BEIRUT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A highranking Syrian official called the U.S.-Russian agreement on securing Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chemical weapons a â&#x20AC;&#x153;victoryâ&#x20AC;? for President Bashar Assadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regime, but the U.S. warned Sunday â&#x20AC;&#x153;the threat of force is realâ&#x20AC;? if Damascus fails to carry out the plan.

The comments by Syrian Minister of National Reconciliation Ali Haidar to a Russian state news agency were the first by a senior Syrian government official on the deal struck a day earlier in Geneva. Under the agreement, Syria will provide an inventory of its chemical arsenal within

one week and hand over all of the components of its program by mid-2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We welcome these agreements,â&#x20AC;? Haidar was quoted as saying by the RIA Novosti agency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the one hand, they will help Syrians get out of the crisis, and on the other hand, they averted a war against Syria by removing the pretext for those who wanted to unleash one.â&#x20AC;?

He added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;These agreements are a credit to Russian diplomacy and the Russian leadership. This is a victory for Syria, achieved thanks to our Russian friends.â&#x20AC;?

There has been no official statement from the Syrian government, and it was not clear whether Haidarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments

reflected Assadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thinking.

The deal, hashed out in marathon negotiations between U.S. and Russian diplomats, averts American missile strikes against the Assad regime, although the Obama administration has warned that the military option remains on the table if Damascus does not comply. President Barack Obama said last week the U.S. Navy will maintain its increased presence in the eastern Mediterranean Sea to keep pressure on Syria and to be in position to respond if diplomacy fails. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The threat of force is real, and the Assad regime and all those taking part need to understand that President Obama and the United States

<]lYadk Yl

are committed to achieve this goal,â&#x20AC;? U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday in Jerusalem, where he briefed Israeli leaders on the agreement.

He also said the agreement, if successful, â&#x20AC;&#x153;will have set a marker for the standard of behavior with respect to Iran and with respect North Korea and any rogue state, (or) group that tries to reach for these kind of weapons.â&#x20AC;?

French President Francois Hollande said in a televised address to his country that he has not ruled out the â&#x20AC;&#x153;military option,â&#x20AC;? either. Otherwise, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;there will be no pressure.â&#x20AC;?

RUSSIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Shelby County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office has released the identity of a man presumed struck and killed by a train in Russia Saturday evening.

Deputies said Nathaniel Rohan, 29, who had moved recently from Maryland to reside with relatives in Russia, was identified by a unique bracelet he was wearing. The Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office received a call at 7:17 p.m. Saturday from the CSX Railroad Co. reporting that a train that had traveled westward between the Miller Road and Russia Road crossings in Russia, and an employee on the train had seen what they believed to be human Rohan remains between the tracks.

Deputies were dispatched to the scene and located the body of a man at the end of Lynn Street. The coronerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office was called to the scene shortly after 8 p.m.

The Shelby County Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office continues to investigate the incident and is treating it as a homicide until more information is known. WHIO-TV reported that acquaintances of Rohan said he had a history of drug and alcohol problems and that he had been drinking over the past several days.

Sidney graduate named National Merit Scholarship semifinalist A Sidney High School graduate has been named a National Merit Scholarship Program semifinalist for 2014.

Tian â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ardyâ&#x20AC;? Li, daughter of Yongxin Wang and Jiyao Li, is one of 16,000 students named a semifinalist by the National Merit Scholarship Corp., Evanston, Ill. Li and the other high school seniors will have the opportunity to continue in the competition for some 8,000 National Merit Scholarships worth about $35 million that will be offered next spring.

Li, a 2013 graduate of Sidney High School, was one of the class valedictorians. She is currently attending Ohio State University.

To be considered for a

Merit Scholarship award, semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the finalist level of the competition. About 90 percent of the semifinalists are expected to attain finalist standing and more than half of the finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar title.

NMSC, a not-for-profit organizations that operates without government assistance, was established in 1955 specifically to conduct the annual National Merit Scholarship Program.

Scholarships are underwritten by NMSC with its own funds and by approximately 440 business organizations and higher education institutions that share NMSCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

goals of honoring the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scholastic champions and encouraging the pursuit of academic excellence.

About 1.5 million juniors in more than 22,000 high schools entered the 2014 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2012 Preliminary SAT/ National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which served as an initial screen of program entrants. The nationwide pool of semifinalists, representing less than 1 percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state. The number of semifinalists in a state is proportional to the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s See MERIT | 3

Tian â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ardyâ&#x20AC;? Li, a 2013 graduate of Sidney High School, was one of the valedictorians for her graduation in May. Li has been named a semifinalists in the National Merit Scholarship Program.

BOE accepts Gooding resignation HOUSTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The resignation of the former athletic director for the Hardin-Houston Local School District was accepted during the Board of Educationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s August meeting.

According to Superintendent Larry Claypool, the resignation of Jim Gooding was effective Aug. 5.

Goodingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job with the district has been on a roller coaster after he was accused of in appropriate conduct with a teenage female student on Feb. 6. The alleged incident occurred before school in the weight room. The student told a teacher that Gooding began rubbing her shoulders while she was putting on her tennis shoe and then pulled up her shirt and began massaging her back down to the top of her shorts, touching the top of her buttock before she jumped up and called him â&#x20AC;&#x153;a creep.â&#x20AC;?

The board had passed a resolution in March terminating Goodingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contract. He had been with the district for 18 years and had been suspended without pay.

It was announced in March by Lt. Cori Steiner at the end of the Shelby County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office investigation, that no criminal charges would be filed.

In April, Gooding requested a hearing about the termination to be conducted by an outside mediator. That hearing had been set for Sept. 4-5. Since Gooding resigned, the hearing was canceled.

John Willoughby was hired in May as the new athletic director for the school district.

Police: Mobile home fire kills man, 5 kids John Seewer Associated Press

TIFFIN (AP) — A fast-moving fire claimed the lives of a man and five children under the age of 7 on Sunday morning when it swept through a mobile home in northwest Ohio.

The fire was reported shortly before 8 a.m. Sunday in a mobile home park in Tiffin, about 50 miles southeast of Toledo. Firefighters got all six people out in about 12 minutes, but all were pronounced dead at a hospital, Tiffin Fire Chief William said.

Owanna Ortiz said her first cousin, Anna Angel, was the children’s mother and lived in the home with them and the man who died. Ortiz said the family didn’t have a car and had to get around on bicycles.

“If she had to get somewhere, they had two strollers they had to take, but they made it work,” Ortiz said.

A stroller, a little pink bicycle and an adult bicycle with a bike trailer attached to the back could be seen outside the home with its charred and broken windows.

“She had a whole family and now she has nothing,” Ortiz said of her cousin.

The two oldest children were in kindergarten and first grade, Ortiz said.

“They were always happy and full of sunshine,” she said.

“The older ones looked out for the younger ones.”

Her cousin was working at a fast-food restaurant at the time of the fire, Ortiz said.

Authorities would not confirm the identities or relationships of those killed or comment on a possible cause. A state fire marshal’s investigator said there were no indications of anything suspicious and it could take up to two days before authorities know how the six died.

“We won’t release any more information until we know the cause of death,” state investigator Tim Spradlin said.

Nancy Williams, who manages the Highland Park Estates mobile home park and lives there, said she yelled to her son to call 911 and ran to the home when a neighbor alerted her to the blaze.

“I knew there were babies in there,” she said. “But once we got there, there was nothing we could do. It was fully engulfed in flames and we couldn’t get in.”

Firefighters extinguish a mobile home fire Sunday that killed a man and five children in Tiffin, Ohio, according to police. Fire crews pulled the man and the children from the home, and all six were taken to Tiffin Mercy Hospital, where they were pronounced dead. The fire was reported shortly before 8 a.m. Sunday in a mobile home park in Tiffin, about 50 miles southeast of Toledo.

fire in the center of the mobile home and heavy smoke throughout the structure when firefighters arrived. Witnesses said the fire burned quickly, breaking out windows and peeling some of the trailer’s aluminum siding.

Williams’ voice broke as she described seeing rescuers bringing the children from the home.

“It’s so heartbreaking,” she said.

Another neighbor, Rick Hummell, 49, said he also went to the home to see if he could

help when he saw the fire.

“I watched the babies get dragged out,” Hummell said.

“It just made me sick.”

Hummell said he often saw the children outside and would give them money for ice cream.

“Every time the ice cream truck came through, we’d say, ‘Here, get yourselves something,’” Hummell said.

Hummell said the woman would often load up the trailer with the children and ride through the mobile home park.

“She was always good to her kids,” he said.

Cheryl L. Opp, who lived nearby said it was a serene Sunday morning she went to walk the dogs about a half hour before she heard them barking and looked out window to see the mobile home on fire.

She said the kids always seemed to be happy and she saw them outside often.

“This takes my heart away,” Opp said.

Louis Keller, lived across the road from the home that burned, and also said the kids were always out playing.

“They would come over and play with my dogs,” he said as a strong smell of smoke blew across his yard.

Harry Miller, chief of the Bascom Joint Fire District outside Tiffin, said about 30 members of his volunteer department assisted Tiffin firefighters.

Miller noted that fires involving children are among the most difficult for firefighters to handle, especially for those new to the job.

“We had some new EMTs on the scene as well, and it’s very tough on everyone when it involves kids,” Miller said.

“It hits home because we all have kids.”

LeBron’s wedding both posh and private Associated Press

LeBron James wanted his wedding day to be perfect and private.

It appears he got both.

With guests dining on a five-course dinner, prefaced by plenty of appetizers and all done under incredibly tight security, the Miami Heat star married his longtime partner Savannah Brinson on Saturday night at a posh resort in San Diego.

Guests had their phones taken away for the ceremony and reception in an effort to ensure that no photos or details leaked out.

“A first-class affair,” said one of the guests,

who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Sunday because the couple had yet to reveal any details of the event themselves. “Ceremony was short and sweet.”

Many members of the Heat organization were there, including Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, managing general partner Micky Arison and coach Erik Spoelstra. Wade and girlfriend Gabrielle Union posted images of themselves dressed for the occasion on social media, as did Bosh and his wife Adrienne.

Some of James’ longtime friends were also in attendance, including his manager Maverick Carter.

“What a wonderful evening!!” Adrienne Bosh wrote on Twitter.

“Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. James…Thanks for sharing Ur night & love with us” The ceremony was the obvious highlight of a three-day wedding weekend for the couple, who were high school sweethearts and are the parents of two sons. They were engaged just after midnight on Jan. 1, 2012, when James dropped to a knee and surprised his longtime girlfriend by finally popping the question as many of their close friends were gathered around.

James told AP last year that he and Brinson

Recipe Contest

decided not to rush plans for their wedding, especially since last summer was hectic for him basketball-wise — James played for the U.S. in the London Olympics, helping the Americans win a gold medal, and also was involved in the wedding for one of his longtime close friends.

So the date was set for this offseason, and even after a 21-month engagement, very few details leaked out — including why the wedding was taking place in San Diego, especially since the couple still considers Akron, Ohio as home and have essentially been based in Miami for three years now.

Also unclear: If the couple would be using social media to make any statement about the wedding — James has more than 14 million fans on Facebook, and nearly 10 million followers on

Twitter.

The measures to ensure privacy were hardly a surprise. In an interview with AP last spring, Brinson acknowledged that she’s leery of media coverage, since she hasn’t always found it to be fair or factual.

“I’ve heard things about me that are bad, where they’ve literally looked up into the sky and said, ‘What can they say about Savannah?,’” Brinson told AP in April. “It’s going to happen.”

Television stations in San Diego showed aerial images of the hotel, including large tents set up for both the reception and to shroud the arrival of guests. In some cases, umbrellas were even used to protect the identity of wedding-arrivers from prying eyes in the sky, and people who tried to gain access to the hotel just to get a better look were quickly ushered

away and told only that a private event was taking place.

Even some local vendors in the San Diego area thought they had a role in the wedding — though were not themselves actually sure if that was the case. The Village Mill Bread Company — located about 3 miles from the wedding site — told Fox affiliate KSWB that someone ordered 500 loaves of Brioche from them to be delivered Saturday, but would not confirm that they were heading to the James-Brinson nuptials.

James is a four-time NBA Most Valuable Player, and he will be back in Miami later this month to resume preparing for training camp.

James is scheduled to address reporters when the Heat hold their annual media day on Sept. 30, and the first practice of the new season is scheduled for Oct. 1.

Advisory panel on Ohio tourism lacks appointees Ann Sanner

COLUMBUS (AP) — A state advisory panel on tourism is lacking appointments from the governor almost a year after the law that created it took effect.

The law instructs Gov. John Kasich to appoint nine members to the TourismOhio Advisory Board by late November of last year.

The panel of tourism-reliant members will help the state’s development department and its tourism office market Ohio.

The vacancies on the panel were among the issues brought before an Ohio House committee that is reviewing the state’s new tourism marketing program, called TourismOhio.

“Witnesses from numerous trade associations and businesses stressed the importance of having a fully functioning TourismOhio Advisory Board in order to provide guidance to and support the

efforts of the Office of TourismOhio,” said state Rep. Mike Dovilla, the chairman of the House Committee on Policy and Legislative Oversight.

Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said the governor asked the state’s development director in July to help with the appointments, and he’s confident the slots will be filled soon.

“As always with these board picks, it’s far more important to find the right pick than to shoehorn warm bodies into there for the sake of checking a box,” Nichols said.

The governor’s appointees must come from a variety of tourism-related fields, including convention and visitors’ bureaus, special events and festivals, the lodging and restaurant industries, and the state’s attractions. The head of the state’s new tourism office also gets a seat, along with the chief investment officer of the state’s private economic development entity, JobsOhio.

Floods transform Colorado’s ‘Gore-Tex Vortex’

Hanana Dreier and Jeri Clausing Associated Press

LYONS, Colo. (AP) — The cars that normally clog Main Street in Lyons on the way to Rocky Mountain National Park have been replaced by military supply trucks. Shop owners in Estes Park hurriedly cleared their wares in fear that the Big Thompson River will rise again. A plywood sign encouraged residents mucking out their homes to “Hang in there.”

Days of rain and floods have transformed the outdoorsy mountain communities in Colorado’s Rocky Mountain foothills affectionately known “The Gore-Tex Vortex” from a paradise into a disaster area with little in the way of supplies or services — and more rain falling Sunday.

The string of communities from Boulder to Estes Park, the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park, is a base for backpackers and nature lovers where bluecollar and yuppie sensibilities exist side by side. Now, roadways have crumbled, scenic bridges are destroyed, the site of the bluegrass festival is washed out and most shops are closed.

Chris Rodes, one of Lyons’ newest residents, said the change is so drastic that he is considering

Tim Eggert (left) carries a sandbag as Scott Hoffenberg (center) directs him while residents reinforce a berm at University Hill in Boulder, Colo., on Sunday.

The National Weather Service says up to 2 inches of rain could fall Sunday, creating a risk of more flooding and mudslides.

moving away just two weeks after settling there.

“It’s not the same,” Rodes said.

“All these beautiful places, it’s just brown mud.”

Estes Park town administrator Frank Lancaster said visitors who would normally flock there during the golden September days should stay away for at least a month, but it could take a year or longer for

many of the mountain roadways to be repaired.

Meanwhile, people were still trapped, the nearby hamlet of Glen Haven has been “destroyed” and the continuing rain threatened a new round of flooding, he said.

“We are all crossing our fingers and praying” he said.

The residents who remained

or began trickling back — if they were allowed to do so — were left to watch out for one another. Restaurateurs and grocers in Lyons were distributing food to their neighbors as others arrived in groups carrying supplies.

Scott Martin, 25, drove the halfhour from Boulder Saturday to deliver drinking water and gasoline to a friend’s parents. He fled Lyons amid a torrential downpour on Wednesday night after the mountain stream that cuts through town gushed into his basement.

Martin grew up tubing down the river and hiking the mountains, and like many residents, he still jumps in the water after work.

Looking into the cottonwood and aspen trees at the outskirts of town, he wondered when he would be able to do those things again.

“Best case, it’s just mud everywhere; in everyone’s yard and all the streets,” he said.

From the mountain communities east to the plains city of Fort Morgan, numerous pockets of individuals remained cut off by the flooding. Sunday’s rain hampered the helicopter searches, and rescuers trekked by ground up dangerous canyon roads to reach some of those homes isolated since Wednesday.

Bombings kill 13 dead as tropical storm, 58 in Iraq hurricane batter Mexico Sinan Salaheddin

Associated Press

Associated Press

BAGHDAD (AP) — A wave of car bombings and other attacks in Iraq killed at least 58 people in mostly Shiite-majority cities on Sunday, another bloody reminder of the government’s failure to stem the surge of violence that is feeding sectarian tensions.

Iraq is experiencing its deadliest bout of violence since 2008, raising fears the country is returning to a period of widespread killing such as that which pushed it to the brink of civil war following the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. More than 4,000 people have been killed in attacks since the start of April, including 804 just in August, according to United Nations figures.

Sunday’s deadliest attack was in the city of Hillah, 95 kilometers (60 miles) south of Baghdad, where a car bomb near an outdoor market killed nine civilians and wounded 15 others, a police officer said. A few minutes later, another car bomb went off nearby, killing six civilians and wounding 14, he added.

In the nearby town of Iskandariyah, 50 kilometers (30 miles) south of the capital, another car bomb hit a parking lot, killing four civilians and wounding nine, police said.

Another car bomb went off in an industrial area of the Shiite city of Karbala, killing five and wounding 25, a police officer said. Karbala is 80 kilometers (50 miles) south of Baghdad. In the aftermath, security officials inspected burnt-out cars in front of what appeared to be a smashed row of workshops.

In Kut, another Shiite-dominated city 160 kilometers (100 miles) southeast of Baghdad, a car bomb targeted construction workers and food stalls, killing two and wounding 14, another provincial police officer said.

Seven more civilians were killed and 31 others were wounded when four separate car bombs ripped through the towns of Suwayrah and Hafriyah outside Kut, police said.

In Baghdad’s northern Sunni-dominated Azamiyah neighborhood, a car bomb that exploded near the convoy of the head of Baghdad’s provincial council killed three and wounded eight, police say. The council head escaped unharmed.

Two other car bombs hit the southern cities of Basra and Nasiriyah, killing eight civilians and wounding 26, two police officers said. And two more civilians were killed when a bomb hit a police patrol in Baghdad’s Sunni western suburb of Abu Ghraib. Nine other people were wounded.

ACAPULCO, Mexico (AP) — Tropical Storm Manuel edged onto Mexico’s Pacific coast Sunday while Hurricane Ingrid swirled offshore on the other side of the country, as heavy rains and landslides caused at least 13 deaths and led authorities to evacuate thousands.

Stormy conditions led some communities in affected states to cancel Independence Day celebrations planned for Sunday and Monday.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Manuel began to weaken as soon as it made landfall near the port of Manzanillo during the afternoon, but remained a threat to produce flash floods and mudslides. It was predicted to dissipate by Monday.

In the southern coastal state of Guerrero, six people died when their SUV lost control on a rain-swept highway headed for the tourist resort of Acapulco.

Landslides killed two people in Guerrero, and the collapse of a fence killed one person in Acapulco.

Manuel had maximum sustained winds of about 45 mph (75 kph) and was moving to the northwest at 9 mph (15 kph) late Sunday afternoon. Its center

was about 15 miles (20 kilometers) north of Manzanillo.

Rains from Ingrid caused landslides that killed three people in the central state of Puebla, and a woman died when a landslide buried her house in Hidalgo state.

The hurricane center said Ingrid, the second hurricane of the Atlantic storm season, could reach the Mexican mainland early Monday after gathering strength over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. It was packing top sustained winds of 85 mph (140 kph) as it slowly crawled toward land with little change in strength in hours.

Manuel was expected to dump 10 to 15 inches of rain over parts of Guerrero and Michoacan state, with maximums of 25 inches possible in some isolated areas. Authorities said those rains would present an especially dangerous threat in mountains, where flash floods and mudslides were possible.

Ingrid also was expected to dump very heavy rains. It had maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph) and was centered about 110 miles (175 kilometers) east-northwest of the port city of Tampico as it moved west-northwest at 6

mph (9 kph). A hurricane warning was in effect from Cabo Rojo to La Pesca.

In Tamaulipas state to the north, where Ingrid was expected to come ashore, the government said in a statement that Independence Day festivities were cancelled in the cities of Tampico, Madero and Altamira. The Sept.

15 and 16 celebrations commemorate Mexico’s battle of independence from Spain.

Officials in the Gulf state of Veracruz began evacuating coastal residents Friday night, and civil protection authorities said that more than 6,600 people had been moved to shelters or the homes of family and friends.

More than 1,000 homes in Veracruz state had been affected by the storm to varying degrees, and 20 highways and 12 bridges had damage, the state’s civil protection authority said. A bridge collapsed near the northern Veracruz city of Misantla on Friday, cutting off the area from the state capital, Xalapa.

A week ago, 13 people died in the state when a landslide buried their homes in heavy rains spawned by Tropical Depression Fernand.

Alabama church marks 50th anniversary of bombing Jay Reeves

Associated Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Hundreds of people black and white, many holding hands, filled an Alabama church that was bombed by the Ku Klux Klan 50 years ago Sunday to mark the anniversary of the blast that killed four little girls and became a landmark moment in the civil rights struggle.

The Rev. Arthur Price taught the same Sunday school lesson that members of 16th Street Baptist Church heard the morning of the bombing — “A Love That Forgives.” Then, the rusty old church bell was tolled four times as the girls’ names were read.

Bombing survivor Sarah Collins Rudolph, who lost her right eye and sister Addie Mae Collins in the blast, stood by as members laid a wreath at the spot where the dynamite device was placed along an outside wall.

Rudolph was 12 at the time, and her family left the church after the bombing. She said it was important to return in memory of her sister, who was

14, and the three other girls who died: Carole Robertson and Cynthia Wesley Morris, both 14, and Denise McNair, 11.

“God spared me to live and tell just what happened on that day,” said Rudolph, who testified against the Klansmen convicted years later in the bombing.

Congregation members and visitors sang the old hymn “Love Lifted Me” and joined hands in prayer. The somber Sunday school lesson was followed by a raucous, packed worship service with gospel music and believers waving their hands.

During the sermon, the Rev. Julius Scruggs of Huntsville, president of the National Baptist Convention USA, said, “God said you may murder four little girls, but you won’t murder the dream of justice and liberty for all.”

The congregation gathered outside the church for the wreath laying ceremony at the spot where a bomb was detonated 50 years ago by the Ku Klux Klan, killing four young girls. The Rev. Jesse Jackson is fourth from left. U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Ala., is second from left.

Lee, who made a documentary about the bombing.

The church was full, with the only surviving mother of one of the girls, Maxine McNair, sitting in the front row.

Holder called the girls’ deaths “a seminal and tragic moment” in U.S. history and recalled gains that followed their killings like the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. Alluding to the Supreme

Court decision this year that struck down a key part of the voting law, Holder said the struggle continues decades later.

“This a fight that we will continue,” Holder said.

The dynamite bomb went off outside the church Sept. 15, 1963. Of the Klansmen convicted years later, one remains imprisoned. Two others died in prison.

Tuesday Morning

Dear Readers: Here is this week’s Sound Off, about spitting in public: “When I was young, there were public signs saying not to expectorate in public. We used to think the signs were funny, because we thought no one would be vulgar enough to spit in public. Now I frequently see people casually spitting as they’re walking around. Isn’t it still against the law to spit in public places? Is public spitting socially acceptable? Is there any way to

discourage what seems to be a growing trend? — A Concerned Reader, via email” Yuck! There are laws (in some cities) still on the books about spitting in public from long ago.

The face of drug use in Shelby County

Addicts share their stories Patricia Ann Speelman pspeelman@civitasmedia.com

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

Wednesday chronicled programs of a local, faith-based organization, Samaritan Works Inc. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s article features stories of recovered addicts.

Samaritan Works Inc. (SWI) in Sidney operates programs to help addicts master their addictions.

Participants live in either Serenity House for men or Amelia House for women while they are in the programs. Mike Martin, recovery pastor at Sidney First United Methodist Church, is the executive director of SWI. He, himself, is a recovered addict, as is SWI Assistant Director Celesia Vargas.

Aaron Lawson, of Sidney, and Lisa Hicks, of Troy, are two of many people who have completed SWI programs.

Lawson graduated Sept.

6; Hicks, in May. All four shared their stories recently with the Sidney Daily News. Their success at overcoming addiction now inspires others who are waging battles of their own.

Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story â&#x20AC;&#x153;My parents actually tried to get me to go to Serenity House (when I was a teenager),â&#x20AC;? he said.

Alcohol was his â&#x20AC;&#x153;drug of choice.

Cocaine in the last few years.

I used Martin cocaine so I could drink longer and harder,â&#x20AC;? he said. He racked up four driving-under-theinfluence violations.

up in Anna and lived in Mnster, Fort Loramie and Newport. He moved to Sidney in 1997. But 1996 was the seminal year in his recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was spiritually lost.

The darkness that I sat in was what I saw all the time,â&#x20AC;? he said. He was employed by EMI Corp. and woke up on a Monday following a Thanksgiving drinking bash in Windsor, Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was cursing God, broke and miserable,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the middle of work, God started to speak to me. For a moment, I thought I was insane. I was going to cry. On the way home, on (Ohio) 119, God said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you follow me?

What are you doing?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Martin said his parents had been praying for him for years. When he went home to tell them about his epiphany, his mother smelled his breath to see if he were drunk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to talk to Ben Davis,â&#x20AC;? a pastor at the First Church of God. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He mentored me. He knew how to minister to me, to hold me accountable, how to love me,â&#x20AC;? Martin said.

Alcoholics Anonymous meetings followed and then Martin completed courses offered by the First Church of God in Anderson, Ind. He earned an associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in social work from Edison Community College. He is enrolled now in United Theological Seminary and in Bluffton University, where he plans to complete bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degrees for licensure as an independent social worker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the day, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still Christ and my relationship with him that matters most,â&#x20AC;? Martin said.

didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get into a program, she would walk away and she would never see me again. I knew she meant it.â&#x20AC;?

Sylvia Hall, a pastor in Jackson Center, mentored Vargas through her recovery. She has been clean for seven years.

An Edison Community College graduate, she is enrolled in University of Cincinnati to earn a Bachelor of Arts in substance abuse counseling.

Hicksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story Hicks, 35, of Troy, was addicted to opiates: Vicodin, Percocet, Oxycontin, heroin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a late bloomer. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start until a month a f t e r my 30th birthday,â&#x20AC;? she said. The d r u g s she took were prescribed for mediHicks cal issues s t e m ming from a coma and tracheotomy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the same time, I had relationship issues.

I realized this was not just taking away physical pain but also mental pain.

Since it was prescribed, (I thought abusing the drugs) was OK.â&#x20AC;?

She couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop, though, when her doctor began to take her off the medication. She began to buy pain pills on the street. Her husband suggested that she buy heroin instead, because it was cheaper. After nine months of heroin use, she went through a detoxification, but immediately returned to pain medication use, including large quantities of morphine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a little girl. She was 5 then. In July 2012, I kind of got to staring at

Vargasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started using meth when I was 19,â&#x20AC;? said the Sidney H i g h School graduate.

She spent f o u r y e a r s in the U.S. Air Force, Vargas married, lived for eight years in New York City while working for Price Waterhouse, all while feeding her drug habit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I functioned every day,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would take meth during the day and Xanax at night to sleep.â&#x20AC;? The drugs gave her energy, she thought; they kept her thin.

Divorced, she returned to Ohio until her daughter graduated from high school in 2001 and then moved to Clearwater, Fla. It was in Florida that she â&#x20AC;&#x153;got into serious, serious trouble,â&#x20AC;? working for a man who supplied her with drugs and alcohol â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;lots of it,â&#x20AC;? she said â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in exchange for her help in laundering money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew it was wrong to do it, but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter,â&#x20AC;? Vargas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would cash checks he would write so he could hide money.â&#x20AC;?

It was after she had moved back to Ohio that Florida officials caught up with her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Florida came and got me,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a felony. I was scared to death. Fraud. Conspiracy to commit fraud.â&#x20AC;?

She was jailed for nine weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I was very, very scared,â&#x20AC;? Vargas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I pled guilty. I was able to be put on probation and transferred back to Ohio.

My daughter told me if I

and Dillion Cornett, both of Sidney, have announced the birth of a son, Colton Michael Dean Cornett, born Aug. 28, 2013, at 8:07 p.m. in the Copeland-Emerson Family Birth Center at Wilson Memorial Hospital.

He weighed 7 pounds, 11 ounces, and was 20 inches long.

His maternal grandparents are Tanya Roe and Preston Wilson, both of Sidney. His paternal grandparents are Tommy Bishop and Terry Cornett, both of Sidney.

His great-grandparents are Sandy and Lonnie Roe, Judith Wilson, and Mary and Jean Cornett, all of

her and thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the life I planned for her.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to raise her that way.â&#x20AC;?

With her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help, she went through another detoxification in Dayton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had met Celesia and she had said if I ever needed help to call her.

So I called and (Amelia House) had an opening,â&#x20AC;?

Hicks said.

She entered the program in September 2012 and graduated in May. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had great support from family and friends.â&#x20AC;?

Now she is employed by a nonprofit agency, where she provides â&#x20AC;&#x153;hope and inspiration for people who are in my situation,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My relationship with my daughter is awesome.

I can remember everything we do. She doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go without her mom. And my relationship with my mom is on a whole different level. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t argue. We can communicate. The sadness isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there.â&#x20AC;?

Lawsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story Lawson, 26, was diagnosed with Aspergerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Syndrome when he was a child. He said he was asked to leave high school at 16 when school officials told his mother â&#x20AC;&#x153;they might as well sign me out,â&#x20AC;? two years after he started drinkLawson ing alcohol and smoking marijuana. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being a teenager, I was trying to have fun at first,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the years progressed, it became addicting.â&#x20AC;?

He has spent most of his adult years in and out of jails and pris-

ons, sentenced for selling drugs and stealing, offenses related to his habit. Following his expulsion from a halfway house after being jailed in another county last year, he was referred to SWI in January by his counselor.

He entered the program on March 11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is my last chance,â&#x20AC;? he told himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I go out there again, there ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t no turning back. So I have to go to meetings and stay clean.â&#x20AC;?

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy to stick to it for six months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To get along, you have to go along,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At first, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Man, I got to do THIS?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But then you get used to it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good program as long as you work it. It ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy.

But if I can do it, anybody can do it.â&#x20AC;?

Now a graduate, he looks forward to getting his own place to live and to returning as a volunteer to help at Serenity House. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My family supports me,â&#x20AC;? Lawson said. His mother, stepfather and grandfather live in Sidney. His brother and sisters live in Piqua. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see them a lot,â&#x20AC;? he said. They are justifiably proud. His probation officer, he said, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect him to graduate. And Lawson, himself, said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living â&#x20AC;&#x153;just for today.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about six months from now or a year from now. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to make any promises. I can do it just for today. Just for today.â&#x20AC;?

Once your grassed waterway is installed it is important to maintain it in order for it to do its job.

CRP Programs The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) has cost share dollars and a one-time incentive payment for installing grassed waterways. The program is as good as it has ever been. Because it is a water quality issue, federal dollars are available through the Farm Service Agency to assist landowners with the cost of construction. Currently, a certain percentage of the cost of installation is reimbursable to the landowner. Another percentage of the installation cost will be rewarded to the landowner as

in incentive payment. In addition, landowners are eligible to receive rental payments on the area seeded for a period of ten years, which is the life expectancy of the sod waterway. The minimum eligibility requirements for a sod waterway include: 1. Site must be in cropland four out of six years from 2002 – 2007 2. Must have an erosion concern 3. Must have adequate outlets for the surface and subsurface drainage If you have an eroded area (gully), contact the office to setup a site visit. The SWCD personnel will determine if the site is eligible and explain the program to you. One extremely crucial factor is that waterways take several months from start to

finish, so contact us in advance.

If you are interested in learning more about sod waterways or any other conservation program, please call the Shelby SWCD at 492 – 6520. For program details, eligibility and cost share rates contact FSA at 492 – 6520, ext. 100.

Thank you to all who have thought about and implemented conservation measures on the land. Conservation efforts would not be where they are at the present day without the people right here in Shelby County willingly signing up for these programs. This shows devotion and a desire for continued water quality for a cleaner tomorrow.

Pair named to OFBF committee Two local residents have been named to the Ohio Farm Bureau’s Policy Development Committee.

Ellen Joslin, of Sidney, and Aaron Heilers, of Anna, are both serving on the 2013 committee.

The committee collects and organizes policy recommendations from county Farm Bureaus and presents the final policy suggestions to be voted on by OFBF’s delegate body at the annual meeting in December.

The committee’s first meeting allowed members to hear background and participate in discussions about several priority issues.

Top items on the agenda included nutrients and water quality, state and local tax policy, wildlife issues, developments at Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and priority issues at the Ohio Department of Agriculture.

The committee is made up of 12 members of OFBF’s state board of trustees plus 10 representatives of county Farm Bureaus. Ohio Farm Bureau is the state’s most inclusive farm organization. Its mission is to forge a partnership between farmers and consumers.

COLUMBUS – From tractors and heavy machinery to long working hours and isolated working environments, agriculture can be among the most dangerous industries to work in, according to safety experts from Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences.

While farming is a rewarding, challenging career, it is also among the most deadly to work in for farm families in Ohio, which averages 24 farm-related fatalities statewide each year, said Dee Jepsen, state safety leader for Ohio State University Extension. OSU Extension is the outreach arm of the college.

In fact, over the past 10 years, there have been 229 farm-related deaths in Ohio, many of which (95 deaths) involved tractors or heavy machinery, Jepsen said.

“Some 41 percent of the farm-related deaths in Ohio over the past 10 years involved tractors, with tractor roll-overs among the leading cause of tractorrelated farm deaths,” she said. “Having a roll bar and seatbelts installed and both used each time a tractor is driven could likely have prevented some of these fatalities.

“Another safety measure that could lessen the

potential for tractor-related deaths or injuries includes the concept of one-seat, one-rider, which would prevent incidents where extra riders fall off the tractor as its being driven and are rolled over by the tractor.”

Jepsen said one of the reasons why tractors pose such a widespread threat to farm families is because they are used by a majority of farmers.

“Every farm has at least one tractor — regardless of the crops planted or the size of the farm operations,” she said. “Farm machinery with moving or self-propelled parts is the No. 2 cause of injuries and fatalities statewide.

“That’s why it’s so important that we spread the word on getting the proper training to work around farm equipment and how working with properlyguarded equipment could potentially lessen the problem and save lives.”

These figures are especially important during harvest season, as farmers are putting in long hours under the stress of weather delays, equipment breakdowns, and high operating costs, said Kathy Mann, program coordinator of the college’s agriculture safety program.

To that end, members of the college’s agriculture

safety team are promoting National Farm Safety Week Sept. 15-21 to publicize programs and other resources available to help protect farm families and workers from farm-related injuries and deaths.

The week-long communication efforts, Mann said, include daily promotions via social media of the following safety-related topics: • GRAIN Community Agricultural Rescue Trailer (C.A.R.T.) –Ohio’s first Grain Rescue Simulator trailer, which was designed by CFAES students and is used to train first responders, grain industry employees and farm families about the hazards of flowing grain. http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=M94zpPBmXZ4.

• Tractor Safety: Does your tractor have a ROPS? Research shows that, when used together, roll bars and seatbelts are 99 percent effective in preventing tractor-related injuries and deaths. More information on this topic can be found athttp://ohioline.osu.edu/aex-fact/192/ pdf/0192_1_56.pdf.

• Partnering for Safety: The OSU Extension Agriculture Safety and Health program works with various partners to spread agricultural safety mes-

sages statewide in Ohio. http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=eEj1eDEdZsA. • Sharing Ohio’s Roads: Cars, tractors, buggies, horses, bikes, and wagons share Ohio’s roadways.

Each year approximately 104 crashes between motor vehicles and horsedrawn vehicles occur.

Check out these recommendations for both the motorists and horsedrawn vehicle drivers at http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=5b7HuinLPQM. • Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) signs: For 50 years, this well-known Ohio Statedesigned emblem has been mounted on the back of agricultural equipment and horse-drawn vehicles in order to warn the public of a slow-moving vehicle. Find out more at http://agsafety. osu.edu/smv-emblem.

• ATV Safety: Ohio ranks No. 15 nationwide for allterrain vehicle relatedfatalities. Test your ATV safety knowledge by playing Tread-Sylvania, a Webbased interactive game designed by New Mexico State University:http:// treadsylvania.com/.

The education and communication efforts of Farm Safety Week, Jepsen said, are to ensure the safety and well-being of hardworking farm families.

Meeting to discuss Ohio dog laws COLUMBUS — Ohio Farm Bureau Federation (OFBF) members are invited to attend a comprehensive discussion of Ohio’s dog laws and an update on commercial dog breeding laws and regulations. The online event takes place Oct. 3 from 7 to 8 p.m.

The members-only session is free, but registration is required.

To sign up, visit ofb.ag/ofbfwebevents. Registrants may submit questions, which will be answered

A learning experience at Fall Harvest Festival

There were many activities for visitors at the Fall Harvest Festival at Lake Loramie State Park Saturday and Sunday. Carol Huecker (left photo, left), talks with Lisa Ellis, both of Minster, about how Ellis spins fleece taken from her six alpacas into yarn which she then knits into various forms of clothing apparel. Ellis was at the festival Saturday selling her knit objects.

to the store. Once she is in the store, using a grocery cart is enough to support her. But it takes hours for her to shop then she is worn out and complaining about hurting feet, legs, etc. I’ve suggested the electric carts, but she won’t use them because she “does not know how to.” She could be taught. So, as her daughter, what is my prime responsibility? To help her shop so it takes her less time, even though she enjoys the outing? The complaints get worse and worse as time goes on. Is it better for her to walk or use the cart?

Should her doctor recommend using the cart? She does enjoy the outing and needs the cognitive stimulation. —N.L.B. ANSWER: I have mixed emotions about this. On the one hand, you want to make things easier for her; on the other, she clearly has her own mind about it. From a medical perspective, more exercise (not using the motorized cart) is probably better for her.

At some point, your

mother will decide when it’s too much. If the choice ever becomes using an electric cart for outings versus not going on outings, then I would recommend the cart.

Until then, as long as she is safe (not in danger of falling), I would let her decide how she wants to go out and shop with you.

As I often do, let me once again recommend regular exercise, supervised by the physical therapist her assisted-living facility is sure to have, as a way of improving her functioning and reducing her fall risk.

And let me commend you for being there to help her.

DEAR ABBY: I am an asexual college student with a question about dating.

because I don’t feel the need to talk about it — but I’m not ashamed of it, either.

What do you think? — NEW ENGLAND “ACE” DEAR ACE: I see no reason to announce it at a first meeting because it’s nobody’s business. The time to tell someone you are asexual is after you have gotten to know the person well enough to be comfortable sharing information.

In case you don’t realize it, you are not the only asexual person out there. Because there’s so much emphasis on sex and sexual orientation in our society, it might help you to know that an organization exists which enables asexuals to connect with each other. It’s the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN), and you can find it on the Internet at asexuality.org.

100 years Sept. 16, 1913 A temporary restraining order has been granted Dr. C.B. Orbison against the Sidney Electric Light Co. to prevent the company from digging, enlarging, widening and deepening the race east of Sidney near his property. He maintains that if the company is permitted to dig and widen the race, which runs for 600 feet along his property, a certain amount of dirt will slide down from his property damaging it and make it dangerous for pasturing and other uses.

––––– The tax valuation of The Sidney Electric Light Co. plant has been reduced by the State Tax Commission form $70,000 in 1912 to $50,000 for the year 1913. The Sidney company is one of the very few in the state where the tax valuation was lowered, most others receiving increases.

––––– Jo h n D. H .

Baker, of Sidney, was named vice president, when the members of the Ohio Rural Letter Carriers association of the Fourth congressional district held their annual meeting last evening in the Kiwanis dining room of the Ohio building. The wives of the members were guests. The musical portion of the program included several piano duets by the Foote sisters, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Foote of Anna.

Short talks were given

by W.B. Swonger and E.C. Amos, of Sidney, with the program closing with moving pictures taken

by H.A. Amos, on a recent trip to India, Iraq and Europe.

––––– Louis Kah, long prominent in the business and civic life of Sidney, today celebrated his 83rd birthday in the family home on Court street. Mr. Kah is vice president of the First Federal Savings and Loan Association.

50 years Sept. 16, 1963 LOCKINGTON

– Dale Adams is the new chief of the Lockington village fire department.

The appointment was made at a meeting Monday night of the Lockington Fire Association. Adams will succeed Herbert Middy, who has been serving as acting chief following the resignation earlier this year of Robert Pence. In the re-organization, Ed Schilling and Edward Mummaw Jr., were named assistant chiefs and Bernard Allen and Junior Gilmore, lieutenants.

For Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Conversations with friends and partners will be lively today because you have something you want to say. Be prepared for a vigorous response from others. (They have something to say as well!)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is an excellent day for all kinds of mental work. You have mental energy, and you won't overlook details.

You want things to be as perfect as possible.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A playful day! Don't hesitate to express your ideas to others, especially creative ideas. You'll also enjoy pranks, jokes and playful times with children.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is good day to tackle home repairs. It's also an excellent day for important family discussions. You'll find it easy to voice your innermost thoughts.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You're enthusiastic and energetic about something today, which means this is a great day for those of you who sell, market, teach, act or need to convince others. You're persuasive!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Listen to your own moneymaking ideas today because they might be worthwhile. Financial discussions with others will be vigorous and possibly competitive.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You have a strong need to express yourself today. Don't be surprised if your mind quickly jumps from issue to issue. You also will want to get out and travel.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Research and search for solutions or answers will go well today because you have a deep, probing mind. You're also excited and hopeful to discover something new.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Conversations with younger people, especially in groups, will delight you today. The banter of ideas back and forth could be competitive, but it will be fun and enjoyable.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) People in authority will be impressed with your clearly expressed ideas today. You're not afraid to speak up and be heard, because you have confidence in what your ideas.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a great day to travel somewhere or make travel plans. You will particularly enjoy talking to people from other countries and different backgrounds.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Roll up your sleeves and get busy clearing up red-tape details connected with inheritances, insurance matters, taxes and debt. You can get a lot done!

YOU BORN TODAY You succeed because you are persevering and persistent. Obstacles or delays do not deter you. You are unstoppable.

You're also physically tough, logical and practical. People know you're reliable and that you get the job done.

(In addition, you have a quirky sense of humor.) This year a major change might take place, perhaps something as significant as what occurred around 2004.

Flooding brings tales of rescues, improvisation Hannah Dreier, Jeri Clausing and P. Solomon Banda Associated Press

ESTES PARK, Colo. (AP) — As people came down from the flooded foothills of the Colorado Rockies, they brought tales of dramatic rescues, heartbreaking loss and neighbors coming together to protect their families and homes. Here are a few of their stories: Cat saves families Jezebel the cat jumped on a sleeping Jon Johnson, batted his face and yowled until he woke up to find the Big Thompson River spilling into the cottages he and his wife Deyn rented to Estes Park visitors.

They ran from cottage to cottage, knocking on doors and shouting to the sleeping occupants, “Purse!

Keys! Medicine! Go!” The water rose from Deyn Johnson’s shin to her knee in less than a minute. Everybody was safely evacuated before the river swept three of the cottages away and knocked three more on their sides.

She lamented the loss of the Whispering Pines cottages, which they have run since 1993, but praised Jezebel for her swift action.

“We had no warning other than the cat,” Johnson said. “She is going to be treated like a queen for the rest of her life.”

Unexpected zip-line tour Jerry Grove and Dorothy ScottGrove’s vacation plans did not include this zip-line tour.

Rescue crews evacuated the Cincinnati couple from their cabin in Glen Haven the only way they could — clinging to a wire line strung up over raging floodwaters.

The couple abandoned their car

and most of their luggage, bringing only what they could carry in a backpack.

After the husband and wife crossed the water, rescuers then carried their two golden retrievers — 85 pounds and 60 pounds — across on the zip line.

On Sunday, they were figuring out how to get back to Ohio with no near-term hopes of retrieving their car. One option was to ask their son to drive over from Cincinnati.

“We figure six months to a year to get our car back — and it’s a new car,” Scott-Grove said.

River bisects town Emma Hardy’s husband woke her up Wednesday night to say a well-loved neighbor had been killed by a mudslide that crushed his Jamestown home. From that point on, the 46-year-old artist and her family were in constant motion, knocking on doors and trying to get people out.

But within hours, a new, impassable river formed and bisected the town.

“It was totally biblical,” Hardy said. “And then it just started getting worse and worse.”

They watched a 10-foot-high culvert smash their deck. By the time the rain slowed, the house was in the water, but, Hardy made sure to point out, “still standing.”

A rental property Hardy owned was completely washed away.

“It’s the river’s house now,” a neighbor observed outside an evacuation drop-off point at a high school.

Like many Jamestown residents, Hardy said she did not begin to process the scale of the disaster until she was flying away from the town.

“When you’re bailing out buckets

of water, you’re not really thinking about anything. Now it’s starting to sink in,” she said.

Creek washes away well The creek outside Terry Kishiyama’s home just outside Lyons washed away the family’s drinking well and much of their land.

“The river was just getting higher and higher to the point where we thought we were going to die,” he said after walking off a school bus of evacuees. “You couldn’t even talk because it was so loud.”

Kishiyama, his wife, 5-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter hiked to a neighbor’s house on higher ground. They shared a single toothbrush as they waited several days for rescue. Helicopters flew by in the distance, though none came near their location until Saturday morning.

Then, a military helicopter appeared across the river.

Kishiyama’s son whipped off his orange T-shirt and waved it over his head.

His wife shouted, “We have babies!”

Kishiyama made eye contact with the pilot. Finally, he knew they would be safe.

Students help save homes Residents along Gregory Creek near Boulder joined with students from the nearby University of Colorado in a frantic effort to save homes.

They raided each other’s yards for flagstones, filled garbage bags with sand and used whatever else they could to make berms and divert the water away from the houses. Along the alley, which had turned into a fast-moving river, they strung a rope so they could safely maneuver.

From page 1

‘What do you like best about fall, which begins Sept. 22?’

government of using poison gas against rebel-held suburbs of Damascus on Aug. 21, killing more than 1,400 people. Other death toll estimates are far lower. Syria denies the allegations and blames the rebels.

The suspected chemical attack raised the prospect of U.S.-led military action against Syria that the rebels hoped would tip the civil war in their favor. But as the strikes appeared imminent, the Parliament of key U.S. ally Britain voted against military action and Obama decided to ask Congress for authorization first, delaying an armed response.

Russia then floated the idea of Syria relinquishing its chemical arsenal to avert Western strikes, and the Assad regime quickly agreed. On Saturday, Moscow and Washington struck a framework agreement to secure and destroy Syria’s chemical stockpile.

For Syria’s opposition, the deal is disappointing in many ways. It defers any U.S. action for the foreseeable future and does nothing to address the broader civil war or the use of conventional weapons, which have been responsible for the vast majority of the more than 100,000 deaths in the conflict.

With that in mind, the main Western-backed Syrian opposition group called Sunday for a ban on the use of ballistic missiles and air power by Assad’s forces in addition to the prohibition on chemical weapons.

“Chemical weapons attacks are a part of a bigger scheme of crimes against humanity committed by the Assad regime, including using the Syrian air forces and ballistic missiles on residential areas,” the Syrian National Coalition said on its official website. “The Syrian Coalition insists that the prohibition of the use of chemical weapons, which killed more than 1,400 Syrian civilians, be extended to include the prohibition of the use of air forces and ballistic missiles on residential areas.”

While a ban on air power and ballistic missiles would likely curb the bloodshed in some areas, it’s unclear how such a measure would

be imposed or enforced.

The Syrian government is highly unlikely to unilaterally relinquish such weapons, while Western powers have shown little appetite for setting up a no-fly zone in the country, a costly and potentially dangerous endeavor.

Obama, speaking in a TV interview taped before Saturday’s announcement of the chemical weapons deal, said Russian President Vladimir Putin is “protecting” Assad and doesn’t share American “values” in Syria.

“He has a different attitude about the Assad regime,” Obama told ABC’s “This Week.”

“But what I’ve also said to him directly is that we both have an interest in preventing chaos, we both have an interest in preventing terrorism. The situation in Syria right now is untenable. As long as Mr. Assad’s in power, there is going be some sort of conflict there.”

The U.S.-Russian agreement has won broad backing around the world, including from China, which is a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council.

France also welcomed the deal, but French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius cautioned during a visit Sunday in Beijing that it was only the “first stage.”

In Cairo, the Arab League also supported the agreement.

“All parties are capable and influential enough to do their part in the U.N. Security Council to ensure a comprehensive cease-fire in Syria … and to move toward negotiations in Geneva to achieve a peaceful settlement to the Syrian crisis,” Secretary-General Nabil Elaraby said in a statement.

The deal was greeted with cautious optimism in Israel, where leaders expressed satisfaction that Syria, a bitter enemy, could be stripped of dangerous weapons but also pessimism about whether Assad will comply.

Standing next to Kerry in Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stressed his belief that the Geneva agreement would have deep repercussions for Iran, Syria’s close ally.

OSU offense rolls without stars

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Powerful runs through the defense, deep passes down the field and playmakers excelling with the ball in space.

That is just the type of offense coach Urban Meyer has wanted since arriving at Ohio State last season. The fact that the Buckeyes did it without injured quarterback Braxton Miller and suspended running back Carlos Hyde was even more impressive.

Fifth-year senior Kenny Guiton threw four touchdown passes in his first career start and Jordan Hall established career highs with 168 yards rushing and three touchdowns in the fourth-ranked Buckeyes 52-34 victory over California on Saturday.

“That was fun to watch,” Meyer said. “The thing you had is you had some guys making plays down the field. We couldn’t have done this a year ago.”

Ohio State (3-0) gained 608 yards of offense in its most prolific performance in three years and had remarkable balance with Guiton throwing for 276 yards and Hall leading a rushing attack that gained 332.

This marked just the third time in the last 17 seasons that Ohio State topped 275 yards on the ground and in the air in the same game. The Buckeyes did it by running a fast-paced,

no-huddle offense for much of the game that kept Cal’s overmatched defense on its toes.

“That’s who we want to be, a very up-tempo team,” Meyer said.

It’s a big difference from the offense a year ago when the Buckeyes went 12-0 with Miller shouldering most of the load.

He led the team in rushing with 1,271 yards, threw for 2,039 yards more and accounted for 28 touchdowns.

Now the Buckeyes have a dangerous backfield led by Hall and speedy freshman Dontre Wilson and strong receiving threats in Devin Smith and Corey Brown.

“Last year our breakaway talent was only No. 5 (Miller),” Meyer said. “Now there’s some other guys who have a little bit of break away and (Wilson) is the one guy off the top of my head. Jordan did a nice job. To have a horizontal threat in this offense other than your quarterback is a must.”

Smith had three catches for 149 yards, including a 90-yard touchdown on Ohio State’s second play to set a school record for the longest play from scrimmage and a 47-yard score.

Brown added five catches for 35 yards and one touchdown.

Wilson added another element of speed with 107 yards on eight offensive touches.

“I see myself as a big-time

playmaker as a game-changer,” Wilson said. “Every time I get in I tell myself that. Without having Braxton, we lose the treat of running by the QB. They bring me in to stretch it out and just make a big play when the time is needed. Every time I get the ball I’m trying to show the coached what I can do.”

The Buckeyes offense could be even tougher next week against Florida A&M in a final tuneup before a tough opening stretch of the Big Ten season against No. 24 Wisconsin and No. 18 Northwestern the following two weeks.

Miller sat out the Cal game with a sprained left knee sustained in the first quarter the previous week against San Diego State but is expected back soon. Although Meyer said Guiton earned himself playing time by going 21 for 32 and running for 92 yards.

Hyde, who ran for 970 yards and 16 touchdowns last season, was suspended for the first three games of the season after his name came up in an alleged assault against a female at a Columbus bar in July.

“There’s a lot of weapons you have to worry about and getting Carlos back just adds to the mixture,” Guiton said.

“I can’t wait to see him go this week.”

Lady Cavs beat No. 2-ranked Summit Lehman has been having an excellent season so far in high school girls soccer, but has not yet shown up in the state rankings.

Maybe that was extra motivation Saturday when the No. 2-ranked team in the state in Division III, Cincinnati Summit Country Day, came to town on Saturday afternoon.

The Lady Cavs scored just a minute into the game, took a 2-0 lead in the second half, then held on for a 2-1 win to remain unbeaten on the year at 6-0-1. Summit falls to 5-2.

“Our defense played so well,” said Lehman coach Tony Schroeder. “Jordi Emrick, Carly Baird, McKenna Guillozet and Hannah Fogt, they frustrated them quite a bit.

And the speed of our forwards I think surprised them. Taylor Lachey had a good game using her speed.”

One minute into the game, Ashley Keller made a big play. Summit was passing the ball back to its goalie when Keller chased it down and got it to Sara Fuller, who knocked it in for a quick 1-0 lead.

Then with 10 minutes gone in the second half, Fuller passed to Lachey, who hit it along the ground to the far left post for a 2-0 lead.

After that, the Lady Cavs went into defensive mode.

“They made a formation change with about 15 minutes to go and went into attacking

mode,” said Schroeder of Summit. “They got a long shot that went just over the fingers of Grace Frantz (goalie) to make it 2-1, so then we made a formation change and spent most of the time at our end of the field. We felt we had to counter their attack mode.”

Lehman was outshot in the second half because of it, 8-3, but Frantz was up to the challenge, finishing with 10 saves in the game.

Lehman has a busy week ahead, hosting Bethel tonight, then traveling to Springfield Catholic Thursday and Cincinnati Madeira on Saturday.

The Lehman junior varsity won 1-0 with Katie Edwards scoring the goal off an assist by Kaitrin O’Leary.

Sidney, Celina tie Sidney and Celina battled to a 2-2 tie in high school girls soccer action Saturday at the high

school, leaving the Lady Jackets 4-3-1.

Sidney took an early lead, scoring just two minutes into the game on a corner kick from Adrianne Miller to Kaitlyn Davis. The second goal came on a cross from Ashley Egan to Taylor Busse for a 2-0 lead, but that would be the end of the scoring for the locals.

Celina scored with 32 minutes left in the game, then tied it halfway

through the final period.

“I thought this was the first time all season we’ve truly shown our varsity inexperience,” said Sidney coach Stacey Goffena. “We sat on the lead and did not play how we needed to play to preserve the win. I’m disappointed in our second-half effort.”

Sidney’s leading scorer Morgan Knasel went out of the game with an injury. “Without Morgan up top, our offense is nearly

non-existent. We’re going to have to find someone who can step up and help us offensively.”

Sidney hosts Piqua Wednesday in division play.

Anna blanks Trail Anna upped its record on the year to 4-3-1 with a 3-0 blanking of National Trail in girls soccer action Saturday.

Anna scored with 16:34 left in the first half when Brittany Axe tallied a goal off an assist from Raquel Bollheimer.

With 33:20 left in the game, Holly Boyd scored an unassisted goal, and Alexis Phillips got the final goal 10 minutes later.

Hannah Aufderhaar had six saves for the Lady Rockets, who had 28 shots on goal to 10 for the Lady Blazers.

BOYS LHS boys tie Ottoville The Lehman boys soccer team played an undefeated Ottoville Big Green to a 0-0 tie Saturday morning.

The Cavaliers were down two players because of injury but had several others step up. “We had our chances,” Lehman coach Tom Thornton said.

“I thought we had some kids step up that needed to because of our injuries.

But it comes down to the same thing this year. We need to finish when we get the shots.”

The Cavaliers outshot the Big Green 10-8 for the game.

The tie gives Lehman a 4-2-1 record. Ottoville is 8-0-1.
