A deal: Voting to avoid default, open government WASHINGTON (AP) — Up against one last deadline, Congress raced to pass legislation Wednesday avoiding a threatened national default and ending a 16-day partial government shutdown along the strict terms set by President Barack Obama when the twin crises began.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Former Troy High School band director Don Ryder has been named interim director of the University of Tennessee marching band — “The Pride of the Southland.” Ryder, who served as the Troy City Schools band director from 1986-1993, replaces Gary Sousa, who has been put on paid administrative leave for the remainder of the fall semester. According to university officials, Sousa was placed on administrative leave because of “insubordination, a misrepresentation of facts and a lack of confidence in his ability “to work constructively and collaboratively with others going forward.” School officials also said Sousa promoted misleading claims to alumni and band members, encouraging them to speak out against the athletic department
over limited playing time and budget cuts reducing the band’s travel to away football games. University of Tennessee provost Susan Martin wrote in a letter to Sousa that competing for resources in a university is normal but his actions are “shockingly insubordinate.” This decision came Monday, five days after Tennessee’s band issued a statement saying it was in a “bitter battle” with the school’s athletic department regarding the band’s travel Ryder and Neyland Stadium’s game-day atmosphere. “You will not earn my support through threats, petulance, public disruption or whining,” Tennessee chancellor Jimmy Cheek said in a letter he wrote to Sousa on Monday. “You are a professional band director and a tenured faculty member; please act like it.”
In the statement it released Oct. 9, the band complained that the athletic department had “slashed” the band’s travel budget. The band also said it had a reduced role in home football games because of all the commercials and pre-recorded music that played on the public address system. University officials said the band played “significantly more” at Tennessee’s last game against Georgia than it had in the Volunteers’ previous home games this season. According to the school’s official biography of Ryder, it states he “is Associate Professor of Music and Associate Director of Bands. His duties include working extensively with the ‘Pride of the Southland’ Marching Band, conducting the UT Symphonic Band and teaching undergraduate instrumental conducting.”

Ryder earned his bachelor of music education degree from Bowling Green State University, a master of music education degree from the University of Iowa and a doctor of musical arts degree in wind conducting from the University of Iowa. Prior to arriving in Troy, Ryder served as band director for the Newark City Schools from 1983-86. At Troy, the American School Band Directors Association named Ryder the top high school band director in the country and presented him with its Stansbury Award in 1991. Following his time in Troy, Ryder taught at Amana-Clear Creek Schools in Iowa and Delaware City Schools in Ohio before joining the faculty at Sam Houston State University in Texas. Ryder has been with the University of Tennessee the past 14 years. He was not immediately available for comment.

Covington’s Manson signs with Jagermeister Colin Foster
TROY — The Troy City Council committee of safety and health ruled to go forward with a recommendation to authorize 2014 funding of the Miami County Public Health department. Chairman Lynne Snee, along with committee members Robin Oda and Al Clark reviewed the recommendation for all council members to fund the health department in the amount of $346,281.34 for fiscal year 2014. According to records, the city paid the health department $341,259 for services of the county health department for its services. The funding reflects 0.6 mills of funding since the city does not have its own health department.

COVINGTON — To this day, Clark Manson still is in awe about the love and support he has received from people in the area and fans all across the country. The country singer from Covington signed a record deal over the summer. Since then, the amount of followers on the @ClarkManson Twitter account has swelled to more than 21,000, while his first single — “I Love It When You Drive” — from the album “Running With The Night” has amassed more than 34,000 views on YouTube. But on Sept. 14, Manson, a 2009 Covington High School graduate, took things a step further when he was signed to become a featured artist for Jagermeister following a show he performed at W.O. Wrights in Beavercreek. “It’s pretty big, and I didn’t think it would be possible,” Manson said. “Basically with that it means they will help promote you, help promote your shows, your album (and) they make your merchandise for free (thousands of dollars worth of merchandise).

the future, there may be opportunities to get involved in the big tour they sponsor. They do a country tour, and hopefully down the road we get to do that.” The Jagermeister Country Tour has featured acts such as Eric Church and Dierks Bentley in the past. Aaron Lewis headlined the tour over the summer. “Running With The Night” will drop on Oct. 29 and be available on iTunes, Spotify and Amazon. The hard copy of the album will be available on Nov. 1 and will be sold at Manson’s show that
night at Z’s Sports Bar in Piqua. Jagermeister will sponsor the concert, which also will include the winner of CMT’s ‘Next Superstar’ Matt Mason, a signed recording artist for Warner Bros. Records. Tickets will cost $7 and can be purchased the day of the show or by calling Z’s in advance. W.O. Wrights will host a CD release party for Clark on Nov. 9. The opening act for that show will be the Lee Gantt Band,
TROY — The law and ordinance committee heard from Westbrook residents and the Realtor about the former site of the First Church of Christian Scientist building and its future on Tuesday. Chairman John Schweser and committee member Lynne Snee did not recommend the property located at 1509 W. Main Street to be rezoned from office residential district to office commercial.

a group that performed alongside popular country act Dustin Lynch over the summer. Manson has two other tour dates scheduled with Gantt, one in Illinois on Jan. 30 and the other in Wisconsin in February. Manson said he is hopeful to schedule some shows at The Bluestone in Columbus in the near future. Manson spent time in Nashville in the latter stages of June laying down the groundwork for his album. During that time, he worked with producers, engineers and musicians that had credits on albums for Jake Owen, Kacey Musgraves and Kelly Clarkson. He said he hopes to one day be mentioned in the same breath as the Eric Church’s and the Jake Owen’s of the world — and if things continue to go the way they are, Manson may be destined for country music stardom, a concept that is still mind-boggling to the the 22-year old. “I get about 150 direct messages a day on twitter,” Manson said. “I like to look through them to see what they say have to say. I had a girl from Detroit message me the other day asking me about my next show. I ended up hooking her up with VIP passes to the show at W.O.’s “It’s crazy. We have people coming to see us from places like Detroit and Illinois and places like that. I’m just like ‘wow,’ people are driving hours to come see us play a two-hour show.”
requested Miami County Public Health Commissioner Chris Cook to speak about what services the organization provides the city of Troy. According to Cook, the city of Troy provides 11 percent of the department’s entire budget. Cook said 30 percent of the population which is served are Troy residents. Cook said for the funds the city of Troy receives
$790,375 worth of personnel services. Cook said the services include food inspections, public and private pool inspections include hotel pools. The Miami County Public Health also provides prenatal clinics, well child services at its location. Cook said in prior years, many of those services were only found in Montgomery County. The organization also
monitors sewage systems not connected to the city’s lines. “We are making Troy look, feel and smell like a community people want to be in,” Cook said. All three members approved the recommendation to be considered at the next city council meeting on Monday, Oct. 21 at 7 p.m. at city hall.

difference between the two zoning districts is the retail sales designation. Mayor Michael Beamish, one of the Troy Planning Commission members who voted against the rezoning issue, spoke against the rezoning at the meeting as well. At the Troy Planning Commission hearing several weeks ago, only one member of the TPC voted for the rezoning of the property. Webb said she believed a “Walgreens-like facility” would be “beneficial” to the neighborhood and stated she would never recommend a facility to a buyer if she felt the neighborhood would suffer from a new facility. “It could boost the neighborhood,” Webb said, noting as the zoning is state now, a half-
way house could be part of the building use as it currently stands. Webb said the church who still owns the building has drastically dropped its price after being on the market for five years and is unwilling to make expensive improvements such as a $35,000 sprinkler system only to be demolished for future use. Resident Nicole Bevington, who lives adjacent to the church property, spoke out against the rezoning issue once again Tuesday. “This has been turned down twice,” Bevington said. “I feel if this church wanted to keep it as a church then they would have done something more to the property.” Bevington noted the area would have an increase of traffic, noise
and lighting if a drug store was to be built at the church site. John Schweser asked how many children lived in the area. Bevington said many children live in the area and ride their bikes and walk to and from the stores across the street such as the Silver Spoon and Snow Shack. Deb Char, a resident of Westbrook, said the traffic in the neighborhood has already increased due to people trying to avoid the light at Dorset and west Main Street. Char said she is vehemently opposed to the rezoning issue. Judy Caster, a property owner on Croydon, rents a property in the neighborhood to a family who left Vandalia to move to Troy because of the commercial property growth near neighborhoods like
Westbrook. Both Snee and Schweser said they did not recommend approval of the property located at 1509 W. Main St. to be rezoned at the committee meeting. The rezoning of the property will be considered for its third reading at the next city council meeting on Oct. 21. The committee did approve for the rezoning of the property located at 15 N. Kings Chapel to be rezoned from B-2, general business, to M-2 light industrial district at the meeting. Both issues will go for its third reading at the next meeting of city council at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 21 at city hall. The public is invited to attend.
Terrilynn Meece said. Participants in the pumpkin contest are guaranteed a free slice of pizza from Donatos. Ribbons will be awarded for the contest at 7 p.m. People can bring their carved pumpkins to Hayner on Oct. 25 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. or on the day of the festival from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Pumpkin artist Andrew Dailey will give a pumpkin carving demonstration at 6:30 p.m. that evening. Children’s art activities will be held in the art studio from 6:30 to 9 p.m. “Each year we try to grow it more and more,” Meece said. “We try to make it more community oriented. The thing we
have always had going on is the children’s craft program in the art studio. It’s all absolutely free to every child. They can go around to one table after another. The kids can come in and make what they want to make, and adults will be around to help them.” A new edition to this year’s festival will be a community Hootenanny with a musician’s circle on the front porch. The circle will be led by Troy’s own Sugargrove band, a bluegrass group which features Daryl Duncan (guitar), Craig Shaffer (banjo), Ethan Smith (madolin) and Al Turnbull (upright bass). Sugargrove has been around since 2004 and
has performed at venues such as Greenville’s Annie Oakley Festival, the Clifton Opera House and Caesars Creek Pioneer Village. The music circle will be open to everyone. People who plan on participating in the circle are advised to bring their favorite unamped instrument, their favorite song, and to pull up a chair and join in on the fun. The circle is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. “It’s not a performance, but rather an open musicians circle,” Meece explained. “What we want to do is have people bring their acoustic instruments and bring their favorite songs. We’ll go around circle and peo-
ple will play their songs and everybody will jump in and play along with them. “It’s a great community thing to do. People are able to play with people that they may not normally get to play with and maybe get to see people’s different takes on songs.” Jolynn Colebaugh from Whimsical Faces in Troy will also be at the event to paint faces. No registration fees are required for participation and all are invited to attend the event. For more information on the event, visit www. TroyHayner.org or call the center at (937) 3390457.

tation during the morning rush. At least 17 deaths were reported and nearly 50 people were missing. Hardest hit from Typhoon Wipha was Izu Oshima island, which is about 120 kilometers (75 miles) south of Tokyo. Rescuers found 16 bodies, most of them buried by mudslides, police and town officials said. Dozens of homes were destroyed, and about 45 people were missing. A woman from Tokyo died after falling into a river and being washed 10 kilometers (6 miles) downriver to Yokohama, police said. Two sixth-grade boys and another person were missing on Japan’s main island, Honshu, the Fire and Disaster Management Agency said. More than 350 homes were damaged or destroyed, including 283 on Izu Oshima, it said. The typhoon, which
stayed offshore in the Pacific, had sustained winds of 126 kilometers per hour (78 miles per hour), with gusts up to 180 kph (110 mph), before it was downgraded to a tropical storm Wednesday evening. The storm was moving northeast, off the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido. More than 80 centimeters (30 inches) of rain fell on Izu Oshima during a 24-hour period ending Wednesday morning, the most since record-keeping began in 1991. The rainfall was particularly heavy before dawn, the kind in which “you can’t see anything or hear anything,” Japan Meteorological Agency official Yoshiaki Yano said. Izu Oshima is the largest island in the Izu chain southwest of Tokyo. It has one of Japan’s most active volcanoes, Mount Mihara, and is a major base for

vowed to do the utmost to rescue the missing and support the survivors, while trying to restore infrastructure and public services as quickly as possible. Japanese troops were deployed to the island, as well as Tokyo’s “hyper-rescue” police with rescue dogs. As a precaution, the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, crippled by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, released tons of rainwater that were being held behind protective barriers around storage tanks for radioactive water. Tokyo Electric Power Co., the plant’s operator, said only water below an allowable level of radioactivity was released, which Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority allowed Tuesday. During an earlier typhoon in September, rainwater spilled out before it could be tested.

growing camellias. About 8,200 people live on the island, which is accessible by ferry from Tokyo. Yutaka Sagara, a 59-year-old sushi chef on the east coast of the island, said he spent a sleepless night with colleagues at their company housing. Their hillside apartment barely escaped a mudslide that veered off to the side. Later he found out the mudslide crushed several houses as it flowed to the sea. “People on this island are somewhat used to heavy rainstorms, but this typhoon was beyond our imagination,” he said by phone. Sagara came down to his seaside sushi restaurant on foot, wading through knee-deep mud, to check things out and make sushi for rescue workers.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Times, Gainesville, Ga., on space race: An American original passed away last week, a man who was a household name for a generation raised in an era when outer space was brought closer to earth and anything seemed possible. Scott Carpenter, one of NASA’s original Mercury 7 astronauts, died Thursday at age 88. He was the fourth American in space and second to orbit the globe after John Glenn, who at 92 is the only surviving member of the group that included Gordon Cooper, Gus Grissom, Wally Schirra, Alan Shepard and Deke Slayton. Those who read the book or saw the movie “The Right Stuff” know the story of a handful of gutsy, daredevil test pilots who willingly became America’s first guinea pigs in the space race with the Russians. They were “Spam in a can” with no assurances of survival amid the breakneck advancements that hurtled them into the heavens. And in the case of Grissom and many others since, lives were indeed lost in the effort. It was a remarkable time in which a charismatic president welcomed a new era of modern marvels by promising to reach the moon within a decade, a bold challenge considering we had only begun to create the intricate technological systems needed for such a mission. Yet our nation embraced such endeavors, from space travel to selfcleaning ovens, with an eye toward the future. … Fast-forward to today. We now see our nation locked in a death grip of political gridlock, unable to join hands on any issue, much less venture to new worlds. There is no rallying point like the space program to bring us together; our arguments these days are over earth-bound concerns like budgets, health insurance and life’s other necessities. Even then, we have few leaders with the vision to conquer new frontiers, mostly self-serving ideologues eyeballing polls and the next election rather than the cosmos. If the space program was a validation of what we can do as a nation when the people and their leaders unite behind a common goal, today’s standoff in Washington reflects the opposite end of that spectrum. … Godspeed to Astronaut Carpenter and his Mercury pioneers who went before him. They embodied the best of us then, and their brand of courage and daring would be a welcome antidote to our presentday torpor. In fact, a little more of the “right stuff” these days might just be the cure for what ails us. Paris (Tenn.) Post-Intelligencer on not only Congress, America is polarized: America has changed in the last 15 years. We have become more polarized, dividing ourselves into conservative and liberal camps, and hardening the positions we hold. That’s part of what’s making this government gridlock so tough to crack. In 1998, a study shows, about a third of the 226 Republicans in the House of Representatives represented districts that Democrat Bill Clinton won. By 2012, only 17 of the 234 seats won by Republicans also voted for Democrat Barack Obama. Every Republican-held House district in Tennessee voted at least 64 percent for Mitt Romney last year. The change is sharply etched in figures from our own Eighth Congressional District for the last two presidential elections. In 2008, the Republican nominees in the two most recent presidential elections did about 1 percent better in our district than they did in the nation as a whole. But in 2012, the same calculation showed the GOP’s candidates did 19 percent better than the national average, indicating a much more Republican swing. Why is this so? Whatever happened to the melting pot of America? Why do we have so much trouble realizing that our differences strengthen us instead of weakening us? Where did the marketplace of ideas go? If this trend continues, the current government shutdown may be small in comparison with gridlocks to come.
LETTERS The Rec should keep mural To The Editor: I was very disappointed to hear about the repainting of the mural on the side of The Rec. I am thrilled The Rec has received grants to remodel and update, but I think our youth need to know and appreciate the heritage of our city. The canal boat scene depicted on the wall illustrates a vital part of the early
beginnings of our town and I feel with the bicentennial celebration coming up next year it would be a real shame to “update” it. The bricks on the wall needs attention, but I would like to see it repaired and the painting restored, much like the work to preserve the mural on the side of the Mayflower. Please reconsider before this piece of Troy’s history is gone forever. — Susan Moyer Behm Troy

Bullying a problem that still exists in our society The phone call took me back to places — dark, humliating places — that I wasn’t sure I was ready to go back to. But it was a place I needed to go — if for no other reason than to understand how far I’ve come … and maybe let someone else know brighter days are ahead. It was a phone call that took me back more than 25 years in time, to the seventh grade. It took me back to a time when people made fun of my last name and all the words it rhymed with. It transported me to a day in which people thought it was alright to ask questions such as, “So, do you eat rice for dinner every night?” or “Do your parents speak English?” It brought up memories of kids pushing me down in gym class, knocking the books out of my hand when I walked to class and threatening to beat me up after school. I can still hear their taunts in my ears and see a scared, 90-pound kid who didn’t want to go to school in the mornings. I can still see my poor mother sitting next to a scared little boy crying himself to sleep because he knew what the next day of school would bring. That kid was me — and I was bullied in school.

I wanted to tell her there would be people who built up her child’s confidence, made her child a strong adult and that one day all of this would be a distant memory. And I did tell her I would write a column about it, hoping it would raise awareness that this problem still exists. And finally, I told her I would keep her and her child in my thoughts and prayers.

4 dead after boat capsizes off Florida coast MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Ten people were found clinging to the hull of a small boat that capsized early Wednesday in the waters off South Florida, trapping the bodies of four dead women and one survivor struggling to breathe in a tiny pocket of air beneath it. One of the survivors called 911 on a cellphone, alerting authorities to their location seven miles east of Miami. “Sadly, and tragically, we did find four females, adults, underneath the boat that had perished,” said Coast Guard Cmdr. Darren Caprara. The survivor found when Coast Guard officials flipped over the boat was suffering seizures, and he was taken by boat to a Miami Beach hospital, officials said. He was treated and released to federal law enforcement. The rest of the survivors were in good condition and were taken into custody aboard a Coast Guard vessel while authorities investigated whether they were part of a human smuggling operation. It was not immediately clear whether they would be brought to the U.S. or sent back to their home countries. “Well, obviously, 15 people on a boat, transiting in the middle of the night with no life jackets is a very, very unsafe condition,” Caprara said. Caprara said that authorities were working to confirm that the people on the boat were Haitian and Jamaican.
AP Photo U.S Coast Guard personnel investigate a vessel with a missing center console that capsized near Miami, Wednesday. The Coast Guard responded to an early morning call and found nine people clinging to the hull seven miles east of Miami. A 10th person was taken by boat to Miami Beach, where he was treated at a hospital and released, according to Petty Officer Mark Barney. Four women died and 10 other people were taken into custody after the boat with more than a dozen people aboard, including Haitian and Jamaican nationals, capsized. Authorities are investigating whether the victims and survivors were part of a human smuggling operation.
Miami School of Law. In a case earlier this month, hundreds of migrants packed into smugglers’ boats that capsized on their way from Africa to Europe. “It should be no surprise to anyone so long as the disparity between the poorest place in the Western Hemisphere and the richest place in the hemisphere is so grave and the distances covered are considered worth the risk,” Abraham said. M i g ra n t s f ro m Haiti, Cuba and other Caribbean countries routinely attempt to illegally enter the U.S. by reaching Florida’s coast in overloaded or unseaworthy vessels, often through established smuggling networks that include islands in the Bahamas
and Turks and Caicos. In the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, the Coast Guard picked up 508 Haitians and 1,357 Cubans at sea. Since the new fiscal year began Oct. 1, the Coast Guard has reported picking up 93 Haitians and 117 Cubans. Officials in the Caribbean also have reported a jump in the number of arrests of Haitians making their way to Puerto Rico. An increasing number of Haitians have tried that route because if they can reach the U.S. territory without getting arrested, they can fly on to U.S. cities such as Miami, Boston or New York with just a driver’s license or other identification, not a passport.

“That’s still a lengthy process that involves contacting other countries and doing some investigatory research,” Caprara said. The small white recreational boat with its center console missing was towed to dry land. It had been overloaded and lacked lifejackets, Caprara said. It was not immediately clear whether those on the boat that capsized Wednesday were migrants fleeing their home countries. However, the circumstances made it seem likely that they were part of a global phenomenon of people taking desperate risks to escape poverty and instability, said David Abraham, who teaches immigration law at the University of

MIAMI VALLEY — Funds are available to agricultural producers in the Great Miami River, Stillwater River and Mad River watersheds who implement projects that reduce phosphorus and nitrogen from running off land into area streams. Applications for the twelfth round of funding in the Water Quality Credit Trading Program will be accepted until Nov. 22. To participate, farmers upstream of participating wastewater treatment plants work with their county soil and water conservation district to submit project applications. The applications describe the scope and cost of a voluntary new practice they would like to implement and the amount of phosphorus and nitrogen the practice will keep out of local waterways. Both nitrogen and phosphorus are found in fertilizers, manure and sewage. They’re called nutrients because they help plants, including algae, grow. Phosphorus in fertilizers that rain washes off farm fields feeds blooms of bluegreen algae in western Lake Erie and inland lakes across Ohio each summer. The algae produce liver and nerve toxins that can sicken people and animals. The projects will generate “credits” that wastewater treatment plants can use to meet regulatory requirements. Wastewater treatments plants, federal and/or state grants pay for the projects. An advisory committee will review and

Try this delicious broccoli-cauliflower soup recipe This second week of October turned out to be nice and sunny, although mornings are cool. It was a perfect week to catch up on outside work. One evening, my husband Joe and the boys cleared out one of our gardens and tilled it. Joe planned a ground cover crop this year to help replenish the soil. We weren’t used to doing this when we lived in Indiana, but with the soil being so sandy around here, it will help. This year we are trying a winter radish, although not edible, that will help prevent weeds and also replenishes the minerals needed in the soil. Several families in our church district have tried them and had good results. The girls also are raking leaves every chance they get. They are accumulating on the ground faster than they can keep up with our many trees.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The World Food Prize Foundation is confronting both opposition to genetically modified crops and the divisive issue of global warming as it gathers hundreds of experts and national leaders to talk this week about how to feed a growing global population. By awarding this year’s prize to three biotechnology pioneers, the nonprofit
THE AMISH COOK
There are signs of autumn everywhere, including farmers who are starting to harvest their crops. We had some very happy children last night. Minnie, the miniature pony that daughter Susan trained and is also the mother of our miniature pony, Prancer, is ours to keep now. Her owner called and wondered if we would want her. He said we can just have her since Susan trained her and he’s not really set up to
take care of her this winter. The children wanted to go get her right away last night. Grapes are ripening late at the U-pick orchard this year due to the colder weather we’ve had. Tomorrow we plan to go pick grapes to put into juice. We are out of grape juice, so it will be nice to have some on hand again. Cider and popcorn and apples are also a favorite snack around here this time of year. Saturday morning we started out for Berne, Ind. to attend the reunion of my Grandpa and Grandma Graber’s family. My grandparents are both deceased. They have almost 1,400 descendants now. It was a large gathering; I’m guessing more than 1,000 attended. This reunion was held in a large shed at my cousin Dave and Mary Graber’s. They furnished all the grilled chicken for every-
one. We sure appreciated all the bother they went through. It’s not easy getting ready for a crowd that big. The rest of the food was a carry-in. There were casseroles, mashed potatoes, gravy, salads of all types, lots and lots of desserts: cakes, pies, cookies and bars. Lemonade and coffee were served for drinks. There was more than enough food. I took cherry and apple pie but there were many different kinds of pie there. The last time this reunion was held was nine years ago at Uncle Elmer and Aunt Emma’s. We were unable to attend, so it’s been awhile since I’ve seen some of my cousins. I did see a lot of them at the funerals of cousins Dan and Chris in January. Our thoughts went to their families that day thinking of their missing loved ones. Our family went in
two different vans since the 14-passenger vans are harder to schedule. Sisters Verena and Susan rode with Joe and I and the six youngest in a 10-passenger van. Elizabeth, Susan, and their special friends came in a mini-van. Jacob’s oldest daughter Elizabeth also came with them so Jacob’s family could fit in a mini-van. We stopped in at sister Liz and Levi’s on the way home. Liz set out snacks for everyone. We started home around 5 p.m. and arrived home around 7:45 p.m. A long, but enjoyable day! Meanwhile, try this delicious, hearty soup which goes good on some of these chill autumn days coming up!

Van Montagu and Chilton independently developed the technology in the 1980s to stably transfer
foreign genes into plants, which led to creating the means to genetically engineer plants. Fraley genetically engineered the first herbicide-resistant soybean in 1996. “We’re entering the period that Norman Borlaug worried about. We are facing the greatest challenge in human history, whether we can sustainably feed the 9 billion people who will be on our planet by
2050,” foundation president Kenneth Quinn said. Borlaug, the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize laureate awarded for his efforts to fight hunger and boost agricultural production, knew the three recipients, and expressed a wish before his death in 2009 that they be honored, Quinn said. The World Food Prize Foundation relies on corporate, private and gov-
ernment contributions. Among its donors are Monsanto and Syngenta Foundation, and the news that scientists working for those companies drew immediate criticism. “Rather than encouraging sustainable farming and self-sufficiency in impoverished communities as a way to alleviate poverty and malnutrition, the World Food Prize has been ‘won’ by a profiteering, biotech, seed-andchemical monopolist that’s the freakish opposite of sustainability,” former Texas Agriculture Commissioner Jim Hightower wrote on his website Monday. He’s been invited to speak at Wednesday at an event organized by the local Occupy World Food Prize organization. The Occupy group also has planned protests designed to discredit the prize and disrupt the foundation’s activities, which attracts about 1,000 scientists, policy experts, political leaders and business executives each year. Last year, protesters were arrested. This year, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Cardinal Peter K.A. Turkson, president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace at the Vatican, are scheduled to attend the three-day symposium. Thursday’s award ceremony is at the Iowa Capitol. “GMOs and factory farms are destroying Iowa, independent family farmers, and the planet, but the Occupy World Food Prize week of action shows everyday people are standing up and fighting back,” said Larry Ginter, a farmer and a member of Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, a citizen action group that aligns with the Occupy organization. But Quinn said that to provide enough food at a time when drought, floods, and other natural disasters are more frequent, the world’s farmers should have a range of practices, seeds and other tools at their disposal. “Are we really prepared to not have the tools of biotechnology and genetic enhancement available to produce those seeds and other technologies that will allow farmers particularly the small holder, poor farmers deal with these volatile situations?” he said. “To me, they link together.” In addition to biotechnology issues, the foundation has invited experts to take on global warming. Rattan Lal, a professor of soil science at Ohio State University, said agriculture has been a major contributor to climate change through the release of carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere and expanding crop lands through deforestation.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE
For Friday, Oct. 18, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place. Naturally, this provokes conflict with partners and close friends. You might want to bite your tongue. Hmm? TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today's Full Moon might create some tension with co-workers bosses, customers and people you interact with while you're working. Patience is your only ally. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Disputes with others, especially in group situations, might take place today. Your relations with females will be particularly challenging. It's the Full Moon! CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Moon is your ruler, which means you feel every Full Moon. Today, however, the Full Moon makes you feel torn between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your job and external world. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an accident-prone day for you, because of the tension of the Full Moon. An accident doesn't have to happen; however, emotional upsets and distractions could be hazardous. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Double-check financial matters today, especially with banks, because with a Full Moon, something tends to come to a head. ("I have no money!") LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) The only Full Moon directly opposite your sign that occurs all year is taking place today. This is why you might feel tension with others. This is also why you want to hide. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Be patient with co-workers, customers and also with people who might be dealing with health-related issues for you. Today's Full Moon can be exasperating. Chill out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Parents need to be patient with children today because they, too, feel the increased emotionality of the Full Moon. Likewise, romantic partners must be patient with each other. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Do whatever you can to smooth over family troubles today, which are no doubt provoked by the Full Moon tension today. Be tolerant and listen to others. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You have a strong need to communicate to others today; nevertheless, you feel blocked. After the Full Moon peaks today, it will be easier for you to speak. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Money concerns are likely today because of the Full Moon, which might aggravate certain situations. Wait until tomorrow to see how the dust settles. YOU BORN TODAY You are a natural leader and often play an important role in the lives of those around you. You have many interests that you pursue, some of which you will excel at and perfect. You are fun-loving and always attracted to where the action is. You have a fine mind. This year it's possible for you to study or learn something valuable. Look for opportunities to do this.

A deal: Voting to avoid default, open government WASHINGTON (AP) — Up against one last deadline, Congress raced to pass legislation Wednesday avoiding a threatened national default and ending a 16-day partial government shutdown along the strict terms set by President Barack Obama when the twin crises began. “We fought the good fight. We just didn’t win,” conceded House Speaker John Boehner as lawmakers lined up to vote on a bill that fell far short of Republican wishes. A Senate vote was set first on the legislation, which would permit the Treasury to borrow normally through Feb. 7 or perhaps a few weeks longer, and fund the government through Jan. 15. More than two million federal workers — those who had remained on the job and those who had been furloughed — would be paid under the agreement. Across the Capitol, members of the House marked time until their turn came to vote. After weeks of gridlock, the measure had support from the White House, most if not all Democrats in Congress and many Republicans fearful of the economic impact of a default. As a result, there was little or no doubt it would pass both houses and reach the White House in time for Obama’s signature before the administration’s Oct. 17 deadline. That was the day that Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said the Treasury would reach the current $16.7 trillion debt limit, and could no longer borrow to meet its obligations. Tea party-aligned lawmakers who triggered the shutdown that began on Oct. 1 said they would vote against the legislation. Significantly, though, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and others agreed not to use the Senate’s cumbersome 18th century rules to slow the bill’s progress. “The compromise we reached will provide our economy with
AP Photo Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, returns to his office after a meeting with House Republicans at the Capitol in Washington, Wednesday. Earlier, Senate leaders reached a last-minute agreement to avert a threatened Treasury default and reopen the government after a partial, 16-day shutdown.
the stability it desperately needs,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, declaring that the nation “came to the brink of disaster” before sealing an agreement. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, who negotiated the deal with Reid, emphasized that it preserved a round of spending cuts negotiated two years ago with Obama and Democrats. As a result, he said, “government spending (in one major category of programs) has declined for two years in a row” for the first time since the Korean War. “And we’re not going back on this agreement,” he added. McConnell made no mention of the polls showing that the shutdown and flirtation with default have sent Republicans’ public approval plummeting and have left the party badly split nationally as well as in his home state of Kentucky. He received a prompt reminder, though. “When the stakes are highest Mitch McConnell can always be counted on to sell out conservatives,” said Matt Bevin, who is challenging the party leader from the right in a 2014 election primary.
More broadly, national tea party groups and their allies underscored the internal divide. The Club for Growth urged lawmakers to vote against the congressional measure, and said it would factor in the organization’s decision when it decides which candidates to support in midterm elections next year. “There are no significant changes to Obamacare, nothing on the other major entitlements that are racked with trillions in unfunded liabilities, and no meaningful spending cuts either. If this bill passes, Congress will kick the can down the road, yet again,” the group said. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce came out in favor of the bill. Simplicity at the end, there was next to nothing in the agreement beyond authorization for the Treasury to resume borrowing and funding for the government to reopen. House and Senate negotiators are to meet this fall to see if progress is possible on a broad deficit-reduction compromise of the type that has proved elusive in the current era of divided government.
Additionally, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is to be required to produce a report stating that her agency is capable of verifying the incomes of individuals who apply for federal subsidies under the health care law known as Obamacare. Obama had insisted repeatedly he would not pay “ransom” by yielding to Republican demands for significant changes to the health care overhaul in exchange for funding the government and permitting Treasury the borrowing latitude to pay the nation’s bills. Other issues fell by the wayside in a final deal, including a Republican proposal for the suspension of a medical device tax in Obamacare and a Democratic call to delay a fee on companies for everyone who receives health coverage under an employer-sponsored plan. The gradual withering of Republicans’ Obamacarerelated demands defined the arc of the struggle that has occupied virtually all of Congress’ time for the past three weeks. The shutdown began on Oct. 1 after Cruz and his tea party allies in the House demanded the defunding of the health care law as a trade for providing essential government funding. Obama and Reid refused, then refused again and again as Boehner gradually scaled back Republican demands. The shutdown initially idled about 800,000 workers, but that soon fell to about 350,000 after Congress agreed to let furloughed Pentagon employees return to work. While there was widespread inconvenience, the mail was delivered, Medicare continued to pay doctors who treated seniors and there was no interruption in Social Security benefits. Still, national parks were closed to the detriment of tourists and local businesses, government research scientists were sent home and Food and

Drug Administration inspectors worked only sporadically. Obama and Boehner both came to the same conclusion — that they would allow the shutdown to persist for two weeks, until it became politically possible to reopen government and address the threat of default at the same time. As Republican polls sank, Boehner refused to let the House vote on legislation to reopen the entire government, insisting on a piecemeal approach that the White House and Reid rejected as insufficient. As the Oct. 17 debt-limit deadline approached, there were warnings from European officials as well as Cabinet members and bankers in this country that failure to raise the debt limit invited an economic disaster far worse than the near-meltdown of 2008. On Tuesday, the Fitch credit rating agency said it was reviewing its AAA rating on U.S. government debt for possible downgrade. By then, the endgame was underway. Late last week, Obama met with Boehner and House Republicans at the White House. The session resulted in brief follow-up talks in which GOP aides suggested easing the across-the-board spending cuts in exchange for changes in benefit programs such as making Medicare more expensive for better-off beneficiaries. After that faltered, Reid and McConnell announced over the weekend they were seeking a deal to solve the crises, and expressed hope they could quickly come to an agreement. That effort was suspended on Tuesday, a day of suspense in which Boehner made one last stab at a conservatives’ solution. When his rank and file refused to coalesce around any proposal, he gave up and McConnell and Reid returned to their labors.
Deal lifts markets Short-term debt deal won’t but does little for mask big barriers ahead U.S. economy WASHINGTON (AP) — The budget agreement Congress reached Wednesday cheered investors and removed the threat of a catastrophic debt default that could have triggered another recession. Yet the temporary nature of the deal means a cloud will remain over a sluggish U.S. economy that was further slowed by the government’s partial shutdown. Political fights over taxing and spending will persist over the next few months. The risk of another government shutdown and doubts about the government’s borrowing authority remain. Businesses and consumers may still spend and invest at the same cautious pace they have since the Great Recession officially ended more than four years ago. The agreement, expected to be approved by the House and Senate late Wednesday, will reopen the government but only until Jan. 15. The deal would enable the United States to keep borrowing to pay its bills, but not past Feb. 7. The deal followed a two-week shutdown and came a day before a Treasury Department deadline to raise the nation’s $16.7 trillion debt limit. “The good news is that we avoid hitting the debt ceiling and all the risks that entails,” said Joel Prakken, co-founder of Macroeconomic Advisers, a forecasting firm. “The bad news is … this hasn’t produced any clarity. We’re going to be right back at this again after the turn of the year.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hold the champagne. Even after lawmakers complete their pending deal to avert a federal default and fully reopen the government, they are likely to return to their grinding brand of brinkmanship — perhaps repeatedly. Wednesday’s self-congratulations notwithstanding, congressional talks are barely touching the underlying causes of debt-and-spending stalemates that pushed the country close to economic crises in 2011, last December and again this month. At best, lawmakers and the White House will agree to fund the government and raise the debt limit for only a few months. They also will call for yet another bipartisan effort to address the federal debt’s major causes, including restricted revenue growth and entitlement benefits that rise automatically. And yet, top advocates
say they’ve seen virtually no change in the political dynamics that stymied past efforts for a compromise to end the cycle of brinksmanship and threats to harm the economy. Republicans still adamantly oppose tax increases. Powerful interest groups and many Democrats still fiercely oppose cuts in Social Security and Medicare benefits. And congressional rules still tempt lawmakers to threaten economic havoc — by sending the nation into default — if the opposing party doesn’t yield to their demands. “We’re probably going to have to go through this a few more times,” said Bob Bixby of the bipartisan Concord Coalition, which advocates budget reforms. Even if a compromise plan this month wins House, Senate and White House approval, Bixby said, it will leave fundamental problems that “they haven’t done any-
thing to address.” Henry J. Aaron, a Brookings Institution scholar who supports unprecedented legal action to avert future debt showdowns, agreed that three or four months of breathing room is a small victory. “If all we achieve is a repetition of this charade,” Aaron said, “we will not have achieved much.” The political landscape is littered with once-hopeful bipartisan efforts to reach a “grand bargain” — or even a modest bargain — to slow the growth of the nation’s $16.7 trillion debt and to make spending and revenue trends more sustainable. There was the SimpsonBowles plan, first issued in 2010, and revised early this year. The revised version called for about $1.3 trillion in new revenues over 10 years, from various sources (about half the original plan’s target). It would slow the growth rate of Social
Security benefits and raise the eligibility age. It would limit popular tax deductions such as those for charitable gifts and mortgage interest. The Simpson-Bowles plan remains widely praised nationwide, and largely ignored in Congress. Then there were the 2011 secret talks between President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. Boehner suggested $800 billion in new revenues over 10 years — less than Obama wanted — in exchange for widespread spending cuts, including curbs on Medicare and Social Security. It was never clear whether Obama could have pushed the plan through the Democratic-controlled Senate. It didn’t matter, because Boehner’s GOP colleagues vehemently objected when details leaked, and the talks collapsed. Efforts last year to revive negotiations also failed.
Obama health target: 500,000 signups by Oct. 31 WASHINGTON (AP) — For the first month alone, the Obama administration projected that nearly a half million people would sign up for the new health insurance markets, according to an internal memo obtained by The Associated Press. But that was before the markets opened to a cascade of computer problems. If the glitches persist and frustrated consumers give up trying, that initial goal, described as modest in the memo, could slip out of reach. The Sept. 5 memo, for Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, lists monthly enrollment targets for each state and Washington, D.C., through March 31, the last day of the initial open enrollment period under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. The new online insurance markets, called exchanges in some states, are supposed to be the portals to coverage for most of the nation’s nearly 50 million uninsured people. Middle-class
people without job-based coverage can shop for subsidized private plans, while low-income people are steered to an expanded version of Medicaid in states that have agreed to expand that safety net program. Although the Oct. 1 launch of the markets was a top priority for the White House, the rollout was quickly overwhelmed by computer problems, and many potential customers still have not been able to enroll. Insurers say signups are coming through, but slowly. The administration has refused to release enrollment numbers. A surge of interest by consumers going online appeared to trigger the problems, which also seem to involve underlying software flaws and design shortcomings undetected or overlooked in testing. The administration is holding the explanation close, while working feverishly to fix the glitches — with incomplete results so far. In Cincinnati on Wednesday, Sebelius urged Americans to keep coming back to
healthcare.gov if they can’t get through. “Prices don’t change and the product doesn’t run out,” she said. In the memo, officials estimated that 494,620 people would sign up for health insurance under the program by Oct. 31. And that was portrayed as a slow start. “We expect enrollment in the initial months to be low,” said the memo titled “Projected Monthly Enrollment Targets for Health Insurance Marketplaces in 2014.” A big jump was expected after Thanksgiving, since Dec. 15 is the last day people can sign up so their coverage will take effect Jan. 1. Starting in the new year, the health care law requires virtually all Americans to have insurance or face fines. At the same time, insurance companies will be forbidden from turning away people in poor health. The memo projected enrollment would reach 3.3 million nationally by Dec. 31.
Signups were expected to spike again in March, as procrastinators noticed the approaching end of open enrollment season. “We anticipate a surge of enrollment in December and March,” the memo said. By the end of March, total enrollment through the markets was expected to surpass 7 million, an estimate originally from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office and then used by the administration as the foundation for its projections. “These numbers are one projection of how the CBO’s estimate of 7 million enrollees in year one could break down,” HHS spokeswoman Joanne Peters said in a statement. “Projections are constantly changing based on experience. We are focused on reaching as many people as possible in each state.” The Obama administration has promised enrollment numbers by the middle of next month for the 36 states where the federal government is taking the lead in running the markets.

Muslim Brotherhood’s cohesion is also its pitfall GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — On the day of his induction, Baraa Rantisi was told to wait near a mosque. At the appointed time, a white car drove up. Baraa and the driver exchanged passwords — the name and nickname of an early Muslim leader — and Baraa got in. Then a man in a sparsely furnished room instructed Baraa and two other recruits on the values of Islam. Baraa placed his hand on the Quran, the Muslim holy book, and swore “unwavering loyalty and obedience.” With that oath 10 years ago, Baraa joined the Muslim Brotherhood, an exclusive movement that sees itself on a divine mission to establish Islamic rule. The story of Baraa, 24, and his extended family shows how the Brotherhood’s cohesion and discipline have built it up into a successful movement that seized power in the Arab Spring. But some argue that the same closeness and authoritarian nature has worked against the Brotherhood, which now faces challenges in Egypt, Gaza and Tunisia. “They fail to make the transition from a closed organization into an open and broad-based transparent government,” said Fawaz A. Gerges of the London School of Economics. “They behaved, while in government, exactly as they behave internally.” Over several months, AP reporters had rare access to the Rantisis, a Brotherhood family that is perhaps the closest thing to a political dynasty in the movement in Gaza. Baraa’s father Mohammed, his mother Kifah and some of his siblings, uncles and cousins

AP Photo In this Tuesday, June 25 photo, Dr. Salah Rantisi, left, listens to a nurse at the baby test room at Khan Younis government clinic during an Interview in Khan Younis Refugee Camp, southern Gaza Strip. On the day of his induction, Baraa Rantisi, Salah’s nephew, was told to wait near a mosque. A white car drove up. Secret passwords were exchanged. And then he was sworn into the Muslim Brotherhood, an exclusive movement that sees itself on a divine mission to establish Islamic rule. AP reporters got rare access to the Rantisi family, the closest thing to a royal clan in the Brotherhood in Gaza, at a time when the movement is under siege throughout the region.
are Brotherhood members. The movement forms the core of their lives. It was the Brotherhood that selected devout Kifah from a wealthy family to marry Mohammed, now 55. It also gave him $2,000 to set up a clinic. In return, the orthopedic surgeon treated patients for free at a local mosque and paid 2.5 percent of his salary in monthly dues. The Rantisis reflect the basic recruitment principles of the Brotherhood: Family and religion. The neighborhood mosque serves as a base. From there, Brothers coach football, organize trips and tutor students for free while scrutinizing potential recruits, said Baraa’s uncle Nabhan, 58, a former recruitment chief. Smokers and slackers are disqualified. The most dedicated mosque regulars are offered try-outs,
where they must perform their five daily prayers at the mosque and discuss religious books assigned to them. They must also score at least 70 out of 100 on written and oral exams: Nabhan said the failure rate during his tenure was 10 percent. Probation is up to three years. Baraa’s uncle Salah, 52, a gynecologist, is a supervisor in charge of about 500 Brothers, who decides how to spend the monthly membership dues. One member recently got 300 shekels ($84) toward his university tuition, and another $200 toward wedding expenses. Hamas, the Brotherhood branch that has ruled Gaza since 2007, is unique in the global movement because of its violent struggle against Israel, but it adheres to the organization’s principles. As in Egypt, the
Brothers in Gaza have built a network of clinics, kindergartens, schools and welfare programs. The Brotherhood extends from North America to Bangladesh. Brothers in Qatar, Turkey, Malaysia and other countries offer scholarships to Gaza students, such as Salah’s son Mohammed, who is studying medicine in Tunisia. Despite its close-knit nature, the Brotherhood — along with the Rantisi household — is now split over direction, amid a crisis of power in Egypt and its spillover into Gaza. Former president and Brotherhood leader Mohammad Morsi of Egypt was ousted in a July coup. Hamas, meanwhile, is losing millions because Egypt’s military has largely closed smuggling routes to Gaza. For embattled Brothers, the biggest question is how tolerant they should be in power.
Syria rebel video claims new split in opposition BEIRUT (AP) — Several dozen rebel groups in southern Syria have broken with the main political opposition group in exile, a local commander said in a video posted Wednesday, dealing a potential new setback to Western efforts to unify moderates battling President Bashar Assad’s regime. The Turkey-based Syrian National Coalition, the political arm of the Free Syrian Army rebel group, has long struggled to win respect and recognition from the fighters. It is widely seen as cut off from events on the ground and ineffective in funneling aid and weapons to the rebels. In the video, a rebel in military fatigues read a statement with about two dozen fighters standing behind him, some holding a banner with FSA emblems. FSA spokesman Louay Mikdad told The Associated Press that the video is authentic and identified the man speaking as a captain in one of the rebel groups, Anwar al-Sunna, which posted the video. The rebel in the video said political opposition leaders have failed to represent those trying to bring down Assad. “We announce that we withdraw our recognition from any political group that claims to represents us, first among them the Coalition and its leadership which have relinquished the principles of the homeland and the revolution,” he said. He named 66 groups that he said support his statement. The man suggested rebel groups would reorganize, saying that “we are unifying the forces of the revolution militarily and politically,” but did not explain further. It could not be confirmed independently if all the groups named in the video support the statement. Noah Bonsey, an expert on Syrian rebels at the International Crisis Group think tank, said one of the larger groups named in the video did not post the statement on its Facebook page.
Nevertheless, Louay Mikdad, an FSA spokesman, said the video should serve as a wakeup call to the Coalition. “We respect what they (the rebels) are saying,” he said. “We think our brothers in the Coalition … should listen to the people inside and they should open a direct dialogue with them.” He said the FSA commander, Gen. Salim Idris, would try to speak to some of the groups named in the video. Coalition spokesman Khaled Saleh did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment. Hundreds of groups of fighters operate in Syria, often with considerable local autonomy, and shifting alliances are common in a chaotic battlefield. Last month, nearly a dozen of Syria’s more powerful rebel factions broke with the Coalition and called for Islamic law in the country, cementing the rift between rival camps. Rebel groups with a strong Islamic orientation, from moderates to hardliners, “appear to be aligning themselves politically, much more closely than they have previously,” said Charles Lister, an analyst at IHS Jane’s Terrorism and Insurgency Center. The groups named Wednesday appear largely local and less influential than those which broke away from the Coalition in September, Lister said. Mikdad said they include rebel groups from the southern Daraa provinces and the rural areas around the capital, Damascus. Southern Syria has been considered a stronghold of the moderate opposition, while Islamic extremists, including those linked to alQaida, seem to be spreading their influence in the north and east. The latest apparent setback for the Coalition comes at a time when it’s trying to decide whether to attend negotiations with the regime on a
political transition. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Wednesday that the U.N., the U.S. and Russia are “intensifying efforts” to start such talks in Geneva in mid-November. The main faction in the Coalition has said it has no faith in such talks and won’t attend, though a final decision isn’t expected until next week. Syrian opposition leaders are particularly upset about the international community’s decision to treat the Assad regime as a partner in dismantling Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile. The disarmament mission grew out of deadly Aug. 21 attacks with chemical weapons on rebel-held suburbs of Damascus. The West holds the regime responsible, while the Assad regime blames the rebels. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons said Wednesday that its inspectors have so far visited 11 of more than 20 sites linked to the chemical weapons program. The team destroyed “critical equipment” at six sites as well as unloaded chemical weapons munitions, said the OPCW. A joint OPCW-U.N. mission is to eliminate Syria’s chemical weapons, precursor chemicals and production facilities by mid-2014. Ban on Wednesday named a chief for the mission, appointing Sigrid Kaag, a Mideast expert and Arabic speaker from the Netherlands. The team began operating in Syria at the beginning of October, and by last week, had visited two sites. Wednesday’s update signaled significant progress in the team’s work. The inspectors are being asked to complete a first round of site visits by the end of October, including verifying inventory and rendering production, mixing and filling facilities unusable. The next phase, eliminating chemical agents, would begin after Nov. 1.

TROY — While watching his younger brother Ryan play for the University of South Carolina in the Southeastern Conference, Scot Brewer got a chance to witness some of the best young football players in the nation. Friday night, the Troy football coach and his team will have to figure out a way to stop some of the best young football players in the nation. Troy, 2-5 (0-2 in the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division) takes on state power Trotwood-Madison (4-2, 2-0) Friday. The Rams — who won a Division II state title two years ago and finished as the Division II state runner-up last year — returns a host of future Division I college players.
“They’re good,” Brewer said. “They’ve got speed. They’ve got good backs. They’ve got a huge line. They are all over 300 pounds across the offensive line. Their defensive line averages about 250 pounds and they are all about 6-foot-4. They are second overall in the GWOC in defense and third overall in the GWOC in defense. They are no joke. We’ve got to try to go out and shock the world.” In the senior class alone, nine Trotwood players currently are being looked at by Division I colleges. Running back Ashton Jackson has offers from Buffalo and Central Michigan. Ryan Reese, a 6-foot-1, 308-pound defensive tackle, has offers from Ball State, Illinois, Kent State, Kentucky and

Eagles back in action this week As the dust from last week’s CovingtonMiami East matchp settles and the playoff races truly begin to take shape, the Troy Christian Eagles return to the field after two straight bye weeks to face a team on a six-game winning streak. Can the Eagles prove once and for all that they’re back? Can the Vikings bounce back? Can Milton-Union and Bradford get their first wins? See Page 14

Miami East attempts, forcing Troy Christian’s fifth shooter to make his to keep the game going. But that shot went wide right, and the 10th-seeded Vikings celebrated a 3-2 victory over the seventh-seeded Eagles Wednesday night at Eagle Stadium in the first round of the Division III boys soccer sectional, advancing in the tournament and earning some redemption in the process. “Absolutely,” Miami East coach Adam Bell said. “That first game, we were ill-prepared, and that was my fault. But we never quit, and we never stopped working and trying to get better.” Troy Christian took control early, with Jon
CENTERVILLE — It may seem like a lot to ask of a sophomore. But Lauren Freed is no ordinary sophomore. After an injury to senior middle Jillian Ross in the second set demoralized the alreadystruggling Trojans, they ended up falling behind 2-1 to seventh-seeded Northmont in the second round of the Division I Centerville sectional volleyball tournament. But Freed — the recently-named Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division Player of the Year — put the Trojans on her back and led them to a five-set victory Wednesday night, 25-18, 22-25, 21-25, 25-16, 15-11. “I just told Lauren that she was going to have to carry us,” Troy coach Michelle Owen said. “Everyone on the team follows her lead. Her play and her demeanor influences everyone else. I told her she’d have to carry us — and she blew up.” Freed finished with 26 kills on the night to lead the way, what Owen thought was a singlematch Troy High School record. “She showed why she’s the GWOC North Player of the Year tonight,” Owen said. Fourth-seeded Troy (16-8) started out the night with a 25-18 win, but they were still struggling to put it all together. And once Ross went down in Game 2, those struggles became more pronounced “It was just our confidence,” Owen said. “Their (Northmont’s) best players are their middles, and we were already struggling to contain them. We weren’t passing well, we weren’t serving well, and then our senior

TROY — Miami East wasn’t thinking about the 2-0 loss to Troy Christian on the same field earlier this season. Or even the two-goal lead that the Eagles built Wednesday night. Because once the game reached penalty kicks, the Vikings knew anything could happen — and they made it happen. Brandon Kirk cashed in the fourth of five
No. 4 Trojans take care of No. 19 Middletown Staff Reports
WHAT’S INSIDE

TROY — Sometimes it’s just not as easy as the seeding makes it look. Or maybe a wake-up call is just needed every once in a while. No 19 Middletown drew first blood against the heavily-favored Troy Trojans Wednesday night in the first round of the Division I sectional boys soccer tournament, taking an early 1-0 lead. But then Troy (12-2-3) remembered that it was the No. 4 seed and ran off five unanswered goals to walk away with a 5-1 victory at Troy Memorial Stadium. Nick Kleptz scored an unassisted goal to tie the game, the Johan Trotter scored a pair of goals — one assist by Kleptz and the other by Adam Witmer — to put Troy in the driver’s seat at 3-1 heading into halftime. Jake Diffenderfer then added some extra insurance early in the second half with an assist from Witmer, and Kleptz scored again
with an assist from Cam Schultz to put the game away. Troy hosts No. 12 Fairborn Saturday night. • Division II Tippecanoe 1, Northwestern 0 TIPP CITY — Even though his Tippecanoe Red Devils won and advanced in the Division II sectional, coach Scott Downing had reason to be frustrated. Tippecanoe’s Austin Law was the only person to find the back of the net Wednesday as the No. 2 Red Devils squeaked past No. 10 Northwestern 1-0 at Tipp City Park despite dominating play all game long. “Probably about 50 shots, 10 corner kicks and I don’t know how many balls crossed in,” Downing said. “We just really struggled to finish tonight.” Tippecanoe (12-3-2) will get another chance Saturday, hosting No. 8 Greenville in the second round.
• Division III Bethel 3, Brookville 1 BRANDT — No. 9 Brookville gave Bethel a battle Wednesday night, but in the end the No. 5 Bees (12-3-2) ousted the Blue Devils 3-1 to open the Division III sectional tournament. “It was a very physical game,” Bethel coach Bob Hamlin said. “There were a lot of fouls, and it was a very aggressive match. But it was a very good match, and a good win.” After a scorless first half, Carlos Panzardi scored to put the Bees up — but Brookville quickly tied things up again. Nick Wanamaker gave Bethel the lead for good, though, and Evan Hawthorn added an insurance goal. Brandon Swank and Tyler Banks each had an assist in the game. Bethel hosts Lehman Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. Compiled and written by Josh Brown.

Playoff races taking shape heading into Week 8 Josh Brown
Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com
Where do you go after handing two straight opponents their first loss of the season? Spoiling another playoff contender’s week seems like a good idea. Covington stayed perfect last week at 7-0 — 6-0 in the Cross County Conference — with a telling 34-0 victory over then-undefeated Miami East, which was at the time the No. 1 team in the Division VI, Region 22 computer standings. The week before, the Buccaneers beat then 5-0 Tri-County North 22-14 — which, at that time, was also the No. 1 team in D-VI, Region 22. Friday night, Covington returns home to host 5-2, 4-2 Twin Valley South — and the Panthers are in big trouble. They are currently on the outside of the D-VI, Region 22 playoff picture in 11th, with a loss to 6-1 National Trail and a bad loss to 3-4 Arcanum on its mark. As many points as a win over
the Buccs would be worth to Twin Valley South … yeah, that’s just not going to happen. South needed nine fourth-quarter points to rally past Bethel last week — and Covington is another level entirely. And in Week 9, the Buccs will play, and likely rout, National Trail — which is also in the D-VI, Region 22 playoff picture. Making Covington — which moved up to third place in Division VII, Region 26 — the sworn enemy of an entire region. Someone wake the Buccs up in Week 11. That’s the next time they’ll need to be awake to win. • Miami East (6-1, 5-1) at TC North (6-1, 5-1) Miami East and TriCounty North share one thing in common — their only losses are to Covington. Don’t expect any bonding over common ground to go on this weekend, though. Both are looking to prove themselves and maybe earn a home play-
off game in the process. It’s no secret that the three teams are the class of the CCC. So with Covington firmly planted in first place, the Vikings and Panthers are both fighting not for league standings anymore, but for computer points in D-VI, Region 22. Miami East fell to fifth after its loss to Covington, while Tri-County North is currently in sixth. This game will be worth more points than any other game either team plays the rest of the year, meaning its their best chance to wrap up a top-four spot for a home game. • Tippecanoe (7-0, 2-0) at Tecumseh (3-4, 1-1) It’d be easy to call the Red Devils’ game at Tecumseh their biggest of the season so far — but given the fact that none of the opponents on Tippecanoe’s schedule currently owns a winning record except the final two, that’s not a big leap. Tecumseh is a confusing team, though. The Arrows have no
wins against teams with winning records, but they gave undefeated Springfield Shawnee a battle in Week 7 and ended up losing 27-20. While it’s a mystery which Tecumseh team will show up, though, the Red Devils have been themselves all season no matter who they’ve played — a good football team that doesn’t hurt itself and makes its opponents make mistakes. • National Trail (6-1, 5-1) at Bethel (2-5, 2-4) Bethel was on the verge of a big upset last week, holding a 7-6 lead over Twin Valley South until the final quarter. The Bees get another shot at a D-VI, Region 22 playoff contender/pretender this week against National Trail, currently the No. 7 team in that region. This could be the Bees’ first step on the path to .500 this season. • Arcanum (3-4, 2-4) at Bradford (0-7, 0-6) Bradford is one of three winless teams in Division VII, Region 26, along with
Aiken and Springfield Catholic Central. This week the Railroaders host Arcanum, which owns a win over Twin Valley South. Bradford may be looking at waiting until Week 10 for a shot at its first/only win. • Milton-Union (0-7, 0-3) at Dixie (2-5, 2-1) Speaking of looking for their first win, the MiltonUnion Bulldogs travel to Dixie this week — which owns a win over Preble Shawnee, the team the Bulldogs lost to in Week 7. The Greyhounds also are coming off a 21-20 win over Northridge last week, meaning they’ve got some momentum. The longer Milton-Union goes without a win, the harder it gets to get one. • Piqua (2-5, 1-1) at Greenville (1-6, 0-2) Piqua ended its fivegame losing streak last week against Sidney, then 4-2, and now they’re heading to 1-6 Greenville. First winning streak of the year? Seems highly probable. • Ridgemont (2-5,
0-3) at Lehman (6-1, 3-0) Now that Lehman — now No. 4 in the D-VII, Region 26 playoff standings — has knocked off Fort Loramie, its path to a 9-1 season is wide open. Their remaining opponents have a combined record of 7-14. Home game in Week 11, here the Cavaliers come. • Middletown Christian (6-1) at Troy Christian (3-2) After not even having a football team last year, it’s hard to consider 3-2 Troy Christian as anything but a success story. And now the Eagles are coming off of two straight bye weeks to face a solid test in 6-1 Middletown Christian — which hasn’t lost since Week 1. If the Eagles can perform Friday night and get another win, they will leave no question as to whether or not Troy Christian football is back. Be sure to follow @TroyDailySports on Twitter for live updates from Friday night’s featured games. This week: Troy at Trotwood and Middletown Christian at Troy Christian.
Distance From page 12 Troy Christian took control early, with Jon Slone flipping the ball over Miami East keeper Ethan Remy’s head and to the open side of the goal, where Brendan Pohle finished off the play to give the Eagles a 1-0 lead with 28:14 left in the half. Logan George — making his return in goal for Troy Christian after an injury — withstood a Miami East counterattack over the next seven minutes. He made a diving save on a shot by Colton Holicki, then he intercepted a pair of crosses and cut off a corner kick at the 21-minute mark — the last time the Vikings would be on the attack until the middle of the second half. Patrick Canavan gave the Eagles the insurance they needed 2:14 into the second half, cleanly heading in a corner kick by Pohle to make it a 2-0 game. Miami East began regaining momentum, though, and with 27:05 left in regulation the Vikings jumped on a loose ball in front of the Troy Christian net and cut the lead in half, 2-1. Troy Christian countered with a free kick-header combo that actually made it past Remy and appeared to be heading into the goal, but it rolled too slowly and Miami East defender Brendan Clawson came out of nowhere to knock it clear — giving the Vikings even more momentum. “It really did,” Bell said. “That was definitely a turning point in the game.” And with 19:17 to go,
the Vikings turned that into a game-tying goal. A ball sent in from midfield made its way through the Eagle defense and under a sliding keeper trying to cover it, and Devyn Carson tapped it into the open net to tie it at 2-2. The Vikings had more chances in regulation to put it away, but they couldn’t cash in and the game headed into two scoreless overtimes. “We started out strong in the first half, but then they got a goal and took a 2-0 lead early in the second half,” Bell said. “But we came out in the second half and turned it up. Our communication was better, our touches were better and our vision was better. “We had some injuries that we had to work through, too, but we had guys stepping up filling those roles.” Colton Holicki started off the penalty kicks with a goal, and Canavan answered. Carson kept things going with another goal, but the next Eagle shooter hit the right post and missed. George stuffed the next Viking, though, and Chris Dickens put things back even with a score. East’s Seth Volsard and Troy Christian’s Pohle scored to keep the shootout at 3-3 heading into the final duo. Kirk scored, the Eagles couldn’t and the Vikings celebrated. Troy Christian’s season ended at 10-3-3, while the 11-6 Vikings move on to host No. 12 Botkins on Saturday.

Player
From page 12 Defensive end Verondtae Wilkinson has offers Bowling Green, Buffalo, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Toledo. In its junior class, Trotwood has six players who are starting to receive college offers. Defensive back Kei Beckham already has offers from Akron, Central Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota and Western Michigan. Sophomore quarterback Messiah DeWeaver already holds a scholarship from Louisville. Even freshman receiver Ravon Garrett already is on the radar of college coaches. “They are the real deal,” Brewer said. “We know that going in.” Going in, Brewer said he also knows what to expect to see from the Rams on defense. “Defensively, we are going to see bear, bear, bear … and more bear,” he said. “They are going to put guys in the box, play tight man coverage and dare us to beat them. And with the skill their defensive backs have, they can do that. We’ve got to try to find a way to beat them.” Offensively, the Rams are less predictable, Brewer said. “They can do two different things,” Brewer said. “They line up with their two backs and they can pound the ball at you, but they can also spread you
From page 12 out and throw the ball all over the field. And they don’t have to use just one or two guys. None of their running backs have huge amounts of yards because they’ve got so many guys who can run the ball and they can throw to any of their receivers. They are probably the most-balanced team I’ve ever seen.” The numbers bear Brewer out. Through six games, the Rams are rushing for 215.8 yards per game and throwing for 198.7 yards per game. DeWeaver has completed 47 of 85 passes for 782 yards with six touchdowns and two interceptions. Jackson has 61 carries for 657 yards and seven touchdowns, but four other Trotwood players are in the top 20 in rushing yards in the GWOC North. Demarcus Wilson leads the Rams in receiving with 13 catches for 277 yards and two touchdowns, but two other Rams, Ryan Lucas and Kendric Mallory, are in the top 10 in receiving yards in the GWOC. All told, it won’t be an easy challenge for the Trojans Friday — but its one from which they aren’t backing down, either. “They put their pants on one leg at a time, just like we do,” Brewer said. “They are still high school kids. We’ve got to go out and play a mistake-free football game.”
goes down. It just rattled the girls. “I put Drezanee Smith in, and she did well. We prepared in practice for Northmont’s middles all week, and she got just as many reps as Jill and Katie (DeMeo) did. We didn’t lose anything we would’ve had with Jill on the floor — just our confidence. But once we got on the right track, everything started clicking and Northmont started making mistakes.” Troy advances to face No. 2 Beavercreek — which has defeated the Trojans twice this season — at 7:30 p.m. Saturday night in the sectional championship match. • Division IV Bradford 3, Ansonia 2 TIPP CITY — No. 12 Bradford fought back from losing the first game, then rebounded after missing a chance to put the match away in the fourth, finishing off No. 13 Ansonia in five, 14-25, 25-23, 25-13, 10-25, 15-9 Wednesday night in
the Division IV Tippecanoe sectional. Bradford advances to face top-seeded Fort Loramie Monday for the sectional championship. Lehman 3, TC 2 TROY — The third-seeded Lehman Cavaliers had little trouble with No. 25 Troy Christian Wednesday, winning 25-2, 25-11, 25-8 to advance in the Division IV Troy sectional. Lehman will face No. 9 Tri-Village in Saturday’s sectional title game. Tri-Village 3, Bethel 2 TROY — The 19th-seeded Bethel Bees fought hard after falling behind by two games Wednesday against TriVillage, but in the end the ninth-seeded Patriots won in four, 25-18, 25-21, 19-25, 26-24 to advance to the Division IV Troy sectional championship game. Tri-Village will face No. 3 Lehman Saturday. Compiled and written by Josh Brown.
