Three routes will be offered: 20, 36 and 45 miles. This casual bike tour, along rolling fields with mostly flat terrain, will be a comfortable ride for all biking abilities. It will take place
mainly along country roads. Most of the churches along each route will be open with a parish host to welcome the pilgrims and share the history and beauty of their church. Tours of the Holy Relic Shrine will also be offered. Planning for the Kreuzweg began several years ago when Kettering Ascension School Principal Brent Devitt took part in a group tour that highlighted the Land of the Cross-Tipped Churches. He also traveled to Europe and took part in the Camino de Santiago and was inspired by that

Auglaize & Mercer Countries Convention & Visitors Bureau Executive Director Donna Grube said Devitt’s timing was perfect. The Ohio Department of Transportation wanted more activities and promotion among the byways across the state and this was a great way to share the history and beauty of ours with the public.

The Kreuzweg is intended as a family event, a time to leisurely ride along the colorful autumn countryside and spend time mar-
veling at the churches built by the early German settlers in the area . Registration at the shrine on Saturday will be from 7 to 10 am. The first Pilgrim’s Blessing, with riders leaving will be at 8 a.m. The cost is $20, which includes a T-shirt while supplies last. With no T-shirt, the cost will be $15 per participant.

ABERDEEN, Wash. (AP) — This month marks the 20th anniversary of Nirvana’s final studio album, and fans aren’t just able to buy a new “super deluxe” box set to celebrate the occasion. They can also buy the childhood home of late frontman Kurt Cobain, complete with his mattress. Cobain’s mother, Wendy O’Connor, is putting the tired, 1.5story bungalow two hours southwest of Seattle on the market this week. To help sell it, the family is offering a glimpse into the early life of its tortured and talented son through photos shot at the house, including one of a chocolate-frosted birthday cake for Kurt and a shot of a teenage Cobain smiling, guitar in hand, in his messy room. The home, last assessed at less than $67,000, is being listed for $500,000. It’s a short walk from a riverfront park dedicated to Cobain’s memory, and the family said it would welcome a partnership to make the home into a museum. His room still has the stencil-like band names — Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin — he reportedly put on the walls, as well as the holes he put in them. “We’ve decided to sell the home to create a legacy for Kurt, and yes, there are some mixed feelings since we have all loved the home and it carries so many great memories,” Cobain’s sister, Kim Cobain, said in an emailed statement. “But our family has moved on from Washington, and (we) feel it’s time to let go of the home.”

Cranston to guest on ‘How I Met Your Mother’ LOS ANGELES (AP) —
CBS says “Breaking Bad” star Bryan Cranston is coming back to “How I Met Your Mother.” Cranston will reprise his role as Hammond Druthers, who was Ted’s old boss until he had a meltdown, the network said Wednesday. Ted is played by series star Josh Radnor. It’s a real change of pace for Cranston, who plays teacher-turned-meth maker Walter White on AMC’s “Breaking Bad.” The series, which won a best drama Emmy Award last weekend, airs its season finale on Sunday.
that his parents are being cooperative. Marsee said the boy “hasn’t given a reason” for making the threat and that he has no history of behavioral problems. According to a statement released by Sheriff John Lenhart, “school officials reported finding a note and immediately contacted authorities. As that investigation got underway, a second note was discovered on Sept. 24.” “While the investigation is still ongoing, deputies have found no indication that any explosive device was actually constructed.” Reportedly, only a threat was made, according to Lenhart. “Even though an arrest has been made in this incident, the precautionary measures put in place (including) restricted building access, additional law enforcement personnel and explosive detecting K-9’s will continue to be present in the coming days,” Lenhart’s statement read. Anna Schools Superintendent Andy Bixler said authorities were initially looking at the high school, since that’s where the first note was found. But the second note was found in a restroom in the middle school, which led law enforcement to focus on younger students, he said.
“The law enforcement agents are the ones that interviewed the child,” Bixler said, noting that investigators believe the student arrested is linked to both notes. Bixler said “it’s a difficult situation all the way around” but noted the district must have “every possible safety measure” in place for the students who attend their schools. Bixler said it is a “big question” to figure out what is happening with today’s youth turning to criminal activity at young ages. Bixler said the school district will “continue to err on the side of caution” in protecting students at the school. Both the Sheriff’s Office and Anna Police are asking that anyone with information on the bomb threats call the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office at 937-498-1111 and ask for the detectives working on the case. Lenhart wanted to thank his detectives and Marsee for “their hard work in this case. The dedicated efforts of the school staff and law enforcement personnel have quickly brought this matter to a safe resolution.” Sheriff’s Detectives Aaron Steinke and Chris Brown assisted in the investigation.

From page 1 businesses cannot be exempt from complying with certain requirements of the Affordable Care Act popularly known as Obamacare. The Gilardis, who are Roman Catholic, say compliance would force them to violate their faith by providing contraceptives to their employees. Three judges heard the arguments made by Manion and opposing arguments by attorney Alisa Klein of the Justice Department. One of them asked most of his questions of Manion, seeming to require him to justify the Gilardis’ position. However, the other two judges had more questions for Klein, apparently needing greater justification of the government’s side of the issue. “As I perceive it, two judges asked questions of the lawyer for the government; that expressed skepticism of the government’s defense of this case,” Manion said. The next step is a waiting game, he noted. Each judge could write an opinion. That sometimes takes as little as 45 days and sometimes as long as six months. Manion, though, thinks that the decision will come sooner rather than later.
That’s because the Supreme Court is about to take up two similar cases involving Hobby Lobby and another business. “The Supreme Court will conference those is mid-November. If they grant review, it won’t be argued until next spring,” Manion said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if (the appeals court) issued an opinion by mid-November in order to get their opinion into the mix when the Supreme Court decides whether to go ahead with the petitions with the other cases.” To date, the Gilardi case is not scheduled to go before the Supreme Court. Freshway Foods/ Freshway Logistics received an injunction several months ago that permits them to refuse to provide contraceptives until their case is settled. That injunction is still in effect. “So they don’t have to change anything,” Manion said. They have claimed that paying fines for noncompliance would cost them $14.4 million per year. What the ACLJ will do now is check the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals’ website everyday to see if the decision has been posted.

Firefighters search through debris after an explosion at a home near Liberty Center Wednesday. Authorities say the explosion killed a woman and injured a man.
1 dead, 1 injured in home explosion County Emergency Management Agency. “There’s just nothing left.” Bodenbender said Judy Garwood, 63, of rural Holgate was killed and Steven Collins, 72, was injured. Collins was in fair condition Wednesday, a spokeswoman at Mercy St. Vincent Hospital in Toledo said. No other injuries were reported, but homes on either side of the house had structural damage and their residents were evacuated, Busch said. He said those homes appeared to have been shifted from their foundations. WTOL-TV in Toledo reported that neighbor Jean Sonnenberg said she heard a big boom. “Stuff starts flying,” she said.
LIBERTY CENTER (AP) — An explosion leveled a home in northwest Ohio on Wednesday, killing a woman and injuring a man and spreading debris around a quartermile area, a sheriff said, and a gas leak was the suspected cause. But authorities were still investigating, Henry County Sheriff Michael Bodenbender said in a release Wednesday. The explosion occurred around 7:30 a.m. in Liberty Township, about 30 miles southwest of Toledo. “It looked like the house got hit by a tornado, although you can tell it’s an explosion from the debris field,” said Tracy Busch, director of the Henry
“And I thought we had been hit by a plane.” Wednesday’s explosion comes about a week after another house explosion in northwest Ohio killed two people and injured three. Investigators were looking into whether a leaking liquid propane tank caused the Sept. 17 fire in Troy Township near the village of Stony Ridge, about 15 miles south of Toledo. One man died after being taken to a hospital, and the body of a woman was found in the rubble about six hours after that explosion
CLEVELAND (AP) — Leading Ohio Republicans including U.S. House Speaker John Boehner and the state attorney general have been subpoenaed to testify in a $100 million multi-state fraud trial, as the defense tries to show the defendant’s GOPleaning political donations were legal. Court documents show subpoenas also were issued for testimony given by two predecessors of Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, who has directed the fraud investigation. DeWine filed a motion late Wednesday to quash the subpoenas, saying there’s no indication that the individuals have relevant evidence that can help the defendant. The speaker’s office had no immediate comment. “The attorney general had no personal knowledge of the crimes Bobby Thompson committed when he stole millions of dollars by running a sham charity that was supposed to help our veterans,” spokeswoman Lisa Peterson Hackley
said in an email. The man who calls himself Bobby Thompson is scheduled to go on trial Monday in Cleveland on charges of defrauding people who donated to a reputed charity for Navy veterans, the United States Navy Veterans Association. He has showered politicians, often Republicans, with political donations. The defense wants to show that the political donations were legal, defense attorney Joseph Patituce said Wednesday. Thompson has been identified by authorities as Harvard-trained lawyer and former military intelligence officer John Donald Cody. He disappeared for almost two years after his 2010 indictment on theft, money laundering and other charges tied to his Tampa, Fla.-based charity. He was tracked and arrested last year in Portland, Ore., where agents and deputy marshals found him with fake IDs and a suitcase containing $980,000 in cash. DeWine said the crimes of which Thompson is accused can be proved without delving deeply into his political giving.
Ohio man executed for murder Julie Carr Smyth Associated Press
LUCASVILLE (AP) — A white gunman who spewed racial slurs before fatally shooting a black man and a police officer in a 1994 rampage that prosecutors called one of Ohio’s worst crimes was put to death Wednesday with the state’s last dose of its execution drug. Before the drug began to flow, Harry Mitts Jr. asked the families of his victims — John Bryant and Garfield Heights police Sgt. Dennis Glivar — to forgive him and not to hold hatred for him in their hearts.
Glivar’s widow, Debbie, wept as the 61-year-old Mitts said from a prison gurney that he’d carried the burden of his crimes with him for 19 years. “I had no business doing what I did,” he said. After the execution, Debbie Glivar said, “I won’t forgive him, ever.” Mitts was pronounced dead at 10:39 a.m. by lethal injection. He made snoring noises initially as the powerful sedative pentobarbital was administered. Prisons director Gary Mohr said the state is on track to tell a court next week how its executions will proceed now that its drug supply has expired.
Mitts was convicted of aggravated murder and attempted murder in the August 1994 rampage against random neighbors and responding police officers at his apartment complex in a Cleveland suburb. Wielding a gun with a laser sight and later other weapons, he first shouted racial epithets and killed Bryant, a neighbor’s boyfriend who was black, then shot and killed Glivar, who was white, as he responded to the scene. Mitts also shot and wounded two other police officers. Thomas Kaiser, Glivar’s partner and a witness to Wednesday’s execution, said Mitts’ death did
Harry Mitts
little to blunt the damage the lengthy case has caused.
“I don’t believe justice has been served,” said Kaiser, another of Mitts’ shooting victims. “Justice should not take 19 years for a case that had nothing — there was no ineffective counsel, there was no chance there was another suspect, none of the normal defenses that you hear. There was none of that in this case.” Mitts had told the Ohio Parole Board — which, along with Gov. John Kasich had rejected his pleas for mercy — that he had drunk heavily because he was distraught over his divorce and had likely shot Bryant to draw police to his home in hopes they would shoot and kill him.

COLUMBUS (AP) — The case of a landlady accused of fair housing violations because she refused to rent apartments to undercover antidiscrimination testers could get a final decision from Ohio’s civil rights agency Thursday. Helen Grybosky told undercover testers who said they had disability
dogs that pets weren’t allowed or required an extra deposit at an apartment in Conneaut in northeastern Ohio, a 2009 complaint by the Ohio Civil Rights Commission claims. Grybosky, 81, told another tester alleging to be a single mother with a child that she could only rent a downstairs unit at a higher cost, a second complaint claims. Both alleged violations of state

and federal law. The complaints were based on allegations filed with the commission in 2008 by Painesville, Ohio-based Fair Housing Resource Center, an antidiscrimination group that first investigated Grybosky. An administrative judge ruled against Grybosky last year and the commission upheld the judge’s ruling this summer. At issue Thursday are damages and attorneys’ fees facing Grybosky. In March, the judge recommended that Grybosky pay $12,000 in actual damages and $10,000 in punitive damages, along with $87,000 in attorneys’ fees to the commission and Fair Housing Resource Center. In late July, the commission modified the financial penalties, limit-

ing them to $100 in damages and about $9,000 in attorneys’ fees and travel costs. The commission based that modification on Grybosky not having a previous history of discrimination and the fact there were no actual victims of discrimination — only testers. But in August, the commission said it had changed its mind and would issue a new ruling Thursday. Grybosky’s attorney has long argued no discrimination occurred because testers and not real renters were involved. “Random testing of landlords by a housing agency does not result in actual harm or injury to the agency for which it can recover damages as a matter of law — Ohio and federal and common sense,” Tarin Hale, Grybosky’s attorney, wrote in a filing to the commission ahead of Thursday’s hearing. The executive director of Fair Housing said the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the use of testers to investigate housing discrimination, which she said is more subtle today. “Housing discrimination is often well-hidden and many Ohio residents do not know that they enjoy fair housing rights,” Patricia Kidd wrote in a filing with the commission asking it return to the judge’s recommendations. “Landlords have keys to tenants’ homes, decide who can and cannot rent scarce housing, and work mostly free from scrutiny.” Regardless of the commission’s decision Thursday, the case is likely to end up in the state court system on appeal by either Fair Housing or Grybosky.

Today is Thursday, Sept. 26, the 269th day of 2013. There are 96 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 26, 1789, Thomas Jefferson was confirmed by the Senate to be the first United States secretary of state; John Jay, the first chief justice; Edmund Randolph, the first attorney general. On this date: In 1777, British troops occupied Philadelphia during the American Revolution. In 1892, John Philip Sousa and his newly formed band performed publicly for the first time, at the Stillman Music Hall in Plainfield, N.J. In 1914, the Federal Trade Commission was established. In 1918, the MeuseArgonne offensive, resulting in an Allied victory against the Germans, began during World War I. In 1937, the radio drama “The Shadow,” starring Orson Welles, premiered on the Mutual Broadcasting System. In 1952, philosopher George Santayana died in Rome at age 88. In 1955, following word that President Dwight D. Eisenhower had suffered a heart attack, the New York Stock Exchange saw its worst price decline since 1929. In 1960, the first debate between presidential nominees took place in Chicago as Democrat John F. Kennedy and Republican Richard M. Nixon faced off before a national TV audience. In 1962, Maury Wills of the Los Angeles Dodgers stole his 100th base during a 13-1 victory over the Houston Colt .45s. “The Beverly Hillbillies” premiered on CBS. The cult film “Carnival of Souls” premiered in Lawrence, Kan., where parts of it had been filmed. In 1969, the family comedy series “The Brady Bunch” premiered on ABC-TV. In 1986, William H. Rehnquist was sworn in as the 16th chief justice of the United States, while Antonin Scalia joined the Supreme Court as its 103rd member. In 1990, the Motion Picture Association of America announced it had created a new rating, NC-17, to replace the X rating. In 1991, four men and four women began a twoyear stay inside a sealed-off structure in Oracle, Ariz., called Biosphere 2. They emerged from the structure on this date in 1993. Ten years ago: President George W. Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin opened a two-day summit at Camp David. The government issued a recall for Segway scooters, citing instances in which riders fell off when the batteries ran low.

Mass is OK; mass texting is not
VIENNA (AP) — Austria’s Roman Catholic church has learned its lesson. Mass is OK. Mass texting is not. A diocese in the southern city of Graz says it has been found guilty of contravening Austria’s telecommunications law by sending mass texts to the cellphones of followers asking them to pay overdue membership fees. Members of recognized religions in Austria must pay so-called “church taxes” or opt out of membership. For a Catholic, non-payment would mean no right to church sacraments. Diocese official Hertha Ferk was quoted by the Der Standard newspaper on Tuesday as saying the diocese has agreed to pay a fine that is under 10,000 euros ($13,475). A court took up the case after complaints from some of the 17,000 church members in arrears who received the text last year.

FBI: Navy Yard gunman left note about radio waves Eric Tucker Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Navy Yard gunman Aaron Alexis left a note saying he was driven to kill by months of bombardment with extremely low-frequency radio waves, the FBI said Wednesday in a disclosure that explains the phrase he etched on his shotgun: “My ELF Weapon!” Alexis did not target particular individuals during the Sept. 16 attack in which he killed 12 people, and there is no indication the shooting stemmed from any workplace dispute, said Valerie Parlave, assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Washington field office. Instead, authorities said, his behavior in the weeks before the shooting and recovered from his hotel room, backpack and other belongings reveal a man increasingly in the throes of paranoia and delusions. “Ultra-low frequency attack is what I’ve been subject to for the last 3 months, and to be perfectly honest that is what has driven me to this,” read an electronic document agents recovered after
the shooting. The attack came one month after Alexis had complained to police in Rhode Island that people were talking to him through the walls and ceilings of his hotel room and sending microwave vibrations into his body to deprive him of sleep. On his shotgun, he had scrawled “My ELF Weapon!” — an apparent reference to extremely low-frequency waves — along with “End to the Torment!” ”Not what yall say” and “Better off this way,” the FBI said. Alexis, a 34-year-old former Navy reservist and computer technician for a government contractor, used a valid badge to get into the Navy Yard and opened fire inside a building with the Remington shotgun, which he had legally purchased in Virginia two days earlier. He also used a 9 mm handgun that he took from a security guard, a weapon found near Alexis’s body. He was killed in the building by a U.S. Park Police officer following a rampage and shootout with police that the FBI said lasted more than an hour. “There are indicators that
Alexis was prepared to die during the attack and that he accepted death as the inevitable consequence of his actions,” Parlave said. Surveillance video released by the FBI on Wednesday shows Alexis pulling his rental car into a garage, walking into the building with a bag and then skulking down a corridor with a shotgun, ducking and crouching around a corner and walking briskly down a flight of stairs. The video does not show him actually shooting anyone. A timeline issued by the FBI shows Alexis started the rampage on the building’s fourth floor and then moved down to the third and first floors. He ultimately returned to the third floor, where he was killed around 9:25 a.m. FBI Director James Comey has said there’s no evidence that Alexis shot down into the atrium despite earlier accounts from witnesses at the scene. Alexis had started a job as a contractor in the building just a week before. Although there was a “routine performance-related issue addressed to him” on the Friday
before the Monday morning shooting, “there is no indication that this caused any sort of reaction from him,” Parlave said. “We have not determined there to be any previous relationship between Alexis and any of the victims,” she said. “There is no evidence or information at this point that indicates he targeted anyone he worked for or worked with. We do not see any one event as triggering this attack.” Defense officials have acknowledged that a lot of red flags were missed in Alexis’ background, allowing him to maintain a secret-level security clearance and access to a Navy installation despite a string of behavioral problems and brushes with the law. He worked for The Experts, a Florida-based computer firm that was a Hewlett-Packard subcontractor. Hewlett-Packard said Wednesday that it was severing ties with The Experts, accusing the company of failing to respond adequately to Alexis’ mental problems. A spokesman for The Experts didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment.

Pakistani villagers look for belongings amid the rubble of their destroyed homes following an earthquake in the remote district of Awaran, Baluchistan province, Pakistan, Wednesday. Rescuers struggled Wednesday to help thousands of people injured and left homeless after their houses collapsed in a massive earthquake in southwestern Pakistan Tuesday as the death toll rose to hundreds.
Earthquake survivors struggle for food, shelter Arshad Butt and Rebecca Santana Associated Press
DALBADI, Pakistan (AP) — Survivors built makeshift shelters with sticks and bed sheets Wednesday, a day after their mud houses were flattened in an earthquake that killed 285 people in southwestern Pakistan and pushed a new island up out of the Arabian Sea. While waiting for help to reach remote villages, hungry people dug through the rubble to find food. And the country’s poorest province struggled with a dearth of medical supplies,
hospitals and other aid. The quake flattened wide swathes of Awaran district, where it was centered, leaving much of the population homeless. Almost all of the 300 mudbrick homes in the village of Dalbadi were destroyed. Noor Ahmad said he was working when the quake struck and rushed home to find his house leveled and his wife and son dead. “I’m broken,” he said. “I have lost my family.” At least 373 people were also injured, according to a statement from the National Disaster
Management Authority, which gave the latest death toll. Doctors in the village treated some of the injured, but due to a scarcity of medicine and staff, they were mostly seen comforting residents. The remoteness of the area and the lack of infrastructure hampered relief efforts. Awaran district is one of the poorest in the country’s most impoverished province. Just getting to victims was challenging in a region with almost no roads where many people use four-wheel-drive vehicles and camels to traverse the rough terrain.
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Working near bodies crushed by rubble in a bullet-scarred, scorched mall, FBI agents began fingerprint, DNA and ballistic analysis Wednesday to help determine the identities and nationalities of victims and al-Shabab gunmen who attacked the shopping center, killing more than 60 people. A gaping hole in the mall’s roof was caused by Kenyan soldiers who fired rocket-propelled grenades inside, knocking out a support column, a government official told The Associated Press. The official, who insisted he not be identified because he was sharing security information, said the soldiers fired to distract a terrorist sniper so hostages could be evacuated. Video of the roof collapse showed massive carnage. The collapse came Monday, shortly after four large explosions rang out followed by billows of black smoke. Although a government minister said the terrorists had set mattresses on fire, causing the roof to collapse, the video showed such massive destruction that the explanation seemed unlikely to be the full story. Al-Shabab on its Twitter feed Wednesday claimed that the Kenyan government assault team carried out “a demolition” of the building. The current death toll is 67 and is likely to climb with uncounted bodies remaining in the wreckage of the Nairobi mall. Another 175 people were injured, including more than 60 who remain hospitalized. At least 18 foreigners were among those killed.
Amazon unveils Kindle Fire HDX Ryan Nakashima AP Business Writer
SEATTLE (AP) — Amazon is refreshing its lineup of tablet computers with new devices called Kindle Fire HDX, which are significantly faster and lighter than the previous generation. The 7-inch and 8.9-inch versions also have sharper, more colorful displays than older models, and both have more pixels per inch than the latest iPad. To help those who are unfamiliar with tablets, the new Kindles come with a feature called “Mayday,” which allows users to summon a live cus-
tomer service representative in a tiny video window. The helpers can explain new features or troubleshoot problems while guiding users with on-screen hand scribbles. They can even take control of the device from afar. CEO Jeff Bezos introduced the feature to reporters Tuesday, saying it is “completely unique” and takes advantage of Amazon’s massive cloud computing and customer service infrastructure. It also builds on Amazon.com Inc.’s reputation for excellent customer service. “You shouldn’t have to be
afraid of your device,” Bezos said. In a demo, Bezos asked an on-screen customer service rep to recommend a hot app. The rep mentioned “Angry Birds: Star Wars II.” Bezos also received instructions on how to set time limits on various activities for children. While the new Kindles are upgraded in several ways, Amazon also cut the price on what will be its entry-level 7-inch tablet, the Kindle Fire HD with 8 gigabytes of memory, to $139. The base HD model previously cost $199, but had 16 gigabytes of memory. The price
makes the tablet just $20 more than Amazon’s latest dedicated e-reader, the Kindle Paperwhite. The Kindle Fire HD is sheathed in a new magnesium alloy body like the HDX models, but has the same screen resolution and processing power of the older model. However, it drops the front-facing camera and microphone found in last year’s HD. Stephen Baker, a consumer technology analyst with research firm NPD Group, said the price cut to the Kindle Fire HD will do more to help Amazon compete in the tablet market than the added features on the newer models.
Syrian rebel groups break with exiled opposition Zeina Karam Associated Press
BEIRUT (AP) — Nearly a dozen of Syria’s powerful rebel factions, including one linked to al-Qaida, formally broke with the main opposition group in exile Wednesday and called for Islamic law in the country, dealing a severe blow to the Western-backed coalition. The new alliance is a potential turning point, entrenching the schism within the rebellion and giving President Bashar Assad fuel for his long-stated contention that his regime is battling Islamic extremists in the civil war. The Turkey-based Syrian National Coalition — the political arm of the Free Syrian Army
rebel group — has long been accused by those fighting inside Syria of being a puppet promoted by the West and Gulf Arab states supporting the Syrian rebellion. Wednesday’s public rejection of the coalition’s authority will likely be extremely damaging for its future in Syria, particularly at a time when the U.S. and Russia are pushing for peace talks. “If the groups involved stand by this statement, I think this could be a very big deal — especially if it develops into a more-structured alliance instead of just a joint position,” said political analyst Aron Lund. “It basically means that some of the biggest mainstream Islamist forces within the so-called FSA are breaking up with the
political leadership appointed for them by the West and Gulf states, to cast their lot with more hard-line and anti-Western Islamists,” he said. The announcement came less than two weeks after the coalition elected an interim prime minister, Ahmad Touma, charging him with organizing governance in oppositionheld territories that have descended into chaos and infighting. In a joint statement, 11 rebel groups that are influential in Aleppo province in the north, including Jabhat al-Nusra, which is listed as a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department, said they rejected the authority of the Syrian National Coalition as well as Touma’s appointment.

Bill From page 1 Chris Chocola, president of the Club for Growth, said Americans owe â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cruz a debt of gratitude for standing on principle in the fight to stop Obamacare.â&#x20AC;? In addition to the praise, Cruz he drew a withering rebuttal from one fellow Republican, Arizona Sen. John McCain. McCain read aloud Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments from Tuesday comparing those who doubt the possibility of eradicating the health care law to former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlin and others who had suggested Adolf Hitler and the Nazis could not be stopped in the 1940s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I resoundingly reject that allegation,â&#x20AC;? said McCain, whose grandfather led U.S. carrier forces in the Pacific during World War II, and whose father commanded two submarines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It does a great disservice to those Americans who stood up and said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in Europe cannot stand.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Even with the 100-0 vote, the legislation faces several hurdles that must be overcome as both houses and lawmakers in both parties work to avoid a partial shutdown next Tuesday. The struggle over restoring funds for the health care law is by far the most contentious unresolved issue. Senate Democrats also want to increase funding for fed-
eral firefighting efforts without making offsetting cuts to other programs. The House-passed bill provides $636 million for the program, but includes reductions elsewhere to avoid raising the deficit. To avoid a partial government shutdown, a single, agreed-upon version must be approved by Congress and signed by Obama by Tuesday. Officials pointed out that there is still time for the Senate to restore the funds for the health care law â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and for the House to seek a more modest overhaul concession, perhaps a one-year delay in the requirement for individuals to purchase coverage or the repeal of a tax on medical devices that many Democrats oppose. The shutdown issue is a particularly haunting one for Republicans, some of whom were in Congress two decades ago when the GOP suffered politically as the result of a pair of government closures in the winter of 1995-1996. In a further complication, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew told Congress that the Treasuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to borrow funds will be exhausted on Oct. 17, and legislation is needed to renew its authority if the government is to avoid a first-ever default. The House is expected to approve a measure later this

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas talks to reporters as he emerges from the Senate Chamber on Capitol Hill in Washington Wednesday after his overnight crusade railing against the Affordable Care Act, popularly known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obamacare.â&#x20AC;? Cruz ended the marathon Senate speech opposing President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care law after talking for 21 hours, 19 minutes.
week allowing Treasury to borrow freely for another year, although that legislation, too, will include a provision to carry out the Republican campaign against â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obamacare.â&#x20AC;? While no final decisions have been made, party officials say a one-year delay is likely to be added, rather than the full-fledged defunding that is part of the spending bill awaiting action in the Senate. If the events themselves were complicated, the political maneuvering was no less so. At least temporarily, they pitted Cruz and his tea party allies inside Congress and out
against the party establishment, including House Speaker John Boehner and the Senate GOP leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. Little more than a week ago, conservatives in the House rank and file forced Boehner and other leaders to include the defunding provision on legislation required to avoid a shutdown, despite their concerns that it would set the party up for failure. Within hours after the measure cleared the House, Cruz infuriated his allies by virtually conceding he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the votes to prevail in the Senate,
and stating that â&#x20AC;&#x153;At that point, House Republicans must stand firm, hold their ground and continue to listen to the American people.â&#x20AC;? Cruz appeared at a news conference the next day to proclaim he would do â&#x20AC;&#x153;everything and anything possible to defund Obamacare,â&#x20AC;? including a possible filibuster of legislation to prevent a shutdown. Senate Republicans were less than enthusiastic about that, and several said so and made it clear they would not follow the path that Cruz laid out of seizing every opportunity to slow or stop the bill. By Tuesday, the Texan was under pressure from fellow Senate Republicans to let the legislation pass relatively quickly, to make sure the government stayed open. When he began his remarks, he vowed to speak in opposition until â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am no longer able to stand.â&#x20AC;? Nearly 24 hours later, he offered to shorten the time it would take to debate the measure and voted along with Republicans and Democrats alike to send it over its first hurdle. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Associated Press writers Donna Cassata, Andrew Taylor and Stephen Ohlemacher and Social Media Editor Eric Carvin contributed to this story.

assault on the U.S. consulate there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lois Lerner (of the IRS) retired yesterday,â&#x20AC;? Gowdy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fired. She rode off into the sunset with her pension. She needs to come back to a committee of Congress,â&#x20AC;? he said to cheers from the audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know what they call defendants who change their defense six different times?â&#x20AC;? he asked, referring to the many reasons the IRS has given for its actions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They call them inmates.â&#x20AC;? Gowdy made an impas-
sioned plea for a grand jury to weigh in on the IRS investigation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need witnesses,â&#x20AC;? he said. A grand jury can issue subpoenas and put people under oath, he said. The process is on hold now while the court decides whether Attorney General Eric Holder must provide documents requested by the committee. Gowdy then referenced recent claims popularized in the press that what he called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Benghazi scandalâ&#x20AC;? is phony.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not phony to the people who suffered the greatest loss,â&#x20AC;? Gowdy said, after telling the audience that he had sat with relatives of the victims. Too many questions remain unanswered, he added. He would like to subpoena Hillary Clinton and several others to appear before the Oversight Committee. He told the group to continue to put pressure on the Obama administration and the Democrat Senate on Obamacare, Benghazi and the IRS.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you for loving your country enough to ask tough questions and hold it accountable,â&#x20AC;? Gowdy said. In response to comments from the audience, Jordan and Gowdy stressed that the way to change government is at the ballot box. They noted that elections in 2014 for the Senate and 2016 for the White House will be all-important. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want to change the dynamic of the government, we have to get control of the Senate. There are five states that are red-leaning states,â&#x20AC;? Jordan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can win them for the Senate, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a different government. The president wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to hide behind Harry Reid (D-Nev., the Senate majority leader).â&#x20AC;? Local attendees expressed opinions about the looming possiblity of government shut-down and the repeal some Republicans are demanding of the Affordable Care Act. One woman illustrated that even in Sidney, a rift in the Republican party is evident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is (House Speaker John) Boehner (R-West Chester, 8th District) going to waver and give a temporary budget or are we going to stand firm?â&#x20AC;? a woman asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone understands this law, Obamacare, is not ready,â&#x20AC;? Jordan responded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When this bill rebounds back to us, we need to get something to delay the bill. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working on what we want our leadership to get on this bill.â&#x20AC;? The congressmen also answered questions about early voting, gun ownership laws, and the use of executive orders. Jordan told the audience that Liberty Group members were responsible, along with others, for breaking the IRS scandal by asking why the Shelby County Liberty Group was being treated as it was. He added that the American public prevented the country from going to war with Syria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we want to win, we should nominate conservatives,â&#x20AC;? he said.

mandment. God commanded us TEACH all nations, baptize them, and then TEACH them to observe all things whatsoever he has commanded. This I feel is the neglected commandment. Jesus spent three years teaching his disciples. He then left them to carry on the work he trained them to do. He did not leave them until they were ready to disciple others. He has asked us to disciple others as he did. We are so focused on getting people saved that we forget to teach them to observe all things whatsoever he has commanded us. Discipleship is not going to come in just a curriculum but will come in an investment of yourself. God showed me that if I wanted to really change the
world I had to start with me. I can sit back and be mad at all the blatant sin but it’s not going to change it. To change it I have to invest my life into someone else. I have to be willing to sacrifice time, energy and even money to TEACH someone else the ways of God. To stay with them until they are ready to TEACH someone else the ways of God. For me it is clear what God wants from me. Ask yourself today what God wants from you and keep his commandments. I love God and I am going to keep his command. How about you. The writer is the pastor of Faith Baptist Church, Sidney.
Church plans 85th anniversary event
On Sunday at 11 a.m., the Northtowne Church of God will celebrate its 85th anniversary and Homecoming. Pastor emeritus Merle Laws will be the guest speaker for the service. The church is located at 2008 Wapakoneta Ave. The Northtowne Church family and Pastor Tim Bartee invites the community to come and be a part of this special celebration. For more information call the church office at 492-1476. On Aug. 29, 1928, with eight people present, Pastor J. H. Bryant, who had moved from Kentucky, had the first church service of the Church of God of the Mountain Assembly, in Sidney. This first service was held in a small storefront located in the 600 block of North Main Ave. A number of pastors served the church over the years. Merle Laws
became the pastor on Aug. 28, 1971, and he and his family served the church for the next 27 years. Under his leadership, a new facility was constructed on the church property at the corner of Parkwood Street and Wapakoneta Avenue. On Dec. 13, 1974, the first service was conducted. This location has been the church’s home ever since. In 1998, Laws felt it was time to retire. He and his wife, Marlin, remain members. Ken Ellis was his successor and remained at the church for the next eight years. In 2006, Tim Bartee became the pastor and is currently serving the Northtowne church family. In 2011, the church built an activity center, which nearly doubled the square footage of the church facility. The church continues after 85 years to reach out to Sidney and Shelby County through Merle and Marlin Laws its programs.
God leads pastor to Sidney congregation Melanie Speicher

A life full of nudges from God has led the Rev. Diana Circelli to Sidney and the First Presbyterian Church here. Circelli, who moved to Sidney recently with her husband, Phil, presented her first sermon at the church on Sept. 15. She had been the pastor at the Mount Perry Presbyterian Church in Perry County for 10 years. The church had 100 members and the town itself had “52 people in it.” God, she said, has guided her in her path from her hometown of McCook, Neb., to Sidney. Circelli attended college at McCook Community College and graduated from Adams State College in Alamosa, Colo., in 1977. She has dual majors of speech communication and foreign language. She has worked in the communication field in radio, newspaper and television. She married Paul Mowry, a newspaper sports editor in McCook. They are the parents of two children, Russell and Rebecca. The family moved all over the United States with her husband’s job. “When my kids were in school, and in my spare time, I wrote for inspirational magazines such as Live and Guideposts,” she said.”It was good to be published.” The family lived in Mesa, Ariz., for 10 years. During that time, Circelli entered a contest with Guideposts and won a contest in 1992 where she worked with the editors for the magazines in New York. “God touched my life in an obvious way then,” she

The Rev. Diana Circelli
said. “I just knew it was God.” Circelli said she was “hungry to know the word, to know the Bible,” so she began to take classes at the Fuller Seminary in Phoenix to “satisfy that hunger.” The first classes she took led her taking more and more classes. “The Presbyterian Church monitors classes that are taken,” she said. “They called me and said, ‘we see you want to be a pastor.’ I said not really. That can’t be me.” So Circelli began praying to God, asking him to give her a sign of what she should do. “I said God I would do anything for you. But this was not what I wanted to do with my life. If you say stop taking classes, I will. “Two years later, I was halfway through the seminary,” she said. While her classwork continued, Circelli learned to become a Presbyterian pastor she must graduate from a Presbyterian seminary. “I was 1,000 miles away from any seminary,” she said. “One month later, the newspaper where my husband worked was sold and he was transferred to
Austin, Texas.” And guess what was in Austin — a Presbyterian seminary. “God has had a hand in this always,” she said. In 1999, she graduated from the seminary and waited for three years before receiving a church of her own. During the wait, she was a choir director at a Baptist Church. She and her husband divorced in 2002. She moved to Ohio where she became pastor of the church in Perry County. “Last November the church switched to an Evangelical Presbyterian Church, which doesn’t allow pastors of other denominations to lead it,” she said. She is ordained in the Presbyterian Church USA. After learning of the change, Circelli began looking for another church. “Twenty-four churches contacted me in three months,” said Circelli. One of those churches was in Sidney. “God led me to this church,” she said. “There are beautiful, generous and loving people in this congregation. I am honored that God has put me here.” Circelli said she welcomes the challenges of going to a new church. “This church has been beset with recent dwindling membership. I find that challenge very intriguing. I was trained in revitalization and creating a healthy congregation. I feel there is big potential for the church.” She shared she’s “just doing what God’s asking me to do. And that’s to love the congregation and to find our own identity in Sidney. This takes prayer and asking God what he wants us to do. “We are listening to the
voice of God. There’s something God wants the church to do here. We just have to listen.” The Circellis moved to Sidney Sept. 14 and the church members helped them with the move. Her first sermon on Sept. 16 “was terrific,” she said. During her 10 years in Perry County, she met her husband, Phil. They were married in 2005. He is in the antique business with his sister. They have booths in Springfield, Lancaster and Berlin. He also restores houses and will be working on the home they just moved into — a Victorian on Ohio Avenue. “He’s itching to restore it,” she said. Her mother will be moving to Ohio from Colorado to live with them in October, she said. “She’s 90 years old and can still beat me at ‘Jeopardy.’” Her son, Russell, is a Presbyterian pastor in Sewickley, Pa. He and his wife, Jessica, recently welcomed a daughter, Etta Jean, to their family. Daughter Rebecca is a wildlife officer with the state of Texas. Circelli said there is a sermon each Sunday at 10:30 a.m. There are also Bible studies on Sunday and a children’s church. “I’m expecting the church to grow,” she said. “I’m confident it’s going to grow.” She said there are between 100-160 members in the church. “Anybody who wants to see God do something big, come on in because something big is going to happen. Something amazing,” she said.

Christian Academy announces annual Faith Banquet
After reading these verses I was feeling pretty justified in my anger toward blatant rebellion against God. Then God led me to Matthew 28:18-20: “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all thing whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” After reading this section, the Holy Spirit broke me down. I was angry at blatant sin and should be but I was sinning as well. I love God but I haven’t been keeping his com-

Culver’s of Sidney, 2575 Michigan St., has partnered with the Anna and Sidney FFA advisers as part of a larger, nationwide effort by Culver’s and its guests to thank the family farmers on which the restaurants depend by donating 10 percent of its sales on Sept. 29 from 4 to 7 p.m. to these chapters. The Thank You, Farmers partnership in participating restaurants all over the U.S. was unveiled in July to help spread awareness and generate support for this nation’s hardworking farmers. “Culver’s restaurants as a whole have depended on family farms since
the first restaurant opened in 1984,” said Culver’s of Sidney owner David Potts. “We want to show our gratitude by helping support the next generation of farmers. The FFA adviser from Anna, Sarah Heilers, was a great partner in our campaign and brought in the other local chapters. Our guests have been donating $1 by purchasing wall decals for the past several weeks and all funds collected will be distributed to these schools.” The Anna and Sidney FFAs help the next generation meet the challenges of feeding a growing population by encouraging members to
develop their own unique talents and explore their agricultural interests in a broad range of career pathways, from future farmers to biologists to veterinarians. Culver’s of Sidney takes pride in being an active member of the community by supporting local charities and organizations since 2007. “Culver’s is proud to call the dairy land of Wisconsin home,” said Craig Culver, CEO and cofounder of Culver’s. “Coming from a place connected to the farms that produce the dairy and grow the food that’s made the restaurant what it is, celebrating and supporting the FFA just feels right.”

Christmas alive. The season will close on March 15 with “Princess and the Pea,” based on the story by Hans Christian Andersen. One stormy evening, a young princess drenched with rain arrives at a castle in need of shelter. The prince who lives there falls instantly in love and wants to marry her. The queen does not believe the young woman is a real princess, so she places a pea under a pile of mattresses to test the young woman. After all, only a true princess is delicate enough to feel the pea.

Feeling the sibling love
Wonderful Weber
BY JOHN HUSA You may know what it is like to go to school with your siblings. It has its good days, and it has its bad days. However, going to school with your sibling gives you the opportunity to make many memories with them. This year, there are 11 sibling pairs in the junior and freshmen classes! This list consists of (junior, freshman) Noah and Eli Baker, Kyle and Lexi Caulfield, Nick and Jake Earhart, Thomas and Jack Covault, Jackson and Ben Frantz, Nick and Jared Rourke, John and Theresa Schmiesing, Kaitlin and Kara Gillman, and Elizabeth and Katie Edwards. Plus there are two “threes” - junior Skylar and freshmen Tessa and Seth Brown; and junior Austin and freshmen Dylan and Cameron Arnold. “The best part about going to school with Katie is playing soccer with her, and all the fun we have together. I am looking forward to sharing high school experiences with her,” said junior Elizabeth Edwards. Junior John Schmiesing said, “My favorite part about going to school with my sister has been getting to spend more time with her on the drive to school, in band, and on the cross country team.” “A lot of people know me because of my brother, and it has been nice going to school with him,” said freshman Jake Earhart. It is great to see the positive attitude from the siblings. Things are not always easy with one another, but there are plenty of great times that lie ahead. This is only the beginning of the many memories these siblings will share with each other throughout high school.
BY EMILY HOERSTEN The Lehman Science Department has been blessed to add a not-so-new teacher to their staff this year. Mrs. Weber is once again teaching in a Lehman classroom. She teaches AP Biology, Chemistry, and Integrated Science. Weber taught AP Biology and Environmental Science at Lehman from 2007-2009. Last year, she taught basic math part time at Edison, but chose to return to Lehman for one more year to help out. When Weber was in school, science was her favorite subject. She attended St. Louis University as a biology major. She also spent eight years doing medical research in Mississippi before moving to Ohio. Weber has enough experience and schooling to teach AP Biology, a college level class. “I really appreciate the Lehman family,” said Weber. Everyone who enters knows how welcoming the school is to new staff and new students.” This is true because being so small, we share a strong bond with all of the members of the Lehman community. In addition to teaching, Weber helps out in numerous other ways. She uses her piano talents to accompany the show choir, and to coach vocals and play piano for the annual musical. She is also playing for school Masses and coordinating the Music Ministry. Be sure to welcome Mrs. Weber back to Lehman with a smile. With all that she has done for the school, she greatly deserves all of our appreciation.

BY: MADILYN BROWN Although he hasn’t been coaching the golf team at Lehman for long, Mr. Harrmann is doing an excellent job leading the Cavaliers to victory. Harrmann coached the team last year and helped the now graduated John Copella all the way to state. “The experience I got from the first year of coaching has helped me become more aware of how the league works and how competition is between high schools,” said Harrmann. “I like playing golf but coaching it is even more fun.” This year the team has already completed some outstanding accomplishments. Junior, Sam Dean has been a medalist in 90% of his matches. Not only that, but once he was two strokes away from tying the school record. The team has plenty of experience with three senior members on the team. Bryce Eck, Michael Rinehart, and Mitchell Shroyer are all four year members of the golf team. “Being part of Lehman golf has really become a great part of my life and there’s no doubt that I’m going to miss it next year,” said third year varsity member Eck. Not only are the seniors going to miss golf, but the team is definitely going to miss them. “The three seniors have been great leaders over the past four years and have been truly committed to Lehman as well as the sport of golf,” said Harrmann. “Although they will be missed sorely, we wish them the best of luck and great success in the future and hope that our underclassmen will be able to fill their shoes.”

Fortunately, these be anywhere from unnotice- are much better at preventable to devastating. A TIA ing stroke than they used (transient ischemic attack) to be.
Stents have been tried but have not been successful. I have read preliminary data on stem cells being used for acute stroke, but I don’t know of any results from using stem cells to prevent stroke. DEAR DR. ROACH: Every time I fly, my ears bother me terribly for weeks. It seems that in the first part of the trip, my ears pop for about an hour after landing but then clear up. On the return trip, as soon as the plane begins to descend, the pressure builds despite swallowing, yawning, etc., and then they plug horribly for two to three weeks, popping on and off and affecting my hearing. I saw an ENT doctor, who just recommended a decongestant, but that didn’t help the one time I tried it. This spoils any vacation I want to take. Please help. I really want to enjoy life and take a trip. What can I do, and why does this happen? —J.H. A N SW E R : The Eustachian tube connects the middle ear with the back
of the throat. It regulates the pressure inside the air-filled middle ear so that you can hear properly across a range of pressures. If it doesn’t work properly, you can feel discomfort as the tympanic membrane (eardrum) bulges out (when, for example you are going up in a plane and the pressure outside the ear is less than inside) or bulges inward (if you are taking a dive underwater). Yours isn’t working properly. This can happen due to infections, allergies, while pregnant or with a variety of medical conditions. Some people’s Eustachian tubes just don’t work well because of their anatomy. I do agree with your ENT doctor that a decongestant is helpful. However, in my experience, a decongestant spray is more effective. This is the one situation in which I prescribe Afrin (I have seen too many people use it longer than the three days it should be). But one spray 12 hours before flying and another right before boarding the plane works very well for most people.
100 years Sept. 26, 1913 Every resident in Sidney and especially every school child will be delighted to learn the news that Mrs. Julia A. Lamb has purchased all the Oldham property on North street, extending from the new high school building to the river, and has given the same to the city for a playground, to be held forever for that purpose. She has also given $500 to aid in improving the property. Should the ground be diverted from the purpose for which it is given it shall go to the Presbyterian church. The board of education is negotiating for the land joining this property and hope to make it into an athletic field and build a stadium. ––––– While driving down the standpipe hill this afternoon, Elmer Sturm, who was driving the city mail wagon for carrier Michael, had a runaway.

Should we continue to give her money because it may affect our nephews if we don’t? — AUNT IN THE SOUTH DEAR AUNT: That you have tolerated this for 10 years tells me you and your husband are kindhearted and responsible people, and I respect that. However, fathers have a legal responsibility to support their children, and your sisterin-law should make sure it happens whether that involves hiring an attorney to help or applying for funds from the state to see her boys are taken care of. If you must give her money, give her enough for a consultation with an attorney because “Sissie” appears to have been using you.

The accident might occur because you are distracted. Forewarned is forearmed. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Keep an eye on your money today. You might find money; you might lose money. It's a good idea to guard your possessions against loss or theft. Better to be safe than sorry. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might feel rebellious today or impulsive. Guard against knee-jerk reactions that make you do things you might later regret. If you act with discipline, you'll have no regrets. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a restless day for you. Just accept this and go with the flow. By tomorrow, everything is back to normal. But today requires patience and inner discipline. (No biggie.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A friend might surprise you today or catch you off-guard. Alternatively, you might meet someone who is a real character. Someone bizarre!

And definitely don't quit your day job. Give everything a sober second thought. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Travel plans will be interrupted today, perhaps canceled or delayed. Similarly, school plans might be canceled or rescheduled. It's just one of those things. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Stay in touch with your bank account and financial situation, because a few surprises could catch you off-guard. Make sure your checks aren't bouncing like rubber balls. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Partners and close friends are hard to predict today. Someone might demand more space in the relationship or say something that puzzles you. Just be patient. Slowly, slowly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Computer crashes, power outages, staff shortages and canceled meetings are some reasons your workday will be interrupted. Just grin and bear it. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Parents take note: This is an accident-prone day for your kids, so be vigilant. Fortunately, the influence is relatively minor. YOU BORN TODAY You appear casual, witty, urbane and cool to others --and you are these things. You can be very successful.

This year will be social and fun-loving. All your relationships will improve. Birthdate of: Meat Loaf, musician; Sofia Milos, actress; Anna Camp, actress.

Obamacare trade-off: low premium and high deductible Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — You might be pleased with the low monthly premium for one of the new health insurance plans under President Barack Obama’s overhaul, but the added expense of copayments and deductibles could burn a hole in your wallet. An independent analysis released Wednesday, on the heels of an administration report emphasizing affordable premiums, is helping to fill out the bottom line for consumers. The annual deductible for a mid-range “silver” plan averaged $2,550 in a sample of six states studied by Avalere Health, or more than twice the typical deductible in employer plans. A deductible is the amount consumers must pay each year before their plan starts picking up the bills. Americans looking for a health plan in new state insurance markets that open next week will face a trade-off familiar to purchasers of automobile coverage: to keep your premiums manageable, you agree to pay a bigger chunk of the repair bill if you get in a crash. Except that unlike an auto accident, serious illness is often not a selfcontained event. Avalere also found that the new plans will require patients to pay a hefty share of the cost — 40 percent on average — for certain pricey drugs, like the newer specialty medications used to treat intractable chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. On the other hand, preventive care will be free of charge to the patient. “Consumers will need to balance lower monthly premiums against the potential for unpredictable, expensive out-ofpocket costs in plans with higher deductibles,” said Caroline Pearson, a vice president of the private market analysis firm. “There is a risk that patients could forgo needed care when faced with high up-front deductibles.” Responding to the Avalere study, the Obama administration acknowledged the new plans aren’t as generous as employer coverage, but said they nonetheless represent a big improvement over currently available individual policies, which can have gaps in coverage and even larger out-ofpocket costs. Also on Wednesday, the administration unveiled premiums and plan choices for 36 states where the federal government is taking the lead to cover uninsured residents. Insurance markets that go live Oct. 1 will offer subsidized private coverage to people who do not have health insurance on the job, including the uninsured and those who currently buy their own policies. Before new tax credits that work like a discount for most consumers, premiums for a mid-range “silver” benchmark plan will average $328 a month nationally for an individual, the administration report found. Beneath that average are wide differences for individuals, depending on where they live, how much they make, and other factors. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the average consumer will be able to choose among more than 50 plan options.
“For millions of Americans, these new options will finally make health insurance work within their budgets,” Sebelius told reporters in a preview call Tuesday. The markets — called “exchanges” in some states — are the only place where consumers will be able to get a tax credit for health insurance. HHS estimated that about 95 percent of consumers will have two or more insurers to choose from. And the administration says premiums will generally be lower than what congressional budget experts estimated when the legislation was being debated. About one-fourth of the insurers participating are new to the individual coverage market, a sign that could be good for competition. But averages can be misleading. When it comes to the new health care law, individuals can get dramatically different results based on their particular circumstances. Where you live, the plan you pick, family size, age, tax credits based on your income, and even tobacco use will all impact the bottom line. All those variables could make the system hard to navigate. For example, the average individual premium for a benchmark policy known as the “secondlowest-cost silver plan” ranges from a low of $192 in Minnesota to a high of $516 in Wyoming. That’s the sticker price, before tax credits. In the three states with the highest uninsured population, the benchmark plan will average $373 in California, $305 in Texas, and $328 in Florida. Differences between states can be due to the number of insurers competing and other factors. “One surprise is Texas,” said Larry Levitt of the Kaiser Family Foundation. “That is a state that has put up roadblocks to implementation, but the premiums there are below average.” The second-lowestcost silver plan is important because tax credits are keyed to its cost in local areas. But consumers don’t have to take silver. They can pick from four levels of coverage, from bronze to platinum. All the plans cover the same benefits and cap annual out-of-pocket expenses at $6,350 for an individual, $12,700 for families. The big difference is cost sharing through annual deductibles and copayments. Bronze covers 60 percent of expected costs; silver, 70 percent, on up to platinum at 90 percent. Bronze plans have the lowest premiums and the highest cost sharing. As the Avalere study showed, premiums aren’t the only factor consumers should weigh. The flurry of new reports comes as the White House swings into full campaign mode to promote the benefits of the Affordable Care Act to a skeptical public. Congressional Republicans, meanwhile, refuse to abandon their quest to derail “Obamacare” and are flirting with a government shutdown to force the issue. Starting Jan. 1, virtually all Americans will be required to carry health insurance or face fines. At the same time, the health care law will prohibit insurance companies from turning away people in poor health, or charging them more.

Lehman High School principal Mike Barhorst announced today that Steve Hunsucker has resigned his position and responsibilities as the school’s athletic director. Barhorst said Ron Burgel, Lehman physical education and industrial arts teacher, will become the new AD. Hunsucker said he feels that it is not possible to adequately complete the necessary work in administration and coach two major sports at the same time.

A Hall of Fame runner Sidney native chosen by Dayton Distance Running committee
Ken Barhorst
kbarhorst@civitasmedia.com
Since she first started running back in the eighth grade, Sarah (Bemus) Glendenning has achieved remarkable success. She placed sixth in the State Cross Country Meet in 1979, and became the first female finisher in the very first Minster Oktoberfest 10K that same year, as a teenager. She went on to run two seasons for the Ohio State University women’s cross country team, then joined the Bob Schul racing team from 1986 to 1996, a period when she was considered one of the best female distance runners in Ohio. She also qualified for the Olympic Trials in the marathon during that period. Now she can add another accomplishment — she’s a Hall of Famer. Glendenning, a 1981 Sidney High School graduate who now resides in Vandalia, was recently notified that she has been named to the Dayton Distance Running Hall of Fame. The letter of notification she received said the honor was “because of your outstanding contributions to Dayton area distance running.” She will be inducted during a ceremony on Oct. 4 in the Franciscan Wellness Center at the St. Leonard Senior Living Community. “It’s a huge honor, and I’m very happy and touched,” Glendenning said this week. “It’s inspired me even more to continue with my running.” Yes, she is still running, saying she averages 45 to 50 miles a week, usually running before work, then with her team, the Alliance Racing Team, on the weekends. “In the last two years, I’ve started picking up on my racing, since my boys (ages 22 and 23) are out of school now and I have more time,” she said. “I run on a team and we do races on the weekends.”
She gives a lot of the credit for her running career to former longtime Sidney High School coach Bill Ross. “Bill was instrumental as my high school coach,” she said. “He was always such a motivator, and he inspired me. He always told me, if you work hard, it’s going to pay off. Bill was so important in my early years, and Bob Schul in my later years. He sort of fine-tuned me.” Just this year, she was the top female Master’s finisher in the Troy Strawberry Festival 10K. Last year, she was the first female finisher in the 45-49 age group at the Kentucky Derby Festival’s half-marathon, and in 2011, she won the Master’s division in the Dayton River Corridor race. After running cross country for two years at Ohio State, she decided to move up to marathon distance and found success immediately when she placed third among females in the Revco-Cleveland marathon in 1983. Marathon running has taken her all over the country, and even overseas. In 1987 she ran in the Tokyo International Marathon. She has no plans of slowing down anytime soon. “I just love to compete, and that’s the main thing that keeps me going,” she said. “I want to keep running as long as I can, and the beauty of racing is that you can compete in your age group. So you can always compete.” “I’ve always felt that qualifying for the Olympic Trials was one of my biggest accomplishments, but being named to the Hall of Fame is right up there with it. It came as a surprise, but Bob Schul gave me a heads up, told me he thought I was being nominated. “I never would have imagined when I started running that it would be something I’d be doing 40 years later.” Sidney native Sarah (Bemus) Glendenning runs in the Kentucky Derby Festival Her parents, Karl and Judy half-marathon last year. She will be inducted into the Dayton Distance Running Bemus, still reside in Sidney. Hall of Fame on Oct. 4.
Loramie, Versailles qualify for district Two Russia golfers also qualify, Borchers sets school record
VERSAILLES —Fort Loramie and Versailles qualified for the district golf tournament, and two Russia girls also made it out of the Division II Sectional Golf Tournament held at Stillwater Valley Golf Course in Versailles Wednesday. The top four teams advanced from the sectional to the district next Wednesday at Pipestone in Miamisburg, and those three were Tipp City, first with a 341; Versailles, runner-up at 356, and Fort Loramie, third with a 368. Brooke Wehrkamp of Versailles was the leader for the Lady Tigers, shooting a 79. Elizabeth White had an 84, Hannah Niekamp 96 and Emily Harman 97. Fort Loramie was led by freshman Emily Knouff with an 86, Ashley Ordean shot an 89, Hope Ruhenkamp 96 and Kristin Barhorst 97. Russia placed one spot out of a qualifying berth in fifth place with a 401, but two Lady Raiders were among the four low individuals not on qualifying teams. Taylor Borchers shot an 89 and that not only qualified her for the district tournament, it was also a new 18-hole school record. She will be joined by teammate Morgan Daugherty, who shot a 94. Kaila Pleiman had a 107 and Alicia George 111 for the Lady

Reds blanked 1-0 by Mets CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cincinnati Reds probably would have liked Daisuke Matsuzaka’s first career appearance against them to come at another time — such as next season. Matsuzaka scattered four hits in 7 2-3 innings to win his third consecutive start, outdueling Mat Latos in the New York Mets’ 1-0 victory on Wednesday that further dampened the Reds’ hopes of hosting the National League wild-card game on Tuesday. Eric Young Jr. drove in the only run for the Mets, who won two of three in the series. The Reds came into the game in third place in the Central Division and second in the wild-card standings, one game behind Pittsburgh. The Pirates and Reds end the regular season with a three-game series starting Friday in Cincinnati. “We have to find a way to get that big hit,” manager Dusty Baker said. “This team (Reds) seems to take the hard road most of the time. It is very important to have the home field advantage but it’s not impossible no matter where you play.” Matsuzaka (3-3) allowed two walks and hit a batter. He struck out six and evened his record after three losses and a no-decision in his first four starts since joining the Mets in

August. Manager Terry Collins said the former Boston Red Sox ace had definitely pitched his way into the Mets plans for next season. “We’ve got to bring a lot of guys in, because you never know what might
happen,” he said. “We’re looking for veteran guys coming into camp, and you can add his name to the list for sure.” Matsuzaka will welcome any opportunity, including the Mets.
It’s ‘worry-about-ourselves’ week Jackets take on 0-4 Belmont Friday at the stadium Ken Barhorst
kbarhorst@civitasmedia.com
There was a bit of good news after last week’s lopsided loss to Springboro — that was the last time the Sidney Yellow Jackets will see the Panthers on the schedule, at least for a while. Sidney saw its record evened at 2-2 with a 42-14 loss to the 3-1 Panthers. Springboro will be replaced on the schedule next year by Fairborn. Last week’s task for the Yellow Jackets was the complete opposite of what this week’s will be. Don’t be surprised to see a running clock in the second half if
things go the way they are expected. Sidney hosts Dayton Belmont, which has been overmatched in each of its four games so far, and will be again Friday night at 7 p.m. at Sidney Memorial Stadium. The Bison have been outscored 189-36 so far this season. They lost their first game of the season to tiny Division VII Ansonia by a 58-20 score, and Ansonia has not won since. Last week, Dayton Dunbar beat Belmont 59-6, and that’s with the third and fourth quarters being trimmed to eight minutes, and the clock running continuously.

Belmont came on the schedule last year as a fillin opponent for Northmont, which Sidney wanted off its schedule. “When we got Belmont on the schedule, they were coming off a 6-4 season, and last year they wound up 4-6,” said Sidney coach Adam Doenges. “But this is definitely a worry-aboutourselves week. The kids aren’t stupid — they know they should win this week. But we have to correct the bad habits we picked up last week when things weren’t going our way, and make sure we don’t start breaking out the bad habits this week if the game gets out of hand. So it’s a big concentration
week.” Doenges said the Jackets were simply overmatched by Springboro last week. “Sometimes you just play an oppnent that is better than you,” he said. “But I liked the way we came out in the second half, and I liked the way the kids fought. I thought we showed we were a better team than we were last year. “We have to shore up the things we’re supposed to be good at this week and keep improving,” he said. “In the back of the coaches’ minds, we have to get ready for that GWOC North schedule coming up.”
The Sidney High boys soccer team is selling Krispy Kreme donuts as a fundraiser. The team was required to purchase new home uniforms that comply with league requirements, so all proceeds are going toward that purchase. The pre-sale orders for the donuts are due by next Monday. The donuts will be $5 a dozen, pre-sale only. Orders can be placed by contacting any Sidney High boys soccer player, or by calling Sarah Steenrod at 492-4977. No orders can be taken after next Monday, Sept. 30. Donuts will be available for pickup at the front gate of Sidney Memorial Stadium on Oct. 4, beginning with the fourth quarter of the Sidney football game. If businesses are interested in placing multiple orders, delivery of the donuts can be arranged.
Cavs, Redskins heavy favorites Friday Rockets host 1-3 Delphos St. John’s in MAC action Lehman and Fort Loramie will both take on Northwest Central Conference opponents Friday in high school football action, and in both cases, will be heavily favored. The Cavaliers make the short trip to DeGraff to take on the Riverside Pirates, who are 2-2 on the season. The Pirates own wins over Bradford and Ridgemont, who are a combined 1-7, and have lost to Parkway and West Liberty-Salem by a combined 108-0. The Cavaliers opened NWCC play last week in the mud and rain at Sidney Memorial Stadium, and easily got past Lima Perry by a 33-0 score to up their record on the year to 3-1, with three straight wins since an opening-night loss to Anna. Cavalier quarterback Nick Rourke has already gone over 1,000 yards passing in Lehman’s new spread offense. He has completed 63 percent of his 118 throws for 1,050 yards and nine touchowns so far. Drew Westerheide continues to be his favorite target, having already hauled in 24 passes for 372 yards, tops in the area. Three other receivers are in double figures in catches, with Greg Spearman at 14, Clay Selsor 13 and Max Schutt 11. Riverside likes to run more than pass and has two ball-carrieres with decent yardage so far. Connor Cotterman has rushed for 329 yards and Tanner Lane for 285.

Redskins face W-G Fort Loramie, meanwhile, is coming off a huge win last week at home, 14-8 over Ada, which came in 3-0. The win provided a lot off computer points for the Redskins, who are again challenging for a playoff spot. This week, the Redskins might be able to name the score. They take on winless Waynesfield, which has been outscored so far 178-35. The Tigers have lost to Delphos Jefferson 48-3, Fort Recovery 54-0, Mechanicsburg 54-16 and Upper Scioto Valley last week in NWCC play 22-16. The Redskins survived last week despite starting quarterback Tyler Kazmaier being out with an injury. Andy Grewe got the call and will again this week. “He had a few turnovers, but I take the blame for that,” said Loramie coach Matt Burgbacher of Grewe. “Both times I’ve put him in, it’s been in terrible weather, so I’m excited to see what he can do when the weather is good, like it’s going to be this week.” Burgbacher knows his team is a big favorite, but he also remembers last year and hopes his players do too. “We want to get better, but in the back of our minds, we remember last year when these guys got us,” he said of the 28-20 loss at home, one of only two in the regular season for the Redskins.

bounce back again after failing to get much going offensively against the Versailles Tigers last week. Versailles led just 7-0 at the half, but went on to beat the Rockets 28-8 and even Anna’s record at 2-2. Christian Williams had another big game for the Rockets, 178 yards on 30 carries, but he found the endzone only once. On the season, however, he now has 814 yards rushing, an average of 203.5 per game. So if he just gets his average Friday night at home against 1-3 Delphos St. John’s, he will eclipse the 1,000yard mark at the halfway point of the regular season. “We moved the ball, but we’re just so inconsistent at times,” said Anna coach Bryan Rioch. “It’s important right now that we get better. I know I keep saying that every week, but we have to get better at what we do.” The Rockets host a Delphos team that is just 1-3, albeit against a pretty tough schedule. The losses have come to Elida, Lima Catholic and Coldwater. “Their schedule is really difficult but they are relatively inexperienced,” said Rioch. “They have a lot of new kids. Their quarterback is new and a good runner, but he struggles in the passing game a little. Everything will go through their tailback, Jettinghoff. He had 200 yards against us last year and it felt like 500. We’re going to make somebody else make plays for them.”

Hoyer to make second start for Browns BEREA, Ohio (AP) — As a boy, Brian Hoyer spent many chilly Sundays with his dad sitting in cavernous Cleveland Stadium rooting for their beloved Browns. For the youngster, there was no place better — even if their seats weren’t so great. “They were behind one of the posts,” Hoyer said with a smile, remembering the challenge of cheering on idols like Bernie Kosar and Ozzie Newsome. “It was kind of hard to see.” On Sunday, Hoyer’s family, countless friends and Cleveland fans will have an unobstructed view of the hometown kid, who was always the hero while wearing his No. 19 Kosar jersey in the backyard. Hoyer, who rallied the Browns to a shocking win last week at Minnesota, will make his second straight start at quarterback against the rival Cincinnati Bengals and in front of 73,000 fans. “It means a lot,” he said Wednesday. “It will be awesome.” With starter Brandon Weeden still sidelined with a sprained right thumb, Browns coach Rob Chudzinski will again turn to Hoyer, who threw three touchdown passes, including the game-winner with 51 sec-
onds left, as Cleveland beat the Vikings 31-27. In just his second NFL start, Hoyer overcame three interceptions, threw for 321 yards and rallied the Browns (1-2) to their first win to close a tumultuous week that included the trade of star running back Trent Richardson. Hoyer’s encore wasn’t guaranteed as Chudzinski said he would leave his options open. The decision became easier with Weeden still unable to throw since getting hurt two weeks ago against Baltimore. Chudzinski said Weeden is progressing and could resume throwing this week. Hoyer, who jumped from No. 3 on the depth chart, is starting for now. Chudzinski doesn’t have to make any long-term plans at quarterback and intends to keep things fluid. “We’ll just approach it from a week-to-week basis and see where everybody’s at and we’ll make the best decision for what I determine gives us the best chance to win,” he said. Hoyer earned a second shot with his performance in the ear-piercing Metrodome. The 27-yearold, who spent three seasons as Tom Brady’s backup in New England, displayed Brady-like

poise and confidence while leading the Browns to the comeback win. “He came in and played with great composure,” Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas said. “Obviously, this was his first live snaps with the No. 1s and he did a great job just seamlessly coming in and throwing the ball on time where it needed to go, saying the play in the huddle confidently, directing the offense. Those are the type of things that were impressive.” Hoyer was much more critical, and he was especially disappointed by the three picks.
“Bad decisions,” Hoyer said. Hoyer watched the game tape by himself and with his offensive teammates. He came away somewhat satisfied. “It was OK,” he said. “I was really disappointed in myself with those decisions that I made because those are kind of easy things. Usually, that’s not in my game to make bad decisions, so those are things that kind of stuck with me. But now you move on because in this league if you take too much time to dwell on last week, then you’re going to screw yourself up for next week.”
Hoyer benefited by wide receiver Josh Gordon’s return from a two-game suspension. Hoyer targeted Gordon 19 times and connected with him on 10 passes for 146 yards. That combo was perhaps the biggest reason Cleveland won, and Gordon said he and Hoyer are developing chemistry. “I’m very confident in him,” Gordon said. “He’s got a real fired-up mentality. He really wants to go out there and improve himself and work hard. He never seems to get rattled. After the interceptions, sacks, anything, just bad plays, he’d come out there the next drive and act like it never happened. And that’s exactly what we need.” Hoyer said he received a text message from Brady following the game, but would not reveal the contents. Brady always saw potential in Hoyer and isn’t surprised by his success. “We have a great relationship and a very close relationship,” Brady said. “Brian, we text back and forth. It’s great to see him and it’s hard work really pays off and guys that stay at it and are mentally tough, always trying to do the right thing.” Not long after he was named starter last week,
Hoyer heard from Kosar, the QB he once worshipped. “He sent me a message and a text,” Hoyer said. “That was pretty cool. You look down at your phone and it says, ‘Hey, this is Bernie Kosar.’ To me, when I used to wear the jersey in the backyard to now getting a message from him is pretty cool.” NOTES: LB Jabaal Sheard didn’t practice because of a sprained knee. If he’s out, rookie Barkevious Mingo will start. … K Billy Cundiff (quad) also sat out, and if he’s not ready, P Spencer Lanning may double as kicker. Lanning was named AFC special teams player of the week after punting, kicking an extra point after Cundiff got hurt and throwing a TD pass. … Gordon said Chudzinski reassured him the Browns have no plans to trade him. “The fact that he said there wasn’t, I guess it makes me feel a little more comfortable,” Gordon said. “At the same time, anything can happen.” … Thomas will play in his 100th career game Sunday. He has played in 6,054 consecutive snaps, the NFL’s longest active stretch.

Indians whip White Sox 7-2
CLEVELAND (AP) — Rookie Danny Salazar gave Cleveland a much-needed quality start and Nick Swisher hit a two-run homer as the Indians tightened their grip one of the AL wild-card spots with their 14th straight win over the Chicago White Sox, 7-2 on Wednesday night in their home finale. Salazar (2-3) struck out eight in 5 1-3 innings for the Indians, who won their final six home games to stay with the wild-card leaders. They entered the night with a onegame lead over Texas in the wild-card chase. Cleveland is also one game behind Tampa Bay for the top spot with just four games left. Swisher homered in the fifth inning off Dylan Axlerod (4-11) as the Indians finished the season 16-2 against Chicago. Cleveland hasn’t made the playoffs since 2007, but the Indians are closing in on a berth under first-year manager Terry Francona, who guided Boston to two World Series titles. A spray-painted bedsheet in the upper deck of Progressive Field said: “Playoff Bound.” The Indians, who already have 20 more wins than last season, have some work to do before that can happen. They haven’t won it all since 1948, but if they can win their next four games in Minnesota, the Indians will give themselves a chance to end the drought. Asivail Garcia homered for the White Sox, 6-19 since Aug. 30. Swisher’s two-run shot in the fifth gave the Indians a 4-1 lead and allowed 30,942 fans to breathe a little easier following the emotional rollercoaster of Tuesday night, when Jason Giambi’s pinch-hit, two-run homer in the ninth saved closer Chris Perez, who gave up two homers in the top of the inning. With the Indians leading 2-1 in the fifth, Brantley, who has been using one of Carlos Santana’s bats, doubled with one out and Swisher followed with a shot into the Indians’ bullpen in center. After rounding the bases, Swisher saluted the crowd by raising his hands and forming an “O” and “H”. The Indians packed for a four-game series against the Twins not knowing if they’ll play again this season after Sunday. They could be coming back to Cleveland for the winter, playing a one-game playoff just to get to into the wild-card game or maybe headed to either Tampa Bay or Texas for one game with the winner advancing to the division series.

Chasing Kenseth Matt Kenseth earns seventh win of 2013 in 500th career Cup start By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor
It should come as no surprise that a driver who has spent a career flying under the radar in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is at his best while the sport churns in a chaotic whirlwind of controversy. Welcome to winning, Matt Kenseth-style. As fallout from a Richmond rumpus continues to rain down on the sport, Kenseth just keeps on winning — while staying well above the fray. The first-year Joe Gibbs Racing driver won Chase race No. 2 on Sunday in the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, his second straight victory in as many playoff events. He did so in his milestone 500th Cup start — a feat the 41-year-old summed up in his classic deadpan manner, saying, “All this really means is that I’m old.” If experience equates to success, then the 13-driver Chase field should be on high alert. Further, Kenseth’s wildly successful maiden voyage in JGR’s Toyotas — the victory in Loudon was his career-best seventh of the season — should have the competition downright nervous. After all, he already holds a full-race worth of a points lead over one-third of the competition. Not that Kenseth is preoccupied with such stats. “My outlook or approach is really not any different, honestly,” Kenseth said of his hot start to the 10-race playoff. “I know it’s kind of cliché, but it really is one week at a time, especially right now. If you get down toward the end (of the Chase) and you’re lucky enough to have a lead or something, maybe you start looking at that more.” His tempered approach is predicated on a points format that awards consistency; where poor finishes are more damaging than sterling finishes rewarded. “Two whole months of racing is a lot of racing, and in this system one bad finish and you’re behind,” said Kenseth. When examining the upcoming slate of races, though, poor finishes aren’t the first thing that come to mind for Kenseth. He has two wins at Dover, the next stop on tour; he’s won the last two visits to Kansas; was a 2011 winner at Charlotte and is the defending race-winner at Talladega. “Again, anything can happen

The repercussions of race manipulation at Richmond International Raceway on Sept. 7, by Michael Waltrip Racing — as well as halfhearted acknowledgement by the sanctioning body that something was afoot with Penske and Front Row Racing — continue to rock the sport. On Sept. 19, longtime MWR partner NAPA Auto Parts posted via Facebook its intention to leave the organization at season’s end. The departure leaves a sponsorship void on the No. 56 Toyota driven by Martin Truex Jr. — and Truex’s future with the company up in the air. It also raises questions as to whether NAPA — one of only a few companies that provide full funding to a race team — will continue its participation in the sport.

Probably the most physically demanding race on the schedule for both the car and the driver. The loads that the car and driver endure when they drop into the corners there are as intense as anywhere we go on. Fortunately, the track is concrete, so the car will stay more consistent throughout the day, but it’s just a tough track on equipment. The biggest challenge is the tire we have now — it lays the rubber on top of the track so the driver has to kind of work around that as the day progresses.” NATIONWIDE SERIES

anywhere,” said Kenseth, downplaying the advantageous schedule. “You can be at your best track and have whatever happen and get a bad finish. But certainly (I) have a lot of confidence in the next three tracks coming up.” The first speedbump — Talladega’s crapshoot aside — comes fives weeks down the road, when the sport hits the half-mile Martinsville Speedway. It’s a venue where Kenseth has yet to record a win and has only three top-5 showings in 27 starts. Even then, he doesn’t seem overly concerned, saying, “I’m actually pretty confident going to Martinsville.” And why not? Four of Kenseth’s 2013 wins have come at racetracks — Chicagoland, Darlington, Kentucky and now New Hampshire — where he’d failed to post a win previously. So what’s different this season than in years past? “I think a lot of this sport is about combinations,” Kenseth explained. “When you think of Jimmie (Johnson) and Chad (Knaus), Ray Evernham and Jeff Gordon, there wasn’t anybody that could beat them. It has to start with the organization that has the fast cars and have all that stuff — but you’ve got to have the right group (of people), and I’m really fortunate right now to have the right group.”
Included in that “group” — though relatively distanced — has been Kenseth’s chief Chase challenger, teammate Kyle Busch, who finished second the last two weeks to the No. 20 car. And that’s kept Kenseth honest. “Matt is just executing at the end of the (race), which is what you’re supposed to do,” Busch said. “I won eight of the first 26 (in 2008) and then fell flat on my face (in the Chase). Matt is doing a really good job — he’s put it all together.” So while the questionable events that transpired in Richmond’s transfer race continue to demand a white-hot spotlight within the sport, the pre-Chase favorites of Kenseth, Busch and the sleeping giant of Johnson methodically rack up top-flight finishes. That fact isn’t lost on the current points-leader: “When you look at what the 48 (Johnson) can do and the 18 (Busch) — and they’re going to be good everywhere — you’d better be good everywhere if you’re thinking that you’re going to be a contender.” There are still eight long weeks remaining in NASCAR’s 2013 championship chase, but as is typically the case, those contenders have already put the field on notice.
Sponsors put NASCAR, teams on high-alert By MATT TALIAFERRO

During the race weekend in Loudon, N.H., Scott Henderson, president of 5-Hour Energy, made some diacritic comments concerning his company’s involvement in the sport, though they seemed directed more at NASCAR and its leadership than MWR and the No. 15 team, which it currently sponsors. When asked about NASCAR CEO Brian France’s decision to expand the Chase for the Championship field to 13 drivers, Henderson said, “There’s a lot of talk about integrity. When the guy who’s in charge can say, ‘I can do whatever I want and I’m going to do it and I just did,’ I wonder about integrity. I want to make sure we can win in this sport, OK?” In a press release, 5-Hour Energy stated that it “is still evaluating its ongoing participation in NASCAR. A decision is not expected until the
2013 racing season is over.” Rumors continue to swirl as to whether Truex or Clint Bowyer, driver of the No. 15, will return to MWR next season. For his part, team co-owner Michael Waltrip reiterated that his organization had “no master plan” to manipulate the race’s outcome and that the company would again field three cars in 2014. He did, however, say Truex would not be held back if the driver found another ride. Aaron’s, which sponsors the No. 55 MWR Toyota and Brian Vickers, has stated its intent to return. Each MWR team was penalized 50 points and fined following the Richmond race. The penalty knocked Truex out of the Chase. Five days later in an unprecedented step, France expanded the Chase field to 13 drivers, admitting Jeff Gordon.
Classic Moments Dover International Speedway Virginia native Junie Donlavey fielded entries for over 50 years in NASCAR’s top division — from Joe Weatherly and LeeRoy Yarbrough to Ricky Rudd and Ken Schrader and a host of drivers in between — but his Dover mount in May 1981 might have been his most memorable. Jody Ridley drove Donlavey’s No. 90 Ford to victory in the Mason-Dixon 500 that day, scoring both men’s lone Cup victory. Neil Bonnett, Cale Yarborough and David Pearson all took turns at the front, but each dropped an engine while leading. Ridley finally emerged with the lead — although Bobby Allison’s car owner, Harry Ranier, claimed that NASCAR’s timing and scoring had incorrectly placed Ridley ahead of his No. 28 Buick — and led the final 20 laps to score an unlikely win over Allison, Dale Earnhardt, D.K. Ulrich and Rudd.
Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: They don’t come any hotter than Matt Kenseth, and he’s claimed 10 top 5s (two wins) in his last 15 visits to the “Monster Mile.” Pretty Solid Pick: And then there’s Jimmie Johnson and his seven Dover wins, which tie him with Bobby Allison and Richard Petty for most all-time. Good Sleeper Pick: Rookie Ricky Stenhouse Jr. owns 12th- and 13th-place showings in two Cup starts at Dover. Runs on Seven Cylinders: Kasey Kahne’s 21.5-place average finish at Dover (six DNFs) do not bode well for the driver that sits 13th in the Chase standings. Insider Tip: Track position and qualifying are important in Dover’s tight confines, because when accidents happen they typically sweep up numerous cars.

Village Administrator Nancy Benroth told council members that she is working on some safety-related issues in the village, including placing first-aid kits in all of the village buildings. She has also ordered first-aid kits for the village’s trucks. Benroth said she is working on getting quotes to have the handicap ramp replaced at the Village Hall. She said it will cost approximately $2,000 to replace the ramp. Benroth reported that she has ordered more school street signs. The signs are made available through the Ohio Department of Transportation and the Safe Routes to School program at no charge. The village will need to provide posts and installation. Council members were told that
Benroth is waiting on quotes to change the filter media at the water plant. That may be finished this fall. It will cost approximately $20,000. Benroth told council members that the chin-up bars have been installed again at the Anna Community Park behind the west baseball diamond. She said she is working on a Honda grant in order to obtain some additional exercise equipment for the park. Council member Kathie Eshleman said Anna Fire Chief Tim Bender have requested that surveillance cameras be purchased for the Village Hall, Anna Police Department and the Anna Fire Department. Eshleman said the Safety Committee has been reviewing problems found during an inspection of the Anna Police Department by Jackson Center Police Chief Joe Cotterman and Botkins Police Chief Tom Glass. It was noted that Anna interim Police Chief Lynn Marsee is help-
ing with some of the issues. Bender presented a proposal to purchase the surveillance cameras. The cost for the Anna Fire Department cameras will be $18,729 and the cost for the Village Hall will be $15,417. Council approved the purchase. Bender presented a proposal for a rescue truck upgrade. The upgrade would be covered by part of the federal grant awarded to the Anna Fire Department. The cost of the upgrade will be $22,276. Council approved the proposal. Council approved ordering a copy of the transcript of the Aug. 27 hearing involving Police Chief Scott Evans. Fiscal Officer Linda Pleiman gave council members copies of a liquor license transfer from Kormanik’s to Roe Assets. Pleiman wanted approval from council members to mail the transfer since no hearing was being requested. Council approved the request.
Marsee told council members that a new light bar was installed on one of the cruisers and there were also new brakes and rotors installed and the cruiser is now back in service. Bender told council members that the Anna Fire Department responded to a silo fire on Aug. 31 and things went OK. Council members heard a report on the Planning Commission meeting. Among the issues addressed were: • Subway in Anna has paved its parking lot and driveway. • Exit 99 has a new storm sewer and the village provided the pipe and stone. • Benroth has received all but three letters regarding securing swimming pool ladders. Mike Dodds from the West Ohio Development Council gave a presentation on the objectives and background of the council and spoke about the Shelby County Workforce Partnership, which is
a program that will allow for education and training programs to work together with Shelby County employers. Council also approved: • The third reading of an ordinance amending the Human Resource Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual to include a section on safety programs and policies. • The second reading of a resolution accepting the amounts and rates as determined by the Budget Commission and authorizing the necessary tax levies and certifying them to the county auditor. • The second reading of a resolution authorizing Benroth to prepare and submit an application to participate in the Ohio Public Works Commission State Capital Improvement and/or Local Transportation Improvement Programs and to execute contracts as required.

It’s not unusual for teens to be depressed
DR. WALLACE: I’m 17 and have bouts of depression. I don’t understand why this happens because I’ve got a great boyfriend, and even though my parents are a bit strict, we get along all right. I’m a good student, but I do get upset if I don’t get an A
