Drug summit
aims to mobilize
area residents
By MIKE FORD
mford@delphosherald.com
From law-enforcement
and drug treatment to DARE
and just say no, the war on
drugs is waged from all sides.
However, drug abuse contin-
ues to plague the nation.
Tri-County communities
are far from exempt, so one
area leader has issued a call
for a conversation he hopes
will lead to community mobi-
lization and change.
Michael Schoenhofer is
the executive director of the
Mental Health and Recovery
Services Board of Allen,
Auglaize and Hardin Counties.
He has organized an Opiates,
Bath Salts, Prescription Drugs
and Community Mobilization
Summit from 8 a.m. to 4
p.m. Sept. 8 at the Lima Civic
Center that is free and open to
the public.
Operation Street Smart
from the Franklin County
Sheriffs Office will deliver a
presentation concerning drug
trends with a PowerPoint
and hands-on interaction.
Facilitated conversation will
take place in small groups by
those who attend.
Schoenhofer plans for the
event to be more than conver-
sation and education.
Our first goal is to engage
a wide variety of as many dif-
ferent people in our commu-
nities as we can: from those
in the treatment profession
to law enforcement, educa-
tors, parents, church leaders
everybody. We want to
bring everyone together to
talk about what is going on
in our communities in terms
of the whole drug issue, he
said. Our second goal is to
form task forces in each of
our counties to look at what
we can do to change the cul-
ture. There have been pockets
of work done on this in the
past but we havent come
together as a collective whole
and say this is so important to
us that well invest the time
and effort to think about it.
Changing the culture will take
time and it will also take the
whole community. What each
one comes up with will be a
little different but the people
of Delphos, for example, will
Once the summit
is over, the goal is
to have meetings
in each commu-
nity for people to
go to and begin
thinking through
what they want to
do in their com-
munity. ...

Motor Madness Weekend smokin
A crowd gathered in front of St. Joseph Catholic Church to watch area muscle car drivers
burn rubber in the roadway and fill the air with smoke and the smell of balding tires during the
first evening of Motor Madness Weekend in Fort Jennings. Events continue today with a lawn
mower and golf cart run at noon. At the same time, a NASCAR RC race track will open. Lawn
mower hot laps and time trials begin at 6:30 p.m., with races an hour later.
3 die in Pittsburgh
flash flooding;
cars submerged
PITTSBURGH (AP) Three people died
in a flash flood on Friday after heavy rains sub-
merged cars in Pittsburgh and authorities said
they were searching for other possible victims.
Numerous vehicles were submerged in the
area around Washington Boulevard, which runs
parallel to the Allegheny River in the citys
Highland Park neighborhood, after thunder-
storms dropped up to 3 inches of rain in an
hour, the National Weather Service reported.
Rescue crews used inflatable boats to reach
other stranded drivers, some of whom say that
the waters near the city zoo were 6 feet deep.
KDKA-TV reported that the three victims
were found in the same minivan. Emergency
officials said a fourth person was missing,
according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Some drivers had to swim to safety from
their cars. Rhodearland Bob Bailey, 79, of
Penn Hills, was rescued from the roof of his
car.
I can swim a little bit and was looking
at a tree branch, Bailey told the Pittsburgh
Tribune-Review. I heard one woman yelling
for help, but the water was coming down so
fast, I couldnt see. ... Ive never seen nothing
like this in my life. Lord have mercy.
Tara Howes, 34, of Gibsonia, told the news-
paper that manhole covers started popping up
and it looked like the road exploded and the
waters came up really fast. I saw people swim-
ming on the sides of the road. It was pretty
scary.
The flash floods hit an area that experienced
serious flooding last month. Claudia Gallagher,
55, of West Mifflin, was driving north on
Washington Boulevard at the height of rainfall
and tried to get off the road as the water rose.
We tried to drive up onto the curb, but
the water had other ideas, she told the Post-
Gazette.
Her car began to float, and she opened her
window and climbed onto the roof, getting her
foot caught in the process. Many other drivers
nearby were sitting atop their cars, too, she
said.
The floodwaters had receded by early eve-
ning, leaving behind stranded cars and roads
caked in mud.
Earlier Friday, another storm caused power
outages that left most of the University of
Pittsburgh without electricity.
Flights at Pittsburgh International Airport
were grounded because of lightning just after 3
p.m., said spokeswoman JoAnn Jenny.
Two hospitals operated on emergency power
after rains flooded a substation in the citys
Oakland neighborhood.
Burger King Corp. dethrones The King
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP)
The King is dead, but the burger
lives on.
Burger King Corp. on Friday
said it is retiring The King mas-
cot, a man with an oversized plas-
tic head and creepy smile who in
recent years has been shown in ads
peeping into peoples windows and
popping up next to them in bed.
The move is an effort by
the struggling fast food chain to
boost slumping sales by focusing
its marketing on the freshness of
its food rather than the funny-
factor of its ads. Its rolling out
a new campaign on today sans
The King to tout its fresh ingre-
dients and new products like its
California Whopper, which has
guacamole.
The new focus is a departure
for Burger King, which long has
targeted its ads to male teens who
like to chomp its chargrilled burg-
ers and gulp its milkshakes. The
economic downturn has battered
its core customer young males
have been particularly hard hit
by unemployment and Burger
King is looking to boost declining
sales by appealing to the mothers,
families and others that rivals like
McDonalds Corp. have success-
fully courted.
The new focus comes as Burger
King attempts to regain its edge.
While competitors have grown by
updating their offerings, Burger
King largely stuck to its menu of
burgers and fries.
McDonalds, for instance,
has worked to portray itself as a
healthier, hip place to eat, offer-
ing wireless access in restaurants,
updating decor and introducing
smoothies, oatmeal and yogurt
parfaits. And Subway has grown
quickly by emphasizing fresh,
quick and affordable food. Burger
King also has faced competition
from other burger chains, like
Sonic, Carls Jr. and Five Guys
Burgers and Fries.
As a result, Burger King, which
was once in a neck-and-neck com-
petition with McDonalds, has
been eaten up by rivals. In 2010,
the top three U.S. restaurant chains
McDonalds, Subway and
Starbucks all reported strong
revenue gains, while fourth-seat
Burger Kings revenue fell 2.5
percent.
In the second quarter, Burger
Kings net income fell more than
13 percent to $42.8 million. Its
revenue fell 4 percent to $596.2
million. During the same quarter,
McDonalds profit rose 15 percent
to $1.4 billion and its revenue rise
16 percent to $6.9 billion.

Although the calender may not reflect it,
summer is almost over. How do I know this?
Well, for one, the cicada are going crazy.
According to my esteemed colleague, the
earlier you hear them, the earlier the frost is.
Fall may be sooner than we think; Ive been
hearing them buzz for weeks.
I know weve had some pretty steamy
weather in the last months and it couldnt
seem less like school is going to start in two
weeks. It doesnt seem possible. After we cel-
ebrate the Fourth of July, the rest of the sum-
mer seems to evaporate. I couldnt believe it
when I got the first school registration.
Many of my flowers are starting to show
the wear and tear of blooming like crazy for
weeks. The impatiens are looking creepy with
their spindly pale stalks and sparse leaves and
my pale lavender petunias and red and white
begonias have flowered their brains out and
still look good. Thats quite unusual for me; I
dont have a black thumb but its not a bright
green one, either.
We passed on the tomatoes this year. Last
year, the potted tomatoes got that funk that
comes from water splashing up from the dirt
and the ones in the back had a case of the
blight.
We tried to grow tomato plants in those
Topsy Turvy things and failed miserably both
times. The first time, we got one from a friend
and pushed our little tomato plant through
the bottom and filled it with dirt and then my
husband watered it diligently every day. We
found out you really arent supposed to fill it
up with dirt or water them that much and it
quickly drowned and looked like a weed that
had been set on fire.
The second time around, we got one already
well established. It was ginormous. It already
had three tomatoes on it. We thought we had
It made. We were going to show that Topsy
Turvy a thing or two. It only took us four
weeks to kill that one. We did get a couple
tomatoes off of it before its demise. Im not
sure what happened to it. I know at one point
my husband thought I was watering it and I
thought he was.
So this year, we didnt even try. Might be a
cop-out but I am really not concerning myself
with it.
We also put in some new perennials. Im
trying to work it so everything just comes up
on its own and we dont have to worry about
buying plants. Its a good theory. Ill let you
know how it works.
Football practice has been underway. My
neighbor girl is on the Jefferson junior high
team. Shes soft-spoken and cute and isnt
afraid to hit or take one. It cracks me up to talk
to her with her little-girl voice and know she
could probably take me down and make me
say uncle in a second.
Another sure sign of the end of the sum-
mer is Allen and Van Wert county fairs. Allen
started Friday and Van Wert is right around
the corner.
So now is the time. Carpe diem! Take that
weekend trip, get in that last swim. Summers
almost over and times a-wastin. You need to
get in the last hurrah of summer.
New Mexico hero who
saved girl says hes illegal
3 convicted in Cub Scout slayings free
JONESBORO, Ark. (AP)
Three men convicted in
the nightmarish slayings of
three Cub Scouts went free
Friday, nearly two decades
after they were sent to prison
in a case so gruesome it raised
suspicions the children had
been sacrificed in a Satanic
ritual.
Doubts about the evidence
against the trio had persisted
for years and threatened to
force prosecutors to put on a
second trial in 2012.
Instead, the so-called West
Memphis Three were permit-
ted to plead guilty to murder
in exchange for time served,
ending a long-running legal
battle that had raised ques-
tions about DNA and key
witnesses and attracted
support from celebrities such
as Eddie Vedder.
The men entered the
pleas under a legal provision
that allowed them to main-
tain their innocence while
acknowledging that prosecu-
tors had enough evidence to
convict them.
Although I am inno-
cent, this plea is in my best
interest, Jessie Misskelley
said.
Damien Echols had been
on Arkansas death row and
in 1994 came within three
weeks of execution. He
remained defiant Friday,
accusing prosecutors of using
innuendo and faulty evidence
to convict them.
In the event of a new trial,
they knew there would be
more people watching, more
attention on the case, so they
wouldnt be able to pull the
same tricks, Echols said.
Prosecutor Scott Ellington
said it would be practically
impossible to put on a prop-
er trial after 18 years. The
mother of a witness who testi-
fied about Echols confession
has publicly questioned her
daughters truthfulness. And
a crime lab employee who
collected fiber evidence at
two of the defendants homes
has died.
I believe this case is
closed, and there are no
other individuals involved,
Ellington said.
Since the original jury con-
victions, two of the victims
families have joined forces
with the defense, declaring
that the men are innocent, he
added.
The victims families were
notified about the pact ahead
of time but were not asked to
approve it.
Echols said he and the oth-
ers would keep working to
clear their names. The men,
who were teenagers when
they were convicted, have
spent half their lives in pris-
on.
Asked by reporters about
his plans, Jason Baldwin
replied, Live my life the
best I can and enjoy every
moment of it.
Baldwin told reporters he
had been reluctant to plead
guilty to crimes he didnt
commit, but he agreed to
do so to ensure Echols was
spared from death row.
Echols thanked Baldwin
and called his release over-
whelming.
Its not perfect by any
means, he said of the
arrangement. But it at least
brings closure to some areas
and some aspects.
The prosecutor said he
never considered any plea
bargain that would throw out
the verdicts of two juries.
Todays proceeding
allows the defendants the
freedom of speech to say
they are innocent, but the
fact is, they just pled guilty,
Ellington said.
By entering guilty pleas,
the three have lost any right
to file a lawsuit against the
state.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.
(AP) The man who chased
down a suspected child abduc-
tor and saved a 6-year-old girl
from what could have been
a horrible fate was honored
as a hero Friday. But he is
also gaining a new kind of
celebrity: as a poster child of
sorts for immigration rights
in state and national immigra-
tion debates.
Antonio Diaz Chacon, 23,
is married to an American
and has been in the country
for four years. But Chacon
says he abandoned attempts
to get legal residency because
the process was difficult and
expensive.
Diaz Chacon revealed
his immigration status to
Univision this week and con-
firmed to The Associated
Press that he is illegal, prompt-
ing chatter on the Internet and
social networking sites that
his case underscored immi-
grant rights positions in two
ongoing political debates.
Some argue he is an exam-
ple of the kind of immigrant
the federal government will
now largely leave alone. The
Department of Homeland
Security announced Thursday
that deportations would focus
on criminals.
As exceptional as his
story is, said Christina
Parker, a spokeswoman for
Border Network for Human
Rights in El Paso, Texas, it
points to the fact that most
undocumented immigrants
living in the United States
are not criminals. Hes more
than not a criminal now. Hes
a hero.
Diaz Chacons status didnt
play a role in Albuquerques
decision to honor his bravery.
Mayor Richard Berry declared
Friday Antonio Diaz Chacon
Day in Albuquerque and held
an afternoon ceremony where
he presented Diaz Chacon a
Spanish language plaque rec-
ognizing his bravery in jump-
ing in his pickup and chasing
the suspect until he crashed
into a light pole. Diaz Chacon
then rescued the girl as the
driver of the disabled van ran
into the desert. The suspect
was arrested later by police.
Diaz Chacon, with his
wife and two daughters, was
all smiles at the ceremony,
which was also attended by
the officers who eventually
arrested accused kidnapper
Phillip Garcia, 29.
He says he is really happy
and content and theres no
larger words for it, his wife
Martha, who was translat-
ing from Spanish for him,
said. It is a real large hap-
piness.
Asked in a telephone inter-
view with the AP Thursday
what would be the best reward
for his actions, he said he had
already gotten it: a thank you
letter from the little girl.

Ohio to require review
of all executions
By JoANNE VIVIANO
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS The Ohio
prisons department announced
Friday it would require post-
execution reviews of all lethal
injections and a physical eval-
uation of the condemned per-
sons veins three weeks prior
to execution as part of policy
changes made in response to
a federal court judges criti-
cism.
Department spokes-
man Carlo LoParo said the
new procedures are part of
a comprehensive rewriting
of state execution policy that
was filed with U.S. District
Court Judge Gregory Frost.
Frost halted a July execu-
tion, citing haphazard appli-
cation of certain death pen-
alty protocols and calling the
situation an embarrassment.
The new policy requires
two separate reviews. The first
calls for the execution team
to immediately assess each
execution to discuss unusual
events, possible improve-
ments and any discrepancies
in how their actions have
been officially documented.
The second calls for a qual-
ity assurance review and
recommendations by a spe-
cial assistant designated by
the director of the prisons
department. It must include
an evaluation of the execu-
tion team and a review of
documentation, training and
professional qualifications.
The policy says the new
procedures are to be strictly
followed and the warden
or prisons director must be
notified of any reasons for
deviation, with any varia-
tions requiring the directors
approval.
The policy also requires
team members to do an
evaluation of the condemned
inmates veins three weeks
before the scheduled execu-
tion, instead of 24 hours, so
team members can prepare
for any possible contingen-
cies.
On July 8, Frost delayed
the execution of death row
inmate Kenneth Wayne Smith,
which had been scheduled for
July 19. He did not judge
whether Ohios death penalty
itself was constitutional.
Assistant Federal Public
Defender Carol Wright, who
represents Smith, said Friday
that his defense team had only
recently received the new
policy and had no immediate
comment.
The ruling led Gov. John
Kasich to postpone an August
execution to give the state
time to address Frosts con-
cerns. The new policy is to
go into effect Sept. 18, two
days before the states next
scheduled execution.
Weatherization jobs to be cut as funding ends
COLUMBUS (AP)
Hundreds of home-weath-
erization jobs are expect-
ed to be lost in Ohio as
federal stimulus money
runs out for programs
that help low-income and
elderly Ohioans with home
improvements.
The Ohio Association of
Community Action Agencies
told the state this week that
agencies providing services
for the Home Weatherization
Assistance Program expect to
lay off about 700 employees
in the next six months.
The expected layoffs
include crew workers and
contractors working for
weatherization providers
around the state, Philip Cole,
executive director of the
Columbus-based association
said Friday. The jobs are
expected to disappear as the
$267 million in federal stim-
ulus money that Ohio began
receiving in June 2009 runs
out, Cole said.
The money Ohio received
was part of $5 billion allot-
ted for weatherization under
the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act.
More than 32,000 units
including homes and apart-
ments have been weather-
ized statewide since the fed-
eral money became available,
Cole said.
More than 1,000 workers
across the state have been
trained for weatherization-
related tasks, Dave Rinebolt,
executive director and coun-
sel for the Ohio Partners for
Affordable Energy, told the
Dayton Daily News.
The program was aimed
at reducing utility costs by an
average of 30 percent, saving
money for residents and tax-
payers who pay for heating
subsidies for the poor, The
Columbus Dispatch reported.

New ways to give your
kids a competitive edge
(StatePoint) All par-
ents want to give their kids
a competitive edge in school
and in the real world. With
this in mind, many parents
increasingly are turning to
new media technologies to
make sure their children have
the skills to succeed.
While some are concerned
about children accessing
inappropriate content online,
many educators and parents
know that combining tradi-
tional and digital learning
skills is crucial in todays
wired world.
Digital learning lets stu-
dents learn at a pace theyre
comfortable with and enables
teachers to gain insight into
their students achieve-
ments and problems more
quickly and accurately, says
Bethlam Forsa, Executive
Vice President of Content
Development for Houghton
Mifflin Harcourt, a leading
provider of educational solu-
tions and developer of digital
learning tools.
Research made easy
Unlike previous genera-
tions, todays youth has a host
of information at their fin-
gertips, allowing them more
freedom to explore interests
and hobbies, as well as to
learn. But with so much infor-
mation available, its impor-
tant children learn to discern
credible information from
questionable content.
With this in mind, consid-
er exposing children to age-
appropriate websites from
accredited institutions. For
example, the Smithsonian is
making educational research
easier through online resourc-
es like smithsonianeducation.
org.
Adapting classroom
learning
Digital learning can also
make the classroom more fun
and help supplement what
kids read in books and hear
from teachers. For instance,
Houghton Mifflin Harcourts
new iPad app HMH Fuse
combines online help with
in-class learning. Students
can receive feedback on prac-
tice questions, write and save
notes, receive guided instruc-
tion, access video lessons and
more.
The app provides a year-
long Algebra 1 course with
classroom materials and
resources. Its comprehension
tracking tools let teachers
receive real-time feedback on
each student. To learn more,
visit hmheducation.com/fuse.
Gaming can be good
Since the late 1970s, edu-
cators have sought to com-
bine gaming with learning
and todays new technolo-
gies are making this easi-
er. Ironically, some of the
games many parents once
enjoyed, like Where in the
World is Carmen Sandiego
and Oregon Trail, are
also favorites with todays
students. These games let
children improve math and
critical thinking skills while
learning about the world. You

Tips for packing your kids healthful school lunches
(StatePoint) The rush of
getting the kids out the door in
the morning can make pack-
ing a healthful lunch seem like
an impossible burden.
The typical parent will pack
around 200 school lunches
yearly and planning them all
requires some serious nutrition-
al skills. Not only do parents
need to know how to choose
healthful fare, but they need to
know how to pick foods their
kids will actually eat.
Get creative with protein.
Nuts and beans provide more
fiber and less saturated fat than
traditional proteins, like meat,
cheese and eggs. Try making
a bean dip from chickpeas
or pinto beans and pairing it
with crunchy vegetables, like
carrots, celery, bell peppers,
or whole-wheat pita triangles.
Or add texture and sweetness
to low-fat yogurt with a hand-
ful of nuts or granola.
Pack edible ABCs. Fresh
fruits and nuts are a fun way
for kids to get much-needed
vitamins, from A to zinc. For
example, oranges pack a wal-
lop of vitamin C, blueberries
are full of antioxidants and
almonds are rich in vitamin
E, calcium, magnesium and
iron.
Portion control mat-
ters. Little bellies require
smaller portions. While kids
love opening crinkly bags of
chips, the serving size may
be too large and unhealthful.
Instead, look for small portion
packs, like .75-ounce bags of
healthful nut blends, such as
Sahale Snacks Cashews with
Pomegranate or Almonds with
Cranberries. Choose pack-
aged foods made with natural
sweeteners and flavors, like
vanilla, honey and sea salt,
instead of artificial flavors or
high fructose corn syrup.
Drinks are as important
as foods. Once youve gone
to all that trouble to choose
nutritious foods, dont ruin
your efforts by tossing soda
into your childs lunchbox.
Opt for unflavored low-fat
milk, water or 100 percent
fruit juice. Many juice prod-
ucts only have small amounts
of real fruit juice, so read
labels carefully.
Make veggies special.
Add extra flavor and crunch to
salads with apple slices, nuts
and dried cranberries. Or mix
in pre-packaged nut blends or
seasoned nuts. For young chil-
dren, consider blends combin-
ing tree nuts with dried fruit,
like pomegranate. Older kids
might like salads topped with
more flavorful choices, such
as Sahale Snacks Barbecued
Almonds with Mild Chipotle
and Ranch.
Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the conscience of the
whole of humanity.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Russian author (1918-2008).

50 Years Ago 1961
The Optimist Breakfast Club of Delphos is sponsoring
a donkey softball game between Ivan Tucker Fairs Rustic
team and Gip Pohlmans Tom & Lous team on August 23.
The game will be played at the city recreation field, and Fair
is hoping with the help of the donkeys his team will be able to
beat Tom and Lous, something it has failed to accomplish so
far this season.
A new track record of 12.9 seconds was set at the Delphos

the double engines race were: Clark Weadock, slow heat;
Bob Swartz, fast heat; Bob Swartz, first, fast feature; Bob
Rohrbacker, second, fast feature; John Sheeter, first, slow fea-
ture; Gene Bogart, second, slow feature; and Wayne Schultz,
consolation.
Mrs. Louis Scherger entertained the members of the

Window

Past
Noisy demonstrations
while hauling newlyweds
about the streets of the city
are taboo in Delphos in the
future.
The city council at its
meeting Tuesday night,
decided that these demonstra-
tions are degenerating into
the nuisance class.
The city dads requested
that they be stopped at once
and asked the police to take a
hand in the matter if the dem-
onstrations are continued.
The reason for the action
was the frequency with which
the demonstrations have been
staged here in the past several
days.
Each evening now finds
strings of automobiles parad-
ing the streets with newly
married couples holding the
place of honor and bells, auto
horns and other noisemakers
creating a din designed to
attract attention to the bride
and groom
It is the modern version of
the old-fashioned belling,
but the police are of the opin-
ion that is has been carried to
the extreme and the time has
arrived to put a stop to it.

Ft. Wayne Journal-
Gazette Article about Ralph
Westrich
An item that appeared in
that paper Monday will be of
interest to the many friends of
Ralph Westrich formerly of
this city, but now a resident
of Ft. Wayne.
The article was as follows:
Seventeen years ago, when
Ralph (Whitey) Westrich was
a lad in Delphos, Ohio, he
shot and killed a white cat
owned by the chief of police.
Overcome with remorse, he
took the animal to a taxider-
mist and had it stuffed.
For years the stuffed cat
has cluttered up one Westrich
household or another. When
Ralph married, the cat moved
with them to Ft. Wayne. Mrs.
Westrich has had trouble
keeping moths out of Kitty.
She sprayed it regularly.
Once she event sent it to a
dry cleaner.
At their apartment house
at 710 West Wayne Street,
the Westrichs found pigeons
making the usual nuisances
of themselves. In a stroke
of genius, Westrich decided
to make the cat earn its rent.
He placed the tired old thing
out on a ledge under the
cornice and let it go as a
scare-pigeon. The birds took
one look and left for more
friendly quarters. In time the
Westrichs moved, but left the
cat in its crouch up under the
eaves.
Last week a crew of paint-
ers moved on the building.
Scaffolding was erected, and
Gerald Donaldson was the
first man up on the roof. He
raised his head even with
the ledge and let out a wild
yowl. He was face to face
with a glaring cat. That he
didnt lose his balance wasnt
entirely his fault.
Anyone desiring a slightly
weather-worn off white cat
of Ohio lineage can have it
cheap.

Wheat Threshing
Will Begin
The greater share of the
wheat in the country about
Delphos has been cut. The
shocks in the field give the
impression of a bounte-
ous harvest but the farmers
are reporting that smut and
intense heat are damaging the
crop.
Threshing will begin
about the middle of the week
and the toot-toot of the steam
whistle will again remind us
of the days when we love to
go to thrashers and watch
the grain spout at one point
and the stacker building its
mountain of straw. It was a
scene of intense activity and
caught the imagination of the
boy. And what sport it was
to slide down the stack! Did
you every sit down to one of
those old-fashioned threshing
dinners? (R.H. Did sit down
to one of those dinners.) Oh
boy, wasnt that one of the
greatest experiences of your
life? To the boy a threshing
was at its highest and best.
I wonder, though, do
threshing engines, whistle
today as they did in former
years or has whistling gone
out of style with the new
gasoline driving threshing
outfits? Modern invention is
destroying some of the most
pleasing experiences which
can come to a boy. How can a
boy enjoy a ride on the water
tank down to a nearby stream
when no water is needed for
the gas engine which has
replaced the old steam mon-
ster whose blazing furnace
formed another of the great
attractions! Is threshing time
the holiday affair it used to be
or has it become just another
one of the dull grinds of the
workaday world? What about
it boys?

Local Farmer
Injured Monday
Michael Kimmett, 67,
Route 1, Delphos, sustained
a deep scalp laceration and
a right arm injury when he
attempted to stop a tractor as
it began rolling down a hill
as he was waiting to unload
wheat at an elevator, Monday
afternoon.
Seeing his tractor begin-
ning to move, he ran to it
and was attempting to set
the brakes when his arm was
caught in a wheel and he was
thrown under the tractor. It
passed over his head.
He was taken to St. Ritas
hospital, where his condition
was reported as being fair.

Delphos Elevators Busy
Delphos elevators as
well as those in surrounding
towns, continue to be very
busy places these days.
The Equity Elevator was
busy receiving wheat until
around 8:30 Tuesday night
and handled over 90 wagon
loads of wheat, about four
carloads, on that day.
The Delphos Grain and
Milling Company is handling
grain at a rate of a wagon
load every three and a half
minutes and grain was being
received at that elevator up to
11:00 oclock Tuesday night.
The rain of Wednesday
halted the harvest but wheat
was still being brought to the
elevators.

Newlyweds Ordered to Stop Noisy Parades
Window to the Past
Whats wrong with these bleeping people?
NEW YORK Scene:
An elevator in New York
Presbyterian Hospital where
several others and I were
temporary hostages of a
filthy-mouthed woman who
was profanely berating her
male companion. It wasnt
possible to discern whether
he was her mate or her son,
but his attire (baggy draw-
ers) and insolent disposi-
tion seemed to suggest the
latter.
Every other word out of
the womans mouth was
mother------, presumably
a coincidental reference to
any familial relationship.
Finally, she shared with us
bystanders her belief that
said mother------ would not
be welcome in her house
(Hark! Good news at last!)
and that he could very well
seek shelter at his mother-
---ing fathers house. Aha,
family ties established.
At this point, in a varia-
tion of deus ex machina,
the elevator doors opened
and we, the numb majority,
were able to escape our too-
close quarters, but not the
diatribe, which continued
unabated down the hallway,
through the exit and onto the
sidewalk.
A few of us made eye
contact and returned the
stare of recognition com-
mon among hostages. The
understood sentiment is
helpless indignation. What,
really, can one do under
such circumstances?
It was comical in a
way. Seven or eight adults
standing at attention, eyes
forward, pretending that
nothing is amiss or untow-
ard, figuring wed just get
through this and thanking
the stars and the moon that
no children were on board
and that this woman would
not much longer be part of
our lives. Our better sense
instructed us that interfer-
ence would not be rewarded
with contrition. But what if
she had decided to punch
him? Then what?
Her exit and our release
were accepted with silent
gratitude, but I have been
fuming ever since because,
though she was gone, she
didnt really exit our lives.
She managed in those fleet-
ing moments to make a mark,
to alter our lives in some
way. A vile invader, she
made coarse and unlovely a
period of time that was not
her own. What gave her the
right? And what about those
other dozen or so people who
dropped the F-word along
those same hospital corridors
as the hours passed?
I cant claim virginity
in these matters, I should
confess. But the elevator
incident was so profoundly
unpleasant that Ive done a
little soul-searching. How
easy it is to casually let slip
a word without thinking how
it makes others feel. Perhaps
relevant to my sensitivity, I
was in the hospital that day
for the birth of my great-
niece. Theres nothing like
following the intimate mira-
cle of childbirth to make one
wish for a gentler world.
Public profanity is noth-
ing new, of course, but
it inarguably has gotten
worse. It was hilarious (and
shocking) in the 1970s when
comedian George Carlin
poked fun at our cultural
aversion to the seven words
you cant say on television.
His act now can be viewed
as a period piece. We can
say most anything anywhere
now, and we do. Penalties
may arise from behavior
that accompanies foul lan-
guage, but the words them-
selves are constitutionally
protected. As they should
be, I hasten to add. Like
most Americans, Im will-
ing to have my sensibilities
offended rather than surren-
der the freedoms that permit
such offense.
Context is everything,
and (non-obstetric) delivery
matters. I attended a tea not
long ago when the subject
of Tiger Woods came up.
A British woman, in her
refined accent, said: Oh,
hes such an ahs-hoal. I
told her we could use that
word in any circumstance if
only we pronounced it the
way she did. Pinkies extend-
ed, all together now.
Lets just say, the woman
on the elevator had con-
text and delivery issues. Her
verbal fusillade may have
been a random event, but
her actions were neither sin-
gular nor disconnected from
a broader range of cultural
pathologies. Lack of civility
in words bleeds into a lack
of decency in behavior, and
so it goes.
Good behavior is noth-
ing but good manners, sim-
ply consideration of others.
Recently out of vogue, man-
ners get hauled out the way
most people attend church --
at Easter and Christmastime.
But manners arent just
gray-haired pretensions
practiced by smug elites on
special occasions. They are
the daily tithes we willingly
surrender to civilization.
An MF here or an
FU there might not consti-
tute the unraveling of soci-
ety, but each one uttered in
anothers involuntary pres-
ence is a tiny act of violence
against kindness, of which
we surely could use more.

Doctors question
Perrys stem cell
back treatment
He calls it innovative.
Others call it a big risk. In
any case, the stem cell pro-
cedure that Texas Gov. Rick
Perry had last month was an
unusual experiment to fix a
common malady: a bad back.
Perry, the newest GOP
presidential candidate, has
access to the best possible
care and advice. Yet he and
his doctor chose a treatment
beyond mainstream medicine:
He had stem cells taken from
fat in his own body, grown in
a lab and then injected into
his back and his bloodstream
during a July 1 operation to
fuse part of his spine.
The treatment carries
potential risks ranging from
blood clots to infection to
cancer and may even run
afoul of federal rules, doctors
say. At least one patient died
of a clot hours after an infu-
sion of fat-derived stem cells
outside the United States. Its
not clear how much of this
Perry might have known.
His doctor and friend,
orthopedist Dr. Stanley
Jones, could not be reached
for comment despite repeated
requests to the spokeswoman
for his Houston-area hospital.
Jones told the Texas Tribune
that he went to Japan for
a stem cell treatment that
helped his arthritis and that
he had never before tried the
procedure he used on Perry.
He also said it had no side
effects or risks.
However, some top scien-
tists are questioning the safety
and wisdom of Perrys treat-
ment, especially because it
was not part of a clinical trial
in which unproven therapies
are tested in a way that helps
protect patients and advances
medical knowledge.
Perry exercised poor judg-
ment to try it, said Dr. George
Q. Daley, of Childrens
Hospital Boston and the
Harvard Stem Cell Institute.
As a highly influential per-
son of power, Perrys actions
have the unfortunate potential
to push desperate patients into
the clinics of quacks, who
are selling unproven treat-
ments for everything from
Alzheimers to autism.
Daley is past president of
the International Society for
Stem Cell Research, a group
of 3,000 scientists and oth-
ers in the field. He consults
for several biotech companies
and favors stem cell research.
But of Perrys treatment he
said: I would never in a
million years accept for one
of my family members to
undergo this.
On the campaign trail
Thursday in New Hampshire,
Ray Sullivan, Perrys chief
of staff, said: The governor
consulted with his physician
and decided the best course
of action for him. Hes very
pleased with the results of the
surgery, with the rapid recov-
ery and with the procedure
that he had. And he feels like
that is certainly his right to
determine the best course of
treatment for him.
Perrys treatment was
first reported by the Texas
Tribune. The procedure was
done by Jones, who works at
Foundation Surgical Hospital
a private, doctor-owned
orthopedics center in subur-
ban Houston but Perry
spokesman Mark Miner
would not say where it took
place.

PET
CORNER
The American Philatelic
Society (APS) brought
their annual convention
to Columbus from Aug.
11-14. Here collectors,
buyers, sellers and phila-
telic based organizations
like the US Postal Service
and the Precancel Stamp
Society come together to
share their knowledge,
their wares, and their time
with the thousands of peo-
ple who came from all
over the world who wish
to be part of this interest-
ing field of study.
These stamp shows or
bourses as they are referred
to by many in the stamp
world are very informative
and entertaining. For those
of you who are not famil-
iar with the term bourse,
it is defined as a meeting
of stamp collectors and/
or dealers, where stamps
and covers are sold or
exchanged. Check on line
and you can find numerous
listings of bourses in com-
muting distances of your
home. They are usually
free to the public, spon-
sored by a local area stamp
club, and they are a great
place for beginning stamp
collectors to get their feet
wet.
One of the major attrac-
tions at this particular event
was Stamp Camp. Stamp
Camp was broken down in
two parts. The first was for
beginners who were taught
the basics about collecting
stamps and were shown
that this does not need to
be an expensive hobby.
It is, however, a hobby
that will teach you about
almost any subject in the
world. The second was
Stamp Camp for Leaders.
Teaching aids, lesson
plans, and activity listings
were given to adults that
wish to help educate those
beginners.
Right next to space
camp was one of my
favorite booths Stamps
in a Bucket. Here you
could spend all day look-
ing through mound after
mound of stamps picking
just the ones that inter-
ested you and paying
just a few dollars for a
bucket full. What many
people dont realize is
that the hobby is not just
for unused stamps but
includes those that have
already been cancelled.
The monetary value may
be less than for those in
mint condition, but the
value to the collector can
still be very rewarding.
Others like first day cov-
ers actually gain more
value by having that first
day cancellation.
Columbus was honored
to have this particular
stamp show and to be part
of some very special cel-
ebrations.
First it was the 125th
anniversary of the
American Philatelic
Society (APS). Being the
granddaddy of the phila-
telic world, APS has a very
broad mission and here are
just two of their tenets: to
promote stamp collecting
for people of all ages
to offer services to its
membership and to philat-
ely in general, including
knowledge and education,
which enhance the plea-
sure and friendliness of
stamp collecting
While at the show, I
decided to join this orga-
nization of over 35,000
members in order to broad-
en my knowledge of this
aspect of our museum.
There were two other
celebrations that took
place during the conven-
tion. On Aug. 11, the US
Postal Service issued (first
day of issue that is) the
fifth set of 10 stamps in
the Flags of Our Nation
series. These 10 designs
included the flags of eight
states: Ohio, Oklahoma,
Oregon Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, South
Carolina, South Dakota and
Tennessee and the flag of
the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands
and the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico.
On Aug. 12 at the show,
the newest Eid stamp was
unveiled. Eid is the generic
Arabic word meaning holi-
day or festival. At this time
of year the Muslim world
is celebrating Ramadan,
a 30 day period of fast-
ing. The last three days
of Ramadan are referred
to as Eid al-Fitr, the fes-
tival of fast breaking. The
issuance of this stamp pre
dates the events of 9-11-
2001 and reflects nothing
more than commemorating
a holiday season celebrat-
ed by more than 7 million
Muslims in America. In
future articles we will talk
about many other interest-
ing stamp issues.
Watch for details on our
Design a Stamp Contest
which will be exhibited
at the Museum of Postal
History during Canal Days
2011.
Monday will be the last
day to sign up for our trip
to Mt. Airy, N.C. If you are
considering going remember
we only have 8 seats left on
the bus. Please call me right
away for more information at
419-303-5482.
Vixen is a 7-plus-year-old
pit mix. She is great with peo-
ple, dogs and cats and shes
the only dog thats married
at the shelter. Special needs:
Vixen has a skin condition
that requires medication and
weekly baths.
Austen was 4-years old
and came to the shelter
with a fractured hip. Hes
all healed up now, with the
only evidence being a slightly
silly walk. None the less, he
thinks hes king!

SPORTS
Cougars look to improve
on success of 2010
By Brian Bassett
Times Bulletin
Sports Editor
sports@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT - The Van
Wert boys soccer team has
reason to be optimistic about
the upcoming season. The
Cougars return most players
from the 2010 squad, which
happened to be the most suc-
cessful in school history; win-
ning four regular season games
and two playoff games.
The Cougars have a new
coach at the helm, George
Scott takes over as head coach.
Scott is very familiar with the
program, however, having
coached the Cougars in 2006,
and worked as an assistant for
the team the past two years.
The Cougar defense should
be very solid, led by senior
goalie Joe Moonshower who
was named first team All-
District in 2010. Also back
on defense are, senior Jack
Moonshower, junior Caleb
Markward and senior A.J.
Foster.
Junior Joey Hurless figure
to be the main scoring threat
for the Cougars. Joey Hurless
came out to play for us, hes
been playing striker and hope-
fully he can produce quite a
few goals for us, Scott said.
Scott said that the biggest
concern for the Cougars in
2011, is potential injuries.
Our numbers overall are kind
of low, if we get any inju-
ries, that could cause us some
issues, Scott said.
The Cougars will be with-
out the services of Jacob Hood,
Gary Espinoza and Tyler
Money, all of whom were lost
to graduation last year.
The veterans who are left
for the Cougars would like to
improve on the playoff suc-
cess of 2010, while showing
the younger players the ropes.
Every year we pick up some
new guys and its challenging
to get them up-to-speed, but
our veterans really help set the
bar as far as improving on the
previous year, Scott said.
The Cougars who have
struggled in the WBL in their
short existence, look to jump
from the bottom to the middle
of the league pack this year.
The WBL is always pret-
ty tough, historically we are
always close to the bottom,
our goal is to try to get closer
to the middle of the pack,
Scott said.
Opposing teams will have
trouble scoring on the deep
Cougar defense, if they can
score some goals on the sea-
son, look for them to surprise
some people in 2011.
At Ottoville Monday
Wildcats tune up with grid shutout
By JIM METCALFE
jmetcalfe@delpho-
sherald.com
DELPHOS As prepa-
rations for the 2011 football
regular season continue apace,
coaches want to see their teams
getting better and crisper.
The Jefferson coaching
staff led by Bub Lindeman is
no different.
They wanted to see a
crisper scrimmage versus
Waynesfield-Goshen and the
players gave it to them, hand-
ing the visiting Tigers a 12-0
shutout on the final preseason
scrimmage Friday night at
Stadium Park.
That is one of the major
areas we wanted to focus on;
being crisper than we were in
our first two scrimmages. We
wanted to come out faster; I
felt we came out slow in both
of our previous scrimmages,
Lindeman explained. I felt
we were attacking and aggres-
sive from the start; we took
it right to them from the first
play.
In two quarters of game sit-
uation, the Tigers could barely
dent the Wildcat defense.
That also was nice to see;
the defense played well and
they sustained that the entire
way. We got after them and
we will need that to continue
as we get ready this week for
our opener, Lindeman con-
tinued.
On the other side, Jefferson
scored on the second posses-
sion of the first period on a
3-yard run by senior tailback
Curtis Miller at the 7:04 mark.
However, the point-after
touchdown hit off the right
upright, leaving a 6-0 score.
The Wildcats were stopped
on fourth down at the Tiger
18 in the second period but
the defense got another inter-
ception return for a touch-
down this scrimmage season
by senior cornerback Shayn
Klinger, this one taking it to
the house from 45 yards at
2:07. The PAT was blocked
for the final score.
Our offensive line really
was much better. Everyone
knows that is our biggest area
of concern coming in with a
lot of inexperience up there
and they executed the sys-
tem much better, Lindeman
added. The backs ran hard;
overall, I liked our intensity
the entire way.
However, we had some
penalties that we have to
address and we will do so this
week. Its fortunate they hap-
pened this week and they are
correctable but we need to get
that taken care of.
In the junior varsity match-
up involving a quarter of
game situation, the Wildcats
scored on a 32-yard jaunt by
freshman quarterback Nick
Fitch at 10:32 but missed the
kick.
The Tigers scored twice:
a 2-yard run at 3:59 and a
76-yard touchdown pass with
no time remaining. The first
2-point conversion failed and
the second succeeded, ending
the scrimmage.
The Wildcats host
Northwood Friday to start the
real campaign.
A Waynesfield-Goshen running back finds a wall of Jefferson defenders during
Friday nights final preseason scrimmage at Stadium Park. In a half of live action, the
Wildcats shut out the Tigers 12-0.

Pirate girls deep and experienced

CONTINENTAL
Continentals girls soccer pro-
gram under head man Toby
Bidlack has built up a solid
reputation over the years.
He hopes that last years
9-7-2 (0-3-1 Putnam County
League) mark is just a blip in
the road.
With nine returning starters
and four more letterwinners, he
is well-stocked to make it so.
Three senior veteran start-
ers will be in their fourth
seasons of varsity: Kayla
Mansfield (defense/midfield),
Alli Prowant (midfield) and
Mady Recker (midfield/for-
ward); along with third-season
performers in juniors Hannah
Baker (midfield), Sara Deken
(defense) and Leva Weller
(goalkeeper/forward); and
veteran sophomores Paige
Kindilien (midfield), Paige
Ordway (midfield/forward) and
Kiana Warnement (defense/
midfield).
Third-year juniors Vanessa
Koppenhofer (midfield/for-
ward) and Taylor Williamson
(forward) and sophomores
Whitney Miller (defense) and
Bridgitte Shelton (forward/
midfield) garnered letters a
year ago off the bench.
With promising newcom-
ers such as Sloane Zachrich
(sophomore forward) and
freshmen Caitlin Geckle (mid-
field), Taylor Niese (forward)
and McKenna Scott (forward/
midfield); along with six more
freshmen: Andrea Krendl
(defense), Madison Mansfield
(defense), Makenzie Mansfield
(defense), Jasmine Pancake
(midfield), Emma Recker
(goalkeeper) and Christina
Sarka (midfield); Bidlack has
more options to choose from
than he has had in the last sev-
eral seasons.
We have good speed and
several scoring threats. Right
now, we are weak in the pass-
ing department and defensive
pressure, Bidlack noted. We
have a good combination of
youth and experience. We have
several talented players and if
we can develop into a cohesive
unit, we could have a success-
ful season.
Assistant coaches are Kelly
Coble and Jessica Brown.

Scherzer leads Tigers
to 4-1 win over Indians
DETROIT By July,
Alex Avila had gone from
an unknown to the American
Leagues starting catcher in the
All-Star game.
What he has done in August
has been more impressive.
With Victor Martinez hob-
bled by a sore knee, Avila has
caught Detroits last 13 games
despite manager Jim Leylands
concerns about wearing out the
24-year-old.
Instead, Avila has hit .420 in
the stretch with a .531 on-base
percentage and four homers. On
Friday night, he homered in
first-place Detroits 4-1 victory
over second-place Cleveland.
This has been very impres-
sive, both mentally and physi-
cally, Leyland said. Ive never
seen a catcher that gets hit by
foul tips as often as Alex does
but he keeps going out there
every day and doing the job.
Avila brushed off any praise,
saying that the cooler weather
has been the most important
factor. But his teammates are
gushing over his performance in
the AL Central pennant race.
What Alex is doing is
amazing, said Max Scherzer,
Fridays winning pitcher who
went seven innings. Hes irre-
placeable right now.
The Indians could have taken
over the division lead with a
sweep of the 3-game series but
Scherzers pitching and three
Detroit homers mean they are 2
1/2 games back.
The way they are playing,
the way we are playing and
even the way Chicago is play-
ing, I dont think this is going
to be decided in the next cou-
ple days, Indians starter Josh
Tomlin said.
Scherzer (13-7) allowed one
run, five hits and a walk while
throwing a career-high 127
pitches. He got an extra day of
rest after throwing 120 pitches
in his last start.
Joaquin Benoit and Jose
Valverde finished, with the lat-
ter pitching the ninth for his
36th save in as many opportuni-
ties. Valverde was coming off
Wednesdays loss to the Twins,
where he allowed two ninth-
inning runs in a tie game.
Tomlin (12-6) gave up
four runs and six hits in 6 2/3
innings.
I was happy with the way I
threw the ball for five innings,
he said. After that, I needed to
make better pitches.
The Tigers didnt get a run-
ner into scoring position in
the first five innings but Ryan
Raburn hit a 2-out single in
the sixth and Austin Jackson
followed with his sixth career
homer.
Cleveland got a run back in
the seventh. Carlos Santana led
off the inning with a single; after
Scherzer struck out the next two
hitters, Lonnie Chisenhall beat
out an infield grounder when
first baseman Miguel Cabreras
throw pulled Scherzer off the
bag. Santana took third on the
play and scored on a wild pitch.
Tomlin gave us a chance
but we never really got any-
thing going against Scherzer,
Cleveland manager Manny
Acta said. We just couldnt
score.

FISHING REPORT
OHIO DEPARTMENT OF
NATURAL RESOURCES
CENTRAL OHIO
Kokosing River (Knox Co.) -
Part of Ohios first water trail, this
stream provides a good day catch-
ing smallmouth and rock bass.
Smallmouths are active around
cover in pools and runs; use small
tubes or crankbaits in crayfish
or shiner patterns around woody
cover and boulders. Rock bass
can be caught in the same areas
with the same baits. Channel cat-
fish can be caught in deep pools
using shrimp, nightcrawlers and
prepared baits.
Rush Creek Lake (Fairfield/
Perry counties) - Channel catfish
can be caught in this lake east of
Lancaster; use cut shad, shrimp
or nightcrawlers fished in east
or south ends for best results.
Bluegill are providing some action
around cover in the east end; use
wax or red worms fished under
a bobber. Largemouth bass are
also being caught on spinnerbaits;
these must be 15 inches or lon-
ger to keep. Crappie fishing will
improve as water temperatures
cool. There is a 10-HP limit on
the lake.
NORTHWEST OHIO
Upper Sandusky #2 -
Largemouth bass are being caught
in the mornings using nightcrawl-
ers under slip bobbers cast-
ing has also been effective
especially in the shallow shoreline
areas, near the beach or standing
timber. Bluegill are being caught
in 10-12 feet using wax worms or
small jigs in the early afternoon,
as well as channel catfish at night
near the beach using shrimp.
Killdeer pond #33 - Fishing for
largemouth bass in the evenings
using worms or top-water baits
has been productive, especially
the south and west shorelines.
Sunfish are being caught just off
the bottom using wax worms or
small jigs; try the early afternoon
in the western portion for best
results.
Killdeer reservoir - Anglers
have been catching channel cats
at night using cut baits fished near
the bottom; the south shoreline has
been the best spot. Smallmouths
are being caught near the west
shoreline in 8-12 feet of water
using leeches, softcraws, or soft
baits; try in the evening along the
west shoreline.
NORTHEAST OHIO
Atwood Lake (Carroll/
Tuscarawas counties) - White
bass have been active and are
easy to catch; watching for sur-
face disturbances or circling birds
can reveal the location of their
feeding schools, which may then
be caught on a variety of small,
minnow-imitating baits such as sil-
ver 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 cats are also
present, with most over 16 inch-
es and many exceeding 2 feet.
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.
Tappan Lake (Harrison Co.)
- The largemouth bass bite has
been good during low light peri-
ods; spinner baits fished around
fallen trees have been produc-
tive, as have Texas-rigged plastic
worms fished around riprap. Try
bright flashy spinner-bait patterns
like chartreuse or white to mimic
baitfish, or dark plastic worms.
West Branch Lake (Portage
Co.) - This offers a variety of
quality opportunities. Muskellunge
have been biting periodically;
these large fish are suspended
over deep water and may be
caught trolling large (6-10 inches)
medium-running crankbaits in bait-
fish patterns. Walleye have also
been biting well in deeper water;
jigging with curly-tailed grubs or
trolling worm harnesses in orange
or chartreuse near structure in the
15- to 20-foot range has been pro-
ductive. Numbers of walleye are
fair but most caught will be over
15 inches, with a good proportion
over 20 inches. Largemouths are
being caught in weedbeds from
5-10 feet deep; Texas-rigged 6- to
8-inch plastic worms in dark col-
ors and white or green pumpkin-
colored soft plastic jerkbaits have
begun to produce fish.
SOUTHEAST OHIO
Seneca Lake (Noble Co.) -
Fishing for catfish is best along
the south end near SR 147; cast
along the shoreline with chicken
liver, night crawlers or shrimp to
catch catfish in the 1- to 3-pound
range. Boat fishermen should fish
in the channel areas of either Wills
Creek or Beaver Creek.
Forked Run Lake (Meigs Co.)
- Channel catfish are being caught
during the nighttime, particularly in
the upper end, using nightcrawl-
ers and chicken liver fished on
the bottom.
Jackson Lake (Jackson Co.)
- Fish for bluegill and other sun-
fish anywhere along the shoreline
access areas with wax worms
under a bobber. Late evening and
early morning is most success-
ful for catfish with the typical cut
baits, nightcrawlers or chicken liv-
ers fished tight-line; fish caught
range from 12-16 inches.
OHIO RIVER
Serpintine Wall, Downtown
Cincinnati (Hamilton Co.) - Anglers
are having success catching blue
cats in the morning; try using
chicken breast.
Gallia Co. - Channel and flat-
head catfish anglers have been
using cut bait and chicken livers
along the shallow edges of deeper
holes. Hybrid striped bass are still
hitting on minnows and minnow-
type lures at the R.C. Byrd dam.
Scioto Co. - Anglers have
been having success at Greenup
Dam fishing for hybrid striped and
white bass. Hybrids have been
hitting on cut and live baits fished
off the bottoms; early mornings
have been producing the most
catches. White bass have been
reeled in using top-water lures, as
well as skipjack, chubs, shiners
and cut bait.

Boat Registration Renewal
By JOHN KEKIS
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y.
His left racing shoe untied to ease
the pressure on his sore ankle,
Brad Keselowski limped ever-so-
slightly out of the No. 2 Penske
Racing hauler and plopped down
in a directors chair.
Another day at the track was
over but the pain from his broken
ankle and bruised back wasnt
getting any better.
Not after two sessions of
NASCAR Cup practice over the
grueling, 11-turn road course at
Watkins Glen.
Im here and driving,
so it cant be too bad, right?
Keselowski asked with a pained
smile. It feels better but it defi-
nitely doesnt feel much better
than last weekend. Driving is
obviously hell on it but were
going to tough it out. I can make
it work.
Keselowski was injured dur-
ing a testing session two weeks
ago when the brakes on his No.
2 Dodge failed and he slammed
head-on into a wall at Road
Atlanta that did not have an
energy-absorbing barrier. Data
showed he was traveling about
100 mph at time of impact.
Since then, hes held off nem-
esis Kyle Busch to win at Pocono
and finished second at Watkins
Glen International on Monday
one spot ahead of Busch and just
behind winner Marcos Ambrose
in a thrilling green-white-check-
ered finish.
If not for a bump from
Ambrose, one of the best road
racers in NASCAR, that nudged
him aside at the end of the race,
Keselowski would have had his
third win of the season on a track
where he was making just his
second Cup start.
It shows how dedicated he
is, crew chief Paul Wolfe said.
I dont think hes going to let
anybody down.
A year ago, Keselowski, a
third-generation racer, was
well on his way to winning the
Nationwide Series title. But he
was struggling mightily in his
first full season in Cup, battling
to earn the respect of his fellow
drivers.
Thats all changed this sea-
son.
I think Im slowly becom-
ing more competitive and as you
become more competitive you get
more respect from your competi-
tors and things just get easier,
Keselowski said. You dont
have to fight so many different
things. The biggest thing overall
is just time.
Im getting more respect. I
dont know how to quantify that
but I just know that things are
getting easier. That makes you
look a lot better when things get
easier.
Excelling while driving hurt
the past two races made the
27-year-old Keselowski seem
like a throwback, if his actions on
track already hadnt.
Brad came in a little too wor-
ried about all that, concerned that
he wasnt going to be getting it
(respect), and I think that both-
ered him, said 18-year Cup vet-
eran Jeff Burton. Some people
come in and dont even worry
about it. You know at some point
youre going to have to have
everybodys respect but you cant
lose sleep over it.
Youve got to go and be who
you are. Youve got to race the
way you know to race. Youve
got to be true to who you are
and you have to understand that
theres consequences to that,
good and bad.
Keselowskis hard-driving
style has repeatedly made it clear
hes no pushover and there have
been consequences.
In just his fifth race at
NASCARs top level, he snatched
his first victory at Talladega
Superspeedway when Carl
Edwards tried to block his pass
for the win as they sped to the
checkered flag.
Keselowski didnt lift and the
contact with Edwards sent the
No. 99 Ford airborne and upside
down, sheet metal spewing in his
wake as the car sailed into the
safety fence in a scary crash.
After Keselowski collided
again with Edwards at Atlanta,
Edwards retaliated by intention-
ally wrecking Keselowski, send-
ing him airborne. And when
Edwards intentionally wrecked
Bad Brad, causing a frighten-
ing accident on the last lap of
a Nationwide race at Gateway
International Raceway last sum-
mer, both were placed on pro-
bation for the remainder of the
season.
Keselowski also angered Kyle
Busch in a Nationwide race at
Bristol last year while the two
were racing for the lead. Busch
intentionally spun him and went
on to win the race. Keselowski
finished 14th.
Busch celebrated that win by
mockingly rubbing his eyes like a
crying baby and was greeted with
a chorus of boos. Keselowski
promised revenge over the public
address system and had some
choice words for Busch the next
day during driver introductions
for the Cup race.
Now, all of that seems like
ancient history as the Cup series
heads to his home state of
Michigan.
Last year was a struggle for
him, Burton said. He started
out this year it was a struggle for
him but theyve rebounded. It
took me about a year and a half
in this series for it to click, for
me to say, Hey, I understand
it now. I think thats the time
frame hes in.
He needs to and has let his
performance talk for itself,
Burton added. He had his inci-
dents with Carl and Kyle and
all that but really if you go out
and really think about Brad, hes
never really in the middle of a lot
of stuff. I think hes done a good
job of stepping away from all
that and just saying, You know,
Im just going to race and not get
caught up in all that. Hes done a
much better job with that, in my
opinion, this year.
And it shows.
With four races remaining
until the 10-race for the Chase
for the Sprint Cup title begins,
Keselowski is a near shoe-in to
be one of the 12 drivers to make
the postseason. He sits 14th in the
standings and is the only driver
ranked from 11th to 20th with
two wins. The top 10 drivers in
the standings and the two drivers
with the most victories in 11th
to 20th place earn spots for the
Chase.
Michigan crucial as drivers
fight for Chase spots: Denny
Hamlin won Michigans Sprint
Cup race back in June. If he can
repeat the feat this weekend, he
might have a few more fans than
usual.
Hamlin is currently 12th in
the points standings but hes in
line to earn one of two wild card
spots for NASCARs postseason.
There are four races remaining
until the 10-race Chase for the
Sprint Cup begins.
The top 10 drivers in the
standings and the two drivers
with the most victories in 11th
to 20th place earn spots for the
Chase. Right now, Hamlin is in
line for a wild card spot along
with Keselowski, in 14th place
with two wins.
If Hamlin can move into the
top 10, it could open a wild card
chance for someone else.
IndyCar drivers upset by
calls at rainy NH race: An
IndyCar race official has plen-
ty to consider and little time to
make critical decisions. The fall-
out from those decisions lasts a
lot longer.
Thats certainly the case for
Brian Barnhart.
IndyCars director of com-
petition and operations admitted
he messed up when he restart-
ed Sundays race at the New
Hampshire Motor Speedway on a
wet track. Its just one of a num-
ber of tough calls hes made that
have drawn criticism.
He makes such bad calls
all the time, an incensed Will
Power said after he crashed on the
slippery surface. This has got to
be it. They cannot have this guy
running the show.
This is the worst officiat-
ing Ive ever seen, said Michael
Andretti, owner of Andretti
Autosports. Normally, Brian
does a great job but this time he
really missed it.
And that isnt all.
Barnharts decision to revert
to the order at Lap 215 when
the yellow flag came out in the
scheduled 225-lap race sparked
a postrace controversy. Ryan
Hunter-Reay, who drives for
Andretti, was declared the win-
ner. But Oriol Servia and Scott
Dixon said they both passed him
in the few seconds between the
restart and the crash that began
when Danica Patrick slid side-
ways and Power hit her.
So the actual result may not be
known until next week when the
teams of Servia and Power will
argue their protests at a hearing.
Power, trying to catch Dario
Franchitti for the series points
lead, was knocked out in the
crash but was given fifth place.
Before learning that, he flashed
two middle fingers at race offi-
cials, a scene caught by a televi-
sion camera. Power apologized
and, so far, hasnt been penal-
ized.
Barnhart admitted he was
wrong in restarting the race but
defended his decision to revert to
the order after Lap 215 before his
mistake.
It wasnt his first brush with
controversy.
At the Indianapolis 500 in
2002, Barnhart declared Helio
Castroneves the winner under
caution despite Paul Tracys claim
that he had passed Castroneves
moments before the yellow flag
came out. Five hours later, Indy
Racing League officials backed
up Barnharts decision.
But the case kept dragging out
when Tracys team owner, Barry
Green, appealed. More than a
month after the race, IRL presi-
dent Tony George said Barnharts
split-second decision could not be
appealed and, besides, it was the
right one.
Fast forward to Edmonton,
July 2010.
Castroneves crossed the finish
line first but was black-flagged
for blocking Power and knocked
down to 10th in the final results.
Dixon was named the winner. A
livid Castroneves stormed out of
his car and grabbed an IndyCar
security chief before being
restrained. He later apologized
for his actions but maintained he
didnt block Power.
Barnhart was in the spotlight
again Sunday with so much to
consider as the cars sped around
the 1-mile oval. He wanted a
good race for fans and television
viewers, not one that ended under
a caution flag especially with
the New Hampshire track trying
to rebuild interest as it returned to
IndyCar racing for the first time
since 1998.
With so few miles left after
the yellow, he had to hurry his
decision before the race reached
its scheduled end. And the rain
was just a light mist, not a down-
pour that would have made the
decision not to restart easy.
The IndyCar blogosphere
has been filled with criticism of
Barnharts decision to restart.
Questions have been raised there
about whether he should be
replaced.
But the job is a magnet for
criticism from a group of drivers
not at all reluctant to express their
opinions.
Former driver Al Unser Jr., a
member of Race Control, agreed
that Barnhart faced a tough deci-
sion.
I went outside (before the
restart) and I saw the water but
it wasnt any more than what we
had been running prior, Unser
said. Obviously, we had made
the wrong decision.
Its a decision Barnhart cant
take back.
Bad Brad not
so bad anymore

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
SUNDAY, AUG. 21, 2011
There is a strong possibility that
you could find yourself involved in
an endeavor that is a total departure
from your usual interests. Youll be
involving yourself with new people,
equipment and systems, and youll
have a great time.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- This
is one of those days when it pays
to operate as independently as you
possibly can. Non-contributors could
muddle things up so badly that you
might have to throw in the towel on
what youre doing.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Dont waste your time talking
about your intentions. Spend all
your time and energy on first laying
out your plan of attack and then
performing whatever it is you want
to accomplish.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
Usually youre the type of person
who doesnt impose your will upon
others. However, without realizing
it, you could step out of character
and become very demanding of your
companions.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- If your mate isnt around and you
havent conferred with him or her
about an important matter, hold off
on making a decision on your own. A
collective vision will be far superior.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- It is extremely important to
make sure your attention is totally
focused on the task at hand. A
huge mistake is likely to be made
the moment your mind begins to
wander.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- Its always imperative to manage
your resources wisely, but not doing
now so could cause larger than usual
penalties. Think twice before jumping
into a speculative involvement.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Although you wont hesitate to
champion an unpopular cause, think
twice before you do so. Fighting for
something thats being blocked by
the majority could put you in a bad
light.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Unless you are methodical and
purposeful, you are likely to make
even little jobs tougher on yourself
than they need be. If you do take on
anything, look before you leap.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- Be careful about the companions
you select, because theyre likely
to govern how much youll spend.
Those who have no respect for what
things cost could wipe you out.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Its okay to want to accomplish a lot,
but if you take on more than you can
handle, you might end up spreading
your forces too thin and doing a
mediocre job on everything.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- If your ego causes you to try to
bluff your way through on what you
truly cannot do, the results are likely
to turn out to be embarrassing. Be
honest about your experience and
abilities.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Be careful about butting into
situations that dont directly concern
you, because you might be sticking
your snoot into something that carries
dire consequences.
MONDAY, AUG. 22, 2011
More than the usual amount of
opportunities will be available to
you in the year ahead, making it hard
at times to choose just which ones
you want to partake in. Each will be
significant and shouldnt be taken for
granted.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be
extremely selective regarding your
companions. If you arent, there
could be a troublemaker in the group
who will be responsible for making
everybody feel uncomfortable.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
If you are unduly critical of others,
it is likely because youre taking
what they say out of context and
misinterpreting innocent comments
as intentional zappers. Think
positively.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) --
By attempting to mix business with
pleasure, you could unintentionally
cause someone in the group to feel
uneasy. Make sure everyone is okay
with the situation at hand.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Its fine that your competitive
instincts are easily aroused, as long
as you dont get emotional over
winning or losing and behave badly.
Be a good sport about the outcome.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- When among friends, let
sleeping dogs lie. Even if you bring
up an old incident that you think
funny, it could evoke a bitter reaction
from the person involved.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- It isnt always too smart to impose
unsolicited advice on another. If the
situation fails to work out well, he
or she may blame you even if your
counsel wasnt the problem.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Avoid any situation in which you
have to depend heavily on another
or another has to rely on you. If you
or the other person cant do what is
promised, a bitter reaction might
result.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Although youre someone who
usually tries to be of help to others,
you could easily feel put upon if
another thinks you are always there
for them, regardless of the situation.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- Even if you could make someone
over in your own image, you
wouldnt like the results. Its easiest
to just accept everybody for who and
what they are.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- If everybody in the house seems
to be walking around with an angry
look on his or her face, make sure it
wasnt put there by you. If youre on
edge, calm down.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Wanting everybody to respond to
your edicts is untenable if you cant
set the example by following orders
yourself. Dont ask of others what
you wont do.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --
When out with others, splitting the
bill with them could be problematic
unless you establish up front that
everybody is willing to fork out.
Dont assume something that might
be rejected.

Liberals complain about Obama; will it cost votes?
By KEN THOMAS
WASHINGTON Liberals argue that he
caved on the debt ceiling. Unions are upset
over his handling of unemployment and labor
issues. Hispanics brought the immigration
debate directly to his campaign doorstep.
President Barack Obamas summer of dis-
content has been marked by rumblings within
his Democratic political base over his willing-
ness to fight congressional Republicans and
his approach to fixing the economy.
Liberals disappointed with Obama for
compromising with the GOP during the
debt-ceiling showdown now are calling
on him to hold firm against Republicans
this fall. They want him to push a bold
jobs agenda while drawing a strong line on
taxes and protecting Medicare and Social
Security.
In recent weeks, the gripes have become so
loud that the president himself acknowledged
them during his Midwest bus tour this week.
Ive got a whole bunch of responsibilities,
which means I have to make choices some-
times that are unattractive and I know will be
bad for me politically and I know will get sup-
porters of mine disappointed, Obama said in
Iowa. He claimed progress on the economy,
health care and two wars. And, offering
his backers a bit of tough love, he added:
Sometimes youve got to make choices in
order to do whats best for the country at that
particular moment, and thats what Ive tried
to do.
The complaints founded or not are
narrowing the tightrope Obama must walk
over the next year to keep his base energized
while recapturing the independent voters who
helped power his win over John McCain in
2008.
Still, for all the complaining, the ultimate
impact on Obamas re-election chances is
open to question. The president faces no
serious primary opponent, and polls show
him faring fairly well within his party. Few
liberals are likely to support a Republican for
president next year.
But angry liberals could refuse to volun-
teer to knock on doors or make phone calls,
a pivotal grass-roots role for a candidates
base of supporters. Disaffected Democrats
could keep their wallets closed, hampering
small-dollar fundraising over the Internet. Or
they could just stay away from the polls on
Election Day.
They want to love him, but hes given
them little evidence and his rhetoric is run-
ning out of steam, said Princeton professor
Cornel West, who campaigned for Obama in
2008 but has become a fierce critic. We find
ourselves between a rock and a hard place.
Hes going to need high levels of enthusiasm
among his base, and its going to be hard
to do that with speeches and no real serious
actions or policies.
The liberal angst has surfaced repeatedly
over the past year as Obama has faced the
reality of divided government in the aftermath
of the 2010 congressional elections in which
Republicans won the House.
Hershey protestors
reject US trip
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) Companies involved in
employing foreign students who walked off their jobs in pro-
test at a facility that serves the Hershey chocolate manufacturer
on Friday developed a plan to send the students on a trip to see
some of the United States cultural and historical landmarks,
but leaders of the protesting students rejected the idea flatly.
Rick Anaya, chief executive of the Council for Educational
Travel USA, the San Clemente, Calif.-based nonprofit com-
pany that helped bring the students to the U.S., said the plan
emerged after a two-hour conference call with representatives
of the other three companies involved in their employment at a
chocolate distribution center just outside Hershey.
Were actually doing this on our dime, including paid
time off for the student-workers, he said. Were paying for
this trip. Were just fleshing out the details.
Students walked off the job at an Exel Inc.-run facility on
Wednesday, saying the work was so strenuous and low-paying
that they were unable to see very much of the country they
came to visit and that they were angry at having spent thou-
sands of dollars to participate in the program.
The students hold J-1 visas, which supply resorts and other
businesses with cheap seasonal labor as part of a program
aimed at fostering cultural understanding.
Exel said Thursday it doesnt intend to continue to employ
J-1 visa holders after the current groups tenure ends in mid-
September.
Anaya said the plan was developed during a call with repre-
sentatives of Westerville, Ohio-based Exel; The Hershey Co.,
the nations second-largest candy maker; and SHS Staffing
Solutions, a Lemoyne-based temp agency that employs the
roughly 400 J-1 visa holders who work at the Exel facility.
Anaya said the trip was not designed to buy off the students
but rather to directly address one of their main concerns. He
said their other issues would remain on the table and his orga-
nization was committed to dealing with them.
Exel spokeswoman Lynn Anderson described the cultural
trip as part of an effort to address the workers complaints.
A spokesman for Hershey, whose sweet treats include
Almond Joy, Kit Kat, Milk Duds and Reeses peanut butter
cups, said it was working with the other companies on the issue
but offered no details about the cultural trip. A spokesman for
SHS Staffing did not immediately return a phone message.
Doc charged in prescription drug case
Phoenix gets 3 dramatic
dust storms in 6 weeks

Summit
Libya rebels close in on Gadhafi, seizing key city
SAN DIEGO A doctor who wrote prescriptions for nearly a
million tablets of the powerful painkiller hydrocone last year has
been charged with seven others in what authorities described as a
strike against a ring that smuggled prescription drugs to Mexico
from the U.S., according to federal indictments obtained Friday.
The unusual operation brought a flood of yellow and blue
hydrocodone tablets to Tijuana pharmacies, where American
addicts snapped them up over the counter on jaunts across the
border from San Diego, investigators said.
Authorities speculate it was easier for smugglers to unload
large batches of pills at those loosely regulated pharmacies than
to distribute them in small amounts through American street deal-
ers.
Its also profitable: A smuggler who buys a pill for about $2
in the United States can sell it to a Mexican pharmacy for about
$3.50, and the American addict pays about $6 to bring it back
home.
We got Tijuana in the palm of our hand, Jason Lewis, one
of the people accused of smuggling, said in a wiretapped conver-
sation, according to a search warrant affidavit filed in the case.
Weve been doing this for years, bro.
The risk of getting caught carrying drugs across the border into
Mexico is minuscule. Motorists and pedestrians are almost never
stopped for questioning, unlike the tough scrutiny they face when
entering the United States.
PHOENIX (AP) A thick cloud of dust has swallowed
Phoenix at sundown three times this summer, covering the
city with grit and baffling even longtime residents who cant
remember seeing so many dramatic haboobs during a mon-
soon season.
A 1,000-feet-high wall of dust traveled at least 50 miles
into metro Phoenix and neighboring Pinal County on Thursday
evening before dissipating.
It turned the skies brown, reduced visibility, created danger-
ous driving conditions and caused some airline flights to be
delayed. The storm, also known by the Arabic word haboob,
also coated anything left outside in a thin layer of fine dirt and
left some people who walked outside for a minute or two with
grit between their teeth.
Danny Shepherd, a deejay who was driving to a gig at a cof-
fee house during the storm, has lived in metropolitan Phoenix
since 1989 and cant recall so many big dust storms in one
year. Theyre typical but I also think theres been a lot more
this year big ones and small ones and the haboob, the grand-
daddy of them all, Shepherd said.
National Weather Service meteorologist Ken Waters said
the area is experiencing a typical number of dust storms this
year, but what sets this season apart from others is the size and
power of three of the storms.
Each year, you are going to get some variety of the dust
storms, Waters said. We dont see a single causative factor
for why they seem to be stronger this year.
Waters said thunderstorms moving through southern
Arizona supplied winds of up to 60 mph that stirred up fine
dust in the agricultural fields and sent Thursdays storm to the
nations sixth-largest city.
It was a strong dust storm, but nothing on the order of the
big one in July, he said.
This seasons most powerful dust storm came on July 5
when a mile-high wall of dust halted airline flights, knocked
out power for 10,000 people and covered everything in its
path with a thick sheet of dust. Another dust storm hit July 18
reaching heights of 3,000 to 4,000 feet, delaying flights and
cutting off power for more than 2,000 people in the Phoenix
metro area.
Weather experts said such massive dust storms only happen
in Arizona, Africas Sahara desert and parts of the Middle East
because of dry conditions and large amounts of sand.
SEATTLE (AP) Federal education officials have fined
Washington State University $82,500 for violations in 2007
of a campus crime reporting law, including not properly
reporting two sexual assaults, the university said Friday.
WSU will appeal the fine, spokesman Darin Watkins told
The Associated Press.
The U.S. Department of Education detailed the fine in a
letter to WSU President Elson Floyd on Friday, more than
five months after federal education officials completed an
investigation of WSUs campus crime statistics.
The government acknowledged in a report sent to Floyd
in March the university has made improvements to its crime
reporting since the incidents, but the report says those cor-
rective measures do not diminish the seriousness of the
violations.
Federal education officials audited the campus crime statis-
tics at about a dozen schools this year, including Washington
State. Some of those schools remain under investigation and
could also be fined.
The federal government found Washington State University
guilty of two violations of the Clery Act, but one finding cov-
ered two incidents. The federal law calls for fines of up to
$27,500 for each violation of the law.
WSU was charged with failing to properly disclose forc-
ible sex crime statistics and accurately classify offenses, and
failure to include statements about campus crime reporting
policies in its annual security report.
The first incident stemmed from an Aug. 31, 2007, call
to campus police that was incorrectly labeled as a domestic
dispute and never corrected even though investigators found
the case may have included a rape. The victim submitted a
written statement that said a friend of her husband had sexu-
ally assaulted her.
The second incident involved a Jan. 27, 2007, police
report of sexual assault that was labeled as unfounded by a
records manager after the victim decided not to provide sub-
stantiating information to police. The records manager had no
authority to label the case unfounded, and that action caused
the case to be removed from campus crime statistics.
WSU did not argue against the findings in the federal
report and said in one case the university had benefited from
the guidance and information provided during the review
process.
But in a statement Friday, Watkins said, We disagree
with the assertions in the report that the failures cited endan-
gered WSU students and employees. The findings in the
report relate to how crimes were reported in 2007. The mis-
characterization of two crimes in our statistics did not in any
way endanger our students or employees.

identify the things that most
engage their families, schools
and church groups to come
together on this issue.
Schoenhoffer wants area resi-
dents to understand the connec-
tions between programs that have
no direct connection to drug pre-
vention and the success stories of
people who never do drugs.
In education, weve focused
our efforts on testing and thats
great but weve focused more
on the head, less on the heart
the things kids pour their
hearts and passions into like
FFA and band. Thats the heart;
weve cut it out by pushing
extra-curricular programs to the
side, he said. Weve been so
focused on legislation, enforce-
ment and treatment but weve
dropped the ball on prevention.
Thats the heart. I want to see
us get back to the heart as a cul-
ture because thats where well
make real change. I want to see
us get to a place where people
are too invested in their lives
and have too much to lose to
ever get involved with drugs.
The event is intended to
mobilize everyday residents to
get involved and continue the
conversation.
Once the summit is over,
the goal is to have meetings
in each community for people
to go to and begin thinking
through what they want to do
in their community. They will
meet with prevention special-
ists well have at each of those
meetings to guide the discus-
sion, he added. Lastly, well
create a regional group where
different communities can come
back and talk about what works
for them and what doesnt work
so they can work together and
teach each other. Slowly, over
time, well make changes in
our communities and hopefully
have an annual conference.
Im excited. I think this
could be a catalyst for real
change.

ZAWIYA, Libya (AP) Rebels closed in on Moammar
Gadhafi, pushing back his fighters in a fierce battle in one key
coastal city and seizing another town as they advanced toward
his remaining bastion, the capital of Tripoli.
The territory remaining under Gadhafis control has been
shrinking dramatically in the past three weeks, with opposition
fighters moving closer to Tripoli, a metropolis of 2 million
people, from the west, south and east.
At the nearest point, rebel fighters are just 30 miles (50
kilometers) west of Tripoli, in the coastal city of Zawiya,
where battles raged Friday over control of the city center.
Gadhafis forces pounded rebel-held areas of the city with
rockets, mortars and anti-aircraft fire, but by nightfall were
pushed out of a multistory hotel on the square.
NATOs bombing campaign has made it difficult for the
regime to send massive reinforcements to Zawiya, enabling
the rebels to maintain a hold over much of the city, their big-
gest prize in months.
But Fridays onslaught by regime forces also signaled
that an opposition push toward Tripoli could be arduous and
bloody. The massive fire at one point pinned down some
two dozen rebel fighters behind a building about 200 yards
(meters) from Zawiyas central square, a symbolic prize in the
battle for control of the city of some 200,000 people.
The area was deserted, with building facades blackened and
scarred by bullet holes.
The men took a break for Muslim noon prayers, wash-
ing their hands and feet with water from plastic bottles, then
kneeling on carpets under an olive tree.
The group was commanded by Rida Shaeb, a 47-year-old
electrician who wore his workmans blue coveralls to the front
line. We are here to fight, said Shaeb. We are not going
back, even if we die.
East of the capital, rebels seized the city of Zlitan after
clashes with regime forces that left 31 rebels dead and 120
injured, a spokesman said. Zlitan had been a major obstacle in
the rebels push toward Tripoli from the east.
The fighters have liberated Zlitan and they are fighting
west of the city, said Munir Ramzi of the opposition Misrata
Military Council. He said Gadhafis forces were fleeing after
Fridays victory and the rebels are in control of the city.
With the recent advances, the rebels cut off the coastal road
to Tripoli from the east and the west, and also control a city
along a major supply road to the capital from the south.
Dealing another blow to the increasingly isolated leader,
Libyan rebels said Friday that Abdel-Salam Jalloud, a close
Gadhafi associate who was once the No. 2 top regime official,
has defected.
