Council approves rezoning Decision paves way for soup kitchen to move to new location

The rezoning of two parcels at North Mulberry and East Water streets was approved at Monday’s Troy City Council meeting, ending debate over whether the local retail district classification is

appropriate for the neighborhood, and furthermore, whether the proposed soup kitchen fits in a historic district. The passage of the legislation allows the nonprofit St. Patrick Soup Kitchen board to move forward with plans to con-

struct a larger facility, renamed the Hobart Community Kitchen and funded by an ITW Foundation project grant.

“This is an exciting time for Troy. Not many communities our size have resources like the Hobart Community Kitchen that can ensure the most basic needs of our neighbors are met every day,”

said Greg Taylor, soup kitchen board member, in response to the legislation’s passage.

“Unfortunately, roughly 1 in 6 Americans today are at or below the poverty level. Troy has many programs to help move our citizens out of poverty, and a free meal at the end of the day truly helps that process.”

“It’s was a team effort,” Buehrer said.

Overall, both revenue and appropriation estimates are down approximately $3 million, mainly

A Miami County Sheriff ’s Deputy was arrested for allegedly driving while intoxicated by a Piqua police officer in the early morning hours of Sept. 9, after he was clocked driving at speeds as high as 85 mph and nearly causing a traffic crash.

Deputy Douglas D. Byers, 43, of Bradford, was cited for operating a vehicle while intoxicated, speeding and improper lanes of travel and is scheduled for his first court appearance in Miami County Municipal Court on Sept. 26.

Byers was placed on paid administrative leave by the sheriff’s office later that morning and an active internal investigation was was immediately initiated, said sheriff’s Chief Deputy Dave Duchak.

“We are extremely saddened and disappointed by the allegations against him,” Duchak said. “He is, as are all deputies, accountable no differently than any other citizen. We are taking this matter extremely serio u s l y and moving forw a r d with the i n t e r n a l BYERS investigation as quickly as possible.”

He added: “We are grateful that nobody was hurt.”

A detailed police report of the OVI traffic stop stated a motorist behind the deputy initially reported the incident at 1:07 a.m. on Sept. 9 when Byers’ gray 2003 Chevy Trailblazer was driving across the North Main Street bridge and “hit the median on the bridge, went airborne and then landed almost causing a traffic crash.”

The eyewitness report also states Byers “never slowed down” and was “driving at a high rate of speed.”

When Byers sped by an awaiting Piqua police officer, he was clocked at traveling 70 mph in a 35 mph zone. As Byers left the city on U.S. Route 36 near Spiker Road, his speed increased to 85 mph and the officer noticed the

Dissenting voters included Alan Clark, Bobby Phillips and Robin Oda. Lynne Snee had voted no at last week’s law and ordinance committee meeting, but changed her vote at the final council reading Monday.

During the concluding audience commentary portion, Jean Melvin of 25 N. Walnut St. stated that she and her neighbors would work to overturn the rezoning.

“I will tell all of you that we will get a referendum against the ordinance,” Melvin said. At the last council meeting, Melvin had presented council with a petition in opposition.

Opponents have voiced concerns about preserving neighborhood safety and maintaining the historic district’s image, while supporters have stated that such concerns are unfounded and have not been a

problem with the current location a couple blocks away at 419 E. Main St. The new kitchen will help better serve the needs of the community, Taylor said.

“The current kitchen is overcrowded with inadequate equipment, no air conditioning and it is not handicap accessible,” he said.

“The new building will not only increase our capacity to feed those in need, but it will enable us to host programs and meetings that will benefit the whole community.”

Taylor presented a letter of support during the comments portion at the beginning of the meeting, stating that an informal opinion poll in the Troy Daily News showed that the majority of people were in favor of the soup kitchen. (The question asked, “Do you approve of the proposed relocation of the St. Patrick Soup Kitchen?”)

Rosaleen Rayman of 31. N.

Walnut St. said the opinion poll is not an accurate gauge of public opinion, as the ordinance pertained to rezoning, not the soup kitchen specifically.

Following the council meeting, Phillips explained his dissenting vote, stating that he didn’t think B1 was an appropriate use for the two combined parcels, which have many families living nearby.

“The neighbors have expressed their opinions, and as their representative, I expressed their opinions as such,” Phillips said.

Supporter Doug Tremblay acknowledged that while the issue at hand was rezoning, the proposed use was at the forefront of discussion, adding that he made his decision based on the legislation as written.

“It’s very hard not to look behind the curtain,” Tremblay said of considering the proposed property. “But I don’t see how a soup kitchen will

be a busy or destructive use.”

Dissenting member Alan Clark said the proposed use is inappropriate for the parcels.

“It does not fit the zoning and is not conducive to business,” Clark said. “It’s important to do what’s right for the residents and the community.”

Councilman John Schweser said he was unsure of his stance until last week’s gathering of the law and ordinance committee, of which he is chairman. He voted “yes” for the rezoning again at council, stating after the meeting that the B-1 zoning is consistent for the area, and in addition, a soup kitchen is appropriate under the allowable uses.

“It’s definitely a passionate issue,” Schweser added. “Zoning brings out passion in people.”

Meals will continue being served at the Main Street location until the new facility is completed.

After Byers was stopped near Bedrock Transmission, 5125 U.S. Route 36, the officer stated in his report that he “could immediately smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle” and that Byers “had mumbled speech, glassy and red eyes.”

Byers refused to take a field sobriety test or breathalyzer, stated he had between five to seven beers earlier in the day and “did not realize he was speeding,” reports further disclose.

While at the police station Byers verbally berated the arresting officers with a barrage of vulgar names and told the officers they must be “proud” for arresting him, according to the police report.

The arresting officer also stated in his report that Byers refused to sign his citation

and his recognizance bond and was later released to his girlfriend, but not before the officer advised Byers that he was under administrative license suspension and had his license seized.

Piqua Police Chief Bruce Jamison said he reviewed the case and said it was handled correctly by the responding officers.

“We work very closely with other law enforcement agencies and we have a good relationship with other agencies,” Jamison said. “When you are having to deal with another police officer who you might be sharing a life and death incident with, in that type of capacity, it is very difficult for the officers. In reviewing the whole case I am very proud with how the officers handled it. They handled it the same way they would have handled any other citizen in that same situation.”

Once Byers’ internal investigation is completed a pre-disciplinary hearing will be held, according to the sheriff’s office.

“It’s a one size fits all from the state.”

Accurso said the district is on the right track, with the “Excellent with Distinction” designation to prove the district is doing its job.

Howard Wigdal was in attendance to represent the endowment in memory of his daughter Ann, a Miami East High School graduate and his wife Jewell, a former teacher.

The board also approved to employ Karen Follrod as an intern for the 2012-2013 school year.

The tech intern position pays $11 an hour for no more than 15 hours per week, according to Rappold. The district eliminated one technology department position during its reduction in force and the internship will assist with all facets of the district’s technology department. Follrod had previously interned at Piqua City Schools and came highly recommended, Rappold said.

The board approved to adjust board rate of pay after receiving certifications: Rebeca Leffel from BS to BS + 150 and Christopher Barnes from BS to Masters.

The board also approved substitute classified personnel: Judy Fellers, clerical; Lucy Taylor, aide; and Kathleen Titterinton, clerical, aide and cook.

“There is going to be a levy, it is a renewal and there are no new taxes — just wanted to keep that in front of everybody,” he said.

Following on the heels of a recent court case out of Englewood, Law Director David Caldwell excised portions of the ordinance that have been declared unconstitutional.

Earlier this year, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that an Englewood ordinance that put a curfew on door-to-door solicitors is unconstitutional.

Caldwell eliminated 10 sections of code dealing with licensing and permitted soliciting hours and added sections detailing where soliciting is prohibited and the penalties for violating the ordinance.

New this year is a 5K and 10K trail race starting at 9 a.m. Sunday. The race will take participants around the reserve via scenic trails along Lost Creek and through diverse habitats. More information on the race and how to register is on the park district website at www.miamicountyparks.com.

While at the festival, don’t forget to relax and take in the sounds of bands performing bluegrass, American acoustic and folk music.

This year the music portion of the festival has grown thanks to a grant from the Troy Foundation.

The lineup includes nationally known headliner bands Lonesome River Band, NewFound Road,

Joe Mullins and the Radio Ramblers and the Moron Brothers.

“We are so excited to have these nationally known bluegrass bands at our festival this year,” said J. Scott Myers, executive director of the Miami County Park District.

Also appearing are nine local and regional bands making it a music-packed weekend. The music schedule can be found on the park district website.

There is a $5 donation per day for the music venue.

Another hit at the festival is the 6.2-acre corn maze, which is open weekends in October. Young and old alike can experience the adventure of finding their way through the twists and turns of the corn maze. This year’s maze design is a scarecrow playing the banjo.

“We try to have the maze reflect something that is going on at the festival and with all the great music being offered this year, we thought a scarecrow playing the banjo would be a perfect representation,” Myers said.

While exploring the working farm, participants can see demonstrations on archery, harvesting and making honey, weaving cloth and making rope.

Guests also can learn about organic farming methods currently in practice in the Lost Creek Reserve fields. There is a self-guided tour of the Woodland Loop Trail for guests to take at their leisure. This is a tree ID trail that informs people about the different tree species located at the Reserve. A handful of select vendors will be selling everything from food to artwork.

Festival-goers can be sure to catch the wagon ride around the farm. The route takes participants down a charming lane lined with scarecrows. The scarecrows are part of an annual contest where local businesses show their talent and creativity by building a scarecrow and visitors vote to determine the winners. Last year there were more than 40 scarecrows entered in the contest.

The event is a gathering of community to celebrate the fall season and the rich agricultural heritage of Lost Creek Reserve and Miami County.

“Events like the Fall Farm Fest add to the exceptional quality of life in the Miami Valley,” Myers said.

Seasons of Wool goes online Rosy Toes Designs launched

by Laura resident Chapman

BY JOYELL NEVINS Record Herald Editor jnevins@tdnpublishing.com Seasons of Wool started as a side Etsy business but has morphed into its own online and festival shop called “Rosy Toes Designs,” which just launched at the end of summer.

Run by Laura resident Lucy Chapman, Rosy Toes offers her hand knit high end bags, both in felted knit wool and up-cycled wool and cashmere sweaters, recycled silk pouches and fashion accessories like felted wool alpaca cuffs and scarves.

“My emphasis is on using high quality natural materials to handcraft bags, blankets and fashion accessories that are eco friendly, extremely long lasting, and that the customer will both enjoy using and feel good about using,” Chapman said.

Chapman started her accessory business with knitting for herself. She went to college in the very cold northern part of Wisconsin and as a sophomore, she and her roommate taught themselves the art. Knitting was a constructive indoor habit, and a way to have warm

scarves and hats without a mall trip. After giving her accessories as gifts for years and hearing enough people advise “you should really try selling these,” Chapman decided to give it a try. In 2009, she opened the Seasons of Wool shop on Etsy.

“While I still have my Etsy shop, I decided it was time to spread my wings a bit,” Chapman said, “A lot of shoppers on Etsy will remember they bought something from that great seller on Etsy, but not the specific designer/shop. I wanted to really establish the concept and idea of Rosy Toes Designs and didn’t feel like I could fully do that on Etsy.”

She is grateful to the experience she gained through Etsy, though.

“Don’t get me wrong — Etsy is a great place to start. I learned a lot and grew a lot. It was just time for my business to really reflect me,” Chapman said.

Many of her accessories are made of felted wool.

Felting takes knitting a step farther. Through a special washing process, felting turns the knitted animal fiber into an actual fabric — reducing the size of the original piece by

contested race for the state, there were boos from the Eden Park crowd estimated at 4,500 people in Cincinnati.

“Don’t boo. Vote,” Obama urged.

Obama carried Hamilton County, home to Cincinnati, in 2008 as the first Democratic presidential candidate to do so since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. Some supporters in the crowd said they are trying to make sure people who aren’t as excited about the presidential race as they were in 2008 will still get out and vote.

“I see the same level of support, but not the same level of enthusiasm,” said Cincinnati campaign volunteer Russel Durst, who tells people it’s important to their hopes for a better economy to re-elect Obama.

“Never take anything for granted,” said Bob Jones, 62, of suburban Forest Park. “I think he needs four more years to continue the recovery. We tend to be crisis-oriented, and this is a crisis.”

Also Monday, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio was in Columbus to lead a GOP rally.

Recent polls have indicated Obama leading narrowly in Ohio, a state likely to be crucial to Romney’s hopes of unseating him.

Gase said Obama’s policies have brought the auto industry back to life.

“He is making sure we are playing by the same rules (as China),” Hounshell said.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Calgary (Alberta) Herald on U.S. military deserter Kimberly Rivera: The Canada Border Services Agency is right to order American deserter Kimberly Rivera to return to the U.S. by Sept. 20.

Rivera has been living in Toronto since 2007 with her husband and children — ever since she decided she didn’t want to be deployed to Iraq. Rivera’s situation stands in sharp contrast to those who fled to Canada to avoid U.S. military service during the Vietnam War. Those individuals had been drafted against their will. Rivera chose to enlist in the U.S.’s all-volunteer army. She simply didn’t want to go to Iraq, so she abandoned her unit by coming to Canada while on leave and applying for refugee status.

Rivera is now awaiting a response to her application to stay in Canada on humanitarian grounds, but this plea deserves to be rejected. She knew when she enlisted for military service that she might very well be sent to a war zone. Moreover, “humanitarian grounds” is hyperbole in her situation. If she is deported, she will not be sent to some Third World country where she faces the prospect of torture.

In response, Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda told a Diet committee this month that the government could not confirm the existence of documents that showed that the women were taken by force. South Koreans took his remarks as a distortion of history, and protests are spreading across South Korea.

We wonder if it was appropriate for Lee, as president, to incite nationalism by bringing up disagreements on the question of history.

Five years ago, Shinzo Abe, as prime minister, stated that there was no “coercion in the narrow sense,” that authorities did not take away women by force like an abductor.

Later, the U.S. Congress and the European Parliament adopted resolutions demanding the Japanese government apologize for the comfort women issue, describing it as “one of the largest cases of human trafficking in the 20th century.”

It was a warning by international society against Japanese politicians who are still unable to squarely face the mistakes Japan made in the past.

Sibling differences can be cool, strange Last Friday I got dinner with a girl that can best be described as an up-and-coming friend. My friend Jane basically played matchmaker and set Katelyn and me up on what I call a “girl date.” In the course of conversation, I mentioned something related to my sister. Naturally, Katelyn wanted to know how old she is, and I told her she’s my twin.

“You have a TWIN?” she said with awe.

“Yes,” I said casually. “But we don’t look alike.”

Such is my usual response— something to the extent of, “Uh-huh, yup. Interesting fact.” And then I change the subject.

I often wait a while before letting it slip that I have a twin sister. I just don’t consider it my defining trait, and individuality has always been an important thing for me, after years and years and years of being compared — often without social grace.

But still, here I am writing a column about it. I guess it is a (somewhat) worthy topic of conversation.

The thing is — and I remember this from my biology class — fraternal twins are genetically no more alike than two sisters. That’s why when people say Courtney and I don’t look alike or “look like only sisters,” I have to smile. We “look like only sisters” because we’re not any more sim-

Natalie Knoth Troy Daily News Columnist ilar than two sisters born at different times.

I do understand the appeal of twins — they’re relatively unique, and something just seems neato about having a companion with you along every step of life. But being a twin can actually be pretty difficult, with the constant means of comparison.

I’m several inches shorter, a more petite build, with different facial features and lighter hair. Throughout high school, I hated looking younger and felt completely awkward compared to my pretty, put-together sister.

Beyond looks even, it’s comical how different Courtney and I still are today.

Courtney hates writing and rarely reads for fun. I write in a journal nearly every day and read a book a

week. Courtney loves math and probably considers balancing her checkbook to be a hobby. I despise math and have receipts floating around in my purse (and on my dresser and in my car). Courtney would buy a cheap generic loaf of bread to save a buck, even if she doesn’t like it. I’d never do such a thing. Courtney is the queen of organization, with nary an eraser out of place on her desk. If I attempt to organize stuff, I can’t find anything.

Organized clutter is my game.

Courtney has always been the “responsible one.” I, on the other hand, get lost in my own neighborhood and locked my keys in my car three times in a month this summer.

Courtney is a preppy polo, basic jeans and straight-shoulder-length hair kind of girl. I’ve always been the trendy one, piling on jewelry and poring over fashion magazines.

The overarching difference, though, is that Courtney is rational and future-minded. I’m sensitive and live for the moment. In a nutshell, Courtney will probably always “have her life together” a little more than I will.

I often think we’re a scientific study waiting to happen. With the same upbringing, we must just have innate differences, I suppose?

I also have a younger brother, Kevin, a college junior. Years ago,

when I was in high school, my grandma said the reason he and I would fight so much is because we have so much in common. I remember being so annoyed over that comment — Kevin and I often would fight over silly things like the remote in the morning. (I always got stuck watching ESPN.) Couldn’t my grandma see that I was nothing like my younger brother, who adored shouting at the TV during basketball games, rocking out on the electric guitar when I had a headache, and pushing all my buttons, essentially?

Years later, I’m beginning to see that we do indeed have much in common. We both like the same pop culture stuff, and he’s the first to update me on the latest in music. He’s also studying journalism, in fact (attaboy!), and calls me from time to time to talk about his assignments.

I’m a proud sister. And even from miles away at OSU, he still manages to push my buttons, making a zinger of a comment on Facebook from time to time.

Sibling differences are such a funny thing. I wonder if the differences will increase or decrease as we get older.

Only time will tell.

OBITUARIES

EDWARD (EDDIE) DIXON MOORE PIQUA — Edward (Eddie) Moore, 86, passed away peacefully Tuesday, Sept.

18, 2012, at Garbry Ridge in Piqua.

Born in April 1926, in Bristol, Pa., Eddie was raised in Lynbrook, N.Y. by his doting uncle and aunt, William and Florence Dayton. He graduated early from high school at the age of 17 to enlist in the Merchant Marines to serve in World War II, working in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters of operation during his threeyear tour. He was then drafted into the Army to serve for two years during the Korean conflict. Ever proud of his military service, he was often seen about town sporting a MOORE hat that read “WWII-Korean Veteran.” He earned his college degree from Columbia University in New York City just a few years before marrying his wife, Honoré (Nona) Moore in 1958. She survives him.

Once married, he brought his bride to Troy, where they established a home to raise a family. His four children, their spouses and grandchildren survive him, Margaret (Peggy) and Kathleen Moore, Anne and Bart Goings are in Troy.

Granddaughter Layne Goings lives in Springfield. Eddie’s son, Edward, III, his daughter-in-law, DeAnne, and grandsons Edward IV, and Shane are in New Hampshire. His granddaughter, Erica Dobrzeniecki, lives in Piqua.

He was preceded in death by his par-

ents, Edward and Frances (Lambert) Moore, sister, Janice, brother William, and his uncle and aunt, William and Florence Dayton. His sister-in-law, Jean Moore, and his nieces, Frances Kyle and Laurie Lake, also survive.

He served with the Sheriff’s Patrol from 1959-62. A stockbroker by profession, Eddie retired from Prudential Bache in 1994, after more than 30 years of employment and was an active member of the Troy Rotary Club until he retired, having years of perfect attendance pins to his credit.

He was a member of the National Shaving Mug Collectors Association and loved to share both his personal collection and his enthusiasm for shaving mugs, witch hazel bottles and barber paraphernalia with anyone who came to visit. The game of bridge was a favorite of his, along with a good gin martini. He enjoyed life every day and lived it to the fullest.

Visitation will be held at Baird Funeral Home from 4-6 p.m. Friday.

Services will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday at the funeral home with burial following immediately at Riverside Cemetery.

The average price for a gallon of regular gas was $3.85 in Monday’s survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express.

The average was $3.76 a week ago, before a spike pushed prices closer to the $4 mark. At this time last year, the average was about $3.52.

The factors contributing to higher fuel costs lately include disruptions caused by Hurricane Isaac and problems at Midwestern refineries.

AAA says other factors include high crude-oil prices and tight supplies in some places ahead of the switch from the gasoline blend used for summer to the winter blend.

The national average Monday was $3.86, up from $3.60 a year ago.

Vote could end teachers strike CHICAGO (AP) As they awaited a vote that could end Chicago’s first teachers strike in 25 years, teachers were balancing their desire to get back to class with lingering doubts and questions about a proposed contract that could mean major changes to their pay and job security.

Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis said she expected union delegates to have a possibly lengthy debate when they reconvene Tuesday afternoon, two days after refusing to end the strike because they hadn’t seen all the contract details.

Union leaders say trust has become a critical factor, given the strained relations with Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the school board, and that Emanuel’s effort to get a judge to order the teachers back to class could become an obstacle.

“I’m desperately wanting to get back to my lab experiments with my kids,” said Heath Davis, a seventh-grade science teacher who was picketing outside Goethe Elementary School on the city’s West Side.

Davis was optimistic that Tuesday’s vote could end the strike that has kept 350,000 students out of the classroom. But he said teachers still had concerns about the academic calendar, pensions and resources for special education, in addition to the more publicly discussed issues of tying teacher evaluations to student test scores and recalling laid-off teachers when schools close.

“We don’t want to move too quickly,” said Davis, a delegate who was consulting with other teachers at his school before deciding how to vote. “We want to make sure our questions are answered.”

Tuesday’s vote was not on the contract offer itself, but on whether to continue

the strike. The contract must be submitted to a vote of the full union membership before it is formally ratified.

Some union delegates were taking straw polls of rank-and-file teachers to measure support for a settlement.

Craig Richmond, a counselor at Richard Yates Elementary School in northwest Chicago, voted to continue to the strike as a way to pressure the district on the closure of schools with poor performance or declining enrollment. The former music teacher has lost his job three times in such closures.

He described his action as a protest vote, but he recognized that continuing to strike could erode community support and do more harm than good.

“It’s a huge gamble,” he acknowledged. “The kids would lose out. It doesn’t feel good to me to have that position.”

Teachers have begun feeling pressure to decide quickly on the tentative contract that labor and education experts and even some union leaders called a good deal for the union after a long stretch of setbacks nationally for organized labor.

“It’s risky to extend the strike when everyone was expecting the strike to be over,” said Richard Kahlenberg of the Century Foundation, a nonpartisan think tank in Washington.

Irked by the union’s twoday delay in voting on whether to send children back to school, Emanuel took the matter into court Monday. A judge has called a hearing for Wednesday to rule on the city’s request for an injunction ordering the teachers back to work.

Lewis, making a round of media appearances Tuesday morning, said she did not believe the city’s

Teacher Patty Westcott pickets outside Clissold Elementary School in Chicago Tuesday as a strike by the Chicago Teachers Union continues into its second week. lawsuit would push teachers to move more quickly to end the strike.

“As matter of fact, if anything, it will push people in the other direction,” she said.

Both sides have only released summaries of the proposed agreement. But outside observers said the tentative contract appears to be a win for the union’s 25,000 teachers.

While teachers in San Francisco haven’t gotten an across-the-board raise in years, for example, Chicago teachers are in line for raises in each of the proposed deal’s three years with provisions for a fourth. In Cleveland, teachers recently agreed to the same kind of evaluation system based in part on student performance that Chicago has offered.

“The district went past the halfway mark,” said Kate Walsh, president of the National Council on Teacher Quality. “They got a pretty good deal.”

Some union members in Chicago praised the school district’s move on what percentage of test scores will be factored into teacher evaluations, reducing it from 45 percent to the 30 percent set as the minimum by state law. The deal also includes an appeals process to contest evaluations. The new evaluations would be phased in over the length of the contract.

The tentative contract calls for a 3 percent raise in

its first year and 2 percent for two years after that, along with increases for experienced teachers.

While many teachers are upset it did not restore a 4 percent pay raise Emanuel rescinded earlier this year, the contract if adopted would keep Chicago teachers among the highest-paid in the country.

In Chicago, the starting salary is roughly $49,000, and average salary is around $76,000 a year.

The city also won some things from the union in the proposed settlement.

Emanuel gets the longer school day he wanted, and principals will have say over who gets hired at their schools, something the union fought. The district will be required to give some preference to teachers who are displaced, and the school district will have to maintain a hiring list and make sure that at least half of hires are displaced teachers.

“We made a lot of progress,” said Susanne McCannon, who teaches art at Whitney M. Young Magnet High School. “I’d like to be back in the classroom, but I want to be back in the classroom with the best situation possible.”

Associated Press writers Jason Keyser in Chicago, Steve LeBlanc in Boston, Chea in San Terry Francisco and Amanda Myers in Cincinnati contributed to this report.

Culver's of Troy 2100 W. Main St. Troy, OH 332-7402

NEW YORK (AP) A group campaigning against obesity predicts that by 2030 more than half the people in 39 states will be obese not merely overweight, but obese.

Mississippi is expected to retain its crown as the fattest state in the nation for at least two more decades. The report predicts 67 percent of that state’s adults will be obese by 2030; that would be an astounding increase from Mississippi’s current 35 percent obesity rate.

The new projections were released Tuesday by Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The two organizations regularly report on obesity to raise awareness, and they rely on government figures.

But in this case, their dismal forecast goes beyond the 42 percent national obesity level that federal health officials project by 2030.

About two-thirds of Americans are overweight now. That includes those who are obese, a group that accounts for about 36 percent. Obesity rates have been holding steady in recent years.

Trust for America’s Health officials said their projections are based in part on state-by-state surveys by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 1999 through 2010. Those numbers come from what residents say are their height and weight when asked by interviewers over the phone.

People aren’t always so accurate about that.

The researchers then looked at other national data in which residents were actually weighed and measured and they made adjustments for how much people in each state might fudge the truth about their weight.

They also tried to apply recent trends in obesity rates, along with other factors, to make the predictions.

Officials with Trust for America’s Health said they believe their projections are reasonable.

But their outlook suggests that even in the thinnest state Colorado, where about one-fifth of

HIGHEST OBESITY RATES Listed are 2011 obesity levels followed by the Trust for America’s Health projections for 2030: Mississippi, 35 percent, 67 percent Oklahoma, 31 percent, 66 percent Delaware, 29 percent, 65 percent Tennessee, 29 percent, 63 percent South Carolina, 31 percent, 63 percent Alabama, 32 percent, 63 percent Kansas, 30 percent, 62 percent Louisiana, 33 percent, 62 percent Missouri, 30 percent, 62 percent Arkansas, 31 percent, 61 percent South Dakota, 28 percent, 60 percent West Virginia, 32 percent, 60 percent Kentucky, 30 percent, 60 percent Ohio, 30 percent, 60 percent Michigan, 31 percent, 59 percent residents are obese 45 percent are predicted to be obese by 2030. That means that every state would have an obesity rate higher than 44 percent.

Perhaps more surprising Delaware is expected to have obesity levels nearly as high as Mississippi.

Delaware currently is in the middle of the pack when it comes to selfreported obesity rates.

The report didn’t detail why some states’ rates were expected to jump more than others. It also didn’t calculate an average adult obesity rate for the entire nation in 2030, as the CDC did a few months ago when it predicted 42 percent overall. But a researcher who worked on the Trust for America’s Health study acknowledged that report’s numbers point toward a figure close to 50 percent.

CDC officials declined to comment on the new report.

Whichever estimates you trust most, it’s clear that the nation’s weight problem is going to continue, escalating the number of cases of diabetes, heart disease and stroke, said Jeff Levi, executive director of Trust for America’s Health.

By 2030, medical costs from treating obesity-related diseases are likely to increase by $48 billion, to $66 billion per year, his report said.

Free speech, religion clash over anti-Muslim film

AP

Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies stand down the street from a suburban Los Angeles home believed to be that of filmmaker Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, Sept. 14. Federal authorities have identified Nakoula, a self-described Coptic Christian, as the key figure behind "Innocence of Muslims," a film denigrating Islam and the Prophet Muhammad that ignited mob violence against U.S. embassies across the Middle East. text messages, mosque announcements and made phone calls to bring out protest crowds, including about 1,000 people in the northwestern city of Peshawar on Sunday and hundreds who rushed the U.S. consulate in Karachi, sparking clashes with police in which one demonstrator was killed.

“Yes, we understand the First Amendment and all of this stuff,” wrote Khalid Amayreh, a prominent Islamist commentator and blogger in Hebron on the West Bank. “But you must also understand that the Prophet (for us) is a million times more sacred than the American

Constitution.”

In America, the government can’t even order that the video be removed from YouTube. All it can do is ask. And so far, parent company Google has declined, saying the video was within its guidelines for content. The company did restrict access to the video in certain countries, including Egypt, Libya and Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation.

“This can be a challenge because what’s OK in one country can be offensive elsewhere,” the company said in a statement.

That’s precisely the point about the First

Amendment, Armour said.

“The reason it is a constitutionally protected interest is precisely because it may prove unpopular,” he said.

“Words and images don’t just convey information, they are attached to consequences. That’s when we really have to ask ourselves, ‘What price are we willing to pay for that First Amendment interest?’ And these are the times that really test our convictions.”

In 1975, former CIA agent Philip Agee published a book detailing agency operations and disclosing the names of a number of CIA agents working undercover overseas, Rosenthal said.

Even in that instance, the U.S. government didn’t press criminal charges but instead revoked Agee’s passport and sued him for the book’s profits.

“It’s not clear that there is, on the books today, a law that makes what (Nakoula) did a crime,” Rosenthal said.

“This is an extremely difficult problem.”

Indeed, federal officials have said they are looking at Nakoula only in the context of whether he violated his probation for the fraud conviction. Under terms of his sentence, he was banned from using computers or the Internet as part of his sentence.

The probation issue “gives the government a relatively low visibility way of prosecuting him but not technically for what he said and how inflammatory it was,” Armour said. “It may be a way of splitting the baby.”

tody. He referred questions to federal authorities, who have declined to comment.

Jody Armour, a professor at the University of Southern California’s Gould School of Law, said it’s “not unusual at all for the government to step in and give a citizen in distress or danger special protection, but it can’t be unlimited. They’re going to have to strike a balance.”

A 14-minute trailer for the film posted on YouTube sparked violence in the Middle East, including an attack in Libya in which a U.S. ambassador was killed.

Nakoula, a Coptic Christian and American citizen who served federal prison time for check fraud, told The Associated Press in a short interview last week that he was involved in management and logistics for the antiIslamic film. Federal officials, however, told the AP they have concluded he was behind the movie.

Furor over the film has been widespread. Bahrain protesters used Twitter to organize demonstrations that included burning American flags in the nation that hosts the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet.

enflame protests. Leaving him to fend for himself could have deadly consequences. There are examples of violence against others who have written or spoken against Muhammad.

Egypt’s general prosecutor on Tuesday issued arrest warrants for seven expat Egyptian Coptic Christians, including Nakoula, and referred them to trial on charges of harming national unity, insulting and publicly attacking Islam and spreading false information. The charges carry the death penalty.

So far, the U.S. government has acknowledged offering Nakoula very limited assistance. Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies escorted Nakoula to an interview with federal probation officials. They did so in the dead of night and allowed Nakoula to cover his face. And early Monday, deputies answered his family’s request for help leaving the house where they’d been holed up for five days so they could reunite with the 55-year-old filmmaker. All remain in hiding.

Department spokesman Steve Whitmore stressed the agency is not providing protective cus-

CERRITOS, Calif. (AP) — While the man behind an anti-Islam movie that ignited violence across the Middle East would likely face swift punishment in his native Egypt for making the film, in America the government is in the thorny position of protecting his free speech rights and looking out for his safety even while condemning his message.

It’s a paradox that makes little sense to those protesting and calling for blood. To them, the movie dialogue denigrating the Prophet Muhammad is all the evidence needed to pursue justice vigilante or otherwise against Nakoula Bassely Nakoula, an American citizen originally from Egypt.

In America, there’s nothing illegal about making a movie that disparages a religious figure.

And that has the Obama administration walking a diplomatic tight rope less than two months before the election how to express outrage over the movie’s treatment of Islam without compromising the most basic American freedom.

“The thing that makes this particularly difficult for the United States is that … we treat what most of us would refer to as hate speech as constitutionally protected speech and Americans don’t appreciate, I think, how unusual this position seems in the rest of the world,” said Lawrence Rosenthal, a professor at Chapman University’s School of Law in Orange, Calif.

The situation also raises vexing questions about how far the government can and should go to protect someone who exercises their First Amendment right. In the past, for example, police have stood guard to ensure Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan could march without being attacked for their views.

But Nakoula’s case invites scrutiny because the free speech he exercised with the film “Innocence of Muslims” has had such far-reaching and violent implications.

If the government were overtly protect to Nakoula, it could be seen by some as tacit approval of the film, and further

Word of the Week linear scale — a means of showing the scale of a map, chart, or drawing

Newspaper Knowledge Geographical references in any news or feature story will ad reality to the study of geography.

Travels of local persons and visitors from other countries are frequently noted in newspapers.

Newspaper reading should also increase knowledge of local geography. A good classroom map of the area should be regarded as essential.

t

ime for the intermission in our around-the-world journey.

This is where we learn something every world traveler needs to know: How to read a map.

What is a map anyway? It’s sort of a code, really.

The lines and symbols on a map are code for the elements of a place. Without maps, geographers would be lost – and that’s no joke.

By translating the important elements of a place into symbols that are much smaller and much more easily manipulated than those of the real place, a map helps its readers understand more about the place represented than they might have if they’d only visited, without the map.

Maps are drawn to scale, which means each inch or centimeter or whatever on the map represents the same amount of real space. One inch on the map might represent 100 miles, 1,000 miles, or just one mile, depending on the map. Two cities that appear the same distance away from a third city on a map, then, should be about the same distance from that city in reality. A graph on the map often tells the reader what the scale is.

Maps also use certain symbols for the features of the place they represent. A dot might represent small towns, a square larger towns. Rivers might be blue lines, while roads are black lines.

Political units might each be a different color, while national capitals are written in bold print and underlined.

Dear Annie: I am 23 years old and have been dating "Tom" for two years. He works in a demanding job that requires an extensive amount of travel. He's away almost six months of the year.

When Tom isn't traveling, he's with me during the week, but spends most weekends going places with his fraternity or visiting his parents. This means for the six months he's in town, I get perhaps one weekend.

We are saving for a house, and Tom's constant recreational travel is cutting into our budget. I want our couple time back, as well as time to take care of things at home. I've suggested compromises (such as two weekends away and two weekends home), but things always come up that he "has to do." Two months ago, I was let go from my job. That same afternoon, Tom left on a trip with friends that could have easily been cancelled. I can't use those same weekends to visit my family because they are too far away, so I spend a lot of time sitting home alone.

I know nothing unsavory is going on. Tom is a wonderful guy. I have no intention of leaving him. I knew when we met that his job would require a lot of travel, but these personal weekends are difficult for me. I know he hates being inactive or staying home, but it seems excessive. How can we come up with a workable solution? — Home Alone Dear Home: Tom thinks he already has a workable solution and has no incentive to compromise. After all, he sees you all week. Right now, his schedule is a minor hardship for you, but if you marry and have children, it will be a major problem. You'll have to revisit this issue then.

Meanwhile, we are never in favor of sitting home alone moping. Please find things to occupy yourself during the weekends when Tom is absent. Look for parttime work. Take classes to bone up on your skills. Go biking.

Accompany him when he visits his family, and get to know them better.

Dear Annie: My son is getting married in November in his fiancee's hometown. My son says his fiancee has selected the place for the rehearsal dinner. She also wants to invite not just the wedding party, but everyone who will be in town for the wedding.

I have not been consulted about the plans, and have expressed my concerns to my son regarding the cost of the dinner. I am on a fixed income. My son says his fiancee's parents have offered to pay for whatever I can't afford. He also says he's learned to pick his battles and will not argue with his bride about the dinner plans, as she wants it to be a memorable celebration.

How do I handle the situation?

— Mother of the Groom Dear Mom: Your future daughter-in-law has usurped your privilege to host the rehearsal dinner.

Determine what you can comfortably afford for this event, and then inform your son that this is what you would have spent had you planned it, and you are happy to give him a check for this amount.

If he chooses to have a more elaborate affair, someone else will have to cover the additional cost.

Dear Annie: You gave good advice to "Donny," who wants to be closer to his grandparents. I am blessed with 11 grandchildren and love them dearly. As they have aged, however, they have become more distant, and I'm lucky to get a grunt from them. They give me little reason to seek them out. It seems to be the norm with the onset of texting and social media.

Communication is a lot different with our generation.

I have given up pursuing my older grandchildren, but would be elated to have them show that they cared about a relationship.

But they have to do their part. — Cal in Maine Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News.

MONDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Eggs are in a pickle — try making them at home Dear Heloise: I love the flavor of pickled eggs that are soaked in the juice from dill pickles.

Is it possible to make them as if I were making dill pickles? — Judy, via email Yes, there are numerous recipes for pickling eggs, but they may not taste like the ones that you just plopped in the dill-pickle jar.

For the dill-pickle flavor, try taking the leftover juice from your dill pickles, heating it and pouring it over hardcooked eggs.

After finishing a jar of pickles, I like to put sliced celery, carrots, cucumbers or hard-

Hints from Heloise Columnist boiled eggs in the leftover juice and let it sit for a few days in the refrigerator. — Heloise THREE IN ONE Dear Readers: Here are some terrific cold-drink hints from readers: • Rick K. in Missouri: One of my most refreshing hints is

to add pineapple juice to a glass of iced tea to taste. It’s a summer staple for quenching thirst.

• Joan in Ohio: I poured a glass of iced tea and then realized I had no lemon or lemon juice. But I did have some lemon frozen treats in the freezer, so I put one in the iced tea. No need for sugar or ice cubes.

• Carol M. in Missouri: When making or serving lemonade (or any other cold drink), freeze some in icecube trays. They can then be added to glasses of lemonade instead of ice cubes made of water, which will weaken

your drink.

In Texas, iced tea is a staple year-round, and because coffee and tea are such popular drinks, I compiled my Heloise’s Flavored Coffees and Teas pamphlet.

To receive one, send $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (65 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Coffees, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. To make coldwater iced tea, fill a pitcher with cold water, add eight to 10 tea bags, then cover. Let stand at room temperature or place in a refrigerator for at least six hours. Remove the bags and serve. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE

SNUFFY SMITH

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, Sept. 20, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Relations with others, especially partners and close friends, will be touchy today! People are explosive and ready to fight at the drop of a hat. Tread carefully!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is an accident-prone day for your kids. It’s also an accident-prone day for sports, creative activities and anything connected with the entertainment world and the hospitality industry. Be careful!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Even though you are in an upbeat, easygoing mood, upsets at home (small appliances might break down or minor breakages could occur) are in the mix.

Avoid arguing about shared possessions.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a good day for business and commerce; however, issues at home or within your family are unpredictable.

Minor accidents and family arguments might occur.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You feel friendly and social today.

Enjoy good times with others, but be aware that this is an accident-prone day (verbally or physically). Avoid arguments.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be aware of your possessions and money today, because you might lose something or break it. The upside is that you might discover an opportunity to make a fast buck.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Relations with others are potentially explosive today. Although you will enjoy times with friends and groups, you might argue with partners and close friends. (Be tolerant and patient.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your energy is still very high today, which is why you might end up in an argument with someone at work or even a neighbor or sibling. Quit competing. (You don’t have to always be right.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your dealings with others in group situations will be potentially explosive today. You might attract someone who is brash, loud and overpowering. (Run away!)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Avoid arguments with parents, bosses, teachers and VIPs. Suddenly, they could erupt, and they will not be helpful. Instead, accept help from someone who is ready to assist you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is an accident-prone day for your sign, so be careful. Fortunately, partners and close friends are supportive and loving.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Keep an eye on your money today, because you might find money or you might lose money. Guard your possessions against loss or theft. Fortunately, things at work flow smoothly.

YOU BORN TODAY You’re observant.

You notice people, your surroundings and even the trends of society around you. You’re organized and take a great interest in running everything around you, including your home. You fix things and solve problems. Your greatest strength is your belief in yourself.

In the year ahead, set aside time to learn something valuable. (Your rewards soon will follow.)

MainSource Bank Part-Time Sales Associate (Teller) Troy, OH

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆ NOW HIRING! ◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

Each office is independently owned and operated

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees).

The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount.

While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks.

Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

• Tennis Troy 3, Miamisburg 2 Troy scored a 3-2 victory over a tough Miamisburg team on Monday.

“It has a huge win with Miamisburg having a very strong team,” Troy coach Mark Goldner said.

At first singles, Ivy Smith won, but the key to the match was the play of both doubles teams. At first doubles, Meredith Orozco and Holly Riley scored a big win for the Trojans against Amalise Cox and Michaela Young, defeating the Miamisburg two-some in straight sets 6-4, 6-2. Then at second doubles, Troy’s pair of Kelly Fischer and Marina Wehrkamp held off Kayla Ayers and Erin Gustafson 1-6, 7-5, 7-5. all the key points to earn a hard-fought three-set win.”

The Trojans are 9-5 this season.

Tippecanoe 5, Urbana 0 Tippecanoe improved to 131 on the season Monday, coasting to a 5-0 victory over Urbana.

Sierra Nellessen, Taylor Sutton and Nefeli Supinger won at singles. The first doubles team of Katie Stenger and Nadia Mahan won, as did the second doubles team of Katie Gross and Miu Tanaka.

Chaminade Julienne 4, Milton-Union 1 Having seen Chaminade Julienne before, Milton-Union knew what to expect. And the Bulldogs suffered the full brunt of that attack on Monday, losing 4-1.

Kayla Smith and Claire Fetters defeated Ashley Huffman and MacKenzie 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 at first doubles for the Bulldogs’ only victory.

Troy, Butler battle to draw Trojans and Aviators remain tied for second in GWOC North

BY COLIN FOSTER Associate Sports Editor cfoster@tdnpublishing.com One quality that Troy coach Richard Phillips loved about his team entering the season was their ability to get after it when they took the field.

That was something Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division rival Butler — a team that Troy hasn’t beaten since 2008 — got a first-hand look at Tuesday night.

VANDALIA During the course of the game, there were three cards given, three injury timeouts and countless fouls were called in a critical matchup between two teams that have tied for the GWOC North title the last two years. But when the final buzzer sounded, the game concluded in a 1-1 draw at Memorial Field in Vandalia.

“That’s the way we want to play,” Phillips said. “The kids

played hard. They wanted it.

Both teams wanted it. I was proud of the way they played.”

Butler’s Adrian Jemison scored the first goal of the game at 27:34. Jemison displayed lightning-quick speed, chasing down a Zach Burgmeier touchpass then scooting by a Trojan’ defender and touching a shot past goalie Matthew Carr to give the Aviators a 1-0 lead on their first shot of the game.

The Trojans, though, got right back in the game on a goal by

Troy sweeps tri-match Staff Reports TROY — Troy got the help it needed last week.

Troy (7-3, 2-1 Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division) swept a tri-match against Sidney and Xenia at Miami Shores Tuesday, shooting 161 to Xenia’s 173 and Sidney’s 201.

MIAMI COUNTY After Greenville knocked off Butler — the source of Troy’s lone GWOC North Division loss — it now needs a victory against rival Piqua Thursday to enter next week’s Postseason GWOC Tournament in good shape.

Bengal receivers helping out Green For the final practice each week, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis orders his best receiver to the sideline to watch everyone else run the plays.

It’s done for a purpose, not punishment. Lewis wants the other Cincinnati receivers to see what they can do without A.J. Green getting the ball.

So far, it’s been a good lesson.

Ohio State’s Orhian Johnson attempts to bring down a California ballcarrier Saturday at Ohio Stadium.The Buckeye defense gave up a number of big plays in the game, but in the end Ohio State escaped with a 35-28 victory.

Wrapping up OSU to work on tackling after Cal’s big plays COLUMBUS (AP) — His team hasn’t lost and it has a quarterback who has stamped himself as one of the best in the nation.

Yet as No. 16 Ohio State readies for its final non-conference game on Saturday against UAB, coach Urban Meyer knows he and his staff still have a lot of items to clean up.

The very first thing, on the top of that list, is eliminating big plays on defense.

“That is the most alarming thing,” Meyer said on Monday.

“I’ve watched Ohio State’s defense for a long time, and I can’t remember a defense I’ve been around that’s given up this many (big plays). We’ve got to stop or we’ll lose a game.”

Ohio State’s opponents have

racked up 13 plays from scrimmage that picked up at least 20 yards. In Saturday’s come-frombehind 35-28 win over California, the Buckeyes cruised to a 20-7 lead at the half then surrendered gains of 36, 81, 30, 16 and 15 yards on the Golden Bears’ next five possessions to fall behind 21-20.

After having no luck gaining yards or collecting first downs on their previous four possessions, behind quarterback Braxton Miller the Buckeyes marched 75 yards to regain the lead. Then it took just two plays for Cal to come right back and tie it. Brendan Bigelow, who gained 160 yards on just four carries, ran for 16 yards and then raced for 59 more, with the extra-point kick tying it at 28

with 8:10 left.

“That’s not acceptable,” Meyer said.

So this week, rest assured, the defense will be going over every detail to try to find a solution.

Part of the problem, of course, is that Bigelow made a couple of sensational runs, putting up the Ohio Stadium record for an opponent 82-yard run while twice putting his hand down on the turf for balance as he spun 360 degrees during contact before turning upfield and outrunning the defense.

Beyond that, it’s a series of dominoes falling the wrong way.

MIAMI COUNTY

TROY — After a rollercoaster of a week, the Troy Trojans started off the new one on a high note.

Troy (10-4, 3-0 Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division) were clicking on all cylinders Tuesday, pummeling Trotwood 25-3, 25-10, 25-8 at the Trojan Activities Center.

“We played aggressive,” Troy coach Michelle Owen said. “This is the best passing Trotwood team we’ve seen in a while, but they had hitting errors and we capitalized.

“We hit 42 percent tonight — 29 kills against eight hitting

errors. That’s pretty darn good.”

Jenna Selby had 10 kills and three aces, Emily Moser had eight kills, Lauren Freed had six kills and three aces, Ashton Riley had two kills, three aces and nine digs, Jillian Ross had two kills, Jen Monnier had a kill and a dig, Abby Brinkman had four aces and three digs, Mackenzie Rice had 19 assists and an ace, Cassie Rice had four digs and two aces and Leslie Wynkoop had three aces and seven assists.

Milton-Union 3, Carlisle 0 CARLISLE — The MiltonUnion Bulldogs traveled to Carlisle Tuesday night and easily routed the Indians, 25-10, 25-16, 25-9, for the team’s seventh straight win.

“We just had too much horsepower for them,” Milton-Union coach Bill Ginn said. “We were able to get our younger players some varsity experience, and that’s a good thing.”

Leading the way for Milton was Michelle Richardson, who tallied 10 kills. Anna Vagedes added eight, a career high for her, and the Bulldogs were aided by quali-

ty serving by Kaitlyn Thompson and Kinsey Douglas.

Milton-Union (8-2, 4-2 Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division) travels to Piqua Monday.

Replacement refs struggling

By The Associated Press One official was pulled from duty because he’s a fan. Another negated a touchdown without ever throwing a penalty flag.

Several others had difficulty with basic rules.

Upon further review, the NFL’s replacement officials came up short in Week 2.

Coaches and players around the league are losing patience and speaking out against the fill-in officials following a slew of questionable calls in the games Sunday and Monday night.

Some players are even joking about dipping into their own pockets to settle the contract dispute and get the regular officials back on the field.

“I don’t know what they’re arguing about, but I got a couple of (million) on it, so let’s try to make it work,” Washington defensive back DeAngelo Hall said, kiddingly, on Monday.

“I’m sure the locker room could put up some cash and try to help the cause out.”

The NFL locked out the regular officials in June

DAYTON — Troy’s girls just keep winning.

after their contract expired. Negotiations with the NFL Referees Association broke down several times during the summer, including just before the season, and the league is using replacements for the first time since 2001.

The results have been mixed.

Just hours before kickoff Sunday, the NFL removed side judge Brian Stropolo from the New Orleans-Carolina game because it was discovered he’s a Saints fan.

Then came the on-field problems.

In Philadelphia’s 24-23 win over Baltimore, two game-altering calls left quarterback Joe Flacco and linebacker Ray Lewis fuming, though it appeared on replay that both calls were accurate. That didn’t make them any less controversial.

Flacco’s scoring pass to receiver Jacoby Jones in the fourth quarter was called back because of offensive pass interference.

The official who made the call didn’t throw the yellow flag, though he immediately signaled a penalty.

Not alone anymore Bengals’ non-A.J. Green receivers making plays CINCINNATI (AP) — For the final practice each week, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis orders his best receiver to the sideline to watch everyone else run the plays.

It’s done for a purpose, not punishment. Lewis wants the other Cincinnati receivers to see what they can do without A.J. Green getting the ball.

So far, it’s been a good lesson.

The Bengals (1-1) have found plenty of help for their Pro Bowl receiver during the first two games.

Andrew Hawkins, Armon Binns and Brandon Tate have been keeping up with Green, just like in that final practice each week.

“On Fridays, I usually stick him right by me,” Lewis said, “and let everybody else go to work.”

Green was a blocker on the Bengals’ biggest plays Sunday during a 34-27 win over Cleveland at Paul Brown Stadium. Andy Dalton matched his career high with three touchdown passes, including a 10yarder to Green in the first half.

Tate ran past a safety for a 44-yard touchdown catch that opened the second half and put Cincinnati in control.

Hawkins turned a short reception into a 50-yard touchdown play in the fourth quarter.

“Some days will be my day, and some days will be others’,” said Green, who had a team-high seven catches for 58 yards.

Developing receivers to complement Green was one of Cincinnati’s offseason priorities. Against the Browns (0-2), they used everyone to full advantage. The Browns doubleteamed Green, preventing him from making a gamebreaking play.

With Green soaking up the defense’s attention, the other receivers had more room to maneuver.

“They crowded my side a lot and didn’t let me beat them over the top,” Green said. “I had to run short routes and make big plays open up. I’m willing to do anything.”

The most sensational play was Hawkins’ clinching touchdown. Dalton scrambled to his right to avoid the rush and saw Hawkins open about 10 yards downfield. Once the 5-foot-7 receiver got the

Cincinnati Bengals’ Andrew Hawkins sprints for the end zone on a 50-yard touchdown catch during a game against the Cleveland Browns Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati. ball, he eluded several defenders and got blocks from the other receivers.

Green threw the final block on the play as Hawkins reached the end zone.

“You have to be a complete receiver,” Binns said.

“We have to put out effort at all times, even when the ball isn’t in our hands. It felt good to help Hawk get in there for his first touchdown.”

It was the first NFL touchdown for Hawkins, who played two years in the Canadian Football League before finally getting a chance last season with the Bengals. His brother, Artrell, was a Bengals cornerback.

“It’s an incredible feeling,” Hawkins said. “I didn’t think I’d ever be at this point. Ever. I’m so appreciative and thankful to be where I’m at.”

After two games, Green leads with 12 catches for 128 yards (10.7 average

per catch); Hawkins has 10 catches for a team-leading 142 yards (14.2 average); Binns has nine catches for 94 yards (10.4 average), and Tate has four for 74 yards (18.5 average).

“It’s something to build on,” Hawkins said. “It’s only the second week of the season. We have a long way to go, but there are a lot of positives.”

Not on defense. The Bengals fell to 30th overall in the rankings after allowing Brandon Weeden to have one of the best games by a Browns rookie quarterback and Trent Richardson to run for more than 100 yards and score on both a run and a pass.

In the first two games, the Bengals have given up 37 plays of 10 or more yards. They’ve allowed 71 points fourth-most in the NFL and 869 yards, the most in the AFC. Lewis thinks the defense is pressing, with players trying too hard to

make an impact.

“You can’t win many football games in the National Football League when you give up whatever we gave up in points yesterday,” Lewis said. “I know that for a fact. It’s difficult to score as many as we did. You have to play better defense, and you can’t give up explosive plays like we did.”

NOTES: Lewis had no update on DE Jamaal Anderson, who hurt his left knee in the fourth quarter and left on a cart.

Anderson signed with the Bengals as a free agent from Indianapolis in the offseason and was the backup at right end. …

Lewis said there were no other significant injuries from the Cleveland game.

He left open the possibility that RB Bernard Scott (hand) and DE Carlos Dunlap (knee) could return this week. They were inactive against the Browns.

Miami East holds off Anna, Lehman sweeps Bethel Staff Reports

MIAMI COUNTY

CASSTOWN — Miami East pulled out a 4-1 win over the visiting Anna Rockets on Tuesday.

Defender Anna Snyder carried one up the middle and then sent it far post to a running Montana Hahn, who found the net to put Miami East up early. Anna was able to tie the game 14 minutes into the second half, but

Jessica Barlage came into the game in the 23rd minute of the second half and scored less than a minute later off a Katrina Sutherly cross.

“Jess hasn’t seen a lot of minutes on varsity, but she’s hungry in front of the goal and she provided a great spark for us,” Miami East coach Lil Carson said.

Sutherly was able to score a goal when Anna had troubles clearing the ball late in the second half. Barlage finished out the scoring with 10 minutes remaining in the game.

Miami East (8-1) will host Bethel in a Cross County Conference matchup on Thursday.

Carlisle 2, M-U 0 CARLISLE — MiltonUnion was unable to score as

they were shut-out at Carlisle 2-0.

The game was scoreless going into the second half, but it only took two minutes for Carlisle to score two goals.

With the loss, the Bulldogs move to 3-6 on the season. They will be at home next Tuesday against Northridge.

Lehman 4, Bethel 0 BETHEL — Visiting

Lehman shut out Bethel on Tuesday 4-0.

Sarah Titterington had one goal and two assists for Lehman. Taylor Lachey also added two goals. Sara Fuller had one goal and McKenna Guillozet had an assist.

The win improves Lehman’s undefeated record to 7-0, while Bethel drops to 3-6-1.

■ CONTINUED FROM 17 that thing while everybody else in the house slept,” said defensive co-coordinator Luke Fickell, who served as interim head coach a year ago. “I couldn’t pinpoint one exact thing.”

In his head he went back and forth: His players converged quickly, but did they overreact? Was it just sloppy tackling on a single play, or was it endemic of a deeper problem which might require personnel or scheme changes?

“You can say guys had him, guys wrapped up, guys this, guys that all I can see is that it’s not a lack of effort,” Fickell said.

“Now, is it fundamentally sound in what we’re doing?

No. When a guy slips out the back side for 81 yards, there’s nothing fundamentally sound about it. Did three guys have (a shot at) him? Yeah, but we’ve got to make sure we continue to stress the things that we’re supposed to do on those plays.”

The members of the defense which did end up preserving the win on Christian Bryant’s late interception to thwart the final Cal possession recognize that they are going to face a lot of loud yelling and hard drills this week.

Bryant was a gamesaver at the end, but he also missed an open-field tackle on one of Bigelow’s big runs.

■ CONTINUED FROM 17 the Trojans also dodged another bullet when Jemison nearly snuck one in the goal from the corner.

The ball went over the head of Carr, but no Aviators were on the backside to put it in, leaving the score stuck at 1-1.

But Troy also had its chances.

Carey had a free kick in front of the goal deflect off of a wall of Butler defenders at the 32:30 mark.

BETHEL — Lehman traveled to Bethel on Tuesday and defeted the Bees 2-1.

Bethel started the scoring when Nick Wanamaker scored off of an assist by Tyler Banks. With 10 minutes remaining in the half, Lehman’s Seth Bensman scored the equalizer. Lehman scored the go-ahead goal before the half ended off a corner kick.

kick with 8:26 remaining.

That was just the way the ball bounced on this night for both teams.

“You play to win the game, at least that’s what (former NFL coach) Herm Edwards says,” Phillips said. “The kids played hard.

We tied it up with a great goal from Carey. We made some nice plays tonight and so did they. I was happy with our effort.”

The draw leaves Troy and Butler tied in the GWOC race, with both teams sitting at 1-0-1 in conference play. Sidney (20-0) resides in first, knocking off Piqua 1-0 Tuesday on a penalty kick.

Miller, selected as the Big Ten’s offensive player of the week on Monday, has been virtually unstoppable when running the ball. But the Buckeyes still need to find other alternatives on offense. Jordan Hall (87 yards on 17 carries in his season debut after recovering from an injury) showed signs of being an extra option at running back.

Smith (5 catches, 145 yards, 2 TDs vs. Cal), Jake Stoneburner (2 TDs) and Corey Brown all are becoming more reliable targets for Miller.

“The best thing that’s happened in the first few weeks is we’ve identified a ‘go-get-it’ guy on the outside that we did not have a year ago,” Meyer said, referring to Smith, Brown and Stoneburner. “(Opponents) are defending the run. Braxton’s going to do what he does: He makes guys miss and he’s one of the most dynamic runners in college football.”

“People are just taking for granted somebody already making the play and everybody’s not flying to the ball,” Bryant said when asked to pinpoint the problem. “But, like coach Meyer said, we’re going to work on tackling all this week.”

While the defensive unit is trying to cut down on big plays, the offense will be trying to create even more.

Ohio State has racked up seven rushing plays of more than 20 yards and nine pass completions going at least that far.

Against Cal, Miller broke a tackle in the back-
