Rain sprin-kles subsidedshortly beforethe opening cere-mony began asthe sun came outand lower tem-peratures in the mid-70s witha slight breeze welcomed anaudience of about 75.

It was a far cry from thetypical, sweltering Augustheat often associated with thefair, and weather forecastsappear optimistic for what fair

officials hope will be a greatfair week.

Miami County Com-missioner John “Bud” O’Brienwelcomed and thanked every-one in attendance for helpingjump-start this year’s fairwith an opening ceremonythat featured a color guard,horse riders and a flag-rais-ing.

“I want to thank you all forcoming out to the opening cer-emonies,” O’Brien said. “I urgeyou all to tell your friends andneighbors to come out to thefair this week.”

O’Brien even commentedon the good weather.

“This week looks great,”O’Brien said to those in thegrandstands. “Just don’t lookbehind you.”

In the distance, heavy grayclouds looked foreboding, butthe weather remained “justright” on Friday, though spot-ted showers came down at thefairgrounds later in the after-noon.

O’Brien introduced severalother representatives fromlocal, county and state govern-ment at the ceremony, includ-ing 79th District State Rep.Richard Adams and 5thDistrict State Sen. BillBeagle, among others such as

For the past 19 years,the Troy Mayors’ Concertwas organized by founderBruce George, an ardentsupporter of the DaytonPhilharmonic ConcertBand and former memberof the Dayton Phil-harmonic Orchestra. Withhis passing, this year’s20th concert — hosted at 7p.m. Sunday, Aug. 19, atHobart Arena — will bededicated in his honor.

“He was our guidinglight for years,” said DavePinkerton, who took overthe reins as president. “Heis remembered fondly bythe band and chorus.”

Pinkerton recallsGeorge working in the sunall afternoon when theevent was on the PublicSquare, directing the setupof chairs, stage, choir ris-ers, handicapped parkingand signs for dignitaries.So engrossed in the setup,George finally noticed justbefore the concert that hewas still in his workclothes. He also was knownfor encouraging attendancewherever he went.

Donning silversequined tops, black cow-boy hats and white gloves,the Renegade Cowgirlsequestrian drill team per-formed several routines atthe Miami County Fair onFriday afternoon, weavingin and out in unison to thebeat of music and thesound of a whistle.

Terry Calvert of Troycame out to watch herdaughter Samantha — a 4-

H member and theyoungest performer at age19.

“It’s kind of like syn-chronized swimming,except on the ground,” hermother said, adding, “It’ssuch a windy day, theyalmost need to have theirhats glued on.”

Watching the patrioticopening from the stands,Calvert commented thatcarrying the flags of theArmed Forces is a difficult

feat — not to men-tion it’s all done inunison. While theother riders congre-gated in the center,Jen Moore rodearound the perime-ter, presenting a largeAmerican flag.

“That’s in and of itselfvery impressive. Horsesdon’t tend to like flags, so tohave them flapping likethat — it’s pretty good,”Calvert said.

The team of about 10women — with only eightparticipating Friday — per-

form at rodeos, horseshows, parades,expos, demonstra-tions and competi-tions.

During the show,captain April

Vastbinder, 50, ofCasstown demonstratedhow to train horses andacclimate them to being soclose to one another dur-ing different routines,including “the pasture”and “thread the needle.”She also explained the

through the multiple sam-ples of candy and otherhomemade delights.“It’s just fun to watch,”

Bryant said as Yoderrequested another sampleof fudge to fine-tune herwinning choice. “(Yoder)asks for repeats a lot.”“She is slicing and dic-

ing and I’m eating!” Yodersaid as she took notes ofeach piece of fudge thatwas handed to her byBryant.Yoder, an avid candy

maker herself, also wasassisted by KarenHoneyman. Honeymanwill judge strawberry and

refrigerated pies later onat the fair.“I really enjoy the peo-

ple I get to work with,”Honeyman said. “It’s achallenge to pick the rightone.”Honeyman also serves

as a judge at other countyfairs and have been theblue ribbon taste tester formore than 14 years.“I’m just at the fair a

lot,” Honeyman said. “Afterawhile, it does get hard.”Honeyman also shared

the hazards of being a foodjudge over the years.“I did break a tooth on a

eggshell that was in acheesecake at anothercounty fair once,”

Honeyman said with alaugh “I even tried anotherbite and got another shell.”Honeyman did share

there is one pie in particu-lar that her diverse tastebuds have never quiteaccepted.“Custard pie — I just

don’t like it; there’s some-thing about it,” Honeymansaid, shaking her head.“But I get it down with asmile.”For a first-year judge,

Yoder said anything thatcomes her way is a win-ner.“I love it all!” Yoder

said as she made her finalblue ribbon selection offudge.

Vastbinder elaborated onthe techniques.“If you can see horses’

hocks (knees), that’s one-horse spacing. For two-horse spacing — there real-ly is no set measure,”Vastbinder said, addingthat performers often haveto gauge distance simply

by comparing their positionwith the other riders.Jane Rittenhouse, 54, of

New Carlisle, has per-formed with the RenegadeCowgirls for about a year,riding Cali, a horse rescuedfrom Last Chance Corral.“I’ve been riding since

(age) 9. This is the mostfun you can have,”Rittenhouse said. “We werea little slower out herebecause we were showinghow we do it, but whenwe’re out there competing— it’s fast and furious.”

As the newest memberof the drill team,Cedarville resident SusanCrumrine, 42, said the keyis practice, practice, prac-tice.“It’s hard enough to get

one horse in line, but to getone whole team — it takesa lot of learning,”Crumrine said. She addedlightheartedly, “The horsesseem to learn faster thanthe humans do.”For more information

The board likes the soundin the arena, having noweather worries and theair conditioning,”Pinkerton said. “Factorswe’ll consider for moving

and community leaders,as well as interested resi-dents, are invited toattend a special Oil andGas Leasing IssuesBriefing, sponsored by theMiami County FarmBureau. The briefing willbe held at theConservation Area at theMiami CountyFairgrounds at 6:30 p.m.Tuesday, Aug. 14.Prior to the meeting,

Dale Arnold will be in theConservation Area from 1-5 p.m. to answer any ques-tions on wind or gas andoil leases.The program will be

facilitated by Ohio FarmBureau Federation(OFBF) director for energyservices, Dale Arnold.“Long-term energy

demand and new drillingtechnology have sparkedinterest in tapping intothe Marcellus and UticaShale deposits in parts ofeastern and central Ohio,”Arnold said.It is estimated that

methane and methane liq-uids in these deposits canaddress major require-ments for fuel for severaldecades. New drilling tech-nology, production require-ments and marketdemands are translatingto newer, and increasinglycomplex leasing agree-ments.

“Many draft agree-ments covering lease obli-gations between individ-ual landowners, aggrega-tion groups, negotiationagents, and/or energycompanies are much dif-ferent that those used inthe 1990s or before,”Arnold explained.“Landowners need to askkey questions and under-stand a variety of provi-sions before they enterany agreement.”“Many folks in the area

have a number of ques-tions about what theyneed to be doing prior tobeing approached about anoil or gas lease,” saidCindy Parker, president ofthe Miami County FarmBureau. “Our CountyFarm Bureau Public PolicyAction Team is sponsoringthis briefing to help localresidents gain access toadditional, unbiased infor-mation so they can bepreparing for when a leaseis presented to them.”During the course of

the briefing, Arnold willdiscuss current energytrends, oil and gas leasingand drilling developmentsthroughout Ohio, andnegotiating lease provi-sions that create effectiverelationships between alandowner, possible nego-

tiation groups and anenergy service providerthat will eventually carrya project forward.Arnold has been OFBF

director for energy devel-opment since 1995. Herepresents farm and ruralresidential energy con-sumers on a variety ofgovernment workinggroups and public utilityadvisory boards concern-ing energy development.He has extensive experi-ence working with countyfarm bureaus and localresidents, helping commu-nities evaluate energydevelopment projects con-cerning oil and gas explo-ration, wind farm electrictransmission and pipelinedevelopment.The Ohio Farm Bureau

Federation is the state’slargest general farmorganization, encompass-ing 87 county farm bureauorganizations and morethan 225,000 memberfamilies statewide. MiamiCounty Farm Bureauleaders are active on stateand local action teamsworking on legislation,regulations and issuesthat impact agricultureand its relationship withrural, suburban andurban communities.Locally, more than

The New York Times on Syria’s future:President Bashar al-Assad’s security forces are continuing to

kill Syrians in huge numbers, but the opposition’s chances of pre-vailing look better than they did six months ago.The challenge for the United States and its partners is not just

to step up the pressure, but also to prepare the ground for a con-structive future for Syria.The opposition scored a psychological victory on Monday when

Prime Minister Riyad Farid Hijab defected to Jordan.Opposition leaders said that he brought along at least two

ministers and three military officers.Hijab, a Sunni Muslim, wasn’t part of Assad’s inner circle, but

he was the most senior civilian official and his defection is anoth-er sign of stress on the regime.The most viable diplomatic solution was a plan by the United

Nations and the Arab League that would have eased Assad out ofpower and begun a democratic transition. But Russia — withIran, Assad’s main protector — ensured itwould fail by arming the regime and refusing toimpose sanctions.The Obama administration and NATO have

wisely resisted direct military involvement. …For months, the administration has been

increasing its involvement with the rebels —organizing a 130-nation pressure group, work-ing to unify opposition factions, helping themplan a political transition, providing intelli-gence and medical aid and vetting whichgroups are extremists and which should getarms.The administration has also begun to think

beyond Assad’s fall by planning how to copewith a new wave of refugees, maintain basicmunicipal services, restart a devastated econo-my and prevent the security forces from disin-tegrating. American officials seem to havelearned the lesson of Iraq, where the govern-ment collapsed, leaving chaos behind. There isno guarantee Syria’s rebels will want the help,but the administration has to be prepared toinvest real money in these plans if they do.

The Pueblo (Colo.) Chieftainon U.S. drought:

The nation is suffering its worst drought indecades. Only in the 1930s and 1950s has a drought covered moreland, a recent federal report noted.The National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C., said 55

percent of the country was in a moderate to extreme drought bythe end of June.And thus far, despite a few showers here and there, things

aren’t getting any better.Topsoil has turned dry while “crops, pastures and rangeland

have deteriorated at a rate rarely seen in the last 18 years,” theclimate center said.The percentage of affected land is the largest since December

1956, when 58 percent of the country was covered by drought,and it rivals even some years in the Dust Bowl era of the 1930s,according to the data.Corn, wheat and soybean crops have been hit hard, particular-

ly in the traditionally productive Midwest …Cattle growers, with little productive rangeland and less corn

for feed, have been selling off herds. In the short run, this mightcause a dip in beef prices at the supermarket, but over the longhaul, those prices are likely to rise.In fact, the U.S. Department of Agriculture anticipates that

food prices as a whole will rise by 3 percent next year. That’s anunsettling prospect when the economy continues to stagnate.

Last week I promised a bigsurprise.Much to my dismay, my big

surprise may not be as suspense-filled as I’ve made it out to be.For those of you who make it

all the way through my columns,right down to the last smart-aleck remark appearing at thevery end of it, you’ve probablypieced together most of the clues.In fact, my old boss, David Fong,was the first person to text andask me if I was, in fact, the verything to which I’d been hinting.Thanks to living life on the

wild side (and a night out to cele-brate my cousin’s 22nd birthday),my husband and I are expectingour second child this winter. Ona side note, we’re not completelyand utterly irresponsible, we hadactually discussed actively tryingto conceive during the summer,so we just got a few monthsahead of ourselves.It’s been a bumpy ride to say

the least.When we found out we were

expecting we also found our-selves in the doctor’s office sever-al times within a matter ofweeks. There were some compli-cations that made things incredi-

bly scary and incredibly uncer-tain.At 21 weeks pregnant now,

things still feel uncertain, allbecause of a rough couple ofweeks. To be honest, I actuallycontemplated not announcingthe pregnancy to anyone publicly.I was just going to avoid postingprofile photos on Facebook andthen write columns about somesort of drama going on in theworld (with some bad televisionthrown in for good measure).And then, 40 weeks later, once Ihad my bouncing baby in myarms, I’d simply admit that Ifailed to mention I’d been carry-ing another human being in mybody for the last nine months.Seems realistic, right?But I’m kind of a loud mouth

and I find writing, talking andtelling too many details tostrangers to be therapeutic, so Ispilled the beans on Facebook atfour months and now, to my dearreaders at five.Some of you have figured it

out, one of you even brought acongratulations gift into thenewspaper office before I hadeven made the announcement(now that’s a dedicated reader,thank you), but I’ve been holdingout on you all for the last weekabout something even bigger.A little over a week ago my

husband and I had the “bigultrasound.”We’ve always pictured our

family with two little girls, Iknow, we’re asking for trouble.There’s just something aboutsugar and spice and everythingnice that worked its magic on us.Not to mention we’re prettysmitten with our 2-year-olddaughter Pearyn (when she’s notsuffering from a bout of terribletwos). That, coupled with the factthat little boys scare me, mainlybecause I’m a girl.So when it came time to find

out whether we’d be blessed withsugar and spice or snails and

puppy dog tails, my amazingfamily threw us a gender revealparty. The ultrasound tech sealedour baby’s gender in a large yel-low envelope and we delivered itto my cousin and aunts. Wespent one evening last week withclose friends and family on ascavenger hunt to figure out ifwe’d be welcoming a baby boy orgirl into our clan.When it was time to cut the

cake, we saw bright pink.And blue.No, we’re not having twins, my

cousin just wanted to play acruel joke on us. Our hunt endedwhen our little girl pulled thestring on a Chinese lantern, cov-ering herself and the ground in amass of bright confetti.Blue confetti, to be exact.Our family will be welcoming

not only our second child, but ourfirst son on Dec. 20, 2012. Ofcourse if he’s anything like hissister, he’ll be blessing us fivedays late, on Christmas.

Amanda Stewart appearsSaturday in the Troy Daily News.She’s both scared to death andutterly thrilled to have her heartstolen away by a little man.

Sugar and spice or snails and puppy dog tails?

NEW YORK (AP) — Asurprise surge in gasolineprices is taking some ofthe fun out of summer.The national average

for a gallon of gas at thepump has climbed to$3.67, a rise of 34 centssince July 1. An increasein crude oil prices andproblems with refineriesand pipelines in the WestCoast and Midwest,including a fire inCalifornia, are mostly toblame.Analysts don’t expect

gas prices to get as high asthey did in April, when 10states passed $4 a gallonand the U.S. averagetopped out at $3.94. Butthis is still unwelcomenews in this sluggisheconomy, since any extramoney that goes to fill gastanks doesn’t get spent onmovies and dinners out.The rising prices could

also put pressure onPresident Barack Obamain the heat of his re-elec-tion campaign.When Phil Van Schepen

recently went to fill up hisdry-cleaning delivery vanin Coon Rapids, Minn., hefound a Post-it note a driv-er before him had placedon the pump faultingObama for high gasolineprices.“It’s a reminder of his

energy policies overall,which I don’t agree with,”said Van Schepen, whobuys about 100 gallons aweek and finds he isspending about $40 morethan he did in early July.Still, he said the Post-it“was a bit much” becausethe president isn’t respon-sible for gasoline prices.Analysts and econo-

mists agree, saying pricesfor crude oil and wholesalegasoline are set on finan-cial exchanges around theworld based on supply anddemand and expectationsabout how those factorsmay change.The price at the pump

in the U.S. fell more than60 cents per gallon duringthe spring as the globaleconomy slowed and tur-moil in the Middle Eastseemed to subside.But crude oil is climb-

ing again, rising to $94 a

barrel from a low of $78 inlate June. Production out-ages in South Sudan andthe North Sea, Westernsanctions that have cutthe flow of Iranian oil,Iran’s threat to blocktankers passing throughthe vital Strait of Hormuz,and fears that the violencein Syria could escalateinto a wider regional con-flict have driven up oilprices.Seasonal factors are

also sending pump priceshigher. Gas usually costsmore in the late springand summer becauserefiners have to makemore expensive blends ofgasoline to meet clean airrules and because thesummer driving seasonboosts demand.In the past few weeks,

pipelines servingWisconsin and Illinoisruptured, refineries wereshut down unexpectedlybecause of equipmentproblems in Illinois andIndiana, and a blaze brokeout at a refinery inRichmond, Calif.Gasoline prices shot up

more than 50 cents in thespan of a month inIndiana, Vermont, Illinois,Ohio, Kentucky, Michiganand Wisconsin. AndCalifornia drivers haveseen gas climb 13 centssince the fire Monday.Motorists in many citiesthere are paying well over$4.Drivers in 20 states,

including the possibleWhite House battlegroundstates of Colorado, Iowa,Nevada, Ohio andWisconsin, are payingmore for gasoline this yearthan they did last year,and the list will probablysoon include Virginia andNorth Carolina, said TomKloza, chief oil analyst atthe Oil Price InformationService. The national aver-age a year ago was $3.64.“If you are paying more

than in the past, it doeshave the potential to hurtthe president,” Kloza said.Economists said the

price bump probably won’thave much of an effect oneconomic growth, at leastnot yet. The extra 34 centsa gallon translates to $33per month for a typicalhousehold.Prices could go higher if

Middle East tensions rise,more refinery problemsemerge or hurricanes inthe Gulf of Mexico force oildrillers or refiners to shutdown. The NationalOceanic and AtmosphericAdministration this weeksaid this could be a moreactive hurricane seasonthan previously thought.But analysts say that

without those disruptions,gasoline will probablybegin dropping after LaborDay as refiners switch tocheaper blends and driv-ers hit the road less often.That means voters couldbe going to the polls asprices are falling.

A guitarist and vocal-ist/pianist will performjazz with a twist at Leaf &Vine tonight, rounding outtheir Ohio dates.Tipp City native Lee

Dynes and AmandaAddleman of California,who now live in SanFransisco, will perform amedley of songs blendingmodern with classic jazz,along with Americanacoustic and bluegrass.The duo was previouslyjoined by mandolinistDave Goldenberg ofBoulder, Colo., earlier inthe week to play threeother events, includingFriday’s Miami ValleyMusic Festival.The three Berklee

College of Music graduates

have performed solo, aswell as in duos and largeracts. Fusing together dif-ferent genres of music —including bluegrass and“hippy dippy” — is oftenachieved effortlessly.“If you’re a musician,

you go through differentphases. It’s like if you haveFrench, you have an idea ofall the romantic lan-guages,” Goldenberg said.Addleman added, “You

end up being a chameleon,basically.”At age 10, Dynes got his

start playing guitar, begin-ning in rock and thenbranching out to blues andheavy metal. It wasn’t untillater that he discoveredjazz.“I found the transposi-

tion of jazz guitar in a gui-

tar magazine. The rest ishistory,” Dynes said. “Imostly do jazz guitar, but Ialso dabble in otherthings.”Addleman acknowl-

edged that though jazzmay be thought of asslightly old-timey, theystrive to keep their musicupbeat to appeal to ayounger set, includingtheir friends.“We’re finding balance

between repackaging thegenre and giving a homageto what was,” Addlemansaid. They even performhits such as Katy Perry’s“E.T.” and Kings of Leon’s“Use Somebody.”“It’s the same melody,

same lyrics, but we add adifferent mood. It’s moreacoustic, in a jazz spirit.”The Jazz Tellers per-

form at 9 tonight at Leaf &Vine, 108 W. Main St.

AREA RELIGION BRIEFS

LONDON (AP) — At theOlympics, it’s not just the ath-letes who go faster, higher andstronger. So do the emotions ofspectators at this vast, dramaticand often confusing event.

Amid the mayhem, a reli-gious volunteer army is on handto offer spiritual succor.

Roaming London’s transportnetwork in blue baseball capsare 300 volunteer “games pas-tors” from a range of Christiandenominations. Deployed at air-ports and train stations, theyare ready to step in for the mostminor or most serious situation,from a lost contact lens to apotential suicide.

They say they are there tooffer a listening ear and a help-ing hand, not to shove religiondown anyone’s throat.

“They’re not giving out tractsand Bibles,” said pastors organ-izer Mike Freeman. “They’re giv-ing out a listening ear.”

From dawn until the weehours, St. Pancras station, ter-minus of fast trains to OlympicPark, is full of harried, confusedand lost people. The Olympicshas brought hundreds of thou-sands of extra visitors to theBritish capital, many far fromhome, disoriented or simplytired.

The volunteer pastors, whoare not officially part of theOlympics, but are authorized bytransport authorities, roam thestation in easy-to-spot sky-blue

caps and vests.They have done everything

from help a man who had lost acontact lens they directed him toa pharmacy to help police calm adrunk and disorderly womanand talk for an hour with a manso consumed by guilt over hisrole in a fatal car crash that hewas considering suicide.

“When he left after an hour,OK, all his problems weren’tsolved, but he had had a listen-ing ear and went away with

some hope,” said Freeman.Religions of all stripes have a

strong presence at the Olympics,where Buddhist, Christian,Hindu, Muslim and Jewish cler-ics are on hand around the clockto minister to athletes’ spiritualneeds.

Around the Olympic Park,Christian volunteers notemployed by games organizerschat with Olympic volunteersand games-goers. They say theyare struck by how many people

want to talk.Alan Ratliff, an American

pastor with International SportsChaplains, said Olympic visitors“are in an open mood.”

“They are here to experienceit,” he said. “They want to soak itup for all its worth. That openspeople up.”

Ratliff, a lawyer and account-ant from Houston, Texas, sayshe wants to spread the wordabout Jesus but only if the per-son he’s open to seems open to it.

“People come up and ask uswhy we are there, they find outwhat they do and suddenlythey’ve got a story,” he said. “Theconversations just start fromthere.”

Although most Britons arenominally Anglicans and thereare large Catholic, Hindu,Muslim and Jewish communi-ties Britain is a largely secularcountry.

The British games pastorssaid they have received littlehostility, but that God comes uprelatively infrequently in theirconversations with people.

“Sometimes you get peoplewho are anti-anybody of faith,”said Margarita Barr-Hamilton,a retired head teacher fromLondon. “But when you tellthem what we’re doing, they say‘That’s a good idea.’”

Henry Playle, a retiredchurch training officer fromRoyston, north of London, saidthe volunteers were consciousthat they had to tread carefully.

“I think we’ve got to earn thereputation by doing the rightthing,” he said. “We could over-step the mark by proselytizing,which is not what people want.”

The National Secular Society,which works to limit the influ-ence of religion, said it wasrelaxed about the Olympic out-pouring of faith, pointing outthat church attendance inBritain has been declining foryears anyway.

Olympic ‘games pastors’ minister to spectators

THE PROCESS OFGRIEVING

Dear Heloise: I had to putmy dog to sleep because shewas suffering from cancer. Shehad been by my side for 10years and was truly my bestfriend. When someone is griev-ing the loss of a pet, just bethere for the person and lethim or her talk. Ask questionsabout the animal: funny stories,any quirks or unusual habits ofthe animal, trips you went on,etc. listen to the person talk

about the pet. This is his or hertime to grieve. Give the personthe gift of your time.Having you recount stories

about pets you’ve lost, I’m sorryto say, is not as helpful as lis-tening. I am very sorry aboutyour loss, but for right now, theonly thing I can think about ismy own grief.— Sharon inTexasSharon, it can be devastating

to lose a beloved pet. I’ve beenthrough it many times. Also,I’ve written about it in this col-umn. To read these columns,which I hope will help you andothers in this situation, you canvisit my website,www.Heloise.com.— Heloise

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

Dear Annie: I'm a college stu-dent and only get to see my long-distance boyfriend once every fouror five weeks. We've been datingfor more than 18 months.Assuming we stay togetherthrough grad school, we will havedated longer than six years beforewe have the chance to live togeth-er.Since I haven't spent all that

much time with him, my biggestfear is that we won't get alongonce we settle down. So far, thelongest stretch of time we've spentin each other's company is sixdays. What if, by the time gradua-tion rolls around, I discover thatI've fallen in love with the idea ofmy boyfriend instead of the realdeal? — Undergrad

Dear Undergrad: Believe it ornot, some couples don't livetogether before marriage and stillmanage to have happy, compatiblelives. But you do have a legitimateconcern about how little timeyou've spent in each other's com-pany, and your articulation about"falling in love with love" might beaccurate. So don't make any sud-den plans. If you find yourselfseriously attracted to someoneelse, it means you aren't ready tocommit to your boyfriend. If youstill want to be with him whenyou are no longer separated bydistance, take the time to deter-mine whether it's the real deal. Noone should feel rushed into mar-riage.

Dear Annie: My sister, "Jane,"was divorced a few years ago.She's been seeing a counselor fortwo years because she enabled herlazy husband.Here's the problem. Jane has

"adopted" my family because oneof her sons has disowned her, hiswife won't speak to her becauseJane verbally attacked her, andher other son wants to be leftalone for a while.If there is a holiday, Jane wants

to be invited to be with my family.If there is a birthday or wedding,even on my husband's side, shehas to send a card. She insisted onsending a get-well card to a dis-tant cousin-by-marriage whom shebarely knows.Jane also is very domineering.

She rips things out of my hand toput them away. She makesdemeaning remarks about peopleand isn't happy with anything.Her co-workers don't do the workright, the neighbors do everythingwrong, etc., etc. I could go on, but Idon't want to sound like her. Whatdo I do? — Texas Sister

Dear Texas: Let's separate thisinto sections. If Jane wants tosend birthday, holiday or get-wellcards to anyone, that's fine. Thesesentiments are harmless and areoften appreciated by the recipi-ents, even if they seem a littlestrange to you. Jane clings to yourfamily because she can't be withher own, so it is a kindness toinclude her whenever possible.The rest sounds like depressionand anger.You've been a supportive sister,

but we recommend you set clearboundaries so Jane understandsthe limits of your tolerance. It'salso OK to tell her that her com-plaints indicate that she is bitterand unhappy, and gently suggestthat she discuss these things withher therapist.

Dear Annie: "Uncertain andAfraid" said her husband flirtsaggressively with the waitressesat the bars they frequent.I was married for 23 years to

my first husband. He was a goodman, but he drank too much. Hecouldn't hold a job, and we lost ourhome. We divorced. I married asecond time to another drinker,but I put my foot down, saying Iwould leave him unless he quit. Inever had a problem with my ownalcohol consumption, but when heagreed to quit, I quit with him.Neither of us ever touched anoth-er drop of alcohol. Life was good,and we lived together happily forthe next 40 years.I would advise "Uncertain" to

stop aiding and abetting her hus-band's drinking problem by drink-ing with him, because that's whatshe's doing.— Been There

HOROSCOPEBY FRANCES DRAKE

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Thegovernment slashed itsexpectations for U.S. cornand soybean production forthe second consecutivemonth Friday, predictingwhat could be the lowestaverage corn yield in morethan 15 years as the worstdrought in decades scorchesmajor farm states.Nonetheless, Agriculture

Secretary Tom Vilsack, in astatement supplied exclu-sively to The AssociatedPress, insisted U.S. farmersand ranchers remainresilient and the countrywill continue to meetdemand as the global leaderin farm exports and foodaid.The U.S. Agriculture

Department cut its project-

ed U.S. corn production to10.8 billion bushels, down17 percent from its forecastlast month of nearly 13 bil-lion bushels and 13 percentless than last year. Thatalso would be the lowestproduction since 2006.The USDA, in its World

Agricultural Supply andDemand Estimates report,now expects corn growers to

average 123.4 bushels peracre, down 24 bushels fromlast year in what would bethe lowest average yield in17 years.Soybean production is

now forecast at 2.69 billionbushels, a 12 percentdecline from last year andwell off the 3.05 billionbushels the USDA hadexpected last month. Theexpected average yield of36.1 bushels per acre wouldbe the lowest since 2003.Corn farmers had

expected a record year justmonths ago, when theysowed 96.4 million acres themost since 1937. The USDAnow predicts only 87.4 mil-lion acres will be harvested,although it notes the cropstill could be the eighth-biggest in U.S. history. Thatis due in part to hardiercorn varieties, which arebetter able to withstanddrought and heat.“I have to be honest with

you, I’m totally stunned wehave corn with green stalksand leaves after goingthrough weeks of 105-degree temperature,” saidGarry Niemeyer, theNational Corn GrowersAssociation’s president, whohas 1,200 acres of corn and800 acres of soybeans nearAuburn, Ill. He added, “Ourcorn yield normally wouldbe about 190 bushels peracre. This year, if I get 110I’d be thrilled to death.”On Thursday, the U.N.

food agency drew a directcorrelation between pricehikes in basic food com-modities and the months ofparched conditions in farmstates. The Rome-basedFood and AgricultureOrganization said in itsmonthly price report thatits overall food price indexclimbed 6 percentage pointsin July, although it was wellbelow the peak reached inFebruary 2011. The FAO’sindex, considered a globalbenchmark used to trackmarket volatility and pricetrends, measures themonthly price changes for abasket of food, includingcereals, oils and fats, meat,dairy products and sugar.

Severe drought punish-ing the U.S.’s midsectionhas sent corn prices soar-ing, and expectations ofcrop damage from dryweather in Russia sentworld wheat prices up 19percent, according to theFAO. Spikes in the prices ofstaple foods have led toriots in some countries inrecent years.Vilsack tried to tamp

down such concernsFriday.“Americans shouldn’t see

immediate increases in foodprices due to the drought,”Vilsack said as he visiteddrought-stricken Nebraska.“What is important goingforward is that we continueto do all we can to help thefarmers, ranchers, smallbusinesses and communi-ties being impacted by thisdrought.”Rick Whitacre, a profes-

sor of agricultural econom-ics at Illinois StateUniversity, said consumersmay see modest priceincreases at grocery storesbecause corn is found ineverything from cosmeticsto cereal, soda, cake mixesand candy bars. He said thebiggest price jump is likelyto be a 4 to 6 percentincrease for beef and pork,as many ranchers havesold livestock as pasturesdry up and feed costs rise.

14August 11, 2012

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) —You can’t wipe the smile off the faceof Dale Earnhardt Jr., not even at aroad course.With five races before the Chase

for the Sprint Cup championshipbegins, Earnhardt is in unfamiliarterritory as the series gets set forthe second and final road race of theseason at Watkins GlenInternational on Sunday he’sperched atop the points standings.A year ago at The Glen

Earnhardt was 10th, just one pointahead of eventual champion TonyStewart. The top 10 drivers in thepoints and two wild-card teamsqualify for NASCAR’s version of apostseason.“Coming here in 10th place just

trying to hang on to a spot in theChase is really, really tough, espe-cially for someone like myself who ismore cold than hot (here),”Earnhardt said Friday as he waitedfor a steady rain to stop so Cuppractice could begin. “We’ve hadgood tests. We’re feeling positiveabout our chances of having a goodrun.

“We struggled at Sonoma and westruggled in our test earlier in theseason, too,” said Earnhardt, whoqualified 19th and came home 23rdon the circuit’s other road course inJune. “We kept working at it andmade a lot of gains, gained a lot ofspeed. I’m excited to see how it’sgoing to pay off this weekend. I feelpretty confident we’ll be able to putup an effort we can be proud of.”Earnhardt, who has nine top-five

finishes and 15 top-10s, leads MattKenseth by a scant five points, withGreg Biffle another point back andfive-time Cup champion JimmieJohnson only eight points behind.Because of his impressive consis-

tency this year, Earnhardt findshimself in a unique spot.“We can take gambles. It is real

tight,” Earnhardt said of the topfour in points. “We could walk out ofhere in fifth pretty easily if thingswere to go bad for us. I know thatgoing in. I’ve prepared myself men-tally for all things. You have to.”In 12 starts at Watkins Glen,

Earnhardt has qualified in the top10 three times but still is seeking

the first road course win of hiscareer. He has two top-five finishesand three top-10s at The Glen.The rain forced NASCAR to push

back Cup practice until late after-noon and Earnhardt was only 28thfastest. Qualifying for Sunday’sFinger Lakes 355 is scheduled forlate Saturday morning.“This race you can kind of just

throw it all out there,” Earnhardtsaid. “We were really conservativeall year long, and we feel like we candefinitely, in the position we’re in,gamble a lot more … to try to winraces like a lot of these guys do. Wejust kind of played it safe to makesure we were going to make theChase. That’s the first thing. Youdon’t want to miss the Chase beingfoolish.“If we fall back in points because

we made a few mistakes or a gam-ble that didn’t pay off, it’s no bigdeal. We know the kind of seasonthat we’ve had. We’ve got a lot to beproud of. I think mentally we can gointo the Chase pretty excited aboutour chances.Hopefully, we canmakesome of those gambles pay off.”

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y.(AP) — Since a blownengine knocked him out ofthe Daytona 500 to startthe Sprint Cup season, it’staken Jeff Gordon 20 racesto drive into contention forNASCAR’s postseason.And he’s there, finally.

After notching his first vic-tory of the season last weekat Pocono, Gordon holdsone of two wild cards andwould make the 10-raceChase for the Sprint Cupchampionship if it beganthis week.“I don’t think a lot of

people have really even putmuch emphasis and recog-nize, other than ourselves,how consistently we’vebeen top-five, top-10 thelast eight weeks,” Gordonsaid as he turned his focusto Sunday’s race on theroad course at WatkinsGlen. “That’s what’s movedus up into the positionwe’re in.That’s what put usinto position to win thatrace.”It’s been a rough road

for the four-time Cupchampion, who has run upfront much of the season

only to see his team’sefforts go for naught.Through the first 14 racesof the 36-race season,Gordon’s average finishwas an uncharacteristic20.714, placing him outsidethe top 20 in points.Two wild cards for the

Chase are awarded to thedrivers with the most winsoutside the top 10, but onlythose in the top 20 are eli-gible.Before his 86th career

win last week he finallyhad a stroke of luck whenleaders Jimmie Johnson

and Matt Kenseth tangledon a restart and Gordonslipped past unscathedinto first, getting the victo-ry when rain prevented thecompletion of the raceGordon was an after-thought at best to makethe Chase.It’s the wackiest season

he’s had since becoming afull-time Cup driver in1993:• In March at Bristol,

the exhaust on teammateDale Earnhardt Jr.’s carcut a tire on Gordon’s No.24 Chevrolet and Gordon

limped home 35th.• Only half a lap from

winning at tinyMartinsville in April, hewas wrecked during agreen-white-checkered fin-ish and ended up 14thdespite leading 328 laps.• Gordon won the pole

at Talladega, but a latecrash doomed him to a33rd-place finish.• At Darlington,

Gordon, third all-time withseven wins at the trickyegg-shaped speedway, hadtwo flat tires and camehome 35th.

On the road again

LEXINGTON, Ohio(AP) — Back when A.J.Foyt was compiling aresume that included 67IndyCar wins includingfour Indianapolis 500s, itseemed as if he could winanywhere he drove.But in the back of his

mind, it was as if thetracks had personalities oftheir own. Some welcomedand helped him, othersworked against him.“I’ve had tracks like

that. The ones that I didn’thave luck at, I worked thatmuch harder to try to winon them.Which, normally Idid,” Foyt said during therecent IndyCar stop atMid-Ohio. “I had some thatI always liked a little bet-ter. Like the Hoosier 100.That was the next biggestpurse to Indy. It was like Icouldn’t be beat there.”Ask a driver at any

level of racing his favoritetrack and he’ll likely smileand rattle off at least acouple. Then their faceswill cloud over and they’lladdress the ones thatalways seemed to be adver-saries.Regardless of how they

felt about a venue, howev-er, it sometimes has nobearing on how they didthere.“There’s always that

saying, ‘horses for cours-es,’” said three-timeIndyCar champ BobbyRahal said. “There weretracks I loved where Inever really did that welland then there tracks thatI always did really well on,like Toronto and Mid-Ohio.There was just somethingabout it that you alwaysended up doing well there.Don’t ask me why.”So, is there something

about a layout that match-es up with the skills of thedriver? Or is it just a roll ofthe dice? Does past per-formance affect future suc-cess? Or is it all just coin-cidence, and winning does-n’t beget more winning,and a bit of bad luck does-n’t necessarily lead tomore of it?Count Scott Dixon

among those who believethat there’s something spe-cial at certain tracks. Hewas disappointed withqualifying last weekend atMid-Ohio, then reboundedon Sunday to win there forthe fourth time in sixyears.“I wish I was this happy

to come to all the tracks,”he said with a grin. “Whenyou see it coming up on thecalendar I’m excited for itbecause I know we dowell.”

Stormy WeatherWatkins Glen

International is ready forany kind of weather.A week after 10 fans

were injured by lightningstrikes at Pocono Raceway,one of them fatally,WGIpresident Michael Printupsaid his staff has beendrilled repeatedly on whatto do in case of a storm.“All of our emergency

action plans we review withNASCAR prior (to a race),”Printup said Friday. “We’vebeen doing it for years, andto be honest I’m really sen-sitive to it. I was inCalifornia (in 1999) when(IndyCar driver) GregMoore died. You have to beon your toes. Unfortunately,there’s tragedies that dohappen in this sport, so I’vebeen hyper-sensitive to it.”

Prescription forFailureSuspended NASCAR

driver AJ Allmendingersays he tested positive for aprescription drug typicallyused to treat attentiondeficit disorder.Allmendinger said in an

interview with ESPN thathe took Adderall a couple ofdays before the race atKentucky Speedway onJune 30 because he wastired. He does not haveADHD or a prescription forthe drug.He says a friend gave

him the pill and said it wasa workout supplement thatwould give him energy.Two days later he was

randomly tested at theracetrack.

Tiger tied for PGA leadKIAWAH ISLAND, S.C.

(AP) — The major knownas “Glory’s Last Shot”turned into one last chancefor Tiger Woods.On the toughest scoring

day in PGA Championshiphistory, Woods made puttsfrom one end of KiawahIsland to the other Fridayfor a 1-under 71 that gavehim a share of the leadwith Vijay Singh and CarlPettersson going into theweekend.“It was tough out there

— wow,”Woods said.Wow, indeed.In relentless wind that

began at sunrise andwhipped up the Atlanticwaters with 30 mph gusts,par never looked better inthis championship. Therewere more rounds in the90s — two of them by clubpros — than in the 60s.There were 41 players whofailed to break 80, a listthat included RickieFowler, Matt Kuchar andHunter Mahan.Singh, a three-time

major champion who hasn’twon in nearly four years,scratched out five birdies ina remarkable round of 3-under 69. Only three otherplayers managed to breakpar in the second round —Michael Hoey of NorthernIreland at 70, and Woods,Phil Mickelson and IanPoulter at 71.

It’s the second time thisyear that Woods has had ashare of the lead in a majorgoing into the weekend. Hemissed one chance atOlympic Club in the U.S.Open, when he stumbled toa 75-73 to tie for 21st. Hewas in the penultimategroup at the British Openuntil a triple bogey on thesixth hole of the final roundtook him out of the mix.One last major, one last

shot.“I’ve been in this posi-

tion many times over mycareer,” he said. “Again,we’re just at the halfwaypoint. We have a long wayto go.”

Six players were atopthe leaderboard on this dayof survival. Singh was thefirst to post at 4-under 140,and it didn’t look as thoughanyone would be able toeven match that as thewind never let up on TheOcean Course.Pettersson stayed in the

lead as long as he coulduntil a few errant tee shotscost him at the end of hisround and he had to settlefor a 74. Woods, playing onthe opposite side of thecourse, showed early onthat he figured out some-thing with his putter.Along with birdie putts

of 15 feet and 40 feet on the

opening two holes, therewas a collection of big parsaves — from 20 feet on thethird hole, a pair of 8-footpar putts a few holes later.There were even two shortpar putts that swirled 360degrees around the cup anddropped.The only disappoint-

ment was the way it ended.After hooking a tee shotthat rattled around the cor-porate tents and allowedhim a shot into the 18th, heran his birdie putt about 6feet by the hole and three-putted for bogey.It cost him his first out-

right lead in a major inthree years, but this wasnot a day to complain.Doug Wade, a club pro

from Dayton, had a 93.That was one shot awayfrom the PGAChampionship record forthe worst score.

United States’ Kevin Durant (5) reacts after he slam dunks against Argentina during a semifinal men’sbasketball game at the 2012 Summer Olympics Friday in London.

All themedals

18August 11, 2012

LONDON (AP) — One more forthe gold, and seemingly nothing thatcan prevent it.

This U.S. men’s Olympic basket-ball team might not slow down untilit’s standing at the center of themedals platform again.

Kevin Durant scored 19 points,LeBron James and CarmeloAnthonyadded 18 apiece, and the U.S. pow-ered its way back to the gold-medalgame by beatingArgentina 109-83 onFriday night.

“Anything less than this wouldhave been unsatisfying for us,”Anthony said. “We believe that wecould get here and we’re here now.We got one game left.”

The U.S. will play Spain onSunday, a rematch of their victoryfour years ago for the title in Beijing.

TheAmericans have said they feelthis team is better than that squad,and they are certainly more potent.

In the third straight Olympicsemifinal between the U.S. andArgentina, the Americans keptpulling ahead only to see theArgentines climb back in until James

and Durant finally put them awayfor good.

Manu Ginobili scored 18 pointsfor Argentina, which needs to beatRussia on Sunday in the bronze-medal game to medal for the thirdstraight Olympics.

Kobe Bryant scored 11 of his 13points to get the U.S off to a quickstart, but Argentina hung arounduntil early in the second half, just asit did Monday in the final game ofpool play.

“We had a great run in the firsthalf,” Ginobili said. “We started thethird very well. And then weblinked.”

And just like that night, theAmericans hit them with a wave ofdunks and 3-pointers in the thirdquarter that turned it into a romp.

While not quite as explosive astheir 42-17 period in Monday’s 126-97 win, this one had just as manyhighlights.

Ahead by only four after Ginobiliopened the third quarter with a 3-pointer, the Americans pulled awaywith James’ strength and Durant’s

shot.Durant made two 3-pointers in an

8-0 spurt that pushed the lead to 13,and when Argentina got back withineight, the NBA’s MVP and runner-up teamed up to blow it open.

James had a basket and drove fora powerful dunk while being fouled.Durant followed with consecutive 3-pointers, and James tipped in a missand suddenly the lead was 19, 72-53,with 1:30 left in the period.

It became a runaway in the fourthwhenAnthony hit three 3-pointers in42 seconds, the American benchspilling onto the floor as he struttedback to midcourt after the last onemade it 93-64.

“Anybody on this team can getgoing at any point.That’s the danger-ous part of this team,” Anthony said.“You never know who’s going to get itgoing. Tonight, Kobe started it.Durant got it going and I got hot outthere, too.”

The U.S. beat Spain 118-107 inthe Beijing final, pulling away afterleading by just four with about 2minutes left.

No stopping them

LONDON (AP) —With asurge of medals in track andfield, the United States hassprinted ahead of China andis poised to finish atop themedals table at the LondonOlympics maybe with themost golds ever collected bythe Americans on foreignsoil.

Heading into the finalweekend of competition, theU.S. leads both the gold andoverall medals races aftertrailing the Chinese most ofthe games.

The Americans pulledfurther ahead Friday. At theend of the day’s events, theU.S. led China 94 to 81 intotal medals and 41 to 37 ingolds.

Bill Mallon, a veteranAmerican medals prognosti-cator, believes the U.S. willwin the overall race by 12 to15 medals and the goldcount by three to five.

Four more golds wouldequal the highest U.S. totalon foreign territory inOlympic history 45 at boththe 1968 Mexico CityGames and the 1924 ParisGames.

The gold haul in Londonis already the best for theUnited States since it won44 in 1996 in Atlanta. Itshighest gold count was 83 atthe 1984 Los AngelesGames, which were boy-cotted by the Soviet Union.

The late U.S. charge inLondon has been spurred bythe track and field team,with 26 medals, includingeight golds, through Friday.

TheAmericans picked upfour medals Thursday nightwith 1-2 finishes by AshtonEaton and Trey Hardee inthe decathlon and byChristian Taylor and WillClaye in the triple jump.They grabbed two moreFriday night gold in thewomen’s 4x100-meter relayand silver in the men’s4x400 relay.

the trackside clock as sheapproached the finish line,Carmelita Jeter pointed theblack baton in her left handat those bright orange num-bers. She wanted to makesure everyone saw what shesaw: The United States wasbreaking the world record inthe women’s 4x100-meterrelay and it wasn’t evenclose.

Allyson Felix, TiannaMadison and Bianca Knightbuilt a big lead, and Jeterbrought it home Fridaynight, anchoring the U.S. toits first Olympic gold medalin the sprint relay since1996 with a time of 40.82,more than a half-second bet-ter than a record that hadstood for 27 years.

U.S. poisedto win gold,overall races

For London, what will Olympic legacy be?LONDON (AP) —

London 2102.It was only a typo, sten-

ciled on an Olympics tennisumpire’s chair, but it raisedan interesting question.What will be the legacy ofthis year’s games economi-cally, socially, culturally?

In a 2,000-year-old citythat has been home tomany, many stories, willthe games, decades fromnow, merit their own chap-ter or merely a sentence ortwo? Once the gold-fuelednationalism fades and thebill comes due, will they beseen as a success?

If you live in London’sgritty East End, wheremuch of the $14 billion inOlympics-related infra-structure improvementshave been made, theanswer could very well beyes.

The 560-acre Olympic

Park replaced a rusting,toxic no-man’s-land withstate-of the art venues,some constructed by world-class architects. After thegames end, the site will beclosed to undergo anothermetamorphosis.

When it reopens in2013, many temporaryOlympic structures will begone, replaced by fields,playgrounds, waterways,cycling lanes and picnicareas, as well as scaled-down athletic and culturalvenues and new mixed-income housing.

“Initially, I was skepti-cal about the effect it wouldhave on the local communi-ty, but over the years it hasbecome apparent thatthere’s been a lot of atten-tion paid to the legacy ofthe Olympics,” said DanTsu, the founder of LyrixOrganix, a group of rappers

and hiphop artists whowork with underprivilegedyouth in Stratford andHackney, the neighbor-hoods adjacent to OlympicPark.

Tsu said both have beenplagued by crime, unem-ployment and neglect.Those will doubtlessimprove, but the neighbor-hoods will also have toadjust to gentrification andhigher real estate prices.

“It is difficult for anycommunity to deal withsomething that uprootsthem. There is a verystrong sense of communityhere,” he said. “But I’verealized that the areaneeded regeneration andinvestment.”

Elsewhere, the impactof the games will be morediffuse, if it is felt at all.

Britain hoped theOlympics would lead to a

surge in sports participa-tion that would allow it toshed its distinction as thefattest nation in Europe,but whether that will hap-pen remains to be seen.

Fighting a recession andslashing debt, Britain hasalready cut the budget forSport England, the commu-nity sports organization, bya third. It has scrapped aplan to get 1 million morepeople playing sports bythe end of this year.

So the games may nothave shrunk Britain’swaistline. But they do seemto have bolstered thenational mood.

Famously reservedLondoners have foundthemselves besieged bycheerful, purple-cladOlympic staff helpingdirect tourists. Even thesubway, or Tube, normallya silent netherworld of gri-

maces and thousand-milestares, has become the set-ting of friendly medal-tables banter between per-fect strangers.

One longtime Londoncommuter, Oliver Ortiz,was having trouble digest-ing the experience.

“Wow,” he said dayslater, smiling. “Someone’sactually talking to me onthe Tube.”

Britons — who put theirnoses up at other countries’overt displays of national-ism — think football-field-size flags, fighter-jet fly-overs and celebrity-ren-dered anthems in theUnited States have sud-denly found themselvescaught up in a surge ofpride at their athletes’ phe-nomenal showing. Britainhas not had such a haul ofOlympic medals since1908.
