LIMA Bond was set at $1 million
in Lima Municipal Court Friday morning for the Delphos man who is accused
of fatally shooting his estranged wife in
a cornfield off Jones Road, east of Delphos.
Patrick Coller, 43, faces a murder
charge with a weapons specification
in the death of 42-year-old Gerri Coller.
According to Delphos Police reports, Patrick Coller went to the Delphos Police Department Thursday
evening and allegedly confessed to

custody and then he went with officers
to locate her body. He was reportedly
very calm throughout his contact with
officers.
Allen County Sheriffs Detectives
are handling the investigation. They
reported Friday the weapon believed
to have been used by Coller to kill
his wife was recovered. According to
a press release, the barrel of the gun
was sawed off and an attempt had
been made to remove the serial number. The release went on to say that
although no report had been filed, it is
believed the shotgun was stolen earlier by Coller.
Sheriff detectives are continuing the
investigation.
A clear path is made through the cornfield on Jones Road where the body of 42-yearold Gerri Coller was found Thursday after her estranged husband Patrick Coller, 43, led
officers to the location. (DHI Media/Nancy Spencer)

VAN WERT After the
recent situation involving the
Van Wert County Dog Warden and the Humane Shelter
on Bonnewitz Ave., the Van
Wert County Commissioners
met Friday to, as Commissioner Todd Wolfrum put it,
to get some input on how to
go forward. Van Wert County Sheriff Tom Riggenbach
and representatives of the Van
Wert County Humane Society
a few other interested citizens
sat down with the commissioners to look ahead at the
future for the dog warden position.
I think the three parties
who are signatory to wherever
this program goes are at the
table, Commissioner Thad
Lichtensteiger began. I guess
we are interested in finding
out what everyone is thinking,
the direction wed like to see
it go, and maybe addressing
some of the obvious shortcomings of the situation that
were still reeling from.
That situation didnt need
a lot of rehashing, although,
since everyone was fresh on
the details. Former Dog Warden Rich Strunkenburg was
fired by the commissioners
at the end of July, after being
placed on administrative leave
after a July 20 complaint was
filed with the Sheriffs Office.
The commissioners took action based on animals not being fed and watered, dead animals not disposed of, and pens
and animals at the shelter not
being cleaned.

Ohio unemployment rate jumps back up to 5.7 percent

By Ed gEBErt
DHI Media Editor
VAN WERT The unemployment rate in Ohio in July rose to 5.7
percent, back to the same point it
was in April. During May and June,
the jobless rate had dropped to 5.5
percent, but an additional 7,000 un-
employed and a decrease of 12,400

jobs during July forced a turnaround
in the statistics.
The number of unemployed is
now 323,000, which is still 110,000
fewer than 12 months ago. The number of employed workers in Ohio is
now 5,288,900.
Manufacturing jobs were down
by 2,900 in July while private-sector
service jobs fell by 11,600. Categories showing job gains included local government (6,900), and trade,
transportation, and utilities (1,000).
The June numbers for the state
had been stable after a steady fall
through the beginning of 2014. The
county unemployment rates showed
a different story, however. Van Wert
Countys rate rose from 4.5 percent
to 4.9 percent. Allen Countys rate

jumped from 5.2 to 5.6 percent, and
the jobless rate in Putnam County
increased from 4.1 to 4.5 percent.
Paulding Countys rate was up from
4.6 percent to 5.1 percent, and Mercer County continued with the states
lowest county jobless rate, but it rose
from 3.0 to 3.3 percent. The county
rates for July will be released on

Tuesday by the Ohio Department of

Job and Family Services.
Reports in June showed Van Wert
County with 13,300 unemployed
workers, Allen County with 46,000,
and Putnam County with 16,800.
The same report showed 700 unemployed in Van Wert County, 2,700 in
Allen County, and 800 in Putnam
County.

being drugged Dont turn your back, Act

InformAtIon submItted
COLUMBUS As students at Ohios colleges begin returning to campus, agents with
the Ohio Department of Public Safetys Ohio
Investigative Unit want to remind everyone
Dont turn your back, ACT. Drugging drinks,
or drink tampering, happens to both female
and males, at bars or even house parties, and
often leads to sexual assault or robbery.
We want friends to look out for their
friends, fellow bar-goers to look out for fellow bar-goers and bar staff to look out for
their patrons, said Agent-in-Charge Eric
Wolf. We want everyone to be safe. If you
see someone tampering with another persons drink dont turn your back on them,
dont be afraid to step up and act.
Bystanders and bar staff should let the
person know their drink may have been
compromised, get the individual out of the
situation and call 9-1-1 immediately. Contain the evidence if it is possible to do so.
Law enforcement officials know drink
tampering happens, however it is often not
reported. In many situations, victims may
be too embarrassed to come forward, or may
not have a full recollection of what occurred.
According to the Ohio Incident Based Re-
porting System (OIBERS), nine forcible

rapes with drugs as a weapon were reported
in 2013.
OIU is asking all bar patrons or party-goers to remember: Go to the bar with a friend
you trust; both alcoholic and non-alcoholic
drinks can be drugged; get bottles or cans;
dont leave your drink sitting around get
a new one; do not accept drinks from anyone you dont know or trust; if your back is
turned for one second, that is enough time to
tamper with a beverage get a new one; and
most importantly watch out for your friends
and others.
Also, drink tampering isnt just confined
to college campuses. In July, OIU provided
educational posters to the Ottawa County
Sheriff and Put-in-Bay Police Department
to distribute to island liquor establishments.
The agencies requested the posters after several reports of drugged drinks began surfacing earlier this summer.
If you have information about a person
tampering drinks please notify the Ohio
Investigative Unit by calling #677 on your
cell phone and your complaint will be investigated.
Not all police departments in the state of
Ohio report their crimes to OIBRS.

EPA introduces new repellency

awareness graphic
BY STEPHANIE GROVES
DHI Media Staff Writer
sgroves@delphosherald.com
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) recently unveiled a new
graphic which will appear on insect repellent product labels and show consumers how many hours a product will repel
mosquitoes and/or ticks when used as
directed.
Assistant Administrator of the Office
of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention Jim Jones said the EPA is working to
create a system that does for bug repellents what SPF (Sun Protection Factor)
labeling did for sunscreens.
By providing vital information to
consumers, this new graphic will help
parents, hikers and the general public
better protect themselves and their families from serious health threats caused by
mosquitoes and ticks, Jones said. We
are encouraging manufacturers to submit
applications so they can add the graphic
to their registered repellent products.
The EPA and the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) urge the
public to use insect repellents and take

other precautions to avoid biting insects
that carry serious diseases such as Lyme
disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever
(RMSF) and ehrlichiosis. Mosquitoes
can transmit debilitating diseases including West Nile virus and St. Louis encephalitis.
According to Ohio State Universitys
Emeritus Entomologist Dr. Glen Needham, Ohio is considered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) to be non-endemic for Lyme disease which is transmitted by Ixodes scapularis the blacklegged or deer tick. A
tick surveillance program established by
Ohio Department of Health indicates that
the number of blacklegged ticks have increased sharply in recent years from 15
in 2009 to 40 in 2010 to 184 in 2011.
The Ohio Department of Agriculture
found 29 of the ticks from seven counties in 2010 and 1,830 from 25 counties in
2011, Needham reported. As of 2012,
the tick has been found in 57 of the 88
counties of Ohio.
In addition, all three active stages of
the tick (larva, nymph, and adult) were

Local sponsors
enhance truck pulls
InformAtIon SubmItted
VAN WERT If you like big trucks youll be pleased
with yet another upgrade to the 158th annual Van Wert County
Fair. Over the past few years truck numbers have grown tremendously, making it difficult for local truck pullers to pull
in Open Truck classes due to time constraints. This year the
Van Wert County Agricultural Society and local sponsors have
pooled resources to run a double track and cover cost for a 3.0
Diesel Truck class.
Sponsors for the fair event include: CW Farms LLC/Stine
Seeds, Minnich Garage, Brad Thomas Tractor Restoration,
Wallace Plumbing, Mills Trucking, Osting Farm Drainage,
Scott Equity Exchange, Myers Transport, Webb Farms Trucking, Wenninger Seed Service and Scott Variety Shop.
Trustee Chris Webb and Fairboard Director CW Harting
took local feedback into consideration for ways to improve the
event and took it to the fairboard who approved the additions.
The county engineer aided the fairboard by hauling more clay
to the pulling track making it wider and enabling it to run two
sleds simultaneously. Bringing the dirt in was also a perfect fit
to help with the added feature of the Figure 8 Demo track on
Saturday at 4 p.m. in the Grandstand as well as provide possibilities for a Tug-a-Truck that will be held Tuesday night as an
unofficial kick off to the Fair.
Tug a Truck will happen Tuesday, Aug. 26, the night before
the fair begins, at 7 p.m. Though the fair will not officially
open until 8 a.m. Wednesday morning, admission to this event
is $5 and pit passes $10. This is another first for the fair, adding
the Tug-a-Truck to the unofficial kickoff. It will run two classes, a 5,500lb class and a 7,500lb class with 80 percent payback
per class for the top three finishers. Remember, the two-track
feature will allow the event to run quickly easing any concerns
about being out too late on a Tuesday night. Hook fee is $20,
26 hitch height with trucks scaled on site. More information
can be found at the www.vanwertcountyfair.com or by calling
event coordinator John Giessler at (419) 203-0067.
The fair pull will be Friday the Aug. 29 starting at 7 p.m.
Michindoh pulling series will start the evening with open class
to follow. More information is located at www.michindohpuller.org for Michindoh points classes. Open class entries will
close around 8 p.m. to start immediately following Michindoh
class. Admission into the grandstand is $6 for the event and
$15 for a pit pass. There is no age limit on the pits but you must
be 16 years of age or older to be in a hot pit area. Visit www.
Vanwertcountyfair.com for payouts. 2.6 Diesel Trucks, 3.0
Diesel Trucks, 8000lb Open Street Trucks diesel and 6500lb
Open Street Trucks gas offer something for everyone and is
sure to get the truck lover in all of us revved up and ready to go.
COLUMBUS State Representative Tony Burkley (RPayne) visited Van Wert Manor on Thursday, a rehabilitation
center that offers post-hospital surgical care and other health
services, in order to tour the facility and meet with staff and
patients. As a result of the visit, Rep. Burkley was able to
learn more about the strides Van Wert Manor has taken to
provide the most efficient care for their residents.
I applaud the work that Van Wert Manor has done to raise
the bar in providing health care, strengthen their employee
development, and maintain a positive role in their community, Rep. Burkley said. Understanding the vital role a facility like Van Wert Manor plays in the community is important
and I appreciated the invite as well as the warm welcome I
received.

Ruth - Great Enough to Make the Game Conform to Him

BY KIRK DOUGAL
DHI Media Group Publisher
kdougal@timesbulletin.com
It is hard today to understand
just how much of an impact Babe
Ruth had on baseball and society
during his lifetime. He signed his
first contract at the age of 19 with
the Baltimore Orioles in 1914. Before ever playing in a major league
game, he was sold to the Boston
Red Sox along with two other players. The Philadelphia Athletics and
Cincinnati Reds both passed on the
deal before the Red Sox stepped up.
Ruth impressed many players with
his abilities as a pitcher, leading
the league in several categories and
helping the Sox to win the World
Series in 1915, 1916, and 1918.
It was in 1918 the team decided
Ruth might be more valuable as an
everyday player. He immediately
led the American League with 11
home runs despite obtaining about
half as many at-bats as most players. Tris Speaker denounced the
move publicly, declaring Ruth had a
chance to be a big star as a pitcher
but the change would relegate him
to obscurity and shorten his career.
During 1919, his last season with
the Red Sox, Ruth led the American
League with 29 home runs, his first
Thousands Mourn Death of Baseballs Greatest Idol
From the
Archives
(AP) The sports loving nation

today mourned its greatest idol
Babe Ruth.
Leaders in all walks of life offered tributes. So did kids down on
the corner.
From his game baseball
came these expressions of devotion,
admiration and respect:
A.B. Chandler, commissioner
of baseball: His was the American story, the boy who came up
from obscurity to learn the peoples
game and go on to be a great national hero. His deeds will be an
inspiration for the children of the
world who will try to emulate him.
Will Harridge, president of the
American League: babe Ruth was
the greatest single figure and personality in the history of baseball.
The indomitable sportsmanship
and courage he displayed so many
years on the playing field and which
he showed though his long illness
stands as part of a glorious Ruth
legend that will live on always in
the annals of our national sport and
be an inspiration to youth forever.

league record.
During the off-season, the Babe
was sold to the New York Yankees.
Myth says the Red Sox owner needed the money to finance his Broadway play, No, No, Nanette. This
is not true because that play did not
debut until 1925.
RUtH/A8
New York Yankees: The greatest

hitter and greatest competitor of all
time has passed away.
Leo Durocher, manager of the
New York Giants: He was the
greatest inspiration to the youth of
America.
Burt Shotten, manager of the
Brooklyn Dodgers: Todays players in particular owe (him) a debt
of gratitude. His spectacular feats
widened interest in the game, drew
record crowds and enabled club
owners to double and even treble
the capacity of big league parks.
Soon we had better playing and living conditions and higher salaries.
Ruths contributions to baseball,
like himself, will always be remembered.
Zach Taylor, manager of the St.
Louis Browns: Baseball has lost
one of its greatest figures. I cant
help but feel sad at the news. I knew
Babe personally and he was one of
the greatest fellows on and off the
ball field.
Eddie Sawyer, manager of the
Philadelphia Phils: Baseball has
certainly lost its greatest figure and
the kids of America their greatest

idol and friend.
Bucky Walters, manager of the
Cincinnati Reds: I pitched against
Babe Ruth only once and walked
him not intentionally. Now that it
doesnt matter, I would have liked
to have seen him hit a home run off
me.
Lou Boudreau, manager of
the Cleveland Indians: Im terribly shocked. Baseball has lost the
greatest name it ever had.
Billy Meyers, manager of the
Pittsburgh Pirates, It almost has
been forgotten but Babe Ruth was a
great pitcher as well as a great hitter. I tried to hit against him in 1916
when I was catching for the Athletics. He was as good as they came.
Connie Mack, manager of the
Philadelphia Athletics: What he
has done for the youth of America
could not be done by any other
man. The youth of our country
thought more of him than of any
man living.

Interview with Theresa Lindeman

This is the third in a series
of interviews I had with elderly people in the late 1970s and
early 1980s. -R.H.
Jan. 1, 1981 - Interview
with Mrs. Theresa (Pothast)
Lindeman: age 93.
Lindemans did a lot of
charity work. Anybody in the
family got sick went there and
they would take care of them.
They had a family of eight
children and would take in
orphans for maybe a couple
of years or until they could go
out and work. If any one of the
neighbors were sick, you went
over and helped them. Mrs.
Joe Baumgarte was sick for a
couple of years and the neighbors would go over and stay
with her all night.
About 10 years after his
wife died, Mr. Lindeman was
home, making arrangements

with Mr. Birkmeier, when he
dropped over dead.
Joe Baumgarte, Joe Auer
and Joe Reindel were some of
the first in the area to get an
automobile.
My grandmother lived east of
Delphos on a north-south road
on a farm known as the old
Lause place. She would walk to
town and stop at her daughters
and rest a little, and then walk to
my brother Joes south of town

and then to our house, and my
mother would usually take her
to her sisters place in town. She
would go home about 3 oclock
so she could work in her garden.
She was around 70 years old at
this time.
The lane that goes to the
house where I used to live after I was married, (now Norbert Lindemans), was a road
that ran through to Reckers.
But before I was married, they
did away with that road.
My husband Hank had the
barn painted one time and he
called it the Cherokee Farm.
They said that Casper

It has been said that there are three sides
to every story yours, mine and then there is
the truth. Although I have used that expression
many times, I have to say this story only has
one side. It is a story about my memories and
as such, well, its a story told through just this
set of eyes. It was April 16, 1978 at 11:00 p.m.
at an address I was soon to become very familiar with 350 W. High Street, Lima Ohio.
Although I had been working for the government for years, this was my first day doing the
actual job of an incoming mail clerk and I was
petrified. First, I left a full-time job with a nice
benefit package to work as a probationary parttime employee in a city I had recently moved
to and was clueless about. Second, I was only
guaranteed four hours of work per two-week
pay period. No pressure really besides, my
wife was pregnant with our first child; we just
bought a house we could ill afford; and I still
had responsibility as the senior sergeant at the
Army Reserve unit that took up much of my
daylight hours. Sleep was something I could
only daydream about. All that was manageable, but the big stick was learning something

Learning from Mork

For those of us of a certain age, our first memories of Robin
Williams are of his kicking out the side of a gigantic egg on the
television show, Mork and Mindy.
For nearly 40 years Williams made us laugh in movies such
as The World According to Garp, Good Morning, Vietnam,
and Mrs. Doubtfire. He also made us take serious looks at
life in Awakenings, Dead Poets Society, and Good Will
Hunting. He amazed us in Aladdin and Bicentennial Man,
and he even scared us when he accepted roles on the dark side
of life, such as in One Hour Photo.
This week, Williams made us cry with his suicide.
It is difficult, if not impossible, for most of us to contemplate how he ever arrived at the point where the decision to
commit suicide was a viable option. Williams was an acknowledged comic genius who rose to the heights of his profession,
receiving multiple Academy Award nominations and winning
the Best Supporting Actor trophy for Good Will Hunting. He
also won two Emmy Awards, four Golden Globes, two Screen
Actor Guild awards, and five Grammys. Williams was also
married and had three children.
But that was what we saw in the public. Behind the scenes,
Williams battled addictions to cocaine and alcohol, returning
to rehab multiple times. In the past few years his health had
started to slip and he had an aortic valve replacement. He had
also recently been diagnosed with early-stage Parkinsons Disease. All of these changes added to the depression he had suffered from for decades.
Unfortunately, we often need to see something tragic happen to a notable or famous person before we sit up and take notice of a problem in our society. Suicide is an issue that should
have been on our radar long before Williams death. Consider
these statistics:
- In 2011, 39,518 Americans committed suicide, making it
the tenth leading cause of death in the country.
- There are twice as many deaths from suicide than from
HIV/AIDS.
- From 1952 to 1995, suicides in young adults tripled.
- For people in the 15-24-year-old age group, suicide is the
third largest cause of death.
- There are an estimated eight to 25 suicide attempts for
each completion.
- The strongest risk factor for suicide is depression.
- The typical profile of a person committing suicide is a
white male, middle-aged or older, towards the tail end of a successful career, who suffers from a serious medical issue and/or
substance abuse, and who has battled depression.
In short, the profile perfectly describes Robin Williams.
We will never know all of the pain and issues that went into
Williams decision to end his life. It is impossible now for any
of us to sit down and try to reason with him, talk him out of
such a permanent decision. However, perhaps we can use his
untimely death to learn and stop others from ending in the
same position.
Some symptoms and dangers of suicide include:
- Talking about wanting to die or killing oneself
- Talking about hopelessness or having no reason to live
- Talking about feeling trapped
- Talking about being a burden
- Showing an increase in drug or alcohol use
- Showing altered sleep patterns where they sleep either way
too much or too little
- Displays extreme mood swings
- Shows a loss of interest in things they used to care greatly
about
- Giving prized possessions away
If you see these warning signs in someone or you realize
you are having thoughts of suicide, please reach out for help.

I urge anyone who is being mistreated verbally or
physically to get out of the
situation. If there are children
involved, do so doubly fast.
You often hear the abused
party give a myriad of reasons
why they cant or wont leave.
They dont have any money,
nowhere to go or they were
more afraid to leave than to
stay. Fear is a great motivator.
Thats why the abuser has the
upper hand. The other person
is afraid sometimes of everything.
You will never hear me say
being afraid of something is
stupid. Fear isnt always bad;
its how we react to that fear
that determines how the story
unfolds. Fear gives some the
courage to do things they nev-
er would have otherwise. Fear

can also incapacitate someone
and prevent them from avoiding what they fear the most.
In the time it takes you to
read this column, more than
two dozen people in the United States will have been a victim of rape, physical violence
or stalking by an intimate
partner, according to the National Domestic Violence Hotline. Thats more than 12 million women and men over the
course of a year. Thats more
people than live in the state of
Ohio!
Police officers will say domestic violence calls can be
the most dangerous events to
respond to. Often, the victim
will refuse to press charges
and if the abuser becomes unruly or uncooperative and has
to be subdued by officers, the
victim will try to protect the
very person who is hurting
them. I dont understand the
logic or mentality in that but I
guess I dont have to. It is what
it is.
When someone stays in
an abusive relationship and
it doesnt involve children,
Im not quite as concerned as
when it does. Witnessing that
behavior teaches children its
OK. If its a man abusing a
woman it shows girls thats
how they should expect to be
treated and it shows boys its
OK to treat them like that and
if the situation is reversed,
vice versa.
I know that when my husband and I have enthusiastic
conversations, Little Ringos
ears and tail go down and he
kind of shrinks a little. He
doesnt like it. Blow that up
about 100 times for children.
They are little sponges collecting everything that goes
on around them and processing it for future use. They
should feel loved, safe and secure in their own home.
Children in abusive households are more likely to abuse
and be abused. You are the

adult. You need to break the

cycle.
If you are a victim of domestic violence, please get out
of the situation. Ask for help
from family or friends. You
have options that dont involve
being hurt.
If you have children, do it
not only for yourself, but for
them. It will be hard and they
may not understand and misguidedly blame you for the
absent parent or caregiver and
the situation they find themselves in. Be strong. You are
doing the right thing.
If you are an abuser, please
get help. You can stop it. You
can find the reason you act or
react the way you do and fix it.
You can break the cycle.

The headline goes here

One thing that is very hard
to do, for those of us in my business, is to write a headline to go
with a story. Personally, there
are times Ive sat and wondered
what the headline should say
for a longer time than it took
to write the story in the first
place. A storys headline is not
exactly a title for a story. The
purpose of a headline is to get
you, the reader, to actually read
the story. Thus, the headline
should have words that catch
your eye. Words like free or
sadly, dead and danger, will
catch your eye. I know they
catch mine.
I once lived near a town
in Indiana where the editor
seemed to think that the headline was more important than
the actual story. Headlines in
that paper instead of 6-8 words
long would be sometimes 6-8
sentences long. No one ever
needed to read the story, since
all the pertinent information
was in the headline.
Ive probably written my
share of loser headlines during my career. Ill freely admit
that. Its tough to write eight

words that tell somewhat what a
story is about and entice potential readers to break down and
spend a minute or two educating themselves. However, I can
tell you that its easy for a headline to go bad, to be misunderstood, to confuse.
Jay Leno had a running
comedy bit using some strange
headlines that appear in newspapers all over the globe. I like
to share such headlines as I do
my daily perusal of the information superhighway. Some of
these are much more entertaining than the story itself. Sometimes, a double meaning will
really cause an embarrassing
misunderstanding. Other times,
the story is just so weird that the
headline, by necessity, is weird
too.
Ill start by telling you my
personal favorite. I saw this
headline in person, in a newspaper that is not owned by any
company Ive ever worked for.
The headline read, Death ruled
a fatality. Of course death and
fatality are synonyms, so ev-
ery fatality is a death. I think

they mean that it was not an
accident, but that word would
be homicide. Whatever they
meant, what they wrote was
funny. Especially for a story
about death.
My other favorite was online. And after a day or so,
someone finally caught on to
the double meaning. The story
was about a woman with the
last name of Hooker and the
award she was given. The headline read, Hooker named Lay
Person of the Year.
Its amazing how often that
can happen. You unwillingly
write something quite funny. It
happens. But more often than
not, the story is just too weird
for the headline not to be weird.
Like this week. A lot of weird
stuff made the headlines online
this week. Ill share a few I ran
across this week:

You see, sometimes headlines write themselves because
the facts are just weird, stupid,
odd, or ridiculous. Pain and suffering for a bad haircut, mourning a dying eel, chickens crossing the road these will give
you an interesting headline no
matter how badly.

Resident speaks out

on recent column
To the editor,
An answer to A perspective on
the OSU Marching Band by Paul
Hoverman.
In this article, Mr. Hoverman
stated that because of a parent of
one of the female band members
complained there was an atmosphere
of sexualization in the OSU March-
ing Band. Feeling that the university

needed to take action, perhaps for
fear of a lawsuit, or maybe just out
of a sense of dignity, the three-weekold university president made a bold
move and fired Waters. He further
stated that he based his opinion on
the investigative report published
by the Columbus Dispatch. I must
admit, I did not read the Columbus
Dispatch, so I went to their website
and looked at the article online and
accessed the report through their
web links.
After reading the report released
by OSU, Mr. Hoverman is, at best,
misrepresenting the OSU report. It
wasnt the complaint of one students
parent but corroborated statements
made by staff, students, and documents. I am appalled that he would
consider sexual, racial and other
types of harassment being tomfoolery and letting your hair down.
LETTERS/A7
LEttErs
(From page A6)
The report has many sources of evidence of a culture of
sexual harassment. I am amazed in 2014 such a public figure
as Mr. Hoverman would write: Many of them are females
who either understood what they were getting into a male
dominated organization with military roots or just knew
and accepted that some of what they had to go through was
making them a stronger member of the organization. As if
harassment is just the price women or men pay to take advantage of educational and career opportunities or that they
should tolerate it, because it will make them stronger.
He went on to say: two years is not enough to change
a entire culture, Lets just hope that political correctness
doesnt destroy another proud institution. It doesnt take
years to enact and enforce zero-tolerance policies.
He wasnt fired because females were being admitted to
the band. The band had more than 40 years since Title IX
to make opportunities available to all, not just men. Not tolerating sexual harassment is NOT political correctness nor
will it destroy OSUs Marching Band.
Paul Hoverman, the executive director of NPAC, states
that a culture of sexual harassment should have more time
to change and that letting females in the organization can
destroy it.
I believe everyone deserves to work, play, live and get
an education in places free of intimidation and harassment.
Paul Hoverman does not represent my values.

Reader on traffic signal issue

To the editor,
Friday, Aug. 8, 2014, I signed the petition at the YWCA
to keep and return to regular operation the traffic signal at
the intersection of Main Street and Cherry Street in Van
Wert, Ohio.
That signal has been operating in the flash mode for months.
Apparently, the city government has chosen that mode in an attempt to show the signal is not needed as they want it removed.
That intersection has the Van Wert Variety Store just west of
the northwest corner, the post office on the southwest corner,
the YWCA on the southeast corner and the YWCA parking lot
on the northeast corner. I drive through that intersection often
and here are some of my observations:
Vehicular traffic
Northbound on Cherry Street and going onto or crossing
Main, one has to wait on Main Street traffic. The view is
often obscured by parked vehicles in front of the post office
and the YWCA which can cause one to creep into the intersection to view crossing traffic.
Southbound Cherry Street drivers face similar problems.
Note that Cherry is lower than Main on both sides adding
to the problem. Drivers on Main Street sometimes confuse
the flashing yellow signal with the yellow that precedes a
red and slow to a stop and sometimes abruptly stop. Both
actions could result in a following vehicle crashing into the
lead vehicle.
Pedestrian traffic
On Main Street and vehicle(s) are attempting to cross
Main. The pedestrian has to play a game of chance not
knowing when the driver may see an opportunity to go and
hurries into the intersection only to find there is now a pedestrian on the other side in his way. Driver is obligated to
stop for the pedestrian in the crosswalk while also, is obligated to exit the intersection.
On Cherry Street for either side, especially for the east
side, there is often the challenge of getting across Main. The
east side has many adults and children crossing between the
YWCA and the parking lot. Not only do those pedestrians
have to watch out for Main Street traffic they have to watch
for traffic turning right off South Cherry.
If the government wants to remove a traffic signal, they
should be considering the flashing signal at North Wayne
Street and Lincoln Highway. That signal is a left over from
when US 30 went through town. With a stop sign in place for
Lincoln Highway the flashing red light is not needed and the
flashing yellow for North Wayne Street does nothing.
I leave you with this statement and ask, is that being accomplished because of the way the signals are being operated at either of the intersections mentioned? Traffic control
is the safe and efficient movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

God created heterosexuals only, two of them, male and

to disobey God, and their fall into sin got them kicked out of
the Garden Of Eden, brought death into the world, and polluted all of creation, including all of Adam and Eves future

Depression colony cashing in on Johnny Cashs fame

By Kelly P. Kissel
Associated Press
DYESS, Ark. (AP) Money and
memorabilia from Johnny Cashs
family and friends have helped historians restore a significant part of the
Historic Dyess Colony, a government
collective built to pull Depression-era
families out of poverty.
The country music icons boyhood
home, along with the colonys former
headquarters, will open Saturday to
reflect everyday life in a northeast
Arkansas community built on oncesunken land.
Restoring the Dyess Colony
Administration Building, and even
saving at least one of the typical
colony houses, would have been a
worthwhile project, even without the
Johnny Cash connection, said Ruth

Hawkins, the executive director of the
Heritage Sites program at Arkansas
State University.
But the project would not have
gotten anywhere near the public support that it has, and it would not be a
major tourism draw, she said.
Before he was the Man in Black,
he was J.R. Cash, a son of Kingsland,
Arkansas, farmers who successfully
applied to take part in a 1930s Works
Progress Administration experiment.
The federal government brought in
487 families and gave them land and
a mule.
This was a practice in socialism,
said Roscoe Phillips, who was born
at Dyess 77 years ago. They took
people who had nothing and gave us
something. It wouldnt happen today.
Under selection criteria the

application ran on for eight pages
families were rewarded for their rugged independence but on arrival had
to share their excess with the community. Their contributions qualified
them for doodlum, a paper currency
not unlike scrip offered in company
towns.
Members of the Cash family were
representative colonists, Hawkins
said, so it was appropriate to incorporate their former home into the preservation effort. It also helps that countless Cash fans will plunk down $10
for a tour of both buildings.
I doubt that even our grant funders
primarily interested in the New Deal

Current labels of skin-applied repellent
products do not make it easy for consumers to
identify the insects repelled by a product and
how long it will work.
The benefits of the new graphic helps consumers protect themselves from disease carry-
ing insects by identifying the type of pest the

product is expected to repel. They will also
be able to choose a product with a protection
time that works for the duration of an expected
activity, which is in the form of a number(s)
shown in the graphic and represents typical
protection time(s) which are based on multiple, reliable studies.
The repellency awareness graphic will be
available only for skin-applied insect repellent
products.
In order to place the graphic on their labels,
manufacturers must submit a label amendment, including adequate test results to support the graphic and meet stringent safety

Those volunteers are likely
to be part of the solution at
the Humane Society Shelter.
The program still needs to be
designed, although Riggenbach has gathered information
from Allen County and other
counties about effective shelter volunteer programs. The
Humane Society representatives promised to get their entire group together to discuss
their involvement in such a
program. The major question
will be whether that group or
someone else should head up
the coordination of the volunteers.
As for the dog warden position itself, Owens noted his
preference that the person in
this position be a deputy who
will be able to handle other
law enforcement issues if
needed, as well. Riggenbach
agreed, noting he has a deputy who has been assigned to
the shelter and animal control
issues since the investigation
began. He stated Dep. Randy
Averesch has been doing a

great job and seems to have
a real calling for the work.
Already, he is taking names
and contact information for
potential volunteers at the
shelter.
If such a move is made,
the commissioners noted they
would likely need to help with
budgetary issues, as an additional deputy may need to be
hired to pick up some of the
work due to time taken away
with animal control issues.
Although no concrete decisions were made on Friday, a
general direction was established, and the three major
parties agreed to work together to build a program that will
serve not just the animals, but
the general public as well.

Browns hope to name

starting QB on Tuesday
BY TOM WITHERS
AP Sports Writer
CLEVELAND (AP) Finally, at
long last, the Browns have a date to name
their quarterback. Decision day is Tuesday for Brian Hoyer and Johnny Manziel.
Thats when Browns coach Mike
Pettine aims to announce his starter for
Clevelands Sept. 7 opener at Pittsburgh.
His choice could be influenced by how
the quarterbacks play in Monday nights
nationally televised exhibition at Washington.
Something unforeseen could come
up, but were hopeful because I do want
to see if I can cut the quarterback questions down by about 90 percent after next
week, said Pettine, a first-year coach
who for months has faced questions
about his quarterbacks. The chemistry,
the continuity, its important to establish
that.
On Thursday, Pettine said Hoyer will
start against the Redskins on Monday
night, with Manziel getting snaps with
the first-team offense. Pettine isnt sure
how hell divide their time and will see
how the game unfolds before determining when each is on the field. His focus is
making sure the reps are close to equal.
Pettine also made it clear no decision
has been made.
All of our options are still on the table, he said.
Does that mean Manziel, the popular
rookie who helped the Browns draw record crowds to training camp, can still
win the job?
Sure he can, Pettine said. All of
our options are still on the table. He just
needs to go out and play, thats the bottom line. They both do. Ive met with
both of them and discussed the situation and theyre both comfortable with it
and they both know its going to be up to
them, when theyre out there, to go out
and do their job.
As he has stated for months, Pettine
will choose the quarterback he feels gives
the Browns their best chance to beat their
bitter rivals.
Youre looking for the total package
the quarterback who is best suited to
take the field and lead us to a win against
the Steelers, Pettine said. Thats the
bottom line decision we have to make.
There will be a lot of things going into
it.
Pettine said he will consult with offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains and maybe
another guy or two in there. General
manager Ray Farmer will be there to
listen and observe.
Hoyer started Clevelands preseason
opener at Detroit, with Manziel playing
exclusively with the backups.
Pettine isnt disappointed with the
way the quarterbacks have played or that
one hasnt taken off and separated from
the other to make the decision easier.
They both started camp at a certain
point and theyve both made improvement, he said. I think theyve both
made big strides. When you look at it, I
feel like were in a good position, we have
two quarterbacks that we feel have NFL
starter ability, which is why its a difficult
decision.
Whatever decision is made, Pettine
knows its far from permanent.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)

Braxton Miller says hes
ready to play in a game. Now.
He even challenged a
sports writer to go out for a
pass, to prove that his surgically repaired right shoulder is
sturdy enough to wing a throw
on demand.
I feel good. I could throw
right now. You want to run a
route? he said, laughing. I
feel good, man.
With just over two weeks
remaining until the opener
against Navy, Ohio State is
being extremely cautious with
the tender right arm of its star
quarterback.
Miller, a two-time Big Ten
player of the year, had surgery
last spring on his throwing
shoulder. He missed all 15
spring workouts while rehabbing and, after a full load of
work in the first few days of
fall camp, sat out Saturdays
scrimmage with some soreness.
Coach Urban Meyer is not
concerned not now, anyway.
Its still early, he said. If
this was (later in camp) and he
didnt go, then thats going to
hinder our progress.
Ohio States coaches, including Millers protege, offensive coordinator and QBs
coach Tom Herman, are being
very careful. They dont want

to jeopardize their prized pupil, particularly when hes
backed by largely inexperienced subs.
Sophomores Cardale Jones
and Luke Morgan and freshmen J.T. Barrett and Stephen
Collier are Millers top understudies. None has faced the
heat in a game hanging in the
balance.
Because Miller is such a
precious commodity, and also
because the Buckeyes believe
they have an abundance of
other players to throw and
hand the ball to, its likely that
he will run the ball less than
he has in his first three seasons as a starter.
At least thats the plan in
mid-August. In a game, with
the outcome teetering on the
brink in the closing minutes,
well, then maybe that plan
will be revised.
Theres a definite conscious effort to limit the
called runs that we have had
for him in the past, Herman
said. But youre also talking
about one of the most dynamic
athletes in the country, too. So
well be cautious with him, is
probably the best way to put
it, while understanding that
element of his game is what
makes him so successful and
makes him such a challenge to
defend.

NASCAR restricts drivers from exiting

their race cars after incidents
By NOAH TRISTER
AP Sports Writer
BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) Even

Jimmie Johnson has a temper one that
was on display long before he became
a six-time champion and one of NASCARs most respected drivers.
I guess the one experience that comes
to mind for me in Cup was maybe my
rookie year at Bristol, he said. Robby
Gordon wrecked me on a restart, and I
got out and shot him the bird.
NASCAR has thrived for years thanks
to the personalities of some of its biggest
stars and that includes an occasional
feud, gesture or angry encounter on the
track. But less than a week after Kevin
Ward Jr. was killed during a sprint car

race in New York after being struck by a
car driven by Tony Stewart, NASCAR on
Friday barred its drivers from approaching the track or moving cars after an incident during the race.
Through time you have to recognize
when you get a reminder or tap on the
shoulder, something that may need to be
addressed, said Robin Pemberton, NASCARs vice president of competition and
racing development. This is one of those
times where we look outside our sport
and we look at other things, and we feel
like it was time to address this.
Johnson said he supports NASCARs
rule addition. The father of two also has a
slightly different perspective now on his
salute to Gordon all those years ago.

Im sure I picked up a few fans and
lost a few fans, he said. Now, as a
parent, if my childs hero was out there
shooting the bird to another ballplayer,
baseball player or football player or
whatever it was, Id probably try to steer
my kids away from that. So, it depends.
I dont think that entertainment value
should come with any safety implications. Safety is the No. 1 priority for drivers, crew members, and the officials that
are out there on the race track. And if it
turns a few fans off, then in my opinion,
theyre a fan for the wrong reason.
The new rule takes effect immediately
and applies to all NASCAR series.

In other words, Ohio State doesnt want to run
Miller any more than it has to. But it also wants to
make sure it wins; theres no need saving him for a
secondary bowl game.
Ill get a chance to throw it around to a lot different guys this year. Im very blessed with those additions this year. This is going to be fun once we step
out on that field, Miller said. You dont want to run
when youre a quarterback; you want to get the ball
out of your hands to the athletes.
So, for now, Meyer and his staff will continue to
monitor and measure, rest and test as the days to the
first game winnow away.
Im just resting up. Its being comfortable with
where Im at and making sure Im not overdoing what

Horoscope
By Eugenia Last
Saturday, August 16, 2014
Blondie
Resist the urge to compare

yourself with others. Stick
to your agenda and dont
feel that you have to keep up
appearances.
Questioning
your actions or being overly
emotional can prevent you
from having a realistic point of
view. Get down to business in
order to succeed.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- Dont let emotional issues
hamper your work. Mooning
over personal disappointments
will cause you to fall behind,
making you appear to be
unprofessi onal. Do your best;
success is the sweetest revenge.
For Better or Worse
Beetle Bailey
Pickles
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

-- Your game plan will work out
better if you are secretive about
it. The element of surprise will
be the determining factor that
will propel you into a better
position.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- Dont hesitate to form
a partnership. You will
be inspired by an offhand
comment
or
suggestion.
Express your thoughts and
plans with passion, and you
will gain support.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Work issues will prove
difficult if your emotions
get in the way. Avoid hasty
outbursts or accusations. Be
conscientious in order to gain
the support of the people who
matter most.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- Avoid an unsavory

situation with anyone in an
authoritative position. If the
grass looks greener on the other
side of the fence, its likely that
someone is coloring your view
to manipulate you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) -- Follow through

You can build a strong and
stable future.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March

to make personal changes. If
someone in your life is causing
you grief, stress or worry,
consider taking a time-out
to reflect on the state of the
relationship.
Marmaduke
ARIES (March 21-April

19) -- Your charisma will gain
you favorable attention. Get
out, mingle and enjoy being
in the spotlight. You have the
winning touch today and you
should make the most of your
popularity.
TAURUS (April 20-May

20) -- Your stubbornness can
lead to difficulties. Rather than
get frustrated with friends or
family, spend time doing your
own thing. Mull over whats
transpired and let it go.
GEMINI (May 21-June

20) -- Dont let anyone hold you
back. Rely on your knowledge
and ability to get ahead. Act on
your instinct, and refrain from
believing everything you hear.
Barney Google & Snuffy Smith
CANCER (June 21-July

22) -- You need to take care
of your responsibilities. An
important opportunity will slip
through your fingers if you are
too distracted by emotional
issues to pay attention to what
really matters.

of said real estate, and the proceeds of said sale applied to the payment of Petitioners Claim in the proper order of its priority, and for such
other and further relief as is just and equitable.

Head-over-heels romantics should come back to earth

DEAR ABBY: I have been
single for a couple of years. I
have always been levelheaded
when it comes to romance, but
Im finding myself unable to
control my feelings about the
new man Im seeing. Brent
is smart, intelligent, sweet and
loving. We have been dating
for a little over a week and he
has already given me keys to
his place. (I have a roommate,
or I would have given him my
keys, too!)
I love him. He loves me. I
am so happy. I feel calm and
confident about how were progressing. This is a first for me. I
know its unusually fast, but my
parents got married six weeks
after they met, and theyre still
happy together after 37 years.
Love at first sight is rare, but I
Dear
abby
with
Jeanne
Phillips
think this is it. Your thoughts?

DEAR WOWED: Im glad
for your parents, but because
they married six weeks after
they met does not mean you
must repeat history. Right
now, you and Brent appear
to be caught up in a whirl of
endorphins and adrenaline.
Because you asked for my
thoughts Ill share them: Slow

down until both of you have
your feet back on the ground
because that is how solid relationships are built. Your folks
were an exception to the rule.
If you dont believe me, ask
them.

DEAR ABBY: Im a
62-year-old male. My problem
is I have never been married,
and when I go on dates, women always want to know why
Im still single.
The reasons are financial
and also that Im allergic to
cats. (A lot of women own
cats.) I have never made much
money, and I live with my
mother. I cant afford to move
out, and even when I had a
place of my own, it didnt
make much difference. Id

like to be married, but this has
become a catch-22. No one
wants to marry me because I
have never been married.
I have looked this issue up
online and it is a huge problem;
women definitely discriminate
against never-married men.
Sometimes I wonder if I should
lie and say Im a widower.
What can I say to women who
interrogate me about this?
SEARCHING FOR A MATE
IN SAN DIEGO
DEAR
SEARCHING:
If you lie about the fact that
youre a lifelong bachelor,
at some point the truth will
come out and your credibility
will be shot. Thats why Im
advising you to tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing
but the truth.

Your marital status is nothing to be ashamed of. Not
everyone is meant to be married. You say you are 62 and
live with your mother because you cant afford to live
on your own. Has it occurred
to you that you might not be
able to afford being married?
Also, marriage is a big adjustment for anyone male or
female. There is no guarantee
that a person who has become
set in his or her ways can successfully make that transition.
This is not to say that you
shouldnt have companionship, but you dont need a wife
for that. A good friend or
several could provide it.

Homemade relief
Dear Heloise: I remember
seeing a recipe for homemade
cold packs. Could you please
reprint it? A Reader, via
email
Ah, this is a great moneysaving recipe! It is easy to
make. Use 3 parts water to
1 part alcohol. For example,
3/4 cup of water and 1/4 cup
of rubbing alcohol. There are
different strengths of isopropyl alcohol, and you can use
any of them for the cold pack.
The higher the alcohol content (60, 70 or 90 percent), the
lower the freezing point. So,
if you use 90 percent alcohol,
the pack wont freeze solid
and will be sort of slushy, but
will still work.
Pour into a sturdy zipperedtop bag, press out the air, then
put that into another bag for
double protection. If you want
to add food coloring so they
will be easily identifiable, do
so. You MUST label them as
such, so that no one mistakes
them for a frozen treat! They
can be used over and over.

LETTER OF THOUGHT
Dear Heloise: The other
day, I put my two dogs on
their leashes on a post in the
yard. I was watching out the
window as my Lab, Lucy, got
on her back and was writhing
back and forth, scratching her
back for quite a while. I was
laughing, until I noticed she
was going down the hill and
choking because of her collar
and couldnt get up.
Thankfully, she got up, but
she was heaving a bit when I
got to her. It never happened
before, but it scared me! You
have to be careful when putting dogs on a post. Alma
T., via email
Glad she is OK, and thankfully you were there and
watching! Dogs (and cats)
can inadvertently get into
some very dangerous trouble.
Please be careful when hooking them to a post or another
stable item. Also, take note
of anything their collars can
get caught on, like fencing or
decks! Heloise
FRUIT CUPS
Dear Heloise: Every time
I opened those little cups
of fruit, I would get juice
splashed on me! I learned to
hold the cup over the sink and
open it away from me, and
then juice doesnt get on me. If
you lean the cup back from the
opening, it doesnt spill at all!

PUZZLE PROBLEMS
Dear Heloise: I love doing the crossword puzzles in
the paper, but they are often
small and hard for me to see.
I use my copier to enlarge the
puzzle. Not only is it easier to
read, I can just make another
copy if I make a mistake.

Russia denies
its vehicles
destroyed in
Ukraine
KAMENSK-SHAKHTINSKY, Russia (AP) NATO
on Friday said a Russian military column ventured overnight
into Ukraine, and the Ukrainian president said his forces
destroyed most of it. Russia denied all of this, but the reports
spooked global markets and
overshadowed optimism driven
by agreement over a Russian
aid convoy bound for eastern
Ukraine.
The White House said
it was looking into what it
called unconfirmed reports
that Ukraines security forces
disabled vehicles in a Russian
military convoy inside Ukraine.
The Russian aid convoy of
more than 250 trucks has been
a source of tensions since it set
off from Moscow on Tuesday.
Kiev and the West were suspicious that the mission could be
a pretext for a Russian military
incursion into eastern Ukraine,
where government forces are
battling pro-Russia separatists
and clawing back rebel-held
territory.
Throughout the eastern crisis that erupted in April, there
have been consistent allegations
that Russia is fomenting or directing the rebellion. Moscow
rejects the allegations and the
high-profile aid convoy could
be aimed, in part, at portraying
Russia as interested in cooling
the conflict. Russian President
Vladimir Putin appeared to
cultivate that perception in a
Thursday speech in which he
said Russia hopes for peace in
Ukraine.
It was not clear what Russia could hope to gain by sending in a military column while
world attention was trained on
its efforts to get the aid convoy
into eastern Ukraine.
But some foreign journalists reported that Russian armored personnel carriers were
seen crossing into Ukraine on
Thursday night.
STORY OF THE DAY
BRUSSELS (AP) The

European Union on Friday
forged a unified response to
the rapid advance of Islamic
militants in Iraq and the resulting refugee crisis, allowing direct arms deliveries to
Kurdish fighters battling the
Sunni insurgents. Several EU
nations pledged more humanitarian aid.
The emergency meeting of
the blocs 28 foreign ministers
in Brussels marked a shift toward greater involvement in
Iraq, following weeks during
which the Europeans mainly
considered the situation an
American problem because of
the 2003 U.S.-led Iraq invasion.
EU ministers pledged to
step up efforts to help those
fleeing advancing Islamic
State militants, with several
nations announcing they will
fly dozens of tons of aid to
northern Iraq over the coming
days.
First of all, we need to
make sure that we alleviate humanitarian suffering,
Dutch Foreign Minister Frans
Timmermans told reporters.
Secondly, I believe we need
to make sure that (Islamic
State) is not in a position to
overrun the Kurds or to take a
stronger hold on Iraq.
France has pledged to ship
weapons to the Kurds and
Britain is delivering ammunition and military supplies
obtained from eastern European nations and is considering sending more weaponry.
Police identify
officer, allege teen
robbed store
By DAVID A. LIEB AnD ALAn SCHER ZAGIER

Associated Press
FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) Police on Friday identified

the officer who fatally shot an unarmed black teenager and
released documents alleging the young man had been suspected of stealing a $48.99 box of cigars from a convenience
store in a strong-arm robbery shortly before he was killed.
Police Chief Thomas Jackson said the officer did not
know the teen was a robbery suspect at the time of the shooting and stopped Michael Brown and a companion because
they were walking down the middle of the street blocking
traffic.
Darren Wilson, a 28-year-old white officer, has patrolled
suburban St. Louis for six years and had no previous complaints filed against him, Jackson said.
Browns relatives said no robbery would justify shooting the teen after he put his hands up. Family attorneys said
Browns parents were blindsided by the allegations and the
release of a surveillance video from the store.
It appears to be him, attorney Daryl Parks said, referring to the footage, which he said was released without any
advance notice from police.
The police chief described Wilson as a gentle, quiet
man who had been an excellent officer. He has been on
the Ferguson force for four years and served prior to that in
the neighboring community of Jennings.
Wilson, who was placed on administrative leave after the
Aug. 9 shooting, never intended for any of this to happen,
Jackson said.
According to police reports released Friday, authorities
received a 911 call at 11:51 a.m. on the day of the shooting
reporting a robbery at the Ferguson Market. An unidentified officer was dispatched to the store, arriving within three
minutes. The officer interviewed an employee and customer,

Roberson)
who gave a description of a man who stole the cigars and
walked off with another man toward a QuikTrip store.
Descriptions of the suspect were broadcast over the police
radio. The officer did not find the suspects either on the street
or at the QuikTrip, the reports said.
The robber took a box of Swisher Sweets, a brand of
small, inexpensive cigars. The suspects were identified as
18-year-old Michael Brown and 22-year-old Dorian Johnson,
according to the reports.
Separately, Wilson had been responding to a nearby call
involving a sick 2-month child from 11:48 am until noon,
when he left that place. A minute later, he encountered Brown
walking down Canfield Drive. The documents contained no
description of what happened between Brown and Wilson.
Johnson has told reporters that the officer ordered the pair
to move onto the sidewalk, then grabbed his friends neck
and tried to pull him into the car before brandishing his
weapon and firing.
He said Brown started to run and the officer pursued him,
firing multiple times.
Pigs, cows and votes: Candidates try for farm cred

For candidates in the Midwest, almost nothing tops a

talist Bruce Rauner, who talks

about his dairy farmer grandfather as a role model in his Republican bid for governor. And
then there is Iowa U.S. Senate
candidate Joni Ernst, a Republican who gained national attention with an ad touting her hog
castration skills.
Most voters in these states
dont work on farms. Most candidates dont either. But many
of those seeking office seem to
be stretching farther than ever
for a barnyard background to
establish some common-man
authenticity.
Its the classic I grew up in

a log cabin and walked uphill
to school both ways, said Sue
Dvorksy, a former chair of the
Iowa Democratic Party.
Sometimes the connection
requires a bit of tractor-pulling
effort.
Rauner is a millionaire with
two Ivy League degrees, but his
official biography stresses that
thanks to granddad: Bruce
knew how to ride a horse at 6,
milk a cow at 8, and shoot a
rifle at 10. Burkes main selling
point is her successes with the
family bicycle company, but a
Global turmoil hasnt

sunk US markets. Yet.
NEW YORK (AP) Europe appears on the brink of
another recession. Islamic militants have seized Iraqi territory.
Russian troops have massed on
the Ukraine border, and the resulting sanctions are disrupting
trade. An Ebola outbreak in Africa and Israels war in Gaza are
contributing to the gloom.
Its been a grim summer in
much of the world. Yet investors in the United States have
largely shrugged it off so
far at least.
A big reason is that five
years after the Great Recession officially ended, the
U.S. economy is showing a
strength and durability that
other major nations can only
envy. Thanks in part to the
Federal Reserves ultra-low
interest rates, employers have
ramped up hiring, factories
have boosted production and
businesses have been making
money.
All of this has cushioned the
U.S. economy from the economic damage abroad. And
investors have responded by
keeping U.S. stocks near all-
time highs. Not even reports

Friday of a Ukrainian attack on
Russian military vehicles unnerved investors for long, with
blue chip stocks regaining nearly all their midday losses by the
close.
Were in a much better
place psychologically, says
Mark Zandi, chief economist
at Moodys Analytics. And
its allowing us to weather the
geopolitical threats much more
gracefully.
Still, the global turmoil
comes at a delicate time.
China, the worlds secondbiggest economy, is struggling
to contain the fallout from a
runaway lending and investment boom thats powered its
