WASHINGTON (AP) — Three days into a government shutdown, President Barack Obama pointedly blamed House Speaker John Boehner on Thursday for keeping federal agencies closed, while the bitter budget dispute moved closer to a more critical showdown over the nation’s line of credit. The Treasury warned of calamitous results if Congress fails to raise the debt limit.

Answering Obama, Boehner complained that the president was “steamrolling ahead� with the implementation of the nation’s new health care law. As the government operated sporadically, the stock market sank to its lowest level in nearly a month. The shutdown was clearly leaving its mark. The National Transportation Safety Board wasn’t sending investigators to Tennessee to probe a deadly church bus crash that killed eight people and sent 14 oth-

ers to the hospital. The Labor Department said it wouldn’t release the highly anticipated September jobs report on Friday because the government remains shuttered. Outside the Capitol, shots rang out at midafternoon bringing an already tense Congress under lockdown, a nervewracking moment in a city still recovering from a Sept. 16 mass shooting at the Navy Yard. Authorities and witnesses said a woman tried to ram her car through a White House

barricade then led police on a chase that ended in gunfire and her death outside the Capitol more than 1 mile away. Despite the heated political rhetoric, some signs of a possible way out of the shutdown emerged. But the state of play remained in flux. Two House Republicans said Boehner told them he would allow a House vote on restarting the entire government — but only if conservative GOP See BUDGET | 3

If you haven’t watched a football game by this time in the season, you may not enjoy football. On the other hand, if you have, you might have noticed a man on the field wearing a white hat. To coordinate with his white hat, he’s also wearing black and white striped shirt, black pants and shoes. There are others dressed in similar fashion, but their hats are black. There is only one wearing the white hat — and he’s called the referee. The referee is the head official, in charge of all the others. In Sidney, there’s one man who’s been wearing the white hat for at least 20 years and who has officiated at all levels of college football. Beginning while at Holy Cross College in Worcester, Mass., Stan Evans discovered an avocation that would last a lifetime. By scheduling classes for early in the day, he could have afternoons free to officiate sports. The hours were convenient, with 29>9 :<9@3./.

AG’s office ready to enforce internet cafe law COLUMBUS — Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced Thursday his office will begin enforcement efforts for Ohio’s new internet sweepstakes cafe regulations. The new law is expected to become effective after referendum efforts were discontinued Thursday. “Internet sweepstakes cafes

have long had operations that raised suspicions of illegal gambling,� said DeWine. “Ohio now has a law which makes clear which activities are legal and illegal in these cafes, and we will not hesitate to enforce the law.� House Bill 7 gives the Attorney General’s Office regulatory authority over sweep-

stakes terminal devices used by internet sweepstakes cafes. Cafes are required to obtain a certificate of registration from the Attorney General’s Office and file monthly reports. The Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) also now will have explicit authority to investigate gam-

bling law violations alleged to occur at internet sweepstakes cafes. The Attorney General’s Office will be sending letters to each of the internet sweepstakes cafes who previously filed affidavits of existence See LAW | 3

investigators and attorneys, and special prosecutors. “House Bill 7 certainly offers clearer guidelines for legal sweepstakes than what previously existed in Ohio law,” DeWine said. “Sweepstakes operators need to conduct their business in accordance with the law. We will be watching.” The Committee to Protect Ohio Jobs said its petition-gathering firm was unable to collect the roughly 71,000 additional valid signatures needed by Thursday’s deadline to put the repeal on the November 2014 ballot. The group technically had until midnight to hand in the names to Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted after falling significantly short of the mark last month. The committee said in a statement that it was the first to operate under Ohio’s new, more stringent signature gathering rules — and that the restrictions hampered its effort. It said the experience made a pending constitutional challenge to the new rules by the conservative 1851 Center for Constitutional Law appear justified. “Simply put, never before has it been so difficult for Ohio citizens to place an issue on the ballot,” the group said. The committee was still explor-

ing the idea of challenging the law in court. Backers of the measure — including top state law enforcement officials — say the parlors harbor illegal gambling. They have cautioned that no single law enforcement agency has authority to investigate or pursue criminal charges statewide for any illegal activity at the cafes, which they argue leaves the industry open to money laundering and other crimes. Foes of the crackdown say the law went too far in limiting activity at the parlors, many of which they describe as mom-and-pop operations that provide jobs in local communities. Ohioans Against Illegal Gambling, a casino-backed committee fighting the repeal, said Ohioans didn’t sign the petitions because they don’t support Internet cafes in the state. “House Bill 7 is a well-reasoned bi-partisan measure that gives law enforcement officials strong tools to fight illegal gambling and other serious criminal activity occurring at many Internet cafés,” spokesman Carlo LoParo said in a statement. “The push by cafe owners to halt this important law came up short because Ohioans refused to aid and abet a known criminal enterprise.”

pursuant to Senate Bill 115’s moratorium on new cafes. The letter will outline the changes to law enacted by House Bill 7, including a $10 limit on the value of prizes. The new law also prohibits prizes in the form of cash, gift cards, lottery tickets, bingo, instant bingo, alcohol, tobacco, firearms, or vouchers for any such items. There is one internet cafe in Sidney — Sweepstakes Cafe, which is located at 1524 Michigan St. The new law also draws a distinction between the casino-style games played at internet sweepstakes cafes and traditional promotional sweepstakes offered by retailers. Retailers who offer promotional sweepstakes via a terminal device will have certain restrictions and registration to ensure compliance with Ohio law. The Attorney General’s Office will also be sending letters to all 88 county prosecutors letting them know of the known cafes in their county.

the added benefit of being able to participate in sports he had enjoyed as a student at Ursuline High School in Youngstown. By the time he’d graduated from Holy Cross with an AB in economics, and the University of Toledo with an MBA and JD, Evans had also graduated from afternoon sports to college football. He’s been refereeing Division I football since the early 1990s. To become a sports official in Ohio you begin with a written test administered by the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA). This test examines your knowledge of the sport and its rules. Then you work with a mentor and during the first two years of certification are not permitted to officiate at varsity games; these are allocated to Class 1 officials. The amount of pay depends on the conference or league and varies from sport to sport. To maintain certification, an official must attend meetings to stay current. For example, the closest football officiating association is the West Central Ohio Football Officials Association (WCOFOA) and its members are required to attend four meetings per year. Another requirement is to stay in good physical

shape. Evans noted he works out at the local YMCA four nights a week and tries to follow a high protein, low carb diet, “and I drink lots of water.” With years of experience, Evans has come to the attention of Federazione Italiana De American Football (FIDAF). By invitation, he has gone to Italy five times since 2008 to work with some of the 150 or so Italian football referees. While there, he works games, conducts clinics and shares their love of American-style football. These are club teams rather than school teams. Kick-off time is usually 9 p.m. after the players have already worked a full day at their jobs. “Sometimes,” Evans said, “I’ve stayed with Italian families and eaten meals with them. They are very welcoming.” He laughed when explaining that after a hard-fought game between two rival teams, the players sit down together to share food and drink. ”Literally, they often play (and I officiate) for pizza.” Criticism during a game is not unusual, but Evans, a Sidney lawyer, takes it in stride. “Sometimes I’m smiling on the inside while trying to maintain the (expected) stern look on the outside. You know,

it (officiating) is really similar to the law. In the law you read statutes every day, try to interpret them, and judgments have to be made now. In football, you don’t have the luxury of lots of time to consider. Was that a violation? You just do your best to make the correct call.” In addressing the socalled “targeting” rule, Evans explained “the rule itself is the same but the penalty has been changed. I think coaches are okay with it. While they may still dispute a specific call, they all are concerned about players’ safety.” Regarding instant replays, he unhesitatingly said that he likes it. “If a mistake has been made by any one of us, if there is an error, it can be corrected without affecting the outcome of the game,” he noted. In addition to wearing the white hat as “the decider,” Evans is also an “assigner.” “Every school in the Shelby County Athletic League submits a calendar of scheduled games,” he explained. “Then I contact registered officials and contract them to work specific games. I do girls and boys varsity and JV basketball and also volleyball.” He has binders with a page for each official by name. He records which games they are sched-

uled to work. His aim is to use each individual only once at each school in the county. He displayed six yellow legal pads, one for each category. For example, girls JV basketball, varsity volleyball, etc. On these he records each game and who the contracted refs are. Officials for all the 2013 games have been scheduled; likewise 2014 volleyball. He’s still working on 2014 basketball. Because of Shelby County’s reputation for sports, he has had officials willing to come from as far north as Toledo, Cincinnati to the south, and from Athens in southeastern Ohio. “I would encourage anyone who’s interested in sports but can’t play to consider officiating as a way to stay close to the game,” he advised. “The first step is to contact the OHSAA website. There are shortages in some sports; for example, volleyball. The website will explain how to begin.” Evans’ enthusiasm for what he does is infectious and in discussing his role it is apparent he has great love of the various sports for which he officiates. Evans and his wife Barb have two sons and live in Sidney.

Budget From page 1 lawmakers assured him they would not attack it for failing to contain curbs on the health care law. So far they have been unwilling to give that commitment. The two spoke on condition of anonymity to reveal details of private discussions. The shutdown and the approaching debt ceiling were merging into one confrontation, raising the stakes for the president and Congress as well as for the economy. Obama and his Treasury Department said that failure to raise the nation’s borrowing limit, expected to hit its $16.7 trillion cap in mid-October, could precipitate an economic nosedive worse than the Great Recession. A default could cause the nation’s credit markets to freeze, the value of the dollar to plummet and U.S. interest rates to skyrocket, according to the Treasury report. Obama catalogued a litany of troubles that could be caused by the failure to raise the debt ceiling, from delayed Social Security and disability checks to worldwide economic repercussions. “If we screw up, everybody gets screwed up,” he said. The speaker’s office reiterated Boehner’s past assertion that he would not let the United States default on its debt. “But if we’re going to raise the debt limit, we need to deal with the drivers of

our debt and deficits,” his spokesman, Michael Steel, said. “That’s why we need a bill with cuts and reforms to get our economy moving again.” Conservatives have insisted that either reopening the government or increasing the debt ceiling must be accompanied by a measure that either delays or defunds the nation’s new health care law. Absent those concessions, Republicans want cuts in spending, savings in major benefit programs and an overhaul of the tax system. Obama, for his part, firmly restated his opposition to a negotiation. “You don’t get to demand some ransom in exchange for keeping the government running,” he said tartly. “You don’t get to demand ransom in exchange for keeping the economy running.” Looking to deflect the Democratic finger-pointing on the shutdown, the Republicancontrolled House pushed a pair of bills through the House on Thursday restoring money to veterans’ programs and to pay National Guard and Reserve members. House leaders also have scheduled a vote on legislation backed by some of the chamber’s top Democrats to give federal workers furloughed in the ongoing partial shut-

down their missed pay when the government reopens. That vote could come as early as Friday or over the weekend. Senate Democrats made clear they will not agree to reopening the government on a piecemeal basis. “You can’t fall for that legislative blackmail or it will get worse and worse and worse,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York. Speaking at a construction company in Washington’s Maryland suburbs Thursday, Obama cast Boehner as a captive of a tight group of conservative Republicans who want to extract concessions in exchange for passing a short-term spending bill that would restart the partially shuttered government. “The only thing preventing people from going back to work and basic research starting back up and farmers and small business owners getting their loans, the only thing that is preventing all that from happening right now, today, in the next five minutes is that Speaker John Boehner won’t even let the bill get a yes or no vote because he doesn’t want to anger the extremists in his party,” Obama said. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., was even more pointed in singling Boehner out. “We can’t perform the most basic functions of government

because he doesn’t have the courage to stand up to that small band of anarchists,” he said. Moderate Republicans have said they think they could provide enough votes to join with minority Democrats and push a bill through the House reopening the government with no restrictions on the health care law. But under pressure from House GOP leaders, they failed to join Democratic efforts on Wednesday aimed at forcing the chamber to consider such legislation. Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., who is close to Boehner, said he doesn’t think the speaker is ready to push any measure that would fail to win the backing of most of his 232 House Republicans. But some Democratic votes eventually will be needed in the 435-seat chamber, Cole said, because some hardcore conservative Republicans are unlikely to vote to end the shutdown or raise the debt ceiling without major concessions from Obama. “You can’t ask those Republicans to just put their political life on the line for nothing,” he said. “They’ve got to be able to go home and say ‘These are the things that I was able to do.’” Even the Senate chaplain got drawn into the rising intensity of the partisan battle, opening Thursday’s session with an unusually pointed prayer.

2 options under review to build Ohio River bridge Bruce Schreiner Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky and Ohio officials are considering two proposals to pay for a new Ohio River bridge in the Cincinnati area and both options include tolls, as the neighboring states try to unsnarl traffic at a site singled out by President Barack Obama as an example of the nation’s aging network of bridges. The project, with an anticipated price tag of about $2.5 billion, would build a new span alongside the Brent Spence Bridge connecting Cincinnati and Covington, Ky. The 50-year-old Brent Spence carries more than 172,000 vehicles daily, more than twice the traffic load it was designed to handle. The Brent Spence would be renovated for continued use as part of the work

and nearly eight miles of highway leading up to the bridge — about five in Kentucky and three in Ohio — would be improved. The two options were submitted to the states by a consulting engineering firm. “It’s a step forward,” Kentucky Transportation Cabinet spokesman Chuck Wolfe said Thursday. “There’s still a lot of work to be done.” Both states are hoping to start construction in 2015. The work is expected to last four or five years. In 2011, Obama visited Cincinnati to highlight the Brent Spence as an example of the need for job-creating infrastructure projects across the country. Transportation leaders in both states will review the proposals in coming weeks before making a recommendation to

the governors of both states. “Both Ohio and Kentucky know we cannot wait another 50 years to address this bottleneck,” Ohio Department of Transportation Director Jerry Wray said. “We appreciate the partners we’ve found in Kentucky and look forward to continuing to move this project forward.” One study found that motorists waste 3.6 million hours of time and 1.6 million gallons of fuel while sitting in traffic on the Brent Spence each year. Kentucky transportation officials intend to include the bridge project in the six-year road plan presented to state lawmakers next year. One option that was presented calls for the states to finance the project through a combination of federal and state funding that would include loans and bonds. Repayment of the

loans and bonds would come from toll revenue. The other proposal calls for a contractor to finance and build the bridge and to be repaid over many years. That option also includes tolls. Kentucky Transportation Secretary Mike Hancock is “open-minded” about the options, Wolfe said. ODOT spokesman Steve Faulkner also was non-committal about the options, and said it was possible that components of each proposal could end up in a final plan. The consultant’s report included two tolling scenarios with base rates of $1 to $2 for cars, $3 to $6 for light trucks and $5 to $10 for heavy trucks. There would be no toll plazas or coin buckets. Instead, the bridge would use tolling gantries that rely on electronic transponders and video cameras.

Commuters could receive electronic transponders, allowing tolls to be paid through automatic debit accounts. Tolls for vehicles without transponders would be 50 percent higher. Those motorists would be billed at the address to which the vehicle is registered as determined by license plate numbers captured by video cameras. Officials anticipate placing tolls on both the new bridge and the renovated Brent Spence, Wolfe said. Kentucky is partnering with Indiana on another costly bridges project over the Ohio River. Work is under way on the $2.6 billion project that will build two new spans — one at downtown Louisville and the other east of the city — and renovate a third bridge.

Cheap razor made after P&G watches Indians shave Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Procter & Gamble executives say it was striking the first time they witnessed a man shave while sitting barefoot on the floor in a tiny hut in India. He had no electricity, no running water and no mirror. The 20 U.S.-based executives observed the man in 2008 during one of 300 visits they made to homes in rural India. The goal? To gain insights they could use to develop a new razor for India. “That, for me, was a big ‘a-ha,’” said Alberto

Carvalho, vice president, global Gillette, a unit of P&G. “I had never seen people shaving like that.” The visits kicked off the 18 months it took to develop Gillette Guard, a low-cost razor designed for India and other emerging markets. Introduced three years ago, Guard quickly gained market share and today represents two out of every three razors sold in India. The story of how Guard came to be illustrates the balance companies must strike when creating products for emerging markets: It’s not as simple as slapping a foreign label on an American product. To successfully sell prod-

ucts overseas, particularly in developing markets, companies must tweak them so they’re relevant to the people who live there. And often, that means rethinking everything from the product’s design to its cost. More companies will have to consider this balancing act as they increasingly move into emerging markets such as India, China and Brazil to offset slower growth in developed regions such as the U.S. For its part, P&G has doubled the percentage of its roughly $20 billion in annual revenue coming from emerging markets since 2000 to about 40 percent. Ali Dibadj, a Bernstein analyst who follows P&G, said the Guard razor, which has been

used by more than 50 million men in India, serves as a roadmap for companies seeking to court emerging markets. “It made P&G realize how much investment it really takes to be successful in India,” he said. “That’s the art of emerging markets.” India long has been an attractive country for U.S. companies looking for growth. It has 1.24 billion people. And its economy is bustling: India’s annual gross domestic product growth was 3.2 percent in 2012, according to the World Bank, compared with 2.2 percent in the U.S. the same year. Still, India’s widespread poverty presents challenges for companies used to customers with more

disposable income. India’s per capita income is just about $124 a month, compared with $4,154 in the U.S., according to the World Bank. Gillette has sold razors in India for over a decade. The company had 37.3 percent market share in 2007, selling its high end Mach3 razor, which costs about $2.75, and a stripped down Vector two-bladed razor on the lower end, which goes for about 72 cents. But Gillette wanted more of the market. To do that, P&G executives would have to attract the nearly 500 million Indians who use double-edged razors, an old fashioned T-shaped razor that has no protective piece of plastic that goes between

the blade and the skin when shaving. This razor, which makes skin cuts more likely, costs just a few pennies per blade. Carvalho, who spearheaded Gillette’s effort to grow market share in India, didn’t want to rush into designing a product, though. Gillette had stumbled once before with its early version of the Vector in 2002. The version of that razor had a plastic push bar that slid down to unclog the razor. The bar was added because Indian men have thicker hair and a higher hair density than their American counterparts. Adding to that, they often shave less frequently than American men, so they wind up shaving longer beards.

to determine the cause of a significant spill of a clay lubricant during construction of an underground pipeline in eastern Ohio. Southeast Directional Drilling Co. reported Tuesday it had released an unknown quantity containing the lubricant, bentonite, in Harrison County, northeast of the village Cadiz. The spill occurred during construction of the ATEX pipeline, which will carry liquid petroleum products from Pennsylvania to Texas. The clay substance, which can be used to lubricate cutting tools in drilling operations, ran into nearby Conotton Creek and onto the properties of two homeown-

ers, affecting their private drinking water, Ohio Environmental Protection Agency spokesman Chris Abbruzzese said Thursday. The cleanup was nearly complete, and the company was providing clean drinking water to the families, he said. “No violations have been issued yet, but they did impact a waterway,” he said. “The agency is investigating all enforcement actions available at this time.” A message seeking comment from the company was not immediately returned Thursday. Abbruzzese said bentonite is generally nonthreatening to the public, but in large quantities it has the potential to choke out plant life, kill fish and other life in streams and marshes. He said “out of an abundance of caution” the state also was testing the released material to assure it contained no toxins. “For the homeowners, it’s a nuisance. They didn’t ask for this stuff to be spread on their property or get into their drinking water,” he said. “The bottom line is the state

doesn’t want this stuff going where it shouldn’t be going.” Houston-based Enterprise Products Partners’ ATEX pipeline will extend across 265 miles in Ohio and parts of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Indiana, connecting to existing lines. Construction began this spring. Of 4,000 construction jobs involved, an estimated 1,500 were to be in Ohio. The spill wasn’t connected to natural gas drilling, called fracking, also occurring in eastern Ohio, Abbruzzese said. The company planned to address the homeowners’ drinking water issues, including possibly drilling them new wells, he said. Counties where the pipeline will travel include Butler, Warren, Greene, Clinton and Fayette in southwest Ohio; Pickaway, Fairfield and Licking in central Ohio; and Muskingum, Coshocton, Tuscarawas, Harrison and Jefferson in eastern Ohio.

Today is Friday, Oct. 4, the 277th day of 2013. There are 88 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 4, 1957, the Space Age began as the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite, into orbit. James R. Hoffa was elected president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. The family comedy series “Leave It to Beaver” premiered on CBS. On this date: In 1777, Gen. George Washington’s troops launched an assault on the British at Germantown, Pa., resulting in heavy American casualties. In 1822, the 19th president of the United States, Rutherford B. Hayes, was born in Delaware, Ohio. In 1861, during the Civil War, the United States Navy authorized construction of the first ironclad ship, the USS Monitor. In 1887, the International Herald Tribune had its beginnings as the Paris Herald, a European edition of the New York Herald. In 1931, the comic strip “Dick Tracy,” created by Chester Gould, made its debut. In 1940, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini conferred at Brenner Pass in the Alps. In 1958, the first transAtlantic passenger jetliner service was begun by the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) with flights between London and New York. In 1959, the Soviet Union launched Luna 3, a space probe which transmitted images of the far side of the moon. In 1960, an Eastern Air Lines Lockheed L-188A Electra crashed on takeoff from Boston’s Logan International Airport, killing all but 10 of the 72 people on board. In 1970, rock singer Janis Joplin, 27, was found dead in her Hollywood hotel room. In 1976, agriculture secretary Earl Butz resigned in the wake of a controversy over a joke he’d made about blacks. In 1980, fire broke out aboard the Dutch cruise vessel Prinsendam in the Gulf of Alaska, forcing the 520 people aboard to abandon ship; no deaths or serious injury resulted. (The ship capsized and sank a week later.) In 1991, 26 nations, including the United States, signed the Madrid Protocol, which imposed a 50-year ban on oil exploration and mining in Antarctica. Ten years ago: A Palestinian woman blew herself up inside a restaurant in Haifa, Israel, killing 21 bystanders. Five years ago: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice met with her Indian counterpart, External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, in New Delhi, where they lauded but did not sign a new agreement opening up U.S. nuclear trade with India.

Lesson learned: Don’t text to sell drugs SPARTA, N.J. (AP) — Authorities say a New Jersey man mistakenly sent a text message to a police detective to set up a drug sale and now faces charges. Authorities say a detective received the text message on his new cellphone Friday night. The sender had said he had a quarter pound of marijuana for sale and wanted to meet at a pizza parlor. Nicholas Delear Jr., of Sussex, met later that night with an undercover police officer but fled when he became suspicious. Police soon stopped his vehicle, but the 33-year-old Delear refused to consent to his vehicle being searched. Authorities obtained a warrant after a police dog detected drugs in the vehicle. They found four plastic bags containing marijuana and other paraphernalia.

Police shoot, kill driver after Capitol Hill chase Bradley Klapper and Laurie Kellman Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — A woman with a 1-year-old girl led Secret Service and police on a harrowing car chase from the White House past the Capitol Thursday, attempting to penetrate the security barriers at both national landmarks before she was shot to death, police said. The child survived. “I’m pretty confident this was not an accident,” said Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier. Still, Capitol Police said there appeared to be no terrorist link. Authorities would not say whether the woman had been armed. Tourists, congressional staff and even some senators watched as a caravan of law enforcement vehicles

chase a black Infiniti with Connecticut license plates down Constitution Avenue outside the Capitol. House and Senate lawmakers, inside debating how to end a government shutdown, briefly shuttered their chambers as Capitol Police shut down the building. The woman’s car at one point had been surrounded by police cars and she managed to escape, careening around a traffic circle and past the north side of the Capitol. Video shot by a TV camerman showed police pointing firearms at her car before she rammed a Secret Service vehicle and continued driving. Lanier said police shot and killed her a block northeast of the historic building. One Secret Service member and a 23-year veteran of the Capitol Police were injured.

Officials said they are in good condition and expected to recover. “This appears to be an isolated, singular matter, with, at this point, no nexus to terrorism,” said Capitol Police Chief Kim Dine. Authorities did not immediately identified the driver of the car. Stamford, Conn., Mayor Michael Pavia said the FBI was executing a search warrant at a Stamford address in connection with the investigation. Police officers had cordoned off a condominium building and the surrounding neighborhood in the shoreline city. The pursuit began when the car sped onto a driveway leading to the White House, over a set of lowered barricades. When the driver couldn’t get through a second barrier, she

spun the car in the opposite direction, flipping a Secret Service officer over the hood of the car as she sped away, said B.J. Campbell, a tourist from Portland, Ore. Then the chase began. “The car was trying to get away. But it was going over the median and over the curb,” said Matthew Coursen, who was watching from a cab window when the Infiniti sped by him. “The car got boxed in and that’s when I saw an officer of some kind draw his weapon and fire shots into the car.” Police shot and killed the driver just outside the Hart Senate Office Building, where many senators have their offices. Dine said an officer took the child from the car to a hospital. She is in good condition under protective custody, officials said.

An Italian Coast Guard boat carry rescued migrants as they arrive in the port of Lampedusa Thursday. A ship carrying African migrants to Europe caught fire and capsized off the Italian island of Lampedusa on Thursday, killing at least 114 people as it spilled hundreds of passengers into the sea, officials said. More than 150 people were rescued but some 200 others were still unaccounted for. It was one of the deadliest recent accidents in the notoriously perilous Mediterranean Sea crossing from Africa for migrants seeking a new life in the European Union.

Ship capsizes off Italy; 114 African migrants die Nicole Winfield Associated Press

ROME (AP) — The rickety fishing boat was the third of the night to head toward the tiny Italian island of Lampedusa, overloaded with African migrants seeking a better life in Europe. Most never reached shore. After the boat started taking on water, someone on board set a fire to get the attention of passing ships. The flames spread and panicked passengers surged to one side to avoid the fire. The vessel capsized, and hundreds of men, women and children who didn’t know how to swim were flung into the Mediterranean Sea. At least 114 people died and some 200 were still unaccounted for late Thursday, Italian officials said. “We need only caskets, certainly not ambulances,” said Pietro Bartolo, chief of Lampedusa health services. It was one of the deadliest accidents in the perilous cross-

ing thousands make each year, seeking a new life in the prosperous European Union. Smugglers charge thousands of dollars a head for the journey aboard overcrowded, barely seaworthy boats that lack life vests. Lampedusa, 70 miles (113 kilometers) off Tunisia and closer to Africa than the Italian mainland, has been at the center of wave after wave of illegal immigration. “It’s an immense tragedy,” Mayor Giusi Nicolini said. Between 450 and 500 people were believed to be on board the boat, which set sail from the Libyan capital, Tripoli, and capsized about a half-mile from Lampedusa; health commissioner Antonio Candela said only 159 were rescued. Bartolo initially put the death toll at 94 but said it would certainly rise as search operations continued. Italian coast guard divers later reported seeing another 20 bodies on the ocean floor. The deaths of so many people may have come down to the lack

of a cellphone. The 66-foot (20-meter) boat was carrying migrants from Eritrea, Ghana and Somalia, Italian coast guard spokesman Marco Di Milla told The Associated Press. It nearly reached its destination, getting as far as nearby Conigli island before it began taking on water, Interior Minister Angelino Alfano told reporters. Usually, smugglers have mobile or satellite phones to call for help when they near shore or run into trouble. Instead, someone on this boat set fire to a piece of material to attract the attention of passing ships, he said. Only three of the estimated 100 women on board were rescued — and none of the 10 children were saved, said Simona Moscarelli, of the International Organization for Migration in Rome. Two of the dead women were pregnant. “Most of them can’t swim,” she told the AP. “Only the strongest survived.”

No ‘suckers’: U.S. threatens Iran with new sanctions Bradley Klapper and Matthew Lee Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration said Thursday it would support tougher economic pressure on Iran if the Islamic republic doesn’t begin slowing the pace of its uranium enrichment activity and opening its stockpiles of nuclear material to greater inspection, and reassured its critics that the U.S. would not be played for “suckers” by the moderate tone of Iran’s new leader. The chief U.S. nuclear negotiator told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the administration could offer the Iranians some sanctions relief as “confidence-building” measures but that it would support new and tougher trade restrictions from Congress if diplomacy ultimately fails to ease concerns that Iran might be trying to develop nuclear weapons. “I’m saying this” to Iran, said negotiator Wendy Sherman, who will meet with other world powers and Iran in Geneva in two weeks. “Come on the 15th of

October with concrete, substantive actions that you will take, commitments you will make in a verifiable way, monitoring and verification that you will sign up to, to create some faith that there is reality to this, and our Congress will listen. But I can assure you, if you do not come on the 15th and 16th with that substantive plan that is real and verifiable, our Congress will take action, and we will support them to do so.” Speaking in Tokyo, Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters the U.S. would not be played for “suckers” by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. Still, Kerry defended President Barack Obama’s recent engagement effort. The Senate Banking Committee is expected to draft a new sanctions package later this month, mirroring legislation passed by the House in July that blacklists Iran’s mining and construction sectors and commits the United States to the goal of eliminating all Iranian petroleum sales worldwide by 2015. The administration had expressed concern about the sanctions undercutting

Rouhani with hardliners in his own country or weakening the international consensus on Iran, given that China, Turkey, India and several other Asian countries still purchase oil from Tehran. Sherman asked senators, however, to wait until after the Geneva talks before moving forward. Kerry, responding to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s urging not to trust Iran, defended the recent engagement effort. Kerry met last week at the United Nations with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, and then Obama placed a historic phone call to Rouhani — the first between U.S. and Iranian leaders in more than three decades. He said it would be “diplomatic malpractice of the worst order not to test at least Iran’s rhetorical promises that it is prepared to negotiate. After a month during which Obama, Congress and the American people waivered on attacking Syria after a series of chemical weapons attacks there, Kerry stressed the importance of examining “every possibility” to avoid military action.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Jacob Quick is a fat and happy 4-month-old with a big and expensive appetite. Like millions of other poor women, Jacob’s mother relies on the federal Women, Infants and Children program to pay for infant formula — aid that is now jeopardized by the government shutdown. Pennsylvania and other states say they can operate WIC at least through the end of October, easing fears among officials that it would run out of money within days. But advocates and others worry what will happen if the shutdown drags on beyond that. “What’s going to happen to my baby?” asked Jacob’s mother, Cierra Schoeneberger, as she fed him a bottle of formula bought with her WIC voucher. “Am I going to have to feed him regular milk, or am I going to have to scrounge up the little bit of change I do have for formula or even baby food?” WIC serves nearly 9 million mothers and young children, providing what advocates say is vital nutrition that poor families might otherwise be unable to afford. Schoenberger, for example, said her son goes through about $40 worth of formula a week. “It’s like a car payment,” said the unemployed mother of three. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children — better known as WIC — supplies lowincome women with checks or debit cards that can be used for infant formula and cereal, fruits and vegetables, dairy items and other healthy food. WIC also provides breast-feeding support and nutrition classes. Poor women with children under 5 are eligible. Just before the shutdown, the U.S. Department of Agriculture had warned that states would run out of WIC cash after a “week or so.” Now the agency says WIC should be able to provide benefits through late October, with states using $100 million in federal contingency money released Wednesday and $280 million in unspent funds from the last budget year. If the aid dries up, desperate moms will probably dilute their babies’ formula with water to make it last longer, or simply give them water or milk, said the Rev. Douglas A. Greenaway, head of the National WIC Association, an advocacy group. Pediatricians say children under 1 shouldn’t drink cow’s milk because they can develop iron deficiency anemia. “These mothers have trust and confidence in this program, and that trust and confidence has been shaken by Congress,” Greenaway said. “This is just unconscionable.” Groups that fight hunger say they are also concerned about the confusion that needy mothers may be feeling. Though most WIC offices are open, many mothers mistakenly assumed that benefits were cut off. Advocates are also worried that there will be a cumulative effect as other, smaller government feeding programs run out of money.

After a long silence, my dad looked at my mom and said, “This is as good a time as any because she needs to know.” Then my dad said, “We were never married.” I couldn’t believe it. If they were not married when I was born, that meant that I was illegitimate. I started crying and so did my mom.

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.

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

40504761

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

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

Radial Pulse Therapy

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

A unique, new therapy may be the answer: 40504750

Radial Pulse Therapy

Radial Pulse Therapy has been utilized in Europe and Canada for years but is relatively new in the U.S.. Treatment delivers thousands of high speed impulses to help reduce pain and muscle tension, increase local circulation, and facilitate healing.

Roommates reunite after 50 years VERSAILLES — Don Lochard, of Sidney, and Keith Furlong, of Arcanum, were roommates while attending Columbus Business University more than 50 years ago but haven’t seen each other in years, until now. They reunited at Power Over Parkinson’s at Versailles Health Care Center this September. In 1959, the two were roommates for about 18 months in private housing near the Ohio State University campus. When Furlong married his sweetheart in 1961, the two friends parted ways and, after graduation, lost touch. Over the next 50 years, both men stayed busy with their careers and families. In 1965, Lochard returned to Sidney to work with his father in the familyowned business, Lochard Inc., and continues to work four or five days a week with his son, Mike. He and his wife, Yvonne, have two children, Mike Lochard and Susan Schwiesow. They have five grandchildren. In 1966, Furlong graduated from the Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Science in education. Furlong is now retired from Morgan Stanley. He and his wife, Carolyn, have three children, Kelly Baron, Kurt Furlong, and Karen Young. They have seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild. In 2009, Lochard was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.

Heand his wife first heard about a Parkinson’s therapy program called LSVT BIG and LOUD while in Florida but did not want to start the program there, so upon returning to Ohio, they found that Versailles Health Care Center offered the program. Dr. Rabindra Kitchener is Lochard’s neurologist. Furlong was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in July. Furlong’s neurologist, Dr. Louis Krousgrill, referred him to Versailles Health Care Center for treatment. Upon completion of the program, each man was given a success DVD that featured his before and after performances. Both men stated they are leading better lives since beginning therapy at Versailles Health

Care Center. Lochard reported his mobility has improved in many ways. He feels stronger and more confident with his walking, which allows him to more easily attend his grandchildren’s sporting events. He is able to move easier in bed. “I can rollover onto my stomach now. I haven’t been able to do that in years,” he said. Furlong reported before the LSVT BIG and LOUD program, “I felt tired all the time” and “didn’t care about anything anymore.” After the program was complete, he stated “I definitely feel more energetic now. I feel stronger. I want to keep exercising.” In fact, he has kept exercising. He regularly attends the Delay the Disease fitness classes

offered by the center and YMCA of Darke County. Versailles Health Care Center also offers a free monthly Power Over Parkinson’s class, open to people with Parkinson’s disease and their families. It was at September’s Power Over Parkinson’s class that the roommates were reunited. When Furlong’s name was announced as the winner of the door prize, Lochard said he once knew a guy by the name of Keith Furlong and wondered if it might be the same man from years ago. The two men spent the next hour reminiscing and catching up. “I enjoyed seeing him after all these years and look forward to seeing him at the next Power Over Parkinson’s class,” Furlong said of Lochard.

Theater starts logo contest Sock & Buskin Players has announced a contest to create a new logo for the community theater organization, which has been producing musicals and plays in Sidney for 40 years. In April, 1974, a small group of people produced, “The Fantasticks.” Little did they know that community theater in Sidney would catch on. In the fall of that same year, the group signed papers and filed them with the state of Ohio, creating the nonprofit organization now also known as Sock & Buskin Community Theatre. The name Sock & Buskin comes from the Greek stage. The sock was a light shoe worn in Greek comedies, while the buskin was a laced boot worn in Greek tragedies. In 1974, local artist and theater enthusiast Ann Asher designed the current logo and won a contest sponsored by the theater group. In celebration of 40 years

in Sidney, Sock & Buskin Players wants to update its logo. The winning design will help identify the organization for the next 40 years, organizers said. People of all ages are encouraged to submit designs between Oct. 1 and Jan. 10. Entries can be submitted by mail to Sock & Buskin Players, P.O. Box 743, Sidney, OH 45365, or by email to clthomas@bright. net. No more than two entries may be submitted by any one entrant. The winning design will be announced on April 1. The winning designer will receive a $100 SidneyShelby County Chamber of Commerce gift certificate, two tickets to a 2014 production, a T-shirt with the new design and recognition as the creative artist of the design. Complete guidelines and rules are at www.sockbuskin.org or can be obtained by calling 726-0755.

Volunteers needed for cancer study CINCINNATI — Residents of the Miami Valley will have an opportunity to participate in a historic study that has the potential to change the face of cancer for future generations. Men and women between the ages of 30 and 65 who have never been diagnosed with cancer are needed to participate in the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3). CPS-3 will enroll a diverse population of up to half a million people across the United States and Puerto Rico. The opportunity for Miami Valley residents to enroll in CPS-3 is being made possible during October in Miami and Montgomery counties. Interested individuals may schedule appointments to enroll by visiting www.MiamiValleyCPS3.org. To enroll in the study, individuals will go to a local enrollment location and will be asked to read and sign informed consent forms; complete a brief survey, have their waist circumferences measured; and give small blood samples. The in-person enrollment process will take approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. At home, individuals will complete

a comprehensive survey packet that asks for information on lifestyle, behavior, and other factors related to their health. Upon completion of this process, the society will continue to send periodic followup surveys to update participant information and annual newsletters with study updates and results. The initial and follow-up surveys completed at home will take an hour or less of time to complete and are expected to be sent every few years. Researchers will use the data from CPS-3 to build on evidence from a series of American Cancer Society studies that began in the 1950s that collectively have involved millions of volunteer participants. The Hammond-Horn Study and previous Cancer Prevention Studies (CPS-I, and CPS-II) have played a major role in understanding cancer prevention and risk, and have contributed significantly to the scientific basis and development of public health guidelines and recommendations. Those studies confirmed the link between cigarette smoking and lung cancer, demonstrated the link between larger waist size and

increased death rates from cancer and other causes, and showed the considerable impact of air pollution on heart and lung conditions. The current study, CPS-II, began in 1982 and is still ongoing. But changes in lifestyle and in the understanding of cancer in the more than two decades since its launch make it important to begin a new study. Local enrollments can be made in Piqua on Oct. 22 from 3 to 7 p.m. at Edison Community College’s North Hall Pavilion, 1973 Edison Drive; in Troy on Oct. 23 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Hobart lobby, 701 Ridge St., and on Oct. 24, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Upper Valley Medical Center John J. Dugan Infusion Center, 3130 N. County Road 25-A; and in Dayton on Oct. 23 from noon to 4 p.m., Oct. 25 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Oct. 26 from 8 a.m. to noon in the Premiere Health Partners corporate office conference rooms 3 and 4, 110 N. Main St. For information, visit cancer.org/ cps3, email cps3@cancer org, or call 888-604-5888.

How to avoid scams

Far too many older adults fall prey to scammers who are looking to make a quick buck. The National Council on Aging has provided the following 22 tips to help seniors steer clear of them and stay safe. Health insurance fraud 1. Never sign blank insurance claim forms. 2. Never give blanket permission to a medical provider to bill for services rendered. 3. Ask your medical providers what they will charge and what you will be expected to pay out-ofpocket. 4. Carefully review your insurer’s explanation of the benefits statement. Call your insurer and provider if you have questions. 5. Do not do business with door-to-door or telephone salespeople who tell you that services of medical equipment are free. 6. Give your insurance/ Medicare identification only to those who have provided you with medical services. 7. Keep accurate records of all health care appointments. 8. Know if your physician ordered equipment for you. Medicare scams 1. Protect your Medicare number as you do your credit card numbers and do not allow anyone else to use it. 2. Be wary of salespeople trying to sell you something they claim will be paid for by Medicare. 3. Review your Medicare statements to be sure you have in fact received the

services billed. 4. Report suspicious activities to 1-800-MEDICARE. Telemarketing scams 1. Don’t buy from an unfamiliar company. 2. Always ask for and wait until you receive written material about any offer or charity. 3. Obtain a salesperson’s name, business identity, telephone number, street address, mailing address, and business license number before you transact business. 4. Always take your time in making a decision. 5. If you have information about a fraud, report it to state, local, or federal law enforcement agencies. Home repair or contractor fraud 1. Be an informed consumer. Take the time to call and shop around before making a purchase. Take a friend with you who may offer some perspective to help you make difficult decisions. 2. Carefully read all contracts and purchasing agreements before signing and make certain that all of your requirements have been put in writing. 3. Make sure you understand all contract cancellation and refund terms. 4. As a general rule take control of all of your transactions as a consumer. 5. Do not allow yourself to be pressured into making purchases, signing contracts, or committing funds. These decisions are yours and yours alone. Learn more about scams and how to avoid them at www.ncoa.org/ SavvySeniors.

older consumers. AARP officials in Denver have received complaints from Medicare recipients who were told they would lose their coverage if they didn’t divulge confidential information for their new “national health insurance card.” I fully expect these scams to mount in frequency as we approach the Medicare annual enrollment period (Oct. 15 – Dec. 7) which now overlaps with the PPACA open enrollment period (through March 31). Therefore, if you are on Medicare and you want to make any changes to your plans during this year’s annual enrollment period, make sure you are reviewing Medicare plans and not PPACA Marketplace plans.

There will be an indirect consequence of the PPACA to those Medicare beneficiaries who currently receive their Medicare benefits through private Medicare Advantage plans, or Part C of Medicare. The PPACA is set to reduce government funding of these plans to the tune of tens of billions of dollars in the coming years. How these cuts will play out is not completely known, but many experts believe it will lead to increased premiums, reductions in benefits and possibly many plans’ dropping out of more rural markets. If you experience any of these changes, I highly recommend you talk to an expert in the field before you make any changes to your plan.

So what do Medicare recipients need to remember? • DO NOT share your Medicare number or personal information with anyone who knocks on your door or contacts you uninvited to sell you a health plan. • It’s against the law for someone who knows that you have Medicare to sell you a PPACA Marketplace plan. • Only the Medicare annual enrollment period (Oct. 15 — Dec. 7) pertains to you. • If you need to review your existing plans, contact a local expert in the field. Good luck this fall, and keep your guard up! Dan Hoelscher is the founder of Seniormark LLC in Sidney.

And, $178 billion is spent outof-pocket by individuals and families, accounting for 22 percent of the money spent on nursing homes, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. This can lead down a costly path of tapping other forms of wealth, or even seeking loans. Before doing this, consider utilizing a life insurance policy first. Conversions include provisions for funerals, and whatever money is not spent on care goes automatically to policy beneficiaries. Chris Orestis is CEO of Life Care Funding, which created the model for converting life insurance policies into protected long-yerm care benefit funds.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Saturday, Oct. 5, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You can learn a lot about your style of relating to others if you observe yourself today. However, remember to get more rest now, because you definitely need it. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Take some time to do whatever you can to get better organized. Get shelving, file folders, labels, cleaning equipment or whatever you need to help you do a good job. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Make time for play, because you want to have fun right now. Enjoy flirtations, sports events, parties, social times with others and playful activities with children. Yay! CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It's totally appropriate if you want to cocoon or hide at home now. You need the comfort of familiar surroundings. Discussions with family members could be important. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your daily pace is accelerating with short trips, conversations with others and increased reading and writing. It's exhilarating and fun to learn something new! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might want to show off something you recently purchased or something you own. After all, your possessions should make your life easier, right? LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Both the Sun and Moon are in your sign today, which means you can energize yourself. It's OK to put yourself first. This is one day in the year when it's all about you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Behind-the-scenes activities appeal to you now. You might want to work alone or feel the need to seek solitude. Start thinking about your new year, which will begin with your birthday. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a good time to think of goals and how you can make your dreams for the future a reality. Talk to others about these hopes, because their input could help you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You make a great impression on authority figures (bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs). Because of this, ask for what you want. Demand the advantage. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Try to travel somewhere now if you can, because you want to broaden your horizons. You feel the need for adventure and a change of scenery. You want more out of life! PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You're dealing with shared property and issues or disputes about inheritances and jointly held possessions. Accomplish as much as you can now. YOU BORN TODAY You are friendly and social. Justice and fair treatment are important to you, and you have high ideals, which is why you want to make the world a better place. One reason you can succeed at doing this is because people like you. You will work diligently for a good cause, but you are high-spirited and fun-loving as well. This year an important choice will arise. Choose wisely. Birthdate of: Jesse Eisenberg, actor; Kate Winslet, actress; Parminder Nagra, actress.

ANSWER: Back pain called pseudoclaudication. that comes on while walking That is spinal stenosis, presshould raise, as it did to your sure on the spinal column cardiologist, the suspicion caused by misalignment or of peripheral artery disease arthritis in the vertebrae. The symptoms of spinal ste(PAD). The symptom is called

nosis are a bit different. People with PAD usually just stand and rest, allowing the muscles to get more oxygen from the blood while they aren’t using it up. In spinal stenosis, people will sit down or even lie down to take pressure off the spinal column. Another clue is that people with spinal stenosis often can walk indefinitely while pushing a stroller or shopping cart, because being bent over slightly reduces the bony pressure on the spine. You can tell someone with spinal stenosis because it looks like they are walking into a stiff wind. A CT scan or MRI makes the diagnosis of spinal stenosis, and if the symptoms are severe enough, it is appropriate to consider surgery. DEAR DR. ROACH: I wonder why, when people write to you with concerns about taking statins, you never suggest that they try niacin. I quit taking statins a couple of

years ago after a friend had a major heart attack and was prescribed niacin by his cardiologist. My cholesterol is just fine, and I have no concerns about muscle damage. —C.D. ANSWER: I’ve written about niacin a few times. In addition to causing flushing —a sensation of warmth or redness in the face and neck —it has possible side effects of liver damage, increased blood pressure and higher blood sugar. However, what really concerns me is that the past few studies have shown that although niacin improves cholesterol, it doesn’t seem to protect against heart disease well or at all. There still isn’t consensus about this, and the data remain conflicting. I think niacin is a second-line treatment, to be used only if someone really can’t take statins at all.

DEAR GRANDMA: Would you prefer your grandson remember you as the grandmother whose eye he could spit in, tell her it’s raining and she would accept it? It would be better to ask him why he feels it is necessary to lie to someone who loves him, tell him that you expect honesty from him and if you don’t receive it there will be MORE consequences. Remember, you are also a part of the team, and this is an important life lesson he needs to learn. DEAR ABBY: My only son is 18. He didn’t attend his prom. He quit school and goes to night school instead. I’ll never see him in a cap and gown, holding his diploma. On top of that, he told me six months ago that he’s bisexual and that he has a boyfriend in the U.K. I’m having a hard

time with all of this. I taught my son to love and respect everyone, regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation. Now I’m afraid I won’t have any grandchildren. Even more upsetting, he wants to move to the U.K. to be with his 26-year-old boyfriend. I feel so cheated — no prom, no graduation, no grandchildren! I’m scared and I cry every day. How do I accept him being him? — CHEATED IN CONNECTICUT DEAR CHEATED: OK, so reality isn’t in sync with your fantasy about how your son would turn out. But why are you dwelling on the negative? Your son is completing his high school education, and with his GED could very well go on to college or a technical school. While he didn’t attend his prom, he has found a meaningful relationship. He may eventually give you the grandchildren you long for — other same-sex couples have done it.

100 years Oct. 4, 1913 Two men, members of a section crew on the C.H. &D. railroad, were run down by a train near the old water house pond, north of the railroad canal bridge at 2:30 this afternoon.

Lady Jackets keep North FL’s Westerheide hopes alive with 2-0 win 2nd at Coldwater TROY — The Sidney High girls soccer team ended Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division play on a good note Wednesday night, defeating Troy 2-0. It was a significant win for the Lady Jackets. Both teams came into the game unbeaten in league play. With the win, Sidney finishes 3-0-2 in the North. Piqua is 3-0-1 and Troy is 3-1, and they both have one game remaining — against each other. A Troy win in that game on Oct. 9 in Troy would give the North title to Sidney. “The Sidney-Troy game has become quite a rivalry over the years,” said Sidney coach Stacey Goffena. “It was 0-0 at the half and I thought Troy was working a little harder than us in the first half and beating us to many of the 50/50 balls. The defense was playing tough, though, and not letting them get the go-ahead goal.” Sidney broke the deadlock at the 22-minute mark of the second half. Jenna Foster-Wheeler got the ball to Lauren Boyd, who knocked it in for a 1-0 lead. “Lauren has been playing really well for us and working very hard,” said Goffena. “We made a few changes on the field and they seemed to go our way. I’m glad we put her up top because she was an instant impact for us. I thought we played much better in the second half and had much more fight in us.” The second goal came with 10 minutes left and nailed down the win for the Lady Jackets. Morgan Knasel hit a ball that deflected off a Troy player and found the net. “I really thought that calmed us down and allowed us to just play our game in the final minutes,” Goffena said. “I give credit to the defense and goalkeeper Lindsay

COLDWATER — Minster was third behind Van Wert and St. Henry in the Coldwater Cross Country Invitational Thursday. There were 23 teams in the boys race.

sure throughout the night and they handled it very well.” Sidney ends the reg-

ular season Monday at Fairmont. The junior varsity Lady Jackets also won, 2-1.

TROY — Lehman gave up a goal one minute into the game, only to score just 10 seconds later to tie. The Lady Cavs then went on to score twice in the second half to post a 3-1 victory over Troy Christian in action Thursday. The win puts Lehman at 11-1-1 on the year and leaves Troy at 12-3. Lehman hosts Lima Bath Saturday, with the junior varsity game starting at 8 a.m. After Troy scored one minute into the game, Lehman took the ensuing kick right down and scored on a goal by Sara Fuller, with an assist by Ashley Keller. It was 1-1 at the half, but Lehman broke the tie with 14 minutes remaining on Taylor Lachey’s 30-yard shot, off an assist from Keller. Then three minutes later, Marla Schroeder assisted on a goal by Lachey to make it 3-1. Goalie Grace Frantz had six saves and Troy goalie Karli Riviello had seven saves.

Tribe savors unforgettable run in 2013 season CLEVELAND (AP) — When their turnaround season hit a dead end in October, long after most expected it to stop, the Indians spent a few minutes reflecting on their six-month thrill ride and what might have been. There wouldn’t be any more champagne, but there was plenty to celebrate. “We proved a lot of people wrong,” first baseman Nick Swisher said. “Still, it hurts.” The pain, though, was only temporary. Following a 4-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL wild-card game on Wednesday night, there were few tears as the Indians said goodbye to a year none of them will ever forget. They became a closeknit group, bonding under firstyear manager Terry Francona, who not only oversaw a 24-win improvement from 2012, but made them believe anything is possible. “All this team really ever needed was a heartbeat,” said 42-year-old designated hitter Jason Giambi, “and we kept it all the way down to the end.” In returning to the postseason for the first time since 2007, the Indians rekindled their on-

again, off-again relationship with Cleveland fans, who had grown distant and disenchanted in recent years mostly because of the team’s inability to re-sign Cy Young winners CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee.

Briefs Sidney Bocce crowns first-ever league champs The Sidney Bocce League crowned its first-ever champions Wednesday night, with Hemmelgarn Services winning a best two-out-of-three match over Sidney/Best One Tire. Commissioner Caven Risk described the event as “the largest two-hour sporting event ever held west of 25A, east of SR29, and north of Russell Road.” To get to the finals, Sidney/Best One Tire defeated Brokers Real Estate in two straight games, and Hemmelgarn beat Shreves Construction, also in two straight. Sidney/Best One won the first game on the freestyle field, then Hemmelgarn took control on the court and won the next two to become SBL champions. Members of the championship team are Jim Hemmelgarn, Cindy Hemmelgarn, Frank Catanzarite, Frank Langenkamp, Mike Slonkowski and Bob Spearman. Members of the runner-up team are Jeff Pollard, Heather Pollard, Greg Pollard, Craig Coburn and Billy Hawk. Awards were presented by Shelby County Commissioner Bob Guillozet and former Sidney mayor Frank Mariano.

But although they may not have shown their support at the box office during the regular season, Indians fans were there when it mattered most. Dressed in red, more than 43,000 of them raged for three hours as

they urged the Indians, a team that pulled off 11 walk-off wins and won their last 10 games to make the playoffs, to give them one more magical moment. It wasn’t to be. “There wasn’t one guy that

didn’t think we weren’t winning that game in the bottom of the ninth,” said All-Star second baseman Jason Kipnis. “We didn’t come up with the big hit.” The Indians blew several scoring chances against Tampa Bay starter Alex Cobb., who deserves credit for making pitches when he needed to. But Cleveland’s failure in the clutch — one of their strengths during the season — can at least partially be pinned on Swisher, Kipnis and leadoff hitter Michael Bourn. The trio went a combined 0 for 12 with four strikeouts. It’s just one game, but Swisher’s postseason problems have trailed him from Oakland to Chicago to New York and now to Cleveland. He’s batting .165 in 47 career playoff games. With two runners on in the seventh inning, Swisher, swinging out of his cleats at every pitch to try and hit a game-tying homer, struck out on three pitches from reliever Joel Peralta. The at-bat summed up Swisher’s night and further exposed one of Cleveland’s glaring weaknesses, the lack of a big, run-producing bat in the middle of the lineup.

Browns lead, but Hoyer injured CLEVELAND (AP) — Fred Jackson scored on a 1-yard TD plunge and Dan Carpenter kicked a 52-yard field goal in the first quarter as the Buffalo Bills took a 10-0 lead Thursday night. but the Cleveland Browns, who lost starting quarterback Brian Hoyer to a right knee injury, came back with 17 in th second quarter, the highlight being a 79-yard punt return by Travis Benjamin, to lead by seven at the half. With the Browns trailing 7-0, Hoyer took off on an 11-yard run and was sliding when he was hit from the side by rookie linebacker Kiko Alonso. Both of Hoyer’s knees were bent awkwardly on the hit in front of Cleveland’s bench, which was yelling for a penalty to be called on Alonso. Hoyer stayed on the ground for several moments before he was assisted to a trainer’s table. After he was examined, Hoyer limped unassisted to the locker room for tests and treatment. The Browns confirmed Hoyer injured his right knee, but did not update his playing status. He was replaced by Brandon Weeden, who started Cleveland’s first two games before spraining his right thumb in Week 2. Weeden was cleared to play this week, but coach Rob Chudzinski chose to stick with Hoyer, who won his first two starts. A lifelong Browns fan, Hoyer was

attempting to become the first quarterback in team history to win his first three starts. Hoyer’s first pass was dropped by wide receiver Josh Gordon, who may have been able to break it for a long gain. The Bills needed just three plays to take a 7-0 lead on Jackson’s short run. After a 25-yard punt return by Jim Leonhard put the ball at Cleveland’s

32, the Bills tried a trick play with wide receiver T.J. Graham attempting a long pass to Stevie Johnson. He was interfered with in the end zone by cornerback Joe Haden, giving Buffalo the ball at the 1. Jackson scored on the next play. The Bills had both Jackson and running back C.J. Spiller after they missed practice time this week with injuries.
