President Barack Obama is doing his job, a new Associated Press-GfK poll shows. Republican rival Mitt Romney, meanwhile, has lost his pre-convention edge on the economy amid a flurry of distractions that have taken him on a detour from the central message of his campaign.
For all of that, neither candidate has managed to break away in the drum-tight presidential race. Obama is supported by 47 percent of likely voters and Romney by 46 percent, according to the poll. The survey was ending just as word surfaced of Romney’s caught-on-

THE WALLS of the old Ponderosa restaurant building on Michigan Street came tumbling down Wednesday as plans progress for the construction of a Frisch’s Restaurant.
Ponderosa site being developed by Frisch’s BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg,com Work crews Wednesday demolished the former Ponderosa Steakhouse building at 2120 Michigan St., which has been leased by Frisch’s Restaurants Inc. as the site for a new Sidney restaurant. Mark Grove, owner of A-1 Enterprises, of Dayton, said his crew of four people would have the entire site cleared by Friday or Saturday, including the asphalt of the parking lot.
“We have to haul (the debris) to Dayton because up here, they don’t have any construction and demolition land fills,” he said. “The last time I worked in Sidney, it was to take down the building where they stamped out wheelbarrows. That was in the early ‘8os, I think.” He said there was no hazardous waste in the debris and that the parking lot must be demolished because “all the underground (conduit and wiring) will be new.”

Bands ready to perform at SHS marching band festival Sidney High School will host the 26th annual Sensational Sounds Marching Band Festival on Sept. 29. This year’s festival will be held at 7 p.m. at the Sidney Memorial Stadium. Tickets are $5 a person and will be available at the gate. Unlike other local competitions, the festival is designed as a fun way for bands of all sizes to perform without the pressure of adjudicated competitions. Instead of being judged on technical skills and musi-
cal performance, the night focuses on spirit of each performing group and the support of fans in the stands. Each band is given a monetary award for participating, and the band and their followers showing the most school spirit are awarded the Spirit Award. This year, six area marching bands, including Lehman Catholic High School and Jackson Center High School, will be participating. See BANDS/Page 5A

Sidney man cited following railroad crossing accident Shelby County Sheriff’s deputies are continuing their investigation of a car-train accident at the Indiana and Ohio Railroad crossing on Meranda Road near Maplewood Tuesday evening. Deputies, dispatched to the scene at 6:26 p.m., found an auto operated by Waturu Hirano, 45, of 547 Plum Ridge Trail, Sidney, had struck a passing train. Hirano told deputies he did not see the northbound train until it was too late to stop. The vehicle was severely damaged with airbags deployed. The incomplete accident report indicates Hirano will be
charged with failing to stop at a railroad crossing, with other possible charges pending. The yet-incomplete accident report indicates Hirano and a train crew from Lima, including engineer Corey Fulks, 28, and conductor, Darren Johnson, no age given, were not seriously injured. Deputies said the north-south grade crossing is clearly marked with a yield sign and crossbuck. Assisting sheriff ’s deputies at the scene of the crash were Anna Fire and Rescue, Maplewood firefighters and Perry-Port-Salem Rescue.

The Sensational Sounds began after the Sidney High School marching band attended the Bellefontaine Band Festival nearly three decades ago. The band parents who attended this festival won the Spirit Award, which led them to create a steering committee to make plans to host a festival here in Sidney. Twenty-six years later, parents and other volunteers are still making it happen. What started out as a way for parents to show their support and raise some money for the school has turned into a community tradition. This annual fundraiser for the Sidney High School music department is a success due to the many volunteers who organize and run the event, organizers said. Countless parents and grandparents, teachers and other staff members, alumni band members and community members work to prepare for the event. The festival is a great way to watch some local bands and support the students in the community.
Kroger recalls spinach CINCINNATI (AP) — is recalling Kroger spinach sold at grocery stores in 15 states due to possible Listeria contamination. The Kroger Fresh Selections Tender Spinach was sold in 10-ounze bags and had a “best if used by” date of Sept. 16. It has a universal product code, or UPC, of 011110916495. The grocer said Wednesday that if customers did buy the recalled product, they should return it to stores for a full refund or replacement. No illnesses have been reported. Listeria can lead to severe illness for women who are pregnant or people who have a weakened im-
mune system. The Kroger Co., based in Cincinnati, said the product was sold in Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska. The recall involves its Kroger, Jay C, Owen’s, Pay Less, Scott’s, Food 4 Less, Dillons, Baker’s and Gerbes stores in selected states. The California supplier, NewStar Fresh Foods, said that recall is being done out of an abundance of caution after a single package yielded a positive test result by the Ohio Department of Agriculture.
Group launches hotline COLUMBUS (AP) — A group of civil rights lawyers and its state partner groups are launching a host of election protection efforts in battleground Ohio. The Washington, D.C.-based Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law was expected to detail its plans at an event Wednesday. The committee is the nation’s largest nonpartisan voter protection coalition. It enters the fray in the wake of legal battles waged over Ohio’s handling of provisional ballots, its early voting period and access to the polls. The group says it will take steps to assure voter access amid early voting restrictions, precinct consolidations and polling location changes. It says it will set up an election protection hotline at 1-866-OUR-VOTE, which will be staffed with trained volunteers to help voters.

Dad’s trial delayed TROY (AP) — A trial has been delayed to allow time to evaluate the mental health of an adoptive father accused of raping young boys in his care in western Ohio. Miami County Judge Robert Lindeman on Wednesday stayed proceedings pending results of an assessment of the 40-year-old man’s sanity and competency to stand trial. That means a trial planned for Oct. 2 will be rescheduled. The Troy man is accused of raping three boys, ages 9 to 12. He had adopted two of the boys, along with a 9year-old girl, and was in the process of adopting the third boy. The Associated Press isn’t naming the father to protect the children’s identities. The defendant’s attorney, Nick Gounaris, said he’s also filed a competency motion in Montgomery County, where the man faces related charges. Gounaris declined after the hearing to discuss his client’s mental health. The father is also charged with arranging for two other men to have sex with one of the boys. He was arrested in February as the result of a detective’s investigation of a person who went online seeking what was called “taboo” sex. The adoptive father could potentially face a life sentence if convicted in Miami County. The defendant was brought into court wearing an orange jail jumpsuit with his hands bound in front of him and his ankles bound. He did not speak at the hearing as he sat next to Gounaris. Wednesday’s hearing had initially been scheduled for Gounaris to argue that the prosecution shouldn’t be allowed to use statements the man made to investigators, saying his client’s rights were violated.
Fewer students at colleges now on semesters

WORKERS PUT the finishing touches on the new Jesus statue "Lux Mundi" meaning "light of the world" at Solid Rock Church, on Wednesday in Monroe. The statue is to replace another statue that was destroyed by lightning in 2010.
Church erects giant Jesus statue MONROE (AP) — A giant likeness of Jesus Christ has replaced a similar iconic statue that was destroyed two years ago in a lightning fire in southwest Ohio. The new 51-foot statue was erected Wednesday at the Solid Rock Church near Mon-
roe. It’s visible to drivers along busy Interstate 75. Nicknamed “Hug Me Jesus,” the statue depicts a full-bodied Jesus who’s standing with open arms. The previous statue that was ruined by lightning in 2010 was known as “Touchdown Jesus” or
“Big Butter Jesus” for its creamy color. It depicted a waist-up Jesus with arms uplifted. The Rev. Lawrence Bishop tells the Dayton Daily News that the new statue represents hope, and he wants it to provide people with “a light in their day.”
DAYTON (AP) — Enrollment has dropped by nearly 13,500 students at 17 Ohio colleges and universities that began using a semester schedule this fall, which could be a financial hit for schools relying on revenue from tuition. The initial enrollment dip is typical with a schedule switch that makes it easier for students to transfer among Ohio schools, according to Jeff Ortega, director of public affairs for the Ohio Association of Community Colleges. But there are other factors affecting enrollment, including fewer Ohio high school graduates, eligibility changes that reduced how many students get federal Pell Grants, and an improving economy that has some choosing jobs over education, the Dayton Daily News reported Wednesday. Ortega said that enrollment dropping from a conversion to semesters is expected to stabilize. Among the latest schools to turn to the semester schedules, only Ohio University and Cincinnati State Technical and Community College didn’t lose enrollment. Declines in enrollment are financial hits as schools have come to rely more on tuition revenue as state aid dropped 18 percent in the last five years. It also could threaten to set
back progress toward a national goal for 60 percent of Americans to hold a degree by 2025. The official report on enrollment statewide will not be released until Oct. 1, but some educators expect the number of students attending college across Ohio to decline slightly, the newspaper reported. If statewide enrollment is down, it would be the second year in a row the number of students has dropped, after falling 1 percent last year. Prior to that, enrollment had grown every year since 2005, according the Ohio Board of Regents. Former Ohio Chancellor Eric Fingerhut supported the calendar change to semesters as a way for students to more easily transfer between the state’s 37 public institutions. The institutions previously were on a quarter system, which meant a transferring student was switching from a 10-week quarter to a longer semester when making the transition. About 35.8 percent of Ohioans now have a college degree, but college proponents say that is not enough to meet future job demands. The Lumina Foundation, a national nonprofit focused on enrolling and graduating more students, estimates that 57 percent of jobs in the future will require a college education,

Remains came from funeral home CINCINNATI (AP) — Boxes containing cremated remains of 56 individuals found at a house in southwest Ohio are the same ones a state agency found earlier at a now-closed funeral home. Dayton police say a contractor found the boxes Tuesday while removing items from a house owned by the funeral home’s former director Scherrie McLin. They were labeled with names and dates of the deceased individuals. The executive director of Ohio’s Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors says investigators found the same boxes last October at the McLin Funeral Home in Dayton. She says investigators then notified the county prosecutor, who didn’t immediately return calls Wednesday. The funeral home’s license was revoked in January after an investigation revealed violations of state laws and administrative codes. McLin couldn’t be reached for comment Wednesday.

Baby born at racetrack LOUDON, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire woman and her baby are doing fine after the woman gave birth in the New Hampshire Motor Speedway parking lot. Shawna Arnold began going into labor Friday and she and her boyfriend began driving to a hospital. But when she realized she was about to give birth on the way, they made a pit stop at the racetrack parking lot in Loudon. Arnold tells WMUR-TV that she and her boyfriend delivered the baby, named Katie, in their car. An EMT at the track then came to help, and the couple and the baby were taken to a hospital. Speedway General Manager Jerry Gappens has awarded the baby two tickets to NASCAR races for the rest of her life.

Romney’s comments ripple across battleground map DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Mitt Romney’s offhanded comment that as a candidate he doesn’t worry about the 47 percent of Americans who pay no income taxes has quickly entered the bloodstream in the presidential campaign’s most hard-fought states. His comment, in a video revealed this week, is prompting expressions of shock — but also shrugs — from Nevada to Florida to New Hampshire and the handful of battleground states in between. Will it sway an election expected to be close? There was much discussion in the relatively few states that are still considered competitive, likely to decide the race. Here, as elsewhere, the question was whether Romney was showing himself to be insensitive or merely delivering the hard truth a nation at an economic
crossroads must face. People’s answers could make an Election Day difference in states where the race is tight. “It sounds like he’s leaving out half of America, if you ask me,” said Gary Gabriel, an independent from suburban Columbus, Ohio, who decided in light of Romney’s comments to support President Barack Obama. But the remarks also reaffirmed the opinions of some Romney supporters. “I worry a lot about the society we’re turning into, more of an entitlement mentality,” said Randy Schumaker, a Denver-area IT manager. It all underscored the campaign’s focus on the economy. And it stoked deeper questions about voters’ expectations about the government’s role in Americans’ daily lives. Outrage. Nodding approval.
Both followed Romney’s contention that 47 percent of Americans support Obama and that they “are dependent upon government” and “believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them.” In a Gallup poll taken Tuesday, about a third of the surveyed registered voters said they would be less likely to support Romney in light of the remarks, But more said the comments would not affect their votes. And most voters have already made up their minds on whom they will support, according to this and other surveys. More voter voices: “He does not have that empathy that says he really cares,” said Michael Symes from the economically hardhit Las Vegas area. Student Morgan Palmer
said he needs his college loan to get through Christopher Newport University in Newport News, Va. But he doesn’t consider himself a government dependent. “I was really shocked,” the 18-year-old freshman from Chantilly, Va., said. “This is a long-term investment, not short-term dependency.” Outside LaCrosse, Wis., however, retired mortgage loan officer Shirley Otto said Romney was merely delivering an unvarnished version of the straight talk the nation needs to hear. “I’d rather be told the truth … than be told something just to win an election,” Otto said. Romney’s comments were recorded without his awareness at a private May fundraiser in Florida. They were provided to the magazine Mother Jones, which released them Monday.
Cartoons inflame tensions

TWO STUDENTS hug (right) as they gather outside Benjamin E. Mays Academy Wednesday morning after Chicago teachers voted to suspend their first strike in 25 years. Union delegates voted overwhelmingly Tuesday night to suspend the walkout after discussing a proposed contract settlement with the nation’s third largest school district.
Teachers return to classrooms CHICAGO (AP) — Mayor Rahm Emanuel secured an extension of Chicago’s school day and empowered principals to hire the teachers they want. Teachers were able to soften a new evaluation process and win some job protections. As students returned to the classroom Wednesday after a seven-day teachers strike, both sides found reasons to celebrate victory. But neither the school-reform movement nor organized labor achieved the decisive breakthrough it had sought. And whether the implications extend beyond Chicago may depend on the next case having a similar cast of characters and political pressures. Unions hoped the walkout would prove they were still relevant, and some reform groups were disappointed with the city’s concessions. At times, the contract talks seemed overshadowed by personalities, with the mayor and union leaders occasionally trading insults and questioning each other’s motives. Still, everyone involved in the dispute emerged with an achievement to trumpet: Teachers said the strike sparked an important national conversation about school reform. Union activists said it helped inspire public employee unions that have been losing ground. Emanuel declared it a boon for students trapped in failing schools. The president of the American Federation of
Teachers said the strike showed that teachers want a voice in improving schools rather than shouldering the blame for those that are failing. “The bottom line is … you had teachers standing up for what they need to teach and what students need to learn,” Randi Weingarten said, citing concerns about school closings, standardized tests and a lack of classroom resources that are common across the U.S. But in lots of places, the circumstances that led to Chicago’s walkout don’t apply. For one thing, many states forbid strikes by teachers and other public-employee unions. Some teachers unions and school districts have been able to work collaboratively to achieve changes, in sharp contrast to the clash in Chicago, a unionbuilt town where organized labor still wields considerable power but new mayor is seeking more control over education. “I think a lot of what went on to a certain extent is peculiar to Chicago,” said Martin Malin, director of the Institute for Law and the Workplace at the Kent College of Law in Chicago. Thomas Hatch, a professor at Columbia University’s Teachers College, said the strike focused attention on teacher evaluations and fears of closing neighborhood schools. But he agreed that some factors, such as the combative personalities, are unlikely to affect other districts.
PARIS (AP) — France stepped up security Wednesday at its embassies across the Muslim world after a French satirical weekly revived a formula that it has already used to capture attention: Publishing crude, lewd caricatures of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. Wednesday’s issue of the provocative satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, whose offices were firebombed last year, raised concerns that France could face violent protests like the ones targeting the United States over an amateur video produced in California that have left at least 30 people dead. The drawings, some of which depicted Muhammad naked and in demeaning or pornographic poses, were met with a swift rebuke by the French government, which warned the magazine could be inflaming tensions, even as it reiterated France’s free speech protections. The principle of freedom of expression “must not be infringed,” Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said, speaking on France Inter radio. But he added: “Is it pertinent, intelligent, in this context to pour oil on the fire? The answer is no.” Anger over the film “Innocence of Muslims” has fueled violent protests from Asia to Africa. In the Lebanese port city of Tyre, tens of thousands of people marched in the streets Wednesday, chanting “Oh, America, you are God’s enemy!” Worried France might be targeted, the government ordered its embassies, cultural centers, schools and other official sites to close on Friday — the Muslim holy day — in 20 countries.
Tax penalty to hit 6M uninsured people WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly 6 million Americans — most of them in the middle class — will face a tax penalty for not carrying medical coverage once President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul law is fully in place, congressional budget analysts said Wednesday. The new estimate amounts to an inconvenient fact for the administration, a reminder of what critics see as broken promises. The numbers from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office are significantly higher than a previous projection by the same office in 2010, shortly after
the law passed. The earlier estimate found 4 million people would be affected. The difference — 2 million people— represents a 50 percent increase. That’s still only a sliver of the population, given that more than 150 million people currently are covered by employer plans. Nonetheless, in his first campaign for the White House, Obama pledged not to raise taxes on individuals making less than $200,000 a year and couples making less than $250,000. And the budget office analysis found that nearly 80 percent of those who’ll face the penalty would be making
up to or less than five times the federal poverty level. Currently that would work out to $55,850 or less for an individual and $115,250 or less for a family of four. Average penalty: about $1,200 in 2016. “The bad news and broken promises from Obamacare just keep piling up,” said Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, who wants to repeal the law. There was no immediate response from the administration. The budget office said most of the increase in its estimate is due to changes in underly-
ing projections about the economy, incorporating the effects of new federal legislation, as well as higher unemployment and lower wages. Starting in 2014, the new health care law requires virtually every legal resident of the U.S. to carry health insurance or face a tax penalty. The Supreme Court upheld Obama’s law as constitutional in a 5-4 decision this summer, finding that the insurance mandate and the tax penalty enforcing it fall within the power of Congress to impose taxes. The penalty will be collected by the IRS, just like taxes.

He called me and asked for my opinion after he gave me all the details about how she looked and her personality. I encouraged him to ask her out. He
did, and now they are a couple. He told her about his good friend — me — and she was not thrilled about our friendship because he called me last night and informed me that his new girlfriend did not want him to continue being my close friend. I was shocked when he said that he wouldn’t be calling me any more. He also asked me to please not call him again. I couldn’t believe that it was Kenny talking to me. Now that I encouraged Kenny to date this girl, I feel used. My mother said not to blame this girl because it was Kenny’s choice to agree with her request. My mom called Kenny a wimp. I don’t agree. I just think that this girl is dominating and, in time, Kenny will dump her. Do you agree? — Nameless, Oklahoma City, Okla. NAMELESS: I agree with your mother, Kenny is a wimp.

Pray for success of our political leaders — more often than not in spite of who was elected to lead! As I read Scripture about civil authorities, St. Paul wrote to the Roman church, which at the time was under persecution by the despotic power that was the Roman Empire: “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God …” (Romans 13:1) Which in my mind means that I need to be praying for our elected officials to discern God’s will and to be bold to accomplish it, even if I personally don’t like them or didn’t vote for them. And so over the
Fundraisers to benefit station MINSTER — Volunteers are planning fundraisers to benefit Radio Maria station, WHJM 88.7 FM.They will be conducting three major fundraisers at the upcoming Minster Oktoberfest, Oct. 5-7. Back for the third year will be the group’s “snack wheel” on the grounds of the Oktoberfest. This proved to be an attractive game for children of all ages. The “snack wheel” involves food items such as candy, chips and soda that a player may win for 25 cents per spin.
Oct. 6 and 7 during the Oktoberfest weekend, the studio will hold an open house and bake sale for which guests may purchase raffle tickets, tour the studio and buy homebaked goods. The Radio Maria raffle has already begun and will feature many prizes.There are nearly 60 items on the list, all donated by areas businesses. Tickets are being sold for $1 each or a book of six for $5. Tickets are available from any Radio Maria volunteer or from the studio at 191 E. Fourth St. (Hoy-
ing Professional Building) during office hours of 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Winners will be drawn the following Monday and notified by phone and do not need be present to win. Included is a $200 Sweetheart Package from the Inn of Versailles as a grand prize. Other possible items to win are cash prizes, gift certificates to restaurants and gift shops, hand-crafted art pieces and oil changes. The station also will have a float in the Oktoberfest parade.
Bishop to preside at Mass CINCINNATI — Cincinnati Auxiliary Bishop Joseph R. Binzer will be the principal celebrant at the eighth annual Blue Mass to be held at 11 a.m. Sunday at the Cathedral of St. Peter in Chains, 325 W. Eighth St. “Persons of all faiths are invited to join us in prayer and thanksgiving for the service and dedication of our community’s safety personnel,” said Sean Donovan, chief deputy for the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Office, who is a member of the committee organizing the event. Attendees should consider coming early to the cathedral (about 10:30 a.m.) to see area fire trucks set up with flags hung from their extended ladders, and to
see officers on horseback. “Blue Mass celebrations are held throughout the United States, usually in a cathedral setting, to honor the men and women who serve our communities as police, fire and safety personnel,” said Capt. Rick Ransick of the Cincinnati Fire Department, another member of the organizing committee. “The homily contains a message of appreciation, encouragement and solidarity with the safety personnel as keepers of order in our civil society.” A blessing ceremony begins at 10:45 am for the attending members of police and fire departments, and on the equipment they use in the line of duty. The equipment is
located just outside the cathedral plaza on Plum Street. Following the blessing, officers, family members and community members process into the cathedral behind a bagpiper and color guard. At the end of the church service, names of safety personnel who have died this past year are read aloud. Fellowship and refreshments on the plaza follow the service. Although the celebration takes place within the context of a Catholic Mass, individuals of all faiths are welcomed to attend and encouraged to participate with their families. For more information on the Blue Mass visit the cathedral’s website at www.stpeterinchainscathedral.org.

decades of my ministry, I have prayed for presidents, governors, senarepresentatives, tors, mayors, commissioners and councils. Some of them I voted for while others I did not. Some were Republicans, some were Democrats, and some were independents. I agreed with some of their policies and their ideas while I disagreed with some of their stances and public statements and even some of their lifestyles. As far as I have been able to tell, I think all of them genuinely sought to do what was best. And as far as I have been able to tell, none of them were perfect nor were

because so many depend on whether or not we are successful as a nation. So for me, Nov. 6 can hardly get here soon enough. And people around me will hear from me the consistent message — be a citizen, get informed, vote, and then pray that the people we together elect and the issues we together approve will succeed to make us a better place. Pray for the success of all who lead us. Then will come true the sooften heard phrase from all the candidates from all the parties: “and may God bless America.” The writer is the pastor of St. Jacob Lutheran Church in Anna.

THIS URGENT MESSAGE IS FOR EVERYONE The Tribulation described in the Biblical book of Revelation is rapidly approaching. Every person needs to have a relationship with Jesus Christ and to examine his/her life to be sure there is no sin. People cannot be saved in their sins. To be saved all persons must believe that Jesus Christ died for their sins and for the sins of the whole world, was buried, and rose again on the third day. It is the shed blood of Jesus that saves. The Cross and the Resurrection are central to the salvation message. The next step in becoming a Christian is repentance. Every person has sinned; the wages of sin is death. God has commanded all persons to repent. Jesus said, “Except you repent you will perish.” You must repent! We must be truly sorry for our sins, go and sin no more, and never turn back from following Jesus. Baptism by immersion is commanded. Repentance is not genuine unless we confess and forsake our sins. There is no forgiveness until we confess and forsake all our sins. The fulfillment of all of God’s promises is based upon perfect obedience. If our life is clean, the Holy Spirit will indwell us to guide, teach, and show us things to come. It needs to be emphasized that we are living in a very, very urgent time in world history. Judgment is coming. Every person will stand before God to give an account of his/her life. Every person, whether they go to heaven or to hell, will be taught the entire Word of God and will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Heaven is real and very wonderful, and hell is real and very horrible. We make our own choice as to where we will go. No one should want hell as a final destination, but the fact is that only a minority will be saved in God’s eternal Kingdom. The majority are on their way to hell. Some who think they are saved will find that they are not. God is no respecter of persons. He will adhere to His Perfect Master Plan of Judgment. All persons will receive 100% justice based on their spiritual condition at the time of death or at the time of Jesus’s second coming. All the problems of mankind are caused by people trying to live independently from the Word of God and living as though God doesn’t exist. The Bible and the Holy Spirit are essential in order to be saved. There is only one perfect truth from God. Individual beliefs mean nothing unless they agree perfectly with the Bible. Nothing, absolutely nothing, is as important as being in right relationship with Jesus Christ. If you are in right relationship with Christ and God, you will desire the coming of the Kingdom more than you desire any other thing. We who know the truth must tell others. Let he who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. – by Dorothy Foster 2320715

any of them evil people. I have prayed for them all to succeed. For if they did not succeed, it meant that our country, our state, our county, our township, our city/village would fail and that is something that I did not want, nor do I think it is something that God desires either. Because if they failed, it meant that I and all my friends and neighbors would be in a place that we didn’t want to be nor that God intended for us to there. And in spite of the negativism of the campaigns (not anything new to politics in the USA) I will pray for whomever we elect this time around. It is the right thing to do

Queen candidates better have their “Boogie Shoes” for ‘70s-themed dance BY: JULIA HARRELSON The dresses have been purchased, the hair style has been selected, and the restaurant has been reserved. There is just one last thing before Homecoming can officially start: the crowning of the King and Queen. As is tradition, students vote for their favorites, then the King and Queen are crowned before the football game. The winners then preside over the next night’s dance as Lehman’s own royalty. Being a candidate is an honor, and these seven lucky ladies get to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience. They are Ally Bergman, Lauren Bosway, Sarah Cabe, Sloane Glover, Katie Rossman, Andrea Thobe and Sarah Titterington. Bergman is the daughter of Nick and Ann Bergman. She is involved in the Cavalier Crier/yearbook staff, Interact, NHS, Pro-Life, and Relay for Life. She has been a class officer and was on the Prom Court.

Freedom Rock Veterans’ Memorial continues to grow Class of 2012 donation adds lights to flag pole BY SAM CLENDENIN, SHS SENIOR
Sidney fans might have noticed a big improvement to the Veterans’ Memorial at Sidney High School as they drive through the SHS parking lot. The memorial’s flag pole is now illuminated thanks to a generous donation from the Sidney High School class of 2012. The Freedom Rock Veterans’ Memorial, as it is officially known, was donated by the class of 1971 to recognize all SHS students who have honorably served in one of the branches of the United States Armed Forces. Sidney High has a long and proud tradition of honoring its military service men and women. More than 200 pavers honoring veterans from World War One to Operation Enduring Freedom have been purchased since 2004. Members of Sidney High’s Student Government are in charge of taking new orders, upkeep and improvements. Sidney students added landscaping in 2008, and regularly add mulch and new flags when needed. Student Government advisor, Mr. Brett Bickel stated, “We wanted to add lighting to the Freedom rock for several years now and the class of 2012 stepped up and donated the money to make it possible.” The light fixtures were purchased from Dickman Supply and installed by Area Energy. All the pavers are etched by Sidney resident Mr. Roger Sidle and can be personalized with service branch or unit number as well as dates of service. Anyone who served in the military and graduated or attended Sidney High is eligible to purchase a brick paver. Pavers are $50.00 each and order forms are available by calling the high school at 497-2238.
It’s that time of year again with all the preparations of buying a dress or a tux, and voting for the Homecoming King and Queen! Have you ever wondered who is responsible for making that big announcement at the Homecoming football game? The Grand Marshall of course! Every year the senior class chooses an appropriate candidate to fill this position. There’s no doubt why they would pick Mr. Jack Albers, the man known for his strong voice. “I am anxiously waiting for someone to inform me of the appropriate protocol for being Grand Marshall,” said Albers. “I know it will be a very enjoyable experience.” Albers grew up in Minster and attended a large variety of colleges to receive his graduate and undergraduate degrees. “If you list all of them, you might be here for a few days,” he said. Albers has taught for 47 years, 30 at Marion Local, 1 at Coldwater, 1 at Vandalia Butler, and 15 at Lehman where he teaches Pre-Calculus, Calculus, and AP Calculus. “I love all the students I’ve had a privilege to teach here and I love teaching math because I like the challenge of each problem.” He has also coached football and basketball. He also enjoys baseball and his favorite sport to play is tennis. As a sports expert, Albers was asked his predictions on the Homecoming game. “I believe that Lehman can come out with a win and I’m convinced they will give their best effort.”
Be There or Be Square BY: KENNEDY MCIVER The theme for this year’s homecoming, as chosen by the senior class, is “‘70s.” The theme gives a lot of choices for banners, decorations, music and the focus of the dance. Ethan Jock, senior class president, gave more insight on this year’s homecoming. “The senior banner idea is ‘Dance the Pirates off the Field’ and after Michael Jacob and I sketched out the banner idea, the seniors got to work,” he said. Senior Emilie Cavinder added, “It turned out really well, but I’m not giving away any secrets.” The dance decorations are going to be colorful streamers and a disco ball. “I think it will be awesome,” said Jock. The big thing on people’s minds is the focus for the dance. It will be the music and the style of dress, because when people think ‘70s, they think about the music style and the fashions. The class of 2013 picked this theme because they believed everyone would have a great time dancing the night away.

Four Turns ENOUGH ... The winner 1 IRONICALLY of Sunday’s first Chase race was also the driver that first spoke out publically about a perceived advantage Hendrick Motorsports cars had in their suspensions. NASCAR issued a technical bulletin roughly 10 days prior to the race in Joliet, Ill., limiting the amount of travel a car’s suspension could have. The “new rule” certainly didn’t seem to hamper the performance of the HMS stable, as Jimmie Johnson dominated much of the race only to finish second. Coupled with Keselowski’s pit road “cutoff” move on Johnson, Keselowski is up 2-0 in the battle of mind games. A GREAT CHASE START Ford 2 NOT has been shut out of Chicagoland’s Victory Lane since the Cup Series began visiting the facility in 2001. Greg Biffle, in 13th, was Ford’s highest finishing driver in the GEICO 400. Matt Kenseth ran in the top 10 in a Roush Fenway Ford for much of the race until a broken shock dropped him off the pace. He finished 18th.

Round One to Keselowski Brad Keselowski goes toe-to-toe with Jimmie Johnson, wins Chicago
By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor
If Jimmie Johnson and his No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports team are the Muhammad Ali of NASCAR — the heavyweight that wins with both sheer power and poise — Brad Keselowski and his No. 2 Penske Racing bunch are the sport’s Sugar Ray Leonard. Not necessarily graced with the resources enjoyed by Johnson, Keselowski wins with smarts and guile — and a sweeping uppercut that comes, seemingly, from nowhere. Therefore, it was fitting that Keselowski referred to his win in Sunday’s GEICO 400 at Chicagoland Speedway in boxer’s terms. “It feels like Round 1 of a heavyweight title bout, just it’s a 10-round bout,” he said of the first Chase race in NASCAR’s 10-week playoff. “Week 1 is done and we won the round but we didn’t by any means knock them out. We’ve got a lot of racing left to go. We’re feeling good about today but know that we have a lot of work to do.” They’ll be no checking of scorecards for this round, though. Johnson started second and was in control of the race, leading a commanding 172 of the first 228 laps. However, Keselowski and crew chief Paul Wolfe managed to maneuver their Dodge to the front, using a quick pit stop — and just a little gamesmanship — to take control of the point. Trailing Johnson by a second as the final round of pit stops began, Keselowski exited the pits just in front of his rival and made a hasty entrance onto the racing surface. Johnson claimed Keselowski “blended” back onto the track too soon (NASCAR rules state a driver must keep all four wheels below the white line before the backstretch). Keselowski’s car cut in front of Johnson’s, briefly stalling his momentum. The move drew the ire of Johnson’s crew chief, Chad Knaus, who asked NASCAR to review the move. Its response? “No harm, no foul.” And with that, Keselowski used clean air to hold Johnson at bay for the final 26 laps to record his fourth

win of the season and claim the top spot in the Chase. “He did cut up early,” Johnson said. “It did impede my progress, I had to check up and wasn’t sure where things were going. But it didn’t affect the outcome I don’t believe. “The way he made quick work in (lap) traffic and stretched it out on me, I’m not sure I would have held him off. At the time it messed me up, but I don’t think it played an outcome in the race.” Keselowski, in turn, feigned ignorance as to why Johnson felt wronged: “There is no enforced line like you see in other sports, and that’s not a bad thing. That’s just one more thing to monitor during the race. But it’s certainly — I don’t want to say a gentlemen’s agreement — it’s a policy of merging down the backstretch, off of Turn 2, I think it said specifically in the driver’s meeting. And I feel like that’s what we did.” Chase participants made up nine of

the top-15 finishers. The only one that suffered a crippling blow was Jeff Gordon, who’s throttle stuck in lap 189. The damage resulted in a 35th-place showing. He now sits 12th in the Chase standings, 47 points out of first. Popular pre-Chase favorite Denny Hamlin, who entered the event with the top spot, ran out of fuel on the final lap, dropping from a solid top5 finish to 16th. “This was just us making a big mistake with our fuel again,” said Hamlin. “It’s tough, but we’re strong enough and fast enough this Chase that we can make up 15 points easily.” As the most recent drive to be anointed as the No. 1 contender, Keselowski knows it’s too early to get comfortable. “Any time you win, it’s a bit of a mission accomplished for that particular weekend, but the Chase isn’t about one particular weekend, it’s about 10, and there’s a long row to hoe.”
“Unfortunately, Tony Jr. is no longer with the company,” Earnhardt said in a statement. “I had hoped he would be here for a long time, but as we’ve discussed the direction of JR Motorsports moving forward, it was clear our differences in ideas were too vast to overcome. I love him like a brother, and you’ll never hear me say a bad thing about him. I know he’ll have much success in anything he does going forward. As for our No. 7 team, no decision has been made on who will crew chief that team this weekend at Kentucky Speedway. We will discuss our options and make a decision very soon.”

When: Sunday, Sept. 23 TV: ESPN (1:00 p.m. EST) Layout: 1.058-mile oval Banking/Turns: 12 degrees Banking/Straightaways: 2 degrees July Winner: Denny Hamlin Crew Chief’s Take: “Track position is the order of the day at New Hampshire, which is technically a superspeedway, but races like a short track. Cars generally have one to one-anda-half lanes to play with, making passing — especially lap-down machines — difficult at best. Rubber buildup is widespread in the turns, and that determines where the driver can and can’t run. Usually two or three teams hit it right, and if it doesn’t rain and it doesn’t come down to fuel, one of them is going to win it.” NATIONWIDE SERIES Track: Kentucky Speedway Race: Kentucky 300 Location: Sparta, Ky.

What has kept Keselowski and his team near the top of the Horsepower Rankings all season is the ability to win on most any style of track. To come out connecting in the Chase is big. Certainly, an argument could be made for Johnson to be No. 1. However, he got beat in a race he seemed to have in hand. Don’t worry about this bunch, though — they’ll get theirs in the coming weeks. Mistakes like Hamlin’s team made (not getting the car full of fuel) are what turn top-5 runs into 16thplace finishes. It also costs teams championships. After a month of pre-Chase, live-fire testing, Earnhardt’s No. 88 team appears back to its fourth- to 10th-place ways. Is that good enough to win a title? Follows up Richmond win with a 10th-place showing somewhere relatively near Chicago. Considering the last two months’ worth of performances, Bowyer and the boys may be getting overlooked. Loudon’s July winner returns with the Chase lead in his sights. Like Bowyer, he may not be getting the credit he deserves for his pre-Chase surge. Look who appears to be rounding into form at just the right time. After a miserable month, Stewart clicks off a fourth at Richmond and a sixth to begin the Chase. Shouldn’t we all see this coming? A boatload of momentum sinks with Gordon’s stuck throttle at Chicagoland. After a valiant run into the Chase, it’s a shame to see the hard work go for naught. Credit this team for making a 20-something car into a top-10 ride by race’s end on Sunday. The “ultimate underdog” is still alive. A broken shock? Really? Isn’t that something that would happen to Gordon this year? Kenseth and the guys go from top 5 to 18th ... but I’d bet we haven’t heard the last of them. Harvick is averaging a 10.5-place finish since the return of Gil Martin as crew chief. Since his Michigan win in August, Biffle has looked extraordinarily mediocre. Could bust up the Chasers’ party in Loudon and steal a win this weekend. Wondering if his attention will suddenly shift to the Nationwide Series team he owns. Hornish has three consecutive 11th-place finishes. I wonder if Joey Logano has ever done that. Marcos Ambrose, Carl Edwards, Jeff Burton, Mark Martin, Paul Menard

Cavs have less to think about Will debut streamlined offense Friday night against Riverside
50 years ago Sept. 20, 1962 Sidney’s freshmen gridders dropped a 6-0 decision to Troy’s yearlings in an opener for the locals at Julia Lamb Stadium. A 30yard pass play produced the only score in the last 40 seconds of the well-played engagement. Following the score, Hank Spangler returned the kickoff 30 yards before time ran out.
25 years ago Sept. 20, 1987 Billy Burke broke the school record by shooting a 32 on the back nine at the Piqua Country Club to lead the Lehman golf team to a 159-188 victory over West Milton. Burke had five birdies, one bogey and three pars.
BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@sdnccg.com The Lehman Cavaliers notched a big win two weeks ago, coming from behind to beat Indian Lake. But just when it looked liked the Cavs had turned the corner, they went to Fort Loramie and were soundly beaten 35-0 last week in their first-ever Northwest Central Conference game. Now they try to regroup, and head coach Dick Roll is making it a little easier to do. Roll and his staff got together Sunday and pared down the number of plays in the Cavalier offensive arsenal. “We wanted to simplify things for the kids,” said the
veteran coach. “We cut the play list down so we could concentrate and do some things right, and see where we go.” Roll said the play list was literally cut in half. “We had talked about it as a staff, and we just set down Sunday night and whittled it down,” he said. “We like the plays we kept, but we still have to execute them. We’re going to stay with motion and still try to run the option. But we want the kids to just be playing out there and not thinking too much.” There is no question the Cavalier offense needs some kind of jolt — in four games, Lehman has scored just four touchdowns, and is averaging just 137.5 yards in total offense.
The Cavaliers will try out their slimmed down version of offense Friday night at Sidney Memorial Stadium when the Riverside Pirates come to town for another NWCC contest. The Pirates are officially 03, but have played four games. Last week, they beat up on Springfield Emmanuel Christian, which is trying to develop a varsity program under former Lehman head coach Steve Hunsucker. “Johnny Graher (Riverside coach) has been coaching a long time and he’ll make sure it’s a game,” said Roll of his coaching counterpart. “We’ve seen what Riverside runs, saw a lot of it in the first couple weeks. They will run the wingT, and a 4-3 or 6-1 on defense.

Anna football coach Bryan Rioch saw something he didn’t like last week out of his Rockets. He’s not too worried about it, but he made sure to address it at practice this week. Things were going well for the Rockets in the third quarter against Versailles. They had just answered a Tiger touchdown with one of their own to go up by two scores, and the defense then forced a three-and-out. But the punt by the Tigers was muffed, recovered by the kicking team, and things weren’t the same the rest of the night in a 41-27 setback, Anna’s first loss of the season. The muffed punt, said Rioch, was huge in terms of a momentum swing. But what he especially didn’t like was how his team handled it. “The kids kinda put their heads down, and didn’t respond to that very well,” he said. “And they let one mistake turn into a bunch.

“We want to get a win, and we want to execute,” Roll added. “We just want to get better and go from there.” Roll said despite the score last week, he was not displeased with his defense. “We didn’t generate much on offense, but on defense, I thought we played fairly well,” said Roll. “Except we did give up a lot of successful fourth down plays.” Roll said he thought defensive tackle Quinton Malone, a 6-foot-2, 210-pound senior, had the “best game of his career,” and linebacker Nick Cummons his normal solid game. He also praised the play of center Brad Montgomery and tackle Ben Montgomery on the offensive side of the ball.
was expected to be tight. And he knows why. “Our defense and special teams have improved tremendously, and they just keep getting better,” he said. “That’s what won us the ball game. We knew Lehman was a good defensive team so we knew that our defense and special teams might have to carry us.” Seth Guillozet was the special teams standout Friday, returning a punt for a touchdown, and continuing to boom the ball on punts. He averaged 44 yards Friday, and Lehman had zero return yards for the game. “We feel great where we are right now,” said Burgbacher, whose team has not only bounced back from a 28-0 loss to Minster on opening night, but averaged 41 points per game over the past three weeks in upping its record to 3-1. The wins have put the Redskins on the rise in the Region

24 computer rankings for Division VI. They are sixth this week, and the top eight make it to postseason. “We talked about that, and we feel right now we control what happens to us,” said the coach. “I think there are enough winnable games out there that if we play good football and keep improving every week, we should be pretty confident. Our No. 1 goal is to win the league and let everything else take care of itself. “A lot of people figured this for a rebuilding year and in essense, it is,” he continued. “But the expectations are still the same. The kids have stepped up, and it’s not just one or two, it’s everybody. They are very coachable and so willing to listen and learn.” The Redskins stay at home again Friday and await the arrival of Waynesfield-Goshen in another Northwest Central Conference contest.
The Tigers, from Auglaize County, come in with a 2-2 record, having won their last two over Mechanicsburg (3332) and Lima Perry (42-24). And they may come in determined to erase the memory of last year, when the Redskins pounded them 62-8. “That score is a little deceiving because they turned the ball over five or six times deep in their own territory and we were able to capitalize,” said Burgbacher. “And that took the wind out of their sails. But we think they’re going to win some games this season. “They have a lot of kids coming back from last year, and a running back that’s up over 500 yards,” he added. Their quarterback is experienced and they are big on the offensive line. We’ll have to come out and play.” Loramie running back Delaunte Thornton has now rushed for 584 yards this season, second in the area.
Joe Fuller
Lehman cross country standout Joe Fuller had quite a week running for the Cavaliers, with two first-place finishes. It started last Tuesday, when Fuller won the Fort Loramie Invitational with a time of 16:51.33. Then on Saturday, he again crossed the line first at the Graham Invitational, finishing with a personal best time of 16:22.84.

Will Tressel and Clarett return when OSU honors 2002 team? COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — What’s brewing with the 2012 Ohio State Buckeyes ... BUCKEYES BUZZ: Ohio State will commemorate its 2002 national championship when it hosts Michigan on Nov. 24. Players and coaches will be encouraged to return to campus to honor the team that ended the Buckeyes’ 34-year national title drought in football. Of course, there are a couple of sticky questions. What about Jim Tressel, head coach of that team, who was forced out in May 2010 for knowing of potential NCAA violations but not telling his superiors? Tressel’s actions (or, inactions, since he sat on the information and continued to play the players he knew were
ineligible during the 2010 season) led directly to this year’s team being banned from a bowl. Also, there’s Maurice Clarett. The Buckeyes would not have won that title a decade ago without him. But his outstanding performance in the desert in Ohio State’s double-overtime win over the Miami Hurricanes is shrouded by the years since. Clarett never played another college game and was eventually hit with NCAA sanctions for taking improper benefits. He accused Ohio State of academic fraud, sued to jump to the NFL early, was cut when he finally was drafted and subsequently got into legal trouble that led to years behind bars. But Ohio State AD Gene Smith, speaking on Columbus radio station WBNS on Wednesday,
said no one from the 2002 team was “banned” from returning for the 10-year anniversary celebration and that all would be welcomed back. Now, it appears, the next move is up to Tressel and Clarett. TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE: An Ohio State home game used to be the hottest ticket around. Not anymore. There were seats available all of last season and that is again the case this year. An Ohio State official told The Toledo Blade that 1,500 tickets remain on sale for the Buckeyes’ game Saturday at noon against 371/2-point underdog UAB at Ohio Stadium. Online ticket resale companies had Ohio State tickets for half of the $70 face value. One longtime Buckeyes beat writer joked

“We addressed that this week at practice,” Rioch added. The Rockets will try to get back on track Friday night but face a formidable challenge, playing at perennial power Delphos St. John’s. The Blue Jays come into the game with an atypical 2-2 record, and were routed last week by Coldwater. But Rioch is quick to point out that one of Delphos’ wins came over St. Henry, which handed Minster its first loss of the season last week. “It’s like the NFL, there’s so much parity,” said the Anna coach. “If you’re not ready to play, you’re going to have some issues.” He likened the Blue Jays to the team Anna played last week, Versailles.
From Page 13
“There are a lot of similarities,” he said. “I don’t know if Delphos’ quarterback is as good as Versailles’ is. Campbell was the difference in the game last week. But Delphos’ running back is probably a little better, We’ll have to play our best game to have some success.” was quite Rioch pleased with the progress of quarterback Josh Robinson last week. He was 17-for-27 for 232 yards against Versailles. “He’s really starting to grow into that position,” said Rioch. “He did well when we wanted to throw and also when we had to throw. And the receivers played well, too.” The Rockets got Chandon Williams back from an injury last week, and he caught seven of those passes for 112 yards.

Defense shredded in first two games JOE KAY AP Sports Writer CINCINNATI (AP) — Defensive lineman Domata Peko doesn’t like what he’s seeing. A defense that took the Cincinnati Bengals to the playoffs last season has become a weight pulling them down. They’ve been shredded by Joe Flacco and rookie Brandon Weeden — not to mention their running backs — during one of their worst two-game stretches in years. The Bengals (1-1) are ranked 30th on defense heading into their game Sunday at Washington (1-1), and it’s a deserved place. “I know that we are a better defense than
we’ve been showing,” Peko said on Wednesday. “I think we’ve just got to settle down. It seems like everybody’s eyes have been too wide open, like a deer in the headlights.” The numbers are eye-opening. A defense that allowed opponents to gain 400 yards only twice last season, including the playoffs, has given up 400 in each of the first two games. The Bengals have allowed 71 points — fourth-most in the NFL — and an astounding 8.36 yards on first down, by far the worst in the league. There’s more. During a 44-13 loss in Baltimore and a 34-27 win over Cleveland, the defense gave up 37 plays
of at least 10 yards. They gave up 430 yards and 439 yards in the first two games — more than in any game last season, when the defense finished No. 7 overall. Last season, Cincinnati allowed only one team — Seattle — to throw for 300 yards. The Ravens and Browns both topped that mark. Baltimore and Cleveland each rushed for more than 100 yards as well. The puzzling part is that it’s essentially the same defense. “It’s just doing our jobs, being where we need to do all the time, being consistent,” coach Marvin Lewis said. “We’re pressing a little bit, and it showed.” There have been changes already. Taylor Mays started the opener
at strong safety, but was benched after struggling. He was replaced by Jeromy Miles, who made his first career start against Cleveland. Cleveland took advantage of the middle of the field, with Weeden throwing for 322 yards, the most ever by a Browns rookie. Trent Richardson ran for 109 yards and scored on a 32-yard run and a 23-yard catch, the first Browns rookie running back to score both ways in a game. “We got the win, but we weren’t happy,” cornerback Leon Hall said. “Getting the first of the year is big but like anything else, you want to play well individually and as a defense. Obviously you are happy but at the same time you realize things aren’t as good
as they seem coming off a win and that you’ve got a lot of room to improve.” The defense suffered a huge setback when outside linebacker Thomas Howard tore up a knee during practice three days before the Cleveland game, ending his season. Howard was Cincinnati’s leading tackler last season. The rest of the linebackers struggled against the Browns, who completed a lot of quick passes to the middle of the field. Middle linebacker Rey Maualuga had a tough time keeping up. “He needs to play better,” linebackers coach Paul Guenther said. “He knows that, we know that. He’s had some good plays and some that he needs to play better on. I know a lot of
people criticize him, but he knows he needs to play better and he will play better.” The Ravens and Browns used extra blockers to protect their quarterbacks, limiting the Bengals to a total of five sacks. Defensive end Carlos Dunlap, who sprained his right knee during the preseason opener, is fully practicing this week and could return against the Redskins. Dunlap is the Bengals’ top pass rusher. “We’ve got some guys that have been nicked up,” Peko said. “Thank God it’s the first two games of the season, not in Week 14. That’s what the early games are for, to clean stuff up. Once we get that chemistry going again, we’ll be fine.”
Weeden recovers from dismal debut TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Brandon Weeden can be social again. One week after a dismal NFL debut drove the Browns rookie quarterback underground, causing him to avoid all media and forcing him to stay up late studying game tape to see what he did wrong in his first game as a pro, Weeden can show his face in public without shame. After throwing for 322 yards and two touchdowns in Cincinnati on Sunday, Weeden doesn’t have to hide. In fact, he’s even back on Twitter, a place he didn’t dare visit last week. “There’s been a lot of positive responses,” he said, “and I’ve responded
back to some people.” Weeden’s confidence is high following his performance in Sunday’s 34-27 loss, which eased some of the sting from his four-interception, 5.1-rating debacle in Week 1 against Philadelphia. Weeden completed 26 of 37 passes (70 percent) and finished with a 114.9 rating against the Bengals while setting a Browns rookie record for most passing yards in a game. According to STATS LLC, Weeden’s improvement of 109.8 in passer rating over a two-game span is the sixth highest by any quarterback since 2000. But beyond the huge jump in his numbers, Weeden showed he could take a punch and keep
fighting. If there was any concern about his ability to bounce back, there isn’t anymore. “It just shows me that I can play at this level,” he said Wednesday. It’s not that Weeden ever doubted his ability, but there were those outside the Browns who began to wonder if the team made a mistake in selecting the 28-year-old former minor league pitcher in the first round of this year’s draft. But those worries seemed valid after Weeden looked so unsure and almost frightened against the Eagles. Weeden took it upon himself to make things better. He stayed off social media sites, and avoided sports talk radio, TV and newspapers in the wake
of his poor showing in the opener. Weeden joked that he “didn’t let the nation tell me how bad I played.” He also spent last week watching game film, falling asleep one night at home while viewing some highlights on his iPad. “My wife gives me a hard time because I can’t stay awake in movies,” Weeden cracked. “I guess I can’t stay awake watching film either.” But the extra work paid off, and Weeden responded by lighting up the Bengals. His tight spirals impressed his teammates, so did his tenacity. “It’s cool just to see him have success because he’s one of us,” said wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi, who had five catches for 90
yards at Cincinnati. “You always wish success to one of your teammates and a guy like that. But just his mental toughness after he took so much flak from his first game. He didn’t play as well as he wanted to, and he said he was going to come back and play a good game and he did. “I think that’s just a scratch of what he’s going to do, and what he’s capable of doing.” Weeden’s turnaround can also be attributed to his willingness to accept criticism. Maybe because Weeden is more mature than the average rookie, Browns coach Pat Shurmur said he’s not afraid to point out mistakes to his QB. If Weeden does something Shurmur finds unacceptable, he hears
about it. “Oh yeah, I’m tough on him,” Shurmur said. “I’m his coach. I admire what he is as a player, but I look at him like I would look at my son. I’ve got no problem saying the tough stuff to him, I really don’t. The way this thing works is the head coach, the coordinator (Brad Childress) and the quarterback coach (Mark Whipple) are all on the same page with what we say to him.” Shurmur said Weeden can take whatever criticism the coaches throw at him. “You can present it to Brandon however you want,” Shurmur said. “You can whisper it to him or you can put a little oomph into it. He handles it both ways.”

POLL
Obama viewed more favorably An AP-GfK poll shows President Barack Obama’s approval rating has outpaced his opponent Mitt Romney, but both candidates are polling closely among likely voters. In the election for president in November 2012 … for whom will you vote? Among likely voters: Obama/ Biden: 47%
Don’t know/ Refused: 5%
Do you have a favorable or unfavorable impression? Among likely voters: 52%
Romney/ Ryan: 46%
Neither: 2%

this year as a hard decision. Twenty-three-yearold Devin Vinson of Starksville, Mass., says he’s waiting to hear more about the candidates’ positions on education, foreign policy and more. Vinson, a Republican, is leaning toward Obama but says the close race has him weighing his decision this time more carefully than four years ago, when his family persuaded him to back Republican John McCain. “That was my first time voting and I just didn’t really care about it back then,” he admits. 59% expect win The poll shows most Americans say they have a good idea of what each candidate would do if elected, and voters who know a good deal about both men tilt toward Romney. Still 59 percent in this group expect Obama to win a second term. Romney lost his summertime edge on the economy as his campaign was distracted by criticism of his hasty response to the Obama administration’s handling of the eruption of violence in Egypt and Libya last week and by his failure to mention the war in Afghanistan or thank the troops in his prime-time convention speech. Now, he’s trying to explain his “inelegant” comments about Americans who are dependent on government. “This has not been the best three weeks in the history of American politics for the Romney campaign,” allows GOP consultant Rich Galen. But he said the most significant trend is that the economy remains “a great weight around the
AP
ankles of Obama.” Democratic consultant Chris Lehane, meanwhile, zeroes in on significance of the Obama’s job approval rating edging back up above 50 percent. Fiftytwo percent of likely voters approved of how Obama’s handling his job, as did 56 percent of all adults. Further, 42 percent of Americans think the country is heading in the right direction, up from figures in the low- to mid-30s over the summer. Futures on Obama “If you were buying a stock and you were looking at the underlying trends, you would be putting your futures on Obama,” Lehane said. The Associated Press-GfK Poll was conducted Sept. 13-17, 2012, by GfK Roper Public Affairs and Corporate Communications. It involved landline and cellphone interviews with 1,512 adults nationwide, including 1,282 registered voters and 807 likely voters. Results for the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points, for registered voters it is 3.4 percentage points and likely voters it is 4.3 percentage points. ——— AP News Survey Specialist Dennis Junius and AP writers Stacy A.

ing the victor in Campaign 2012: Among all adults, Obama has a commanding lead, favored by 52 percent of Americans to just 37 percent for Romney. That gap virtually vanishes among likely voters, promising an allout fight to gin up enthusiasm among core supporters and dominate get-out-the-vote operations. That’s an area where Obama claimed a strong advantage in 2008 and Republicans reigned four years earlier. A look at the poll The poll gives both sides reason for hope: • Romney is beckoning to voters unhappy with Obama’s handling of the economy, and there is plenty of grim sentiment in the survey. Sixty-five percent of likely voters think the economy is worse off or no better than four years ago, 57 percent don’t expect unemployment to ease in the next year and 39 percent don’t expect the economy to get any better in the next 12 months. • Obama, for his part, can take encouragement from other findings. His approval rating is back above 50 percent for the first time since May, and the share of Americans who think the country is moving in the right direction is at its highest level since just after the death of Osama bin Laden in May 2011. And on the economy, 49 percent of adults think things will get better in the next year, up from 41 percent before the conventions. The two candidates run about even among likely voters in the poll on who would best handle the economy or the federal budget deficit, but Obama has narrow advantages on protecting the country, social issues and health care. L’Tonya Ford, a 42year-old Democrat from Detroit, said that progress on the economy has been slower than she’d like but that all signs point to Romney making things worse. Obama’s “trying to do something,” she says. “Give him four more years and let him do what he’s doing.” Sizing up the race Sixty-eight-year-old Vicki Deakins, a Republican sizing up the race from Garland, Texas, is a solid Romney supporter, but she exudes more enthusiasm for GOP running mate Paul Ryan than for Romney himself. “I don’t know that Romney knows how to state emphatically, with fire and passion and guts and all that other stuff, what he wants to do,” she says. “I don’t think he’ll be a great orator. But I do think he’ll get the job done.” Americans have been increasingly focused on the presidential race since the two candidates barreled out of their summer conventions into the fall campaign: Nearly three-fourths of adults say they’re paying close attention now, up modestly from earlier in the summer. And with early voting scheduled to be under way in two dozen states by week’s end, just 17 percent of likely voters remain undecided or say that they might change their minds. Among those voters still making up their minds or open to changing their positions — the coveted bloc of “persuadable” voters — 56 percent see their choice

Sidewalk policy discussed on Sept. 12 to review and talk about options for the intersection of Ohio 119 and Second Street. Council members were invited to attend the meeting. A purple martin bird house that was donated to the village by the Paul Opperman family will be placed near the front entrance of Anna Community Park. New exercise equipment for Anna Community Park was to arrive last week. The council discussed the need to get a new police cruiser for the village. The cruiser will need to be ordered this fall in order to have it by spring. The council discussed how often the Anna Police Department and Anna Fire Department inspect their vehicles. The Anna Fire Department has a checklist and inspects their vehicles twice a month and after each run. The Anna Police Department does a “basic check” at the beginning of each shift. Council member Kurt Ehemann is preparing a checklist for the Public Works Department and the Anna Police Department. Council member Kathleen Eshleman thanked Anna Fire Chief Tim Bender and the Anna Fire Department for cleaning the water tower in the village. Strasser told council members there is a vacancy on the Parks and Recreation Committee due to the resignation of Sherry Shoemaker. Strasser said there will be a “Scarecrows in the Park” scheduled for Oct. 14 at Anna Community Park. Local residents can make and bring a scarecrow to the park between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. that day, and the public can come to the park and vote on their favorite scarecrow between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. that afternoon. Residents are asked to
bring cans of food to use to “vote” for their favorite scarecrow. Each can is worth one vote. Children will be able to have their photo taken with Mr. Scarecrow, and the cost will be five cans of food. The Anna District Historical Society will have refreshments available for donations.

Climate change event set WAPAKONETA — The Petersburg Social Justice Commission, which represents Immaculate Conception (Botkins), St. Joseph (Wapakoneta), and St. Lawrence (Rhine) parishes will host “A Covenant for the Climate” on Sunday at 7 p.m. in the St. Joseph Parish Life Center, Wapakoneta. Elizabeth Groppe, associate professor of theology at Xavier University, will speak about the science of climate change and the responses of people of faith. The illustrated presentation is free and open to the public. Record-breaking floods, droughts, extreme temperatures, tornadoes and hurricanes — they
don’t foretell the end of the world, but do represent a changing climate, according to the event’s promoters. The author of “Eating and Drinking,” Elizabeth Groppe, is currently writing “Guarding the Flame of the Grandeur of God: Christian Faith and Practice in an Era of Ecological Crisis.” In a related event the Social Justice Commission will also host a screening of the film “Sun Come Up” on Oct. 2 at 7 p.m., also in the St. Joseph Parish Life Center, Wapakoneta. This Academy Awardnominated documentary tells the story of some of the world’s first “climate refugees,” inhabitants of islands near Papua, New
Guinea, who were forced to move because of rising ocean levels. The film is being screened nationwide during the first week of October in conjunction with the Feast of St. Francis. Both events are free and open to the public. Anyone with questions may call (419) 7384924.

ANNA — Anna Village Council members heard updates on a variety of projects including the village sidewalk policy and changing the dates of the Anna Homecoming during their recent meeting. Village Administrator Nancy Benroth gave an update on the South Pike Street sidewalks during the meeting and gave council members estimates for the sidewalks at properties along the street. Property owners have not been notified about the issue yet. Benroth told council members that she was concerned that the village’s sidewalk policy has not been “uniform” through the years and she suggested that the council might consider placing $6,000-$7,000 in the village budget per year to repair sidewalks in order to save local residents money. Benroth stated that South Pike and East Main Streets will need to be priorities. She suggested that council members check village neighborhoods and make plans for future sidewalk repair based on need. Benroth will research previous village sidewalk policies. Council member Gary Strasser told council members that the Anna Civic Association is thinking about changing the dates of the Anna Homecoming to June 14 and 15. The organization has requested approval from the council members. The council had no problem with changing the dates. Benroth told council members that Joy Bond, a St. Mary’s Income Tax Department representative will be in the village to meet with local residents who have delinquent income tax payments. Bond will be in the village on Sept. 24 and 25. Benroth also met with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT)

There is no specific preparation needed, but participants should be ready for the challenges of college-level course content.
The listing for the upcoming class states the following: “Is color universal, or is it cultural? Do we all see the same colors? What do colors suggest? Why are some colors soothing while others are threatening? Exploring these questions will take us through the worlds of Optics and Sir Isaac Newton, through the rise of civilizations, language analysis and literature, through biology, genetics and chemistry, through behavioral psychology and anthropology. Your view on color will be for-
ever changed.” Senior College is the first expression of Service Teaching (www.serviceteaching.org) which brings together content experts with a passion for teaching, and older active adults with a passion for lifelong learning. For questions about the courses or teaching opportunities with Senior College, email Brad at macreeReed donly@me.com. Any one wishing to sign up for classes should do so now by contacting Lu Ann Presser at 497-6542.
Area business schedules free hearing evaluations GREENVILLE – Because more older people are staying in the workforce longer, Beltone will offer free complete evaluations for a limited time. Between now and 2016 the number of older people in the workforce is expected to soar, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Workers between the ages of 55 and 64 are expected to increase by 36.5 percent; the number of workers between
65 and 74 is expected to climb by 83.4 percent, and the number of workers who are 75 and older is expected to grow by 84.3 percent. By 2016, the BLS says, workers age 65 and over are expected to make up 6.1 percent of the total labor force-a steep jump from their 3.6 percent share in 2006. This means people need to do what they can to age productively. It means they need to take charge of their
health, including their hearing health, so they can maximize their chances for success on the job. Beltone notes that more than 34 million Americans suffer from hearing loss — about 11 percent of the U.S. population — and 60 percent of them are below retirement age, according to the Better Hearing Institute. “I urge anyone planning to stay in the workforce longer to take that first, most critical step
to optimizing your hearing health and enhancing your chances for career success and have your hearing evaluated,” Dr. Lucille Hosfeld, audiologist at Beltone. “It will help you determine if you may need a more thorough hearing test by a hearing health professional. Your hearing health and continued job success are within your control.” For the free evaluation, call (937) 548-4242 to schedule an appointment.

ARLO & JANIS
HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, Sept. 21, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’ll love discussing profound topics like philosophy, religion and issues about foreign culture with other people today. In fact, if you can travel anywhere, by all means do so. Expand your world! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a good day to divide shared property or discuss how to share things; however, be careful. Don’t give away the farm. (People feel generous today, including you.) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) All your dealings with others will be unusually warm and friendly today. It’s a particularly good day to enjoy the company of partners and close friends. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Work relations with customers and coworkers are very upbeat today. Workrelated travel also is likely. Enjoy whatever you’re doing. (Ask others for help.) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a playful, romantic, fun-loving day! Enjoy sports, movies, vacations, romantic diversions and playful activities with children. Look for ways to express your own creative talents. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You’ll enjoy entertaining at home today. In fact, all family gatherings or interaction with relatives will be mutually generous and upbeat. (Why not take advantage of this?) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Although the dust is still settling from yesterday, today you feel optimistic about life. Because of this, you will be unusually effective at selling, promoting, writing, teaching or acting. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Be careful shopping today. It’s very easy to go overboard, financially speaking. If you’re pondering a major purchase, give it a sober, second thought. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a feel-good day! It’s easy to be generous to others, although you might not feel like working. You simply want the freedom to do your own thing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You won’t mind putting the welfare of others before your own today because you’re feeling unusually magnanimous. It’s easy to give to others — both your time and money. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) All group activities will be upbeat and enjoyable today. People are in a good mood, and everyone feels friendly toward each other. Accept all invitations! PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) When dealing with authority figures today, don’t promise more than you can deliver (you will be tempted to do this). Remain realistic despite your eagerness to please and confidence that you can do so. YOU BORN TODAY You’re concerned with social issues and like to keep abreast of the times. You’re always fascinated by what others do. You’re modern in other ways as well, including your dress and your lifestyle. You value beauty and aesthetics and are intrigued by secrets and mystery. Good news! Your year ahead might be one of the most powerful years of your life. Dream big! Birthdate of: Bill Murray, actor; Stephen King, writer; Maggie Grace, actress.

September 20, 1912 Driving down West avenue this morning, we noticed two automobiles pass each other opposite a pole that telephone stands in the street outside the gutter. It was a difficult job. The same is true of many other streets in the city. Why does this condition exist? The answer is that Sidney has and still is continuing to permit it to exist. These places are dangerous in some cases and anything but ornamental anywhere. The wires should have been buried in the ground from the beginning. ——— Robert Cook, mayor of DeGraff, discovered a broken rail on “Dead Man’s Curve” on the Indianapolis Division of the Big Four yesterday morning. Big Four Flyer No. 11, westbound, composed of Pullman sleepers was nearly due. Cook ran up the track, taking off his coat as he ran, and flagged the train with the garment. The engineer saw the signal and was able to bring the train to an emergency stop. About a year ago, Mayor Cook found a broken rail in nearly the same spot and took off his shirt to flag down the approaching passenger train.
to tendon rupture. The first thing to do is stop running. You can walk if walking isn’t painful, but don’t push it. Warm compresses applied to the tendon often make the pain less intense. If they don’t, try icing it. Taking one of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, like Advil, controls pain and takes care of any inflammation. Above all, rest is the most important ingredient for healing. Don’t attempt to run until the tendon has been free of pain for two weeks. You can stay in good condition by exercising in other ways. Swimming won’t put the tendon in jeopardy. You want to know the cause; usually, it’s overuse. You have started running farther than
usual or have increased your running time. New running shoes also can be responsible. Runners whose feet turn inward, on the big-toe side of the feet, are more likely to get this kind of tendon trouble. Don’t ask for a cortisone injection. It can weaken the tendon. If your pain lasts longer than another week, get to the family doctor for an evaluation. Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

was away at college, many students expected their parents to pay their tuition and living expenses, but stay out of their lives. Tammi’s Mom said she’d be happy with a call or text every two or three days. I don’t think that is unreasonable. I have lived several hundred miles away from my family for 10 years now. I enjoy a great deal of independence, but I know it worries my parents to have me so far away. I call them every day or two. These quick phone calls (usually only five minutes) help them see that I’m safe and happy, and also allow me to remain emotionally close to my family, even though I’m not geographically close. Abby, asking for a quick text, which takes
only a few moments, is NOT “helicopter parenting.” — INDEPENDENT GIRL IN ARIZONA DEAR ABBY: To Tammi’s Mom, I say — it’s time to get a life! Do things now that you’ve always wanted to do. If you’re married, find things in common again. Sometimes when we raise our kids, we can become consumed with their wants and needs, and our marriages suffer.

If you get yourself busy, you’ll spend less time sitting by the phone. — KNOWS FROM EXPERIENCE

Johnson divorce finalized FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Chad Johnson’s divorce is final from reality TV star Evelyn Lozada. It comes a month after his arrest on a domestic battery charge. Johnson attorney Adam Swickle confirmed the information Wednesday. The couple wed on
July 4. The receiver says he legally changed his last name back to Johnson from the playful Ochocinco because of his marriage to Lozada. Johnson was battling for a roster spot on the Miami Dolphins when Lozada accused him of head-butting her during an argument and filed for divorce.
