INSIDE TODAY

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve isn’t yet convinced that the U.S. economy is healthy enough for the Fed to ease its stimulus even slightly. The Fed’s cautious message Wednesday surprised — and pleased — investors, who had expected a slight cut in the Fed’s $85 billion in monthly bond purchases. Wall Street celebrated the prospect of continued low interest rates by sending stocks surging to a record high. In a statement after a policy meeting, the Fed said it has no set timetable for reducing its stimulus. It all depends how the economy fares. Chairman Ben Bernanke explained later at a news conference that there are good reasons for the Fed to be cautious about slowing a bondpurchase program that’s designed to keep long-term rates ultra-low: — The Fed has yet to see conclu-

Stocks spiked immediately after the Fed released its statement at the end of its two-day policy meeting and closed at a record high. The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 147 points or 1 percent.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans vowed Wednesday to pass legislation that would prevent a partial government shutdown and avoid a historic national default while simultaneously canceling out President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, inaugurating a new round of political brinkmanship as critical deadlines approach. Obama swiftly condemned the effort as attempted political extortion, and the Republican-friendly Chamber of Commerce pointedly called on lawmakers to pass urgent spending and borrowing legislation — unencumbered by debate over “Obamacare.� The two-step strategy announced by House Speaker John Boehner marked a concession to his confrontational rank and file. At the same time, it represented a challenge to conservatives inside the Senate and out who have spent the summer seeking the votes needed to pull the president’s cherished health care law out by its roots. They now will be called on to deliver. “The fight over here has been won. The House has voted 40 times to defund, change Obamacare, to repeal it. It’s time for the Senate to have this fight,� said Boehner, an Ohio Republican. As outlined by several officials, Boehner and the leadership intend to set a House vote for Friday on legislation to fund the government through Dec. 15 at existing levels while perma-

TOLEDO (AP) — Rappers The Game and Drake plan to donate $22,500 to help an Ohio woman pay for the funerals of her five children and boyfriend who died in a mobile home fire. The Game called the Burger King restaurant where the woman works Tuesday and asked what he could do to help her, a spokesman for the family said. Anna Angel’s five children and her boyfriend were killed early Sunday when a fast-moving fire tore through their mobile home in Tiffin, about 50 miles southeast of Toledo. Angel was working at E XOT I C I N S E C T S FROM AROUND T H E WO R L D

the time and raced home on her bicycle when she learned of the fire. A funeral for the children was scheduled for Thursday. “It’s just never right when they leave the earth early,� The Game said in a phone interview Wednesday. “They shouldn’t make caskets that small.� The Game said he told Angel’s boss that he and Drake each wanted to donate $10,000 and asked what else she needed. When the rapper was told that Angel did not have a car, he added $2,500 more to the donation from the producers of his reality TV show, “Marrying The Game.� Neighbors said after the fire

that Angel’s only transportation was her bicycle and that she was often seen riding with her children behind in a bike trailer for kids. “I weighed it against my life,� he said. “I can only imagine how difficult it is now.� The Game said he was talking with Drake when he learned about the fire and that they immediately agreed to help Angel. “When things like that happen, I never know what to say,� The Game said. “I send my heart, prayers and my love her way.� The Game recently started a charity called The Robin Hood Project to help people in need. Representatives for the rappers

have been in contact with a bank in northwest Ohio that is handling donations and expect to complete the transaction within the next two days, said Keith Hodkinson, the family spokesman. Community members already have raised about $16,000 for the family. Angel lost everything she owned in the fire, and the hope is that the fund will help her get back on her feet, Hodkinson said. “She’s extremely grateful, touched,� he said. “But she’s still in shock.� Donations can be sent to the Anna Angel Donation Fund, US Bank, 730 W. Market St., Tiffin, OH 44883.

Commission recommends rezoning, replat city of Sidney owns the land and requested the replat. Dulworth told the commission that the tract to be split off is undeveloped except for an access road that bisects it. The original proposed use for this land was to provide a means of ingress and egress serving the park if the agricultural land surrounding the property were to be developed for residential purposes. As the adjacent East Ridge Subdivision was developed, access to the parkland was provided from Constitution Avenue. Since there is no street frontage for the tract, the replat includes a note

lower rates on bonds and consumer and business loans. Bond yields sank. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.71 percent from 2.85 percent, the biggest one-day drop in nearly two years. Since May, when Bernanke first signaled that the Fed could reduce its bond purchases this year, average rates on longterm fixed mortgages have surged more than a full percentage point to near two-year highs. The average on the 30-year mortgage is at 4.57 percent, according to Freddie Mac. There are signs that higher mortgage rates have made it harder for people to afford homes The rebound in the housing market has been a key pillar for the economy. The Fed lowered its economic growth forecasts for this year and next year slightly. It predicts that the economy will grow just 2 percent to 2.3 percent this year, down from its forecast in June of 2.3 percent to 2.6 percent growth. Next year’s economic growth will be a barely healthy 3 percent, the Fed predicts. The Fed’s policymakers expect the unemployment rate to fall to between 7.1 percent and 7.3 percent by the end of 2013, slightly below its June forecast of 7.2 percent to 7.3 percent. It predicts that

unemployment will fall as low as 6.4 percent next year, down from 6.5 percent in its June forecast. In its statement, the Fed noted that rising mortgage rates and government spending cuts are restraining growth. It repeated its plan to keep its key short-term rate near zero at least until unemployment falls to 6.5 percent from the current 7.3 percent. The Fed’s short-term rate indirectly affects many consumer and business loans. “We’re in a slowgrowth economy with high unemployment and low inflation,” said Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com. “There’s no specific catalyst for the Fed to remove stimulus.” David Robin, an interest rate strategist at Newedge LLC, said Fed policymakers were surprised by how fast rates rose after they raised the possibility of scaling back the bond purchases. They likely worried that rates would rise even more, and jeopardize the economy, if they reduced the bondbuying. Bernanke said the Fed is concerned that looming fights between Congress and the White House over the budget and taxes could slow the economy. Unless Congress can agree to fund the government past Oct. 1, a

government shutdown will occur. The government is also expected to reach its borrowing limit next month. Unless Congress agrees to raise the limit, the government won’t be able to pay all its bills. “This is one of the risks we are looking at,” Bernanke said. The Fed’s policy statement was approved on a 9-1 vote. Esther George, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, dissented for the sixth time this year. She repeated her concerns that the bond purchases could fuel high inflation and financial instability. The decision to maintain its stimulus follows reports of sluggish economic growth. Employers slowed hiring this summer, and consumers spent more cautiously. Super-low rates are credited with helping fuel a housing comeback, support economic growth, drive stocks to record highs and restore the wealth of many Americans. John Canally, investment strategist at LPL Financial, suggested that financial markets had overreacted in anticipation of reduced bond purchases. Higher rates “started to impact the real economy, and (the Fed) got a little bit concerned.” Economists suggested that the Fed will still

eventually scale back its bond buying, perhaps before year’s end. “Tapering will come sooner rather than later, assuming that the economy cooperates,” Sung Won Sohn, an economist at California State University Channel Islands, wrote in a research report. “The economy is steady, though not strong, and is moving in the right direction The unemployment rate is now 7.3 percent, the lowest since 2008. Yet the rate has dropped in large part because many people have stopped looking for work and are no longer counted as unemployed — not because hiring has accelerated. Inflation is running below the Fed’s 2 percent target. The Fed meeting took place at a time of uncertainty about who will succeed Bernanke when his term ends in January. On Sunday, Lawrence Summers, who was considered the leading candidate, withdrew from consideration. Summers’ withdrawal followed growing resistance from critics. His exit has opened the door for his chief rival, Janet Yellen, the Fed’s vice chair. If chosen by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate, Yellen would become the first woman to lead the Fed. ——— AP Economics Writers Paul Wiseman and Christopher S. Rugaber contributed to this report.

permanently defunding the health care law. The same bill will include a requirement for Treasury to give priority to Social Security and disability payments in the event the government reaches its borrowing limit and cannot pay all of its obligations. A second measure, to be brought to the floor as early as next week, would allow Treasury to borrow freely for one year. That same bill is also expected to be loaded with other requirements, including the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline from Canada to the United States, a project that environmentalists oppose and that the Obama administration has so far refused to approve. Other elements will reflect different Republican budget priorities, including as-yet-undisclosed savings from health care and government benefit programs and steps to speed work on an overhaul of the tax code. Prospects for passage of the two bills are high in the House, where Republicans have a majority and leaders pronounced the rank and file united behind the strategy. But both measures are certain to be viewed as non-starters by majority Democrats in the Senate. Some Republicans appeared to concede during the day that the legislation that eventually reaches the White House will leave the

health care law in effect. “I don’t think that any reasonable person thinks there’s anything to be gained by a government shutdown,” said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. “Rather than a shutdown of government, what we need is a Republican victory in 2014 so we can be in control. I’m not sure those are mutually compatible.” But a fellow Texas Republican, Sen. Ted Cruz said it was important to hold fast. He said Democrats appear at present to have the votes to restore funds for the health care law, adding, “At that point, House Republicans must stand firm, hold their ground and continue to listen to the American people.” Given the differences, it is unclear how long it will take Congress and the White House to clear the measures, and how close the government will come to a partial shutdown or a market-rattling default over the next three weeks. Separately on Wednesday, the Obama administration’s budget director, Sylvia Burwell, issued a memo to department heads that said, “Prudent management requires that agencies be prepared for the possibility of a lapse” in funding. Congressional Democrats competed to denounce the Republican move in the strongest possible terms. Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York said the GOP was pur-

suing an “insane plan.” Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota said, “A group of extremists is threatening to hold our government hostage.” Obama, speaking to CEOs at a meeting of the Business Roundtable, said, “You have never seen in the history of the United States the debt ceiling or the threat of not raising the debt ceiling being used to extort a president or a governing party and trying to force issues that have nothing to do with the budget and have nothing to do with the debt.” He attributed the effort to a “small faction” within the Republican Party. R. Bruce Josten, executive vice president of the Chamber of Commerce for government affairs, urged the House in a letter to “act promptly to pass a (bill) to fund the government and to raise the debt ceiling,” and then to return to health care, tax reform and other issues. Whatever its ultimate impact on Republican lawmakers, the letter stands as a counter to an aggressive campaign by tea party-aligned groups including the Senate Conservatives Fund, Heritage Action and the Club for Growth in recent weeks to generate support for legislation to defund the administration’s health care overhaul.

Band From page 1 ‘Divalicious’,”said Steenrod. The Ohio Northern University Marching Band, directed by Dr. Charles Bates, was organized in 1890 through the Military Department of ONU. The band played for military events and other university functions but was not active with athletic events until the early 1900’s when the athletic program was developed. Today, the band, 120 members strong, is a part of the Department of

Music and is very active on and off campus in a variety of performances. The band uses a modified corps-style of marching, along with color guards, twirlers, and off-the-field percussion battery, and three field commanders. The band performs at all ONU home games, one away game per season and several local parades. In addition, the band has been featured at numerous high school marching band fes-

tivals and competitions such as Sensational Sounds. Their show will include hits like, “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” by Holland-Dozier-Holland and recorded by the Supremes, “Respect” by Otis Redding and recorded by Aretha Franklin, “Crazy” by Beyoncé Knowles, “Like a Virgin” by Madonna, and “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Miserable by Claude-Michel Schonberg. The Star of Northwest Ohio is

led by field commanders Garritt Corlett, Andrew Brubaker and Sarah Leech. Featured twirler is Kelly Holtgrefe. Drumline captain is Andrew Kremyar. Guard captain is Devin Obermeyer. Tickets can be purchased at the gate for $5 the day of the event. Proceeds from this event will go towards the purchase of additional uniforms for the evergrowing SHS Marching Band.

Video confessor pleads guilty to fatal DUI Andrew Welsh-Huggins Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — Confronted at a hospital by police who said he’d just killed a man, drunk driver Matthew Cordle was angry and in denial. “He became very irate, and began yelling, he didn’t kill anyone, he didn’t do it, and he wasn’t going to give them any blood sample,” Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien said Wednesday. Sober and in recovery, Cordle had a change of heart. He decided to plead guilty as quickly as possible, and made an online video confessing to the crime. He didn’t waver from the position he took in the Sept. 3 video, and on Wednesday he made good on his pledge and pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular homicide. “I drank so much I was blacked out,” Cordle told Franklin County Judge David Fais near the end of a 38-minute hearing. “So I would say this was a binge drinking situation, correct, Mr. Cordle?” Fais asked. “Yes, your honor,” Cordle said. His guilty plea came just over a week after he was indicted, light speed compared to most court cases which can drag on

for weeks or months. Sentencing was set for Oct. 10. Cordle, 22, faces two to 8 ½ years in prison, a $15,000 fine and loss of driving privileges for life. He also pleaded guilty to operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol. His blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit of 0.08. In a 3½-minute video posted two weeks ago, Cordle admitted he killed a man from another Columbus suburb and said he “made a mistake” when he decided to drive that night. “My name is Matthew Cordle, and on June 22, 2013, I hit and killed Vincent Canzani,” he says somberly. “This video will act as my confession.” Cordle told Fais he’d been at a series of bars near downtown Columbus and was on his way home but remembered little else. “I have no recollection,” he said, when asked if any of his friends had tried to stop him from driving. He also couldn’t remember how long he’d been drinking or if he’d had anything to eat. His attorneys said he may have suffered a brain injury from a cracked skull in the accident. Two other cars narrowly avoided involvement in the crash that night, including two

Attorney Martin Midian (left) talks with Matthew Cordle in the Franklin County Common Pleas Court in Columbus Wednesday. Cordle, who confessed in an online video to causing a fatal wrong-way crash on on June 22 after a night of heavy drinking, pleaded guilty Wednesday to aggravated vehicular homicide. He faces two to 8 1/2 years in prison at sentencing, which was set for Oct. 10, and will also lose driving privileges for life.

women in a car who suffered minor injuries as they swerved to avoid Cordle, O’Brien said. Cordle did not ask to be released before sentencing and the judge revoked his $255,000 bond. Cordle received permission to give a media interview from jail Thursday with a news organization his attorneys wouldn’t identify. O’Brien said he believed Cordle’s remorse in the video was genuine, but he said any further interviews would be

self-serving. He also disputed Cordle’s assertion in the confessional video that he could have fought the case against him, which O’Brien called “a slam dunk.” “It’s nonsense to think that you can beat that case, and any lawyer that told him that was trying to get a large fee on some kind of promise,” O’Brien said. O’Brien is seeking the maximum sentence. Cordle’s attorneys say they will ask for a sentence that’s fair. They defended

Cordle’s upcoming interview, saying he wants to get his antidrunk driving message out. “He’ll be the first person to tell you anytime you sit down and talk with Matt that this is not about him, it is about the Canzani family,” defense attorney George Breitmayer said. “He’s just trying to make something good come out of a terrible, terrible situation.” Canzani’s daughter told a TV station last week that the attention the case has gotten is forcing her to relive what happened. Angela Canzani told WCMH-TV in Columbus that people seem to forget a person died. The YouTube version of Cordle’s video has been viewed more than two 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.

Political donations from vets scammer downplayed Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio attorney general’s multi-state case against a man accused of fraud after collecting as much as $100 million in the name of Navy veterans doesn’t address the man’s donations to a who’s who of mostly Republican politicians, including the attorney general himself. The political donations tied to the man who calls himself Bobby Thompson, and to the United States Navy Veterans Association, his Tampa, Fla.-based charity, are “kind of a sidebar to the scam,” Attorney General Mike DeWine said. Recipients included George W. Bush, Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann and other high-profile politicians. “That’s not really an essential part of proving the elements of the crime of him taking this money,” DeWine said. But investigating the political side

of Thompson’s case would seem “pretty basic due diligence,” said Sheila Krumholz, executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit that tracks the use of political donations. “Here’s really serious fraud and potential corruption,” she said. “Who knows what could surface in an investigation, but you wonder with somebody who is willing to break the rules so egregiously whether he had help and whether he had elicited any promises in exchange for his support.” Thompson — whom authorities have identified as Harvard-trained lawyer and former military intelligence officer John Donald Cody — sits in a Cleveland jail awaiting trial this month. DeWine’s latest annual report dubs it “one of the highest-profile cases in the history of the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.” Under the heading “Lifetime fugitive meets his match,” the write-up stresses

the “vast amounts of information from law enforcement and public sources” collected and the “financial records, account statements, and tax returns” analyzed. Nowhere does DeWine mention that hundreds of thousands of dollars in Thompson’s cash was donated personally and through his Navy Vets charity or its political action committee, NAVPAC, to more than 50 mostly Republican candidates in 16 states. Among the beneficiaries, campaign finance filings show, were Bush; presidential contenders Romney, Bachmann, John McCain and Rudy Giuliani; former Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman and former North Carolina Sen. Elizabeth Dole; former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist; and New York Assemblyman James Tedisco. “It’s almost a Hall of Fame of politicians in the news today,” said Jeff Testerman, a retired Tampa Bay Times reporter who broke stories on Thompson that led to Ohio’s pursuit of the case.

When they learned of allegations against Thompson, many recipients passed the contributions on to charities. Testerman, whose newspaper is challenging his being called as a journalist witness, said delving into Thompson’s political giving could help explain what motivated his alleged fraud. “It should become a political sideshow,” Testerman said. “Because, as everyone who’s looked into this knows, Thompson greased the palms of every politician that he felt like at the time, going back a number of years to Mr. DeWine.” Thompson disappeared for almost two years after his 2010 indictment on theft, money laundering and other charges. He was tracked and dramatically arrested last year in Portland, Ore., where agents and deputy marshals found him with fake IDs and a suitcase containing $980,000 in cash.

Nation/World Today in History The Associated Press

Today is Thursday, Sept. 19, the 262nd day of 2013. There are 103 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 19, 1982, the smiley emoticon was invented as Carnegie Mellon University professor Scott E. Fahlman proposed punctuating humorously intended computer messages by employing a colon followed by a hyphen and a parenthesis as a horizontal “smiley face.” :-) On this date: In 1777, the first Battle of Saratoga was fought during the Revolutionary War; although the British forces succeeded in driving out the American troops, the Americans prevailed in a second battle the following month. In 1796, President George Washington’s farewell address was published. In 1881, the 20th president of the United States, James A. Garfield, died 2 1/2 months after being shot by Charles Guiteau; Chester Alan Arthur became president. In 1934, Bruno Hauptmann was arrested in New York and charged with the kidnap-murder of Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. In 1945, Nazi radio propagandist William Joyce, known as “Lord Haw-Haw,” was convicted of treason and sentenced to death by a British court. In 1957, the United States conducted its first contained underground nuclear test, codenamed Rainier, in the Nevada desert. In 1959, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, visiting Los Angeles, reacted angrily upon being told that, for security reasons, he wouldn’t get to visit Disneyland. In 1960, Cuban leader Fidel Castro, in New York to visit the United Nations, angrily checked out of the Shelburne Hotel in a dispute with the management; Castro ended up staying at the Hotel Theresa in Harlem. In 1961, Barney and Betty Hill, a New Hampshire couple driving home from vacation, experienced what they later claimed under hypnosis was a short-term abduction by extraterrestrials. In 1962, the Western TV series “The Virginian” debuted on NBC. In 1970, the situation comedy “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” debuted on CBS-TV. In 1985, the Mexico City area was struck by a devastating earthquake that killed at least 9,500 people. Ten years ago: Former Hurricane Isabel raced from Virginia to Canada, delivering far less rain than expected but leaving millions without power. Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein’s defense minister, Sultan Hashim Ahmad, surrendered to U.S. forces.

Cheer up, Grumpy Cat: You’re a star ST. LOUIS (AP) — It probably won’t affect her famous mood, but Grumpy Cat now has an endorsement deal. The frown-faced Internet sensation, real name Tardar Sauce, is now the “spokescat” for a Friskies brand of cat food, Nestle Purina PetCare announced Tuesday. The St. Louis-based company didn’t release terms of the deal. Photos of Grumpy Cat, her brown and white face in a constant scowl, have become a constant presence on Facebook and other social media, often accompanied by crabby messages such as “I don’t like days that end in Y” or “I’m listening, I just don’t care. She also is among the biggest stars of the peculiar trend of cat dominance on Web videos and postings. Grumpy Cat’s own Facebook page has more than 1.3 million likes. The dour animal also has more than 111,000 Twitter followers. In addition to the relationship with Nestle Purina, which featured Grumpy Cat in an online video game series in March, the 1 ½-year-old mixed-breed feline has a merchandise line and reportedly has a movie deal in the works. “She’s very busy,” Friskies spokeswoman Julie Catron said. “The first thing she’ll do for us is receive the lifetime achievement award.” Catron isn’t kidding. The feline will receive the award Oct. 15 in New York as Friskies honors the best cat videos of the year as chosen through an online vote.

Military base shootings shake sense of security Ramit Plushnick-Masti Associated Press

Armed guards stand at the gates. IDs are needed to pass through electronic barriers. And uniformed members of the American military — welltrained and battle-tested — are everywhere, smartly saluting as they come and go. And yet, twice in less than four years, a person with permission to be there passed through the layers of protection at a U.S. base and opened fire, destroying the sense of security at the installations that embody the most powerful military in the world. “It is earth-shattering. When military bases are no longer safe, where is safe if that even doesn’t exist anymore?” said Col. Kathy Platoni, a reservist who keeps a gun under her desk after witnessing the shooting at Fort Hood in Texas in 2009, when Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Hasan killed 13 people.

In the wake of this week’s deadly rampage at the Washington Navy Yard, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel ordered the Pentagon to review security at all U.S. defense installations worldwide and examine the granting of security clearances that allow access to them. “We will find those gaps and we will fix those gaps,” Hagel vowed on Wednesday. After Fort Hood, the military tightened security at bases nationwide. Those measures included issuing security personnel long-barreled weapons, adding an insider-attack scenario to their training, and strengthening ties to local law enforcement, said Peter Daly, a vice admiral who retired from the Navy in 2011. The military also joined an FBI intelligencesharing program aimed at identifying terror threats. Then, on Monday, Aaron Alexis, a 34-year-old former Navy reservist who held a security clearance as an information technology employee at a

defense company, used a valid pass to get into the Washington Navy Yard and killed 12 people before dying in a gun battle with police. The attack has raised questions about the adequacy of the background checks done on government contractors who hold security clearances. Hagel acknowledged “a lot of red flags” may have been missed in the background of the gunman, who had a history of violent behavior and was said to be hearing voices recently. Many of the security improvements adopted after 9/11 and Fort Hood were created largely with terrorism in mind, not unstable individuals with no apparent political agenda. Those threats can be more difficult to detect. Daly, who directs the U.S. Naval Institute in Annapolis, Md., said the military needs to review its procedures for vetting people for access to installations.

“Once you’re inside that hardened line of defense, that is the most difficult scenario,” he said. “We need to look at how these clearances are granted to contractors and subcontractors and to make sure once someone is granted clearance, that we come back and check again.” Some of the shock and sudden sense of vulnerability caused by Fort Hood and the Navy Yard attack may have stemmed from the mistaken belief that military personnel are armed when they are on domestic installations. Most personnel are, in fact, barred from carrying weapons onto a base, and Hasan and Alexis probably knew it. Another little-known fact is that many searches are random. Not all vehicles or packages are checked. In Southern California, Marine Capt. Aaron Meyer said it would be impossible to eliminate all threats without making military operations too costly or inefficient.

6 killed as bus strikes passenger train OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Passengers screamed “Stop! Stop!” seconds before their bus crashed through a crossing barrier and into a commuter train during morning rush hour in Canada’s capital on Wednesday, killing six people and injuring 34. “He smoked the train,” witness Mark Cogan said of the bus driver, who was among those killed. “He went through the guard rail and just hammered the train, and then it was just mayhem.” It was not immediately clear what caused the bus to smash through the lowered barrier at a crossing in suburban Ottawa. The front of the double-decker bus was ripped away by the impact, and the train’s locomotive and one passenger car derailed, though there were no reports of major injuries to train passengers or crew. Officials in Ottawa initially said 10 of the injured were in critical condition, but by late afternoon, Anthony Di Monte, chief of the Ottawa Paramedic Service, said that number had been lowered, though he could not give a precise figure. The crash brought trains on the national Via Rail’s Ottawa-Toronto route to a standstill. It was Canada’s second major rail accident in less than three months. A runaway oil train derailed and exploded in a Quebec town on July 6, killing 47 people in the country’s worst rail disaster in more than a century. Tanner Trepanier said he and other passengers could see the four-car train bearing down on them as the bus approached the crossing. “People started screaming, ‘Stop! Stop!’ because they could see the train coming down the track,” Trepanier said. But the driver didn’t slow down, said Rebecca Guilbeault, who was on the bus with her 1-year-old son. “I don’t know if the bus driver blacked out,” she said. “I’ve seen a few people dead, someone ripped in half.” Another passenger, Gregory Mech, said the train crossing has about a 90-degree bend and he didn’t think the driver saw that the signals were flashing and the barrier was down.

The Oklahoma State Medical Examiner Office says authorities have recovered skeletal remains of multiple bodies in the Oklahoma lake where the cars were recovered.

SAYRE, Okla. (AP) — When three teenagers from this small Oklahoma town disappeared on their way to a high school football game in 1970, rumors swirled as to what happened to the trio. Some thought the three had stumbled across a drug deal at a rural airstrip and been killed. Others said they might have run away to California. “There have been theories from everybody,” said Dayva Spitzer, publisher of The Sayre Record newspaper and a longtime resident. “Everyone suspected foul play. … But every lead just went nowhere.” Now authorities believe they have a key piece to the puzzle: A 1969 Camaro, just like the one the teens were driving, was pulled from a lake with the skeletal remains of three people inside. And that wasn’t the only discovery. A second car containing remains, an early 1950s Chevrolet, was also recovered from Foss Lake.

French Senate says ‘non’ to mini-Miss pageants Angela Charlton Associated Press

PARIS (AP) — Child beauty pageants may soon be banned in France, after a surprise vote in the French Senate that rattled the pageant industry and raised questions about how the French relate to girls’ sexuality. Such contests, and the made-up, dolled-up beauty queens they produce, have the power to both fascinate and repulse, and have drawn criticism in several countries. France, with its controlling traditions, appears to be out front in pushing an outright ban. French legislators stopped short of approving a measure banning anyone under 16 from modeling products meant for grown-ups — a sensitive subject in a country renowned for its fashion and cosmetics industries, and about to host Paris Fashion Week. The proposed children’s pageant amendment sprouted from a debate on a women’s rights law. The legislation, approved by a vote of 197-146, must go to the lower house of parliament for further debate and another vote.

Its language is brief but sweeping: “Organizing beauty competitions for children under 16 is banned.” Violators — who could include parents, or contest organizers, or anyone who “encourages or tolerates children’s access to these competitions” — would face up to two years in prison and 30,000 euros ($40,000) in fines. It doesn’t specify whether it would extend to things like online photo competitions or pretty baby contests. While child beauty pageants are not as common in France as in the U.S., girls get the message early on here that they are sexual beings, from advertising and marketing campaigns — and even from department stores that sell lingerie for girls as young as 6. The U.S. has also seen controversy around child beauty pageants and reality shows like “Toddlers & Tiaras.” Such contests gripped the public imagination after the 1996 death of 6-year-old beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey, as images of her splashed over national television and opened the eyes of many to the scope of the industry.

in which two men and a woman disappeared a year before the teens vanished. “These vehicles match those missingpersons reports real close,” Peoples said Wednesday as investigators combed through what remained of the rusty, mudcovered vehicles. The missing teens were identified as Leah Johnson, Michael Rios and Jimmy Williams. Both vehicles were discovered Tuesday in about 12 feet of water by divers conducting a training exercise at the lake about 30 miles east of town. The vehicles were only about 50 feet from the end of a boat ramp near a marina, but Peoples said it was no surprise that the murky waters held a secret. “This lake isn’t crystal clear. It’s a typical western Oklahoma lake with a lot of silt in it. The visibility is only 6 to 12 inches on a good day,” Peoples said. “We’ll consider it a mystery until we prove otherwise.” The sheriff said it was entirely possible that people simply drove into Foss Lake and drowned.

St. Marys home earns 5 stars ST. MARYS – Otterbein St. Marys Senior Lifestyle Community is the latest Otterbein Senior Lifestyle Choices location to achieve a fivestar rating from the Ohio Department of Health. “I could not be more proud of this achievement,� said Fred Wiswell, executive director of Otterbein St. Marys. “Not only does it validate the excellent care that is delivered from day-to-day, but it also recognizes all stakeholders of our community who have dedicated themselves in one or many ways to our mission and ministry. Each one — resident, family member, partner, volunteer, board member, corporate resources and partners and community collaborations — is recognized and rewarded by this awesome outcome.� The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services created the five-star quality rating system to help consumers, their families, and caregivers compare nursing homes more easily. Nursing homes with five stars are considered to have above-average quality. This rating system provides an easy way to understand assessment of nursing home quality, making meaningful distinctions between high and low performing nursing homes. Nationally, 15.9 percent of nursing homes were given five stars, according to a report released earlier this month.

Regular the TV ads that attempt to con- attendance at the worship services vince us that our lives aren’t total- that are provided by our churches ly complete without certain prod- help us to set aside worldly dis-

tractions and enjoy the fellowship of others. Participation in these worship services and other church activities, such as Bible studies, with other Christians help us to develop meaningful relationships as we become more Christ-like. It is also good to participate in inspirational activities by listening to Christian music, reading materials and group events. The Gideons, Promise Keepers, and Women of Faith, to name a few, are not centered upon a denominational factor but unite all Christians who accept the salvation offered to us by the unconditional love and forgiveness of God. On Friday, Oct. 11, there is going to be a local event of this nature. It will be a retreat being offered at Dorothy Love Retirement Community and will include lunch, a Bible study,

some entertainment, and a presentation by Christina Ryan Claypool. (Check out her incredible, inspirational story at her website — christinaryanclaypool.com — and If you would like more information about that retreat please give me a call at 4929136, ext. 29.) So we are properly prepared for our battle against evil, it is important for us to establish a routine of daily prayer and Scripture reading. This practice makes it possible for us to shut out the world and focus completely upon the presence of God in our lives. When we commit to this time of intentional connection and communication with God, the power of the Holy Spirit enables us to sift through distractions and know which are given to us by the world and so are roadblocks to our faith, and those that will

nurture our spiritual growth on our way to eternal life with Christ. Distractions can be a blessing in disguise as they provide us with an opportunity to share God’s love with another person. Just when I think I have my day all planned out I am reminded, by distractions, of God’s greater plan for me to be in a loving, compassionate relationship with others. (Matthew 22:37-39) “We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his Holy Name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you.” (Psalm 33:20-22) Enjoy God’s blessings!

Battle for Purity conference coming to Greenville church GREENVILLE — Fred Stoeker will speak on the topic of sexual sin at the Battle for Purity conference Sept. 28 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the EUM Church Worship Center, 1451 Sater St. Men and women ages 15 and older are welcome to attend. Registration is $10 per person and due by Sunday. Facing a moment of truth regarding his sexual purity a couple years after his wedding in 1981, Stoeker is well aware of the battle men face with sexual sin. After stumbling upon his father’s Playboy magazine in first grade, Stoeker struggled with pornographic materials for the next 20 years. Despite entering a committed relationship with Jesus Christ at age 23, Stoeker continued to struggle with pornography until his wedding the following year. He quickly found that marriage did not eliminate the problem and the negative effects of his sexual sin upon his intimacy with God and with his wife, Brenda. While Stoeker had graduated from Stanford

University with a Bachelor of Arts with honors and had begun a successful sales and consulting business in Des Moines, Iowa, his marriage was struggling, as well as his feelings of personal integrity. Embarking on a study of Christian literature on marriage as well as reviewing his studies on human sexuality at Stanford, he began to search for answers to his problems. He said daily Bible study allowed the word of God to wash him clean and to begin to transform his mind, and before long, God had used Job 31:1 and Luke 6:46 to begin to break the stranglehold that sexual sin had over his life. Fred’s marriage to Brenda now spans 30 years. They have two sons and two daughters. Brenda coauthored the book, “Every Heart Restored,” which is designed to help wives restore their hearts for their husbands in the wake of sexual sin. “Every Heart Restored” was awarded the Silver Medallion Book of the Year by the ECPA in the marriage category in 2005.

VERSAILLES — Pastor and teacher Craig Groeschel has coined the phrase “Christian atheist” in his Bible study of the same title, challenging people to examine their faith and encouraging them to live an authentic, God-honoring life. LWM Community Church, 102 W. Main St., has invited the public to this new Bible study. Through Groeschel’s Scripture-based video lessons and the companion trade book and participant’s guide, all are welcome to come and explore if there are any areas of their life where they might be considered a “Christian atheist”— where they believe in God, but are living as if he doesn’t exist, program organizers said.

PORT JEFFERSON — Mark Bishop will perform Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. at New Life Church PJBC, 329 W. Main St. Bishop has been sharing his music with audiences and gospel music fans for 25 years. As an award-winning singer, songwriter and producer, he has ministered to and entertained audiences across the United States and Canada. His music has been heard around the world. His musical roots trace back to summer evenings spent on the front porch with his family, sharing the day’s events and whiling away the hours singing song after song. A few years later, these impromptu “practices” would bring the Bishop family to the forefront of southern gospel music radio and the concert circuit. Bishop, along with his brother Kenny and his father, Kenneth, toured the country for 17 years as a popular family-group, The Bishops. During their career, the group enjoyed enormous success, with 25 recordings that produced 27 Top 40 songs, including 12 Top 5 songs and three No. 1 songs. The group also received numerous awards from their fans and peers in gospel music.

Speaker discusses how to age successfully Patricia Ann Speelman pspeelman@civitasmedia.com

Counting from 100 backward by sevens is a “brain break” in the middle of the day that can help people age successfully. So said author Barbara Bruce, of Rochester, N.Y., in addressing an audience of about 50 people recently at the Dorothy Love Retirement Community in Sidney. The talk, which was open to the public, was presented by the Ohio Presbyterian Retirement Systems, of which Dorothy Love is one. Bruce has authored 10 books and lectures widely on a number of topics having to do with aging, brain fitness and teaching and learning. “What words do you think of when you think of ‘age’?” Bruce asked the group. Answers included “can’t drive,” “Alzheimer’s,” “walkers,” “wheelchairs” and “wisdom.” “There were nine nega-

tives and one positive,” Bruce counted. “Focus on the positives. That’s how we age well. I think we need to be proud of the laugh lines and the gray hairs and be proud of who we are.” She went on to discuss factors and behaviors that affect how gracefully people age: • 18 percent is based on genes. • 10 percent is based on the quality and quantity of health care received. • 19 percent is based on environment. • 53 percent is based on life style. Those lifestyle behaviors make a big difference, Bruce claimed. She said that choices that affect successful aging are physical exercise, diet, mental exercise, sleep, social interaction, positive attitude, laughter, medical care, maintaining a healthy weight and maintaining an ageless spirit. In addition, she said,

living simply for financial security, keeping busy doing for self and others, independence and creative expression also influence lifestyle results. “You can exercise before you get out of bed,” Bruce said. She then asked the audience to join in moving ankles and wrists in circles and back and forth. “If you do that first, you won’t be dizzy when you first get up,” she said. Bruce listed foods to avoid, saying “We are what we eat.” She cautioned against “white” foods: white sugar (“And the pink, yellow, blue packets are poison — nothing but chemicals.”); salt (“We need salt, but there’s so much sodium in everything we eat, there’s no need to ever pick up a salt shaker.”); white flour; white rice; and the white marbling in red meat (“It clogs the arteries. Also avoid processed meats like hot dogs, bologna, salami.”).

Barbara Bruce (l-r), of Rochester, N.Y., speaks with Barbara Doseck, of Kettlersville, and Rita Kinstle, of Botkins, following Bruce’s talk at Dorothy Love Retirement Community recently.

What should people eat? “Eat a rainbow,” Bruce said. “Vegetables, leafy greens, fruits. Each color has different nutrients. If something can go bad, it’s good for you. If something can’t go bad, it’s not good for you.” She then had the audience list as many fruits as they could think of in two minutes, 37 seconds. That’s one of several brain

WIN learns of heart disease Women In Networking held its September meeting at Wilson Memorial Hospital and heard from Dr. Rehan J. Ahmed, D.O., a cardiologist with Sidney Cardiology, affiliated with Kettering Health Network. Ahmed noted that women are six times more likely to die of heart disease than men and described symptoms that both men and women have when experiencing a heart attack: shortness of breath and chest pain. However, he said, women can also experience heartburn, anxiety attacks, pain between the shoulder blades, nausea, fatigue, and light-headedness. Historically, women with heart disease have been undertreated. One risk factor is genetics, so family history is always important to know, he said. Walking

30 minutes a day and eating the right foods is a way to help fight this disease. Gloria Miller from McCrate, DeLaet & Company received the monthly Chamber of Commerce gift certificate. The October meeting will be at the Sidney Transit Building and the topic will be the Sidney Municipal Airport and Shelby County Public Transit system. WIN is a council of the Sidney-Shelby County Chamber of Commerce and provides a forum for the exchange of ideas among women in business, a network of support, and programs of interest, which promote success to the membership. Guests are always welcome. For information about membership, call 492-9122.

games she suggested to keep thinkers active. She invited the group to describe their days in three words. “It’s fun,” she said. “It makes your brain work.” Bruce also encouraged interaction among people. “We are herd creatures. We are meant to be in community. We need each other. Make a point to connect with someone, to

touch base with someone every day,” she said. Sharing several jokes, she also noted that “laughter is called internal jogging.” She suggested that people find often what makes them laugh. And she encouraged prayer or meditation to support happiness. “If you want to withdraw peace, happiness, contentment, you can only do it if you’ve put them in,” she said, comparing aging to a bank account. “Free your heart from hatred. Free your mind from worries. Live simply. Give more. Expect less.” The audience was asked what kind of legacy they wanted to leave behind them. “We all leave a footbprint on this world,” Bruce said. “Are there people who will be sad when you die? If we don’t like the answer, ther’s time to change it.”

RSVP seeks volunteers The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) of the Council on Rural Services needs volunteers 55 and older to assist with its Reading Buddies program. Reading buddies meet with preschool children in local Head Start programs. Younger volunteers can also help. Additional volunteer options include opportunities to tutor children, be a receptionist, stock a food pantry, sit on a nonprofit board, advocate for a child, recycle, work at a park or museum, write grants and lead other volunteers. For information on RSVP or other volunteer possibilities, call 492-8787 or email rsvpsh-mi@councilonruralservices.org.

Sibling Love BY: EMILY HOERSTEN As members of the class of 2014 are nearing the end of their high school careers, the members of the class of 2017 are just beginning. This year brings the opportunity for five seniors to spend a year of high school with their freshman siblings. Everyone met the five senior and freshman sibling pairs at the pep rally on the first Friday of the school year. They are Allen and Joshua Armstrong, Nick and Lindsey Elsner, Grace and John-Henry Frantz, Emily and Will Hoersten, and Grace and Isaiah Winhoven. Senior and freshman siblings attending school together can be a great bonding experience. The Armstrong boys agree, “We enjoy seeing each other in the hallway and making funny faces at each other!” Seniors have the opportunity to show their younger relatives the ropes, making the transition from grade school easier. Will Hoersten said, “Emily is there to answer any questions I have. It wouldn’t have been the same starting out high school without her there.” For some, this has been an entirely different experience. Grace Winhoven said, “We’ve never been at the same school at the same time so I think it’s kind of neat.” Grace Frantz really loves seeing her younger brother each day. “We get along so well so it’s awesome to get to see him and talk to him throughout the day,” she said. “I think it’s really great that I get to spend my last year with John-Henry!” There may be some negative moments, but overall, going to high school with a sibling can be a lot of fun. It is much more enjoyable starting out high school with a friend already in the building. This last year is an important one to spend together since most of the seniors will leave for college next year. Every moment with family should be cherished. top photo: Grace and John-Henry Frantz, Nick and Lindsey Elsner, Emily and Will Hoersten; bottom photo: Grace and Isaiah Winhoven, Allen and Joshua Armstrong

New Face, Familiar Place BY: JOHN HUSA One of the newest additions to the Lehman teaching staff this year has been all over the globe and is now back at home. His name is Mr. Ratermann and he teaches U.S. Government, U.S. History, and World Geography this year at Lehman. Ratermann may be new on the staff, but he is not new to Lehman as he is a graduate of the class of 1981. Ratermann kept himself quite busy after graduating Lehman, joining the U.S. Marine Corps and serving as a Combat Engineer and Embassy Guard for eight years. After his eight years in the Marine Corps, Mr. Ratermann attended Wright State University for three years, and then went to law school for four years at George Mason University in Washington D.C. Ratermann was not finished yet, as he joined the Army as a Judge Advocate General for 14 years. He spent six years in Europe and visited numerous hot spots across the world, as they were “great camping spots”. Just two weeks before school started, Ratermann was a Civilian Legal Advisor in the Persian Gulf. Ratermann’s life before teaching at Lehman seems quite eventful and interesting. With this being Ratermann’s first year of teaching high school, I asked him what he has enjoyed most so far at Lehman. “I really enjoy the student’s work ethic here; they work hard,” said Mr. Ratermann. As one of his Government students, I can say I truly enjoy his class. He has plenty of knowledge and experience, and is a very respectable person. I am excited for the year ahead, and would also like to say thank you to Ratermann for his service to our country.

the trip. This year it cost $355 to send a veteran on the trip. All costs for veterans are covered through donations and fundraisers. Caregivers and volunteers pay for their trip. Taylor attended Monday evening’s dinner to kick off the 9th consecutive Shelby County Veteran trip to D.C. where she spoke about the fundraising at Sidney Middle School last May. She was overwhelmed by the support from the Veterans, and by all that the volunteers do. She said, “I am simply amazed at the whole process!” Among those going on the trip most are Vietnam War Veterans, but there is also one WWII vet, and one Korean War Veteran. The Sidney High FCCLA Officers were also in attendance for the Monday night’s Veteran’s send-off dinner in order to give the memorial wreaths, made every year for the trip, to the Vets. This year was even more special as they recieved special permission to have one placed at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Students raised a total of $1474.04, enough to sponsor four veterans to D.C.! This Friday, September 20th, those Veterans will leave on their trip and Sidney students will line Fair Road and Fourth Avenue to see them off. Last year, Katy Taylor, who was a 5th grade SMS teacher, organized a fundraiser in which students were able to donate in a number of ways. As a building, students were able to buy chances to win a bag of candy on each team. They were also able to donate to wear hats on Wednesday and Friday! Teachers in the different grades sold gum passes, candy, suckers, doughnuts, and granola bars. Students were also able to buy cookies and beef jerky before and after school on Friday. All items were donated by teachers and the money raised went into the fundraiser! “The teachers and staff really need to be commended for their generosity and efforts! Out of their pockets, they supplied all of the treats and goodies the students purchased,” said Taylor. “And of course the amount of money the students donated far exceeded our goal! The entire school really embraced this fundraiser. I couldn’t be more proud!” The trip, which is planned for Sept. 20-22, is primarily for Vietnam War veterans, but WWII and Korean War veterans may also apply to go on

BY: MADILYN BROWN Being a member of the Pro-Lifeguards Board is a good deed in itself. It is a privilege to be a part of such an inspiring group of people. Standing up for all the unborn children takes some guts especially in today’s society. This group of people, at Lehman go even more above and beyond. Every other year the Pro-Life Board members decide on a project they want to do for the Lehman community that depicts religious aspects as well as new changes to our school. This year, the Board decided to add something to the school chapel. With help from former Lehman parent Kelly Staudt, senior Patrick Blenman, and senior ProLifeguards President Grace Frantz, the group acquired new Stations of the Cross for the chapel from an organization that rescues religious art from churches and convents that have closed. “Once we decided what we wanted it do, it seemed like everyone started stepping up to the plate,” said Frantz. “We brainstormed ideas and researched places to find the stations. We know they are from a convent and we are trying to find out more about their history right now.” “It is really cool that they were somewhere else before Lehman,” said senior Lauren Vanderhorst. After a long process of ordering the stations and waiting for them to be shipped, they finally arrived at Lehman. The group then worked with an interior designer, Lori Miller, to plan the placement of the stations. Jay Westerheide, a Lehman graduate, did the actual installation. It’s so neat that Lehman can come together to create such wonderful things at our school. “This project would never have been possible without the help of Mrs. Staudt, Father Hess, the Pro-Life Board, Lori, and Jay.” said Frantz. If you see these people around make sure to thank them. It is people like these who make Lehman such a great place.

ROACH: I have a small cyst at the base of my left tonsil. It has been there for six years and appeared after a bad sore throat. I also would like to mention that I work with children and am exposed to a lot of germs. I have no pain and haven’t had a sore throat in years. I did have this checked out years ago, but I thought it eventually would go away. I recently mentioned it at a checkup, and the doctor would like an ENT to check it out. What worries me is that they may say I need to remove my tonsils, when for the most part they serve me well, because I rarely get sick. I also have heard that removing them as an adult has a much longer recovery time. I am a singer and am about to return to my job working with students. If a cyst is asymptomat-

ic, does it have to be removed? I know I may be jumping the gun a bit, but this is causing me some anxiety. —J.P. ANSWER: Go get it checked out by the ENT, an ear nose and throat doctor. A very small number of these cases are not cysts at all, but the beginnings of tumors, benign or cancerous. Cancer is extremely unlikely in your case if it has been stable for six years. It also could be a tonsillolith, a stonelike deposit of bacteria and fluid. If it is, as expected, both benign and asymptomatic, then the ENT doctor is unlikely to recommend removing your tonsils. You are quite right that removing tonsils as an adult is a much more difficult procedure than it is in children. We also remove far fewer tonsils than we used to, even in children. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

encourage your Rhode Island reader. Renting first is excellent advice. Research what you want in your new destination. Make sure it’s a growing community where transplants will be welcome. Be outgoing. Join a church, community center or other place to meet people. No one will beat a path to your door or care about your former home. Don’t make negative comparisons to locals, and don’t cling to your old friend. If all goes well, consider buying a twin home/duplex where you can be close but have your own space. I’m glad I moved.

As to a new social community, check out nearby colleges or universities. Many offer programs for creative learning in retirement or something similar.

My suggestion to the ladies would be to consider buying what is referred to as a park model (manufactured home) in an RV park. They could even try renting one in a few different parks to get a feel for the park and location. These parks have all kinds of activities going on from morning ‘til night. — MICHIGAN SNOWBIRD DEAR ABBY: Moving into an over-55 community was the perfect solution when we relocated. There was instant community with loads of activities and opportunities to make new friends. When you buy, make sure you own the land as well as the house.

Council welcomes new member May 2014. Kent noted that DP&L would like the village to renew their contract now rather than wait until next May. Kent told council members about the proposal and the savings they are offering. If the village chooses to approve the contract now, the cost is 5.6 for 36 months instead of 6.4 when the contract is renewed next May. No action was taken. Council member Nick Greve said that Botkins Police Chief Tom Glass gave a demonstration of the new license plate reader on the cruiser. Greve said Glass would like to add Austin Featheringham to the police auxiliary to replace Sam Larger, who resigned. Featheringham has two years experience at Liberty Township. Greve also said Sgt. Mark Bell stated that awards were given to auxiliary officers Mark Jordan and Lynn Marsee. Greve updated council members on several items at the Botkins Fire Department: • Council members were told that the Botkins Fire Department’s 1987 FMC is out of service. • The fire bell has been returned from the old bell tower. • New tires have been installed on the tanker. Council members were told that the Botkins Fire Department’s annual Comedy Night is scheduled for Nov. 2, and Oct. 19 is the department’s chicken fry. Greve clarified concerns about the tanker regarding the Sheets Grant for tanker modifications for end-cab controls. Greve said the automation on the drop-tank chutes are the four chutes on the sides and not on the rear. He said the tanker already has a backup camera. The additional controls would be a safety feature. The committee is looking for approval to apply for the Louise Sheets Grant for up to $8,600 for end-cab controls. Council approved the request. Kent told council members that the Aufderhaars would like to have back the land they gave to the village. Kent is looking at the situation and is working with Evans on the issue. Kent said he village’s 2001 Dodge Ram did not meet reserve on Govdeals. The top offer was $5,300. He is planning to advertise the truck in the Sidney Daily News for sealed bids, setting the reserve at $6,800. Woodruff recognized Casey and Todd Dietz for overseeing a project to improve the ball diamond for Little League up to sixth-grade ball. Casey Dietz said Botkins Local Schools agrees that something should be done with the ball diamond. She said that they are wanting to get funding through a Sheets Grant for the ball diamond repairs. Council approved approved suspending the readings and declaring an emergency and approving a resolution determining that certain real estate which the village owns is no longer needed for municipal purpose. Kent told council that this resolution is in regard to Nick Craft accepting the village’s offer to purchase the barber shop property for $22,500 and half the closing costs. Kent is working with Evans on the sale of the property.

BOTKINS — Botkins Village Council welcomed a new member at its recent meeting. Mayor Steve Woodruff asked council it had anyone in mind for the council vacancy. Councilman Steve Heuker made a motion to nominate Casey Dietz to council. Craig Brown seconded. The mayor asked if any other council member had anyone else in mind. No other nominations were made. The mayor closed the nominations and a motion to accept Dietz to council was passed. Woodruff congratulated Dietz and welcomed her to council. She was sworn into office by Solicitor Stan Evans. She replaces Doug Greve. Village Administrator Jesse Kent informed council of an open invite from the Shelby County Farm Bureau. The bureau is hosting a tour of the Ted Winner Family Farm on Sept. 29. The tour includes meal and roundtable discussion. Kent also informed council that the Shelby County Emergency Management Agency was to have an advisory board meeting Sept. 12. The issue of funding for the mass notification system was to be addressed at the meeting. Kent notified council that he received an email from Beth Klopfenstein of I m m a c u l at e Conception Catholic Church saying she will no longer be running the community garage sales. Kent spoke to council about the tennis courts in the village. Kent has found a discrepancy on the county auditor’s website while looking into ownership of the land. He also found there is 60 feet of ground unaccounted for. He said he asked Britt Havenar with help on the issue. Britt Havenar noted to Kent that if council was interested he would provide a map on the ground for approximately $1,500. Kent said he is confident that the village owns the tennis courts. Council decided it is not interested in a map at this time. Woodruff informed council of an a public hearing scheduled Oct. 29 at 7 p.m. village administration building. The hearing is on the replat of lots 578 and 577 approved by the Planning Committee. Kent shared that a notice will be posted in the newspaper and everyone who lives within 200 feet of the properties will receive notice of the hearing. In other business council: • Passed a resolution accepting the lowest and best bid for the Robinhood lift station and force main. • Heard the third reading of an ordinance to regulate the placement and removal of trash bins and containers. • Heard the second reading of a resolution accepting the amounts and rates as determined by the Budget Commission and authorizing the necessary tax levies and certifying them to the county auditor. • Was asked by Kent if it was going to accept Republic’s proposal with a 3 percent increase in commercial trash collection or open commercial trash contracts to bid. Council passed a motion to put commercial trash contracts out for bid. • Went into executive session to address personnel compensation. At an earlier council meeting, Kent gave a PowerPoint presentation on DP&L Energy. The village has a contract with DP&L through

Today’s sports Replay 50 years ago Sept. 19, 1963 Beware of Bellefontaine! That’s the word passed along by Sidney Senior scouts to Coach Dave Haines, as the latter prepared his Jackets for their annual grid rivalry with the Chieftains at Bellefontaine Friday night. In an effort to stop Bellefontaine’s reported heavy machine, Haines and his coaching corps, including Ron Petty, Bill Takacs and John Burns, have been working on the local’s defense. 25 years ago Sept. 19, 1988 With three runners in the top 10, the Minster girls won the A-AA portion of the Graham Invitational Saturday. Jana Woehrmyer won the race in 20:31, Tina Wenning was third in 21:42 and Jenny Gaerke was sixth in 22:03 as Minster totaled just 38 points. Carolyn Stechschulte was 13th and Amy Rutschilling 16th to complete the Minster scoring. 10 years ago Sept. 19, 2003 The Fort Loramie Redskins finished first in the Shelby County League Golf Tournament Thursday at Shelby Oaks, thereby getting a share of the overall championship. Jase Barhorst and Mitchell Goldschmidt, both seniors, tied for medalist honors and were the only ones in the tournament to break 80. They both shot 79. Fellow senior Ryan Schulze came in with an 82 and sophomore Darin Mumaw had an 87.

Jackets face big road test Ken Barhorst Adam Doenges doesn’t like to think a lot about last year’s meeting with Springboro. His Yellow Jackets were soundly thumped 49-0 at home, even though they went into the game with a 2-1 record. Well, deja vu — the Jackets have again started the season 2-1, and Springboro awaits, this time on the road. “I told the kids, 49-0 last year, it was embarrassing when we watched it on film,” said Doenges. “So I’m kind of excited to see how far we’ve come in a year. We definitely challenged the kids this week because I think Springboro and Trotwood are the elite teams on our schedule. I don’t know if Springboro is as good as last year when they made it to the Division I playoffs. But they’re a very good team again.” The Panthers are 2-1, with the loss being to a Centerville team that looks to be as good as anyone this season. The wins came over Mason and

Fairmont. Doenges said the Jacket offense will face a stiff test this week. “On the defensive side, their line is good, probably the best we’ll see all season. So our linemen have their work cut out for them,” he said. “And offensively, everything goes through their quarterback.” That would be Jack Schaff, who started at running back as a sophomore, but has called the signals for Springboro the past two seasons. This year, he’s completed 29 of 52 passes for 424 yards and four touchdowns, and he is also the team’s leading rusher, with 408 yards. So he’s definitely a dual threat. “I look back at Bellefontaine, and we said we couldn’t let their one receiver beat us, and I thought we did a pretty good job of that,” Doenges said. “This week, it’s the quarterback. He’s good, so we have to limit the amount of big plays he gets. We have to get to him and gang tackle.” Doenges was pleased with

Anthony Yates

his team’s 27-7 win last week over West Carrollton, calling it more of a complete game than the Jackets had the previous two weeks. For one thing, they got the running game going, with Eric Barnes finishing with 123 yards rushing on 23 carries. Quarterback Jordan Fox added 80 yards

Sidney and Piqua battled to a 1-1 tie in Greater Western Ohio Conference North girls soccer action Wednesday night at the high school. The verdict leaves Sidney at 1-0-1 in the North and 4-3-2 overall. Piqua is 1-0-1 and 5-3-1. Sidney was playing without all-Ohio forward Morgan Knasel, who suffered a knee injury in the Lady Jackets’ last game. Sidney was able to get on the board just seven minutes in when Adrianne Miller cross a ball to Ashley Egan for the score. “We’ve been able to get on the board early in games but our problem has been maintaining the lead,” said coach Stacey Goffena. Piqua got the tying goal at the 18-minute mark on a backside run. “We battled the remainder of the half trying to get the go-ahead goal but we would just come up short,” said Goffena. “We had several opportunities that we just couldn’t convert. “I thought Lauren Boyd had a great game in the middle and Adrianne stepped up at forward without Morgan there. Lizzie Barr did a great job on the other teams top player,” Goffena said. Goalie Lindsey Sturwold had seven saves.

Shocker: Browns trade Richardson BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Trent Richardson didn’t fit into the Browns’ plans. They’re pushing forward without him. Cleveland traded the powerful running back to the Indianapolis Colts on Wednesday, a stunning move just two games into this season and only one year after drafting Richardson in the first round. Richardson was dealt for a first-round selection in next year’s draft, when the Browns will have two opening-round picks and 10 overall. Cleveland is rebuilding and the team hopes to use those picks — seven in the first four rounds — to help turn around a floundering franchise mired in losing for more than a decade. Such a reversal was what the Browns had in mind when they took Richardson with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2011 draft. The former Alabama star seemed to have it all: power, speed and good hands. But Richardson apparently isn’t the kind of back Cleveland’s front office wants or one for first-year coach Rob Chudzinski’s offensive system. Richardson, who rushed for 950 yards as a rookie despite playing most of last season with two broken ribs, gained just 105 yards on 31 carries in Cleveland’s two losses this season. He lacked the explosiveness the Browns’ new regime was looking for, and it may not have helped that Richardson made it clear he wanted the ball more. However, Browns CEO Joe Banner said that there was nothing negative about Richardson and the team simply seized

on the ground and passed for another 133. “It was nice to get the running game going,” said Doenges. “Jordan made some good reads back there and the line did a good job.” Unfortunately, the win was a costly one for the Jackets. Senior Anthony Yates suffered a broken leg on a 6-yard touchdown pass he caught against West Carrollton and is out at least six weeks, according to Doenges. Doenges has 12 receptions for 129 yards this season, and is also an excellent punter for the Jackets. But Doenges said there’s more to him this year. “Losing him hurts. He’s a three-year starter at wide receiver and punter, and we started using him at middle linebacker, too,” said the coach. “We wanted him to share time there with Jordan (Fox) and he was playing well. So now we’re back to square one. We have to find other guys to fill in.”

an opportunity to improve. And the Colts have been looking for a back since Vick Ballard suffered a season-ending knee injury. “This was more about the moment presented itself, and based on the situation the Colts found themselves in, it wasn’t something where we could say, ‘Can you wait three weeks to think about this or

learn more?’ We thought it was a move to make us better. Banner said the Browns’ first conversation with Indianapolis about Richardson was on Tuesday. Banner said the team is not looking to make other trades, but would be willing to listen if it could make them better. “I think we feel good about where we’re at moving forward,” Banner said. The shocking trade came on the same day Chudzinski announced that thirdstring quarterback Brian Hoyer will start Sunday against Minnesota. Hoyer got the surprising nod over backup Jason Campbell to fill in for starter Brandon Weeden, who is sidelined with a sprained right thumb. Like Richardson, Weeden’s days could be numbered in Cleveland, where the Browns have started 19 quarterbacks since 1999 and are still looking for the right one. Next year’s draft class includes several top-flight QBs and the Browns could be loading up on picks to make sure they get one. In addition, the Browns are bringing in free agent running back Willis McGahee for a physical and will sign him if he passes. A two-time Pro Bowl pick, McGahee was most recently with Denver. McGahee rushed for 731 yards in 10 games for the Broncos last season. He has also played for Buffalo and Baltimore, gaining 8,097 career yards on 1,957 carries.

Cavs open NWCC play Friday Ken Barhorst

John Husa has been on the receiving end eight times. Rourke has completed 63 percent of his passes, 65-for-104, for 953 yards, and that’s believed to be the third-highest total in the state at this point in the season, according to a Lehman assistant coach. “It was a good win last week,” said Lehman coach Dick Roll. “Nick had a couple balls he shouldn’t have thrown but overall he did a nice job. And we’re spreading it around. Unlike before, when we had a hammer and we’d run him. And there’s nothing wrong with that. And the same goes for our passing game. Right now, it’s working out well. “We still need to get better on the defensive side,” said Roll, whose team is giving up 28 points per game. “We need to be more physical and improve our tackling. Offensively, we still need to improve our running game. The line did a better job last week at run-blocking, so that was good to see. And I think the kids are in pretty good shape. I think we kinda wore them down again last week.” Spearman is having an outstand-

Fresh off impressive back-toback wins that have put them in the early hunt for a Division VII playoff berth, the Lehman Cavaliers turn their attention to the Northwest Central Conference, opening play Friday night at Sidney Memorial Stadium at 7 p.m. against winless Lima Perry. The Cavaliers bounced back from an opening-night loss at Anna to win over Minster in week two, then over Division IV London last week after a 90-minute bus ride. The new spread offense continues to click, with quarterback Nick Rourke already closing in on 1,000 passing yards for the season after another 300-plus yard performance last week. And with five players having eight or more catches on the season, he has plenty of quality receivers to throw to. Drew Westerheide, last season’s leading receiver, is picking up right where he left off, averaging seven receptions per game, with a yards-per-catch average of 16. Clay Selsor has caught 11 passes and both Greg Spearman and Max Schutt 10 apiece. Running back

ing season so far. Not only is he catching passes, but he rushed for over 100 yards last week and is the leading ground-gainer for the Cavs. In addition, he leads the area in tackles with 50 and in interceptions with three. Lima Perry comes in at 0-3 on the year, having lost 19-13 to Spencerville, 34-0 to Toledo Scott and 35-12 to Ayersville, which is unbeaten. But Roll doesn’t put much emphasis on Perry’s 0-3 mark. “Hey, everyone is a concern and we will never ever overlook anybody,” Roll said. “If we play the way we know how, we’ll be successful. “When I look at Perry on tape, they are similar to our offense,” he continued. “What they’re doing offensively, we didn’t have to spend a lot of time figuring out what they were running. Defensively, they play a 4-3 and on tape it looks like they will blitz and bring a safety on every play. “We have to make plays and we still want to improve our defense,” he summed up. “Our goal is to win the league and make the playoffs, and that starts Friday night.”

Rockets take on 0-3 Versailles Ken Barhorst ANNA — It’s one of those scary weeks for coach Bryan Rioch and his Anna Rockets. Fortunately, sometimes there’s a lot in just a name. The team the Rockets play this week is 0-3. But the name attached to that teams Versailles. Enough said. At least, Rioch hopes so. “I don’t care what their record is,” he said Wednesday as he prepared his squad for its second Midwest Athletic Conference game of the season. “They are a good football team. The teams they’ve played so far are a combined 8-1, and that one loss was Coldwater’s to Kenton (No. 2-ranked team in the state in Division IV). I think it’s going to be close.” The Rockets are coming off a 31-8 win over Fort Recovery last week at home in a game that the Anna defense controlled. “We only gave up 22

yards rushing last week,” he said. “I thought our defensive line did a good job, and our front seven really got after them. Our secondary didn’t have to make many plays.” Offensively, Rioch said he tips his hat to the Fort Recovery coaches and their defensive game plan. Running back extraordinaire Christian Williams got his yards, 139 of them, but they were hard-earned. It took 29 carries. “They did a good job of taking Christian away,” said Rioch. “He had his yards but really had to work hard for it.” When that happens, the Rockets need to be able to throw the ball, and Rioch thought quarterback Josh Robinson rose to the occasion. He was 7-for-15 for 161 yards and two touchdowns against the Indians. “When you watch Josh throw, his release is kinda funky,” said Rioch. “So maybe teams don’t think we can throw the

ball. But I’m not going to overcoach him. He’s a smart kid and he puts the ball where he wants it.” Williams increased his season rushing total to 636 yards, a gaudy 212 yards per game so far. Versailles, meanwhile, will be trying to get in the win column Friday, and will be led onto the field by quarterback Nick Campbell, last year’s MAC offensive player of the year. He’s struggled so far this year against some strong teams. He’s completed 27 of 63 passes, 43 percent, for 309 yards and three touchdowns, while being picked off four times. Damien Richard is his favorite target, with 14 catches for 122 yards so far. Campbell also leads the Tigers in rushing yards with 165. “Campbell is a dangerous runner and passer,” said Rioch. “I think they will be like us, like Delphos and Marion. They will line up in the I

and try to run off tackle, but they have the ability to get into the spread and run that too. Defensively, they play a base 4-3 and get after it. They’re coached up defensively and play hard. “I think they will try to to get Campbell as many touches as possible, but nothing will shock me,” Rioch added. The Rockets lost a key player to injury last week in six-foot, 190pound senior Jordan Suthers, who Rioch said has “stinger issues” and will likely miss this week. “He’s one of our defensive ends and one of our captains,” Rioch said. “It’s a big deal. He’s everything I want players to be. He’s tough, he’s a hard worker, and he’s a leader.” NOTE: Anna fans will be able to watch a replay of Friday’s game on Time-Warner Cable Channel 311/1311HD. The game will be shown Friday night starting at 11 p.m.

Redskins expect a lot of passing Ken Barhorst FORT LORAMIE — The Fort Loramie Redskins may be without two key starters Friday night when they try to bounce back at home from a loss last week to Defiance Tinora. They host the 3-0 Ada Bulldogs. Quarterback Tyler Kazmaier and running back Logan McGee were both injured in the loss to Tinora last week, and head Redskin coach Matt Burgbacher is making plans to play without them Friday against the state’s No. 9-ranked Division VI team. “Logan’s status is up in the air and Tyler is probably a weekly thing,” said Burgbacher. “We still don’t know. We’re probably not going to have him (Kazmaier) this week. But before the season started, the one thing we liked was our depth. You don’t want to be without any starters, but we

feel we have some depth this year. Andy Grewe was competing for the starting quarterback job so we’ll feel very comfortable with him back there.” The Redskins lost to a good Tinora team last week 35-21 at home to drop to 2-1 on the season. “I knew they were a good football team,” said Burgbacher. “And I told everyone that. But I think they were even better than I thought. They were very disciplined and very good at what they did. And before we knew it, we were down 14 points. It knocked us back to reality but it was good to see a team like Tinora. It was a good game for our kids, and they’ve responded well this week. We’ve had three great practices.” Ada is 3-0 on the season under new head coach Bob Olwin, who was recently the head coach at Versailles. The

Former champ Ken Norton dies LAS VEGAS (AP) — Former heavyweight champion Ken Norton, who beat Muhammad Ali and then lost a controversial decision to him in Yankee Stadium, has died. His son says he passed away Wednesday at a local care facility. He was 70. Norton had been in poor health for the last several years after suffering a series of strokes, a friend of his said. Gene Kilroy, who was Ali’s former business manager, says he’s sure Norton is “in heaven now with all the great fighters,” and Kilroy would like to hear that conversation. Norton broke Ali’s jaw in their first fight, beating him by split decision in 1973 in a non-title fight in San Diego. They fought six months later, and Ali narrowly won a split decision. They met for a third time on Sept. 28, 1976, at Yankee Stadium and Ali narrowly won to keep his heavyweight title.

Bulldogs will play a wide-open style. “They basically are running the same offense they ran under their last coach,” said Burgbacher. “So they didn’t have to learn anything new. They have a very good quarterback and most of their offensive line back from last year. We’re going to have to play fundamentally sound football and be disciplined. And we have to take care of the ball.” Burgbacher expects Ada to throw the ball a lot Friday night. “One thing I know about coach Olwin is he has one or two running plays in his offensive scheme and that’s it,” said Burgbacher. “He’s always looking to throw. This will be a good test for our team and where we’re at. I said before the season that we would find out where we’re at at the end of week four.”

Lehman 3rd in NWCC tourney KENTON — Lehman was third in the Northwest Central Conference Boys Golf Tournament held Wednesday at Kenton Memorial Golf Course. The Cavaliers finished with a 388 to tie Lima Perry for second place behind Upper Scioto Valley, which finished with a 385. Perry took second on the fifth-man scorecard. Devon Mouser of Ridgemont was the tournament medalist with an 85. Lehman’s low scores were 88 by Mitchell Shroyer and a 91 by Sam Dean. Riverside was led by Landon Kelsey with a 94. Final team standings — 1. Upper Scioto Valley 385, 2. Lima Perry 388, 3. Lehman 388, 4. Lima Temple Christian 389, 5. Ridgemont 413, 6. Riverside 419, 7. Waynesfield-Goshen 427.

Statement Win Matt Kenseth scores win in first Chase race, solidifies favorite status By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor

After the controversial week NASCAR endured, a return to normalcy was welcome. And what better represents normalcy this season than a Matt Kenseth win? Kenseth tallied his series-leading sixth triumph of the season on Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway, where the sport kicked off its 10race playoff in the GEICO 400. While Kenseth’s performance in his inaugural jaunt with Joe Gibbs Racing has been far from dominant, it has been as close as any one driver and team have come. The 14-year Cup veteran, along with teammate Kyle Busch (four wins) and rival Jimmie Johnson (four), have combined for 14 wins in the series’ 27 events. The three entered NASCAR’s Chase occupying the top three spots in the standings, and they remained there after Kenseth’s win, Busch’s runner-up and Johnson’s fifth-place showing. “I think you have to be really good everywhere to be able to win a championship,” said Kenseth, who has five wins on intermediate tracks and one on a half-mile oval in 2013. “I’m really enjoying this win. It’s been a record season for me (six wins). I’m obviously the same guy, the same driver — it’s about Joe Gibbs Racing, the guys working there, Jason (Ratcliff, crew chief) and the group.” The day got off to an inauspicious start, as the green flag was delayed for over an hour due to rain. Once racing began, Kenseth, who qualified 10th, took the lead on lap 83 and remained on point for 35 of the next 36 laps. However, his “real-time” on point lasted over five hours, as rain brought the race to a halt on lap 109. When Kenseth led the field to green just past 10:00 p.m. EST, the complexion of the race changed. Seven engine failures — including those of Chasers Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Joey Logano — slowed the pace and found multiple cars leading laps as green- and yellow-flag pit stops shuffled the running order. In the end, the two best cars — Kenseth’s No. 20 and Busch’s No. 18 JGR Toyotas — battled for the win. And the final restart on lap 245 cemented the victory for the former, who lined up along Busch but used a shot of on-track momentum from Kevin Harvick to sail by and assume the lead for good off of Turn 2. “That push from Kevin got us

It was a long, difficult eight days in NASCAR. At the precise moment when the sport should have been hitting on all cylinders, it misfired, stumbling off the starting grid in its ramp-up to CEO Brian France’s coup de maître: The Chase for the Championship. Manipulated outcomes in last Saturday’s transfer race at Richmond; penalties that kicked one driver out of the Chase and waived another in; a second round of under-the-table dealings at Richmond which ultimately opened the door for a 13th Chase participant; a vague and subjective “100 percent” edict; restart and communication rules revisions and a rainsoaked Sunday in Joliet, Ill., that found a France family-owned racetrack priced out of NASCAR’s

It’s a lot like a big Martinsville and offers some of the more exciting racing from the teams’ perspective. Track position is still the order of the day there, and if four or five teams hit on a setup early in practice or unload just right, they’re probably going to be tough to beat. It’s just hard to adjust on the car — probably because it’s only 300-something miles. I think it’s a good track to have in the Chase because it offers something really different.” NATIONWIDE SERIES

out in front where we really needed to be,” said Kenseth, who cruised to a .749-second win. Nine of the top-12 finishing spots went to Chase drivers. Kenseth, Kyle Busch, Harvick, Kurt Busch, Johnson and Jeff Gordon comprised the top six. Clint Bowyer, Ryan Newman, Carl Edwards and Kasey Kahne finished ninth-12th. Brad Keselowski and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. were seventh and eighth, respectively. The week and the weekend was a controversial one for the sanctioning body. On Monday, it penalized Michael Waltrip Racing’s three teams, which knocked Martin Truex Jr. out of the Chase, for manipulating the outcome of last Saturday’s Richmond race. Newman, in turn, was ceded Truex’s Chase slot. On Saturday, just minutes before Sprint Cup practice, NASCAR held a closed-door meeting with the drivers, crew chiefs and team principles. CEO Brian France, President Mike Helton and Vice President of Competition Robin Pemberton then announced to the media the shocking and extraordinary decision to expand this season’s Chase from 12 to 13 drivers by adding Jeff Gordon. This decision was made, in part, due to radio transmissions discovered during the week between Penske Racing and Front Row Motorsports that added further questions to the legitimacy of the competition at Richmond, and thus, the make-up of the Chase field. NASCAR also announced revisions to its current rules that address how teams assist competitors in-race. “(The) technical bulletin ad-

dresses the subject of teams artificially altering the outcome of a race and the level of reaction that this will receive from NASCAR,” Pemberton said. “We reinforced this issue to the teams in our meeting and conveyed what is considered unacceptable in our officiating of the event.” In addition, NASCAR modified its restart rules and made changes to the teams’ spotters and in-race communication, limiting each team to one spotter and eliminating digital communications within the teams. The announcements — particularly the expansion of the Chase field — were met with confusion from the media, fanbase and even some competitors. “I’m not even sure what to say at this point,” Truex told USA Today Sports. “I’m kind of at a loss for words. They (NASCAR) kick me out to make a spot for somebody and then they don’t do the same for the other guys. It’s just unfair and (there’s) nothing I can do about it.” Earnhardt, Gordon’s Hendrick Motorsports teammate, was also scratching his head. “I was probably just as surprised as anybody that anything happened, because we’re so far into the week,” Earnhardt said on Saturday. “It’s just really extraordinary and unprecedented. I don’t know what’s fair anymore, you know what I mean?” Even Gordon’s protégé, Johnson, was at a loss: “Through all of this, we’re all just looking for consistency. “I’m very happy that Jeff is in the Chase, but in my opinion, there should be 12 cars. One in, one out should be the deal. It’s not.”

NASCAR nightmare speaks to fatigue, greed By MATT TALIAFERRO

newest, much-ballyhooed innovation: the Air Titan. To say this season’s playoff showcase is off to a rough start would be an understatement. At the same time, NFL-mania has again swept the nation, with millions of fans vested not only in the performance of their favorite team, but specific players on their personal fantasy squad. The NFL kicks off religiously on Sundays at 1:00 p.m. EST. NASCAR’s Sunday race coverage starts at noon. Or 1:30. Or 2:00. Or 3:00. It kind of depends on the location. The rules, the drama, the random start times, the double-talk ... the lumbering nature of it all. It speaks to fatigue. NASCAR was once wild, outlaw fun. It was a niche and cool. Now it’s more than a bit aloof. It’s gone corporate, and the money she’s-aflowin’ ... so much so that the right pocket wants to charge the left. And

as the great motorsports journalist Ed Hinton once wrote, “Greed does not regress.” It needs to, though. The season should be shortened. “In on Valentine’s Day, out on Labor Day” seems about right. If there is a 300-pound gorilla in the room, run away from it. Be out before the NFL is in. Rules should not be re-written as events unfold and — most important — fans should not be patronized. Those long, difficult eight days — possibly NASCAR’s longest — may forever change the sport. But it doesn’t have to be for the worse. Common sense, a broad perspective and a dose of genuine benevolence from the leadership could return the sport to its glory. But the trajectory has been set; there’ll be no turning back. How can there be? Corporate America has bought in and the suits have sold out.

Classic Moments New Hampshire Motor Speedway If Joey Logano has an affinity for rain, you can’t blame him. After all, it was rain — and a little luck — that played the biggest role in helping the young driver score NASCAR Sprint Cup Series career victory No. 1 in the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in June 2009. With the skies growing darker and looming showers threatening to end the race early, crew chief Greg Zipadelli made the gutsy call to leave Logano on the track in the final laps, at the risk of running out of fuel. When Ryan Newman hit pit road, it handed the lead to Logano, who was being coached to save fuel. The move paid off, as the Connecticut native was still out front when rain halted the proceedings for good on lap 273 of the scheduled 301. Logano became the youngest winner in Sprint Cup Series history at 19 years, 1 month, 4 days — more than a year sooner than Kyle Busch, who went to Victory Lane at Fontana in 2005 at 20 years, 4 months, 2 days.

Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Hard to look past Jimmie Johnson’s three wins and 16 top 10s in 23 starts at NHMS. Pretty Solid Pick: With three wins at NHMS and a team carrying a ton of momentum, Kurt Busch will be a force. Good Sleeper Pick: Seeing Jeff Burton — with his four NHMS wins — go out on a high note at RCR would be cool. Runs on Seven Cylinders: This has never been Matt Kenseth’s favorite stop, but that may change with Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin sharing their notes. Insider Tip: New Hampshire is the type of track where a couple teams unload with a great setup and are tough to beat over the course of the weekend. Pay close attention to Friday and Saturday test sessions.
