Vertebral
Arteries
Neck Bones
Headaches? Migraines?
Deep in your neck a pair of blood ves-
sels (vertebral arteries) pass through
the openings in your neck bones. These
vessels supply 30% of your brains blood
supply. Any twisting or misalignment of
your neck bones will kink those arteries
and slow the blood flow to your brain,
(the start of a migraine). Dr. Reed, D.C.
can gently re-align your spine without
popping or twisting your neck.

Girl spent 8 hours under
bodies in French Alps
By JAMEY KEATEN
The Associated Press
CHEVALINE, France
French investigators struggled
today to explain how a 4-year-
old girl could go undetected
for eight hours in a car full of
corpses in the French Alps.
They also acknowledged
that they still dont know why
a family of British vacationers
were slain in a BMW on a
remote mountain road near the
French village of Chevaline.
The attacker or attackers
violently beat and shot the
girls sister, who is about 7
years old, Prosecutor Eric
Maillaud told reporters in
nearby Annecy. The older girl
was found near the car and
hospitalized. She will be oper-
ated on but her life is out of
danger, he said.
French authorities were
not releasing the identities of
the victims, but said the car
was registered to a man with
a British passport, born in
Baghdad in 1962. A Swedish
passport and Iraqi passport
were also found at the scene,
Maillaud said.
Four people were found
dead on the remote road:
one adult man in the drivers
seat of the British-registered
BMW; two women in the back
seat, one older than the other;
and a French male cyclist who
appeared to have nothing to
do with the family.
The bodies were found
Wednesday by a British for-
mer air force officer who was
cycling by, the prosecutor said.
A number of rescuers
firefighters, medical work-
ers, police apparently
eyed the crime scene after
it was reported about 4 p.m.
on Wednesday. Local officials
then waited for special inves-
tigators to arrive, police said.
The 4-year-old girl was
only found after midnight,
but was doing fine physically,
Maillaud said. She described
hearing cries and asked inves-
tigators where her family was.
She was taken into police care
and will be questioned later,
he said.
The prosecutor said they
were looking at all possible
motives and are protecting the
girls in case the killers are
still on the loose and want to
get rid of witnesses to the
killings.
Three of the four victims
were shot in the head, and the
fourth victim remains in the
car pending further investiga-
tion, Maillaud said.
He said the bodies will be
autopsied Friday.
We strictly dont know
why these people were killed,
Maillaud said.
Death toll in refugee boat sinking hits 58
ISTANBUL (AP) Some
58 people drowned when a
fishing boat carrying migrants
that smugglers had promised
refuge in Europe sank after
hitting rocks off the coast of
western Turkey, officials said
today.
Nine children were among
the dead, according to Turkeys
Dogan News Agency. Several
dozen survivors, mostly from
Iraq and Syria, were able to
swim through the Aegean
waters to shore, only 50 meters
(160 feet) away.
Survivors had told authori-
ties that some people were
trapped below the deck of the
submerged vessel, and div-
ers launched an operation to
try to find them. Television
footage showed several rescue
vessels near the dim outline
of the submerged boat, which
lay just below the surface of
the water. Ambulances waited
at the top of a cliff, but there
were no indications that any-
one else had survived.
The group of migrants had
previously made their way to
hotels in the city of Izmir,
where smugglers agreed to take
them to Britain. Authorities
arrested two Turkish suspects
in the smuggling operation,
Turkeys TRT television
reported.
TRT earlier quoted Tahsin
Kurtbeyoglu, a local admin-
istrator, as saying 20 bodies
were recovered, but the toll
rose through the day as more
bodies were pulled from with-
in the boats confines. Those
who survived were on the
deck, rather than below with
other members of their group.
It was not immediately clear
when the boat sank, but many
such vessels carrying migrants
make the journey at night to
avoid detection by authorities.
Migrants from Asia and
Africa have long sought to
reach Europe by passing
through Turkey, and their des-
perate efforts have occasion-
ally ended in disaster.
Equipment truck
crashes, delays
Kiss-Mtley Cre
I N D E P E N D E N C E
TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP)
Rock bands Kiss and Mtley
Cre have postponed a sub-
urban Detroit concert by one
day because of the crash of an
equipment truck in Ohio.
The groups canceled
Wednesday nights show at
DTE Energy Music Theater,
rescheduling it for tonight. The
venue is in Oakland Countys
Independence Township.
Mlive.com and The Detroit
News says officials report that a
pyrotechnic truck flipped on its
way to Detroit and spilled ...
gear all over the freeway.
The Lima News in Ohio says
the crash happened Wednesday
on northbound Interstate 75.
It says the driver was treated
at a hospital and the equipment
reloaded on a trailer.
The bands say in a statement
that they decided to give the
crews an extra day so fans get the
show they expect to deserve.
Suspects sought
after Hollywood-
style bank heist
LOS ANGELES (AP)
Two masked gunmen man-
aged to evade authorities after
a bizarre bank heist, strapping
what they said was a bomb to
her midsection and forcing her
to order employees to take
out all the money from her
branch.
The bank robbers got away
with an undisclosed amount of
cash from the Bank of America
when it opened Wednesday
morning, but no one was
injured in the robbery. No
arrests had been announced by
late Wednesday night.
A Los Angeles County
sheriffs bomb squad disabled
the device, but investigators
said it wasnt an explosive.
The bank manager was
snatched in front of her home
Wednesday morning, said
sheriffs Capt. Mike Parker.
She arrived at her workplace
wearing a device the men had
strapped to her stomach.
She was told that it
was explosives and she was
ordered to go into the bank
and take out all the money,
Parker said. She did do that
in fear for her life.
The women then ordered
her fellow employees to
remove the cash from the
bank and it was thrown to the
men who were waiting out-
side, authorities said. Parker
would only say there was a
decent amount of money at
the bank and the manager did
enter the safe.
The two men, who were
armed with handguns and
wore ski masks, took off in a
two-door car, possibly a Kia,
and remain at large.
Parker said the woman
remained inside the bank until a
bomb squad arrived and removed
the device from her body. The
bomb squad later disabled the
item with a robot. Nearby busi-
nesses were evacuated for a few
hours as a precaution.

Dear EarthTalk: I imagine youve been
down this road before, but whats hot in
the green-friendly sunscreen department
nowadays?
Elaine Mayer, Ocean City, MD
Most of us assume that all we need do to
prevent sunburns and skin cancer from expo-
sure to the sun is to slather on any of the wide-
ly available sunscreens on the market today.
But the non-profit Environmental Working
Group (EWG) points out that this may not
be the case, and that consumers should be
careful about which sunscreens they trust for
themselves and, even more important, for
their kids.
According to EWG, some researchers
have detected an increased risk of melanoma
skin cancer among sunscreen users. No one
knows the cause, but scientists speculate that
sunscreen users stay out in the sun longer
and absorb more radiation overall, reports
EWG. Scientists also suspect, says EWG, that
free radicals, which get released as sunscreen
chemicals break down in sunlight, may be
playing a role.
Most sunscreens screen out some of the
ultraviolet B (UVB) rays from the sun that
lead to visible sun burns, but many do not
protect against the potentially more damag-
ing ultraviolet A (UVA) rays that penetrate
deeper into the skin and may facilitate the
development of skin cancer later on, regard-
less of how high a Sunburn Protection Factor
(SPF) the sunscreen may have. Also, EWG
warns that many common sunscreen ingredi-
ents generate free radicals that can damage the
bodys DNA and skin cells, accelerating skin
aging and potentially causing skin cancer in
the process.
But just because some sunscreens cant
be trusted and overexposure to the sun is
unhealthy doesnt mean staying indoors all
the time is a viable solution. Getting some
sun is good for you, as the body converts it
to Vitamin D, an essential nutrient that facili-
tates good health and prevents a wide range
of diseases.
So whats a sun lover to do? The
International Agency for Research on Cancer
(IARC) recommends wearing protective cloth-
ing, seeking shade, and timing outdoor play to
avoid peak sun. IARC adds that sunscreen
still has a place in our lives to augment these
other sun exposure minimization tactics.
But which sunscreens do live up to EWGs
stringent standards? The major choice is
between chemical sunscreens that break down
quickly, penetrate deep into the skin and
may disrupt the bodys hormone system, and
mineral varieties that can contain potentially
irritating and damaging nano-scale particles.
According to EWG, mineral sunscreens are
the better choice, as they protect against both
UVB and UVA rays, remain effective longer
and dont contain as many dangerous sub-
stances. Some leading mineral-based options
come from Alba Botanica, Beyond Coastal,
ECO Logical Skin Care, Karens Botanicals,
Kiss My Face, Poofy Organics and Solar
Sense, among others.
For those who dont like mineral based
sunscreens, which can be chalky and leave
a white film until washed off, EWG recom-
mends sunscreens with avobenzone (three
percent for the best UVA protection) and
without the notorious hormone disrupter oxy-
benzone. Some leading non-mineral choices
are available from manufacturers including
Bull Frog, Ocean Potion, Sunbow and Vichy.

Man gets life
in brutal beating
TOLEDO (AP) A
29-year-old Ohio has been
sentenced to life in prison for
the brutal beating of another
man last year who was found
with a crowbar embedded in
his head.
The Blade reports that
Brandon Hoffman was sen-
tenced Wednesday after
pleading no-contest to aggra-
vated murder and aggravated
robbery.
Lucas County Common
Pleas Judge James Jensen
said Hoffman showed a
rage almost beyond human
in beating Scott Holzhauer
to death last Nov. 26 in his
own home.
The 47- year - ol d
Holzhauer, a local cab driv-
er, was found face down in
a pool of blood. His guns
and cell phone were missing.
Hed been hit in the head at
least 24 times.
The plea and sentence
came after Hoffman lost a
motion to have some evi-
dence against him thrown
out at trial.
Husted ordered
to be in court
By ANN SANNER
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS A fed-
eral judge in Ohio ordered
the states elections chief
on Wednesday to appear at
a court hearing scheduled
for next week on the swing
states early voting rules.
The order comes after
attorneys for President Barack
Obamas campaign urged the
judge in court filings earlier
Wednesday to enforce his
ruling that gives all voters the
option of casting their ballot
in person during the three
days before Election Day.
Ohio is among 32 states,
plus the District of Columbia,
that allow voters to cast early
ballots in person without hav-
ing to give reasons.
U.S. District Judge Peter
Economus in Columbus has
scheduled a hearing for Sept.
13 on the Obama campaigns
motion and ordered Secretary
of State Jon Husted to show
up.
At issue is a part of the
states law that cuts off early
voting for most residents on
the Friday evening before a
Tuesday election. The law
makes an exception for mili-
tary personnel and Ohio vot-
ers living overseas.
Economus issued a ruling
last week, concluding that the
states law was unconstitu-
tional in changing the in-per-
son early voting deadline and
that the state was wrongly
valuing certain votes above
others.
The judges ruling said he
expects Husted to direct all
county elections boards to
maintain a specific, consis-
tent schedule on those three
days in keeping with his
earlier directive that only by
doing so can he ensure that
Ohios election process is
uniform, accessible for all,
fair, and secure.
Ohios attorney general
is appealing the decision to
the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in Cincinnati.
Husted, a Republican, told
county officials on Tuesday
not to set any in-person vot-
ing hours during those final
days because of the states
appeal.
He issued a directive to
the states 88 county boards,
saying they were strictly
prohibited from determin-
ing hours for the Friday,
Saturday, Sunday or Monday
before the election because
a court could later change
them.
Husted has said hes con-
fident there will be enough
time for him at the conclu-
sion of the appeals process
to set hours on the final days
before the Nov. 6 election.
Obama campaign attor-
neys said in their court fil-
ing that Husted didnt show
a legal basis for his direc-
tive, and he should abide by
the courts ruling unless its
reversed.
Attorney General Mike
DeWines office said its
reviewing the Obama cam-
paigns motion.
Husted spokesman Matt
McClellan said the secretary
of state issued the directive
to provide guidance to local
election officials following
last weeks ruling. He said
Husted wants to avoid a situ-
ation where boards were set-
ting different hours.
Secretary Husted believes
he was complying with the
judges decision, McClellan
said. If the judge thinks
differently our office will
rescind the directive imme-
diately.
Biden will head to Southeast Ohio
CINCINNATI (AP)
Vice President Joe Biden
will campaign in Ohios
Appalachian region in the
aftermath of the Democratic
National Convention.
The Obama campaign had
said earlier that Biden would
spend this weekend in Ohio.
So far, it has announced ral-
lies in Zanesville in east-
ern Ohio and the southeast-
ern Ohio college town of
Athens.
The mostly rural region
has been a swing area within
the swing state. Its loaded
with white, working-class
voters the campaign counts
on Biden to appeal to. He
last week campaigned among
auto workers in northeastern
Ohio.
In Athens, Biden speaks at
a community center near the
campus of Ohio University.
Biden is set to speak at
the convention this evening,
ahead of President Barack
Obama.
COLUMBUS (AP)
Almost all of Ohio has been
granted a natural disaster des-
ignation that will allow eli-
gible farmers access to fed-
eral assistance to help with the
effects of the drought.
Gov. John Kasichs office
said Wednesday that the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
granted the governors request
for the designation for 85 of
Ohios 88 counties. The gov-
ernor made the request after
severe heat, rainfall shortag-
es and other weather-related
disasters affected large areas
of Ohio over the spring and
summer.
The designation gives eli-
gible farmers access to fed-
eral assistance such as emer-
gency low-interest loans for
crop losses, relief payments
for non-insurable losses and
permission to cut hay for live-
stock from acreage otherwise
set aside for conservation.
Farmers in the 85 counties
are encouraged to contact
local Farm Service Agency
offices for more informa-
tion.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dems try to put platform
flap behind them
Fact Check: Clinton claims of compromise a stretch
Michelles valentine to men
By JIM KUHNHENN
Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C.
A stirring speech by former
President Bill Clinton and a sur-
prise appearance by President
Barack Obama seemed for
a moment at least to take the
sting out of back-to-back glitch-
es that upset Obamas carefully
scripted convention.
In a matter of hours,
Obamas team dealt with a
potentially severe weather
forecast by moving his today
nomination speech to a smaller,
inside venue. Under criticism
from Republicans, Democrats
hurriedly added references to
God and Jerusalem to the party
platform.
The goal when both unex-
pected issues arose was to move
quickly to minimize risk, lest
the president look disorganized
and uncertain just a day before
he takes the stage to make his
case for a second term.
Top Democrats hoped the
sight of Clinton and Obama
embracing Wednesday night
would alleviate any disappoint-
ment Democratic loyalists felt
about Obama scrapping plans
to speak in a 74,000-seat foot-
ball stadium, choosing a much
smaller basketball arena instead.
They also were banking on the
spectacle of two former presi-
dents drowning out the other
spectacle of Democrats scram-
bling to change the party plat-
form at the last minute.
The severe weather forecast
and the platform tussle clearly
threw Obamas campaign for
a loop.
As Wednesday began, his
aides and convention officials,
citing threatening weather,
announced they would aban-
don plans to have the president
address delegates, supporters
and the nation from Bank of
America Stadium, home of
the National Football Leagues
Carolina Panthers. The speech
will now occur in the Time
Warner Cable Arena where the
rest of the convention has been
held this week, with seating for
about 15,000 people.
Republicans and aides to
Republican challenger Mitt
Romney were quick to sug-
gest the Obama camp had
been unable to assemble a
big enough crowd for the out-
door event. The day before,
Obamas campaign manager
had declared the president
would speak at the stadium
rain or shine ... unless were
putting people at risk.
But campaign officials said
Wednesday they worried about
a thunderstorm creating safety
concerns and said they feared
alienating voters in the closely
contested state if they changed
venues at the last minute or held
a rain-soaked event.
Im a tough Texas lady
and I can take some rain, said
Susan Bankston, 65, a delegate
from Richmond, Texas. But
an outdoor crowd bedecked
in ponchos would send the
wrong message, she said.
Thats not good imagery for
the Democratic Party. We dont
run around in hoods.
Non-delegates who hoped
to see the president, however,
were crestfallen. It sounded
like I was going to be able to get
a seat in the stadium and now
theres just not enough room
here, said Maureen Lowe,
who was in the convention hall
Wednesday as a guest of a del-
egate.
Within hours, the party was
trying to squelch a storm inside
the arena.
Lambasted by Republicans,
Obama and party officials
pushed through amendments
that declared Jerusalem as the
capital of Israel and added a call
for a government that lets will-
ing workers make the most of
their God-given potential.
But a chaotic scene on the
convention floor and three
inconclusive voice votes only
drew more attention.
Inserting God and Jerusalem
in the platform, which had
been approved the day before,
required a two-thirds vote of the
delegates.
By MATT APUZZO
and TOM RAUM
Associated Press
WASHINGTON Its
a fact of life in Washington
that what one party considers
a principled stand, the opposi-
tion considers pigheadedness.
Compromise? Thats the other
guys problem.
But when former President
Bill Clinton took the stage
at the Democratic National
Convention on Wednesday,
he portrayed President Barack
Obama as a pragmatic compro-
miser who has been stymied
at every turn by Republicans.
There was no mention of the
role that the president and the
Democrats have played in
grinding compromise to a halt
on some of the most important
issues facing the country.
That was among the lines by
the former president and others
Wednesday that either cherry-
picked facts or mischaracter-
ized the opposition. A look at
some of them:
Clinton: When times are
tough, constant conflict may be
good politics but in the real
world, cooperation works bet-
ter. ...Unfortunately, the fac-
tion that now dominates the
Republican Party doesnt see
it that way. They think govern-
ment is the enemy and compro-
mise is weakness. One of the
main reasons America should
re-elect President Obama is that
he is still committed to coopera-
tion.
The Facts: From Clintons
speech, voters would have no
idea that the inflexibility of both
parties is to blame for much of
the gridlock. Right from the
beginning Obama brought in
as his first chief of staff Rahm
Emmanuel, a man known for
his getting his way, not for get-
ting along.
One of the more high-profile
examples of a deal that fell apart
was the outline of a proposed
grand bargain budget agree-
ment between Obama and House
Speaker John Boehner in 2011.
The deal would have
required compromise from
both sides. It slashed domes-
tic spending more than most
Democrats wanted and would
have raised some taxes, which
most Republicans oppose.
Boehner couldnt sell the
plan to tea party factions in the
House or to other conservative
activists. And Obama found
himself accused of going too
far by some Democratic lead-
ers. The deal died before it ever
even came up for a vote.
In another instance, Obama
appointed a bipartisan group,
known as the Simpsons-Bowles
Commission, to recommend
ways to fix major fiscal prob-
lems like Social Security and
Medicare. The commission
issued its recommendations but
fell three votes short of formally
endorsing them. And Obama
mostly walked away from the
report. He later incorporated
some of the less contentious
proposals from the report into
legislation he supported.
But that ensured the tough com-
promises would not get made.
The problem with compro-
mising in Washington is that
there are few true moderates left
in either party. The notion that
Republicans are the only ones
standing in the way of compro-
mise is inaccurate.
Clinton: Clinton suggest-
ed that Obamas health care
law is keeping health care
costs in check.
For the last two years,
health care spending has grown
under 4 percent, for the first
time in 50 years. So, are we
all better off because President
Obama fought for it and passed
it? You bet we are.
The Facts: Thats wishful
thinking at best. The nations
total health care tab has been
growing at historically low
rates, but most experts attri-
bute that to continued uncer-
tainty over the economy, not to
Obamas health care law.
Two of the main cost-con-
trol measures in Obamas law
a powerful board to keep
Medicare spending manageable
and a tax on high cost health
insurance plans have yet to
take effect.
CHARLOTTE, N.C.
Theres no point trying to
find something wrong with
Michelle Obamas speech
to the Democratic National
Convention. It was perfec-
tion.
From her stage presence to
her delivery from the punc-
tuating smile to the strategic
repetition of the words you
see it was brilliant. The
first lady ruled the first night
of the convention, and thats
saying something given the
lineup of oratorical stars she
followed, notably the Castro
twins, Julian and Joaquin,
respectively mayor of San
Antonio and Texas congres-
sional candidate.
No matter what ones poli-
tics, only the mingy-minded
could fail to be proud of
Americas first lady Tuesday
night. In this spirit, I sub-
mit my favorite lines of the
speech, which have received
scant attention. It was per-
haps the most important state-
ment of any thus far uttered
in either convention and has
been sorely lacking from the
American conversation.
Herewith: He was so
proud to be sending his kids
to college, and he made sure
we never missed a registration
deadline because his check
was late. You see, for my dad,
thats what it meant to be a
man. ... That was the measure
of his success in life being
able to earn a decent living
that allowed him to support
his family.
She was talking about
her father, of course, and his
struggles to make sure his
children got an education. One
could extrapolate her mean-
ing to include the problem
of unemploy-
ment, which,
she asserted,
would be solved
under Barack
Obamas watch.
But the larger
message was
not political. It
was that being
a man means taking care of
your family. It means showing
up and being there.
It means that children need
a father.
To this point, Michelle
commented during a film
montage immediately preced-
ing her speech that her
girls would not be who and
what they are without a man
who loves them. Their father.
The photo accompanying this
statement showed President
Obama nuzzling their young-
est child.
This profound and simple
message shouldnt need elab-
oration, but we seem to have
forgotten it. During the past
several decades, women have
been encouraged by a culture
dismissive of traditional fam-
ily structure to feel free to go
it alone and ignore the contri-
butions that fathers make in
the nurturing of children.
One neednt diminish the
heroic efforts of single moms,
many of whom are single by
necessity or circumstances
beyond their control, to under-
stand that fathering is just as
important as mothering. From
their fathers,
boys learn to
be men, and
girls learn
how to man-
age them. The
Obama girls
are indeed
b l e s s e d .
Theyll know
how to relate to men in healthy
ways and how to navigate a
sexually aggressive culture in
which some boys wont have
had a decent man to guide
them.
Yes, women can teach girls
these things, too, but a fathers
love for his daughter teach-
es without preaching. A girl
knows what a healthy mans
love looks and feels like. She
sees how he treats her mother.
She learns by experiencing
what should be.
The importance of father-
hood to the health of children
and therefore to the nation
cant be exaggerated. Studies
have shown for decades that
social pathologies afflict-
ing the young tend to clus-
ter among children without
fathers. We also know from
experience and the testimony
of some of Tuesday nights
speakers that single mothers
can and do raise exception-
al children. Again, see the
Castro twins.
But these young men are
exceptional, which is why we
are so riveted by their biog-
raphies. More often, young
males (and females) without
fathers wind up in trouble.
Boys join gangs in search
of male fraternity missing at
home. Young females seek
male attention, mistaken for
love, through sexual adven-
turism.
The Obamas seem to be
a model family, as do, by
the way, the Romneys. I also
loved Ann Romneys speech
in which she said she doesnt
have a perfect marriage. She
has a real one. Those who
have spent time in the marital
trenches understand what she
meant that marriage is hard
work and that parenting is the
hardest of all.
That Michelle Obama
chose to underscore those
struggles and to set an exam-
ple for women and, through
her daughters, for little girls
was a gift to the nation. That
she chose to highlight her
fathers meaning to her life
and that of her husband to
her daughters was a gift to
the future.
Brava.

RNC raise $100
million in Aug.
WASHINGTON (AP)
Mitt Romneys presidential
campaign has raised at least
$100 million in August, The
Associated Press has learned,
hitting that mark for a third
consecutive month with a fund-
raising prowess that has let
him outraise President Barack
Obama so far this summer.
The early numbers, which
include money raised by the
national Republican Party,
will be publicly released next
week. They were described
by two people familiar with
the figures who spoke on con-
dition of anonymity because
they were not authorized to
share internal campaign mat-
ters.
The numbers were
revealed on the first day of
the Democratic National
Convention in Charlotte,
N.C., where delegates will
nominate Obama for a second
term. Federal records show
that Romney and the GOP
have pulled in more cash than
Obamas re-election effort in
May, June and July, includ-
ing money collected by the
Democratic Party.
It is usually difficult for a
challenger to raise more money
than an incumbent holding a
major elective office, particu-
larly in a presidential race.
The figures exclude tens of
millions of dollars that outside
super political action com-
mittees are pouring into the
race to help Romney. Those
groups have been largely bank-
rolled by wealthy Americans,
thanks to changes in recent
years that have loosened cam-
paign-finance regulations.
The fundraising news fur-
ther underscores the problem
Obamas campaign may have
in staying above water on
the money side. While once
a record-breaker Obama
raised a remarkable $750 mil-
lion four years ago the
presidents advisers are now
publicly acknowledging the
incumbent likely will be out-
spent.
Obama and the Democratic
Party have not released their
August fundraising figures.

MILLER CITY
Jeffersons volleyball
matchup with Miller City
Wednesday night may have
been in the old Miller City
gymnasium a sweltering
place while the J. Harry
Leopold Gymnasium under-
goes repairs for the storms in
early July.
The Lady Jeffcats were
quite at home, thank you,
as they swarmed the host
Lady Wildcats 25-11, 25-11,
25-15.
Were used to practic-
ing in the heat, so thats no
problem. We used it to our
advantage, Jefferson coach
Joy Early said. We came out
with a lot of intensity early,
unlike our first two matches
last week where we were a bit
timid. We came out aggres-
sive and attacking.
For Miller City coach
Cheryl Kreinbrink, its a mat-
ter of her inexperienced crew
one returning letterwinner
getting tried by fire.
We dont have a lot of
numbers, so its hard to get
into a rhythm from practice,
she noted. I also have two
starters out Ariel Berger
and Kylee Ricker due to
injury and Ive had some ill-
ness. When I get one back,
someone else goes out. That
doesnt help trying to get
things rolling.
With no junior varsity
matchup due to lack of num-
bers for Miller City (0-3), the
Red and White Wildcats (3-0)
got off quickly: a 4-0 lead
with two kills from junior
Katelyn Goergens (8 kills, 4
aces). That just merely set
the experienced visitors on
the right road as they took
advantage of mistake-prone
Miller City. The home team
committed 13 hitting miscues
(29 for the match) and missed
three serves (8 total versus 2
aces) to only five hitting mis-
takes by the Jeffcats (16 total)
and one missed serve (8 total
versus 17 aces). When Miller
City missed a serve, the first
set went to the guests.
Delphos got off even
quicker in the second set
7-0 on a winner from junior
Rileigh Stockwell (4 kills),
three aces from Goergens and
three misfires by the hosts.
Even though Miller City
didnt make as many mis-
takes in the set eight as
the first, the visitors started
to get cranking more con-
sistently at the serve and the
net. Senior Fallon Van Dyke
(3 kills, 3 aces), senior hitter
Caitlin Landwehr and junior
libero Kamie Pulford (4 aces)
each had two aces in the set
and Goergens tacked on three
more spikes for good mea-
sure. When the Blue and Gold
were called for being in the
net on set point, the Jeffcats
had a 2-set edge.
We were 2-19 last year,
so weve already got more
wins this fall. We see a dif-
ference in attitude and team-
work, most definitely, Early
added. We have great senior
leadership and even from the
juniors. Rileigh (Stockwell)
is one of our voted captains
as a junior and Fallon is the
other. We have also spent
more time off the court trying
to build camaraderie.
Miller City came out much
better in the third set, putting
up a fight as they started to get
some kills as well as Delphos
putting in some errors of its
own. Miller City led by three
points three times the last
at 10-7 on a service error.
However, a net violation start-
ed the ball rolling and the Red
and White pieced together an
11-2 spurt led by two kills
from Landwehr (3 kills) and
two aces from Van Dyke
to take command at 18-12 on
an ace from sophomore setter
Brooke Culp (11 assists). The
guests finished it off from
there, getting a hitting mis-
take from the hosts on match
point.
We tell the girls that the
first two sets didnt happen,
that this is the best-of-5 and
not the best-of-3, Kreinbrink
added. Every match, every
set, we have to learn some-
thing to take to the next one,
like where the holes in the
defense are and where the
opponents are hitting.
Both teams return to the
court today: Jefferson at home
versus Ottoville and Miller
City at Cory-Rawson.

The Associated Press
BALTIMORE Former
Cleveland Browns and
Baltimore Ravens owner Art
Modell has died. He was 87.
The team announced
Modell died of natural causes
early today at Johns Hopkins
Hospital, where he had been
admitted Wednesday.
Modell was among the
most important figures in the
NFL as owner of the Browns,
which became the Ravens
after he took the team to
Baltimore in 1996 in a move
that tarnished his reputation
as one of the leagues most
innovative and influential
owners.
The Ravens won their lone
Super Bowl in January 2001,
less than a year after Modell
sold a minority interest of
the team to Steve Bisciotti.
In April 2004. Bisciotti com-
pleted purchase of the fran-
chise but left Modell a 1
percent share.
During his four decades as
an NFL owner, Modell helped
negotiate the leagues lucra-
tive contracts with television
networks, served as president
of the NFL from 1967-69 and
chaired the negotiations for
the first collective bargaining
agreement with the players
in 1968.
He also was the driving
force behind the 1970 con-
tract between the NFL and
ABC to televise games on
Monday night.
At one time one of
Clevelands biggest civic
leaders, Modell became a
pariah in Ohio after he moved
the team.
I have a great legacy,
tarnished somewhat by the
move, he said in 1999. The
politicians and the bureau-
crats saw fit to cover their
own rear ends by blaming it
on me.
The move was also
believed to be the main rea-
son why Modell never made
it into the Pro Football Hall
of Fame. He was one of 15
finalists in 2001 and a semi-
finalist seven times between
2004-11.
I believe Art belongs in
the Hall of Fame, former
New York Giants owner
Wellington Mara, now
deceased, said in 2002. I
dont think I know a person
who has done more for the
league than Modell, especial-
ly through television.
Modells Browns were
among the best teams of the
1960s, led during his first
few years as owner by leg-
endary running back Jim
Brown. Cleveland won the
NFL championship in 1964
Modells only title with
the Browns and played in
the title game in 1965, 1968
and 1969.
Modell said he lost mil-
lions of dollars operating the
Browns in Cleveland and
cited the state of Marylands
financial package, includ-
ing construction of a $200
million stadium, as his rea-
sons for going to Baltimore.
The Ravens replaced the
Baltimore Colts, who moved
to Indianapolis in 1984.
This has been a very,
very tough road for my fam-
ily and me, Modell said at
the time of the move. I leave
my heart and part of my soul
in Cleveland. But frankly, it
came down to a simple prop-
osition: I had no choice.
Ironically, the cost of the
move to Baltimore left him
financially strapped and with
no choice but to put in motion
the chain of events that
enabled Bisciotti to assume
majority ownership of the
franchise.
Bisciotti has since poured
millions into the team, financ-
ing construction of a lavish
practice facility in Owings
Mills, Md. As a tribute to
Modell, Bisciotti insisted that
a huge oil painting of Modell
be hung above the fireplace at
the entrance to the complex.
Born June 23, 1925, in
Brooklyn, N.Y., Modell
dropped out of high school
at age 15 and worked in the
Brooklyn Navy Yard cleaning
out the hulls of ships to help
out his financially strapped
family after the death of his
father.
He completed high school
in night class, joined the
Air Force in 1943, and then
enrolled in a television school
after World War II. He used
that education to produce one
of the first regular daytime
television programs before
moving into the advertising
business in 1954.
A group of friends led by
Modell purchased the Browns
in 1961 for $4 million
a figure he called totally
excessive.
You get few chances

OTTOVILLE
Wednesday night, the Ottoville
Lady Green hosted the Lady
Hornets from Cory-Rawson
in a non-league girls soccer
match.
The Lady Green scored
early and often in a 9-2 romp
over the Lady Hornets.
Right from the start of the
match, the Lady Green had
their high-flying offense in
gear.
At the 37:13 mark, junior
Monica Sarka sent a hard shot on
goal from the 10-yard mark but
the kick found the right side of
the crossbar and stayed in play.
Six minutes later, senior Nicole
Vorst sent a sharp pass to fel-
low senior Rachel Turnwald,
who found sophomore Haley
Landwehr in front of the net
and Landwehr redirected the
pass into the corner of the net
for a 1-0 lead.
The Lady Green found
junior Danielle Trenkamp at
the 25:55 mark streaking down
the left side and she found
a crease behind the goalie,
extending the lead to 2-0.
Less than one minute later,
Landwehr with a sharp
left foot pass found junior
Kendra Eickholt and made the
score 3-0.
It wasnt until the 21:00
mark that the Lady Hornets
even threatened the Lady
Green goal. Freshman Rebecca
Schutz had an open look at
the net but Lady Green senior
defender Casey Miller deflect-
ed and swept away the shot
from reaching the goal.
The next 10 minutes was
very interesting for Lady
Green freshman
Dana Eickholt.
At the 16:20
mark, Eickholt rifled
a shot that ricocheted
off the left goal post.
At 14:52,
Eickholts shot was
right on the goal
but was deflected
by Lady Hornet
goalie Abby Schultz
and just hung out-
side of the goal. Eickholt and
Turnwald tried to push it in but
with no success.
With 13:16 showing,
Eickholt again sent in what
looked like a sure goal but
again the ball hit the goal post
and she was denied.
Eickholts hard work paid
off at the 7:14 mark when she
again found herself with the
ball in front of the net and this
time she wouldnt be denied,
making it 4-0, home team.
One minute later, the Lady
Hornets took advantage of
a defensive lapse when two
Lady Green defenders collided
and fell to the ground, leaving
junior Natasha Shields wide
open and able to beat Lady
Green goalie Trenkamp for
their first score of the game.
The final score of the half
came at 1:42 when Landwehr
found Turnwald with a sharp
crossing pass for the goal, mak-
ing it 5-1 going
into the break.
Shots on-goal
for the first half
were as lopsided
as the score: 10-1
Lady Green.
The Lady
Hornets scored
one more goal
early in the sec-
ond half when
senior Erica
Frantz sent a free kick towards
the goal, which was headed
by sophomore Shiann Ludwig
past Trenkamp.
The second half found the
Lady Green keeping the offen-
sive pressure on as they found
the back of the net an addi-
tional four more times: Dana
Eickholt at the 25:33 mark,
Turnwald at 13:17, Kendra
Eickholt at the 7:36 mark and
Landwehr with 7:13 left.
All four had two goals for
the match.
Shots on-goal for the game
favored the Lady Green 16-5.
Lady Green head coach Tim
Kimmet was pleased with the
win but knows his team needs
to work on some things with
the teeth of the schedule and
the start of PCL play ahead: I
talked to the girls at halftime
about communicating better on
the field. Our problem was
that no one was being vocal
out there. I challenged them in
the second half to work on the
communication and it helped
with us being able to score
another four goals. We just
cant smack the ball around;
we need to work on our short
passes and be precise with
them.
The Lady Hornets (1-2-0)
will host Miller City Saturday
for a 2 p.m. start. The Lady
Green (5-0) will be on the
road Tuesday when they trav-
el to Lima Central Catholic
(Lima Stadium) for a 7:30
p.m. matchup and will start
Putnam County League play
next Thursday at home against
Miller City.

KALIDA Kalida girls soc-
cer coach Dave Kehres knew if
his team got on the board first,
they would have a
big advantage over
Putnam County
League rival Miller
City.
The coach got
exactly want his team
wanted and more
Wednesday night at
Kalida Soccer Stadium.
Kalidas Jackie Gardner got
the home team on the board with
the first goal with 19:19 left in
the first half and that was just the
beginning of the home teams
flurry of goals; Kalida scored five
times in six minutes on their way
to a 6-0 victory over the Miller
City Wildcats.
Gardner scored two goals
and had an assist in the contest,
while Summer Holtkamp, Joni
Kauffman, Lindsey Erhart and
Justine Verhoff all added goals in
the victory. Brittany Kahle added
an assist.
Holtkamp added to the lead
1:22 after the opening score
placing a shot from
the right side just
inside the 18 to
make it a 2-0 con-
test.
The home team
controlled the field
position for the bet-
ter part of the match
and their attack of the net added
to their dominance.
The Kalida LadyCats fol-
lowed each shot at the Miller
City net with precision.
They got their third goal off
a ricochet that came off a shot
from the right of the goalkeeper.
The ball was delivered in and
banked off the far post, off Miller
City netminder Mallory Peck
(12 saves) and right to a waiting
Erhart; the sophomore planted it
into the back of the net in giving
the home team a 3-0 lead with
16:10 to go in the first half.
The Kalida attack continued
to well attack.
Kauffman took a cross pass
off her chest that bounced past
the visitors keeper and into the
goal less than two minutes from
their last score, making it a 4-0
contest.
Kalida seemed to find the
goal area on several occasions,
hitting the crossbar or side posts
with regularity.
Nevertheless, Gardner used
the side post to her advantage
with 13:16 left in the half, getting
her second goal of the match,
banking the ball in off the left
post to give the home team Cats
a 5-0 lead.
However, Miller City con-
tinued to battle and had their
biggest attempt thwarted away
by Kalida keeper Sarah Verhoff
when Brandi Gershutz delivered
a point-blank shot right into the
Kalida keepers arms as time
expired in the first half.
The hosts continued their
dominance in the second 40
minutes, controlling the 50/50
balls and field position. Kalida
took four corner kicks in the
second 40 to just one for Miller
City and continued to dink the
bar as well.
The goal attack resumed as
well, the LadyCats working the
18-yard and 6-yard boxes to near
perfection.
Verhoff took a pass from
Gardner in the penalty area and
placed it to the right of the Miller
City keeper for the sixth Kalida
goal of the match.
Kalida owned the shots on-
goal 19-1 and stays undefeated
with the victory at 4-0-1 (1-0-0
PCL), while Miller City drops to
3-2-0 on the season (0-2-0 PCL).

The National Football
League season has begun
with Dallas beating the hated
New York Giants 24-17
Wednesday night.
The replacement officials
working the game didnt
cause a catastrophe.
The Cowboys were
called for 13 penalties and
the Giants four. However,
with the Cowboys using a
reshuffled offensive line due
to injuries and being on the
road against a front four
like the Giants, you can
understand some of
that.
The zebras also
missed some. Nothing
new here.
Does this mean that
we dont want the reg-
ular guys in stripes?
Perish the thought.
However, it means that
they now have less leverage
in their negotiations with The
League than they did before.
It will be interesting to
see what will become of the
Saints bounty scandal.
Suspended guys like
Jonathan Vilma, Will Smith,
Scott Fujita and Anthony
Hargrove through the
NFL Players Association
are asking for court help in
being allowed to play while
their case against the NFL
proceeds.
They are accusing the NFL
and Commissioner Roger
Goodell of overreaching in
his authority under the col-
lective bargaining agreement
and that the process for the
suspensions he handed out
was flawed because of it.
It does seem a bit unfair to
have the one handing out the
suspensions also hearing the
appeals. However, the pro-
cess was organized after the
CBA signed by both sides
last season.
Could the players end up
suing the NFLPA for this?

like this, he recalled at the
time. To take advantage of
the opportunity, you must
have money and friends with
more.
Aside from his work with
the Browns, Modell became
a leader in the Cleveland
community. He served on the
board of directors of a number
of large companies, including
the Ohio Bell Telephone Co.,
the Higbee Co. and the 20th
Century-Fox Film Corp.
Modell and his wife,
Patricia, continued their
charitable ways in Baltimore,
donating millions of dol-
lars to The Seed School of
Maryland, a boarding school
in Maryland for disadvan-
taged youths; Johns Hopkins
Hospital; and the Kennedy
Krieger Institute. The couple
also gave $3.5 million to the
Lyric, which was renamed
the Patricia & Art Modell
Performing Arts Center at
The Lyric.
Patricia, his wife of 42
years, passed away in 2011.
Modell was beloved in
Baltimore and hoped one
day the people of Cleveland
would remember him for
what he accomplished in the
city. Long after the move,
Modell pointed out that
Cleveland ultimately got the
new stadium he coveted and
that the expansion version of
the Browns could draw on the
history he helped crate.
I think that part of my
legacy is I left the colors,
the name and the records in
Cleveland, Modell added
then. The fans in Cleveland
were loyal and supportive.
They lived and died with me
every Sunday for 35 years.

Cowboys romp past Giants 24-17 to open season
By BARRY WILNER
The Associated Press
EAST RUTHERFORD,
N.J. Jason Witten was sup-
posed to stay home. Kevin
Ogletree was supposed to be a
bit player.
And the replacement offi-
cials were supposed to be a
fiasco.
Instead, Witten provided the
inspiration by playing weeks
after lacerating his spleen,
third wideout Ogletree made
the big plays and the officials
had a mostly quiet night in the
NFLs season opener.
The Cowboys waited all
year for another shot at the
New York Giants and when
they got it Wednesday night,
they were relentless in a 24-17
victory that really wasnt that
close.
We executed on offense
and defense when we need-
ed to, Tony Romo said after
throwing for three touchdowns
and 307 yards. We put them
in a hole. Our job was to keep
the pedal down, to not let up
because you know what kind
of team they have over there.
Not a good enough team
this night as the Giants lost
for the first time since Game
15 of last season. Part of their
6-game winning streak that
earned them a fourth Super
Bowl title last winter was a
win over Dallas on New Years
Day to take the NFC East. New
York did everything right back
then and very little right in
becoming the first NFL cham-
pion to lose the now-traditional
midweek kickoff game in its
9-year existence.
I dont think we played up
to our potential at all, defen-
sive end Osi Umenyiora said.
Obviously, they were pre-
pared and they fought and all
the credit in the world goes to
that team. They played a very
good game today.
And the field officials did
their part. It was feared they
would be a big factor with the
leagues lockout of the regu-
lars. But there were no contro-
versies, no blatant mistakes or
rampant confusion.
No problems, just as we
said there wouldnt be, league
executive Ray Anderson said
at halftime. Nothing changed
in the second half.
Many Cowboys credited
Wittens presence with lifting
their spirits and their perfor-
mance.
Sometimes you dont care
about yourself, you go out and
play for the guys, DeMarcus
Ware said. It was emotional.
We were all behind him when
he said he would play.
Witten, who had two catch-
es for 10 yards, didnt think it
was such a big deal.
I think and hope every
other player on our team would
do the same thing, he added.
At this point in your career,
you want that mentality to
leave it all out there.
DeMarco Murray rushed
for 129 yards and the defense
sacked Eli Manning three
times.
For Ogletree, the night was
a special homecoming.
I felt really good when
I woke up this morning, I
had great meetings, got to go
see my brother, explained
Ogletree, who grew up in the
New York borough of Queens.
Really good vibes today. Im
close to home, so its a good
feeling, but Dallas is my home
now.
When the Cowboys were
threatened late a spot in
which they often have folded
against the Giants Romo hit
Ogletree for 15 yards on third
down to clinch it. That gave
Ogletree 114 yards on eight
catches; he had 25 receptions
for 294 yards and no scores
entering the game.
On his 40-yard TD, Ogletree
broke free by thoroughly fool-
ing New Yorks top corner-
back, Corey Webster, to start
the second half the kind of
big play the Cowboys couldnt
make enough of in that Jan.
1 showdown that ended their
season. And they got another
huge play from Murray, who
broke two tackles in the back-
field, scooted down the right
sideline for 48 yards and set
up Dan Baileys 33-yard field
goal for a 17-10 lead through
three quarters.
After Manning connected
with former Cowboys tight end
Martellus Bennett for a 9-yard
touchdown with 2:36 remain-
ing, Dallas never gave the ball
back.
Take a bite out of humble
pie; thats basically what it is,
Giants coach Tom Coughlin
said. It brings you right back
down to earth.
Ahmad Bradshaw, scored
on a 10-yard run for New York
after receiver Domenik Hixon
made a spectacular leaping
grab for 39 yards over two
defenders.
Romo hit Bryant in stride
over Webster down the right
sideline for a 38-yard gain
on third down in the second
quarter. Two plays later, he
sidestepped the pass rush and
lobbed to a wide-open Ogletree
for a 10-yard score that made it
7-3 at halftime.
NOTES: Dallas is 35-17-1
in openers, best mark in the
NFL. ... LB Sean Lee made 10
tackles to lead the Cowboys. ...
Manning wound up 21-of-32
for 213 yards in the Giants
first loss since Game 14 of last
season. ... Cowboys starting
center Phil Costa aggravated a
back injury that kept him out
of most of the preseason. He
was replaced by Ryan Cook.
... Giants cornerback Michael
Coe left the game with a ham-
string injury, the fourth Giants
cornerback hurt this summer.

The Associated Press
NEW YORK On an
emotion-filled afternoon that
morphed into a shocker of an
evening, Andy Roddick and
Roger Federer both bid fare-
well to Flushing Meadows.
Roddick is leaving for
good, a moment he knew
would come this week.
Federer is presumably
gone only until next year,
though the timing of his 2012
U.S. Open exit was unex-
pected.
Roddick lost 6-7 (1), 7-6
(4), 6-2, 6-4 to No. 7 seed
Juan Martin del Potro to
bring the curtain down on
his career Wednesday an
ending that came, fittingly,
on the court where he won
his only Grand Slam title,
back in 2003.
Federer fell 7-6 (1), 6-4,
3-6, 6-3 to No. 6 Tomas
Berdych, who improved to
4-3 in his last seven matches
against the 17-time Grand
Slam champion, ending
Federers string of U.S.
Open semifinal appearanc-
es at eight, much the way
he halted Federers streak
of 23 straight trips to major
semifinals back in 2010 at
Wimbledon.
The two losers news
conferences were where the
postmatch drama was. They
couldnt have been any dif-
ferent in tone.
Maybe its a good
matchup for him, top-seed-
ed Federer responded in one
of his several short, clipped
answers when asked about
Berdychs recent success
against him. I dont see him
play every match he plays
on tour. Thats why I cant
really answer that question.
Roddick, however, lin-
gered over his final official
session with the reporters. He
said it was fun to be in Arthur
Ashe Stadium, listening to
the fans spur him on with
cheers of Lets go Andy
and to play tennis simply for
tennis sake.
It wasnt about ranking
points or paychecks or any-
thing else, Roddick said.
This week I felt like I was
12 years old, playing in a
park. It was extremely inno-
cent. That was fun. I enjoyed
it.
Last week, Roddick used
the occasion of his 30th
birthday to announce the
U.S. Open would be his last
tournament as a pro. He did
get one bonus day on the
grounds, thanks to a rain-
storm that delayed his match
Tuesday with him leading 1-0
in the first-set tiebreaker. He
hit the ground running, won
6-of-7 points after the restart
and won the tie-breaker.
That, however, was as good
as things got. He dropped the
second set in a tie-break-
er, fell behind by two early
breaks in the third, then after
getting broken early in the
fourth set, he could feel the
end was near. He appeared
to be trying to avoid crying
while serving in the next-
to-last game. In the stands,
both his mother, Blanche,
and his wife, actress-model
Brooklyn Decker, were wip-
ing away tears.
After match point, del
Potro met Roddick at the
net for a quick handshake,
then pointed at the American,
acknowledging that this was
his moment. Roddick cov-
ered his face with a towel and
took the microphone to thank
the fans.
Serena Williams, the No.
4 seed, overpowered No. 12
Ana Ivanovic 6-1, 6-3 to set
up a semifinal against 10th-
seeded Sara Errani, who beat
her Italian doubles partner,
Roberta Vinci, 6-2, 6-4.
The other womens semi-
final will pit top-seeded
Victoria Azarenka against
No. 3 Maria Sharapova, who
returned to her rain-suspend-
ed match with a 4-0 deficit but
defeated 2007 Wimbledon
runner-up Marion Bartoli
3-6, 6-3, 6-4.
Advancing to the mens
quarterfinals were defending
champion Novak Djokovic
and his Serbian Davis Cup
partner, eighth-seeded Janko
Tipsarevic, along with No.
3 Andy Murray, who was
down a set and 5-1 in the
second before he rallied for
a 3-6, 7-6 (4), 6-2, 6-0 over
No. 12 Marin Cilic.

Dear Annie: My wife
and I have been married for
18 years, and we have three
children. I always thought
we got along great. Over the
past few years, we have not
been as intimate as we once
were, and I attributed it to
busy schedules, children, etc.
However, recently I discov-
ered that my wife has been
having Internet
chats with a par-
ticular gentleman,
and these chats get
rather steamy.
Annie, I cannot
even get my wife
to hug me with-
out resistance, but
yet she can talk
to a stranger like
this. She doesnt
know that I have
seen these con-
versations. Is the
handwriting on
the wall? Should I prepare
myself for her to leave? --
Confused in Virginia
Dear Confused: Some
women (and men) enjoy flirt-
ing online with anonymous
strangers. Its playacting
and fantasy, and they dont
believe these relationships
will threaten their marriages.
But even if your wife is not
looking for real-life excite-
ment, you should not ignore
this. Please dont jump to
conclusions. A crucial part
of marriage is good commu-
nication.
Tell your wife you saw her
chats with this man. Dont be
accusatory or angry. Simply
say that you love her and
this makes you sad and wor-
ried. Ask her whats going
on. She also needs to stop
contacting this man in order
to regain your trust. If she
refuses, hedges or indicates
that there are problems in
your marriage, ask her to go
with you for counseling.
Dear Annie: My nephew
and his bride planned a small
wedding ceremony with only
the parents and siblings pres-
ent. They made no secret of
their plans. They also invited
the rest of their family and
friends to a big celebration a
few weeks after.
Imagine their surprise
when a cousin and her daugh-
ter showed up at the ceremo-
ny uninvited. This was not
a spur-of-the-moment thing.
It involved time off of work
and getting on a plane. She
left right after, saying she had
other plans.
How can the bride and
groom get over the trauma
of an uninvited guest? She
ruined the wedding. What
does one say to a wedding
crasher who feels no shame,
but wants to keep it a secret
from other family members?
-- She Ruined the Wedding
Dear She: Please try
not to be so overwrought.
This cousins behavior was
extremely rude, but unless
she got drunk, knocked over
the bride and jumped into all
the photos, she did not ruin
the wedding. If it was that
important for the ceremony
to be private (after broadcast-
ing all the details), the couple
could have hired someone
to stand at the door and turn
away uninvited guests. This
cousins behavior
was ill-mannered,
but she simply
watched the cer-
emony and left.
Unless the bridal
couple wishes this
to cause lasting
harm, it can be for-
given.
Dear Annie: I
read the letter from
Married to an
Octopus, whose
husband cant keep
his hands off of her.
I am in my mid 50s and dat-
ing and can give a different
point of view. I envy her.
I am attractive, well edu-
cated and kind, and I keep
myself in good shape and
enjoy socializing. But to my
surprise, the men I am meet-
ing have very little interest in
romance. Where have all the
loving men gone?
For the past four months,
I have been dating a man
whom I would almost pay
to be romantic. He never
initiates intimacy and, from
what he says, considers it a
chore. Wow, really? I would
be flattered to have a little
groping and sexy talk. I am
starting to feel like his sis-
ter. -- Enjoy What Youve
Got
Dear Enjoy: Too much
or too little of anything can
be a problem. If the majority
of the men you meet have
no interest in intimacy, you
might ask yourself whether
something thats attracting
you to them is also part of
the problem.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2012
In coming months, you are likely
to be more fortunate in enterprises
that are novel and have pronounced
elements of glamour. Even if its
unfamiliar turf, thats not a bad thing,
and you should do quite well.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- An
opportunity might come your way
through a very unusual channel. Pay
attention if someone with a good track
record approaches you with a unique
proposition.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- If youre negotiating something
important, be leery of making
unnecessary concessions. Youre in a
stronger bargaining position than you
may realize.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
Even though you might be drawn into
a problematical situation not of your
own making, after everything and
everybody settles down, it could end
up being extremely beneficial.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-
Dec. 21) -- Dont rush to judgment
regarding an idea hatched by your
spouse or significant other. After
considering other factors, it might not
be as outlandish as you first thought.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- Owing to your ability to revitalize
endeavors that are gasping for life,
friends and associates might end up
looking on you as a champion of lost
causes.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) --
Think twice before rejecting a social
invitation to join a gathering that
would involve meeting new people.
Chances are it will turn out to be an
entry into a wonderful, new group.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
Lady Luck may take it upon herself
to engineer two new, potentially
profitable developments for you. Each
will be completely different from and
unrelated to the other.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
Do your best to put your colleagues
and playmates at ease. In fact, there
could be more than one person with
sagging spirits who could use some
serious buoying up.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Because your upbeat attitude has you
seeing orchids where others only see
weeds, chances are youll be the one
who spots a great opportunity that all
of your cohorts are missing.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Some of your ideas concerning
a promising situation are excellent.
Now all you need is to have enough
belief in your abilities to put your
ideas to work.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Because what goes around comes
around, you are likely to be rewarded
for a previous kindness. Ironically,
recompense wont come from the
original recipient.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Even
at the expense of shelving an ongoing
project, stop and devote some time
to getting your latest interest started.
Chances are youll make more
productive headway with this new
project.

Police in legal minefield on Ariz. immigration law
By JACQUES BILLEAUD and
NICHOLAS RICCARDI
Associated Press
PHOENIX More than two years after it
was signed into law, the most contentious part
of Arizonas landmark immigration legislation
is expected to finally go into effect following a
federal court ruling issue late Wednesday.
But the U.S. Supreme Court has laid a legal
minefield that Arizona now must navigate when
the critical provision takes effect. The clause,
one of the few significant ones that the high
court left standing in a June ruling, requires all
Arizona police officers to check the immigration
status of people they stop while enforcing other
laws and suspect are in the country illegally.
While preserving that requirement, however,
the Supreme Court explicitly left the door open
to arguments that the law leads to civil rights
violations. Attorneys would need actual victims
to make that case.
Civil rights activists are preparing to scour
the state for such victims. Lydia Guzman, who
runs Respect/Respeto, a Phoenix group that
tracks racial profiling, said volunteers at the
organizations call center have already been told
to listen for new complaints when the require-
ment goes into effect.
Were watching and were looking for
cases, she said.
Barring a successful, emergency challenge
of Wednesdays ruling to an appeals court an
outcome that legal observers believe is unlikely
the requirement is expected to go into effect
in the next several days. U.S. District Judge
Susan Bolton rejected arguments by civil rights
attorneys that she should prevent the require-
ment from kicking in, noting that the Supreme
Court had specifically found that the provision
should be allowed to become law.
Arizona police were formally trained on how
to implement the law shortly after Gov. Jan
Brewer signed it in 2010. The heads of some of
the states biggest law enforcement agencies
the Phoenix and Tucson police departments and
the Pima County sheriffs office were critical
of it but ultimately said they would obey what-
ever parts the courts found to be constitutional.
We enforce laws passed by our legisla-
tors, Sgt. Tommy Thompson, a Phoenix Police
spokesman, said Wednesday night, noting the
requirement still has not gone into effect.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who
has been the most publicly aggressive in pur-
suing illegal immigrants, said in an interview
Wednesday that his deputies already check the
immigration status of people they encounter.
Arpaio, a supporter of the law, said he expects
no differences other than an increased number
of lawsuits.
The laws author, former state Sen. Russell
Pearce, said he does not expect sweeping chang-
es in the way local police will conduct them-
selves once the requirement kicks in.
Im not asking for roundups, Im not asking
for anything but paying attention and doing your
job, he said. Its not that we want people in
jail. We want compliance.
Peter Spiro, a Temple University law profes-
sor who has followed the two-year legal battle,
said Arizona remains in a difficult legal spot.
If the states savvy at all, its going to be
very cautious about how it implements the
requirement, he said. To the extent that its not,
its going to be very vulnerable on this.
Further litigation, Spiro said, is immi-
nent.
Since it overwhelmingly passed Arizonas
Republican-controlled Legislature in 2010, the
immigration law has been fiercely challenged
in court.
Among its opponents was the Obama admin-
istration, which challenged the law based on the
argument that federal immigration law trumped
Arizona law. The challenge didnt confront
racial profiling, and the administration failed
to persuade the nations highest court to strike
down the questioning requirement.
To the supporters of Arizonas law, the
questioning requirement was the most important
part of the statute, whose stated purpose was
to reduce the problems associated with illegal
immigration through enforcement by the state.
Immigrant rights groups believe the require-
ment presents the most opportunities for civil
rights abuses.
Shortly before the law was to take effect in
July 2010, Bolton prevented police from enforc-
ing the questioning requirement and other parts
of the statute, ruling the Obama administration
would likely succeed in showing federal law
trumps the state law.
Brewer appealed the ruling, lost at the 9th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and took her case
to the Supreme Court.
Less controversial sections of the law have
been in effect since late July 2010 but have
rarely been used.
Arizonas law was passed amid voter frustra-
tion with the states role as the busiest illegal
entry point into the country. Five states
Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina and
Utah have adopted variations of Arizonas
law.
Brewers office said the law is expected to
go into effect shortly.
The courts have now consistently found
that the plaintiffs have not met the high bar in
arguing this law needs to be enjoined before its
allowed to take effect, gubernatorial spokesman
Matthew Benson said. Certainly, Gov. Brewer
is pleased with this decision. She believes its
time SB1070 is implemented and so that we can
see how effective this law is in practice.
Karen Tumlin, an attorney for the National
Immigration Law Center, said her office was
considering our legal options after Boltons
ruling.
We were surprised and disappointed, said
Dan Pochoda, legal director for the American
Civil Liberties Union of Arizona.
Judge may order Fort Hood
suspects beard shaved
By ANGELA K. BROWN
Associated Press
FORT HOOD, Texas A judge today was expected to
order the Army psychiatrist charged in the deadly 2009 Fort
Hood shooting rampage to have his beard shaved, which could
trigger yet another delay in his upcoming murder trial.
Col. Gregory Gross, who said he will issue the order this
week, first will preside over a hearing to determine how a
federal religious freedom law applies in Maj. Nidal Hasans
case. Witnesses for Army prosecutors and Hasans attorneys
will testify.
Beards are a violation of Army regulations, and soldiers
who disobey orders to can be shaved against their will. Gross
has repeatedly said that Hasans beard, which he started grow-
ing in jail this summer, is a disruption to the court proceedings.
Gross has found Hasan in contempt of court at the past six
pretrial hearings, then sent him to a nearby trailer to watch the
proceedings on a closed-circuit television.
Hasan, 41, is charged with 13 counts of premeditated mur-
der and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the
November 2009 attack on the Texas Army post.
Hasan told the judge last week that he grew a beard because
his Muslim faith requires it, not as a show of disrespect. Hasan
previously appealed after Gross said he would order him to
be shaved if he did not get rid of the beard himself before the
trial. Gross said he wants Hasan in the courtroom during the
court-martial to prevent a possible appeal on the issue if he is
convicted.

Years ago, in a darkened
parking lot in the middle of
the night, Kathy Padilla would
meet with fellow transgender
people who sought support
from one another in a soci-
ety that treated them like out-
casts.
How things have changed
since then for transgender
men and women in America,
who have made great strides
in recent years toward reach-
ing their ultimate goal: to be
treated like ordinary people.
On Tuesday, they won another
victory when a Massachusetts
judge became the first to order
prison officials to provide
sex-reassignment surgery for
a murder convict, saying it
was the only way to treat her
gender-identity disorder.
The ruling marked the lat-
est milestone in the increasing
visibility of a class of people
once roundly derided as freaks
or used as a punch line.
Now there are transgender
delegates at the Democratic
National Convention,
said Padilla, a 55-year-old
transgender woman from
Philadelphia who has been an
advocate since 1984. And a
number of transgender people
have been invited to the White
House.
In recent years, more than
a dozen states have revised
anti-discrimination laws to
include transgender people,
giving them hate-crime pro-
tection and providing rights
as basic as restroom access.
Transgender officials have
helped raise the movements
profile by winning elective
office in city halls, landing
coveted appointments in the
White House and, yes, send-
ing delegates to political con-
ventions.
The Massachusetts court
ruling, though, shines a light
on what many advocates view
as the worst form of discrimi-
nation still faced by transgen-
der people: lack of access to
medical care.
Transgender people
are still denied health care
access all the time, said Mara
Keisling, executive direc-
tor of the National Center
for Transgender Equality.
Theres insufficient training,
insufficient cultural compe-
tency, and insufficient human-
ity sometimes.
Transitioning from one
sex to another can involve a
variety of treatments, includ-
ing hormone therapy, but
the most expensive one is a
sex-change operation, which
can cost up to $20,000. Even
though the American Medical
Association and other medical
experts recommend coverage
of services for transgender
people, a small but growing
number of companies that
actually provide it includ-
ing Apple, Accenture and
American Express are still
the exception.
The availability of federal
health care that covers treat-
ment for gender-identity dis-
orders for such classes as
federal employees, veterans
or Medicare recipients is
muddled.
U.S. Sen. Scott Brown of
Massachusetts, who as a state
senator filed unsuccessful leg-
islation in the late 2000s to
ban the use of tax money to
pay for the surgery for pris-
on inmates, said surgery for
the inmate at the center of
Tuesdays ruling would be
an outrageous abuse of tax-
payer dollars.
We have many big chal-
lenges facing us as a nation,
but nowhere among those
issues would I include pro-
viding sex change surgery to
convicted murderers, he said
in a written statement. I look
forward to common sense pre-
vailing and the ruling being
overturned.
In July, Leon Rodriguez,
director of the federal
Department of Health and
Human Services office for
civil rights, sent a letter to
an advocate reaffirming that
federal health care funding
extends to medical needs of
transgender people. But the
agency also said insurers are
not required to cover transi-
tion related surgery.
The nation as a whole has
not yet embraced the idea that
a gender reassignment surgery
is a medically necessary pro-
cedure that could have dra-
matic health benefits, advo-
cates say.
If somebody doesnt
receive treatment, it can lead
to very serious incidents of
self-harm, said Jennifer
Levi, a professor of law at
the Center for Gender and
Sexuality Studies at Western
New England University in
Springfield, Mass. One of
the things that the judge rec-
ognized is that theres a lot
of public misunderstanding
about the experience of trans-
sexualism. And theres a lot of
bias and prejudice.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. A Missouri judge will try the
criminal case against the highest-ranking Catholic official in
the U.S. to be charged with shielding an abusive priest, three
weeks before it was to go before a jury.
Bishop Robert Finn and the Catholic Diocese of Kansas
City-St. Joseph are charged with one count of failing to report
suspected child abuse to the state.
Their trial was scheduled to start Sept. 24 in a case that car-
ries a maximum penalty of a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Instead, a set of stipulated facts negotiated by both sides
will be presented today afternoon to Judge John M. Torrence.
Mike Mansur, a spokesman for Jackson County prosecutor
Jean Peters Baker, said a verdict is expected by the end of the
day.
The charges stem from the Rev. Shawn Ratigans child
porn case, in which church officials knew about photos on the
priests computer but didnt turn him in for six months.
Finn has argued that he was not the dioceses mandated
reporter under the law at the time, the responsibility rested
mainly with Vicar General Robert Murphy so Finn should
not face charges. Attorneys for both Finn and the diocese also
have argued that the states law is unconstitutional.
Mansur said the decision to have a judge, instead of a jury,
hear the case so close to the scheduled jury trial is unusual but
not unprecedented.
Bench trials are not typical, but they do happen, Mansur
said. Nothing about this case has been particularly typical.
A computer technician found child pornography on Ratigans
laptop in December 2010, and reported it to the diocese. Of the
hundreds of images found, many focused on the crotch areas of
clothed children and one series showed the exposed genitals of
a girl believed to be 3 or 4 years old.
Finn has acknowledged he was told in December 2010
about the images. The bishop also has acknowledged that a
parochial school principal had raised concerns about Ratigans
behavior around children in May 2010, half a year before the
photos were found.
Catholic bishop faces bench
trial in case tied to sex abuse
By MICHAEL VIRTANEN
Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. No one would confuse the Nite Moves
strip club with the Bolshoi Ballet, but what the lap dancers
do there is art and entitled to the same tax exemption other
performances enjoy, a lawyer argued Wednesday in what
was surely one of the racier tax cases ever to go before New
Yorks highest court.
W. Andrew McCullough, an attorney for the suburban
Albany strip joint, told the Court of Appeals that admission
fees and lap dances at the club should be freed of state sales
taxes under an exemption that applies to dramatic or musical
arts performances.
He said that lap dancing is an art form and that, in any
case, the state is not qualified to make such determinations,
and that making such distinctions would be a violation of the
constitutional right to freedom of expression.
A lawyer for the state rejected that analysis, and authorities
are demanding about $400,000 in back taxes from the club.
A ruling is expected next month, with possible conse-
quences for the estimated 150 to 200 adult nightclubs in the
state.
During Wednesdays arguments from the clubs lawyer,
a skeptical Judge Eugene Pigott Jr. said the women are hired
untrained and simply do what they do.
We need to get past the idea that somehow this is the
Bolshoi, Pigott said.
McCullough acknowledged that, but added: What were
saying is the state of New York doesnt get to be a dance
critic.
He presented testimony from a cultural anthropologist who
visited the club and concluded that the exotic dancing there
qualifies as an art form.
Robert Goldfarb, an attorney for the state, said that nobody
would visit the club if the dancers didnt remove their clothes.
He also argued that the exemption applies to choreographed
performances, and what the Nite Moves dancers do doesnt
qualify.
At least three members of the seven-judge panel questioned
the notion that a performance must be choreographed to be
considered artistic. Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman suggested
creative artists in particular often improvise.
Attorney Bradley Shafer filed a brief on behalf of the
Hustler club in New York City in support of Nite Moves and
said he has a similar case pending.
While Nite Moves does not serve alcohol, Shafer said the
ruling in this case could still affect strip clubs like his client
that have liquor licenses. He said there are somewhat similar
cases pending in Pennsylvania, Texas and Nevada.
Last year, the Texas Supreme Court said the state could
slap a $5 fee on strip club customers, rejecting arguments that
the so-called pole tax on nude dancing interferes with the First
Amendment right to freedom of expression.
A private lap dance goes for $20 for three minutes at Nite
Moves, a windowless building with a small stage and a pole.
Its definitely a form of art, a dancer said Wednesday
afternoon at Nite Moves, where there was only one customer.
She declined to give her name, saying she has another, unre-
lated job. Some girls are up there practicing for hours when
nobodys in here.
Transgender-inmate ruling is movements latest win

dance is tax-exempt art
