2011 Allen County Fair Goat Queen Megan Joseph of Delphos listens to a judge while putting her Border Collie, “Nell,” through her paces during the 4-H Dog ObedienceTrials Saturday at the fair.

Joseph named2011 Goat Queen

BY STACY [email protected]

LIMA — Six years ago,Megan Joseph decided to fol-low in her brother’s footstepsand show goats at the AllenCounty Fair. Now 15, Josephhas been inducted into theranks of the Junior Fair royal-ty as this year’s Goat Queen.

“I remember my brothershowing goats and I thoughtit would be really cool,” themember of Allen County Doesand Kids 4-H Club said. “I real-ly enjoy it because I’m a prettycompetitive person and this isa really competitive category.As I’ve gotten older, I’ve alsostarted helping the counselorout with more things as well,which I enjoy. Showing goatsis a great experience; it’s reallydifferent from all of the othercategories.”

When the opportunityarose to put her name in forGoat Queen, Joseph wasslightly nervous.

“My mom had alwayswanted me to try out for fairroyalty,” Joseph, daughter of

Norm and Kim Elwer, said.“There are age limits for itand when I was old enoughfor Goat Queen, I put in forit. I was a little wary at firstbecause I wasn’t sure I wouldbe able to deal with that kindof responsibility. Then I wentto the interview and I didpretty well and next thing Iknew I got a call saying I wasthis year’s Goat Queen. It’sexciting. It’s really an honorto have this.”

Joseph, who is a student atSt. John’s High School, alsoshows dogs at the fair withAllen County K-9s 4-H Club.

“I show a Border Collienamed Nell,” she said. “I’vebeen showing dogs for sevenyears; longer than goats. Ialso hope to try out for K-9Queen next year.”

Joseph credits her parentsas her inspiration and encour-agement.

“I’d just like to give thanksto my parents, for everything,”she said. “Without them, Iwouldn’t be showing animalsand I definitely wouldn’t beGoat Queen.”

Haunhorst enjoys showing BelleBY STACY TAFF

[email protected]

LIMA — When 13-year-old Caleb Haunhorst was con-fronted with the opportunityto join 4-H three years ago, he jumped at the chance becauseit sounded like something hewould enjoy.

“It just fun. I thoughtshowing animals soundedfun — and it is,” he said. “Iwas originally going to showsomething else but the waitinglist was too long so I decidedto show dogs. I show a blackLab named Belle.”

Haunhorst, who is the sonof Todd and Trisha Haunhorst,is a Jefferson Middle School

student and has a history of winning K-9 competitions.

“I won first place both myfirst and second years — gotthe ribbons to prove it,” hesaid. “This year, I don’t havea specific goal, I just hope toscore as high as I possiblycan.”

Being a member of one of the smaller 4-H groups, AllenCounty K-9s, Haunhorst hopesto see more people choose toshow dogs.

“The club is pretty small.We really need some newmembers and we’re alwayslooking for more,” he said.

Hurricane Irene slamsPuerto Rico; could hit US

SAN JUAN, PuertoRico (AP) — Puerto Ricansawoke to flooded and debris-strewn streets today follow-ing the overnight passage of Hurricane Irene, which nexttook aim at the DominicanRepublic on a path that couldtake the storm to the U.S. bythe end of the week.

The storm flooded streets,knocked down trees through-out the island, caused severalrivers to overflow their banksand left more than a millionPuerto Ricans without power.But there were no immediatereports of any deaths.

Remnants of Irene wereexpected to continue lashingthe island most of today, saidJose Alamo, a U.S. NationalWeather Service meteorolo-gist in San Juan.

“We’re still receiving rainand some wind associatedwith the system but it shouldstart to get better as the daygoes on,” Alamo said.

Forecasters earlier saidIrene was likely to pass southof Puerto Rico, but the stormshifted north and was passeddirectly over the U.S. island

The Cincinnati Enquirer

LOVELAND (AP) —This Cincinnati suburb hada novel idea on how to dealwith the extensive cuts in

state funding that are goingto land on city hall’s doorstep — and the front stepsof every city hall, villagehill and township building inOhio — very soon.

City leaders put togetherfour focus groups of about 45randomly selected citizens,gave them a two-hour courseon how local governmentfunding works, showed theman extensive list of options,and set them to the task of

trying to find enough savingsin the city budget to fill aprojected 2013 budget deficitof about $600,000.

And they couldn’t do it.The city of Loveland is a

good example of how intrac-table a problem the state of

Ohio has created for localgovernment.The focus group reached a

consensus on about $255,500worth of cuts. But the painof many of those cuts wouldhave been felt by Lovelandemployees — not the resi-dents themselves.

Gene Krebs, senior direc-tor of government affairsand policy for the GreaterOhio Policy Center, a groupfunded by private founda-

tions to promote economicgrowth in Ohio, said he is notat all surprised that the focusgroup participants generallysupported ideas that wouldnot have a direct impact onthe services they receive.

What Loveland did with

the focus groups, Krebs said,is “very commendable,” buthe said they need to take it astep further.

“They need to start look-ing at savings in the structureof government itself,” Krebssaid. “They need to bringtogether a group of Lovelandshopkeepers, retired busi-nessmen, people who haveworked in government andstart coming up with ways of saving money through con-

solidation, shared services,working with other commu-nities to save money.

“That’s where the realsavings are. That’s how youdeal with the new reality inlocal government.”

One thing that stood out,

though, in the Lovelandfocus groups was that manyof the participants — not all,but many — were willingto consider tax increases tomake up the difference.

“If you look at the con-sensus on the things peo-ple would be willing to cut,it’s not quite half of wherewe need to be,” said CityManager Tom Carroll.

He came up with the ideaof holding focus groups to seewhat residents of Loveland— a city of 12,000 that strad-dles Clermont, Warren andHamilton counties — wouldbe willing to do without.

Town turns to focus groups to cut budget

COLUMBUS (AP) —Ohio Dominican University isliterally turning up the heat onbedbugs that have greeted stu-dents moving in for the fall.

WBNS-TV reports the uni-versity planned to raise thetemperature in Lynam Hall to140 degrees today in hopes of ridding the residence hall of the pests.

Senior Kaitlin McNeishtold the television station shefound bites on her arms andlegs while her roommate was“eaten alive” by bedbugs hid-ing in the other student’s mat-tress.

University spokeswomanSharon Reed says five stu-dents were bitten. Other dor-mitories were checked forbedbugs and were found to beclear of them.

The university plans to pro-vide students with informationon how to spot bedbugs andstop them from spreading.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

By ROBERT BURNSAP National

Security Writer

WASHINGTON — TheSept. 11 attacks transformed

the Pentagon, ravaging theiconic building itself and set-ting the stage for two longand costly wars that reor-dered the way the Americanmilitary fights.

Compared with a decadeago, the military is bigger,more closely connected to theCIA, more practiced at tak-ing on terrorists and morerespected by the Americanpublic but its members alsoare growing weary from war,committing suicide at analarming rate and training lessfor conventional warfare.

The partly gutted Pentagonwas restored with remark-

able speed after the hijackedAmerican Airlines Boeing757 slammed through itswest side, setting the build-ing ablaze and killing 184people but recovering fromthe strain of fighting in Iraqand Afghanistan will take farlonger — possibly decades.

The Pentagon’s leaderswill have to adjust to a newera of austerity after a decadein which the defense budgetdoubled, to nearly $700 bil-lion this year.

The Army and MarineCorps in particular — bothstill heavily engaged inAfghanistan — will struggle

to retrain, rearm and rein-vigorate their badly stretchedforces even as budgets begin

to shrink and the troopsthemselves face an uncertainfuture; many are scarred bythe mental strains of battle,and some face transitionto civilian life at a time of

economic turmoil and highunemployment. The cost of veterans’ care will marchhigher.

As Robert Gates put itshortly before he steppeddown as defense secretarythis summer, peace will bringits own problems.

The problem was notpeace on 9/11. At the time,the military was focusedalmost entirely on externalthreats. Air defenses keptwatch for planes and missilesthat might strike from afar;there was little attention tothe possibility that terroristsmight hijack domestic airlin-

ers and use them as missiles.That changed with thecreation of U.S. NorthernCommand in 2002, whichnow shares responsibilityfor defending U.S. territorywith the Homeland SecurityDepartment.

Terrorism was not a newchallenge in 2001, but thescale of the 9/11 attacksprompted a shift in the U.S.mindset from defense tooffense.

The U.S. invadedAfghanistan on Oct. 7 in anunconventional military cam-paign that was coordinatedwith the CIA. That heralded

one of the most profoundeffects of 9/11: a shift inthe military’s emphasis from

fighting conventional army-on-army battles to executingmore secretive, intelligence-driven hunts for shadowy ter-rorists. That shift was impor-tant, but it came gradually as

the military services clung totheir Cold War ways.

Still in debate is how theTaliban, which had shieldedOsama bin Laden and otheral-Qaida figures prior to theU.S. invasion and was drivenfrom Kabul within weeks,managed to make a come-back in the years after theU.S. shifted its main focusto Iraq in 2003. That setbackin Afghanistan, coupled withthe longer-than-expectedfight in Iraq, showed the lim-its of post-9/11 U.S. militarypower.

It also pointed up one of the other key lessons of thepast decade of war: It takesmore than military muscleto win the peace. It takesthe State Department, with itssmall army of diplomats anddevelopment specialists, andother government agenciesworking in partnership withthe Pentagon.

The military grew larg-er over the past decade, butthe growth was uneven. TheArmy expanded from about480,000 in 2001 to 572,000this year, and the MarineCorps grew from 172,000 to200,000, although both areto begin scaling back shortly.The Air Force and Navy, bycontrast, got smaller. The Air

Force lost about 20,000 slotssince 2001 and the Navy lostabout 50,000.

Pentagon adapts to new fight

By STEPHENOHLEMACHERAssociated Press

WASHINGTON — Laid-off workers and aging babyboomers are flooding SocialSecurity’s disability programwith benefit claims, push-ing the financially strappedsystem toward the brink of insolvency.

Applications are up near-ly 50 percent over a decadeago as people with disabili-ties lose their jobs and can’tfind new ones in an economythat has shed nearly 7 million jobs.

The stampede for benefitsis adding to a growing back-log of applicants — manywait two years or more beforetheir cases are resolved —and worsening the financialproblems of a program that’sbeen running in the red foryears.

New congressional esti-mates say the trust fund thatsupports Social Security dis-ability will run out of moneyby 2017, leaving the program

unable to pay full benefits,unless Congress acts. Abouttwo decades later, SocialSecurity’s much larger retire-ment fund is projected to rundry as well.

Much of the focus inWashington has been on fix-ing Social Security’s retire-ment system. Proposals rangefrom raising the retirementage to means-testing benefitsfor wealthy retirees. But thedisability system is in much

worse shape and its problemsdefy easy solutions.

The trustees who overseeSocial Security are urgingCongress to shore up the dis-ability system by reallocatingmoney from the retirementprogram, just as lawmakersdid in 1994. That would pro-vide only short-term relief atthe expense of weakening theretirement program.

Claims for disability ben-efits typically increase in abad economy because manydisabled people get laid off and can’t find a new job.This year, about 3.3 millionpeople are expected to applyfor federal disability benefits.That’s 700,000 more than in2008 and 1 million more thana decade ago.

“It’s primarily economicdesperation,” Social SecurityCommissioner MichaelAstrue said in an interview.“People on the margins whoget bad news in terms of a layoff and have no otherplace to go and they take ashot at disability,”

The disability program is

also being hit by an agingpopulation — disability ratesrise as people get older — aswell as a system that encour-ages people to apply for moregenerous disability benefitsrather than waiting until theyqualify for retirement.

Retirees can get full SocialSecurity benefits at age 66,a threshold gradually ris-ing to 67. Early retirees canget reduced benefits at 62.However, if you qualify for

disability, you can get fullbenefits, based on your workhistory, even before 62.

Also, people who qualifyfor Social Security disabilityautomatically get Medicareafter two years, even if theyare younger than 65, the agewhen other retirees qualifyfor the government-run healthinsurance program.

Congress tried to rein inthe disability program inthe late 1970s by making ittougher to qualify. The num-ber of people receiving ben-efits declined for a few years,even during a recession inthe early 1980s. Congress,however, reversed course andloosened the criteria, and therolls were growing again by1984.

The disability program“got into trouble first becauseof liberalization of eligibil-ity standards in the 1980s,”said Charles Blahous, one of the public trustees who over-see Social Security. “Then itgot another shove into big-ger trouble during the recentrecession.”

Today, about 13.6 millionpeople receive disability ben-efits through Social Securityor Supplemental SecurityIncome. Social Security isfor people with substantialwork histories, and monthlydisability payments average$927. Supplemental SecurityIncome does not require awork history but it has strictlimits on income and assets.Monthly SSI payments aver-age $500.

WASHINGTON —News flash: CongressionalRepublicans want to raiseyour taxes.

Impossible, right? GOPlawmakers are so virulent-ly anti-tax, surely they willfight to prevent a payroll taxincrease on virtually everywage-earner starting Jan. 1,right?

Apparently not.Many of the same

Republicans who foughthammer-and-tong to keep theGeorge W. Bush-era incometax cuts from expiring onschedule are now saying a

different “temporary” taxcut should end as planned.By their own definition, thatamounts to a tax increase.

The tax break extensionthey oppose is sought byPresident Barack Obama.Unlike proposed changes inthe income tax, this policyhelps the 46 percent of allAmericans who owe no fed-eral income taxes but whopay a “payroll tax” on practi-cally every dime they earn.

There are other differenc-es as well, and Republicanssay their stand is consistent

with their goal of long-termtax policies that will spuremployment and lend greatercertainty to the economy.

“It’s always a net positiveto let taxpayers keep more of what they earn,” says Rep.Jeb Hensarling, “but not alltax relief is created equal forthe purposes of helping to getthe economy moving again.”The Texas lawmaker is on theHouse GOP leadership team.

The debate is likely to boilup in coming weeks as aspecial bipartisan committeeseeks big deficit reductionsand weighs which tax cuts aresacrosanct.

At issue is a tax that thevast majority of workers pay,but many don’t recognizebecause they don’t read, ordon’t understand their paystubs. Workers normally pay6.2 percent of their wagestoward a tax designatedfor Social Security. Theiremployer pays an equalamount, for a total of 12.4percent per worker.

As part of a bipartisanspending deal last December,

Congress approved Obama’srequest to reduce the work-ers’ share to 4.2 percent for

one year; employers’ rate didnot change. Obama wantsCongress to extend the reduc-tion for an additional year. If not, the rate will return to 6.2percent on Jan. 1.

Obama cited the payrolltax in his weekend radio andInternet address Saturday,when he urged Congress towork together on measuresthat help the economy andcreate jobs. “There are thingswe can do right now thatwill mean more customersfor businesses and more jobsacross the country. We cancut payroll taxes again, sofamilies have an extra $1,000

to spend,” he said.Social Security pay-

roll taxes apply only to thefirst $106,800 of a worker’swages. Therefore, $2,136 isthe biggest benefit anyonecan gain from the one-yearreduction.

The great majority of Americans make less than$106,800 a year. Millions of workers pay more in payrolltaxes than in federal incometaxes.

GOP may OK tax increase that Obama hopes to block

WASHINGTON (AP)— Texas would be amongthe biggest beneficiaries of President Barack Obama’shealth care overhaul, standingto gain coverage for nearly 4million uninsured residents.

But Gov. Rick Perryblocked moves to lay thegroundwork for that expan-sion of coverage, and amongthe alternatives he’s supportedis an untested regional solutionthat could prove as controver-sial as Obama’s remake.

With Perry running for theRepublican presidential nomi-nation, health care in Texasand his own ideas as governorwill get fly-speck scrutiny onthe national stage. His stateis a study in contrasts, boast-ing world-renowned facilitieslike the MD Anderson CancerCenter in Houston, along withthe highest proportion of unin-sured residents of any state —26 percent.

As a national candidatePerry has made total repealof “Obamacare” central to hisfledgling campaign. But it’sunclear what he would put inits place. And if the SupremeCourt ultimately upholds allor parts of the law, Perry hassignaled that he would helpcarry out key provisions toavoid defaulting to the federalbureaucracy.

Texas has received variousgrants under Obama’s law forplanning, insurance regulationand consumer education. Thestate employee benefits sys-tem says it expects to draw$60 million in federal subsi-dies this year to help cover itsearly retirees, cashing in on aprovision of the law.

But when Republicanstate Rep. John Zerwas triedto move legislation to set upan insurance purchasing poolrequired by the national over-

haul, he ran into a veto threatfrom Perry.

The purchasing pools —called exchanges — are one of the key features of Obama’slaw. Run by the states, theywould let consumers buy cov-erage from a choice of pri-vate plans. Most individualsand families in the exchangeswould be eligible for federaltax credits to lower their pre-miums.

Exchanges are supposed toopen in 2014. If a state doesn’tact in advance, the law autho-rizes the federal governmentto set up and run its exchange.And since the Texas legisla-

ture meets only every otheryear, this past session wasseen as perhaps the state’sonly opportunity.

But Zerwas said Perrytold him he was concernedthat moving ahead with theexchange legislation wouldundermine a multistate law-suit against the federal over-haul that Texas is part of,not to mention creating otherpolitical problems. The law-suit challenges the constitu-tionality of the law’s require-ment that Americans obtainhealth insurance — the so-called individual mandate

— an issue on which lowercourts have split.

“Unfortunately, wheth-

er we like it or not, health

insurance exchanges have

become synonymous with

Obamacare,” said Zerwas.An anesthesiologist from theHouston suburbs, Zerwas saidhe believes it’s worth tak-ing the flak to guarantee thatTexas will retain control of itsinsurance market. The gover-nor disagreed.

A pair of Lincolnview boys soccer players surround a Lima Senior player during

Saturday’s first-ever Lancer boys varsity match at Lima Stadium. The Lancers werevictorious 3-1. The Lancer girls had beaten the Lady Spartans 4-2 earlier in the day intheir first-ever varsity match.

By NOAH TRISTERThe Associated Press

BROOKLYN, Mich. —Kyle Busch held off JimmieJohnson — for the time being,at least.

Busch outlasted Johnsonto win Sunday’s NASCARSprint Cup race at MichiganInternational Speedway, pull-ing away after a late cautionfor his fourth victory of theseason.

The win gave Busch a10-point lead over Johnson atthe top of the points standings

but there are still three moreraces before the Chase for theSprint Cup starts.

Johnson is the 5-timedefending champion onNASCAR’s top circuit; Buschis merely the latest driver whoseems poised to challengehim.

“Certainly it’s going to bea run down to the end,” Buschsaid. “The points are tight.With any bad day it seems tohurt you so much, you reallyhave to concentrate on bat-tling back, getting yourself back up in the points.”

Denny Hamlin and KevinHarvick pushed Johnson tothe limit last year but fell short

in the end. Now Busch hashis sights on the champion-ship; although there’s plentyof racing still to come, he acedSunday’s test in what becamea head-to-head dash to the fin-ish with the man everyone istrying to wrest the title from.

Busch passed Johnson withabout a dozen laps remain-ing and was opening up acomfortable margin when hisbrother Kurt Busch scraped awall, forcing a caution fromlaps 198-201. The yellow flagerased much of Kyle Busch’slead but he was able to fightoff a quick move from Johnsonafter the restart, then held onto win during the green-white-

checkered finish.“I said this about him awhile ago: once he figuredout how to win races, he’dwin a lot,” Johnson said. “Hecertainly has done that. Hisbig test is for a championship.Once he understands that andfigures that out, I think he’llwin a lot of those too.”

It was Busch’s first Cupwin at Michigan.

Brad Keselowski finishedthird, his third consecutivetop-3 finish and fifth top-10in his past six races. MarkMartin was fourth.

Keselowski has beenimpressive recently despitebreaking his left ankle earlierthis month during a test ses-sion. He’s now 12th in thestandings; with two victories,he looks likely to make theChase as a wild card.

The top 10 drivers and thetwo drivers ranked 11th to20th with the most victoriesearn spots for the Chase.

“I would like to make thetop 10 on our own merits,if for no other reason thanto push away all the naysay-ers of the wild-card system,”Keselowski said. “It’s goingto be good either way. I’m abig fan of the wild card. It’sgoing to be something that’sgoing to reward me. I thinkit’s a great way of showinga commitment to our fans torewarding those who can winraces.”

Hamlin, Kyle Busch’steammate with Joe GibbsRacing, would be the otherwild card if the regular seasonended now but did little tohelp himself Sunday with a35th-place showing.

Hamlin, who had to stop inat the garage about two-thirdsof the way through the race,is 14th in the standings withone win — at Michigan backin June.

Pole-sitter Greg Biffle ledfor 86 of the first 100 lapsSunday but it didn’t last. KyleBusch passed him around themidway point of the planned200-lap, 400-mile race. Jeff Gordon took the lead notlong after that and Johnsonappeared to be in great shapewhen he made a pit stop justbefore a caution that startedon lap 169.

Johnson was able to stayout on the track while othercars made pit stops under theyellow flag and led on therestart.

But Kyle Busch was lurk-ing back in third place in hisNo. 18 Toyota and eventually

passed Johnson.“Wish I could have hung

on,” Johnson said. “I got awayfrom Kyle but as I was pull-ing away, I was sliding thecar pretty bad. ... Eventually,he got to me. With that lastrestart, I had a shot onceagain, got a good restart nextto him, but couldn’t make ithappen.”

Busch has three straighttop-3 showings. He was sec-ond to Keselowski at Poconoand third at Watkins Glen.

Busch won his 23rd careerSprint Cup race, pulling evenwith Kurt Busch in that cat-egory. Now, 26-year-old Kylewould like to match another

of his brother’s accomplish-ments by winning a seriestitle, as Kurt did in 2004.

“He’s always still got thatcarrot over me,” Kyle Buschadded. “Certainly, being theyounger brother, I’ve had alittle bit shorter time being

here, but still, it’s great to seeboth of us be as competitive aswe’ve been and as successfulas we’ve been.”

Brown races to 4th TopFuel win at NHRA

BRAINERD, Minn. —Antron Brown raced to hisfourth win of the season inTop Fuel on Sunday at theLucas Oil NHRA Nationalsat Brainerd InternationalRaceway.

Johnny Gray (Funny Car),Greg Anderson (Pro Stock)and LE Tonglet (Pro StockMotorcycle) were also win-

ners at the 15th of 22 events inthe NHRA Full Throttle DragRacing Series.

Brown powered his drag-ster past his Don SchumacherRacing teammate TonySchumacher in the final roundto collect the win. His finalround run of 3.844 secondsat a top speed of 319.22 mphproved strong enough tosecure his 29th career victory.

It also moved him up tothe second spot in the pointstandings with just one raceremaining until the start of the 6-race playoffs to deter-mine the champions in eachcategory.

While Brown moved

up in the point standings,Top Fuel pilot BrandonBernstein clinched his berthin the Countdown to theChampionship with his sec-ond round finish on Sunday.Only the final three spots inthe Top 10 point standings inTop Fuel remain open.

Former Pro Stock driverGray raced to his first FunnyCar win. Gray’s run of 4.113seconds at a top speed of 307.02 in his Dodge Chargerwas strong enough to getpast Don Schumacher Racingteammate Ron Capps.

Gray moved to with-in 62 points of 10th-placedriver Bob Tasca with justone race left before the cut-off for the Countdown to theChampionship.

Anderson followed up hisrunner-up finish in Seattlewith a win against EricaEnders. Anderson drove hisPontiac GXP to a 6.599 at209.26 to get his fourth winof the season and 69th of hiscareer. The win also movedAnderson to the top of the ProStock point standings.

Kyle Busch outlasts

Johnson in Michigan

Saturday a great dayfor Lincolnview soccer

By Jim CoxTimes BulletinCorrespondent

[email protected] — No one could tell

that Saturday was the first-ever varsity soccer matchesfor the Lincolnview boys andgirls teams at Lima Stadium.

The Lancer boys sty-

mied Lima Senior 3-1 inthe afternoon. Although thevisitors outshot the Spartans25 (11 on-goal) to five (3),Lincolnview didn’t lead untilhalfway through the sec-ond half when senior KevinMarkward drilled a longsharply angled shot from theright side -- 2-1, Lancers,with 21:01 showing.

Sophomore ConnerMcCleery clinched it with apenalty kick with 6:00 left.

Lima Senior seldom gotthe ball into the Lincolnviewend in the first half but thefirst time was a charm; fresh-man Alex Ehora put on a

dazzling ballhandling displayand knocked home a shotfrom just outside the left cor-ner of the penalty area at the19:26 mark. That proved tobe the last Spartan highlightin the match.

Lincolnview tied it with11:13 remaining in the first40 minutes. Junior EvanWilliams cashed in a niceassist by sophomore DougHicks to knot things up.

“I was worried that firsthalf,” said Lancer coach MarkMcCleery. “We took a lot of shots and controlled the balla long time but I was wor-ried the kids would get down

because we hadn’t scored agoal yet.”

He split goalkeepingduties between junior MarkEvans (1st half and late 2ndhalf -- 2 saves) and ConnerMcCleery (no saves). TheLancer defense, however,made their job much easier.

“I was happy with theteam as a whole,” said CoachMcCleery. “I don’t stick any-body in defense because theywant a chance to score, too, sohalf the game two of my guysare playing defense and half the game they’re on offenseand we do that on both ends.Today, they got a break on

defense because our midfield-ers were so strong at keepingthe ball down there.”

Three Lincolnview play-ers missed the game becauseof family events, a situationwhich tested the stamina of some of the Lancers.

“I was really worriedwith the heat,” added CoachMcCleery. “Some of my mainplayers played the full 80

minutes without a break anddid a good job, kept hustlingthe whole time, especiallythe four seniors (Markward,Clayton Longstreth, JosephShoppell, Mike Klausing).”

They host Fort WayneFusion 5 p.m. Tuesday.

In the girls match, theLancers dominated LimaSenior 4-2.

The Lancers rode threefirst-half goals by KayleeThatcher to a 4-2 halftimelead -- then dominated thescoreless second half.

Thatcher, a juniorforward, poked in arebound to start the

scoring with 35:14left in the first half.She followed up

with an unassistedgoal from just out-side the right cornerof the penalty areaat the 17:02 mark.

The Spartans’ super-fastfreshman, Hannah Rinehart,outran the Lancer defenseand blasted one in at 14:33 tocut the margin to 2-1.

Lima Senior tied it at 2-2on a penalty kick by juniorAmity Calhoun with 10:53left in the half.

Thatcher, however, putthe visitors up for good at

10:17 by eluding the Spartandefenders and punchingthe ball past keeper AubrieNuckles. Lincolnviewfreshman forward HannahMcCleery curled a long oneinto the upper right cornerof the net at the 3:00 mark tomake it 4-2.

The ball remained in theLancer offensive end of thefield for much of the secondhalf.

For the match, the Lancersfired 26 shots (17 on-goal.Lima got off only eight shots(3 on-goal).

Lincolnview coach KatrinaSmith split the goalkeepingduties by halves: sophomore

Jordan Ludwig (no saves)handled the first half andfreshman Julia Thatcher (1save) the second.

“For the first game, I’mpleased -- very pleased,” saidSmith. “We have three substhis year, which is more thanwe’ve had in the past, but,really, the whole team canplay the game. I was reallypleased (with the defense) --

our girls do a lot of talkingand rotating, so they cov-ered Rinehart really well. Iwas nervous when I saw howfast she was. On offense,Kaylee did really well. Haley(McAbee) had a good dayand Hannah was great today,especially for a freshman.”

The Delphos Herald

LIMA — The next tothe final night of the 2011racing season at LimalandMotorsports Park serves to set

the table for the follow week’schampionships but also canproduce important stories onits own.

A bounce-back effort fromTodd Sherman in the K &N UMP Modifieds, first-timeseason win for Jeff Koz in theBudweiser Thunderstocks anda once-a-year visit for the Tuff Trucks made Mike Hicks agrateful winner.

It sets up razor-thin marginsamong the leaders in two of thethree divisions that will crownchampions next weekend.

The 20-lap modified featurebecame an early showcase forUNOH Racer Kody Weisner.The undergraduate from

Michigan took full advantageof his outside front-row start-ing position. Weisner, knownfor racing the high side of thetrack, took to the top shortlyafter the green flag came out.Behind him was a thrilling duelbetween Todd Sherman andOntario’s Justin Coulter for thesecond position.

A restart on lap 11 sawSherman stick the nose of his machine on Weisner’stail and manage to produce aclear pass on the bottom of thetrack through lap 13. UnlikeSherman, Weisner didn’t reallythreaten the lead but held onfor the runner-up finish, withSherman posting his 4th fea-ture win of the season.

“The college guy (KodyWeisner) is doing a great job,”said Sherman. “He got to theoutside and was good, althougha little bit loose.”

It was another impressivemoment for Racer Motorsportsfrom UNOH.

“I have a couple of UNOHguys with my team, one a grad-uate, the other still in school,”noted Sherman, then lookingahead, “It’s going to be a greatchampionship battle (8/26).Racing with this division isa lot of fun. We’ll be goingover this car with a fine-toothcomb this week and give it

100 percent next week for thechampionships.”

Lima’s Koz fulfilled oneof his season goals by win-ning the 15-lap BudweiserThunderstocks feature and

qualifying for the King of theQuarter Mile race.“I’ve had a rough year, so

I’m happy to get this win,” saidKoz, an outside row-2 starter.

For the second consecutiveweek, Kevin Gossard took theearly race lead and then suf-fered a mechanical break thatended his evening. With Kozrunning second through thefirst four circuits, Gossard’smisfortune gave Koz the leadand he never surrendered it.

“The track is good tonightand made for a good race,”said the newest LimalandMotorsports Park feature win-ner. “I felt if I stayed up topand got our momentum that

we’d be alright. I made King of the Quarter Mile last year andI’m happy to get in again.”

The visiting Tuff Trucksshowed good grip on the high-banked 1/4-mile track and pro-duced four different leadersduring an exiting 12-lap fea-ture. The opening trip aroundsaw a 3-wide battle at the start-finish as the 17-truck fieldwas fully engaged. Pole-sitterMatt Twining, fellow front-row starter Chris Hicks, JerryButler and eventual race win-ner Mike Hicks were the col-lective front-runners.

Butler lost his lead afterspinning out on lap 4. Later,Chris Hicks gave up the point

to Mike Hicks on lap number9. Hicks strolled for the finalthree circuits and easily heldoff Gabe Twining and ChrisHicks.

“You couldn’t ask for bet-ter track conditions than arehere tonight at Limaland,”exclaimed Hicks. “I’m hon-ored to be here in front of allthese fans.”

The 14th Annual LimalandSeason Point Championshipsand the Engine Pro NRA SprintInvaders will conclude the2011 racing season on Friday.The evening is stacked withshowdowns as the Elwer FenceSprints, K & N UMP Modifieds,

Budweiser Thunderstocks andNRA Sprints are all crowningchampions.

The night also includesthe much-anticipated King of the Quarter Mile races. These10-lap battles include all fea-

ture winners during the sea-son matching up for winner-take-all: $3,000 in the sprints,$2,000 in the Modifieds and$1,000 for stock cars.

Tomorrow’s

HoroscopeBy Bernice Bede Osol

Family confusedwedding withfuneral, said goodbye

Dear Annie: Sevenmonths ago, I married “Jake.”Since that day, his family hasrefused to communicate withus. They claim my brides-maids were “out to get them”and told Jake that I “talktoo much about my travels.”Why would they lie aboutsuch things? We’ve attempt-ed to work it out, but theyrefuse our calls. We’ve givenup and are waiting for themto contact us.

We recentlyfound out thatJake’s sister hada baby girl. I amthrilled to be anaunt, but theywon’t let me seethe baby. Lastweek, we receivedan e-mail fromJake’s brother,accusing my hus-band of “tradingfamilies.” Sincewhen does spending timewith your in-laws count astrading families?

My family loves my hus-band, and since we live inthe same town, we see oneanother frequently. My in-laws live three hours away.We used to see them once amonth. His brother said theyare no longer brothers andwished him good luck on therest of his life. We respondedthat we’re more than willingto work things out, but it’simpossible if no one is truth-

ful and no one talks to us.I’ve never seen adults act

this way. I want our futurechildren to know their father’sfamily, but I don’t want themsubjected to such strange,negative people. I’d rathershow them photographs andlet them hear good stories.

The last time we spoketo them was seven monthsago. Are we right to wait itout? Should we try talkingto them again, or just write itoff as a horrible loss? -- LostNewlyweds

Dear Newlyweds: Wedon’t know what soured thisrelationship at the wedding,

but there is little hope forreconciliation if the in-lawswon’t speak to you. Jakeshould try contacting his par-ents and siblings individuallyand ask if they would be will-ing to join the two of you forfamily counseling to workthis out. If they refuse, sorryto say, there’s not much elseyou can do.

Dear Annie: I am a15-year-old boy, and mymother is very protective. Forabout three years, I’ve craveda longer leash and have askedMom to give me more inde-pendence. Her only reply is,“The world is too dangerous

for my little bird.”My mother says she wants

to spend more time with me,give me more hugs and spoilme. I’m trying to break away,not be smothered. All I’masking is to take bike ridesand walks by myself. What

can I do to convince her tolet go a little? -- CravingIndependence

Dear Craving: Someoverprotective parents thinkthey are shielding their chil-dren from the cruel world,but in reality, they are simplypreventing them from learn-ing how to cope with life.She can still give you plentyof hugs, but responsible self-reliance should be encour-

aged.Show your Mom

this letter, and tellher you wrote it.We hope she canloosen the apronstrings a little. Andif that doesn’t help,please discuss thesituation with yourguidance coun-selor when schoolresumes.

Dear Annie:“Wondering About

the Brew in Massachusetts”asked if non- alcoholic beercould be harmful to recover-ing alcoholics. I disagree withyour response that it couldbe for some. The amount of alcohol is miniscule.

My husband was finallyable to quit drinking, andnon-alcoholic beer has beenhis key to success. It makeshim feel less deprived andhelps to satisfy him, andhe knows he must alwaysbe vigilant. Our family isgrateful every day that we

have our husband and fatherback. We had forgotten whata nice person he is. Beingaround a mean, nasty personfor 45 years was not easy.-- Mr. Nice Guy’s Wife inCalifornia

Dear Wife: We will reit-erate our original response:The smell (not the taste)of non-alcoholic beer cantrigger a relapse in somealcoholics. We’re glad thatwasn’t the case for your hus-band, but each reaction isindividual, and one needs tobe careful.

Take a virtual tour of NewYork on Google Maps andsome blurry images appear.

As you zoom down in sat-ellite view, what looks likethe crisp outline of the airportterminal near upstate Buffalodissolves into a fuzzy white

blob. Instead of cars, blotchesof color sit in the main park-ing lot.

Swing southeast 140 milesto the prison in Elmira, nearthe Pennsylvania border, orthe atomic research lab inSchenectady, about 180 milesnortheast from there — andthe images hide behind thesame type of blur.

The alterations are notthe work of a hacker. In thepost-9/11 world, they’re theproduct of New York state’shomeland security apparatus,done in the hope of prevent-ing terrorists from attacking.

As a staggered nation

scrambled after Sept. 11,2001, to anticipate possiblenext targets, there was a wide-spread sanitizing of publiclyavailable information sud-denly viewed as tipsheets androad maps for terrorists.

But what also resulted, asshown by an Associated Pressreview for the 10th anniver-sary of the 9/11 attacks, weresome befuddling inconsisten-cies — telling private pilotsnot to fly over nuclear reac-tors, for example, and thennot allowing them access to

plant locations.It was all based on a fear

that seemingly innocuousfragments of informationcould be paired to hatch anattack. If authorities couldn’tbe sure what informationmight help, they concludedit was best to keep as muchsecret as possible. Or if totalsecrecy couldn’t be justified,

at least make the informationmuch harder to obtain.

Security-sensitive infor-mation wasn’t just the coordi-nates of the nation’s nuclearpower plants, or the loca-tions of massive inventoriesof dangerous chemicals, ordetailed maps of potentiallyexplosive natural gas pipe-lines. Withheld from publicview were things that aver-age citizens might need toknow: emergency responseplans for public buildings inIdaho, building blueprints inDelaware, and drinking watertest results in Texas.

The efforts sometimes havetried to defy the Internet-age

reality that once something ispublic, it’s nearly impossibleto make it private again.

Critics who believe gov-ernment swung too far towardsecrecy, particularly in theyears immediately after 9/11,do not believe all informationshould be available. Rather,they argue that in too manycases decisions were made tohide information that was, infact, important for the publicto know.

“We do not have a king or a

ruling class that decides whatour security policies shouldbe,” said Steven Aftergood,who directs the Project onGovernment Secrecy at theFederation of AmericanScientists. “Secrecy short-circuits the whole democraticdeliberative system and it’sfundamentally at odds withthe kind of society we are all

committed to.”Others argue that the gov-

ernment has performed withadmirable openness duringthe war on terror, especiallycompared to other times of war, when outright censor-ship was routine.

“What strikes me aboutthe period after 9/11 is I thinkwe’ve had an amazing flour-ishing of information andspeech,” said John Yoo, a lawprofessor at the University of California, Berkeley, who asa Department of Justice attor-ney helped develop the Bushadministration’s program of aggressive interrogation tech-niques. Yoo also conceded,

“You’re going to see individ-ual programs where bureau-crats muck things up andmake sometimes silly deci-sions. It’s inherent in bureau-cracy.”

Online maps offer an inter-esting case study becausewhile millions of people usethem every day to get frompoint A to point B, they alsocan be used by terrorists andother criminals.

Evidence introduced at aNew York terror trial showedthat the defendants referenced

Google’s mapping softwareduring a foiled 2007 plot toblow up jet fuel tanks at JohnF. Kennedy InternationalAirport. In an unrelated case,one member of a group thatused small planes to fly drugsfrom Canada to the north-ern U.S. said he used GoogleMaps to scout hundreds of small airports for fences and

cameras.Less clear is the rationale

behind other decisions tohoard information that oncewas public — or informationthat is public in one form butnot others.

Some examples:— After 9/11, one con-

cern was the nation’s networkof underground pipelines,which if broken can fuel rag-ing propane or natural gasfires. Though some utilitieskept their own maps publicfor a while, access to theNational Pipeline MappingSystem was almost immedi-ately restricted, and remains

so today.In several post-9/11 acci-

dents, first responders did notknow about the existence orlocation of pipelines. In thecase of a 2007 explosion inMississippi that killed twoand injured seven, federalsafety investigators conclud-ed that if local authoritieshad known the problem wasa busted propane line, theywould have evacuated thearea so residents couldn’t dosomething to ignite the gath-ering gas cloud.

Still uneven post-9/11 data-cloakingNEW YORK (AP) — The

sexual assault charges thatcost Dominique Strauss-Kahn his job as head of theInternational Monetary Fundlikely will be dropped byprosecutors, a person familiarwith the case has said.

The likely developmentswould bring a formal end tothe case at Strauss-Kahn’s

next court date on Tuesday,when prosecutors may ask a judge to dismiss the chargesand might elaborate on theirreasoning.

The Manhattan DistrictAttorney’s office prob-ably will tell Strauss-Kahn’saccuser today that it won’tpursue the case, both becauseprosecutors don’t have evi-dence proving a forced sex-ual encounter and becauseshe has a history of lies andinconsistencies that make itimpossible to ask a jury tobelieve her, the person said.The person spoke on condi-tion of anonymity to discuss

matters not yet made public.The case upended Frenchpolitics before it was rivenby questions about his accus-er’s credibility. It capturedinternational attention as aseeming cauldron of sex,violence, power and politics:A promising French presi-dential contender, known inhis homeland as “the GreatSeducer,” accused of a brutaland contemptuous attack onan African immigrant whocame to clean his plush hotel

suite. The stakes were highfor both Strauss-Kahn — whoresigned his IMF post, spentnearly a week behind barsand then spent possibly hun-dreds of thousands of dollarson house arrest — and for DACyrus R. Vance Jr., who washandling the biggest case hehas had during his 18 monthsin office.

One of Strauss-Kahn’slawyers, Benjamin Brafman,didn’t immediately respondto an email message Sunday,after the New York Post firstreported prosecutors’ likelydecision to drop the case. TheDA’s office declined to com-ment.

The hotel maid’s lawyerhad predicted prosecutorswould tell her today theywere dropping the case. Theattorney, Kenneth Thompson,told France’s RTL radio onSunday that the woman,Nafissatou Diallo, “feelsabandoned by the ManhattanDistrict Attorney.” The ques-

tions raised about her cred-ibility have made her feel“that she’s being investigatedmore than Strauss-Kahn,” hesaid.

Then considered a promis-ing Socialist candidate for theFrench presidency, Strauss-Kahn, 62, was arrested inMay. Diallo, 32, said the dip-lomat chased her down andforced her to perform oralsex when she arrived to cleanhis plush suite at the Sofitelhotel.

Strauss-Kahn case may be dropped

US Diplomat: Gadhafi’swhereabouts not yet known

VINEYARD HAVEN,Mass. (AP) — PresidentBarack Obama says MoammarGadhafi must recognize histime is over in Libya, anda leading State Departmentdiplomat says it’s “only amatter of time” before thebesieged ruler is history.

At the same time, AssistantSecretary of State JeffreyFeltman acknowledged in aninterview from Cairo this morn-ing that U.S. officials do notknow Gadhafi’s whereabouts.

Amid celebrations amongrebels and sympathizers onthe streets of the capital cityof Tripoli, Feltman said hethought it was “very clearthat the rebels are winning.”

“The rebels are takingover the city.They are clearlytaking over the institutions,”Feltman said in an interviewon ABC’s “Good MorningAmerica.” He also said U.S.officials have been told therebels have seized control of state television.

Asked whether he believesthe al Qaida terrorist networkwill gain new footing duringa power vacuum in Libya,Feltman said the first step inany post-Gadhafi setting is to“prevent some kind of cyclewhere people act out theirown retributions,” as hap-pened when Saddam Husseinfell in Iraq.

“A lot of that sectarianmix that existed in SaddamHussein’s Iraq doesn’t exisithere in Libya,” Feltman said.He also said that “the over-whelming vision that we arehearing” from people acrossLibya is that “they want aLibya that is moderate, thatis secular.”

In Washington today,Pentagon spokesman BryanWhitman said officials werecarefully assessing develop-ments.

“Clearly, there’s a fluid sit-uation,” Whitman said. “Weare monitoring the situationclosely.” The Pentagon

has provided well over 60 per-cent to 70 percent of the intel-ligence flights in support of NATO operations involvingLibya. The U.S. led airstrikesbefore turning the missionover to NATO forces.

A vacationing Obama saidin a statement from Martha’sVineyard, Mass., Sundaynight that Gadhafi shouldrelinquish power to stop theviolence and bloodshed of six months of civil war aimedat toppling his autocraticregime.

“The future of Libyais now in the hands of theLibyan people,” Obama said.The U.S. has said that itwould work closely with therebels.

After a day of dramaticdevelopments, Obama saidthe situation in Libya hadreached a “tipping point” andcontrol of the capital was“slipping from the grasp of a tyrant.”

Clashes were reported

early today near Gadhafi’scompound in Tripoli whentanks rolled out and openedfire on rebels trying to stormthe complex.

Libyan rebels who racedinto Tripoli on Sunday metlittle resistance as Gadhafi’sdefenders melted away andhis 42-year authoritarian rulequickly crumbled. Euphoricfighters celebrated with resi-dents of the capital in GreenSquare, the symbolic heart of the fading regime. Gadhafi’swhereabouts were unknown,though state TV broadcasthis bitter pleas for Libyans todefend his regime.

Opposition fighters cap-tured his son and one-timeheir apparent, Seif al-Islam,who along with his fatherfaces charges of crimesagainst humanity at theInternational Criminal Courtin the Netherlands. Anotherson was in contact with reb-els about surrendering, theopposition said.

US, European stocks rise in hope of Fed moveBRUSSELS (AP) —

Stocks in Europe and the U.S.rallied today as investors settheir hopes on the FederalReserve to take action torevitalize the U.S. economyafter a bout of panic sellinglast week.

However, gold prices hita new high of more than$1,890 an ounce earlier in the

day, indicating that fears of adouble-dip recession are stillstalking markets.

Brent crude, meanwhile,fell to near $107 a barrelas Libyan rebels’ captureof most of Tripoli boosted

hopes the OPEC nation’s oilexports could resume soon.

Britain’s FTSE 100 jumped 2.6 percent to 5,171,while Germany’s DAX rose1.9 percent to 5,585. France’sCAC 40 gained 3.1 percentto 3,111.

After a steep sell-off onFriday, Wall Street alsoopened higher, with the Dow

Jones Industrial Average up1.5 percent at 10,983 and thebroader S&P 500 1.7 percenthigher at 1,142.

Analysts warned that mar-kets would likely stay volatilein the coming weeks as wor-

ries remain about the U.S.and global economies as wellas bank funding amid theeurozone debt troubles.

The improved mood inEurope and the U.S. fol-lowed a jittery day of tradingin Asia, where most marketsclosed in the red.

Throughout the week,investors will be looking with

anticipation to a speech Fridayby U.S. Federal ReserveChairman Ben Bernanke at aretreat in Wyoming.

The Fed pledged earlierthis month to keep inter-est rates super-low through

mid-2013. Investors won-der whether Bernanke willannounce, or at least preview,further steps to help the econ-omy, including a third roundof bond purchases known asquantitative easing.

“Given the absence of deflation risk, we do notexpect him to announceQE3,” analysts at UniCredit

in Milan wrote in a note,referring to a new roundof bond buying. “But heis likely to reiterate thatthe Fed is prepared to easemonetary policy further if needed.”

Jerry Lewis:Saving livesthrough MDAwas honor

LAS VEGAS (AP) —Jerry Lewis said Saturdaythat his years of service tothe Muscular Dystrophy

Association helped make hima star, but he didn’t providedetails on his recent departureas the group’s national chair-man.

In his first public appear-ance since the breakup, Lewisaccepted a lifetime achieve-ment award from the NevadaBroadcasters Association,saying that he made his repu-tation in show business bysaving lives.

“I made my reputation inthis business caring for what Idid,” said Lewis, who donneda red foam clown nose atone point during his speech infront of politicians and otherentertainers. “For someone

who has an ego like I have,humility doesn’t come thateasy.”

Lewis hinted during hisbrief speech that he could notexplain why he is no longerthe national chairman of theMDA after 45 years. He willalso no longer host the group’sannual Labor Day weekendtelethon.

Lewis said he was hum-bled to hear several congress-men and Nevada Gov. BrianSandoval describe watchingLewis host the MDA’s annualLabor Day weekend telethonevery year throughout theirchildhoods.

“It was as meaningful

tonight as ever,” the 85-year-old said of the recognition.“And I don’t think I can gointo the why of that.”
