Commissioner Robert Guillozet, he and Commissioner Tony Bornhorst began looking into issues with the Shelby County building code inspections after they took office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had numerous complaints â&#x20AC;Ś complaints of (the) length of time it takes to turn things around,â&#x20AC;? Guillozet said.

Guillozet said he and Bornhorst talked to the Miami County Building Department about having it take over building code inspections from NIC National Inspection Corp. in Centerville, which currently handles the inspections. The Miami County Building Department would be responsible for plans, reviewing, and the inspections on remodeling projects, new residential homes and apartment buildings and commercial buildings all over Shelby County, and noted that the villages can also sign on for Miami County to handle their inspections.

residents and contractors would be able to get approval in Troy rather than going to Columbus.

The Miami County Building Department also handles inspections for Darke and Mercer counties. Guillozet said the commissioners have â&#x20AC;&#x153;checked around with those other counties to see if they were satisfiedâ&#x20AC;? and he said they have contractors in to the Shelby County Commissioners office to discuss the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cost us anymore than weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already paying,â&#x20AC;? Guillozet said, noting that permit fees would be the same through Miami County as in Shelby County. The Shelby County building code itself will not change. But Guillozet said that they want local residents and contractors to attend next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting at the commissionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; office to help them in making a decision about what is best for Shelby County residents.

SANTA ROSA, Calif. (AP) — A Northern California community is anguished over the fatal police shooting of a popular, 13-year-old boy who had been carrying a pellet gun that looked like an assault rifle.

Sonoma County sheriff ’s deputies had repeatedly asked the boy, Andy Lopez, to drop the weapon, but instead he raised it in their direction, police said at a news conference Wednesday.

Only after the shooting did deputies realize the gun was a replica that looked strikingly similar to a real AK-47 assault rifle.

Residents of Santa Rosa, a suburban town of roughly 170,000 people about 50 miles northwest of San Francisco in California’s wine country, were shaken by the boy’s death.

Many expressed their grief by leaving candles, teddy bears and flowers at the edge of the field where the teen was shot Tuesday afternoon.

Some community members wondered whether the deputies acted appropriately when they decided to fire on such a young person.

“I’m sure you can tell he’s a 13-year-old boy,” Abrey Martin told KGO-TV. “He’s not some maniac.”

Underwood to star in ‘Sound of Music’ JOHN CARUCCI Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — The end of the year looks busy for Carrie Underwood, and she couldn’t be happier.

The six-time Grammywinning singer will host the Country Music Association Awards for the sixth time. You can see her singing the opening on NBC’s “Sunday Night Football.” And for one night in December, she’ll star in a live television version of “The Sound of Music.”

The 30-year-old star told the Associated Press on the red carpet Tuesday

night at the TJ Martell Foundation gala, where she was one of the night’s honorees, that she is nervous doing something she’s never done before. But then she realized, “None of us have. This is a live show on TV. So this is definitely a challenge for all of us.”

She said the live singing and acting was like “going to a Broadway show, but you’re in your living room.”

“The Sound of Music” airs Dec. 5 on NBC with Underwood playing Maria alongside “True Blood” vampire Stephen Moyer.

Correction In Wednesday’s city record, an accident report incorrectly listed the drivers involved in a crash. The correct report is as follows: Tyra F. Weber, 51, 2108 McCloskey School Road, was cited for an assured clear distance

ahead violation after she reportedly rearended the vehicle driven by Emily Bodiker, 17, of Sidney, Monday about 3:25 p.m. on East Court Street. Damage to both vehicles was minor.

great grandchildren, Levi and Samuel Smith; and a sister, Evelyn Spicer, of Troy.

Louise retired as a bank teller from Chase Bank, Sidney. She was a member of the First United Methodist Church, Sidney. Her hobbies included reading, bridge, golfing, and square dancing.

Private family services will be held at a later date. Burial of her cremated remains will be in the Graceland Cemetery, Sidney.

Man gets 6½ years after DUI crash confession ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — An Ohio man was sentenced Wednesday to 6½ years in prison for causing a fatal wrongway crash after a night of heavy drinking, which he had confessed to in an online video.

Matthew Cordle, 22, had faced up to 8½ years in prison. “Whatever my sentence may be, there’s no fair sentence when it comes to the loss of a life,” Cordle told the judge before the sentence was handed down.

Franklin County Judge David Fais sentenced Cordle to six years for aggravated vehicular homicide and six months for driving under the influence of alcohol. He also revoked his driving privileges for life.

Cordle apologized to the family of his victim, Vincent Canzani, who was killed in the June crash. “It should have been me that night, the guilty party, instead of an innocent man,” he said.

His guilty plea last month came just a week after he was indicted in a speedy process absent of the numerous court filings that usually cause

Matthew Cordle stands before a judge during sentencing Wednesday in Columbus. Cordle was sentenced to 6 1/2 years in prison for causing a fatal wrong-way crash after a night of heavy drinking, which he confessed to in an online video. In a 31/2-minute video posted in early September, Cordle admitted he killed a man and said he “made a mistake” when he decided to drive that night. “My name is Matthew Cordle, and on June 22, 2013, I hit and killed Vincent Canzani,” he says somberly. “This video will act as my confession.”

such cases to drag on for weeks or months.

Canzani’s daughter asked Fais for the maximum sentence. “My father got a death sentence and did nothing wrong,” Angela Canzani told the judge.

Vincent Canzani was a talented artist and photographer who enjoyed working out and spending time with friends and family, she said. She said her children and her sister’s children will never get to see their grandfather again.

The judge also read a letter from Vincent Canzani’s ex-wife who said she believed Vincent Canzani would not have wanted a maximum sentence. She said she believes Cordle will keep his promise never to drink and drive again.

Cordle’s father, Dave Cordle, told the judge he was “disappointed, disgusted and heartbroken” at the choices his son made that night. He did not ask for leniency, and told Canzani’s family his heart was filled with sorrow at their loss and hopes someday they can forgive his son.

In a 3½-minute video posted in early September, Cordle admitted he killed a man and said he “made a mistake” when he decided to drive that night. “My name is Matthew Cordle, and on June 22, 2013, I hit and killed Vincent Canzani,” he says somberly. “This video will act as my confession.”

In this undated photo provided by the Columbus Police Department, the pick-up truck driven by Matthew Cordle is seen at the crash site in which Vincent Canzani in June 2013 in Columbus, was killed. Cordle was sentenced Wednesday to 6 1/2 years in prison for causing a fatal wrong-way crash after a night of heavy drinking, which he confessed to in an online video.

Cordle acknowledged having a drinking problem after the crash and entered a treatment program as prosecutors gathered evidence against him. He told his attorneys early on that he wanted to plead guilty but made the video against their advice.

Prosecutors say a heavily intoxicated Cordle denied causing an accident or killing anyone when he was first taken to a hospital

CINCINNATI (AP) — Omnicare Inc., the nation’s biggest dispenser of prescription drugs in nursing homes, said Wednesday it will pay $120 million to settle a whistle-blower lawsuit accusing the Cincinnatibased company of giving kickbacks to facilities in return for more patient referrals.

Under the settlement agreement, reached Tuesday, Omnicare does not admit liability. The agreement still needs to be approved by the Department of Justice and federal court, Omnicare said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing Wednesday.

“Omnicare continues to deny that there was any wrongdoing,” Patrick Lee, vice president of investor relations at Omnicare, said in a statement to The Associated Press.

“The company agreed to settle the matter in

in school rape case

order to avoid continued litigation and to focus on its mission of helping to ensure the health of seniors and other patient populations in a costeffective manner,” Lee said. “Omnicare is committed to ensuring that it remains in strict compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and standards in each of the markets and jurisdictions in which it operates.”

The settlement is the result of a lawsuit filed in federal court in Cleveland in 2010 by an Ohio pharmacist named Donald Gale who worked for Omnicare from 1993 until 2010, his attorneys say.

Gale, who stands to get between 25 and 30 percent of the settlement — or up to $36 million — accused Omnicare of violating the federal antikickback statute, which prohibits anyone from lying in applications for benefits under a federal health care program, such as Medicare.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Two family members have been charged with breaking laws in connection with the rape of a 16-year-old girl following a new indictment handed down in eastern Ohio on Wednesday.

Hannah Rhinaman, 20, is accused of theft and receiving stolen property in alleged crimes dating to Aug. 20, 2012, just after the girl was raped by two Steubenville High School football players, according to the indictment.

A second count of receiving stolen property accuses Rhinaman, of Mingo Junction near Steubenville, without details of wrongdoing for all of 2012.

CLEVELAND (AP) — A Case Western Reserve University professor sued the law school dean on Wednesday, claiming he was a victim of retalia-

TOLEDO (AP) — A state prison beset by a rise in violence, including four fatal attacks on inmates in 13 months, has stopped accepting some new prisoners.

The change that took effect last week is aimed at cutting down on the number of prisoners who share a cell, state prisons department spokeswoman JoEllen Smith said.

Violence at the Toledo Correctional Institution soared after the facility started doubling up prisoners in the same cell to deal with overcrowding beginning in 2011.

The latest fatal attack came in early October, when investigators said a man serving a 40-year sentence for attempted murder and robbery was attacked by his cellmate.

The change in accepting some prisoners already had been in the works before that killing, Smith said.

The facility stopped receiving prisoners who are classified as “levelthree” and are double-

He said they are separate from charges filed against Rhinaman’s father, William Rhinaman, the schools’ technology director, earlier this month.

It was unclear if Hannah Rhinaman has an attorney. Her home phone was not working Wednesday. Mike McVey, the Steubenville schools superintendent, said in an email he had just learned of the indictment.

In April, investigators searched Steubenville High School and the local school board offices.

A chief issue before the grand jury has been whether adults such as coaches or teachers were aware of the rape but failed to report it as required by law.

In addition, about 60 prisoners have been reclassified and will be moved to lower-security facilities, she said.

The moves, which will reduce but not eliminate double-bunking at Toledo, are in response to the violence over the last few years, Smith said. The prison system also has hired a consultant to help corrections officials in Toledo review operations and make any needed changes.

A report by a legislative committee said in September that prisoneron-prisoner and prisoneron-staff assaults in Toledo jumped between 2010 and 2012. The report also said the state prison has Ohio’s highest rates of inmate drug use, prisoner homicides and staff turnover.

The prisons department said violent incidents were down this year at Toledo and that the state hired nine new guards, increased monitoring of disruptive prisoners and boosted camera surveillance.

The lawsuit asked for an end to the alleged retaliation and unspecified monetary damages.

The suit said the professor complained about alleged inappropriate touching and comments involving women colleagues, including a bareskin, summer-dress “caress” that Ku and his wife found “unnerving and creepy.”

The lawsuit also claimed the dean questioned Ku about circumcision as the

professor prepared to convert to Judaism. Mitchell said the conversion would put Ku in two of his favorite groups — Asian and Jewish, the lawsuit said.

After Ku complained to university administrators about the alleged sexual harassment, the lawsuit said Mitchell retaliated by threatening dismissal, trimming Ku’s responsibilities and saying Ku shouldn’t continue as associate dean.

World/Nation Today in History The Associated Press

Today is Thursday, Oct. 24, the 297th day of 2013.

There are 68 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 24, 1962, a naval quarantine of Cuba ordered by President John F. Kennedy went into effect during the missile crisis; the blockade was aimed at interdicting the delivery of offensive weapons to the island.

On this date: In 1537, Jane Seymour, the third wife of England’s King Henry VIII, died 12 days after giving birth to Prince Edward, later King Edward VI. In 1648, the Peace of Westphalia ended the Thirty Years War and effectively destroyed the Holy Roman Empire.

In 1861, the first transcontinental telegraph message was sent by Chief Justice Stephen J. Field of California from San Francisco to President Abraham Lincoln in Washington, D.C., over a line built by the Western Union Telegraph Co. In 1901, widow Anna Edson (correct) Taylor became the first person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel.

In 1939, Benny Goodman and his orchestra recorded their signature theme, “Let’s Dance,” for Columbia Records in New York. Nylon stockings were first sold publicly in Wilmington, Del. In 1940, the 40-hour work week went into effect under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938.

In 1945, the United Nations officially came into existence as its charter took effect.

In 1952, Republican presidential candidate Dwight D. Eisenhower declared in Detroit, “I shall go to Korea” as he promised to end the conflict. (He made the visit over a month later.)

In 1972, Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson, who’d broken Major League Baseball’s color barrier in 1947, died in Stamford, Conn., at age 53.

In 1987, 30 years after it was expelled, the Teamsters union was welcomed back into the AFL-CIO. (However, the Teamsters disafilliated themselves from the AFL-CIO in 2005.)

In 1989, former television evangelist Jim Bakker (BAY’-kur) was sentenced by a judge in Charlotte, N.C., to 45 years in prison for fraud and conspiracy.

(The sentence was later reduced to eight years; it was further reduced to four for good behavior.)

In 1991, “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry died in Santa Monica, Calif., at age 70.

Out of the Blue

Biting spiders cause school to close LONDON (AP) — Creepy crawlies, in the form of a venomous spider infestation, has forced a school in Britain to close a week before Halloween.

The Dean Academy, a secondary school in southwest England’s Gloucestershire, said it was closing Wednesday to get rid of the false widow spiders. The spiders are commonly mistaken for their relative, the black widow spider, whose bite can be fatal.

The school said no one has been bitten by the spider but local health authorities have advised it to close for the day to deal with the infestation.

Experts say the Steodata nobilis, a species of the false widow, are becoming more common in the U.K. and are the most dangerous of the 12 species of biting spiders known in Britain.

But they stress that spider bites are rare in Britain, and in most cases the symptoms are mild. The spider’s bite may sting, swell up or cause discomfort like a wasp sting, but has not been known to cause deaths.

Health care snags, fixes detailed CELINA— The Grand Lake Regional Cancer Center has announced a new Clinac iX Linear Accelerator with On-Board Imager kV imaging system from Varian Medical Systems has been added to the center. The On-Board Imager allows doctors to offer patients Dynamic Targeting IGRT (image-guided radiotherapy), an extremely precise form of treatment that utilizes multiple imaging and motion management techniques for ultra-accurate tumor targeting. The Clinac iX Linear Accelerator also has Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) capabilities in addition to IGRT. The Clinac iX

has been in operation since Sept. 23 This state-of-the-art technology enables us to treat patients with the most advanced radiotherapy techniques, using the most clinically efficient processes in the world,” said Wayne Court, Ph.D., M.D., Medical Director of Grand Lake Radiation Oncology.

“It provides us with tremendous versatility and precision for customizing treatments according to the specifics of each patient’s case.”

The Cancer Network of West Central Ohio and the Grand Lake Regional Cancer Center at 900 Havemann Road, in Celina, is a joint ven-

ture cancer treatment facility among four regional health services: Grand Lake Health System (St. Marys), Mercer Health (Coldwater), St. Rita’s Health Partners (Lima), and Van Wert County Hospital (Van Wert). The $1.7 million investment in the region provides the same caliber cancer treatment capabilities as facilities in major metro areas.

Patients who are in need of radiation therapy can receive treatment close to home.

Tumor Tracking and Patient Positioning Varian’s robotic On-Board Imager, which is capable of real-time tumor tracking and automated patient positioning, enables

clinicians to concentrate radiation doses on the tumor while protecting surrounding healthy tissue. This means that high doses of radiation can be delivered quickly and with great precision which translates into fast treatments, greater patient comfort, and the potential for better outcomes.

The Grand Lake Regional Cancer Center will be hosting a community open house on Nov. 3 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the facility at 900 Havemann Road, Celina. Tours of the facility, including the Clinac iX Linear Accelerator with IGRT technology, will be available along with light refreshments.

Obama, Pakistani vow cooperation JULIE PACE

AP White House Correspondent

WASHINGTON (AP) — Seeking to improve a rocky relationship, President Barack Obama and Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday pledged cooperation on the security issues that have strained ties between their nations.

But the sources of the long-standing tensions did briefly bubble to the surface.

Speaking alongside Obama in the Oval Office, Sharif said he raised the issue of American drone strikes during their two-hour meeting, “emphasizing the need for an end to such strikes.” For his part, Obama made no mention of drones, which have stoked widespread resentment

in Pakistan where many believe the targeted strikes by the armed unmanned aircraft kill large numbers of civilians.

Despite the Pakistani concerns, the U.S. has shown no indication it is willing to abandon the attacks, even though the number has dropped in the past couple of years. The Pakistani government secretly supported the strikes in the past, and U.S. officials claim some key leaders still do.

Wednesday marked the first time Obama and Sharif have met since the Pakistani leader took office in June. And the mere fact that the talks took place was seen as a sign of progress after a particularly sour period in relations between the

security partners.

Obama acknowledged that there will always be some tension between the U.S. and Pakistan, but said he and Sharif agreed to build a relationship based on mutual respect.

“It’s a challenge. It’s not easy,” he said. “We committed to working together and making sure that rather than this being a source of tension between our two countries, it can be a source of strength.”

Tensions peaked in 2011 following the U.S. raid inside Pakistan that killed Osama bin Laden and the accidental killing of two dozen Pakistani troops in an American airstrike along the Afghan border that same year. But there have been recent signs of progress, with

In the rocky relationship between the U.S. and Pakistan, the mere fact that Obama and Sharif sit down is seen as a sign of progress.

Boston Marathon suspect may pin blame on brother BRIDGET MURPHY and MICHELLE R. SMITH Associated Press

BOSTON (AP) — Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s lawyers may try to save him from the death penalty in the Boston Marathon bombing by arguing he fell under the murderous influence of his older brother, legal experts say.

The outlines of a possible defense came into focus this week when it was learned that Tsarnaev’s attorneys are trying to get access to investigative records implicating the now-dead brother in a grisly triple slaying committed in 2011.

In court papers Monday, federal prosecutors acknowledged publicly for the first time that a friend of Tamerlan Tsarnaev told investigators that Tamerlan participated in the unsolved killings of three men who were found in a Waltham apartment with their throats slit, marijuana sprin-

kled over their bodies.

The younger Tsarnaev’s lawyers argued in court papers that any evidence of Tamerlan’s involvement is “mitigating information” that is critical as they prepare Dzhokhar’s defense. They asked a judge to force prosecutors to turn over the records.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 20, faces 30 federal charges, including using a weapon of mass destruction, in the twin bombings April 15 that killed three people and injured more than 260. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died in a gunbattle with police days later.

The government is still deciding whether to pursue the death penalty for the attack, which investigators say was retaliation for the U.S. wars in Muslim lands.

Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, said the defense may be trying to show that the older brother was the guiding force.

“If I was a defense attorney and was seeking perhaps to draw attention to the influence the older brother had in planning the bombing, I would use his involvement in other crimes to show that he was likely the main perpetrator in the Boston bombing,” Dieter said.

“I would take the position that my client, the younger brother, was strongly influenced by his older brother, and even if he is culpable, the death penalty is too extreme in this case.”

Similarly, Aitan D. Goelman, who was part of the legal team that prosecuted Oklahoma City bombing figures Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, said the defense may be looking to minimize the younger brother’s role in the bombing.

“I think the most likely reason is that if they are arguing some kind of mitigation theory, that the older brother was a monster and the younger brother was under his sway or

intimidated or dominated by him,” he said.

Miriam Conrad, Tsarnaev’s public defender, had no comment.

Investigators have given no motive for the 2011 slayings.

One victim was a boxer and friend of Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s.

Friends of those killed have said they gave Tsarnaev’s name to investigators at the time. That has raised questions of whether authorities missed an opportunity to prevent a bigger tragedy.

Federal prosecutors said in court papers that Ibragim Todashev, another friend of Tamerlan’s, told authorities that Tamerlan took part in the killings. Todashev was shot to death in Florida in May by authorities while being questioned.

Prosecutors argued that turning over the records would damage the investigation into the killings.

3-month-old Prince George is christened in London GREGORY KATZ Associated Press

LONDON (AP) — Dressed in a lace and satin gown designed in the 1840s, Britain’s 3-month-old future monarch, Prince George, was christened Wednesday with water from the River Jordan at a rare gathering of four generations of the royal family.

The occasion had historic overtones: the presence of Britain’s 87-year-old monarch and three future kings, Princes Charles, William and, of course, little George.

Queen Elizabeth II, usually the center of attention, quietly ceded the spotlight to her rosy-cheeked great-grandson, who seemed to wave at her when he arrived — an illusion created by his father, Prince William, playfully moving the infant’s arm.

The private affair at the Chapel Royal at St. James’s Palace was also attended by Prince Charles, next in line to the throne, and the queen’s 92-year-old husband, Prince Philip, who has shown remarkable stamina since returning to the public eye after a two-

month convalescence following serious abdominal surgery.

All told, it was an exceptional day for a monarchy that seems to be basking in public affection since the 2011 wedding of William and Kate Middleton and the maturing of Prince Harry, who appears to have put his playboy days behind him.

George, who was born on July 22, wore a replica of a christening gown made with exquisite antique lace for Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter, and first used in 1841.

When William was christened in 1982, he wore the original gown — by then well over a century old — but the garment has become so fragile that a replica was made.

The infant, who will head the Church of England when he becomes king, was christened with water from the River Jordan by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby. The silver baptismal font — known as the Lily Font — dates to 1840 when it was commissioned by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert for their first child’s birth, and has been used for every royal christen-

As trumpets blared, baby George arrived at the chapel in his father’s arms with his mother by their side.

Kate, smiling broadly on her way into the chapel, wore

a cream-colored Alexander McQueen dress and hat by milliner Jane Taylor, with her long hair brushed to the side.

William wore his customary dark suit and tie as he proudly carried their first child.

More than 100 family and friends of lifelong Sidney resident Scott Arnold honored and celebrated his life by playing in the first annual Scott Arnold Memorial Golf Scramble held at Echo Hills Golf Course. Individual golfers and teams were awarded a variety of prizes.

Arnold battled lung cancer for nearly two years before losing that struggle on Nov. 10, 2012, while a Wilson Hospice patient. The compassionate care and support that he and his family received during his illness led the family to donate all proceeds from the golf outing, nearly $3,800, to the Wilson Hospice Angel Fund.

Family, friends and numerous corporate sponsors came together to share two of Scott Arnold’s favorite things: golf and fellowship.

“I decided to organize the Scott Arnold Memorial Golf Scramble first, to bring my dad’s family and friends together to honor and remember a great man by doing something he loved with great pas-

sion, and second, to be able to help other families during such a difficult time by donating all the proceeds to Wilson Hospice,” said his daughter, Emily Burnside.

“My family and I greatly appreciate everything Wilson Hospice did for us in our time of greatest need.

We want to be able to help Wilson Hospice continue their wonderful efforts for other families by donating in my dad’s memory. We will miss his infectious smile and laugh, but we will never forget. I plan to continue this outing every year to keep the memory of him shining brightly. ” The Angel Fund was established by the Wilson Memorial Hospital Foundation to enable the hospital to assist Wilson Hospice patients and their caregivers with an immediate need and is specifically intended to improve the quality of life of patients who are living with life-limiting illnesses.

When Christians disagree sacrifice to its god in order to assure its blessing and to cleanse it from evil spirits.

Many of the more knowledgeable and mature Corinthian Christians realized that there were no other gods and that it was just a man-made myth. Without mercy, the meat-eating Christians came down hard on the weaker Christians, who in good conscious, refused to eat any meat offered to idols, saying, “… forget it, grow up, just eat the meat.”

Eating the meat is not the point of this chapter; working through offenses by looking through the lens of love is what Paul was teaching. The mature Christians had the right theology but they had a lack of love. They tried to force and manipulate the weaker Christian into eating. That caused a problem!

What was Paul’s solution: “I’ll go vegan.” Paul writes, “ Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh (meat) while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.” Paul chose edification, love and unity over personal preference. Paul knew that technically those who ate the meat offered

to idols were right, there are no other gods (see I Corinthians 8:5 and 6), but they were hurting another brother in Christ, so he states, in verse 11, “And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?” Paul knew that some of the new Christians and that some of the other ones that were set in their ways, needed patience and that the most important thing was to not hinder their growth but to continue to help them in their walk with Christ.

Being right is not the most important thing, being a blessing is. I once heard a pastor say, “A bulldog could whip a skunk any day, but is it really worth it.” Our pride wants us to be “right” but not at the expense of others. Paul knew that a foul odor in the church could be the result of this disagreement, so he asked others to lay down their right to be right so that love could reign supreme.

We admire Paul’s mind, his theology, and his faith, but look at his heart of love. Throughout his writings we see his love and passion for people. Look at this shocking statement from Paul in Romans 9:1-3: “I say

the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, that I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh.” Was this hyperbole? Was Paul making an exaggerated statement to get people’s attention? No, he was sincere in every word that he wrote as he begins this bold statement saying, “I say the truth in Christ.”

This seems impossible; he can’t really mean that.

I can’t believe someone could ever make a statement like that. The Apostle Paul would trade heaven to spend an eternity in hell that other people might be saved.

That is love and passion for the souls of men.

When you look at his life as he endured persecution (see the list in 2 Corinthians 11), the passion to reach lost people and the care for the church is evident.

When you look at his life, you stop and say, “Paul really did mean this!”

Paul’s love led him to the point that he realized every church member has a responsibility to help maintain the unity of the

“Lost in Vegas,” a story of romance, revenge and redemption, will be presented Nov. 8 and 9 at 7 p.m. each night at Only Believe Ministries, 13815 Botkins Road, Botkins.

Invite your neighbors and friends to enjoy a delicious dinner and an evening of fellowship.”

Apostolic Temple to build Quincy church QUINCY — The Sidney Apostolic Temple has purchased property at 201 N. Main St. for a new church, the Temple of Quincy.

Reconstruction began in early August and it is hoped that services there will begin in November.

Church leaders have invited area residents to stop in to visit during the reconstruction, to share stories about their memories of the building, to assist with the labor or to make donations.

The building was con-

structed in 1935 and served as a Church of the Nazarene for 40 years. Thereafter, it housed a bridal shop, a tax accounting office and a storage facility.

church, even when there are disagreements.

Paul opens the eighth chapter of 1 Corinthians with a candid statement: “ Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.” The more knowledgeable Christians were “puffed up,” they felt that their knowledge and belief made them superior to these lesser, immature Christians. The devil found a way to drive a wedge between the believers in the Corinthian church through this disagreement. One author wrote this: Knowledge is essential but not sufficient!

Knowing the truth is not enough it must be balanced with love. Later in his letter to the Corinthians he summed it all up by writing, “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing” (1 Corinthians 13:1-2).

will address what Medicare parts A, B, C, and D are and what people need to know about each one for 2014.

This an information-only session and will be helpful to those already on Medicare in addition to people ready to start Medicare, organizers said.

Letters to the editor Pay forward by voting for school issue

To the editor: I am writing this letter to urge residents to support the school issue on the Nov. 5 ballot.

My two granddaughters attend Sidney Schools and I am very pleased with the educational development they are demonstrating. I have found the teachers to be very caring and committed to providing the best education possible. In addition, the schools have done a great job in providing a safe and secure environment.

I believe that a strong educational system is crucial in providing our children a solid education, as they are our future. As Woody Hayes once said, you can never pay back but you can always pay forward.

In addition to last names, perhaps the second most powerful cue that voters often rely on is whether the candidate is a Democrat or a Republican. This is actually worse than last name because if there’s anything that should not matter on the bench it is party affiliation.

The current system places party affiliation on the ballot in the primary but not in the general election. It was instituted in 1911 as a political compromise and in response to the 19th Century abuses where political parties and their bosses totally dominated Ohio elections, including elections for judge.

Some have recently argued that we should go back to the 19th century and place party affiliation on the ballot for the general election.

Consider this: You’re standing before a judge who will decide your fate on a traffic violation, your divorce settlement, the custody of your children, or the estate of your parents. Do you care if the judge is a Democrat or a Republican? Do you want the judge to bring his or her political beliefs to these life-changing decision? Should the judge’s

political affiliation have anything at all to do with judging?

Absolutely not.

So, my proposal includes a provision for eliminating party affiliation from the ballot entirely as is the case in 14 other states with competitive elections. It is part of a far-reaching plan that contains a number of suggestions for strengthening judicial elections in Ohio.

Among my other ideas: Should Ohio join the other states that have a formal, nonpartisan system for recommending nominees to the governor to fill judicial vacancies? Should appointments to the Ohio Supreme Court require the advice and consent of the Ohio Senate? Should Ohio increase the basic qualifications for serving as a judge? Should Ohio increase the length of judges’ terms?

I pose these ideas as questions because I do not profess to have all the answers. I am interested in leading a conversation and reaching a consensus on what we can do to strengthen judicial elections in Ohio. I hope you will join me in this important work by visiting www.

Letters to the editor School supporter doesn’t support income tax To the editor: Let me start by saying I am a supporter of Sidney City Schools, and applaud the efforts of the levy committee. It is always difficult to pass a levy.

However, I am disturbed by the poor performance of the district.

Usually a district will improve its performance before running a levy. Not Sidney. The report card showed one B, five C’s, one D, and two F’s. Their ranking is 585 out of 611 districts.

The November Sidney City Schools levy taxes earned income, pensions (take note retirees), dividends, 401k plans, and interest.

We are led to believe the amount collected will be relatively the same amount as a property tax.

A property tax collects a fixed amount of dollars. Only that sum can be collected, which is why

the millage changed during the duration. The income tax has no such limit.

Who remembers being asked about an income tax versus a property tax? Who can remember in their lifetime having a school income tax in Sidney? No one can, as the only income tax levy in the last 35-plus years was soundly defeated, and it was only an earned income tax.

But, we are led to believe, Sidney should have an income tax because every other district in Shelby County has one. I do not recall a rationalization of doing something because everyone else has one as being a very good argument.

Why have property taxes been successful in Sidney? Sidney has been blessed with a solid business base that pays more than 30

percent of property tax. So, the “traditional” income tax places 100 percent of the burden on citizens and businesses will not participate.

Plus, if the income tax passes, it appears the district intends to double-dip: Collect the property tax through 2014, and the income tax. Most people are carefully watching their budgets, and it would be prudent for the school district to only collect one school tax.

I would suggest the school district re-evaluate its needs and run a property tax in 2014. I believe more people would support it.

I encourage everyone to vote their conscience in the November election. I cannot support an income tax levy.

Don’t blame American people for this mess To the editor: This is concerning what’s going on with both political parties. Being a veteran, I think it’s disgraceful and degrading to all the military women and men that has served their country faithfully that Congress would let the government shutdown happen. It is very distrusting how Congress

will vote themselves a nice raise when they are going to give the Social Security people a 1.5 percent raise. Congress is the reason our country is in the shape it’s in now. You cannot blame the American people for this mess. The people of the United States did not pass those bills — it is all done by a bunch of incompetents. They do nothing.

Boehner made a statement that this was no darn game. Ron Paul made a statement to the senator from Kentucky that the Republican Party was going to win this mess.

The Republican Party has put their big foot in their mouth. Sarah Palin said she was one who helped form the tea party. Unless I miss my guess, there won’t be enough to have

tea. They’ll be nothing in their cups and they’ve done it to themselves. I have voted for the last time. I would never vote for either party. They get paid for doing nothing.

Stupidity and ignorance all go in the same bowl of soup.

Riverside tax levy explained To the editor: I am a junior at Benjamin Logan High School. My AP government class is researching local levies/ elections. Our goal is creating voter guides to help inform the people about the upcoming levies/ elections. We are just presenting the facts to the people, nothing more.

I had the task of researching the levy for Riverside Local Schools, DeGraff. I interviewed the superintendent of Riverside Schools this fall to gather this information. The superintendent is Scott Mann, a former principal of Riverside High School. He has been superintendent for two years and this will be the first levy during his time as superintendent. This is the first time the levy is on the ballot.

The levy that will be on the upcoming ballot is a proposed

reduction in income tax. When asked why use an income tax instead of a property tax for example, his response was “… Because of the large amount of farmers in the area; they would be hit harder than most other people because of all the farmland they own.” He stated, “It is so that everyone takes a piece of the pie.” This is just saying that everyone pays a fair share.

Levies of other schools have been an increase in income tax, but Riverside’s levy is a reduction in income taxes. This is because three to five years ago the income tax was 2 percent, which was rather high. Their focus is to make great decisions and this would be the first step in that by reducing that high 2 percent income tax.

The money will go toward operating expenses. Nineteen percent to 20 percent of operating expens-

es are related to this levy. The expenses consist of buses, operating fees, etc. The need for the income tax in for the operating expenses, buses a major part, and to help eliminate cutting and having to make cuts. The test scores on Riversides’s report cards were very low and when asked if there was a correlation between the scores and amount of money spent per student, the superintendent said, “I do believe there is a correlation and we take pride in it and things are being done to change these scores and improve them.”

Some actions that are being done to raise these scores is extended block times, for example. Math went from 45 minutes to 90 minutes.

Powerful Trotwood invades Friday Ken Barhorst

Sidney coach Adam Doenges says his squad is a resilient group.

And that’s good because after the tough loss last week to Vandalia, in which the Jackets went for two after pulling within a point with :08 remaining, Sidney has to bounce back in time to take on the unquestioned best team on its schedule.

Greater Western Ohio Conference North kingpin Trotwood comes to Sidney Memorial Stadium Friday night coming off a 72-6 embarrassment of the Troy Trojans last week.

The Rams are 6-2 on the year, and one of those losses was by forfeit for using an ineligible player. That misstep could cost the Rams a playoff spot, too, so the last thing they can afford is a loss.

“We’re approaching like we would approach Springboro or

Piqua or some others,” said Doenges. “This is why we do what we do. Why we’re in this league. We’re playing against the best and you don’t get to do that anywhere else.”

Trotwood is 10th this week in its region of Division III, and that’s a precarious position with only two games remaining.

“I think they will still get in, and once they do, look out,” said Doenges. “One thing coach (Maurice) Douglas does well is rest his players. He’s geared up for a 15-game season every year.”

The Rams have a 1,000-yard passer in 6-foot-3, 182-pound sophomore Messiah DeWeaver, who is at 1,080 yards on the year. He’s completed 62 of 105 passes, with 10 touchdowns and just two interceptions.

Ashton Jackson, a six-foot, 200-pound senior, leads the team in rushing with 657 yards and an average of 10.8 per carry.

40512991

we kept fighting last week,” said Doenges. “It would be easy to fall over when you lose a couple of starters in the first half, but some young kids stepped in and did a good job. We had a freshman make a tackle on a kickoff, a freshman pick up the ball and make a good return on the kickoff at the end that put us in position to score, and a freshman, Conor Beer, who played both ways, at corner and wideout.

It was definitely a teaching moment for those kids, who hadn’t been on the field under the lights before.

“I think we need to jump out early this week,” he added.

“It’s senior night and we’ll have that emotion. We have to hang with them. If you can do that through a half or third quarter, then you never know. But with a team this talented, you have to take care of the ball and not give them the big play.”

Rockets get Williams back this week

Ken Barhorst

ANNA — Anna head coach Bryan Rioch says his team will have to be able to run the ball Friday night to have a chance against unbeaten Marion Local (8-0) in Midwest Athletic Conference football action at Anna.

So that made the news that Christian Williams is back even more welcome for the Rockets.

Williams is the junior running back that rushed for 893 yards in the first four-and-a-half games, before suffering a foot injury that required surgery. That injury occurred in the second half against Delphos St. John’s in week five and he’s been out ever since. But he still is No. 3 in the area in rushing.

“I scripted a finite number of reps for him this week,” said Rioch. “You don’t like to think one player makes a huge difference, but I really think we’d be 5-3 right now if he hadn’t gone out. Matthew Bruce has done a great job running the ball, but Christian just brings stuff you can’t teach. He presents some matchup problems for teams in terms of playing keepaway.”

The Rockets got back on track last week with a 49-6 win over New Bremen that snapped a four-game losing streak.

“I liked how we came out and how we played,” said Rioch. “We didn’t just win.

We won convincingly. We kinda got back to the fundamentals. Bruce ran the ball really well, and our line blocked well. We had a couple of kids injured and the subs came in a did a good job. Nick Nolte had a bunch of tackles, and Connor (Rioch) took’s Ryan Counts’ place at wing and played well.”

He also praised the play of Cody Williamson at defensive end, especially in light of what happened one day at practice last week.

“He got his soul ripped out,” Rioch said. “He did something wrong and coach (Casey) Needles really got after him. I told him, ‘Coach Needles was yelling at you so hard, he ran out of breath.’ He real-

ly responded and he’s been phenomenal ever since. I think he requested another soul-extraction this week.”

Counts, who was out with a concussion, is also back for the Rockets this week.

Marion Local, meanwhile, certainly appears unbeatable, and like Rioch said, “a lot of people have already given them the Division VII championship.” Last week, the Flyers were expected to have their biggest test of the season when they traveled to once-beaten Coldwater. But they left town 47-14 victors.

“I have that film, and they did to Coldwater what Coldwater did to us,” said Rioch. “You don’t have enough space in the paper to put in what I think makes them so good.

Coaching, technique, how hard their kids play… I tried to find a weakness on defense and I can’t. They have 70 kids, and maybe number 63 might not do everything perfect.

“We have to be able to run the ball,” he added.

“Their skilled kids are superior to most teams’ skilled kids, and they can lock you down. So we have to be able to run the ball and keep it out of their offense’s hands. We need to take advantage of what they give us. I’m not going to sugar-coat it. We’ll have to play our best.”

And the Rams are stifling on defense, too, allowing just 91 yards rushing per game and only 207 in total yards.

“The athleticism is there and the speed is there,” said Doenges. “But the scary thing is that the line is getting better.

They’re big, very well-coached and they understand the game.

So the interior play keeps getting better and better every year.”

The Jackets were forced to go with some inexperienced players last week against Vandalia after a couple of players were injured. Scott Stewart, who has 28 receptions this season, was out but is expected back this week, and Lorenzo Taborn went out with concussion-like symptoms. He’s also expected back.

The news is not so good for Darryl McNeal, who injured his ankle in the Piqua game.

He will be out for the rest of the season.

COLUMBUS – Carlos Hyde immediately deflected the suggestion that he is now “The Man” in Ohio State’s offense and heaped praise on his offensive linemen.

“I would like to give all credit to my offensive line. They did an unbelievable job today. I’m proud of those guys,” Hyde said after Ohio State’s 34-24 win over Iowa last Saturday.

It’s the sort of things running backs do all the time. It’s like a reflex action or as if they’re reading from a script.

Hyde’s words were more than routine, though. He’s hardly alone in tossing compliments in the direction of Ohio State’s offensive linemen. They’ve been almost universally applauded as the most consistent unit for the No. 4 Buckeyes in their 7-0 start.

Coach Urban Meyer called them his favorite guys on the team after the Iowa game. Four of the starting linemen were graded as “champions” by OSU’s coaches and the fifth received honorable mention in that game.

The five starting linemen – center Corey Linsley, tackles Jack Mewhort and Taylor Decker and guards Andrew Norwell and Marcus Hall – have cleared the way for OSU to average 45 points and 493 yards a game. Those numbers rank No. 1 and No. 3 in the Big Ten and No. 7 and No. 20 nationally.

“It’s a strong unit that has a lot of camaraderie. They’ve played a lot of games together, and it’s a lot of fun to watch them do their thing out there,” Ohio State offen-

sive line coach Ed Warinner said.

Linsley, Mewhort, Norwell and Hall are returning starters from last year. Decker, a sophomore, is in his first year as a starter.

Decker has filled the right tackle slot nicely after a rough start in the opener against Buffalo. But even that game might not have been as bad as it looked, Warinner said.

“If you assess the game, it wasn’t 20 bad plays, it was three.

But three bad plays for a corner or three bad plays for a tackle, everybody knows about it. They don’t know about the other 65 that were pretty decent. “Now he’s confident. He feels good about himself and so do we. Things are good,” he said.

Mewhort said, “As a unit I think we work very hard. We do a lot of things right on and off the field.

Coach Warinner is obviously an awesome coach who is good with controlling the herd that is the offensive line. It just boils down to hard work. That is something we embrace as a unit. We know we’re not a finished product and we’re well aware of what we have to do to get where we want to go.

“We like to put the team on our backs when the chips are down and kind of do our thing,” he said.

The second half of the Iowa game was an example of that. OSU was down 17-10 at halftime, but its dominated the second half, running 53 plays to only 18 for Iowa.

“I think we were called upon and we responded well,” Mewhort said. “ We did it before, we’re going to have to do it again. We thrive on that as an offensive line.”

Redskins face 3-5 Lima Perry Ken Barhorst FORT LORAMIE — The Fort Loramie Redskins continue to churn toward another postseason playoff berth, standing in sixth place this week in Region 26 of Division VII. They bounced back impressively last week from the 21-14 setback at the hands of Lehman two weeks ago, blasting Upper Scioto Valley in Northwest Central Conference play. And this week, they try to keep up the momentum when they travel to Lima Perry.

Perry is just 3-5 on the season but has won three of its last four, including two in a row over Riverside and Dayton Jefferson.

“That’s what we’ve focused on this week,” said Loramie coach Matt Burgbacher. “They’ve played some pretty good football the last three or four weeks and that’s very dangerous because of the athletes they have.”

Burgbacher said an injury to the starting quarterback has actually turned out well for the Commodores because a freshman has stepped in and played quite well.

“Their quarterback is good-sized and he makes plays for them,” said Burgbacher. “So obviously, their offense has changed quite a bit with him at quarterback the last four games. I think it’s going to be one of those games where we’ll have to play very disciplined and get out to an early lead. If we do that, we should be fine.”

Burgbacher said the quarterback situation will remain the same this week. Tyler Kazmaier continues to come back from an injury that has sidelined him much of the season, but his capable replacement, Andy Grewe, will again get the start this week.

“Tyler is getting better, but Andy has filled in and done a good job,” said Burgbacher. “So

again this week, Andy will start and Tyler will be in there on the second series.”

The Redskins still have some injuries to be concerned about.

Lorgan McGee was out with a bad ankle last week but Burgbacher said he may be able to go Friday.

But defensive lineman Garrett Eilerman, one of the team’s leading tacklers, is banged up and will be out until postseason play.

The Redskins’ Delaunte Thornton has eclipsed the 1,000yard mark in rushing this season, with 1,216 going into Friday night’s game. He’s averaging 7.9 yards per carry.

“Our focus this week will be on their quarterback because I think he’ll try to throw it a lot,” said Burgbacher. “They’re going to get the ball in their athletes’ hands, and the quarterback was their leading rusher last week.

They’re banking him doing most of it for them.”

Jeff Gordon climbs into his car during practice at Talladega. Gordon got into the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship when NASCAR made an unprecedented move to expand the playoff field to 13 drivers after controversy at Richmond. Six weeks later, the focus finally seems to be back on the championship.

Drivers glad focus on Chase and not the Richmond mess CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Jeff Gordon got into the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship when NASCAR made an unprecedented move to expand the playoff field to 13 drivers after the controversial ending at Richmond.

Six weeks later, his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson is back on top of the standings and in a tight points race with Matt Kenseth. Gordon is fifth, still mathematically in contention for his fifth title, just behind Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick.

And the focus finally seems to be back on the championship, instead of the shenanigans that occurred just before the 10-race Chase began.

“You’re going to go through rough patches and take some hits whether you’re a competitor or whether you’re a sport. That was certainly one of them,” Gordon said during testing at Texas Motor Speedway this week. “But ever since then, the focus has been on the competition and what’s happening on the track, and I feel like every week that builds, we’ve got a tight points battle with the first two guys and that’s certainly going to every week create a lot of interest.”

Johnson takes a fourpoint lead over Kenseth into Sunday’s race at Martinsville. It’s the first time Kenseth hasn’t been the points leader since the Chase began, and he opened it with wins in the first two rounds. But the Joe Gibbs Racing driver is coming off a 20th-place finish at Talladega that allowed Johnson to take his first lead of the Chase.

Gordon was added to the Chase when NASCAR Chairman Brian France determined the four-time

champion did not have a fair chance to race his way into the 12-driver field because of the actions of at least three organizations over the closing laps at Richmond.

NASCAR determined that Michael Waltrip Racing manipulated the outcome of the race in a bid to get Martin Truex Jr. into the Chase. The sanctioning body also placed Penske Racing and Front Row Motorsports on probation for the rest of the season when one-sided radio chatter showed Front Row discussing giving Penske track position in exchange for an unidentified favor.

“It definitely was a funk,” Johnson said. “I think that it’s kind of a distant thought now for most, although I saw Martin Truex (at testing in Texas on Tuesday), and it certainly isn’t a distant thought for him. … I feel bad for the guy.”

The fallout has cost Truex his job at MWR. The team will run that car only a partial schedule next season because sponsor NAPA Auto Parts said it is leaving at the end of the season, a decision that forced MWR to layoff roughly 15 percent of its workforce.

Johnson said he hopes NASCAR has learned a lot about what happened and can prevent it from happening again.

“I feel like the racing and the tight points battle we’ve had has really come through all of that, and there’s a really good outlook for our 2013 season when you reflect back on it when the year’s over,” he said.

Gordon said those few days after Richmond were among the toughest he’s ever been through in racing.

“My emotions are good right now,” he said.

“Now that things have gone well, it’s been fun.

Racing has been fun since Chicago.”

——— DIXON THE GREAT: When it’s all said and done — and at just 33 years old, who knows when that will be — Scott Dixon will go down as one of the greatest drivers in IndyCar history.

His numbers already rank him as one of the most complete drivers the series has ever seen.

Dixon won his third championship Saturday night by finishing fifth at Fontana to cap a remarkable comeback. He was seventh in the standings and winless at the midpoint of the season, but ended the year with four wins in the final nine races — good enough for a 27-point victory over Helio Castroneves in the final standings.

This championship came in a 19-race season in which IndyCar had 10 different winners.

The schedule included 10 street courses, six ovals and three road courses — far different from his 2003 championship, which was a 16-race schedule of only ovals.

Dixon had three wins in 2003 and finished second five times.

The IndyCar landscape began to shift in 2008 as the 18-race schedule consisted of 10 ovals, four road courses and three street races. Dixon won six times, including the Indianapolis 500.

Now, with his three titles, and 33 career victories that rank seventh on the all-time wins list, Dixon has clearly established himself as a modern-day great.

Where will he be when he’s finished?

“I don’t know. I think I’m kind of one of those people that once it’s said and done, I’m done

with racing, I can look back and say, ‘Hey, we achieved this, I achieved this.’ That’s the time for that,” Dixon said. “For me right now, I love racing. I want to race. Whether it’s IndyCar stuff, sports car stuff that the team does, I love being at a track. I love waking up thinking about it, train for it, do all that kind of stuff.”

——— NOT GIVING UP: Carl Edwards is doing a balancing act the last four races of the NASCAR season.

“We are not putting this season behind us yet,’” he said.

Even though his championship chance this year is all but gone — he’s 10th in the standings and 68 points behind leader Jimmie Johnson, Edwards isn’t ready to count the rest of this season as just testing and preparation for next year.

“We have two things to do for the rest of the year. Number one, just win as many races as we can, have as much fun as we can,” Edwards said.

“But two, it’s a real close second, is to prepare for 2014. It starts over again very quickly and every bonus point you can get through wins next season will help you to compete for that championship.”

The Roush-Fenway Racing driver has twice been the season runnerup, including 2011 when he tied in points but finished second on the tiebreaker because Tony Stewart had more wins.

Edwards won a serieshigh nine races in 2008, when he was also second.

“My mission is to win the championship. That what I want to do,” Edwards said. “I know what it’s like to win a bunch of races in a year.

I know what it’s like to be close.

Sidney Daily News, Thursday, October 24, 2013

Browns bench Weeden; Campbell to start BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Jason Campbell didn’t get passed over a second time.

He’s all Cleveland has left.

Campbell is finally getting a chance to start at quarterback for the reeling Browns, who are turning to the veteran to settle things down and save a season that’s beginning to spin out of control.

Browns coach Rob Chudzinski benched ineffective starter Brandon Weeden and will go with Campbell on Sunday against the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs. Campbell is the third QB to start for Cleveland already this season and the 20th — the most in the NFL — since 1999 for the Browns, who have spent their entire expansion era searching for an on-field leader.

Campbell started just one game last season and knows he may have some rust to knock off.

“Go get some 40-W, EW-40 or something like that,” Campbell joked, searching for the name of the well-known lubricant. “I just want to go have fun and play, and we’ll see what happens.”

With Weeden coming off poor performances in losses to Detroit and Green Bay, Chudzinski decided to switch to Campbell, who was leapfrogged earlier this season by Brian Hoyer. When Weeden sprained his right thumb in Week 2 against Baltimore, Chudzinski picked Hoyer, who was No. 3 on Cleveland’s depth chart, over Campbell to start against Minnesota.

Hoyer led the Browns (3-4) to wins over the Vikings and Cincinnati Bengals before his season ended in the first quarter Oct. 3 against Buffalo. But Weeden’s struggles, coupled with a perceptible loss of faith by Cleveland’s offensive players, left Chudzinski with little choice but to start Campbell.

“It’s a tough decision,” Chudzinski said. “I believe that this is in the best interest of the team, ultimately, and gives us the best chance to win. I’m excited to see what Jason will do with this opportunity.”

Campbell is pumped, too.

But talk about a brutal assignment.

The undefeated Chiefs not only have one of the NFL’s top defenses — they lead the league with 35 sacks — but play in rowdy Arrowhead Stadium.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jason Campbell watches during an NFL football game against the Detroit Lions in Cleveland. Now Campbell, No. 20 in the starting quarterbacks parade in Cleveland, gets his chance.

“They are No. 1 in third down, No. 1 in the red zone and No. 1 in points allowed, so it is definitely a challenge,” said Campbell, who signed with the Browns as a free agent in March.

“Arrowhead is one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL, and that means even more we need to be on the same page.”

Weeden’s fate was sealed after Sunday’s 31-13 loss against the Packers.

He completed just 17 of 42 passes for

149 yards with one touchdown and one interception, a 48.6 rating. He dropped to 0-4 as a starter. His 66.5 rating is 30th overall, and he’s 32nd in completion percentage.

The second-year QB, who must have known his demotion was coming after Chudzinski failed to offer his support Monday, politely declined to speak with reporters at his locker.

“I’m not going today, guys,” he said.

Now, the question is whether Weeden, barring an injury, will ever play for Cleveland again.

Chudzinski said his decision to switch to Campbell was based on “consistency and production.” The nine-year veteran has made 71 career starts.

The coach would not commit to the 31-year-old Campbell beyond this week.

“I think that looking at Jason and the things that he brings to the table, leadership, his experience, he’s been productive and he’s been successful in the league,” Chudzinski said. “I think when you look at his arm strength and you look at his mobility and some of those things, and tie it into as far as a game plan standpoint, it’s what we feel like we need for this game and gives us the best chance.”

Cleveland fans have been clamoring for Weeden to be pushed aside, but Chudzinski said the lack of support was not a factor in making another change.

While Weeden’s demotion didn’t surprise many Browns players, wide receiver Davone Bess said blaming him for the team’s struggles isn’t fair.

“That’s the easiest thing to say, that something had to be done and we had to pretty much make a switch,” he said.

“We know we’ve got a lot of work to do and it’s not just one person, starting with Brandon. We all have some accountability to own up to, and that’s the nature of this business.”

NOTES: According to STATS, the Packers and Patriots have had a league-low three starting QBs since ‘99. The league average is 11.3. … WR Josh Gordon has grown tired of trade rumors. With the deadline set for 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Gordon wishes it was past. “I honestly wish if it was going to happen, I wish it would happen already instead of dragging on,” he said. “If a trade offer came in and that’s what the Browns want to do, so be it. If not, then let it be known this is where I’m going to be.” … Browns S Tashaun Gipson said he texted Packers TE Jermichael Finley, who suffered a bruised spinal cord in Sunday’s game on a hit by Gipson. “I just wanted to keep him in high spirits, wish him well, wish him a speedy recovery,” Gipson said.

Bengals’ Hawkins returns to practice

Visit us online at www.sidneydailynews.com

CINCINNATI (AP) — Bengals receiver Andrew Hawkins has returned to practice, starting a three-week window before the team must decide whether to return him to the active roster or leave him on injured reserve.

Hawkins severely sprained his left ankle while making a diving catch during training camp and went on injured reserve with a designation he could return midway through the season. He

was back at practice Wednesday.

The Bengals (5-2) have a two-game lead in the AFC North heading into their game Sunday against the New York Jets (4-3).

Hawkins played in 14 games last season and finished third on the team with 51 catches and 533 yards. Getting Hawkins back would give the Bengals another option in their already diverse offense.

What a Rebel

BY EMILY HOERSTEN For quite a long time, the Journalism class has been using a dinosaur of a camera to take pictures for this publication and the yearbook. That has all changed this year with the newest technology addition to the class.

Lehman’s Jostens representative Eric Howard was aware that the class did not have a quality schoolowned camera to use. Knowing that Jostens was initiating technology grants for qualifying schools, Howard made it his mission to obtain a new camera for Lehman.

At the end of last school year, the Journalism class received a Canon Rebel T3 camera. Journalism teacher Elaine Schweller-Snyder first used it at band camp, testing out the settings to prepare for the upcoming school year.

The members of the class were ecstatic to find what was waiting for them at the beginning of the y e a r .

Howard returned to Lehman to teach the students how to properly use the camera and which settings are preferred for various situations. In just two months, the camera has brought an abundance of high quality pictures for use in the Cavalier Crier newspaper and for the yearbook.

Each member of the class has had a chance to try out the new camera. Some are hesitant, for fear of somehow breaking it. For others, it has come natural.

Junior Journalism student Brooke Jones, who took photos at Homecoming with the new camera, said, “I feel like a professional when I use it.”

Another member of the class, senior Drew Westerheide said, “The pictures the camera takes have great quality and now we have the opportunity to take a bigger variety of pictures.”

With this new camera, it can be expected that the yearbook will contain even more pictures than previous years. The Journalism students are enjoying taking pictures and are excited for the student body to see the results in the Cavalier Crier and the 2014 Cavalcade.

Academia: where academics meets competition

BY DREW WESTERHEIDE Academia has been going on in the Shelby County area since the 1970’s and is a competition between the nine schools in the county to see who has the best knowledge, not just about school related topics but also topics in the world around us.

Academia consists of nine categories which are Literature, English, Fine Arts, Sports Entertainment and Leisure, US History and Government, World History and Geography, Current Events, Math, Science, and General Knowledge. The categories go in the order as they are listed above and each category contains six questions for each team. Schools are allowed four players per team, per category. The team is allotted five seconds to give an answer. If they answer the question correctly, the school gains a point. If they answer incorrectly, the school is not penalized and the match moves along to the next question. If the team does not give an answer in the five seconds, the next team is given the opportunity to steal the question.

After the six questions are completed, the category moves to the “Lightning Round.” This is when all four players are given a buzzer. The narrator reads a question and the first person who buzzes in and is identified can give the answer to the question.

The Lehman Academia squad is a good one, led by Advisor Joe Schmiesing. A 2000 Lehman graduate, Schmiesing was on the Academia team when he was in high school.

This year’s team includes seniors Allen Armstrong, Erick Collier, Bryce Eck, Joe Fuller, Micayla Hanover, Julia Harrellson, Katie Heckman, Rob Heckman, Grace Jackson, Allison Larger, Abigail Kramer, Kevin McElroy, Quinn Monnin, Morgan Neal, Josh Smith, Allie Sowers, Drew Westerheide, Grace Winhoven and Selty Zhong; juniors Katie Adams, Derek Gaier, Rachel Remencus, John Schmiesing and Dylan Sherman; sophomores Diana Gibson, Caroline Heitmeyer, Nick Neumeier, Emma Simpson and Avery Pickrel; and freshmen Blake Leffel, Jacob Schmiesing, Brandon Simmons, and Andrew Streng.

“We’re doing really well,” said senior Quinn Monnin, who is in his second year of Academia. “We have a strong and well-rounded team with a lot of big point categories.” First year member Josh Smith said, “I enjoy it. It is a cool way to show the random and not so random knowledge that we possess.”

“A lot of the students involved are in many other activities which makes it hard for them to devote time to the team,” said Schmiesing. “Yet we still perform at a very high level.”

The team is off to a great start this year and looks to keep the train rolling all the way through the month of October. Lehman will host a match in the Harriet Frantz gymnasium on Monday, October 28, so come out and match wits with the Academia team!

Ace of art BY: EMMA SIMPSON As you walk around Lehman, this year, you may notice an unfamiliar faculty member in the vicinity of the art room. This would be the new art teacher, Ms. Prenger.

This is Prenger’s first time teaching art, as well as her first experience at Lehman.

However, she is not new to the area as she grew up and went to school in Celina. She then studied art and graduated from St. Francis College in Ft. Wayne, Indiana.

Prenger teaches Art Fundamentals, Art History I and II, Studio Art, Drawing and Painting, Studio Art, and Graphic Design. Michael Reinhart, a senior, in Studio Art, thoroughly enjoys Prenger’s class “Ms. Prenger is a really good teacher and I really like taking Studio Art because I can be creative,” he said.

In addition to teaching all of the Art classes at Lehman, Prenger will also be an assistant coach for Lehman’s girls basketball team. She has been actively gathering players for this year’s squad and her enthusiasm for the sport should prove to be catching. Prenger is a fantastic addition and it will be great to see all that she brings to the Lehman community.

Girls the majority at most colleges DR. WALLACE: I am a healthy American teenage boy who enjoys the company of girls. I plan to attend college in September of 2014. I have a very good grade-point average and I’m confident that I can attend most any college or university in the country. I also believe that if a student is serious about his studies, he can get a good education in any college or university, so I’m not looking to go to Harvard, Yale or Stanford. I’m looking for a school that has the greatest percentage of female students. I don’t care where it is located.

The

downside will be that you will have to work extra hard to carry over that high grade-point average.

Those girls will prove to be formidable competition!

DR. WALLACE: I’m 18 and a recent high school graduate. I live at home with a physically abusive father (a wife beater) and a mother who drinks to escape from the abuse of my father. Fortunately, my father leaves me alone. He rarely talks to me, and when he does, it’s to complain about something. I am a server in a rather upscale restaurant and I earn enough to pay for my expenses with

a little left over for social events. Living at home is like living a nightmare.

Another server at the restaurant has a two-bedroom apartment and has offered to let me move in for $300 a month. I can afford that and am thinking seriously about taking his offer. The only thing that would bother me would be that I would be living with a guy, and a lot of people would take it the wrong way. This guy is nice, but I could never enter into a romantic relationship with him.

What should I do? — Sara, Rochester, N.Y. SARA: If you trust your co-worker and he under-

stands that there will be no relationship, then go ahead and rent the room.

Also, make clear that you will not be the cook/ housekeeper, but that you will keep your room neat and tidy up after yourself. You know right from wrong, so you need not worry about idle gossip.

Stay in close touch with your mother and do all you can to make her life more pleasant.

Spying

Heading to Georgia

Jason Alig | Sidney Daily News

Girl Scout Troop 20683 was one of the groups to set up a scarecrow display during a recent event in Anna. The Girl Scouts, who are planning a trip to Savannah, Ga., used their pending trip as the theme for their display.

Germany and the U.S., “there must not be such surveillance of a head of government’s communication,” Seibert added. “That would be a serious breach of trust. Such practices must be stopped immediately.”

Carney, the White House spokesman, said the U.S. is examining Germany’s concerns as part of an ongoing review of how the U.S. gathers intelligence.

The White House has cited that review in responding to similar spying concerns from France, Brazil and other countries.

U.S. allies knew that the Americans were spying on them, but they had no idea how much.

As details of National Security Agency spying programs have become public, citizens, activists and politicians in countries from Latin America to Europe have lined up to express shock and outrage at the scope of Washington’s spying.

Merkel had previously raised concerns over the

electronic eavesdropping issue when Obama visited Germany in June, has demanded answers from the U.S. government and backed calls for greater European data protection. Wednesday’s statement, however, was much more sharply worded and appeared to reflect frustration over the answers provided so far by the U.S. government.

Merkel called for U.S. authorities to clarify the extent of surveillance in Germany and to provide answers to “questions that the German government asked months ago,” Seibert said.

Overseas politicians are also using the threat to their citizens’ privacy to drum up their numbers at the polls — or to distract attention from their own domestic problems. Some have even downplayed the matter to keep good relations with Washington.

have a bearing on the serious obesity problem. — R.C. ANSWER: Brown fat is a metabolically active fat that was previously thought to exist mostly in babies.

However, some recent studies have shown that brown fat can become active in lower temperatures, burning off calories to keep us warm. Researchers are trying to find a way to use this discovery for weight loss.

Overweight people have little or no brown fat. It’s not clear to me whether the excess weight is because they don’t have brown fat, or the other way around. In any event, these findings about brown fat are interesting, but not yet of practical use against obesity.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been diagnosed with Holmes-Adie syndrome. I cannot find much information on this syndrome other than that it is rare, caused

by a virus or bacteria and affects the autonomic nervous system. What is the autonomic nervous system? Can you provide any information on this condition, if it will progress and what to expect? What kind of doctor treats it? — N.W. ANSWER: The Adie pupil, also called Adie’s tonic pupil, is found when the eye loses part of its nerve supply. This causes one pupil to be bigger than the other during light exposure but smaller than the other when looking at objects close up. An Adie’s pupil usually occurs without other problems in the autonomic nervous system, but it can occur alongside other problems, such as Ross syndrome, where the Adie pupil is associated with abnormal reflexes and partial loss of sweating. Syphilis causes a similar pupil, but on both sides, in which case a test for syphilis should be done.

––––– The officers of the Citizens National Bank at Piqua have been unable to gain access to their vault since last Saturday.

It was found on Monday morning , when an attempt was made to open the vault, that the time-lock failed to work and resisted every effort to open the massive doors.

An expert was called from Hamilton and he has been working ever since in an unsuccessful effort to open the doors.

75 years Oct. 24, 1938 Carl Custenborder, clerk of the Sidney Board of Education said today that the Sidney schools will remain open at least until Dec. 31. He stated that the local schools would be “cramped for money”, but he believed they would be able to operate until the close of the year anyway.

The statement was made in light of the announcement that Dayton schools would close for six weeks because of the exhaustion of operating funds. Similar problems are being faced by schools throughout the state, it was reported by E.N. Dietrich, state director of education.

––––– Sheriff Truman Pitts and Deputy Sheriff James Blackford went to Botkins last night on the report that Thomas Boltin, of Charleston, W. Va., wanted on a charge of forgery at Cambridge, had put in his appearance at the village. Boltin, also is a suspect in a filling station robbery, in which a man was killed, had been in Botkins with a street carnival.

Observing the sheriff and deputy on the street, approaching him, Boltin fled and is still at large.

50 years Oct. 24, 1963 Sidney today was named one of the finalists in the AllAmerican Cities contest, sponsored jointly each year by Look Magazine and the National Municipal League. The community will join 21 other U.S. cities competing next month in the final round for the coveted awards. For Sidney, it will mark the second time in eight years that the community has been among the 22 finalists in the annual contest. The city qualified in 1955, when the finalists were heard at Seattle, Wash. Sidney is the only city in Ohio to qualify for the finals this year.

––––– The weekly meeting of the Valley City Junior Rifle Club found Larry Richards pacing the junior marksmen with a 269 total in the second session of position firing for the season Wednesday at the Armory. Totaling a perfect 100 in the prone position, Richards followed with a 90 in kneeling and a 79 off-hand.

25 years Oct. 24, 1988 PEMBERTON — There’s not much left in Pemberton these days. Even the people who live there say so. But the unincorporated, eastern Shelby County community, which is located one-quarter mile north of Ohio 706 on TawawaMaplewood road is still home to nearly 300 people. Shirley Phelps, Pemberton postmaster and a longtime resident of the community, said the town has nine streets, about 280 people, and 87 post office boxes rented at the local post office.

There are about 50 to 55 houses in the community.

Very few people who live in Pemberton were born and raised here.

Pemberton was plotted on Jan. 24, 1852, and was named in honor of a brother of a General Pemberton who at the time the town was plotted was a civil engineer of the railroad that was being constructed through the town.

Odds and Ends SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — People who tried to complain about noise from a San Francisco marathon got an earful of racy language instead.

When they called the city’s 311 hotline to complain about Sunday’s Nike marathon, they were incor-

City officials now say they were given the wrong number and are investigating how the mix-up occurred.

The phone sex number and marathon number differed only in their prefix: 800 versus 866.

Greenville PD praised for recovery services PIQUA — The Greenville Police Department earned recognition for its commitment to mental health and recovery services training at the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Service’s Annual Meeting and Art of Recovery Showcase Wednesday at Edison Community College.

Each year since 2000, the Tri-County Board has recognized groups and individuals with the Geraldine B. Nelson Award for supportive measures on behalf of another, by promoting the recognition of consumer rights and encouraging positive change in the realm of mental health and addictions issues. The Greenville Police Department is the first department in the Darke, Miami and Shelby County service area to have 100 percent of its officers complete the Tri-County Board’s Crisis Intervention Team Training (CIT), which exposes law enforcement professionals to the mental health and addiction treatment and recovery services in the area.

Presenting the award was Tri-County Board Chairman Jason Wagner, of Versailles.

Wagner said, “For 2013, we recognize a group who have collectively and as individuals dedicated a significant portion of their professional lives to a deeper understanding of mental health and addiction, for the purpose of helping them be more effective in serving and protecting the community in which they live and work.”

“The CIT training helps law enforcement recognize and appropriately address issues related to mental health and addiction,” said Mark McDaniel, executive director of the Tri-County Board. “Officers are out there on the street and are often the first point of contact with the pub-

lic. The Greenville Police Department has demonstrated a tremendous commitment to understanding and applying their training in cases where mental health or addiction issues may be a factor.”

In accepting the award on behalf of the department, Greenville Police Chief Dennis Butts said, “We are grateful for any training that helps the department protect and serve the public. The CIT training has been very helpful, and it has helped foster a better sense of familiarity and trust between mental health services and law enforcement.”

McDaniel noted that Butts will be awarded the Ohio CIT Law Enforcement Administrator of the Year Oct. 28 at the statewide CIT conference in Columbus.

Also at the Annual Meeting, McDaniel honored Vickie Martin with the Director’s Award for outstanding service to the mental health and recovery services provider network, and McDaniel was recognized for 15 years of service to the Tri-County Board.

Art of Recovery is an annual showcase of local artists who create art to express their personal journeys through mental health and addiction recovery, or whose lives have been touched as a family member, friend or service provider.

More than 30 artists contributed nearly 100 pieces of artwork, poetry and music for the showcase, which was exhibited Wednesday in the Robinson Theater at Edison Community College’s Piqua campus.

Geraldine B. Nelson, for whom the advocacy award is named, was a longtime employee of the Tri-County Board and an ardent advocate for mental health services.
