The man who robbed the New Carlisle Federal Savings Bank in Tipp City on Sept. 13 was caught Tuesday in Illinois.

Carl Frederick Kieffer, a jobless Washington state restaurant worker claiming more than $600,000 in hospital bills, robbed at least six banks in four states before being captured, according to federal investigators.

TROY — Miami County Commissioners addressed elected officials and area business leaders Wednesday at the Troy Country Club during the annual State of the County address as they updated those in attendance with news on completed and ongoing projects.

Commission President Richard Cultice began by providing an update with the ongoing issues at the county’s Anthony Weber | Troy Daily News incarceration facility, which recently reopened its doors Operating Room Manager Kim Stump explains a da Vinci surgical system Wednesday during an Open House at UVMC in Troy. and one pod, and the downtown jail, which the health department partially shut down over growing health concerns.

UVMC adds robot-assisted surgery

Public gets hands-on introduction to system Melody Vallieu

Staff Writer mvallieu@civitasmedia.com

Upper Valley Medical Center staff introduced a state-of-the-art surgery technique to the public Wednesday afternoon during an open house.

The new da Vinci Si surgical system will offer robot-assisted surgery in the UVMC surgery department beginning in November.

The new system provides sophisticated robotic technology and offers a minimally invasive option for certain types of surgery.

UVMC Director of Surgery Terry Fry said the staff is excited to introduce the technology to patients, beginning with hysterectomies.

She said hospitals the size of UVMC generally do not have this type of equipment — it will be the only robotic surgery unit between Dayton and Lima.

“We are very proud,” Fry said.

“Essentially, it’s the newest technology. It will help with the patients recovery time,” Fry said.

Dr. Sergio Vignali, one of four surgeons trained and certified to use the da Vinci Si surgical system, said he used the system in

Dayton, and is looking forward to having the robot-assisted surgery at UVMC. He said patients needing a hysterectomy will reap the rewards of the new system.

“I think it is very beneficial to our patients,” Dr. Vignali said.

“The recovery time is faster and there is less blood loss.”

He said hysterectomy patients that have the surgery using the da Vinci Si surgical system generally leave the hospital the next day. Patients also can return to work and normal activity within two weeks of the surgery, instead of four to six weeks later, See SURGERY | 2

Make A Difference

Troy residents invited to help others during national event

TROY —People from across the U.S. will come together Saturday to help others — and Troy residents are invited to help make a differnce.

Library levy on ballot Colin Foster

Staff Writer colinfoster@civitasmedia.com

TROY — The upcoming levy vote for the Troy-Miami County Public Library is something that will keep the library going.

According to Troy-Miami County Public Library Director Rachelle Miller, if the levy didn’t pass, it would be hard for the library to operate.

“It’s a third of our budget, so basically it means everything,” Troy-Miami County Public Library Director Rachelle Miller said. “We use it for operating, expenses and capital projects.”

But based on the support the library has received from the community in the past, Miller is confident the levy will pass once again.

“We’ve always had really good support from the community,” she explained. “The last time it was on the ballot, it was passed overwhelmingly. We hope people continue to support us, and that they have seen the improvements we have continued to make.”

The first year the Troy-Miami County Public Library levy was on the ballot was in 2009. It is a 6-mill renewal for a continuous term.

Since the levy is a renewal, there will be no additional taxes collected.

Voting will start Nov. 5. Early voting, however, is available at the Miami County Board of Elections.

The car later was found abandoned in a cornfield, about a quarter mile from where the 6-foot3, 180-pound Kieffer was arrested after a manhunt involving dozens of law enforcers and an Illinois State Police airplane. A “wad� of cash was found in his pocket, Cook wrote.

Kieffer later waived his right to be represented by an attorney and gave a statement to Cook, telling the FBI agent he had robbed six banks elsewhere. Court documents show he’s a suspect in other robberies in Novi and Charlotte, Mich.; Bolivar, Ohio; Lusk, Wyo.; and Farmersville, Ill., as well as the Tipp City robbery. “The FBI has been very nice to me,� the Belleville (Ill.) News-Democrat quoted Kieffer as telling the magistrate judge during Wednesday’s court appearance.

In a financial affidavit filed with the court, Kieffer wrote that he last worked in August for a Jack in the Box restaurant in Spokane, where he earned $900 a month.

Kieffer said his debts included $480,000 to one hospital and $120,000 to another, though he did not specify his health issues. — The Associated Press contributed to this story

was annexed to the city of Troy in 2001. The proposed rezoning area also is located in the Miami East Local School District.

The proposed 125 acres of land is the northeast most parcel of what was once part of the proposed Honey Creek Development, which was proposed for rezoning and turned down in 2007.

In 2011, the ordinance (0-2-2011) zoned 47 acres along the west side of Piqua-Troy Road as OC-1, for office/commercial uses, and the balance of the 241 acres as AR, agriculture/ residential. The 288 acres is north of the intersection of Piqua-Troy and Troy Urbana roads.

The proposed rezoning

issue wants to rezone 125 acres of the 288 acres of the original parcel which was rezoned in the 2011 ordinance north of Troy-Urbana Road to DeWeese Road.

At the Troy Planning Commission meeting, the commission unanimously voted not to hold its own public hearing for the rezoning of the proposed 125 acres of land from A-R Agricultural Residential District to be rezoned to R-1 Single-Family Residential District.

The commission also unanimously recommend its approval of the rezoning issue. The rezoning issue will be present to the members of city council. City council will have a public hearing of the rezoning

according to Dr. Vignali.

There are many benefits to the surgeon, as well, he said.

The da Vinci system features an enhanced vision system and tiny wristed instruments that bend and rotate far greater than the human wrist. “We can have more wrist motion and can reach and see more,� said Dr. Vignali, who said technology continues to advance with the system each year.

Future uses of the system will include surgeries in the area of urology, thoracic, other gynecological services and general surgery, according to Fry. Joan and Hugh Gunn of Beavercreek attended Wednesday’s open house to see the equipment used in her July 15 procedure at Miami Valley Hospital, also in the Premier Health network. The da Vinci Si

surgical system was used to remove three carcinoid tumors from the middle lobe of Joan Gunn’s right lung. She said since being a patient, she had not seen the system that helped save her life and had heard about the open house at UVMC. Joan Gunn said she sought out a surgeon in Dayton specifically because of his use of the system. She had places to go. Her granddaughter was getting married in New Orleans on Sept. 15 — only two months after the surgery — and the couple wanted to be able to make the trip. “We made it,� she said enthusiastically.

Joan Gunn said the surgery was much less invasive than if she had went the normal route. “Instead of a huge incision, like 10 inches, it

was much, much smaller,� said Joan Gunn, who also returned to a favorite past time bowling on Wednesday. “There was

said, and that’s even before factoring in the Gentleman of the Road tour. It will take about another month for those figures to be released. “We’re hoping that will help keep our numbers up and that makes us very happy,� Evans said.

Even better, Evans added, is that this is the third straight year Miami County is operating in the black with the budget.

Evans noted that recent county unemployment figures show a 7.2 percent unemployment rate, which is about on par with state unemployment rates.

Hopefully helping to lower that percentage even more is a number of new businesses in the county, including Abbott Laboratories in Tipp City, Industrial Spring in Piqua and Crown Equipment in Troy, which cumulatively

has added more than 325 jobs to the area. Additionally, a number of companies in the county have underwent major additions and as a result are also creating new jobs. “We are adding more jobs with companies,� Evans said. “Keeping what you have is just as important as adding to it.�

Evans ended his marks the same way he began them, by referencing how hard county government works, even when the federal government doesn’t. “Unlike your federal government, your county is always working hard for you,� he said.

Commissioner John “Bud�

O’Brien ended the event by speaking of some new and exciting things in the works for county government, from being able to pay some

ment stairs and some outside work, she said.

The most expensive project of the day will be placing a shed at the community gardens at Troy Church of the Nazarene, Harris said. Harris said the pre-made shed will help the community and the church. “(The church) had been using their space, but this way the church can have their shed for their needs and those who work with the community gardens will be able to utilize the new shed,� she said.

Make A Difference Day is the most encompassing community service project in the nation; a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors, Harris said. She said the day is special because

people from all over are coming together to help others on Saturday. “What’s neat about this day is Make A Difference Day is a national day of volunteering.

More than 3 million people volunteer on this one day,�

Harris said. “It is neat to think even your neighbors in Arkansas might be volunteering doing something similar at the same time.�

Harris said individuals and groups — such as Boy Scout, Girl Scout, Kiwanis members and groups from area businesses come out each year to support Make A Difference Day and Troy Fix It. She said this year’s event also falls on the same day as the downtown Hometown Halloween event, which goes hand-in-hand with showing

Cultice said, referencing the health concerns at the facility. “It’s an old facility and has plumbing problems. ‌ The maintenance department is working on those, and so is the sheriff’s office and the health department. ‌ The sheriff’s office is gathering information to determine what the best move forward will be.â€?

Cultice said once the commissioners have evaluated the situation they will make “a reasonable decision,� but Cultice added such an endeavour would take time. “Whatever we do, it’s going to be a multi-year process,� Cultice said. “It’s going to take some time.�

New technology that is now up and running, like a web-based work order system for the maintenance department and a new IT department, will reduce a lot of redundancies in the county and save more than $100,000 over time.

Speaking of new technology, O’Brien also praised the county’s website and its

recent redesign. “The site is atheistically pleasing to see,� O’Brien said of the county’s website. “It’s a great communication tool for our citizens, and a tool we can use to communicate with our citizens.�

The website can be found at www.co.miami.oh.us.

Approximately 175 people attended the State of the County address, which is held annually and is meant to act as an informational event where county commissioners update elected officials and community leaders.

what a great place Troy is to live. “This is a day when you can get the scope of how Troy residents care about their community,� she said.

Barbara Martin, TCW board member and site coordinator for MDD is looking forward to the event. “This is a great way for volunteers to help out the non-profits that make a difference in our community year round,� Martin said.

Larry Smith, owner of Greentech Lawn & Irrigation, has participated for the past six years and also looks forward to the day. “This is a great community event, I love being part of it,� Smith said.

Major sponsors for this year’s Make A Difference

Day event include the Troy Foundation, United Way of Troy and Honda of America. “The Troy Foundation believes in this day so much, they gave us more than we had asked for,� she said.

Created by USA Weekend Magazine, the event will be from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday. Harris said those interested in volunteering can fill out a volunteer form at www.troycommunity. com, call her at 339-1014, email contact@troycommunity.com or simply register between 8-8:30 a.m. Saturday at First Place, 16 W.

As part of the application request, Harlow cited reasons for the rezoning from agricultural to single-family residential to allow the property to be developed with the “less intrusive zoning of the residential districts� and “furthermore, the rezoning will fill a demand for citizens who wish to develop a lot with that contains at least one acre of land.�

The R-1 Single-Family Residential District is described as “Designed to accommodate single-family dwellings on lots with areas of at least 40,000 square feet per dwelling unit.�

Pill take-back set for Saturday Melody Vallieu

Staff Writer mvallieu@tdnpublishing.com

TROY — County residents who have unused, unneeded medications have a safe place to dispose of them this weekend.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Saturday, the Miami County Sheriff ’s Office will host a drop-off event where residents can bring unwanted pill medications for disposal to the Miami County Sanitary Engineering Department, 2200 N. County Road 25-A, Troy.

“It’s used by a lot of folks that have had a partner that has passed and didn’t know what to do with the medications,” said Cindy Bach, solid waste coordinator with the Miami County Sanitary Engineering Department. “It’s a good program, especially for senior citizens.”

Bach said the sheriff’s office and sanitary engineering department have

been offering the program twice a year for the past three years, in conjunction with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency’s National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. The service is free and anonymous with no questions asked, Bach said.

However, she said, only pills will be taken — no patches, liquids, needles or syringes.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue, according to Bach. Pill medications that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse.

Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs, statistics show. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet, Bach said.

“With drug use being

so prevalent these days, this is another good way to make sure the unused medications are properly disposed of and out of the house,” Bach said.

In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines — flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash — both pose potential safety and health hazards. Bach said from what she understands, medicines get into the groundwater and can then also get into our water resources.

Bach said they collected approximately 120 pounds of pills at the last event.

“You think that is not that much, but when you’re dealing with those little pills, it is,” she said.

For more information, contact the Miami County Sheriff ’s office at 4406086 or Miami County Sanitary Engineering Department at 440-3488.

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Miami Herald on desperation in Venezuela: The incompetence of President Nicolás Maduro’s government in Venezuela, coupled with rampant corruption, is reaching dangerous levels that could portend a social explosion in that politically tense nation. With inflation reaching just under 50 percent for September and shortages of basic consumer goods multiplying by the day, there is no clear path to resolution of the country’s increasingly severe problems.

In the latest sign that the economy is falling apart, Toyota announced last week that it would have to close for two weeks because of delays in getting dollars from the state currency board, Cadivi. A shortage of materials left the company, a prominent multi-national struggling to remain productive amid the economic chaos, unable to keep its doors open.

The shortage of dollars is the inevitable result of the currency controls imposed by the late Hugo Chávez, founder of the Bolivarian Revolution who died earlier this year and left the country in the clumsy hands of his (and the Cuban regime’s) hand-picked heir, Maduro. Since then, the country has been wracked by a series of crises made worse by a heavy-handed government weighed down by its woeful ignorance of basic economics.

Once, Venezuela could have relied on its oil wealth to save the day, but ever since Chávez turned control of the government oil company, PDVSA, over to his political cronies, it is no longer as efficient or as productive.

In desperation, Maduro last month traveled to China to seek a loan of up to $4 billion to rescue his economy, but his erstwhile friends in Beijing turned him down and Maduro came away with only a few trade agreements.

Faced with a sea of troubles, Maduro has sought scapegoats. Last month, he expelled three U.S. diplomats and accused them of conspiracy and sabotage, uttering the most unimaginative cliché in the book: “Yankee, go home.” (Yep, he really said that.)

Maduro is still seeking permission from lawmakers to rule by decree, but that won’t solve his problems even if he can twist enough arms to get the votes he needs. Eventually, he and his gang will run out of scapegoats, excuses and imagined conspiracies, and that’s when the crunch will come.

Heading into municipal elections in December, Venezuela’s people are clearly fed up with his failed governance and may well send a signal by voting for the regime’s opponents at the local level. At this point, the only thing that can save Venezuela is a change in course that Maduro’s government is apparently unable or unwilling to provide.

The Post and Courier, Charleston, S.C., on Iran’s clever gambit: The high-profile Iranian nuclear peace offensive launched with fanfare by newly elected President Hassan Rouhani at the United Nations last month has disturbed long-standing U.S. allies in the Middle East such as Saudi Arabia and Israel. They are right to be worried.

So far, Iran continues to insist on its right to enrich uranium. Moreover, it refuses to close an enrichment facility under control of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

If talks are to advance, the United States and its co-negotiators from the European Union, Russia and China will have to make concessions leaving Iran with the capability to make nuclear weapons even if its immediate ambitions are blunted.

It makes you wonder why some Western diplomats were expressing “cautious optimism” following last week’s closed meeting in Geneva.

Since 2006 the United Nations has demanded that Iran stop enriching uranium, a process that produces material for nuclear weapons.

Meanwhile, Iran has built up a large-scale uranium-enrichment industry.

It has manufactured a large amount of low-enriched uranium suitable to fuel a power-generating nuclear reactor, and has started accumulating medium-enriched fuel for a research reactor that makes medical isotopes used to fight cancer.

And it can make high-enriched uranium used in nuclear weapons if it so chooses.

Up until now Washington and its allies, negotiating for the U.N., have demanded that Iran give up weapons-grade uranium as a first step toward lifting sanctions. …

Iran has timed its push to get sanctions lifted with a shrewd eye on President Obama’s need for a foreign policy “success.” No wonder the Saudis are reported to view the administration as having gone soft. No wonder that the Israeli cabinet issued a statement before the Geneva meeting warning about the dangers of a premature end to sanctions if it allows Iran to continue taking steps leading to nuclear weapons.

Applying for affordable healthcare makes me sick Troy Troy So I felt a cold coming on yesterday, and figured I had better take the proper steps to fight it — I drank some orange juice, dressed in warm clothing, took my vitamins … and applied for Obamacare.

(Full disclosure: I have perfectly good health care through work, but after hearing about all the problems everyone else had been going through — and knowing some of our loyal readers are probably going through the same thing — I decided to get online and see if I could sign up for my piece of the Affordable Care Act pie).

It bears mentioning that I am woefully behind in the computer world — once I get past checking my email and watching old pro wrestling videos on YouTube, I’m pretty much at a loss.

My long — and torturous — dealings with computers began when I was a teenager and my parents bought me a Commodore 64 computer, thinking it would help my grades.

And it did. Sort of. I used my new computer to print out copies of my grade cards — which looked an awful lot like the ones Troy High School distributed at the time. The only difference was the ones I printed out on my computer at home and gave to my parents had significantly higher grades on them than the ones distrib-

Second, how many peoples’ grandmothers have nicknames? I wondered how many people would be answering this question with “Killer,” or “The Satanic Mechanic” or “Butch.”

And again.

It was at this point that I gave up on applying for Obamacare. The way I had it figured, after spending an hour going through the preliminary process and getting nowhere, I was sicker than when I had started.

I think I’ll just go ahead and stick to orange juice.

WEST MILTON – The Milton-Union Board of Education announced their approval and support of the passage of the village’s November 2013 replacement levy at its meeting Monday.

“I do support the passing of the replacement levy because I want our village to look nice,” said Dr. Virginia Rammel, superintendent.

The expenses to simply maintain the streets and storm sewers have increased by up to 230 percent since the initial passing of the levy in 1984. Additionally, revenue the village receives from the State of Ohio and Miami County have been drastically reduced.

This item was first discussed at the joint meeting last month. If the levy is not replaced, potholes will be the only thing that can be addressed due to increased pricing.

Not all citizens of West Milton are in favor of this replacement levy, though.

Alice Martin, longtime resident of West Milton, was present at the meeting to discuss her differing views on the passing of the levy.

“The replacement levy will add at least $80 to my real estate taxes. A lot of the older folks in the village are protesting this because we can just not afford to pay that much extra,” said Martin.

The replacement levy will cost the average $100,000 homeowner an extra $52.

Future school goals The high school and middle school goals were defined at the meeting as well. The middle school laid out two major goals — to align goals with improving student performance and to close the achievement gap with students.

The first goal will be met by doing teacher evaluations with walk throughs and conferences, working with

parents, administrators and staff to meet IEP requirements, and using DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) to study student progress.

The second goal, specifically closing the achievement gap, can be met by reaching out to parents through phone calls and emails, using Project M.O.R.E. (Mentoring in Ohio for Reading Excellence), the creation of a parent group that will meet tentatively at the Forest Lane apartment complex to discuss issues that parents can face, and to utilize county and community resources to create an efficient peer mentoring system.

The peer mentoring system currently has 21 high school students tutoring middle and elementary school students, and 11 middle school students tutoring elementary school students.

“I’m very passionate about the things that we are doing this year,” said Katie Hartley, middle school principal.

The high school also introduced two new plans to better improve student performance. These two goals were to increase student learning by increasing student resources, and by learning how to collaborate between students, faculty, staff members, and the community more effectively.

According to Principal Scott Bloom, there are many things that can be done to increase student growth.

Following the OTES (Ohio Teacher Evaluation System) model, and having goal conferences, at least six to ten informal walk-throughs for every teacher by April, and having all staff members complete five FIP (Formal Instructional Practices) modules that map out what areas they are going to work on in their lesson plans.

“All faculty have developed measurable goals for this year,” said Scott Bloom, high school principal.

Johnson to play Hobart Arena Jim Davis Civitas Media

Angie Johnson has put years of hard work into her singing career, but a little luck never hurts.

When the Missouri native put her career aspirations on hold in 2011 to return to school, a random YouTube video helped bring it back to the forefront for the U.S. Air Force veteran, who will open for Scotty McCreery Saturday at Troy’s Hobart Arena.

Johnson’s rendition of “Rolling in the Deep” — performed during an impromptu set in August 2011 for troops while she was on a moraleboosting tour in Afghanistan — was recorded by a soldier and put up on the Internet.

Within days, it attracted hundreds of thousands of hits and eventually led to an appearance on Season 2 of “The Voice.”

“It was really random and really chancy,” said Johnson, who had no idea the song had been posted. “I didn’t even know the dude.”

While Johnson was still overseas, her YouTube video drew all sorts of attention stateside, and Carson Daly — host of the “The Voice” — helped track down the troop shown on the video.

Johnson said she had no idea what was about to happen.

“It was all a whirlwind,” she said. “Carson got involved, and once I got boots back on the ground in the United States I started “The Voice” process, and then I did ‘ET’ and ‘The Ellen DeGeneres show.’”

While “The Voice” experience did not turn out exactly the way Johnson hoped, it did re-ignite her dream of a music career in 2011.

“I got knocked out and came back to Nashville and wasn’t sure what was going to happen,” she said. “I look at it all like it’s a blessing.

The good Lord above shined

a light down and said ‘music is where you’re supposed to be and I’m trying to bring it back to you.’ Not a lot of artists get the assurance they need, but on a spiritual level, I believe God has a purpose for me.

I’ve clawed and clawed and then stopped and gave up. But I feel like I was put back on this path. Every time I go off path, music comes back to me and that’s awesome. This is what I’m supposed to do and I’m not ever going to question that.”

Inspired at a young age by her father’s love of music, Johnson said she was exposed to a broad spectrum of musical styles while serving in the Air Force.

“My dad always loved music and he specifically liked bluegrass and gospel and church hymns,” she said.

“When people ask me who my musical influence is, it’s my father. He’s not a musician. He played the trombone in high school, but that was the extent of it, and he really did inspire me and introduced me to the greats of country music.”

A member of the Air National Guard stationed in Nashville, Johnson has toured 25 countries singing with the USAF’s Tops in Blue and the Guard’s Top-40 band Sidewinder.

“When I joined the Air Force, it was my job to be a singer. I was in a top-40 cover band and I had to learn all this music that I did not know,” she recalled, laughing as she described how she once was asked to sing the theme song from the movie “Rocky” — which she did not know.

“If it wasn’t Reba or George Strait, I didn’t know it. But it’s been good for me. I learned a lot and became a lot more diverse.”

Johnson said she’ll help open McCreery’s show with a half-hour of music on the Hobart stage.

“I have a 30-minute set and it’s all acoustic — just me and two guitars,” she said. “I do a lot of original music and a cover of Adele’s ‘Rolling In the Deep.’ That’s kind of my callsign anymore.

“It’s really a high-energy show with very positive and fun music,” she continued.

“I just try to go out there and connect with the girls, and I say that because that’s what Scotty’s fan base is.

And I wasn’t sure if his fan base would connect with me because I’m ‘that girl who is on before Scotty.’ But I feel like I’ve made those connections.”

Having already done several shows with McCreery, Johnson — who will tour with the American Idol winner through November — said she has been impressed with the 20-year-old’s entertainment chops.

“Scotty has a super highenergy show, and everyone on tour is professional and an expert at what they do,” she said. “He is a real pro. I’m pleasantly surprised because I’ve seen him on American Idol and on TV, but you always want to see someone’s live show and see if they can handle it when the pressure is on and there’s no Pro Tool, and he can. He’s a champ and a sweetie.

“Scotty’s fan base is wonderful, and I have a lot of people who say they remember me from The Voice or from the Ellen DeGeneres Show,” Johnson continued. “I go out there, I do what I do and I try really hard to connect and I’ve had a great response. We’ve had long meet and greet lines … and I feel like it’s all been very positive. I’m happy and feel very fortunate.”

Boston Marathon suspect may pin blame on brother BOSTON (AP) — Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s lawyers may try to save him from the death penalty in the Boston Marathon bombing by arguing he fell under the murderous influence of his older brother, legal experts say.

The outlines of a possible defense came into focus this week when it was learned that Tsarnaev’s attorneys are trying to get access to investigative records implicating the now-dead brother in a grisly triple slaying committed in 2011.

In court papers Monday, federal prosecutors acknowledged publicly for the first time that a friend of Tamerlan Tsarnaev told investigators that Tamerlan participated in the unsolved killings of three men who were found in a Waltham apartment with their throats slit, marijuana sprinkled over their bodies.

The younger Tsarnaev’s lawyers argued in court papers that any evidence of Tamerlan’s involvement is “mitigating information” that is critical as they prepare Dzhokhar’s defense.

They asked a judge to force prosecutors to turn over the records.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 20, faces 30 federal charges, including using a weapon of mass destruction, in the twin bombings April 15 that killed three people and injured more than 260. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died in a gunbattle with police days later.

The government is still deciding whether to pursue the death penalty for the attack, which investigators say was retaliation for the U.S. wars in Muslim lands.

Miriam Conrad, Tsarnaev’s public defender, had no comment.

Obama, Pakistani PM meet amid easing tensions WASHINGTON (AP) — In the rocky relationship between the U.S. and Pakistan, the mere fact that President Barack Obama and Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif are sitting down together at the White House is seen as a sign of progress.

Few breakthroughs were expected on the numerous hot-button issues on their agenda Wednesday, including American drone strikes and Pakistan’s alleged support for the Taliban.

But officials in both countries are hoping to scale back tensions that escalated after the 2011 U.S. strike within Pakistan that killed Osama bin Laden and last year’s accidental killing of two dozen Pakistani troops in an American airstrike along the Afghan border.

“We want to find ways for our countries to cooperate, even as we have differences on some issues, and we want to make sure that the trajectory of this relationship is a positive one,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said.

Sharif was welcomed to the White House Wednesday afternoon by a military honor guard lining the driveway leading to the West Wing.

Vice President Joe Biden also held a breakfast

meeting with Sharif and first lady Michelle Obama hosted a tea and poetry recital for the prime minister’s wife.

Obama and Sharif talked on the phone earlier this year, but they have never met in person.

Sharif, who served two earlier stints as Pakistan’s prime minister, has held face-to-face talks with Secretary of State John Kerry and was scheduled to meet with other top U.S. officials while in Washington this week.

The prime minister’s visit to the White House comes one day after Amnesty International released a report providing new details about the alleged victims of U.S. drone attacks in Pakistan, one of them a 68-year-old grandmother hit while farming with her grandchildren. In Pakistan, there is widespread belief that American drone strikes kill large numbers of civilians and Sharif is expected to raise the issue with Obama.

The White House responded to the Amnesty report by defending the drone program, with Carney saying U.S. counterterrorism operations “are precise, they are lawful and they are effective.”

Also on the agenda for Wednesday’s meeting will be Obama’s looming deci-

sion on whether to keep any American troops in Afghanistan after the war there formally concludes at the end of next year.

Ahead of the U.S. withdrawal, the U.S. is seeking to push through a peace deal with the Taliban and Afghan government.

Pakistan is seen as key to this process because of its historical connection to the Taliban. It helped the group grab power in Afghanistan in 1996 and is widely believed to have maintained ties as a hedge against neighbor and nuclear rival India — an allegation denied by Islamabad.

Ahead of his trip to the U.S., Sharif said he planned to ask Obama for American intervention in resolving the dispute between Pakistan and India in Kashmir.

On Wednesday, India accused Pakistani troops of firing guns and mortars on at least 50 Indian border posts overnight in Kashmir. Indian troops returned fire, but one Indian guard was killed and six were injured by a shell fired at the Arnia post in the Jammu region, he said.

Indian Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid rejected the idea of U.S. involvement, saying Kashmir was a “bilateral issue between India and Pakistan.”

McConnell wins praise from some in Kentucky

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — In the midst of a double-barreled re-election fight, Mitch McConnell is earning praise back home from some unlikely corners for brokering the deal that ended the partial government shutdown and averted a potential default on U.S. debt.

“He did yeoman’s work making sure this thing got fixed,” said Owensboro tobacco farmer Rod Kuegal, a Democrat.

Newspaper opinion pages that typically disagree with McConnell also give him positive marks. Among them: the Lexington Herald-Leader, which said McConnell “does deserve credit for what he does best — managing in the real, messy world of democratic government.”

While McConnell may have temporarily hushed Democratic foes who call him “the guardian of gridlock,” his collaboration with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., to break the impasse again riled tea party Republicans and other conservatives who long have criticized him.

“We’re feeling betrayed,” says Tim Isaac, a tea party Republican in Wilmore who owns a small information technology company. “Either he’s one of us or he’s not, and based on what he did,” he’s not.

By deciding to work with Democrats, McConnell became the latest Republican to show a willingness to risk the ire of tea partyers by making the pragmatic decision rather than the ideologically pure one. Earlier this week, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie stopped fighting legal gay marriage in his state, angering parts of the GOP’s conservative base but endearing him to others across the political spectrum.

Even Republican allies say McConnell faced a tough choice as the shutdown entered a third week.

He could stand firm with conservative demands for more spending cuts — a move that could help overcome a challenge from tea party-backed Matt Bevin — while angering everyone else he’d need to win another term. Or he could look to next fall and broker a deal

with Democrats. That would enrage the tea party but endear himself to the broader electorate of independents and moderates whose backing he will need in the general election against Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes In the end, McConnell’s decision suggested a confidence that he can overcome such gripes from the tea party, which has never fully warmed to him. It also reflected his campaign’s belief that he’ll ultimately win the primary over Bevin and will face a tougher fight from Grimes in the general election next fall.

One year out, the electoral environment is shaping up to be difficult for Republicans.

Voters of all stripes are fed up with gridlock in Washington. And national polls show that Americans overwhelmingly blame the GOP for the standoff.

That could be a potential problem for McConnell, the top Senate Republican who is seeking his sixth term and is deeply unpopular in the state.

But McConnell’s shutdown maneuvering may have undercut that argument, even though Democrats have spent nearly $1 million on TV ads this year painting him as “Sen. Gridlock.

Grimes, McConnell’s chief Democratic challenger claims McConnell had hidden in the shadows through much of the debt-ceiling debate until it was nearly too late. She argued the five-term senator opted to negotiate only because of political pressure back home, and that he now “is attempting to pat himself on the back for finally deciding to do his job.”

Tea party activists say McConnell will be punished for compromising instead of siding with tea party lawmakers.

They were demanding that any deal to end the shutdown include provisions gutting funding for President Barack Obama’s health care law.

Bevin, a Louisville businessman and McConnell’s underfunded primary opponent, charged that he “negotiated the GOP surrender” despite his promise that he “would fight to eliminate Obamacare ‘root and branch.’

the Death Penalty Information Center, said the defense may be trying to show that the older brother was the guiding force.

“If I was a defense attorney and was seeking perhaps to draw attention to the influence the older brother had in planning the bombing, I would use his involvement in other crimes to show that he was likely the main perpetrator in the Boston bombing,” Dieter said.

“I would take the position that my client, the younger brother, was strongly influenced by his older brother, and even if he is culpable, the death penalty is too extreme in this case.”

Similarly, Aitan D. Goelman, who was part of the legal team that prosecuted Oklahoma City bombing figures Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, said the defense may be looking to minimize the younger brother’s role in

the bombing.

“I think the mostly likely reason is that if they are arguing some kind of mitigation theory that the older brother was a monster and the younger brother was under his sway or intimidated or dominated by him,” he said.

Investigators have given no motive for the 2011 slayings. One victim was a boxer and friend of Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s.

Federal prosecutors said in court papers that Ibragim Todashev, another friend of Tamerlan’s, told authorities that Tamerlan took part in the killings.

Todashev was shot to death in Florida in May by authorities while being questioned.

Prosecutors argued that turning over the records would damage the investigation into the killings.

AP Photo In this April 12, file photo, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius testifies before the House Ways and Means Committee on President Barack Obama’s budget proposal for fiscal year 2014, on Capitol Hill in Washington. Three weeks after the nation’s new health care law went into effect, President Obama said there was “no excuse” for the cascade of computer problems that have marred the rollout of a key element in his health care law, but declared he was confident the administration would be able to fix the issues.

Frustrated Dems lament damage from website bugs WASHINGTON (AP) — Frustrated Democrats lamented Wednesday that persistent problems with new health care exchanges have inflicted damage on the public’s perception of the already unpopular “Obamacare” — with some lawmakers insisting President Barack Obama should ensure those responsible lose their jobs.

Emerging from a closed-door briefing with health officials from the Obama administration, House Democrats appeared to have at least as many questions as answers about how and when the beleaguered website will be fixed. Although they resolved not to let setbacks with one aspect of the health law outshine the parts that are working, they griped that the shoddy website had given Republicans an opening to do just that.

“I think the president needs to man up, find out who was responsible and fire them,” Rep. Richard Nolan, D-Minn., said after the briefing. He said Obama should tell Democrats when the problems will be fixed so they can prepare to move on. “You don’t get many second chances to get a good first impression.”

Nolan wasn’t the only one.

“Somebody should be held accountable,” said Rep. Xavier Becerra, D-Calif. “Absolutely.”

The briefing with House Democrats came as the Obama administration was appealing to its allies in Congress, on Wall Street and across the country to stick with the health care law despite embarrassing problems that continue to crop up. On Wednesday, lawmakers heard from Gary Cohen

and Julie Bataille, two high-level officials with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a federal agency with major responsibility for the website where millions of Americans are expected to purchase insurance.

Democrats say they requested the briefing. A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said House Republicans were arranging to hold a similar briefing with health officials in the coming days.

Echoing Democratic leaders and even Obama himself, Democrats said it was unacceptable that the website’s debut had been so flawed. But Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., said it was critical Democrats not lose sight of the bigger picture and law’s other benefits.

“It’s regrettable. It can’t be accepted.

Gotta move on,” DeLauro said.

Obama has turned to longtime adviser Jeffrey Zients, a veteran management consultant, to provide advice to help fix the system. And Obama has said he’s instituted a “tech surge,” bringing in leading technology talent to repair the painfully slow and often unresponsive website. But the administration has repeatedly declined to say how long that will take, raising questions about whether the full extent of the problems has been fully determined.

“They were reluctant to give a date — I don’t blame them — on the fixes,” said Rep. Janice Schakowsky, D-Ill. But they said the problems would be fixed in time for people to get enrolled by Jan. 1, the day that coverage through the exchanges begins.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A career management consultant with a knack for taming bureaucratic backlogs is the man President Barack Obama is now counting on to help turn around a problem-plagued website that has marred the rollout of Obama’s signature health care law.

Jeffrey Zients helped eliminate the backlogs that were created when a federal program that promised cash rebates to people who traded in their clunkers for more fuel-efficient vehicles was swamped by demand.

He did it again when the same thing happened as veterans began signing up for benefits under an updated GI Bill.

Now, Zients has been tasked with taking a troubled website that has given opponents of the health care law new reasons to argue that it should be delayed and turn it into the breezy, insurance shopping site Obama had promised it would be.

The longtime management consultant came out of temporary retirement from the

federal government on Monday and quietly dived into his new assignment. Zients left the administration earlier this year after the budget director’s job went to someone else, but he had agreed before the health care troubles surfaced to become Obama’s chief economic adviser next year as director of the National Economic Council.

Zients, pronounced zye-ents, will provide short-term advice, assessments and recommendations to a Department of Health and Human Services team said to be working 24-7 to fix the HealthCare. gov website. Administration officials, from Obama on down, had promoted the site as the first stop for uninsured people in 36 states trying to figure out what coverage they can afford. Many people have reported having trouble using the site and the administration is now urging people to try signing up by telephone, mail or in person.

Zients has led some of the country’s top management firms, advising companies worldwide.

Try this delicious sour cream pumpkin coffee cake recipe

THE AMISH COOK

Lovina Eicher

Troy Daily News Guest Columnist

and plenty of food in the house. It makes us appreciate it all the more.

One Sunday afternoon we recently walked back to see where Joe and the boys set up his tree stand in our neighbor’s woods.

It was an interesting nature walk. It is a little bit hilly but Joe and the boys cleared a nice path to walk. Loretta-13 has a hard time getting up the hills. Benjamin and Joseph hooked arms with her on either side and helped her get up the hilly areas. They also helped her get up in Joe’s tree stand which is 15 feet high.

She was glad to be able to sit up there awhile although she was worn out until we came back home. Things the rest of us take for granted are so hard for her to do.

Do we appreciate our good health enough?

Having handicapped children makes you notice others with disabilities a lot more and be able

to feel for them. God has a purpose for everything which I try to help encourage Loretta all I can. She has days when she gets so frustrated.

It is hard on her when people stare at her when she tries her best to get up a set of stairs. This is all for a reason and keeps us humble.

God’s blessings to all!

A fried holiday appetizer that’s still healthy Sara Moulton This dish is my idea of a onesize-fits-all appetizer for the looming holidays, whether we’re talking about Hanukkah, Thanksgiving or Christmas.

It’s particularly apt for Hanukkah because the eggplant is “fried” in oil — and oil is one of the holiday’s central symbols. The good news is that the eggplant is pan-fried — not deepfried — and vegetarian, so it’s still reasonably healthy. Heck, if you built a bigger version, you could even turn it into a vegetarian entree.

Buying fresh eggplants is key.

Whatever its size — and they range from thin Asian strains to big and bulbous Italian-Americans — an eggplant should have a very shiny skin and be firm and smooth to the touch. Also, it’s best to cook it as soon as possible after you buy it. Eggplants don’t like the refrigerator; they tend to deteriorate quickly in the cold.

I did salt my eggplant here, but more for flavor than any other reason.

I definitely didn’t want to extend the prep time by salting and letting it sit for hours; we’re already spending a lot of time in the kitchen cooking for the holidays. I chose small eggplants for this recipe, mainly because I wanted one-bite tastes, but also because the skin on the smaller eggplants usually is more tender. But if all you can find is the larger guys, just slice them into rounds, then cut the rounds into quarters.

The eggplant’s blandness makes it a terrific host for spices. I went Middle Eastern here, with cumin, smoked paprika and cayenne. But you’re welcome to roll instead with a curry or Cajun mix, or with chopped dried herbs. However you spice it, the recipe’s yogurt-cucumber sauce, which consists of exactly three ingredients and requires only 5 minutes to prep, provides a lovely cooling counterpoint.

One note about the breading procedure: it’s important to knock off the excess flour, let the excess egg mixture drip off, and to tap off the extra breadcrumbs. If you don’t, you’ll end up with an over-breaded slice of eggplant and too few crumbs. Breading the eggplant keeps it from absorbing too much oil. The end result is wonderfully creamy. My husband, no fan of eggplant, scarfed up these tasty little bites with no complaint. ___ FRIED SPICED EGGPLANT WITH CUCUMBER-GARLIC SAUCE

No small eggplants at the grocer?

About 1/2 pound of a larger one can be substituted, but you’ll need to cut it differently. Start by cutting the larger eggplant into 1/3-inch-thick slices, as directed. Then cut each slice into quarters. Proceed as directed in the recipe.

Start to finish: 40 minutes (20 minutes active) Servings: 6 1 small eggplant (1/2 pound and about 2 inches wide), cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices Kosher salt 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne (to taste) 1 large egg 1 tablespoon water 1 cup panko breadcrumbs 2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 2-inch piece seedless cucumber 1/2 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt 1 small clove garlic, minced Chopped fresh parsley, to garnish Heat the oven to 350 F. Sprinkle the eggplant slices lightly on both sides with salt. Transfer to a large colander, then set in the sink and let drain for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine the flour, cumin, paprika and cayenne. In a second bowl, whisk the egg and water. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

Pat the eggplant slices dry. One at a time, dip each slice first in the flour, shaking off the excess, then the egg, letting the excess liquid drip off, then the breadcrumbs, knocking off the excess crumbs (they will clump).

In a large skillet over high, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the eggplant slices, reduce the heat to medium and cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Flip the slices, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and cook until golden on the second side, about 2 minutes. Transfer the slices to a sheet pan. Bake on the oven’s middle shelf until the slices are tender (a knife will go through them easily), about 15 minutes.

While the eggplant is baking, grate the cucumber on the coarse side of a grater. In a small bowl, combine the grated cucumber with the yogurt, garlic and a bit of salt.

To serve, transfer the eggplant slices to a platter and top each with a generous spoonful of the yogurt sauce.

Sprinkle with parsley.

Today is Elizabeth’s friend Timothy’s birthday.

Happy birthday wishes go to him! We were going to take supper to Timothy’s house tonight but told him it’s easier if he would come here instead.

Daughter Elizabeth didn’t have to work today, so we are going to try to make an ice cream cake for Timothy. We have never tried it before so hopefully it will turn out okay. Also on our menu will be either fried or barbecued chicken. Am not sure what else we will have yet.

Bow season has been in for a while now. This is the first year my husband Joe has tried bow hunting. He hasn’t had time to go too often yet but hopes to go tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the Eicher reunion on Joe’s dad’s side. Money-wise we will be unable to attend. It will be in Berne, Ind. at a community building.

With gas prices being high it makes the prices go up for us when we hire drivers. We had to buy our coal for the winter or at least some of it, making things a little tight right now with money.

We attended this reunion three years ago.

My husband Joe started working five days at the factory again this week which will help out a lot.

We can’t complain as God gives us many blessings.

How thankful we can be to have a place to live

Painting a picture Playoffs at stake in critical Week 9

Josh Brown

Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com

Two teams have clinched playoff spots, two teams control their own destinies.

With two games left in the regular season, the postseason picture has been completely outlined and just needs a bit of coloring.

Not only do Tippecanoe, Miami East, Covington and Lehman look like playoff locks — the Buccaneers and Cavaliers have actually clinched spots already — but all four seem to have the inside track on hosting first-round games, too, giving them all a solid chance to be playing for an extra two weeks at least instead of just one.

But before all that, there’s some pretty important business to take care of, starting Friday in Week 9’s games: • Tippecanoe (8-0, 3-0)

at Kenton Ridge (7-1, 2-1) To say Tippecanoe has breezed through the season’s first eight weeks is a massive understatement.

The Red Devils have only allowed 59 total points through eight games, and they’ve outscored that total in two separate single games.

And if that stat wasn’t headshaking enough, Tipp also boasts two of the overall Central Buckeye Conference’s top 10 running backs yardage-wise in Jacob Hall and Cameron Johnson.

It’s no wonder the Devils have yet to be challenged in a game — and are sitting in fifth place in the Division III, Region 10 standings, controlling their own playoff destiny.

The final two regular season games will easily be the biggest test Tipp has seen all year, though. First on Friday they travel to 7-1 Kenton Ridge — whose only loss

is to unbeaten Springfield Shawnee, Tipp’s Week 10 opponent. The Cougars currently sit in seventh in D-III, Region 10, while Shawnee is third. Those two games will be worth massive computer point totals to whoever comes out on top, and with the top eight spots in the region all

relatively close right now, two Red Devil wins would easily mean a home game in the playoffs — not to mention that CBC Kenton Trail Division title that was their goal at the beginning of the season.

“We’re just looking forward right now,” Brewer said. “We told the kids Saturday that what we’ve got left now is a two-game season. We’re going to try to win these last two games. God puts us all in tough situations to see what we are made of. Now we are going to see how tough we are. That’s something that happens in all aspects of life — from losing a loved one to something as simple as a football game. We’ve got to come out fighting.”

Especially considering Greenville is better than its record would

BOSTON (AP) — Mike Napoli hit a three-run double in the first, and the Boston Red Sox took advantage of a reversed call by umpires and sloppy St. Louis fielding to take a 5-0 lead over the Cardinals after three innings of the World Series opener on Wednesday night.

Carlos Beltran prevented the game from becoming even more of an early blowout, reaching over the right-field wall to rob David Ortiz of a grand slam in the second inning. Playing in the World Series for the first time in a 16-year career, Beltran bruised ribs on his right side and left the game an inning later.

St. Louis, one of the major league’s topfielding teams, looked more like the Bad News Bears than slick glovesmen as they started their second Series in three seasons.

Second baseman Pete Kozma dropped a throw for an error that set up Napoli’s big hit, pitcher Adam Wainwright and catcher Yadier Molina allowed a popup 40 feet from home plate to fall between them for a single and Kozma let a bouncer roll out of his glove for a second error.

Dustin Pedroia’s RBI single made it 4-0 in the second, and Ortiz wound up with a sacrifice fly on Beltran’s web gem.

Jon Lester, who earned the win that finished Boston’s four-game sweep of Colorado in 2007, allowed one hit and struck out four in the first three innings.

As the World Series returned to 101-yearold Fenway Park, the oldest stadium in the major leagues, the Red Sox were looking to extend their Series winning streak to nine — quite a reverse for a supposedly cursed franchise that didn’t win a title from 1918 until sweeping the Cardinals in 2004. This has turned into a traditional Series matchup, with the Cardinals winning in 1946 and 1967 before Boston’s big win nearly a decade ago.

Wainwright, who had the third-fewest walks per nine innings in the major leagues this season, opened the game by walking Jacoby Ellsbury, and Pedroia singled to center with one out. The game turned on Boston’s fourth batter.

Ortiz hit a slow bouncer to second baseman Matt Carpenter that had an outside chance of being turned into an inning-ending double play.

Carpenter made a backhand flip to Kozma,

TROY — The less said about last week, the better.

Urban Meyer has a dynamic quarterback in Braxton Miller, powerful tailback in Carlos Hyde and several strong receivers.

Yet the Ohio State coach gushes about the unheralded guys on offense.

“I feel good about the line and that’s where winning football, certainly offensive football, starts,” Meyer said after the fourth-ranked Buckeyes’ 34-24 win over Iowa on Saturday.

“They’re my favorite players on the team.”

The Troy regional cross country meet will attract tons of fans Saturday as the best runners in the southwest region compete for the right to go to state.

And many area individuals and teams will be in the mix.

Here’s a division-by-division breakdown of what area runners to look out for Saturday:

• Division I The Troy boys team will be competing in an always-loaded Division I race.

Qualifying for state is always hard, but that proves especially true in this region.

Last year, the Trojans finished 11th at the meet but had one state qualifier in Branden Nosker, who earned his first trip to the meet with 12th-place finish (16:11.68).

This season, Nosker — a senior who plans on running for photo courtesy Lee Woolery | Speedshot Photo Mississipi State next year — has Troy’s StephenFile Jones (left) and Branden Nosker run at the Troy

Forward From page 11 indicate, Brewer said.

The Green Wave’s offense is led by sophomore quarterback Clay Guillozet, who has completed 95 of 175 passes for 1,079 yards, 10 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He’s also carried the ball 79 times for 122 yards and two touchdowns.

Greenville’s leading receiver is Allen Tabler, who tops the GWOC North in receiving with 40 catches for 497 yards and three touchdowns. Zach Comer has 24 catches for 282 yards and three touchdowns.

The Wave’s leading rusher is senior Ryan Eldridge, who has 111 carries for 591 yards and

one touchdown. Ryan Drew — a 6-foot-3, 235-pound senior — has 62 carries for 199 yards and a touchdown.

“Greenville poses some problems for teams,” Brewer said. “They’ve got a good quarterback who can make plays.

They’ve got a good runnning game.”

Defensively, Greenville is anchored by Drew, who starts at middle linebacker. He’s being looked at by several Division I college programs.

“Defensively, they are tough kids,” Brewer said. “They’ll come out and hit you. They’ve got a good defense. They’ve got good linebackers and good

National Trail (7-1, 6-1) Speaking of home games, Covington — which has already clinched a playoff spot in the very least and is ranked No. 6 in the latest state poll — is currently No. 3 in Division VII, Region 26, with the top four teams hosting a first-round game. With all of the big wins the Buccaneers already own this season, there’s little reason to think their final two victims — 7-1 National Trail and 2-6 Ansonia — even have a prayer.

Sure, National Trail is 7-1 and currently holding the eighth and final playoff spot in D-VI, Region 22, but the Blazers were obliterated by Miami East — a team the Buccs shut out — in the second game of the season, and they squeaked past 2-6 Bethel by only two points, 18-16 last week. That 7-1 record looks paper thin, and A.J. Ouellette and the rest of the Buccs will tear through it on its way to a 10-0 regular season.

• Miami East (7-1, 6-1) at Bradford (0-8, 0-7) The Miami East Vikings, meanwhile, are currently second in Division VI, Region 22 and are 13th in the latest state poll. Cincinnati Country Day (8-0) holds the slimmest of edges in the playoff standings, meaning the Vikings could jump to the top spot in the region by season’s end.

Miami East still hasn’t officially clinched, though, and needs to finish the regular season off strong to wrap up that home game. The less said about this week’s game — and 0-8 Bradford’s season in general — the better. After reaching the playoffs last year, the Railroaders are potentially looking at a winless season. They can start looking ahead to Week 10, too — but even then, they face Mississinawa Valley, which already picked up its first win of the season last week against Ansonia.

• Lehman (7-1, 4-0) at Wa y n e s f i e l d - G o s h e n (2-6, 2-3) Lehman has already clinched a Division VII,

who while returning to the base allowed the ball to bounce off the edge of his glove’s webbing and fall to the ground.

Second base umpire Dana DeMuth called Pedroia out on a force, indicating the ball was dropped by Kozma while he was making the transfer to his throwing hand.

Red Sox manager John Farrell came out to argue.

All six umpires huddled near shortstop to discuss the play, and crew chief John Hirschbeck walked toward the Cardinals dugout and told manager Mike Matheny that Pedroia was being called safe. Matheny then argued to no avail.

Three pitches later, Napoli lined a cutter up the gap in left-center for a bases-clearing double.

Under rules changes contemplated for next season, calls such as this would be subject to video review.

It got worse for the Cardinals in the second. Stephen Drew led off with a routine popup, and Wainwright and Molina stared at each other as the ball fell between them for a single.

No. 9 hitter David Ross followed with a single to center and, one out later, Shane Victorino hit a chopper into the shortstop hole that rolled out of the glove of Kozma — who would have had only an outside chance of getting a force at third with David Freese off the bag.

Pedroia then bounced a single under the glove of a diving Freese at third and into left field to make it 4-0.

Ortiz, whose grand slam last weekend boosted Boston over Detroit in the AL championship finale, then hit a Anthony Weber | Troy Daily News File drive to deep right. Beltran raced back to the 5-foot, Miami East’s Robbie Adams fights for yards against Covington earlier this season. The Vikings control 4.44-inch fence, braced himself with his arm hand and got his glove about 2 feet above the fence to snare their own destiny in the playoff race — and travel to winless Bradford Friday.

Campbell is finally getting a chance to start at quarterback for the reeling Browns, who are turning to the veteran to settle things down and save a season that’s beginning to spin out of control.

Browns coach Rob Chudzinski benched ineffective starter Brandon Weeden and will go with Campbell on Sunday against the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs. Campbell is the third QB to start for Cleveland already this season and the 20th — the most in the NFL — since 1999 for the Browns, who have spent their entire expansion era searching for an onfield leader.

Campbell started just one game last season and knows he may have some rust to knock off.

“Go get some 40-W, EW-40 or something like that,” Campbell joked, searching for the name of the well-known lubricant. “I just want

defensive linemen” Despite the recent setbacks — Troy has lost four games in a row — Brewer still feels confident his team can salvage some pride to close out the season.

“We’ve got a good plan going in to this week,” he said. “We’ve got to go out and execute it.”

Backbone of the Buckeyes O-Linemen the unsung heroes at OSU COLUMBUS (AP) — Urban Meyer has a dynamic quarterback in Braxton Miller, powerful tailback in Carlos Hyde and several strong receivers.

Yet the Ohio State coach gushes about the unheralded guys on offense.

“I feel good about the line and that’s where winning football, certainly offensive football, starts,” Meyer said after the fourth-ranked Buckeyes’ 34-24 win over Iowa on Saturday. “They’re my favorite players on the team.”

In the din of the winning locker room, Meyer did something rare: He called up each of the five linemen for special acknowledgement from the rest of their teammates.

The front wall for the Buckeyes consists of four seniors — left tackle Jack Mewhort, left guard Andrew Norwell, center Corey Linsley and right guard Marcus Hall — along with sophomore right tackle Taylor Decker.

They average 6-foot-6 and 310 pounds.

Most have shoulder-length hair. Squint your eyes and they look like a younger version of the cast of “Duck Dynasty.”

In a way, that analogy works. Just like the Robertson clan of bayou-dwellers

who run a duck-call manufacturing company in Monroe, La., the linemen are distinct people, each with a good sense of humor, who sometimes get angry but work together to be successful as a unit.

“It’s fun. We’ve got all kinds of different personalities in there,” said Decker, who said he favors the offbeat Uncle Si character on the hit reality-TV series. “There’s some goofballs. They are some pretty funny guys. But when it comes down to it, they all get the job done.”

It’s hard to argue with the results.

Heading into Saturday night’s game against Penn State (4-2, 1-1 Big Ten), the Ohio State (7-0, 3-0) line is paving over the record book. The Buckeyes are averaging 493 yards and 45 points a game. The line might be the biggest reason why Ohio State has won 19 games in a row, the longest streak in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

The group has a good time, but they are serious about blocking and opening holes. They’re not occupied with polls, the Bowl Championship Series or what people outside the program are saying.

Miami continuing to work on compliance CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — This long NCAA investigation of Miami did not start with Nevin Shapiro taking some recruits for a ride on his yacht or handing out some cash.

Instead, phone calls and text messages were the culprits.

Compliance issues — a

lack of monitoring certain areas well enough at times — were part of Miami’s mess over the past few years. And even though NCAA Case No. M362 is now essentially over, with a small number of scholarship losses for football and men’s basketball as the most significant penalties left to

address, the Hurricanes want to ensure this saga never repeats itself.

“The challenge for all of us is to make sure the lessons learned in what we’ve gone through are never forgotten,” Miami athletic director Blake James said Wednesday, one day after the NCAA’s report on the Hurricanes

was finally released.

Miami self-reported numerous violations regarding improper phone calls and text messages in 2009 — things that on their own would have seemed like parking tickets. The NCAA started looking looked at the Hurricanes then and amped-up the probe a few

months later when the former booster and mastermind of a $930 million Ponzi scheme began sharing his story with investigators.

“Staff members had a poor understanding of NCAA rules or felt comfortable breaking them,” the NCAA said Tuesday.

It would seem unfair to

apply those words to everyone at Miami — and worth noting that former Hurricane compliance director David Reed once confronted Shapiro at a football game and warned others at the school about him.

But if nothing else, it’s a reminder of the need for vigilance.

“It’s building a culture where people have relationships with compliance and trust that compliance is there to help them and assist them,” said Jennifer Strawley, Miami’s senior associate athletics director for administration. “It’s creating an atmosphere where it’s OK that if a mistake happens, we deal with it.”

Most Miami athletic administrators have been hired since the Shapiro scandal broke widely in 2011 or have assumed new roles since.

Compliance officials have more of a public persona now, utilizing social media and seminars to educate boosters, coaches and athletes about right and wrong.

Miami is still asking donors for support — but warning them that it won’t buy unfettered access.

“Everybody in our community has been, to a person, totally supportive,” Miami President Donna Shalala said. “Whether it’s the students or the faculty or the alumni, they’ve been supportive both of the sanctions we imposed on ourselves and the way we conducted ourselves. They’re also committed to how much we’re going to have to invest in making sure that we do everything we can to stay within NCAA rules.”

Miami is not the only school to be tightening the reins. Coaches know finding the right balance when it comes to compliance isn’t easy.

“You know, it’s really a double-edged sword because you want your guys to meet some people that are going to be beneficial to them down the road,” West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins said. “Potential employers, people who have contacts, people who can make calls, people who can be references. At the same time, you’re supposed to stay away from those very people.”

A two-page list shows how seriously Miami is taking all this.

The NCAA’s infractions report shows the corrective measures Miami has taken to safeguard against a future Shapirolike mess. Boosters now have limited access to Miami athletes and facilities. Even the compliance office was moved so there could be better access to athletes.
