LIMA — Patrick Coller, 43, waived his right to a preliminary hearing Wednesday in Lima Municipal Court before Magistrate Richard Warren.

Coller faces a murder charge with a weapons specification in the death of 42-year-old Gerri Coller.

Coller appeared with his court-appointed attor-ney, Jerry Pitts.

His case will be transferred to Allen County Common Pleas Court and his bond was contin-ued at $1 million. The Grand Jury will meet to consider indicting Coller.

Allen County Assistant Prosecutor Jana Emerick appeared opposite Pitts.

The Delphos man is accused of fatally shoot-ing his estranged wife in a cornfield off Jones Road, east of Delphos.

According to Delphos Police reports, Patrick Coller went to the Delphos Police Department last Thursday evening and allegedly confessed to killing his wife in the cornfield earlier in the day. Officers took him into custody and then he went with officers to locate her body. He was reported-ly very calm throughout his contact with officers.

Allen County Sheriff’s Detectives are handling the investigation. Sheriff’s deputies recovered the weapon believed to have been used by Coller to kill his wife Friday. According to a press release, the barrel of the gun was sawed off and an attempt had been made to remove the serial number. The release went on to say that although no report had been filed, it is believed the shotgun was stolen earlier by Coller.

Sheriff detectives are continuing the investiga-tion.

Longtime ‘SNL’ announcer Don Pardo dies at 96

BY FRAZIER MOOREAssociated Press

NEW YORK — Few would recognize his face, but most knew his voice: the booming baritone that for nearly four decades heralded “Saturday Night Live.”

Don Pardo, the eras-span-ning radio and TV announcer whose resonant voice-over style was celebrated for its maj-esty and power, died Monday in Arizona at the age of 96.

“He became our link to the beginnings of television on NBC — and radio,” said Lorne Michaels, who, as creator of “SNL” (and who remains its executive producer) hired Pardo.

Pardo’s strong jaw and leading-man smile were sel-dom on display, but for more than 60 years his elegant pipes graced newscasts, game shows (during the original run of “Jeopardy!,” its emcee ritually called on him to “Tell ‘em what they’ve won, Don Pardo”) and especially “SNL,” where he played an integral role through last season, heralding the line-up, like always, as recently as the May finale.

“There was no greater thrill than hearing Don Pardo bel-low your name for the first time in the opening credits of ‘Saturday Night Live,’” said long-time cast member Tina Fey. “It meant you were offi-cially ‘on television.’”

Fey described Pardo as “a sweet, sweet man,” adding, “Late night will never sound as cool again.”

“My whole life changed once Don Pardo said my name,” echoed Amy Poehler, a fellow “SNL” alum. “I will really miss that kind and tal-ented man.”

His was no ordinary voice and he guarded it closely, with cough drops always at the ready.

“My voice is my Achilles’ heel,” Pardo said in a 1985 interview with The Associated Press. “When I get sick, it’s always my voice.” But it served him well from a tender age.

Dominick George Pardo was born in Westfield, Massachusetts, on Feb. 22, 1918, and grew up in Norwich, Connecticut.

One of his first jobs was that of ticket-taker at a local movie theater; even then, his voice was commanding.

“I’d go out there with a cape and say: ‘Standing room only in the mezzanine. Immediate seating in the balcony.’”

His father, Dominick, owned a small bakery and had wanted his son to join the business. But young Pardo followed his own dream. After graduating from Boston’s Emerson College in 1942, he began his vocal career at radio station WJAR in Providence, Rhode Island.

Two years later, he was hired by a supervisor at NBC immediately upon hearing his voice. He moved to NBC’s New York affiliate, and never left the network.

Pardo made his mark quick-ly, reading news dispatches on the radio filed from the front lines during World War II. After the war, he was the announcer for such shows as the “Arthur Murray Party,” ‘’Colgate Comedy Hour” and “Your Show of Shows.”

In 1954, he was brought in to announce “Winner Takes All,” beginning a long run in game shows. He was heard forcefully on the original “The Price is Right” (1956-63) and the original “Jeopardy!” (1964-75), hosted by Art Fleming.

When NBC launched the radical, cutting-edge “Saturday Night Live” in 1975 with Pardo as its charmingly old-school patriarch, he was dis-covered by a new generation — although, on opening night, he made a rare stumble, botch-ing one of the credits. Instead of saying “The Not Ready for Prime Time Players,” Pardo introduced the show’s new comedy troupe as “The Not for Ready Prime Time Players.”

Aside from Season 7, when he was rudely displaced, Pardo remained an “SNL” mainstay.

Between working on shows, Pardo often spent several hours a day in an NBC sound stu-dio as one of the last network “booth announcers” working a regular daily shift.

And every weekday after-noon for several years in the 1980s, Pardo would quickly clad himself in a tie and blazer to step on camera long enough to announce the local New York station’s “Live at Five” newscast — although Pardo’s vocal alchemy rendered it as “Liiiiiiive at Fiiiiiive!”

Pardo retired from NBC in 2004.

“But Lorne Michaels called me soon after and asked if I would continue for three more weeks, so I did,” Pardo told the AP in 2010. “Then he called and asked if I would do five more, and so on. I never really left.”

For several years, Pardo commuted from Tucson each week the show aired. He arrived to open the show in Rockefeller Center’s fabled Studio 8H and then caught a returning flight. At the end of the show on Feb. 23, 2008, he was brought on camera to blow out the candles of a birth-day cake in honor of his 90th birthday.

In later years, he more often recorded his introductions from home, where he died peacefully Monday afternoon, said his daughter Dona Pardo.

Pardo appeared in several movies, mostly as himself or an announcer like himself, includ-ing Woody Allen’s “Radio Days,” an homage to the Golden Age of broadcasting. He also made a guest appear-ance on Frank Zappa’s 1978 album, “Zappa in New York,” and “Weird Al” Yankovic’s 1984 album, “In 3-D.”

In 2010, he was inducted into the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences’ Hall of Fame.

Pardo is survived by five children.

WASHINGTON — An experimental drug saved monkeys from a virus closely related to Ebola even after symptoms began, Texas researchers reported Wednesday. A drug that targets Ebola in the same way is under devel-opment, and the study raises questions about how late after infection treatments might work.

The unprecedented Ebola outbreak in West Africa has interest surging in the cre-ation of the first drugs and vaccines for the hemorrhagic fever — but a separate report Wednesday highlights the inadequacy of counting on experimental products in the pipeline.

In the nearly nine months since the out-break began, up to 30,000 people could have qualified for some sort of infection-blocking drug or vaccine, Oxford University epidemi-ologist Oliver Brady calculated in the journal Nature. There have been more than 2,000 cases of Ebola, but the higher total reflects people at varying risk of infection — patients’ relatives, health workers, funeral directors and non-medical essential workers in out-break zones — and comes from a statistical model that Brady created for manufacturers to use as they plan how to increase production of experimental products.

“The demand is likely to be higher than many people realize,” Brady said.

Wednesday’s monkey study involves a strain of Marburg virus that is an even more lethal cousin of Ebola. Although scientists caution that the study is too small to draw firm conclusions, it is one of the few attempts to explore how long after infection a treat-ment might work for either virus.

Both Marburg and Ebola take time to multiply in the body and most people don’t realize they’re ill and seek treatment until symptoms appear.

Thomas Geisbert of the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston infected 21 rhesus monkeys with Marburg virus.

Then his team administered the drug to 16 of them at different time points. All of the treated monkeys lived — even the four who weren’t treated until three days later, when their blood showed plenty of virus and symptoms had begun, Geisbert reported in the journal Science Translational Medicine. All of the untreated monkeys died in about a week.

The drug uses bits of genetic material called small interfering RNA to block the virus’ ability to reproduce. Geisbert’s team had published evidence back in 2010 that this same technology engineered to target Ebola protected monkeys up to 48 hours after infec-tion, before symptoms began. Based on that data, Canada-based Tekmira Pharmaceutical Corp. is developing an anti-Ebola drug.

Other experimental approaches have got-ten more public attention as the World Health Organization said it was ethical to try unap-proved drugs and vaccines during the current Ebola outbreak.

A U.S. government-developed Ebola vac-cine to prevent infection is set to start the first human safety studies in a few weeks, said Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health. If it proves safe, the goal would be to give it to health workers heading into the outbreak zones. The Canadian government has developed a different vaccine candidate, and plans to donate 800 to 1,000 doses to the World Health Organization even as a human safety study is being planned.

As for treatments, one experimental drug — an antibody cocktail named ZMapp — made headlines as doctors tried it in six Ebola patients before the supply ran out.

In a separate small study last year, Canadian researchers showed that the anti-body approach also could provide some protection for Ebola-infected monkeys after symptoms began.

Next, Geisbert’s team wants to push the timing even further: “We will look to see how much further out we can delay treatment” for both Ebola and Marburg viruses, he said.

UPS says 51 retail stores breached by malware

BY DAVID KOENIGAssociated Press

Some customers of The UPS Store may have had their credit and debit card informa-tion exposed by a computer virus found on systems at 51 stores in 24 states.

A spokeswoman for UPS says the information includes names, card numbers and postal and email addresses from about 100,000 transac-tions between Jan. 20 and Aug. 11.

United Parcel Service Inc. said Wednesday that it was among U.S. retailers who got a Department of Homeland Security bulletin about the malware on July 31. The mal-ware is not identified by cur-rent anti-virus software.

The company is not aware of any fraud related to the attack, spokeswoman Chelsea Lee said.

Atlanta-based UPS said it hired a security firm that found the virus in systems at about 1 percent of the company’s 4,470 franchised locations. At many stores, the intrusion did not begin until March or April.

Lee said that the problem was fixed by Aug. 11 and the company took additional steps to protect systems at other stores. She said the affected stores were not linked elec-tronically, and UPS is still investigating how they were compromised.

UPS said it is providing

identity protection and credit monitoring help to affected customers.

The affected stores were in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Washington.

From the company’s description, the breach appeared far smaller than one that hit Target Corp. during the holiday-shopping season, when hackers stole credit and debit card information involv-ing millions of customers. Fallout from the incident is still hurting profits. Target, which said Wednesday that second-quarter profit fell 62 percent, has spent $235 mil-lion related to the breach, partly offset by $90 million in insurance payments.

The UPS breach won’t have a material financial impact on the company, Lee said.

Last week, Supervalu said that hackers might have sto-len names, account numbers, expiration dates and other information from card hold-ers who shopped at up to 200 of its grocery and liquor stores. Restaurant operator P.F. Chang’s, Goodwill thrift stores and other retailers have been hit by data breaches.2014 campaign chair Scott Mull of Central Insurance has set an aggressive campaign goal for the United

Mull sets goal for United Way CampaignINFORMATION SUBMITTED

VAN WERT — 2014 campaign chair Scott Mull of Central Insurance has set an aggressive campaign goal for the United Way of Van Wert County — $600,000.

“We first started discussing what the amount our campaign goal should be during the allocation process. This year’s goal is the amount our local member agencies told us they needed to operate and provide their needed programs for the community. There were also a few new program requests, programs that would really benefit the community, but we just didn’t have enough funding to take them on at this time,” Mull said. “The campaign theme this year is Open Your Eyes. It really has two meanings, the first encourag-ing citizens to open their eyes to the needs of our community and second to open your eyes to our 24 incredible

member agencies that work tirelessly each and every day to meet those needs in Van Wert County. I hope this year’s theme inspires people to take a look around Van Wert, see what needs there are and what we can do about those needs. Sometimes it is not just about funding, it’s about volunteering and making a difference in someone’s life.”

This year setting the pace for the United Way campaign is Central Insurance. Central has been a supporter of the United Way from the very begin-ning in 1922.

This year, Carly Fortman and Travis Owens are chairing the internal cam-paign at Central. All employees will attend a campaign meeting where they will view the campaign video, hear an agency speaker, and learn more about United Way and the services provided by the 24 local agencies.

“We are excited to have Central leading the way for the United Way this

year,” Central Executive Director Deb Russell said. “Central employees have always been generous in their support of the United Way and Central matches their employee pledges. This makes a huge difference to our campaign. And they don’t stop with just the fundrais-ing aspect of our campaign. Every year they have done an agency project for Day of Caring, and they hold a company-wide competition for the Day of Caring food drive. Central is very supportive of the Van Wert community, which we appreciate, and do not take for granted.”

The company and employee totals will be announced by a Central repre-sentative at the United Way Campaign Kickoff on September 24 in the First Federal Lecture Hall of the Niswonger Performing Arts Center. We look for-ward to their announcement and to our upcoming campaign. Live United!

Man gets life for killing grandfather CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio

(AP) — A 30-year-old Ohio man convicted of fatally shooting his grandfather in the face has been sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Shaun Lawson was sentenced Wednesday in Pickaway County court.

Prosecutors say Lawson went to his grandfather’s rural home March 29 to steal guns and admitted he would have killed his own father, too, if he’d been there.

The Columbus Dispatch

reports the judge told Lawson that his well-loved grandfather didn’t deserve such a grandson.

Lawson said he’d take back his actions if he could and asked to be hospitalized to get help. His attorney told the court Lawson has had bipolar disorder, depression and anti-social personality disorder.

Three others face trial in the case. A fifth defen-dant pleaded guilty and was sentenced to seven years in prison.

Abortion clinic ends fight over closure order

BY AMANDA LEE MYERSAssociated Press

CINCINNATI — A Cincinnati-area abortion clinic has ended its fight with the state over a license revocation and will stop performing surgical abortions this week, clinic officials said Wednesday, blaming Gov. John Kasich and accusing him of try-ing to end all abortions in Ohio.

The development will leave just one clinic in the Cincinnati area offering surgical abortions and none with late-term abor-tions, said attorney Dorothea Langsam, who represents the Lebanon Road Surgery Center of Sharonville.

“This is a difficult day for those of us who care about a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body,” Langsam said.

She said the clinic, which opened 35 years ago, provided about 2,000 abortions a year.

Its closure will mean hundreds of additional women going to Cincinnati’s only other clinic, which will increase wait times, push women farther into pregnancy and increase the risk of complications, Langsam said.

Women seeking abortions between 18 and 22 weeks into their pregnancies will have to go to the Dayton clinic, which Langsam said will disproportionately affect low-income women who will have more difficulty finding transportation for the roughly two-hour drive.

“Abortion access is now severely endangered for Cincinnati area women with only one provider remaining,” Valerie Haskell, co-owner of the clinic and another Dayton clinic, said in a state-ment.

She blamed the Republican governor and politics for the clin-ic’s difficulties, saying Kasich’s “agenda is to methodically close each abortion provider one by one (hoping no one will notice) until it is impossible to get an abortion anywhere in Ohio.”

“This is what happens when a politician becomes blinded by his personal beliefs,” Haskell said. “He governs for the minority and disregards the majority.”

Kasich’s spokesman, Rob Nichols, declined repeated requests for comment and questioned why the clinic would sue the state Department of Health if its owners believed Kasich was ulti-mately responsible.

Haskell referred to new state rules, approved by Kasich last year, prohibiting publicly funded hospitals from having patient transfer agreements with facilities that provide abortions.

Ohio law simultaneously requires such transfer agreements to be in place, in what abortion rights groups have dubbed a de facto restriction on abortion.

Ohio man charged with illegal gamblingCLEVELAND (AP) — A grand jury has charged an

Ohio man with more than 100 counts of illegal gambling at Cleveland’s Horseshoe Casino.

The Ohio Casino Control Commission pursued the charges filed Tuesday against 40-year-old Vaughn Perry. The Cleveland man faces 138 illegal gambling charges and one grand theft charge, which says Perry deprived the casino of $8,240. Court records say the offense occurred at the casino in May.

The casino commission says Perry cheated multiple times at blackjack, which agents confirmed with video footage.

Court records show Perry has faced previous charges and has been convicted previously for felonious assault.

No attorney is listed for Perry. He is scheduled to be arraigned Sept. 3.

Gun rights group fights suit dismissalCOLUMBUS (AP) — A judge is giving a gun rights

group more time to argue why its lawsuit challenging Ohio State University over its weapons ban shouldn’t be dismissed.

The Students for Concealed Carry Foundation says the ban restricts constitutionally protected rights, including the right to self-defense by Ohio State students living in university housing.

The lawsuit in Franklin County court says the ban restricts the rights of both lawful gun owners who want to carry weapons openly and holders of concealed-carry permits.

Earlier this month, Ohio State asked Judge Daniel Hogan to throw out the lawsuit, arguing the group hasn’t shown how its individual members are harmed by the ban.

Hogan on Monday agreed to give the group more time to respond to Ohio State’s request.

Celebrating the Farm Bureau at the 66th annual meetingLOGAN (AP) — Many believe

growing food is a pursuit of happi-ness, which was celebrated by the Hocking County Farm Bureau as it hosted its 66th annual meeting Monday.

Two high school students were each presented $1,000 scholarship and members voted on policies dur-ing the meeting.

Neil Shaw serves as president of the Hocking County Farm Bureau for this year and will continue as such for next year. The meeting was held at Lee’s Banquet Haus Monday evening with local members pres-ent along with various State Farm Bureau members in attendance.

Sandy Kuhn is the director of education and industry outreach at the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation and proudly presented a scholar-ship on behalf of her parents John Ed and Donna Kuhn, both longtime residents of Hocking County.

Caleb Mathias was selected for

the memorial scholarship. He is the son of Randy and Janet Mathias and a 2014 Logan High School gradu-ate. Mathias plans to attend The Ohio State University and major in Plant Pathology. His most cherished accom-plishment was being a delegate to the World Food Prize in Des Moines, Iowa.

Kuhn said Mathias has been involved in FFA, 4-H, community services such as fair pen set-up, Summer in the Park, Relay for Life and cemetery clean-up. She wished him luck on continuing his education.

Vice president of the HCFB, Larry Kienzle presented the second scholarship of the evening to Trevor Swackhamer. He is the son of Brent and Stephanie Swackhamer and is a recent graduate of Logan Elm High School.

Swackhamer will be attending Ohio University in Lancaster, and plans to major in computer sci-ence and business administration. He feels accomplished by plant-

ing, raising and selling pumpkins at the Circleville Pumpkin Show. Swackhamer has been involved in 4-H, marching, concert and pep band, junior fair-board, drama club and prom com-

mittee, according to Kienzle.Kienzle congratulated

Swackhamer and presented him with a $1,000 scholarship.

Steve Hirsch, State President for the OFBF, was guest speaker for the evening. He holds the highest elected office in the state’s largest and most inclusive farm organiza-tion. He commended the HCFB for

its contributions in helping connect farmers with the consuming public.

Hirsch spoke to those in atten-dance regarding water quality and quantity. In July the OFBF launched Healthy Water Ohio, which involves dozens of groups ranging from con-servation to businesses and even including water suppliers.

“We continue to support research. We are working this year to understand what we need and how to get there,” said Hirsch in regards to water.

“It really charges you up to see the excitement and energy these kids have,” he added.

As he congratulated both schol-arship recipients and wished them continued success in the agricul-ture industry, he also complimented members of the HCFB and Shaw’s leadership as president.

Changes could be on the horizon for the organization in regards to membership. Currently there are two

classes of membership, active and associate. Changes could reveal four classes of membership that would include active, merging agriculture, community and Ohio member.

Members in attendance voted to support all policies. County policies included, support the government in creating a favorable environment to assist small businesses. To sup-port county programs that promotes family values that will keep chil-dren out of juvenile court.

To support a water supply sys-tem that would meet standards of lower property insurance rates. In support of a great effort to collect the delinquent property tax accounts and to continue to support and urge for high-speed Internet in Hocking County. Other policies were passed on the state and national level as well.

The evening concluded with a fun activity and door prizes being awarded.

U.S. offers $2M in grants to stem growth of algae

Associated Press

Farmers in 20 Ohio coun-ties of the Lake Erie water-shed will be able to walk into a county federal conserva-tion agency office today and apply for grants paying $57 per acre to plant winter crops to keep fertilizer from wash-ing into the rivers, federal lawmakers said on Tuesday.

U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D., Ohio) and U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D., Toledo) announced the $2 million emergency fund while stand-ing next to the Maumee River at the National Museum of the Great Lakes in East Toledo.

They said the money will make a dent in the flow of fertilizer and manure that is feeding the late-summer algae blooms that threaten Toledo’s water supply.

It was an algae bloom that shut down Toledo’s water supply for about 500,000 people Aug. 2 when city chemists at the Collins Park Treatment Plant detected unsafe levels of a danger-ous toxin, microcystin. The toxin can cause breathing problems, skin reactions, and liver damage.

Both Mr. Brown and Miss Kaptur stressed that the $2 million grant is just a portion of what they think needs to be accomplished to end the dan-gerous flow of phosphorous into Lake Erie.

Miss Kaptur suggested a Lake Erie watershed ver-sion of the Tennessee Valley Authority. She said there are 14,820 farms in the water-shed, each averaging 250

acres.“It’s the largest watershed

in the Great Lakes and we’ve got to get this right,” Miss Kaptur said.

The $2 million will be spread over some 30,000 acres in 20 counties, Mr. Brown said. Mr. Brown and Miss Kaptur are trying to pass a related $20 million conservation program for Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. Senator Brown said he helped to establish a program in the 2014 Farm Bill to provide up to $1.2 billion for farmers to implement conservation measures, including those that could reduce runoff into Lake Erie.

“They’re not all going to participate, but they need to,” Miss Kaptur said. “The farm-ers are going to be paid to plant cover crops like clo-vers, alfalfa, rye, wild radish, wheat, oats, other crops, to hold back nutrients so they don’t leach out.”

Mr. Brown said that, “Algae blooms will be back and it’s up to us to deal with this in an ongoing way.

“We must do more to stop runoff before it starts,” Mr. Brown said. “You can’t expect the city of Toledo to do it alone in terms of mil-lions and millions and mil-lions of dollars for water treatment.” He attributed the growing algae problem to cli-mate change, with more tor-rential downpours that wash more fertilizer off fields and manure out of livestock pens.

Terry Cosby, state con-servationist for the Natural Resources Conservation Service, said his agency has

offices in every county and started making the applica-tion forms available to farm-ers on Tuesday.

He said if all the money is used, it should stop at least half of the phosphorous run-off that otherwise would have occurred from those farms. Distributed evenly, the grant would cover about 1,700 acres per county.

“We’ve been visiting farms. We talk to a lot of farmers. The message from the farmers is ‘we want to do the right thing,” Mr. Cosby said. “Hopefully, we will have enough [farmers] sign up to use all those dollars.”

He said growing win-ter crops makes the ground absorb fertilizer and manure better than when they are spread on hard ground.

Oregon farmer Bill Myers said he believes farmers will take advantage of the offer, especially those knowledge-able about cover crops.

“This isn’t just farming’s problem. No farmer goes out there knowingly trying to harm the environment. It’s where we get our paycheck,” he said. “Everyone benefits when we can keep the run-off on the farm field.”

The grant would pay some or all of the cost of seeding a cover crop, said Mr. Myers, whose family farms 2,000 acres and who is president of the Lucas County Farm Bureau, “It’s designed to grab the nutrients that weren’t used. The biggest challenge for this is going to be the equipment that it’s going to take to get it applied in a timely manner.”

Annie’s Project starts Sept. 22BY JAMES J. HOORMAN

Assistant ProfessorOSU ExtensionPutnam County

The Putnam County OSU Extension office will be offering a new program to agricultural farm women called Annie’s Project starting Sept. 22nd through Oct. 27. Annie’s Project “provides women with tools to improve their risk and farm management skills in the complex and dynamic world of agriculture.” Annie’s Project mission “is to empower farm women to be better business partners through networks and by managing and organizing critical information.”

What will you gain? Annie’s Project par-ticipants say they find answers, strength, and friendship and the program also helps women grow in confidence, business skills, and com-munity prestige. “Annie’s Project” provides education and a support network to enhance business skills of women involved in all aspects of agriculture. Through the program, you gain insight on a) your personality and temperament and how it affects communica-tion, b) the importance of organizational skills and goal setting, and c) how to find resources and work with professionals to meet your goals.

The original “Annie” was a women who grew up in a small farming community with a goal of being a successful farm wife. Annie spent her life learning how to be a successful business partner on her family farm, work-ing with her husband. Annie’s Project was designed by her daughter to provide agricul-tural business, risk management, marketing, and agricultural information to assist women in the agricultural industry. Over 5,000 women in the USA have been trained with this pro-gram since the year 2000.

Classes start Sept. 22 and educational pro-grams go from 6-9 p.m. on Monday evenings. A light meal will be served starting at 5:30 p.m. The classes will be held at the Putnam County Extension office, 1206 East Second Street, Ottawa, Ohio (By the Fairgrounds).

Class 1, Communications, Sept. 22: Introduction, Real Colors® (Determining

your personality, business temperament, and communication style), Family/Business Communications and Relationships.

Class 2, Farm Business Planning, Sept. 29: Family/Farm Mission Statement & Goals, Financial Statements, and Credit Scores, Record Keeping, Developing a Business Plan.

Class 3, Retirement and Transition, Oct. 6: Basic Retirement Issues, Thinking about Farm Transition, Grandma’s Yellow Pie Plate (How to minimize family disputes during a farm transition).

Class 4, Financial Management, Oct. 13: Financial Statements, Credit Score, Working with your Lender, Insurance.

Class 5, Marketing and Management, Oct. 20: Marketing and Direct Marketing Basics, Commodity Markets, Panel on grain and live-stock commodity marketing, Soil Health, and Water Quality Issues.

Class 6, Risk Management, Oct. 29: Liability Issues, Contracts, Legal Issues, and Program Evaluation. Nov. 3 will be a makeup day for inclement weather.

What have women said about this pro-gram? “I changed my mind about how to approach communication with my in-laws as business partners.” “I have gained tools to improve management of our farm and insight on how to communicate the resources to other members of the farm.” “I appreciate getting to meet others with a shared interest.” “I encour-age any women to attend one of these great programs!”

Dr. Beth Schecklehoff, Henry County OSUE , has organized this series of meetings and she will be assisted by Jim Hoorman, Putnam County OSUE. Interested women can call the Putnam County Extension office (419-523-6294) for more information or contact Beth at 419-592-0806 or [email protected].

The cost for this program has been set statewide at $95 per person; however, due to local donations from agricultural businesses, the cost should be reduced to $20-30. Call for details and registration is limited to 24 women to allow adequate class discussion and networking and individual help.

Wind Turbine Syndrome? Courts aren’t buying itAssociated Press

To wind farm opponents, wind turbine syndrome is a mani-fold malady triggered by acoustic pulses and other unfortunate side effects of large wind turbines. To wind farm developers, syndrome claims can mean stomach-churn-ing marches into courtrooms and municipal hearings, where legal teams defend projects against allegations they’re responsible for everything from headaches and sleeplessness to vertigo, blurred vision, and forgetfulness.

In these legal fights, the wind energy developers are winning. To the judges presiding over the cases, evidence that wind turbine syndrome exists has seemed as wispy as the cirrus clouds that can herald a stiffening breeze.

The Energy and Policy Institute, a clean energy advo-cacy group, reviewed rulings from 49 lawsuits and similar complaints filed in five Western countries. In a report published last week, the group says it could find just one case of a court sid-ing with neighbors who claimed wind turbines had made them ill. That one ruling out of 49 is being appealed in Massachusetts.

“These claims about wind turbines causing health impacts are not being upheld, which means there isn’t sufficient evi-dence to prove that wind tur-bines cause any problems with human health,” said Gabe Elsner, the nonprofit’s executive direc-tor. “That’s a big deal, because claims about that are used across the globe by anti-wind advocates to try to slow the development of wind farms.”

The 49 legal rulings identi-fied by the institute came out of environmental, utility, civil, and higher courts since the late 1990s in the U.S., Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the U.K.

Elsner said the study began,

in part, to provide wind develop-ers’ attorneys with ideas and legal precedents to help them defend projects in court. “These claims about health impacts kept com-ing,” he said.

Of the eight American cases, the one instance where neighbors succeeded in hobbling wind tur-bine operations was in the Cape Cod town of Falmouth, Mass. A government board sided last year with neighbors, including a Vietnam War veteran recover-ing from PTSD, who said they were sickened by a pair of town-owned wind turbines. The tur-bines were installed in 2010 to power a wastewater treatment plant and to sell excess electricity onto the local utility’s grid.

The turbine blades are being locked down every night from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., and all day on Sundays and some holidays, while the town appeals the ruling in supe-rior court. “We borrowed money to pay for these things, and we need that money to pay the bonds,” Town Counsel Frank Duffy said.

The Energy and Policy Institute and others trace claims of far-reaching health problems associated with wind turbines to 2009, when an American pediatri-cian published a book that popu-larized the phrase “wind turbine syndrome.” But scientists who have examined the claimed links between wind turbines and health problems have almost universally rejected them.

“Of course wind turbines make noise, and we all know that noise can be annoying,” said Melissa Whitfield Aslund, a sci-entist at the Canadian consult-ing firm Intrinsik, whose clients include wind energy developers. “Once sited properly, where you have appropriate noise regula-tions in place, and where people aren’t being exposed to exces-sive amounts of noise, there’s no direct evidence of adverse effects

on human health.”Whitfield Aslund collaborat-

ed with six Intrinsik colleagues to review nearly 60 studies dealing with the health effects of wind turbines. The review, which was published in June in the jour-nal Frontiers in Public Health, includes recommendations for protecting neighbors from the noise impacts of wind turbines, such as considering local condi-tions affecting how far sound travels when siting wind turbines – not just measuring the dis-tances to the nearest home. The report says the nocebo effect, in which a patient can be convinced that something benign is making them sick, could be responsible for many of the health complaints associated with wind turbines. So, too, the scientists wrote, could be the annoyance and wor-ries that some people experience when unwanted turbines go up in their neighborhoods. Such emo-tions in general have been linked by medical researchers to symp-toms that resemble those of wind turbine syndrome.

“There’s really nothing else about wind turbines that’s unique to wind turbines that would be expected to cause any adverse health impacts,” Whitfield Aslund said.

But try telling that to the 19 Lake Winds Energy Park neighbors in Michigan’s Mason County who are suing over what they say are reduced prop-erty values and pain and suffer-ing. Headaches, ringing in the ears, dizziness, stress, “extreme fatigue,” nausea, and a “dimin-ished ability to concentrate” are among the ailments they claim to be suffering because of the constant gyrations of the 56 tur-bines. Their attorney, Craig Horn, who worked on a similar case in the past, is largely focused on complaints of sleeplesness and headaches.

Sara Says ...By Sara Berelsman

Where’s Mom Now That I Need Her?: Surviving Away from Home is a book that I refer to frequently and one that I have used for years. At this time of year, especially, it would be perfect for students going off to college. It contains lots of recipes, nutritional infor-mation, even help with buying groceries. There is also infor-mation about other aspects of survival, like doing laundry and cleaning.

I only call my mom about a trillion times a day but this book has also really helped equip me with skills necessary to live without my parents and live with my own family on a budget. The recipes are ones that can be easily made again and again, although the description might not be elab-orate enough for some readers or novice chefs. I am the least qualified cook in the world, however, and I find the book to contain basic common sense.

Besides recipes for food, the book contains several recipes for household cleaning prod-

ucts, such as window cleaner. Some of these recipes have proven to be useful at times when money’s been tight or I’ve simply run out of time to get to the store. There is also a section

on health and first-aid, which has come in handy not only for me but when taking care of my kids, too.

My mom got me this book right before I went off to col-lege years ago and it has stood the test of time. I used it when I first got it and I still use it. It is easy to understand and comprehensive in its contents. While it is not only a cook-book, it is the one I’ve used the most often in cooking.

In the Internet age, it is easy to get by without buying any cookbooks at all and simply relying on websites for recipes. I still usually prefer a book to any search engine, so I value this. While in some aspects it

does come across as a little outdated, overall it’s timeless and could be passed down for generations. Of course, I’ll just buy my girls new copies because I want to keep mine.

AUG. 25-29MONDAY: BBQ pork on a bun, macaroni salad, peaches,

coffee and 2 percent milk. TUESDAY: Marinara meat sauce over spaghetti noodles,

cauliflower, garlic toast, peaches, coffee and 2 percent milk.WEDNESDAY: Baked fish, redskin potatoes, cole slaw,

bread, margarine, fruit, coffee and 2 percent milk.THURSDAY: Cube steak, mashed potatoes, mixed vegeta-

bles, dinner roll, margarine, apricots, coffee and 2 percent milk.FRIDAY: Pork chop, sweet potatoes, cauliflower, bread,

margarine, dessert, coffee and 2 percent milk.

Woe is us, Buckeye fans!By JIM METCALFE

DHI Media Sports Editorå[email protected]

How quickly things can change.

One moment, we Ohio State University Buckeye football fans are salivating at the chance to be in the first-ever College Football Playoff — we’ll have to work on that name, won’t we? I’ll come up with something that the powers-that-be won’t be able to resist and get back with you, dear readers!

The next heartbeat — the moment Heisman-hopeful quarterback Braxton Miller damaged his throwing shoul-der — we’re wondering what will happen to our beloved Buckeyes.

I don’t think ANY of the college football powers: be it Alabama — we’ll have to come up with a name for that school along the lines of That Team Up North — USC, Florida or LSU; has that kind of depth to replace a Heisman hopeful.

What’s even worse is that no running back has stepped forward to grab that job — vacated by the graduated bull-dozer Carlos Hyde — by the throat and throttle it within an inch of its life to take pressure off the passing game; there are four new starting offen-sive linemen; there are no experienced backups to step in, with a redshirt freshman, J.T. Barrett, the likely new starter; and the secondary has been blown up and rebuilt.

Why, oh why, couldn’t Kenny Guiton have been around another year?

There is no doubt OSU head coach Urban Meyer knows how to recruit great talent and the Buckeyes — even with the aforementioned questions the Scarlet and Grey had coming into camp, they were ranked fifth com-ing into the season by several sources.

That talent will have to step forward in spades and live up to the hype/propa-ganda/whatever you term it.

Others have pointed out that redshirt freshmen have done wonders the last two years: Jameis Winston took the Heisman last fall for

the Florida State Seminoles and Johnny “Mr. Football” Manziel did the same in 2012 with the Texas A&M Aggies.

We shall see starting Aug. 30 versus Navy at Baltimore.

One also wonders since this will be the second shoul-der surgery done on Miller in the last six months, whether he has seen his last days as a quarterback since he plans on redshirting for next fall.

———-Do the Cincinnati Reds

have enough time to turn this faltering around?

It helps that Brandon Phillips has come back from injury but with him coming off left thumb surgery and subsequent rehab, one won-ders how effective he will be swinging the bat, especially right away?

It’s the offense that has been the undoing of this Reds team, not defense — which is the specialty of Phillips — and generally not pitching.

The starting pitching hasn’t been perfect — is it ever? — but it’s been far too good to be having this kind of season.

One also has to wonder whither Alfredo Simon?

Could his last-month woes be the result of him wearing down being a starter since he was a reliever mostly the last three seasons.

He was supposedly only a starter to start 2014 because of an injury to Mat Latos, who returned a while back.

Put him back in the bull-pen.

The Reds brought up Logan Andrusek and should have sent down J.J. Hoover.

He has been utterly miser-able this season, especially the last two games but all season.

I won’t go so far as some have — he should never pitch again for the Reds — but he shouldn’t pitch again for them this year.

Lady ‘Dawgs open soccer campaign with 5-0 whitewashBy JIM METCALFE

DHI Media Sports [email protected]

ELIDA — Elida is used to having a tough time against Maumee in girls soccer action.

The Lady Bulldogs didn’t have as difficult a time as they have had in the past Wednesday evening, posting a dominant 5-0 shutout of the Lady Panthers at the Elida Soccer Complex.

“This was a different Maumee team than we’re used to seeing. They are a lot younger this year,” Elida coach Brady Overholt explained. “Still, it’s a good way to start a season. We were supposed to open last night at Coldwater but weath-er postponed it. I felt we dominated for the most part. Defensively, we took away the one threat we knew they had and we shut them out. We didn’t give them many looks at all. so I was very pleased with our defense.”

Maumee coach Molly Hamilton admits this could be a “longer” year than normal.

“We lost 10 seniors from last year and that was a very talented class. We only have two starters back,” she added. “We are extremely young but we are also very talented. It’s just going to take some time for these girls to gel together at the varsity lev-el. We showed flashes but not consistently; I am confi-dent it will happen this year. However, we play a ridicu-lous schedule that will test us a lot but even those teams lost a lot of seniors. It’s going to come down to which one meshes quicker.”

It was an even battle for the first 14-plus minutes as both teams managed only one shot on-goal in that time.

That ended at the 25:02 mark of the first half when

Lady ‘Dawg senior Brett Pauff — who was one of the chief bedevilers of the Panthers (0-2) all night — was tackled in the 18-yard box, being rewarded with a penalty kick. Her 6-yarder was low and left past div-ing senior goalkeeper Cassie Glovier (15 saves vs. 21 shots on-goal) and a 1-0 edge.

Just 3:16 later, the same thing happened — Pauff was brought down in the box and rewarded with another PK. This time, she went hard to the right side for a 2-0 edge.

The hosts had anoth-er prime couple of chanc-es at the 17:15 mark when freshman Shyah Wheeler’s 18-yarder from the right wing was deflected by the keeper to the other side, where senior Jenna Halpern’s close-range follow was also denied.

At 11:40, Glovier again kept it close, kicking away a 6-yarder by Hope Carter off a corner kick.

However, Elida knocked

home a third goal at 1:34 when Carter — on a ricochet — went high middle over the keeper on a 16-yard center shot.

Elida has even more chances the second half — 13 — than the first but Glovier was tough (10 saves).

However, the Lady ‘Dawg attack made it 4-0 at 36:42 when Pauff crossed from right to left and found an open Halpern on the left post; her 6-yarder found its mark.

At 33:25, Pauff set up the final score. Her lead pass from midfield down the cen-ter found a streaking Carter, who beat the last defender and fired a 16-yarder to the left side of the twine for a 5-0 scoreboard.

Glovier then held firm the rest of the way except for one last superb chance at 22:22. Off a corner kick from the left side, Pauff nearly curled it in to the right side but junior defender Hailey Chaplin kicked the ball out of bounds

before it crossed the goal line.The only real chance in

the second half for the Purple and Gold came at 29:01 when junior Emma Rehberg launched an arcing 30-yarder from the left side that nearly handcuffed Elida sophomore netminder Lydia Burnett but she managed to get the save (3 saves vs. 3 shots on-goal).

Elida also showed its aggression by owning the corner kicks 11-0.

“That is one area we must address. We didn’t convert on any of them and we have to be better than that,” Overholt added. “That is where we miss a (graduated) Lindsay Hall, who was excellent with the ball in the air for four years. She was our go-to girl in that situation and right now, we don’t have one like her.”

Elida hosts Defiance 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Maumee returns to the area Saturday when they face Ottawa-Glandorf.

Elida sophomore Hope Carter uses her head to advance the ball down the pitch in the first half Wednesday evening at the Elida Soccer Complex, beating a Maumee player. (DHI Media/Jim Metcalfe)

Hoyer beats injury, Manziel to win starting jobBy TOM WITHERS

Associated Press

BEREA — Brian Hoyer defied long odds — and stiff-armed Johnny Football — to keep his dream job.

Through sweat and tears, he fought his way back from a serious knee injury only to be faced with the Browns drafting Johnny Manziel, college foot-ball’s dynamic quarterback with the cult-like following.

Hoyer, though, persevered. He endured grueling rehab to get back on the field sooner than expected, stayed focused as Manzielmania consumed the Browns, and ignored trade rumors. It will be Hoyer who will lead the Browns, his hometown team, onto the field for the Sept. 7 opener against the archrival Pittsburgh Steelers.

For a Cleveland kid cut by three NFL teams and waiting for his chance, it doesn’t get any better.

“Obviously it’s very spe-cial for me,” Hoyer said. “Did I believe this could happen after I got hurt? There was no doubt in my mind but there were days when rehab (stunk) and I hated what I was doing. It’s amazing how you appreci-ate the game when it’s taken away from you.”

Needing to fix his offense quickly, first-year Browns coach Mike Pettine chose Hoyer as his starter Wednesday over Manziel, who wasn’t able to do enough dur-ing training camp or two preseason games to convince Cleveland’s coaching staff he deserved the job.

Manziel is 0-1 as a pro.“It’s obviously disappoint-

ing,” Manziel said. “I feel like if I would have come out and played better it would have been a different outcome. I don’t think I played terrible but I didn’t do anything to jump off the page. I made strides and got better throughout training camp and that’s what I wanted to do.”

Despite a 40-percent com-pletion percentage, 57.9 rating and seeming to buckle under the pressure this month, Hoyer will start the season. However, in Cleveland that usually only guarantees one game. After all, the Browns have had 20 start-ing quarterbacks since 1999. Hoyer is the 12th QB to start the opener, a damning indict-ment toward a franchise that has only made the playoffs once in its expansion era.

The first major decision of Pettine’s coaching career wasn’t easy. He chose Hoyer’s experience over Manziel’s potential and he may have to make another switch. Pettine knows the best plans can change in an instant.

“Give me a crystal ball and I’ll tell you,” he replied when asked if Manziel will play this season. “The NFL season is so long, so much can happen. We don’t want Brian looking over his shoulder thinking one bad throw and I’m out. But over time, if you feel you have to make a change, time will tell.

“You could foresee a sce-nario where he doesn’t play this year and there are other scenarios that are absolutely possible as well. It’s hard to tell.”

Pettine brushed aside the notion Hoyer is on a short leash.

Pettine’s selection of Hoyer will finally allow the Browns to move to other things and there’s plenty of work to be done.

Pettine had targeted the third preseason game as the drop-dead date to pick his starter but after both Hoyer and Manziel looked so bad in a loss

at Washington on Monday, he met with his staff Tuesday night. He informed Hoyer and Manziel of his decision before a team meeting.

Hoyer didn’t have enough time to contact his family but while he was in the meeting, he received dozens of con-gratulatory text messages.

Nothing has ever come easy for him and although there was an outside percep-tion Manziel would prevail, the 28-year-old Hoyer wasn’t going down without a fight.

With Manziel on his heels, he can’t relax.

Manziel temporarily is pushed aside; that appears to be OK with the 21-year-old, who draws attention with every move he makes on and off the field.

Manziel has no regrets about the way he approached his competition with Hoyer. He was widely criticized for some weekend partying but the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner insists he wouldn’t change a thing. He’s developing as a player, maturing as a man and hopes to one day take over.

NOTES: Browns DE Desmond Bryant underwent wrist surgery. Pettine doesn’t know yet if Bryant, limited to 12 games last season by a heart problem, will be back for the opener.

AP source: Bengals’ LB Burfict gets 3-year deal Associated Press

CINCINNATI — The Bengals and Vontaze Burfict agreed to a 3-year contract extension that will pay the Pro Bowl linebacker a maximum of $20.05 million through 2017, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated

Press.Burfict is making $570,000

in the final year of his original deal with Cincinnati, which took a minimal risk when it signed him as an undrafted free agent from Arizona State in 2012.

Under his extension, he’ll make $10 million through

next summer, said the person speaking on condition of ano-nymity because the deal hasn’t been announced by the team or signed by the linebacker.

Burfict was sent home after he became ill on Wednesday. He could sign the deal when he’s feeling better.

Burfict has quickly

emerged as the Bengals’ top defensive player. His exten-sion comes two weeks after the Bengals got quarterback Andy Dalton — also entering the final year on his original deal — under contract through 2020 for up to $115 million.

Lady ‘Dawgs open soccer campaign with 5-0 whitewashBy JIM METCALFE

DHI Media Sports [email protected]

ELIDA — Elida is used to having a tough time against Maumee in girls soccer action.

The Lady Bulldogs didn’t have as difficult a time as they have had in the past Wednesday evening, posting a dominant 5-0 shutout of the Lady Panthers at the Elida Soccer Complex.

“This was a different Maumee team than we’re used to seeing. They are a lot younger this year,” Elida coach Brady Overholt explained. “Still, it’s a good way to start a season. We were supposed to open last night at Coldwater but weath-er postponed it. I felt we dominated for the most part. Defensively, we took away the one threat we knew they had and we shut them out. We didn’t give them many looks at all. so I was very pleased with our defense.”

Maumee coach Molly Hamilton admits this could be a “longer” year than normal.

“We lost 10 seniors from last year and that was a very talented class. We only have two starters back,” she added. “We are extremely young but we are also very talented. It’s just going to take some time for these girls to gel together at the varsity lev-el. We showed flashes but not consistently; I am confi-dent it will happen this year. However, we play a ridicu-lous schedule that will test us a lot but even those teams lost a lot of seniors. It’s going to come down to which one meshes quicker.”

It was an even battle for the first 14-plus minutes as both teams managed only one shot on-goal in that time.

That ended at the 25:02 mark of the first half when

Lady ‘Dawg senior Brett Pauff — who was one of the chief bedevilers of the Panthers (0-2) all night — was tackled in the 18-yard box, being rewarded with a penalty kick. Her 6-yarder was low and left past div-ing senior goalkeeper Cassie Glovier (15 saves vs. 21 shots on-goal) and a 1-0 edge.

Just 3:16 later, the same thing happened — Pauff was brought down in the box and rewarded with another PK. This time, she went hard to the right side for a 2-0 edge.

The hosts had anoth-er prime couple of chanc-es at the 17:15 mark when freshman Shyah Wheeler’s 18-yarder from the right wing was deflected by the keeper to the other side, where senior Jenna Halpern’s close-range follow was also denied.

At 11:40, Glovier again kept it close, kicking away a 6-yarder by Hope Carter off a corner kick.

However, Elida knocked

home a third goal at 1:34 when Carter — on a ricochet — went high middle over the keeper on a 16-yard center shot.

Elida has even more chances the second half — 13 — than the first but Glovier was tough (10 saves).

However, the Lady ‘Dawg attack made it 4-0 at 36:42 when Pauff crossed from right to left and found an open Halpern on the left post; her 6-yarder found its mark.

At 33:25, Pauff set up the final score. Her lead pass from midfield down the cen-ter found a streaking Carter, who beat the last defender and fired a 16-yarder to the left side of the twine for a 5-0 scoreboard.

Glovier then held firm the rest of the way except for one last superb chance at 22:22. Off a corner kick from the left side, Pauff nearly curled it in to the right side but junior defender Hailey Chaplin kicked the ball out of bounds

before it crossed the goal line.The only real chance in

the second half for the Purple and Gold came at 29:01 when junior Emma Rehberg launched an arcing 30-yarder from the left side that nearly handcuffed Elida sophomore netminder Lydia Burnett but she managed to get the save (3 saves vs. 3 shots on-goal).

Elida also showed its aggression by owning the corner kicks 11-0.

“That is one area we must address. We didn’t convert on any of them and we have to be better than that,” Overholt added. “That is where we miss a (graduated) Lindsay Hall, who was excellent with the ball in the air for four years. She was our go-to girl in that situation and right now, we don’t have one like her.”

Elida hosts Defiance 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Maumee returns to the area Saturday when they face Ottawa-Glandorf.

Hoyer beats injury, Manziel to win starting jobBy TOM WITHERS

Associated Press

BEREA — Brian Hoyer defied long odds — and stiff-armed Johnny Football — to keep his dream job.

Through sweat and tears, he fought his way back from a serious knee injury only to be faced with the Browns drafting Johnny Manziel, college foot-ball’s dynamic quarterback with the cult-like following.

Hoyer, though, persevered. He endured grueling rehab to get back on the field sooner than expected, stayed focused as Manzielmania consumed the Browns, and ignored trade rumors. It will be Hoyer who will lead the Browns, his hometown team, onto the field for the Sept. 7 opener against the archrival Pittsburgh Steelers.

For a Cleveland kid cut by three NFL teams and waiting for his chance, it doesn’t get any better.

“Obviously it’s very spe-cial for me,” Hoyer said. “Did I believe this could happen after I got hurt? There was no doubt in my mind but there were days when rehab (stunk) and I hated what I was doing. It’s amazing how you appreci-ate the game when it’s taken away from you.”

Needing to fix his offense quickly, first-year Browns coach Mike Pettine chose Hoyer as his starter Wednesday over Manziel, who wasn’t able to do enough dur-ing training camp or two preseason games to convince Cleveland’s coaching staff he deserved the job.

Manziel is 0-1 as a pro.“It’s obviously disappoint-

ing,” Manziel said. “I feel like if I would have come out and played better it would have been a different outcome. I don’t think I played terrible but I didn’t do anything to jump off the page. I made strides and got better throughout training camp and that’s what I wanted to do.”

Despite a 40-percent com-pletion percentage, 57.9 rating and seeming to buckle under the pressure this month, Hoyer will start the season. However, in Cleveland that usually only guarantees one game. After all, the Browns have had 20 start-ing quarterbacks since 1999. Hoyer is the 12th QB to start the opener, a damning indict-ment toward a franchise that has only made the playoffs once in its expansion era.

The first major decision of Pettine’s coaching career wasn’t easy. He chose Hoyer’s experience over Manziel’s potential and he may have to make another switch. Pettine knows the best plans can change in an instant.

“Give me a crystal ball and I’ll tell you,” he replied when asked if Manziel will play this season. “The NFL season is so long, so much can happen. We don’t want Brian looking over his shoulder thinking one bad throw and I’m out. But over time, if you feel you have to make a change, time will tell.

“You could foresee a sce-nario where he doesn’t play this year and there are other scenarios that are absolutely possible as well. It’s hard to tell.”

Pettine brushed aside the notion Hoyer is on a short leash.

Pettine’s selection of Hoyer will finally allow the Browns to move to other things and there’s plenty of work to be done.

Pettine had targeted the third preseason game as the drop-dead date to pick his starter but after both Hoyer and Manziel looked so bad in a loss

at Washington on Monday, he met with his staff Tuesday night. He informed Hoyer and Manziel of his decision before a team meeting.

Hoyer didn’t have enough time to contact his family but while he was in the meeting, he received dozens of con-gratulatory text messages.

Nothing has ever come easy for him and although there was an outside percep-tion Manziel would prevail, the 28-year-old Hoyer wasn’t going down without a fight.

With Manziel on his heels, he can’t relax.

Manziel temporarily is pushed aside; that appears to be OK with the 21-year-old, who draws attention with every move he makes on and off the field.

Manziel has no regrets about the way he approached his competition with Hoyer. He was widely criticized for some weekend partying but the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner insists he wouldn’t change a thing. He’s developing as a player, maturing as a man and hopes to one day take over.

NOTES: Browns DE Desmond Bryant underwent wrist surgery. Pettine doesn’t know yet if Bryant, limited to 12 games last season by a heart problem, will be back for the opener.

AP source: Bengals’ LB Burfict gets 3-year deal Associated Press

CINCINNATI — The Bengals and Vontaze Burfict agreed to a 3-year contract extension that will pay the Pro Bowl linebacker a maximum of $20.05 million through 2017, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated

Press.Burfict is making $570,000

in the final year of his original deal with Cincinnati, which took a minimal risk when it signed him as an undrafted free agent from Arizona State in 2012.

Under his extension, he’ll make $10 million through

next summer, said the person speaking on condition of ano-nymity because the deal hasn’t been announced by the team or signed by the linebacker.

Burfict was sent home after he became ill on Wednesday. He could sign the deal when he’s feeling better.

Burfict has quickly

emerged as the Bengals’ top defensive player. His exten-sion comes two weeks after the Bengals got quarterback Andy Dalton — also entering the final year on his original deal — under contract through 2020 for up to $115 million.

Toyota manufacturer looking for horsepower in NASCAR engines

By JENNA FRYERAssociated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Denny Hamlin was clear-ly frustrated a week ago at Michigan, when some jockey-ing for position led to a con-frontation with Dale Earnhardt Jr. after the race.

His Toyota engine is at the root of Hamlin’s displeasure and the manufacturer doesn’t disagree. Hamlin said after Sunday’s race that he’s doing everything he can to keep up with the Hendrick Motorsports engines.

“We need to be better,” said David Wilson, president of Toyota Racing Development. “The folks over at the Hendrick shop have done a great job this year and they’ve got an edge, not just on us but the others as well.”

At this time a year ago, Toyota was headed to Bristol Motor Speedway with nine Sprint Cup wins. The manu-facturer picked up another two with consecutive victories at Bristol and Atlanta. This year, Toyota has just two Cup wins with Saturday night’s race coming up at Bristol.

“For whatever reason, we

got off to a bad start this year,” said team owner Joe Gibbs, has Toyota’s only two victo-ries this year. “We’re trying to close hard and trying to put ourselves in a good posi-tion. We’ve got some good updates coming in the motor and so hopefully we get hot at the right time. We’ve been behind.”

Wilson doesn’t know how far Toyota is behind in horse-power; manufacturers know their own engines but not the details of their rivals’ engines. Wilson said he doesn’t think it’s as bad as Hamlin portrayed.

“We’re not down 50 horse-power, I guarantee you that,” Wilson said. “But we also rec-ognize we need to be better and have been very, very candid

and open that we’re continuing to work to make sure when we get to the Chase, we’re more competitive.”

Both Hamlin and Kyle Busch have wins this season and will make the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship. Matt Kenseth, who had a series-high seven victories a year ago, is winless but should make the Chase on points. Michael Waltrip Racing driver Clint Bowyer is also winless and on the bubble of making the Chase.

“As an engine builder, we always say, ‘You’re never good enough’,” Wilson add-ed. “Find me a driver that’s ever happy with their engine performance and you’re going to find a not very good driver.”

NASCAR TEST: NASCAR hopes to have the 2015 rules package ready by next month so teams can begin working on next year’s cars.

Gene Stefanyshyn, NASCAR’s vice president of inno-vation and racing development, said a Monday test at Michigan International Speedway empha-sized rules for intermediate tracks with no plans for a second test.

NASCAR had teams first test a rear differential gear change fol-lowed by different aerodynamics

packages. NASCAR used aero-dynamic plates called dive planes under the front bumper to help bal-ance the car with a bigger, 9-inch spoiler.

NASCAR also attempted to a package that let drivers adjust the track bar inside the car them-selves.

“The aero package will knock a bit of a speed off the end of the straightaway because we have a bit more drag on the car,” Stefanyshyn added. “I think taking some speed off is the direction we’re headed. The amount, we will wait to see what the information shows us.”

NASCAR tested at three dif-ferent power levels: 850 horse-power, 800 horsepower and 750 horsepower.

__HORNISH-NBC SPORTS: Sam Hornish Jr. will be back with IndyCar this weekend as a guest analyst for NBC Sports Network’s coverage of Sunday’s race at Sonoma.

Hornish will join analyst Paul Tracy and play-by-play announcer Brian Till in the booth. Hornish and Tracy have a combined 50 wins in open wheel racing.

Hornish, who is currently run-ning a part-time Nationwide Series schedule for Joe Gibbs Racing, is a 3-time IndyCar champion. His 2006 championship was the last for Team Penske, which heads into Sonoma in command of the title race. Will Power and Helio Castroneves, both Penske drivers, are ranked first and second in the IndyCar standings with two races remaining. Juan Pablo Montoya is fifth in points.

3-year deal was ending, the Bengals could have kept him as a restricted free agent next year for $3.8 million. The extension gives them some certainty with his contract over the next four seasons.

The linebacker has gotten beyond the issues that made every team wary of drafting him. He let his emotions get in the way at Arizona State, where he was repeatedly penalized and disciplined for personal fouls.

A low point was a 2010 game when Burfict head-butted Oregon State quarterback Ryan Katz. Later, he was benched during a game for getting two personal fouls in the first half. After a poor showing at the 2012 combine, nobody was willing to draft him — not even in the seventh round.

The Bengals signed him for a minimal contract and he was a starter by the end of his rookie season.

Last year, he led the team in tackles 12 times, was honored as the AFC’s defensive player of the week for a 15-tackle performance against Cleveland that included a fumble return for a touchdown and made his first Pro Bowl.

HOF senior panel tabs Tingelhoff as 2015 finalist

CANTON — Former Minnesota Vikings center Mick Tingelhoff has been nominated as the senior finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s 2015 class of inductees.

The Hall of Fame made the announcement Wednesday.

Tingelhoff will join 15 mod-ern-era finalists and two contribu-tor finalists on the ballot but the endorsement from the Hall of Fame’s senior committee was a big step toward enshrinement for the 6-time Pro Bowl pick. Tingelhoff went undrafted out of Nebraska in 1962, yet became a starter as a rookie and kept the job his whole career until retiring after the 1978 season.

Tingelhoff never missed a game and was a key part of Vikings teams that won 10 divi-sion titles and reached four Super Bowls.

Senior nominees are players whose careers ended at least 25 years ago.

AFC North trying to regain reputation as the bestBy JOE KAY

Associated Press

CINCINNATI — They do things a little differently in the AFC North.

They’re patient with their coaches and quarterbacks — well, with the exception of Cleveland, which is in a league of its own when it comes to change.

They develop a style and stick with it, win or lose.And it’s worked.

The AFC North is coming off what amounts to a down year for the NFL’s most suc-cessful division over the past six years. Only one team reached the playoffs, Cincinnati, which lost in the opening round for the third year in a row.

The Bengals’ response? Give the coach and the quarter-back contract extensions.

“You see some of the teams in the North, just the way they go about the game is a little dif-ferent from some teams across the league,” Bengals offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth said.

Defending champion Cincinnati has undergone the fewest offseason changes, aiming for a franchise-record fourth straight trip to the play-

offs. The Steelers and Ravens have adjusted their rosters but stayed with their overriding philosophies.

And then there’s Cleveland, where the only thing that hasn’t got lost in the shuffle is the non-stop losing.

Some things to watch in the AFC North this season:

THE DOMINANT DIVISION: No other division has sent as many teams to the playoffs over the last six years. A dozen teams reached the post-season over that span, two more than any other division. The North’s streak of five straight years with multiple playoff teams ended last season.

Northerners have reached the Super Bowl three times over that span, claiming two titles. Last year was the first time since the 2009 season that the North didn’t get at least one

playoff victory.ANDY’S TIME: No quar-

terback in the division will be under more scrutiny than Andy Dalton, who has been as good as it gets during the regular season and at his very worst in the playoffs. The Bengals gave him a 6-year contract extension even though he’s 0-3 in the postseason.

He fell apart during the sec-ond half of a 27-10 playoff loss to San Diego last season. The Bengals haven’t won a playoff game since 1990, tied for the sixth-longest streak of futility in league history.

“The guys have stuck with me from the time that I’ve been here,” Dalton said. “I had to earn their respect at the begin-ning and now I feel like I have their respect. Yeah, the (play-off) game didn’t go how we wanted it to. I was a big part of

the reason why we lost.”LET BEN BE BEN: The

Steelers went 6-2 down the stretch to stay in playoff con-tention last season before fin-ishing 8-8, missing out on the postseason for the second year in a row. The Steelers gave 2-time Super Bowl champion Ben Roethlisberger more free-dom in a no-huddle offense during the late surge and will be looking for more of the same.

Only seven players were left from their last Super Bowl title team when they opened camp.

“There is a sense of urgen-cy,” said receiver Lance Moore, one of the newcomers. “We know 8-8 is not what this orga-nization is all about. This orga-nization is about competing for championships and we’re going to be willing to do whatever it takes to get back to that.”

Dear AbbyCousin’s tag-along kids pushthe limit of bride’s guest list

Dr. Anthony Komoroff

OnHealth

Time-out must be enforced to be effective DEAR DOCTOR

K: You’ve mentioned time-outs as an appropriate way to discipline young children. But they don’t work for my son, at least the way I’m doing them. What can I do differently?

DEAR READER: When children are young, discipline means teaching them self-control and the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behaviors. One way to do this is with a time-out.

The technique doesn’t work well for kids younger than 18 months. After that age, however, your child can increasingly understand what you are saying. Explaining

to the child calmly what he did wrong adds to the effectiveness of the time-out.

A time-out involves taking a “break” away from a difficult situation and spending time in a less appealing place. A time-out is a chance for your son to cool down and think about his behavior.

The following tips may help make your son’s time-outs more effective:

-- Know when to use one. Time-outs are most useful for aggressive, harmful or disruptive behaviors such as hitting, kicking, biting or throwing things -- all behaviors that cannot be ignored. That’s because a time-out teaches peaceful

problem solving. Time-outs are usually less effective for behaviors that can be ignored, such as temper tantrums or whining.

-- Make sure you mean it when you say it. A time-out rarely works if you threaten to use it without following through. Once you’ve decided to give one, no amount of apologizing, tears or negotiation should change that decision.

-- Make sure a time-out is actually happening. A time-out must be enforced so that it actually happens. If your child refuses to stay in time-out, place him in the time-out chair and hold him gently but firmly by the shoulders from behind for the duration of time-out. There should be no discussion or negotiation during this time. Don’t sit in the time-out chair yourself and hold the child on your lap. That’s fine to do as positive reinforcement when the child is behaving well. But not when he’s been misbehaving and needs some negative feedback.

-- Make sure the place is right. Remember that time-

out works because it removes your child from his favorite activities and takes him away from your attention. Make sure the time-out chair is in a boring place, where your son cannot see the television or other people.

Sometimes a time-out will be necessary when you and your child are not in your home. Wherever you are, perhaps in a shopping mall, be sure that the location you choose for the time-out will be really boring for your child. An important part of making a time-out effective is making it boring, as kids hate to be bored, even more than we do.

-- Make sure time-out doesn’t last too long. Do not keep your child in time-out for more than one minute for each year of age (for example, about three minutes for a 3-year-old).

-- Finally, praise good behavior. Make sure your child knows that he will get more attention from you for positive behaviors than for negative behaviors.

UCLICK FOR UFS

DEAR ABBY: I am being married later this year, and I’m planning my guest list. My cousin “Emily” has five young children who I’m making an exception to invite. She lives across the country, so she’s starting to book her plane reservations. Emily just announced that she’s being remarried and her fiance has three children he shares joint custody of. Am I obligated to invite three children I have never met? This is causing a lot of grief between me and my fiance because Emily assumes that they are all welcome. Please advise. -- D.C. IN NYC DEAR D.C.: Call Cousin Emily. Explain that your guest list is limited and that her five children -- to whom you are related -- are the exceptions. No other children have been invited to the wedding, and you would prefer to get to know her fiance’s children under less stressful circumstances. Emily’s wrong to assume she can include anyone whose name wasn’t on her wedding invitation. The children can stay with their mother or grandparents during the time their father will be away. DEAR ABBY: My husband prefers leftovers to sandwiches for his work lunch. He generally takes them in reusable plastic bowls that claim to be dishwasher and microwave safe. After a short time, these bowls become terribly stained. Not only are they unsightly, but sometimes they harbor odors. Even though they have been thoroughly washed, they seem unclean. We have

noticed this happens more often with tomato-based food like spaghetti or barbecue. I have tried soaking the bowls overnight in dishwashing detergent and even using a small amount of bleach, but the stains remain. Is there a way to remove the stains and odors, or must I continue to buy new bowls and throw the stained ones out? -- BOWLED OVER IN ALABAMA DEAR BOWLED OVER: According to “Haley’s Hints,” by Graham and Rosemary Haley (New American Library), if you soak the bowls and lids in cold water for five minutes or more before putting the leftovers into them, you can prevent the staining from happening. And the odors can be removed by placing crumpled newspaper inside them and putting the tops on before storing them. (This is also an effective way to deodorize shoes.)

DEAR ABBY: My daughter just got remarried to a man who has a 10-year-old son. I don’t know the boy at all. What is the appropriate name he should call me? My daughter already has two boys from her first marriage and they, of course, call me Grandma. I don’t feel comfortable having her new stepson call me Grandma. Any suggestions? -- NAMELESS IN NEW YORK DEAR NAMELESS: Is your heart really so closed that you would tell that boy he isn’t welcome in it? I urge you to be more accepting of this child, or you may get a name that isn’t fit for a family newspaper -- and not only will the boy be using it, but also his father.

Jennings students’ scores com-pared to state average, in parenthe-sis, include: English, 21.5 (21.4); Mathematics, 24.7 (21.7); Reading, 22.7 (22.4); Science, 23.4 (22.0); and Composition, 23.3 (22.0).

Board members approved the A La Carte in the cafeteria and the 2014/15 elementary handbook.

“There were seven items that had minimal price changes from last year,” Langhals said.

Members also agreed to enter into a contract to pay Wood County Juvenile Detention Center $64 per day for each student in the facility and $64 per day for each student at the Juvenile Residential Center of Northwest Ohio receiving long-term care. The daily rate for Wood County Alternative School students will be $45.

Board members also approved the tentative bus routes for the 2014/15 school year, which the Superintendent reserves the right to alter as needed.

“The routes may need adjustment by the bus drivers due to new stu-dents being added to a route or a change in drop offs,” Langhals said. “The bus drivers have similar routes to last year and we will finalize them in September.”

Todd Hoehn was recommended for the position of Elementary Student Council Advisor for the 2014/15 school year.

“Since Mr. Hoehn will be interact-ing with the elementary students, it will be a good transition to have a veteran teacher down there with Mr. Dubé,” Langhals explained.

A resolution was unanimously passed by all members to join the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA) Workers Compensation

Group which enables small to medi-um-size districts with better than average claim histories to combine claim expenses and rate calculations and take advantage of premium sav-ings larger districts enjoy.

New Elementary Principal Matthew Dubé said it was a great first day of school with lots of ener-gy, especially at lunch.

“It was a really good experience for me,” he said.

Dubé announced Sept. 11 will be the day the school holds its vision screenings for kindergartners, first-, third- and fifth-graders and Scoliosis screening for sixth-graders.

Treasurer Valerie Maag said the school will save 40-45 percent on premiums.

The next school board meet-ing will be held at 7:30 p.m. on September 17 in the school’s library.


“We usually come out on the short end of open enrollment but we made out pretty well this year,” Superintendent Scott Mangas said during Wednesday’s school board meeting.

Student will come in to the district from Delphos, Fort Jennings, Kalida, Lincolnview, Paulding, Wayne Trace, Van Wert and Continental.

Ottoville will also raise its lunch prices 10 cents across the board. A student lunch will be $2.15 and an adult $2.40. The hike is due to federal mandates. Under the mandate, students’ lunches at schools with free- and reduced-lunch students must have a weighted average of $2.70. If not, the district must raise prices 10 cents per year until they reach the average. This is the third year the district has raised prices 10 cents.

Arp’s Dairy will continue to provide the district with dairy products and juice and Nickles Bakery baked goods for the 2014-15 school year.

The board accepted numerous donations, including $1,922 from Pepsi Bottling Company for contract donations; $35.10 from US Green Fiber for recycling; $4,249 from the Ottoville Big Green Athletic Boosters for a volleyball machine; $214 from the Putnam County Ag Society for the band’s appearance at the fair; and $500 each from the Ottoville Home & School and Ottoville Music Boosters for liability insurance.

In other action, the board:Approved payment to the “on call” custodian for the 2014-15

school year at $25 per game for all home varsity basketball games;• Approved payment to ticket takers, scorekeepers and timers

for the 2014-15 school year at $25 per game for all home sporting events;

• Approved Katie Schnipke as the official school photographer for this school year;

• Approved the adult and student tickets for all high school contests at $6 and $4 respectively. All tickets at the door will be $6;

• Approved the resignation of Susan Jones as junior high var-sity track and assistant varsity track coach;

• Approved all bus stops for the school year and appointed Mangas to make any changes necessary throughout the school year as needed; and

• Approved Angela Birkemeier as a Summer Intervention teacher.

The Sept. 24 meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Cloverdale at the St. Barbara Parish Center.


75 Years Ago – 1939The Delphos Daisies

defeated Middle Point at city field Sunday afternoon by a score of 7 to 0. C. Ditto pitched the first seven innings for the locals. He held Middle Point to two singles. Jimmy Lang, new addition to the pitching staff, hurled the last two innings and allowed two hits. H. Ditto was on the receiving end.

The 19th annual Allen County (Delphos) Fair will open officially at 1 p.m. Tuesday, which is Pioneer Day, and pioneers of Allen, Van Wert and Putnam counties will meet at the Jettinghoff and Beckman Store on West Second Street

with Joseph Jettinghoff, city historian. Delphos Eagles band, under the direction of William G. Point, will be on duty during the afternoon and evening.

Football will soon resume its place as the center of local sports interest, with practice for the autumn season sched-uled to start Sept. 1. The absence of Dan Foster, last year’s captain and running back field ace, leaves the biggest hole to fill. Looking over the spring training squad, Co-captain Herbert Dunlap, spiced up by enough reserves, should clear the way for a versatile backfield. Co-captain Dale Van Meter proved a touch down runner in spring drills.

Last 4 hostages freed in suburban Chicago standoffBY M. SPENCER GREEN

and JASON KEYSERAssociated Press

HARVEY, Ill. — About two dozen heavily armed law enforce-ment officers stormed a home in Chicago’s southern suburbs Wednesday to free four remain-ing hostages and capture two sus-pects, ending a 20-hour standoff that police say began as a robbery attempt.

Two women and two children were freed midmorning from the home in the small city of Harvey, with the captors at one point fir-ing through a second-floor door as officers rushed toward it down a hallway, said Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart.

Footage shot by a TV news heli-copter showed officers with body armor, shields and rifles rushing toward the home from two direc-tions and sweeping in through the front door as other officers aimed weapons and took cover near two

large armored vehicles parked out front.

Four children had been freed overnight after hours of talks and the hostage-takers were given ciga-rettes in exchange, Dart said.

The decision to send armed offi-cers in came after nearly continu-ous negotiations, during which the hostage-takers intermittently issued threats, saying “they were going to kill the kids ... to kill everybody,” the sheriff told The Associated Press in a phone interview later Wednesday.

“It was a roller-coaster ride,” said Dart, who had been on the scene during the all-night talks. “It went from idle chatter to threats, then back to idle chatter to threats again.”

The shots through the door missed officers running up stairs and down the hallway, and officers immediately broke through the door and managed to subdue the hostage-takers, Dart said.

Minutes later, officers ran from

the house with the remaining hos-tages, leading them by hand to an armored truck, then brought out two men in handcuffs.

Dart did not immediately have the name of the suspects, but he said they appeared to have violent criminal histories.

The standoff began at 12:45 p.m. Tuesday when police in Harvey responded to a neighbor’s report of a possible burglary at the home. Two officers were wounded in an initial exchange of gunfire, and the two suspects barricaded themselves inside the home with the eight cap-tives.

Officer Darnell Keel, an 18-year veteran of the police force, will undergo surgery for a broken arm, Howard said. A second officer suf-fered a graze wound to an arm.

Dart said talks reached a stale-mate at late morning. Negotiators still had an open phone line as the officers used a battering ram on an armored truck to break down the door and sweep in.

“We’d been giving them oppor-tunities for the last almost 24 hours to come out,” he said, adding that hostage specialists concluded it was the right time to act.

Officers knew both the hostage-takers and the hostages were on the second floor and quickly marched up the stairs after securing the ground floor, Dart said.

It was initially thought no shots were fired during the rescue, but Dart told the AP it became clear later the captors had shot at officers during the operation that lasted just minutes.

The hostage-takers didn’t speak directly to negotiators, but instead used one of the women to relay messages back and forth over the phone, Dart said.

Four of the captive children were from one family and the other two were relatives, according to Dart, adding that nothing indicated any relationship between them and the hostage-takers. One of the adult women held captive is a nurse who

was at the home to care for a 2-year-old girl.

No one was hurt physically, but they did show signs of an emotional toll, Dart said. Some of the children were just 1 year old.

“The hostages were hysterical,” Dart said about their rescue. “They were screaming and unable to talk.”

The hostage-takers allowed one of the adult hostages, a nurse, to escort the first four children they released. The woman then had to re-enter the house.

Thomas West told local radio and TV stations that his aunt, the nurse, told him she was glad to get the children out. However, she also feared that by going back into the house, she might not come out again.

“She said all she did was fall in line, did what she was told and that’s the way she was able to get out alive,” West said. “They allowed her to nurse to the kids, feed them, get them what they need.”

High court blocks same-sex unions in VirginiaBY MICHAEL

FELBERBAUMAssociated Press

RICHMOND, Va. — Same-sex couples will have to forget their plans to marry in Virginia — at least for now — after the U.S. Supreme Court agreed Wednesday to delay an appeals court ruling striking down the state’s gay marriage ban.

The nation’s highest court granted a request from a coun-ty clerk in northern Virginia to delay a decision by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond that would have allowed for same-sex couples to marry beginning today morning. The state would have also had to start recog-nizing gay marriages from out of state if the Supreme Court had denied the request. The court provided no explanation for its order.

The Supreme Court’s deci-sion was not unexpected, as it previously issued an order

in January putting same-sex unions on hold in Utah. A fed-eral appeals court had upheld a decision striking down Utah’s ban. Most other federal court decisions in favor of same-sex marriage also have been put on hold.

By granting the delay, the Supreme Court is making clear that it “believes a digni-fied process is better than dis-order,” said Byron Babione, senior counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom, a con-servative legal group based in Scottsdale, Arizona, that supported the challenge by the two Virginia circuit court clerks whose duties include issuing marriage licenses.

“Virginians deserve an orderly and fair resolution to the question of whether they will remain free to pre-serve marriage as the union of a man and a woman in their laws,” Babione said in a statement.

Supporters of same-sex mar-riage were disappointed, saying

gay and lesbian couples have waited long enough to marry.

“Loving couples — and families — should not have to endure yet another stand-still before their commitment to one another is recognized here in Virginia,” James Parrish, executive director of Equality Virginia, said in a statement.

While awaiting the court’s ruling, Virginia officials and some clergy members were preparing for the possibility that same-sex couples would have been able to wed by drafting a revised marriage license form for courthouse clerks. Some clerks in urban areas were also preparing for an influx of marriage license applicants by bringing in deputy clerks to assist with marriage licenses and setting up overflow rooms.

Earlier this year, the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law esti-mated that as many as 7,100 same-sex Virginia couples

could get married within three years of a change in law. That’s based on 2010 Census figures showing Virginia had 14,243 same-sex couples and past expe-riences with Massachusetts after gay marriage was legal-ized there.

Virginia voters approved a constitutional amendment in 2006 that banned gay mar-riage and prohibited the rec-ognition of such marriages performed in other states. State Attorney General Mark Herring has said he will not defend the ban and believes the courts were correct in striking it down.

The appeals court ruling overturning that ban was the third such ruling by a federal appeals court and the first in the South, a region where the rising tide of rulings favor-ing marriage equality is test-ing concepts of states’ rights and traditional, conservative moral values that have long held sway.

Truth be told, we’re both perplexed about which Emmy nominees will carry trophies home from Monday’s ceremony.

Allow us to explain. There was so much great TV last season that standout prime-time shows including “The Good Wife” and “Scandal” and stars Michael Sheen (“Masters of Sex”) and James Spader (“The Blacklist”) didn’t even make the cut as nominees.

Those who did are, for the most part, richly deserving. But now how to choose among them?

Then there’s this year’s notable trend of shape-shifting, with programs squeezed into categories that could give them better odds of winning — even if the fit might raise viewers’ eyebrows.

Cases in point: Netflix’s prison-set “Orange Is the New Black,” which despite its dark content is vying with the likes of “Modern Family” for comedy laurels, and HBO’s “True Detective,” which looks all the world like a miniseries yet is gunning for “Mad Men” and other open-ended dramas.

Thanks, TV academy, for keeping us all guessing!

Even so, this pair of TV devotees are game to try to read the minds of Emmy voters and, in a bit of bravado, offer up our choices for the best of the best.

Here are the contenders and our own sometimes clashing, sometimes matching picks for seven major categories:

DRAMA SERIES:LYNN ELBERShould win: “Game of Thrones.” An epic

series from epic novels. Drop the anti-fantasy bias, Emmy.

Will win: “True Detective.” Such a bril-liant miniseries. But we quibble, and voters won’t.

FRAZIER MOOREShould win: “True Detective.” Grim, grit-

ty, wickedly addictive.Will win: “True Detective.” How could

Emmy snub this true masterpiece?COMEDY SERIES:ELBERShould win: “Louie.” Honesty is the best

policy — and so brutally funny.Will win: “Modern Family.” It’s big-heart-

ed and on broadcast TV. Old school wins one.MOOREShould win: “Louie.” Emmy needs to

kick the “Modern Family” habit.Will win: “Veep.” Emmy will kick the

habit — by rewarding the wrong show.ACTOR, DRAMA SERIES:ELBERShould win: Bryan Cranston, “Breaking

Bad.” His deserving swan song, powerful to the end.

Will win: Matthew McConaughey. Impeccable performance. Plus he seduced Oscar, so how can Emmy resist?

MOOREShould win: Matthew McConaughey,

“True Detective.” Edges out co-star Woody Harrelson only because he got to play two roles — not just one — brilliantly.

Will win: Jon Hamm, “Mad Men.” Enhanced his character’s palette with new colors this season. With time running out for him, the Susan Lucci tease will end.

ACTRESS, DRAMA SERIES:ELBERShould win: Kerry Washington,

“Scandal.” Carries a mad, mad world on her shoulders with aplomb.

Will win: Robin Wright, “House of Cards.” Goes beat-for-beat with Kevin Spacey. That’s impressive power.

MOOREShould win: Kerry Washington,

“Scandal.” Fiery, fearsome, outrageous and yet lovable.

Will win: Robin Wright, “House of Cards.” She plays a chilly, not blazing, D.C.

powerbroker. Her cool will rule.ACTOR, COMEDY SERIES:ELBERShould win: Don Cheadle, “House of

Lies.” Comedy is hard? Not in the hands of this supremely versatile actor.

Will win: William H. Macy, “Shameless.” Emmy feels better saluting his depraved dad for comedy than drama.

MOOREShould win: William H. Macy,

“Shameless.” A great actor in a go-for-broke performance. Plus, a great head of hair!

Will win: Louis C.K., “Louie.” More comedy, more soul than his rivals in this unique artist’s portrait of himself.

ACTRESS, COMEDY SERIES:ELBERShould win: Amy Poehler, “Parks and

Recreation.” Wittily brings can-do perkiness back to TV.

Will win: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, “Veep,” HBO. But let’s get real: a me-first politician rules again with voters.

MOOREShould win: Amy Poehler, “Parks and

Recreation.” Her performance radiates sun-shine even Emmy snubs can’t dim.

Will win: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, “Veep.” But she’s pressing reasonable term limits for Emmy’s largesse.

MINISERIES:ELBERShould win: “Fargo.” A glorious movie

made new by TV’s narrative form.Will win: “Fargo.” Emmy won’t miss a

chance to remind all that drama’s heyday is on the small screen.

MOOREShould win: “Fargo.” A Tiffany egg of a

miniseries in its painstaking perfection. Plus it’s bitterly hilarious.

Will win: “Fargo.” Emmy has moments of myopia, but it ain’t blind.

And the Emmy winners are...? We’re happy to guess!

US hostage rescue attempt in Syria failedBY JULIE PACEAssociated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama sent special operations troops to Syria this summer on a secret mission to rescue American hostages, including journalist James Foley, held by Islamic State extremists, but they did not find them, the administration disclosed Wednesday.

Officials said the rescue mission was authorized after intelligence agencies believed they had identified the loca-tion inside Syria where the hostages were being held. But the several dozen special operations forces dropped by air-craft into Syria did not find them at that location and engaged in a firefight with Islamic State militants before departing, killing several militants. No Americans died but one sustained a minor injury when an aircraft was hit.

“The U.S. government had what we believed was sufficient intelligence, and when the opportunity presented itself, the president authorized the Department of Defense to move aggressively to recover our citizens,” said Lisa Monaco, Obama’s top counterterrorism advis-er, in a statement. “Unfortunately, that mission was ultimately not successful because the hostages were not present.”

The administration revealed the res-cue operation a day after the militants released a video showing the beheading of Foley and threatened to kill a second

hostage, Steven Sotloff, if U.S. airstrikes against the militants in Iraq continued.

Despite the militants’ threats, the U.S. launched a new barrage of air-strikes against Islamic State targets in Syria Wednesday. The Obama adminis-tration did not rule out the prospect of a military operation in Syria to bring those responsible for Foley’s death to justice.

The disclosure of the rescue mis-sion marks the first time the U.S. has revealed that American military person-nel have been on the ground in Syria since a bloody civil war there broke out more than three years ago. Obama has resisted calls to insert the U.S. military in the middle of Syria’s war, a cautious approach his critics say has allowed the Islamic State to strengthen there and make gains across the border in Iraq.

Caitlin Hayden, spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council, said the administration never intend-ed to disclose the operation. But she said the U.S. went public with mission Wednesday because a number of media outlets were preparing to report on the operation and the administration “would have no choice but to acknowledge it.”

In a statement Wednesday night, Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby said: “As we have said repeatedly, the United States government is com-mitted to the safety and well-being of its citizens, particularly those suffering in captivity. In this case, we put the best of the United States military in harm’s way

to try and bring our citizens home.”It’s unclear how many Americans

the special forces attempted to rescue in Syria. While the officials who described the mission would not provide an exact number, other U.S. officials, who were not authorized to speak publicly, have said Foley was one of at least four Americans held in Syria.

Like Foley, two others are believed to have been kidnapped by the Islamic State. The fourth, freelance journalist Austin Tice, disappeared in Syria in August 2012 and is believed to be in the custody of government forces in Syria.

Administration officials would not say specifically when or where the oper-ation took place, citing the need to protect operational details in order to preserve the ability to carry out future rescue missions. They did say that near-ly every branch of the military was involved and that the special forces on the ground were supported from the air by fixed wing, rotary and surveillance aircraft.

Obama has authorized previous mili-tary missions to rescue hostages. In 2009, Navy SEAL snipers carried out a daring sea operation to rescue an American ship captain held by Somali pirates in a lifeboat. And in 2012, spe-cial operations forces successfully res-cued an American and Dutch aid worked held in Somalia.

Picture emerges of officer in

Ferguson shootingFERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — A white police officer

whose shooting death of an unarmed black 18-year-old ignited racial upheaval in a St. Louis suburb has been characterized as either an aggressor whose deadly gunfire constituted a daylight execution or a law enforcer wrongly maligned for just doing his job.

An incomplete picture of Texas-born Ferguson officer Darren Wilson has emerged since Aug. 9, when authori-ties say the white six-year police veteran killed Michael Brown during a confrontation in the predominantly black city where all but three of the 53 police officers are white.

The Brown family’s attorneys have labeled Wilson as a murderer, though the investigation continues and no charges have been filed. The 28-year-old officer has gone underground since the shooting, with relatives contacted by The Associated Press refusing to reveal his whereabouts or discuss the shooting or Wilson’s background.

But snippets of his life have emerged. His parents were married only four years before divorcing in 1989 in Texas. Court records say he divorced last November. His mother, a convicted forger and alleged con artist, died 12 years ago. Wilson got a commendation in February from the Ferguson police force, four years into his job there.

An online fundraising drive on Wilson’s behalf as of Thursday had drawn more than $77,000 in donations for the tall, slender and blond-haired cop. And a longtime friend — former high school classmate and hockey buddy Jake Shepard — publicly has come to Wilson’s defense, insisting in interviews that the shy Wilson would never maliciously take a life and fears possible retribution.

Having talked to Wilson since the shooting, Shepard said, “I think he’s kind of struggling a little bit, but I think he’s doing OK.”

“He didn’t really want to talk much about it,” Shepard, also 28, said of Brown’s death. “But I can tell you for sure it was not racially motivated. He’s not the type of person to harbor any hate for anybody. He was always nice, respectable and well-mannered, a gentleman. He doesn’t have anything bad to say about anybody, ever. He’s very genuine.”

Similar depictions of Wilson, who has been on paid administrative leave since Brown’s death, have come from his boss, Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson.
