Thousands help Jennings celebrate 200
“The Huey was stressful for some of our veterans. Everything starts coming back. At the same time, it can be therapeutic. Those returning from Vietnam and even Korea were not welcomed like those who came home from past wars. There were a lot of tears. It was a sort of the welcome home they never got.”
— Jim Dickman, Bicentennial Committee member cased the collections of military memorabilia and historical items from the village. Eyes of Freedom at the fire station offered portraits of soldiers killed from May-August 2005. The portraits were painted by Anita Miller and many who made their way through the display commented on how they were drawn to the eyes of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. The youngest soldier was 18; the oldest, 33. “The mission of this memorial is get everyone in front of a painting. These soldiers are all from the Lima Co. from south Columbus but they represent all branches of our military, anyone who served and all who gave all for their country,” Mike Strahle said. Strahle travels with the exhibit and served with some of the soldiers whose portraits he sets up at each location. Many commented on the prevalent military theme and enjoyed learning about fighting forces from past to present. For others, the chance to spend time with loved ones was priceless. “That’s what it was all about for me,” Michelle Ricker said. “Family, friends and fun. Everything else was a bonus.”

Intense fighting rages in Syria
By HAMZA HENDAWI Associated Press BEIRUT — Syrian government forces heavily shelled the cities of Aleppo and Daraa and a suburb of Damascus on the second day of a major Muslim holiday today, killing up to 30 people, rights groups and activists said. There was a relative lull in the civil war on Sunday, the first of three days of the Eid al-Fitr holiday marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan. During the holiday, Muslims the world over celebrate by wearing new clothes, feasting on sumptuous food and visiting the graves of loved ones. The renewed fighting, however, showed President Bashar Assad’s regime is not letting up on its drive to quell the 18-month-old uprising out of respect for the occasion. Activists reported no signs of jubilation across the battered nation, with smallerthan-usual turnout for traditional prayers on the first day of the holiday and an air of gloom blanketing major cities. Adding to the despair, two main activist groups — The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees — said that 10 bodies of adult males shot execution style were found in the Qaboun district in the capital Damascus. The discovery of bodies in similar condition is not uncommon in Syria, particularly in the last few months as the uprising descended into a civil war with heavy sectarian undertones. Anti-regime activists say some 20,000 people have been killed since the revolt against Assad’s rule began in March 2011. Even the U.N.’s new envoy to Syria acknowledged on Sunday that he had no concrete ideas to end the conflict and that his mission would be difficult without a unified position by the U.N. Security

For The Record

Council. “The problem is not what I can do differently, it is how others are going to behave differently,” Lakhdar Brahimi told The Associated Press at his Paris home on Sunday. “If they spoke in one voice and were clearly supportive of what I will be doing on their behalf, that is what I need,” Brahimi said of what he seeks from the Security Council. “Without a unified voice from the Security Council, I think it will be difficult,” the former Algerian foreign minister added. Brahimi was named Friday to replace former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan as peace envoy to Syria. He served as a U.N. envoy in Afghanistan and Iraq and helped negotiate the end of Lebanon’s civil war as an Arab League envoy. He said Annan’s mission failed “because the international community was not as supportive as he needed them to be.” Russia and China have used their veto power at the Security Council to block strong Western- and Arabbacked action against the regime of Syria’s Assad. A Syrian foreign ministry source quoted by the official SANA news agency warned Brahimi that, for his mission to succeed, he must persuade countries backing the rebels to stop their support for the “armed terrorist bands” — the regime’s parlance for the rebels. Syria often singles out Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey as the rebels’ main backers. The rights groups and activists said the latest assaults by tanks and warplanes caused two houses to collapse in Aleppo, Syria’s largest city, killing at least 14 people. The buildings were in the Al-Sakhour and Qadi Askar neighborhoods, said activist Mohammed Saeed, reached by Skype inside the city.

STATE/LOCAL Records shed light on Ottawa, Findlay still waiting on help superintendent odyssey
FINDLAY (AP) — The scars from flooding that swamped this northwest Ohio town are still visible five years later. What’s more troubling for residents and local leaders is that solutions to stop it from happening again are still years away. Efforts to find ways to control flooding along the Blanchard River have been going on for several years, but the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says it’s going to take three more years to finish studying the watershed, determine flood solutions and seek federal funding. Already, nearly $4 million has been spent by city and county governments on flood-control efforts. Five major floods in the last five years have soaked the towns of Findlay and Ottawa. The worst damage came in August 2007 when flooding caused more than $100 million in damage in Findlay and an estimated $12 million in damage in Ottawa. “In our world, it’s taking way too long,” said Hancock County Engineer Steve Wilson, who works with county commissioners on flood-control efforts. Army Corps project manager Mike Pniewski said the time spent on this project was typical. By the end of the year they will be able to present flood control options that are feasible and cost-effective, he told The Courier (bit.ly/ Nxtx11). A final plan could be ready in 2015 for Congress, which has authority to allocate up to 65 percent of construction funding, Pniewski said. Officials say they understand the public is weary and sometimes leery of the studying and how long it’s taking to complete. Pniewski said it is necessary if the region has any chance of receiving federal funding for construction of a project that could cost tens of millions, or hundreds of millions, of dollars. In Ottawa, officials are considering reconstructing a bridge blamed for making flooding worse. “I think we’re getting closer to getting something substantial, to where we can say, ‘Yes, this is what we’ll be doing,”’ Ottawa Community Development Director Jeff Loehrke said.
By JULIE CARR SMYTH Associated Press COLUMBUS — Stan Heffner celebrated his new $180,000 private sector job over $10 cocktails, escargot, and oysters at San Antonio’s swanky Tost Bistro Bar in the spring of 2011. Heffner, who was at the time Ohio’s interim schools superintendent, dined with John Oswald, vice president of Educational Testing Service, a leading national test developer, and Oswald’s wife, Rosalie. The three were toasting Heffner’s future as senior leader for K-12 assessment at the company and his upcoming move to Texas. Heffner’s flight to Texas had been coordinated by his executive secretary at the Ohio Department of Education, Carolyn Jones, while she was on state time, according to a state investigative files reviewed by The Associated Press. Jones also coordinated other air travel related to his job hunt and sent paperwork using state equipment for his purchase of a Texas home, records show. Heffer gave up the new job when he was named Ohio’s permanent superintendent last

July but before that — and after he accepted the job with ETS — Heffner testified as interim superintendent on a bill before the Ohio Senate with the potential to benefit Educational Testing Service, according to a report issued by Inspector General Randall Meyer. Heffner issued a public apology and then resigned on Aug. 4 in the wake of Meyer’s findings. Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien is reviewing the case for potential legal violations, and the Ohio Board of Education is likely to name an interim replacement today. Ohio law prohibits state employees from using state time and equipment for personal business. Heffner told Meyer’s investigators during his interview that Jones, his executive secretary, “was very gracious and — on offering to be of help.” She was not a target of the probe. “The woman is incredible,” Heffner told investigators, noting that he would ask Jones to “sandwich into the schedule” a few days to look for a house and she would book Heffner’s flights using his personal credit card information.

Ohio U. students match drillers with services

ATHENS (AP) — Ohio University students have developed a database to link shale gas drillers with Ohio companies that can provide supplies and services. Students from used a $100,000 rural business enterprise grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to develop the project. The project focused on 12 eastern and southeastern Ohio counties, stretching from Athens County north to Tuscarawas and Jefferson counties — although the database also includes Ohio companies from outside that geographic area that could serve the oil and gas industry. “Suppliers in this sector are constantly trying to find ways to make connections and prove their capabilities,” Scott Miller, director of energy and environmental programs at the Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs, told The Athens Messenger. “On the other side, large oil and gas firms are trying to shore up their understanding of their Ohio-based supply networks.”

“Idleness is not doing nothing. Idleness is being free to do anything.”

Parties won’t get bold in platforms
By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER Associated Press WASHINGTON — Don’t look for many bold pronouncements when Republicans and Democrats adopt party platforms at their national conventions. Platforms are supposed to reflect the core values of the party and maybe provide some red meat to fire up the base, getting activists excited about supporting their presidential nominee. That’s what Democrats hope to do by embracing gay marriage in their platform, a position that President Barack Obama only recently has adopted. But no candidate wants to provide political fodder for opponents by including something in the platform that might turn off the sought-after undecided swing voters who could decide the election. “You don’t want a sentence or paragraph or phrase from your platform to be used against you in an ad or in a speech as a wedge issue,” said Linda P. Schacht, a veteran of many Democratic conventions who worked on Jimmy Carter’s campaigns in 1976 and 1980. That could present a challenge for Republican Mitt Romney, who will have to contend with supporters of Rep. Ron Paul at the GOP convention in Tampa, Fla., at month’s end. Paul’s supporters are determined to make their mark on the convention, and the Texas congressman has pointed to the platform as a good way to do it. “A lot of delegates who are pledged to vote for Romney are actually very strong supporters of ours and will be strongly supporting us when we want to put things into the platform to say, ‘Hey, we don’t need another war,”’ Paul said in a recent broadcast interview. “The Federal Reserve? Yes, we do need to audit the Fed and we ought to really cut spending.” The GOP platform committee meets today and Tuesday in Tampa, ahead of the start of the convention Aug. 27. Romney will have enough delegates to win any battle over the platform. But if Paul’s supporters aren’t placated, they could become an unwanted distraction, forcing public debates over foreign policy and the fight against terrorism at a time when Romney would rather focus on the struggling economy and his efforts to defeat Obama. Many of Paul’s libertarian views dovetail nicely with mainstream Republican ideas on limited government and low taxes. But Paul breaks with much of his party when he rails against American

Moderately confused

WASHINGTON (AP) — Just a month after Forbes Magazine recognized the Hispanic television market as “the next media jackpot,” some are complaining that Hispanic media aren’t getting a fair share of attention from the political realm. Randy Falco, president and chief executive of the Spanishlanguage network Univision, sent a letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates to complain about the lack of a debate tailored for Latino audiences. He asked for an additional debate to speak specifically to Hispanic voters and pitched Univision national news anchors Jorge Ramos and Maria Elena Salinas as moderators. The debate commission responded that it strongly believes its chosen moderators “see their assignment as representing all Americans in their choice of topics and questions.” The call for more political presence in Spanish-language television is not made in a vacuum. At stake is a rapidly expanding Hispanic TV market that Forbes estimated as worth $1 trillion. Javier Palomarez, president and CEO of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, announced this week that his group would track spending by political candidates and organizations on Spanish-language television, radio, and in print and online in 10 states through the November elections. A chamber analysis found that in 2010, spending on Spanishlanguage TV averaged about 3.9 percent, down slightly from just over 4 percent in 2008. The numbers stand in contrast to reports showing Univision outperforming most English-language networks in certain age groups and specific time slots. “We think the American public recognizes networks like Univision are very effective, but for some reason politicians never got the memo,” Palomarez said. The Hispanic Chamber represents 3.1 million businesses that generate more than $465 billion a year in sales, he said. The presidential campaigns have spent $350 million in nine highly competitive states for all types of commercials thus far, according to an analysis by The Associated Press. Those states are Colorado, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Florida. With the presidential race expected to be close, Latino turnout could help decide the outcome in those states. In June, Obama was outspending Romney in advertising directed at Spanishspeaking Hispanics. His campaign had spent $1.7 million since mid-April on ads in Spanish in Florida, Nevada and Colorado, according to SMG-Delta, a media firm that tracks campaign advertising. The Obama campaign declined to speak on the record about its Spanish-language media spending, but sent Web links to a number of Spanishand English-language sites geared toward Hispanics. “For over a year, we have used all the tools at our disposal from innovative advertising to grassroots organizing in the Latino community to promote the president’s record,” spokeswoman Gabriela Domenzain said in an email.

Obama renews call for aid to halt teacher layoffs
By JIM KUHNHENN Associated Press WASHINGTON — Tight school budgets have meant fewer teachers, larger classes and shorter school years, according to a White House report that President Barack Obama says shows the need for Congress to pass his proposals to help states reduce teacher layoffs. The study concluded that 300,000 education jobs have been lost since the official end of the recession in 2009 and that student-to-teacher ratios have increased by 4.6 percent from 2008 to 2010 and are on track to grow more. “If we want America to lead in the 21st century, nothing is more important than giving everyone the best education possible — from the day they start preschool to the day they start their career,” Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday. For Obama, the report offered a fresh chance to push a nearly year-old jobs plan he proposed that provided money for states to keep teachers, police officers and firefighters on the job. The proposal included payroll tax cuts and jobless insurance provisions that Congress has passed. But other proposals in the plan have run aground amid mostly Republican opposition. Obama is pressing Congress to act, part of an election-year strategy to portray Republicans as obstructionists. Republicans have proposed their own measures, but they have not advanced in the Democratic-controlled Senate. The partisanship has created a stalemate that Obama has tried to exploit during his re-election campaign. While the private sector has continued to create jobs, though at a sluggish pace, the public sector has been posting monthly job losses, contributing to an 8.3 percent unemployment rate. Obama’s plan includes $25 billion in aid to prevent layoffs of teacher and pay for other education jobs. That is part of a broader effort to retain state and local government jobs. The White House report was not a product of the Education Department. It was prepared by the president’s Council of Economic Advisers, his Domestic Policy Council and his National Economic Council. According to the report, average student-to-teacher ratios reached a low of 15.3 in 2008 but climbed to 16 students per teacher in 2010,

intervention abroad, calling the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan illegal because Congress never passed a declaration of war. Paul also calls for abolishing the Federal Reserve and repealing the Patriot Act, legislation enacted after the Sept. 11 attacks to give law enforcement more tools to fight terrorism. Don’t look for any of those positions in this year’s Republican platform. But party leaders could make some concessions, perhaps agreeing to a plank that calls for an audit of the Fed or a broad statement that calls for respecting civil liberties in the fight against terrorism. The Democratic platform committee met a week ago and approved the platform that will be presented at the party’s national convention in Charlotte, N.C. The platform endorses same-sex marriage for the first time and calls for the repeal of a federal law that denies federal marriage benefits to same-sex couples. The same-sex marriage plank represents a milestone for advocates who have watched the platform’s position on gay rights gradually evolve. Democrats first mentioned gay rights in their 1980 platform, when the party quietly added two words, “sexual orientation,” to the list of reasons why people should not be discriminated against.

Social Security fixable; changes politically tough
By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER Associated Press WASHINGTON — Despite Social Security’s long-term problems, the massive retirement and disability program could be preserved for generations to come with modest but politically difficult changes to benefits or taxes, or a combination of both. Some options could affect people quickly, such as increasing payroll taxes or reducing annual cost-ofliving adjustments for those who already get benefits. Others options, such as gradually raising the retirement age, wouldn’t be felt for years but would affect millions of younger workers. All of the options carry political risks because they have the potential to affect nearly every U.S. family while raising the ire of powerful interest groups. But the sooner changes are made, the more subtle they can be because they can be phased in slowly. Each year lawmakers wait, Social Security’s financial problems loom larger and the need for bigger changes becomes greater, according to an analysis by The Associated Press. “Certainly, in the current environment, it would be very difficult to get changes made,” Social Security’s commissioner, Michael J. Astrue, said in an interview. “It doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t try. And sometimes when you try hard things, surprising things happen.” Social Security is ensnared in the same debate over taxes and spending that has gripped Washington for years. Liberal advocates and some Democrats say benefit cuts should be off the table. Conservative activists and some Republicans say tax increases are out of the question. Others, including a deficit commission created by President Barack Obama in 2010, have called for a combination of tax increases and cuts to future benefits, including raising the retirement age again. Janice Durflinger of Lincoln, Neb., is still working at age 76, running computer software programs for a bank. Still, she worries that a higher retirement age would be tough on people with more physically demanding jobs. “No matter how much you exercise, age takes its toll,” Durflinger said. But at 20, Jared Macher of Manalapan, N.J., worries that Social Security won’t be around for his generation without major changes. “My generation sees Social Security as a tax, not an investment,” Macher said. Social Security’s finances

equal to levels in 2000. The report acknowledges that typical class sizes are actually larger than those ratios because the measures include teachers for students with disabilities and other special teachers who are excluded from class size counts. It said that in many districts, class size is much higher because of steeper cuts in education budgets. The report says that since the fall of 2010, local governments have cut about 150,000 more education jobs. In the address, Obama said a House Republican budget would make conditions worse because it would cut further into education spending to help pay for new tax cuts for the wealthy. “That’s backwards,” he said. “That’s wrong. That plan doesn’t invest in our future; it undercuts our future.” That’s an argument Obama has been making on the campaign trail against Republican rival Mitt Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, the author of the House budget. In the Republican address, Rep. Vicky Hartzler of Missouri criticized Democrats and the president for Congress’ failure to restore disaster programs for farmers suffering from the worst drought in 25 years.

are being hit by a wave of demographics as millions of baby boomers reach retirement, leaving relatively fewer workers behind to pay into the system. About 56 million people get benefits today; that is projected to grow to 91 million in 2035. For nearly three decades Social Security produced big surpluses, collecting more in taxes from workers than it paid in benefits to retirees, disabled workers, spouses and children. But Social Security trustees project that the surplus, now valued at $2.7 trillion, will be gone in 2033. At that point, Social Security would only collect enough tax revenue each year to pay about 75 percent of benefits, unless Congress acts. After the surplus is spent, the gap between scheduled benefits and projected tax revenue is big. Social Security uses a 75-year window to forecast its finances, so the projections cover the life expectancy of every worker paying into the system. Once Social Security’s surplus is gone, the program is scheduled to pay out $134 trillion more in benefits than it will collect in taxes over the next 75 years, according to data from the agency. Adjusted for inflation, that’s $30.5 trillion in 2012 dollars.

Big Green dominates season-opener
By BOB WEBER The Delphos Herald [email protected] OTTOVILLE — Saturday afternoon brought together two boys soccer teams with as much of a difference in rosters as you will see all year at Ottoville Soccer Stadium. The final score was also as lopsided as the rosters with the Big Green coming away with a 16-0 win in both team’s season-openers. The Spencerville Bearcats, a co-ed team coached by Josh Hobbs, started one senior, two juniors, one sophomore and seven freshmen. The Ottoville Big Green, coached by Eric Gerker, started eight seniors, one junior and two sophomores. The inexperience showed quickly as the Big Green scored early (47 seconds into the contest) with a goal from senior Anthony Eickholt. Two minutes later — at the 37:21 mark — Eickholt connected on his second goal of the contest. The Big Green continued to substitute and play its bench as much as possible but it didn’t matter as they stretched their lead out to 12-0 at the end of the first half. Senior Dylan Klima and sophomore Brandt Landin scored three goals each. Senior Austin Schroeder, juniors Alex Horstman and Lucus Maag and freshman Jared Fanning (the first goal of his high school career) chipped in with a goal apiece. The Bearcats managed to slow down the scoring express of the Big Green in the second half as the home team countered with four more additional goals to account for the final margin. All three Big Green freshmen on the roster: Fanning (his second), Drew Williams, Rudy Wenzlick and Jared Fanning; all scored in second half, the last two the first goal of their high school careers. Senior Cory Fischer also found the back of the net in

the second half. The statistics, to go along with the final score, indicated the story of the match. The Big Green had 39 shots ongoal, while the Bearcats only had one shot on-goal for the game (David Wisher at the 30:25 mark of the second half). The Big Green will travel to Van Wert to take on the Cougars at 5 p.m. tonight. The Bearcats will next play Thursday at Elida Middle School in the Elida Fall Soccer Classic.

The Associated Press NL ST. LOUIS — Pedro Alvarez homered in the 19th inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates won the longest game in the majors this season (6:07), outlasting the St. Louis Cardinals 6-3 Sunday. Both teams scored a run in the 17th and each club used eight pitchers. Alvarez hit his 23rd homer, a solo shot off Barret Browning (1-3). Andrew McCutchen added a 2-run single later in the inning. Wandy Rodriguez (8-12), who was set to start for the Pirates tonight at San Diego, got the win with two scoreless innings of relief. About 9,000 fans from the original crowd of more than 43,000 stayed until the end. This was the longest game by innings in the big leagues this year. DIAMONDBACKS 8, ASTROS 1 HOUSTON — The Houston Astros lost in their first game under interim manager Tony DeFrancesco as Aaron Hill homered twice to give the Arizona Diamondbacks an 8-1 win and a sweep. DeFrancesco was the manager at Triple-A Oklahoma City before being promoted. The Astros, with the worst record in the majors, fired Brad Mills late Saturday night. Hill led off a 5-run fourth with a shot off Armando Galarraga (0-4) and added another solo homer in the

eighth. Hill also doubled. Ian Kennedy (11-10) went six innings. NATIONALS 5, METS 2 WASHINGTON — Bryce Harper homered and tripled and Danny Espinosa also homered to lift the Washington Nationals over the New York Mets. Gio Gonzalez (16-6) pitched into the sixth inning, allowing one run and seven hits. Tyler Clippard pitched a perfect ninth for his 27th save in 31 chances. Jeremy Hefner (2-5) took the loss for the Mets. DODGERS 5, BRAVES 0 ATLANTA — Chad Billingsley combined with two relievers on a 3-hitter to win his sixth straight start, Luis Cruz homered for the second game in a row and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat Atlanta. Mark Ellis drove in four runs, three with a basesloaded double in the ninth. Cruz homered deep into the left-field seats in the fifth off Mike Minor (6-10) for a 1-0 lead. Billingsley (10-9) gave up three hits in seven innings, striking out four and walk-

ing two. REDS 5, CUBS 4 CINCINNATI — Xavier Paul led off the ninth inning with a pinch-hit triple and Ryan Hanigan followed with a single, lifting the Cincinnati Reds over the Chicago Cubs. Paul lined the first pitch from Shawn Camp (3-6) over first base into the right-field corner. Hanigan hit the next pitch to left-center over the drawn-in Chicago outfield. Aroldis Chapman (5-4) struck out two in the ninth. Brett Jackson doubled with one out but was caught trying to steal third. PADRES 7, GIANTS 1 SAN DIEGO — Clayton Richard pitched eight sparkling innings, Cameron Maybin drove in three runs and the San Diego Padres snapped a 5-game losing streak by beating San Francisco. Richard (10-12) was 0-3 with a 7.64 ERA in his three previous starts against San Francisco this season. Maybin tied his career high with four hits, including a 2-run single in the first inning when the Padres scored three times against Ryan Vogelsong (10-7). ROCKIES 3, MARLINS 2 DENVER — Jordan Pacheco homered among his three hits as the banged-up Colorado Rockies slowed down Giancarlo Stanton and beat Miami. Stanton went homerless for the first time in seven games at Coors Field. On Saturday night, he became the first player in big-league history to homer in his first six games in a particular park, citing the Elias Sports Bureau. Rockies outfielder Eric Young Jr. left after one inning with a strain in his left ribcage and shortstop Josh Rutledge exited in the fifth with tightness in his left thigh. Adam Ottavino (5-1) tossed three scoreless innings for the win and Rafael Betancourt pitched the ninth for his 23rd save. Josh Johnson (7-10) lost his third consecutive start. PHILLIES 8, BREWERS 0 MILWAUKEE — Kyle Kendrick pitched 3-hit ball for eight innings and the Philadelphia Phillies beat Milwaukee after waiting out a rare rain delay at Miller Park. The game was held up for 7 minutes when showers popped up in the first inning with the retractable roof still open. It takes about 10 minutes for the roof to fully shut and the game was delayed with the Brewers batting in the bottom half when the rain became harder. Kendrick (6-9) struck out seven and walked one. Domonic Brown drove in four runs and scored twice. Michael Martinez homered off Randy Wolf (3-10).

AL ANAHEIM, Calif. — Matt Moore shrugged off home runs by Mike Trout and Albert Pujols to win his fourth straight decision and the Tampa Bay Rays completed a 4-game sweep of the fading Los Angeles Angels with an 8-3 victory on Sunday. Tampa Bay tagged Zack Greinke (1-2) and outscored the Angels 37-14 in the series. Ryan Roberts hit a 2-run homer and Matt Joyce and Carlos Pena also drove in two runs apiece for the Rays. Moore (10-7) allowed two runs and five hits in 6 1/3 innings. ORIOLES 7, TIGERS 5 DETROIT — Nate McLouth hit a go-ahead, 2-run triple as Baltimore rallied for the win. McLouth, Nick Markakis and Mark Reynolds each had two hits for the Orioles. Chris Davis homered for the second straight game and J.J. Hardy had a 2-run double. Jhonny Peralta hit a 3-run homer for the Tigers, who led 5-0 after the first inning. Doug Fister (7-8) allowed seven runs and eight hits in 3 2/3 innings. Wei-Yin Chen (12-7) managed to last five innings despite the rocky start for Baltimore. Jim Johnson worked the ninth for his 37th save in 40 chances. YANKEES 4, RED SOX 1 NEW YORK — Ichiro Suzuki homered twice and Hiroki Kuroda pitched eight innings of 4-hit ball to lead New York past Boston. Derek Jeter had three hits and scored twice for the Yankees. Josh Beckett (5-11) dropped to 0-4 in his past six outings overall. Kuroda (12-8), the 37-yearold right-hander, struck out four and walked none while reaching 100 pitches for the 11th straight start. His only blemish was Adrian Gonzalez’s homer in the seventh. Rafael Soriano worked a 1-hit ninth for his 31st save in 33 tries. ROYALS 5, WHITE SOX 2 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jeremy Guthrie flirted with a no-hitter, Salvador Perez drove in three runs and Kansas City completed a 3-game series sweep of the AL Central leaders. Paul Konerko reached on an infield single with two out in the seventh for Chicago’s first hit. Shortstop Alcides Escobar fielded Konerko’s grounder on the outfield grass and his 1-hop throw was dropped by first baseman Eric Hosmer. Official scorer Del Black ruled it a hit and the Kauffman Stadium crowd of 22,401 loudly booed when the “H” was flashed on the scoreboard. Guthrie allowed two unearned runs and three hits in 7 2/3 innings. Greg Holland (6-3) retired the final four batters to pick up the victory. Perez hit a tie-breaking RBI single off Jesse Crain (2-2) in the eighth inning. RANGERS 11, BLUE JAYS 2 TORONTO — Michael Young hit a 3-run homer and a 2-run double to power (See MLB page 7)

The Associated Press GREENSBORO, N.C. — Sergio Garcia had the lead at 15 under through four holes Sunday when final-round play in the Wyndham Championship was suspended for the day because of heavy rain. Tim Clark, Jason Dufner and Bud Cauley were 14 under through varying stages of their rounds and 38 players — half the field — were still on the course when play was stopped. After waiting roughly 2 hours, 20 minutes, officials decided to bring them back to Sedgefield Country Club at 9 a.m. today to crown a champion and figure out who qualifies for the playoffs and who doesn’t. It will be the first Monday finish in Greensboro since 1983. It’s been four years since Garcia’s last PGA Tour victory; he’ll have to wait another day to see if he can finish it off. SAFEWAY CLASSIC NORTH PLAINS, Ore. — Japan’s Mika Miyazato won the Safeway Classic for her first victory on the LPGA Tour, finishing with a 2-under 70 to beat Brittany Lincicome and Inbee Park by two strokes. The 22-year-old Miyazato finished at 13-under 203 in her wire-to-victory on Pumpkin Ridge’s Ghost Creek Course. She shared the first-round lead and had a 2-shot advantage after the second. Lincicome shot 67 and Park had a 70. The 22-year-old Miyazato, in her fourth season on the LPGA Tour, is the sixth first-time winner this year. She broke through after a pair second-place ties in June. South Korea’s Haeji Kang had a 66 — the best round of the day, to tie for fourth at 10 under with Cristie Kerr (70) and So Yeon Ryu (71). Sydnee Michaels, the first-round co-leader, was four strokes back after a 70. Michelle Wie had her first top-10 finish of the season, shooting a 69 to finish

eighth at 8 under. DICK’S SPORTING GOODS OPEN ENDICOTT, N.Y. — Willie Wood won the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open for his first Champions Tour title, beating Michael Allen with a par on the first hole of a playoff. Wood made a long birdie putt on the final hole of regulation to match Allen, a 2-time winner this year, at 13-under 203 on the En-Joie Golf Course. Wood closed with a 66 and Allen shot 66. In the playoff on the par-4 18th hole, Allen drove left in the water, essentially ending his chances. Woods earned $270,000 for the victory, his first since he won the 1996 Deposit Guaranty Golf Classic for his lone PGA Tour title. Joey Sindelar, Kenny Perry, Tom Lehman and Brad Faxon finished a stroke back. Sindelar had a 66, Perry and Lehman shot 67 and Faxon had a 71. U.S. AMATEUR CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE, Colo. — Steve Fox made an 18-foot birdie putt on the 37th hole, completing a remarkable underdog run to win the U.S. Amateur at Cherry Hills. The 21-year-old Fox, from Hendersonville, Tenn., was 2-down with two holes to play against Michael Weaver of Fresno, Calif., before rallying to force the extra hole. Fox, a senior at TennesseeChattanooga, made an 11-foot birdie putt to win the 35th hole. Still with a 1-up advantage, Weaver, a 21-year-old redshirt junior at the University of California, needed to make a 5-foot par putt on the 36th hole at the 18th green to secure the win, but it lipped out, extending the match. Both players earned spots in the U.S. Open next year and will likely receive invitations to the Masters — both if still amateurs.

Limaland

Hannagan, Valenti rule Sprints and Stocks, Babcock makes it 2 in a row in Modifieds
The Delphos Herald LIMA — The 2012 racing season at Limaland Motorsports Park still has two weeks of competition remaining to decide the division champions and additional feature winners. A theme for this season has already stamped itself as having dominating performances in both the Thunderstocks and Sprint car fields. The Elwer Fence Sprints has seen defending track champion Kyle Sauder move back into the lead in the championship points. Sauder’s move has been a result of his recent success and Randy Hannagan having competed at the famed Knoxville, IA, Nationals event for the past few weeks. Sauder took full advantage of his pole starting position in the 25-lap feature. The veteran rocketed to the lead and quickly occupied his preferred high line on the 1/4-mile oval. He led Dallas Hewitt, Hud Horton and Hannagan around through a pair of cautions during the opening 10 laps. At lap 12, Hannagan had moved into the runner-up slot and the defining moment of the event came when Sauder himself made contact with the wall in turn two. The damage forced Sauder to the pit area and gave Hannagan the lead for the race restart on lap 16. Points runner-up Hud Horton and Hewitt gave chase but never really threatened Hannagan as he rolled to an impressive sixth win of the 2012 season. “I was just sitting there in the cat-bird seat trying to figure out where I need to be on the track,” recalled Hannagan in the winner’s circle. “When the 7K car (Sauder) got into the wall, it gave me an opening. I want to thank Charley Fisher for this motor. I went to Knoxville and hurt the thing. Charley and the guys came through in a big way. They just finished preparing this car after Knoxville today.” The K&N Modifieds began the evening with former champions Terry Hull and Todd Sherman tied for the points lead. Fellow Indiana resident Jake Reufer was third in the standings. Reufer had car troubles in his heat race and was never a factor on this night. When the 20-lap feature began, outside front row starter Jeff Babcock, in only his second start of the season, bolted to the front and was on his way to a second consecutive triumph in the division. Pole starter Jerry Bowersock was in hot pursuit but the experienced Babcock was strong and fast racing up on the cushion. Bowersock started to work the middle racing groove and moving inside of Babcock but was unable to execute a pass. Hull and Sherman had two very different outcomes. Hull left the race early with mechanical problems, while Sherman stayed in the hunt following Babcock and Bowersock across the finish line posting a third-place result. “Even with my good starting spot, I was worried about the quality of the field,” said Babcock, now 2-for-2 in Modified features. “Anytime you can hang on to win with guys like Todd Sherman and Jerry Bowersock, it’s a good night.” Nowhere has individual dominance been more evident this season than in the Budweiser Thunderstocks, where either Shawn Valenti or Jeff Koz have captured every feature race contested. This night would prove to be more of the same as Fostoria driver Valenti took the lead from the pole and cruised to an amazing seventh season win. Koz and defending track champion Tony Anderson were Valenti’s biggest challengers during the 15-lap Budweiser Thunderstocks feature but neither could sustain momentum to execute a pass for the lead. “I’ve been on a roll all season and winning keeps your confidence up,” stated Valenti. “Big thanks to my car owners (the Babcocks) for putting me in their car.” Limaland Motorsports Park returns to action on Friday with Fan Appreciation Night, featuring the visiting Tuff Trucks, the K&N UMP Modifieds and the Budweiser Thunderstocks.

‘Expendables 2’ brawls to No. 1 with $28.8M
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sylvester Stallone and his beefy buddies have muscled their way to the top of the weekend box office. Stallone’s action hero roundup “The Expendables 2” debuted at No. 1 with $28.8 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. That’s down from the $34.8 million start for “The Expendables” two years ago. The Lionsgate sequel elbowed out another action tale as Universal’s “The Bourne Legacy” fell to No. 2 in its second weekend with $17 million. That was a steep 55 percent drop from its $38.1 million opening weekend, though the movie’s domestic total climbed to a solid $69.6 million. Three other wide releases opened to modest business. Focus Features’ animated comedy “ParaNorman, about a boy leading the fight against zombies that rise from the grave, was No. 3 with $14 million. Sony’s music remake “Sparkle,” featuring “American Idol” winner Jordin Sparks and Whitney Houston, was No. 5 with $12 million. The update of the 1976 movie centers on three sisters who form a singing group in the late 1960s. Disney’s family fantasy “The Odd Life of Timothy Green” was No. 7 with $10.9 million. The movie stars Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton as a childless couple who become instant parents to a boy that magically appears in their lives. The newcomers and holdovers combined to lift Hollywood’s overall business. Domestic revenues totaled $139 million, up 12 percent from the same weekend last year, when “The Help” led with $20 million, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com. Business had been down the previous

three weekends this summer, which has fallen short of the record-setting business many studio executives were predicting at the start of the season. Since the first weekend of May, revenues total $3.9 billion, down 5 percent from last summer’s, when Hollywood finished with an all-time high of $4.4 billion for the season, according to Hollywood.com. This summer delivered huge hits such as “The Avengers” with $617.6 million domestically and “The Dark Knight Rises,” which took in $11.1 million this weekend to cross the $400 million mark and edge past “The Hunger Games” to become the year’s second-biggest hit. But other releases such as “Dark Shadows,” “Battleship,” “The Watch” and “Total Recall” were duds that failed to live up to the summer’s hype.

Tomorrow’s Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
TUESDAY, AUGUST 21, 2012 You could do exceptionally well in the year ahead in a joint venture that has a long-term objective. The problem is that it might severely test your patience from time to time, but it will be worth your perseverance. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Chores assigned to you won’t be as burdensome as you might suppose. A little positive thinking on your behalf could considerably brighten your outlook. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -There is much more to life than merely its material aspects. If you allow yourself to dwell on what you don’t have, chances are you’ll miss out on the finer things available to you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Doing things others think much too difficult to manage will provide you with enormous gratification. You won’t retreat just because of some challenging developments. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Make plans to get out with some of your friends and keep yourself busy. If you become too introspective or totally withdrawn, there’s a good chance that depression will set in. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be hopeful and positive, but also realistic -- especially if you’re involved in some type of new endeavor. You can’t be too conservative when making projections. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You must not slack off, no matter how many difficult obstacles confront you in your pursuit of an important objective. Victory is achievable when you’re tenacious. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Being too stiff-necked or uncompromising will severely limit your opportunities. Keep an open mind, and be tolerant with those who aren’t as smart as you are. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be exceptionally careful about volunteering to do something for another. There’s a strong possibility that you could be getting in way over your head. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It’s a waste of time to attempt to win the support of someone who diametrically opposes your position. Work around this individual and seek out your allies elsewhere. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- “A day’s work for a day’s pay” is the motto that you should be most aware of. There aren’t any free rides coming your way, but hard work will pay off well. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Because you like people so much, usually you do your very best to maintain a harmonious relationship with everybody. Today, you might have to deal with someone you’re not ready to forgive. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Faulty methods or procedures will thwart you in your quest for accomplishment. The reason will be obvious to everybody, but you’re unlikely to take any advice. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, 2012 Your instincts and common sense will be greatly heightened in the year ahead. If you capitalize on most of the opportunities that are offered you, this could be a banner year. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Take positive measures to fulfill your aspirations. You’re presently in a brief cycle where your hopes have better than usual chances of being realized. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- One of your greatest assets is the ability to take the ideas of others and expand upon them in ways that could prove beneficial to everyone involved. Don’t waste this gift. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Attitude is always extremely important, but a happy face can be more rewarding than usual today. If you think and behave like a winner, positive results are likely. Don’t doubt yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Lady Luck is likely to single you out in helping you reach a financial or career objective. She’ll chart your path and open the doors, but the rest will be up to you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You could be in for a wonderful surprise when a situation that you’ve been fretting about turns out to be a boom rather than a bust. Don’t doubt yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- There’s no need to be resistant toward change, even if it’s being imposed upon you by outside forces. Lady Luck herself is engineering this intimidating shift. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You could derive some extra benefits by treating business associates as if they were friends or comrades. A personal touch can be quite powerful. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be on alert for an opportune development involving your career. That big break you’ve been longing for might be ushered in through a set of fortunate circumstances. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Someone you know socially could be a big help when it comes to a nettlesome business issue. Listen carefully, and treat any tips or advice they have to offer very seriously. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Provided you are prepared to follow an important endeavor to its conclusion, this could be an extremely productive day. The results you desire are indicated. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -An idea or concept that you’ve been mulling over has greater potential than you may realize. Talk it over with a trusted colleague who is as farsighted as you are. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If your judgment tells you that the odds appear to be in your favor, make a move to better your financial situation. Sometimes it pays to take a calculated risk.
