WASHINGTON, D.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Veterans of three wars paid tribute to all the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country when they placed a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Saturday morning.

Macklin Hall, World War II; Arthur Muhlenkamp, Korean War; and Dennis Thatcher and Gary Stockton, Vietnam War, represented the 43 veterans from Shelby County who traveled to Washington, D.C., to visit the memorials built in their honor. But before visiting those memorials, they gathered at Arlington National Cemetery to pay their respects for all those who have died for their country.

Thatcher said he was surprised when he was asked to be part of the wreath-laying team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was quite an honor,â&#x20AC;? said Thatcher, of Quincy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never dreamed Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be asked to do that.â&#x20AC;?

This was the first time the group has placed a wreath at the tomb. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ninth time the Shelby County Vets to D.C., has taken the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heroes to the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good experience,â&#x20AC;? and Muhlenkamp.

Before the ceremony, the four received instructions from Sgt. McGuire with the Old Guard, who is responsible for guarding the tomb, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He told us we were to march out there, then we were to turn right and wait for the guard of the other side with the wreath,â&#x20AC;? said Thatcher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We asked to put our hands on the wreath and pass it to him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He told us if we forgot anything, to watch his hands and he would give us commands as he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to talk.â&#x20AC;?

One hand signal told the veterans to stop; a turn of the

hand told them to turn.

The men said they were all nervous about being chosen for the honor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The adrenaline was running,â&#x20AC;? said Thatcher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It reminded me of being back in the Army.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It does take me back to my military days,â&#x20AC;? said Muhlenkamp, of Minster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good experience,â&#x20AC;? said Hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t nervous at all. They gave us instructions.â&#x20AC;?

Stockton, who serves on the rifle squad and color guard at the Sidney American Legion, said he was happy to have helped with the ceremony. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was scary, but I loved it,â&#x20AC;? said Stockton.

Stockton and Thatcher were both apprehensive about their visit to the Vietnam Memorial Wall.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This (trip) helped me with the homecoming I never got,â&#x20AC;? said Thatcher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It showed me that people do care about us.â&#x20AC;?

Thatcher said on his return to the United States from Vietnam, his plane had to circle the airport for three extra hours â&#x20AC;&#x153;because there were too many protesters at the airport to land safely.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were rushed to the barracks at 3 a.m. At 9 a.m. we were in the mess hall,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At 9:30 we were processed out. At 10 a.m. I was out of uniform and had to catch my own ride home. I went back to the airport in civilian clothes.â&#x20AC;?

Thatcher wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let his wife, Angela, take his photograph at the Wall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did let her take a picture in front of the three guys coming out of the jungle,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Stockton said he was also apprehensive about visiting the Wall. He also didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to have his picture taken in front of the memorial that listed all the men and women who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come home from the war. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The soldiers coming out of the woods, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my Vietnam War,â&#x20AC;? said Stockton.

Muhlenkamp said he was pleased with the Korean War Memorial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It represented everybody who was in the war,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The men were pleased and surprised by the welcome they received from people they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think people today truly appreciate veterans,â&#x20AC;? said Thatcher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people came See HONOR | 11

The 34th annual Rebel Run Rod & Custom Nationals car show held at the Shelby County Fairgrounds this weekend left a good impression of the city in its first visit to Sidney.

Show promoter LeRoy Roby said there were about 1,800 cars at the event, which was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a little underâ&#x20AC;? the usual count, but he blamed the weather for that little miss. He said if it hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rained, the show probably would have gotten about 500 more cars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But overall we were tickled to death with Sidney,â&#x20AC;? Roby said, adding that exhibitors,

vendors and show runners alike were all impressed with the friendliness of the city.

Attendance was probably less than expected, but it was still being calculated Sunday afternoon. Still, Roby said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty good, especially Saturday.â&#x20AC;?

He noted that a lot of â&#x20AC;&#x153;newâ&#x20AC;? cars were part of the show this year, from Greenville, Dayton, Piqua and Sidney, owing to the new location after 13 years in Lima. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want to thank the town,â&#x20AC;? Roby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody liked the fairgrounds, the town and the friendliness. I especially want to thank Jerry and Chris at See CAR | 3

Vectren launches annual, fourth-grade energy safety education program For the sixth consecutive year, Vectren Energy Delivery and the National Energy Foundation (NEF) plan to bring Energy Safe Kids, an interactive, hands-on safety education program, to area schools.

Based on fourth-grade curriculum, the program educates children about natural gas safety through classroom presentations and take home energy safety booklets.

Energy Safe Kids presentations will be at the following schools this week: • Holy Angels Catholic School — Monday, 9 a.m.

• Jackson Center Elementary School — Tuesday, 8:30 a.m.

• Fort Loramie Elementary School — Tuesday, 1:30 p.m.

• Emerson Elementary School — Thursday, 8:45 a.m. and 9:45 a.m.

“While Energy Safe Kids covers serious safety issues, we present this information in a fun, memorable way,”

said Colleen Ryan, president of Vectren Ohio. “After all of the presentations are complete, we invite the teachers and students to participate in a video contest using what they learn from the safety education program to teach other kids to be energy safe.”

This fall, Vectren and NEF plan to provide approximately 50 classroom presentations to more than 3,000 students in nearly 40 schools throughout Vectren’s Ohio service territory.

Participating students will learn about the basics of natural gas. Students will receive an Energy Safety booklet that encourages them to Live Smart and Take Action by following safety precautions at home and at school. Each participating teacher/classroom will receive teaching materials that include a teacher guide, accompanying CD and energy instructional posters.

HOW MAY WE HELP YOU?

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jeff Daniels won the Emmy Award on Sunday for best drama series actor for his portrayal of an idealistic TV anchorman in “The Newsroom.”

He noted that he’d also received an age 50-plus acting honor from the American Association of Retired Persons.

“With all due respect to the AARP, this is even better,” Daniels said.

Diahann Carroll, the first African-American Emmy nominee in 1963 for “Naked City,” created a heartfelt moment when she took the stage with “Scandal” best actress nominee Kerry Washington and noted the importance of diversity in the industry and Emmys.

“Tonight, she better get this award,” Carroll said of Washington, who covered her eyes in embarrassment.

Washington could become the first AfricanAmerican nominee for

best actress in a drama since Cicely Tyson in 1995 for “Sweet Justice.”

Julia Louis-Dreyfus claimed her second consecutive best comedy actress Emmy Award on Sunday for her role as an ambitious political second banana in “Veep,” with Jim Parsons again claiming the top comedy acting trophy for “The Big Bang Theory.”

“This is so much good fortune it’s almost too much to bear,” said Louis-Dreyfus.

“I’m very grateful to have the opportunity to make people laugh. It’s a joyful way to make a living.”

Parsons added to the awards he won in 2011 and 2010 for the role of a science nerd.

“My heart, oh my heart. I want you to know I’m very aware of how exceedingly fortunate I am,” he said.

Merritt Wever of “Nurse Jackie” won the night’s first award, for best supporting actress in a comedy series, kicking off the ceremony on a surprising note and with a remarkably brief acceptance speech.

“Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

Um, I got to go, bye,” Wever told the audience after besting a field that included two-time winner Julie Bowen of “Modern Family.”

“Merritt Wever, best speech ever,” host Neil Patrick Harris said.

Backstage, she offered an explanation: “I’m sorry I didn’t thank anyone. I was going to cry.”

Tony Hale of “Veep” claimed the trophy for best supporting actor in a comedy, a category that has been the property in recent years of the men of “Modern Family.”

“Oh, man…. This is mindblowing, mindblowing,” Hale said.

Laura Linney was named best actress in a miniseries or movie for

“The Big C: Hereafter.” ”The Voice” won best reality-competition program and Tina Fey won for writing “30 Rock.”

Bobby Cannavale, from “Boardwalk Empire,” won as best supporting actor in a drama, and Anna Gunn from “Breaking Bad” won the best actress award in the same category.

The ceremony’s first hour was relatively somber, with memorial tributes and a doleful song

by Elton John in honor of the late musical star Liberace, the subject of the nominated biopic “Behind the Candelabra.”

“Liberace left us 25 years ago and what a difference those years have made to people like me,” said John, who is openly gay in contrast to the closeted Liberace portrayed in the TV movie.

Robin Williams offered another tribute.

“Jonathan Winters was my mentor,” Williams said of the actor-comedian. “I told him that and he said, ‘Please, I prefer ‘idol.’”

Also honored was Cory Monteith, the “Glee” star who died at age 31 in July of a drug and alcohol overdose.

“Cory was a beautiful soul,” said his co-star Jane Lynch. “He was not perfect, which so many of us here tonight can relate to. His death is a tragic reminder of the rapacious, senseless destruction that is brought on my addiction.”

Harris started out the ceremony with help — and harassment — from past hosts including Jimmy Kimmel, Jane Lynch and Conan O’Brien.

When they started to squabble, nominee Kevin Spacey of the online show “House of Cards” got a close-up.

to my plan. I was promised the hosting job this year and they turned me down,” Spacey said, channeling the scheming politician he plays on the digital series.

All eyes were on “House of Cards” from Netflix. The political thriller, the first online program to compete for the top trophy, is part of a video universe explosion that’s added streaming services including Netflix and websites like YouTube to broadcast, cable and satellite TV delivery.

ABC’s “Modern Family” has the chance at its fourth consecutive best comedy series trophy.

“House of Cards” faces tough opposition. AMC’s “Breaking Bad” is after its first best drama award as it nears the end of its five-season run, and “Mad Men” would like to claim a fifth honor to set a record for most wins in the category.

AMC’s “Mad Men” is tied with past greats “Hill Street Blues,” ”The West Wing,” and “L.A. Law.” Last year, Showtime’s “Homeland” played spoiler by taking the trophy and is nominated again along with PBS’ “Downton Abbey” and HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”

the fairgrounds. They were really helpful.”

Roby said he found out in January that the usual Lima site for the annual show had been booked for a wedding reception. He checked out three different fairgrounds, deciding that “Sidney was the best for us, because of the layout.”

His usual crew of helpers came along to the new venue, but he said a few local people stopped by and volunteered to help out, too. His positive impression of the city already has him planning to bring the show back next year.

“I plan to come back until they have a wedding reception,” he said with a chuckle.

“Two things can hurt us: rain and wedding receptions.”

He has booked the fairgrounds, and pending approval from city authorities, hopes to start out next year’s show with a parade of cars around the courtsquare Thursday. The pending dates for next year are Sept. 18-21.

Roby also said lower turnout at a competing show held the same weekend might be prompting it to change dates, so that could bring in additional cars.

“We can hold 3,000 cars or more,” he said.

Roby said he hoped the good weekend for him also meant a good weekend for Sidney.

“I hope it brought in lots of money to town,” he said.

“Someone at the Spot (restaurant) told someone here this was the biggest weekend event they ever had.”

Many vendors and exhibitors stayed at the fairgrounds in RVs or commuted from nearby, but many also opted to stay in local hotels.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Sunday memorialized the victims of the Washington Navy Yard shooting by urging Americans not to give up on a transformation in gun laws that he argued are to blame for an epidemic of violence.

“There is nothing inevitable about it — it comes about because of decisions we make or fail to make,” Obama said.

Reprising his role of the nation’s consoler in chief after yet another mass shooting, Obama issued a call to action on gun control measures that failed to pass earlier this year and show no new momentum in the wake of last week’s rampage at a military installation just blocks from the Capitol.

“Our tears are not enough,” Obama told thousands gathered to mourn at the Marine Barracks. “Our words and our prayers are not

enough. If we really want to honor these 12 men and women, if we really want to be a country where we can go to work and go to school and walk our streets free from senseless violence without so many lives being stolen by a bullet from a gun, then we’re going to have to change.”

Obama said when such senseless deaths strike in America, “it ought to be a shock to all of us, it ought to obsess us. It ought to lead to some sort of transformation.”

But, Obama said, “nothing happens.

Alongside the anguish of these American families, alongside the accumulated outrage so many of us feel, sometimes I fear there is a creeping resignation that these tragedies are just somehow the way it is, that this is somehow the new normal. We cannot accept this. As Americans bound in grief and love,

we must insist here today there is nothing normal about innocent men and women being gunned down where they work.”

He said no other advanced nation endures the kind of gun violence seen in the United States, and blamed mass shootings in America on laws that fail “to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and dangerous people.”

“What’s different in America is it’s easy to get your hands on a gun,” he said. He acknowledged “the politics are difficult,” a lesson he learned after failing to get expanded background checks for gun buyers through the Democratic-controlled Senate this spring.

Obama had proposed the measure after the shooting at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School killed 20 firstgraders and six staff.

“And that’s sometimes where the resignation comes from: the sense

that our politics are frozen and that nothing will change. Well, I cannot accept that,” Obama said. “By now, though, it should be clear that the change we need will not come from Washington, even when tragedy strikes Washington. Change will come the only way it ever has come, and that’s from the American people.”

Obama joined military leaders in eulogizing the dozen victims killed in last Monday’s shooting, speaking from the parade grounds at the Marine Barracks, a site personally selected by Thomas Jefferson because of its close marching distance to the Navy Yard. The memorial service came on the first day of fall, which shone brightly in Washington, with sun sparkling off the instruments being played by the Navy Band and the gold dress uniform buttons worn by so many in the crowd.

Debate on Medicaid’s future awaits Ohio lawmakers Ann Sanner Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio lawmakers will return to the Statehouse next month faced with whether to make changes to Medicaid, the federal-state health program for the poor and disabled.

Republican Gov. John Kasich wants to see the program expanded to cover more lowincome residents under the federal health care law. But the GOP-controlled Legislature has balked at the idea despite the U.S. government promising to cover the entire cost of the expansion for the first three years and 90 percent for subsequent years. Roughly 366,000

Ohioans would be newly eligible for coverage beginning in 2014.

As legislators try to find common ground on how to change the program, here’s a look at some of the questions and answers surrounding the Medicaid debate: Q: Doesn’t the governor have the authority to expand the program on his own?

A: Yes. His administration could expand Medicaid eligibility or seek federal approval to make other changes to the program.

Q: So what role does the Legislature play?

A: Kasich needs legislative approval to spend the federal

dollars on the newly eligible Medicaid enrollees. State lawmakers could pass a bill that allows the federal money to be spent on the new Medicaid population. But several bills that would do so have so far gone nowhere in either chamber. A seven-member panel that handles certain adjustments to the state budget, called the Controlling Board, also could vote to authorize the spending.

Q: Is spending authority important to expanding Medicaid?

A: Yes. Without it, there wouldn’t be enough money in the state’s two-year budget to cover more people in Medicaid.

The program would likely have

a cash-flow problem and possibly not enough money to pay health care providers for serving Medicaid patients.

Q: What are some of the hang-ups in the Legislature?

A: Medicaid expansion is one of the key components of Democratic President Barack Obama’s health care law. Many Republican lawmakers, who dominate both chambers of the General Assembly, are averse to the health overhaul and resistant to expanding government programs. They have cited concerns about increasing the national debt and fears that the money from Washington could be cut off. Medicaid already provides coverage to one of

Besides leading downtown Cincinnati crowds in the “chicken dance,” Takei also performed with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra.

DAYTON (AP) — Work has begun on a new river recreation project in southwest Ohio.

What will be known as Mad River Run in Dayton is expected to draw kayaks and canoes. It will feature a 2,100-foot whitewater stretch that includes a drop, with more drops planned when funds become available.

Five Rivers MetroParks says the project includes conservation measures, with bank stabilization work, the Dayton Daily News reports.

The first phase of construction is funded in part by a $100,000 Dayton Rotary Club donation.

The parks agency says the Mad River section being worked on is one of the most heavily paddled and fished sections of the spring-fed river.

Visitors to the Midwest Outdoor Experience running Oct. 4-5 in Dayton should be able to see the project.

When completed, the Mad River Run will allow kayakers and canoeists to put in at Eastwood and take out nearly four miles later at RiverScape MetroPark. Deep water

holes formed by flow around rock structures should provide good fishing.

Five Rivers MetroParks says the project will improve access, aquatic habitat and river safety.

“The Rotary Club of Dayton is excited to hear about the start of construction of Mad River Run, a project we adopted to commemorate our 100 years of service to the local community,” said Greg Birkemeyer, the club’s president.

Meanwhile, the RiverScape River Run project in downtown Dayton could begin construction next year after receiving permits from the U.S. Corps of Engineers. The project is meant will include a slower passageway for canoes and a faster whitewater passage for kayaks. ___ Information from: Dayton Daily News, http://www.daytondailynews.com

Bill would ban Ohio teens from driving buddies COLUMBUS (AP) — A Republican state lawmaker is proposing tough new driving restrictions on Ohio teens, including prohibiting them from transporting even one additional teenager.

State Rep. Rick Perales, of Beavercreek, tells The Columbus Dispatch his bill would bring Ohio’s rules closer to the recommenda-

tions of safety groups.

Besides banning teen buddies, it would require backseat passengers to wear a seat belt and push back Ohio’s teen driving curfew from midnight to 10 p.m. Teens engaged in work and school activities would be exempt from the new night rules.

Caitlyn Pitts, a 15-year-old from

Gahanna, says barring teens from traveling together to sports practices or to the movies is “kind of defeating the purpose” of having a license.

Current Ohio law allows 16-yearold drivers to transport one unrelated passenger of any age. ___ Information from: The Columbus Dispatch, http://www. dispatch.com

Q: What about letting Ohio voters decide if the Medicaid should be expanded?

A: Health care advocates are working on a proposal that could put the issue to a statewide vote in November 2014.

The effort must first clear several steps to be successful. The backers must gather signatures of at least 3 percent of the total votes cast for governor in 2010, or 115,574. Once those are verified, the General Assembly has four months to act on the proposed law. If legislators pass, amend or take no action, then a supplemental petition may be circulated before voters next year.

For Obama, diplomatic openings on 3 fronts

Today in History The Associated Press

Today is Monday, Sept. 23, the 266th day of 2013. There are 99 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 23, 1952, Sen. Richard M. Nixon, R-Calif., salvaged his vice-presidential nomination by appearing live on television to refute allegations of improper campaign fundraising. (The address became known as the “Checkers” speech because of Nixon’s on-air reference to the family pet, a dog named Checkers.)

On this date: In 63 B.C., Caesar Augustus, the first Roman emperor, was born.

In 1779, during the Revolutionary War, the American warship Bon Homme Richard, commanded

by John Paul Jones, defeated the HMS Serapis in battle.

In 1780, British spy John Andre was captured along with papers revealing Benedict Arnold’s plot to surrender West Point to the British.

In 1806, the Lewis and Clark expedition returned to St. Louis more than two years after setting out for the Pacific Northwest.

In 1846, Neptune was identified as a planet by German astronomer Johann Gottfried Galle.

In 1908, an apparent baserunning error by Fred Merkle of the New York Giants cost his team a victory against the Chicago Cubs and left the game tied 1-1. The Cubs won a rematch and with it, the National League pennant.

In 1912, Mack Sennett’s first Keystone short subject, a “split-reel” of two comedies both starring Mabel Normand and Ford Sterling (“Cohen Collects a Debt” and “The Water Nymph”), was released.

Houston’s William Marsh Rice Institute, later renamed Rice University, opened for classes on the 12th anniversary of Rice’s death.

In 1949, President Harry S. Truman announced there was evidence the Soviet Union had recently conducted a nuclear test explosion. The test had been carried out on Aug. 29, 1949.

In 1957, nine black students who’d entered Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas were forced to withdraw because of a white mob outside.

In 1962, “The Jetsons,” an animated cartoon series about a Space Age family, premiered as the ABC television network’s first color program.

In 1973, former Argentine president Juan Peron won a landslide election victory that returned him to power; his wife, Isabel, was elected vice president.

Out of the Blue British drivers can pay for parking with chestnuts LONDON (AP) — It’s the next best thing to parking that costs peanuts: parking that costs chestnuts.

A company that runs parking lots in the English cities of Leeds and Manchester is temporarily letting drivers pay with the dark brown seeds that fall from horse chestnut trees each autumn.

Town Centre Car Parks is accepting horse chestnuts for parking time at a rate of 20 pence (32 cents) apiece.

So far it has collected about 1,500 of the nuts, known as conkers after the traditional schoolyard game in which children try to smash them.

The weeklong “Bonkers for Conkers” campaign was due to end Sunday, but company spokesman Matthew Williamson said Thursday it may be extended.

The chestnuts are only being accepted at staffed parking lots, not automated ticket machines. “You can’t put conkers into coin slots,” he noted.

The company said the project aimed to raise awareness about carbon emissions from automobiles and it plans to sponsor a forest to help offset carbon emissions.

It hasn’t decided yet what to do with the conkers.

A security officer helps a wounded woman outside the Westgate Mall after gunmen opened fire and threw grenades. Kenyan authorities said Islamic extremist attackers remain inside the upscale Kenyan shopping mall Sunday, holding an unknown number of hostages, after killing and injuring scores of people the attack.

Kenyan forces say they rescued ‘most’ hostages Jason Straziuso and Tom Odula Associated Press

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Kenyan’s military said late Sunday it had rescued “most” of the remaining hostages held by al-Qaida-linked militants in an upscale Nairobi mall after launching a major operation to end a two-day standoff that had already killed 68 people.

The assault, which began shortly before sundown, came as two helicopters circled the mall, with one skimming very close to the roof. A loud explosion rang out, far larger than any previous grenade blast or gunfire volley.

Kenyan police said on Twitter that a “MAJOR” assault by had started to end the bloody siege.

“This will end tonight. Our forces will prevail. Kenyans are standing firm against aggres-

sion, and we will win,” Kenya’s National Disaster Operation Centre said on Twitter.

Kenya Defence Forces later said it had rescued most hostages and had taken control of most of the mall. Officials did not immediately release the number of hostages rescued or the number that remained.

Four Kenyan military personnel were wounded in the operation, the military said.

The assault came about 30 hours after 10 to 15 al-Shabab extremists stormed the mall Saturday from two sides, throwing grenades and firing on civilians.

Loud exchanges of gunfire emanated from inside the fourstory upscale mall throughout Sunday. Kenyan troops were seen carrying in at least two rocket propelled grenades.

Al-Shabab militants reacted angrily to the helicopters on Twitter and warned that the

Kenyan military action was endangering hostages.

Kenyan officials said they would do their utmost to save hostages’ lives, but no officials could say precisely how many hostages were inside. Kenya’s Red Cross said in a statement citing police that 49 people had been reported missing.

Officials did not make an explicit link but that number could give an indication of the number of people held captive.

Kenya’s Red Cross said the death toll on Sunday rose to 68 after nine bodies were recovered in a joint rescue mission.

A United States State Department spokeswoman condemned the “despicable massacre of innocent men, women and children.” U.S. law enforcement, military and civilian personnel in Nairobi were providing advance and assistance as requested by Kenya, spokeswoman Marie

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama arrives at the United Nations on Monday with diplomatic openings, the result of help from unexpected partners, on three fronts: Iran, Syria, and elusive peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

All three pathways are fraught with potential pitfalls and hinge on cooperation from often unreliable nations.

Obama also risks being branded as naive and misguided if the efforts fail, particularly in Syria, where he’s used the prospect of diplomacy to put off a military strike in retaliation for a chemical weapons attack.

Still, the recent developments mark a significant shift on a trio of issues that have long proved problematic for Obama at the United Nations.

His former Iranian counterpart used the annual U.N. General Assembly meetings, which open Monday, as a venue for fiery, anti-American speeches. Failed Middle East peace talks led the Palestinians to seek statehood recognition at the U.N. despite staunch American objections. And the Obama administration has been stymied on Syria at the U.N. Security Council due to intractable Russian opposition.

But this year, Iran has a new leader who is making friendly overtures toward Obama, raising the prospect of a meeting at the United Nations. U.S.-brokered peace talks between the Israelis and Palestinians have resumed — though on an uncertain course. And Russia has joined with the U.S. on a diplomatic deal to strip Syria of its chemical weapons.

Joel Rubin, a former State Department official who now works at the nonproliferation organization Ploughshares, said the confluence of events underscores an often frustrating aspect of diplomacy.

Suicide attack on Pakistani church kills 78 people; over 100 wounded Riaz Khan and Sebastian Abbot Associated Press

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — A pair of suicide bombers blew themselves up amid hundreds of worshippers at a historic church in northwestern Pakistan on Sunday, killing 78 people in the deadliest-ever attack against the country’s Christian minority.

A wing of the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the bombing, raising new questions about the government’s push to strike a peace deal with the militants to end a decade-long insurgency that has killed thousands of people.

The Jundullah arm of the Taliban said they would continue to target non-Muslims until the United States stopped drone attacks in Pakistan’s remote tribal region. The latest drone strike came Sunday, when missiles hit a pair of compounds in the North Waziristan tribal area, killing six suspected militants.

The attack on the All Saints Church, which wounded 141 people, occurred as worshippers were leaving after services to get a free

meal of rice offered on the front lawn, said a top government administrator, Sahibzada Anees.

“There were blasts and there was hell for all of us,” said Nazir John, who was at the church in the city’s Kohati Gate district along with at least 400 other worshippers. “When I got my senses back, I found nothing but smoke, dust, blood and screaming people. I saw severed body parts and blood all around.”

Survivors wailed and hugged one another in the wake of the blasts. The white walls of the church, which first opened in the late 1800s, were pockmarked with holes caused by ball bearings contained in the bombs to cause maximum damage. Blood stained the floor and the walls. Plates filled with rice were scattered across the ground.

The attack was carried out by two suicide bombers who detonated their explosives almost simultaneously, said police officer Shafqat Malik.

The 78 dead included 34 women and seven children, said Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan. Another 37 children were

among the 141 wounded, he said.

The number of casualties from the blasts was so high that the hospital ran short of caskets for the dead and beds for the wounded, said Mian Iftikhar Hussain, a former information minister of surrounding Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province who was on the scene.

“This is the deadliest attack against Christians in our country,” said Irfan Jamil, the bishop of the eastern city of Lahore.

Pope Francis led several thousand people in a prayer for the victims while on a visit to Sardinia. Those who carried out the attack, he said, “took the wrong choice, one of hatred and war.”

One of the wounded, John Tariq, who lost his father in the attack, demanded of those behind the bombing: “What have we done wrong to these people? Why are we being killed?”

Ahmad Marwat, who identified himself as the spokesman for the Jundullah wing of the Pakistani Taliban, claimed responsibility for the attack.

Blame already being cast over budget fight Philip Elliott Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Even before a budget deadline arrives, leaders from both parties are blaming each other — and some Republicans are criticizing their own — for a government shutdown many are treating as inevitable.

The top Democrat in the House says Republicans are “legislative arsonists” who are using their opposition to a sweeping health care overhaul as an excuse to close government’s doors. A leading tea party antagonist in the Senate counters that conservatives should use any tool available to stop the Affordable Care Act from taking hold. President Bill Clinton’s labor secretary says the GOP is willing “to risk the entire system of government to get your way,” while the House speaker who oversaw the last government shutdown urged fellow Republicans to remember “this is not a dictatorship.”

The unyielding political posturing on Sunday comes one week before Congress reaches an Oct. 1 deadline to dodge any interruptions in government services. While work continues on a temporary spending bill, a potentially more devastating

separate deadline looms a few weeks later when the government could run out of money to pay its bills.

“This is totally irresponsible, completely juvenile and, as I called it, legislative arson.

It’s just destructive,” House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said in an interview that aired Sunday.

The Republican-led House on Friday approved legislation designed to wipe out the 3-year-old health care law that President Barack Obama has vowed to preserve. But the House’s move was more a political win than a measure likely to be implemented.

Across the Capitol, Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid said he would keep the health law intact despite Republicans’ attempts, in his words, “to take an entire law hostage simply to appease the tea party anarchists.”

One of those tea party agitators, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, showed little sign on Sunday that he cared about the uphill climb to make good on his pledge to derail the health care law over Obama’s guaranteed veto.

“I believe we should stand our ground,” said Cruz, who already was trying to blame Obama and

his Democratic allies if the government shuts down.

Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat, said Cruz’s efforts were destructive and selfserving as Cruz eyes a White House campaign.

“I cannot believe that they are going to throw a tantrum and throw the American people and our economic recovery under the bus,” she said.

“This is about running for president with Ted Cruz. This isn’t about meaningful statesmanship,” she added later.

The wrangling over the budget comes as lawmakers consider separate legislation that would let the United States avoid a first-ever default on its debt obligations. House Republicans are planning legislation that would attach a 1-year delay in the health care law in exchange for ability to increase the nation’s credit limit of $16.7 trillion.

Obama, speaking to political allies on Saturday evening, showed little patience for the GOP efforts to undermine his legislative accomplishment by either avenue.

“We will not negotiate over whether or not America should keep its word and meet its obligations,” Obama told the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation dinner. “We’re not

going to allow anyone to inflict economic pain on millions of our own people just to make an ideological point.”

Congress doesn’t seem eager to help Obama, although there are deep divides — both between parties and within them — over who deserves blame.

Rep. Tom Graves, R-Ga., said the goal was to defund the president’s health care legislation for at least one more year if not forever.

“We do have eight days to reach a resolution on this, and I propose an idea that kept the government operating and opened for an entire year while delaying and defunding Obamacare for a year so that we could work out those differences,” Graves said.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, whose faceoff with Clinton led to government shutdowns that inflicted significant damage on the GOP and helped resurrect the thenpresident’s political fortunes in time for his 1996 re-election bid, said his GOP colleagues should not yield.

“This is not a dictatorship.

Under our constitution, there should be a period of tension and there should be a compromise on both sides,” Gingrich said.

Theater to get new HVAC

SDN Photo | Melanie Speicher

Michael Nauman, of Nauman & Zelinksi LLC, of Dayton, (second from right) talks about the heating, ventilation and air conditioning plans for the Historic Sidney Theatre recently with (l-r) Steven McClaren, vice president of Jezerinac Geers & Associates, Dublin, Bob Stohr, of Nauman & Zelinksi LLC; and Sarah Barr, Raise the Roof for the Arts coordinator.

Raise the Roof for the Arts met recently to discuss the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system for the Historic Sidney Theatre.

The board has contracted with the Dayton engineering firm of Nauman & Zelinksi to prepare documents for bidding the work.

As part of the design process, Choice One Engineering was hired to complete a property line survey along the west side of the building.

“Bid documents should be ready soon, and while time lines can be difficult to predict, it is our hope that the work will be completed this fall,” said Sarah Barr, coordinator for Raise the Roof for the Arts.

Earlier this year, a study was completed on the existing heating and air conditioning system

by Nauman & Zelinski. Based on those findings, a new system was determined to be a high priority for the facility.

Mike Nauman, principal of Nauman & Zelinksi, told Raise the Roof for the Arts that bid documents will be available soon. The project will be open to bids from anyone who wishes to submit a quote and comply with the guidelines provided.

More information about the Historic Sidney Theatre is available by visiting the website, www.sidneytheatre.org, or by contacting the office, 498-1921

DAR learns Studebaker history TIPP CITY — Sonia Studebaker Ewald and Miriam Owen Irwin shared their family story of the Studebaker family and the Studebaker Family National Association with the Piqua-Lewis Boyer Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) when the latter met recently at the Studebaker’s Homestead near Tipp City for a carry-in brunch and program.

Miriam is an archivist and works on transcribing old diaries and letters and keeping the family heirlooms and artifacts accounted for. According to their family history, Peter and brother Clement and a cousin, Heinrich, came to America from Germany in 1736.

Four brothers and two sisters came to the Miami Valley in 18091813. Clement was noted for the Studebaker car and Peter’s family, as tool makers. Heinrich was killed by Indians, but his son survived to continue the family line.

The Studebaker families had lots of boys which was good for clearing the land. The men were good nurturers of the family. Many of

Officers for the next two years are Carole Carruthers, president; Ginny Shaw, vice president; Ann Heeley, secretary; Patt Van Skiver, treasurer.

Mary Lou Overton and Marie Theis served as hostesses and provided table favors reflecting autumn designs.

Shaw reported that there were 85 entries in the 2013 Applefest Flower Show. She shared the following gardening tips: Fall is a great time

to plant perennials, trees, and shrubs. If the roots have circled around the nursery pot, gently tease them out before planting.

Divide perennials that are in the ground with a garden fork or sharp shovel. After the first hard frost, clean up all garden debris, especially

if mushy or diseased.

Remove and destroy the debris; do not compost.

Shred dry leaves and use in compost or as mulch.

Make sure that leaves are shredded before using as mulch to prevent rodents and over-wintering insects and slugs from seeking shelter.

Letter to the editor

Only half the facts reported To the editor: I was at the Aug. 27 hearing of Scott Evans and wondered if Kathy Leese was at the same meeting!

She has said repeatedly she only reports the facts, when in truth she reports half the facts. I have never read such a biased article! She failed to report Scott’s attorney Bazalak proved there was no evidence to prove any of the charges filed against him were true, only hearsay.

She has never reported anything about the honest law enforcement officer Scott is. He has done an excellent job as Anna’s police chief, going over and above his job requirements. In 20 years he’s never been written up on anything, that’s why council hired him to start with.

When Mike Grillot came to him with these allegations, under the duties of his office he needed to turn them over to higher office to be investigated.

So why then is he on 60-day unpaid leave?

Council is now trying to

prove he’s been negligent in his job. In 20 years he’s done a great job in law enforcement. What would he gain by all this? Kathy Leese has never printed both sides of the story.

Can she prove any of the rumors she’s printed about him? What are her sources?

Come on, what is this truly all about? Did someone set him up because they knew he was honest and would act on it? Is someone trying to get rid of Scott so the Sheriff’s Office can take over patrolling Anna? Where does this all come from?

First it was his residency, which council could waive until he can sell his house, and now this.

Come on Anna, let’s support Scott. Call a council member in support of keeping our Police Department in Anna and let’s get this craziness behind us.

One year later, questions still remain on Benghazi attack. In the aftermath of the attack on our diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, which left four Americans dead, including our ambassador, President Obama promised accountability about what went wrong and justice for the victims. One year later we have neither.

In the weeks following the deadly attacks, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton promised an

year ago. It matters the family and friends of four murdered Americans are still without a modicum of justice. It matters when a fundamental belief we hold about our country and our military — that you will not be left behind — has been called into question. It matters because if you can’t trust the information your government is giving you, how can you trust your government on any issue? You cannot compartmentalize credibility. We will continue to pursue the answers about what happened one year ago because Americans deserve to know the truth.

Visiting vets impressed by area To the editor: I recently had my Korean War veterans reunion here is Sidney. I had five buddies and their wives from as far away as Wisconsin, Maine, Virginia, Louisiana and northern Ohio.

They were really impressed with Sidney and the surrounding area.

I want to commend the Hampton Inn for giving us a military discount on the rooms. The hospitality was great.

I also appreciate the Vets to D.C.

committee — Mike Bennett, Jim Hall, Bob Guillozet, Jodi and Ray Prater and Eric.

My buddies were really pleasantly surprised when they came into our meeting room at the inn and were greeted and presented with gifts.

The next day they transported us to Jackson Center and Wapak for a tour of the Airstream plant and the space museum. What a great bunch of guys.

Jim Hall and Tilda also gave us a

tour of the Civil War display at the Historical Society in downtown Sidney.

I was with these guys for three years in the Army and 13 months of it in Korea in 1950-51. Our ranks are getting less at each reunion.

I urge any eligible vet to turn in an application for a trip to D.C. to see their memorial. I promise you, you’ll be treated like royalty by this committee.

FISH seeks volunteers To the editor: On behalf of the FISH Thrift Shop/Food Pantry, I want to express my appreciation to everyone who supported our booth at the 2013 Applefest. Your generosity enabled us to purchase more food for our food pantry. Also, a big thank you to our volunteers that provided the

delicious baked goods that we sold.

Congratulations to Dawn Copeland, winner of the beautiful quilt that was made by Pauline Warren.

Now for the bad news. We are desperately in need of more volunteers.

If we don’t get new people, we may have to shorten the number of

days that we are open to help the less fortunate. You can pick the day of the week, the hours and etc. that you would like to work. Please stop in the shop and talk with one of our volunteers. I look forward to meeting you.

Applefest parade great To the editor: This year’s parade at the Applefest was certainly a winner! So many groups participated, keeping the audience wondering what was coming next. And I was

so proud of our Sidney band, the number of students in the band, their marching and the music they were playing.

The other schools were also good. With all of our bands doing

so well, and so many other interesting participants, it was a great parade.

Renewing our commitment to strengthen the middle class Labor Day shouldn’t simply mark the end of summer. It should also mark the beginning of our renewed commitment to fighting for American workers and strengthening our middle class. Recently, I received an email from Bill Ross, an Ohio business leader, explaining what Labor Day means to him. He wrote: “I grew up in a firstgeneration immigrant family in a small Ohio town. My father, who obtained only an eighthgrade education (not uncommon for his generation), worked hard in an industrial job. My mother worked at home to care for our family of five children. When able to do so, she went to work outside the household, too. We rented a home for $25 a month, ate nutritious meals at home, and all walked to school with clean clothes each day. All five children went on to college, obtained post-graduate and professional degrees, and pursued rewarding professional careers in law, education and business.

“How did that happen?

Because, first and foremost, my father had a job with a living wage and health care for his family that his union protected.

Because we had access to good quality public education. Because we had access to affordable state universities and student loan programs that we could later afford to repay. Because blue collar working people had a chance.

“I hope we can restore all of that in America again.”

Bill’s right.

For generations, hardworking Americans have left their homes every morning – and some at night – to earn an honest living. They have bent swollen knees to put on steel-toe work boots to provide for loved ones.

They have put up with calloused hands to build a better life for their children. Middle-class Americans – and people struggling to enter the middle class – labor to ensure their children have enough food, enough clothes, and enough education to thrive.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) It's easy to be confused today, so don't worry if this is how you feel. You're not alone. Make an effort to make sure others understand your meaning.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Financial issues are subject to misunderstandings today, so be careful. If shopping, count your change and keep your receipts. Be alert to errors and slip-ups.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today the Moon is in your sign, but it is at odds with Neptune. This makes it easy to kid yourself about something. Don't do it!

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might have second thoughts or self-doubts today. No worries. We all get these from time to time. However, today it's as if there are weird spores in the air.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Conversations with others, especially females, are subject to confusion today. However, more than that, they also are subject to deceit.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be clear in all your communication with authority figures today. Don't be tempted to lie in order to save face about something. (You won't get away with it.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Don't be a sucker if someone tries to talk you into different ideas about politics, religion and racial issues. It's good to have an open mind, but today it's better to be on guard.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a poor day to make important decisions about inheritances, shared property or how to divide anything. If you think you're not getting your fair share, speak up!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Conversations with partners and close friends are subject to confusion and misunderstandings today. Be aware of this. Do your best to be clear in all communication.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Issues at work might be confusing today, because co-workers are either misinformed or deliberately giving you wrong information. (Surely not.)

Give others the benefit of the doubt, but double-check everything.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You might be disappointed in a romantic interest today. Don't take this seriously because you could be misreading signals. Parent should be vigilant about their children today, especially about ingesting poisonous materials.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Family conversations might disappoint you today. You might even wonder if someone is being totally honest with you. (Perhaps he or she is afraid to tell the truth.)

YOU BORN TODAY You are free spirit who loves fun, whimsy and imaginative escapades. You adore travel and exploring new places and ideas. However, you long for something to sink your teeth into --a passion to which you can commit. You're flirtatious and experimental, and yet, you want stability. This year an important choice will arise. Choose wisely.

Newlyweds visit D.C. There was a newlywed couple on the trip to Washington, D.C. Del and Jonie Bickel were married in June.

Del had planned to come on the trip before they got married.

“It’s been a wonderful time, just fantastic,” she said.

Bickel said he had his “arm twisted” by volunteer and neighbor Jim Barton to come on the trip.

“He twisted my arm and broke my leg,” laughed Del. “It’s been fantastic. The only bad thing is now it’s over.”

Del said he was surprised by the number

of people who came up to shake his hand while they were at the memorials.

“The atmosphere and everything else has been great,” he said.

Del said he had visited the Traveling Wall when it was in Sidney.

“It was an individual visiting the memorial in Sidney and a big group in D.C.,” he said. “I was just enjoying it all.”

Bickel said he “feels a lot more relieved” about how the veterans were treated when they came home all those years ago and how they were treated this weekend in D.C.

It was one for all and all for one during the Shelby County Vets to D.C. trip as the brothers Guillozet visited the memorials in Washington, D.C. Brother Larry was the veteran on the trip. He served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. Brother Jake was the caregiver. He is a veteran of the U.S. Marines and also served during the Vietnam War. Because he had already been to D.C. on vacation with his wife, he went as a caregiver. Third brother, Bob, went on the trip as a volunteer and a member of the chase vehicle team. They are three of 13 children and Jake and Larry are the only veterans of the group.

“I had heard about the trip from other people,” said Larry. “My brother (Bob) kept me informed about it.”

The trip was Larry’s first time to Washington. He really liked the wreath ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

“That was a pretty awesome ceremony,” said Bob. “The trip was very wellorganized,” said Jake. “The send-off was really special, too.”

For Larry, having both his brothers on the trip was wonderful.

“I don’t know if I would have done the trip without my brothers,” he said. “I’m happy to have them with me.”

This was Bob’s fifth trip as a volunteer.

“I had heard a lot of people talk about the trip and what they said was all true,” he said. “I hope all the veterans sign up for the next trip.

“I entered the Army at 18 and I learned a lot in two years. We learned a lot in the 1 1/2 days we’ve been on this trip,” said Stockton.

“The letters from the kids were neat. I was impressed by the send-off.

It was fantastic,” he said.

A wreath-laying ceremony was also held at the Vietnam Memorial Wall.

After holding a ceremony on one of the grassy knolls overlooking the wall, Craig Miller and Denny Brown carried the flag-shaped wreath made by the Sidney High School FCCLA members to the heart of the Wall where it was placed on display.

The veterans walked down the slope and looked at the names on the Wall. Some paused, others took etchings of a name of a friend who didn’t come home. All paid their respects to those who died in a war, far from their homes.

Committee member Mike Bennett led the ceremony at the Wall, talking about the sacrifices the veterans had made of their country.

The names of the Shelby County men who didn’t come home were read during the ceremony: Jerome R. Filling, James M. Ferguson, Robert J. Gold, Gary W. Gross, Charles

Vietnam veteran Mark McClain gets a welcome back hug Sunday from his wife, Shirley, moments after he stepped off one of two buses that took local veterans to Washington D.C.

G. Huston, Monte R. Jones, Terry Katterhenry, James D. Locker, Charles McFarlin, Robert J. Meyer, Benton J. Miller, William H. Miller, James E. Pleiman, Robert S. Prieser, Lawrence D. Rickey, Carl E. Taylor and Daniel W. Wolfe.

Twenty volunteers and two nurses traveled on the trip. Two rookies volunteers were Lisa and Scott Stewart, of DeGraff. The Stewarts have been involved with the program for many years. Stewart is the coach of the powerlifting team at Riverside High

School and has held fundraisers for the veterans group. One of his powerlifters was a volunteer on the trip several years ago.

“It was awesome,” said Mrs. Stewart. “I know it would be good but I didn’t know how rewarding it would feel afterward.

“There is a tight bond they (veterans) all have with each other.”

From the time he was a child, Steward thought veterans were “all that.”

“There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about veterans,” said Stewart. “The kids that I coach now — I try to instill in them what sacrifices they (veterans) have made for us.”

Stewart’s dad and brother both served in the military.

“Vietnam War veterans have a soft spot for me. One of my best friends is a Vietnam veteran,” he said.

“They paid a terrible price over there,” he said. “Then they continued to pay it when they came home.

“We never got to say welcome home to these guys. Maybe this is their welcome home.”

This was the ninth time the Shelby County Vets to D.C. has taken veterans to visit their memorials.

“It has gone exceptionally well,” said Jody Prater, committee co-chairman. “It’s been an emotional trip.

There’s been a lot of laughter, some tears and I think some healing.

“They know now that everyone appreciates what they did.”

A committee meeting in the near future will determine when the 10th trip to D.C. will be.

The group was welcomed back to Shelby County by family and friends Sunday afternoon.

ROACH: I found your column about granuloma annulare very interesting. I understand the writer’s frustration at not finding a cure for the problem.

Could you write about another skin condition that is also very resistant to treatment, prurigo nodularis? My husband has had it for several years, and it does not seem to respond to any treatment.

—I.F. ANSWER: Prurigo nodularis is an itchy skin condition of unknown cause. The disease is characterized by firm, dome-shaped, itchy nodules, most commonly on the backs of the arms and fronts of the legs, and sometimes on the body. They can be skin-colored, reddish or dark brown.

Some people have only a few; others have hundreds.

The itching is severe and is made worse by warm weather, sweating and irritation from clothing.

Dermatologists are the experts in treating this condition. Sometimes a biopsy is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. It usually is treated with powerful prescriptionstrength steroids, usually creams or ointments, but occasionally by injection.

Capsaicin cream also has been helpful. Very severe cases may need medication, such as thalidomide by mouth, but only an expert should be prescribing that.

DEAR ABBY: What is your opinion about females and car maintenance? My mother raised me alone and taught me to be independent. She would not let me drive an automatic car until I had mastered driving

a standard (stick shift). I was also not allowed to drive until I was able to perform basic, essential tasks — changing a tire, checking the oil and maintaining all fluid levels.

I am thankful and appreciate that I have these skills.

However, I know many women today who can’t perform these tasks and would rather make it a “man’s job.” I think every woman should have these skills. Where do you stand?

— INDEPENDENT LADY IN FLORIDA DEAR INDEPENDENT LADY: I stand beside you.

There is no guarantee that a woman will have a man to “take care” of her — in fact, the opposite is more likely to be true. However, if she can’t learn the basics of taking care of her car, she should be sure that she’s a member of AAA.

Reds pound Pirates, tie for wild card lead PITTSBURGH (AP) — Billy Hamilton remains perfect on the basepaths. The Cincinnati Reds remain perfect with their speedy rookie outfielder in the starting lineup.

The combination could prove potent during the final week of the regular season, and maybe beyond.

Hamilton got three hits and stole two more bases and the Reds routed Pittsburgh 11-3 Sunday to tie the Pirates for the NL wild-card lead. Batting right behind Hamilton, Chris Heisey had three hits and two RBIs as the Reds won two of three to pull even with the scuffling Pirates.

“Those guys set up some big innings,” Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker said. “You need guys in your lineup to drive in runs but it’s just as important to have guys to get on base so they can be driven in.”

The Reds and Pirates each have magic numbers of two to close out Washington and clinch a playoff spot. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh trail NL Central leader St. Louis by 2 1-2 games, pending the Cardinals’ night game at Milwaukee.

Jay Bruce hit a three-run double and Todd Frazier followed with a homer that capped a five-run burst in the first inning. Bronson

Arroyo (14-11) made it stand up, lasting five innings to win for the first time in nearly a month. The Reds won for the fifth time in six games to head home for a seasonending six-game homestand with some serious momentum.

“We knew it was an important series, they knew it was an important and our guys responded and jumped them early in this one,” Baker said. “It was a good win for us, an important win.”

Neil Walker hit his 13th homer of the season, but Pittsburgh stumbled in its home finale. The Pirates have lost five of seven and will have to clinch its first postseason berth in 21 years on the road. Pittsburgh begins a sixgame road trip on Monday in Chicago against the Cubs.

“Today we dug ourselves a little bit of a hole early and they never let up, kept their foot on the gas pedal,” Walker said. “We have to continue to play good baseball and things will go our way.”

They’re certainly going Hamilton’s way at the moment.

His presence has given the Reds a needed late-season jolt. He was at it again on Sunday, easily taking second base in the second inning and doing it again in the sixth. Hamilton is 12 for 12 on swipe tries since his late-season

promotion from Triple-A and is 6 for 14 and has scored nine times as a major leaguer.

Bruce had four RBIs and Chris Heisey added three hits while driving in two runs.

Jeff Locke (10-7) was tagged in

the first inning and didn’t come out for the second.

After morphing from fifth starter to improbable All-Star, Locke fell to 2-5 with a 6.12 ERA in the second half of the season. Locke’s next turn in

the rotation is scheduled for Saturday in Cincinnati, but an off-day on Thursday gives the Pirates some flexibility with their rotation for a series that could have serious playoff implications.

Cleveland Browns tight end Jordan Cameron, left, catches a 7-yard touchdown pass over Minnesota Vikings free safety Harrison Smith, right, during the second half of an NFL football game Sunday in Minneapolis.

Browns stun Vikings in final minute 31-27 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The young running back was traded away, the third-stringer was picked to start at quarterback, and Cleveland’s jaded fan base was already pushing this week for the first pick in next year’s draft.

The Browns haven’t given up on the season, though.

Minnesota’s might be slipping away.

Jordan Cameron caught three touchdown passes, including the go-ahead grab in the back of the end zone with 51 seconds left, and the Browns kept the Vikings winless with a 31-27 victory Sunday.

“If you let the distractions that are outside of the locker room affect the way you play, then you are tanking the season and you will have no chance,” said Joe Thomas, the three-time All-Pro left tackle.

Brian Hoyer threw for three scores in his second career start, and the Browns (1-2) became the latest team to torch Minnesota’s struggling secondary, which lost top

cornerback Chris Cook to a groin injury in the first quarter. Hoyer overcame three interceptions to throw for 321 yards, going 30 for 54. Josh Gordon had 10 catches for 146 yards and a touchdown in his season debut, and Cameron had six receptions for 66 yards.

“It’s just a matter of believing in Brian and believing in ourselves, and we did a good job of that,” Cameron said.

Christian Ponder ran for two touchdowns for the Vikings (0-3), but he threw an interception, lost a fumble and took his sixth sack on the final play of the game. The Vikings went three-andout six times, twice in the fourth quarter when they could’ve put the game away.

Ponder almost hit Jerome Simpson in a crowd at the goal line on the penultimate play, but the Vikings didn’t get closer than the 34.

“We’ve got to look ourselves in the mirror and change this around quickly, because we’re going

COLUMBUS – In its 92 seasons, Ohio Stadium has seen many, many great games.

Obviously, Ohio State’s 76-0 win over Florida A&M on Saturday wasn’t one of them.

It was the football version of a backyard basketball game where the bigger, stronger older brother blocks every shot his younger brother takes and wins without surrendering a basket. But after it’s over the younger sibling gets ice cream, or in Florida A&M’s case, a $900,000 check for its bumps, bruises and humiliation.

No. 4 Ohio State (4-0) did anything it wanted to do against Florida A&M, which plays a division down from the Buckeyes as an FCS school.

A&M’s nickname is the Rattlers, but they played more like the Rattled.

Backup quarterback Kenny Guiton brought his September magic to the stadium again, throwing for a schoolrecord six touchdowns when starter Braxton Miller did not dress for a second straight game.

Guiton broke the OSU record of five touch-

downs passes by Bob Hoying and John Borton.

Hoying did it twice – against Pittsburgh in 1995 and Purdue in 1994 – and Borton did it in 1952 against Washington State.

The Buckeyes’ 76 points were the most by an Ohio State team since an 83-21 win over Iowa in 1950.

Ohio State made the predictions that this game would be an epic mismatch come true in a hurry when it jumped out to a 34-0 lead after one quarter.

The Buckeyes’ first three scoring drives took one play, one play and two plays. They scored on 10 straight possessions from early in the first quarter until their only punt of the game in the opening minute of the fourth quarter.

When Ohio State coach Urban Meyer was asked what his team could take out of the game, he said, “We get to play in one of the biggest stadiums in college football and 103,000 people came out to watch us play. They have a right to see our kids play hard and they did.”

Guiton said OSU judged its performance by the standards it sets

for itself, not how it did against an obviously outmanned opponent.

“It’s evaluating yourself. It’s not really who you’re playing against,” he said.

Center Corey Linsley had a hard time thinking of anything that didn’t go right for Ohio State.

“I’m not trying to be arrogant or anything. I missed a couple blocks but in the grand scheme of things, we did a really good job,” he said.

Even the one time something went wrong in a major way for OSU, it turned out all right.

On Ohio State’s first possession of the game, Guiton was intercepted in the end zone by Patrick Aiken, who inexplicably tried to return it, rather than taking a touchback. Three yards into the field, Jordan Hall stripped the ball from his hands and recovered it at A&M’s 3-yard line.

On the next play, Hall scored the first of Ohio State’s 11 touchdowns.

Guiton was 24 of 34 for 215 yards and six touchdowns – all in the first half. Evan Spencer caught two touchdown passes and Jeff Heuerman, Devin Smith, Chris Fields and Carlos Hyde caught one.

Ten different receivers caught throws from Guiton, who has been OSU’s quarterback since Miller suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee early in the San Diego State game in week two of the season.

Hyde, the team’s No. 1 running back last season, returned from a threegame suspension with 5 carries for 41 yards, along with the touchdown catch on a one-yard shovel pass.

All 33 of Ohio State’s offensive plays in the second half were running plays. The chief beneficiary of that strategy was freshman running back Ezekiel Elliott, who rushed for 162 yards on 14 carries, all in the second half.

Elliott scored on a 16-yard run and a 13-yard run and broke loose for 57 yards on another carry.

How dominant was Ohio State? Florida A&M never advanced the ball farther than its own 47-yard line. The Buckeyes had 603 yards total offense, the second straight week they got over 600 yards, and ran as many plays (80) as the Rattlers managed in total yardage.

Bengals rally past Packers CINCINNATI (AP) — Terence Newman’s fumble return finished off a wild game that came down to who made the final flub.

And that would be the Packers.

Newman returned a fumble 58 yards for a touchdown with 3:47 left on Sunday, rallying the Cincinnati Bengals to a 34-30 victory over Green Bay in a game of wild momentum swings set up by nonstop turnovers.

Each team gave it away four times. Each team returned a fumble for a touchdown — M.D. Jennings ran one back for Green Bay (1-2). The Bengals blew a 14-point lead, and the Packers let a 16-point lead get away in the second half.

And no, the weather wasn’t a factor. Nobody could blame the cool, sunny afternoon for all the weirdness.

The Bengals (2-1) finished it off when Michael Johnson batted down Aaron Rodgers’ fourth-down

pass at the Cincinnati 20-yard line with 1:21 left, ending a subpar showing for the quarterback.

The second-half comeback completed an exhilarating week at Paul Brown Stadium for the Bengals, who beat AFC North rival Pittsburgh 20-10 on Monday night with an impressive defensive game.

The defense made the difference again against Rodgers and Green Bay’s high-powered but injurydepleted offense. Rodgers was 26 of 43 for 244 yards with a touchdown, but was sacked four times and threw two interceptions.

Green Bay lost tight end Jermichael Finley to a concussion and ran out of running backs.

Eddie Lacy was inactive with a concussion, James Starks hurt a knee in the first half, and rookie Johnathan Franklin ran for 103 yards and a touchdown before limping off at the start of the final series.

The Bengals were missing cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick, sidelined with a hamstring injury, but got plenty of pressure on Rodgers and made the deciding turnover.

Trying to put the game away, Green Bay went for it on fourthand-1 at the Cincinnati 30-yard line. Franklin was stripped of the ball at the line, safety Reggie Nelson picked it up but fumbled, and Newman scooped it up and went the rest of the way.

Cincinnati scored two touchdowns within a 12-second span in the first quarter, aided by a fumble on a kickoff, but wound up having to play catch-up as its offense bogged down.

Andy Dalton was 20 of 28 for 235 yards with two touchdowns, an interception and a fumble that Jennings returned 24 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter, sparking Green Bay’s comeback.

Dramatic finish gives Lady Cavs win CINCINNATI — Lehman’s girls remained unbeaten and did in dramatic fashion Saturday night at Cincinnati Madeira, scoring with one second remaining to win 2-1 and keep its record unbeaten at 9-0-1 on the year.

Lehman has now beaten Madeira and Summit Country Day in regular-season games, and Middletown Fenwick in a scrimmage this season. Those are the last three Division III state champions.

The game was deadlocked at 1-1 with time running out when Madeline Franklin ran down a loose ball and booted it toward the goal. Elizabeth Edwards was streaking down the right side and was left unmarked, and the ball came to her right in front of the goal. She knocked it in with the clock reading :01, and set off a wild celebration among the Lady Cavalier players.

“It was such a big game and what an exciting way to end it,” said Lehman coach Tony Schroeder. “It was going down to the end and I was figuring a tie, which I would have been happy with. But Madeline never gave up and chased that ball down. It was good to play them on their field and come away with a win.”

Madeira’s only other losses in a 6-3 season so far came to Summit and Division I Springboro.

Lehman got on the board five minutes into the game when Jenna Kronenberger got an assist on a goal by Ashley Keller, who ran the ball down in the box as the goalie was coming ip to clear it. She skidded it along into an unprotected net.

Madeira tied the game with 16 minutes left on a shot from 27 yards out that hit the crossbar and bounced in.

Grace Frantz had five saves for Lehman, which was outshot 8-6.

Madeira won the junior varsity game 1-0.

EDITOR’S NOTE — Anyone wanting to see the thrilling finish to Lehman’s game Saturday can do so on YouTube by typing in Lehman Catholic vs. Madeira.

The Bulldogs then scored just one minute into the second half on a penalty kick after Lehman was called for a handball in the box. Lehman had 5 shots on goal to Yellow Springs 18. Lehman falls to 4-4-1 while Yellow Springs goes to 6-2-2.

Cooperatives donate more than $400,000 to cancer research

Photo provided

OSU Vice President and Dean of the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences Bruce McPheron thanks Growing the Cure Campaign members for the cooperatives’ donation.

LONDON — Some of the world’s leading experts in cancer research have made groundbreaking discoveries right here in Ohio, such as finding ways to put the anti-cancer compounds found in black raspberries into other foods. And who better to help fund that research than five agricultural and energy cooperatives serving Ohio and Indiana.

Trupointe Cooperative, United Landmark LLC, Heritage Cooperative, Jackson Jennings Co-op and Town & Country Co-op recently presented a $138,637.13 check to The Cooperatives for the Cure of Cancer Fund and the Stefanie Spielman Fund, which both benefit cancer research at The Ohio State University. The check

was presented during the Vice President’s Luncheon at Farm Science Review in London.

The cooperatives joined forces in 2009 to begin the Cooperatives for the Cure of Cancer Fund, which has netted more than $400,000 to date. Supporting the fund are two campaigns — Growing the Cure, where money is donated for each sale of soybean seed and corn seed, and Fueling the Cure, where $1 is donated for every propane delivery. Ohio Gov. John Kasich spoke at the luncheon of bringing strong values back to America and the importance of helping one another, such as the cooperatives have done in donating back to the community.

Also speaking were OSU Interim

President Joseph A. Alutto, OSU Vice President and Dean of the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences Bruce McPheron, and others from Farm Science Review.

The Cooperatives for the Cure of Cancer Fund supports research at the OSU College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences and The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center — Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute. Broccoli, soybeans, eggs and other Midwestgrown foods are all part of the innovative research going on at OSU.

Ag Estate Planning Seminar held More than 25 local residents attended a program recently to help farm families think through issues of estate planning.

Presenter Chris Bruynis, an extension educator and county director of the OSU Extension office in Ross County, walked attendees through the planning, communication and personal interest issues each family may face. Bruynis also covered necessary legal documents and treating farm and nonfarm heirs equitably.

The event is part of a series of estate planning workshops provided by the Community Foundation of Shelby County, Lehman High School Foundation, Sidney-Shelby County YMCA Foundation and Wilson Memorial Hospital Foundation.

OSU Extenstion-Shelby County is considering an expanded series on agricultural Ashley Current estate planning in the upcoming winter months. For details, contact Dr. Debbie Brown at 498-7239.

For the first time in nearly 60 years, Sidney High School has an agricultural program.

Kreg McCullough is the new agricultural/food science education teacher at Sidney High School.

“We are so proud of the response we have had from the students and within the community

about this new program,” McCullough said. “We have just elected our first set of FFA officers for our first year.”

Officers are Guadalupe Marruffo, treasurer; Hannah Westerbeck, secretary; Emily Reid, reporter; Elliot Godwin, vice president; and Ashley Current, sentinel.

Upcoming Sidney FFA events include Sunday at Culver’s restaurant from 4 to 7 p.m. when a percentage of the proceeds will benefit local FFA chapters, and in October, fruit sales will start. People are reminded to contact a local FFA member in October to get their fruit later this fall.

Demand grows for shiitake mushrooms from Northeast

SHREWSBURY, Vt. (AP) — Lucas Jackson and Maeve Mangine shifted plans for a farm centered on a goat dairy after taking a workshop in growing shiitake mushrooms. All it took was logs from their land, mushroom spawn and their labor.

Now they’re selling the spongy rich mushrooms to several Vermont restaurants and a food cooperative and through a community supported agriculture farm. This season, they expect to produce about 500 pounds of mushrooms, which retail for as much as $16 a pound.

The couple’s Tangled Roots Farm in Shrewsbury is one of about 20 farms

chosen in Vermont and New York as research sites under a $116,000 U.S. Department of Agriculture grant provided to the University of Vermont Extension’s Center for Sustainable Agriculture and Cornell University Cooperative Extension in 2010.

A UVM-Cornell study conducted over the last three years under the grant has found that growing mushrooms outdoors can be profitable to farmers with at least 500 logs, bringing in $11,190 in gross income at $16 a pound, and that demand is outstripping supply.

Next month, the universities plan to complete a guide for growing shiitake mushrooms in the Northeast.
