Beigel appointed magistrate in Shelby County Juvenile Court Shelby County Juvenile Court Judge William R. Zimmerman Sr. swore in Sidney attorney Jeffrey J. Beigel as juvenile court magistrate Friday. Beigel started his magistrate duties Tuesday. Beigel replaces Juvenile Court Magistrate Michael L. Smith, who retired Monday. Smith, 67, has been an attorney in Sidney since 1973. He served as Sidney’s Law Director from 1991 to 2011 and had been the juvenile court magistrate since 2009. “Mike has been a tremendous asset to our staff,” Zimmerman said. “His knowledge of the law,

professionalism and organization will be missed.” Beigel maintains a private practice in Sidney. For the last 10 years he has served as an assistant Shelby County prosecuting attorney handling the county’s civil matters. Beigel also has served for various villages in the county as solicitor. He holds a juris doctorate and a Master of Business Administration from the Ohio State University. “I want to thank Judge Zimmerman for this opportunity to serve the community,” Beigel said. “I’ve admired how well he handles the court, the team he has in place, his relation-

ship with the Bar Association, and his ability to strike a good balance between protecting this community and establishing a path for juveniles and families where needed.” Beigel added, “I also want to thank Magistrate Smith for his guidance. Mike has been a valuable member of our legal community, and I wish his well-earned retirement. Finally, thank you to my wife, Lorie, family, friends and colleagues. It goes without saying that this opportunity would not be available without their support.” Beigel will be paid $50,000 as magistrate.

BEIRUT (AP) — Deadly clashes raged on the edge of Damascus on Wednesday and rival rebel factions battled each other in northern Syria as international chemical weapons inspectors began to secure the sites will they will work. The fighting underscored the immense security challenge that the dozens of disarmament experts must negotiate as they work amid the civil war to meet tight deadlines for eliminating President Bashar Assad’s estimated 1,000-ton arsenal of chemical weapons. The inspectors’ mission — endorsed by a U.N. Security Council resolution passed last week — is to scrap Syria’s capacity to manufacture chemical weapons by Nov. 1 and destroy its entire stockpile by mid-2014. A convoy of SUVs with U.N. markings departed the central Damascus hotel where the team from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons is staying as the inspectors headed out for their first full day in the country. The U.N. and OPCW said in a statement that “joint work with the Syrian authorities has begun on securing the sites where the team will operate, especially in outlying areas.” It added that planning continues for disabling production facilities as do discussions on the size of Syria’s stockpile.

Rally pushes abortion rights, women’s health Julie Carr Smyth Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — With her two-week-old son in hand, Cleveland gynecologist Lisa Perriera told demonstrators at the Ohio Statehouse on Wednesday that new laws limiting access to abortions and other women’s health care are creating unnecessary hurdles for her patients. Perriera said that because of the laws she recently had to require a couple forced to end a pregnancy for medical reasons to listen to the fetal heartbeat and undergo an ultrasound to determine the pregnancy’s viability before sending them out of state for a legal late-term abortion. “I’m here today to speak in opposition to the continuous assault on comprehensive reproductive health care by our

state elected officials and to demand that Ohio politicians get out of my exam room,” Perriera told the crowd of several hundred at the “We Won’t Go Back” rally. Participants from more than 50 women’s groups, labor unions and elsewhere hoped the rally would draw the attention of Republican Gov. John Kasich and GOP lawmakers who control both chambers of the Legislature and favor restriction abortion. Demonstrators waved signs attacking Kasich and other male leaders for effectively defunding Planned Parenthood and passing abortion-related restrictions on Ohio’s publicly funded hospitals and on counselors at taxpayer-funded rape crisis centers. The president of Ohio Right to Life predicted the event would do little to sway opin-

ions on abortion. “It’s a political stunt. It’s nothing more than a charade,” Mike Gonidakis said. “It won’t move the needle at all in the state.” Gonidakis said Ohio has a history of preventing public money from being spent on abortions and of enacting tough laws against the procedure, including a late-term abortion ban. Two Ohio clinics offering abortions have recently closed and a third, in Toledo, is expected to close in the next six months as a result of the changes. “This was done in a trick maneuver and it’s very important that women rally and fix it,” Feminist Majority Foundation President Ellie Smeal, one of the event speakers, said in a telephone interview. “This has to be changed. Women’s lives

and their health care can’t be made a political football like this.” What Smeal calls a “trick maneuver” was the last-minute addition of several abortionrelated provisions to the state budget, not leaving time for debate. Several of the proposals, including Planned Parenthood defunding, had been extensively debated earlier as separate bills. Smeal said clinic closures are limiting access to inexpensive services including pap smears, birth control, breast cancer screening and abortions in the state. Perriera and Smeal were joined on the podium Wednesday by National Organization for Women President Terry O’Neill and other leaders of the abortion rights and women’s movements. The groups, joined by

Democratic lawmakers, have sought with mixed success to raise the profile of the women’s health care debate in Ohio in the wake of the abortion-related budget changes. Their latest effort comes on the heels of an annual state report that shows slightly more abortions were logged in Ohio last year than in 2011, marking the first increase in more than a decade. The Department of Health says 25,473 abortions were reported in 2012. That’s about 700 more than in 2011, when the number hit its lowest level since the data-tracking started in 1976. The number had decreased annually between 2000 and 2011. The report doesn’t speculate on reasons for the latest yearto-year increase. Most patients last year were Ohio residents, with about a third between

5 months later, rape case grand jury not done Andrew Welsh-Huggins Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — The grand jury investigating whether other laws were broken in the case of a 16-yearold girl raped in eastern Ohio last

year has hit the five-month mark without criminal charges. A chief issue before the 14-member panel is whether coaches, school administrators or other adults knew of the allegation but failed to report it as required by Ohio law.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A man who drowned while helping to save a young girl off the coast of South Carolina was one of 22 people honored on Thursday with medals for heroism by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission. Jeffery Scott Dinkins drowned off Myrtle Beach, S.C., in July 2011. The 6-year-old girl and her father were wading in the Atlantic Ocean when they were caught in a current that swept them into deeper water. Dinkins, 41, swam 150 feet offshore, took the girl from her father and started to swim toward the beach. As Dinkins began to struggle in the strong currents, other people helped the girl and her father to safety. But Dinkins, who was from Lewisville, N.C., lost consciousness and couldn’t be revived.

and local officials who hope to replicate the system on other creeks that feed Grand Lake St. Marys. In the so-called treatment train, water from Prairie Creek is treated with alum and sent through farmland that’s been repurposed as wetlands to naturally filter the flow before it reaches the lake. Different types of plants, organisms and rock barriers aid the filtering process, The Lima News (http://bit. ly/1c2aOFQ ) reported. Grand Lake restoration manager Milt Miller said the system cleans more than a million gallons of water daily. “It shows you the power of Mother Nature when we give it some help,” Miller told the newspaper. “The beauty of these wetlands are they are long-term strategies and long-term benefits.” Officials hope to replicate the system on five more creeks around the western Ohio lake. The project cost $1.9 million — covered by federal,

state and local funds — and the two-year state budget provides $2.1 million for one more “treatment train” in the lake’s watershed, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Officials also have farm outreach and other tactics, such as dredging the lake bottom, to combat the algae and reduce levels of the phosphorus that feeds the type of toxic blooms that plagued the lake in recent years and hampered tourism. Phosphorus from farm fertilizers and livestock manure ends up in runoff and is blamed for feeding algae blooms at Grand Lake and others, including Lake Erie. Officials acknowledge Grand Lake has a long way to go. But the drops in phosphate levels from the Prairie Creek project prove it is money wellspent, Ohio Department of Agriculture Director David Daniels said in a statement. ___ Information from: The Lima News, http:// www.limanews.com

Nation/World Today in History Associated Press

Today is Thursday, Oct. 3, the 276th day of 2013. There are 89 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 3, 1990, West Germany and East Germany ended 45 years of postwar division, declaring the creation of a reunified country. On this date: In 1226, St. Francis of Assisi, founder of the Franciscan order, died; he was canonized in 1228. In 1789, President George Washington declared Nov. 26, 1789, a day of Thanksgiving to express gratitude for the creation of the United States of America. In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in November Thanksgiving Day. In 1929, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes formally changed its name to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. In 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Office of Economic Stabilization. In 1951, the New York Giants captured the National League pennant by a score of 5-4 as Bobby Thomson hit a threerun homer off the Brooklyn Dodgers’ Ralph Branca in the “shot heard ‘round the world.” In 1961, “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” also starring Mary Tyler Moore, made its debut on CBS. In 1962, astronaut Wally Schirra blasted off from Cape Canaveral aboard the Sigma 7 on a nine-hour flight. In 1970, the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) was established under the Department of Commerce. In 1991, Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton entered the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. In 1995, the jury in the O.J. Simpson murder trial found the former football star not guilty of the 1994 slayings of his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ronald Goldman (however, Simpson was later found liable in a civil trial). In 2002, five people were shot to death in the Washington, D.C. area within a 14-hour period, beginning the hunt for the “Beltway Sniper.” (In all, ten people were killed; mastermind John Allen Muhammad and teenage accomplice Lee Boyd Malvo were later caught.) Ten years ago: A tiger attacked magician Roy Horn of duo “Siegfried & Roy” during a performance in Las Vegas, leaving the superstar illusionist in critical condition on his 59th birthday. Illustrator and children’s book author William Steig died in Boston at age 95. Five years ago: Amid dire warnings of economic disaster, a reluctant Congress abruptly reversed course and approved a historic $700 billion government bailout of the battered financial industry; President George W. Bush swiftly signed it. Thirteen years to the day after O.J. Simpson was acquitted of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, the former football star was found guilty of robbing two sports-memorabilia dealers at gunpoint in a Las Vegas hotel room. (Simpson was later sentenced to nine to 33 years in prison.)

Out of the Blue

Birth seen via cub cam LONDON (AP) — Call it Cub Cam: Hidden cameras have captured the birth of a Sumatran tiger cub, London Zoo’s first in 17 years. The zoo announced Wednesday that five-yearold tiger Melati had given birth to the cub on Sept. 22 following a six-minute labor. It said zookeepers had kept Melati’s 105-day pregnancy under wraps so they could keep a careful eye on the tiger, installing hidden cameras so as not to disturb the first-time mother. The cub is the grandchild of the zoo’s last tiger cub, Hari — the father of Melati. The cub — whose sex and name are not yet known — was born six months after the opening of the zoo’s new “tiger territory” exhibit, which is designed to encourage breeding of the critically endangered species. The zoo said its new arrival will not be shown for a few weeks.

Pressure mounts to adjust health insurance exchanges Juliet Williams and Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar Associated Press

The pressure is on for the federal government and states running their own health insurance exchanges to get the systems up and running after overloaded websites and jammed phone lines frustrated consumers for a second day as they tried to sign up for coverage using the new marketplaces. In some ways, the delays that persisted Wednesday were good news for President Barack Obama and supporters of his signature domestic policy achievement because the holdups showed what appeared to be exceptionally high interest in the overhauled insurance system. But if the glitches aren’t fixed quickly, they could dampen enthusiasm for the law at the same time Republicans are using it as a rallying cry to keep most of the federal government closed. “It was worse today than it was yesterday,” Denise Rathman of Des Moines said after she tried for a second day to log onto the Iowa site.

Rathman has insurance through Dec. 31 but said she is eager to sign up for a policy because of her psoriatic arthritis, which has caused her to be denied insurance in the past. David Berge, a pastor with two young children in Shoreview, Minn., tried unsuccessfully at least 10 times to create an online account on the state-run site MNsure. His highdeductible plan expires at the end of the year. “I’m anxious to see what the insurance is going to look like for my family at the beginning of the year,” Berge said. “That’s a big unknown right now. I want to figure that out as soon as possible so we can begin planning.” In California, home to 15 percent of the nation’s uninsured, officials pulled the enrollment portion of the Covered California site down overnight for emergency upgrades. It was restored midmorning Wednesday, and 7,770 people had started applications by then, spokesman Roy Kennedy said. California is one of a handful of mostly Democratic states

that opted to set up their own exchanges rather than let the federal government do it for them. In the 36 states being operated by the federal Department of Health and Human Services, consumer patience was still being tested.

Agency spokeswoman Joanne Peters said many Americans successfully enrolled on the first day, but she declined to put a number on it. She said the delays were due to “overwhelming interest” and high volume.

8 killed in church bus crash Steve Megagee and Travis Loller Associated Press

DANDRIDGE, Tenn. (AP) — A bus taking a church group home to North Carolina blew a tire, veered across a highway median and crashed into a sport utility vehicle and tractor-trailer Wednesday in a fiery wreck that killed eight people, authorities said. Fourteen other people were hurt in the accident in northeastern Tennessee, including eight who were in critical condition. The bus was carrying members of the Front Street Baptist Church in Statesville, N.C., which is about 140 miles east of the crash site. The group of seniors, known as Young at Heart, had been to the 17th annual Fall Jubilee in Gatlinburg, Tenn., a three-day event featuring gospel singers and speakers. Inside the Statesville church, people were crying and hugging each other. One woman whispered “It’s going

to be all right” while hugging another woman. A service was scheduled for Wednesday night. George Stadfeld, who has been a member of the church for eight years, said he knew everyone on the bus. “We’re all shaken,” he said. “As bad as it is, they’re all Christians and I know where they’re at. I’ll join them later.” The Fall Jubilee website described the gathering as “three days of singing, laughing and preaching” for “mature and senior believers.” After the accident, a banner was posted on top of the website saying, “Our thoughts are with our friends at Front Street Baptist Church in their tragic loss. … all the Jubilee team have you in our prayers.” Dionne Stutts, wife of Front Street Baptist senior pastor Tim Stutts, said her husband and another pastor from the church were en route to the wreck. “They had been there and

they were on their way home today,” she said. “We are devastated and just ask for the people to be praying.” Authorities said the chartered bus crossed the median about 2 p.m., clipped the oncoming SUV and slammed into the tractor-trailer, which burst into flames. Several hours after the crash, clouds of smoke still rose from the tractor-trailer and tree branches that lined the highway were charred. The bus was on its side next to the tractor-trailer, lying across two lanes of traffic and extending partially into the median. Debris littered the interstate. The SUV was about 50 yards away from the other vehicles. It was still upright, but the back half had been completely ripped off. The interstate was completely shut down in both directions, and the scene was eerily quiet, despite the presence of many emergency workers. The loudest noise came from helicopters flying overhead.

Shutdown From page 1 raise the debt limit to pay the bills Congress has already incurred.” It added, “The president remains hopeful that common sense will prevail.” The high-level bickering at microphones set up outside the White House reflected the day’s proceedings in the Capitol. The Republican-controlled House approved legislation to reopen the nation’s parks and the National Institutes of Health, even though many Democrats criticized them as part of a piecemeal approach that fell far short of what was needed. The bills face dim prospects in the Senate, and the White House threatened to veto both in the unlikely event they make it to Obama’s desk. “What we’re trying to do is to get the government open as quickly as possible,” said the House majority leader, Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia. “And all that it would take is us realizing we have a lot in agreement.” Earlier, an attempt by Democrats to force shutdownending legislation to the House floor failed on a 227197 vote, with all Republicans in opposition. That left intact the tea party-driven strategy of demanding changes to the nation’s health care overhaul as the price for essential federal financing, despite grumbling from Republican moderates. The stock market ended lower as Wall Street CEOs, Europe’s central banker and traders pressed for a solution before serious damage is done to the economy. Chief executives from the nation’s biggest financial firms met Obama for more than an hour Wednesday, some of them plainly frustrated with the tactics at play in Congress and with the poten-

tial showdown coming over the debt limit. “You can re-litigate these policy issues in a political forum, but we shouldn’t use threats of causing the U.S. to fail on its obligations to repay its debt as a cudgel,” Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs, said after the meeting. Democrats were scathing in their criticism. “The American people would get better government out of Monkey Island at the local zoo than we’re giving them today,” said Rep. John Dingell of Michigan. The Republican National Committee announced it would pay for personnel needed to reopen the World War II Memorial, a draw for aging veterans from around the country that is among the sites shuttered. In a statement, party chairman Reince Priebus challenged Democrats “to join with us in keeping this memorial open.” Democrats labeled that a stunt. “We’ve already been working on a plan to open the

Memorial — and the entire government — after the GOP caused them to close,” said party spokesman Mo Elleithee. “It’s called a clean” spending bill. As it turned out, more than 125 World War II veterans from Mississippi and Iowa who were initially kept out of the memorial Tuesday were escorted to the site with the help of members of Congress. Officials made further arrangements to allow veterans groups into the memorial during the shutdown. A sampling of federal agencies showed how unevenly the shutdown was felt across the government. The Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Housing and Urban Development listed only six percent of their employees as essential, and therefore permitted to work during the impasse. James R. Clapper, director of national intelligence, said about 70 percent of civilian employees in agencies under his control had been sent home.

This 2010 image released by G.P. Putnam Sons shows author Tom Clancy in Huntingtown, Md. Clancy, the bestselling author of “The Hunt for Red October” and other wildly successful technological thrillers, has died. He was 66. Penguin Group (USA) said Wednesday that Clancy died Tuesday in Baltimore. The publisher did not disclose a cause of death.

‘Red October’ novelist Tom Clancy dies Hillel Italie

AP National Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — In 1985, a year after the Cold War thriller “The Hunt for Red October” came out, author Tom Clancy was invited to lunch at the Reagan White House, where he was questioned by Navy Secretary John Lehman. Who, the secretary wanted to know, gave Clancy access to all that secret material? Clancy, the best-selling novelist who died Tuesday in Baltimore at 66, insisted then, and after, that his information was strictly unclassified: books, interviews and papers that were easily obtained. Also, two submarine officers reviewed the final manuscript. Government officials may have worried how Clancy knew that a Russian submarine spent only about 15 percent of its time at sea or how many SS-N-20 Seahawk missiles it carried. But his extreme attention to technical detail and accuracy earned him respect inside the intelligence community and beyond and helped make Clancy the most widely read and influential military novelist of his time, one who seemed to capture a shift in the country’s mood away from the CIA misdeeds that were exposed in the 1970s to the heroic feats of Clancy’s most famous creation, CIA analyst Jack Ryan. A number of his high-tech, geopolitical thrillers, including “The Hunt for Red October,” ”Patriot Games” and “Clear and Present Danger,” were made into blockbuster movies, with another, “Jack Ryan,” set for release on Christmas. “Fundamentally, I think of myself as a storyteller, not a writer,” Clancy once said. “I think about the characters I’ve created, and then I sit down and start typing and see what they will do. There’s a lot of subconscious thought that goes on. It amazes me to find out, a few chapters later, why I put someone in a certain place when I did. It’s spooky.” A tall, trim figure given to wearing sunglasses that made him look like a fighter pilot, Clancy had such a sure grasp of defense technology and spycraft that many readers were convinced he served in the military. But his experience was limited to ROTC classes in college. Near-sightedness kept him out of active duty. A political conservative who once referred to Ronald Reagan as “my president,” Clancy broke through commercially during a tense period of the Cold War, and with the help of Reagan himself.

to share with each other our experiences and to teach each other how we approach various ministerial opportunities to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Note: while we may help each other accomplish tasks, it is at the invitation of the host and not the imposition of the visitor. And so this past visit lifted up their continuing ministry in a place called Ancieta where they worship in a private home’s garage and from which they are reaching out to a community that, because of industrial development, will double in size the next couple of years. They have bought land and will build a church building soon to be there when the people come. They shared with us their concern for the youth of Brazil, in particular in the larger cities where gangs, and drugs, and addictions, and poor decisions and violence all

too often end in death, or at least significant health care and in some cases criminal issues (sound familiar — gee, we have those problems, too). In their sharing, they were also seeking our advice as to how we have approached these subjects as a congregation and as a community. This partnership will certainly continue. Already, very preliminary plans are being made to visit Brazil again. And in the meantime, we are working to connect a couple of the Anna Elementary classes with some classes in Brazil through Skype and a translator for some cultural exchange. We are also working toward hosting an exchange student via one of our other local congregations who is active in the companionship program (St. Paul Lutheran, Botkins). And, of course, we are in continu-

ous contact with our friends in Brazil — lifting each other up in prayer and discovering new ways in which God’s Good News is being proclaimed all over the world. And this little task that I said yes to several years ago has indeed helped our congregation realize that there are other people who are different than we are, who speak a different language, who have a different culture, who view the world in a different way but who also believe that God is working new things in Jesus Christ. It has opened our eyes to the limitless possibilities of God’s love to the whole world. And it has opened our hearts and minds to reaching far beyond our walls in Anna to play a significant part in world-wide witness to Jesus. The writer is the pastor of St. Jacob Lutheran Church in Anna.

candlelight vigil Tuesday night at Buena Vista High School’s football field. The sheriff’s department identified the dead as Dwayne Johnson, 46, and Dawna Johnson, 45, Gracie’s parents; and her 18-yearold sister, Kiowa-Rain Johnson. The other victims were identified as Baigen (BAY’-gun) Walker, 10, and Paris Walkup, 22, both of Birch Tree, Mo. They were nephews of Dwayne and Dawna Johnson. All five bodies were recovered Tuesday afternoon and identified by a family member, Sheriff Pete Palmer said. Palmer said the coroner will make the final, formal identification. A memorial service for the Johnsons was set for Saturday at the high school gym, to be followed by a community meal; separate services were being organized for the nephews in Missouri. Buena Vista’s Cornerstone Church also set up a fund for the family. Carr said the Johnsons loved the Agnes Vaille trail and the view of the falls in Chalk Creek Canyon, and frequently brought visiting guests to see the falls.

This 2012 photo provided by the Johnson family shows Dawna Johnson, 45, (third left) and Dwayne Johnson, 46, (right) with their children, from left, KiowaRain Johnson, 18, Gracie Johnson, 13, and Dakota Johnson, in front of Mount Princeton in Colorado. Dwayne, Dawna and Kiowa-Rain Johnson were killed in Monday’s, rockslide near Buena Vista, Colo. Gracie Johnson was rescued from the rubble and hospitalized in Denver. Also killed were Baigen Walker, 10, and Paris Walkup, 22, both of Birch Tree, Mo. They were nephews of Dwayne and Dawna Johnson.

Dad who saved girl in deadly rock slide remembered

Associated Press

BUENA VISTA, Colo. (AP) — Friends preparing to bury five relatives who died in a Colorado rock slide are remembering the father credited for saving his daughter’s life as a selfless volunteer who probably didn’t flinch to jump in front of cascading boulders to protect his daughter. Thirteen-year- old Gracie Johnson says her father, Dwayne Johnson, covered her when a rock slide crashed down on the family on a popular hiking route to see a waterfall with visiting cousins. The action, according to local law enforcement, made the teen girl the only survivor in the group after Monday’s slide. Gracie’s parents and sister from nearby Buena Vista were killed, as were two of her cousins from Missouri. Family friend Mike Carr of Buena Vista said Dwayne Johnson was quick to help others. “Probably his only regret is that he didn’t jump in front of his whole family. He’s just that type of guy,” said Carr, who joined others at a

For many U.S. Jews, religion not tied to belief AP Religion Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — A new survey of U.S. Jews has confirmed some of the community’s worst fears: One in five American Jews say they have no religion, and their ranks appear to be growing. Jews in this category feel pride in being Jewish and a strong sense of belonging to the greater Jewish community. But they say their connection is based mostly on culture and ancestry,

not necessarily on belief in God or observance of religious law. A large majority said remembering the Holocaust, being ethical and advocating for social justice formed the core of their Jewish identity. The report, released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center’s Religion & Public Life Project, is an in-depth look at how American Jewish identity has changed in recent decades. The findings track closely with a 2012 Pew

BARKER INSURANCE 492-1857 9040 N. CO. RD. 25A SIDNEY

report that found about 20 percent of Americans in general said they had no religious affiliation, an increase from 15 percent in the last five years. Secularism has long been part of American Jewish life, which includes movements such as the Society for Humanistic Judaism founded in Detroit in the 1960s. However, the Pew survey found the percentage of American Jews who say they are atheist, agnostic or have no particular religion

is highest among younger generations. About one-third of Jews born after 1980 say they have no religion, compared to just 7 percent for those born before 1927. And the report found evidence that the numbers of Jews with no religion could continue to rise. Among Jews married after 2000, nearly six in 10 chose a non-Jewish spouse, making them less likely to raise their children Jewish or join Jewish organizations.

The report contains no definitive finding on the overall size of the American Jewish population. Estimates can vary significantly depending on what definition is used for who can be considered Jewish. Controversy still surrounds the 2000-2001 National Jewish Population Survey, a major study which some academics and others insist undercounted the number of U.S. Jews. In this latest Pew survey, researchers generally

placed American Jews into two categories: those who say their religion is Jewish — dubbed “Jews by religion” — and those who say they are Jewish but say they have no particular religion, called “Jews of no religion.” According to these categories, Pew estimated that the U.S. is home to 6.7 million Jews. The survey’s authors also provided a wide range of higher and lower estimates using broader and narrower definitions of Jewish identity.

Farm opens corn maze The VanDemark Farm has opened its Lost Land Corn maze. The maze design for 2013 showcases Edison State Community College. As Edison celebrates 40 years of service, the idea for the maze was brokered by Robin Valdez, the wife of Edison President Cris Valdez. The design is a direct translation of the college’s home page online at www. edisonohio.edu. The maze is an interesting metaphor for life: many choices to make and always the wonder of what is around the next turn. Just as people find their way through the corn maze, they can find their way through life with the help of an education from Edison and be prepared for what life has hidden around the next corner, organizers said. The farm offers a newly constructed zip-line adventure course, giant swing, driving range and party rental facility. And with a $10 bracelet purchase, participants can enjoy the Lost Land Corn Maze, hayride, petting

them out. The thermostat usually is a bit bigger, so you may need to enlarge the hole to get it out.

Cavaliers celebrate Homecoming Week !!!! Grand S-S

50 stars, 13 bars BY DREW WESTERHEIDE The 2013 Homecoming season is upon us all, and while everyone is asking for dates, trying to figure out what color dress or tie to buy, or where to go to dinner, they all have one thing in common... the dance! This years Homecoming theme, chosen by the senior class, is “America” or more commonly known around the school as “’Merica”. The other theme finalists were “Red Carpet” and “Candyland” but America came out on top like it usually does in every other situation. The idea of the theme was sparked by senior Madeline Franklin. Members of Sister Ginny Scherer’s homeroom decided that it was an opportunity to show how patriotic we can be. “I thought of the theme because it was very trendy and I am very patriotic,” said Franklin. The dance, which will take place on October 5 in the Harriet Frantz Gymnasium, will show off the patriotic spirit of the Lehman student body “It will reflect the attitude of the class and express their patriotism,” said Sister Scherer. The banners made by the classes are sure to be very creative and everyone seems to be getting into the spirit of the theme and seeing which class can be most patriotic. All in all, everyone will have one thing on which we can all agree: that we absolutely love the good ol’ U. S. of A.

BY EMILY HOERSTEN This year’s homecoming Grand Marshal greatly deserves the position. After putting in 36 years at Lehman, Mrs. Schweller-Snyder has certainly dedicated enough time to Lehman students to finally receive the title. The Grand Marshal is picked each year by the senior class. He or she is always someone who has lots of Lehman pride and puts much time and effort into the school. The Grand Marshal has the honor of announcing the Homecoming king and queen at this Friday’s football game. She will also ride in the parade around the track with the members of the Homecoming Court, band, cheerleaders, and class banners. Mrs. Schweller-Snyder teaches Band, Show Choir, Cavalier Choir, and Journalism at Lehman. She also teaches band at Holy Angels to grades 5-8. She lives in Sidney with her husband, Chip Snyder. This homecoming game will be much different for Schweller-Snyder. Usually she is directing the band in the parade and taking pictures for the yearbook. She should be able to just sit back and enjoy the festivities and let others do the work for her. “I am very grateful to the seniors for the honor,” she said. “It is very exciting but on a personal note, it is bittersweet too. Every year my mother, who loved all things high-school, hoped I would be chosen Grand Marshal. She would have been so happy, but since she passed away last spring, she will have to watch the parade from Heaven.” Come out and join the school for the Homecoming football game on October 4. With the crowning of the king and queen, Mrs. Schweller-Snyder as Grand Marshal, and the Cavs playing Dayton Jefferson for a big victory, it will be a great night!

Future Lehman royalty?

BY: LAUREN VANDERHORST Every year the senior class votes on which seniors will be members of that year’s Homecoming court. This year, 14 seniors were chosen, seven boys and seven girls, each of them among the most friendly, involved, and kind people at Lehman. This year’s homecoming court is comprised of Makenna Cabe, Millie Cartwright, Jordi Emrick, Grace Frantz, Sarah Gravunder, Julia Harrelson, and Grace Jackson for queen; and Gabe Berning, Erik Collier, Rob Heckman, John Husa, Kevin McElroy, Brad Montgomery, and James Rego for king. When they announce who is on Homecoming Court, it can mean emotions going from excitement to joy and everything in between for the new court members. For Gravunder, it was a moment of total shock. “I was in AP Calculus and I had only gotten four and a half hours of sleep the night before,” said Gravunder. “I heard my name and I was so surprised. I wasn’t expecting it at all.” Since they are chosen by their peers, being on court is a huge honor for the court members, showing them how positively other class members feel about them. “The most exciting thing for me is the fact that my friends and fellow class mates elected me to be on the court, which is an honor that I appreciate very much,” said Berning. When seniors are chosen to be on Homecoming Court, they not only get into the dance for free but they also get to be part of the parade before the game. “The thing I am most excited for is that we get to ride around the track in golf carts in front of the crowd,” said Heckman . The Homecoming king and queen will be voted on by the whole school during Homecoming week. This year’s Homecoming Court, like the courts in years past, is full of amazing candidates who are very well This year’s Crier Staff: John Husa, Lauren Vanderhorst, Thomas Covault, Drew Westerheide (seated), Emily Hoersten, rounded, and some of the friendliest people at Lehman. Every member of the court would be a great king or Emma Simpson, Brooke Jones, Madilyn Brown. queen, making the voting decision even more difficult. Best of luck to each person on this year’s Homecom(missing from photo: Grace Frantz) ing Court!

haunted by the number. It is a heart pounding suspense movie. Viewers will follow the main character into a world of insanity trying to discover the meaning behind the number 23. Science: Dante’s Peak is a movie that revolves around Earth Science as a geologist is sent into a small town with a team of colleagues to study a dormant volcano. As the team uncovers more about the volcano, the more they realize how much the town is in danger. Contagion revolves around Biology sciences. The world attacked by and epidemic of a incredibly deadly sickness that is killing of tens of thousands, while the CDC struggles to unravel the disease and develop a vaccine before it’s too late. History: History of the World Part I is a classic comedy from the works of Mel Brooks that tells the history of the early world from the Stone Age to Ancient Rome and everything in between. While it focuses more on making the viewer laugh than presenting factual information, it is a great title for history lovers everywhere.

HAPPENINGS AT THE HIVE

If you are looking for that movie that can relate to your favorite subject, here are a few enjoyable titles to start off with: English: V for Vendetta. This movie takes place in the near future as an oppressive government takes power in Great Britain. The main character, V, a masked vigilante is trying to inspire the people of London to stand up to their government, is an intelligent, educated man who uses the power of words and symbols for the people’s inspiration. Literary elements such as repetition, syntax, and tone are often found in his wise words. Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. This movie takes place in a town where the Baudelaire children, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny, have just lost their parents to a mysterious fire that took their home. This forces them to have to move in with their closest relative, Count Olaf. Soon after realizing Olaf’s cruel intentions with the children, they are moved from relative to relative to avoid the Count. The film is packed full with colorful diction and tone, characters with paradoxical personalities, and everywhere throughout the story there are symbols that guide the viewer to the final conclusion of the Baudelaire children. Math: Cube takes place inside a terrible invention. An enormous cube containing 17,576 consistently moving rooms riddled with deadly traps is about to be investigated by the strangers thrown inside. The cube is on a 3-D axis (x,y, and z) and the participants have to discover how to plot where they are in the cube and how to escape it. The Number 23 is about a local dogcatcher who is introduced to a book titled The Number 23. The main character in the book is a detective and very identical to the dogcatcher, and both begin to be

The other varsity prospect is Jim O’Leary, a former Holy Angels courtster, who stands a very good chance of making the top five during the forthcoming season. Jim is strong, stands around 6-2 and should make an excellent guard. And we also know that Jim is tough in Ping Pong, probably one of the best in the city with his reversed-English shots.

Quote of the Day “Having good seasons and winning in the regular season’s all fine and dandy but you play to win championships and we haven’t been able to get it done. We have to figure out a way to do a better job.” —— Jay Bruce of the Reds, after another early exit from postseason play Tuesday

On this date in 1951 — Bobby Thomson hits a three-run homer off Ralph Branca of the Brooklyn Dodgers with one out in the bottom of the ninth to give the New York Giants a dramatic 5-4 playoff victory and the National League pennant. 1971 — Billie Jean King wins the Virginia Slims-Thunderbird tournament in Phoenix to become the first women tennis player to win $100,000 in one year. 1973 — The formation of the World Football League is announced. 1974 — Frank Robinson signs a $175,000-a-year player-manager contract with the Cleveland Indians, making him the first black manager in major league history.

Loramie’s Knouff qualifies for state MIAMISBURG — The Fort Loramie girls lost out by a single stroke of qualifying as a team for the Division II State Golf Tournament Wednesday. However, one of the Lady Redskins, freshman Emily Knouff, was one of the top three finishers not on a qualifying team, meaning she will play in the state tournament next Friday and Saturday at the Ohio State University Gray Course in Columbus. The Lady Redskins were trying to earn a berth in the state tournament after an excellent regular season, but when all the scorecards were counted at the district tournament at Pipestone in Miamisburg, they finished with a 359, one shot behind third-place Versailles at 358. And only the top three teams qualify for next week’s tournament.

Knouff tied for second low gross in the 18-hole tournament with a 73 with two other girls, but one of them played for Tipp City, which qualified as a team. Chaminade won the tournament with a 342, Tipp City was second with a 347, and Versailles took third with a 358. Brooke Wehrkamp and Elizabeth White both shot 84 for the Lady Tigers, and Hanna Niekamp, Emily Harman and Madison Covault all shot 95. After Knouff’s 73 came an 83 from Ashley Ordean. Kristin Barhorst shot 100, Hope Ruhenkamp 103 and Morgan Siegel 111. The low score of the tournament was a 69 by Sarah Kolodzik of Miami Valley School.

Reds stayed pat, and paid for it CINCINNATI (AP) — The Reds kept their lineup virtually intact in the offseason, convinced it was ready for a push deep into the playoffs. They didn’t add anything at midseason, thinking they were still fine. They paid for those decisions in another playoff flameout. A 6-2 loss at Pittsburgh in the wild-card game on Tuesday night marked the third straight quick exit from the playoffs for a team that’s learned how to win 90 games during the regular season but can’t translate that success to the playoffs. “I think everyone has to hold themselves responsible and figure out a way to take the next step because we changed the culture around here,” outfielder Jay Bruce said. “We’re a winning club now. I’m proud of our season in that aspect. “But we need to take the next step,” he added. “We need to find a way to do that.” This one ended so much like those others. The Reds won 91 games and reached the playoffs in 2010 as NL Central champions, breaking the franchise’s 15-year playoff drought. They got swept by the Phillies, but considered it a first step for a young team. Last year, they won 97 games and the first two playoff games in San Francisco before returning home and getting swept away. This year, they won 91 games and a wild card berth, but dropped their last six games overall, including the one-game playoff at PNC Park. Good seasons, ugly endings. “In our eyes coming into spring training, we wanted to build off what happened last year and we didn’t do that,” shortstop Zack Cozart said. “We made the postseason but this isn’t what we wanted.” The biggest problem down the stretch was an inconsistent offense that went through one of its periodic downturns at a very bad time. The Reds scored only 2, 0, 1, 3, 2 and 2 runs in those last six losses. The starting pitching, which had been the team’s strength all season, also came apart. The Pirates clinched home-field advantage for the wild card playoff by sweeping three games over the weekend in Cincinnati, hitting six homers in one game. They kept it going at PNC Park on Tuesday night, hitting three more. Those last four games were telling.

Cincinnati Reds’ Joey Votto leans over the rail in the dugout as his team is losing to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the ninth inning of the NL wild-card playoff baseball game on Tuesday in Pittsburgh. The Pirates won 6-2.

The Reds didn’t make any upgrades in July, deciding a right-handed hitter was too pricey. By contrast, the Pirates added outfielders Marlon Byrd and Justin Morneau to fill holes in the lineup. Byrd had six hits including a homer during the first two games in Cincinnati over the weekend, and homered again on Tuesday night. “Marlon Byrd proved a fantastic addition,” first baseman Joey Votto said. “Kudos to the front office for coming up with that trade because he beat us up pretty good.” The Reds’ only significant change after last season was getting center fielder Shin-Soo Choo from Cleveland. The deal worked well — Choo led the majors in on-base percentage by a leadoff hitter. He got a one-year, $7,373,000 deal to avoid arbitration and will be a free agent. The Reds kept the rest of their starting lineup intact and got less than they needed. The quickest playoff exit yet showed the Reds that they’ve got to change. “It’s very difficult because it’s like — I don’t know, unbelievable actually,” manager Dusty Baker said after the game.

“Our club has been through a lot of things on and off the field. Our club has stuck together. We realize I guess now we still got some more work to go. We’ve got some improvements to make.” They’ve got to figure out what to do in the leadoff spot with Choo a free agent. Billy Hamilton made a September splash with his speed, but struggled to hit at Triple-A. The cleanup spot also is a big question. Ryan Ludwick tore cartilage in his right shoulder, returned in mid-August and batted only .240 with two homers and 12 RBIs. His fill-ins struggled. Votto was an enigma. The Reds’ highestpaid player led the NL in walks for the third straight year, but most of his numbers were down significantly. He played all 162 games and batted .305 — his second-lowest career total. His .491 slugging percentage was a career low, and his 30 doubles were a career low for a full season. His 73 RBIs were his fifth-lowest total. “Offensively, never really got it going this year,” the 2010 National League MVP said.

2-3 Trojans invade Friday Ken Barhorst

It was a night to work on things, a glorified practice in front of paying fans. Sidney’s 69-0 win over Dayton Belmont last week put the Jackets at the same place they were last year at this time — 3-2. Now it’s time to take the next step, says head coach Adam Doenges. “This is when you start putting things together,” he said. “Last year, we finished 1-4 in our division. We have better goals than that this year. There’s no better way to go to

the (Homecoming) dance than being 1-0 in the division and 4-2 overall.” The competition amps up considerably this week, even though the Troy team that comes to Sidney Memorial Stadium Friday is just 2-3 on the season. The Trojans have lost to Chaminade, Springfield Shawnee and Miamisburg, and all of them were close. They lost to Chaminade by 14, to Shawnee by three and to Miamisburg by nine last week. The two wins came over Xenia and Springfield. The Trojans are ground-ori-

He has 517 so far. “He’s committed to play at Kent State,” said Doenges. “They will give him the ball 40 times a game if they have to. And they have a right tackle who is verbally committed to Oklahoma (6-4, 285-pound Alex Daulton). I told the kids, that’s why you play for Sidney, to get to play in the GWOC and play against kids good enough to play at the Division I level. A lot of college coaches

are going to see our game films from here on out.” The Trojans haven’t thrown the ball well so far, however, their quarterback hitting just 27-for-66 (41 percent) for 262 yards and two touchdowns. “Teams are stacking the box against them, and trying to force them to throw,” said Doenges. “I thought we did a good job at that last year, but they were able to hit some passes and open the game up. Hibler is going to get his carries and his yards. The trick is keeping him from breaking the big one.”

Rockets lose area’s top rusher Ken Barhorst

kbarhorst@civitasmedia.com

ANNA — Although the Rockets performed well in his absence last week, not having star running back Christian Williams in the second half against Delphos St. John’s certainly hurt in a 34-27 loss in Midwest Athletic Conference play. And, it turns out, Williams will be lost for quite a while. Head coach Bryan Rioch said Wednesday that Williams suffered a broken foot, and that he had surgery on Tuesday. He may not be lost for the remainder of the season, but Rioch said “the doctor said three or four weeks.” It’s a big loss for the Rockets. Even missing the second half last week, Williams still leads the area in rushing yards so far with 893, averaging 7.1 yards every time he carries. And he’s scored 10 touchdowns. Before

he went out last week, he had already rushed for 79 yards on 11 carries against the Blue Jays. In addition, Rioch said he also lost his fullback, Jordan Jurosic, with some stinger issues, so he’s had to change some things around. But Rioch is not pushing the panic button as he prepares his squad for a trip to Minster Friday night in MAC action. Both teams are 2-3. “To be honest, I’m excited about some of the young kids,” Rioch said. “We have a young kid named John Cain. The kids call him crazy. He has no fear. We’ll put him in at fullback. And Matthew Bruce has done a good job in the backfield. He brings a different dimension. He’s more of a slasher and has a lot more speed than Christian.” Bruce was called on a lot more last week with Williams out, and he responded with 98 yards

Christian Williams

on 16 carries against the Blue Jays. Jurosic is also a starting linebacker, so it’s necessitated some shuffling on the defensive side as well. “Our kids have responded well this week,” said Rioch. “We’re still going to run our offense, but I anticipate more spread and more Wing-T stuff this week.” The Rockets put together a long drive to tie the game up against

Delphos late in the final period last week, but the Blue Jays were able to score with just eight seconds remaining to pull out the win. “They just made one more play than we did,” he said. “They weren’t stopping us and we weren’t stopping them.” The Rockets take on a Minster team that is led by Tennessee signee Ethan Wolf, and his brother Eli. The Wildcats lost to Loramie and Lehman to open the season, won two in a row, then lost last week to Coldwater 35-13. The interesting thing about that game was that Minster totaled 340 yards against the Cavaliers, did not allow them to score in the second half, and two of the Coldwater scores came on punt returns. “Their quarterback is solid and we can’t let the Wolf brothers go off on us,” said Rioch. “Someone else will have to beat us.”

Redskins, Cavs try not to look ahead Ken Barhorst

kabarhorst@civitasmedia.com

Fort Loramie and Lehman will try to maintain their focus this week, and not look ahead to their monumental clash a week from Friday at Fort Loramie. Both teams are 4-1 and both are coming off easy victories in Northwest Central Conference play last week, Lehman by 57-0 over Riverside and Loramie by 63-7 over

Waynesfield. With the rest of the league appearing overmatched, next week’s game will likely decide the league champion. But before that, each has a game to play, and in the case of the defending NWCC champion Redskins, it’s a conference game, Friday on the road against Ridgemont. It’s difficult not to consider the Redskins a heavy favorite in light of a couple of pertinent scores.

Take the Lehman score last week over Riverside, then consider Riverside beat Ridgemont 63-6. “Our focus this week is very similar to last week,” said Fort Loramie head coach Matt Burgbacher. “Our motto is concentrate on our focus. We want to be a better football team focus-wise. When we focus, we’re pretty good. When we lose our focus, we’re not so great. What I was very pleased with last week was the way we went out and did what we had to do. It was a game we knew we should win, but the kids came out with intensity and that focus.” Burgbacher isn’t about to take Ridgemont lightly, in spite of what appears to be a mismatch. “We have the film of that Riverside-Ridgemont game, and it was one of those game where Ridgemont turned the ball over too much,” he said. “I think they turned it over 10 times. The tapes we have of them, they’ve shot themselves in the foot. They’ve got a good game plan. They just haven’t taken care of the ball.” Burgbacher said starting quarterback Tyler Kazmaier is still battling a knee injury and will be out again this week. His replacement, Andy Grewe, didn’t have to throw the ball much last week, but he was on target when he did, finishing 6-for-8 for 180 yards and three touchdowns. “Andy threw the ball great last week, and our receivers did a good job,” said Burgbacher. “It was nice to see our passing game much better last week, and our running game was also good.” The Redskins rushed for 342 yards, with Delaunte Thornton gaining 199 on just 10 carries to bring his season total to 751 yards.

comes to Piqua to take on the Cavs at Alexander Stadium Friday night. The Broncos started off 0-3 but have won their last two, over Franklin Furnace Green and Sciotoville Community. The Cavs were held scoreless by Riverside in the opening period last week before putting up big numbers the rest of the way. “We didn’t play well early, but they did a nice job defending us,” said head coach Dick Roll. “They were trying to keep the ball away from us and they did for a while. But we got going and did all right.” He said Jefferson is much different than any other Bronco team Lehman has faced during Roll’s tenure. “They’ve always run the spread before,” he said. “But for the first time since we’ve been playing them, they’re a running team. They will run a little spread, but they want to run the football, and I think it’s because of the athletes they have, and their linemen, who are pretty good. They’ve always had the talent. They are coached up well, and they’re scary because of the athletes they have.” Roll is confident his high-powered offense can move the ball on the Broncos. Quarterback Nick Rourke has throw for 1,297 yards, and Drew Westerheide has 27 catches far. Both are tops in the area.

... Fan favorite Dale Earn1 SOhardtCLOSE Jr.’s runner-up showing in

Dover was his third such finish of 2013. Two of Earnhardt’s near-misses have come to Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson (Daytona 500, Dover). Earnhardt’s 80 laps led on Sunday were the most since he led 95 laps en route to a win at Michigan in June 2012.

10 For the first time in the 2 PERFECT history of NASCAR’s Chase, a race’s

top-10 finishers were comprised solely of Chase drivers. The three Chasers outside of the top 10 were Kasey Kahne (13th), Kurt Busch (21st) and Carl Edwards (35th). Jamie McMurray was 11th. Fittingly, McMurray is the first driver in the standings on the outside of the playoffs looking in.

22 Joey Logano and Kyle 3 11BuschFORcombined to lead 195 of 200

laps in the Nationwide Series 5-Hour Energy 200 at Dover on Saturday. In the end, it was Logano who scooted past Busch with 59 laps remaining and cruised to a 14.59-second win over Kyle Larson. It was Logano’s third NNS win in 13 starts this season. The crew chief of the the No. 22 Penske Ford, Jeremy Bullins, has engineered 11 wins with four different drivers behind the wheel this year.

IN IN VEGAS Timothy Pe4 CASHING ters took the lead of the Smith’s 350

at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on a restart with three laps remaining and held off Johnny Sauter and Miguel Paludo to secore his second Camping World Truck Series win of the season. The win was his seventh career Truck Series victory. He has at least one win in each of his five full seasons on the Truck circuit.

Dover Domination Jimmie Johnson rolls, collects eighth career Cup win in Dover By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor

“I think Jimmie is probably the most underrated champion we have in this industry. He is by far the most powerful driver over the course of the last 25, 35 years in this sport.” Hendrick Motorsports crew chief Chad Knaus is not known for his use of hyperbole. Knaus is thoughtful, measured and wellspoken when interacting with the media. And the man’s a genius at his trade: making cars go fast. So when the champion crew chief heaps that sort of praise on a driver — even if it’s his own — people have a tendency to stop, look and listen. “He’s able to dig deeper, pull out his cape, make things happen in winning moments of these races that other people cannot do. It’s pretty spectacular,” Knaus continued. His statements, of course, were directed at Jimmie Johnson, with whom Knaus has won 65 races and five NASCAR Sprint Cup titles. They were said following another masterful performance by both driver and crew chief, this at Dover International Speedway, where the No. 48 team laid waste to the field, leading 243-of-400 laps in the AAA 400 en route to its first victory of the 2013 Chase. It was also Johnson’s record eighth career win on Dover’s high banks. Despite the praise and the accomplishment — Johnson surpassed Richard Petty’s and Bobby Allison’s seven Dover wins on Sunday — it was his smooth, workman-like effort that has come to define a driver that will go down as this generation’s best in NASCAR. “You’ve got to win when you’re at your best track,” Johnson said matter-of-factly. “That being said, we had to win here today. I think any points (gained) on the 18 (Kyle Busch) or the 20 (Matt Kenseth) would have been a very good day, (but) max points? It’s an awesome day.” In order to score the win, Johnson had to outrun teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the event’s closing laps. A caution flag 29 laps from the race’s conclusion brought the field to pit road. There, Knaus made the call to change two tires while many of the leaders — including Earnhardt — bolted on four. The quick work in the pits found Johnson lined up first, with the preferred outside groove, alongside Earnhardt. When the race resumed

Classic Moments

Jimmie Johnson celebrates his fifth win of the NASCAR Sprint Cup season following Sunday’s (Photo by ASP, Inc.) AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway.

with 25 laps to go, Johnson eased out into the lead and never faltered, leading the rest of the way to score a .446-second victory. “I felt like as we got (into) traffic, Jimmie was starting to struggle a little bit in the last couple of laps,” Earnhardt said. “My car actually got better the longer I ran and drove better. It wasn’t quite clicking just yet, (but) our car was starting to come around. “I think the difference in the tires between our two cars was about to show. But the race is 400 laps.” Johnson’s quest for a sixth title was bolstered by the win, as he leapt over Kyle Busch for second in the championship standings and gained six points on leader Matt Kenseth. Johnson sits eight points behind Kenseth; Busch is 12 back. Kenseth, who has found success at Dover in the past, finished seventh after winning the first two Chase races. Busch was fifth, his third top5 showing in NASCAR’s playoff. “Overall, for how bad I felt like we struggled with the car, that was a decent finish,” Kenseth said. “(But) when you look up, it’s everybody that finished in front of you. (They are) all the cars that you’re racing for points.

■ While Martin Truex Jr.’s future with

Michael Waltrip Racing remains unclear, the team still hopes to field three cars in 2014. Following the controversial events at Richmond, longtime sponsor NAPA Auto Parts announced it will not return to MWR leaving both team and driver in facing an uncertain future. Team co-owner Rob Kauffman has stated that his collector and performance car company, RK Motors, could “fill the gap” on a third car next season, but that MWR would need to find sufficient funding to fill the majority of the schedule. Truex said last weekend that he had nothing new to report on his 2014 plans. Team co-owner Michael Waltrip said he would give Truex his blessing should he find employment elsewhere, but has asked the driver for time to put sponsorship together for the No. 56 team.

Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Matt Kenseth is looking to make it three in a row at Kansas Speedway. He’ll be the favorite rolling in. Pretty Solid Pick: And then there’s Jimmie Johnson, with his two Kansas wins and 12 top 10s in 14 starts. Not too shabby. Good Sleeper Pick: Jamie McMurray hasn’t been great here, but he recorded a seventh at Kansas in April and has been racy of late. Runs on Seven Cylinders: Surprisingly, Kyle Busch, who averages a 22.4-place finish in Kansas and has runs of 31st and 38th in the last two visits. Insider Tip: Three of the next five events are on NASCAR’s “cookie cutter” ovals. This race could set a trend.

“I feel like this is one of our best racetracks and you want to do better than seventh at one of your best tracks. Overall, it was a solid day, but we wished for a little more.” While Busch gained two points on his teammate, Kenseth, the fifth-place run still left him with a hollow feeling. “It’s certainly appealing and you could be happy with it, but we’re a little disappointed at the same time,” he said. “We felt like we wanted to come in here, we wanted to run better — we could run better here. We have before, and we just could never really get the feel that I was looking for the whole weekend.” With Kenseth, Johnson and Busch having separated themselves from the Chase pack, Dover’s race winner is narrowing his focus. “My whole thought process was just how tough this championship’s going to be,” Johnson said. “They’re bringing their best and doing their best. You’ve got to deliver. That was my mindset when I was racing with both of those guys for three-quarters of the race. “We need to win at our best tracks, and we did that.”

Kansas Speedway It is generally pretty well accepted in NASCAR that the first driver to cross the finish line at the checkered flag is the race winner. Except when he isn’t. That’s precisely what happened in the LifeLock 400 at Kansas Speedway in September 2007. With darkness looming and NASCAR being forced to call the race 85 miles shy of its scheduled distance, Kansas native Clint Bowyer crossed the finish line first under caution on what NASCAR had declared the race’s final lap. Yet, the driver who crossed the finish line in third, Roush Fenway Racing’s Greg Biffle, was the one celebrating in Victory Lane. Odd? You better believe it. Controversial? No doubt about it, considering that Biffle had just been passed by Bowyer and Jimmie Johnson moments earlier. But Biffle, whose car sputtered nearly to a halt as it ran out of gas just feet from the checkered flag, was saved by a technicality: NASCAR forbids drivers from passing under yellow — precisely what Bowyer and Johnson did, despite not really having much choice in the matter.

I used to relate it to Kentucky, but the progressive banking makes it unique now — and we’ll see it change a lot as it goes through a couple hard winters and hot summers. It will be more like Homestead, hopefully, where you have a lot of different racing grooves and it will become really racy. I like the track and I like the location. It is a typical mile-and-a-half track, but I like the location. They put the track out there and kind of built a city around it with a casino, a mall and a Cabela’s.” NATIONWIDE SERIES

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Friday, Oct. 4, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today's New Moon is the perfect time to ask yourself what you can do to improve your closest relationships. What kind of friend or partner are you? TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Every month, the New Moon is a chance to make resolutions. Think about what you can do to improve your job as well as your health. (That covers a lot.) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Our focus on work and success often overshadows our need to express our creative energy. Children love to be creative. Adults often dismiss it. Do you take time to be creative? CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a good day to think how you can improve family relationships and also how you can improve where you live. These are important aspects of your life. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) We are social creatures, and communication with others is important. Observe your style of communicating today. Do you really listen? Do you really care? VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Take a few moments today to ask yourself what really matters to you, from your point of view. If you know what matters, you'll know how to spend your time. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today, the only New Moon in your sign all year is taking place, which means this is the perfect time to look in the mirror to see how you can improve your image. Any ideas? SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) It's good to know what your spiritual values are, because these are your guidelines. Give some thought to this today. What helps you make important decisions? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Today's New Moon urges you to study your friends. Do you hang out with quality people? Your friends actually can influence your future. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) How do you want to be perceived by others? Today's New Moon is your chance to think about why you want others to respect you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) What further training or education could you get to improve your job? What further education or travel might enhance your life? Think about this today. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) It's sometimes frustrating when we deal with people and their values are not our values. But that doesn't mean we can dismiss their values. Today's New Moon is the time to ponder this. YOU BORN TODAY You can schmooze anywhere, successfully, because you know how to work a room with your charm, humor and intelligence. You have excellent taste and dignity, which helps you to subtly assume authority. Danger holds some attraction for you, because you like to beat the odds. This year your primary focus will be on relationships -- especially partnerships and close friendships. Birthdate of: Susan Sarandon, actress; Buster Keaton, actor; Rachael Leigh Cook, actress.

sometimes gets imbalanced and doesn’t pull straight up. In your case, the inner thigh muscles might be stronger, pulling your kneecap toward the inside (i.e., your other knee). Diagnosis is important, because if left untreated, it can permanently damage the cartilage under the knee, a condition called osteomalacia. Treatment is with physical therapy, retraining the muscle to lift straight up. A physical exam and possibly an X-ray should sort out these possibilities. Many general doctors are familiar with this syndrome, but a sportsmedicine doctor or orthopedic surgeon would be the expert. Please let me know. For right now, I would recommend going back to just walking. An anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen would be a good idea if you continue to have pain and swelling just with walking. Finally, walking is nearly as good as jogging in terms of overall health, blood pressure, cholesterol and weight control, though I still recommend getting your knee checked out. DR. ROACH WRITES: In August, I answered a ques-

tion about floaters, and said as long as they weren’t affecting vision and that a thorough exam had been done, the treatment might be worse than the disease. Several readers took the time to tell me of their good experiences getting rid of floaters through vitrectomy or with laser treatment. Another wrote to warn me of a rare disease, birdshot retinochoroidopathy, which can present with floaters and might be missed by ophthalmologists not familiar with this condition.

Has no one told her your reason for not inviting her and her family to join you? If not, someone should, because it might motivate her to assert more control over her children. If she takes offense, however, you will be off the hook because SHE will no longer want to socialize with YOU. DEAR ABBY: We have a housecleaner once a month.

Last month, I offered her some grapefruit from our tree and she took six. This month, she helped herself to all of the fruit that was left on the tree! She didn’t ask permission, and she didn’t tell me she had done it. I happened to see her put it into her car. I consider this to be stealing, but my husband does not. Because she took the fruit without permission and without telling me, do you consider it stealing? — “ANITA” IN FLORIDA DEAR “ANITA”: The woman may have assumed you wouldn’t mind if she took the fruit because you had offered it to her the month before. (Did you say she could take only six?) Rather than call this stealing, I would call it a misunderstanding. Clear it up by telling your housecleaner that you want nothing removed from your premises unless you have SPECIFICALLY told her she may have it.

Odds and ends COLUMBUS (AP) — Without money to bring back its rat-control program, the health department for Ohio’s capital city plans to map complaints and spread fliers educating residents about dealing with the rodents. The Columbus Dispatch reports the city’s service line has received over 200 rat complaints involving rental properties this year, almost reaching the total for last year. In August, Columbus also started logging complaints from nonrental properties, with more than a dozen so far. Some people hope Columbus Public Health resurrects a rat-control pilot program conducted a few years ago, but the proposed 2014 budget doesn’t include money for that. Virginia Tomolillo has trapped 22 rats in her yard this year. She blames a neighbor who leaves dog food outdoors, and she says city education efforts might help.

School house to get historic marker Kathy Leese ANNA - The little one room school house that once echoed with the sounds of children and was the centerpiece of a community, will once again be getting a lot of attention on Saturday when it is honored by the Ohio Historical Society. Bill and Bonnie Elsass of Anna have invited the public to join them at the ceremony as the Ohio Historical Society (OHS) places a historic marker at the school house. The marker will give the school the designation of “Wenger One Room School House - Dinsmore District Number 1.” The ceremony honoring the school house’s new status will be held at 10 a.m. and an open house will follow, which will allow local residents to tour the school. The Elsass family will provide refreshments after the ceremony and tour. The family asks that anyone wanting to attend the ceremony please contact them at 394-7169 and leave a message with the number of people attending so that they have enough refreshments. Elsass said that if someone does not get a chance to respond, they are still welcome to attend the event, although

they would appreciate a call. The school is located at 11385 Amsterdam Road, Anna. The event is free to the public. There is parking next to the school. Elsass told the Sidney Daily News, “we submitted….an application to the Ohio Historical Society. They reviewed it. They made a decision it was a historical building.” Elsass said they submitted the text that will appear on the sign that will be placed at the school house and the OHS had to “authenticate everything on the sign.” The State of Ohio will provide the sign for the school house. It took approximately eight months for the approval of the school house as a historical location. On Saturday, an OHS official will be present for the ceremony. “We have a lot of tours go through it (school house),” Elsass said. The school house can be rented for a donation. “The original school house was built on my great great grandfather’s (George Wenger’s) farm.” “My grandmother (Ora Staley) graduated from that school and my dad (Richard Elsass) went through the second grade until they closed it.” The school house

was originally constructed in 1887 and local school children, in addition to other groups, have been taking tours of the building. Anna school children have even held a class in the old school house, re-enacting what classes would have been like at that time. Elsass moved the school house across the road from his farm so that it was closer to his property. He added a basement with a kitchen and bathroooms for anyone wanting to rent it for an event. The school has been refur-

bished to look the way it did in the 1800’s, so that students today can see what school was like for children back in the 1800’s. Anna students who have visited the school house have been able to see the blackboards, the old desks, the curriculum at that time and they learned about discipline back then. Corporal punishment with a paddle was the option for students who got in trouble at that time. It was not only allowed, but expected by the parents. Students of the 1800’s began their day by sing-

ing “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” The students would bring their lunch to school with them in the 1800’s and they used outhouses. There were wood stoves to keep them warm in the winter and they had ink wells and quill pens. In an article in the Sidney Daily News about the school house in 2012, Anna teacher John Bruce said textbooks “seemed to have an extended vocabulary compared to today.” Bruce said, “God had not been removed from the schools, so the Bible was read in school, hymns were sung and the morality that was emphasized hinged on the Ten Commandments.” There were also rules for teachers at that time. In a book called “Rules for Teachers,” the teachers could be removed if they were visiting pool halls or had been shaved in a barber shop. It is an experience local students seemed to enjoy as they sat in the desks and learned about a time, lessons and living a lifestyle that have faded from today’s classrooms and much of society. On Saturday, it will be an experience that local residents can share.

DR. WALLACE: My best friend is upset with one of her teachers because she feels that he doesn’t like her, and therefore he is not giving her the grade she thinks she earned. She talked to him, but the teacher got mad at her for thinking that he was unfair. Now my friend is thinking about telling the principal that this teacher “propositioned” her, even though he didn’t. I was shocked when she told me this. I told her that she would be making a huge mistake if she fol-
