Daughter Elizabeth is up already, packing her lunch. My husband Joe didn’t have work today, so we didn’t have to get up earlier.

5:10 a.m. — Elizabeth’s ride is here and she leaves for the factory.

5:30 a.m. — Joe gets up. I told him to sleep in since he has a chance, but he said to him 5:30 a.m. is sleeping in. I make some coffee and we relax in our recliners until it’s time to wake the children up. Nights have been cool so we usually close most of the windows at night. These chilly mornings make you think of the winter months ahead. We did have a killing frost already in some areas on Saturday morning. It affected some of my garden. That’s the earliest I can remember having a killing frost since our move to Michigan.

1 dead, 1 injured in home explosion LIBERTY CENTER (AP) — An explosion leveled a home in northwest Ohio on Wednesday, killing a woman and injuring a man and spreading debris around a quarter-mile area.

The explosion occurred around 7:30 a.m. in Liberty Township, about 30 miles southwest of Toledo.

“It looked like the house got hit by a tornado, although you can tell it’s an explosion from the debris field,” said Tracy Busch, director of the Henry County Emergency Management Agency. “There’s just nothing left.”

Busch said the injured man was taken by helicopter to a Toledo hospital. The names of the victims and the man’s condition were not immediately available.

The cause of the explosion had not been determined, but investigators from the state fire marshal’s office were on the scene in the township near Liberty Center, Busch said.

No other injuries were reported, but homes on either side of the house had structural damage and their residents were evacuated, Busch said. He said those homes appeared to have been shifted from their foundations.

Anti-shutdown bill advances Big fight still looms WASHINGTON (AP) — Unanimous but far from united, the Senate advanced legislation to prevent a partial government shutdown on Wednesday, the 100-0 vote certain to mark merely a brief pause in a fierce partisan struggle over the future of President Barack Obama’s signature health care law.

The vote came shortly after Texas Sen. Ted Cruz held the Senate in session overnight — and the Twitterverse in his thrall

— with a near-22-hour speech that charmed the tea party wing of the GOP, irritated the leadership and was meant to propel fellow Republican lawmakers into an all-out struggle to extinguish the law.

Defying one’s own party leaders is survivable, he declared in pre-dawn remarks on the Senate floor. “Ultimately, it is liberating.”

Legislation passed by the Republican-controlled House last week would

cancel all funds for the three-year-old law, preventing its full implementation.

But Senate Democrats have enough votes to restore the funds, and Majority Leader Harry Reid labeled Cruz’s turn in the spotlight “a big waste of time.”

Clearing a path Student’s Eagle Scout project helps Miami East students

Melanie Yingst Staff Writer

CASSTOWN — Pointing out deer tracks and where a deer rub was recently formed on a tree, Miami East High School senior Justin Furrow talked about how he enjoys being in the outdoors.

As part of his Eagle Scout project, Furrow worked all summer clearing that same path in the woods behind his school’s campus for students and teachers to learn from the woods and creek bank that run along the school district’s grounds.

Furrow expanded upon other former Miami East alumni and fellow Boy Scouts’ projects by expanding the “land lab,” laying mulch and creating a loop that the high school’s cross country Staff Photo/ANTHONY WEBER team now is able to use as Miami East High School senior Justin Furrow discusses the work he put in all summer clearing a path in part of its training. the woods behind his school’s campus for students and teachers — as part of his Eagle Scout project.

Hundreds honor two fathers killed at Navy Yard LA PLATA, Md. (AP) — Hundreds of people gathered Wednesday to celebrate the life of a federal worker and lifelong Washington Redskins fan who was gunned down at the Washington Navy Yard last week.

Kenneth “Bernard” Proctor, 46, a utilities engineer at the Navy Yard who worked for the federal government for more than two decades, was remembered as a loyal father, friend and public servant at his funeral in La Plata, Md. He left behind two sons.

Another funeral was held Wednesday for Arthur Daniels of Washington.

They were among 12 people killed by a gunman in the shooting massacre Sept. 16.

At a standing-roomonly service at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in La Plata, Proctor’s sons placed their dad’s beloved Redskins jersey inside their father’s casket. Proctor had coached their football teams growing up, friends said.

Proctor loved fishing and working on his race car that he raced at Maryland International Raceway.

Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer, who attended the service, presented a flag to Proctor’s two sons, Kenneth “BJ” Proctor Jr. and Kendull Proctor.

Hoyer represents the family’s southern Maryland home in Congress, and the flag was flown over the Capitol in Proctor’s honor.

FBI agents work in nightmarish scene at Kenya mall NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Working near bodies crushed by rubble in a bullet-scarred, scorched mall, FBI agents began fingerprint, DNA and ballistic analysis Wednesday to help determine the identities and nationalities of victims and al-Shabab gunmen who attacked the shopping center, killing more than 60 people.

A gaping hole in the mall’s roof was caused by Kenyan soldiers who fired rocket-propelled grenades inside, knocking out a support column, a government official said.

The official, who insisted he not be identified because he was sharing security information, said the soldiers fired to distract a terrorist sniper so hostages could be evacuated.

The current death toll is 67 and is likely to climb with uncounted bodies remaining in the wreckage of the Nairobi mall. Another 175 people were injured, including more than 60 who remain hospitalized.

At least 18 foreigners were among those killed.

Al-Shabab, the Somali Islamic extremist group which carried out the attack, said Wednesday that foreigners were a “legitimate target” and confirmed witness accounts that gunmen separated Muslims from other people and let the Muslims go free. The others were gunned down or taken hostage.

“The Mujahideen carried out a meticulous vetting process at the mall and have taken every possible precaution to separate the Muslims from the Kuffar (disbelievers) before carrying out their attack,” the group said in an email exchange with The Associated Press.

Witnesses have told AP and other media that gunmen rounded up people, asked questions about Islam that a Muslim would know and told the Muslims to leave the mall. Still, some Muslims were among the victims.

Also among those killed when the militants entered the Westgate Mall on Saturday, firing assault rifles and throwing grenades were six Britons and citizens from France, Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, Peru, India, Ghana, South Africa and China.

Asked if al-Shabab had intended to kill foreigners, the group said “our target was to attack the Kenyan govt on it’s soil and any part of the Kenyan territory is a legitimate target … and Kenya should be held responsible for the loss of life, whether foreigners or local.”

Al-Shabab had threatened retaliation against Kenya for sending its troops into Somalia against alShabab, and many of those killed in an attack that horrified the world were Kenyans.

The violence continued elsewhere Wednesday. In the Kenyan town of Wajir, which lies along the border with Somalia, one person was killed and four wounded after a gunman opened fire and threw grenades, the Interior Ministry said.

Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku said forensic experts from the U.S., Israel, Britain, Germany and Canada are all taking part in trying to reconstruct the scene at the mall. He said results would not be ready before a week’s time.

Morgue officials in Nairobi have been prepared for the last two days for a large influx of bodies still in the mall. Officials have told AP that the shopping center, which the terrorists held for four days, could hold dozens more bodies.

The government has confirmed 72 total deaths: 61 civilians, six security forces and five attackers. The Red Cross says 71 people remain missing.

Al-Shabab on its Twitter feed Wednesday claimed that the Kenyan government assault team carried out “a demolition” of the building, burying 137 hostages in the debris. A government spokesman denied the claim and said

Kenyan forces were clearing all rooms Wednesday, firing as they moved and encountering no one.

The al-Shabab claim appeared to refer to the rocket-propelled grenades fired inside the Nakumatt department store, in the incident described to AP by a government official.

In a series of tweets from a Twitter account believed to be genuine, al-Shabab also said that “having failed to defeat the mujahideen inside the mall, the Kenyan govt disseminated chemical gases to end the siege.”

Kenyan government spokesman Manoah Esipisu told AP that no chemical weapons were used — including tear gas — and that the collapse of floors in the mall was caused by a fire set by the terrorists.

“Al-Shabab is known for wild allegations and there is absolutely no truth to what they’re saying,” he said. But officials said the death count will likely rise.

The country’s interior minister in a press conference said an “inconsequential number” of bodies remained in the mall.

The mall’s top level parking lot collapsed in the middle of the

building. That brought the second level down onto the ground floor on top of at least eight civilians and one or more attackers, said Esipisu.

Lenku said there were no indications that a woman took part in the attack, despite persistent press speculation, and he said officials have not yet confirmed reports that the attackers had rented a shop inside the mall.

U.S. Ambassador Robert Godec said Wednesday that Washington is providing technical support and equipment to Kenyan security forces and medical responders. Godec said the U.S. is assisting the investigation to bring the attack’s organizers and perpetrators to justice.

In another development, a British man was arrested in Kenya following the terrorist attack, Britain’s Foreign Office said.

British officials are ready to provide assistance to the man, the agency said in a statement Wednesday. Officials would not provide his name or details. He is believed to be in his 30s. Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper said he was arrested Monday as he tried to board a flight from Nairobi to Turkey with a bruised face and while acting suspiciously.

coached football with Proctor, said that the family has few details about the Navy Yard shooting, but that they have been told he was in the cafeteria at the military installation when he was shot.

“It’s still shocking,” Edelen said.

“It still doesn’t make sense.”

Proctor’s sons — whom he raised with his high school sweetheart, Evelyn Proctor, even after they divorced this year — were the joy of his life, friends said. The oldest son, Kenneth Proctor Jr., enlisted in the Army after graduating from high school this spring and left for basic training in Oklahoma two weeks before his father was killed.

Kendull Proctor, 15, spoke at the end of the service and said his

father had taught him respect. He recalled a grocery shopping trip where his father paid for an older woman’s groceries ahead of them in line because she couldn’t afford the items.

“He said to me later,” Kendull Proctor said, “the reason he paid for them was because if that was his mother, he would want someone to step up.”

A funeral was also held Wednesday in Temple Hills for Daniels, a handyman and father who was working for a furniture contractor when he was shot at the Navy Yard. One of Daniels’ sons also was the victim of gun violence in an earlier fatal shooting.

Billy Martin, a lawyer who represents the Daniels family, said the funeral was a very sad moment, but Daniels’ wife and children were overwhelmed by the outpouring of care and love from people who filled the church.

“His loss will be felt forever,” Martin said.

The family issued a statement, calling the mass shooting “senseless and tragic.” He is survived by four children and his wife, Priscilla Daniels.

“Arthur was a deeply devoted husband, father, and employee,” the family wrote. “Together, he and Priscilla, his loving wife of 30 years, built a home filled with love.”

HONOR

n Continued from page 1 “Eight days ago, 12 of our fellow citizens who served their country with distinction and with honor were taken from us in a senseless, indiscriminate act of a demented and sick person,” Hoyer said. “We lament their loss, but we are joyful in their service to our country.”

Karl Dyer, a longtime friend and family member by marriage, said Proctor was generous, loyal and full of life.

“He loved to laugh,” Dyer said.

“What I remember most about him was his smile. He always had a big smile on his face.”

The family has been left in shock and disbelief that he’s gone, Dyer said.

to choose from, and her department estimated the average individual premium for a benchmark policy known as the “second-lowest cost silver plan” would range from a low of $192 in Minnesota to a high of $516 in Wyoming. Tax credits will bring down the cost for many.

Republicans counter that the legislation is causing employers to defer hiring new workers, lay off existing ones and reduce the hours of still others to hold down costs as they try to ease the impact of the bill’s taxes and other requirements.

“Obamacare is destroying jobs. It is driving up health care costs. It is killing health benefits. It is shattering the economy,” said Cruz.

Topsy, a search engine that’s a preferred partner of Twitter, calculated on its website during the day that there had been about 200,000 tweets containing the words “Ted Cruz” in the previous day.

Eight months in office, he drew handshakes from several conservative lawmakers as he finished speaking and accolades from tea party and other groups.

Chris Chocola, president of the Club for Growth, said Americans owe “Cruz a

debt of gratitude for standing on principle in the fight to stop Obamacare.”

In addition to the praise, Cruz he drew a withering rebuttal from one fellow Republican, Arizona Sen. John McCain.

McCain read aloud Cruz’s comments from Tuesday comparing those who doubt the possibility of eradicating the health care law to former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlin and others who had suggested Adolf Hitler and the Nazis could not be stopped in the 1940s.

“I resoundingly reject that allegation,” said McCain, whose grandfather led U.S. carrier forces in the Pacific during World War II, and whose father commanded two submarines.

“It does a great disservice to those Americans who stood up and said ‘what’s happening in Europe cannot stand.’”

Even with the 100-0 vote, the legislation faces several hurdles that must be overcome as both houses and lawmakers in both parties work to avoid a partial shutdown next Tuesday.

The struggle over restoring funds for the health care law is by far the most contentious unresolved issue.

While no final decisions have been made, party officials say a one-year delay is likely to be added, rather than the full-fledged defunding that is part of the spending bill awaiting action in the Senate.

If the events themselves were complicated, the political maneuvering was no less so.

At least temporarily, they pitted Cruz and his tea party allies inside Congress and out against the party establishment, including House Speaker John Boehner and the Senate GOP leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

Little more than a week ago, conservatives in the House rank and file forced Boehner and other leaders to include the defunding provision on legislation required to avoid a shutdown, despite their concerns that it would set the party up for failure.

Within hours after the measure cleared the House, Cruz infuriated his allies by virtually conceding he wouldn’t have the votes to prevail in the Senate, and stating that “At that point, House Republicans must stand firm, hold their ground and continue to listen to the American people.”

Senate Democrats also want to increase funding for federal firefighting efforts without making offsetting cuts to other programs. The House-passed bill provides $636 million for the program, but includes reductions elsewhere to avoid raising the deficit.

To avoid a partial government shutdown, a single, agreed-upon version must be approved by Congress and signed by Obama by Tuesday.

The shutdown issue is a particularly haunting one for Republicans, some of whom were in Congress two decades ago when the GOP suffered politically as the result of a pair of government closures in the winter of 1995-1996.

In a further complication, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew told Congress that the Treasury’s ability to borrow funds will be exhausted on Oct. 17, and legislation is needed to renew its authority if the government is to avoid a first-ever default.

The House is expected to approve a measure later this week allowing Treasury to borrow freely for another year, although that legislation, too, will include a provision to carry out the Republican campaign against “Obamacare.”

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP

The Anniston (Ala.) Star on the Keynesian approach: Are we, to borrow a bit of a phrase from Milton Friedman, “all Keynesians now?”

Probably not.

There are those, like former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, who have pointed to their brand of fiscal conservatism and contended that “we are all Austrians now.” It’s a tip of the hat to the school of economics that is more in line with his thinking than the followers of John Maynard Keynes.

Keynes argued, among other things, that in the short run a depressed economy can be stimulated by an infusion of capital by a central bank and/or complementing actions by a central government.

This can be seen in practice in the Federal Reserve’s decision last week to spend billions buying bonds in order to keep interests rates low, which makes borrowing money more attractive and, in this time of lackluster economic growth, helps to spur investment.

However, the Keynesian express seemed about to end as word spread before last week that the Fed would begin to slow its buying. …

U.S. Stock Exchange investors had been particular nervous, so when the Fed announced that it had met with central bankers who promised to continue loaning if the government would continue to buy bonds, the stock market responded just as Keynes said it would.

Investors invested and the Dow Jones Industrial Average set a new record last week. Some of that gain was erased the next day, as investors cashed in their gains, but for the moment at least the Keynesian approach seemed to work as predicted.

Add to this the unexpected rise in the sale of previously owned homes and the arrival of lower-than-expected unemployment reports and it was a pretty heady time on Wall Street.

No one expects the Fed to continue to buy bonds at this rate, but

the Keynesian approach has given the economy a boost as well as a little more time to recover.

That was what Keynes predicted in the first place.

Paris (Tenn.)

Post-Intelligencer on the war’s ugliest side shown in Pakistan: Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman got it right: War is hell.

There’s not much gallant or noble about it. It’s blood and body parts and wailing.

“Collateral damage” is the sanitized way to describe the suffering of innocent bystanders.

On Sunday, 78 civilians died in the most horrific attack yet on Pakistan’s Christian minority. A pair of suicide bombers blew themselves up amid hundreds of worshippers at the historic All Saints Church in Peshawar.

The Jundullah arm of the Taliban claimed responsibility, saying they would continue to target non-Muslims until the United States stops drone attacks on Taliban forces in Pakistan’s remote tribal region.

The U.S. has carried out several hundred drone attacks against militants and their allies near the Afghan border. The latest came on the same day as the church attack, when missiles hit two compounds in the North Waziristan tribal area,. Six suspected militants died.

The church bombing injured 141 people, including 37 children. The death count included 34 women and seven children.

It may not be tactically correct to do so, but it’s hard to overlook the imbalance: Six dead on one side, 78 on the other.

Targeting innocent people “is against the teachings of Islam and all religions,” the Pakistani prime minister said.

One of the problems of the nasty business of warfare is that it can be hard to tell who the innocent ones are. But it’s certain that those who died at All Saints Church didn’t go around killing people.

LETTERS To the Editor: To all the people who have been writing in and talking about how great the Mumford & Sons concert was for Troy — while I certainly understand what a great thing this was financially for the city, I have to wonder … at what cost?

I believed it when we were told this would be something that would be good for the whole family, so I took my two daughters, both of whom are in junior high. I understood going in there would be alcohol consumed — and to be honest, I really don’t have a big problem with that. So long as it was properly monitored — and, as near as I could tell, it was — I have no problem with people who are of legal age consuming alcohol. My children understand that when they reach a certain age, that’s a decision they can make for themselves.

What I didn’t appreciate, however, was

the amount of profanity that would be used in some of the songs — one in particular

by Munford & Sons. Within the first few songs they played that Saturday night, they repeatedly used a word that, quite frankly, we don’t use in our house.

I realize some people may think I’m a “stick in the mud” — and that is fine — but I at least think we should have been given some warning that that type of language was going to be used at the concert. Had we been made aware, I don’t think I would have taken my children.

And I realize there are a variety of other places they can hear that word — but by not receiving any warning, I felt as though it looks like I was giving my children my “blessing” by taking them.

Next time a concert like this comes to Troy, I hope we get some advance warning.

— Julie Martin, Troy

My list of Trojan Athletics Hall of Fame inductees for 2014 Faced with more than 100 years of history — and more than a century’s worth of historic deeds, heroic feats and superstar athletes — the Trojan Athletic Hall of Fame committee got it right.

Or, more to the point, didn’t get it wrong.

Four weeks ago, the Troy High School announced its inaugural hall of fame class.

Given Troy’s rich athletic history — and the fact no hall of fame had ever been put in place before — it certainly was a daunting task. There were dozens of athletes nominated — all of whom were deserving in their own right — but the selection committee was steadfast in making sure not everyone who was nominated was automatically inducted.

Inducting too many would have somehow cheapened the accomplishments of those who did get in. The number of inductees was capped at 10 — which meant, quite simply, there were going to be a number of deserving nominees who didn’t get in. While a strong argument could certainly be made for those who did not got in, it’s hard to argue against those who did get in.

Bob Ferguson, Tommy Vaughn, Tommy Myers, Ryan Brewer, Kris Dielman, Max Urick, Gordon Bell, Randy Walker, Kami (Mathews) Gardner and Brooks Hall

all were deserving entrants ball player at Troy High into the hall.

to be inducted sooner as opposed to later.

• Todd Darbyshire (wrestling): Much like making it to your sport’s highest level should earn you automatic consideration for induction into the Trojan Athletic Hall of Fame.

Not only did Todd Darbyshire earn a state wrestling championship in 1982, he did so in dominating fashion. Not only did Darbyshire go undefeated and win a state championship as a senior, he did so be pinning returning state champion Joe Silvestro in the championship match.

How often do returning state champions get pinned in Columbus the following year? Not very often.

Darbyshire is the only state wrestling champion in school history and deserves to be recognized for his accomplishments.

• Mike Lyons (gymnastics): Not only was Lyons a state champion at Troy, he also was an AllAmerican gymnast at Iowa State University.

Lyons was a gymnast for Iowa State from 19771980, where he earned NCAA All-American recognition for the still rings in 1980, was awarded the ISU Gymnastics Alumni Award in 1981 and was team captain and part of the 1980 Cyclone national runner-up team.

All of that — coupled with Lyons’ more recent

accomplishments as a CrossFit athlete, should make him a shoe-in for induction into the Trojan Athletics Hall of Fame.

• Levi Fox (cross country, track and field): Fox is another of Troy’s state champions who did not make the first cut … which, in my opinion, puts him near the top of the list for the second class.

In addition to earning a state championship in the 3,200 his senior year, Fox also was a state runner-up during cross country season. Furthermore, Fox went on to earn AllAmerica honors by placing 10th in the 2005 Footlocker National Championships cross country meet.

Fox, who also went on to compete at The Ohio State University, has to be considered for any Troy hall of fame.

• Hollly (Rhoades) Saylor: The fact that she is not quickly brought up as one of the greatest female athletes in school history borders on travesty.

In today’s era of sports specialization, Saylor is an anomaly. Despite playing three team sports at Troy, Saylor never once participated in a junior varsity game, earning 12 combined varsity letters in soccer, basketball and softball. Quite simply, that doesn’t happen anymore.

Saylor could have had her pick of sports to play in college, but settled upon soccer, earning four let-

ters for the University of Cincinnati.

So there it is … my list for 2014. Did I leave worthy candidates off my list?

No doubt. But I defy anyone to make an argument for taking any of those six off the list.

Portraits of locals blanket Cincinnati-area spaces

AP Photo Workers use wheat glue to put poster sized portraits of people on Fountain Square as part of a world wide art project called Inside Out, Monday, in Cincinnati. The project spans the world and has included the portraits of 120,000 people.

idea behind Cincinnati’s project was to “rehumanize” the city, allowing residents to walk on the portraits in Fountain Square as a metaphor for the city’s foundation.

Kelly Sells, 46, took her two teenage daughters to Fountain Square on Monday to have their portraits added to the project and said she particularly liked that all

the portraits are black and white, obscuring race.

“Our commonality is going to be what holds us together, not our differences,” said Sells, who lives in Covington, Ky., just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. “People can look different but we’re all basically the same, no matter where you are in the world.”

LIBERTY CENTER (AP) — An explosion leveled a home in northwest Ohio on Wednesday, killing a woman and injuring a man and spreading debris around a quartermile area.

The explosion occurred around 7:30 a.m. in Liberty Township, about 30 miles southwest of Toledo.

“It looked like the house got hit by a tornado, although you can tell it’s an explosion from the debris field,” said Tracy Busch, director of the Henry County Emergency Management Agency. “There’s just nothing left.”

Busch said the injured man was taken by helicopter to a Toledo hospital. The names of the victims and the man’s condition were not immediately available.

The cause of the explosion had not been determined, but investigators from the state fire marshal’s office were on the scene in the township near Liberty Center, Busch said.

No other injuries were reported, but homes on either side of the house had structural damage and their residents were evacuated, Busch said.

He said those homes appeared to have been

shifted from their foundations.

Wednesday’s explosion comes about a week after another house explosion in northwest Ohio killed two people and injured three.

Investigators were looking into whether a leaking liquid propane tank caused the Sept. 17 fire in Troy Township near the village of Stony Ridge, about 15 miles south of Toledo.

One man died after being taken to a hospital, and the body of a woman was found in the rubble about six hours after that explosion.

Ohio uses execution drug, for last time, on killer LUCASVILLE (AP) — A white gunman who spewed racial slurs before fatally shooting a black man and a police officer in a 1994 rampage at his Ohio apartment complex has been executed with the state’s last use of its execution drug.

Sixty-one-year-old Harry Mitts Jr. died Wednesday by lethal injection of the powerful sedative pentobarbital at the state prison in Lucasville.

Ohio’s supply of pentobarbital is expiring. The state expects to announce its new execution method

by Oct. 4.

Mitts was convicted of aggravated murder in the rampage against suburban Cleveland neighbors and police officers.

He acknowledged killing a neighbor’s black boyfriend and a white Garfield Heights police sergeant who responded.

The Ohio Parole Board and Republican Gov. John Kasich (KAY’-sik) had denied Mitts’ pleas for mercy. Mitts said he found God in prison after receiving a Bible from the slain officer’s family.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP’s earlier story is below.

Ohio planned to execute a white gunman who spewed racial slurs before fatally shooting a black man and a police officer in a 1994 rampage at his suburban Cleveland apartment complex, using a lethal injection that was to be the last before the state’s supply of its execution drug expires.

Harry Mitts Jr., 61, was scheduled to die Wednesday at the state prison in Lucasville after years of acknowledging his crimes and saying he’s repented.

Mitts was convicted of aggravated murder and attempted murder in the rampage against random neighbors and responding police officers.

He was on constant watch headed into the 10 a.m. execution after two recent high-profile prison suicides in the state. With his execution, Ohio’s valid supply of the execution

drug pentobarbital was also set to expire. Officials expect to announce the state’s new procedure next month.

With clemency denied and his legal appeals exhausted, Mitts has been concentrating on spiritual matters during what are expected to be his final days, attorney Jeff Kelleher said Tuesday.

“He is more concerned with the higher power right now than what those like myself or the state might or might not do,” Kelleher said.

The prisons department said Mitts visited with his attorneys, a friend and a spiritual adviser Tuesday evening.

Mitts has said he’s repented for the crimes committed during his drunken racially charged rampage. His criminal record was minimal before and since.

Wearing what witnesses described as yellow goggles and wielding a gun with a laser sight and later other weapons, Mitts first shouted racial epithets and killed a neighbor’s black boyfriend, John Bryant, and then shot and killed white Garfield Heights police Sgt. Dennis Glivar as he responded to the scene. Mitts also shot and wounded two other police officers.

Mitts told the Ohio Parole Board he had drunk heavily because he was distraught over his divorce and had likely shot Bryant to draw police to his home in hopes they would shoot and kill Mitts. He said he wasn’t a racist and didn’t remember directing racial slurs at Bryant before shooting him. He said he couldn’t say why he didn’t shoot two white neighbors

he encountered ahead of Bryant.

The current Garfield Heights police chief, Bob Sackett, told the panel during an August hearing that Mitts’ denial of his racial motivation was an insult to Bryant’s family.

“Nothing Mitts said or did on the night of the crime suggested that Mitts did in fact want to die at the police’s hands or that he was not in control of his own actions,” he told the board. “Mitts murdered two men in cold blood, one because of the color of his skin, one because of the uniform he wore.”

Among a patchwork of actions that day, Mitts called and threatened the husband of his ex-wife, then-Grand River Police Chief Jonathon Salerno, saying he at one time intended to kill him, too.

Salerno said Mitts was an aggressive person who hated blacks and the police.

Prosecutors said that, with the murders, multiple shootings and additional death threats carried out that day, Mitts “exhibited complete disregard for the lives of officers and innocent bystanders at the scene.”

“That further tragedy did not result from the bedlam that Mitts created on August 14, 1994, is in many respects a miracle,” a clemency report said.

His pleas for mercy were denied by the Ohio Parole Board and Republican Gov. John Kasich.

Mitts, at his clemency hearing, said he had found God in prison. After his conviction, he spoke of receiving a Bible from Glivar’s mother and sister and a letter expressing their forgiveness and urging him to seek repentance.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Cincinnati has joined a global art project, blanketing hundreds of poster-sized portraits of area residents in public spaces.

In the days leading up to Tuesday’s culmination of the project, area residents have lined up at various locations to get their photo taken in a truck. The photos were printed seconds later on poster-sized paper.

The black-and-white portraits have been glued to a popular farmers market, a general store in Rabbit Hash, Ky., and most visibly, Fountain Square in the heart of downtown Cincinnati.

The pictures began carpeting the granite walkways of the square on Monday, and the project finishes up on Tuesday.

The art project, known as Inside Out, spans the world from Mexico to South Africa and Russia to Iran, and has included the portraits of more than 120,000 people.

The Paris-born artist who had the idea for the global project said that he has largely been uninvolved in the Cincinnati effort but that each city makes the art its own, and each one reflects a given community in a unique way.

The artist, who declined to provide his full name, goes only by his initials of JR, in part to let his art speak for itself. An exhibition of his work opened Friday at Cincinnati’s Contemporary Arts Center to coincide with the Inside Out project.

Steven Matijcio, curator of the museum, said the

some coffee and we relax in our recliners until it’s time to wake the children up. Nights have been cool so we usually close most of the windows at night.

These chilly mornings make you think of the winter months ahead. We did have a killing frost already in some areas on Saturday morning. It affected some of my garden. That’s the earliest I can remember having a killing frost since our move to Michigan.

6 a.m. — We get the children up to start getting ready for school. Our breakfast is biscuits and gravy.

7 a.m. — Bus is here and Benjamin (14), Loretta (13), Joseph (11), Lovina (9) and Kevin (8) all leave for school. Susan (17) and Verena (15) wash the breakfast dishes. Joe does the morning chores. The four calves still seem to

4:50 a.m. — My alarm goes off. Daughter Elizabeth is up already, packing her lunch. My husband Joe didn’t have work today, so we didn’t have to get up earlier.

5:10 a.m. — Elizabeth’s ride is here and she leaves for the factory.

5:30 a.m. — Joe gets up. I told him to sleep in since he has a chance, but he said to him 5:30 a.m. is sleeping in. I make

be doing well so far. No more escapes and calf chases, which we hope stays that way. I clean up the house and sweep the floors.

8:45 a.m. — Susan, Verena and I leave to go help sister Emma with her cleaning. Church services will be held there Sunday. Susan and Verena go with Tiger and the pony wagon. Susan thinks Tiger needs more exercise so she decided to take him. I go with Itty Bit and the queensize buggy. The children plan to come off the bus today at Jacob’s so we need more room to come home. The queen-size buggy has only one seat and our surrey buggy

has two seats. Itty Bit is a smaller horse so we usually hitch her to the queen since it’s easier pulling. Joe stays home to clear out most of the garden and get it ready to till.

Noon — Emma fixed a lunch of potato soup and ham sandwiches. We cleaned her basement and washed off walls and ceilings in both her bathrooms.

3:20 p.m. — The children come off the bus at Jacob’s house with their boys — Jacob Jr., Benjamin and Steven.

They eat a snack and then go outside to mow grass.

The girls are outside cleaning the tool shed windows where church

services will be held. I do odd and end jobs for Emma in the house.

5 p.m. — We leave for home. Elizabeth is home from work and sewing on her baptismal dress which she finishes before suppertime. Joe has the garden looking better.

6:45 p.m. — Supper’s a little later than usual.

We have scrambled eggs, bacon, toast and tomatoes on the menu.

8 p.m. — Dishes are washed and everyone is getting cleaned up for bed.

9 p.m. — Most of the family is in bed, so all is quiet. It’s time to think through the day so I could write this diary. May God bless you all!

Demand grows for shiitake mushrooms from Northeast

SHREWSBURY, Vt. (AP) — Lucas Jackson and Maeve Mangine shifted plans for a farm centered on a goat dairy after taking a workshop in growing shiitake mushrooms.

All it took was logs from their land, mushroom spawn and their labor.

Now they’re selling the spongy rich mushrooms to several Vermont restaurants and a food cooperative and through a community supported agriculture farm. This season, they expect to produce about 500 pounds of mushrooms, which retail for as much as $16 a pound.

The couple’s Tangled Roots Farm in Shrewsbury is one of about 20 farms chosen in Vermont and New York as research sites under a $116,000 U.S. Department of Agriculture grant provided to the University of Vermont Extension’s Center for Sustainable Agriculture and Cornell University Cooperative Extension in 2010.

A UVM-Cornell study conducted over the last three years under the grant has found that growing mushrooms outdoors can be profitable to farmers with at least 500 logs, bringing in $11,190 in gross income at $16 a pound, and that demand is outstripping supply.

Next month, the universities plan to complete a guide for growing shiitake mushrooms in the Northeast.

Jackson, 27, and Mangine, 28, were among 500 to 600 people who attended a series of workshops held by the universities to teach Northeast farmers how to grow shiitakes while using resources from managing or thinning their land and forests.

Like other Northeast farmers, they’re limited by the cold, unlike larger-scale operations in Pennsylvania where mushrooms are grown indoors on compressed sawdust logs in controlled environments. But what they do have going for them is little, if any, overhead: the hardwood logs, a shady spot in the woods, water from a spring up the hill and a refrigerator to store the freshly harvested shiitakes.

“The average temperature needs to be above 40-ish, so we’re pretty limited in our outdoor fruiting season in Vermont and that’s kind of the nature of what we’re doing,” said Mangine, who works as a school administrator. “But growing them outside like this is really nice because we really have very few inputs.”

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Friday, Sept. 27, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Small appliances might break down, or minor breakages could occur that will disrupt your home routine today. Be patient with family members in order to avoid arguments.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Pay attention to everything you say and do, because this is an accidentprone day for you. The accident might occur because you are distracted. Forewarned is forearmed.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Keep an eye on your money today.

You might find money; you might lose money. It's a good idea to guard your possessions against loss or theft. Better to be safe than sorry.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might feel rebellious today or impulsive. Guard against knee-jerk reactions that make you do things you might later regret. If you act with discipline, you'll have no regrets.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a restless day for you. Just accept this and go with the flow. By tomorrow, everything is back to normal. But today requires patience and inner discipline. (No biggie.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A friend might surprise you today or catch you off-guard. Alternatively, you might meet someone who is a real character. Someone bizarre! Perhaps this person will open new doors for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might be surprised at what a boss or parent says to you today. Try not to overreact. And definitely don't quit your day job. Give everything a sober second thought.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Travel plans will be interrupted today, perhaps canceled or delayed.

Similarly, school plans might be canceled or rescheduled. It's just one of those things.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Stay in touch with your bank account and financial situation, because a few surprises could catch you off-guard. Make sure your checks aren't bouncing like rubber balls.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Partners and close friends are hard to predict today. Someone might demand more space in the relationship or say something that puzzles you.

Just be patient. Slowly, slowly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Computer crashes, power outages, staff shortages and canceled meetings are some reasons your workday will be interrupted. Just grin and bear it.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Parents take note: This is an accident-prone day for your kids, so be vigilant. Fortunately, the influence is relatively minor.

YOU BORN TODAY You appear casual, witty, urbane and cool to others --and you are these things. You can be very successful. However, privately, whether you succeed or fail is terribly important to you, which is why you drive yourself so hard. You are talented, versatile and capable of success in many areas. This year will be social and fun-loving. All your relationships will improve.

Schools criticized for bans on dreadlocks, Afros LEANNE ITALIE Associated Press

Lost & Found

Thursday, September 26, 2013

“Why are you so sad?” a TV reporter asked the little girl with a bright pink bow in her hair.

“Because they didn’t like my dreads,” she sobbed, wiping her tears. “I think that they should let me have my dreads.”

With those words, second-grader Tiana Parker of Tulsa, Okla., found herself, at age 7, at the center of decades of debate over standards of black beauty, cultural pride and freedom of expression.

It was no isolated incident at the predominantly black Deborah Brown Community School, which in the face of outrage in late August apologized and rescinded language banning dreadlocks, Afros, mohawks and other “faddish” hairstyles it had called unacceptable and potential health hazards.

A few weeks earlier, another charter school, the Horizon Science Academy in Lorain, Ohio, sent a draft policy home to parents that proposed a ban on “Afro-puffs and small twisted braids.” It, too, quickly apologized and withdrew the wording.

But at historically black Hampton University in Hampton, Va., the dean of the business school has defended and left in place a 12-year-old prohibition on dreadlocks and cornrows for male students in a leadership seminar for MBA candidates, saying the look is not businesslike.

Tiana’s father, barber student Terrance Parker, said he and his wife chose not to change her style and moved the straight-A student to a different public school, where she now happily sings songs about her hair with friends.

“I think it stills hurts her. But the way I teach my kids is regardless of what people say, you be yourself and you be happy with who you are and how God made you,” he said.

Tiana added: “I like my new school better.” As for the thousands of emails and phone calls of support

the family has received from around the world, she said she feels “cared about.”

Deborah Brown, the school’s founder, did not return a call from The Associated Press. Jayson Bendik, dean of students at Horizon in Lorain, said in an email that “our word choice was a mistake.”

In New York City, the dress code at 16-year-old Dante de Blasio’s large public high school in Brooklyn includes no such hair restrictions. Good thing for Dante, whose large Afro is hard to miss at campaign stops and in a TV spot for his father, Bill de Blasio, who is running for mayor.

There is no central clearinghouse for local school board policies on hairstyles, or surveys indicating whether such rules are widespread. Regardless, mothers of color and black beauty experts consider the controversies business as usual.

“Our girls are always getting messages that tell them that they are not good enough, that they don’t look pretty enough, that their skin isn’t light enough, that their hair isn’t long enough, that their hair isn’t blond enough,” said Beverly Bond of the New York-based esteembuilding group Black Girls Rock.

“The public banning of our hair or anything about us that looks like we look, it feels like it’s such a step backward.”

Bond founded the organization in response to an episode in 2007 when radio host Don Imus called members of the Rutgers women’s basketball team “nappy-headed hos.” He later apologized.

In Chicago, Leila Noelliste has been blogging about natural hair at Blackgirllonghair.com for about five years. She has followed the school cases closely. The 28-year-old mother with a natural hairstyle and two daughters who also wear their hair that way said it is a touchy issue among AfricanAmericans and others.

“This is the way the

AP Photo This 2009 photo released by author and blogger Denene Millner shows her daughters, Lila Chiles, 7, left, and Mari Chiles in Snellville, Ga. Millner chose to wear her hair natural nearly 14 years ago for the sake of her daughters, now 14 and 11. “I didn’t want them to grow up with the same idea that I had when I was little, that there was something wrong with the way that my hair grew out of my head.”

hair grows out of my head, yet it’s even shocking in some black communities, because we’ve kind of been told culturally that to be acceptable and to make other people kind of comfortable with the way that we look, we should straighten our hair, whether through heat or chemicals,” she said. “So whether we’re in non-black communities or black communities, with our natural hair, we stand out. It evokes a lot of reaction.”

Particularly painful, said Noelliste and others, is the notion that natural styles are not hygienic.

“Historically natural hair has been viewed as dirty, unclean, unkempt, messy,” she said. “An older black generation, there’s this idea of African-American exceptionalism, that the way for us to get ahead is to work twice as hard as any white person and to prove that if we just work hard and we look presentable we’ll get ahead, and that’s very entrenched.

My generation, we’re saying that that’s not fair. We should be able to show up as we are and based on our individual merit and effort be judged on that.”

Ryan Kiesel, executive director of the Oklahoma chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, said legal rulings on hair and other issues pertaining to school dress codes have been fairly clear.

“For decades now,

Supreme Court precedent has reaffirmed that clothing, including hairstyle, is part of a student’s speech, and if you’re going to interfere with that, then the school district has to make some findings beforehand demonstrating that there is an immediate threat to the academic environment,” he said. “That wasn’t the case here and in most dress-code cases.”

Denene Millner in Atlanta created a blog, Mybrownbaby.com, for other African-American moms and also followed the school hair controversies. She went natural nearly 14 years ago for the sake of her daughters, now 11 and 14.

“I didn’t want them to grow up with the same idea that I had when I was little, that there was something wrong with the way that my hair grew out of my head,” said Millner, 45.

“It’s something that we’ve grappled with for a very, very long time. There’s a whole lot of assumptions made about you that may not necessarily be true: that you’re political, that you’re Afro-centric, that you might be vegetarian, that you’re kind of a hipster.”

She said watching Tiana sob on camera “about these grown-ups, black folks, who are supposed to not just educate her but show her how to love herself, it tore my heart to shreds.”

Earthquake survivors struggle for food, shelter DALBADI, Pakistan (AP) — Survivors built makeshift shelters with sticks and bed sheets Wednesday, a day after their mud houses were flattened in an earthquake that killed 285 people in southwestern Pakistan and pushed a new island up out of the Arabian Sea. While waiting for help to reach remote villages, hungry people dug through the rubble to find food. And the country’s poorest province struggled with a dearth of medical supplies, hospitals and other aid.

The quake flattened wide swathes of Awaran district, where it was centered, leaving much of the population homeless.

Almost all of the 300 mud-brick homes in the village of Dalbadi were destroyed. Noor Ahmad said he was working when the quake struck and rushed home to find his house leveled and his wife and son dead.

“I’m broken,” he said. “I have lost my family.”

At least 373 people were also injured, according to a statement from the National Disaster Management Authority, which gave the latest death toll.

Doctors in the village treated some of the injured, but due to a scarcity of medicine and staff, they were mostly seen comforting residents.

The remoteness of the area and the lack of infrastructure hampered relief efforts. Awaran district is one of the poorest in the country’s most impoverished province.

Just getting to victims was challenging in a region with almost no roads where many people use four-wheel-drive vehicles and camels to traverse the rough terrain.

“We need more tents, more medicine and more food,” said a spokesman

AP Photo In this photo released by the Inter Services Public Relation department Pakistan army troops load relief goods for earthquake-affected areas, in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, Wednesday. Rescuers struggled Wednesday to help thousands of people injured and left homeless after their houses collapsed in a massive earthquake in southwestern Pakistan Tuesday as the death toll rose to hundreds.

for the provincial government, Jan Mohammad Bulaidi.

Associated Press images from the village of Kaich showed the devastation. Houses made mostly of mud and handmade bricks had collapsed.

Walls and roofs caved in, and people’s possessions were scattered on the ground. A few goats roamed through the ruins.

The Pakistani military said it had rushed almost 1,000 troops to the area overnight and was sending helicopters as well.

A convoy of 60 Pakistani army trucks left the port city of Karachi early Wednesday with supplies.

Pakistani forces have evacuated more than 170 people from various villages around Awaran to the district hospital, the military said. Others were evacuated to Karachi.

One survivor interviewed in his Karachi hospital bed said he was sleeping when the quake struck.

“I don’t know who brought me from Awaran to here in Karachi, but I feel back pain and severe pain in my whole body,” he said.

Jan said he didn’t know what happened to the man’s family. He was try-

ing to contact relatives.

Local officials said they were sending doctors, food and 1,000 tents for people who had nowhere to sleep. The efforts were complicated by strong aftershocks.

B aluchist an is Pakistan’s largest province but also the least populated. Medical facilities are few and often poorly stocked with supplies and qualified personnel. Awaran district has about 300,000 residents spread out over 29,000 square kilometers (11,197 square miles).

The local economy consists mostly of smuggling fuel from Iran or harvesting dates.

The area where the quake struck is at the center of an insurgency that Baluch separatists have been waging against the Pakistani government for years. The separatists regularly attack Pakistani troops and symbols of the state, such as infrastructure projects.

It’s also prone to earthquakes. A magnitude 7.8 quake centered just across the border in Iran killed at least 35 people in Pakistan last April.

Tuesday’s shaking was so violent it drove up mud and earth from the

sea floor to create a new island off the Pakistani coast.

A Pakistani Navy team reached the island by midday Wednesday. Navy geologist Mohammed Danish told the country’s Geo Television that the mass was a little wider than a tennis court and slightly shorter than a football field.

The director of the National Seismic Monitoring Center confirmed that the mass was created by the quake and said scientists were trying to determine how it happened. Zahid Rafi said such masses are sometimes created by the movement of gases locked in the earth that push mud up to the surface.

“That big shock beneath the earth causes a lot of disturbance,” he said.

He said these types of islands can remain for a long time or eventually subside back into the ocean, depending on their makeup.

He warned residents not to visit the island because it was emitting dangerous gases.

But dozens of people went anyway, including the deputy commissioner of Gwadar district, Tufail Baloch.

Water bubbled along the edges of the island.

The land was stable but the air smelled of gas that caught fire when people lit cigarettes, Baloch said.

Dead fish floated on the water’s surface while local residents visited the island and took stones as souvenirs, he added.

Similar land masses appeared off Pakistan’s coast following quakes in 1999 and 2010, said Muhammed Arshad, a hydrographer with the navy. They eventually disappeared back into the sea during the rainy season.

Troy to host Miamisburg Friday DAVID FONG Executive Editor

TROY — Considering all the outside factors — homecoming, the potential for playoff computer points, the chance to gain momentum heading into division play and the frustration over the way last year’s game ended — the Troy football team’s game with Miamisburg Friday at Troy Memorial Stadium may be the biggest on the Trojans’ schedule through the first five weeks of the season.

“This is a big game for a number of reasons,” Troy coach Scot

Brewer said. “The No. 1 reason is the way we lost last season by one point. We had our chances to win but just couldn’t get it done.

Second, I think this is just a game we want to win really bad. We know how good they are, and I think they know how good they are. This is a big game for us.”

So far this season, Troy’s wins have come against Xenia (1-3) and Springfield (0-4), two teams with a combined record of 1-7.

Trojans Among the elite rebound Trojans win North, 4th overall in GWOC vs. Rams Staff Reports

ARCANUM — The Troy girls golf team showed just how far it had come.

And found itself in some pretty elite company in the process.

The Troj ans remained the reigning Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division champions after Wednesday’s postseason GWOC Tournament at Beechwood Golf Course, shooting a 386 as a team to take fourth place overall.

Troy — which won the North portion of the preseason GWOC Tournament and went undefeated through division play during the regular season — actually tied with GWOC North rival Greenville for fourth overall, but the Trojans won on a fifth-score tiebreaker to put away the division championship.

“I’m proud of the girls for winning the division title,” Troy coach Tom Mercer said. “That was one of our goals this season.

We won the North at the preseason tournament and went undefeated during duals in the regular season.”

Centerville won the tournament with a 327, Springboro was second with a 356 and Miamisburg was third with 373.

Staff Reports

TROTWOOD — In years past, the best way to rebound from a 4-0 loss may have been seeing Trotwood next on the schedule.

Not this season.

Still, the Troy Trojans scored three goals in the first 10 minutes Wednesday night on the road and held off a Rams team that entered the night on a three-game winning streak, holding on for a 4-0 Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division victory.

“Trotwood is a better team than a lot of people think,” Troy girls soccer coach Michael Rasey said.

“They’re an athletic team, they have a couple players that know how to play the game and their coach has them playing an aggressive style. They were probably the most physical team we’ve played all season.”

But with 34:48 left in the Staff photos/Anthony Weber Troy’s Caitlin Dowling hits an approach shot to the green at the post-GWOC first half, Gracie Huffman scored on an assist from Tournament Wednesday at Beechwood.

Sierra Besecker to give Troy the lead, then little more than two minutes later Ashley Litrell scored on an assist from Kina Sekito. With 31:12 left in the half, Huffman got her second goal with a feed from Sekito to make it 3-0 going into halftime.

Sekito added an insurance goal by knocking home a direct kick with 10 minutes left in the game.

Troy (5-4-2, 3-0 GWOC North) travels to Wayne Monday before a huge home showdown against Sidney on Wednesday.

“I think we still haven’t gotten where we need to be,” Rasey said. “We still have a ways to go to defend our title in the North and make a run in the tournament. We’ve Troy’s Ali Helman follows through on a drive during the postseason Greater got some work to do.”

Mets spoil Reds’ hopes in NL Central

Josh Brown

VERSAILLES — Tippecanoe’s battles with Versailles early in the season paid off Wednesday.

But Lindsey Murray made sure she finished in a familiar position.

The Red Devil senior was the individual sectional champion and her teammates followed up with great performances themselves as Tippecanoe won the Division II sectional title Wednesday with a team score of 341 at Stillwater Valley in Versailles.

The host Tigers were the runners-up with a

356.

Murray shot a 76 to claim medalist honors for the 22nd time in her career. Versailles’ Brooke Wehrkamp was second with a 79.

Erika Brownlee and Tori Merrick each shot 88 for the Red Devils, and Ally Chitwood capped off the scoring with an 89. Samme Rowland added a 105.

“This marked the first time that all four scores were in the 80s or lower,” Tippecanoe coach Scott Murray said. “Lindsey was the medalist for the 22nd time in her career, and Ally chose a great day to have her lowest

18-hole round of the year.”

The Red Devils advance to next week’s district tournament at Pipestone on Oct. 2 looking for a chance to qualify for the state tournament.

Versailles also qualified for the district tournament as a team, as did Fort Loramie (368) and Indian Lake Civitas Media photo/Rob Kiser (382).

Red Devils top Warriors Staff Reports

TIPP CITY — The Tippecanoe tennis team scored an upset of sorts — and in convincing fashion — on Wednesday, handing Northwestern only its second loss of the season in a 4-1 Red Devil victory.

Two Devils rallied after dropping the first set to score victories. At first singles, Hailey Winblad defeated Brittany Hart 2-6, 6-2, 6-3. And at second singles, Taylor Sutton defeated Ellen Snyder 2-6, 6-4, 4-1 (ret.).

Supinger defeated Addie Smith 6-2, 6-2. At first doubles, Katie Gross and Kennedy Reeder defeated Allison Sigler and Hannah Frasco 6-3, 6-2.

Tippecanoe’s lone loss came at second doubles, where Jenna Collins and Mallory Reynolds lost to Gracyn Leep and Shelby Lindner 6-2, 6-1.

Tippecanoe finished the regular season 11-6 and will now prepare for sectional tournament play.

2 — meaning not only could Troy potentially pick up a computer points boost against a Division I school, but it also could earn a sizable measure of respect throughout the area.

Add in the fact Troy lost a heartbreaker last season — the Trojans moved the ball but failed to convert twice in the red zone and couldn’t punch in a two-point conversion late in the game, a 7-6 loss — and this has the potential to be a huge contest for the Trojans.

Under coach Steve Channel — who put together an illustrious 21-year career at Edgewood that included a 152-79 record, 11 conference titles, 10 playoff appearances, four state semifinal appearances and the 2003 Division II state championship game — the Vikings are in the midst of a football renaissance. After going a combined 9-41 in the five-year period before Channel arrived, the Vikings went 7-3 last year in his first season at the helm.

“They’ve got a good team,” Brewer said.

“They are big and powerful and they run their wing-t offense perfectly.”

While Troy’s offense runs almost exclusively through tailback Miles Hibbler — who has carried the ball 83 times in Troy’s last two games — the Vikings rely on a number of running backs to carry the ball.

At first doubles, Julia Harrelson and Sarah Gravunder lost to Emily and Olivia Simons 6-1, 6-3. At second doubles, Meghan Burner and Elaina Snyder lost to Mattie Carter and Alicia Gallegos-Ayala 6-1, 7-5.

Chris Young leads Miamisburg with 47 carries for 404 yards and five touchdowns.

Camryn Snow has 35 carries for 294 yards and four touchdowns. Chris Yerkins has 38 carries for 258 yards and three touchdowns.

“We are a lot alike in a lot of ways — they just distribute the ball to different guys and we are more likely to give the ball to one guy,” Brewer said. “Both teams are going to try to pound the ball. Both teams are going to try to control the clock and keep the ball away from the other team’s offense.

We know they are going to load the box up to try to stop us. We’ve got to be smart with our play calls.”

Troy’s defense — which struggled mightily through the first three games of the season — turned in what was, by far, its best performance of the year in a 21-20 win over Springfield last week. Troy’s defense gave up just two touchdowns — a third came against Troy’s special teams on a kickoff return — and shut out the Wildcats in the second half.

“We made some improvements,” Brewer said. “We’ve got to do that again this week.

We’ve got to keep getting better every week.

Miamisburg is going to pose a different kind of test for us this week. We’ve got to be ready for them.”

Reds’ division hopes dashed

GGRAND RAND OOPENING! PENING!

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Reds failed to come up with the run they needed to West Market Street & Lincoln Avenue, Troy keep their hopes of a division championship alive. They still hope to play the NL Saturday, September 28 wild card game at home.

Sunday, September 29 Daisuke Matsuzaka scattered four hits 11am – 7pm in 7 2-3 shutout innings to win his third consecutive start, outdueling Cincinnati’s FREE FOOD! Mat Latos in the New York Mets’ 1-0 victory over the Reds on Wednesday.

The Reds came into the game in third place in the Central Division and second in the wild-card standings, one game behind Pittsburgh.

Cardinals own the tiebreaker by winning the season series 11-8.

Eric Young Jr. drove in the only run for the Mets, who won two of three in the series.

“We have to find a way to get that big hit,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said.

“This team (Reds) seems to take the hard road most of the time.

“It is very important to have the homefield advantage but it’s not impossible no matter where you play.”

Baker isn’t worried about the team’s “sense of urgency.”

“No matter how urgent you feel, you can’t hit the ball where you want to,” he said. “If you could do that, you could feel the sense of urgency and get it done all the time. I think people use that term too much. Go into that clubhouse. You will see the guys are down but not out.

“It’s OK to be down, just don’t stay down. Anybody that has played sports knows that urgency does not help you.

evened his record after three losses and a no-decision in his first four starts after joining the Mets in August.

He left the game with a runner on second and two outs in the eighth. Pedro Feliciano came on to walk Shin-Soo Choo before getting Joey Votto to fly out to center fielder Juan Lagares for the fourth time in four at bats.

LaTroy Hawkins pitched the ninth for his 13th save.

The shutout loss was Cincinnati’s 11th of the season, after only four last season.

The Mets (73-85) earned their 10th shutout, three fewer than last season, and New York finished its road schedule with a winning record (41-40) — wrapping up a 5-1 trip.

Before a crowd of 26,223, which lifted Cincinnati’s season attendance to a Great American Ball Park-record 2,371,103, the Mets pushed across a run in the third.

Latos hit Wilfredo Tovar to open the inning. Tovar went to second on Matsuzaka’s sacrifice and moved to third on a passed ball before scoring on Young’s single to right through a drawn-in infield.

Matsuzaka made the lead stand up with help from catcher Juan Centeno, who threw out Reds rookie base-stealing sensation Billy Hamilton, who was trying to swipe second with two outs in the fifth inning. Hamilton had been successful on his previous 13 attempts, and Centeno caught him without the assistance of a pitchout.

“The catcher put the ball right on the toe,” Baker said. “Daisuke varied his delivery. He went to a slide step. It was going to happen sometime, and that’s what it takes.”

Latos (14-7) allowed four hits and one run with two walks and seven strikeouts in seven innings. He also hit two batters in slipping to 0-2 in four starts since his last win on Sept. 2 against St. Louis.
