U.S. Representative Bob Latta, left, talks with Dan Boomer Bonifas about his concerns Friday during a visit to the Bonifas farm. (Delphos Herald/Nancy Spencer) Herald and Times Bulletin Staff Reports news@delphosherald.com They were joined on the family farm on ConverseRoselm Road by Dans parents, Richard Bunny and Dr. Jane Bonifas. The farm has been in the family for 142 years and six generations of Bonifases. They farm 400 acres and have 200 head of

beef cattle. Latta said he was using August as a work period to get out and talk with those he represents in agriculture. I have 14 counties and I represent the largest number of farmers in the state, he said. To do my job, I have

to talk with the farmers and see what they need. A little less than one percent of the population of Ohio is on a farm and just a little under two percent are in the country and they provide food for the rest of the country and world. If we cant provide our own food, were in trouble. The family farmer is the backbone of this country. Latta himself is no stranger to the farm, having been raised in an agricultural family. His wifes family farms as well. Dan opened the dialogue with Latta by voicing his concern about the recent portrayal of farmers. Im worried about the image we have, he explained. Were getting a bad reputation by what a few do. We raise and have a good, safe product. His mother agreed. This is our livelihood, Dr. Bonifas said. We want to see our farmland reach its potential. We care for the land and try to keep the soil rich and viable. We do what we can every year and its still a gamble. Janet wanted to make sure Latta knows the importance of what he and Congress do. I want him and others in Congress to be aware that

every time they set a policy or pass legislation, it impacts the family farmer, she said. We have a lot invested in this a lot of time and energy. I hate to see them legislate for those few who cause a problem. They should be legislating for everyone. The Bonifases, like most family farms, feel like they are drowning in regulations. There are $1.8 trillion of regulations on businesses, individuals and farmers in this country today, Latta declared. And people wonder why sometimes things get more expensive? You have to hire more people to figure out what the regulations are. Theres a real question about some of these regulations if they are even necessary. And have the regulators seen what those regulations would do out in the real world? I have asked them if they know the impact and they cant tell me. They dont go out there and see what is happening. Theres a disconnect. Latta mentioned the effort 18 months ago at making new safety rules for farms that would have kept farm kids from working on family farms. See LATTA, page 10

FROM THE ARCHIVES

25 Years Ago 1988 When Harold Glen Brooks photographed Baxter Bridge one February morning in 1985, he never thought the photo would win a contest and be included in an album bound for Australia. So he was more than a little surprised when he was notified recently his photo had captured first place in Category A of the Lima-Allen County Community Ambassador Photo Contest. His winning print will be included in an album community ambassador Kim White will present to her host family in Australia. Delphos Fraternal Order of Eagles Auxiliary presented a gift of $200 to the Delphos Public Library for its services to the elderly. Taking part in the presentation were Helen Gasser, president of the auxiliary; Mary King, trustee; Nancy Mericle, library director; and Doris Keller, junior past madam president of the auxiliary. Larry W. Deitering, son of Larry and Diane Deitering of Delphos, has been named to the deans list for the second semester at St. Francis College, Fort Wayne. He achieved a 4.0 grade point average. Deitering is a graduate of St. Johns High School. 50 Years Ago 1963 The Gospel Mariners Quartet will appear Saturday night at Delphos Evangelic United Brethren Church, according to the Rev. Walter Marks, pastor. Ned Williman, baritone member of the group, is the son-in-law of Rev. and Mrs. Information submitted

Marks and has written many of the songs the quartet sings. Peppers and cabbage are grown in the tri-counties primarily for home use and sale at roadside stands. But last week two extension service representatives looked over experimental fields grown for St. Marys Foods, Inc., and decided peppers and cabbage show promise as a commercial project. The group toured the farms of Al Metzger, northeast of Delphos; Oscar Hempfling, southeast of the city; and Norbert Niemeyer and Karl Krendl, who both farm south of Delphos. Guest speakers at the weekly Rotary luncheon meeting Wednesday at NuMaudes Restaurant were Irvin Hanf, Service Director for the city of Delphos, and Councilman George Grothous. Both spoke in regards to the tubing of the canal for the purpose of creating off-street parking. 75 Years Ago 1938 Further plans for the annual K of C picnic to be held Sunday were made at a regular meeting of the local council held in the K of C rooms Tuesday evening. The picnic for members of the local council and their families will be held at P. A. Warneckes grove, east of this city, beginning at 2:45 p.m. Sunday. In the event of rain, the outing will be held at Leo Germans place east of Delphos. The Delphos senior league is now without the services of two regular teams. Millers Opticians, one of the favorite kittenball teams here for a number of years, has disbanded. Loetz Market has also dropped from the schedule. Russell Judkins, manager of the league play in Delphos, stated that all league games on the Miller and Loetz schedule will be forfeited to the opposing team as the games appear on the league schedule. Mrs. Don Ford, East Second Street, entertained the members of the Nira Club and three guests at her home Tuesday evening. Her guests were Mrs. Robert Lyle, Mrs. Frank Bowsher and Mrs. Lawrence Lang.

Delores Dolly V. Sheeter

Sheriff asks farmers to inspect corn near intersections

Information submitted VAN WERT Van Wert County Sheriff Thomas M. Riggenbach is seeking assistance from area farmers and landowners to enhance motorists public safety. This is the time of year when cornfields reach their full height and can also hamper visibility at intersections. When the view of approaching traffic is blocked, the results can be serious accidents. Anything which removes sight obstructions, such as trimming the tops of corn stalks down to the level of the ears, helps insure motorist safety. Sheriff Riggenbach asks everyone who farms throughout Van Wert County to inspect intersections where they have corn and remove sight obstructions. This allows all motorists to travel Van Wert County roads with a higher degree of safety.

Delores Dolly V. Sheeter, 85, of Delphos, passed away on Friday afternoon at her residence surrounded by her loving family. Arrangements are pending at the Strayer Funeral Home.

COLLINS, Linda Lea (Fox), 63, of Venedocia, funeral services will be at 5 p.m. today at Harter and Schier Funeral Home, Pastor Thomas Emery officiating. Burial will take place at Venedocia Cemetery at a later date. Visitation will be from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. today at the funeral home.

Canal saves life of A.R. Tabler

BOB HOLDGREVE

STATE/LOCAL

Window to the Past

The canal probably saved the life of A.R. Tabler, fireman, at the Hinde & Dauch paper mill Saturday night when gasoline which he was pouring into the gas tank of his automobile took fire. Tabler had gone into the companys garage, where a car, a Ford sedan, and the companys truck was stored. He started to fill the tank of his car from a 5-gallon can when fumes from the gas took fire from a lantern he had with him. The burning fluid was thrown over his clothing and he saved his life by running to the canal and throwing himself into the water. His right hand was badly burned, the skin of the entire back of the hand being burned. He was taken to the office of a physician for treatment. The fire department was called to the scene of the fire. The machines were moved out and the flames soon extinguished. The upholstering of the sedan was damaged and the machine was otherwise scorched. One tire was burned on the truck and this machine was otherwise scorched. One tire was burned on the truck and this machine also was considerably scorched. The building was not damaged. Delphos Herald, March 23, 1926 To Rehearse For Concert The members of the Delphos Choral society will meet for rehearsal at Jefferson auditorium Tuesday evening. The ladies are requested to meet promptly at 7:30 and the men at 8:00. It is especially requested that all members be present as work for a concert to be given after Easter will be taken up in earnest at this time. Delphos Herald, March 23, 1926 Rubber Roads Said to be Best A plan for widespread promotion of rubber roads in Great Britain has been reported to the Commerce Dept. by its London office. For durability, cleanliness and freedom of vibration, roads made from rubber blocks are said to be unequaled. A British rubber paving block company has been formed, with the idea of selling such roads for special quiet areas, such as surround hospitals, historic buildings and bridges. Delphos Herald, July 20, 1928 Police and Firemen Prefer Comfort to Being, Dressed Up They are certainly fine new uniforms and it does seem too bad that the people of Delphos have no opportunity to see their new service uniforms just now. But at that, you cant exactly blame the members of the police and fire departments for delaying the initiation was indefinitely delayed. The uniforms are of a good grade of material and not at all of the summer variety. Hence, all people who have been suffering from the heat, will appreciate the position of the police and firemen, who, naturally, prefer comfort to being dressed up, in their new uniforms. The new outfits do make a pleasing appearance of the police and firemen when they get a chance to wear the new clothing, which, in the meantime is reposing in solitary state in the office of Mayor Williams at the city building.

Delphos Herald, July 6, 1935 Gramm Truck Wind in Contest The Gramm truck, manufactured in Delphos, won in a contest against three standard makes of trucks two weeks ago when subjected to a severe test. The trucks were tried out at Batavia, N.Y. for two weeks, hauling sand. Frank Mericle, of Delphos, made the demonstration for the local company.

Two other trucks received one vote each, while the fourth received none. The Gramm truck was purchased and is now in service there. Delphos Herald, Sept. 7, 1926 Slippery Pavement causes Accident with Delphos and Lima cars A slippery pavement was the cause of an automobile accident in which several Delphos people were involved Friday evening. Ralph Brickner, driving a Maxwell coach and accompanied by Miss Helen Schosker, Mrs. Wm. Diller, Mrs. A.S. Brenneman and Arthur Diller, was returning to Delphos from Lima. A Chevrolet coach ahead of his car slowed down suddenly and Mr. Brickner applied his brakes. The car skidded on the wet pavement, turned sideways on the road and was struck by an Essex coach, driven by H.C. Ross, Lima. The Ross car was thrown into the ditch and turned over on the side. It was badly damaged. Ross was not injured. Miss Schosker was thrown from the car to the pavement and had a number of scratches and bruises but was not otherwise injured. The other occupants of the Delphos car escaped injury. The frame of the Maxwell was bent as were the fenders, and the body was somewhat sprung. The accident happened about one mile east of Elida. Delphos Herald, Dec. 1928 Shooting at Threshing Site As a result of a threshing dispute in which Winifred Williams was shot and killed at the Green farm, near Bluffton, one week ago last Saturday, three indictments for murder in the first degree were returned by a special jury in Hancock County court at Findlay. The indicated men are, Homer Green and his two sons, Merritt, 26 and Lehr, 20. On account of feeling against the accused men and threatened mob violence they are now being held in a secret jail. The slaying of Winifred Williams, and the shooting of his father took place on the Green farm a week ago. It culminated a grudge between the two families which existed from the time Green leased his farm to Edgar Hartman on a grain share basis. Homer www.edwardjones.com Green said that he had rented his farm to the tenant with the understanding that he was to have the threshing right, when harvest came.

He later learned that Bart Williams and his son were given the threshing rights on the farm. The shooting took place when the Williams threshing outfit was driven to the Green farm. Winifred Williams was instantly killed and Bart Williams, the father, was wounded, when a shotgun in the hands of Merritt Green was discharged. Delphos Herald, Sept. 7, 1926 Will Receive War Equipment Assurance that Delphos will receive a number of World War (one) trophies has been given in a letter to John Wahmhoff curator of the local museum, written by Earl Fisher, former Delphos resident, who is acting under the direction of the adjutant general in the distribution of the war materials. The letter from Mr. Fisher asked as to whether the application for the materials has the approval of the local Legion post. He states that it has been the policy to take care of all Legion applications first but that no such application has been received from the Delphos Legion. This matter will come before the meeting of the Legion here next week and it is likely that it will receive the approval of this organization. A formal application blank was entered with the letter from Mr. Fisher and this will be filled out and sent in by Mr. Wahmhoff as soon as the Legion has given its approval. Mr. Fisher states that the allotment which will be sent to Delphos includes: a machine gun, 10 rifles, 10 bayonets, 2 canteens, 2 sabres, 1 cartridge case and 2 helmets. These were all taken during the war and will make an interesting addition to the museum. It is housed in the basement of the library building and is carefully arranged and classified. It is open each week at least once. It is frequently visited by classes from the local public and parochial schools and on these occasions, Mr. Wahmhoff gives interesting explanations of the various exhibits. Delphos Herald, Sept. 9, 1926 Notice Eagles Picnic at Fishers Grove, 2 1/2 miles east of Ft. Jennings, Sunday, Sept. 14. All members and their families are urged to attend. Bring your friends.

Ohios Dragons and Damsels set for September

Information submitted LIMA Tri-Moraine Audubon Society and the Johnny Appleseed Metropolitan Park District will feature Ohios Dragons & Damsels at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 3 in the meeting room of OSU Limas Visitor and Student Services Center, 3900 Campus Drive. Take the Mumaugh Road entrance to the campus. Its the first building to your left (first left turn). The program is free and open to the public. Dragonflies and damselflies are fascinating insects. The adults are ravenous predators that fly at speeds up to 35 mph. The larvae are dependent upon clean waters, making them important indicators of water quality. Robert C. Glotzhober, retired senior curator of natural history at the Ohio Historial Society, finds almost any area of natural history of interest and enjoys sharing his enthusiasm for the wonders of nature with groups. In 2008, he was awarded the Wildlife Diversity Conservation Award by the Ohio Division of Wildlife for his work with dragonflies and damselflies in Ohio.

In 2011, he was given the Distinguished Professional Interpreter Award by the Great Lakes Region of the National Association for Interpretation. The stars and starlets of the program are still flying in good numbers and those who attend the meeting are invited to visit one of the districts parks to make observations and build upon what they learn at the presentation. At 1 p.m. Sept. 21, the Allen County Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalist group, Johnny Appleseed Metropolitan Park District (JAMPD) and Tri-Moraine Audubon Society will host a Fungi Hike at Kendrick Woods located west of Lima, half a mile north of SR 81, on Defiance Trail.

A lie has no leg, but a scandal has wings. Thomas Fuller, English clergyman (1608-1661)

Actions speak louder

Bullying. Weve all met or known one and some of us share their tendencies. They seldom act alone and are seldom challenged. They usually have their own entourage of friends who are either too scared to go against them or just glad its someone else being picked on and not them. Weve all seen the effect of bullies. Here are just two examples of extreme cases of when those being bullied finally pushed back: April 20, 1999, Littleton, Colo. 14 students (including killers) and one teacher killed, 23 others wounded at Columbine High School in the nations deadliest school shooting. Eric Harris, 18, and Dylan Klebold, 17, had plotted for a year to kill at least 500 and blow up their school. At the end of their hour-long rampage, they turned their guns on themselves. Klebold and Harris were both intelligent, came from solid homes with two parents and had older brothers who were three years their senior. When the two boys entered high school, they found it difficult to fit into any of the cliques. As is too common in high school, the boys found themselves frequently picked on by athletes and other students. April 28, 1999, Taber, Alberta, Canada

On the Other hand

One student killed, one wounded at W. R. Myers High School in first fatal high school shooting in Canada in 20 years. The suspect, a 14-year-old boy, had dropped out of school after he was severely ostracized by his classmates. The list goes on and on. Bullying is not something kids need to get over or tough out. Bullying is something that needs to be stopped. Its not a right of passage or a trial by fire. Its mean, hurtful and can have lasting effects on the victims. Teens who are already struggling with the crushing burdens of growing up are forced to survive. It can become so bad students refuse to go to school or in some cases, come to school prepared to make it stop. All I know is, doing nothing shouldnt be an option. Inaction equals approval.

How Washington is impeding the economic recovery

BY U.S. SENATOR ROB PORTMAN

The meaning of Hillary

WASHINGTON Three years out and youd think the deed was done: Madame President Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton. Shes everywhere these days because: (a) Its August; (b) Reporters are bored with President Obama; (c) Reporters are bored with Joe Biden; (d) Clintons are never boring. Correct. Op-ed columns are filled with advice about what Hillary needs to do. She needs a narrative. A message. It cant be that shes a Clinton or a woman. It has to be What? Heres a thought: She can save the world. Yes, all right, perhaps a trifle hyperbolic, but hear me out. And keep in mind that this works only as a long game. We may not live to see salvation but one has to start somewhere. Thus far, invasions, bunker-busting megabombs and killer drones seem not to be having the desired effect. Lets begin with a working (and provable) premise: Women, if allowed to be fully equal to men, will bring peace to the planet. This is not so far-fetched a notion. One, men have been at it for thousands of years, resulting in millions and millions of corpses. Two, countries where women are most oppressed and abused are also the least stable. Three, as women become more empowered, especially financially, countries become more stable. When women have money, they can feed their families, get health care, educate their children, start businesses and so on. The ripple effect is stronger families, stronger communities, and ultimately saner nations. This fact, reinforced by numerous economic studies, has not escaped the attention of corporate America, which is investing heavily to reach women in developing coun-

Point of View
tries. As Muhtar Kent, the CEO of Coca-Cola, put it: Women are already the most dynamic and fastest-growing economic force in the world today. What does this have to do with Hillary? Quite a bit. Rewinding the tape to 1995 at the U.N. Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, then-first lady Hillary Clinton empowered women as never before with just a few words: Human rights are womens rights and womens rights are human rights, once and for all. Imagine that. Well, of course, we can imagine that. Our Founding Fathers created the instruments to codify this concept, even if it took a while to imprint on our psyches and to be reflected in our laws. But elsewhere, in places where women are tortured, abused, sold into slavery and disfigured, all to the glory of men, it was a trumpet blast from heavens gate that caused the earth to tremble: Women are human beings, too. How do you say wow in Lingala? At the time, it was a revolutionary statement and helps explain why Hillary is one of the most recognized and revered individuals in the world. While Americans obsess about Hillarys hair and married life, others have been studying her for inspiration. To millions, she is a role model and a warrior for womens right to self-determination. As secretary of state, she continued the work of her predecessors, Condoleezza Rice and Madeleine Albright,

who first insisted that womens rights be part of our foreign policy, and then pushed further. Under Hillarys watch, Obama made permanent the Office of Global Womens Issues and appointed longtime Hillary colleague Melanne Verveer as ambassador-at-large. These strides in soft diplomacy may get less ink than, say, John Kerrys progress toward Middle East peace talks, but they are no less important in the longer term. Far newsier than yet another round of peace talks, necessary though they be, are the implications of the global explosion in womens economic and, therefore, political power. Whether one likes or dislikes Hillary, few dispute that she has matured in her public role. Her resume can be topped by few and the symbolic power of electing a woman president especially this woman cant be overestimated. Many doubtless shudder at the prospect of Hillary Clinton as the most powerful person in the world, but weve done worse. For what its worth, many in the Bush White House said privately they hoped Hillary would win because they felt she was the better prepared to handle international challenges. Whatever transpires during the next three years, we can be sure the worlds women are watching closely. In 2007 when I traveled through the Middle East with then-first lady Laura Bush, every woman I met was riveted by the U.S. presidential election and wanted to talk about only this: Will Hillary win? In 2008, it seemed possible. In 2016, barring a Benghazi surprise, it seems probable. Kathleen Parkers email address is kathleenparker@ washpost.com.

Abortion coverage for Congress under health law?

By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR Associated Press WASHINGTON The politics of the abortion debate are always tricky for lawmakers. They may soon get personal. An attempt to fix a problem with the national health care law has created a situation in which members of Congress and their staffers could gain access to abortion coverage. Thats a benefit currently denied to them and to all federal employees who get health insurance through the governments plan. Abortion opponents say the Obama administration needs to fix the congressional exception; abortion rights supporters say such concerns are overblown. The abortion complication is another headache for the administration as it tries to shoehorn members of Congress and certain staffers into insurance markets coming later this year under President Barack Obamas health care overhaul. An amendment by Iowa Republican Sen. Charles Grassley who opposes Obamacare and abortion requires lawmakers and their personal staff to get private coverage through the same markets that uninsured Americans will use. Last week, the Office of Personnel Management said the government would keep paying its share of premiums for lawmakers and affected staffers who must leave the federal employee health care system by Jan. 1. That eased a major anxiety for several thousand staffers accustomed to getting the same benefits as other federal employees.

But the proposed regulation did not explicitly address abortion coverage. Under the health care law, insurance plans in the new markets may cover abortion unless a state passes a law prohibiting them from doing so. Plans offering coverage for abortion, however, may not use federal funds to pay for it. Federal tax credits to help the uninsured afford coverage must be kept apart from premiums collected for abortion coverage. Abortion opponents say the regulation would circumvent a longstanding law that bars the use of taxpayer funds for administrative expenses in connection with any health plan under the federal employees health benefits program which provides any benefits or coverage for abortions. Unlike many private corporate plans, federal employee plans only cover abortions in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother. See ABORTION, page 10

Parcel Post celebrates 100 years

The more you learn about todays post office, the more difficult it seems to follow all the rules. Today, because of automation, there are rules for shape, sizes, weights, thickness and readability. If you look at the mail you receive, most pieces already have a barcode printed right above your address. These rules have had to evolve as the machinery has become more sophisticated and more and more mail is handled by automation Its quite amazing how the handling of mail has changed from the old Post Office Department to the modern day United States Postal Service. For one, there were some very interesting rules that Postmasters were required to follow. Those of you over the age of 50 might recall that if you sent a parcel and you also wanted to send a letter in or on it, you had to pay separate postage for the letter. The clerk was supposed to ask you what was in the package and if it contained First Class matter. Of course people objected to both the question and the fact that they had to pay additional postage for the letter. The regulation as it reads today states: Parcel Post mail is not sealed against postal inspection. Regardless of physical closure, the mailing of articles at Parcel Post prices constitutes consent by the mailer to postal inspection of the contents. Keep in mind that First Class mail cannot be opened under any circumstances we call that sanctity of the seal. In the early part of the 20th century, there was one group that really pinched pennies and even got a little joy out of beating the establishment. I am referring to college students. During that time frame, you didnt have the modern conveniences of washing machines in dormitories ,and since mail delivery of parcel post was quite swift, it was very common for students to mail their dirty laundry home and get back the clean items in a short time frame. Being cautious about postmasters understanding the true letter of the law, the regulations spelled out exactly what was to be done. It stated that postmasters should be extremely diligent by inspecting packages of dirty laundry for personal letters stuck in amongst the clothes. I assure you I believed in having patrons pay the correct amount of postage, but dig through dirty laundry? I think not. One additional regulation written in those early postal manuals dealt with minors who might be receiving questionable material through post office box service. Remember most people received their mail at the post office. If you need further explanation as to what was questionable think of the items arriving in a plain brown wrapper. Still not sure what it meant? Please note they specifically stated minors. The postmaster was given a directive that if he or she were to discover that minors were indeed receiving this material through the mail, they were required to contact the parents or guardian of the recipient and make them aware of the situation. I dont think that would go very far today. The Post Office is celebrating the 100th anniversary of parcel post this year. In the early 1920s, there was a man named William H. Coltharp who was located in Vernal, Utah. He was interested in building a bank in Vernal and wanted to use bricks made by the Salt Lake Pressed Brick Company in Salt Lake City, Utah. Vernal being more than 120 miles away meant that freight charges for the 80,000 bricks would be four times the actual cost of the brick itself. After becoming familiar with post office operations, the bricks were loaded into crates that could not exceed 50 pounds in weight and mailed from Salt Lake to Vernal. The post office became aware of the situation and stated it is not the intent of the United States Postal Service that buildings be shipped through the mail. But there really wasnt anything to stop them from doing it. The Bank of Vernal was completed and was nicknamed The Parcel Post Bank. The building still exists and is still used as a bank; it now serves as a branch office of Zions Bank and is located on West Main Street in the city of Vernal. Get a load of that smile! Chelsea is a young and beautiful shepherd / rottweiler mix that somehow grew up smaller than either breed. She has a muscular, compact frame and gorgeously square muzzle. Couple that with her eyeliner pattern and abbreviated tail, and you have one impressive pup. Chelsea loves fetching toys and relishes human contact. Willie is a 2-year-old tabby that has a unique pattern and is addicted to watching the world outside. Willie was caught in a trap and found with several puncture wounds from being attacked by other cats. Luckily, after being held for 90 days, he tested negative for any diseases and now can be adopted. Willie is an incredibly nice and docile cat with an old soul.

Jays get first live work on gridiron

By JIM METCALFE Staff Writer jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Football coaches use the first scrimmage of any season as the first chance to really see what their guys can do against someone other than a familiar jersey. For St. Johns coach Todd Schulte, the Blue Jays scrimmage versus Van Buren Friday night at Stadium Park was also a chance to maybe answer some questions entering the 2013 regular season in two weeks. I really did not know what to expect from our guys coming into this scrimmage. I had a lot of questions coming in as to how wed compete, he explained. We competed well, so that was good to see. Weve been battling some injuries during the pre-season and have had to move people around; weve had to get some younger guys in there or different guys than we expected. It is what is. After the junior varsity teams tied 0-0 after two series each of 10 plays (the Black Knights scored on two touchdown tosses when they went six plays from the Jays 15), the varsity took the field. Tyler Jettinghoff scored on a 25-yard touchdown sojourn on the final play of the Jays first series of 10 plays. Each team had two series. When it went to more situational activity, such as starting from the opponents 35, Jettinghoff tacked on a 7-yard run.

St. Johns offensive linemen Jaret Jackson (55), Spencer Ginter and Wes Buettner go up against the Van Buren front wall Friday night at Stadium Park. (Delphos Herald/Dena Martz) Starting at the opponents 15 saw St. Johns Mitchell MacLennan score on a 14-yard run, Andy May grabbing a 15-yard scoring toss from Nick Martz and Jettinghoff adding a 15-yard scoring run. Andy May added all the extra points (unrushed) and a 20-yard field goal. The Knights then retaliated with a 15-yard TD pass, a 2-yard scoring run and another 12-yard scoring toss. In game situation, Jettinghoff finished off the Jays first series on play five with an 18-yarder. The Knights countered with a 4-yard run on their 10th play. Ive coached long enough our coaches have done this long enough that you see things youve always seen, that youve done before, Schulte added. Its normal to see things you did well and what you didnt do well. Weve got a lot to work on but thats what you find out in your first live action like this. The Jays will host Celina 5:30 p.m. Thursday (instead of Friday) to finish pre-season preparations.

Europe builds a lead on American soil

Associated Press from the hole. Part of the problem we had with it was the rules official lasered the flag and made it public information. So he gave them a number, Lewis said. That was a moot point, however, when Ciganda eventually dropped from an entirely different spot. She hit her fourth shot just off the green and holed a 15-foot putt right when it looked as if the Americans would take the lead. The explanation was about as bad as the ruling, I thought, Lewis added. I dont think it was correct. It took way too long. It killed the momentum of our match. It killed the momentum of the matches behind us and its just not what you want the rules officials to ever do. It was a tough day for Lewis, coming off a Womens British Open title at St. Andrews.

OHIO DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF WILDLIFE Weekly Fish Ohio Fishing Report! CENTRAL OHIO Kiser Lake (Champaign County) This 394-acre lake is perfect for a quiet day on the water since no motors are allowed. The lake has a good population of largemouth bass; try plastics, top-water baits and crankbaits along the lily pads or cover on the north side of the lake. Crappie will become more active as the water cools this fall; fish with minnows in the old creek channel, around woody cover, or dip baits in the lily pads. Bluegill are also being taken around aquatic vegetation and cover using wax worms. Kokosing River (Knox County) - Part of Ohios first water trail, this stream provides a good day on the water catching smallmouth bass and rock bass. Smallmouths are active around cover in pools and runs; use small tubes or crankbaits in crawfish or shiner patterns around woody cover and boulders. Rock bass can be caught in the same areas using the same baits. Channel catfish can be caught in deep pools using shrimp, nightcrawlers and prepared baits. NORTHWEST OHIO Wayne Carr Lake (Paulding County) - This 15-acre lake located on CR 11, just 1/2-mile south of CR 424, should be producing nice bluegill and largemouth bass right now. The best fishing for bluegill is usually along the shoreline, using nightcrawlers fished under a slip bobber. For largemouths, try casting nightcrawlers, minnows or plastic worms. There is a public use boat ramp available but boats

PARKER, Colo. Europe took an important step Friday toward winning the Solheim Cup on American soil. Carlota Ciganda of Spain salvaged an unlikely par from a hazard on the par-5 15th hole and kept her and Suzann Pettersen from falling behind. Pettersen won the next hole with a birdie, sending them from 2 down at the turn to a 1-up victory in a pivotal fourballs match that staked Europe to a 5-3 lead. A long day at Colorado Golf Club ended with Stacy Lewis, on the losing end of that match, getting into a heated discussion with an official over the use of a laser by the official to determine the right drop. At one point, Lewis threw her hands in the air. Along with using a laser, Lewis was upset with the length of the chaotic ruling. The laser was used to make sure Cigandas options would be equal distance

are restricted to 10-HP motors. In addition, there is a 10 fish daily limit on bluegill and an 18-inch minimum size limit for bass here. Killdeer Plains Pond #30 (Wyandot County) - This pond is located southeast of Harpster, off TWP Hwy. 125. Just south of the railroad tracks, turn west and follow the gravel lane back to the pond. Largemouth bass should be biting now; try the west bank in the mornings or evenings with weedless soft top-water baits over the weed beds. A jig-and-pig fished along the weed line and in open-water pockets is another effective technique. No ramp is available; however, small boats may be used. There is a 10-HP limit. Wading is also popular along the east and south shores. NORTHEAST OHIO Atwood Lake (Carroll/Tuscarawas counties) - White bass are active this time of year and are easy to catch; watching for surface disturbances or circling birds can reveal the location of feeding schools of these fish, which may then be caught on a variety of small, minnow-imitating baits such as silver shad raps or spoons. Division of Wildlife sampling in the last few years found excellent numbers of white bass from 10-14 inches. Numerous channel catfish are also present, with most 16-plus inches and many exceeding 2 feet long. Catfish are also biting well and can be caught off the bottom near structure such as points, humps and creek channels on a variety of natural baits. Nightcrawlers, cut fish, chicken liver and shrimp can all prove effective.

Rees gets 2nd chance as Notre Dames starting QB

Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. Tommy Rees has seen the highs and lows of being quarterback at Notre Dame the past three years. He won his first four starts as a freshman at Notre Dame Stadium, Yankee Stadium, Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and the Sun Bowl. Last season as a junior, he helped rally the Irish to victories against Purdue, Michigan and Stanford and started in a victory over BYU as Notre Dame ultimately advanced Rees to the national title game. The lowlights? An embarrassing 28-27 loss to Tulsa in 2010 when Rees threw three interception, fumbling the ball on first-and-goal from the 7 in the fourth quarter in a 35-31 loss to Michigan two seasons ago and being pulled at halftime while struggling against Stanford in the 2011 regular-season finale. He was also arrested a year ago after running away from an offcampus party and knocking the wind out of a police officer who caught up to him and then he was booed by the Notre Dame fans moments before entering the game in the fourth quarter against Purdue and leading the Irish to victory. He won the starters job back by default after Everett Golson was suspended for the semester because of academics. But Rees believes hes ready, saying all hes been through has taught him lessons. Its a journey. Ive learned a lot, he said. The past years been pretty crazy. I would never have guessed that coming in here. But you just deal with everything one step at a time and lean

ning-fast greens on the front nine as she and Lizette Salas fell too far behind to catch up in morning foursomes. Lewis played with another U.S. rookie, Lexi Thompson, who twice squandered good birdie chances late in the fourballs. Lewis is 1-5 in the Solheim Cup. Pettersen and Carolina Hedwall led the European charge by winning both their matches. Pettersen, playing in her seventh Solheim Cup, drilled a fairway metal into 20 feet on the 16th hole that set up Beatriz Recari for the eagle putt to take charge in a foursomes match. In the afternoon, it was Pettersens 7-foot birdie putt on the 16th after Thompson three-putted for par that gave Europe the lead. Hedwall was part of what European captain Liselotte Neumann called her Swedish Vikings to lead off the warm, sunny opening session south of Denver. Hedwall and Anna Nordqvist finished the front nine with two birdies to build a 3-up lead and they never let Lewis and Salas any closer.

on the people you care about and care about you. Ive had a great support system throughout it all. The 6-2, 215-pound senior heads into the season as possibly the biggest question mark facing a Notre Dame squad eager to show last years 12-0 regular season wasnt a fluke. Rees showed last season he could come in when Golson was struggling or injured and provide a spark. But can he provide the same consistency when opposing coaches are game-planning against him? He doesnt have Golsons arm strength or running ability. In the only start last season when he played the entire game, Rees was 7-of-16 passing for 117 yards with one interception in a 17-14 victory over BYU, missing seven straight passes and attempting only three overall in the second half. While those numbers arent inspiring, coach Brian Kelly said with Rees at quarterback he knows what to expect. If you use a word, very comfortable starting the season where maybe there was a little anxiety last year not knowing what we were going to get from Everett, he said. Kelly acknowledges the Irish need to score more points after averaging 25.8 points a game last season, ranking 78th in the nation the lowest among BCS teams. But the Irish were only slightly better when Rees was the starter for most of 2011, averaging 29.2 points a game. The last four games Rees has started and played extensively, the Irish havent scored more than 17 points. The biggest knock against Rees as a starter was that he turned the ball over too often with 14 interceptions and five fumbles in 2011. Although Rees performance that season is generally considered disappointing, his 65.5 percent completion rate was the second best in school history, trailing only Jimmy Clausen at 68 percent in 2009. His career completion rate of 64.2 percent is the best in Notre Dame history. His 20.7 completions per game in 2011 rates fourth in school history, while his yards per game of 220.8 that season ranks eighth.

Logano sets track record in qualifying at Michigan

Associated Press BROOKLYN, Mich. On another record-setting day at Michigan International Speedway, Joey Logano raced to one of the fastest qualifying speeds in NASCAR history. Logano won the pole at 203.949 mph Friday in his No. 22 Ford, breaking the track record set by Marcos Ambrose last year. Ambroses mark of 203.241 came on the first Sprint Cup weekend on a newly paved surface at MIS. His record lasted 14 months. Loganos speed was the ninth-highest by a NASCAR pole winner and the fastest since Bill Elliott set the record of 212.809 at Talladega on April 30, 1987. I dont know how fast it is but it feels freaking fast, Logano said. Kurt Busch qualified second and points leader Jimmie Johnson was third. Logano is 16th in the Cup standings and this is his first pole of the year. He could use a good showing this weekend as he tries to make a final push to reach the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Logano is 27 points behind 10th-place Martin Truex Jr. and hasnt won a race this season. But a victory at Michigan could change everything, vaulting him closer to Chase position on points and boosting his chances at a wild card. There are four races left before the Chase. Were 27 points out. That doesnt sound like a lot but the amount of cars that are in between us is a lot, Logano added. Were one bad race from saying, were out. So weve got to make the most out of these four. Its the sixth career pole for the 23-yearold Logano. Hes coming off three consecutive top-10 finishes, although he hasnt won in over a year. Logano finished ninth at Michigan in June. Busch is in 11th place in the standings, so his solid starting position comes at a good time for him. Busch started second in this years earlier race at MIS but finished 35th. Its really neat to overlay exactly what we did here in June, when we were outside pole, and try to improve on that, Busch said. The pace today was just quick. It was just an extreme pace that the qualifying simulations were showing us. I shot for a 35.35 (seconds) in my mind for a lap time and ran a 35.347. I thought it would be good enough for the pole but Logano just hit it perfectly. Despite the high speeds, Busch said his ride was pretty smooth. When your car is good, its very stable, Busch added. When you run 203 mph and youre kicking yourself a little bit like I am for just going in a little too light, thats just because the car was stable. So 203 mph is not a problem. Thats what Dave Ferroni, my PR guy, asked. He said, Is that the fastest youve ever gone around a track in a stock car, average speed-wise? And I said, Unbelievable. At 203 mph it didnt feel like it. Mark Martin qualified fourth and Dale Earnhardt Jr. was seventh. Defending Cup champion Brad Keselowski was ninth. Johnson has never won in 23 Cup races at Michigan. Of course we wanted to be a little bit better but we had a very smooth and clean practice session made some good changes to the car and found speed as the session went on, Johnson said. Came close to getting another pole during qualifying, so all in all just really good. Grand-Am series to make debut at Kansas Speedway KANSAS CITY, Kan. The new road course at Kansas Speedway will get its first real taste of speed this weekend when the Grand-Am series visits the 2.37mile circuit for the first time. Theres a lot riding on tonights race, too. The merger between the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series and the American Le Mans Series announced earlier this year means Kansas Speedway could be left out of a combined schedule next season. More established venues such as Road Atlanta and Daytona are virtually assured of dates, making it more difficult for a newcomer such as Kansas to land a race weekend. The issue is simply math, Kansas Speedway President Pat Warren said. How many races are there going to be on the schedule next year? How many places are they going to go and which tracks may or may not be included? I dont think its a reflection on Kansas Speedway. Its not a reflection on the track or the market and its not a reflection on the long-term. Indeed, even if Kansas Speedway is left off the schedule of the rebranded United SportsCar Racing series next year, Warren told reporters it would aggressively pursue future races. They have to make some decisions for 2014 that are some tough decisions, he added. As they try to figure out how they want to grow the series, what they want to do to bring the two series together, we just dont know where we fit in that picture. Rather than focus on things they cant control, Warren and his team are focusing on what they can: a strong sports car debut that could convince series powerbrokers to stick around. Officials are anticipating a crowd of

about 15,000 and are hopeful for more than 20,000 with good weather for tonights Grand-Am Rolex Series race. The 2-hour, 45-minute race highlights two days of events at Kansas Speedway that also include todays Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge developmental series and two races in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo series. The early feedback from drivers about the surface has been positive. Daytona Prototypes were doing more than 190 mph on the main track before reaching Turn 1, the most demanding on the circuit. The tight left-hander sends cars through an S-curve and down the back straightway before a hairpin turns sends them on the return. They get back on the main track in Turn 2, head down the backstretch and through Turns 3 and 4 to complete a lap. Its a very challenging track, I can tell you, said Max Angelelli, a former Rolex series champion. Its not like you approach a corner, brake, turn, go back on throttle, and thats it. You have two corners that are extremely technical. Angelelli and teammate Jordan Taylor are chasing point leaders Ryan Dalziel and Alex Popow as they enter the 10th stop on the 12-race schedule. Jon Fogarty and Alex Gurney are second in points with familiar names such as Christian Fittipaldi and Scott Pruett also giving chase. Its one of the fastest tracks weve been to, said Oswaldo Negri Jr., who turned some of the quickest laps at Kansas during last years testing session. Its one of the hardest ovals that we have gone to; it is much faster than Homestead or any of the others. There arent many passing zones but the track is fun to drive and we had a good car when we tested there, so I am looking forward to being back. Funny Car points leader Hagan tops qualifying BRAINERD, Minn. Funny Car points leader Matt Hagan topped qualifying Friday in the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals at Brainerd International Raceway. Hagan had a run of 4.044 seconds at 315.34 mph in his Dodge Charger. He has four event victories this year. This whole year has been phenomenal, Hagan said. Were going to keep working hard. Dickie (Venables, crew chief) put a great horse under me and Im riding it. We have a consistent car and it shows on the track and in the points. Clay Millican led the Top Fuel field and Vincent Nobile topped Pro Stock qualifying. Millican had a 3.773 at 326.63 and Nobile finished in 6.580 at 209.43.

Browns rookie LB Mingo still in hospital

Associated Press CLEVELAND The speedy linebacker is still in the hospital. The change-of-pace running back needs surgery on his broken leg. The starting right guard will miss part of the regular season. Following an impressive win, the Browns were hurting. Browns rookie outside linebacker Barkevious Mingo remained at The Cleveland Clinic on Friday, a day after suffering a bruised lung in the first half of an exhibition win against Detroit. Mingo, the No. 6 overall pick in this years draft, will spend a second night in the hospital, where he was taken before the end of the Browns 24-6 victory over the Lions. Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said the team doesnt know how Mingo sustained the injury. We looked at the tape, Chudzinski said Friday. There wasnt a big hit that you could see. Obviously he had a number of plays with some contact but it was hard to determine which hit it was. Also, Chudzinski announced running back Dion Lewis will need surgery to repair his broken leg. Its possible the versatile Lewis could be placed on injured reserve and lost for the season. Chudzinski told reporters the 6-foot, 240-pound Mingo was having trouble breathing before he left the field and was eventually transported by ambulance to the hospital, noting doctors are being cautious with the 22-year-old former LSU star.

West Branch Lake (Portage County) - This site offers a variety of quality angling opportunities. Muskellunge have been biting periodically; these large fish are suspended over deep water and may be caught trolling large (6- to 10-inch) medium-running crankbaits in baitfish patterns. Walleye have also been biting in deeper water; jigging with curlytailed grubs or trolling worm harnesses in orange or chartreuse near structure 15-20 feet deep has been productive. Numbers of walleye are fair but most caught will be more than 15 inches, with a good proportion more than 20 inches. Largemouth bass are being caught in weedbeds from 5-10 feet deep; Texasrigged 6- to 8-inch plastic worms in dark colors and white or green pumpkincolored soft plastic jerkbaits have begun to produce fish. SOUTHEAST OHIO Burr Oak Lake (Athens/Morgan counties) - Sunfish can generally be found this time of year in most places using nightcrawlers and wax worms fished under a bobber. In past years, good catches of largemouth bass have been reported by anglers fishing in the early morning near woody structure and also by the dam; try using top-water lures and crankbaits. Ross Lake (Ross County) - The fishing pressure for channel catfish at this 127-acre lake is generally low, so despite the heat, you can still reel in fish; try fishing tight-line from shore using nightcrawlers or chicken livers. While fishing for largemouth bass is most productive in the spring and fall, if youre up for a little bit of a challenge, they can still be caught in the summer. Picture an imaginary line at the midpoint of the lake between the fishing pier on the east side and the northern-most pier on the west side and you can locate an old submerged road bed; try slowly dragging a Carolina rig with your favorite plastic bait across the road bed and along its sides. Fish are more likely to be feeding in early morning and late evening when the weather is cooler. SOUTHWEST OHIO Cowan Lake (Clinton County) Bluegill are being caught using nightcrawlers or wax worms; there are good fishing opportunities along woody debris shorelines and pier areas. Channel catfish are being caught using chicken livers, cut bait, shrimp and nightcrawlers cast from the pier area; keep the bait off the bottom and about 3-6 feet deep. Anglers should keep in mind that there is plenty of forage for fish this time of the year and can result in lower success while angling, so be patient. Rocky Fork Lake (Highland County) - Bluegill are being taken at 4-8 feet using red/wax worms; look for shoreline areas with woody debris or submerged trees and brush to be most productive. A variety of catfish are being caught using nightcrawlers, shrimp, stink bait, cut bait and chicken livers tight-lined along the bottom in 5- to 10-foot depths. As water temperatures cool down, try for saugeye by trolling crankbaits, casting jigs, or drifting with a night-crawler harness. OHIO RIVER Serpintine Wall, Downtown Cincinnati (Hamilton County) - Anglers are having success catching blue cats in the morning hours; try using chicken breast. Greenup Dam - Hybrid-striped bass and white bass should be moving this

time of year. For hybrids, try cut and live baits off the bottom. For white bass, try top-water lures as well as skipjack, chubs, shiners and cut bait. Early mornings will probably produce the most catches. LAKE ERIE Regulations to Remember: The daily bag limit for walleye on Ohio waters of Lake Erie is 6 fish per angler; minimum size limit is 15 inches. The daily bag limit for yellow perch is 30 fish per angler on all Ohio waters of Lake Erie. The trout and salmon daily bag limit is 5; minimum size limit is 12 inches. The black bass (largemouth and smallmouth) daily bag limit is 5 fish per angler; minimum size limit is 14 inches. Western Basin: Walleye fishing was best north of the Toledo water intake, around West Sister Island, 3 miles north of Crane Creek and north of C can of the Camp Perry range. Trollers have been catching fish on worm harnesses or with divers and spoons; drifters by casting mayfly rigs or weight-forward spinners tipped with worms. Yellow perch fishing was best around B can of the Camp Perry range, north of C can of the Camp Perry range, near the Canadian border south of East Sister Island, east of the Kelleys Island airport and on the dumping grounds east of Marblehead; perch-spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish. Largemouth bass fishing continues to be good in harbors and nearshore areas around Catawba and Marblehead. Central Basin: Walleye fishing has occasionally been good around the weather buoy along the Canadian border, west of Ruggles Reef and around the Huron dumping grounds trolling crankbaits or worm harnesses. Excellent fishing was reported in 68-74 feet of water north of Ashtabula and in 65-74 northwest of Conneaut; anglers are trolling dipsydivers, jet-divers and wire-line with blue, yellow, purple, green and orange spoons. Yellow perch fishing has been good in 46-50 north of Cleveland and in 52 northwest of Fairport Harbor. Excellent fishing was reported in 46-53 northeast of Geneva, in 48-52 north of Ashtabula and in 56-62 northwest of Conneaut; spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish. Shore fishing off the Cleveland area piers has been slow. Smallmouth bass fishing has been good in 10-20 around harbor areas in Cleveland, Fairport Harbor, Geneva, Ashtabula and Conneaut using nightcrawlers, soft craws, leeches and crankbaits. White Bass fishing is picking up with small fish being caught off the short pier in Fairport harbor; best spots to try are East 55th Street and East 72nd Street piers in Cleveland, the long pier in Grand River and the short pier in Fairport Harbor. On the lake, look for gulls feeding on shiners at the surface; the white bass will be below. Anglers are using agitators with jigs and small spoons. The water temperature is 70 degrees off Toledo and 73 degrees off Cleveland, according to the nearshore marine forecast. Anglers are encouraged to always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device while boating.

Sept. 1 kicks off Early Migratory Game Bird hunting seasons COLUMBUS Sept. 1 kicks off the State of Ohios 2013-14 bird hunting seasons for mourning dove, Canada goose, rail, moorhen and snipe. The seasons were approved by the Ohio Wildlife Council. New this year, bag limits for Canada geese and teal have increased and possession limits after the second day of hunting have increased for all migratory game bird species. Ohios dove season is Sept. 1-Oct. 21 and Dec. 15-Jan. 2, 2014, with a daily limit of 15 birds and a possession limit of 45 birds after the second day. Controlled dove hunts will be offered at Fallsville, Rush Run, Spring Valley, Indian Creek and Bott state wildlife areas. Bott Wildlife Area will hold its drawings at the Indian Creek Headquarters. These controlled hunts will take place Sept. 1-2; hunting hours will be noon to sunset. Controlled dove hunts will also be offered at St. Marys Fish Hatchery on Sept. 1-2, 7, 14 and 21. Youths 17 years old and younger will be given priority on Sept. 1-2. Opening day drawings for all of these hunts will take place at noon Aug. 24 at the respective public area headquarters. Drawings for the other hunts

will be held the day of the hunt at noon. Maps and details are available at wildohio.com. Questions about these hunts should be directed to the ODNR Division of Wildlifes District Five office at 937-372-9261. Canada geese may be hunted statewide Sept. 1-15 during the special early season, with a daily limit of five birds and possession limit of 15 birds after the second day. The Mercer Canada Goose Zone will be open during the early Canada goose season. The early teal hunting season is Sept. 7-22 with a daily bag limit of six birds and possession limit of 18 after the second day.

Hunters must obtain a new HIP certification each year. Licenses, permits and stamps are available online at the Wild Ohio Customer Center. Federal duck stamps are available at duckstamp.com. A state wetlands habitat stamp endorsement and a federal duck stamp are not required to hunt doves, rails, moorhens, snipe and woodcock. Only nontoxic shot may be used to hunt waterfowl, rails, moorhens and snipe. Hunting hours are sunrise to sunset. The only exceptions will be on wildlife areas that have specially posted hunting times for doves. The 2013-14 Ohio Hunting and Trapping Regulations and the 2013 Migratory Game Bird Hunting Seasons brochure can be found online at wildohio.com. The 2013 Migratory Game Bird Hunting Seasons brochure will be available by late August at license outlets, ODNR Division of Wildlife district offices or by calling 800-WILDLIFE.

Anytime that theres that kind of injury they just want to make sure everything is OK in terms of his health and breathing and everything else, Chudzinski said. Mingo was on kickoff coverage and the punt return team and he took a few snaps at outside linebacker in the first half before he left the field and went to the locker room, escorted by a team trainer. Mingo has been working with the second-team defense but the Browns expect to him to get significant playing time this season as part of their deep rotation of outside pass rushers. He was one of five Browns players injured in Clevelands second straight win. Lewis broke his left fibula when he was tackled after catching a pass in the third quarter. Lewis, acquired in a trade from Philadelphia in March, has shown flashes of being a perfect complimentary back behind Trent Richardson, who made his exhibition debut against the Lions and rushed for 33 yards in two series. Hes one of the guys that had had an opportunity to show what he could do, really catching our eye, Chudzinski said. Its been a tough week for Clevelands running backs. On Monday, Montario Hardesty dislocated his right thumb and then underwent arthroscopic knee surgery on Thursday. Brandon Jackson will likely move up the depth chart into Lewis spot until the Browns decide their next move.

Shark attack victims rescuer describes ordeal

JENNIFER SINCO KELLEHER Associated Press HONOLULU A woman who lost her arm in a Maui shark attack kept repeating that she was going to die, said the California high school teacher who jumped into the water to save her. As soon as we stand on the beach, we heard this blood-curdling scream, Rick Moore, 57, of Laguna Niguel, Calif., said Friday. We look out and there was blood everywhere in the white water around her. He put on flippers and swam to her, said Moore, who teaches physical education and health at Creekside High School in Irvine, Calif. About 10 feet from her, I saw her floating on her back, with no arm, he said. It was completely severed from her body. The 20-year-old German visitor was snorkeling at Palauea Beach in Makena when the shark bit off her arm Wednesday afternoon. With the bikini-clad womans other arm around his neck, Moore backstroked about 100 yards through strong ocean currents.

NEW YORK (AP) Electric bills have long been take-it-or-leave-it affairs: Pay one rate for all the power you used the month before, no matter when you used it. But some electric companies want to shake-up that rigid business model. They are increasingly offering plans that sound like come-ons from mobile phone companies: Free nights, free weekends and prepaid plans. We are seeing a transformation in the way people buy and use electricity in the U.S., says Steven Murray, president of Direct Energys residential energy programs. The more customized plans are made easier by the growing use of digital meters that wirelessly link electric companies and customers, allowing both to track usage in real time. Digital meters have not only spurred competition, they have also enabled traditional utilities to reduce their costs by encouraging customers to use electricity during off-peak hours, when it

Power companies dangle CIA acknowledges Area 51 free nights and weekends but not UFOs or aliens
is cheaper. Forty-two percent of U.S. electric customers have digital meters, up from less than 5 percent in 2008. In 2015, more than 50 percent will have them, according to Navigant Consulting. This new breed of electric plans comes with risks. Customers can end up paying a lot more for power than they expected. Some plans offer low introductory rates that can quickly skyrocket. Others have high early-termination fees. Some fixed-rate plans are a great deal if power prices rise, but they may seem awfully expensive if prices fall. If customers are careful, though, they can pay less. Dorothea Miller of Sinking Spring, Pa. signed up for a Direct Energy plan that gives her one day of free power every week. She picked Saturday, and now saves as much of her housework as she can until then. She stops short, she says, of letting mountains of dirty laundry or dishes accumulate in anticipation of Saturdays free power. We pretty much run things the way we did before the plan, but now we set our dishwasher to go on after midnight (Friday) and do most of our laundry on Saturday, she says. TXU Energy offers a similar plan to Texas customers that offers free power every night from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m., or free power Saturdays and Sundays, in exchange for a higher rate during other times. Customized plans are most prevalent in the 13 states and Washington, D.C., where regulators have allowed companies to compete to sell electricity. In those states, the number of customers that have signed up with electricity suppliers that offer these types of plans rose to 13.3 million in 2011, from 8.7 million in 2008, according to the most recent numbers from the Compete Coalition, a group that lobbies to expand competitive electricity markets. The plans are also popping up in other states. LAS VEGAS (AP) UFO buffs and believers in alien encounters are celebrating the CIAs clearest acknowledgement yet of the existence of Area 51, the top-secret Cold War test site that has been the subject of elaborate conspiracy theories for decades. The recently declassified documents have set the tinfoil-hat crowd abuzz, though theres no mention in the papers of UFO crashes, blackeyed extraterrestrials or staged moon landings. Audrey Hewins, an Oxford, Maine, woman who runs a support group for people like her who believe they have been contacted by extraterrestrials, said she suspects the CIA is moving closer to disclosing there are space aliens on Earth. Im thinking that theyre probably testing the waters now to see how mad people get about the big lie and cover-up, she said. For a long time, U.S. government officials hesitated to acknowledge even the existence of Area 51. The CIA history released Thursday not only refers to Area 51 by name and describes some of the aviation activities that took place there, but locates the Air Force base on a map, along the dry Groom Lake bed. It also talks about some cool planes, though none of them are saucer-shaped. George Washington Universitys National Security Archive used a public records request to obtain the CIA history of one of Area 51s most secret Cold War projects, the U-2 spy plane program. National Security Archive senior fellow Jeffrey Richelson first reviewed the history in 2002, but all mentions of the countrys most mysterious military base had been redacted. So he requested the history again in 2005, hoping for more information. Sure enough, he received a version a few weeks ago with the mentions of Area 51 restored. The report is unlikely to stop the conspiracy theorists. The 407-page document still contains many redactions, and whos to say those missing sections dont involve little green men? Its not the first time the government has acknowledged the existence of the super-secret, 8,000-square-mile installation. Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush referred to the location near Groom Lake in insisting on continued secrecy, and other government references date to the 1960s. But Richelson, as well as those who are convinced the truth is out there, are taking the document as a sign of loosening secrecy about the governments activities in the Nevada desert. The site is known as Area 51 among UFO aficionados because that was the bases designation on old Nevada test site maps. The CIA history reveals that officials renamed it Paradise Ranch to try to lure skilled workers, who can still be seen over Las Vegas flying to and from the site on unmarked planes. Beginning with the U-2 in the 1950s, the base has been the testing ground for a host of top-secret aircraft, including the SR-71 Blackbird, F-117A stealth fighter and B-2 stealth bomber. Some believe the bases Strangelovian hangars also contain alien vehicles, evidence from the Roswell incident the alleged 1947 crash of a UFO in New Mexico and extraterrestrial corpses. The CIA history mentions an unexpected side effect of the high-flying planes: a tremendous increase in reports of unidentified flying objects. The report notes that the U-2 and Oxcart planes, which flew higher than civilians believed possible, accounted for half of UFO sightings during the 1950s and 60s. A likely story, said Stanton Friedman, a self-described Ufologist from Canada. The notion that the U-2 explains most sightings at that time is utter rot and baloney, he said. Can the U-2 sit still in the sky? Make right-angle turns in the middle of the sky? Take off from nothing? The U-2 cant do any of those things. Even for those who do not believe in UFOs, the mystery surrounding the site situated about 100 miles northwest of Las Vegas, across miles of desert speckled with Joshua trees and sagebrush has been a boon. One Nevada bicycle event company produces an X Rides event that incorporates mountain biking near a certain heavily guarded patch of Nevada desert. Las Vegas minor league baseball team is called the 51s. Small-town restaurants along State Route 375, officially designated the Extraterrestrial Highway, sell souvenir T-shirts to tourists making their way to the boundary of Area 51, which consists of a no-trespassing sign, an armed guard on a hill and a surveillance camera.

seeks Smart Spending: Back-to-school shopping 101 Iraq help from US

NEW YORK (AP) The back-to-school shopping season is kicking into high gear, but stores have been pushing it for a month. Theyre working hard to get parents to spend, spend, spend on notebooks, computers, clothes and other student needs. The National Retail Federation trade group predicts that families with school-age children will spend an average of $634.78 on shoes, clothes, supplies and electronics, with total back-to-school spending expected to reach $72.5 billion. But how do you spend wisely and find the best deals? Here are a few tips from the experts: PRIORITIZE: Even though it is tempting to get all of your shopping done at once, you should go in steps, says Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst with The NPD Group. Buy essentials first, then hold off on anything that is more of a treat than a necessity those sorts of items will most likely be cheaper later. Take advantage of sales as they occur, he says. The longer we get into the season, the more likely products are going to go on sale. Another reason to wait, in terms of clothing especially: the fickleness of teen fashion trends, Cohen says. Buy as much of that as you can in September or after school starts. Theres nothing worse than buying something for your kid and finding out nobody is going to wear it, he says. If green is the color no one is wearing (Continued from page 1) and you bought a green sweater, thats going to sit in the closet, and you wasted a lot of money doing that. DO YOUR HOMEWORK: The deals are out there, but to take advantage, you have to study up. Check out brick-and-mortar stores websites or sites like pricegrabber.com or dealnews.com to compare prices to make sure you dont overpay. Find out when the sales on items you want are. The best deals are on the weekends, Cohen says, but youll have to fight the crowds. Store circulars are also an invaluable resource. But Matt Ong, a senior retail analyst at personal finance site nerdwallet.com, warns not go overboard comparing prices on relatively cheap items. The best strategy is to price compare on some of the larger items, in terms of the right time and right store to shop at. It is difficult to price compare 97-cent erasers, he says. Better to save $10 or $20 on a backpack than to waste gasoline chasing nickels and dimes. Another helpful task before you hit the stores is to hit your childs closet, and make sure youre not buying something they already have. Youd be amazed at how many things are in there, Cohen says. Theres nothing wrong with teaching kids how to be a little bit frugal. CAPITALIZE ON STUDENT DISCOUNTS: Did you know that signing up with a .edu email and the Boeckman Farms and Mercer Landmark in Rockford on Friday. At the Heffelfinger Farms, he was asked about progress on a new Farm Bill in Congress. The efforts to work out a new bill have yielded only slow progress but Latta said he was told by the House Agriculture Committee Chair that the work will continue. Were on a one-year continuing resolution on the old Farm Bill, but we need a new Farm Bill because we want to get rid of things like direct payments; theres $20 billion in cuts there; theres $20 biladdress at Best Buy could get you a $100 off a MacBook or iMac? Or that Amazon offers free twoday shipping for college students? There are a host of ways that students can get discounts, but it takes a little research to uncover. Every retailer differs, said Mark LoCastro, public relations manager for dealnews.com. Check your favorite stores to see If they give student discounts. Even if you dont find anything online, ask in the store. GET YOUR KIDS INVOLVED: One way to make sure youre not going to waste money on something your child doesnt want is to get him or her involved early. First, it can help teach about budgeting and making shopping decisions. Second, he or she will be more invested in the purchases. Some parents have learned it doesnt necessarily pay to buy cheap. Youve got to pay for what kids are going to use and want, Cohen says. TEAM UP WITH OTHER PARENTS: Every child has a list of school supplies, and its easy to wind up over buying if, say, they need four pens that only come in packs of eight. Coordinating with a neighborhood group can not only help cut out buying in excess, but you can also swap items you already have with other families. Creating an email list or a group on social media sites like Facebook is an easy way to coordinate.

It dawned on me I was in danger now, he said. The shark is around me and shes bleeding. I start praying out loud, God, God protect us. She said, Im dying. I know Im going to die. She was starting to lose consciousness, he said. Moores buddy, Nicholas Grisaffi, 61, of Laguna Beach, Calif., stood in neck-high water and took the woman from Moore and carried her limp body out of the water. What was left of her shoulder was in my chest, said Grisaffi, who teaches homeless fourth- and fifth-graders. I had a pure-white rash guard on but there was very little blood on it, an indication of how much blood she lost. The two teachers said they put the woman in a bystanders kayak, using it as a stretcher to bring her up a trail leading to the street. The womans three friends were in shock as Moore performed CPR. Pretty much everybody was out of control except me and Rick, Grisaffi said. If were not there, shes not saved. Nobody did a thing. They just stood there in shock, watching the blood and everything.

Abortion

If it wasnt for the American farmer mobilizing, they would have got that rule pushed on America. Im not sure where wed be in the future trying to keep kids on the farm! Latta exclaimed. Its just absolutely horrendous what comes out of Washington. They write the rules and just say, OK, you guys, just do it. Latta toured the Bonifas farm, petting cattle and chatting about feed and new innovations implemented to keep livestock more comfortable and healthier. (Continued from page 4)

A soybean field ran adjacent to one of the livestock barns and Bonifas was eager to show how good the crop looked this year. Theres a lot of pods on these plants, he said. They look really good. Now we just need them to fill out and fill up with beans. Latta noted the difference between last year and this year and how the crops look. Its good to travel through the countryside and see healthy crops, he said. Latta also visited the Heffelfinger Farms on Greenville Road in Van Wert

lion in cuts on the food and nutrition side, revealed Latta. This Farm Bill, as it was first proposed, only 20 percent will impact agriculture. The other 80 percent is on the food and nutrition side. Its important to keep moving forward. The Farm Bill was combined with food and nutrition legislation back in 1973 to get more support from urban districts. That support has been necessary. Although the farm side used to contain the majority of the attention, now it is the food and nutrition actions which compose most of the bill.

1,600 homes evacuated as Idaho wildfire burns

Under this scheme, (the government) will be paying the administrative costs, said Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., author of the abortion funding ban for federal employee plans. Its a radical deviation and departure from current federal law, and its not for all federal employees, but for a subset: Congress. Us. Smith is calling on the Obama administration to specify that lawmakers and staffers must choose a plan that does not cover abortions. The funding ban, in place since the 1980s, is known as the Smith amendment. The personnel office refused to address the issue on the record. Instead, its media office released a generic statement, saying: Federal law prohibits the use of federal funds to pay for abortion except in the case of rape, incest or when the life of the woman is endangered. All plans available in the marketplaces will comply with the law. Obama, who supports abortion rights, has said previously he does not want his health

care overhaul to change existing laws on abortion. An independent expert on the federal employee plan said abortion opponents appear to have a legitimate question, but the applicable laws are so arcane that its hard to tell whos right. This goes into a legal thicket the complexity of which I cant begin to fathom, said Walton Francis, lead author of an annual guide to federal health benefits. It would take lawyers hours to decipher the interrelationship between these statutes, and they would probably come to different conclusions. Abortion opponents say the longstanding ban on administrative expenses related to abortion coverage precludes the personnel office from dealing with health plans that cover abortion. To comply with the Smith amendment, they would have to advise members and congressional staff that they can only choose plans that do not cover abortions, said Douglas Johnson, legislative director of the

National Right to Life Committee. And, of course, they would have to enforce it. Abortion remains a legal medical procedure in most cases, but its subject to increasing restrictions in conservative-leaning states. So far, 23 states have barred or restricted abortion coverage by plans in the new health insurance markets. But 27 states and Washington, D.C., have not. Under the health care law, every state must have at least one plan that does not cover abortion. Judy Waxman, a leading attorney for the National Womens Law Center, said the outcry from abortion opponents is overblown. In the new insurance markets under Obamas law, states decide whether abortion coverage can be offered, she explained. If its allowed, insurers decide whether they want to offer the coverage. They may not use federal funds to pay for it and must set aside part of the premium collected from enrollees into a separate account to cover abortions. No federal money will go to abortion, she said.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) Sheriff s deputies Friday expanded evacuation orders to 1,600 homes near the Idaho mountain resort community of Sun Valley as a wind-driven wildfire burned its way through sage and pine trees. The evacuation orders for the 100-square-mile Beaver Creek Fire included homes in drainages and foothills west of the towns of Hailey and extending to north of Ketchum in central Idaho. More than 600 state and federal firefighters were working to get the blaze under control and protect homes in the affluent resort region thats a second home to celebrities such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Hanks and Bruce Willis.

WASHINGTON (AP) A resurgence of violence and a renewed threat from al-Qaida have recently revived flagging U.S. interest in Iraq, officials said Friday as Baghdad asked for new help to fight extremists less than two years after it forced American troops to withdraw. Faced with security crises across the Mideast, North Africa and Asia, the White House largely has turned its attention away from Iraq since U.S. forces left in 2011. But the country has been hit with deadly bombings at a rate reminiscent of Iraqs darkest days, stoking new fears of a civil war. More than 1,000 Iraqis were killed in terror-related attacks in July, the deadliest month since 2008. The violence has spurred Baghdad to seek new U.S. aid to curb the threat, said Iraqi Foreign Minister Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari. He said a U.S. assistance package could include a limited number of advisers, intelligence analysis and surveillance assets including lethal drones. There is greater realization in the Iraq government that we should not shy away from coming and asking for some help and assistance, Zebari told reporters Friday in Washington. He described U.S. interest in Iraq after the 2011 troop withdrawal as indifferent, completely but said that seemed to shift as the White House realized al-Qaidas resurrection there. Recently I noticed, and during this visit specifically, there is a renewed interest because of the seriousness of the situation and the challenges, Zebari said. I think that is because of the threat of terrorism, the threat of the renewal of al-Qaida and its affiliates has become a serious, serious concern to the U.S.
