Dem. lawmaker announces run for Ohio auditor Julie Carr Smyth Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — A Democratic state lawmaker from Columbus launched a bid Tuesday to unseat Ohio Auditor Dave Yost next year, rounding out the Democrats’ 2014 lineup as the party seeks to unseat Republicans who hold every statewide office. Third-term state Rep. John Patrick Carney made the announcement Tuesday at a packed firefighters’ union hall in downtown Columbus, signaling the importance of labor unions in next year’s contest. It will be the first statewide election since sweeping collective bargaining limits were passed by the Republican-

led Legislature, then rejected by Ohio voters. Carney, 37, has been an outspoken opponent of the agenda of Ohio Gov. John Kasich and his fellow Republicans, including the unions limits and tax code changes. “These sorts of trickledown, tax-cuts-for-thewealthy policies have never been particularly good for America,” he said. “It undermines our ability to support basic services that our communities rely on — whether it be fire protection or police protection, local schools, sanitation. Those are the things that have made America great because you have strong communities people want to live in.”

OHLEG advisory group holds first meeting

Matthew Cordle (center) and his attorneys, Martin Midian (left) and George Breitmayer III, listen Tuesday as Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Julie Lynch announces the rescheduling of his arraignment for today, saying normal court procedures weren’t being followed, in Columbus. Cordle was being arraigned on a charge of aggravated vehicular homicide and was expected to plead guilty. In a 3 LONDON — The Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway 1/2 minute video posted last week, Cordle admitted to causing a fatal car crash that killed a man on June 22. (OHLEG) Working Group met Tuesday for the first time

Delay for man who confessed to DUI in video Andrew Welsh-Huggins Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — An Ohio driver who made an online video confessing to causing a fatal wrong-way crash after drinking heavily must wait at least a day to enter his promised guilty plea. In a 3½-minute video posted last week, Matthew Cordle admitted he killed a man from a Columbus suburb and said he “made a mistake” when he decided to drive that night. “My name is Matthew Cordle, and on June 22nd, 2013, I hit and killed Vincent Canzani,” he says somberly. “This video will act as my confession.” Cordle, of Powell, another Columbus suburb, appeared briefly in Franklin County court Tuesday after being charged with aggravated vehicular homicide a day earlier and turning himself in. Cordle also is charged with a misdemeanor count of operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol. Judge Julie Lynch ended the hearing shortly after it began. She said an expected arrangement whereby Cordle would plead guilty and be sentenced had changed. Lynch said Cordle should

appear before her again Wednesday. After the hearing, Lynch said Cordle’s lawyers appeared to change their minds about having the case in front of her after she refused to commit to a specific sentence. “Now we’re talking a little different scenario than when people came in and said he wants to take responsibility, he wants to plead guilty, he wants to do this,” Lynch said in an impromptu news conference as she sat at her bench in the courtroom. Cordle faces two to 8½ years in prison. Cordle’s lawyers denied they had decided to look for a different judge instead, a process known as judge shopping, which is banned by court rules. They wouldn’t comment on any discussions of a sentence with the judge. Cordle will enter a not guilty plea initially Wednesday, a process that will lead to a judge chosen at random, defense attorney George Breitmayer said. Cordle will then plead guilty before that judge. That should eliminate any talk of judge shopping, Breitmayer said. “He wants his message to stand

strong, that he’s doing this, he’s taking responsibility for what he’s doing, but he doesn’t want any appearance of favoritism, or any appearance that he sought out any particular judge,” Breitmayer said. Wearing a beige jail shirt and blue pants and slippers, Cordle sat between his lawyers and didn’t speak during the hearing. His family and relatives of Canzani all declined to comment. The video was filmed Sept. 3, and the version posted on YouTube has been viewed more than 1.7 million times. It begins with Cordle’s face blurred as he describes how he has struggled with depression and was simply trying to have a good time with friends going “from bar to bar” the night of the accident. He then describes how he ended up driving into oncoming traffic on Interstate 670. Cordle’s face becomes clear as he reveals his name and confesses to killing Canzani. He ends the video by pleading with viewers not to drink and drive. ___ Online: Matthew Cordle’s video confession: http://bit.ly/1dWug8i

at the Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) headquarters in London. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine called for the formation of the group, which is comprised of criminal justice professionals, and asked the group to review existing protocols and safeguards in place for OHLEG. The OHLEG Advisory Group will be co-chaired by former Ohio Supreme Court Justices Yvette McGee Brown and Evelyn Lundberg Stratton. Other members include: Shelby County Common Pleas Judge James Stevenson, Pickaway County Juvenile Judge Jan Long, Union County Prosecutor David Phillips, Ohio Public Defenders’ Administrative Counsel Dan Jones, Lorain County Sheriff Phil Stammitti, Grove City Chief of Police Steve Robinette and Montgomery County Coroner Kent Harshbarger, M.D., J.D. OHLEG is a secure, web-based law enforcement portal providing criminal justice personnel with access to tools and data sources to help solve crimes and protect our communities. It is a “one-stop shop” for law enforcement, which includes police, sheriffs, parole and probation officers, judges, prosecutors and federal partners. Earlier this summer a facial recognition tool was added to OHLEG permitting law enforcement to compare photographs of suspects or unidentified victims to a database of existing photos that include criminal mug shots, state identification photos and Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) photos. OHLEG is for criminal justice purposes only; misuse is a felony offense. Attorney General DeWine asked the group to review current safeguards and determine if any more need to be added. The Advisory Group will meet again Sept. 20 at 10:30 a.m. The location is to be determined.

Nation/World Today in History The Associated Press

Today is Wednesday, Sept. 11, the 254th day of 2013. There are 111 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 11, 2001, America faced its worst day of terrorism. Nearly 3,000 people were killed as 19 al-Qaida members hijacked four passenger jetliners. Two planes smashed into New York’s World Trade Center, causing the twin towers to fall; one plowed into the Pentagon; and the fourth was crashed into a field in western Pennsylvania. On this date: In 1777, during the American Revolution, forces under Gen. George Washington were defeated by the British in the Battle of Brandywine. In 1814, an American fleet scored a decisive victory over the British in the Battle of Lake Champlain in the War of 1812. In 1857, the Mountain Meadows Massacre took place in present-day southern Utah as a 120-member Arkansas immigrant party was slaughtered by Mormon militiamen aided by Paiute Indians. In 1922, the British Mandate for Palestine went into effect. In 1936, Boulder Dam (now Hoover Dam) began operation as President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressed a key in Washington to signal the startup of the dam’s first hydroelectric generator. In 1941, groundbreaking took place for the Pentagon. In a speech that drew accusations of anti-Semitism, Charles A. Lindbergh told an America First rally in Des Moines, Iowa, that “the British, the Jewish and the Roosevelt administration” were pushing the United States toward war. In 1954, the Miss America pageant made its network TV debut on ABC; Miss California, Lee Meriwether, was crowned the winner. In 1962, The Beatles completed their first single for EMI, “Love Me Do” and “P.S. I Love You,” at EMI studios in London. In 1971, former Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev died at age 77. In 1972, the troubled Munich Summer Olympics ended. Northern California’s Bay Area Rapid Transit system began operations.

Question of enforcement casts cloud on Syria plan Lori Hinnant and Ryan Lucas Associated Press

BEIRUT (AP) — A Russian plan for Syria to turn over its chemical weapons to avert Western missile strikes bogged down Tuesday when Moscow rejected U.S. and French demands for a binding U.N. resolution with “very severe consequences” for noncompliance. The surprise Russian proposal, which Syria and the United States both accepted, would put President Bashar Assad’s regime’s chemical stockpile under international control before its eventual dismantling. The initiative — also cautiously endorsed by Britain and France — appeared to offer a way out of a crisis that raised the prospect of U.S.-led military action against Syria in retaliation for an alleged chemical weapons attack last month. But the plan ran aground as the world powers haggled over the crucial element of how to enforce it. Wary of falling into what the French foreign minister called “a trap,” Paris and Washington are pushing for a U.N. Security Council resolution to verify Syria’s disarmament. Russia, a close Assad ally and the regime’s chief patron on the international stage, dismissed France’s proposal as unacceptable. The dizzying diplomatic maneuvering threatened what had been growing momentum toward a plan that would allow President Barack Obama to back away from military action. Domestic support for a strike is uncertain in the United States, even as Obama seeks Congress’ backing for action — and there has been little international

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Stubbs, the honorary feline mayor of an Alaska town, has recovered enough from severe injuries sustained in a dog mauling to be released from the animal hospital. The 16-year-old cat’s owner, Lauri Stec, drove to Wasilla to bring Stubbs home to Talkeetna on Monday. She said he’s doing OK, but is still in a lot of pain and on a pain patch. Stubbs lives at Nagley’s General Store, and Stec is the manager there. She said for at least a few days, Stubbs will be cared for at a house connected to the back of the store and away from the hubbub. He’ll have to be quiet for a couple months. But Stubbs is a social creature and getting on in years. Stec doesn’t want him to get depressed, so she plans to move him back to the store in a few days. She’ll keep him in his regular sleeping spot on top of a freezer that holds his bed: a mushing sled piled with furs of fox, caribou, beaver and lynx. “He’ll be with his pals,” Stec said of the furs. Stubbs had been under veterinary care after being mauled by a loose dog in Talkeetna, 115 miles north of Anchorage. The Aug. 31 attack left Stubbs with a punctured lung, a fractured sternum, bruised hips and a deep gash on his side. Stec said she knows the dog that was involved and has reported the attack with borough animal control officials.

appetite to join forces against Assad. Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem said early Tuesday during a trip to Moscow that Damascus “agreed to the Russian initiative as it should thwart the U.S. aggression against our country.” Before departing Moscow in the evening, al-Moallem told Lebanon’s Al-Mayadeen TV that Syria would place its chemical weapons locations in the hands of representatives of Russia, other unspecified countries and the United Nations. Syria will also declare the chemical arsenal it long denied having, stop producing such weapons and sign conventions against them. Mindful that Damascus could only be seeking to avoid Western military strikes, France said it would put forward a draft resolution under Chapter 7 of the U.N. charter, making it enforceable with military action. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said the French resolution would demand that Syria open its chemical weapons program to inspection, place it under international control, and ultimately dismantle it. A violation of that commitment, he said, would carry “very serious consequences.” The resolution would condemn the Aug. 21 attack and bring those responsible to justice, he said. “We do not want this to be used as a diversion,” Fabius said. “It is by accepting these precise conditions that we will judge the credibility of the intentions expressed yesterday.” Obama threw his support behind the French resolution and discussed the matter

with French President Francois Hollande and British Prime Minister David Cameron. At the same time, he continued to push his original plan to win congressional authorization for U.S. airstrikes against Assad’s regime in case the diplomatic efforts fail. Obama was to address the nation from the White House on Tuesday night. The prospect of a deal that could be enforced militarily met swift opposition from Russia, which has provided economic, military and diplomatic support to Assad throughout the 2½-year conflict. President Vladimir Putin said the plan can only work if “the American side and those who support the U.S.A, in this sense, reject the use of force.” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told his French counterpart that it is unacceptable for the resolution to cite Chapter 7, the U.N. resolution authorizing force, his ministry said in a statement. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, in turn, said the U.S. rejects a Russian suggestion that the U.N. endorsement come in the form of a non-binding statement from the Security Council president. The U.S. has to have a full resolution — one that entails “consequences if games are played and somebody tries to undermine this,” he said. Obama is sending Kerry to Geneva to discuss the issue with Russia’s foreign minister, a State Department official said. The two are to meet Thursday. The official was not authorized to discuss the mission publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

9/11 ceremony will be a quiet ‘last’ for mayor Jennifer Peltz Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — When this year’s Sept. 11 anniversary ceremony unfolds at ground zero, the mayor who has helped orchestrate the observances from their start will be watching for his last time in office. And saying nothing. Over his years as mayor and chairman of the National Sept. 11 Memorial & Museum, Michael Bloomberg has sometimes tangled with victims’ relatives, religious leaders and other elected officials over an event steeped in symbolism and emotion. But his administration has largely succeeded at its goal of keeping the commemoration centered on the attacks’ victims and their families and relatively free of political image-making. In that spirit, no politicians — including

the mayor — were allowed to speak last year or will be this year. Memorial organizers expect to take primary responsibility for the ceremony next year and say they plan to continue concentrating the event on victims’ loved ones, even as the forthcoming museum creates a new, broader framework for remembering 9/11. “As things evolve in the future, the focus on the remembrance is going to stay sacrosanct,” memorial President Joe Daniels says. At Wednesday’s ceremony on the 2-year-old memorial plaza, relatives will again read the names of the nearly 3,000 people who died when hijacked jets crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and near Shanksville, Pa. Readers also will recite the 1993 trade center bombing victims’ names.

The rich keep getting richer Richest 1 percent earn biggest share since ’20s

Out of the Blue

Honorary feline mayor goes home after dog attack

Paul Wiseman AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) — The gulf between the richest 1 percent and the rest of America is the widest it’s been since the Roaring ’20s. The very wealthiest Americans earned more than 19 percent of the country’s household income last year — their

biggest share since 1928, the year before the stock market crash. And the top 10 percent captured a record 48.2 percent of total earnings last year. U.S. income inequality has been growing for almost three decades. And it grew again last year, according to an analysis of Internal Revenue Service figures dating to 1913 by econo-

mists at the University of California, Berkeley, the Paris School of Economics and Oxford University. One of them, Berkeley’s Emmanuel Saez, said the incomes of the richest Americans surged last year in part because they cashed in stock holdings to avoid higher capital gains taxes that took effect in January.

In 2012, the incomes of the top 1 percent rose nearly 20 percent compared with a 1 percent increase for the remaining 99 percent. The richest Americans were hit hard by the financial crisis. Their incomes fell more than 36 percent in the Great Recession of 2007-09 as stock prices plummeted. Incomes for the bot-

tom 99 percent fell just 11.6 percent, according to the analysis. But since the recession officially ended in June 2009, the top 1 percent have enjoyed the benefits of rising corporate profits and stock prices: 95 percent of the income gains reported since 2009 have gone to the top 1 percent.

iPad video could be key in George Zimmerman case Mike Schneider Associated Press

LAKE MARY, Fla. (AP) — Police investigating a domestic dispute between George Zimmerman and his estranged wife said Tuesday that video from her broken iPad may be crucial evidence in determining whether any charges are filed. Police believe the mobile device captured video of Monday’s dispute at the Lake Mary house

where Zimmerman was living, but the former neighborhood watch volunteer smashed it to pieces and it needs to be examined in a crime lab. Without the video or some other piece of independent evidence, legal experts said it will be hard to build a case because Shellie Zimmerman changed her story about her husband threatening her with a gun and decided not to press charges. “I think it’s severely limited if they can’t get anything from an

eyewitness or video,” said Randy McCLean, a former prosecutor who now practices criminal defense and family law in central Florida. Shellie Zimmerman, 26, had moved out of the house last month but stopped by with her father Monday to gather some remaining items. Shellie Zimmerman’s father owns the house with his wife. Shellie Zimmerman called 911, saying her estranged husband was

in his truck and threatening her and her father with a gun. She also said her husband punched her father in the nose. Hours later, she told police she hadn’t seen a gun. Police said no gun was ever found and the former couple blamed each other for being the aggressor. “The iPad video is going to be paramount in this case,” Zach Hudson, a spokesman for the Lake Mary Police Department.

Obama From page 1 Kerry indicating that the crisis could be defused if Damascus agreed to put its chemical weapons under international control. The president said he was sending Secretary of State John Kerry to meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Thursday, and he added, “I will continue my own discussion” with Russian President Vladimir Putin. At the same time, he said the United States and its allies would work with Russia and China to present a resolution to the United Nations Security Council “requiring Assad to give up his chemical weapons and to ultimately destroy them under international control.” In a speech that lasted 16 minutes, Obama recounted the events of the deadly chemical weapons attack on Aug. 21 that the United States blames on Assad. “When dictators commit atrocities, they depend upon the world to look the other way until these horrifying pictures fade from memory. But these things happened. The facts cannot be denied,” he said. Administration officials said the speech was the sixth Obama has made to the nation from the White House in more than 4 ½ years as president.

Fact check: Obama’s Syria case still Calvin Woodward Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama voiced his conviction Tuesday night that Syrian President Bashar Assad was to blame for deadly chemical attacks against civilians, but again he offered no proof. A look at his remarks to the nation, seeking support for a military strike against Syria, and how they compare with the facts as publicly known: OBAMA: “We know the Assad regime was

responsible…. The facts cannot be denied.” THE FACTS: The Obama administration has not laid out proof Assad was behind the attack. The administration has cited satellite imagery and communications intercepts, backed by social media and intelligence reports from sources in Syria, as the basis for blaming the Assad government. But the only evidence the administration has made public is a collection of videos it has verified of

the victims. The videos do not demonstrate who launched the attacks. Administration officials have not shared the satellite imagery they say shows rockets and artillery fire leaving government-held areas and landing in 12 rebel-held neighborhoods outside Damascus where chemical attacks were reported. Nor have they shared transcripts of the Syrian officials allegedly warning units to ready gas masks or discussing how to handle U.N. investigators after it happened.

Louise S., via email No, it is not! Molasses comes from the juice of sugar cane or sugar beets. The juice is boiled to remove the sugar crystals. How many times the juices are boiled determines the “type” of molasses. Light or regular molasses is made from the first boiling, while dark molasses comes after a second boiling. Blackstrap molasses is what remains after a third boiling, and it has a bitter taste. It’s used in slow-cooking recipes, e.g., baked beans or barbecue. — Heloise Seeding squash Dear Heloise: Cleaning out the pulp and seeds when preparing winter squash using a spoon was difficult.

Don’t turn it; simply pull it along the inside of the squash. The pulp and seeds come out easily. — W.B. in Texas

People in Poland, Greece, Ireland, smoke the most DR. WALLACE: I’m 19 and so is my boyfriend. I was smoking a pack of cigarettes per day when I met my boyfriend two years ago. I stopped smoking then because my boyfriend is a non-smoker, and he asked me to please stop smoking, and I did. It was a difficult task, but with his help, I succeeded and we are both very happy now. I am well aware that smoking can cause serious health problems, especially lung cancer. But I have an aunt who has a serious case of lung cancer, but she nor any of her family has ever smoked. How could she have serious lung cancer if cigarette smoke did not cause it? —Rachael, Cleveland, Ohio RACHAEL: It is possible for a person who had never been subjected to cigarette smoke to be a lung cancer victim, but the odds are much higher for smoke victims. According to the

American Cancer Society, if every person on earth stopped using tobacco products, 83 percent of cases of lung cancer would eventually be eliminated. Of course, this is not going to happen, mainly because of tobacco’s powerful addictive qualities. The anti-smoking campaign in our country is paying dividends, however. The use of tobacco products is declining steadily here. Thanks to its efforts, the United States and Canada have a relatively low percentage of smokers. Poland, Greece, Ireland, Japan and Turkey are the unfortunate leaders. DR. WALLACE: I’m 18 and a recent high school graduate. I’m dating a guy who has a different religion from mine.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Art of Recoveryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; seeks submissions The Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services is seeking entries from local artists for its annual Art of Recovery showcase, to be presented in conjunction with the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual meeting Oct. 16 at Edison Community College in Piqua. Artists who have been affected personally by mental illness or addiction through a family member or friend, or anyone whose art reflects recovery from mental illness or addiction are invited to participate. For display consideration, artwork and an accompanying art submission form must be received by the TriCounty Board no later than Sept.

27. The form and additional details are available at www.mdsadamhs. mh.state.oh.us/art_of_recovery.htm. Art may be submitted in any medium, including but not limited to painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, instrumental music, poetry and short prose. Artists may submit more than one piece and may elect to remain anonymous at the showcase. There is no fee to enter, and no prizes are awarded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art and recovery go hand in hand,â&#x20AC;? said Mark McDaniel, executive director of the Tri-County Board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Creating art can be healing and therapeutic on a number of levels. It provides a

way to communicate deep emotions, promotes confidence, and offers hope, purpose and identity.â&#x20AC;? The Art of Recovery showcase aims to increase public awareness of mental illness and addiction issues in an effort to fight the stigma that often accompanies these diseases. The showcase will be open to the public from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the Robinson Theater of Edison Community College. A brief business meeting and award presentation will also take place. For information about submitting artwork for the Art of Recovery showcase, call 937-335-7727.

increasing the federal minimum wage. These businesses and their owners know that treating employees fairly isn’t just good for them; it’s also good for business. That’s why I’m fighting to pass the Fair Minimum Wage Act, which would raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour and then provide for automatic annual increases linked to changes in the cost of living. The bill would also gradually raise the minimum wage for tipped workers for the first time in 20 years. The tipped minimum wage currently stands at just $2.13 an hour. This bill would increase it to 70 percent of the regular minimum wage. Americans eager to join or re-join the workforce should also have access to good-paying jobs that are the foundation of our middle class. And, of course, every American should have a voice in our democracy. My mother, a native of Mansfield, Georgia who moved to my father’s hometown of Mansfield, Ohio was insistent that every human being be treated with dignity – and that no one is too busy or too important to serve. In her 80s, she led

voter registration drives on a card table outside the local grocery store and helped elect the first African American mayor of Mansfield. I often think of her when we hear of new plots to limit access to the polls. We should continue to encourage seniors, students, and all Americans to vote. However, restrictive voting requirements would have the opposite effect. That’s why I will continue to oppose efforts to curtail access to voting booths – especially in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to eliminate Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act. As we celebrate one of the most famous acts of democracy in our nation’s history, let’s also keep an eye on the future. History remembers the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom as the backdrop for Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” Address. The march – and the movement it nurtured – are so much more than a scene our manychaptered American story; it’s a starting point for what we can achieve when we work together.

West-central Ohio playing major role in Ohio’s economic comeback Something is happening here in west-central Ohio and there aren’t a lot of people talking about it. Step by step, westcentral Ohio is leading the way in Ohio’s comeback. It could be thanks to our strong agricultural sector, which was barely hurt by the recent economic downturn, or it could be thanks to the commitment of Honda of America in the region or any number of other reasons. Nonetheless, the economy in this region is ticking at a faster pace than anywhere else in the state, and that is evidenced by our low unemployment rate, which is less than 5 per-

cent in Mercer County and averages around 5.5 percent in the rest of the four-county area in my district. However, the unemployment rate is still too high and we need to continue striving to get more people back to work. Our future looks bright — with the visionary development effort JobsOhio leading Ohio’s economic development structure, 538 Ohio companies have grown in the past two years in this state and there have been commitments of 41,292 new private-sector jobs. Here in west-central Ohio, the Casad Co. recently announced an expansion with nearly 60

Support law to help adoptees To the editor: As an Ohio adoptee, I am writing to encourage Sidney Daily News readers to support Ohio Senate Bill 23 and Ohio House Bill 61. These two important pieces of legislation would provide adopted Ohioans access to their original birth certificate (OBC). In today’s society it is hard to imagine that government actively prevents certain citizens from accessing basic information about themselves. But by denying Ohioans adopted between 1964 and 1996 access to their OBC, our state government denies these people the right to such fundamental information as when and where they were born, and the names of their biological parents. Ohioans adopted before 1964 and after 1996 already have access to this important document. It is time that Ohio law supports equal access for all Ohio adoptees. In addition to the basic right to know one’s own history, there are other public policy reasons to support these bills. Increasingly, medical professionals

rely on medical history to diagnose and treat diseases. Adoptees who are denied access to their OBC have no access to this critical piece of their personal history. In some cases, adoptees and their insurance companies pay for tests that would not be necessary if biological family health history was available. SB 23 and HB 61 also provide a method for adoptees to obtain updated health history information. SB 23 and HB 61 would rectify an obvious wrong, and deserve to be signed into law. Despite overwhelming support from both the House and Senate (HB 61 passed the House 96-1 and SB 23 passed the Senate Medicaid, Health and Human Services Committee 9-0), the bills have been stalled without a vote by the full Senate for several months now. I encourage all Sidney Daily News readers to contact our state Senator, Keith Faber, and encourage him to actively support these vital pieces of legislation. Becky Drinnen 806 Foraker Ave.

Drug recovery agency starts ‘room adoption’ drive Patricia Ann Speelman pspeelman@civitasmedia.com

Editor’s note: Drug abuse, especially heroin addiction, has mushroomed in Shelby County. This is the first in a series of articles that will explore the human face of addiction as well as the statistics. Today’s story features one organization that is trying to turn things around.

The furniture is serviceable, but old and tired. The hardwood floor is splintered and there’s a large hole in it, covered by a sofa so it doesn’t swallow people’s ankles. The carpeting and draperies have seen better days. But the residents of Serenity House and Amelia House don’t talk about any of that. They talk about the support the Samaritan Works Inc. (SWI) facilities provide them as they attempt to overcome drug and alcohol addiction. The SWI staff and board, however, want to improve the living conditions of the recovering addicts in their care. The faith-based program for men at Serenity House and for women at Amelia House allows recovering addicts to live in the facilities for up to 18 months, although the program can be completed in half a year. Admission is voluntary. Residents must pay a $200 entry fee and $100 per week for services, housing and utilities. They must hold down fulltime jobs and attend four 12-step meetings each week. Professional counseling is required on a regular basis, as is connection to an Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous sponsor. Weekly attendance at a church of choice is mandatory. It’s a routine that helps addicts separate from their dependencies and feel safe in their living environment. “But we want to make improvements to the houses,” said SWI board member Mike McGrill. “These people deserve a nice place to live.” SWI Executive Director Mike Martin hopes to raise $21,000 by asking donors to “adopt” rooms in the houses and pay for upgrades. Plaques will be displayed acknowledging the rooms’ donors. “(Recovering addicts) think, ‘No one cares about me. I deserve not to be liked,’” Martin said. “But that’s a lonely place to be. Seeing plaques shows that someone does care.” “It’s hard to get funding for these people,” McGrill said. “They’re not the kid from Haiti with the big eyes. (The fund drive is about) helping people see that, despite their outward appearance, these people are worth helping.” To arrange to see the houses or make a donation, call Martin at 492-9136, ext. 119. SWI gets most of its funding from the Shelby County United Way. Sidney First United Methodist Church provides the houses and office space and employs Martin as its recovery pastor. SWI is an independent, nonprofit organization. Martin, SWI Assistant Director and Amelia House Manager Celesia Vargas and Serenity House Manager Kim Reeder understand what their charges go through in the fight against the pull drugs and alcohol can have. They are all recovered addicts themselves. “People come in wounded and hurt,” Martin said. “We assess

their needs. They may have three felonies. They may have to work off fines or find their child. Maybe he doesn’t have a job.” The staff collaborates with other agencies to work out individual plans for each resident: “Things that will make them feel better about themselves,” Martin said. “We get them hooked up with professional counseling. We get them involved with church.” Residents also participate in group sessions in the houses. Volunteers Bud Ford and Rich Wallace conduct weekly Bible studies there. No one in the houses is permitted to drink or use drugs on the property or off while they are in residence. If they do, they are dismissed from the program and must move out of the house for two weeks. “If they’ve used in the house, they’ve put everyone in the house at risk,” Martin said. “I’m not going to jeopardize someone’s chance at recovery because someone wants to play games with us.” When they return, they start the program over with Phase 1. The recovery process is in five phases. The first, which lasts 30 days, is participation in a 12-step program. Each phase thereafter includes the requirements of the previous phases and adds more stipulations. The second phase, also 30 days, requires that the addict get a mentor. “Ask someone from church,” Martin encourages. There are several area volunteers who serve as mentors and Martin hopes to offer mentoring training soon. He wants to educate would-be volunteers on what to look out for, practical knowledge of what addiction is. Phase 3, for 60 days, is about writing a budget and following it. Phase 4, for 60 days, is working on an exit plan. Phase 5 continues the work toward successful, drugfree, independent living once the 6-month plan is finished. Although residents can complete the program in six months, they can elect to stay in the houses for up to 18 months. “Recovery is about routine,” Martin said. “Some people’s lives are such a mess” that they don’t feel ready to leave in just six months. “They may be scared to leave,” McGrill said. When graduates do leave, they are eligible for voluntary aftercare. “They want to get out but still want accountability,” Martin added. Each house can accommodate six people at a time. Serenity House sees 50 to 60 residents per year and is full most of the time. Amelia House usually has one or two openings at any given time. “Women get addicted to men as well as to a drug, so they have somewhere to run to. Men have nowhere to go. Some (women) have a hard time because they have children. Six months without their kids is hard,” Martin said. “These women are extremely co-dependent on men,” Vargas said of the Amelia House addicts. “(They’re) turning to drugs to mask things that happened in their childhood. They will turn from their children to keep the man.” Her charges look to her as a mentor because she is someone who understands the physical

abuse, the sexual abuse as a child, the co-dependency. “I also understand the manipulation and the lies,” Vargas said. Her own story of addiction and recovery will be told later in this series. About 10 percent of residents actually finish the program. “That may not seem like many,” McGrill said. “But it’s like the story of the boy and the starfish.” On a beach littered with stranded starfish after a tide went out, a boy walked along throwing one after another back into the sea. When an adult pointed out that his efforts were useless because he couldn’t possibly save them all, that his work wouldn’t matter, the boy tossed the next one into the water and said, “It matters to that one.” “One person touches thousands of other people in recovery. Even if people are there for just two months, they know there’s a 12-step program and counseling,” Martin said. McGrill, who is a Sidney police officer, is often asked by former residents about returning to SWI. “They approach me on the street,” he said. “‘Hey, can you get me back in?’ I’m the sheep dog rounding up sheep and sending them to Mike.” Most of the addicts over 45 who enroll in SWI battle alcoholism. Most of the addicts under 30 battle drug abuse and the staff has recently seen a big increase in admission of heroin addicts. SWI welcomes them all. In a recent organization publication, Martin wrote: “Our community is not immune to the devastating effects of drug and alcohol use and dependency. The effect of substance dependency in Shelby County reaches individuals, marriages, parents, children, employers, churches, social setting and more … Drug and alcohol addiction weaves its way into good people’s lives for many varied reasons … The good news is that we can stand together against the terrible beast of addiction. We can stand with our fellow citizens and neighbors to bring encouragement and healing to

individuals and families.” When Serenity House, which had existed as a halfway house for several decades, merged with SWI in 2008 and Martin became the director, he brought practical ideas with him about what really works to get people to recover. Some of the ideas were based on processes he, himself, had used to overcome his own addiction to alcohol. He, too, will share his story during this series. “We don’t want to cram anything down their throats,” Martin said. “We meet one-on-one weekly to dig into what’s our next step. I can go back on our goal sheets and show them what they’ve accomplished.” Accomplishment is empowering. Accountability is empowering. So is assistance.

The SWI program relies on 12-step sponsors and spiritual mentors. “Most people don’t make it without a sponsor,” Martin added. “And a spiritual mentor works with them on discipleship, people who are role models. (People in recovery who are doing well) are still friends with their mentors.” The biggest challenge for SWI, said board member McGrill, is funding. “The fight against substance dependency is fierce, but our dedication will not waiver,” Martin wrote. “We will serve the undeserving, offer hope to the hopeless and help individuals overcome the impossible, one person at a time; one day at a time.”

City’s water, sewer bills to increase in 2014 Melanie Speicher

mspeicher@civitasmedia.com

Sidney residents will see an increase on their water and sewer bills at the beginning of the year. The increases were discussed during Monday night’s Sidney City Council meeting and are part of the city’s five-year financial plan. The increase in the water bills will be used to fund the city’s water source and other improvements, said Ginger Adams, finance officer. In 2014, the increase in the water bill will be 29 percent, she said, and it will be used to fund the water source project debt service. In 2015, there will be another increase of 15 percent which will be used to fund the lime lagoon repair project debt service. The sewer flow rate increase will fund the sewer fund, which pays for capital projects required by the EPA. In 2014, the rate increase will be 20 percent while the monthly EPA fee will be 3 percent. The monthly EPA fee helps fund the expanded I&I reduction capabilities, expansion of the waste water treatment plant capacity and other EPA requirements. This is a flat, monthly fee charged for each sewer connection.

Councilman Rick Sims questioned how much advance notice will be given to residents about the increase. Adams said the increase is included in the five-year plan, the budget and in ordinances that will be adopted in December. Last year, when an increase was also approved, residents received notification on their utility bills, via a flyer and on the city’s website. City Manager Mark Cundiff said, even though residents were informed of the increase, it wasn’t until they received their first bill with the higher charges that the city received phone calls about it. Mayor Mike Barhorst said he’d like to see a flyer go out to the residents beginning in October with the city’s “best guess of what’s going to happen.” The Wapakoneta Avenue reconstruction project is on schedule. Landscaping will be completed before the final paving of the road. Concerns about “through” traffic on the street, even though it isn’t open yet, has been brought to the attention of the Sidney Police Department. Chief Will Balling said additional patrols have been observing the traffic in the construction area. “More people are using it than they should be,” said Balling. “If they are com-

ing straight down through the construction (from Parkwood to Russell), we will be issuing them a citation.” In other business, council: • Approved a resolution accepting the Shelby County Budget Commission’s estimate of the city’s share of the property tax levy inside the 10-mill limitation. The commission set the operating mills at 3.2 and the operating amount at $1,129,814. In 2012, the city received $1,059,312 from property tax inside the 10-mill limitation. • Reappointed Karl Bemus to the Personnel Board of Appeals. He has served on the board since 1980. • Authorized Law Director Jeff Amick to initiate litigation to acquire a public right-of-way behind property owned by Robert A. Smith and Malissa L. Smith at 621 N. Main Ave. Amrick said there is no record which shows the alley between Ohio and Main avenues is a public rightof-way. He said he has contacted all property owners about the alley and no one opposes making it a public right-ofway. He said five letters and three phone calls have been made to the Smiths with no response. The case will be filed in Shelby County Common Pleas Court. • Discussed a liquor license owner-

ship transfer from Sri Radha Corp, doing business as Dairy Mart 5382 to VBP Investments LLC, dba Sidney Food Mart, located at 1206 W. Michigan St. No one opposed the request. • Learned there has been no response from the Ohio Department of Transportation concerning the Wilkinson Avenue situation. Several options on what to do with the intersection were sent to ODOT. Sidney resident John Laws said a simple solution to the problem is to make each entrance onto Ohio 47 a right turn only intersection. This is one of the options that was sent to ODOT. • Learned another pocket of water was discovered during the runway construction at the airport. There may be a delay with receiving the bulbs for lighting the new runway as the company where the subcontractor was going to buy them has gone out of business. Options about the lighting are being explored. • Learned there will be police officer testing Sunday from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Sidney High School. There are 63 recruits signed up for the testing. If the person passes the physical test in the morning, then he/she will return for the written test in the afternoon.

regular exercise, such as daily walking, can bring the heart rate down. DEAR DR. ROACH: You recently advised Kegel exercises. Where can I find out more about how to do them? Are they applicable to men as well? — J.B. ANSWER: Kegel exercises definitely can be used by men, and may be beneficial for incontinence or dribbling, especially after prostate surgery. Some men have noted improvement in sexual function as well. They are done the same way as for women, as I outlined in my column last July. But if you have access to a computer, you can get very detailed instructions by going to http://www.nlm.nih. gov/medlineplus and searching for “Kegel exercises.” All the information on this site has been reviewed by the National Library of Health (part of National Institutes of Health), and it is my first stop if I am looking for patient information. DEAR DR. ROACH: Will my berserk bursa go away? I have a fluid-filled sac starting at one elbow and extending

3 inches down my forearm. It is 1.5 inches wide and about three-quarters of an inch thick with arm flexed. With the arm straight, it hangs down as a limp, mostly empty bag. No pain, redness or any other sign of anything worrisome. That elbow is somewhat sensitive to lean on. My doctor only suggests wearing a protective cuff. I’d like it to go away. Any chance? — A. ANSWER: A bursa is a sac, usually filled with a very small amount of fluid, which protects soft tissues from bony prominences. Bursitis is an inflammation, often from trauma, that causes the bursa to go “berserk,” sometimes swelling to many times its normal size, and sometimes with redness and warmth. It may go away by itself, but it is more likely to with an anti-inflammatory medicine or, better yet, a steroid injection. Surgery rarely is needed.

DEAR ABBY: A year and a half ago, I reconnected with “Paul.” We were in grade school together and hadn’t seen each other for many years. We have been extremely happy and want to spend our remaining years together. Because of our ages (we’re both seniors) and separate families and incomes, we feel marriage is not what we’d like to do. But we would like to move in together. Would it be ridiculous for us to do that without being

married? Will the world condemn us? Will our children understand or ostracize us? How do we handle questions about why we have chosen not to marry? — IN LOVE IN LOUISIANA DEAR IN LOVE: Many older couples do what you are considering because being married would negatively affect their retirement income. If your children like Paul — and his children like you — I doubt you will be ostracized. Most adult children want their parents to be happy. If you’re worried about how the community will react to your living arrangement, consider talking to a clergyperson about being “married in the eyes of God.” As to questions about why you have chosen not to marry, apart from your family, it is nobody’s business and you are not obligated to discuss it.

Evans, local businessmen. 50 years Sept. 11, 1963 Damage was estimated at $4,500 in a fire that destroyed a barn on the Harry Shroyer farm on Stoker road at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday. Mrs. Shroyer said today, “I didn’t see the fire start but I saw the barn go down.” It was she who called a neighbor, Mrs. Henry Ratliff, to notify the Lockington fire department. They called for aid from Fort Loramie, who were released as soon as they arrived because the damage was complete by the time the trucks arrived. Lockington firemen were on the scene for about an hour. They were unable to pinpoint a cause of the fire. 25 years Sept. 11, 1988 C.H.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, Sept. 12, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This afternoon you might encounter difficulties with travel plans. If so, postpone important decisions until tomorrow. Similar challenges could arise with publishing, the media, medicine and the law. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Although you're focused on shared property, insurance matters and inheritances today, just do your homework and fill your data bank. Wait until tomorrow to make a firm decision about anything. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be patient with others, because today the Moon is at odds with the Sun, and everything is a bit loosey-goosey and all over the map. Tomorrow things will settle down. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) At work today, just attend to routine duties. Don't initiate new things or volunteer for anything. Keep your head down and your powder dry. Easy does it. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This can be a creative day for you; nevertheless, you might encounter obstacles with others. Don't be pushy with your agenda. You will have more success if you wait until tomorrow. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a classic day where you can hide at home in front of the TV with junk food. Play hooky if you can. Work tomorrow. But for those who must work, be low-key. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a poor day for important decisions. If you have to agree to anything important, do it in the morning. Ideally, you will wait until tomorrow. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Although you're focused on financial matters today, except for the morning, this is a poor day for financial decisions. Tomorrow is much better. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Although the Moon is in your sign today, you will find it difficult dealing with authority figures, especially females. Try to stay flexible and light on your feet. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Keep a low-profile today. If possible, you will enjoy working behind the scenes or working alone. Better yet, you'll enjoy quietly resting. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Expect opposition in group situations today. If you can, you might want to postpone important suggestions until tomorrow. (Easier, more productive day.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a poor day to ask for approval or permission from authority figures. By contrast, tomorrow is a good day. (Forewarned is forearmed.) YOU BORN TODAY You are fearless, and your bravery often is connected with ethical issues that are important to you. You're private and sometimes difficult to find; and yet, you are witty and entertaining. Words and language fascinate you. Above all, you are a realist. This year something you've been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish to make room for something new.

New Bremen, Versailles win heat-shortened FL Invitational FORT LORAMIE – Concerns about the heat caused Fort Loramie Cross Country Invitational officials to make a change to the annual event, held at White Oak Campgrunds Tuesday. The varsity teams ran shortened races, the distance being the same as the junior high teams ran. “Due to the heat and humidity, the high school races were shortened to two miles,” said Loramie cross country coach Dennis Prenger. “We decided to do this after looking at the OHSAA heat guidelines, consulting medical personnel and contacting other coaches. All felt it was better to take steps to reduce the risk rather than take the chance.” New Bremen won the varsity boys race with 58, to 134 for runner-up Lehman. There were 15 teams. Sidney’s Chris Musser was the race winner, with teammate Jared Tangeman placing sixth. New Bremen had two in the top 10 in Nathan Herriott in eighth and Brad Rammel ninth. Cort Speckman was 11th. Cassie Boyle won the girls race, with Fort Loramie’s Meg Westerheide second. Lehman’s Caroline Heitmeyer and Jenna Zimmerman were third and fourth. Versailles won the team title with 45, 13 better than Loramie. Sidney won the junior high boys title with 78, two points ahead of Fort Loramie. Eli Stramen was the top Sidney finsiher in third place and Gavin Bockrath was 11th. In junior high girls action, Coldwater was first with 47 and Versailles second with 56. Lehman’s Alanna O’Leary

was second in 12:37.96 and Russia’s Megan Frazier third in 12:43.84. Anna fiessinger of Russia was fifth, right behind Lillian Hirschfeld of New Bremen.

Thrilling, but not pretty Ken Barhorst and Dave Ross Sidney and Bellefontaine played a thriller last week, the Chieftains pulling out the win in overtime after the Jackets scored twice in the final six minutes to tie the game up in regulation. Despite the thrilling ending, it wasn’t pretty for either team. Sidney turned the ball over six times, including four interceptions, and Bellefontaine was whistled for nine penalties, four of them for unsportsmanlike conduct. Sidney’s running game had an improved night over the opener, with the Jackets getting tailback Eric Barnes untracked. He finished with 82 yards on 11 carries, an average of 7.5 per carry. He broke off a 44-yarder for his biggest gain of the season so far. Quarterback Jordan Fox completed 20 of 31 passes for 65 percent and 160 yards. Scott Stewart caught nine passes in the game. And on the defensive side, linebacker Zach Scott had an amazing game, finishing with 19 tackles, including 12 solo. The first of those two fourthquarter TDs came when Brian Taborn recovered a fumble in the endzone. In Saturday’s account of the game, it said Jalen Herd had recovered the fumble. Sidney (1-1) returns home to meet winless West Carrollton with a solid opportunity to right the ship. Sidney stands 7-10-1 with the Pirates dating back to 1975. In 1978 the teams tied 14-14 and both went 8-1-1 with losses to Northmont in the old Miami Central Conference. Lehman opens up Lehman coach and football traditionalist Dick Roll decided in the off-season to follow a national trend and install the “spread” offense. As his team showed in Friday’s impressive 33-18 win over Minster at Sidney Memorial Stadium, he has the quarterback (Nick Rourke) and receivers to make it work (457 yards passing). He

Extra points also has an assistant coach who understands the offense from playing in it. Dan Jacob was a fine runner at Lehman before going on to the University of Dayton at the time the Flyers had just transitioned to the spread. Jacob was well suited to the offense as a running back with good receiver skills, and enjoyed a solid career at Dayton. Following graduation he went to work at Crown in New Bremen. All the while he stayed in touch with Roll, who was Dan’s coach at Lehman for two playoff seasons. Prior to this season they discussed the prospect of Jacob joining the Cavaliers coaching staff. Dick needed a coach, especially one who grasped the new “pass happy” offense. They agreed to give it a try and “so far so good.” On many days Dan’s work schedule won’t allow him to be at practice until after 5 p.m. On those days offensive team drills await his arrival. “Our spread is similar to Dayton’s,” Roll told us before Friday’s game. “Dan knows it and has been a big help.” One of the most impressive things about Lehman’s win over Minster was the protection the offensive line gave Rourke. He had time to throw most of the night, and when the pocket did collapse, he used his feet to escape trouble. And he has the receivers to throw to, completing at least four passes to three different receivers. The main drawback to the Cavs’ win was penalties. They were flagged 11 times for 105 yards. Minster was flagged nine times for 90 yards. This Friday Lehman heads southeast to Division IV London to bridge a scheduling gap between Indian Lake’s departure and Graham’s return to the Cavaliers grid calendar. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m.London was beaten 64-3 by Urbana in the season opener, then beat Greenon 6-0 last week.

Lehman grad Dan Jacob stands with University of Dayton football public address announcer Dave Ross after a game at Welcome Stadium. Jacob is now a member of the Lehman coaching staff, and Ross often called his name during UD games.

The Cavs go to Graham in week three of 2014. Real football guy Doug Zimmer is a new assistant principal at Sidney High School and brings an impressive football background. The Tipp City native was an outstanding high school player before a stellar career at defensive back for the Dayton Flyers (1983-86) that eventually landed him in the UD Athletic Hall of Fame. Doug was an assistant coach and athletic director at Troy, and head football coach at both Greenville and Wapakoneta. He’s also been a licensed football official and worked many games in Sidney below the varsity level. Continuity In the last half century plus, Anna has only had two athletic directors. Bob Anderson arrived in 1956 and was succeeded by current AD Mike Muehlfeld in 1987. Football was added during the latter’s tenure and the Rockets first played a full varsity slate in 2000. Extra points Minster (0-2) scored three TD’s in each of its first two

games but is yet to tally an extra point. That spelled the difference in the 21-18 opening loss to Fort Loramie, and created awkward margins throughout the Lehman game. We spoke to new Wildcat coach Geron Stokes before last Friday’s game and came away with two major impressions. He’s sold on Minster’s overall talent level, and he’s excited about coaching in the Midwest Athletic Conference with all of its annual playoff success. The Wildcats visit winless New Bremen on Friday. Loramie challenged Fort Loramie has started with a pair of wins but now faces a pair of Division VI quality non-league opponents with both contests at Loramie. Both Defiance Tinora (1-1) and Ada (2-0) are perennial playoff teams and combined to go 17-3 during the 2012 regular season. Ada’s new coach is Bob Olwin, formerly at Versailles and now the head man at a ninth different high school. After leaving Versailles he spent a single season at Millbury Lake before succeeding Mike Fell at

Ada. Fell went to Lima Senior to coach his alma mater. Too far behind Anna made a gallant effort to get back in the game Friday night at Brookville, but just fell too far behind, trailing 24-0 at the half. Standout running back Christian Williams is already halfway to the 1,000-yard mark after only two games, rushing for 174 yards last week on 27 attempts to give him 497 for the season so far. Anna’s defense had a difficult time stopping the Blue Devils, who rushed for 319 yards against the Rockets, necessitating only four pass attempts all night. Wes Showalter had a big night defensively, with 18 tackles, including 10 solos. Careful of those bleachers The game between Columbus St. Charles and Eastmoor last week was marred by a bleacher railing collapse that injured two St. Charles students. According to a report, one suffered a broken arm and the other a broken leg. According to a story in the Columbus Dispatch, injuries involving school bleachers sent more than 9,000 people for medical treatment in the U.S. last year. The collapse occurred as dozens of fans gathered when a TV news camera panned the student section. Out due to shark attack A 17-year-old Daytona Beach high school football player is out of action for awhile after being bitten by a shark. Raushod Floyd, a wide receiver at Seabreeze High School, said the football team had just finished practice and some of the team members decided to go for a swim. He was in wastehigh water when the shark bit him. He thought the shark just hit him in the shoulder and didn’t realize he’d been bitten until he stood up and a teammate saw the blood. He needed 30 stitches to close the wound.

Meyer fairly optimistic Miller will play COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — What’s brewing with the 2013 Ohio State Buckeyes … BUCKEYES BUZZ: Now that coach Urban Meyer has seen QB Braxton Miller throw and move some, he’s feeling better about Miller’s chances of seeing action when No. 4 Ohio State plays at California on Saturday at 7 p.m. “Yeah, I’m fairly optimistic,” Meyer said on the Big Ten coaches’ teleconference on Tuesday. “With everything I’ve been told, the improvement made between day 3 and day 4 (after a sprained knee) is very important and it’s usually substantial. I’m fairly optimistic.” Miller sustained a sprained medialcollateral ligament in his left knee after being hit early in Saturday’s 42-7 victory over San Diego State. After several minutes on the turf, Miller limped to the sideline and then was taken to the locker room by motorized cart. He returned to the sideline, but did not play again. Meyer said he saw Braxton throw a few passes and then would evaluate him after he practiced on Tuesday. “We’ll know more (Wednesday) on if he’ll be available for the Cal game,”

Meyer said. Miller got treatment on the knee on Sunday and Monday. After watching the junior go through a “limited-capacity” workout on Tuesday, Miller may be tested more in the last big practice before the Buckeyes’ third game of the season. “It’s just, can he plant, can he move, and all of that,” Meyer said. WHO’S NEXT: Meyer also revealed that backup QB Kenny Guiton got hit in the San Diego State game and his hand was badly swollen on Sunday. Asked Tuesday if there’s any concern about Guiton’s hand, Meyer said, “No. I checked with him today and he’s fine. He’s ready to go. And it was just a contusion.” QUOTE OF THE DAY: Ohio State DT Michael Bennett, asked if it’s possible for a player to fake an injury in order to slow down a hurry-up, spread offense: “I feel like in soccer they actually have time to practice faking injuries. I don’t know. I’ve never tried to fake an injury. I’ve tried to fake not being injured, so I don’t really know how that works.” SCARY STUFF: Armani Reeves is a sophomore CB for the Buckeyes who started the first game of the

season while star player Bradley Roby was suspended for an off-the-field legal matter. He was just OK in the opener, but had a big game playing special teams in the win over San Diego State. Running down at full tilt on kickoff coverage and then crashing into opposing players is something that appeals to Reeves, from West Roxbury, Mass. It fits his personality. “I like everything going fast,” he said. “Because I’m a fast person, I’m always moving on the field. I’m like Sonic (the hedgehog), I guess, because I can’t stop when I’m on the field.” He was selected by the coaching staff as the special teams’ player of the game for his play last weekend. “I got a nice T-shirt,” he said, laughing. “Being recognized by the team for all your hard efforts, that’s the reward in itself. All the guys clapping for you, seeing on film that you did your job well — that’s a great feeling, all your teammates happy for you. Like I’m happy for them.” Asked to describe the T-shirt, he said, “It’s like a skull and it says ‘Special Forces’ on it. It’s pretty intimidating. My mom got scared when I showed her the picture.”
