Former officer faces theft charges Melanie Yingst

Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

TROY – He last served as the Troy City Schools School Resource Officer in the district’s elementary schools as their D.A.R.E. officer, but former city of Troy Police Department officer, Kirt Wright, 41, is now on the other side of the law after being indicted for felony

theft in office after allegedly stealing from the D.A.R.E. program by credit card for years on Friday.

Wright was indicted on Friday on thirddegree felony charge of theft by Miami County grand jurors. Wright Wright is scheduled to be arraigned on Oct. 7.

Wright resigned from the

police department on July 23 following the investigation of theft of up to $13,000 from the police department’s credit card for the Troy City Schools’ DARE program for personal use. The alleged thefts occurred from January 2008 to May 30, 2013.

Due to conflict of interest, the investigation then was moved to the attorney general’s office in Columbus.

NEWTON TOWNSHIP - A two-vehicle crash at the intersection of the Fenner and Greenlee roads on Saturday left a total of eight victims in need of medical treatment.

The crash occurred around 6:30 p.m. when a pickup truck and a PT Cruiser collided in the intersection. Amy Joiner, 44, of Piqua was driving her pickup truck northbound on Greenlee Road and ran a stop sign, according to Sgt. Chris Bobb of the Miami County Sheriff’s Office. Joiner’s truck was then hit by the PT Cruiser, driven by Steven Back, 48, of Tipp City, which was traveling west on Fenner Road.

Back’s vehicle crashed into a pair of utility poles, bringing live wires down across both roadways.

The pickup truck overturned and burst into flames.

U.S. bracing for government shutdown no one wants WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States braced for a partial government shutdown Tuesday that no one in the seat of democracy seems to want or believes is good for the country, yet the only point of agreement in Washington is that the other political party is to blame.

If the midnight Monday deadline passes without a deal, a shutdown would affect a wide range of programs, from national parks to the Pentagon.

President Barack Obama and the leader of the Democratic-controlled Senate dismissed a late developing plan approved early Sunday by the GOP-run House that would delay by a year key part of the new health care law and repeal a tax on medical devices, in exchange for avoiding a shutdown.

The White House promised a veto and said Republicans were pursuing “a narrow ideological agenda … and pushing the government toward shutdown.”

Lawmakers spoke past one another on the Sunday talk shows, often rehashing the turbulent fights about

the health overhaul that the Supreme Court has upheld, as the nation edged toward the first government shutdown in 17 years.

“I agree we should have this debate, but we shouldn’t connect it to a government shutdown. That’s the fundamental disagreement between the two sides here,” said Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va. “We’re not going to pass it because it is wrong to do a shutdown of government as the lever to make a change.”

The House’s near party-line vote was 231-192, shifting the focus to the Senate less than 48 hours before government funds would run dry.

Even if that happens, some critical services such patrolling the borders, inspecting meat and controlling air traffic would continue. Social Security benefits would be sent and the Medicare and Medicaid health care programs for the elderly and poor would continue to pay doctors and hospitals.

The Senate was not scheduled to

Father of stabbed Dodgers fan calls for witnesses SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The father of a Los Angeles Dodgers fan stabbed to death after a San Francisco Giants game last week asked Sunday for witnesses who may have captured the fight on mobile devices to come forward and help both families find closure.

Robert Preece, his voice quavering at times, spoke in front of AT&T Park’s iconic Willie Mays statue before the Giants played the San Diego Padres. He was flanked by family members who handed out fliers to fans streaming into the stadium.

The fight Wednesday night

ended with the death of his 24-year-old son, Jonathan Denver.

“Losing a child is a heartache no parent should have to endure,” Preece said in his plea for witnesses to the fight, which resulted in the arrest of Michael Montgomery, 21. Montgomery was released from jail on Friday after the district attorney said police have not yet collected enough evidence to warrant criminal charges. Montgomery’s father has told other media outlets that his son says Denver hit him over the head with a chair and he stabbed him in self-defense.

Preece said Sunday that he saw

bystanders with mobile devices and believes they were recording the incident.

“The Montgomery family is likely suffering as well,” Preece said. “I am making a plea to the public asking that anyone who may have witnessed the incident to come forth so that both families can have some measure of closure.

I believe that someone may have videotaped the incident so we can discover the truth.”

Denver’s mother, Diana Denver, said in a prepared statement that she was angered by Montgomery’s release and what she called “the negligence of our justice system.”

meet until midafternoon Monday, 10 hours before a shutdown would begin, and even some Republicans said privately they feared that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., held the advantage in the fast-approaching end game.

If so, a House GOP rank and file that includes numerous tea party allies would have to choose between triggering a shutdown or coming away empty-handed from their latest confrontation with Obama.

“We will not shut the government down,” said the No. 3 House GOP leader, Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California.

“If we have to negotiate a little longer, we will continue to negotiate,” he added without elaboration.

He suggested the House would “get back together in enough time, send another provision not to shut the government down, but to fund it, and it will have a few other options in there for the Senate to look at again.”

McCarthy said the House would not relent on demands for “fundamental changes into ‘Obamacare’ that can protect the economy.”

Republicans said the law was costing jobs and driving up costs.

“The American people overwhelmingly reject ‘Obamacare,’” said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. “They understand it’s not working. The only people who aren’t listening to the argument are the career politicians in Washington. It’s Harry Reid who wants to use brute political force.”

Obama has said he won’t let the law, his chief domestic achievement, be gutted. Democrats say Republicans are obsessed with attacking the overhaul, which is aimed at providing health coverage for millions of uninsured Americans, and the president.

The House bill did contain new concessions from Republicans, who have criticized the requirements imposed on insurers.

They said their measure would leave intact most parts of the law that have taken effect, including requiring insurance companies to cover people with pre-existing conditions and to let families’ plans cover children up to age 26.

An exception: Insurers would be allowed to deny contraception coverage based on religious or moral objections.

But it would delay a requirement for people to purchase coverage or face a penalty, and the creation of marketplaces, which are supposed to start functioning this Tuesday, where people could shop for coverage from private insurers.

McCarthy and Kaine were on “Fox News Sunday,” while Cruz appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

to Kathy Slack, a highly respected U.S. Figure Skating judge from Troy. He knew Slack through his skating coaches and through her work with U.S. Figure Skating. To that point, Trey and Katie had never been to Troy, but the city quickly won them over.

“We found the city charming, Hobart Arena was full of potential, and the people were friendly and inviting,” Trey said. “It was an opportunity we could not pass up.”

The pair will each be coaching private lessons and providing basic skills instruction.

They began their work in Troy on Sept. 9 with a simple idea in mind — get the numbers up and get people of all ages excited about skating.

“I hope to reinvigorate the number of skaters in the programs, as well as the popularity of skating in general,” Trey said.

Ehre is originally from Buffalo, N.Y., and has 14 years of professional skating under his belt, while McGuire, who hails from Irvine, Calif., has been in the pro ranks for 11 years. They met in 2007 while skating in an ice show at Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, Calif. — and they have been traveling and performing in shows together ever since.

Aside from the skating lessons, Ehre and McGuire also plan to promote skating throughout the community and said there are “exciting” events planned for the future. They also talked about getting people out and participating in open skates at Hobart.

“We are working with the club and the rink to promote skating as a recreational sport for the community,” Trey said.

“We are currently working on some fun and exciting events for Halloween.”

The new session of Skate With Us and the basic skills program will begin the week of Oct. 21.

To help students and parents through this process, Edison Community College will be hosting its annual College Fair on Oct. 2 from 12:30-2 p.m. in the gymnasium at the Piqua campus.

Over 60 colleges and universities from Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Michigan will be at Edison to talk with students, parents and guidance counselors about opportunities in higher education. Advisors and representatives will be able to address questions regarding courses, tuition, job placement rates for majors, accreditation, the transfer process, and more.

“Our goal is to provide area students and community members a chance to talk to representatives in person to gain information, help foster ideas, and ultimately get students excited about furthering their education and reaching their personal goals,” said Trevor Stutz, Enrollment Manager for Edison.

“It’s really great to have all of these colleges, schools, programs, and services in one place so that prospective students can see the different options available to them.”

Some of the highlighted schools attending this year’s college fair will be Hocking College, Ohio Northern

ONLINE POLL

Question Is the United States safe from terrorism on its own soil?

Watch for final poll results in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Australian on Kenyan atrocity a wake-up call: The slaughter of innocent men, women and children perpetrated by Islamic militants at the Westgate Shopping Mall in Kenya, a country that is a longstanding and important Western ally, should leave the international community in no doubt about the dire consequences when failed states are allowed to become breeding grounds for terrorism.

Somalia, the wreck of a country on the Horn of Africa from which the evil, al-Qaida-affiliated al-Shabab thugs responsible for the massacre emanate, has lacked stability since the regime of General Siad Barre, a Soviet toady, lost power in 1991.

In the ensuing anarchy - with the international community unable and unwilling to do much - the worst forms of malevolent Islamic extremism have spawned and thrived, leading to the attack by the alShabab terrorists that claimed the lives of scores of people, including Tasmanian-born architect Ross Langdon and his pregnant wife, Elif Yavuz. Another 200 people were wounded. …

Kenya, which has 4,000 soldiers in Somalia as part of an African Union military force battling to restore security to Somalia, is the alShabab terrorists’ immediate target, but Nairobi needs help and the international community should be unhesitating in coming to its aid because the threat posed by the Somali terrorists could spread beyond Africa. Al-Shabab is operating closely with al-Qaida and in conjunction with the equally vile Boko Haram terrorists in oil-rich Nigeria and alQaida in the Islamic Maghreb.

Given the large Somali diaspora around the world, attacks could also be staged elsewhere. …

Recently, perceptions had grown that al-Shabab was losing ground.

Senior US officials claimed the Islamist group was on the run after staging a tactical retreat from Mogadishu, the Somali capital, and losing control of the port of Kismayo from which they launched their piracy and kidnapping attacks on the east African coast. The horror perpetrated in Nairobi shows the optimism was misplaced.

Such atrocities cannot be tolerated and the international community cannot turn a blind eye. It is to the credit of the African Union that it is leading the way in seeking to deal with al-Shabab, but far more than Africa’s interests are at stake in the battle. As the death toll in the Nairobi massacre again shows, Islamic terrorism threatens us all, and the international community must do all it can to confront it. Somalia’s chaos and the terrorism it has spawned as a failed state was allowed to fester for far too long.

The Korea Herald, Seoul, South Korea on policymakers need to remain vigilant: The U.S. Federal Reserve has brought both good and bad news by deciding to delay scaling back its massive bond-purchasing program.

The Fed has been printing money to inject liquidity into the financial system and thereby stimulate the U.S. economy. Each month, it has purchased $85 billion worth of Treasury and mortgage bonds to encourage people to borrow, spend and invest.

Until early last week, the Fed was widely expected to take its first step toward rolling back the extraordinary stimulus measures this month. A majority of Wall Street analysts predicted that it would announce a reduction of $10 billion-$15 billion in its bond purchases at its Sept. 18 meeting.

But it decided to keep the current quantitative easing measures intact, citing the weak hiring and economic growth figures.

The Fed’s unexpected move is good news for a group of emerging countries whose currencies have plummeted in value since May when Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke first suggested a possible pullback of the stimulus program within this year.

These countries, including Indonesia, India, Thailand and Turkey, suffered an outflow of foreign capital as the prospect of higher U.S. interest rates caused the flows of money to reverse.

The Fed’s decision is welcome as it will give some relief to these vulnerable economies. It also gives them more time to prepare for Washington’s eventual tapering of the monetary stimulus. The Korean government also welcomed the decision, although it experienced an inflow, rather than an outflow, of foreign capital in recent months.

Korea is no longer a crisis-prone country. Rather, its strong fundamentals have earned it safe haven status. …

For Korea, the U.S. represents the second-largest single export market. A slow recovery of the U.S. market would hamper growth of Korea’s exports.

LETTERS Obama is what’s wrong with America To the Editor: I find it astounding how many people are still blaming the Republicans for all that is wrong with our country today.

Hey! What happened to all that “hope and change” we kept hearing about when President Obama was running for president the first timne around? Wasn’t he the one who was suposed to be the difference maker? Wasn’t he the one who was supposed to save all of us from ourselves?

Now, here we are in the middle of his second term and I’m led to wonder — where is all that hope and change we were promised?

Seems like the economy hasn’t improved at all. Seems like we are still fighting senseless wars on foreign soil. Seems like now our government is spying on us.

You people can continue to blame the Republicans all you want, but maybe it’s time we start at the top. Are we really better off than when we were when Obama took office? Sure as heck doesn’t seem like it to me. Seems like we are in the same mess we’ve been in for quite some time now.

You can keep your “hope and change.” I want a new president.

— Thomas Pearson Troy

It’s Nora, not Alvin, and the chipmunks Cats with attitude. There is a prime example of … oh what do you call it? Redundancy. That’s it. My friend Nora has two cats. One is named Spats. He is an elderly gentleman, sort of refined and low key except for when he is throwing up hair balls on the carpet. The other cat is called Sassy. She is well-named.

One recent Friday evening my friend was getting ready for company and had settled in her chair to catch the last of the ball game.

Feeling she should join the festivities, Sassy came around the corner bearing a gift. It was a large—nearly half her size—chipmunk clamped in her mouth. Sassy is supposed to be an inside cat. Well she is an incredibly lucky inside cat. The chipmunk had delivered himself to her by slipping inside the screened porch, probably lured in by the aroma of Meow Mix. If it is possible for a cat to grin with a huge rodent dangling from her mouth, Sassy grinned. Nora said her first impulse was to yell but she—get this—didn’t want to startle the cat and have her drop the chipmunk.

Instead, Nora tried to reason with her.

Perhaps a little background information is in order. Nora is a retired elementary school principal and she was a dandy. She kept nice homey

Luckily for Nora, that was when David came home. He entered the bedroom and found a scene from Chevy Chase’s Christmas Vacation.

The room was in shambles, and a disheveled Nora was holding a yardstick defending herself from the craftiest chipmunk alive. David suggested taking the cat out of the room and opening a window. Then they could chase the chipmunk back outside.

For reasons that made perfect sense to her, Nora decided the ideal tool for chasing the chipmunk was a vacuum cleaner. She thought she could chase and clean at the same time.

For the next hour, David and Nora chased, vacuumed, and built ramps to the window to allow for easy egress.

Unfortunately, this story does not end well for the chipmunk. Although they gave it every opportunity to escape, the little guy steadfastly refused to run up the ramp and out the window.

Instead, he ran under David’s boot and is now in chipmunk heaven.

Sassy is still lying down.

Glen Mohler COVINGTON — Glen Eugene Mohler, 80, son of David and Martha (Flora) Mohler, was born Aug. 4, 1933, in Covington.

He departed this life peacefully at home in the early morning hours of Sept. 28, 2013.

As a young man, he responded in faith to the call of the Lord Jesus Christ and was baptized on Oct. 8, 1950. At the time of his passing, he was a member of the Old German Baptist Brethren Church, New Conference, Sugar Grove district.

On Jan. 6, 1952, he was united in marriage with Lois Jean Miller, daughter of Forrest and Amy Miller.

They enjoyed 61 years together, many of those serving side by side caring for their parents at different times and finally many years of caring for their son Curtis, disabled with a head injury. In the beginning years of their marriage, they served two years of C.O. service in Elyria and then made their residence near Covington. Glen worked 42 years as an electrician, and then spent several years working for a home builder.

In the later years of his life, Glen was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. As his abilities diminished, he rarely, if ever, complained. He was also privileged to receive the peace and joy of an anointing service. He is survived by his wife, Lois Jean; daughter, Diane Mohler; son and daughter-in-law, Randy and Diane Mohler; granddaughters Holly and Trent Eikenberry and their children Carter, Jade, Will, Ty and Violet; Nicki and

Marcella Hazan, famed cookbook author, dies at 89

AP Photo In this May 29, 2012, file photo, chef Marcella Hazan poses in the kitchen of her Longboat Key, Fla., home. Hazan, the Italian-born cookbook author who taught generations of Americans how to create simple, fresh Italian food, died Sunday, Sept. 30, 2013 at her home in Florida, according to an email from her son, Giuliano Hazan. She was 89.

Chinese cooking class, but the instructor canceled the class; the other students decided they wanted Hazan to teach them to cook Italian food.

So she began offering cooking classes from her New York City apartment.

Those classes blossomed into a lifelong business of teaching. She and Victor

opened a cooking school in Bologna, then in Venice, where classes took place in a 16th century palazzo with a custom designed kitchen.

Hazan gave birth to a son, Giuliano, in 1958. He shared his parents’ love of food and also became a cookbook author. Giuliano and his wife run a cook-

ing school in Verona. He also makes frequent visits to the Today Show, teaching his mother’s recipes.

Earlier this year, Giuliano Hazan published “Hazan Family Favorites,” drawing on his memories of his parents and grandparents and the food they ate for decades.

“The world of cooking has lost a giant today,” daughter-in-law Lael Hazan tweeted Sunday afternoon.

It was Hazan’s 1973 cookbook, “The Classic Italian Cookbook,” that led gourmands to draw comparisons between Hazan and another larger-thanlife cookbook author: Julia Child.

The two women were longtime friends; Child told People Magazine in 1998 that Hazan was “forbidding because she’s rough … that’s her manner, and she’s got a good heart.”

In 2000, Hazan was awarded the James Beard Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award.

Marcella and Victor Hazan retired to a condo on Longboat Key, Fla., in

the late 1990s. There, the couple renovated the kitchen, which overlooked the languid blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Punctuated by calls and visits from fans and reporters — and occasionally making appearances in her son’s cookbooks and at cooking classes in the northeast — Hazan returned to the thing she loved doing most: cooking for her husband.

On Sunday, Victor Hazan wrote on Facebook: “Marcella, my incomparable companion, died this morning a few steps away from her bed. She was the truest and best, and so was her food.”

40138637

begged home cooks to use more salt and once wrote that if readers were concerned about salt affecting one’s life expectancy, to “not read any further.” On the topic of garlic, Hazan took a sharp view.

“The unbalanced use of garlic is the single greatest cause of failure in would-be Italian cooking,” she wrote in her 2004 cookbook “Marcella Says…” ”It must remain a shadowy background presence. It cannot take over the show.”

Marcella Pollini was born in 1924 in Cesenatico in the Emilia-Romana region of Italy. She didn’t intend to be a professional cooking teacher or author; she graduated from the University of Ferrara with a doctorate in natural sciences and biology.

But then she met Victor Hazan, who was born in Italy but raised in New York. The couple married in 1955 and moved to the U.S., and she realized she needed to feed her husband, who longed for the flavors of Italy. One year, she went to take a

LONGBOAT KEY, Fla. (AP) — Marcella Hazan, the Italian-born cookbook author who taught generations of Americans how to create simple, fresh Italian food, died Sunday. She was 89.

Hazan died in the morning at her home in Florida, according to an email from her son, Giuliano Hazan, and posts on Facebook and Twitter from her husband and daughter-in-law.

Hazan was best known for her six cookbooks, which were written by her in Italian and translated into English by Victor, her husband of 57 years. The recipes were traditional, tasty and sparse — her famous tomato sauce contained only tomatoes, onion, butter and salt — and mirrored the tastes of her home country, where importance is placed on the freshness of food, rather than the whiz-bang recipes inside a chef’s mind.

She eschewed the American-style Italian food that suffocated mushy pasta in grainy meatballs and tasteless cheese. She

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Think twice about how you handle the wealth and possessions of others, including what you share with them, e.g., jointly held property, debt, inheritances and such. Of course you're sympathetic, but you don't want to be foolish.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Conversations with partners and close friends are friendly today. Nevertheless, let your instincts guide you. If something makes you uncomfortable, don't act.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Things are not necessarily as they appear at work today. An interesting subtext of which you are not aware might be taking place. Keep your eyes and ears open.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You feel sympathetic to the needs of children and young people, as well as sympathetic to your main squeeze today. Stay focused on what is real.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might want to help a family member today or show support. This is good. Nevertheless, if it comes to an exchange of money, be careful.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Take everything with a grain of salt today, because people might not have the true facts. You might hear only one side of the story. It would be wise to wait until you hear both sides.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You adore beautiful things, and today you might see something elegant and luxurious that you want to buy. Give everything a sober second thought, and keep your receipts.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your idealism is aroused today, which makes you feel sympathetic to those who are needy. Nevertheless, protect your own self-interests as well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might subordinate your wants and needs to those of someone you think is needier. This is noble. Just make sure you're not kidding yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You'll enjoy talking to groups, especially charitable groups or people who want to improve society. You're impressed with what they have to say and are sympathetic to their cause.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Today you might have a better understanding of what your boss or people in power have to deal with.

It's more than you thought. (Nevertheless, they are well-paid, aren't they?)

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Because your appreciation of beauty is heightened today, give yourself a chance to enjoy beautiful places.

Visit museums, art galleries, parks and architectural buildings.

YOU BORN TODAY It might take years of struggle to succeed, but you will succeed. You work hard at your profession, and you align yourself with equally talented people (often demonstrated by the mate you choose). Some of you are idiosyncratic and eccentric, yet you also are dignified. Good news: This year might be one of the most powerful years of your life. Dream big!

More Americans exercise while they work Brown (NYSE:BRO) , a global insurance consulting firm.

Lockerbie can burn 350 calories a day walking 3 to 4 miles on one of two treadmill desks that his company’s Indianapolis office purchased earlier this year.

“I’m in meetings and at my desk and on the phone all day,” he said.

“It’s great to be able to have an option at my work to get some physical activity while I’m actually doing office stuff. You feel better, you get your blood moving, you think clearly.”

Treadmill desks designed for the work-

It’s been a decade since scientific studies began to show that too much sitting can lead to obesity and increase the risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. Even going to the gym three times a week doesn’t offset the harm of being sedentary for hours at a time, said Dr. James Levine, an endocrinologist at the Mayo Clinic.

pital or a nursing home, he follows them there for treatment.

Some doctors call it a concierge practice. Others, frustrated over what they say is a misperception that the service attracts only wealthy patients, prefer “direct primary care” or “personalized care.”

The forms vary. But in most cases, doctors charge membership fees to provide certain services and specialized care. Many of the doctors, including Padour, continue to accept insurance payment for care not covered by the membership, although some doctors accept only direct payment.

A leader of the American Academy of Private Physicians estimates as many as 5,000 doctors nationwide have direct primary care practices, charging fees of $600 to several thousand dollars. A leader of MDVIP, a Florida-based company that runs a national network of membership fee practices, suggested the national number is closer to 2,500 doctors but increasing.

No patients are abandoned

when doctors join MDVIP, said Dan Hecht, CEO of the 12-year-old company that is a division of Procter & Gamble. Before doctors join, they must find a new home for patients who choose not to pay membership fees.

Hecht says MDVIP helps combat the primary care doctor shortage by extending the career of physicians so frustrated with traditional practice that they leave medicine.

Dr. Paul Block of Thousand Oaks, Calif., joined MDVIP in 2004. He said the membership-fee format allows him to better avoid what he sees as the problems created by the power of insurance companies, pressure to see more patients and federal health care overhaul.

“I became aware I couldn’t change the system but I could dramatically change it for myself and a few people,” Block said.

Bristling at the notion of upper-crust care for an affluent few, Block said his $1,800 annual fee is less than some people spend on cable and Internet services.

Dr. Jack Padour was burning out.

The Ventura, Calif., internal medicine doctor faced falling reimbursement rates and rising overhead. The only way to maintain his earnings was to see more patients.

“I knew I was being compromised by seeing patients every eight to 10 minutes just to keep the doors open,” he said.

Two years ago, Padour changed his practice to a model attracting doctors and debate across the nation.

Patients now pay him an $1,800 membership fee that allows him to see fewer people and spend more time with each of them. A roster that once hovered at 2,000 patients is now at 300.

The annual fee guarantees an extensive physical, including tests on lung function, vision, heart, anxiety, diet and other aspects of wellness. Patients get Padour’s cellphone number. They are guaranteed immediate access and, perhaps most importantly, more time with the doctor.

Fear permeates young lives of Newtown witnesses

NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — A few nights after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, David Posey heard a strange noise in his house and went upstairs to check on his son. The little boy, who had just seen his teacher and a first-grade classmate gunned down, was pounding on the floor.

“I know where the bad guy is,” the child told his father, indicating down below, in hell. “I’m beating him up.”

Hundreds of children at the school that day survived the shooting, but the horrors have been especially difficult to overcome for some of the 6- and 7-year-olds who witnessed the bloodbath. Among the survivors are a dozen firstgraders from the two classrooms where the gunman opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle.

Nightmares are persistent, and any reminder of the attack — a fire alarm, a clap of thunder, even the sound of an intercom — can stir feelings of panic. At the building in a neighboring town where the survivors recently began a new school year, signs ask people to close doors softly and not to drag objects across the floor.

Their parents, grateful their children are even alive, have struggled out of public view, another set of families left reeling from the attack.

For all the hugs and assurances they are safe, the parents can no longer tell their children there are no such things as monsters.

“The worst part is the helplessness,” said Hugo Rojas, whose son also witnessed the shooting. “You want to take that pain away. You want to be able to take those nightmares away, but you can’t.”

The gunman, Adam Lanza, who killed 20 children and six educators at the school, shot his way into the building the morning of Dec. 14.

As the sound of gunfire and shells hitting the floor rang out from the hallway, the children in Victoria Soto’s class were moved to the back of their room. They were sitting on the floor when Lanza burst through the door. No one spoke, not even Lanza. The gunman pointed his gun at the face of Posey’s son, just inches away. But he didn’t shoot him.

“He said he kind of just stared down the kids,” Posey said. “My personal belief is that at that par-

ticular time he hadn’t crossed the threshold of shooting a child.”

Lanza shot the teacher. And a girl. As Lanza reloaded his gun, children including Posey’s and Rojas’ sons ran past blood, shattered glass and the body of their principal, lying on the hallway floor. After firing off 154 rifle shots within five minutes, Lanza killed himself with a handgun as police arrived. He also killed his mother that morning before driving to the school.

Posey and Rojas described in interviews how any reminder of the attack would traumatize their sons. To protect their privacy, they asked that the boys’ names not be published. Most of the families of the surviving witnesses have tried to shield their children’s identities and struggles and have declined to speak publicly.

Two months after the shooting, Posey and his family were in the grocery store when an announcement came over the intercom. His son insisted they leave immediately. Posey was baffled, but his son later explained the intercom was on when Lanza began his rampage inside Sandy Hook. “‘When the intercom goes off, that’s when something bad is about to happen,’” he recalled his son telling him.

Posey also noticed changes in behavior. His once agreeable boy began to rebel, refusing to brush his teeth. He started wearing his Batman and Iron Man costumes again.

“It’s his ability to be a superhero and in control,” Posey said. “People don’t hurt Batman.”

Rojas said his son, who is in therapy, has had to cope with vivid nightmares. His son does not talk much about the shooting, but he sometimes asks why. The family tries to be honest, telling him they don’t know why. He also asks about his friends who were killed.

“We talk about heaven,” Rojas said. “He knows they’re there.”

The families of the 12 surviving children who witnessed the shootings each received $20,000 from the largest Newtown charity fund.

The families of the 26 people who were killed each received $281,000.

In a letter to the foundation in charge of distributing the donations, Newtown First Selectman

Patricia Llodra said $20,000 is not nearly adequate for the families of the survivors, who are likely to need counseling for years.

“Twenty thousand dollars will be insufficient to address the wide range of mental health needs for these youngsters and their siblings and parents for years into the future,” Llodra wrote in the Aug. 7 letter urging the foundation to set aside money for the families’ future needs. “Please be aware also that many of these families suffered significant loss of income and loss of opportunity during the months immediately after December 14.”

On the day of the massacre, Posey’s children, including two at Sandy Hook, were attending their final day of school in Newtown before moving to Colorado a day later. In Colorado, Posey and his wife have joined survivors of the 1999 Columbine High School shooting to form a foundation to help schools prepare emergency plans and help survivors of tragedies to recover. He is also working with parents of Newtown victims on an effort to improve school safety.

With time, Posey said, his son has shown signs of recovery.

For a period after the shooting, the boy was fearful and worried about everyone’s safety, insisting they go look for his mother when she left the house. But he now understands when his mother is gone. He’s playing sports again. A long vacation to the Grand Canyon this summer appeared to help the whole family.

Posey said his son also talks about becoming a detective who helps children.

Rojas said his son was excited to return to school this fall and see his friends but also apprehensive.

Overall, he said, his son is “OK.” He wishes someone could tell him everything will be fine in a few years, but he knows it will be a long road for his son and the other survivors.

“Not a day goes by that we’re not thankful that we do have our son,” Rojas said. “I think about our friends and neighbors who don’t have that blessing anymore. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about those 20 kids.”

AP Photo In this Sept. 10 photo, telescope collector John Allseits, of Pearl City, Ill., inspects part of the wheel of his 1950 German equatorial refractor telescope housed in a building at his farm. Officials from the University of Ohio at Athens visited the farm to take measurements of the antique telescope to restore a sister telescope they have at the university. Allseits, an antique collector and founding member of the Antique Telescope Society, says his passion to collect telescopes began when he was a teenager growing up in Chicago.

systems technician from the university, spent the heat of the day collecting data and measuring parts of the telescope. The university has a sister telescope in need of restoration. Myers said there were only six telescopes made like the one Allseits has. One is at Harvard, one at Ohio University and the other three are unaccounted for.

“We lost our pieces to our telescope in November 2012 when a fire ripped through the building, which resulted in key parts to the telescope being thrown out,” Myers said.

“We had been searching for a sister scope and found out about John’s

through the Antique Telescope Society. What I am getting out of all our data and measurements excites me to know we can re-create our telescope to make it functional.

Seeing what I see with John’s gives me hope to get ours running.

Without the measurements I am getting, it would be impossible to re-create the pattern. No blueprint exists anymore for this type of 10-inch telescope.”

Allseits said his passion to create a local museum is about offering something to the public they can only get through the naked eye. He said he has no idea how many

antique telescopes he has in his collection, but adds research telescopes that exist today are computer generated. Few exist that allow the public a viewing by the naked eye.

“I am building my observatory for the public, but to also bring back the kid in me,” Allseits said. “Having the guys come to me from Ohio University vindicates the dummy in me that will need to build a $250,000 building to house my telescope and make it operational. They see the value in what I am trying to create. My collection is too big not to create a museum.”

PEARL CITY, Ill. (AP) — John Allseits of Pearl City said his passion to collect telescopes began when he was a teenager growing up in Chicago.

The soft-spoken man said he used to build telescopes back then, long before he became an antique collector and founding member of the Antique Telescope Society.

When Allseits moved his wife, Lisa, and son, Patrick, to Pearl City, he also bought a farm south of the village. His dream is to build his own observatory. He calls it Mount Jennings Observatory, after a fictional statement made in the 1939 movie called “War of the Worlds.”

“There is nothing fictional about the name of my observatory. It may be in the working stages, but I already have a museum of telescopes in storage and two domes already moved to the property,” Allseits said. “I’m really passionate about this. I am doing it for the public.

“Kids get jaded by computers today, but I want to create something that has an impact of putting the eye to a monstrous machine that creates magic from the sky. It can only be done by the naked eye.”

While Allseits’ dream is lofty, it did catch the attention of astronomy educators from Ohio University in Athens.

Tuesday, two officials from the university spent the day measuring an antique 1950 German equatorial refractor telescope that Allseits has had in storage since 2005.

It was a busy week for the fall sports season and the road ahead is about to be even busier.

Let’s review what happened last week in Miami County sports — starting with Saturday’s Miami County Invitational, the “Granddaddy of Them All” in area cross country.

As expected the state-ranked Tippecanoe girls team won the meet and Allison Sinning became a two-time Miami County champion — establishing a new meet record in the process (18:40).

What wasn’t expected, however, may have been the Troy boys beating Tippecanoe, a team ranked in the top five of Division II. For the first time this season, Troy’s

Stephen Jones and Branden Nosker ran times below 16 minutes, with Jones winning (15:51) and Nosker finishing runner-up (15:55). That one-two punch for the Trojans — supported by strong performances from Blake Guillozet (fifth place, 16:28), Troy Schultz (eighth, 16:45) and Josh Spayde (17th, 17:38) — was good enough to deny the Red Devils from capturing their eighth consecutive county title.

In other news, the Troy boys soccer team continued its nine-game streak without a loss, with wins over Trotwood and Springboro during the week. At 2-0-1 in Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division, Troy is locked in a tie with Butler atop the standings. The Trojans have a big division showdown at Sidney (5-7-1, 2-1-0) Tuesday.

The Troy boys golf team repeated

as GWOC North champs Thursday at Beechwood Golf Course, and finished fourth overall in the GWOC. Troy has a tri-match with Tipp and Northmont today, before opening Division I sectional play Wednesday.

• What’s On Deck — The Troy girls golf team will open sectional play Tuesday at Kitty Hawk Golf Course in Dayton. The Division II district golf tournament begins Wednesday.

— The Newton boys golf team earned a district berth, as did a few local individuals. The Division III district tournament will be at Weatherwax Golf Course in Middletown on Thursday. The Division II boys district will also be played at Weatherwax on the same day.

— The Division II tennis sectional will begin in Troy on Tuesday and will feature Milton-Union, Tippecanoe and Lehman.

Cleveland Browns tight end Jordan Cameron (84) runs away from Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam Jones (24) after a catch in the fourth quarter of an NFL football game on Sunday in Cleveland.

Good day for Cleveland Hoyer guides Browns past Bengals 17-6 CLEVELAND (AP) — Brian Hoyer threw the game-clinching touchdown pass, turned and sprinted up the field as more than 70,000 fans roared.

It was the same way he used to do it in his backyard as a boyv, pretending to lead his beloved Browns to victory.

On Sunday, he became a hometown hero for real.

Hoyer, the local kid who grew up dreaming of one day being Cleveland’s quarterback, threw two touchdown passes in his first start at home to lead the revived Browns to a

17-6 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

Hoyer tossed a 1-yard TD pass to Chris Ogbonnaya with 4:54 left to give the Browns (2-2) an 11-point lead before Cleveland turned it over to its vastly improved defense to put the Bengals (2-2) away.

Before the ball even dropped into Ogbonnaya’s hands, Hoyer took off running toward Cleveland’s helmet logo at the 50-yard-line with his index finger extended in the air.

Once he neared mid-field, Hoyer stopped and pumped

his fist in celebration as he did years ago after throwing a TD while playing with his brother and friends behind his family’s home in North Olmsted, Ohio.

“It’s awesome,” Hoyer. “It’s cool to play in front of the hometown crowd in this stadium, where I grew up 15 minutes away from and obviously it’s a good day because the Tribe is winning, too.”

Not long after the Browns knocked off one of their division rivals, the Indians clinched a playoff spot for See CLEVELAND | 12

Reds fall to Pirates 4-2, head into playoffs

CINCINNATI (AP) — Things were looking up for the Reds at the start of the week. They’d clinched a playoff spot and had a chance to win home-field advantage for their first playoff game.

The wild-card matchup features right-hander Johnny Cueto (5-2), who is 8-2 career at PNC Park, against lefthander Francisco Liriano (168), who is 0-3 in four starts against Cincinnati this season.

BUFFALO WILD WINGS PLAYER OF THE WEEK 2313 W. Main St. Troy 440-9016

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — As he dived through the clubhouse on a makeshift slip-and-slide drenched with beer and champagne, a euphoric Nick Swisher could only think about how far his Cleveland Indians had come, and how quickly they got there.

They staggered into September on a five-game skid that had them all but finished in the AL playoff picture and entered the final two weeks of the season essentially needing to win every game to scratch their way into the postseason.

And they did just that.

Cleveland earned its first postseason berth since 2007, beating the Minnesota Twins 5-1 Sunday to clinch an AL wild card as Ubaldo Jimenez tied a career high with 13 strikeouts.

Swisher homered in the first inning for the Indians, who became the first major league team to win its final 10 regular-season games since the 1971 Baltimore Orioles finished with 11 straight victories, according to STATS. “The way we’ve been playing as of late, talk about starting pitching, talk about clutch hitting from our guys,” a goggled Swisher hollered amid the celebration. “I’m telling you, we’re bringing that wild card game back to the 216 and that place is going to be packed out and rockin’, baby!”

Reds From page 11 Sunday, and it meant little to either team.

The Pirates played mostly backups.

Pedro Alvarez was in the lineup, giving him a chance to try to win the NL home run crown outright. He walked, was hit by a pitch and popped out, finishing tied with Arizona’s Paul Goldschmidt at 36 homers.

Baker started his regulars but began substituting after the third inning.

Corky Miller had a two-run double.

“I don’t think we’re worried about the way we finished the season,” catcher Ryan Hanigan said. “I think everybody’s excited about the opportunity. All of that is in the past. Everything is ahead of us.”

Jordy Mercer got the Pirates’ second inside-the-park homer of the season when right fielder Jay Bruce dived and

missed his sinking liner in the second inning. Mercer also had a triple off Greg Reynolds (1-3) and scored twice.

Garrett Jones homered for the Pirates, who hit nine in all during the series.

Brandon Cumpton (2-1) gave up a pair of hits in five shutout innings. Kyle Farnsworth got his second save.

On Tuesday, the Ohio River cities will add to a rivalry that has long been second-best for both cities. Cincinnati has its in-state grudge match with Cleveland. Pittsburgh also has a longstanding rivalry with Cleveland, a pair of steel cities that share a love for polkas and pierogies.

Lately, the river rivalry has moved to the forefront.

The Bengals beat the Steelers at Heinz Field last December to clinch the AFC North title and knock the Steelers

out of the postseason. They signed one of Pittsburgh’s best players — linebacker James Harrison — as a free agent and beat the Steelers again in a Monday night game at Paul Brown Stadium this month.

And now, it’s spilling over to baseball with an edgy series that got both cities’ attention during the summer — 28 batters plunked overall, the most in the majors. All those hit batters have left a mark.

It feels like a rivalry again.

“I think we’ve gotten each other’s attention since I’ve been here,” said Clint Hurdle, in his third season as the Pirates manager. “I think there’s a professional respect and there’s a desire to go out and win.

“I think the content of the games and the quality of the games over the past

three years have probably led to that a little bit. It’s kind of refreshing. That’s the way it was back when I was a kid watching these two teams play.”

The Reds are trying to get past the disappointment of their closing week.

They clinched a playoff spot on Monday night, but went in to a batting slump that allowed the Pirates to get homefield advantage for the wild card.

“As bad as things have been this weekend, we should be very happy and thankful that we’re going to Pittsburgh to play instead of being down and sad about what’s transpired,” Baker said.

“Our goal is to go to Atlanta or St. Louis (in the division series) and then give our people some more games.”

Rays, Rangers force AL wildcard tiebreaker

The Tampa Bay Rays and Texas Rangers are pushing this regular season to game No. 163.

On a Sunday punctuated by Miami’s Henderson Alvarez pitching a no-hitter, Tampa Bay and Texas both won and wound up even, forcing a tiebreaker for the second AL wild-card spot.

The Rays will play at Texas on Monday night, with the winner visiting Cleveland on Wednesday night in another all-or-nothing matchup.

Rangers rookie Martin Perez starts against reigning AL Cy Young winner David Price.

Texas gets a boost, too — AllStar slugger Nelson Cruz will be active after his 50-game penalty from Major League Baseball in the Biogenesis drug scandal.

“He’s served his suspension,” Rays star Evan Longoria said. “It is what it is. Justice has been served.”

Asked if he expected to play, Cruz said: “I think so.”

It will be baseball’s first tiebreaker — officially, this is a regular-season game and the stats count — since Minnesota beat Detroit 6-5 in 12 innings for the 2009 AL Central title.

What was supposed to be the final day of the regular season began with the possibility of a three-way tie for a pair of AL wild-card spots.

Instead, Cleveland clinched its first postseason berth since 2007, winning 5-1 at Minnesota to finish at 92-70 and one game ahead of Texas and Tampa Bay as the top wild card.

Nick Swisher homered as the Indians became the first big league team to win their final 10 regular-season games since Baltimore closed with 11 straight victories in 1971, STATS said.

“I’m telling you, we’re bringing that wild-card game back to the 216 and that place is going to be packed out and rockin’, baby!” Swisher said, citing Cleveland’s area code.

Rookie Danny Salazar is set to start for the Indians against either Texas or Tampa Bay. The NL playoff scene is settled. Johnny Cueto starts for Cincinnati against Francisco Liriano and the Pirates at Pittsburgh on Tuesday night in the NL wild-card playoff.

In the best-of-five division series, the Los Angeles Dodgers start at Atlanta and the NL wild-card winner is at St. Louis. In the AL, Detroit opens at Oakland and the wild card visits Boston.

Texas won its seventh in a row, downing the visiting Los Angeles Angels 6-2. Tampa Bay held on for a 7-6 win at Toronto.

To the Rays, this tiebreaker is a chance for payback. Texas beat Tampa Bay in the division series in 2010 and 2011. The Rangers are hosting this game because they won the season series, 4-3.

“We have something to prove in Texas,” Longoria said.

“We’ve left that place too many times with our heads down and disappointed. I feel like now is the time to be able to turn that page.”

The Tigers also are ready to move on. Alvarez threw a nohitter against the AL Central champs, and the Marlins won 1-0 on a two-out wild pitch with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Before the wrapup in Miami, Detroit manager Jim Leyland said his team already was looking ahead.

“I want to play this game, I want to win this game, but I want to get this over with and get home,” Leyland said.

“Guys are anxious. They want to get to the postseason.”

Alvarez sent them on their way, all right.

It was the fourth seasonending no-hitter ever, and first since Mike Witt of the Angels threw a perfect game at Texas in 1984.

“I knew I was pitching a nohitter early in the game, that it was a gem,” Alvarez said. “I really wanted to finish it.”

was overcome with emotion.

“I was just telling Obie, ‘by the time you caught it, I was at the 40’,” Hoyer said, smiling. “It’s just good because you know you’re capping off that long drive with a touchdown and that’s what you need to win games.”

The Bengals were out of rhythm from the start on both sides of the ball.

Cincinnati was missing two starters in its secondary — cornerback Leon Hall and safety Reggie Nelson — because of injury and the Bengals’ offense sputtered for all 60 minutes.

Mike Nugent’s two field goals were all the Bengals could muster against Cleveland’s swarming defense. Green had seven catches for 51 mostly meaningless yards as Haden blanketed him all afternoon.

It was a discouraging loss for the Bengals, who overcame four turnovers last week to beat Green Bay and wasted a chance to take early control in the AFC North.

“It wasn’t lack of effort,” Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. “Today we didn’t play well enough to win. It’s part of what we’ve got to do. We’ve got to keep growing and win.”

NOTES: Hoyer is the first Browns quarterback to win his first two starts since Mark Rypien in 1994. … Pro Bowl LT Joe Thomas made his 100th straight start, extending his consecutive snaps streak to 6,125, the NFL’s longest active streak. Thomas has not missed an offensive play since he was drafted third overall in 2007. …

Browns K Billy Cundiff made a 51-yarder after missing from 37 and 49. He missed most of the week with a quadriceps injury. … Cameron’s 30 receptions through four games are the most for a tight end in Browns history. … Browns rookie LB Barkevious Mingo started in place of injured Jabaal Sheard and recorded his third sack in three games.

Next challenge awaits No time to celebrate: Buckeyes to be tested again COLUMBUS (AP) — Judging from the postgame mood in the Ohio State locker room, it would be easy to think that No. 4 Ohio State had just had its dreams of an unbeaten season smashed.

Instead, the Buckeyes won an entertaining and competitive game 31-24 before a rowdy partisan crowd of 105,826.

But there were several reasons for the somber and sober feelings wafting in the air.

Just before he stepped before reporters, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer found out that co-captain and starting safety Christian Bryant had broken an ankle on one of the final plays.

“Our leader is in an ambulance right now going to the hospital to have surgery on his leg,” Meyer said, fighting his emotions. “There’s no doubt about if he is one of our leaders. And he’s just devastated.”

So were the Buckeyes. Bryant is their fourthleading tackler and a spirited, demonstrative beacon in the secondary. Now the senior will be out for several weeks — possibly the rest of the season — pending further analysis by team doctors.

“That’s my partner, man,” said his running mate at safety, C.J. Barnett. “We don’t expect a drop off (in talent with the replacement) but it’s huge on the leadership part. He’s like a pit bull out there.”

Meyer also wondered who would pick up the emotional slack for Bryant.

Wide receiver Devin Smith was like many Ohio State players who were still in a state of shock after Barnett was helped off the field after the 60th of

Wisconsin’s 61 offensive plays. Bryant was hurt when he made contact with another player while pursuing a Badgers receiver.

“Everyone’s hurt about it,” Smith said of Barnett’s injury. “Especially me because he’s my cousin. I’m very tight with him. He’s worked his tail off and just wanted to have a great season.”

Bryant’s most likely replacement is sophomore Ron Tanner or senior Corey “Pittsburgh” Brown.

As if that weren’t enough, there were other reasons why the celebration was muted.

The game, a draining slugfest between two evenly matched teams, ended not long before midnight.

No one could blame them if the Buckeyes were worn out after a long, emotional day.

Then there was the looming awareness for the Buckeyes that even though they had just proved themselves, now they have to do it all over again a week later.

They get another stiff test on Saturday when they travel to play No. 16 Northwestern in yet another primetime showdown.

“We got to keep moving forward and keep everybody locked in on the target,” Meyer said. “And it’s going to be a tough target again next week.”

Ohio State will step into a packed Ryan Field to meet a Northwestern (4-0) team playing its first Big Ten game on its homecoming. Coach Pat Fitzgerald, a former defensive star for the Wildcats, is in his eighth season as head coach at his alma mater They are striving to be 5-0 for the second consecutive year. Yet they’re still seeking a headlinegrabbing win to mark the program’s ascension to the national stage.

Oh, and while Ohio State was going toe-to-toe with physical Wisconsin, Northwestern had a bye week.

Cleveland From page 11 since 2007.

Suddenly, Cleveland’s beleaguered sports teams are winning.

In his second start in place of injured Brandon Weeden, Hoyer finished 25 of 38 for 269 yards and no interceptions. He threw a 2-yard TD pass in the first half to tight end Jordan Cameron, who had 10 catches for 91 yards.

But for the second week in a row, he came through in the clutch. Last week, Hoyer threw a 7-yard TD pass to Cameron with 51 seconds left as the Browns rallied to stun the Minnesota Vikings.

“Certainly he’s been the spark that I had hoped for and has led us to two games — winning two games,” said first-year coach Rob Chudzinski, who also spent his childhood pulling for the Browns.

The Bengals (2-2) couldn’t get anything going on offense and quarterback Andy Dalton was intercepted by Buster Skrine with 3:43 left, ending

any chance of a Cincinnati comeback.

Cleveland limited the Bengals to 63 yards rushing and cornerback Joe Haden contained wide receiver A.J. Green.

“We didn’t make enough plays,” said Dalton, who finished 23 of 42 for 206 yards.

“I didn’t play well enough. I expect better out of the offense.

To not score a touchdown, we’ve got too good of players and too good of a team not to do that. We have all the ability in the world on this team and we didn’t get it done.”

Hoyer began the season as Cleveland’s No. 3 quarterback.

But after Weeden sprained his right thumb, Chudzinski tabbed Hoyer as his starter.

Last week, Hoyer threw three touchdowns and three picks in the win at Minnesota. And although Weeden began throwing this week, he’s not well enough to play. Now, he could be relegated to watching Hoyer for the rest of the season.

Chudzinski would not com-

mit to Hoyer starting on Thursday against Buffalo, but it would be stunning for there to be any other choice.

“I’m still going to go through the same process,” Chudzinski said. “We’re going to go in and evaluate the tape. I thought he (Hoyer) did a great job, particularly managing some of the things early. I think guys settled in, he settled in, made some great decisions and throws and made big plays.”

Clinging to a 10-6 lead, Hoyer drove the Browns 91 yards in 12 plays for the clinching score.

Hoyer showed gorgeous touch on a 31-yard pass to Cameron to put the Browns at the Cincinnati 24. Willis McGahee, who promised a “dramatic” improvement in Cleveland’s running game this week, carried three times to the 1 and Hoyer took it from there, throwing his TD to Ogbonnaya.

Even before Ogbonnaya crossed the goal line, Hoyer

Dover domination

Johnson wins for record 8th time at track DOVER, Del. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson held off a teammate, passed a pair of Hall of Famers, and dominated once more at Dover.

His slice of track history was more than just another milestone to tack on his bio.

His latest win at his favorite track put the Chase field on notice that his run at a sixth championship in the No. 48 is gaining steam. Johnson never let Dale Earnhardt Jr. catch him down the stretch Sunday and won for a record eighth time at Dover International Speedway.

Johnson had shared the mark of seven wins on the concrete mile with Bobby Allison and Richard Petty.

“Truthfully, it was the first thought that went through my mind when I crossed the finish line,” Johnson said. “It wasn’t long after I thought about the impact of winning in the Chase.”

Johnson’s win bumped him from third to second in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship standings. Matt Kenseth, who won the first two Chase races, holds an eight-point over Johnson as the Chase heads to

Kansas for the fourth race.

Led by Johnson’s fifth win, the entire top 10 was made up of Chase drivers.

Joey Logano, Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch rounded out the top five. Kevin Harvick, Kenseth, Ryan Newman, Greg Biffle and Clint Bowyer completed the top 10.

“You’ve got to win when you’re at your best track,” Johnson said. “We had to win here today. I think any points on the 18 or 20 would have been a very good day. Max points, it’s an awesome day.”

Not so much for Earnhardt, who had one of the fastest cars, but he missed pit road and gave up the lead early in the race. He had a strong enough No. 88 Chevrolet to get back into the race and contend for his first win of the season but couldn’t pass Johnson.

“We left everybody in the mirror. We were clicking off some laps,” Earnhardt said. “But just not fast enough to get to Jimmie.”

Kenseth kept his points lead even as he fell short in trying to become the first driver to win the first three Chase races.

“For how bad I felt like we struggled with the car, that was a decent finish,” Kenseth said.

Johnson dominated as he usually does at Dover and led 243 of the 400 laps to help extend his Chase record with his 23rd career win in 93 starts in NASCAR’s version of the playoffs. He swept Dover in 2002 and 2009 and won races in 2005, 2010 and 2012.

He jumped a restart and served a pass-through penalty that cost him the win in the spring race.

Crew chief Chad Knaus brought the same car back for this one and, this time, Johnson was pretty much flawless.

Johnson has his sights set on a bigger piece of NASCAR history. He’s in the hunt for his sixth Cup championship, which would put him one behind Petty and Dale Earnhardt Sr. for most in series history.

“Jimmie is probably the most underrated champion we have in this industry,” Knaus said. “He is by far and above the most powerful driver over the course of the last 25, 35 years in this sport.”

Johnson caught a huge break when Earnhardt

slowed during a greenflag pit stop and missed the entrance to pit road.

He went from holding a 3.7-second lead on Johnson to trailing by more than 9 seconds after he finally made his stop.

Johnson took the lead — and took off for his 65th victory in 428 career starts. Even smart pit strategy that included a late four-tire stop wasn’t enough to boost Earnhardt past his Hendrick Motorsports teammate.

“The mistake I made coming on to pit road and missing pit road completely (cost us),” Earnhardt said. “If I had

not given up that track position and had a smart enough race to keep the lead when it counted, right at the end we might have won the race. It would have been hard to get by us just like it was hard to get by Jimmie.”

Other Chase driver finishes include, Kasey Kahne in 13th, Kurt Busch 21st, and Carl Edwards 35th. Edwards entered fourth in the standings but plummeted to 11th once a late tire issue sent him to the garage.

Most drivers insisted this weekend that it would not be a threedriver Chase. With seven races left, Kyle Busch is

third and only 12 points back. But Harvick and Gordon are 39 points out, and Biffle and Newman are both more than 40 points behind.

It’s going to take major problems out of the top three and an improbable winning streak from some drivers in the back to shake up the standings.

Kyle Busch has a pair of seconds and a fifth to open the Chase.

“It’s certainly appealing and you could be happy with it,” he said, “but we’re a little disappointed at the same time.”

USC fires Lane Kiffin; Orgeron is interim coach but had been firmly behind the coach until Saturday, when the Trojans matched the most points allowed in school history. The loss was the seventh in 11 games for a high-profile program still struggling under the cumulative effect of NCAA sanctions.

“He did a lot of things well under some very difficult circumstances here,” Haden said. “No one could have worked harder. He did a lot of the things we asked. Graduated players, never had compliance issues … and he really worked under some very difficult NCAA sanctions, there’s no doubt about it.”

USC must finish an already disappointing season without Kiffin while looking for another coach to reboot its proud program. The Trojans are off this week before returning Oct. 10 at the Coliseum against Arizona.

Kiffin went 28-15 in

40499757

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California fired Lane Kiffin early Sunday morning, ending the coach’s tumultuous tenure a few hours after the Trojans lost 62-41 at Arizona State.

Ed Orgeron was picked as USC’s interim head coach by athletic director Pat Haden, who dismissed Kiffin at the airport following the Trojans’ flight home. USC (3-2, 0-2 Pac12) has eight games left under Orgeron, Kiffin’s assistant head coach and the former Mississippi head coach.

“It’s never the perfect time to do these things, but I thought it was the right time,” Haden said.

Haden fired Kiffin in a 3 a.m. meeting at the Trojans’ private airport terminal, but not before a 45-minute chat in which Kiffin tried to change Haden’s mind.

Haden didn’t hire Kiffin,

parts of four seasons in his self-described dream job, but USC is 0-2 in conference play for the first time since 2001 after losses to Arizona State and Washington State — and the record only partly captures the discontent of USC’s fans and alumni.

The Trojans were unimpressive on offense even in their three victories this season, Kiffin stoking discontent around a school with sky-high expectations despite the tail end of heavy NCAA penalties stemming from coach Pete Carroll’s tenure.

Kiffin received withering criticism for persisting in calling the Trojans’ offensive plays himself well into the school’s second straight poor offensive season. The Trojans lost their home opener 10-7 to the unheralded Cougars earlier this month, and Coliseum fans serenaded USC repeatedly with chants of “Fire Kiffin!”

USC has been in a slow tailspin since going 10-2 and beating Oregon in 2011, the last year of its bowl ban. After starting as the preseason No. 1 last year, the Trojans finished 7-6 and out of the rankings, followed by this

season’s disappointments.

“I think it could easily be asked, ‘Why not last year after the 7-6 season?’”

Haden said. “‘What do you know now that you didn’t know after a 7-6 season?’ The rationale was the prior year, Lane had won 10 games.

We thought, and (were) hoping that last year was an aberration.

We felt we could rebound, make some changes, and indeed, Lane did. … But at the end of the day, we just weren’t making the progress I felt we needed to make.”

The firing comes less than five months after Haden said Kiffin had “been as good as he can be” in the face of USC’s sanctions. Before this season began, Haden said he was “100 percent” behind the embattled Kiffin.

“We support our coaches 100 percent until they’re no longer our coaches,” Haden said. “Why would you support a coach 85 percent?”

The 52-year-old Orgeron went 10-25 in three seasons at Ole Miss, but that failed tenure did little to diminish his stature as a bulldog recruiter and defensive line coach. He coached alongside Kiffin at Tennessee before following his friend back to USC. Orgeron, a Louisiana native with a thick Cajun accent, might sound a bit out of place in Los Angeles, but he’s a popular

assistant coach and a USC devotee after 11 years over two tenures at the school.

“It’s an unfortunate day today that a coach got let go, but we understand the circumstances,” Orgeron said. “I want to tell you we’re here as a staff to answer the bell. We’re all accountable for what happened as a staff and as players. Us Trojans know how to do it.”

Orgeron said Clay Helton will be his offensive coordinator and the Trojans’ play-caller. Helton, USC’s quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator, has been with the Trojans since Kiffin returned in 2010.

Most players found out about Kiffin’s dismissal by text messages in the middle of the night. The players have the next two days off before returning to practice Wednesday.

“We’ll try to move forward now and focus on these next eight games, really bonding as a Trojan family and getting these wins,” offensive lineman Marcus Martin said.

Like the precocious Kiffin’s other two head coaching jobs, his USC tenure had an abrupt, messy exit.

The Trojans’ former cooffensive coordinator was an NFL head coach at age 31, a head coach in the Southeastern Conference at 33 and USC’s head coach at 34. If there was a consistent trend to those stops with the Oakland Raiders, Tennessee and the Trojans, it was tur-

With Oakland, he lasted only 20 games as an overmatched head coach before his departure became a public feud with Al Davis, the late Raiders owner. He then infuriated Volunteers fans when he left after just 14 months to head back to the Trojans.

Former USC athletic director Mike Garrett hired Kiffin away from Tennessee to replace Seattle Seahawks coach Carroll, the architect of USC’s dynasty over the previous decade. Kiffin was an assistant under Carroll, eventually running the Trojans’ offense alongside Steve Sarkisian, now Washington’s coach.

Just a few months after Kiffin took over, USC was hit with the heaviest sanctions leveled against a program in a quarter-century, including a two-year bowl ban and the loss of 30 scholarships over three years. Kiffin had nothing to do with the misdeeds committed under Carroll and Garrett, who was swiftly dismissed and replaced by Haden.

Kiffin still faced enormous expectations at USC — especially last season, when the Trojans started out ranked No. 1 in the country with quarterback Matt Barkley and star receivers Robert Woods and Marqise Lee. USC wound up falling out of the top 10 by midSeptember, and out of the poll entirely by November, ending the season as the first team in nearly a halfcentury to open No. 1 and finish unranked. USC lost five of its last six games, including the Sun Bowl, and Kiffin parted ways with his father, defensive guru Monte Kiffin.

The scholarship restrictions gradually eroded the Trojans’ depth, and last season’s struggles clearly hurt the vaunted recruiting power of Kiffin and Orgeron. Between the sanctions and injuries, the Trojans played at Arizona State on Saturday night with 56 recruited scholarship players, well below its limit of 75 and the standard 85.

Kiffin didn’t help his navigation of the Trojans’ troubles with his standoffish personality and several strange ethical decisions.

Last year, USC was reprimanded by the Pac-12 for underinflating footballs before a loss to Oregon.

Kiffin also was criticized for switching jersey numbers on players in an attempt to deceive the Trojans’ opponents.
