power during AEP repairs
Nancy Spencer photo
At 4:32 p.m. on Thursday, Delphos Police, Fire and EMS were called to the 100 block
of East Fifth Street in reference to an injury accident in that area. Glenn Feathers, 48,
of Delphos was found to have been involved in a single car accident in front of Baked To
Perfection. Feathers had run into a power pole and caused severe damage to his vehicle.
Feathers was out of the vehicle upon arrival. After investigating the accident, Feathers
was charged with operating a motor vehicle while impaired, operating a motor vehicle
while having his driving privileges suspended, failure to maintain reasonable control, fail-
ure to wear a seat belt when operating a motor vehicle and failure to display license plates
on a motor vehicle. As a result of the accident, Feathers was transported to Lima St. Ritas
Medical Center for treatment. His condition is unknown. More than 1,100 customers were
without power for nearly three hours beginning at approximately 7:30 p.m. as American
Electric crews repaired the utility pole. Power was restored at approximately 10:30 p.m.

Area fields are parched from lack of rainfall. OSU-Extension
Ag Educator Curtis Young said soybeans, above, and corn had
enough moisture to hold up until now. In some cases, bean
flower blossoms arent producing bean pods.
Fields desperate for rain
At the Country Club
The ladies of the Delphos
Country Club held a regu-
lar round of golf on the
front nine Tuesday, with
Linda Boecker and Arlene
Kortokrax the chairpersons.
Alice Ricker was low-
gross winner and Kortokrax
the low net in the first flight,
while Aggie Swint won
low gross and Boecker and
Carol Hellman tied for low
net in the second flight.
Ricker and Swint tied
for low putts overall. Ricker
had the longest drive and
Kortokrax the longest putt
in the first flight, while
Swint had the longest drive
in the second flight.
Man found dead
from gunshot
wound; no foul
play suspected
Delphos police are
investigating the shooting
death of a 36-year-old male
found in a home in the 1100
block of South Erie Street.
Police were called to
the home at 3:56 p.m.
Thursday. Preliminary
reports indicate the unidenti-
fied male died from a self-
inflicted gunshot wound.
Officers saw no evidence
of foul play at the scene.
Investigators were
met later at the home by
Van Wert County Deputy
Coroner Dr. Miller, who
ordered an autopsy be con-
ducted Saturday at the Lucas
County Coroners Office.
The identity of the
deceased is being with-
held pending notification
of family members. The
investigation will continue.
No other information was
available at press time.

After a mid-summer heat
wave followed by more dry
weather, area crops have sim-
ply not had adequate rainfall
in recent months and can no
longer withstand the battering
plants are taking. One agri-
culture leader indicated corn
and soybeans had enough
moisture in them to hold up
until now.
According to Ohio
State University Extension
Educator Dr. Curtis Young,
the situation is now dire.
Were not doing so well;
were really desperate for rain
at this point. Crops are defi-
nitely suffering from the lack
of water and daytime high
temperatures and its taking a
toll on crop productivity, he
said. We still have corn that
hasnt tasselled and is growing
very slowly. What corn has
tasselled has pollinated and is
struggling to fill the grain.
Farmers are likely to reap
a shortfall in autumn.
Soybeans are growing
but in some cases, the flower
blossoms arent producing
bean pods. None of that is
good for plant development,
he said.
August isnt expected to
bring any rainfall but as the
upcoming season approaches
in September, one can only
hope for rain but it may be too
late for some.
If we get enough rain late
in the season, its possible
that some of the soybeans
may be able to take advan-
tage of it because soybeans
are more flexible than corn,
he said.
Young also said the weath-
er has brought on an extra
surprise.
The hot, dry weather has
been bad for building up a
pest called the two-spotted
spider mite. It loves hot, dry
weather and effects soybean
plants by causing the beans to
go from green to a yellowish-
green color. The leaves turn
brown and fall off. It typically
starts at the edges of the field
and works toward the interior,
so producers should watch
the edges of their fields very
carefully, he concluded.
Fighting drugs a legal
matter on all sides
BY MIKE FORD
mford@delphosherald.com
To make a drug-related
arrest, law enforcement must
build a case with a certain
amount of proof. When that
is yet to be obtained, residents
in the area of a suspected drug
trafficker who rents an apart-
ment may look to the land-
lord for help. Landlords can
check with police when deal-
ing with prospective tenants.
This is the best way they can
protect local neighborhoods
from criminal behavior. After
a leasing agreement is signed,
both parties are bound by it
and a landlord must show
some evidence either the con-
tract or the respective statute
has been broken in order to
evict.
Upendra Patel is an
attorney with Legal Aid of
Western Ohio who special-
izes in Ohio Landlord-Tenant
Law. He said how easy or
difficult it is for a landlord to
evict depends on the leasing
contract and the details of
each situation.
The Ohio Revised Code
lists tenant obligations and
if the landlord wants to evict
on the basis of one of those
grounds, the landlord has to
give 30 days notice that they
will terminate the contract
because the tenant has broken
either the leasing agreement
or the statute. After the 30
days, the landlord has to give
three days notice of eviction.
Then, they file the eviction
action on the fourth day, if
the tenant hasnt moved out,
he said.
If the tenant remains in the
dwelling, law enforcement
can become involved to forc-
ibly remove them. For drug
use, eviction can be expe-
dited.
For drug use or drug
trafficking, there is a spe-
cific provision in the law that
allows the landlord to termi-
nate the lease and get the ten-
ant moved out pretty quickly
but a police report or arrest
would be needed. Prior con-
victions wont apply; it would
On July 26, the
ladies held a scramble
with Boecker and Linda
Hilvers as chairpersons.
In the first flight, Ricker
and Betty Schroeder were the
champions, with Kortokrax
and Hellman the runners-
up. Ricker was closest
to the pin and Schroeder
had the longest drive.
In the second flight,
Mary Lou Miller and Alice
Rayman won, with Hilvers
and Boecker in second.
Boecker was closest to the
pin and had the longest drive.
On July 19th, Schroeder
and Rayman chaired a regu-
lar golf outing on the back
nine, with Marilyn Allen
low-gross winner in the first
flight and Schroeder low
net. Jan Sisinger had both
the longest drive and putt.
Swint was low-gross win-
ner and Boecker low net in
the second flight. Boecker
had the longest drive.
Allen, Schroeder
and Shirley Wiltsie
tied for low putts.
For drug use or
drug trafficking,
there is a specific
provision in the
law that allows
the landlord to
terminate the
lease and get the
tenant moved out
pretty quickly but
a police report
or arrest would
be needed. ...

Garage sales continue throughout weekend
The Delphos Canal Commission participated in Thursdays kickoff of the annual
Lincoln Highway Byway Yard Sale at Kreative Learning Preschool. Cindy Maag, left,
and Connie Diemer stopped to peruse the many items commission members had set
aside during the year. Members also volunteered to work the sale and will buy back
any unsold items. All proceeds benefit the commission. The preschool donates its facil-
ity, which enables commission volunteers to bring items early and cool off inside the
air-conditioned facility. Fortunately, Thursdays temperatures were in the high 70s to
low 80s. The annual Lincoln Highway event continues today and Saturday.

MOGADISHU, Somalia Somali
government troops opened fire today on
hungry civilians, killing at least seven
people, as both groups made a grab for
food at a U.N. distribution site in the
capital of this famine-stricken country,
witnesses said.
Witnesses accused government sol-
diers of starting the chaos by trying to
steal some of the 290 tons of dry rations
as the aid workers tried to hand them out
in the biggest camp in Mogadishu for
famine refugees. Then refugees joined in
the scramble, prompting some soldiers to
open fire, the witnesses said.
It was carnage. They ruthlessly shot
everyone, said Abdi Awale Nor, who
has been living at the camp. Even dead
bodies were left on the ground and other
wounded bled to death.
David Orr, a spokesman for the World
Food Program, said the food distribution
started smoothly at around 6 a.m. but
degenerated a couple hours later.
We got reports of trouble, looting.
The trucks were overwhelmed by a mob
of people. There were reports of some
shots fired, said Orr, who said he could
not confirm any death tolls. He said he
didnt know specifically what type of
food was being handed out by the WFP,
a U.N. agency.
Another refugee, Muse Sheik Ali, said
soldiers first tried to steal some of the
food aid, and that other refugees began
to take the food.
Then soldiers opened fire at them,
and seven people, including elderly peo-
ple, were killed on the spot. Then soldiers
took the food and people fled from the
camp, he said.
Thousands of Somalis have flooded
into Mogadishu from the drought-strick-
en south, walking much or all the way
and seeing weakened loved ones perish
from starvation or complications from
malnutrition. The drought and famine in
Somalia have killed more than 29,000
children under the age of 5 in the last 90
days in southern Somalia alone, accord-
ing to U.S. estimates.
Somalia Prime Minister Abdiweli
Mohamed Ali visited the camp after
the violence and said he was deeply
sorry. Ali said an investigation would be
opened and promised harsh punishment
for anyone found guilty.
The already mostly lawless capital
has been made even more chaotic with
the arrival of tens of thousands of refu-
gees fleeing drought in the south, the
famines epicenter. International groups
face huge challenges in distributing food
inside Somalia. The worst-hit part of
the country is a no-go area for most aid
groups because it is controlled by al-
Qaida-linked insurgents, who deny there
is a famine and who have allowed only
the International Committee of the Red
Cross to enter.
More than 12 million people in the
Horn of Africa are in need of immediate
food aid. The U.N. says 640,000 children
are acutely malnourished in Somalia,
where the U.N. has declared five famine
zones, including the refugee camps of
Mogadishu.
Witnesses said two World Food
Program trucks were delivering aid when
the chaos broke out. WFP often tries
to do what it calls wet feedings, in
Somalia giving out already made food
like porridge to limit the chances that
it will be looted. But in this case it was
dry rations, Orr said.
Somali soldiers control just part of the
capital and are poorly trained.
They fired on us as if we were their
enemy, said famine refugee Abidyo
Geddi. When people started to take the
food then the gunfire started and every-
one was being shot. We cannot stay here
much longer. We dont get much food
and the rare food they bring causes death
and torture.

They fired on us as if

to take the food then

(Continued from page 1)
have to be in the last week
or month fairly recent. If
its just people complaining
about drugs, thats generally
not sufficient because the
landlord has to show some
proof when he goes into
court to show possession
of the property should be
returned to him. He doesnt
have to go beyond a reason-
able doubt but he does have
to have some preponderance
of evidence, such as a few
police reports, to establish
the tenant is engaged in drug
use or drug trafficking.
If neighbors believe a
renter is selling drugs from
their apartment and an arrest
hasnt been made, there may
be another possible recourse
because the statute stipu-
lates tenants are not allowed
to disturb their neighbors.
Saying theyre selling
drugs isnt sufficient but if
people are coming in and
out during all hours of the
night, being loud, slamming
car doors, listening to music
loud and hanging out on the
porch or patio at midnight
or 3 a.m. that would be
disturbing the neighbors. If
its a duplex and one tenant
thinks the tenant in the other
apartment is selling drugs
and an arrest hasnt been
made but people are coming
in and out in the middle of
the night and making a lot
of noise, they need to file
complaints with the police.
After at least a few of these
occurrences, the landlord
can terminate tenancy for
disturbing the neighbors.
However, within landlord-
tenant law, neighbors are
defined by those within an
apartment structure. So, the
property owner next door
or across the street wouldnt
be considered a neighbor,
he said.

BEIJING (AP) China
warned residents and alert-
ed emergency relief centers
today to prepare for a power-
ful typhoon forecast to hit the
countrys heavily populated
eastern coast.
Typhoon Muifa is forecast
to hit late Saturday or early
Sunday close to Shanghai, a
commercial hub with a popu-
lation of 23 million. Residents
were warned to take precau-
tions to prevent injuries and
losses, the website of the
Shanghai Daily newspaper
reported.
More than 9,000 fishing
vessels were called back to
ports in Zhejiang and Fujian
provinces while officials in
charge of disaster relief cen-
ters in the region were told
to get ready to disperse their
materials, said the official
Xinhua News Agency.
Zhejiangs flood headquar-
ters told authorities in coastal
areas to prepare for evacua-
tions, Xinhua said.
Shanghais two airports
expect major flight delays and
numerous cultural activities
were called off for the week-
end, including a beach music
festival, Shanghais Eastday.
com news portal said.
An emergency message
from the U.S. government to
Americans living or travel-
ing in East China suggested
they stock up on emergency
supplies of food, water, and
cash in case of storm-related
power outages.
Typhoon Muifa dusted
Taiwans northern edges with
light rain and moderate winds
earlier today. It is expected to
hit between northern Zhejiang
and southern Jiangsu prov-
inces late Saturday or early
Sunday and then skim the
coast to the north, Chinas
Central Meteorological
Administration said.
The administration issued
its highest alert yet this year
due to the storm, which was
packing winds of 102 mph
(162 kph). It said the storm
likely would intensify as it
neared Chinas coast.
Chinas National Marine
Environmental Forecasting
Center warned Muifa could
churn up 36 foot (11 meter)
high waves in the East China
Sea and 16 foot (five meter)
waves off the coast.
Shanghai rail authorities
planned inspections of local
high-speed rail networks and
warned that some services
could be halted or delayed
depending on the storms
severity, Xinhua said.
A train crash last month
near Shanghai killed 40 peo-
ple. Officials initially said a
lightning strike stalled one
train, which was struck by
another, but results of the
accident investigation have
not yet been released.
North Koreas state news
agency reported late today
some parts of the country
would get heavy rains from
the typhoon between Monday
and Tuesday. Flooding in
recent weeks has caused
deaths and damage to homes
and farmland in the impover-
ished country.

COLUMBUS (AP)
Ohio State University plans to
expand its safety alert system
for informing people about
emergencies on the main
Columbus campus.
The states largest institu-
tion of higher learning now
notifies people via text mes-
sage but only if theyve signed
up for the service, called
Buckeye Alerts.
University Director of
Emergency Management Bob
Armstrong tells The Columbus
Dispatch Ohio State will
move in the coming weeks to
a new system that will alert all
students, faculty and staff
unless they opt out.
The current service noti-
fied more than 30,000 people
on Wednesday that a man with
a knife had tried to abduct
two women new Ohio State
University Medical Center. A
suspect was arrested Thursday
and charged with one count
each of kidnapping and
attempted kidnapping.
COLUMBUS (AP) An
Ohio church that got an athe-
ist billboard removed from its
property now has been told it
must starting paying taxes on
the ad space.
Rev. Waymon Malone of
Christ Cathedral Church in
Columbus complained earlier
this summer about a billboard
put up by the Freedom From
Religion Foundation with the
message, I can be good with-
out God.
The Columbus Dispatch
reports the foundation tipped
off the county auditor that the
church wasnt paying taxes on
the land it rents out to the bill-
board company. A spokesman
for the auditor says the church
will have to pay a tax of about
$185 a year.
Malone says he didnt think
he owed any tax because he
had been donating the bill-
board income to the church.
COLUMBUS (AP) A
liberal policy group has until
today to decide whether to
challenge petitions supporting
a fall ballot measure offering
Ohioans a chance to opt out of
portions of the national health
care overhaul.
ProgressOhio launched
an independent review of
more than 546,000 signa-
tures collected by Ohioans
for Healthcare Freedom,
the assortment of tea party
organizations, small govern-
ment advocates and religious
groups that backs the amend-
ment. Executive Director
Brian Rothenberg said initial
findings suggested as many as
20 percent of petitions were
flawed.
Secretary of State Jon
Husted last week certified the
issue for the Nov. 8 ballot, rul-
ing 427,000 of its signatures
valid. That was well over the
roughly 358,000 needed.
If a challenge is success-
ful, the measures proponents
would have 10 days to collect
more signatures.

COLUMBUS In its
first meeting on Thursday,
the body tasked with redraw-
ing Ohios legislative map
rejected a proposal by its
sole Democratic member
to give the public time to
weigh in on any changes
before lawmakers approve
them.
House Minority Leader
Armond Budish, the only
Democrat on the five-mem-
ber Ohio Apportionment
Board, said the citizens
throughout Ohio should be
given the chance to voice
their opinions not only dur-
ing the process of redrawing
district boundaries, but after
a proposal was drafted.
His proposal reflected
requests by citizen groups
during recent hearings for
more transparency in the
map-making process,
including a chance to review
maps before they were
approved. It was part of a
larger amendment rejected
in a 3-2 vote.
I think it will work to
the disadvantage of Ohio
voters, Budish said. In my
view, unless the rules are
changed, the public will not
have a chance to comment
on an actual plan.
Rob Nichols, a spokes-
man for Gov. John Kasich,
who chairs the board, said
it was infinitely more
valuable to have the pub-
lic engaged at the start
of the process than at the
11th hour when the ink is
already dry. The board has
planned 11 public hearings
throughout the state to take
place between Aug. 22 and
26.
Budish joins Kasich, Jon
Husted, Auditor David Yost
and Senate President Tom
Niehaus, all Republicans,
on the board, which redraws
legislative district boundar-
ies every 10 years after a
census. Because of popu-
lation loss, Ohio is losing
two of its 18 congressional
seats.
The minority leader also
introduced a measure to
have to more Democrats on
the board, though those new
members would not have
voting rights. He said he
wanted to ensure bipartisan-
ship in a new map by requir-
ing at least one board mem-
ber from the minority party
to approve any proposal.
The measure failed on a
4-1 vote; if it had passed,
it would have effectively
given Budish veto power
over any proposal.
His measure to increase
participation by the minor-
ity part echoes a 2009 joint
resolution passed by then-
Sen. Husted. Husted voted
against Budishs proposal.
A spokesman for the sec-
retary of state could not be
reached for comment.
During the meeting,
Husted unveiled an initiative
designed to increase public
input. When it is launched,
the website RedrawOhio.
org will allow citizens to
draw their own legislative
districts based on popula-
tion data. Maps submitted
before the Aug. 22 deadline
will be taken into consider-
ation when the board draws
its map, Husted said.
The public will have
unprecedented access to the
same type of tools we have
to draw maps, he said. The
software on the website will
be the same used by the
board to draw Ohios map.
The Ohio Campaign for
Accountable Redistricting
launched a competition and
similar website, www.draw-
thelineohio.org, last month.
The group plans on sub-
mitting maps drawn by its
citizen cartographers to the
board for consideration as
well.

Tax owed by

over atheist ad
By LISA CORNWELL
Associated Press
CINCINNATI The par-
tial shutdown of the Federal
Aviation Administration
threatened to hold up proj-
ects at Ohio airports and
affect more than 200 workers,
although Congress announced
a bipartisan compromise
Thursday bringing hope that
the two-week old shutdown
would end soon.
The shutdown after
Congress failed to pass a tem-
porary appropriation for the
FAA furloughed about 4,000
employees nationwide and
halted more than 200 con-
struction projects across the
country, affecting an esti-
mated 70,000 private-sector
workers. With the compro-
mise, the Senate is expected to
vote on a House measure.
In Ohio, the partial shut-
down has delayed funding
for four projects the Akron-
Canton Airport hoped to start
this year and threatened to
stall runway improvement
work at Cleveland Hopkins
International Airport. It also
has led Dayton International
Airport officials to pull back
on a $5.5 million ramp recon-
struction project there.
The president and CEO of
the Akron-Canton Airport told
The Associated Press that one
of the four projects affected
by the shutdown involves a
$1.3 million expansion of the
passenger security screening
area. Rick McQueen said the
project is so important that
the airport is dipping into its
cash reserves so the work can
proceed.
The other projects to
update the airports mas-
ter plan, design pavement
upgrades, and build a new
aircraft rescue and firefight-
ing facility are on hold,
affecting 80-120 workers,
McQueen said.
Its impacting a lot of
jobs, a lot of peoples lives
right now, and I think that
thats going to add additional
pressure to have (Congress)
come to a much quicker reso-
lution, he said.
Money will run out today
for work to improve a cross-
wind runway at Cleveland
Hopkins International Airport.
Ricky Smith, director of that
citys Department of Port
Control, told The Plain Dealer
of Cleveland.
Port Control spokeswom-
an Jackie Mayo told The
Associated Press that an esti-
mated 70 to 80 workers on
that $48 million project would
be affected. The partial shut-
down already has delayed the
start of construction of a new
$30 million air traffic con-
trol tower at Hopkins and a
$473,000 project to resurface
the runway apron at Burke
Lakefront Airport in down-
town Cleveland, Mayo said.
Dayton International
Airport is using its own
reserves to fund about $5 mil-
lion in airfield improvements
already under construction,
but obviously we are not cer-
tain when we will be reim-
bursed, Director of Aviation
Terrence Slaybaugh said.
We also have about five-
and-a-half million in construc-
tion that we just stopped, he
told the AP.
Slaybaugh said that ramp
reconstruction delay affects
about 20 workers.
Officials at Toledo Express
Airport and at Columbus and
Cincinnati airports expect no
immediate impact from the
partial shutdown, and no con-
struction projects or workers
will be affected for now.
Certainly we hope this
is cleared up sooner, versus
later, Angie Tabor, a spokes-
woman for Port Columbus
International Airport said.

NEW YORK (AP) Two
Fox News Channel analysts
said Thursday they were jok-
ing when they spoke on the
air about going easy on fellow
Fox employee Sarah Palin.
The comments by Greg
Gutfeld and Bob Beckel were
taken seriously and given wide
circulation after being made on
Wednesdays edition of The
Five, the summer replace-
ment series for Glenn Beck.
The talk shows Monica
Crowley introduced a segment
showing Palin angrily taking
on critics of the tea party.
I say, Amen, sister,
Crowley said before asking
other panelists how they felt.
Gutfeld said that the only
problem talking about Sarah
Palin is that she works here
and its like a co-worker. And
if I say something bad and I
see her in the hallway I feel
really awkward and wrong. So
I just kind of say, That was a
good job.
Beckel, a longtime
Democratic strategist and 1984
campaign manager for Walter
Mondale, immediately picked
up on Gutfelds comment.
It has nothing to do with
that, he said. It has every-
thing to do with your paycheck.
Thats why you feel awkward
about it. I know exactly what
you mean. Many times, Ill be
honest, Ive pulled my punch-
es on it.
The only indication he
wasnt serious came when
Beckel then proceeded to
criticize Palin. The former
Republican vice presidential
candidate had defended the tea
party after there were sugges-
tions they acted like terror-
ists in the debt ceiling debate.
Beckel noted that a campaign-
ing Palin had questioned the
patriotism of Democrats.
I was playing off what
Greg was saying, Beckel said
in an interview Thursday, not-
ing that its a mandate of pro-
ducers to try to be funny on
The Five. People are so
sensitive.
Beckel said that nobody at
Fox had ever asked him to go
easy on anyone, adding, Id
punch them out if they did.
Gutfeld is host of Foxs
satirical late-night show Red
Eye. He said that hes met
Palin only once and that hed
have little opportunity to
see her at Foxs New York
headquarters since the former
Alaska governor and 2008
vice presidential candidate
does most of her appearances
on the network from a studio
in Alaska.
It was clearly a joke that
should be apparent to anyone
who watches Red Eye, he
said.
I dont pull punches, he
said. Ive been fired from
some jobs for not pulling
punches. Asked for details,
he said, Check my Wikipedia
page. Gutfeld has lost editing
jobs at Mens Health, Stuff
and Maxim UK.
When a clip of their
Wednesday discussion was
posted on the Mediaite web-
site, it was spread by reporters
on Twitter and was the subject
of stories taking the comments
seriously on Politico and the
Huffington Post. CNN referred
to it in its news crawl.
Palin has said she will
decide later this summer
whether she is running for
president next year. Fox termi-
nated contracts with contribu-
tors Newt Gingrich and Rick
Santorum after they took steps
to run for president.

KIMBERLY HEFLING
Associated Press
WASHINGTON From
the helicopters they fly to
the base housing where their
children sleep at night, U.S
troops and their families
are directly affected by the
prospect of deep cuts in the
Pentagons budget, which
surely will shrink over the
coming decade as the military
closes out two wars, trims
its ranks and possibly chops
some budget-busting weap-
ons systems.
And the troops concerns
dont end when they take off
the uniform: Many retirees
are dependent on the mili-
tarys health insurance. With
Defense Secretary Leon
Panettas blunt acknowl-
edgment this week that the
Pentagon has to do its part
to meet the public clamor
for deficit reduction, theres
much angst among the uni-
formed services.
Reflecting the widespread
demand for more fiscal
responsibility in Washington,
the compromise debt deal
that President Barack Obama
reached with Congress and
signed Tuesday will slice
$350 billion from projected
military spending over the
next 10 years. And it leaves
open the possibility of up
to $500 billion in additional
reductions.
In his first Pentagon news
conference Thursday, Panetta
described a reduction of near-
ly $1 trillion as a doomsday
scenario that would mean
dangerous across-the-board
defense cuts that would do
real damage to our security,
our troops and their fami-
lies and our ability to protect
the nation. Panetta, who was
White House budget chief in
the Clinton administration,
called the cuts completely
unacceptable and vowed to
fight them.
People expect the mili-
tary to provide for our secu-
rity, Panetta told reporters.
In sounding the alarm,
Panetta is pressuring
Democrats and Republicans
alike to consider making
concessions on their core
priorities entitlement pro-
grams such as Medicare and
Social Security defended by
Democrats and increases in
taxes resisted by Republicans
before taking a knife to
defense.
Military families, who
have struggled with the death,
injuries and separations asso-
ciated with a decade of war
since the Sept. 11, 2001,
terrorist attacks, are now
increasingly fretting about
such things as possible per-
sonnel cuts and the prospect
of stretching a smaller force
to fit whatever new conflicts
or other challenges arise.
At Thursdays news con-
ference, Panetta and Adm.
Mike Mullen, chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, did
not rule out the possibility of
personnel cuts to a military
that has expanded to fight the
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The defense leaders could
offer few details about what
potential cuts may mean for
operations and benefits pro-
grams popular in military
circles.
Military service mem-
bers, veterans and their fami-
lies are not only ... going
through the economic uncer-
tainty with everyone else,
but we have 10 years of war
on top of that, said Kelly
Hruska, government relations
deputy director at the National
Military Family Association
in Alexandria, Va.
Anthony Adams, 43, a
Navy chief warrant officer
based at Tinker Air Force Base
near Oklahoma City who was
attending the National Naval
Officers Association meeting
in San Diego, said he hopes
policymakers are keeping in
mind the sacrifices military
members have made.
They assume everything
is taken care of, but some-
one has been in harms way
while people have been reap-
ing all the benefits of it, said
Adams, who is preparing to
retire.
Marine Lt. Col. Gilbert
Warner, who is based in
Okinawa, Japan, said every-
one is worried about whats
ahead.
I mean who wouldnt
be? said Warner, who also
was attending the naval offi-
cers meeting. First, Im con-
cerned about the resources
being available to service
members, and, second, the
benefits for the retired.
Mullen pointed out that the
military has a crowded must-
do list: the two wars, support
for the NATO-led operation
in Libya, disaster relief mis-
sions in Haiti and Japan, and
defense of national interests.
Angst in military
over Pentagon cuts
By JOAN LOWY
Associated Press
WASHINGTON
Congress has reached a
bipartisan compromise to end
the two-week partial shut-
down of the Federal Aviation
Administration that has idled
74,000 federal employees and
construction workers and cost
the government about $30
million a day in uncollected
airline ticket taxes, Senate
Democratic leader Harry
Reid said Thursday.
The deal would allow the
Senate to approve a House
bill extending the FAAs
operating authority through
mid-September, including
a provision that eliminates
$16.5 million in air service
subsidies to 13 rural com-
munities. A vote on the bill is
expected today.
Republicans had insisted
on the subsidy cuts as their
price for restoring the FAA
to full operation. But the cuts
may become moot.
The bill includes language
that gives the transportation
secretary the authority to con-
tinue subsidized service to the
13 communities if he decides
its necessary.
Democrats said they
expect the administration to
effectively waive or negate
the cuts.
I just know that the White
House has provided assuranc-
es that they (the communities)
will be held harmless, said
a Senate Democratic leader-
ship aide who asked not to
be named because he wasnt
authorized to speak publicly
about the deal.
The shutdown began when
much of Washington was
transfixed by the stalemate
over raising the governments
debt ceiling. During that time,
the FAA furloughed 4,000
workers but kept air traffic
controllers and most safety
inspectors on the job. Forty
airport safety inspectors
worked without pay, picking
up their own travel expens-
es. Some 70,000 workers on
construction-related jobs on
airport projects from Palm
Springs, Calif., to New York
City were idled as the FAA
couldnt pay for the work.
But airline passengers in
the busy travel season hardly
noticed any changes. Airlines
continued to work as nor-
mal, but they were no longer
authorized to collect federal
ticket taxes at a rate of $30
million a day. For a few lucky
ticket buyers, prices dropped.
But for the vast majority,
nothing changed because air-
lines raised their base prices
to match the tax.
Some passengers will now
be eligible for refunds if they
bought their tickets before
July 23 and their travel took
place during the shutdown.
As the debt ceiling crisis
passed and Congress headed
home for its August recess
without resolving the stand-
off, President Barack Obama
spoke out Wednesday and
Transportation Secretary Ray
LaHood urged Congress to
return to deal with the issues.
Obama expressed dismay that
Congress would allow up to
$1.2 billion in tax revenue to
go out the door the amount
that could have been lost by
the time lawmakers return in
September.
Reid announced the deal
Thursday afternoon, saying it
would put 74,000 transporta-
tion and construction workers
back to work.
Reid: Compromise in hand to reopen FAA

WASHINGTON Hiring
picked up slightly in July
and the unemployment rate
dipped to 9.1 percent. The
modest improvement may
quiet fears of another reces-
sion after the worst losses on
Wall Street in nearly three
years.
Employers added 117,000
jobs last month, the Labor
Department said today.
Thats better than the past
two months, which were also
revised higher.
Businesses added 154,000
jobs across many industries.
Governments cut 37,000 jobs
last month. Still, 23,000 of
those lofell more than 500
points. Stock future turned
positive today after the report
was released. The report
should lessen fears that the
recovery is truly faltering,
said Jim OSullivan, chief
economist at MF Global.
Still, the economy needs
twice as many net jobs per
month to rapidly reduce
unemployment. The rate has
topped 9 percent in every
month except two since the
recession officially ended in
June 2009.
sses were almost entirely
because of the shutdown of
Minnesotas state govern-
ment.
The unemployment rate
fell from 9.2 percent in June
partly because some unem-
ployed workers stopped look-
ing for work. That means
they are no longer counted as
unemployed.
As a result, the number
of unemployed people fell to
13.9 million, down from 14.1
million. Still, thats nearly
double the total before the
recession.
The participation rate,
which measures the per-
centage of people working
or searching for jobs, fell to
63.9 percent, the lowest in
27 years.
The report follows a string
of gloomy data that shows
the economy has weakened
since last year.
The economy expanded at
a meager 0.8 percent annual
rate in the first six months
of this year, the slowest pace
since the recession offi-
cially ended. Manufacturers
are barely growing. Service
companies are growing at the
weakest pace in a year and a
half. Consumers cut spend-
ing in June for the first time
in 20 months, and they saved
more.
High gas prices and
scant wage increases have
squeezed U.S. consumers this
year. And consumer spending
accounts for 70 percent of
economic activity.
Businesses have respond-
ed by cutting hiring after a
strong start in which they
added an average of 215,000
jobs a month from February
through April.
But the government
revised the previous two
months totals to show hir-
ing wasnt as weak as first
estimated.
The economy added
53,000 in May, up from an
earlier estimate of 25,000,
and 46,000 in June, up from
18,000. Junes total was still
the weakest in nine months.
Hiring in July was
broad-based. Manufacturers
added 24,000 jobs in July,
as auto companies laid off
fewer workers in July than
usual. Retailers hired a net
total of 26,000 employees.
Employment in health care
grew 31,000. Hotels and res-
taurants added 17,000.
Workers did see some pay
gains last month. Average
hourly wages rose 10 cents
to $23.13.
Unemployment rate dips, economy adds 117K jobs

The Delphos Fire Department hosted a tour of the department and squad room on
July 30 for karate students from Champion Karate Center in Fort Jennings. Twenty-
one students, siblings, friends and parents attended. Firefighter/Paramedic Cory
Meyer, above, taught the children about fire safety. Meyer allowed the children to see
and explore the fire trucks and ambulances, learning about which vehicles responded
to different emergencies. They also toured the firemens living quarters, kitchen,
game room, radio room, squad room, and EMT office area. Volunteer Fireman
Mike Johnson, below, dressed in full turnout gear to show the children what a fire-
man would look like if he were rescuing them. Johnson also demonstrated how fast a
fireman must put all his equipment on. The children were thrilled to hear the sirens
and voice commands on the ambulance loud speaker. They were given coloring story
books, stickers, and pencils.

COLUMBUS The Ohio
High School Athletic Association
Board of Directors met Thursday
in Columbus for its first meeting
of the 2011-12 school year.
The following are highlights
from the meeting. The
complete set of meeting
minutes will be posted
later at OHSAA.org.
- The Board voted
unanimously to move
the 2011 cross country
state finals to National
Trail Raceway in Hebron
from its previous home
at Scioto Downs Racetrack in
Columbus. Crowds in excess of
10,000 have annually attended
the finals during its 26-year stay
at Scioto Downs, making it the
largest attended cross country
event in the nation. The 2011
finals will be held Nov. 5 and
include three girls races and three
boys races. Additional details
will be provided later.
- The Board approved the
2011-12 school membership
list, which includes 826 mem-
ber high schools. One new
school was admitted (Columbus
International, part of Columbus
Public Schools), while two
schools did not renew member-
ship (Youngstown Chaney and
Barnesville Olney Friends).
- Three schools were recently
penalized for violating OHSAA
bylaws or regulations. The list
of schools and their infractions
and penalties will be included
in the complete meeting minutes
posted at OHSAA.org.
- More than 140 school admin-
istrators attended the OHSAAs
New Administrators Workshop
Tuesday in Columbus, where
OHSAA bylaws and regula-
tions were explained. The annual
workshop is a beneficial resource
for attendees and is often attend-
ed by veteran administrators.
- The Board approved the
spring sports divisional align-
ment and representation. These
breakdowns will be posted at
OHSAA.org (under Member
Schools) and will be reflected in
each schools information within
myOHSAA by Aug. 15.
- A policy for the use of
motorized golf carts
by disabled spectators
during OHSAA tour-
nament contests was
approved by the Board
and will be posted on
the golf web site at
OHSAA.org.
- The OHSAA Joint
Advisory Committee
on Sports Medicine has select-
ed its 2011 Outstanding Team
Physician Awards. The two
recipients are Dr. Carl Berasi
from Columbus St. Francis
DeSales High School and Dr.
David Mouch from Cincinnati
LaSalle High School. Of note, the
OHSAA was the first state asso-
ciation to have a Joint Advisory
Committee on Sports Medicine.
- The financial reports for the
2011 ice hockey and wrestling
state tournaments were presented
to the Board. The ice hockey
state tournament (four teams,
held at Nationwide Arena) drew
a total of 3,349 fans and oper-
ated at a loss of $13,633. The
wrestling state tournament (five
sessions held over three days at
the Jerome Schottenstein Center)
drew a total of 61,856 fans and
provided a profit of $134,769. Of
note, the attendance at the state
wrestling tournament has fallen
each of the last nine years after
peaking at 75,582 in 2003.
- The regional and state tour-
nament officials calculations
were presented to the Board. The
OHSAA proportionally assigns
officials to regional and state
tournaments based on how many
Class 1 officials reside in each
of the six districts. Of note, there
are more than 16,000 officials

KALIDA Kalida golf
coach Ken Schnipke has been
the leader for the Wildcat
program for 15 years.
He begins his 16th year at
the helm today earlier than
most teams in a tri-match
versus Fremont and Liberty-
Benton with five letterwin-
ners back from a 7-4 dual-
meet edition of a year ago.
He brings back five start-
ers from that team. Leading
the pack are third-year juniors
Neil
Recker, Cody Mathew
and Austin Horstman, along
with second-year senior Eric
Kahle and veteran sophomore
Jarrod Stober.
Were going to
be an experienced
team and a hard-
working team; we
are going to have
to work on all parts
of the game since
were not really
strong at any one
thing. I think we can be very
competitive by the end of
the season if we stay focused
on what needs to be done,
Schnipke acknowledged.
He does have to replace
two players lost via gradu-
ation: Logan
Recker and
Chris Adams.
H o w e v e r ,
he is especially
looking to some
promising new-
comers to the
varsity ranks to
step in and add
depth to the Wildcat roster:
sophomore Adam Langhals,
freshman Zach Erhart, fresh-
man Brady Mathew and
ninth-grader Noah Verhoff.
They, along with junior
Ben Cleemput, junior
Damon Birkemeier, junior
Taylor Aguirre and sopho-
more Dylon Hoffman, give
Schnipke a lot of options to
fill in the blanks.
As for Putnam County
League aspirations, Until
someone beats Ottoville they
are the favorites.
(Team picture will be in
the Fall Tabloid coming out
August 25.)
Schnipkes linksters primed for 2011 run
By MICHAEL MAROT
INDIANAPOLIS Kurt
Warner understood what
made the Greatest Show on
Turf work.
It wasnt his strong, accu-
rate arm or those speedy
receivers who stretched
defenses to the limit. No, the
Rams secret weapon was
Marshall Faulks uncanny
mind.
He was designing plays
and coming up with thoughts
that would make our team
better, not just make him bet-
ter, Warner said of the new-
est Rams inductee into the
Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Mike Martz allowed all of
us to have some input in what
was happening and Marshall
always had ideas about how
certain things could be bet-
ter, how to run routes, how
to do this or that. You never
knew where it came from
but I knew he was a big
part of helping develop that
offense.
Faulk always saw things
differently -- on and off the
field.
He left the tough streets of
New Orleans ninth ward for
the sunny skies of San Diego
because he was determined to
play running back in college.
Still, he never forgot about
his roots in the impoverished
Desire housing project where
he grew up.
And while others touted
his incredible skills, Faulk
never thought the NFL was
a real possibility until his
freshman season at San Diego
State. Even the thought of
becoming a part of footballs
greatest shrine was, well,
incomprehensible.
Thats how Faulk viewed
football, as a small part of
life.
There is a celebra-
tion aspect to it, he said
of Saturdays induction cer-
emony in Canton, Ohio. But
going in is really more of an
acknowledgment that kids in
poverty, in their situations,
can get out of it and it doesnt
always come from sports.
Football was Faulks
escape but it was the lessons
he learned in New Orleans
that propelled him to stardom.
He believed in himself. He
wanted to prove the doubters
wrong. He had an unquench-
able thirst for knowledge,
learning the high school play-
book through every position
on the field.
So when the big schools
questioned whether the kid
from George Washington
Carver High School could
play running back in college,
Faulk followed his heart to
the one the school that would
give him a chance. It didnt
take long to prove himself.
In his second college game,
Faulk ran for a mind-blowing
386 yards and seven touch-
downs against the University
of Pacific. He finished his
freshman season with 1,429
yards, 21 touchdowns and
an average of 7.1 yards per
carry. He was ninth in the
Heisman Trophy voting.
It was no fluke. As a
sophomore, Faulk produced
1,758 yards from scrimmage,
15 total touchdowns and was
the Heisman runner-up. A
year later, he ran for 1,530
yards and 21 TDs and caught
47 passes. He finished with
2,174 yards from scrimmage
that season and was fourth in
the Heisman voting.
By then, Faulk realized
he would earn millions in the
NFL. He also started contem-
plating the bigger picture, like
how he wanted to play in the
NFL and how he would be
perceived in the real world.
Current Colts owner Jim
Irsay loved what he saw in
Faulk, who changed the game
with his nifty cuts, sheer
quickness and ability to catch
the ball out of the backfield.
Indianapolis liked Faulk
so much it used the No. 2
overall pick on Faulk, who
brought immediate star power
to a team in need of a new
image. But it was his brain
that allowed him to excel.
He won the 1994
Offensive Rookie of the Year
Award, topped 1,000 yards
four times, made three Pro
Bowls and led the Colts to
back-to-back playoff appear-
ances for the first time in
nearly two decade. Then, in
1998, he started mentoring
another New Orleans native,
rookie quarterback Peyton
Manning.
P a i r i n g
the mind of
M a r s h a l l
with the mind
of Manning
seemed like a
perfect match.
Though Faulk
played pranks
on the rookie,
they were all
business when it mattered.
Faulk said he taught Manning
how to deal with the media,
how to adapt to the NFL
game and, together, they
read defenses. In fact,
Faulk lined up deeper in
the backfield just to see the
defenses better.
But after that one season
with Manning and a sec-
ond straight 3-13 record,
a frustrated Faulk worried
the Colts rebuilding proj-
ect didnt include him.
When he asked for a
new contract, with two
years still left on his rookie
deal, the Colts refused and
traded him to the Rams.
Bill Polian still calls it one
of the toughest decisions
hes ever made.
At first, his new Rams
teammates werent sure
what Faulk would bring to
the team.
I think originally
before we even knew
much of Marshall, I think
everybody got the take that
he wasnt really happy in
Indy and wasnt getting the
ball enough. So that was our
initial response, Weve got
this superstar, how do we
keep him happy? Warner
recalled. It didnt take long
to realize whatever happened
in Indianapolis stayed in
Indianapolis because he was
the ultimate team player. All
he wanted was our team to
be good.
While teammates were
busy trying to keep Faulk
happy, the coaching staff
devised a whole new way
to play the game that suited
Faulks dual-threat abilities
perfectly.
Martz, the offensive coor-
dinator, told Faulk they didnt
want to wear him down with
300 carries a year. So the
Rams were going to create
mismatches with Faulk in the
passing game and let him
use his running skills
to break free. When
defenses tried to
adapt, Faulk simply
adjusted on the fly.
The results were
incredible: An NFL
record three straight
seasons with 500-
plus points, two
Super Bowl appear-
ances in three seasons and
an improbable Super Bowl
title in Faulks first season
in St. Louis. Warner won the
leagues MVP award twice
during that stretch. Faulk
won it once.
But the team MVP all
three years was Faulk in a
landslide.
Off the field, Faulk became
more than just a football icon
in St. Louis.
He was a fan favorite
with a special affinity for the
city and area. Hes donated
more than $500,000 to help
St. Louis youth programs,
still has a home in the city
and says hes still a Rams
fan. Faulks newest effort is
assisting with an animal res-
cue and disaster relief effort
to help the tornado victims
from Joplin, Mo.
His charitable foundation
is supportive of the Ninth
Ward Field of Dreams proj-
ect in his hometown and the
Aztec Club in San Diego.
And though his incredible
stats -- 12,279 yards rushing,
19,154 total yards and 136
career touchdowns -- will
define his professional life,
Faulk insists it was never
about the numbers or even
the Hall of Fame.
He just wanted to be an
example for everyone else.
Faulks brilliant mind took him to Hall of Fame

By DOUG FERGUSON
AKRON Tiger Woods
appeared to face a big test
Thursday in his return to
golf.
It was a 3-wood around
the trees on the 658-yard 16th
hole at Firestone that required
him to go at it hard, cut short
his back swing to produce
the sharp fade, then let the
momentum of his motion
carry his body forward with
an awkward step.
Only it didnt feel like that
big of a deal to Woods.
His only concern in the
Bridgestone Invitational was
that he hit the ball too flush
and too far. He still man-
aged three birdies, including a
30-foot putt on the 16th hole,
that carried him to a 2-under
68 and sent a strong statement
that his leg was as healthy as
he thought.
His game wasnt half bad,
either.
It feels great, Woods
said. As anybody whos been
off and whos been injured,
first time back its a little
nervous to see what happens.
But my practice sessions were
good, so theres no reason
why I should be worried out
there. I went out there and let
it go, let it rip and see what
happens.
His ex-caddie saw some
familiar golf at Firestone, too.
Steve Williams, now
working permanently for
Adam Scott after Woods fired
him a month ago, watched
the Australian play flawless
in matching his career-low
round on the PGA Tour with
a 62 that gave Scott a 1-shot
lead over Jason Day.
Williams was on the bag
for all seven of Woods wins
at Firestone, including his
11-shot win in 2000 when
Woods had a 61 in the second
round and set the tournament
record at 259.
He didnt think it was a
big deal to shoot 62, Scott
said with a grin. It was nor-
mal.
Despite all the interest
about Woods return, there
was nothing special about his
score, even if it was his lowest
opening round this year.
The conditions were so
soft and calm that 39 players
in the 78-man field broke par,
a record number for any round
in the 12 years this World
Golf Championship has been
played on Firestone South.
The scoring average was
69.63, the lowest since the
opening round in 2001. Scott,
who birdied four of his last six
holes, had the lowest opening
round ever at Firestone.
Day, who tied for second
with Scott at the Masters,
shot a 63 in the morning.
Nick Watney, a World Golf
Championship winner at
Doral this year, bogeyed the
last hole and still had a 65.
Even so, this day was pri-
marily about one score and
one player.
The attention on Woods
was so great that when he
stepped onto the first tee, the
gallery lined the entire right
side of the 401-yard open-
ing hole and wrapped around
the green. Phil Mickelson was
wrapping up his round of 67
at No. 9 and when the fans
around the green and in the
grandstands had their backs
turned to watch Woods tee
off.
Woods injured a knee liga-
ment and his Achilles tendon
at the Masters on April 10 and
then said he returned too early
at The Players Championship.
He aggravated the injuries
on the first hole at the TPC
Sawgrass and quit after nine
holes at 6-over par. He added
he would not play again until
he was fully healthy and that
much showed at Firestone.
It took great effort to get
atop the leaderboard.
Day went out early and
posted a bogey-free round
of 63, making birdie on the
last hole. No one else from
the morning group was bet-
ter than a 66. And then it
was Scotts turn in the after-
noon. He thought 63 was a
pretty low score for this South
course but then figured it was
there for the taking with so
many other scores in the 60s.
I just feel like I need to get
myself in these things from
Thursday, show up and go,
not show up and see how you
get on the first nine, Scott
said. I feel like thats a good
way for me to go because
Im hitting the ball well and
I feel really confident on the
greens. It was green light and
just attack.
Thai girl extends lead to
10 at Junior PGA
FORT WAYNE, Ind.
Ariya Jutanugarn of Thailand
shot a competitive course
record of 6-under 66 at
Sycamore Hills Golf Club for
a 10-stroke lead heading into
the final round of the 36th
Junior PGA Championship.
She is at 13 under, while
Mariah Stackhouse of
Riverdale, Ga., is second after
shooting 73.
Cody Proveaux of Leesville,
S.C., shot a 67 to take the boys
lead at 7 under, three strokes
ahead of Phoenixs Zachary
Wright, who shot 77.
Jutanugarns round, which
included six birdies, was
one stroke better than the
score posted here by Kathy
Hartwiger of Birmingham,
Ala., in the 2009 United States
Golf Association Womens
State Team Championship.
Jutanugarn is chasing the
tournament record of 17-under
271, set by Aree Song, also
of Thailand, in 1999 at PGA
National.

The Herald 7 Friday, August 5, 2011
Its a question that can cause tension and
tears in a circle of home-school moms in a
Bible Belt church fellowship hall.
Its a question that can have the same
jarring impact in a circle of feminist moth-
ers in a Manhattan coffee shop.
Here it is: Will you buy your daugh-
ter a Barbie doll? Other questions follow
in the wake of this one, linked to clothes,
self-esteem, cellphones, makeup, reality
TV shows and the entire commercialized
princess culture.
The Barbie question is not uniquely re-
ligious, which is one reason why it can be
so symbolic for mothers and daughters in
liberal as well as conservative circles.
Yet questions about religion, morality,
health, culture, education, sexuality and,
of course, family values loom in the
background, noted Naomi Schaefer Riley,
a former Wall Street Journal editor who is
best known for her writing on faith, educa-
tion and the lives of modern young people.
Many parents simply worry about the pow-
erful forces that keep pushing their daugh-
ters -- as experts put it -- to grow older,
younger.
Mothers are divided on this whole is-
sue and some can get very upset just talk-
ing about it. Yet others are not upset, not-
ed Riley. Youll see all kinds of women,
religious and nonreligious, who are taking
their 6-year-old daughters to get manicures
and to get their hair done, trying to look
pretty just like the girls on TV and in all
the magazines.
Then there are women who are the to-
tal opposite of all that. They may be evan-
gelical Christians or they may be feminists,
but they see this as an attack on what they
believe.
Barbie dolls are not the only products
that dene this dilemma, but they are high-
ly symbolic. In an essay for the journal
Books & Culture, Riley noted the power
of a story recounted in Cinderella Ate My
Daughter: Dispatches from the Front Lines
of the New Girlie-Girl Culture, a book by
feminist Peggy Orenstein. The anecdote
begins with her lmmaker husband ap-
proving a Barbie purchase for their young
daughter.
I demanded that he take it away from
her. She started to cry. So I gave it back,
wrote Orenstein.
The parents argued some more and the
Barbie went back on the Target shelf.
At that point the debate evolved into a
clash over quality. Orenstein explained: I
promised I would get her a well-made Bar-
bie instead, perhaps a Cleopatra Barbie I
had seen on eBay, which, at the very least,
was not white or blond and had something
to offer besides high-heeled feet. As if the
ankh pendant and peculiar tan made it all
okay.
The daughter began crying and said,
Never mind, Mama. ... I dont need it.
Many mothers will tear up reading those
lines, said Riley, because the scene is so
familiar and can be triggered by so many
products in shopping malls and just about
anywhere on cable television. Moms may
be urged to buy a pink Ouija board (Who
will text me next?) or a Monopoly Pink
Boutique Edition. They can dive into the
parallel universe of Disney Princess prod-
ucts for toddlers, tweens, teens and young
women (Disney Bridal Gowns: Have a
Disney Princess Wedding). The list goes
on and on.
Then there are the television shows. Ri-
ley, who has a 4-year-old daughter, noted
that the style and content are essentially the
same -- whether the stars are preschoolers
or aged veterans such as Miley Cyrus or
Katy Perry. These shows lead young view-
ers into the world of reality television, with
offerings ranging from Teen Mom to
Bridezillas, from Jersey Shore to Say
Yes to the Dress.
Once again, these subjects are just as
likely to be discussed by girls gossiping
after a suburban church service as by those
chatting at the local mall.
This commercialized, highly sexualized
culture, said Riley, has become the domi-
nant culture. The question is whether par-
ents dare to challenge it.
Theres more to this than parents trying
to be countercultural, she said. The big
question is whether they will -- for religious
reasons or whatever -- dare to take a stand
and say, I have a right to be THE major
inuence in the lives of my children. ...
Its hard to say that, in this day and age.
It takes a certain amount of courage for a
mom to say, Look, I dont think padded
bras are appropriate for 10-year-olds.

Health
DR. PETER J. GOTT
DEAR DR. GOTT: In
September 2009, the right
side of my neck above the
collarbone started to swell.
By December, the area
from beneath my right ear
to my collarbone and into
my armpit was swollen. It
wasnt painful. It was, as
the physicians assistant
put it, a diffuse/overall
swelling. The lymph nodes
were not swollen. A neck
CT scan showed a slight ear
infection but no problem
with the nodes.
The swelling is not
edema because it is more
spongy (per the doctor).
When pressed, it does leave
an indentation. I also have
a tender spot just to the left
of the center of my throat
on the outside of my neck,
near the base. I also have a
symptom that comes and
goes -- a spot in my throat
that feels dry and seems as
if it is clinging to the tissue
around it. My doctor told
me that it is scar tissue from
having my tonsils out years
ago.
He hasnt been able
to give me an explanation
of what is going on, and
after he ran several blood
tests, he told me not to
worry about it. Now I have
several lymph nodes in
both armpits and one on the
right side of my groin that
are painful.
I have to sleep on two
pillows now because if I
dont, I wake up with a lot
of chest pressure and can
only describe it as having
an elephant on my chest. It
takes more effort to breathe
during the day if I sleep
with only one pillow.
Do you have any
thoughts on this? Are there
any additional tests that
could be done? My doctor
says not to worry, but this
is not normal for me. I am
50 years old, and this is the
first time I have had any
symptoms like this.
DEAR READER: I urge
you to return to your doctor
with your new symptoms.
He can then order repeat or
more extensive blood work
and perhaps a chest X-ray,
CT scan or MRI of your
neck and chest. If he cannot
or will not help you get to
the root of your symptoms,
request a referral to a
specialist. You should start
with an otolaryngologist
( ear - nos e- and- t hr oat
specialist) since your throat
and neck appear to be where
your symptoms first started.
He or she can then refer
you to other specialists,
such as a pulmonologist,
if appropriate. You may
also want to find another
primary care physician such
as a general practitioner or
an internist.
Painful, swollen glands,
especially those associated
with neck swelling and
chest pressure, are not
normal. There are many
causes, the most common
of which are infections.
Mononucleosis, strep
throat, ear infections and
tooth abscesses are the most
likely candidates. Certain
STDs (sexually transmitted
diseases), tuberculosis
(TB), cat scratch fever and
toxoplasmosis are possible
uncommon causes. Lupus,
rheumatoid arthritis (RA),
lymphoma, leukemia or any
cancer that has spread to
the lymph nodes may also
be the culprit, but these are,
again, uncommon causes.
Rarely, certain medications
can cause swollen, painful
nodes.
You need to undergo
further examination and
testing. The sooner the
cause is found, the sooner
you can get appropriate
treatment and start back
on the road to a normal,
healthful life.
Readers who are
interested in learning
more about physician
specialists can order my
Health Report Medical
Specialists by sending a
self-addressed, stamped
No. 10 envelope and a $2
U.S. check or money order
to Dr. Peter Gott, P.O. Box

Health
DR. PETER J. GOTT
DEAR DR. GOTT: In
September 2009, the right
side of my neck above the
collarbone started to swell.
By December, the area
from beneath my right ear
to my collarbone and into
my armpit was swollen. It
wasnt painful. It was, as
the physicians assistant
put it, a diffuse/overall
swelling. The lymph nodes
were not swollen. A neck
CT scan showed a slight ear
infection but no problem
with the nodes.
The swelling is not
edema because it is more
spongy (per the doctor).
When pressed, it does leave
an indentation. I also have
a tender spot just to the left
of the center of my throat
on the outside of my neck,
near the base. I also have a
symptom that comes and
goes -- a spot in my throat
that feels dry and seems as
if it is clinging to the tissue
around it. My doctor told
me that it is scar tissue from
having my tonsils out years
ago.
He hasnt been able
to give me an explanation
of what is going on, and
after he ran several blood
tests, he told me not to
worry about it. Now I have
several lymph nodes in
both armpits and one on the
right side of my groin that
are painful.
I have to sleep on two
pillows now because if I
dont, I wake up with a lot
of chest pressure and can
only describe it as having
an elephant on my chest. It
takes more effort to breathe
during the day if I sleep
with only one pillow.
Do you have any
thoughts on this? Are there
any additional tests that
could be done? My doctor
says not to worry, but this
is not normal for me. I am
50 years old, and this is the
first time I have had any
symptoms like this.
DEAR READER: I urge
you to return to your doctor
with your new symptoms.
He can then order repeat or
more extensive blood work
and perhaps a chest X-ray,
CT scan or MRI of your
neck and chest. If he cannot
or will not help you get to
the root of your symptoms,
request a referral to a
specialist. You should start
with an otolaryngologist
( ear - nos e- and- t hr oat
specialist) since your throat
and neck appear to be where
your symptoms first started.
He or she can then refer
you to other specialists,
such as a pulmonologist,
if appropriate. You may
also want to find another
primary care physician such
as a general practitioner or
an internist.
Painful, swollen glands,
especially those associated
with neck swelling and
chest pressure, are not
normal. There are many
causes, the most common
of which are infections.
Mononucleosis, strep
throat, ear infections and
tooth abscesses are the most
likely candidates. Certain
STDs (sexually transmitted
diseases), tuberculosis
(TB), cat scratch fever and
toxoplasmosis are possible
uncommon causes. Lupus,
rheumatoid arthritis (RA),
lymphoma, leukemia or any
cancer that has spread to
the lymph nodes may also
be the culprit, but these are,
again, uncommon causes.
Rarely, certain medications
can cause swollen, painful
nodes.
You need to undergo
further examination and
testing. The sooner the
cause is found, the sooner
you can get appropriate
treatment and start back
on the road to a normal,
healthful life.
Readers who are
interested in learning
more about physician
specialists can order my
Health Report Medical
Specialists by sending a
self-addressed, stamped
No. 10 envelope and a $2

Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Teenager still
wets his bed
Dear Annie: I have been
married to John for six
years. We both have chil-
dren from our first marriages.
Johns oldest son is now 14
and still wets the bed. I sug-
gested not allowing the boy
to drink anything after 7 p.m.
and always making sure he
uses the bathroom before
bed. My husband did not
follow through on either of
those. My stepson had been
using childrens diapers, but
now that he needs
an adult size, he
refuses to wear
them.
Both of the
boys parents have
ignored the prob-
lem. Six months
ago, I took my
stepson to the
doctor because
Im tired of wash-
ing two loads of
sheets every day.
The doctor pre-
scribed medication, but my
husbands ex-wife refuses to
believe he needs it, so her son
doesnt take the pills when
hes at her house.
My stepson is embar-
rassed about the bedwetting,
so I dont understand why he
refuses to wear the adult dia-
pers and forgets to take his
medication. He sometimes
wont even make an effort to
use the bathroom before he
goes to sleep. A few nights
ago, he came out of his room
at 10 p.m. to get a drink of
water. My husband saw him
and did nothing.
In the meantime, I get
stuck with the laundry. The
most frustrating thing is my
husbands attitude. I dont
get it. What else can I do?
-- Tired of Wet Beds
Dear Tired: Enuresis
often occurs when children
sleep too deeply to wake to
the warning signs of incipient
urination. There also is often
an inherited predisposition.
At the age of 14, your step-
sons emotional and social
life can suffer enormously
from bedwetting. Shame on
his parents for ignoring the
problem and undermining all
efforts to stay dry. You can
invest in an alarm that will
go off if the bed becomes
wet. You also can insist that
your stepson launder his own
sheets or, better yet, that your
husband wash them. Maybe
that will impress upon him
the need to be more sup-
portive of his sons develop-
ment.
Dear Annie: My daughter
and her child are planning to
visit this summer, and I am
dreading it. Last summers
visit was horrible, and I never
wanted to see them again.
But they are family.
I am an elderly widow
in good shape. Her daughter
has great difficulty abiding
by my rules. I can make a
few adjustments, but still,
the girl seems constantly dis-
tracted and hyperactive. She
also snoops into my things
and takes stuff that doesnt
belong to her.
My daughter is doing a
good job with a difficult child,
but she seems to have a lot of
blind spots. How far can I go
in correcting her behavior in
my home? -- Panicked in
Pennsylvania
Dear Pennsylvania: You
are allowed to create areas of
the house that are off-limits
and to tell others not to touch
your personal belongings. If
your daughter refus-
es to correct her
child in these areas,
you are entitled to
do so, but only ver-
bally. You are NOT
allowed to physi-
cally reprimand
her. We strongly
suggest you discuss

Dear Annie: Tired of
Living with Silent Bob said
every little thing sends his

be me. I was constantly mis-

it feels to be irritated with
everything and not know why.
My husband even bought me
a book about angry women,
which I threw in his face.
I finally was tested, and
it turned out that my oxygen

I was asleep. After a few

SATURDAY, AUG. 6, 2011
It is quite likely that you will
resurrect two endeavors that you
shelved in the past, not from of a lack
of interest, but because you ran out of
steam. With some fresh energy under
your belt, you should be successful
this time around.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --
Although you readily tend to get along
with everybody most of the time, a
lack of harmonious thinking could
substantially reduce your chances for
success. Try to be a good team player.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You
should think things out thoroughly
before tackling a major project. It
might take one massive, concerted
effort to achieve your goal, so be sure
to secure your footing before making
a move.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Be
far more careful than usual about
your financial dealings, especially in
commercial involvements with a good
friend. You might assume one thing,
while your pal supposes another.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
Even if you think you know better,
instead of telling others how things
should be done, set the example
yourself. Your cohorts will try to
match your performance.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Although this is likely to be
quite a pleasant day for the most part,
theres a chance you could accidentally
do something that could be disruptive.
Dont trip over your own feet.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- There are all kinds of possibilities
for personal gain, but in order to
realize something of value, you need
to have the necessary dedication to
achieve a big goal.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Strive to be very explicit regarding
what you expect of others when you
are put in charge of a project. Any
fuzzy directives could deprive you
and everybody else of success.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- It
isnt likely that someone who owes
you money will pay you back in a
reasonable time frame, unless you
prompt him or her to do so. Dont
hesitate to speak up.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- A new, exciting investment about
which youve heard some good things
shouldnt be touted as a sure thing to
friends. If something should go wrong,
your pals will hold you accountable.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- In order to be successful with a
project that youre in charge of, a
concerted effort will be required. Plus,
if you should initially fail, you must
be prepared to regroup and try again.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Take plenty of time to analyze a
situation so that you dont make a
wrongful evaluation about something
important. Jumping to conclusions
could take you completely off course.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Conditions could be totally topsy-
turvy, inasmuch as what you thought
would be a snap could turn out to
be difficult, while what you thought
would be tough will be easy.

SAN ANTONIO The
drought that has turned Texas
and parts of the Plains into
a parched moonscape of
cracked earth could persist
into next year, prolonging the
misery of farmers and ranch-
ers who have endured a dry
spell that is now expected to
be the states worst since the
1950s.
The U.S. Climate
Prediction Center said
Thursday that the La Nina
weather phenomenon blamed
for the crippling lack of rain
might be back soon, just two
months after the last La Nina
ended. If that happens, the
drought would almost cer-
tainly extend into 2012.
The extreme dry condi-
tions have been made worse
by week after week of triple-
digit temperatures, which
have caused reservoirs to
evaporate, crops to wither
and animals and fish to die
off by the thousands.
The suffering and des-
perate need for relief grows
with the rising temperatures
and record-breaking heat
that continue to scorch Texas
with each passing day, state
Agricultural Commissioner
Todd Staples said.
Even the states feral hogs
are hiding from the heat,
postponing a new reality TV
show about Texans gunning
them down from helicopters.
Texas saw less than an
inch of rain statewide in July,
and more than 90 percent
of the state is already in the
two most extreme stages of
drought.
Anything below 2 to 3
inches of rainfall would be
a fly-on-the-windshield type
thing as far as improvement,
said Victor Murphy, a cli-
mate expert with the National
Weather Service. It wouldnt
reverse this continued death
spiral were on.
Also Thursday, the state
climatologist declared this the
most severe one-year drought
on record in Texas. Officials
expected to declare soon
that it has become the worst
drought since the 1950s.
A newly updated weath-
er map showed the drought
holding firm if not inten-
sifying through at least
October.
In Dallas, county officials
say at least 13 people have
died from the heat this sum-
mer. The high temperature
Thursday was expected to hit
109 degrees, which would be
a record for the date.
Statewide demand for
power was expected to
approach the maximum
Thursday for a fourth straight
day. Some large industrial
plants were forced off the
overburdened electric grid,
requiring them to shut down
or rely on their own power
reserves.
And for the first time this
summer, utilities warned
residential customers of the
potential for rolling outages.
Beleaguered farms and
dead pastures have been hurt
the most. The agriculture
industry, which accounts for
nearly 9 percent of the Texas
economy, may be headed for
the biggest single-year losses
ever potentially as high
as $8 billion, according to
the Texas AgriLife Extension
Service.
The La Nina watch issued
by the Climate Prediction
Center warned that the phe-
nomenon marked by a cool-
ing of the tropical Pacific
Ocean could soon redevelop.
La Nina typically results in
less rain for southern states,
and its blamed for drought
conditions in Oklahoma and
New Mexico, too.
A La Nina watch means
conditions are favorable for
La Nina to return within the
next six months. But Texas
will probably know as early
as October or November, said
Mike Halpert, a deputy direc-
tor of the Climate Prediction
Center.
By that time, the driest
places could be out of water.
In the town of Robert Lee,
a rural farming community of
about 1,000 in the middle of
West Texas, people are wor-
ried that Lake E.V. Spence
could dry up by winter and
leave the town without any
water.
Some residents wonder
if the National Guard can
haul in water. Making mat-
ters worse, a pipe that was
probably busted by the dry,
shifting ground began gush-
ing water the town cannot
spare. City workers scram-
bled Thursday to fix it.
Closer to Austin, the
Llano River trickled at a rate
about 95 percent slower than
normal. The city of Llano
already has contacted bottled
water distributors about sup-
plying residents with bottles
for cooking and drinking if
the river flow stops entirely,
which could happen in a mat-
ter of weeks.
Its amazing were
still getting what water we
are, City Manager Finley
deGraffenried said. Were
running 107 degrees yester-
day and the day before. Its
unbearable.
Texas received no signifi-
cant rain in April or May,
which are typically the states
wettest months. Lake levels
are so low that earlier this
week, a massive chunk of the
space shuttle Columbia that
broke apart over Texas in
2003 was found poking out
of the receded waters of Lake
Nacogdoches.
Drought may persist for another year
Anything below 2 to 3 inches of
rainfall would be a fly-on-
the-windshield type thing as
far as improvement,
Victor Murphy, a climate expert with
the National Weather Service.

NEW YORK The man accused in the kidnapping and
dismemberment killing of an 8-year-old New York City boy told
detectives his victim put up a struggle and that afterward he was
hearing voices telling him to take his own life for what he did,
according to court papers made public Thursday.
Police say Levi Aron made the remarks last month around the
time he directed them to a trash bin where he dumped a red suitcase
containing body parts. As the interrogation wore on, Aron told
them, Im famous, the papers say.
The 35-year-old defendant also was asked if he knew anything
about past sex crimes against children. The papers say he recounted
how a man groped him on a subway train when he was a teenager.
But I never did that to a child because I dont swing that way,
he said.
The alleged statements, including a written confession, were
turned over to the defense on Thursday at an arraignment where
Aron pleaded not guilty. His lawyers also learned that a court-
ordered psychiatric evaluation had found him competent to stand
trial.
The lawyers who claim Aron has complained of hearing
voices said they still plan to conduct their own exams to deter-
mine whether to pursue an insanity defense.
Outraged members of the victims ultra-Orthodox Jewish com-
munity should allow the judicial process to take its course, one of
the attorneys, Pierre Bazile, said outside court.
Bazile entered the not guilty plea for his Jewish client, who
did not speak at a brief arraignment in State Supreme Court in
Brooklyn. The defendant appeared in an orange jail jumpsuit with
his hands cuffed in front of him.
Now that Mr. Aron has been found fit to proceed we will move
forward expeditiously to bring his case to trial, District Attorney
Charles Hynes said in a statement. I want to reaffirm that this case
will go to trial and that there are absolutely no circumstances which
would lead me to accept a plea bargain.
Leiby Kletzky got lost on his walk home from a religious day
camp on July 11 and asked Aron, whom he met on the street, for
help, prosecutors said. It was the first time the little boy was allowed
to walk alone, and he was supposed to travel about seven blocks to
meet his mother but missed a turn.
The boy first asked for a ride to a book store. But on the way,
he changed his mind and wasnt sure he wanted to go, Aron wrote
in his confession, according to the court papers.
The defendant, a hardware supply store clerk, described his
decision to take the boy to a wedding upstate. He said when they
returned, they watched television before the boy fell asleep. He
remained there the next day while Aron went to work.
By that time, the disappearance had sparked a major search
effort in his insular community in Borough Park. The boys picture
was plastered on light posts around the area.
When I saw the fliers, I was panicky and afraid, police say
Aron wrote. Once home, he added: I went for a towel to smother
him. He fought back a little until he eventually stopped breathing.
The detectives notes also outline alleged statement by Aron
about how he carved up the body with knives and disposed of
body parts, including the severed feet found wrapped in plastic
his freezer. A cutting board and three bloody carving knives were
found in the refrigerator.
The rest of the boys body was discovered in bags inside a red
suitcase in a trash bin. His legs had been cut from his torso.
Despite the alleged confession, police and prosecutors say they
are continuing to work on verifying Arons horrific and bizarre
explanation for the boys death. It remains unclear why Aron would
have taken the child in the first place.
The medical examiners office said the boy was given a cocktail
of prescription drugs. But Arons confession didnt mention that,
and he denied ever tying up the boy.
Child slaying suspect said he
heard voices ordering suicide

SAN ANGELO, Texas
As a prophet of his polyga-
mist sect, Warren Jeffs docu-
mented everything he did,
keeping track of every mar-
riage he performed, every
young woman he wed, and
even recording his intimate
moments.
It was those meticulous
records including an
audiotape of what prosecu-
tors said was him sexually
assaulting a 12-year-old girl
hed taken as a bride that
helped authorities secure
two child sex assault con-
victions against the 55-year-
old ecclesiastical head of the
Fundamentalist Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints.
Now, prosecutors hope
those same records will help
bring a life prison sentence
to a man regarded by his fol-
lowers as Gods spokesman
on Earth. The West Texas
jurors who convicted Jeffs
will begin determining his
appropriate punishment on
today, and theyll hear evi-
dence about scores of alleged
crimes not mentioned during
his trial.
For starters, Jeffs had
78 wives in addition to his
legal spouse, and 24 of them
were under age 17, said Eric
Nichols, lead prosecutor for
the Texas Attorney Generals
office, which is handling
the case. Nichols also said
he would show that Jeffs
committed six other sexual
assaults and either witnessed
or performed more than 500
polygamist marriages, as
well as 67 other sect mar-
riages involving underage
girls.
Jeffs spent years evad-
ing arrest, crisscrossing the
country as a fugitive who
eventually made the FBIs
Ten Most Wanted list before
his capture in 2006. He
excommunicated 60 church
members he saw as a threat
to his leadership, breaking
up 300 families while strip-
ping them of property and
reassigning wives and
children, Nichols said.
All of that is separate
from the criminal charges
on which he was convicted
Thursday. Jurors deliberated
for 3 1/2 hours before find-
ing Jeffs guilty of sexually
assaulting two girls, ages 12
and 15, whom hed wed dur-
ing what his sect considers
spiritual marriages.
Prosecutors used DNA
evidence to show Jeffs
fathered a child with the older
victim and played an audio
recording of what they said
was him sexually assault-
ing the younger girl. They
played other tapes in which
Jeffs was heard instruct-
ing as many as a dozen of
his young wives on how to
please him sexually and
thus, he told them, please
God.
You might have asked
yourselves ... a lot of people
may ask, why would some-
one record sex? Nichols
told jurors during closing
arguments. This individu-
al considers himself to be
the prophet. Everything he
did, hour after hour, he was
required to keep a record of
that.
Jeffs sect has more than
10,000 members nation-
wide who believe polygamy
brings exaltation in heaven.
Both victims entered into
unions with Jeffs willingly,
and did not participate in the
trial against him. But Nichols
said in his closing statement
that the crimes were so egre-
gious that under Texas law,
convictions did not require
the victim to bring charges.
Jeffs burned through
seven lawyers in six months,
then insisted on representing
himself after jury selection
last week turning a high-
profile case into what felt at
times like a surreal religious
revival.
He quoted God as threat-
ening all involved with a
Biblical scourge if the case
wasnt halted immediately,
then later filed an unsuc-
cessful motion to remove
state District Judge Barbara
Walther from the case, say-
ing the Lord visited him in
his jail cell and said Walther
was afflicted from a crip-
pling disease that would
soon kill her. The judge suf-
fered polio as a child and
walks with a limp.
Jeffs stood almost com-
pletely mute during his
closing argument, staring
at the floor for all but a
few seconds of the half
hour he was allotted. He
finally turned and looked
toward prosecutors and
the jury, most of whom
avoided direct eye contact
with him. I am at peace
he mumbled, then said no
more. The only noise in the
courtroom was the creaking
of wooden benches brim-
ming with spectators.
Polygamist leader convicted of child sex assault
BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) A report of a possible gun-
man at Virginia Tech on Thursday set off the longest, most
extensive lockdown and search on campus since the bloodbath
four years ago that led the university to overhaul its emergency
procedures.
No gunman was found, and the school gave the all-clear just
before 3 p.m., about five hours after sirens began wailing and
students and staff members started receiving warnings by phone,
email and text message to lock themselves indoors. Alerts were
also posted on the universitys website and Twitter accounts.
Maddie Potter, a 19-year-old from Virginia Beach, holed up
inside a campus wood shop, where she had been working on a class
project. Staff members locked the doors and turned off the lights.
I was pretty anxious. We had family friends who were up
here when the shooting took place in 2007, so it was kind of
surreal, she said. I had my phone with me and I called both
my parents.
The emergency was triggered by three teens who were
attending a summer program on campus and told police they
saw a man walking quickly across the grounds with what might
have been a handgun covered by a cloth, authorities said.
Police searched some 150 buildings on the square-mile cam-
pus and issued a composite sketch of a baby-faced man who was
said to be wearing shorts and sandals, but they found no sign of
him. They continued to patrol the grounds as a precaution even
after the lockdown was lifted.
Were in a new era. Obviously this campus experienced
something pretty terrible four years ago, said Virginia Tech
spokesman Larry Hincker. He added: Regardless of what your
intuition and your experience as a public safety officer tells you,
you are really forced to issue an alert.
Virginia Tech locked down
Stadium Club works on bathrooms
Roger Schlereth of the Delphos Stadium Club works on the new stall partitions to be put into the home side sta-
dium bathrooms at Stadium Park. The bathroom renovations are estimated to be a 3-4 week project. Work continues
with painting planned for Saturday morning. Volunteers are welcome; work begins at 7 a.m.
