WASHINGTON (AP) — “Obamacare� escaped unharmed from the government shutdown Republicans hoped would stop it, but just as quickly they have opened a new line of attack — one handed to them by the admin-

istration itself.

While Congress was argu_d]" Fh[i_Z[dj 8WhWYa EXWcWÉi plan to expand coverage for the uninsured suffered a selfinflicted wound. A computer system seemingly designed by gremlins gummed up the first open enrollment season. After nearly three weeks, it’s still not fixed.

Republicans hope to ride

that and other defects they see in the law into the 2014 congressional elections. Four Democratic senators are facing re-election for the first time since they voted for the Affordable Care Act, and their defeat is critical to GOP aspirations for a Senate majority.

Democrats say that’s just more wishful thinking, if not obsession.

TODAY’S NEWS

Although Obama’s law remains divisive, only 29 percent of the public favors its complete repeal, according to a recent Gallup poll.

The business-oriented wing of the Republican party wants to move on to other issues.

Americans may be growing weary of the health care fight.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sixteen days in October could change everything, or not much at all.

Will the partial government shutdown prove to be the turning point after three years of partisan skirmishing in Washington? Or was it just a halftime show to fire up the players?

With federal employees back at work for now, lawmakers are getting a chance to find a compromise on spending cuts and settle their vast differences. If they fail, they risk a repeat shutdown in mid-January, followed a few weeks later by the recurring danger of the government defaulting on its debts.

A look at where things stand after the shutdown: The players Â&#x161; Fh[i_Z[dj 8WhWYa Obama won a round by refusing to back down.

The public didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t applaud his handling of the crisis, but scored congressional Republicans even lower.

Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall approval rating held steady, and so did the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s divided opinion of his health care law. He strengthened his hand for next time. Â&#x161; >eki[ If[Wa[h @e ^ d 8 e [ ^ d [ h" R-Ohio, conceded See SHUTDOWN | 5

Why traditional income tax?

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: In preparation for the November general election, the Sidney Daily News, in conjunction with the Citizens for Sidney Schools levy committee, will be publishing a question of the week to inform voters about the five-year, 1 percent income tax levy.

The proposed 1 percent, fiveyear traditional income tax is not an increase in revenue collected, but a replacement option to compensate for the expiring 9.9-mill emergency property tax levy and expired 0.8-mill permanent improvement levy. It is simply a different collection method to continue funding our schools at present levels.

It should also be pointed out that a 4.73-mill emergency levy failed to renew in 2010, reducing the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenue by $2.2 million.

Since 2008, Sidney City

LEVY UPDATE School District has cut $6.6 million from its annual budget. Without these cuts, the annual expenses for 2013 would have been $37.5 million instead of $30.9. The most significant event was the concessions in salary and benefits made by all school employees in 2011-12 to the extent of $2 million per year. The staff was cut from 500 to 401.

One of the benefits to an income tax over property tax is to provide a means of supporting Sidney City Schools that is fair to as many taxpayers as possible. Likewise,

traditional income tax distributes the cost over more taxpayers than the earned type. ;Whbo" _j mWi Z[j[hc_d[Z j^Wj if a traditional income tax was selected, it would be 1 percent; if the earned type was selected, a rate of 1.25 percent would be needed. It is applied to only residents of the district.

Possibly, the citizens in other school districts in the state of Ohio have arrived at the same conclusion in choosing the traditional. Of the 184 school districts having an income tax, 147 have traditional and 37 have earned. In Shelby County, all of

the other school districts have income tax â&#x20AC;&#x201D; five have traditional and two have earned.

Animal shelter awarded grant The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office was recently awarded a grant from the Petco Foundation in the amount of $2,500 for the Shelby County Animal Shelter for the project known as “Reproduction Reduction.”

The Petco Foundation is based on the mission to raise the quality of life for pets and people who love and need them.

The foundation awards needed funds to nonprofit pet-related groups, gov-

ernmental agencies, and educational institutions that strive to assist in animal causes.

The grant awarded to the Shelby County Animal Shelter was due to the dedication and hard work of the animal shelter employees to find alternate funding to assist in the population control of dogs and cats; therefore, the grant will be used to assist with the spaying and neutering of shelter dogs and cats. The Shelby

County Animal Shelter is consistently seeking out optional funding by applying for grants, and this is an example of their efforts, shelter officials said.

Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart offered his commendation to the employees of the Shelby County Animal Shelter and thanked the Petco Foundation for its generous support of animal causes.

Librarian receives ICoach designation Sidney High School librarian Morgan Nickolai has earned certification as an ICoach from INFOhio, Ohio’s PreK-12 Digital Library.

The certification required five hours of group training and individual study, and was completed on Nickolai’s own time this past summer.

ICoaches, or integration coaches, work with teachers to incorporate digital technology and research tools in their classrooms.

Nickolai joins 71 other educators around Ohio who have received District/ Building ICoach certification.

“ICoaches are a linchpin in promoting INFOhio’s free resources and services to educators across the state,” said INFOhio’s Executive Director Theresa M. Fredericka. “An ICoach has first-hand experience with the demands facing classroom educators along with boundless

curiosity about the newest educational technologies. They love to share their excitement!”

Jon Geuy, Sidney High School Principal agrees.

“Morgan is definitely a building leader. Taking personal time to learn more about these tools will directly and positively affect the quality of instruction our students receive,” he said.

Ohio gay marriage judge respected by peers AMANDA LEE MYERS Associated Press

CINCINNATI (AP) — A federal judge who recently ordered the marriages of two gay couples to be recognized in Ohio despite a statewide constitutional ban has infuriated some conservatives who paint him as a liberal activist judge who should be impeached, while his supporters say he’s a fair and thoughtful adjudicator.

Judge Timothy Seymour Black ruled in favor of the two couples, each struggling with death as they sue state authorities to get their out-of-state marriages recognized on Ohio death certificates. Black found that the couples deserve to be treated with respect and that Ohio law historically has recognized out-of-state marriages as valid as long as they were legal where they took place, such as marriages between cousins and

involving minors.

“How then can Ohio, especially given the historical status of Ohio law, single out same-sex marriages as ones it will not recognize?” Black wrote in August. “The short answer is that Ohio cannot.”

The ruling has gotten attention nationwide, helping spark a similar but much broader lawsuit in Pennsylvania and leading at least one Idaho lawmaker to publicly wonder whether his state is violating the Constitution by failing to recognize the out-of-state marriages of gay couples.

Meanwhile, Oregon officials have declared that the state will recognize same-sex marriages of couples who wed in other states or countries.

Black’s decision also has drawn the ire of conservative groups and lawmakers in Ohio, most notably from state Republican Rep. John Becker, who is calling

for Congress to impeach him.

“The grounds are malfeasance and abuse of power,” Becker wrote in a letter last month to U.S. Rep. Brad Wenstrup in which he asked the congressman to begin impeachment proceedings. “Judge Black has demonstrated his incompetence by allowing his personal political bias to supersede jurisprudence.”

Black, 60, has not spoken publicly about the controversy and has declined requests for comment by The Associated Press.

Black’s friends and colleagues defend him as a highly intelligent, thoughtful judge who closely examines every case before delivering rulings free of personal bias.

“With respect to his decision, I believe he’s probably looked at it thoroughly and dispassionately,” said Jean Geoppinger McCoy, pres-

ident of the Cincinnati Bar Association, who has looked at Black as a mentor since their days at the same Cincinnati law firm in the early 90s.

“He’s not one who, in my experience, will take up causes without a fundamental basis for his opinion.”

Black, a native of the Boston suburb of Brookline, graduated with honors from Harvard in 1975 with a degree in English and American literature before getting a law degree from Northern Kentucky University, where he went to night classes for five years as he worked during the day as a teacher.

Black, who also was on the rowing team at Harvard and still enjoys sailing on Ohio’s picturesque Cowan Lake, worked at the prominent Cincinnati law firm of Graydon Head & Ritchey for 11 years before he became a municipal

The once-grand building is now a shambles, with an airborne asbestos problem that’s so bad, specialists with the Environmental Protection Agency say no one should go inside without a respirator.

But every week, officials say maintenance workers have to return to building three or four times to replace wooden panels covering broken windows, according to the Canton Repository.

The primary culprits are teenagers, but also include people looking for scrap metal and ghost hunters who’ve heard that

since it was deeded to the agency by county commissioners for $1 in 2009.

One estimate put simply bringing the building up to code at a price tag of $10 million. The department sought to have the building demolished, also a costly undertaking because the asbestos would have to be painstakingly removed first; a state grant application for the work was denied but the department is planning to reapply next year.

“Government money is very difficult to get,” Fonte said. “We would like to preserve it, but for what purpose?”

Greg Feketik, senior founder of Tri-C Ghost Hunters, which has teams of paranormal investigators in Cleveland, Columbus and Canton, said he’d like to see if the hospital could be renovated into a tourism site, like the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, where he volunteers for ghost hunts.

“Molly is intriguing because of its history, the architecture, the size and because there’ve been a number of deaths there. When you add all that stuff together, it just screams ‘ghosts,’” Feketik said. “It would make a ton of money.”

Molly Stark is haunted.

“The worst possible thing is someone, maybe even some high school kid, gets in there and falls and gets injured or even dies,” said Robert Fonte, director of Stark County Parks, which owns the property. “It’s a safety issue.”

Earlier this month, a park ranger caught a group of teens with backpacks filled with tools, respirators and an extension ladder.

“Teenagers don’t care about that asbestos,” Chief Park Ranger Dan George said. “They just want to get inside that building.”

George said he has seen young people scale the second- and third-floor balconies on the front of the building, balconies that overlook asphalt. He’s also run into groups of people wearing identical T-shirts with the names of paranormal organizations.

Break-ins already have gone up this month with Halloween nearing, George said, adding that the hospital “is really high up on the list of places that ghost-hunters want to get into.”

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohioans who rent apartments and condominiums pay markups for utilities between 5 percent and 40 percent when their landlords sign contracts with some third-party companies that make big profits from reselling electricity and water, a newspaper investigation has found.

The companies are unregulated, and if customers are unable or refuse to pay, and can resort to collection tactics that are illegal for regulated utilities, such as shutting off the heat in winter and even eviction.

Yet no state agency has the authority to respond.

That would require action by the Ohio Legislature, Attorney General Mike DeWine told The Columbus Dispatch in response to the newspaper’s findings.

“It seems to be a problem when you have a small minority of consumers who do not have those protections,” DeWine said. “That, to me, would raise a lot of questions.”

After a 10-month investigation, the newspaper found that up to 20,000 housing units in the Columbus area alone are affected and can pay markups of anywhere between 5 percent and 40 percent. The unregulated utilities also have the potential to affect up to 3 million Ohioans who live in apartments or condos, the newspaper found.

Here’s how it works: A submeter company buys the utility meters and distribution system

within an apartment complex. It then buys electricity or water, or both, from utilities and sells them to tenants, often at inflated prices and with fees.

Sometimes, the submeter companies are owned by principal owners of apartment complexes.

Complains and questions about such companies are on the rise, with 5,137 inquiries to the Central Ohio Better Business Bureau since October last year. That’s up 33 percent from the year before.

Complaints commonly are about high bills and unresponsive customer service, said Joan Coughlin, a vice president in the office.

“We had consumers state that they moved from a larger residence to a smaller apartment and had their utility costs increase,” she said.

Many other states, utility resale is banned.

States that allow it like Ohio include Pennsylvania, Alabama, G e o rg i a , South Carolina, Kansas, Utah and Washington.

“Allowing markups for submetering is just bad policy,” said Janine Migden-Ostrander, the former Ohio Consumers’ Counsel who is now a principal at the Regulatory Assistance Project, a national nonprofit group that advises regulators on utility policy. “They aren’t providing the customer with any real service that they wouldn’t otherwise get from the utility company. There is no value added for the customer.”

World/Nation Today in History The Associated Press

Today is Monday, Oct. 21, the 294th day of 2013. There are 71 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 21, 1879, Thomas Edison perfected a workable electric light at his laboratory in Menlo Park, N.J. On this date: In 1797, the U.S. Navy frigate Constitution, also known as “Old Ironsides,” was christened in Boston’s harbor.

In 1805, a British fleet commanded by Adm. Horatio Nelson defeated a FrenchSpanish fleet in the Battle of Trafalgar; Nelson, however, was killed.

In 1917, members of the 1st Division of the U.S. Army training in Luneville, France, became the first Americans to see action on the front lines of World War I. In 1944, during World War II, U.S. troops captured the German city of Aachen.

In 1959, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, opened to the public in New York.

In 1960, Democrat John F. Kennedy and Republican Richard M. Nixon clashed in their fourth and final presidential debate in New York.

In 1962, the Seattle World’s Fair closed after six months and nearly 10 million visitors. (President John F. Kennedy, scheduled to attend the closing ceremony, canceled because of what was described as a “head cold”; the actual reason turned out to be the Cuban Missile Crisis.)

In 1967, the Israeli destroyer INS Eilat was sunk by Egyptian missile boats near Port Said; 47 Israeli crew members were lost.

In 1969, beat poet and author Jack Kerouac died in St. Petersburg, Fla., at age 47.

In 1971, President Richard Nixon nominated Lewis F. Powell and William H. Rehnquist to the U.S. Supreme Court. (Both nominees were confirmed.)

In 1986, pro-Iranian kidnappers in Lebanon abducted American Edward Tracy (he was released in August 1991).

In 1991, American hostage Jesse Turner was freed by his kidnappers in Lebanon after nearly five years in captivity.

Ten years ago: Invoking a hastily-passed law, Florida Governor Jeb Bush ordered a feeding tube reinserted into Terry Schiavo (SHY’-voh), a brain-damaged woman at the center of a bitter right-to-die battle. The Senate voted to ban the practice that critics call partial-birth abortion.

The U.N. General Assembly overwhelmingly approved a resolution demanding that Israel tear down a barrier jutting into the West Bank.

Boston anti-busing activist Louise Day Hicks died at age 87. Actor Fred Berry died in Los Angeles at age 52. The New York Yankees pulled away from the Florida Marlins for a 6-1 victory and a 2-1 World Series lead.

Out of the Blue

Mayor asks residents: Please don’t vote for me PORT MATILDA, Pa. (AP) — A small-town mayor in central Pennsylvania has an unusual campaign message: Don’t vote for me.

Bob Wiser is running unopposed for a second term as mayor of Port Matilda, a community near Penn State University. But the 70-yearold resident recently decided he’d rather leave the post.

Yet he missed the August deadline for taking his name off the ballot. Wiser tells the Centre Daily Times that he’s asking voters to write in a qualified alternative candidate.

Wiser says he’s enjoyed his time in office. But he says he’s lost interest and is tired of butting heads with the borough council.

If Wiser is re-elected Nov. 5, he could retire before his new term starts. Should that happen, election officials say the council will appoint an interim mayor.

Confusion over delayed Syria forum RYAN LUCAS Associated Press

BEIRUT (AP) — Reflecting confusion in efforts to convene an international conference to end Syria’s civil war, the Arab League chief announced on Sunday that talks will take place next month in Geneva, only to have the U.N. envoy flatly deny a date has been set.

The bizarre diplomatic twostep between Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby and the U.N. envoy for Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, at a joint news conference added to the uncertainty surrounding the proposed peace talks. A decision over whether the long-delayed negotiations will happen at all could come at a meeting of the Syrian opposition early next month that will focus on whether to sit down with President Bashar Assad’s regime.

The United States and Russia, who support opposing sides in the conflict that has killed more than 100,000 people, have been trying for months to bring the Damascus government and Syria’s divided opposition to the table for a peace conference. But with the war deadlocked, neither the regime nor the rebels showed any interest in compromise, forcing the meeting to be

repeatedly postponed.

Even now, it remains unclear whether either side is willing to negotiate.

The main Western-backed opposition umbrella group, the Syrian National Coalition, is scheduled to meet Nov. 1-2 in Istanbul to decide whether to take part in the proposed Geneva conference. One of the most prominent factions within the Coalition, the Syrian National Council, has said it has no faith in talks with Assad’s regime and won’t attend any Geneva negotiations.

But the Coalition’s ability to speak for the broader rebellion has long been in dispute, and fighters inside Syria — many of whom reject negotiations with the regime — have accused the opposition leaders in exile of being out of touch with reality on the ground.

The Coalition’s credibility, already strained, took a major hit last month when nearly a dozen prominent rebel groups publicly broke with the opposition umbrella group. More rebel brigades have since followed suit.

The government, meanwhile, has kept its options via Geneva open. Some officials have said all opposition groups should be represented in the talks, while others have refused to deal with the

Coalition. Assad, however, has stuck to one point throughout: a refusal to talk with “terrorists,” the term the government uses for those trying to topple the president by force.

With questions over who will attend lingering, Elaraby announced after meeting with Brahimi at Arab League headquarters in Cairo that the Geneva conference would be held Nov. 23. Elaraby acknowledged that “many difficulties” remain, but said “it’s time that the killings and the bloodshed stopped.”

But standing next to him, Brahimi then denied the timing of the proposed peace talks had been finalized. He said he must first visit Qatar and Turkey — two key supporters of the rebellion — and then meet with U.S. and Russian officials in Geneva before a formal date will be announced.

In a nod to the key issue of who will take part in the talks, Brahimi said the negotiations “will not be held without a credible opposition, representing an important part of opposition within (the) Syrian people.”

For the opposition, Elaraby’s talk of a Geneva conference in November was premature.

“As Brahimi said, it’s not certain, it’s not set,” said Coalition member Michel Kilo.

“The coalition has not decided

yet to go to Geneva.”

One of the issues that has delayed the talks is Assad’s fate.

In the past, the Coalition has said that it will only negotiate if it is agreed from the start that Assad will leave power before the transition period can begin. The government has rejected demands that Assad leave, saying the president will stay at least until the end of his term in mid-2014, and will then decide whether to seek re-election.

While the international community has tried to convene peace talks, the fighting on the ground has shown no sign of abating.

On Sunday, rebels drove a truck laden with more than a ton of explosives into a government checkpoint on the outskirts of the central city of Hama, the state news agency SANA said. A nearby truck carrying gasoline cylinders was caught up in the explosion, prompting a series of other blasts. Footage aired on Syrian television showed rubble, fires, and bodies on the ground.

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the al-Qaida-linked Jabhat al-Nusra carried out the attack.

SANA put the death toll at 37, while the Observatory placed it at 43.

“#TrainWreck: Skyrocketing Prices, Blank Screens, & Error Messages,” screamed the headline on a press release Friday from House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. A House hearing on the “botched Obamacare rollout” is scheduled for this coming week. GOP lawmakers want Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to resign.

Administration officials, in their most detailed accounting yet of the early rollout, said Saturday that about 476,000 health insurance applications have been filed through federal and state exchanges. But the officials continue to refuse say how many people have enrolled in the insurance markets.

Without enrollment figures, it’s unclear whether the program is on track to reach the 7 million people projecting by the Congressional Budget Office to gain coverage during the sixmonth sign-up period.

The president was expected to address the problems on Monday during a health care event at the White House. The administration has yet to fully explain what has gone wrong with the online signup system.

“To our Democratic friends: You own ‘Obamacare’ and it’s going to be the political gift that keeps on giving,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. “Irresponsible obsession,” scoffs Rep. Sander Levin of

Michigan, ranking Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee, which oversees much of the health law.

Democratic pollster Celinda Lake says she doesn’t see how going after the health law rollout will help Republicans by the time of next year’s election.

“Americans are technology optimists,” said Lake. “You tell them the website has problems today, and they’ll assume it will be better tomorrow. I mean, we’re Americans. We can fix a website.”

There may be a method to the GOP’s single-mindedness.

Republicans are intent on making the health law an uncomfortable anchor around the neck of four Democratic senators seeking re-election in GOP-leaning states, weighing them down as they try to unseat them. Republicans need to gain six seats to seize the majority in the Senate, and any formula for control includes flipping the four seats.

Sens. Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Mark Begich of Alaska and Kay Hagan of North Carolina will be facing voters for the first time since they were among the 60 Democrats who voted for the health law in 2009.

More than a year before the election, Republican Rep. Tom Cotton is airing an ad that criticizes Pryor for his vote, tell-

ing Arkansans that Pryor “cast the deciding vote to make you live under Obamacare.” The commercial’s final image shows Pryor with Obama, who took a drubbing in Arkansas last year.

“The bottom line is these candidates will have to answer for why they voted for this bill,” said Rob Engstrom, senior vice president and national political director for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

If the website gets fixed, other problems may emerge.

Republicans can still try linking ‘Obamacare’ to rising premiums, anemic job growth and broader economic worries.

Will the strategy work?

The chamber spent millions on ads in 2012 criticizing Senate incumbents such as Jon Tester of Montana and Bill Nelson of Florida for their health care votes, yet many of those candidates overcame the criticism and won re-election.

The economy, not health care, remains the top concern of voters. By putting opposition to the health care law ahead of all other priorities, economist Douglas Holtz-Eakin says teaparty conservatives may have overdone it.

“Obamacare was an effective campaign weapon,” said Holtz-Eakin, and adviser to Republicans. “The question is, have they damaged it beyond its political viability?”

Obamacare From page 1 “This is the law of the land at this point,” said Michael Weaver, a self-employed photographer from rural southern Illinois who’s been uninsured for about a year. “We need to stop the arguing and move forward to make it work.”

It took him about a week and half, but Weaver kept going back to the healthcare.gov website until he was able to open an account and apply for a tax credit that will reduce his premiums. He’s not completely finished because he hasn’t selected an insurance plan, but he’s been able to browse options.

It beats providing page after page of personal health information to insurance companies, Weaver said.

Under the new law, insurers have to accept people with health problems. Weaver is in his mid-50s, with high blood pressure and high cholesterol, but otherwise in good health.

He says those common conditions made it hard for him to get coverage before.

Although Weaver seems to have gotten past the major website obstacles, he’s still finding shortcomings. There’s no place to type in his medications and find out what plans cover them.

“I wish there was more detail, so you could really figure it out,” he said.

Such a nuanced critique appears to be lost on congressional Republicans.

Shutdown From page 1 a loss for his party. But personally he came out OK. Boehner placated his boisterous tea party-backed members by letting them take a doomed stand against the health law, then got credit for finally allowing the shutdown to end on mostly Democratic votes.

• Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, made a name for himself by leading the tea party charge toward shutdown. About half of the respondents in a recent Associated Press-GfK poll knew enough about Cruz to form an opinion — impressive for a senator elected less than a year ago. The bad news for Cruz? Their opinion was negative by a 2-1 margin.

• Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is catching heat for helping reopen the government.

McConnell agrees with many of his fellow GOP senators that the shutdown was bad strategy and must not be repeated. That puts him on the wrong side of the party’s tea party wing, and a tea party-backed candidate is challenging McConnell in the primary for his Senate seat.

Tea party The tea party, billed as a movement of the people, is getting slammed in national polls. Democrats say its belligerent tactics have been

discredited. Much of the Republican establishment agrees.

Tea party lawmakers don’t care.

Tea party favorites in Congress are more focused on the opinions of voters back home, their big money supporters and outside groups, such as Heritage Action, that influence elections.

Cruz, criticized by many fellow Republicans for fomenting the standoff, says he’s content to be “reviled in Washington, D.C., and appreciated in Texas.”

Cruz says he remains as determined as ever.

“I would do anything, and I will continue to do anything I can,” he said, “to stop the train wreck that is Obamacare.”

Big versus small government Did Americans learn anything from the partial shutdown?

Obama says it showed just how many things, large and small, the government does to help people.

Conservatives saw the opposite lesson — that federal workers can disappear without being missed.

There’s some evidence for both ideas.

Lots of people were inconvenienced and some lives were

Evan Vucci, File/Associated Press

In this Oct. 16 file photo, Speaker of the House Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, pumps his fist as he leaves a meeting with House Republicans on Capitol Hill in Washington during the third week of the partial federal government shutdown.

Boehner conceded a loss for his party, but according to a recent Associated Press-GfK poll he personally came out of the shutdown OK. He placated his boisterous tea party-backed members by letting them take a doomed stand against the health law, then got credit for finally allowing the shutdown to end on mostly Democratic votes.

seriously disrupted, but most Americans weren’t personally touched by the shutdown.

Less than one-third said someone in their home was affected, according to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll conducted Oct. 7-9.

That doesn’t mean they shrugged off the effects beyond their front door.

About two-thirds in that poll felt the shutdown was harming the economy. Consumer

confidence dropped to its lowest level in more than a year, according to Gallup polling.

The economy Forget turkey dinners and sleigh bells in the snow.

Washington’s new tradition is scaring holiday shoppers.

Last year politicians slowed sales by hanging the threat of a “fiscal cliff ” over the holiday season, before working out a deal in the new year.

What kind of day will Wednesday be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign.

For Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a poor day to make important decisions, although ironically, you will be tempted to do so.

Instead, keep things light. Enjoy conversations with siblings and relatives.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Be careful! This is not a good day for major expenditures other than just food for your own personal use.

Avoid important decisions. Keep it simple.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today’s Moon is void-of-course in your sign. This means your creative vibes are hot but your analytical skills are challenged. Avoid important decisions. Enjoy the arts.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Secrets might come out today. Whatever happens, do not react. Wait until tomorrow to be sure you know what you are doing. Better safe than sorry.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a great day to schmooze with others and enjoy the company of friends, especially in group situations. Agree to nothing important.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You will be talking to parents, teachers, bosses and VIPs today. Puleeze do not volunteer for anything.

Don’t accept important projects until tomorrow.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a creative, goofy day. You want adventure, excitement and something different to happen (nice different, not weird different). Travel plans will be shaky. (Oops.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a poor day to make financial decisions or decisions regarding inheritances and how to share something. Wait until tomorrow to be sure and safe.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a great day to schmooze with partners and close friends. Things are loosey-goosey but that’s OK. Postpone important purchases and decisions until tomorrow.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Expect shortages and delays at work today. Just keep to your routine tasks. Do not initiate new things or agree to important decisions (not until tomorrow).

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a wonderful, creative day! Artists can be productive. Sports professionals might see how to put a new spin on something. Social occasions will be fun.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is the perfect day to hide at home and read a book or watch TV, if you can swing it. This is a poor day to sign on the dotted line for real-estate deals.

Enjoy family discussions, but if they require an important decision, postpone this until tomorrow.

YOU BORN TODAY You’re energetic, dynamic and often physical in your approach to life. Sometimes you are involved in controversy and adventure. You have humor and charm, and people like you. You often take charge of a group to which you belong. You love magic and thrills, and function well in stressful situations.

This year, an important choice will arise. Choose wisely.

I find this very odd. I asked her why she ate a lot if she was only going to throw up after eating it, and she said that she enjoys food, especially cakes, cookies and ice cream.

My cousin is not overweight, and she has a cute figure. Is it possible that she is anorexic and needs help?

I’m going to have my mom, (who is her mom’s sister) speak with her mom, and I want to have more information about anorexia so she can be of help.

• Try lightening the load if possible by making multiple trips.

(What, take longer?!)

• Lifting from a raised surface and depositing onto a raised surface will limit bending all the way to the ground. (Yes, I’ve found this to be much easier, although not always possible. How do you get it to that “raised surface” to begin with?)

• Avoid tasks that involve bending or twist-

OK, so much for my irreverence … Moving on: There is a “Year-End Tax Tips For Farmers” program at 7 p.m. on Nov. 4 at the Darke County Extension office, 603 Wagner Ave. in Greenville. This workshop is designed to help farmers and producers plan ahead for tax filing this year. Larry Gearhardt, tax specialist for OSU Extension, will be discussing recent changes in tax laws and rules adopted after the so-called fiscal cliff legislation, including the many provisions made retroactive to 2012 and included for 2013. Some

of the topics deal with Section 179 expense deductions, bonus depreciation, and regular depreciation, that will expire at the end of this year, and are uncertain for next year. The workshop will focus on factors farmers need to weigh when deciding how to file their taxes. The cost is $5 per family or farm to cover the cost of handouts and refreshments. Reservations can be made by calling 937548-5215.

The writer is the Ohio State University Extension educator, agriculture and natural resources, for Shelby County, Top of Ohio EERA.

• Have a plan before picking up an object.

Know the best route to the desired destination while avoiding slipping hazards. (A plan?! Just “git ‘er done”!)

• Determine if one individual can carry the load safely, if the load is too heavy or awkward, get help from someone else or use equipment to carry the load. (Sounds good, if there’s someone there to help … or, if you’re willing to ask for help …)

• Bend at the knees, keep good posture and lift with your legs, not your back. (My knees

Operation Evergreen, Ohio Christmas Trees Overseas to military personnel, is in its 18th year.

This program was set up to provide Christmas trees to those serving away from home during the holiday season by the Ohio Christmas Tree Association.

Beginning in 1995, 29 trees were sent to troops serving in Bosnia. In the years that followed trees were sent to Kosovo, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan. The number of trees sent has varied from the 29 up to 320 trees. Estimates are that the program has provided over 5000 trees to

units serving overseas.

Since 1999, hand made ornaments, decorations and Christmas cards made by students, civic groups and other private citizens were included with the trees each year.

100 trees have been set up for donation for the 2013 Christmas

Season—and are scheduled to be sent into Kuwait in November.

A minimum or 2000 to 5000 of our troops get to enjoy these touches of ‘home’ each year within their units, on bases and at the R & R areas.

All trees, ornaments, transportation to the col-

lection sites in the state and boxes are donated.

Shipping costs have been funded several different ways—shipping overseas within the military distribution system, by commercial carrier from 2005 through 2011 and grass roots/public donations in 2012.

Make checks payable to OCTA-Operation Evergreen. Send to Ohio Christmas Tree Association, 6870 Licking Valley Road, Frazeysburg OH 43822 Deadline for monetary donations is Saturday.

For more information, contact Amy Galehouse, Operation Evergreen coordinator, 330-6582480 work, 330-607-4487 cell, email: galehousetreefarms@bright.net or Valerie at phone/fax 749828-3331, email: val@ ohiochristmastree.com.

Trio to compete at NAILE Three local residents will be competing in the North American International Livestock Exposition Nov. 9-22 in Louisville, Ky. Donna Greiwe, of Sidney, has entered 17 head of Jersey Ayrshire in the dairy cattle division of the 40th annual NAILE. Frank Riethman, of Fort Loramie, has entered one head of swine in the swine division.

Jordan Meyer, of Minster, has entered one head of swine in the swine division.

The NAILE is recognized as the world’s largest purebred livestock show with more

than 26,000 entries and nearly $700,000 in prizes and awards.

The event will be held at the Kentucky Exposition Center.

Purebred farms from nearly every state and Canada brings livestock to compete in one of 10 expo divisions: dairy cattle, dairy goats, meat goats, beef cattle, cowboy mounted shooting, quarter horses, draft horses, sheep, swine and llamas and alpacas. More than 200,000 American and international visitors attend the hundreds of individual breed shows, sales and events.

In addition to the recognition

and prize money that comes with winning at the NAILE, the value of the champion breeding stock is significantly enhanced.

Breed association events are not the only NAILE feature.

The expo is also home to numerous youth events that are an important part of the livestock industry’s traditions, including Eastern National 4-H Horse Roundup; Youth, Junior College and Senior Collegiate Dairy Judging Contest; 4-H Dairy Quiz Bowl; National Collegiate Livestock Judging Contest; National 4-H Livestock Judging Contest; National 4-H Skill-A-

Thon Contest; Junior College Livestock Judging Contest; and National 4-H Poultry and Egg Conference.

Additionally, youth exhibitors enter market animals, those targeted for meat production, in the Junior Steer Show, Junior Market Swine Show or Junior Market Lamb Show.

These youth shows are sponsored by Farm Credit Services of MidAmerica and are nationally recognized for both the quality of competition and prestige of winning. Champions from these shows are sold at the Sale of Champions on Nov.

Toledo man grows, sells produce in urban lot

Associated Press

TOELDO (AP) — Oases of healthful foods are blooming in central Toledo neighborhoods where fast food is cheap and plentiful and nutrition often suffers.

Behind the trend are people such as Toledoan David D. Johnson.

He grows fresh produce in the central city, brings in produce from other growers, and sells fresh fruits and veg-

etables at his Johnson Produce Market. He has transformed the site from a bare lot into a welcoming place with a blue and white barn. In the warm months, motorists often see Johnson tending the corner where he’s planted attractive green plants and colorful flowers.

Even when nothing was there, he sold produce in an empty lot. Then he sold it from underneath a gazebo. All of that is a show of Johnson’s drive.

His mission is threefold:

selling “quality” fresh fruit and vegetables, setting an example for others in his neighborhood, and employing young people.

“The trend in most cities is going toward urban agriculture and that’s partly because of the blight and razing houses and leaving open spaces,” Johnson, 48, noted.

“The considerate politician will consider using that land in a positive manner, and it almost seems as though it’s a

progression to regression: We’re going back to doing what we used to do, such as gardening, and that’s the positive of this city blight.”

Key officials have noticed what he’s doing.

“Mr. Johnson is amazing. To me he is making a difference for the neighborhood. It’s critical that he’s meeting a need for convenient access to fresh vegetables and fruits,” said Toledo City Council President Paula Hicks-Hudson.

In a Sept. 26, David Johnson sets out tomatoes for his customers in his Toledo business, Johnson Produce Market. Johnson grew his business from a truck on the corner of Pulaski and Nebraska to the building he built a few years ago at the same location. The market sells fresh fruits and vegetables, some of which he grew, including peaches, zucchini, yellow squash, and green beans.

Was this a defining moment for OSU? Buckeyes dominate 2nd half in 34-24 win Jim Naveau Civitas Media

C O LU M BU S — Defining moments in seasons come into clearer focus when they are looked at in the rearview mirror.

But sometimes certain moments or games are immediately recognized as candidates to be included in the category of things that could set the direction of a season.

Ohio State’s 34-24 win over Iowa on Saturday might be one of those.

When a team is unbeaten, as No. 4 OSU (7-0, 3-0 Big Ten) is, people talk about “trap” games.

Not many people were using that term before Iowa (4-3, 1-2 Big Ten) came into Ohio Stadium.

But two quarters into Saturday’s game, that’s exactly where Ohio State found itself – trapped.

Trapped in a struggle to stop Iowa’s offense, which scored on three of its five first-half possessions to take a 17-10 halftime lead and kept the ball away from the Buckeyes with long, time consuming drives. . Trapped by an offense that produced only one touchdown in the first two quarters.

And trapped by a shaky pass defense that got even more unsteady when its best cornerback Bradley Roby was ejected under the new targeting rule.

But in the second half, OSU responded forcefully to stretch its winning streak to 19 games, which ties the second-longest streak in school history.

It outscored the Hawkeyes 24-7 in the final two quarters. It ran 53 plays to 18 for Iowa. And, other than an 85-yard pass play that tied the game at 24-24 late in the third quarter, it kept the Hawkeyes out of the end zone.

It swept away the doubts of the first half along with Iowa’s hopes of winning for the first time since 1991 in Ohio Stadium.

“Defensively, I was very disappointed in the first half. I felt like we were getting pushed around,” Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said. “But in the second half, they did a much better job, a much better job.”

Running back Carlos Hyde rushed for 149 yards on 24 carries and scored two touchdowns and quarterback Braxton Miller completed 22 of 27 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 102 yards on 18 carries to lead OSU. Iowa quarterback Jake Rudock (19 of 34 for 245 yards and 3 touchdowns) became the latest quarterback to find holes in Ohio State’s defense.

Twice last week after Northwestern threw for 343 yards, Meyer described the Buckeyes’ pass defense as “alarming.”

The defensive backfield’s work might have set off a few more alarms Saturday, but Meyer said he was going to disable those warning devices until today.

“I learned a lesson in my life. I’m going to enjoy this win. I feel outstanding. I’m going to go hug my players,

Ohio State running back Carlos Hyde, top, dives over the goal line to score a touchdown past teammate Corey Brown, right, and Iowa linebacker James Morris during the fourth quarter of an NCAA college football game Saturday in Columbus. Ohio State beat Iowa 34-24.

hug my family and go to work tomorrow. But tonight I’m not worrying about any defense.

I’m going to enjoy this win,” he said.

This was the fourth time during Meyer’s 19-0 start at OSU that the Buckeyes found themselves behind at halftime and the second game in a row they needed a second-half comeback.

Besides falling behind Iowa and Northwestern this season, they also were down at halftime against Purdue and Michigan last season.

But being challenged on and off the field helped in those situations, offensive tackle

Jack Mewhort said.

“We’ve been exposed to a lot of tough situations before,” he said.

“All through Coach Meyer and Coach Mick’s (strength coordinator Mickey Marotti) off-season training program you’re always in situations where your back is to the wall. So when it happens for real, you’re ready for it.”

Ohio State responded to Iowa’s 17-10 halftime lead by marching 75 yards in 12 plays the first time it had the ball in the second half to tie the game on a 1-yard touchdown run

by Hyde. Then it went up 24-17 when Miller found Devin Smith with

a 14-yard touchdown pass to end an 84-yard drive.

Iowa got the game back to even at 24-24 when tight end Jake Duzey (6 catches, 138 yards) got behind the defense and broke away for an 85-yard touchdown catch with 2:30 left in the third quarter.

Hyde gave OSU the lead for good on a 19-yard run early in the fourth quarter on which he was almost knocked off his feet but recovered and dived into the end zone for a touchdown.

Drew Basil added a field goal and Tyvis Powell’s interception with 4:15 left in the

game clinched the win.

Linebacker Ryan Shazier said, “At halftime, some of the players and coaches just basically said, ‘We need to get it together.’

That’s not the type of defense we play, that’s not the type of defense we’re known for.”

Iowa also got a result it was known for, losing to Ohio State for the 13th time in the last 14 games the two teams have played.

“You don’t get prizes for playing a good first half,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. “You have to play the full 60 minutes.”

Nugent’s FG wins it for Bengals D ET RO I T (AP) — Andy Dalton and Matthew Stafford combined to throw a lot of highlight-worthy passes — especially to A.J. Green and Calvin Johnson.

But the Cincinnati Bengals used superior special teams for a second straight hard-fought road win, 27-24 against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

Mike Nugent’s 54-yard field goal as time expired won it, but two punts and a blocked field goal also were crucial.

“We wrote a pretty good script there at the end,” Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said.

The AFC Northleading Bengals (5-2) won a game for the second straight week by the same score thanks to Nugent’s right foot.

He made an overtime kick to give Cincinnati a win after it blew a 14-point, fourth-quarter lead at Buffalo.

“I love how confident everyone always is,” Nugent said. “Nobody freaks out. I think it all begins with (Marvin Lewis) because he and his staff don’t get too high or too low.”

The Lions (4-3) rallied from an 11-point, third-quarter deficit and looked as if they did enough to send the game to OT, but rookie Sam Martin shanked a punt just 28 yards to midfield

in the final minute.

“I thought they were going to try blocking the punt and I rushed myself,” Martin said. “I was trying to put the ball on the sideline and keep it away from the returner and I pulled it.”

Dalton threw two short passes to gain 15 yards and called the team’s last timeout with 4 seconds left to set up Nugent’s game-winning field goal.

“Pretty clutch kick, two weeks in a row,” Dalton said.

Dalton was pretty good again, too.

He was 24 of 34 for 372 yards, the third-highest total of his career and threw three touchdown passes for the second straight game. He didn’t have an interception to help him reach a careerhigh 135.9 QB rating.

After Dalton was sacked for the first and only time Sunday, Bengals punter Kevin Huber hit a perfect, 45-yard punt that pinned Detroit to its 6 with 1:43 left.

“We were in a tough spot,” Stafford said. “If we would have dropped back in a pass play on that first play, I would have been in my own end zone.”

The Lions gained just 17 yards, then Martin sent a punt out of bounds at the Bengals 49.

“I told him what I told the rest of the team,”

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Mike Nugent (2) kicks a 54-yard field goal against the Detroit Lions in the fourth quarter of an NFL football game Sunday in Detroit. Cincinnati beat Detroit Lions 27-24.

Detroit coach Jim Schwartz said. “This is a tough, bitter loss, and we need to learn from these mistakes and not make them again.”

Detroit will work on ways to avoid allowing a player to bust through the middle of its line on a field goal because that’s what Carlos Dunlap did when he blocked David Aker’s kick from the Cincinnati 16, leading to a return that gave the Bengals the ball at the Detroit 40 with 2:17 left in first half.

Dalton took advantage, lofting a 12-yard

pass into the back of the end zone, where only Marvin Jones could catch it with 41 seconds left in the first half.

“The biggest turnaround in the game was the blocked field goal because it ended up being a 10-point swing,” Schwartz said.

Stafford was 28 of 51 for 357 yards with three TDs and didn’t throw an interception.

Johnson caught nine passes for 155 yards and two TDs, the second of which was one of the most impressive of his career because he leaped

to catch a 50-yard pass while surrounded by three Bengals in the end zone to make it 24-all early in the fourth.

“It was one of the best catches I have ever seen,” Stafford said.

The Bengals had a pretty good pitch-andcatch combination, too.

Cincinnati scored the first time it had the ball when Dalton connected with Green on an 82-yard TD, the second-longest pass of his career, after the receiver got past cornerback Chris Houston. Green finished with six catches

and 155 yards receiving.

“I put this loss on me, not anybody else,” said Houston, who was benched for part of the game.

NOTES: Bengals CB Leon Hall left the game early with an Achilles tendon injury. “It seems pretty significant ,” Lewis said. … The Lions lost starting OTs Riley Reiff (hamstring) and Corey Hilliard (knee) during the game, but Reiff was able to return. … Bengals DT Devon Still (elbow) and Lions CB Rashean Mathis (groin) were also hurt.

The Lehman boys soccer team upset the Bethel Bees in sectional semifinal tournament action Saturday night 1-0. The Bees, the No. 5 seed, had defeated Lehman, seeded 10th, earlier in the year on a penalty kick with

just minutes on the clock.

“Our four seniors really stepped up their game tonight and the younger guys followed their lead,” Lehman coach Tom Thornton said. “‘Nick Earhart played his best game in goal this

year. He made a couple of incredible saves for us. It was a really good win.” Lehman dominated play through much of the game. They got on the board with 25 minutes left The goal was set up when a throw-in by

Rocco Catanzarite found the foot of Peter Comer.

Comer crossed the ball and Joseph Simpson got just enough leg on it to beat Bethel keeper Kurt Hamlin. The Bees put pressure on the Cavaliers defense the last eight

minutes of the game. But Earhart made two diving stops that sealed the win.

“We will have to be ready to play Tuesday night,” Thornton said. “We will be playing on turf for the first time this year and that’s a little different.”

The Cavs had eight shots on goal while Earhart had eight saves. Lehman improves to 6-6-3 and plays fourth-seeded Greeneview Tuesday at 7 at Brookville. Bethel finishes at 12-4-2.

Browns no match for Rodgers, Packers

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers, despite an undermanned cast, vs. Brandon Weeden was no contest.

Rodgers threw for 260 yards and three touchdowns, Eddie Lacy ran for another score, and the Packers grinded out a 31-13 win Sunday over the Cleveland Browns.

Lacy finished with 82 yards, while tight end Jermichael Finley had a 10-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter before leaving with a neck injury.

Green Bay (4-2) won its third straight and took over first place in the NFC North.

Rodgers finished 25 for 36 in methodically carving up Cleveland (3-4) despite already being without two of his top targets in injured receivers James Jones and Randall Cobb.

Then Finley left with about 10 minutes to go with a neck injury after a late hit by Brown safety Tashaun Gipson on a 10-yard gain. He was carted off the field, and the team later said Finley had movement and feeling in his extremities.

The defense took care of the rest against a struggling Weeden, who finished 17 for 42 for 149 yards. The Browns’

Jordan Cameron caught a 2-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to cut the lead to 11 with 6:09 left.

Cleveland thought it caught a huge break after recovering an onside kick, only for the play to be erased by an offside penalty.

The Packers got the ball back, and Rodgers found Jarrett Boykin for a 20-yard touchdown and a 31-13. Boykin, making his first start at receiver with Jones and Cobb out, finished with eight catches for 103 yards.

The Browns did have two nice fourth-quarter kickoff returns that helped set up drives into Green Bay territory, including an 80-yarder by Travis Benjamin that led to Cameron’s score.

Otherwise, bad luck lingered over the Browns like the dark clouds that drenched Lambeau Field with a steady shower most of the game.

On an earlier drive, a fourth-down pass from the 31 to Josh Gordon was broken up after Davon House reached up to knock the ball loose at the last second. House also had the first-quarter interception of Weeden.

Still, Green Bay penalties kept the Browns

in the game well into the second half. Tramon Williams’ sack of Weeden on a corner blitz was negated by 15-yard face mask penalty on A.J. Hawk. But Cleveland settled for a 44-yard field goal from Billy Cundiff to make it 17-6.

Penalties had bogged down the Packers after jumping out to a 14-point halftime lead. Good thing they got off to such a hot start.

Rodgers connected with Finley for a 7-0 lead after the athletic, 6-foot-5 tight end spun around one defender, then caromed off two others like a pinball into the end zone. A Lambeau leap was next, of course.

Lacy followed on the next drive with a 1-yard score to give Green Bay a two-touchdown lead.

It looked as if the Packers were pulling away for an easy victory, especially with Cleveland receivers dropping passes in the first half on a dreary evening.

The Browns couldn’t muster anything on the ground, either, against the Packers’ tough run defense. Willis McGahee had 11 carries for 39 yards. Cleveland Browns’ Jordan Cameron catches a pass in front of Green Bay Packers’ Micah Hyde during the first half of an NFL football game Sunday in Green Bay, Wis.
