Food pantries visits jump Rosalinde Block receives $241 a month in food assistance for her and her 18-year-old son, to add to the money coming in from the piano lessons she teaches and the art commissions she gets. In one of the world’s most expensive cities, it’s not enough.

“That goes pretty fast,” said Block, 59, of the amount she got for September, “it was already gone by the 12th or the 15th.”

So Block, who lives on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, adds to it with visits every other month to a food pantry in nearby Harlem, where she’ll get some chicken or milk, or some ingredients for soup or a few other meals. It’s been like this for a couple of years.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Raising prospects for a major election-year ruling, the Obama administration launched its Supreme Court defense of its landmark health care overhaul Wednesday, appealing what it called a “fundamentally flawed” appeals court decision that declared the law’s central provision unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court almost always weighs in when a lower court has struck down all or part of a federal law, to say nothing of one that aims to extend insurance coverage to more than 30 million Americans.

The bigger question had been the timing. The administration’s filing makes it more likely that the case will be heard and decided in

U.S. man arrested for plot BOSTON (AP) — A man was arrested Wednesday and accused of plotting an assault on the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol using remote-controlled aircraft armed with explosives — the latest of several terrorism cases to spring from federal sting operations.

Rezwan Ferdaus was arrested in Framingham after undercover federal agents delivered materials he had allegedly requested, including grenades, six machine guns and what he believed was 24 pounds (11 kilograms) of C-4 explosive. Federal officials said the public was never in danger from the explosives, which it said were always STAFF PHOTOS/ANTHONY WEBER under control and closely More than 300 area students including Miami East High School freshman Cody Reid, center, study a soil pit monitored.

Wednesday during a district soils competition held at the Batdorf Farm.

Wednesday’s arrest was similar to other cases in which would-be terrorists were caught in sting operations that revolved around fictional plots against various targets, such as Dallas skyscapers or a Chicago nightclub. In this case, though, authorities allege Ferdaus planned the scheme.

According to a federal affidavit, Ferdaus, 26, became convinced that America was evil through jihadi websites and videos, and began planning “jihad” against the U.S. in early

Telephone messages were left at the office of his attorney, Catherine Byrne, and at the address listed for Ferdaus in the affidavit.

Ferdaus allegedly planned to use three remote control airplanes measuring about from 60 inches (152 centimeters) to 80 inches (203 centimeters) in length.

The planes can fly up up to 100 mph (160 kph) and carry up to 50 pounds (22 kilograms).

Ferdaus allegedly said he was skilled in operating remote vehicles, and wanted to hit the Pentagon and blow the Capitol dome to “smithereens.” He then planned a follow-up automatic weapons attack with six people divided into two

Cafes Schweser said he was opposed to “the gambling part” of Internet cafes, saying during the meeting, “I don’t know that this is a good fit for the city of Troy.”

In Internet cafes that offer sweepstakes games, players “buy time” on computers to play online computer games that look like video slots.

Players can win more Internet time and points that have no cash value, but the points give them chances in sweepstakes where they can win money.

Cafe operators say the sweepstakes are legal in Ohio because they have a pre-determined outcome — similar to scratch-off lottery games.

• CONTINUED FROM A1 A six-month moratorium is the maximum length allowed, but the city would come back and ask for an extension if the issue is not satisfactorily cleared up after 6 months, Titterington said in response to questions from committee members.

Titterington said “dozens of other communities” across the state have passed similar moratoriums while they await legal opinions and direction from the state. It’s unclear when opinions or guidelines would come from the Attorney General’s office.

Cantaloupe illnesses and deaths expected to rise CDC. “But if you can’t confirm it’s not Jensen Farms, then it’s best to throw it out.”

Jensen Farms of Holly, Colo. says it shipped cantaloupes to 25 states, though the FDA has said it may be more, and illnesses have been discovered in several states that were not on the shipping list.

A spokeswoman for Jensen Farms said the company’s product is often sold and resold, so they do not always know where it went. The recalled cantaloupes may be labeled “Colorado Grown,” ”Distributed by Frontera Produce,” ”Jensenfarms.com” or “Sweet Rocky Fords.” Not all of the recalled cantaloupes are labeled with a sticker, the FDA said. The company said it shipped out more than 300,000 cases of cantaloupes that contained five to 15 melons, meaning the recall involved 1.5 million to 4.5 million pieces of fruit.

The FDA said none of the cantaloupes had been exported, reversing an earlier statement that some of the tainted melons had been shipped abroad.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal health officials said Wednesday more illnesses and possibly more deaths may be linked to an outbreak of listeria in cantaloupe in coming weeks.

So far, the outbreak has caused at least 72 illnesses — including up to 16 deaths — in 18 states, making it the deadliest food outbreak in the United States in more than a decade.

The heads of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration said consumers who have cantaloupes produced by Jensen Farms in Colorado should throw them out. If they are not sure where the fruit is from, they shouldn’t eat it.

Neither the government nor Jensen Farms has supplied a list of retailers who may have sold the fruit. Officials say consumers should ask retailers about the origins of their cantaloupe. If they still aren’t sure, they should get rid of it.

“If it’s not Jensen Farms, it’s OK to eat,” said Thomas Frieden, director of the

teams, according to the affidavit.

At one point, according to recorded conversation detailed in the affidavit, Ferdaus told undercover agents that his desire to attack the United States was so strong, “I just can’t stop. There is no other choice for me.”

According to the affidavit, Ferdaus traveled to Washington, D.C., in June to do surveillance, and drew up a 15-phase attack plan.

He also allegedly rented storage space to work on the planes in Framingham, telling the manager he planned to use the space for music.

Asked at one point about possibly killing women and children, Ferdaus allegedly said all unbelievers of Islam were his enemies.

Prosecutors also allege that Ferdaus supplied the undercover agents with cell phone devices he said could be used to remotely detonate explosives.

When the undercover agents falsely told him the devices had been used to kill three U.S. soldiers in Iraq, he allegedly became visibly excited and said he felt “incredible. … We’re changing the world.”

Rezwan is unmarried and has no children, the affidavit said.

He had one previous brush with the law. In 2003, The Boston Globe reported that he and two other Ashland High School seniors were accused in a vandalism spree at the school.

Repeating arguments it has made in courts across the country in response to many challenges to the law, the administration said Congress was well within its constitutional power to enact the insurance requirement. Disagreeing with that, the 26 states and business group said in their filings that the justices should act before the 2012 presidential election because of uncertainty over costs and requirements.

On the issue of timing, their cause got an unexpected boost from retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, who said voters would be better off if they knew the law’s fate law before casting their ballots next year.

The 91-year-old Stevens said in an Associated Press interview that the justices would not shy away from deciding the case in the

middle of a presidential campaign and would be doing the country a service.

“It would be better to have that known about than be speculated as a part of the political argument,” Stevens said in his Supreme Court office overlooking the Capitol.

Though the Atlanta appeals court struck down the individual insurance requirement, it upheld the rest of the law. The states and the business group say that would still impose huge new costs.

In another challenge to the same law, the federal appeals court in Cincinnati sided with the administration. The law would extend health coverage mainly through subsidies to purchase private insurance and an expansion of Medicaid. The states object to the Medicaid expansion and a provision forcing them to cover their employees’ health care at a level set by the government.

The individual insurance mandate “indisputably served as the centerpiece of the delicate compromise that produced” the law, according to the states, with Florida taking the lead.

PERSPECTIVE

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

— First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Akron Beacon Journal Practically every Ohioan knows by now about John Kasich’s deep mine of enthusiasm. … (A)t the end of his energy summit in Columbus, the governor declared there is no need for another. This was the best summit ever, he gushed.

What was particularly encouraging was the tone the governor struck from the start.

He talked about the need for a cohesive strategy, stakeholders bridging differences, the state taking a diverse approach, with room for traditional fuels such as coal and natural gas, plus renewable and other alternative sources, and a commitment to energy efficiency.

No surprise that the prospects for oil and gas drilling in the state’s deep formations of shale captured much attention at the energy summit.

This drilling must be done right, with care for the environment and public health, for unintended consequences. Already geologists have reduced their estimates for shale formations to the east. Put another way, all of the excitement now gives way to the difficult task of pulling together the cohesive, concrete and comprehensive strategy the governor rightly wants Ohio to achieve.

The Cincinnati Enquirer It might be tempting to dismiss President Obama’s visit to the Brent Spence Bridge as a political ploy that has little to do with replacing the obsolete span and quickly creating jobs in the process.

But that misses the point.

Our area — our entire nation — needs a modern bridge here to keep vital commerce flowing on I-71/75. Anybody who lives in this region or travels through it knows that.

The direct attention given to the Brent Spence Bridge through Obama’s visit, along with his earlier jobs speech, is giving a fresh start to a long-term, $2.4 billion project that may be nowhere near “shovelready” but is only going to become more expensive the longer we wait to take the first steps to actually build it.

The controversy around Obama’s focus on the Brent Spence — yes, even that his administration chose it as a symbol to “stick it” to House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in their own back yards — is galvanizing this community to come together and talk seriously about moving the project along. There’s a new urgency about it. There’s more focus on how the bridge projects fits in with the region’s other development goals. There’s a fresh determination to just start doing it.

And that may be the best thing to come out Obama’s visit.

The Lima News Given the state of uncertainty about the economy, you’d think a U.S. senator would be celebrating the fact that any companies are hiring, not seeking to punish those that are. But not Sherrod Brown.

Ohio’s first-term Democratic senator is pushing legislation to make it illegal for companies to “discriminate” against the unemployed when hiring. Brown is cheerleading for President Barack Obama, who included this provision in his American Jobs Act. Unemployment remains high. Brown acknowledged the obvious last week: The best way to get the economy back on track would be to get more people working. To help achieve that, government officials should be getting out of the way, not implementing new punitive measures against those few companies fortunate enough to be adding workers though not in the way Obama and Brown want.

But they cite a report from the National Employment Law Project that found some companies refuse to hire the unemployed.

But those few companies that don’t want to hire the currently unemployed could have very good reason. Chief among them is the costs and time necessary to bring up to speed someone who’s been out of work for an extended time.

Government shouldn’t be adding layers of red tape on companies that are trying to hire. Obama and Brown would do more to help an economic recovery by instead working to get government out of the way.

DOONESBURY

How I got into the White Castle Hall of Fame Through my job, I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing dozens of hall of famers.

I’ve interviewed hall of fame baseball players (former Cincinnati Reds Joe Morgan and Tony Perez). I’ve interviewed college football hall of famers (Ohio State’s Eddie George and the University of Dayton’s Mike Kelly). I’ve interviewed pro football hall of famers (Deion Sanders — although I interviewed him as a baseball player).

I’ve interviewed hall of famers who are no longer with us (Bob Ferguson, College Football Hall of Fame) and those who would appear to be destined for the hall of fame once their playing careers are over (San Diego Charger offensive lineman Kris Dielman and Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning).

I’ve interviewed hall of fame players, coaches and officials. I’ve talked to local, state and national hall of fame inductees.

Chances are if there’s a hall of fame out there, I’ve probably either met or spoken with someone who is in it — particularly (but not necessarily limited to) the world of sports.

One thing I never expected to do, however, was actually ever be inducted into a hall of fame.

David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor Let’s face it, with my limited skill set, there’s not a whole lot of hall of fames available to me.

There aren’t a multititude of halls of fame out there willing to throw their doors open for a guy whose greatest assets in life are an encyclopedic knowledge of Troy High School football, the ability to play video games for eight hours at a time, send text messages from his cell phone really fast and eat vast amounts of fast food.

Or so I thought.

I’ve been eating White Castle hamburgers my entire life.

Pretty much every Fong family road trip involved, at some point, a trip to a White Castle to consume ungodly amounts of those delicious sliders. For me, eating at a White Castle has always been about much more than filling my ever-expanding gut with

— John Martin Troy

a dozen or so cheeseburgers — it’s been about harkening back to my childhood and sharing meals with my parents and my four brothers and sisters.

White Castle isn’t a fast food joint — it’s a way of life.

Last spring, White Castle CEO Bill Ingram and his wife Marci made a $10 million donation to autism reasearch. Their son, Chris, has been battling autism for 14 years. Two years ago, my wife Michelle and I learned our son, Maximilian, was autistic. We probably went through many of the same emotions as the Ingrams when they found out their son was autistic — namely, fear and uncertainty.

For me, hearing about the Ingrams’ donation was like two separate worlds colliding. Here was a family who had not only given me years of both delicious sliders and fond childhood memories, but now also was donating $10 million to help fight a disorder with which my son was afflicted.

So I wrote a column thanking the Ingrams not only for their delicious hamburgers, but also for their kind donation. I mailed the Ingrams a copy of my column, along with a thank you note five months ago. At the

time, I just wanted to thank them for what they had done — and figured that was the end of it.

Until last week, when I received a call from the White Castle corporate offices, telling me that Ingram had read my column and that next month, I am going to be inducted into the White Castle Cravers’ Hall of Fame in Columbus. When I wrote that column, I had no intention of receiving any sort of honors — I just wanted to thank a man who had given my family so much over the years — and, though his donation, would continue to keep giving to my family well into the future.

But I’ll gladly accept this honor next month in Columbus.

For me, this honor is more about my family — particularly my son Max — than it is about myself. I’ll keep loading up on White Castles — I have a feeling they are going to be seeing a lot of me when a White Castle opens in Tipp City eventually.

But when I do, I’ll be doing it as a hall of famer.

Troy’s very own David Fong appears on Thursdays in the Troy Daily News. White Castle has the taste some people can’t live without.

complications and said counterterrorism cooperation must improve.

“I have no argument with anyone who says this is a very difficult and complex relationship because it is,” Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told reporters at the State Department. “But I also believe strongly that we have to work together despite the difficulties.”

At the White House, press secretary Jay Carney said Mullen’s statement was “not language I would use.”

But he said the comment is “consistent with our posi-

tion” and tried to dismiss questions about it as a “matter of semantics.”

He reiterated that the Haqqani network has safe havens in Pakistan and Pakistan needs to take action to address that.

Pentagon press secretary George Little said Defense Secretary Leon Panetta agreed that elements of the Pakistani government, including the Inter-Services Intelligence agency, “appear to provide support and facilitation to the Haqqanis.”

Little would not comment more specifically; he referred reporters to Panetta’s testimony at the Senate hearing where Mullen made his comments.

Mullen himself, in remarks to The Wall Street Journal published Wednesday, said that while the ISI has supported the Haqqani network, it does not necessarily control details of the group’s operations.

“It is very clear they have supported them,” Mullen told the Journal. “I don’t think the Haqqanis can be turned on and off like a light switch. But there are steps that could be taken to impact the Haqqanis over time.”

U.S. eases rhetoric on Pakistan WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration on Wednesday toned down harsh criticism of Pakistan leveled by the outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff but made clear that it expects more counterterrorism cooperation from Islamabad if tenuous ties are to improve.

The softening in rhetoric came as some in Pakistan reacted angrily to Adm. Mike Mullen’s remarks claiming formal concrete links between the Haqqani insurgent network and Pakistan’s main intelligence service, which have triggered a nationalist backlash, whipped up media fears of an American invasion and threatened to further complicate already tense relations.

The White House, Pentagon and State Department carefully refused to endorse comments from Adm. Mike Mullen that the Haqqani network “acts as a veritable arm” of Pakistan’s InterServices Intelligence agency, or ISI. But officials at all three buildings allowed that the U.S.-Pakistan relationship is fraught with frustrating

Chase suspect gets probation

BY WILL E SANDERS Ohio Community Media wsanders@dailycall.com

TROY

A Piqua man who eluded multiple police jurisdictions in July as he led a chase through Piqua, Covington and back through Piqua will not go to prison, but instead will serve three years on probation, a common pleas court judge ruled Monday.

In addition, Robert W. Comstock,

55, must make full restitution in the case for the 20-mile chase on July 7 that stemmed from a reported domestic episode involving his estranged wife and a handgun in the parking lot of a Piqua fast food franchise.

Restitution in the case, which court records show Comstock had made prior to his court sentencing,

Pit bull owners in court

BY WILL E SANDERS Ohio Community Media wsanders@dailycall.com The owners of two pit bulls that viciously attacked a 59-year-old city woman Sept. 11 as she rode her bike across the North Main Street Bridge faced a judge during two arraignments held in Miami County Municipal Court on Monday.

Brian M. Wilson, 30, and Mackenzie Vangel, 29, who reside together in a home just outside of Piqua, were released afterward on recognizance bonds and will both have pretrial hearings Oct. 4.

Wilson and Vangel are each charged with two counts of harboring a dangerous or vicious dog, fourthdegree felonies, and one charge of failure to obtain liability insurance, a misdemeanor of the first-degree.

Originally, each were charged with with allowing a dog to run at large, a misdemeanor, but the new charges were filed last week after authorities continued investigating the brutal dog attack that left victim Sandra Getzendiner, 59, of Piqua, in Miami Valley Hospital for 11 days.

The two dogs were later shot and killed by police shortly following the attack and were previously declared vicious dogs earlier this year after another assault.

was for the amount of $1,501.21.

Comstock waived a Miami County grand jury’s consideration of his initial charge of failure to comply with a police officer, a third-degree felony, and instead entered into a plea agreement and entered a plea of no contest to an amended charge of inducing panic, a fifth-degree felony.

He faced a maximum prison term of one year in prison. Police initially believed Comstock had a gun, but either discarded it before the chase

or during it. Despite efforts to recover the gun, authorities never found it.

The chase began after a domestic violence incident took place in the vicinity of Lee’s Famous Recipe, 102 S. Sunset Drive, Piqua, that involved a woman police initially described as the man’s estranged wife. During the incident, Comstock allegedly had a gun and rammed his vehicle into her vehicle before police were called and COMSTOCK the chase ensued.

Report: Emergency food pantries become a mainstay NEW YORK (AP) — Rosalinde Block receives $241 a month in food assistance for her and her 18-year-old son, to add to the money coming in from the piano lessons she teaches and the art commissions she gets. In one of the world’s most expensive cities, it’s not enough.

“That goes pretty fast,” said Block, 59, of the amount she got for September, “it was already gone by the 12th or the 15th.”

So Block, who lives on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, adds to it with visits every other month to a food pantry in nearby Harlem, where she’ll get some chicken or milk, or some ingredients for soup or a few other meals. It’s been like this for a couple of years.

A report released Wednesday by Feeding America, a hunger-relief organization, finds that food banks that were originally created to serve as stop-gap emergency food providers are now taking a long-term, chronic role for Americans turning to them routinely to get enough to eat.

The organization’s study, “Food Banks: Hunger’s New Staple,” analyzed data compiled in 2009 as part of the group’s “Hunger in America 2010” report. The latest analysis showed that 18 percent of those surveyed said they used

The survey also found that among those 65 years and older, 56 percent went to a food pantry every month. And even those receiving aid in the form of supplemental nutrition money still needed more help, with 58 percent of them being frequent or monthly users.

“Those dollars don’t go very far,” said Vicki Escarra, president of the Chicago-based Feeding America.

The report “really puts kind of a fine point on the fact that food banks are becoming the new normal for a large percent-

age of the population,” she said.

It’s not the role they were created for, she said, “but we are doing that right now because we have to.”

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 14.5 percent U.S. households, about 17 million, were termed “food-insecure” in 2010, a jump from about 11 percent in 2007.

Of those households, 6.4 million had very low food security, meaning one or more members of the household had eating patterns disrupted because of lack of money or other resources for food.

They’re people like Madeline Smart of Fort Smith, Ark. The 72-year-old retired

widow said there’s no way she can afford enough food with the money she gets from Social Security and $16 in supplemental food assistance.

So she buys what she can, adding to that with whatever she finds that’s still good to eat in the grocery store’s garbage bin, and recently, with food she’s gotten from the food pantry at her church.

“I would be suffering; I would be having a hard time” if it wasn’t for the help she gets, she said.

Marisol DeLeon would be having a hard time, too. The 46year-old Bronx mother gets disability payments and food assistance to help feed the three children who live with her, but it’s still not enough for the fruits and vegetables and other healthy foods they’re trying to eat.

So three times a month, she goes to food pantries, where she gets a variety of canned and fresh vegetables, rice and other foods. Not having that help would make it impossible to get what they need. For example, a recent visit to the food pantry had her bringing home some cherry tomatoes.

She was curious, so she checked at the store to see what they cost.

“They had them for almost $4,” she said. “Who can afford that?”

officers spoke to local businesses and went to insecticide conferences around the country to learn how the planes were used, bought and manufactured. They also sent officers to Fort Dix in New Jersey to train on shooting from aircraft, and equipped helicopters so they could be armed with heavy machine guns if necessary.

“We didn’t want to be totally defenseless in a situation like that, so we have trained our flight crews to use a .50-caliber weapon,” Kelly told reporters on Wednesday.

The decision to fire would be only in an extreme circumstance, and would be made in consultation with Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and with the Federal Aviation Administration and other federal authorities, he said.

NEW YORK (AP) — In his first remarks about an attention-grabbing claim that police had the means to shoot down a terrorist plane, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Wednesday that the department could arm helicopters with .50-caliber guns to fire at small aircraft, not a commercial airliner.

Kelly explained he was referring to crop dusters that could be commandeered and used to disperse anthrax or some other toxic material. In the months after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, authorities uncovered information from would-be hijacker Zacarias Moussaoui about small aircraft being used this way. It led to the brief grounding of crop dusters nationwide.

In response, Kelly said, New York Police Department

“We have a hotline to the FAA and we have direct contact to the towers at LaGuardia and Kennedy airport,” Kelly said.

He stressed that the weapons are not meant to shoot down a commercial airliner.

“I don’t see that as being a real possibility,” he said.

The arming of helicopters is only one example of how the NYPD has pursued an ambitious program to fortify defenses against another terror attack against the city.

After the commando-style assault on Mumbai in 2008, the department trained scores of additional officers on the use of high-powered rifles loaded with armorpiercing bullets. The officers have been put through drills at a facility that simulates a typical New York City block.

The use of motorboats by terrorists in Mumbai also prompted New York police to order a high-speed combat vessel that can carry up to 30 officers armed with heavy weapons. Officials say the $5 million boat gives the department the ability to respond with rapid force if the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island or other sites are faced with a threat like this year’s Norway massacre.

Although the Daily News of New York had reported in 2005 that a revamping of NYPD’s helicopter fleet included giving choppers heavy weapons capabilities, police officials had kept the idea under wraps until Kelly’s remarks in a “60 Minutes” segment that aired Sunday on CBS. Asked about potential threats from aircraft, Kelly said: “Well, it’s something that’s on our radar screen. I mean in an extreme situation, you would have some means to take down a plane.” But he declined to go into details, raising questions about whether the department had the authority and expertise to shoot down a plane.

It is early on Saturday morning as I write this and everyone else is still in bed. I decided to get up early today to write this column.

A 79-year-old member of our church district passed away yesterday morning. He had been a widower for the past 23 years. While he didn’t have any children, he leaves to mourn a lot of relatives in this area. He had lived with his niece and her family and had his own part of the house.

The viewing will be there and the funeral will be at another niece’s house on Monday. I will help out at the funeral.

Meanwhile, we’ve been busy helping sister Emma and her husband Jacob.

My husband Joe and I and the children will go to Emma and Jacob’s today to help with final preparations for church which will be held there tomorrow. Yesterday Joe and I also assisted them with their work. I helped Emma do jobs inside the house while Joe worked outside in the building where church will be held. He put up a partition using canvas on one end of the building so lunch could be served there tomorrow.

Jacob’s will have council meeting (Editor’s note: some Amish refer to this service as “rule church”, when , as the name implies, rules of the church are discussed. It is usually held the service before Communion) tomorrow so services are longer than usual, lasting until 2:30-3 p.m.

Council services are held in preparation for Communion services.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Decide if marriage is worth saving Dear Annie: I have been married to "George" for 11 years. In the past two, George and I have had sex only three times. Lately, when I go to kiss him, he turns away.

I have asked George if there is someone else or if he has a medical issue, but he denies both.

I've been told I am quite attractive, but he seems interested only in the financial stability I provide.

I am so frustrated. The only thing keeping me here is that I am taking classes at a local college and am close to finishing.

I would like to save my marriage, but can't do it by myself.

Am I wasting my time? I don't get the impression that George even likes me, let alone loves me.

— Need an Outsider's Insight Dear Need: If George thinks he has a medical problem, he should be willing to see a doctor — and you should encourage him to do so.

If he were having an affair or if he were gay, however, he might not tell you. Get some counseling and figure out whether it is worth staying in this loveless marriage.

Dear Annie: My sister is getting married next spring. My husband and I are excited for her, but we live in the Midwest, and they are getting married in Hawaii.

My husband and I don't make much money. We've been saving for three years to go to Hawaii on our anniversary in January.

We would prefer to go on our own vacation rather than deplete our savings in order to attend my sister's wedding.

To be fair, it didn't cost my sister a dime to attend my wedding, and even she has admitted that she was a lousy maid of honor — rude and demanding.

Now my sister is furious that we are not planning to attend.

She has demanded that I put my student loans into forbearance, get a second job, go without my husband, or that we use our vacation funds.

I feel that if she wants to have a destination wedding, great, but she can't expect people to spend that kind of money, and she has no right to dictate how others choose to spend their money.

She has been quite nasty to me and is badmouthing us to our friends and family.

Am I wrong not to spend our money for her wedding? — Frustrated with Finances Dear Frustrated: We will admit that your sister sounds like a selfish spoiled brat, but we also believe one should make every effort to attend major family events.

You already have the money saved up to go to Hawaii. Why not combine your vacation with her wedding?

After the rest of the guests go home (or before they arrive), you and your husband can enjoy the trip you planned, even if it is not on the exact day you wanted.

This is what family members do when they love each other (although your sister certainly doesn't make it easy).

Dear Annie: I read the letter from "Suffering Soon-to-Be Ex," whose wife left him after he made the incredible blunder of saying he wished he'd found his wife's sister first.

A few years ago, my co-worker made a huge mistake during a business conference call. The very next day, he wrote on the white board in his office, "Think fast. Talk slow."

I thought you might want to pass this sage advice along to your readers.

We were able to save the client. I hope "Soon" is as fortunate. — Slow Talker Dear Slow: We hope so, too.

Thanks for the excellent words to live by.

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

Biking for groceries is a big budget saver Dear Heloise: I save a lot by driving less and by riding a bicycle whenever possible to do my grocery shopping. For the price of three tanks of regular gas, I bought a very nice used bike, and for the price of one more tank of gas, I was able to buy a carrier rack to mount on my bike.

At the store, I buy considerably less, especially when it comes to things I really don’t need. This is a good habit for health, savings and the environment. — Eliott in Salem, Ore. Eliott, not only are you saving money and helping the environment, you are getting exercise, too! When I ride my URAL

Hints from Heloise Columnist motorcycle with a sidecar to the store, it does make me think about not buying too much. — Heloise COLLAR STAYS Dear Heloise: I really enjoy reading your hints and timesavers. Glad it came into the Henderson (Texas) newspaper.

If you lose the stays that fit into the tips of men’s dress-shirt collars, you can cut some out of bendable plastic cards (credit or debit, etc.). If you have just one stay, it makes a perfect pattern!

— Wanda in Henderson, Texas Nice to be in the Henderson Daily News! — Heloise BRASS FACTS Dear Heloise: Help! Can you please tell me how to clean brass? — Teresa V., via email Teresa, you can start with a condiment in your fridge: ketchup!

But first, you need to know if your brass is lacquered or not.

Nonlacquered brass can be cleaned by rubbing ketchup on

the surface and then taking it off with a damp, clean cloth. Buff until dry. However, lacquered brass can be cleaned only with a damp, soft cloth — no cleaners or polishes should be used.

Vinegar has so many uses, which is why it is my favorite household item — I always have it on hand!

To order my pamphlet, which has many more hints and uses for vinegar, send $5 and a long, stamped (64 cents), selfaddressed envelope to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Vinegar also can be used as a chrome polish to remove hard-water spots.

FAMILY CIRCUS BEETLE BAILEY

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE Thursday, Sept. 29, 2011 In coming months, you’re apt to make a very valuable and unique friendship. This person, who is introduced to you through a mutual friend, will open doors for you and take you to places you can only imagine.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Because you won’t dilly-dally over your opportunities, you could find yourself involved in several enterprises at the same time. You’ll make them all live up to your expectations.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — The right opening might present itself to put the finishing touches on a matter that has given you and everybody else fits. Be prepared to exploit it like the dickens.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) There is likely to be a good reason for having someone continually in your thoughts at this time. Why not get in touch with this person, and see where it leads?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — The biggest stimulus you could get is the visualization of the material rewards you could derive from acting on one of several options. Define your purpose and go after it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Experience is generally one of our best teachers, and that’s especially true at this time. You’ll profit from a past mistake and eke out a victory where you once met bitter defeat.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — The two trump cards you’re holding — your excellent imagination and your great resourcefulness, will give you an edge over the competition. Use them to the fullest.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — In order to get the most out of the day, you need to spend some quality time with associates who want the same things you want. By doing so, you can assemble a better brain trust.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — There could be some unique career opportunities offered to you at this time that would be to your liking. Even if others don’t see what you see in these possibilities, follow your instincts.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You’ll easily discern the difference between what is a well-calculated risk and what is merely a wild gamble. Follow your own nose and ignore those who can’t see what you see.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If you spot an unexpected shift in circumstances forming, you should consider what the ramifications might mean and act accordingly. It could put you one step ahead of the pack.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — One of your talents is the ability to improve upon good ideas offered by others. Don’t hesitate to use it whenever and with whatever is being put in the pipeline.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Be on continuous alert to expand upon whatever opportunities come your way, especially if they are financial in nature. You can make it big if you act promptly.

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.

Trojans finish off Rams early, 11-0 Staff Reports

MIAMI COUNTY

TROTWOOD — Troy’s game Wednesday at Trotwood officially ended early.

But it was really over much, much earlier.

The Trojans (6-5-1, 2-0 Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division) scored four times in the first 10 minutes Wednesday en route to an 11-0 victory in a game that was called in the middle of the

second half due to lightning.

“It was good to come out and out it away early,” Troy coach Mike Rasey said. “We set the tone early and didn’t let up.”

Ashley Rector — who had two goals in Monday’s win over Springboro — added two moe goals, and Leah Soutar scored twice, as well.

Madison Burchfield and Maci Wadsworth each had a goal and an assist,

Jessica Bornhorst, Kathryn Lewis, Kina Sekito, Emily DeBella and Catelyn Schmiedebusch each had a goal, Cierra Sutherland had three assists and Ashley Littrell and Mackenzie Schulz each had an assist.

Troy is off until Wednesday when it travels to Butler for a big GWOC North matchup.

Troy 8th at GWOC Covington boys, girls advance at sectional Staff Reports ARCANUM — When the season began, the Troy Trojans played Beechwood Golf Course in pretty ideal conditions.

Wednesday was pretty far from ideal — yet their scores didn’t show it.

DAYTON — On a day where Milton-Union’s top-seeded players swept four spots, it was the second-seeded Andrea Fetters that stole the show.

Fetters was the only Bulldog not to take first place Wednesday at the Southwestern Buckeye League tournament, falling 7-6, 6-1 to Madison’s Rylie Markle in a hard-fought first singles championship match. Still, the Bulldogs scored 58 points on the day to win the SWBL title in a tournament that began at Thomas Cloud Park then moved to Dayton Center Courts due to the rain.

“The first singles match between Fetters and Markle was a very high-quality match,” Milton-Union coach Sharon Paul said. “The score does not show how long points lasted and how hard each girl worked. It was definitely the highlight of the tournament.”

MIAMI COUNTY

MIAMI COUNTY The Trojans finished eighth at the Greater Western Ohio Conference postseason tournament Wednesday, improving their standings from the preseason tournament by one and taking nine strokes off of that first score with a 441.

“Obviously, I’m very pleased with all of the girls,” Troy coach Eric Nawroth said. “This was not a very easy day to play golf.

It was cold, it was windy and it rained for about an hour and a half. The conditions were very difficult and very wet.

“It was very impressive to improve on that early-season performance on a very tough day.”

All of the Bulldogs were favored to win championships at their spots — and they all made good on it.

At second singles, Jessie Finfrock defeated Brooke Schoolcraft of Madison 6-1, 6-1 and Nikki Millar of Waynesville 6-2, 6-3.

A positive note Volquez strong as Reds fall in finale

Bengals’ Benson can play vs. Bills Cedric Benson is satisfied with his appeal hearing. Now it’s a matter of waiting for the NFL to decide whether the Cincinnati Bengals running back be suspended for an offseason arrest.

See Page 16.

NEW YORK (AP) — Edinson Volquez’s wild journey this season ended on a positive note.

Volquez worked a season high-tying seven innings for the Cincinnati Reds in a 3-0 loss to the New York Mets on Wednesday.

“I thinks it’s my best outing since I came back from Triple-A,” said Volquez, who had Tommy John surgery in 2008.

Volquez (5-7) gave up a bunt single to Jose Reyes, who was trying to win the NL batting title, in the first but didn’t allow AP PHOTO another batter to reach until Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Edinson Volquez reacts on the Willie Harris walked with one mound after New York Mets’ Mike Baxter hit a two-run home run in out in the fourth.

back singles to give the Mets the lead.

“He pitched well enough to win,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “He’s gotten back to throwing strikes. He found the strike zone again. Cut down on his base on balls, his future is still very bright.”

Cincinnati only managed two hits off Miguel Batista (5-2) in the finale of a disappointing season, winding up at 79-83 after winning the NL Central last year with a 91-71 record.

“We’re going to work on our areas of improvement,” Baker said. “Getting our front line guys

But late in the second half, Sarah Harmer took a feed from Ellise Sharpe and ripped it in from 12 yards out to tie the score at 1-1 — where it stayed until Janosik scored with two minutes to play.

Janosik added another goal as time was winding down with an assist from Jenna Nelson.

“We did a nice job in the midfield tonight and had a lot of shots on goal. Their goalie (Jessica Smith) made 15 saves — many of them on nice shots,” Rabe said.

Liam Whitworth scoed the Devils’ first goal with an assist from Nathan Banks, and Josh Bechtol added the insurance goal on a feed from Philip Donald with 28 seconds left in the game.

“They (Bellefontaine) were really up to play us tonight,” Tippecanoe coach Scott Downing said. “Their goalkeeper was phenomenal. We had five or six shots inside the 6-yard line that he somehow got a hand on.

“We had a lot of chances.

We played really well, even for the conditions. In the end, we were happy to get out of there with a win.”

Kobe may play in Italy MILAN (AP) — Kobe Bryant said it’s “very possible” he will play in Italy during the NBA lockout, adding the country is like home because he spent part of his childhood there.

Virtus Bologna has made numerous contract offers to the Los Angeles Lakers star. Bryant discussed the offer with the Gazzetta dello Sport during a sponsor’s appearance in Milan on Wednesday.

“It’s very possible. It would be a dream for me,” Bryant said, according to the Gazzetta. “There’s an opportunity that we’ve been discussing over the last few days. It’s very possible and that’s good news for me.”

Bryant later spoke to a crowd in Italian at the event in Milan.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen over the next three or four weeks, but Italy has always been in my heart,” Bryant said.

Division II Sectional WEBSTER — Covington continued its tradition of advancing to district every other year, nearly pulling off a second-place finish at the Division II Sectional at Stillwater Valley Golf Course.

National Trail won with a 376 total, while Covington and Fort Loramie both shot 404, with the Redskins winning the fifth-girl tiebreaker.

“It started with Ashley Johnson’s senior year,” Covington coach Ron Schultz said. “We have been going as a team every other year. I am really pleased with the way the girls played today.”

Not only were the tees moved back, the Buccs had to deal with the elements Mother Nature threw at them, leading to a long day on the golf course.

“We shot 398 here from the women’s tees in good weather,” Schultz said. “So I thought the girls did great today. They held it together pretty well and didn’t have a lot of big numbers. Our scores were just so consistent.”

Volquez only had to deal with Reyes once. The speedy shortstop was lifted for a pinch runner after the bunt hit, a move fans at Citi Field did not like and showed it with lusty boos from the modest crowd announced at 28,816.

“It was kind of tough,” Reyes said. “I want to stay in the game. They have to understand, too, what’s going on. They have to feel happy about it if I win the battling title.”

Terry Collins, finishing up his first year as Mets manager, had to fight back tears as he explained why he took out Reyes so early.

“I understand. I heard some comments in the stands. I don’t blame them.

People pay a good price to come to these games. You’ve got to understand that I ask these players to do a lot,” Collins said before taking a long pause. “We worked hard to get their respect this year, and they deserve ours.”

Volquez’s only mistake came in the sixth inning, when Mike Baxter hit a tworun drive to right-center for his first major league homer.

“The ball was supposed to be away, and it came back in and up a little bit,” Baker said.

Volquez started on opening day for Cincinnati. But he struggled from the start and made two trips to Triple-A Louisville to figure out his control problems, returning from his last stint on Sept. 3.

The right-hander walked 65 batters in 108 2-3 innings this season but walked just one Wednesday for only the

After giving up three runs Wednesday, he finished with a 5.71 ERA. He turned down a multiyear offer last offseason and is arbitration eligible.

“I want to stay here,” he said. “I want to pitch here for the rest of my career.”

Reyes also doesn’t know where he is going to end up.

One of the most coveted free-agents-to-be, Reyes could have been playing his final game with the Mets and he had a lot at stake.

The bunt single elevated Reyes’ average to .337057 and gave him a 2-point lead over Ryan Braun, who was at .334525 heading into

Milwaukee’s regular-season finale against Pittsburgh.

The Mets have never had a batting champion, but Braun could edge out Reyes by going 3 for 4.

Signed by the Mets as a 16-year-old out of the Dominican Republic, Reyes can become a free agent after the World Series ends.

In a season interrupted by leg injuries that caused two stints on the disabled list, he scored 101 runs and led the majors with 16 triples.

“I always say, I want to stay here,” Reyes said.

“We’re going to see what happens in a few weeks in a few weeks. I just need to sit down with my agent and

make a plan.”

Fans chanced “Please stay, Jose!” throughout the ninth inning, and he gave a salute as he was walking off the field. Chants of “Jose Reyes!” continued after he threw his hat into the stands.

Reyes planned to host 15 to 20 friends at his home for a viewing party Wednesday night. If he wins the title, friends in the Dominican Republic intend to hold a parade for him in his hometown.

Batista (5-2) pitched his 11th complete game, his first since July 19, 2006, for Arizona against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

He allowed a one-out single to Edgar Renteria in the first and a leadoff double to Chris Heisey in the second.

Before the game, Baker said the Reds were playing to “get off those nines,” but Batista was able to keep Joey Votto and Jay Bruce from rounding out their numbers. Votto went 0 for 3 to end the season with 29 homers and Bruce failed to get the three RBIs he needed for 100.

Tigers 5, Indians 4 DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera singled and doubled, all but wrapping up the American League batting title, and Jhonny Peralta hit a tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning to help the Detroit Tigers beat the Cleveland Indians 5-4 on Wednesday night.

Cabrera entered the day hitting .343, five points ahead of Michael Young of Texas and Adrian Gonzalez of Boston. He raised his average another point against the Indians, making it almost impossible for the other two to catch him.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Cedric Benson is satisfied with his appeal hearing.

Now it’s a matter of waiting for the NFL to decide whether the Cincinnati Bengals running back be suspended for an offseason arrest.

Benson’s appeal of a proposed three-game suspension was heard on Tuesday, with no decision by the league. He’s available to play on Sunday against the undefeated Buffalo Bills at Paul Brown Stadium. There are no guarantees after that.

The running back was glad to be done with it.

“The meeting was the most stressful thing for me,” Benson said Wednesday. “I wanted that to go well and I felt it did.

That’s behind me now. We’ll hope for no issues at all but if for some reason they want to bully the system and create an issue, then I’ve got to be receptive to that.”

It would be a big setback for the Bengals to lose Benson, who has been their leading rusher each of the last three seasons. Backup Bernard Scott has played sparingly, carrying only eight times during the first three games.

The Bengals have given tryouts to free agent running backs Larry Johnson and Clinton Portis, but coach Marvin Lewis said on Wednesday those were scheduled before the team know of Benson’s predicament.

Lewis expects Benson to be available to play this week.

“If we don’t hear something generally by Tuesday,

we’re going to assume everything is going to go status quo,” Lewis said.

“Otherwise it puts you at a bit of a disadvantage. But we’re prepared either way.

We’ve been on this thing.”

The possibility that Benson and cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones could be suspended has miffed their teammates.

Offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth the team’s union representative is upset that eight players are facing discipline for incidents that happened during the NFL’s lockout.

Benson was a free agent during the lockout, when he was arrested on a misdemeanor assault charge in Texas.

Benson served five days in a Texas jail before the start of the season to settle two misdemeanor assault cases from the past two years.

“I feel it’s unfair,” Whitworth said Wednesday. “If I’d have been injured in the offseason during the lockout, they could cut me and have no repercussions for it. The NFL could say, ‘You were injured and you weren’t an employee of ours because there was a lockout.’ By the same token, they want to punish guys and say you are an employee of the NFL during the lockout when it comes to discipline and so we can punish you. That doesn’t make any sense.

“I think we’re going down muddy waters here.

I’m either an employee of NFL or not. I don’t condone their actions, I don’t condone what they’ve done, but they weren’t employed.”

EPA cuts corners on finding WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration cut corners before concluding that climate-change pollution can endanger human health, a key finding underpinning costly new regulations, an internal government watchdog said Wednesday.

Regulators and the White House disagreed with the finding, and the report itself did not question the science behind the administration’s conclusions. Still, the decision by the Environmental Protection Agency’s inspector general is sure to encourage industry lawyers, global warming doubters in Congress and elsewhere, and Republicans taking aim at the agency for what they view as an onslaught of job-killing environmental regulations.

The report said EPA should have followed a more extensive review process for a technical paper supporting its determination that greenhouse gases pose dangers to human health and welfare, a finding that ultimately compelled it to issue controversial and expensive regulations to control greenhouse gases for the first

time.

“While it may be debatable what impact, if any, this had on EPA’s finding, it is clear that EPA did not follow all the required steps,” Inspector General Arthur A. Elkins, Jr. said in a statement Wednesday.

The EPA and White House said the greenhouse gas document did not require more independent scrutiny because the scientific evidence it was based on already had been thoroughly reviewed.

The agency did have the document vetted by 12 experts, although one of those worked for EPA. “The report importantly does not question or even address the science used or the conclusions reached,” the EPA said in a statement. The environmental agency said its work “followed all appropriate guidance,” a conclusion supported by the White House budget official who wrote the peer review guidelines in 2005.

EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson has said repeatedly that her conclusions were based on the underlying science, not the agency’s summary of it.
