Benjamin Moore rolls out Color Care Volunteers to transform JC veteran’s home JACKSON CENTER — They’ve paid a high price in serving our country, and now Benjamin Moore is paying tribute to them in a unique and colorful way. The 129-year-old American paint manufacturer is going state-to-state to provide color paint makeovers for the homes of wounded servicemen and women, hoping, in turn, it will have an uplifting impact on these American heroes and their families. The Benjamin Moore Color Care Across America initiative gets underway Wednesday, starting in Jackson Center with plans to
complete a home in each state plus DC within the coming year. The home of former Army Spc. Kevin Paul Sauriol, who served in Iraq, has been chosen to receive the color tribute. The painting is scheduled to be completed by Friday and a brief press conference will be held at 11 a.m. that day at the home, 306 W. Pike St., with many of those who’ve contributed to the project attending. Color Care originated last year, also providing 51 Benjamin Moore color paint makeovers—but to emergency
shelters coast-to-coast. Joining the company again for this year’s edition are skilled professionals from the Painting & Decorating Contractors of America (PDCA), and representing them in Jackson Center will be a crew from Turman Commercial Painters out of Gahanna. They’ll be leading the drive to pick up the rollers and brushes for this unprecedented cause. “Experts have estimated that more than half of the 1.3 million returning military from the frontlines of Afghanistan and Iraq have some type of injury,” said Carl
Minchew, a Benjamin Moore director. “These are sobering statistics that led us to extend Benjamin Moore Color Care to our returning troops. For so many, the daily challenges they now face are a whole new kind of battleground. So, we are compelled to help brighten their lives and bring the healing and heartening power of color to them with this program.” The makeover includes a personal color consultation with Benjamin Moore’s senior interior designer Sonu Mathew, who helped Sauriol See COLOR/Page 3

Twenty teams and 150 people participated in Saturday’s 2012 Walk to End Alzheimer’s on the streets of downtown Sidney. Lu Ann Presser, of Sidney, co-chair of this year’s event, said Sunday committee members believe this year’s $13,500 goal was met, exceeding the $12,600 raised last year by 13 teams. The money helps provide services in Shelby County. “We won’t have an exact total for some time since some teams are still collecting funds and money will be coming in until next month,� Presser said. “And Saturday’s amount hasn’t yet been tabulated.� She said this year’s walk included a 3-weekold infant and her mother as well as a 97year-old resident of Fair
Haven Shelby County Home. One family had 20 members walking. Members of Anna High School’s Family, Career and Community Leaders of America chapter participated and a Safe Haven team also participated. Some walkers to support the cure for Alzheimer’s completed the entire two-mile walk, while others walked the downtown courtsquare. The course began and ended at the Senior Center on West Avenue. There were also single walkers for the cause. “You walk what you feel you can walk,� Presser explained. Teams followed a new route this year.

and his fiance, Joy Marie Klopfenstein, navigate the daunting task of selecting colors for walls, ceilings and trims that will complement one another plus coordinate with furnishings, upholstery and other household décor. With the colors decided, Columbus-based Creative Paints, an authorized Benjamin Moore retailer, will do the mixing and deliver the paint to the site. All told, it’s estimated that Benjamin Moore will be donating close to 3,000 gallons for the 2012 Color Care program. According to Richard Greene, CEO of the PDCA, association members typically are among the first to volunteer for community projects. “We were proud to be part of Benjamin Moore’s Color Care in 2011 when it provided color makeovers for emergency shelters coast-to-coast,” said Greene. “This year, our painting professionals fully endorse extending this program to armed services families since many themselves have a legacy of service in their past. We know what we’re offering is small thanks, but it’s the least we can do to acknowledge how much we appreciate that they put their lives on the line.” To track the progress of Color Care Across America, visit http://www.facebook.com /benjaminmoorepaints.

CINCINNATI (AP) — An officer who fatally shot a woman armed with a knife while responding to a domestic disturbance at an apartment complex in southwest Ohio was faced with an immediate threat to his life, the Cincinnati police chief said Sunday. Chief James Craig told reporters at a news conference on Sunday that the investigation
into the shooting is continuing, but that his initial opinion is that Officer Matthew Latzy was justified in the shooting. Erica Collins, 26, of Cincinnati, was shot twice Saturday afternoon as she approached the officer with a butcher knife outside her apartment complex, police spokeswoman Lt. Kimberly Williams said. She died at the scene.

The pair were feted in Olympia after their successful ascent. • The great American naturalist John Muir climbed Mount Rainier in 1888. He later wrote about his climb: "The view we enjoyed from the summit could hardly be surpassed in sublimity and grandeur; but one feels far from home so high in the sky, so much so that one is inclined to guess that, apart from the acquisition of knowledge and the exhilaration of climbing, more pleasure is to be found at the foot of the mountains than on their tops. Doubly happy, however, is the man to whom lofty mountain tops are within reach, for the lights that shine there illumine all that lies below."

OUT OF THE BLUE
Endeavour’s final stop LOS ANGELES (AP) — It was supposed to be a slow but smooth journey to retirement, a parade through city streets for a shuttle that logged millions of miles in space. But Endeavour’s final mission turned out to be a logistical headache that delayed its arrival to its museum resting place by about 17 hours. After a 12-mile weave past trees and utility poles that included thousands of adoring onlookers, flashing cameras and even the filming of a TV commercial, Endeavour arrived at the California Science Center Sunday to a greeting party of city leaders and other dignitaries that had expected it many hours earlier. Endeavour was still inching toward a hangar on the grounds of the museum mid-Sunday afternoon.

Specter dies as Congress at its most polarized BY MARC LEVY Associated Press HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Arlen Specter, who spent much of his 30-year career in the U.S. Senate warning of the dangers of political intolerance, is remembered as one of ConSpecter gress’ bestknown moderates and was a member of both major parties during his career. Now, two years after he was voted out of office, his death coincides with a finding by political scientists that Congress is more polarized than at any point since Reconstruction. Specter, who died Sunday, even began a short-lived run for president in 1995 on a platform that warned his fellow Republicans of the “intolerant right.” He lost his job after crossing political party lines to make the toughest vote he had ever cast in his career when, in 2009, he became one of three Republicans to vote for President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus bill. Republican fury drove Specter to the Democratic Party, where he lost the 2010 primary. Former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge, who served six terms in the U.S. House and as President George W. Bush’s first Homeland Security secretary, said he thinks a serious third party could emerge on the national stage in 2016 without bipartisan agreement
on major issues including the debt and immigration. “I think the American public is fed up with the inability of both parties to find common ground,” Ridge said Sunday. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., who served four years with Specter, said Sunday that he believes moderates can still bring people together. “It’s not going to happen naturally or by accident,” Casey said. “We have to work at it. … Each individual member of Congress has to take on personal responsibility. … He has to keep the poison out of the water to avoid the kind of demonization that happens when people debate issues.” Specter, Casey said, was one of those people who could disagree without demonizing. The other two Republicans who supported Obama’s stimulus are Maine’s two U.S. senators. One of them, Olympia Snowe, announced in February that she wasn’t seeking re-election. She said she was frustrated by “‘my way or the highway’ ideologies.” In one study of congressional polarization, University of Georgia professor of political science Keith Poole mapped the political polarization of Congress by charting votes and found that the parties are more divided than at any time since Reconstruction after drifting further apart in the last 40 years. In one essay, Poole said there are no true moderates left in the House of Representatives, and just a handful remaining in the Senate, in contrast to the Reagan era when about half of the members of Congress could be described as moderates.
Expect small 2013 Social Security benefit increase WASHINGTON (AP) — Social Security recipients shouldn’t expect a big increase in monthly benefits come January. Preliminary figures show the annual benefit boost will be between 1 percent and 2 percent, which would be among the lowest since automatic adjustments were adopted in 1975. Monthly benefits for retired workers now average $1,237, meaning the typical retiree can expect a raise of between $12 and $24 a month. The size of the increase will be made official Tuesday, when the government releases inflation figures for September. The announcement is unlikely to please a big group of voters — 56 million people get benefits — just three weeks before elections for president and Congress. The cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, is tied to a government measure of inflation adopted by Congress in the 1970s. It shows that consumer prices have gone up by less than 2 percent in the past year. “Basically, for the past 12 months, prices did not go up as rapidly as they did the year before,” said Polina Vlasenko, an economist at the American Institute for Economic Research, based in Great Barrington, Mass. This year, Social Security recipients received a 3.6 percent increase in benefits after getting no increase the previous two years. Some of next year’s raise could be wiped out by higher Medicare premiums, which are deducted from Social Security payments. The Medicare Part B premium, which covers doctor visits, is expected to rise by about $7 per month for 2013, according to government projections. The premium is currently $99.90 a month for most seniors. Medicare is expected to announce the premium for 2013 in the coming weeks.

THIS IMAGE provided by Red Bull Stratos shows pilot Felix Baumgartner, of Austria, as he jumps out of the capsule during the final manned flight for Red Bull Stratos on Sunday.

Skydiver breaks sound barrier in record jump BY JUAN CARLOS LLORCA Associated Press ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) — In a giant leap from more than 24 miles up, a daredevil skydiver shattered the sound barrier Sunday while making the highest jump ever — a tumbling, death-defying plunge from a balloon to a safe landing in the New Mexico desert. Felix Baumgartner hit Mach 1.24, or 833.9 mph, according to preliminary data, and became the first man to reach supersonic speed without traveling in a jet or a spacecraft after hopping out of a capsule that had reached an altitude of 128,100 feet above the Earth. Landing on his feet in the desert, the man known as “Fearless Felix” lifted his arms in victory to the cheers of jubilant onlookers and friends. “When I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble, you do not think about breaking records anymore, you do not think about gaining scientific data,” he said after the jump. “The only thing you want is to come back alive.” A worldwide audience watched live on the Internet via cameras mounted on his capsule as Baumgartner, wearing a pressurized suit, stood in the doorway of his capsule, gave a thumbs-up and leapt into the stratosphere. “Sometimes we have to get really high to see how small we are,” an exuberant Baumgartner told reporters outside mission control after the jump. Baumgartner’s descent lasted for just over nine minutes, about half of it in a free fall of 119,846 feet, according to Brian Utley, a jump observer from the International Federation of Sports Aviation. He said the speed calculations were preliminary figures. Baumgartner said traveling faster than sound is “hard to describe because you don’t feel it.” With no reference points, “you don’t know how fast you travel,” he said. The 43-year-old former Aus-
DEBATE hall-style debate at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., exactly three weeks before the Nov. 6 election. Romney’s advisers suggested the Republican nominee would continue to moderate his message — in tone, if not substance — as he did in the Oct. 3 meeting to help broaden his appeal to the narrow slice of undecided voters. In recent days, Romney has promised his tax plan would not benefit the wealthy, emphasized his work with Democrats as Massachusetts governor and downplayed plans to strengthen the nation’s abortion laws. He told an Iowa newspaper this week, for example, that he would not pursue abortion-related legislation if elected. That’s in direct conflict with last year’s pledge to the anti-abortion group, the Susan B. Anthony List, to cut federal funding from Planned Parenthood and support legislation to “protect unborn children who are capable of feeling pain from abortion.”

IN THIS photo provided by Red Bull Stratos, pilot Felix Baumgartner, of Austria, celebrates after successfully completing the final manned flight for Red Bull Stratos in Roswell, N.M., Sunday. trian paratrooper with more than 2,500 jumps behind him had taken off early Sunday in a capsule carried by a 55-story ultra-thin helium balloon. His ascent that was tense at times and included concerns about how well his facial shield was working. Any contact with the capsule on his exit could have torn his suit, a rip that could expose him to a lack of oxygen and temperatures as low as minus70 degrees. That could have caused lethal bubbles to form in his bodily fluids. But none of that happened. He activated his parachute as he neared Earth, gently gliding into the desert east of Roswell and landing without any apparent difficulty. The images triggered another loud cheer from onlookers at mission control, among them his mother, Eva Baumgartner, who was overcome with emotion, crying. He then was taken by helicopter to meet fellow members of his team, whom he hugged in celebration. Coincidentally, Baumgartner’s feat came on the 65th anniversary of the day that U.S. test pilot Chuck Yeager became the first man to officially break the sound barrier in a jet.
From Page 1 “I think Mitt Romney’s performance was, indeed, magical and theatrical. Magical and theatrical largely because for 90 minutes he walked away from a campaign he had been running for more than six years previous to that,” Obama senior campaign adviser Robert Gibbs said of the first debate. While the debates have proved critical, they are one element in larger campaigns that involve extensive ground games in virtually every state across the nation and a television ad war that may consume $1 billion before Election Day. Through Monday, either absentee or in-person early voting has begun in 43 states. Romney on Sunday released a new television spot showcasing footage from running mate Paul Ryan’s first and only face off with Vice President Joe Biden last week. The ad features clips of Ryan saying the government “can’t keep spending money we don’t have.” The comments are juxtaposed with
video from the debate of Biden laughing. Aides said the president was cleareyed about the need to have a better showing in the second meeting. After a listless first performance, Obama was focused on delivering more pointed and aggressive responses. He was ensconced in hours of debate practice Sunday at Kingsmill Resort, a luxury vacation spot in Williamsburg, Va. The president was shuttling between a house on the campus where he is staying and the resort’s main building, where aides are set up for debate practice. The campaign picked the riverfront Virginia resort in part to get the president away from distractions at the White House. Some of Obama’s official duties, including the attack in Libya that led to the death of four Americans, forced the president to cancel or cut short some of his prep sessions ahead of the first debate, and aides acknowledge he entered the first face-off with less practice than they had hoped.

Gateway Arts Council will open its 25th season of presentations with the national tour of “Fiddler on the Roof ” Nov. 4 at 7 p.m. at the Sidney High School Auditorium. The classic musical, based on the stories of Sholom Aleichem, has captured the hearts of people all over the world with its humor, warmth and honesty. The universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness. The story concerns Tevye, a poor milkman who is trying to keep his family’s traditions in place. Yet, times are changing. And when Tevye’s daughters want to make their own matches, he must choose between his own daughters’ happiness and those beloved traditions that keep the outside world at bay. Yet it is Tevye’s love of his family, pride and faith that help him face the dangerous forces in Anatevka which threaten to destroy the very life he and his fellow villagers are trying to preserve. Jimmy Ferraro will portray Tevye. A native New Yorker, Ferraro received early recognition when he starred at New York’s Top Hat Nightclub followed by com-

Critics want Ohio watchdog’s ‘Coingate’ report BY JULIE CARR SMYTH Associated Press
REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney campaigns at The Golden Lamb restaurant in Lebanon Saturday.
Romney seeks Ohio votes in Saturday rallies PORTSMOUTH (AP) — Republicans Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan went back to school on Saturday to rally college students in all corners of all-important Ohio and hammer at President Barack Obama for going easy on China over unfair trade practices. Obama took precious time off the campaign trail to practice for the next debate against his GOP rival. It was an unspoken acknowledgment of the importance that Obama attaches to upping his game in Debate No.2 that the president is largely dropping out of sight for five straight days in the final weeks of the race to prepare for Tuesday’s encounter in Hempstead, N .Y. Even while cloistered for debate prep at a resort in sprawling Williamsburg, Va., though, the president didn’t completely cede the spotlight to Romney. His weekly radio and Internet address highlighted the Obama administration’s work to revive the U.S. auto industry — a message aimed squarely at working-class voters in manufacturing-heavy states like Ohio. Romney, for his part, told a crowd of more than 3,000 people at Shawnee State University in Portsmouth that Obama was ducking an important decision on whether China is manipulating its
currency to gain a trade advantage. A decision was due on Monday, but the Treasury Department said Friday the decision won’t come until after global finance officials meet in early November. That means a decision is unlikely before the Nov. 6 election. “It’s time for us to stand up to China for their cheating,” Romney declared. “It’s got to stop.” Romney framed the issue squarely as a matter of jobs, saying cheap Chinese products were driving American companies out of business. “We’ve got to get those jobs back and make trade to be fair,” Romney declared. Ryan, too, criticized the administration for failing to hold China accountable for its trade practices. During a morning appearance in northeastern Ohio at Youngstown State University, he told a crowd of about 1,400 that his hometown of Janesville, Wis., was much like theirs — a “blue-collar, factory town” where the struggles of the auto industry hit home hard. Ryan said the president had led the country toward a higher national debt, steeper taxes and insufficient job growth. “We can’t keep going down this path,” he said. “We can’t keep accepting this is the new normal.” The Wisconsin congressman then hopscotched to Bowling Green State University,
in the northwestern part of the state, where he grabbed a bratwurst with mustard at the college Republicans’ tailgate party before the school’s football team took on his mater, Miami alma (Ohio) University. The Obama campaign dismissed the Republicans’ tough talk on China as nothing more than talk. “Mitt Romney will never crack down on China’s cheating — just look at his record,” Obama campaign spokesman Danny Kanner said in a statement. He said Romney had opposed Obama administration efforts to impose tariffs on Chinese-made tires and had invested in companies that shipped American jobs to China. Obama’s campaign upped its celebrity quotient as the two sides claw for any advantage in a tight race: Actor Morgan Freeman’s commanding voice narrates a new ad telling voters that Obama has met the nation’s challenges and “the last thing we should do is turn back now.” On Thursday, Bruce Springsteen will team up with former President Bill Clinton to rally Obama voters in Parma, Ohio, in what will be the singer’s first political appearance this campaign. “The Boss” plans a second event Thursday, in Ames, Iowa. Springsteen campaigned for Obama in 2008, too.
Ohio “Calamityville” center gets $500,000 contract DAYTON (AP) — An Ohio school in southwest Ohio has landed a $500,000 U.S. Air Force contract to help with research and training for emergency, disaster and humanitarian responses. The funds will go to the Wright State University Research Institute and National Center for Medical Readiness, for use at what’s called “Calamityville.”
The Calamityville Tactical Laboratory site opened last year to prepare civilian and military medical communities and first responders. The Dayton Daily News reports that the new research effort will assess Calamityville as a place for testing and experimentation for new technologies and other rehearsal and training. The contract comes
through an Air Force program at nearby Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. ___ Information from: Dayton Daily News, http://www.daytondailynews.com

WISE, Va. (AP) — Friends, families and business operators who depend on coal mining showed solidarity by lining up along highways in Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia and Ohio. Groups in the hundreds gathered Saturday along U.S. Highway 23 in southwest Virginia as part of the United for Coal demonstration. Wearing yellow shirts, hard hats and other coal-related items, supporters stood along the highway for about an hour as cars drove by honking their horns. Supporters were set to gather in Pikeville, Ky., following the demonstration. The grass-roots effort is aimed at showing support of the thousands of miners have been laid off across the region this year. It’s also intended to send a message that coal country is a political force to be reckoned with. ___ Online: United for Coal: http://www.unitedforcoal.com/

COLUMBUS (AP) — The state says movies, TV shows and commercials shot in Ohio since 2010 have contributed more than $205 million to Ohio’s economy and employed more than 19,000 Ohioans with the help of tax credits. The Ohio Film Office says it provided more than $52 million in credits to the 44 productions. The credits are aimed at boosting Ohio in the competition among states to lure shoots. Local communities also benefit economically from the productions that often employ hundreds of Ohioans. Films to be shot in northeast Ohio include “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” in Cleveland and “Underdogs” in Canton. “Crooked Tree” will be filmed in southeast Ohio’s Hocking Hills. “The Tribunal” and “The Do Over” are slated for Dayton in southwest Ohio. “In Other Words” will be shot in Columbus.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s state watchdog hasn’t yet released an investigative report on the investment scandal that engulfed Ohio in 2005 — and critics want to know why. With the presidential election only weeks away, the nonprofit government watchdog group Common Cause Ohio is asking Ohio Inspector General Randall Meyer to explain the delay and questioning whether it might be politically motivated. Meyer was facing a threatened lawsuit by the nonprofit group when he pledged in February to complete the report left unissued by his predecessor. The legal threat raised the possibility that the wide-ranging Republican scandal dubbed “Coingate” could reemerge as a campaign issue in a key battleground state. The Coingate scandal began with the 2005 revelation that the Ohio Bureau of Worker’s Compensation was investing $50 million in rare coins through Republican donor Tom Noe. Noe is now serving 18 years in prison for theft and other crimes. Common Cause, which says it works to hold government accountable to the public interest, dropped the lawsuit threat after Meyer’s February announcement. But it now wants him to ease the group’s concerns. Common Cause Ohio Chairman Sam Gresham wrote in a Tuesday letter that due to the timing of the presidential contest and “because additional prominent Republicans have been ru-
mored to be implicated in the scandal,” the organization believes an explanation is necessary “to prevent charges that the report has been withheld for political purposes.” Meyer spokesman Carl Enslen reiterated that no timetable has been set for completing the report, but he said the office recognizes its significance. The investigative work in the case was completed before Republican Gov. John Kasich appointed Meyer in January 2011. Meyer’s predecessor, Tom Charles, said before he switched jobs that the legally-required report was coming. The 2005 scandal reached the highest levels of state government, resulting in 19 convictions — including then-Gov. Bob Taft’s no contest plea to ethics charges for failing to report golf outings and other gifts on his disclosure forms. Democrats won four of five statewide offices in the November 2006 election — including the governor’s office — in the wake of the scandal. Ohio Democratic Chairman Chris Redfern also is pushing for release of a final report. He said he still believes that Democrat John Kerry might have won Ohio — and the presidency — in 2004, had Noe’s actions as a fundraiser for then-President George W. Bush come to light more quickly. “I think the tentacles of this scandal go much deeper, much wider than anybody knows,” Redfern said. “Yet this inspector general would rather chase after (state natural resources) employees who are selling excess propane than he would go after the biggest political scandal of this generation.”

SWCD helps farmers meet today’s challenges

DAIRY STEERS feed as members and guest of the Shelby County Cattlemen’s Association tour Randy and Tony Bensman’s cattle facility at the 2012 Cattlemen’s Roundup.
Cattlemen hold roundup The Shelby County Cattlemen’s Association (SCCA) held its annual Fall Roundup Sept. 4. The event was held at Tony and Randy Bensman’s dairy beef facility in Sidney. The event began with a facility tour given by the Bensmans. The familyoperated farm houses about 600 head of cattle, ranging from 300 to 1,400 pounds, on the 1,100-acre farm. Each year they produce about 600 head of cattle. The pair feed hominy, DDG, hay, corn silage, and corn to the cattle, which are stabled in 30,000 square feet of barn. After the tour, guests were treated to a ribeye sandwich dinner provided by the SCCA. The group’s leaders grilled and served the steaks, along with plenty of sides, in the Bensmans’ toolshed. Attendees, some coming from as far as Kentucky, were treated to freshly-grilled steaks, potato salad, cookies, homegrown tomatoes, and plenty of ice-cold beer and soda. As dinner was finished, SCCA President Andy Bornhorst welcomed the crowd of about 60 people to the event. Special thanks were given to the Bensman family for hosting the event. Bornhorst then turned the program over to John Leighty, of Trupointe, to begin the presentations. Leighty began by discussing the corn market, which has continued to rise due to high oil costs, high demand, and the threat of a reduced crop this year due to widespread drought. Also affecting corn prices is the demand for ethanol, which is used to power many manufacturing facilities. John then moved on to briefly discuss other grain markets. Soybean prices, at the time of the Roundup were reaching $17 per bushel. Continuing the presentation was Pat Lampert of Nexus Marketing. Despite the high price of corn, Lampert stated that the cattle market remains optimistic at this point. However, he
did mention that this year’s calf crop was the shortest on record (dating to the 1950s). Currently affecting the cattle market are world markets including oil prices. Pat also mentioned that despite the rising cost of beef, demand for the product has not lessoned. The final speaker was Sam Sutherly, president of the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association (OCA). Sam started his presentation by thanking the SCCA for the opportunity to present the current issues facing the OCA and cattlemen throughout the state. Most notably is the upcoming statewide vote to raise the Beef Checkoff amount from $1 to $2. Sutherly stressed that the additional dollar added to the checkoff amount, should it be voted in, would be kept entirely in Ohio and would fund the promotion of beef with education, outreach, and marketing. Programs that the additional dollar would benefit include work at Ohio food banks, inner city schools, and promotions at well-attended events like Columbus Clippers baseball games. The evening wrapped up with Bornhorst thanking all those who attended, spoke, and hosted the Roundup. He mentioned that the next regular meeting of the SCCA will be held Nov. 13 at 7:30 p.m. at Al’s Place in Fort Loramie. Free pizza will be served after the meeting. Additionally, guests were reminded to mark their calendars for the Annual Prime Rib Dinner and Banquet to be held on Feb. 12. The SCCA would like to send thanks out to all of those who made the 2012 SCCA Fall Roundup a success. Specifically, special thanks go to the Bensman family for being great hosts, to John, Pat and Sam for their engaging presentations, and to all the folks who attended the event.

Have you ever wondered how to acquire a green thumb? Now is the time to sign up for an experience that will give you a life time of natural beauty. Shelby County Master Gardeners are a group of dedicated volunteers who assist the Shelby County OSU Extension office. After 48 hours of instruction conducted by OSU certified staff and 50 hours of community service, we earn our status as Master Gardeners. Each year, Master Gardeners are required to volunteer their time in three of sev-
eral categories for a total of 10 hours of service and to attend six hours of continuing education. Master Gardeners are available for giving talks at organizations on about any type of gardening topic. The Master Gardeners are available on the hotline to answer questions from residents from May through September concerning inquiries about trees, vegetables, flowers, plan diseases, and insects. MG, also, maintain the garden at the Shelby County Agricultural Service as well as one of the beauty areas at the Shelby County Fairgrounds.

amount of phosphorus and nitrogen that is applied to their fields and yards in an effort to reduce potential runoff and erosion that may negatively impact Ohio’s water quality. For farmers, this means implementing the 4R principles (the four “rights” in nutrient stewardship) — the right fertilizer source, right rate, right time and right placement. The 4Rs are based on scientific principles, and farmers can work with local SWCD’s to build a customized 4R management plan for their farming operations. For nonfarmers, this means implementing Backyard Conservation practices, assistance can also be provided by local SWCD’s. A couple of reminders, Shelby Soil and Water Conservation District will be once again sponsoring the Forestry Field Day Sunday at the Dennis Ziegenbusch Farm at 5582 State Route 705, Fort Loramie, from 1 to 4.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a lovely, fun-filled day at work. Expect the support of others. You might want to do something to make your workplace more attractive. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’re throwing caution to the wind today because you want to have a good time. (No doubt, many of you will go overboard spending money to do so.) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Many of you will indulge in something quite wonderful for home and family today. You might bring home beautiful furniture or gifts for loved ones. (Someone will be happy.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’ll enjoy talking to others today, especially siblings and relatives, because you’re in an upbeat, friendly mood. You’re in the zone! LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Business and commerce are favored today. The only downside is you might go overboard or something could look better than it is. Nevertheless, things do look good. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You feel friendly and socially charming today because fair Venus is in your sign getting a boost from lucky Jupiter. Enjoy schmoozing, but don’t try to be all things to all people. (It’s impossible.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You feel very pleased with yourself today. (This is good.) This is also a good day for behind-the-scenes deals or working quietly on something. You might do a good turn for someone else. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Relations with others, especially in group situations, will be particularly positive today. You easily will convince others to go along with what you want. Join forces with someone to get the best results. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Relations with authority figures are good today; in fact, you might develop a crush on your boss. Some of you will be asked to give your creative input on something — design, layout, colors, whatever. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Grab any chance to travel today, because you’ll love it. This is also an excellent day for publishing, higher education, the law, the media and medicine. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) People are good to you today. Keep your pockets open and accept whatever comes your way. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Relations with partners and close friends are warm and pleasant today. Get out and schmooze; you will enjoy the company of others, and vice versa. YOU BORN TODAY You are observant and often make pronouncements about society around you. You are a lovely combination of earthy commonsense and playful imagination. You are genuine and authentic, and you always walk your talk. Privately, you often are eccentric. Justice and fairness are important to you. Work hard to build or construct something this year, because your rewards soon will follow.

Whether the vaccine prevents those cancers remains to be seen. Genital warts result from other strains of this virus. The vaccine Gardasil also offers protection against two of the strains that are responsible for a large proportion of genital warts. The HPV story is a complicated one. Most infections, both from the wart strains and cancer strains, clear without treatment within two years of infection. However, when you consider that 11,000 cases of cervical cancer arise yearly, you can appreciate the value of this vaccine.Vaccines have contributed more to public

ANSWER: Coconut oil has a high concentration of saturated fat. Saturated fat is a factor in raising cholesterol and clogging arteries. However, the effect of coconut oil in those regards isn’t as bad as was once believed. Coconut oil also contains medium chain triglycerides.They’ve been suggested as a preventative for Alzheimer’s disease with its loss of memory. Personally, I would wait until there is more evidence that coconut oil wards off Alzheimer’s disease before using it on a regular basis.

From the beginning I knew my fiance and I would have to pay for our own wedding. During a recent discussion with my father (who is divorced from my mother), he offered to chip in a reasonable amount and asked me to see if my mother would match it. My mother thought it was a great idea and agreed. A week or so later she wrote me a check for the amount and I deposited it into my savings account. At the time, I had a high-paying job and a “roundabout” wedding date set. I have since left my job and the wedding

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. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

No longer winless Browns end 11-game losing streak against rival Bengals BY TOM WITHERS The Associated Press CLEVELAND (AP) — Phil Dawson wasn’t entirely convinced the Browns’ agonizing losing streak had ended. But once the longtime kicker stepped inside Cleveland’s jubilant locker room there was no doubt. As players hugged in celebration, incoming owner Jimmy Haslam III beamed while shaking hands with many players who had never felt the joy of winning an NFL game. Dawson remembered the feeling. Nearly one year later, the Browns had won again. “It was fun to see guys jumping around and happy,” said the 37-year-old Dawson, who has been with the Browns since 1999. “They never had that feeling before and it was great to see.” Rookie Brandon Weeden threw two touchdown passes on his 29th birthday, cornerback Joe Haden sparked Cleveland’s defense with his return from a suspension, and the Browns, competitive but winless through five games, snapped an 11-game losing streak going back to last November by beating the Cincinnati Bengals 34-24 on Sunday. Cleveland had not won since Nov. 20, matching a fran-

able to put together a complete game under Shurmur. There were still some major flaws, but one of the NFL’s youngest teams did some growing up and took some of the pressure off Shurmur, who needed a win to impress Haslam, the truck-stop magnate and a former minority owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers. With the Browns leading 27-17 after Weeden’s 3-yard TD pass to Benjamin Watson, Brown stepped in front of Brandon Tate and felt the ball thud into this stomach. He ran it all the way back as Cleveland fans, whose patience has been pushed to the limit with years of losing, rocked Browns Stadium as it hadn’t been in years. “We got our stadium back today,” Hardesty said. “It was great. The crowd was going crazy. Now we have to build on that feeling.” The loss was the Bengals’ fourth in the last 17 games against the Browns. “We have got to play better,” Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. “We’ve got to fix it. Obviously we are not playing consistently enough for the ability of the guys that we have. We’re almost too nice at times and we’ve got to have more of a killer instinct.”
Boren’s move to linebacker not a one-game thing BY JIM NAVEAU Civitas Media jnaveau@limanews.com COLUMBUS — Ohio State’s Zach Boren played linebacker for the first time since high school during OSU’s 52-49 win over Indiana on Saturday night, but it might not be the last time. Injuries that severely depleted Ohio State’s linebacking corps resulted in Boren, OSU’s starting fullback the last four seasons, being moved to inside linebacker. He responded by leading the team in tackles with eight. When Boren was asked if he was now a full-time linebacker or if he would be returning to fullback, he said, “I don’t know. That’s a question for Coach Meyer.” Meyer’s answer when asked if this was just a one-game thing was, “I don’t think it is.” Meyer first approached Boren about switching to defense last Tuesday when he got the injury report on Ohio State’s linebackers but didn’t decide to make the move until after Wednesday’s practice. “Tuesday’s practice, (Ryan) Shazier was out, (Etienne) Sabino was out, Cam Williams was out, Josh Perry was out. I’m not a math major but you’re starting to get real thin,” Meyer said. Sabino suffering a broken leg in the Nebraska game that will keep him out several weeks was the big factor behind moving a four-year starter to defense. “I had that horrible gut feeling that we had to get a veteran guy and get some experience over there to help us out,” Meyer said. “He (Boren) jumped right at it and really kind of changed practice Tuesday with his energy. He’s a real all for one and one for all type of guy. It was a very unselfish move by him.” Boren, who had carried the ball only once in his first three seasons, had 11 carries for 33 yards and two touchdowns in Ohio State’s first six games. He said he spent much of last week working with co-defensive coordinator Luke Fickell. “I’ve been staying at the Woody (the Woody Hayes Center) until 9 o’clock at night and coming in early before practice trying to learn the defense,” he said. While Boren thought he could have played better in his first game on defense, his teammates were impressed. “I thought Zach did a heck of a job,” center Corey Linsley said. “Zach was disappointed in himself just because of the high expectations he has of himself. I thought he played pretty well. I thought he did a hell of a job his first day at linebacker.”

INDIANA SAFETY Alexander Webb (27) tries to pull down Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller (5) during the second half of an NCAA college football game in Bloomington, Ind., Saturday. Ohio State won 52-49.
OSU defensive issues show up big time in win over Indiana BY JIM NAVEAU Civitas Media jnaveau@limanews.com COLUMBUS – A week ago, Ohio State’s football players talked about how much they enjoyed the victory dinner on Sunday night when they and the team’s coaches looked back at a big win over Nebraska. It’s a good bet this week’s dinner was a bit more subdued after OSU barely escaped with a 52-49 win over Indiana on Saturday night and had its defensive weaknesses made clear as day under the lights at IU’s Me-
morial Stadium. Ohio State (7-0, 3-0 Big Ten) had to handle an onside kick to close out its win over Indiana after surrendering two touchdowns in the final 1:40 of the game. OSU had led by more than 10 points most of the second half until that point, but its defense had hardly been stellar. The Buckeyes rolled up 578 yards of offense but surrendered 481 to Indiana. The Hoosiers’ 49 points were the most allowed by an Ohio State defense since Penn State beat the Buckeyes 63-14 in 1994.
“We’re not very good in some areas now and you’re exposed,” OSU coach Urban Meyer said after Saturday night’s game. “Spread offenses are really exposing us now. We’ve got to get something fixed. “I’m not sure what my feeling is right now other than to get back home and get to work. I wish we were in the office right now because we have to get some things right,” he said. Cornerback Bradley Roby said the game was “way closer than it should have been.” See BUCKEYES/Page 19
Win puts Clint Bowyer back in championship hunt BY JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — One of these days, Clint Bowyer might have enough gas in his tank to do a celebratory burnout.
Until then, he’s just fine walking to Victory Lane. Bowyer and crew chief Brian Pattie stretched a final tank of fuel to the finish for a win at Charlotte Motor Speedway that pushed the Michael Waltrip Racing team back into
the championship picture. It was its third win of the season, and Bowyer has run out of gas after taking the checkered flag all three times. “It’s fun to walk to Victory Lane, that’s the best walk you could ever have,” he said after
Saturday night’s win. “I think that’s my new trademark. I’ll walk home if it means Victory Lane.” Bowyer didn’t expect to be in this position at this time last year, when talks on a contract extension broke down with
Richard Childress Racing. Neither did Pattie, who was stuck at home unable to work because he had been fired as Juan Pablo Montoya’s crew chief but was still under contract to the race team. See WIN/Page 19

Lehman battles with Piqua, loses 2-1 BY ROB KISER Civitas Media rkiser@dailycall.com PIQUA — An exciting 2-1 win over the Lehman Catholic girls soccer team Saturday at Wertz Stadium could be exactly what Piqua needed heading into tournament play. The Lady Indians improved to 7-9 heading into Tuesday’s 7 p.m. Division I game at Fairborn, while Lehman lost for the just the second time all year and will take a 14-2-0 record into Saturday’s 2 p.m. D-III sectional game at home withBotkins. Both coaches saw it as a positive way to go into the into the tournament — and agreed that one of the biggest difference makers was Piqua goalie Layne Patrizio, who recorded 19 saves and frustrated the Lady Cavaliers all morning long. “She had a great game,” Lehman coach Tony Schroeder said. “The girl had 19 saves. That is by far the most saves anyone has had on us this year. She played great.” He would get no argument from Piqua coach Karen Horvatch on her first-year goalie. “Layne has just blossomed as the season has gone on,” Horvath said.
“She has come so far. There have been a number of games where she has saved us and this was one of them.” The game started with Lehman spending most of the time on offense — a pattern that would continue — but not being able to score. Lehman finished the game with 34 shots to Piqua’s 12. “Their goalie (Layne Patrizio) played great,” Schroeder said. “But, when you have 34 shots, you have to score more than one goal. It was a good game to have before tournament. We played well — we just didn’t finish (on scoring opportunities).” Lehman came in having outscored its opposition 50-9, led by the speedy Sarah Titterington. The Lady Cavaliers had surrendered more than one goal just twice all season and held to less than two goals just three times. So,Horvath knew Piqua was going to have to be opportunistic with its chances. “Lehman plays great defense,” Horvath said. “I knew we weren’t going to get a lot of chances to score. To be able to get two goals against them, I was really happy with that.” And, it was the Lady
Indians who drew first blood. With 27:23 remaining in the first half, Piqua got behind the Lehman defense, with Hannah Went getting the ball thru and Kayla Schrubb finishing it from the left side. “One of our fullbacks went up and the other one didn’t go back,” Schroeder said. “That created a 1v1 for Piqua.” Schrubb took full advantage of the opportunity. “Lehman plays a flatback defense,” Horvath said. “So, we thought we could get a ball through the slot. It was a great ball by Hannah (Went) and it really helped having Kayla (Schrubb) out at midfield.” Piqua defender Alexis Branum was matched up on Titterington throughout the game — and while Titterington was still able to create opportunities at times with her speed and athletic ability, Horvath was pleased with the play of Branum. “Alexis (Branum) is injured — she isn’t 100 percent,” Horvath said. “I thought she did a phenomenal job.” But, with 11:45 remaining in the first half, Titterington started what would be the equalizer by re-directing a kick from the right side to in
front of the goal and Sara Fuller was able to finish it to make it 1-1. “They (Sarah Titterington, Sara Fuller) both did a great job,” Schroeder said. “I was happy to see Sara (Fuller) score, because she has been injured.” The score remained that way until early in the second half. Lehman was called for a foul about 10 yards outside the box and Piqua’s Kaylee Bradney took the kick. She placed it perfectly, just to the left of the goal, and with 35:56 remaining in the game, Kaili Ingle put it into the corner of the net to make it 2-1. “I couldn’t have done that any better in practice than Kaylee (Bradney) did,” Horvath said. “What a great ball. And Kaili (Ingle) was right where she needed to be to finish it.” Schroeder agreed. “There’s not much you can do about that,” he said. “That was a great ball. The only thing I would change is the girl marking her (Kaili Ingle), should have been right there with her next to the goal. But, that was great execution on their part.” Thanks to a number of saves by Patrizio, the

And Piqua nearly made it 3-1, but Went’s strike hit off the post and rebounded back into play with less than five minutes remaining. “My heart broke for her (Hannah Went),” Horvath said. “It was just
a matter of inches. But, Hannah did all the right things on that play.” Patrizio had a diving save at the 2:15 mark and not until Bradney cleared the ball with seconds remaining could Piqua celebrate a big win.
Versailles’ late-game rally falls short BUCKEYES point was missed. The Tigers took the lead in the second quarter 12-7 aided by a blocked punt by Clay Wilker. Punting from their 20. “That was a huge play by Clay.” Miller said “We’ve been telling him all week you’ve just got to believe your going to block that. He got in there and made a huge play for Wilker busted us.” through and Jacob Heitkamp recovered at the 14-yard line. “ Mike Rutshilling ran the ball in from 2 yards out. The lead was short lived as less than 2 minutes later Blue Jay running back Tyler Jettinghoff turned on his jets and
raced 76 yards to pay dirt to take back the lead 14-12. “He’s a phenomenal running back.” Miller said “He’s got it all, He’s got size and speed.” The Blue Jays added another touchdown on a 42 yard run but the extra point was blocked. Behind by 8 points the Tigers needed to score and execute a 2 point conversion to tie the game. Damian Richard caught a pass on fourth down that gave the Tigers a first down. Richard then made a diving catch at the Blue Jay 1 yard line. Nick Campbell walked into the end zone when the Blue Jays put all eleven
players in the box. The Tigers were not able to get the needed conversion to tie the game. With time running out, the Tigers attempted an onside kick. The ball took the bounce needed, but a Blue Jay player made a heads up play and caught the ball on the high bounce. The Jays were able to run out the clock. The loss puts the Tigers at 5-3 on the season and needing to win out for a chance at the playoffs. Minster is next up for the Tigers. The Wildcats come into the game with a 6-2 record and have all but assured themselves a playoff spot.
Mother Nature captures UNOH Sprintacular ROSSBURG — Persistent rain showers and the threat of additional precipitation in the immediate area forced the cancellation of the UNOH (University of Northwestern Ohio) Sprintacular on Saturday.

WIN And team owner Waltrip, he wanted them both because they’d be an upgrade to his organization and allow him to expand to a third team. But he wasn’t sure either would even consider joining MWR. Somehow, it all came together and clicked faster than anyone expected. The cars were fast, the chemistry was good and they were in Victory Lane for the first time in June on the road course at Sonoma. They did it again on the short track at Richmond to end the regular season. Saturday night’s vic-
at the Sprintacular. With the cancellation, Barney Craig won his fourth track title with a six-point victory over Shawn Phillipi, 322 to 316.

close, if we could possibly pull this off again in Kansas — it would be, that’s my, do you dare say, Daytona 500? But it truly is. That’s the biggest race you can possibly win, in front of your hometown.” It won’t be easy for Bowyer to overcome this deficit and win the championship. Standing in front of him is Keselowski, a two-time winner in the Chase so far, five-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin, who nearly won the 2010 title but fumbled it away to Johnson in the finale.
Tailback Carlos Hyde said, “Some people were a little down. Even though we won, people were a little down because that ain’t us, how we finished, that ain’t us. We got a win, so we enjoyed the win, but that ain’t us.” Next up for Ohio State is Purdue (3-3, 0-2 Big Ten) in a noon game this Saturday at Ohio Stadium. The Boilermakers were optimistic after starting 3-1, with the only loss to unbeaten Notre Dame, but they have been crushed 4413 by Michigan and 3814 by Wisconsin the last two weeks. Purdue’s defense allowed 645 yards against Wisconsin, including 247 yards rushing by the Badgers’ tailback Montee Ball. Against Michigan, they gave up 409 yards and the Wolverines’ quarterback Denard Robinson rushed for 235 yards. The Boilermakers’ offense has been guided by three different quarterbacks, all of whom have been starters at one time in their career. Caleb TerBush started against Wisconsin and was followed by Robert Marve and Rob Henry. TerBush and Henry have played in every game so far and Marve has played in all but one.

It pushed Bowyer up one spot in the Chase standings to fourth, just 28 points behind leader Brad Keselowski as the Sprint Cup Series shifts to Kansas — Bowyer’s home track. “That’s probably the biggest thing, to come off this win, going into your hometown,” Bowyer said. “It’s just so important to be able to roll in on a positive note. And to be able to win there some day, we’ve gotten
“Spread teams are going to get some yards on us but we have to stop them from scoring. They scored so many points tonight, I believe they had 49 on us, that’s ridiculous. I feel like the defense played a decent game until the end when we kind of fell apart, kind of collapsed,” he said. “That’s horrible. We have to eliminate the big plays. We gave up two or three plays where it was simple stuff, where we should have just played our job, did our job and we could have handled it. You can’t let up on the gas pedal. You have to crush your opponent. You have to just completely terminate your opponent. That’s the mindset we have to get.” The mindset of the Buckeyes after the game mixed happiness to escape with a win with disappointment. Cornerback Travis Howard said, “Guys were excited but we knew we didn’t do what we were capable of. That was not something we were very impressed with. We just have to go to the drawing board tomorrow. “We told ourselves we were going to hold this team to maybe a touchdown. That they put up that many points is horrendous.”

DELPHOS — It was not the homecoming coach Adam Miller wanted. The former St. John Blue Jay brought his Tigers back to Delphos Friday to see a late-game rally fall short. The Tigers missed a 2 point conversion that would have tied the game, and ultimately fell 20-18. The Tigers got off to a slow start falling behind 7-0 early. With the Blue Jays driving, Jacob Barga picked off a Delphos pass in the end zone. Versailles drove 80 yards with the last 20 coming on a pass from Nick Campell to Damian Richard to close to within 1 point. The extra
