National Fire Prevention Week ends today. But for Troy Fire Department, the battle of spreading the word on the home front will continue. The theme of this year’s Fire Prevention Week is “Prevent Kitchen Fires’ — and the Troy Fire Department is helping spread awareness locally with their involvement in the the Firefighter Phil Safety Program. “For city of Troy, they have been doing the program 17 years,” Creative Safety Public Relations Director Kelli Youngpeters said. “We do the program for kindergarten through third grade in the fire department’s jurisdiction. What we do is we go into schools and do live presentation filled with magic and ventriloquism. It’s fun and interactive way give them important information. They are having See FIRE | 2

Community soup kitchen starting to take shape Melanie Yingst

Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

TROY — It’s starting to take shape. The exterior framing work of the new Hobart Community Kitchen has been complete and the interior and exterior work will begin in the coming weeks. At Wednesday’s Troy Planning Commission meeting, Greg Taylor, a St. Patrick’s Soup Kitchen Board member, requested the decorative 36 inch tall brick veneer be omitted from the new Hobart Community Kitchen’s design. According to Frank Harlow, owner of Harlow

Builders, the change would neither add nor decrease the cost from the project. Taylor said at the meeting that as the building took shape, the board thought the exterior without the brick base would fit better in the neighborhood. Yet all the Troy Planning Commission board members agreed they still liked the way the brick veneer looked with the approved design in place. All voted to keep the brick veneer as part of the building’s facade. The Hobart Community Kitchen, located at 24 N. Mulberry St., is part of a five-year

strategic funding plan to fight hunger in the greater Troy community. The 3,500-square foot building will more than double the kitchen’s current capacity, increasing the number of people served to 120. The current site is not handicap accessible and facility limitations only allow the staff to serve 60 people at a time. The new facility will increase capacity, meal preparation efficiency, and be handicap accessible. According to the St. Patrick Soup Kitchen founder Dick Steineman, the work on the new community kitchen will be

Organizations profit from GOTR concert volunteer work Melanie Yingst

TROY — The banners and signs from the Mumford & Sons Gentlemen of the Road Stopover in Troy are now being enjoyed by fans all over the United States. The city of Troy auctioned off the GOTR banners and street signs on eBay.com, which ended approximately two weeks ago. The online auction included eight flags, seven banners and 10 sidearm banners. According to Sue Knight, city of Troy clerk of council, all but three GOTR pieces of memorabilia have been shipped or picked-up from Troy City Hall. Knight estimated the auction brought slightly less than $4,000 for the items, not including the three pieces which have not been paid for as of press time. “Each piece came with a certificate of authenticity and were done inhouse with the city of Troy seal,” Knight said. Knight said each certificate was signed by Mayor Michael Beamish and was accompanied by a city of Troy pin. See GOTR | 2

Kitchen From Page 1 complete right in the heart of winter and when major cuts to the food stamp program will be implemented. “We’re going to double our capacity and serve more people,” Steineman said. “The building will be done right around Jan. 1, right when some people’s food stamp benefits will be cut.” The House of Representatives voted to cut almost $4 billion a year from the roughly $80 billion-a-year in food stamps — also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — which go to 47 million Americans a month, almost half of them children and teenagers. A Senate bill would cut around $400 million a year. “We are serving more people right now,” Steineman said, noting 2,000

people have been served all soup kitchen outreach locations last month. “(With the cut in food stamps) I think that there is going to be more people in need.” Some cuts are targeting single women and single men to eliminate them completely from the program. “If that happens, the food pantry will blow up with people in need,” Steineman said. Steineman said with the estimated completion date of Jan. 1, 2014, and said it is God’s Providence the doors of the new facility will open to accept all who need a hot meal at the height of food stamp cuts. “At the end of the day, they’ll be able to sit comfortably and be able to stretch out as far as they can,” Steineman said.

Knight said buyers of the GOTR memorabilia included local or regional fans who came to pick up their items from City Hall. Other buyers of the banners and signs included fans from Texas, Virginia, Michigan and West Virginia, who won their pieces in the online bidding process. One banner brought approximately $300, according to Knight. Knight said one the three remaining pieces have been paid for or abandoned by the winning bidder and resold, a final total will be announced. For dozens of nonprofit groups, however, the euphoria of the stopover weekend continues as donations totaling $37,436 are being distributed to 60 local groups by Troy Main Street, Inc. and Jam Productions, LLC, the festival production company. The organization was provided the funds to recognize the contributions of the nearly 1,700 volunteers who worked the festival. “More than 9,000 volunteer man-hours were worked by the local community to ensure the smooth operation of the festival. We are delighted to provide donations, which are based upon hours served, to organizations that that stepped up big time for this event,”

a great lesson in communication and coordination I hope we can use in the future and integrate some of their ideas.” Harrelson said he received great help from fellow volunteer coordinator Carri Walters who kept the long list of interested volunteers and communication and emails from groups around the region. “She really kept up with all the communication and the lists to keep everything in motion,” Harrelson said. “I can’t thank her enough.” Other non-profits raised funds for causes by teaming up with downtown businesses in the concert venue. Sweeney Todd Salon held a Blowing Out Diabetes event in the salon and raised more than $2,800 for Camp Korelitz, a camp for children with diabetes. CISV, a local Peace organization, teamed up with Winans Chocolates & Coffee and raised $1,500 through a pancake breakfast. The Troy Rec Center also used pancakes to raise more than $6,000 to support the services for the youth of Troy. The Troy Band Boosters sold strawberry donuts from the former Night Sky Coffee House and raised $4,000. Troy Main Street, Inc. coordinated the volunteer recruitment, organization, and management for the stopover, and provided local management for most aspects of the Gentlemen of the Road Stopover.

said Karin Manovich, executive director of Troy Main Street. Most volunteer groups were non-profits, and other businesses designated non-profits to receive their donations. Volunteers worked concert set-up, clean-up, security, parking lots, showers, campgrounds, vending food/drink, box offices, wrist-band distribution, ID checking, first aid, and much more. An estimated 40,000 visitors descended on Troy for multi-day festival for the stopover. Will Harrelson, one of the volunteer coordinators for the GOTR event, said one of the unique aspects of the volunteers for the event was the 1,700 “ambassadors of Troy” who came out to help with the music festival. “It was really neat having 1,700 volunteers coming together as a whole and seeing them interact with guests and pointing them in the direction before and after the show,” Harrelson said. Harrelson said he spent countless hours during the music festival on the grounds assisting with the volunteer efforts. Harrelson also said the city of Troy will most definitely benefit in the future with other volunteer coordination for events such as the Troy Strawberry Festival. “I think we can take a lot of what we learned during the Mumford & Sons concert and use it for volunteer opportunities like the Strawberry Festival,” he said. “It was

a blast with it and they are having fun learning.” Creative Safety has existed for 38 years and services 22 states. Aside from the Firefighter Phil Safety Program, the company runs the Officer Phil Program. The company specialized teaching lessons to children in fun, entertaining and informative ways. • Scheduled Showings The Firefighter Phil Safety Program will kick off in Troy Tuesday, appearing at St. Patrick Catholic School at 9 a.m., and will end the day with a pair of showings at Concord Elementary (10:45 a.m., 1:15 p.m.).

It was established to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire, the Oct. 8, 1871 fire that killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless and destroyed more than 17,400 structures and more than 2,000 acres. The survivors of the Great Chicago Fire and Peshtigo Fire, which happened on the same day in 1871 and is regarded as the most devastating forest

fire in American history, never forgot what they had been through. They never forgot the bravery and heroism that came from the people during the blazes. Those fires were also credited with changing the way that firefighters and public officials thought about fire safety. On the 40th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire, the Fire Marshals Association of North America, known today as the International Fire Marshals Association, decided to honor it in a way that could inform the public about the importance of fire prevention. In 1920, President Woodrow Wilson issued the first National Fire Prevention Day proclamation. Since 1922, Fire Prevention Week has been held on the Sunday through Saturday period which falls during the week of Oct. 9. • American Red Cross The Northern Miami Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross responds to a disaster every eight minutes — and nearly all of these emergencies are home fires. Last year alone, the Northern Miami Valley Chapter responded to 47 single family and apartment fires. In the spirit of Fire Prevention Week, the American Red Cross has issued steps to follow to prevent home fires. To help avoid home fires, follow these simple guidelines: Keep items that can catch on fire at least three feet away from anything that gets hot, never smoke in bed, and turn portable heaters off when leaving the room or going to bed. The American Red Cross also advised the public to put smoke alarms on every level of the home and outside each sleeping area. Every bedroom should also have a smoke alarm.

PIQUA — The YWCA Piqua proudly announces the selection of the 2013 Women of Excellence and Young Woman of Tomorrow honorees. This year’s Women of Excellence are Melissa Romanoli of Troy and Susie Wise, RN, of Piqua. The Young Woman of Tomorrow is Annie Denlinger of Troy. The women will be honored at the 17th annual Women of Excellence Awards Luncheon, a gala celebration Oct. 17 at the Piqua Country Club. The keynote speaker for the event will be Debbie Watts Robinson, CEO of Miami Valley Housing Opportunities. “Many nominations were submitted from clubs, schools, organizations and individuals,” Leesa A. Baker, executive director of the YWCA Piqua, said. “The selection was difficult and an impartial panel of judges, composed of men and women from throughout the county, did an excellent and thorough job in selecting this year’s honorees. We are certainly pleased with the selection and are happy to be honoring these three outstanding women who continue to distinguish themselves in their life endeavors.” Romanoli is a procurement specialist at American Honda Motor Co. of Troy, where she participates in a corporate program allowing associates to volunteer 40 hours per year for nonprofit organizations. Her list of volunteer efforts includes Relay for Life, Blue Star Mothers, Lunch Buddies, National Night Out, Make A Difference Day and others. Shealso was instrumental in organizing a send off last fall for a unit from the Piqua Armory to Afghanistan. A regular blood donor and participant in the Locks of Love hair donation program, Romanoli recently was appointed to the American Honda Foundation Board. ”My parents have always given back and I have just been molded that way,” Romanoli said. “I’m willing to give of my time to pay it forward. To make somebody

ve a D

else happy makes me happy. The more you pay it forward, the better your community is going to be.” Romanoli is married to Joe and has two stepdaughters, Celeste and Elise. Wise, a professor of nursing at Edison Community College, gives of her time to the Health Partners Free Clinic and is vice chair of the board of trustees of Hospice of Miami County. Wise, the oldest of 10 children, found herself at a young age to be a single mom and decided nursing school would be a good thing for her. “I knew I was a caregiver, as I had been doing that all of my life,” she said of her experiences gained as the oldest child. “Nursing was a natural next step for me at that time of my life.” Wise married Gordon Wise nearly 31 years ago and their blended family now added two girls and two boys to her three girls. She continued her education at the encouragement of her husband and worked at Piqua Memorial Hospital for 20 years before joining the faculty in the Edison Nursing Department in 1991. Wise’s advice to a young woman today: “I hope she realizes all of the additional opportunities open for her today that were not really open to young women in the years past. If she finds something she loves that will help other people, she will be well served.” Denlinger, the Young Woman of Tomorrow honoree, deals with stress by serving others. “When I start to get too busy and just very overwhelmed, I find that serving really helps me to refocus and feel good again. It’s just something about serving that takes all my stress away,” she said. Serving indeed is what Denlinger does as this year’s senior class president at Troy High School, member of the National Honor Society, Thespians and Lumberjack Club as well as involvement with student government.

PERSPECTIVE

TROY DAILY NEWS EDITORIAL

Numbers reflect festival’s success It turns out all the pre-Gentlemen of the Road Stopover Tour flap amounted to sound and fury signifying nothing. Prior to the arrival of last months music tour stop — which was headlined by Grammy Award-winning band Mumford & Sons — there was a significant portion of the community that expressed grave concern about what the arrival of the bands, along with tens of thousands of their loyal followers, would mean for Troy. Now that the smoke has cleared and we are one month removed from the event, we now have a clearer picture of what the Gentlemen of the Road Stopover Tour meant for our community — and it turns out it was almost exclusively good news. Many expressed concern — on this very page — there would be large amounts of chaos and crime from rowdy festival attendees. One Troy resident wrote the following in a Troy Daily News letter to the editor: “An army of darkness has aligned against the city of Troy. These people are going to roll into our quiet little town and there is seemingly nothing we can do about it. They are going to leave a path of destruction in their wake. I have no doubt there will be laws broken, morals destroyed, drug and alcohol paraphenalia left behind and a football stadium destroyed.” Looking back now, those concerns seem downright farcical. Thanks in large part to our local law enforcement agencies, there were very few laws broken, including no major violations. There were no morals destroyed. Yes, there were several misdemeanor violations issued — but, according to law enforcement officials, no more than one would see during any other event that brings large amounts of people to Troy. The jails were not filled with drunk revelers. And yes, the Troy Memorial Stadium did survice. The biggest hiccup that took place was the movement of two soccer games from Troy Memorial Stadium to Ferguson Field. By the time the next Troy football game took place, the field was in playing shape and the stadium itself had been cleaned up and returned to its previous condition.

Not only was there nothing lost by Troy hosting the Gentlemen of th Road Stopover Tour — much was actually gained. In today’s edition of the Troy Daily News, it was reported that $37,436 is being distributed to 60 local groups by Troy Main Street, Inc. and Jam Productions, LLC, the festival production company. The organization was provided the funds to recognize the contributions of the nearly 1,700 volunteers who worked the festival. Also, a number of local nonprofit organizations teamed up with downtown busineses to raise money from the festival. For example, Children’s International Summer Village, a local peace organization, teamed up with Winans Chocolates & Coffee and raised $1,500 through a pancake breakfast. The Troy Rec Center also used pancakes to raise more than $6,000 to support the services for the youth of Troy. The Troy Band Boosters sold strawberry donuts from the former Night Sky Coffee House and raised $4,000. The City of Troy also was able to rise money from the event by auctioning off the banners that were flown during the event. Sue Knight, city of Troy clerk of council, estimated the auction brought slightly under $4,000 for the items, not including the three pieces which have not been paid for as of press time. Finally, there is the value of the good publicity brought to Troy, which is immeasurable. This was an event viewed by thousands not only from around the nation, but around the world as well. Troy officials have said they heard nothing but positive comments from festival-goers about our fair city. Many commented on how picturesque the streets were and how well-run the event was. Everyone involved with bringing the festival to Troy — from Troy Main Street to city officials to law enforcement agents to the thousands of volunteers who donated so freely of their time — should be proud of how the event went. We hope something of that magnitude will happen again sooner as opposed to later.

What happened to Miami East’s money? To the Editor: On July 17, 2012, the Miami East School Board informed the taxpayers the substantial cost savings of $1 million from the funding of the new high school would be returned to them. Then, on Oct. 15, 2012, more than a year ago, it was reported the Quandel Group initiated the start of the close-out process for the high school construc-

tion project. Has that process been finalized yet? At the present time, we have not been provided with any information on how that $1 million was budgeted and for what. If the money is still available, I suggest the Miami East teachers and staff (excluding the superintendent and administrators) be given bonuses for their hard work and dedication.

As a Miami East taxpayer, I am willing to give them my share of the $1 million. With what has transpired, why can’t the school board and superintendent be more transparent and accountable dealing with this transaction? Why so secretive in explaining what this $1 million was used for or will be used for? — Bonnie Sullenberger Fletcher

Blue-collar candidates essential to real representation Last week, a small group of extravagantly wealthy Americans shut down our federal government. They weren’t lobbyists. They weren’t big campaign donors. The millionaires who shuttered our civil institutions didn’t have to buy influence from our politicians. The millionaires who shut down Washington are our politicians. On both sides of the aisle, the vast majority of our lawmakers come from the most privileged slice of American society. If Barack Obama, John Boehner, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell sat down to talk about how to solve the budget impasse, no one at the table would have a net worth under $1.7 million. And they aren’t alone. Workingclass jobs — manual labor and service-industry positions — make up a majority of our labor force, but people from those kinds of jobs make up less than 2 percent of Congress. Meanwhile, millionaires — who make up less than 5 percent of the country — control all three branches of

ernment comes at a high price, not just for the less fortunate, but for all of us. It doesn’t have to be this way. Hard data suggest there are droves of talented, politically capable working-class Americans who would make great politicians. And when they run for office, they tend to do well. But many of these potential candidates are being screened out long before Election Day by practical barriers such as the difficulty of taking time off work to campaign or the high cost of running for public office. On the up side, innovative programs to recruit and support middle- and working-class candidates are showing tremendous potential. In New Jersey, the AFLCIO runs a Labor Candidates School; its graduates have won more than 700 state and local races. Pro-worker groups have recently launched similar programs all over the country. This year, Oregon, California, Nevada and Maine were all home to “campaign boot camps” for politically talented blue-collar workers.

hope you get your speed. Because once that happens, the flight’s a success.” Three months later, Carpenter was launched into space from Cape Canaveral, Fla., and completed three orbits around Earth in his space capsule, the Aurora 7, which he named after the celestial event. It was just a coincidence, Carpenter said, that he grew up in Boulder, Colo., on the corner of Aurora Avenue and 7th Street. His four hours, 39 minutes and 32 seconds of weightlessness were “the nicest thing that ever happened to me,” Carpenter told a NASA historian. “The zero-g sensation and the visual sensation of spaceflight are transcending experiences and I wish everybody could have them.” His trip led to many discoveries about spacecraft navigation and space itself, such as that space offers almost no resistance, which he found out by trailing a balloon. Carpenter said astronauts in the Mercury program found most of their motivation in the space race with the Russians. When he completed his orbit of the Earth, he said he thought: “Hooray, we’re tied with the Soviets,”

who had completed two manned orbits at that time. Things started to go wrong on re-entry. He was low on fuel and a key instrument that tells the pilot which way the capsule is pointing malfunctioned, forcing Carpenter to manually take over control of the landing. NASA’s Mission Control then announced that he would overshoot his landing zone by more than 200 miles and, worse, they had lost contact with him. Talking to a suddenly solemn nation, CBS newsman Walter Cronkite said, “We may have … lost an astronaut.” Carpenter survived the landing that day. Always cool under pressure — his heart rate never went above 105 during the flight — he oriented himself by simply peering out the space capsule’s window. The Navy found him in the Caribbean, floating in his life raft with his feet propped up. He offered up some of his space rations. Carpenter’s perceived nonchalance didn’t sit well with some NASA officials, particularly flight director Chris Kraft. The two feuded about it from then on.

Nazi war criminal Erich Priebke dies in Italy

AP Photo This 2007 family photo provided by Shane Benoit from the family hunting website shows his father Lanyard “Larry” Benoit, a deer hunter who helped spawn a revival of the art of tracking, and created an empire of books, videos and seminars. Larry Benoit died Tuesday at his home in Duxbury, Vt. He was 89.

“People just couldn’t believe that we could successfully keep shooting huge bucks every year,” Shane Benoit said Friday. Peter Miller, the photographer and author, worked with the hunter to produce the first Benoit hunting book, “How to Bag the Biggest Buck of Your Life,” published in 1975. A hardcover version of the book is still in print. Since then, most of the publishing has been done by Benoit’s children, also accomplished deer hunters. A website, benoitsbigbucks. com, offers videos, books and hunting gear, and even deer rifles autographed by Larry Benoit and three of his sons.

ROME (AP) — Erich Priebke, a former Nazi SS captain who evaded arrest for nearly 50 years after taking part in one of the worst atrocities by German occupiers in Italy during World War II, died Friday, his lawyer said. He was 100. Priebke was finally extradited to Italy from Argentina in 1995 to face trial for the 1944 massacre, and he was sentenced to life in prison. However he served that sentence under house arrest at the Rome home of his lawyer, Paolo Giachini. Giachini announced the death and released a final interview conducted with Priebke in July during which the German denied that Nazis gassed Jews during the Holocaust and accused the West of having fabricated the crimes to minimize the Allies’ own abuses during the war. Priebke was tried and convicted for his role in the 1944 massacre of 335 civilians by Nazi forces at the Ardeatine Caves outside Rome. The massacre was carried out in retaliation for an attack by resistance fighters that killed 33 members of a Nazi military police unit a day earlier. Priebke admitted shooting two people and round-

ing up victims, but insisted he was only following orders. He long felt like he had been scapegoated, since many other Germans who had participated in the massacre weren’t convicted, another lawyer, Carlo Taormina, told The Associated Press. “The dignity with which he withstood his persecution made him an example of courage, coherence and loyalty,” Giachini said in the statement. Priebke had escaped in 1946 from a British prison camp in Rimini, a resort town on Italy’s Adriatic coast, and had lived in Argentina for nearly 50 years before a U.S. television program reported that he was living freely in the country. That started a lengthy extradition process that

ended with him boarding a plane in Argentina on Nov. 20, 1995, the 50th anniversary of the start of the Nuremberg trials, to stand trial in Italy. The country’s highest appeals court upheld his conviction and life sentence in 1998. He was allowed to serve the term under house arrest due to his age, but was subsequently given small freedoms such as going to church and doing personal shopping — concessions that outraged Rome’s Jewish community. Efraim Zuroff, the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s chief Nazi hunter who just this year launched a new push to search for unpunished war criminals, said Priebke’s case proves it is never too late to seek justice. “Priebke’s death at the age of 100 should be a

powerful reminder that some of the worst perpetrators of the crimes of the Holocaust live to a healthy old age and that a person’s chronological age should never prevent them from being held accountable for their crimes, if they are healthy enough to be brought to justice,” he said in a telephone interview from Jerusalem. “Priebke was a classic example of a totally unrepentant Nazi war criminal.” In his final interview, Priebke denied that gas chambers were used in Nazi concentration camps and that generations have been “brainwashed” into believing that they were. He acknowledged he could be prosecuted for denying the Holocaust, but said such laws “demonstrate fear of the truth coming out.”

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Larry Benoit, a deer hunter who helped spawn a revival of the art of tracking and created an empire of books, videos and seminars, has died. He was 89. Benoit, whose given name was Lanyard, died Tuesday at his home in Duxbury at 89. The cause of death was not released, but his son Shane said his father’s health had been declining. Over the past 40 years, the name Benoit has become synonymous with deer hunting and the bagging of huge bucks, many weighing more than 200 pounds. During a lifetime of hunting, his family estimated, Benoit shot at least 200 bucks. “He has been my hero since I was 12 or 13,” said Scott Smolen, 56, a farmer from Mondovi, Wis., who invited Benoit to hunt his farm last November, when Benoit shot his last buck. Smolen first came to know Benoit by buying hunting supplies from him. “In my opinion,” Smolen said, “he was the greatest deer hunter that ever walked the face of the Earth.” The Benoit name moved beyond just the local hunters of central Vermont after a local photographer and author noticed that during every autumn’s hunting season, several large deer would be hanging outside the Benoit home along Route 100 just outside Waterbury.

New GOP shutdown/debt plan, but no agreement WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans are offering to pass legislation to avert a default and end the 11-day partial government shutdown as part of a framework that would include cuts in benefit programs, officials said Friday. Republicans also seek changes in the three-year-old health care law known as Obamacare as part of an end to an impasse that has roiled financial markets and idled 350,000 federal workers. President Barack Obama has insisted he will not negotiate with Republicans over federal spending — or anything else — until the government is reopened and the $16.7 debt limit raised to avert the possibility of default. Yet, regarding benefit programs, Obama has previously backed an increase in Medicare costs for better-off seniors, among other items, and that idea also has appeal for Republicans. The White House appeared briefly to wobble on the issue of negotiations on Thursday, until Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid emerged from a meeting with the president to reaffirm it emphatically. The House Republicans’ plan was outlined Thursday night in a White House meeting that included senior aides to Obama as well as to House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor, several hours after Obama met with top Republicans. Without confirming any of the details under discussion, Cantor said, “We’re waiting to hear” from administration officials. In addition to ending the

AP Photo Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and other Republican senators return to the Capitol after a two-hour meeting at the White House with President Barack Obama, trying to come up with a bipartisan solution to the budget stalemate, in Washington, Friday. Sen. Collins has proposed a six-month extension of government spending, repeal of the medical device tax and greater flexibility for agencies to deal with across-the-board spending cuts in effect this year. The federal government remains partially shut down and faces a first-ever default between Oct. 17 and the end of the month.

shutdown and increasing the debt limit, under the proposal Congress and the White House would explore ways to ease across-the-board federal budget cuts that began taking effect a year ago, and replace at least part of them with benefit-program curbs that have been included in recent presidential budgets. Officials who described the approach did so on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss private conversations. With the weekend approaching, and the deadline for raising the debt limit five days

away, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said it was time to “put this hysterical talk of default behind us and instead start talking about finding solutions to the problems.” McConnell and Senate Republicans met with Obama at the White House, a session that lasted about 90 minutes. Returning to the Capitol, GOP lawmakers huddled with McConnell, who told reporters, “Now we’re back here to actually work on trying to get a solution on a bipartisan basis.” Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb.,

Global chemical watchdog wins Nobel Peace Prize THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Efforts to eliminate chemical weapons won a Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for the global watchdog trying to destroy Syria’s stockpiles of nerve gas and other poisonous agents. By giving its prestigious prize to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the Norwegian Nobel Committee turned the spotlight both on Syria’s devastating civil war and on a type of weapon that has horrified nations since World War I. The reaction in Syria was notably polarized. A senior Syrian rebel called the award a “premature step” that will divert the world’s attention from “the real cause of the war” while a lawmaker from Syria’s ruling party declared the Nobel to be a vindication of President Bashar Assad’s government. The OPCW was formed in 1997 to enforce the Chemical Weapons Convention, the first international treaty to outlaw an entire class of weapons. Based in The Hague, Netherlands, it has largely worked out of the limelight until this year, when the U.N. called upon its expertise to help investigate alleged chemical weapons attacks in Syria. “The conventions and the work of the OPCW have defined the use of chemical weapons as a taboo under international law,” the Nobel Committee said in Oslo. “Recent events in Syria, where chemical weapons have again been put to use, have underlined the need to enhance the efforts to do away with such weapons.” Friday’s award comes just days before Syria officially joins as OPCW’s 190th member state on Monday. OPCW inspectors are already on a risky U.N.-backed disarmament mission based in Damascus to verify and destroy the government’s arsenal of poison gas and nerve agents. “Events in Syria have been a tragic reminder that there remains much work still to be done,” OPCW Director-General Ahmet Uzumcu

Libya prime minister lashes out at militias after abduction TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Libya’s prime minister, who was abducted briefly by gunmen this week, lashed out on Friday against militias that have fueled his country’s turmoil, warning that some armed group are trying to “terrorize” the government and turn the North African nation into another “Afghanistan or Somalia.” With his nationally televised press conference, the embattled Ali Zidan appeared to be seeking to leverage outrage over his abduction into momentum against the multiple armed groups — many of them including Islamic militants — that run rampant in the country since the 2011 toppling of dictator Moammar Gadhafi. Militias have defied attempts by the weak central authorities to rein them in and often use violence against officials. In a sign of the country’s turmoil, a car bomb detonated Friday morning outside a building housing the Swedish and Finnish consulates in the eastern city of Benghazi, where militias are particularly prominent. No one was hurt in the blast, but it damaged the building’s facade. The city, Libya’s second largest, seen frequent violence, including killings of security officials, as well as a string of attacks on foreign diplomatic missions that have driven most of their staffs out of the city. Zidan has been struggling with militias since he was named a year ago by parliament to lead the first democratically formed government

since Gadhafi’s ouster and death. But the tensions have been enflamed by last Saturday’s raid by U.S. special forces that snatched a Libyan al-Qaida suspect off the streets of the capital and whisked him off to custody in a U.S. warship. The raid angered many militiamen, particularly Islamic extremists among them, who accuse Zidan — who has cultivated close security cooperation with the United States — of collaborating in the abduction of a Libyan citizen. Zidan’s government has denied any prior knowledge of the raid. The raid is believed to have prompted Zidan’s own abduction on Thursday, when gunmen stormed into the luxury Tripoli hotel where he lives and took him away, holding him for several hours. Islamic hard-liners held marches in Tripoli on Friday, denouncing the raid and criticizing the government. The militias originated in the “revolutionary” brigades that fought Gadhafi’s forces. But since his ouster, they

have refused to disarm and have mushroomed in size and power. Many have been enlisted by the state to serve as security forces, since the army and police are weak, underequipped and under-paid. But they often continue to act as armed vigilante factions with their own interests, and some follow radical al-Qaida-style ideologies or are believed to have links to the terror organization. Touting themselves as “revolutionaries,” some have long demanded Zidan’s removal since he once served as an ambassador under Gadhafi. Militias have in the past besieged government buildings and carried out kidnappings — including one last month of the defense minister’s son, apparently to pressure him against trying to rein in the groups. Zidan appeared on TV in front of a line of officials and members of his government, and warned that “there are those who want to take Libya into the unknown. They want to turn Libya into Afghanistan or Somalia.”

(AKH’-meht ooh-ZOOM’-joo) told reporters in The Hague. “Our hearts go out to the Syrian people who were recently victims of the horror of chemical weapons.” “I truly hope that this award and the OPCW’s ongoing mission together with the United Nations in Syria will (help) efforts to achieve peace in that country and end the suffering of its people,” he said. He said the $1.2 million prize money would be used “for the goals of the convention” — to eliminate chemical weapons. By giving the peace award to an international organization, the Nobel committee highlighted the Syrian civil war, now in its third year, without siding with any of the groups involved. The fighting has killed more than 100,000 people, devastated many cities and towns and forced millions of Syrians to flee their homes and country. U.N. war crimes investigators have accused both Assad’s government and the rebels of wrongdoing, although they say the scale and intensity of regime abuses are greater than the rebel abuses. Louay Safi, a senior figure in Syria’s main opposition bloc, called the Nobel award “a premature step.” “If this prize is seen as if the chemical weapons inspections in Syria will help foster peace in Syria and in the region, it’s a wrong perception,” Safi told The Associated Press in a phone interview from Qatar. “But demolishing the regime’s chemical weapons alone will not bring peace to Syria, because many more people are dying because Assad’s troops are killing them with all types of conventional weapons,” he said. Fayez Sayegh, a lawmaker and member of Assad’s ruling Baath party, told the AP the award underscores “the credibility” of the Damascus government. He said Syria is “giving an example to countries that have chemical and nuclear weapons.”

predicted that “over the next three or four days I think you’ll have a House plan kind of morph into a Senate plan. … I’m more optimistic today than I’ve been in the last two weeks.” Additionally, the House voted 248-176 to provide funds for nuclear arms research and security despite the shutdown. It was the latest GOP bill aimed at reviving popular programs during the shutdown — and the latest to die in the Senate, where Reid has rejected bills that fall short of fully reopening the government.

While much of the attention has been focused on the House in recent days, McConnell and other Republicans have been exploring possible legislation to avert the default and end the shutdown and to require the White House to make relatively modest concessions on the health care law. Among the possibilities is a repeal of a medical device tax in the law, or perhaps stronger income verification requirements for individuals who receive federal subsidies to purchase coverage. Determined to resolve the twin crises, the Republicans have reached out to senior Democrats, including New York Sen. Chuck Schumer. Senate Majority Leader Reid rejected the notion of a sixweek increase in the nation’s borrowing authority, pressing not only for a longer, 15-month measure but a reopening of the government. Thursday’s talks were held shortly before a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll was released bearing ominous news for the GOP. It showed more people blaming Republicans than Obama for the shutdown, 53 percent to 31 percent. Just 24 percent viewed the GOP positively, compared with 39 percent with positive views of the Democratic Party. Boehner, R-Ohio, brought a proposal to Thursday’s White House meeting to extend federal borrowing authority through Nov. 22, conditioned on Obama’s agreeing to negotiate over spending cuts and the government shutdown. But participants said the discussion expanded to ways to quickly end the shutdown, which entered its 11th day Friday.

Rights group: rebels in Syria guilty of war crimes against villagers BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian villagers described watching rebels advance on their homes, as mortars thudded around them. By the end of the August attack, 190 civilians had been killed, including children, the elderly and the handicapped, a human rights group said Friday in its most detailed account of alleged war crimes committed by those fighting the Damascus regime. Human Rights Watch said the offensive against 14 pro-regime villages in the province of Latakia was planned and led by five Islamic extremist groups, including two linked to al-Qaida. Other rebel groups, including those belonging to the Free Syrian Army, a Western-backed alliance, participated in the campaign, but there is no evidence linking them to war crimes, the 105-page report said. The new allegations are bound to heighten Western unease about those trying to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad and about who would take over if they were to succeed. “It creates justifiable alarm that the opposition has been infiltrated and undermined by radicals,” said David L. Phillips, a former U.S. State Department adviser on the Middle East. The Free Syrian Army distanced itself from the five groups identified by HRW as the main perpetrators, saying it is not cooperating with extremists. “Anyone who commits such crimes will not belong to the revolution anymore,” said spokes-

man Louay Mikdad. Human rights groups have said both sides in the civil war, now in its third year, have violated the rules of war, but U.N. investigators have said the scale and intensity of rebel abuses hasn’t reached that of the regime. The new allegations come at a time when the regime appears to be regaining some international legitimacy because of its seeming cooperation with a program to destroy Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile by mid-2014. Human Rights Watch researcher Lama Fakih said rebel abuses in the Aug. 4-18 Latakia offensive are the “most egregious and widespread” violations by opposition fighters her group has documented in Syria. “They certainly amount to war crimes” and may even rise to the level of crimes against humanity, said Fakih, who visited the area a month after the attack, with regime permission. The offensive targeted villages that are home to Alawites, or followers of an offshoot of Shiite Islam who form the backbone of Assad’s regime. Alawites are considered heretics by Sunni Muslim extremists among the rebels. The rebels launched their attacks Aug. 4 at dawn, quickly seizing three regime military posts, Human Rights Watch said. Once those posts fell, no pro-government troops were left in the area and the rebels overran the villages, according to the report.

“Witnesses described waking up to the sound of fighters coming into their villages, the sound of mortar and gunfire, and they frantically tried to leave,” said Fakih, who interviewed more than three dozen villagers, medical staff and officials from both sides. Some couldn’t run fast enough, witnesses said. One man from a hamlet near the village of Blouta told Human Rights Watch he escaped with his mother, while black-clad rebels were shooting at them from two directions. The man said he left his elderly father and 80-year-old blind aunt behind because of their disabilities. After regime forces retook the area, he said he returned home and found his father had been killed in his bed, and his aunt, Nassiba, in her room. Another man, Hassan Shebli from the village of Barouda, said he fled without his wife, who was unable to walk without crutches, and without their paralyzed 23-yearold son. When Shebli returned days later, he found his wife and son buried near the house and bullet holes and blood splattered in the bedroom, the New York-based group said. Human Rights Watch said it compiled a list of 190 civilians killed in the offensive, and that at least 67 of them were killed at close range or while trying to flee. There are signs that most of the others were also killed intentionally or indiscriminately, but more investigation is needed, the group said.

ND farmer finds oil spill while harvesting wheat BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota farmer who discovered an oil spill the size of seven football fields while out harvesting wheat says that when he found it, crude was bubbling up out of the ground. Farmer Steve Jensen says he smelled the crude for days before the tires on his combines were coated in it. At the apparent break in the Tesoro Corp.’s underground pipeline, the oil was “spewing and bubbling 6 inches high,” he said in a telephone interview Thursday. What Jensen had found on Sept. 29 turned out it was one of the largest spills recorded in the state. At 20,600 barrels it was four times the size of a pipeline rupture in late March that forced the evacuation of more than 20 homes in Arkansas. But it was 12 days after Jensen reported the spill before state officials told the public what had happened, raising questions about how North Dakota, which is in the midst of an oil boom, reports such incidents. The spill happened in a remote area in the northwest corner of the state. The nearest home is a half-mile away, and Tesoro says no water sources were contaminated, no wildlife was hurt and no one was injured. The release of oil has been stopped, state environment geologist Kris Roberts said Thursday. And the spill — spread out over 7.3 acres, or about the size of seven football fields, — has

been contained. Jacob Wiedmer, who was helping Jensen harvest his wheat crop, likened the Sept. 29 discovery to the theme song from “The Beverly Hillbillies” television show. “It was just like Jed Clampett shooting at some food …” he said of the oil coming from the ground. “Except we weren’t hunting, we were harvesting.” Gov. Jack Dalrymple, who says he wasn’t even told about what happened until Wednesday night, said the state is now investigating its procedures for reporting spills. “There are many questions to be answered on how it occurred and how it was detected and if there was anything that could have been done that could have made a difference,” Dalrymple said Thursday, when questioned at a news conference on a separate topic. “Initially, it was felt that the spill was not overly large,” Dalrymple said. “When they realized it was a fairly sizable spill, they began to contact more people about it.” Jensen said he had harvested most of his wheat before the spill, but the land is no longer usable for planting. “We expect not to be able to farm that ground for several years,” he said. Tesoro Logistics, a subsidiary of the San Antonio, Texas-based company that owns and

operates parts of Tesoro’s oil infrastructure, said in a statement that the affected portion of the pipeline has been shut down. “Protection and care of the environment are fundamental to our core values, and we deeply regret any impact to the landowner,” Tesoro CEO Greg Goff said in a statement. “We will continue to work tirelessly to fully remediate the release area.” Wayde Schafer, a North Dakota spokesman for the Sierra Club, said the spill is an example of the lack of oversight in a state that has exploded with oil development in recent years. “We need more inspectors and more transparency,” Schafer said. “Not only is the public not informed, but agencies don’t appear to be aware of what’s going on and that’s not good.” Eric Haugstad, Tesoro’s director of contingency planning and emergency response, said the hole in the 20-year-old pipeline was a quarter-inch in diameter. Tesoro officials were investigating what caused the hole in the 6-inch-diameter steel pipeline that runs underground about 35 miles from Tioga to a rail facility outside of Columbus, near the Canadian border. Roberts said it may have been caused by corrosion. Roberts said state and federal regulators are monitoring the cleanup, and Tesoro estimated it would cost $4 million.

Ouellette carries Covington Three 3rd-quarter TDs lead Buccs past Vikings Josh Brown

Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com

CASSTOWN — There was simply no way A.J. Ouellette should have been able to find a way out of the jumbled mess in the middle of the field on a third-and-7 run up the gut. And there was just no way, after he had plowed his was through and worked his way to the sideline, that the Covington senior

should have been able to spin away from the two Miami East tacklers both trying to drag him down from behind. But Ouellette’s mind-blowingly improbable 72-yard touchdown run on the third play from scrimmage in the second half also proved to be a back-breaking one as the Buccaneers turned a 6-0 Anthony Weber | Troy Daily News halftime lead into a dominant 34-0 performance Friday night at Covington’s A.J.

Executive Editor dfong@civitasmedia.com

Miles Hibbler etched his name into the history books Friday night — but it’s going to come with a mighty big asterisk. Troy’s senior tailback did surpass the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the season — becoming the first Troy running back to do that since 2008 — but it came with a gut-wrenching 33-28 loss to Butler Friday at Troy Memorial Stadium. With the loss, Troy fell to 2-5, 0-2 in the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division. Butler improved to 4-3, 2-0 in the GWOC North. Hibbler is the 41st running back in school history to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a season — but with Troy already sitting on five losses this year, he becomes just the third of those 41 running backs to accomplish that feat in a non-winning season. In 2006, Dustin Messer rushed for 1,000 as the Trojans went 5-5; in 1968, current Troy assistant coach Tom Massie See TROY | 15 Troy’s Marco Anverse (1) tackles Butler’s Jacob Naas Friday.

TIPP CITY — Tippecanoe coach Charlie Burgbacher and his bunch were happy to get a win over Stebbins on homecoming night. But the Red Devils won’t be celebrating long — the next three weeks will be all about taking care of business. “Every week is big from here on out — every week it big,” Burgbacher said. “It’ll be fun.” Running back Jacob Hall scored five first-half touchdowns and Tippecanoe stayed unbeaten with a 63-20 win Friday. “It’s important to come out and get a good fast start, set the tempo early and get into our game,” Burgbacher said. “We’ve had a tendency to do that, and I’d much rather be doing that than trying to hang around.” And start fast they did.

Quarterback Ben Hughes connected with Jacob Hall on a 34-yard touchdown pass on Tipp’s first offensive play, which came following a fumble on the punt snap. Taylor Clark’s extra point made it 7-0 less than three minutes into the game. After the Red Devil ‘D’ forced a three-and-out on the next Indian drive, Tipp fumbled away the ball at midfield, and KeShawn Stafford picked it up and ran it 57 yards for the score … but that would be the lone bright spot for Stebbins. The Red Devils responded with 42 unanswered points to end the first half. On Tipp’s next series, Cameron Johnson — who had three consecutive runs of 15 or more yards at one point in the first half — got a great block from homecoming king Jarett Wasson, allowing him to spring around the end for a 15-yard gain, which set up

first-and-goal at the nine. Jacob Hall punched it in for a 9-yard TD on the very next play. Jacob Hall opened the second quarter with a 1-yard rushing TD, making it 21-7 with 10:01 remaining. Following another three-and-out by the Stebbins’ offense, Jacob Hall busted through the middle untouched for a 59-yard touchdown — and the rout was on. Johnson took a 28-yard run to the house with 4:27 left in the second. “You’ve got him (Jacob Hall) and you’ve got Cameron, and both of those kids are good running backs,” Burgbacher said. “The kids are doing a good job of blocking up front there, and it’s allowing those guys to use their athletic skills.” Stebbins marched down the field on its next drive, but had the drive derailed by a fumble, See TIPP | 15

COLUMBUS — Lindsey Murray had her best day ever at Ohio State University’s Gray Course. The rest of the Red Devils enjoyed their first trip there, as well. Murray, a senior, shot a 70 on the first day of the Division II state girls golf tournament Friday in Columbus — her best single round at state in three trips — putting herself in s e c o n d Murray place in the individual standings by a single stroke to lead the Red Devils to a spot in fifth place with a team score of 353 after the first round. Kans as Lakot a’s Makayla Dull — an individual qualifier — shot a 69 and sits in first place after one day individually. Chaminade Julienne leads the team standings with an opening-round 334. Gates Mills Hawken is in second with 339 and Huron and Dover are tied for third with 350. S ophomore Tori Merrick stepped up and shot an 89 for Tippecanoe, tied for 31st in the individual standings. Junior Erika Brownlee shot a 93 and sophomores Ally Chitwood and Sammie Rowland each shot 101 as the Red Devils made their first appearance as a team at state since 2008 — when they finished second by one stroke to Poland Seminary. That year, Tippecanoe was tied for second after one day with a 346 — tied, oddly enough, with the eventual winner — with both trailing Hathaway Brown by two strokes. Meaning the Red Devils have some extra climbing to do today when the final round begins. For Murray, though, it was a stellar day. She shot four strokes better than she had in any previous round at the state tournament. She qualified for the Division I state tournament in her freshman and sophomore seasons as an individual, shooting a 77-83—160 in 2010 and a 74-81—157 in 2011. And after missing out on qualifying as a junior, she’s looking to go out a champion. Today’s final round begins at 9 a.m.

QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

SPEED FREAKS

A couple of questions we just had to ask — ourselves

AP/COLIN E. BRALEY

Taking aim at the top, or settling into that third-place seat? Was Kansas the start of a Kevin Harvick rally? GODSPEAK: Yes. I’ve got Harvick fever. He figured it out. Keep your car out front and you win the race. KEN’S CALL: Yeah, he rallied all the way to third in the standings. That’s about where it’ll end.

James Hylton finally retired at 79. What’s next for him? GODSPEAK: He can coach up much younger drivers, like Ken Schrader and Bobby Labonte. KEN’S CALL: Next season’s sentimental favorite on “Dancing With the Stars.”

GORDON’S RACING PASSION

It’s a fact. Young drivers can’t outrace Father Time. Jeff Gordon took NASCAR by storm in the mid-1990s but hasn’t won a championship since 2001. For those of you counting at home, that’s a 12-year title drought for the 42-year-old. But the driver, once called “Wonder Boy,” says he still has a passion for stock-car racing and winning and chasing championships. Gordon has endured some down years, but he’s not out, and he continues to make history. He became the first 13th driver added to a Chase field, thanks to NASCAR Chairman Brian France’s 11th-hour decree. Gordon is making the most of the second chance, scoring top-fives in his past two starts and moving north in the standings. He started shotgun on the field in Chase Race 1. Now, he’s fourth and a tempting 32 points from Chase leader Matt Kenseth with six races left. “We’ve had a tough year,” Gordon said after a third-place finish at Kansas. “Last year was tough enough, and then this year, I thought that we’d gotten all that out of our system and we didn’t seem to have. “But I’ll tell you what, we never stopped working and trying to get the cars to suit my liking. And when the cars are solid and giving me good feedback and I can get aggressive with it, then my confidence goes up. And right now my team has been bringing great race cars to the race track. I’m having a lot of fun.”

UNDER THE RADAR

Here’s a “Silly Season” deal done under the radar. Brad Keselowski, the 2012 Cup champion, and his sponsor, MillerCoors, quietly inked “multiyear” contract extensions with Penske Racing. “The extensions of our agreements with both Brad Keselowski and MillerCoors put our team in a real position of strength moving forward,” team owner Roger Penske said. “This is an important day as these agreements will allow Penske Racing to invest significantly in our people and our technology, two critical areas to a successful race team.” When you think about all the drama provided by Keselowski the past few years, he is priceless.

A CAUTION FOR WHAT? The Kansas race produced 15 yellow flags. Most were for crashes, but caution No. 8 was for “smoke in Turn 1,” according to the race report. The smoke was coming from a small grass fire near a spectator area, making it the weirdest caution of the season.

Can Kyle now be Kyle? He held it together pretty well during the regular season and through three weeks into the Chase, but he seemed intent on sending folks to their underground shelters in Kansas. He wrecked Brad Keselowski on Saturday, then became a one-man caution flag on Sunday. Then, of course, he ripped the track and Goodyear. Yep, he’s back.

WHAT’S ON TAP?

The guy who has redefined the expectations of a lame-duck driver. As discussed all season long — back when it became apparent Kevin Harvick was leaving Richard Childress Racing after this year — drivers rarely run up front when they’re spending so much of their off time packing boxes. Maybe the current business climate has dictated changes, or maybe it’s the robust competitive spirit of Harvick and Childress. Whatever, they’ve ducked the normal issues that dog such teams and now run third.

To her credit, she took full blame for her first-lap crash. Of course, she’d gone untouched and had no other choice.

Winner: Dale Earnhardt Jr. Rest of the top five: Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth, Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch Dark horse: Jamie McMurray

Disappointment: Jimmie Johnson First one out: Michael McDowell Don’t be surprised if: Harvick keeps climbing the standings ladder.

BRAD KESELOWSKI

Kyle Busch vs. Brad Keselowski: Busch wrecked Keselowski in the Kansas Nationwide race, triggering Keselowski to say, “I got wrecked by a dirty driver.” Godwin Kelly gives his take: “These two guys don’t like each other at all, and this will likely transfer up to the Sprint Cup Series.”

KANSAS REWIND

Danica gets no laps in Kansas race Danica Patrick said her No. 10 Chevrolet was fast and she ran really well in practice leading up to Sunday’s Cup race at Kansas Speedway. Patrick was credited with no laps run because she crashed on Lap 1. Here’s what she had to say afterwards:

What happened? “I knew that going into the race, based on practice and everything we’ve seen from practice in Cup to the Nationwide race, that losing grip was going to be not that hard to do. And so I said that before the race even; I said make sure that we’re on top of who is on my door and who is behind me. “And I knew all that was going to be happening on the start. And I had enough momentum to go to the middle because I got a run on the car in front of me but I had to wait past the start-finish line. I lifted going into Turn 1, and all I can say is that, you know, I didn’t try and do anything. I just found myself sideways in the middle of the corner, and that was it. “And it’s just a shame because it always seems to be the case (on) those weekends when things start to be going better, and I’ve had lots of people say, ‘You looked good in practice yesterday’ and felt a lot better, and

Bulldogs remain winless, fall 54-34 Staff Reports

WEST MILTON — The Milton-Union Bulldogs put themselves in prime position to pick up their first win of the season after the first quarter Friday night, building a 21-8 lead. But Preble Shawnee (3-4, 2-2 Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division) outscored them 26-0 in the second quarter to take control and finished off a 54-34 victory at Memorial Stadium. Kenton Dickison scored on an 8-yard run and caught a 67-yard touchdown pass from London Cowan and Chase

Martens scored on a 13-yard run to make it 21-6 after one. But Trey Smith returned a kickoff 94 yards to begin the second quarter, and Joby Williams caught three straight touchdown passes to make it 34-21 at the half. Milton-Union (0-7, 0-3) travels to Dixie in Week 8. TV South 15, Bethel 7 WEST ALEXANDRIA — The Bethel Bees were close to pulling out a victory over playoff contender Twin Valley South Friday night, but things went haywire for the Bees in the final quarter. Bethel held a 7-6 advantage

going into the fourth quarter, but TV South went up 8-7 with a safety, then Wes Cole added a 6-yard rushing TD later in the quarter and the Panthers (5-2) stayed in the playoff race with a 15-7 win. Alex Wilson scored Bethel’s lone TD on a 6-yard run in the second quarter. Bethel (2-5, 2-4) plays against National Trail next Friday. Lehman 21, Ft. Loramie 14 FORT LORAMIE — Lehman edged Ft. Loramie 21-14 in a big Northwest Central Conference showdown Friday night. John Husa’s 2-yard TD in

the fourth quarter sealed the deal for the Cavaliers. Nick Rourke got Lehman started by catching a 54-yard TD pass from Andrew Westerheide in the first quarter. Rourke added a 54-yard TD run in the third. The Cavaliers (6-1, 3-0) play against Ridgemont next week. Piqua 46, Sidney 17 PIQUA — Trent Yeomans continued to run wild — and the Piqua football defense decided enough was enough. That combination led to a 29-0 onslaught in the second half against Sidney Friday night — ending a five-game skid and keeping the “Battered

Helmet” in its rightful home as the Piqua posted a 46-17 victory over Yellow Jackets to celebrate homecoming at Alexander Stadium/Purk Field Friday night. Piqua (2-5, 1-1) will travel to Greenville Friday. TC North 54, Bradford 14 LEWISBURG — Tri-County North rebounded from a loss to Covington last week with a 54-14 win over Bradford Friday. With the victory, the Panthers improve to 6-1, 5-1 in Cross County Conference play. Bradford (0-7, 0-6) plays against Arcanum next week.

Covington From Page 12 Miami East in a matchup of two undefeated teams. It was one of three third-quarter touchdowns for Ouellette that pushed the Buccs’ lead to 27-0 by the time the fourth quarter rolled around. He compiled 196 yards on 10 second-half carries and finished the game with 268 yards on 21 touches. “A.J.’s just a special kid, and for a lot of reasons,” Covington coach Dave Miller said. “Not only because he’s a good athlete, but also because of the leadership he shows to his teammates, and he’s just the most unselfish kid I’ve ever seen.” Ouellette also kicked a pair of field goals in the first half, from 38 and 33 yards away, for the only points by either team until the break in what seemed to be a defensive battle. In the end, though, the Buccs (7-0, 6-0 Cross County Conference) simply wore down the Vikings. They turned 100 first-half rushing yards into 294 in the second half, while allowing only 109 yards of total offense in the game by Miami East — 36 in the second half. “Our offensive line just took over, and we started dominating up front,” Miller said. “We were only up 6-0 at the half, and our defense held up. “That’s three years in a row that they haven’t scored on us. That’s a credit to our defensive staff and the kids for

of the game, taking the ball from its own 15 and pushing it to the Covington 35. But quarterback Connor Hellyer missed the mark with a pass on fourth-and-4, and the score remained 6-0 at the half. After Ouellette’s

72-yard score to start the third quarter, Miami East still had a little fight left, driving the ball into Buccaneer territory for only the second time in the game. After Hellyer completed a fourthdown pass to Fellers to give the Vikings a first

down on the Covington 48, though, Miami East fumbled it away — and two plays later, Ouellette took an option pitch untouched 56 yards for another score to make it 20-0. “That first one, we had him for only a 2-yard gain if we tackle him. We had three guys on him at the point of attack. He just broke out of there,” Current said. “I don’t know how he did it, if someone knocked him out or if he just shook free. “That second one, after the fumble and they turned it into a quick score, that was two key plays. The wheels kind of fell off after that.” After a Viking threeand-out, Covington went 76 yards in seven plays, the final one being a 4-yard Ouellette touchdown that made it 27-0 after three. The Vikings only had one possession in the fourth quarter — a three-and-out — and Bobby Alexander added a 1-yard touchdown to make the final 34-0. The Buccs return home to host Twin Valley South in Week 8, while Miami East travels to 6-1 TriCounty North for its second tough test in a row. “(Tri-County North) is a good ballclub,” Current said. “We’ve just got to put this game behind us and worry about next week. Show some resiliency, get after it and concentrate on Tri-County North.”

too many mistakes and you can’t do that against a team like Butler.” Hibbler came into the game needing just 41 yards to pass the 1,000 yard mark. He ended the drama early. With the game tied 7-7 after the two teams exchanged touchdowns to open the contest — Troy’s came on a nifty 19-yard run by Barr — Hibbler got his first carry of the night and promptly ripped off a 73-yard run to put the Trojans up 14-7 and pass the magical 1,000-yard plateau. After Craine tied the game on a 2-yard run. Hibbler again put the Trojans up 52-yard run that saw him break three tackles on his way to the endzone. Troy couldn’t convert on the extra point attempt, but still maintained a 20-14 lead with just 1:18 left to play in the half. Just as it did late in the

game, Butler fumbled the ensuing kickoff and Troy’s Justice Rees appeared to pounce on it. Troy was called for holding on the play, however, giving the Aviators the ball at midfield. Five plays later, Flatt bulled his way in from 13 yards out, giving the Aviators a 21-20 lead — and a huge swing in momentum — heading into halftime. Hibbler finished the night with 19 carries for 219 yards and three touchdowns — but just as Butler had no answer for Hibbler, Troy had just as few answers for Craine. The quarterback completed 13 of 21 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown, while adding a rushing touchdown. More than that, however, he was able to get the Aviators out of several

tight situations, converting three fourth-down conversions — two with passes and one with a run. “They made more plays than we did,” Brewer said. “We couldn’t get off the field when we needed to and we couldn’t make the big plays when we needed to. We made some big plays and we got some key stops, but when it mattered most, they always seemed to have more than we did.” Things don’t get any easier for the Trojans next week as they travel to Trotwood-Madison, the Division II state champion in 2011 and the state runner-up in 2012. “We’ve got to find a way to regroup after this one,” Brewer said. “And we’ve got to figure out a way to finish games when we get the chance.”

executing the gameplan. Miami East has a lot of talent. (Michael) Fellers is a heck of an athlete, and they’ve got a lot of other weapons besides him. To be able to contain them says a lot about our kids.” “We knew it would be hard on offense,” Miami East coach Max Current said. “We felt pretty good about going into halftime down 6-0. All we needed was one play and we’d have had the lead. We’ve been preaching all week that if we’re right there going into the fourth quarter, it’s anyone’s game.” It was Covington’s second straight win over not only an undefeated team, but also the No. 1 team in the computer rankings in Division VI, Region 22. Last week, the Buccs beat then-5-0 Tri-County

North 22-14, putting the Vikings into the top spot in their region. The Vikings (6-1, 5-1 CCC) entered the game undefeated this late in the season for the first time since 1982 — but Covington put their backs to the wall on the very first play of the game by recovering an onside kick at Miami East’s 38. After a few short gains, Ouellette kicked a 38-yard field goal to make it 3-0 Buccs. Both teams struggled to move the ball on each other’s defenses for a while, but then Covington went on a 12-play drive — the key play being a 12-yard carry by Ouellette on fourth-and-2 from their own 46. It ended with a 33-yard field goal with 6:50 left in the half. Miami East followed that with its best drive

Troy From Page 12 rushed for 1,003 yards as the Trojans went 2-8. “This one hurts,” Troy coach Scot Brewer said. “We still haven’t learned how to finish games.” Midway through the fourth quarter, it appeared the Trojans were on the verge of finishing. Down 27-20, Hibbler broke off a 51-yard touchdown run — his third score of the night — to pull the Trojans within one point, 27-26, with just under six minutes to play in the game. He then ran in the two-point conversion to put the Trojans up 28-27. Butler couldn’t handle the ensuing kickoff and Troy’s Frankie Quintero pounced on it at the Aviator 31. At that point, the Trojans had all the momentum and appeared to be on their way to icing the game. On the very next play, however, Butler jarred the ball loose from Hibbler’s grasp and fell on the ball at the Aviator 28

with 5:46 to play. From there, Butler quarterback Chandler Craine marched the Aviators deep to within Trojan territory. Troy’s defense stiffened, however, forcing a fourth-and-8 at the Trojan 31. Craine dropped back to pass and found a wide-open Layton Flatt along the left sideline. The Aviator fullback rumbled in, untouched, to put the Aviators up 33-28 with 1:49 left to play in the game. Troy had a final chance to go ahead, however, as

quarterback Matt Barr completed a pair of passes to Alex Magoteaux to give the Trojans the ball at the Aviator 43. Flatt, however, picked off Barr’s final pass of the night to wrap up the victory for the Aviators. “We just made too many mistakes at the end of the game,” Brewer said. “It was for lack of effort by our kids. They played hard the entire game. We just made

Stebbins’ QB KeShawn Stafford was intercepted by Wasson on the first play after the Tipp TD, setting Hall’s final score of the half, a 48-yard run.

Wasson later added a 3-yard touchdown catch from Hughes in the fourth quarter. “He’s (Wasson) got a lot of spunk and he brings a lot of energy to the game,” Burgbacher said. “He plays that way all the time.” The Tippecanoe defense forced a punt on the drive

following the Wasson TD catch — and Alex Hall returned it 52 yards for the score. Stebbins added some points in the second half with a 1-yard TD from Stafford and an 81-yard run by backup quarterback Louis Ryan. Jacob Hall finished the game with 181 yards on 15

carries. On defense, Sean Ford had an interception and a fumble recovery. Tipp (7-0, 2-0 Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division) travels to play rival Tecumseh next week, then plays Kenton Ridge on the road the following week, before ending the season at home against Shawnee.

Troy Daily News â&#x20AC;˘ www.troydailynews.com

Buckeyes assessing situation after 6 games COLUMBUS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Urban Meyer wants his Ohio State Buckeyes to have a constructive week of practice and then enjoy a Saturday without the physical and mental stresses of a game. He does not want to get any phone calls in the middle of the night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people see a bye week, they go act like a jerk over the weekend,â&#x20AC;? he said after Wednesday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Football is a tough, violent, contact sport. So your joints and your shoulders and everything need a break. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for. But to come back (out of shape) and not at least watch some football, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be

a disgrace. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have a real problem with that.â&#x20AC;? So the fourth-ranked Buckeyes were given Sunday and Monday off, will practice through this week and then will be released to go home, relax, maybe go see their high school team play and then watch some games on TV. They report back at 6 a.m. on Monday morning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d better not have partied too hard. Ohio State is using this week to heal bumps and bruises, assess players and plays, underscore the things done right and improve those which have not been so good. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re six games in. We have a week to kind of take a deep

breath,â&#x20AC;? said quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator Tom Herman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are we good at? What arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we good at? Where do we need to get better? What do we need to enhance and keep doing?â&#x20AC;? The Buckeyes have been very good defensively against the run, ranking seventh in the nation while giving up just 86.2 yards on the ground per game. But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also been less than stout against the pass. A week after stopping No. 23 Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brawny running game but giving up a lot through the air in a 31-24 victory, they shut down No. 16 Northwestern on the ground but surrendered almost 300

yards passing in a 40-30 win that was far closer than the score indicates. On the weekly Big Ten coaches teleconference, Meyer called the pass defense â&#x20AC;&#x153;alarming.â&#x20AC;? The Buckeyes are giving up 240 yards a game through the air, which is 76th in the nation. Cornerback Doran Grant, however, says the most important thing is to look at the big picture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing pretty good,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got to sharpen up a few things. We just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have missed tackles as a team. Everybody has to keep running to the ball.â&#x20AC;? Meyer is also upset with missed tackles that lead to big

plays, although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that Ohio State does miss safety Christian Bryant. Bryant was lost for the season with a broken ankle at the end of the Wisconsin game. His replacements didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly come up big against Northwestern. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That still is not settled yet,â&#x20AC;? Meyer said of filling the hole left by Bryantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a stinger.â&#x20AC;? On offense, the Buckeyes are concentrating on continuing to run the ball the way they have been. They are built around the solid play of an offensive line that has four senior starters. Bruising tailback Carlos Hyde has done the rest.

Haden set for showdown with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Megatronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BEREA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The blackand-white map of the Hawaiian Islands taped inside Joe Hadenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s locker serves as both motivation and reminder to the Browns cornerback. His goal is to play in the Pro Bowl. He may be on his way. Aloha. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing phenomenal,â&#x20AC;? Browns linebacker Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Qwell Jackson said of his teammate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would be surprised if he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the Pro Bowl this year.â&#x20AC;? But before he can begin making any winter travel plans, Haden has more work to do. This week, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preparing for a matchup Sunday against Detroit star wide receiver Calvin Johnson, the physical phenomenon nicknamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Megatronâ&#x20AC;? who keeps opposing coaches awake at night trying to devise ways to slow him down. Johnson missed last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Green Bay with a knee injury, and was limited in practice this week. But the Browns are expecting Johnson to play, and if he does, Haden will be assigned to cover the 6-foot5, 236-pounder with the wing span of a hang glider and speed to burn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just look at the dude,â&#x20AC;? Haden

said, describing Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big, strong and fast. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing really else that you have to say about him, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so good.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another challenge for Haden, who has handled everything the Browns â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or their opponents â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have thrown at him this season. In Week 4, Haden limited Bengals receiver A.J. Green to seven catches for 51 yards in Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 17-6 win. Green was unable to get free from Haden for a big play, and finished with a 16-yard reception as his longest gain.Green is a tough assignment. Johnson is a whole other level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only receiver I would say is better than A.J.,â&#x20AC;? Haden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The one thing about it is that his quarterback has so much confidence in him. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just no matter what, he can be covered, and he has so many opportunities to get to the rock. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to throw it up no matter what.â&#x20AC;? Haden has yet to get an interception this season, but that may have more to do with teams staying away from him. According to STATS, Haden is averaging 1.13 passes defensed per game, the

second-highest average among NFL players with at least 50 passes broken up (PBUs) since 1994. Darrelle Revis is first at 1.23. Haden hopes to one day be regarded on the same level as Revis. His performance against Green helped raise his profile, but Haden wants to take it higher, and a solid game could help him get more national exposure.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for everybody else to hear about how good Calvin is, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not putting anything past myself,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the challenge. I like to go up against somebody like him, because it lets me know exactly where I stand. If you go against the best receiver in the league and you hold your own and do your thing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to be one of those corners that can be able to go up against the Calvins, go up against the A.J.s, and not be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh Joe, why are you so worried about him?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? (Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather it be) â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Calvin, you have to go against Joe this week.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; You know what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m saying? Maybe one of these days itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be like that, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just go and grind and make sure I play one of my best games.â&#x20AC;? Defensive coordinator Ray Horton has enough confidence in Haden to allow him to take on Johnson without any help. But since the day he arrived in Cleveland, Horton, who coached two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Peterson in Arizona, has been pushing Haden and demanding more. So far, Haden has produced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joe is one of the players we challenged to be better,â&#x20AC;? Horton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is a player who has tremendous potential and we are trying to get that out of him and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve challenged him to be â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and I joke with him â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Patrick Peterson. Patrick wants to be great and we want to Joe to be great. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way to challenge a guy to be better than maybe he knows he can be.â&#x20AC;? Jackson has detected a drive in

AP Source: Dead 2-year-old Petersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson mourned the death of his young son Friday, while words of support poured in from all corners of the sports world. Authorities said a 2-year-old boy died Friday of injuries suffered in an alleged child abuse case in South Dakota, and a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Peterson Press the boy was Petersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son. Lincoln County Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorney Tom Wollman confirmed the death of the child, who had been in critical condition in a hospital with severe head injuries since Wednesday. The boy died at 11:43 a.m. at Sanford USD Medical Center in Sioux Falls after being removed from life support, Wollman said. Wollman said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll

review police and medical reports before making further decisions about criminal charges, possibly by early next week. Joseph Patterson, 27, was charged with aggravated assault and aggravated battery in the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death. He had a court appearance Friday and was ordered held on $750,000 cash bond. P e t e r s o n declined to talk about the case after practice Friday, and prosecutors and police in South Dakota declined to confirm the boy was his son. However, a person with knowledge of the situation confirmed the connection to the AP on condition of anonymity because Peterson had requested privacy. Speaking to reporters about an hour after the time of death, Peterson said he was certain heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll play Sunday against Carolina.
