The Southeast Ohio Solidarity Rally will take place from noon - 6 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 1 at the Gallia County Junior Fair Grounds and includes some familiar speakers, including former Gov. Ted Strickland and Tim Burga, president of the Ohio AFL -CIO. According to the Southeast Ohio Solidarity Committee, a group described as “concerned citizens and union members from throughout the Southeast Ohio region who wish to INDEX 2 SECTIONS — 12 PAGES Classifieds B3-4 Comics B5 Editorials A4 Sports B Section © 2011 Ohio Valley Publishing Co. repeal SB 5,” the rally is “bipartisan.” The rally is sponsored by not only the committee but We Are Ohio, Ohio AFL-CIO, Southeast Ohio Central Labor Council, Southeast Ohio Area Labor Federation, Southeast Ohio Educators Association, and Ohio Civil Service Employees Association District 8. According to Liz Shaw of Meigs County, cochair of the rally steering committee: “Gallia County was chosen because of the overwhelming response of citizens of Southeast Ohio who signed petitions. Each county was required to produce signatures representing three percent of the voter turnout of 2011. All counties got at least six percent. So when you put them in order based on those percentages, Appalachian Ohio—and many Appalachian counties are in Southeast Ohio— had 21 counties in the top 30 in the state.” Connie Wehrkamp, spokesperson for the proSB5 group Building a Better Ohio, said her organization will not be doing any sort of counter rally at the event but efforts are being ramped up across the state to make sure “Ohioans understand Issue 2 is a pro taxpayer issue.” Wehrkamp went on to say if SB5 is not repealed, it will “impact our local governments, families and businesses in a positive way to improve Ohio.” Of course those organizing the rally in October have a completely different opinion. An incomplete list of speakers for the rally, in addition to Strickland and Burga, are Charlie Wilson former US Representative, 6th District, Jennifer Brunner, former Ohio Secretary of State, Debbie Phillips (D), Ohio Representative, 92nd District, Matt Szollosi (D), Ohio Representative, 49th District, Ohio Senator Joe Schiavoni (D), 33rd District, etc. Activities at the rally will include live music by the Boys of the Hock, the Magic Mama Band, and the Cincinnati Emerald Society Police/ Fire Pipes & Drums. Shaw said “food will be provided by members of area Democratic parties and concerned Republicans working to repeal Senate Bill 5.” There will also be a KidZone sponsored by Southeast Ohio Education Association, Music and art transforms farm field into fun place BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH HOEFLICH@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM Craftsman Andy Gedeon beats one of the drums he manufactures in his Athens Djembe shop.

HARRISONVILLE — The weather was perfect, the music was great, the artisan displays were exceptional and thousands of people from across the country came for a weekend of free family fun. It was the sixth annual Foothills Blues and Arts Festival staged in an open field on the Sheets family farm in rural Meigs County. Sixteen bands on two stages, electric and acoustic, kept the music going, beginning Friday evening and continuing Saturday from noon to nearly midnight. On both days the midway was filled with numerous artisans and craftsmen displaying and demonstrating their wares – everything ranging from wooden bowls to weaving rag rugs, from handcrafted primitive furniture to handmade jewelry. There were over 700 campers on site with many others pitching tents in the open area above the spacious parking lots which were filled with vehicles both days.

Recently, the Pomeroy Exxon contacted the department after receiving a counterfeit $10 bill. The customer who allegedly passed the bill was described as a male, 6’2”, heavy set and overweight, baggy shirt, bald with a cleanshaven face, dark complexion, driving a dark vehicle. Proffitt said his department later confirmed the bill was fake. The incident remains under investigation. Proffitt also stated Donald G. Hysell, age and address unreported, told the department he cashed a check at a Middleport bank and received $50 bills from the cashier. Hysell then said he went to the Par Mar Convenience Store in Pomeroy to buy fuel with the bills when the cashier at the store said the $50 bill he was trying to use was counterfeit. The $50 bill was then given to the Middleport Police Department which then involved the Pomeroy Police Department. Proffitt said he talked to the regional manager of the bank in question but the bank said it has a strict policy about returning money which has already left the bank. The incident remains under investigation. Joyce Carter of Lincoln Heights, report- ed someone entered her home and stole several pieces of silverware valued at around $500.

MIDDLEPORT — Months after Middleport Village Council approved the use of underspeed vehicles on most village streets, and Sheriff Robert Beegle began inspecting them, only a handful are operating on public roadways — at least legally. Beegle said Monday many do not understand what the inspection allows and what it does not. Middleport is the only village in Meigs County to allow the vehicles to be operated within its boundaries, and one of just a handful in the state. After months of considering whether to make them legal on village streets, the county’s most populous town approved an ordinance earlier this summer to allow the vehicles to operate in town. They must, however, be inspected, titled, licensed and insured. Mayor Michael Gerlach said only one resident in town is known to be operating his USV on the streets of Middleport, so far. Beegle said he has completed inspections on only three USV’s since the state first allowed him to inspect them. He said the inspection process is still misunderstood by some. The inspection for safety merely allows the vehicles to be titled through the county, and thereafter registered. Just because an underspeed vehicle passes a safety inspection, it is still not legal to drive unless it’s being operated in an area where they have been legislated legal. Village council in Middleport studied the matter for months, defined the requirements for safety and equipment necessary for operation of the vehicles and defined an area in which they are permitted. Pomeroy’s council later considered allowing the vehicles here, as well, but See USV, A5 �Tuesday, August 30, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page A2 Irene likely to lead to higher insurance premiums WASHINGTON (AP) — The $7 billion in estimated losses from Hurricane Irene compound the vast damage caused by weather in the United States this year. Yet despite billions they’ve paid out for floods, tornadoes and earthquakes, big insurance companies can expect another profitable year. And their customers can expect higher premiums. The stocks of major insurers shot up on Monday as investors celebrated Irene’s less-thanexpected damage. The storm didn’t even cause most analysts to adjust their profit estimates for insurers. In part, that’s because insurance companies have been raising premiums this year, especially for customers in high-risk areas. Homeowner and auto policies cost 5 to 10 percent more than they did a year ago, according to research by Gregory Locraft, an industry analyst with Morgan Stanley. The damage from Irene and other disasters means that property insurance premiums will likely rise across the board into 2012, Locraft said. “Irene is just another log on the fire,” he said. The storm seems unlikely to hurt the overall U.S. economy. Analysts agree that damage from Irene will likely run less than $10 billion — a tiny fraction of the $14 trillion U.S. economy. Reconstruction might even strengthen areas hit hard by Irene, analysts said. Rebuilding homes, repairing cars and fixing streets and bridges should help boost those local economies late this year and early next year, they said. Irene is the 10th U.S. weather disaster this year to have caused more than $1 billion in damage, the National Weather Service says — the most for any year on record dating back 30 years. And 2011 is hardly over. Excluding Irene, this year’s natural catastrophes had caused about $18 billion in damage to insured properties, according to the Insurance Information Institute. Irene will add $3 billion to $5 billion, said Robert Hartwig, an economist and president of the group. In a normal year, industry losses typically total $15 billion to $20 billion, said Robert Litan, an industry expert and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank. And the peak hurricane season is only about half over. Another reason insurers are expected to raise premiums is that reinsurance companies are set to boost their rates Jan 1. Reinsurance is coverage that insurance companies buy to cover their potential losses from catastrophes. This year, reinsurance hasn’t offset insurance companies’ costs. Reinsurance policies don’t kick in until a single disaster’s costs to insurers top $10 billion. When the billions are spread over numerous disasters, as has happened this year, insurers — and their customers — must absorb the costs. That won’t stop reinsurance companies from hiking their rates — costs that will be passed on to homeowners. Insurance companies that cover major disasters are set up to absorb big costs. They manage investment portfolios that produce relatively stable income. Most of their policies never result in claims. In those cases, the premiums are pure profit. And when a string of catastrophes hits, as in 2011, they can raise the premiums they charge homeowners. Aside from higher costs, finding coverage at all will become harder for people in areas where insurers are sensitive to risks from catastrophes. Few insurers, for example, will cover homes on fault lines or near the Gulf Coast, said Robert Rusbuldt, CEO of the Independent Insurance Brokers and Agents of America. “When it comes to property insurance, it’s all about location,” Rusbuldt said. Disasters overseas, as in Japan, have compounded the financial burdens for insurers, many of which have affiliates abroad. Hard-hit regions, such as the North Carolina coast, will suffer from lost tourism, in addition to the hurricane’s damage and destruction. The national economy, though, will scarcely feel the impact of Irene. “Without minimizing the pain and suffering for the people affected, from an economic perspective, this is a fairly small event,” said Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS. The economic stimulus from the storm will be about double the cost of its damages, Litan said. Yet the benefit will be small compared with the size of the national economy in light of the relatively minor damage Irene caused. Adjustments to growth forecasts at IHS and Moody’s Analytics because of Irene are unlikely, economists from those firms said. Rebuilding will be concentrated in relatively small areas and in industries such as construction. Litan suggested it could spark a “short-term boom for some construction workers and contractors have been out of work.” That’s most likely in states such as Vermont and New Hampshire. Their economies are small enough to benefit from disaster-related money. New York and New Jersey, by contrast, are too economically vast to benefit much, Litan said. Nationally, most economists expect an increase in temporary layoffs and job losses. The economy would likely regain any drop in output or spending by year’s end, they said. Insurers’ losses from Irene are limited in part because much of the damage was from flooding and storm surges. Standard homeowner’s policies don’t cover such damage. Wind damage is typically covered by standard homeowner insurance. But wind speeds weren’t strong enough to cause major structural damage, said Rod Fox, CEO of TigerRisk Partners — especially by the time Irene reached New York. Still, rates are increasing. One reason is that people are willing to pay more after witnessing disasters like those that struck Japan, Missouri and North Carolina this year. Gadhafi's wife, 3 children flee to Algeria TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Moammar Gadhafi's wife and three of his children fled Libya to neighboring Algeria on Monday, firm evidence that the longtime leader has lost his grip on the country. Gadhafi's whereabouts were still unknown and rebels are worried that if he remains in Libya, it will stoke more violence. In Washington, the Obama administration said it has no indication Gadhafi has left the country. Rebels also said one of Gadhafi's other sons, elite military commander Khamis, was probably killed in battle. The Algerian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that Gadhafi's wife Safia, his sons Hannibal and Mohammed, and his daughter Aisha entered the country across the land border. It said Algerian authorities have informed the United Nations Secretary General, the president of the U.N. Security Council, and the head of the Libyan rebels transitional leadership council. Ahmed Jibril, an aide to rebel National Transitional Council head Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, said officials would "demand that Algerian authorities hand them over to Libya to be tried before Libyan courts." Gadhafi's children played important roles in Libya's military and economic life. Hannibal headed the maritime transport company; Mohammed the national Olympic committee. Aisha, a lawyer, helped in the defense of toppled Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in the trial that led to his hanging. Ahmed Bani, military spokesman of the council, said he was not surprised to hear Algeria had welcomed Gadhafi's relatives. Throughout the sixmonth Libyan uprising, rebels have accused Algeria of providing Gadhafi with mercenaries to repress the revolt. Over the weekend, the Egyptian news agency MENA, quoting unidentified rebel fighters, had reported that six armored Mercedes sedans, possibly carrying Gadhafi's sons or other top regime figures, had crossed the border at the southwestern Libyan town of Ghadamis into Algeria. Algeria's Foreign Ministry had denied that report. Bani said Monday that rebel forces may have killed Khamis Gadhafi in a clash Saturday. Rebel clashed with a military convoy in the town of Tarhouna, 50 miles (80 kilometers) southeast of Tripoli, destroying two vehicles in the convoy. The bodies in the cars were burned beyond recognition, he said, but captured soldiers said they were Khamis Gadhafi's bodyguards. "We are sure he is dead," Col. Boujela Issawi, the rebel command of Tarhouna, told AP. But then he cast some doubt, saying it was possible Gadhafi's son was pulled alive from the car and taken to Bani Walid, a contested interior area. Col. Abdullah Hussein, a former pilot in the Libyan airforce who is part of the rebels' command center in Tarhouna, said that "we heard from Bani Walid that he (Khamis) died in the hospital there." Asked how they knew this, since Bani Walid is still under regime control, he said: "We have some people there." It was possible this was psychological warfare. The rebels claimed to have captured Gadhafi's son Seif al-Islam, a key figure, only to have him turn up the next day and talk to reporters. Rebel leaders have started to set up a new government in the capital Tripoli after their fighters drove Gadhafi's defenders out over the past week. Gadhafi's whereabouts are still unknown, however, and people close to him have claimed he is still in the country and leading a fight to hold onto power. "Gadhafi is still capable of doing something awful in the last moments," rebel leader Abdul-Jalil told NATO officials earlier Monday in Qatar. The focus of concern is Gadhafi's hometown of Sirte, his last major stronghold in the country. The town, 250 miles east of Tripoli, is heavily militarized and shows no signs yet of surrendering even though rebels say they are trying to negotiate a bloodless takeover. There was some fighting Monday on the eastern and western approaches to Sirte. Some have speculated that Gadhafi and other senior regime figures may have fled there. Obama appoints Krueger economic chair WASHINGTON (AP) — Facing a public deeply dissatisfied with his handling of the economy, President Barack Obama on Monday tapped a prominent labor economist to join his cadre of advisers and help steer a fall jobs agenda that will be critical to the president's re-election bid. In nominating Alan Krueger as chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, Obama gains an economist with expertise in the labor market and unemployment, a key drag on the U.S. economy and Obama's presidency. Krueger, a former Treasury Department official and Princeton University economist, has advocated for hiring tax credits for businesses and increased government spending on infrastructure, two programs Obama aides are considering proposing this fall. His appointment also caps a wholesale makeover of Obama's economic leadership team during the past year. Several high-ranking advisers, including Lawrence Summers, Christina Romer and Austan Goolsbee, have all left the administration, leaving Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner as the only top official remaining from the president's original economic team. Obama has often reached within his administration's ranks to fill vacant posts on the eco- nomic team, and Krueger is no exception. Though he spent last year at Princeton, he served as assistant secretary for economic policy at the Treasury Department during the first two years of Obama's administration. Gregory Mankiw, a former CEA chairman under President George W. Bush and long-time acquaintance of Krueger, said Obama's new nominee has a reputation as an analytic, data-driven economist, not as a champion for many specific policy initiatives. While Mankiw said he believes Krueger is highly-qualified for the post, he doesn't expect him to push the administration in any new directions when it comes to tackling the nation's eco- nomic and unemployment woes. "This is more of a continuity appointment rather than a move-in-a-newdirection appointment," said Mankiw, now an economics professor at Harvard University. "I don't think the president wanted a change. He's keeping the basic structure of the team in place." White House spokesman Jay Carney brushed off questions Monday about whether Krueger would bring any fresh job creation ideas to the White House, saying only that the president's nominee was the best person for the job. "He's an excellent economist whose particular skills are more relevant than ever in the eco- nomic environment we find ourselves in," Carney said. "His expertise in the labor market is particularly relevant as we focus on the need to grow the economy and increase job creation." Obama announced Krueger's nomination at a Rose Garden ceremony Monday morning and said he would rely on the economist for unvarnished guidance, not partisan political advice. "That's more important than ever right now," Obama said. "We need folks in Washington to make decisions based on what's best for the country, not what's best for any political party or special interest." If confirmed by the Senate, Krueger will join a White House grappling for ways to boost sluggish economic growth and bring down an unemployment rate stuck stubbornly above 9 percent. Republican presidential hopefuls are traveling around the country, campaigning hard for the GOP nomination by focusing squarely on Obama's handling of the economy. And an already anxious public is growingly increasingly frustrated. A new Associated PressGfK poll shows that 63 percent of Americans disapprove of Obama's handling of the economy. Approval of his economic performance stands at just 36 percent, his worst approval rating on the issue in AP-GfK polling. Vermont battles floods in Irene’s aftermath MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — New England towns battled floods of historic proportions, utility crews struggled to restore power to 5 million people along the East Coast, and big-city commuters coped with transitsystem disruptions Monday as the rainy remnants of Hurricane Irene finally spun into Canada. The death toll climbed to 35 people in 10 states after a number of bodies were pulled from the floodwaters in the Northeast. The storm never became the big-city nightmare forecasters and public officials had warned about. But it toppled trees and power lines and washed away roads and bridges — some of them well inland from the coastal areas that bore the brunt of Irene’s winds. In Vermont and upstate New York, normally placid streams turned into raging torrents tumbling with tree limbs, cars and parts of bridges. Hundreds of Vermonters were told to leave their homes after Irene dumped several inches of rain on the landlocked state. Gov. Peter Shumlin called it the worst flooding in a century, and the state was declared a federal disaster area. Communities were cut off, roads washed out, and at least a dozen bridges lost, including at least three historic covered bridges. “We prepared for the worst and we got the worst in central and southern Vermont,” Shumlin said Monday. “We have extraordinary infrastructure damage.” Video posted on Facebook showed a 141year-old covered bridge in Rockingham, Vt., swept away by the roiling, muddy Williams River. In another video, an empty car somersaulted down a river in Bennington. “It’s pretty fierce. I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Michelle Guevin, Clark’s Jewelry Store Your Professional Full Service Jewelry Store Specializing In: Custom Design • Jewelry & Watch Repair Insurance Appraisals 133 Court Street, Pomeroy 740-992-2054 who spoke from a Brattleboro restaurant after leaving her home in nearby Newfane. Officials at one point thought they might have to flood the state capital, Montpelier, to relieve pressure on a dam. But by Monday morning that threat had eased. President Barack Obama, speaking from the Rose Garden, pledged the federal government would be doing everything in its power to ensure people have what they need to get back on their feet, saying it will take time to recover from the storm. �The Daily Sentinel BY THE BEND A S K D R . B RO T H E R S Overanalyzing makes her miserable Dear Dr. Brothers: I caught my husband of 20 years talking to a woman on the computer. He thought I was asleep, and I heard him laughing. I tiptoed downstairs and saw him in his skivvies in front of a camera, and a woman in her nightgown was on the screen. He turned it off when I came in, and said he was just talking. He said he would never meet anyone in real life, and he's innocent. Really? — J.M. Dear J.M.: Your husband could be innocent, technically. Maybe he was just talking. Maybe the woman was just an online friend. But she could have been anything else — a sex worker, a person he's in love with or an online friend with benefits. And if he is claiming that he is innocent because he hasn't met this woman or anyone else in real life, well, that is a matter of debate all over the land. Virtual cheating is something everyone has an opinion about. And his behavior could fall a lot closer to cheating than just thinking about it — the webcam makes a lot of things possible online that you probably don't even want to think about. But there's another possibility — that your husband may actually be meeting this woman or others. According to a new study in the journal Sexuality & Culture, the Internet often is just the first step in the infidelity dance, the venue of choice to meet people with whom to cheat. Because of our nature as social beings, many surveyed were seen as typical: going to the Internet not as a final destination, but as a virtual bar where they can pick up someone and arrange a reallife meeting. So I think that although your husband claims he is innocent, you have a lot to talk about. He got caught chatting — but is there more to the story? Now is the time to sort things out in a calm and rational way, and maybe you can salvage your formerly honest relationship. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: Every time there is a decision to be made, I have a hard time making it on the basis of a few simple thoughts. It seems that no matter Dr. Joyce Brothers what I have on my plate, I need to examine all the options from every which way before I can even think of making a decision. Or if there is a discussion with someone at work or one of my friends, I have to overanalyze what they mean until I am driving myself crazy. Is too much of an analytical mind-set really a bad thing? — L.N. Dear L.N.: It's not a bad thing to have an analytical mind. As you know, the kind of brain that can pick things apart and see each and every facet of any argument is not something all of us possess. Some pick the first answer that seems good enough. Others arrive at their decisions by pure chance, while many others just follow their instincts or emotions. You could practice trying each of these approaches, or even a combination of several, if you'd like to try to change your natural response to things. Although being analytical is a good thing in moderation, I understand how you can drive yourself nuts at times. And changing your mind-set is messing with the very nature of how you think. Not an easy task. When you find yourself overanalyzing, you can try to stop in your tracks and ask how a friend or colleague would approach the facts at hand, and try to imitate his or her decisiveness. Or you can set a deadline for yourself — say, you will think about this issue only for another 60 seconds before setting it aside. Sometimes people who overanalyze are trying to maintain control of their thought processes because they are overly anxious or depressed. If you think this might be the case, you should consult a professional.

Teams are limited to four members and all members involved with preparation must have proof of a current tuberculosis test. Verification of the test must be brought to the event or sent along with an advanced entry form. According to the rules, listed by Belva Workman, co-chairman, no ingredients may be precooked or treated in any way prior to the preparation period with the exception of canned or bottled. Meat may be precut or ground, but not treated in any way. No use of home canned or other prepared foods are allowed under health department rules. Each team must cook a minimum of three quarts of chili, one of which will be judged. More than the minimum is suggested so that samples can be sold to benefit next year's event. Coleman-type stoves, barbecue grills and campfires with a bottom may be used for cooking. There are a few electrical hookups, but an advance request for electric must be made for arrangement to occur, Workman said. All ingredients, except perishable products and ingredients to preserve secret recipes must be displayed. Prizes will be awarded in two classes, corporate and individual, and will be announced at a later date. Entry fee is $10 in advance and after Sept.10 the entry fee will be $15.

So does an extra layer of softness on her bed. Edward has bad teeth from years of vigorous chewing. He drinks calorie-laden shakes to keep his weight up. Then there’s Toni, who has had special handles installed in her home so she won’t fall. All are senior citizens living in central Ohio with typical senior-citizen ailments. They all live at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. Ginger is a grizzly bear, Edward is a moose, and Toni is a gorilla. “We’ve always had old animals, but the sheer number of them is greater now,” zoo spokeswoman Patty Peters said. Thanks to better care throughout their lives and into their twilight years, zoo animals are living longer, said Dusty Lombardi, director of living collections for the Columbus Zoo. The Internet has enabled zoos worldwide to easily share information about their animals’ diets, exercise and health problems, Lombardi said. Local “people specialists” apply their expertise on human health to the animals. Veterinarians collect data from zoos and share information with other zoos and with scientists studying animals in the wild. Zoo animals have many of the same agingrelated aches and pains as humans. Arthritis and damaged teeth are the most common, Lombardi said. In the gorilla habitat, extra hand-holds have been added to the climbing equipment so the four older animals can continue to exercise despite their achy joints and muscles. Their indoor habitat has heated floors in cooler months and plenty of bedding to soften their sleep time, and they’re given stool softeners, vitamins and arthritis medicine. In the moose and reindeer areas, keepers strip leaves off their stems so Edward the moose, 13, and Wilma the reindeer, 15, can chew them with their worn-down teeth. Wilma also gets shredded hay, and Edward receives a special concoction called “moose boost” to provide extra calories. “You have to think of their needs, check them more often and monitor them more closely,” Lombardi said. Assistant curator Harry Peachey remembers how Columbus zookeepers helped Clyde the rhinoceros become the oldest living rhino on record — 49 — until he died in 2000. They put his hay through a leaf shredder twice so he could chew it and provided a 12inch-thick mattress for him to sleep on to ease sores on his hide. That experience taught keepers the value of keeping their rhinos’ teeth cleaner. Now, they brush 22-year-old Kulinda Kifaru’s teeth regularly in her middle age. In the wild, animals slowed by aging-related health conditions often face death through starvation or deadly predator attacks, said Don Moore, an associate director of the Smithsonian National Zoological Park in Washington. “We take extraordinary steps in the zoo world” to care for animals throughout their lives, he said. The National Zoo’s veterinary-residency program now has classes on caring for geriatric animals, and zookeepers try to enhance animals’ lives rather than just help them survive. Most geriatric zoo animals stay on display, he said, but he has moved a few to what he calls an “old folks’ home” on the grounds but out of public sight. Columbus zookeepers try not to do that, especially with animals such as gorillas that are used to living in a social group, Lombardi said. Even though zoo animals are living longer, their deaths still come as a shock, Peters said. When Coco the Asian bull elephant died unexpectedly in February, hundreds posted memories of him on Facebook. Coco was 40, old for a male elephant, Peachey said. Pathology reports indicate that Coco died of “exertional myopathy,” which means his body mass damaged his organs after he fell during the night and could not get up. “But we don’t know why he was down,” Peachey said. “He hadn’t been sick and didn’t have problems you’d expect to see with a geriatric animal.” Why Not MOW with the BEST MADE IN THE USA?

Gone are the social lives filled with close but mostly childless friends, and a biological clock that seemed on snooze. For Gillian Caldwell and Louis Spitzer, these things disappeared along with the towers, when terror struck home on a September morning 10 years ago. Now, a decade later in the lives of this couple, there is a Queen Anne Victorian in a close-knit Maryland suburb with a yard big enough for a dog and seven chickens. And days filled with soccer, karate and school. And lives keenly focused on family and, most of all, love. And, of course, there are Tess and Finley, their children, who embody a series of life changes brought on by a tragedy that moved their parents to reprioritize and adjust. “It was like a total reset,” Caldwell says of the 9/11 attacks, an experience so traumatizing and disorienting that she and Spitzer chose to dramatically transform themselves — and the direction of their lives. It gave her “a clarity about who and how I wanted to be in the world.” Americans still think of 9/11 as the day that “changed everything,” but how many of us did it change in any sort of lasting way? For a time we may have felt more patriotic and united, more vulnerable and wary, more appreciative of life, more concerned over the state of the world, but then we settled in to our “new normal” and went back to routines modified for us — not by us. When asked how the attacks changed us, one commenter on a Yahoo message board replied: “9/11 didn't change my life, it changed the world.” But some did set out to change their own lives. Some moved. Quit jobs. Started foundations. Found God. In Texas, an estranged daughter reconnected with her parents. In Rhode Island, a high school junior traded medical school for the Air Force Academy. In Pennsylvania, a shy hardware store owner volunteered to retell, week after week, the story of one of the doomed flights. And in a brownstone in Brooklyn, literally within days of the attacks, a New York couple decided to have the children they knew they wanted one day, because 9/11 made “one day” suddenly seem too far off. It was a life-is-too-short moment for us all, a shock to the system that forced us to stop, take stock and think about what mattered most. After 9/11, many needed to act on what they were feeling by adapting their lives in big ways and small. Some wanted something good to come from evil, or needed to change to help themselves heal, or simply felt a responsibility to rethink the direction of their lives. “I felt the need to earn the rest of my life by serving,” says Nicholas Mercurio, who was a high school junior in Providence, R.I., on his way from home room to physics when a classmate ran up to him and said, “They blew up the World Trade Center.” Just 16 years old, Mercurio had known exactly what he wanted to do in life — until that moment. Before 9/11, he planned to become a cardiovascular surgeon and was readying college applications to Harvard and Columbia. After 9/11, he was consumed with thoughts of service and sacrifice and what it all meant. Watching a football game on television, he saw the men and women in military uniforms on the field, and felt a conviction he'd never had about becoming a doctor. He decided, “I could continue on the current path of my life and not sacrifice anything and have a pretty good life. But what would that feel like?” He didn't know anyone killed in the attacks, but that didn't matter. After speaking with his parents and his grandfather, a World War II vet, Mercurio said goodbye to Harvard and Columbia and applied to three of the military service academies. Ten years later, he is a first lieutenant in the Air Force who returned this summer from a yearlong deployment in Afghanistan. At 26, he is no longer that bookish kid who loved microscopes and mock trials. Mercurio changed when he rerouted the course of his life. “I'm more confident. I carry myself differently. I became a much more self-assured person,” he says. He's seen things men his age, or any, just shouldn't — and yet he has no regrets.

I don't really know what to say.” But Mercurio knows how that makes him feel. “I'm proud.” It's difficult to know just how common, or rare, stories like his are. Five years after the terrorist attacks, a USA Today/Gallup poll found that only one American in five felt they'd permanently changed their lives because of the events of that day. Yet they are out there, these tales of transformation — on the Internet, in local newspapers, in a new book focused on the very idea of post-9/11 change. Wendy Stark Healy wrote “Life is Too Short: Stories of Transformation and Renewal after 9/11” after being inspired by a pastor who spent five months volunteering at ground zero and later became a social worker and a counselor after seeking counseling himself to heal from the horrors he'd seen. The book features the Rev. Tom Taylor and 12 other people who changed direction after 9/11. There's the financial consultant who became CEO of the September 11th Families' Association. The Wall Street trader who, after losing 17 friends on 9/11, moved his family to a coastal community in South Carolina for a more serene life. The fashion designer who became a disaster response expert after distributing supplies in the days after 9/11. The aspiring actress who became a Buddhist and a spiritual healer. “People said here's the 'aha' moment. I don't even know if it happened that way for some of these folks, but they all had a little caveat,” says Healy, recalling one person who told her, “I no longer take hellos and goodbyes for granted, because when I say goodbye to somebody I realize they may not come back.” Healy herself was inspired to write this, her first book, because of the attacks and the many people she met afterward when her own life changed. She went from writing annual company reports to working for Lutheran Disaster Response of New York. “It's like something stirred in us,” she says. “How can we not be changed?” Susan Russo of Pearland, Texas, was moved to recon- nect with her parents, from whom she'd been estranged for years after a sibling died. Now, she calls them every day and visits twice a year. “I told myself I wanted to know my mom and dad before they died,” says the 53-year-old administrative assistant. Sept. 11, she says, “completely changed my life.” Karl Glessner, who lives near the field in Shanksville, Pa., where United Flight 93 went down, was prompted to carve out two hours every Saturday to serve as a volunteer at the memorial. The 60year-old hardware store owner tries to answer whatever questions visitors might have. “They want to know what I experienced when the plane crashed,” he says. “I'm getting used to it by now. ... For a shy, quiet fellow like me it wasn't the easiest thing in the world.” “I'm changed,” he says, “but I was kind of dragged along kicking and screaming. ... Nobody here wanted it.” Still, Glessner won't quit the work. Though hard, “it's one of the best ... and most rewarding things I do.” Lawrence Calhoun, a professor of psychology at The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, co-wrote a book about what he calls post-traumatic growth, examining how and why some people seek out change in the wake of tragedy. A trauma such as 9/11 challenges our core beliefs, he says, sometimes leading individuals to confront questions not previously examined. “Most of us do not go around thinking, 'What am I going to do for the rest of my life?'” says Calhoun. But a “confrontation with mortality or potential major loss,” as on 9/11, “may represent a place where people focus on fundamental priorities.” As Healy said of the individuals she wrote about: “These people ... got the chance to change their lives. Three thousand people never got that chance. When you think of things that way, it's easy to make a change.” They'd returned to New York from a vacation in Italy on Sept. 10, 2001 — two 30somethings eager to get back to careers they both loved. Louis Spitzer was the director of research and development for an upstart wireless technology company; Gillian Caldwell was executive director of WITNESS, a nonprofit organization started by musician Peter Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Gabriel to use film and video to bring attention to human rights abuses. They had moved in together a year earlier, committed to building a life and, eventually, raising a family. But the couple were like many in thinking, “Now's just not the right time for kids. We have so much still to do professionally.” They worried about the financial stress that comes with having children, and the commitment. Says Spitzer: “We couldn't envision carving more space out for a family at that time.” On Sept. 11, he was at a Starbucks on the Upper West Side when the first plane struck. She exited the subway in Tribeca, only blocks from the World Trade Center, and saw the gaping hole. When the second plane hit and the towers fell, Caldwell stood on the street still, able to think only: “My God. Everybody in those buildings is dead.” Ten years later, just saying the words brings her to tears. The couple became part of the alternative universe that was New York, and America, in the days that followed. Everyone was traumatized, mourning, questioning. Some were angry. Some paralyzed. Spitzer and Caldwell took a half-glass-full approach, talking about whether something good — hopeful, even — could come from the death and destruction. Their conversations were vague, at first. Then, a week after the attacks, Caldwell went out for drinks with a friend whose best friend's brother had been killed in the towers. They talked for hours about the state of the world. The next morning, Caldwell awoke with a feeling of absolute clarity. She went to Spitzer and asked, “What are we waiting for?” Only a few weeks later, she felt a strange pain in her abdomen, took a home pregnancy test while Spitzer slept — and then hurried to wake him up. Tess arrived on June 23, 2002, a child born not of some newfound sense of mortality but rather a choice by two individuals to put love and family first in their post-9/11 lives, no matter how drastically that altered their world before that horrible day. “In response to something like this, you can either say to yourself, 'Who would want to bring a child into a world like this? What a terrible place to be.' Or you can say, 'Well, the only thing that really matters is love,'” says Caldwell. It was the first of many transformative decisions. Spitzer became a stay-athome father. Meanwhile, Caldwell's focus at WITNESS suddenly included finding someone to succeed her as executive director. In 2005 their second child, a boy named Finley, was born. Two years later, the couple moved to the Washington, D.C., area when Caldwell went to work for a group lobbying for solutions to climate change, a move driven by her desire to leave a better world for her children. Today, the family lives in Takoma Park, Md., where Caldwell, 45, works from home running her own consulting business. His world view reshaped by both 9/11 and his role as a father, Spitzer, 48, works at a nonprofit fighting to end extreme poverty. Finley is a sandy blond 7year-old, full of questions. Now 9, Tess loves hip hop dancing, gymnastics and martial arts. She also plans to start her own soccer team that she will, of course, coach. “She's very entrepreneurial,” her mother says, laughing. It's hard for Caldwell and Spitzer to imagine how different their lives might have been if not for 9/11 and the choices they made because of it. Maybe they would, one day, have had children. Or maybe they wouldn't have been able to conceive by the time they got around to it. Maybe they would have adopted. What they know is they wouldn't have Tess and Finley. They have told Tess the story of how she came to be, but it's a story they know they will tell again when she's older. There's no way to think about how their daughter was conceived without thinking about Sept. 11. It's part of the narrative of all their lives now. Still, the narrative isn't that Tess was the consequence of hate or evil, or the aftereffect of some unthinkable act. Rather, says Caldwell, she is the product of one beautiful decision that came from all of that, the choice “to give love and life another chance.” When the time comes to recount the story once more, that is what she'll tell her little girl.

Liberal group continues attack on Ohio jobs board COLUMBUS — (AP) A liberal policy group is raising questions about political ties between Gov. John Kasich (KAY'-sik) and groups receiving high-tech grants through the state's new semi-private job creation board. ProgressOhio on Monday said Kasich and other Republicans received donations from affiliates of three of six groups handling state economic development grants on behalf of the JobsOhio board. The six local economic development groups have been tapped to share $24 million. ProgressOhio Executive Director Brian Rothenberg disseminated state records that show affiliates of the groups contributed more than $60,000 to Kasich and legislative Republicans since 2007. The money came through executives, member businesses or their Political Action Committees. Representatives of Kasich's administration and the state Department of Development say there is no connection between contributions and the groups receiving taxpayer money.

The local newspaper reports the three schools in northwest Ohio are being ordered to close because of consistent poor academic performance. The schools are Lighthouse Academy in Akron, and Marcus Garvey Academy and Elite Academy of the Arts in Cleveland. Charter schools are privately owned and publicly funded and must have an authorized sponsor to operate in Ohio. They can be closed for repeatedly receiving the state's lowest rating and failing to meet other expectations for academic improvement.

Republican state Rep. Marlene Anielski has launched a contest she calls "There Ought to Be a Law." She wants constituents from her suburban Cleveland district to send her proposals for legislation to be introduced at the Statehouse. Anielski says she'll invite the person with the best idea to lunch and present a flag flown over the state Capitol building. The proposal may be turned into a bill for the fall legislative session. In a news release announcing the contest, Anielski said last week she thought it was a good way to get the people in her district more directly involved in what's happening in Columbus. The deadline for entering is Sept. 30. Submitted Photo Steven Mahr and Shannon Brown reported on their Buckeye Boys State experiences at Drew Webster Post 39, American Legion Post, meeting. They are pictured here with Mick Williams, BBS chairman, left, and John Hood, post commander right. POMEROY – Shannon Brown and Steven Mahr, who attended Buckeye Boys State at Bowling Green University under sponsorship of Drew Webster Post 39, American Legion, reported on their experiences there at a recent post meeting. Four other Boy State participants from here, Blake Crow, Austin King, Zachary Sheets, and Zach Sayre, were unable to attend the Legion meeting due to prior commitments. Farmers Bank and Peoples Bank both contributed toward the expense of sending the Meigs youths to Buckeye Boys State. Mick Williams extended appreciation to the two banks and also gave special recog- nition to the Eighth District Posts who participated in the event, noting the value they received in experiencing the actual working of government. Attending the 2011 Buckeye Boys State were Shannon Brown, son of Jeff and Mary Brown of Racine, a student at Eastern High School; Steven Mahr, son of Ryan and Carol Mahr of Rutland; Blake Crown, son of Rick and Cathy Crow of Syracuse; Austin King, son of Lea Ann King, Pomeroy; Zachary Sheets, son of Todd and Tami Sheets, Middleport; Zach Sayre, son of Shane and Jennifer Sayre of Rutland, all Meigs High School students. Law You Can Use Ohio union law ballot issue faces Monday deadline COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Monday is the last chance for the repeal question on Ohio's contentious collective bargaining law to be removed from fall ballots. Otherwise, voters can expect to see the referendum when they vote Nov. 8. Passing the deadline wouldn't prevent Republican leaders and opponents of the law from reaching a deal later to change or toss out the legislation, though that's seen as unlikely. Signed by Gov. John Kasich in March, the law bans public employees from striking and restricts collective bargaining rights for more than 350,000 public workers. The group We Are Ohio — which opposes the law — has until midnight Monday to request the issue be taken off the ballot. A spokeswoman says the only way for its removal is for legislators to repeal the law themselves. National Labor Relations Board Weighs in on Social Media Ohio teachers Q: What is social media? A: Social media is the common name for interactive engagement with others on the Internet. Most commonly, social media refers to posts on Facebook, comments on profiles on such websites as Facebook, Linked1n, and blogs (including blog entries), and tweets on Twitter. Q: What is the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)? A: The NLRB is federal government agency tasked with enforcing the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). The NLRA is a set of laws that, among other things, grants certain rights to employees, such as the right to engage in "protected concerted activity" a legal term used to loosely describe actions taken by two or more individuals relating to the terms and conditions of their employment. For example, many employers have a rule prohibiting employees from discussing their wages with other employees. Since wages qualify as a term or condition of employment, however, the discussion of wages is a protected concerted activity. Therefore, an employer cannot lawfully prohibit employees from discussing wages. Q: How does the NLR,4 apply to social media? A: The rise in popularity of Facebook and Twitter has resulted in an unprecedented level of public discourse on employees' terms and conditions of employment. Employees now frequently air their grievances publically on the Internet via social media to their friends and followers, whereas before such grievances were more likely to be discussed with others only over the phone or in person. Q: Can an employer control what is said about its company? A: Employers generally do not like employees to make public what employers consider private matters, and the lines are often blurred with respect to whether such shared information is confidential or proprietary. The NLRB has, however, taken the position that the NLRA protects employees who publically state that they do not like their job, their boss, their pay, their workplace, or their coworkers. According to the NLRB, these are all terms and conditions of employment. Although such comments may be protected concerted activity, they still may be libelous or slanderous, or they may violate employment agreements, expose trade secrets, or otherwise be unlawful. Q: Can employers discipline or terminate employeesfor wing social media to communicate? A: No; employers cannot generally discipline or terminate employees for simply using social media, although employers can limit the time and place of such activity. For example, an employer can prohibit employees from using social media during working time. Discipline and termination may be proper for the inappropriate use of social media described above. Q : Can employers enforce policies preventing employees ftom making disparaging remarks about the employer? A: Many employee handbooks have policies stating that employees cannot make disparaging remarks about the employer. Until the proliferation of social media, these policies were routinely followed and rarely challenged, in part because there were fewer avenues of communication for venting grievances. Through social media, employees can now easily reach large audiences with their complaints, and employers are enforcing non-disparagement policies. Whether such enforcement withstands scrutiny from the NLRB and courts is yet to be decided. Q: What is the NLRB doing to protect employee we ofsocial media? A: The NLRB is investigating allegations made by employees who claim to have suffered an adverse employment action (discipline, demotion, reassignment or termination) because they used social media to discuss the terms or conditions of their employment. Q: What happens ifthe NLRB determines that an employee has been illegally disciplined or fired for using social media to discuss terms or conditions of employment? A: The typical remedy for wrongfully disciplining, demoting, or reassigning an employee is to make that employee "whole." For example, an employer might make the employee "whole" by removing the discipline from the employee's personnel file or placing the employee back into the position held before the demotion or reassignment. Employees who are wrongfully terminated generally are offered reinstatement to their old positions. Of course, back pay is standard, as is posting a notice in the workplace reminding employees of their rights under the NLRA.

Cremeens Funeral Home 823 Elm St., Racine 740-949-3210 Funeral, Cremation and Pre Arrangement Services Jay Cremeens, Nathan King - Directors CLEVELAND (AP) — Some Ohio teachers are missing the first days of classes in August to avoid penalties to their retirement payments. The newspaper in Cleveland reports state law requires full-time teachers who retire and are rehired to forfeit retirement payments for the month if they return less than 60 days after retiring. If an employee works in June, the Ohio's State Teacher Retirement System considers the retirement date to be July. The newspaper said retirement system officials could not provide a statewide count of teachers rehired after retiring. Many of those teachers are "double dippers" who receive retirement payments and district paychecks. The retirement system's rule leaves substitutes covering some rehired teachers' classes at the start of the year. Insurers drive stocks higher; Dow gains 254 NEW YORK (AP) — So much for Irene. Stocks rose broadly Monday, led by insurance companies, after it became clear that the tropical storm caused far less damage than many had feared. The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 254 points. Trading volume, or the number of shares bought and sold, was the lowest since July 26 as many traders struggled to get to work in Lower Manhattan or were still on vacation. Insurance stocks rose sharply as analysts lowered their estimates of how much damage the storm would cause. Allstate Corp. rose 8.5 percent, Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. rose 13 percent, and Travelers Cos. Inc. rose 5.1 percent. Insurance and banking stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500 rose 4.2 percent, the most of the 10 company groups that make up the index. Kinetic Analysis Corp., a consulting firm, sharply lowered its estimate of storm damage from $20 billion late Thursday to $7 billion late Sunday as the storm weakened. Of that amount, insurers would probably have to cover up to $3 billion, Kinetic said. That's less than the $6 billion the industry paid out after Hurricane Isabel struck the region in 2003. "The U.S. came more or less unscathed through the hurricane," said Kim Caughey Forrest, equity research analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group. "The cleanup isn't going to cost as much as anticipated." Utilities companies also rose after it became clear their storm-related expenses would be lower than earlier estimates. Duke Energy Corp., which serves customers in the Carolinas, rose 1.1 percent. New York's biggest utility company, Consolidated Edison Inc., rose 1.3 percent. COUPON Free Pedometer with new or transferred prescriptions.

Broughton Memorial Cross Country Invitational. For the Blue Angels, Mckenna Warner made it a one-two finish, taking second place just 31 seconds behind Adkins. The Blue Angels finished second overall with a team score of 72, just behind host school Marietta (63 points). The Eastern Lady Eagles finished 10th in the 13 team field with a score of 262. Southern had one runner compete in the girls event. For the Blue Angels, Adkins was first with a time of 19:37.20, Warner took second with a time of 20:18.70 and Madison Holley was eighth with a time of 21:54.50.

The visiting Vikings (1-0) led wire-to-wire in the contest, jumping out to a 14-0 first quarter lead that turned into a 27-7 halftime advantage. That lead ballooned to 34-7 early in the fourth, but the Tornadoes (0-1) added a pair of scoring drives in the final 3:14 of regulation — closing out the 13point decision. SVHS had won the last four season openers against Southern, which hasn’t won a Week 1 contest since defeating these same Vikings at SVHS (14-7) in 2006. The Vikings improved that streak to five straight Friday, despite committing 11 penalties for 197 yards. Southern, conversely, was flagged just three times for 25 yards. Symmes Valley took its opening drive straight to paydirt, as Austin Baldwin hauled in a 23-yard pass from Cody Myers for a 7-0 lead with 9:36 left in the opening canto. Tyler Rowe increased the Viking lead to 14-0 after a fiveyard scoring run with 1:31 left in the first. After a defensive battle in most of the second stanza, SVHS increased its edge to 20-0 with 4:43 left in the first half after a one-yard plunge by D.J. Miller. Southern finally got on the scoreboard with two minutes left before half, as Ryan Taylor hauled in a 34-yard pass from Danny Ranthum to make it a 20-7 contest. The Vikings, however, countered with a score on their ensuing drive, as Rowe added his second rushing TD on a four-yard run with 25 seconds left until the break.

Ranthum found Taylor for another SHS score at 3:14, a oneyard TD pass that made 34-14. Ranthum added a 61-yard TD run with 27 seconds left in regulation to wrap up the scoring. Symmes Valley had 48 rushes for 310 yards and added another 60 yards through the air, which led to 18 first downs. Conversely, SHS had 10 first downs, 28 rushes for 88 yards and 118 passing yards (206 total). Both teams had one turnover and four punts apiece in the game. Ranthum led the hosts with 47 rushing yards on 11 carries, fol- lowed by Tyler Barton with 16 totes for 39 yards. Trenton Deem also had one attempt for two yards. Ranthum was 8-of-21 passing for 118 yards, throwing two touchdowns and zero interceptions. Taylor hauled in six passes for 101 yards and two scores, while Tristan Wolfe had one catch for 13 yards. Paul Ranthum also had a four-yard reception. Miller led the Vikings with 127 yards on 14 carries, while Myers added 90 yards on 14 attempts. Myers hit four different receivers and was 4-of-6 passing for 60 yards, throwing one TD and zero picks.

Meigs turned the ball over three times, all in Hornet territory. Two of those turnovers set up Coal Grove scores, and the third was at the Hornet goal line, and Coal Grove recovered in the end zone for a touchback. The Hornets received the opening kickoff and quarterback Alex Bare capped off a six play, 88 yard drive with a 65 yard touchdown run. The kick was no good but Coal Grove held the early 6-0 lead. Dillon Boyer gained 26 yards on first down, and Charlie Barrett added 10 more on the Marauders first two offensive plays. But Barrett fumbled and Austin Clark recovered S. Mahr for Coal Grove at their own 29. Five plays later, Bare hooked up with Bryan Steele on a 33 yard scoring toss, Bare added the extra points on a run and the Hornets led 14-0 at the 5:25 mark of the first period. Steele came up with a defensive play when he picked off a Boyer pass at the Hornet 26. Coal Grove put together an 11 play, 74 yard drive, capped off with a nine yard run by Greg Bender. T.J. Barrett added the extra point to give the Hornets a 21-0 lead. On the first play after a Marauder punt, Bare hooked up with Steele from 33 yards out, once again Barrett was true with the kick and a 28-0 Coal Grove lead. Meigs took the kickoff and on second down Boyer raced 53 yards down the left sidelines on a keeper to the Hornet nine yard line. Three plays later Boyer hit, Blake Crow in the end zone, as Crow out jumped the defender and pulled the pass in for the score.

Then he zipped into the darkness of a deserted practice track. There, only a short hike from the main stadium, he didn’t have to worry about jumping the gun. Bolt missed out on defending his title Sunday when he jumped from the blocks early at the world championships. He was disqualified by a highly debated zero-tolerance false start rule enacted last year. “He’s human, isn’t he? I always knew he was human,” said his coach, Glen Mills. “He will pick himself up. He’s a champion.” Just not on this night. Bolt knew instantly it was his error, too. Soon after the gun went off, soon after taking just a few steps out of the blocks, another gun blasted — the knot-inyour-stomach sound for any sprinter. Bolt’s eyes grew big. He pulled his shirt over his face, then ripped it off and whipped it around in his hand. Grudgingly, Bolt left the stage he has dominated since the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Instead, it was left to another Jamaican to wrap himself in the country’s flag — Yohan Blake, a 21-year-old up-andcomer that former Olympic gold medalist Maurice Greene predicted to win. Blake finished in a modest time of 9.92 seconds, 0.16 seconds ahead of American rival Walter Dix. Kim Collins of Saint Kitts and Nevis, the 2003 world champion and now an aging 35year-old veteran, was third. “Definitely, I wasn’t focusing on beating Usain,” Blake said. “I was just focusing on finishing in the top three.” This was also a day that Oscar Pistorius, the dou- Tornadoes from Page B1 AP Photo/Kin Cheung Jamaica's Usain Bolt, third from bottom, false starts from the Men's 100m final at the World Athletics Championships in Daegu, South Korea, Sunday.

Springing along on his carbonfiber blades, Pistorius advanced to the semifinals of the 400. “A big sense of relief,” he said. On the track, it was a big show for the Americans. Defending champion Trey Hardee and Ashton Eaton gave the U.S. its first 1-2 decathlon finish at the worlds. Brittney Reese defended her long jump title, and Allyson Felix breezed into the finals of the 400 with an easy win in her heat. Indiansʼ Brantley out for season with hand injury CLEVELAND (AP) — Bad news on the injury front continues to pile up for the Cleveland Indians. Outfielder Michael Brantley will have surgery to remove part of the hamate bone in his right hand and will miss the rest of the season. He was placed on the 60day disabled list before Sunday’s game against Kansas City. Brantley played with tendinitis in his wrist for several weeks, but the soreness subsided with treatment and rest. However, he recently felt pain in his hand and was placed on the 15-day DL on Friday. Indians trainer Lonnie Soloff said tests revealed the fractured bone and that the normal recovery process takes six to nine weeks. “His symptoms changed in the last 10 days,” Soloff said. “That increased our suspicion of a hamate injury.” Dr. Thomas Graham, a renowned orthopedist, will perform the surgery early this week at Cleveland Clinic. Brantley, the Indians’ leadoff Tuesday, August 30, 2011 hitter, batted .266 with seven homers and 46 RBIs in 114 games. The injury-ravaged Indians trail Detroit by 6? games in the AL Central. Outfielder Grady Sizemore, designated hitter Travis Hafner, second baseman Jason Kipnis and starting pitchers Josh Tomlin and Carlos Carrasco are also on the DL. Outfielder Shin-Soo Choo was removed from Saturday’s game in the fifth inning with an injury to his left side, which had forced him to miss the previous two games. Manager Manny Acta could tell Choo was still in pain. “We knew just by looking at his face when he swung,” Acta said. “He was stretching it in the outfield. That’s not a good sign. We thought it was better to lose him for a few days than the rest of the season.” Acta said Choo won’t swing a bat for at least a few days. Sizemore, who has been on the DL since July 18 with a bruised knee and following sports hernia surgery, could begin a minor- league rehab assignment this week. Soloff said Sizemore hit in the outdoor batting cage for the second time Sunday. Hafner has a sprained tendon in his right foot and might need season-ending surgery. The team will seek outside opinions this week on the injury, which bothered him for months. Hafner is wearing a walking boot and is currently receiving daily treatment. Kipnis is out with a strained right hamstring and likely won’t return for a couple of weeks. Tomlin and Carrasco have elbow injuries and it’s unclear if either will pitch again this season. The Indians acquired veteran slugger Jim Thome from Minnesota to boost their sagging offense. Thome, who hit his 602nd career homer Saturday, wasn’t in the lineup Sunday to rest. The Indians also recalled outfielder Jerad Head from Triple-A Columbus and optioned left-hander Nick Hagadone to Columbus. Head started in left field Sunday, his major-league debut. yards, with Austin Owens (15), Alec Herrell (12) and Scott Dial (10) also hauling in a pass each.

Memorial from Page B1 Strasburg fans 7 in 5 innings of rehab start SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Stephen Strasburg struck out seven in five innings, giving up one earned run on two hits in a rehab start for Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday night. It was Strasburg’s fifth minor league appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow. The right-hander threw every pitch in his arsenal, displaying a fastball that registered as high as 98 mph, while mixing in a devastating curveball to go along with his changeup. It was an overpowering start against the Rochester Redwings, as Strasburg threw 64 pitches with 47 strikes. He didn’t issue a walk, and didn’t even allow a fly-ball out until the fifth inning. “I was really able to pound the zone. I think I went out there and really focused on good tempo, attacking the strike zone,” Strasburg said. “Really just going back to the mindset I had before. It’s a lot of time, you forget some of the little things you key in on during the game just because you have so much time off.” Cruising for five innings, Strasburg gave up two straight singles to start the sixth before Chiefs manager Randy Knorr removed him from the game. Strasburg jogged off the field to a standing ovation. Pitching at the highest level since being with Washington in 2010, Strasburg struck out four of the first six batters he faced. Starting off the second inning, he had a 10-pitch battle with Redwings first baseman Jeff Bailey, who fouled off seven pitches before chasing a changeup that clocked in at 90 mph. As the Redwings looked overpowered from the beginning of the game, the poised Strasburg looked major league ready almost immediately upon taking the mound. However, he said his curveball still is coming back and will likely remain that way through the end of the year. “It felt a lot better tonight. I made some adjustments in the last bullpen,” Strasburg said. “I’m still not getting the kind of break that I had before, but there are flashes of it. You can’t be too mad about it.” It’s been a mostly easy road back to the major leagues for the Nationals’ prized pitcher. The right-hander has had only one poor outing, when he gave up five runs on four hits to the Lexington Legends in just 1 2-3 innings while pitching for Single-A Hagerstown on Aug. 17. The 2009 first overall draft pick, who signed a four-year contract worth $15.1 million with the Nationals, overpowered major league hitters before he was injured. In six starts for the Nationals last season, Strasburg went 4-1 with a 1.08 ERA in 33 1-3 innings. He gave up only 18 hits and seven walks while striking out 38. Strasburg set a major league record with 32 strikeouts in his first three starts. Strasburg is expected to make one more minor league start for Harrisburg on Sept. 1, then will likely pitch for the Nationals on Sept. 6. “The goal right now is to go out there, feel good, feel good the next day and do it all over again in five days,” Strasburg said. “My goal right now is to go into the offseason healthy and be ready to go for spring training.” Hanning was first with a score of 54 and Trimble was second with 70. Victoria Walker led the Lady Marauders, finishing 13th with a time of 24:25.76. Haley Kennedy was 22nd (26:32.51), Maggie Smith was 23rd (26:39.69), Tess Phelps was 24th (26:41.43), Tara Walzer-Kuharic was 30th (27:38.60) and Amanda Crane was 44th (30:16.97). The first place finisher in the girls race — Trimble’s Johannah Couch — set a new course record with a time of 21:14.36.

Now, the worst-case scenario: The scandal emerging from Miami’s football team could instead leave the university forever paired in the public’s eye with Southern Methodist University, so far the only school with a football program declared so irredeemable the NCAA shut it down. While football fans debate if the Hurricanes might be the second, higher education observers are wondering how the scandal will affect the legacy of one the most visible, ambitious and highly paid college presidents in the country. In 2004, three years after the former Clinton cabinet member arrived in Coral Cables, Shalala made a move that signaled all at once her athletic, financial and academic ambitions for her school: Miami bolted the Big East for the ACC. Shalala wanted Miami in a stronger football conference, with more revenue potential, but she also hoped the ACC’s strong academic reputation would rub off on “The U” and help it move on from its scandal-plagued past. By many counts, she’s succeeded, not-so-quietly helping Miami improve its standing in recent years — arguably, as much as any major university in the country. Average freshman SAT scores are up from 1183 to 1293 during her tenure, and applications have nearly doubled. She’s finished a $1.4 billion fundraising campaign, plucked both students and star researchers from colder climes and is adding to an already luxuriant campus. “It was a very exciting place — the quality of the students, the faculty, the research,” said Barbara Kahn, who served as dean of the business school under Shalala until moving to the University of Pennsylvania earlier this year. “We had the mandate to turn the University of Miami into a first-class research school.” Miami has also met an explicit goal to move up in the U.S. News and World Report rankings. It’s jumped from No. 67 before Shalala arrived to No. 47 currently, a more rapid climb than any other major university. All of which gives Shalala substantial capital as Miami confronts allegations, first reported by Yahoo Sports, that a convicted scammer and rogue football booster provided 65 football players who suited up for the Hurricanes with cars, money, gifts and even prostitutes between 2002 and 2010. Ten former Miami football and basketball coaches were also implicated by the booster, Nevin Shapiro. The NCAA has been investigating the matter for five months and has interviewed Shalala, though there’s been no evidence so far to suggest top university officials knew what was happening. Unless such evidence turns up, Shalala’s job is not widely considered to be in jeopardy. But the fruits of her painstaking work to build up Miami’s reputation may be more vulnerable. At the very least, the latest allegations — on top of mixed reviews of her response to a 2006 brawl between Miami and Florida International University football players — paint her as the latest example of an ambitious university president struggling to corral a bigtime sports program. Such programs hold the power to bolster the university immeasurably but also to humiliate it in the blink of an eye. “I think most people who look at Miami under her presidency would say it’s a vastly superior institution,” said John Burness, a former public affairs chief at universities including Illinois, Cornell and Duke. “But it’s a mark of the power of big-time athletics that it can take the integrity of the (whole) institution down.” Miami’s board has expressed support. A university spokeswoman declined an interview request for her but Shalala released a video statement about the allegations on Monday. “We cannot let the actions of some define the many,” Shalala said. Source: Big 12 expects Texas A&Mʼs departure BY STEPHEN HAWKINS ASSOCIATED PRESS Big 12 officials expect Texas A&M to announce within the next week it plans to leave the conference. A person with knowledge of what was discussed during a conference call of the Big 12 board of directors Saturday told The Associated Press that Texas A&M officials talked about their anticipated departure. “No major surprises,” said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the talks. “A&M didn’t say they were leaving, but certainly gave every indication that’s what they plan on doing.” As for the timing of such a move, that person said, “it would not be a surprise that it would happen sometime this week” and likely the only thing that could keep that from happening would be if the 12-team SEC determines it is not ready to add any more teams at this point. The Aggies have pub- licly expressed interest in joining the SEC and on Thursday formally informed Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe in a letter from school President R. Bowen Loftin that Texas A&M was exploring all of its options. Among items discussed during Saturday’s call was how much money Texas A&M would forfeit for leaving the conference and likely negotiations of that amount, which could be $20 million or more. SEC presidents and chancellors met two weeks ago and reaffirmed their “satisfaction with the present 12 institutional alignment.” But they also acknowledged the possibility of future expansion and discussed criteria for that. If Texas A&M leaves the Big 12, the move could trigger another shakeup across college sport. Texas last year considered offers to join the Big Ten and the Pac-10 before deciding to stay in the Big 12. Nebraska (Big Ten) and Colorado (Pac12) left the Big 12 in July. Texas A&M would have to settle its membership with the Big 12 before it could apply for membership into the Southeastern Conference. “The Big 12 Conference members have been and will continue to conduct meetings related to the situation with Texas A&M and conference membership,” Beebe said in a statement Saturday. “There will be public statements as appropriate and necessary if and when action is taken.” It was unclear if Texas A&M would be able to move to the SEC as early as the 2012-13 school year. The Aggies will certainly play their Big 12 schedules in football and other sports for the upcoming season, as Colorado and Nebraska did a year go before their departures from the league. The person who spoke on condition of anonymity said the other nine Big 12 members again reaffirmed the desire to keep the conference intact. Texas A&M opens its season next Sunday at home against SMU. Federer says heʼs still hungry as US Open starts NEW YORK (AP) — First came the end of Roger Federer’s remarkable run of reaching a record 10 consecutive Grand Slam finals. Then he failed to make it to a major semifinal after a record 23 in a row. The U.S. Open marks Federer’s last chance to prevent the close of another streak: In each season from 2003-10, he won at least one Grand Slam title — and sometimes as many as three. He’s 0-for- 2011 heading into the year’s last major tournament, where play is scheduled to begin Monday morning, after what the U.S. Tennis Association said was “minimal damage” to the site over the weekend from Tropical Storm Irene. This U.S. Open also is Federer’s first major tournament since he turned 30 on Aug. 8. That age tends to represent a barrier to success in tennis: Of the past 100 Grand Slam titles, only five were won by a man past his 30th birthday. The last to do it was Andre Agassi at the 2003 Australian Open. Federer, though, said that his age hasn’t affected his expectations. “Hasn’t changed anything. I’m still as professional. I’m still as hungry. Everything’s still completely normal,” he explained. “It’s just a number that’s changed.

(AP) — An American flag draped around his shoulders, Braydon Salzman couldn’t contain his glee when he found California teammate Nick Pratto to give him a postgame hug. The boys from Huntington Beach are headed home with a Little League World Series championship. Pratto singled in the winning run with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of sixth inning, and Salzman pitched a complete-game three-hitter in a 2-1 victory Sunday over Hamamatsu City, Japan, and the tournament title. “USA! USA,” yelled fans before Pratto’s single. “I was just thinking. ‘Oh God, Oh God,’ Before I was getting in the box,” the 12-year-old Pratto said. “But once I got into the box, I calmed myself by telling myself to just look for a good pitch.” Pratto’s clutch hit returned the World Series title to the United States with the type of victory even the big leaguers dream about. A U.S. team has now won six out of the last seven World Series, with Japan’s win last year the exception. Pratto tossed his helmet into the air after rounding first before his teammates mobbed him in the infield. The teams exchanged handshakes at the plate before California’s giddy players posed at the mound with their new championship banner. “My team is physically smaller than most of the teams. We didn’t think we would get to this stage,” Japan manager Akihiro Suzuki, who fought back tears after the game, said through interpreter Kotaro Omori. “All of the players did such a wonderful job to get to this stage.” With runners on first and second, an error by Japan shortstop Gaishi Iguchi on what could have been an inning-ending double play loaded the bases for California. After a force play at the plate, Pratto smacked a solid liner to center off reliever Kazuto Takakura that brought pinch-runner Eric Anderson home with the winning run. Pratto did his father, manager Jeff Pratto, proud. Nick Pratto said it was great to have his father as his coach, “but he kind of gets on my nerves sometimes.” It was a fitting end to a tense game marked by excellent pitching and timely defense. Japan starter Shoto Totsuka struck out five over 4 1-3 innings, giving up a homer to right to California slugger Hagen Danner. First pitch was delayed more than three hours after the outer bands of Hurricane Irene brought more rain than expected to the Williamsport area. “The result was bad, but they really tried their best,” Suzuki said. “Today’s weather was difficult for us to get used too. If the weather was like this in Japan, we wouldn’t have played.” The clouds finally started parting midway through the game, and sunshine draped the complex by the time the California players left the stadium to cheers by friends and family. Neither team could convert on several chances to break open the pitcher’s duel earlier in the game. With runners on first and second in the top of the sixth, third baseman Dylan Palmer blocked the bag from sliding Japan runner Ken Igeta on a bunt play to help get California get out the inning. California put runners on first and second with two outs in the fifth, but Takakura got a flyout to end the inning. Playing right field in the second, Takakura also made a running catch on fly down the line to save an extra-base hit with a runner on second. It was Japan running all over the place in the third, flashing trademark hustle to scratch out the game’s first run after Seiya Fujita’s solid single to left. Pinch-runner Kaito Suzuki moved to second on a bunt and raced toward third with no one covering. The throw bounced into foul territory, allowing Suzuki to score easily. In a gracious postgame gesture, Japan’s players AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar Huntington Beach, Calif.'s Dylan Palmer (13) jumps onto home plate after hitting a two-run home run off Billings, Mont., pitcher Patrick Zimmer in the second inning of the U.S. championship baseball game at the Little League World Series in South Williamsport, Pa., Saturday. California won 11-2 to advance to the Sunday's series championship game. and coaches lined up and traditional victory lap exchanged high-fives with around the stadium warnthe California kids after ing track. “It’s just a dream come Huntington Beach did the true,” Danner said. “I never thought we would be in that spot, let alone winning it.” Bengals LB Maualuga moves to middle Browns wide receiver CINCINNATI (AP) — Linebacker Brian Cushing won the defensive rookie of the year award with Houston in 2009. Linebacker Clay Matthews forced a fumble that helped Green Bay win the Super Bowl last year and earn a reputation as one of the NFL’s emerging stars. What about Rey? Rey Maualuga was expected to be perhaps the best of the trio of Southern California linebackers who went to the NFL in 2009, a hard hitter capable of game-turning plays. He hasn’t made many of those during his two years with the Cincinnati Bengals, and it’s bothering him. “There’s always going to be a competition, coming from SC,” Maualuga said. “They get drafted in the first round, I get drafted in the second. Cush gets defensive player of the year. Clay has a phenomenal two seasons, second in defensive player of the year voting this past year. “So, where’s Rey? What did Rey do? That’s the only thing that’s just chilling me.” He’ll have a chance to be in the middle of it all this year. The Bengals have moved Maualuga from outside to middle linebacker, giving him a chance to play to his strengths as a run stopper and stay on the field for more plays. It’s also his turn to become a leader, something he has embraced since coaches suggested the move at the end of last season. Maualuga remembers that conversation with defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, who summed up how he’d played his outside spot in 2010. “I said he played average, and my expectation level of him is much higher than being an average player,” Zimmer said after practice Sunday. “Hopefully he did take it to heart.” Sure did. “He wants to push it upon me to do something about it,” Maualuga said. “Obviously no defender ever wants to hear those words, that you’re just average. I have expectations for myself. Everyone is asking, ‘When is that going to come out? Where’s that Rey from SC?’ But it’s no excuses.” During the NFL lockout, Maualuga studied the playbook to make sure he knew all the calls that the middle linebacker has to make. He also played more of a leadership role in organizing and directing voluntary workouts that Bengals players held at a suburban soccer complex. “I’m just trying to step it up and hopefully become a leader,” Maualuga said. “Last year, I was just a person that was following the crowd, just listening. Now I feel my presence and the way I speak to the guys will help one or two people.” It’s not a role that comes naturally to Maualuga. “I think he’s trying,” Zimmer said. “His personality isn’t really that kind. I think he’s probably a year or two away from being a Ray Lewis kind of guy, but he’s working at it. I think the better he plays, the better he becomes a leader.” So far, he’s doing fine in his new spot. “He’s adjusting to making the calls,” Zimmer said. “I think he’s been playing the run good and actually has been OK on the pass.” Maualuga finds himself still thinking a bit too much about what he has to do at his new spot instead of reacting instinctively. “It comes and goes,” he said. “I think in due time everything will unveil itself and I’m just going to go out there and play ball instead of thinking too much.” Maualuga knows it’s an important season for him, a chance to show he can keep up with his former teammates from USC. In his last season in college, Maualuga was an AP AllAmerican, won the Chuck Bednarik Award as the nation’s top defensive player and was the Pac-10 Conference defensive player of the year. “Like last year, my goal is to go to the Pro Bowl, to become that dominant player,” he said. “That didn’t happen, so everyone thought, ‘He’s all talk.’” Massaquoi practices BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Back at practice for the first time, Browns receiver Mohamed Massaquoi is still not exactly certain how he got an injury that has kept him out of all contact drills. Massaquoi finally put on a helmet, pads, and caught passes during a non-contact drill Sunday. It was his first footballrelated action since coming to camp with his left foot in a cast and clouded by mystery. “It was a bone chip, but I’m not sure when or where it came from,” Massaquoi said, explaining the extent of the problem. “I didn’t know it until I got here.” Getting back both Massaquoi and fellow receiver Carlton Mitchell, who missed two weeks with a finger injury, was good news for first-year coach Pat Shurmur. A large contingent of injured players once again did not practice, including Eric Steinbach, the starter at left guard out since Aug. 17 with a disc problem in his back. “There’s nothing that’s been finally decided on his status,” Shurmur said. “When he’s back or not back, we’ll make it known.” Massaquoi’s injury was never disclosed until he came off the field Sunday. He revealed that he got hurt during “Camp Colt,” a series of workouts hosted in Texas by Browns quarterback Colt McCoy. That was during the NFL lockout, which delayed the opening of all training camps. Massaquoi is expected to be a key target for McCoy. In 15 games last season, he had 36 catches for 483 yards and two touchdowns. That was slightly less than his production as a rookie in 2009. After being picked by Cleveland in the second round out of Georgia, Massaquoi tied for the team lead with 34 catches, good for 624 yards and three TDs. “It’s great to have Mo get in a few drills and get his feet under him,” McCoy said. “We’re going to slowly work him back in, and Carlton as well. It’s encouraging for us.” OPENING IN SEPTEMBER!
