Township’s parking regulations go into effect Melanie Yingst

Staff Writer myingst@civitamedia.com

CONCORD TWP. — Concord Township’s recently adopted parking regulations resolution will become effective Friday after being posted for 30 days.

Concord Township Trustees approved the resolution in August to proceed with parking regulations regarding commercial vehicles parked on township streets.

The parking regulation has been posted and printed in the Troy Daily News for the last 30 days as required, according to the approved minutes of the Sept. 17 meeting.

A copy was submitted to the Miami County Sheriff’s Office on Aug. 20.

The resolution stemmed from a resident who complained a commercial tree service truck from Clark County parked each day for 17 days straight on a residential road. Although the truck

was moved each day, avoiding the 72-hour mobility ordinance, the truck was unsightly and could be dangerous for residential walkers and children biking in the area, the resident said.

Violators of the parking resolution could be found guilty of a minor misdemeanor and subject to a fine.

The trustees also are currently researching the possibility of instituting a no-solicitation policy for the township. Trustee Bill Whidden commented that

TROY — The Oct. 1 deadline for the U.S. Government shut down has affected at least one segment of Miami County’s population — farmers.

The Farm Services Agency was closed Tuesday after it was on the list of government agencies to close its doors and furlough employees.

Troy’s branch of the Farm Service Agency, located

on 1330 N. County-Road 25-A, was closed and no one answered the phone Tuesday. According to the Farm Service Agency’s “Contingency Plan” online, the FSA will go from 11,809 employees to 70 by Oct. 4.

The Farm Service Agency is part of the United States Department of Agriculture, and its main goal is to support farms and farming communities through a variety of programs including disaster relief, conservation programs, commodity price guarantee programs and

loan programs.

Miami County Farm Bureau organization director Mandy Havenar said her office has yet to handle any major inquiries on how the FSA closing will affect local farmers.

“In terms of Direct Payments (a farm subsidy program) those may end up lapsing or go out later than they normally would,” Havenar said. “If any of our members are needing help getting answers, just call See FARMERS | 2

WASHINGTON (AP) — First slowed, then stalled by political gridlock, the vast machinery of government clanged into partial shutdown mode on Tuesday and President Barack Obama warned the longer it goes “the more families will be hurt.”

Republicans said it was his fault, not theirs.

Ominously, there were suggestions from leaders in both parties that the shutdown, heading for its second day, could last for weeks and grow to encompass a possible default by the Treasury if Congress fails to raise the nation’s debt ceiling.

“This is now all together,” said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill..

Speaking at the White House, the president accused Republicans of causing the first partial closure in 17 years as part of a non-stop “ideological crusade” to wipe out his signature health care law.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, gave as good as he got. “The president isn’t telling the whole story,’ he said in an opinion article posted on the USA Today website. “The fact is that Washington Democrats have slammed the door on reopening the government by refusing to engage in bipartisan talks.”

He spoke in a Capitol closed to regular public tours, part of the impact of a partial shutdown that sent ripples of disruption outward — from museums and memorials in Washington to Yellowstone and other national parks and to tax auditors and federal offices serving Americans coast to coast.

Officials said roughly 800,000 federal employees would be affected by the shutdown after a half-day on the job Tuesday to fill out time cards, put new messages on their voice mail and similar chores.

Among those workers were some at the National Institute of Health’s famed hospital of last resort, where officials said no new patients would be admitted for the duration of the shutdown. Dr. Francis Collins, agency director, estimated that each week the shutdown lasts will force the facility to turn away about 200 patients, 30 of them children, who want to enroll in studies of experimental treatments. Patients already at the hospital are permitted to stay.

Late Tuesday, House Republicans sought swift passage of legislation aimed at reopening small slices of the federal establishment. The bills covered the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Park Service and a portion of the Washington, D.C., government funded with local tax revenue.

Senate Democrats announced their opposition, saying Republicans shouldn’t be permitted to choose which agencies should open and which remain shut.

Ironically, a major expansion of the health care law — the very event Republicans had hoped to prevent — was unaffected as consumers flocked for the first time Tuesday to websites to shop for coverage sold by private companies.

The talk of joining the current fight — the Republicans are trying to sidetrack the health care law by holding up funding for the fiscal year that began at midnight Monday — to a dispute involving the national debt limit suggested the shutdown could go on for some time.

TIPP CITY — City, township, and school officials met Monday for their regular Tri-Agency meeting to discuss schools, possible construction projects, and upcoming levies.

Tipp City Schools Superintendent Dr. John Kronour provided the group with an update on the school district, including facilities planning and school safety. The school board voted last week to enter the “active planning process” with the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission,

which means working toward a master plan for the design and toward the approval of a bond issue for the construction of new schools.

The district is working with Ruetschle Architects to design a facilities master plan. So far they have narrowed it down to two possible options: constructing a K-8 building around L.T. Ball Intermediate or constructing one K-5 building around L.T. Ball and renovating the middle school. The district can expect to get 28 percent matching funds from the state. A bond issue to raise money for the district’s portion of the costs will be on the ballot in 2014.

With the bond issue on the ballot in 2014 could also be a permanent improvement renewal levy, Kronour said. This 5-year, 3.96 mill levy expires next December and the funds it generates can only be used to construct, add to or repair buildings.

This levy would generate about $680,000 a year, but would not be enough to take care of the maintenance issues at the districts older school buildings, Kronour said.

The district is still working with the FBI and the Tipp City Police Department to create new emergency strategies. Staff and students are receiving training

to recognize suspicious activities and learn how to respond to emergency situations. Off-duty police officers are now working at Tippecanoe High School and Broadway Elementary to maintain a visible police presence in the schools. These officers volunteer for this extra duty and wear their full uniforms and city-issued equipment.

D.A.R.E. Officer Dan Rittenhouse now has his own office in the middle school and he will also patrol L.T. Ball and Nevin Coppock. A recently donated iPad will allow Rittenhouse to take care of his administraSee AGENCY | 2

From page 1 the request of law enforcement, and therefore must be immediately accessible, would be exempted from this requirement.

Concord Township will be in compliance with the Miami County Board of Elections’ request to full fill its obligation to make the township’s building more handicap accessible for voters by the Nov. 5 general election.

Concord Township road superinten-

dent Neil Rhoades said Miami County maintenance department has prepared signs for handicap accessible parking for the township building located on Horizon West Court.

Rhoades said the signs cost $98 and a representative of the county board of elections will meet him to approve placement before final installation and painting for the parking space is made this week.

“Hopefully that will take care of that issue,” Whidden said.

Trustees had received a long list of building code requirements a few months ago, but later found the parking accessibility issue was only required at the present time.

Rhoades reported that the Swailes Run subdivision’s streets were cleared by city of Troy’s sweeper in trade for mowing an area recently. Whidden

commended Rhoades for trading services, not only with the city of Troy, but with other agencies including the county for such services.

The next Concord Township meeting will be held at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15 at the Concord Township Building on Horizon West Court.

From page 1 administrative duties without having to leave the schools.

Township water options Monroe Township is currently considering embarking on a major construction project next year: centralized water and sewer for the residents of Country Estates East.

The Water and Sewer District Board met with residents last week to discuss the possible directions this project could go in. Residents were asked to vote for

water services only, sewer services only, both, or neither.

While some properties in the area have water or sewer services already, most of the residents have septic tanks or wells, often requiring multiple wells to get enough water.

The district board’s final decision will be based on the ballots collected by Oct. 30.

“Whatever the people decide is what we’ll do,” Township Trustee Ron Thuma

said. “It’s an expensive operation, but it’s something that people need to look at.”

The district has made a preliminary layout of where water and sewer lines might be installed, but a final construction plan has not been designed. Once the district knows which direction to take the project, a final layout will be designed The project would include a contract with Tipp City for centralized water and sewer services, but board members stressed that such a contract

will not involve annexation of the township.

Monroe Township has a 3-year, 1-mill fire levy renewal coming up which will raise about $100,000. Previously the fire levy had been a 5-year levy, but it has been shortened so that it is up for renewal at the same time as the township’s EMS levy. The plan is to combine both levies in three years with a lower millage to combine fire and EMS funds and save residents money.

Farmers From page 1 us and we’ll try to help.”

Havenar said some areas of the USDA like food and meat inspections will go on as normal and Farm Credit is not affected by the government shutdown.

“Food safety is a high priority so those people have to report to work,” Havenar said. “Hopefully this is just a temporary thing, but we’ll see.”

The Farm Service Agency’s website was also “shut down” on Oct. 1 with the following message posted on its website: “Due to the lapse in federal government funding, this website is not available. After funding has been restored, please allow some time for this website to become available again.”

Havenar also said due to the government shutdown, the U.S. Farm Bill’s future remains in limbo.

According to a press release from the American Farm Bureau Federation, it joined more than 200 organizations in calling on Congress to resolve these critical financial problems.

“Congress cannot continue ‘kicking the can down the road’; it’s time to take corrective action to address the unaffordable path of entitlement spending, to stabilize federal finances and to undertake fundamental tax reform to strengthen the American economy,” AFBF and the

groups wrote on Sept. 27 in calling on Congress to resolve these critical financial problems. “Despite the looming federal budget showdown, lawmakers made more progress on the farm bill in the last two weeks than they have in the last year. However, a new, five-year farm bill is still a ways off. This isn’t sitting well with farmers and ranchers for many reasons, not the least of which is the Sept. 30 expiration of the nine-month extension of the 2008 farm bill.

“Although the Senate passed its farm bill in June, work on the legislation stopped in mid-July after the House passed a farm bill without a nutrition title. While the Senate moved ahead with appointing conferees, House leaders said they were going to hold off until they passed the nutrition portion of the bill, Boehner which they did in late September, cutting $40 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program over the next 10 years. Then, on Sept. 28, two days before the extension expiration, the House reconnected the nutrition title and the earlier passed farm provisions, finally putting the bill on track for a House-Senate conference.”

Edison looks to the future Editor’s Note: This is the final of the five-part series of stories highlighting Edison Community College as it celebrates its 40th year of service.

Focusing on Edison’s future, this piece was written by and is being submitted on behalf of Edison’s president, Dr. Cris Valdez.

The key to informing and influencing the future is to embrace and examine the past. Edison Community College’s first 40 years of service provide an ideal springboard for future endeavors, but the future is an uncertain thing and trying to predict it is difficult. There are however, tools and approaches that take some of the mystery and element of chance out of this process.

At Edison, the choice was made to engage with all internal and external stakeholders to begin our future planning. As a result, in 2011, all planning, ranging from strategic to departmental underwent a review

by President Cris Valdez Valdez with the intent to engage and energize the campus while continuing to move the campus forward to excellence.

Following this review, Edison began to develop a new strategic plan utilizing a process based on appreciative inquiry called SOAR (Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, and Results).

SOAR includes a vital listening process where stakeholders tell the organization its strengths, core competencies, advantages, and challenges; either confirming or defining what is already believed and known. All areas of the organization were engaged in the planning through participation in the SOAR process.

Nearly 200 internal and external stakeholders attended 26 focus group sessions held in early 2013. The focus group participants were representative of the following stakeholder groups: full-time and adjunct faculty members, classified and administrative employees, students, area high school representatives, university partners, Edison alumni and retirees, Edison

Trustees, chamber of commerce representatives, government/job center representatives, and industry leaders including health care, manufacturing, local non-profit organizations, and Edison vendors.

The college is now finalizing the newest iteration of its strategic plan, having sought and received broad input from students, staff, residents, and industry. The plan provides general direction through the identification of five key results on which it will maintain focus. The first four of the key results are: 1) sustain positive employee engagement; 2) practice financial sustainability; 3) cultivate and improve student success and completion; 4) actively engage with and be a valuable resource for the community.

Edison has invested in multiple leadership training opportunities for employees with an emphasis on empowerment and accountability and said opportunities are now being offered to community members. Policies have been put in place, such as mandatory orientation and the elimination of late registration, which have and will continue to increase student success.

Edison has made a concerted effort to contain operational costs and increase sector market competitiveness.

The college is confident that the attainment of these initiatives will develop a broad synergy, informed by a broad array of community constituents and executed by staff, to ensure the best use of resources for the realization of results that will be assessed and improved on an annual basis. This realization has brought the College to establishing a fifth key result; vigorously enhance awareness of the comprehensive nature of Edison.

During focus group exchanges and in multiple interactions with community members it became clear that Edison must do a better job of

articulating its programs, services and mission to all of its constituents. Some might be surprised to hear that Edison has recently won two awards for operational excellence; that Edison was the first or second choice of 90 percent of its currents students; that 93 percent of current students would recommend Edison to a friend or family member.

The College is proud that in a recent survey of local employers, 88 percent of respondents were satisfied with the Edison graduate they hired and 96 percent would consider hiring another Edison graduate.

In 2011, the mantra began that Edison “allows people to dream and realize those dreams.” Since that time Edison has produced more than 1,600 college graduates, 1,000 of those are first generation graduates, defined as graduates whose parents did not complete a college degree.

Edison Community College is committed to being a valuable resource for our region and will continue to be responsive to the needs of its students and the broader communities it serves. Today’s imminent opportunities may be replaced by new and different areas of growth tomorrow. Though future needs are difficult to predict, the college will continue listening, engaging, and adapting as circumstances require, ensuring that it remains the premier choice for academic programming, workforce development, personal enrichment, and community-focused opportunities for the area it serves.

Question: Do you feel the United States is safe from terrorism on its own soil??

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

Watch for a new poll question in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer Billy Slagle’s suicide in August, just three days before his execution, offers a revealing look at a broken death row system that mishandles potentially suicidal prisoners. It desperately needs mending.

According to an Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction report on the Slagle suicide, the Chillicothe Correctional Institution and other death row prisons must do more to evaluate prisoners as they approach their execution dates to determine whether to place them under heightened watch or take other precautions. …

Still, Gary Mohr, who heads the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, deserves praise for quickly accepting the panel’s recommendations, which include beefing up the training of relief guards on death row and seeking the advice of mental health professionals regarding inmates.

Mohr also has hired two prison experts to look at Ohio prison suicides, said Joellen Smith, a spokeswoman for the corrections department. Their report is due Nov. 15.

Their findings will be critical because Slagle wasn’t the only highprofile prisoner whose suicide is under investigation: Ariel Castro, the notorious Cleveland kidnapper and rapist, hung himself just a month into his life-plus-1,000-year sentence. …

It’s unrealistic to expect that all prison suicides can be stopped, but more can be done to try to understand and curtail it. …

The Columbus Dispatch Ohio is rich in bridges, but far behind in keeping them maintained. As the state’s fiscal picture improves and lawmakers consider how best to put resources to work, fixing bridges should be high on the list.

But there’s a predictable problem: Most of the bridges in the worst shape are owned and maintained by counties, few of which have room in their budgets for major repairs or replacements.

A study last spring, after the collapse in May of the I-5 bridge over the Skagit River in Washington, found that nearly 7,800 bridges nationwide are structurally deficient — meaning at least one major component is deteriorated and has been rated as “poor” or worse by inspectors — and “fracture-critical,” meaning it lacks redundant protections, such that failure of a single component could trigger a collapse.

Ohio, with one of the nation’s largest networks of bridges, has 384 that are both structurally deficient and fracture-critical, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation.

All but 14 are controlled by counties.

Ohio lawmakers deserve credit for moving to address the mosttroubled bridges under state control.

But if all of Ohio is to go about its business safely and efficiently, county-owned bridges can’t be allowed to continue to decline.

The (Findlay) Courier When Ohio legislators broke for their late-summer recess, they left behind much unfinished business.

But fall has arrived and it’s time to get back to the Statehouse, where lawmakers will have plenty to keep them busy.

On the top of the stack, of course, will be what to do, if anything, about Medicaid expansion. That’s an issue that Gov. John Kasich and his Republican-controlled Legislature can’t seem to agree on.

Kasich maintains that Medicaid expansion is needed in Ohio to extend coverage to 275,000 low-income people, and doing so would allow the state to collect $13 billion from the federal government over 7 years to pay for it.

GOP leaders in the House and Senate say they plan to revisit expansion, but are leaning toward a state-created plan that would allow work requirements for enrollees.

In all likelihood, however, there may be little done on the politically hot topic until after next year’s primary, if then. As is too often the case these days, it’s more likely the Medicaid expansion question will be answered by the voters.

The Healthy Ohioans Work group is now collecting signatures to place the initiative on the November 2014 ballot.

LETTERS We need more God in our lives To the Editor: Many people wonder why so many shootings and bombings are occurring. Just go to the book of all books: the book of wisdom and answers. In the time Jesus was here on Earth (2,000 years ago), there were people called “demon possessed” and Jesus cured them.

When I was younger, I wondered why the scriptures mentioned demon possession and I didn’t see any in America. I have quit wondering. I now see them. In my early days (65 years ago), a majority of people trusted Jesus and followed Christian values.

Today, a majority have rejected Jesus and His teaching. Can you see any connection?

Today, “educated” people try to find answers why people do these things. They

have all kinds of reasons and excuses, or call it a disease. There are two spirits in this world: a good spirit and an evil spirit.

Everyone follows one or the other (or oscillates). A good example of the good is Tony Dungy. Check him out.

In America, it seems like the evil is gaining ground, mayube because the good people are too lackadaisical. Our government has restricted prayer, biblical concepts and Christian values. Unless we change, evil will get worse. We sing God Bless America, but we don’t follow His ways.

We need to follow more biblical wisdom and answers — and then then God can bless us again. Any amens?

— Ralph E. Garber Covington

Doonesbury

The impossibility of gun control in the United States The Navy Yard massacre won’t revive the gun debate in Congress for a simple reason: There is no guncontrol agenda this side of a total ban and confiscation that would have stopped Aaron Alexis.

The Toomey-Manchin bill could have passed Congress unanimously. The assaultweapons ban could still be in place. Gun-controllers could have achieved their long-ago goal of barring the private purchase of handguns. And every step of his mayhem at the Washington Navy Yard would have been unimpeded.

The media rushed, based on erroneous reports from law enforcement, to place in his hands an AR-15, the popular rifle that has been used in mass shootings before and that an assaultweapons ban would prohibit.

The front page of the New York Daily News blared “Same gun, different slay.”

The newspaper’s columnist

Mike Lupica worked him- Joe Biden sounded like a self into lathers of dudgeon pitchman for Remington at over the offending gun. a Facebook town hall earlier “They call semiautomatics in the year when he urged like this sports rifles,” he a mother concerned about fumed. “You bet.

So the Navy Yard rampage demonstrates the essential sterility of the gun-control debate. It is true that James Holmes and Adam Lanza used AR-15s.

But Seung-Hui Cho and Jared Loughner used 9 mm semiautomatic pistols. And Aaron Alexis used a shotgun.

The common theme is that they were all deeply disturbed young men whose acts of murder had a sickening aspect of utter senselessness. The Daily News got it backward. Its headline about the Navy Yard should have read “Different gun, same slay.”

Maybe this time we can have a real debate about mental illness. To this point, we’ve had a simplistically instrumental focus. It’s like seeing a madman wearing a tinfoil hat to protect

himself from radio waves and thinking, “If only we could ban tinfoil …”

When Aaron Alexis called the Rhode Island police a month ago to tell them that enemies were harassing him with a microwave machine, it was clear that he was suffering paranoid delusions and needed help.

But the authorities let him go his merry way, evidently to sink deeper into the madness he mistook for reality.

If we had the same callous disregard masquerading as compassionate nonjudgmentalism for people suffering from Alzheimer’s, they would be sleeping in our streets and rotting in our jails. It needs to be easier to compel treatment for the mentally ill. There will be another Aaron Alexis. If we can’t predict what gun he’ll use, we already know his mental state.

BUENA VISTA, Colo.

(AP) — A search team set out Tuesday to recover the bodies of five hikers who were killed when a rock slide crashed onto a popular, scenic trail in Colorado.

A teenage girl survived the Monday slide and was being treated at a Denver hospital for a broken leg.

Four of the bodies can probably be recovered using hand tools, but special equipment will be needed to dislodge a huge boulder and retrieve the fifth body, said David Noltensmeyer of the North End Search and Rescue team.

He said the team might try moving the boulder with a heavy inflatable bag that firefighters use to lift large vehicles during rescues.

The slide sent 100-ton boulders onto a viewing area overlooking Agnes Vaille falls in Chalk Creek Canyon below Mount Princeton, a 14,197-foot peak in south-central Colorado.

Witnesses said some of the boulders were the size of cars.

Rescuers were unable to recover the bodies Monday because the rocks were dangerously unstable. The safety of the recovery team is still a concern and lookouts will keep a close eye on the slide.

“If anything moves, our people will come out,” he said.

Authorities have not released the names of the victims or said whether they were a single group.

A female hiker who heard

the slide ran down the trail and called for help, said Chaffee County Undersheriff John Spezze.

The area had a rainy summer and a recent snowfall, said Spezze. It was too soon to know whether the weather prompted the slide, which left a football-field-sized gash in the mountainside, he said.

“It was totally unexpected. It caught everybody by surprise,” Spezze said.

The trail is one of the first hikes recommended to people new to the area and is also popular with tourists, said Margaret Dean, a regular hiker who has walked the trail with her 7-year-old grandson.

Dean, a copy assistant at The Mountain Mail newspaper in Salida, said the trail is easily accessible and provides a view of the falls and the Chalk Creek Valley in Collegiate Peaks, which contains mountains over 14,000feet tall.

Agnes Vaille, the waterfall’s namesake, was a Denver mountaineer who died in 1925 while attempting a difficult winter climb of Longs Peak, which rises to 14,259 feet.

The U.S. Forest Service maintains the trail.

Spezze said officials have asked the Forest Service for a permanent closure.

The Forest Service says the trail got medium to heavy usage. The trailhead lies across from Chalk Lake campground and is near the St. Elmo ghost town, a popular stop for tourists in Colorado’s central mountains.

Testimony at BP oil spill trial targets response NEW ORLEANS (AP) — An employee of the company that owned the doomed Deepwater Horizon drilling rig testified Tuesday that he was surprised when BP (TSX:BP’U) scrapped his team’s design to stop the gusher in the Gulf of Mexico.

Robert Turlak, a Transocean Ltd. manager, was a witness for his employer at a federal trial that is focusing on BP’s response to the April 2010 well blowout. BP’s trial adversaries argue the company could have sealed the blown-out well much sooner if it had employed a capping strategy that Turlak and others had devised. It was ready for installation in early June.

BP ultimately used a capping stack to stop the spill July 15 after several other methods failed.

Turlak said he never heard why BP scrapped his team’s design.

“We were so close. We had come a long way,” said Turlak, Transocean’s manager of subsea engineering and well control systems.

During the first few weeks after the spill, engineers focused on two methods for stopping the flow of oil: Capping the well was one option. The other, called “top kill,” involved pumping drilling mud and other material into the Deepwater Horizon rig’s blowout preventer.

Turlak’s team was working on a strategy that was called “BOP-on-BOP” because it lowered a second blowout preventer on top of the rig’s failed one.

Turlak called it the “obvious solution,” but BP said it wasn’t a viable option because it could have made the situation worse and hampered other strategies if it failed. BP said the capping stack that later sealed the well was specifically designed to land on the well system above the blowout preventer.

BP employed the “top kill” method in May 2010, but it didn’t stop the flow of oil. Plaintiffs’ lawyers claim BP knew the strategy was doomed based on higher flow rate estimates that the company didn’t share with federal officials at the time.

The trial’s second phase opened Monday with claims that BP ignored decades of warnings about the risks of a deep-water blowout and withheld crucial information about the size of the spill.

During opening statements, BP attorney Mike Brock said the company’s efforts to stop the flow of oil were guided by an overriding principle: “Don’t make it worse.” Turlak said that was a “reasonable philosophy.”

The trial’s first phase, which ended in April, focused on the complex chain of mistakes and failures that caused the blowout.

The second phase is divided into two segments: The first centers on BP’s efforts to cap the well. The second is designed to help Barbier determine how much oil spilled into the Gulf.

Sour food, shattered glass: Cleaning Kenya’s mall NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The sour odor of rotting food overwhelms the senses. Shattered glass crunches underfoot. And evidence of looting is everpresent, including in Westgate Mall’s chandelier-filled casino.

Shop owners on Tuesday boarded up stores and removed merchandise even as Kenyan, U.S. and European investigators moved through the mall’s rubble in search of answers to the four-day terrorist attack.

A soldier inside said that two bodies had been found Tuesday, one likely a soldier. The other was burned so badly it was too difficult to say, he said.

Those cleaning up their shops wondered: Can the mall reopen? If so, when?

A mall official told The Associated Press that such questions won’t be answered until the Kenyan government gives back control of the mall to its owners, a legal holdup that may take months to resolve as the forensic investigation to find bodies and reconstruct events continues.

An Associated Press reporter on Tuesday spent about two hours inside Westgate, the site of a terrorist siege that killed at least 67 people. Kenya’s government says five attackers are dead — perhaps under the mall’s rubble — but officials acknowledge that some of the attackers may have changed clothes and walked out with fleeing, frightened shoppers.

The mall walk-through showed vast destruction where the mall caught fire and where it collapsed, but also SWAT-like tactics during the rush to rescue those inside when the gre-

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis says he doesn’t want a “Vaticancentric” church concerned about itself but a missionary church that reaches out to the poor, the young, the elderly and even to non-believers. That’s the vision he laid out as he opened a landmark meeting Tuesday on reforming the 2,000-year-old institution.

Francis convened the inaugural meeting of his eight cardinal advisers for three days of brainstorming on revamping the antiquated Vatican bureaucracy and other reforms.

The move fulfills a key mandate of the cardinals who elected him: They wanted a pope who would involve local church leaders in helping make decisions about the 1.2-billion strong church.

The closed-door meeting got underway against the backdrop of one of the most tangible signs that change is already afoot: The secretive Vatican bank, under investigation for alleged moneylaundering by Italian prosecutors, released its first-ever annual report Tuesday, the latest step toward financial transparency championed by Francis and his predecessor Benedict XVI. Net earnings at the bank, known as the Institute for Religious Works, rose more than four-fold to 86.6 million euros ($116.95 million) in 2012, the report said.

More than 50 million euros of that was given to the pope for his charitable works.

Francis has put the Vatican bank on notice, forming a commission of inquiry to look into its activities amid accusations by Italian prosecutors that its clients may have used its lax controls to launder money. The bank’s two top managers have already resigned and a Vatican monsignor has been arrested after trying to smuggle 20 million euros into Italy from Switzerland without declaring it at customs.

ebration.

Carrying f lashlights through the dark gaming area, Millionaires casino management walked carefully into the back room, where they found their main safe with several holes and gouges from bullets on it. The door remained closed, and those trying to open it would have been disappointed if they had succeeded.

It was empty.

“Look, they tried to get into the vault,” said a manager who squatted beside the green safe and pointing at the bullet scars.

“The other day when we came in and took the money out, this wasn’t here.”

In the main gaming room,

nades and bullets began flying.

Many workers wore masks to cut the stench. Surgical gloves littered the floor, and foreign and Kenyan investigators, some wearing white moon suits, worked through the rubble.

AP also saw evidence of looting, thefts that many in the mall blame on Kenyan security forces: Cash registers yanked open and the money taken, jewels from display cases gone.

Dozens of empty beer bottles — apparently enjoyed by security forces — prompted one restaurant employee to ask: “How do you expect them to kill someone if they are totally drunk?” and then wonder if maybe it was a post-siege cel-

Pope urges reform

AP Photo Bullet-holes pepper the glass door of a shop in the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya Tuesday. Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta says Kenya will keep its troops in Somalia to help that country’s beleaguered government battle the armed Islamic extremist group al-Shabab, which attacked the mall in Nairobi on Sept.

21 claiming at least 67 lives.

vice.

Kenyatta said a commission of inquiry would be formed to study security lapses from the attack.

Just outside the mall’s front entrance, bloody stretchers and three-burned out cars still stood.

In the pet store, fish floated in their tanks, dead. A mattress lay on the floor in one corner, apparently where a soldier had carried it out of the Nakumatt store to catch some rest.

Inside Nakumatt, the destroyed department and grocery store, Snickers bars had caught fire and burned. A rack of fingernail polish had melted like wax candles. Coke cans burst open from the heat. The cash registers were charred, the drawers open and empty.

There was also evidence of an attempt at an organized rescue effort. Outside Millionaires Casino, written in black marker on the wall, was: “Clear 1259,” an apparent reference to 12:59 p.m. on Sept. 21, less than an hour after the attack began.

Next door, at an Apple reseller not yet open was: “Clear 12 57.” It was an indication that the area had been cleared at 12:57 one day by security forces.

At the mall’s front entrance, near a life-size elephant, investigators were in a huddle, talking.

A restaurant employee leaned against the metal railing where people once sat in the fresh air to eat Spanish tapas.

“It will never be the way it was,” he said.

the door to the casino cage — where winning gamblers cash in their chips — had been kicked open. The money drawers were empty. The blackjack and roulette wheels were unscathed. A TV had been shot up.

Dr. Sunil Sachdevas, who has a dentist’s office on the mall’s top floor, said he is looking for a place to relocate. He said he bought terrorism insurance in 2010 but he has no policy for loss of income. Mall management asked him to reconsider.

“We told them that we would think about it, but we just can’t.

Our own patients have said they would not feel safe coming to us here, and the building is not going to be ready for months,” Sachdevas said.

Al-Shabab says it attacked the mall to force Kenya to withdraw its troops from Somalia.

The insurgent group once controlled much of the Horn of Africa nation and most of the capital, Mogadishu, but has since been pushed back

by African Union forces to the country’s south.

The group said it will carry out more terror attacks unless Kenya withdraws. Unbowed, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta vowed on Tuesday to keep Kenyan troops in Somalia until that country is stabilized and his deputy called members of al-Shabab “primitive and backward barbarians.”

“If their desire is for Kenya to pull out from Somalia, my friends all they need to do is what they should have done 20 years ago, which is to put their house in order and Kenya will come back to Kenya,” Kenyatta said at an interfaith prayer ser-

BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Thursday, Oct. 3, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Relationships are tricky today. They could be troublesome because one or both parties wants more freedom.

People will resent rules, expectations and feeling confined.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Things are unpredictable at work today, perhaps due to technological glitches, computer crashes, canceled meetings or staff shortages. Be prepared.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Gemini parents should be alert today, because this is an accident-prone day for their children. Be vigilant and patient. Angry atmospheres promote accidents.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Small appliances could break down today, or minor breakages could occur. Family discord due to conflicts or surprises might take place. Someone might be rebellious and demanding.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an accident-prone day, so slow down and take it easy. Pay attention to everything you say and do. Your daily routine will definitely have some detours.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your financial situation is unpredictable today. You might find money; you might lose money. Something you own might get broken, lost or stolen.

Stay in touch with your bank account.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You feel restless and ready for action.

You don't want others telling you what to do, which is why you will rebel against restraints. You want the freedom to do your own thing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Something that is going on behind the scenes might disturb your peace of mind. You feel it, but you might not know how to define it. It's like waiting for the other shoe to drop.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might want to break away from a group today because you no longer agree with the mandate or cause. Or someone might split apart from you.

People are independent today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) If bosses or authority figures shock or offend you today, don't overreact.

Sleep on whatever happens so that you can give everything a sober second thought. Guard against kneejerk reactions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Many things will be upsetting today -among them will be travel plans and school schedules. Expect delays and cancellations in your day. Someone unusual might amaze you.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Unexpected news about the wealth and resources of others might surprise you. It could affect you favorably or not. It is something out of the blue.

YOU BORN TODAY You are hip and up-to-date. You like to be aware of the latest fashions and trends in society.

In fact, you're interested in everything around you in an intense way.

Many of you are comfortable being role models, which is why you often set the pace for your family or group.

Insurance markets open to surge of new customers CHICAGO (AP) — The online insurance marketplaces that are at the heart of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul struggled to handle the wave of new consumers Tuesday, the first day of a six-month openenrollment period.

A combination of high demand and technical glitches seemed to overwhelm the online system early in the day. Federal and state officials were working to address the problems, which led to long waits on government websites and a federal call center.

Health and Human Services spokeswoman Joanne Peters said that more than 1 million people had visited HealthCare. gov in the last day — five times more users than have ever been on the Medicare.gov at one time.

Kimberly Shockley — logging in from Houston, Texas — and Mike Weaver, who lives in rural southern Illinois, ran into similar glitches: They could not get

past the security questions while trying to set up their personal accounts through healthcare.gov.

“I’m frustrated, very frustrated,” said Shockley, a selfemployed CPA. She spent more than an hour trying to get the security questions to work Tuesday morning without success. When she clicked on a drop-down menu of suggested security questions, none appeared. She then tried to create her own questions, but that didn’t work either.

Weaver, a self-employed photographer, said he also ran into problems with the drop-down menus. And when they started working, he still wasn’t able to set up his account.

“The first day of something that you know is going to have a lot of bugs, it’s not that frustrating,” he said. “If it was the last day to sign up … then I’d be terribly frustrated.”

Shockley has health insurance,

but is looking for a better plan.

Weaver is uninsured.

State-operated sites also experienced glitches. Rhode Island’s site opened as scheduled, but was quickly overwhelmed by visitors and went down. A spokesman for the New York Department of Health blamed problems with the 2 million visits to the website in the first 90 minutes after its launch. Washington state’s marketplace used Twitter to thank users for their patience.

Exchange officials in Colorado said their website would not be fully functional for the first month, although consumers will be able to get help applying for government subsidies during that time.

Connecticut seemed to be a bright spot. Access Health CT sent out a tweet shortly before noon Tuesday, confirming the marketplace logged 10,000 visitors in the first three hours of operation and 22 enrollments.

AP Photo Nancy Soria-Vazquez, right, an uninsured mother of two young children, talks with Alisha Sawyer, left, health and human services coordinator with Northwest New Jersey Community Action Partnership, during a rally with health advocates, Tuesday in Paterson, N.J. The rally, held at a mall, was held to promote the opening of the new health insurance marketplace created under the Affordable Care Act. According to the advocates, more than 900,000 New Jersey residents will be eligible to enroll in low-cost, comprehensive health insurance through the marketplace.

Shutdown to idle U.S.-based military commissaries

AP Photo President Barack Obama walks back toward the Oval Office after he speaking about the Affordable Care Act, his signature health care law, in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington, Tuesday. Congress plunged the nation into a partial government shutdown Tuesday as a long-running dispute over President Barack Obama’s health care law forced about 800,000 federal workers off the job, suspending all but essential services.

Americans anxious, irritated as government shuts down NEW YORK (AP) — The partial government shutdown that began Tuesday left many federal workers uncertain of their financial future, with many facing unpaid furloughs or delays in paychecks.

Park ranger and father-to-be Darquez Smith said he already lives paycheck to paycheck while putting himself through college and worried how he’ll fare if the shutdown lasts a long time.

“I’ve got a lot on my plate right now — tuition, my daughter, bills,” said Smith, 23, a ranger at Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park in Ohio. “I’m just confused and waiting just like everyone else.”

A midnight deadline to avert the shutdown passed amid congressional bickering, leaving Americans unable to get government services ranging from federally backed home loans to supplemental food assistance for children and pregnant women.

From New York’s Liberty Island to Alaska’s Denali National Park, the U.S. government closed its doors as a budget impasse idled hundreds of thousands of federal workers and halted most non-essential government services for the first time in nearly two decades.

The impact of the shutdown was mixed — immediate and far-reaching for some, annoying but minimal for others.

In Colorado, where flooding killed eight people earlier this month, emergency funds to help rebuild homes and businesses continued to flow — but federal worker furloughs were expected to slow it down.

National Guard soldiers rebuilding washed-out roads would apparently be paid on time — along with the rest of the country’s active-duty personnel — under a bill passed hours before the shutdown. Existing Social Security and Medicare benefits, veterans’ services and mail delivery were also unaffected.

Other agencies were harder hit — nearly 3,000 Federal Aviation Administration safety inspectors were furloughed along with most of the National Transportation Safety Board’s employees, including accident investigators who respond to air crashes, train collisions, pipeline explosions and other accidents.

Almost all of NASA shut down, except for Mission Control in Houston, and national parks closed along with the Smithsonian museums and the National Zoo. Even the zoo’s popular panda cam went dark, shut off for the first time since a cub

was born there Aug. 23.

Federal workers would not see their pay affected right away. If a shutdown continues, all employees can expect to be paid on schedule on Oct. 15, 2013, for hours worked from Sept. 22 through Sept. 30.

Still, Marc Cevasco, who works in the Department of Veterans Affairs, said as he waited for a bus Tuesday that the uncertainty of how long the shutdown would last made his uneasy.

“Even if it’s just shut down for a week that’s a quarter of your pay this month. That means a lot to a lot of people,” he said.

Cevasco, 30, said he had been told his office had enough money to pay workers for Tuesday, so he was keeping his appointments. But he could have to turn in his phone later in the day and go home until the government reopens.

As the shutdown loomed Monday, visitors to popular parks made their frustration with elected officials clear.

“There is no good thing going to come out of it,” said Chris Fahl, a tourist from Roanoke, Ind., who was visiting the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Park in Hodgenville, Ky. “Taxpayers are just going to be more overburdened.”

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — Members of the Armed Forces will still be paid in the partial government shutdown, but their food bills could soar if Washington’s political brinksmanship drags on.

Commissaries in the U.S. where military families can buy inexpensive groceries tax-free are shutting doors Wednesday due to the shutdown. And that could create a financial hardship for those who depend on the stores’ steeply discounted prices to make ends meet — particularly young service members with families to feed or retired veterans on fixed incomes.

About 12 million people — including military personnel, retirees and their families — are eligible to shop at the 246 commissaries on military installations worldwide. The commissaries typically carry everything a national supermarket chain would — including brand-name products — but at much lower prices than their commercial competitors.

The military is required to sell goods at its commissaries at cost. While there is a 5 percent surcharge on all products to help pay for new commissaries and improve existing ones, there is no sales tax on the products sold.

But starting Wednesday, many customers will have to find another place to shop until Congress can come to a funding agreement. The military is closing all of its domestic commissaries, although overseas stores will remain open.

“They think groceries are available everywhere, and there are places where retirees don’t have access to the commissary. But their budget isn’t built on that savings. We’ve become accustomed to paying X amount for groceries and that’s what our budget is built around.

So yes, this will have a real negative impact if it goes

on beyond a week or two,” said Scott Whitmore, a Navy retiree who lives in Marysville, Wash.

“I actually went shopping on Sunday because I saw the handwriting on the wall,” said Whitmore, who regularly shops at his nearby commissary.

On social media, there were widespread reports of long lines and empty store shelves at commissaries nationwide Tuesday as military families scrambled to buy groceries before their local stores closed.

Whitmore and his wife are raising their 9-year-old granddaughter and said he mentioned the closings to another military parent at the bus stop on Tuesday, urging her to stock up.

“We go to the regular grocery stores in town and go, ‘How do these people do this?” Whitmore said.

The Defense Commissary Agency based at Fort Lee, Va. says its shoppers save more than 30 percent, on average, compared with commercial prices. The agency says a family of four that shops at a commissary year-round has an annual savings of about $4,500.

That’s significant, given that many entry-level members of the military make about $20,000 a year, excluding bonuses and allowances for housing and meals, under certain conditions.

“We are acutely aware of the hardships placed on all our customers if we cannot deliver their commissary benefit,” Joseph H. Jeu, the Defense Commissary Agency’s director and CEO, said in a statement.

“However, because of their geographic location, our service members and their families overseas have a more critical dependence on commissaries, and we are prepared to continue that support.”

Among members of the military community, commissaries are seen as a major perk.

Wednesday, October 2, 2013

Nearly 1,000 Iraqis killed in September the recent uptick in double-digit daily death tolls has stunned many Iraqis after several years of relative calm. It also has raised fears that longdormant Shiite militias could renew their campaign of retaliatory violence.

“If the security forces are not capable of protecting us, we will protect ourselves and end the misery,” said Hatem Muhsin, who lives in Sadr City, a Shiite enclave in Baghdad. “The sectarian war has just started.”

Al-Qaida in Iraq has claimed responsibility for much of the violence, including a string of car bombings that targeted mostly Shiite neighborhoods in Baghdad on Monday, killing 55 people.

Sheik Mahmoud Abdel Rahman’s 11-month-old grandson, Latif, and the child’s mother, Hasnah Abdel Rasul, were among them. The infant was wrapped in a shroud with verses from the Quran as Abdel Rahman carried it in a procession to bury his two loved ones in the Shiite holy city of Najaf.

The al-Qaida umbrella group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant said Monday’s attacks were in retaliation for the “arrests, torturing and targeting of Sunnis” by the Shiite-led government. It vowed more attacks.

The statement’s authenticity could not be independently confirmed but it was posted on a website commonly used by militants and its style was consistent with earlier statements by the terror network.

Anger among Iraq’s minority Muslim sect stems largely from allegations of abuses and vague anti-terrorism laws that allow random arrests at the hands of the Shiite-led government, which gained power after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein’s Sunni-dominated regime.

Zimbabwe: Poachers poison 91 elephants

HWANGE, Zimbabwe (AP) — The stench of rotting elephant carcasses hangs in the air in western Zimbabwe, where wildlife officials say at least 91 elephants were poisoned with cyanide by poachers who hack off the tusks for the lucrative illegal ivory market.

Massive bones, some already bleached by the blistering sun in the Hwange National Park, litter the landscape around one remote watering hole where 18 carcasses were found. Officials say cyanide used in gold mining was spread by poachers over flat “salt pans,” also known as natural, mineralrich salt licks. They say lions, hyenas and vultures have died from feeding on contaminated carcasses or drinking nearby.

“The magnitude of what we are witnessing today is much higher than what has occurred previously,” environment minister Saviour Kasukuwere told reporters on a trip to the park Monday.

Cyanide attacks the bloodstream, kills almost instantly and causes rapid decomposition. Most of the poisoned elephants died in the past month. The chemical is commonly used by illegal gold panners to separate the metal from surrounding ore and is easily available.

Nine suspected poachers have been arrested this month after the biggest, most brutal poaching spree on record. Three men were

sentenced to up to 16 years in jail. The Hwange park, stretching over 14,000 square kilometers (5,400 square miles), has one of the highest concentrations of elephants in Africa.

Kasukuwere, newly appointed to the environment ministry after disputed elections won by longtime President Robert Mugabe in July, said Zimbabwe will intensify efforts to campaign among world nations — including Asia, where there is the highest demand for ivory — to curb a trade declared illegal by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.

Tusks of the poisoned elephants are thought to have been smuggled into neighboring South Africa through illicit syndicates that pay desperately poor poachers a fraction of the $1,500 a kilogram (2.2 pounds) that ivory can fetch on the black market.

“We will cooperate with international organizations such as Interpol to crack down on the pay masters. So the war is on, it’s a war which we will win, we are not going to surrender,” Kasukuwere said.

The state Environmental Management Authority is planning to burn the elephant carcasses and call in experts to detoxify the affected areas, beginning with digging out the salt licks and removing the top layers of soil contaminated by the cyanide granules.

BAGHDAD (AP) — An Iraqi sheik cradled his grandson’s tightly wrapped body Tuesday, his face grim and his eyes downcast, trailed by men bearing the coffin of the infant’s mother.

The mother and son were killed the day before by a bombing in Baghdad — two among nearly 1,000 Iraqi lives lost to violence in September. The heartbreaking image, captured in an Associated Press photo, illuminates the human tragedy behind the numbers.

Sectarian bloodshed has surged to levels not seen in Iraq since 2008.

More than 5,000 people have been killed since April, when a deadly government raid on a Sunni protest camp unleashed a new round of violence that showed al-Qaida in Iraq is still strong despite years of U.S.-Iraqi offensives against the terror group.

At least 979 people — 887 civilians and 92 soldiers and national policemen — were killed in September, a 22 percent increase from the previous month, the U.N. mission in Iraq said Tuesday.

Baghdad was hit hardest, with 418 violent deaths.

The U.N. also reported that 2,133 people were wounded nationwide in the relentless car bombings, suicide attacks and shootings.

The spike reversed a brief decline to 804 in August after the death toll reached 1,057 in July, the highest since June 2008 when 975 people were killed.

By comparison, 3,718 civilians were killed in December 2006, the deadliest month of the war, according to a U.S. military tally.

An influx of U.S. troops, a Shiite militia ceasefire and a Sunni revolt against the extremists among them combined to stop the country’s slide toward civil war in 2008.

While violence has never stopped in Iraq,

Maintaining order Seeds (mostly) hold at D-II sectional Staff Reports

TROY — It’s tough to break through to the district level unseeded.

It can also be hard, sometimes, to hold those seeds.

For the most part, the seeds held at the first day of the Division II sectional tennis tournament Tuesday at Troy High School and Troy Community Park, as Milton-Union’s Brooke Falb, Tippecanoe’s Nefeli Supinger, the Bulldog doubles team of Jesica Ferguson and Claire Fetters and the Red Devils team of Hailey Winblad and Taylor Sutton advanced to next week’s district tournament by reaching the semifi-

nal round.

Also punching its district ticket, though was the unseeded Lehman doubles team of Julia Harrelson and Sarah Gravunder, who took advantage of an earlier upset and reached the sectional semifinals.

Falb — a sectional champion at doubles last season and the top-seeded singles player — had little trouble advancing.

She shut out Kenton Ridge’s Abby Baucant 6-0, 6-0 and Brookville’s Millie Rohrer 6-0, 6-0, then she beat Springfield Shawnee’s Sadie DeWitt 6-1, 6-1 to reach the final four.

Falb will face Supinger, See ORDER | 16

Getting it done Troy keeps pace atop division with huge win Colin Foster

Associate Sports Editor colinfoster@civitasmedia.com

SIDNEY — Troy’s sense of urgency picked up as the clock inched closer and closer to zero.

This game meant everything.

Locked in a scoreless battle on the road against Sidney Tuesday night, a win was crucial for the Trojans in order to maintain pace with Butler in the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division title race.

DAYTON — Aside from one, the Troy Trojans struggled at the Division I sectional girls golf tournament Tuesday at Kitty Hawk.

And they didn’t let it stop them.

The Trojans finished in fourth place with a team score of 389, sealing a spot at the district tournament for the second straight season.

Caroline Elsass-Smith had her best 18-hole round of the year with an 83 to lead the way.

“Caroline had an outstanding round,” first-year Troy coach Tom Mercer said. “She managed the course well and shot her best tournament score of the whole year.”

Morgan McKinney followed with a 98, Caitlin Dowling shot a 102, Ali Helman shot a 106 and LeeAnn Black shot a 120.

“I’m sure the other girls felt like they struggled today and could have done better,” Mercer said.

COVINGTON — Some time off did Miami East good.

The Vikings (14-4, 9-0 Cross County Conference) played strong in a 25-3, 25-12, 25-10 victory at Covington Tuesday night — their first match in a week’s time after a particularly busy stretch.

“Coming off a few days off, we looked rested,” Miami East coach John Cash said. “We ran some really good offense and were pretty efficient tonight. We had a lot of kills, we did a good job of winning the long points and we served aggressively.”

Done From page 13 something to celebrate.

Sidney did a good job of clearing the ball around goal early on and for most of the game, leaving Troy with one solid chance in the first ten minutes, which came on a corner kick was that was batted down by goalie Ben Snavley.

That was the first of many corners in the opening half for the Trojans.

Sidney dodged a bullet with 16 minutes left in the first half, when a player inadvertently started a fast break for Witmer. Witmer was streaking towards the goal, but he was chased down from behind and the ball was cleared out.

Less than two minutes later, the Yellow Jackets got out of trouble once again. A Trojan headed the ball towards the net on a corner kick and a Sidney player deflected it out at the last second.

Sidney’s first real offensive threat came on a breakaway with 26:20 left, but it was kicked right in hands of goalie Alex Williams.

Nick Kleptz nearly put Troy on the scoreboard with 30 minutes to go. After getting behind the Sidney goalie in a crowded box, Kleptz lofted a shot, but Brad Burden made a diving kick save to deny Troy a 1-0 lead.

The Jackets retaliated with some offensive pressure of their own, but Alex Williams saved the day with a diving save of his own on a header attempt by Sidney’s Blake Steenrod with 23 minutes to play.

After Witmer’s goal, Sidney’s offensive pressure intensified — and goalie Alex Williams got some work in.

Williams had a ball get by him on a breakaway, but he chased it down before it went in net with 12 minutes left. On a deep free kick moments later, Williams jumped in the middle of three converging Jackets and snatched the ball out of the air.

Sidney had the ball in the Troy goal box with 5:30 left, but the Troy ‘D’ cleared a ball and kept its one goal cushion. Shortly after, Kleptz sealed the game with goal No. 2.

Troy (9-1-2, 3-0-1) hosts Xenia Thursday.

Buckeyes like to run then throw over a defense COLUMBUS (AP) — Urban Meyer prefers the thunder. But that just sets up the lightning.

No. 4 Ohio State runs on 60 percent of its plays.

Sending the tailbacks up the middle or Braxton Miller around end serve as body blows to soften a defense for what might just happen if they start to lean too heavily toward the line to stop the ground attack.

Then the Buckeyes throw deep.

“We couldn’t do that last year. There were games I refused to call it because they were going to be covered and we couldn’t throw it,” Meyer said. “This Saturday, we are going to try the same thing. That’s a big part of who we are. So we would have more explosive pass plays. I don’t know if I remember this many early in the season, ever.”

No fewer than 15 times, the Buckeyes have completed a touchdown pass that has covered at least 20 yards. Some were short passes turned into a big gain, but most reflect the Buckeyes’ ability to throw deep passes more effectively this season.

It’s an either/or proposition for opposing teams.

No. 16 Northwestern is the next foe to face that challenge on Saturday.

Ohio State (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten) has run for 14 touchdowns so far. It has recorded 19 touchdown passes.

AP photo Ohio State wide receiver Corey Brown, top, celebrates his touchdown against Wisconsin with teammates during the second quarter in Columbus.

To put that into perspective, only nine times in the program’s previous 123 years have the Buckeyes thrown more scoring passes in an entire season. And the current squad still has seven regular-season games remaining.

They are on pace to easily eclipse the school record for scoring passes in a season of 33, set by Bobby Hoying and Co. in 1995.

Miller missed almost three entire games but came back to throw four scoring passes in Saturday’s 31-24 win over No. 23 Wisconsin — three of them covering

25, 26 and 40 yards.

When Miller was out, Kenny Guiton filled in against mediocre teams and threw 13 scoring passes — including a school-record six in the first half over Florida A&M. Tom Herman, Ohio State’s quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator, said the Buckeyes started throwing more bombs because they had to.

“You guys saw how people started playing us the latter half of last year. In order for us to be able to be who we want to be running the football, we had to

make (the deep pass) a viable threat,” Herman said. “So we worked our tails off all spring, all offseason, all two-a-days to make sure we were effective — if not proficient — at throwing the ball down the field when people wanted to load the line of scrimmage to stop the run.”

All that hard work hardened and refined a group of wide receivers that Meyer had belittled much of his first season.

He called them subpar, mediocre and uninspired.

Now he is their biggest backer, throwing compliments their way at every opportunity.

Corey Brown has five touchdown receptions to share the team lead with Devin Smith, while Chris Fields has four and Evan Spencer three. All have been dependable targets so far.

Brown said he’s not a bit surprised that the Buckeyes have suddenly shown a propensity for airing it out.

“Not with the amount of work we did in the offseason with Braxton and Kenny,” he said. “As much pressure as coach Meyer put on us to get better as a unit, I think this was kind of expected.”

A year after not really having a quick-strike offense when passing, the Buckeyes are suddenly capable of scoring in a hurry.

“We can throw a deep ball,” Meyer said.

Browns developing dominant defense

BEREA (AP) — Phil Taylor strutted into the locker room last week with three chicken wings stuffed in his mouth and one in his hand.

The big man’s always hungry.

And Cleveland’s massive nose tackle, who brings a nasty appetite for destruction to the field, is also one of the leaders of a Browns defense that’s been devouring running backs this season.

With impressive, stifling performances the past two weeks, Cleveland’s defense is quickly establishing itself as one of the NFL’s most dominant units. On Sunday, the Browns held the Cincinnati Bengals to just two field goals and 63 rushing yards in a 17-6 win. The previous week, the Browns limited Minnesota superstar Adrian Peterson to 88 yards and forced three key turnovers in a 31-27 victory.

Through four games, the Browns are allowing just 2.9 yards per carry — a league low — and are the only defense not to give up a

Troy’s Andrew Bricker dribbles the ball around a Sidney defender Tuesday night.

run of 15 yards or longer.

It’s a pattern linebacker D’Qwell Jackson expects to continue.

“No one is going to be able to run on us this year,” Jackson boasted Tuesday as the Browns got ready to face the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night. “As long as we stay healthy and continue to grind the tape out and do what we need to do on Sunday, I don’t think anyone will be able to run on us.

We’ve faced one of the purest running backs in Adrian Peterson, so we feel like that’s what we do best, stopping the run.

“We want to be a top defense when this season is over with.”

The Browns are on their way.

With exceptional depth up front and an improving secondary anchored by cornerback Joe Haden, who locked down Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green, Cleveland’s defense, under first-year coordinator Ray Horton, has the makings of something special.

And what makes the Browns’ strong start more impressive is

that the defense has not yet been at full strength as rookie outside linebacker Barkevious Mingo, linebacker Jabaal Sheard and end Ahtyba Rubin have all missed games with injuries.

“I think that’s a great sign for us,” said right end Desmond Bryant, one of Cleveland’s top freeagent signings. “It’s a sign of what we’re capable of, but we know we haven’t played our best game yet and we still have a lot of things we can clean up, a lot of things to improve.”

Bills quarterback EJ Manuel has watched Cleveland’s defense on tape and knows he’s got his hands full this week.

“I see some guys who can get after the passer,” he said.

“Definitely guys with really good size. Barkevious is doing a great job filling the gaps as well as dropping back in coverage. He’s done a great job rushing the passer as well. All of those things we’ll have to pick up for our protection so we can get the ball down the field.”

Introducing

From page 13 they were struggling, they couldn’t throw in the towel and still had to do their best because there were four other girls counting on them.

“I was really proud of of all of the girls today. You could see that determination on their faces. They knew that every shot counted and they had to keep plugging away.”

Centerville won the tournament, followed by Springboro and Miamisburg. Even though Troy held a slim one-stroke

lead over Greenville at the turn, they ended up easily beating out fifth-place Springfield Shawnee, which shot 411.

“Distance-wise, Kitty Hawk is a little longer than where we’ve played other 18-hole tournaments, and it provides some challenges with water and bunkers where if you don’t place your shot right, you could be in a bunker and still be 180 yards away from the hole. I was proud of the girls today and how they hung in

and didn’t quit.

“This is my first year, but they told me that last year they went to the district tournament — and finished last once they were there. So our goal is to not finish last this year. The girls have had an outstanding season, and I couldn’t be more proud of them.”

The district tournament is Oct. 10 at Weatherwax.
