Volunteers sought for festival Crash kills husband and wife

WAPAKONETA — A Fort Recovery couple were killed in a two-vehicle crash Friday afternoon on Ohio 29, west of Washington Pike, in Auglaize County. Killed were Linus U. Braun, 77, and his wife, Virginia Braun, 72, according to the Wapakoneta Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol. The crash occurred about 1 p.m. Linus Braun was driving a van southeast on Ohio 29 when he went left of center and struck a car that was going northwest head on. The car was driven by Judy Zink, 58, of St. Marys. The Brauns were taken by St. Marys Emergency Medical Service to Joint Township District Memorial Hospital in St. Marys, and then by CareFlight to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, where they was pronounced dead. Zink also was taken to Joint Township Hospital. She had apparent nonlife-threatening injuries. It was not determined if the vehicles’ occupants were using seat belts. Alcohol was not believed to be a factor in the crash, the patrol said. The crash remains under investigation.

County commissioners consider repairs at transfer station S helby County Commissioners visited the county’s solid waste transfer station recently to view areas that need to be repaired. The commissioners met at the transfer station where Ray Lewis, Season Wall and Nathan Taylor, all from Republic Services, gave a tour of the facility. They pointed out several areas at the dump stations — both A and B sides — that have some failing concrete and cracks, and broken welds in the metal walls. Also, the steel bottom slide plates at the edge of

the pit opening have been damaged and in some areas completely torn away from their mounted positions, according to information provided by Pam Steinke, commissioners clerk. The Republic Services representatives said the latest Health Department inspections require these items to be repaired or replaced. There were also a few pieces of sheet metal wall that have been damaged over the years and also need to be replaced just above the pit area. The Republic Services rep-

resentatives estimated the cost to make the repairs would be about $20,000. The commissioners advised them that competitive price quotes would need to be obtained. The county will explore possible funding options and responsibilities to make the repairs. In other business, the commissioners approved a contract to use Moving Ohio Forward Program grant funds.

Applefest From page 1 County high school bands. The quilt show, exhibited in the Senior Center, drew 265 visitors Saturday, according to Farrell Kaplan. That was a much larger attendance than in recent years and Sunday crowds remained steady. Tilda Phlipot, one of the festival organizers, said that the flower show had more entries than ever. “And they’re more beautiful than ever, too,” she said. Food stands that offered apple dumplings for sale ran out early. “We went home (after the first day) and baked until two in the morning, and sold out of those right away, too,” said Don Tangeman, of Sidney, who was assisting

a baked goods vendor in the farmers market. The Sam Watkins Memorial Car Show comprised a whopping 105 vehicles on Saturday. “They always come out to remember Sam,” Esser said. Kent Wolters and Sarah Barr were the car show chairpeople. “I was surprised by the turnout,” Wolters said. “The top 20 cars were pretty tough to pick. I wasn’t judging, but it was hard.” Judges Jim Hall, Keith McClain and Cecil Steele chose a 1971 Dodge Dart owned by Jerry Van Tilburgh, of Sidney, as the best of show. In the kids activities tent, youngsters were lined up to make sand art and have their faces painted. Big Brothers Big Sisters had taken enough

materials Sunday for 100 children to make apple necklaces and had used up 75 packets within the first two hours of the day. Velina Bogart, a Big Brothers Big Sisters board member from Sidney, said the organization participated to raise awareness of its programs. Lisa Adams, 11, and her brother, Matthew, 3, of Sidney, had a good time filling bottles with sand art. “We did it because my brother wanted to,” Lisa said. “It was fun.” The children of John and Tara Adams had also enjoyed watching karate demonstrations on Saturday. Records were not broken everywhere, however. Roger Lentz, of Anna, said that the Grown in Shelby County contest was a bit smaller than in previous years. “I always like for Applefest to be a county event,” he said, noting that although entries

were fewer, competition was fierce among the farmers who submitted apples, soybeans, tomatoes, wheat and corn. The pumpkin contest was a mother/daughter affair. Kennedy Hughes’s 96-pound entry beat out her mother, Terri’s, smaller one. In the crafters tent, people looked a lot, but purchased less. “It’s been a nice festival,” said David Rowley, of DeGraff, who displayed his hand-turned wooden bowls, plates, tops and other items. “I haven’t been real busy. I get to talk to a lot of people. I’ve made a little money — not a lot, but a little.” Despite his lack of sales, he said he’d probably be back next year. What did sell well was food. For several people interviewed by the Daily News, that’s their favorite part of the festival. Roger Fent, of Springfield, did a brisk business in bottled root

beer and bags of nuts. He’s been an Applefest vendor since 2003. “You have a lot for everybody here,” he said. “If you can’t find something to mingle with or do, you’re driving by.” Estella Ping and Ida Baker, both of Sidney, raved about french fries. So did a group of Sidney pre-teens sitting on the courtsquare lawn. Amerian McClellan, 10, son of Deidre McClellan; Tyler Murphy, 12, son of Tamara Lucas; Devin Taborn, 10, son of Leigh Allspawn and Cardy Taborn; Marques White, 10, son of Stacey and Monica White; Tywone Arrone, 12, son of Ruby Arrone; Jared Stanley, 12, son of Dawn Applegate and John Stanley; and Makira Webster, 12, daughter of Eric and Nicole Webster, couldn’t get enough of the salty treats. Ping and Baker had attended every Applefest. Besides the food, what kept them going back is the entertainment. “And the people,” Ping said. “Seeing friends you don’t get to see.” This year, they were looking forward to seeing Baker’s daughter with a YMCA cheerleading squad in the parade. Also awaiting the parade, which had 65 units registered by Friday, were Robert Fathauer and Nikki Poppe, of Mantua.

Poppe is a Jackson Center native whose sister was marching with the high school band. Fathauer, at his first Applefest, particularly enjoyed the pizza. Jim and Joan Romaker have not missed an Applefest. “It’s something to do,” Jim said. “It’s a nice variety, with arts and crafts,” Joan said. Sitting along the parade route, they were looking forward to seeing a great-granddaughter march by. “I could be home watching football,” Jim laughed. What they, too, liked best about the festival was the food. In their case, it was ice cream and apple dumplings. “And we like Spot hamburgers,” Jim added. The event drew people of all ages, from young families which babies in strollers and toddlers by the hand, to teenagers roaming the courtsquare in small groups, to elderly couples with their arms around each other during a concert by the Sidney Civic Band Saturday morning. “You know you’re building a tradition when people are seeking specific events, specific foods,” Chairwoman Esser said. “You know you’re doing something right when it’s growing and people are looking for it, expecting it to be here.”

REYNOLDSBURG —The Ohio Department of Agriculture is working with animal health experts to determine the cause and origin of a series of dog illnesses in the state. The department is also urging veterinarians in the state to contact the Division of Animal Health if they suspect any animals in their care are suffering from the same disease. The department’s Division of Animal Health has been taking reports of severe dog illnesses in several parts of the state for the past three weeks. Affected dogs have exhibited similar symptoms including vomiting, bloody diarrhea, weight loss and lethargy. Although there are several known causes of these symptoms in dogs, it is generally believed that there is an unknown contributor to the cases. Owners of dogs with similar symptoms should contact their veterinarian immediately. The department has also recommended concerned dog owners take standard precautions used to reduce the spread of viral infections, including monitoring the animal closely for signs of illness and refraining from co-mingling them with other dogs. As part of its investigation, the department also announced the presence of canine circovirus in a fecal sample taken from an ill dog in the state. This is the first laboratory detection of canine circovirus in Ohio. Further work is being done to verify the significance of this finding. The Ohio Department of Agriculture will continue to investigate the situation and urge veterinarians who believe they are treating dogs with similar symptoms to consult the Division of Animal Health by calling (614) 728-6220.

Foes of Medicaid growth in Ohio target GOP backer John Seewer Associated Press

TOLEDO (AP) — Conservative groups that warned Republican lawmakers in Ohio not to support the governor’s plan to expand Medicaid are now setting their sights on the only GOP legislator who has spoken out in favor of the idea. Tea party leaders in the state’s northwest corner are recruiting a primary opponent to challenge Republican state Rep. Barbara Sears next year. Normally a reliable conservative representing suburban Toledo, Sears has been out front in her support of GOP Gov. John Kasich’s proposal to expand Medicaid — a key part

of Democratic President Barack Obama’s health care law. So far, Kasich’s proposal has gone nowhere after GOP leaders pulled it from the state budget. State lawmakers have been trying to come up with a compromise but likely won’t move ahead on Medicaid until the end of the year at the earliest. Many Republicans are philosophically against the idea of expanding government programs and opposed to the federal health care law that calls for mandated health coverage. But the warnings issued a year ago that supporters of Medicaid expansion would face opposition come election time certainly seems to have had an impact, too.

“It would be nice if they were making this decision from the heart, but if it takes a threat to do it, that’s OK, too,” said John McAvoy, a founder of the Toledo tea party. That group, along with the Northwest Ohio Conservative Coalition, has been talking with potential candidates to run against Sears, polling voters and knocking on doors in her district. One name that has emerged as a possible challenger is Rich Iott, a businessman who lost a bid for Congress three years ago against Democratic incumbent Marcy Kaptur in northwest Ohio. Until now, McAvoy said, they have agreed with Sears, the third-ranking Republican in the Ohio House, on “probably

99.99 percent of the issues.” But her stance on Medicaid is non-negotiable, he said. He warned that Kasich could also face a cold shoulder from conservatives in his re-election bid next year. “If you want the support of the conservative base, you have to take a conservative position,” said Linda Bowyer, chairwoman of the Northwest Ohio Conservative Coalition. Bowyer said it’s very likely someone will run against Sears if she continues to back Medicaid expansion. Sears initially was skeptical about expanding Medicaid when the governor said in February that he supported the idea. She now says making health care more widely avail-

able to the working poor is the right thing to do. “They’re only seeking care at the worst possible time and that’s when they are in absolute crisis,” she said. Sears put forward a bill last spring that would have expanded Medicaid and required new enrollees to share in the costs. “How do you stare at a problem and not seek a solution?” she asked. The pressure from conservative groups to oppose expansion has stopped some of the supporters from stepping out and announcing their support, she said. About five other lawmakers told her they are standing on the sidelines until they see House lawmakers come up with a new Medicaid proposal

ODOT, FAA partner Campus community in with local airports to fight on park weapons ban help Ohio fly higher COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are working to make limited dollars for general aviation in Ohio go further. In doing so they are seeking out the opinions of Ohioan’s statewide. ODOT is hosting seven public meetings between Sept. 10 and 19 to provide Ohio’s 97 publicly-owned general aviation airports and their local communities an opportunity to share their ideas. In 2012, the FAA invested approximately $26 million in Ohio’s general aviation airports, and ODOT issued approximately $725,000 in grant funding, however, these combined funds addressed only a fraction of the requested needs. The ODOT-led Ohio Airports Focus Study, which kicked-off last September, is identifying what types of airport services are provided throughout Ohio today, and what gaps need to be filled in the future. This system wide look will ensure Ohioans have convenient access to a variety of aviation services – and provide ODOT and FAA another tool in deciding how to spend limited grant funds. “Budgets are tight these days and we are all making decisions about how to get the most out of every dollar we spend,” said ODOT Aviation Administrator

James Bryant. “Airports are no different, and we are eager to hear ideas from airport operators and local officials on how best to improve the future of aviation in Ohio.” The public meetings will take place: • Tuesday: 2 to 4 p.m. at the Pike County Government Center, Rooms 104 and 105, 230 Waverly Plaza, Waverly. • Thursday: 2 to 4 p.m. at the Brecksville Community Center, Rooms A, B and C, 1 Community Drive, Brecksville. • Friday: 10 a.m. to noon at Zane State College, Rooms 529 and 530, Willett-Pratt Training Center, 9900 Brick Church Road, Cambridge. • Sept. 16: 2 to 4 p.m. at the Delaware Community Center YMCA, Community Room, 1121 S. Houk Road, Delaware. • Sept. 17, 2 to 4 p.m. at Avetec, Main Conference Room, 4170 Allium Court, Springfield. • Sept. 18: 2 to 4 p.m. at the Findlay Inn and Conference Center, Fort Findlay Room, 200 E. Main Cross, Findlay. • Sept. 19: 2 to 4 p.m. at the Warren County Career Center, Commons Area, 3525 N. State Route 48, Lebanon. Beginning Tuesday, all public meeting materials and an online survey will be available at www. AirportsFocusStudy.ohio. gov.

OBERLIN (AP) — A campus community with a liberal reputation is getting ready for a battle over a city park weapons ban that conflicts with a state law. The city council in Oberlin southwest of Cleveland is reluctantly considering a change to its law that bans firearms in city parks. A state law permits guns in most public places, including parks. If City Council does not rescind the measure, gun owners can take the city to court. Cleveland lost a similar fight over a guns-rights issue in 2010. About 36 guns-rights advocates picnicked in an Oberlin park on Saturday to underscore the issue. Oberlin City Council President Ron Rimbert tells The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer that he

“We don’t want law-abiding citizens getting arrested in Oberlin for an unenforceable law. That’s the crux of the matter.” Sharon Fairchild-Soucy, a member of council, said her colleagues are opposed to the state dictating what the city can and cannot do, especially when it comes to guns. “Oberlin does not want people bringing guns into its parks,” she said. In 2007, Cleveland sued Ohio, claiming that the state law involving guns was unconstitutional because it infringed on Cleveland’s home-rule authority and its ability to adopt and enforce its local laws. Three years later, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled against the city.

opposes weapons in city parks but thinks the city has no choice. “We have a responsibility to our citizens that we don’t get caught up in any litigation. In Oberlin, we’re protective of our family and friends. But this is a state law,” he said. In August, an Ashland County man notified city police that the state law supersedes the city’s and said he would show up with a weapon in a city park. Brian Kuzawa said Chief Tom Miller called and informed him that it is legal to carry weapons in the city’s parks. Oberlin Council is expected to decide the issue Sept. 16: it can rescind the local law or prepare for a legal fight. Doug Deeken, an executive with Ohioans for Concealed Carry, said the issue is simple:

Hospital fights suit over botched transplant TOLEDO (AP) — The University of Toledo Medical Center is fighting a wrongful dismissal lawsuit by a nurse fired after a botched kidney transplant. The nurse, Melanie LeMay of Toledo, was fired after a viable kidney was thrown out before the transplant operation. She alleges her termination was based on violating policies and procedures that didn’t exist on the day of the operation. The medical center said the Ohio Court of Claims in Columbus lacks jurisdiction in the case. The medical center, in a motion filed Thursday, claimed the court has no jurisdiction to enforce or interpret a collective bargaining agreement.

A different nurse accidentally threw away the kidney as medical waste during the procedure last year. Sarah Fudacz, 25, was to receive her brother’s kidney but awoke without having undergone surgery because a nurse had accidentally thrown it out. Hospital staff had recovered the kidney from the trash, and Fudacz said she saw it sitting in an incubator-like box, contaminated with biowaste and no longer usable. The hospital later helped the woman find a new kidney and pay for travel expenses to Colorado for the surgery, which was successful. The Toledo family is suing the facility over the mistake, saying that it

deeply affected their lives and continues to cause them pain. And they say the kidney Fudacz received in Colorado isn’t a perfect match, meaning it will not last as long as her brother’s would have. In the months between her botched transplant surgery and the successful one, Fudacz said she had to have additional dialysis, four surgeries related to dialysis, and the stress and uncertainty over whether she would ever find a suitable kidney. The hospital since has undergone internal and external reviews, clarified some procedures and temporarily suspended its live kidney donation program, which has since resumed.

Ohio to limit food stamps for over 130,000 adults COLUMBUS (AP) — The administration of Ohio Gov. John Kasich plans to limit food stamps for more than 130,000 adults in all but a few economically depressed areas starting next year. According to The (Columbus) Dispatch, the requirement will cover able-bodied adults without children. They will be required to spend at least 20 hours a week working, training for a job, volunteering or performing a similar type of activity unless they live in one of 16 high-unemployment counties. The requirements begin next month but those failing to meet them would not lose benefits until Jan. 1. More than 1.8 million

Ohioans receive food stamps. The exempt counties are Adams, Brown, Clinton, Coshocton, Highland, Huron, Jefferson, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Muskingun, Noble, Ottawa, Perry, Pike and Scioto. “It’s important that we provide more than just a monetary benefit, that we provide job training, an additional level of support that helps put (food-stamp recipients) on a path toward a career and out of poverty,” Ben Johnson, spokesman for the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, told the newspaper. For years, Ohio has taken advantage of a federal waiver exempting food-stamps recipients from the work requirements that Kasich championed while U.S.

House Budget Committee chairman during the mid1990s. “The governor believes in a work requirement,” Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said Friday. “But when the economy is bad and people are hurting, the waiver can be helpful. Now, fortunately, Ohio’s economy is improving.” An estimated 134,000 adults will be subject to the work requirements. They are ages 18 to 50, without children under 18, and deemed to be physically and mentally able to participate, Johnson said. County officials who administer public assistance and advocates for the poor predict the requirement will take food stamps away from thousands of Ohioans.

Nation/World Today in History The Associated Press

Today is Monday, Sept. 9, the 252nd day of 2013. There are 113 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On September 9, 1513, English forces defeated Scottish invaders in the Battle of Flodden Field; more than 15,000 men were believed killed, including the King of Scots, James IV. On this date: In 1543, Mary Stuart was crowned Queen of Scots at Stirling Castle, nine months after she was born. In 1776, the second Continental Congress made the term “United States” official, replacing “United Colonies.” In 1850, California became the 31st state of the union. In 1919, some 1,100 members of Boston’s 1,500-man police force went on strike. (The strike was broken by Massachusetts Gov. Calvin Coolidge with replacement officers.) In 1926, the National Broadcasting Co. (NBC) was incorporated by the Radio Corp. of America. In 1932, the steamboat Observation exploded in New York’s East River, killing 72 people. In 1943, Allied forces landed at Salerno and Taranto during World War II. In 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the first civil rights bill to pass Congress since Reconstruction. In 1971, prisoners seized control of the maximumsecurity Attica Correctional Facility near Buffalo, N.Y., beginning a siege that ended up claiming 43 lives. In 1976, Communist Chinese leader Mao Zedong died in Beijing at age 82. In 1986, Frank Reed, director of a private school in Lebanon, was taken hostage; he was released 44 months later. In 1997, Sinn Fein (shin fayn), the IRA’s political ally, formally renounced violence as it took its place in talks on Northern Ireland’s future. Actor Burgess Meredith died in Malibu, Calif., at age 89. Ten years ago: The Boston Roman Catholic Archdiocese agreed to pay $85 million to 552 people to settle clergy sex abuse cases. France’s leading undertaker estimated the country’s death toll from a summer heat wave at 15,000. Twin Palestinian suicide bombings killed 16 Israelis. Nuclear scientist Edward Teller died at age 95. Five years ago: President George W. Bush announced he would keep U.S. force strength in Iraq largely intact until the next administration, drawing rebukes from Democrats who wanted the war ended and a bigger boost of troops in troubled Afghanistan. Asif Ali Zardari, the widower of assassinated former Pakistani leader Benazir Bhutto, took office as Pakistan’s president.

Zoo welcomes cheetah cubs and puppy DALLAS (AP) — Two male cheetah cubs have joined the Dallas Zoo population. Zoo officials have marked the occasion by providing them with a puppy. The 8-week-old feline brothers, Winspear and Kamau, were born July 8 at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Va. The zoo is providing them with an 8-week-old black Labrador retriever puppy named Amani. According to a zoo statement, Amani means “peace” in Swahili. Since Labs are easygoing in public settings and since the pup will grow with the cubs, zoo experts believe he’ll provide a calming influence for the cats. Winspear and Kamau will join the zoo’s Animal Adventures outreach program to help teach the public about their highly endangered species.

Band of Republicans pushes immigration in U.S. House Michael J. Mishak Associated Press

GROVELAND, Fla. (AP) — In the five weeks since he declared his support for a comprehensive immigration overhaul, U.S. Rep. Daniel Webster has gotten an earful. One constituent told the second-term Republican that immigrants carry disease. Another said immigrants would steal jobs away from Americans. “You cannot stop illegal immigration by rewarding it,” another man said at a recent town hallstyle meeting in Groveland, a rural community west of Orlando. “Amnesty is a reward.” As Congress returns to work this week after its summer

break, Webster faces perhaps an even tougher crowd: fellow Republicans. Webster is among about two dozen GOP lawmakers who support an eventual path to citizenship for millions of people who are living in the U.S. illegally. These Republicans are facing the daunting challenge of trying to persuade colleagues to follow them. Most Republicans oppose this approach on citizenship, and there is little political incentive for them to change their minds. Only 24 of 233 Republicans represent districts where more than onequarter of their constituents are Hispanic. Even so, some in the Republican Party argue that its future hinges on whether the House finds a

way to embrace an immigration overhaul, which is a crucial issue for the country’s fast-growing bloc of Hispanic voters. Supporters of a path to citizenship point to demographic changes and business backing that have helped sway Webster, who for years opposed immigrant-rights legislation, as potential motives for wavering lawmakers to sign on. “I think as a country we need to do something,” Webster said in an interview, echoing the rhetoric of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and other prominent Republicans. “Doing nothing is amnesty.” The small but growing band of Republicans is trying to strike a balance between conservative activists who want border secu-

rity and immigration advocates who want a path to citizenship. Many come from swing districts with sizable Hispanic populations that could make a difference in next year’s elections, tipping the balance of power in the GOP-controlled House. The lawmakers also feel the pressure from business interests that rely on immigrant labor. At the same time, conservative taxpayer groups who typically fund GOP primary challenges have remained largely silent on immigration. Anti-immigration activists have failed to organize large-scale demonstrations or generate the kind of public backlash that killed Congress’ last attempt to remake immigration policy, in 2007.

U.S. troops, part of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), investigate the site of suicide attack in Wardak Province, east of Kabul, Afghanistan, Sunday. Taliban militants detonated a car bomb outside an Afghan intelligence office near the capital Sunday and then tried to attack it on foot with guns, officials and the insurgent group said. At least four soldiers guarding the compound were killed and six insurgents died in the assault, officials said.

NATO accused of killing Afghanistan civilians Amir Shah and Nahal Toosi Associated Press

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghan officials accused NATO of killing civilians in an airstrike that left at least 10 dead in the country’s remote east, while the Taliban on Sunday staged a car bomb and gun attack outside an Afghan intelligence office, killing four soldiers and wounding more than 80 people. Meanwhile, the Afghan government reacted angrily to a comment by an American envoy who said Afghanistan is already experiencing “a civil war.” The airstrike and Taliban attack underscored the chronic insecurity in Afghanistan as U.S.-led foreign forces reduce their presence and hand over more responsibilities to Afghan troops. The car bombing occurred in Maidan Shahr, a city in eastern Wardak

province just 40 kilometers (25 miles) from Kabul. Attaullah Khogyani, a spokesman for the provincial governor, said the explosion occurred around 1 p.m. and that many of the wounded were Afghan government employees working in nearby offices. Soldiers guarding the compound managed to kill the militants after the explosion, he said. He said four soldiers and five attackers died, in addition to the car bomber. Hazrat Janan, a member of the Wardak provincial council, said the explosion wounded more than 80 people and was powerful enough to shatter windows across a wide stretch of the city. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid claimed responsibility for the attack. Meanwhile, conflicting reports emerged about the airstrike in the Watapur district of Kunar, a province

that lies along the border with Pakistan. The territory is dangerous and difficult to reach. Many Arab and other foreign insurgents are believed to operate there alongside the Afghan Taliban. Some are suspected to have links to al-Qaida. Kunar province police chief Abdul Habib Sayed Khaili said the airstrike hit a pickup truck carrying women and children in Qoro village soon after three Arab and three Afghan militants boarded it Saturday evening. He said some residents called it a drone strike, which would not be unusual in that area. The police official put the total dead at 15, saying four were women, four were children and one was the civilian driver. But Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s office later put the death toll at 16, saying only that women and children were among the victims.

STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) — It’s a divorce and child visitation case that already has produced nearly 600 motions and rulings and evidence of insider trading that brought down a multibillion-dollar hedge fund. And as it passes the 10-year mark, the case of former Connecticut investment adviser David Zilkha and his ex-wife, Karen Kaiser, shows no signs of nearing a final resolution. They remain embroiled in disputes over child visitation and fees for hired experts, with more court hearings set for the next two months. The acrimony has included mudslinging by both sides and prompted a show of frustration from the judge. “There are some cases that for whatever reason … sort of spin out of control,” Judge Michal Shay said during a hearing in Stamford Superior Court last year. “It seems impossible, it seems intractable, sometimes to pull them back and try to get them on the right track, and that’s what I’m trying to do here.” David Zilkha, who hasn’t seen his 12-year-old twin son and daughter for four years, alleges in court documents that Kaiser is refusing to schedule “unification therapy” for him and the children that both sides agreed on in January. He also has accused Kaiser of lying repeatedly to authorities about him and alienating the children from him. Kaiser claims Zilkha also has lied to authorities, subjected her to libelous smear campaigns to damage her reputation and once punched her in the face, according to documents in the divorce case and a defamation lawsuit she has filed against Zilkha. A court-ordered mental evaluation also alleged Zilkha has such a severe narcissistic personality disorder that he shouldn’t be allowed to see the children, a claim Zilkha strongly disputes and says has been debunked by prominent therapists who evaluated him. Court documents filed by Kaiser say Zilkha has had the ability to see the children under supervised visitation but has refused to do so. Zilkha is protesting the conditions of supervised visitation and says the sessions are prohibitively expensive, costing him more than $5,000 per visit. He called the supervised visit system a “racket” for lawyers and others involved in the process.

Attack From page 1 prepare for a chemical weapons attack by readying gas masks. The U.S. administration says its evidence is classified and is only sharing details in closeddoor briefings with members of Congress and key allies. Yet the assessment, also based on accounts by Syrian activists and hundreds of YouTube videos of the attack’s aftermath, has confounded many experts who cannot fathom what might have motivated Assad to unleash weapons of

mass destruction on his own people — especially while U.N. experts were nearby and at a time when his troops had the upper hand on the ground. Rebels who accuse Assad of the attack have suggested he had learned of fighters’ plans to advance on Damascus, his seat of power, and ordered the gassing to prevent that. “We can’t get our heads around this — why would any commander agree to rocketing a suburb of Damascus with chemical weapons for only a

very short-term tactical gain for what is a long-term disaster,” said Charles Heyman, a former British military officer who edits The Armed Forces of the U.K., an authoritative biannual review of British forces. Inconsistencies over the death toll and other details related to the attack also have fueled doubts among skeptics. The Obama administration says 1,429 people died in 12 locations mostly east of the capital, an estimate close to the one put out by the Western-

backed Syrian National Coalition. When asked for victims’ names, however, the group provided a list of 395. On that list, some of the victims were identified by a first name only or said to be members of a certain family. There was no explanation for the hundreds of missing names. In Ghouta, Majed Abu Ali, a spokesman for 17 clinics and field hospitals near Damascus, produced the same list, saying the hospitals were unable to identify all the dead.

Tests From page 1 out of tests, and a group of students in Providence, R.I., dressed like zombies and marched in front of the State House to protest a requirement that students must achieve a minimum score on a state test in order to graduate. “I’m opposed to these tests because they narrow what education is supposed to be about and they lower kids’ horizons,” said Jesse Hagopian, a teacher at the Seattle school. “I think collaboration, imagination, critical thinking skills are all left off these tests and can’t be assessed by circling in A, B, C or D.” For many parents and students, there have been few to no consequences to opting out of testing. Most parents are choos-

ing to take their younger children out of testing, not older students for whom it is a graduation requirement. It’s unclear if things will change when the Common Core Curriculum and the standardized tests that will accompany it are implemented in the 2014-15 school year. Some states were granted waivers for No Child Left Behind, which requires districts to have at least 95 percent of students participate in standardized testing or be at risk of losing funding. Kristen Jaudon, a spokeswoman for the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, said the test Seattle deemed optional is not required by the state. Ninety-five percent of students in a

given school must take standardized tests that are required by state law. She said parents who pull their children out of testing wouldn’t be able to identify if a student was having problems in a particular subject and the move would deny educators the chance to see if the curriculum is working. “We are bound by state law to test kids in our state. It’s not optional,” she said. Tustin Amole, a spokeswoman for the Cherry Creek School District in Centennial, Colo., said 95 percent of students in the district take standardized tests. If a child stays home on testing day, she said, it’s difficult to know if the parent is opting the child out or if the child is home for personal reasons, such as being sick.

Rinse with water and, using another clean, soft cloth, dry the pearls. Pearls can naturally change color over time. Once this happens, you cannot correct it, unfortunately. To keep pearls looking good longer, experts suggest wiping them down after each wearing to remove any sweat, makeup and dirt. It also is a good idea to store them flat so they do not stretch out. If your strand of pearls is older or you want to have them restrung to be safe, ask to have the strand be knotted in between each pearl.

Edison in Ohio scholarship program PIQUA — Edison Community College has recently been announced as a recipient of the Choose Ohio First Scholarship Program. The college will offer 40, $1,500 scholarships per year during the 2013-2015 academic school years to current and potential students majoring in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). Students majoring in the following areas are eligible to receive the scholarship: physical, biological, and agricultural sciences; engineering; computer science; mathematics; two-year technology degrees; nursing and allied health fields; teacher preparation in STEM disciplines. The deadline to apply is Sept. 20. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational

employment projections in November 2009, “The U.S. will have more than 1.2 million job openings in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)-related occupations by 2018. These include scientists, doctors, software developers and engineers. Yet, there will be a significant shortage of qualified college graduates to fill these careers.” Jon Husted, Ohio secretary of state and Choose Ohio First Program initiator, believes the program will help make Ohio a national leader in educating students in the high-demand STEM fields. The scholarship program is awarded to select Ohio colleges, universities and their business partners that have developed innovative academic programs to recruit and retain Ohio students entering STEM

fields. By offering scholarships to students in these fields, the program supports increased higher education participation and success of Ohio

students, while helping to ensure the creation of a highly trained, technical workforce. For information, call 937-778-8600.

Breeders to take part in Alpaca Farm Days Two Shelby County farms will join alpaca breeders from across the United States and Canada Sept. 28 and 29 when they invite the public to visit and meet their alpacas,. In the process they will learn more about these inquisitive, unique animals, the luxury fiber they produce, and why the alpaca business is perfect for environmentally conscious individuals. Amsterdam Alpacas of the Anna area will welcome guests to join them for many free activities, including petting, feeding and leading alpacas, door prizes, and a “name the cria” contest. Tim and MarNell Schmiesing will host visitors to their farm Sept. 28 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sept. 29 from noon to 5 p.m. Amsterdam Alpacas is located at 7080 Amsterdam Road, Anna, west of State Route 29, on the south side. Count Your Blessings Alpacas, near Sidney, will also welcome guests for free activities, including fiber demonstrations, spinning and other fun activities. Rick and Annette Paulus will host visitors to their farm Sept. 28 and 29 from noon to 4 p.m. each day. Count Your Blessings Alpacas is located at 680 Doorley Road. Both farms will offer food and refreshments. Alpacas, cousins to the llama, are beautiful, intelligent animals native to the Andean Mountain range of South America, particularly Peru, Bolivia and Chile. The United States first commercially imported alpacas in 1984. There are now more than 160,000 ARI (Alpaca Registry, Inc.) registered alpacas in North America. There are two types of alpacas in the United States today. Although almost physically identi-

cal, what distinguishes the two types of alpacas is their fiber. The huacaya is the more common of the two and has a fluffy, extremely fine coat. The suri is the rarer of the two and has fiber that is silky and resembles pencil locks. Adult alpacas stand at approximately 36 inches tall at the withers and generally weigh between 150 and 200 pounds. They do not have horns, hooves, claws or incisors. Alpacas are alert, intelligent, curious and predictable. Social animals that seek companionship, they communicate most commonly by softly humming. Alpacas are shorn, without harm, every 12 to 18 months. They produce 5 to 10 pounds of luxurious fiber. Long ago, alpaca fiber was reserved for royalty. Today it is purchased in its raw fleece form by handspinners and fiber artists. Knitters buy it as yarn. Because of its soft texture, alpaca fiber is sometimes compared to cashmere. Making the fiber ever more coveted, it has the luster of silk. Alpaca is just as warm as, yet one-third the weight of wool. It comes in 22 natural colors, yet can be dyed any desired shade. Containing no lanolin, alpaca fiber is also naturally hypoallergenic. Most people who are sensitive to wool find that they can wear alpaca without the itching or irritation they feel from wool because alpaca fiber is smooth. Additional performance characteristics include: stretch, water repellency, and odor reduction. For travelers, clothing made from alpaca is desirable because it is wrinkleresistant. Alpacas come in 22 natural colors, but they are all “green.”

Sensitive to their environment in every respect, alpacas have soft padded feet instead of hooves and can leave even the most delicate terrain undamaged. Damage to topsoil decreases longterm soil fertility and in the process, the soil is eroded and weed invasion is encouraged. Alpacas prefer to eat tender grasses, which they do not pull up by the roots. Lacking upper teeth, alpacas “cut” the grass with their bottom teeth and upper palate. This vegetation cutting encourages the plants’ growth. Because they are modified ruminants with a three-compartment stomach, alpacas convert grass and hay to energy very efficiently, and stop eating when they are full, further preserving the landscape on which they live. However, alpacas do not mind eating brush, fallen leaves and other “undesirable” vegetation, leaving the “good stuff” for species that do not have the stomach to digest such roughage. Alpacas’ pellet-like droppings are PH balanced, and an excellent, natural, slow release, low odor fertilizer. This rich fertilizer is perfect for growing fruits and vegetables. Because alpacas consolidate their feces in one or two communal spots in the pasture, it is easy to collect and compost, and the spread of parasites is controlled. While alpacas are environmentally friendly, and even beneficial, to the land, what makes them even more “green” is the fiber they produce. No chemicals are employed either during feeding or during the industrial production of alpaca fleece into fiber. If dying is desired, only 20 percent of a normal dye quantity

is required. All fiber from an alpaca can be used. Even the fiber from the lower legs, belly, neck, etc. is being used for things such as natural weed mats to be placed around trees. Alpaca fiber is biodegradable. Alpacas require no insecticides, herbicides and fertilizers which pollute the groundwater. Headquartered in Nashville, Tenn., the Alpaca Owners and

Breeders Association (AOBA) serves to facilitate the expansion of a strong and sustainable alpaca industry through the growth and development of the national herd and its products. Since AOBA’s formation in 1988, its membership has grown steadily to more than 4,000 members with over 160,000 registered alpacas in North America.

It is only rarely the case that neuro- that this can cause cancer or endocrine tumors are truly ruin your lungs or bronchial

tubes. What is the truth? — A.M.H. ANSWER: Petrolatum, sold as Vaseline and other brands, generally is considered a safe product. There are two potential health concerns. The first is that petrolatum can be contaminated with toxic substances. This seems to me to be unlikely, but you can be sure of its purity by looking for “white petrolatum USP” as the ingredient, meaning it has been tested free of dangerous impurities. The second concern with using an oil-based product in the nose is that it may be accidently inhaled. Inhaled oil causes lipoid pneumonia. This has happened with mineral oil, but I have a hard time imagining it happening with petrolatum. In summary, petrolatum is an inexpensive and effective treatment for dry skin, keeping the body’s own moisture inside. DEAR DR. ROACH: I live in the state of Maine. My parents warned me about needing iodine in our diet due

to not having much iodine in our soil. They told me to buy iodized salt to prevent thyroid problems. I think you can get iodine from seafood, too, but I don’t know which kinds. If people throw out the saltshaker, what should they do to ensure they are getting enough iodine? — L.C. ANSWER: We almost never see iodine deficiency where I have practiced; however, you are quite right that many areas, especially the Northern United States and most of Canada, have low iodine levels in the soil. If you don’t use table salt (and good for you if you don’t), then you can get iodine from most dairy products, from saltwater fish and shellfish, from seaweed (think of nori, the wrapping of sushi) or from supplements.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

DEAR ABBY: How do I keep a co-worker from borrowing money from me? I have my paycheck directdeposited, which means the money is available earlier than “Anita’s.” She asked me yesterday if I would lend her money for cigarettes, and I told her I didn’t have any cash on me.

When I went on break to buy lunch with my ATM card, Anita came waltzing over and immediately told the cashier to ring up the cigarettes on my ATM card! She said she’d pay me back more than the amount charged to my card. In the future, how can I handle this if it happens again? I needed the money for my own use, and now I must wait until next week for her to pay me back. — BUCK STOPS HERE IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR BUCK: One way to handle it would be to be proactive and tell Anita that what she did was rude and you didn’t like it. Another would be to inform the cashier that what Anita did was NOT OK with you, and to never do it again. Whichever you decide, don’t be afraid of hurting Anita’s feelings because she has a hide of steel. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

100 years Sept. 9, 1913 The Shelby county fair moved into its second day auspiciously with nearly perfect weather conditions prevailing and a large crowd in attendance. The exhibits are all in place and make a grand display. The Sidney band under the direction of Wilbur Piper is furnishing the music today. Excellent displays have been arranged by the schools in Sidney and the county. The Children’s Home has an extensive display of work done by the girls of the home and the manual training work of the boys. The articles on display are for sale, with the proceeds to go into the home fund and used for the purchase of lumber for the boys to work on. ––––– Three horses were struck and killed by a limited car on the Western Ohio at Avondale stop, southwest of Sidney, about 8 o’clock last night. The horses belonged to a band of gypsies that were in camp near Stafford. The three horses with a lot of others were grazing along the road when the accident happened. 75 years Sept. 9, 1938 The special city building committee named by Mayor Sexauer to select the site for the new city building, at its meeting last evening unanimously approved the location now occupied by the Breslin garage and William Jaffee property at the intersection of Poplar street and West avenue. The action was taken by the committee after nearly a month spent in investigating 11 sites that offered possibilities for the construction of the building. The committee in making its selection considered very seriously the various problems that had to be met in selection of a location, especially in reference to the fire department, which will be housed in the new structure. They also envisioned the possibility for future development of a civic center along the canal bed which is leased by the city. ––––– Plans for Sidney’s participation in the current Northwest Territory celebration are rapidly rounding into shape and will be climaxed with a demonstration on Sept. 24, with the arrival of the Northwest caravan in Sidney during the morning hours. Selection of the north and west sides of the square to be used for the caravan display was made this morning by the committee upon the tossing of a coin to make the selection impartial. 50 years Sept. 9, 1963 Demolishing of the building at the south-

east corner of State Routes 274 and 65 at the main intersection in Jackson Center will be finished at the end of this week, says Eldon Rose, owner, who is in charge of the demolition. It is being torn down to make room for a new one-story cement block building that will house the Rose Drug Store. Mr. and Mrs. Rose purchased the business from Mrs. J.R. Morris, who operated it for 11 years after the death of her husband. ––––– Sidney’s second Peace Corps volunteer has left for duty overseas, this one in the Dominican Republic on the Island of Haiti. She is Patricia Gallagher, 22, registered nurse who trained at Good Samaritan Hospital, Cincinnati, and since August of 1962 was employed at Drake Hospital in Cincinnati. Dale Harger, former Holy Angels High School teacher, is in Ethiopia where he has completed a year of teaching children of that African country and has another year to complete his tour of duty. 25 years Sept. 9, 1988 ANNA – Darrel E. Reese, a freshman at Anna High School, will be among 226 students from across Ohio to be recognized Sunday at the 1988 Ohio Talent Search Awards luncheon in Columbus. Reese, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lanny Reese, 15747 Highland Kies Road, Anna, is being honored for achieving high scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Reese and the other students being recognized took the SAT during the last school year, when they were in middle school and junior high. The SAT is more commonly taken by older students preparing to enter college. ––––– The Stolle Corp. of Sidney and Sawafuji Electric Limited, Tokyo, Japan have announced today the formation of a joint venture called ARCTEK Corporation. ARCTEK will initially produce gas absorption refrigeration systems used by Stolle’s Norcold Division. Norcold refrigerators are used widely in recreational vehicle markets and other specialized areas, officials said. ––––– These news items from past issues of the Sidney Daily News are compiled by the Shelby County Historical Society (498-1653) as a public service to the community.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) For the next month, relations with others will be smoother and friendlier. Intimate relations will be affectionate and sexy. Gifts and goodies might come to you! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Fair Venus is moving opposite your sign today to stay for the next month, smoothing all your relations with partners and close friends. Artistic people will come into your life. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Relations with co-workers will improve in the next month. Ask for support from others. You also might want to make your workplace look more attractive. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Slip away on a vacation if you can, because you want to party during the next six weeks. Pleasure, fun and games, the arts, sports events and playful times with children will be tops on your menu. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) During the next month, you will redecorate your digs and make where you live look more attractive. In fact, the next six weeks are perfect for entertaining! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Writers, teachers, actors and salespeople will be smooth and diplomatic during the next six weeks, because Venus will sweeten your speech. It's a good time to make money from writing! LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) The next month is excellent for business and commerce. However, you might spend too much money on beautiful things -- clothes, jewelry and art. It's so tempting. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Fair Venus moves into your sign today, where it will stay for the next month. This window of time is perfect to shop for wardrobe goodies, because you like what you see in the mirror. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Secret love affairs will be taking place for some of you in the next six weeks. Others will escape the limelight by hiding and seeking solitude. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A friend might become a lover in the month ahead. Certainly, all your relations with others will be particularly warm and cozy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) People in authority might approach you in the next month for advice about creative projects. They'll ask about design, layout, furniture arrangement, gardening -- whatever. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Travel for pleasure will delight you in the coming month. In fact, some of you might strike up a long-distance romantic relationship. YOU BORN TODAY You excel at what you do, but you don't want to call attention to yourself, because you like to fit in. You're passionate about what you do and always give it your best. (In this respect, you sometimes find it difficult to strike a happy balance between work and family or play.) Look for ways to learn something new this year. You'll be glad you did. Birthdate of: Jean Vanier, philosopher/humanitarian; Mary Oliver, poet; Roger Maris, baseball slugger.

OSU for the win, Guiton for the save

Jim Naveua Civitas Media

COLUMBUS – He is Aroldis Chapman in shoulder pads and a facemask. Ohio State back-up quarterback Kenny Guiton is a one of a kind relief pitcher and the Buckeyes’ team leader in saves. For the second time in the last two seasons, Guiton rescued Ohio State after Braxton Miller went down with an injury when OSU hung a 42-7 loss on San Diego State on Saturday at Ohio Stadium. Miller left on the game’s seventh play with what was reported as a sprained knee ligament after being hit on a running play. Ohio State scored on Guiton’s first play at the controls, on a 7-yard pitchout to freshman Dontre Wilson, and rolled from there. It was a repeat of Guiton’s performance in an overtime win over Purdue last season that started the legend of Kenny Guiton. On that October day, Guiton entered the game when Miller was slammed to the ground and taken to the hospital to be checked for a concussion. After an indifferent start, including a safety and an interception, he led Ohio State on a game-tying 61-yard drive in the game’s final 47 seconds with no timeouts and no previous experience in pressure situations. OSU then won 29-22 in overtime. When Miller got hurt Saturday, the crowd became very quiet. And they weren’t alone. “The stadium was not only very quiet, but our sideline was very quiet,” Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said. “But it’s amazing how much confidence they (Ohio State’s players) have in him. Guiton completed 19 of 28 passes for 152 yards and two touchdowns – both to wide receiver Corey Brown. He also ran the ball nine times for 83 yards, including a 44-yard

touchdown run. The Buckeyes scored on five of his first six series in the game and followed him to a 35-0 halftime lead, making it obvious the only thing San Diego State would go home with was the $1.2 million check it got for playing the game. Brown said OSU’s players have a high level of confidence in Guiton. “To be a backup quarterback and be voted a captain that shows how much everybody respects him. The offense doesn’t really skip a beat when Kenny goes in there,” he said. “They’re very similar quarterbacks except for the running side. There’s not a play in the offense Kenny Guiton can’t run.” Defensive lineman Michael Bennetet expressed his confidence in Guiton a little more colorfully. “You know what Kenny can do. I don’t think anyone is thinking, ‘Oh, crap. Kenny is going in,” he said. Guiton said last year’s Purdue game put down the foundation for what he did against San Diego State. “Oh man, that changed a lot. That changed a lot in my life,” Guiton said. “People started recognizing me, just knowing who I was on campus. People were thanking me for the game. I always thought that was crazy. “Just getting extended time in a game like that helped my confidence a lot. It’s one thing to practice a lot and become good but it’s different when you’re actually in there doing it,” he said. San Diego State coach Rocky Long also joined in the Guitonathon, calling him “as good a back-up quarterback as there is in the country.” “I don’t know how they decide which one starts to be honest with you. I think both of them (Miller and Guiton) are very good players. When one goes down, I don’t think they lose anything,” he said. With the return of starting defensive backs Bradley Roby (suspension) and C.J. Barnett

(ankle sprain), Ohio State’s defense appeared more aggressive than it had in a 40-20 win over Buffalo in the season opener. OSU held San Diego State to -3 yards of total offense in the first quarter and just 99 yards in the first half. The Buckeyes had three sacks, including a strip sack and fumble recovery by Bennett, and interceptions by Doran Grant and Armani Reeves. The next big question for Ohio State is if Miller will be able to play this Saturday against California or if Guiton will have to become a starter. “I think there’s a chance he will be ready next week,” Meyer said. He said Miller possibly could have played again against San Diego State after having his knee examined. “But we all decided it was best not to,” Meyer said.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Jermaine Gresham (84) runs against Chicago Bears defenders during the first half of an NFL football game Sunday in Chicago.

Mistakes hurt Bengals in loss CHICAGO (AP) — The Cincinnati Bengals lost their lead, their cool and the game. They’ll have to do better if they want to live up to the lofty preseason expectations. Andy Dalton threw two interceptions and Rey Maualuga got called for a penalty near the end to wipe out any chance at a comeback, sending the Bengals to a 24-21 season-opening loss to the Chicago Bears after blowing an 11-point lead on Sunday. “We had our chances,” Dalton said. “We had the lead. All we had to do is score one more time and our chances of winning the game would have increased a whole lot. But we had turnovers and it was hard to get it done.” Jay Cutler passed to

Brandon Marshall for the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter, helping the Bears give Marc Trestman a victory in his first game as an NFL head coach. Dalton threw for 282 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. A.J. Green had 162 yards receiving and two touchdowns, including a 45-yarder. But it was a disappointing opener for a team coming off back-to-back playoff appearances for the first time since 1981 and 1982. “They didn’t stop us one time,” Green said. “They didn’t really stop us on offense. We were doing whatever we wanted. The biggest thing we had was turnovers.” They were up 11 in the third quarter, only to have

Chicago rally down the stretch. The Bengals would have had one last chance to win or tie it, but Maualuga committed a personal foul away from the play when Cincinnati stopped Michael Bush after a short gain on third-and-6 at the Cincinnati 45 with a little over a minute left. The unnecessary roughness penalty kept the drive going and allowed Cutler to take a knee twice, ending the game. “We had a lot of guys unfortunately lose composure today,” Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. “We can’t do that.” For the Bears, it wasn’t quite the performance they See BENGALS | 16

Lady Cavs blank F-M Minster spikers fall to Celina to remain undefeated PITSBURG — The Lehman Lady Cavaliers were too much for FranklinMonroe in a battle of ranked teams Saturday in high school girls soccer. Lehman scored early and led 3-0 at the half, then scored three in the final six minutes of the game to blank the Lady Jets 6-0. Lehman came into the game ranked No. 3 in Division III in the latest Miami Valley Soccer Coaches poll, and F-M was ranked No. 8. The Lady Cavs remain unbeaten with the win at 5-0-1 heading into a huge game Saturday at home against Cincinnati Summit Country Day, the No. 2-ranked team in the latest state poll. There will be a junior varsity game and it will start at 1 p.m., followed at 3 by the varsity. Lehman got its first goal Saturday just five minutes into the contest when Ashley Keller took a pass from Madeline Franklin for a 1-0 lead. However, it stayed that way until 16 minutes remained in the first half. That’s when Taylor Lachey scored off Franklin’s second assist of the game for a 2-0 lead. Keller then scored an unassisted goal with five minutes left before the intermission for a comfortable 3-0 lead at the break. “We came out fast again,” said Lehman coach Tony Schroeder. “And I was happy

with how we finished, with three goals in the last six minutes. The first two goals of the second half came from Sara Fuller, and both on assists from Elizabeth Edwards. The final goal was set up by Moriah Pauley, who assisted on Madison Cline’s goal. It was Pauley’s first game back since recovering from an injury she sustained over the summer at a soccer camp. Lehman keeper Grace Frantz finished with three saves. Lehman boys blanked PITSBURG — The Lehman Cavalier boys soccer team lost 4-0 Franklin Monroe Saturday afternoon. The Jets controlled the game from the beginning, needing just 10 minutes to score their first goal. It was 2-0 at the half. “That was a tough game,” Lehman coach Tom Thornton said. “They controlled the ball and midfield and we did not have very good first touches on the ball all game. It was very physical but our kids have to play through it. “ The Jets had 17 fouls and two yellow cards for the game. They outshot the Cavaliers 24-10. Lehman keeper Nick Earhart had 14 saves. F-M goes to 4-1 while Lehman drops to 3-2. Lehman travels to Botkins on Thursday.

Bengals From page 15 were looking for after making some big changes in the offseason. But they made the most of a handful of big plays by Cutler and repeated mistakes by the Bengals. Cutler threw for 242 yards behind a line with four new starters. Marshall had eight catches for 104 yards, and the offense pulled it out after struggling most of the way. The Bengals led by 11 in the third quarter and were up 21-17 early in the fourth when Tim Jennings jarred the ball from Mohamed Sanu following a reception and made the recovery. Chicago took over at its 19 and got an 8-yard run from Matt Forte on fourth-andinches at the Bengals 27 to keep the drive going. Cutler then found Marshall in the front corner of the end zone for a 19-yard touchdown with 7:58 remaining.

The Bears made big changes in the offseason, parting with star linebacker Brian Urlacher and hiring Trestman to replace the fired Lovie Smith with the idea that he could spark the offense and lead them to the playoffs after missing out five of the past six years. The offense seemed stuck most of the afternoon but came through in the end, with Cutler completing 21 of 33 passes. He also had two touchdowns to go with an interception. Charles Tillman matched a career high with two interceptions, giving him 35 overall for Chicago. And Robbie Gould set a franchise record with a 58-yard field goal at the end of the first half following some questionable clock management by Cincinnati. “I think it tested us and our backbone because it didn’t go the way we wanted

it to go, certainly, in the first half,” said Trestman, who coached the CFL’s Montreal Alouettes the past five seasons. “But the guys hung in there together, at halftime pulled themselves together and the team went out and played every play and were able to come out on top.” Up 14-10 at the half, the Bengals started the third quarter with an 80-yard scoring drive. Tillman got called for interference on a deep pass to Green that put the ball on the 1, and BenJarvus Green-Ellis plowed in from the 5, making it 21-10. But the Bears responded with an 80-yard drive that ended with Forte running it in from the 1 to get them back within four. Vontaze Burfict intercepted Cutler near midfield early in the fourth quarter, taking a shot to the right knee from Chicago’s Kyle Adams.

Cincinnati took over at the Bears 40, but Sanu’s fumble at the 17 led to a big swing. And Marshall couldn’t believe he was one on one with Reggie Nelson on the goahead touchdown. “I didn’t understand it. You know?” Marshall said. “Fourth quarter, put a safety on me one on one? You can only ask for that and dream about that.” NOTES: Burfict said his knee was bruised. … Green hurt a finger at one point, but Lewis said he’s fine. … Bengals LT Andrew Whitworth, recovering from offseason surgery on his left knee, was inactive. … Gould held the previous Bears record with a 57-yard field goal against Denver on Dec. 11, 2011. … Trestman joined Hall of Famer George Halas (1920), Neill Armstrong (1978) and Dick Jauron (1999) as the only coaches to win their Bears debut.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Travis Benjamin runs the ball during an NFL football game against the Miami Dolphins Sunday in Cleveland.

Dolphins whip Browns 23-10 CLEVELAND (AP) — With more offensive firepower at his disposal, Miami’s Ryan Tannehill could make huge strides in his second NFL season. On Sunday, he took the first one. Tannehill passed for 272 yards and a touchdown, leading the Dolphins to a season-opening 23-10 win Sunday over the Cleveland Browns, who lost their ninth straight opener and fell to 1-14 in Week 1 since 1999. Tannehill, surrounded by better talent on offense after Miami’s offseason spending splurge, threw a 34-yard TD pass to Brian Hartline in the third quarter and drove the Dolphins to a game-clinching TD in the fourth. Daniel Thomas had a 1-yard scoring plunge with 6:48 left, putting the Dolphins up by 10 and they turned it over to their defense. Miami’s Cameron Wake had 2½ sacks and the Dolphins’ defensive line sacked Cleveland quarterback Brandon Weeden six times and hurried him countless more. Weeden threw three interceptions and the Browns never got anything going in coach Rob Chudzinski’s debut. By game’s end, FirstEnergy Stadium was nearly empty as Browns fans bailed in the final minutes. Rookie Caleb Sturgis kicked field goals of 49, 45 and 36 yards for the Dolphins. Hartline, an Ohio native who had friends and family members at the game, had nine catches for 114 yards. Brandon Gibson added seven catches for 77. Tannehill went 7-9 as a starter during an upand-down rookie season, showing the Dolphins enough promise that they wanted to invest more in his future. The club signed free agent wide receiver Mike Wallace, Gibson and resigned Hartline to a fiveyear, $30 million contract. With Miami leading 13-10, Tannehill took the Dolphins 85 yards to set up Thomas’ TD. On the drive, Tannehill completed 6 of 7 passes for 78 yards — none of them to Wallace, who had just one catch for 15 yards. Tannehill didn’t get any boost from Miami’s running game as the Dolphins were held 20 yards on 23 carries. For the Browns, this opener was like so many previous ones. Cleveland hasn’t won

a home opener since 2004, and despite some renewed energy with the addition of better players, the Browns haven’t changed. Weeden finished 26 of 53 for 289 yards and one TD, but he was plagued by several drops and his offensive line was manhandled by Miami’s front four. Weeden was missing top wide receiver Josh Gordon, who is suspended for the first two games for violating the league’s drug policy. The Browns also hurt themselves with nine penalties and couldn’t get running back Trent Richardson away from Miami’s tacklers. He had 47 yards on 13 carries, but none in the fourth. Tannehill hooked up with Hartline in the third quarter to give the Dolphins a 13-7 lead. Three plays after Browns safety T.J. Ward dropped a possible interception in the end zone, Tannehill waited for Hartline to run a double move and get past cornerback Buster Skrine before hitting his wide receiver in stride down the left sideline. Weeden and the Browns’ offense overcame a bizarre, ugly first half — five penalties, three interceptions — to somehow lead 7-6 at halftime. With 28 seconds left, Weeden hit a leaping Jordan Cameron in the back of the end zone for Cleveland’s lone TD, a score that gave Browns fans a chance to breath and brought a fist pump from Chudzinski. Before that, the Browns had hurt themselves with the costly infractions and picks, two of which bounced off the hands of Cleveland’s receivers. The Browns’ TD was like a trip to the dentist: painful and slow. The Dolphins helped with two defensive penalties, including one by former Browns cornerback Dimitri Patterson, who yanked on the facemask of Davone Bess following a short pass to give Cleveland a first down at the 15. On the TD pass, Cameron got behind linebacker Philip Wheeler and Weeden put nice touch on his throw to the back corner. Sturgis kicked field goals of 45 and 49 yards to give the Dolphins a 6-0 lead in the first half. Miami’s second field goal came after Weeden’s second interception by Patterson.
