescribing drugs.

Overdose drug deaths have surpassed car crashes as the leading cause of accidental death in Ohio and several other states.

Ohio has seen a spike in the number of drug-addicted babies, state data shows. In 2011, Ohio had 88 cases per 10,000 live births.

That’s more than six times the rate in 2004, which was 14 per 10,000 live births.

The latest program is expected to curb the costs of specialized care for the newborns by helping the mothers get drug treatment and cutting down

Central Ohio police find 2 bodies in burning car COLUMBUS (AP) — Firefighters and homicide detectives have been called to a central Ohio apartment complex where police say two bodies were found in a burning car.

babies are born.

“By these women being in treatment and receiving medicationassisted therapy, we know what they’re taking,” Hurst said. “And we can appropriately treat the children for withdrawal. And that in and of itself decreases the hospital stay by about 30 percent.”

State officials are using a combination of federal and Ohio dollars to pay for the pilot.

They expect to save about $1.8 million from the reduction of hospital time for the infants.

Hurst said most of the mothers have tenuous housing arrangements and lack a good support system for recovery.

That’s why a portion of the project’s money will go toward housing vouchers for women who need shortterm transitional housing as well as transportation or brief baby-sitting for medical and treatment appointments.

Hospitals, drug treatment centers and other providers will get a chance to apply to participate in the program at the end of the year. The state will then pick two or three sites for the project.

Mothers and babies will start getting help by early 2014, the administrations said.

on the babies’ length of hospital stays in the intensive care unit.

Babies born to mothers who are addicted to painkillers or other opiates experience neonatal abstinence syndrome. Their symptoms include drug withdrawal, respiratory complications, feeding difficulties and sometimes even seizures.

The symptoms can be uncomfortable for an adult. But for newborns who likely have low-birth weights, the nausea and dehydration can be life-threatening, said Dr. Mark Hurst, medical director for the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services.

Caring for the drug-addicted newborns and mothers, who are often on Medicaid, can be costly to the system.

Health care expenses associated with treating babies with neonatal abstinence syndrome topped $70 million in 2011, according to the Ohio Hospital Association.

There were roughly five hospital admissions per day in 2011. And the average length of a hospital stay for newborns with the syndrome is between 14 and 20 days.

Expectant mothers in the state’s new program would undergo a combination of counseling and medication-assisted treatment for their addictions, along with additional help to prevent relapses after the

COLUMBUS (AP) — Backers of Medicaid expansion have started gathering initial signatures in an effort that could put the idea before Ohio voters if the Republican- controlle d Legislature fails to act.

A formal announcement about the campaign and its players is expected to come next week, Jon Allison of the Ohio Alliance for Health Transformation said Friday.

State lawmakers have been trying to find common ground on whether to expand Medicaid health coverage to more low-income people since Republican Gov. John Kasich proposed an extension of the program in February.

GOP leaders pulled it

from the state budget, and the issue has yet to gain traction.

The House speaker recently said his chamber wouldn’t be ready to take any action on Medicaid by October, but more likely by year’s end.

Allison’s broad coalition of Ohio hospitals, business groups, consumer advocates and religious organizations supports Medicaid expansion, as does AARP Ohio.

And they’re focused on getting state lawmakers to approve the program’s extension, Allison said.

“Legislative action to authorize Medicaid expansion remains the No. 1 priority,” he said in a phone interview.

A petition to get the

proposal on the ballot must clear a variety of hurdles to be successful. Supporters have to gather a certain number of valid signatures from registered voters.

Once those are verified, the General Assembly has four months to act on the proposed law. If legislators pass, amend or take no action, then supplemental petitions may be circulated to get it before Ohio voters in November 2014.

The Columbus Dispatch first reported Friday that signatures were being collected in the ballot effort.

Medicaid expansion is one of the key components of Democratic P re s i d e n t B a ra c k Obama’s health care law.

Many Republican law-

makers are averse to the health overhaul and resistant to expanding government programs.

They have cited concerns about increasing the national debt and fears that the money from Washington could be cut off.

Roughly 366,000 Ohioans would be newly eligible for coverage beginning in 2014 by expanding Medicaid.

The federal-state health program for the poor already provides care for one of every five residents in the state.

Washington would pay the entire cost of the expansion for the first three years, gradually phasing down to 90 percent — still well above Ohio’s current level of almost 64 percent.

Quip from Ohio governor’s spokesman draws Dem criticism COLUMBUS (AP) — Democrats are fired up over a quip made by Republican Gov. John Kasich’s spokesman about a state representative.

Democratic Rep. Debbie Phillips, of Albany, has asked the governor’s office for records related to an ousted veteran environmental regulator. Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols told The Columbus Dispatch on Thursday the office had received the lawmaker’s letter — but he went further.

“You’d be hard-pressed to find a job creator that she hasn’t opposed, vilified or protested at some point,” Nichols wrote in an emailed statement to the newspaper. “If she had her way we’d all be living on a collective farm

cooking organic quinoa over a dung fire. So, I think we’ll take her views in context.”

Democratic leaders criticized the comments in a media conference call on Friday and asked for a formal apology from the governor.

Phillips also said she expected better from the governor’s office.

“Mr. Nichols’ comments are an unnecessary distraction from the real question, which is whether Governor Kasich improperly pressured a staffer to resign, simply for doing his job,” she said in a written statement. “I look forward to a substantive response.”

Phillips is seeking correspondence and other documents among Kasich’s office, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency

and coal industry officials regarding George Elmaraghy, the chief of the Ohio EPA’s Division of Surface Water, which issues permits for mining and other activities.

Elmaraghy has said that his departure from the Ohio EPA was being forced by Kasich and agency Director Scott Nally after “considerable pressure” from the coal industry.

The Kasich administration has declined to discuss Elmaraghy’s personnel situation but has defended the integrity of the Ohio EPA’s permitting program.

Nichols said on Friday that Phillips’ records request is being processed. He declined to comment further.

Egypt Brotherhood protests draw tens of thousands

Today is Saturday, Aug. 31, the 243rd day of 2013. There are 122 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 31, 1886, an earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 7.3 devastated Charleston, S.C., killing at least 60 people, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

On this date: In 1688, preacher and novelist John Bunyan, author of “The Pilgrim’s Progress,” died in London.

In 1888, Mary Ann Nichols, apparently the first victim of “Jack the Ripper,” was found slain in London’s East End. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an act prohibiting the export of U.S. arms to belligerents.

In 1941, the radio program “The Great Gildersleeve,” a spinoff from “Fibber McGee and Molly” starring Harold Peary, debuted on NBC. In 1954, Hurricane Carol hit the northeastern Atlantic states; Connecticut, Rhode Island and part of Massachusetts bore the brunt of the storm, which resulted in nearly 70 deaths.

In 1963, French artist Georges Braque, 81, died in Paris.

In 1972, at the Munich Summer Olympics, American swimmer Mark Spitz won his fourth and fifth gold medals, in the 100-meter butterfly and 800-meter freestyle relay; Soviet gymnast Olga Korbut won gold medals in floor exercise and the balance beam.

In 1973, movie director John Ford, 79, died in Palm Desert, Calif.

In 1980, Poland’s Solidarity labor movement was born with an agreement signed in Gdansk (guh-DANSK’) that ended a 17-day-old strike.

In 1986, 82 people were killed when an Aeromexico jetliner and a small private plane collided over Cerritos, Calif. The Soviet passenger ship Admiral Nakhimov collided with a merchant vessel in the Black Sea, causing both to sink; up to 448 people reportedly died.

In 1988, 14 people were killed when a Delta Boeing 727 crashed during takeoff from Dallas-Fort Worth Airport.

In 1991, Uzbekistan (ooz-bek-ih-STAHN’) and Kyrgyzstan (keer-gih-STAHN’) declared their independence, raising to 10 the number of republics seeking to secede from the Soviet Union.

Ten years ago: Vowing revenge and beating their chests, more than 300,000 Shiites (SHEE’-eyetz) marched behind the rose-strewn coffin of a beloved cleric, Ayatollah Mohammad Baqir al-Hakim (BAH’-keer ahl hah-KEEM’), who had been assassinated in a car bombing in Najaf, Iraq.

Why gold is making a comeback

Aussie bookie calls election

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — The politicians insist an opposition victory in next week’s Australian election is not a foregone conclusion. But one betting agency already is declaring a winner.

Sportsbet, Australia’s largest online betting agency, said Thursday it paid out more than 1.5 million Australian dollars ($1.3 million) to punters who had backed Tony Abbott’s conservative opposition Liberal Party to win power at elections on Sept. 7. A victory by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s centerleft Labor Party is priced at AU$11.50 — the longest odds since betting opened immediately after the last election in 2010. This compares with an opposition price on Thursday of AU$1.03.

Betting odds have proved accurate indicators of how Australians intended to vote at past elections.

Sportsbet took the unprecedented step of paying out before a result because it was so confident of an election landslide, spokesman Haydn Lane said.

Rudd said while he was “not a big punter,” his government still had a chance to win a third three-year term. He pointed out that a favorite had only won the Melbourne Cup, Australia’s premier thoroughbred horse race, 35 times in 151 years.

(Far from a two-horse race, the Cup had a field of 24 last year when Green Moon won).

CAIRO — Tens of thousands of protesters and Muslim Brotherhood supporters rallied Friday throughout Egypt against a military coup and a bloody security crackdown, though tanks and armored police vehicles barred them from converging in major squares.

The protests appeared smaller than the mass demonstrations seen in previous weeks, despite a massive push by the Brotherhood for “decisive” rallies across the country after Friday prayers.

The largest protest in the capital, Cairo, had more than 10,000 protesters. Thousands

gathered in other cities, with other smaller protests drawing hundreds, including many women and children.

Protesters marched through the streets chanting slogans against the country’s army chief, Gen. Abdel-Fatah elSissi, who led the popularly backed July 3 coup that toppled President Mohammed Morsi, a longtime leader of the Brotherhood.

“The people want the death of the assassin!” the protesters yelled while waving the Egyptian flag and holding up yellow posters with the outline of a hand showing four fingers. Morsi supporters have used the symbol in online and street campaigns to remember the sit-in protest around the

Rabaah al-Adawiya mosque, which in Arabic means fourth.

Security forces cleared out that sit-in and another one two weeks ago in violent raids that sparked several days of violence. More than 1,000 people, most of them people opposed to Morsi’s ouster, have been killed since. The Interior Ministry says more than 100 policemen and soldiers have also died in the violence.

Many of the protesters Friday were not Brotherhood members. Some said they were only seeking justice for relatives killed by security forces this month or protesting the way in which Morsi, Egypt’s first freely elected president, was removed from power.

Many waved the Egyptian flag

and carried pictures of Morsi.

“When it started, it was only about the return of Morsi to power,” protester Ahmed Osama said. “Now it has gone past that. Blood has been shed.”

While largely peaceful, the protests drew some sporadic violence, as residents angry with the Brotherhood confronted the group’s supporters.

In the Mediterranean city of Port Said, one person was killed in clashes, security officials said. Another 22 residents were wounded by birdshot allegedly fired by the protesters, the officials said.

They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to journalists.

Matt Slocum | Associated Press Members of the local Syrian community march in protest against the United States’ involvement in Syria Friday in Allentown, Pa. President Barack Obama says he hasn’t made a final decision about a military strike against Syria — but is considering a limited and narrow action in response to a chemical weapons attack that he says Syria’s government carried out last week.

Syrians

From page 1 mass destruction. A Foreign Ministry statement read on state TV said that “under the pretext of protecting the Syrian people, they are making a case for an aggression that will kill hundreds of innocent Syrian civilians.”

Residents of Damascus stocked up on food and other necessities in anticipation of strikes, with no evident sign of panic. One man, 42-year-old Talal Dowayih, said: “I am not afraid from the Western threats to Syria; they created the chemical issue as a pretext for intervention, and they are trying to hit Syria for the sake of Israel.”

Obama met with his national security aides at the White House and then with diplomats from Baltic countries, saying he has not yet made a final decision on a response to the attack.

But the administration did nothing to discourage the predictions that he would act — and soon. It was an impression heightened both by strongly worded remarks from Secretary of State John Kerry and the release of an unclassified intelligence assessment that cited “high confidence” that the Syrian government carried out the attack.

Gold is having a summer revival.

The price of gold touched $1,420 an ounce this week, a three-and-a-half month high, as escalating tensions in the Middle East, volatile currency markets and renewed demand for jewelry in China and India pushed prices higher.

Gold has rebounded 15 percent to $1,396 an ounce since sinking to $1,212, its lowest level in almost three years, on June 27. A gain of 20 percent or more would put the metal back in a bull market.

Gold’s resurgence follows a rough ride this year.

Gold slumped 4.8 percent in the first three months of 2013 as the outlook for the economy improved while inflation remained subdued.

For many years prior to that, large investors, like hedge funds, bought the metal as a way to protect their investments against rising prices and a slumping dollar. They feared that the Federal Reserve’s stimulus program could cause prices to rise. But inflation remained subdued and that reduced the need to buy gold. Also, signs in January that the dollar was strengthening diminished the appeal of owning gold.

Then in April, the bottom fell out. A proposal that Cyprus sell some of its gold reserves to support its banks rattled traders, prompting concern that Spain, Italy and other weak

In addition to the dead, the assessment reported that about 3,600 patients “displaying symptoms consistent with nerve agent exposure” were seen at Damascus-area hospitals after the attack. To that, Kerry added that “a senior regime official who knew about the attack confirmed that chemical weapons were used by the regime, reviewed the impact and actually was afraid they would be discovered.” He added for emphasis: “We know this.”

The assessment did not explain its unexpectedly large casualty count, far in excess of an estimate from Doctors Without Borders. Not surprisingly — given the nature of the disclosure — it also did not say expressly how the United States knew what one Syrian official had allegedly said to another.

Mindful of public opinion, Kerry urged Americans to read the fourpage assessment for themselves.

He referred to Iraq — when Bush administration assurances that weapons of mass destruction were present proved false, and a U.S. invasion led to a long, deadly war. Kerry said this time it will be different.

“We will not repeat that moment,” he said.

European economies might also sell and flood the market.

Gold plunged by $140 an ounce, or nine percent, on April 15 as investors unloaded their holdings. That was the biggest one-day decline in more than 30 years.

While the price of gold is still down 17 percent this year, the metal is on the rise.

Here are the factors driving its comeback: A LITTLE INSURANCE One of the reasons people buy gold is that it offers an alternative to more traditional financial assets, says Mike McGlone, director of research at ETF Securities, a provider of commodity-based exchangetraded funds. When financial markets get jittery, investors often buy gold because it is considered one of the safest assets that can easily be converted to cash.

As the stock market soared this year, rising as much as 20 percent, investors had less need to hold gold.

That has changed the last four weeks.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index has lost 4 percent since reaching an all-time high of 1,709.67 on August 2. Traders are concerned about when and by how much the Fed will pare back on its stimulus, a major driver behind the market’s rally.

Strife in Egypt and Syria has also reminded investors that it’s a dangerous world out there: wars can spread and oil prices can spike, hurting

From page 1 promising to limit U.S. military intervention and, as a candidate, said the president “does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.”

But over the last year Obama has warned Syrian President Bashar Assad that his government’s use of chemical weapons in its two-year civil war would be a “red line” that would provoke a strong U.S. response.

So far, only France has indicated it would join a U.S. strike on Syria.

Without widespread backing from allies, “the nature of the threat to the American national security has to be very, very clear,” said retired Army Brig. Gen. Charles Brower, an international studies professor at Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Va. “It’s the urgency of that threat that would justify the exploitation of that power as commander in chief — you have to make a very, very strong case for the clear and gathering danger argument to be able to go so aggressively,” Brower said Friday.

Obama is expected to launch what officials have described as a limited strike — probably with Tomahawk cruise missiles — against Assad’s forces.

Two days after the suspected chemicals weapons attack in Damascus suburbs, Obama told CNN, “If the U.S. goes in and attacks another country without a U.N. mandate and without clear evidence that can

economies and stock markets.

Investors want to add back a little insurance to their portfolios these days.

“If we lived in a perfect world, we would not need gold,” says McGlone. “But since we don’t, we do need something that is the ultimate store of value.”

Investors don’t need to buy gold bars or coins to invest in the metal.

Exchange-traded funds are investments that are similar to mutual funds. Both can be bought and sold on exchanges. Some of these funds, such as ETF’s Physical Swiss Gold Shares and SPDR’s Gold Shares, allow investors to buy into trusts that invest directly in gold.

HAVEN FROM STORMY CURRENCIES The Fed appears close to reducing its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases, and that has stirred up currency prices worldwide, particularly in emerging markets. Investors had previously borrowed in dollars at low rates and then invested in faster growing economies in Asia and Latin America.

Now, that trend is reversing. U.S. interest rates have started to climb in anticipation of the Fed’s reduced stimulus. Investors are selling their emerging-market holdings and converting the proceeds back into dollars.

The value of the Indian rupee against the dollar has plunged by more than 11 percent in August on concerns that surg-

be presented, then there are questions in terms of whether international law supports it; do we have the coalition to make it work?” He said: “Those are considerations that we have to take into account.”

Lawmakers briefed on the plans have indicated an attack is all but certain. And Obama advisers said the president was prepared to strike unilaterally, though France has said it is ready to commit forces to an operation in Syria because the use of chemical weapons cannot go unpunished.

The U.S. does not have United Nations support to strike Syria, and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has urged restraint.

“Diplomacy should be given a chance and peace given a chance,” he said Thursday.

ing oil prices are pushing the country toward an economic crisis. The Indonesian rupiah has also slumped.

When currency markets become volatile, investors worldwide look to invest in safe assets that will hold their value, says Dan Heckman, a national investment consultant who specializes in commodities at US Bank Wealth Management.

“Gold does fit that role,” he says.

JEWELRY BUYERS Speculators like hedge funds were behind the surge in gold over the last decade. That sent gold to a peak of $1,900 an ounce in September 2011. It also priced out a large part of the market — jewelry buyers in countries like India and China.

In those countries, people have traditionally bought jewelry as a way to invest in gold.

When prices slumped this spring, though, those buyers jumped back in because people in those countries bought more gold.

The World Gold Council, a trade group for gold mining companies, says in a report on Aug. 15 that consumer demand for gold surged 87 percent in China in the second quarter, compared with the same period a year earlier. Demand in India climbed by 71 percent.

Gold still remains far below its inflation-adjusted peak. It rose as high as $873 an ounce on Jan. 21, 1980. Adjusted for price increases that would be worth $2,475 in 2013.

My reunion was just like my school years —disappointing school days. Usually after a decade has passed, people have matured enough not to fall into juvenile patterns of exclusion. Either that didn’t happen with your classmates, or you attended the event expect-

ing the worst and managed to find it.

If you have put your past unhappiness behind you, fine. You don’t need to attend another high school reunion. But if the pain and resentment from those days

are still active, the best way to transform those feelings may be to create a different relationship with some of your old classmates.

For your 25th reunion, get on the organizing committee!

can bet I didn’t waste my money to go just to find out who had grandchildren, gained weight, lost their hair, filed for bankruptcy, got divorced or became a millionaire. I had no desire to see people I hadn’t spoken to in years. Obviously, they haven’t been missing from my life.

Why do you think it was so important for this young lady to attend her reunion? Do you really think any of those people who snubbed her in high school are going to suddenly say, “Gee, you look great now and so successful, too, so now I want to be your friend”?

I know I sound bitter, and I’m sure I’m resentful that I didn’t have a happier high school career. But I don’t cry over not having these “popular” people as friends.

Edison From page 1 A 130-acre site east of Piqua was donated for the campus in December 1973 from the Hartzell-Norris Trust. Edison’s Board of Trustees selected Freytag and Freytag of Sidney as architects for the first campus building. Following the governor’s appointment of the nine-member Board of Trustees, action was taken to assure the offering of college courses in the fall of 1973, while the permanent campus was being designed and constructed.

Agreements were signed with the Piqua Board of Education for the temporary use of facilities at

Spring Street Elementary School and the Central High School and with Wright State University for providing instruction in the lower-division general studies courses. Under these arrangements, 309 students enrolled in 30 different courses during the first term of the 1973-1974 academic year.

Edison moved into its now familiar campus off Looney Road in 1976, and work was immediately started on a 1.5 million dollar expansion, which had been appropriated in 1975. On Nov. 4, 1977, by legislative enactment,

the college became Edison State Community College.

Another appropriation of $250,000 for use in constructing athletic fields was awarded during the same year.

By the fall quarter of 1978, the college was the fastest growing two-year college in Ohio with 1,727 students enrolled and more than 150 personnel employed. In addition to increasing its own facilities, the college transferred 20 acres of land to the Piqua Board of Education for construction of a new high school, further contributing to the modern

educational complex that exists today, consisting of Edison State Community College, Piqua Junior and High Schools, and the Upper Valley Career Center.

Within six years of its establishment, the college had enrolled a total of 2,300 credit and noncredit students. The addition of several programs increased the areas of technical study to 19. In keeping with the college’s commitment to provide better education opportunities to the community it serves, a permanent Darke County Campus in Greenville was opened in the spring of 1980, and continues to operate, though it has been renovated to ensure that technology and other services are comparable to those on the Piqua campus. The most recent addition to the Piqua campus was when the Emerson Regional Center of Excellence was dedicated on May 3, 2007. The center is LEED-certified and

now hosts classes, functions, and an area dedicated to the College’s namesake, Thomas Alva Edison.

Edison’s currently serves more than 4,000 unduplicated students per year, who choose from more than 30 technical fields of study, baccalaureate transfer programs, developmental course work, and Business and Industry offerings that provide on-site training, career preparation, and personal enrichment. With so much to offer and with ongoing processes that assure consistent quality, Edison continues to have a sustained, significant impact in the region. Since the doors opened in 1973, Edison has served more than 71,000 students, boasts 9,796 graduates and is excited to be awarding its 10,000th credential during this 40th anniversary year.

Next week, the focus will shift to Edison’s mission over the past 40 years, including access, opportunity, and the college’s brand promise of “A personal experience, a rewarding education.”

From page 1 Good Samaritan Hospital.

Bergman served as a volunteer sideline physician for 25 years getting the opportunity to see the Minster Wildcats win the state championship on the Horseshoe in Columbus.

He has represented the local medical community through leadership activities in the Ohio State Medical Society, the Ohio Academy of Family Practice and the American Academy of Family Practice.

As a child, Bergman delivered the Sidney Daily News. He had also worked at Norb Otting and Bob Prenger’s Mobile Service and the Minster Machine Foundry for two summers.

He was active in Boy Scouting until he was 18 years old. He worked on the staff at Camp Lakota for one year and attended the National Jamboree in Idaho as Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. He also attended a World Jamboree on Mount Fuji in Japan during a typhoon. He earned the rank of Eagle.

When his son, Anthony, joined Minster’s Troop 44, Bergman became active as a scoutmaster, serving from 2001 to 2008. He went with his son to Philmont Scout Ranch for a 10-day experience in mountain camping in New Mexico. He has continued as assistant scoutmaster since 2008.

“One of my passions in Scouting is to maintain the history of Troop 44,” he said. “The troop is now the largest it has ever been in its history.”

Since his retirement, Bergman has become active in the Minster Historical Society.

“I have witnessed the tremendous support of the Minster community many years ago when my daughter was critically injured in an automobile accident,” said Bergman.

“I have witnessed the grief of the community after the terrible accident in 1976. I did miss the opportunity to experience the blizzard of 1978 in Minster.”

Bergman and his wife, the former Betty Nuesmeyer, are the parents of three children, Erin (Travis) Sudhoff, Emily (Michael) DeRan and Anthony.

P&G signs on to support worker nondiscrimination act WASHINGTON, D.C. — Ohio-based Proctor & Gamble, the world’s largest consumer product company, is the latest corporate backer of bipartisan legislation ending workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

P&G joins a long list of Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, and supermajorities of Republicans and Democrats in supporting the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (or ENDA). Currently, in the majority of states, including Ohio, there is no law prohibiting an employer from firing or refusing to hire someone simply because he or she is gay or transgender.

“With Proctor & Gamble’s support, we see once again corporate America leading the charge when it comes to ending workplace discrimination,” said Matt McTighe, campaign manager for Americans for Workplace Opportunity. “Employees should be judged on their talents, and everyone should have the opportunity to provide for their families — one of the most fundamental American values.

ELKHART, Ind. — Thor Industries Inc., parent firm of Airstream of Jackson Center, has acquired the assets of innovative recreational vehicle maker Livin’ Lite through a wholly owned subsidiary.

“We are pleased to welcome Livin’ Lite to the Thor family of RV brands. Adding such a creative RV maker to Thor’s strong stable of brands will enable us to expand our industry-leading position in new product development into camping trailers and truck campers,” said Bob Martin, Thor president and chief executive officer. “We see many opportunities for expanding Livin’ Lite’s market presence through the Thor dealer network, and the ability to leverage their lightweight aluminum and composite construction technology in other Thor products. This transaction represents a solid example of executing our strategic plan to grow our RV presence through the acquisition of brands and technologies that complement our existing business.”

Founded by former Heartland executive Scott Tuttle, Wakarusa, Indiana-based Livin’ Lite is known for its advanced lightweight aluminum construction applied to a variety of smaller RVs, including travel trailers, toy haulers, camping trailers and truck campers. Livin’ Lite also markets its products in partnership with a number of leading consumer brands including Jeep. Having recently been named to Inc. magazine’s list of fastest growing companies for the third consecutive year, Livin’ Lite is expected to generate sales of approximately $24 million for calendar year 2013.

“We are excited to join forces with Thor, the leading company in the RV industry, and we are looking forward to the new growth opportunities we should see as a result,” said Scott Tuttle, president, CEO and founder of Livin’ Lite. “We have worked diligently to grow Livin’ Lite over the past five years and expect to extend that growth as we bring the distribution, operational and financial strengths of Thor to bear on our business. As the newest company to join Thor, we also expect to add to our combined development efforts as we apply our proprietary technology to a broader array of existing product lines and bring our combined market strength to camping trailers and truck campers.”

Thor expects to offer Livin’ Lite’s current 35 models to its current dealer network upon closing of the transaction. The company expects Livin’ Lite will continue to operate out of its existing Wakarusa facilities with minimal disruption to its current business resulting from the acquisition.

Workforce Initiative prepares for next session

Learning about 4-H

ST. MARYS – The West Central Ohio Workforce Development Initiative will be offering a fifth session of the welding course.

Due to continued demand, the WCOWDI will be offering two evening courses beginning on Sept. 9 and Sept.

16. Each course is 90 hours, from 6 to 9:30 p.m. Monday throughThursday on alternating weeks.

“Due to school being back in session, we only have access to the welding booths during the evening. It was necessary for us to be creative in our schedule planning, so that we could accommodate the needs of those seeking to improve their skill set,” said Angela Hamberg, a partner of the WCOWDI. The classes are held at Tri Star Career Compact, Dennings building in St. Marys. At the end of the 90-hour welding course, a certificate is awarded to candidates who successfully completed the classroom instruction and applications.

The welding certification has provided financial benefit for many of the candidates who have went through the program. Eighty percent of the underemployed candidates have acquired better paying positions with the newly attained skillset. Many of the incumbent workers, who have been sponsored by their employer, have also seen financial benefit from the newly attained skill by being qualified to apply for other positions within the company.

In July of 2011, a group of area manufacturing leaders, colleges, career centers, high school officials and local resources had joined together to implement a plan to improve the skill-set and qualifications of workers in the Manufacturing sector. It is the goal of this workforce development effort to make visible the varied types of training that are available to the community and where possible, bring manufacturing training to the local area.

Through this effort, a talent pool of qualified employees can be developed that will assist our communities and ensure a stronger economy.

Through discussions with manufacturing businesses, welding was identified as one of the most in-demand skills in the region. For this reason, the partners of the WCOWDI developed a program that met the basic skills of the trade. Thanks to participating companies and organizations like Parker-Hannafin, The Minster Machine Company, Crown Equipment Corporation, Precision Reflex, Vectren, New Bremen Community Improvement Corporation and Mercer County Development, scholarships are available for candidates who qualify.

For more information about courses available through the WCOWDI, contact Angela Hamberg, Economic Development Director, Village of New Bremen via phone (419-629-2447) or email wdi@hometownopportunity. com.

Bonnie Heidt, of New Knoxville, looks over a display of projects and memorabilia from New Knoxville 4-H clubs dating back to the 1950s that was gathered by the New Knoxville Historical Society. The exhibition was held Sunday in what used to be New Knoxville’s first four-year high school but is now the Hoge Brush Company.

BOE hears reports from principal, superintendent NEW KNOXVILLE — The New Knoxville Board of Education heard various reports during its Aug. 26 meeting.

Reports were given

by Linda Wolf, NKEA President, Linda Tebbe, 7-12 school principal, and Kim Waterman, K-6 principal and superintendent.

In addition to talking about recent and upcoming events, they discussed the results from the OAA tests, third-grade reading guarantee, the changes to the teacher evaluation process, and the new district report card. New Knoxville would have been rated as Excellent with Distinction again this year under the prior rating system.

The board approved substitute employment for the 2013-14 school year for Lester Settlage, Clyde Wessel, Chris Schroer and Larry Rismiller, Dean Settlage, Mike Schneider and Scott Schlosser, all substitute bus drivers; Kim Wirwille, Linda Tebbe, Terry Halko, all substitute van drivers; and Sarah Hull and Dwain Meckstroth, both substitute teachers.

The board hired Michael Schneider, van route driver, and Michelle Dillon and Tammy Merriam, both dishwashers.

The board also approved: • FY14 temporary appropriation modifications.

• A transfer of funds from the 001.0000 General Fund to the 004.9006 Building Fund in the amount equal to .25 percent/1.25 percent income tax levy revenue received in FY14, as stated in the OSFC contract.

• The 2013-14 van and bus routes. The Superintendent may make changes to the route(s), when necessary, throughout the school year.

Board member Brian Lammers thanked the staff, students, volunteers, and community for their efforts with the school, which resulted in an excellent report card.

He also expressed concern with the changes to Progress Book, which

have resulted in some confusion for parents accessing the program.

President Phil Kuck thanked the janitorial staff for their hard work over the summer to get the school clean and shining for the new year.

However, strokes consist of medication the older the relative at the and surgery. Why do you not time of diagnosis, the less inform people that choles-

terol is the culprit when it comes to clogging arteries, and that a diet free of animal protein will eliminate cholesterol problems?

The enormous amount of research and data compiled make a compelling argument for humans to adopt a plantbased diet. — S.A-K. ANSWER: First off, I agree with you that a plantbased diet is likely to prevent many diseases, and I may not have emphasized diet often enough in this column.

However, cholesterol is not the only culprit in vascular disease, and it is clear that even strict vegetarians can develop blockages in their heart and other blood vessels. An interesting study of the blood vessels of ancient humans suggests that the rates of atherosclerosis were similar thousands of years ago, and are present in all cultures, including those whose diets were mainly meat-based, grain-based or plant-based.

Secondly, prevention is different from treatment. By the time someone has had a

heart attack or stroke, the evidence is absolutely clear that medication treatment, with statin drugs, aspirin or other platelet drugs and ACE inhibitor or similar medication reduces overall risk of death.

Even so, it’s NEVER too late to adopt a healthier diet.

As you suggest, a diet high in animal protein (and animal fat) is clearly associated with increased health risks. There is evidence that changing diet radically can stop things from getting worse and even can reverse damage. In the short term, medications still may be necessary, but many people are able to stop taking medicines if the diet works for them.

There are ethical and ecological reasons as well for a plant-based diet.

Odds and ends OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Residents of an Oklahoma town are being asked to avoid drinking tap water until the local utility is sure that it has gotten rid of tiny red worms that wriggled into the water system.

Worms ranging from a half-inch to an inch long showed up this week in the water supply in Colcord, a small town near the Arkansas border about 80 miles east of Tulsa. Taking showers with the invertebrates is apparently OK. City councilman Terry Wood said city water was turned back on Wednesday morning after workers cleaned, drained and re-cleaned the water tower.

No worms were found in the tower, he said. “We are still looking into this problem. I mean we need to get to the bottom of it and we will continue to investigate and do pretty much what we need to do to find out what happened here,” Wood said.

Residents are being asked not to consume the water or use it to brush teeth or prepare food, Wood said, but it can be used for showers and other activities.

Erin Hatfield, spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, said it’s uncommon for red worms to show up in a water system in the state, though it’s fairly common in the southeastern United States.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Sunday, Sept. 1, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might want to introduce reforms at work. If so, don't hesitate to suggest your ideas for improvement.

People will listen.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You make a great impression on young people today, which is why you can teach them if you have the opportunity. Your impulse is simply to improve things.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Look for ways to improve areas at home related to laundry, plumbing, garbage and recycling. You also might have ideas about renovations.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You are convincing and persuasive today, which means this is a strong day for those of you who sell, market, teach, act or write for a living. You have influence!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might see new ways to earn money. This could mean a different job or doing something on the side that boosts your earnings.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Take a serious look in the mirror today, and ask yourself what you can do to improve your image. After all, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your powers of deduction and your research abilities are excellent today.

If you're looking for answers or solutions, you just might find them.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Because you feel so forceful today, you might be surprised that you can exert influence on a group. People will listen to you, especially if you want to improve the lot of everyone.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a good day to investigate or study something. You might persuade people in power to give you permission to do this or, better yet, give you the help you need.

Jackets hang on for 19-16 win

By Ken Barhorst

kbarhorst@civitasmedia.com

When a game comes down to almost the final play, there’s nothing wrong with a team having a little luck.

That was the case Friday night when Sidney held off the St. Marys Roughriders at the end to come away with a thriller, 19-16, in the football season opener at Sidney Memorial Stadium.

The Jackets, who play at Bellefontaine next week, took the lead with 27 seconds left in the third quarter, and after forcing a Roughrider punt on the first possession of the final period, they looked ready to put the game away with an impressive drive that started at their own 10 following a punt.

Sidney kept the ball for 10 plays and drove to the St. Marys 10. But on a firstdown play, the Jackets were called for holding and it short-circuited the drive. A third-and-18 pass was intercepted in the endzone and the Roughriders took over at their own 20 with 5:06 remaining.

The St. Marys ground game, which was potent most of the night, started picking up huge chunks of yards, getting firstdown runs on the first three plays of the drive. The Rider backs averaged 8.6 yards on the first seven plays of the drive, and that got the ball down to the Sidney 10.

After gaining a yard on first down, the Riders moved five yards closer on an encroachment penalty on the Jackets to put it on the four.

After losing a yard on second down, the Riders gained two on a quarterback keeper on third down to put the ball at the three and set up the finish.

Some could wonder why the Riders didn’t go for a game-tying field goal, but the play called was there. There were actually two receivers wide open on the play and the quarterback went for the tight end. The ball hit him chest high and bounced in the air, and his backward momentum prevented him from reaching back and bringing the ball in.

It hit the ground and the Sidney sideline erupted.

“Both teams had their chances to take SDN Photo | Todd B. Acker control of the game,” said Sidney coach Sidney running back Eric Barnes dodges a tackle at Sidney Memorial Stadium Friday night against St. Marys. Adam Doenges after his second straight

win over his alma mater. “Our defense gave up a lot of yards on the ground, but they came up and made the plays when they had to.”

Sidney scored on its first possession on a 74-yard drive that featured four-for-six passing from Jordan Fox. The score came despite Fox having to chase down a bad snap. He picked it up and lofted a perfect pass to Scott Stewart in the endzone for a 15-yard score, though the pass came from out near the 25.

St. Marys responded with a 40-yard field goal by Clayton Trogdlon, but Sidney, after a great interception by Zach Scott, returned the favor when Danny Dean connected from 30 yards out for a 10-3 lead.

The Riders then tied it when quarterback Isaac Fitzgerald scored on a 9-yard run with 7:28 left in the first half.

The Sidney defense then came up with a huge stop. Another bad snap was recovered by St. Marys on Sidney’s 15 and the Riders drove to the 2. But on third-andgoal, they fumbled and Sidney recovered on its own 1-yard line.

The Jackets then launched an impressive 99-yard scoring drive that ended with a 26-yard field goal by Danny Dean for a 13-10 Sidney halftime lead.

Unofficially, the Roughriders rolled up 271 yards on the ground. Sidney had 126, 89 of those in the second half, with Fox doing most of the carrying.

He was also 14-of-30 passing for 182 yards and a touchdown.

Redskins score in final seconds to hand Minster 21-18 setback

By Matt Zircher MINSTER — In a game that was back and forth the entire night, Fort Loramie had the final say as a Delaunte Thornton touchdown with 15 seconds left gave the Redskins a 21-18 victory over the Minster Wildcats in the season opener for both teams here Friday night.

On a hot August night, the fireworks started early as Minster’s Jacob Dues gathered in an onside kick and took it for 54 yards and the touchdown just seven seconds into the contest.

Loramie, though, answered right back with a six-play drive that covered 56 yards, started by a 36-yard Thornton run. The senior back later scored from three yards out to give the Redskins a 7-6 edge with still 10:36 remaining in the opening period.

From there, both teams had opportunities during the rest of the period, but each came away empty thanks to three interceptions and two fumbles.

On its first series in the second quarter, the Redskins faced a third and 15 at the Minster 46 before quarterback Tyler Kazmaier connected with Craig Fullenkamp for a 23-yard pass up the middle to keep the drive alive. Loramie again had a third down situation at the Wildcat 20, but Kazmaier and Fullenkamp came through again with a touchdown pass to make it 14-6 with 7:30 to play.

The Redskins appeared to be in control with the 14-6 lead until a 20-yard interception return

by Eli Wolf trimmed the margin to two at the 6:47 mark of the third period.

Minster then regained the advantage on the opening play of the fourth quarter as a Sam Dues one-yard run made it 18-14.

Loramie drove down to the Wildcat three on the following series, but came away empty on a fourth-down pass, giving Minster the ball back.

The Wildcats, though, could only manage one first down before Ethan Wolf tried to pick up one on a fourth-down play on a pass that was intercepted at the 38.

That gave the Redskins one last chance with

2:22 left and following completions of 15 and 16 yards, respectively, Loramie had a first and goal on the seven.

Thornton picked up five yards on first down, but the Redskins later faced fourth and goal at the one with 19 seconds left.

After a Loramie timeout, Thornton went left with the carry untouched to put the Redskins up 21-18. Minster had one final chance, but after quarterback Josh Nixon hit Wolf with a 28-yard pass, his desperation toss went incomplete as time expired.

“We knew that this game was going to be a barnburner,” said Loramie coach Matt Burgbacher.

“Both teams were going to have ups and downs, so it was going to be important to bounce back.

Every time Minster did something, we were able to come up with an answer and I was proud of the effort that we gave out there tonight.”

“We played better in the second half, but the tougher team won tonight,” said Minster coach Geron Stokes. “We played tough in the second half because we felt our backs were against the wall, but Loramie came out and played that way the entire game.”

Thornton finished with 115 yards on the ground for Loramie while Dues had 106 for the Wildcats. Loramie hosts New Bremen next week while Minster is at Lehman.

Score by quarters Loramie 7 7 0 7 21 Minster 6 0 6 6 18 Scoring summary: Minster — Dues, 54-yard kickoff return (kick failed) Loramie — Thornton, 3-yard run (Stripling kick) Loramie — Fullenkamp, 20-yard pass from Kazmaier (Stripling kick) Minster — Wolf, 20-yard interception return (run failed) Minster — Dues, 1-yard run (pass failed) Loramie — Thornton, 1-yard run (Stripling kick)

Greg Spearman of Lehman Catholic tries to break away from Shaun Wenrick of Anna in high school football action at Anna Friday night.

Williams rushes for 310 yards, Rockets roll past Cavs 40-14 ANNA — Anna remained perfect against county football rival Lehman, routing the Cavaliers behind the punishing running of Christian Williams Friday night at Booster Field, 40-14.

The Rockets make a long road trip next Friday night, playing at Brookville. Lehman tries to even its record next week, hosting the 0-1 Minster Wildcats.

Friday’s game came down to the Cavaliers being unable to stop Anna running back Williams. When it was over, he had rushed for 310 yards on 28 carries, including 183 on 20 carries in the first half, when the Rockets rolled out to a 21-0 lead.

Williams scored from eight yards out in the first quarter to open the scoring. Shaun Wenrick’s kick made it 7-0.

Quarterback Josh Robinson then scored the first of his two rushing touchdowns in the second quarter, from a yard out, to make it 14-0.

Following the score, the Cavaliers got a good kick return back to near midfield, and drove the ball down to the Anna 4-yard line.

But on a fourth-down play, Nathan Arling of Anna sacked the quarterback for a 4-yard loss.

It was a pivotal play because the Rockets responded with a quick trip down the field to another score, thanks to Williams busting one for 57 yards to the 38. A couple plays later, Jordan Jurosic shook loose from 24 yards out to give the Rockets a 21-0 bulge at the half.

Things went from bad to worse for the Cavaliers in the third quarter when starting quarterback Nick Rourke was knocked out

of the game.

The Rockets scored twice more in the third quarter on a 1-yard run by Williams and a 22-yard run by Robinson to make it 34-0.

Lehman got on the board when Steven Monnin, Rourke’s fill-in, hit Drew Westerheide on a 13-yard scoring strike. And after recovering an onside kick, the Cavaliers scored again on a 13-yard pass from Monnin to Clay Selsor.

Anna capped the scoring when Williams broke one from 57 yards away.

In addition to Williams, Robinson also had a good night for the Rockets, connecting on 9-for-16 passing for 122 yards.

Score by quarters: Lehman 0 0 0 14—14 Anna 7 14 13 6—40

Browns looking to climb out of cellar TOM WITHERS

AP Sports Writer

CLEVELAND — For his entire pro career, Joe Thomas has known nothing but change, misery and losing.

Welcome to Cleveland.

Oh, sure, he’s made six straight Pro Bowls with the Browns, earning the reliable and durable left tackle a yearly trip to Hawaii.

Thomas, though, would trade all those vacations for one visit to the postseason.

“I want to go the playoffs,” Thomas said earlier this summer. “It’s no fun playing in the NFL when you’re going 4-12 every year.

It’s just not, it’s drudgery.”

Those dreary days could be over.

With a first-year head coach who understands Cleveland’s passion, more experienced players and a committed owner in Jimmy Haslam, the Browns appear to be on the verge of turning their fortunes. It’s been six years since they had a winning record, and 11 since their last playoff appearance, but Thomas believes the Browns are poised to contend.

And when he closes his eyes, Thomas envisions a wintry day in January near Lake Erie when football, the way it once was in Cleveland, is back.

“I think about the day of me running out of the tunnel for a home playoff game, that’s my dream,” he said. “That’s why I show up every day.”

If the Browns are indeed going to improve, they must gain ground in the rugged AFC North. Cleveland is just 16-50 inside one of the league’s toughest divisions and only 5-25 in the past five years.

Here’s are five things to watch as Cleveland enters the 2013 season: CHUD’S IN CHARGE: Like so many kids growing up in Ohio, Rob Chudzinski had his heart broken by the Browns. It’s his job to try and fix a few. Cleveland’s offensive coordinator in 2007 — when the Browns went 10-6 — Chudzinski takes over the team he rooted for as a youngster and one that has chewed up and spit out coaches at

an alarming rate.

Chudzinski, he’s “Chud” to everyone, is Cleveland’s sixth coach since 1999. He spent the past two years as Carolina’s offensive coordinator. With the Panthers, he directed a record-breaking offense he hopes to replicate in Cleveland. To assist him, the Browns hired offensive coordinator Norv Turner and defensive guru Ray Horton, two of the best coordinators on the market with proven track records.

Turner’s job is to get the most out of second-year quarterback Brandon Weeden, who has the physical tools and could thrive in an offense designed to his strengths.

RICHARDSON READY TO RUMBLE: His ribs healed and 10 pounds lighter than AP Photo | Jeff Roberson a year ago, running back Trent Richardson is set for a breakout season — as long as Cleveland Browns head coach Rob Chudzinski, right, talks with an official during the first half of a he stays healthy.

Miller feels at home as Buckeyes’ star QB Ohio State-Buffalo preview capsule COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State’s Braxton Miller handled the question like he might a hardcharging lineman, by deftly eluding it.

Asked if he considered himself a running quarterback who could pass or vice versa, he laughed and said, “Both.”

Miller seems to handle everything with ease these days.

Heading into Saturday’s 2013 season opener against Buffalo, the junior is confident and comfortable, surrounded by solid players and assured that this will be a special year.

“The beginning of last year, they had thrown the new offense at me,” Miller said of the transition to Urban Miller’s new coaching staff and spread attack. “Sometimes, I’d be, like, ‘Man, I forgot what the route was backside.’ But I’m comfortable with everything this year. And I’m ready.”

the huddle.

“It’s a little different for me. I think everybody else only sees his quiet side,” said his good friend and backup, Kenny Guiton. “But I’m with him all the time so I get to know exactly who he is. He’s the same person to me. He’s goofy, he loves to play around. His leadership has stepped up a lot, though. A lot.

He’s talking more on the field now.”

A year ago, while leading the Buckeyes to a surprising 12-0 season, Miller set a school record for total offense, leading the team with 1,271

rushing yards, scoring 13 touchdowns and also adding 2,039 passing yards and 15 scores with just six interceptions.

It’s doubtful he’ll run the ball very much this time around. He ran out of necessity in 2012.

“I hope that doesn’t happen,” Meyer said. “He was by far our best player and when I say by far, I mean, it wasn’t even the same hemisphere as far as who the next player was that could go make a play and help us win. …

If Braxton is leading (in rushing) this year, that means something’s not going well.”

WHAT’S AT STAKE Buffalo is getting $1 million to make the short trip to Ohio Stadium.

There are 13 native Ohioans on the Bulls’ roster, and they’d very much like to avoid a humiliating loss. Meanwhile, Ohio State is primed for a big season and is hoping to use this as a tuneup for bigger games ahead.

KEY MATCHUP Buffalo LB Kahlil Mack vs. Ohio State’s up-tempo offense. The Buckeyes averaged 37 points a game last year and that was with an attack that relied heavily on QB Braxton Miller’s legs instead of his arm. Coach Urban Meyer, a major proponent of the nohuddle, hurry-up spread

offense, wants to get a lot of people involved, throw more to the backs and stretch defenses to the sidelines. Mack, considered one of the top ‘backers at the college level, will have a busy day trying to fend off blockers and cover H-back Jordan Hall out of the slot and backfield.

PLAYERS TO WATCH Buffalo: QB Joe Licata.

He led the Bulls to three wins in four games to end last year’s 4-8 campaign.

Now he’ll be asked to sustain that. RB Branden Oliver rushed for 821 yards in 2012 despite missing five games.

Ohio State: Noah Spence, Joel Hale, Michael Bennett and Adolphus Washington are the four new starters on the D-line.

Josh Perry and Curtis Grant are the first-year starters at LB. FACTS & FIGURES The Buckeyes will be without three suspended starters: RB Carlos Hyde (the team’s leading scorer last year), RB Rod Smith (Hyde’s top backup) and CB Bradley Roby (the best returning defensive player). …

Could be make-or-break season for Buffalo coach Jeff Quinn, 9-27 in his 3 years. He’s gone from 2-10 to 3-9 to 4-8. … Ohio State has not lost to an unranked nonconference opponent at home since a 34-17 setback to Florida State on Oct. 2, 1982, a string of 61 straight. … Miller needs 14 yards rushing for 2,000 in his career and 95 to pass Cornelius Greene (2,080) to become Ohio State’s all-time leading rusher among QBs … Meyer in his second seasons at Bowling Green (9-3), Utah (12-0) and Florida (13-1) is 34-4 with a national championship (2006, Florida).

Weekly fishing forecast Squirrel season opens Sunday

LAKE ERIE

Western Basin Walleye fishing was good over the past week. The best areas were E of West Sister Island, around “L”, “C” and “E” cans of the Camp Perry firing range, NW of North Bass Island along the Canadian border, on West Reef, W of Rattlesnake Island, and along the Canadian border NE of Kelleys Island. Trollers have been catching fish on worm harnesses or with divers and spoons.

Drifters are casting mayfly rigs or weightforward spinners tipped with worms.

Yellow perch fishing was best 1-2 miles N of the Toledo water intake, near the turnaround buoy of the Toledo shipping channel, off Little Cedar Point, both SE and W of West Sister Island, around “B” and “C” cans of the Camp Perry firing range, NW of Rattlesnake Island and Green Island, on the dumping grounds E of Marblehead, off of Cedar Point, and 1-5 miles E of Kelleys Island. Perch spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish.

Largemouth bass fishing continues to be good in harbors and nearshore areas around Catawba and Marblehead.

Central Basin Walleye fishing has occasionally been good around the SW corner of the sandbar (N of Vermilion), W of Ruggles Reef, and around the Huron dumping grounds trolling crankbaits or worm harnesses. Excellent fishing, the best of the year, was reported in 70-72’ of water NE of Ashtabula and in 68-72’ of water N-NE of Conneaut. Anglers are trolling wire line with pink, white, orange, yellow and green stick baits.

Yellow perch fishing has been fair in 47’ of water N of Edgewater Park and in 65’ of water N of Gordon Park. Excellent fishing in 56-58’ of water NW of Fairport Harbor, in 46-60’ of water NE of Geneva, in 58-70’ of water NE of Conneaut. Spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish. Shore fishing off the Cleveland area piers has been slow.

Smallmouth and largemouth bass fishing has been good in 10 to 20’ of water around harbor areas in Cleveland, Fairport Harbor, Geneva, Ashtabula and Conneaut. Anglers are using nightcrawlers, soft-craws, leeches and tube jigs.

White Bass fishing has been good with larger fish being caught off the E. 55th St and E 72nd St Piers in Cleveland and the short pier in Fairport Harbor. Evenings have been the best. On the lake, look for gulls feeding on shiners at the surface; the white bass will be below. Anglers are using agitators with jigs and small spoons.

Channel Catfish are being caught off the Edgewater and E 55 St piers in Cleveland in the evenings. Catfish are also being caught in the Grand River. Anglers are using nightcrawlers.

The water temperature is 72 degrees off of Toledo and 72 degrees off of Cleveland according to the nearshore marine forecast.

COLUMBUS — Ohio’s squirrel hunting season opens Sunday, Sept. 1, when many hunters will go to the woods with the opportunity to take as many as six squirrels per day, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).

Ohio’s squirrel season is a longtime tradition for many hunters. Ample hunting opportunities are available for fox, gray, black and red squirrels. This is an excellent time to take a young person hunting, or scout for the upcoming deer and fall wild turkey hunting seasons. Legal hunting hours for squirrels are one half-hour before sunrise to sunset daily, and the season runs through Jan. 31.

Squirrel season will be closed during the one-week statewide deer gun season, Dec. 2-8.

The eighth annual Squirrel Hunting Cooperator Survey conducted by the ODNR Division of Wildlife compared hunter results and nut crop ratings to provide an index of Ohio’s squirrel population status. The abundance of nut crops is a good indicator of squirrel populations for the following year. The statewide nut production ratings for the fall of 2012 was

higher than 2011. All tree species, except beech, showed above average production in 2012. However, a cold winter in 2012-2013 may have negatively impacted squirrel densities. The 2013-2014 harvest may not equal the above average harvests of the past two seasons, although a good harvest is still expected for this season.

Primary fox squirrel range occurs in the agricultural landscapes in northeastern and western Ohio, whereas the primary gray squirrel range is in the extensively forested east-central, southeastern and south-central Ohio. Gray squirrels are more dependent on hard mast such as acorns and hickory nuts, and their abundance is closely tied to the mast crop of the previous fall. Fox squirrels are less dependent upon mast crop resources and are more likely to consume supplemental food in agricultural areas.

Hunters who wish to participate in the Squirrel Hunting Cooperator Survey, designed to track trends in nut crops and squirrel populations across Ohio, should contact the Waterloo Wildlife Research Station, 360 E. State St., Athens, Ohio 45701, at 740-589-9930 for more information.

New Divison of Watercraft chief named COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ (ODNR) Director James Zehringer announces Gary Obermiller, a veteran ODNR administrator and law enforcement officer, as the chief of the ODNR Division of Watercraft. Obermiller, who will begin his duties on Friday, Nov. 1, replaces Rodger Norcross who is retiring after 25 years of service.

“Gary Obermiller is a dedicated public servant who will continue to serve Ohioans and keep the state’s waterways safe,” said Zehringer. “Gary has decades of experience with ODNR and is wellsuited to lead one of our most visible and vital divisions.”

Norcross has spent his entire career with ODNR. Prior to becoming chief of the division in 2011, he worked within the ODNR Office of Law Enforcement

and as a watercraft area supervisor.

“I applaud Rodger Norcross for his excellent leadership and dedication to the department and the ODNR Division of Watercraft,” said Zehringer. “I wish Rodger and his family all the best and look forward to seeing him on the water.”

Obermiller, a Huron County native, began working as a seasonal employee with ODNR in 1984. Commissioned in 1987, he became a district preserve manager for the ODNR Division of Natural Areas and Preserves in 1995. In 2000, he was promoted to north region preserve manager and in 2004 assumed the role of law enforcement administrator, in addition to his field management duties.

In December 2009, Obermiller was named program administrator for the division and assumed management of all field and central support operations.

SOUTHWEST OHIO

Caesar Creek (Clinton, Greene, and Warren counties) - Anglers casting in-line spinners and crankbaits are catching muskellunge. Muskie are also being taken in the smaller creeks leading into the lake. If you catch a muskie please report your catch to the Division of Wildlife’s Muskie Angler Log at http://www.ohiodnr.com/muskielog/welcome. aspx .

The Muskie Angler Log was developed in partnership with the Ohio Muskie Anglers as a resource for Ohio Muskie anglers and to support muskie management efforts in Ohio by providing valuable muskie catch data to the Ohio Division of Wildlife. Saugeye anglers are catching a few 15-to-18 inch fish from six-to-15 ft depths, but most fish are small.

Troll medium or deep diving crankbaits along submerged points or underwater humps. Cast or drift with live night crawlers on a bottom bouncing harness rig, or use a lead head jig tipped with a piece of worm. Fish in the early morning and early evening hours. Channel catfish are being caught by shore anglers using night crawlers, shrimp, and chicken livers.

Fish the bait tight line along the bottom in five-to-eight foot depths.

C. J. Brown Reservoir (Clark County) - A few walleye are being caught by anglers using crankbaits, jigs with plastic bodies or curly tails, small spinners, or live minnows, leeches, or nightcrawlers. Good curly tail color choices are white, orange, pink, or chartreuse. Fish by slowly jigging, trolling or drifting baits in 10-to-15 foot depths. Anglers report that the most successful bait has been silver or gold blade baits. Anglers report walleyes are being caught in the main lake river channel, around structure, and over the humps. The best fishing is in the very early morning hours. Most walleye are undersized fish but some legal fish are being caught.

REMEMBER all walleye less than 15 inches long must be immediately released back into the lake.

Channel catfish are being caught by anglers using shad, shrimp, nightcrawlers, and chicken livers in the upper end of the lake. Fish the bait tight line or slowly drift the bait along the bottom in three to six foot depths.

OHIO RIVER

Western Ohio River (Cincinnati to Adams County) - Fishing has been slow with most action round Meldahl Dam or the tributaries running into the Ohio. Try chicken livers or cut bait for catfish. Blue cats are being taken in the downtown Cincinnati area on skip jack.

CENTRAL OHIO

O’Shaughnessy Reservoir (Delaware County) - This 912 acre reservoir north of Columbus is a good place to catch largemouth bass and channel catfish. For largemouth bass try tubes, spinner baits and crankbaits around shoreline cover, drop offs and points. Channel catfish can be caught on cut baits, night crawlers, and shrimp fished on the bottom.

Crappies will move shallower as water temperatures decrease; try fishing around woody cover using minnows and jigs. NORTHWEST OHIO Killdeer Plains Reservoir (Wyandot County) - Located 10 miles southwest of Upper Sandusky along State Route 67, Killdeer Reservoir features a new floating boat ramp and 241 acres of fishable water. Channel catfish should be biting this month. Try fishing along the south and east shores. Night crawlers or cut baits fished tight lined on the bottom, or just off bottom using slip bobbers produce the best results. There is a 10 horsepower limit on the reservoir.
