Honoring local Vietnam vets Trip to D.C. provides ‘long overdue’ recognition BY MELANIE SPEICHER mspeicher@sdnccg.com WASHINGTON, D.C. — They fought in a war no one wanted to be involved in. They weren’t welcomed home as the heroes they are. All that changed Saturday when more than 35 Vietnam War veterans from Shelby County visited the Wall built in their honor. They paused, touched the black granite stone and bowed their heads as they found the names of the sol-
diers and friends who didn’t come home. Jerome R. Frilling “To those soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen who served in Vietnam and around the world during that war, welcome to your memorial,” said Mike Bennett, chairman of the Shelby County Veterans to Washington, D.C., committee. “While this part of the mission is new to the committee, this recognition is long overdue for you.” James M. Fergerson “A lot of people have worked real hard
to get you here … the committee members, your drill sergeant, your family, that buddy in your foxhole and the citizens of Sidney and Shelby County,” said Bennett. Robert J. Gold “It was those who stared at their own needs in the economy and yet still donated to make sure you had what you needed to come here to share this moment with your spouse or caregiver,” he said.

VIETNAM WAR veteran Ron Wilges was surprised Saturday during the visit to the Vietnam Wall Memorial by Glenda DeVinney, daughter of the late Glen DeVinney. Wilges and Glen DeVinney were childhood friends in Sidney and both served in the Vietnam War. Glenda said she needed to be at the Wall with Wilges because her dad couldn’t be there. The elder DeVinney died of an Agent Orange-related illness.
Christmas comes early for vet from Sidney BY MELANIE SPEICHER mspeicher@sdnccg.com WASHINGTON, D.C. — Christmas came early for Vietnam veteran Ron Wilges, of Sidney. The daughter of his best friend, the late Glen DeVinney, surprised Wilges at the Vietnam Wall Saturday afternoon. “I just got a Christmas present in September,” said Wilges of the visit with Glenda DeVinney, of Alexandria, Va. “He was like a brother to me. He was a U.S. Marine. “Glen grew up in an orphanage in Sidney. We went to the same church. We grew up real close. He was my best friend.” “I came to see him because my dad couldn’t be here,” said DeVinney. “His wife called and mentioned that they would be in Washington this weekend. He and my dad were best friends. When I was growing up in Celina, my dad played on a softball team in Sidney. So we were always at their house. “I’ve been told he still carries a picture of my dad with him to this day.” DeVinney’s dad died of complications of Agent Orange. “After my dad passed
away, things in my family fell apart,” said DeVinney, 40. “I found my own way through the U.S. Army. I was in for six years.” She was stationed in Korea for one year and at the Pentagon for five years. “My dad was always a protector,” she said. “It was a culture shock for when he died.” When DeVinney arrived at the Wall, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to find Wilges. “I ran into one veteran from the group and I got so choked up I couldn’t get the words out,” said DeVinney. When she did find him, the tears flowed as they were reunited in front of the Wall. “Her dad would be so proud of her,” said Wilges. DeVinney saw the struggles her dad went through as a Vietnam veteran. “I was encouraged today (Saturday). Many of the veterans were not ready to come to the Wall,” she said. “There were people coming up to them thanking them for their service. There was a stigma on how it used to be — it’s not like that now. People of all ages are generally glad they served.”

them,” said Terry Wilt, of Botkins, who was accompanied on the trip by his wife, Sandi. “They also need to come to see the Korean and World War II memorials. They need to come.” “This has been a wonderful trip,” said Mrs. Wilt. “We’ve not wanted for anything on the trip. We really appreciate it.” Wilt, an Army veteran, served for one year in Vietnam. He looked for Robert Gold’s name on the Wall.

‘A grudge’
“There are still a lot of people with a grudge,” said Wilt. “I do think things are better now than when we returned home.” Wilt admits he never talks about the time he spent in Vietnam. Even his wife doesn’t know what he went through during the war. “When I came home, I was done with it. I don’t talk about it,” he said. “I’ve moved on with my life. I don’t regret going (to Vietnam), but I was glad to be home.” The couple’s first child, Terry Jr., was born while Wilt was in Vietnam.
grandma, Pauline Hawkey, had hip surgery and couldn’t go.” Jones said the trip was amazing and he learned something new about his grandpa. “I didn’t realize he was so bitter about the war,” said Jones. The teen thinks the trip will help his grandpa heal from the experiences he had during the war. “I think it helped him to see his friends’ names on the Wall,” said Jones. “And he got to see it with his Army buddies who are still here. I think it was good for him.”
Reunions
Hawkey was stationed in Chu Lai, Vietnam, for 13 months. He was an assistant driver for an amtrac, which is a tank that carries troops. The tank has had a .60-caliber machine gun on it. “It was bad enough,” said Hawkey of his tour of Vietnam. “There was a gal, Hanoi Annie, who was on the radio. Within a week and a half of us getting there, she read off everyone’s name in the company and read when everyone was going to die. “They played American music and that was the only station we could listen to, if you had a radio.” Jim Hall, one of the volunteers with the veterans group, encouraged Hawkey to go on the trip. The two had graduated from Sidney High School
Wilt said for the past six or seven years, his military unit has held reunions and he enjoys seeing the people he served with in Vietnam. Army veteran Jerry Stewart, of Sidney, was with the 1st Cavalry Division and was stationed in An Kye, Vietnam. He was a turbine engineer repairman for the helicopters. “I really wanted to see the Wall,” said Stewart of his decision to come on the tip. “This was in honor of my friends and other names on there. “The trip was fantastic.” “Everyone was very gracious,” said his wife, Jane. Stewart said the highlight of the trip was visiting the Wall. He also was honored to shake the hands of other World War II veterans from other states who were visiting Washington, D.C., on Honor Flights.
‘The real one’ “I had seen the traveling wall but until you see the real one, you don’t get the true feeling of it,” said Stewart. “There’s a real closure visiting it.” Stewart looked up the names of Gold, Jim Lochard, another Shelby County resident killed in th war, and Terry Bozarth, of Kettering. The trip was extraspecial for Larry Hawkey, of Sidney. He was accompanied by his grandson, Branden Jones, who is a junior at Celina Senior High School. Hawkey is a veteran of the U.S. Marines. “My grandpa has taken my brothers on vacation and it was my turn,” said Jones. “I got to come because my

together and Hall talked about the trip at their 50-year class reunion. Hawkey said he had “mixed feelings” about seeing the Wall. “The feelings I came home to are still the same,” said Hawkey. “When we arrived in California, there were 500 protesters waiting for us. We had to fight our way out of there to get home.” Hawkey said the trip
has helped heal some of his hard feelings. “It’s so hard to describe what it felt like,” said Hawkey. While at the Wall, he looked for all the names of the soldiers killed from Shelby County. The lone World War II veteran on the trip was Don Pulfer, of Anna, a U.S. Navy veteran. “I didn’t want to come before now,” said Pulfer. “My son, Scott, talked me into it along with a few more people” Pulfer was accompanied on the trip by his son. “It was really nice,” said Pulfer. The biggest surprise of the trip for Pulfer was the visit to Arlington National Cemetery. “I didn’t expect it to be that big,” said Pulfer. He also enjoyed visiting the WWII Memorial. “All the people were real nice,” said Pulfer. “I was also surprised at the people who came up to shake our hands. The veterans were welcomed home Sunday afternoon at the Shelby County Fairgrounds by their family and friends.

Leaders urge ‘no’ vote LIMA (AP) — Union leaders at a striking oil refinery in northern Ohio urged members to oppose Husky Energy Inc.’s latest contract proposal in voting Sunday. Some 240 employees at the plant are represented by United Steel Workers Local 624. Workers have been striking since May 25 over safety issues and working conditions. The Lima News reports Husky spokesman Mel Duvall says the current proposal includes substantial pay raises, increases in retirement benefits, and no changes in health care. Union president Mike Edelbrock tells the newspaper the deal would not increase wages above any other American refinery and retirement isn’t enhanced.

Celebrating FALL
Word of the Week Autumn — the season between summer and winter
Newspaper Knowledge Your newspaper will probably publish a summary of the previous week’s weather. What was the average high temperature: the average low temperature? If the temperatures were given in Fahrenheit, convert to Celsius. What was the high Celsius reading: The lowest Celsius reading? What was the precipitation in centimeters?
Leaf Facts • Leaves require sunlight, water, chlorophyll and carbon dioxide to make food for themselves. • As winter approaches, leaves make a coating for themselves which blocks their water source; in the absence of water, the leaves no longer produce chlorophyll (chlorophyll is what makes leaves green). • When the leaves turn colors in the fall, they actually are returning to their normal colors. During the summer months, the chlorophyll present in the leaves causes the leaves to turn green, blocking the leaves' actual colors. • Along with chlorophyll, leaves contain two other chemicals that cause coloring. The first is called xanthophyll, which is yellow in color. The other is carotene, which is orange in color. • Red and purple leaves are actually caused by the presence of sugars from sap that is trapped inside of the leaves. • Once the leaves have turned brown, they are dead and no longer receive any nutrients.
The Bookshelf Why Do Leaves Change Color? author: Betsey Maestro Harvest Moon author: Ralph Fletcher The Autumn Equinox author: Ellen Jackson
Write On! It’s time for our leaves to start changing colors. Take a nice day and go out collecting different colors and styles of leaves. Keep a journal on what you have found, and share it with your class.
NIE Coordinator: Dana Wolfe / Graphic Designer: Scarlett E. Smith
Fall is a beautiful time of year with crisp cool air, colorful leaves and a harvest of plentiful vegetables. But do we know the scientific reasons behind the changing of the seasons? Learn some cool facts about autumn here! A Season of Color The season of autumn can provide us with some very interesting weather and social event facts that they can use for science and social studies reports. There are many different changes that occur in the fall giving us much to learn and write about. Get your research started with these cool facts on fall. The Dates of Autumn There is no fixed time period for the season of Autumn. It can shift from year to year. This is because the earth's orbit is not perfect. Although most people are not aware of it, the first day and last day of autumn generally shift about 24 hours every year. The beginning of Fall generally falls between September 21 and September 23 depending on the year. This day is known as the fall equinox. On this day the amount of sun and the amount of night are equal, which is the same as the Spring equinox. The last day of Autumn falls on December 21 to December 23. Standing an Egg There are only two days of the year when you can stand an egg on end. One of these days falls on the first
day of autumn. To do this you will need an egg. It does not have to be hard-boiled. Place the egg on a hard flat surface on its largest end. Carefully pull your hands away and it should remain upright. This can only be done on the spring and fall equinox. Why Do Leaves Fall Off Leaves are the energy generators for plants. By using sunlight, water and carbon dioxide and chlorophyll they create food for the tree. The trees then pass oxygen into the air. The reason that the leaves change color is due to the shortening of the days. As this occurs the leaves begin to produce less chlorophyl and change color. Many people think that the leaves turn color but this is not true. The leaves are actually the colors we see in the fall. The reason that the
Leaves Word Search
leaves are green is because they are full of chlorophyll. Animals Hibernate Toward the end of the season, depending on where you live, mammals and reptiles will begin to prepare for the winter. Animals such as bears, groundhogs and other small mammals will fatten up for the long winter months. They will select a secluded place where they will be able to stay warm and dry and then sleep through cold months when food is scarce. Many cold-blooded reptiles will perform the same act. Frogs and snake will find a warm comfortable spot and sleep until the spring thaw. Certain birds are also migratory and will begin to move south as the weather cools the water and causes plants that they use as food to die off. As the lakes in the north
freeze Canadian Geese will leave their summer homes in Canada and use one of the many flight ways in the United States to reach warmer climates. It Is Not Fall All Over the World The earth is tilted on its axis and that is what gives us our traditional four seasons. It is because of this tilt that not all area's of the earth experience the autumn in the same months. In Australia, New Zealand and South Africa The months of September, October and November are actually spring. This is because the tilt of the earth causes these regions to actually be closer to the sun. In the Northern Hemisphere the sun's rays are not hitting the planet as direct as they do in the south.

Giant panda cub born at National Zoo dies WASHINGTON (AP) — The giant panda cub born a week ago at the National Zoo in Washington died Sunday morning, saddening zoo officials and visitors who had heralded its unexpected arrival. The 4-ounce cub, about the size of a stick of butter, showed no obvious signs of distress and made its final recorded noise shortly before 9 a.m. Sunday, zoo officials said at a news conference. The cub’s mother, Mei Xiang, then made an unusual honking sound at 9:17 a.m. that her keepers interpreted as a distress call, and she moved away from where she had been nesting with the cub. About an hour later, one keeper distracted her with honey water while another used an instrument similar to a lacrosse stick to pick up the cub. The cub, whose gender could not be determined externally, was not breathing and its heart had stopped. A veterinarian attempted CPR before it was pronounced dead at 10:28 a.m.

ANNIE LEIBOVITZ stands near some of her work before the opening of her exhibition at the Wexner Center for the Arts Friday in Columbus. Leibovitz's exhibition features work from her “Master Set,” an authoritative edition of 156 images.
Leibovitz ‘master set’ on display in Columbus COLUMBUS (AP) — It was a job for Annie Leibovitz to cull the first 40 years of her wideranging life as a photographer down to a core “master set” of museumquality prints. The 63-year-old Leibovitz had so many pivotal moments to draw from: her thousands of
assignments for Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair and Vogue; her enviable access to rock stars, athletes, dancers and politicians; and volumes personal photoof graphs. Leibovitz aimed for 100 prints to have for her three children, but ultimately landed at
156. The full set is displayed for the first time in its entirety at the Wexner Center for the Arts. The show continues through Dec. 30. John Lennon clinging naked to Yoko Ono and the pregnant Demi Moore are there, as well as many less known works.
OSU president spends $7.7M to travel, entertain
2320720
COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State University President E. Gordon Gee has spent $7.7 million on top of his recordsetting compensation to travel, entertain, and maintain his 9,600square-foot mansion, an Ohio newspaper’s investigation has found. The review by The Dayton Daily News detailed spending by the 68-year-old Gee that comes on top of $8.6 in salary and benefits he’s collected since returning to Columbus to lead the university in October 2007. Records obtained by the newspaper through records requests showed Gee travels the globe often on private jets staying in luxury hotels sometimes reached by limousine, dines at country clubs and fancy restaurants, and throws dozens of expensive parties a year for thousands of guests. In a statement, the university said endowments and private donations — not tuition or tax dollars — are used to fund Gee’s travel and use of the residence. He did not grant the newspaper an interview for the story. Spokesman Jim Lynch said since arriving at the university, Gee’s efforts have generated $1.6 billion from
donors. Steps taken by Gee over the past two years have yielded another $1 billion in investments, returns on business deals, and savings, Lynch said. “The University has rigorous standards and processes in planning the president’s budget and reviewing his expenses,” the university statement said. It added, “A significant proportion of President Gee’s time, travel, and use of the University Residence is devoted to resource-generation to support the work of our students and faculty. “ To come up with its expense tally, the Daily News reviewed records documenting Gee’s work day, housing, American Express statements, travel expenses, and discretionary spending reports. The investigation found the university spent more than $895,000 for gatherings at Gee’s mansion in the Columbus suburb of Bexley, the Pizzuti House, between April 2008 and June 2011. University records showed Gee hosted 16,000 guests at 275
events over the last five years, up from 5,757 guests at 138 events hosted by his predecessor Karen Holbrook, the newspaper reported. Gee’s parties are considered an essential part of the president’s outreach to the community and donors. They feature specially designed and printed invitations, shuttle buses and parking valets, musicians and photographers, decorations and fresh flowers. Guests to Gee’s receptions included cyclist Lance Armstrong, actor Sidney Poitier, the president of Bangladesh and CNN correspondents Sanjay Gupta and David Gergen, students, neighbors, journalists and politicians. The review found the university spent more than $64,000 since 2007 branding Gee around his signature bow tie with ties, bow tie cookies and O-H and bow tie pins. Lynch said, “It’s a nice icebreaker. The freshmen show up on campus and President Gee hands them a cookie. They love it. The students love it.”
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign strove to turn the page on a week of public stumbles and Republican handwringing Sunday, promising a redoubled effort in the most competitive states to undercut his opponent’s economic record as voters tune in for the final six weeks of a deadlocked race. President Barack Obama, taking a rare break from the campaigning ahead of an address to world leaders on Tuesday, dispatched top allies to try to keep Romney’s missteps alive in the minds of a dwindling cadre of undecided voters. Both candidates were looking ahead to the pivotal next phase of the campaign, where the three presidential debates — the first on Oct. 3 in Denver — present the greatest opportunities to speak directly to voters or to get tripped up by a gaffe-turnedsound bite with little time to recover before Election Day.
Ohio poll: Obama leads Romney COLUMBUS (AP) — A new Ohio newspaper organization poll shows Barack President Obama with a five-point lead over Republican Mitt Romney in this crucial swing state. The poll out Sunday gives Obama a 51 percent to 46 percent lead. The Dispatch/Ohio Newspaper Organization poll conducted Sept. 13-18 shows Obama with a similar advantage among likely Ohio voters who think the president would do the best job improving the state’s economy. A combined 63 percent of likely voters said they were either better off or about the same as four years ago. Obama’s edge comes as the presidential candidates, their running mates and spouses continue to blanket the battleground state in political appearances. The poll among 861 likely Ohio voters has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
OHIO
COLUMBUS (AP) — Both presidential candidates are headed back to Ohio as the start of early voting nears. Republican Mitt Romney plans a cross-state bus tour Tuesday and Wednesday focused on the “Romney Plan for a Stronger Middle Class.” Running mate Paul Ryan is to kick off the effort Monday, landing in Dayton and traveling to an event in Lima. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama is planning visits to Bowling Green and Kent on Wednesday. He’s highlighting his plan for building the economy “middle-out, not top-down.” The visits come on the heels of a Dispatch/Ohio Newspaper Organization poll out Sunday showing Obama with a 51-46 lead over Romney among likely Ohio voters. Ohio’s early absentee ballots have already been sent to overseas and military voters. Others can begin voting early starting Oct. 2. Rehearsal for those debates consumed the early part of the day for the former Massachusetts governor, who huddled with senior advisers in Los Angeles ahead of an evening campaign stop at a Denver-area high school. Romney has consistently taken time from his campaign schedule in recent weeks to focus on debate preparation — whether studying up on policy issues or roleplaying with Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, who has been tapped to play Obama in Romney’s debate dry runs. While both sides are downplaying expectations, Romney’s campaign sees the debates — the first one in particular — as a huge opportunity to get his campaign and its message back on track after a troublesome week. A secretly recorded video released Monday showed Romney writing
off his prospects for winning over the almost half of Americans who he said pay no taxes, are dependent upon government and see themselves as victims dominated the week. “That certainly was a political analysis at a fundraiser, but it’s not a governing philosophy,” Sen. Kelly Ayotte, RN.H., a prominent Romney supporter, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” ”He absolutely has a vision for 100 percent of America. And that is really different from this president.” But even many conservatives were publicly sweating over the remarks, which seemed to play into Democrats’ caricature of Romney as an out-of-touch plutocrat. Also dogging Romney were reports of internal finger-pointing and questions about his foreign policy judgment.

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Monday, Sept. 24, the 268th day of 2012. There are 98 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 24, 1890, the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Wilford Woodruff, wrote a manifesto renouncing the practice of polygamy, or plural marriage (the manifesto was formally accepted by the Mormon Church the following month). On this date: ■ In 1789, Congress passed a Judiciary Act providing for an Attorney General and a Supreme Court. ■ In 1869, thousands of businessmen were ruined in a Wall Street panic known as “Black Friday” after financiers Jay Gould and James Fisk attempted to corner the gold market. ■ In 1929, Lt. James H. Doolittle guided a Consolidated NY-2 Biplane over Mitchel Field in New York in the first all-instrument flight. ■ In 1934, Babe Ruth made his farewell appearance as a player with the New York Yankees in a game against the Boston Red Sox. (The Sox won, 5-0.) ■ In 1948, Mildred Gillars, accused of being Nazi wartime radio propagandist “Axis Sally,” pleaded not guilty in Washington, D.C. to charges of treason. (Gillars, later convicted, ended up serving 12 years in prison.) ■ In 1955, President Dwight D. Eisenhower suffered a heart attack while on vacation in Denver. ■ In 1957, the Los Angeles-bound Brooklyn Dodgers played their last game at Ebbets Field, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-0. ■ In 1960, the USS Enterprise, the first nuclearpowered aircraft carrier, was launched at Newport News, Va. “The Howdy Doody Show” ended a nearly 13-year run with its final telecast on NBC. ■ In 1963, the U.S. Senate ratified a treaty with Britain and the Soviet Union limiting nuclear testing. ■ In 1976, former hostage Patricia Hearst was sentenced to seven years in prison for her part in a 1974 bank robbery in San Francisco carried out by the Symbionese Liberation Army. (Hearst was released after 22 months after receiving clemency from President Jimmy Carter.)
OUT OF THE BLUE
Rare turtle avoids soup TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A rare sea turtle that a Florida fisherman wanted to cook and eat has been released back into the wild. Officials at The Florida Aquarium say the fisherman snagged the Kemp's ridley sea turtle in May. Instead of releasing it, he put the 15-pound juvenile turtle in a tank in his backyard in Tampa. Aquarium official Susan Coy tells The Tampa Tribune that the fisherman planned to cook and eat the endangered species, but a neighbor reported him to authorities. It’s not unheard of for turtle meat to be used in dishes such as soups. Gary Morse, a spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, says the fisherman told investigators he didn’t know the turtle was endangered. The turtle named “Lucky” was rehabilitated at the aquarium until Wednesday, when it was released.

2012 election challenge: Corral undecided likely voters BY NANCY BENAC Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Loretta Mitchell is 100 percent sure she’s going to vote in the presidential race come November. She doesn’t have a clue who’ll get that vote. That makes her a rare and highly sought after commodity: an undecided likely voter. The challenge for President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney is how to lay claim to this small but mightily important swath of the electorate. These people are truly up for grabs, claim they’re intent on voting and yet aren’t paying that much attention. With six hard-fought weeks left in the campaign, just 7 percent of likely voters have yet to pick a candidate, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll. When combined with those who are leaning toward one candidate or the other but far from firm in their choice, about 17 percent of likely voters are what pollsters consider “persuadable.” That includes 6 percent who give soft
support to Obama and 4 percent for Romney. Mitchell, a 68-year-old independent from the small town of Lebanon, Ind., voted for Obama in 2008 but says both candidates this year strike her as “true politicians, and I’m just really down with Washington and politicians.” Like a lot of undecideds, she isn’t sure what’s going to determine her ballot, and she’s in no rush to decide. The triggers for how and when the undecideds will make up their minds are intensely personal. So the campaigns have to hope to pick them off as they pursue swing groups in the most competitive states — segments of voters such as independents, seniors and white working-class voters. People such as Donna Olson, a 66year-old semi-retired truck driver from Oskaloosa, Iowa, who calls herself a former Democrat. Olson expects to wait until November to make up her mind, just as she did four years ago, when her vote ultimately went to Republican John Mc-
Cain. “I don’t like either one of them,” Olson says of Obama and Romney. She specifically mentions Obama’s support for gay marriage and Romney’s proposed tax breaks for wealthy Americans. So how will she make up her mind? “I’m just trying to watch a little bit of everything,” says Olson. “It probably will come down to November, but I’m open to see what happens between now and then.” At least Olson’s tuned in to the race. One huge hurdle for both sides in the next six weeks will be getting the attention of the undecideds. While 69 percent of likely voters report they’re paying a great deal of attention to the race, the figure drops to 59 percent for persuadable likely voters. Among the larger group of all registered voters, just 31 percent of persuadables show much interest in the campaign. That’s one reason both campaigns are pouring so much money into advertising in the most contested states, and why so many ads focus on the campaign’s central issue, the economy.
Libya cracks down on militias BY OSAMA ALFITORY Associated Press BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) — The Libyan army on Sunday said it raided several militia outposts operating outside government control in the capital, Tripoli, while in the east, the militia suspected in the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate said it had disbanded on orders of the country’s president. President Mohammed elMegaref said late Saturday all of the country’s militias must come under government authority or disband, a move that appeared aimed at harnessing popular anger against the powerful armed groups following the attack that killed the U.S. ambassador. The assault on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, which left Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead, has sparked an angry backlash among many Libyans against the myriad of armed factions that continue to run rampant across the nation nearly a year after the end of the country’s civil war. On Friday, residents of Benghazi — the cradle of the Libyan revolution last year that toppled dictator Moammar Gadhafi — staged a mass demonstration against the militias before storming the compounds of several armed groups in the city in an unprecedented protest to demand the militias dissolve. The government has taken advantage of the popular sentiment to move quickly. In a statement published by the official LANA news agency, the military asked all armed groups using the army’s camps, outposts and barracks in Tripoli, and other cities to hand them over. It warned that it will resort to force if the groups refuse. On Sunday, security forces raided a number of sites in the capital, including a military outpost on the main airport road, which were being used as bases by disparate militias since Gadhafi was driven from the capital around a year ago.

ISRAELI SOLDIERS and relatives react during the funeral of Cpl. Netanel Yahalomi, 20, in the Israeli city of Modiin, early Sunday. Yahalomi was killed Friday in a shootout between Islamic militants and Israeli troops along Israel's southern border with Egypt. The Israeli troops returned fire, killing the militants.
Raids may force change in Israel-Egypt accord BY JOSEF FEDERMAN Associated Press JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli officials said Sunday they would resist any Egyptian attempts to reopen the military arrangements under the countries’ historic peace deal, despite the rapidly deteriorating security situation in Egypt’s Sinai peninsula. But following a series of attacks staged by militants in the Sinai, including a raid that killed an Israeli soldier last week, Israel may have no choice but to allow Egypt to beef up its forces in the largely demilitarized border area. Friday’s shooting is likely to fuel new Egyptian calls to reopen the peace treaty. In recent years, as shadowy militant groups have grown more active in the Sinai, Egyptian security officials have said they need to be allowed more firepower to bring the area under control. Ansar Jerusalem, a group inspired by al-Qaida that is hostile to both Israel and Egypt, claimed responsibility for the latest attack. For now, Israel is standing tough. Israel’s hard-line foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, said Sunday that Israel would not agree to reevaluate the terms of the peace deal.
“There is no chance that Israel will agree to any kind of change,” he told Israel Radio. “The Egyptians shouldn’t try to delude themselves or delude others, and they should not rely on this demand.” Lieberman said troop strength was not the issue and suggested the Egyptian military was just not prepared to tackle the challenge. “The problem in Sinai is not the size of the forces, it is their readiness to fight, to put pressure and to carry out the job as is needed,” he said. The 1979 peace accord, the first between Israel and an Arab country, has been a foundation for regional stability for three decades. For Egypt, it brought the return of the Sinai, captured by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war, and access to American aid and weapons. For Israel, it allowed the military to divert precious resources to volatile fronts with Lebanon, Syria and the Palestinians. This arrangement, however, has been jolted by the growing unrest in the Sinai since an uprising toppled longtime Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak last year. Friday’s attack was the third deadly border raid since Mubarak’s ouster.
Jon Cryer, ‘Modern Family’ win Emmys BY LYNN ELBER Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — What is “Two and a Half Men” with Jon Cryer and without Charlie Sheen? Really good was the Emmy Awards verdict Sunday as Cryer claimed the best comedy actor trophy. “Don’t panic, people. Something has clearly gone terribly wrong. I’m stunned,” said Cryer, who on the red carpet before the show has expressed confidence he wouldn’t win. Among others, he beat out two-time winner Jim Parsons of “The Big Bang Theory.”
Ashton Kutcher, who joined the show after Sheen was fired, wasn’t nominated. Julia Louis-Dreyfus was honored as best actress in comedy for “Veep.” On the drama side, Aaron Paul won best supporting drama actor for “Breaking Bad” and “Homeland” won the best writing award. Maggie Smith of “Downton Abbey” won for best supporting actress in a drama series. “Thank you Hollywood for allowing me to be part of your group,” said Paul, noting he’d moved from Idaho to pursue his dreams.
“Modern Family” made it look easy as the comedy’s Eric Stonestreet and Julie Bowen claimed supporting actor awards, although there was at least a minor backlash online as some questioned whether the show had a deserving season. Stonestreet was funny and touching as he accepted for his role as half of a devoted gay couple. “I wouldn’t be standing here without Jesse Tyler Ferguson, there is no Cam without Mitch,” he said, saluting his co-star. “We get the awesome opportunity to play these
two characters on TV and show America and the world what a loving couple we can be just like everybody else.” Then he turned saucy: “I never knew I’d be on TV as a gay man, but I love the pictures of hairy chests you guys are sending me, it’s really amazing. Thank you for those.” Among reality competitors, “The Amazing Race” was honored as best reality series, ninth time in 10 nominations for the award. Tom Bergeron of “Dancing With the Stars” won as best host of a reality series.

Dear Heloise: I read your reply to a question regarding the shelf life of olives. We use olives a lot and keep them in their original brine in the refrigerator. The past few months, when we’ve opened a jar that some olives have been used out of, there has been mold on the top, they’ve tasted funny, and we’ve ended up throwing them out. What do you suggest?

TINA: I have the opto travel portunity throughout the United States and Canada, speaking to large groups of teens, and I’m pleased with what I see. Yes, some teens are having difficulty living harmoniously in our society, but these teens are in the minority. A survey reported in Psychology Today found that nearly three-quarters of the teens were generally happy, well adjusted and cared about others. They also had good feelings about their families. It’s unfortunate that the teens who do “wrong” create newspaper stories, while those who do “right” seldom see their names in print!

Kiwanians welcome Honda official as speaker John Spoltman, plant manager of the Honda Engine Plant in Anna, addressed the members of the Kiwanis Club of Sidney recently. He reported that production started in Anna in July 1985. The original plant size was around 400,000 square feet. The current size of operations is now 1.8 million square feet with a capital investment of $1.7 billion. About 3,000 associates are employed at the Anna location. Annual production capacity is 1.2 million V-6 and four-cylinder engines for various Accord, Civic and Acura models. Driveshafts, crankshafts, brake components, camshafts and cylinder sleeves, in addition to the engines, are also produced in Anna. Operations include cold forging, heat treating, machining, ferrous
and aluminum casting, assembly and testing and quality assurance. Honda has started production of its new Earth Dreams engine and continuously variable transmissions (CVT) for the 9th generation Accord. A new assembly line was created for the CVT which resulted in more than 100 new jobs. President Heather Pollard called the meeting to order and thanked everyone who helped with the Kiwanis float at the recent Applefest parade. The invocation was given by DiAnne Kara and the group was lead in song by Ralph Bornhorst, accompanied by Karas on the piano. Bornhorst led the Fun & Games activities which included various trivia questions about U.S. President’s wives. It was reported that
the annual Labor Day barbecue was a success. Members were urged to turn in any outstanding money so the books can be closed. The weekly auction to benefit the Eliminate Project resulted in bids of around $20. The club recently donated $350 to support the Vets to Washington Project which will pay for one veteran to visit Washington, D.C. The club distributed one crib for its Cribs for Kids project to benefit those in need. Installation of officers will be held Sept. 26. Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time. The Sidney Kiwanis meets at noon every Wednesday at the Sidney Moose Lodge. This club is always looking for
new members who want to serve their community. For information, call 710-4944 or visit www.shelbysites.com/pa ges/kiwanis.asp.

tion due to hail, foliar disease, injury, etc., would be prime candidates for early harvest. (In this area of the world, that includes almost all of them, right?! Yes, corn harvest has already begun in some parts of this area.) “Safety” is one of those issues that should be in the forefront of our thoughts at all times. Working in agriculture is different than working in other businesses in that all ages are involved. We need to take precautions to protect ourselves and those we love. Farmers work in one of the most hazardous industries in the United States. Keeping everyone safe and healthy is a family affair.
Managing safety From a safety standpoint, managing safety and health risks in an agricultural operation can be similar to that in other businesses. Families can work together to protect against hazards by following recommended best management practices. When they do this, they are also making a commitment to remain a sustainable business. Everyday routines for farm families to follow are 1) having rules in place for everyone to observe; 2) having a keen eye to scout out possible hazardous conditions and correcting them; 3) having respect for the dangers that exist; and 4) not taking matters of personal safety and protection lightly. Have a safe harvest! The writer is the Shelby County agricultural agent for The Ohio State University Extension.

Producers are advised that any grain stored on the farm from previous years, and “commingled” or stored together with current year production or other producers, should be measured by FSA. All prior year grain is ineligible for either, the price support loan program or possible loan deficiency payment (LDP). FSA offers measurement services for a nominal fee to requesting producers. An initial fee of $30, plus $16 for the first hour on the farm. Each additional one-half hour will be assessed at $8. Contact the county office to schedule a measurement service in sufficient time to allow timely completion by field reporters. The Shelby County staff and committee would like to thank Roger L. Lentz for his 30-plus years of service to the agency. Our last “quote of the day” to you Roger: Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behaviors. Keep your behaviors positive because your behaviors become your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny. — Gandhi The writer is acting county executive director of the FSA.
Good soil is the foundation of a healthy lawn. To grow well, your lawn needs soil with good texture, some key nutrients, and the right pH, or acidity/alkalinity balance. Start by checking the texture of your soil to see whether it’s heavy with clay, light and sandy, or somewhere in between. Lawns grow best in soil with intermediate or loamy soils that have a mix of clay, silt, and sand. It’s important not to over-fertilize — you could do more harm to your lawn than good — and it’s best to use a slowrelease fertilizer that feeds the lawn slowly. It’s also important to check the soil’s pH. Grass is best able to absorb nutrients in a lightly acidic soil, with a pH of 6.5 to 7.0.
Grass types Why struggle to grow grass that’s susceptible to fungal disease if you live in a humid climate? Or a water-loving species if you live in an area with water shortages? Grass that is well-adopted to your area will grow better and resist local pests and diseases better. There are also grass types that grow best either in shady areas or sunny areas. Check with the Shelby County Extension agent or a local garden shop for the best grass for your needs. Mowing high — that is, keeping your lawn a bit long — will produce stronger, healthier grass with fewer pest problems. A lawn’s ideal length will vary with the types of grass, but many turf grass species are healthiest when kept between 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 inches. The rule of thumb is to mow often enough that you never cut more than one-third of the height of the grass blades. Watering properly will help your lawn grow deep roots that make it stronger and less vulnerable to drought. Most lawns are watered too often but with too little water. It’s best to water only when the lawn really
needs it, and then to water slowly and deeply. Try to water your lawn in a way that imitates a slow, soaking rain, by using trickle irrigation, soaker hoses, or other water-conserving methods. It’s also best to water in the early morning, especially during hot summer months, to reduce evaporation. Apply about an inch of water-enough that it soaks 6-8 inches into the soil. Then let the lawn dry out thoroughly before watering it again. Place a rain gauge in the watering area to measure the amount of water the lawn is receiving when using sprinklers. All grass forms a layer of dead plant material, known as thatch, between the grass blades and the soil. When thatch gets too thick — deeper than one-half inch — it prevents water and nutrients from penetrating to the soil and grass roots. Some grasses tend to form a thick layer of thatch. Overuse of fertilizer can also create a heavy layer of thatch.
Reduce thatch You can reduce thatch by raking the lawn or using a machine that slices through the thatch layer to break it up. Sprinkling a thin layer of topsoil or compost over the lawn will also help. Setting realistic goals will allow you to conduct an environmentally sensible lawn care program. It’s probably not necessary to aim for puttinggreen perfection. Also realize that grass just can’t grow well in certain spots. Why fight a losing battle with your lawn, when you have other options? At the base of a tree, for example, you might have better luck with wood chips or shadeloving ornamental plants like ivy, periwinkle or pachysandra. If your lawn area is very dry, consider converting some of your lawn to dry-garden landscaping or an area of the lawn remains wet for long periods consider a rain garden. It could save time, money, and water resources.

U.S. senators’ bill would help protect Ohio historic village ZOAR (AP) — An Ohio village threatened by an aging levee would receive protection for its historic structures under a bill recently introduced in Congress by Ohio’s two U.S. senators. The bill requires the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to preserve the
historic integrity of the eastern Ohio village of Zoar in any study or construction activities related to the village’s levee. The village founded in 1817 by religious separatists is on the National Register of Historic Places. The corps administers the deteriorating
75-year-old levee and is working on a study to determine a solution to the levee problems. One of many alternatives under consideration is removing the levee entirely.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, Sept. 25, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good day to schmooze with others and focus on friends, groups and organizations. All gatherings will have a few surprises for you plus you might meet someone rather unusual. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Certain aspects of your personal life will be public today, especially in the eyes of bosses, parents and VIPs. This includes the police. (Just be aware of this if you want to do some damage control.) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Take a break from your daily routine and do something different today. Travel if you can. Go someplace you’ve never been before. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Make friends with your bank account, because a few surprises could be in store for you related to debt, bills, insurance matters, inheritances and shared property. A female friend might help you today. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Today the Moon is directly opposite your sign, which means you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. This simply requires patience, tolerance and cooperation. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Make an effort to get better organized today, because this will really please you. Similarly, you might come up with some ideas about how to improve your health. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a playful, prankish day! Spontaneous decisions and impulsive choices will bring you interesting experiences. However, it is a mildly accident-prone day for your kids. Be alert. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Discussions with a female relative or your mother could be significant today. Your focus is definitely on home and private matters. (Minor breakages could occur.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a mildly accident-prone day; nevertheless, it’s a fun, upbeat day as well! Just don’t let distractions cause you a problem. (Ouch.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Keep an eye on your cash flow today, because you might find money or you might lose money. Similarly, guard your possessions against loss or theft. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Today the Moon is in your sign, giving you lots of energy and a bit of extra good luck. However, you might feel a bit more emotional than usual. (No biggie.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Secrets might come out today. You could discover them or you, yourself, might reveal them! (An interesting day.) YOU BORN TODAY It’s important for you to have goals, because you are hardworking and dedicated to whatever you embrace. You’re a perfectionist who does something again and again until you get it right, which means you have high standards for yourself and others. You are comfortable with your public image, but you are private about your personal life. In the year ahead, an important choice will arise. Choose wisely. Birthdate of: Will Smith, actor; Ian Tyson, singer/songwriter; Catherine Zeta-Jones, actress. (c) 2012 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

An exciting new discovery is that probiotics might reduce artery hardening — arteriosclerosis, the underlying problem for most heart attacks and many strokes. The reputed effect comes from the body’s decreased production of a substance called TMAO (trimethylamine N-oxide). If this theory proves to be true, it will be a major breakthrough in curing some major diseases. Taking probiotics while taking antibiotics has been proposed by some as a preventive step for protection against C. difficile infection. It’s not standard practice. You don’t need to take probiotics on a regular basis.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Does anyone make a home cholesterol device that gives you a reading of your cholesterol? If so, where do I get one? Should diabetics wear socks? What material should they be? Are there any foods, vitamins or supplements that lower blood sugar and cholesterol at the same time? — J. ANSWER: I don’t know of any device that provides home testing of cholesterol. Diabetics have to be careful about feet infections. They don’t have to wear socks. It they prefer to wear them, the common sock materials are up to them to choose. And finally I don’t know of any food, vitamin or supplement that lowers both cholesterol and blood sugar simultaneously. You pitched me three curveballs, and I struck out.

My husband of 25 years is an alcoholic and abusive. I have two teenage children at home. I’m in bad health and haven’t worked in decades. I’m trapped. I have the typical arguments with my daughter. My son is a gem who stays home because he doesn’t want to leave us with his father. It’s a sad situation. While catching up on
reading Dear Abby tonight, I saw a number for an abuse hotline where they will help me with a plan to leave. I have no money, no chance of getting a job. But that number gave me a glimmer of hope. It seems too good to be true, but I’ll make that call. Thank you, Abby. — BEATEN DOWN IN TEXAS DEAR BEATEN DOWN: I’m glad you are making that call to the National Domestic Violence Hotline.

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.

Jackets blast Bison 49-14 Trailed 14-3 at the half In a game that was truly a tale of two halves, Sidney dominated Belmont in the second half to win 49-14 and improve to 3-2 on the season. After a lackluster first half that saw many opportunities pass the Jackets by, Sidney trailed 14-3. But the Jackets came out with a new-found energy and outscored Belmont 46-0 in the second half. The only time the ball crossed into Sidney territory the entire second half, was when Andre Spillers teed the ball up for kickoffs. “It would have been easy to yell, lose our cool, and panic at halftime,” said head coach Adam Doenges. “But we just told the kids that what we were doing would work. We just needed to finish off plays. We did a much better job of that in the third quarter.” After Sidney turned the ball over on downs early in the first quarter, Jalyn Simmons ran it in from 16 yards out to give Belmont a 6-0 lead. The Jackets appeared to be driving to answer the Belmont score, when a fumble was recovered by the Bison deep in their own territory. The teams would exchange possessions the rest of the first quarter, but early in the second quarter, Belmont struck again. Edward Taylor got around the edge of the Sidney defense and scampered 61 yards for a touchdown. The two point

Late in the half, Sidney finally got on the scoreboard. Taylor Shepherd had his first of two blocked punts to set the Jackets up at Belmont’s 19yard line. Sidney would stall on the four, and Spillers came in to nail a 21-yard field goal to make the score 14-3. The teams would go into halftime, and seemingly two different teams would emerge from the locker rooms 20 minutes later. On the initial possession of the second half, Sidney used tackles for losses by Noah
Straman, Conner Bodenmiller, Zach Scott, and Darius Southern to put Belmont in a fourth down and 32. Shepherd then struck again with another blocked punt. This time it was recovered by Darius Southern for a Sidney touchdown to make the score 14-9. “That was something that we really wanted to take advantage of,” said Doenges of the punt blocks. “We saw that we could have an advantage on special teams against them, so we put in a few things on the punt block and kickoff teams, and they worked out well for us.”
The next possession for Belmont was actually worse than the first. They found themselves this time in a fourth-and-35. As a result, the Jackets would start from the Bison 29. The ensuing drive would stop at the 18, but Spillers came on to make another field goal – this time from 35 yards to make the score 14-12. On the following possession, after two tackles-for-loss by Bodenmiller, Southern struck again. This time it was a fumble recovery to set up Sidney on Belmont’s 24. See JACKETS/Page 19
Bengals hang on for win LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — On the first play of the game, quarterback Andy Dalton lined up wide right, rookie receiver Mohamed Sanu took the shotgun snap, and A.J. Green darted downfield to haul in a 73-yard touchdown pass. The Washington Redskins fans came to see some razzledazzle in Robert Griffin III’s home debut. They saw Dalton and the Cincinnati Bengals do it better. Sanu-to-Green was just the opening statement in a game full of innovative plays, fancy moves and mood swings. The Bengals produced three firsthalf touchdowns on plays that snapped the ball to three different players, blew a 17-point lead, rallied in the fourth quarter and survived a bizarre final sequence Sunday in a 3831 win over the Redskins. “The creativity that we’ve got here, talent that we have at wide (receiver), the running backs, the different things that we’re doing, it’s big,” Dalton said. “You try to find a way to get an advantage in the game, and we found a couple today.” The Bengals (2-1) have made their reputation on defense, but now their offense looks in step with the evolving score-a-whole-lot-every-week NFL. Cincinnati’s offense has put up 30-plus points in backto-back weeks for the first time since November 2006. “We’re making plays,” Green said, “all over the field.” No doubt about that. They ran several end-arounds, used a no-huddle package that befuddled the Redskins, let BenJarvus Green-Ellis take a direct snap on a 1-yard touchdown run and had touchdown completions of 48, 59 and 73 yards. Dalton completed 19 of 27 passes for 328 yards and three touchdowns. Green caught nine passes for a career-high 183 yards and a score.

OHIO STATE’S Christian Bryan stiff-arms Alabama-Birmingham’s Vashon Landers Saturday at Ohio Stadium. The Bucks
struggled, but won 29-15 to go to 4-0 on the year heading into Big Ten play.
Bucks struggle, but go to 4-0 BY JIM NAVEAU Civitas Media COLUMBUS – A tell-tale sign that no one, absolutely no one, expected Ohio State’s 2915 football win over AlabamaBirmingham on Saturday to be as close as it was could be found about 20 yards beyond the north end zone in Ohio Stadium. Usually, the visiting team’s fans can be measured in the thousands at an OSU game. But only a group of maybe a hundred UAB fans, huddled in a corner of the lower deck of the stadium, made the trip from Alabama. There were not a lot of believers in UAB. But there were many doubters of No. 16 Ohio State (4-0) after it struggled to put away the winless Blazers. Fans expected to see the Buckeyes quickly dismiss what was supposed to be a
non-descript opponent. UAB came into the game ranked last nationally in scoring defense. Las Vegas had OSU as a five touchdown favorite. Former Ohio State players were on the radio on their pre-game shows talking about how some freshmen might get to play almost half of the game after the starters took care of business early. None of that was looking very good when UAB jumped out to a 9-0 lead in the first five minutes of the second half after scoring on a blocked punt. All of that excessive exuberance was long gone when the Blazers had a first down at Ohio State’s 19-yardline, just one big play from taking the lead in the first minute of the fourth quarter. But in the end, Ohio State got the result that was expected. It just didn’t do it nearly as impressively as any-
one expected, including coach Urban Meyer. “I think we seem like a very passive team,” he said. “They didn’t score a touchdown on our defense but we gave up a lot of yardage. On offense, our explosiveness was obviously non-existent for much of the game. “The fact is we’re a bend but don’t break defense, which is painful to watch. We’re not a very good offense right now. We have to get a lot better and fast,” he said, looking ahead to OSU’s Big Ten opener at Michigan State this Saturday. UAB’s Calvin Jones blocked Ben Buchanan’s punt on Ohio State’s first possession and Nick Adams picked it up and went 20 yards for a touchdown to put the Blazers up 6-0 early. A 47-yard field goal by Ty Long, the first of three in the game for him, made it 9-0 with 10:27 left in the first
half. Ohio State responded with back-to-back 75-yard scoring drives. The first ended with Rod Smith scoring on a 1-yard run and the other was finished off by a 12-yard run by quarterback Braxton Miller that gave Ohio State a 14-12 lead. A UAB fumble set up Ohio State for a third score in the second quarter, this one on a 2-yard run by Zach Boren that put the Buckeyes in front 2112 at halftime. It wasn’t until Miller scored on a 1-yard run with five minutes to play, then ran for a two-point conversion that Ohio State was able to put Alabama-Birmingham away for good, though. “We won but we still need to get better,” said running back Jordan Hall, who gained 105 yards on 17 carries. “We have to fix the things that need fixed and get better.”
When C.J. Spiller got hurt, the Buffalo Bills lost the NFL’s leading rusher, most of their momentum and another major offensive threat. Ryan Fitzpatrick wouldn’t let them lose the game. Fitzpatrick threw three touchdown passes and the better-than-advertised Bills overcame the loss of Spiller to a shoulder injury and beat the Cleveland Browns 24-14 on Sunday to snap an eight-game road losing streak. Fitzpatrick, doing just enough to keep Buffalo’s offense moving, finished 22 of 35 for 208 yards as the Bills (2-1) turned to their passing game after Spiller, who has been filling in for Fred Jackson, went down in the first quarter with an injury that will likely sideline him a few weeks. Before he went out, Spiller, who came in leading the league with 292 rushing yards, scored on a 32-yard screen pass from Fitzpatrick, who also threw a 9-yard TD to T.J. Graham in the first quarter and hooked up with Stevie Johnson from 9 in the fourth to close the scoring. Bills coach Chan Gailey does not expect Spiller to be back for next week's home game against New England — and possibly longer. For the Browns (0-3), the losing continues. Cleveland has lost nine straight dating to last season, and one of the league's youngest teams was not able to build off a solid performance last week in Cincinnati. “We just didn’t get it done,” said coach Pat Shurmur, who dropped to 4-15 in two seasons. “There are no magical answers. We just didn’t get it done.”

FORT LORAMIE’S Logan McGee tries to turn the corner on Waynesfield’s Lee Turner at Fort Loramie Friday night.
Waynesfield snaps Loramie win streak FORT LORAMIE — Fort Loramie saw its winning three-game streak snapped and its Northwest Central Conference mark leveled at 1-1 after Waynesfield held on for a 28-20 victory over the Redskins in high school football Friday night. The two teams sat out a rain delay and the game was completed at about 11:15. The first half ended 14-14, but the Redskins turned the ball over four times in the second half, and the first two were turned into scores. Loramie fumbled it away on its first possession of the third quarter and Waynesfield turned it into a touchown. Then on the ensuing kickoff, the Tigers squibbed it down the field and the Redskins failed to cover it, Waynesfield taking over at the Loramie 25. Again they scored to make it 28-14. Loramie appeared to seize the momentum when it blocked a punt and Garrett Eilerman returned it for a touchdown on the final play of the fourth quarter. But Waynesfield put together a clock-eating drive to start the final period. Even though the Tigers didn’t score, they drove 75 yards and took 9:30 off the clock. When the Redskins got the ball back, there was just 2:30 remaining and they had 93 yards to navigate. “They executed their game plan, which was to run the clock,” said Loramie coach Matt Burgbacher. “They ran 73 offensive plays to 33 for us.” Fort Loramie is now 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the NWCC and is back in
league action Friday at Fairbanks. Scoring for the Redskins were Craig Fullenkamp, Eilerman and Troy Benanzer, with Tristan Stripling adding two PAT kicks. Delaunte Thornton carried the ball 10 times for 104 yards for the Redskins, bringing his season total to 688 yards rushing. Waynesfield’s Gabe Hennon carried 40 times for 157 yards. “We averaged eight yards per play to their five, but they ran 40 more plays than we did,” Burgbacher said.
Cavs roll 45-0 Lehman notched its second win of the season, beating Riverside 45-0 Saturday afternoon at Lehman. The two teams got a quarter in Friday night before storms hit, and the game was postponed to Saturday morning with the score standing 19-0. Andrew Gilardi scored on a 2-yard run to open the scoring Friday, and Andrew Adams scored twice, on an 11yard pass from Nick Rourke and a 1-yard run to make it 19-0. Then when the game resumed again on Saturday, Adam scored again from a yard out to make it 26-0. Sophomore Alex Cavinder got into the scoring with a 10-yard run, then freshman quarterback Stephen Monnin tossed a 16-yard scoring strike to sophomore Mitch Slater. The final score of the game came on an 8-yard run by another freshman, Colin Hughes. The Cavaliers are now 1-1 in the Northwest Central Conference
and 2-3 overall heading into action Friday night at Waynesfield, which beat Fort Loramie Friday night. Riverside drops to 0-4 on the year and hosts Ridgemont Friday.
Minster loses second straight MINSTER — Minster dropped its second straight, losing 34-6 to Coldwater in Midwest Athletic Conference football action Saturday. The game was postponed Friday night after just one play because of the weather. Coldwater scored on a 1-yard run by Austin Bruns with 7:48 left in the opening quarter, then Josh Huber picked up a fumble and returned it 85 yards to make it 14-0 with 3:30 left in the first quarter. Coldwater would then add one score in each of the next three periods to run its record to 5-0 and leave the Wildcats at 3-2 heading to Anna Friday. Coldwater finished with 479 total yards, including 289 yards rushing. Minster had 288 yards total, but just 93 on the ground. Minster quarterback Adam Niemeyer was 18for-31 for 195 yards, eight of the passes going to Devon Poeppelman for 100 yards.

Lady Cavs keep Minster, Versailles win golf titles record perfect PLEASANT HILL — Lehman had to overcome 11 offsides calls, but the Lady Cavs did it with a goal past the midway pint of the second half to edge Newton 2-1 in high school girls soccer action here Saturday. The Lady Cavs remained perfect on the year with the win. They take an 8-0 record into their toughest week of the season, Tuesday against Miami East and Saturday against Troy Christian. :Those are two of the best teams in the area,” said Lehman coach Tony Schroeder. “What happens this week will determine the first, second and third seeds for the sectional, among those two teams and us. If we win both, we’ll be topseeded.” Lehman scored just one-and-a-half minutes into the game when Marla Schroeder sent a pass to Sarah Titterington, who found the bottom left corner of the goal on the ground for a 1-0 lead. Newton came back to tie the game with 19 minutes left in the first half when Katie Houk crossed the ball to Jenny Beacom, and she finished to make it 1-1. That’s how it stayed until 14 minutes remaining in the game, when Titterington crossed the ball to Sara Fuller, and she put it in the right side of the goal for the lead. “We outshot them 276, but it was their aggressiveness that kept the game close,” said
RUSSIA Alisha Monnin had 18 digs and Allison Jutte 11 to to with three aces. Regan Hahn dished out 26 assists. Against Botkins, McGowan had 10 kills, Hahn 14 assists and Monnin 13 digs and three aces. Against Russia, McGowan had eight kills and Monnin 16 digs. Hahn finished with 14 assists. Botkins won two out of three, losing to Minster but defeating Covington 27-25, 25-18, and Lincolnview 25-23, 2519. On the day, Logan Pitts had 21 kills and 50 digs, Denise Schwartz 11 kills and 18 digs, Rachelle Maurer 14 kills and 27 digs, Jocelyn Counts and Jill Schneider 23 assists each, and Jess Dietz 10 kills. Lehman finished third in the Piqua Invitational Saturday. The Lady Cavaliers, again playing without middle Ellie Waldsmith (concussion), had an up-
Schroeder of Newton. “Eleven offsides called and that’s really unusual, but they were running an offsides trap and we weren’t prepared for it. That’s 11 good scoring opportunities.”
Anna wins 6-0 Anna upped its record to 5-2-3 on the season with a 6-0 shutout of Lincolnview in girls soccer Saturday. The Lady Rockets for two goals from Erica Huber, and one each from Sara Kettler, Kayla Cayla Blankenship, Bensman and Alexis Phillips. Huber also had two assists, Blankenship two, and Bensman one. Anna goalie Kristen Grimes had two saves. Anna outshot the Lady Lancers 53-5. “We changed up our formation and it seemed to give us a little more scoring opportunities,” said Anna head coach Jim Hague. “We played very well today. A lot of players contributed to the win.” Anna is at FranklinMonroe on Tuesday in its next action.
Botkins ties 0-0 Botkins had a 17-1 advantage in shots, but couldn’t find the back of the net and had to settled for a 0-0 tie with Coldwater Saturday in girls soccer. The Lady Trojans got one save from goalie Kierstyn Rogers. Coldwaer goalie Jenna Black finished with 14 saves. Botkins will host VanWert on Monday.
From Page 18 and-down day. Lehman handled Bellefontaine 25-17, 2517; lost to Coldwater 2519, 25-15; and finished with a 25-9, 25-16 win over Miamisburg. “We just didn’t pass the ball well at all against Coldwater,” Lehman coach Greg Snipes said. “Coldwater played a great match and when we don’t pass the ball well, we struggle. We came back and played much better against Miamisburg.” In the opening match with the Chieftans, Andrea Thobe had eight kills and Ellie Cain had six kills and 10 assists. Against Coldwater, Olivia Slagle had six kills and two blocks; while Paulus had nine digs. Thobe had seven kills. Against the Vikings, Slagle led the hitters with nine kills while Thobe had seven kills and nine assists. Cain had five kills and dished out 14 assists.
Minster took top spot in the Midwest Athletic Conference Boys Golf Tournament Saturday, finishing with a 323 to win by seven strokes over runner-up Versailles.

Sidney would turn the ball over on downs on the Bison one, but that would start an amazing scoring barrage, as the Jackets would score 16 points in the next 1:09. Southern recorded a safety to even the score at 14. Then Sidney went 29 yards in three plays to go ahead 21-14. The drive was capitalized by a 14-yard touchdown strike from Jordan Fox to Kaleb Martin. The ensuing kickoff was an onside kick by Spillers that was recovered at the Belmont 25.

Lehman scored first at the 3:45 mark of the first half when Louis Gaier lofted a loose ball over the defenders and into the net. It would be 1-0 at the half. Three minutes into the second half, however,
Newton’s Mitch Hussong got loose down the left sideline and sent a cross to Daniel Vance, who headed it past the Lehman goalie to tie the score. “It was a tough game,” said Lehman coach Tom
Thornton. “The weather conditions were tough. The wind was gusting and if you didn’t keep the ball on the ground, it would come right back at you. Our midfield played a great game and out passing is improving.”
