LIMA — Patrick Coller, 43, waived his right
to a preliminary hearing Wednesday in Lima
Municipal Court before Magistrate Richard
Warren.
Coller faces a murder charge with a weapons
specification in the death of 42-year-old Gerri
Coller.
Coller appeared with his court-appointed attor-
ney, Jerry Pitts.
His case will be transferred to Allen County
Common Pleas Court and his bond was contin-
ued at $1 million. The Grand Jury will meet to
consider indicting Coller.
Allen County Assistant Prosecutor Jana
Emerick appeared opposite Pitts.
The Delphos man is accused of fatally shoot-
ing his estranged wife in a cornfield off Jones
Road, east of Delphos.
According to Delphos Police reports, Patrick
Coller went to the Delphos Police Department
last Thursday evening and allegedly confessed to
killing his wife in the cornfield earlier in the day.
Officers took him into custody and then he went
with officers to locate her body. He was reported-
ly very calm throughout his contact with officers.
Allen County Sheriff’s Detectives are handling
the investigation. Sheriff’s deputies recovered the
weapon believed to have been used by Coller to
kill his wife Friday. According to a press release,
the barrel of the gun was sawed off and an attempt
had been made to remove the serial number. The
release went on to say that although no report had
been filed, it is believed the shotgun was stolen
earlier by Coller.
Sheriff detectives are continuing the investiga-
tion.
Patrick Coller, 43, of Delphos awaits the arrival of his court-appointed attorney Wednesday
morning in Lima Municipal Court. (DHI Media/Nancy Spencer)

Longtime ‘SNL’
announcer
Don Pardo dies at 96
BY FRAZIER MOORE
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Few would
recognize his face, but most
knew his voice: the booming
baritone that for nearly four
decades heralded “Saturday
Night Live.”
Don Pardo, the eras-span-
ning radio and TV announcer
whose resonant voice-over
style was celebrated for its maj-
esty and power, died Monday
in Arizona at the age of 96.
“He became our link to the
beginnings of television on
NBC — and radio,” said Lorne
Michaels, who, as creator of
“SNL” (and who remains its
executive producer) hired
Pardo.
Pardo’s strong jaw and
leading-man smile were sel-
dom on display, but for more
than 60 years his elegant pipes
graced newscasts, game shows
(during the original run of
“Jeopardy!,” its emcee ritually
called on him to “Tell ‘em what
they’ve won, Don Pardo”) and
especially “SNL,” where he
played an integral role through
last season, heralding the line-
up, like always, as recently as
the May finale.
“There was no greater thrill
than hearing Don Pardo bel-
low your name for the first
time in the opening credits
of ‘Saturday Night Live,’” said
long-time cast member Tina
Fey. “It meant you were offi-
cially ‘on television.’”
Fey described Pardo as “a
sweet, sweet man,” adding,
“Late night will never sound as
cool again.”
“My whole life changed
once Don Pardo said my
name,” echoed Amy Poehler,
a fellow “SNL” alum. “I will
really miss that kind and tal-
ented man.”
His was no ordinary voice
and he guarded it closely, with
cough drops always at the
ready.
“My voice is my Achilles’
heel,” Pardo said in a 1985
interview with The Associated
Press. “When I get sick, it’s
always my voice.” But it
served him well from a tender
age.
Dominick George Pardo
was born in Westfield,
Massachusetts, on Feb. 22,
1918, and grew up in Norwich,
Connecticut.
One of his first jobs was
that of ticket-taker at a local
movie theater; even then, his
voice was commanding.
“I’d go out there with a cape
and say: ‘Standing room only
in the mezzanine. Immediate
seating in the balcony.’”
His father, Dominick,
owned a small bakery and
had wanted his son to join
the business. But young Pardo
followed his own dream. After
graduating from Boston’s
Emerson College in 1942, he
began his vocal career at radio
station WJAR in Providence,
Rhode Island.
Two years later, he was
hired by a supervisor at NBC
immediately upon hearing his
voice. He moved to NBC’s
New York affiliate, and never
left the network.
Pardo made his mark quick-
ly, reading news dispatches
on the radio filed from the
front lines during World War
II. After the war, he was the
announcer for such shows as
the “Arthur Murray Party,”
‘’Colgate Comedy Hour” and
“Your Show of Shows.”
In 1954, he was brought
in to announce “Winner Takes
All,” beginning a long run in
game shows. He was heard
forcefully on the original “The
Price is Right” (1956-63) and
the original “Jeopardy!” (1964-
75), hosted by Art Fleming.
When NBC launched the
radical, cutting-edge “Saturday
Night Live” in 1975 with
Pardo as its charmingly old-
school patriarch, he was dis-
covered by a new generation
— although, on opening night,
he made a rare stumble, botch-
ing one of the credits. Instead
of saying “The Not Ready for
Prime Time Players,” Pardo
introduced the show’s new
comedy troupe as “The Not for
Ready Prime Time Players.”
Aside from Season 7, when
he was rudely displaced, Pardo
remained an “SNL” mainstay.
Between working on shows,
Pardo often spent several hours
a day in an NBC sound stu-
dio as one of the last network
“booth announcers” working a
regular daily shift.
And every weekday after-
noon for several years in the
1980s, Pardo would quickly
clad himself in a tie and blazer
to step on camera long enough
to announce the local New
York station’s “Live at Five”
newscast — although Pardo’s
vocal alchemy rendered it as
“Liiiiiiive at Fiiiiiive!”
Pardo retired from NBC in
2004.
“But Lorne Michaels called
me soon after and asked if I
would continue for three more
weeks, so I did,” Pardo told the
AP in 2010. “Then he called
and asked if I would do five
more, and so on. I never really
left.”
For several years, Pardo
commuted from Tucson each
week the show aired. He
arrived to open the show in
Rockefeller Center’s fabled
Studio 8H and then caught a
returning flight. At the end of
the show on Feb. 23, 2008,
he was brought on camera to
blow out the candles of a birth-
day cake in honor of his 90th
birthday.
In later years, he more often
recorded his introductions
from home, where he died
peacefully Monday afternoon,
said his daughter Dona Pardo.
Pardo appeared in several
movies, mostly as himself or an
announcer like himself, includ-
ing Woody Allen’s “Radio
Days,” an homage to the
Golden Age of broadcasting.
He also made a guest appear-
ance on Frank Zappa’s 1978
album, “Zappa in New York,”
and “Weird Al” Yankovic’s
1984 album, “In 3-D.”
In 2010, he was inducted
into the Academy of Television
Arts and Sciences’ Hall of
Fame.
Pardo is survived by five
children.

WASHINGTON — An experimental drug
saved monkeys from a virus closely related
to Ebola even after symptoms began, Texas
researchers reported Wednesday. A drug that
targets Ebola in the same way is under devel-
opment, and the study raises questions about
how late after infection treatments might
work.
The unprecedented Ebola outbreak in
West Africa has interest surging in the cre-
ation of the first drugs and vaccines for
the hemorrhagic fever — but a separate
report Wednesday highlights the inadequacy
of counting on experimental products in the
pipeline.
In the nearly nine months since the out-
break began, up to 30,000 people could have
qualified for some sort of infection-blocking
drug or vaccine, Oxford University epidemi-
ologist Oliver Brady calculated in the journal
Nature. There have been more than 2,000
cases of Ebola, but the higher total reflects
people at varying risk of infection — patients’
relatives, health workers, funeral directors
and non-medical essential workers in out-
break zones — and comes from a statistical
model that Brady created for manufacturers to
use as they plan how to increase production of
experimental products.
“The demand is likely to be higher than
many people realize,” Brady said.
Wednesday’s monkey study involves a
strain of Marburg virus that is an even more
lethal cousin of Ebola. Although scientists
caution that the study is too small to draw
firm conclusions, it is one of the few attempts
to explore how long after infection a treat-
ment might work for either virus.
Both Marburg and Ebola take time to
multiply in the body and most people don’t
realize they’re ill and seek treatment until
symptoms appear.
Thomas Geisbert of the University of
Texas Medical Branch at Galveston infected
21 rhesus monkeys with Marburg virus.
Then his team administered the drug to
16 of them at different time points. All of
the treated monkeys lived — even the four
who weren’t treated until three days later,
when their blood showed plenty of virus and
symptoms had begun, Geisbert reported in
the journal Science Translational Medicine.
All of the untreated monkeys died in about
a week.
The drug uses bits of genetic material
called small interfering RNA to block the
virus’ ability to reproduce. Geisbert’s team
had published evidence back in 2010 that this
same technology engineered to target Ebola
protected monkeys up to 48 hours after infec-
tion, before symptoms began. Based on that
data, Canada-based Tekmira Pharmaceutical
Corp. is developing an anti-Ebola drug.
Other experimental approaches have got-
ten more public attention as the World Health
Organization said it was ethical to try unap-
proved drugs and vaccines during the current
Ebola outbreak.
A U.S. government-developed Ebola vac-
cine to prevent infection is set to start the first
human safety studies in a few weeks, said Dr.
Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of
Health. If it proves safe, the goal would be
to give it to health workers heading into the
outbreak zones. The Canadian government
has developed a different vaccine candidate,
and plans to donate 800 to 1,000 doses to the
World Health Organization even as a human
safety study is being planned.
As for treatments, one experimental drug
— an antibody cocktail named ZMapp —
made headlines as doctors tried it in six Ebola
patients before the supply ran out.
In a separate small study last year,
Canadian researchers showed that the anti-
body approach also could provide some
protection for Ebola-infected monkeys after
symptoms began.
Next, Geisbert’s team wants to push the
timing even further: “We will look to see how
much further out we can delay treatment” for
both Ebola and Marburg viruses, he said.

UPS says 51 retail stores
breached by malware
BY DAVID KOENIG
Associated Press
Some customers of The
UPS Store may have had their
credit and debit card informa-
tion exposed by a computer
virus found on systems at 51
stores in 24 states.
A spokeswoman for UPS
says the information includes
names, card numbers and
postal and email addresses
from about 100,000 transac-
tions between Jan. 20 and
Aug. 11.
United Parcel Service Inc.
said Wednesday that it was
among U.S. retailers who got
a Department of Homeland
Security bulletin about the
malware on July 31. The mal-
ware is not identified by cur-
rent anti-virus software.
The company is not aware
of any fraud related to the
attack, spokeswoman Chelsea
Lee said.
Atlanta-based UPS said it
hired a security firm that found
the virus in systems at about
1 percent of the company’s
4,470 franchised locations. At
many stores, the intrusion did
not begin until March or April.
Lee said that the problem
was fixed by Aug. 11 and the
company took additional steps
to protect systems at other
stores. She said the affected
stores were not linked elec-
tronically, and UPS is still
investigating how they were
compromised.
UPS said it is providing
identity protection and credit
monitoring help to affected
customers.
The affected stores were in
Arizona, California, Colorado,
Connecticut, Florida, Georgia,
Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana,
Maryland, Nebraska,
Nevada, New Jersey, New
York, North Carolina, North
Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma,
Pennsylvania, South Dakota,
Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and
Washington.
From the company’s
description, the breach
appeared far smaller than one
that hit Target Corp. during
the holiday-shopping season,
when hackers stole credit and
debit card information involv-
ing millions of customers.
Fallout from the incident is
still hurting profits. Target,
which said Wednesday that
second-quarter profit fell 62
percent, has spent $235 mil-
lion related to the breach,
partly offset by $90 million in
insurance payments.
The UPS breach won’t have
a material financial impact on
the company, Lee said.
Last week, Supervalu said
that hackers might have sto-
len names, account numbers,
expiration dates and other
information from card hold-
ers who shopped at up to
200 of its grocery and liquor
stores. Restaurant operator
P.F. Chang’s, Goodwill thrift
stores and other retailers have
been hit by data breaches.
2014 campaign chair Scott Mull of Central Insurance has set an aggressive campaign goal for the United

Mull sets goal for United Way Campaign
INFORMATION SUBMITTED
VAN WERT — 2014 campaign
chair Scott Mull of Central Insurance
has set an aggressive campaign goal for
the United Way of Van Wert County —
$600,000.
“We first started discussing what
the amount our campaign goal should
be during the allocation process. This
year’s goal is the amount our local
member agencies told us they needed
to operate and provide their needed
programs for the community. There
were also a few new program requests,
programs that would really benefit the
community, but we just didn’t have
enough funding to take them on at this
time,” Mull said. “The campaign theme
this year is Open Your Eyes. It really
has two meanings, the first encourag-
ing citizens to open their eyes to the
needs of our community and second
to open your eyes to our 24 incredible
member agencies that work tirelessly
each and every day to meet those needs
in Van Wert County. I hope this year’s
theme inspires people to take a look
around Van Wert, see what needs there
are and what we can do about those
needs. Sometimes it is not just about
funding, it’s about volunteering and
making a difference in someone’s life.”
This year setting the pace for the
United Way campaign is Central
Insurance. Central has been a supporter
of the United Way from the very begin-
ning in 1922.
This year, Carly Fortman and Travis
Owens are chairing the internal cam-
paign at Central. All employees will
attend a campaign meeting where they
will view the campaign video, hear an
agency speaker, and learn more about
United Way and the services provided
by the 24 local agencies.
“We are excited to have Central
leading the way for the United Way this
year,” Central Executive Director Deb
Russell said. “Central employees have
always been generous in their support
of the United Way and Central matches
their employee pledges. This makes a
huge difference to our campaign. And
they don’t stop with just the fundrais-
ing aspect of our campaign. Every
year they have done an agency project
for Day of Caring, and they hold a
company-wide competition for the Day
of Caring food drive. Central is very
supportive of the Van Wert community,
which we appreciate, and do not take
for granted.”
The company and employee totals
will be announced by a Central repre-
sentative at the United Way Campaign
Kickoff on September 24 in the First
Federal Lecture Hall of the Niswonger
Performing Arts Center. We look for-
ward to their announcement and to our
upcoming campaign. Live United!
Man gets life for killing grandfather
CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio
(AP) — A 30-year-old Ohio
man convicted of fatally
shooting his grandfather in
the face has been sentenced
to life in prison without
parole.
Shaun Lawson was
sentenced Wednesday in
Pickaway County court.
Prosecutors say Lawson
went to his grandfather’s
rural home March 29 to steal
guns and admitted he would
have killed his own father,
too, if he’d been there.
The Columbus Dispatch
reports the judge told
Lawson that his well-loved
grandfather didn’t deserve
such a grandson.
Lawson said he’d take
back his actions if he could
and asked to be hospitalized
to get help. His attorney told
the court Lawson has had
bipolar disorder, depression
and anti-social personality
disorder.
Three others face trial
in the case. A fifth defen-
dant pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to seven years in
prison.
Abortion clinic ends
fight over closure order
BY AMANDA LEE MYERS
Associated Press
CINCINNATI — A Cincinnati-area abortion clinic has ended
its fight with the state over a license revocation and will stop
performing surgical abortions this week, clinic officials said
Wednesday, blaming Gov. John Kasich and accusing him of try-
ing to end all abortions in Ohio.
The development will leave just one clinic in the Cincinnati
area offering surgical abortions and none with late-term abor-
tions, said attorney Dorothea Langsam, who represents the
Lebanon Road Surgery Center of Sharonville.
“This is a difficult day for those of us who care about a
woman’s right to make decisions about her own body,” Langsam
said.
She said the clinic, which opened 35 years ago, provided
about 2,000 abortions a year.
Its closure will mean hundreds of additional women going
to Cincinnati’s only other clinic, which will increase wait times,
push women farther into pregnancy and increase the risk of
complications, Langsam said.
Women seeking abortions between 18 and 22 weeks into
their pregnancies will have to go to the Dayton clinic, which
Langsam said will disproportionately affect low-income women
who will have more difficulty finding transportation for the
roughly two-hour drive.
“Abortion access is now severely endangered for Cincinnati
area women with only one provider remaining,” Valerie Haskell,
co-owner of the clinic and another Dayton clinic, said in a state-
ment.
She blamed the Republican governor and politics for the clin-
ic’s difficulties, saying Kasich’s “agenda is to methodically close
each abortion provider one by one (hoping no one will notice)
until it is impossible to get an abortion anywhere in Ohio.”
“This is what happens when a politician becomes blinded by
his personal beliefs,” Haskell said. “He governs for the minority
and disregards the majority.”
Kasich’s spokesman, Rob Nichols, declined repeated requests
for comment and questioned why the clinic would sue the state
Department of Health if its owners believed Kasich was ulti-
mately responsible.
Haskell referred to new state rules, approved by Kasich last
year, prohibiting publicly funded hospitals from having patient
transfer agreements with facilities that provide abortions.
Ohio law simultaneously requires such transfer agreements
to be in place, in what abortion rights groups have dubbed a de
facto restriction on abortion.

Ohio man charged with illegal gambling
CLEVELAND (AP) — A grand jury has charged an
Ohio man with more than 100 counts of illegal gambling at
Cleveland’s Horseshoe Casino.
The Ohio Casino Control Commission pursued the
charges filed Tuesday against 40-year-old Vaughn Perry.
The Cleveland man faces 138 illegal gambling charges
and one grand theft charge, which says Perry deprived the
casino of $8,240. Court records say the offense occurred at
the casino in May.
The casino commission says Perry cheated multiple
times at blackjack, which agents confirmed with video
footage.
Court records show Perry has faced previous charges
and has been convicted previously for felonious assault.
No attorney is listed for Perry. He is scheduled to be
arraigned Sept. 3.
Gun rights group fights suit dismissal
COLUMBUS (AP) — A judge is giving a gun rights
group more time to argue why its lawsuit challenging
Ohio State University over its weapons ban shouldn’t be
dismissed.
The Students for Concealed Carry Foundation says the
ban restricts constitutionally protected rights, including
the right to self-defense by Ohio State students living in
university housing.
The lawsuit in Franklin County court says the ban
restricts the rights of both lawful gun owners who want
to carry weapons openly and holders of concealed-carry
permits.
Earlier this month, Ohio State asked Judge Daniel
Hogan to throw out the lawsuit, arguing the group hasn’t
shown how its individual members are harmed by the ban.
Hogan on Monday agreed to give the group more time
to respond to Ohio State’s request.

Celebrating the Farm Bureau at the 66th annual meeting
LOGAN (AP) — Many believe
growing food is a pursuit of happi-
ness, which was celebrated by the
Hocking County Farm Bureau as
it hosted its 66th annual meeting
Monday.
Two high school students were
each presented $1,000 scholarship
and members voted on policies dur-
ing the meeting.
Neil Shaw serves as president of
the Hocking County Farm Bureau
for this year and will continue as
such for next year. The meeting was
held at Lee’s Banquet Haus Monday
evening with local members pres-
ent along with various State Farm
Bureau members in attendance.
Sandy Kuhn is the director of
education and industry outreach at
the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation
and proudly presented a scholar-
ship on behalf of her parents John
Ed and Donna Kuhn, both longtime
residents of Hocking County.
Caleb Mathias was selected for
the memorial scholarship. He is the
son of Randy and Janet Mathias and
a 2014 Logan High School gradu-
ate. Mathias plans to attend The
Ohio State University and major
in Plant Pathology. His
most cherished accom-
plishment was being a
delegate to the World
Food Prize in Des
Moines, Iowa.
Kuhn said Mathias
has been involved in
FFA, 4-H, community
services such as fair pen
set-up, Summer in the
Park, Relay for Life and cemetery
clean-up. She wished him luck on
continuing his education.
Vice president of the HCFB,
Larry Kienzle presented the second
scholarship of the evening to Trevor
Swackhamer. He is the son of Brent
and Stephanie Swackhamer and is a
recent graduate of Logan Elm High
School.
Swackhamer will be attending
Ohio University in Lancaster, and
plans to major in computer sci-
ence and business administration.
He feels accomplished by plant-
ing, raising and
selling pumpkins
at the Circleville
Pumpkin Show.
Swackhamer has
been involved in
4-H, marching,
concert and pep
band, junior fair-
board, drama club
and prom com-
mittee, according to Kienzle.
Kienzle congratulated
Swackhamer and presented him
with a $1,000 scholarship.
Steve Hirsch, State President for
the OFBF, was guest speaker for
the evening. He holds the highest
elected office in the state’s largest
and most inclusive farm organiza-
tion. He commended the HCFB for
its contributions in helping connect
farmers with the consuming public.
Hirsch spoke to those in atten-
dance regarding water quality and
quantity. In July the OFBF launched
Healthy Water Ohio, which involves
dozens of groups ranging from con-
servation to businesses and even
including water suppliers.
“We continue to support
research. We are working this year
to understand what we need and
how to get there,” said Hirsch in
regards to water.
“It really charges you up to see
the excitement and energy these
kids have,” he added.
As he congratulated both schol-
arship recipients and wished them
continued success in the agricul-
ture industry, he also complimented
members of the HCFB and Shaw’s
leadership as president.
Changes could be on the horizon
for the organization in regards to
membership. Currently there are two
classes of membership, active and
associate. Changes could reveal four
classes of membership that would
include active, merging agriculture,
community and Ohio member.
Members in attendance voted to
support all policies. County policies
included, support the government
in creating a favorable environment
to assist small businesses. To sup-
port county programs that promotes
family values that will keep chil-
dren out of juvenile court.
To support a water supply sys-
tem that would meet standards of
lower property insurance rates. In
support of a great effort to collect
the delinquent property tax accounts
and to continue to support and urge
for high-speed Internet in Hocking
County. Other policies were passed
on the state and national level as
well.
The evening concluded with a
fun activity and door prizes being
awarded.
U.S. offers $2M in grants
to stem growth of algae
Associated Press
Farmers in 20 Ohio coun-
ties of the Lake Erie water-
shed will be able to walk into
a county federal conserva-
tion agency office today and
apply for grants paying $57
per acre to plant winter crops
to keep fertilizer from wash-
ing into the rivers, federal
lawmakers said on Tuesday.
U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown
(D., Ohio) and U.S. Rep.
Marcy Kaptur (D., Toledo)
announced the $2 million
emergency fund while stand-
ing next to the Maumee River
at the National Museum
of the Great Lakes in East
Toledo.
They said the money will
make a dent in the flow of
fertilizer and manure that
is feeding the late-summer
algae blooms that threaten
Toledo’s water supply.
It was an algae bloom that
shut down Toledo’s water
supply for about 500,000
people Aug. 2 when city
chemists at the Collins Park
Treatment Plant detected
unsafe levels of a danger-
ous toxin, microcystin. The
toxin can cause breathing
problems, skin reactions, and
liver damage.
Both Mr. Brown and Miss
Kaptur stressed that the $2
million grant is just a portion
of what they think needs to be
accomplished to end the dan-
gerous flow of phosphorous
into Lake Erie.
Miss Kaptur suggested
a Lake Erie watershed ver-
sion of the Tennessee Valley
Authority. She said there are
14,820 farms in the water-
shed, each averaging 250
acres.
“It’s the largest watershed
in the Great Lakes and we’ve
got to get this right,” Miss
Kaptur said.
The $2 million will be
spread over some 30,000
acres in 20 counties, Mr.
Brown said. Mr. Brown and
Miss Kaptur are trying to
pass a related $20 million
conservation program for
Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana.
Senator Brown said he helped
to establish a program in the
2014 Farm Bill to provide
up to $1.2 billion for farmers
to implement conservation
measures, including those
that could reduce runoff into
Lake Erie.
“They’re not all going to
participate, but they need to,”
Miss Kaptur said. “The farm-
ers are going to be paid to
plant cover crops like clo-
vers, alfalfa, rye, wild radish,
wheat, oats, other crops, to
hold back nutrients so they
don’t leach out.”
Mr. Brown said that,
“Algae blooms will be back
and it’s up to us to deal with
this in an ongoing way.
“We must do more to
stop runoff before it starts,”
Mr. Brown said. “You can’t
expect the city of Toledo to
do it alone in terms of mil-
lions and millions and mil-
lions of dollars for water
treatment.” He attributed the
growing algae problem to cli-
mate change, with more tor-
rential downpours that wash
more fertilizer off fields and
manure out of livestock pens.
Terry Cosby, state con-
servationist for the Natural
Resources Conservation
Service, said his agency has
offices in every county and
started making the applica-
tion forms available to farm-
ers on Tuesday.
He said if all the money
is used, it should stop at least
half of the phosphorous run-
off that otherwise would have
occurred from those farms.
Distributed evenly, the grant
would cover about 1,700
acres per county.
“We’ve been visiting
farms. We talk to a lot of
farmers. The message from
the farmers is ‘we want to do
the right thing,” Mr. Cosby
said. “Hopefully, we will
have enough [farmers] sign
up to use all those dollars.”
He said growing win-
ter crops makes the ground
absorb fertilizer and manure
better than when they are
spread on hard ground.
Oregon farmer Bill Myers
said he believes farmers will
take advantage of the offer,
especially those knowledge-
able about cover crops.
“This isn’t just farming’s
problem. No farmer goes out
there knowingly trying to
harm the environment. It’s
where we get our paycheck,”
he said. “Everyone benefits
when we can keep the run-off
on the farm field.”
The grant would pay some
or all of the cost of seeding a
cover crop, said Mr. Myers,
whose family farms 2,000
acres and who is president
of the Lucas County Farm
Bureau, “It’s designed to grab
the nutrients that weren’t
used. The biggest challenge
for this is going to be the
equipment that it’s going to
take to get it applied in a
timely manner.”
Annie’s Project starts Sept. 22
BY JAMES J. HOORMAN
Assistant Professor
OSU Extension
Putnam County
The Putnam County OSU Extension office
will be offering a new program to agricultural
farm women called Annie’s Project starting
Sept. 22nd through Oct. 27. Annie’s Project
“provides women with tools to improve
their risk and farm management skills in the
complex and dynamic world of agriculture.”
Annie’s Project mission “is to empower farm
women to be better business partners through
networks and by managing and organizing
critical information.”
What will you gain? Annie’s Project par-
ticipants say they find answers, strength, and
friendship and the program also helps women
grow in confidence, business skills, and com-
munity prestige. “Annie’s Project” provides
education and a support network to enhance
business skills of women involved in all
aspects of agriculture. Through the program,
you gain insight on a) your personality and
temperament and how it affects communica-
tion, b) the importance of organizational skills
and goal setting, and c) how to find resources
and work with professionals to meet your
goals.
The original “Annie” was a women who
grew up in a small farming community with
a goal of being a successful farm wife. Annie
spent her life learning how to be a successful
business partner on her family farm, work-
ing with her husband. Annie’s Project was
designed by her daughter to provide agricul-
tural business, risk management, marketing,
and agricultural information to assist women
in the agricultural industry. Over 5,000 women
in the USA have been trained with this pro-
gram since the year 2000.
Classes start Sept. 22 and educational pro-
grams go from 6-9 p.m. on Monday evenings.
A light meal will be served starting at 5:30
p.m. The classes will be held at the Putnam
County Extension office, 1206 East Second
Street, Ottawa, Ohio (By the Fairgrounds).

What have women said about this pro-
gram? “I changed my mind about how to
approach communication with my in-laws
as business partners.” “I have gained tools to
improve management of our farm and insight
on how to communicate the resources to other
members of the farm.” “I appreciate getting to
meet others with a shared interest.” “I encour-
age any women to attend one of these great
programs!”
Dr. Beth Schecklehoff, Henry County
OSUE , has organized this series of meetings
and she will be assisted by Jim Hoorman,
Putnam County OSUE. Interested women can
call the Putnam County Extension office (419-
523-6294) for more information or contact
Beth at 419-592-0806 or scheckelhoff.11@
osu.edu.
The cost for this program has been set
statewide at $95 per person; however, due to
local donations from agricultural businesses,
the cost should be reduced to $20-30. Call
for details and registration is limited to 24
women to allow adequate class discussion and
networking and individual help.
Wind Turbine Syndrome? Courts aren’t buying it
Associated Press
To wind farm opponents,
wind turbine syndrome is a mani-
fold malady triggered by acoustic
pulses and other unfortunate side
effects of large wind turbines. To
wind farm developers, syndrome
claims can mean stomach-churn-
ing marches into courtrooms and
municipal hearings, where legal
teams defend projects against
allegations they’re responsible
for everything from headaches
and sleeplessness to vertigo,
blurred vision, and forgetfulness.
In these legal fights, the wind
energy developers are winning.
To the judges presiding over the
cases, evidence that wind turbine
syndrome exists has seemed as
wispy as the cirrus clouds that
can herald a stiffening breeze.
The Energy and Policy
Institute, a clean energy advo-
cacy group, reviewed rulings
from 49 lawsuits and similar
complaints filed in five Western
countries. In a report published
last week, the group says it could
find just one case of a court sid-
ing with neighbors who claimed
wind turbines had made them ill.
That one ruling out of 49 is being
appealed in Massachusetts.
“These claims about wind
turbines causing health impacts
are not being upheld, which
means there isn’t sufficient evi-
dence to prove that wind tur-
bines cause any problems with
human health,” said Gabe Elsner,
the nonprofit’s executive direc-
tor. “That’s a big deal, because
claims about that are used across
the globe by anti-wind advocates
to try to slow the development of
wind farms.”
The 49 legal rulings identi-
fied by the institute came out
of environmental, utility, civil,
and higher courts since the late
1990s in the U.S., Canada, New
Zealand, Australia, and the U.K.
Elsner said the study began,
in part, to provide wind develop-
ers’ attorneys with ideas and legal
precedents to help them defend
projects in court. “These claims
about health impacts kept com-
ing,” he said.
Of the eight American cases,
the one instance where neighbors
succeeded in hobbling wind tur-
bine operations was in the Cape
Cod town of Falmouth, Mass.
A government board sided last
year with neighbors, including
a Vietnam War veteran recover-
ing from PTSD, who said they
were sickened by a pair of town-
owned wind turbines. The tur-
bines were installed in 2010 to
power a wastewater treatment
plant and to sell excess electricity
onto the local utility’s grid.
The turbine blades are being
locked down every night from 7
p.m. to 7 a.m., and all day on
Sundays and some holidays, while
the town appeals the ruling in supe-
rior court. “We borrowed money
to pay for these things, and we
need that money to pay the bonds,”
Town Counsel Frank Duffy said.
The Energy and Policy
Institute and others trace claims
of far-reaching health problems
associated with wind turbines to
2009, when an American pediatri-
cian published a book that popu-
larized the phrase “wind turbine
syndrome.” But scientists who
have examined the claimed links
between wind turbines and health
problems have almost universally
rejected them.
“Of course wind turbines
make noise, and we all know
that noise can be annoying,” said
Melissa Whitfield Aslund, a sci-
entist at the Canadian consult-
ing firm Intrinsik, whose clients
include wind energy developers.
“Once sited properly, where you
have appropriate noise regula-
tions in place, and where people
aren’t being exposed to exces-
sive amounts of noise, there’s no
direct evidence of adverse effects
on human health.”
Whitfield Aslund collaborat-
ed with six Intrinsik colleagues to
review nearly 60 studies dealing
with the health effects of wind
turbines. The review, which was
published in June in the jour-
nal Frontiers in Public Health,
includes recommendations for
protecting neighbors from the
noise impacts of wind turbines,
such as considering local condi-
tions affecting how far sound
travels when siting wind turbines
– not just measuring the dis-
tances to the nearest home. The
report says the nocebo effect, in
which a patient can be convinced
that something benign is making
them sick, could be responsible
for many of the health complaints
associated with wind turbines.
So, too, the scientists wrote,
could be the annoyance and wor-
ries that some people experience
when unwanted turbines go up in
their neighborhoods. Such emo-
tions in general have been linked
by medical researchers to symp-
toms that resemble those of wind
turbine syndrome.
“There’s really nothing else
about wind turbines that’s unique
to wind turbines that would be
expected to cause any adverse
health impacts,” Whitfield
Aslund said.
But try telling that to the
19 Lake Winds Energy Park
neighbors in Michigan’s Mason
County who are suing over
what they say are reduced prop-
erty values and pain and suffer-
ing. Headaches, ringing in the
ears, dizziness, stress, “extreme
fatigue,” nausea, and a “dimin-
ished ability to concentrate” are
among the ailments they claim
to be suffering because of the
constant gyrations of the 56 tur-
bines. Their attorney, Craig Horn,
who worked on a similar case in
the past, is largely focused on
complaints of sleeplesness and
headaches.

Sara Says ...
By Sara Berelsman
Where’s Mom Now That I Need Her?:
Surviving Away from Home is a book that I
refer to frequently and one that I have used for
years. At this time of year, especially, it would
be perfect for students going
off to college. It contains lots
of recipes, nutritional infor-
mation, even help with buying
groceries. There is also infor-
mation about other aspects of
survival, like doing laundry
and cleaning.
I only call my mom about
a trillion times a day but this
book has also really helped
equip me with skills necessary
to live without my parents
and live with my own family
on a budget. The recipes are
ones that can be easily made
again and again, although the
description might not be elab-
orate enough for some readers
or novice chefs. I am the least
qualified cook in the world,
however, and I find the book to contain basic
common sense.
Besides recipes for food, the book contains
several recipes for household cleaning prod-
ucts, such as window cleaner. Some of these
recipes have proven to be useful at times when
money’s been tight or I’ve simply run out of
time to get to the store. There is also a section
on health and first-aid, which
has come in handy not only for
me but when taking care of my
kids, too.
My mom got me this book
right before I went off to col-
lege years ago and it has stood
the test of time. I used it when
I first got it and I still use it.
It is easy to understand and
comprehensive in its contents.
While it is not only a cook-
book, it is the one I’ve used the
most often in cooking.
In the Internet age, it is easy
to get by without buying any
cookbooks at all and simply
relying on websites for recipes.
I still usually prefer a book to
any search engine, so I value
this. While in some aspects it
does come across as a little outdated, overall
it’s timeless and could be passed down for
generations. Of course, I’ll just buy my girls
new copies because I want to keep mine.
AUG. 25-29
MONDAY: BBQ pork on a bun, macaroni salad, peaches,
coffee and 2 percent milk.
TUESDAY: Marinara meat sauce over spaghetti noodles,
cauliflower, garlic toast, peaches, coffee and 2 percent milk.
WEDNESDAY: Baked fish, redskin potatoes, cole slaw,
bread, margarine, fruit, coffee and 2 percent milk.
THURSDAY: Cube steak, mashed potatoes, mixed vegeta-
bles, dinner roll, margarine, apricots, coffee and 2 percent milk.
FRIDAY: Pork chop, sweet potatoes, cauliflower, bread,
margarine, dessert, coffee and 2 percent milk.

Woe is us, Buckeye fans!
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editorå
[email protected]
How quickly things can
change.
One moment, we Ohio
State University Buckeye
football fans are salivating at
the chance to be in the first-
ever College Football Playoff
— we’ll have to work on that
name, won’t we? I’ll come
up with something that the
powers-that-be won’t be able
to resist and get back with
you, dear readers!
The next heartbeat — the
moment Heisman-hopeful
quarterback Braxton Miller
damaged his throwing shoul-
der — we’re wondering what
will happen to our beloved
Buckeyes.
I don’t think ANY of the
college football powers: be
it Alabama — we’ll have to
come up with a name for
that school along the lines of
That Team Up North — USC,
Florida or LSU; has that kind
of depth to replace a Heisman
hopeful.
What’s even worse is that
no running back has stepped
forward to grab that job —
vacated by the graduated bull-
dozer Carlos Hyde — by the
throat and throttle it within an
inch of its life to take pressure
off the passing game; there
are four new starting offen-
sive linemen; there are no
experienced backups to step
in, with a redshirt freshman,
J.T. Barrett, the likely new
starter; and the secondary has
been blown up and rebuilt.
Why, oh why, couldn’t
Kenny Guiton have been
around another year?
There is no doubt OSU
head coach Urban Meyer
knows how to recruit great
talent and the Buckeyes —
even with the aforementioned
questions the Scarlet and
Grey had coming into camp,
they were ranked fifth com-
ing into the season by several
sources.
That talent will have to
step forward in spades and
live up to the hype/propa-
ganda/whatever you term it.
Others have pointed out
that redshirt freshmen have
done wonders the last two
years: Jameis Winston took
the Heisman last fall for
the Florida State Seminoles
and Johnny “Mr. Football”
Manziel did the same in 2012
with the Texas A&M Aggies.
We shall see starting Aug.
30 versus Navy at Baltimore.
One also wonders since
this will be the second shoul-
der surgery done on Miller in
the last six months, whether
he has seen his last days as a
quarterback since he plans on
redshirting for next fall.
———-
Do the Cincinnati Reds
have enough time to turn this
faltering around?
It helps that Brandon
Phillips has come back from
injury but with him coming
off left thumb surgery and
subsequent rehab, one won-
ders how effective he will be
swinging the bat, especially
right away?
It’s the offense that has
been the undoing of this Reds
team, not defense — which
is the specialty of Phillips —
and generally not pitching.
The starting pitching
hasn’t been perfect — is it
ever? — but it’s been far too
good to be having this kind of
season.
One also has to wonder
whither Alfredo Simon?
Could his last-month
woes be the result of him
wearing down being a starter
since he was a reliever mostly
the last three seasons.
He was supposedly only a
starter to start 2014 because
of an injury to Mat Latos,
who returned a while back.
Put him back in the bull-
pen.
The Reds brought up
Logan Andrusek and should
have sent down J.J. Hoover.
He has been utterly miser-
able this season, especially
the last two games but all
season.
I won’t go so far as some
have — he should never pitch
again for the Reds — but
he shouldn’t pitch again for
them this year.

way to start a season. We

“We lost 10 seniors from

two starters back,” she added.
“We are extremely young but
we are also very talented.
It’s just going to take some
time for these girls to gel

not consistently; I am confi-

However, we play a ridicu-

us a lot but even those teams
lost a lot of seniors. It’s going
to come down to which one
meshes quicker.”
It was an even battle for
the first 14-plus minutes as
both teams managed only one
shot on-goal in that time.
That ended at the 25:02
mark of the first half when
Lady ‘Dawg senior Brett
Pauff — who was one of
the chief bedevilers of the
Panthers (0-2) all night —
was tackled in the 18-yard
box, being rewarded with a
penalty kick. Her 6-yarder
was low and left past div-
ing senior goalkeeper Cassie
Glovier (15 saves vs. 21 shots
on-goal) and a 1-0 edge.
Just 3:16 later, the same
thing happened — Pauff was
brought down in the box and
rewarded with another PK.
This time, she went hard to
the right side for a 2-0 edge.
The hosts had anoth-
er prime couple of chanc-
es at the 17:15 mark when
freshman Shyah Wheeler’s
18-yarder from the right wing
was deflected by the keeper
to the other side, where senior
Jenna Halpern’s close-range
follow was also denied.
At 11:40, Glovier again
kept it close, kicking away a
6-yarder by Hope Carter off a
corner kick.
However, Elida knocked
home a third goal at 1:34
when Carter — on a ricochet
— went high middle over the
keeper on a 16-yard center
shot.
Elida has even more
chances the second half — 13
— than the first but Glovier
was tough (10 saves).
However, the Lady ‘Dawg
attack made it 4-0 at 36:42
when Pauff crossed from
right to left and found an open
Halpern on the left post; her
6-yarder found its mark.
At 33:25, Pauff set up
the final score. Her lead pass
from midfield down the cen-
ter found a streaking Carter,
who beat the last defender
and fired a 16-yarder to the
left side of the twine for a 5-0
scoreboard.
Glovier then held firm the
rest of the way except for one
last superb chance at 22:22.
Off a corner kick from the left
side, Pauff nearly curled it
in to the right side but junior
defender Hailey Chaplin
kicked the ball out of bounds
before it crossed the goal line.
The only real chance in
the second half for the Purple
and Gold came at 29:01
when junior Emma Rehberg
launched an arcing 30-yarder
from the left side that nearly
handcuffed Elida sophomore
netminder Lydia Burnett but
she managed to get the save
(3 saves vs. 3 shots on-goal).
Elida also showed its
aggression by owning the
corner kicks 11-0.
“That is one area we must
address. We didn’t convert on
any of them and we have to
be better than that,” Overholt
added. “That is where we

Hoyer beats injury, Manziel to win starting job
By TOM WITHERS
Associated Press
BEREA — Brian Hoyer
defied long odds — and stiff-
armed Johnny Football — to
keep his dream job.
Through sweat and tears,
he fought his way back from a
serious knee injury only to be
faced with the Browns drafting
Johnny Manziel, college foot-
ball’s dynamic quarterback
with the cult-like following.
Hoyer, though, persevered.
He endured grueling rehab to
get back on the field sooner
than expected, stayed focused
as Manzielmania consumed
the Browns, and ignored
trade rumors. It will be Hoyer
who will lead the Browns,
his hometown team, onto the
field for the Sept. 7 opener
against the archrival Pittsburgh
Steelers.
For a Cleveland kid cut by
three NFL teams and waiting
for his chance, it doesn’t get
any better.
“Obviously it’s very spe-
cial for me,” Hoyer said. “Did
I believe this could happen
after I got hurt? There was no
doubt in my mind but there
were days when rehab (stunk)
and I hated what I was doing.
It’s amazing how you appreci-
ate the game when it’s taken
away from you.”
Needing to fix
his offense quickly,
first-year Browns
coach Mike Pettine
chose Hoyer as his
starter Wednesday
over Manziel,
who wasn’t able
to do enough dur-
ing training camp
or two preseason
games to convince
Cleveland’s coaching staff he
deserved the job.
Manziel is 0-1 as a pro.
“It’s obviously disappoint-
ing,” Manziel said. “I feel like
if I would have come out and
played better it would have
been a different outcome. I
don’t think I played terrible but
I didn’t do anything to jump
off the page. I made strides and
got better throughout training
camp and that’s what I wanted
to do.”
Despite a 40-percent com-
pletion percentage, 57.9 rating
and seeming to buckle under
the pressure this month, Hoyer
will start the season. However,
in Cleveland that usually only
guarantees one game. After all,
the Browns have had 20 start-
ing quarterbacks since 1999.
Hoyer is the 12th QB to start
the opener, a damning indict-
ment toward a franchise that
has only made the playoffs
once in its expansion era.
The first major
decision of Pettine’s
coaching career
wasn’t easy. He
chose Hoyer’s
experience over
Manziel’s potential
and he may have to
make another switch.
Pettine knows the
best plans can change
in an instant.
“Give me a crystal ball and
I’ll tell you,” he replied when
asked if Manziel will play this
season. “The NFL season is so
long, so much can happen. We
don’t want Brian looking over
his shoulder thinking one bad
throw and I’m out. But over
time, if you feel you have to
make a change, time will tell.
“You could foresee a sce-
nario where he doesn’t play
this year and there are other
scenarios that are absolutely
possible as well. It’s hard to
tell.”
Pettine brushed aside the
notion Hoyer is on a short
leash.
Pettine’s selection of Hoyer
will finally allow the Browns to
move to other things and there’s
plenty of work to be done.
Pettine had targeted the
third preseason game as the
drop-dead date to pick his
starter but after both Hoyer and
Manziel looked so bad in a loss
at Washington on Monday, he
met with his staff Tuesday
night. He informed Hoyer and
Manziel of his decision before
a team meeting.
Hoyer didn’t have enough
time to contact his family but
while he was in the meeting,
he received dozens of con-
gratulatory text messages.
Nothing has ever come
easy for him and although
there was an outside percep-
tion Manziel would prevail,
the 28-year-old Hoyer wasn’t
going down without a fight.
With Manziel on his heels,
he can’t relax.
Manziel temporarily is
pushed aside; that appears
to be OK with the 21-year-
old, who draws attention with
every move he makes on and
off the field.
Manziel has no regrets
about the way he approached
his competition with Hoyer.
He was widely criticized for
some weekend partying but the
2012 Heisman Trophy winner
insists he wouldn’t change a
thing. He’s developing as a
player, maturing as a man and
hopes to one day take over.
NOTES: Browns DE
Desmond Bryant underwent wrist
surgery. Pettine doesn’t know yet
if Bryant, limited to 12 games last
season by a heart problem, will
be back for the opener.

AP source: Bengals’ LB Burfict gets 3-year deal
Associated Press
CINCINNATI — The
Bengals and Vontaze Burfict
agreed to a 3-year contract
extension that will pay the Pro
Bowl linebacker a maximum
of $20.05 million through
2017, a person familiar with
the deal told The Associated
Press.
Burfict is making $570,000
in the final year of his original
deal with Cincinnati, which
took a minimal risk when it
signed him as an undrafted
free agent from Arizona State
in 2012.
Under his extension, he’ll
make $10 million through
next summer, said the person
speaking on condition of ano-
nymity because the deal hasn’t
been announced by the team
or signed by the linebacker.
Burfict was sent home after
he became ill on Wednesday.
He could sign the deal when
he’s feeling better.
Burfict has quickly
emerged as the Bengals’ top
defensive player. His exten-
sion comes two weeks after
the Bengals got quarterback
Andy Dalton — also entering
the final year on his original
deal — under contract through
2020 for up to $115 million.

Woe is us, Buckeye fans!
By JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports Editorå
[email protected]
How quickly things can
change.
One moment, we Ohio
State University Buckeye
football fans are salivating at
the chance to be in the first-
ever College Football Playoff
— we’ll have to work on that
name, won’t we? I’ll come
up with something that the
powers-that-be won’t be able
to resist and get back with
you, dear readers!
The next heartbeat — the
moment Heisman-hopeful
quarterback Braxton Miller
damaged his throwing shoul-
der — we’re wondering what
will happen to our beloved
Buckeyes.
I don’t think ANY of the
college football powers: be
it Alabama — we’ll have to
come up with a name for
that school along the lines of
That Team Up North — USC,
Florida or LSU; has that kind
of depth to replace a Heisman
hopeful.
What’s even worse is that
no running back has stepped
forward to grab that job —
vacated by the graduated bull-
dozer Carlos Hyde — by the
throat and throttle it within an
inch of its life to take pressure
off the passing game; there
are four new starting offen-
sive linemen; there are no
experienced backups to step
in, with a redshirt freshman,
J.T. Barrett, the likely new
starter; and the secondary has
been blown up and rebuilt.
Why, oh why, couldn’t
Kenny Guiton have been
around another year?
There is no doubt OSU
head coach Urban Meyer
knows how to recruit great
talent and the Buckeyes —
even with the aforementioned
questions the Scarlet and
Grey had coming into camp,
they were ranked fifth com-
ing into the season by several
sources.
That talent will have to
step forward in spades and
live up to the hype/propa-
ganda/whatever you term it.
Others have pointed out
that redshirt freshmen have
done wonders the last two
years: Jameis Winston took
the Heisman last fall for
the Florida State Seminoles
and Johnny “Mr. Football”
Manziel did the same in 2012
with the Texas A&M Aggies.
We shall see starting Aug.
30 versus Navy at Baltimore.
One also wonders since
this will be the second shoul-
der surgery done on Miller in
the last six months, whether
he has seen his last days as a
quarterback since he plans on
redshirting for next fall.
———-
Do the Cincinnati Reds
have enough time to turn this
faltering around?
It helps that Brandon
Phillips has come back from
injury but with him coming
off left thumb surgery and
subsequent rehab, one won-
ders how effective he will be
swinging the bat, especially
right away?
It’s the offense that has
been the undoing of this Reds
team, not defense — which
is the specialty of Phillips —
and generally not pitching.
The starting pitching
hasn’t been perfect — is it
ever? — but it’s been far too
good to be having this kind of
season.
One also has to wonder
whither Alfredo Simon?
Could his last-month
woes be the result of him
wearing down being a starter
since he was a reliever mostly
the last three seasons.
He was supposedly only a
starter to start 2014 because
of an injury to Mat Latos,
who returned a while back.
Put him back in the bull-
pen.
The Reds brought up
Logan Andrusek and should
have sent down J.J. Hoover.
He has been utterly miser-
able this season, especially
the last two games but all
season.
I won’t go so far as some
have — he should never pitch
again for the Reds — but
he shouldn’t pitch again for
them this year.

Lady ‘Dawgs open soccer campaign with 5-0 whitewash

ELIDA — Elida is used to
having a tough time against
Maumee in girls soccer
action.
The Lady Bulldogs didn’t
have as difficult a time as
they have had in the past
Wednesday evening, posting
a dominant 5-0 shutout of the
Lady Panthers at the Elida

Hoyer beats injury, Manziel to win starting job
By TOM WITHERS
Associated Press
BEREA — Brian Hoyer
defied long odds — and stiff-
armed Johnny Football — to
keep his dream job.
Through sweat and tears,
he fought his way back from a
serious knee injury only to be
faced with the Browns drafting
Johnny Manziel, college foot-
ball’s dynamic quarterback
with the cult-like following.
Hoyer, though, persevered.
He endured grueling rehab to
get back on the field sooner
than expected, stayed focused
as Manzielmania consumed
the Browns, and ignored
trade rumors. It will be Hoyer
who will lead the Browns,
his hometown team, onto the
field for the Sept. 7 opener
against the archrival Pittsburgh
Steelers.
For a Cleveland kid cut by
three NFL teams and waiting
for his chance, it doesn’t get
any better.
“Obviously it’s very spe-
cial for me,” Hoyer said. “Did
I believe this could happen
after I got hurt? There was no
doubt in my mind but there
were days when rehab (stunk)
and I hated what I was doing.
It’s amazing how you appreci-
ate the game when it’s taken
away from you.”
Needing to fix
his offense quickly,
first-year Browns
coach Mike Pettine
chose Hoyer as his
starter Wednesday
over Manziel,
who wasn’t able
to do enough dur-
ing training camp
or two preseason
games to convince
Cleveland’s coaching staff he
deserved the job.
Manziel is 0-1 as a pro.
“It’s obviously disappoint-
ing,” Manziel said. “I feel like
if I would have come out and
played better it would have
been a different outcome. I
don’t think I played terrible but
I didn’t do anything to jump
off the page. I made strides and
got better throughout training
camp and that’s what I wanted
to do.”
Despite a 40-percent com-
pletion percentage, 57.9 rating
and seeming to buckle under
the pressure this month, Hoyer
will start the season. However,
in Cleveland that usually only
guarantees one game. After all,
the Browns have had 20 start-
ing quarterbacks since 1999.
Hoyer is the 12th QB to start
the opener, a damning indict-
ment toward a franchise that
has only made the playoffs
once in its expansion era.
The first major
decision of Pettine’s
coaching career
wasn’t easy. He
chose Hoyer’s
experience over
Manziel’s potential
and he may have to
make another switch.
Pettine knows the
best plans can change
in an instant.
“Give me a crystal ball and
I’ll tell you,” he replied when
asked if Manziel will play this
season. “The NFL season is so
long, so much can happen. We
don’t want Brian looking over
his shoulder thinking one bad
throw and I’m out. But over
time, if you feel you have to
make a change, time will tell.
“You could foresee a sce-
nario where he doesn’t play
this year and there are other
scenarios that are absolutely
possible as well. It’s hard to
tell.”
Pettine brushed aside the
notion Hoyer is on a short
leash.
Pettine’s selection of Hoyer
will finally allow the Browns to
move to other things and there’s
plenty of work to be done.
Pettine had targeted the
third preseason game as the
drop-dead date to pick his
starter but after both Hoyer and
Manziel looked so bad in a loss
at Washington on Monday, he
met with his staff Tuesday
night. He informed Hoyer and
Manziel of his decision before
a team meeting.
Hoyer didn’t have enough
time to contact his family but
while he was in the meeting,
he received dozens of con-
gratulatory text messages.
Nothing has ever come
easy for him and although
there was an outside percep-
tion Manziel would prevail,
the 28-year-old Hoyer wasn’t
going down without a fight.
With Manziel on his heels,
he can’t relax.
Manziel temporarily is
pushed aside; that appears
to be OK with the 21-year-
old, who draws attention with
every move he makes on and
off the field.
Manziel has no regrets
about the way he approached
his competition with Hoyer.
He was widely criticized for
some weekend partying but the
2012 Heisman Trophy winner
insists he wouldn’t change a
thing. He’s developing as a
player, maturing as a man and
hopes to one day take over.
NOTES: Browns DE
Desmond Bryant underwent wrist
surgery. Pettine doesn’t know yet
if Bryant, limited to 12 games last
season by a heart problem, will
be back for the opener.

AP source: Bengals’ LB Burfict gets 3-year deal
Associated Press
CINCINNATI — The
Bengals and Vontaze Burfict
agreed to a 3-year contract
extension that will pay the Pro
Bowl linebacker a maximum
of $20.05 million through
2017, a person familiar with
the deal told The Associated
Press.
Burfict is making $570,000
in the final year of his original
deal with Cincinnati, which
took a minimal risk when it
signed him as an undrafted
free agent from Arizona State
in 2012.
Under his extension, he’ll
make $10 million through
next summer, said the person
speaking on condition of ano-
nymity because the deal hasn’t
been announced by the team
or signed by the linebacker.
Burfict was sent home after
he became ill on Wednesday.
He could sign the deal when
he’s feeling better.
Burfict has quickly
emerged as the Bengals’ top
defensive player. His exten-
sion comes two weeks after
the Bengals got quarterback
Andy Dalton — also entering
the final year on his original
deal — under contract through
2020 for up to $115 million.

Toyota manufacturer looking for
horsepower in NASCAR engines
By JENNA FRYER
Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. —
Denny Hamlin was clear-
ly frustrated a week ago at
Michigan, when some jockey-
ing for position led to a con-
frontation with Dale Earnhardt
Jr. after the race.
His Toyota engine is at the
root of Hamlin’s displeasure
and the manufacturer doesn’t
disagree. Hamlin said after
Sunday’s race that he’s doing
everything he can to keep up
with the Hendrick Motorsports
engines.
“We need to be better,” said
David Wilson, president of
Toyota Racing Development.
“The folks over at the Hendrick
shop have done a great job this
year and they’ve got an edge,
not just on us but the others as
well.”
At this time a year ago,
Toyota was headed to Bristol
Motor Speedway with nine
Sprint Cup wins. The manu-
facturer picked up another two
with consecutive victories at
Bristol and Atlanta. This year,
Toyota has just two Cup wins
with Saturday night’s race
coming up at Bristol.
“For whatever reason, we
got off to a bad start this year,”
said team owner Joe Gibbs,
has Toyota’s only two victo-
ries this year. “We’re trying
to close hard and trying to
put ourselves in a good posi-
tion. We’ve got some good
updates coming in the motor
and so hopefully we get hot
at the right time. We’ve been
behind.”
Wilson doesn’t know how
far Toyota is behind in horse-
power; manufacturers know
their own engines but not the
details of their rivals’ engines.
Wilson said he doesn’t think
it’s as bad as Hamlin portrayed.
“We’re not down 50 horse-
power, I guarantee you that,”
Wilson said. “But we also rec-
ognize we need to be better and
have been very, very candid
and open that we’re continuing
to work to make sure when we
get to the Chase, we’re more
competitive.”
Both Hamlin and Kyle
Busch have wins this season
and will make the Chase for
the Sprint Cup Championship.
Matt Kenseth, who had a
series-high seven victories a
year ago, is winless but should
make the Chase on points.
Michael Waltrip Racing driver
Clint Bowyer is also winless
and on the bubble of making
the Chase.
“As an engine builder,
we always say, ‘You’re never
good enough’,” Wilson add-
ed. “Find me a driver that’s
ever happy with their engine
performance and you’re going
to find a not very good driver.”
_
NASCAR TEST: NASCAR
hopes to have the 2015 rules
package ready by next month so
teams can begin working on next
year’s cars.
Gene Stefanyshyn,
NASCAR’s vice president of inno-
vation and racing development,
said a Monday test at Michigan
International Speedway empha-
sized rules for intermediate tracks
with no plans for a second test.
NASCAR had teams first test
a rear differential gear change fol-
lowed by different aerodynamics
packages. NASCAR used aero-
dynamic plates called dive planes
under the front bumper to help bal-
ance the car with a bigger, 9-inch
spoiler.
NASCAR also attempted to
a package that let drivers adjust
the track bar inside the car them-
selves.
“The aero package will knock
a bit of a speed off the end of
the straightaway because we
have a bit more drag on the car,”
Stefanyshyn added. “I think taking
some speed off is the direction
we’re headed. The amount, we will
wait to see what the information
shows us.”
NASCAR tested at three dif-
ferent power levels: 850 horse-
power, 800 horsepower and 750
horsepower.
__HORNISH-NBC SPORTS:
Sam Hornish Jr. will be back with
IndyCar this weekend as a guest
analyst for NBC Sports Network’s
coverage of Sunday’s race at
Sonoma.
Hornish will join analyst Paul
Tracy and play-by-play announcer
Brian Till in the booth. Hornish and
Tracy have a combined 50 wins in
open wheel racing.
Hornish, who is currently run-
ning a part-time Nationwide Series
schedule for Joe Gibbs Racing, is
a 3-time IndyCar champion. His
2006 championship was the last
for Team Penske, which heads
into Sonoma in command of the
title race. Will Power and Helio
Castroneves, both Penske drivers,
are ranked first and second in the
IndyCar standings with two races
remaining. Juan Pablo Montoya is
fifth in points.

3-year deal was ending, the
Bengals could have kept him as
a restricted free agent next year
for $3.8 million. The extension
gives them some certainty with
his contract over the next four
seasons.
The linebacker has gotten
beyond the issues that made
every team wary of drafting
him. He let his emotions get in
the way at Arizona State, where
he was repeatedly penalized
and disciplined for personal
fouls.
A low point was a 2010
game when Burfict head-butted
Oregon State quarterback Ryan
Katz. Later, he was benched
during a game for getting two
personal fouls in the first half.
After a poor showing at the
2012 combine, nobody was
willing to draft him — not even
in the seventh round.
The Bengals signed him
for a minimal contract and he
was a starter by the end of his
rookie season.
Last year, he led the team in
tackles 12 times, was honored
as the AFC’s defensive player
of the week for a 15-tackle
performance against Cleveland
that included a fumble return
for a touchdown and made his
first Pro Bowl.

endorsement from the Hall of
Fame’s senior committee was a
big step toward enshrinement for
the 6-time Pro Bowl pick. Tingelhoff
went undrafted out of Nebraska in
1962, yet became a starter as a
rookie and kept the job his whole
career until retiring after the 1978
season.
Tingelhoff never missed
a game and was a key part of
Vikings teams that won 10 divi-
sion titles and reached four Super
Bowls.
Senior nominees are players
whose careers ended at least 25
years ago.

AFC North trying to regain reputation as the best
By JOE KAY
Associated Press
CINCINNATI — They do
things a little differently in the
AFC North.
They’re patient with their
coaches and quarterbacks —
well, with the exception of
Cleveland, which is in a league
of its own when it comes to
change.
They develop a style and
stick with it, win or lose.And
it’s worked.
The AFC North is coming
off what amounts to a down
year for the NFL’s most suc-
cessful division over the past six
years. Only one team reached
the playoffs, Cincinnati, which
lost in the opening round for the
third year in a row.
The Bengals’ response?
Give the coach and the quarter-
back contract extensions.
“You see some of the teams
in the North, just the way they
go about the game is a little dif-
ferent from some teams across
the league,” Bengals offensive
tackle Andrew Whitworth said.
Defending champion
Cincinnati has undergone the
fewest offseason changes,
aiming for a franchise-record
fourth straight trip to the play-
offs. The Steelers and Ravens
have adjusted their rosters but
stayed with their overriding
philosophies.
And then there’s Cleveland,
where the only thing that hasn’t
got lost in the shuffle is the non-
stop losing.
Some things to watch in the
AFC North this season:
THE DOMINANT
DIVISION: No other division
has sent as many teams to the
playoffs over the last six years.
A dozen teams reached the post-
season over that span, two more
than any other division. The
North’s streak of five straight
years with multiple playoff
teams ended last season.
Northerners have reached
the Super Bowl three times
over that span, claiming two
titles. Last year was the first
time since the 2009 season that
the North didn’t get at least one
playoff victory.
ANDY’S TIME: No quar-
terback in the division will be
under more scrutiny than Andy
Dalton, who has been as good
as it gets during the regular
season and at his very worst in
the playoffs. The Bengals gave
him a 6-year contract extension
even though he’s 0-3 in the
postseason.
He fell apart during the sec-
ond half of a 27-10 playoff loss
to San Diego last season. The
Bengals haven’t won a playoff
game since 1990, tied for the
sixth-longest streak of futility
in league history.
“The guys have stuck with
me from the time that I’ve been
here,” Dalton said. “I had to
earn their respect at the begin-
ning and now I feel like I have
their respect. Yeah, the (play-
off) game didn’t go how we
wanted it to. I was a big part of
the reason why we lost.”
LET BEN BE BEN: The
Steelers went 6-2 down the
stretch to stay in playoff con-
tention last season before fin-
ishing 8-8, missing out on the
postseason for the second year
in a row. The Steelers gave
2-time Super Bowl champion
Ben Roethlisberger more free-
dom in a no-huddle offense
during the late surge and will be
looking for more of the same.
Only seven players were
left from their last Super Bowl
title team when they opened
camp.
“There is a sense of urgen-
cy,” said receiver Lance Moore,
one of the newcomers. “We
know 8-8 is not what this orga-
nization is all about. This orga-
nization is about competing for
championships and we’re going
to be willing to do whatever it
takes to get back to that.”

Dear Abby
Cousin’s tag-along kids push
the limit of bride’s guest list
Dr. Anthony
Komoroff
On
Health
Time-out must be enforced to be effective
DEAR DOCTOR
K: You’ve mentioned
time-outs as an
appropriate way to
discipline young
children. But they
don’t work for my son,
at least the way I’m
doing them. What can
I do differently?
DEAR READER:
When children are
young, discipline
means teaching
them self-control
and the difference
between acceptable
and unacceptable
behaviors. One way to
do this is with a time-
out.
The technique
doesn’t work well for
kids younger than 18
months. After that
age, however, your
child can increasingly
understand what you
are saying. Explaining
to the child calmly
what he did wrong adds
to the effectiveness of
the time-out.
A time-out involves
taking a “break”
away from a difficult
situation and spending
time in a less appealing
place. A time-out is a
chance for your son to
cool down and think
about his behavior.
The following tips
may help make your
son’s time-outs more
effective:
-- Know when to
use one. Time-outs
are most useful for
aggressive, harmful or
disruptive behaviors
such as hitting,
kicking, biting or
throwing things -- all
behaviors that cannot
be ignored. That’s
because a time-out
teaches peaceful
problem solving.
Time-outs are usually
less effective for
behaviors that can
be ignored, such as
temper tantrums or
whining.
-- Make sure you
mean it when you say
it. A time-out rarely
works if you threaten
to use it without
following through.
Once you’ve decided
to give one, no amount
of apologizing, tears
or negotiation should
change that decision.
-- Make sure a
time-out is actually
happening. A time-
out must be enforced
so that it actually
happens. If your child
refuses to stay in
time-out, place him
in the time-out chair
and hold him gently
but firmly by the
shoulders from behind
for the duration of
time-out. There should
be no discussion or
negotiation during this
time. Don’t sit in the
time-out chair yourself
and hold the child
on your lap. That’s
fine to do as positive
reinforcement when
the child is behaving
well. But not when
he’s been misbehaving
and needs some
negative feedback.
-- Make sure
the place is right.
Remember that time-
out works because it
removes your child
from his favorite
activities and takes
him away from your
attention. Make sure
the time-out chair is in
a boring place, where
your son cannot see
the television or other
people.
Sometimes a time-
out will be necessary
when you and your
child are not in your
home. Wherever
you are, perhaps in
a shopping mall, be
sure that the location
you choose for the
time-out will be really
boring for your child.
An important part of
making a time-out
effective is making it
boring, as kids hate to
be bored, even more
than we do.
-- Make sure time-
out doesn’t last too
long. Do not keep your
child in time-out for
more than one minute
for each year of age
(for example, about
three minutes for a
3-year-old).
-- Finally, praise
good behavior. Make
sure your child knows
that he will get more
attention from you for
positive behaviors than
for negative behaviors.

DEAR ABBY: I am being married later this
year, and I’m planning my guest list. My cousin
“Emily” has five young children who I’m making
an exception to invite. She lives across the country,
so she’s starting to book her plane reservations.
Emily just announced that she’s being
remarried and her fiance has three children he
shares joint custody of. Am I obligated to invite
three children I have never met? This is causing
a lot of grief between me and my fiance because
Emily assumes that they are all welcome. Please
advise. -- D.C. IN NYC
DEAR D.C.: Call Cousin Emily. Explain that
your guest list is limited and that her five children
-- to whom you are related -- are the exceptions. No
other children have been invited to the wedding,
and you would prefer to get to know her fiance’s
children under less stressful circumstances.
Emily’s wrong to assume she can include
anyone whose name wasn’t on her wedding
invitation. The children can stay with their mother
or grandparents during the time their father will be
away.

DEAR ABBY: My husband prefers leftovers
to sandwiches for his work lunch. He generally
takes them in reusable plastic bowls that claim to
be dishwasher and microwave safe.
After a short time, these bowls become terribly
stained. Not only are they unsightly, but sometimes
they harbor odors. Even though they have been
thoroughly washed, they seem unclean. We have
noticed this happens more often with tomato-based
food like spaghetti or barbecue.
I have tried soaking the bowls overnight in
dishwashing detergent and even using a small
amount of bleach, but the stains remain. Is there
a way to remove the stains and odors, or must I
continue to buy new bowls and throw the stained
ones out? -- BOWLED OVER IN ALABAMA
DEAR BOWLED OVER: According to
“Haley’s Hints,” by Graham and Rosemary Haley
(New American Library), if you soak the bowls and
lids in cold water for five minutes or more before
putting the leftovers into them, you can prevent
the staining from happening. And the odors can be
removed by placing crumpled newspaper inside
them and putting the tops on before storing them.
(This is also an effective way to deodorize shoes.)
DEAR ABBY: My daughter just got remarried
to a man who has a 10-year-old son. I don’t know
the boy at all. What is the appropriate name he
should call me? My daughter already has two boys
from her first marriage and they, of course, call
me Grandma. I don’t feel comfortable having her
new stepson call me Grandma. Any suggestions?
-- NAMELESS IN NEW YORK
DEAR NAMELESS: Is your heart really
so closed that you would tell that boy he isn’t
welcome in it? I urge you to be more accepting of
this child, or you may get a name that isn’t fit for
a family newspaper -- and not only will the boy be
using it, but also his father.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Jennings students’ scores com-
pared to state average, in parenthe-
sis, include: English, 21.5 (21.4);
Mathematics, 24.7 (21.7); Reading,
22.7 (22.4); Science, 23.4 (22.0);
and Composition, 23.3 (22.0).
Board members approved the A
La Carte in the cafeteria and the
2014/15 elementary handbook.
“There were seven items that had
minimal price changes from last
year,” Langhals said.
Members also agreed to enter
into a contract to pay Wood County
Juvenile Detention Center $64 per
day for each student in the facility
and $64 per day for each student at
the Juvenile Residential Center of
Northwest Ohio receiving long-term
care. The daily rate for Wood County
Alternative School students will be
$45.
Board members also approved the
tentative bus routes for the 2014/15
school year, which the Superintendent
reserves the right to alter as needed.
“The routes may need adjustment
by the bus drivers due to new stu-
dents being added to a route or a
change in drop offs,” Langhals said.
“The bus drivers have similar routes
to last year and we will finalize them
in September.”
Todd Hoehn was recommended for
the position of Elementary Student
Council Advisor for the 2014/15
school year.
“Since Mr. Hoehn will be interact-
ing with the elementary students, it
will be a good transition to have a
veteran teacher down there with Mr.
Dubé,” Langhals explained.
A resolution was unanimously
passed by all members to join the
Ohio School Boards Association
(OSBA) Workers Compensation
Group which enables small to medi-
um-size districts with better than
average claim histories to combine
claim expenses and rate calculations
and take advantage of premium sav-
ings larger districts enjoy.
New Elementary Principal
Matthew Dubé said it was a great
first day of school with lots of ener-
gy, especially at lunch.
“It was a really good experience
for me,” he said.
Dubé announced Sept. 11 will be
the day the school holds its vision
screenings for kindergartners, first-,
third- and fifth-graders and Scoliosis
screening for sixth-graders.
Treasurer Valerie Maag said the
school will save 40-45 percent on
premiums.
The next school board meet-
ing will be held at 7:30 p.m. on
September 17 in the school’s library.
(Continued from page 1)
“We usually come out on the short end of open enrollment but we
made out pretty well this year,” Superintendent Scott Mangas said
during Wednesday’s school board meeting.
Student will come in to the district from Delphos, Fort
Jennings, Kalida, Lincolnview, Paulding, Wayne Trace, Van Wert
and Continental.
Ottoville will also raise its lunch prices 10 cents across the
board. A student lunch will be $2.15 and an adult $2.40. The hike
is due to federal mandates. Under the mandate, students’ lunches
at schools with free- and reduced-lunch students must have a
weighted average of $2.70. If not, the district must raise prices 10
cents per year until they reach the average. This is the third year
the district has raised prices 10 cents.
Arp’s Dairy will continue to provide the district with dairy
products and juice and Nickles Bakery baked goods for the 2014-
15 school year.
The board accepted numerous donations, including $1,922
from Pepsi Bottling Company for contract donations; $35.10
from US Green Fiber for recycling; $4,249 from the Ottoville Big
Green Athletic Boosters for a volleyball machine; $214 from the
Putnam County Ag Society for the band’s appearance at the fair;
and $500 each from the Ottoville Home & School and Ottoville
Music Boosters for liability insurance.
In other action, the board:
Approved payment to the “on call” custodian for the 2014-15
school year at $25 per game for all home varsity basketball games;
• Approved payment to ticket takers, scorekeepers and timers
for the 2014-15 school year at $25 per game for all home sporting
events;
• Approved Katie Schnipke as the official school photographer
for this school year;
• Approved the adult and student tickets for all high school
contests at $6 and $4 respectively. All tickets at the door will be
$6;
• Approved the resignation of Susan Jones as junior high var-
sity track and assistant varsity track coach;
• Approved all bus stops for the school year and appointed
Mangas to make any changes necessary throughout the school
year as needed; and
• Approved Angela Birkemeier as a Summer Intervention
teacher.
The Sept. 24 meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Cloverdale at
the St. Barbara Parish Center.

Last 4 hostages freed in suburban Chicago standoff
BY M. SPENCER GREEN
and JASON KEYSER
Associated Press
HARVEY, Ill. — About two
dozen heavily armed law enforce-
ment officers stormed a home
in Chicago’s southern suburbs
Wednesday to free four remain-
ing hostages and capture two sus-
pects, ending a 20-hour standoff
that police say began as a robbery
attempt.
Two women and two children
were freed midmorning from the
home in the small city of Harvey,
with the captors at one point fir-
ing through a second-floor door as
officers rushed toward it down a
hallway, said Cook County Sheriff
Tom Dart.
Footage shot by a TV news heli-
copter showed officers with body
armor, shields and rifles rushing
toward the home from two direc-
tions and sweeping in through the
front door as other officers aimed
weapons and took cover near two
large armored vehicles parked out
front.
Four children had been freed
overnight after hours of talks and
the hostage-takers were given ciga-
rettes in exchange, Dart said.
The decision to send armed offi-
cers in came after nearly continu-
ous negotiations, during which the
hostage-takers intermittently issued
threats, saying “they were going to
kill the kids ... to kill everybody,”
the sheriff told The Associated
Press in a phone interview later
Wednesday.
“It was a roller-coaster ride,”
said Dart, who had been on the
scene during the all-night talks. “It
went from idle chatter to threats,
then back to idle chatter to threats
again.”
The shots through the door
missed officers running up stairs
and down the hallway, and officers
immediately broke through the door
and managed to subdue the hostage-
takers, Dart said.
Minutes later, officers ran from
the house with the remaining hos-
tages, leading them by hand to an
armored truck, then brought out two
men in handcuffs.
Dart did not immediately have
the name of the suspects, but he
said they appeared to have violent
criminal histories.
The standoff began at 12:45 p.m.
Tuesday when police in Harvey
responded to a neighbor’s report
of a possible burglary at the home.
Two officers were wounded in an
initial exchange of gunfire, and the
two suspects barricaded themselves
inside the home with the eight cap-
tives.
Officer Darnell Keel, an 18-year
veteran of the police force, will
undergo surgery for a broken arm,
Howard said. A second officer suf-
fered a graze wound to an arm.
Dart said talks reached a stale-
mate at late morning. Negotiators
still had an open phone line as the
officers used a battering ram on an
armored truck to break down the
door and sweep in.
“We’d been giving them oppor-
tunities for the last almost 24 hours
to come out,” he said, adding that
hostage specialists concluded it was
the right time to act.
Officers knew both the hostage-
takers and the hostages were on the
second floor and quickly marched
up the stairs after securing the
ground floor, Dart said.
It was initially thought no shots
were fired during the rescue, but
Dart told the AP it became clear
later the captors had shot at officers
during the operation that lasted just
minutes.
The hostage-takers didn’t speak
directly to negotiators, but instead
used one of the women to relay
messages back and forth over the
phone, Dart said.
Four of the captive children were
from one family and the other two
were relatives, according to Dart,
adding that nothing indicated any
relationship between them and the
hostage-takers. One of the adult
women held captive is a nurse who
was at the home to care for a 2-year-
old girl.
No one was hurt physically, but
they did show signs of an emotional
toll, Dart said. Some of the children
were just 1 year old.
“The hostages were hysterical,”
Dart said about their rescue. “They
were screaming and unable to talk.”
The hostage-takers allowed one
of the adult hostages, a nurse, to
escort the first four children they
released. The woman then had to
re-enter the house.
Thomas West told local radio
and TV stations that his aunt, the
nurse, told him she was glad to
get the children out. However, she
also feared that by going back into
the house, she might not come out
again.
“She said all she did was fall
in line, did what she was told and
that’s the way she was able to get
out alive,” West said. “They allowed
her to nurse to the kids, feed them,
get them what they need.”

High court blocks same-sex unions in Virginia
BY MICHAEL
FELBERBAUM
Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. —
Same-sex couples will have
to forget their plans to marry
in Virginia — at least for now
— after the U.S. Supreme
Court agreed Wednesday to
delay an appeals court ruling
striking down the state’s gay
marriage ban.
The nation’s highest court
granted a request from a coun-
ty clerk in northern Virginia
to delay a decision by the 4th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
in Richmond that would have
allowed for same-sex couples
to marry beginning today
morning. The state would
have also had to start recog-
nizing gay marriages from out
of state if the Supreme Court
had denied the request. The
court provided no explanation
for its order.
The Supreme Court’s deci-
sion was not unexpected, as
it previously issued an order
in January putting same-sex
unions on hold in Utah. A fed-
eral appeals court had upheld a
decision striking down Utah’s
ban. Most other federal court
decisions in favor of same-sex
marriage also have been put
on hold.
By granting the delay, the
Supreme Court is making
clear that it “believes a digni-
fied process is better than dis-
order,” said Byron Babione,
senior counsel for Alliance
Defending Freedom, a con-
servative legal group based
in Scottsdale, Arizona, that
supported the challenge by
the two Virginia circuit court
clerks whose duties include
issuing marriage licenses.
“Virginians deserve an
orderly and fair resolution
to the question of whether
they will remain free to pre-
serve marriage as the union
of a man and a woman in
their laws,” Babione said in a
statement.
Supporters of same-sex mar-
riage were disappointed, saying
gay and lesbian couples have
waited long enough to marry.
“Loving couples — and
families — should not have
to endure yet another stand-
still before their commitment
to one another is recognized
here in Virginia,” James
Parrish, executive director of
Equality Virginia, said in a
statement.
While awaiting the court’s
ruling, Virginia officials and
some clergy members were
preparing for the possibility
that same-sex couples would
have been able to wed by
drafting a revised marriage
license form for courthouse
clerks. Some clerks in urban
areas were also preparing for
an influx of marriage license
applicants by bringing in
deputy clerks to assist with
marriage licenses and setting
up overflow rooms.
Earlier this year, the
Williams Institute at the
UCLA School of Law esti-
mated that as many as 7,100
same-sex Virginia couples
could get married within
three years of a change in
law. That’s based on 2010
Census figures showing
Virginia had 14,243 same-
sex couples and past expe-
riences with Massachusetts
after gay marriage was legal-
ized there.
Virginia voters approved
a constitutional amendment
in 2006 that banned gay mar-
riage and prohibited the rec-
ognition of such marriages
performed in other states.
State Attorney General Mark
Herring has said he will not
defend the ban and believes
the courts were correct in
striking it down.
The appeals court ruling
overturning that ban was the
third such ruling by a federal
appeals court and the first in
the South, a region where the
rising tide of rulings favor-
ing marriage equality is test-
ing concepts of states’ rights
and traditional, conservative
moral values that have long
held sway.

Truth be told, we’re both perplexed about
which Emmy nominees will carry trophies
home from Monday’s ceremony.
Allow us to explain. There was so much
great TV last season that standout prime-
time shows including “The Good Wife” and
“Scandal” and stars Michael Sheen (“Masters
of Sex”) and James Spader (“The Blacklist”)
didn’t even make the cut as nominees.
Those who did are, for the most part,
richly deserving. But now how to choose
among them?
Then there’s this year’s notable trend of
shape-shifting, with programs squeezed into
categories that could give them better odds of
winning — even if the fit might raise viewers’
eyebrows.
Cases in point: Netflix’s prison-set
“Orange Is the New Black,” which despite
its dark content is vying with the likes of
“Modern Family” for comedy laurels, and
HBO’s “True Detective,” which looks all
the world like a miniseries yet is gunning for
“Mad Men” and other open-ended dramas.
Thanks, TV academy, for keeping us all
guessing!
Even so, this pair of TV devotees are
game to try to read the minds of Emmy voters
and, in a bit of bravado, offer up our choices
for the best of the best.
Here are the contenders and our own
sometimes clashing, sometimes matching
picks for seven major categories:
DRAMA SERIES:
LYNN ELBER
Should win: “Game of Thrones.” An epic
series from epic novels. Drop the anti-fantasy
bias, Emmy.
Will win: “True Detective.” Such a bril-
liant miniseries. But we quibble, and voters
won’t.
FRAZIER MOORE
Should win: “True Detective.” Grim, grit-
ty, wickedly addictive.
Will win: “True Detective.” How could
Emmy snub this true masterpiece?
COMEDY SERIES:
ELBER
Should win: “Louie.” Honesty is the best
policy — and so brutally funny.
Will win: “Modern Family.” It’s big-heart-
ed and on broadcast TV. Old school wins one.
MOORE
Should win: “Louie.” Emmy needs to
kick the “Modern Family” habit.
Will win: “Veep.” Emmy will kick the
habit — by rewarding the wrong show.
ACTOR, DRAMA SERIES:
ELBER
Should win: Bryan Cranston, “Breaking
Bad.” His deserving swan song, powerful to
the end.
Will win: Matthew McConaughey.
Impeccable performance. Plus he seduced
Oscar, so how can Emmy resist?
MOORE
Should win: Matthew McConaughey,
“True Detective.” Edges out co-star Woody
Harrelson only because he got to play two
roles — not just one — brilliantly.
Will win: Jon Hamm, “Mad Men.”
Enhanced his character’s palette with new
colors this season. With time running out for
him, the Susan Lucci tease will end.
ACTRESS, DRAMA SERIES:
ELBER
Should win: Kerry Washington,
“Scandal.” Carries a mad, mad world on her
shoulders with aplomb.
Will win: Robin Wright, “House of Cards.”
Goes beat-for-beat with Kevin Spacey. That’s
impressive power.
MOORE
Should win: Kerry Washington,
“Scandal.” Fiery, fearsome, outrageous and
yet lovable.
Will win: Robin Wright, “House of
Cards.” She plays a chilly, not blazing, D.C.
powerbroker. Her cool will rule.
ACTOR, COMEDY SERIES:
ELBER
Should win: Don Cheadle, “House of
Lies.” Comedy is hard? Not in the hands of
this supremely versatile actor.
Will win: William H. Macy, “Shameless.”
Emmy feels better saluting his depraved dad
for comedy than drama.
MOORE
Should win: William H. Macy,
“Shameless.” A great actor in a go-for-broke
performance. Plus, a great head of hair!
Will win: Louis C.K., “Louie.” More
comedy, more soul than his rivals in this
unique artist’s portrait of himself.
ACTRESS, COMEDY SERIES:
ELBER
Should win: Amy Poehler, “Parks and
Recreation.” Wittily brings can-do perkiness
back to TV.
Will win: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, “Veep,”
HBO. But let’s get real: a me-first politician
rules again with voters.
MOORE
Should win: Amy Poehler, “Parks and
Recreation.” Her performance radiates sun-
shine even Emmy snubs can’t dim.
Will win: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, “Veep.”
But she’s pressing reasonable term limits for
Emmy’s largesse.
MINISERIES:
ELBER
Should win: “Fargo.” A glorious movie
made new by TV’s narrative form.
Will win: “Fargo.” Emmy won’t miss a
chance to remind all that drama’s heyday is
on the small screen.
MOORE
Should win: “Fargo.” A Tiffany egg of a
miniseries in its painstaking perfection. Plus
it’s bitterly hilarious.
Will win: “Fargo.” Emmy has moments
of myopia, but it ain’t blind.
And the Emmy winners are...? We’re happy to guess!

US hostage rescue attempt in Syria failed
BY JULIE PACE
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Barack
Obama sent special operations troops to
Syria this summer on a secret mission
to rescue American hostages, including
journalist James Foley, held by Islamic
State extremists, but they did not find
them, the administration disclosed
Wednesday.
Officials said the rescue mission was
authorized after intelligence agencies
believed they had identified the loca-
tion inside Syria where the hostages
were being held. But the several dozen
special operations forces dropped by air-
craft into Syria did not find them at that
location and engaged in a firefight with
Islamic State militants before departing,
killing several militants. No Americans
died but one sustained a minor injury
when an aircraft was hit.
“The U.S. government had what we
believed was sufficient intelligence, and
when the opportunity presented itself,
the president authorized the Department
of Defense to move aggressively to
recover our citizens,” said Lisa Monaco,
Obama’s top counterterrorism advis-
er, in a statement. “Unfortunately, that
mission was ultimately not successful
because the hostages were not present.”
The administration revealed the res-
cue operation a day after the militants
released a video showing the beheading
of Foley and threatened to kill a second
hostage, Steven Sotloff, if U.S. airstrikes
against the militants in Iraq continued.
Despite the militants’ threats, the
U.S. launched a new barrage of air-
strikes against Islamic State targets in
Syria Wednesday. The Obama adminis-
tration did not rule out the prospect of a
military operation in Syria to bring those
responsible for Foley’s death to justice.
The disclosure of the rescue mis-
sion marks the first time the U.S. has
revealed that American military person-
nel have been on the ground in Syria
since a bloody civil war there broke out
more than three years ago. Obama has
resisted calls to insert the U.S. military
in the middle of Syria’s war, a cautious
approach his critics say has allowed the
Islamic State to strengthen there and
make gains across the border in Iraq.
Caitlin Hayden, spokeswoman for the
White House National Security Council,
said the administration never intend-
ed to disclose the operation. But she
said the U.S. went public with mission
Wednesday because a number of media
outlets were preparing to report on the
operation and the administration “would
have no choice but to acknowledge it.”
In a statement Wednesday night,
Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John
Kirby said: “As we have said repeatedly,
the United States government is com-
mitted to the safety and well-being of its
citizens, particularly those suffering in
captivity. In this case, we put the best of
the United States military in harm’s way
to try and bring our citizens home.”
It’s unclear how many Americans
the special forces attempted to rescue in
Syria. While the officials who described
the mission would not provide an exact
number, other U.S. officials, who were
not authorized to speak publicly, have
said Foley was one of at least four
Americans held in Syria.
Like Foley, two others are believed
to have been kidnapped by the Islamic
State. The fourth, freelance journalist
Austin Tice, disappeared in Syria in
August 2012 and is believed to be in the
custody of government forces in Syria.
Administration officials would not
say specifically when or where the oper-
ation took place, citing the need to
protect operational details in order to
preserve the ability to carry out future
rescue missions. They did say that near-
ly every branch of the military was
involved and that the special forces on
the ground were supported from the air
by fixed wing, rotary and surveillance
aircraft.
Obama has authorized previous mili-
tary missions to rescue hostages. In
2009, Navy SEAL snipers carried out
a daring sea operation to rescue an
American ship captain held by Somali
pirates in a lifeboat. And in 2012, spe-
cial operations forces successfully res-
cued an American and Dutch aid worked
held in Somalia.

PUTTING YOUR
WORLD IN
PERSPECTIVE
Picture emerges
of officer in
Ferguson shooting
FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — A white police officer
whose shooting death of an unarmed black 18-year-old
ignited racial upheaval in a St. Louis suburb has been
characterized as either an aggressor whose deadly gunfire
constituted a daylight execution or a law enforcer wrongly
maligned for just doing his job.
An incomplete picture of Texas-born Ferguson officer
Darren Wilson has emerged since Aug. 9, when authori-
ties say the white six-year police veteran killed Michael
Brown during a confrontation in the predominantly black
city where all but three of the 53 police officers are white.
The Brown family’s attorneys have labeled Wilson as
a murderer, though the investigation continues and no
charges have been filed. The 28-year-old officer has gone
underground since the shooting, with relatives contacted
by The Associated Press refusing to reveal his whereabouts
or discuss the shooting or Wilson’s background.
But snippets of his life have emerged. His parents were
married only four years before divorcing in 1989 in Texas.
Court records say he divorced last November. His mother,
a convicted forger and alleged con artist, died 12 years
ago. Wilson got a commendation in February from the
Ferguson police force, four years into his job there.
An online fundraising drive on Wilson’s behalf as of
Thursday had drawn more than $77,000 in donations for
the tall, slender and blond-haired cop. And a longtime
friend — former high school classmate and hockey buddy
Jake Shepard — publicly has come to Wilson’s defense,
insisting in interviews that the shy Wilson would never
maliciously take a life and fears possible retribution.
Having talked to Wilson since the shooting, Shepard
said, “I think he’s kind of struggling a little bit, but I think
he’s doing OK.”
“He didn’t really want to talk much about it,” Shepard,
also 28, said of Brown’s death. “But I can tell you for sure
it was not racially motivated. He’s not the type of person
to harbor any hate for anybody. He was always nice,
respectable and well-mannered, a gentleman. He doesn’t
have anything bad to say about anybody, ever. He’s very
genuine.”
Similar depictions of Wilson, who has been on paid
administrative leave since Brown’s death, have come from
his boss, Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson.
