No more trans fat in American diets MARY CLARE JALONICK WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Heart-clogging trans fats were once a staple of the American diet, plentiful in baked goods, microwave popcorn and fried foods. Now, mindful of the health risks, the Food and Drug Administration is getting rid of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left of them for good.

The agency will collect comments for two months before determining a phase-out timetable.

Condemning artificial trans fats as a threat to public health, the FDA announced Thursday it will require the food industry to phase them out. Manufacturers already have eliminated many trans fats, responding to criticism from the medical community and to local laws, Even so, the FDA said getting rid of the rest â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the average American still eats around a gram of trans fat a

Still, he says, the food â&#x20AC;&#x153;industry has demonstrated that it is, by and large, feasible to do.â&#x20AC;? Indeed, so much already has changed that most people wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice much difference, if any, in food they get at groceries or restaurants.

The case of a man accused of robbing a bank in downtown Sidney â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the second robbery of the same bank in the same month â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has been bound over to Shelby County Common P l e a s Court. I n Sidney Municipal C o u r t Tu e s d a y, Cromes J u d g e D u a n e Goettemoeller ordered the robbery case of Neil R. Cromes, 31, bound over after Cromes waived a preliminary hearing. Cromes remains in the Shelby County Jail. Oct. 26 about 11:34 a.m., the Sidney Police Department received a report of a robbery at US Bank, 115 E. Court St. Police were told the suspect had fled on a bicycle. Officers arrived at the bank and began an immediate search of the area. A short time later, Cromes was located in the 300 block of East Court Street and was taken in to custody without incident. It was at the same bank on Oct. 15 that a different man allegedly committed a robbery and also fled on a bike, only to be arrested a short time later. Trevor M. Newbauer, 39, 1527 E. Court St., has been indicted by a grand jury on a third-degree felony charge of robbery for that earlier crime.
Math, reading scores up, not enough Walmart honors vets KIMBERLY HEFLING AP Education Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sometimes the best isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good enough: Most American fourth and eighth graders still lack basic skills in math and science despite record high scores on a national exam. Yes, todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students are doing better than those who came before them. But the improvements have come at a snailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pace. The 2013 Nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Report Card released Thursday finds that the vast majority of the students still are not demonstrating solid academic performance in either math or reading. Stubborn gaps persist between the performances of
white children and their Hispanic and AfricanAmericavn counterparts, who scored much lower. Overall, just 42 percent of fourth graders and 35 percent of eighth graders scored at or above the proficient level in math. In reading, 35 percent of fourth graders and 36 percent of eighth graders hit that mark. Still, as state and federal policies evolve in the postNo Child Left Behind era, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school kids are doing better today on the test than they did in the early 1990s, when such tracking started, with more improvement in math than in reading. Students of all races have shown improvement over the years. The results come from the National Assessment

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s results, compared to results in 2011, show average incremental gains of about one or two points on a 500-point scale in math and reading in both grades, although the one-point gain in fourth grade reading was not considered statistically significant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every two years, the gains tend to be small, but over the long run, they stack up,â&#x20AC;? said Jack Buckley, commissioner of the Education Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Center for Education Statistics.
