Catholic Church obsessed by ‘small-minded rules’ Nicole Winfield and Rachel Zoll Associated Press

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Signaling a dramatic shift in Vatican tone, Pope Francis said the Catholic Church had become obsessed by “smallminded rules� about how to be faithful and that pastors should instead emphasize compassion over condemnation when discussing divisive social issues of abortion, gays and contraception. The pope’s remarkably blunt message six months into his papacy was sure to reverberate in the U.S. and around the globe as bishops

who have focused much of their preaching on such hotbutton issues are asked to act more as pastors of wounded souls. In interviews published Thursday in Jesuit journals in 16 countries, Francis said he had been “reprimanded� for not pressing church opposition to abortion in his papacy. But he said “it is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time.� “The church’s pastoral ministry cannot be obsessed with the transmission of a disjointed multitude of doctrines to be imposed insistently,� Francis said.

Chamber to add Community Calendar NEW BREMEN — The Southwestern Auglaize County Chamber of Commerce has added a new feature to its website at www.auglaize.org, a Community Calendar. “One of the most common phone calls we receive at the chamber is a request for information about a local event or activity,” said Scott Frey, executive director. “Folks look to the chamber to provide information on local events, activities, and organizations. So, it makes sense for us to try to be the best source possible for that information.” Frey noted that adding this function to the website will give residents 24-hour access

to information about events and activities in the Golden Triangle. “We’ve had several requests from the community for the chamber to act as a central place for this type of information,” said Frey. “It just makes sense, with our contacts in each community that we could publish information in a calendar that would cover the communities we serve.” Administrative Assistant Stephanie Burkard will be posting events to the new online Community Calendar. Frey noted that chamber website traffic continues to increase as more residents realize the wealth of information

available on the site. “We have a full business directory listing of all our members, that includes their contact information and the type of business they are in,” said Frey. “We’ve made banner advertising available and several members have invested in that program. Increasing traffic to the site by being the go-to place for local information makes sense as a service to the community, and makes sense for our members to market their organizations.” “We have always featured chamber-memberspecific events on the site and we will continue to do that on the home page and on the Chamber Events

page,” said Frey. “Now we’ll have a separate calendar for communitywide events, open to anyone in the community.” Simply send an email to the chamber (info@auglaize.org) with your event information and it will be posted it to the website within a day or two. You can also mail your information to P.O. Box 3, New Bremen, OH 45869 and your information will be posted once it has been reviewed. The Southwestern Auglaize County Chamber of Commerce reserves the right not to post a particular event or activity on its website as a matter of appropriate content, etc.

been handled by the administration in accordance to the board-adopted student code of conduct. “The administration is continuing its investigation related to the personnel issues for coaches. No discipline action will be taken on the personnel issue until the investigation is complete.” Superintendent Steve Mascho said the board discussed public record laws during the open portion of the Wednesday meeting. The board then went into executive session to discuss employee discipline and to redact the name of an individual. No action was taken, he said. Investigation into the alleged hazing began June 27, said Lt. John Dunbar of the Findlay Police Department. The incident occurred over the weekend of June 21-23 at a basketball camp at the University of Findlay. “All parties, including students and school personnel, were cooperative and forthcoming with information,” said Dunbar. “We took two months to investigate this case, which is not unusual or out of the ordinary. Actually, since the detective had to make several out-oftown trips, I believe the case was wrapped up rather quickly.” Following the police investigation, the case was turned over to the Hancock County Juvenile Prosecutor’s Office on Aug. 26. Prosecutor Mark Miller said this week that “nothing has been filed at this point” and that his office is reviewing the case to see if charges

are applicable. The emergency Fairlawn Board meeting was called in part due to a public records request filed by the Sidney Daily News, seeking documents related to the case. After the meeting, Mascho released a statement noting “the Fairlawn Local Schools will not be releasing any student information related to the incident that occurred in Findlay, even when redacted, while the criminal investigation of juveniles is ongoing. Until the issue is concluded through the prosecutor’s office of Findlay and/ or Hancock County, the school district does not believe…(it) is (in) the best interest of the juvenile students and/or their families to release this information.” Mascho did say the coaches who accompanied the boys to Findlay for the camp included Justin Tidwell, head basketball coach; Dennis Davis, junior varsity coach; and Dustin Oates, freshman basketball coach. “No other chaperones accompanied the players to the basketball camp,” Mascho stated. Dunbar released a statement describing what took place during the alleged hazing. It one case, a boy “was held down by two or three other boys and had a plastic bottle with liquid thrown at him. This bottle struck the boy below the waistline” and the boy allegedly “suffered an injury.” At a recent Fairlawn Board of Education meeting, two parents attended to voice their opinions about the situation and how it was

handled by the school. One of the parents was Shelly Swiger. “I’m an angry parent. I think this was foolish fooling around,” she said. She expressed concern that coaches were not present to prevent the incident. “They were at a so-called teacher’s meeting” she said, stating that the coaches left the students “at 10 something at night….left 16 or 17 boys there alone. There were no chaperones there.” She said it was “1 or 1:30 in the morning” before the coaches returned. The Sidney mother, who “open enrolls” her son at Fairlawn, said, “These were really good kids. None of these kids have ever been in any trouble. They make good grades.” John Charlton, Associate Director of Communications for the Ohio Department of Education (ODE), told the Sidney Daily News that all schools are required to have a policy on bullying and harassment and that schools must report incidents such as hazing. “The ODE is first and foremost concerned with the safety and education of the students in Ohio,” Charlton said. He noted that coaches, even if they are volunteers, “have to have a pupil activity license” with the State of Ohio and could lose the license if they do not appropriately carry out their duties as chaperones or coaches.

Children killed in trailer fire laid to rest TIFFIN (AP) — A mother who lost her five children and boyfriend in a mobile home fire described the youngsters with a single word: smiley, a minister said Thursday. Anna Angel’s four daughters ages 6, 5, 4, and 3 were laid to rest in a single casket following their funeral Thursday. Her youngest child was to be buried with his father later Thursday, following a second funeral in Sandusky. All six died early Sunday morning when the fire swept through their mobile home in Tiffin. Angel was working at her fast-food job when the fire broke out. The children — Tiara Angel, 6; Stormie Huey, 5; Trinitie Huey, 4; Sunshine Huey, 3; and Domonic Fresch, 1 — all had unique personalities and were

always happy, said Pastor Mark Boedeker of First Lutheran Church, who officiated at the first funeral. Boedeker said Angel recalled that her children were always smiling, The (Tiffin) Advertiser-Tribune reported. “Even though each of their candles have been extinguished, their light still shines, their flame still burns,” he told mourners. “I know that all five of them are joined in heaven hand-in-hand and are skipping and laughing and being smiley.” Following the burial, many of the mourners drove 30 miles to Sandusky for the funeral of Domonic and his father, 25-year-old Timothy Fresch, who also died in the mobile home he shared with Angel and

Football player appeals sex-offender status COLUMBUS (AP) — One of the two Ohio high school football players convicted this year of raping a 16-year-old girl is appealing his sex-offender classification. A judge gave 17-yearold Ma’Lik Richmond the state’s second-toughest classification, meaning he has to register as a sex offender every six months for 20 years. Unlike adult sex offenders, Richmond’s name won’t be included on publicly accessible websites, and he can request

to have the classification removed later based on his rehabilitation. The appeal was filed last week. The public defender handling it said Thursday she couldn’t comment without Richmond’s permission. Richmond and codefendant Trent Mays were convicted of raping the West Virginia girl last year after an alcoholfueled party. The case has been furiously debated online and led to allegations of a cover-up to protect the team.

Brazil: New trial begins in 2005 killing of U.S. nun RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The latest in a series of trials has begun for a landowner convicted of ordering the 2005 slaying of American nun and Amazon defender Dorothy Stang. Vitalmiro Bastos de Moura has been tried three times and sentenced to between 29 and 30 years in prison, but his lawyers appealed and the Supreme Court annulled Moura’s latest conviction, saying he wasn’t given enough time to prepare his defense during the 2010 trial. Prosecutors contend that Moura and another rancher hired gunmen to kill Stang, who was born in Dayton, Ohio. The defense contends there isn’t enough evidence linking Moura to the crime. Thursday’s proceedings are taking place in Belem, the capital of the violence-wracked Amazonian state of Para. A verdict is expected by the end of the day.

her children. The deaths have shaken the rural community, about 50 miles southeast of Toledo Organizers of a fund to help Angel pay for the funerals and other expenses had raised about $16,000 for the family within two days of the fire. Well-known rappers The Game and Drake pledged to donate another $22,500 after hearing about what happened. An anonymous donor offered to give Angel a used car after it became known that the family did not have enough money for a car. Neighbors said 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.

The funeral procession for four children killed in a mobile home fire arrives at Greenlawn Cemetery Thursday in Tiffin. The four young girls were laid to rest in a single casket. The youngest victim of the fire will be buried with his father Thursday afternoon.

Ohio board OKs Medicaid proposal as ballot issue Ann Sanner Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — Supporters of expanding Medicaid can begin collecting signatures in a campaign that could put the issue before Ohio voters next year, after a state panel cleared their proposal Thursday. The decision from the Ohio Ballot Board is the latest step for the group Healthy Ohioans Work. The coalition of health advocates, labor groups and others wants to see the state extend the health program to cover more low-income Ohioans under the federal health care law. State lawmakers have been trying to find common ground on Medicaid expansion since Republican Gov. John Kasich proposed it in February. GOP leaders

pulled the idea from the state budget, and the issue has yet to gain traction. Supporters say they would prefer that the General Assembly pass Medicaid expansion than to put the issue on the ballot. “This is Plan B for ballot,” said Matthew Koppitch, legislative liaison for the Service Employees International Union, District 1199. “We’re still going to be engaging the Legislature as well.” Lawmakers are slated to return the Statehouse next month after a summer break. Health Ohioans Work must clear several steps to be successful with their campaign. Supporters must gather 115,574 valid signatures from registered voters by late December. The General Assembly would then have four months to act on their proposed law.

If legislators pass, amend or take no action, then a supplemental petition may be circulated to get the issue before Ohio voters in November 2014. Medicaid expansion is one of the key components of Democratic President Barack Obama’s health care law. Roughly 366,000 Ohioans would be newly eligible for coverage beginning in 2014 by expanding Medicaid. The federal-state program for the poor and disabled already provides care for one of every five residents in the state. Washington would pay the entire cost of the expansion for the first three years, gradually phasing down to 90 percent — still well above Ohio’s current level of almost 64 percent.

Two lawmakers back natural gas conversions CLEVELAND (AP) — Two state lawmakers want to offer tax credits to convert cars and trucks to burn both gasoline and natural gas. Reps. Sean J. O’Brien, a Democrat from Hubbard in Trumbull County, and David Hall, a Republican from Millersburg in Holmes County, are preparing legislation to give

state tax credits to back conversions or to buy an alternative fuel option vehicle. The proposal was developed with the assistance of an industry group. The measure, which is awaiting introduction, also would create a multimillion-dollar loan program to finance refu-

eling equipment as companies convert fleets of vehicles. The credit would pay for up to 50 percent of the cost of conversion, which is $5,000 to $10,000 for cars and light-duty trucks and up to $40,000 for large trucks. According to The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer,

the cost of compressed natural gas is now priced at an average of about $2.00 gallon, compared with an average gasoline price of $3.50 and diesel closer to $4 per gallon. At least 11 states, including Indiana, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Kentucky, have such natural gas incentive programs.

Nation/World Today in History The Associated Press

Today is Friday, Sept. 20, the 263rd day of 2013. There are 102 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 20, 1962, James Meredith, a black student, was blocked from enrolling at the University of Mississippi by Democratic Gov. Ross R. Barnett. (Meredith was later admitted.) On this date: In 1519, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan and his crew set out from Spain on five ships to find a western passage to the Spice Islands. (Magellan was killed enroute, but one of his ships eventually circled the world.) In 1870, Italian troops took control of the Papal States, leading to the unification of Italy. In 1873, panic swept the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in the wake of railroad bond defaults and bank failures. In 1884, the National Equal Rights Party was formed during a convention of suffragists in San Francisco; the convention nominated Belva Ann Bennett Lockwood for president. In 1911, the British liner RMS Olympic collided with the Royal Navy cruiser HMS Hawke off the Isle of Wight; although seriously damaged, the Olympic was able to return to Southampton under its own power. In 1947, former New York City Mayor Fiorello La Guardia died. In 1958, Martin Luther King Jr. was seriously wounded during a book signing at a New York City department store when Izola Curry stabbed him in the chest. (Curry was later found mentally incompetent.) In 1967, the Cunard liner RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 was christened by Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II in Clydebank, Scotland. In 1973, in their so-called battle of the sexes, tennis star Billie Jean King defeated Bobby Riggs in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3, 6-3, at the Houston Astrodome. In 1979, Jean-Bedel Bokassa, self-styled head of the Central African Empire, was overthrown in a Frenchsupported coup while on a visit to Libya. In 1980, Spectacular Bid, ridden by Bill Shoemaker, ran as the only entry in the Woodward Stakes at Belmont Park in New York after three potential challengers dropped out in horse racing’s first walkover since 1949.

Out of the Blue

Missing: 1 millionaire MADRID (AP) - A Spanish city is seeking a missing millionaire. Somebody bought a lottery ticket in the northern city of La Coruna that won 4.7 million euros ($6.3 million) - but lost the ticket in the shop. After failed attempts to track the winner down, the city is now making a public plea for the buyer to step forward. Fortune hunters beware: Anybody trying to claim the prize will have to prove knowing where and when the ticket was purchased. The ticket for the June 30, 2012, drawing was found in one of the city’s authorized lottery agency outlets by another customer, who handed it to the manager of the store. The manager informed authorities, who are now publicizing the story to get leads. The city this week released an official notice about the ticket on its website list of lost-and-found items such as cellphones, keys and wallets. “I’ll be the first Spanish mayor who’s searching for a millionaire not to ask for money but to give it,” La Coruna Mayor Carlos Negreira joked in a statement. Authorities are not revealing where the ticket was bought or the time of purchase so that they can question people claiming to be the owner, and try to determine whether they’re telling the truth. Like many Spanish cities, La Coruna has dozens of lottery outlets.

‘Obamacare’ showdown nears David Espo

AP Special Correspondent

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional Republicans struggled to tamp down a family feud Thursday as they approached a politically charged showdown with the White House that combines the threat of a government shutdown, a possible first-ever federal default and the GOP’s bid to repeal the nation’s threeyear-old health care law. One day after conceding that the Democratic-controlled Senate probably would prevail on the last part, Sen. Ted Cruz still vowed to do “everything and anything possible to defund Obamacare.” That includes a possible filibuster of legislation to prevent a partial government shutdown, added the Texas Republican. That was a step further than Sen. Mike Lee of Utah — Cruz’s partner in a summertime run of “Defund Obamacare” television commercials — was willing to go. President Barack Obama’s health care law “is not worth causing a shutdown over,” he said.

The two men spoke at a news conference with several House Republicans where lawmakers stressed they were unified and thanked Speaker John Boehner for agreeing to tie the antishutdown and anti-Obamacare provisions into one bill. That bill is on track for House passage on Friday, with a Senate showdown to follow. The House intends to move quickly next week with a separate bill to put the health care law on ice, this one a measure that also would allow the Treasury to avoid a default that could destabilize the economy. Boehner himself sought to redirect the political fire at Obama, accusing him of being ready to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin over Syria but not engage with Republicans on raising the nation’s debt limit, an issue that could lead to national default. But he also got in a subtle jab at Cruz and Senate conservatives who have been clamoring for weeks for a showdown on the health care law. “I expect my Senate col-

leagues to be up for the battle,” he said. The prospect is for a 10-day period of intense uncertainty, with Boehner pledging to avoid a shutdown yet also hoping to come away with a bite out of the health care law, even if less than complete defunding. Congressional aides pointed out during the day, for example, that if the Senate rewrites the House-passed bill to leave the health care law in place, Boehner and the rest of the House leadership could still seek further changes before passing it a second time. For their part, the White House and majority Democrats in the Senate will be trying to protect the health care law that stands as Obama’s signature domestic accomplishment — without complicating the reelection chances of senators on the 2014 ballot in swing states. The White House intruded briefly on the Republican feud, pledging that Obama would veto any legislation that blocks the health care law from taking full effect. The defunding drive

“advances a narrow ideological agenda that threatens our economy and the interests of the middle class” and would deny “millions of hard-working, middle-class families the security of affordable health coverage,” it said. The effort seeking virtual repeal of the law as part of a government funding bill gained powerful momentum over the summer when the Senate Conservatives Fund, Heritage Action and other groups with tea party ties launched a nationwide campaign. Cruz and Lee played prominent roles, each appearing in television ads aimed at pressuring Republican lawmakers not to yield. “Republicans in Congress can stop Obamacare if they simply refuse to fund it,” Lee says in one SCF-funded commercial. On the other hand, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has urged Republicans to fund the government and prevent a default, then double back and try and work out changes to the health care law later.

House votes to cut $4B a year from food stamps Mary Clare Jalonick Associated Press

Smoke rises after a TNT bomb was thrown from a helicopter, hitting a rebel position during heavy fighting between troops loyal to president Bashar Assad and opposition fighters, in the neighbouring village of Kafr Nabuda, in the Idlib province countryside, Syria, Thursday. Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday called on the U.N. General Assembly to move swiftly to approve a U.S.-Russia deal to eliminate Syria’s chemical weapons, saying there is no time to argue with those who remain unconvinced that the Syrian regime carried out a chemical attack last month that killed hundreds.

Al-Qaida militants capture town in northern Syria

Bassem Mroue and Zeina Karam Associated Press

BEIRUT (AP) — Al-Qaida militants seized a town near the Turkish border Thursday after expelling Western-backed rebels from the area, demonstrating the growing power of jihadis as they seek to expand their influence across opposition-held Syrian territory. The infighting — now engulfing many parts of northern Syria — threatened to further split opposition forces outgunned by President Bashar Assad’s troops and strengthen his hand as he engages with world powers on relinquishing his chemical weapons. Opposition forces who had been hoping that U.S.-led military strikes would help tip the balance in the civil war are growing increasingly desperate after the Obama administration shelved those plans in favor of a diplomatic solution. Many rebels blame jihadis in their ranks for the West’s reluctance to intervene militarily in Syria or give them the advanced weapons they need. There is also growing concern

that the dominant role the extremists are playing is discrediting the rebellion. Yet the jihadis, including members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, an al-Qaida offshoot, have been some of the most effective forces on the battlefield, fighting alongside the Western-backed Free Syrian Army to capture military facilities, strategic installations and key neighborhoods in cities such as Aleppo and Homs. But the two sides have turned their guns on each other. Turf wars and retaliatory killings have evolved into ferocious battles in what has effectively become a war within a war in northern and eastern Syria, leaving hundreds dead on both sides. “The moderates realized that they’re losing a lot of territory to the Islamists and jihadi fighters, and so they’re more desperate,” said Aaron Zelin, a fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. The battles for control of Azaz, a town only few kilometers from the Turkish border, represents some of the worst infighting in recent months.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House has voted to cut nearly $4 billion a year from food stamps, a 5 percent reduction to the nation’s main feeding program used by more than 1 in 7 Americans. The 217-210 vote was a win for conservatives after Democrats united in opposition and some GOP moderates said the cut was too high. The bill’s savings would be achieved by allowing states to put broad new work requirements in place for many food stamp recipients and to test applicants for drugs. The bill also would end government waivers that have allowed able-bodied adults without dependents to receive food stamps indefinitely. House conservatives, led by Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., have said the almost $80 billion-a-year program has become bloated. More than 47 million Americans are now on food stamps, and the program’s cost more than doubled in the last five years as the economy struggled through the Great Recession. Democrats said the rise in the rolls during tough economic times showed the program was doing its job. Finding a compromise — and the votes — to scale back the feeding program has been difficult. The conservatives have insisted on larger cuts, Democrats

opposed any cuts and some moderate Republicans from areas with high food stamp usage have been wary of efforts to slim the program. Republican leaders emphasized that the bill targets able-bodied adults who don’t have dependents. And they say the broader work requirements in the bill are similar to the 1996 welfare law that led to a decline in people receiving that government assistance. “This bill is designed to give people a hand when they need it most,” Cantor said on the floor just before the bill passed. “And most people don’t choose to be on food stamps. Most people want a job … They want what we want.” The new work requirements proposed in the bill would allow states to require 20 hours of work activities per week from any able-bodied adult with a child over age 1 if that person has child care available. The requirements would be applicable to all parents whose children are over age 6 and attending school. The legislation is the House’s effort to finish work on a wide-ranging farm bill, which has historically included both farm programs and food stamps. The House Agriculture Committee approved a combined bill earlier this year, but it was defeated on the floor in June after conservatives revolted, saying the cuts to food stamps weren’t high enough. That bill included around $2 billion in cuts annually.

Pope From page 1 “We have to find a new balance; otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards, losing the freshness and fragrance of the Gospel,” the pope said in the 12,000-word article, based on interviews conducted by a fellow Jesuit, the Rev. Antonio Spadaro, editor of La Civilta Cattolica, a Rome journal for the religious order. “The church sometimes has locked itself up in small things, in small-minded rules,” Francis said. “The most important thing is the first proclamation: Jesus Christ has saved you. And the ministers of the church must be ministers of mercy above all.” The comments contained no change in church teaching, and the pope said reform should not happen quickly. Still, it was the pope’s clearest declaration yet of a break in tone and style from his immediate predecessors. John Paul II and Benedict XVI were both intellectuals for whom doctrine was paramount, an orientation that guided the selection of a generation of bishops and cardinals who now face making a dramatic turnabout in how

they preach. The interviews were conducted by Spadaro over three days in August at the Vatican hotel where Francis has chosen to live rather than in the papal apartments. The Vatican vets all content in Civilta Cattolica, and the pope approved the Italian version of the article, which America magazine, the Jesuit journal in the U.S., translated into English. The admonition will especially resonate in the United States, where some bishops have already publicly voiced dismay that Francis hasn’t hammered home church teaching on abortion, contraception and homosexuality — areas of the culture wars where U.S. bishops often put themselves on the front lines. U.S. bishops were behind Benedict’s crackdown on American nuns, who were accused of letting doctrine take a backseat to their social justice work caring for the poor — precisely the priority that Francis is endorsing. “I think what Francis is doing when he’s talking about these hotbutton issues, he’s not saying one side is right or the other side

is right. He’s saying that arguing over these things gets in the way of the work that Catholics are supposed to be doing,” said David Cloutier, a theologian at Mount St. Mary’s University in Maryland. “This suggests a really different vision of what the church should look like in the world. It’s not a defensive vision. He comes out and forthrightly says we don’t have to talk about these issues all the time. I can’t help but see this as a potential rebuke to American leaders who have focused on these issues.” Just last week, Bishop Thomas Tobin of Providence, R.I., said in an interview with his diocesan newspaper that he was “a little bit disappointed” that Francis hadn’t addressed abortion since being elected. But Carol Tobias, president of the National Right to Life Committee, said Francis’ comments on abortion do not indicate any change in the church’s commitment to the issue. “Pope Francis is reminding us that when we discuss the issue of abortion, we are not talking about some abstract issue or procedure.

Rather, we’re talking about situations that involve mothers and their unborn children, and we must be mindful to help them both — something the right-tolife movement works to do every day,” Tobias said. Two months ago, Francis caused a sensation during a news conference when he was asked about gay priests. “Who am I to judge?” about the sexual orientation of priests, as long as they are searching for God and have good will, he responded. Francis noted in the latest interview that he had merely repeated Catholic doctrine during that news conference — though he again neglected to repeat church teaching that says while homosexuals should be treated with dignity and respect, homosexual acts are “intrinsically disordered.” But he continued: “A person once asked me, in a provocative manner, if I approved of homosexuality. I replied with another question: ‘Tell me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?’”

BROOKLYN — Tamara and Sean Johnson, of Brooklyn, have announced the birth of a daughter, Rylee Elizabeth, born Sept. 3, 2013, at 12:41 a.m. in the Fairview Hospital in Cleveland. She weighed 8 pounds, 5 ounces, and was 20 inches long. Her maternal grandparents are Donald and Renee Zumberger, of Russia. Her paternal grandparents are Thomas and Coleen Johnson, of Olmsted Falls.

Center director, said she wanted to offer massage therapy for cancer patients in the new center as part of their care. Putting the program together and finding the right therapist took some time, she said, adding she’s pleased with the program so far. “We knew massage therapy would help our patients. It relieves stress and anxiety and helps them with pain control, all of the things to help provide relief from side effects from treatment,” Heath said. Nelson has been a massage therapist for 14 years. “The patients are uplifting. I think these patients have found a new lease on life. They know what it truly means to live now,” she said “The experience for me is it is extremely rewarding. I get just as much out of the therapy as they do, maybe even more.” For information, call 937440-4820.

ROACH: I have a question about calcium that wasn’t in a recent column on that subject. I understand that our bodies cannot absorb more than 500 mg of calcium at a time, so how much time has to pass between doses when the doctor prescribes 1,500 mg a day? —M.A.B. ANSWER: Indeed, the body has trouble absorbing more than 500 mg at a time. Although two hours may be long enough, calcium carbonate is absorbed more reliably with food, so taking 500 mg with each meal

would be the best way of taking calcium carbonate. For calcium citrate, food isn’t necessary; you need only wait the two hours after calcium citrate. DEAR DR. ROACH: I have noticed that people spray pesticides inside the house. I have always believed that if it harms the bugs, it will also harm me. Do you think this is so? I live in Florida, where there is a lot of spraying for bugs. —P.J. ANSWER: The companies that make pesticides work hard to find chemicals that are toxic to insects but as harmless as possible to humans. The Environmental Protection Agency carefully regulates both human and environmental toxicity of the chemicals used. The pesticides that are sold commercially have “relatively low” toxicity, which means that, as far as we know, there are minimal short-term and long-term risks.

Normally I wouldn’t we answer the question that get involved, but I’m wor- straight married couples ried about my mother’s often get, “How long have health, which wasn’t quite you two been married?” great to begin with and has Rob and I have been gone downhill since this all together for 17 years, and it’s started. Is there anything I not our fault that we didn’t can do in this situation? — get married many years ago. WORRIED ABOUT MOM Without having to make a DEAR WORRIED: It political statement each time appears your parents made we’re asked, should we sima deal with each other — he ply tack on the number of would live his own life and years we’ve been together

without the benefit of marriage? I’m proud of the time we’ve been a couple, and even prouder that I love Rob as much today as when we first fell for each other. What should the answer be after we tie the knot? — KEN IN THE GOLDEN STATE DEAR KEN: Congratulations on your forthcoming nuptials. The answer you should give is the most accurate one: “Rob and I have been married for (insert the number) years and together for 17 years before that.” To say that is not making a political statement; it’s the unvarnished truth. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been together for 13 years. We live in the country with livestock. I was taught to remove my shoes when I entered my house, especially since I was raised on a farm. My husband wasn’t required to do the same as he was growing up. I have asked him for the last 10 years to kindly take

his shoes off when he comes in so he won’t track dirt, mud, manure, etc. into the house. He absolutely REFUSES. I have explained my reasons repeatedly and told him it hurts my feelings and makes me feel disrespected. He still won’t do it. Can you please tell me why? Am I being too demanding? — TIRED OF WALKING ON GRIT AND POOP DEAR TIRED: I don’t think so. Your reasons for wanting his dirty shoes off seem sensible to me. From where I sit, it appears your husband cares little for your feelings, isn’t concerned about any extra work he creates and stopped listening to you 10 years ago. You have my sympathy, and I sincerely hope he has some virtues that compensate for his selective deafness.

SCOREBOARD CALENDAR High school Indianapolis Colts running back Trent Richardson stretches before his first practice with the NFL football team in Indianapolis Thursday after being traded by the Cleveland Browns to the Colts. AP Photo | Michael Conroy

Browns players shocked by Richardson trade BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The two wooden lockers Trent Richardson used daily were barren, nothing left behind from his short stay with the Browns. Face of the franchise one day. Gone the next. Still somewhat shaken by the new front office’s decision to trade Richardson to the Indianapolis Colts for a first-round draft pick, the few Browns who ventured into the locker room on Thursday expressed shock at the deal, it’s timing and they vowed to move forward in a season not yet three weeks old. “It was a shock to everybody,” receiver Josh Gordon said. “Everyone was in disbelief.” With an eye toward the future, the Browns shipped Richardson, the No. 3 overall pick in 2012 and one of their few players with star magnitude, to the Colts for a selection in next year’s draft. But the alarming move to trade the powerful running back raised a flag for Cleveland’s long-suffering fans, who view the hasty transaction as a sign that Browns’ management is throwing away this season to better align itself for 2014 and beyond. “That’s not even realistic,” linebacker D’Qwell Jackson said. “In this business, there is too

much pressure on everyone to win. I can’t even fathom that.” To offset the loss of Richardson and add depth at running back, the Browns signed free agent Willis McGahee. He spent last season with Denver, leading the Broncos with 731 yards. The nine-year veteran passed his physical as the Browns were practicing, worked out for Cleveland’s coaches and signed his contract. Like everyone, Jackson was caught off guard by Richardson’s trade. Jackson had left the team’s facility and was at home getting a massage Wednesday when he heard. Once the initial shock wore off, Jackson chalked it up to life with the Browns. “I’ve been around here for a long time and I’ve seen a lot happen and that’s one of those deals where it’s out of your hands and out of your control,” he said. “I’m not saying that he’s not a good player. He’s just going to be a good player for another organization, and the powers that be felt like that was the best thing for the team and we’ve got to move forward.” Jackson said there’s no time to dwell on the trade, which came within hours

of the Browns naming third-string quarterback Brian Hoyer their starter Sunday in Minnesota, and wide receiver Greg Little losing his starting job. Hoyer got the nod over backup Jason Campbell to fill in for Brandon Weeden, sidelined with a sprained right thumb. As a captain, Jackson’s duty is to keep his teammates focused. “I think in the locker room, guys will talk about it for today and then we’ve got work to do,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of studying to do, a lot of film to watch, we’re trying to get the first win. So, yeah, it’s going to be in the back of our minds. We wish Trent the best of luck. But we’ve still got a job to do. “We have to put our hard hats on.” That was the same message delivered by Browns coach Rob Chudzinski, who reminded his players to lock in on the Vikings. “We still have to go out and do what we do,” safety T.J. Ward said. “Nothing changed for us. It’s the same road. We’ve just got to go out there, hold it down for the defensive side of the ball.” Defensive lineman Desmond Bryant, who signed as a free agent in

Fort Loramie selling tickets

March, doesn’t think the trade is a sign of surrender. “Definitely not,” he said. “We’re out there and we put in work every day to win. This doesn’t change that, so right now we’re working to beat Minnesota and we’re going to continue to do that. I respect the decision they made.” Jackson appreciates why some Cleveland fans are in an uproar over Richardson’s departure. Once considered a building block, he wasn’t around long enough to make a major impact. “Trent was going to be the face of this organization, a high draft pick, much was expected out of him,” Jackson said. “Now that he’s gone, I can see the frustration of the fans. The die-hard fans thought we had something in Trent.

An inside look at Ohio State football

BUCKEYE BRAIN BUSTERS

SAY WHAT?

1. What Florida A&M athlete is the only person ever to win an Olympic gold medal and a Super Bowl? 2. What former Florida A&M player holds the Cincinnati Bengals career interceptions record? 3. What Baseball Hall of Fame outfielder played for Florida A&M from 1973-75?

“I’m just grateful for everything that’s been going on.”

4. How many Ohio State players are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame? 5. Which college has the most players in the Pro Football Hall of Fame? Answers: 1. Bob Hayes; 2. Ken Riley; 3. Andre Dawson; 4. Nine; 5. USC with 11.

— Ohio State backup quarterback Kenny Guiton talks about the success he has had filling in for starter Braxton Miller the last two games.

RECRUITING UPDATE Terry McLaurin, a wide receiver recruit in the 2014 class for Ohio State, returned a kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown and scored on two short passes when Indianapolis Cathedral beat Bishop Chatard 37-35 last Friday. He had 12 catches for 73 yards in the game. Stephen Collier, a quarterback in the Buckeyes 2014 recruiting class from Leesburg, Ga., completed 21 of 45 passes for three touchdowns in his team’s 24-6 win over Westover. He also rushed for 70 yards. Kicker Sean Nuernberger, a 2014 Ohio State commitment from Oldham County (Ky.) hit 3 of 4 field goals, with the longest coming from 41 yards. His miss was from 58 yards. Jalyn Holmes, a defensive end who from Norfolk (Va.) Lake Taylor, a 2014 OSU commitment, served the first game of a two-game suspension for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

Florida A&M at No. 4 Ohio State, Noon, BTN season. Albert Omani (85 yards on 22 carries) leads a backfield by committee. Advantage: Ohio State

< RECEIVERS If Devin Smith could play against California every week, he might be an All-American. He caught 3 passes for 149 yards, including touchdown catches of 90 yards and 47 yards, last week and had 5 catches for 145 yards and two TDs last year. Two receivers who combined for only one catch against Cal — Evan Spencer and tight end Jeff Heuerman — earned high marks from coach Urban Meyer for their blocking. For A&M, Lenworth Lennon’s 14 catches are nearly half the team total of 32. He had 71 catches in 2012. Advantage: Ohio State

< OFFENSIVE LINE Center Corey Linsley was back to being a full-time player last week after being on a “pitch count” the first two games of the season as he rehabbed a foot injury. Right tackle Taylor Decker, the only first-year starter on the offensive line, “has come a long way since the

opener,” Meyer said. Florida A&M averages 225 yards a game total offense. Its output of 674 yards in three games is barely more than the 608 OSU had against California. Advantage: Ohio State

He got his first start in place of Adolphus Washington (groin) last week, had two tackles for losses and probably will start again this week.

Big Ten’s stock is not moving For the 20th year in a row, Microsoft founder Bill Gates is the richest person in the United States, according to Forbes Magazine. So, in football terms Gates is the SEC. He’s still the champion until someone picks up their game and takes the title away. When it comes to the BCS national championship, the Gates-like SEC numbers are familiar. The last seven BCS national champions have come from the SEC. The last four have come from the state of Alabama, with the University of Alabama winning three and Auburn the other one. Ohio State looks ready to challenge the SEC’s dominance with Urban Meyer expanding the horizons of an already highly successful program whose three trips to a BCS national championship game are exceeded only by Oklahoma’s four appearances. But will the rest of the Big Ten be able to go along with the Buckeyes? Last weekend’s results around the league didn’t generate a lot of optimism that a turnaround is underway across the board. Take away OSU’s 52-34 win at California without starting quarterback Braxton Miller and you’re looking at Michigan barely escaping with a win against Akron, Nebraska’s defense being humiliated in a big game for the seventh time in the last three seasons and Penn State losing at home to Central Florida. That’s not the way to change perceptions and stop the Big Ten bashing. Three of the top four streaks for most consecutive winning seasons in college football belong to teams currently in the Big Ten. But that’s in the past. Penn State’s 49 straight winning records from 1939-1987 leads the list. Nebraska is tied for second with Notre Dame with 42 in a row from 19622003 and Michigan is right behind them with 40 consecutive non-losing seasons from 1968-2007. Ohio State is doing just fine. But the Big Ten needs more than OSU to get people — and more importantly recruits — to pay attention to it again.

Moises Sierra, Toronto Sierra has been the Blue Jays’ regular right fielder since late August. Last week, he batted .524 with four multi-hit games, including six doubles.

Ubaldo Jimenez, Cleveland Jimenez won twice last week defeating the Royals and White Sox as Cleveland tries to keep pace with the Rays and Rangers. The righthander allowed just two runs, one earned, for a 0.59 ERA last week.

Hunter Pence, San Francisco The animated right fielder put together one of the best weeks of the season. He began the week, 0-for-4, but ended it 13-for-25. He hit six home runs and drove in 19 runs. He homered five times and drove in 12 as the Giants took three of four from the Dodgers.

Gerrit Cole, Pittsburgh The Pirates ended the week deadlocked with St. Louis atop the NL Central with the Reds breathing down their necks. The young pitcher was given just three runs by his offense over two starts, but he won both games, defeating Texas 1-0 and the Cubs 2-1. For the week, Cole had a 0.93 WHIP and 0.64 ERA.

John Farrell has to be Manager of the Year, right? Taking two fo three at Washington would clinch NL East. Allowed more than three ER in just four of 14 Sept. starts. Have won 19 straight when scoring four or more runs. Key showdowns with Reds during the next two weekends. Finish with 13 games vs. four teams among our bottom eight. Could clinch NL West with a split at Arizona this week. Welcome Johnny Cueto back to rotation, out since June. Virtual dead heat with Rangers and Indians for two wild cards. Schedule shapes up favorably for Tribe. Critical four games at Tampa Bay this week. Won 19 of 25, but making their run too late. Losing three of four games to Yankees was painful last week. (Andy) Pettitte vs. (Yosmeiro) Petit on tap for Sunday vs. San Fran. Hosting Cleveland and Texas this week. #Opportunity Just two three-game winning streaks in second half. Will play 10 of final 13 games vs. A’s and Rangers. Skipper Ryne Sandberg getting long look at youngsters. Must finish 12-0 to break even this season. June was the only positive month of the season. Could easily finish third or fifth, currently fourth. It’s official: Rockies saying bye to the retiring Todd Helton. Seem to be throwing in the towel on the season too soon. Reasonable goal: More wins than Cubs or Mets. Scored just 26 runs in last 13 games. Better on the road than at home. Lost four of seven vs. Reds and Pirates last week. Offense produced only 24 runs over last 10 games. Won just two of last 15. Will next year be any better?

• Since becoming a Yankee once again on July 26, Alfonso Soriano has more home runs (15) and RBIs (47) than anyone else in the majors. Also, during that short time, the outfielder who made his debut with the Yankees in 2000, has more multi-homer games than any other Yankee this season — or last season. • In 2000, the Toronto Blue Jays made Cody Clark their 48th round selection in the draft. The catcher elected to enroll at Wichita State rather than sign with the Blue Jays. Three years later, the Texas Rangers called his name in the 11th round and signed him. After minor league stops in four organizations and 621 games behind the plate in cities like Clinton, Iowa, Rome, Ga., and Wilmington, Del., Clark finally got a call, at age 31, from the Astros. He made his major league debut as a pinch-hitter against Toronto’s Casey Janssen with the Astros trailing 12-4 and whiffed on three pitches. It wasn’t until his seventh start, and following an 0-for-25 start to his career that Clark finally got that elusive major league hit — one day before his 32nd birthday — off the Angels’ Jason Vargas. • Scooter Gennett of the Milwaukee Brewers has been the hottest hitter in the National League since the beginning of August. The Brewers have been pleased with his approach at the plate and his versatility. As of Sunday, he had started in every spot in the batting order except cleanup. • The Braves’ Brian McCann recently joined Johnny Bench, Yogi Berra and Mike Piazza as the only catchers with six straight 20-home run seasons.

2014 Hall of Fame Voting - Controversy Returns

Legendary pitcher Nolan Ryan fails to record an out as he issues a bases-loaded walk to Jay Buhner and gives up a grand slam to Dann Howitt before being replaced after falling behind to Dave Magadan. Texas manager Kevin Kennedy summons Steve Dreyer from the bullpen to replace the Hall of Famer. That is Ryan’s last appearance in the big leagues. Incidentally, he joins Hall of Famer Bob Gibson in giving up a grand slam to the final batter he faces. Incidentally, both Ryan and Gibson made outfielder Cesar Geronimo their 3,000th strikeout victim.

Wins in a row for the Cleveland Indians over the Chicago White Sox. According to Elias, that is the longest streak in the series in the Live Ball Era (beginning in 1921). The White Sox have managed just two wins, both coming in April, in the 17 games played between the two teams this season. There are two games remaining at Cleveland next week.

Can you name the only active player who is one of the 12 players in history with as many as 100 extrabase hits in a season?

Batting average for Justin Morneau, who was recently acquired by the Pittsburgh Pirates from the Minnesota Twins, with the bases loaded this season, the best mark in the majors. Scoreless appearances for Boston’s Koji Uehara. Over the 27 games, he’s logged 30.1 innings and given up just six hits, one walk and struck out 41. He stranded the only three runners he inherited during that time. For his career in Sept./Oct., Uehara has 66 strikeouts, one walk and 14 hits over 40.1 innings.

Average for Jose Altuve of Houston in September, the best in the majors (min. 50 PA). Average for Neil Walker in September, the worst in the majors (min. 50 PA).

TRIVIA ANSWER: Todd Helton of Colorado, who recently announced his retirement at the end of this season, actually has two seasons, matching Chuck Klein and Lou Gehrig as the only players in history with two seasons of 100 or more extra-base hits.

Prior to the infiltration of PEDs into the game of baseball, the only controversy every year prior to and after the announcement of Hall of Fame inductees involved comparing home run totals, batting averages and how to evaluate catchers and middle infielders vs. corner infielders and outfielders, or relief pitchers vs. starters. You know, questions like “Should Ron Santo be elected in his final year on the ballot?” or “Are Bruce Sutter and Rich Gossage more worthy than Jack Morris and Bert Blyleven?” But those have given way to questions like, “Should Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens be rewarded for PED use?” or “Did Bonds and Clemens use PEDs?” or “Did Jeff Bagwell or Craig Biggio benefit from PED use?” or “Was Mike Piazza a juicer?” and “How is this different from amphetamine use of the past?” I find these questions terribly difficult — much more so than comparing Jack Morris and Bruce Sutter. I don’t know what players used what PEDs and how long they used them and how that might have benefitted their careers. Unfortunately, we’ll never know which players cheated and to what extent. The so-called Steroid Era is a terrible dark cloud over the game, and the collateral damage continues. As I see it, Hall of Fame voters basically have three options: 1) Penalize every player with any hint of PED use from this era; 2) Vote simply on results alone, disregarding any PED use; or 3) Somehow play judge and jury and determine the “clean” players from the cheaters. Many voters have argued that the players from the era bear the responsibility for the PED cloud, so penalizing all of them makes sense. Don’t let any of them in, they say. Of course, the down side of that argument is telling Greg Maddux and Ken Griffey, for example, that they don’t belong in the Hall. A large number of voters see nothing but the results. Bonds’ 762 home runs and Clemens’ 354 victories are certainly Hall of Fame-worthy numbers and should be honored as such. Still other voters believe they know who the cheaters are and are determined to keep them out. So, what happens if you find out later that a player already elected was a cheater? Do you kick him out, chalk his election up to his good fortune, or open the doors to cheaters? (And, by

Committee discusses wind damage to shelter house BOTKINS — The Botkins Joint Recreation Committee discussed wind damage to the shelter house and held a discussion on repaving the tennis courts during their recent meeting. The committee heard about wind damage to the shelter house, which involved some missing shingles. Village Administrator Jesse Kent said he would see if there were any spare shingles from when the roof was put on. Kent gave the committee a second quote on metal roofs for the dugouts and press boxes. The quote was from Pro-Tech Roofing. The project will likely not be started until next spring. Kent updated the committee on Greg Koenig ’s attempts to

try and get an estimate on repaving the tennis courts. Leslie Coatings is booked through the fall and Koenig is having trouble reaching an expert in Toledo. The work will have to wait until next spring. The committee heard that Dan Koenig of Cedar Falls, Iowa, is wanting to design and build an entrance gate to the village’s park to replace the steer gate that is currently in place. Kent said he discussed the park entrance easement issue with Koenig. Koenig reportedly told Kent that he would be fine with the decision of the park board. It was decided that Koenig could construct the gate at the opening to the parking lot. It will be done to make

the entrance look nicer, rather than to keep cars out. Committee members heard that Ed Brown has shared an opportunity with Kent regarding a program called KaBoom. KaBoom is sponsored by Dr. Pepper/ Snapple and they provide grants of $750 to help with the maintenance and improvement of playgrounds. The deadline to apply this year is over, but it may be possible to apply next year. Mayor Steve Woodruff asked the park board to think about hosting the annual flea market. Woodruff thought it might be a way to raise money and bring people to the park. Everyone seemed to think it was a good idea, but no plans were made.

Commitee discusses sidewalk program BOTKINS — The Botkins Village Council Service Committee met recently and discussed a neighborhood sidewalk program and other issues. Village Administrator Jesse Kent told committee members that he wanted to gather more information on assessments before a neighborhood sidewalk and curb program was started. Mayor Steve Woodruff thinks it has been 10 years since the sidewalks on North Main Street have been inspected outside of a project. The committee also discussed the low bid for the Robinhood lift station. Donald Sommer Excavating was the low bid at $564,558. A resolution con-

firming the low bid will be presented at the next council meeting. Kent told the committee that the current water and sewer rates expire at the end of March 2014. Committee member Craig Brown asked Kent to present costs for the last few years at the next committee meeting. Committee members were asked to look at the block on the western and southern ends of the Botkins Fire Department. There are problems with blowout and chipping. The committee discussed whether it might be necessary to put siding on the building. The situation will be referred to the Safety Committee for review.

Committee discusses tire and camcorder

BOTKINS — The Botkins Village Council Finance Committee met recently and discussed quotes for tires and a request for a camcorder. Committee member Nick Greve presented a quote for six tires from L and O for the 1999 Sutphen engine. The quote was for $3,587. The committee asked for tire specifications and asked Greve to check and see if there are better prices available.

Committee member Steve Heuker discussed the FMC pump. Heuker suggested that the committee might consider looking into new parts. Greve said there is a need for a new camcorder at the Botkins Police Department. Heuker said he might have a camera that would work. If that camera is not the kind needed, the committee approved spending the money for a new camcorder.

JC BOE approves WOCO reorganization JACKSON CENTER — An agreement to reorganize the Western Ohio Computer Organization (WOCO) as a Regional Council of Covernment (COG) was approved Monday night by the Jackson Center Local Schools Board of Education. The move will provide the WOCO some additional flexibility to whom they can provide services, and, to some level, reduce the current level of state oversight. In other business the board: • Approved the FFA field trip to the National FFA Convention Oct. 30 to Nov. 2 in Lousiville, Ky. • Updated the board policy manual per OSBA suggestions. • Went into executive

session to discuss the employment of public employees. • Hired Cari Beth Noah as show choir and vocal programs coordinator. • Approved the financial/treasurer report. • Accepted the donation of an ice machine from Doug and Sherri Meyer. The ice machine will be used in the athletic complex training room. • Heard a report from maintenance supervisor Ted Rostorfer about the activities completed during the summer, which included the stripping and re-application of wax to floors in the new academic wing and other areas of the building. The bleachers have been motorized to extend life expectancy and both gym floors were refinished.

• Heard a report from Scott Elchert, athletic director, who discussed the progress toward the beginning of the high school soccer program for the 2014-15 school year. A coach will be hired in March or April. The team will be co-ed and will play a boys high school schedule beginning with a reserve schedule first in 201415. To begin, it is most likely all matches will be away until plans are confirmed and completed for a home field. Additionally, Elchert reported that local resident Bill Elsass will be donating his time in painting the baseball press box and dugouts. • Learned Aimsweb testing has been completed in kindergarten through third grade. Oct. 8 is the first test for the third grade

Glenn Miller Orchestra to perform in New Bremen NEW BREMEN — Lock One Community Arts will open its 201314 “Season of Something for Everyone” on Oct. 13 at 4 p.m. when it presents a concert by the Glenn Miller Orchestra in the James F. Dicke Auditorisum at New Bremen High School. Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for students. They are available at the box office at Western Ohio True Value in Minster or by mail at LOCA, P.O. Box 21, New Bremen, OH 45869. There will tickets available at the door if the concert is not sold out before the day of the concert. For nearly 70 years America and the world have loved the big band sounds of the Glenn

students for the mandated third-grade guarantee, in which schools will be required to retained thirdgrade students who do not achieve a score of at least 392 on the reading portion of the test. The OAA test incentive assembly was held right after school started for the year. Seventh-grader T.J. Esser received a lap top. • Learned senior Zach Buckmaster is the recipient of the Honda Math Medal, earning a $100 gift card and a potential $1,000 should he attend Ohio State University. • Learned the fiscal year 2013 financial statements are complete and available for inspection in the district office per request. • Learned the USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.

• Authorized the Ohio Educational Purchasing Council to advertise and receive bids for the cooperative purchase of a school bus. Superintendent Bill Reichert shared the results of the district report card with the board. He said the district received its highest performance index score ever at 103.2. This was the ninth time in the last 10 years this score has increased. The district, along with Russia, were the only school in the county to receive an A in the value added score. Reichert also reported that work continues on the Race to the Top program. The waiver day is being prepared for joint attendance by several county schools on Oct. 14. He said the district’s

placement on the equity list by the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission has been updated. There is no change from last year, which means the state would provide 51 percent and the district 49 percent of any future OFFC approved building project. High School Principal Jeff Reese and guidance counselor Marilyn Kohler have been studying a blended learning program. Online learning opportunities, conducted within existing classes, additional course offerings and flexibility for for students could result and enhance the curriculum. The study is continuing. The next board meeting will be Oct. 21 at 7 p.m.
