Romney, Ryan plan Ohio bus tour LIMA (AP) — Mitt Romney’s campaign says the Republican presidential candidate and running mate Paul Ryan will campaign across Ohio by bus next week. The campaign says Ryan will begin in Lima (LY’-muh) on Monday and then join Romney in Cincinnati on Tuesday. Romney will then head to Dayton that day, and on Wednesday Romney will campaign in Columbus, Cleveland and Toledo while Ryan is elsewhere.
The campaign isn’t yet saying exactly where the candidates will be stopping or what they’ll do during those visits. Romney is planning a more aggressive schedule of traditional campaign events in battleground states like Ohio. The state is considered likely to be crucial to Romney’s chances of President unseating Barack Obama. No Republican has ever taken the White House without winning Ohio.
Who are Romney’s 47 percent? BY CONNIE CASS The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Just which 47 percent of Americans was Mitt Romney talking about? It’s hard to say. He lumped together three different ways of sorting people in what he’s called less-than-elegant remarks. Each of those three groups — likely Obama voters, people who get federal benefits and people who don’t pay federal income taxes — contains just under half of all Americans, in the neighborhood of 47 percent at a given moment. There’s some overlap, but the groups are quite distinct. Confusingly, Romney spoke as if they’re made up of the same batch of Americans. A look at the three groups: OBAMA VOTERS What Romney said: “There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what.” He’s right on the nose, according to the latest Associated Press-GfK poll: Forty-seven percent of likely voters say they support Obama. And 46 percent say they support Romney, essentially a tie. This number fluctuates from poll to poll and week to week and could shift substantially before Election Day. Who they are: • Most are employed: Sixty-two percent of the Obama voters work, including the 10 percent working only part time. A fourth are retired. Five percent say they’re temporarily unemployed. • Most earn higherthan-average wages. Fifty-six percent have household incomes above the U.S. median of $50,000. Just 16 percent have incomes below $30,000, and about the same share (20 percent) have incomes of $100,000 or more. • They’re all ages but skew younger than Romney’s voters: Twenty percent are senior citizens and 12 percent are under age 30. • They’re more educated than the overall population: Forty-three percent boast four-year college degrees or above; 21 percent topped out with a high school diploma. PEOPLE WHO GET FEDERAL BENEFITS What Romney said: “There are 47 percent … who are dependent on government … who believe they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it.” Whether they are dependent and believe they are entitled to anything is arguable, but Romney’s statistic is about
right — 49 percent of the U.S. population receive some kind of federal benefit, including Social Security and Medicare, according to the most recent Census Bureau data. Looking only at people who receive benefits that are based on financial need, such as food stamps, the portion is smaller — just over a third of the population. Many people get more than one type of benefit. The biggest programs and their percentage of the U.S. population: • Medicaid: 26 percent • Social Security: 16 percent • Food stamps: 16 percent • Medicare: 15 percent • Women, Infants and Children food program: 8 percent THOSE WHO PAY NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX What Romney said: “Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax.” Romney’s about on target — 46 percent of U.S. households paid no federal income tax last year, according to a study by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. Most do pay other federal taxes, including Medicare and Social Security withholding. And they’re not all poor. Some middle-income and wealthy families escape income tax because of deductions, credits and investment tax preferences. Why they don’t pay: • About half don’t earn enough money for a household of their size to owe income tax. For example, a family of four earning less than $26,400 would owe no taxes using the standard exemptions and deductions. • About 22 percent get tax breaks for senior citizens that offset their income. • About 15 percent get tax breaks for the working poor or low-income parents. • Almost 3 percent get tax breaks for college tuition or other education expenses. Who they are: • The vast majority have below-average earnings: Among all who don’t owe, 9 out of 10 make $50,000 or less. • But some of the wealthy escape taxes, including about 4,000 households earning more than $1 million a year. ——— Associated Press Deputy Polling Director Jennifer Agiesta contributed to this report. ——— Follow Connie Cass on Twitter: http://www.Twitter.com /ConnieCass

AMISH WOMEN exit the U.S. Federal Courthouse Amish people guilty in the hair- and beard-cutting in Cleveland on Thursday. The jury found all 16 attacks against fellow Amish in Ohio.
Amish guilty of hate crimes BY THOMAS J. SHEERAN The Associated Press CLEVELAND (AP) — Sixteen Amish men and women were convicted Thursday of hate crimes for a series of hair- and beard- cutting attacks on fellow sect members in a religious dispute that offered a rare and sometimes lurid glimpse into the closed and usually self-regulating community of believers. A federal jury found 66-year-old Samuel Mullet Sr., the leader of the breakaway group, guilty of orchestrating the cuttings last fall in an attempt to shame mainstream members who he believed were straying from their beliefs. His followers were found guilty of carrying out the attacks, which terrorized the normally peaceful religious settlement that aims to live simply and piously. Prosecutors and witnesses described how sons pulled their father out of bed and chopped off his beard in the moonlight and how women surrounded their mother-in-law and cut off two feet of her hair, taking it down to the scalp in some places. Prosecutors say they targeted hair because it carries spiritual significance in their faith. The defendants face prison terms of 10 years or more at their Jan. 24 sentencing. Prosecutors plan to file a request Friday to revoke bond for de-
fendants who had remained free pending trial. All the defendants are members of Mullet’s settlement that he founded in eastern Ohio near the West Virginia panhandle. The Amish eschew many conveniences of modern life, including electrical appliances and automobiles, and embrace their centuries-old roots. Federal officials said the verdicts would send a message about religious intolerance. “The victims in this case are members of a peaceful and traditional religion who simply wanted to be left to practice their religion in peace,” U.S. Attorney Steven Dettelbach said. “Unfortunately, the defendants denied them this basic right and they did so in the most violent way.” Members of the Amish community who sat through the trial hurried into a hired van without commenting, some covering their faces. Defense attorneys said the defendants were bewildered by the verdicts and said likely appeals would be based on a challenge to the hate crimes law. “They really don’t understand the court system the way the rest of us have, being educated and reading newspapers,” said Joseph Dubyak, whose client, Linda Schrock, has 10 children with her husband, who was also convicted. Attorney Rhonda Kotnik said the verdicts
would destroy Mullet’s community of about 25 families. The defendants, including six couples, have a total of about 50 children, she said. “The community is going to be ripped apart. I don’t know what’s going to happen to all their chil-
dren,” she said. The suspects had argued that the Amish are bound by different rules guided by their religion and that the government had no place getting involved in what amounted to a family or church dispute.
NEW YORK (AP) — Add a pair of blue jeans to the grocery list. Starting Friday, shoppers at a remodeled Kroger store in Ohio will be able to buy clothing in addition to food, gas and furniture. The nation’s largest traditional supermarket chain says it will be the first time one of its namesake stores sells clothing. “It’s a one-store test. We’ll see how that goes and make decisions based on customer feedback,” said Keith Dailey, a spokesman for The Kroger Co. The test comes as traditional supermarkets struggle to compete with big-box retailers such as Target Corp. and WalMart Stores Inc., which have expanded their food sections and draw shoppers with low
prices. Traditional supermarkets now account for 51 percent of grocery sales, down from 66 percent in 2000, according to UBS Investment Research. To hang onto customers, Kroger has been working to improve the shopping experience and differentiate itself from the pack. For example, the company has cut down on checkout wait times and offers a loyalty program that offers customers discounts base on their past purchases. In select locations, it also has “cheese masters,” or associates who wear red jackets and offer customers expertise on cheese selections. The clothing section at the Kroger Marketplace in Mansfield will have shoes, jewelry and undergarments.

Man executed for killing 2 strangers LUCASVILLE (AP) — An Ohio death-row inmate used his last words Thursday to repeatedly apologize to the family members of his two victims and tell them that he hopes they can let their pain die with him. Donald Palmer, 47, was executed by lethal injection at the state prison in Lucasville in southern Ohio about 23 years after he shot and killed two men he didn’t know along a rural road. “I want you to know I’ve carried you in my heart for years and years,” Palmer told six women in the room who are the widows, daughters and a niece of the men he killed. “I’m so sorry for what I took from you … I hope your pain and hurt die with me today.” Palmer also told the women that he knows the pain of losing a parent, a sibling and a child, and that he wished his execution could bring their loved ones back to them. “I know it can’t,” he said. “I pray that you have good lives now. I’m sorry.” Shortly after that, intravenous lines in both Palmer’s arms began delivering a fatal dose of pentobarbital, causing
his chest to heave as he breathed heavily and his eyes fluttered. Later his head twitched up and down, and nine minutes after that, the prison warden declared his time of death at 10:35 a.m. Palmer was convicted of aggravated murder in the May 8, 1989, shooting deaths of Charles Sponhaltz and Steven Vargo along a Belmont County road in eastern Ohio. Both of the married fathers were strangers to Palmer, and both were shot twice in the head. Palmer and a friend had been staking out the home of a man who once dated his ex-wife when Sponhaltz rear-ended his truck and was shot, according to court records. Vargo was a passing driver who happened upon Sponhaltz’s killing and was also shot. Their daughters and widows spoke to each other before and during the execution, with one saying that the small, brick execution chamber with a metal bed was too elaborate for Palmer. “There should be no sheet on that damn bed,” said Charlene Farkas, one of Sponhaltz’s daughters. “It should be in the ground in the dirt.”

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Friday, Sept. 21, the 265th day of 2012. There are 101 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 21, 1912, magician Harry Houdini first publicly performed his socalled “Chinese Water Torture Cell” trick at the Circus Busch in Berlin, escaping after being immersed upside-down in a vertical water tank, his ankles secured in a set of stocks which made up the tank lid, which was locked into place. On this date: ■ In 1792, the French National Convention voted to abolish the monarchy. ■ In 1893, one of America’s first horseless carriages was taken for a short test drive in Springfield, Mass., by Frank Duryea, who had designed the vehicle with his brother, Charles. ■ In 1897, the New York Sun ran its famous editorial, written anonymously by Francis P. Church, which declared, “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.” ■ In 1912, legendary cartoon animator Chuck Jones was born in Spokane, Wash. ■ In 1937, “The Hobbit,” by J.R.R. Tolkien, was first published by George Allen & Unwin, Ltd. of London. ■ In 1938, a hurricane struck parts of New York and New England, causing widespread damage and claiming some 700 lives. ■ In 1948, Milton Berle made his debut as permanent host of “The Texaco Star Theater” on NBC-TV. ■ In 1962, “The Jack Paar Program,” a weekly, prime-time show that followed Paar’s stint on “The Tonight Show,” began a three-year run. ■ In 1970, “NFL Monday Night Football” made its debut on ABC-TV as the Cleveland Browns defeated the visiting New York Jets, 31-21. ■ In 1982, Amin Gemayel, brother of Lebanon’s assassinated president-elect, Bashir Gemayel, was himself elected president. National Football League players began a 57-day strike, their first regular-season walkout ever. ■ In 1987, NFL players called a strike, mainly over the issue of free agency. (The 24-day walkout prompted football owners to hire replacement players.) ■ In 1989, Hurricane Hugo crashed into Charleston, S.C. (the storm was blamed for 26 directlycaused U.S. deaths).

Beagle survives 70-foot fall BURLINGTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) — A beagle named Brandi survived a 70-foot fall from a New Jersey bridge. The dog got away from its owner during a walk along the Burlington Riverfront Promenade Friday night. Bridge officer Rob Bittner saw Brandi walking up the Burlington-Bristol Bridge toward Pennsylvania. Bittner tells The CourierPost of Cherry Hill he turned on his emergency lights to slow traffic and followed the dog. Bittner says Brandi was doing fine until she got to the top of the span and her paws felt a steel grate. The officer says Brandi jumped into the Delaware River as motorists tried to grab her. The beagle’s owner recovered her and took her to a veterinarian. Brandi was bruised around the abdomen, but didn’t have any broken bones.

Endeavour salutes Giffords en route to California LOS ANGELES (AP) — Space shuttle Endeavour returned to its California roots Thursday after a wistful crosscountry journey that paid homage to NASA workers and former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her astronaut husband. “That’s my spaceship,” said Endeavour’s last commander, Mark Kelly, as the couple watched the shuttle loop over Tucson, Ariz. Later in the day, a 747 jet carrying Endeavour swooped out of the desert sky and glided down a concrete runway at Edwards Air Force Base, 100 miles north of Los Angeles, not far from where the now-retired shuttle fleet was assembled. The shuttle and jumbo jet take off again after sunrise Friday to make low, sweeping passes over Sacramento, San Francisco, Silicon Valley and Los Angeles. Next stop: Los Angeles International Airport where Endeavour will be prepped for a slow ride on a special flatbed trailer through city streets next month to its final destination as a museum showpiece. Endeavour’s highly anticipated homecoming was twice delayed by stormy weather along the Gulf of Mexico. Early Wednesday, it departed from its Cape Canaveral, Fla., home base, soared over NASA centers in Mississippi and Louisiana, and made a layover in Houston, home of Mission Control. Crowds craned their necks skyward as the shuttle circled low over Florida’s Space Coast and Houston. After refueling in El Paso,

SPACE SHUTTLE Endeavour mounted on NASA’s Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) flies over Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., Thursday. Texas, Thursday, it flew over the White Sands Test Facility in New Mexico, an emergency shuttle landing site used once. Kelly requested that Endeavour pass over Tucson to honor Giffords, who is recovering after suffering a head wound in a shooting rampage last year. Before retiring from her House seat, she was a member of the House committee on science, space and technology. The couple watched from the roof of a University of Arizona parking garage. Former Giffords aide C.J. Karamargin said Giffords was
“elated” and started “hooting and hollering” when she spotted Endeavour. Kelley said seeing the shuttle reminded him how difficult it was to land. “Landing a space shuttle is not easy,” he said. “It doesn’t glide very well.” Endeavour’s maiden voyage into space two decades ago ended with a planned touchdown at NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center based at Edwards. Unlike a return from orbit, no ear-splitting twin sonic booms accompanied the latest return.
Known as the baby shuttle, Endeavour replaced Challenger, which exploded during liftoff in 1986. NASA lost a second shuttle, Columbia, which broke apart during re-entry in 2003. A replacement was not built. Fourteen astronauts died in the accidents. Six years after the Challenger tragedy, during Endeavour’s first flight, three spacewalking astronauts made a daring rescue of a stranded communications satellite. A year later, it was launched on a service repair mission to the Hubble Space Telescope.
Obama suggests U.S. surge troops Romney out of out of Afghanistan touch with America MIAMI (AP) — President Barack Obama cast Mitt Romney on Thursday as an out-of-touch challenger for the White House and an advocate of education cuts that could cause teacher strikes to spread from Chicago to other cities. The Republican countered that the U.S. economy “is bumping along the bottom” under the current administration and he predicted victory in the fall. The two men eyed each other across hotly contested Florida, a state with 29 electoral votes, more than any other battleground in the close race for the White House. “When you express an attitude that half the country considers itself victims, that somehow they want to be dependent on government, my thinking is maybe you haven’t gotten around a lot,” the president said. That was in response to a question about Romney’s recent observation that 47 percent of Americans pay no income tax and believe they are victims and entitled to an array of federal benefits. Obama spoke at a town
hall-style forum aired by the Spanish-language television network Univision. For his part, Romney was eager to move past that controversy, which has knocked him off stride. He disclosed plans for a three-day bus tour early next week through Ohio with running mate Paul Ryan and sought to return the campaign focus to the economic issues that have dominated the race all year. At a fundraiser in Sarasota, Fla., Romney looked ahead to his televised head-tohead encounters with Obama this fall. “He’s a very eloquent speaker, and so I’m sure in the debates, as last time … he’ll be very eloquent in describing his vision,” the Republican said. “But he can’t win by his words, because his record speaks so loudly in our ears. What he has done in the last four years is establish an economy that’s bumping along the bottom.” Less than seven weeks before Election Day, polls make the race a close one, likely to be settled in eight or so swing states where neither man has a solid edge.
AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — Nearly two years after President Barack Obama ordered 33,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan to tamp down the escalating Taliban violence, the last of those surge troops have left the country, U.S. officials said Thursday. The withdrawal, which leaves 68,000 American forces in the warzone, comes as the security transition to Afghan forces is in trouble, threatened by a spike in socalled insider attacks in which Afghan Army and police troops, or insurgents dressed in their uniforms, have been attacking and killing U.S. and NATO forces. And it’s called into question the core strategy that relies on NATO troops working shoulder to shoulder with Afghans, training them to take over the security of their own country so the U.S. and its allies can leave at the end of 2014 as planned. The number of U.S. forces there peaked at about 101,000 last year, and they have been coming out slowly over the past several months.
The surge was aimed at beating back the Taliban to give the Afghan government and its security forces the time and space to take hold. The key goal was to ensure that the Taliban did not regain a foothold in the country that could allow it once again to become a safe haven for terror groups. And there was hope that Taliban members would be willing to come to the peace table. Military commanders say the war strategy is on track and that they have made broad gains against the Taliban, wresting control of areas where the insurgents once had strong footholds. And U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has characterized the insider attacks as the last gasp of a desperate insurgency. But other top military leaders, including U.S. Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, are worried about the impact of the attacks on the troops. Dempsey called them a “very serious threat” to the war campaign and has declared that “something has to change.”
Islam vs. tolerance debated in Prophet film CAIRO (AP) — Behind the anger over a film mocking the Prophet Muhammad, public protest is giving way to measured debate over free speech in the new Muslim world. But while many crave more openness, few if any will go so far as to say that includes the right to blaspheme. Angry shouts of “No, no to America!” and “No to Israel!” have been balanced by voices condemning the weeklong violence that has targeted U.S. and other Western embassies and left more than 30 dead in seven countries, including Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans at the
U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. “Muslims should know that Islamic extremist groups bear some responsibility for the uproar taking place now, and for the collision of the world cultures,” said Sheik Hameed Marouf, a Sunni cleric in Baghdad. “The moderate people and clerics in the Islamic world should do their best to isolate and stop such groups that do not represent the true moderate values of our religion.” Religious extremists — whether Muslim, Jewish or Christian — “will lead only to more killings and more blas-
phemous acts,” he said. Anger is still palpable over the anti-Islam video made in California, as well as French political cartoons that denigrate Muhammad, but most of the Arab world has not seen protests for much of this week. The streets around the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, where clashes raged for days, were relatively quiet Thursday. Egyptian security forces patrolling the area casually leaned their rifles against the same compound walls that were scaled by angry protesters just last week. The easing of the violence reflects the balance that Egypt
and other Islamic nations are trying to find as they work to nourish democracy in societies where blasphemy is a crime. “There is no doubt that most Muslims take offense at anyone mocking the prophet,” said Mustafa Alani, an analyst at the Geneva-based Gulf Research Center. “The great divide is over the response. The vast majority of Muslims understand that the world is now interconnected and all kinds of material — good or offensive — pours in.” “What we see now is a rage against both the film and, indirectly, the interconnected world,” he said.

GINNY SHREVES (left) and Nancy Smith, both of Sidney, discuss plans for the 30th annual First United Methodist Church Autumn Leaves luncheon and bake sale. They developed the event in 1981. This year’s co-chairwomen are Roxy Shepherd and Barri Grandey. The latter is Shreves’s daughter.
Church dumpling orders on sale now Members of Sidney First United Methodist Church are preparing for the 30th annual Autumn Leaves Luncheon and Bake Sale, Oct. 2. The event will be at the church fellowship hall, 320 E. Poplar St., at 11 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. Tickets for the luncheon are $8. Dumplings will sell for $3 each or $9 for four. Tickets can be purchased at the church office Monday through Friday and Sunday before and after services. Dumplings that have been ordered can be picked up Sept. 30 from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Only a limited supply of dumplings will be available in the Sweet Shop, Oct. 2, so early orders are encouraged. The luncheon menu comprises open-faced hidden sandwiches, cider, relishes and angel food cake topped with whipped cream, hot fudge and heath bits. A
style show will be presented featuring women’s clothing from Christopher & Banks in Piqua. The Sweet Shop will be open before and after each seating, offering homemade baked goods and home-grown produce. The luncheon was the brainchild of Ginny Shreves and Nancy Smith in the spring of 1981. They were at a women’s retreat and were talking about the St. Paul’s Rose Luncheon that was held each year. One of them said, “Why can’t we do something like that and hold it in the fall and call it Autumn Leaves?” Committees were formed and a plea went out for workers and donations of desserts, baked goods and crafts. A day of making corn husk dolls was held. first Autum The Leaves meal comprised
hot tomato juice, broccoli rolled in ham with cheese sauce, spiced peach, muffins, pumpkin torte and a beverage. The ticket was $3. There were three seatings. Foxy Lady in Wapakoneta provided the style show. The famous apple dumplings were added in 1989 when the Blanche Wilheide Circle began making them from scratch. They made 100 dumplings. Now, 1,600 are made each year. There was no luncheon in 1993 because an addition was being made to the church. The luncheon took place for the first time in the fellowship hall in 1994. More than 30 years after Shreves and Smith had a good idea, Shreves’s daughter, Barri Grandey, and Roxy Shepherd will serve as this year’s event cochairwomen.

But in all reality it doesn’t matter who gets elected because when it comes to the changes that each candidate promises to make, whether it’s the Republicans or the Democrats, the Senate carries the power to shoot it down. It is all a game to them, and we are all pawns in their little game. Neither one of these parties are going to make a difference in my opinion. The common interest used to be we the people, now it’s we the politicians. Either way it is important for those who profess themselves to be Christians to pray for and respect our governing authorities, because all authority is put in place by God. We need to be turn our eyes to God for the changes we long to see. It is time we turn our country back over to God, for it is he and he alone who can bring healing to our land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then I will hear from heaven, and forgive their sins, and heal their land.” Notice it says “my people”? Do you deem yourself as a child of God? If so then this is God speaking to you. As far as the election goes there is only One who is qualified to run our country, and I am casting my vote now. I vote for God, the one and only true difference maker. Ben Byler 2744 Andrew Court
Which view? To the editor: We have just witnessed the national conventions of the two major political parties in our country. There were some outstanding moments in both conventions. The Republican convention included these events: Paul Ryan speaking about the rights granted by God and by nature; Mitt Romney promising to help us and our families; and who could forget Clint Eastwood looking directly at you and saying, “You own this land.” The Democratic convention also had highlights: A party film saying that “we belong to the government”; a voice vote in which most commentators agreed that the nays were louder than the ayes to include one mention of God in the party platform; and many speeches centered on women’s right to abortion on demand. Which of these views do you believe accurately reflect the values of this nation, and which view will you support in November? Nadine Bryan 480 E. Mason Road
illness when she was often hospitalized. For those wanting to assist a family with a sick child, Toal suggests doing practical things like “cleaning up the house, cooking a meal, picking up kids from school, picking up the day-to-day routine so the focus of the caregiver is free to take care of that child.” As the situation grew even more serious, she says it meant a great deal when others simply told her, “I’m praying.” For the parent dealing with the death of a child, the Sidney woman advises, “Trust the Lord with your heart, don’t turn on him and forgive everyone up front.” She readily admits that some folks make insensitive statements. “Unless they walked it, they don’t understand.”
Turning point For Toal, a turning point for her grieving occurred when she was finally able to let go of the anger that she carried for a long time. Later, “An amazing thing happened — something that had never happened before. A song began to form in my heart,” she wrote. “God gave me a song from heaven.” Many more songs would come to her. “I would begin getting a tune and lyrics and sing them into a recorder.” Not a trained musician, this musical journey began healing her. With the assistance of talented musician Drew Cline and Dove-nominated recording artist Kelly Connor Spallinger, Toal was able to profes-
sionally produce her collaborated renditions of these songs in her book. They are melodies filled with praise, rather than despair. “The Word (Bible) tells us the spirit of heaviness is depression,” writes Toal. She cites Isaiah 61:3 as her remedy: “To appoint unto them that mourn … the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.” Today, you can often find Catherine Toal at Sidney’s Lion’s Rest Prayer Center, which is located in the second floor of the LeRoi building, which her family owns. She has spoken at seminars and conferences, and tries to encourage others just as she once desperately needed encouragement during the dark days of losing her precious daughter.
Advice In closing, my personal advice for comforting those grieving comes from Charles Swindoll’s book, “Killing Giants, Pulling Thorns.” “A little girl lost a playmate in death and one day reported to her family that she had gone to comfort the sorrowing mother.‘What did you say?’ asked her father. ‘Nothing,’ she replied. ‘I just climbed up on her lap and cried with her.’” The writer is an Amy Award-winning journalist and speaker.

‘Rights’ confused
LETTER
To the editor: Caroline Kennedy was one of the featured speakers at the recent Democratic National Convention. She discussed several topics, including women’s rights. On that later subject she said, “As a Catholic woman I take reproductive rights seriously and today they are under attack.” I submit that Ms. Kennedy has her “rights” above this issue. And believe me when a little confused. Saying I say I think education is important. I that reproductive rights am a teacher.

TO THE EDITOR
Prayerfully consider voting pro-life To the editor: Life is precious. Wouldn’t you agree? Imagine, however, that you had a 25 percent chance of being murdered within the next nine months. Every day in America this is exactly what happens to the most innocent of human beings. There are more than 3,000 abortions provided every day in our country, which adds up to more than 1 million abortions in just one year. We truly are living during a holocaust. The most innocent human beings are being tortured to a cruel death because of what many say is a woman’s “choice.” Some will say that abortion should be kept legal in the case of rape or incest. Statistics show that abortion as a result of rape or incest is 1 percent. Those who find themselves in this situation are in my prayers, and I am sure they are suffering immensely. But let me ask you this. If you saw a picture of two fetuses, would you be able to tell which one was conceived by rape and which one was conceived in a marriage? Absolutely not! Every life is sacred. In this upcoming election, we can be a voice for the voiceless. The abortion holocaust is going on right here, right now, and yet there are citizens placing the issues of economics and education

JACKSON CENTER Schools fifth-graders create tree cookies out of paper plates during Outdoors Alive in the village park Wednesday. The project, developed by high school teachers, had high school students teaching naturebased studies to first, third and fifth-graders as they all enjoyed a day outside.
Students enjoy outdoor science program JACKSON CENTER — Jackson Center students participated in an outdoor science program organized by the science department, called Outdoors Alive. First-, third- and fifthgrade students had an opportunity to participate in various hands-on activities at the Jackson Center Park. Students
rotated through different stations throughout the day with the help of high school science students. The students participated in a nature walk through the woods, investigated stages in a life cycle of a tree and found out what a tree needs to survive. Students also observed the decomposers on rotting
logs they found in the woods. They used microscopes to observe organisms found in the pond and students used a soil pit to observe the different layers of soil. By participating in Outdoors Alive, students were able to connect what they are learning in the classroom to their community.

JACKSON CENTER — A Jackson Center boy is the focus of a wide community that is reaching out to help him and his family with the effects of a horseback riding accident. Seven-year-old Landon Reese was injured in June during an equestrian outing at Dew Downs near Port Jefferson. Landon was riding a pony at the time, but was kicked in the head by a nearby horse. According to a family website, Landon suffered a fractured skull. There has been an outpouring of concern and help, in not only the Jackson Center community, but also Shelby County and surrounding areas as well. On June 21, the Jackson Center United Methodist Church held a prayer vigil. The Dew Downs riding facility near Port Jefferson sponsored another event to benefit Landon and his family. Tickets currently are available at the village office for $10 for a raffle. Not only at the fundraiser at Dew Downs, but around the community, one will encounter people wearing shirts with this simple message: “Pray for Landon.” One of the organizers of the Dew Downs event was his aunt, Becky Reese. Activities at the fundraiser included a “poker ride” of around 161 horse riders who found their cards at stations along the riding trails at Dew Downs. There was also a bake sale, a raffle, and an auction for riding items, such as saddles. Landon was originally transported by CareFlight to the Children’s Hospital in Dayton, and is now undergoing treat-

LANDON REESE (right) works with his physical therapist at the Cleveland Clinic. ment at the Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital for Rehabilitation. His father, Jeff, says Landon is starting his sixth week at the Cleveland hospital. Because of the manner in which the staff there provides care, both parents have been deeply involved in his recovery process. He undergoes a typical regime of three hours per day of various forms of therapy, such as speech, occupational and physical therapy. He is also attending school sessions. Landon and other children there are also brought into a group session in which they can interact and play games. Portions of his therapy involve swimming and other forms of water therapy. He can also now go outside, so family members can take him on walks. He also has a tilt table, so that he can stand for a while. As father Jeff states, “His days are fairly busy. And it’s pretty intense stuff that he’s being challenged with, and doing very well with it.” He has now been able to be on a trike for the first time, and the therapist noted that he was able to detect that he was helping to propel the device, a fact that Jeff notes is “….very positive.” The father adds, “He’s made some great progress with
the vent. He’s been off the vent since Thursday.” Landon has also been able to go through nights without the aid of the ventilator. Landon is now able to eat around five ounces of food per day in addition to the supplements he is receiving. The father notes that his movement is increasing and that his strength is increasing daily. Landon is currently unable to talk, but he can communicate and respond to comments and questions. Jeff emphasizes that Landon has a good sense of humor and says that the family is able to laugh together and that “he’s shed a few tears with us.” Jeff, principal at Jackson Center School, says that the family is “very thankful for all of the people that not only attended this one (fundraiser), but also have done things throughout this whole ordeal … the gifts, donations. But most of all, I think we’d like to thank everybody for just their prayers and thoughts.” He adds, that he wanted to thank everyone, and encourage them “to keep the prayers rolling.” Anyone wanting to follow Landon’s progress may access a special website at http://prayforlandon/weebly.com/.

It was weird Friday. how many times we said
‘this is looking good,’ or ‘we got this,’ and then out of nowhere, they came and shut it down. They just have tremendous team speed.” The Jackets got nothing going offensively, finishing with just 129 yards in total offense. “I was disappointed in how we seemed to take the easy way out on some things,” said Doenges. “We got away from doing what we were supposed to be doing.” Doenges is concerned this week, and with good reason. With their team starved for victories afer losing 20 in a row coming into the season, the Jacket fans couldn’t be blamed for looking down the schedule and seeing if there were any surefire wins. Most felt Belmont was one such game. “It’s a game I’m losing a lot of sleep over because of the amount of people saying this will be a win for us,” Do-
enges said. “It’s tough when 16 and 17-year-old kids hear that from the public. It’s hard for them to put the blinders on and listen to the coach. “But Belmont has great team speed and plays in a league that has unbelievable speed,” he continued. “Sometimes there’s a negative connotation to the Dayton City League, but Thurgood Marshall is the No. 2-ranked team in the state right now and it’s a league that has unbelievable athletes. And Belmont is not short on them.” Doenges is hoping the Jacket offense can get cranked up again. “I still think our defense has done a nice job,” he said. “We’ve just put them in so many bad situations. We have to get the offense moving, and we’ve made some changes to zero in on some things we do well. We’re close, but we’re not getting the job done.”
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — What’s brewing with the 2012 Ohio State Buckeyes ... BUCKEYES BUZZ: The video was all over the place moments after California Southern coach Lane Kiffin cut short his post-practice news conference on Wednesday when a reporter asked about an injured player. Kiffin started out by saying what a good practice his team had. Then he grimaced when asked about the injury, offered no comment, and said he was leaving. End of news conference. Duration: 29 seconds. It’s still early in the Ohio State regime of Urban Meyer, but he seems to recognize fans want to know about personnel and, as an extension, reporters ask questions about injuries. Wednesday After night’s practice, Meyer was asked about his team’s health. He didn’t blanch. He didn’t make a face. He said RB Carlos Hyde (knee ligament sprain) and DL Michael Bennett (groin) would not play on Saturday against UAB and that DL John Simon (shoulder) was limited in practice but was expected to play. midway Then, through the next question, without any encouragement from reporters, he said, “Oh, and C.J. Barnett has an ankle sprain and (Bradley) Roby has a sore shoulder. I’ll know more tomorrow. Both had limited practice
reps.” Meyer has been known to be prickly with media before, particularly during his time at Florida. He is brutally honest in assessing players and positions, stopping just short of ridiculing his secondary or wide receivers. But, so far at least, he has been open with the people who represent all those thousands of fans who tune in, turn out for or follow closely the Buckeyes each week. UAB STATUS: Blazers coach Garrick McGee was relieved to find out that starting center John Hix was not badly hurt in Saturday’s 49-6 loss at No. 8 South Carolina on Saturday. “It’s not as bad as we thought. The good news is that he only hyperextended his elbow,” he said. “He was down on the ground; a guy fell into his elbow. It was hurting him pretty bad during the game and he will be limited somewhat this week but I think he will be able to play.” NOMINATED: Simon is among 30 FBS players who are candidates for the 2012 Senior CLASS Award in college football. The nominees must be seniors who have made contributions in community, classroom, character and competition. Simon is joined by Wisconsin’s Montee Ball, USC’s Matt Barkley, Nebraska’s Jeff Burkhead, Indiana’s Adam Replogle and Notre Dame’s Manti Te’o, among others.

Thaddeus Snodgrass, a wide receiver from Springfield in the 2014 recruiting class, has offers from Ohio State, Georgia Tech, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Purdue, Wisconsin and others. He caught a 70-yard touchdown pass against Troy last Friday. Jonathan Haden, a running back from Friendship Academy (Washington, D.C.) in the 2014 recruiting class, lists Ohio State as one of his favorites. He is the brother of Cleveland Browns defensive back Joe Haden. Chris Worley, a 2013 linebacker/ defensive back, and Marshon Lattimore, a 2014 defensive back, could become the latest members of the Cleveland Glenville pipeline to Ohio State. Both have offers from OSU.

Last season, Williams He has completed only 52 percent of his passes. caught 58 passes. Advantage: Ohio State Advantage: Ohio State
OFFENSIVE LINE Ohio State leads the Big Ten in scoring and is second in rushing yards. But the line, along with the rest of the offense, has had troubling stretches of inconsistency. Last week after jumping out to a 20-7 lead on California, the Buckeyes had only two first downs in their next seven offensive series. Chris Hubbard, a two-year starter at left tackle, is the standout on the line on a UAB offense which ranks 108th nationally in scoring and 114th in rushing. Advantage: Ohio State
DEFENSIVE LINE OSU had a season-high six sacks against California and three of those belonged to defensive linemen – Johnathan Hankins, Garrett Goebel and John Simon. Hankins had 10 tackles in that game. Depth continues to be a concern with Michael Bennett out with a groin injury, Nathan Williams playing while still recovering from knee surgery in 2011 and Simon battling a sore shoulder. UAB is giving up almost six yards per rushing play and ranks 109th nationally in rushing defense. Advantage: Ohio State
LINEBACKERS Ryan Shazier had 13 tackles, just two short of his career best, in the win over California, and Etienne Sabino had seven tackles and a sack. Middle linebacker remains a question mark. Sophomore middle linebacker Curtis Grant has struggled at times. Reinstated Storm Klein got back on the field in his first game back after going to court on a domestic violence charge and being found guilty of a lesser offense. For UAB, Marvin Burdette is the most experienced player on the defense with 28 career starts. He is in the top 10 on the Blazers’ career tackles list. Advantage: Ohio State
JORDAN HALL The 5-foot-9, 194-pound running back from Jeannette, Pa. returned to the OSU backfield on Saturday, rushing for 87 yards on 17 carries. He was returning after surgery to repair a torn tendon in his foot in late June.
DEFENSIVE BACKS Ohio State had tackling problems several times against California in the secondary and there have been coverage issues at times this season, also. C.J. Barnett had 10 tackles and Reggie Roby had eight last week. Christian Bryant’s interception clinched the win over California. Safety Jake Ganus has UAB’s only interception. Advantage: Ohio State
RUNNING BACKS Jordan Hall returned from foot surgery to rush for a rather quiet 87 yards last week. He and coach Urban Meyer both said he looked rusty. One thing that might have been overlooked is that Hall brought a heightened sense of security to Miller in passing situations because of his blocking. Running the football will not appear on a list of things UAB does best. The Blazers are averaging 80 yards a game on the ground and their leading rusher Darrin Reaves averages 29 yards a game. Advantage: Ohio State

COLUMBUS — Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer has not built his reputation by playing it safe or going down the middle. The foundation of his football philosophy is being aggressive and relentless. He is known for speaking bluntly. But there is one question on which he has not staked out a strong position. Ask him if OSU quarterback Braxton Miller is a Heisman Trophy candidate and he will play it safe. Realistically, it’s early to speculate if Miller is Heisman worthy after three good games this season and a promising but uneven freshman season. But, hey, that’s the American way. It’s two months until we vote for president in 2012 and I’ve already heard speculation about what the matchup might be in 2016. Here’s what Meyer said earlier this week when asked about Miller being a candidate for the Heisman: “Oh, I don’t think he’s played enough. I’ve been lucky to have three guys go to New York, and it’s been fun to be a part of that. I think at the appropriate time I won’t say he’s not. But I don’t believe he is now. He hasn’t been playing well enough yet.” As a Heisman Trophy voter, I’m not a big fan of trying to anoint a winner of that trophy after one or two games or even after half a season. Most of my Heisman decisions have come at least 10 games into the season. Looking back at the last 10 years of my Heisman votes, that policy has been right just about as often as it has been wrong. If I could get a do-over on those 10 votes, I would keep my No. 1 selection the same five times and I would change it five times. I still like my vote for Robert Griffin III last year. I wouldn’t change my vote for Troy Smith in 2006, my selection of Vince Young over Reggie Bush in 2005, my vote for Tim Tebow in 2007 or my 2008 Colt McCoy pick. But I would change five of them. Most notably I would go with what my eyes told me after watching him in person twice and vote for Ben Roethlisberger in 2003 instead of voting him third. Will I vote for Braxton Miller? Probably some day. But I don’t know yet if it will be this year.

BULLETIN BOARD
Teachers to visit area industries NEW BREMEN — The New Bremen Schools Business Advisory Council has organized a half-day manufacturing tour as a part of the upcoming teacher in-service day on Monday. School officials and teachers will meet to discuss the importance of helping students prepare for life after graduation before breaking into groups to tour local manufacturing facilities. “We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to connect our local manufacturers with classroom teachers in New Bremen,” said Business Advisory Council member Scott Frey. “It’s vital that teachers understand what local career opportunities are available for students as they work toward graduating high school. We can help the businesses share what skills, training and education will be needed for future employees.” New Bremen Economic Development Director Angela Hamberg met with Crown Equipment Corp., New Bremen Machine and Tool, Safeway Packaging and the Southwestern Auglaize County Chamber of Commerce to organize the tours and program. “We’re very pleased with the response from local companies who are willing to open their facilities to such a large group of education professionals,” said Hamberg. “This is a wonderful example of the partnerships that exist between our schools, businesses and the Chamber. The real beneficiaries of a program like this are the students.” New Bremen School Superintendent Howard Overman noted that a student will often seek career and education advice from their classroom teachers, in addition to their guidance counselors and parents. “We really want to give our teachers a firsthand look at what skills our students will need to develop in order to go out and be successful after they leave us,” Overman said. “The Business Advisory Council has put together a great program, and we’re very pleased with the business participation. It means a lot to us for them to invite us into their facilities.”

Ohio Academy of Science honors Lehman, 3 teachers The Ohio Academy of Science has selected 62 Ohio schools and 356 teachers to receive Governor’s Thomas Edison Awards for Excellence in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) Education for their accomplishments during the 2011-2012 school year. Each will receive certificates from Ohio Governor John Kasich. Lehman Catholic High School was one of only 12 schools across the state to receive the maximum medium score of 10 points, the highest ranking. Science teachers from across the state have also been recognized as part of the same recognition program. Lehman Catholic science teachers who are being recognized are Tracy Hall, Ruth Baker and Sister Ginny Scherer. This is the 23rd consecutive year that Lehman Catholic has received the Governor’s Award for Excellence. Three of the other schools who received the maximum score were from the Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati: Carroll High School and Bishop Leibold E&W Campuses, all of Dayton. McNicholas High School in Cincinnati also received the award.

The Ohio Academy of Science initiated this educational partnership program in cooperation with the office of the governor and the Technology Division of the Ohio Department of Development to recognize schools and teachers who stimulate student scientific and technological research and extend STEM education opportunities beyond traditional classroom activities. The Technology Division of the Ohio Department of Development has supported this program since 1985 by grants to the Ohio Academy of Science. To receive the award, schools must conduct a local science fair with 20 or more students, qualify one or more of these students for one of the academy’s 15 district science days, have students participate in at least one more youth science opportunity be-
yond the classroom such as State Science Day, visits to museums, mentorship programs and extended field trips, Scherer and convince external reviewers from business and industry, government and academia how and to what extent the school’s program met the Academy’s definition of STEM education. “We go above and beyond the scope of the criteria for the award,” said Scherer, chairwoman of the Lehman Science Department. “Besides our annual science fair, we have a variety of extracurricular science experiences for our students, including competitive teams for Science Olympiad, TEAMS (Tests of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics, and Science) and Envirothon.” Over the last several years, Lehman has also been involved in the Ohio Energy Project, where high school students teach younger students about alternative sources of energy through
hands-on learning. “Not only do we have the extracurricular science experiences, but our curriculum includes AP and dual-enrollment science classes. Our science program is very broad. Essentially we do it all,” said Scherer, who has been the force behind the Lehman Science Department since 1988. “None of this happens without a lot of caring teachers and volunteers. Many people from the community and Lehman alumni are also involved in Lehman science activities, serving as coaches for the Science Olympiad team and helping to judge projects at the school science fair.” Scherer and her students have also spent many hours compiling information about the various activities of the Lehman Science Department to send to the award committee. The judges expect reports, photographs, competition results, and other documentation to accompany each year’s application. Thirty-five professionals — broadly representing STEM employers from business and industry, government, and academia — evaluate the applications in a blind review process.
Heat hampers summer rec programs This summer’s hot weather had an impact on recreation programs and swimming pool attendance, the Sidney Recreation Board learned at its recent meeting. Parks Director Duane Gaier presented a report on the 2012 municipal swimming pool, food program and recreation statistics. While the city added one additional site this year for the food program (Sherman Park), the attendance numbers were slightly off last year’s pace of 5,500 participants. It is assumed that because of the hot summer, some of the kids did not come out to the parks to eat. Attendance and receipts at the pool were lower than 2011. Two potential causes for this were that this year a corporate sponsor who had purchased pool passes for employees did not participate in the bulk-purchase program, and the record-setting heat in the Miami Valley. At one point, the pool water temperature reached the low 90s. At that temperature, the water is no longer comfortable or cooling. The recreation program continues to hold its own due to the in-kind donations of time and money from the community, Gaier reported. Many individuals do-
nated time to teach the clinics, and organizations assisted with funding for the supplies and equipment needed to run them. Gaier indicated that Jennie Rogers, recreation specialist, and her staff do a great job for the children in the community. They not only drop off the food at the parks, guard the children at the pool, and run some of the clinics, they take the time to get to know the kids involved at the pool, clinics and food program, he said. This was evident when Gaier visited the sites and the kids were joking and laughing, he said. In other business, Gaier told with the board about the purchase of a used scoreboard for the Legion Field at Custenborder Field. The current scoreboard is very dated, and no longer serviced by its manufacturer. It was repaired this past summer by Area Energy and Electric for the American Legion baseball team. A new scoreboard would have cost $22,000, plus installation and materials. The Parks Department purchased this used unit for $510 from the city of Celina. Parks staff will apply a new coat of paint and replace the light bulbs. Installation of the unit will be this fall in place of the old board. Gaier reported that Jim Heuing was in-
strumental in acquiring this new piece of equipment and saving the city thousands of dollars. The board votes to support a fundraiser proposed by the Sidney Dance Company. Katie Koester, representing the Sidney Dance Company (SDC), requested support from the board to put on a “color run” in Tawawa Park as a fundraiser for the SDC. The run, which will not be a timed race, will provide white shirts for the runners, and stations throughout the race route where volunteers throw or spray colored cornstarch on the runners. The powder will applied to them as they pass by and targeted below the shoulders. A festival of sorts will be held in the soccer basin where there will be sealed food, music, novelties and additional packets of cornstarch will be available for purchase. Control for the additional cornstarch packets will be maintained by a temporary perimeter fence for the event. The SDC has acquired commitment from two businesses to power wash the asphalt and areas around the color stations and have it cleaned and Tawawa Park ready to open again at 10 a.m.
Governor’s representative visits Edison PIQUA — Edison Community College hosted Rich Frederick, director of the governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation, on Tuesday for a discussion on collaborative efforts among secondary, post-secondary and local industry partners. The meeting included a tour of Edison’s facilities and provided a showcase of examples of local partnerships and curriculum development that has been strategically designed to create post-secondary employment pathways that will help solve work force gaps. The Ohio Workforce Transformation office has been working to establish “Regional Verticals” across the state, addressing the needs for a skilled workforce. The “Verticals” refer to the stages of a student going from a secondary education environment on to a post-secondary and then into employment.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your attention turns to home, family and your domestic life during the next six weeks. Conversations with parents will be significant. (Time to cocoon.) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) The pace of your days will accelerate in the month ahead, so get ready! Short trips, conversations with others and increased reading and writing will keep you on the go. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Expect to give more thought to finances and cash flow during the next month. But at a deeper level, you’ll be wondering what really matters in life. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Because the Sun is in your sign for the next month, it’s your turn to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. You’ll attract people and favorable situations. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Work alone or behind the scenes during the next month. Figure out what you want your new year (birthday to birthday) to be all about.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) For the next six weeks, the Sun will act like a spotlight on you. This is why people will notice you more than usual, especially bosses and VIPs. Hey! This lighting is flattering! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Travel during the next month. Do whatever you can to expand your horizons and get more out of life through learning and discovering adventure. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Focus on reducing debt and cleaning up loose details about inheritances, insurance matters and shared property. Many of you will feel unusually passionate in the next month as well! YOU BORN TODAY You want to know a myriad of things about endless subjects! You eagerly begin new projects because you love stimulation and you are naturally spontaneous. However, you are private. (Sometimes you shock others, which you rarely realize.) This coming year, something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish in order to make room for something new.

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.
