PERENIC/SPRINGFIELD NEWS-SUN Kids complain about new healthy lunches Pediatric dietitian stresses breakfast. By Mark Fahey, Kyle Nagel and Kelli Wynn Staff Writers Many students and parents have reacted strongly to new guidelines for the National School Lunch program mandating calorie limits and more fruits and vegetables, saying the meals are unappealing or leave kids hungry after eating. The changes began this school year and affect more than 1.1 million Ohio students who participate in the program, which served more than 180 million meals at reduced cost or no charge in fiscal year 2011. Some say the changes go too far, while others argue they are necessary for student health. Lunch continued on A4 Cafeteria workers fill up the healthy offerings of the salad bar during lunch at Springfield High School. NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM CALORIE REQUIREMENTS New regulations established calorie limits for the first time. They include: Grade level Calories/lunch Meat/week K-5 550-650 8-10 ounces 6-8 600-700 9-10 ounces 9-12 750-850 10-12 ounces Note: Calories can be averaged over the week Source: U.S. Department of Agriculture ELECTION 2012 Candidates retool messages Saturday marks a month until Election Day. Mitt Romney is seeking to build on a strong performance in the first debate while President Barack Obama decides to change his strategy. REACTION WHAT’S NEXT A resurgent Romney spoke of a “close-fought battle” with Obama as he campaigned in Virginia. Obama’s camp questioned Romney’s truthfulness and said the president is “eager” for the Oct. 16 debate. A Dayton Daily News sampling of residents who watched the debate said Romney did a better job and questioned whether either man could fulfill promises. They said the debate didn’t change their minds. A telling indicator about the No. 1 issue in the presidential race, jobs and the economy, is due today. The monthly national unemployment report for September will provide political fodder for both candidates. Economists predict a flat jobless rate of 8.1 percent. That paints a dual picture: The rate is down from 10 percent in 2009, the year Obama came president, yet it’s far from a healthy number. BIG RATINGS An estimated 67.2 million people watched the debate, according to ratings firm Nielsen. That is a 28 percent increase over the 52.4 million that watched the first debate of 2008.

C1 $1.50 $1.00 DEVELOPING STORY: SCHOOL ATTENDANCE FRAUD No area schools faulted in probe Enrollment numbers at heart of ongoing investigation by state. By Margo Rutledge Kissell Staff Writer Laura A. Bischoff Columbus Bureau About this story Five school districts in Ohio — none in the Dayton area — show evidence of scrubbing attendance data, possibly to improve their report card ratings, according to an interim report released Thursday by state Auditor Dave Yost. The audit found that Columbus, Marion, Cleveland Municipal, Toledo and Campbell City Schools in Mahoning County all improperly withdrew students from their enrollment. Columbus City Schools Superintendent Gene Harris unexpectedly announced her retirement after the probe began. Seven of the nine Miami Valley districts that were among a sampling of 100 schools under review have been cleared of wrongdoing. When the state auditor’s office refused to identify the 100 schools being investigated, our reporters contacted 40 superintendents in our eight-county region to find out if they were part of the probe. Miami Valley readers knew which districts had auditors in their schools before the state identified them in Thursday’s interim audit. School data continued on A4 NEW DETAILS Meningitis scare widens to 23 states Outbreak has killed 5; steroid back injection patients at risk in Ohio. By Mike Stobbe Associated Press The potential scope of the meningitis outbreak that has killed at least five people widened dramatically Thursday as health officials warned that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of patients who got steroid back injections in 23 states could be at risk. Clinics and medical centers rushed to contact patients who may have received the apparently fungus-contaminated shots. And the Food and Drug Administration urged doctors not to use any products at all from the Massachusetts pharmacy that supplied the suspect steroid solution. It is not clear how many patients received tainted injections, or even whether everyone who got one will get sick.

But after a week in which the Iranian currency, the rial, fell by a shocking 40 percent and protests began to rumble through the capital, no one is making light of the mounting costs of confrontation. In the Iranian capital, all anyone can talk about is the rial, and how lives have been turned up- NATION IN BRIEF FLORIDA Air Force launches special satellite side down in one terrible week. Every elevator ride, office visit or quick run to the supermarket brings new gossip about the currency’s drop and a swirl of speculation about who is to blame. “Better buy now,” one rice seller advised Abbas Sharabi, a retired factory guard, who had decided to buy 900 pounds of Iran’s most basic staple in order to feed his extended family for a year. “As I was gathering my money, the man received a phone call,” said Sharabi, smoking cigarette after cigarette on Thursday while waiting for a bus. “When he hung up, he told me prices had just gone up by 10 percent. Of course I paid. God knows how much it will cost tomorrow.” Christy Ivie (center), wife of Nicholas Ivie, holds back tears as she is surrounded by her family — father Tracy and mother DeAnn Morris (left), and sister Jan Cloward and brother Travis Morris — during a news conference Thursday in Sierra Vista, Ariz. Ivie was gunned down Tuesday as he responded to a tripped sensor on the U.S. side of a border fence, near Naco, Ariz. GARY M. WILLIAMS / ASSOCIATED PRESS 2 held in connection with U.S. agent’s death Investigation continues into Arizona incident. By E. Eduardo Castillo and Jacques Billeaud Associated Press PHOENIX — Federal police have arrested two men who may be connected with the fatal shooting of a U.S. Border Patrol agent just north of the MexicoArizona border, a Mexican law enforcement official said Thursday. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information, said it was unclear if there was strong evidence linking the men to the shooting of agent Nicholas Ivie. Ivie and two other agents were fired upon Tuesday in a rugged hilly area about five miles north of the border near Bisbee, Ariz., as they responded to an alarm that was triggered on one of the sen- sors that the government has installed along the border. The wounded agent was released from the hospital after undergoing surgery. The third agent wasn’t injured. Brenda Nath, an FBI spokeswoman in Arizona, and Border Patrol officials in Arizona declined to comment on the detention of the two men in Mexico. The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office, which is also investigating the shooting, didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Lydia Antonio, a spokeswoman for the Mexican Embassy in Washington, confirmed the two detentions, but declined to say what prompted their detentions and what made authorities suspect the two might be involved in the shooting. At a news conference Thursday in Washington, Attorney General Eric Holder said he was getting updates on the investigation’s progress and had spoken with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano about the probe. Napolitano is traveling to Arizona today to express her condolences to Ivie’s family and meet with law enforcement authorities in southern Arizona about the investigation into the agent’s death. Authorities have declined to provide key details about Tuesday’s shooting, including what they believe prompted it, whether or not the agents were ambushed and whether or not any guns from the shooting were recovered. Still, they suspect that more than one person fired on the agents. The head of the Border Patrol agents union has said he believes those who carried out the shooting probably had time to cross the border in the earlymorning darkness before authorities could seal off the area and that he doubted that whoever shot the agents would still be hiding in the area. Manson family member recommended for parole By Linda Deutsch Associated Press LOS ANGELES — A Cali- fornia parole board panel recommended parole Thursday for a Charles Manson follower who has been imprisoned for 40 years. Bruce Davis, convicted with Manson and another man in two murders unrelated to the infamous Sharon Tate slayings in 1969, appeared before the panel on the eve of his 70th birthday. It was his 27th parole hearing and was held at the California Men’s Colony at San Luis Obispo, where Da- vis is imprisoned. A parole board determined in 2010 that Davis was ready for release, but then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger reversed the decision citing the heinous nature of the crimes. Gov. Jerry Brown has the final say on decisions by the current parole board. Davis has been in prison since 1972 after being convicted with Manson Steve Grogan in the murders of musician Gary Hinman and stuntman Donald “Shorty” Shea. Davis had been set for a hearing earlier this year, but he became ill and it was delayed. IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATION Big breaks to business Ohio offers big tax credits to companies that add jobs. But is the pro-business stance really paying off ? COMING SUNDAY “It’s time for him to go home,” said Davis’ attorney, Michael Beckman, who has been fighting for years to get his client released. Davis became a bornagain Christian in prison and ministered to other inmates, married a woman he met through the prison ministry, and has a grown daughter. Beckman said Davis also earned a master’s degree and a doctorate in philosophy of religion. Beckman said his client is totally rehabilitated and meets state requirements for parole. Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Patrick Sequeira opposed his release. Few followers of the infamous Manson cult have been released from prison. Grogan was freed in 1985 after he led police to Shea’s buried body. Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme was released from federal prison in 2009 after serving time for the attempted assassination of President Gerald Ford. Manson and two of his followers, Leslie Van Houten and Patricia Krenwinkel, remain in prison for life in the Tate killings. The Air Force launched a satellite to be part of the existing navigation system for the military. The latest Global Positioning System satellite rocketed into space Thursday from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, which is separate from NASA’s space center on the Florida coast. The Air Force manages the navigation system to ensure there are at least 24 operational satellites at all times. This newly launched spacecraft includes an improved military signal that is more resistant to signal jamming in hostile environments. CALIFORNIA Honda headlight recall expands Honda said it will expand a March headlight recall to include 820,000 model-year 2002-2003 Civic sedans and model-year 2004-2005 Pilot sport-utility vehicles in the United States. Honda, which earlier recalled 2002-2004 model year CR-Vs and 2003 Pilots for the same problem, said dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace components of the headlight wiring system. The automaker said a problem with the wiring of the headlight switch could cause the low-beam headlights to not work. MARS Curiosity rover to shake things up Mars Curiosity is about to take its first sip of the red planet’s sand. The rover’s scoop will dig into the sand Saturday. Then, the end of the rover’s 220-pound arm will shake “at a nice toothrattling vibration level” for eight hours. That heavy shaking will vibrate the fine dust grains through the rover chemical testing system to cleanse it of unwanted residual Earth grease. OKLAHOMA States fall short on sex offender law Nearly three dozen states have failed to meet conditions of a 2006 federal law that requires them to join a nationwide program to track sex offenders, including five states that have completely given up on the effort because of persistent doubts about how it works and how much it costs. The states, including some of the nation’s largest, stand to lose millions of dollars in government grants for law enforcement, but some have concluded that honoring the law would be far more expensive than simply living without the money. MINNESOTA Lawmakers want Gehrig information Some Minnesota lawmakers hope to force the release of Lou Gehrig’s medical records, saying they might provide insight into whether the Yankees star died of the disease that came to take his name or whether repetitive head trauma played some kind of role. Their effort comes despite opposition from Mayo Clinic, which holds the records, and skepticism from experts that the records alone would prove anything. From news services Local. Relevant.

Travis Mills lost arms, legs in Afghanistan. Move is in response to a mortar attack that killed civilians. By Mike Householder Associated Press VASSAR, MICH. — Army By Tim Arango, Sebnem Arsu and Anne Barnard New York Times ISTANBUL — Turkey’s Par- liament approved a motion Thursday that authorizes further military action against Syria, as Turkey began its second day of shelling targets within Syria in response to a mortar attack that killed five civilians. The measure, which was ratified after several hours of a closed-door session in the capital, Ankara, permits cross-border raids, although senior officials insisted that NATO ally Turkey did not want a war with its Arab neighbor — an escalation that could turn Syria’s bloody civil strife into a regional conflict with international involvement. The motion read, in part, “The ongoing crisis in Syria affects the stability and security in the region and now the escalating animosity affects our national security,” according to the semiofficial Anatolian News Agency. The Turkish military pounded targets inside Syria on Thursday in retaliation for the mortar attack a day earlier that killed five civilians in Turkey. Turks hold banners that read “no to imperialist intervention in Syria” during a protest against a possible war with Syria, in Istanbul, Turkey, on Thursday. ASSOCIATED PRESS Local news reports said Turkish shells fell inside Syria on at least 10 occasions after midnight, landing near the border town of Tel Abyad, some six miles inside Syrian territory. Activist groups in Syria said the shelling killed several Syrian government soldiers. The exchanges sent tremors across a region fearful that the mounting violence in Syria will spill into neighboring countries. Ibrahim Kalin, a senior aide to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said in a Twitter feed: “Turkey does not want war with Syria. But Turkey is capa- ble of protecting its borders and will retaliate when necessary.” The assurance came as western European leaders who have joined Turkey in supporting rebel forces in Syria sought to prevent the border clash from flaring out of control. NATO, to which Turkey belongs and whose charter calls in some cases for collective action when one of its members is targeted militarily, met Wednesday night to discuss the crisis. At the U.N. Security Council, Syrian ally Russia blocked an attempt to issue a strongly worded statement condemning Syria for the attack, diplomats said. Staff Sgt. Travis Mills had been a lot of places since losing his four limbs in Afghanistan. The one place he hadn’t been was where people knew him best. He finally returned to his Michigan hometown this week — six months after the explosion that cost him his arms and legs — to serve as the grand marshal of his old high school’s homecoming parade. “I didn’t come to Vassar yet, because I wasn’t ready for people to see me without my legs,” Mills said hours before the parade Thursday. “Great town, but I just wasn’t comfortable with them seeing me in a wheelchair.” Mills is still undergoing rehabilitation at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C., and his hometown has pulled for him from afar. Hair salons, American Legion posts and many others hosted fundraisers this spring and summer as the small, tight-knit community rallied around him. Mills barely suffered a scratch during his first two tours of Afghanistan, but during his third, on April 10, he placed a bag of ammunition down on an improvised explosive Army Staff Sgt. Travis Mills plays with his daughter, Chloe, in his boyhood home in Vassar, Mich., on Thursday. Mills is visiting his hometown for the first time since losing all four limbs while fighting in Afghanistan. CARLOS OSORIO / AP device. The resulting blast tore through the athlete’s muscular 6-foot-3 frame. Since then, he’s undergone a grueling series of medical procedures and been pushed to the limits by medical professionals intent on seeing him pull through his rare injury. A half a year since Mills’ life was changed forever, it’s difficult to find a tree, lamppost or telephone pole without a yellow or red, white and blue ribbon in this bucolic community of 2,700 that sits 90 miles north of Detroit. A downtown bank proudly displays an electronic sign that welcomes Mills as a “hometown hero,” as do dozens of other businesses. “It was a lot to take in,” Mills said of the signs of support he saw on the drive from the airport to his parents’ home. “Now, I just have to make sure not to let everyone down.” Mills, his wife, Kelsey, and their 1-year-old daughter, Chloe, were the grand marshals in Thursday’s parade. Mills also plans to address the crowd before tonight’s Vassar High football game. The 25-year-old is one of only a few servicemen to lose all four limbs in combat during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and survive. “This is my new normal, and it’s all about how I adjust to it,” he said moments after using his prosthetic legs to walk from the living room to the sun room at his childhood home. “There’s no good that’s gonna come from me sitting there and wondering, ‘Why’d this happen? Why me? Now what do I do?’ The answer’s right in front of you: It happened because it happened.” Mills was told quadruple amputees require at least 2½ years of recovery and rehabilitation. But his goal is to be out of Walter Reed and back home in less than half that. “I am going to be out of here” in a year, he boldly told his doctor. After that, he isn’t sure what the future holds. He might go back to school, or perhaps work as an instructor at Fort Bragg. Before any of that, however, he said he’s looking forward to spending an “emotional” two days with hundreds of his closest friends in Vassar. FBI team arrives Study: Free birth control works in Benghazi Lower rates of teen They’ll investigate consulate attack that killed official. By Eileen Sullivan and Lolita C. Baldor Associated Press WASHINGTON — A team of FBI agents arrived in Benghazi, Libya, Thursday to investigate the assault against the U.S. consulate and left after about 12 hours as the hunt for those connected to the attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans narrowed to one or two people in an extremist group, U.S. officials said Thursday. Agents arrived in Benghazi before dawn Thursday and departed after sunset, following weeks of waiting for access to the crime scene to investigate the Sept. 11 attack. The agents and dozens of U.S. special operations forces were there, said a senior Defense Department official who spoke anonymously because he was not authorized to comment about the ongoing investigation. The FBI agents went to “all the relevant locations” in the city, said FBI spokeswoman Kathy Wright. The FBI would not say what, if anything, they found. Killed in the attack were Stevens, a State Department computer expert and two security agents who were former Navy SEALS. Al-Qaidalinked militants are believed responsible. Immediately after the attack, protesters outraged over an anti-Muslim film produced by a California man stormed the consulate, officials said. U.S. intelligence and special operations forces have focused on at most “one or two individuals” in the Libya-based extremist group Ansar alShariah who may have had a role in the attack, according to a U.S. counterterrorism official. But that official and two others said there was no definitive evidence linking even those individuals to the attack. These officials also spoke on condition of anonymity. Members of Ansar alShariah were recorded making boastful calls to other militants after the attack, including to members of al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, which is suspected of having a role in the attack, one of the officials said. But that’s common in the aftermath of any such attack, when different militant groups try to claim credit to build their own stature in the region, the official said. So far, U.S. intelligence has found no evidence showing communication between militants prior to the attack, which took place on the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the U.S. Several Republican lawmakers have said Stevens and his staff made repeated requests for security improvements at the Benghazi consulate that the State Department denied. births, abortions but critics remain. By Lauran Neergaard Associated Press WASHINGTON — Free birth control led to dramatically lower rates of abortions and teen births, a large study concluded Thursday, offering evidence for how a bitterly contested Obama administration policy could benefit women’s health. Critics, however, said it did not address their concern that ready access to contraception will encourage risky sexual behavior. The project tracked more than 9,000 women in St. Louis, many of them poor or uninsured. They were given their choice of a range of contraceptive methods at no cost — from birth control pills to goofproof options like the IUD or a matchstick-sized implant. When price wasn’t an issue, women flocked to the most effective contraceptives — the implanted options, which typically cost hundreds of dollars upfront to insert. These women experienced far fewer unintended pregnancies Congratulations as a result, reported Dr. Jeffrey Peipert of Washington University in St. Louis in a study published Thursday. The effect on teen pregnancy was striking: There were 6.3 births per 1,000 teenagers in the study. Compare that to a national rate of 34 births per 1,000 teens in 2010. There also were substantially lower rates of abortion, when compared with women in the metro area and nationally: 4.4 to 7.5 abortions per 1,000 women in the study, compared with 13.4 to 17 abortions per 1,000 women overall in the St. Louis region, Peipert calculated. That’s lower than the national rate, too, which is almost 20 abortions per 1,000 women. The findings come as millions of U.S. women are beginning to get access to contraception without copays under President Barack Obama’s health care law. Women’s health specialists said the research foreshadows that policy’s potential impact. “As a society, we want to reduce unintended pregnancies and abortion rates. This study has demonstrated that having access to nocost contraception helps us get to that goal,” said Alina Salganicoff, director www.elainestevenson.com ELAINE STEVENSON 323-7218 of women’s health policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation. “It’s just an amazing improvement,” Dr. James T. Breeden, president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, said of the results. “I would think if you were against abortions, you would be 100 percent for contraception access.” Thursday’s data didn’t sway the critics. Jeanne Monahan of the Family Re- search Council suggested contraceptive use can encourage riskier sexual behavior. “Additionally, one might conclude that the Obama administration’s contraception mandate may ultimately cause more unplanned pregnancies since it mandates that all health plans cover contraceptives, including those that the study’s authors claim are less effective,” Monahan said.

All had received steroid shots for back pain, a highly common treatment. In an alarming indication the outbreak could get a lot bigger, Massachusetts health officials said the pharmacy involved, the New England Compounding Center of Framingham, Mass., has recalled three lots consisting of a total of 17,676 single-dose vials of the steroid, preservative-free methylprednisolone acetate. An unknown number of those vials reached clinics and other facilities in 23 states between July and September, federal health officials said. Several hundred of the vials, maybe more, have been returned unused, one Massachusetts official said. But many other vials were used. At one clinic in Evansville, Ind., more than 500 patients got shots from the suspect lots, officials said. At two clinics in Tennessee, more than 900 patients — perhaps many more — did. The investigation began about two weeks ago after a case was diagnosed in Tennessee. The time from infection to onset of symptoms is anywhere from a few days to a month, so the number of people stricken could rise. Investigators this week found contamination in a sealed vial of the steroid at the New England company, according to FDA officials. Tests are under way to determine if it is the same fungus blamed in the outbreak. The company has shut down operations and said it is working with regulators to identify the source of the infection. “Out of an abundance of caution, we advise all health care practitioners not to use any product” from the company, said Ilisa Bernstein, director of compliance for the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. Tennessee has by far the most cases with 25, including three deaths. Deaths have also been reported in Virginia and Maryland. MENINGITIS Q&A Q: What is meningitis? A: Meningitis is an inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms include a severe headache, nausea, dizziness and fever. Fungal meningitis is not contagious like the more common forms, bacterial and viral meningitis. It is caused by a fungus often found in leaf mold. Q: How were people infected? A: The prime suspect is steroid back injections. Federal officials said a fungus was found inside one sealed vial of the steroid and other vials also appeared to be contaminated. A specialty pharmacy, New England Compounding Center in Framingham, Mass., custommade the steroid. OHIO IMPACT No cases connected to the outbreak have been reported in Ohio so far, but the drug was distributed to doctors in the state, said Tessie Pollock, spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Health. The state, in cooperation with local health departments, is notifying providers who received the drug of the issue, Pollock said, and warning them to be on the lookout for cases, Pollock said. She did not know how many physicians or patients might have received the medication. A spokeswoman for Miami Valley Hospital said the Dayton hospital doesn’t purchase any medications from the compounding pharmacy implicated in the outbreak. A spokeswoman for Kettering Health Network said she wasn’t aware that any patients had to be notified that they had received the steroid in question. PEGGY O’FARRELL, STAFF WRITER ERIE, PA. — A man nicknamed the Healthy offerings sit on the salad bar during lunch at Springfield High School. New federal guidelines on school lunches mean that portions are smaller and more fruits and vegetables are on students’ plates. BARBARA J. PERENIC/SPRINGFIELD NEWS-SUN More fruit, veggies in meals Lunch continued from A1 Danielle Geeting, whose nine children in kindergarten through 11th grade attend Tecumseh schools, said the portions are much smaller than they were last year. “(School administrators) talk about obesity and getting fat at school, but if we’re starving, we’re just going to go home and eat a lot,” said Dalton Geeting, a freshman at Tecumseh High School. “It needs to get better because when we get hungry, it’s hard to concentrate on your work.” The changes were part of reauthorizing the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Child Nutrition Programs — most notably the National School Lunch program — with the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act. Efforts for the legislation were led by Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! campaign meant to encourage activity and decrease childhood obesity, which increased nationally from 7 percent for kids aged 6 to 11 in 1980 to 20 percent in 2008, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In Ohio, 15 percent of high school students were obese in 2011. Officials say they hope the changes help children stay healthy now and also teach better habits for the future. They also warn that the lunch program meals are meant to be only part of a child’s eating plan for the day. Becky Gonter-Dray, pediatric dietitian for the Children’s Medical Center of Dayton, said an appropriate breakfast will help ease concerns about lunch sizes. “Research shows that if you don’t eat breakfast that you don’t perform as well in school and you are at an increased risk for being obese later in life,” she said. Some students at Tecumseh Local Schools have had a difficult time with the new nutritional guidelines, said Superintendent Jim Gay. There has also been an increase in waste because some students choose not to eat the additional fruits and vegetables in the new meals. “Whether a kid is getting enough to eat or not kind of depends on the kid and the size of the kid,” Gay said. “We were very happy with the way it was last year, but the law changed and we need to follow the law. Certainly, we want the food that they get to be healthy for them, we want it to taste good and we don’t want them to be hungry.” The new legislation changed numerous standards for the school lunch program. Before, there were no calorie limits with one-half to threefourths of a cup or any mix of fruits or vegetables allowed. Beginning this year, there are permeal calorie limits depending on grades, ranging from 650 calories to 850 calories. There must also be one-half of a cup to one cup of fruits and threefourths of a cup to one cup of vegetables. There are also standards for meats, grains, whole grains, milk, sodium and fat. Schools must meet those standards to be reimbursed for meals, with rates ranging from $2.46 to $3.09 per free to reduced-price meal. In fiscal year 2011, the USDA paid more than $311 million in reimbursements to Ohio schools for the National School Lunch program, part of “(School administrators) talk about obesity and getting fat at school, but if we’re starving, we’re just going to go home and eat a lot.” Dalton Geeting Tecumseh High School freshman $10.1 billion paid out nationally. At Springfield High School, where breakfast and lunch are free for all students this year through a district-wide federal subsidy, students don’t seem to have noticed the changed guidelines. The cafeteria there offers an unlimited salad bar, pizza option, sandwich option and specialty meal and serves 3,500 breakfasts and 6,000 lunches each day. Filling the basket of apples at the end of the line demands about 1,330 apples per week. Springfield didn’t make a significant change to sizes this year because it had kept its meals modest said Chris Ashley, the district’s food service supervisor. Some districts saw more significant changes. “I understand that there’s got to be a world of difference between what they were getting and could get, and what they can get now,” Ashley said. “We never super-sized because we didn’t think it was a good nutritional choice.” Because Springfield High Schools never strayed far from the old nutritional recommendations, their students didn’t seem to mind the changes, Ashley said. For them, the new guidelines only mean small changes to meat portions, one less slice of meat on a sub and only one ounce less meat in a burger, while the amount of fruit and vegetables in each meal doubled from 4 ounces to 8 ounces. “I think the intentions are good, but I think the sweeping reforms that they did all in one year were tough for everybody to adjust to,” Ashley said. “If the changes had been more gradual, kids would have adjusted better and schools would have adjusted better.” Dinah May, a senior at Springfield, said that although she tries to pack her own lunch as much as possible, she like the new fruit and vegetable options. She said that although she noticed that the lunches are smaller, she appreciates that the meals are free for everyone. Although students have the option to buy additional food, some parents expressed concern about their children eating enough food to last through the day, particularly if they take part in after-school sports or activities. For athlete David Torok, a senior at Springfield, the additional fruit and vegetable options makes it easier to make good food decisions, he said. “There are a lot more healthy choices,” Torok said. “If you know what you’re getting, you can be more healthy with it, and as an athlete I think it’s awesome.” Contact this reporter at 937-225-2141 or email Mark.Fahey@coxinc.com.; Contact this reporter at 937-225-7389 or email Kyle.Nagel@coxinc.com.; Contact this reporter at 937-225-2414 or email Kelli.Wynn@coxinc.com. “Bucket List Bandit,” because he allegedly told a Utah bank teller that he had just four months to live, just shrugged when asked Thursday if he really were terminally ill, moments after a federal judge ordered him jailed until he can stand trial for a northwestern Pennsylvania bank robbery. U.S. Magistrate Judge Susan Paradise Baxter ordered Michael Eugene Brewster, 54, of Pensacola, Fla., incarcerated after he waived his right to a detention hearing. Had Brewster not waived the hearing, the judge would have had to determine whether Brewster was a risk to flee prosecution or a danger to the community. Both findings were likely given the FBI’s contention that he’s robbed 10 banks in nine states while crisscrossing the country since a heist June 21 in Arvada, Colo. Federal officials have yet to charge Brewster with any heist, but the Sept. 10 robbery of a Huntington National Bank branch in Erie, which is believed to be the last of his string. Two districts await rulings School data continued from A1 The auditor is still analyzing data on schools in two of the districts — Hamilton and Northridge. Springfield City Schools Superintendent David Estrop was thrilled Springfield High School came back as one of two area schools on a list of 21 identified as “clean schools” in the audit. “I think it is important that the people of Springfield know our progress is real and that we are not gaming the system,” Estrop said. Enrolled students’ test scores are used to calculate school building and district report cards by the state Department of Education. “If you have children who are not faring well in the bottom quartile or bottom 10 percent and you remove those students, then mathematically your scores have to go up,” Yost said. He noted that auditors did not delve into motives that school administrators may have had for disenrolling students. State auditors began the investigation with 100 schools in 47 districts throughout the state that were flagged by ODE data based on a high number of withdrawals and other factors. Other area districts that were part of the probe include Dayton Public, Trotwood-Madison, Jefferson Twp., Ansonia, Bradford and Mississinawa Valley. “A quick glance at the report does not indicate that there were any schools in the Dayton area that we need to be particularly concerned about at this point, which is good news,” said state Sen. Peggy Lehner, RKettering, who chairs the Senate Education Committee. Three schools in the Hamilton district and two in Northridge received an “indeterminate” status because the auditor has yet to finish analysis in those buildings. Hamilton spokeswoman Joni Copas said auditors will be back in the district Monday. Northridge Superintendent Dave Jackson said he believes his district was visited later than others. “We continue to be open to a review of our practices and will be working to make improvements if necessary,” he said. Yost said he’ll issue another interim report by Oct. 23, which will detail analysis of the 15 buildings that received indeterminate status as well as a look at districts that have levies or bonds on the Nov. 6 ballot so that voters can be informed. The audit also listed “schools with errors,” which included Ansonia High School, Bradford High School, Dayton’s Meadowdale High School, Jefferson Twp.’s Jefferson High School and two Trotwood-Madison elementary schools and a middle school. Errors are defined as sporad- By then, the FBI had nicknamed the suspect after bank surveillance photos from nine other robberies showed what appeared to be the same suspect, in his early 50s. In each instance, the robber handed the teller a note and claimed to have a gun and, in some instances, claimed to be terminally ill — going so far as to say, “I have four months to live” to a teller in Roy, Utah, on July 6. Although the suspect had a nickname, the FBI didn’t know his real name until a still-unidentified tipster saw news coverage of the Erie heist and called to give agents Brewster’s name and birth date. The FBI filed a criminal complaint for the Erie heist after the teller picked his mug shot out of a photo lineup, and the attached affidavit makes clear the FBI is convinced Brewster is responsible for the earlier robberies. Brewster was arrested Sept. 13 in Roland, Okla., after he ran a stop sign near a casino. When the FBI warrant for the Erie heist showed up on a computer search, Brewster was jailed until he could be brought back to Pennsylvania for Thursday’s court appearance. ic and might include “a lack of documentation, missing student files and incorrect” or unsubstantiated withdraw codes. Lori Ward, superintendent of Dayton Public Schools, which has 15,000 students, said auditors reviewed 126 files from two schools and found errors in nine files at one high school. “We are reviewing the preliminary report and preparing our response to the state auditor,” she said. Bradford Exempted Village Schools Superintendent Dave Warvel said he’s still confused why his rural, 650-student district on the Darke-Miami county line was flagged, but noted it has a high mobility rate among students. “We told them ‘Come on in, we have nothing to hide,’ ” he said of the auditors who spent two days there. The probe could widen in the coming months. The state auditor is working with statisticians from Ohio State University to develop a model based on Ohio Department of Education data from 1998 to 2011 that will flag school buildings that may deserve a deeper look. Yost said a final report is due sometime after Jan. 1. “I’m not sure, frankly, that the quality of a school should be judged entirely upon whether or not they scrubbed some of their students,” Lehner said. “I think there are multiple indicators that can tell us how a school is doing. Hopefully, any parent or any voter would look at all those issues and not just this one.” Lehner said she is inclined to wait until the final report is issued before coming up with legislative fixes to the attendance reporting system. Currently, it’s an honor system that assumes school districts are reporting accurate data. “Obviously, the honor system is not adequate,” Lehner said. Yost said Cleveland Municipal Schools’ records were unauditable and that they aren’t following state law when they declare students truant. Yost made preliminary recommendations: ODE should employ more cross-checks to catch inaccurate or fraudulent data; ODE should remove the ability for districts to see their projected report card scores when they verify the data submitted to the state; and districts should use computer software that tracks changes to student data. Mississinawa Valley Junior/ Senior High School was the other area school listed as “clean” in the audit, with no enrollment issues identified. “Although we were confident with our numbers we reported, an audit is always intimidating,” Mississinawa Valley Superintendent Lisa Wendel said. “It was reassuring to know they found no discrepancies in our enrollment numbers.” So far, the statewide probe has cost the auditor’s office $284,150 and 6,930 hours.

The USS Michael Murphy, a 510-foot destroyer, is being commissioned this weekend in New York City for a Long Island native and Navy lieutenant who became the first American awarded the Medal of Honor in Afghanistan when he was killed along with two fellow SEALs during an ambush in 2005. He was 29. “Here is someone who is just like us,” said Cmdr. Tom Shultz, the commander of the USS Michael Murphy and its crew of 300. “We’ve seen his childhood photos, and you look at those photos and in every single one of them we have that same photo of our childhood.” Already wounded, Murphy left a protected position and went to a clearing where he was exposed to gunfire to get a clear signal to contact Ba- Crew members from the USS Michael Murphy gather at the gravesite of the Navy SEAL during a memorial service at Calverton National Cemetery in Calverton, N.Y., on Tuesday.

He threatened to turn to China, India and Russia for arms. He also accused the Western news media of trying to undermine the confidence of the Afghan people by publishing articles suggesting that a civil war and economic collapse might follow the departure of NATO troops at the end of 2014.

Eighteen students were buried at the Tiantou Primary School and a 19th victim was buried in a house, the official Xinhua News Agency reported, citing local officials. Another person was seriously injured in the landslide, which happened in an area ravaged last month by a deadly earthquake. About 2,000 local people, medics, police and military personnel were trying to rescue the victims, the Yiliang county government said on its website.

A wounded Murphy was credited with risking his own life by moving into the open for a better position to transmit a call for help. He was shot in the back, causing him to drop the transmitter. Murphy picked it back up, completed the call and continued firing. After a two-hour gunfight, Murphy and two fellow SEALs were dead. About 35 Taliban were also killed. The fourth member of their team escaped and was protected by local villagers for several days before he was rescued.

By Brian Stelter Associated Press The new format for the presidential debate prompted plenty of partisan debate online — as did the performance of the moderator, Jim Lehrer. Lehrer’s light touch was widely criticized during and after the debate Wednesday night, particularly by Democrats who felt that President Barack Obama’s Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, was effectively allowed to moderate the debate himself. Speaking to CNN after the debate, Stephanie Cutter, Obama’s deputy campaign manager, said, “I sometimes wondered if we even needed a moderator because we had Mitt Romney. We should rethink that for the next debate.” But conservatives suggested that critiques of Lehrer were just excuses for Obama’s poor performance. Lehrer, 78, the former anchor of the “NewsHour” on PBS, moderated 11 presidential debates between 1988 and 2008. He had sworn off moderating future debates until the Commission on Presidential Debates convinced him to come back this year. Lehrer, who declined an interview request Thursday, said earlier that he was persuaded by the potential of the new format: It allowed for six 15minute conversations, starting each time with a question and two-minute answers from each candidate. The appealed to Lehrer, who has consistently said that his job as moderator is to get out of the way and get the candidates talking. He succeeded in that during Wednesday’s debate. When he did try to get a word in, it was often in phrases like, “excuse me,” “wait” or “please.” Throughout the evening, he strained to interrupt when the candidates went over their allotted time. And at one point he faced a testy Obama, who complained that the moderator had cut him off by saying that time was up. When Obama criticized Romney as failing to provide more specifics about his economic plans, Romney insisted on respond- ing. “No, but,” Lehrer said as Romney kept on going. He spoke for a minute, completing his entire thought without interruption from the moderator. The critiques came from several sides of the media spectrum. “Boy, Jim Lehrer got rolled over,” MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough said Thursday morning. “You could see an exasperated look on Jim’s face when they would just keep plowing right over him,” said Fox News Channel’s Gretchen Carlson. Speaking on CNBC, Steve Liesman offered up what he called a “private-sector solution” to WE’RE ALL ABOUT COVERAGE YOU CAN COUNT ON the moderator dilemma: “Why can’t the two guys take care of themselves?” The complaints about Lehrer seemed loudest from the left. Bill Press started his Current TV show Thursday by saying Lehrer “lost control of the debate, and Mitt Romney ran all over him like a truck crushing a bug.” http://www.facebook.com/hauckbroshvac CALL NOW TO SCHEDULE YOUR FALL FURNACE CHECK!

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2012 • SPRINGFIELD NEWS-SUN • LOCAL. RELEVANT. DEPENDABLE. Post-debate, Obama comes out swinging President accuse Romney with lying about his plans. By Mark Landler and Peter Baker New York Times DENVER — President Barack Obama and his team woke up here Thursday confronted by the realization that he lost his first debate by passively letting Mitt Romney control the conversation. Then the president and his advisers resolved to do what he himself did not the night before. Under fire from fellow Democrats, Obama went on the offensive, accusing Romney of lying to the American people about his plans for the nation. “I met this very spirited fellow who claimed to be Mitt Romney,” Obama told 12,000 supporters during a lakeside rally. “But it couldn’t be Mitt Romney, because the real Mitt Romney has been running around the country for the last year promising $5 trillion in tax cuts that favor the wealthy. The fellow onstage last night said he didn’t know anything about that. “The man onstage last night, he does not want to be held accountable for the real Mitt Romney’s decisions and what he’s been saying for the last year,” the president said. “And that’s because he knows full well that we don’t want what he’s been selling for the last year.” The vigorous assault on Romney suggested just how worried Obama’s campaign has become. The president’s advisers concluded that he had lost his first debate by not pressing Romney enough. After a series of late-night and early-morning consultations, the Obama team resolved to correct that Thursday with a more aggressive stances. David Axelrod, the president’s strategist, called Romney an “artful dodger” whose debate comments were “devoid of honesty,” “rooted in deception,” “untethered to the truth” and “well delivered but fraudulent.” “Not surprisingly, what we learned is he’ll say anything,” Axelrod said. “That makes him effective in the short term but vulnerable in the long term.” He added, “He may win the Oscar for his performance last night, but he’s not going to win the presidency.” The Romney team, feeling rejuvenated, fired back. “In full damagecontrol mode, President Obama today offered no defense of his record and no vision for the future,” said Ryan Williams, a Romney spokesman. “Rather than a plan to fix our economy, President Obama simply offered more false attacks and renewed his call for job-killing tax hikes.” In trying to turn the tables on Romney, the president’s team was hoping to salvage a debate performance widely criticized by Democrats and Republicans alike. Aides described Obama as out of practice at debating and said he made a conscious decision not to bring up some of the campaign’s favorite attack lines of recent months, a decision they left little doubt disappointed them. Now they will have to make what Axelrod called “adjustments” in the president’s approach for the next debate Oct. 16. The “take-away from this debate,” he said, was that they “can’t allow someone to stand there and manhandle the truth.” Campaign officials said they wished Obama had called out Romney on assertions that they said were untrue, although they conceded that some of the weaknesses in the president’s performance were simply part of his approach to debates, which is to shy away from highly personal confrontations. The base wants him “to gut Romney,” one adviser said, but swing voters hate that and the president was trying to find a balance. Even so, Democrats questioned why Obama did not bring up a range of issues they considered favorable to him, including women’s rights, Romney’s taxes and the Republican candidate’s comments about the “47 percent” of Americans who consider themselves “victims” dependent on the government. “The president did well in terms of substance but I think there were opportunities to hold Gov. Romney accountable that may have been missed,” former Gov. Ted Strickland of Ohio, a close ally of the campaign, said in an interview. “But you know, it’s one debate. There are two more.” Romney ‘prep man’ happy with first debate Sen. Rob Portman said a lot of voters are ‘persuadable.’ By Jack Torry Washington Bureau WASHINGTON – Describing Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s debate performance as “terrific,’’ Sen. Rob Portman said “the persuadable voters are now going to listen’’ more carefully to Romney’s message. Portman, R-Ohio, who played President Barack Obama against Romney in the debate preparations, said Romney “talked about what people wanted to hear” in the Wednesday debate in Denver. “It may not show up in the polls immediately, but it’s opened the door for Romney to reach through to these people, and in the end they might give him a chance,’’ Portman said yesterday. “We have a lot of voters who are persuadable.’’ Portman said that most undecided voters know what to expect from the president, which meant Romney had a good chance to impress those same voters by showing that “he had a plan.” Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, who is also his debate practice partner, make an unscheduled stop at a Chipotle restaurant in Denver, Tuesday. ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTO BY CHARLES DHARAPAK “They could hear not only how bad things are, but how they can get better,” said Portman. Portman, who watched the debate backstage with Romney’s aides in Denver, said Obama appeared “uncomfortable,’’ which did not surprise the Ohio senator. Portman said Obama rarely gets “asked any questions; that’s probably why he was uncomfortable.’’ Portman declined to take credit for Romney’s performance, saying that “he did well, not because of the prep, but because he was confident.” Portman said Romney was particularly effective with undecided voters in Ohio. He said that “Ohio has been the No. 1 state for the negative ads against Mitt Romney.

Balanced Views FROM THE LEFT: CHANGING TIMES FROM THE RIGHT: MIDDLE EAST Todd Akin’s mind stuck in pre-enlightened era Leonard Pitts Jr. My Opinion “Ladylike?” It is a telling choice of word. Hearing it used unironically, as wouldbe Missouri senator Todd Akin did last week, one almost feels as if Amelia Earhart never flew a plane and Sally Ride never rode a space shuttle. In an interview last week, he complained that his opponent, Sen. Claire McCaskill, was very aggressive in debating him, unlike her 2006 race, when she was “much more ladylike.” Akin, last heard revealing the existence of a previously unknown mechanism in the female body that shuts down contraception in the event of “legitimate rape,” might want to pen himself a reminder to not talk about women again, ever. He is hardly the only man who has sought recently to police the decorum of female lawmakers. Consider the 2011 email Rep. Allen West sent Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz telling her, “you are not a lady” and “shall not be accorded due respect from me.” And then there’s then-Sen. Arlen Specter’s 2010 shot at Rep. Michele Bachmann during a radio interview: “I’m going to treat you like a lady. So act like one.” One struggles to imagine a male lawmaker being chided to behave in a gentlemanly fashion. The person doing the chiding would be laughed into oblivion and deservedly so — the complaint belongs to the era of handlebar moustaches and highwheeled bikes. This is not to say that a man ought not strive to behave in ways that reflect class, refinement and manners. He should. A woman should, too. Many of us could stand to act as if we’d had the benefit of home training. But this is not about that. It is, rather, about an arrogant, condescending and paternalistic mindset that says a woman cannot be tough, aggressive, competitive, smart or feisty, that if she embodies those traits, so prized in men, she does so at the cost of her own femininity. In this construction, being a “lady” has nothing to do with good home training, and everything to do with being properly deferential and submissive in the presence of testosterone. And yes, you may just want to chalk all this up to a difference of values, to say that Akin, West and Specter are just old-fashioned guys having trouble finding their way in a newfangled world. Obama’s foreign policy unraveling before election But to do that is give them a pass they do not deserve. It is to tell a little girl she must truncate the sprawl and adventure of her personality, prune it back until it fits into a small, dainty box marked “ladylike.” That would be a tragedy. And a betrayal. There is, frankly, a point at which being “oldfashioned” becomes being stubborn, denying unwelcome, unsettling and self-evident change. These fellows are well past that point and our message to them ought to be simply this: If you want to govern in this century, try living in it first. Leonard Pitts Jr. writes for the Miami Herald. Email address: lpitts@miamiherald.com. Jonah Goldberg My Opinion We’re now in the fourth week of the “CSI: Benghazi” hostage crisis. That’s how long an FBI forensic team has been trying to gain access in Libya to what the State Department still calls a crime scene — the Obama administration’s preferred term for the location of the first assassination of a U.S. ambassador since 1979 and the first successful al-Qaida-backed attack on U.S. soil since the 9/11 strikes. (Our embassies and consulates are sovereign U.S. territory.) It is perhaps not accidental that the State Department cites the need to complete the investigation as an excuse to stay silent on the whole matter. There’s more helpful news for an administration that doesn’t want to say anything about terrorism or the Middle East other than “Osama bin Laden’s dead” and “the Iraq war is over.” “There’s a chance we never make it in there,” a source told The New York Times. “Never” may be unacceptable even to this White House, but anything past Nov. 6 will do just fine.

Dionne Charles Krauthammer Leonard Pitts George Will Wednesday Saturday Sunday policy. The U.S.-Israel relationship has become a bad soap opera. Afghanistan is slipping away, as our troops are being killed by the men they’re supposed to be training for the handover. Egypt is now run by the Muslim Brotherhood. Russia casually mocks and defies us. China is rapidly replacing us as an Asian hegemon and rattling sabers at our ally Japan. Most troubling, as Fred and Kimberly Kagan document in the current issue of National Review, Iraq is rapidly becoming an Iranian vassal state. When President Obama entered office, we had nearly 150,000 troops in Iraq and much sway over the course that nation took. Now we have 150 and almost no sway. Sectarian violence is up, and al-Qaida in Iraq is resurgent. Meanwhile, note the Kagans (the intellectuals who helped craft the Iraq surge strategy), Iraqi airspace has become a “critical lifeline for the vicious regime of Bashar Assad,” as he kills thousands of his own people in Syria. They also note that Iraq has become an essential pathway for Iran to circumvent the sanctions intended to prevent it from pursuing a nuclear bomb. There’s a dark irony to all of this. At least until the killing of bin Laden, Obama kept foreign policy out of the headlines so he could concentrate on domestic policy. Even after bin Laden’s death, when Obama started to tout foreign policy to compensate for a sputtering economy, the message was that under Obama, there’s no drama. But making problems easy to ignore isn’t the same thing as solving them. How fitting, then, that the game of kickthe-can faltered just five weeks from Election Day.

By Anne D’Innocenzio Associated Press NEW YORK — Americans may have slowed their spending in September after splurging during the start of the busy back-toschool shopping season in the month before. But most importantly, they were still spending. September sales rose 3.9 percent — a slowdown from the 6-percent rise in August — as 22 retailers like Macy’s and Costco reported mixed results, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers. Still, given the economic and political uncertainty that weighs on many Americans right now, analysts say the results are an encouraging sign for stores as they head into what’s tradition- Grains futures mostly on the rise; beef prices fall Grains futures mostly rose Thursday on the Chicago Board of Trade. Wheat for December delivery fell 3.75 cents to $8.6925 a bushel; December corn added 0.25 cent to $7.57 a bushel; December oats rose 7.50 cents to $3.7075 a bushel; while November soybeans jumped 19.75 cents to $15.5150 a bushel. Beef futures fell and pork futures rose on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. December live cattle fell 0.32 cent to $1.2570 a pound; November feed- 3,149.46 (+14.23) 1,461.40 (+10.4) $1,794.30 (- $2.20) Retailers report slower sales FUTURES & COMMODITIES Wire Reports 13,575.36 (+80.75) er cattle fell 0.98 cent to $1.4582 a pound; while December lean hogs rose 0.18 cent to 76.05 cents a pound. On the New York Board of Trade, Merc. gold rose $16.80 to $1,794.10 per troy ounce. Silver was up 41 cents to $35.041 per troy ounce. American shoppers, such as these in Salem, N.H., spent enough to raise sales 3.9 percent in September. The increase wasn’t as big as August’s 6 percent jump but might be a positive sign as the holidays approach. The holiday shopping season can make up to 40 percent of retailers’ annual revenue and starts next month. ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTO BY ELISE AMENDOLA ally the busiest shopping period of the year in November and December. “This should set up to be a good holiday season,” said Ken Perkins, president of Retail Metrics LLC, a research firm. Retailers’ monthly sales figures are based on revenue at stores opened at least a year. That measure, which is considered to be an indicator of a retailer’s health because it excludes results from stores recent- ly opened or closed, offers insights into how Americans are spending during the slow economic recovery. But only a handful of merchants representing about 13 percent of the $2.4 trillion U.S. retail industry report monthly revenue. And that list is dwindling: Target Corp. on Thursday said that it will no longer report monthly figures starting next year. Target was among those retailers reporting results that fell short of analyst expectations. The discounter said its sales gain of 2.1 percent was below analysts’ expectations as shoppers picked up backto-school items and groceries. September’s results offer hope for retailers as they head into the winter holiday shopping season, a two-month period in which they can make up to 40 percent of their annual revenue. Google, publishers settle suit By Michael Liedtke Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — Google and major book publishers have settled a lengthy legal battle over digital copyrights, but a bigger dispute still looms with thousands of authors who allege that Google is illegally profiting from their works. The truce announced Thursday ends a federal lawsuit filed in 2005 by several members of the Association of American Publishers after Google Inc. began stockpiling its Internet search index with digital duplicates of books scanned from libraries. Publishers and authors insisted that Google needed explicit permission from them before making the digital copies. Google worked out a $125 million settlement with publishers and au- thors in 2008, only to have a federal judge in New York reject it after the U.S. Justice Department and other critics contended that it would thwart competition in the rapidly growing digital book market and flout U.S. copyright law. Terms of the new settlement weren’t divulged, but it won’t require court approval because its reach will be limited to the parties signing on. A10 LOCAL. RELEVANT.

By Juan A. Lozano Associated Press HOUSTON — A naturalized U.S. citizen accused of illicitly obtaining military cutting-edge microelectronics for Russia formally heard the charges against him Thursday in a case reminiscent of the Cold War era. Alexander Fishenko and six others made their initial appearance Thursday in Houston federal court. They did not enter pleas. An eighth defendant appeared in court Wednesday. An indictment unsealed Wednesday accuses Fishenko of scheming to purposely evade strict export controls for the microelectronics. It also charg- Federal agents carry boxes out of Arc Electronics Inc. Wednesday in Houston. A Kazakhstan-born businessman has been charged in the U.S. with being a secret Russian agent involved in a scheme to export microelectronics to Russian military agencies. ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTO es Fishenko with money laundering and operating inside the United States as an unregistered agent of the Russian government. “We’re going to examine the charges very critically,” said his attorney, Eric Reed. “There are some dramatic allegations in the indictment that we want to take a hard look at.” Fishenko was born in the former Soviet Union in what is now Kazakhstan and owns Houston-based Arc Electronics Inc. He and seven others were arrested following raids there by the FBI. His wife, Viktoria, who was identified as a co-owner of her husband’s business but not charged, declined to comment Wednesday. “I will speak when I know what’s going on,” she said. Co-defendant Svetalina Zagon wiped away tears as she was led away after the hearing. Prosecutors say Zagon was a saleswoman at Arc Electronics. The Russian Foreign Ministry in a statement noted that the defendants are not charged with espionage. Officials said diplomats have met with one of the detained suspects. Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich lamented the fact that the United States failed to inform the Russian authorities of the impending arrests. The indictment alleges that since October 2008, the 46year-old Fishenko and his codefendants “engaged in a surreptitious and systematic conspiracy” to obtain the highly regulated technology from U.S. makers and export them to Russia. U.S. authorities say the microelectronics could have a wide range of military uses, including radar and surveillance systems, weapons guidance systems and detonation triggers. They also say the charges come amid a modernization campaign by Russian military officials hungry for the restricted, American-made components. “The defendants tried to take advantage of America’s free markets to steal American technologies for the Russian government,” Loretta Lynch, U.S. attorney in Brooklyn, said in a statement. Stephen L. Morris, head of the FBI office in Houston, called the charges an example of how some countries have sought to bypass export safeguards “to improve their defense capabilities and to modernize weapons systems at the expense of U.S. taxpayers.” Springfield News-Sun Friday, October 5, 2012 B | SPORTS Philly Brown catching on as Ohio State receiver.

By Jay Morrison Staff Writer CINCINNATI — Cincinnati Ben- gals offensive tackle Andre Smith has spent the last two years trying to forget the last time he faced Miami Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake. “I didn’t do too well in that one,” Smith said, referring to a game the Bengals lost 22-14 at Paul Brown Stadium. “It was growing pains. I lived and I learned. I’m not that guy I was then. Night and day.” Smith was a second-year player who was coming off an injury and making his third career start. Wake, an outside linebacker at the time, was in the midst of a 14.5-sack season that would result in a trip to the Pro Bowl. Wake enters Sunday’s game fresh off a 4.5-sack performance in Arizona. “I just see it as an opportunity to go out there and compete against a phenomenal guy,” Smith said.. The 4.5 sacks Wake had Sunday in Arizona were his first of the year, but Dolphins coach Joe Philbin said he’s been a force all year. “In the first three weeks, he had a number of quarterback hurries, knockdowns and hits,” Philbin said. “Obviously, he didn’t have any sacks, but then he had a breakout game. I’m not surprised that he had that kind of production. The guy is just a worker. He’s a football player. He shows up every day and gives you great effort on the practice field and that translates to the game field.” Smith has lined up against quality defensive ends the last two years, but Wake will be one of the best he’s seen. “He will be up to the challenge,” Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden said. “I know he’ll be ready for it. It’s a big year for him. He knows it. I think people last year started to realize he’s the guy we drafted (sixth overall in 2009).” Contact this reporter at 513-820-2193 or email Jay.Morrison@coxinc.com.

ESPN was even there to chronicle their every move, though public address announcer Fred Martin has been known to exaggerate their accomplishments. The guys at Kenton Ridge are so good, they barely even need the chains and markers at this point. They go about their lives 10 yards at a time, so when they get to Friday night, they could walk off the yards in blindfolds if need be. The star of the gang is Mike Minette. He’s on Injured Reserve this year and has been replaced by an up-and-coming chain gang prospect, Aaron Shaffer, the head baseball coach. Minette cuts my hair once a month, so I know the ins and outs of the group, which also includes Judge Tom Capper, Sonnie Mounts, Casper Shaffer and Keith Roeder.

DAYTON DAILY NEWS FILE PHOTO By David Jablonski Staff Writer SPRINGFIELD — It’s one of those strange-but-true stories most Springfielders under 35 have never heard. Thirty years ago this week — Oct. 3, 1982, to be exact — CBS’s top football announcer, Pat Summerall, kicked off a Sunday afternoon of football, as the camera panned over a full house at Wittenberg: “We’re in the heartland of America: Springfield, Ohio,” Summerall said. “This is the stadium: Wittenberg Stadium, the home of the Tigers. It seats 7,000, and today it’s just about packed. Good afternoon, and well, we know it’s Division III football. They’re not as big as the players in the NFL, for sure. They’re probably not ‘There wasn’t anything else going on that day. That’s why CBS put it on.’ Dana Williams Wittenberg running back as talented as they are in the NFL, but they still play with the same amount of intensity, and they still like the game just as much as whatever they play at whatever level. Believe me, after 31 years of every Sunday being associated with the NFL either as a player or broadcaster, it’s nice to be on campus.” The NFL was in the midst of a 57-day strike when CBS sent crews to four Division III games. Its contract with the NCAA called for it to broadcast four D-III games each year, and with NFL reruns during the strike earning low ratings, it lived up to the contract with one day of live football games. Summerall and John Madden, who had yet to gain added fame for putting his name on a video game, got the game in Springfield between the Tigers and their big rival at the time in the Ohio Athletic Conference, Baldwin-Wallace. Eight months earlier, Summerall and Madden announced Super Bowl XVI between the Bengals and 49ers in Detroit. Pat O’Brien, better known these days for having hosted Wittenberg continued on B3 Miguel Cabrera has his Triple Crown. MVP award, maybe not. Hold on, now. How could that be? Mike Trout, that’s how. It’s the hottest debate in baseball, seemingly pitting old-school traditionalists against new-age number crunchers in a bench-clearing shouting match over what constitutes “valuable.” At stake is the American League’s Most Valuable Player award. Cabrera capped an extraordinary season Wednesday night by winning the Triple Crown. The Detroit slugger led the league with a .330 batting average, 44 homers and 139 RBIs. Trout, however, made some history of his own. Called up three weeks into the season, the Los Angeles Angels’ rookie quickly became a never-before-seen force prior to his 21st birthday. Trout batted .326, second to Cabrera, with 30 homers and 83 RBIs. He also led the majors with 49 stolen bases and 129 runs — 20 more than Cabrera in 22 fewer games. Trout is the first rookie to reach 30 homers and 40 steals in one season and the youngest player with a 30-30 campaign. “Divide it in half,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “They both had sensational years.” That would be too easy.

IN BRIEF NHL First two weeks of games canceled The National Hockey League canceled two weeks of the regular season Thursday, the second time games have been lost because of a lockout in seven years. The announcement was made in a two-paragraph statement from the NHL. It isn’t clear if those games will be made up, allowing for a complete 82game regular season, if a deal can be struck soon with the locked out players. Unable to work out how to split up $3 billion in hockey-related revenues with the players’ association, the NHL wiped out 82 games from Oct. 11 through Oct. 24. NASCAR Kyle Busch apologizes for rant Kyle Busch apologized for a profanity-laced rant toward manufacturer Toyota over fuel mileage. Busch was upset during Sunday’s race at Do- ver because a late stop for gas cost him the victory. Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin also had to stop for gas, but winner Brad Keselowski in a Dodge and Jimmie Johnson in a Chevrolet got better mileage and didn’t have to stop. Busch said in a statement his comments about Toyota and Toyota Racing Development were “misguided” and he spoke out of frustration.

RELEVANT. DEPENDABLE. B3 Sports BENGALS NOTES Green takes home AFC honor Receiver puts up stellar numbers in September. By Jay Morrison Staff Writer CINCINNATI — Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green has been named the AFC Offensive Player of the Month for September after leading the conference in two categories and ranking second in another. Green’s 27 receptions are the most in the AFC, and he shares the conference lead with three receiving touchdowns, recording one in each of the last three games. His 428 receiving yards are second most in the AFC behind Miami’s Brian Hartline (455). “It’s just another award. I don’t look at it as a big deal,” Green said. “I don’t worry about those individual awards. I just go out there and do my job and get better every week.” In addition to the three consecutive games with a touchdown, Green has had back-to-back 100yard games, including a career-high 183 two weeks ago at Washington. He also has had at least six catches in each of the last three games after re- cording four games with six or more in 2011. “We’ve known from the start that we are coaching a player with truly superior ability,” Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. “A.J. was the most impressive rookie I’ve ever been around, and his desire to continue getting better and be a team player is just as impressive.” The last Bengal to win a monthly honor was kicker Mike Nugent, who was the AFC Special Teams Player of the Month in September 2010. Former quarterback Carson Palmer was the team’s last AFC Offensive Player of the Month, winning in September 2005. Former end Antwan Odom won the defensive award in September 2009. Hall hopeful: Despite being listed as limited in practice for the second consecutive day Thursday, cornerback Leon Hall appears to be on track for a return to action Sunday against Miami. “I am pretty confident I will play,” said Hall, who missed the last two games. Cornerback Nate Clements (calf ), who missed Sunday’s game in Jacksonville, also practiced on a limited basis for the second consecutive day. Al- HIGH SCHOOL GOLF By Dave Long Contributing Writer MIDDLETOWN — There will be no Division II state high school golf champions from Clark County this year. Neither Shawnee’s Clark Engle — the defending individual champion — nor Kenton Ridge, winner of the 2011 team title, made it out of the DII Southwest District on Thursday at the Weatherwax Golf Club. Engle’s 83 (tied for 14th) was the most shocking score of the day in the D-II field. “Not much I can say,” said Engle. “Most disappointed I’ve ever been. I didn’t hit the fairways on the front nine and came in with a 40. “So I was really pressing when I started the back nine. I went bogey, bogey, bogey, double bogey. Obviously that put me out of it.” Kenton Ridge compiled a 354 team score for 11th place out of 12. Eric Myers had KR’s best individual round with a 78. Oakwood repeated as the D-II district team champion with a 311. West Liberty-Salem sophomore Nick Sims earned one of the two individual qualifying spots in the Division III portion of the district. He tied for round of the day for the small schools, shooting a 75 along with Ishon Ghildyah (Cincinnati Country Day), Jordan Reese (Cedarville) and Sam Steinman (Cincinnati Summit Country Day). That foursome went to a playoff to decide the overall medalist and who got the individual qualifying spots. Ghildyah birdied the first playoff hole to earn medalist honors. He was on the winning team (CCD shot 327, Cincinnati Seven Hills 330 to book trips to state). So Steinman, Sims and Reese played off for two spots Steinman birdied the next hole. So Reese, who was tied for seventh at state last year, and Sims played two holes for the last spot. They both parred the next hole. Sims won it with a par on the fourth hole. West Liberty-Salem came in fourth as a team in D-III (345) while Catholic Central was 10th out the 12 team at 381.

By Mary Cay Cabot The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer Wittenberg head coach Dave Maurer, left, and CBS announcers John Madden and Pat Summerall talk during practice in 1982. DAYTON DAILY NEWS FILE PHOTO Reunion planned Saturday Wittenberg continued from B1 entertainment shows like Access Hollywood and The Insider, was the sideline reporter. Wittenberg had to move the game from Saturday to Sunday, which it initially was hesitant to do. The game was shown coast-to-coast, except in nine southern states where another Division III game, West Georgia at Millsaps, aired. “The intensity at practice all week for the Baldwin-Wallace game was always at the highest level,” said Jeff Nichols, a 1979 North graduate who played defensive back for the Tigers. “But the added attraction of CBS being there made it even more intense. We enjoyed John and Pat coming out to practice. I remember them sitting down against the fence, watching us practice and talking to the players and getting a feel for who’s who and what’s what, so they would be prepared for the game on Sunday.” The broadcasting team arrived three to four days in advance of the game. Madden, who famous- Shawnee will beat Tecumseh Wizard continued from B1 some reason, this helps when they have to flip the down marker. Sure, it’s a lot of work for five nights a year, but it’s all worth it when a team gets a first down and they get to move 10 yards to the left — or the right.

The Wizard went 11-3 last week, bringing my season total to 5725. ly avoided airplanes then and now, took a train from New York City to Toledo and drove to Springfield. “I’m excited about it,” he said that week. “I volunteered for this when I first heard about it. I really did. Last week we ran a replay of the Super Bowl and sat in the studio and talked about the strike. Shoot, that’s boring.” Brian Timm, a student manager in 1982, recalls watching film with Madden and Summerall. “John Madden was running the projector,” he said. “He sat with the coaches and moved the plays back and forth, asking about certain players. I remember clear as day Pat Summerall sitting in the back of the room smoking cigarettes and not paying much attention.” Maurer kept the Tigers focused on the game throughout the week. “There wasn’t anything else going on that day,” said Wittenberg running back Dana Williams, who now lives in Dublin, Ohio. “That’s why CBS put it on.” Before kickoff, Maurer did a pregame interview with O’Brien on the field. “We’re now with Dave Maurer, the winningest coach in college football, percentage-wise,” O’Brien said. “Is that right? “That’s what they tell me,” Maurer said “Got any surprises for them, Coach?” “No, we don’t. I just hope they block and tackle.” Despite a 357-206 advantage in total yards, Wittenberg lost 16-14 when B-W hit a 47-yard field goal with 10 minutes left. An injury to starting quarterback Dave Tobias didn’t help the Tigers, but backup quarterback Ron Groh threw a 46-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to make it close. Wittenberg had first-and-10 at the Baldwin-Wallace 42 when its final drive stalled. A number of Wittenberg players from that 1982 team will reunite Saturday before the 1 p.m. homecoming game against Wabash. These days, the memories are bittersweet because one senior on that team, Mark Barren, died of a heart attack in June 2011. He was 51 and the head coach at Columbus Academy. Mark’s brother John was a freshman, and at one point against B-W, they were both lined up to receive a kick. Barren’s funeral brought many players back together, and they resolved to reunite more often. They can revisit that game anytime they wantby watching it on DVD. “I always tell the guys, as much as we watch it, we always end up losing,” Timm said.

CLEVELAND — Cleveland Browns new owner Jimmy Haslam said Thursday through a team spokesman that personnel changes are “not something we’ll discuss until after the year.” That means despite the Browns’ 0-4 record, Haslam apparently has no plans to overhaul the staff during the season. Asked about the comment after practice, head coach Pat Shurmur said, “Right now we’re trying to get our first victory. That’s my focus right now.” In an interview on FOX Business, Haslam sounded positive about the team. “I don’t think anybody thinks 0-4 [is acceptable] and certainly [President] Mike Holmgren and [coach] Pat Shurmur don’t think it is and we don’t think it is,” Haslam said. “But we’ve got a young team. We’re building. “I think we’re heading in the right direction. We don’t officially own the team yet and we’ve said all along that we’re not going to make any comments on personnel until after we own the team. “That’s in about two weeks. And, candidly, we’ll be halfway through the football season then, so any personnel decisions we’d make would be toward the end of the year.” Haslam, who will be approved as the Browns new owner Oct. 16 in Chicago, attended practice Thursday and spent time with Northwestern 14.

REAL NEWS. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2012 | C5 Baseball MLB POSTSEASON AL WILD CARD BASEBALL PLAYOFFS O’s set All or nothing in 1 game with starter today Players, coaches divided over method for settling new wild-card format. Associated Press Joe Saunders is looking beyond previous struggles with the Rangers. By Eduardo A. Encina The Baltimore Sun ARLINGTON, TEXAS — Ori- oles manager Buck Showalter selected left-hander Joe Saunders to start the O’s do-or-die AL wild-card playoff game against the Texas Rangers tonight at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Saunders, acquired Aug. 26 from the Arizona Diamondbacks in a trade that send right-handed reliever Matt Lindstrom to Arizona, has struggled mightily in six career starts at Texas, going 0-6 with a 9.38 ERA. Rookie right-hander Steve Johnson was another option, but Showalter said the team wasn’t sure if Johnson’s strained knee would be a detriment. “Joe is rested,” Showalter said. “He’s ready to go. Obviously, (he has) experience. He’s pitched some in the playoffs and we had a couple options. We weren’t real sure 100 percent about Stevie’s knee. ... We’ve said it many times, our No. 1 starter is the guy who’s pitching that day. Our whole rotation has been the sum of the parts and Joe’s pitched well for us since he’s been here, and he has a tough task ahead of him.” Saunders, who spent much of his career pitching in the AL West with the Angels, is 3-7 with a 6.48 ERA in 11 career starts against the Rangers. The 31-year-old lefty is 01 with a 6.00 ERA in four postseason starts. “It’s been a see-saw kind of deal,” Saunders said about his past stuggles in Texas. “I’ve had some good games here and I’ve had some bad games here. I think everybody has good games and bad games at certain ballparks. So you just go out there and do whatever you can to help the team win, and that’s what they asked me to do and that’s my job.” Saunders is 3-3 with a 3.63 ERA in seven starts with the Orioles this season, going at least 6 ⅓ innings in each of his last five starts. “It’s a huge opportunity,” Saunders said. “... I am going to embrace it, not change anything and go out there and hopefully get a W.” By sometime tonight, either Chipper Jones will be out of baseball or the defending World Series champion Cardinals will be out of the playoffs. One and done. A pair of wild-card matchups — St. Louis at Atlanta, then Baltimore at Texas — to decide which teams advance to the next round. Part of the new, expanded postseason format, where 162 games, six months of grinding and upward of 50,000 pitches get boiled down to nine all-or-nothing innings. Dramatic? Certainly. Fair? Well, depends on who you ask. “I hate it. I’m oldschool. I’m old,” Washington manager Davey Johnson said. At 69, he has a vested interest. His NL East champion Nationals will visit the Cardinals-Braves winner Sunday in Game 1 of the division series. “I love it,” Cleveland closer Chris Perez said. “If you are in it, or watching it as a fan, it doesn’t get any more exciting.” Or, as Texas general manager Jon Daniels summed up on the eve of his team’s big game: “I’ll let you know tomorrow.” Clearly, several sides to this debate. Major League Baseball hoped to get more clubs involved in postseason races, and the Angels, Dodgers, Brewers, Rays and Pirates were among those that enjoyed the chase this year. There also was some SAN FRANCISCO — In a perfect world, Stephen Strasburg might be on the mound in the nation’s capital, Mariano Rivera closing it out in the Bronx and Melky Cabrera delivering a hit by the bay. Bartolo Colon would be starting for Oakland, Ryan Madson pitching the ninth in Cincinnati. Call this the depleted Patrick Semansky/Associated Press sentiment that wild-card teams were getting it too easy and winning the World Series too often, as the Cardinals did last season. By adding an extra playoff club in each league and then forcing it to play in a winner-takeall game, that could make the path tougher. That’s OK by Cardinals manager Mike Matheny, whose team clinched the majors’ final playoff spot this year. “We’re ecstatic. We’d be home right now. We’d be spectators, so we’re exceptionally happy about the format,” he said. “The fact that we have to use up a pitcher, it makes sense to me. I believe the team that wins the division ought to have an advantage. I think it’s been well done,” he said. On the other hand, a club that runs into the wrong pitcher could be WINNER TAKE ALL There have been nine one-game playoffs in major league history. Here’s a look back at each: Date Oct. 4, 1948 Oct. 2, 1978 Oct. 6, 1980 Oct. 2, 1995 Sept. 28, 1998 Oct. 4, 1999 Oct. 1, 2007 Sept. 30, 2008 OCT. 6, 2009 Result Cleveland 8, Boston 3 New York 5, Boston 4 Houston 7, Los Angeles 1 Seattle 9, California 1 Chicago 5, San Francisco 3 New York 5, Cincinnati 0 Colorado 9, San Diego 8 (13) Chicago 1, Minnesota 0 Minnesota 6, Detroit 5 (12) eliminated in a hurry. “I think for teams like Atlanta — who had an unbelievable year, and it could be ruined by one game — it’s probably unfair,” Washington first baseman Adam LaRoche said. “Now, in one game, any given day, a college team could beat a big league team. It’s just the way the ball rolls. So I don’t know how much one game proves as far as who deserves to move on,” he At stake AL pennant AL East title NL West title AL West title NL Wild Card NL Wild Card NL Wild Card AL Central title AL Central title said. “You almost have to do it two out of three. But then you get other teams sitting around for a week. So I don’t know the right way to do it.” Braves second baseman Dan Uggla isn’t a fan. “I’m not for this new playoff thing at all,” he said. “They’re kind of messing things up for everybody.” This could be the last game for Uggla’s star teammate, with Jones set to retire at age 40. postseason. Almost every club headed to the playoffs has dealt with a devastating loss of some sort. The Bay Area took the biggest hit — with a long list of absent players on the Giants and Athletics. Each club moved forward seemingly unfazed, with San Francisco winning its second NL West title in three years and Oakland capturing the AL West crown on the regular season’s final day against the Texas Rangers. “Twenty-nine teams are going to finish with a loss, and I’d say the No. 1 reason is health, which makes it more spectacular where we are,” Oakland’s Jonny Gomes said. Both teams also lost a key player because of PEDs, both to positive testosterone tests exactly one week apart. First it was Cabrera on Aug. 15, then Colon on Aug. 22. Ending Strasburg’s season early was a frontoffice decision. Washington made the call to shut down its prized pitcher based on workload after 159⅓ innings and a 15-6 record. Since early May, the New York Yankees have coped without career saves leader Rivera, who underwent right knee surgery in June. Cabrera tested positive for testosterone and received a 50-game suspension in mid-August. The Giants since decided not to bring him back at all in the postseason if they’re still playing when he’s eligible. Cincinnati missed Madson, who’s out for the year with a torn ligament in his elbow, and fellow relievers Nick Masset and Bill Bray also were lost before the year began. Even manager Dusty Baker spent a stint away from the team because of a mini-stroke and irregular heartbeat. MLB NOTES Red Sox are quick to fire Valentine Associated Press Baltimore lefty Joe Saunders is 0-6 in six career starts at Rangers Ballpark. Brant Sanderlin/Atlanta Journal-Constitution For the Braves’ Chipper Jones, who is retiring at the end of the season, the one game playoff against the Cardinals could be his last game. Playoff teams survive setbacks By Janie McCauley Associated Press The Boston Red Sox thought Bobby Valentine would restore order to a coddled clubhouse that disintegrated during the 2011 pennant race. Instead, he only caused more problems.

Valentine went 69-93 in his only year in Boston, the ballclub’s worst season in almost 50 years. “I understand this decision,” Valentine said. “This year in Boston has been an incredible experience for me, but I am as disappointed in the results as are ownership and the great fans of Red Sox Nation.” Release of Gehrig’s medical records sought: Some Minnesota lawmakers hope to force the release of Lou Gehrig’s medical records, saying they might provide insight into whether the Yankees star died of the disease that came to take his name or whether repetitive head trauma played some kind of role. Their effort comes despite opposition from Mayo Clinic, which holds the records, and skepti- cism from experts that the records alone would prove anything. Overall attendance up: The average attendance for a Major League Baseball game rose 1.8 percent this year to its highest level since the 2008 season. The 30 teams averaged 30,895 fans per game, the commissioner’s office said, up from 30,362 last season. Baseball’s average peaked at 32,785 in 2007.

Kris Medlen is ready for another start. Only this time, it’s the biggest game of his career. The diminutive righthander, who didn’t even start the season in Atlanta’s rotation, will deliver the first pitch in the inaugural wild-card playoff against the defending World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals. The Braves couldn’t have asked for anyone better in the winner-take-all format, considering they haven’t lost a start by Medlen (10-1, 1.57 ERA) in more than two years. Just stop reminding him about it. “It’s not me by myself,” said Medlen, who always snacks on a peanut butter and honey sandwich before his starts. “I’ve given up four or five runs in a start, and guys pull it out for me. My name is in the books or whatever, but it’s a team thing. I didn’t do it all by myself, that’s for sure.” The Braves have won 23 consecutive starts by Medlen — a modern big league record. He eclipsed the mark held by a pair of Hall of Famers, Carl Hubbell and Whitey Ford. “You can’t help but notice when someone’s having the amount of success that he’s had,” said Kyle Lohse, who will start for the Cardinals. “It’s impressive what he’s done. Obviously, the team plays very well behind him, and to be that consistently good to keep your team in games or win games says a lot about what kind of pitcher he is. “I expect him to keep doing what he’s been doing out there,” Lohse added, “and my job is to do the same thing that he’s doing. Go out there and shut down their team.” No one is quite sure what to expect from the one-game format, which was added this year when Major League Baseball expanded the playoff field by adding a second wildcard team in each league. “We know the necessity to make it like a Game 7,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. “But I also want these guys to go out and play the game we’ve been playing.” David Tulis/Associated Press Kris Medlen has posted a 10-1 record and a 1.57 ERA this season for the Braves.

Urbana (5-1): Hillclimbers are a lock to make the Region 11 playoffs and likely will host a first-round game; QB Nathan Mays has thrown for 1,231 yards and 20 TDs; host Ben Logan. 4.

By Doug Harris Staff Writer COLUMBUS — Offensive linemen are known for having a thankless job, but Ohio State’s Philly Brown made sure he expressed his gratitude for some much-needed help he received from right tackle Reid Fragel against Michigan State last week. Brown fumbled after making a short reception in the first quarter and was too tangled up in traffic to retrieve the ball. But much to his relief, Fragel pounced on it with his 6foot-8, 310-pound frame, saving the Buckeyes from a costly turnover in a tight win. “When we got to the sidelines, I went up to him and said, ‘Thank you,’ and gave him a hug,” Brown said. “I usually never fumble. And when I fumbled, I was kind of down. ... He helped me get back to (being) myself. He said, ‘Cheer up.’ He said he’s got me. “That was the longest play ever to see the ball bouncing around. And to see big Reid jump on it, that made me feel good.” Brown may have needed a pep talk from a teammate to forget about his gaffe, but the junior’s consistent play all season has given the Buckeyes a lift. He had 12 catches against the Spartans — NEXT GAME Who: Ohio State (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten) vs. Nebraska (4-1, 1-0) When: 8 p.m. Saturday Where: Ohio Stadium TV: ABC Radio: WING-AM (1410) PILING UP THE CATCHES Top five Ohio State receiving games: Year Receptions Player 14 David Boston 1997 13 Boston 1996 13 Gary Williams 1981 12 Philly Brown 2012 12 Billy Anders 1966 12 Bob Grimes 1952 one of the all-time top-five receiving days at OSU – and is tied for the Big Ten lead with 32 receptions this season. Brown also has tied former Buckeye star Terry Glenn for the most receptions through five games in program history. He had four first-down grabs against the Spartans and has become a dependable possession receiver. “I’m glad coach Herman has developed so much trust in me that he can call that many plays for me,” Brown said, referring to offensive coordinator Tom Herman. Brown already has 18 more catches than he had last season when he tied for the team lead. “He’s really improved, and it couldn’t happen to a guy that’s more committed to excellence right Opponent Penn State Indiana Florida State Michigan State Washington Pittsburgh now. The good thing is he’s not near what he can be,” coach Urban Meyer said. “He’s earned that. He’s our guy to go to right now in certain situations. I’m very proud of him.” But Meyer couldn’t resist needling Brown for a relatively paltry 84 receiving yards against the Spartans, a 7.0 average. “He’s allowed to make a guy miss once in a while, get more than 8 yards,” Meyer said.

Springfield News-Sun Friday, October 5, 2012 C | LOCAL Kasich administration fails to meet deadline. C2 News: 937-328-0346 | Delivery: springfieldnewssun.com/subscribe or 937-323-5878 ELECTION 2012 Doors at board briefly locked CRIME & COURTS Woman freed from prison Prosecutor said release doesn’t mean innocence. 4 convicted in death; 3 have been released. By Tiffany Y. Latta Staff Writer The doors to the Clark County Board of Elections were locked briefly on Wednesday before early voting was scheduled to end. Michael Trimmer Whipp, 62, said his wife went to the board of elections at 3130 E. Main St. just before or at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday to cast an absentee ballot, but was unable to get inside the building. “She was quite irritated. She scrambled to get over there and the doors were locked,” Trimmer Whipp said. Clark County Board of Elections Director Matt Tlachac initially disputed Trimmer Whipp’s claim, saying his office was open until 5 p.m. as required by a state directive. He learned later from staff members that the office doors were still set to automatically lock at 4:30 p.m. Staff members discovered the issue at 4:31 p.m., he said, and remedied the problem. “We were all standing there. There were people in there. It’s not that we were telling people they couldn’t come in. It shouldn’t have happened but it did,” Tlachac said. More than 1,010 voters have cast absentee ballots so far. About 900 Clark County early voters have voted in-person. Tlachac said one person who complained about being unable to vote mistakenly went to his polling location in his precinct instead of to the board of elections office on East Main Street. “There’s a lot of confusion this year. We’re trying to direct people to our website because the calls are insurmountable,” Tlachac said. Voters can cast absentee ballots at their county board of elections office in person through Nov. 2, mail in their absentee ballots or vote on Election Day on Nov. 6. Champaign County has had a total of 2,236 people cast absentee ballots since early voting began Oct. 2. About 149 people have voted in-person. “We’ve not had any problems,” said Meredith Bodey, Champaign County deputy director. However, the office has fielded numerous calls from Champaign County voters who have questions about early voting and voter registration. Bodey said some voters have asked if they can cast absentee ballots at their regular poll location and expressed concern about whether absentee ballots are counted on Election Day. Some were unaware about the option to update voter registration address information online and that they could vote before Election Day, she said.

The recent ruling means three of the four women convicted of killing 49-year-old John Deselem in the parking lot at the mall have now been released from prison. Alicia McAlmont was freed from prison Friday after the state affirmed that her right against double jeopardy — a rule that forbids someone being tried twice on the same charge — was violated when she was convicted in 2009. “I’m sure she’s happy to have this behind her,” attor- ney Charles Blue said. McAlmont, along with Toneisha Gunnell, Mahoghany Patterson and Renada Manns stole a car in Columbus on June 7, 2005, and took $3,500 worth of clothing from Macy’s at the mall. With story security in pursuit, the four fled in the car, hitting and killing Deselem as he either stepped off the curb or attempted to stop them.

STAFF PHOTO BY MARSHALL GORBY Man injured alerting others to fire in house Lamp knocked over is likely cause of the fire, state fire marshal says. By Mark Fahey A fire at a home in Donnelsville had firefighters working for six hours Thursday, starting at 4:40 a.m. Efforts to extinguish the house fire were led by the Bethel Twp. Fire Department and involved 6 other fire departments, with five tankers, three fire engines and one ladder at the scene, blocking U.S. 40 until the site was cleared at 11:07 a.m. The building’s three occupants were home when the fire started. All three escaped the fire, but one man on the first floor was taken to Miami Valley Hospital for treatment for minor burns to his face and hair and for smoke inhalation. The man had gone upstairs to wake the other two occupants. Flames were first spotted coming from several windows by a Bethel Twp. ambulance crew. A neighbor also noticed the fire and called authorities. The house was fully ablaze within minutes from when it was called in, said officials at Bethel Township. State Fire Marshal investigators determined that the likely cause of the fire was a lamp that was knocked over into a chair. No evidence of criminal activity was found in the examination of the scene and interviews with the occupants. Two cats and a dog were missing after the fire; the remains of one cat and one dog were recovered later. The house, an older structure, was destroyed by the fire.

SPRINGFIELD — Springfield vot- ers cited the war in Afghanistan and jobs as key issues they want to see the presidential candidates discuss more in debates. The Springfield News-Sun interviewed residents downtown Thursday to get their reactions to Wednesday’s presidential debate on domestic policy between Democratic President Barack Obama and his Republican challenger former Gov. Mitt Romney. We talked candidly with three area residents — two of whom said they identify with the major political parties and a third who described herself as an independent. Republican Springfield resident Richard Fennessey said he generally votes Republican but had remained undecided prior to the debate. Romney’s arguments on Wednesday, though, swayed him to the Republican’s side. Debate reaction continued on C2 SPRINGFIELD Traveling memorial to arrive Saturday By Andrew McGinn Staff Writer SPRINGFIELD — It’s easy to see the fallen sons and brothers of any era in the life-sized paintings that make up the Lima Company Memorial of 25 Marines and one Navy corpsman killed in Iraq. Mike Strahle sees his friends. Strahle was a member of Lima Company during a 2005 deployment to Iraq, when the Columbus-based Marine Reserve unit lost 23 men in a seven-month period. The 28-year-old Columbus resident is now director of the traveling memorial that will visit the terminal at the Springfield-Beckley Municipal Airport on Saturday and Sunday. “No matter what your opinion on the war, everyone seems to have a universally powerful reaction to the paintings,” Strahle said. For a year now, Strahle has traveled from venue to venue with the memorial — something that has helped him make peace with what happened. “It seems like the deployment was one big massacre,” he said. In reality, he explained, it was “a very successful deployment with three very bad days.” One of those bad days was May 11, 2005. Strahle was one of 14 Marines riding in an amphibious assault vehicle near the Syrian border when they were rocked by a roadside bomb. Six were killed. Strahle survived, but with widespread shrapnel wounds. Another roadside bomb, on Aug. 3, 2005, killed another 14, he said. The others were lost to small arms fire. “We weren’t able to stop and mourn until the mission was done,” he said. Back in Ohio, Westerville The Lima Company Memorial will be on display this weekend at the Springfield airport.

As he put it, “They might as well be standing right in front of you.” Springfield resident Alan Banion, a Vietnam veteran, saw the memorial this year in Troy, and thought it would be good to display locally. Next year, the memorial heads to the U.S. Capitol. “It struck home for us,” Banion said. “We had a nephew killed in Afghanistan three years ago.” Contact this reporter at 937328-0352 or email Andrew.McGin n@coxinc.com.

RELEVANT. DEPENDABLE. C3 Local & state HEALTH CARE Ohio: Clarify health rule State misses deadline on ‘Obamacare,’ seeks more federal guidance. By Catherine Candisky The Columbus Dispatch Gov. John Kasich’s administration did not meet this past week’s deadline for establishing the minimum benefits Ohioans will be entitled to in 2014 under the federal health-care law. In a letter to federal regulators, Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor, an opponent of the Affordable Health Care Act or “Obamacare,” cited a lack of information and guidance for Ohio’s failure to submit its list of “essential health benefits.” The federal health-care law required states to set the minimum benefits that insurers must include in the health coverage they offer. The decisions will affect those who will purchase individual and smallgroup policies and, more immediately, insurance companies who must by 2014 develop their plans and determine how much they cost. President Barack Obama’s domestic-policy centerpiece, the health-care law listed 10 general categories of essential benefits, including preventative care, emergency-room services and prescription drugs, but left it largely to states to specify coverage available to their residents. In December, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued a bulletin advising states that they could select an existing health plan in their states as a benchmark. Still, some of the required services are not included in many current plans in Ohio. Taylor, in a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, said “the bulletin falls short of meeting states’ real needs for clarification, guidance and interpretation and cannot substitute for the authority of the rule.... “Ultimately, a rule, proposed or otherwise, needs to be issued so states can best understand their essential healthbenefits-related obligations.” Essential benefit requirements apply to insurance plans sold through online health exchanges, which will be set up in each state by 2014, and those sold elsewhere. The law does not preclude insurers from offering more-comprehensive policies. Prosecutor ‘respects’ court ruling McAlmont continued from C1 An appeals court overturned a November 2005 conviction and ordered a new trial, saying a prospective black juror was improperly dismissed. A second trial in 2007 ended when Clark County Common Pleas Judge Doug Rastatter declared a mistrial after a juror researched two legal terms online after deliberations had started. In 2009, Gunnell, McAlmont and Patterson were found guilty and sentenced to 18 years to life in a third trial. Redistricting cost: estimated $15M By Jim Siegel and Alan Johnson The Columbus Dispatch State Issue 2, the proposed constitutional amendment on redistricting, would cost taxpayers up to $15.2 million to implement over eight years, according to a new state fiscal analysis. Supporters of the plan dismissed the estimate as “comically high.” The cost estimate was calculated by the state Office of Budget and Management at the request of Secretary of State Jon Husted. A cost estimate is required for ballot issues. The budget office said that most of the cost — an estimated $9 million to $12.9 million — would have to be spent during the first two years if voters on Nov. 6 approve the proposal to revamp how boundary lines are drawn for congressional and state legislative districts. Under the plan, new lines would be drawn immediately for the 2014 elections, and then would be drawn again in 2021 after the next census. The money would pay for setting up a redistricting commission, including staff members. The remainder, $2 million to $2.3 million, would be incurred in the remaining six years. District boundaries are now redrawn every 10 years in processes controlled by the majority political party. Voters First Ohio, a coalition including the Debate didn’t cover major issues Debate reaction continued from C1 “I was a little unsure this time because I was mainly getting tired of the mudslinging,” Fennessey said. “(Romney) was aggressive. He was standing up for what he believed and that’s what I wanted to see.” The comparison between the candidates’ business policies were the most important topic of this debate for Fennessey, he said. “Let’s get him in there and let him try it,” he said. “I mean, look at the four years that we’ve Official says problem remedied Election continued from A1 “Most people are aware. But we’ve had some people who didn’t know they were able to do this,” Bodey said. Gunnell and McAlmont appealed the sentence, citing double jeopardy. Patterson and Manns took a plea deal in 2010 and were sentenced to 10 and 11½ years, respectively, with credit for time served. Gunnell won her appeal on July 19 when a divided Ohio Supreme Court ruled that Rastatter erred when he declared a mistrial in Toneisha Gunnell’s 2007 trial and that the third trial violated her right against being tried again on the same charges. Patterson was granted judicial release July 25 when Clark County Prosecutor Andy Wilson and Rastatter agreed she, too, should be freed from prison as a result of the state’s ruling. “Realistically, once the Gunnell decision came out, we knew it was only a matter of time,” Blue said.

Watch WHIO Reports at 10:30 .m. Sunday on Channel 7. League of Women Voters of Ohio, Democrats and unions, is trying to take the partisan gerrymandering out of the process by creating an appointed 12-member citizens redistricting commission. “We have been hearing for weeks that OBM was preparing a comically high cost estimate, and they did not disappoint with the whopper they sent out today,” said Sandy Theis, spokeswoman for Voters First. “We are confident Issue 2 can be implemented at a much, much, much lower cost, and we know the benefits to Ohio will be invaluable.” Republicans have sharply criticized Issue 2 for a number of reasons, including the potential cost. “Issue 2’s exorbitant price tag is not surprising,” said Carlo LoParo, spokesman for the GOPcreated Protect Your Vote Ohio. “As voters learn more about this out-of-touch proposal, they will conclude that $15 million is a lot to spend for a commission that is not accountable to the taxpayers or their elected representatives.” Budget director Tim Keen cautioned in a letter to Husted that the costs are only estimates because the commission is “a new entity of a type that has no precedent in Ohio.” He said the final cost would be affected by the legislature, the commission and any resulting legal actions. The estimates, Keen wrote, are based on an analysis in 2005 of a proposed redistricting plan, costs related to California’s new citizen redistricting commission, and the cost of Ohio’s current map-drawing process. That process includes a variety of personnel and office-related costs, including attorneys and a pair of consultants who were had so far.” He said he’s looking forward to hearing their thoughts on the war in Afghanistan, possibly during the next presidential debate on Oct. 16. wasn’t hitting close to home for me as a veteran,” Wilson said. “This war that’s been going on is nonsense. It’s been nonsense since the Bush administration.” Democrat Thomas Wilson of Springfield said he generally votes as a Democrat, though he’s leaning independent this year. “President Obama was pretty solid, but surprisingly enough, Mitt Romney really articulated himself a lot better than he has in the past,” Wilson said. Obama talked in circles a bit, he said, while Romney was good with his rebuttals. He said he also wants to hear the candidates debate foreign policy. Wilson is a Navy veteran. “I really didn’t care too much about what they said because it Independent Springfield resident Barbara Strelsky said she identifies herself as an independent, but nothing in last night’s debate sold her on either candidate in terms of the most important issue to her — job creation. “ I still don’t see any really clear plan for job creation,” Strelsky said “They both keep saying they’re going to create jobs but still don’t have a clear plan as to how this is going to happen. OK, we’re going to train all these new people for new technical jobs. Well, how do you plan on doing that while still keeping people from starving to paid $105,000 each. The amendment says that commission members can set their salaries and request funding that is “necessary” to draw the maps. The budget office estimates that the cost of the 12 commission members will be $1.2 million for the first two years, or $100,000 per member, for 20hour workweeks in year one, and five-hour workweeks in year two. It estimates the cost of an executive director and a dozen other staff members for the first two years at $1.7 million. Those costs include wages, plus 30 percent for fringe benefits. Keen estimates $2 million to $4 million for the initial selection and training costs for staff and commission members. “Given the short timeline and the potentially large number of applications, this eligibility checking could be a costly endeavor,” Keen wrote, saying the estimate is based on costs experienced in California. Keen also estimates litigation costs of $4.25 million to $5.25 million, also based on California figures.

Manns’ request for judicial release was denied. After the July Supreme Court ruling, Wilson stressed that officials did their best to protect the rights of the victim and the defendants and added that the release of the women did not mean that they were innocent.

IN BRIEF NORTON Chief: Cuts delayed response to fire A fire chief says cutbacks in his department delayed the response to a fire that consumed a northern Ohio church. Authorities said the fire late Wednesday destroyed The Father’s House Church in Norton, near Akron. Media reports said 13 departments responded to the fire, but faced challenges putting it out due to lack of fire hydrants in the area. Norton Fire Department Chief Mike Schultz said the effort was also hampered by the fact there were no firefighters on duty in the city when the fire was reported at about 11:30 p.m. Schulz said staffing had to be cut after a local levy failed in March. Now there are no firefighters on duty from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. Voters also defeated a levy last November. MANSFIELD Convention goes paranormal It’s not Halloween yet, but psychics, mediums and ghost hunters are coming together this weekend in northern Ohio. Those folks and other enthusiasts of the supernatural will gather this weekend at a Mansfield hotel for the area’s first Paranormal Convention.

Paranormal investigators also plan visits to supposedly haunted sites in the area. COLUMBUS Math instructor, coach is top teacher A math instructor who coaches varsity girls’ volleyball in suburban Columbus has been named the 2013 Ohio Teacher of the Year. The Ohio Department of Education says Carole Morbitzer of Hamilton Township High School was surprised with the announcement Wednesday night before a volleyball game. Principal Jim Miller says Morbitzer enjoys teaching students who don’t like math and has shown she can build their confidence in tackling the subject. He says she’s a good teacher, leader and community partner. She also has received awards for her work in coaching and in fundraising for breast cancer research as a volunteer with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure network. Morbitzer has taught in the area since 1995 and has worked at Hamilton Township High School since 2006. COLUMBUS Officials settle more stun gun cases Commissioners in a central Ohio county have agreed to settle the legal cases of four more former jail inmates shocked with stun guns. The four settlements approved Wednesday by Franklin County commissioners totaled $61,500. They were on top of an- other four that commissioners agreed to settle in the past year. The Columbus Dispatch reports that the settlements were tied to a federal class-action lawsuit that accuses deputies of using excessive force. The Ohio Legal Rights Service, a state agency that claimed deputies were violating the constitutional rights of prisoners, filed the suit in 2010. The county admits no wrongdoing in each settlement. Prosecutor Ron O’Brien said the payouts are more “cost-effective” than a trial. LANCASTER, CALIF.

If the person calling you does not ask for the confirmation number, DO NOT provide any personal billing information to the caller. USE CAUTION: Be aware of an offer from anyone who proposes to send you a cashier’s check and then have you wire the balance. This is fraud. Banks will cash these counterfeit checks but hold you responsible for the amount when they fail to clear. Trust your instincts. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Transactions with local buyers and sellers are safest. Do not wire funds to a distant buyer, regardless of carrier.

Go online for more of Nancy Wilson and K99.1 FM, at K99online.com. Nancy Wilson Gone Country I had a chuckalicious moment this week at Cox Media Group, as some of my co-workers were gearing up for the annual fall weight-loss challenge. Monday was the initial weigh- in, and everyone was snacking to get higher numbers so next week’s losses would be huge. The ladies were noting how NewsCenter 7’s James Brown is always a tough competitor. Of course he is. He’s a guy! Men can just picture themselves thinner and poof! Off comes the weight! My morning show co-host Frye Guy recently lost more than 20 pounds just by being cute and having an infectious laugh. Take heart mortal women, even celebrities have their vices! While it is true it’s their job to look like they walked off Mount Olympus at all times and they can well afford to work out seven hours a day with a personal trainer and have a chef preparing their meals, at the end of the day, they’re just like us. Sort of. Carrie Underwood, often found on the list of “sexiest vegetarians,” is extremely conscientious when it comes to food. Yet she recently told The Tennessean she has her Achilles’ heel. “I’m good with that. But, that’s not to say we won’t stop at a truck stop occasionally and I won’t grab a bag of Doritos.” Miranda Lambert, proud of her “normal size” has adopted the motto: “When in doubt, fry it or add cheese.” Reba McEntire says her weight fluctuates, which could be due to her fondness for Dr Pepper and peanut-butter cookies. And goddess Faith Hill just revealed on Twitter she loves barbecue chips with homemade ranch dressing. When asked what she does to stay healthy, her answer was a popular one, “Right now I’m eating Milk Duds because I missed dinner and didn’t want to be late for the chat :)” Well, if the Milk Dud Diet helps you land someone who looks like Tim McGraw, I’ll accept that challenge any day. between the resta∂rant and the barn). www.yo∂ngsdairy.com/ha∂nted TERROR MAZE: Oct. 5, 8 p.m. to midnight thro∂gh Oct. 6 at 6988 Springfield Jamestown Road, Springfield. $11.

D3 Music Dayton Music Fest to showcase local acts By Jacqui Boyle Staff Writer HOW TO GO What: Dayton Music Fest 2012 When: Today and Saturday Where: Eight venues in Dayton Tickets: $10 for weekend pass; $5 for entrance to one DMF venue More information: www.daytonmusicfest.com or www.facebook.com/ daytonmusicfest DAYTON — Dayton Music Fest 2012, the eighth annual local indie rock festival, will feature 34 acts performing in eight different venues today and Saturday. The event typically draws about 1,000 to 1,200 people over two days, according to Don Thrasher of Belmont, coorganizer of DMF since 2010. Expenses to organize the festival this year are less than $10,000, he said. Eighteen of the bands performing at this year’s event have never played at DMF before, said Kyle Melton of Dayton, co-organizer of the festival since 2010. “It’s an opportunity to really find out what Dayton’s indie rock scene is all about,” Melton said of DMF. “While there are countless shows throughout the year that people could attend, DMF is an extremely concentrated event that enables someone who is curious to sample a lot of different flavors. There are lots of bands that are making waves beyond Dayton that remain under the radar for most people here in town, and this is an excellent opportunity to check them out.” Local performances DMF will kick off at 5 p.m. today with a free, all-ages show at Omega Music. Bands slated to perform are Goodbye, The 1984 Draft, Shrug and Southeast Engine. A special opening night show will take place beginning at 9 p.m. Friday at Canal Street Tavern, with performances by Grenades!?, Roley Yuma, Vanity Theft and Astro Fang. The event will continue beginning at noon Saturday at the Midwest Outdoor Experience — a festival featuring outdoor activities, competitions, a craft beer garden, food, camping and more — at Eastwood MetroPark. Roley Yuma performs at Dayton Music Fest 2011. The band is slated to perform at 10 p.m. today at Canal Street Tavern as part of Dayton Music Fest 2012. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO BY DON THRASHER DMF is teaming up with Midwest Outdoor Experience for the first time this year, featuring performances by Starving in the Belly of the Whale, Duke of Owls, Tim Pritchard and the Boxcar Suite, and BJSR. Performances will continue, starting with a show at 5 p.m. Saturday at South Park Tavern. Later, performers will take the stage at The Trolley Stop, Tumbleweed Connection, Blind Bob’s, The Oregon Express and Canal Street Tavern on Saturday night. “This is essentially an indie rock festival, meaning we don’t have straight up metal bands or Nashville-style country singers,” Thrasher said. “That said, indie rock is such a broad term; it includes genres such as punk, garage rock, roots rock, acoustic-pop, electro-pop and folkrock, which are just some of the styles represented this year. This festival really does offer a nice look at the diversity and talent working in Dayton today.” Admission for DMF costs $10 for a weekend pass. Wristband passes are available in advance of the event for $10 at Omega Music, and at Midwest Outdoor Experience on Saturday. People also can buy a wristband at any of the participating venues during the event. This pass will give the holder access to all of the DMF shows both days. If people want to go to one venue during the festival to watch the scheduled bands at that location only, they can pay $5. David Obenour of Dayton, editor of Ghettoblaster Magazine, a locally based, music and cultural magazine, has attended DMF two times, and plans to go again this year to see local acts. “It’s cool in the sense that you always see a lot of local band names on posters, but you don’t know what they sound like,” he said. “It’s a good chance to immerse yourselves in a lot of these bands that you may not have heard before.” Spotlighting Dayton’s music scene Founded in 2005 by locals Dan Clayton, Andy Ingram and Shawn Johnson, DMF was created to showcase “the burgeoning music scene bustling in Dayton,” which often is overlooked by the national scene and those living in the region, according to event organizers. Today, DMF works to spotlight Dayton’s indie music scene, creating a portrait of where the local scene stands around 2012. The event also showcases performers originally from the local area who now reside elsewhere but still maintain ties to Dayton. “Dayton’s indie scene is somewhat unique in that there is a substantial musical legacy ... but we simply aren’t on most people’s radar these days as having any sort of music scene,” Melton said. “For the people that live and create here, and for all the touring bands that do come through, they know that simply isn’t the case. There is a lot of support amongst bands here in town, and stylistically there is tremendous diversity amongst the bands. Whatever your musical tastes, investigating the Dayton indie scene is definitely worth the time.” Thrasher, a contributing music writer for the Springfield News-Sun, agreed. “Dayton has always been a hotbed for creativity, from inventors and great thinkers, to painters, writers and actors,” he said. “This extends to local music as well. ... DMF is just another way to help shine a spotlight on the great overlooked talent working hard week after week for little reward.” D4 LOCAL. RELEVANT.

Tim Burton has taken the animated short that launched his career and expanded it into a vivid and moving essay on science and love. That was the kernel of the original 1984 “Frankenweenie,” back at the beginning of Burton’s career. Burton gives that genius concept full voice in a rich, delicately-textured, 3-D jewel in stopmotion animation style. Victor (voiced by Charlie Tahan) is a loner, a smart kid who spends hours in the attic, fiddling with science projects. He’s pretty much friendless, save for his beloved weenie dog, Sparky. Mom (Catherine O’Hara) indulges him, but Dad (Martin Short) wants the boy to get out, make some friends and take up FRANKENWEENIE Cast: Voices of Charlie Tahan, Martin Landau, Winona Ryder, Martin Short and Catherine O’Hara Directed by Tim Burton, Running time: 1:27 MPAA rating: PG for thematic elements, scary images and action a sport. Victor just wants to come up with a project for the school science fair. Dad suggests they “compromise,” so Victor finds himself at the plate, playing baseball. And when he hits a home run, Sparky chases the home-run ball into the street and is killed. Victor mourns in a morose, quiet way. Mom’s reassurance that no one you ever love dies, “they just move into a special place in your heart,” isn’t enough. It’s only when Victor sits through a lesson by his Eastern Bloc science teacher (Martin Landau) that he has his answer. Rzykruski has made a dead frog’s muscles twitch with electricity. Victor will dig up Sparky, patch and stitch him up, attach a positive and negative lead on his neck (bolts, of course) and thunder-storm jolt his beloved dog back to life. Burton ensures that there’s an animated warmth to the boy’s connection to this playful mutt, who is pretty much his old self once he’s revived — save for the odd body part that falls off. Burton’s ability to give heart to the weird, the unsympathetic and sometimes animated characters in his films has been the hallmark of his career. So, don’t be surprised if your eyes mist over for a silly dog of clay and the stick-boy who loves him. “Taken,” the enormously successful 2008 thriller in which a retired agent gets his kidnapped teenage daughter back, was an explosion of middle-age machismo. Seeing Liam Neeson dish out some skull-cracking payback to every young thug in Paris proved to be a rollicking good time. Now there’s “Taken 2,” in which Neeson returns as Bryan Mills, the ex-CIA operative living in Los Angeles where he hovers over his daughter, Kim (Maggie Grace), even though he no longer lives with her or her mother, Lenore (Famke Janssen). Before you can say “bad idea,” mother and daughter decide to surprise Bryan in Turkey just as he’s ready to wrap-up a three-day freelance security assignment. Little do they know Albanian crime boss Murad (Rade Serbedzija) is still ticked off that Bryan killed his son, who was one of Kim’s kidnappers. He unleashes a squad of tough guys to capture Bryan and his family. While “Taken” was predictable and hardly believable, it got by on a propulsive energy from director Pierre Morel and a sense of surprise. The sequel turns out to be a lethargic retread.

D5 Movies No mid-life crisis for 007 as Bond films turn 50 By Jill Lawless Associated Press LONDON — It was a meeting of the two most famous British people on the planet: Queen Elizabeth II turned to her tuxedo-wearing guest and said, “Good evening, Mr. Bond.” The pairing of these icons, the English monarch and the king of spies — in a film for the opening ceremony of the London Olympics — was a thrilling moment. It scarcely mattered that one of them was fictional. Agent 007 is real to millions of moviegoers, and once again they will flock to see Bond battle for queen and country when his 23rd official screen adventure, “Skyfall,” opens this fall. He’s come a long way in the 50 years since the release — on Oct. 5, 1962 — of a modestly budgeted spy movie called “Dr. No.” It introduced a dapper but deadly secret agent who wore Savile Row suits, drove an Aston Martin, liked his martinis shaken, not stirred, and announced himself as “Bond, James Bond.” What’s the secret of his survival? Familiarity, said Roger Moore, who played Bond in seven films, more than any other actor. “It’s sort of like a bedtime story: As long as you don’t go too far away from the original, the child is happy,” Moore said. “The audience gets what it’s expecting: beautiful girls, actions, gadgets — there’s a formula.” That fiendishly successful formula had modest beginnings. Two upstart producers, Canadian Harry Saltzman and American Albert “Cubby” Broccoli, ac- Sean Connery (left) plays British superspy James Bond in a scene from the 1963 film “From Russia With Love.” Connery, a relatively unknown Scottish actor and former bodybuilder, was cast in the hit movie as Agent 007. The film is included in the MGM and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment Blu-Ray “Bond 50” anniversary set. ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTO/UNITED ARTISTS AND DANJAQ, LLC quired the rights to a series of novels by Ian Fleming, a former World War II intelligence officer who created 007 as sort of a fantasy alter-ego. Saltzman and Broccoli had a budget of just $1 million, but through a blend of luck and design assembled an amazing team of on- and off-screen talent. Sean Connery, a relatively unknown Scottish actor and former bodybuilder, was cast as Bond against the wishes of studio United Artists, which wanted an established star such as Cary Grant for the role. “Everything or Nothing,” a new documentary about the Bond films, shows the final seal of approval came from Cubby Broccoli’s wife. “Is he sexy?” Broccoli asked her. Connery got the part. Behind the scenes were artists like John Barry, composer of Bond’s pulsequickening theme music; Maurice Binder, who created the famous gun-barrel title sequence; and designer Ken Adam, a Germanborn former RAF fighter pilot whose futuristic sets gave the films their look of modernist cool. In the documentary, which airs today on EPIX, Adam recalls feeling “crazy with courage” in those early days. Others remember the same devil- may-care atmosphere. “It was barnstorming days,” said David M. Kay, whose company provided aircraft for filming and stunts on the early Bond films, including the helicopter-volcano sequence in “You Only Live Twice.” “We didn’t have health and safety as we have now. Broccoli was an absolute cavalier and demanded things that were well-nigh impossible,” Kay recalled. It was also enormous fun, he said — “Men playing with boys’ toys.” That sense of playfulness spilled over to the screen. “Dr. No” arrived in movie theaters with perfect timing, as Britain swapped postwar austerity for growing prosperity. Bond’s world of cars, casinos and caviar was sexy, luxurious and colorful. Instead of a gray, shadowy figure, here was spy as glamorous jet-setter. The films turned Cold War anxiety into a thrill-ride from which the good guy always emerged triumphant. “There had been nothing like it before,” said Graham Rye, editor of 007 magazine, who remembers being blown away by the film as an 11-year-old. “A lot of British films at the time were austere, black-andwhite, kitchen-sink dra- mas. When ‘Dr. No’ exploded onto the screen, it had a pretty visceral effect on everybody.” From the start, success was enhanced by clever marketing. What began as Fleming’s way of demonstrating his character’s expensive tastes quickly became a commercial arrangement, now worth millions to the films’ producers. More than movies, these were experiences in which key elements were established, expected and anticipated. The locations that spanned the globe and headed into outer space; the gravity-defying stunt sequences; the rocket belts, car-submarines and other gadgets; the megalomaniacal villains and their sadistic henchmen — all quickly became part of the Bond brand. So did the theme songs, many of them performed by the biggest artists of the day, from Paul McCartney (“Live and Let Die”) to Madonna (“Die Another Day”). And, of course, there were the “Bond girls,” characters who are victims or villains but always fatefully — and often fatally — attracted to 007. Bond’s scantily clad female companions have long provided ammunition for critics, who accuse the films of sexism, though others argue that the films offer eyecandy for everyone: Ursula Andress in a bikini, but also Daniel Craig in his tight blue swim trunks. Agent 007 is in pretty good shape for 50. Will he last another half century? Rye, the magazine editor, thinks so. “Bond, like diamonds, is forever,” he said.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO By Melissa Dabe Contributing Writer New Carlisle celebrates its local flying tradition this weekend during the Heritage of Flight Festival and Parade. The festival kicks off at 4 p.m. today with a cruise-in, and Mike Lowrey, president of the festival committee, said there will be about 800 cars participating. “Friday night, if the weather is good, we’ll have the fourth largest cruise-in in Ohio,” said Lowrey. “And this year we’re having some craft vendors open up so there’s something for the ladies to do while the men are checking out the cars.” Saturday begins with entertainment at 10 a.m., and the Parade of Planes and Community Parade starts at 11 a.m. The parade’s grand marshal is George Dennewitz, 97, of Medway, who was a pilot with the Flying Angels, the original group of pilots from New Carlisle airport. Also in the parade will be the Shriners, Boy Scouts, the Tecumseh football team and 20 or more planes from the airport. “The planes are pulled down the street by antique John Deere tractors,” said Lowrey. “That is neat to see.” New this year is a parachute jump by Team Fastrax, a professional parachuting troupe. “It will be around 10:45, right before the community parade,” said Lowrey. “They will have six men jump with a giant American flag.” “There will also be food and craft vendors open following the parade, and the stores have sidewalk sales,” said Lowrey. “The food is great. Everyone comes to a festival for the food, and this won’t disappoint.” Lowrey says the hot-wing eating contest is popular. For a $5 entry fee, participants see how many wings they can eat in one minute. “By the end, they are covered in red sauce. It’s just dripping off of them!” said Lowrey. “Last year we had 40 people competing. The winners get cash prizes and trophies. It’s on Saturday at 6 p.m. First place wins $150 and a trophy, second gets $100 and a trophy and third wins a trophy.” Out of all the activities going on, Lowrey says it’s the small, hometown experience that makes the event special. “There is so much to do that is free or inexpensive. There is something for the whole family.” Contact this contributing writer at meldabe@sbcglobal.net.

By Melissa Dabe Contributing Writer You know it’s officially fall when Young’s Jersey Dairy hosts its annual Pumpkin Festival. This weekend marks the annual event’s 36th year. Many of us have grown up visiting Young’s, petting and feeding the goats, seeing the cows being milked and watching the dairy farm grow into a local destination for family fun. During the Pumpkin Festival, you can do all the things Young’s is now famous for, and more. Dan Young, owner of Young’s Jersey Dairy, says in addition to mini-golf, batting cages, ice cream and farm animals, the fall festival offers a corn maze for visitors to get lost and then found. It is, after all, a pumpkin festival, so what about the pumpkins? Young says that one of the most popular things to do during the festival is to take the horsedrawn wagon to the pumpkin patch to find that special pumpkin. “It’s a lot of fun to look around the field until you find just the right pumpkin,” said Young. “You get to enjoy a wagon ride and get a fresh pumpkin all at the same time.” You can also find a pumpkin already harvested next to the dairy store. “There are always several thousand small pumpkins that sell for $2.50 or less,” said Young. “The larger pumpkins are all individually marked with a price.” There’s also a pumpkin launcher, where you send a pumpkin flying to try to hit a target and explode your pumpkin in the process. And from noon to 6 p.m. on both days, youngsters can try their hands at pumpkin painting. The weekend also features a pumpkin carving contest for kids on Saturday and for adults on Sunday. There is a $7 entry fee, which includes your pumpkin that you take home with you after the contest. The first-place winner of each class wins $20, second place wins $10 and third place wins $5. We mustn’t forget the homemade treats, including caramel apples, pumpkin donut holes and samples of Young’s own cheese. “It’s fall fun for the whole family. “This event is our most popular event of the year,” said Young.

Thank you for the smiles and the tears. My dilemma: I received yet another invitation to someone’s home for a “product party.” In the past year, I have been considered a prospective buyer of cookware, candles, makeup, toys and vitamins. While I have at times used all these products, the invitations to sales parties that come from friends and sometimes friends of friends, irritate me. When I phone to decline, the hostess invariably says, “Oh, you don’t have to buy anything.” Of course that’s not exactly entirely true because it’s a sales party, and “guests” are pressured in various ways to buy the product. People often buy things they don’t need or want because they fear they’d be disloyal to the hostess if they didn’t. When I was growing up, my father said, “You don’t invite friends to your house to sell them things.” Maybe Dad was on to something. Abby, how should unwanted invitations be handled? — Irked in Indiana Dear Irked: Continue to decline the invitations. Tell the hostess you have “a conflict” and cannot change your plans. (You don’t have to give any details.) P.S. To ease your conscience, your “conflict” can be your plan to watch your favorite “I Love Lucy” rerun on TV. Dear Abby: I’m wondering what I should do when my biological father dies. He and my mother divorced before I was born. I’ve had little contact with him, but my older sister and brother lived with him growing up and are close to him. My mother died 20 years ago, and afterward I tried to get to know him, but he didn’t want to know me. He never paid child support. Both he and my mother remarried. I was fortunate to have a loving stepfather, and I was very close to him until his death. When the time comes, I am considering not going to my birth father’s funeral. I have not told my sister how I feel because she thinks he is the greatest. I think he is a dirt ball. What do you advise, under these circumstances? — Confused in Sioux City Dear Confused: Funerals are for the living. Go to his funeral and give your siblings the emotional support they will need. I understand why you feel the way you do, but in this situation, it would be an act of kindness to keep your true feelings to yourself. Dear Abby: Several years ago, when I read one of your letters about pennies from heaven, I laughed about it to myself. My sister-in-law had died a few months earlier and I said, “OK, Sharyn, if you’re there, send me a penny from heaven.” Abby, the next day when I arrived at work, there on my keyboard was a perfectly placed penny. And for weeks afterward I kept inding more pennies. Finally I had to say, “OK, Sharyn, I get it.” And the pennies stopped. — A Believer Now in Somers, Conn. Dear Believer Now: I’m glad your faith is restored. If you saved them, have them made into charms for a bracelet. Every time you wear it you’ll feel close to the sister-in-law who’s smiling down on you. DOONESBURY Grimm: Angelina comes to town with bad news.

You feel that unless you can wow people, it’s not worth your time to show up. So you’ll overdeliver on what you never promised you’d do in the first place. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Mercury encourages you to take up space and command attention with your communication style. You’ll gain the support of authority figures and the approval of those who see you as an authority. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You may feel inclined to reach out and quite literally touch people. Handshakes and hugs are healing, especially since you’ve spent so much energy communicating virtually. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Do not underestimate the power of your friendships. As your sign mate President Woodrow Wilson said, “Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If love is a game, this feels like the prize-winning round. Hand on the buzzer, you hope to come up with the right answer. Of course, it’s best not to make your move until you’re really sure. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your inner circle will like hearing what you think, but beyond that, there is little to gain and much to lose from discussing personal views with business associates or the general public. IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: A new attitude takes hold in you this year. Your joy will be reflected in an activity in which you love to immerse yourself. You could rescue an animal or be someone’s hero in November. Finances improve in 2013 simply because you create a budget and stick to it. An adventure (and a possible relocation) launches in May. Your lucky numbers are 20, 37, 16, 5 and 43. BY JAN ELIOT Yesterday, the sun, Mercury and Saturn were in Libra. Today, the cosmic dynamic changes, first with Mercury and then with Saturn slipping into Scorpio. Saturn’s transit is the more dramatic of the two, having generational implications. The planet of responsibility and limits will move slowly through Scorpio’s transformation spell until Dec. 23, 2014. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Instead of seeing the huge task before you as an overwhelming job, see it as a series of little jobs, all of which happen to be quite doable with your current resources. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There will be some drama. It will take but three days for the nonsense going on now to get old. Knowing that you’ll look back on it and think it’s just ridiculous, you may want to limit your current investment. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). With the moon rooting you on, there’s a bubbly quality to your conversation. Be careful: Effervescence is contagious. Tonight features a social and culinary destination. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be attuned to the story behind things. When the story isn’t being told, you’ll either speculate as to what it might be, or you’ll ask gentle questions to try to nudge out the truth. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may get the feeling that a boss, client or friend is sharing incorrect or irrelevant information. Though the “customer” is not always right, it’s sometimes necessary to treat them as if they are. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Jokes and stories are best shared face to face. Resist the urge to forward them in email form because it robs you of the opportunity to work on the social skills that really matter today: how you present yourself in person.

Not only did that mark the biggest September opening ever — not adjusting for inflation — but “Transylvania” also had the strongest debut of any of Sony’s animated titles. It was a strong weekend at the multiplex for the studio, as the sci-fi thriller “Looper” from Sony’s TriStar label claimed the runner-up position with a solid $21.2 million in ticket sales. The only new wide release to be greeted with poor response this weekend was “Won’t Back Down,” the education drama starring Viola Davis and Maggie Gyllenhaal that tanked with $2.7 million. Sony Pictures Animation’s biggest hit to date has been “The Smurfs,” which opened with $35.6 million last year and ultimately raked in $142.6 million domestically and $421.1 million more abroad. Although the movie performed well enough to warrant a sequel — “The Smurfs 2” is set to hit theaters next year — it didn’t do nearly as well as some of the biggest hits from DreamWorks Animation or Pixar Animation, such as the “Kung Fu Panda” or “Toy Story” franchises. Sony also has struggled to attract domestic audiences to its titles produced by Britain’s Aardman Animations, including last year’s “The Pirates! Band of Misfits” and “Arthur Christmas” — so “Transylvania” is a welcome winner for them. “Those movies worked out much better in Eu- rope than they did in the States, and ‘Hotel Transylvania’ had more of an American sensibility,” said Rory Bruer, Sony’s distribution president. “Hotel Transylvania,” which features celebrity voices such as Kevin James and Selena Gomez in addition to Sandler, was not greeted with especially warm reviews but was beloved by audiences this weekend. Those who saw the film — a 76 percent family audience — assigned it an average grade of A-minus, said market research firm CinemaScore. Meanwhile, the critical darling “Looper” appealed strongly to older males this weekend, as 49 percent of the audience were men and 70 percent were older than 25. That crowd gave the movie an average grade of B. “Looper,” a time-travel film written and directed by Rian Johnson, stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a younger version of an assassin played by Bruce Willis.
