New bridge to open Oct. 16 Opening delayed by just one day BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com

Tippecanoe has plenty of options at running back for every possible situation. And when it needs a home-run hitter, they hand the ball to Cameron Johnson

The new Adams Street Bridge is on track to be open in midOctober, after only a very slight delay, said the Ohio Department of Transportation project manager. “It got changed by one day. We originally said Oct. 15, and now

it’s Oct. 16,” said Starli Bartlett of ODOT. “Basically at the beginning, we had a delay with bringing utilities and needed an extra day added on.” Last spring, engineers expected it to be completed by November. Contractor Eagle Bridge Co. of Sidney was told to make Oct. 16 the completion date, Bartlett said, though there’s a chance the

TROY bridge could open earlier. On Thursday through the rest of the week, crews will be finishing up the last sections of sidewalk, putting up light poles, doing some touch-up painting and planting grass seed. “It’s just a lot of little things,” Bartlett said. The new bridge will feature two 24-foot-wide vehicular lanes,

a 12-foot-wide bike path and a 5foot-wide sidewalk. For increased safety, the bike path and sidewalk will be raised about a half foot taller than the roadway. “One of the best things is the path across the bridge. The previous bridge just had sidewalk and two lanes of traffic,” Bartlett explained. Estimated costs for the bridge are $9 million, with $7.1 million

TIPP CITY

Tipp City is welcoming autumn with its annual Mum Festival this weekend. This year’s theme is “Vintage Mums … Long Live the ’50s.” The event kicks off at 4 p.m. today with the 21st annual Antique Car Cruise-In/Street Dance. Many of the downtown merchants will have extended hours. Saturday features a parade down Main Street at 10 a.m. with

Parade • CONTINUED FROM A1 The mum-covered floats continued until the festival had to be moved to September because of the weather. Mums naturally bloom in mid-October (the genetic programming and special shading is what forces certain breeds to bloom early). “I loved the floats made out of mums and flowers,” Tom Jr.’s daughter Susie said. “They were gorgeous.” Jim remembers the hard work that went into making one of those floats. “The night or two before, you’d be up all night,” he says with a smile. The parade also used to have even more bands in it, because there was a band show afterwards. Twenty or more bands would march in the parade, then go out to the football field for an invitational. “The bands were a big deal,” Kate said. Now, the park is filled with vendors, booth and other entertainment. The band show has become a separate program entirely, held this year Sept. 15. Another entity that has grown and moved is the Queen’s Pageant. June was one of the orginal committee members for the pageant. She said it used to be just a day or two before the festival itself and a smaller production.

JUNE’S FAVORITE MUM MEMORY The first Mum Festival, the committee sold chances for a ride in a Tin Lizzy. June took her then three children, Jennifer Peters, Thom Grim and Dave Grim, to the park to see the festivities. Thom was a toddler and begged his mom to purchase a chance. Well, when his mom finally agreed, it became apparent that Thom thought a chance meant they actually got the vehicle. When he became upset, Tom Kyle Jr. came over. After finding out the situation, he asked “Would it make him happy if I took a him for a ride in the vehicle?” And then he took all three kids for a ride in that Tin Lizzy around the football field.

“It’s just evolved,” June said. Although the Mum Festival has ‘blossomed’ and changed across the board, it still remains a place for Tipp City to celebrate each other and their community — and get those firemen’s waffles to boot.

Bridge • CONTINUED FROM A1 offset by federal grants and an additional $988,000 offset by Ohio Public Works Commission grant. The city of Troy is paying about $200,000 of the total cost, and Miami County is contributing as well. Bartlett said residents appear excited

for the new bridge, as she has fielded several questions related to how the bridge was constructed and when it will be open. “I hope everybody in town just really enjoys the bridge once it’s finished,” Bartlett said. The project commenced on June 6, 2011, though plans began in 2007 to replace the ailing structure.

Iraq lawmakers pick commission elections BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq’s parliament selected on Thursday the ninth and final member of the country’s new election commission that is to be in charge of the upcoming provincial and general elections. The 2013 provincial and the 2014 general vote are expected to shape Iraq’s future following the withdrawal of U.S. troops last December. The balloting will likely come against the backdrop of intense politi-

cal struggles among Iraq’s diverse religious and ethnic groups. Lawmaker Muqdad alShuraifi, a member of the new election commission, said legislators on Thursday chose Turkoman Kulshan representative Kamal as the body’s ninth member. Last week, parliament approved the other eight members but stalled on the ninth because various blocs could not agree on whether to choose a Christian or a Turkoman. The Independent High Electoral Commission is considered one of Iraq’s more powerful institutions. The previous commission found itself for months entangled in a heated political debate after the 2010 parliamentary elections. A Sunni-backed bloc narrowly won the most seats in those elections. Although it was not enough to secure an

overall majority, its strong showing was a surprise in the Shiite-dominated country. Supporters of Shiite Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki repeatedly demanded recounts and complained the vote was plagued with fraud. International observers called the vote and ballot count fair. After a torturous recount, also supervised by the IHEC, the original results were widely found to be accurate. Al-Maliki eventually kept his job after managing to form a broader Shiite collation. The previous panel also faced corruption charges against some of its members, including commission chief Faraj Al-Haidari. Shiite lawmaker Ali alAllaq said 7,800 people applied for jobs on the new commission and nine were selected from 60 finalists.

NATO rebuilding partner operations with Afghanistan WASHINGTON (AP) — Most U.S. and coalition combat units in Afghanistan have returned to their practice of partnering with Afghan forces, nearly two weeks after the top U.S. commander put restrictions on such arrangements, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Thursday. Speaking at a Pentagon news conference, Panetta provided no statistics on the change or any details on why partnering has returned to normal in most cases. The limitations had been set by Gen. John Allen on Sept. 16 after a string of deadly insider attacks against coalition forces, and amid concern about Afghan backlash over an anti-Islam video. As of Thursday, well more than half the operations included both coalition and Afghan forces, according to a U.S. defense official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to release details. That compares to 90 percent of operations that included NATO and Afghan troops before the new restrictions that were implemented nearly two weeks ago. U.S. officials have said that when they first began to use the new approval process, U.S.-Afghan joint operations fell off significantly, but the approval process is beginning to work more smoothly. A spike in insider attacks where Afghan forces or insurgents wearing their uniforms turned their guns on their NATO counterparts led commanders to limit when certain coalition and Afghan troops could patrol or work together. Under the new directive, partnered operations such as patrols or the manning of outposts with small-sized units now must be approved by the senior regional commander. Since Allen issued the directive, there has been one non-fatal insider attack, on Sept. 17. There have been 51 deaths attributed to insider attacks this year. “The Taliban is clearly trying to split us apart, but it won’t work,” Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said during the press conference

with Panetta. “They’re working to weaken the coalition and that won’t work either.” Dempsey, who revealed he had just made a quick trip to Afghanistan to evaluate the situation, said he returned “with a renewed sense that we can lower the risk of the insider threat.” The chairman’s stealthy trip, however, underscored how worried U.S. officials were that the insider attacks could erode trust between the coalition and Afghan forces and possibly derail the war strategy. He said he went there to find out “whether our campaign plan was still on track.” After talking to commanders, he said the military can achieve its objectives in Afghanistan. In order to approve the mission under the new rules, commanders must review all of the risks and benefits of the operation and decide whether it is worth the risk of the mission as well as an insider attack. The plan for the operation also must include the additional steps the unit will take to safeguard the troops. In some cases, the steps involve adding more guards or identifying specific points in the mission where the troops could be at greater risk, and then taking precautions to mitigate those risks. Commanders also have ordered American troops to carry loaded weapons at all times in Afghanistan, even when they are on their bases. Troops also are told where to gather if there is an incident and have rehearsed what they should do. According to senior defense and military leaders, the new restrictions were a necessary but temporary measure. And they expect that slowly, the operations will return to the normal numbers, although the additional safety precautions may likely continue. Officials did not know exactly how low the number of partnered operations dropped in the initial days of the restrictions, but they said the number has been slowly growing as commanders get more familiar with the risk assessment process.

FYI

Rivals collide in CBC blood drive Annual Troy-Piqua challenge under way DAYTON — Those Miami County rivals are at it again. The annual US Bank, Community Blood Center Troy-Piqua Challenge Blood Drive is underway with a new show of determination for recruiting the most donors for the blood drive and scoring the most points on the football field. The two communities shared bragging rights last year with Piqua claiming the blood drive title and Troy winning the rivalry game. It was the same split the year before, but this year each side is hoping for a sweep. High School Troy launched the competition with a campus blood drive on Monday. “At the end of the day, if we generate more pints of blood, whether we win or lose, it’s still positive for the Community Blood Center,” said Troy High School’s Principal Bill Overla. “It’s a healthy competition. If you live in this community and know anything about this rivalry, you just want to win.” Piqua High School followed with its campus blood drive on Wednesday, Sept. 26. “I’m excited over the amazing turnout with our students willing to donate and the positive effect it has on our community,” said Piqua High School Principal Tony Lyons who has seen his school help win the blood drive competition the last two years. “Win or lose, it’s nice for the community.” The community blood drives at the US Bank branches follow the high school drives and will help determine the champion. The US Bank Troy branch will host a drive Oct. 1, followed by the US Bank

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Los Angeles Times on America’s detainee problem: In a conventional war, enemy soldiers can be captured and held as prisoners of war until the end of combat. In the criminal justice system, an arrest for a violent crime will lead to a charge, followed by a guilty plea or jury trial. But some individuals imprisoned in the war on terror declared after the 9/11 attacks face the worst of both worlds: detention without trial but without the consolation that they will be freed and returned to their families in a tolerable period of time. Someone who lived in that twilight world for a decade was Adnan Farhan Abdul Latif, a Yemeni who was captured near the AfghanistanPakistan border in 2001 and held at Guantanamo Bay on suspicion of involvement with Al Qaeda or other enemy forces. Although the number of prisoners at Guantanamo has dwindled, the number of detainees could rise again under legislation passed by Congress last year. The 2012 National Defense Authorization Act purports to be a reaffirmation of the Authorization of Military Force passed by Congress to target the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks. In fact, its reach is broader, authorizing military detention of individuals who belong to or support not only Al As I Qaeda but “associated forces.” Such individuals can See It be put on trial or detained without trial until “the end of the hostilities.” ■ The Troy Could that include U.S. citizens?

The demonstrations have taken place in some 20 countries, and, in Libya, they cost the life of the U.S. ambassador and three members of his staff. The Libyan government has promised to work with the U.S. authorities in tracking down the killers and reportedly has arrested as many as 50 people, some of them foreigners, in connection with the attack. There was some reassuring news when an amateur video surfaced of Libyan civilians rescuing Ambassador Christopher Stevens from the consulate in Benghazi and rushing him to the hospital, cheering “God is great” when they mistakenly thought he had survived. It is a reminder not to judge a country’s people by the worst among them. In those Muslim nations where our embassies and diplomats seem to be under regular threat by impetuous, irrational mobs, it would be a natural reaction to pack up our aid and emissaries and go home. The reaction would be natural — but mistaken. For us to dissociate ourselves or even lower our level of engagement with the Muslim world is to invite even greater problems in the future. Other cultures not steeped in free speech might not understand that our government allows free expression, even when it is offensive to many. Our encouragement of fledgling democracies should include sharing the bedrock principles upon which democracy stands. It will be a tough, thankless task explaining the concept of free expression to people who have never enjoyed that right, but that is not an excuse for not trying. We owe it to those who yearn for democracy, as well as to those of us who have long enjoyed its freedoms.

DOONESBURY

Latest state mandate in education spells disaster Most of you have followed my weekly babblings about my home, my family and our community over the years. You’ve read about my trials and tribulations about being a single mother to my witty and oh-so challenging son Evan, who is a third-grade student. So when I first heard about Ohio’s latest mandate called “Third Grade Guarantee,” my initial reaction was: Shew! This isn’t going to happen next year so Evan is safe. Why am I so elated that my son escaped a state-mandated reading test? Well, because starting next year, if a third grade student doesn’t pass a reading test with a score of at least 390, he/she will be “retained.” Retained is a fancy word for “held back.” My fear with next year’s “Third Grade Guarantee,” is in then “Read at this level or else” clause. In a perfect world, every child would be able to read at a basic level by the time they are 8 years-old. But we don’t live in a perfect world. Instead, Ohio teachers must test students and intervene as early as kindergarten. This fall, kindergarten students were assessed on their reading level with little as 10 days in class. I know we are talking about read-

Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist ing, but did you just do the math? Ten days of instruction and teachers already had to test 5 and 6 year-olds. That doesn’t quite add up. Like all things, some things like reading come naturally and for others it takes years of practice. Sadly, for some kids, many have never been read a book before their first day of kindergarten. Those who are found to be “deficient” must now read for at least 90 minutes a day and be under the direction of a “high-performing” teacher. Aren’t all teachers supposed to be “high-performing?” So the state of Ohio wants to up the stakes and reintroduce “retention,” which it believes will miraculously end reading problems in our great state by having those who struggle with reading repeat the third

— Ron Erwin Troy

grade all over again. Oh, and the state hasn’t even agreed on which type of reading test your child should take to determine this score yet. Genius right? Now personally, the only thing I can “guarantee” about this “Third Grade Guarantee” is higher dropout rates later on the line and only spells “disaster” later. I can only draw this conclusion from my own personal experience. Like many of our elected state officials, I’m not a professional in the world of education, but I too, can also freely voice my opinion on this latest mandate. Millions of years ago, I can still remember being in class with kids who were held back. Some were held back in first grade, third grade and in junior high. Many came from struggling homes, held jobs in school and were more or less mischievous, often bored during the school day. Yes, some of them graduated, some of them excelled in their classes at the career center. There were also some who barely scraped by with summer school and a few, sadly, dropped out in high school. Yet, of those I still know personally, the majority of those who were “held back” are thriving in today’s society. They mostly found

skilled labor jobs such as landscaping, construction and are making more money than I ever will. They adapted. Do their careers today rely heavily on reading and writing? For most of them, no. Does that make them any less successful in society? Not one bit. I can’t answer for any of them, but despite being held back, you could see how they continued to struggle all the way to our senior year. Many had a lack of academic drive and showed up to school mainly to play sports, socialize and “just make it through” with the help of programs and special teachers. Almost all of them disliked school for one reason or another. It was hard, it was uncomfortable at times but they aren’t any less productive than those who found school easy. I really hate to see education take a step backwards in this latest mandate by reintroducing retention in the third grade. Sorry. I just couldn’t hold back my feelings about this “Third Grade Guarantee” any longer.

POLICE REPORTS Information provided by the Miami County Sheriff’s Office: Sept. 23 • Spikes stop speeder: While on patrol of Piqua-Troy Road and Troy Urbana Road, officers responded to the Troy Police Department attempting to stop a red truck traveling north bound. Officials followed Jennifer Hiser, 32, of Piqua, with sirens and lights to Polecat Road at speeds of more than 85 miles per hour.

Ronald Berner said he was at the stop sign on Worley Road and State Route 571 when a blue Chevrolet Blazer backed up into the front of his vehicle. Mr. Berner said the subject then drove off and he followed the vehicle to 2490 W. State Route 571. Mr. Berner confronted the owner, Donald Behr, who was trying to clean off the evidence off his vehicle. Officers noted damage to Behr’s vehicle. Officers asked if Behr was involved in the incident, which he denied. After several minutes of questioning, Behr said, “Some guy just bumped me” and it was “no big deal.” Mr. Behr continued to say it was he who was rear-ended and he was being a “nice guy” by leaving the scene. Behr denied getting in an altercation with Berner despite scratches on his hand. Behr became angry and refused to sit in the back of the sheriff ’s cruiser until the investi-

‘Pink Panther’ actor Lom dead at age 95

AREA BRIEFS

An Oct. 28, 1955 photo from files showing British actor Herbert Lom at London Airport prior to his departure to Rome, to continue filming ‘War and Peace.’ think of, Lom had his first major movie role as Napoleon in 1942’s “The Young Mr. Pitt.” He played a psychiatrist counseling a traumatized pianist in “The Seventh Veil,” a big boxoffice hit in 1945, and had roles opposite Richard Widmark, in the moody “Night and the City” (1950), Henry Fonda in “War and Peace” Lom was Napoleon again and a pre-James Bond Sean Connery in truck-driving thriller “Hell Drivers” (1957). In the comedy “The Ladykillers” (1955), one of the best-loved British films of the 1950s, Lom played a member of a ruthless crime gang fatally outsmarted by a mildmannered old lady. Horror roles included

the title character in Hammer Studios’ “The Phantom of the Opera” in 1962, and Van Helsing in 1970’s “Count Dracula,” opposite Christopher Lee. A postwar American career was stymied when Lom was denied a visa he suspected because of his left-wing views though he later appeared on U.S. TV series including “The Streets Of San Francisco” and “Hawaii Five-O.” In the 1950s, Lom also had stage success playing the King of Siam in the original London production of the “The King And I” at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, opposite Valerie Hobson. Lom is survived by his sons Nicholas and Alec, and his daughter Josephine named after Napoleon’s wife.

The Triumphant Quartet comes to West Milton on Oct. 6. a gospel concert 7 p.m. Oct. 6. “I have chosen Triumphant Quartet for this year’s concert simply because I have seen them perform a number of times and really enjoy their style of Southern gospel music,” David Hayes of Hoffman United Methodist Church said. Triumphant Quartet comes from a little farther down south than Small Town Singers — Sevierville, Tenn. The allmale group is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and specializes in Southern gospel harmonies. They have received several awards, including a nod from the Grammys in 2009 for Best Southern, Country or Bluegrass Gospel Album for their release “Everyday.” Their current recording, “Songs from the Heart,” came from each member of the group. Each member wrote two songs. According to its website, Triumphant has just received their third number one song, “Almost Home,” written by Scotty Inman. Also climbing the charts is their second single release, “Let’s All Stand for America,” written by David Sutton, from this same project. Hayes noted that the concert is meant to encourage the community. “We do these concerts basically for the ministry it brings to the area,” he said. Tickets are $15 and can be ordered from David Hayes, 230 Wagner Road, West Milton, OH 45383. Checks should be made payable to Hoffman United Methodist Church and a stamped self-addressed envelope is appreciated for mail orders. Two free tickets may be received for every 15 ordered.

Dearly Departed

2314556

The town of West Milton will be host to two gospel talents in the upcoming month. The Small Town Singers will perform at Overland Park, while Triumphant Quartet makes a special appearance at Hoffman United Methodist Church. Small Town Singers originate from Willard, Ohio, and consist of six vocalists. The group includes a D.J., legal clerk, youth group leader, school music director, sixth-grade teacher, professional tenor and a student. The three guys and three girls range in age from 14 to 54. The one thing they have in common is they all love music and they love an audience. “I have seen how the group affects the audience; people consider them friends by the end of a performance,” Sandra Lutz, grandmother of one of the members of Small Town Singers, said. They will perform a gospel show at Overland, and a “Doo-Wop Oldies But Goodies” show at Staunton Grange in Troy. At both performances, their first time in the Miami County area, Small Town Singers will donate 20 percent of ticket sales to the Healthy Miami County Fund. The fund is used to support the county’s health department, Miami County Public Health. “It has been the Small Town Singers’ philosophy that when talents and gifts are given, it is only right to give a portion back,” said Lutz, Miami County Public Health administrative assistant. Small Town Singers will put on a gospel show at the Sarver’s Barn Overlook Park, 444 N. Miami St. at 2 p.m. Sept. 30. The oldies show will be the day before at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 29 at Staunton Grange, 1530 N. Market St., Troy. Tickets are $10 and can be ordered from Small Town Singers, care of Sandra Lutz, 936 Crestview Drive, Troy, OH 45373. Checks should be made payable to Steve Chambers.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Ethan has moved on; it’s time for you to do the same Dear Annie: My boyfriend of seven months recently ended things suddenly. "Ethan" is Mormon, and I'm Lutheran. We were planning a future together. Ethan claims he wants to go on a mission and cannot prepare to do God's work while having a girlfriend. He said we could still be friends. But here's the thing. He started hanging out with "Susan" the same month he broke up with me. He told me she was a "new friend" and also Mormon. He denied there was anything between them. I am having trouble moving on because I don't feel Ethan is telling me the truth. He's already ripped out my heart. The least he can do is be honest. Right now, he barely acts like an acquaintance, let alone a friend. I've lost sleep over this. What should I do? — Confused in California Dear Confused: While Ethan is undoubtedly being honest about his upcoming missionary trip, we think he is being less so about the breakup. At least part of that has to do with your religious differences and his new interest in Susan. This is surely what you already suspect. We wish Ethan had the courage to come clean, but don't count on it. Accept that your relationship has run its course. Regardless of his next move, yours should be to put him behind you. Dear Annie: My mother gives each of her kids and grandkids a specific amount of money for Christmas. As far as any of us knew, it has always been an equal amount. Last Christmas, two grandchildren received more money. The others found out and were hurt. Those two grandchildren lost their father last year. As saddened as we were over the loss, we feel this should have nothing to do with the money received from Grandma. After all, my sister's family is well off and not in need of anything. We also have noticed that Mom pays for a lot of things for our sister and her kids, including their hotels and plane fares, while the rest of us pay our own way. Please understand that we expect to pay for our own, but how come our sister is taking advantage of Mom's money? Those kids want for nothing and have all of the latest gadgets that they pay for themselves when Mom isn't around. We know Mom can do what she pleases with her money, but do we have the right to let her know how much it hurts our kids that she favors their cousins? — Trying To Avoid a Christmas Circus this Year Dear Trying: We don't think Mom favors the cousins. We think she feels sorry for them because their father died, and she is trying to make it up to them the only way she can. It's OK to tell her that the other grandchildren have noticed and are hurt. What she does with that information is up to her. Dear Annie: This is in response to "Single Too Long," the 45-year-old man who has had no luck with the social scene. You suggested he ask his friends and family to critique him. He is not at fault. There are a number of us out there who have plenty to offer. The shame of it is that there are women who don't want what we have. I say don't change anything. Be true to yourself. Be uncompromising. Make them measure up to you, not the other way around. — G. Dear G.: There are plenty of men and women who are perfectly lovely, but can't find a date. But if you keep doing the same things, you will get the same results. An honest critique could help assess whether you come across as too strong, too weak, appear unkempt, talk about yourself too much, etc. No one should be resistant to change. There is always room for improvement. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Hints from Heloise Columnist Incorporate things you wouldn’t normally use — lollipops, hats, rocks or anything you can find. Decorating is what you make of it, so have fun and try new things! — Heloise THREAD COUNT Dear Heloise: What does thread count mean? And what should I look for when buying

sheets? — A Reader, via email The number of threads per square inch of fabric is what determines thread count. Generally, the higher the thread count, the softer the sheet, but that is not always the case. Also, consider the fiber (cotton, silk, etc.). Be aware that a sheet with a smaller thread count made with better-quality fibers might feel softer than a higher thread count with lower-quality fibers. Consider finishing also. Most sheets go through a finishing process to help them not shrink, pill or wrinkle. A lesser-quality set may not have been finished thoroughly. — Heloise

TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: I booked a hotel online and received a confirmation email, with a confirmation number, dates and charges, which were prepaid. When we arrived, the hotel did not have our reservation and had no rooms available. I gave the hotel staff the confirmation email to show that I had prepaid. They apologized, got us a room at a hotel across the street and gave us our money back, but it still was an inconvenience. I am glad I brought the confirmation email, but next time I am going to call the hotel beforehand and make sure it has our reservation. — A Reader in Florida

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, Sept. 29, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Upsets between partners and close friends are likely today. Some friendships will end because one of you wants his or her freedom. (Could be you; could be someone else.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Interruptions at work are unavoidable today. Expect computer crashes, power outages, broken equipment, staff shortages and canceled meetings. Yikes! GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This definitely is an accident-prone day for your children or for children in your care; therefore, be extra vigilant. Be mindful of potential hazards. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Domestic arguments, as well as the breakdown of small appliances or minor breakages, definitely will upset your home routine today. Just cope as best you can. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an accident-prone day, so take it easy. Keep the eyes in the back of your head wide open! Forewarned is forearmed. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Financial upsets are highly likely today. Check your bank balance. Make sure you know what bills might be overdue. Interruptions to cash flow could happen. (Groan.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Arguments and unexpected events will totally change your daily routine today. Someone likely will do something that really surprises you. In fact, a friendship might end now. (Possibly, you will meet someone quite unusual today.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Something out of the blue will make you sit up and take notice at work today. It could be someone who is unusual or bizarre, or surprising news could catch you off-guard. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Romance is rocky today. Even relationships with children are potentially explosive. Demonstrate grace under pressure. (Keep things light.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Difficulties with authority figures are par for the course today. Don’t get your belly in a rash. Just accept what is happening, and work to the best of your ability within this situation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Avoid controversial subjects with others today, because people are touchy and explosive! Don’t try to persuade others to see things your way. Remember that the quickest way to end an argument is to agree. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might find money today; you might lose money. You also might lose something you own due to breakage, theft or misplacing it. Be alert so that you can avoid regrets about your money and possessions. YOU BORN TODAY You’re extremely capable, and many of you develop a particular talent or technique. Because you strive for stability, you value family. You function well in all group settings, although a lot of excitement seems to swirl around you! You are both very relaxed and very intense. You love to make plans for the future. In the year ahead, you will study or learn something valuable. Birthdate of: Russell Peters, comedian; Jerry Lee Lewis, singer/pianist; Carol Welsman, jazz vocalist.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Friday, Sept. 28, the 272nd day of 2012. There are 94 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 28, 1787, the Congress of the Confederation voted to send the just-completed Constitution of the United States to state legislatures for their approval. On this date: • In 1066, William the Conqueror invaded England to claim the English throne. • In 1920, eight members of the Chicago White Sox were indicted for allegedly throwing the 1919 World

Series against the Cincinnati Reds. (All were acquitted at trial, but all eight were banned from the game for life.) • In 1924, three U.S. Army planes landed in Seattle, having completed the first round-the-world trip by air in 175 days. • In 1989, deposed Philippine President Ferdinand E. Marcos died in exile in Hawaii at age 72. • One year ago: The Obama administration formally appealed a federal appeals court ruling striking down a key provision of President Barack Obama’s health care law

requiring Americans to buy health insurance or pay a penalty. (The U.S. Supreme Court later upheld the individual mandate.) • Today’s Birthdays: Actress Brigitte Bardot is 78. Singer Ben E. King is 74. Actor Joel Higgins is 69. Actress-comedian Janeane Garofalo is 48. Actress Mira Sorvino is 45. TV personality Moon Zappa is 45. Actress Naomi Watts is 44. Rapper Young Jeezy is 35. World Golf Hall of Famer Se Ri Pak is 35. Writer-producer-director-actor Bam Margera is 33. Actress Hilary Duff is 25. Actress Skye McCole Bartusiak is 20.

Obama talks jobs on campaign trail VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — President Barack Obama pledged to create many more jobs and “make the middle class secure again” in a campaign-closing appeal on Thursday more than five weeks before Election Day to voters already casting ballots in large numbers. Republican Mitt Romney, focusing on threats beyond American shores, accused the commander in chief of backing dangerous cuts in defense spending. “The idea of cutting our military is unthinkable and devastating. And when I become president we will not,” declared the challenger, struggling to reverse a slide in opinion polls. Romney and Obama campaigned a few hundred miles apart in Virginia, 40 days before their long race ends. They’ll be in much closer quarters next Wednesday in Denver for the first of three presidential debates on the campaign calendar and perhaps the challenger’s best remaining chance to change the trajectory of the campaign. In a race where the economy is the dominant issue, there was a fresh sign of national weakness as the Commerce Department lowered its earlier estimate of tepid growth last spring. Romney and his allies seized on the news as evidence that Obama’s policies aren’t working. There was good news for the president in the form of a survey by The Washington Post and Kaiser Family Foundation suggesting he has gained ground among older voters after a monthlong ad war over Republican plans for Medicare. The pace also was quickening in the struggle for control of the U.S. Senate. Prominent Republican conservatives pledged financial and political support for Rep. Todd Akin in Missouri. That complicated Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill’s bid for re-elec-

tion. But it also left Romney, running mate Paul Ryan and the rest of the GOP hierarchy in an awkward position after they tried unsuccessfully to push Akin off the ballot in the wake of his controversial comments about rape. Farther west, in Arizona, Republican Rep. Jeff Flake unleashed an ad calling Democratic rival Richard Carmona “Barack Obama’s rubberstamp.” It was not meant as a compliment in a state seemingly headed Romney’s way, a response for sure to Democratic claims that the Senate contest was unexpectedly close. In the presidential race, early voting has already begun in Virginia as well as South Dakota, Idaho and Vermont. It began during the day in Wyoming as well as in Iowa, like Virginia one of the most highly contested states. Early voters had formed a line a half block long in Des Moines before the elections office opened at 8 a.m. Campaigning in Virginia Beach, Obama said, “It’s time for a new economic patriotism, an economic patriotism rooted in the belief that growing our economy begins with a strong and thriving middle class.” It was a line straight from the two-minute television commercial his campaign released overnight. He said that if re-elected he would back policies to create a million new manufacturing jobs, help businesses double exports and give tax breaks to companies that “invest in America, not ship jobs overseas.” He pledged to cut oil imports in half while doubling the fuel efficiency of cars and trucks, make sure there are 100,000 new teachers trained in math and science, cut the growth of college tuition in half and expand student aid “so more Americans can afford it.” He also touted a “balanced plan to reduce the deficit by $4 trillion,” but he included $1 trillion in reduc-

tions that already have taken place, and he took credit for saving half of the funds budgeted for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that no longer are needed. Obama also said he would “ask the wealthy to pay a little more,” a reference to the tax increase he favors on incomes over $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples. It is perhaps his most fundamental disagreement on policy with Romney, who wants to extend expiring tax cuts at all levels, including the highest. Obama’s campaign put out a second, scathing commercial during the day based on Romney’s recorded comments from last May that 47 percent of Americans don’t pay income taxes and feel

they are victims entitled to government benefits. Romney added that as a candidate his job is not to worry about them. In the ad, Romney’s bynow well-known comments are heard as images scroll by of a white woman with two children in a rural setting, a black woman wearing workplace safety goggles, two older white men wearing Veterans of Foreign Wars hats; a Latino, and finally a white woman with safety goggles each of them meant to portray millions whom Romney described dismissively in the appearance before donors four months ago. Romney countered with two new ads of his own, including one that appeared

designed to minimize political fallout from the videotape. “President Obama and I both care about poor and middle-class families,” he says in a direct appeal to voters. “The difference is my policies will make things better for them. We shouldn’t measure compassion by how many people are on welfare. We should measure compassion by how many people are able to get off welfare and get a good-paying job.” The second ad pointed to comments Obama made four years ago when he said he would support proposals to raise the cost of business for facilities than run on coal. “So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it’s just that it will

bankrupt them,” the thenpresidential candidate is seen saying. The narrator adds: “Obama wages war on coal while we lose jobs to China, which is using more coal every day. Now your job is in danger.” Romney campaigned at an American Legion hall in Springfield, Va., a suburb of Washington, D.C., accusing Obama of supporting cuts in the defense budget that would be detrimental to the nation’s military readiness. “The world is not a safe place. It remains dangerous,” he said, referring to North Korea, Syria, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan. “The idea of cutting our military commitment by a trillion dollars over this decade is unthinkable and devastating.” Appealing for support from his audience, he said, “You realize we have fewer ships in the Navy than any time since 1917. … Our Air Force is older and smaller than any time since 1947, when it was formed. This is unacceptable. And the idea of shrinking our active duty personnel by 100,000 or 200,000 I want to add 100,000 to active duty personnel.” To have a strong military, he said, it’s imperative to have a strong economy, yet he added that growth in China and Russia is stronger than in the United States. He predicted that under Obama, there would be no improvement. “So two — two very different paths. One is the path the president’s proposed, which is the status quo. His is the path of — well, he calls it ‘forward.’ I call it ‘forewarned.’ All right? All right? The $1 trillion Romney mentioned in defense cuts had the support of Republicans and Democrats alike in Congress, although he says GOP lawmakers made a mistake in voting for the reductions and several now want to prevent them from taking effect.

Buccs, Vikings battle for top spot in CCC standings BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com

COVINGTON

Miami East coach Max Current called the portion of the schedule his Vikings are currently in the middle of a “meat grinder.” Covington will finish up its run through that same thing tonight. This game, though, has everything on the line. The 4-1 Vikings travel to Covington to face the undefeated Buccaneers tonight, with both teams boasting matching 4-0 marks and sitting atop the Cross County Conference standings. Both teams know that tonight’s game will likely decide the conference champion. “This is step No. 5 for us in our process of contending for the league title — but I always say that if you’re going to contend for the CCC, you’ve got to go through Covington,” Miami East coach Max Current said. “Right now for us, that’s during Week 6. “Whoever comes out of this game will be looking in good shape in the conference.” Covington (5-0) has yet to truly be challenged this season. After a 27-7 win in their opener

That includes a 56-6 blowout of Bradford — the Railroaders’ only loss on the season — and a 48-14 win over Tri-County North in Week 5. Should the Buccs win, the only true obstacles remaining would be 3-2 Twin Valley South next week and 4-1 National Trail the following week. Miami East, meanwhile, has nothing but teams with winning records left on its schedule. The Vikings take on TriCounty North next week, followed by Bradford, Twin Valley South and National Trail to

There’s a lot of football left.” But before they can worry about of that, there’s the Buccaneers.

WEEK 6

MIAMI COUNTY LEADERS BELLEFONTAINE (1-3, 0-0) at TIPPECANOE (5-0, 0-0): Tippecanoe’s march to the Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division championship begins tonight at home against Bellefontaine. That may sound like a bold statement, but the numbers don’t lie — Tippecanoe averages 48.2 points per game on offense, yet has only given up a grand total of 20 points all season. When it comes down to it, the only thing standing in the way of the Devils is themselves. They have to not buy into the talk and the hype — yes, this talk and this hype — maintain their focus and play each game as if it’s the league title game. MILTON-UNION (4-1, 1-0) at CARLISLE (4-1, 2-0): Last year, MiltonUnion traveled to Waynesville for the Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division title game later in the year. This time around, the potential league title game is in Week 6 — but it’s once again on the road. The Bulldogs travel to Carlisle tonight, and both teams bost a host of returning players from last season. Carlisle has a head start and holds a 2-0 division record — including an overtime win over defending champion Waynesville and a 62-3 rout of winless Northridge. The Indians have won four straight and are the biggest obstacle standing between Milton-Union and its goal of a league title. TWIN VALLEY SOUTH (3-2, 3-1) at BETHEL (1-4, 0-4): Bethel’s 1-4 record couldn’t possibly be more deceiving. A 26-13 loss to Bradford — the second-lowest point total the Railroaders have put up this season — a 28-0 loss to Miami East and a 21-7 loss to Tri-County North in which the score was as tight as 14-7 most of the way. Along with a loss to undefeated Covington, the combined record of the teams the Bees have lost to is 16-4. The fact that tonight is homecoming night throws in a potential distraction for Bethel, but the Bees are still poised to start surprising teams throughout the second half of the season. TRI-COUNTY NORTH (3-2, 3-1) at BRADFORD (4-1, 3-1): Bradford will need to avoid scoreboard-watching tonight, even if the outcome of the Miami East-Covington game definitely could affect the Railroaders’ CCC aspirations. Should the Vikings beat the Buccaneers, Bradford would have a chance to play for a share of the CCC title when it faces Miami East in two weeks. Of course, Bradford would need to win tonight, also — and Tri-County North is still a contender, as well. Covington could make all of that irrelevant with a win tonight, and the ’Roaders and Patriots need to worry about their own business above all. TROTWOOD-MADISON (3-2, 0-0) at PIQUA (2-3, 0-0): After starting the season with two losses in its first three games, the defending Division II State champion Trotwood Rams have started to roll. Standing in their way is 2-3 Piqua — which took Trotwood to the brink last season in a 26-23 barnburner. The Rams needed a game-winning drive in the final minutes — aided by some little yellow flags — to beat the Indians. Piqua will need that kind of effort to stand a chance again. LEHMAN (2-3, 1-1) at WAYNESFIELD GOSHEN (3-2, 2-0): Lehman performed a “Jekyll and Hyde” transformation in the past two weeks. Against Fort Loramie, the Cavaliers were shut out 35-0. Then last week, Lehman held Riverside without even a first down in a 44-0 rout to even up its Northwest Central Conference record. Now they face league-leading Waynesfield-Goshen, which has won three straight — including a 28-20 victory over that same Loramie team. Which Lehman will show up tonight?

The Vikings have only allowed 12 points in CCC play so far in winning four straight games after its 42-14 loss to Milton-Union to open the year. But Current said that last week’s game against Bethel will go a long way in preparing the Vikings for the bruising Buccaneer defense. “The Bethel defense was very

aggressive, very physical,” Current said. “In fact, we may not have played an aggressive, physical defense since MiltonUnion in Week 1. That will help us prepare for a very physical Covington defense. tonight. “That Bethel game, our offense struggled a little. It was like, ‘Hey boys, this is what we’re going to have to do — we’ve got to really step it up against Covington.’” Last season, the two teams entered Week 6’s matchup with matching records, and Covington’s defense dominated in a 19-0 shutout. The Buccs went on to win the CCC and finish the regular season undefeated before falling to Coldwater in the first round of the playoffs. The Vikings, meanwhile, dropped two of their last four after the defeat and finished third in the CCC. “This will be a big game for computer points, also, with both of us in (Division V) Region 20,” Current said. “This will be a big game for either school to be playing in Week 11. “There’s a lot at stake with an old county rival. We look forward to having opportunities to play in games like this. This is the way it should be.”

Troy tops Butler by 1 shot, wins GWOC North Staff Reports ARCANUM — The race for the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division title couldn’t have been closer. But in the end, it was Troy Trojans bringing the GWOC North trophy back to Troy. The Trojans (324) edged rival Butler (325) by one stroke for the top spot in the North, finishing the GWOC Tournament in fifth overall Thursday at Beechwood Golf Course.

MIAMI COUNTY “It was pretty dramatic,” Troy coach Ty Mercer said. “We knew it was going to be close. We were paired together, so it was pretty easy to tell how close it was. Me and the Butler coach are pretty good friends, and we could tell there were only a few shots separating us. “There were tough conditions all day. It pretty much rained all day except for the last three holes. I’m proud of the way the guys fought. There were a lot of times where they could have just threw in the towel, but they hung in there. That was our first

Troy’s Chris Scmitt heads the ball Thursday night against Springboro at Troy Memorial Stadium.The Trojans and Panthers fought their way to a 0-0 tie.

Drawing conclusions Trojans, Panthers battle to scoreless tie Staff Reports TROY — Playing against another good team, the Troy Trojans showed just how good they could be. The result was yet another draw.

The silence in the Brewers’ clubhouse vividly described their plight. One out away from finishing off an impressive shutout, they let a must-win game slip away. And probably the postseason, too. See Page B5.

What a difference Vikings defeat Cavaliers in 4 BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com

Reds play spoiler, rally past Brewers

Two years ago when Miami East played at Lehman, they looked like the new kids on the block. What a difference two years makes. The Vikings, the reigning Division III State champion and the current top-ranked team in the state, took it to the Cavaliers from the start then battled back after Lehman its footing, defeating the current No. 2 team in the state in D-IV in four on the road 25-15, 17-25, 25-19, 25-15. Two years ago, the Vikings (17-0) were swept off of Lehman’s floor in three. The

SIDNEY Cavs went on to win a state championship that season. “We didn’t belong here two years ago. But I wanted the girls to see what they could aspire to be,” Miami East coach John Cash said. “You see all of the banners on the walls here for a reason. (Lehman coach) Greg (Snipes) runs a great program, his kids are always well-trained and ready to play. They’re what teams hope they can become. “Coming into this one, I wanted the girls to remember what happened two years ago — and not to ever, ever let it happen again like that. And the kids did

Thursday’s game ends NFL referees lockout BALTIMORE (AP) — About an hour before kickoff, referee Gene Steratore and his seven-man crew walked on the field in their familiar striped shirts and heard cheers from the early arrivals. A few minutes later, Steratore was shaking hands with Cleveland Browns coach Pat Shurmur near midfield and getting a hug from Baltimore Ravens face-ofthe-franchise Ray Lewis at the 30-yard line. When they walked on the field they received a standing ovation and

doffed their caps to the crowd. Yes, the real refs are back. Official harmony is restored to the NFL. “You know we always pride ourselves in being a face without a name,” Steratore, a 10-year league veteran, told The Associated Press about an hour before kickoff. “This will be a little different, but I don’t expect it to last too long. And that’s the goal is that we can let them get through that portion of this. It’s happy to be back, it’s happy to be appreciated. But then as

soon as the game starts, it’s happy to disappear again and let the entertainers entertain.” Steratore donned his No. 114 referee’s uniform for the first game of Week 4 after three weeks of replacement officials created moments of chaos throughout the league. For a change, everyone on all sides was happy to see the familiar faces they usually love to boo. “The other refs just made dumb calls,” said Jessie Riley, a 15-year-old fan wearing an Ed Reed jersey. “I couldn’t stand

them. Now we won’t get robbed; everything will be fair hopefully.” A lockout of the league’s regular officials ended late Wednesday, two days after a disputed touchdown catch on the last play of “Monday Night Football” brought debate over the use of the replacements to a fevered pitch nationwide. The Seattle Seahawks were awarded the score and a 14-12 win over the Green Bay Packers, a result that Commissioner Roger Goodell acknowledged “may have pushed the parties further along”

in the talks. “Obviously when you go through something like this it is painful for everybody,” Goodell said. “Most importantly, it is painful for our fans. We are sorry to have to put our fans through that, but it is something that in the short term you sometimes have to do to make sure you get the right kind of deal for the long term and make sure you continue to grow the game.” The deal is only tentative it must be ratified by 51 percent of the union’s 121 members in a vote

■ CONTINUED FROM B3 a great job of turning that mentality around.” An early six-point run in Game 1 that included a pair of Leah Dunivan blocks made it 7-1 Miami East, and the teams slugged back and forth from there, never letting each other win more than three consecutive points. A block by Sam Cash on game point put the Vikings up 1-0. But Lehman was far from done. Again with neither team able to go on a lengthy run, the Cavs edged ahead 11-7 after a string of three Miami East hitting errors. And later on when they were up 17-12, the Cavs ran off four straight with the help of a kill by Ellie Cain and back-to-back kills by Andrea Thobe. The Vikings won five straight after that to get back to within four at 2117, but Lehman closed it out on a four-point run — with two more kills coming from Thobe. Thobe finished with a team-high 16 kills. Ellie Waldsmith had seven kills and a block, Olivia Slagle had six kills and a block and Cain had six kills and an ace. It was only the second time all season the Vikings had lost a set — the first being on opening weekend to St. Henry — and they responded like champions. Battling back from an early 5-3 deficit in Game 3, Sam Cash served five straight to give the Vikings an 11-7 lead, and Lehman got no closer than two the rest of the game. “To come on the road and fight back the way we did after getting a little loose and dropping that second set, that showed a lot of moxy and character for our girls,” Cash said. And in the fourth game, they showed their ability to finish. The Vikings scored 16 kills — six coming from Abby Cash — four blocks and an ace to close out the match, picking up only four points on Lehman errors. And Leah Dunivan put down a block on match point — one of a whopping 16 in the match for Miami East — as an exclamation point. “Getting touches was big for us,” Cash said. “Lehman runs a nice tempo offense and tries to break up your block, so when you play a team with speed like that, you want your front row to get touches and slow the ball down to make things easier on your back row.

■ CONTINUED FROM B3 GWOC North title in maybe a decade. We’ve had a lot of second-place finishes in there, so it’s nice to finally get a first. It was a solid team effort.” A pair of underclassmen led the way for Troy as junior Connor Super and sophomore Dalton Cascaden each shot rounds of 77. After shooting a 41 on the front, Super rallied for a 36 on the back. Dalton Cascaden’s path was a little different, though, as he started with a 37 and carded a 40 on the back. Both golfers were named first team All-GWOC North. “Connor has been our No. 1 all year,” Mercer said. “He’s really been consistent. He finished first team All-GWOC North, and placed second behind Shawn Downing (of Butler). That was something we somewhat expected out of Connor. Dalton really got better as the year progressed. He’s turned into a solid No. 2. I’m very proud of both of those guys.” Cam Weaver, Dylan Cascaden and Troy Moore all carded scores of 85. Kaleb Tittle also finished with a 91. Weaver was a first team All-GWOC North selection, while

Miami East’s Sam Cash passes the ball to a teammate Thursday night at Lehman. Cash had 26 assists in the Vikings’ four-game victory. “It’s all about stretching out points, like we’ve always done. We can play out of system for a while until we get the ball that we want. We won 70-75 percent of the long points, and that’s what we want to do.” Abby Cash had a huge night with 18 kills, 18 assists, 10 digs and three aces. Sam Cash added nine kills, 26 assists, seven digs, three blocks and an ace, Trina Current had eight kills, Angie Mack had six kills, eight digs and a block, Dunivan had five kills, six blocks and a dig, Ashley Current had a kill and four blocks, Allison Morrett had two aces, 14 digs and an assist and Allie Millhouse had an ace and 16 digs. Miami East — which last lost to Lehman last season at the Piqua Invitational — will now put its winning streak on the line Saturday at the defending D-II State champion, Bishop Hartley. “The No. 6 team in D-II right now, they probably play the toughest schedule in the state and it’s at their place,” Cash said of Hartley. “But that’s what it’s going to take to get us where we need to be for the playoffs. If you don’t

So Steratore hustled to Baltimore, making the 3hour drive Thursday morning from his home in the Pittsburgh area. He’s usually in place the day before a game, but none of his regular pregame meetings had to be changed because the Browns-Ravens game was at night. “Very elated to be back,” he said. “It feels like being back home.”

Moore and Tittle were named second team. Dylan Cascaden was an honorable mention selection. In the overall team race, Centerville won (299), Springboro was second (316), Beavercreek placed third (321) and Miamisburg got fourth (322). • Milton-Union’s Smedley Moves On SPRINGFIELD — Milton-Union failed to advance by finishing sixth in the Division II Sectional tournament at Reid Park on Thursday, but Joey Smedley finished third individually to qualify for the district tournament.

COLUMBUS (AP) — The days when Ohio State regularly entertained a Mid-American Conference school may be coming to an end because of the new FBS playoff system. Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said the four-team FBS playoff may mean fewer games against MAC teams. “We’re changing our philosophy because we’re obviously going to move into a playoff structure that I don’t think all of us really understand yet, how the committee’s going to work,” Smith said earlier this week. “Many of us are assuming it’s going to work similar to the (NCAA tournament) basketball committee, so your non-conference schedule will come into consideration as they evaluate whether or not you’re going to be one of those final four teams.” The Buckeyes are scheduled to play MAC

members Buffalo in 2013, Kent State in 2014, Northern Illinois in 2015 and Bowling Green in 2016 all at Ohio Stadium. Because of the iffy status of the playoffs and the number of Big Ten games Ohio State might play, the schedule is incomplete starting with the 2017 season. The Buckeyes’ website only lists two games so far for 2017. The Buckeyes have played MAC teams almost annually since ending a 58-year span without meeting an Ohio or MAC team in 1992. Ohio State has played MAC teams 20 times since then, sometimes two in the same season, as was the case in 2011. The Buckeyes have had numerous close calls against MAC teams, including a 27-22 victory a year ago over Toledo. Ohio State has paid upward of $1 million for MAC schools to provide opposition.

Navarro lifts Reds past Brewers

AP PHOTO

Cincinnati Reds’ Dioner Navarro, bottom, covers his head as he is mobbed by his teammates driving in the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning against the Milwaukee Brewers Thursday in Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI (AP) — The silence in the Brewers’ clubhouse vividly described their plight. One out away from finishing off an impressive shutout, they let a must-win game slip away. And probably the postseason, too. Slumping Todd Frazier hit a tying, two-out homer in the ninth inning, and Dioner Navarro followed with an RBI triple that sent the Cincinnati Reds to a 21 victory Thursday and dealt a major setback to the Brewers’ playoff chances. They slipped four games

behind idle St. Louis for the final NL wild card with only six games left. They headed home knowing there was little chance the 2011 NL Central champions would still be playing in another week. “It’s a crushing loss,” closer John Axford said. “It hurts. It put us all in a tough spot.” All they needed was one more out from Axford (5-8), who had converted his last 15 save chances. Frazier connected on the first pitch for his first homer since Aug. 21, tying it at 1. Jay Bruce singled and came

around on Navarro’s triple to deep right-center field, just out of the outfielders’ reach. “It’s not like Navarro hit it hard, but exactly to the good point,” center fielder Carlos Gomez said. The comeback ended with the Reds’ first on-field celebration since they dethroned the Brewers as NL Central champions on Saturday. Until the ninth inning, the Reds played a like a team that had already clinched, managing only three singles and fanning a dozen times. Axford’s rare

failure he’s 33 of 42 overall in save chances provided a stunning finish for the Brewers, who walked off the field slowly with heads down. There was a sense that it had slipped away. “Obviously, we’ll have to win every game and hope for some help on the other side,” Axford said. The Brewers got themselves back into the wild card race by playing their best baseball of the season, winning 24 of 30 as of last weekend. They’ve started running out of time after losing four of their last six.

Indians fire manager Acta CLEVELAND (AP) — One month, one miserable month wiped out almost everything Manny Acta did for three years. “That month just crushed our hopes,” Acta said. And cost him his second job as a major league manager. Acta was fired Thursday by the Cleveland Indians, who collapsed from contention with a 5-24 record in August, the worst month in the franchise’s 112-year history. Acta, hired in 2009 after two tough seasons in Washington, paid the steepest price for the Indians’ stunning slide that dropped them to last place in the AL Central. It certainly wasn’t all Acta’s fault, but he took the fall. During the club’s August meltdown, Acta tried everything he could to turn things around. He changed his starting lineup, called team meetings, altered routines all to no avail. Once the Indians began to slip in the standings, there was nothing the 43-year-old Acta could do to stop them. And with six games left in this disappointing sea-

son, the Indians, who are just 21-50 in the second half, decided to begin moving forward without Acta. “I had a great three years here,” he said on a conference call. “I have no regrets and no bitterness. I gave my best and that’s all I can do.” Acta went 214-266 in nearly three seasons with the Indians, who were within 3 1-2 games of first on July 26 following a shocking comeback win at home over Detroit ace Justin Verlander. However, they lost the following day and would eventually lose 11 straight games. A season that began with so much hope turned to despair. “My job was to make us better,” Acta said. “We didn’t get better.” General manager Chris Antonetti announced Acta’s firing on an off day before the Indians opened their final homestand against Kansas City and the Chicago White Sox. If there is any solace to Acta it’s that his final two games were road wins over the second-place White Sox, who are chasing Detroit for the division title.

Newton 0 CASSTOWN — Miami East was able to score early and hold on to a 3-0 shutout victory over visiting Newton on Thursday. Katrina Sutherly scored three minutes into the game when she hooked a corner kick to the far post past the Newton goalie. The Vikings were able to score before the end of the first half when Sutherly sent through ball up the middle that Jessica Barlage chased and placed past the keeper. Newton had some opportunities in the second half to bring the game back within reach, including a

penalty kick with under five minutes to play, but Miami East goal keeper Maddie Linn was able to make the save to preserve Miami East’s seventh shutout of the season. “We have one more league game left,” Miami East coach Lil Carson said. “Maddie came up big tonight to keep us on track.” The Vikings added one more goal when Katelyn Gardella scored off an assist by Montana Hahn. The win pushes Miami East’s record to 11-1 (5-0 Cross County Conference) as they prepare to host Piqua on Saturday.

Crown. I can’t repeat most of it, but I’m sure you can guess,” said Gordon, the Kansas City outfielder who did his part to slow Cabrera’s pursuit by taking that homer away Wednesday night. “Miguel puts up these numbers every year, so it isn’t a surprise that he’s got a chance at the Triple Crown. I think that, some year, he’ll probably do it. He’s just an incredible hitter, and he’s respected by everyone in the game.” Cabrera won his first batting title last year, hitting .344 to complete a “career triple crown” after winning home run and RBI titles in previous seasons. Now he’s trying to become the first player since Yastrzemski to sweep all three categories at the same time. Since 1967, the Triple Crown has been even more elusive in baseball than in horse racing.

DETROIT (AP) — Miguel Cabrera’s drive sailed high into the Detroit night so high, in fact, that left fielder Alex Gordon had time to drift over to the fence and wait a couple seconds before reaching over and robbing the slugger of a home run. That snapshot was a good example of why nobody has won baseball’s Triple Crown in 45 years. It takes a special blend of power, discipline, consistency and yes, luck, if you believe in such a thing. But Cabrera is making perhaps the strongest bid since Carl Yastrzemski accomplished the feat in 1967. With six games remaining, Detroit’s 29-year-old third baseman tops the American League in batting average and RBIs and trails home run leader Josh Hamilton by only one. “I heard a lot from the fans about the Triple

Quarterback situation remains up in the air BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com Consider the Troy football team’s quarterback situation a work in progress. This much is certain — starter Matt Barr will be out again this week with a knee injury suffered against Springfield in Week 4. Barr missed last week’s game against Miamisburg. After that, the situation gets murky. Junior Joe Benson stepped in last week and got his first career start against Miamisburg. He was dinged up during the game, however, and his availability for this week’s game against Sidney will be questionable. As of Thursday morning, Troy coach Scot Brewer had not named a starter for tonight’s game against Sidney. “Right now Barr is out — and we will continue to evaluate the situation

from there,” Brewer said. • SIZE DOESN’T MATTER: Each and every week this season, Troy’s defensive line has been outweighed — but it hasn’t been outmuscled. “Basically, we’ve got three linebackers playing on our defensive line,” Brewer said. “We’ve got a corner and a safety who are bigger than some of our defensive linemen. But those three kids never quit. They play hard every down and they do what we need them to do.” Troy’s three-man front

COTTOM weighs in at an average of 227.0 pounds per man — small, even by high school standards. Against Miamisburg last week, they were outweighed by 50 pounds per man. Still, though, Troy’s defensive line of ends Marco Anverse (a 5-foot11, 206-pound sophomore) and Seth Overla (a 6-3, 215-pound junior) and noseguard Nick Cottom (a 6-foot, 260pound senior) didn’t get pushed around. For the game, Anvserve finished with five tackles,

a sack and a fumble recovery. Overla had a pair of tackles and Cottom had five tackles. For th season, the playmaking Anverse has 39 tackles, seven tackles for loss, six sacks, a quarterback hurry, a forced fumble and a pair of fumble recoveries. Overla has 22 tackles, four tackles for loss and a sack. Cottom has 26 tackles and a sack. • ON THE RUN: After a 194-yard rushing performance last week against Miamisburg, Troy tailback Miles Hibbler appears to be positioned

NADOLNY to make a run at the 1,000-yard rushing mark. Through five games, Hibbler has carried the ball 69 for 424 yards. Hibbler has only played in four games — he missed the season opener with a hamstring injury — which means he is averaging 106.0 yards per game. “Miles had a great game,” Brewer said. “He ran the ball hard.” Should he be able to continue at the current pace, Hibbler will at least come close to rushing for 1,000 yards. The Trojans have not

had a 1,000-yard rusher since Matt Allen in 2008. • GOING BOTH WAYS: Ian Nadolny makes his living as an outside linebacker and one of the Trojans’ undisputed team leaders. Lately, however, he’s been seeing more time at tight end for the Trojans. While he didn’t record a catch against Miamisburg last week, Brewer said he brought a valuable blocking presence to the offense. “He blocked his rear end off when he was in there,” Brewer said. “That’s just the kind of kid he is. He wants to play. He wants to be out there. He’s going to do whatever it takes to help the team.” Defensively, Nadolny finished with eight tackles, including two taackles for loss. For the season, Nadolny has 34 tackles, six tackles for loss, a quarterback sack, two quarterback hurries, a pass broken up and a recovered fumble.

Troy not taking Sidney lightly

BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com When it comes to the resurrection of the Sidney football program, Scot Brewer is a firm believer. “There’s been 100 percent improvement up there,” said Brewer, Troy’s football coach. “I feel like this year we are going through a lot of the same growing pains (Sidney coach Adam Doenges) went through last year with putting in a new system. You can see the improvement this year — they are really playing well.” The Yellowjackets enter tonight’s game with Troy at Troy Memorial Stadium with a 3-2 record, having already matched their win total from the last three years combined. After going 3-7 in 2009, Sidney went 0-20 in 2010 and 2011. The Yellowjackets are in their year under second Doenges. “He’s done a really nice job with them,” Brewer said. “You can tell they’ve learned the system, but they are also bigger and stronger than they were last year. Hats off to him — he’s obviously gotten the kids to buy into his system, and they are sticking to it.” All of which means, Brewer said, the Sidney team the Trojans will be facing tonight will scarcely resemble the same team the Trojans outscored by a combined 110-13 the past two seasons. “We’ve got to be ready to play these guys,” Brewer said. “We can’t take them lightly. But to be honest, at this point we’re not in a position to just say we’re going to run out and pad our stats against anybody. It’s going to be a fight. We’ve got to show up and be ready to play four quarters.” Offensively, the Yellowjackets will run a spread offense. Pulling the trigger will be junior quarterback Jordan Fox. Through five games, he’s completed 41 of 107 passes for 480 yards, the second-higest passing yardage total in the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division. He’s also thrown for two touchdowns and seven interceptions. He’s also a threat to run and is averaging 10.2 carries per game. Fox’s favorite target is running back Kaleb Martin, who has nine

TROY receptions for 181 yards and a touchdown this season. While Sidney prefers to throw the ball out of multiple-receiver sets, it does have options when it chooses to run the ball. Sidney’s leading rusher is sophomore Eric Barnes, who has 60 carries for 213 yards and a touchdown. Martin has 28 carries for 210 yards and two touchdowns. “They’ll spread you out,” Brewer said. “But they will also go to some two-back sets and run the ball. They’ve got three guys they will give the ball to, and all of them have good speed.” Troy will counter with a defense that is giving up just 15.0 points per game — the second-lowest point total in the GWOC North. Still, though, that’s about 15.0 points per game too many for Brewer, who had been Troy’s defensive coordinator before becoming head coach this season. “It’s always been our attitude that we don’t want to give up any first downs, much less any points,” Brewer said. “That will never change around here. Just because I’m calling the plays on offense now doesn’t mean defense doesn’t matter around here.” Troy’s offense will go up against a Sidney defense that ranks in the middle of the GWOC North and is giving up 23.0 points per game. Moving the ball wasn’t a problem last week for the Trojans — junior tailback Miles Hibbler rushed for nearly 200 yards — scoring, however, was. Troy squandered four red zone opportunities in a 7-6 loss to Miamisburg. “Honestly, I felt like we’ve moved the ball well all year,” Brewer said. “But we’ve got to find a way to score. We don’t have the style of offense that puts up a lot of huge, giant plays. We’ve got to ground and pound people.” Tonight’s game kicks off not only the second half of the season, but the start of GWOC North play. Troy went 2-3 the first half of the season, losing all three games by a combined total of 14 points. “We’ve still got a lot to play for,” Brewer said. “I don’t think there are any more lessons for us to learn. I think we just need to go out and play. The kids haven’t quit. We are just going to have to keep working hard.”

Ezekiel Elliott, a 2013 Ohio State verbal commitment from St. Louis John Burroughs High School, rushed for 222 yards and scored six touchdowns in a 44-7 win over Mary Institute Country Day last Friday. One of the touchdowns came on a 65-yard punt return. Tyquan Lewis, the Tarboro (N.C.) linebacker who became Ohio State’s seventeenth 2013 commitment last week, plays for a team that has won three consecutive North Carolina Class 2A state championships and is undefeated this season. Von Bell, a safety from Rossville, Ga. in the 2013 recruiting class, says he has reduced his list of college choices to Ohio State, Alabama and Tennessee.

Not all 4-0 records are the same

No. 14 Ohio State at No. 20 Michigan State, 3:30 p.m., Saturday, ABC QUARTERBACKS

RECEIVERS

Braxton Miller has come a long way since last year’s 10-7 loss to Michigan State when he threw for only 56 yards, didn’t have a run longer than three yards and was sacked four times. Miller (754 yards passing, 441 yards rushing) will face his toughest test of the season against MSU’s defense. Michigan State’s Andrew Maxwell’s transition from Kirk Cousins’ backup to starter has been a bit bumpy at times. He has completed only 52 percent of his passes and has thrown as many interceptions (3) as touchdown passes, but all of the interceptions came in the opener. Maxwell has attempted more passes (143) than any Big Ten quarterback and ranks third in passing yards with 869. Advantage: Ohio State

A contest for most consistent Ohio State receiver would produce a split vote. Corey Brown leads the team with 20 catches. Devin Smith (17 catches, 272 yards, 3 TDs) has mixed spectacular plays with quite a few drops. Jake Stoneburner caught touchdown passes in back-to-back games then didn’t have a catch last week. An all-new group of receivers, along with a first-year quarterback, have led to some struggles in the passing game for MSU. Tight end Dion Sims (22 catches, 277 yards, 2 TDs) has been Maxwell’s No. 1 target. Advantage: Even

OFFENSIVE LINE First-year right tackle Reid Fragel played the best game of his career against UAB, according to coach Urban Meyer. He says the line still has a long way to go to reach his goal of having the best offense in the Big Ten and in the country. For MSU, which ranks 11th in the Big Ten in scoring, guard Chris McDonald was an honorable mention All-Big Ten selection last season. Advantage: Ohio State

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

LINEBACKERS Ryan Shazier (40 tackles) and Etienne Sabino (28 tackles) lead OSU in that category. They will be dealing with the first power runner they have seen so far this season in the 244-pound Bell. Michigan State’s linebackers — Max Bullough, Denicos Allen and Chris Norman – combined for five sacks and 9.5 tackles for losses against the Buckeyes last season. MSU coach Mark Dantonio is looking for more pressure from his defense, which has only three sacks all season. Advantage: Michigan State

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

RUNNING BACKS Jordan Hall’s second game back from a foot injury produced his first career 100-yard rushing game when he went for 105 yards in a 29-15 win over Alabama-Birmingham last week. Carlos Hyde could return after sitting out the last two games with a sprained knee. OSU is looking for more big plays from its backs, whose longest run this season is 16 yards. MSU’s Le’Veon Bell (610 yards) leads the Big Ten in rushing yards after gaining 253 yards in a 23-7 win over Eastern Michigan last week. Advantage: Michigan State

Ohio State is tied for the Big Ten lead in interceptions (7) but is eleventh overall in pass defense. Cornerback Bradley Roby (shoulder) and safety C.J. Barnett (ankle) are expected to return after missing last week’s game. Doran Grant might challenge for playing time after an interception and fumble recovery, filling in for Roby. MSU cornerback Johnn Adams was first-team All-Big Ten last season, safety Isaiah Lewis was second team and cornerback Darqueze Dennard is a returning starter. Advantage: Michigan State

SPECIAL TEAMS Drew Basil has made his only field goal attempt. Punter Ben Buchanan had a punt blocked last week on a play where a UAB defender went unblocked. Meyer says there might be too many freshmen on special teams. Michigan State kicker Dan Conroy is 7 of 11 on field goals. Bell returns punts, which speaks either to his athleticism or a lack of a suitable alternative. Advantage: Even

COLUMBUS — Maybe it wouldn’t hurt Ohio State fans to have an “It’s A Wonderful Life” moment occasionally. In that 1940s classic movie, Jimmy Stewart’s character gets a chance to see how life might have been different for him and comes out the other side with a greater appreciation for what he has. The expectations are so high at Ohio State that sometimes what OSU has — and what many other schools don’t have — gets overlooked. Only three Big Ten football teams have a 4-0 record at this point in the season — Ohio State, Minnesota and Northwestern. Minnesota and Northwestern are thrilled with their unbeaten starts. They’re probably beyond thrilled at Minnesota. At Ohio State, Braxton Miller has provided the thrills. But the conversation around the state has been dominated by concerns the Buckeyes have just scraped by teams they should have overwhelmed and how a whole lot of things need to get better. But it’s not just the wins OSU fans might need to stop and appreciate a little more. The game day experience is nothing like Ohio Stadium at many places around the Big Ten. You can find something very similar at Michigan, Wisconsin, Penn State, Nebraska, Iowa and Michigan State. You can’t find it everywhere, though. Ablog by Mark Tupper, of the Decatur (Ill.) Herald-Review described how two hours, 45 minutes before the kickoff of Illinois’ game against Charleston Southern two weeks ago, there was only one car in the big-money donors parking lot next to the Illini’s stadium. When the game did kick off, nearly half the seats in the stadium were empty. At Minnesota, before the season began, athletic director Norwood Teague rode around campus giving away free tickets to students. And a video featuring quarterback Marqueis Gray was sent to every student to try to get more of them to go to football games. Indiana bundled men’s basketball student tickets with football tickets this year. If you wanted the highly prized hoops season tickets, you had to buy football season tickets, too. Northwestern has gotten a 25 percent increase in attendance since 2009 after investing more money into marketing and promotions but still has played in front of 66 percent of capacity in its three home games this season. Feeling a little better now, OSU fans?
