City Record

City leaf pickups begins October 14

Police log

The city of Sidney’s 2013 leaf pickup program will begin Oct. 14.

City crews will be picking up leaves following the solid waste sanitation routes. However, it is anticipated that it will take possibly one month to complete the first round of the city leaf pickup, city officials said. After city crews have completed the first round, additional pickup rounds will be made.

Residents are reminded not to place leaves over storm sewer basins. No yard waste will be picked up with the leaves. All yard waste needs to be prepared and disposed of as usual. There will be no alley leaf pickup; street-side pick up only will be made.

For further information or to check where the pickup crews are, contact the Sidney Service Center at 498-8117.

we could determine what we had.”

Glass said area law enforcement, along with Botkins staff, searched the building for explosives. Assisting were the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, Anna Police, Jackson Center Police and Botkins Fire, Glass said.

Glass said law enforcement officials are “still looking into this, the background of the student, to see if we can figure anything out” about his actions. He said it is unclear if the student has behavioral issues. Glass is unsure if it was a copycat issue tied to the Anna Local Schools bomb threat that occurred earlier this week. He said is not sure “what connection this kid had” to any media to have heard about the Anna threat.

He said if this is a copycat issue, “I guess we’ll find out if we get another one (threat).”

Glass, who said he is surprised by the student’s age, said he “talked to several parents and other people and they’re having the same issue, why are these kids doing this?

The school and ourselves (law enforcement) take this (threats) very seriously since 9/11.”

Glass said he wants students to think before they act. Glass said Botkins Local Schools were “very helpful” and noted “their goal was the same as ours, safety of the students and staff.”

Glass thanked all of the law enforcement agencies involved and thanked the schools for their cooperation. For the next few days, he said, Botkins Police will “put some extra patrols at the schools … to assure the people we are there.”

“We (Sheriff’s Office) were very impressed by the way (the) Superintendent Connie Schneider handled the situation, always keeping in mind the safety of the children without causing any other undue stress,” said Frye.

The investigation into the incident is continuing.

Botkins Local Schools Superintendent Connie Schneider could not be reached for comment prior to press time.

Jailed mom can’t go to funeral

TOLEDO (AP) — An Ohio woman charged with obstruction won’t be allowed to leave jail for the funeral of her toddler, who was missing for months before her remains were found in a garage.

Program seeks to soothe children in trauma The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office and the Sidney Moose Lodge No. 568 have partnered in a program to aid children when they are most in need.

The Tommy Moose program helps children overcome fears and anxiety during times of stress. The Loyal Order of the Moose has donated thousands of Tommy the Moose toys to law enforcement, fire and other emergency workers. The Tommy dolls are given to children encountered in stressful or traumatic situations, calming them and given them a soothing object toward which they can refocus their attention, while emergency aid takes place.

The Tommy Moose program is easily one of the most successful community service outreach programs in the history of the Loyal Order of Moose, according to Sheriff John Lenhart. Its success lies in its simple message and uncomplicated structure. Moose Lodges and Chapters have purchased more than 100,000 Tommy Moose plush dolls and presented them to police, fire and other emergency workers to be carried in their vehicles.

Lenhart would like to thank the Sidney Moose Lodge for the contribution and recognizes the difference this will make in a child’s life when they are going

Bus driver told patrol he passed out before crash Lisa Cornwell Associated Press

CINCINNATI (AP) — The driver of a Greyhound bus that ran off an interstate and flipped onto its side told investigators he didn’t remember anything from the last mile before the crash that injured at least 35 people, an investigative report released Thursday shows.

The State Highway Patrol says 64-year-old Dwayne Garrett told police at the scene of the Sept. 14 accident in southwest Ohio that he had been drinking coffee, started coughing, then lost consciousness.

“This statement is consistent with several passenger accounts stating they saw the driver slumped over the wheel,” the patrol report says.

“The driver stated he doesn’t remember anything for approx-

imately one mile before the bus ran off the road. When he regained consciousness, the bus was on its side.”

Garrett was cited for operating a vehicle without reasonable control, a misdemeanor. He declined to comment Thursday.

“Greyhound stands behind its driver, who has a 15-year clean-driving record with the company,” Alexandra Pedrini, a spokeswoman for the Dallasbased company, said Thursday.

She said the company is continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the accident and declined to comment further.

Highway Patrol spokeswoman Lt. Anne Ralston said lab tests and other information still being investigated will be added to the report when available.

The bus was carrying 51

Panel: Weigh mental illness in Ohio capital cases Andrew Welsh-Huggins Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — Lawmakers should debate taking the death penalty off the table for killers with serious mental illness even before they’re charged, under a recommendation approved Thursday by a committee examining capital punishment in the state.

Mental illness has long been a factor in deciding whether someone should be executed in Ohio, but the new proposal deals with eliminating it as an option upfront.

The proposal, approved 15-2 by the Ohio Supreme Court task force, recommends that lawmakers take up the question once the committee issues its final report early next year.

Cleveland appeals court Judge Kathleen Keough called it “an issue of common decency.”

“A person suffering from serious mental illness should not be subject to the death penalty,” Keough said.

The concept is a long way from becoming law.

The recommendation first would need legislation, and that would be followed by a long debate in the General Assembly over the definition of serious mental illness.

Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen

O’Connor convened the committee last year to look at ways to improve the state’s 32-year-old death penalty law while making it clear that proposals to eliminate the law were off-limits.

One of the cases the committee studied was that of death row inmate Edward Lang, sentenced to die for killing two men in a robbery in 2006.

Lang received the death penalty despite a long history of mental health issues, including frequent stays in psychiatric facilities as a child and treatment with anti-psychotic medicine.

In a 2011 decision, former state Supreme Court Justice Evelyn Lundberg Stratton reluctantly upheld Lang’s death sentence while holding him up as a reason lawmakers should debate the issue of mental illness and capital punishment. Stratton made the same argument to the capital punishment task force earlier this year.

Cleveland defense attorney John Parker, chairman of the subcommittee that made the mental illness recommendation, said members of his committee felt it was time to put the issue before lawmakers.

Many members of the task force, which includes defense attorneys, prosecutors, judges and law-

LIMA — The Ohio Attorney General’s Office filed a lawsuit and was granted a temporary restraining order Wednesday against a Youngstown company that allegedly was using deceptive tactics to solicit donations for police and firemen from people in Allen County.

A hearing is scheduled for Oct. 2 in the matter in Allen County Common Pleas Court.

Judge Jeffrey Reed granted a request by the Ohio Attorney General’s Office for a temporary restraining order against Encore Music Productions of Youngstown and its agents for deceiving donors

as Megan Binkowski, 23, of Lexington, Ky., said she also was asleep and woke up to the bus jolting. “Then we rolled over and when we stopped, people were on top of me and trying to get out,” she said.

The driver’s speed was estimated at 68 mph in the 65 mph zone, according to the report.

The report said many passengers gave false identifying information to first responders.

In some cases, names didn’t match because tickets had been purchased by other people.

The report also said owners of the cornfield where the bus crashed and overturned after hitting the tree estimated damage at $300. A damaged fence is owned by the state. ___ Amanda Lee Myers in Cincinnati contributed to this report.

while soliciting for firefighter and police charities, officials from the Attorney General’s Office said.

“The telemarketers used misleading tactics to solicit donations from Ohio families under the pretense of supporting police and firefighters,” Attorney General Mike DeWine said in a written statement.

Some even pretended to be firefighters during the solicitations, DeWine said.

The 42-count action alleges violations of Ohio’s Corrupt Activities Act and the Ohio Charitable Organizations Act, including money laundering, mail and wire fraud, theft, and deceptive acts and practices.

The action names 18 defendants,

none of whom are from Allen County.

The Attorney General’s Office is seeking an order to shut down the enterprise and redistribute its assets to legitimate charities.

Dishonest solicitation techniques are illegal and take advantage of people, said Dan Tierney, a spokesman for DeWine’s office.

Since 2006, Encore has solicited for more than 30 organizations in Ohio and four in Pennsylvania by selling tickets and business advertisements for concerts. There are other victims throughout the state other than Allen County but attorneys handling the case made a strategic choice to file the lawsuit in Allen County, Tierney said.

Ohio landlady fined $11,000 for discrimination COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s civil rights commission has ordered a northeast Ohio landlady accused of housing discrimination against undercover testers to pay more than $11,000 in actual damages and attorneys’ fees.

In its decision Thursday, the Ohio Civil Rights Commission declined to award punitive damages against Helen Grybosky (grihBOW’-skee) of Conneaut (KAW’-nee-awt) that also had been sought.

Grybosky was accused

in a 2009 complaint of telling testers with disability dogs that pets weren’t allowed or required an extra deposit. A second complaint claims the woman told a tester with a child that she could only rent a downstairs unit at a higher cost.

An administrative judge previously upheld the allegations first investigated by Painesville, Ohio-based Fair Housing Resource Center.

Grybosky argued no discrimination occurred because no actual renters were involved.

Ohio panel lays out possible jobs board conflicts COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s ethics agency has warned six of nine directors of Ohio’s fledgling privatized job-creation board that their business interests raise potential conflicts of interest.

The Ohio Ethics Commission identified the six JobsOhio board

members, including Chairman James Boland, along with three employees after a routine review of their confidential financial disclosure filings.

A JobsOhio spokeswoman said none of the potential conflicts amounted to anything. She said

the board has not played a role in any dealings the flagged companies may have done with the state.

Paul Nick, the commission’s executive director, said conflict-ofinterest findings released Thursday by the commission do not imply wrongdoing.

Wooden steamboat backers praise House vote CINCINNATI (AP) — Supporters hoping the historic Delta Queen steamboat will travel down rivers again say the U.S. House’s approval of a related bill is a step forward in a long effort.

The measure that passed Wednesday and a Senate version would temporarily exempt the National Historic Landmark from a ban on certain wooden boats making overnight trips with 50-plus passengers.

Both measures would need more approval.

The Delta Queen once plied the Mississippi and Ohio rivers but has been docked in recent years as a floating hotel in Chattanooga, Tenn.

“The Delta Queen is a national treasure,” Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Cincinnati, wrote on his blog Wednesday.

“Let’s stay positive! The Delta Queen shall sail again!”

Opponents say the wooden structure is a fire trap.

boats that were not safe, in boats that were made of wood,” said Rep. John Garamendi, D-Calif.

“Simply put, this is a bad piece of legislation.”

The boat has been moored since 2009.

Supporters say safety improvements would be made, and Chabot pointed out that the Coast Guard would have to certify the Delta Queen was safe before it moves again.

“Safety is paramount,” he said.

Meanwhile, the boat is for sale. A New Orleans investor whose group hopes to buy the steamboat tells The Cincinnati Enquirer (http://cin. ci/18XN9VQ ) that Cincinnati tops his list of possible new homes for it. A Cincinnati businessman bought the Delta Queen in 1946, and it was locally owned until 1985.

“It’s been part of the Mississippi River history

since the mid-’40s, and gives folks an opportunity to kind of step back in time and see America the way many of our ancestors saw her, from the river,” said Cornel Martin of New Orleans, calling the steamboat a unique way to see America.

He said investors are also looking at Louisville and other cities.

“Clearly, Cincinnati is at the top of the list,” Martin said. “She was there for 40 years, and I know they’d like to get her back.”

Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Cleveland, has backing from Republican Sen. Rob Portman of the Cincinnati area and other bipartisan support for the Senate version.

“We need to return the Delta Queen to its rightful home in Cincinnati,” Brown said. ___

One passenger, identified as 62-year-old Ruthie Allen of West Bloomfield, Mich., said she noticed the bus veering to the right on the highway.

“I thought the driver was just changing lanes (but) the bus continued to move to the right, driving over the rumble strips, and kept going off the right side of the road,” she said. “He did not brake at all.

Before we went completely off of the interstate, I started yelling at the driver, but he did not respond to me.”

Anthony Poe, 30, of Highland Park, Mich., said he had just fallen asleep when the bus went off the road.

“I was airborne for the duration of the crash. I have no clue how I made it,” Poe said.

Government on brink of a shutdown?

Today in History The Associated Press

Today is Friday, Sept. 27, the 270th day of 2013. There are 95 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 27, 1991, President George H.W. Bush announced in a nationally broadcast address that he was eliminating all U.S. battlefield nuclear weapons and called on the Soviet Union to match the gesture.

On this date: In 1540, Pope Paul III issued a papal bull establishing the Society of Jesus, or Jesuits, as a religious order.

In 1779, John Adams was named by Congress to negotiate the Revolutionary War’s peace terms with Britain.

In 1854, the first great disaster involving an Atlantic Ocean passenger vessel occurred when the steamship SS Arctic sank off Newfoundland; of the more than 400 people on board, only 86 survived.

In 1928, the United States said it was recognizing the Nationalist Chinese government.

In 1939, Warsaw, Poland, surrendered after weeks of resistance to invading forces from Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during World War II. In 1941, on “Liberty Fleet Day,” the United States launched 14 rapidly built military cargo vessels, including the first Liberty ship, the SS Patrick Henry, which was personally launched by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in Baltimore.

In 1942, Glenn Miller and his orchestra performed together for the last time, at the Central Theater in Passaic, N.J., prior to Miller’s entry into the Army.

In 1954, “Tonight!” hosted

by Steve Allen made its network debut on NBC-TV. In 1964, the government publicly released the report of the Warren Commission, which found that Lee Harvey Oswald had acted alone in assassinating President John F. Kennedy.

In 1988, three days after placing first in the men’s 100meter dash at the Seoul (sohl) Summer Olympics, Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson left for home in disgrace, stripped of his gold medal by officials who said Johnson had used anabolic steroids.

In 1991, the Senate Judiciary Committee deadlocked, 7-7, on the nomination of Clarence Thomas to the U.S. Supreme Court.

In 1994, more than 350 Republican congressional candidates gathered on the steps of the U.S. Capitol to sign the “Contract with America,” a 10-point platform they pledged to enact if voters sent a GOP majority to the House.

In 2001, President George W. Bush asked the nation’s governors to post National Guard troops at airports as a first step toward federal control of airline security.

Ten years ago: President George W. Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin urged Iran and North Korea to abandon suspected nuclear-weapons programs but disagreed over how to deal with both countries; Putin also declined at the end of a twoday summit at Camp David to pledge any postwar help for Iraq. Entertainer Donald O’Connor died in Calabasas, Calif., at age 78.

Out of the Blue

Bear obeys bartender’s command JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — If only all unwelcome bar guests were this obliging.

A black bear walked into the bar at the Alaskan Hotel in downtown Juneau on Monday night.

Bartender Ariel SvetlikMcCarthy says she freaked out and yelled, “No bear!

Get out! No! You can’t be in here!”

The bear complied, leaving the bar within seconds.

State biologist Ryan Scott says it’s rare for black bears to go inside Juneau businesses, but they have wandered inside homes before.

He tells KTOO the staff did a great job, and it was good news the bear left.

State wildlife officials have killed two nuisance bears in Juneau this summer.

In this Sept. 20 photo, Fredonia High School football players, left, along with coaches, officials and fans, observe a moment of silence for Damon Janes before a football game in Fredonia, N.Y. The Westfield Board of Education on Monday approved canceling the Westfield-Brocton team’s remaining games because of the death earlier this month of 16-year-old Damon James.

N.Y. school team calls it quits after football death Carolyn Thompson Associated Press

BROCTON, N.Y. (AP) — It was a question with no right answer that tugged heavy at the hearts of Damon Janes’ teammates when the 16-year-old died after a hit in a high school football game: Should the season go on?

Should the players rally and play every game for their star running back, whose motto was “Giving up is simply not an option”? Or should the teenagers forget about football and take time to mourn their friend?

The Westfield-Brocton Wolverines’ varsity players took a paper-ballot vote and decided that the pain was too great, that their season would end after just two games.

“I wanted to play, I love the game,” said teammate Stevie Wisecarver III, a 16-year-old quarterback who has played football since third grade. “But it just wouldn’t feel right without him. The team just didn’t feel right.”

Added 17-year-old senior cornerback Joey Villafrank: “It feels like there’s more to life. Before, football used to be life for me; it was the only sport I played. But now I realize that there’s more than just playing the game.”

It’s a grief that’s spread through the close-knit villages of Brocton and Westfield, tucked amid grape farms about an hour’s drive south of Buffalo, where the once-rival high schools were forced to combine their teams three seasons ago because of budget cuts.

Townspeople have held vigils, lighted candles and released balloons. They’ve stayed up nights making ribbons and cookies as fundraisers for the Janes family. The Green Arch Restaurant is contributing apple pies.

Hair salons are dyeing streaks of blue and green, reflecting Westfield’s school colors of blue and white and Brocton’s of green. Memorial T-shirts with Damon’s motto are being printed. And a spaghetti dinner benefit at the Nickel Plate Depot planned for Sunday is expected to draw hundreds.

“It’s just a tragic thing that happened,” 71-year-old Harold Montague said as he finished his coffee at the Green Arch, recalling a procession for Damon’s funeral that stretched for more than a mile and a half. “A lot’s been done that I’ve never seen before.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Moving closer to the brink of a government shutdown, House Republicans vowed Thursday they won’t simply accept the stopgap legislation that is likely to remain after Senate Democrats strip away a plan to dismantle President Barack Obama’s health care law.

A sense of confusion settled over the House, both over how to avoid a shutdown and how to handle even more important legislation to increase the government’s borrowing ability to avert a default on U.S. obligations.

Short of votes, House leaders shelved a vote that had been expected this weekend on the debt limit measure and gave frustrated GOP lawmakers few clues about what they plan to do to avoid a shutdown.

The chaos sets the stage for weekend drama on Capitol Hill, with the Senate planning to send the fractious House a straightforward bill Friday to keep the government operating through Nov. 15 rather than partly closing down at midnight Monday.

Speaker John Boehner of Ohio and several rank-and-file Republicans said the House simply won’t accept a “clean” spending measure, even though that’s been the norm in Congress on dozens of occasions since the 199596 government closures that bruised Republicans and strengthened the hand of Democratic President Bill Clinton.

“I don’t see that happening,” Boehner said. Still, he declared that “I have no interest in a government shutdown” and he doesn’t expect one to occur on Tuesday.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said the Democratic-led chamber will not relent.

“The Senate will never pass a bill that guts the Affordable Care Act,” Reid declared.

A partial government shutdown would keep hundreds of thousands of federal workers off the job, close national parks and generate damaging headlines for whichever side the public held responsible.

Washington faces two deadlines: The Oct. 1 start of the new budget year and a mid-October date — now estimated for the 17th — when the government can no longer borrow money to pay its bills on time and in full.

Nearly $5M spent on drones Pete Yost

Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI has been using drones to support its law enforcement operations since 2006 and has spent more than $3 million on the unmanned aircraft, the Justice Department’s internal watchdog said Thursday.

The disclosure came in a new report by the Justice Department’s inspector general, Michael Horowitz, who revealed that the department also has awarded $1.26 million to at least seven local police departments and nonprofit organization for drones.

In addition, the IG said another Justice Department component, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives,

plans to use drones to support future operations. To date, the ATF has spent almost $600,000, the IG report stated.

From 2004 to May 2013, the Justice Department spent almost $5 million on the unmanned aircraft.

In June, then-FBI Director Robert Mueller told Congress that the FBI occasionally uses the unmanned aerial vehicles but was developing guidelines in anticipation of issues that will arise “as they become more omnipresent.” In one instance earlier this year, the FBI used drones at night during a sixday hostage standoff in Alabama.

In a letter in July to Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., the FBI revealed it had used drones 10 times since 2006 for surveillance in kidnappings, search and rescue missions, and drug and

fugitive investigations. Among them was last winter’s standoff between authorities and Jimmy Lee Dykes, who was shot to death after holding a 5-year-old boy hostage in an underground bunker in Alabama, the letter said.

The IG’s report cited the Alabama case, but no others, saying only that a review of available records showed that the FBI appeared to be operating drones only after obtaining required approvals from the Federal Aviation Administration.

Civil liberties groups critical of domestic drone use say such operations could invade people’s privacy. The government worries drones could collide with passenger planes or crash, concerns that have slowed more widespread adoption of the technology.

Kenya attack victims’ relatives voice frustration Jacob Kushner and Tom Odula Associated Press

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — After almost a week, there is no precise death toll, no word on the fate of dozens still missing and no details on the al-Qaida-linked terrorists who attacked Nairobi’s most upscale mall.

As al-Shabab militants struck two Kenyan border towns and threatened more violence, relatives of the mall victims wept outside the city morgue Thursday, frustrated by the lack of information and a holdup in the release of bodies of the victims.

Roy Sam, whose brother, 33-year-old Thomas Ogala, was

killed, said he had been going to the morgue since Monday, but workers there had not prepared his brother’s body, which was mangled by a close-range gunshot wound to the head — an apparent execution.

“They said they were going to prepare the body to make it look nice, but we came back the next day and the next, and it wasn’t any different,” Sam said.

The morgue superintendent, Sammy Nyongesa Jacob, said workers were told not to touch the bodies until post-mortuary studies had been completed.

Kenya’s chief pathologist, Johansen Oduor, said his team was removing bullets and shrap-

nel from victims to find out exactly how they were killed, then handing them over to police as evidence.

“A lot of them died from bullet wounds — the body, the head, all over,” he said. “Some also died from grenades, shrapnel.”

He refused to reveal how many bodies were in the morgue but said he was told to expect more — though he would not say how many.

It was the largest terrorist attack in Kenya since the 1998 bombing of the U.S. Embassy, and FBI agents were dispatched to do fingerprint, DNA and ballistic analysis on the bodies. They were joined by investigators from

Britain, Germany and Canada.

There have been no details on what the international team has found so far in the bulletscarred, scorched mall, work that is expected to take at least a week, said Kenyan police spokeswoman Gatiria Mboroki.

The Kenyan Red Cross said Thursday that 61 people remain missing and many worry they may be buried under the rubble — though the government has insisted few victims are believed to still be inside.

The government says at least 67 people were killed in the assault by 12 to 15 al-Shabab militants on the Westgate Mall, including 61 civilians and six security forces.

Farmers face labor shortages in the fields Gosia Wozniacka Associated Press

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — With the harvest in full swing on the West Coast, farmers in California and other states say they can’t find enough people to pick high value crops such as grapes, peppers, apples and pears.

In some cases, workers have walked off fields

in the middle of harvest, lured by offers of better pay or easier work elsewhere.

The shortage and competition for workers means labor expenses have climbed, harvests are getting delayed and less fruit and vegetable products are being picked, prompting some growers to say their income is suffering. Experts say, how-

ever, the shortage is not expected to affect prices for consumers.

But farmworkers, whose incomes are some of the lowest in the nation, have benefited, their wages jumping in California to $2 to $3 over the $8 hourly minimum wage and even more for those working piece rate.

The shortage — driven by a struggling U.S. econ-

omy, more jobs in Mexico, and bigger hurdles to illegal border crossings — has led some farmers to offer unusual incentives: they’re buying meals for their workers, paying for transportation to and from fields, even giving bonuses to those who stay for the whole season.

And a few have stationed foremen near their crews to prevent other

farmers from wooing away their workers.

“In the past, we were overrun with farmworkers. But not anymore,” said labor contractor Jesus Mateo, whose crews saw a 20 percent pay increase. “Employers have to do something to attract them. The fastest workers can now earn more than $1,000 per week.”

Anyone who has ever suffered back pain, whether that pain is mild, moderate or severe, understands just how unpleasant it can be.

Back pain can make life extremely difficult, affecting everything a person does, including performance at work, time spent with the kids or even sleeping at night.

For those with back pain, chiropractic care might be the best way to relieve that pain. A nonsurgical treatment of the disorders of the nervous system and/or musculoskeletal system, chiropractic medicine focuses on spinal manipulation and the treatment of the structures surrounding the spine. Understanding chiropractic care can help men and women dealing with pain better determine if it’s for them.

What conditions do chiropractors treat?

A chiropractor can treat a number of conditions, but most treatments focus on a handful of common and often painful conditions. Those conditions include: - joint pain in the arms and legs - mid and lower back pain - neck pain - headaches What do chiropractic treatments entail?

Many people with lower back pain find such pain so unbearable that they seek the help of a chiropractor. Despite that, many more people remain wary of visiting a chiropractor for myriad reasons.

But chiropractors can effectively treat pain in a number of ways.

A chiropractic treatment is commonly referred to as a spinal manipulation. During a treatment, the chiropractor will move a joint beyond its usual range of motion. The joint might be moved through twisting, pulling or pushing, but it won’t be moved beyond the range of motion it’s designed to move. Those being treated for the first time should expect to hear some popping or cracking during the treatment. The goal of a spinal manipulation is to improve functionality while reducing nerve irritability and restoring range of motion in the back.

In addition to spinal manipulation, a chiropractor might try other types of treatments, including: - ultrasound - the application of heat or ice - certain strength and conditioning exercises - relaxation therapy

Do you suffer from any of these • Muscular back or neck conditions? pain • Tennis elbow • Golfer’s elbow • Planter fasciitis • Heel spurs • Frozen shoulder • Hip or Knee pain • Shin splints • Bursitis • Arthritis • Chronic muscle tension

A chiropractor can help treat a host of ailments, including joint pain in the arms and legs and mid and lower back pain.

Are there side effects to chiropractic treatments?

Perhaps the reason some people are hesitant to visit a chiropractor is the fear that, should something go awry, the back could be irreparably damaged. Those fears were common during the early years of chiropractic treatments, but now many medical doctors will work in tandem with a chiropractor to ensure patients are getting the correct and most effective treatments.

That said, there are some potential side effects to chiropractic treatments. Once the spine has been adjusted, some people might feel minor pain or discomfort, and headaches and fatigue are a possibility as well. However, such side effects typically subside within a day of receiving treatment.

In some instances, a herniated disc might result after an adjustment is used to treat neck or back pain. Should that occur, a patient will likely experience pain, weakness and numbness in the buttocks and down the legs. Bladder and bowel control might be affected as well. However, such instances are rare.

Will an adjustment be painful?

Despite the cracking and popping sounds it causes, a spinal adjustment is typically not painful. Of course, men and women who visit a chiropractor are often experiencing significant pain already, and the movement necessary during the treatment might prove painful. However, chiropractors can take steps to make the treatment easier on the patient if he or she is struggling with severe back pain. For instance, a chiropractor might use a drop table during treatment. Parts of the drop table will drop slightly when the chiropractor presses down on the patient’s back. This makes the adjustments more gentle. Another tool used to make adjustments more comfortable is a hand-held tool called an activator.

Many patients, however, do not need either option.

Russia native to offer dog training classes

RUSSIA — Karol Paulus has owned, trained, and shown different breeds of dogs for more than 20 years. The first dog she took into the show ring was a Doberman Pinscher she named Sadie. After Sadie died, Paulus bought a Bouvier des Flandres puppy. She raised him, trained him, and showed him until she retired him from the ring. Beagles, Shih Tzus, and other breeds went with her to numerous shows.

For the last 10 years, Paulus has owned and worked with black and tawny Briards, an ancient breed of large herding dog, originally from France.

She has trained 3 of the top Briards in the nation in obedience and has been inducted into the Briard Hall Of Fame.

She holds several versatility awards and has championed Briards in conformation, won specialty shows, and earned multiple high in trial awards. Paulus has been invited three times to the National

Obedience Invitationals. Besides obedience and conformation, Paulus has successfully trained and shown dogs in high levels of rally and agility.

Paulus will be sharing her experience and skills at Kat’s Canine Corner, 12 W. Main St., Fort Loramie, where many of her awards are on display.

Starting Oct. 8, she will offer classes in Basic Manners, Advanced Obedience, Beginners Jumpers with Weaves, and Advanced Jumpers with Weaves. She will also be available for private classes for dogs with behavioral issues.

Paulus believes training is most effective for the participants when class sizes are limited. She is accepting students now. For more information or to register for classes, call Kat’s Canine Corner at 937-726-3088 or Karol Paulus at 937835-5195.

Karol Paulus is shown after one of her Briards won high scoring Briard in Show.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 68-year-old female who has gotten very bad bruises, especially on my arms, in the past few years. It seems that even if I hit something gently, I get a bruise. Is there anything I can do about this, besides wearing long sleeves to cover up the bruises? Thanks for your help.

—L.S. ANSWER: Almost one person in five reports easy bruising, and the majority of them don’t have any identifiable problems. Women are more likely than men to experience

easy bruising. Since yours are mainly on your arms (and perhaps legs), that is much less worrisome than people who have bruises all over the body.

Larger and more frequent bruising is more concerning as well. A family history of bleeding problems is a big clue to unusual diseases, like von Willebrand’s.

Other reasons that it might be time to consult your doctor about bruising include a history of requiring a transfusion after a surgery or procedure, excess bleeding from minor cuts or bleeding from the gums or nose.

Some medications can cause easy bruising, especially aspirin and anti-inflammatories, but also some antidepressants.

If the bruising started about the time you began a medication, then speak to your doctor.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are well into a relaxed retirement.

His successful, middle-aged son “Rory” has developed the habit of stopping by unannounced occasionally on his way home from work. This would be fine except that it falls in the middle of the dinner hour.

Although we ask Rory to join us, he prefers to just stand over us and talk about his day while we eat. This wasn’t his childhood home, so it’s not a matter of an extended familiarity with this residence.

I have asked his father to speak to him about it, and while he agrees that his son’s actions are rude, he refused to say anything.

My husband is mild-mannered and seems to be happy that Rory takes the time to see him. To me, it looks like this is the most convenient time for Rory to get the occasional parent visit out of the way while not considering our feelings.

Because I have had a good long-term relationship with my stepson, I took him aside and politely explained that

these dinner interruptions are discourteous. Rory blew up at me! I was astonished to see a mature man I respected act in such a childish manner. Now I’m the culprit in a family rift, while my husband remains mute.

Should I have focused on digestion and held my tongue? — DISAPPOINTED STEPMOM DEAR STEPMOM: Because your husband refused to say anything and won’t back you up, it appears the answer is yes. While some people consider the dinner hour to be sacred, not everyone does, and your stepson’s visits were only occasional.

Your request might have been better received had you told Rory that his hovering makes you nervous, and if he didn’t care to share the food you had prepared, you’d appreciate it if he would at least sit at the table with you for everyone’s comfort.

Odd and ends LONDON (AP) — The eagle, red-handed.

Remote cameras intended to monitor Siberian tigers in Russia instead caught a golden eagle’s fatal attack on a deer, snapping three photos as the massive bird dug its talons into the distressed animal’s back.

London’s Zoological Society, which distributed the pictures to journalists, said the sequence showed a rare but not unheard of attack by a golden eagle. The society’s Linda Kerley said she first realized something was up when she approached the wildlife-monitoring device — also called a camera trap - and found a mangled deer carcass nearby.

“Something felt wrong about it,” she said in a statement accompanying the photographs.

Bucks facing first close game COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — No. 4 Ohio State hasn’t picked on anyone its size yet this season.

On Saturday night, that all changes when the Buckeyes host No. 23 Wisconsin.

In its four non-conference games, Ohio State never trailed, led 102-14 through the first quarter and was ahead by at least eight points for 92 percent of the time.

How will they react if they get caught up in a dogfight?

“That’s always an issue,” coach Urban Meyer said. “But we’ll be ready.”

The Wisconsin-Ohio State series has a history of close games. No fewer than 15 of the last 28 meetings have been decided by seven or fewer points.

“It’s a rivalry. These past couple of games have been real close,” Ohio State cornerback Bradley Roby said. “Two years ago it was a last-(minute) play to win the game, and then last year it was overtime. Anytime you have close games like that in the series, that kind of adds to the rivalry.”

To a man, the Buckeyes don’t express any doubts about what they took out of their pre-conference games, which they won by an average score of 53-15. In addition to never being behind,

they were tied for less than 5 percent of the time.

Still, Buffalo, San Diego State, California and Florida A&M are a combined 3-10, with all three of the wins coming against FCS teams.

“Jack (Mewhort) told me yesterday, he said, ‘I’m ready to play somebody this week,’” center Corey Linsley said of his linemate. “We played Cal, and these opponents have been playing hard, but it’s not like a Big Ten game. It’ll never be. It could never be.”

A year ago the Buckeyes ran the table, going 12-0 in Meyer’s first season including a spotless 8-0 in conference play.

Among the closest calls was a 21-14 overtime win at Wisconsin in which the Badgers forced overtime on a touchdown pass and conversion kick with 8 seconds left. The Buckeyes won it in overtime on Carlos Hyde’s 2-yard run and when Christian Bryant batted down Curt Phillips’ fourth-down pass.

The challenge this week for Ohio State’s coaching staff has been to remind the players of just how tight and hard-fought that game was — and what might be coming up on Saturday.

“Our program is not built to perform when you’re up by 20,” receivers coach Zach Smith said. “Our whole program is

Sidney golfers show big improvement in GWOC ARCANUM — Sidney was 15th out of 17 teams in the Greater Western Ohio Conference Golf Tournament Thursday, but that wasn’t the story.

Despite the low finish in the team standings, the Yellow Jacket golfers showed dramatic improvement from early in the season in the action at Beechwood Golf Course here.

Sidney’s total of 360 was 37 strokes better than the GWOC Preseason Tournament, held back on Aug. 9. And when you add in Sidney’s fifth man, Sean Holthaus, it becomes 64 strokes better because he improved his score by 27 strokes over what he shot on Aug. 9.

Senior Michael Barber led the Jackets with an 85, sophomore Cole Cartwright had a 91 and seniors Tom Dunn and Jalen Block both shot 92.

Springboro won the tournament with a 302, nine strokes better than runner-up Centerville and 11 strokes better than Beavercreek, which was third.

GWOC Golf Tournament Thursday at Beechwood Final team standings — 1. Springboro 302, 2. Centerville 311, 3. Beavercreek 313, 4.

Lady Jackets tie Vandalia 1-1 VANDALIA — The Sidney girls soccer team is still in the running for a Greater Western Ohio Confernece North title after tying with Vandalia 2-2 on Wednesday night.

The Lady Jackets are now 2-0-2 in the GWOC North with one game left, and that’s against league-leading Troy Wednesday at Troy.

Sidney got up on Vandalia 1-0 on a goal by Lauren Boyd with 11 minutes remaining in the first half. But Sidney was then called for a handball in the box, resulting in a successful penalty kick by the Lady Aviators.

The score was knotted 1-1 at the half, but Sidney again took the lead with 26 mintes left in the game when Lauren Spaugy sent a cross in front of the goal to Emily Wiesenmayer for the go-ahead score.

But Vandalia was able to tie the game with 15 minutes left.

“We had a few attempts before the game ended but could not capitalize,” said Sidney coach Stacey Goffena. “It’s very frustrating to constantly have the lead in games and not be able to maintain them. I’m not sure if it’s lack of experience or mental breakdowns, but we’re going to have to work through and figure it out.”

Sidney’s junior varsity won 7-0.

Lehman JVs win Lehman’s junior varsity took on Lima Senior and won 4-0.

Goals were scored by Katie Edwards, Madison Cline, Alexis Grise and Kassie Lee. Liz Pax had two assists.

Lehman is 5-3.

The message must be hitting home to the players.

“Every Big Ten game is going to be a battle,” wide receiver Evan Spencer said. “We’re going out there to war every week, every time we’re going

to play a Big Ten game. Having Wisconsin this early in the season, it’s going to be good for us, I think.”

Wisconsin is also aware of the importance of making big plays when most needed.

“When it comes to the waning moments of the game, we’ve got to bow up and get a stop for our team,” safety Dezmen Southward said.

The Big Four Foundation will be holding a fundraiser/Ohio State tailgate party at Buffalo Wild Wings in Sidney on Saturday.

The event will begin at 2 p.m., with a live band on the patio, and a live auction of Ohio State-signed items. The tailgate party will last until 8 p.m. when the Buckeyes take on Wisconsin in Big Ten play.

Among the items to be auctioned off is an autographed jersey signed by former OSU great Jack Tatum.

It is a rare piece, with the bidding starting at $200. Also to be auctioned off is an Archie Griffin football, a Braxton Miller football and an Urban Meyer autographed mini helmet.

BW3s will donate 10 percent of your food bill from 2-to-8 p.m. back to the Big Four Foundation, which helps families and individuals in need in the Shelby County area.

Selig to retire in 2015 NEW YORK (AP) — Bud Selig said Thursday he plans to retire as baseball commissioner in January 2015 after a term of more than 22 years marked by robust growth in attendance and revenue along with a canceled World Series and a drug scandal.

The 79-year-old Selig said in 2003 that he would retire in 2006 but has repeatedly accepted new contracts.

Some owners — even his wife — have been skeptical in the past that he really would do it, but this marked the first time he issued a formal statement that he intends to step down from the sport’s top job.

“I look forward to continuing its extraordinary growth and addressing several significant issues during the remainder of my term,” he said.

Selig said he will soon announce a transition plan that will include a reorganization of central baseball management.

He said he will leave on Jan. 24, 2015, which would mark the secondlongest term for a baseball commissioner behind Kenesaw Mountain Landis, who served from November 1920 to November 1944.

Selig bought the Seattle Pilots in bankruptcy court in 1970 and moved the team to Milwaukee. He became a leading owner by the early 1980s

Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig speaks at a news conference at the league’s offices in New York. Selig said in a formal statement Thursday that he plans to retire in January 2015.

in his role as chairman of the Player Relations Committee, which determined labor policy.

He was part of the group that forced Fay Vincent’s resignation and he took over as acting commissioner on Sept.

9, 1992, in his role as chairman of the executive council.

While he presided over a 7½-month strike in 1994-95 that led to the cancellation of the World Series for the first time in 90 years, MLB and its players have had labor peace since.

Although he repeatedly said he

would not take the job full time, he was formally elected commissioner July 9, 1998. He turned running the Brewers over to his daughter Wendy, but the Selig family did not sell the franchise until 2005.

Selig agreed to new contracts in 2001 and 2004. He first announced his planned retirement in 2003, telling a group from Associated Press Sports Editors he would leave when his current term expired at the end of 2006.

“For a guy who took it in Sept. 9, 1992, and I told my wife it was two-tofour months — 14 years later … I think that will be enough. There’s no question, because there are other things I really would like to do.”

Asked again if this was his final term, Selig responded; “Oh, there’s no question.”

He then agreed to new contracts in 2004, 2008 and 2012.

Selig was at the helm while baseball was criticized for being slow to react to the rise of performance-enhancing drugs. Management didn’t have a drug agreement with its players from October 1985 until August 2002, and drug testing with penalties didn’t start until 2004. Selig has repeatedly defended his record, saying baseball acted as fast as it could in a matter that was subject to bargaining with players.

Cameron catching on as playmaker BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Jordan Cameron’s hoop-playing days are over. Still, every once in a while he’ll join a pickup basketball game, and at some point dunk on some unfortunate defender.

“That’s all I can do,” the tight end said, cracking up. “I can’t shoot.”

Fortunately for the Browns, his football skills are much more diverse.

Cameron, who played basketball at Brigham Young and walked-on USC’s team before concentrating on his football career, has quickly developed into one of Cleveland’s top offensive players.

Through three games, the 6-foot-5, 252-pounder leads the team in catches (20), yards receiving (269) and touchdowns (40).

Last week, he tied a Browns record with three TD catches, including one off a fake field goal as well as the game-winner from quarterback Brian Hoyer with 51 seconds left.

For Cameron, it had been quite a drought between threeTD games.

“High school,” he said. “Back in the day.”

The Browns have been pleased with Cameron’s progress and development as a bigtime target.

A fourth-round pick in 2011 after catching just 16 passes in 12 games for the Trojans, he had just six catches as a rookie. He finished last season with only 20 receptions for 226 yards, numbers he’s already surpassed with 13 games remaining.

Before training camp began, there were questions about his durability and whether Cameron could handle a heavy workload or the complexities of first-year coach Rob Chudzinski’s offensive system.

So far, Cameron has delivered.

“It feels good,” the 25-yearold said. “It’s kind of one of those things that I’ve been working for so long that it just feels like forever. You have to be patient and I just put my head down and kept grinding every day and I’m just trying to focus on the little things.

“Sometime you can get caught up in hearing everyone else say, ‘You’re not going to make it. You’re not good enough. You’re just a basketball player.’ I haven’t made it by any means.

“I have a lot of work to do and I’ve got to keep progressing each week.”

Browns offensive coordinator Norv Turner knows a good tight end when he sees one.

Turner spent several seasons in San Diego with Antonio Gates, a former Kent State basketball player who has built a Hall of Fame resume with the Chargers.

While Cameron has a long way to go to be mentioned in Gates’ company, he’s making the right strides for the Browns.

“I just like the consistency,” Turner said of Cameron’s growth. “I think there was a concern in spring and people talked about me getting to know him: ‘Is he a consistent guy? Is he a guy who can show

Cleveland Browns tight end Jordan Cameron (84) starts to celebrate after a 7-yard touchdown catch against the Miami Dolphins earlier this season in Cleveland.

up and do it?’ And right now, he’s done that for three games.

He creates problems for defensive players.”

Cameron finished with six catches for 66 yards against the Vikings. After three games, he’s second among tight ends in yardage, tied for fourth among all AFC players and 11th among NFL players.

While others may seem surprised, the confident Cameron doesn’t seem shocked by his fast start.

“I’m just trying to be a playmaker for this team,” he said.

“It’s not one of those things where I was going to have any objectives for myself this season. I just wanted to be a guy that this team could count on,

be reliable and that’s my goal this year.”

With size and jumping ability, Cameron is part of a new breed of tight ends changing pro football. Browns defensive coordinator Ray Horton said players such as Cameron are a matchup nightmare.

“They’re wide receivers in tight ends bodies and it’s bringing a new dimension to the game,” he said. “It’s how the DBs have now changed from the small guys to the bigger guys. You just tend to match what the other side of the ball is doing and it poses problems for people.

“Because they’re so big, they’re faster than the linebackers but they’re bigger than the

safeties. It’s kind of that hybrid position that everybody covets right now.”

It’s the position Cameron prefers. Once he walked away from the basketball court, he was determined to make plays on the field. He’s quieted some of the doubters and wants to silence them for good.

“It is motivation, but frankly I’m tired of hearing about basketball,” he said. “I’m not a basketball player. I’m a football player now. I guess it helps.

These tight ends nowadays have basketball backgrounds, but I don’t want to be known as a basketball player.”

That appears to be a slam dunk.

NOTES: LB Jabaal Sheard did not practice again because of a sprained knee. It’s likely he will miss Sunday’s game against Cincinnati and possibly more time. With Sheard out, rookie Barkevious Mingo will likely make his first start, and Horton believes the firstround pick is ready for a full workload. “He’s growing,” Horton said. “I think he will be better this coming week than he was last weekend.”… DE Billy Winn (quadriceps) and K Billy Cundiff (quad) also sat out practice. … QB Brandon Weeden (sprained thumb) was not wearing a brace on his hand for the first time since he got hurt. … RG Shawn Lauvao could make his season debut this week after undergoing ankle surgery.

Sidney wins over Wapak 3-1 WAPAKONETA — Sidney got back on the winning track after two straight losses, going on the road and beating Wapakoneta 3-1 in nonleague boys soccer action here Thursday.

The win left the Jackets at 5-7-1 heading into a home game Tuesday against leagueleading Troy.

All three of Sidney’s goals came in the first half.

The first was less than four minutes into the game and was scored by Brady Gaylor unassisted.

With 21:25 left, Blake

Steenrod scored and Gaylor got the assist, and four minutes later, Kyle Mann scored off an assist by Steenrod.

“We’re a young team that’s had to deal with injuries, so it felt good to get another win tonight,” said Sidney head coach Eric Harlamert.

There was no junior varsity game.

Cavs, NK tie The Lehman boys soccer team traveled to New Knoxville Thursday night and ended up with a 0-0 tie.

The Cavaliers dominated play most of the game but

could not get the ball in the net. They have now gone scoreless in their last 4 games.

“I sound like a broken record,” Lehman coach Tom Thornton said. “We have to be able to finish the shots when we get them. I thought we controlled the ball better then we have and we got some good touches but we couldn’t score.”

Lehman outshot New Knoxville 12-6. The Cavaliers are 4-4-2 for the season while the Rangers are 2-6-2.

Indy to host IndyCar road race in May INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is taking a different tack to bring fans to the track this May — a road race.

On Thursday, the speedway’s board of directors voted to add a second IndyCar race in May at the historic Brickyard. It’s the first time IndyCar drivers will compete on something other than Indy’s 2.5mile oval, and it’s the first time they’ll prepare for two races in one season at the speedway. The road race is scheduled for the weekend of May 10-11, two weeks ahead of the series’ marquee event, the Indianapolis 500. Finals details have not yet been worked out.

Organizers are hoping the addition will help improve attendance and rejuvenate interest in a series that has struggled to regain its fan base since the contentious split with the nowdefunct CART series that took place nearly two decades ago.

“The great thing about having Mark Miles here is that he’s made all of us think differently and think about new ways to revive not only the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but to help the IndyCar Series grow,” speedway president Doug Boles said

after the vote. “This is an organization that wants to move forward, wants to celebrate the Indianapolis 500 and wants to celebrate the month of May.” Speculation increased when it appeared the MotoGP series might bypass Indy, a loss that would have meant Indy’s road course was only going to be used by the sports cars during NASCAR’s race weekend in late July. MotoGP has since announced it will be back at Indy next season, but the contract expires after the 2014 race.

And after IndyCar drivers gave the course good reviews following a test three weeks ago, the idea gained traction.

Miles, the CEO of IndyCar’s parent company, Hulman & Co., supported the move all along but remained cautious about what direction the vote would go.

It turned out, the board couldn’t pass it up.

“This event will bring even more energy and action to the month of May for fans and create another showcase for the diversity and excitement of the speedway and the IndyCar Series,” Miles said in a statement. “The new road race will further enhance the Indianapolis Motor

Speedway as the premier motorsports destination in the world and direct an even brighter spotlight on the Indianapolis 500.”

Not everyone will be pleased, though.

Some outspoken traditionalists have already expressed opposition, just as they did when NASCAR and Formula One first came to the track. Speedway officials believe most fans will support a second May race and are hopeful critics will eventually change their minds, too.

“I look at the Indianapolis 500 and Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and I can define almost every moment in my life with an event that happened around here,” said Boles, who has attended every 500 since 1977. “I would challenge you to find someone that is more of a traditionalist than I am, and I believe this opportunity right now will actually improve the month of May and helps us grow the Indianapolis 500.”

There is plenty of work to do.

Qualifying is set for May 17-18, with the race scheduled to be run May 25, the traditional Sunday of Memorial Day weekend — dates that will not change unless

there is rain.

But organizers may have to revise the opening weekend schedule.

Indy 500 Practice is set to begin May 10-11, which now becomes a race weekend. If that doesn’t change track workers may find themselves scrambling to make the conversion from oval course to road course and back for the first two practice days.

Fortunately, they’ve had a chance to fine-tune those conversion skills.

“We tested our ability the last two years with the Kroger Super Weekend and have gotten to the point where we can do it in about an hour,” Boles said, referring to the NASCAR weekend races. “To do a full conversion, we really can do that in about four hours. So there’s no real issue in how we would convert the track.”

The board also approved a measure Thursday that would renovate the road course, creating more passing zones and better views for fans.

More details about those changes and the schedule are expected to be announced during a news conference Tuesday in Indianapolis.

Eighteen; 5. Five.

RECRUITING UPDATE

“I haven’t had one person say, ‘Well, it’s too bad Bret left,’ or ‘We were sorry to see Bret leave.’ ” —Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez talks about former Badgers coach Bret Bielema, who left Wisconsin to coach at Arkansas.

Urban Meyer likes night games as a recruiting tool, so it is no surprise Ohio State is trying to get a large group of recruits to Saturday night’s game against Wisconsin.

Maybe the top 2014 prospects who have tentatively told several sources they will be at the game are John “JuJu” Smith, a 4-star safety from Long Beach, Calif., and Johnnie Dixon, a 4-star wide receiver from Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Tight end Mike Gesicki, of Manahawkin, N.J., a 3-star prospect, also could be there.

Ohio State already has 18 verbal commitments for its 2014 recruiting class. Among the top players it is still pursuing are: 5-star linebacker Raekwon McMillan (Hinesville, Ga.), and 4-star Cleveland Glenville defensive backs Marshon Lattimore and Erick Smith.

Several already committed players had big games last week.

Defensive lineman Dylan Thompson (Lombard, Ill. Montini) had three sacks. Linebacker Dante Booker (9 tackles) and running back/defensive back Parris Campbell (178 yards rushing) helped Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary beat Youngstown Mooney for the first time since 1988. Offensive lineman Demetrius Knox (Fort Worth All Saints) has teammates who have verbally commited to TCU, Louisville and Kansas State. No surprise, they’re unbeaten.

No. 23 Wisconsin at No. 4 Ohio State, 8 p.m., ABC < RECEIVERS Eleven different players have caught passes for OSU. Devin Smith and Corey Brown both have 16 catches.

Smith’s catch in the final minute was the game-winner in 2011 the last time Wisconsin played in Ohio Stadium.

Wisconsin’s receiving options are more limited. Wide receiver Jarred Abbrederis’ 23 catches are more than twice as many as the No. 2 receiver, James White with 11. Tight end Jacob Petersen has eight catches.

Advantage: Ohio State

< OFFENSIVE LINE Ohio State’s offensive line basically got a week off last week. After the Buckeyes went up 34-0 by the end of the first quarter, the subs started to go in. The starters should be healthy and well rested this week.

Wisconsin is No. 3 nationally in rushing yards per game (349.8) and has allowed only three quarterback sacks with a line that has two first-year starters. Left guard Ryan Groy (24 starts), Pedersen (24 starts) and right tackle Rob Havenstein (19 starts) are the most experienced linemen.

Advantage: Ohio State

< DEFENSIVE LINE This will be a major test for Ohio State’s defensive line, which has four new starters this season, because those young players will have to deal with Wisconsin’s running game and the pressure of playing in a game with big implications.

End Adolphus Washington (groin) might return this week and interior lineman Michael Bennett (shoulder) will definitely be back.

Wisconsin had four sacks in a 41-10 win over Purdue last week and has allowed only 76.3 yards a game rushing.

Advantage: Wisconsin

< LINEBACKERS Ryan Shazier’s signature move so far in his career was going airborne to force a goal line fumble by Montee Ball last year’s OSU win over the Badgers. He will need help from middle linebacker Curtis Grant and Joshua Perry against Wisconsin’s running game. < QUARTERBACKS Chris Borland leads Wisconsin in tackles and has The decision whether to start Braxton Miller or adjusted well to the Badgers changing to a 3-4 from a 4-3.

Wisconsin contained Miller last year, OSU’s pass defense statistics have gone from one limiting him to 97 yards passing and 48 yards rushing. extreme to the other in the last two games, giving up Wisconsin quarterback Joel Stave (60 of 95 for 761 yards, 6 touchdowns, 3 371 yards to California and 30 yards to Florida A&M. interceptions) missed last year’s 21-14 overtime win by Ohio State because of a Overall, the Buckeyes rank third in the Big Ten in pass broken collarbone. defense.

Rivalries like this are rare

The Michigan game has always been something beyond any other football game on Ohio State’s schedule.

But over the last 20 years Ohio State against Wisconsin has become a solid, if distant, second on the list of rivalries for the Buckeyes.

Twenty-five years ago, this would have seemed impossible. Wisconsin was one of those places where the band developed a cult following because the football team wasn’t very good.

But since Barry Alvarez turned the Badgers around in the early 1990s, they have emerged as OSU’s biggest rival In the Big Ten other than Michigan.

The first component of a rivalry is that is has to be competitive. Both teams have to have a chance to win.

Ohio State-Wisconsin meets that standard. Since 1992, Ohio State is 10-6-1 against Wisconsin. Only Michigan’s nine wins over OSU exceeds Wisconsin’s win total in that time frame. Nine of those games have been decided by a touchdown or less.

Saturday night’s game will be the sixth time since 2000 both teams have been ranked.

And OSU losses in two of those matchups have intensified the rivalry.

In 2010, Ohio State was No. 1 when No. 22 Wisconsin hung a 31-18 loss on the Buckeyes. In 2003, OSU was No. 3 and Wisconsin was No. 18 when backup quarterback Matt Schabert threw a 79-yard touchdown pass to beat the Buckeyes 17-10 and end a 19-game winning streak.

Throw in the fact that Wisconsin’s Bret Bielema was the coach Ohio State fans loved to hate and you’ve got a healthy rivalry.

The Big Ten got a lot of things right when it realigned its divisions geographically, starting next season.

But probably the worst thing about that change is that Ohio State and Wisconsin won’t be playing each other nearly as often.

They’ve played 18 times in the last 22 seasons. But the only time the Badgers will appear on OSU’s schedule from 2014-2017 is a 2016 game in Madison.

Victor Martinez, Detroit Last week, Martinez hit safely in all seven games with five walks and one strikeout. He now has a nine-game hitting streak. The DH has seen duty behind the plate recently as the Tigers want him to be ready to catch should Detroit make it to the World Series.

Alex Cobb, Tampa Bay Last week, Cobb gave the Rays two tremendous starts against the Rangers and Orioles, teams the Rays are battling for one of the wild card spots. The young righthander logged at least eight innings in both starts and allowed just 14 baserunners against 22 whiffs.

Matt Holliday, St. Louis The Cardinals’ left fielder had four multi-hit games for the Redbirds last week and hit .500 with a .581 OBP. He drove in seven runs and scored eight as St. Louis ended the week with a two-game lead in the NL Central.

Next weekend, three likely Hall of Famers will say their final good-byes to fans. Mariano Rivera, the best closer of all-time, announced early in the year that this would be his final season. Recently, Colorado first baseman Todd Helton said he will hang it up after the season. And Rivera’s teammate Andy Pettitte has also indicated that this is his final campaign.

Some players like farewell tours, while others prefer to dodge the spotlight and hoopla. But honoring the three hasn’t escaped our pages.

Todd Helton The first baseman, who has played his entire career with Colorado, is one of only three players in history with two seasons of more than 100 extra-base hits. Helton accomplished that in back-to-back seasons in 200001. He enjoyed his best season in 2000, when he led the National League in batting, on-base, slugging, hits, doubles and RBIs.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Saturday, Sept. 28, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might enter into disputes about shared property, insurance matters, inheritances or anything you own jointly with others today. Don't lose your cool. See how the wind blows.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Conversations with partners and close friends will require more patience on your part today, because people are grouchy. Use your diplomatic skills to smooth your relations with others.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your ideas about how to improve your workspace might meet with objections from others. Not everyone shares your ideas. Postpone these for a day or two. (No biggie.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Parents might find relations with children a bit challenging today.

Likewise, romantic partnerships could get bogged down in arguments.

Patience is your only ally. (Whew!)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Family discussions might trigger conflict today, which is why it's a good day to postpone important suggestions with family members. Just let sleeping dogs lie.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might feel affronted because you feel your best efforts are ignored or unappreciated. Try not to overreact, because perhaps others feel the same way. It's a dicey day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Try to sidestep disputes about money, earnings and possessions today. Who needs this? Not you. Why not postpone these discussions if you can?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might feel defeated today. Your ambition is aroused, and whatever you try seems to be blocked by others. (Sheesh!) Or perhaps they resent it. Just wait and see.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Secret love affairs might cause some anxiety in your life or the life of someone else. Basically, Sagittarius is a sign that likes to be upfront and honest. (Sometimes too honest!)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Don't blow a friendship over a disagreement today. It's not worth it.

And hey --you take your friendships seriously. Just bite your tongue and save the relationship.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Decisions that you make with an authority figure today might cause resentment on the part of someone else --perhaps a partner. It's tough to keep everybody happy.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today, because arguments are likely.

There's no need to prove anything or to be right or win. It's always best to get along. (You know this.)

YOU BORN TODAY You are seductive and romantic, but always elegantly tasteful. Whether you're aware of it or not, you magnetize others to you with your charm. You love beauty in your friends and your surroundings. You are loyal to family and will never forsake a friend in need. Seek opportunities this year to study or learn something valuable to you. You won't regret it.

Edison receives grant to assist local high school students PIQUA — Edison Community College was recently awarded a Direct Impact Grant in excess of $200,000 from TG to support the Connect to College program.

The grant is funding College Bound advisers and programming in the high schools to help students articulate, plan and execute their higher education goals.

More than 3,500 high school students and their parents stand to benefit from the College Bound project, with the primary beneficiaries being underresourced and first-generation high school students who attend Piqua, Sidney and Greenville city schools.

Students participating in the grant-supported initiative will participate in “College 101,” a semester-long course that’s specifically designed to offer students the opportunity to learn more about and prepare for applying to and attending college.

Topics covered in the course include, choosing the right college or postsecondary option, college majors, career exploration, learning styles and strategies, campus services, diversity, college lifestyles, and more. An estimated 200 students will complete the “College 101” course in year one, and 600 in year two.

TG supports travel between school districts, early college readiness testing (Compass) for 1,000 students, stipends for Edison faculty to facilitate 15 “Connect to College” seminars to students over the two-year period, and dissemination activities promoting the concept and results of the College Bound program.

College Bound advisers working under the grant will be employed

by Edison Community College and will also work with each high school’s guidance counselors to

assist them in identifying students who are in need of coaching and mentorship for college preparation.

“This program provides a great opportunity for students to start thinking about the college selection process,” said Rob Cowles, College Bound adviser. “Many times people think the process should begin during a student’s junior or senior year of high school, in reality, this is more near the end of the process.

The goal of the program is to get students thinking about college earlier and help them discover opportunities that they may have not known about.”

The grant aims to help create a college-going culture that will be proficient with college concepts, vocabulary and planning.

High school students will work directly with respective guidance counselors, teachers as well as College Bound advisers, student success advisers and faculty at Edison to ensure these goals of the grant are met.

TG promotes educational access and success so that students can realize their college and career dreams. As a nonprofit corporation, TG offers resources to help students and families plan and prepare for college, learn the basics of money management, and repay their federal student loans. TG has awarded more than $34 million in grant funding to nonprofit organizations and higher education institutions since 2005.

For more information about the program, Edison Community College, or online resources, contact Rob Cowles, College Bound adviser, at rcowles@edisonohio. edu<mailto:rcowles@edisonohio.edu>.
