Working-class voters Ohio residents reveal what they want on Nov. 6

BY JESSE WASHINGTON The Associated Press BRIDGEPORT (AP) — To look at Ohio is to glimpse America in a nutshell — a state full of places where laborers, truck drivers, cooks, store clerks and business owners form the backbone of small-town life. Places where the deli cashes checks, cars and trucks are “vehicles” and the NFL takes a back seat to high-school football.

It also is a place where presidents are made. No candidate has won without Ohio’s 18 electoral votes since John F. Kennedy in 1960. Barack Obama won here in 2008 by about 260,000 votes, 52 percent to 47 percent.

That’s why Ohio’s white, workingclass voters have taken center stage in the election, with Obama and Mitt Romney crisscrossing the state this week as they enter the campaign’s homestretch.

These voters may well decide who

ANNA —A Shelby County man is in custody after he alkidlegedly napped his father and was found with a “hit list” and weapons in his home.

N o l a n S c h m i d t , 30,13422 Fort LoramieSchmidt Swanders Road, was arrested at 7 a.m.

Thursday and charged with kidnapping, a first degree felony. According to Sheriff John Lenhart, the Shelby County Sheriff ’s Office dispatch center received a call from 504 Apple Ave. in Anna regarding a man who was trying to evict his father from his home.

According to Lenhart, Nolan had locked his father, Max Schmidt, in the basement of his home and had allegedly parked a truck against the outside door of the basement in an attempt to prevent his father from escaping from the basement. However, the elder Schmidt was able to escape and called authorities.

Deputies then responded to the address on Fort Loramie-

The first week of the 2012 Shelby County United Way campaign is over. Campaign members are looking forward for sprouting to begin.

The campaign’s theme is Sowing Seeds for Our Future.

Preparation by the committee will help create a successful harvest.

At the Shelby County United Way office, members have finished the prep work and look forward of the sprouting to begin. The campaign packets are either in the hands of the volunteers or have been delivered to

their accounts.

With a campaign goal of $1,325,000, the campaign stands at $123,990 after the first week. That amount represents 9.4 percent of the goal.

After one week last year, the campaign stood at 7.2 percent of goal. The leading division this week is the Not-for-Profit sector led by David McKay. His group stands at 81 percent of goal.

Each week as the campaign continues, the county will see a new graphic depicting seeds growing into full-grown plants.

Swanders Road, in an attempt to make contact with Nolan.

As deputies were approaching the residence, they saw Nolan inside the residence loading a shotgun and he then turned off the inside lights.

According to Lenhart, as the scene was being secured, Nolan walked out of the residence and was seen walking along the side of the residence in the dark. He was observed with what was described as a dark object in his hands and deputies were unable to determine if Nolan had a gun or another object.

The deputies then reportedly took precautions for their own safety. Nolan was ordered to drop the object and complied with the orders of the deputies. He was taken into custody without incident.

Sheriff ’s Office officials did not elaborate on the object Nolan was carrying in his hands.

During the investigation, deputies found a loaded shotgun in Nolan’s bedroom along with a .44 calibur revolver.

Nolan also had what was described as a “hit list.” No details on the names of those on the hit list were released. He See CHARGES/Page 5A

Obama to return to Ohio COLUMBUS (AP) — President Barack Obama will return to Ohio next week in the aftermath of the first presidential debate with Republican Mitt Romney.

The Obama campaign said Thursday the president will stay in Colorado for a campaign event the day after the Oct. 3 evening debate at the University of Denver, then leave one battleground state for another.

Obama will have an

stop, has some choice words for both candidates. When you make $20,000 a year, she says, every day is a struggle.

“It’s hard to make enough to buy gas to drive to work, let alone pay bills,” she says, pulling on a generic menthol cigarette. “A gallon of milk is $4.29. That’s ridiculous.

I never thought I’d see the day when eggs are $2 a dozen.”

Like many others interviewed, Brown says the economy would be much better if Obama had used stimulus funds to give large checks — five, six or even seven figures — to individual working Americans.

The math doesn’t come close to adding up, but this frequent flight of fancy shows how wrong it feels to many of these voters when bailed-out banks pay huge bonuses, or first lady Michelle Obama goes on an expensive trip, or Romney parks some of his millions offshore.

“I’m a white guy with a job. I won’t get no help,” says Tony Gern, a truck driver from Coshocton.

His girlfriend works two jobs, but they are still barely scraping by. Gern came up short one recent month and tried to get some government assistance but was turned down. “A guy that has no job, 10 kids, he can go to the welfare office and they hand him a check,” he says.

Gern says he will watch the debates before deciding how to vote.

Right now, he sees Obama as more of a regular guy than Romney.

“If I was digging a ditch, Obama would come down and get a little dirty. He’d probably do it with me,” Gern says.

“Romney, he wouldn’t do it. He’s never done that kind of work. He’s never had his hands dirty.”

But Romney’s business career is a plus for Russell Banfield and his wife, Betty. The retired couple — he was a coal miner; she was a secretary — are classic Ohio independents who voted for Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama.

Now, they are disappointed by the president’s decisions on the deficit and the stimulus.

“If I have a problem here on my property, will the USA bail us out?”

Russell Banfield says, standing outside his onestory house in Belmont, population 453. “We’re on a limited income. We have to make do. Why doesn’t Congress? Why doesn’t the president?”

“Romney is rich, he made money, he worked, he earned it,” Banfield says. “He had a brain to know how to do it, so he has a brain to know what to do now.”

hand. They talk of getting rid of everyone in Washington and starting fresh.

Generations of sweaty work and union membership make many deeply skeptical of a Republican multimillionaire CEO like Romney, and polls show he trails among white working-class Ohioans. But there also is widespread frustration with the Democratic president and pessimism about the future.

“If the election was right now, I’d choose ‘none of the above,’” says coal miner J.R. Cross, leaving a payday loan store in Bridgeport with money for his oldest son’s college bill.

He voted for Obama in 2008 but thinks the president helped Wall Street and the auto industry instead of the working class.

He thinks Romney favors the rich and that he bankrupted companies to make investors a profit. His vote will be a last-minute decision — and he doubts it will make a difference.

“Whoever gets elected, we’re screwed,” Cross says.

Nationally, Romney holds a strong edge among white voters with jobs and no college degree: Sixty-three percent favored Romney, compared with 28 percent for Obama, according to an Associated Press/GfK poll conducted Sept 1317.

But the president does much better in unionheavy Ohio, where Obama’s auto bailout has helped keep unemployment a point below the national rate. Fifty-one percent of white voters with no college education preferred the president, compared with 45 percent who backed Romney in a recent University of Cincinnati/Ohio Newspaper Organization poll.

The margin of error was plus or minus 6 percentage points.

“I think Obama can bring things back. I really do,” said Valinda Liggett, an electrician, as she shopped in a dollar store in Dillonvale. “He’s trying. Rome wasn’t built in a day. He can only do so much.”

Still, conversations with people along the hills and in towns around state Route 7, which hugs the Ohio River on the Ohio-West Virginia line, showed much frustration with the economy.

Shuttered steel mills and the Great Recession have drained businesses and jobs from what once were vibrant towns.

Many dislike the Obama administration’s stance on the coal industry, which puts food on thousands of tables in this region. Along the two-lane roads that curl through the hills west of Route 7, yard signs reading “Stop the War on Coal — Fire Obama” are a common sight.

‘Sons of Anarchy’ actor suspected of killing woman LOS ANGELES (AP) — An actor whose character died a violent death on the TV drama “Sons of Anarchy” plunged to his death in a driveway after apparently killing his landlady and attacking neighbors near Hollywood, police said Thursday.

Johnny Lewis, who played Kip “Half-Sack” Epps in the FX show, is the only suspect in the death of 81-year-old Catherine Davis, according to Los Angeles police.

Authorities found them dead Wednesday morning after neighbors

reported a woman screaming inside the home, Cmdr. Andrew Smith said.

The home was ransacked, glass was shattered and a dead cat was found.

Neighbors said a man had jumped a fence and assaulted a painter and homeowner next door.

The body of Lewis, 28, was found in the driveway. He could have jumped or fallen from the roof, garage or balcony, or tumbled down stairs from a patio area, Smith said.

It appears Davis had been beaten, Smith added.

Older voters look beyond Medicare, Social Security

BY JOSH LEDERMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Get in line, Medicare and Social Security. Seniors, like just about everyone else, have money on their minds.

Who wins the trust of seniors, a group that votes at a higher rate than any other, will be a deciding factor in the presidential election.

That should be good news for Mitt Romney, because those 65 and older have backed the Republican candidate in both of the last two presidential elections.

But President Barack Obama has been pounding Romney and his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, on their plan for Medicare. Those attacks are starting to bear fruit for Obama, who is gaining ground among seniors in two key battlegrounds: Florida and Ohio.

Still, Romney has the edge nationally among seniors — in no small part thanks to seniors’ concerns about Obama’s handling of the economy.

Nowhere will the senior vote be as powerful or as prominent as in Florida, where Romney and Obama are competing fiercely.

“It’s not just the cookie cutter that every senior here is totally dependent on Social Security and Medicare,” said Susan MacManus, a political scientist at the University of South Florida. “As the FDR generation has passed and generational replacement has occurred, you get a more divided senior electorate.”

More seniors say the economy is extremely important to their vote than Medicare, says a poll released Thursday by the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. A recent Associated Press-GfK poll shows 7 in 10 seniors say taxes and the federal deficit are important to them.

Even for those well into retirement, a feeble economy affects older Americans in ways you might not realize. Many have had to bail out adult children who have lost their jobs and turned to their aging parents for help. And those who lived through the Great Depression as children relate intimately to the perils of an over-indebted nation.

Just ask Dominic Santoro, an 81-year-old retiree from Sunny Isles Beach, Fla., who said it’s different for seniors than it is for younger Americans, who have years to make up what was lost during the recession.

“That’s very nice, but what about the poor senior citizen that’s no longer working and can’t replace that money?” said Santoro, who plans to vote for Romney.

But if seniors’ concerns extend beyond entitlements, those seeking the White House don’t seem to have caught on.

Obama and Ryan both hewed closely to themes of Medicare and Social Security in their speeches last week to an AARP summit in New Orleans. Ryan, who was loudly booed for vowing to repeal “Obamacare,” offered assurances that he and Romney wouldn’t

alter Medicare for those in or near retirement.

“Medicare is a promise, and we will honor it,” Ryan said. “A RomneyRyan administration will protect and strengthen Medicare — for my mom’s generation and for my kids and yours.”

Not so, said Obama, warning seniors that Ryan and Romney want to replace Medicare with vouchers that wouldn’t keep up with health care costs. It’s an admonition echoed in a television ad Obama’s campaign started airing Friday in Florida, Colorado and Iowa.

Both Ryan and Romney invoked their late grandmothers in working to convince AARP members that they understand what seniors go through.

“She was a great citizen who lived up to her responsibilities,” Obama said. “And after a lifetime of hard work, what she hoped for in return was to be able to live out her golden years with dignity and security, and to see her grandchildren and her great grandchildren have a better life.”

Although far from a monolithic bloc, seniors by and large have sided with Romney throughout this year’s election and favored the former Massachusetts governor 5241 in a national AP-GfK poll in September. While Romney has lost his edge among overall voters on handling of the economy, seniors are the holdout, preferring Romney by 10 points over Obama on that issue.

But in competitive states that could determine the election’s outcome, seniors’ attitudes are on the move. Over the past month, Obama has climbed 9 points in Florida and 4 points in Ohio, giving him an edge over Romney in both states, according to a new Quinnipiac University/CBS News/New York Times poll. It’s the opposite in Pennsylvania, where Obama has lost his edge among seniors and now trails Romney 45-50.

Older voters will make up a dramatically larger part of the population in the coming decades, according to a report released Tuesday by the National Academy of Sciences. Americans are living longer, working longer and waiting until later in life to have children.

In the near term, that shift may work in Republicans’ favor, offsetting some of the boost that Democrats are expected to enjoy from the growing minority population.

Those who witnessed a post-Depression resurgence tend to fondly recall FDR’s New Deal and may be more likely to vote Democratic, said William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank. But as time marches on, they’ll be replaced by their younger counterparts.

“The ones who came up since then, the socalled ‘Silent Generation, has moved more conservative on fiscal issues,” said Frey. They came into their own in the 1950s and 1960s, saved their money and want to know those savings will still be there when it’s time to draw them out.

2 election boards set Deer warnings issued early boting hours OHIO

NEWS BRIEFS

COLUMBUS (AP) — State officials are warning motorists to watch out for deer on the roadways as breeding season for the animals begins in Ohio.

The risk of hitting a deer on the road is greater from October through January when the animals are on the move more. It happens most often at dawn and dusk. Most crashes occur in November.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources reports there were 22,696 deer-vehicle collisions in Ohio in 2011 — down 2.2 percent from the previous year. Those crashes resulted in seven fatalities and more than 1,000 injuries.

The number of such crashes has decreased for the past three years in row.

Stark County in northeastern Ohio led the way last year with 615 deer crashes.

Convicted serial killer challenges conviction CLEVELAND (AP) — An Ohio man sentenced to death for killing 11 women whose remains were found in and around his Cleveland home is now challenging his conviction.

WEWS-TV reports Thursday that lawyers for Anthony Sowell (SOH’-wehl) of Cleveland filed a petition to have his conviction overturned and win a new trial.

Such filings are common for those sentenced to the death penalty and often are turned down.

Prosecutors said Sowell, who was convicted last year of killing 11 women, lured the victims to his home by promising them alcohol or drugs.

The murdered women began vanishing in 2007.

Police discovered 10 bodies and a skull at Sowell’s house in late 2009 after officers went there on a woman’s report that she had been raped at the home.

COLUMBUS (AP) — At least two Ohio elections boards have set their own hours during disputed early voting days, as the battleground state waits for a federal appeals court to sort out whether people can cast an early ballot on the three days before Election Day. Jefferson County in eastern Ohio and Wayne County in the northeast have set their own early-voting hours for the Nov. 6 general election. Elections board members in Summit County, where Akron is the county seat, also voted on election hours but it was unclear if the vote counted.

The Obama campaign and Democrats sued earlier this year over part of the new Ohio law that cuts off early voting on the Friday evening before a Tuesday election, except for military personnel

and Ohio voters living overseas. U.S. District Judge Peter Economus in August issued a preliminary injunction, saying the law was unconstitutional in changing the in-person early voting deadline.

The state appealed Economus’ ruling.

Economus also said he expected Secretary of State Jon Husted to direct all county election boards to maintain a consistent schedule on those three days. Husted initially banned all of Ohio’s 88 county boards from establishing hours while the appeal process is under way. He later rescinded that directive after he was ordered to appear before the judge.

Ohio is among 32 states, plus the District of Columbia, that allow voters to cast early ballots in person without having to give reasons.

Ohio’s previous law allowed early voting on

the three days before a Tuesday election.

In Jefferson County, the elections board voted to set tentative early voting hours for the Saturday before Nov. 6. The time is in line with the board’s normal business hours for that day, said Diane Gribble, the board’s director.

“Whether we’re voting or we’re not, we’re here,” Gribble said, adding the office would comply with any court ruling or Husted directive. “This is just trying to cover all of the bases.”

Wayne County elections officials held a special meeting to set hours on the Saturday and Monday before Election Day. The two Democrats and two Republicans on the board approved the hours without any objections, said B. Jean Mohr, the board’s chair.

In Summit County, two Democrats on the board moved to set early

voting hours during the disputed days while one of their GOP counterparts is recovering in the hospital from a car accident. Ray Weber, the lone attending Republican, left Tuesday’s meeting in protest. It wasn’t clear whether the 2-0 vote to approve early voting hours on the three days stands.

The county prosecutor’s office said the board had a quorum at the time of the vote because Weber was still in the room. Husted’s office disagreed.

Weber said Thursday that the topic should have been on the board agenda and not brought up “by ambush.”

“Unless the court sets the hours, Secretary of State Husted will set the hours … not the Summit Democratic County Party, or even the Summit County Board of Elections,” said Weber, an Akron lawyer.

Disposal of kidney at Senate candidate Ohio hospital ‘baffling’ pushes reforms

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Republican challenger in Ohio’s Senate race says changes are needed in Washington to push action on the budget deficit and national debt.

State Treasurer Josh Mandel told a small Mandel Brown gathering of supporters Thursday at a downtown Cincinnati hotel that his proposals for term limits, halting congressional pay if a budget hasn’t been passed, and stopping pensions for those who become lobbyists after leaving Congress would make politicians from both parties more accountable.

Some recent polls have indicated Mandel is trailing in his bid to unseat first-term Democrat Sherrod Brown.

While Mandel criticizes Brown as “a career politician,” the Democrat’s campaign portrays Mandel as opportunistic for running for Senate less than two years after his election as treasurer.

Brown campaigned in southwest Ohio on Wednesday.

TOLEDO (AP) — The accidental disposal of a viable kidney by an experienced nurse during a transplant was a “baffling” act, said a surgeon hired by the University of Toledo Medical Center to review its kidney transplant program following the botched procedure.

The report found no problems with the systems or the culture at the hospital that would have indicated it was at risk for such a mistake, wrote Dr. Marlon Levy, surgical director for transplantation at Baylor All Saints Medical Center in Fort Worth.

A nurse who threw the viable kidney into the trash during the aborted transplant on Aug. 10 did not follow standard operating

room procedures, according to the report obtained by The (Toledo) Blade.

“Her actions were indeed baffling.” the report said.

Another report conducted by the state for the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and released Monday said poor oversight and communication and insufficient policies were factors in the kidney’s disposal.

The botched transplant led to the voluntary, temporary suspension of the hospital’s living-donor kidney transplant program and to reviews by health officials and a consulting surgeon hired by the hospital. One nurse was fired and another resigned.

The hospital hasn’t said what happened to the intended kidney recipient, who was supposed to receive an organ donated by her brother. The intended and her recipient brother were released from the hospital, which didn’t identify them and said it couldn’t say whether she received a different kidney.

Hospital officials apologized and have enacted clearer policies to clarify communication between nurses who fill in for one another and to make sure nothing is removed from an operating room until the patient has been moved from it.

Levy wrote that he did not interview the nurse who threw away the kidney because she

had been placed on leave. He said that the nurse had missed several signs that should indicated that the kidney transplant had not been completed.

He also said it was baffling that others on the transplant team didn’t see the nurse dismantle the machine that keeps the organ cool until it is transplanted or see her remove the contents.

The nurse said she didn’t realize the kidney was in chilled, protective slush that she removed from the operating room and “flushed down a hopper,” according to the review conducted by the state.

Amish say families will suffer if bond revoked crimes in the hair attacks last fall that prosecutors said stemmed from religious disputes among the Amish in eastern Ohio. Prosecutors say they targeted hair because it carries spiritual significance in their faith.

The leader of the group was found guilty of orchestrating the cuttings 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.

Following the convictions, prosecutors said detention is mandatory for the defendants and asked that bond be revoked. U.S. District Court Judge Dan Aaron Polster is weigh-

ing the request.

The defense plans to appeal the convictions.

Several of the people convicted are married, and prison terms could leave close to 50 children with one or both parents behind bars.

The attorney for one woman says she should be allowed to remain free until sentencing, in part, because she’s busy harvesting crops and canning food for her 10 children.

“She is the sole support of these children.

She does the housework, washes the clothes, cooks all the meals and does the sole parenting duties,” wrote Joseph Dubyak, an attorney for Linda Schrock. Her husband, who also was convicted in the case, has been jailed since his arrest.

Lester Miller, who has remained free,

works on a construction crew and his family will rely on the money he makes and saves over the next few months until his sentence is completed, said his attorney, Dean Caro. “The possibility of saving as

much money as possible before being imprisoned is not one to be taken lightly,” Caro said.

Miller, who has 11 children under the age of 16, is also needed at home for the fall harvest and to preserve food for

the winter, his attorney said.

“If Mr. Miller is detained before the canning season, his family may not have adequate reserves of food for the coming winter,” Caro said.

HAVE WE GOT A SOLUTION FOR YOU!

2321422

TOLEDO (AP) — Putting all of the Amish men and women convicted in beard- and hair-cutting attacks on fellow Amish behind bars now during harvest season would create a financial hardship for their families and could leave their children hungry this winter, their lawyers said.

Nine of the 16 Amish people convicted a week ago have remained free, but the government wants them locked up before they are sentenced early next year.

Defense attorneys for some of those who have been out on bond say their clients don’t pose a threat to anyone and that they have not been in trouble before, according to court documents filed Thursday.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Intoxicated man busted BUNNELL, Fla. (AP) — A man was intoxicated while riding his horse as he led police on a half-hour chase through a northeast Florida town, authorities said Tuesday.

Charles Larkin Cowart, 29, was arrested Monday afternoon in the city of Bunnell, about 60 miles south of Jacksonville.

A police officer was responding to a report of “an intoxicated male riding a horse” when he turned on his emergency lights to stop traffic as Cowart crossed the street, according to the charging affidavit. Cowart said he was on his way to his grandmother’s house in nearby Flagler Beach, but refused officers’ order to dismount and “in an aggressive manner reared the horse back” and took off running.

Israel’s Netanyahu draws his ‘red line’ for Iran UNITED NATIONS (AP) — In his most detailed plea to date for global action against Iran’s nuclear program, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday the world has until next summer at the latest to stop Iran before it can build a nuclear bomb.

Netanyahu flashed a diagram of a cartoon-like bomb before the U.N. General Assembly showing the progress Iran has made, saying it has already completed the first stage of uranium enrichment.

Then he pulled out a red marker and drew a line across what he said was a threshold Iran was approaching and which Israel could not tolerate — the completion of the second stage and 90 percent of the way to the uranium enrichment needed to make an atomic bomb.

“By next spring, at most by next summer at current enrichment rates, they will have

finished the medium enrichment and move on to the final stage,” he said. “From there, it’s only a few months, possibly a few weeks before they get enough enriched uranium for the first bomb.”

Israel considers a nucleararmed Iran to be an existential threat, citing Iranian denials of the Holocaust, its calls for Israel’s destruction, its development of missiles capable of striking the Jewish state and its support for hostile Arab militant groups.

Neither the U.S. nor any of its international partners are ready to abandon diplomacy in favor of military or other actions to resolve the decadelong standoff over Iran’s nuclear program.

On Thursday, six world powers decided to lay the groundwork for another round of negotiations with Iran, a senior U.S. official said, but they want a significantly improved offer

from the Islamic republic.

The new hope for negotiated end came after U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met with the foreign ministers of Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia — powers that have sought, over several rounds of talks, to persuade Iran to halt its production of material that could be used in nuclear weapons.

The latest stab at a diplomatic compromise collapsed this summer after Iran proposed to stop producing higher-enriched uranium in exchange for a suspension in international sanctions, which Clinton has termed a “nonstarter.” The U.S. official said Iran would have to bring a much better offer to the table this time, but stressed that nations were seeing some signs for optimism and that diplomacy remained “far and away the preferred way to deal with this issue.”

No date was set for the possible resumption of the socalled P5+1 talks with Iran, said the U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because she wasn’t authorized to comment publicly about the closed-doors meeting at the United Nations.

After looking for a diplomatic solution there, Clinton met later Thursday with Netanyahu at a New York hotel where she was expected to hear the alternative argument for possible military action.

Their face-to-face occurred just hours after the Israeli presented his case to the world just why a nuclear armed Iran would be a danger to many countries.

Casting the battle as one between modernity and the “medieval forces of radical Islam,” Netanyahu said deterrence would not work against Iran as it had with the Soviet Union.

Romney decries military cuts; Obama talking jobs VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — President Barack Obama pledged to create many more jobs and “make the middle class secure again” in a campaign-closing appeal on Thursday — more than five weeks before Election Day — to voters already casting ballots in large numbers.

Republican Mitt Romney, focusing on threats beyond American shores, accused the commander in chief of backing dangerous cuts in defense spending.

“The idea of cutting our military is unthinkable and devastating. And when I become president we will not,” declared the challenger, struggling to reverse a slide in opinion polls.

Romney and Obama campaigned a few hundred miles apart in Virginia, 40 days before their long race ends.

They’ll be in much closer quarters next Wednesday in Denver — for the first of three presidential debates on the campaign calendar and perhaps the challenger’s best remaining chance to change the trajectory of the campaign.

In a race where the economy is the dominant issue, there was a fresh sign of national weakness as the Commerce Department lowered its earlier estimate of tepid growth last spring. Romney and his allies seized on the news as evidence that Obama’s policies aren’t working.

There was good news for the president in the form of a survey by The Washington Post and Kaiser Family Foundation suggesting he has gained ground among older voters after a month-long ad

war over Republican plans for Medicare.

The pace also was quickening in the struggle for control of the U.S. Senate.

Prominent Republican conservatives pledged financial and political support for Rep. Todd Akin in Missouri. That complicated Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill’s bid for reelection. But it also left Romney, running mate Paul Ryan and the rest of the GOP hierarchy in an awkward position after they tried unsuccessfully to push Akin off the ballot in the wake of his controversial comments about rape.

Farther west, in Arizona, Republican Rep. Jeff Flake unleashed an ad calling Democratic rival Richard Carmona “Barack Obama’s rubberstamp.” It was not meant as a compliment in a state seemingly headed Romney’s way, a response for sure to Democratic claims that the Senate contest was unexpectedly close.

In the presidential race, early voting has already begun in Virginia as well as South Dakota, Idaho and Vermont. It began during the day in Wyoming as well as in Iowa, like Virginia one of the most highly contested states.

Early voters had formed a line a half block long in Des Moines before the elections office opened at 8 a.m.

Campaigning in Virginia Beach, Obama said, “It’s time for a new economic patriotism, an economic patriotism rooted in the belief that growing our economy begins with a strong and thriving middle class.” It was a line straight from the two-minute television commercial his campaign released overnight.

A SYRIAN man (left) is comforted after the death of his brother by a Syrian Army sniper, outside Dar El Shifa Hospital in Aleppo, Syria, Thursday.

Text to rebels: ‘Game over’ BEIRUT (AP) — Cellphones in Syria rang, buzzed and chirped Thursday with an ominous text message from the military to members of the armed rebellion: “Game over.”

The rebels provided their own response to the regime’s warning to surrender and disarm by launching new attacks to drive government troops out of the largest city of Aleppo.

There’s no indication that the stalemated civil war has taken a decisive turn in any direction, however, and the bloodshed that has already claimed more than 30,000 lives looks likely to drag on for many more months.

Compounding the grim outlook, sharp disagreements between Syria’s foreign friends

and foes — on display at the U.N. General Assembly this week — have prevented a diplomatic solution from taking shape.

Syrians with subscriptions to the country’s two cellphone service providers said they began receiving the text messages signed by the Syrian Arab Army urging the rebels to surrender their weapons and warning that a countdown to evict any foreign fighters in the country has begun. Those with prepaid phones did not receive a message, according to residents in the capital of Damascus.

The texts appeared to be a kind of psychological warfare against the rebels by the regime of President Bashar Assad.

NYC to round out skyline with Ferris wheel NEW YORK (AP) — The Big Apple is getting another “biggest”: the world’s tallest Ferris wheel, part of an ambitious plan to draw New Yorkers and tourists alike to the city’s so-called “forgotten borough.”

The 625-foot-tall, $230 million New York Wheel is to grace a spot in Staten Island overlooking the Statue of Liberty and the downtown Manhattan skyline, offering a singular view as it sweeps higher than other big wheels like the Singapore Flyer, the London Eye and a “High Roller” planned for Las Vegas.

Designed to carry 1,440 passengers at a time, it’s expected to draw 4.5 million people a year to a setting that also would include a 100-shop outlet mall and a 200-room hotel.

It will be “an attraction unlike any other in New York City — in fact, it will

be, we think, unlike any other on the planet,” Mayor Michael Bloomberg said as he unveiled the plans against the backdrop of New York Harbor. While the privately financed project faces various reviews, officials hope to have the wheel turning by the end of 2015.

The wheel would put Staten Island on the map of superlatives in a place where “biggest” is almost an expectation — home to the nation’s biggest city population, busiest mass-transit system, even the biggest Applebee’s restaurant.

The attraction stands to change the profile of the least populous and most remote of the city’s five boroughs, a sometime municipal underdog that has taken insults from New Jersey and was once known for having the world’s largest … landfill.

“It’s going to be a real icon. The Ferris wheel will be Staten Island’s Eiffel Tower,”

Sen. Charles Schumer enthused.

As a visible addition to the skyline around the harbor, the wheel “gives Staten Island an identity beyond its role as a suburban community,” while letting it tap into the stream of tourist money in a city that drew 50.9 million visitors last year, said Mitchell Moss, a New York University urban policy professor.

The project is expected to bring $500 million in private investment and 1,100 permanent jobs to the borough’s St. George waterfront, and the developers will pay the city $2.5 million a year in rent for the land.

Staten Island isn’t entirely off the tourist map. Its free ferry is the city’s third-largest tourist attraction, carrying an estimated 2 million visitors a year alongside millions of residents, officials say.

By getting out of bed, she slides backward into her wheelchair. She has also figured out how to get her wheelchair to the toilet, so she can go to the bathroom without help. She is determined to get better.

Saturday our new Amish neighbor Joas and Susan and three daughters biked over to see Loretta. She was glad for their company.

Sisters Verena and Susan came over for a few minutes to see how her surgery went. Neighbor Susan brought us apple fry pies and a pumpkin roll from her bakery. That was a treat for us, since I didn’t get any baking done that week. They operate a bakery where they used to live and will gradually move it over to their new home. Their daughters are the same age as our daughters, and they seem to have made friends quickly.

Daughter Elizabeth started working in the cabinet shop area of the trailer factory this week.

HOUSTON — Houston FFA chapter members volunteered their time for the Drive Yourself Farm Tour at the Bennett farm in Houston Sept. 16.

The Drive Yourself Farm Tour provides the opportunity to visit different farms and allows people in the community to see different agricultural enterprises.

This was a good experience for the Houston FFA chapter members to gain community service hours and to experience

the farms and wetlands themselves. The FFA members helped with painting faces, bean bag games, and animal tracks craft projects for younger children.

Members helped people who were through the going prairies and observing the wet lands get on and off the wagons.

“I thought it was a great experience for the members to interact with the public and help with the painting and games,” said Greg Ward, Houston FFA adviser. This was the

first time for the Houston FFA providing assistance with the Shelby County Farm Tour.

Members who participated in the farm tour were Seth Clark, Kiaya Shellenberg, Nick Shoemaker, Devan Nagel, Aaron Heckman, Kristin Michael, Ashlan Jester, Azen Reier, Perry Price, Zach Freytag, Heather Davis, Caleb Skeens, Zach Mckee, Micalah Hensley, Alex Vondenhuevel, Devon Jester, Andrew Sluss and Jacob Gates.

The resignation of Adam Barga as freshman boys basketball coach was approved.

Superintendent Steve Rose introduced new staff members Hollie Ahrens, elementary guidance counselor, and Luciano Tacuri, high school Spanish teacher.

Rose also reviewed the Race to the Top Initiatives, updated the board on the revised kindergarten schedule and bus routes, elementary schedule and the status of the AP and dual enrollment courses at Russia. He also discussed the upcoming Russia Wellness Foundation initiatives. Options were reviewed for a storage area at the track.

The board approved an increase of $2,307 to the REAP fund. The list of substitute teachers was approved as submitted at a rate of $80 per day as needed for the school year.

This year the State of the School address will be done digitally and posted on the school website to increase public awareness of the accomplishments and status of Russia Local School.

The board approved an overnight high school band trip to see “Shrek the Musical” at the Victoria Theater. The board also accepted a donation of $500 from the Russia Music Boosters for scholarship purposes.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, Sept. 29, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Upsets between partners and close friends are likely today. Some friendships will end because one of you wants his or her freedom. (Could be you; could be someone else.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Interruptions at work are unavoidable today. Expect computer crashes, power outages, broken equipment, staff shortages and canceled meetings.

Yikes!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This definitely is an accident-prone day for your children or for children in your care; therefore, be extra vigilant.

Be mindful of potential hazards.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Domestic arguments, as well as the breakdown of small appliances or minor breakages, definitely will upset your home routine today. Just cope as best you can.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an accident-prone day, so take it easy. Keep the eyes in the back of your head wide open! Forewarned is forearmed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Financial upsets are highly likely today. Check your bank balance. Make sure you know what bills might be overdue. Interruptions to cash flow could happen. (Groan.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Arguments and unexpected events will totally change your daily routine today. Someone likely will do something that really surprises you. In fact, a friendship might end now. (Possibly, you will meet someone quite unusual today.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Something out of the blue will make you sit up and take notice at work today. It could be someone who is unusual or bizarre, or surprising news could catch you off-guard.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Romance is rocky today. Even relationships with children are potentially explosive. Demonstrate grace under pressure. (Keep things light.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Difficulties with authority figures are par for the course today. Don’t get your belly in a rash. Just accept what is happening, and work to the best of your ability within this situation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Avoid controversial subjects with others today, because people are touchy and explosive! Don’t try to persuade others to see things your way. Remember that the quickest way to end an argument is to agree.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might find money today; you might lose money. You also might lose something you own due to breakage, theft or misplacing it. Be alert so that you can avoid regrets about your money and possessions.

YOU BORN TODAY You’re extremely capable, and many of you develop a particular talent or technique. Because you strive for stability, you value family. You function well in all group settings, although a lot of excitement seems to swirl around you! You are both very relaxed and very intense.

You love to make plans for the future.

In the year ahead, you will study or learn something valuable.

and an immediate-release form. If you take the immediate release, the medicine might be long gone before you waken the next day.

The same goes for glyburide. It lasts from 12 to 24 hours. But if you are a person in whom it lasts on the shorter side of that span, it, too, may have been metabolized long before you wake in the morning.

A before-breakfast blood sugar is best when in the range of 70 (3.9) to 130 (7.2) Your highest reading is 150 (8.3), not all that far from the ideal high. Too-exact control can result in dangerously low readings.

Your hemoglobin A1C is perfect. It indicates blood sugar control for the prior three months. I see why your doctors are happy with your readings. You should be too.

DEAR DR. DONO-

HUE: I take 81 milligrams of aspirin daily. I will be taking a trip to the Far East, which includes a 14-hour plane ride. I am thinking of taking the higher aspirin dose, 325 milligrams. Is all I need the 81 milligrams? — S.B. ANSWER: The 81milligram strength aspirin ought to afford you protection against forming clots. Stagnant blood tends to clot. If the legs are in a resting position, like sitting on airplane for 14 straight hours, the leg veins could develop clots.

You can add to the anti-clotting effect of aspirin by getting up and walking up and down the aisle every half hour. Or if the airplane crew takes a dim view of this, you can contract your leg muscles many times every 15 minutes when you are seated.

September 28, 1937 The city council at its regular meeting last night, by a tie vote made possible by the absence of one of its members on account of illness, failed to pass the ordinance granting an increase of $15 per month to the members of the police and fire departments.

“Yea” votes were cast by Alber, Dillman and McClure; “nay” votes were registered by Ginn, Stafford and Wheeler.

Councilman Ratermann was absent. At the meeting Mayor Lauglin advised council members that he was again vetoing the ordinance regulating connections to the city sewer system by residents outside the city.

This was the second time the ordinance had been vetoed.

Tribe fires Manny Acta

CINCINNATI REDS' Dioner Navarro celebrates after hitting a triple to drive in the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning of a baseball game against the Milwaukee Brewers, Thursday in Cincinnati. Cincinnati won 2-1.

Unexpected celebration Beat Brewers 2-1 with two in bottom of the ninth

CLEVELAND (AP) — Someone had to be blamed for the Indians’ collapse.

Manager Manny Acta took the fall.

Acta, hired by Cleveland in 2009 after two losing seasons as Washington’s manager, was fired Thursday by the Indians, who dropped from contention in July to last place in the AL Central.

Cleveland was within three games of first place on July 21 before losing 21 of 25, going 524 in August, and eventually sliding all the way to the bottom of its division. It certainly wasn’t all Acta’s fault, but there were times when the Indians seemed to be going through the motions and a lack of effort isn’t a positive reflection on any manager.

Acta went 214-266 in nearly three seasons with the Indians, who are just 21-50 in the second half this season.

Acta had one season left on his contract.

The Indians announced Acta will not return in 2013 on an off day before they opened a final homestand against Kansas City and the Chicago White Sox. If there is any solace to Acta it’s that his final two games were road wins over the second-place White Sox, who are chasing Detroit for the division title.

Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said the search for a new manager will begin immediately. Acta’s coaching staff will remain intact for the rest of this season.

Antonetti, who probably shares some responsibility for the Indians’ stunning drop this season, said the decision to dismiss Acta was made Wednesday night following discussions with Indians president Mark Shapiro and owner Paul Dolan.

CINCINNATI (AP) — This Cincinnati celebration was unexpected.

One out away from another nondescript loss, the NL Central champions pulled out a 21 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday that sparked their first on-field celebration since clinching the title five days earlier.

Didn’t mean nearly as much, but it felt good nonetheless.

Slumping Todd Frazier tied the game with a two-out homer in the ninth inning, and Dioner Navarro followed with an RBI triple that dealt a major setback to the Brewers’ playoff chances.

The Reds had struggled on offense the last two games despite playing most of their regulars. The two-out rally provided a nice moment for a team focused on the big picture.

“Runs are not our worry,” said Frazier, who has an empty bottle of Korbel champagne in his locker as a keepsake from the clincher. “Our worry is figuring out who we’ll play in the playoffs.”

The Brewers slipped four games behind idle St. Louis for the final NL wild card with six games left.

All they needed was one more out from closer John Axford (5-8), who had converted his last 15 save chances. Frazier connected on the first pitch for his first homer since Aug. 21, tying it at 1. Jay Bruce singled and came around on Navarro’s triple to deep right-center field.

Navarro worked the count

full and pulled two balls down the first base line that curved foul by a few feet before hitting the game-winner.

“He kept challenging me and challenging me,” Navarro said. “Once I got to two strikes, I was just trying to put the ball in play and make something happen. Then he threw me a little curveball.”

Until the ninth inning, the Reds played a like a team that had already clinched, managing only three singles and fanning a dozen times. Axford’s rare failure — he’s 33 of 42 overall in save chances — provided a stunning finish for the Brewers, who won the division last season.

Bench coach Chris Speier isn’t worried about the Reds’ recent struggle to get hits as they head off for three games in Pittsburgh followed by three in St. Louis.

“Not at all,” he said. “If we were in St. Louis right now, we might wondering, ‘Is this it?’ We might be a little concerned, but good pitching will do that.”

The Brewers headed home for six concluding games against Houston and San Diego. Meanwhile, the Cardinals finish with six at home against Washington and Cincinnati, the two teams vying for the NL’s top seed in the playoffs.

Reds manager Dusty Baker missed his eighth game while recovering from an irregular heartbeat and a mini-stroke.

He was at the ballpark before the game. Doctors think he could return to managing on

Monday in St. Louis.

“It’s a shame he wasn’t able to celebrate with us,” Reds starter Mat Latos said. “It will be good for him to be back. We have big series coming up in Pittsburgh and St. Louis — and also, the playoffs.”

Latos, who pitched eight shutout innings during a 6-0 win on Saturday night that clinched the division title, allowed only three this over seven innings, including Carlos Gomez’s 17th homer leading off the third inning.

Jonathan Broxton (3-1) escaped a two-on threat in the ninth to keep it 1-0.

Milwaukee also had a new concern about its rotation as it left town. Rookie starter Wily Peralta came out of the game after throwing a high fastball — his 71st pitch — to fan Latos in the sixth inning. The 23year-old is considered Milwaukee’s top pitching prospect. He allowed only two hits and fanned a career-high six.

NOTES: The Reds went 50-31 at Great American Ball Park, the most wins there in a season. ... Gomez’s homer was only the second allowed

by Latos in his last six starts, four of them at homerfriendly Great American Ball Park. ... The Reds won the season series against the Brewers 9-6. ...

The Sidney girls soccer team ran its record to 4-0 in the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division with a 4-1 victory over Vandalia Wednesday night at the soccer stadium.

The game was back and forth to start until Morgan Knasel was able to get through the defense on a ball from Lauren Elmore in the 25th minute of the first half.

That’s how the half ended, even though Sidney outshot the Lady Aviators 16-5.

“I was a little frustrated at the half that the score was just 1-0,” said Sidney coach Stacey Goffena. “We had quite a few opportunities and with the wet conditions, I didn’t

want a fluke goal to end up tying the game. I told the girls at the half that we needed to score quick and get that second goal because the longer it stayed 1-0, the more momentum they would have to tie it.”

Unfortunately, her worst fears were realized when Vandalia got a break on the outside and was able to score to tie the game at 1-1.

The Lady Jackets put some runs together and at the 27th minute, Monique Hanayik and Knasel teamed up on a combination play, with Knasel finishing it for her 20th goal of the season.

Then at the 19-minute mark, Hanayik took a through ball from Konner Harris and

finished for a 3-1 lead.

That gave us some breathing room,” said Goffena. “But I didn’t want the girls to settle.”

Just one minute later, Lauren Elmore found Hanayik for her second goal of the match.

“Monique had been all around the goal all night so I was glad she finally was able to get two to go in,” said the coach. “I’m happy with how we played at times, but we still have a few kinks that we need to work on before we play Troy next week for the North title.”

The Sidney junior varsity won 5-0, with goals from Maci Homan, Samantha Case, Shaylee Hanayik, Ashley Egan and Sara Lewis.

Young Buckeyes about to make first road trip RUSTY MILLER AP Sports Writer COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Urban Meyer isn’t handing out a lot of redshirts at No. 14 Ohio State. Instead, he’s throwing his freshmen into the heat of the action.

That might be good news down the road. But it’ll make for some anxious moments this week when the Buckeyes hit the road for the first time at No. 20 Michigan State.

Indeed, in East Lansing, those first-year players will face a trial by fire. The Buckeyes have 15 freshmen getting playing time, in fact, and 12 are listed as secondteamers on offense or defense.

It could be twice that many in Meyer’s mind.

“It seems like there’s a lot, and a lot in some key areas,” he said. “It’s alarming at times.”

It’s the price a firstyear coach has to pay to change the attitude, culture and record of a team coming off a sevenloss season.

Sure, the Buckeyes (40) have some very good upperclassmen who are still the team’s rudder.

But Meyer also knows the missed assignments, nerves and mental errors this autumn will pay benefits later.

OSU-MSU Preview Capsule The Associated Press No. 14 Ohio State (4-0) at No. 20 Michigan State (3-1), 3:30 p.m. (ABC) Series Record: Ohio State leads 27-13.

WHAT’S AT STAKE It’s the Big Ten opener for Michigan State, which is hoping to reach the Rose Bowl after narrowly missing out the last two seasons. Ohio State isn’t eligible to win the conference, but this is a chance for new coach Urban Meyer to make a statement on the road against a quality opponent.

KEY MATCHUP Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller vs. Michigan State’s pass rush. It wasn’t pretty for the Buckeyes last year, when they allowed nine sacks in a 10-7 loss to the Spartans. Ohio State’s defense is currently ranked last in the Big Ten, so Meyer’s offense may need to score some points to win this one.

PLAYERS TO WATCH Ohio State: RB Jordan Hall. He’ll be playing his third game since missing all of preseason camp after cutting a tendon in his foot. He went for 87 yards on 17 carries two weeks ago in a comeback win against California, then had a career-best 105 yards on 17 carries in a victory over Alabama-Birmingham.

Michigan State: RB Le’Veon Bell. With the Spartans’ passing game struggling to hit its stride, Bell already has 610 yards on 117 carries. He had 182 carries all last season.

FACTS & FIGURES Michigan State becomes the first team to host three opponents ranked in The AP Top 25 before Oct. 1 since Stanford and Washington in 2007. The Spartans beat Boise State and lost to Notre Dame. ... This is Ohio State’s first game on grass this season. The Buckeyes were 0-3 on grass last season. ... Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio spent three years as the defensive coordinator at Ohio State (2001-03) under then-coach Jim Tressel. ... This is Meyer’s eighth 4-0 start.

“For the future it’s great,” he said. “There’s some quality freshmen that we believe in, so this’ll be a whole different test. It’s Big Ten play and on the road — another obstacle for true freshmen.”

The rookies the Buckeyes will depend the

most on are center Jacoby Boren, linemen Decker and Taylor Chase Farris, tight end Nick Vannett, wide receiver Michael Thomas, defensive linemen Noah Spence, Adolphus Washington, Tommy Schutt and Chris Carter and linebackers Conner

Crowell, David Perkins and Joshua Perry.

It’s funny, but the primary example of the benefits ‚Äî and pitfalls ‚Äî of playing a freshman is Ohio State’s starting quarterback.

Braxton Miller got his first career start a year ago as a true freshman when the Buckeyes hosted the 25th-ranked Spartans.

It wasn’t pretty.

Miller was harassed and harried all day by linebackers Max Bullough and Denicos Allen and linemen Jerel Worthy and William Gholston. He was sacked nine times by the active, physical Michigan State defense. When he wasn’t getting knocked down, Miller was getting hurried into an awful passing day. Before being replaced by senior Joe Bauserman, he completed 5 of 10 passes for just 56 yards with an interception while losing 27 yards thanks to all of those tackles behind the line.

Their offense throttled, the Buckeyes lost 10-7, their first of five losses in eight Big Ten games on the way to a 67 record.

Thankfully, Miller doesn’t remember much about that debacle.

“It’s blurred,” he said.

“We had a couple struggles. It was bad, a little bit.”

Jacket booters blank Wapak Sidney’s boys soccer team upped its record to 7-3-2 on the season with a 4-0 non-league win over Wapakoneta Thursday night.

The Jackets led 2-0 at the half after goals by Brady Gaylor and Preston Heath. For Heath, it was the first of three on the night.

assist by Eric Beigel.

In the second half, Heath scored off a short corner, with a double assists by Gaylor and Dustin Lorenzo.

Then Gaylor got another assist on Heath’s final goal of the night.

Braxton Miller has come a long way since last year’s 10-7 loss to Michigan State when he threw for only 56 yards, didn’t have a run longer than three yards and was sacked four times. Miller (754 yards passing, 441 yards rushing) will face his toughest test of the season against MSU’s defense.

Michigan State’s Andrew Maxwell’s transition from Kirk Cousins’ backup to starter has been a bit bumpy at times. He has completed only 52 percent of his passes and has thrown as many interceptions (3) as touchdown passes, but all of the interceptions came in the opener.

Maxwell has attempted more passes (143) than any Big Ten quarterback and ranks third in passing yards with 869.

Advantage: Ohio State

A contest for most consistent Ohio State receiver would produce a split vote. Corey Brown leads the team with 20 catches. Devin Smith (17 catches, 272 yards, 3 TDs) has mixed spectacular plays with quite a few drops. Jake Stoneburner caught touchdown passes in back-to-back games then didn’t have a catch last week.

An all-new group of receivers, along with a first-year quarterback, have led to some struggles in the passing game for MSU. Tight end Dion Sims (22 catches, 277 yards, 2 TDs) has been Maxwell’s No. 1 target.

Advantage: Even

OFFENSIVE LINE First-year right tackle Reid Fragel played the best game of his career against UAB, according to coach Urban Meyer. He says the line still has a long way to go to reach his goal of having the best offense in the Big Ten and in the country.

For MSU, which ranks 11th in the Big Ten in scoring, guard Chris McDonald was an honorable mention All-Big Ten selection last season.

Advantage: Ohio State

DEFENSIVE LINE OSU’s defense is giving up a respectable 17.2 points a game but has surrendered more yards (394.8) per game than anyone in the Big Ten. The defensive line has not shut down people as much as expected. Help could be on the way from Michael Bennett, who was expected to start before a groin injury sidelined him. He could return this week.

William Gholston, a second-team All-Big Ten selection last season, leads Michigan State.

Advantage: Even

LINEBACKERS Ryan Shazier (40 tackles) and Etienne Sabino (28 tackles) lead OSU in that category. They will be dealing with the first power runner they have seen so far this season in the 244-pound Bell.

Michigan State’s linebackers — Max Bullough, Denicos Allen and Chris Norman – combined for five sacks and 9.5 tackles for losses against the Buckeyes last season. MSU coach Mark Dantonio is looking for more pressure from his defense, which has only three sacks all season.

Advantage: Michigan State

DEFENSIVE BACKS JOHNATHAN HANKINS The 6-foot-3, 322-pound junior defensive lineman from Dearborn Heights, Mich. was a preseason All-American and was named to the Bednarik Award watch list. This season, he’s fourth on the team with 25 total tackles (10 solo), two tackles for loss and one sack.

RUNNING BACKS Jordan Hall’s second game back from a foot injury produced his first career 100-yard rushing game when he went for 105 yards in a 29-15 win over Alabama-Birmingham last week. Carlos Hyde could return after sitting out the last two games with a sprained knee. OSU is looking for more big plays from its backs, whose longest run this season is 16 yards.

MSU’s Le’Veon Bell (610 yards) leads the Big Ten in rushing yards after gaining 253 yards in a 23-7 win over Eastern Michigan last week.

Advantage: Michigan State

Barnett (ankle) are expected to return after missing last week’s game. Doran Grant might challenge for playing time after an interception and fumble recovery, filling in for Roby.

MSU cornerback Johnn Adams was first-team All-Big Ten last season, safety Isaiah Lewis was second team and cornerback Darqueze Dennard is a returning starter.

Advantage: Michigan State

SPECIAL TEAMS Drew Basil has made his only field goal attempt. Punter Ben Buchanan had a punt blocked last week on a play where a UAB defender went unblocked. Meyer says there might be too many freshmen on special teams.

Michigan State kicker Dan Conroy is 7 of 11 on field goals. Bell returns punts, which speaks either to his athleticism or a lack of a suitable alternative.

Not all 4-0 records are the same COLUMBUS — Maybe it wouldn’t hurt Ohio State fans to have an “It’s A Wonderful Life” moment occasionally.

In that 1940s classic movie, Jimmy Stewart’s character gets a chance to see how life might have been different for him and comes out the other side with a greater appreciation for what he has.

The expectations are so high at Ohio State that sometimes what OSU has — and what many other schools don’t have — gets overlooked. Only three Big Ten football teams have a 4-0 record at this point in the season — Ohio State, Minnesota and Northwestern.

Minnesota and Northwestern are thrilled with their unbeaten starts.

They’re probably beyond thrilled at Minnesota.

At Ohio State, Braxton Miller has provided the thrills. But the conversation around the state has been dominated by concerns the Buckeyes have just scraped by teams they should have overwhelmed and how a whole lot of things need to get better.

But it’s not just the wins OSU fans might need to stop and appreciate a little more. The game day experience is nothing like Ohio Stadium at many places around the Big Ten. You can find something very similar at Michigan, Wisconsin, Penn State, Nebraska, Iowa and Michigan State. You can’t find it everywhere, though.

Ablog by Mark Tupper, of the Decatur (Ill.) Herald-Review described how two hours, 45 minutes before the kickoff of Illinois’ game against Charleston Southern two weeks ago, there was only one car in the big-money donors parking lot next to the Illini’s stadium.

When the game did kick off, nearly half the seats in the stadium were empty.

At Minnesota, before the season began, athletic director Norwood Teague rode around campus giving away free tickets to students. And a video featuring quarterback Marqueis Gray was sent to every student to try to get more of them to go to football games. Indiana bundled men’s basketball student tickets with football tickets this year. If you wanted the highly prized hoops season tickets, you had to buy football season tickets, too.

Northwestern has gotten a 25 percent increase in attendance since 2009 after investing more money into marketing and promotions but still has played in front of 66 percent of capacity in its three home games this season.

Feeling a little better now, OSU fans?

Helping wildlife is her life’s work

BY KATHY LEESE Lou Ann Partington bottle fed lambs as a little girl in a space set up by her mother in the family's pantry and grew up around other animals. But little did she know she would grow up to care for God’s creatures as a volunteer in Tennessee.

Partington grew up in Sidney and graduated from Sidney High School in 1974, but she didn’t plan to become a wildlife rehabilitation specialist. She attended Kent State University, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in business administration with a concentration in industrial relations.

Partington now lives in Tullahoma, Tenn., and works at Peebles Department Store as a department manager.

Partington is the daughter of Larry and Mary Ann (Gifford) Partington, former Sidney residents, and the sister of Mark Partington, a 1976 Sidney High School graduate. Her grandparents were the late George and Ruth Gifford and Clem and Pauline Partington, all of Sidney. Her uncle, Bill Holder and cousin, Sherry Harlow, still reside in the area.

Moved to California After moving to California, Partington decided to do some volunteer work at WildCare in San Rafael, where she volunteered for almost 15 years.

“It was kind of a fluke that I got involved in wildlife rehabilitation,” she said. “The first day I volunteered, they sent some nestling song birds home with me since it was the beginning of the season and we were not yet open extended hours and I was hooked.

“They (WildCare) admitted nearly 4,000 animals every year, so I was fortunate enough to be able to work with many different species.”

Since the organization had volunteer veterinarians, Partington learned to do some basic splinting, suturing and blood work.

“For most of my time there, I specialized in songbirds, but also had the opportunity to provide foster, in-home care for bats and the first longtailed weasels we ever took in,” she said.

Wildlife center After moving to Tennessee in 2003, Partington volunteered with Walden’s Puddle,” a wildlife center located north of Nashville. In 2004, after working with another organization, she began accepting birds from the Chattanooga Zoo, and she continues to work with them. They provide some supplies and a small stipend, which helps with food and supplies for the birds.

Partington now works with Ziggy’s Tree Wildlife Rehabilitation Center as a volunteer, which was formed in 2005.

Partington hopes “to eventually secure enough funding to create seasonal paid positions, since it is difficult to work and keep up with the feeding schedules for our smallest patients,” she said, although Partington’s employer has allowed her to modify her hours to care for birds during the baby bird season.

Partington specializes in native species songbirds, but takes in other wildlife as well, including wrens, robins, mockingbirds, blue jays and house finches.

“My federal permit allows me to take in all species of birds, so I also receive several hawks, owls, herons and shore birds every year,” she said.

Because the larger hawks and owls require prerelease caging much larger than what she has, she networks with other rehab specialists for long-term care for larger birds.

“I really enjoy most of the birds I take in. If I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be killdeer. They are precocial birds, which means they can

“This is ... where you need to know I have a near-legendary fear of heights,” Partington said.

The birds were laysan albatrosses, the first Partington had ever seen. They were taken to International Bird Rescue, an organization that cares for sea birds.

Partington has been bitten, scratched and punctured.

“I always wear heavy gloves whenever I’m handling anything with big talons or sharp teeth,” but sometimes she is still injured. The worst was from a baby opossum. She was giving him a bath when a volunteer walked up to ask a question.

“The worst thing you can do when handling a wild animal is get distracted,” she said.

“The little guy came around and bit the end of my finger and went through my fingernail.”

She ended up in the emergency room with an infection and a red line running down her finger.

‘Bit by what?’

birds so a predator does not pick up a scent on the babies.

• Most mammals will return for their babies. “The adults simply do not easily abandon their young. That’s a trait that only we humans seem to have. The only exception seems to be opossums. If a baby falls out of the pouch, the mama opossum may not come back for it.”

• Squirrels usually have two nests. The mother will move the babies if she feels the first nest is threatened. If a baby falls out of the nest and is not injured, leave it under the tree for an hour or so and see if the mother comes back for it. If she’s alive, most of the time, she will come back for it.

• Rabbits and deer do not necessarily stay near their young. A mother cottontail comes back usually once or twice during the night to feed the babies, sneaking in food to avoid predators.

• A fawn has no scent until after it is two weeks old, so the mother will leave it in what she believes is a safe place while she forages nearby. “A fawn curled up under the shrubs is probably not abandoned or orphaned. It is ... behaving like its mother told it to," Partington said.

• If baby birds are plump and healthy with bright, shiny eyes, they are likely being cared for.
