Autumn Klesmit of Kenton picks a pumpkin during a visit to
the Athauser Honey Farm. Autumn is one of the members of
Karen Jesionowski’s first grade class at Kenton’s Espy School
who visited the farm Friday morning. The Althauser farm will celebrate its annual Sweet Harvest Festival today and Sunday at
the farm, located at 10718 TR 205, east of Kenton. Families are
encouraged to pick pumpkins from the patches, learn about
honey-making, play games and enjoy the gourds, Indian corn
and other items available at the festival.
Sniping from within
own party adds to
Romney’s struggles
By DAVID ESPO
AP Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt
Romney struggled to steady
his presidential campaign on
Friday, buffeted by an outbreak of sniping among frustrated Republicans, fresh evidence of a slide in battleground state polls and
President Barack Obama’s
accusation that he was writing
off “half the country” in pursuit
of the White House.
Republican running mate
Paul Ryan drew boos at an
AARP convention in New
Orleans when he said Romney
would repeal Obama’s health
care law, which closed a gap in
coverage for seniors’ prescription drugs. The Wisconsin congressman accused the administration
of
weakening
Medicare and flinching from
tough measures needed to stabilize
Social
Security’s
finances, adding that the president has “put his own job
security over your retirement
security.”
Obama rebutted Ryan’s
charges point by point in a
video appearance to the same
audience.
He
said
the
Republican prescription for
Medicare would mean “billions
in new profits for insurance
companies” and replacing
guaranteed benefits with a
voucher that would bring higher out of pocket costs for seniors.
Romney campaigned in
Nevada as aides released a
2011 federal income tax return
showing he and his wife, Ann,
paid $1.94 million in federal
taxes last year on income of
$13.7 million. Their effective
tax rate was 14.1 per cent,
lower than many families pay
because most of the couple’s
earnings come from investments.
Romney continued to point
to Obama’s recent remark that
he had learned, after nearly
four years as president, that he
couldn’t change Washington
from the inside. Although
Obama went on to cite public
involvement as a necessity for
change, the Republican campaign framed the remark as an
admission of failure.
“Over history there have
been people that have changed
Washington from the inside,”
Romney said in Las Vegas.
“And they’ve done it effectively
by showing leadership from
the top. ... This president has
not done that.”
But there seemed no letup
in the bad political news for
Romney, hit by a barrage of it
since he was seen on videotape
saying that his job as a candidate is not to worry about the
47 percent of Americans whom
he said pay no income taxes
and see themselves as victims.
In an interview taped for
broadcast Sunday on CBS’ “60
Minutes,” Romney said of his
campaign: “It doesn’t need a
turnaround. We’ve got a campaign which is tied with an
incumbent president to the
United States.”
Obama, for sure, was eager
to keep the controversy alive.
Campaigning in Woodbridge,
Va., he defended himself
against Romney’s jabs at his
own statement that change is
impossible from the inside in
Washington. “It can’t happen if
you write off half the nation
before you even took office,” he
said.
According to Wall Street
Journal/NBC
News/Marist
Poll surveys, the president has
opened leads among likely voters of eight percentage points
in Iowa, with 6 electoral votes,
and margins of five percentage
points each in Colorado (9
electoral votes) and Wisconsin
(10.)
Earlier surveys published
this week pointed to leads for
Obama in both Virginia, with
13 electoral votes, and Ohio,
with 18.
National polls have been far
closer, including an AP-GfK
survey this week that had it a
statistical tie among likely voters. They have also suggested
progress for Obama in terms of
his handling of the economy,
the No. 1 issue in the race.
Romney’s allies point to a
series of presidential debates
beginning Oct. 3 as a chance to
shake up the race.
But for now, Romney’s troubles have sent shudders down
ballot, where Republicans are
in tough races that will settle
the outcome for the struggle
for control of the Senate this
fall. Tommy Thompson, dropping in the polls in Wisconsin,
said “the presidential thing is
bound to have an impact on
every election.”
The barn at the Hardin
County Historical Museum in
Kenton may be the largest
artifact in its collection and it
is in need of repair to survive.
Caretaker Tim Striker said
the barn at the Hardin
County Farm Museum, located just east of the fairgrounds, was built 100 years
ago and has stood the test of
time until recently. A effort is
underway to help the county
raise funding to have the
large structure’s roof replaced
and restored so the old barn
can live a new productive
century.
The barn was built in 1912
or 1913, said Striker, after its
predecessor was burned to
the ground following a thunderstorm in July 1912.
Workers witnessed the lightning bolt hit the 60 x 80 foot
building at 5 p.m. No animals
were killed in the following
fire, said Striker, but 20 tons
of hay were reportedly lost.
A smaller barn was erected
and was an important part of
the community throughout
the 20th century. When the
fairgrounds was created in
1939, said Striker, the race
track was located along
Fairground Road on the
northern part of the grounds.
The curved lanes of the track
can still be seen, he noted.
Race horses for the track
were kept in the barn’s stalls.
Small trees and branches
were cut into 8-inch sections
and crowded on the floor of
the stalls before being set in
place with sand.
The wooden sections were
easier on the feet of the
standing race horses then a
harder surface, said Striker.
In the back of the barn was
a dairy. In recent years, the
barn has not only served as a
centerpiece to the farm museum, but also is used to store
some of the artifacts in the
museum’s collection. Extra
display cases are kept on the
mow area of the barn, along
with pieces which date back
to the earliest settlers in the
county.
But the cases and the artifacts are not as secure as
they need to be, said Striker.
While the structure remains

strong at this time, the roof
needs attention.
“The nails in the roof are
100 years old and rusting
away,” said Striker. “Any
farmer will tell you once a
roof starts going bad, it doesn’t take long for the barn to
suffer.”
The museum buildings
and property belong to the
county, said Striker. He and
his wife, Lisa, rent the house
and two acres of land from
the county.
The museum board has to
find money to maintain the
buildings they lease from the
county for the SullivanJohnson Museum and the
Farm Museum, but, said
Striker,
the
estimated
$23,000 for the big barn roof
is beyond their budget.
Since the barn is owned by
the county, said Striker, regulations need to be followed
to meet state code in the
repair/replacement, which

the historical barn, but for the artifacts stored
inside.
forces the cost above commercial rates.
The commissioners have
been supportive of the effort
to repair the barn, but Striker
said the board realizes funding is limited. In response,
they set up a fund to allow
donors to “Buy A Shingle”
from the barn during the fair.
Striker said about $700 was
given to offset the cost of the
project.
The falling shingles come
at a time when the old barn
in seeing a breath of life, said
Striker. The Kenton FFA has
begun using the barn for
classes to educate young people on agriculture. The chapter has also used some of the
farmland for test crops.
He said all FFA chapters
are soon to be invited to use
the barn and grounds and he
envisions a time when larger
FFA projects can be displayed
on the farm ground for fair
visitors to view.
The museum board will be
giving presentations to corporate, business and community sponsors and looking to
the public for help.
The cost of repairing the
roof may seem difficult to
secure, said Striker, but not
when it is taken into consideration with the historical
value of the building.
“The population of Hardin
County is about 33,000 people,” said Striker. “If every
person in the county gave one
dollar, we would have enough
money for the roof and to
paint the barn. If we don’t do
something, we can lose the
barn and then there will be
no place to store the artifacts.
We could have to sell some of
them and I don’t want to see
any of that happen.”

to donate to the barn renovation fund may be found at the

Kasich sounds warning note over economy
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) —
Gov. John Kasich warned
Friday that Ohio’s economy is
not as strong as he would like
and he’s seeing signs of a possible slowdown.
Kasich said he’s concerned
that businesses are in a holding pattern until after the
election and that the state
won’t continue to see gains.
He said too many people are
still out of work to celebrate
the state’s 7.2 percent unemployment rate, unchanged for
the past three months but
still well below the national
rate of 8.1 percent.
“As I look at the velocity of
the jobs, we’re starting to see
signs that are not good,”
Kasich told The Associated
Press on Friday. He added: “I
want the people of my state to
know that I just have deep
concerns going forward about
where we are and where we
could end up.”
He said the pipeline of possible jobs coming to Ohio isn’t
as strong as it was a year ago.
He cited an overseas company
planning on bringing 800 jobs
to the state, yet a final decision continues to be put off.
Kasich, a Republican and
Mitt Romney supporter, said
he was not wading into the
presidential campaign with
his comments. He said he
believes Ohio would do better
under Romney, and he criticized what he called the
“headwinds” of uncertainty
over debt, taxes and regulations.
“But I also believe that if it
doesn’t go that way we can’t
be paralyzed, we just can’t
rub our hands and cry in our
beer,” Kasich said.
Kasich’s “doom and gloom
message” won’t resonate in
the state because Ohio is continuing to recover from the
recession, Obama spokeswoman Jessica Kershaw said
in a statement.
Kasich made his comments
returning from Cambridge
where glass insulating company Quanex announced it
was adding 162 jobs to its
existing 170 employees. The
state provided incentives to
the company including tax
credits, Kasich spokesman
Rob Nichols said.
The state Department of
Job and Family Services said
Friday that seasonally adjusted joblessness in Ohio was
again 7.2 percent in August,
staying at its lowest level
since September 2008. The
state’s non-farm payrolls
dropped by 2,000 compared
with July’s figures.
Ohio’s rate has remained
about 1 point below national
unemployment rate, which
dropped from 8.3 percent in
July to 8.1 percent in August.
The number of unemployed
Ohio workers dropped by
about 5,000, from 418,000 in
July to 413,000 last month.
Kasich noted the state has
123,000 more jobs than
January 2011, when he took
office. But he also questioned
the strength of the auto recovery in the state, saying the
state has 500 fewer overall
auto assembly and parts jobs
over the same period. There
has been good automotive
news recently, he said, but
the industry’s overall footprint
is smaller.
Libyans storm militia in backlash of attack on U.S.
BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) —
Hundreds
of
protesters
stormed the compound of one
of Libya’s strongest armed
Islamic
extremist
groups
Friday, evicting militiamen and
setting fire to their building as
the attack that killed the U.S.
ambassador and three other
Americans sparked a public
backlash against armed groups
that run rampant in the country and defy the country’s new,
post-Moammar Gadhafi leadership.
Armed men at the administrative center for the Ansar alShariah militia, suspected to
have led the Sept. 11 attack on
the U.S. Benghazi consulate,
first fired in the air to disperse
the crowd, but eventually withdrew from the site with their
weapons and vehicles after it
was surrounded by waves of
protesters shouting “No to militias.”
“I don’t want to see armed
men wearing Afghani-style
clothes stopping me in the
street to give me orders, I only
want to see people in uniform,”
said Omar Mohammed, a university student who took part
in the takeover, which protesters said was done in support of
the army and police.
No deaths were reported in
the incident, which came after
tens of thousands marched in
Benghazi in a rally against
armed militias. .
For many Libyans, last
week’s attack on the U.S.
Consulate in the eastern city of
Benghazi was the last straw
with one of the biggest problems Libya has faced since
Gadhafi’s ouster and death
around a year ago — the multiple mini-armies that with their
arsenals of machine guns and
rocket-propelled grenades are
stronger than the regular
armed forces and police.
The militias, a legacy of the
rag-tag popular forces that
fought Gadhafi’s regime, tout
themselves as protectors of
Libya’s revolution, providing
security where police cannot.
But many say they act like
gangs, detaining and intimidating rivals and carrying out
killings. Militias made up of
Islamic radicals are notorious
for attacks on Muslims who
don’t abide by their hardline
ideology. Officials and witnesses say fighters from Ansar alShariah led the attack on the
U.S. consulate.

‘Hardin County’s on fire’
By GLORIA PATTON
Ronald I. Marvin Jr., who is now the curator of the Wyandot
County Historical Museum, has recently compiled a publication for
the Hardin County Genealogy Society, entitled “Hardin County’s
on Fire.”
It was complied from articles in local newspapers including: The
Kenton Democrat, The Kenton Daily Democrat, The Hardin County
Weekly Republican, The Kenton Weekly Republican and The
University Herald (Ada).
The following is, word for word, one of the stories in Mr. Marvin’s
publication.
–––––
(The Kenton Republican-March 11, 1853)
Destructive Fire!
Our citizens were aroused this morning by the cry of the Court
House on fire -- Our citizens were prompt to the call, and with their
united efforts, they could not save the building, and the books of
the Auditor, and some of the Clerks were lost . --*** The ladies,
(God HELP them), were on hand carrying water, and doing all they
could to extinguish the spreading flames supposed to be the work
of incendiary.
The above is from the Kenton Expositor, and is certainly one of
the most comprehensive literary efforts the genius of that concern
has ever been guilty of.
-- We have but a single object in alluding to the paragraph. -And that object is to correct some of its falsehoods, lest the “good
people” of the county be misled. The “Expositor” gravely asserts
that “our citizens were aroused this morning by the cry of the
COURT HOUSE on fire.” This is shamefully false! Because, if necessary, we can procure more than a hundred witnesses who would
be willing to testify that to the “best of their knowledge and belief,”
the Court House did not utter a single syllable about the fire that
was so eagerly devouring its fair proportions! Not a work of condemnation or approval did the old residenter say on the subject! - “Some of the Clerks were lost,” says the “Expositor.” This is too
bad! We have not heard even the least suspicion that anybody was
the worse of the disaster either in limb or wind -- and as there is
nobody “missing,” the inference is strong that the misrepresentation is mainly the result of the editor’s habit of lying. -- But the
most slanderous and malignant part of the article is that which
insinuates (we submit the question to a “candid world” whether it
would not have been more manly had the editor made the charge
direct) that the fire was “supposed to be the work of -- incendiary!”
Horrible! Thus to slander a man “behind his back” -- for when the
editor deliberately wrote this, he knew as well as any critter living,
that Mr. Incendiary left these parts last year in company with the
“fall races!”
“O shame! Where is they blush!”
Nota Bena. -- The ladies will please take notice that they are
under special obligation to the “Expositor” Divine for his petitioning before the Throne of Grace in their behalf.
Thanks Ron!

Certified fishing instructor
workshop set Oct. 27
FINDLAY — Spaces are still available for adults, groups, or
conservation clubs who have a sincere interest in taking kids
fishing and want to become certified fishing instructors,
according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources
(ODNR), Division of Wildlife.
A free workshop is available on Saturday, Oct. 27 from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. at Wildlife District Two, 952 Lima Ave.,
Findlay.
Passport to Fishing is a one-day instructor training program that qualifies individuals to become Division of Wildlife
certified fishing instructors, similar to a hunter education
instructor. All participants will need to pass a background
check before being certified.
Passport to Fishing was developed by the U.S. Fish &
Wildlife Service and adopted by the Recreational Boating and
Fishing Foundation. Workshops teach volunteers the basics
of fishing and how to run a four-station fishing program with
a fishing event. These instructors then go back to their communities, with a written curriculum and training aids, to
teach youngsters and beginning anglers the basics of fishing.
To register for the workshop, call Linda at 419-429-8347.

Loretta in wheelchair after surgery
By LOVINA EICHER
I decided to write this column while my red beets are
cooking. I cook them long
enough so that the skin peels
off easily. I want to make
pickled red beets to put in
cans. We will serve those for
lunch when we have church
services next spring. I also
have several more buckets of
tomatoes ready to put into
juice. With these tomatoes I’ll
have well over 100 quarts of
juice canned already along
with 80 pints of salsa so far.
I’ll keep putting tomatoes into
jars until it frosts which I am
expecting early this year.
Daughter Loretta’s surgery
went well on Monday. She has
hard casts on both legs up to
her knees.
She isn’t allowed to put
weight onto her feet for four
weeks until the casts are
removed. She will then have
walking casts for 2 to 4 weeks
and will need therapy. During
that time we want to go get
her AFO (ankle-foot orthotic)
braces ordered. That way they
will be ready when the walking casts are off. Loretta is in
a wheelchair so she needs
help to get to bed and to the
bathroom. Time is already
going slow for her but plans
are to go back to school next
Tuesday. There isn’t any
school on Monday so she’ll
have an extra day home. The
school will send a handicapped bus so it will be easier
to get her wheelchair off.
Our fourth cutting of hay
The Amish
Cook
was put in last night. Hay
prices are still very high.
Jacob, Emma, and family and
Elizabeth’s friend Timothy
and Susan’s friend Mose
assisted us with the hay. For
supper we had barbecued
hamburger and ribs, potatoes, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, green peppers, and ice
cream cake. The ice cream
cake was brought by Jacob’s
in honor of their oldest
daughter Elizabeth’s 16th
birthday. It is something different for Emma and Jacob to
have a child old enough to be
with the youth. (Editor’s Note:
at age 16, Amish children are
able to attend the young person’s gatherings)
Joe doesn’t have work
tomorrow so he plans to till
up the garden parts that are
done for the year. Tonight he
will go fishing with Timothy.
That is always relaxing to him
and especially with the hay
being in the barn.

‘Energy Economics’
seminar slated at ONU
ADA — The Ohio Northern
University T.J. Smull College
of Engineering will host a
seminar, “Energy Economics
– Keeping the Lights On,” at
The Inn on the campus of
ONU on Friday, Oct. 5, at
7:30 p.m.
Jan Klaiss, a senior planning analyst at Consolidated
Edison (ConEd) in New York
City, will be the featured
speaker. This event will concentrate on the economics of
the energy industry and its
impact on the field of engineering. Klaiss’ presentation
will cover how energy economics has gone from focusing on the supply of electricity (in the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s)
to today’s demand for electricity, along with how deregulation has pushed the
change. The presentation
also will cover the confusion
about how to approach supply to grid to demand.
Klaiss graduated from
ONU in 1979 with a Bachelor
of Science in civil engineer-
Psychedelic mushrooms seized
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Toledo police say more than 135
pounds of psychedelic mushrooms seized from several northwest Ohio homes have an estimated value of $3.1 million.
Three men have been charged with drug-related felony
counts in connection with the alleged growing operation. It
was discovered early this week by police responding to a report
of a burglary at a Toledo home.
Police said they believe the growing operation had been
ongoing for several years and that the distribution extended
beyond the city, though they declined to share details.

tismal services for Albert’s
daughter Irene. We hired a
driver to take us as it was 22
miles from our house.
We have three wedding
invitations on our refrigerator.
Congratulations go to Delmar
and Polly who will be united
in marriage on Sept. 19. Also
to Clyde and Dora who will
unite their lives as one on
Sept. 27. Both the grooms
work at the same factory as
Joe does. And we were surprised to receive an invitation
to the wedding of Menno and
Maggie on Oct. 6. Menno’s
father, Leander, would be a
cousin to Joe. They grew up
together and made many
memories. We wish God’s
blessings to all the couples
and wish them many happy
health years together. It
seems short years ago that
our own wedding day was and
it has already been 19 years.
On a sadder note our
thoughts travel to dear
Mother’s death 10 years ago
on Sept. 17. I often wish my
younger children would have
been able to meet their grand-
mother. She was a wonderful
person and will always be
greatly missed. I will say the
words she often said “God
makes no mistakes.”
With us being in the middle
of salsa season, I thought I’d
share my recipe. After making
the salsa, I can make mine so
it keeps longer. But you can
freeze this and you can also
cut the recipe way down to
family size and serve immediately, this doesn’t have to be
stored.

Rate increases for most
WASHINGTON (AP) — Unemployment rates rose in more
than half of U.S. states last month, the latest evidence that
hiring remains tepid across the country.
The Labor Department said Friday that rates increased in
26 states. They fell in 12 states and were unchanged in the
other 12.
Unemployment also rose in seven of the 11 key swing states
in this year’s presidential election.
Nationwide, employers added only 96,000 jobs in August.
That’s below July’s gain of 141,000 and the average of
226,000 jobs a month added in the January-March quarter.

NEW YORK (AP) — The
market took a recess Friday
from the Fed rally.
Stocks have been pushing
higher for weeks, not because
investors think the economy
is healed but because of
expectations, then confirmation, that the Federal Reserve
would step in and try to fix it.
Most of Friday seemed like
another day in the Fed rally,
which began in earnest early
this month, until stocks
slipped in the late afternoon.
The Dow Jones industrial
average rose as much as 50
points before falling into the
red in the last half-hour of
trading. It’s just the fourth
day in September that the
Dow hasn’t managed a gain.
Still, the declines were
small. The Dow lost 17.46
points, or 0.1 percent, to
13,579.47. The Standard &
Poor’s 500 fell in the final
minutes of trading, closing
down a minuscule 0.11 point,
or 0.01 percent, to 1,460.15.
The other main index, the
Nasdaq composite, rose four
points, or 0.1 percent, to
3,179.96.
Despite the Friday blip,
stocks are still much higher
than might be expected for
such a morose economy. This
month, the Dow and the S&P
started trading at levels not
seen since December 2007,
nine months before the fall of
Lehman Brothers investment
bank. Since the start of June,
the Dow has popped nearly
1,200 points.
But the stock market’s
party mode doesn’t mean the
underlying economy is healed
— far from it. The summer
rally is mostly the result of
vows by the Federal Reserve
and other central banks, like
the Bank of Japan and the
European Central Bank, to
do more to try to help.
But the promises are also
an unsettling reminder: The
central banks think the economy is so bad that it can’t
bounce back on its own.
“It’s just a big illusion,”
said Bob Phillips, managing
partner
at
Spectrum
Management
Group
in
Indianapolis. The economy,
he said, is still a “no man’s
land” plagued by high unemployment and slow growth.
The signs were obvious
Friday:
The
Labor
Department reported that the
unemployment rate rose in
26 states last month. The
World Trade Organization cut
its estimates for growth in
global trade for this year and
next.
In Europe, Spain was
reportedly close to asking for
a bailout from Europe. The
finance minister of Germany,
which has paid for much of
the previous bailouts, shot
back that Spain doesn’t need
it.
It’s all a reminder that
there’s only so much the Fed
can do. It can’t fix the fiscal
cliff facing the U.S. government, the higher taxes and
government spending cuts
that take effect next year
unless Congress acts. Others
worry that the Fed has used
up all the tricks that have
previously fueled the stock
market.

Kroger adds
clothing to
shopping list
NEW YORK (AP) — Add a
pair of blue jeans to the grocery
list.
Shoppers at a remodeled
Kroger store in Mansfield,
Ohio, are now able to buy
clothing in addition to food, gas
and furniture. The nation’s
largest traditional supermarket
chain says it is the first time
one of its namesake stores sells
clothing.
“It’s a one-store test. We’ll
see how that goes and make
decisions based on customer
feedback,” said Keith Dailey, a
spokesman for The Kroger Co.
The test comes as traditional supermarkets struggle to
compete with big-box retailers
such as Target Corp. and WalMart Stores Inc., which have
expanded their food sections
and draw shoppers with low
prices. Traditional supermarkets now account for 51 percent of grocery sales, down
from 66 percent in 2000,
according to UBS Investment
Research.
To hang onto customers,
Kroger has been working to
improve the shopping experience and differentiate itself
from the pack. For example,
the company has cut down on
checkout wait times and offers
a loyalty program that offers
customers discounts base on
their past purchases.
In select locations, it also
has “cheese masters,” or associates who wear red jackets
and offer customers expertise
on cheese selections.
The clothing section at the
Kroger
Marketplace
in
Mansfield has shoes, jewelry
and undergarments, including
brands such as Skechers,
Hanes and Levi’s.
Kroger’s “Marketplace” locations are larger than its typical
grocery stores, and sell car
parts and furniture in addition
to groceries. Dailey said the
development
of
Kroger
Marketplace has been helped
by the company’s acquisition of
Fred Meyer in 1999.

Are Democratic moles
bringing down Romney?
It just HAS to be how it
happened:
TO: Bob Shrum, James
Carville, Ed Schultz and
Democratic
National
Committee staff.
FROM:
Howard
Schmidlap,
President,
Political Sandbaggers Corp.,
Oriskiny Falls, N.Y.
RE: Your success as moles
in the Romney campaign.
Kudos to all of you. As
America's most successful
political sabotage expert, I
need to congratulate you on
how we've gotten the Romney
campaign to do precisely
what we needed to maximize
Barack Obama's re-election
chances this fall. If Obama
himself had given Romney
detailed instructions, we
couldn't be happier.
First, Bob Shrum: I
admired your work on John
Kerry's Presidential campaign, love your insightful
commentary as a cable TV
liberal talking head and your
excellent column in The Week
magazine. But I admire far
MORE your willingness to
shave, slap on that white wig
and slip into that pink-flowered dress disguised as
Barbara Bush so you could
plant a few ideas in Mitt's
head. In your three hour-long
visits with Romney and his
wife Anne, you as Barbara
often talked about 47 percent
of Obama supporters not paying taxes and being dependent on the government and
how they'd not vote for the
GOP.
This stuck in his mind...
he parroted you at a Florida
fundraiser, it was secretly
taped, and published via
Mother Jones to result in
what Republican David Frum
called "the worst presidentialcandidate gaffe since Gerald
Ford announced in 1976 that
'there is no Soviet domination
of Eastern Europe.'"
Bob, I know it was painful
and difficult squeezing into
that Fingerhut girdle, but it
Joe
Gandelman
Syndicated
columnist
would have been worse if you
were Chris Christie. I promise
you'll never be asked to do
that again.
And, hey, Ed Schultz.
Yours truly and others often
have remarked how at times
your voice almost sounds like
Rush Limbaugh's. Your late
night calls to Romney on
phones using a fake Rush
Limbaugh caller I.D. imitating
Rush and telling Romney he
needed to immediately get
much more aggressive with
Obama was masterful. What
else could explain his damaging, self-destructive reaction
to the tragic events in Egypt
and Libya?
Also, your advice to him to
refer to the Democratic Party
as the "Democrat Party" was
brilliant. Republicans use
that name because they know
Democrats don't like it. But it
turns off many centrist
Democrats and independents.
CNN's Don Lemon recently
told a Republican guest who
used it to use the party's real
name. Each time Romney
uses it he pegs himself as just
one more tiresome partisan
pol, creating a barrier with
some independent voters.
Ed: I have some criticism
from what I saw on the tape,
however. Rush would never
go on and on about those
brave union workers resisting
Gov.
Scott
Walker
in
Wisconsin. Still, Romney
seemed to think you were the
real Rush. He kept saying,
"Yes, Master..."
Either he thought you were
Rush Limbaugh or Sherman
Adelson.
James Carville: The makeup artist Steven Spielberg
sent us did a topnotch job in
making you look like Romney
advisor Stuart Steven's assistant who was eating dinner at
Jack in the Box. Your presence in the room and convincing
arguments
that
Romney absolutely had to call
a late night press conference
to respond to the Mothers
Jones video and not back
down from his comments did
the trick! It made things
worse.
DNC staff: Thanks a zillion
for the phrase snippets you
suggested our operatives get
GOPers to use that would
turn off Latino, women,
African-American and independent voters in droves.
They went after them like a
fish after a baited hook.
FYI: Some old guy with a
blue Mohawk and nose piercings is hanging around
Obama headquarters talking
to David Axelrod and trying to
give him advice. There was
something about his twisted
lip and perpetually nauseated
look when he talked. I have to
call Axelrod. I think it was
Dick Cheney.
Love, Howard
P.S.: Just got off the phone
with Axlerod and we need
someone to get Romney to say
something so he loses the
first debate. Bob: I really hate
to ask you this, but slip into
your Barbara Bush disguise
ASAP and convince Romney
to cock his head and say,
"There you go again!"

Michael
Reagan
Political
consultant
This tragic episode once
again proves that the incompetenc e of this president is
not limited to the home
front, where the economy
stagnates and deficits and
gas prices soar.
In the Middle East,
Obama and his Chicago
Gang have confused our
friends and emboldened our
enemies with a foreign policy
that has been a mix of ineptness,
appeasement
and
naivete.
Remember when Obama
boasted in Cairo that the
Muslim world was going to
fall in love with the USA
because it had just elected a
president who had generations of Muslims in his
ancestry?
Boy, the Muslims in Libya
and Egypt sure have a
strange way of showing their
love for America.
Obama's cowering reaction to the Middle East crisis
-- and his refusal to man-up
and act like the president of
the United States -- begs the
question:
"What
would
Ronald Reagan do?"
My dad knew how good
the nuts in California were at
making bad movies. But he
certainly would never have
blamed a motion picture or a
trailer on YouTube for what's
going on in th e Middle East.
When the Marine barracks were blown up in
Lebanon in 1983, Ronald
Reagan didn't blame it on
anyone else.
He accepted responsibility
for the Marines dying. But he
also used the event to come
on TV and talk to the
American people and explain
why it was so important for
us to be in the Middle East.
What did this president do
when our invaluable Libyan
ambassador Chris Stevens
was assassinated in a wellplanned attack by Muslim
extremists? He went to Vegas
for a fundraiser event and
made
another
political
speech.
Being president of the
United States is not about
being a good guy to play
hoops with, or to have a cold
beer with -- it's about being
able to take a position of
leadership when trouble
comes.
It means standing up for
American values like freedom of speech, not apologizing for them. And it means
standing up for our policies
in the Middle East, not
throwing them overboard
whenever they are challenged.
President Obama is a glaring sign of the absolute
weakening of America. You
might call what he has been
doing "The Wussification of
the White House."
But blaming what happened in Libya and Egypt on
a YouTube trailer is not just
cowardly, it's absurd. Next
week Obama will be blaming
the 1992 Disney movie
"Aladdin" for inciting Muslim
mobs to burn down KFC
stores or kill Americans.
Mr. President, when trouble came our way my father
manned up. It's time for you
to do the same. "Let's roll."

Not making music together
DEAR ABBY: I'm 15 and I
really like this boy, but I can't
find the courage to ask him
out. I'm pretty sure he likes
me, too, because whenever
we're together he holds my
hand or puts his arms around
me.
He has a great smile and
personality. We have many
things in common, such as we
both play an instrument, we
make each other laugh and
we're both close with our families. What I don't understand
is why he hasn't made a move
yet to ask me out. -- NEEDS
LOVE HELP
DEAR NEEDS LOVE HELP:
I can think of a few reasons,
and none of them have anything to do with how much he
likes you. He may not be able
to afford to ask you out, he
may feel shy, he may not feel
ready to date, or his parents
may prefer that he concentrate on something other than
romance. Some teens get
around this by socializing in
groups, so instead of asking
him "out," consider asking if
he'd like to join you and a
group of your friends sometime.
–––––
DEAR ABBY: I'm an 18year-old woman who lives at
home with my parents. I have
been seeing an amazing person for a while now. There is
just one problem. My mother
has decided to put "rules" on
our relationship.
By rules, I mean: a curfew,
how often I see him, where I
am to be with him and various
other things. Also, she randomly blurts out that I am
"never to move in with him
Jeanne
Phillips
Syndicated
columnist
until I am married." I don't
plan on moving in with him
until we both have our college
degrees.
I am technically an adult,
which means to me that I can
make my own decisions and
suffer the consequences if
there are any. I know I live in
my parents' home. I follow
their rules and respect their
wishes -- but this is a bit
extreme, don't you think?
Abby, please advise me on
how to explain to my mom
that I'm an adult and not a
newborn baby as she regards
me? -- NOT A CHILD ANYMORE IN OHIO
DEAR NOT A CHILD:
Although you may be an adult
in the eyes of the law in Ohio,
you are not INDEPENDENT.
As long as you are dependent
upon your parents for shelter,
food or anything else there is a
price you will have to pay. In
this case, the price you are
paying is your mother's loving
but hawklike supervision. And
if you think you or I can talk
her out of it, you're dreaming.
–––––
DEAR ABBY: My wife and I
were invited to my brother's
wedding, and we accepted.
Later, my brother asked me to
be a groomsman.
My wife is upset because I
didn't ask her if she minded
that I'll be in the wedding and
I will walk down the aisle with
one of the bridesmaids. She
feels that my walking with
another woman is a "date" and
disrespectful to her. Is it proper wedding etiquette to accept
an invitation to be in a wedding if you are married? -GROOMSMAN
IN
THE
SOUTH
DEAR GROOMSMAN: It is
very common for the brother
of the groom to be in his wedding party -- and marital status has nothing to do with it.
Escorting an assigned bridesmaid to and from the altar is
NOT a "date," nor is it disrespectful to your wife, who may
really be upset because she
wasn't also asked to be part of
the wedding party.

Security for U.S. embassies
The Associated Press
Excerpts from recent editorials in newspapers in the
United States:
———
Sept. 18
The Journal, Martinsburg,
W.Va., on foreign aid:
Dispatching Navy vessels
armed with cruise missiles to
take station off the coast of
Libya and sending 50 more
Marines to protect the U.S.
embassy in Tripoli probably
were necessary to safeguard
American diplomatic personnel in that country.
Four of them already have
died at the hands of Islamic
extremists who attacked the
U.S. embassy in Benghazi
recently.
U.S. officials are investigating whether the assault and
rioting at the American
embassy in Cairo were part of
a campaign of violence organized by Muslim terrorist
groups. If so, it will be nothing
new. Terrorists such as those
in al-Qaida have made scores
of attacks and claimed hundreds of victims throughout
the world since Sept. 11, 2001.
But the military response to
violence in Libya must be a
limited one. Even if the United
States had the military
resources to send such forces
to embassies in every country
where Islamic terrorists might
attack, the sovereign nations
involved would not tolerate
such presences for long.
Traditionally, it has been
the responsibility of countries
hosting embassies from other
nations to keep them and their
personnel safe. There are indi-
cations the Libyan government
attempted to do so in
Benghazi, but failed in the face
of an enormous, well-armed
mob.
Still, U.S. policy should rest
on a demand that countries
where we have embassies take
their safety seriously. If that is
not done, the embassies
should be closed. They are
staffed by diplomats, not soldiers, who should not be
exposed to unnecessary danger.

Sept. 15
The
Clarion-Ledger,
Jackson, Miss., on re-assessing anti-terrorism efforts:
Eleven years after the 9/11
attacks, regular reminders
about that awful day persist,
whenever you pass through an
airport, see the altered
Manhattan skyline or hear
about the latest casualties in
Afghanistan. Less visibly, millions of security cameras track
your movements, and the government has amassed vast
powers to snoop on you.
But the palpable sense of
fear that gripped the nation
has dissipated, and terrorism
has taken a back seat to the
economy and other issues in
the presidential campaign,
something that would have
been unimaginable in the fall
of 2001.
As important as the economy is, terrorism shouldn’t be
relegated to an afterthought.
Of the many things done following 9/11, some were smart
(reinforcing cockpit doors on
jetliners) and some were silly
(the color-coded alert system).
After 11 years, it’s time to
reassess the threat and recalibrate the responses.
The threat has evolved.
Osama bin Laden is dead, and
his al-Qaida organization is on
the ropes, far less able to
mount a 9/11-style attack. Its
effort to recruit Muslims in the
U.S. for terrorism has mostly
been a flop. ...
At the same time, the threat
is far from eradicated. Bin
Laden’s successor, Ayman alZawahri, remains at large. The
Taliban, which sheltered bin
Laden before 9/11, continues
trying to reclaim power in
Afghanistan. Radical Islamists
are seeking a foothold in failing states in the Middle East
and Africa. A showdown over
Iran’s nuclear program could
bring about a resurgence of
Iranian-sponsored terrorism,
either from Tehran or its
Hezbollah allies. Then there’s
the continuing danger from
home-grown terrorists, be they
self-activated jihadists like
Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan
or non-Muslim anti-government fanatics. ...
Former New Jersey governor Thomas Kean, who cochaired the 9/11 Commission,
tells us “this is exactly the
right time” to re-examine the
threat and response. He’d like
to see Congress do the job
itself.
But if that can’t happen —
either because members are
too partisan or find it impossible to decide what not to do —
then the job should go to
another independent commission, which could provide the
necessary political cover.

Studies more firmly tie
sugary drinks to obesity
By MARILYNN MARCHIONE
AP Chief Medical Writer
New research powerfully
strengthens the case against
soda and other sugary drinks
as culprits in the obesity epidemic.
A huge, decades-long study
involving more than 33,000
Americans has yielded the first
clear proof that drinking sugary beverages interacts with
genes that affect weight, amplifying a person’s risk of obesity
beyond what it would be from
heredity alone.
This means that such
drinks are especially harmful
to people with genes that predispose them to weight gain.
And most of us have at least
some of these genes.
In addition, two other major
experiments have found that
giving children and teens calorie-free alternatives to the sugary drinks they usually consume leads to less weight gain.
Collectively, the results
strongly suggest that sugary
drinks cause people to pack on
the pounds, independent of
other unhealthy behavior such
as overeating and getting too
little exercise, scientists say.
That adds weight to the
push for taxes, portion limits
like the one just adopted in
New York City, and other policies to curb consumption of
soda, juice drinks and sports
beverages sweetened with
sugar.
Soda lovers do get some
good news: Sugar-free drinks
did not raise the risk of obesity
in these studies.
“You may be able to fool the
taste” and satisfy a sweet tooth
without paying a price in
weight, said an obesity
researcher with no role in the
studies, Rudy Leibel of
Columbia University.
The studies were being presented Friday at an obesity
conference in San Antonio and
were published online by the
New England Journal of
Medicine.
The gene research in particular fills a major gap in what
we know about obesity. It was
a huge undertaking, involving
three long-running studies
that separately and collectively
reached the same conclusions.
It shows how behavior combines with heredity to affect
how fat we become.
Having many of these genes
does not guarantee people will
become obese, but if they drink
a lot of sugary beverages, “they
fulfill that fate,” said an expert
with no role in the research,
Jules Hirsch of Rockefeller
University in New York. “The
sweet drinking and the fatness
are going together, and it’s
more evident in the genetic
predisposition people.”
Sugary drinks are the single
biggest source of calories in the
American diet, and they are
increasingly blamed for the
fact that a third of U.S. children and teens and more than
two-thirds of adults are obese
or overweight.
Consumption of sugary
drinks and obesity rates have
risen in tandem — both have
more than doubled since the
1970s in the U.S.
But that doesn’t prove that
these drinks cause obesity.
Genes, inactivity and eating
fatty foods or just too much
food also play a role. Also, diet
research on children is especially tough because kids are
growing and naturally gaining
weight.
Until now, high-quality
experiments have not conclusively shown that reducing
sugary beverages would lower
weight or body fat, said David
Allison, a biostatistician who
has done beverage research at
the University of Alabama at
Birmingham, some of it with
industry support.
NOTICE OF SPECIAL PUBLIC
MEETING
Hale Township Trustees have scheduled a special
public meeting Monday, September 24, 2012 at 7:00
PM for the purpose of discussion of the proposed
closing of the railroad crossing on Twp. Rd. 179 by the
Ohio Rail Development Commission and CSX. Any
and all residents of Hale Township interested in this
should plan to attend. The meeting will be held at Hale
Township offices located at 206 South West Street in
Mt. Victory and this will be the only order of business.
By order of the Hale Township Trustees,
Pamelia K. Arnold, Fiscal Officer
WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt
Romney, one of the wealthiest
candidates ever to seek the
presidency, paid nearly $2
million in federal taxes on
$13.7 million in income that
he and his wife reported last
year, his U.S. returns showed
Friday. That came to an effective tax rate of 14.1 percent,
lower than millions of middleincome Americans but actually more than he had to pay.
Most of Romney’s income
was from investment returns.
That is why his rate was lower
than taxpayers whose income
was mostly from wages, which
can be taxed at higher rates.
Romney’s
taxes
have
emerged as a key issue during
the 2012 presidential race
with
President
Barack
Obama. Romney released his
2010 returns in January, but
he continues to decline to disclose returns from previous
years — including those while
he worked at Bain Capital, the
private equity firm he cofounded.
The Obama campaign and
other Democrats have pushed
for fuller disclosures, reminding the Republican candidate
that his father, George
Romney, released a dozen
years of returns when he ran
for president.
Overall, the Romneys’ main
tax return and separate forms
for blind trusts totaled over
800 pages. The blind-trust
income came from hedge
funds and other complex
investment vehicles. The couple also reported $3.5 million
in income “from sources outside the United States,” citing
“various countries.”
Their
forms included filings on
holdings
in
Switzerland,
Ireland, Germany and the
Cayman Islands.
The Obama campaign
accused Romney anew of profiting from millions invested
overseas and “loopholes and
tax shelters only available to
those at the top.”
Apparently
hoping
to
resolve basic questions voters
might have, the Romney campaign also released a letter
from his accountants saying
that in the 20 years prior to
2010 the Romneys paid an
average annual effective rate
of 20.2 percent, never lower
than 13.66 percent. On average, middle-income families —
those making from $50,000 to
$75,000 a year — pay 12.8
percent of their income in federal taxes, according to
Congress’ Joint Committee on
Taxation. But many pay a
higher rate.
The former Massachusetts
governor, whose wealth is
estimated at perhaps $250
million, is aggressively competing with Obama for the
support of middle class voters.
Obama’s own tax return for
last year showed that he and
his wife, Michelle, paid
$162,074 in federal taxes on
$789,674 in adjusted gross
income, an effective tax rate of
20.5 percent. Their income
plunged from $1.7 million in
2010, with declining sales of
the president’s books. In
2009, the Obamas reported
income of $5.5 million, fueled
by the best-selling books.
The Romneys’ tax bill could
have been lower.
For the year, they claimed a
deduction for $2.25 million of
their $4.021 million in charitable contributions, said Brad
Malt, trustee of the candidate’s blind trust.
The Romneys gave $2.6
million in cash to the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, the documents show.
They gave just over $2 million
in non-cash charitable contributions — including donations of stock holdings in
Domino’s
Pizza,
Dunkin
Donuts and Warner Chilcott
— to a family trust.
They could have claimed
more in deductions, Malt said,
but the couple “limited their
deductions of charitable contributions to conform to the
governor’s
statement
(n
August, based on the January
estimate of income, that he
paid at least 13 percent in
income taxes in each of the
last 10 years.”
Family toasts mother after
husband’s murder conviction
By MICHAEL TARM
Associated Press
JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — Relatives
of Kimberly Vaughn marked a
bittersweet day with her
favorite drink — a lemon drop
martini, a family spokesman
said Friday.
Chicago-area jurors convicted Christopher Vaughn of
murdering Kimberly, his 34year-old wife, and their three
kids after just 50 minutes of
deliberations Thursday.
“They feel justice has been
done,” said David Butsch, a
lawyer in Missouri where
Kimberly Vaughn’s parents
live.
The successful computer
specialist wanted his family
out of the way, prosecutors
said, to pursue his dream of
starting a new life subsisting
in the Canadian wilderness.
Their speed was telling,
Butsch said.
“As a rule of thumb, there’s
an hour of deliberation for
each day of a trial,” he said.
“When they come back in less
than an hour, it tells you
there’s no debate as to his
guilt.”
Jurors came back so quickly that family members who
had withdrawn to McBrody’s
Bar & Grill to await a verdict
had to run back to the Joliet
courthouse — leaving their
food behind.
Afterward, family members
returned
and
ordered
Kimberly’s Vaughn’s beloved
cocktail. And when also jurors
showed up, her relatives
applauded and said, “Thank
you,” as each walked by their
table.
The 2007 quadruple murder started as a death penalty
case, slowing the pace to trial.
But Illinois has since abolished capital punishment,
meaning Vaughn now faces a
life term when sentenced Nov.
26.
“He’ll spend the rest of his
life staring at the cold walls of
his prison cell, then he’ll meet
his maker for his real punishment,” Will County State’s
Attorney James Glasgow told
reporters after the verdict.
Before the killings, Vaughn
became obsessed with Druid
beliefs in the spirituality of
nature. He told a friend he
longed for a life unencumbered
by cellphones and other hallmarks of modernity. He considered asking a stripper he
had a crush on to join him.
“He was held back by four
major obstacles in his life,”
prosecutor Chris Regis said in
his closing. “Those four obstacles were eliminated on June
14, 2007.”
That day, Vaughn awoke
his wife and children, promising a surprise trip to a water
park. Just after 5 a.m., he
pulled the family SUV off the
highway, placed a pistol under
his Kimberly’s chin and fired.
He then shot 12-year-old
Abigayle,
11-year-old
Cassandra and 8-year-old

Informant in Ohio DEA
agent case dies in prison
CLEVELAND (AP) — A paid informant who says he framed
17 people with a federal drug agent has died in prison.
Jerrell Bray was an informant for Drug Enforcement
Administration agent Lee Lucas in a botched 2005 Mansfield
drug sting.
Lucas was acquitted in 2010 of charges he framed suspects, while Bray pleaded guilty to perjury and civil rights violations against those targeted in his role as an informant.
Federal prisons spokesman Chris Burke said Friday that
the 40-year-old Bray died Sept. 9 at a medium security prison
in Butner, N.C.
Burke said he did not have a cause of death.
each in the chest and head.
Their bodies were buckled
in the back seat. Blake’s
wounds indicated he had
raised his arm — to shield
himself.
Vaughn blamed his wife.
His lawyers told jurors she was
suicidal over marital strife.
They suggested she shot her
husband in the wrist and leg,
and then killed the children
and herself.
Prosecutors balked. They
told jurors to ask themselves
how a woman who disliked
guns could have grazed her
husband with two bullets, but
with a marksman’s expertise
shot her children in the head.
For the most part, Vaughn
never displayed a hint of guilty
conscience or concern about
his kids after the killings, prosecutors said. But in a video
shown at trial, he seemed
haunted, at least momentarily,
when left alone in an interview
room with a crime-scene photo
of his son’s bloodied body.
Video shows him staring at the
picture, then pushing it away,
then covering it up.

U.S. releases names of Guantanamo detainees
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico
(AP) — The U.S. Justice
Department on Friday made
public the names of 55
Guantanamo prisoners who
have been approved for transfer to the custody of other
countries, releasing information sought by human rights
organizations.
The announcement, which
reverses a 2009 decision, was
a surprise to organizations
that had filed FOIA requests
seeking the information.
“We did not expect this,”
said Omar Farah, attorney for
the Center for Constitutional
Rights. “This is an important
development.”
Farah said the government’s action will be a boost
for lawyers representing
detainees at the U.S. military
base in Cuba. “We can now
advocate publicly for the
release of our clients by
name,” he said.
The government’s move
has no immediate, practical
effect on the inmates’ deten-

does not mean that the U.S.
has absolved them of any
wrongdoing or that it believes
they pose no threat, and there
was no indication of when
any might be sent elsewhere.
In
2009,
Ambassador
Daniel Fried, the Obama
administration’s
special
envoy on detainee issues,
argued then that it was necessary to keep the prisoners’
identities secret while the
U.S. negotiated transfers to
other countries.
“It is important for the U.S.
government to have the latitude to approach potential
destination countries in a discreet and confidential manner, in order to minimize the
risk of undue publicity,” Fried
said in a statement at the
time.
But the government said in
a court filing Friday that the
successful transfers of other

detainees no longer warranted such concerns. It noted
that 40 detainees have been
resettled in new countries
and 28 were repatriated to
their native countries since
2009.

naming of 55 prisoners

it could help speed up their

Jim Brown: ‘I am forever a Cleveland Brown’
By TOM WITHERS
AP Sports Writer
AVON, Ohio (AP) — Two years after
a messy breakup with the team he led
to its last NFL championship, the
team he gave everything he to for nine
seasons and the team he left at the
peak of his playing career, Jim Brown
wanted to make one thing perfectly
clear.
“I am forever a Cleveland Brown,”
he said.
And the Browns are forever him.
The Hall of Fame running back,
who had been estranged from the
Browns’ organization after he was
relieved of his duties as a senior
adviser, attended an alumni golf
outing Friday with some of his former
teammates. Before teeing off, Brown
spoke for nearly 30 minutes with his
usual candor and directness.
Walking better than he has in years
and finally pain free following two hip
replacements, the legendary 76-yearold opened up on a number of topics.
As always, Brown had plenty to say
and he didn’t hold back.
Brown hopes to work again for the
Browns and said he’ll meet Saturday
with incoming owner Jimmy Haslam
III, who recently purchased the
Browns for $1 billion from Randy
Lerner. Brown wants to have an
impact on some of Cleveland’s young
players and feels he can help the
Browns accelerate their turnaround.
“I would love to have a role with the
Browns,” said Brown, who was
accompanied by his wife, Monique. “I
think that’s what every ex-player
would like to do most of all, to be a
contributor to the success of an
organization. I’m stuck with being No.
32 of the Cleveland Browns and I can’t
do anything about it. I don’t want to
do anything about it.
“If you didn’t like the ball, that’s
one thing. You’re not going to always
like my politics, but we are married
because of that history. If I can be a
part of the development of a new
winning attitude and help get some
victories, man that would be fantastic.
Imagine us having a championship
team here again?”
Brown is looking forward to
meeting with Haslam, the truck-stop
magnate whose purchase is expected
to be approved next month at the
owner’s meetings.
“What an opportunity to be able to
sit down with him,” said Brown,
whose main reason for coming back to
Cleveland was to help induct former
teammate Ernie Green into the
Browns’ legends club. “He can express
himself and I can express myself. It’s a
beautiful thing.”
Brown’s departure from the Browns
was anything but beautiful.
Two years ago, Brown was
informed by team president Mike
Holmgren — at the urging of Lerner —
that his role with the team was being
diminished. What followed was a
nasty spat that included angry letters,
public
posturing
and
Brown
boycotting a halftime ceremony in
2010 when the Browns unveiled a ring
of honor at their stadium.
This week, Holmgren reached out
to Brown with the hope that they
could meet and talk through any
differences. Brown said he appreciated
Holmgren’s gesture and was anxious
to sit down with Holmgren.
“We didn’t have a much of a
confrontation,” Brown said. “It’s that
respect is always important among all
of us.”
Holmgren is eager to meet with
Brown.
“He’s one of my longtime idols,”
Holmgren
said
before
watching
practice Friday in Berea. “He’s a very,
very
important
part
of
this
organization and I’m really very happy
he’s coming in for the weekend and I
hope to get a chance to visit with
him.”
Brown explained that his exit from
the team was because a contract was
broken.
“I’m going to be very honest with
you, tell you the real deal,” Brown
said. “I had an agreement with the
Browns and a part of the agreement
was that I answer to no one but the
owner. So Randy and I never had a
talk. Holmgren and I had a talk that
Randy and I should have had. But I
didn’t pull a check on it because if a
man doesn’t sit down with you and he
sends another man to sit down with
you, you know that’s not going to be a
good conversation.
“It was a difficult situation for him
(Holmgren). And what he proposed
was not something that I thought was
very respectful. Being an old man, old
people like to be respected.”
Brown also yearned to be wanted,
and his separation from the Browns
was painful.
“I do miss being around,” he said.
While he and the Browns were at
odds, Brown caused another stir when
he called rookie running back Trent
Richardson
“ordinary”
before
Cleveland selected him in the draft.
But after watching Richardson the
past two weeks, Brown has been
impressed with the 22-year-old.
Last week, Richardson rushed for
109 yards and scored two touchdowns
at Cincinnati.
Brown said he made the comments
— “it was like a firestorm coming out
of the mountains” — to try and
motivate Richardson.
“There is no disrespect in waiting to
see a person prove himself,” Brown
said. “If you pick out a future Hall of
Famer you want to truly believe 100
percent that this guy has that kind of
talent. The great thing is that I saw a
flash of the talent and I loved it. Why
wouldn’t you love to see a running
back make two, three, four or five
moves and shed those tacklers?
“I was happy to see him show that
kind of talent. And if it showed it on
two or three plays, you know he has
it. If he works hard enough and
dedicates himself and has the good
fortune not to get injured than he can
have a real fine career.”
Brown ended his career at its
pinnacle, leaving the Browns after the
1965 season to pursue an acting
career.
There may be decisions he regrets,
but that’s not one of them.
“I always wanted to retire on top,”
he said. “I feel that I left a legacy that
nobody can mess with. Want to know
that it is? ‘64 championship. ‘65 most
valuable player. 29 years old. Raquel
Welch my leading lady.”
Brown laughed.
It was as if he never left.
UAB, Ohio State have different goals in matchup
By RUSTY MILLER
AP Sports Writer
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) —
There are wins and then there
are small victories.
Garrick McGee has to
settle for the latter.
In his first season as the
coach at UAB, he’s trying to
upgrade a program that has
struggled in the transition in
the public’s perspective from
sneaky-good basketball power
to big-time football contender.
He knows he doesn’t have as
much talent as No. 16 Ohio
State
does
coming
into
Saturday’s game at Ohio
Stadium.
So McGee measures a
season
in
incremental
improvements. That’s what
you do when your team is 0-2
and a 37-point underdog.
“It is really hard, because
there is no evidence with the
wins and losses,” he said of
the small steps forward his
team has already made
despite losing 39-29 to Troy
and 49-6 last week at No. 8
South Carolina. “If you really
study the film and really
study the guys’ technique and
their understanding of the
game plan on offense and
defense,
the
way
they
communicated, got lined up,
recognized formations — they
weren’t out of control. There
are a lot of small wins that
happened, especially in the
first two and a half quarters
of the (last) game.”
McGee, a former assistant
at Northwestern and Georgia
Tech among other stops, is
hoping his team can just
make a decent showing,
maybe score some points, and
learn from the experience of
performing before 105,000
hostile fans.
The Buckeyes (3-0), on the
other hand, will use the game
as their final tune-up before
embarking on Big Ten play.
Their
standard
is
considerably different from
UAB’s.
Asked if this is a difficult
week for his players, finishing
up the appetizers against a
winless team before getting on
to the main course at
Michigan State, coach Urban
Meyer pointed to all of the
things his team was doing
wrong.
“If we were playing great, it
would be, because you would
see a team overlooking a
team,” Meyer said. “Absolutely
not. We’re going to play hard
because we practiced real
hard. You can only control
what goes on around here.”
That’s one thing both
coaches share. Both know
their teams have to get better.
Despite scoring 41 points a
game, the Buckeyes have
actually had a wild ride
through three home games.
They’ve had trouble getting to
quarterbacks at times and
have missed a ton of tackles,
in addition to being too reliant
on
quarterback
Braxton
Miller’s legs on offense. Plus,
the special teams haven’t had
any impact on a game so far.
“I told people after the
game, when we’re good, we’re
pretty dang good,” offensive
coordinator
Tom
Herman
said. “We just have to be good
more often.”
Defensive coordinator Luke
Fickell is clearly miffed at
giving up a series of longgainers.
“(You can’t) make a habit of
it every week you make an
excuse and you say, ‘Man, if
you just take away three
runs,”’ Fickell said a week
after
the
Buckeyes
surrendered
touchdown
carries of 81 and 59 yards
and a 36-yard pass play. “You
know what? You can’t take
away those plays. The only
way you can is to play better.”
Playing
better
is
the
mantra for UAB, too. McGee
inherited a program with high
hopes and low tradition. The
Blazers are riding a string of
seven straight losing seasons
and have just three winning
records and only one bowl
game since jumping to the
Football Bowl Subdivision in
1996.
They know what they’re up
against, at least.
“Playing a Top 10 team was
an eye-opener to show us that
it’s going to be a challenge
wherever we go,” linebacker
Shaq Jones said of the game
in Columbia, S.C. “It’s not
going to be a walk through
the park. It’s not high school
football
where
you
run
around and make easy
tackles. You have to execute
your technique properly in
order to succeed.”
Miller will put pressure on
Jones
and
his
fellow
defenders,
threatening
to
either run or pass. It’s a
dilemma for most teams,
particularly so for a young
team with little margin for
error. If they take a step up to
stop the speedy quarterback,
he might just pull up and
throw to a corps of improving
receivers.
Although there’s very little
chance that UAB could shock
the world, all McGee wants to
see is improvement as his
Decades later, Brooklyn has its own pro team again
NEW YORK (AP) — It was
like a death in the family for
Brooklyn baseball fans when
their beloved Dodgers left the
borough behind in 1957 for
the California coast.
Times
were
grim
for
Brooklyn back then. Residents
were leaving en masse for the
suburbs. Crime was on the
rise. And there was little hope
that the borough’s plight
would improve.
“When the Dodgers left, it
was another punch in the face
to the fact that Brooklyn’s
best days may not be ahead,
but may have been behind
us,” said Brooklyn Borough
President Marty Markowitz,
who was 12 years old at the
time. “It was depressing.”
After decades without a
professional sports team, New
York City’s ascendant borough
hit the major leagues again on
Friday with the opening of the
Brooklyn Nets’ new arena. The
state-of-the-art, 18,000-seat
arena
will
be
officially
christened Sept. 28 with a rap
concert by Nets co-owner and
native Brooklynite Jay-Z.
Supporters cheered Friday
as the lights were turned on
during
a
ribbon-cutting
ceremony.
“This is going to send a
loud and clear message that
Brooklyn has arrived as a
center
of
exciting
entertainment, thrilling big
time sports and thriving
commerce,” New York City
Mayor Michael Bloomberg told
the crowd.
Developer Bruce Ratner
said he was glad the arena is
finally
open
after
its
completion was delayed by
multiple lawsuits and by the
economic downturn. Both
men said the project has
already created more than

President Walter O’Malley

“When they left, that’s
when I washed my hands of
baseball,” said 72-year-old
Fred Wilken, who was so
distraught by the loss of his
hometown team that he
stopped
watching
sports
altogether. “For years we
supported them, we came
down here. And then all of a
sudden they decide to leave.”
The Dodgers were the
golden
thread
that
tied
Brooklyn together in those
days. The fabric of the team

are looking forward to a
different outcome at the

In 1980, the Persian Gulf conflict between
Iran and Iraq erupted into full-scale war that
lasted nearly eight years.
In 1982, the situation comedy “Family Ties”

Five years ago: Secretary of State Condoleezza
Rice spoke briefly with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri
al-Maliki at the United Nations, but they did not

from a U.S. company protecting
One year ago: A group of European

results have since been refuted by other scientists).

Redlegs lose to LA 3-1,
waste chance to clinch
CINCINNATI
(AP)
—
Instead of another clinching
homer, Jay Bruce struck out.
That’s how it went for the
Cincinnati Reds in their first
try at winning the NL
Central.
No worries. Two more
chances were only a few
hours away.
Matt Kemp’s two-out single with the bases loaded in
the 10th inning sent the Los
Angeles Dodgers to a 3-1 victory Friday night that
improved their wild-card
chances and blocked the
Reds’ first try at celebrating a
title.
The Dodgers won for only
the fifth time in 15 games
and moved two games behind
St. Louis for the final NL wild
card.
They
also
trail
Milwaukee by a half-game in
the wild-card race.
Cincinnati was trying to
lock up its second division
title in three years without
manager Dusty Baker, still in
a Chicago hospital. The 63year-old Baker was hospitalized on Wednesday with an
irregular heartbeat.
The Reds will get back-toback opportunities to clinch
on Saturday. The Cardinals
play in Chicago at 1:05 p.m.
EDT, where a loss would give
the title to the Reds at about
the time their 4 p.m. game
against the Dodgers is starting. It’s unclear whether
Baker will be able to attend.
“Of course, everyone in
here and in the organization
wants him to partake in this,
but the reality is he’s got to
Lightning postpones
BL-Tipp game to today
BELLEFONTAINE — Benjamin Logan and Tippecanoe
got off the opening kick Friday evening, but that was all
as the game was postponed due to lightning. It will be
played at 10:30 a.m. today.
P-G halts Polar Bears in
shortened game
PANDORA — Hardin Northern again found itself down
big when Pandora-Gilboa grabbed three quick scores and
soared by the Polar Bears 40-0 in a lightning-shortened
Blanchard Valley Conference contest Friday night.
The host Rockets got things started when they capped
a 67-yard drive with a 12-yard touchdown run by Reed
Hovest.
A fumble on the Polar Bears’ (0-5 overall) ensuing
drive was recovered by P-G. On the Rockets’ next drive,
they found the end zone again to extend their lead.
Just three minutes later, with 11:34 remaining the
first half, the Rockets again scampered to pay dirt to take
a three-score lead.
Pandora-Gilboa didn’t let up in the second half,
adding onto its lead and keeping the Polar Bears off the
scoreboard. But with a little more than a quarter to play,
the game was called following a sighting of lightning.
stay focused on getting
healthy,” bench coach Chris
Speier said. “This is going to
happen. It would be nice if he
was here, but for me, the
sooner the better.”
Just like in 2010, when
they clinched on Bruce’s
leadoff homer in the ninth
inning off Houston’s Tim
Byrdak for a 3-2 victory, the
Reds had a chance at another last-swing celebration.
With the score tied at 1,
Bruce led off the bottom of
the ninth again.
The videoboard showed a
clip of his 2010 homer and
the message: “We Can Do It
Again.” No way Bruce could
avoid thinking about a
repeat.
“I thought about it before
the at-bat, too,” Bruce said.
“It was a pretty big moment
in my career. I didn’t forget
about it. I felt like it was a
playoff atmosphere, a mustwin for them. They played us
tough.”
This time, he struck out.
An inning later, the Dodgers’
slumping
offense
came
through.
Los Angeles loaded the
bases in the 10th off Sam
LeCure (3-3), who hit Elian
Herrera to open the inning.
First baseman Joey Votto
tried for a forceout on A.J.
Ellis’ sacrifice, but skipped
his throw and both runners
were safe. After Nick Punto’s
bunt, Mark Ellis walked to
load the bases.
Sean Marshall fanned
Andre Ethier and got ahead
0-2 in the count to Kemp,
who singled to right to drive
in a pair of runs.
“It was supposed to be out
of the strike zone,” Marshall
said. “It started out of the
strike zone, but then it went
back in. It was a good hit.
We’ll have another chance to
clinch tomorrow.”

Fighting for more
Ada wide receiver Micah Roberson attempts to break free of
a Bluffton defender in Friday night’s lightning-shortened game.
The teams will resume action at 1:30 p.m. today in Ada with the
Bulldogs leading the Pirates 33-14.
Ada takes lead before
lightning steals the show
By JOSÉ NOGUERAS
Times correspondent
BLUFFTON — Ada’s Kellen
Decker appeared on his way to
a career night on the ground
and the Bulldogs were leading
Bluffton, 33-14, before lightning forced the game to be
postponed Friday night. The
game will resume at 1:30 p.m.
today in Ada.
Riding the legs of Decker,
who had accumulated 235
yards in just over two quarters
of work, coupled with a stifling
Bulldog defense, Ada opened
up a 27-0 lead by the end of
the first quarter.
It took three plays for the
Bulldogs to notch their first
touchdown of the game when
Ada took over the ball at their
own 21 following the opening
kickoff. Back-to-back passes
moved the ball to the Bluffton
42-yard line and that is where
the Pirates got a glimpse of
what they were going to
endure when Decker took over.
On the handoff, Decker
sidestepped several Pirate
defenders and rambled 42
yards for the first Ada touchdown. After the successful
extra point, Ada led 7-0 with
less than a minute gone in the
game.
It took less than 10 seconds
for Ada to score its second
touchdown after senior defensive back Micah Roberson
intercepted a Bluffton pass at
the 20 and raced into the end
zone to give Ada a 14-0 lead
with 11:14 left in the first
quarter.
After Ada forced a three-
and-out on Bluffton’s ensuing
possession, Ada took over at
its own 29-yard line. Then like
the lightning, Decker struck
again. This time the fleet-footed senior, after shedding several Pirate defenders, rambled
71 yards for his second touchdown of the game. Ada led 210 with a little more than nine
minutes left in the first quarter.
On two touches, Decker
had 113 yards and two touchdowns.
The Bulldogs took firm control of the game as the first
quarter wound down when
Mason Acheson connected
with Roberson on a short pass
that Roberson turned into six
points with some nifty footwork to cap a Bulldog drive
with a 27-yard run to pay dirt.
After a failed extra point, Ada
led 27-0 with 2:05 left in the
first quarter.
The Pirate offense, which
was pretty much non-existent
in the first 12 minutes of play
and did not get its first first
down until the 9:42 mark of
the second quarter, finally got
some momentum going and
eventually put up six points
when Zach Wilson raced 27
yards for a touchdown.
Even with the rain wreaking
havoc on the field and making
it a slippery mess, it did little
to stop Decker who once again
showed his running prowess
by ripping off his third big play
of the night with a 62-yard
scamper for his third TD. With
4:07 left in the half, Ada led
33-7.
Gophers take lead
over Rams when
contest postponed
By TY THAXTON
Times staff writer
RIDGEWAY — Despite a
lightening-shortened first half,
there was no lack of action as
both Upper Scioto Valley and
Ridgemont hit their strides
early.
With 3:31 remaining in the
second quarter and the host
Golden Gophers (3-1 overall, 01
Northwest
Central
Conference) leading 29-14, the
NWCC game was stopped due
to lightning and postponed to
today at 3 p.m. at Ridgemont.
The two conference and
Hardin County foes got the fireworks
started
early
as
Ridgemont quarterback Tyler
Tillman connected with receiver Corey Eversole for a 35-yard
touchdown pass with just
under two minutes off the
scoreboard. Tim Cowan took in
the two-point conversion to give
the Gophers the 8-0 lead.
The USV (0-4) offense was
there to answer Ridgemont’s
score on its ensuing drive. The
Rams marched down the field
where
quarterback
Cole
Crawford ran the ball into the
end zone from six yards out
with seven minutes left on the
clock. After a failed two-point
conversion attempt, Ridgemont
led 8-6.
The Gophers wasted no time
extending their lead as Tillman
scrambled 53 yards to pay dirt
on the first play of the following
drive. Ridgemont found itself
up 16-6 following a successful
two-point conversion.
USV made sure the intercounty rivalry game lived up to
its hype on its next drive. One
minute after Tillman found the
end zone, receiver and temporary
quarterback
Dylan
Hunsicker completed a pass to
fellow receiver Shane Rofe for a
63-yard touchdown. With the
added two points, USV trailed
16-14.
The Rams made the first
defensive stop on a third down
with 4:42 left in the first, forcing the Gophers to punt. But
the momentum rapidly shifted
as the USV punt returner bobbled
the
ball,
allowing
Ridgemont’s Isaiah Stover to
recover the fumble.
But Ridgemont’s offense
wouldn’t find the sacred turf
again until early in the second
quarter when Tillman again
used his legs to take the ball in,
this time from 11 yards away.
The score pushed the Gopher
lead back to eight points, 2214, with 11:48 left to play in the
quarter.
Tillman again answered the
call on the next Gopher drive,
imitating his last score by taking it to the house from 11
yards out. Chris Weyant booted
the extra point to give
Ridgemont some breathing
room and taking the 29-14
lead.
With time ticking down in
the half, lightning was spotted
and the game was delayed and
later postponed.
OTTAWA — The powerful
running game won out over
the high-flying passing attack
on Friday night at OttawaGlandorf.
The host Titans grounded
out 392 yards and had six
rushing touchdowns on the
way to a 52-16 win over
Kenton in a rain-soaked
Western Buckeye League
matchup.
The Wildcats fall to 3-2 on
the season and 3-1 in WBL
play. O-G remains unbeaten
at 5-0 and 4-0.
The loss snaps an 18-game
WBL winning streak for the
Wildcats and is their third
straight loss in Ottawa.
Titan running back Tristan
Parker carried the ball 27
times for 204 yards with scoring runs of 10, 17 and 3 yards.
Wildcat quarterback Grant
Sherman was 21 of 45
through the air for 261 yards
with two touchdowns and two
interceptions. He had 198
yards passing in the first half.
Justin Sawmiller had 10
catches for 145 yards with
touchdown receptions of 7
and 10 yards.
The game was close early
as the teams traded touchdowns and were tied at 16-16
with less than a minute left in
the first half.
The Wildcats got on the
scoreboard first as Sherman
moved Kenton 65 yards in
nine plays, hooking up with
Sawmiller on a 7-yard pass for
six. The two-point conversion
pass to Sawmiller made it 8-0.
O-G answered quickly,
moving 47 yards in four plays
and scoring on a one-yard run
by quarterback Caleb Siefker.
The two-point run by Parker
made it 8-8.
After the teams traded possessions, the Wildcats took a
16-8 lead when Sherman
completed a six-play, 62-yard
drive with a 10-yard scoring
pass to Sawmiller.
Ottawa-Glandorf answered
on its next possession with a
10-yard touchdown run by
Parker to tie the game at 1616.
That was when the momentum swung to the Titans.
O-G stopped a Kenton on
fourth down, taking over on

Schriner said. "Sherman sees
some seam routes and we
tried to get people under
that, Other than that we're
trying to rush with three and
drop coverage. We played a
little more man coverage
than we've played in the past,
but guys were just running
around trying to make
plays."

Headington’s 65-yard TD run lifts Falcons
By NICK MARLOW
Times news bureau
NEW WASHINGTON —
With a stagnant offense and
little
time
left
against
Buckeye Central on Friday,
Riverdale
football
coach
Jeremy
Kloepfer
needed
someone to step up and make
a play.
Tré Headington answered
the call.
The senior scooped up
Buckeye Central’s kickoff and
streaked 65 yards across the
goal line to lift the Falcons to
a 21-20 win on the road in
the
North
Central
Conference.
After marching downfield
and into the end zone with
two run-loaded drives in the
first half, the Falcons had
cobbled together just 45
yards since the break when
Bucks running back Michael
Adkins punched it in from 3
yards out with 3:29 left. It put
the Bucks up 20-14.
“Before we went out there I
said, ‘Hey guys, we need a
good kick return here to try
and get things kick-started,”
Kloepfer said.
A lame squib attempt from
Buckeye
Central’s
Cole
Stacklin allowed Headington
to haul it in after one hop,
and he was chugging the
other way before the Bucks
even knew it was happening.
“I just saw it was going low
and I wanted to be the playmaker to get our team the
win,” Headington said. “I saw
an opening and I just took it.”
The Bucks had just failed
on a two-point conversion try
after being docked 5 yards for
a false start penalty, leaving
the door open in the event of
a Falcons touchdown.
“We had penalties that
were stupid at inopportune
times and we can’t do that,”
Buckeye Central coach Jason
Ratliff said. “It wasn’t one
person but several people
who did things wrong, and it
cost us the football game.”

The Bucks were set to go

Bushong, Adam Fox and Seth
Knoll carried for 79 yards.
Headington caught a 13-yard
pass and Farrow ran it in
from a yard out to cap two
drives that ate up 14:27 of
the first-half.
The Bucks responded to
the Headington reception
immediately. On the second
play of the ensuing possession, McDonnel deviated from
a fly pattern, came back to
his quarterback to catch the
ball and then turned upfield
for a 65-yard touchdown after
a
Riverdale
cornerback
slipped on the muddy field
while in pursuit.
McDonnel finished with 4
catches and 101 yards.
Farrow gift-wrapped the
Bucks next score. The senior
tossed up a duck with two
minutes left in the first half,
and Jordan Herrstein stepped
in front to give Buckeye
Central an opportunity to
knot it at 14 with 1:57 left.
“That’s a pass that he has
to go ahead and eat,” Kloepfer
said.
Farrow’s woes continued
in the second half, as he did
not complete a pass and
threw another interception
early in the fourth quarter. He
finished 6 of 12 with 58 yards
and a touchdown to go with
the two picks.
Jones found Brookes for
16 yards on fourth-and-4
before hitting Nick McCoy
wide open on the left side of
the field for a 10-yard touchdown. Jones then hooked up
with Chadd Trapp on an out
route for the two-point conversion.
Riverdale will head back
home to take on Crestline at
7 p.m. Friday.
