Construction continues at the site of the future 311 Drafthouse on North Main Street in Piqua last week as owners work toward having the establishment open before year’s end.

Couple builds bar and downtown relationships Belinda M. Paschal Staff Writer bpaschal@civitasmedia.com

PIQUA — “If you build it, they will come.”

That mantra from the film “Field of Dreams” is the hope of Greg and Kathleen Wyatt, who are in the process of refurbishing a building at 311 N. Main St. for their “retirement project,” a bar called 311 Drafthouse. And they have a big field of dreams for the business, indeed.

tions of the Piqua code regarding construction requirements for subdivision improvements. A discussion on whether or not to adopt a resolution to apply for funding to aid in phase III of the County Road 25-A reconstruction project will be brought before commission by City Engineer Amy Havenar.

Havenar will seek authorization to submit an application to the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) to obtain $400,000 for new granular base, asphalt pavement, concrete curb and gutter, new storm sewer, and construction of a 10-foot wide multiuse path on County Road 25-A from Looney Road to east of Indian Ridge Drive.

Construction is due to begin summer 2015, with an estimated local share between $600,000 and $700,000.

Havenar also will discuss submitting an appli-

cation for funds through the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) for improvements to the Garbry Road/Looney Road intersection and a separate bike lane/pedestrian facility on East Ash Street or U.S. Route 36.

The Garbry Road/ Looney Road project, if adopted, would see to the conversion of the current four-corner intersection stop signs to a roundabout, along with reconfiguration of the area to allow for the new structure and appropriate signage. This project will include pedestrian and bicycle facilities near the roundabout, with the city to seek usage of CMAQ (Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality) funds through MVRPC. The East Ash Street bike lane/pedestrian facility project would establish a dedicated 10 foot wide pavement for users that would begin at the See COMMISION | 2

The building, which formerly housed Zender’s, boasts shabbychic brick walls and ample space perfect for dining, relaxing next to a faux fireplace or just bellying up to the bar. It wasn’t the first location the Wyatts looked at for their new business, but it turned out to be the right one.

“Piqua was the fourth or fifth town we looked at, but everything pretty much fell into place,” Kathleen Wyatt said. “Since coming here, the people have been so nice and Piqua has such a hometown atmosphere.”

Her husband added, “A lot of people go to Sidney and Troy to do things. We want them to stay here in Piqua instead.”

The couple resides in Xenia and hope to move to Piqua soon, but they already feel a sense of community and love for this town.

That’s why they intend for 311 to be a complement to the downtown business district rather than a competitor for other establish-

ments.

“We want to work with other businesses in the community rather than be rivals,” Kathleen said.

“So we’re working on building downtown Piqua relationships.”

To that end, she’s been busy doing lots of legwork to meet and greet other local businesspeople, as well as involve them in her plans for 311. In addition to talking to Kathy Sherman, president of the Piqua Area Chamber of Commerce, about a ribbon-cutting event, Kathleen has hopes of showcasing what other businesses have to offer once the bar is up and running.

“We would like to rotate artwork from the Piqua Arts Council and I’ve talked to Jordan Knepper (PAC executive director) about it,” she said.

Another idea involves a Kentucky Derby-themed day featuring big hats and spring ties — the whole nine ya rd s .

Couple From page 1 Kathleen and Greg would like to see customers patronize businesses like Barclay’s and Lovely Variety for their Derby duds.

“We also want to bring things in like a onestop wine tour, where we’d have wineries in the area showcase their products and the people of Piqua can come and sample them,” Kathleen said. “This could also get people interested in visiting the wineries themselves.”

There’s already lots of sweat equity built up in the bar for this pair of former aircraft mechanics who met while in the Air Force. But it’s a labor of love, which is why they commute daily after their civil service jobs at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base to spend hours working on the drafthouse.

Kathleen is the “creative brain” behind the bar’s design, Greg said, while he brings a

carpentry background to the venture, which comes in handy since they’re doing all but the electrical and plumbing work themselves.

As of last week, the building had been completely gutted, the floors leveled and the bar moved and rebuilt.

The Wyatts are hoping for a mid-November opening.

Rumors have circulated around town that 311 will be a brewpub and while the Wyatts do brew their own beer, it won’t be on the bar’s menu. “We’ll see how things go and maybe it will happen down the road, but for now, we’ll be featuring craft beers,” Greg said.

Greg and Kathleen plan to start interviewing potential staffers in the weeks to come.

Employment applications can be picked up at and returned to the Chamber of Commerce, 326 N. Main St.

Miami County Sheriff’s Deputies read Miranda rights to Marquis Purter, 26, of Dayton, as he is arrested for allegedly leading deputies and Troy Police on a chase with speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour on Saturday evening.

High-speed chase leads to arrest Mike Ullery

Staff Photographer mullery@civitasmedia.com

TROY – A Miami County Sheriff’s Office grant allowing additional deputies to provide traffic enforcement paid dividends on Saturday evening.

A deputy providing traffic blitz enforcement spotted a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed on Piqua-Troy Road around 5 p.m. When he attempted to make a traffic stop, the car, a sil-

ver Chevrolet, attempted to flee, southbound on Piqua-Troy Road.

As the chase approached the Troy corporation limits, speeds exceeded 100 miles per hour. The vehicle then made a left turn onto Stoneyridge Avenue, but speeds remained around 80 miles per hour.

As Troy police joined the pursuit, contact with the suspect vehicle was momentarily lost, but witnesses quickly informed officers where the vehicle had parked. The suspect

ran into an apartment at 1140 Stephenson Drive, Apartment E. Officers attempted to make contact with the suspect, but he refused to answer the door.

Deputies and Troy officers stood by for more than two hours while a search warrant was obtained to enter the apartment.

Around 8:30 p.m., officers made one more attempt to allow the suspect to open the door.

When he refused, entry was made through the

rear door.

Inside, officers found Marquis Purter, 27, of Dayton. While searching Purter, items relating to drug paraphernalia were found on his person.

Lt. Whaley of the sheriff’s office said that Purter is to be charged with speed, stop sign violations, fleeing and eluding for his alleged part in the chase.

Detectives were contacted to investigate further regarding the possible drug paraphernalia.

Xerox says access restored for food stamp users The Associated Press (AP) — Food stamp recipients should be able to use their debit-style cards in grocery stores, now that vendor Xerox Corp. has restored service after a system outage that affected people across 17 states.

People from Alabama to California found themselves temporarily unable to use their food stamp cards on Saturday morning, after a routine test of backup systems

by Xerox sparked technical problems that shut down the states’ electronic benefit transfer, or EBT, systems. Xerox said late in the evening that access was restored for all users.

“Restarting the EBT system required time to ensure service was back at full functionality,” spokeswoman Jennifer Wasmer said in an email.

An emergency voucher process was available in some of the areas while the problems were occurring, she said.

U.S. Department of Agriculture spokeswoman Courtney Rowe underscored that the outage was not related to the government shutdown.

Shoppers left carts of groceries behind

at a packed Market Basket grocery store in Biddeford, Maine, on Saturday because they couldn’t get their benefits, said shopper Barbara Colman, of Saco, Maine. The manager put up a sign saying the EBT system was not in use.

Colman, who receives the benefits, called an 800 telephone line for the program and it said the system was down due to maintenance, she said.

States affected by the temporary outage included Ohio, Michigan, Alabama, California, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia.

Ohio’s cash and food assistance card payment systems went down at 11 a.m., said Benjamin Johnson, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.

Johnson said Xerox asked retailers to revert to a manual system, meaning customers could spend up to $50 until the system was restored.

Illinois residents began reporting problems with their cards — known as LINK in that state — on Saturday morning, said

Januari Smith, spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Human Services.

Smith said that typically when the cards aren’t working retailers can call a backup phone number to find out how much money customers have available in their account.

But that information also was unavailable because of the outage, so customers weren’t able to use their cards.

In Clarksdale, Miss.

— one of the poorest parts of one of the poorest states in the nation — cashier Eliza Shook said dozens of angry customers at Corner Grocery had to put back groceries when the cards failed Saturday because they couldn’t afford to pay for the food. After several hours, she put a sign on the front door to tell people about the problem.

M i s s i s s i p p i Department of Human Services director Rickey Berry confirmed that Xerox, the state’s EBT vendor, had had computer problems.

“I know there are a lot of mad people,” Berry said.

Sheree Powell, a spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Department

of Human Services, started receiving calls around 11:30 a.m. about problems with the state’s card systems. More than 600,000 Oklahomans receive SNAP benefits, and money is dispersed to the cards on the first, fifth and 10th days of every month, so the disruption came at what is typically a high-use time for the cards.

Oklahoma also runs a separate debit card system for other state benefits like unemployment payments. Those cards can be used at ATMs to withdraw cash. Powell said Xerox administers both the EBT and debit card systems, and they both were down initially.

Powell said that some grocery store cashiers had been speculating that the federal government’s shutdown caused the problem, but state officials have been assured that that is not the case.

Powell said Oklahoma’s Xerox representative told them that the problems stemmed from a power failure at a data center. __

MIAMI COUNTY — Although it’s called the “men’s fall league,” the basketball league coming up at the Piqua and Robinson branches of the YMCA is actually coed.

“That’s not a problem at all.

We’ve had teams before that have had ladies on them,” said Jaime Hull, youth program director for the Miami County YMCA. The league will begin on Tuesday evenings beginning Nov. 8 at both the Piqua branch, 223 W. High St., and the Robinson branch, 3060 S. County Road 25-A, Troy.

The YMCA also is offering a corporate basketball league that will take place on Sundays beginning Nov. 10 at the Piqua branch. Corporations may enter a full team or may combine with another corporation.

A good turnout is expected for the leagues, as corporations have already started signing up, Hull said.

The season for both leagues consists of at least eight weeks of play, plus a championship tournament.

Registration for both leagues continues through Oct. 31.

The team registration cost for the men’s (coed) league is $275 if all players are YMCA members and $350 if there are non-members on the team.

Team registration for the corporate league is $400.

Edison nursing students recruit for CPS-3 PIQUA — As part of a community-teaching project, nursing students at Edison Community College are helping to raise awareness for the upcoming Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3). To help support this initiative, students held a kickoff event on Oct. 3 to inform the community about what the enrollment event aims to do.

Held at the Piqua campus, the event included prizes for participants who were able to throw a football 10 yards into a target.

“It’s interesting to learn about all of the positive links that have been identified to cause cancer,” said Katie Niswonger, a nursing student at

Edison. “The enrollment event is important for many reasons, one being patient education. It will help hospitals and patients recognize what’s causing cancer and, ultimately, teach them how to prevent the disease in the future.”

Other nursing students who participated in the informative community-teaching project included Tabitha Brewer, Jessica Kennedy, Kayla Mason and Cary Young.

To better understand ways to prevent cancer, the American Cancer Society is recruiting at least 300,000 men and women in the U.S. and Puerto Rico for a landmark new research

Dying man on gurney leads daughter down aisle CLEVELAND (AP) — A terminally ill Ohio man who arrived at his daughter’s wedding by ambulance gave her away, from a hospital gurney.

Guests cried and clapped as Scott Nagy took part in daughter Sarah’s wedding Saturday at First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Strongsville, The Plain Dealer of Cleveland reported.

A volunteer team of medical professionals helped Nagy escort the 24-year-old bride as groom Angelo Salvatore and the Rev. Chuck Knerem awaited their arrival.

“It was a promise I made in March, to walk her down the aisle,” said the 56-year-old Brunswick man. “She’s my princess. This is my definition of walking down the aisle.”

Nagy was diagnosed last year with urethral cancer and has undergone chemotherapy. He has been at University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center since

August.

Doctors were uncertain if he would be able to make the wedding, initially scheduled for next year. But with monitor cords slipped under his tuxedo and a tracheal tube attached, he made the trip down the aisle, kissing a grandson who was the ringbearer and giving a thumb’s up.

“There was no way he was not going to finish this out,” said his wife Jean.

Jacky Uljanic, a nurse practitioner with the hospital, helped make the arrangements for Nagy to attend the wedding.

She put him through daily therapy to build up his strength and she checked on the logistics in advance. Physicians Medical Transport donated the ambulance trip, and a doctor and other medical personnel accompanied Nagy on the ride.

Sarah said that since she was a little girl, she has wanted her father to escort her down

She said her future husband assured her she would get her wish.

At the vestibule, she burst

“It’s an adult trick-or-treat of sorts,” said DBA Director Amy Breinich. “You’ll get to stop in and socialize in a store you are familiar with or learn about an establishment you’ve never been in before. It’s also a great way to reacquaint yourself with Downtown Sidney, all while tasting yummy chocolates and spending time with friends.”

Boehner now says even if he has the votes, he will neither pass the budget nor raise the debt limit until Obama agrees to his party’s demands. (He calls it “a conversation.”)

Two hundred Democrats have said they’ll vote to fund the government without strings attached.

That means only 17 Republicans are needed to end this madness.

Independent news services have counted. The votes are there. It’s the democratic way to let the majority decide. But Boehner won’t permit the vote.

Boehner told his House conference that he won’t permit a default. That means Boehner knows and admits that he has the power to prevent a default. It starts with the House, and in the House it starts with the speaker. The government has ground to a halt, and the world is on the brink of financial instability because Boehner and the Republicans refuse to perform their constitutional duty — a duty they swore to uphold — in order to extort what they couldn’t win in a fair election.

We deserve better than a 19th-century melodrama, complete with robber barons. President Obama must work with responsible leaders in Congress to stop the endless budget brinkmanship. It’s past time that Washington, D.C. (and its leaders), focus on getting the American people back to work and to identify strategies to help rebuild our nation’s infrastructure. Can we do this and also focus on strategies to further reduce our deficit?

Of course we can. This isn’t about Obamacare.

It’s about our shared national interest, which should be a higher priority than petty partisan politics.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans are finding little they like about President Barack Obama or either political party, according to a new poll that suggests the possibility of a “throw the bums out” mentality in next year’s midterm elections.

The AP-GfK poll finds few people approve of the way the president is handling most major issues and most people say he’s not decisive, strong, honest, reasonable or inspiring.

In the midst of the government shutdown and Washington gridlock, the president is faring much better than his party, with large majorities of those surveyed finding little positive to say about Democrats.

The negatives are even higher for the Republicans across the board, with 4 out of 5 people describing the GOP as unlikeable and dishonest and not compassionate, refreshing, inspiring or innovative.

Negativity historically hurts the party in power — particularly when it occurs in the second term of a presidency — but this round seems to be hitting everyone. More people now say they see bigger differences between the two parties than before Obama was elected, yet few like what either side is offering. A big unknown: possible fallout from the unresolved budget battle in Washington.

“There needs to be a major change,” said Pam Morrison, 56, of Lincoln, Neb., among those who were surveyed. “I’m anxious for the next election to see what kind of new blood we can get.”

Morrison describes herself as a conservative Republican and said she is very concerned about how her adult children are going to afford insurance under Obama’s health care law. She places most of the blame for the shutdown on the president, but she also disapproves of the job Congress is doing. “I don’t think they’re working together,” Morrison said.

Suzanne Orme, a 74-year-old retiree and self-described liberal who lives in California’s Silicon Valley, says the shutdown is more the Republican Party’s fault. “The Republicans seem to be a bunch of morons who aren’t going to give in for anything. I just don’t get it with them. They are just crazy,” she said.

This undated photo released by Mankurt Media, LLC shows Roy Abramsohn as Jim freaking out during a ride in the amusement park on the last day of his family vacation in a scene from “Escape from Tomorrow,” a feature film by writer/director Randy Moore. As an adult, and a filmmaker, Moore wanted to capture and question the allure of manufactured-fantasy theme parks.

Director secretly shoots feature at Disney parks SANDY COHEN

AP Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES (AP) — As a kid, Randy Moore was haunted by Disney World, where he made an annual trip during summers with his dad. So as an adult, and a filmmaker, Moore wanted to capture and question the allure of such manufactured-fantasy.

The result is “Escape From Tomorrow,” which was shot guerrillastyle at Disneyland and Disney World without permission from the famously proprietary Walt Disney Co. “I was pretty confident that Disney wasn’t about to go out of their way and give me permission,” Moore said, “so I didn’t ask them for it.”

The writer-director insists there was no other way to tell his story of a frustrated family man who begins losing his grip on reality during

a trip to Disney World.

So Moore and his crew bought season passes to Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., and Disney World in Orlando, Fla., and used hand-held digital cameras to shoot scenes and tiny digital audio recorders to capture sound.

They repeatedly rode It’s a Small World and other trademark Disney attractions to film from various perspectives — just like any other theatrical feature.

“Escape Fro m Tomorrow,” available on video-on-demand and in select theaters Friday, first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, where the black and white film quickly built a buzz based on its unauthorized surreptitious shooting style and dark take on Disney.

Representatives from Disney, which has a history of aggressively protecting its image, brands

and intellectual property, did not respond to requests for comment for this story. The company also hasn’t spoken to Moore or the film’s distributor.

“We’ve had no contact with Disney at all whatsoever,” Moore said. But if anyone from the Mouse House, as it is known in the industry, did contact him, he wouldn’t be afraid.

“I would ask them if they liked it or what they thought about it,” he said.

The director was afraid, however, during the crew’s secret filming outings at Disneyland and Disney World, but not because they were filming illegally.

“What I was worried about was letting down my cast and crew, who had come on this ride with me,” he said. “As a first-time director, I think the hardest thing is getting everyone to see your vision and believe

in it and want to help you to achieve that.”

He never intended to make a guerrilla film, he said: “The style of the film came from the story, and … there was no other way we could make it. I hope to God the next thing I do doesn’t require this same style. It’s traumatizing.”

Yet for Moore, again, it’s not about copyright violations and the wrath of Disney, but rather the time limits inherent in such shooting.

“We believe that the film fell under the fairuse doctrine as a parody of an idyllic day at Disney World. Branding is so much a part of our culture, and it’s everywhere. And (Disney) is everywhere. They’re so ubiquitous, you can’t get away from them even if you tried… To not be able to comment or critique or parody that (ubiquity), I just think it’s morally unacceptable.”

A ‘Romeo and Juliet’ lacking passion JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer

It is surely a bad sign for any “Romeo and Juliet” when its most pulse-quickening moments come from Paul Giamatti.

This latest adaption of the Shakespeare tragedy of young love comes suited to times flush with teen romance, a reminder that before there were vampires and werewolves, there were Montagues and Capulets. Though Italian director Carlo Carlei keeps the film focused on the emotions, Hailee Steinfeld (“True Grit”) and the young British actor Douglas Booth don’t create any real passion in this earnest but bland production.

So it comes as little surprise that Giamatti, as Friar Laurence, simply steals every scene he’s in.

With exclamations like “Holy St. Francis!” he enlivens the movie such that you wish it would do away with those star-crossed lovers (what were their names?) and focus on the mischievous monk.

The screenplay has been adapted by Julian Fellowes, he of “Downton Abby” fame. Fellowes has kept the Shakespeare’s lyrical prose, but he does a lot of trimming and simplifying to hue close to the melodrama. As opposed

to Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 film, Fellowes aims generally at presenting a traditional, Verona-set “Romeo and Juliet,” more akin to Franco Zeffirelli’s 1968 version.

It’s an admirable purpose that pays off in one respect: the fine, stark settings of Renaissance-era Italy. Carlie shot in Verona and other Italian cities, and the effect is often painterly. (The period costumes by Carlo Poggioli are also sumptuous.)

But the approach also robs the adaptation of any urgency or reason for being. By staying fairly faithful to Shakespeare, only so much damage can be done (Joss Whedon’s “Much ado About Nothing” earlier this year got by with far less production value and just a touch of wit), but there is little intensity here.

The abridgement, too, is so much that Juliet feels like a supporting player to Romeo. Booth’s handsome features and full lips get plenty of appreciation, but one can’t help but wish for someone (like a young DiCaprio) with a little danger — a Romeo who doesn’t look like he’s about to stride down a catwalk.

But that’s symptomatic of the film altogether: pretty on the outside but lacking something more than a menagerie of lush brunette

heads. Carlei has a smooth touch, but it can grow suffocating, particularly with the omnipresent strings of Abel Korzeniowski’s score.

Many of the adults in supporting roles (Damian Lewis, Natascha McEhlone) give strong if brief performances. The most obvious misstep is the one-note rage of Ed Westwick as Tybalt.

Fall cleaning UTC Aerospace helps spruce up The Rec Melanie Yingst

Staff Writer myingst@civitiasmedia.com

TROY – With funding from community grants pouring in, The Troy Rec’s historic building went on a cleaning spree to help prepare for a flurry of remodeling set to take place in the coming weeks.

With help from the local community, more than 40 volunteers from the of UTC Aerospace Wheels and Brakes Division rolled up their sleeves and gave Troy Rec executive director Nicole Hanes and several Troy Rec teens a helping hand in the clean up efforts on Monday, Oct. 7.

Major remodeling of the the interior of the 72-year-old building, located at 11 N. Market St., will begin as soon as next week, Hanes said.

Hanes said Phase I of funding raising has been completed and Phase II funding is rolling in to help restore both the physical building and the Troy Rec’s mission of serving Troy children of all ages downtown.

Hanes’ face beamed with excitement as she listed off the numer-

ous grants the Troy Rec has received in the last year including a $35,000 Impact grant from United Way of Troy, $53,000 from the Troy Foundation and a $30,000 donation from the Acorn Society.

All funds will be matched, up to $125,000 by Thom and Pat Robinson.

“Oh, wow where do I start?” Hanes said, as several teens helped direct volunteers to areas that needed cleaned and furniture moved. “This whole process has been amazing and the kids are just so excited to know the community cares about this place.”

Hanes said the building is still active with the early childhood program in the upstairs facility, but the first floor youth and teen facility has been winding down due to the pending remodeling next week.

Yet, despite the ramped up efforts of the remodeling process, Hanes said some youth still are in need of the Troy Rec simply because its the only place for them to go after school is let out.

“We’ve still got kids coming in because they need this place,” Hanes said. “So we are putting

Marion’s named top Second Market On The Miami is Saturday independent pizza chain in nation Colin Foster

Staff Writer colinfoster@civitasmedia.com

The first annual Market On The Miami went well last year.

It was such a big hit, the local vendors wanted to bring the one-of-a-kind venue back for a second year.

“The nice thing about an indoor market like this is that no matter how the weather is, it doesn’t affect the experience at the market,” Market Manager Karen Purke said. “We have people not just from Troy, Piqua, Pleasant Hill, Dayton, Fletcher, Covington, Tipp City, Versailles and Anna. So we have a broad variety of vendors, who are coming from all over — and those vendors are offering a wide variety of goods.”

Market On The Miami, dubbed as a ‘local fall, winter and spring market,’ is a collaboration between local vendors who produce locally grown, homemade cottage foods, local noncottage foods, and artisan items. The vendors make the available on the second and fourth Saturdays

TROY — Its Troy location had a lot to do with Marion’s Piazza’s rise to the top.

For the best few years, Marion’s — which has nine locations throughout the Dayton area, including relatively new store in Troy — has ranked second in Pizza Today magazine’s Hot 100 Independents, which lists the top inde-

pendent pizza chains (nine stores or less) in the country. The rankings are based on gross sales.

This year, the Troy and Mason locations helped push the chain into the top spot. The Troy location opened in 2011, while the Mason location opened in 2012.

“Sure it did,” Marion’s president Roger Glass said when asked if the two new locations were the difference between being ranked first and

second. “It’s all based on gross sales. The past seven or eight years, we’ve been ranked No. 2. The two new stores we have added have been doing well. The Troy location has done a very, very good job.

Also, our seven original locations all have seen sales go up in the past year. All of our stores are having great years.

“Our customers are outstanding. We can’t thank them enough.

They are the ones who have made this happen.

We couldn’t have done this without them. We are truly honored to be named the No. 1 independent pizza chain.”

The honor came as a surprise, Glass said.

“We kind of found out by accident,” Glass said.

“We had been checking to see if we were going to be third, fourth or fifth this year — but hadn’t received word yet. Then we checked on pizzatoday.com and found out we were No. 1. We were so happy.

The kids were all so happy.”

Poll: Health exchange rollout gets poor reviews JENNIFER AGIESTA NANCY BENAC Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — The debut of the government’s health insurance marketplaces drew a huge audience — and underwhelming reviews.

Just 7 percent of Americans say the rollout of the health exchanges has gone extremely well or very well, according to an AP-GfK poll.

The reaction was somewhat better among supporters of the new health care law, but still middling: 19 percent said the rollout went extremely well or very well.

Among the uninsured — a key audience for the health exchanges — 42 percent said they didn’t know enough to judge how well the rollout had gone, suggesting an ongoing lack of awareness about the program in its early days.

Despite the bumpy rollout, plenty of Americans are giving the system a try.

Seven percent of Americans reported that somebody in their household has tried to sign up for insurance through the health care exchanges, according to the poll.

While that’s a small percentage, it could represent more than 20 million people.

Three -fourths of those who tried to sign up reported problems, though, and that’s reflected in the poor reviews.

George Spinner, 60, a retired government work-

er from Ruther Glen, Va., said he managed to create an online account and password before he got stuck.

“It kept telling me there was an error,” he said.

Reynol Rodriguez, a computer technician from San Antonio, said he was able to do some comparison shopping online but computer glitches kept him from signing up.

“I was very much looking forward to it,” said Rodriguez, 51. “That’s what this country needs — affordable health care.”

Rodriguez pledged to keep trying — just what President Barack Obama has been recommending to those who’ve run into trouble.

Count Janice Brown, a semiretired travel agent from Prather, Calif., among those who had a positive experience.

After some initial trouble on the website, she got through to a help line and downloaded an application to buy a plan for $1,500 a month for herself and her husband.

That’s $1,000 less than her current private plan.

“I’m thrilled,” said Brown, 61. “The coverage is better. It’s fantastic.”

Among those who’ve actually tested out the system, only about 1 in 10 succeeded in buying health insurance, the poll found. A quarter of those who tried to buy coverage weren’t sure whether they’d succeeded.

Overall, 40 percent of Americans said the

launch of the insurance markets hasn’t gone well, 20 percent said it’s gone somewhat well and 30 percent didn’t know what to say. Just 7 percent said the launch had gone “very well” or “somewhat well.”

Even among those who support the president’s health care overhaul law, just 19 percent think the rollout has gone extremely well or very well. Forty percent say it’s gone somewhat well, and 18 percent think not too well or not well at all.

The survey offers an early snapshot on use of the new health insurance exchanges set up by states and the federal government under Obama’s Affordable Care Act. Thirty-six states are using the federal government’s site, HealthCare. gov, which the Obama administration says has had millions of unique visitors. The administration has declined to release enrollment statistics, saying that will be done monthly.

White House senior communications adviser Tara McGuinness said the administration is working around the clock “to improve the consumer experience,” and she stressed that the poll was taken just six days into a campaign over the coming months to educate people about their options.

She added, “The overwhelming attention from millions of Americans checking out HealthCare. gov during the first few days is a good testa-

This photo provided by HHS shows the main landing web page for HealthCare.gov. The government’s new health insurance marketplaces are drawing lots of rotten tomatoes in early reviews. But people are at least checking the things out.

While that’s a small percentage, it could represent more than 20 million people.

ment to the interest of Americans in new affordable health options.”

The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that about 7 million uninsured people will gain coverage through the online insurance marketplaces next year, but the role of the markets is actually much bigger than that.

They were intended to be a 21st century portal to coverage for people who do not have access to health insurance on the job. And that includes insured people as well as the uninsured.

There are three big groups of potential customers for the markets: uninsured middle-class people who now will be able to get governmentsubsidized private cover-

age; people who currently purchase their own individual policies and are looking for better deals; and low-income people who will be steered by the marketplace to an expanded version of Medicaid in states that agree to expand that safety net program.

The Census Bureau has estimated that about 48 million Americans lacked coverage in 2012, or more than 15 percent of the population.

Starting next year, the law requires virtually all Americans to have insurance or face a tax penalty after a coverage gap of three months.

Opinions are sharply divided on the overall framework of the law: 28 percent of Americans support it, 38 percent

are opposed, and 32 percent don’t have an opinion either way, the poll found. When asked specifically whether the government should be able to require all Americans to buy insurance or face a fine, only about 3 in 10 Americans agreed, and 68 percent were opposed.

The AP-GfK Poll was conducted Oct. 3-7 using KnowledgePanel, GfK’s probability-based online panel. It involved online interviews with 1,227 adults. The survey has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points for all respondents. For results among the 76 respondents who attempted to use health insurance markets, the margin of error is plus or minus 13.5 percentage points.

Get covered by Valentine’s Day to avoid fines RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — You’ll have to get coverage

by Valentine’s Day or thereabouts to avoid penalties for being uninsured, the Obama administration confirmed Wednesday.

That’s about six weeks earlier than a March 31 deadline often cited previously.

The explanation: health insurance coverage typically starts on the first day of a given month, and it takes up to 15 days to process applications.

You still have to be covered

by March 31 to avoid the new penalties for remaining uninsured. But to successfully accomplish that you have to send in your application by the middle of February.

Coverage would then start on Mar. 1.

The Jackson Hewitt tax preparation company first pointed out the wrinkle with the health care law’s least popular requirement.

An administration official confirmed it. The official was not authorized to speak publicly and insisted on anonymity.

It’s the latest bit of confusion involving complex requirements of President Barack Obama’s health care law, known as the Affordable Care Act. Adjustments to the law have ranged from the momentous to the mundane. The biggest one was a one-year delay of a requirement that larger employers offer coverage, announced this summer.

More recently, the administration has postponed some Spanish-language capabilities of its enrollment website, as well as full functionality on the site small businesses use to sign up.

Brian Haile, senior vice president for health policy at Jackson Hewitt, said government agencies initially had different interpretations of the enrollment deadline. The Health and Human Services department, which is taking the lead in implementing the law, kept referring to a March 31 deadline. But

the Internal Revenue Service, which handles most of the financial aspects, suggested that the deadline had to be in February.

“There were inconsistencies,” said Haile, adding it took several inquiries by Jackson Hewitt over the last few weeks to clear up the uncertainty.

The health care law was designed to cover the uninsured through a mix of government-subsidized private insurance and a major expansion of the Medicaid safety net program.

The rollout of online insurance markets this month has been snarled by technical glitches that frustrated many consumers. Meanwhile, House Republicans are still pressing their demand for a delay of “Obamacare” provisions, if not its total repeal, as a condition for lifting the partial government shutdown now in its second week.

Starting next year, the law requires virtually all Americans to have insurance or face a tax penalty, triggered after a coverage gap of three months. The penalty starts as low as $95 for 2014, but escalates in subsequent years. There are exemptions for financial hardship and other defined circumstances.

The purpose of the penalty is to nudge as many people as possible into the insurance pool. That would help keep premiums in check, since the law also forbids insurers from turning away people with health problems.

Haile said an earlier enrollment deadline around Valentine’s Day may turn out to be a blessing in disguise for the administration, because it creates a natural opportunity to market to young, healthy people, whose premiums are needed to offset medical costs of older generations.

“When thinking about how to attract young people, a Valentine’s Day message may be very salient,” he said.

The administration says the deadline is actually Feb. 15, the day after Valentine’s Day. That’s close enough that the government might be able to make the pitch work.

Kenneth Bae, right, an American man detained in North Korea for the past 11 months, and his mother Myunghee Bae talk each other during their meeting at a hospital in Pyongyang Friday, Oct. 11, 2013. For the first time since he was sentenced eleven months ago to 15 years of hard labor in North Korea, the Korean-American Christian missionary and tour operator has had a visit today from his mother.

Mom visits American detained in N. Korea GENE JOHNSON Associated Press

SEATTLE (AP) — An ailing American who has been detained in North Korea for 11 months has had an emotional reunion with his mother for the first time since he was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor, the family said Friday.

Myunghee Bae was allowed into North Korea to see her son, Kenneth Bae, a Korean-American Christian missionary, at a hospital where he has been held since August.

Bae’s sister, Terri Chung, of the Seattle suburb of Edmonds, said Friday she had not yet spoken with her mother, but did hear from the Swedish ambassador in Pyongyang, who attended the visit. Photographs of the reunion depicted Bae, wearing vertical stripes of blue and white, embracing his mother and holding her hand.

“He said it was a very emotional meeting, that they had a reunion and that Kenneth did look better from when he was hospitalized on Aug. 9,” Chung said.

Kenneth Bae, a 45-year-old tour operator and Christian missionary, was arrested last November while leading a group of tourists in the northeastern region of Rason. The government accused him of subversive acts.

He was transferred over the summer from a prison camp, where he largely farmed vegetables, to the hospital because he had lost more than 50 pounds. He also suffers from diabetes, an enlarged heart, liver problems and back pain, his family has said.

The ambassador reported that Bae has regained about 15 pounds since being hospitalized, Chung said.

“The rest he’s been given must be helping,” Chung said.

Though comforting, the visit did not necessarily give the family any greater hope that Bae might soon be freed: “We can only hope,” Chung said.

Bae is a U.S. citizen but had been living in China for the past seven years.

A report by a Japan-based media outlet affiliat-

ed with North Korea, the Choson Sinbo, said Bae and his mother met for 90 minutes. As soon as she entered the room, she hugged Bae and wept.

Bae talked to the ambassador first and then met his mother, the report said. She had been met at the airport Thursday by the Swedish ambassador, who serves as a liaison for U.S. matters in North Korea because the U.S. does not have an embassy there.

In a video statement before she left, Myunghee Bae, of Lynnwood, Wash., said her heart “was broken into pieces” when a prison interview with her son surfaced in July, because he looked so different. Her trip was expected to last five days.

“I want to see him and comfort him and hold him in person,” she said. “I miss him so much.”

Bae is at least the sixth American detained in North Korea since 2009. The others eventually were allowed to leave without serving out their terms, some after prominent Americans, including former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, visited North Korea.

Analysts suggest North Korea has used detained Americans as bargaining chips in a standoff with the United States, which long has pressed Pyongyang to abandon a nuclear program estimated to have a handful of crude atomic weapons.

Recent attempts by the U.S. government to free Bae have come up short. In late August, North Korea rescinded its invitation for a senior U.S. envoy to travel to Pyongyang to seek his release.

Bae, a father of three, was born in South Korea and immigrated to the U.S. with his parents and sister in 1985. He later moved to China, and a couple of years ago began leading small tour groups, mostly of American and Canadian citizens. He led the groups into a “special economic zone” designed to encourage commerce in Rason.

Several years ago, Bae gave a sermon in which he advocated bringing Americans to North Korea for a mass prayer session to bring about the reunification of North and South Korea.

IN BRIEF

Stone saves big play for last

n Keselowski gets win at Concord CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — It was just another surreal moment in this disappointing season for defending champion Brad Keselowski.

He pulled away from his pit stall with his jack planted underneath his car. The jack clattered and clanged as Keselowski dragged it around the track for what should have been one race-ruining lap around Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Instead, Keselowski finally caught a break.

A late caution — one that ruined Jimmie Johnson’s shot at a record seventh Sprint Cup Series win at Charlotte — gave Keselowski the chance to make an electric final dash to the finish and end a 37-race losing streak Saturday night. It gave the reigning champ his first victory of the season in a year in which he’s challenged for victories, but for one reason or another couldn’t close the deal.

n Tigers blank Red Sox BOSTON (AP) — The highest-scoring team in the majors got its only hit with one out in the ninth inning.

Tough for the Boston Red Sox to win a game like that.

Daniel Nava’s clean single to center field broke up the Detroit Tigers’ bid for the third no-hitter in postseason history but couldn’t spark a rally as the Red Sox lost 1-0 in Game 1 of the AL championship series Saturday night.

Game 2 is Sunday night, with Max Scherzer pitching for Detroit against Clay Buchholz.

The Red Sox tied the major league postseason record for a nine-inning game by striking out 17 times against Anibal Sanchez and four relievers.

They did draw six walks — all against Sanchez, who left after six innings and 116 pitches. He also threw two wild pitches.

n Cards silence Dodgers again ST. LOUIS (AP) — Rookie Michael Wacha pitched into the seventh inning with zero margin for error and the St. Louis Cardinals silenced the Los Angeles Dodgers for the second straight day, winning 1-0 Saturday for a 2-0 lead in the NL championship series.

The Cardinals managed only two hits off Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers, but Jon Jay’s sacrifice fly set up by A.J. Ellis’ passed ball in the fifth stood up.

The Dodgers’ scoreless streak in the NLCS reached 19 innings. Rookie fireballer Trevor Rosenthal struck out the side in the ninth with a heater reaching 101 mph, fanning pinch-hitter Andre Ethier on three pitches to end it.

Lady Cavaliers gain momentum Lehman blanks Piqua girls 6-0

Sports Editor rkiser@civitasmedia.com

SIDNEY — The Lehman and Piqua girls soccer teams were looking for a springboard into sectional tournament play in the regular season finale at Lehman High School.

Lehman got exactly what it wanted — in an impressive 6-0 win over the Lady Indians.

And as the score would indicate, Piqua did not.

Lehman jumped on Piqua early and never let up — scoring four goals in the first 28 minutes and adding two more

in the second half.

“I thought we really played well,” Lehman coach Tony Schroeder said. “Piqua is a good team and we love playing them. I don’t know if I would say I expected this. But, we had a lot of shots against Piqua last year (in a Piqua win) that didn’t go in. That is what can happen in soccer.”

Lady Cavs, Vikings coast to wins Houston spikers gets past National Trail TROY — The Lehman volleyball team opened Troy D-IV sectional tournament play with a 25-12, 25-12, 25-14 win over Covington Saturday.

Lehman, 15-8, will play Troy Christian at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.

“It was a good way to start the tournament,” Lehman coach Greg Snipes said. “Everybody was pretty balanced.”

Ellie Cain had eight kills and 22 assists; while Olivia Slagle pounded 11 kills.

Erica Paulus had six kills, seven digs four blocks and five aces; while Sidney Chapman had five kills.

Madeline Smith had 13 assists, Michelle Durtisch had four kills and Marianne Hissong had three kills.

East spikers roll BROOKVILLE — Miami East probably

didn’t need to face Dunbar in the opening round of the Division III sectional tournament last year on its way to a second straight state championship.

Entering the sectional as a No. 2 seed this season, the Vikings probably didn’t need to face No. 13 Northridge in the first round at Brookville, either.

But Miami East volleyball coach John Cash doesn’t take any chances — and his Vikings didn’t take any prisoners Saturday in a 25-1, 25-6, 25-4 rout.

“It was good to get in the gym and get acclimated,” Cash said. “It’s a little darker gym, there’s a net system that goes all the way up to the ceiling — there’s some stuff to get used to in there.

That’s why we play the first round. We could’ve

taken a bye, but we didn’t.

We just treat it like any other game at this point in the year.”

It was also a chance for the Vikings to work on perfecting their offense — which only made 11 errors in the entire match.

“They didn’t earn a point. All of theirs were errors,” Cash said. “To have 86 points and only make 11 errors, that’s not bad.

“We got everyone some playoff experience in a different kind of environment. Everything worked out pretty well.”

Kara Nuss led the Vikings with 10 kills, Ashley Current had six kills, a dig and 11 assists, Trina Current had four kills, three aces and a block, Allison Morrett had four kills, Sam Cash had three kills, five aces, a dig and 15 assists, Emma Monnin had three kills,

Angie Mack had two kills, eight aces and a dig, Kati Runner had two kills and five assists, Lindsey Black had a kill and an ace, Marley Roberts had three aces and Anna Kiesewetter had an ace.

throughout. The Cavaliers got on the board first with less than 8 minutes remaining in the first half . Rob Heckman gathered in a way ward ball and drilled it into the back left of the net for a 1-0 Lehman lead.

The Bulldogs scored with 11 minutes to go in the game on a William Heisey goal.

“We played well at times today,” Lehman coach Tom Thornton said.

“There were a lot of positives. Now we have to get ready for the tournament.

We have got to find away to score more and take the pressure off of our defense.”

The Bulldogs out shot Lehman 13-10. Lehman keeper Nick Earhart had 12 saves.

The Cavaliers finish with a 5-6-3 record as they head to tourney action Saturday against a team

and a time to be determined.

“This has been a tough 72 hours,” Loisy said. “The Troy loss was a tough one.

We had a meeting about how we were going to handle it. I thought we were ready, but obviously we weren’t. Our heads were not in the game today. This score in know way reflects what this game should be — especially from our team.”

And, while there is no denying Lehman had a

good game on offense — it was the defense of a Piqua team with several dangerous weapons that impressed Schroeder the most.

The Lady Cavaliers finished the regular season 13-1-1 — allowing just five goals all season. Grace Frantz, who had five saves, recorded her 11th shutout of the season.

“I know we had a good day on offense,” Schroeder said.

“But, our defense was just outstanding. Jordi Emrick and Karly Baird again did a great job and McKenna Guillozet is a star back there. They have done it all season.”

Jenna Kronenberger found the net first, just 4:45 into the game — off an assist from Madeline Franklin and Lehman continued the pressure throughout the first half.

In the second half, Franklin followed a shot from Lauren Goettemoeller and the final goal came on a corner kick.

Goettemoeller headed it to Hannah Fogt — who headed it into the goal.

“The first goal was a tough one and I didn’t see the PK that way — but it was still just 2-0,” Loisy said. “We have to be able to respond.”

Lehman had 15 shots on goal to Piqua’s eight. Lady Indians keeper Reynna Lavey had five saves.

Lehman will host Triad at 5 p.m. Thursday in D-III sectional action.

“We played well today, but we have some tough games ahead, so we have to be ready,” Schroeder said.

Piqua, 10-5-1, will host Fairmont at 7 p.m. Monday in D-I sectional action at Wertz Stadium.

“I still have faith in these girls,” Loisy said. “I know they will be ready.”

Browns in control for half CLEVELAND (AP) — The Lions were lifeless and listless at halftime.

Matthew Stafford snapped his teammates out of its strange funk just in time.

Stafford threw three of his four touchdown passes in the second half, rallying Detroit to a 31-17 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

The Lions (4-2) outscored the Browns 24-0 in the second half, sealing their win when Stafford hooked up with tight end Joseph Fauria with 2:01 left. Fauria caught three TD passes for the Lions, who played like a completely different team in the second half after being dominated up front and trailing 17-7 at half.

The Browns (3-3) had

their chances at a comeback end when quarterback Brandon Weeden’s baffling shovel pass with 4:36 left was intercepted by linebacker DeAndre Levy.

Lions running back Reggie Bush finished with 135 total yards, 121 in the second half. At halftime, Bush had touched the ball just seven times.

But Stafford went to the versatile back whenever he needed a big play.

Stafford finished 25 of 43 for 248 yards. He completed eight passes to wide receiver Kris Durham, who took over as Detroit’s top target with superstar Calvin Johnson not himself with a balky right knee. Johnson, who missed last week’s loss at

Green Bay, had 3 catches for 25 yards.

Weeden, making his first start since Week 2, finished 26 of 43 for 292 yards, but will be remembered for his ill-advised pass when Cleveland was driving for a possible tying touchdown.

Trailing 24-17 and at Detroit’s 44 with a first down, Weeden was pressured. Instead of throwing the ball away or taking the sack to keep the drive going, Weeden tried a pitch to fullback Chris Ogbonnaya near the sideline and was picked off by Levy.

It was another poor decision by Weeden, the second-year QB thrust back into the starting lineup after Brian Hoyer

Dalton gets back in groove ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton rediscovered his groove on the road.

And kicker Mike Nugent regained his aim when in counted in overtime.

After missing wide right from 34 yards in the third quarter, Nugent hit a 43-yard field goal with 6:44 left in OT to seal a 27-24 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Brandon Tate’s 29-yard punt return to the Bills 33 set up the decisive score as Cincinnati

improved to 16-11-1 in overtime games, and snapped a six-game losing streak at Orchard Park, dating to 1985.

Andy Dalton went 26 of 40 for a season-high 337 yards, with three touchdowns and an interception. He bounced back after a two-game touchdown drought, and led the Bengals (4-2) to their first road win of the season after losing their first two away from Cincinnati.

The Bills (2-4) were led

by quarterback Thad Lewis, starting in place of injured rookie EJ Manuel. Lewis went 19 of 32 for 216 yards and two touchdowns after being promoted off the practice squad last week.

Both touchdown passes came in the fourth quarter, including a 40-yarder to Marquise Goodwin with 1:08 remaining.

Lewis also scored a touchdown rushing in making only his second career start. But not all the news was good for Lewis, who

sustained a season-ending knee injury against Buffalo on Oct. 3.

Stafford made all the right moves in the second half. He was 15 of 21 for 165 yards and three TDs in the final 30 minutes.

Detroit’s defense stiffened after halftime and limited the Browns to 6 yards and no first downs in the third quarter.

Fauria’s second TD reception, a 23-yarder early in the fourth quarter, gave the Lions a 21-17 lead. Fauria got behind linebacker Craig Robertson and made a leaping catch in traffic just inside the goal line before celebrating with a dunk over the goal post.

Fauria has seven receptions this season, four for

TDs. Stafford’s 18-yard TD pass to Bush had pulled the Lions within 17-14 in the third. Bush’s score capped a 79-yard drive for the Lions, who gained just 109 yards in the first half.

The possession began with Bush dropping a short pass, but he more than made up for it with his catch and darting run.

Weeden threw two short TD passes and Billy Cundiff kicked a 40-yard field goal with 8 seconds left as the Browns, using a balanced attack, scored 17 unanswered points in the second quarter to build their 17-7 halftime lead.

Weeden shook off his first interception in 111 passes and threaded a 2-yard scoring pass

to Greg Little, giving Cleveland a 14-7 lead.

The Lions gave the right ball right back, going three-and-out and taking just 26 seconds off the clock before punting.

Weeden’s 36-yard pass to Josh Gordon helped set up Cundiff’s kick.

The Browns racked up 115 yards rushing — 45 on Travis Benjamin’s end-around — in the first half as Cleveland’s offensive line surprisingly dominated Detroit’s notorious defensive front.

After falling behind 7-0, the Browns tied it 7-7 on Weeden’s 4-yard pass to Ogbonnaya.

Stafford’s 1-yard TD pass to Fauria had given the Lions a 7-0 lead.

Bengals outlast Bills in OT said he was diagnosed after the game with a sprained foot. He expects to be able to play next week at Miami.

If he can’t, the Bills would have to turn to another practice squad player, Dennis Dixon, who was signed Tuesday. Buffalo has only one other quarterback on its roster, undrafted rookie Jeff Tuel, who struggled filling in for Manuel in a 37-24 loss at Cleveland.

Lewis still produced a near-stunning comeback in rallying the Bills from

a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit.

The comeback began five minutes into the fourth quarter, when Lewis found tight end Scott Chandler for a 22-yard touchdown pass on fourth-and-8. His next touchdown pass was equally impressive. After hitting Chandler for a 25-yard gain over the middle, Lewis connected with Goodwin on the run in the end zone, a step ahead of cornerback Terence Newman.

It was an unlikely per-

formance by a relative unknown at quarterback against a defense that ended Tom Brady’s consecutive-game touchdown streak at 52 in 13-6 win over New England last weekend. In its three previous wins this season, Cincinnati’s defense limited Brady, Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers and Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger to a combined 64 of 118 for 692 yards, with two touchdowns and four interceptions.

ROB KISER Sports Editor

rkiser@civitasmedia.com Piqua senior linebacker Dom Stone made a number if big plays in the second half of the Indians 46-17 win over rival Sidney Friday night at Alexander Stadium/Purk Field.

He had a sack on fourth down (giving Piqua the ball), intercepted a deflected pass and returned a fumble for a touchdown.

But, all that paled in comparison to what Stone did after the game.

On "Think Pink" night, 11-year old Favorite Hill student Mickayla Nelson — who suffers from a rare form of cancer — was honored during a timeout in the second quarter.

After the game, Stone presented her with the gloves he wore during the game, signed with his name and number 40.

"I am good friends with her sister and have known Mickayla (Nelson) for a long time," Stone said.

"She did (motivate him during the game). I decided after the game to give her the gloves."

The significance of the event — and the entire night — was not lost on Piqua first-year athletic director Chip Hare.

"It says something about Dom (Stone), but it also says something about the entire student body here at Piqua," Hare said.

"Heidi Strevell and Connor Brown did a great job spearheading this, along with Mr. (Chad) Haem-

Mickayla Nelson had a night she won’t soon forget Friday night. merle.

"It was great to see all the pink out there. When Mickayla (Nelson) came off (after being honored), all the cheerleaders stopped her to have their picture taken with her. I will tell you this. This is a night Mickayla will never forget."

The event raised more than $1,000 dollars in the fight against cancer.

"We raised $1,100 dollars," Hare said. "We sold 600 long-sleeve shirts in three weeks. The original order was for 200 shirts."

And it was clear from the start, that the Piqua football team was very involved in the event.

"The players had pink wristbands and I even saw some with pink tape," Hare said. "The student body was very engaged in this event. And I have to give coach (Bill) Nees a lot of credit. He encouraged his players to be involved in this. Piqua kids are great kids and you could see that Friday night."

■ It may go down as a two-point conversion, but Tate Honeycutt's run off a

bad snap on a PAT Friday night may go down as one of the most electrifying 1.5 yard runs ever.

After making the decision to run, Honeycutt (the holder) retreated to the 20-yard line.

After leaving nearly every Yellow Jacket in his wake, he finished with a dive into the end zone.

"I think there were four guys who couldn't get up (after the play)," Piqua coach Bill Nees said. "Two of them were laying on the field gassed. That was something."

■ Piqua running back Trent Yeomans continues to put up yardage in a pinball like fashion.

He has now rushed for 770 yards in the last three games, with five runs of more than 50 yards.

"They can key on me all they want," Yeomans said.

"Our line, receivers and backs are still going to block them. I would say I have a lot of confidence (running the ball). I never expected anything like this."

■ Quarterback Dan Monnin quietly had another solid game — and more importantly taking care of the ball.

Monnin, aided by a spectacular catch by Colton Bachman that set up Piqua's first touchdown with a defender

draped all over him, threw for 170 yards and the Indians had no turnovers to Sidney's four.

Along with Stone's fumble recovery and interception, Alex Nees and Andrew Lee both had picks as Piqua recorded a shutout in the second half against Sidney.

■ With nine minutes to go in the game, Sidney had run only 13 plays in the second half — three that resulted in turnovers.

"We knew we had to play better," Stone said about the halftime talk.

"We came out and played like we can."

Then, Stone made the most memorable play of the night — and gave Nelson the perfect ending to a night she will never forget.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good day to make practical plans, especially those related to shared property, inheritances and anything you own jointly with others.

(This includes debt.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Someone older or more experienced might give you good advice today.

Quite likely, you will meet this person in a group situation. (Hey, it never hurts to listen.)

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) People in authority will respect your ideas today regarding long-range plans or cost-cutting. Because you sound practical and realistic, others will listen to you.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is an easy day to study if you have to learn anything. You can make headway in writing as well as making future travel plans. Someone older might have a good suggestion.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Take a look at your financial scene.

Figure out what bills you can pay today and what you own and what you owe. Get a clear picture of your financial landscape.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Practical discussions with partners and close friends will yield some solid results today. People are in a serious frame of mind and ready to accept new ideas and solutions.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Do some planning regarding your job and possibly regarding your health today. Whatever you come up with will be an improvement. Try it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Parents and educators can sit down today to make plans about the welfare of children. Others might make future plans about a vacation -- for example, how to save for one.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Pick the brains of an older relative or someone more experienced today regarding family matters or how to secure your home. People are in a practical frame of mind (including you).

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is an ideal day to apply yourself to mental tasks. You have excellent concentration, and you will not overlook details.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You might see better ways of handling your money or better ways of earning it. If shopping today, you won't buy frivolous items. You will want only practical things that last for a long time.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a good day to make plans for further education or anything related to publishing, the media, medicine and the law. You want results in the future.

YOU BORN TODAY You are knowledgeable. You have a wide variety of interests that you like to research.

You often are a key player in your circle of friends, a role you comfortably welcome because you're a natural leader. At times, you are outrageous, which others find entertaining. Work hard to build or construct something this year because it matters.

Birthdate of: Mira Nair, director/producer; Mario Puzo, author; Friedrich Nietzsche, philosopher.

Furloughed workers pinching pennies, volunteering RUSS BYNUM Associated Press

(AP) — They’re experienced research engineers and park rangers still in college, attorneys who enforce environmental regulations and former soldiers who took civilian jobs with the military after coming home from war.

And all of them have one thing in common: They were sent home on unpaid furlough last week after a political standoff between the president and Congress forced a partial shutdown of the federal government. More than 800,000 federal workers were affected at first, though the Pentagon has since recalled most of its idled 350,000 employees.

What these sidelined government employees are doing with their spare time varies as widely as the jobs they perform.

Some are tightening their budgets at home, watching what they spend on food and other necessities, fearing it could be weeks before they earn another paycheck. Others are having a tough time keeping their workplace projects shelved and agency emails unread.

While Congress and the White House work on a deal to ensure furloughed workers receive back pay once the shutdown ends, some expenses can’t be put off, whether it’s replacing a broken furnace for $6,500 or buying diapers for a baby due before the month ends.

Here are the stories of just a few of the government workers directly affected by the shutdown. ___ As the government shutdown began its second week, Donna Cebrat was focused on stretching each dollar of her savings under the assumption she might not be able to return to work for a month or longer.

“Instead of having a dinner, I’ll have a bowl of cereal. Maybe for dinner and lunch. Or maybe I’ll go down to McDonald’s for a hamburger off the dollar menu,” said Cebrat, 46, who works for the FBI at its office in Savannah, Ga. “Lots of budget cuts. Not that I was living extravagantly before.”

Cebrat makes her living processing requests for public access to FBI records made under the Freedom of Information

Act. She lives alone in a middle-class suburb and estimates the money in her savings account could last her anywhere from two to six months.

She checks headlines for any news on negotiations between the president and Congress, but said she avoids reading full stories or watching shutdown reports on TV that would only bring her down further.

“I don’t need to see the name-calling,” Cebrat said. “I just need to see the headline.”

Otherwise Cebrat has spent her days sanding and repainting her bathroom walls — a new tub, toilet and vanity will have to wait until next year — and taking walks in her neighborhood. She’s avoided trips to the mall or the movies. ___ Catherine Threat sat at the bar, typing a note to her friends on Facebook.

“How do I serve my country from this barstool in the only restaurant in this tiny town outside a training base that is mostly shut down?” she wrote.

The 40-year-old staff sergeant in the Army Reserve returned from Afghanistan in July, taking a civilian job at Fort McCoy in central Wisconsin.

Then, last week, she and most of her colleagues were furloughed — a maddening existence for a woman who isn’t used to sitting still for very long.

So she headed to Chicago to help fellow veterans patrol the streets to help keep school children safe. It wasn’t much different from the foot patrols she did during her three years in Afghanistan.

Foot patrols there created a presence, built bonds and deterred violence.

“That’s what we’re doing here, too,” she said as she stood with other veterans outside an elementary school in a neighborhood that has had gang violence and other crime.

The assignment was short-lived.

Threat was called back to Fort McCoy, along with hundreds of other civilian employees.

She didn’t see the recall as a victory “because there are still a lot of people out of work” because of the shutdown.

But either way, she was grateful for the chance to serve in Chicago.

“Sometimes, I think this has almost been better for me. I’ve gotten more out of it than I’m contributing,” she said, quietly monitoring children walking by her.

“But hopefully, I contributed something.” ___ Jonathan Corso sat at his dining room table, the signs of a terrible week all around him.

At his feet, his family’s beloved dog, Dixie.

The sad-eyed, 14-year-old spaniel/mutt has terminal cancer and the day before had been given only about a month to live.

Under his feet, the banging of workmen installing a new $6,500 furnace at his Decatur, Ga., bungalow after the old one broke.

And there was Corso, home at 9:30 on a Friday morning.

He would normally be at work at the Atlanta regional office of the Economic Development Administration, a small federal agency that provides help and construction grants to industrial parks, colleges and local governments.

Corso, 44, and his wife, Liza, who works at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, were both furloughed.

In recent years, their federal jobs seemed stable while people working in state and local government and many private companies saw wage freezes or layoffs.

But now this.

The couple has savings, and they and their 7-yearold son should be fine financially for a while.

There have been a few silver linings: The couple went to lunch together on a weekday. Corso, a marathoner, began his daily 10-mile run at 6 a.m. rather than his more onerous 4:45 a.m. usual start time. That allowed him to stay up one night to watch a baseball game.

“We’re trying to make the best of it right now,” Corso said. ___ Rob Howard has been working through the shutdown, but not at his day job as an information technology specialist for the federal Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency, which oversees people on probation and supervised release.

Instead, he’s volunteer-

Army Reserve Staff Sgt. Catherine Threat watches students as they arrive at Courtenay Elementary Language Arts Center in Chicago. The Wisconsin veteran hasn’t let the federal shutdown shut her down. Since returing from active duty in Afghanistan in July, she’s been in the Army Reserve and working as a civilian at Fort McCoy in central Wisconsin — until last week when she was furloughed.

Rather than sitting around, Threat decided to volunteer for a veteran patrol for the Chicago Public Schools “safe passage” program. As part of the effort to keep students safe while traveling to school, the veteran branch of the program is coordinated by the group No Veteran Left Behind.

ing for So Others Might Eat, a Washington organization that serves meals to the poor and homeless.

On Oct. 4, he was a coffee server. Two days later, he washed dishes after lunch.

“I just want to keep busy during this time,” said Howard, 45, who lives in Upper Marlboro, Md. He has also gotten work done around his house, finally finding time to redo the floor in an upstairs bathroom. He took out the old linoleum and put down some black and white tile, which he said sat in his garage “forever.”

Howard also spent time cleaning.

“I could probably have a party at my house right now because it’s spotless,” he said.

One day he made two trips to the gym.

“I can’t stay idle too long or I’ll lose my mind,” he said. ___ Darquez Smith found himself furloughed from his job with the National Park Service just as his fiancee is due to give birth to their daughter later this month.

Smith, 23, of Xenia, Ohio, is spending his time off looking for a new job. Working as a park ranger at the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park, which tells the story of the Wright brothers, is his only source of income.

“Mentally, it’s definitely no fun at all,” said Smith, who has an interview

lined up with a company next week. “It’s never fun to be out of work and not have the ability to go to work, and still have bills to pay.”

Smith said he’s looking for work in information technology and is pursuing an IT degree at Central State University.

By the time rent is due Nov. 1, Smith said he’ll need to be back at his Park Service job or have found other work. Utility bills and car insurance will soon follow, along with the added costs of raising a newborn.

“For me as a student, a full-time worker paying all the bills myself, with a lot of responsibilities, there’s never really a day off or a fun day,” he said. ___ During the government shutdown in 1995 and 1996, Dan Madrzykowski would occasionally sneak onto the Gaithersburg campus of the National Institute of Standards and Technology and check on some lab work or crunch some numbers.

“NIST is not really a bureaucracy; it’s more a series of labs. People are driven differently,” said Madrzykowski, a fire protection engineer from Damascus, Md., who’s worked for the agency for 28 years.

This time, security is tighter after 9/11, and rules forbidding furloughed employees from working are strictly enforced.

So Madrzykowski, whose work has helped develop better tactics and

equipment for firefighters, is devoting time to projects for a professional group, the Society of Fire Protection Engineers.

And he’s had to break his habit of answering email on his government-issued Blackberry from firefighters around the country.

Last week, Madrzykowski and colleagues had planned to begin work on developing standards for radio communications equipment to function in the extreme temperatures that firefighters face.

The research is used by industry groups to set standards for equipment manufacturers.

That work will wait.

Madrzykowski said his biggest worry is that NIST won’t be able to recruit and retain young researchers because government work no longer has the stability that once made it attractive.

“I’m old. My wife works. We’ve got a little bit of a cushion,” he said. “But for young people in a metro area, they’re barely making it.

We’ve lost several young people to private industry.” ___ Bynum reported from Savannah, Ga. Associated Press writers Martha Irvine in Chicago, Mike Stobbe in Atlanta, Bridget Murphy in Boston, Jessica Gresko in Washington, Amanda Lee Myers in Cincinnati and Matthew Barakat in McLean, Va., contributed to this story.

US jobless claims jump to 374k due to backlog CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of people applying for U.S. unemployment benefits jumped by 66,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 374,000. But the spike was largely because California processed a huge backlog of claims and the partial government shutdown prompted some companies to cut jobs.

The Labor Department said Thursday that the less volatile four-week

average rose 20,000 to 325,000. The sharp increase in both the weekly figures and the four-week average comes after applications hovered near a 6-year low the previous week.

A government spokesman said that about half the weekly increase occurred in California, where officials processed applications that were delayed several weeks by a computer upgrade.

One-quarter of the increase reflected applications from employees at government contrac-

tors and other workers affected by the shutdown.

Applications are a proxy for layoffs. Before last week, they had declined steadily over the past three months. That’s a sign companies are cutting fewer workers.

“The broader picture is still that labor market conditions are improving, albeit not quite as much as we previously thought,” Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics, said.

Federal workers temporarily laid off by the shutdown may also file for

benefits. But their numbers are reported separately and published a week later than the other applications.

Lockheed Martin said Monday that it is furloughing about 2,400 employees. That’s lower than the 3,000 employees the company initially said it would furlough because Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has recalled most of the Pentagon’s civilian employees to work.

Falling applications are typically followed by more hiring. But there aren’t any signs that

that has happened yet.

Instead, job gains have slowed in recent months.

It’s not clear if hiring trends changed last month. The government was unable to issue the September employment report because of the shutdown.

However, last week payroll provider ADP said businesses added just 166,000 jobs in September, evidence that hiring remains sluggish.

The ADP figures usually diverge from the government’s more comprehensive employment report.

Analysts forecast that the economy was growing slowly before the shutdown. They predict economic growth at a 1.5 percent to 2 percent annual rate from July through September. That’s generally not fast enough to spur much hiring.

Many economists had forecast that growth would pick up to an annual rate of 2.5 percent to 3 percent from October through December. But the shutdown will likely shave about 0.15 percentage point from that figure for each week it lasts.
