Many students and parents
have reacted strongly
to new guidelines for the
National School Lunch program mandating calorie limits and more fruits and vegetables, saying the meals are unappealing or leave kids hungry
after eating.
The changes began this
school year and affect more
than 1.1 million Ohio students
who participate in the program, which served more than
180 million meals at reduced
cost or no charge in fiscal year
2011. Some say the changes
go too far, while others argue
they are necessary for student
health.

ELECTION 2012
Candidates retool messages
Saturday marks a month until Election Day. Mitt Romney is
seeking to build on a strong performance in the first debate
while President Barack Obama decides to change his strategy.
REACTION
WHAT’S NEXT
A resurgent Romney spoke
of a “close-fought battle”
with Obama as he campaigned in Virginia.
Obama’s camp questioned
Romney’s truthfulness and
said the president is “eager”
for the Oct. 16 debate. A
Dayton Daily News sampling
of residents who watched
the debate said Romney did
a better job and questioned
whether either man could
fulfill promises. They said the
debate didn’t change their
minds.
A telling indicator about
the No. 1 issue in the
presidential race, jobs and
the economy, is due today.
The monthly national
unemployment report for
September will provide
political fodder for both
candidates. Economists
predict a flat jobless rate
of 8.1 percent. That paints
a dual picture: The rate
is down from 10 percent
in 2009, the year Obama
came president, yet it’s far
from a healthy number.
BIG RATINGS
An estimated 67.2 million
people watched the
debate, according to ratings
firm Nielsen. That is a 28
percent increase over the
52.4 million that watched
the first debate of 2008.

Enrollment numbers at heart of

Columbus Bureau
About
this story
Five school districts in Ohio
— none in the Dayton area —
show evidence of scrubbing attendance data, possibly to improve their report card ratings, according to an interim
report released Thursday by
state Auditor Dave Yost.
The audit found that Columbus, Marion, Cleveland Municipal, Toledo and Campbell City
Schools in Mahoning County
all improperly withdrew students from their enrollment.
Columbus City Schools Superintendent Gene Harris unexpectedly announced her retirement after the probe
began.
Seven of the nine Miami Valley districts that were among
a sampling of 100 schools under review have been cleared
of wrongdoing.
When the state
auditor’s office
refused to
identify the 100
schools being
investigated,
our reporters
contacted 40
superintendents in our
eight-county
region to find
out if they were
part of the
probe. Miami

Outbreak has killed 5; steroid back
injection patients at risk in Ohio.
By Mike Stobbe
Associated Press
The potential scope of the meningitis
outbreak that has killed at least five
people widened dramatically Thursday as
health officials warned that hundreds,
perhaps thousands, of patients who got
steroid back injections in 23 states could be
at risk.
Clinics and medical centers rushed to
contact patients who may have received the
apparently fungus-contaminated shots.
And the Food and Drug Administration
urged doctors not to use any products at all
from the Massachusetts pharmacy that
supplied the suspect steroid solution.
It is not clear how many patients received
tainted injections, or even whether everyone
who got one will get sick.

Iranian rial
value drops
By Thomas Erdbrink
New York Times
TEHRAN, IRAN — For
months, since the imposition of harsh, U.S.-led
sanctions over Iran’s nuclear program, the country’s leaders have sworn
they would never succumb to Western pressures, and they scoffed
at the idea that the measures were having any serious impact.
But after a week in
which the Iranian currency, the rial, fell by a
shocking 40 percent and
protests began to rumble
through the capital, no
one is making light of the
mounting costs of confrontation.
In the Iranian capital,
all anyone can talk about
is the rial, and how lives

with U.S. agent’s death
Investigation
continues into
Arizona incident.
By E. Eduardo Castillo
and Jacques Billeaud
Associated Press
PHOENIX — Federal police have arrested two men
who may be connected
with the fatal shooting of
a U.S. Border Patrol agent
just north of the MexicoArizona border, a Mexican
law enforcement official
said Thursday.
The official, who spoke
on condition of anonymity
because he was not authorized to release the information, said it was unclear
if there was strong evidence linking the men to
the shooting of agent Nicholas Ivie.
Ivie and two other
agents were fired upon
Tuesday in a rugged hilly
area about five miles north
of the border near Bisbee,
Ariz., as they responded
to an alarm that was triggered on one of the sen-
sors that the government
has installed along the
border.
The wounded agent was
released from the hospital
after undergoing surgery.
The third agent wasn’t injured.
Brenda Nath, an FBI
spokeswoman in Arizona, and Border Patrol officials in Arizona declined
to comment on the detention of the two men in Mexico. The Cochise County
Sheriff’s Office, which is also investigating the shooting, didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
Lydia Antonio, a spokeswoman for the Mexican
Embassy in Washington,
confirmed the two detentions, but declined to say
what prompted their detentions and what made
authorities suspect the
two might be involved in
the shooting.
At a news conference
Thursday in Washington, Attorney General Eric
Holder said he was getting
updates on the investigation’s progress and had
spoken with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano about the probe.
Napolitano is traveling to Arizona today to express her condolences to
Ivie’s family and meet with
law enforcement authorities in southern Arizona
about the investigation into the agent’s death.
Authorities have declined to provide key details about Tuesday’s
shooting, including what
they believe prompted it,
whether or not the agents
were ambushed and
whether or not any guns
from the shooting were recovered. Still, they suspect
that more than one person
fired on the agents.
The head of the Border
Patrol agents union has
said he believes those who
carried out the shooting
probably had time to cross
the border in the earlymorning darkness before
authorities could seal off
the area and that he doubted that whoever shot the
agents would still be hiding
in the area.
Manson family member
recommended for parole
By Linda Deutsch
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — A Cali-
fornia parole board panel recommended parole
Thursday for a Charles
Manson follower who has
been imprisoned for 40
years.
Bruce Davis, convicted
with Manson and another
man in two murders unrelated to the infamous Sharon Tate slayings in 1969,
appeared before the panel on the eve of his 70th
birthday.
It was his 27th parole
hearing and was held at the
California Men’s Colony at
San Luis Obispo, where Da-
vis is imprisoned.
A parole board determined in 2010 that Davis
was ready for release, but
then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger reversed the decision citing the heinous
nature of the crimes. Gov.
Jerry Brown has the final
say on decisions by the
current parole board.
Davis has been in prison since 1972 after being
convicted with Manson
Steve Grogan in the murders of musician Gary Hinman and stuntman Donald
“Shorty” Shea.
Davis had been set for a
hearing earlier this year,
but he became ill and it
was delayed.

Big breaks to business
Ohio offers big tax credits to companies that add jobs.
But is the pro-business stance really paying off ?
COMING SUNDAY
“It’s time for him to go
home,” said Davis’ attorney, Michael Beckman, who
has been fighting for years
to get his client released.
Davis became a bornagain Christian in prison
and ministered to other inmates, married a woman
he met through the prison
ministry, and has a grown
daughter.
Beckman said Davis also
earned a master’s degree
and a doctorate in philosophy of religion.
Beckman said his client
is totally rehabilitated and
meets state requirements
for parole. Los Angeles
County Deputy District Attorney Patrick Sequeira
opposed his release.
Few followers of the infamous Manson cult have
been released from prison. Grogan was freed in
1985 after he led police to
Shea’s buried body.
Lynette “Squeaky”
Fromme was released
from federal prison in
2009 after serving time
for the attempted assassination of President Gerald Ford.
Manson and two of
his followers, Leslie Van
Houten and Patricia Krenwinkel, remain in prison
for life in the Tate killings.

works and how much it
costs. The states, including some of the nation’s
largest, stand to lose millions of dollars in government grants for law

have concluded that
honoring the law would

Some Minnesota lawmakers hope to force

role. Their effort comes
despite opposition from
Mayo Clinic, which holds
the records, and skepticism from experts that
the records alone would
prove anything.

Turkey permits Limbless soldier

Turkish military
shells Syria targets.
Army Sgt. Travis

Move is in response
to a mortar attack
that killed civilians.

VASSAR, MICH. — Army
By Tim Arango,
Sebnem Arsu
and Anne Barnard
New York Times
ISTANBUL — Turkey’s Par-
liament approved a motion Thursday that authorizes further military action against Syria, as Turkey began its second day
of shelling targets within
Syria in response to a mortar attack that killed five
civilians.
The measure, which
was ratified after several
hours of a closed-door session in the capital, Ankara, permits cross-border
raids, although senior officials insisted that NATO ally Turkey did not want a
war with its Arab neighbor
— an escalation that could
turn Syria’s bloody civil
strife into a regional conflict with international involvement.
The motion read, in
part, “The ongoing crisis
in Syria affects the stability
and security in the region
and now the escalating animosity affects our national security,” according to
the semiofficial Anatolian
News Agency.
The Turkish military
pounded targets inside Syria on Thursday in retaliation for the mortar attack
a day earlier that killed five
civilians in Turkey.

Local news reports said
Turkish shells fell inside
Syria on at least 10 occasions after midnight, landing near the border town
of Tel Abyad, some six
miles inside Syrian territory.
Activist groups in Syria said the shelling killed
several Syrian government
soldiers.
The exchanges sent
tremors across a region
fearful that the mounting
violence in Syria will spill
into neighboring countries.
Ibrahim Kalin, a senior
aide to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said
in a Twitter feed: “Turkey
does not want war with
Syria. But Turkey is capa-
ble of protecting its borders and will retaliate
when necessary.”
The assurance came as
western European leaders
who have joined Turkey
in supporting rebel forces
in Syria sought to prevent
the border clash from flaring out of control.
NATO, to which Turkey
belongs and whose charter calls in some cases for
collective action when one
of its members is targeted
militarily, met Wednesday
night to discuss the crisis.
At the U.N. Security
Council, Syrian ally Russia blocked an attempt
to issue a strongly worded statement condemning
Syria for the attack, diplomats said.
Staff Sgt. Travis Mills had
been a lot of places since
losing his four limbs in Afghanistan. The one place
he hadn’t been was where
people knew him best.
He finally returned to
his Michigan hometown
this week — six months
after the explosion that
cost him his arms and legs
— to serve as the grand
marshal of his old high
school’s homecoming parade.
“I didn’t come to Vassar yet, because I wasn’t
ready for people to see me
without my legs,” Mills
said hours before the parade Thursday. “Great
town, but I just wasn’t
comfortable with them
seeing me in a wheelchair.”
Mills is still undergoing rehabilitation at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C.,
and his hometown has
pulled for him from afar.
Hair salons, American Legion posts and many others hosted fundraisers this
spring and summer as the
small, tight-knit community rallied around him.
Mills barely suffered
a scratch during his first
two tours of Afghanistan,
but during his third, on
April 10, he placed a bag
of ammunition down on
an improvised explosive

device. The resulting blast
tore through the athlete’s
muscular 6-foot-3 frame.
Since then, he’s undergone a grueling series of
medical procedures and
been pushed to the limits
by medical professionals
intent on seeing him pull
through his rare injury.
A half a year since Mills’
life was changed forever,
it’s difficult to find a tree,
lamppost or telephone
pole without a yellow or
red, white and blue ribbon in this bucolic community of 2,700 that sits
90 miles north of Detroit.
A downtown bank
proudly displays an electronic sign that welcomes
Mills as a “hometown hero,” as do dozens of other
businesses.
“It was a lot to take in,”
Mills said of the signs of
support he saw on the
drive from the airport to
his parents’ home. “Now, I
just have to make sure not
to let everyone down.”
Mills, his wife, Kelsey,
and their 1-year-old
daughter, Chloe, were the
grand marshals in Thursday’s parade. Mills also plans to address the
crowd before tonight’s
Vassar High football game.
The 25-year-old is one
of only a few servicemen
to lose all four limbs in
combat during the Iraq
and Afghanistan wars and
survive.
“This is my new normal, and it’s all about how
I adjust to it,” he said moments after using his prosthetic legs to walk from
the living room to the sun
room at his childhood
home. “There’s no good
that’s gonna come from
me sitting there and wondering, ‘Why’d this happen? Why me? Now what
do I do?’ The answer’s
right in front of you: It
happened because it happened.”
Mills was told quadruple amputees require at
least 2½ years of recovery
and rehabilitation. But his
goal is to be out of Walter
Reed and back home in
less than half that.
“I am going to be out of
here” in a year, he boldly
told his doctor.
After that, he isn’t sure
what the future holds. He
might go back to school,
or perhaps work as an instructor at Fort Bragg.
Before any of that, however, he said he’s looking forward to spending
an “emotional” two days
with hundreds of his closest friends in Vassar.
FBI team arrives Study: Free birth control works
in Benghazi
Lower rates of teen
They’ll investigate
consulate attack
that killed official.
By Eileen Sullivan
and Lolita C. Baldor
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A team
of FBI agents arrived in
Benghazi, Libya, Thursday to investigate the assault against the U.S. consulate and left after about
12 hours as the hunt for
those connected to the attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and
three other Americans
narrowed to one or two
people in an extremist
group, U.S. officials said
Thursday.
Agents arrived in Benghazi before dawn Thursday and departed after
sunset, following weeks
of waiting for access to
the crime scene to investigate the Sept. 11 attack.
The agents and dozens
of U.S. special operations
forces were there, said a
senior Defense Department official who spoke
anonymously because
he was not authorized to
comment about the ongoing investigation. The FBI
agents went to “all the
relevant locations” in the
city, said FBI spokeswoman Kathy Wright. The FBI
would not say what, if
anything, they found.
Killed in the attack
were Stevens, a State Department computer expert and two security
agents who were former
Navy SEALS. Al-Qaidalinked militants are believed responsible.
Immediately after the
attack, protesters outraged over an anti-Muslim
film produced by a California man stormed the
consulate, officials said.
U.S. intelligence and
special operations forces
have focused on at most
“one or two individuals”
in the Libya-based extremist group Ansar alShariah who may have
had a role in the attack,
according to a U.S. counterterrorism official. But
that official and two others said there was no definitive evidence linking
even those individuals to
the attack. These officials
also spoke on condition
of anonymity.
Members of Ansar alShariah were recorded
making boastful calls to
other militants after the
attack, including to members of al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, which is
suspected of having a role
in the attack, one of the
officials said. But that’s
common in the aftermath of any such attack,
when different militant
groups try to claim credit to build their own stature in the region, the official said.
So far, U.S. intelligence
has found no evidence
showing communication
between militants prior
to the attack, which took
place on the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001,
attacks on the U.S.
Several Republican
lawmakers have said Stevens and his staff made
repeated requests for security improvements at
the Benghazi consulate
that the State Department
denied.
births, abortions
but critics remain.
By Lauran Neergaard
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Free birth
control led to dramatically lower rates of abortions
and teen births, a large
study concluded Thursday, offering evidence for
how a bitterly contested
Obama administration policy could benefit women’s
health.
Critics, however, said it
did not address their concern that ready access to
contraception will encourage risky sexual behavior.
The project tracked
more than 9,000 women
in St. Louis, many of them
poor or uninsured. They
were given their choice of
a range of contraceptive
methods at no cost — from
birth control pills to goofproof options like the IUD
or a matchstick-sized implant.
When price wasn’t an issue, women flocked to the
most effective contraceptives — the implanted options, which typically cost
hundreds of dollars upfront to insert. These women experienced far fewer
unintended pregnancies
Congratulations
as a result, reported Dr. Jeffrey Peipert of Washington
University in St. Louis in a
study published Thursday.
The effect on teen pregnancy was striking: There
were 6.3 births per 1,000
teenagers in the study.
Compare that to a national
rate of 34 births per 1,000
teens in 2010.
There also were substantially lower rates of abortion, when compared with
women in the metro area
and nationally: 4.4 to 7.5
abortions per 1,000 women in the study, compared
with 13.4 to 17 abortions
per 1,000 women overall in the St. Louis region,
Peipert calculated. That’s
lower than the national
rate, too, which is almost
20 abortions per 1,000
women.
The findings come as
millions of U.S. women
are beginning to get access to contraception without copays under President Barack Obama’s
health care law. Women’s
health specialists said the
research foreshadows that
policy’s potential impact.
“As a society, we want to
reduce unintended pregnancies and abortion rates.
This study has demonstrated that having access to nocost contraception helps
us get to that goal,” said

“It’s just an amazing improvement,” Dr. James T.
Breeden, president of the
American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists,
said of the results. “I would
think if you were against
abortions, you would be
100 percent for contraception access.”
Thursday’s data didn’t
sway the critics. Jeanne
Monahan of the Family Re-
search Council suggested
contraceptive use can encourage riskier sexual behavior.
“Additionally, one might
conclude that the Obama
administration’s contraception mandate may ultimately cause more unplanned pregnancies since
it mandates that all health
plans cover contraceptives, including those that
the study’s authors claim
are less effective,” Monahan said.

Patients
in 23 states
are at risk
Man won’t say if
illness is terminal
Meningitis
By Joe Mandak
Associated Press
continued from A1
So far, 35 people in six states
— Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, Florida, North Carolina
and Indiana — have contracted fungal meningitis, and five
of them have died, according
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. All had received steroid shots for back
pain, a highly common treatment.
In an alarming indication
the outbreak could get a lot bigger, Massachusetts health officials said the pharmacy involved, the New England Compounding Center of Framingham, Mass., has recalled three
lots consisting of a total of
17,676 single-dose vials of the
steroid, preservative-free
methylprednisolone acetate.
An unknown number of those
vials reached clinics and other facilities in 23 states between
July and September,
federal health officials said.
Several hundred of the vials,
maybe more, have been returned unused, one Massachusetts official said.
But many other vials were
used. At one clinic in Evansville, Ind., more than 500 patients got shots from the suspect lots, officials said. At two
clinics in Tennessee, more than
900 patients — perhaps many
more — did.
The investigation began
about two weeks ago after a
case was diagnosed in Tennessee. The time from infection to
onset of symptoms is anywhere
from a few days to a month, so
the number of people stricken could rise. Investigators this
week found contamination in a
sealed vial of the steroid at the
New England company, according to FDA officials. Tests are
under way to determine if it is
the same fungus blamed in the
outbreak.
The company has shut
down operations and said it
is working with regulators to
identify the source of the
infection.
“Out of an abundance of caution, we advise all health care
practitioners not to use any
product” from the company,
said Ilisa Bernstein, director of
compliance for the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
Tennessee has by far the
most cases with 25, including
three deaths. Deaths have also
been reported in Virginia and
Maryland.
MENINGITIS Q&A
Q: What is meningitis?
A: Meningitis is an inflammation
of the lining of the brain and
spinal cord. Symptoms include
a severe headache, nausea,
dizziness and fever. Fungal
meningitis is not contagious
like the more common forms,
bacterial and viral meningitis. It is
caused by a fungus often found
in leaf mold.
Q: How were people infected?
A: The prime suspect is steroid
back injections. Federal officials
said a fungus was found
inside one sealed vial of the
steroid and other vials also
appeared to be contaminated.
A specialty pharmacy, New
England Compounding Center
in Framingham, Mass., custommade the steroid.
OHIO IMPACT
No cases connected to the
outbreak have been reported
in Ohio so far, but the drug
was distributed to doctors in
the state, said Tessie Pollock,
spokeswoman for the Ohio
Department of Health.
The state, in cooperation with
local health departments, is
notifying providers who received
the drug of the issue, Pollock
said, and warning them to be on
the lookout for cases, Pollock
said.
She did not know how many
physicians or patients might
have received the medication.
A spokeswoman for Miami
Valley Hospital said the Dayton
hospital doesn’t purchase
any medications from the
compounding pharmacy
implicated in the outbreak.
A spokeswoman for Kettering
Health Network said she wasn’t
aware that any patients had
to be notified that they had
received the steroid in question.

Healthy offerings sit on the salad bar during lunch at Springfield High
School. New federal guidelines on school lunches mean that portions
are smaller and more fruits and vegetables are on students’ plates.
BARBARA J. PERENIC/SPRINGFIELD NEWS-SUN
More fruit,
veggies in
meals
Lunch
continued from A1
Danielle Geeting, whose
nine children in kindergarten
through 11th grade attend Tecumseh schools, said the portions are much smaller than
they were last year.
“(School administrators) talk
about obesity and getting fat at
school, but if we’re starving,
we’re just going to go home and
eat a lot,” said Dalton Geeting,
a freshman at Tecumseh High
School. “It needs to get better
because when we get hungry,
it’s hard to concentrate on your
work.”
The changes were part of reauthorizing the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Child Nutrition Programs — most notably the National School Lunch
program — with the Healthy,
Hunger-Free Kids Act.
Efforts for the legislation
were led by Michelle Obama’s
Let’s Move! campaign meant
to encourage activity and decrease childhood obesity,
which increased nationally
from 7 percent for kids aged 6
to 11 in 1980 to 20 percent in
2008, according to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention. In Ohio, 15 percent of high
school students were obese in
2011.
Officials say they hope the
changes help children stay
healthy now and also teach better habits for the future. They
also warn that the lunch program meals are meant to be only part of a child’s eating plan
for the day.
Becky Gonter-Dray, pediatric
dietitian for the Children’s Medical Center of Dayton, said an
appropriate breakfast will help
ease concerns about lunch sizes.
“Research shows that if you
don’t eat breakfast that you
don’t perform as well in school
and you are at an increased risk
for being obese later in life,”
she said.
Some students at Tecumseh
Local Schools have had a difficult time with the new nutritional guidelines, said Superintendent Jim Gay. There has also been an increase in waste because some students choose not
to eat the additional fruits and
vegetables in the new meals.
“Whether a kid is getting
enough to eat or not kind of depends on the kid and the size
of the kid,” Gay said. “We were
very happy with the way it was
last year, but the law changed
and we need to follow the law.
Certainly, we want the food that
they get to be healthy for them,
we want it to taste good and we
don’t want them to be hungry.”
The new legislation changed
numerous standards for the
school lunch program.
Before, there were no calorie limits with one-half to threefourths of a cup or any mix of
fruits or vegetables allowed. Beginning this year, there are permeal calorie limits depending
on grades, ranging from 650
calories to 850 calories. There
must also be one-half of a cup
to one cup of fruits and threefourths of a cup to one cup of
vegetables.
There are also standards for
meats, grains, whole grains,
milk, sodium and fat.
Schools must meet those
standards to be reimbursed for
meals, with rates ranging from
$2.46 to $3.09 per free to reduced-price meal. In fiscal year
2011, the USDA paid more than
$311 million in reimbursements
to Ohio schools for the National
School Lunch program, part of
“(School
administrators)
talk about
obesity and
getting fat at
school, but if
we’re starving,
we’re just going
to go home and
eat a lot.”
Dalton Geeting
Tecumseh High School freshman
$10.1 billion paid out nationally.
At Springfield High School,
where breakfast and lunch are
free for all students this year
through a district-wide federal subsidy, students don’t seem
to have noticed the changed
guidelines.
The cafeteria there offers an
unlimited salad bar, pizza option, sandwich option and specialty meal and serves 3,500
breakfasts and 6,000 lunches
each day. Filling the basket of
apples at the end of the line demands about 1,330 apples per
week.
Springfield didn’t make a significant change to sizes this
year because it had kept its
meals modest said Chris Ashley, the district’s food service
supervisor. Some districts saw
more significant changes.
“I understand that there’s got
to be a world of difference between what they were getting
and could get, and what they
can get now,” Ashley said. “We
never super-sized because we
didn’t think it was a good nutritional choice.”
Because Springfield High
Schools never strayed far from
the old nutritional recommendations, their students didn’t
seem to mind the changes, Ashley said. For them, the new
guidelines only mean small
changes to meat portions, one
less slice of meat on a sub and
only one ounce less meat in a
burger, while the amount of
fruit and vegetables in each
meal doubled from 4 ounces to
8 ounces.
“I think the intentions are
good, but I think the sweeping reforms that they did all in
one year were tough for everybody to adjust to,” Ashley said.
“If the changes had been more
gradual, kids would have adjusted better and schools would
have adjusted better.”
Dinah May, a senior at
Springfield, said that although
she tries to pack her own lunch
as much as possible, she like
the new fruit and vegetable options. She said that although
she noticed that the lunches are
smaller, she appreciates that
the meals are free for everyone.
Although students have the
option to buy additional food,
some parents expressed concern about their children eating enough food to last through
the day, particularly if they take
part in after-school sports or activities.
For athlete David Torok, a senior at Springfield, the additional fruit and vegetable options makes it easier to make
good food decisions, he said.
“There are a lot more healthy
choices,” Torok said. “If you
know what you’re getting, you
can be more healthy with it,
and as an athlete I think it’s
awesome.”

“Bucket List Bandit,” because he
allegedly told a Utah bank teller that he had just four months
to live, just shrugged when asked
Thursday if he really were terminally ill, moments after a federal
judge ordered him jailed until he
can stand trial for a northwestern Pennsylvania bank robbery.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Susan
Paradise Baxter ordered Michael
Eugene Brewster, 54, of Pensacola, Fla., incarcerated after he
waived his right to a detention
hearing.
Had Brewster not waived the
hearing, the judge would have
had to determine whether Brewster was a risk to flee prosecution
or a danger to the community.
Both findings were likely given the
FBI’s contention that he’s robbed
10 banks in nine states while crisscrossing the country since a heist
June 21 in Arvada, Colo.
Federal officials have yet
to charge Brewster with any
heist, but the Sept. 10 robbery
of a Huntington National Bank
branch in Erie, which is believed
to be the last of his string.
Two
districts
await rulings
School data
continued from A1
The auditor is still analyzing
data on schools in two of the
districts — Hamilton and Northridge.
Springfield City Schools Superintendent David Estrop was
thrilled Springfield High School
came back as one of two area
schools on a list of 21 identified
as “clean schools” in the audit.
“I think it is important that
the people of Springfield know
our progress is real and that we
are not gaming the system,” Estrop said.
Enrolled students’ test scores
are used to calculate school
building and district report
cards by the state Department
of Education.
“If you have children who are
not faring well in the bottom
quartile or bottom 10 percent
and you remove those students,
then mathematically your
scores have to go up,” Yost said.
He noted that auditors did not
delve into motives that school
administrators may have had
for disenrolling students.
State auditors began the investigation with 100 schools in
47 districts throughout the state
that were flagged by ODE data based on a high number of
withdrawals and other factors.
Other area districts that were
part of the probe include Dayton Public, Trotwood-Madison,
Jefferson Twp., Ansonia, Bradford and Mississinawa Valley.
“A quick glance at the report
does not indicate that there
were any schools in the Dayton
area that we need to be particularly concerned about at this
point, which is good news,”
said state Sen. Peggy Lehner, RKettering, who chairs the Senate Education Committee.
Three schools in the Hamilton district and two in Northridge received an “indeterminate” status because the auditor has yet to finish analysis in
those buildings.
Hamilton spokeswoman Joni
Copas said auditors will be back
in the district Monday.
Northridge Superintendent
Dave Jackson said he believes his
district was visited later than others. “We continue to be open to
a review of our practices and will
be working to make improvements if necessary,” he said.
Yost said he’ll issue another interim report by Oct. 23,
which will detail analysis of the
15 buildings that received indeterminate status as well as a
look at districts that have levies
or bonds on the Nov. 6 ballot so
that voters can be informed.
The audit also listed “schools
with errors,” which included
Ansonia High School, Bradford
High School, Dayton’s Meadowdale High School, Jefferson
Twp.’s Jefferson High School
and two Trotwood-Madison elementary schools and a middle
school.
Errors are defined as sporad-
By then, the FBI had nicknamed the suspect after bank surveillance photos from nine other
robberies showed what appeared
to be the same suspect, in his
early 50s. In each instance, the
robber handed the teller a note
and claimed to have a gun and, in
some instances, claimed to be terminally ill — going so far as to say,
“I have four months to live” to a
teller in Roy, Utah, on July 6.
Although the suspect had a
nickname, the FBI didn’t know
his real name until a still-unidentified tipster saw news coverage of the Erie heist and called
to give agents Brewster’s name
and birth date. The FBI filed a
criminal complaint for the Erie
heist after the teller picked his
mug shot out of a photo lineup,
and the attached affidavit makes
clear the FBI is convinced Brewster is responsible for the earlier
robberies.
Brewster was arrested Sept.
13 in Roland, Okla., after he ran
a stop sign near a casino. When
the FBI warrant for the Erie
heist showed up on a computer search, Brewster was jailed
until he could be brought back
to Pennsylvania for Thursday’s
court appearance.
ic and might include “a lack of
documentation, missing student files and incorrect” or unsubstantiated withdraw codes.
Lori Ward, superintendent of
Dayton Public Schools, which
has 15,000 students, said auditors reviewed 126 files from
two schools and found errors in
nine files at one high school.
“We are reviewing the preliminary report and preparing
our response to the state auditor,” she said.
Bradford Exempted Village
Schools Superintendent Dave
Warvel said he’s still confused
why his rural, 650-student district on the Darke-Miami county line was flagged, but noted it
has a high mobility rate among
students.
“We told them ‘Come on in,
we have nothing to hide,’ ” he
said of the auditors who spent
two days there.
The probe could widen in the
coming months. The state auditor is working with statisticians
from Ohio State University to
develop a model based on Ohio
Department of Education data
from 1998 to 2011 that will flag
school buildings that may deserve a deeper look.
Yost said a final report is due
sometime after Jan. 1.
“I’m not sure, frankly, that
the quality of a school should
be judged entirely upon whether or not they scrubbed some
of their students,” Lehner said.
“I think there are multiple indicators that can tell us how a
school is doing. Hopefully, any
parent or any voter would look
at all those issues and not just
this one.”
Lehner said she is inclined to
wait until the final report is issued before coming up with legislative fixes to the attendance
reporting system. Currently, it’s
an honor system that assumes
school districts are reporting
accurate data.
“Obviously, the honor system
is not adequate,” Lehner said.
Yost said Cleveland Municipal Schools’ records were unauditable and that they aren’t following state law when they declare students truant.
Yost made preliminary recommendations: ODE should employ more cross-checks to catch
inaccurate or fraudulent data;
ODE should remove the ability
for districts to see their projected report card scores when they
verify the data submitted to the
state; and districts should use
computer software that tracks
changes to student data.
Mississinawa Valley Junior/
Senior High School was the other area school listed as “clean”
in the audit, with no enrollment
issues identified.
“Although we were confident
with our numbers we reported, an audit is always intimidating,” Mississinawa Valley Superintendent Lisa Wendel said.
“It was reassuring to know they
found no discrepancies in our
enrollment numbers.”
So far, the statewide probe
has cost the auditor’s office
$284,150 and 6,930 hours.

CALVERTON, N.Y. — The
U.S. Navy’s newest warship will not be named
for a former president,
distinguished member of
Congress or some historic figure from the past.
The USS Michael Murphy, a 510-foot destroyer, is being commissioned this weekend in
New York City for a Long
Island native and Navy lieutenant who became the first American awarded the Medal of Honor in Afghanistan when he was killed
along with two fellow
SEALs during an ambush
in 2005. He was 29.
“Here is someone
who is just like us,” said
Cmdr. Tom Shultz, the
commander of the USS
Michael Murphy and
its crew of 300. “We’ve
seen his childhood photos, and you look at
those photos and in every single one of them
we have that same photo
of our childhood.”
Already wounded,
Murphy left a protected position and went to a
clearing where he was exposed to gunfire to get a

by a rocket-propelled grenade on June 28, 2005.
The only SEAL to survive
has since written a book
about the ordeal, “Lone
Survivor,” which is being
made into a movie starring Mark Wahlberg and
Taylor Kitsch.

the greatest of a slew of

The Afghan president,

against Afghan insurgents
rather than their backers
in Pakistan, and by refusing to supply his country
with the weapons it needs
to fight enemies across the
border. He threatened to
turn to China, India and
Russia for arms. He also
accused the Western news
media of trying to undermine the confidence of the
Afghan people by publishing articles suggesting that
a civil war and economic
collapse might follow the
departure of NATO troops
at the end of 2014.

Harsh light falls on moderator
Dems say Romney
was moderating the
debate himself.
By Brian Stelter
Associated Press
The new format for
the presidential debate
prompted plenty of partisan debate online — as did
the performance of the
moderator, Jim Lehrer.
Lehrer’s light touch
was widely criticized during and after the debate
Wednesday night, particularly by Democrats who
felt that President Barack
Obama’s Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, was
effectively allowed to
moderate the debate himself. Speaking to CNN after the debate, Stephanie
Cutter, Obama’s deputy
campaign manager, said,
“I sometimes wondered if
we even needed a moderator because we had Mitt
Romney. We should rethink that for the next debate.”
But conservatives suggested that critiques of
Lehrer were just excuses
for Obama’s poor performance.
Lehrer, 78, the former anchor of the “NewsHour” on PBS, moderated 11 presidential debates
between 1988 and 2008.
He had sworn off moderating future debates until the Commission on
Presidential Debates convinced him to come back
this year.
Lehrer, who declined
an interview request
Thursday, said earlier that
he was persuaded by the
potential of the new format: It allowed for six 15minute conversations,
starting each time with a
question and two-minute
answers from each candidate. The appealed to
Lehrer, who has consistently said that his job as
moderator is to get out of
the way and get the candidates talking.
He succeeded in that
during Wednesday’s debate. When he did try to
get a word in, it was often
in phrases like, “excuse
me,” “wait” or “please.”
Throughout the evening,
he strained to interrupt
when the candidates went
over their allotted time.
And at one point he faced
a testy Obama, who complained that the moderator had cut him off by saying that time was up.
When Obama criticized
Romney as failing to provide more specifics about
his economic plans, Romney insisted on respond-
ing.
“No, but,” Lehrer said
as Romney kept on going. He spoke for a minute, completing his entire
thought without interruption from the moderator.
The critiques came
from several sides of the
media spectrum.
“Boy, Jim Lehrer got
rolled over,” MSNBC’s Joe
Scarborough said Thursday morning.
“You could see an exasperated look on Jim’s
face when they would
just keep plowing right
over him,” said Fox News
Channel’s Gretchen Carlson.
Speaking on CNBC,
Steve Liesman offered
up what he called a “private-sector solution” to
WE’RE ALL ABOUT
COVERAGE YOU CAN COUNT ON
the moderator dilemma:
“Why can’t the two guys
take care of themselves?”
The complaints about
Lehrer seemed loudest
from the left. Bill Press
started his Current TV
show Thursday by saying Lehrer “lost control of
the debate, and Mitt Romney ran all over him like a
truck crushing a bug.”

Post-debate, Obama
comes out swinging
President accuse
Romney with lying
about his plans.
By Mark Landler
and Peter Baker
New York Times
DENVER — President
Barack Obama and his
team woke up here Thursday confronted by the realization that he lost his
first debate by passively
letting Mitt Romney control the conversation.
Then the president and
his advisers resolved to
do what he himself did
not the night before.
Under fire from fellow
Democrats, Obama went
on the offensive, accusing Romney of lying to the
American people about
his plans for the nation.
“I met this very spirited fellow who claimed to
be Mitt Romney,” Obama
told 12,000 supporters
during a lakeside rally.
“But it couldn’t be Mitt
Romney, because the real Mitt Romney has been
running around the country for the last year promising $5 trillion in tax cuts
that favor the wealthy.
The fellow onstage last
night said he didn’t know
anything about that.
“The man onstage last
night, he does not want
to be held accountable
for the real Mitt Romney’s decisions and what
he’s been saying for the
last year,” the president
said. “And that’s because
he knows full well that we
don’t want what he’s been
selling for the last year.”
The vigorous assault on
Romney suggested just
how worried Obama’s
campaign has become.
The president’s advisers
concluded that he had
lost his first debate by not
pressing Romney enough.
After a series of late-night
and early-morning consultations, the Obama
team resolved to correct that Thursday with a
more aggressive stances.
David Axelrod, the
president’s strategist,
called Romney an “artful dodger” whose debate
comments were “devoid
of honesty,” “rooted in
deception,” “untethered
to the truth” and “well delivered but fraudulent.”
“Not surprisingly, what
we learned is he’ll say anything,” Axelrod said. “That
makes him effective in the
short term but vulnerable
in the long term.” He added, “He may win the Oscar
for his performance last
night, but he’s not going to
win the presidency.”
The Romney team, feeling rejuvenated, fired
back. “In full damagecontrol mode, President
Obama today offered
no defense of his record
and no vision for the future,” said Ryan Williams,
a Romney spokesman.
“Rather than a plan to fix
our economy, President
Obama simply offered
more false attacks and renewed his call for job-killing tax hikes.”
In trying to turn the tables on Romney, the president’s team was hoping
to salvage a debate performance widely criticized
by Democrats and Republicans alike. Aides described Obama as out of
practice at debating and
said he made a conscious
decision not to bring up
some of the campaign’s
favorite attack lines of recent months, a decision
they left little doubt disappointed them.
Now they will have to
make what Axelrod called
“adjustments” in the
president’s approach for
the next debate Oct. 16.
The “take-away from this
debate,” he said, was that
they “can’t allow someone to stand there and
manhandle the truth.”
Campaign officials said
they wished Obama had
called out Romney on assertions that they said
were untrue, although
they conceded that some
of the weaknesses in the
president’s performance
were simply part of his approach to debates, which
is to shy away from highly
personal confrontations.
The base wants him “to
gut Romney,” one adviser said, but swing voters
hate that and the president was trying to find a
balance.
Even so, Democrats
questioned why Obama
did not bring up a range
of issues they considered
favorable to him, including women’s rights, Romney’s taxes and the Republican candidate’s comments about the “47 percent” of Americans who
consider themselves “victims” dependent on the
government.
“The president did well
in terms of substance but
I think there were opportunities to hold Gov. Romney accountable that may
have been missed,” former Gov. Ted Strickland
of Ohio, a close ally of the
campaign, said in an interview. “But you know,
it’s one debate. There are
two more.”
Romney ‘prep man’
happy with first debate
Sen. Rob Portman
said a lot of voters
are ‘persuadable.’
By Jack Torry
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON – Describing Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s debate performance
as “terrific,’’ Sen. Rob
Portman said “the persuadable voters are now
going to listen’’ more
carefully to Romney’s
message.
Portman, R-Ohio, who
played President Barack
Obama against Romney in the debate preparations, said Romney
“talked about what people wanted to hear” in
the Wednesday debate in
Denver.
“It may not show up in
the polls immediately, but
it’s opened the door for
Romney to reach through
to these people, and in
the end they might give
him a chance,’’ Portman
said yesterday. “We have
a lot of voters who are
persuadable.’’
Portman said that most
undecided voters know
what to expect from the
president, which meant
Romney had a good
chance to impress those
same voters by showing
that “he had a plan.”

who is also his debate practice partner, make an unscheduled stop at a Chipotle restaurant in Denver, Tuesday.

“They could hear not
only how bad things are,
but how they can get better,” said Portman.
Portman, who watched
the debate backstage with
Romney’s aides in Denver, said Obama appeared
“uncomfortable,’’ which
did not surprise the Ohio
senator. Portman said
Obama rarely gets “asked
any questions; that’s
probably why he was uncomfortable.’’
Portman declined to
take credit for Romney’s
performance, saying that
“he did well, not because
of the prep, but because
he was confident.”
Portman said Romney
was particularly effective with undecided voters in Ohio. He said that
“Ohio has been the No. 1
state for the negative ads
against Mitt Romney. That
was one of the benefits of
having a face-to-face discussion without the media filter.’’

ON YOUR MIND
Presidential race, Gee’s perks at OSU and more
Speak up
Care, concern and
Christian action describe
my recent experience at
Springfield Regional Medical Center. For 15 days, the
gifts I received there will
be treasured and deeply appreciated. The doctors, nurses, techs, physical therapists, occupational therapists, maintenance
and food service personnel made my accident become a special blessing instead of a tragic situation.
Springfield is extremely
fortunate to have such an
outstanding medical and
rehabilitation facility.
I wonder how all the
students who leave OSU
with huge student loans
and debt feel about Gordon Gee’s lavish lifestyle.
I guess Ohio would
rather have a popular lying rock star than a problem-solver. We will not
recognize this nation in
four years if President
Obama is re-elected.

The attention Americans have been
paying to international news has, in
recent months, been directed mostly
overseas, as the Middle East has
seethed, Libya has suddenly heated up
again, Iran continues to make nuclear
noise and European nations continue
their fitful economic slide. This week,
we were reminded that things aren’t
going well down south, either.
The news that a U.S. Border Patrol
The Obama campaign
is not truthful when their
ad claims Mitt Romney’s
tax plan raises taxes on
the middle class. There is
no such plan. If anyone
will increase taxes on the
middle class, it is Barack
Obama and the Democrats.
I have to have an ID if
I want to buy some cough

partisan. It is about protecting the integrity of our
democracy.
I think it is disgusting that our Republican

agent was shot to death Tuesday in
southern Arizona was a tragic warning
note that the nation hasn’t really
figured out yet what to do along its
increasingly violent boundary with
Mexico, where combat with drug gangs
remains a huge problem. The news that
a drug cartel may have been behind
the recent attack on a U.S. Embassy
vehicle in Mexico City adds to our
concern that the U.S. may somehow
vote “no” on the Veterans
Job Corps Act, meant to
help our vets who served
active duty on or after
Sept. 11, 2001. Republicans send our loved ones
to war, but refuse to pass a
deficit-neutral bill to help
them when they get home.
This is why I check the
Sunday paper every week
to see how they are really
voting. You should, too.
Ohio politicians wanted to rip Springfield out
of Clark County and join
it to areas along Lake Erie
in order to create a congressional district, where
the votes of Springfielders wouldn’t count. Issue
get dragged more deeply into our
southern neighbor’s problems in
the foreseeable future.
Between America’s hunger for
drugs and the increasing violence
of the gangs that feed it, this isn’t
a situation likely to be resolved
soon — or even well. What
are your thoughts or
concerns? Email me at
[email protected].
2 takes the creation of congressional districts out of
the hands of such politicians and gives it to citizens. Vote “yes” on Issue 2.
To the President
Obama supporters out
there: Did you get your
new Medicare coverage
on prescriptions, Part D?
All medications now have
a co-pay. The generic prescriptions in the past were
covered in full, and now
we all have a co-pay. If this
is happening before the
election, imagine what he
will do if he gets re-elected. I do not trust the man.
We all have paid our en-
tire lives for Medicare and
Social Security and we are
now called a government
dependent. Mitt Romney
is being ridiculed for making a comment about welfare recipients; well, tell
me how much they have
paid into the benefits they
receive. Cut their benefits first.
While serving in Iraq,
my nephew did not pay
income taxes. Same applies to all his buddies in
the war zone. He is in the
47 percent that Mitt Romney says will never “take
personal responsibility
and care for their lives.”
Shame on you, sir.

FROM THE LEFT: CHANGING TIMES
FROM THE RIGHT: MIDDLE EAST
Todd Akin’s mind stuck
in pre-enlightened era
Leonard Pitts Jr.
My Opinion
“Ladylike?”
It is a telling choice of
word. Hearing it used
unironically, as wouldbe Missouri senator Todd
Akin did last week, one
almost feels as if Amelia
Earhart never flew a plane
and Sally Ride never rode
a space shuttle.
In an interview last
week, he complained that
his opponent, Sen. Claire
McCaskill, was very aggressive in debating him,
unlike her 2006 race,
when she was “much
more ladylike.”
Akin, last heard revealing the existence of a previously unknown mechanism in the female body
that shuts down contraception in the event of
“legitimate rape,” might
want to pen himself a reminder to not talk about
women again, ever.
He is hardly the only
man who has sought recently to police the decorum of female lawmakers. Consider the 2011
email Rep. Allen West sent
Rep. Debbie Wasserman
Schultz telling her, “you
are not a lady” and “shall
not be accorded due respect from me.” And
then there’s then-Sen. Arlen Specter’s 2010 shot at
Rep. Michele Bachmann
during a radio interview:
“I’m going to treat you like
a lady. So act like one.”
One struggles to imagine a male lawmaker being chided to behave in a
gentlemanly fashion. The
person doing the chiding would be laughed into oblivion and deservedly so — the complaint belongs to the era of handlebar moustaches and highwheeled bikes.
This is not to say that
a man ought not strive to
behave in ways that reflect class, refinement and
manners. He should. A
woman should, too. Many
of us could stand to act as
if we’d had the benefit of
home training.
But this is not about
that. It is, rather, about an
arrogant, condescending
and paternalistic mindset
that says a woman cannot
be tough, aggressive, competitive, smart or feisty,
that if she embodies those
traits, so prized in men,
she does so at the cost of
her own femininity.
In this construction,
being a “lady” has nothing to do with good home
training, and everything
to do with being properly deferential and submissive in the presence of testosterone. And yes, you
may just want to chalk all
this up to a difference of
values, to say that Akin,
West and Specter are just
old-fashioned guys having
trouble finding their way
in a newfangled world.
Obama’s foreign policy
unraveling before election
But to do that is give them
a pass they do not deserve. It is to tell a little
girl she must truncate the
sprawl and adventure of
her personality, prune
it back until it fits into a
small, dainty box marked
“ladylike.”
That would be a
tragedy. And a betrayal.
There is, frankly, a
point at which being “oldfashioned” becomes being stubborn, denying
unwelcome, unsettling
and self-evident change.
These fellows are well
past that point and our
message to them ought to
be simply this:
If you want to govern in
this century, try living in
it first.

My Opinion
We’re now in the fourth
week of the “CSI: Benghazi” hostage crisis.
That’s how long an FBI forensic team has been trying to gain access in Libya
to what the State Department still calls a crime
scene — the Obama administration’s preferred
term for the location of
the first assassination of
a U.S. ambassador since
1979 and the first successful al-Qaida-backed attack
on U.S. soil since the 9/11
strikes. (Our embassies
and consulates are sovereign U.S. territory.)
It is perhaps not accidental that the State Department cites the need
to complete the investigation as an excuse to
stay silent on the whole
matter.
There’s more helpful
news for an administration that doesn’t want to
say anything about terrorism or the Middle East
other than “Osama bin
Laden’s dead” and “the
Iraq war is over.”
“There’s a chance we
never make it in there,” a
source told The New York
Times.
“Never” may be unacceptable even to this
White House, but anything past Nov. 6 will do
just fine.
The Libya follies are
merely the most visible
flashpoint of the larger
unraveling of the Obama
administration’s foreign

policy. The U.S.-Israel relationship has become a
bad soap opera. Afghanistan is slipping away,
as our troops are being
killed by the men they’re
supposed to be training
for the handover. Egypt
is now run by the Muslim Brotherhood. Russia
casually mocks and defies us. China is rapidly replacing us as an Asian hegemon and rattling sabers
at our ally Japan.
Most troubling, as Fred
and Kimberly Kagan document in the current issue
of National Review, Iraq is
rapidly becoming an Iranian vassal state. When
President Obama entered office, we had nearly 150,000 troops in Iraq
and much sway over the
course that nation took.
Now we have 150 and almost no sway. Sectarian
violence is up, and al-Qaida in Iraq is resurgent.
Meanwhile, note the
Kagans (the intellectuals
who helped craft the Iraq
surge strategy), Iraqi airspace has become a “critical lifeline for the vicious
regime of Bashar Assad,”
as he kills thousands of
his own people in Syria.
They also note that Iraq
has become an essential
pathway for Iran to circumvent the sanctions intended to prevent it from
pursuing a nuclear bomb.
There’s a dark irony to
all of this. At least until
the killing of bin Laden,
Obama kept foreign policy out of the headlines
so he could concentrate
on domestic policy. Even
after bin Laden’s death,
when Obama started to
tout foreign policy to
compensate for a sputtering economy, the message
was that under Obama,
there’s no drama.
But making problems
easy to ignore isn’t the
same thing as solving
them. How fitting, then,
that the game of kickthe-can faltered just five
weeks from Election Day.

August’s torrid
spending cools a bit
as holidays near.
By Anne D’Innocenzio
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Americans
may have slowed their
spending in September after splurging during the
start of the busy back-toschool shopping season
in the month before. But
most importantly, they
were still spending.
September sales rose
3.9 percent — a slowdown
from the 6-percent rise
in August — as 22 retailers like Macy’s and Costco reported mixed results,
according to the International Council of Shopping Centers. Still, given
the economic and political
uncertainty that weighs
on many Americans right
now, analysts say the results are an encouraging sign for stores as they
head into what’s tradition-
Grains futures mostly on
the rise; beef prices fall
Grains futures mostly

Wheat for December
delivery fell 3.75 cents
to $8.6925 a bushel; December corn added 0.25
cent to $7.57 a bushel; December oats rose 7.50
cents to $3.7075 a bushel; while November soybeans jumped 19.75 cents
to $15.5150 a bushel.
Beef futures fell and
pork futures rose on the
Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

On the New York Board
of Trade, Merc. gold rose

American shoppers, such as these in Salem, N.H., spent
enough to raise sales 3.9 percent in September. The increase wasn’t as big as August’s 6 percent jump but might
be a positive sign as the holidays approach. The holiday

annual revenue and starts next month. ASSOCIATED PRESS

ally the busiest shopping
period of the year in November and December.
“This should set up to
be a good holiday season,”
said Ken Perkins, president of Retail Metrics LLC,
a research firm.
Retailers’ monthly sales
figures are based on revenue at stores opened at
least a year. That measure,
which is considered to be
an indicator of a retailer’s
health because it excludes
results from stores recent-
ly opened or closed, offers
insights into how Americans are spending during the slow economic recovery.
But only a handful of
merchants representing
about 13 percent of the
$2.4 trillion U.S. retail industry report monthly revenue. And that list is dwindling: Target Corp. on
Thursday said that it will
no longer report monthly
figures starting next year.
Target was among those
retailers reporting results that fell short of analyst expectations. The discounter said its sales gain
of 2.1 percent was below
analysts’ expectations as
shoppers picked up backto-school items and groceries.
September’s results offer hope for retailers as
they head into the winter
holiday shopping season,
a two-month period in
which they can make up to
40 percent of their annual
revenue.
Google, publishers settle suit
By Michael Liedtke
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Google
and major book publishers have settled a lengthy
legal battle over digital
copyrights, but a bigger
dispute still looms with
thousands of authors who
allege that Google is illegally profiting from their
works.
The truce announced
Thursday ends a federal lawsuit filed in 2005 by
several members of the
Association of American
Publishers after Google
Inc. began stockpiling
its Internet search index
with digital duplicates of
books scanned from libraries.
Publishers and authors
insisted that Google needed explicit permission
from them before making
the digital copies.
Google worked out a
$125 million settlement
with publishers and au-
thors in 2008, only to
have a federal judge in
New York reject it after
the U.S. Justice Department and other critics
contended that it would
thwart competition in
the rapidly growing digital book market and flout
U.S. copyright law.
Terms of the new settlement weren’t divulged,
but it won’t require court
approval because its
reach will be limited to
the parties signing on.

Accused Russian agent in court
He and six others do
not enter pleas.
The U.S. says they
tried to get military
microelectronics.
By Juan A. Lozano
Associated Press
HOUSTON — A naturalized U.S.
citizen accused of illicitly obtaining military cutting-edge
microelectronics for Russia formally heard the charges against
him Thursday in a case reminiscent of the Cold War era.
Alexander Fishenko and six
others made their initial appearance Thursday in Houston
federal court. They did not enter pleas. An eighth defendant
appeared in court Wednesday.
An indictment unsealed
Wednesday accuses Fishenko
of scheming to purposely evade
strict export controls for the
microelectronics. It also charg-

es Fishenko with money laundering and operating inside
the United States as an unregistered agent of the Russian government.
“We’re going to examine the
charges very critically,” said his
attorney, Eric Reed. “There are
some dramatic allegations in
the indictment that we want to
take a hard look at.”
Fishenko was born in the
former Soviet Union in what
is now Kazakhstan and owns
Houston-based Arc Electronics
Inc. He and seven others were
arrested following raids there
by the FBI.
His wife, Viktoria, who was
identified as a co-owner of her
husband’s business but not
charged, declined to comment
Wednesday.
“I will speak when I know
what’s going on,” she said.
Co-defendant Svetalina Zagon wiped away tears as she
was led away after the hearing.
Prosecutors say Zagon was a
saleswoman at Arc Electronics.
The Russian Foreign Ministry in a statement noted that
the defendants are not charged
with espionage. Officials said
diplomats have met with one of
the detained suspects. Foreign
Ministry spokesman Alexander
Lukashevich lamented the fact
that the United States failed to
inform the Russian authorities
of the impending arrests.
The indictment alleges that
since October 2008, the 46year-old Fishenko and his codefendants “engaged in a surreptitious and systematic conspiracy” to obtain the highly
regulated technology from U.S.
makers and export them to Russia.
U.S. authorities say the microelectronics could have a
wide range of military uses, including radar and surveillance
systems, weapons guidance
systems and detonation triggers. They also say the charges come amid a modernization campaign by Russian military officials hungry for the restricted, American-made components.
“The defendants tried to take
advantage of America’s free
markets to steal American technologies for the Russian government,” Loretta Lynch, U.S.
attorney in Brooklyn, said in a
statement.
Stephen L. Morris, head of
the FBI office in Houston, called
the charges an example of how
some countries have sought to
bypass export safeguards “to
improve their defense capabilities and to modernize weapons
systems at the expense of U.S.
taxpayers.”

Smith gets another shot at Wake
Right tackle struggled
against the Dolphins’
sack artist two years ago.
By Jay Morrison
Staff Writer
CINCINNATI — Cincinnati Ben-
gals offensive tackle Andre
Smith has spent the last two
years trying to forget the last
time he faced Miami Dolphins
defensive end Cameron Wake.
“I didn’t do too well in that
one,” Smith said, referring to a
game the Bengals lost 22-14 at
Paul Brown Stadium.
“It was growing pains. I
lived and I learned. I’m not
that guy I was then. Night and
day.”
Smith was a second-year
player who was coming off an
injury and making his third career start.
Wake, an outside linebacker
at the time, was in the midst of
a 14.5-sack season that would
result in a trip to the Pro Bowl.
Wake enters Sunday’s game
fresh off a 4.5-sack performance in Arizona.
“I just see it as an opportunity to go out there and compete against a phenomenal
guy,” Smith said..
The 4.5 sacks Wake had Sunday in Arizona were his first of
the year, but Dolphins coach
Joe Philbin said he’s been a
force all year.
“In the first three weeks,
he had a number of quarterback hurries, knockdowns and
hits,” Philbin said. “Obviously,
he didn’t have any sacks, but
then he had a breakout game.
I’m not surprised that he had
that kind of production. The
guy is just a worker. He’s a
football player. He shows up
every day and gives you great
effort on the practice field and
that translates to the game
field.”
Smith has lined up against
quality defensive ends the last
two years, but Wake will be
one of the best he’s seen.
“He will be up to the challenge,” Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden said. “I
know he’ll be ready for it. It’s
a big year for him. He knows
it. I think people last year
started to realize he’s the guy
we drafted (sixth overall in
2009).”

in action for the first time this
season last week at Kenton
Ridge. ESPN was even there
to chronicle their every move,
though public address announcer Fred Martin has been
known to exaggerate their accomplishments.
The guys at Kenton Ridge
are so good, they barely even
need the chains and markers
at this point. They go about
their lives 10 yards at a time,
so when they get to Friday
night, they could walk off the
yards in blindfolds if need be.
The star of the gang is Mike
Minette. He’s on Injured Reserve this year and has been
replaced by an up-and-coming chain gang prospect, Aaron Shaffer, the head baseball coach. Minette cuts my
hair once a month, so I know
the ins and outs of the group,
which also includes Judge
Tom Capper, Sonnie Mounts,
Casper Shaffer and Keith Roeder.
They spend their offseasons
training in Alaska and the Amazon rain forest, so they can
get used to moving the chain
in blizzards and torrential
downpours. They have a collection of antique yardsticks,
rulers and tape measures, allowing them to study in their
downtime away from the field.

SPRINGFIELD — It’s one of
those strange-but-true stories
most Springfielders under 35
have never heard.
Thirty years ago this week
— Oct. 3, 1982, to be exact —
CBS’s top football announcer, Pat Summerall, kicked off a
Sunday afternoon of football,
as the camera panned over a
full house at Wittenberg:
“We’re in the heartland of
America: Springfield, Ohio,”
Summerall said. “This is the
stadium: Wittenberg Stadium,
the home of the Tigers. It seats
7,000, and today it’s just about
packed. Good afternoon, and
well, we know it’s Division III
football. They’re not as big
as the players in the NFL, for
sure. They’re probably not
‘There wasn’t
anything else
going on that
day. That’s why
CBS put it on.’
Dana Williams
Wittenberg running back
as talented as they are in the
NFL, but they still play with
the same amount of intensity,
and they still like the game just
as much as whatever they play
at whatever level. Believe me,
after 31 years of every Sunday
being associated with the NFL
either as a player or broadcaster, it’s nice to be on campus.”
The NFL was in the midst
of a 57-day strike when CBS
sent crews to four Division III
games. Its contract with the
NCAA called for it to broadcast
four D-III games each year,
and with NFL reruns during
the strike earning low ratings,
it lived up to the contract with
one day of live football games.
Summerall and John Madden, who had yet to gain added fame for putting his name
on a video game, got the game
in Springfield between the Tigers and their big rival at the
time in the Ohio Athletic Conference, Baldwin-Wallace.
Eight months earlier, Summerall and Madden announced
Super Bowl XVI between the
Bengals and 49ers in Detroit.
Pat O’Brien, better known
these days for having hosted
Wittenberg continued on B3
Miguel Cabrera has his Triple Crown. MVP award, maybe
not. Hold on, now. How could
that be? Mike Trout, that’s
how.
It’s the hottest debate
in baseball, seemingly pitting old-school traditionalists against new-age number
crunchers in a bench-clearing
shouting match over what constitutes “valuable.”
At stake is the American
League’s Most Valuable Player award.
Cabrera capped an extraordinary season Wednesday night by winning the Triple Crown. The Detroit slugger
led the league with a .330 batting average, 44 homers and
139 RBIs.
Trout, however, made some
history of his own. Called up
three weeks into the season,
the Los Angeles Angels’ rookie quickly became a never-before-seen force prior to his 21st
birthday.
Trout batted .326, second to
Cabrera, with 30 homers and
83 RBIs. He also led the majors
with 49 stolen bases and 129
runs — 20 more than Cabrera
in 22 fewer games.
Trout is the first rookie to
reach 30 homers and 40 steals
in one season and the youngest player with a 30-30 campaign.
“Divide it in half,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.
“They both had sensational
years.”
That would be too easy. The
hard part is making a pick.

IN BRIEF
NHL
First two weeks of
games canceled
The National Hockey League canceled two
weeks of the regular season Thursday, the second
time games have been lost
because of a lockout in
seven years.
The announcement
was made in a two-paragraph statement from the
NHL. It isn’t clear if those
games will be made up, allowing for a complete 82game regular season, if a
deal can be struck soon
with the locked out players.
Unable to work out
how to split up $3 billion
in hockey-related revenues with the players’ association, the NHL wiped
out 82 games from Oct. 11
through Oct. 24.
NASCAR
Kyle Busch
apologizes for rant
Kyle Busch apologized
for a profanity-laced rant
toward manufacturer Toyota over fuel mileage.
Busch was upset during Sunday’s race at Do-
ver because a late stop
for gas cost him the victory. Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin also had to stop for gas, but
winner Brad Keselowski in a Dodge and Jimmie
Johnson in a Chevrolet got
better mileage and didn’t
have to stop.
Busch said in a statement his comments about
Toyota and Toyota Racing
Development were “misguided” and he spoke out
of frustration.

BENGALS NOTES
Green takes home AFC honor
Receiver puts up
stellar numbers
in September.
By Jay Morrison
Staff Writer
CINCINNATI — Cincinnati
Bengals wide receiver A.J.
Green has been named
the AFC Offensive Player
of the Month for September after leading the conference in two categories
and ranking second in another.
Green’s 27 receptions
are the most in the AFC,
and he shares the conference lead with three receiving touchdowns, recording one in each of the
last three games. His 428
receiving yards are second most in the AFC behind Miami’s Brian Hartline (455).
“It’s just another
award. I don’t look at it as
a big deal,” Green said. “I
don’t worry about those
individual awards. I just
go out there and do my
job and get better every
week.”
In addition to the three
consecutive games with
a touchdown, Green has
had back-to-back 100yard games, including a
career-high 183 two weeks
ago at Washington.
He also has had at least
six catches in each of the
last three games after re-
cording four games with
six or more in 2011.
“We’ve known from the
start that we are coaching a player with truly superior ability,” Bengals
coach Marvin Lewis said.
“A.J. was the most impressive rookie I’ve ever been
around, and his desire
to continue getting better and be a team player is
just as impressive.”
The last Bengal to win a
monthly honor was kicker
Mike Nugent, who was the
AFC Special Teams Player
of the Month in September 2010.
Former quarterback
Carson Palmer was the
team’s last AFC Offensive Player of the Month,
winning in September
2005. Former end Antwan Odom won the defensive award in September 2009.
Hall hopeful: Despite
being listed as limited in
practice for the second
consecutive day Thursday, cornerback Leon Hall
appears to be on track for
a return to action Sunday
against Miami.
“I am pretty confident
I will play,” said Hall,
who missed the last two
games.
Cornerback Nate Clements (calf ), who missed
Sunday’s game in Jacksonville, also practiced on a
limited basis for the second consecutive day. Al-

Neither Shawnee’s
Clark Engle — the defending individual champion
— nor Kenton Ridge, winner of the 2011 team title, made it out of the DII Southwest District on
Thursday at the Weatherwax Golf Club.
Engle’s 83 (tied for
14th) was the most shocking score of the day in the
D-II field.
“Not much I can say,”
said Engle. “Most disappointed I’ve ever been. I
didn’t hit the fairways on
the front nine and came
in with a 40.
“So I was really pressing when I started the
back nine. I went bogey,
bogey, bogey, double bogey. Obviously that put
me out of it.”
Kenton Ridge compiled
a 354 team score for 11th
place out of 12. Eric Myers
had KR’s best individual
round with a 78.
Oakwood repeated
as the D-II district team
champion with a 311.
West Liberty-Salem
sophomore Nick Sims
earned one of the two individual qualifying spots
in the Division III portion
of the district.
He tied for round of the
day for the small schools,
shooting a 75 along with
Ishon Ghildyah (Cincinnati Country Day), Jordan
Reese (Cedarville) and
Sam Steinman (Cincinnati
Summit Country Day).
That foursome went
to a playoff to decide the
overall medalist and who
got the individual qualifying spots. Ghildyah birdied the first playoff hole
to earn medalist honors.
He was on the winning
team (CCD shot 327, Cincinnati Seven Hills 330
to book trips to state). So
Steinman, Sims and Reese
played off for two spots
Steinman birdied the
next hole. So Reese, who
was tied for seventh at
state last year, and Sims
played two holes for
the last spot. They both
parred the next hole.
Sims won it with a par on
the fourth hole.
West Liberty-Salem
came in fourth as a team
in D-III (345) while Catholic Central was 10th out
the 12 team at 381.

Wittenberg had to
move the game from Saturday to Sunday, which
it initially was hesitant to
do. The game was shown
coast-to-coast, except
in nine southern states
where another Division
III game, West Georgia at
Millsaps, aired.
“The intensity at practice all week for the Baldwin-Wallace game was always at the highest level,” said Jeff Nichols, a
1979 North graduate who
played defensive back for
the Tigers. “But the added attraction of CBS being there made it even
more intense. We enjoyed John and Pat coming out to practice. I remember them sitting
down against the fence,
watching us practice and
talking to the players and
getting a feel for who’s
who and what’s what, so
they would be prepared
for the game on Sunday.”
The broadcasting team
arrived three to four days
in advance of the game.

some reason, this helps
when they have to flip the
down marker.
Sure, it’s a lot of work
for five nights a year, but
it’s all worth it when a
team gets a first down and
they get to move 10 yards
to the left — or the right.

ly avoided airplanes then

and drove to Springfield.
“I’m excited about it,”
he said that week. “I volunteered for this when I
first heard about it. I really did. Last week we ran a
replay of the Super Bowl
and sat in the studio and
talked about the strike.
Shoot, that’s boring.”
Brian Timm, a student
manager in 1982, recalls
watching film with Madden and Summerall.
“John Madden was running the projector,” he
said. “He sat with the
coaches and moved the
plays back and forth, asking about certain players. I remember clear as
day Pat Summerall sitting
in the back of the room
smoking cigarettes and
not paying much attention.”
Maurer kept the Tigers focused on the game
throughout the week.
“There wasn’t anything
else going on that day,”
said Wittenberg running back Dana Williams,
who now lives in Dublin,
Ohio. “That’s why CBS
put it on.” Before kickoff,
Maurer did a pregame interview with O’Brien on
the field.
“We’re now with Dave
Maurer, the winningest
coach in college football,
percentage-wise,” O’Brien
said. “Is that right?
“That’s what they tell
me,” Maurer said
“Got any surprises for
them, Coach?”
“No, we don’t. I just hope
they block and tackle.”
Despite a 357-206 advantage in total yards,
Wittenberg lost 16-14
when B-W hit a 47-yard
field goal with 10 minutes
left. An injury to starting
quarterback Dave Tobias didn’t help the Tigers,
but backup quarterback
Ron Groh threw a 46-yard
touchdown pass in the
fourth quarter to make
it close. Wittenberg had
first-and-10 at the Baldwin-Wallace 42 when its
final drive stalled.
A number of Wittenberg players from that
1982 team will reunite
Saturday before the 1
p.m. homecoming game
against Wabash. These
days, the memories are
bittersweet because one
senior on that team, Mark
Barren, died of a heart attack in June 2011. He was
51 and the head coach at
Columbus Academy.
Mark’s brother John
was a freshman, and at
one point against B-W,
they were both lined up to
receive a kick. Barren’s funeral brought many players back together, and
they resolved to reunite
more often.
They can revisit that
game anytime they wantby watching it on DVD.
“I always tell the guys,
as much as we watch it,
we always end up losing,”
Timm said.

CLEVELAND — Cleveland
Browns new owner Jimmy Haslam said Thursday
through a team spokesman that personnel
changes are “not something we’ll discuss until
after the year.”
That means despite
the Browns’ 0-4 record,
Haslam apparently has no
plans to overhaul the staff
during the season.
Asked about the comment after practice, head
coach Pat Shurmur said,
“Right now we’re trying to get our first victory. That’s my focus right
now.”
In an interview on FOX
Business, Haslam sounded positive about the
team.
“I don’t think anybody thinks 0-4 [is acceptable] and certainly [President] Mike Holmgren and [coach] Pat
Shurmur don’t think it is
and we don’t think it is,”
Haslam said. “But we’ve
got a young team. We’re
building.
“I think we’re heading
in the right direction. We
don’t officially own the
team yet and we’ve said
all along that we’re not
going to make any comments on personnel until
after we own the team.
“That’s in about two
weeks. And, candidly,
we’ll be halfway through
the football season then,
so any personnel decisions we’d make would
be toward the end of the
year.”
Haslam, who will be approved as the Browns new
owner Oct. 16 in Chicago,
attended practice Thursday and spent time with
Northwestern 14.
Kenton Ridge (4-2)
at Bellefontaine (1-4):
Since an 8-3 playoff season in 2009, Bellefontaine has gone 8-18. The
Cougars won 42-21 a year
ago. Pick: Kenton Ridge
27, Bellefontaine 18.
Mechanicsburg (2-4)
at Triad (5-1): The Cardinals have won five in
a row, all by at least 21
points. Pick: Triad 33, Mechanicsburg 13.
Southeastern (4-2) at
Cedarville (1-4-1): The
Trojans are seventh in Division VI, Region 24. Only eight of the 33 teams in
the region have winning
records. Pick: Southeastern 31, Cedarville 10.

Players, coaches

for settling new
wild-card format.

Joe Saunders is
looking beyond
previous struggles
with the Rangers.
By Eduardo A. Encina
The Baltimore Sun
ARLINGTON, TEXAS — Ori-
oles manager Buck Showalter selected left-hander
Joe Saunders to start the
O’s do-or-die AL wild-card
playoff game against the
Texas Rangers tonight
at Rangers Ballpark in
Arlington.
Saunders, acquired
Aug. 26 from the Arizona
Diamondbacks in a trade
that send right-handed
reliever Matt Lindstrom
to Arizona, has struggled
mightily in six career
starts at Texas, going 0-6
with a 9.38 ERA.
Rookie right-hander
Steve Johnson was
another option, but Showalter said the team wasn’t
sure if Johnson’s strained
knee would be a detriment.
“Joe is rested,” Showalter said. “He’s ready to
go. Obviously, (he has)
experience. He’s pitched
some in the playoffs and
we had a couple options.
We weren’t real sure 100
percent about Stevie’s
knee. ... We’ve said it
many times, our No. 1
starter is the guy who’s
pitching that day. Our
whole rotation has been
the sum of the parts and
Joe’s pitched well for us
since he’s been here, and
he has a tough task ahead
of him.”
Saunders, who spent
much of his career
pitching in the AL West
with the Angels, is 3-7 with
a 6.48 ERA in 11 career
starts against the Rangers.
The 31-year-old lefty is 01 with a 6.00 ERA in four
postseason starts.
“It’s been a see-saw
kind of deal,” Saunders
said about his past stuggles in Texas. “I’ve had
some good games here
and I’ve had some bad
games here. I think everybody has good games and
bad games at certain ballparks. So you just go out
there and do whatever
you can to help the team
win, and that’s what they
asked me to do and that’s
my job.”
Saunders is 3-3 with a
3.63 ERA in seven starts
with the Orioles this
season, going at least 6 ⅓
innings in each of his last
five starts.
“It’s a huge opportunity,” Saunders said. “...
I am going to embrace it,
not change anything and
go out there and hopefully get a W.”
By sometime tonight,
either Chipper Jones will
be out of baseball or the
defending World Series
champion Cardinals will
be out of the playoffs.
One and done.
A pair of wild-card
matchups — St. Louis at
Atlanta, then Baltimore at
Texas — to decide which
teams advance to the next
round. Part of the new,
expanded postseason
format, where 162 games,
six months of grinding
and upward of 50,000
pitches get boiled down
to nine all-or-nothing
innings.
Dramatic? Certainly.
Fair? Well, depends on
who you ask.
“I hate it. I’m oldschool. I’m old,” Washington manager Davey
Johnson said.
At 69, he has a vested
interest. His NL East
champion Nationals will
visit the Cardinals-Braves
winner Sunday in Game 1
of the division series.
“I love it,” Cleveland
closer Chris Perez said. “If
you are in it, or watching
it as a fan, it doesn’t get
any more exciting.”
Or, as Texas general
manager Jon Daniels
summed up on the eve of
his team’s big game: “I’ll
let you know tomorrow.”
Clearly, several sides to
this debate.
Major League Baseball
hoped to get more clubs
involved in postseason
races, and the Angels,
Dodgers, Brewers, Rays
and Pirates were among
those that enjoyed the
chase this year.
There also was some

sentiment that wild-card
teams were getting it too
easy and winning the
World Series too often,
as the Cardinals did last
season. By adding an
extra playoff club in each
league and then forcing it
to play in a winner-takeall game, that could make
the path tougher.
That’s OK by Cardinals
manager Mike Matheny,
whose team clinched the
majors’ final playoff spot
this year.
“We’re ecstatic. We’d
be home right now. We’d
be spectators, so we’re
exceptionally happy
about the format,” he
said.
“The fact that we have
to use up a pitcher, it
makes sense to me. I
believe the team that wins
the division ought to have
an advantage. I think it’s
been well done,” he said.
On the other hand, a
club that runs into the
wrong pitcher could be

then you get other teams

Dan Uggla isn’t a fan.
“I’m not for this new

postseason. Almost every
club headed to the playoffs has dealt with a devastating loss of some sort.
The Bay Area took the
biggest hit — with a long
list of absent players on
the Giants and Athletics.
Each club moved forward
seemingly unfazed, with
San Francisco winning its
second NL West title in
three years and Oakland
capturing the AL West
crown on the regular season’s final day against the
Texas Rangers.
“Twenty-nine teams
are going to finish with a
loss, and I’d say the No. 1
reason is health, which
makes it more spectacular
where we are,” Oakland’s
Jonny Gomes said.
Both teams also lost
a key player because of
PEDs, both to positive
testosterone tests exactly
one week apart. First it
was Cabrera on Aug. 15,
then Colon on Aug. 22.
Ending Strasburg’s
season early was a frontoffice decision. Washington made the call
to shut down its prized
pitcher based on workload after 159⅓ innings
and a 15-6 record. Since
early May, the New York
Yankees have coped
without career saves
leader Rivera, who underwent right knee surgery
in June.
Cabrera tested positive for testosterone and
received a 50-game suspension in mid-August.
The Giants since decided
not to bring him back at
all in the postseason if
they’re still playing when
he’s eligible.
Cincinnati missed
Madson, who’s out for the
year with a torn ligament
in his elbow, and fellow
relievers Nick Masset and
Bill Bray also were lost
before the year began.
Even manager Dusty
Baker spent a stint away
from the team because of
a mini-stroke and irregular heartbeat.

ATLANTA — Break out the
peanut butter and honey.
Kris Medlen is ready for
another start.
Only this time, it’s the
biggest game of his career.
The diminutive righthander, who didn’t even
start the season in Atlanta’s rotation, will deliver
the first pitch in the inaugural wild-card playoff
against the defending
World Series champion
St. Louis Cardinals. The
Braves couldn’t have
asked for anyone better
in the winner-take-all
format, considering they
haven’t lost a start by
Medlen (10-1, 1.57 ERA) in
more than two years.
Just stop reminding him
about it.
“It’s not me by myself,”
said Medlen, who always
snacks on a peanut butter
and honey sandwich
before his starts. “I’ve
given up four or five runs
in a start, and guys pull
it out for me. My name
is in the books or whatever, but it’s a team thing.
I didn’t do it all by myself,
that’s for sure.”
The Braves have won
23 consecutive starts
by Medlen — a modern
big league record. He
eclipsed the mark held by
a pair of Hall of Famers,
Carl Hubbell and Whitey
Ford.
“You can’t help but
notice when someone’s
having the amount of
success that he’s had,”
said Kyle Lohse, who will
start for the Cardinals.
“It’s impressive what he’s
done. Obviously, the team
plays very well behind
him, and to be that consistently good to keep
your team in games or
win games says a lot about
what kind of pitcher he is.
“I expect him to keep
doing what he’s been
doing out there,” Lohse
added, “and my job is to
do the same thing that
he’s doing. Go out there
and shut down their
team.”
No one is quite sure
what to expect from the
one-game format, which
was added this year when
Major League Baseball
expanded the playoff field
by adding a second wildcard team in each league.
“We know the necessity
to make it like a Game 7,”
Cardinals manager Mike
Matheny said. “But I also
want these guys to go out
and play the game we’ve
been playing.”
David Tulis/Associated Press
Kris Medlen has posted a
10-1 record and a 1.57 ERA
this season for the Braves.

High Schools
Prep football power rankings Week 7
Division I
1. Wayne (5-1): WR’s Jesse Bray
(22 catches; 20.6 average) and
Devin Reed (10; 19.2) have turned
into home run threats for QB
Javon Harrison. Warriors have
won four straight, handed Winton
Woods its only loss and fell only to
unbeaten Canton McKinley; host
Beavercreek.
2. Springboro (6-0): Panthers
haven’t scored less than 34 points
since the opener and went for a
season-high 69 in a rout of West
Carrollton; at Fairborn.
3. Lakota West (6-0): Firebirds are
assured their first winning season
since the 2009 playoff team; at Oak
Hills.
4. Centerville (4-2): Elks dodged
a spirited effort by Fairmont to pull
out a 17-14 win, its fourth straight;
host Northmont.
5. Northmont (4-2): Thunderbolts
bumped Lebanon out after the
Warriors fell at Xenia; Northmont
has lost only to Westerville South
and Lakota East, both 5-1; at
Centerville.
Others: Beavercreek, Fairborn,
Fairfield, Fairmont, Hamilton,
Lakota East, Lebanon, Mason,
Miamisburg, Middletown,
Springfield, Troy, Xenia.
Division II
1. Trotwood-Madison (4-2): The
Rams must likely win out to make
the playoffs and will need a lot of
help to host a first-round game.
Trotwood rose to No. 10 in Region 8
this week and none of its remaining
GWOC North opponents have
winning records; host Greenville.
2. Tippecanoe (6-0): RBs Jacob
Hall and Cameron Johnson have
combined for more than 1,500
game losing skid; host Bellbrook.
Others: Bellefontaine, Carroll, Dunbar,
Graham, Kenton Ridge, Meadowdale,
Monroe, Oakwood.
Division IV
Tecumseh’s Jimmy Rowland (right) carries the ball against Urbana.

yards rushing and 25 TDs; at
Stebbins.
3. Franklin (5-1): Wildcats’ defense
has turned up the heat, allowing
just six points in each of the last
three games; host Valley View.
4. Edgewood (5-1): Cougars
haven’t beaten a winning team and
three of its wins were against teams
with 1-5 records; that all changes at
unbeaten Northwest (6-0).
5. Tecumseh (4-2): Arrows bump
Sidney from the lineup; Tecumseh
has won two straight and lost only
to Northwest and Urbana (5-1); at
Spg. Shawnee.
Others: Bellbrook, Greenville,
Kings, Little Miami, Piqua, Ross,
Sidney, Stebbins, Talawanda,
Vandalia Butler, West Carrollton.
Division III
1. Thurgood Marshall (5-1):
Cougars get an early playoff tune-up
at usual playoff contender Jonathan
Alder, which has lost to ClintonMassie, Zanesville and Winton
Woods, teams with a combined 17-1
record.
2. Alter (5-0-1): QB Malik Zaire has
been as good as advertised, helping
the Knights score no less than
42 points in its five wins; defense
has stepped up too, allowing just
six points in each of the last three
games; at McNicholas on Saturday.
3. Urbana (5-1): Hillclimbers are a
lock to make the Region 11 playoffs
and likely will host a first-round game;
QB Nathan Mays has thrown for 1,231
yards and 20 TDs; host Ben Logan.
4. Springfield Shawnee (4-2):
Braves have clawed back into Region
12 playoff contention with three
straight victories; host Tecumseh.

Division V
1. Coldwater (6-0): If the Cavaliers
beat host Anna, it’ll be their 500th
win in program history. It also would
be the Cavs’ 152nd win since 2000.
2. Covington (6-0): Buccaneers
handed Miami East its first CCC
setback last week, 41-0; at TV South.
3. Versailles (4-2): Tigers have
won three straight and beaten
Marion Local since falling to
Coldwater; host New Bremen.
4. West Liberty-Salem (6-0):
High-scoring Tigers put 78 points
on Northeastern last week; host
Division VI
1. Marion Local (5-1): Flyers all
but knocked Delphos SJ’s out of
the MAC race with a hard-fought
14-0 win last week; host St. Henry
in yet another great conference
showdown.
2. St. Henry (4-2): It pays to play
up; that’s why the Redskins are No.
1 in Region 24, thanks to defeats of
Eaton (D-III) and Mariemont (D-V);
at Marion Local.
3. Minster (4-2): Wildcats ended
a two-game midseason slide by
taking out Anna, 34-8; at winless
Parkway.
4. Bradford (5-1): Railroaders
move up a spot after taking out
TC North, but it was costly; super
RB James Canan was knocked
out in the second quarter with a
dislocated elbow; at Arcanum.
5. Fort Loramie (4-2): Redskins
make their way back into the lineup
and bump TC North; host Muncie
Southside (Ind.).

1. Chaminade Julienne (5-1): Eagles
have lost super senior RB Brandon
Payne to a season-ending knee injury;
put a four-game win streak on the line
at Badin.
2. Milton-Union (5-1): Bulldogs
haven’t scored less than 40 in any
of their wins and outlasted Carlisle
51-42 last week for the early SWBL
Buckeye lead; at Preble Shawnee.
3. Fenwick (4-2): Falcons should get
past winless Roger Bacon, but then
face the GCL North gauntlet of CJ
and Alter.
4. Brookville (5-1): Like Fenwick,
Blue Devils move up a spot and have
won four straight; at Monroe.
5. Carlisle (4-2): Indians tumble
from third after losing to M-U; have
slipped to No. 13 in Region 16; at
Madison.
Others: Badin, Greeneview, Greenon,
Madison, Northeastern, Northridge,
Northwestern, Ponitz Tech, Preble

need help to make the postseason
for the first time; host winless
Upper Scioto Valley.
Others: Anna, Bethel, Dixie, Miami
East, National Trail, Twin Valley
South.

Brown receives his due
Wideout coming off
12-reception game
against Spartans.
By Doug Harris
Staff Writer
COLUMBUS — Offensive
linemen are known for
having a thankless job,
but Ohio State’s Philly
Brown made sure he expressed his gratitude for
some much-needed help
he received from right
tackle Reid Fragel against
Michigan State last week.
Brown fumbled after
making a short reception
in the first quarter and
was too tangled up in traffic to retrieve the ball. But
much to his relief, Fragel
pounced on it with his 6foot-8, 310-pound frame,
saving the Buckeyes from
a costly turnover in a tight
win.
“When we got to the
sidelines, I went up to him
and said, ‘Thank you,’
and gave him a hug,”
Brown said. “I usually
never fumble. And when
I fumbled, I was kind of
down. ... He helped me
get back to (being) myself.
He said, ‘Cheer up.’ He
said he’s got me.
“That was the longest
play ever to see the ball
bouncing around. And to
see big Reid jump on it,
that made me feel good.”
Brown may have needed a pep talk from a teammate to forget about his
gaffe, but the junior’s consistent play all season has
given the Buckeyes a lift.
He had 12 catches
against the Spartans —

one of the all-time top-five
receiving days at OSU –
and is tied for the Big Ten
lead with 32 receptions
this season.
Brown also has tied
former Buckeye star Terry
Glenn for the most receptions through five games
in program history.
He had four first-down
grabs against the Spartans and has become a dependable possession receiver.
“I’m glad coach Herman has developed so
much trust in me that he
can call that many plays
for me,” Brown said, referring to offensive coordinator Tom Herman.
Brown already has 18
more catches than he had
last season when he tied
for the team lead.
“He’s really improved,

now. The good thing is
he’s not near what he can
be,” coach Urban Meyer said.
“He’s earned that. He’s
our guy to go to right now
in certain situations. I’m
very proud of him.”
But Meyer couldn’t resist needling Brown for a
relatively paltry 84 receiving yards against the Spartans, a 7.0 average.
“He’s allowed to make a
guy miss once in a while,
get more than 8 yards,”
Meyer said.

The doors to the Clark
County Board of Elections were locked briefly on
Wednesday before early voting
was scheduled to end.
Michael Trimmer Whipp,
62, said his wife went to the
board of elections at 3130 E.
Main St. just before or at 4:30
p.m. Wednesday to cast an absentee ballot, but was unable
to get inside the building.
“She was quite irritated. She
scrambled to get over there
and the doors were locked,”
Trimmer Whipp said.
Clark County Board of Elections Director Matt Tlachac
initially disputed Trimmer
Whipp’s claim, saying his office was open until 5 p.m. as
required by a state directive.
He learned later from staff
members that the office doors
were still set to automatically
lock at 4:30 p.m.
Staff members discovered
the issue at 4:31 p.m., he said,
and remedied the problem.
“We were all standing there.
There were people in there.
It’s not that we were telling
people they couldn’t come in.
It shouldn’t have happened
but it did,” Tlachac said.
More than 1,010 voters have
cast absentee ballots so far.
About 900 Clark County early
voters have voted in-person.
Tlachac said one person
who complained about being unable to vote mistakenly
went to his polling location in
his precinct instead of to the
board of elections office on
East Main Street.
“There’s a lot of confusion
this year. We’re trying to direct people to our website
because the calls are insurmountable,” Tlachac said.
Voters can cast absentee
ballots at their county board
of elections office in person
through Nov. 2, mail in their
absentee ballots or vote on
Election Day on Nov. 6.
Champaign County has had
a total of 2,236 people cast absentee ballots since early voting began Oct. 2. About 149
people have voted in-person.
“We’ve not had any problems,” said Meredith Bodey,
Champaign County deputy director.
However, the office has
fielded numerous calls from
Champaign County voters who
have questions about early
voting and voter registration.
Bodey said some voters
have asked if they can cast absentee ballots at their regular
poll location and expressed
concern about whether absentee ballots are counted on
Election Day. Some were unaware about the option to update voter registration address
information online and that
they could vote before Election Day, she said.

who was originally sentenced
to 18 years to life
in prison for a
hit-and-run death,
was released
Friday.
hit-and-run death of an Upper Valley Mall shopper is now
free as a result of an Ohio Supreme Court decision.
The recent ruling means
three of the four women convicted of killing 49-year-old
John Deselem in the parking
lot at the mall have now been
released from prison.
Alicia McAlmont was freed
from prison Friday after the
state affirmed that her right
against double jeopardy — a
rule that forbids someone being tried twice on the same
charge — was violated when
she was convicted in 2009.
“I’m sure she’s happy to
have this behind her,” attor-
ney Charles Blue said.
McAlmont, along with Toneisha Gunnell, Mahoghany Patterson and Renada Manns
stole a car in Columbus on
June 7, 2005, and took $3,500
worth of clothing from Macy’s
at the mall. With story security in pursuit, the four fled in
the car, hitting and killing Deselem as he either stepped off
the curb or attempted to stop
them.

Lamp knocked over is

By Mark Fahey
A fire at a home in Donnelsville had firefighters working
for six hours Thursday, starting at 4:40 a.m.
Efforts to extinguish the
house fire were led by the
Bethel Twp. Fire Department
and involved 6 other fire departments, with five tankers,
three fire engines and one ladder at the scene, blocking U.S.
40 until the site was cleared at
11:07 a.m.
The building’s three occupants were home when the
fire started. All three escaped
the fire, but one man on the
first floor was taken to Miami
Valley Hospital for treatment
for minor burns to his face and
hair and for smoke inhalation.
The man had gone upstairs to
wake the other two occupants.
Flames were first spotted
coming from several windows
by a Bethel Twp. ambulance
crew. A neighbor also noticed
the fire and called authorities.
The house was fully ablaze
within minutes from when it
was called in, said officials at
Bethel Township.
State Fire Marshal investigators determined that the likely cause of the fire was a lamp
that was knocked over into a
chair. No evidence of criminal
activity was found in the examination of the scene and interviews with the occupants.
Two cats and a dog were
missing after the fire; the remains of one cat and one dog
were recovered later.
The house, an older structure, was destroyed by the fire.

SPRINGFIELD — Springfield vot-
ers cited the war in Afghanistan and jobs as key issues
they want to see the presidential candidates discuss more in
debates.
The Springfield News-Sun
interviewed residents downtown Thursday to get their
reactions to Wednesday’s
presidential debate on domestic policy between Democratic President Barack
Obama and his Republican
challenger former Gov. Mitt
Romney.
We talked candidly with
three area residents — two of
whom said they identify with
the major political parties and
a third who described herself
as an independent.
Republican
Springfield resident Richard Fennessey said he generally votes Republican but had
remained undecided prior to
the debate. Romney’s arguments on Wednesday, though,
swayed him to the Republican’s side.

Traveling memorial to arrive Saturday
By Andrew McGinn
Staff Writer
SPRINGFIELD — It’s easy to
see the fallen sons and brothers of any era in the life-sized
paintings that make up the Lima Company Memorial of 25
Marines and one Navy corpsman killed in Iraq.
Mike Strahle sees his
friends.
Strahle was a member of Lima Company during a 2005
deployment to Iraq, when the
Columbus-based Marine Reserve unit lost 23 men in a seven-month period.
The 28-year-old Columbus resident is now director
of the traveling memorial that
will visit the terminal at the
Springfield-Beckley Municipal
Airport on Saturday and Sunday.
“No matter what your opinion on the war, everyone
seems to have a universally
powerful reaction to the paintings,” Strahle said.
For a year now, Strahle has
traveled from venue to venue with the memorial — something that has helped him
make peace with what happened.
“It seems like the deployment was one big massacre,”
he said.
In reality, he explained,
it was “a very successful deployment with three very bad
days.”
One of those bad days was
May 11, 2005. Strahle was one
of 14 Marines riding in an amphibious assault vehicle near
the Syrian border when they
were rocked by a roadside
bomb.
Six were killed.
Strahle survived, but with
widespread shrapnel wounds.
Another roadside bomb, on
Aug. 3, 2005, killed another
14, he said.
The others were lost to
small arms fire.
“We weren’t able to stop
and mourn until the mission
was done,” he said.

artist Anita Miller set out to
memorialize the fallen Ma-
rines, later adding three additional Marines to the memorial called “The Eyes of Freedom.”
With many Lima Company Marines in attendance,
the paintings made their public debut in 2008 at the Ohio
Statehouse.
“The biggest compliment
we can give to Anita is that
they were so well done, we
didn’t even get close to them,”
Strahle said. As he put it,
“They might as well be standing right in front of you.”
Springfield resident Alan
Banion, a Vietnam veteran,
saw the memorial this year in
Troy, and thought it would be
good to display locally. Next
year, the memorial heads to
the U.S. Capitol.
“It struck home for us,”
Banion said. “We had a nephew killed in Afghanistan three
years ago.”

HEALTH CARE
Ohio:
Clarify
health
rule
State misses deadline
on ‘Obamacare,’ seeks
more federal guidance.
By Catherine Candisky
The Columbus Dispatch
Gov. John Kasich’s administration did not meet this past
week’s deadline for establishing
the minimum benefits Ohioans
will be entitled to in 2014 under
the federal health-care law.
In a letter to federal regulators, Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor, an opponent of the Affordable Health Care Act or “Obamacare,” cited a lack of information and guidance for Ohio’s
failure to submit its list of “essential health benefits.”
The federal health-care law
required states to set the minimum benefits that insurers
must include in the health coverage they offer. The decisions
will affect those who will purchase individual and smallgroup policies and, more immediately, insurance companies
who must by 2014 develop their
plans and determine how much
they cost.
President Barack Obama’s
domestic-policy centerpiece,
the health-care law listed 10
general categories of essential
benefits, including preventative
care, emergency-room services and prescription drugs, but
left it largely to states to specify
coverage available to their residents.
In December, the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services issued a bulletin advising states that they could select
an existing health plan in their
states as a benchmark. Still,
some of the required services
are not included in many current plans in Ohio.
Taylor, in a letter to Health
and Human Services Secretary
Kathleen Sebelius, said “the
bulletin falls short of meeting
states’ real needs for clarification, guidance and interpretation and cannot substitute for
the authority of the rule....
“Ultimately, a rule, proposed
or otherwise, needs to be issued so states can best understand their essential healthbenefits-related obligations.”
Essential benefit requirements apply to insurance plans
sold through online health exchanges, which will be set up
in each state by 2014, and those
sold elsewhere. The law does
not preclude insurers from offering more-comprehensive
policies.
Prosecutor
‘respects’
court ruling
McAlmont
continued from C1
An appeals court overturned
a November 2005 conviction
and ordered a new trial, saying a
prospective black juror was improperly dismissed.
A second trial in 2007 ended when Clark County Common
Pleas Judge Doug Rastatter declared a mistrial after a juror researched two legal terms online
after deliberations had started.
In 2009, Gunnell, McAlmont
and Patterson were found guilty
and sentenced to 18 years to life
in a third trial.
Redistricting cost: estimated $15M
By Jim Siegel and Alan Johnson
The Columbus Dispatch
State Issue 2, the proposed
constitutional amendment on
redistricting, would cost taxpayers up to $15.2 million to implement over eight years, according to a new state fiscal analysis. Supporters of the plan dismissed the estimate as “comically high.”
The cost estimate was calculated by the state Office of Budget and Management at the request of Secretary of State Jon
Husted. A cost estimate is required for ballot issues.
The budget office said that
most of the cost — an estimated $9 million to $12.9 million
— would have to be spent during the first two years if voters
on Nov. 6 approve the proposal
to revamp how boundary lines
are drawn for congressional and
state legislative districts. Under the plan, new lines would
be drawn immediately for the
2014 elections, and then would
be drawn again in 2021 after the
next census.
The money would pay for setting up a redistricting commission, including staff members.
The remainder, $2 million to
$2.3 million, would be incurred
in the remaining six years.
District boundaries are now
redrawn every 10 years in processes controlled by the majority political party. Voters First

“Most people are aware. But
we’ve had some people who
didn’t know they were able to
do this,” Bodey said.
Gunnell and McAlmont appealed the sentence, citing double jeopardy. Patterson and
Manns took a plea deal in 2010
and were sentenced to 10 and
11½ years, respectively, with
credit for time served.
Gunnell won her appeal on
July 19 when a divided Ohio Supreme Court ruled that Rastatter erred when he declared a
mistrial in Toneisha Gunnell’s
2007 trial and that the third trial
violated her right against being
tried again on the same charges.
Patterson was granted judicial release July 25 when Clark
County Prosecutor Andy Wilson
and Rastatter agreed she, too,
should be freed from prison as a
result of the state’s ruling.
“Realistically, once the Gunnell decision came out, we
knew it was only a matter of
time,” Blue said.
Wilson didn’t fight the release of Gunnell, Patterson or

League of Women Voters of
Ohio, Democrats and unions, is
trying to take the partisan gerrymandering out of the process by
creating an appointed 12-member citizens redistricting commission.
“We have been hearing for
weeks that OBM was preparing
a comically high cost estimate,
and they did not disappoint
with the whopper they sent
out today,” said Sandy Theis,
spokeswoman for Voters First.
“We are confident Issue 2 can be
implemented at a much, much,
much lower cost, and we know
the benefits to Ohio will be invaluable.”
Republicans have sharply
criticized Issue 2 for a number
of reasons, including the potential cost.
“Issue 2’s exorbitant price tag
is not surprising,” said Carlo LoParo, spokesman for the GOPcreated Protect Your Vote Ohio.
“As voters learn more about this
out-of-touch proposal, they will
conclude that $15 million is a lot
to spend for a commission that
is not accountable to the taxpayers or their elected representatives.”
Budget director Tim Keen
cautioned in a letter to Husted
that the costs are only estimates
because the commission is “a
new entity of a type that has no
precedent in Ohio.” He said the
final cost would be affected by
the legislature, the commission
and any resulting legal actions.
The estimates, Keen wrote,
are based on an analysis in 2005
of a proposed redistricting plan,
costs related to California’s
new citizen redistricting commission, and the cost of Ohio’s
current map-drawing process.
That process includes a variety
of personnel and office-related
costs, including attorneys and
a pair of consultants who were
had so far.”
He said he’s looking forward
to hearing their thoughts on the
war in Afghanistan, possibly
during the next presidential debate on Oct. 16.

me as a veteran,” Wilson said.
“This war that’s been going on
is nonsense. It’s been nonsense
since the Bush administration.”
Democrat
Thomas Wilson of Springfield said he generally votes as a
Democrat, though he’s leaning
independent this year.
“President Obama was pretty
solid, but surprisingly enough,
Mitt Romney really articulated
himself a lot better than he has
in the past,” Wilson said.
Obama talked in circles a
bit, he said, while Romney was
good with his rebuttals.
He said he also wants to hear
the candidates debate foreign
policy. Wilson is a Navy veteran.
“I really didn’t care too much
about what they said because it
Independent
Springfield resident Barbara Strelsky said she identifies
herself as an independent, but
nothing in last night’s debate
sold her on either candidate in
terms of the most important issue to her — job creation.
“ I still don’t see any really clear plan for job creation,”
Strelsky said
“They both keep saying
they’re going to create jobs
but still don’t have a clear plan
as to how this is going to happen. OK, we’re going to train all
these new people for new technical jobs. Well, how do you
plan on doing that while still
keeping people from starving to
paid $105,000 each.
The amendment says that
commission members can set
their salaries and request funding that is “necessary” to draw
the maps.
The budget office estimates
that the cost of the 12 commission members will be $1.2 million for the first two years, or
$100,000 per member, for 20hour workweeks in year one,
and five-hour workweeks in
year two. It estimates the cost of
an executive director and a dozen other staff members for the
first two years at $1.7 million.
Those costs include wages, plus
30 percent for fringe benefits.
Keen estimates $2 million
to $4 million for the initial selection and training costs for
staff and commission members. “Given the short timeline
and the potentially large number of applications, this eligibility checking could be a costly endeavor,” Keen wrote, saying the
estimate is based on costs experienced in California.
Keen also estimates litigation
costs of $4.25 million to $5.25
million, also based on California figures.
Voters First argues that the
California comparison is inaccurate. “(Opponents) are willing to
make up numbers out of thin air
in a desperate effort to mislead
voters and hold onto their power,” Theis said.

“I think that Romney actually won the debate, he did appear more presidential yesterday, but has it changed my
vote? No,” she said. “Give me

Chief: Cuts delayed
response to fire
A fire chief says cutbacks in his department
delayed the response to
a fire that consumed a
northern Ohio church.
Authorities said the
fire late Wednesday destroyed The Father’s
House Church in Norton,
near Akron. Media reports said 13 departments
responded to the fire, but
faced challenges putting it
out due to lack of fire hydrants in the area.
Norton Fire Department Chief Mike Schultz said the effort was also hampered by the fact
there were no firefighters
on duty in the city when
the fire was reported at
about 11:30 p.m.
Schulz said staffing
had to be cut after a local
levy failed in March. Now
there are no firefighters
on duty from 10 p.m. until
6 a.m. Voters also defeated a levy last November.

HELP STOP FRAUD
When placing a classified ad you will receive a confirmation number. If a Cox
Ohio Representative contacts you about
your advertising they will ask you to verify
your confirmation number before proceeding with the call. If the person calling you does not ask for the confirmation
number, DO NOT provide any personal
billing information to the caller.
USE CAUTION:
Be aware of an offer from anyone who
proposes to send you a cashier’s check
and then have you wire the balance. This
is fraud. Banks will cash these counterfeit checks but hold you responsible for
the amount when they fail to clear. Trust
your instincts. If it sounds too good to be
true, it probably is. Transactions with local buyers and sellers are safest. Do not
wire funds to a distant buyer, regardless
of carrier. Do not provide any personal
billing information to a business that you
are not aware of or has not been validated
If you suspect fraud or a scam, please
contact the non-emergency number of
your local police department. Or, contact

Gone Country
I had a chuckalicious moment this week at Cox Media
Group, as some of my co-workers were gearing up for the annual fall weight-loss challenge.
Monday was the initial weigh-
in, and everyone was snacking
to get higher numbers so next
week’s losses would be huge.
The ladies were noting how
NewsCenter 7’s James Brown is
always a tough competitor. Of
course he is.
He’s a guy! Men can just picture themselves thinner and
poof! Off comes the weight!
My morning show co-host Frye
Guy recently lost more than 20
pounds just by being cute and
having an infectious laugh.
Take heart mortal women,
even celebrities have their vices!
While it is true it’s their job to
look like they walked off Mount
Olympus at all times and they
can well afford to work out seven hours a day with a personal trainer and have a chef preparing their meals, at the end
of the day, they’re just like us.
Sort of.
Carrie Underwood, often
found on the list of “sexiest vegetarians,” is extremely conscientious when it comes to food.
Yet she recently told The Tennessean she has her Achilles’
heel.
“I’m good with that. But,
that’s not to say we won’t stop
at a truck stop occasionally and
I won’t grab a bag of Doritos.”
Miranda Lambert, proud of
her “normal size” has adopted
the motto: “When in doubt, fry
it or add cheese.”
Reba McEntire says her
weight fluctuates, which could
be due to her fondness for
Dr Pepper and peanut-butter
cookies.
And goddess Faith Hill just
revealed on Twitter she loves
barbecue chips with homemade ranch dressing.
When asked what she does
to stay healthy, her answer
was a popular one, “Right now
I’m eating Milk Duds because I
missed dinner and didn’t want
to be late for the chat :)”
Well, if the Milk Dud Diet
helps you land someone who
looks like Tim McGraw, I’ll accept that challenge any day.

DAYTON — Dayton Music Fest
2012, the eighth annual local indie rock festival, will feature 34
acts performing in eight different venues today and Saturday.
The event typically draws
about 1,000 to 1,200 people
over two days, according to
Don Thrasher of Belmont, coorganizer of DMF since 2010.
Expenses to organize the festival this year are less than
$10,000, he said.
Eighteen of the bands performing at this year’s event
have never played at DMF before, said Kyle Melton of Dayton, co-organizer of the festival
since 2010.
“It’s an opportunity to really find out what Dayton’s indie
rock scene is all about,” Melton
said of DMF. “While there are
countless shows throughout the
year that people could attend,
DMF is an extremely concentrated event that enables someone who is curious to sample
a lot of different flavors. There
are lots of bands that are making waves beyond Dayton that
remain under the radar for
most people here in town, and
this is an excellent opportunity
to check them out.”
Local performances
DMF will kick off at 5 p.m. today with a free, all-ages show at
Omega Music. Bands slated to
perform are Goodbye, The 1984
Draft, Shrug and Southeast Engine.
A special opening night show
will take place beginning at 9
p.m. Friday at Canal Street Tavern, with performances by Grenades!?, Roley Yuma, Vanity
Theft and Astro Fang.
The event will continue beginning at noon Saturday at the
Midwest Outdoor Experience —
a festival featuring outdoor activities, competitions, a craft
beer garden, food, camping and
more — at Eastwood MetroPark.

Street Tavern as part of Dayton Music Fest 2012. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO BY DON THRASHER
DMF is teaming up with Midwest Outdoor Experience for
the first time this year, featuring performances by Starving
in the Belly of the Whale, Duke
of Owls, Tim Pritchard and the
Boxcar Suite, and BJSR.
Performances will continue,
starting with a show at 5 p.m.
Saturday at South Park Tavern.
Later, performers will take the
stage at The Trolley Stop, Tumbleweed Connection, Blind
Bob’s, The Oregon Express and
Canal Street Tavern on Saturday night.
“This is essentially an indie
rock festival, meaning we don’t
have straight up metal bands
or Nashville-style country singers,” Thrasher said. “That said,
indie rock is such a broad term;
it includes genres such as punk,
garage rock, roots rock, acoustic-pop, electro-pop and folkrock, which are just some of
the styles represented this year.
This festival really does offer a
nice look at the diversity and talent working in Dayton today.”
Admission for DMF costs $10
for a weekend pass. Wristband
passes are available in advance
of the event for $10 at Omega
Music, and at Midwest Outdoor
Experience on Saturday. People
also can buy a wristband at any
of the participating venues during the event. This pass will give
the holder access to all of the
DMF shows both days. If people
want to go to one venue during
the festival to watch the scheduled bands at that location only, they can pay $5.
David Obenour of Dayton,
editor of Ghettoblaster Magazine, a locally based, music and
cultural magazine, has attended DMF two times, and plans
to go again this year to see local acts.
“It’s cool in the sense that
you always see a lot of local
band names on posters, but you
don’t know what they sound
like,” he said. “It’s a good
chance to immerse yourselves
in a lot of these bands that you
may not have heard before.”
Spotlighting Dayton’s
music scene
Founded in 2005 by locals
Dan Clayton, Andy Ingram and
Shawn Johnson, DMF was created to showcase “the burgeoning music scene bustling in Dayton,” which often is overlooked
by the national scene and those
living in the region, according
to event organizers.
Today, DMF works to spotlight Dayton’s indie music
scene, creating a portrait of
where the local scene stands
around 2012. The event also
showcases performers originally from the local area who now
reside elsewhere but still maintain ties to Dayton.
“Dayton’s indie scene is
somewhat unique in that there
is a substantial musical legacy
... but we simply aren’t on most
people’s radar these days as
having any sort of music scene,”
Melton said. “For the people
that live and create here, and
for all the touring bands that do
come through, they know that
simply isn’t the case. There is
a lot of support amongst bands
here in town, and stylistically there is tremendous diversity amongst the bands. Whatever your musical tastes, investigating the Dayton indie scene is
definitely worth the time.”
Thrasher, a contributing music writer for the Springfield
News-Sun, agreed.
“Dayton has always been a
hotbed for creativity, from inventors and great thinkers, to
painters, writers and actors,” he
said. “This extends to local music as well. ... DMF is just another way to help shine a spotlight
on the great overlooked talent
working hard week after week
for little reward.”

FILM REVIEW: A-
‘Frankenweenie’ is
back and to great effect
By Roger Moore
McClatchy Newspapers
“Frankenweenie” is
darned near an instant
classic. Tim Burton has
taken the animated short
that launched his career
and expanded it into a
vivid and moving essay on
science and love.
That was the kernel of
the original 1984 “Frankenweenie,” back at the
beginning of Burton’s career. Burton gives that genius concept full voice
in a rich, delicately-textured, 3-D jewel in stopmotion animation style.
Victor (voiced by Charlie Tahan) is a loner, a
smart kid who spends
hours in the attic, fiddling
with science projects.
He’s pretty much friendless, save for his beloved
weenie dog, Sparky.
Mom (Catherine
O’Hara) indulges him, but
Dad (Martin Short) wants
the boy to get out, make
some friends and take up

MPAA rating: PG for
thematic elements, scary
images and action
a sport. Victor just wants
to come up with a project
for the school science fair.
Dad suggests they
“compromise,” so Victor finds himself at the
plate, playing baseball.
And when he hits a home
run, Sparky chases the
home-run ball into the
street and is killed. Victor
mourns in a morose, quiet way.
Mom’s reassurance
that no one you ever love
dies, “they just move into a special place in your
heart,” isn’t enough.
It’s only when Victor
sits through a lesson by
his Eastern Bloc science
teacher (Martin Landau) that he has his answer. Rzykruski has made
a dead frog’s muscles
twitch with electricity.
Victor will dig up
Sparky, patch and stitch
him up, attach a positive
and negative lead on his
neck (bolts, of course)
and thunder-storm jolt his
beloved dog back to life.
Burton ensures that
there’s an animated
warmth to the boy’s connection to this playful
mutt, who is pretty much
his old self once he’s revived — save for the odd
body part that falls off.
Burton’s ability to give
heart to the weird, the unsympathetic and sometimes animated characters in his films has been
the hallmark of his career.
So, don’t be surprised if
your eyes mist over for a
silly dog of clay and the
stick-boy who loves him.
“Taken,” the enormously successful 2008
thriller in which a retired
agent gets his kidnapped
teenage daughter back,
was an explosion of middle-age machismo. Seeing Liam Neeson dish out
some skull-cracking payback to every young thug
in Paris proved to be a rollicking good time.
Now there’s “Taken
2,” in which Neeson returns as Bryan Mills, the
ex-CIA operative living
in Los Angeles where he
hovers over his daughter,
Kim (Maggie Grace), even
though he no longer lives
with her or her mother,
Lenore (Famke Janssen).
Before you can say
“bad idea,” mother and
daughter decide to surprise Bryan in Turkey just
as he’s ready to wrap-up a
three-day freelance security assignment.
Little do they know Albanian crime boss Murad
(Rade Serbedzija) is still
ticked off that Bryan
killed his son, who was
one of Kim’s kidnappers.
He unleashes a squad of
tough guys to capture
Bryan and his family.
While “Taken” was predictable and hardly believable, it got by on a propulsive energy from director Pierre Morel and a
sense of surprise.
The sequel turns out to
be a lethargic retread.

No mid-life crisis for 007 as Bond films turn 50
By Jill Lawless
Associated Press
LONDON — It was a meeting of the two most famous British people on the
planet: Queen Elizabeth II
turned to her tuxedo-wearing guest and said, “Good
evening, Mr. Bond.”
The pairing of these
icons, the English monarch
and the king of spies — in a
film for the opening ceremony of the London Olympics — was a thrilling moment. It scarcely mattered
that one of them was fictional. Agent 007 is real
to millions of moviegoers,
and once again they will
flock to see Bond battle for
queen and country when
his 23rd official screen adventure, “Skyfall,” opens
this fall.
He’s come a long way
in the 50 years since the
release — on Oct. 5, 1962
— of a modestly budgeted spy movie called “Dr.
No.” It introduced a dapper but deadly secret agent
who wore Savile Row suits,
drove an Aston Martin,
liked his martinis shaken, not stirred, and announced himself as “Bond,
James Bond.”
What’s the secret of his
survival? Familiarity, said
Roger Moore, who played
Bond in seven films, more
than any other actor.
“It’s sort of like a bedtime story: As long as you
don’t go too far away from
the original, the child is
happy,” Moore said. “The
audience gets what it’s expecting: beautiful girls, actions, gadgets — there’s a
formula.”
That fiendishly successful formula had modest beginnings. Two upstart producers, Canadian Harry
Saltzman and American Albert “Cubby” Broccoli, ac-
Sean Connery (left) plays British superspy James Bond in a scene from the 1963 film “From Russia With Love.” Connery,
a relatively unknown Scottish actor and former bodybuilder, was cast in the hit movie as Agent 007. The film is included
in the MGM and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment Blu-Ray “Bond 50” anniversary set. ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTO/UNITED
ARTISTS AND DANJAQ, LLC
quired the rights to a series
of novels by Ian Fleming,
a former World War II intelligence officer who created 007 as sort of a fantasy alter-ego. Saltzman and
Broccoli had a budget of
just $1 million, but through
a blend of luck and design assembled an amazing
team of on- and off-screen
talent. Sean Connery, a relatively unknown Scottish
actor and former bodybuilder, was cast as Bond
against the wishes of studio
United Artists, which wanted an established star such
as Cary Grant for the role.
“Everything or Nothing,” a new documentary about the Bond films,
shows the final seal of approval came from Cubby Broccoli’s wife. “Is he
sexy?” Broccoli asked her.
Connery got the part.
Behind the scenes were
artists like John Barry,
composer of Bond’s pulsequickening theme music;
Maurice Binder, who created the famous gun-barrel
title sequence; and designer Ken Adam, a Germanborn former RAF fighter
pilot whose futuristic sets
gave the films their look of
modernist cool. In the documentary, which airs today
on EPIX, Adam recalls feeling “crazy with courage”
in those early days. Others
remember the same devil-
may-care atmosphere.
“It was barnstorming
days,” said David M. Kay,
whose company provided aircraft for filming and
stunts on the early Bond
films, including the helicopter-volcano sequence
in “You Only Live Twice.”
“We didn’t have health
and safety as we have now.
Broccoli was an absolute
cavalier and demanded
things that were well-nigh
impossible,” Kay recalled.
It was also enormous fun,
he said — “Men playing
with boys’ toys.”
That sense of playfulness spilled over to the
screen. “Dr. No” arrived
in movie theaters with
perfect timing, as Britain
swapped postwar austerity
for growing prosperity.
Bond’s world of cars, casinos and caviar was sexy,
luxurious and colorful. Instead of a gray, shadowy
figure, here was spy as
glamorous jet-setter. The
films turned Cold War anxiety into a thrill-ride from
which the good guy always
emerged triumphant.
“There had been nothing like it before,” said Graham Rye, editor of 007
magazine, who remembers
being blown away by the
film as an 11-year-old. “A lot
of British films at the time
were austere, black-andwhite, kitchen-sink dra-
mas. When ‘Dr. No’ exploded onto the screen, it had a
pretty visceral effect on everybody.”
From the start, success
was enhanced by clever
marketing.
What began as Fleming’s way of demonstrating
his character’s expensive
tastes quickly became a
commercial arrangement,
now worth millions to the
films’ producers.
More than movies, these
were experiences in which
key elements were established, expected and anticipated. The locations
that spanned the globe and
headed into outer space;
the gravity-defying stunt
sequences; the rocket
belts, car-submarines and
other gadgets; the megalomaniacal villains and their
sadistic henchmen — all
quickly became part of the
Bond brand.
So did the theme songs,
many of them performed
by the biggest artists of
the day, from Paul McCartney (“Live and Let Die”)
to Madonna (“Die Another Day”).
And, of course, there
were the “Bond girls,”
characters who are victims
or villains but always fatefully — and often fatally —
attracted to 007. Bond’s
scantily clad female companions have long provided ammunition for critics, who accuse the films of
sexism, though others argue that the films offer eyecandy for everyone: Ursula
Andress in a bikini, but also Daniel Craig in his tight
blue swim trunks.
Agent 007 is in pretty
good shape for 50. Will he
last another half century?
Rye, the magazine editor, thinks so.
“Bond, like diamonds, is
forever,” he said.

New Carlisle celebrates its local flying tradition this weekend
during the Heritage of Flight Festival and Parade.
The festival kicks off at 4 p.m.
today with a cruise-in, and Mike
Lowrey, president of the festival committee, said there will
be about 800 cars participating.
“Friday night, if the weather is
good, we’ll have the fourth largest cruise-in in Ohio,” said Lowrey.
“And this year we’re having
some craft vendors open up so
there’s something for the ladies
to do while the men are checking
out the cars.”
Saturday begins with entertainment at 10 a.m., and the Parade
of Planes and Community Parade
starts at 11 a.m.
The parade’s grand marshal is
George Dennewitz, 97, of Medway, who was a pilot
with the Flying Angels, the
original group of pilots from New
Carlisle airport.
Also in the parade will be the
Shriners, Boy Scouts, the Tecumseh football team and 20 or more
planes from the airport.
“The planes are pulled down
the street by antique John Deere
tractors,” said Lowrey. “That is
neat to see.”
New this year is a parachute
jump by Team Fastrax, a professional parachuting troupe. “It
will be around 10:45, right before the community parade,”
said Lowrey. “They will have six
men jump with a giant American
flag.”
“There will also be food and
craft vendors open following the
parade, and the stores have sidewalk sales,” said Lowrey.
“The food is great. Everyone
comes to a festival for the food,
and this won’t disappoint.”
Lowrey says the hot-wing eating contest is popular. For a $5
entry fee, participants see how
many wings they can eat in one
minute. “By the end, they are
covered in red sauce. It’s just
dripping off of them!” said Lowrey.
“Last year we had 40 people
competing. The winners get cash
prizes and trophies. It’s on Saturday at 6 p.m. First place wins
$150 and a trophy, second gets
$100 and a trophy and third wins
a trophy.”
Out of all the activities going
on, Lowrey says it’s the small,
hometown experience that
makes the event special.
“There is so much to do that
is free or inexpensive. There is
something for the whole family.”

You know it’s officially fall
when Young’s Jersey Dairy hosts
its annual Pumpkin Festival.
This weekend marks the annual
event’s 36th year.
Many of us have grown up visiting Young’s, petting and feeding the goats, seeing the cows
being milked and watching the
dairy farm grow into a local destination for family fun. During
the Pumpkin Festival, you can do
all the things Young’s is now famous for, and more.
Dan Young, owner of Young’s
Jersey Dairy, says in addition
to mini-golf, batting cages, ice
cream and farm animals, the fall
festival offers a corn maze for visitors to get lost and then found.
It is, after all, a pumpkin festival, so what about the pumpkins? Young says that one of the
most popular things to do during
the festival is to take the horsedrawn wagon to the pumpkin
patch to find that special pumpkin. “It’s a lot of fun to look
around the field until you find
just the right pumpkin,” said
Young. “You get to enjoy a wagon
ride and get a fresh pumpkin all
at the same time.”
You can also find a pumpkin
already harvested next to the
dairy store. “There are always
several thousand small pumpkins that sell for $2.50 or less,”
said Young. “The larger pumpkins are all individually marked
with a price.”
There’s also a pumpkin
launcher, where you send a
pumpkin flying to try to hit a target and explode your pumpkin
in the process. And from noon to
6 p.m. on both days, youngsters
can try their hands at pumpkin
painting.
The weekend also features
a pumpkin carving contest for
kids on Saturday and for adults
on Sunday. There is a $7 entry
fee, which includes your pumpkin that you take home with you
after the contest. The first-place
winner of each class wins $20,
second place wins $10 and third
place wins $5.
We mustn’t forget the homemade treats, including caramel
apples, pumpkin donut holes
and samples of Young’s own
cheese.
“It’s fall fun for the whole family. “This event is our most popular event of the year,” said
Young.

Sales parties take
advantage of friends
Jeanne Phillips
Dear Abby
Dear Abby: Your column has
been a ixture in my life. Thank
you for the smiles and the tears.
My dilemma: I received yet
another invitation to someone’s
home for a “product party.” In the
past year, I have been considered
a prospective buyer of cookware,
candles, makeup, toys and
vitamins. While I have at times
used all these products, the
invitations to sales parties that
come from friends and sometimes
friends of friends, irritate me.
When I phone to decline, the
hostess invariably says, “Oh, you
don’t have to buy anything.” Of
course that’s not exactly entirely
true because it’s a sales party, and
“guests” are pressured in various
ways to buy the product. People
often buy things they don’t need
or want because they fear they’d
be disloyal to the hostess if they
didn’t.
When I was growing up, my
father said, “You don’t invite
friends to your house to sell them
things.” Maybe Dad was on to
something.
Abby, how should unwanted
invitations be handled? — Irked in
Indiana
Dear Irked: Continue to
decline the invitations. Tell the
hostess you have “a conflict” and
cannot change your plans. (You
don’t have to give any details.)
P.S. To ease your conscience,
your “conflict” can be your plan to
watch your favorite “I Love Lucy”
rerun on TV.
Dear Abby: I’m wondering
what I should do when my
biological father dies. He and my
mother divorced before I was
born. I’ve had little contact with
him, but my older sister and
brother lived with him growing
up and are close to him.
My mother died 20 years ago,
and afterward I tried to get to
know him, but he didn’t want to
know me. He never paid child support. Both he and my mother
remarried. I was fortunate to have
a loving stepfather, and I was very
close to him until his death.
When the time comes, I am
considering not going to my birth
father’s funeral. I have not told my
sister how I feel because she
thinks he is the greatest. I think he
is a dirt ball.
What do you advise, under
these circumstances? — Confused
in Sioux City
Dear Confused: Funerals are
for the living. Go to his funeral
and give your siblings the
emotional support they will need.
I understand why you feel the way
you do, but in this situation, it
would be an act of kindness to
keep your true feelings to
yourself.
Dear Abby: Several years ago,
when I read one of your letters
about pennies from heaven, I
laughed about it to myself. My
sister-in-law had died a few
months earlier and I said, “OK,
Sharyn, if you’re there, send me a
penny from heaven.”
Abby, the next day when I
arrived at work, there on my
keyboard was a perfectly placed
penny. And for weeks afterward I
kept inding more pennies.
Finally I had to say, “OK, Sharyn, I
get it.” And the pennies stopped.
— A Believer Now in Somers,
Conn.
Dear Believer Now: I’m glad
your faith is restored. If you saved
them, have them made into
charms for a bracelet. Every time
you wear it you’ll feel close to the
sister-in-law who’s smiling down
on you.

DILBERT
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have no
interest in making a good impression. You
feel that unless you can wow people, it’s
not worth your time to show up. So you’ll
overdeliver on what you never promised
you’d do in the first place.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Mercury
encourages you to take up space and command attention with your communication
style. You’ll gain the support of authority
figures and the approval of those who see
you as an authority.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You
may feel inclined to reach out and quite
literally touch people. Handshakes and hugs
are healing, especially since you’ve spent so
much energy communicating virtually.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Do
not underestimate the power of your
friendships. As your sign mate President
Woodrow Wilson said, “Friendship is the
only cement that will ever hold the world
together.”
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If love
is a game, this feels like the prize-winning
round. Hand on the buzzer, you hope to
come up with the right answer. Of course,
it’s best not to make your move until you’re
really sure.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your inner
circle will like hearing what you think, but
beyond that, there is little to gain and much
to lose from discussing personal views with
business associates or the general public.
IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: A new
attitude takes hold in you this year. Your
joy will be reflected in an activity in which
you love to immerse yourself. You could
rescue an animal or be someone’s hero in
November. Finances improve in 2013 simply
because you create a budget and stick to
it. An adventure (and a possible relocation)
launches in May. Your lucky numbers are
20, 37, 16, 5 and 43.
BY JAN ELIOT
Yesterday, the sun, Mercury and Saturn
were in Libra. Today, the cosmic dynamic
changes, first with Mercury and then with
Saturn slipping into Scorpio. Saturn’s transit is the more dramatic of the two, having
generational implications. The planet of
responsibility and limits will move slowly
through Scorpio’s transformation spell until
Dec. 23, 2014.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Instead
of seeing the huge task before you as an
overwhelming job, see it as a series of little
jobs, all of which happen to be quite doable
with your current resources.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There will
be some drama. It will take but three days
for the nonsense going on now to get old.
Knowing that you’ll look back on it and think
it’s just ridiculous, you may want to limit
your current investment.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). With the
moon rooting you on, there’s a bubbly
quality to your conversation. Be careful: Effervescence is contagious. Tonight features
a social and culinary destination.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be
attuned to the story behind things. When
the story isn’t being told, you’ll either
speculate as to what it might be, or you’ll
ask gentle questions to try to nudge out the
truth.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may get
the feeling that a boss, client or friend is
sharing incorrect or irrelevant information.
Though the “customer” is not always right,
it’s sometimes necessary to treat them as
if they are.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Jokes
and stories are best shared face to face.
Resist the urge to forward them in email
form because it robs you of the opportunity to work on the social skills that really
matter today: how you present yourself in
person.

‘Hotel Transylvania,’ ‘Looper’
make Sony box office leader
By Amy Kaufman
Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — After its
last two films failed to
resonate with American
moviegoers, Sony Pictures Animation was back
on top at the box office
last weekend with “Hotel
Transylvania.”
The 3-D movie, which
features a Dracula character voiced by Adam
Sandler, debuted with a
robust $43 million, according to an estimate
from the studio. Not only
did that mark the biggest
September opening ever
— not adjusting for inflation — but “Transylvania”
also had the strongest debut of any of Sony’s animated titles.
It was a strong weekend
at the multiplex for the
studio, as the sci-fi thriller “Looper” from Sony’s
TriStar label claimed the
runner-up position with a
solid $21.2 million in ticket sales.
The only new wide release to be greeted with
poor response this weekend was “Won’t Back
Down,” the education
drama starring Viola Davis and Maggie Gyllenhaal
that tanked with $2.7 million.
Sony Pictures Animation’s biggest hit to date
has been “The Smurfs,”
which opened with $35.6
million last year and ultimately raked in $142.6
million domestically
and $421.1 million more
abroad. Although the
movie performed well
enough to warrant a sequel — “The Smurfs 2” is
set to hit theaters next
year — it didn’t do nearly as well as some of the
biggest hits from DreamWorks Animation or Pixar Animation, such as the
“Kung Fu Panda” or “Toy
Story” franchises.
Sony also has struggled
to attract domestic audiences to its titles produced by Britain’s Aardman Animations, including last year’s “The Pirates! Band of Misfits” and
“Arthur Christmas” — so
“Transylvania” is a welcome winner for them.
“Those movies worked
out much better in Eu-
rope than they did in the
States, and ‘Hotel Transylvania’ had more of an
American sensibility,”
said Rory Bruer, Sony’s
distribution president.
“Hotel Transylvania,”
which features celebrity voices such as Kevin
James and Selena Gomez
in addition to Sandler,
was not greeted with especially warm reviews
but was beloved by audiences this weekend.
Those who saw the film —
a 76 percent family audience — assigned it an average grade of A-minus,
said market research firm
CinemaScore.
Meanwhile, the critical darling “Looper” appealed strongly to older
males this weekend, as 49
percent of the audience
were men and 70 percent
were older than 25. That
crowd gave the movie an
average grade of B.
“Looper,” a time-travel film written and directed by Rian Johnson, stars
Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a
younger version of an assassin played by Bruce
Willis.
