Romneys paid $1.94 million in 2011 taxes Movie questions hell as place of eternal torment

WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney, one of the wealthiest candidates ever to seek the presidency, paid nearly $2 million in federal taxes on $13.7 million in income that he and his wife reported last year, his U.S. returns showed Friday. That came to an effective tax rate of 14.1 percent, lower than millions of middle-income Americans but actually more than he had to pay. Most of Romney’s income was from investment returns. That is why his rate was lower than taxpayers whose income was mostly from wages, which can be taxed at higher rates. Romney’s taxes have emerged as a key issue during the 2012 presidential race with President Barack Obama. Romney released his 2010 returns in January, but he continues to decline to disclose

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — How can a loving God send people, even bad people, to a place of eternal torment? A new documentary struggles with questions of punishment and redemption and how culture affects and shapes Christian beliefs about God and the Bible. Coming in the wake of controversy over Rob Bell’s 2011 hell-questioning book “Love Wins,” which put hell on the cover of Time magazine, and treading some of the same ground, filmmaker Kevin Miller believes the debate about the nature of hell is not academic.

Studies more firmly tie sugary drinks to obesity BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE Associated Press New research powerfully strengthens the case against soda and other sugary drinks as culprits in the obesity epidemic. A huge, decades-long study involving more than 33,000 Americans has yielded the first clear proof that drinking sugary beverages interacts with genes that affect weight, amplifying a person’s risk of obesity beyond what it would be from heredity alone. This means that such drinks are especially harmful to people with genes that predispose them to weight gain. And most of us have at least some of these genes. In addition, two other major experiments have found that giving children and teens calorie-free alternatives to the sugary drinks they usually consume leads to less weight gain. Collectively, the results

England Journal of Medicine. The gene research in particular fills a major gap in what we know about obesity. It was a huge involving undertaking, three long-running studies that separately and collectively reached the same conclusions. It shows how behavior combines with heredity to affect how fat we become. Having many of these genes does not guarantee people will become obese, but if they drink a lot of sugary beverages, “they fulfill that fate,” said an expert with no role in the research, Jules Hirsch of Rockefeller University in New York. “The sweet drinking and the fatness are going together, and it’s more evident in the genetic predisposition people.” Sugary drinks are the single biggest source of calories in the American diet, and they are increasingly blamed for the fact that a third of U.S. children

Fulton pointed out a few distinguished fall decorations, such as the blue rhubarb squash and Cinderella pumpkins, which, of course, look like they’re straight out of the Disney film. Coming soon are hayrides out to the pumpkin patch, which will be a big hit with families, said Fulton’s granddaughter, Hannah Karnehm. “We’re expecting to have a lot more people this weekend because that’s when we start the hayrides to the pumpkin patch,” she said of the first weekend, Sept. 29-30. “They can real-

ly get a taste of fall and being on a farm. I can remember being like 2 and going on a hayride and picking out my pumpkin.” Fulton Farms, 2393 Ohio 202, is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The hayrides run about every 10-15 minutes until 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Rides during the week must be scheduled in advance. The cost for rides is $7, which includes a pumpkin and a host of other festive activities, such as a corn maze, located behind the market. Seasonal treats also will be for sale during the next few weeks, including pumpkin, apple and applecinnamon shakes. “Depending on whether it’s hot or cold, we’ll also have apple slushies or apple cider,” Karnehm said. • Visit fultonfarms.com for more information on crops and activities.

The Obama campaign accused Romney anew of profiting from millions invested overseas and “loopholes and tax shelters only available to those at the top.” Apparently hoping to resolve basic questions voters might have, the Romney campaign also released a letter from his accountants saying that in the 20 years prior to 2010 the Romneys paid an average annual effective rate of 20.2 percent, never lower than 13.66 percent. On average, middle-income families those making from $50,000 to $75,000 a year pay 12.8 percent of their income in federal taxes, according to Congress’ Joint Committee on Taxation.

Another set of secondgraders, Patty Gentis’ class, were learning how to read hand signals while driving tractors. Granted the students were having a good time riding toy tractors while being directed on how to slow down, or if they are too far or too short, for example, via hand signals. “They seem to know a lot of the rules already,” Gentis said of her students who were eager for the

safety program and a chance to get outdoors. While a final group of elementary students were under the direction of Simon for his power line safety awareness presentation “We are very fortunate this year to have the Pioneer Rural Electric here,” said Carity, who stated the students would take part in a hunter safety awareness program Friday before the football game that was to feature several environmental and wildlife-related organizations.

Dance • Continued from 1 the student body because things got out of hand,” Monnier said. “(Last year’s dance) was fun, but you didn’t really notice inappropriate stuff going on but you knew it was happening.” The policy includes a “dance policy,” which includes that each student must: have both of their feet on the floor while dancing; have their hands visible and not on the floor; dance partners must face each other; and sexually suggestive dancing is unacceptable. “Basically you don’t want to do anything that you’d want the faculty to see,” Monnier said. “Because of the new dance rules, you just turn in a paper that is signed before we (student government) can sell you a ticket.” The dance policy must be signed by both the student and a parent before a ticket will be sold to the student. Monnier said attendance at last year’s MidWinter dance was down a little bit, but for the most part, dances still are popular with fellow students. “People will want to go to the dances and with the rules, well, they’ll get used to it,” Monnier said. Bornhorst said basically students should have in mind that dancing shouldn’t push the limit and to act as if one was dancing at a family wedding. “I don’t think the rules are that strict,” Bornhorst said. “Every dance is what you make it — if you want to have fun, you will.” Bornhorst said the rules are “definitely different” but overall, the change isn’t that big of a deal. “People have basically got over it by now,” Bornhorst said. “The biggest annoyance is make sure you get your paper signed and all the paperwork,” Monnier said. Senior A.J. Bigelow said he was indifferent to the rules and that some dances were “really bad,” in reference to suggestive dancing his first two years at high school. “They are better now,” Bigelow said. “I don’t like them, but, I’ll still go.” Bigelow noted that he has been looking forward to next Saturday’s Dance, Homecoming where traditionally seniors dress up in Halloween costumes. This year, Bigelow will be dressed up as “The Big Bad Wolf ” and his date will be “Little Red Riding Hood.” “It’s fun rites of passage like dressing up for Halloween for homecoming as a senior that makes it special,” Bornhorst said. “For me, it’ll be one of my favorite memories from high school.” Now with a dance policy firmly in place, those memories don’t have to come to a grinding halt. Troy High School Principal William Overla said the policy was put in place last year in order to ensure student safety and guidelines for appropriate dress and behavior. “We want them to have fun. They know that when they come here, they are to respect themselves and others and act accordingly,” Overla said. “Students know what is expected of them during the school day and during special events. Dances are for them to enjoy and they can enjoy themselves in a respectable manner.”

wealth is estimated at perhaps $250 million, is aggressively competing with Obama for the support of middle class voters. Obama’s own tax return for last year showed that he and his wife, Michelle, paid $162,074 in federal taxes on $789,674 in adjusted gross income, an effective tax rate of 20.5 percent. Their income plunged from $1.7 million in 2010, with declining sales of the president’s books. In 2009, the Obamas reported income of $5.5 million, fueled by the best-selling books. The Romneys’ tax bill could have been lower. For the year, they claimed a deduction for $2.25 million of their $4.021 million in charitable contributions, said Brad Malt, trustee of the candidate’s blind trust. The Romneys gave $2.6 million in cash to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the documents show.

and teens and more than two-thirds of adults are obese or overweight. Consumption of sugary drinks and obesity rates have risen in tandem both have more than doubled since the 1970s in the U.S. But that doesn’t prove that these drinks cause obesity. Genes, inactivity and eating fatty foods or just too much food also play a role. Also, diet research on children is especially tough because kids are growing and naturally gaining weight. Until now, high-quality experiments have not conclusively shown that reducing sugary beverages would lower weight or body fat, said David Allison, a biostatistician who has done beverage research at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, some of it with industry support. He said the new studies on children changed his mind and convinced him that limiting sweet drinks can make a difference.

That adds weight to the push for taxes, portion limits like the one just adopted in New York City, and other policies to curb consumption of soda, juice drinks and sports beverages sweetened with sugar. Soda lovers do get some good news: Sugar-free drinks did not raise the risk of obesity in these studies. “You may be able to fool the taste” and satisfy a sweet tooth without paying a price in weight, said an obesity researcher with no role in the studies, Rudy Leibel of Columbia University.

Milton-Union to ask voters for funding 10.9-mill renewal levy on November ballot BY JOHN BADEN Ohio Community Media editorial@tdnpublishing.com Voters who reside in West Milton can expect to see a levy renewal for Milton-Union Schools on the November ballot. First passed in 2003, the 10.9-mill operating levy is up for its second renewal. The previous renewal in 2008 got support from about 56 percent of village voters. Superintendent Ginny Rammel insists that the school really needs the 5year levy renewed for operating purposes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The renewal has nothing to do with the new building,â&#x20AC;? Rammel said. Rammel said that two newsletters will be sent out in October to explain to residents how they use the money and what they have done in the past to reduce expenses.

Demolition update According to Treasurer Chuck Klein, construction workers are putting a fence around the old elementary and middle school buildings and will be on site next week. Klein said that the buildings will come down fast and that the process of removing the rubble from the site is projected to be finished on Dec. 11. The former high school building is still being used for football locker rooms, so no action will be taken on that until the football season had ended. Board member Larry Dehus said that the high schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demolition will not begin until sometime after the start of 2013. While Milton-Unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former school buildings are being torn down, the practice fields will be kept for future use as will the

WEST MILTON schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memorial Stadium. After the demolition is complete, the school will lease the elementary and middle school parking lot to the village for recreational use. According to Klein, ideas for a skate park and a splash pad have been tossed around, but the village still needs to raise the money to implement one of the two choices. After the high school building is torn down next winter, Klein said that area will feature a parking lot for sporting events and a recreational area.

On campus While destruction is looming at the old location for Milton-Unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education, some construction is going on at three sites on the new Milton-Union School campus. At the east end of the football field, locker rooms for the Bulldogs and the away team are being built. Two concession stands with restroom areas are also being built at the west end of the football field and also between the soccer fields and football field. Dehus said that the work is on schedule and will be finished by the end of November. As a result of moving out of their previous location, Rammel said that â&#x20AC;&#x153;a whole lot has changedâ&#x20AC;? with busing and dropping students off at school. At the new location, buses and parents use different entrances and exits for dropping students off, which Rammel said that divers find much safer. One change that has been challenging for drivers to remember on Milton-

Promoting the community This was the first time the school board of education, city council and Union Township all met together in a joint meeting. At the center of the meeting was the desire to promote the community and grow West Milton in size and business. Rammel encouraged the three groups to put on their thinking caps and come up with ways to bring businesses and people to the city of West Milton. Among the things that were brought up was the Brickhouse CafĂŠ. The restaurant is currently looking to expand its business by bringing in live music at night and including dinner with alcohol. As a result, the restaurant is pursuing a liquor license, which will be on the November ballot. Manager Municipal Matt Kline, who longs to see businesses increase in West Milton, said that the restaurant will not expand if the liquor permit is not supported by residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important for this to pass, so the project happens,â&#x20AC;? Kline said. Another upcoming event for the city is MiltonUnion Schoolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ribbon cutting ceremony at 1 p.m. Oct. 14. The event will take place outside in front of the media center entrance. If it is raining, it will take place inside the gym.

But the EPA has appealed the judge’s ruling, and that should make it clear Congress needs to step into the situation. In January 2011, the EPA took an outrageous, unprecedented action. It revoked a surface mining permit the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had granted four years previously. This March, U.S. District Judge Amy B.

But following discussion at the Republican National Convention, there is concern that the deduction could go away. It’s a legitimate concern, if that really is the case. If you eliminate the deduction entirely, all of a sudden millions of people will see their tax bills go up by potentially thousands of dollars or more. It’s thousands that people clearly cannot afford, based on the number of people filing foreclosures and unable to pay property taxes. Luckily, even though Republicans didn’t say in their platform they would protect the deduction at all cost, they said, “We strongly support tax reform; in the event we do not achieve this, we must preserve the mortgage interest deduction.” In that case, with a simpler tax code, even though homeowners wouldn’t get a big bump in their checking account after tax day, it would mean more money in their paychecks throughout the year, because less money would come out initially. As long as the bottom line ends up the same for homeowners, that is OK. It’s vital, that in the end, homeowners’ taxes — especially those for the middle class — should come out the same with or without the deduction. If that is not possible, then keep the deduction.

DOONESBURY

Five seriously awesome holidays we’re missing out on The other day I was perusing my Facebook while I tried everything under the sun to get my 2year-old daughter to sleep. Unfortunately, because she’s beyond hyperactive and can’t seem to stop moving, she has this problem of doing anything and everything it takes to keep herself awake, including, but not limited to: slapping herself, scratching herself, pulling her hair or singing some ridiculous song she just made up. This usually results in the two of us laying back and reclining in our big, new, cushy rocking chair, while I coax her into falling asleep. So while I was trying my best to trick her into falling asleep, I started noticing an alarming trend among my Facebook friends. They were saying things like “ahoy” and “scallywag” an awful lot. Apparently, this past Wednesday was International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Makes sense, I guess. Except for the fact that it has been around since 1995 and I have never even heard of it. I couldn’t help but wonder, what other holidays are out there that I didn’t realize existed?

Amanda Stewart Troy Daily News Columnist Turns out, a lot, like practically one every day a lot. While browsing the list of the other holidays people celebrate throughout the world, I came across five of my personal favorites; days that are so utterly baffling I feel like you, dear reader, would be seriously missing out on life if you didn’t participate in said day. First and foremost, this coming Friday is basically the best day ever. It’s so awesome that I think people celebrate this day more than once a year. Sept. 28 is National Ask a Stupid Question Day. It started back in the ’80s when teachers suspected students weren’t asking questions because they feared they sounded stupid. So by dedicating one day solely to “stupid questions,” teachers showed their classes that there

— Ann Beach Troy

was no such thing as a stupid question. Personally, I think the verdict is still out on that one. You’ll be relieved to know we’re less than a month away from a holiday that should be renowned worldwide, National Bologna Day. With a plethora of vegan bologna options (because really, how hard is it to mock a deli meat made from a bunch of spare animal parts), I have a feeling this might top my husband’s favorite holiday list. Who needs Thanksgiving when you can celebrate bologna? As if a holiday that celebrates a hodge podge of deli meat isn’t good enough, the end of November rings in a day I’m certain everyone will be a fan of, well, except for maybe your boss. Nov. 30 is National Stay at Home Because You are Well Day! While the origin of this holiday is unknown, it’s creation is credited to some folks at a website that promotes mental and emotional wellness. What’s better for your mental and emotional well-being than playing hooky for a day and doing something fabulous for yourself? Although I’m not sure what the protocol for this day is if you’re sick. Apparently you’re stuck going to work in that case.

December is full of plenty of fun holidays, from National Bathtub Party Day to Put on Your Own Shoes Day, but perhaps my favorite would have to be National Chocolate-Covered Anything Day. Do I even need to explain this? Cover something in chocolate and eat it. Awesome, awesome day. And last but not least, once you’ve finished ringing in the new year and coming up with your resolutions, might I suggest you dedicate a day to your houseplant? I recommend Jan. 10, which has been donned National Houseplant Appreciation Day. Whether you give it a little treat in its water or spend the morning serenading it, just make sure that once you’re done toasting 2013 you show that special houseplant in your life a little extra attention. Perhaps these days seem silly to most, they did to me at first, but in a world that can be so full of such negativity, isn’t it nice to think that we have something to celebrate (even if it’s silly) every single day? Amanda Stewart appears Saturday in the Troy Daily News. She’s proud to share her birthday with National Reach as High as you Can Day.

Kroger adds clothing to shopping list in Ohio NEW YORK (AP) — Add a pair of blue jeans to the grocery list. Starting Friday, shoppers at a remodeled Kroger store in Ohio will be able to buy clothing in addition to food, gas and furniture. The nation’s largest traditional supermarket chain says it will be the first time one of its namesake stores sells clothing. “It’s a one-store test. We’ll see how that goes and make decisions based on customer feedback,” said Keith Dailey, a spokesman for The Kroger Co. The test comes as traditional supermarkets struggle to compete with bigbox retailers such as Target Corp. and Wal-Mart

Stores Inc., which have expanded their food sections and draw shoppers with low prices. Traditional supermarkets now account for 51 percent of grocery sales, down from 66 percent in 2000, according to UBS Investment Research. To hang onto customers, Kroger has been working to improve the shopping experience and differentiate itself from the pack. For example, the company has cut down on checkout wait times and offers a loyalty program that offers customers discounts base on their past purchases. In select locations, it also has “cheese masters,” or associates who wear red jackets and offer cus-

tomers expertise on cheese selections. The clothing section at the Kroger Marketplace in Mansfield, Ohio, will have shoes, jewelry and underincluding garments, brands such as Skechers, Hanes and Levi’s. Kroger’s “Marketplace” locations are larger than its typical grocery stores, and sell car parts and furniture in addition to groceries. Dailey said the development of Kroger Marketplace has been helped by the company’s acquisition of Fred Meyer in 1999. Those stores already sell shoes and clothing. Kroger, based in Cincinnati, also operates Ralphs, Fry’s, Food 4 Less.

Bond at risk for Amish defendants CLEVELAND (AP) — Nine of 16 Amish convicted in beard- and hair-cutting attacks on fellow Amish in Ohio have remained free, but the government asked Friday to have them locked up, which could leave up to 50 children with one or both parents behind bars. By law, “Detention is mandatory for these defendants,” the government said. But prosecutors hedged, saying their strong recommendation for pre-sentence lockup of three of those most involved in the crimes would leave only one family with both parents in jail, not four. U.S. District Court Judge

Dan Aaron Polster, who presided at the Cleveland trial, gave defense attorneys until Thursday to argue for continued bond for the six women and three men. Polster has scheduled sentencing for Jan. 24. Ring leader Sam Mullet Sr., 66, faces up to life in prison and the lowest sentencing range for those out on bond is 17 years, the government said. The defense plans to appeal the convictions. Brian Pierce, attorney for Elizabeth Miller, 38, the mother of 11 and married to defendant Lester Miller, 37, said he would appeal for leniency in view of her big family and lack of any prior

criminal record. Having both parents in prison poses “an extreme family hardship,” Pierce said before the prosecution filing. “They need to make arrangements in the event she is incarcerated.” Lester Miller, Raymond Miller and Linda Schrock were the three whose continued freedom on bond was opposed by prosecutors. Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla, whose office has investigated Mullet’s community for years, said Friday he had received calls from relatives outside the community offering to care for the children if their parents go to prison.

THOMAS I. KISER GEORGETOWN — Thomas I. Kiser, 90, of 2003 Veterans Blvd., Georgetown, Ohio, a former Anna resident, passed away Thursday, Sept. 20, 2012, at 11:45 p.m. at the Georgetown Ohio Veterans Home. He was born on Sept. 9, 1922, in Piqua, Ohio, the son of the late Harry and Mary (Fonder) Kiser. On Dec. 7, 1941, he married Helen Schmidt, who preceded him in death Nov. 11, 1998.

He was preceded in death by five brothers and one sister. Mr. Kiser was a World War II Army Air

Corps veteran. He retired as a group leader from the former Stolle plant in 1983 after 31 years of service. He also served as treasurer for the Shelby County Republican Party.

Movie questions hell as place of eternal torment NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — How can a loving God send people, even bad people, to a place of eternal torment? A new documentary struggles with questions of punishment and redemption and how culture affects and shapes Christian beliefs about God and the Bible. Coming in the wake of controversy over Rob Bell’s 2011 hell-questioning book “Love Wins,” which put hell on the cover of Time magazine, and treading some of the same ground, filmmaker Kevin Miller believes the debate about the nature of hell is not academic. In an interview after a Nashville screening of “Hellbound?” Miller said he believes our ideas about hell have a real-world effect on the way we live our lives and the way we relate to others. Perhaps popular theologian Brian McLaren best expresses that thought in the movie when he says, “If I believe that a small percentage of human beings were created to enjoy bliss eternally and another group of beings were created to experience eternal conscious torment, then I look at human beings differently than if I say, ‘Every human being was made in the image of God. Every human being is

AP PHOTO/KEVIN MILLER XI PRODUCTIONS INC.

This photo provided by Kevin Miller XI Productions Inc. shows exorcist Bob Larson, left, at work in a scene from the film “Hellbound?” The documentary, which premiered last week in Nashville and opens Friday in New York, digs deeper into the modern Christian theological debate over hell and who’s going there. beloved by God. God is at work to save every human being.’” McLaren’s position is contrasted with that of Seattle megachurch pastor Mark Driscoll, who explains that, in his view, “God created the world and people chose to rebel against him. And God came and died to save some of them from the death they deserve.” Mainstream Christian ity, especially evangelical Christianity, tends to promote some version of that

view, which includes the idea of hell as eternal torment. Miller briefly mentions the view that those unsaved by Jesus will simply perish, called annihilationism. But the filmmaker seems to lean toward a view that holds out hope that hell exists but may not be eternal, that God wants to be reconciled to all people, and that the reconciliation can happen even after death. Bell was called heretical

by some critics for promoting a similar view in “Love Wins.” In the film, Missouri’s International House of Prayer Director Mike Bickle says that to promote the idea that the grace of God is available in hell, or universalism, “is the worst crime that a preacher of the Gospel could say to the world.” But Miller seeks to show that the view is not out of line with Christian tradition.

Catholic apologist Peter Kreeft says the Catholic church leaves the question somewhat open. “That there is a hell and that anyone can go there by their free choice, that’s dogma,” he says. “That there’s anybody in it and how many people are in it, nobody knows.” Orthodox Archbishop Lazar Puhalo emphatically asserts, “God doesn’t send anybody to hell. God doesn’t punish anybody, either in this world or the world to come.” In his view, “hell is a condition, not a place. The malice we feel is the fire that burns.” Miller bookends the film around the 9/11 tragedy, saying events like the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center are the reason people need to believe in hell as a place of punishment for bad people, like Osama bin Laden or Adolf Hitler. But Christian author Brad Jersak reminds the audience that common Christian belief teaches that Hitler isn’t the only one going to hell. “If we’re strict infernalists, the victims of Auschwitz who didn’t have their names written in the book of life go right from

Hitler’s flames into God’s flames, forever and ever and ever,” he says. Miller is from Canada, but his religious upbringing probably would be more common for an American. He calls himself a recovering fundamentalist, although he said has great respect for the “ladies who put their heart and soul” into teaching him about the Bible. He grew up in the mainline United Church of Canada but joined the Mennonite church as teenager. He went to a Mennonite Bible college and spent some time in an interdenominational seminary. He attended several nondenominational evangelical churches before becoming an Anglican. Miller said he considers himself a sophisticated reader of the Bible but never gave much thought to hell before he edited a book on the subject several years ago. The controversy surrounding Bell’s “Love Wins” helped him frame the debate for the movie and some of the interview subjects are Bell’s most significant critics and supporters. Miller says his film is primarily aimed at a religious audience.

ELIZABETH TOWNSHIP — Elizabeth Township’s oldest church, McKendree United Methodist, 2025 DaytonBrandt Road, is planning its celebration to observe its 200th anniversary with a special homecoming service Oct. 14. The event will include Sunday school at 9:30 a.m. and morning worship with special music at 10:30 a.m. A lunch will be provided by the church will immediately follow the worship service. After lunch, participants will gather in the sanctuary for sharing memories and favorite hymns. Participants are invited to attend and share memories, pictures and mementos from McKendree’s past. The congregation goes back to 1812 when several families traveled to the area from Giles County, Va. The McKendree Society, named for a beloved bishop from Virginia was organized with 21 members and for 20 years worshiped in a log cabin built by William Mitchell on land owned by Samuel Mitchell. A frame church was later deeded to the Methodist Episcopal Church by the Mitchell family. When the frame structure became too small, the church was moved to New Carlisle as a residence, and a brick replacement church was built in 1853. Destroyed by fire in 1951, the church was restored the following year and rededicated. An educational unit was added in 1963. An interesting part of the church’s history is the stained glass windows, which have had to be replaced several times due to theft and fire. The brick structure from 1853 is still in used today as the main sanctuary.

Brethren, 4817 State Route 202. The Tipp City Community Band will perform in memory of Sandy Whitaker, who started the community band, along with Gail Ahmed, more than 25 years ago.

Can religion save Africa’s elephants? Poachers escalating assault NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Standing before a pile of charred elephant ivory as dusk covered the surrounding savannah, Christian, Muslim and Hindu religious leaders grasped hands and prayed. Let religion, they asked, help “God’s creatures” to survive. Poachers are escalating their assault on Africa’s elephants and rhinos, and conservationists warn that the animals cannot survive Asia’s high-dollar demand for ivory tusks and rhino horn powder. Some wildlife agents, customs officials and government leaders are being paid off by what is viewed as a well-organized mafia moving animal parts from Africa to Asia, charge the conservationists. Seeing a dire situation grow worse, the animal conservation group WWF is enlisting religious leaders to take up the cause in the hopes that religion can help save some of the world’s most majestic animals. “We are the ones who are driving God’s creatures to extinction,” said Martin Palmer, secretary-general of the Britain-based Alliance of Religions and Conservation. Palmer spoke during Thursday evening’s prayer at a site in Nairobi National Park where Kenyan officials burned hundreds of ivory tusks in 1989 to draw attention to the slaughter of elephants. Although the park has no elephants, it hosts 221 rhinos. “We are the ones who can change the way Africa works,” Palmer said. Dekila Chungyalpa, the director of WWF’s Sacred Earth program, argues that the killing of elephants, rhinos and Asian tigers the three animals WWF is most concerned about is a moral issue. She said that conservationists are not doing well enough getting the anti-poaching message across, and that new strate-

We Pay the Highest Prices for Gold,

gies such as religion must be tried. “Faith leaders are the heart and backbone of local communities. They guide and direct the way we think, behave and live our lives,” she said, adding later: “I think this is the missing piece in conservation strategies. … WWF can yell us much as we want and no one will listen to us, but a religious leader can say ‘This is not a part of our values. This is immoral.’” Three dozen religious leaders from nine African countries toured Nairobi National Park on Thursday, where they saw rhinos, zebras, buffalo and ostriches all within site of the skyline of Kenya’s capital city. One of the safari vans held a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim and a Buddhist, which spawned efforts to create some sort of wildlifethemed religious joke. During a more serious conversation, Hamza Mutunu, a Muslim leader from Tanzania, argued for the animals. “The general message is that taking care of the wildlife is part and parcel with our religion,” he said. “We have a duty from the Prophet Mohammed. … Taking care of wildlife is within our religion.” Preetika Bhanderi, who is with the Hindu Council of Africa, said: “Hindu’s backbone is non-violence toward everything that has life. That means animals, and people, of course.” Charles Odira, a Catholic priest from Kenya, said religious leaders can help spread the message effectively given the moral authority and standing they have in African communities. “Just as when we talk about Jesus Christ, when we say (from the pulpit) that animals are part of God’s community, an impact will be made,” he said.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Readers respond to letter from ‘Bob’ Dear Annie: May I, a male in his 70s, respond to "Bob," who said that aging, obese, snoring and unhealthy women are the reasons for bedroom problems? Perhaps in his home, but not in ours. I can't pinpoint exactly when intimacy began evolving into something deeper, but when I retired, I became so appreciative of this woman who, for more than 30 years, managed our home and family and always ensured that my life was as comfortable as possible. I show my love and thanks by having her coffee ready each morning and performing household labor. I don't mind that her body has added weight (so has mine). I compliment her continuing beauty, magnificent heart and kindness to others. — Kathy's Grateful Husband Dear Grateful: Bless your heart. We were overwhelmed with mail from men and women, agreeing and disagreeing with Bob. Read on for a tiny sample: From Kentucky: "Bob" is right. Men don't look at obese women walking by. But you won't see a woman taking a second look at an obese man, either. The majority of obese people have chosen that course by eating too much. Name Withheld: When I was 58, my wife decided that I should get my testosterone checked. I did — and happened to mention that my wife had put on an extra 50 pounds. Boy, did I get an earful on the way home. Women are wired differently. They equate sex with love. Most men feel that sex is a physical thing. All this, and I still love my wife very much. Florida: Women of America, please ignore this pathetic loser. This jerk is an embarrassment to all decent men. Plenty of men have laughable beer bellies and think watching golf and NASCAR is exercise. Greencastle, Pa.: I'm female and am repulsed by obese women. Recently, I watched a large friend eating ice cream. She doesn't understand why she can't get a man interested in her. Boston: Bob left out the most important part. In the darkness of one's bedroom, one can be in bed with a fantasy. But no amount of testosterone will make it any easier to kiss the lips that have been yelling at you all day long. California: I'm a 52-year-old man, married for 31 years. I enjoy talking to my wife on the phone, but lose my libido as soon as I see her. Men are visually stimulated. I have even searched dating sites looking for sex. Bob is correct: The women on the dating sites are single because they are fat. Ohio: A man marries a woman for two reasons: She knows how to treat a man and looks fine, and she is kind and courteous and knows her place. Tannersville, Pa.: I always get a kick out of the ED commercials in which the woman is slim and attractive. Why don't they show the real slob the man goes home to after working all day? They should be marketing blindfolds, not drugs. Louisiana: I was married to a morbidly obese man and found his body revolting. He was a wonderful lover, but we had sex in the dark, and I tried not to look at him below the neck. Massachusetts: Women haven't cornered the market on laziness and obesity. It just seems that women are more likely to overlook these faults than men. So when your wife wants sex, just shut your eyes and imagine someone hot. She's been doing that for years. From a Nurse: According to Kaiser State Health Facts, 71.2 percent of adult men in the country are overweight or obese compared to 57 percent of adult women. People are more likely to become overweight if the environment they live in is conducive to unhealthy eating and inactivity. Married people tend to live in the same environment. Each partner should be willing to help and support the other to reach healthy goals and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

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. YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Tip can help quell the musty smell of books Dear Heloise: I came across a box of old books that I would like to keep, but they have a musty smell. Is there any way to remove it? — A Reader in Texas This is a common question, and being a collector of old books, it is a problem I’ve often encountered. Many times the musty smell is just from age. Take some baking soda (not for antique or rare books) or cornstarch and sprinkle between the pages. When done, slip the book into a plastic bag (large zipper bag) and place in a cool, dry place. Let sit for about a week

Hints from Heloise Columnist or so. When the week is up, brush out the powder. Repeat, if necessary. CAUTION: Never place baking soda on damp books. Once the musty smell is gone, store your books carefully. If they are older, heavy or extra-large books, they should be stored flat on their side.

Storing them upright can damage the pages and crack the spines. — Heloise ADHESIVE BANDAGES Dear Heloise: As time goes on, skin can get thinner, and unfortunately, we have to wear more and more bandages (with blood tests, etc.). The tape can be really hard to peel off. A good way is to hit the tape with your hair dryer for a quick minute, as this will melt the adhesive, and the tape will come off without taking your skin with it. — David McNair, Jackson, Miss. A good hint to use along with that is baby, olive or even

vegetable oil to help remove the bandage and residue. Here’s how: Simply soak a cotton ball in one of the oils and apply to the bandage, allowing it to soak the area. Let it sit for a few minutes, then gently try to remove the bandage. If it doesn’t come off right away, apply a little more oil and try again. There are adhesive removers available. Compare brands, because there seems to be quite a price difference. When you have blood drawn, etc., ask the health-care provider what he or she recommends. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Sunday, Sept. 23, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Very likely, some details about your private life will be made public today. Just be aware of this so that you can do some damage control. Be extra aware of everything you say and do. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Try to do something different today, because you’re restless for adventure. Go someplace you’ve never been before. Talk to people from other backgrounds or different cultures. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It will please you to clear away a few loose details about inheritances, taxes, debt, bills and such. Do something that gives you a warm feeling of satisfaction afterward. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Because the Moon is directly opposite your sign today, you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. This is no big deal. Easy peasy. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Set aside a bit of time today to get better organized at home and at work. Even 15 minutes can make a difference. You need to psychologically tidy up your life. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Plan a little escape where you can play today. Take a long lunch. Grab a movie. Watch sports or enjoy playful times with children. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) If you can find some private time at home today, it will please you. Discussions with a parent or a relative will be significant. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You have a strong desire to communicate with others today. Perhaps you want to enlighten someone about something? Either way, short trips and discussions with others will please you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Focus on your cash flow today. Make friends with your bank account. Find out just how much money you don’t have. (Information is power.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is your lucky day (in a minor way), because the Moon is in your sign. Therefore, ask the universe for what you want, because you just might get it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Focus on private matters today. You even might want to hide a little or stay out of the limelight. (It’s that kind of day.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Discussions with others, especially a female friend, could be significant for you today. Share your hopes and dreams with others to get their feedback. It will be helpful. YOU BORN TODAY Challenges never deter you, because you know you can surmount them. Furthermore, you know you come out stronger and wiser. Your sense of adventure is what propels you through life; plus, people love you because you are seductively charming. Furthermore, you like to be personally involved in everything. Your coming year is the beginning of an exciting new cycle. Open any door! Birthdate of: Bruce Springsteen, singer/songwriter; Julio Iglesias, singer; Anneliese van der Pol, actress/singer.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Saturday, Sept. 22, the 266th day of 2012. There are 100 days left in the year. Autumn arrives at 10:49 a.m. Eastern time. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 22, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, declaring all slaves in rebel states should be free as of Jan. 1, 1863.

On this date: In 1776, during the Revolutionary War, Capt. Nathan Hale, 21, was hanged as a spy by the British in New York. In 1911, pitcher Cy Young, 44, gained his 511th and final career victory as he hurled a 10 shutout for the Boston Rustlers against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Forbes Field. In 1961, the Interstate Commerce Commission issued

rules prohibiting racial discrimination on interstate buses. In 1964, the musical “Fiddler on the Roof” opened on Broadway, beginning a run of 3,242 performances. In 1975, Sara Jane Moore attempted to shoot President Gerald R. Ford outside a San Francisco hotel, but missed. In 1980, the Persian Gulf conflict between Iran and Iraq erupted into full-scale war that lasted nearly eight years.

Our New Adventure

The Space Shuttle Endeavour atop a modified 747 lands at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday in Los Angeles. Endeavour will be permanently displayed at the California Science Center in Los Angeles.

Endeavour tours state before landing at LAX LOS ANGELES (AP) — The people became the paparazzi Friday, aiming their lenses not at the latest starlet, but toward the sky to catch a glimpse of an aging superstar headed for retirement. It was the space shuttle Endeavour, zigzagging around California where it was born and where it will spend its golden years as a museum showpiece. From the state Capitol to the Golden Gate Bridge to the Hollywood sign, thousands of spectators pointed their cellphones and cameras skyward as the shuttle, riding piggyback atop a 747 jumbo jet, buzzed past. “It made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. It was historic, momentous,” said Daniel Pifko, who rode by motorcycle to a hilly peninsula north of San Francisco to snap a few pictures of the iconic bridge. Across California, throngs swarmed rooftops for one last glimpse of Endeavour airborne. Parents pulled their kids

out of school. Some became misty-eyed, while others chanted “USA! USA!” as the shuttle soared overhead. Gina Oberholt screamed for joy when she spotted Endeavour from a scenic overlook in Los Angeles. She felt a bit nostalgic because her uncle had worked as a shuttle technician. “I’ve always had a special place in my heart for the shuttle program,” she said. Known as the baby shuttle, Endeavour replaced Challenger, which exploded during liftoff in 1986. Endeavour rolled off the assembly line in the Mojave Desert in 1991 and a year later, rocketed to space. It left Earth 25 times, logging 123 million miles. Friday’s high-flying tour was a homecoming of sorts. After a nearly five-hour loop that took Endeavour over some of the state’s most treasured landmarks, it turned for its final approach, coasting down the runway on the south

side of the Los Angeles International Airport, where elected officials and VIPS gathered for an arrival ceremony. As the jumbo jet taxied to the hangar, an American flag popped out of the jet’s hatch. Endeavour will stay at the airport for several weeks as crew prepare it for its final mission: a 12-mile trek through city streets to the California Science Center, its new permanent home, where it will go on display Oct. 30. NASA retired the shuttle fleet last year to focus on destinations beyond lowEarth orbit. Before Endeavour was grounded for good, Californians were treated to an aerial farewell.

CAUTION 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. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

Allmendinger Reinstated The first phase of his comeback complete, an optimistic AJ Allmendinger is ready to get on with his life. He’s hopeful that includes another job in racing. Allmendinger on Tuesday was reinstated by NASCAR, which said he successfully completed its rehabilitation program after testing positive for a banned substance. The process took a little over two months, and Allmendinger said he learned a lot about himself while participating in the “Road to Recovery” program. “I knew I didn’t have a problem, I knew it was a one-time mistake,” Allmendinger told The Associated Press. “I’m going to use the word “educated” because I feel like I was educated on a lot of things and a lot of things about myself.”

No Drama Dale Earnhardt Jr. insists that he’ll be able to ignore the family drama at JR Motorsports when he gets behind the wheel at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday. He’s had plenty of practice. The son of the Hall of Fame driver, who left the team founded by his father and run by his stepmother, is once again trying to separate family from business. Last week he fired his uncle, Tony Eury Sr., as competition director for JR Motorsports, and this week his cousin, Tony Eury Jr., also left the Nationwide Series team.

Positive outlook Sadler, Patrick optimistic

No Guarantee Denny Hamlin said he never intended to guarantee a victory this weekend in the NASCAR race in New Hampshire. After running out of fuel to finish 16th in the Sprint Cup opener at Chicago last week, Hamlin tweeted, “This is week 1 of 10. We will win next week.” But speaking before qualifying at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Friday, Hamlin said he just meant he was looking ahead, not backward. “I said it as basically another way to say, ‘We’ll get them next week,’” Hamlin said.

Jeff Gordon celebrates with his team after winning the pole position for Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, N.H., Friday.

Chance to rebound? Gordon, Kenseth hope to bounce back in Chase By The Associated Press It doesn’t take long for the pretenders to be separated from the contenders in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Sometimes, through bad luck or mediocre performance, a driver leaves the Chase opener sentenced to an also-ran status for the remainder of the season. This season may be an anomaly — the field is too stacked to start crossing names off the list of legitimate title contenders. That could be good news for Matt Kenseth and Jeff Gordon, who each had mechanical problems in the Chicago opener. Kenseth had a shock fall off his car, Gordon crashed after his throttle stuck and the two head to Round 2 of the Chase in New Hampshire ranked 11th and 12th in the standings. “I think even Jeff Gordon, even though he had a disappointing finish, he still can’t count himself out,” said defending champion Tony Stewart. “Everybody can have a bad race, so it’s way too early to predict after one race.” There’s usually room for a mulligan in the Chase: Stewart limped to a 25th-place finish last year in Round 3 at Dover and still won the title. Jimmie Johnson overcame not only a 39th-place finish in the 2006 Chase opener, but also a crash at Talladega. An early crash at Texas in 2009 led to a 38th-place finish, and he still won his fourth title. And in 2010, he opened with a 25th-place finish and rallied over the remaining nine weeks for his fifth-straight

championship. So nobody is expecting the champion to have a flawless 10-race run. “You’re probably going to see guys having a little bit of trouble here and there,” said Greg Biffle. “I think with this field, people are going to be climbing back in this game because other guys may have trouble or may have a mediocre race and a guy wins. I think there will probably be more guys in it for a longer period of time in this Chase.” Those at the bottom of the standings have no time to waste. “If those same guys continue to have trouble, that might start eliminating a few,” said Biffle, who counts himself among those needing a strong rebound this Sunday at New Hampshire. He was the points leader at the end of the “regular season” but opened the Chase in fifth after the field was re-seeded based on bonus points. He figured a strong race at Chicago would push him back into the points lead, but he struggled all weekend and had to settle for a 13thplace finish. It cost Biffle another three spots in the standings. “It was an unfortunate race for us. We felt like we were going to be on the money there and we just ended up off a little bit,” he said. “It’s a very, very tight points battle going on right now, so we know a couple good finishes and we’re going to be right back in the top three in points.” Biffle finished third at New Hampshire in the second Chase race a year ago; he was ninth at the track when NASCAR stopped there in

July. Kenseth, his Roush Fenway Racing teammate, is in a deeper hole. His 18th-place finish Sunday marked the third consecutive year Kenseth opened the Chase with a finish of 10th or worse. And New Hampshire hasn’t been all that good to him of late. He was 13th there in July, but has just one top-10 in his last nine starts. “Loudon has been a place that I’ve struggled at, but our goal is to get a good clean run on Sunday in order to make up some of our position in the point standings that we lost last weekend at Chicago,” Kenseth said. And then there’s Denny Hamlin, who isn’t in danger of falling out of title contention just yet. He was disappointed after running out of fuel late at Chicago his gas man didn’t get the tank full on the final stop and it cost Hamlin a top-10 finish. After opening the Chase as the points leader, Hamlin’s 16th-place finish dropped him to fifth in the standings. Only 15 points behind Chicago winner and new points leader Brad Keselowski, Hamlin is confident about his chances. “This is 1 week of 10. We will win next week,” Hamlin tweeted. Maybe he will. Hamlin might have won at New Hampshire in July if not for late race miscommunication with crew chief Darian Grubb, who changed four tires when Hamlin only wanted two changed. The longer pit stop dropped Hamlin deep in the field, and despite a frantic final push, he finished second to winner Kasey Kahne.

SPARTA, Ky. (AP) — Elliott Sadler and Danica Patrick both enter Saturday’s Kentucky 300 optimistic — just for different reasons. Sadler finished ninth in his previous trip to Kentucky Speedway, his second top-10 in as many starts here. He believes those performances can help him begin erasing a nine-point deficit to Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and reclaim the NASCAR Nationwide Series lead he held the previous 14 weeks. Patrick is eager to start a new chapter with crew chief Ryan Pemberton after spending much of her Nationwide career with Tony Eury Jr., who left JR Motorsports on Monday. She finished 12th here in June and feels she can do better the second time around. Saturday will mark the first fall Nationwide date for the 1.5-mile oval. Sadler aims to take full advantage. “Mile-and-a-halfs have always been good to me,” said Sadler who has four victories and 19 top-10s this season. “I have a pretty decent record (on those tracks) and that’s the biggest thing. “I like those racetracks and like the feel they give me, and it just fits my driving style. It’s just a place I feel real comfortable on. We should be fine there.” Sadler’s outlook might also have to with avoiding catastrophe last week at Chicago, another 1.5-mile oval. His No. 2 Chevrolet could have ended up in the wall and he might have posted a DNF (did not finish) when the right front tire delaminated during the Dollar General 300. Sadler instead caught a break when a caution came soon after, allowing him to change tires, finish eighth and stay within reach of Stenhouse with seven races remaining. “It threw us for a loop, but it could’ve been way worse,” Sadler said. “It’s not the finish we wanted, but it could’ve been way worse and we’d be worse off than what we really are. “Nine points is not a lot and we have seven races to go. There’s still a lot of miles to be raced and anything can happen.”

IndyCar finishes off tough year with good weekend By The Associated Press A new champion, improved racing, at least two top team owners calling for harmony for the sake of the series — IndyCar wrapped up a very trying year with a successful final weekend. That doesn’t means there isn’t trouble ahead. IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard planned to meet Thursday with the board of directors to begin working in earnest on the 2013 season. Among the issues

expected to be resolved is the race schedule, which Bernard wants to announce by Oct. 1. Trouble is, rumblings of an attempted team owner-led coup against Bernard followed IndyCar right through Saturday night’s finale at Fontana, and Bernard’s ouster as CEO remains a very serious topic. Roger Penske, the most powerful owner in openwheel racing, threw his support behind Bernard last weekend at Auto Club Speedway.

“There’s always a twoyear itch by the car owners, and we spent more time (this year) worrying about parts prices then how we can build the series,” Penske said. “Overall, I think Randy has brought a lot to the series. I know some of the people maybe think he hasn’t, but at this particular time, he’s our leader. I’m supporting him.” There was a similar sentiment from team owner Chip Ganassi, who stopped short of endorsing Bernard but said his IndyCar

brethren were part of the problem. “I don’t like people to point the finger at challenges and issues we have; I like people with solutions,” Ganassi said. “We say, ‘It’s that guy’s fault. He’s the reason it’s good. She’s the reason it’s good. He’s the reason it’s bad.’ Rather than pointing the finger at television ratings or CEOs or family politics, let’s point the finger at what we need to do to make this better. “Let’s point the finger at

what needs to be done instead of pointing the finger at the same old people or the same old problems.” And so it’s the same old conversation in IndyCar, and it is threatening to spoil what should be a banner moment for the series. IndyCar’s season ended last year with a horrific 15car accident that killed Dan Wheldon in the season finale. The death of the popular two-time Indianapolis 500 winner rocked the series to its core, and the healing process is ongoing.

Missed chance Reds fall in 10 CINCINNATI (AP) — Matt Kemp’s two-out single with the bases loaded in the 10th inning sent the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 3-1 victory Friday night that denied the Cincinnati Reds on their first chance to clinch the NL Central. The Dodgers won for only the fifth time in 15 games and moved two games behind St. Louis for the final NL wild card. They also trail Milwaukee by a half-game in the wild-card race. Cincinnati was trying to lock up its second division title in three years without manager

Troy’s Miles Hibbler breaks free on a carry Friday night at Miamisburg.

Lightning strikes At least the Troy football team has plenty of practice at this. For the second time this season, lightning forced a postponement of a Troy football game, this time against Miamisburg at Harmon Field. The game will resume at 11 a.m. today — there will be no admission charge for today’s game. Friday night, Troy and

MIAMISBURG Miamisburg made to halftime before the storms rolled in. Miamisburg will take a 7-0 lead into today’s second half, with the Vikings set to receive the second half kickoff. If there is a bright side to the postpone, Troy tailback Miles Hibbler will get a full night’s rest before going into the second half. In the first two quarters of action, Hibbler carried the ball on 20 of Troy’s 30 offensive

Troy had a pair of drives go deep into Miamisburg territory — yet failed to score on either drive. Down 7-0, Troy took over at its own 20 and gave the ball to Hibbler on eight-straight plays and he pounded it all the way down to the Viking 32. The drive stalled at the Viking 28, however, thanks in part to a

NEW YORK (AP) — Melky Cabrera ended the debate over whether a suspended drug cheat should be able to win a batting title. The San Francisco outfielder asked Major League Baseball officials to disqualify him and on Friday they agreed. With less than two weeks left in the regular season and Cabrera on track to win the National League batting championship, MLB and the players’ association reached a deal on a one-seasononly change in the rule governing the individual batting, slugging and on-base percentage champions.

Action halted Full slate of games suspended Staff Reports CASSTOWN —The “Backyard Brawl” turned into more of a mud fight. And then the lightning came. Still, Miami East’s Colton Holicki scored a pair of rainslogged touchdowns in the first quarter, while Bethel struggled to move the ball at all, giving the Vikings a 14-0 lead with 1:24 left in the first quarter before persistent lightning caused the game to be suspended until tonight. The Vikings started off strong — but also got a little help — on the opening possession. After a 10-yard run by Michael Fellers on the firs play from scrimmage, the Bee defense buckled down and forced a punt on fourth-and2 from its own 47-yard line. But a flag for leading with the helmet on Bethel kept the drive alive. Miami East quarterback

Notre Dame hopes to tie Michigan’s Shoelace SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Denard Robinson has left Notre Dame feeling helpless. Two years ago, the Michigan quarterback known as Shoelace burst into the national spotlight with 502 yards of total offense and scored the game-winning TD with 27 seconds left against the Fighting Irish. Notre Dame did a better job last season, until the fourth quarter. The Wolverines scored 28 fourth-quarter points, including two touchdown passes in the final 72 seconds by Robinson. It was a

memorable third straight last-minute victory by the Wolverines over the Irish. So after seeing Robinson gut the Notre Dame defense for 944 yards total offense in two games, Irish coach Brian Kelly just wants to limit the damage inflicted by the guy he describes as “the best player on the field.” “There’s no easy answer. I can’t tell you there’s one thing that we can do against Denard Robinson,” Kelly said. “You’re going to have to give up a couple of things. You have to minimize the

big plays against a young man like this.” Take away the 87-yard TD run Robinson had against the Irish in 2010 the one where he took the snap in the shotgun, ran right between two Irish defenders and raced untouched for the longest TD run ever in Notre Dame Stadium and perhaps the Irish win. Take away a 77-yard completion late to Junior Hemingway in the third quarter last season, with Irish defensive end Kapron LewisMoore wrapped around Robinson’s legs, starting the Michigan comeback,

and perhaps the Irish win. “Some people still give me a hard time about that play,” Lewis-Moore said. “But he’s really hard to bring down. He’s really shifty. You just have to keep him contained.” But how? Kelly compares playing Robinson to playing an option offense, saying the key is playing disciplined and making sure each player does his job. “Because if you’re not in your proper fit, he’s going to go 70 yards,” Kelly said. Kelly also doesn’t want to try to make the defense too complicated, saying

■ College Football

keeping it simple allows the Irish to play fast. “I didn’t want to get into this and try to out think what we need to do,” Kelly said. “It’s going to be about tackling Robinson in space, doing a very good job of getting off blocks, and obviously being disciplined in what we ask you to do,” The Irish slowed Robinson for most of the first three quarters last season, when he was 3-of13 passing for 59 yards pass before completing the long pass to Hemingway. But then Robinson broke free in the fourth quarter, completing 7-of-10 passes

for 202 yards with three TD passes and a fumble recovery for a touchdown. Kelly is confident the Irish defense is better this season. Through three games the Irish have given up just 30 points, the fewest points in the opening three games of a season since giving up 27 points in 1988 en route to the national championship. The 866 total yards by opponents are the fewest in the first three games since 2002, which is the last time the Irish were 3-0. The Irish haven’t allowed a rushing touchdown this season.

girls On different levels Tipp win CBC title OSU, UAB are two teams with opposite goals COLUMBUS (AP) — There are wins and then there are small victories. Garrick McGee has to settle for the latter. In his first season as the coach at UAB, he’s trying to upgrade a program that has struggled in the transition in the public’s perspective from sneaky-good basketball power to big-time football contender. He knows he doesn’t have as much talent as No. 16 Ohio State does coming into Saturday’s game at Ohio Stadium. So McGee measures a season in incremental improvements. That’s what you do when your team is 0-2 and a 37-point underdog. “It is really hard, because there is no evidence with the wins and losses,” he said of the small steps forward his team has already made despite losing 39-29 to Troy and 49-6 last week at No. 8 South Carolina. “If you really study the film and really study the guys’ technique and their understanding of the game plan on offense and defense, the way they communicated, got lined up, recognized formations — they weren’t out of control. There are a lot of small wins that happened, especially in the first two and a half quarters of the (last) game.” McGee, a former assistant at Northwestern and Georgia Tech among other stops, is hoping his team can just make a decent showing, maybe score some points, and learn from the experience of performing before 105,000 hostile fans.

Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller dives across the goal line during a game against California Sept. 15 in Columbus. The Buckeyes (3-0), on the other hand, will use the game as their final tune-up before embarking on Big Ten play. Their standard is considerably different from UAB’s. Asked if this is a difficult week for his players, finishing up the appetizers against a winless team before getting on to the main course at Michigan State, coach Urban Meyer pointed to all of the things his team was doing wrong. “If we were playing great, it would be, because you would see a team overlooking a team,” Meyer said. “Absolutely not. We’re going to play hard because we practiced real hard. You

can only control what goes on around here.” That’s one thing both coaches share. Both know their teams have to get better. Despite scoring 41 points a game, the Buckeyes have actually had a wild ride through three home games. They’ve had trouble getting to quarterbacks at times and have missed a ton of tackles, in addition to being too reliant on quarterback Braxton Miller’s legs on offense. Plus, the special teams haven’t had any impact on a game so far. “I told people after the game, when we’re good, we’re pretty dang good,” offensive coordinator Tom Herman said. “We just have to be good more often.” Defensive coordinator Luke Fickell is clearly miffed at giving up a series of long-gainers. “(You can’t) make a habit of it every week you make an excuse and you say, ‘Man, if you just take away three runs,’” Fickell said a week after the Buckeyes surrendered touchdown carries of 81 and 59 yards and a 36-yard pass play. “You know what? You can’t take away those plays. The only way you can is to play better.” Playing better is the mantra for UAB, too. McGee inherited a program with high hopes and low tradition. The Blazers are riding a string of seven straight losing seasons and

have just three winning records and only one bowl game since jumping to the Football Bowl Subdivision in 1996. They know what they’re up against, at least. “Playing a Top 10 team was an eye-opener to show us that it’s going to be a challenge wherever we go,” linebacker Shaq Jones said of the game in Columbia, S.C. “It’s not going to be a walk through the park. It’s not high school football where you run around and make easy tackles. You have to execute your technique properly in order to succeed.” Miller will put pressure on Jones and his fellow defenders, threatening to either run or pass. It’s a dilemma for most teams, particularly so for a young team with little margin for error. If they take a step up to stop the speedy quarterback, he might just pull up and throw to a corps of improving receivers. Although there’s very little chance that UAB could shock the world, all McGee wants to see is improvement as his team attempts to take another step toward respectability. “We saw that (South Carolina’s) players are just like us, which made us try to play at a higher level,” he said. “(That) was a big venue. We want to carry our intensity into this week. We are looking forward to a different outcome at the Horseshoe.”

Furyk leads by 1 at Tour Championship ATLANTA (AP) — Jim Furyk, the only American on the Ryder Cup team without a win this year, put himself in position Friday to join them. Furyk made seven birdies through 10 holes at East Lake including seven 3s to start the round until he missed a few greens on the back nine that slowed his momentum. He wound up with a 6-under 64, giving him a one-shot lead over Justin Rose going into the weekend at the Tour Championship. As for anyone questioning whether Furyk should have been a pick for the Ryder Cup? He was more bothered by missing a 5-foot par putt on the 18th hole than what anyone thinks about his game or being in the Ryder Cup for the eighth straight time. With 16 wins, including a U.S. Open, and having qualified for every U.S. team since 1997, Furyk stopped believing he had to prove himself a long time ago. All he cares about is winning the Tour Championship, with an outside shot at the FedEx Cup title and its $10 million bonus. Furyk was at 7under 133 on a course where he won just two years ago. Rose, who shared the 18-hole lead with Tiger Woods, made four birdies on the back nine and holed a 6-foot birdie putt on the 18th for a 68. Woods went the other direction. He was right in the mix when he made the turn,

despite a double bogey on the eighth hole, But a series of bad swings that put him in bad positions led to four bogeys on the back nine, and Woods had a 73. It was his worst score at East Lake in 14 years, dating to a 76 in the second round in 1998. He was six strokes behind. Bo Van Pelt made three bogeys on the last four holes and still had a 68 that put him two shots behind at 135, along with Masters champion Bubba Watson (66). Dustin Johnson, who had to summon his college teammate from Coastal Carolina to caddie for him when his regular had back problems, had a 67 and was another shot back, along with Georgia Tech alum Matt Kuchar (69). Rory McIlroy, who is leading the FedEx Cup after winning the last two events, made an eagle on the 15th that turned around his fortunes. He had a 68 and was only four shots behind. • Navistar LPGA Classic PRATTVILLE, Ala. (AP) — Defending champion Lexi Thompson shot a 3under 69 to take a onestroke lead into weekend play in the Navistar LPGA Classic. The 17-year-old Thompson had a 12-under 132 total on the links-style Senator course at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail’s Capitol Hill complex. She matched the tournament record Thursday with a careerbest 63.

Rainouts ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 Bethel went three-andout again and punted the ball away, giving the Vikings the ball on their own 49-yard line right before the first lightning strike was visible. The game will resume at 7 p.m. tonight at Miami East. Tippecanoe-Ben Logan Ppd. BELLEFONTAINE — Tippecanoe and Ben Logan got the opening kickoff in before lightning halted action Friday night. The game will be played at 10 a.m. today at Ben Logan. Madison-Milton Ppd. WEST MILTON — M i l t o n - U n i o n ’s Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division opener had to wait. The Bulldogs and Mohawks watched lightning postpone Friday night’s game.The score was tied 7-7 with 5:27 left in the first quarter. It will resume today at 2 p.m. at Memorial Stadium.

Covington-TC North Ppd. LEWISBURG — TriCounty North’s offense tried to get going against Covington. But it was North’s punter who got the majority of the work before lightening halted the game Friday night. The Buccs blitzed the Panthers early and often, taking a 34-0 lead in the second before play was stopped due to lightening — which is where the game will pick up today at 11 a.m. The Buccs fumbled on their first possession of the game, but North could do nothing with it as the Covington defense forced a punt. The Buccs returned the punt past midfield, and the drive culminated with a 12-yard touchdown run by A.J. Ouellette with just over five minutes to play in the first. Troy Cron scored minutes later on a 53-yard run following another North punt. Cole Owens nailed the point after

attempt to put the Buccs up 14-0. The Panthers, though, mounted an offensive attack on the next series, gashing the Bucc ‘D’ for a few big plays to reach midfield. But a penalty pushed North back to a third-and17, and once again led to a punt. The Buccs led 14-0 at the end of one. Once the second kicked into gear, Cron struck again for Covington — running into the end zone for another TD with 10:09 left in the quarter. The Buccs went up 28-0 with six minutes remaining in the second, thanks to another Ouellette touchdown run. Ouellette scored once again in the quarter to push the Buccs lead to 34-0 before the game was stopped. Riverside-Lehman Ppd. SIDNEY — Lehman managed to get a quarter in before the lightning and storms hit and the Cavaliers made the most of the limited time, scoring on all three possessions to

take a 19-0 lead over Riverside in Northwest Central Conference action at Sidney Memorial Stadium. The game will be resumed at 10 a.m. at Lehman High School. After the Pirates went three and out on their first possession, the Cavs marched down the field, picking up 58 yards on four carries, including a 36-yard burst by Andrew Adams and a 13-yard carry from Andrew Gilardi. Gilardi then went into the end zone from a yard out to make it 6-0 at the 7:34 mark. Lehman needed just four plays to extend the lead to 12-0 after getting the ball on the Riverside 33. Following two Gilardi runs of 20 and two yards, quarterback Nick Rourke found Adams on the right for an 11-yard touchdown pass with 5:05 remaining in the period. Adams struck again to give the Cavaliers a 19-0 lead as he ran it in from a

yard out with 14 seconds left. In all, the Cavaliers recorded 128 yards of offense in the quarter compared to nine for the Pirates. Bradford-Ansonia Ppd. ANSONIA — Bradford and Ansonia never got started Friday night. The Railroaders and Tigers will play today instead. The game starts at noon. Piqua-Springboro Ppd. SPRINGBORO — The Springboro football team showed why they are the top-ranked Division I team in the state Friday night, jumping out to a 34-0 lead on Piqua at halftime, before they game was postponed by lightning. The game will be resumed at 10 a.m. today at Care Flight Stadium, followed by two quarters of JV football. The freshman game will be played at Piqua as scheduled. Three pivotal plays in

the early going set the tone for the first half. After Springboro took over on its 31 followed the opening kickoff in the Spielman Gridiron Classic, the Piqua defense had two chances to get off the field. On a third and six from its own 35, the Panthers Rahman Hardin ran for 20 yards and a first down. Then, in the same series, Springboro had a third-and-14 from the Piqua 36. Quarterback Jack Schaad hooked up with back Kyle running Longworth for a 12-yard gain and Longworth ran for seven yards on fourth-andtwo to extend the drive. Hardin ran it in from 15yards out, before Dom Stone blocked the PAT kick. Piqua started on its own 21 and on the second play, the Indians had a receiver in the flat open, with no Springgboro defenders in sight. But, the ball fell incomplete and Piqua could do little the rest of the half.

Trojans

Still far, far apart

■ CONTINUED FROM 17 delay of game penalty on the Trojans. Midway through the second quarter, Troy took over on its own 19 and again started feeding the ball to Hibber. On first 10 from the and Miamisburg 41, Hibbler broke off a 40-yard run, taking the ball all the way down to the Miamisburg 1. Again, however, the drive stalled, as three runs by Hibbler and one by quarterback Joe Benson — who was filling in for injured starter Matt Barr — actually went backwards, with the Trojans turning the ball over on downs at the

Miamisburg 4-yard line. meanMiamisburg, while, made the most of its one scoring opportunity. After a 17-yard punt on the Trojans’ drive to open the game, the Vikings took over at their own 47 and went 53 yards in nine plays, scoring when Joe Dunham ran the ball in from 3 yards out. This is the second time this season a Troy game has been postponed by lightning. In Week 2, Troy’s game against Xenia at Troy Memorial Stadium was postponed by lightning. It was finished on a Saturday afternoon at Ferguson Field in Troy.

Reds ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 Dusty Baker, still in a Chicago hospital. The 63year-old Baker was hospitalized on Wednesday with an irregular heartbeat. The Dodgers loaded the bases in the 10th off Sam LeCure (3-3), who hit Elian Herrera to open the inning. First baseman Joey Votto tried for a forceout on A.J. Ellis’ sacrifice, but skipped his throw and both runners were safe. After Nick Punto’s bunt, Mark Ellis walked to load the bases. Sean Marshall fanned

Andre Ethier and got ahead 0-2 in the count to Kemp, who singled to right for his third hit of the game. Ronald Belisario (8-1) pitched two perfect innings, fanning five. Brandon League worked the 10th for his fourth save in four opportunities. The Reds will get two more chances to clinch today. The Cardinals play in Chicago at 1:05 p.m. EDT, where a loss would give the title to the Reds about the time their 4 p.m. game against the Dodgers was starting.

Cabrera ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 Cabrera entered Friday with a league-leading .346 average, seven points ahead of Pittsburgh’s Andrew McCutchen. Cabrera, the All-Star game MVP, was suspended Aug. 15 for a positive test for testosterone and is missing the final 45 games of the regular season. “He was just manning up and saying he was wrong,” said McCutchen, who is four points ahead of San Francisco’s Buster Posey. “It was man of him to do that. I guess he thought that was the right thing to do, and I commend him for doing that.” Cabrera had 501 plate appearances, one short of the required minimum, but would have won the title under section 10.22(a) of the Official Baseball Rules if an extra hitless at-bat were added to his average and he still finished ahead. With Friday’s agreement, that provision won’t apply this year to a player who “served a drug suspension for violating the Joint Drug Program.” The process for the

change was set in motion Wednesday evening when Cabrera’s agent, Seth Levinson, sent an email to union head Michael Weiner with an attached letter from Cabrera in English and Spanish. “I ask the Players Association to take the necessary steps, in conjunction with the Office of the Commissioner, to remove my name from for the National League batting title,” Cabrera wrote in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press. “To be plain, I personally have no wish to win an award that would widely be seen as tainted, and I believe that it would be far better for the remaining contenders to compete for that distinction,” Cabrera wrote. “So too, the removal of my name from consideration will permit me to focus on my goal of working hard upon my return to baseball so that I may be able to win that distinction in a season played in full compliance with league rules. To be plain, I plan to work hard to vindicate myself in that very manner.”

Dispute between locked-out officials, NFL not over NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL and its lockedout officials met the last two days but remain far apart in settling their dispute, a person familiar with the negotiations said Friday. The person briefed The Associated Press but requested anonymity because the negotiations are intended to remain private. The person added in the email that no progress has been made and no further talks are scheduled. The NFL locked out the regular officials in June and has been using replacements as the season enters its third full weekend. Many players, coaches and fans have been upset with what they say is poor officiating. The NFL has warned teams that it won’t tolerate confrontational behavior toward the new officials. The NFL locked out the regular officials after their contract expired. Negotiations with the NFL Referees Association broke down several times during the summer, including just before the season. This is the first time the league is using replacements since 2001. The collection of small college officials working the games has drawn tough criticism from those on the field. Monday night’s game between Atlanta and Denver underlined the matter, with Broncos coach John Fox and defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio engaging in heated arguments with officials. In response, the league, according to NFL.com, said Thursday night that senior NFL officials called

Denver Broncos head coach John Fox gestures while speaking to officials during the first half against the Atlanta Falcons, in Atlanta. The numbers say there isn't much difference between NFL games worked by the regular officials and the ones being worked this season by their replacements. Comments from players and coaches say otherwise. owners, general managers and coaches from all 32 teams to tell them that respect for the game demands better conduct. NFL executive vice president Ray Anderson noted “unacceptable behavior” and added “we’re not going to tolerate it.” He said flags, fines and suspensions are possible for coaches or players who cross the line. “There’s no doubt the integrity of the game has been compromised not having the regular officials out there,” Giants

linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka has said. “We’ve got to get that taken care of.” What the fans seem most annoyed with is the lack of pace to games, notably Monday night’s win by the Falcons that dragged on past midnight. The NFL has said that it is trying to upgrade the officiating through training tapes, conference calls and meetings. The league and the NFLRA, which covers more than 120 on-field officials, are at odds over

salary, retirement benefits and operational issues. The NFL has said its offer includes annual pay increases that could earn an experienced official more than $200,000 annually by 2018. The union has disputed the value of the proposal, insisting it would ultimately reduce their compensation. “We just all hope, and I’m speaking on behalf of all 31 other head coaches, we hope they get something done,” Rams coach Jeff Fisher has said. “We’re trusting that they will.”

Jim Brown: A Cleveland Brown forever AVON (AP) — After a two-year split, Jim Brown wants to reunite with the Cleveland Browns. The Hall of Fame running back, who had been estranged from the organization after he was relieved of his duties as a senior advisor, attended an alumni golf outing Friday and said he hopes to have a new role with the team. “I am forever a Cleveland Brown,” he said. Walking without pain and better than he has in years following two hip replacements, the 76-yearold Brown spent nearly 30 minutes speaking with reporters on a number of topics. And as always, Brown had plenty to say.

Brown said he’ll meet Saturday with incoming owner Jimmy Haslam III, who recently purchased the Browns for $1 billion from Randy Lerner. Brown would like to have a hand in developing “a new winning attitude” with the Browns, and is looking forward to meeting with Haslam to discuss a possible future with the club. “What an opportunity to be able to sit down with him,” Brown said. “It’s a beautiful thing.” Brown has missed being involved with the team he helped make famous. “I miss being around,” he said. “I would love to have a role with the Browns. I think that’s what every ex-player would like

to do most of all, to be a contributor to the success of an organization that he was a player that brought a certain amount of success. I’m stuck with being No. 32 for the Cleveland Browns. I can’t do anything about that and I don’t’ want to do anything about it. “We are married because of that history. And if I can be a part of the development of a new winning attitude and help get some victories, that would be fantastic. “Imagine having a championship team here again?” Brown also plans to meet this weekend with team president Mike Holmgren, who reached out to the franchise’s career

rushing leader and unquestioned greatest player in hopes of welcoming him back to the team. Holmgren had been the one who had changed Brown’s role as an advisor to Lerner. Brown said he didn’t have any problem with Holmgren, and the two “didn’t have much of a confrontation.” Holmgren also said he was looking forward to meeting with Brown. “He’s one of my longtime idols,” Holmgren said before watching the Browns practice Friday in Berea. “He’s a very, very important part of this organization and I’m really very happy he’s coming in for the weekend and I hope to get a chance to visit with him.”
