Afghans fear futureKABUL, Afghanistan (AP)

— Asadullah Ramin has lostall hope in his homeland —he’s so worried about whatwill happen when U.S. and in-ternational troops leave thathe’s ready to pay a smugglerto whisk his family out ofAfghanistan.It would cost the 50-year-

old, self-employed electronicsengineer tens of thousands ofdollars to leave his middle-class life in the Afghan capitaland start a new chapter withhis wife and their threedaughters. He has done OK inrecent years, even getting con-tracts from the foreign forces,and he has warm memories of

Kabul from his teens — beforeSoviet forces invaded the na-tion.But he wouldn’t hesitate

for a moment. He already paidto have his two sons smuggledto a European county he won’tdisclose.“If I could go in the next

hour, I would leave everything

— the house,my shop,” Raminsaid, tears welling in his eyesas he spoke in his dusty work-shop.“I have no hope, no hope,”

he said, opening his palms asif pleading to be understood.The United States and its

allies have tried to reassureSee AFGHANS/Page 5A

reasons for provisionalvoting have not changed.Board member MerrillAsher suggested that theboard have a policy forsituations in which avoter is directed to aprecinct by a poll workerbut is still offered a pro-visional ballot becausethey are not listed as el-igible to vote in theprecinct. Asher recom-mended that the policyrequire the presidingjudge call the Board ofElections and verify theproper precinct before is-suing a provisional bal-lot in the multiprecinctlocations. Billing andBoard Chairman ChrisGibbs will work on a pol-icy and return it to theboard members for theirconsideration. There arenine locations with mul-tiprecincts. The policywill eliminate any doubtif a voter has been di-rected to the properprecinct.Board member Jon

Baker asked if the boardhas meetings with pre-siding judges followingelections regarding prob-lems or concerns fromthe election. Billingstated that one round-table was held in thepast, but she said, mostpresiding judges voiceconcerns on electionnight, the following dayor in notes. Baker wasalso concerned about theprocessing of absenteeballots for the Novemberelection. Billing saidthat Board of Electionstaff members wouldstart to process absenteeballots 10 days ahead asdirected by the Ohio Sec-retary of State’s office.Asher said he thinks

all new poll workersshould be trained at adifferent time than expe-rienced poll workers.New poll workers willget letters regardingtraining sessions anddates for training. Thoseletters will be sent out assoon as possible so theycan reserve that date.Billing told the boardthat the elections boardreceived an email fromOhio Secretary of StateJon Husted to announcethat Shelby County willbe receiving money tohelp offset the cost ofpoll worker training forNovember. Billing doesnot know if the money isfrom Help America VoteAct (HAVA) funds anddoes not know how themoney will be accountedfor.Shelby County will re-

ceive $3,179.67 in HAVAmoney. Billing will beworking with the ShelbyCounty Auditor’s officeto make sure the moneyis placed in the correctline item once the moneyhas arrived. The HAVAmoney is not the samefunding as the onlinepoll worker trainingfunds from HAVA thatare paid directly to pollworkers when they com-plete training. Gibbsasked if someone fromthe Secretary of State’soffice might be willing tohelp with poll workertraining. Billing willcheck and see if they cando that. Board of Elec-tions Assistant DirectorPhilWarnecke suggestedthat the board ask one ofthe experienced presid-ing judges to help withpoll worker training dur-ing the day.The elections

board staff would helpwith evening training.The board discussed

the latest Elections Bul-letin from the Secretaryof State that suggeststhat Ohio electionsboard should have extratoner for all printers,copiers and fax ma-chines. Billing is lookingfor someone to servicethe ballot-on-demand(BOD) printer and sug-gested a Dayton com-pany. There is currentlyno service contract onthe BOD printer. Asherasked if the Perry Corp.in Lima would be able toservice either printer.Billing will check on thatand let the board know.Baker asked if there is abackup printer for theBOD ballots. Baker saidthe board should assumethat the BOD printerwill go down on ElectionDay and plan for whatthey will do if they needa backup printer. Theelections board staff willresearch the issue andlet the board know whatthey find out at the Au-gust meeting. Warneckewill check on informa-tion regarding a newprinter or repairing theold printer.Billing discussed

with the board the pos-sible cost of a postagemeter for the electionsboard office. She spokewith the Sidney post of-fice regarding gettingmail delivery earlier inthe day once absenteevoting starts for the No-vember election. Billingalso suggested that theboard could get a postoffice box for threemonths so the boardstaff could pick up mail

on a regular basis.Billing will follow up

with the post office afterthe countywide electionin August. Another op-tion is for the board staffto go to the ShelbyCounty Commissioner’soffice to process mailinglabels in advance for theabsentee ballots that areanticipated the next day,including when the com-missioner’s office isclosed. Baker suggestedbuying stamps as abackup plan.Billing told the board

that an additional com-puter work station couldbe added to the office atno charge by using exist-ing equipment.The workstation will be used fortemporary board em-ployees to use to enterabsentee ballot informa-tion. The temporary staffwill work flexible hoursto process absentee bal-lot requests.Billing told board

members that the OhioAssociation of ElectionOfficials were asking fordues to be paid. Dues arethe same as last yearand cost $668.70. Theboard approved the pay-ment of the dues.Billing reminded

board members aboutthe January conferenceso they can let her knowif they will be able to at-tend. The board mem-bers were reminded ofthe dates they need to beavailable for the Augustelection. Those activitiesand the dates includepresiding judge supplypickup, Saturday; pollinglocation setup, Monday;Election Day, Tuesaday;and certification of elec-tion, Aug. 20.

July was onehot month

Following a first day 1.46-inch rain event, themonth of July in Sidney and Shelby Countylogged 15 consecutive days without rainfall,damaging grain crops at a most crucial time intheir development.The string of hot, dry days finally ended July

18 with a 0.81-inch rainfall followed by a .039event the next day. The month’s best rain event,measuring 1.53 inches, fell July 24, temporarilybreaking the heat wave.The NationalWeather Service inWilmington

says the month was the fourth hottest July everrecorded in the Miami Valley.Temperatures were in the high 90s 15 days

in July including 98 degree readings July 6 and7. The month’s lowest temperature was 73 de-grees on July 20.Rainfall somehow managed to total 4.77

inches for the month’s 31 days, bringing year todate total precipitation to 19.48 inches.Weather information is provided by the Sid-

AP Photo/Warren County Drug Task force

This undated police photo provided by the WarrenCounty Drug Task Force shows a marijuana grow-ing operation at a warehouse in Blue Ash. Tyler Pa-genstecher, 17, pleaded guilty to drug-traffickingcharges in juvenile court on Wednesday. Police sayhe played a major role in a drug ring that sold asmuch as $20,000 worth of high-grade marijuana amonth to fellow students at two high schools. Hecould be ordered held until he turns 21.

Teen accusedin high school

drug ringMASON (AP) — One

of the biggest drug deal-ers in the Cincinnati areawas led into court thisweek.He lookedmore likethe president of the mathclub — skinny, pale, be-spectacled, dressed in ablue buttoned-down shirtand khakis, and just 17years old.Three weeks before he

was supposed to start hissenior year in high school,Tyler Pagenstecherpleaded guilty to drug-trafficking charges in ju-venile court after beingarrested and accused ofplaying a major role in aring that sold as much as$20,000 worth of high-grademarijuana amonthto fellow students in andaround this well-to-dosuburb.“He is his own little

czar over this high schoolscenario,” said JohnBurke, commander of theWarren County DrugTask Force, adding thathe has never seen a moresuccessful teenage drugdealer in his jurisdiction.At his sentencing Sept.

18, Pagenstecher could beordered held until heturns 21.While some neighbors

and fellow students atMason High School wereshocked at the arrest, say-ing Pagenstecher seemedlike an ordinary, easygo-ing kid who liked skate-boarding, riding bikesand hanging out, 17-year-old friend Leslie Philpotsaid she and plenty ofothers knew he smokedpot and suspected he soldit, too.“Anyone he was

friends with knew,” shesaid. “He never came outand said, ‘I sell drugs’ buthe would say thingswhere you know what hewas talking about it.He’dbe like, ‘I don’t have a realjob. I don’t need one. Ihave plenty of money.’Then he’d wink and you

would know.”Pagenstecher took or-

ders from adults who ledthe drug ring but was incharge of six teenage lieu-tenants who helped sellthe pot, authorities said.They, too, were ar-

rested, as were sevenadults, ages 20 to 58, whoallegedly grew the weedunder artificial lights in afurniture warehouse andtwo suburban homes.The task force seized

more than 600marijuanaplants with an estimatedstreet value of $3 million,or $5,000 a pound. Inves-tigators also found $6,000in cash in Pagenstecher’sbedroom.Pagenstecher and his

family denied requests forcomment, as did hislawyer.Most of his customers

attended Mason Highand Kings High, twohighly ranked publicschools some 20 milesoutside Cincinnati withlots of high-achieving, col-lege-bound students fromneighborhoods filled withdoctors, lawyers andwhite-collar employees ofProcter & Gamble andother major corporations.Burke said Pagen-

stecher had been dealingdrugs since at least 15and managed to stayunder authorities’ radarfor a long time by not sell-ing pot at school, butlargely out of his home, atwo-story, white-brickhouse on a spacious cor-ner lot where he livedwith his single motherand 20-year-old brother.Investigators said they

found no evidenceDaffney Pagenstecher, aschool bus driver, knewwhat her son was up to.By all accounts, he

didn’t throw a lot ofmoney around. He hadno fancy car, no fancyclothes, just normalteenage stuff like videogames, Burke said.

KENOSHA,Wis. (AP) — Kenosha Beef Interna-tional Ltd. is recalling nearly 19 tons of frozenbacon-cheeseburger patties because they may con-tain pieces of gasket material.The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced

the recall Thursday on behalf on the Kenosha com-pany.The USDA says the products being recalled are 2-

pound cartons containing six patties of Sam’s ChoiceFireside Gourmet Black Angus Beef Patties Baconand Aged Cheddar. They were distributed in Indi-ana, Maine, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania,South Carolina andWisconsin.The packages have the establishment number

“EST425B” and “best if used by” date code of120812B.The USDA says Kenosha Beef alerted it to the

problem after receiving a consumer complaint. TheUSDA says there have been no reports of injuries orillnesses.A telephone message left with Kenosha Beef was

not immediately returned.

Winning over theundecided votersTough job for Obama, RomneyPURCELLVILLE, Va.

(AP) — Undecided vot-ers in swing states holdthe key to the presiden-tial election, but neitherMitt Romney nor BarackObama has an easyrecipe for winning themover.Friday’s new jobs re-

port, even if dismal forincumbent PresidentObama,might do little tohelp challenger Romneywith this group.Undecided voters in-

terviewed this week saidthey place little impor-tance on such statistics,even though both cam-paigns mine them forevery possible advan-tage.Instead, these voters

want more details aboutRomney’s economic pro-posals and Bain Capitalrecord, less bickering be-tween the parties and agreater sense of inspira-tion and leadership fromboth candidates.Some of them ac-

knowledge that’s avague wish list. But withless than a dozen statesin play, and polls show-ing that about 10 per-cent of the electorateremains undecided, thissliver of hard-to-pleaseAmericans could decidethe Nov. 6 election.Scott Davison, who

works at a bicycle shopin Purcellville, Va., istypical of on-the-fencevoters interviewed thisweek in Virginia, Ohioand Florida. Romney has

a chance to dissuade himfrom his inclination to-ward Obama, Davisonsaid, but the formerMassachusetts governormust offer more detailsabout how he would im-prove the economy.“I’m not seeing any-

thing substantial thatRomney has to offer,”said Davison, 40, wholives in politically com-petitive LoudounCounty. “I’m just seeingsuperficial stuff.”Davison, who studied

economics at ColoradoState University andweighs his words beforespeaking, said he putslittle campaign stock inmonthly employment re-ports.Elected officials, he

said, “can help steer pol-icy. But it’s like the QE2.If you make a change upat the bow, it’s going totake miles and miles toturn it around.”Forty miles south, in

the Washington exurb ofManassas, Va., ChuckNeal is no fan of Obama,but Romney hasn’tlocked down his vote. TVads criticizing Romney’stime at the private-eq-uity company Bain Cap-ital have raisedquestions for Neal, 50, amanager at a busy mill-working plant.Romney has a record

of “sending businessoverseas and taking itaway from us,” Neal said,reciting a theme fromthe frequently run ads,

which Romney disputes.“We don’t have a lot ofgood choices.”Mike McKenna, a Vir-

ginia-based Republicanresearcher who conductsfocus groups of unde-cided voters nationwide,said he’s not surprisedby such comments. Thebarrage of DemocraticTV ads attacking Rom-ney’s record at Bain, hesaid, “has done a lot ofdamage.”Virginia’s unemploy-

ment rate is well belowthe national average.But Florida’s is not, andthe state still suffersfrom a collapse in hous-ing prices.Despite those differ-

ences, undecided votersin south Florida ex-pressed many of thesame sentiments as Vir-ginians: a reluctance toread too much intomonthly job reports anda hunger for more infor-mation about Romney’sbusiness backgroundand economic plans.Win Hoffman, 81, a

retired architect fromLauderhill, said hewatches the monthlyjobs reports but theydon’t determine his votefor president.“Neither candidate

and neither party reallyhas that much to say, orthat much to do, aboutthe economy,” Hoffmansaid. “Not even thechairman of the FederalReserve has that muchcontrol.”

“We can’t controlGreece and Portugal andItaly,” he added.Hoffman, who regis-

ters as a Democrat butconsiders himself an in-dependent, said he is notimpressed by the fortuneRomney made directingBain Capital.“Business success is

often being in the rightplace at the right timewith the right amount ofcapital,” he said. “I’mmore impressed with theworldly outlook that apresidential candidatecan demonstrate to me— absolute sincerity forthe welfare of this coun-try and its citizens. Andas of this moment, Gov-ernor Romney doesn’tproject that kind of atti-tude as much as Presi-dent Obama does.”Hoffman said he is

not personally affectedby the economic slump.That’s not the case, how-ever, for Doris Morgan,58, of Venice, Fla.She was a social

worker and administra-tive assistant beforequitting work to care forher aging parents. She isnow unable to find workoutside of low-paying re-tail and restaurant jobs.A disillusioned life-

long Democrat who’sthinking of switchingher registration to inde-pendent, Morgan said,“I’m not happy with ei-ther party. I don’t thinkthey represent myvoice.”

COLUMBUS (AP) —The statewatchdog has found that Ohio’sleading education official was onthe payroll of a Texas-based stan-dardized testing firm when helobbied state lawmakers last yearon a bill that benefited the com-pany.In a report released Thursday,

Inspector General Randall Meyerurged the Ohio Board of Educa-tion to consider disciplinary ac-tion against Superintendent StanHeffner.Meyer’s investigation found

Heffner already had a signed em-ployment agreement with Prince-ton, N.J.-based EducationalTesting Service’s San Antonio of-fice in May 2011, when he advo-cated use of the company’s testsin written testimony submitted toan Ohio Senate committee.Heffner was then interim super-intendent, later rejecting the ETSjob to stay on in the Ohio role per-manently.Heffner was the state school

board’s surprise pick for the topjob at the Ohio Department of Ed-ucation last July following a na-tional search, declaring at thetime, “A funny thing happened onmy way to Texas.”In required post-employment

paperwork, Heffner had listed hisETS start date as Aug. 1, 2011.However, the investigation foundthe agreement was signed thatApril, before he testified.The inspector general’s probe

found that beyond lobbying inap-propriately for ETS, Heffner usedhis state email and cellphone topursue the Texas job.He also directed his executive

secretary at the state EducationDepartment to mail his employ-ment application to ETS, sched-ule related travel to Texas — aswell as to South Dakota, where hepursued a separate position —and later to handle paperwork re-lated to selling his Westervillehome and buying a new house inTexas, the report said.

Debe Terhar, who chairs thestate school board, said she wasdisturbed by the investigation’sfindings and expects the board toact on Meyer’s request for reviewat its monthly meeting in Sep-tember. The 19-member panel se-lected by a combination ofelection and appointment over-sees him.“Stan Heffner is a dedicated

educator who is committed to theeducation reforms Ohio needs forour children, but in this matterhe demonstrated a woeful lack ofjudgment,” she said in a state-ment.Heffner issued a public apology

after the report was released andsaid he was willing to accept anypunishment the board deemednecessary.“I was wrong and I’m sorry for

my lack of judgment,” he said.“I’ve apologized to my staff, myfriends and colleagues at the De-partment, and the Board. I havelearned from my mistakes.”

AFGHANS From Page 1

Afghans that they are notabandoning the country wheninternational combat troopsleave by the end of 2014.Donornations have pledged billions tobankrollAfghan security forcesand billions more in develop-ment aid. Country after coun-try has signed a long-termpartnership pact with Kabul.But the promises have done

little to buoy the hopes ofAfghans who are in despairabout the future of their nation.Among Afghans around the

country interviewed byTheAs-sociated Press, theworry is per-vasive. Many are deeplyskeptical that Afghan policeand security forces, which theU.S.-led coalition has spentyears trying to build, will beable to fight insurgents andmilitants without Americanand NATO fighting alongside.Worse-case scenarios that somefear: The Afghan forces couldsplinter along ethnic line andprompt civil war, the nationcould plunge into a deep reces-sion, or the Kabul government—plaguedwith corruption andstill fragile despite efforts to es-tablish its authority — wouldremain too weak to hold off aTaliban takeover.

Just a 45-minute drive southof Kabul, residents of Wardakprovince directly feel the tenu-ousness. The province is a bat-tleground for Afghan andcoalition forces trying to squashhotbeds of the Taliban. Resi-dents quickly warn visitorsthat it’s dangerous just to gopast a checkpoint less a kilo-meter (half-mile) outside theprovincial capital, MaidanShahr.“We don’t know if the gov-

ernment has been successful ornot,” 17-year-old MohammadAshaq said, chatting inside atiny pharmacy in the city.“Mostpeople think that after 2014,the government will not exist.”Hanging over the fears is a

sense that history could repeatitself. Afghans felt abandonedby theU.S. after 1989,when theSoviet army withdrew fromAfghanistan. U.S. support tomujahedeen fighters battlingthe Soviets dried up quicklyandAfghanistan sank into civilwar as militias and warlordsbattled for power, devastatingKabul. That was followed bythe rise of the Taliban andyears of rule under their re-pressive regime.In one sign of the lack of con-

fidence, the number of Afghanasylum seekers in 44 industri-alized countries went up 34percent in 2011 over the yearbefore, according to the latestfigures issued by the U.N.HighCommissioner for Refugees. In2011, 35,700 Afghans soughtasylum, compared to 26,000 theyear before.Another sign: the real estate

market in Kabul.Broker Mir Ahmad Shah

says this is the worst of hisseven years selling propertiesin the capital. No one wants tobuy. A piece of land that wentfor $100,000 last year now ispriced as low as $60,000, buteven at that cut-rate price buy-ers aren’t tempted. It’s in partbecause of increased securityworries the past year, but it’s“especially because of the an-nouncement about the coalitionleaving,” he said.“I’m not hopeful for the fu-

ture and it’s not just me,” hesaid, waving his hand towardsmall shops across the streetwhere a vendor was selling livechickens.“The shopkeepers, thebusinessmen — they are allhopeless.” One of his listings isthe home of a man selling tomove to Canada, he added.

Annan quits as peace envoyBEIRUT (AP) — Kofi

Annan announced his resig-nation Thursday as peaceenvoy to Syria and issued ablistering critique of worldpowers, bringing to a dra-matic end a frustrating six-month effort that failed toachieve even a temporarycease-fire as the countryplunged into civil war.Annan also had harsh

words for the Syrian regime,saying it was clear PresidentBashar Assad “must leave of-fice.”As the violence escalated

on the ground, rebels used acaptured tank to shell a mili-tary air base near Aleppo —one of the first known uses ofheavy weapons by the insur-gents.Speaking to reporters in

Geneva, Annan blamed theSyrian government’s intransi-gence, the growing militancyof Syrian rebels and a dividedSecurity Council that failed toforcefully back his effort.Since he took on the job, Rus-sia and China have twice usedtheir veto power to blockstrong Western- and Arab-backed action against Presi-dent Bashar Assad’s regime.The White House said

Annan’s resignation high-lighted the failure of Russiaand China to support actionagainst Assad and called theregime’s continued violence

against its own people “dis-gusting.”“It is impossible for me or

anyone to compel the Syriangovernment and also the op-position to take the steps tobring about the political

process,” said Annan, a NobelPeace Prize laureate and for-mer U.N. secretary general.“You have to understand:

As an envoy, I can’t wantpeace more than the protago-nists, more than the Security

Council or the internationalcommunity for that matter.”Annan singled out the

regime for blame for the vio-lence. But he also said the op-position’s increasingmilitarization had contributedto dooming his six-point peaceplan, which included a cease-fire and a Syrian-led politicalprocess to end the crisis.“The bloodshed continues,

most of all because of the Syr-ian government’s intransi-gence, and continuing refusalto implement the six-pointplan, and also because of theescalating military campaignof the opposition — all ofwhich is compounded by thedisunity of the internationalcommunity,” he said.“At a time when we need —

when the Syrian people des-perately need action — therecontinues to be finger-point-ing and name-calling in theSecurity Council.”U.N. Secretary-General

Ban Ki-moon said he acceptedthe resignation with deep re-gret, adding that the searchwas under way for a successorto Annan, who will stay onuntil Aug. 31. Diplomacy cansucceed only when “the par-ties to the violence make afirm commitment to dialogue,and when the internationalcommunity is strongly unitedin support,” Ban said in astatement.

Obama, Romney trade barbsGOLDEN, Colo. (AP) — Mitt Romney

promisedThursday that his economic pro-gramwill create 12million new jobs in thenext four years, and likened PresidentBarack Obama to a “dog trying to chaseits tail” when it comes to strengtheningthe sluggish recovery.Firing back instantly, Obama said his

rival favors “trickle-down fairy dust” thathas failed to fix the economy in the past,and unleashed a new television ad with ascathing summation of Romney’s taxplans: “He pays less. You pay more.”The two men campaigned in battle-

ground states hundreds ofmiles apart, theincumbent in Florida, his challenger inColorado, both on amission to convert un-decided voters to their side in a race dom-inated by the economy and highjoblessness.Nor was there any summer lull in the

television ad wars. Americans For Pros-perity, an independent group that backsRomney, intends to launch a $25 millionad campaign beginning next week, ac-cording to officials familiar with thearrangements. The organization wasfounded by David and Charles Koch, bil-lionaire brothers, and has spent about $15million in swing states this year on ads at-tacking Obama.For Romney, the day meant a return to

domestic campaigning after a weeklongoverseas trip. Aides say he intends to dis-close a vice presidential pick before theRepublicanNational Convention opens onAug. 27 in Tampa, Fla., but the former

Massachusetts governor told reporters:“I’ve got nothing to give you” by way of in-formation on his decision.Instead, he unveiled what aides called

Romney’s plan for more jobs and moretake-home pay, backed by an eight-pagepaper arguing that the economic stimu-lus and other policies backed by Obama“exacerbated the economy’s structuralproblems and weakened the recovery …At the present rate of job creation, the na-tion will never return to full employ-ment,” it said, on the eve of the release ofthe government’s official report on Julyjoblessness.Following the release of Friday’s jobs

report, Obama planned to use the back-drop of the White House and surroundhimself with families who would benefitfrom the election yearmiddle-class tax cuthe’s pushing Congress to adopt. “As dys-functional asWashington can be, this fightis far from hopeless,”White House senioradviser David Plouffe said in an email.In remarks in Golden, Colo., Romney

said his economic policies would lead tocreation of 12million jobs in the four yearsof his term, if he is elected, and help makeNorth America energy independent, apledge that aides said included Canadaand Mexico as well as the United States.Romney pledged expanded interna-

tional trade, particularly with LatinAmerica, and vowed to confront Chinaover its own policies. “I’m finally going tosit down with the Chinese and they’regoing to understand that if they cheat

there are going to be consequences, be-cause we’re not going to let them walk allover us,” the formerMassachusetts gover-nor said.He said he would help small business

owners, improve the education systemand cut spending to reduce the deficit, buthe offered relatively few specifics.Romney previously has said he wants

to extend the tax cuts due to expire onDec. 31 and grant a new 20 percent cut intax rates, in addition, to stimulate growth.He has also said he will reverse some ofObama’s proposed defense cuts, and si-multaneously reduce spending on otherprograms in a way that deficits wouldgradually subside.But he so far has refused to identify

which existing tax breaks he would curtailto accomplish his goals, and generallyavoided naming individual programs hewants to cut or eliminate.In his remarks during the day,Romney

said he wants federal education fundsthat aid the disadvantaged and disabledto be tied to the student rather than flowto school districts, as is now the case. Buthe did not specify howmuch he would cutfrom them to achieve his goal of reducingfederal deficits.He also criticized Obama for signing

legislation that cut $500 billion fromMedicare over a decade. Aides said hewould restore the funding, which was re-duced as part of the president’s healthcare bill. But they had no additional de-tails.

Laundry, mowing, butcheringIt is July 30

and 2012 ishalfway overalready. Ahappy fifthbirthday ton e p h e wSteven, Jacoband Emma’sson. I find ithard to believehe will be start-ing school thisfall. Timeseems to go faster everyyear.

It looks like a nice dayto do laundry. Last weekwe had rain every dayMonday through Friday.The rain gave our lawn aboost, so the boys willfinish mowing the grasstoday. It has been quitea few weeks since theyhad to mow it last. Ourthird cutting of hay iscut and we hope to get itin tonight. My husband,Joe, thinks we won’thave enough of our owndue to the dry summer.Hay is very expensive tobuy this year because ofthe drought.

Daughter Susan andVerena are still detassel-ing corn. It is getting tothe end of the detassel-ing season, and they willbe glad once they aredone. They leave at 6a.m. every morning andwork six-day weeks.Last week, with the rain,

their clotheswere wet andthey had muddyshoes when theycame home.

Church serv-ices are set to beat Jacob andEmma’s in twoweeks, so I wantto help her gete v e r y t h i n gcleaned. Shemisses her two

daughters’ help sincethey are detasseling,also. This is a busy timeof the year, with the gar-den to take care of andcanning season reallybeginning. I told Emma Iwill make fresh freezerpickles for her churchlunch.

My cucumbers aredoing very well. Ourgreen beans are comingalong and we have had afew meals with thebeans and also some redbeets.

Joe likes when I makebuttered beets withthem. The boys havebeen digging up potatoeswhenever I need some.Although later thanusual, we are gettingsome nice red potatoes.My squash didn’t comeup, but Emma andJacob’s have been keep-ing us supplied withthem.

Last week, the boys

pulled all my onions out.I didn’t get a good crop ofthose but I am thankfulfor what I did get. Sat-urday, we assistedJacob’s with their work.We did take time off togo watch a parade in anearby town. Webutchered their 18 chick-ens, which did not takeus long with everyonehelping. After the headsare off I don’t mind doingthe rest.

Saturday, we had the18 chickens done in 90minutes. The childrenare getting better atknowing what to do. Joeand Jacob are workingon the new patio thatJacob and Emma arebuilding behind theirhouse. I don’t thinkthose two minded get-ting out of butcheringchickens. DaughtersElizabeth and Susan’sfriends, Timothy andMose, came and helpedus with the butcheringtoo.

We appreciated thempitching in to help, as itmade the work so mucheasier for us.

This week, Lorettahas an appointment twohours away at the chil-dren’s hospital. Herbraces are hurting herfeet and legs, so shedoesn’t wear them any-more because of that.

The doctor didn’t recom-mend more therapyother than what she hasto do at home. Whilegoing to therapy, theycould loosen her mus-cles, but two days laterthey would be tightenedup again.We want to seewhat the doctor’s sugges-tion is to do about thebraces and go fromthere.

I will share a recipe Imade to use some of theyellow squash Emmagave to us. You can addor take away ingredientsto what you prefer:

Antibacterial cleaners can ‘kill’ a septic tankDear Heloise:

Recently, you hadan excellent seg-ment for septic-tank users inyour column.

When we hada new septic tankinstalled severalyears ago, the in-staller cautionedus that excessiveuse of householdant ibac te r ia lcleaning prod-ucts can “kill” a septictank.

There are times whenthe use of antibacterialcleaning products is de-sirable. Most often, justplain soap and water aresufficient for daily clean-

ing jobs. — Bar-bara in Iowa

B a r b a r a ,household anti-bacterial prod-ucts may killsome of the bac-teria in a septicsystem, but itdepends on howyou use theproducts. Nor-mal daily use ina household oftwo to three peo-

ple probably is all right.Using too much of anycleaning product thatkills bacteria is what cancause problems in a septicsystem. — Heloise

TRAVEL HINTDear Heloise: I know

that a lot of people like towrap their toiletries inplastic bags before put-ting them in their luggageto contain spills. I cut asmall section of plasticwrap, place it over theopening of a containerand then screw the lidback on.While the plasticbag is good for containingthe spill, I still don’t wantto lose my shampoo, facewash, etc. This way hasnever failed, and it keepsme from having to switchfrom my brand on trips.— Paulina, via email

FRESH FABRICDear Heloise: I have a

toddler son who loves topull all the wipes out ofthewipe container. I came

up with a simple solutionto save the wipes and stillkeep him entertained. Ikept some containersafter they were emptiedand filled themwith somefabric scraps that I hadlying around the house.Now he can “pull” forhours, and he isn’t wast-ing money. — Kim inTexas

OPINION

To the editor:My husband and I recently visited the Shelby

County Animal Shelter to inquire about adoptinga dog.We had the good fortune to speak withRobin, who had excellent knowledge of the person-ality of every dog currently residing in the shelter.Robin amazed me with her passion for findingeach adoptable dog a home.

Being at the shelter that morning was not a de-pressing affair. It was a feeling of hope and happi-ness as Robin discussed the various dogs’personalities and stories.

Robin is on the front line working with ourcounty’s unwanted, discarded dogs and cats, yetshe is able to carry out her duties in a classy, posi-tive manner.

The people of Shelby County and the elected of-ficials who oversee the functions of the shelter arecertainly blessed to employ such a capable personas Robin.

I would like to express my gratitude to Robinand the volunteers who put in tremendous time,effort and their own money to find the adoptabledogs and cats of Shelby County their “forever”homes. Your efforts are very much appreciated.

To the editor:The citizens of this country are in the middle

of a hard-fought political battle, not just for polit-ical office but for the heart and soul of this na-tion. Two different and very opposite philosophiesare emerging in this confrontation.

The founders of our nation believed that allmen are free and self-governing, that we are “en-dowed by our Creator with certain unalienablerights,” and that the role of government is to se-cure and defend these rights. Our founders feltthat man naturally has a capacity to reason anddiscover a moral law; they felt that these giftswere more valuable than anything governmentcould do for them. The Constitution they wrotecreated a government that encourages independ-ent and hard-working people. They envisioned agovernment that would uphold such characteris-tics as honesty, frugality, industry and patriotism,and would allow each of us to define and find ourown spiritual fulfillment. They believed in thepower of the human spirit and equality of oppor-tunity.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, an-other philosophy of government grew increas-ingly popular in Europe and spread to theuniversities of this nation. It became known asprogressivism, and later liberalism. Progres-sives/liberals are of the opinion that freedom isnot inherent in a human being but is somethingto be achieved, that men become free throughgovernment, and that natural rights do not exist.Progressives/liberals believe it is the moral dutyof government to define and to provide spiritualfulfillment. In a very real sense, government doesnot become a “big brother,” it becomes a parent.The government knows what is best for the gov-erned, and they will give it to the governed oneway or the other, whether they like and want it ornot. In essence, progressive/liberals think thatthe ordinary man cannot know what is best forhim and must be led/forced by the “experts” inthe halls of government. This philosophy believesin the power of government and equality of re-striction.

I am not sure who said this, but I think it wasFrederick Douglass: “Do you believe that man isborn with legs, or do you believe that man needscrutches?”

That is a question to take into the voting boothwith you this November.

To the editor:In 2008, Barack Obama was asked

why he’d increase the capital gainstax rate considering the economygrew and tax revenues increasedevery time the rate fell between 1981and 2008. His response: “Fairness.”The current rate is 15 percent, andObama’s 2013 budget raises it to morethan 20 percent. Our question:WouldAmericans rather have jobs and pros-perity or a “fair” capital gains tax?

It’s easy to create jobs and raisewages by lowering the capital gainsrate. It’s also easy to win votes pledg-ing higher taxes on rich investors.Obama is posturing for re-electionwith a tax increase giving a strongline for rallies, and a long line for un-employment offices.

Raising this rate will also increasethe deficit. Economists predict a 10percent CG rate will raise more rev-enue than any other rate, and for eachpercentage point raised above 10 per-cent, taxes collected decrease.Withthe jobs, stronger economy, and higherwages it creates, lowering the CG ratealso increases revenue from othertaxes. During one of the biggestdeficits and most unstable economiesin decades, Obama’s tax increase willcost jobs and tax revenue.Winningvotes saying “tax the rich” at cam-paign rallies is more important to himthan our future and jobs.

Most acclaimed economists, exceptPaul Krugman, the poster boy of lib-eral economic policy and failed predic-tions, agree raising the capital gainsrate will result in less revenue, higherunemployment, and lower wages.Why? Gains not taxed go in a bank, afund, or a business. Then they’reloaned to an aspiring entrepreneur tocreate a business and hire workers orused to buy bonds from a companylike Honda, who invest to lower pricesand hire workers. This creates jobs,raises standards of living, and cutsspending on unemployment and wel-fare benefits. The Obama campaign isusing this popular tax increase to convotes from people it will harm. In2010, not running for re-election,Obama extended CG rate cuts, sayingan increase would “cripple the econ-omy,” raise unemployment, and stallthe recovery. Now it’s election seasonagain. He’s pushing policy he’s ac-knowledged will hurt people — to buyvotes. Obama values the campaign forkeeping his job over good policy to cre-ate ours.

We don’t need a president more fo-cused on class warfare than Americanjobs. The only purpose of this tax pro-posal is to buy easy votes. “Fairness?”Or more tax revenue, jobs andgrowth? Pick one.

gratulate JohnWagnerand the rest of the Ameri-can Legion Departmentof Ohio Second DistrictExecutive Committeeand all other AmericanLegion volunteers on ajob well done for the firstannual Little LeagueAmerican Legion tourna-ment held July 28-29 inSt.Marys.

Happy reunion

Did you blinkand miss themonth of July? Icertainly did.Mydays were filledwith shuttlingkids to summercamps, libraryactivities andthe swimmingpool.Myevenings werespent moving agarden hosearound outside, trying tokeep my flowers andshrubs alive in spite ofthe drought. I know Iwasn’t alone in thisthankless task. On therare July nights I bravedstanding outside in theheat for more than a fewminutes, I talked tomany neighbors out in-specting their brownlawns.Two topics consis-tently came up in ourconversations: 1. whenMother Nature wouldbless us with rain, and 2.the sinking feeling thatsummer was going toofast.

While many of us were

fortunate to re-ceive rain in lateJuly, there isn’tmuch we can doabout summerflying by.Turn-ing the page onthe calendarfrom July to Au-gust signals thedreaded back-to-school count-down for manyhouseholds. I

saw a school supply dis-play at a store last weekand had a mild panic at-tack in the aisle. Iwanted to stomp my feetand shout “WAIT! Sum-mer’s not over!We aren’tdone having fun yet!”Thankfully, good senseprevailed, and I chan-neled my potential out-burst into somethingnear and dear to myheart – a LIST.

It’s common for peopleto put together a list ofthings they want to ac-complish before they die,known as a “bucket” list.Well, I decided to takethe same approach for

summer and created a“sand bucket” list. I en-listed the help of my chil-dren, and we came upwith several things wewant to do before schoolstarts. Not surprisingly,the items my 6-year oldput on the list all had todo with postponing bed-time, while my preschoolson’s contributions con-sisted mainly of sportsand getting messy.

Is it time to reclaimyour own summer? If youare nodding your head inagreement, put downyour garden hose andpick up a pen. Be cre-ative! The idea is not tospend a ridiculousamount of money doingas many activities as pos-sible. It’s about spendingquality time with familyand friends before home-work and rigid schedulesrule our weekdays. Hereare a few of our family’sideas to jump-start yourown sand bucket list:

1. Have a picnic lunchat a local park.

2. Borrow a constella-

tion book from the li-brary and search forstars in the night sky.

3. Go on a firefly, but-terfly or creepy bug hunt.

4.Attend a county fair.5. Make s’mores

around a campfire.6. Go to a drive-in

movie theater.7.Visit the U.S.Air

Force Museum atWright-Patt (free admis-sion).

8. Go to a DaytonDragons baseballgame.

While our lawns maybe at the mercy ofMother Nature, the restof our summer doesn’thave to be. Take charge,and show the month ofAugust who’s boss!

HOUSTON— JordanAcker, of the communityof Hardin, is the most re-cent local resident toachieve the esteemedrank of Eagle Scout. The17-year-old son of Toddand Marsha Acker is asenior at Houston HighSchool. Acker is a mem-ber of Troop 239 of Hous-ton led by ScoutmasterDan Hemmert.

In deciding on anEagle project, Ackerneeded to look no furtherthan the sign at the en-trance to the recentlyconstructed Hardin-Houston School complex.The area around thesign needed somethingto make the spot moreinviting, so Ackerplanned to do some deco-rative landscaping. Nowthe space is adorned byan assortment of flowers,plants and grass to pre-vent erosion. The workwas just completed sev-eral days ago, with a fin-ishing touch of a layer ofmulch.

Acker was assisted inthe project by otherscouts, his parents, a fel-low Scout’s sister, Hem-mert, and one otherparent who volunteeredto help with the project.Acker and his father

began by applying her-bicide to the space, andthen went over the spoton two different occa-sions with a tiller toproperly prepare thesoil for planting. Nextcame the planting ofdaylilies, junipers andgrass.

To complete an EagleScout project, theprospective Eagle mustsubmit a project plan

and budget for approval.Acker made up an out-line of what would beplanted where, and a listof materials that wouldbe needed. Acker alsohad to do some fundrais-ing, and local businessesand some neighbors andfriends made some dona-tions to the project. He

rounded out the finan-cial needs with his owndonations.

Acker says that hehas been involved inscouting for eight years.He points out that hemost enjoys the outdoorskills that include camp-ing and cooking out-doors.

Russia has new officialsBY TERRYPELLMAN

RUSSIA — Residentsof the Village of Russiahave two new municipalofficials coming onboard. In fact, new Vil-lage Administrator RickSimon began his dutiestwo weeks ago. New po-lice Chief Matthew Sto-bbe will assume hisduties beginning Aug.13.

Simon is already fa-miliar to Russia citizens,as he is a lifelong resi-dent of the area. Simonwill be working 20 hoursor less per week in hisnew capacity. He retiredsix months ago as the as-sistant fire chief for theCity of Sidney, andserved in the depart-ment for more than 30years, so he is alreadywell-versed in matters ofpublic administration.Simon has many years ofexperience in such mat-ters of code enforcement,zoning and general mat-ters relating to publicsafety. Continuity ofservices is his most im-mediate objective. Re-garding his acceptanceof the new position,Simon noted that thehours and the closenessto his residence ap-pealed to him.

The village has com-pleted some significantcapital improvementsover the past severalyears, but Simon expectsno major projects on thehorizon. He says thatsome village resourceswill be put toward streetmaintenance, such asthe work needed on St.Remy Street.

Previously, the villageadministrator was MikeBusse, who is now thevillage administrator forCovington in MiamiCounty. Busse had alsoserved as police chiefand public works direc-tor for Russia. Simonstepped in quickly to be-come familiar with mat-ters relating to thevillage’s water-handlingsystems, including theautomated billingprocess.

Stobbe relates that he

was contacted by Bussewhen the former chiefmade his decision to ac-cept the Covington posi-tion. Stobbe explainsthat Busse felt that Sto-bbe would be a good fitfor the Russia position.Stobbe is a native of Adaand had served in lawenforcement in severalarea communities for 12years. He emphasizesthat he has always en-joyed law enforcementand got his start as anauxiliary officer forLakeview. His first full-time police position wasin the town of West Lib-erty. He later worked inRussells Point.

He was serving as adeputy for the LoganCounty Sheriff ’s Officebut was laid off due tobudget cutbacks. Morerecently, he has servedthe village of Locking-ton.

Stobbe was initiallyinterviewed by a Russiavillage selection commit-tee, and the final hiringdecision was made bythe entire council.

Stobbe is now a Rus-sia resident, as was partof his condition of em-ployment. He says thathe already knew thatRussia would be a goodplace to live. He pointedout that one of thethings he likes about

Russia is that it remindshim of his hometown. Inaddition, he was imme-diately impressed by thehospitality of his newneighbors, some of whomhave stopped by to meethim. That friendly wel-come has even includedhaving some bakedgoods dropped off. Headds that he is im-pressed with the schoolsystem.

The new chief is beingimmediately greeted bya new police cruiser. It iscurrently being pre-pared, and Stobbe notedthat the paint scheme onthe cruiser will be inkeeping with the schoolcolors so proudly dis-played by residentsthroughout the commu-nity.

Stobbe will be a full-time employee of the vil-lage but will devoteapproximately half of histime to non-police duties.A small municipalitysuch as Russia requiresstaff to be able to covervaried duties, so Stobbewill be assisting on pub-lic works needs and willbe involved in such du-ties as snow removal andgrass mowing.

Right now, the villagehas one other full-timeemployee in the personof Mark Chappie, who isprimarily responsible for

public works operationsand maintenance, in-cluding the sewagetreatment system. He isa licensed Water Treat-ment Plant Operatorand has been with thevillage for a number ofyears. There are also twopart-time police officers,and Stobbe is still in theprocess of becoming ac-quainted with everyoneinvolved. He will bemeeting soon with thetwo auxiliary officers. Healso wants to take a lookat policies and proce-dures that have been ineffect. He expects thatfor a little while, therewill be “a learningcurve.”

Stobbe says that hewill serve the village in amanner consistent withits needs. The new chieflooks forward to workingwith the school to pro-mote education on suchsubjects as drugs and al-cohol, and hopes to at-tend more lawenforcement trainingfrom the state.

Stobbe notes that thevillage of Russia has tra-ditionally been a com-munity in which theresidents have not hadto be overly concernedwith the safety of theirfamilies and homes. Hisintention is to keep itjust that way.

LOCAL NEWS Sidney Daily News, Friday, August 3, 2012 Page 10A

DR. WAL-LACE: I reallyneed your help,so please an-swer my letter.My entire fam-ily is overweightbecause we allovereat. I’m a fe-male teen and30 pounds over-weight. I havecome to the con-clusion that it’stime for me tochange my eating andlifestyle patterns imme-diately. Don’t advise meto see a nutritionist. Idon’t have any moneyand what money mymother and her sistermake goes for food. Ipromise to start becom-ing the “new me” the dayI see your response inthe paper. — Nameless,Gary, Ind.

NAMELESS: Thefirst thing you need toremember is that it tooktime for you to gain thisextra weight, and youshould take the time toget rid of it gradually.The healthiest and bestapproach is to safely loseabout one pound of ex-cess weight a week,through a combinationof a varied, well-bal-anced diet and moderateexercise. It took 3,500extra calories to gain onepound of body weight. Doa little research to findout your ideal weightand the number of calo-ries needed daily tomaintain that weight,and then consume 500fewer calories per day.

Teen dieters are en-couraged to start the daywith a nutrition-filledbreakfast. Not only willit get you going in themorning, but breakfastalso should supply youwith one-fourth to one-third of your daily nutri-

tional needs. Byskipping break-fast, you mayfind it difficultto lose weight,since you maybe tempted toovereat later inthe day, oftengrabbing thenearest “junkfood.” Drinkingplenty of fluidsis also neces-sary for good

health. To keep yourbody hydrated and in topworking order, you needto drink eight glasses ofliquid a day. Mineralwater and club soda aregood calorie-free, thirst-quenchers. But to addimportant nutrients toyour diet, try unsweet-ened green tea or fruitjuices, skim milk ortomato juice, all of whichare deliciously low incalories.

Many dieters findsnacks between meals tobe their downfall. A goodway to avoid this is toplan ahead by choosingseveral tasty, low-calorietreats to have on hand atall times. If you choosetasty, low-calorie treats,snacking can actually bequite healthy and helpsyou resist overeating thewrong foods. Dark greenand yellow or orangevegetables are filledwith vitamins, so trysnacking on cut-up rawbroccoli, carrots and zuc-chini. Instead of a cookieor candy, fill up onwhole-wheat crackersand a wedge of low-fatcheese, which is a goodsource of much neededcalcium. And of course,fresh fruit is always agood snack. Exercise alsoshould figure promi-nently in your fitnessshapeup. But there’s noneed to begin a strenu-

ous workout program inthe beginning. Simplytry walking to school at abrisk pace, taking thestairs instead of an ele-vator, walking the dog,or jumping rope or run-ning in place while youwatch TV. Studies showthat exercising after ameal speeds up your me-tabolism, allowing yourbody to burn calorieseven faster than if you’dworked out on an emptystomach. For example, abrisk 20-minute walkafter dinner can reallyhelp keep you fit, and a30-minute run can burnoff 300 calories — theequivalent of an aver-age-size cheeseburger.You may even want toinvite family members tojoin you for a walk. Itcould be a good opportu-nity to share somehealthy eating informa-tion with them. As yougain stamina, you canwork your way into amore strenuous workout.Maintaining an exercisehabit will also help youmaintain your healthyweight when you achieveyour goal. Young lady,I’ve done my part. Nowit’s up to you to do yours.And I know you will! Letme hear from you in afew weeks to see howyou are progressing.

New diagnosis raises questions

Husband’s letters to old flame fuel widow’s anger

DEAR DR.DONOHUE: Foryears, my doctortreated me forarthritis. Nowhe’s done anabout-face andsays I have some-thing calledmixed connectivetissue disease.What happenedto my arthritis? Ifeel like I havewasted years onthe wrong treat-ment. Care to comment?— R.J.

ANSWER: Your storyis classic for mixed con-nective tissue disease,MCTD. The connectivetissues support the body,serve as the body’s scaf-fold and act as packingmaterial. Ligaments, ten-dons, joints, cartilage andbones are connective tis-sues. Collagen is a pro-tein common to thesetissues. Rheumatoidarthritis, lupus, sclero-derma, polymyositis anddermatomyositis are theconnective tissue disor-ders. In the early days of

MCTD, patientsalmost always aretold they haveone of those fiveillnesses.The symptoms

of MCTD includemuscle and jointpain and fatigue.Most patientshave Raynaud’sp h e n omen o n .Upon exposure tocold, the arteriesthat supply thehands turn white,

blue and red, and hurt.The arteries have con-stricted in an exagger-ated way in response tocold. Raynaud’s also isseen in the other connec-tive-tissue disorders.Later inMCTD, hands

swell and fingers becomepuffy. That’s a sign thathelps distinguish MCTD.What helps to finally

hit on the diagnosis ofMCTD is finding aunique antibody in theblood of patients. It’soften not present fromthe start of the illness.Treatment medicines

are hydroxychloroquine

and methotrexate. Whenneed be, prednisone, oneof the cortisone drugs, isprescribed.Most patientswith MCTD respond to itvery well.Your doctor did a great

job in finally making thediagnosis. It takes doctorsyears before they canpiece the puzzle ofMCTDtogether. It’s an elusiveillness.

DEAR DR. DONO-HUE: My grandson, age10, had a sore throat, ahigh temperature andbroke out in a red rash.My daughter took the boyto the emergency room.The doctors admitted himto the hospital.Within 24hours, they had diag-nosed him as havingscarlet fever. Is this simi-lar to rheumatic fever?From my childhood days,I remember rheumaticfever as being a seriousproblem, and it often leftthe child with a damagedheart. — K.S.

ANSWER: The strepgerm, Streptococcus,causes scarlet fever, rheu-

matic fever, strep throatand a host of other dis-eases. These illnesses dif-fer from each other inmany ways.You can think of scar-

let fever as strep throatwith a skin rash. Therash pops up on the firstor second day of illness. Itstarts on the head, face,neck and chest, andspreads to the arms.Giveaway signs of scarletfever are paleness aroundthe mouth and a tonguethat turns quite red andmakes it look like astrawberry. If you runyour hand over the rash,the skin feels like sand-paper.Penicillin cures scarlet

fever. For reasons notwell understood, the inci-dence of scarlet fever hasdropped off.Rheumatic fever, an-

other strep infection, ismore serious. It can causeheart damage and heart-valve damage. It, too, isnot as prevalent as itonce was, but there havebeen recent outbreaks ofit in the United States.

DEAR ABBY:My husband diedrecently in a firehe started in adrunken ram-page. In the af-termath I am leftwith feelings ofextreme sadnessand rage.Last night I

was goingthrough a box ofhis belongingsand found some old let-ters he had written to awoman he’d left me for 20years ago. (We patchedthings up and then weremarried later.) I didn’twant to read them, but inthe first letter I caughtthe sentence, “You arethe only woman I’ve evermet who truly changed

me.” I immedi-ately tore it toshreds. Therewere others, but Itossed everythingin the box intothe trash. I could-n’t put myselfthrough the pain.For months, I

have tried todwell only on thehappy times wehad together and

the love that, in spite ofhis alcoholism, we hadfor each other. Perhaps Icould have dealt withthese letters while myhusband was still alive,but now I can only stewin my own anger.I don’t want to do this

to myself. I have been intherapy and at Al-Anon,

but I feel as though Ineed other tools at thispoint to get me throughthis awfulness. —WIDOW IN ST. LOUIS

DEAR WIDOW:Please accept my condo-lences for the loss of yourhusband. I’m sure youhave many reasons to beangry, and those lettersare among the least ofthem.Try to think ration-

ally about what the let-ter said. That they werein his possession proba-bly means they werenever mailed, and it’slikely they were writtenwhile he was drunk. Asto the woman having“changed” him, from theway he died it doesn’tappear he changed a lot.

You have your lifeahead of you. If youchoose to waste yourprecious time lookingback over your shoulderand cursing a dead man,of course that’s yourchoice. But if you wantto break this cycle of de-structive thinking, thequickest way to do itwould be to contact yourtherapist for a “realitycheck.”

CINCINNATI REDS’ Todd Frazier (21) points to the crowd after he hit a two-run home run off San Diego Padres starting pitcherRoss Ohlendorf in the second inning of a baseball game Thursday in Cincinnati. Reds' Scott Rolen is at left.

CINCINNATI (AP) —ToddFrazier and the CincinnatiReds geared up for their bigweekend series against thePittsburgh Pirates — yes, thePirates — by pounding theSan Diego Padres.

Frazier hit a two-runhomer in a six-run second in-ning and Johnny Cueto over-came a pair of rare long ballsto pitch into the eighth inningThursday, leading the surgingReds to their 13th win in 14games, 9-4 over the Padres.

“You want to have big in-nings every game,” Fraziersaid. “We had the big six-runsecond, and everybody con-tributed. We batted around.”

Scott Rolen had three hits,Frazier had three RBIs andJay Bruce drove in two runs,helping push the Reds to 23games over .500 (64-41) forthe first time since Sept. 4,2010.

The Reds scored a com-bined 35 runs while takingthree of four from San Diegoand have won 20 of 23. Theyare 14-3 since All-Star firstbaseman Joey Votto left thelineup with a knee injury thatrequired surgery and havewon two straight since starsecond baseman BrandonPhillips was sidelined with astrained left calf.

Reds manager Dusty Bakerwas relieved the offensepicked it up.

“We needed it,” he said.“(The Padres) scored a lot ofruns. They came in hereswinging the bats good.You dowhat you need to do to scoreat least one more run thanthem.”

Cueto (14-5), who gave uphome runs for the first time inmore than two months, al-lowed eight hits and four runswith one walk. He also tiedhis season high with ninestrikeouts in 7 1-3 inningswhile winning his career-highfifth consecutive start. He washurt by leaving a couple ofbreaking balls up, catcherRyan Hanigan said.

“He pitched well,” Hanigansaid. “He wasn’t as dominantas he can be, but he did a goodjob managing the game.”

Cincinnati opened a 31/2game lead over idle Pitts-

burgh in the NL Centralheading into a three-gameweekend series between thetwo teams that is scheduled tostart Friday.

San Diego catcher EddyRodriguez enjoyed a memo-rable major league debut, hit-ting a home run in his firstplate appearance, but thePadres couldn’t avoid theirthird straight loss and fifth intheir last six games.

“It was amazing,” Ro-driguez said. “It was every-thing, more than I expected.The goal at the end is to get a‘W’ but it was a great experi-ence, something that I will re-member for the rest of mylife.”

The Reds chased Padresstarter Ross Ohlendorf whilesending 12 batters to the plateduring a six-hit, six-run sec-ond inning. Rolen started itwith an infield hit. Frazier fol-lowed with his 13th homerand second in three games, a408-foot drive into the leftfield seats.

Hanigan added an RBI

double and Bruce had a bases-loaded, two-run single. Ohlen-dorf (3-2) also was called for arun-scoring balk before leav-ing after just 1 2-3 innings,the shortest outing by a SanDiego starter this season.

Rodriguez, a former Redsminor leaguer who also hasplayed in independentleagues, smacked a 1-2 pitch416 feet into the left fieldseats for the first home run al-lowed by Cueto in 80 innings— the longest stretch in themajors this season — over 11starts since Colorado’s ToddHelton homered on May 25 inCincinnati. The homer wasthe first by a right-hander al-lowed by Cueto since Wash-ington’s Ryan Zimmerman hitone onAug. 17, 2011, a span of169 innings.

Chase Headley cut Cincin-nati’s lead in half with a two-run single later in the inning,and Cameron Maybin addedhis sixth homer, a 423-footsolo shot to left with one outin the fourth inning. But theReds increased their lead to 8-

4 on RBI singles by Rolen andZack Cozart in the bottom ofthe inning.

San Diego manager BudBlack couldn’t complain aboutthe San Diego offense.

“I like the way we swungthe bats,” he said. “We’ve gotto get to that point that weput pressure on the oppositionevery inning. That’s everyteam’s challenge. I do like thefact that, when we’ve gottenbehind, we do come back. Wehave to sustain innings toscore some runs, but therewas the other end. Cueto is14-5 for a reason.”

NOTES: The two teamscombined to scored 52 runs inthe four-game series. ... Forthe second time in four games,the Padres set a season highfor hits and runs allowed inone inning. They gave up fiveof each in the third inning ofTuesday’s game they endedup losing 7-6. ... San Diegowent 3-7 on their fourth roadtrip of 10 or more games thisseason.The Padres open a six-game homestand Friday withthe first of three against theMets. ... Reds RHP Nick Mas-set was scheduled to pitch aninning for Class-A Daytonduring a rehab assignment.Masset has been on the dis-abled list since spring train-ing with a sprained rightshoulder.

LONDON (AP) — KaylaHarrison (of Middletown) took

her spot atop themedal stand, de-termined not tocry during thenational anthem.

She was intears after onenote.

On this day,emotion was theonly thing she

could not beat.America finally has an

Olympic judo champion — a22-year-old from Ohio whowas sexually abused by a for-mer coach as a child, becamea self-described “teenagepunk” who hated everythingabout her sport and thenfound a way to turn every-thing around.

Harrison took the final stepin the journey Thursday. Shebeat Britain’s Gemma Gib-bons 2-0 for the gold medal inthe women’s under 78-kilo-gram division.

“Kind of just reflectingback on my life. Everythingit’s taken to get here, andeverything that I’ve gonethrough,” Harrison said. “I’mAmerica’s first gold medalistin judo — and always will be.”

Not only did she end Amer-ica’s 0-for-forever Olympictitle drought in judo, but shedid it in an arena whereBritish flags were flyingwildly. Gibbons was a surprisefinalist, spurred by a crowdthat chanted her name inevery match.

Even that wasn’t enough totake down Harrison.

“Kayla was a great com-petitor,” Gibbons said. “She isa very deserved winner.”

With Russian PresidentVladimir Putin, himself ablack belt and the honorarypresident of the InternationalJudo Federation, and BritishPrime Minister DavidCameron among those in theVIP section, Harrison neverceded control of the final.

She had to rally from be-hind in her quarterfinalmatch, then topped world No.1 Mayra Aguiar of Brazil inthe semifinals.

That left only Gibbons inher way.

“It was meant to be,” saidHarrison’s coach, JimmyPedro, a two-time Olympicbronze medalist. “This is yourdestiny, Kayla Harrison. Thisis your destiny.”

Russia’s Tagir Khaibulaevwon the men’s 100-kilogramgold medal. Khaibulaev de-feated defending Beijingchampion TuvshinbayarNaidan of Mongolia with amatch-ending ippon throw.

Putin immediately stood toapplaud, and moments laterwalked over to shake Khaibu-laev’s hand.

“It was clear that he wasvery pleased,”Khaibulaev said.

Men’s bronze medals wentto Dimitri Peters of Germanyand Henk Grol of the Nether-lands. In the women’s eventThursday, Aguiar and AudreyTcheumeo of France each wonbronze.

Pedro, who has spent a life-time chasing Olympic gold,gave Harrison the same peptalk on Thursday over andover again. He said she musthave heard it 150 timesthroughout the day:

“There’s one girl in front ofyou.That’s all we worry aboutis that one girl. Are you betterthan her? Are you strongerthan her? Are you tougherthan her? Yeah?Well, then, gobeat her — because she’s inyour way to be an Olympicchampion. Today, Kayla Har-rison, nobody is going to beatyou. Today, you will make his-tory. Today, Kayla Harrison isan Olympic champion.”

It worked.“Never give up on your

dreams,” Harrison said. “Imean, if I can do it, anybodycan do it. Things have hap-pened, but now, my life is adream.”

TOM WITHERSAP Sports Writer

Here’s one to makeCleveland fans shaketheir heads: A partialowner of the hated Pitts-burgh Steelers is buyingthe Browns.Randy Lerner has

reached a deal to sell theclub to Tennessee truck-stop magnate JimmyHaslam III — a minoritystockholder in the rivalSteelers.Lerner will sell 70

percent of the Browns toHaslam now, with theother 30 percent revert-ing to him four yearsafter the closing date, aperson with knowledgeof the sale told The Asso-ciated Press on conditionof anonymity becausedetails have not officiallybeen announced.“This is a very excit-

ing time for my familyand me,” Haslam saidthrough the team.“To own such a storied

franchise as the Cleve-land Browns, with itsrich tradition and his-tory, is a dream cometrue. We are committedto keeping the team inCleveland and seeing itget back to the elite ofthe NFL — somethingall Browns fans wantand deserve.”

Haslam scheduled anews conference atBrowns headquarters forFriday afternoon.While the papers have

been signed, the NFLstill must approve thesale. Getting the nodfrom 24 of the 32 teamsis required, and no datehas been set for a votebecause the sale has notbeen presented to theleague yet. The personwith knowledge of thesale said approval is ex-pected by the end of Sep-tember.ESPN reported the

sale price was more than$1 billion. For compari-son, the Miami Dolphinssold at a value of morethan $1 billion in 2009.

The Browns were val-ued at $977 million lastyear by Forbes maga-zine, 20th in the NFL.Asked if he was sur-

prised by the deal, teamPresident Mike Holm-gren said: “On one hand,the surprising part wasthe time of the year. Butin this business, I gaveup being surprised along time ago.”Lerner, whose family

has owned the franchisesince it returned to theNFL in 1999, first an-nounced he was in nego-tiations to sell the clublast week. The late AlLerner, Randy’s father,purchased the franchisefrom the NFL in 1998 for$530 million after theoriginal Browns movedto Baltimore in 1996 andbecame the Ravens. Theelder Lerner died in2002.Randy Lerner also is

the owner of Aston Villa,a club in the EnglishPremier League.The expansion

Browns entered the NFLin 1999 and have madethe playoffs just once, a2002 first-round loss tothe Pittsburgh Steelers.They’ve had only twowinning records in 13seasons and are 68-140since they returned.Even with a string of

failures on the field, thevalue of the Browns —like other NFL fran-chises — keepsincreasing, boosted bybroadcast income. Theleague agreed in Decem-ber to nine-year con-tracts with CBS, Foxand NBC that runthrough the 2022 seasonand will boost revenuefrom the $1.93 billionlast season to $3.1 bil-lion by 2022. The NFLreached an eight-yearextension with ESPNlast year through the2021 season that in-creases the rights feefrom $1.1 billion to $1.9billion annually.Haslam has been a

minority investor in theSteelers since 2008, andis the president andCEO of Pilot Flying J,the largest operator oftravel centers and travelplazas in North America.He is the older brother ofTennessee Gov. BillHaslam.According to a 2010

profile on Steelers.com,Haslam has been a Dal-las Cowboys and then anIndianapolis Colts fan.But with the Pittsburghinvestment, Haslam saidhe had become “1,000percent a Steelers fan.”The Haslam brothers

are supporters of the

University of Tennessee,where their father JimHaslam played tackle onthe 1951 national cham-pionship football teamunder Gen. Robert R.Neyland, who built theVolunteers into a foot-ball powerhouse.The elder Haslam

founded the Pilot Corp.in 1958 with a single gasstation in Gate City, Va.He credits sons Bill andJimmy with expandingthe chain from mostlygas stations and conven-ience stores to a “travelcenter” concept of truckstops featuring brandedfast food service.As for Haslam possi-

bly moving the fran-chise, Holmgrenemphatically added,“The Cleveland Brownsaren’t going anywhere.”But the current staff

might be if the Brownsdon’t do better than the4-12 record of 2011, PatShurmur’s first seasonas coach. New ownersusually bring in theirown management team,although Shurmur hasimpressed many peoplearound the league.“I have no fear about

any of that because Itrust my coaches, I trustthe players and I’vewatched the workthey’ve done based on

the conversation of thislast week,” Shurmursaid Thursday. “I thinkwe’re moving full steamahead. That doesn’tbother me one bit at thispoint at this point. Myconcern is getting thisteam ready to play andour players understandthat message and theyare doing a good job.”Holmgren would not

address his future withthe Browns.“Honestly, my focus is

to have guys here con-centrating on football,making it business asusual,” he said. “Thewhat ifs and hypotheti-cals, I have to stay awayfrom.”Haslam would be the

sixth majority owner ofthe Browns: teamfounder Mickey McBride(1945-1953), DavidJones (1953-1961), ArtModell (1961-1995), AlLerner (1998-2002), andRandy Lerner (2002-pre-sent). An NFL trust alsooversaw the inactivefranchise from 1996-1998.Cleveland last won

the NFL championshipin 1964, beating JohnnyUnitas and the then-Bal-timore Colts 27-0.The Browns have

never been to the SuperBowl.

Major Leagues

AKRON, Ohio (AP) —Jim Furyk made a de-tour to Florida to sit onhis back porch and hangout with his kids as hetried to figure out whydecent golf was produc-ing ordinary scores. Theshort break appeared todo him a world of goodThursday in the Bridge-stone Invitational.With seven birdies

and a 30-foot eagle putt,Furyk had a 7-under 63for his best score ever atFirestone and a two-shotlead over Lee Slattery ofEngland.The conditions could

not have been more idealwith sunshine, heat andvery little wind, alongwith carpet for fairwaysand smooth greens. Itshowed in some of the teeshots on the SouthCourse — 58 drives of atleast 350 yards, and a427-yarder by BrandenGrace of South Africa ‚Äîandmostly in the scoring.Luke Donald, the

world’s No. 1 player, andMasters championBubba Watson wereamong those at 66.Thirty players in the 78-man field at this WorldGolf Championshipmanaged to break par.Tiger Woods was not

among them. He was 3under after back-to-backbirdies to start the backnine, but had to lay upwith his third shot onthe par-5 16th after driv-ing into the trees andended his round with a

three-putt bogey from 25feet for a 70. It was hissecond-worst start atFirestone, a coursewhere he has won seventimes. The other was a74 in 2010, his last weekwithout a swing coach.“I think I averaged

about four putts per hole,so it was a great day onthe greens,” said Woods,who lost his touch on thegreens but at least kepthis sarcasm.Since missing out on a

chance to win the U.S.Open, Furyk has tied for34th in two tournamentsand missed two cuts, in-cluding last week inCanada. For a guy who is15th in the Ryder Cupstandings — even a winthis weekwould notmakehim eligible for the U.S.team — this was no timeto be stuck in neutral.So when he had an-

other weekend off afterrounds of 70-70 at theCanadian Open, he flewhome for three days.“I think more than

anything I needed a lit-tle time to clear myhead,” Furyk said. “Itwasn’t anything thatwas going wrong, (but)why I wasn’t playing bet-ter. I just felt like Ineeded to come in hereand quit concentratingon trying to be so me-chanically sound andjust go play some golfand try to score and getthe ball in the hole a lit-tle bit.”

HOW U.S. ATHLETES FARED WEDNESDAY

LONDON (AP) —Just 14, Gabby Douglaspleaded with her motherto let her move crosscountry, certain a newcoach could help her getto the Olympics.Not two years after

setting out on her own,Douglas beat Russia’sViktoria Komova for theall-around title Thurs-day night, becoming thethird straight U.S. ath-lete to win gymnastics’biggest prize and thefirst African-Americanto do so. It was her sec-ond gold medal of theLondon Games, comingtwo nights after she andher “Fierce Five” team-mates gave the UnitedStates its first Olympictitle since 1996.“It feels amazing to be

the Olympic champion,”Douglas said.Puts her in a special

category, too. Mary LouRetton, Carly Pattersonand Nastia Liukin arethe only other Ameri-cans to win the Olympicall-around gold.The Americans have

been looking for their“next Mary Lou” sinceshe won in 1984, and

now they’ve got her inthe 16-year-old Douglas.Throw in her adorable“Flying Squirrel” nick-name and sweet back-story, and Douglas’ two

gold medals certainlywon’t be her only riches.“I haven’t thought

about that,” Douglassaid. “I just wanted toseize the moment. Youhave to learn how toenjoy the moment.”Her smile alone is

enough to dazzle Madi-son Avenue, and her per-sonality is bigger thanshe is.She’s even managed

to make Oprah Winfreycry. Douglas had barelygotten off the medalsstand when the talkshow maven said onTwitter that she was “soTHRILLED for Gabby.Flowing happy tears!!”Coach Liang Chow

told Douglas the gold washers after an electrifyingfloor routine, but she hadto wait another five min-utes until it was official.That’s because Komova,runner-up at last year’sworld championships,was still to come.Komova’s floor rou-

tine was impressive, aswell. Finished, she stoodat the center of thearena staring intently atthe scoreboard, finger-tips pressed to her lips,

teammate Aliya Musta-fina rubbing her shoul-der. When the finalstandings flashed, Ko-mova dropped her headand headed to the side-lines, tears falling.Mustafina and Aly

Raisman finished withidentical scores of59.566, but the Russiangot the bronze on atiebreak. The lowestscores for both gymnastswere dropped, and theremaining three were to-taled. That gave Musta-fina a total of 45.933 andRaisman 45.366.“I’m still upset because

I could have been goldand I didn’t get it,” saidKomova, her silvermedalburied in the pocket ofher warm-up jacket.Douglas, meanwhile,

was grinning ear to ear.Up in the stands, hermother,Natalie Hawkins,embraced her childrenand then shared a longhug with Missy Parton,whose family took Dou-glas in after shemoved toWest Des Moines, Iowa,and now counts her asone of their own.“She inspires me,”

Hawkins said, referring to

her champion. “To keep ittogether in that momentwhen it meant so muchsays a lot about her.”When Douglas first

told her mother shewanted to move to trainwith Chow, who coachedShawn Johnson,Hawkins was deadsetagainst it. A singlemother, she couldn’t up-root her family, and therewas no way she was goingto allow her youngestchild go off by herself.But Douglas’ two

older sisters lobbied onher behalf, giving theirmother a list of reasonswhy Gabby should be al-lowed to move. The onlyreason to stay: Theywould miss her.The move was hard on

Douglas, too. Though thePartons treat her liketheir fifth daughter andare now so close toHawkins they may aswell be related, Douglasmissed her family andher dogs. As recently asJanuary, she second-guessed her decision.But she also knew Chowand his wife, Li Zhuang,could get her where shewanted to go.

The Fairlawn High Schoolathletic complex is a “cooler”place thanks to the efforts ofBoy Scout Alex Burdiss.

Alex’s Eagle Scout projectwas to build a 14-by-16-footshelter house beside the con-cession stand.

“I decided on this projectbecause there is almost noshade out by the softballfield,” Burdiss said.

Alex, 14, the son of Marcand Kristie Burdiss, is amember of Boy Scout Troop1910. He will be a freshmanat Fairlawn this comingschool year.

In scouting for nine years,Alex was in Cub Scouts aboutfive years, and then advancedto Boy Scouts.

“I got started with scoutingwhen the district recruitercame to our school in firstgrade,” he said.

“I got involved with scout-ing because it looked reallyfun,” Alex said. “We used to doa lot of cool things as CubScouts, but as Boy Scouts, wehave a lot more fun. Some ofmy favorite activities as ascout are going camping andrifle shooting.”

In addition to his EagleScout project, Alex hasworked many service hours atplaces such as the recyclingcenter and the Shelby CountyFair.

“For the Family Life meritbadge, I put in a flagpole inour front yard and help keepit maintained throughout theyear,” he said.

In carrying out his EagleScout project, Alex learned

how to overcome several prob-lems. At times, he didn’t haveenough people to help himand at other times, too many.He determined he had thewrong materials, and had toget new materials. He had toget more materials when herealized he didn’t haveenough. Then, he ended upwith too many materials. Butthey didn’t go to waste. He do-nated them to Mason Huel-skamp, who will be buildingthe next shelter house atFairlawn. Extra effort alsowas required to make surethe shelter house was level.

Alex said it took a total of48 hours (10 work days) tocomplete the project. A totalof about 260 man-hours wereput in. Alex personally put in58 hours on the project. Theproject budget was $2,000. Itcame in under budget at$1,866.95 and was paid forcompletely by the Fairlawnboosters, he said.

“My experiences as a scoutshould help me in the futurebecause I have learned lead-ership, communication, publicspeaking and a diverse set ofskills,” said Alex, who plans toattend college to study engi-

neering and music perform-ance. “I believe that my expe-riences as a scout will helpme be a better citizen to thecommunity.”

Besides Boy Scouts, musicand sports are a big part ofAlex’s life.

“I am a self-taught bassplayer, guitar player anddrumset player,” he said. “Itake piano lessons, and playtrombone for musicals occa-sionally. I sing tenor for theschool’s choir and play tubafor the school’s band. I amalso on the school’s soccerteam.”

The Microsoft lease agreement in theamount of $17,254 was approved and aplatemaker for the design and digital printtechnologies program was purchased for$68,700.

Due to decreased enrollment, a reduction-in-force resolution was adopted for one scienceinstructor position.

The following resignations were acceptedby the board: Jennifer Cross, family and con-sumer science instructor; Kevin Geise, busdriver; Jennifer Hobbs, cosmetology instructor;

and Jackie Phillips, med tech paraprofes-sional.

The board approved an Adult Divisioncontract with Karen Husa to teach sign lan-guage courses to high school students for anamount not to exceed $43,197 and approveda $75-per-hour contract with Amy Twarekfor interim treasurer duties during themonth of August.

PIQUA — Following anextensive search, EdisonCommunityCollege hasnamed as-sistant pro-fessor ofmathemat-ics NaomiLouis asthe interimDean ofArts andSciences.

Louis officially took overthe position Wednesday.Louis, who has taught at Edi-son for three years, came tothe college to be an assistantprofessor of mathematicsafter teaching as an adjunctin Virginia for several yearsat various universities, in-cluding Old Dominion Uni-versity, and as a full-timeprofessor at New Horizons

Regional Educational CenterGovernor’s School for Scienceand Technology. She has beenteaching in mathematics atthe college level since 2001.Louis attended State Univer-sity of New York at Potsdam,receiving her bachelor’s andmaster’s degrees there.

“This definitely an oppor-tunity to serve the studentsat the college on a completelydifferent level,” Louis said.“I’ve been teaching for quitesome time now and this issuch a different sphere of in-fluence that I have to helpmove the college forward in apositive direction.”

Edison’s associate of artsand associate of science de-grees permit a student tocomplete the first two yearsof study for nearly any bac-calaureate major and totransfer to a four-year insti-

tution if desired. Edison’stransfer courses parallelthose courses that comprisethe first two years of a bache-lor’s degree. Both provide anexcellent academic back-ground for students pursuingcareers in fields such as sci-ence, business, technologyand education.

Additional degree pro-grams within arts and sci-ences include economics,mathematics, history andpsychology.

“I’m hoping to help the di-vision here on campus be-come more cohesive andbuild that positive team envi-ronment that we really strivefor here at Edison,” sheadded.

Louis’ husband Michael,works at Wright-PattersonAir Force Base . She has astepson, John.
