Coats collected for needy children Melody Vallieu

Official: Woman killed in DC was delusional STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) — The Connecticut woman who was shot to death outside the U.S. Capitol after trying to ram her car through a White House barrier had been deteriorating mentally for months and believed the president was communicating with her, a federal law enforcement official said Friday.

MIAMI COUNTY — Cleaning out your coat closet could help a child stay warm this winter.

The Miami County Sheriff ’s Office, along with Sunset Cleaners in Troy, now is accepting children’s coats — in good condition — for distribution to needy children in Miami County, as part of “Operation Cover-Up.” The coat drive is being offered for the 23rd year and sheriff’s office staff hope this year will be as successful as previ-

ous years, according to Rena Gumerlock, Sheriff Charles Cox’ administrative assistant.

Coats are being accepted at Troy Sunset Cleaners, 25 S. Elm St., Troy, and the Miami County Sheriff ’s Office in the Miami County Safety Building, 201 W. Main St., Troy. Gumerlock said donations also will be accepted at the Piqua Sunset Cleaners, 111 S. Downing St., Piqua.

The deadline for coats to be dropped off is Oct. 29, Gumerlock said.

Coats then will be distributed at the Miami County Fairgrounds’ Shop

and Crop building from 9-11 a.m. Nov. 2.

Gumerlock said that during the previous 22 drives, tens of thousands of coats have been collected and cleaned for children in need in Miami County. She said the drive usually brings in about 1,000 coats each year.

She said while lighter jackets and windbreakers will still be distributed, the bulk of coats needed is heavy coats — the kind needed to survive an unpredictable Ohio winter.

Children’s coats are needed, however, Gumerlock said older children need adult coats.

“But, a bigger kid needs an adult coat, so anything I can get I will take,” she said.

Gumerlock, who said she sent fliers to every school in the county reminding them of the drive and distribution date, said they also has begun accepting hats, scarves and mittens for distribution. She said there are several older ladies in the county that even knit hats during the year and donate them to the drive by the bagfull.

She said on distribution day, people are lined up outside the building waiting — and people are always extremely thankful

for the help.

“We always try to have a couple uniformed deputies there, and the kids will give the deputies hugs and tell them thank you,” Gumerlock said. “It’s all worth it.”

Gumerlock said as she looks among the piles of coats each year, she is touched by the community’s desire to help one another.

“This community just responds to peoples’ needs,” she said. “The drive benefits a lot of people.”

TROY —Miami County Coroner Steve Huffman M.D. has ruled the death of Al Pickett as suicide by multiple gun shot wounds after a domestic violence call on Aug. 20, which led two Troy Police officers to shoot and kill Pickett outside of an apartment complex in Troy.

“The Miami County Coroner’s investigation is complete and the manner of death concerning Al Pickett is suicide and the cause of death is multiple gunshot wounds,” Huffman said via email.

“This is based on my investigation that Mr. Pickett’s actions and having a suicide note in his pocket at the time of death. “ The autopsy report stated Pickett was shot nine times, according the Montgomery County Coroner’s findings. Six of the gun shot wounds were in the lower abdomen, pelvis and right upper leg, two in the chest and one in the right shoulder. Huffman noted that Pickett was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of death.

Pickett, 52, of Troy, was pronounced dead on the scene in the courtyard of the Buckeye Community Apartments on Staunton Commons.

Drug drop off

Residents can drop off outdated prescriptions Melanie Yingst

Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

MIAMI COUNTY — Not quite sure what to do with your undated or no-longer-needed prescription medications?

Now the Miami County Sheriff’s Office has a designated drug drop-off box located in the lobby of the downtown Sheriff’s Office to collect medications —

no questions asked.

According to Chief Deputy Dave Duchak, the drug drop-off box stemmed from the overwhelming turn out during the sheriff’s drugdrop off at the county’s transfer station throughout the year.

“Sheriff (Charles) Cox learned about the drug drop-off boxes at a law enforcement convention and wanted to bring something other

departments around the country have been doing here to Miami County,” Duchak said.

The prescription drug drop-off box is located in the lobby of the Sheriff’s Office, 201 W. Main St., Troy.The lobby is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is anonymous.

There is no paperwork to complete and no one you need to speak with, simply drop your old or unused prescription

Brukner hosting ‘dine Homecoming royalty to donate’ events Colin Foster

Staff Writer colinfoster@civitasmedia.com

The Brukner Nature Center has hosted its Dine to Donate events at several different venues, both locally and in the Dayton area.

Brukner has held Dine to Donate events at some of Troy’s most recognizable establishments such as Cold Stone Creamery, Marion’s Pizza, Buffalo Wild Wings, Waffle House, Applebees, Culvers, Friendly’s and Bob Evans.

The non-profit organization has also held the

event at the Mongolian Grill at the Greene and at Max & Erma’s on Miller Lane.

This time around, though, Brukner will take the event to a new site — Buffalo Wings & Rings, located at 989 E. Ash St. in Piqua. The event will be held from 5-8 p.m. Oct. 17.

“This is the first time we’ve done it with them, so we’re pretty excited to do it up in the Piqua area,” Brukner Nature Center Executive Director Deb Oexmann said.

In exchange, Buffalo Wings & Rings will donate

a portion of all sales to the wildlife at Brukner Nature Center. The donation will go toward helping wildlife in need.

“It goes to support the wildlife rehab unit,” Oexmann said. “We take in orphans and injured in Ohio wildlife and hopefully get them well enough to go back in the wild again.”

“We average over a $100 for each one. It’s a nice way for member of the community to support the Brukner Nature Center and support local restaurants at the same time.”

Closed national parks adds visitors to state parks

AP Photo Cathy Vu, from Annandale, Va., packs up her truck on Constitution Avenue across the street from the National Archives, behind left, and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) behind right, Friday, Oct. 4 in Washington. Vu said today is the only day this week she has come out with the truck, and that business has been bad, since the federal government shutdown started Tuesday.

Prospect for quick end to shutdown is remote WASHINGTON (AP) — Prospects for a swift end to the 4-day-old partial government shutdown all but vanished Friday as lawmakers squabbled into the weekend and increasingly shifted their focus to a midmonth deadline for averting a threatened first-ever default.

“This isn’t some damn game,” said House Speaker John Boehner, as the White House and Democrats held to their position of agreeing to negotiate only after the government is reopened and the $16.7 trillion debt limit raised.

House Republicans appeared to be shifting their demands, deemphasizing their previous insistence on defunding the health care overhaul in exchange for re-opening the government. Instead, they ramped up calls for cuts in federal

benefit programs and future deficits, items that Boehner has said repeatedly will be part of any talks on debt limit legislation.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., also said the two issues were linked. “We not only have a shutdown but we have the full faith and credit of our nation before us in a week or ten days,” he said.

Reid and other Democrats blocked numerous attempts by Sen. Ted Cruz, a leading architect of the “defund Obamacare” strategy, to approve House-passed bills reopening portions of the government.

The Texas Republican said repeatedly Obama and Democrats were to blame for the impasse.

But Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., likened the Republican strategy to

“smashing a piece of crockery with a hammer, gluing two or three bits back together today, a couple more tomorrow, and two or three more the day after that.”

For all the rhetoric, there was no evident urgency about ending the partial shutdown before the weekend.

The Republican-controlled House arranged to vote on legislation providing funds for disaster assistance, then for the Women’s, Infants and Children nutrition program.

Saturday’s agenda called for passing a bill to assure post-shutdown pay for an estimated 800,000 furloughed federal employees off the job since mid-day Tuesday, then turning off the lights on the House floor until Monday night to allow lawmakers to fly home for two days.

Duchak said for those who need to drop-off the unused prescription drugs, please use a container. The pills will be collected by officials and destroyed at the Miami

County Transfer Station.

The drug drop box will allow anyone to drop off unused prescription drugs at the Sheriff ’s Office during normal business hours. The pills are destroyed in a manner that does not cause environmental harm by getting into our rivers, streams, and water table.

By ridding one’s household of used or unwanted medications it also reduc-

es the likelihood of young people having access to abuse them.

The Miami County Sheriff’s Office will also continue to partner with the Miami County Transfer Station and will be hosting four drug-drop off dates a year. The next one will be on October 26, 2013 from 10 a.m until 2 p.m.

Any items dropped off should be in pill or patch form only, no liquids or needles will be accepted.

“The good news is, our state parks are available, and some of those are just as spectacular and just as convenient as some of our national parks.”

— Gary Herbert, Utah governor been more busy than ever,” Blackwelder said. “We haven’t turned anybody away.”

At his monthly televised news conference Thursday, Gov. Gary Herbert said the national park closures have jeopardized about 10 percent of the state’s expected tourism revenues for October.

“The good news is, our state parks are available, and some of those are just as spectacular and just as convenient as some of our national parks,” Herbert said.

The governor said state tourism officials have launched a mini-campaign to redirect would-be national park visitors to state sites.

For some commercial tour companies that were counting on national parks, the state parks have been a last-minute replacement for their busses of tourists.

“We get an average of one or two commercial groups per month, and we had five Wednesday and six Tuesday,” Kodachrome Basin State Park manager Aaron Farmer said. “We had a line of people waiting to get in.”

At Snow Canyon State Park, the number of visitors this week has jumped 50 percent, manager Kristen Comella said.

“The general tone from U.S. travelers is of disappointment and disgust; that they were expecting more from their government,” Comella said.

“International travelers seem pretty shocked. This was not something they expected from the U.S. government.”

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The partial shutdown of the federal government has shuttered Utah’s five national parks, but the closures have brought floods of visitors to state parks, officials said.

Utah’s 43 state parks often are overshadowed by their national counterparts, including the iconic Arches National Park.

“We have trouble sometimes dragging people away from the national parks,” Utah State Parks director Fred Hayes said.

“They seem to think that is all there is to see.”

But tourists wanting to take in the state’s natural beauty this week are now flocking to places like Dead Horse Point State Park, and park officials are reporting record numbers of visitors.

Hayes told The Salt Lake Tribune (http:// bit.ly/1a4250R ) that the record numbers of visitors will not last, but officials hope it helps raise the profile of state parks and will lead to more visitors in the long run.

“Folks will go back and talk about their vacation with friends, and people will expect them to say ‘our trip was ruined’,” he said.

“We hope they respond and say ‘we saw some really cool stuff and you should include it on your Utah itinerary when you go’. We know their trip this week was memorable, but we hope state parks made it a positive memory.”

Dead Horse Point State Park normally is busy this time of year, and park officials were expecting a bump because of a shutdown. But the increase in visitors was “pretty overwhelming,” said park manager Megan Blackwelder.

Blackwelder said Dead Horse Point State Park, which is adjacent to Canyonlands National Park, saw a record number of cars and tourist buses in its parking lot this week.

Park staff counted 588 cars on Tuesday, well above the park’s previous record of 350 cars from Memorial Day. “We are putting cars wherever we can, and our gift shop manager has

The two officers involved in the incident were patrolmen Matthew Moiser and Zac Mumford who were placed on paid administrative leave, per city policy and standard protocol, after they shot and killed Pickett. Both have since been placed on administrative duty by city officials.

his family, ” Huffman said in his statement. “In my opinion, the Troy police officers involved acted professionally and as they were trained to do.”

Pickett was armed with a gun and a knife outside of the apartment complex, according to 9-1-1 audio from a call made inside the apartment shortly after 10 p.m. Patrolman Brian Ross also was at the scene during the incident, but did not fire any shots, according to officials.

Pleading for her life, the female victim, later identified as Picket’s estranged wife, was allegedly stabbed by Pickett before going outside and confronting police in the courtyard with a gun, according to the Miami County 9-1-1 audio.

According to the 9-1-1 audio, the adult female plead with Pickett and repeatedly stated, “Please don’t hurt me” as Pickett ordered her to lay down.

The female also stated that, “I’ll drop the charges” and “the cops are not going to kill you” and “you don’t have to do this” during the 8-minute phone call.

Troy Police Chief Charles Phelps requested the Bureau of Criminal Investigation serve as an independent agency to handle the case.

Moiser joined the Troy Police Department in 2003 and Mumford in 2007.

UVMC Foundation, auxiliary award annual scholarships TROY – Since 2001, the UVMC Foundation and the UVMC Auxiliary combined have awarded more than $765,000 in scholarships to those pursuing a health-related degree.

Over the years, 642 individuals have received scholarships, with several recipients awarded a scholarship more than once, according to the Foundation Office staff.

“As the cost of a college education has continued to increase, these scholarships we award annually from the UVMC Foundation and the UVMC Auxiliary go a long way toward helping deserving young people in our community pursue their dreams of a career in a health care related field,” said Kathleen Scarbrough, President, UVMC Foundation, and Executive Director, Fund Development and Community Affairs.

The scholarship application form is posted on line on the UVMC website

at the beginning of each calendar year.

A universal application form is used although there are many different scholarships, Scarbrough said. An exception is the internal UVMC Sharing Plus scholarships available to UVMC employees’ children who can be pursuing a degree in any field.

The universal scholarship application when filed must be accompanied by an essay about the individual’s educational goals and how a scholarship would help them achieve those goals; two letters of recommendation from non-family members who know them; and a current school transcript.

Although scholarships are for those pursuing a health-related degree, individual scholarships have various additional requirements such as residency in a particular county (usually Miami) or a number of college credit hours completed.

Some scholarships are open only to UVMC employees or their children.

Applications received by the scholarship deadline in March are reviewed for completeness and then by the various scholarship review committees.

The committees may be looking at factors such as grade point average, need, essay, degree being pursued and so forth.

Each year, around 100 applications are received for scholarships.

“We wish we could give a scholarship to everyone as all the applicants are very deserving,” Scarbrough said.

“Unfortunately, due to limited monies available, we can only fund those who score the highest on the various dimensions that the reviewers look at.”

Annual blood drive challenge continues TROY — Troy blood donors stepped up to “the Challenge” Wednesday the 2013 Community Blood Center/US Bank TroyPiqua Challenge — by answering Monday’s blood drive in Piqua with their own at the Troy US Bank branch on West Main Street.

A $1,000 prize to the winning school is on the line, and donors lined up to back their school and community.

Two CBC Bloodmobiles were parked nose to tail at the US Bank branch Wednesday, and they were soon bustling on a day that threatened rain then turned sunny. That was a very good omen for Troy, considering the soggy start to Piqua’s blood drive on Monday. US Bank Troy Manager Deborah Wildermuth was absolutely pumped up for the community blood drive.

“All three of my branches in Troy, we’ve just blanketed them with flyers,” said Deborah. “I’ve contacted my business customers and asked them to hang up fliers.

We went to the school and visited the principal (Bill Overla, who came by the blood drive later to donate). Everybody in town is excited about the blood drive, winning is important to everyone. Not just for the $1,000 but because when you donate you get to save up to three lives.”

The rush to fill the bus came from both the volunteers’ advance work and spur-ofthe-moment opportunity.

“I was driving by, saw the buses and turned around and came back,” said Caleb Comers.

It was his day off from the Miami County Sheriff’s Office and he had just picked up his 3-year-old daughter Olivia from preschool. Olivia munched cookies and drew pictures while Caleb donated and voted for Troy.

“I saw you guys were here,” said JoAnna Bass who stopped to donate and vote for Troy “You come to my work all the time (Freudenberg), that’s where I always donate. But I thought why not today?”

Plenty of donors had circled the TroyPiqua Challenge Blood Drive date on their calendars. Heather Gigandet has three daughters at Troy High School and came to donate with her 19-year-old daughter Emily Waldron, who made her first lifetime donation.

“She wanted me to come!” said Emily.

Heather said the real push to support the Challenge came from her daughter Jesica at THS. “She insisted I come down and donate,” said Heather. “I also think it’s because my daughter was premature and weighed only one pound and four ounces at birth. She needed blood — not a whole lot, she was so small! — but she needed it.”

David Slife came to the blood drive to make his first lifetime blood donation.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on proof of Tehran’s seriousness will come in Geneva: President Barack Obama’s phone conversation Friday with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani was a historic ice-breaker after decades of no high-level contact with the leadership of that critical Middle East country.

Some believed that the two presidents should have deliberately run into each other during the busy first week of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. At the same time, the inevitable grip-and-grin photo of the two wouldn’t have done either president any good at home in the overheated political atmospheres of Tehran and Washington.

No one should presume too much at this stage, but it now appears that the road is set for a constructive, negotiated approach to the primary issue dividing the United States and Iran, that country’s nuclear program. Talks between Iran and U.N. Security Council permanent members China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States, plus Germany, are now scheduled for Oct. 15-16 in Geneva. Those talks are not specifically about U.S.-Iranian relations, but a deal involving Western economic sanctions and Iran’s nuclear program will be at the core.

Rouhani, the whole week in New York, including during interviews with American journalists, gave signals that Iran is now ready to work toward a deal. So far he has not been disowned by Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The Geneva meeting will provide Iran with every opportunity to show whether Rouhani was serious about repairing relations. A failure by Iran to put concrete proposals on the table would be an equally clear signal that Rouhani’s performance in New York, including his phone conversation with Mr. Obama, was an effort to substitute theater for real willingness to negotiate.

America and the world have every reason to hope that Rouhani’s posture reflected Iranian reality, not subterfuge. The Geneva conference will tell the tale.

Las Vegas Review-Journal on global warming alarmists push false premise: If you think coming upticks in fuel taxes and water rates are alarming, then you won’t want the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to have its way with your power bill.

The panel, overseen by the United Nations, on Friday released a report that says “it is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid20th century.” This is the IPCC’s fifth assessment report, and with the previous four, anyone who dares challenge its conclusions is castigated as a “denier.”

But pesky climate change skeptics persist. Last month, reports, the United States and several European governments tried to persuade the panel’s climate scientists to downplay or even delete evidence of the lack of global warming over the past 15 years, despite rapidly rising global greenhouse gas levels over that same period.

Why would those governments go to such measures? Because such information doesn’t fit the narrative the climate change lobby and their media allies have sold for more than two decades.

What the IPCC report — and the alarmism coming from the developed world — is really all about is killing off fossil fuel use despite its affordability and reliability. And as alarmist in chief Al Gore has proved, it’s also about the ever-encroaching thought police.

Last week, the former vice president said, “There needs to be a political price for climate (change) denial.” News flash: The First Amendment protects the free speech rights of Americans, especially political speech. Mr. Gore’s rhetoric shows climate change is less about science and more about politics; he’s saying global warming is a political cause.

And it already has brought great change to the United States.

Carbon dioxide emissions — considered the key cause of global warming — are declining domestically.

Support funding for dialysis To the Editor: As a dialysis facility administrator at Upper Valley Kidney Center, I am very concerned about a recently proposed rule released by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid that would reduce reimbursements for dialysis treatments by 12 percent.

Recently, our facility had the honor of hosting a staffer from Congressman John Boehner’s office, who had the opportunity to see what quality kidney care looks like and meet some of the patients we care for every day. Many of these patients

rely on Medicare to help pay for the tedious, hourslong dialysis sessions they require; as a result, proposed cuts to Medicare’s end-state renal disease benefit could be devastating for both patients and facilities.

The effects of these proposed cuts to dialysis care may force reductions in staffing levels, reduced access to additional services such as social workers, nurses or dietitians and, potentially, dramatically reduced access to dialysis care in Miami county altogether.

Clinics may be forced to

close or consolidate, requiring patients to travel greater distances for their life-sustaining care.

Lawmakers need to understand that without ready access to dialysis care, patients with kidney failure will not survive. We hope readers feel compelled to contact Rep. Boehner, as well as Sens. Brown and Portman, to ask them to protect Medicare funding for dialysis.

Five things I wish someone would’ve told me about adulthood When you’re in high school, you’re basically invincible.

You’re impervious to reality, you think you can put everything off because tomorrow is the time for being responsible and your future is always at least a day away.

Until one day, you wake up and suddenly your future isn’t the future anymore. It’s the present. It’s here, right now, and it’s calling all the shots in your life in the form of bills, insurance, mortgages and 30-year loans.

Now, I can’t say they didn’t warn me. I remember all the lectures in high school classes like economics and “reality 101” about how I’d be faced with all these pressures one day, you just don’t realize how quickly one day creeps up on you.

So now, now that I’m 28 and faced with all sorts of life decisions, it led me to wonder what exactly I wished I knew about this whole adulthood thing before being tossed into the throes of it.

For starters, I wish someone would have told me that while I’m busy chasing down my dreams of “doing something I

love” for the rest of my life, that thing you’ll ever do with your sometimes being happy doesn’t life, it’s also the most difficult, equate to paying the bills. Don’t most stressful and sometimes misunderstand me, here. I’m in feels downright impossible. no way, shape or form, encourOh, and remember how you aging individuals to cast their were 16 and absolutely knew dreams aside and take a mean- it all and your parents “like, ingless job just because it pays totally didn’t get you.” Guess great.

And there is absolutely with those people who nothing wrong or failing totally didn’t get you.

Not everything in adulthood is scary and overwhelming, however. OK, I take back the last part, almost everything about becoming and adult is overwhelming. But the nice thing about adulthood is the realizations you come to. You start to realize what is ultimately important; things like having the right friends instead of the most; that although the people you love in your life can disappoint you, they can also amaze and inspire you; and that you’re never, ever too old to meet someone who could change your life.

That’s the thing about adulthood. You’ve already gotten past all the crap, so you’re finally able to focus on all the things that really matter.

Jeers and investigations beleaguer Cleveland police CLEVELAND (AP) — It hasn’t been a good year for the Cleveland Police Department.

A county prosecutor is investigating a deadly chase in November that involved more than 60 squad cars and ended with 137 shots fired by 13 officers at two unarmed black people. The U.S. Department of Justice is reviewing years of excessive force claims.

And a growing list of complaints about the handling of missing person cases and rape investigations culminated with the escape of three women who had been held captive and raped for more than a decade.

They were freed not because police cracked the case, but because one victim kicked out a door and yelled to neighbors for help.

The turmoil has hurt police morale, invigorated a mayoral campaign and led to frank discussions about the divide between the majority black residents of one of the nation’s poorest cities and a police department critics say is too quick to use force in some cases and lackadaisical in other respects.

The cases have harmed the police department’s standing in the eyes of residents, mayoral spokeswoman Maureen Harper said in a recent video presentation in Columbus on handling public information issues.

“Overall, quite frankly,” she said, “our image was not good.”

Discontent with the police department has led to protests against the administration — including one featuring several dozen people chanting inside city hall and another outside the courts building — and angry letters to the editor. One compared the wild chase to a Bonnie and Clyde getaway.

The chase, with more than a third of on-duty officers participating, began when one officer thought he heard a gunshot from a car speeding by police headquarters. It ended in a blocked-off parking lot, with driver Timothy Russell shot 23 times and passen-

could extend beyond that.

“Ohio WIC is open for business!” proclaimed the headline on a state web site Thursday.

Officials in some other states have said their resources could run out sooner for the federal program that provides nutritious foods like milk and vegetables to qualifying pregnant women and mothers of children up to age 5. WIC also offers education and support services on prenatal care, 40499752

tenced this year to more than 1,000 years in prison for kidnapping three women and holding them in his dilapidated Cleveland house for a decade; he committed suicide in his cell last month.

Both cases raised questions about how vigorously police investigated missing person cases, especially Sowell’s inner-city black victims, some of whom were living on the street and had drug problems.

In recent months, the Justice Department has investigated excessive force claims in Albuquerque, N.M., Miami, and Los Angeles County. In Cleveland, the government said the investigation would expand beyond the fatal chase to include policies and training.

Chief McGrath told The Associated Press during the Columbus appearance that it’s tough for him to say where the public’s perception of his department stands now, but he said, “We’re moving in the right direction.”

Police have reached out in neighborhood meetings, including “coffee with a cop” sessions that include City Council members — often the first to hear citizen complaints against police.

Still, the troubles have been a distraction for Jackson, a black Democrat seeking a third term in November against businessman Ken Lanci, who has campaigned on a promise to dismiss the chief if elected.

Jackson, whose staff rejected recent interview requests, told television interviewers as the disciplinary hearings began in late spring that he supported McGrath.

“This white police chief is the only person that has given any semblance to justice and fairness in this whole process,” Jackson said.

Donna Walker-Brown, 44, an activist involved with an inner-city anti-crime group, faulted Jackson’s leadership.

“Even though the mayor is black,” she said, “right now he is not when it comes to the black community.”

Ohio says WIC program secure into November

CINCINNATI (AP) — Ohio health officials are reassuring participants in a special nutrition program that there is funding to keep it going into November, despite the partial federal government shutdown.

ger Malissa Williams shot 24 times.

Both victims were black, and no weapon was found. In a wellintegrated police force, the makeup of the officers who fired raised the issue of race — 12 are white and one is Hispanic.

Any wrongdoing during the chase resulted from the failure of officers to comply with departmental rules, Mayor Frank Jackson and Police Chief Michael McGrath said, while the state attorney general criticized a “systemic failure” of communication and command.

Disciplinary hearings were held for more than 100 officers accused of joining the chase without permission, failure to manage officers or other departmental violations. A sergeant who was fired is appealing the dismissal.

The situation is creating a lasting effect on rank-and-file morale, said Lt. Brian Betley, head of a police supervisor union challenging disciplinary actions including a dismissal.

“I’d be a liar if I said that it didn’t affect it in some way,” he said. “I’m sure it’s on everyone’s minds.”

Jeff Follmer, president of the police union, said the officers acted properly because the fleeing driver had tried to ram them.

But James Roberts, 61, who works as a debt collector in the city, doesn’t buy it.

“It was totally uncalled for. It was excessive,” Roberts said, noting that police also have a poor reputation for shoddy investigations of missing person cases over the years. He suggested police hold town hall meetings to hear residents’ concerns and rebuild relationships.

Police have faced questions over their response to missing person cases before. In 2009, Anthony Sowell was charged with killing 11 black women on Cleveland’s east side and hiding their bodies around his house and yard. He was found guilty and sentenced to death.

Kidnapper Ariel Castro was sen-

breastfeeding and other health issues.

The reports have led to queries from Ohio participants about the availability in the state.

“That has caused some concern,” said Robert Jennings, a health department spokesman. “Right now, we’re not impacted.”

He said the state should be able to extend the program through the end of November if necessary, using rebates from makers of baby formula and other

items in the program.

There are more than 260,000 WIC participants in Ohio, one of the largest programs in the Midwest.

Participants get coupons to use at grocery stores for designated foods. The state says the average monthly food package cost per participant in the 2012 fiscal year was $36.02. On a monthly average, the program in Ohio served 63,192 women, 69,004 infants and 143,431 other children.

Miss. gov says Christianity shapes his world view FLOWOOD, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant told a group of students Thursday that Christianity shapes his world view and he’s not apologetic about opposing abortion or putting Nativity scenes on public property.

The Republican spoke at Hartfield Academy, a Christian school in the Jackson suburb Flowood. The school is starting a series of programs for political and business leaders to talk about their faith. Bryant, who is Methodist, was the first speaker, and about 300 students from Hartfield Academy and Christ Covenant School of Ridgeland gathered in the Hartfield gymnasium to hear him.

Wandering back and forth with a wireless microphone, Bryant told the middle school and high school students: “Sometimes, as a Christian, when you try your very best and take a particular position, some people can be very critical of that — maybe not because of a religious standpoint, but some secular beliefs they have. Like, I’m very pro-life. I just believe that that child has a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And I don’t believe you ought to go about destroying those lives.”

Bryant signed a 2012 law that threatens to close Mississippi’s only abortion clinic. It requires every OB-GYN who works there to have admitting privileges to a local hospital — but privileges can be difficult to obtain because hospitals often

won’t give them to out-of-state physicians.

The clinic filed a federal lawsuit challenging the requirement, and a judge put the law on hold to give the clinic time to try to comply. So far, the clinic has been unable to get privileges for its out-of-state doctors.

Bryant said he knows people might post bad things about him on social media.

“But, you know, if I didn’t stand for that, then what would I have to do?” he said. “And as a Christian, I say, ‘Lord, Lord, I think I understand what you would like me to do as governor when it comes to the sanctity of life.’ In fact, I think it’s best I can, to interject myself and to try and stop that horrible procedure whenever I can.”

Bryant became governor in January 2012. He said Thursday that he put a Nativity scene on the lawn of the Governor’s Mansion last year because it reflects his faith. A Nativity scene also has been inside the state Capitol in recent years.

“I remember a young lady came into the Capitol, there were reporters gathered around me and she said, ‘Why is this Nativity scene so important?’” Bryant said. “I said, ‘You know, Christmas is not about having sales and it’s not only about putting up trees and seeing who can put the most lights on your house. We wouldn’t have this season if it wasn’t for that baby, if it wasn’t for that child.’

Egyptian riot police fire tear gas at protesters

An armed police officer stands guard in front of the Salvation Army Church after it was set on fire by rioting youths, following Friday Muslim prayers in Mombasa, Kenya, Friday.

A religious leader on Kenya’s coast says that the Muslim cleric Sheikh Ibrahim Ismael who preached at Mombasa’s Masjid Musa Mosque, whose previous imam Aboud Rogo Mohammed was mysteriously shot dead in August 2012, has died in a barrage of bullets late Thursday near the coastal city of Mombasa.

Riots in Kenya after cleric, three others, killed NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Gunmen killed a Muslim cleric and three others in a hail of bullets in the Kenyan port city of Mombasa, a year after the imam’s predecessor was killed in the same manner and on the same road and nearly the same spot.

The killings triggered street violence by youths on Friday who blamed police for the homicides, and four more people were killed in the mayhem.

The cleric’s supporters alleged that the shooting death late Thursday of Sheik Ibrahim Ismael was a reprisal by Kenyan security forces for the Sept. 21 attack on Nairobi’s Westgate Mall that killed more than 60

people. A Somali Islamic extremist group, al-Shabab, claimed responsibility for the mall attack.

Ismael’s predecessor at the Masjid Musa Mosque, who was gunned down in August 2012, had been accused of aiding alShabab, including recruiting youths for the Somali group.

“While it’s possible the timing is linked, the pattern of targeted killings and disappearances in Mombasa long predates Westgate. What’s clear is that a serious independent investigation of yesterday’s killing and earlier attacks on Aboud Rogo and others is urgently needed to answer the many questions about these attacks,” Leslie Lefkow, an Africa researcher at

Human Rights Watch said.

The dark four-door car that Ismael was riding in was riddled by bullets. People gathered around the car, taking photographs and staring at the bodies as weeping relatives of the dead approached.

Police spokeswoman Gatiria Mboroki denied that police had any involvement in the killings.

“We are investigating who did this and what the motive is because we don’t know,” she said.

Human rights groups estimate that Kenyan police were responsible for approximately 1,000 extrajudicial killings between 2008 and 2012, according to the U.S. State Department.

“Members of the security forces were suspected of being responsible for a number of forced disappearances. At least half dozen prominent Muslim leaders alleged to have terrorist ties were victims of killings or forced disappearances,” the State Department said, in its annual report on human rights.

Young men on Friday partly burned the Salvation Army Church and put burning tires on the road. Police carrying assault rifles came to the scene as smoke poured from the compound. Police fired into the air and lobbed tear gas. Kenya’s Red Cross said four people were killed in the rioting, including at least one with gunshot wounds.

CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian riot police fired volleys of tear gas and locked down Cairo’s Tahrir Square Friday as clashes briefly broke out in a rare push by Islamist supporters of the ousted president to take control of the iconic square, leaving at least one person reported dead.

With lines of armored vehicles and barbed wire, troops sealed off the square and diverted traffic after the Muslim Brotherhood, the group from which ousted president Mohammed Morsi hails, called on its supporters to march there.

Thousands of Morsi’s supporters followed suit from different parts in the city, chanting “El-Sissi is the enemy of God” and “Down with the murderer!”

Those were references to Defense Minister AbdelFatah el-Sissi, who forced Morsi from power on July 3 after millions took to the streets demanding the Islamist leader step down.

In its statements, the Muslim Brotherhood called Tahrir Square “the capital of the revolution.”

It is the birthplace of the 2011 uprising that forced longtime president Hosni Mubarak from power and led to Morsi’s short-lived tenure.

Since Morsi’s ouster, nearly 2,000 Muslim Brotherhood members have been arrested, its top leaders referred to courts over charges of inciting murder and violence, and hundreds of Morsi supporters have been killed.

Morsi himself has been detained incommunicado.

The Brotherhood appears to be angling to endure a crackdown that — while painful — also helps keep group cohesion under the pressure of a shared plight. It has publicly stuck to its most hard-line demands — the reinstatement of Morsi as president and the restoration of the Morsi-era constitution.

Some Brotherhood members recognize the possibility for that has passed.

But the group uses the demands to energize its members and keep up street pressure as leverage in any eventual negotiations, which could bring concessions like easing the crackdown or releasing jailed members.

In an attempt to turn Oct. 6, a national holiday seen by Egyptians as a military victory in the 1973 war with Israel, into a milestone, the group called upon its supporters to converge into Tahrir Square in a show of force.

Meanwhile, state media and anti-Islamist private networks aired national songs around the clock along with documentaries of the war glorifying the military.

Protesters encircled security forces and army troops guarding Tahrir Square from two main entrances, one near Egyptian museum and a second from the square’s southern edge. That prompted riot police to fire volleys of tear gas to send the demonstrators away.

All the way to Tahrir Square, the protesters’ chants against the military sparked clashes with civilians believed to be supporters of the military.

Shots were fired and rocks were thrown.

An Associated Press reporter saw protesters pushed away and chased by other Egyptians armed with sticks and bottles.

The two sides started hurling stones just steps from the Egyptian museum.

“We will go protest and take all streets possible,” said Mohammed Said, 45, during a march from the Dokki neighborhood to Tahrir. “We will get in Tahrir at any price.”

Official: Woman killed in DC chase was delusional

STAMFORD, Conn.

(AP) — The Connecticut woman who was shot to death outside the U.S. Capitol after trying to ram her car through a White House barrier had been deteriorating mentally for months and believed the president was communicating with her, a federal law enforcement official said Friday.

Miriam Carey’s killing at the hands of police Thursday was Washington’s second major spasm of deadly violence involving an apparently unstable person in 2½ weeks.

Interviews with some of those who knew the 34-year-old woman suggested she was coming apart well before she loaded her 1-year-old daughter into the car for the drive to Washington.

Carey had suffered a head injury in a fall and had been fired as a dental hygienist, according to her former employer. And her mother said she was suffering from postpartum depression.

The federal official, who had been briefed about the investigation but was not authorized to discuss it publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, said investigators have been interviewing Carey’s family about her mental state and reviewing writings found in her Stamford condominium.

A Capitol Hill police officer stands post at the U.S. Capitol building on Friday.

“We are seeing serious degradation in her mental health, certainly within the last 10 months, since December, ups and downs,” the official said.

“Our working theory is her mental health was a significant driver in her unexpected presence in D.C. yesterday.”

The woman had made delusional “expressions about the president in the past” and believed

President Barack Obama was communicating to her, the official said.

“Those communications were, of course, in her head,” the official said, adding that concerns about her mental health were reported in the last year to Stamford police.

The official said investigators believe that she drove straight to the nation’s capital and that the violence unfolded

immediately upon her arrival.

After ramming the barricades at the White House, the apparently unarmed Carey led police on a chase down Constitution Avenue to the Capitol, where she was shot in a harrowing chain of events that led to a brief lockdown of Congress. Carey’s daughter escaped serious injury and was taken into protective custody.

Carey’s neighbors in Stamford were shocked to learn the driver’s identity and see her gleaming black Infiniti wrecked outside the Capitol in TV footage.

Erin Jackson, her nextdoor neighbor on the building’s ground floor, said Carey doted on her daughter, Erica, often taking the girl on picnics.

“She was pleasant. She was very happy with her

daughter, very proud of her daughter,” she said.

“I just never would have anticipated this in a million years.”

But Carey’s mother, Idella Carey, told ABC that her daughter began suffering from postpartum depression after giving birth in August 2012.

“She was depressed. … She was hospitalized,” said Idella Carey, who said her daughter had no history of violence.

Dr. Brian Evans, a periodontist in Hamden, Conn., said Carey was fired from her job at his office about a year ago. He would not say why. He said Carey had been away from the job for a period after falling down a staircase and suffering a head injury, and it was a few weeks after she returned to work that she was fired.

“We’re shocked to know this happened and we feel saddened for her family and all those involved,” he said.

On Sept. 16, a mentally disturbed man killed 12 people in a shooting rampage at the Washington Navy Yard before dying in a gun battle with police.

Aaron Alexis, a defenseindustry employee and former Navy Reservist, had complained of hearing voices and said in writings left behind that he was driven to kill by months of bombardment with electromagnetic waves.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Freshman Rep. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma is one of the hard-line House conservatives demanding concessions from President Barack Obama on his health care law in exchange for ending the federal government shutdown.

“We have got to get to the point where we’re working like a functional government, not like a dictatorship,” said Mullin, a 36-year-old rancher and plumbing business owner who insists that the president and Senate Democrats must negotiate on an emergency spending bill to re-open the government.

In Mullin’s expansive district, which stretches along eastern Oklahoma from Kansas to Texas, many constituents stand firmly behind the young Republican congressman even as they begin to feel the impact of the first government shutdown in 17 years. They’re unbending in their opposition to the 3-year-old health care law and endorse any effort to unravel it.

“Wait it out,” Micah Thompson, a 32-yearold seminarian student and Army reservist from Canadian, Okla., advised Mullin. “It’s chicken.

Someone’s got to blink first.”

For Thompson, the shutdown isn’t just a political fight in Washington.

His brother, an employee at the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant, has been furloughed. This weekend, Thompson himself faces cancellation of his Army drills and the loss of pay.

Thompson knows what he doesn’t like about the health care law. “I think it’s wrong to make someone buy something they don’t want or don’t need,” he said, referring to the requirement that millions of Americans get coverage or face a penalty.

So Mullin stands firm, and he is not alone.

Rebellious Republicans prevailed in pressuring Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, to link undoing the health care law to

the temporary spending bill and have refused to relent, now four days into a government shutdown with no end in sight.

Few arguments have swayed these GOP newcomers, 71 from the tea party class of 2010 and 37 who arrived in Washington earlier this year. Many are too young to remember the last shutdown in 1995 and the political woes it created for the GOP. The party’s last two presidential nominees — John McCain and Mitt Romney — have challenged the wisdom of the strategy but have been ignored. Republican senators have called the tactic dumb and a ploy but have failed to change minds. Nearly two dozen House Republicans have dissented, urging a vote on a straightforward bill to open the government, with little success.

Mullin’s fellow Oklahoman, six-term Republican Rep. Tom Cole, has also counseled against the stalemate, warning repeatedly that a shutdown and government default on paying its bills “are about the only two things that could jeopardize the House majority” next year. Cole is close to Boehner and serves as a deputy whip.

Says freshman Rep. Richard Hudson of North Carolina: “I’m more concerned about the impact of this law on the American people than I am about my re-election.”

In fact, Hudson and Mullin likely have little to worry about in the next election as neither has a viable Democratic challenger in Republicantrending Southern states.

In 2012, Hudson defeated conservative Democratic Rep. Larry Kissell, who managed to survive the tea party onslaught in 2010 but then lost in a district the legislature made more Republican by adding more GOP voters. Mullin won an open seat after conservative Dan Boren, one of the last remaining Southern Democrats and a constant top GOP target, decided not to run again.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Parents can be effective in dealing with children today, especially teaching them. Romantic partners also can get to the bottom of problems if they're willing to try.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Look for ways to improve where you live, especially by tidying up garbage, recycling, plumbing, laundry areas and bathrooms. Get rid of what you don't need.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Bosses and people in authority will be impressed with your suggestions for cost-cutting, reforms and tearing things back to the basics so they can be rebuilt. You're quick to see how things work.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might persuade others to agree with your ideas about politics, religion or racial issues today. Whatever you expound will fall on receptive ears. People will listen to you.

YOU BORN TODAY You choose to live life to the fullest. You enjoy socializing with others, and you enjoy your good friends, who always find you entertaining and vivacious.

However, privately, you are an idealist who champions meaningful causes. These things matter to you.

In addition, you are often highly adventurous! Work hard to build or construct something this year, because you'll be glad you did.

AP photos In this May 11, 2011, file photo, Jeffrey Cole, as Romeo, and Liz Blake White, as Juliet, kiss during the presentation of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” at Richmond’s Maymont Park, in Richmond, Va. This 100acre estate was given to the Richmond community by James and Sallie Dooley, who lived there in a 33-room mansion from 1893 to 1925.Entrance to the gardens, visitors center and wildlife exhibits is free.

Richmond, from mountains to coast RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — With terrain varying from the mountains to the coast, Virginia offers an array of fall colors for leaf-peepers. But before or after your drive along one of the state’s many scenic byways, consider a fix of Southern city living with a visit to the state capital, Richmond.

Located along Interstate 95, it’s an easy stoppingoff point. And whether you like the outdoors, art or history, there’s plenty to do here — and you don’t have to spend a dime.

CANAL WALK/ BROWN’S ISLAND/ BELLE ISLE Find out why Outside magazine readers voted Richmond the nation’s most livable river town in 2012 by taking in the scenic James River.

Canal Walk runs more than a mile (1.6 kilometers) through downtown Richmond along the river and the banks of the city’s canals, with monuments and exhibits along the way highlighting Richmond history.

With various access points around the city, Canal Walk eventually leads to Brown’s Island, a popular venue for concerts and festivals located between the canals and the river. It has a series of walking trails and bridges, including one that takes you to the middle of the river. Just steps away, a pedestrian bridge suspended under the Lee Bridge takes visitors over the river to Belle Isle, where you’ll find locals exploring the 54-acre (29-hectare) island and resting on its rocky shores.

Belle Isle was first explored in 1607 by Capt.

John Smith, who helped establish England’s first North American settlement in Virginia. The island was once home to a granite quarry and hydroelectric plant. It was also used as prisoner-of-war camp during the Civil War. It features several bike trails, a rock climbing wall, and tons of off-the-beaten-path areas to explore.

Canal Walk is open 24 hours a day. Brown’s Island and the Belle Isle access bridge are open

This Oct. 1 photo shows runners and pedestrians along a bridge suspended under the Lee Bridge over the James river from Belle Isle, in Richmond, Va., where you’ll find locals exploring the 54-acre island and resting on its rocky shores. Belle Isle was first explored in 1607 by Capt. John Smith, who helped establish England’s first North American settlement in Virginia.

In this Aug. 9, 2007 file photo, a tour guide leads a tour in the Old Senate Chambers at the State Capitol in Richmond, Va. The Capitol reopened in 2007 after a $104.5 million restoration and expansion project that began in 2004. Statues of Virginia historic figures dot the grounds.

sunrise to sunset.

VIRGINIA STATE CAPITOL The State Capitol building, designed by Thomas Jefferson in the Monumental Classical style, has housed state government since 1788.

The wings of the building were added between 1904 and 1906. The Capitol reopened in 2007 after a $104.5 million restoration and expansion project that began in 2004. Statues of Virginia historic figures dot the grounds. Also onsite is the historic Bell Tower, which houses a state welcome center and, at the other corner of the grounds, the Virginia Executive Mansion, where the governor’s family lives.

The Capitol building is open Monday-Saturday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., and on Sundays 1 p.m.-5 p.m.

You can tour on your own or with a guide.

H O L LY WO O D CEMETERY The cemetery along the

James River is named for its plentiful holly trees.

But while the Hollywood Cemetery isn’t a graveyard for famous actors, it has its own who’s who from Virginia history.

The cemetery opened in 1849 and has grown to more than 135 acres (55 hectares) with more than 80,000 people buried there, including Presidents James Monroe and John Tyler (who was William Henry Harrison’s vice president and became president in 1841 after Harrison died), as well as Confederate President Jefferson Davis and numerous Virginia governors. The first battle casualty of the Civil War is buried there along with more than 18,000 Confederate soldiers interred beneath a 90-foot (28-meter) granite pyramid.

The cemetery is open daily with historic walking tours MondaySaturday at 10 a.m., April through October.

VIRGINIA MUSEUM

In this Tuesday May 1, 2007, file photo, the Colonial Williamsburg Fife and Drum Corp leads a procession during dedication ceremonies for the newly renovated Capitol at the Capitol in Richmond, Va. The state Capitol building, designed by Thomas Jefferson in the Monumental Classical style, has housed state government since 1788. The wings of the building were added between 1904 and 1906.

The Capitol reopened in 2007 after a $104.5 million restoration and expansion project that began in 2004. Statues of Virginia historic figures dot the grounds.

OF FINE ARTS The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts houses more than 33,000 works of art spanning 5,000 years of world history. Highlights include Faberge objects, Art Nouveau and Art Deco collections, Asian and African art, and paintings ranging from French Impressionist to modern and contemporary American. With a recent expansion, the museum encompasses 640,000 interior square feet (59,000 square meters), and has a sculpture garden, casual dining area and restaurant.

The museum is open S at u rd a y -We d n e s d a y, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., and Thursday-Friday, 10 a.m.-9 p.m. The Virginia Historical Society is next door and offers free parking and admission.

MAYMONT This 100-acre (40acre) estate was given to the Richmond community by James and Sallie Dooley, who lived there in a 33-room mansion from 1893 to 1925. The grounds feature elaborate Italian and Japanese gardens, an arboretum, butterfly trail and other smaller gardens that

feature cactus, herbs and daffodils. A wildlife exhibit includes animals native to Virginia, such as black bears, bison, whitetailed deer, bobcats, bald eagles and other birds of prey. A children’s farm features goats, pigs and other animals.

Entrance to the gardens, visitors center and wildlife exhibits is free.

The mansion, nature center and children’s farm have suggested donations of $5 or less.

The grounds are open daily, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., but some areas are closed Mondays.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Blizzards rolled into parts of Wyoming and South Dakota on Friday, bringing the snow-savvy states to an unseasonably early wintery standstill by closing highways and schools, and even forcing a tourist town to cancel its annual Octoberfest’s polka-dancing bar crawl.

A foot of snow had fallen in western South Dakota’s scenic Black Hills by early Friday, though residents were bracing for as much as 3 feet of the wet, heavy snow and wind gusts of up to 70 mph. The storm system spawned a tornado the night before in Nebraska and was threatening to push thunderstorms as far east as Wisconsin.

Julie Lee said she and fellow members of her White Rose Band are accustomed to snow, just “not for the fourth of October.” They had barely unloaded their instruments in South Dakota’s Old West casino town of Deadwood before snow started falling and closed the area’s only interstate.

“Our car is like an igloo,” said Lee, who sings and plays the clarinet and saxophone for her North Dakota-based polka band. “I’m glad we got everything out.”

Town officials decided to postpone its annual Octoberfest, including Friday night’s dancingand-singing pub crawl and Saturday’s Wiener Dog Races and Beer Barrel Games. But Lee and her accordion-playing husband, who had planned to set up in one of the casino bars, still planned to entertain stranded guests.

“You can only gamble for so long,” she said.

The typically bustling Pilot Travel Center near Rapid City, about 40 miles southwest, was like a ghost town Friday morning. Store general manager John Barton guessed that drivers were likely heeding forecasters’ warnings to stay off the roads.

The blowing snow was picking up outside the truck stop along Interstate 90, which was closed for about 30 miles thanks to a storm that was gaining strength as it moved in from Wyoming, where the interstate was also closed. Conditions were expected to deteriorate throughout the day.

“Yesterday we were really busy,” Barton said.

“I think a lot of people got ahead of it.”

Although early October snowfalls aren’t unusual, a storm of this magnitude happens only once every decade or two on the Plains, National Weather Service meteorologist Steve Trimarchi said.

“I couldn’t say when the last time we’ve had one like this. It’s been quite a while,” Trimarchi said.

In Wyoming, reports of 5 to 10 inches of snow were common with higher amounts in the mountains. Hundreds of miles highways, including parts of interstates 25 and 90, were closed. The snow also snapped tree limbs that knocked out power lines, causing thousands of people to lose power.

Forecasters urged people trying to travel to carry survival kits and to stay in their vehicles if they get stranded.

“These are just really dangerous conditions,” Steve Rubin, of the National Weather Service, said Friday.

Large hail and powerful winds were forecast to hit northwest Oklahoma later Friday, while heavy rain settled in parts of Iowa and was expected to swoop northeast across the region into Wisconsin, where warnings were issued for dense fog.

Good to be 6-0 Unbeaten Vikings rout Bees Josh Brown

Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com

BRANDT — It wasn’t pretty at times.

Most of the time, really.

But the end result is the most gorgeous thing Miami East has seen in more than 20 years.

The Vikings kept pace with Covington in the Cross County Conference standings, using big plays to break out of a first-half funk and roll to a 51-0 victory over Bethel to spoil the Bees’ homecoming night Friday.

The win made the Vikings 6-0 (5-0 CCC) for the first time since 1982.

“It feels pretty (darn) good,” Miami East coach Max Current said. “It’s been a long time. This is the culmination of all 46 guys working hard in the offseason, working hard in practice, and now we’re seeing some of the fruits of our labor.”

The Vikings had to shift some things around coming into the game, though, with both quarterbacks injured. Senior utility man

recovered a Panther fumble on the 18 on the first series and the Panthers missed 28-yard field goal on the next.

A.J. Ouellette put Covington on the scoreboard early in quarter two, bullying through the Tri-County North defense and breaking countless tackles for an 18-yard rushing touchdown.

The Panthers gave the ball back to the Buccs on the ensuing kick off, fumbling at the 37. On a third-and-14, quarterback Jared Williams hit the unsuspecting Panthers

BELLEFONTAINE — Undefeated Tippecanoe gave up one less point on Friday night than it had in its five previous games combined.

And it still was far, far, far from enough to take down the Red Devils.

Despite giving up 21 first-quarter points to the Devils, Bellefontaine (3-3, 0-1 Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division) stayed within striking distance at halftime at 28-13. But Tippecanoe (6-0, 1-0) knows how to put teams away, and it did just that in a sound 49-19 drubbing of the Chieftains Friday night to open division play.

Ben Hughes hits Sean Ford for a 48-yard touchdown pass, then Austin Robbins returned an interception 31 yards for a score to spot the Devils a 14-0 first-quarter lead. Cameron Johnson capped the quarter off with a 3-yard run, but Bellefontaine kicked off the second quarter with a pick-six of its own, returning an interception 59 yards for its first score. Zack Blair found Matt Davis open for a 15-yard touchdown, but Bellefontaine closed the half out with a touchdown of its own to keep the deficit at a seeiminglymanageable 15 points.

But Hughes scored on a 3-yard run and Jacob Hall an 8-yard run to widen the gap, and Hall added a 19-yard touchdown in the fourth to close things out.

Tippecanoe returns home to host Stebbins in Week 7.

Carlisle 27, Milton-Union 7 WEST MILTON — Carlisle’s Jason Sandlin scored three touchdowns on the ground — the shortest of which went for 21 yards — and Carlisle (4-2, 3-0 Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division) defeated MiltonUnion 27-7 Friday night at Memorial Stadium.

COVINGTON — Covington got through its first big Cross County Conference test with a passing grade Friday night.

On deck is possibly an even bigger challenge.

The Buccs (6-0, 5-0) hung on for a 22-14 victory over the Tri-County North Panthers (5-1, 4-1) in the battle of unbeatens at Smith Field, setting up a big showdown with Miami East next week in Casstown.

“We knew all week going in

that these guys were good,” Covington coach Dave Miller said. “I was really thrilled about just having competition. They are really competitive, and our kids really thrive under challenges, and we responded the right way. Hats off to them, they are going to be good for the next few years, they are very young.”

It was apparent once they hit the field, Tri-County North wasn’t going to back down.

The Panthers had the ball in the red zone on their first two series, but squandered away their opportunities.

No. 4 Ohio State aims to extend streak

EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) — No. 4 Ohio State visits No. 16 Northwestern on Saturday night in a game that features one team looking to extend the nation’s longest active win streak and another seeking that signature victory.

What better way to do it than with a prime-time audience watching?

“It’s why we come to Ohio State,” Ohio State defensive lineman Michael Bennett said. “Big games, night games are awesome. We play really well on the road.

I don’t how many places can say they have back-to-back night games which are huge games.”

The Buckeyes (5-0, 1-0 Big) have won 17 straight since dropping four in a row to close out the 2011 season and are eyeing a national championship after going undefeated in coach Urban Meyer’s first year. However, they were banned from a bowl game in 2012 because of NCAA sanctions stemming from the tattoo scandal.

Now they’re coming off a 31-24 win over Wisconsin, and they’re staring at another big hurdle, a team that wants to show it can beat the best in the Big Ten. A win over the Buckeyes would do just that for the Wildcats (4-0, 0-0).

They cleared one big hurdle last year when they went 10-3 and won a bowl game for the first time since the 1948 team captured the Rose Bowl, and beating Ohio State would be another big feather for Pat Fitzgerald’s program.

The last time Northwestern knocked off a Top-five team, Dwight Eishenhower was in the White House. The Wildcats opened the 1959 season with a win over No. 2 Oklahoma and took out No. 5 Iowa a week later, but they haven’t

beaten a team ranked that high since then.

“This is why you come to play Big Ten football and Division I football,” Northwestern defensive lineman Tyler Scott said.

“This is where we want our program to be at, to have this hype and this game.”

Here are five things to watch in the game: SAFETY VALVE: Buckeyes safety Christian Bryant broke his left ankle late in the Wisconsin game and is expected to miss the rest of the regular season.

With the defensive leader out, Ohio State was looking at Corey Brown, Tyvis Powell or Vonn Bell as replacements this week, and a short-handed secondary could open up the passing game for Northwestern.

“Someone’s going to have to step up,” Meyer said. “I’m anxious to watch and develop new leadership.”

BRAXTON’S BACK: Braxton Miller looked sharp in his return from a sprained left knee. He matched a career-high with four touchdown passes after missing the previous two games.

ON THE MARK: Running back Venric Mark is expected back for the Wildcats after missing three games with a lower-body injury, a huge boost for them in the running game and on special teams. He ran for 1,366 yards and 12 touchdowns and was a major contributor returning punts and kickoffs last season.

M I L E S T O N E A P P ROAC H I N G : Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter needs 72 yards rushing to hit the 2,000 mark for his career.

He already owns the school season (891) and career (1,928) rushing records for a QB. URBAN REVIEWAL:

Meyer has vivid memories of his most recent trip to Northwestern. It was late in 2001, when he was in his first season at Bowling Green, and his Falcons beat the Wildcats 43-42 in a matchup that wasn’t supposed to happen. Both teams had games cancelled in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, and what happened when they got together was nothing short of wild. Bowling Green scored 29 points in the fourth quarter, including two touchdowns about 90 seconds apart in the closing minutes, and racked up 618 yards in the game.

Northwestern finished with 624 yards.

“We had a six-hour bus ride and we refused to leave the locker room for about two and a half hours,” Meyer said. “Those kids wouldn’t leave and I wouldn’t leave with them. We were just crying and enjoying it.”

Hoyer’s season ended by knee injury CLEVELAND (AP) — Brian Hoyer’s story, seemingly pulled from a Disney movie script, took a cruel turn.

The Cleveland quarterback’s season is over.

A lifelong Browns fan living out his boyhood dream by starting for his hometown team, Hoyer tore a knee ligament while running for a first down Thursday night against Buffalo and will miss the remainder of this season.

It’s a devastating blow for Hoyer, who had waited five years — three as Tom Brady’s backup in New England — to become an NFL starter and led the Browns to wins over Minnesota and Cincinnati while replacing an injured Brandon Weeden.

“This is disappointing,” Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said Friday on a conference call. “It’s an unfortunate thing.”

Chudzinski said an MRI taken Friday showed Hoyer tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.

He will undergo surgery, ending his feel-good story after just three starts and with the Browns (3-2) rolling.

Chudzinski said there is no other damage in Hoyer’s knee, which got caught in the turf at FirstEnergy as he slid and was hit by Bills rookie linebacker Kiko Alonso.

The usual recovery time is nine months to one year, but for Hoyer the injury stole a chance to prove to

Cleveland’s front office he could be their franchise quarterback.

Chudzinski said he spoke with Hoyer after getting the medical results.

“It’s hard on him,” said Chudzinski.

“Obviously he’s disappointed, but if you know him and you know how positive he is and the type of person he is.

He’s already thinking about when he’s going to be back. I reassured him that as well. I wanted to let him know how much he meant to us and what he did.

But he’ll be back. He’ll make it back.

He’s that type of guy.

“He’s the kind of guy you don’t doubt.”

Chudzinski said there are no immediate plans to sign another quarterback and Weeden will return as Cleveland’s starter.

Signed by Cleveland as a free agent in May, Hoyer, released by New England, Pittsburgh and Arizona in the past year, began the season as Cleveland’s No. 3 quarterback. With Weeden out recovering from a sprained thumb, Hoyer made just his second NFL start in Week 3 and led the Browns to consecutive wins, directing clutch fourthquarter drives and throwing clinching touchdown passes in both games.

“He did a great job and he was a big reason why we won those games, but not the only reason,” Chudzinski said, professing the “next-man up” mantra all NFL coaches maintain because of

injuries.

With the Browns trailing 7-0, Hoyer, flushed from the pocket, took off up field. He had just passed the first-down marker and was sliding when he took a blow near the helmet from Alonso in front of Cleveland’s sideline. Several Browns coaches and players screamed for a penalty as Hoyer lay face down in the grass.

Chudzinski wouldn’t say if he thought Alonso should have been given a personal foul.

“If it was close,” he said, “I don’t think there was any intention there.”

With Hoyer out, Weeden, who returned from injury only to be demoted to a backup role, has his starting job back.

Weeden replaced Hoyer against the Bills, and following a slow start — some Browns fans booed his first few incompletions— he rallied Cleveland to its third straight win. Weeden threw a 37-yard TD pass to wide receiver Josh Gordon in the third quarter and finished 13 of 24 for 197 yards.

“The guys rallied around him,” Chudzinski said. “It was a gutsy performance, and it wasn’t always pretty.

I think he was still a little bit rusty, but he got the job done and he was able to help us win that game. There were some ups and downs, but he was resilient and was able to make some big plays.”

Pirates even up series at 1-1 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Gerrit Cole and the Pittsburgh Pirates played a game of role reversal, and pulled even with the St. Louis Cardinals.

The hard-throwing rookie gave up two hits in six dominant innings and also had an RBI in his postseason debut, Pedro Alvarez homered for the second straight day and the Pirates beat the Cardinals 7-1 Friday to even their NL division series at one game apiece.

“Just what we’ve been seeing all year,” Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. “You saw a focused man that was ready to go.”

A day after St. Louis got a strong effort from its starter

and took advantage of mistakes to romp 9-1 in the opener, the Pirates showed poise for their first playoff win since 1992 while the Cardinals looked tentative in the field.

Braves 4, Dodgers 3 ATLANTA — Mike Minor slammed his fist into his glove after getting out of a jam with a strikeout.

Luis Avilan pumped his arm wildly after escaping another mess with a huge double play. Andrelton Simmons hollered after a neat tag in the ninth.

The Braves were fired up for this one, with good reason.

Atlanta got the win it had to have before heading to Los Angeles.

Minor pitched six strong innings, Jason Heyward had a two-run single and the Braves flashed some nifty plays in the field, holding off the Dodgers 4-3 on Friday night to even the NL division series at one game apiece.

In a postseason already marked by defensive miscues all over the place, including shaky plays by the Braves in Game 1, Atlanta’s defense came through by turning three double plays — none more crucial than the one Avilan started in the seventh to escape the inning

with a 2-1 lead intact.

Red Sox 12, Rays 2 BOSTON — One ball fell between two outfielders.

Another took a bad hop off the Green Monster standings. One batter reached safely on a dropped third strike and another when the pitcher was slow to cover first.

By the time it was over, the Boston Red Sox had scored five runs in the fourth inning, taking advantage of Tampa Bay’s bad luck and bad defense to overcome an early deficit and beat the Rays 12-2 on Friday in Game 1 of the AL division series.

CINCINNATI (AP) — One very bad week clinched Dusty Baker’s fate. The Reds decided they weren’t going to bring him back.

Not after they ended the season with six losses in a row, including the wild-card playoff game. Not after they failed to get past the opening round of the playoffs for the third time in a row. Not with all the booing at Great American Ball Park.

Instead of keeping Baker around for one more try, the Reds fired him on Friday, parting ways with the manager who led them to their best stretch of success since the Big Red Machine but couldn’t get them deep into the postseason.

“Maybe the time is long enough because I was starting to get quite a few jeers and some hate mail and stuff,” Baker said during a conference call. “So maybe it was time for me to move on.”

The move came after the Reds lost the wild-card playoff in Pittsburgh 6-2 on Tuesday night, their sixth straight loss.

The final-week fade was a major factor in the decision, general manager Walt Jocketty said in a phone interview.

“Just the way we played lately was a factor,” Jocketty said. “But I think the way the season ended was kind of the final decision.

“The last six games certainly played a big part in this,” he added.

The Reds are the fourth team with an opening at manager. Davey Johnson retired after the Nationals’ season, Eric Wedge left the Mariners and the Cubs fired Dale Sveum after finishing last in the NL Central.

Baker took over a rebuilding team in 2008 and led it to three 90-win seasons and three playoff appearances in the last four years, their best run since Sparky Anderson managed the Big Red Machine to two World Series titles in the 1970s.

The lack of playoff success built pressure for change.

“Although he’s the one that ran the club every day, there are a lot of areas we can look at that could be to blame here, including the front office, the players, the coaching staff,” Jocketty said. “It’s not only just Dusty.

“We felt it was important going forward to provide new leadership, a new voice, whatever you want to call it,” he said.

Though stunned by the late fade — Baker said he felt “very helpless” as the offense went into a slump and the rotation fell apart — he expected to return for the final year on his contract.

“Maybe it’s something I said, maybe something I didn’t say along the way,” Baker said. “I know I had a conversation with Walt that they were going to look to replace (hitting coach) Brook Jacoby, and I was like, ‘Oh, no, Brook’s not doing anything as one of my coaches that deserved that.’ It wasn’t an ultimatum, but I just said, ‘Hey, man, if we get rid of Brook, you might as well get rid of me, too.’

“The next thing I was called up to the office,” Baker continued. “I thought I was going to discuss Brook’s future and the rest of the coaches’ future, and I was told my services were no longer needed.”

He thinks they might be somewhere else.

The 64-year-old Baker is in good health and hopes to manage again.

“I’ve got a lot to offer somebody,” he said. “I know it, and I think they know it, too.”

He didn’t get to celebrate the Reds’ last two playoff-clinching wins. Last year, he was in a hospital in Chicago recovering from an irregular heartbeat and a ministroke when the Reds wrapped up the NL Central title in Cincinnati.

They decided not to celebrate when they clinched a wild card this year with a 90-72 record, hoping for that deep run in the playoffs. Instead, they went on that final fade.

Baker went 509-463 in his six seasons with Cincinnati, finishing third on the Reds’ list for wins by a manager behind Anderson (863) and Bill McKechnie (744).

His 1,671 wins rank 16th on the career list. He won three NL Manager of the Year awards.

The former Braves and Dodgers star outfielder is one of only six managers to win at least 300 games with three different teams. He took the Giants, Cubs and Reds to the playoffs seven times without winning a World Series.

Vikings From Page 14 Michael Fellers stepped into the role.

“He’s a great athlete,” Current said. “We put him in there, he did a nice job in practice and his teammates rallied around him. He’s able to do some things and give us some different looks.

“Considering the type of week we had, we had some adversity and some things to do to get ready for this game. I knew we’d have some rough patches, but the kids fought through and I’m proud of them for that.”

One thing that looked outstanding all night, though, was the Viking defense.

Miami East allowed only two first downs in the game, one in each half, and gave up 22 yards of total offense in the entire game.

“The defense played a whale of a game,” Current said. “We only gave up one first down, and that was by a penalty, until the JVs were in on the last series. The defense played really well.”

Things looked good early after Michael Fellers intercepted a pass on Bethel’s first

drive, giving the Vikings the ball on the Bee 33.

Three plays later, Miami East had first-and-goal from the 4 – but Bethel’s defense toughened up, forcing the Vikings to go for it on fourth-and-1.

But Robbie Adams was able to punch it in from a yard out, giving Miami East a 7-0 lead less than four minutes in.

After the teams traded three-and-outs, Colton McKinney weaved his way off tackle, up the right sideline and gone

for a 76-yard touchdown run, and Miami East held a 14-0 lead just before the end of the quarter.

On the first play of the second quarter, the Vikings caught another break as Bethel snapped the ball over its punter’s head. He alertly picked up the ball in the end zone and threw away a pass – but the officials called intentional grounding, a safety when it occurs in the end zone.

The Vikings fumbled away the ensuing pos-

session, but Bethel still couldn’t gain any ground against the Miami East defense and was forced to punt, giving the Vikings the ball on their own 19. East then embarked on the longest drive of the first half, converting three times on third down on a 13-play, 81-yard drive – yet still scoring on a 39-yard run

by Alex Brewer to cap it off as he slipped through the middle of the line and broke free to make it 23-0.

After taking over on the Bethel 15 after a

sack/fumble, McKinney scored from a yard out to make it 30-0 at the half.

“We feel like we’ve got a lot of good running backs,” Current said.

“We’ve got some depth there, and they’re all really versatile. With Michael at quarterback, we didn’t feel like we were losing anything. They all compliment each other real well, and some young guys got in in the third and fourth quarters and did some good things, too.”

Fellers went in at running back for one pos-

session in the third quarter and had 21 yards on three carries — including a 4-yard touchdown.

Levi Adducchio added a 6-yard score in the fourth, and Arron Adams scored on a 2-yard run to make it 51-0.

McKinney finished with 125 yards on 10 carries, Brewer had 87 yards on 11 carries and Adducchio had 59 yards on eight carries.

Bethel (2-4, 2-3) travels to Twin Valley South in Week 7, Miami East now must get ready for the also-6-0 Covington Buccaneers, who handed Tri-County North its first loss of the season.

One way or another, though, things look pretty right now.

Trojans From Page 14 five different guys playing cornerback and six different guys playing safety — including guys who hadn’t practiced at safety all week.”

Which may have explained, in part at least, the incredible night had

by Sidney wide receiver Darryl McNeal.

In the first half alone, the speedy sophomore had eight catches for 175 and all four of the Yellowjackets’ touchdowns as Sidney built a 28-14 halftime lead.

McNeal — who finished the game with 11 catches for 201 yards — had touchdown grabs of 13, 1, 84 and 10 yards.

“He’s good,” Brewer said. “He was like a basketball player — we got crossed over and let him into the lane.”

A fitting analogy, considering much of the night felt more like a basketball game than a football game.

Sidney jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead after two touchdown catches by McNeal before a defensive play by the Trojans changed the momentum, if only momentarily.

Immediately after Sidney had picked off a pass in its own end zone to thwart a Trojan drive, Troy defensive back Austin Kyzer immediately

returned the favor, picking off a deflected pass from Sidney quarterback Jordan Fox and returning it 37 yards to the Sidney 1. On the very next play, Trojan quarterback Matt Barr pushed the ball across the goal line, cutting Sidney’s lead to 14-7.

Just two plays later, however, Fox — who finished the game completing 16-of-27 passes for 250 yards and four touchdowns to go along with 14 carries for 94 yards — hooked up with McNeal on an 84-yard touchdown strike to put the Yellowjackets back up 21-7.

Just six plays after that quick strike, however, Troy tailback Miles Hibbler scored on a 6-yard run to cut the lead to 21-14.

Aside from that, however, it was a relatively slow night for Hibbler, who finished with 22 carries for 86 yards and two touchdowns. Sidney stacked the box to stop Hibbler — who came into the game with more than 800 rushing yards in just five games — and the gamble worked as the Yellowjackets became the only team all season to hold Hibbler to less than 100 rushing yards and the only team to not allow him a touchdown run of

50 or more yards all season.

“They did a good job taking away our running game,” Brewer said.

“Hats off to them. They played a heck of a game.

They are a physical team.

We knew it would be tough coming up here and playing them. They are a good team.”

With Sidney so focused on stopping Hibbler, however, it did open things up for Troy’s passing game. Barr completed 16-of-31 passes for 214 yards and a touchdown.

His primary target was Alex Magoteaux, who hauled in 10 passes for 118 yards, both career highs. Gregory Johnson added two catches for 61 yards and T.J. Michael hauled in a touchdown pass late in the game.

“Magoteaux had a great game,” Brewer said.

“He made some incredible plays.”

Up 28-14, Sidney needed less than a minute to score to open the second half, with Eric Barnes going in from 2 yards out to push the Yellowjacket

lead to 35-14. Barnes finished the night with 21 carries for 146 yards and two touchdowns.

Again, however, Troy would answer quickly, as a 44-yard pass from Barr to Magoteaux set up Hibbler’s second touchdown run of the night to cut the lead to 35-20. Just five plays later, however, Barnes broke loose on a 40-yard touchdown run to put the Yellowjackets back up by three scores.

Barr’s touchdown pass

to Michael late in the game was largely cosmetic as Sidney was able to run out the clock for the win.

“I’m still proud of our kids,” Brewer said. “They played hard. It’s not like we packed it in. We just couldn’t get the stops when we needed to and squandered some scoring opportunities of our own.”

committee with another long drive, before freshman Nate Blei carried it in the end zone from four yards out. The extra point made it 22-7 with just over eight minutes to go in the fourth.

The Panthers kept fighting, and Hutchins’ 35-yard completion to Logan Elmore put the Panthers in the red zone on their next drive.

Hutchins called his own number to pick up just enough yardage on a fourth-and-3, then a short completion on the following play made it first-andgoal from the 1.

But the Covington

‘D’ had one last stand, holding on four straight plays. Hutchins pass on fourth down sailed high.

Tri-County North added a score with 53 seconds left in the game, a 16-yard pass from Hutchins to Garrett Woodyard, which came following a Covington fumble.

The Panthers failed to recover the onside kick — and Covington remained unbeaten.

Ouellette led the Buccs on the ground with 28 carries for 144 yards.

Bobby Alexander added 13 carries for 81 yards.

Next week will be a battle of unbeatens once

again when Covington travels to take on the Vikings (6-0, 5-0) in Casstown.

“It’s going to be another tough one,” Miller said. “They’re solid. I’ve seen them personally, I watched them when they cancelled their game, saw them at Arcanum.

They’re good. They’re

just like these guys, so it will be another tough test.

“But our kids will respond to it. I know who they are, I know their character — and I know they’ll be up for it. We have to go to their place so we know it will be tough. It’s going to be a battle.”

Covington From Page 14 15-7 lead.

Covington stopped Tri-County North on its ensuing drive — holding steady on a fourth-andinches from midfield. The Buccs offense fumbled two plays later, leaving the Panthers with another chance to even up the score.

There would be no momentum shift, though.

Dalton Bordelon sacked Hutchins on the first two plays following the turnover, then Hutchins scrambled for no gain on third-and-35, leading to a punt.

The Covington rushing attack moved forward by
