VAN WERT It isnt often that
a political party in Van Wert County
will come together to hear a politi-
cal speaker who doesnt represent the
area, but Rep. Jim Jordan brought in
nearly 200 people to hear his ideas
about Republican House objectives,
the future of health care, and the
strength of the country.
Jordan told the crowd a story about
Scott OGrady, the U.S. Air Force
ghter pilot who was shot down over
Bosnia and spent almost a week be-
hind enemy lines in 1995, recalling
the pilots words after his rescue.
In three short statements, this
young man has summed up what this
country is about, Jordan declared.
He went on to talk about OGradys
statements highlighting faith, family,
and freedom, focusing on the current
administrations positions on the rst
and second amendments.
Jordan also went into detail about
the I.R.S. targeting scandal, saying
This is as wrong as it gets, and the
resulting ap over missing emails
from I.R.S. ofcial Lois Lerner, and
their discovery weeks later at the Jus-
tice Department, stating, We caught
them with their hand in the cookie jar.
Jordan, who lives in Urbana, has
represented the Ohio 4th District
since rst being elected in 2006. He
is noted as a scal conservative and a
staunch advocate for families and tax-
payers. He has been re-elected three
times, winning by approximately 22
percentage points in the district. He
told the crowd he was never inter-
ested in politics while in high school,
keeping much attention focused on
his wrestling career, winning state
four times and nishing with a 150-1
record.
He commented on the affects of
the Tea Party movement within the
Republican Party, noting there is no
split in the party and Democrats were
pushing for a split with the Tea Party
groups. Jordan cited the leadership of
President Ronald Reagan who tried
to bring together social conservatives
and scal conservatives under the Re-
publican banner.
We have to work together as a
conservative-based party with some
latitude in there. Reagan got that.
And Reagan always did it. He talked
about doing whats good for the coun-
try, whats good for America, Jordan
said.
The speech from Jordan was held
at the Wassenberg Art Center and was
catered by Gibsons Barnyard Barbe-
cue. The event was sponsored by the
Van Wert County Republican Central
Committee.

Therapy dogs: A little fur goes a long way

DELPHOS They can lower blood pres-
sure and calm a crying child in the emergency
room. They arent found on a doctors prescrip-
tion pad; they come packaged with four paws,
fur and warm brown eyes. They are Sophie
and Sky, Mike Nichols therapy dogs.
Nichols, of Cairo, is a retired animal han-
dler who takes care of Sky and Sophie. They
are a black Labrador/German Shepherd mix
and will turn 8 years-old this November. He
found the dogs at the Kenton Animal Shelter
located in Kenton. Surprisingly, his son picked
them up and put them under the tree Christmas
morning. Nichols said they were a wonderful
addition to the family.
All types and ages of people can get therapy
dogs. Nichols travels all around with them, in-
cluding to schools, nursing homes, hospitals
and even assisted living facilities. The dogs
are sponsored through an organization known
as Pet Partners. Formally known as the Delta
Society, Pet Partners is an organization which
encourages the use of therapy dogs in the re-
spective communities. According to its mis-
sion statement, the agency encourages positive
human-animal interaction. According to Nich-
ols, he wanted therapy dogs because he liked
the concept of dogs helping other people and
has enjoyed the experience so far.
Animal handler Mike Nichols of Cairo
interacts with Sophie and Sky, his
therapy dogs that travel to hospitals,
schools and nursing homes around the
Tri-County area. He is registered with
Pet Partners that sponsors the dogs.

VAN WERT A few traditions are be-
ing adjusted a little for the 158th edition of
the Van Wert County Fair which ofcially
opens on Wednesday. There are new events,
a new building, and some new days and
times for favorite events in the 2014 celebra-
tion. But changes are nothing new at the fair.
The rst fair was in 1855, and the only event
that has pre-empted the fair is the American
Civil War. That is a lot of history.
The rst fair was a one-day affair held
at the former location of Dull Lumber. The
fair was held over two days, two years later,
and by 1871, the event lasted three days. The
length of the fair has uctuated many times
since then.
This years fair will run through Monday,
September 1, followed by the annual live-
stock auction Tuesday morning at the Farm
Focus arena. The most obvious change for
2014 is the replacement of the Rabbit Barn.
The old structure, which had been the oldest
structure on the grounds, was taken down,
and a new version has taken its place. Also
removed was the Gospel Pavilion which was
damaged by high winds this winter. A large
tent covers this area now and will serve as
the Gospel Tent this year before a new venue
is built for 2015.
The grandstand can now be accessed by
a ramp, especially for handicapped patrons.
The grandstand will be a popular place with
events throughout the fair beginning with
the tug-a-truck contest on the night before
the fair. Wednesday and Thursday nights,
harness racing returns to the Grandstand.
On Friday night, the Michindoh Truck &
Tractor Pull will be held. Saturday night
is the Triple Play of the Calf Scramble, hot
air balloon glow and concert from Emerald
Blue. The ever-popular demolition derby
will be held Sunday night, and on Monday,
its Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing
at noon and a hot air balloon glow at night.
Other events are scheduled during
the week in the daylight hours also at the
Grandstand, like hot air balloon rides and
Kids Dream Day when kids get to drive a
tractor around the race track.
Many ne musicians will be performing
during the week at both the Gospel Tent and
the Entertainment Tent. At the Gospel Tent
you can hear Chris August, The Ministers
Quartet, the Freedom Quartet, Trinity, and
Davis Dunn. At the Entertainment Tent, look
for Blair Carman, Cook and Belle, Connor
Rose, Polly Mae, and Broken Lights.

DENVER (AP) A judge
ordered a Denver man on Fri-
day to stand trial in the killing
of his wife, who told dispatch-
ers moments before her death
that he was paranoid and hal-
lucinating after eating mari-
juana-infused candy.
Defense attorneys for
48-year-old Richard Kirk sug-
gested during a preliminary
hearing that he was so im-
paired by the pot that he may
not have intended to kill his
wife.
But Judge Elizabeth Starrs
said there was enough evi-
dence for a trial on a charge
of rst-degree murder be-
cause Kirk showed he had
the wherewithal to remember
the code to a locked gun safe
and press the weapon to his
wifes head nearly 13 minutes
into her call with the 911 dis-
patcher.
Thats more than enough
evidence to establish probable
cause, Starrs said.
The ruling came after more
than two hours of testimony
from Denver police Detec-
tive Troy Bisgard, who drew
no conclusions about whether
the candy Kirk bought at one
of Colorados pot shops had
inuenced his erratic behav-
ior on the night of the April
shooting.
He said the only substance
found in Kirks blood was
THC, marijuanas intoxicating
chemical.
Man who ate pot candy
must stand trial in killing

Man sentenced for lying to judge
A Willshire man was sent to prison on Friday after a hearing for violating his
probation. Michael Speakman (right), 22, pictured above at his sentencing
hearing Wednesday, had told Judge Charles D. Steele he needed work
release since he worked at two jobs. Actually, Speakman is not employed
at either position, so the deferred prison sentence was handed down Friday
in Van Wert County Court of Common Pleas. Speakman was sentenced to
nine months in prison on a charge of theft from 2012, and to 12 months
in prison for telecommunications fraud. The two sentences will be served
concurrently. (DHI Meida File Photo)

Putnam County law enforcement reminds
motorcyclists to ride sober or get pulled over
OTTAWA The warmer weather
usually means that more motorcyclists
will be riding the roads. Captain Brian
Siefker form the Putnam County Sher-
iffs Ofce wants motorcycle riders to
know that from mid-August through La-
bor Day weekend, local law enforcement
ofcers will be cracking
down on drunk driving,
including motorcyclists.
Heres the deal,
Siefker explained, Weve
seen too many motorcycle
crashes in Ohio, many of
which are alcohol-related.
Riding can be a thrill, but
riding impaired is just
plain dangerous. Motor-
cyclists are especially affected by drunk
ridingnot only because they need to
be able to focus to maintain balance and
control of their bike, but they are also
more vulnerable in the event of a crash.
The U.S. Department of Transporta-
tions National Highway Trafc Safety
Administration (NHTSA) has released
some startling new data on motorcycle
riders and fatal drunk-driving crashes.
In 2012, almost a third (29 percent) of
all motorcycle riders killed in crashes
were legally drunk, with a blood alcohol
concentration (BAC) of .08 grams per
deciliter (g/dL) or higher.
In every state and the
District of Columbia,
its illegal to drive with
a BAC at or above .08,
and the Putnam County
Ride Sober or Get Pulled
Over campaign is part of
a national crackdown on
impaired riding. Law en-
forcement agencies across
the United States are
teaming up in the effort.
Its not about writing tickets and
making arrestsits about saving lives,
added Captain Siefker. We want every-
one to enjoy their summer and have a
great Labor Day weekend, but what we
really want is for everyone to stay safe.
When you drive drunk, youre not just
putting yourself at risk, youre putting
everyone else in danger, too.
In 2012, a total of 4,957 motorcycle
riders were killed in crashesaccount-
ing for 15 percent of all highway fa-
talities for the year. More than 2,000 of
those fatalities occurred in single-ve-
hicle motorcycle crashes, and of those,
43 percent of the operators were legally
drunk. NHTSA data also reveals that
weekend, nighttime crashes are even
worse, with 64 percent of the fatally in-
jured motorcyclists being drunk.
Captain Siefker is urging everyone
to plan ahead this Labor Day.
Decide now that you will ride
safelywear a helmet, travel the speed
limit, and ride completely sober. If
youre going to drink, have a sober rid-
er lined up ahead of time. Ride Sober
or Get Pulled Over, he said.

the end of a chain. I was
rescued and am ready to
start a new life. I do have
a secret to share I am
deaf and have a few neu-
rological issues. I tend to
sway back and forth, my
head bobs and sometimes I
grind my teeth. I get along
great with dogs, cats, kids
and everyone and every-
thing I meet. I will need a
new family that is patient
and willing to take the
time to train me.

Wright State alumnus discusses role in
helping violence-torn Ferguson, Mo.
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
DAYTON One of the
nations top law enforcement
ofcials, fresh from a visit to
riot-scarred Ferguson, Mo., to
help ease racial tensions, re-
turned to his alma mater to ad-
dress new students at Wright
State Universitys School of
Professional Psychology.
Cedric Alexander direc-
tor of public safety in DeKalb
County, Ga., which includes
part of Atlanta, and president
of the National Organization
of Black Law Enforcement
Executives is a 1997 gradu-
ate of SOPP. He arrived on
campus Aug. 22 to speak at
the SOPP convocation.
To have the opportunity
to train here at Wright State,
to be educated here at Wright
State, was probably one of
the most profound decisions
I made throughout the course
of my career, Alexander said.
During my study and time
here, I was able to learn a lot
about myself. More impor-
tantly, though, I was able to
learn a lot about people.
Alexander started his po-
licing career in 1977. After
receiving his doctorate in psy-
chology from Wright State
where he did his dissertation
on police stress and burnout
he went on to the Univer-
sity of Rochester Medical
Center, doing clinical work
and serving on the faculty. He
later served as federal security
director for Dallas/Fort Worth
International Airport.
Alexander became a key
peacemaker in Ferguson,
which was rocked with civil
unrest after an African Amer-
ican teenager was shot and
killed by a white police of-
cer.
He traveled to Ferguson on
Aug. 16 and spent two days
there, meeting with communi-
ty leaders and Ferguson Police
Chief Thomas Jackson.
Alexander said both sides
agreed that there needs to be
training within the police de-
partment on cultural differ-
ences. Only three of the 55
Ferguson police ofcers are
African American in a city
that is nearly 70 percent Afri-
can American, he said.
Alexander said communi-
ties and their police depart-
ments must support each other
to have good public safety.
I am very optimistic that
in light of all of the negative
images that weve witnessed
over the last couple of weeks, I
truly believe quite frankly that
those present opportunities for
this community to grow and
for the police department to
grow and for us as a nation to
grow, he said.
Alexander said his mes-
sage to SOPP students is to let
themselves explore all of the
career possibilities that will
enable them to better their
communities and the nation.
The opportunities are
endless for young people who
are coming into this program
here at Wright State, he said.
SOPP emphasizes gen-
eralist training, giving stu-
dents broad exposure to
theoretical models, clini-
cal skills and professional
roles that prepare them for
the practice of psychology.
A commitment to diversity
is reflected in the schools
policies for the recruitment,
retention and development
of faculty and students and
in its curriculum and field
placements.
Cedric Alexander, director of public safety in
DeKalb County, Ga., and a School of Professional
Psychology graduate, spoke at the schools

We created the Economic Crimes Unit to assist in hold-
ing con artists criminally accountable, Attorney General
DeWine said. We are proud to assist in cases like these. The
romance scam is a particularly low type of scam, and victims
deserve to see perpetrators brought to justice.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine created the
Consumer Protection Sections Economic Crimes Unit
in 2011 to identify criminal conduct in consumer fraud
cases and assist prosecuting attorneys in holding scam-
mers criminally accountable. To date, 82 people have
been convicted.
Romance scams or sweetheart scams are costly ploys
where con artists develop relationships with their victims,
usually online, and convince them to send money. In a typi-
cal sweetheart scam, the con artist meets the victim online
through a dating website or social networking site, communi-
cating through email, instant message, or phone. The scam-
mer eventually asks the victim to send money to help cover
some type of cost, such as travel expenses or business ven-
tures.
Since 2013, the Ohio Attorney Generals Ofce has re-
ceived approximately 75 sweetheart scam complaints. The
average reported loss is more than $23,000.
Attorney General DeWine offers consumers the following
tips to protect themselves:
Research someone you meet online; dont rely on what
that person tells you. Perform Internet searches and consider
getting a background check.
Be cautious of individuals who claim it was destiny or
fate that brought you together.
Talk to friends and family members about online rela-
tionships.
Dont send money to someone you meet online, even if
you have developed a relationship.
Be very skeptical of requests to send money via wire
transfer or prepaid money cards. These are preferred payment
methods for scammers.
Consumers who suspect a scam should contact the Ohio
Attorney Generals Ofce at 800-282-0515 or www.OhioAt-
torneyGeneral.gov.

Ohio Farm Bureau AGGPAC names
Kasich Friend of Agriculture
COLUMBUS Gov. John Kasich has been named a Friend
of Agriculture by Ohio Farm Bureau Federations Agriculture
for Good Government Political Action Committee (AGGPAC).
Friend of Agriculture is an ofcial designation that iden-
ties elected ofcials who have supported the public policy
goals of Farm Bureau.
Throughout his rst three and a half years in
ofce, Governor Kasich has clearly demonstrated
his appreciation of the importance of agriculture to
Ohios economy and quality of life, said John C.
(Jack) Fisher, Ohio Farm Bureaus executive vice
president and treasurer of AGGPAC. He has stead-
fastly supported policies that are good for Ohios
largest industry.
In deciding to designate Kasich a Friend of Ag-
riculture, the farmer-leaders of the committee cited
several specic actions by Kasich that are extreme-
ly helpful to Ohios farm community.
Kasich was instrumental in helping Farm Bureau
attain its long-term goal of repealing Ohios estate
tax. Prior to its repeal, the death tax often forced
families to sell land or equipment to meet the tax burden upon
the death of their parents, a situation that hindered the ability
to keep farms viable for future generations. Kasich, with the
cooperation of the General Assembly, recognized the punitive
nature of this tax and took the steps necessary to end it.
Other farm friendly tax reforms initiated by Governor Ka-
sich include a reduction in income tax rates and the introduc-
tion of the small business income tax deduction.
These tax changes will help keep farms and agriculturally
related business on solid nancial footing, allowing them to
expand, add jobs and put more money back into their commu-
nities, Fisher said.
AGGPAC leaders noted the importance of the governors
support for the Current Agricultural Use Valuation program,
which taxes farm property at its value as farmground rather
than for its development value, a system that is cru-
cial to keeping farming viable in Ohio.
The governors attention to the food manufac-
turing and processing industry was also recognized
by AGGPAC, including his support of a new Daisy
Brand dairy plant in Wooster and a new White Cas-
tle facility in Vandalia, evidence of Kasichs com-
mitment to Ohios food economy.
Most recently, Kasich cooperated with farmers
and environmental organizations to pass legislation
to reduce nutrient runoff from farm elds. The gov-
ernor also took a comprehensive approach to help-
ing the city of Toledo with its water challenges by
funding farm conservation efforts, city water infra-
structure improvements and research.
AGGPAC also acknowledged Kasichs personal
attention to Farm Bureau members.
The governor has come to Farm Bureaus board meetings.
Hes been to two of our state annual conventions, even taking
questions from delegates during our business session. He re-
cently hosted a large group of farm leaders and has gone to our
members farms to hear about our concerns and issues. Hes
made himself accessible to our members, and they appreciate
it, Fisher said.

life and spent my days on
the end of a chain. I was
rescued and am ready to
start a new life. I do have
a secret to share I am
deaf and have a few neu-
rological issues. I tend to
sway back and forth, my
head bobs and sometimes I
grind my teeth. I get along
great with dogs, cats, kids
and everyone and every-
thing I meet. I will need a
new family that is patient
and willing to take the
time to train me.
Zeke here. Lets get to
the point, fast. I need a
home, you need a cat, BAM

Wright State alumnus discusses role in
helping violence-torn Ferguson, Mo.
INFORMATION
SUBMITTED
DAYTON One of the
nations top law enforcement
ofcials, fresh from a visit to
riot-scarred Ferguson, Mo., to
help ease racial tensions, re-
turned to his alma mater to ad-
dress new students at Wright
State Universitys School of
Professional Psychology.
Cedric Alexander direc-
tor of public safety in DeKalb
County, Ga., which includes
part of Atlanta, and president
of the National Organization
of Black Law Enforcement
Executives is a 1997 gradu-
ate of SOPP. He arrived on
campus Aug. 22 to speak at
the SOPP convocation.
To have the opportunity
to train here at Wright State,
to be educated here at Wright
State, was probably one of
the most profound decisions
I made throughout the course
of my career, Alexander said.
During my study and time
here, I was able to learn a lot
about myself. More impor-
tantly, though, I was able to
learn a lot about people.
Alexander started his po-
licing career in 1977. After
receiving his doctorate in psy-
chology from Wright State
where he did his dissertation
on police stress and burnout
he went on to the Univer-
sity of Rochester Medical
Center, doing clinical work
and serving on the faculty. He
later served as federal security
director for Dallas/Fort Worth
International Airport.
Alexander became a key
peacemaker in Ferguson,
which was rocked with civil
unrest after an African Amer-
ican teenager was shot and
killed by a white police of-
cer.
He traveled to Ferguson on
Aug. 16 and spent two days
there, meeting with communi-
ty leaders and Ferguson Police
Chief Thomas Jackson.
Alexander said both sides
agreed that there needs to be
training within the police de-
partment on cultural differ-
ences. Only three of the 55
Ferguson police ofcers are
African American in a city
that is nearly 70 percent Afri-
can American, he said.
Alexander said communi-
ties and their police depart-
ments must support each other
to have good public safety.
I am very optimistic that
in light of all of the negative
images that weve witnessed
over the last couple of weeks, I
truly believe quite frankly that
those present opportunities for
this community to grow and
for the police department to
grow and for us as a nation to
grow, he said.
Alexander said his mes-
sage to SOPP students is to let
themselves explore all of the
career possibilities that will
enable them to better their
communities and the nation.
The opportunities are
endless for young people who
are coming into this program
here at Wright State, he said.
SOPP emphasizes gen-
eralist training, giving stu-
dents broad exposure to
theoretical models, clini-
cal skills and professional
roles that prepare them for
the practice of psychology.
A commitment to diversity
is reflected in the schools
policies for the recruitment,
retention and development
of faculty and students and
in its curriculum and field
placements.
Cedric Alexander, director of public safety in
DeKalb County, Ga., and a School of Professional
Psychology graduate, spoke at the schools
convocation. (Photo submitted)

The U.S. Attorneys Ofce, District of Maryland, is pros-

We created the Economic Crimes Unit to assist in hold-
ing con artists criminally accountable, Attorney General
DeWine said. We are proud to assist in cases like these. The
romance scam is a particularly low type of scam, and victims
deserve to see perpetrators brought to justice.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine created the
Consumer Protection Sections Economic Crimes Unit
in 2011 to identify criminal conduct in consumer fraud
cases and assist prosecuting attorneys in holding scam-
mers criminally accountable. To date, 82 people have
been convicted.
Romance scams or sweetheart scams are costly ploys
where con artists develop relationships with their victims,
usually online, and convince them to send money. In a typi-
cal sweetheart scam, the con artist meets the victim online
through a dating website or social networking site, communi-
cating through email, instant message, or phone. The scam-
mer eventually asks the victim to send money to help cover
some type of cost, such as travel expenses or business ven-
tures.
Since 2013, the Ohio Attorney Generals Ofce has re-
ceived approximately 75 sweetheart scam complaints. The
average reported loss is more than $23,000.
Attorney General DeWine offers consumers the following
tips to protect themselves:
Research someone you meet online; dont rely on what
that person tells you. Perform Internet searches and consider
getting a background check.
Be cautious of individuals who claim it was destiny or
fate that brought you together.
Talk to friends and family members about online rela-
tionships.
Dont send money to someone you meet online, even if
you have developed a relationship.
Be very skeptical of requests to send money via wire
transfer or prepaid money cards. These are preferred payment
methods for scammers.
Consumers who suspect a scam should contact the Ohio
Attorney Generals Ofce at 800-282-0515 or www.OhioAt-
torneyGeneral.gov.

Ohio Farm Bureau AGGPAC names
Kasich Friend of Agriculture
COLUMBUS Gov. John Kasich has been named a Friend
of Agriculture by Ohio Farm Bureau Federations Agriculture
for Good Government Political Action Committee (AGGPAC).
Friend of Agriculture is an ofcial designation that iden-
ties elected ofcials who have supported the public policy
goals of Farm Bureau.
Throughout his rst three and a half years in
ofce, Governor Kasich has clearly demonstrated
his appreciation of the importance of agriculture to
Ohios economy and quality of life, said John C.
(Jack) Fisher, Ohio Farm Bureaus executive vice
president and treasurer of AGGPAC. He has stead-
fastly supported policies that are good for Ohios
largest industry.
In deciding to designate Kasich a Friend of Ag-
riculture, the farmer-leaders of the committee cited
several specic actions by Kasich that are extreme-
ly helpful to Ohios farm community.
Kasich was instrumental in helping Farm Bureau
attain its long-term goal of repealing Ohios estate
tax. Prior to its repeal, the death tax often forced
families to sell land or equipment to meet the tax burden upon
the death of their parents, a situation that hindered the ability
to keep farms viable for future generations. Kasich, with the
cooperation of the General Assembly, recognized the punitive
nature of this tax and took the steps necessary to end it.
Other farm friendly tax reforms initiated by Governor Ka-
sich include a reduction in income tax rates and the introduc-
tion of the small business income tax deduction.
These tax changes will help keep farms and agriculturally
related business on solid nancial footing, allowing them to
expand, add jobs and put more money back into their commu-
nities, Fisher said.
AGGPAC leaders noted the importance of the governors
support for the Current Agricultural Use Valuation program,
which taxes farm property at its value as farmground rather
than for its development value, a system that is cru-
cial to keeping farming viable in Ohio.
The governors attention to the food manufac-
turing and processing industry was also recognized
by AGGPAC, including his support of a new Daisy
Brand dairy plant in Wooster and a new White Cas-
tle facility in Vandalia, evidence of Kasichs com-
mitment to Ohios food economy.
Most recently, Kasich cooperated with farmers
and environmental organizations to pass legislation
to reduce nutrient runoff from farm elds. The gov-
ernor also took a comprehensive approach to help-
ing the city of Toledo with its water challenges by
funding farm conservation efforts, city water infra-
structure improvements and research.
AGGPAC also acknowledged Kasichs personal
attention to Farm Bureau members.
The governor has come to Farm Bureaus board meetings.
Hes been to two of our state annual conventions, even taking
questions from delegates during our business session. He re-
cently hosted a large group of farm leaders and has gone to our
members farms to hear about our concerns and issues. Hes
made himself accessible to our members, and they appreciate
it, Fisher said.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS
A DHI Media publication Saturday, August 23 & Sunday, August 24, 2014 A5
BY KIRK DOUGAL
DHI Media Group Publisher
kdougal@timesbulletin.com
A lush set of islands in the Pacic
Ocean, Hawaii stands alone as the
only U.S. state not attached to the
mainland.
By the time British explorer James
Cook became the rst documented
European to discover the islands in
1778, archaeological evidence shows
Hawaii had been occupied for nearly
1,500 years. Cook originally called
the chain the Sandwich Islands, la-
beling them this because of eco-
nomic sponsor, John Montagu, the
Fourth Earl of Sandwich.
Visitors and whalers soon ocked
to the islands. Because of the intro-
duction of European diseases that
Hawaiians had not built up resistance
to, such as inuenza, and constant
battling between tribal chiefs, the
native population dwindled greatly
in the 18th and 19th centuries. In the
1850s alone, nearly 20 percent of the
people on the islands died.
King Kamehameha the Great
consolidated the political rule of the
islands and his dynasty held control
until 1872 when King Kamehameha
V died without naming an heir. The
winner of the popular election also
died within a year without establish-
ing a successor. Tensions ruled the
political scene for the next decade
with American and British forces
being called in to help maintain the
peace. The rst step toward joining
the U.S. came in 1898 when Presi-
dent McKinley opened the discus-
sions on annexation of Hawaii as a
territory with the islands retaining
self-rule.
Following World War II, a new
wave of favoritism towards the U.S.
swept the islands. All adults born on
the island after the annexation were
American citizens. Coupled with the
shared pain and destruction at the
hands of the Japanese during the war
and the rise of the plantation work-
ers to middle class, the hold by the
plantation owners and island royalty
was broken and the general popula-
tion pushed for statehood, nally ap-
proving the measure by a nearly 95
percent rate.
While the Hawaiian people had
easily approved statehood, mov-
ing the legislation through the U.S.
Congress proved much tougher.
Different bills passed the House
of Representatives on multiple oc-
casions but the Senate became the
sticking point. A block of Senators
from southern states opposed the ad-
dition. While they had acquiesced
fairly quickly on Alaska, mainly be-
cause of the great wealth of all the
natural resources of the state, they
did not see the benet for them with
Hawaii. They complained that add-
ing the congressman and two sena-
tors would further erode the voting
power of their states.
Here now is a 55th anniversary
reprint of the Van Wert Times-Bul-
letin article detailing the addition of
Hawaii as a state on August 21, 1959.
Long-time territory becomes the 50th American state in 1959
Washington, Aug. 21 (AP) -
Hawaii was ofcially proclaimed
as the ftieth state of the United
States today by President Eisen-
hower at bipartisan White House
ceremonies.
The Presidential action was fol-
lowed immediately by the unfurl-
ing of a new fty-star ag, which
will not become ofcial until
next July 4. The thirteen alternate
red and white stripes remain un-
changed, but the stars on a eld of
blue are arranged in nine alternate
staggered rows of six and ve stars
each.
The President welcomed new
state along with Alaska, admitted
earlier this year. Not since 1912,
when Arizona and New Mexico
were added to the Union, had any
states been admitted.
The White House ceremony to-
day was but a formality noting the
Hawaiian citizens had voted to ac-
cept the obligations of statehood
and had held elections to choose
their ofcers.
The ceremony had a bipartisan
character because a Democratic
Congress had voted to carry out a
Republican Presidents recommen-
dation in authorizing statehood for
Hawaii.
The President sat at the long
Cabinet table, anked by Vice
President Richard M. Nixon on his
right and the House Speaker, Sam
Rayburn of Texas, on his left. Be-
hind them stood representatives of
Hawaii, including one of her Sen-
ators-elect, Oren E. Long, 70-year-
old Democrat, and the House mem-
ber-elect, Representative Daniel K.
Inouye, 34-year-old Democrat and
war hero.
The other Senator-elect, Hiram
Fong, a Republican, remained in
Hawaii, as did Gov. William F.
Quinn. The Senators will be seated
on Monday after they have drawn
lots to see whether they receive
terms of approximately six years,
four years or two years. The Gover-
nor was sworn in today at ceremo-
nies at Honolulu.
Mr. Inouvye will also take his
seat Monday.
President Eisenhower called
it truly an historic occasion be-
cause for the second time within a
year a new state had been admitted.
All forty-nine states will join
in welcoming the new one - Hawaii
- to this Union, he said. We will
wish for her prosperity, security,
happiness and a growing closer re-
lationship with all the other states.
We know that she is ready to do her
part to make this Union a stronger
nation - a stronger people than it
was before because of her presence
as a full sister to the other forty-
nine states. So all of us say to her,
good luck.
As the President completed his
remarks, Speaker Rayburn leaned
over to chat with him.
Then the President remarked
that he had been reminded by the
Speaker of one fact that has great
historic signicance.
Next Monday will be the rst
time in 158 years there has not been
a delegate in the membership of the
Congress of the United States, he
said.
The delegates are gone and in
their places we have Senators and
Congressmen.
Hawaii and Alaska were repre-
sented by non-voting delegates in
the House of Representatives while
they were territories. Puerto Rico,
as a commonwealth, continues to
have a commissioner, without vote,
in the House.
Among the Hawaiian ofcials
witnessing signature of the procla-
mation were Edward E. Johnston,
former Secretary of the Territory,
and Lorrin P. Thruston, publisher
of The Honolulu Advertiser.

This week in 1989, news
of the good and bad variet-
ies dominated the baseball
world. On the good side, at
the age of 42 Nolan Ryan
struck out Rickey Henderson
on August 22 to become the
only player in Major League
history to strikeout 5,000
batters in a career. On the
bad side, Commissioner Bart
Giamatti banned Pete Rose
for life for betting on base-
ball games. The ruling came
after the release of the Dowd
Report in May of that year.
Lincolnview Superin-
tendent Charles Cooper re-
ported the school would start
as planned after he received

Association, announced the
teaching staff had authorized
the negotiating team to le a
10-day strike notice with the
State Employment Rela-
tions Board as required
by law. They also au-

This week in 1964, stu-
dents in Saigon and other
Vietnamese cities rallied in
noisy protests against the
government, demanding
President Nguyen Khanh
step down and allow a civil-
ian government to take of-
ce. The protests came in the
wake of the deaths of four
American military advisers
and hundreds of Vietnamese
soldiers in a Communist am-
bush south of Saigon. Lead-
ers of the student movement
said the Khanh dictatorship
treated the citizens even
worse than the Ngo Dinh
Diem government.
Oil wells were once again
proposed to be pumping
black gold near Venedocia
as four oil production com-
panies disclosed plans for
drilling operations. Leases
on more than 7,000 acres had
been signed and led, lead-
ing the companies to open
base ofces in Van Wert.
The oil eld returning to use
had last been under produc-
tion 50 years earlier.
Mr. and Mrs. William

This week in 1939, a musi-
cal fantasy originally adapt-
ed from a 1900 childrens
book made its way to the
movie theatres. The Wizard
of Oz opened to great fan-
fare and critical acclaim but
not big box ofces. The most
expensive lm ever produced
by MGM at the time, Oz
barely recouped the cost of
production because of tech-
nological advances such as
technicolor. However, six
Academy Award nomina-
tions started more buzz for
the lm and subsequent re-
leases saw great commercial
success as well.
Twelve Van Wert accor-
dionists traveled to Soldier
Field in Chicago to play in

Years Ago
Clarence Horstman, North
Franklin street, was painfully
injured when an automobile
he was driving collided with
a freight train at Ottawa, Sun-
day night. Two other persons
in the car, Misses Permella
and Norean Bockey, daugh-
ters of Mr. and Mrs. Mathias
Bockey, of southeast of Del-
phos, escaped serious injury.
Mr. Horstman was driving
to Toledo and Miss Permella
Bockey was returning to St.
Vincents hospital at Toledo
where she is a student nurse,
while Miss Norean Bockey
was returning to Perrysburg
where she is employed.
At the north edge of Ot-
tawa, the car, a Peerless se-
dan, struck a train which
had stopped, with the cars so
placed, that a ray of light from
the street lamp shone between
the cars, giving the impression
that the road was clear.
Mr. Horstman did not see
the train until almost upon it
and then swerved to the right.
It struck the train, however,
and was badly wrecked.
Mr. Horstman was severely
bruised and cut about the head
and was rendered unconscious
by the impact. He was suf-
fering from shock Monday
and was in a semi-conscious
condition at the home of his
uncle, Frank Horstman, North
Franklin street, where he
makes his home. He is not be-
lieved to have been seriously
injured.
Miss Norean Bockey sus-
tained a few slight injuries,
while her sister escaped in-
jury.
The three were brought to
Delphos Sunday night by Jos.
Kolkmeyer.

master magician and exposer
of fake psychic phenomena,
had succeeded in sending to
her through a spiritualist me-

before Houdinis death, Oct.
31, 1926, came today from
John Stefford, associate editor
of Scientic American.
In this case, accepting
the good faith of all parties
concerned, because I know

no doubt that communication
was established between a liv-

Someone who shall remain
nameless had a tragic door
knob issue this week and was
trapped in their ofce for a bit.
It was much needed comic re-
lief toward the end of a very
tough week. We were teasing
this individual that we could
slip food under the door and
were brainstorming on how to
provide liquids. At one point,
they announced they had good
news, At least I dont have to
go the bathroom!
Sorry, Ill try not to enjoy
your misfortune quite so much
next time if it happens again.
So that got me thinking
on what I would do if I was
trapped in my ofce. First,
Id also unplug the phone. Ah.
Peace and quiet.
Then Id make a list of all
the things I have been mean-
ing to get to but never quite
accomplish. You know, the
things on the bottom of the
priority list each day or week
that never seem to move.
I love the fast pace and
activity in the newsroom but
sometimes it prohibits a good
work ow. I get entangled in
all the little details and have
to struggle to keep up with the
big picture. A few hours of un-
interrupted work time would
be wonderful.
So here I am all by myself
with no phone to bother me and
Im getting all kinds of stuff ac-
complished. I can hear some-
one outside the door and soon
my respite will be over. Back to
reality and all the little blips in
my day that put me behind.
Since I have become an
adult, I have often lamented
the fact that I hated to be
grounded. Wouldnt it be won-
derful to be grounded now? I
would have to stay in my room
with no computer, tablet,
phone or television. Hmmm.
What would I do?
The rst thing is take a nap.
I have missed my naps. I have
found myself plotting a small
siesta almost from the time I
get up on Saturdays and it has
yet to come to fruition. I get
busy with tasks that need done
and then the next thing I know
my husband is home and its
time to complete the weekly
grocery shopping and then its
dinner and soon its time for
bed and a little late for a nap
so I might as well just stick it
out. A vicious weekly cycle.
HAND/A7
I remember talking to a
lady long ago who had seen a
lot during her long live. When
she was born, a little inven-
tion called the automobile
was starting to appear on the
pitted and grooved dirt roads.
Communication was all done
through the United States Post
Ofce Department. Well, that
and yelling out the back door
that supper was ready. Rela-
tionships between the sexes
were more formal and out-
wardly innocent. Entertain-
ment was in the nickelodeon,
then the theaters, then radio,
then television.
Music was performed live
or eventually from a record
on a Victrola. News was only
available in the newspaper.
Then over the years, things
changed in mostly every facet
of life. When she was born,
cars were in their infancy.
When she died, man had
walked on the moon. It was a
great change in the span of a
lifetime.
But lets look at the changes
weve seen recently. Over the
past half a century or so, think
of the changes weve seen.
I remember watching thick,
black billows of smoke roll
from the smokestacks of fac-
tories. Now, the government
would have a factory like that
closed down in a heartbeat.
When I was a kid, a ciga-
rette vending machine was
commonplace. So were pay
phones at ten cents a call. Tat-
toos were only seen on the
arms of retired servicemen.
Eating out at a restaurant was
a special treat, not a drive
through the line to pay and get
food shoved out the window to
you.
Radio had gone from net-
work entertainment to musi-
cal entertainment. Music even
played on AM radio, after all,
there wasnt much of anything
on FM radio. Today, they talk
all the time on AM and mu-
sic is on FM, except for those
who listen to radio from a
satellite that covers the whole
country and doesnt fade out
under bridges or get full of
static during a summer thun-
derstorm.
Speaking of weather, have
you noticed that forecasts are
more accurate these days?
Sure, theyre not perfect, but
they are predicting the future
with a much higher accuracy
rate thanks to all the progress
in technology and the addi-
tional knowledge from study-
ing years of data have paid off.
Its really rare that the meteo-
rologist will call for an 85-de-
gree day and you will swear
you see snow urries. Dont
laugh, it happened to me when
I was a kid.
But lets face it, the chang-
es are coming even more fast
and furious now. Remember
popping popcorn over a burn-
er on the stove? The Jiffy Pop
foil stretched into an alumi-
num foil chefs hat and then it
was time to eat. When I was
in college, everyone had a hot
air popper that blew popped
kernels through some melted
butter and into a bowl. These
days, you throw a bag into the
microwave oven and add salt.
That microwave is used for
nearly everything from bak-
ing potatoes to heating that
cup of coffee for breakfast.
Then theres the computer.
I shouldnt have to talk to
convince you thats the big-
gest change of all. What, dont
believe me? What time is it?
Now, did you look at your
wristwatch or a clock on the
wall? No, you looked at that
little pocket computer that has
a telephone jammed inside it.
You think your grandpar-
ents would have understood
that a phone can tell time?
For that matter, do you re-
ally think your grandparents
would have believed you if
you had told them that with-
out a major drought, real life
people would pay a buck and
a half for a bottle of water?
They would have smacked you
up side the head with a stick!
Crazy kid, anyway
I believe during my half
century-plus on this planet
Ive seen more change than
any other generation. What
truly convinced me of that is
moving my sons into a house
about a mile from their col-
lege campus. One of the perks
for me moving off campus
was getting cable television
instead of using aluminum
foil wrapped around the sets
rabbit ears.

When is breaking the law not breaking the law?
When the Obama administration says it is not - no matter
what anyone else rules.
On Thursday, the General Accounting Ofce, a non-parti-
san agency, said the Pentagon broke the law twice during its
trade earlier this year for the return of Army Sgt. Bowe Berg-
dahl.
For those who have forgotten the story, on June 30, 2009,
Sgt. Bergdahl reportedly left his base in Afghanistan without
his weapon and was promptly taken prisoner by the Taliban.
An ongoing investigation is attempting to decide if he was de-
serting at that time and later aided the Taliban forces.
After several attempts and years of trying, the Obama ad-
ministration brokered a deal with the kidnappers to exchange
ve Taliban leaders held captive at the prison at Guantanamo
and nearly $1 million for the soldier.
The GAO report stated the trade, as it transpired, was
against the law.
In our view, the meaning of the law is clear and unambigu-
ous, said the report. In our view the Department of Defense
dismissed the signicance of the express language.
At its core, the GAO said the law was broken on two fronts:
1) The proper 30-day notice was not given to congressional
leaders of the trade. Notice began after the trade had been con-
summated.
2) The money transfer broke the law by using funds to trans-
fer detainees from Guatanamo Bay to foreign control.
When confronted with the report, DOD ofcials said they
believed the trade for Bergdahl was legal and the Department
of Justice conrmed the decision.
We believe the Department of Defense and the Obama ad-
ministration were correct in attempting every avenue to return
a soldier to the U.S. We believe that responsibility is part of the
governments pact with every man and woman who puts on a
U.S. armed forces uniform.
Further, we believe the 30-day notication period is ridicu-
lously long when dealing with the terrorist forces around the
world today. Information and knowledge travels too fast for
that long a period of time.
However, we also believe laws are put in place for a reason
- either to protect U.S. citizens or to protect the interests of the
country.
In this case, we believe the Obama administration could
have taken a few minutes to contact members of the intelli-
gence oversight committees, explain the time constraint they
were under, and then completed the trade. That attempt would
have at least answered the intent of the law. It would be hard to
understand any elected ofcial vigorously attacking the deci-
sion if the effort had been made.
Instead, the Obama administration decided the ends justi-
ed the means and the laws be damned. With the transfer of
the funds, our leaders also told the world we are a country who
abides by the rule of law - until the laws are inconvenient and
then we are just as willing to break them as any third world,
banana republic government.
Unfortunately, breaking laws that are in the way appears to
be the pattern with the current U.S. leadership.
We are happy a U.S. soldier has been returned home safely
from enemy control. We also hope the investigation is con-
cluded so we can understand what happened during Bergdahls
capture.
We just wish the Obama administration had at least attempt-
ed to perform the trade legally.

Theres more to be celebrated on Labor Day
weekend than the last blast of summer and the
coming of another beautiful autumn.
Its time to celebrate working folksnot
just the ones who own or manage businesses,
but the ones who work for them.
Even Labor Day is a busy workday for
those who bag groceries, work in restaurant
kitchens, checkout customers at retail stores,
bus tables, haul garbage, patrol our streets and
highways and defend our country.
They are the front line workers who take
our abuse when we dont like their bosses
policies or when the equipment malfunctions.
They are the ones who often work combina-
tions of jobs to make the rent or pay tuition or
keep the kids in sneakers and braces.
They are the ones who show up even when
they dont feel well, the ones who stay as long
as it takes to get the job done. Many will start
counting the days this Labor Day until theyre
laid off for the season.
I like to say there is honor in all work, no
matter what kind of work it is. As we pause
this weekend to celebrate Labor Day, I am re-
minded of the following thoughts:
If you put your garbage at the curb this
morning and it is still there when you get home
from work tonight, Im betting youll be pretty
upset.
If you go to the grocery store this evening
and the shelves arent full and no ones around
to check you out, Im fairly certain youll be
angry.
If your car breaks down several miles from
town and you cant get anyone to come out to
x it or tow it to a garage, youll probably blow
your top, especially when it starts to rain on
you while you walk home.
You probably wouldnt want the job of pick-
ing up other peoples garbage, stocking gro-
cery shelves or xing todays high-tech cars.
And you really dont want any of those choices
as a career.
Why? Because they are not very glamor-
ous or exciting jobs. Or so we think. The pay
might not be very good, the working condi-
tions arent ideal and the work itself tends to
be monotonous. Unless you take pride in your
work.
The people who do those jobs are rarely
called heroes or heroines. But they can be vil-
lains when they dont do the work on time, or
when we want it done, or as well as we want it
done. Our economy works only because there
are people willing to do the thankless jobs.
Chances are, parents dont dream at night
that their sons and daughters will grow up one
day to be the local garbage collector, the stock
boy or the neighborhood laborer.
Instead, we dream they will grow up to be
doctors, engineers, lawyers, accountants, min-
isters, entertainers or even professional sports
stars.
There is honor in all work. We may have
many jobs over a lifetime. We may not have
liked some of those jobs, but they taught us
something. It might have been an appreciation
for those who do that type of work.
We are products of our environment and
our experiences. As we celebrate Labor Day
this weekend, lets remember that all work is
honorable.

As a new school year starts, tens of thou-
sands of teachers begin with motivation and
great expectations. Heres one story.
On the rst day of school, a teacher was
glancing over the roll when she noticed a num-
ber after each students name, such as 113, 130
or 138.
Wow! Look at those IQs, she said to
herself. What a terric class. The teacher
promptly determined to work harder with this
class than with any other she ever had.
Throughout the year, she came up with
innovative lessons and assignments that she
thought would challenge the students, because
she didnt want them to get bored with work
that was too easy.
Her plan worked! The class outperformed
all the other classes she taught in the usual
way.
Then, during the last quarter of the year,
she discovered what those numbers after the
students name really were: their locker num-
bers.
BY CONGRESSMAN
BOB LATTA
While trouble abroad has
typically led to greater pain
at the pump, Americans have
experienced relatively stable
gas prices over the past few
months despite foreign cri-
ses. With the national aver-
age price for regular gasoline
down more than 10 cents from
last month, todays fuel prices
are both a contradiction of the
past four decades trends and
an example of the benets that
can result from increased do-
mestic energy production.
American innovation in
advanced energy development
technologies has unleashed an
abundance of domestic energy
resources. In 2013, U.S. ener-
gy production rose more than
the combined increases in the
rest of the world to reach its
highest level in 24 years. This
is why the United States is
now the number one producer
of both oil and natural gas in
the world.
This energy renaissance is
not only strengthening North
American energy security as
domestic resources replace
imports from hostile envi-
ronments in Middle Eastern
countries, but it is also fueling
expansive job growth through-
out the energy industry. While
the energy industry supports
nearly 10 million American
jobs today, that number is ex-
pected to grow by 3 million by
2020. For Ohios Fifth Con-
gressional District, this ener-
gy renaissance has already in-
creased local businesss global
competiveness, resulting in
expanded operations and new
jobs at home.
While President Obama
likes to take credit for this
positive growth, the energy
boom has occurred despite
his many efforts to suppress
expanded development and
innovation. His administra-
tive agencies have put forward
costly regulations intended to
diminish energy exploration
on federal lands and created
unnecessary obstacles for de-
veloping critical energy infra-
structure.
Over the past ve years,
almost all of the U.S. energy
growth has occurred on state
and privately owned lands. In
fact, U.S. crude oil production
has decreased by 6 percent
on federal lands, while pro-
duction on state and privately
owned lands has increased
by 61 percent. Jobs boosting
projects, like the Keystone XL
Pipeline, are continually sub-
ject to a barrage of unjustied
delays. In addition, even with
plans to allow for seismic test-
ing in the Atlantic, the Presi-
dent continues to block 85
percent of U.S. offshore areas
from energy development op-
portunities.
While energy manufactur-
ers, producers and end users
have just begun to feel the
benets of the energy renais-
sance, these benets would be
much greater if the President
moved away from his anti-de-
velopment agenda and toward
a pro-growth energy policy
where the United States could
take better advantage of our
vast energy resources. Unfor-
tunately, the Administration
has yet to embrace our new
energy landscape and con-
tinues to push an agenda rife
with market-distorting princi-
pals and bureaucratic red tape.
These actions undermine
energy employment potential
and guarantee a continued
dependence on oil from hos-
tile, foreign regions. They also
guarantee that while energy
prices have remained stable,
they will also remain high.
To address this, the U.S.
House of Representatives re-
cently passed three important
pieces of legislation that lay the
groundwork for a national en-
ergy strategy that would help
the United States take better
advantage of its abundant, do-
mestic energy resources, pro-
mote North American energy
independence, curb gas prices
and create jobs.
First, H.R. 4899, the Low-
ering Gasoline Prices to Fuel
an America that Works Act,
would allow the United States
to responsibly expand pro-
duction of its own energy re-
sources.
In addition, H.R. 6, the Do-
mestic Prosperity & Global
Freedom Act, would bring
certainty to the U.S. Depart-
ment of Energys liqueed
natural gas (LNG) export ap-
proval process, increasing
natural gas production and
setting a timeframe by which
the agency must act on an ap-
plication to export LNG to our
allies. It is also estimated that
the legislation will bring more
than 30,000 jobs to Ohio by
2035.
Finally, H.R. 3301, the
North American Energy In-
frastructure Act, would help
build the energy infrastruc-
ture needed to fully enhance
our domestic production,
transport and use.
In addition to the passage
of these three bills, I have
also introduced H.R. 3033,
the Energy Security and Em-
ployment Act, to immediately
curb increased gas prices and
create downward pressure on
the cost of oil by allowing
America to take advantage of
its vast domestic oil resources,
spurring job growth and en-
ergy investments.
Together, this legislation
will foster an all-of-the-above
energy strategy that will make
energy more affordable, bol-
ster our energy security and
create American jobs. Now is
the time to take advantage of
our energy resources and un-
leash our energy potential by
establishing the United States
as a global energy leader
locking in domestic prosperity
for our nation and Ohio.

MAKE THE
DIFFERENCE
Yes, there is honor in all work
BY OHIO STATE SENATOR
CLIFF HITE
Mid-August marks the time when
many of our high school graduates
pack up and head off to college for
the rst time. This time of year is al-
ways accompanied by packing lists
and to-do lists. One item our stu-
dents should be sure not to forget:
their meningitis vaccination.
People of any age can get menin-
gitis, but those most at risk include
very young children, adolescents
and, especially, those living in close
quarters like college dormitories.
The federal Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) rec-
ommend the meningococcal vaccine
for everyone aged 11 to 18 years old.
Those who are headed off to college
should have a booster shot if their
original dose was given at least ve
years earlier.
Current state law requires stu-
dents in on-campus housing at pub-
lic universities to tell administrators
whether they have been vaccinated
for meningitis. There is currently no
legal mandate in Ohio that college
students be vaccinated, though some
other states have taken that step. In
recent years, there have been several
cases of meningitis at Ohio colleges,
some fatal. Nationally, about 100
cases of meningitis occur on cam-
puses each year. To protect students,
some colleges require proof of vac-
cination as a condition of enrollment.
Meningitis is an extremely per-
sonal topic for my family. My ve-
year-old niece Tess passed away
from this disease, leading me to
sponsor Senate Bill 275 to create
Meningitis Awareness Day each year
on March 9. Because meningitis is
relatively rare, parents and students
may be unaware just how deadly it
can be, and unaware that it is pre-
ventable with vaccination. Meningi-
tis Awareness Day is one step toward
helping ensure that other families
will not know the devastation of los-
ing a child to meningitis.
Bacterial meningitis, the most se-
rious form, can cause inammation
of the lining of the brain and spinal
cord, a blood infection, or both. The
disease can be difcult to diagnose
because symptoms like headache,
fever and nausea can be similar to
those of more common conditions
like the u. But meningitis becomes
serious very quickly, and can kill
within 48 hours.
Up to 15 percent of those who get
meningitis will die, and of those who
survive, one in ve will have lasting
effects like brain damage, hearing
loss, or limb amputation. I believe
Meningitis Awareness Day is impor-
tant because there is a lot of misin-
formation spread about vaccines.
Whether it comes from the in-
ternet or a misguided celebrity, this
spreads confusion and fear about
the potential side effects of vaccina-
tion. Im here to tell you the effects
of meningitis are absolutely devas-
tating, while preventing this deadly
disease is as easy as getting a shot.
Lives can be saved by raising aware-
ness about the severity of meningitis
and increasing the vaccination rate
for this terrible disease.
When Governor John Kasich
signed Senate Bill 275 into law, he
turned to me and said, We can do
more, cant we? I assured him we
could, and that Im committed to do-
ing so. I will be seeking the advice of
public health experts and others as I
personally learn more about menin-
gitis and what can be done to prevent
it.
I recently read that, according to
Dr. Michael Brady, chair of the de-
partment of pediatrics at Columbus
Nationwide Childrens Hospital,
children too young to receive the
meningococcal vaccine can be pro-
tected against meningitis by the Hae-
mophilus inuenzae type b vaccine.
This is just one example of the type
of information we need to put in the
hands of parents to help them make
informed choices about their childs
healthcare.
I thank my colleagues in the Gen-
eral Assembly for supporting Sen-
ate Bill 275 and making Meningitis
Awareness Day a reality. Now as my
family remembers Tess each year
on March 9, we will also know that
there is indeed something we can do
to help keep other children safe and
healthy.
To help honor Tess memory, I
encourage all of our college students
to get vaccinated before heading off
to school this year. Help us all stop
another avoidable tragedy by taking
the time to get knowledgeable about
this disease.

GUEST COLUMN
(From page A6)
If you remember in one of
my past columns, I explored
the benets of naps and found
a comparison on the length
and their outcomes. How I
long for that 90-minute nap
that can be so benecial to my
piece of mind and at times,
others safety. That has been
just a fond memory of late.
Go, go, go.
I have been so busy I have a
brand new sweeper and steam
mop that all Ive had time to do
is the assembly required and
little else. And yes, it shows.
Dont look too closely in the
corners or anywhere else for
that matter. If you came to see
what kind of housekeeper I
am, you could have sent a text
or email. Really.
I am also behind on laun-
dry. Its been two weeks and
Im ofcially hitting critical in
the undergarment department.
Im hoping to start on that rst
thing today and plan on set-
ting a timer so I can stay on it.
Perhaps someone could
lock me in the house this
weekend so I can get more
accomplished. Every room
needs a little something and
most need more. Many need a
complete overhaul. I just need
to nd the time and gumption
to come together.
Oh, well. I think theyve got
the small door problem gures
out. Time to join the rest of the
world. Now if I could just re-
member how I locked myself
in here.

My boys called what I thought was the
cable company, but they didnt want cable
TV. They simply wanted an Internet con-
nection. Anything we might want to see
on TV, they watch on the Internet. Time
marches on.
Today, a phone book was delivered to
my office. While years back I would have
been grateful for an updated version of the
telephone directory, today, I told them to
take it on down the hall or just throw it
away. If I need a business phone number,
Ill look them up on the Internet. Besides,
so many private citizens, like myself, have
disconnected the land line anyway and the
cell numbers arent in a phone book.
See how much change weve lived
through? And often times we dont even re-
alize what groundbreakers we are. We are
at the dawn of many life changes some
good, some bad. We have seen advances
that our grandparents never dreamed of.
But we still dont all drive jetpacks.
Why not? This is the future! They told us
wed all have jet packs, not cars you have
to plug in at night.
Living at the vanguard of history isnt
always what it was supposed to be cracked
up to be.

BANGKOK (AP) Interpol said it has
launched a multinational investigation into what
Thailand has dubbed the Baby Factory case:
a 24-year-old Japanese businessman who has 16
surrogate babies and an alleged desire to father
hundreds more.
Police raided a Bangkok condominium ear-
lier this month and found nine babies and nine
nannies living in a few unfurnished rooms lled
with baby bottles, bouncy chairs, play pens and
diapers. They have since identied Mitsutoki
Shigeta as the father of those babies and seven
others.
What I can tell you so far is that Ive never
seen a case like this, Thailands Interpol direc-
tor, police Maj. Gen. Apichart Suribunya, said
Friday. We are trying to understand what kind
of person makes this many babies.
Apichart said that regional Interpol ofces
in Japan, Cambodia, Hong Kong and India have
been asked to probe Shigetas background, be-
ginning last week. Police say he appears to have
registered businesses or apartments in those
countries and has frequently traveled there.
We are looking into two motives. One is hu-
man trafcking and the other is exploitation of
children, said police Lt. Gen. Kokiat Wongvo-
rachart, Thailands lead investigator in the case.

CHILMARK, Mass. (AP) President Barack Obama
has spent less time away from the White House than his
predecessors. But his two-week break on the resort island of
Marthas Vineyard and hours on the golf course have his de-
tractors teeing up as they highlight the slew of foreign policy
crises currently facing the United States.
The criticism has the presidents aides confronting a ques-
tion it faces whenever Obama gets away: Is there ever a good
time for the commander in chief to take a few days off?
Since becoming president, Obama has taken 20 vacations
lasting two to 15 days. As of Friday, he has spent all or part
of 138 days on vacation.
By the same point in his second term, President George
W. Bush spent 381 partial or complete days at his ranch in
Crawford, Texas, and another 26 at the Bush family com-
pound in Kennebunkport, Maine, according to CBS News
reporter Mark Knollers widely respected record keeping
on the presidency. Other recent American leaders also spent
more time away.
But images of Obama playing leisurely rounds of golf
as the U.S. strikes Islamist militants in northern Iraq
have been jarring to some, particularly his ercest na-
tional security critics. After delivering an angry statement
Wednesday condemning the beheading of American jour-
nalist James Foley by the Islamic State group, Obama im-
mediately hit the links.
Every day, we nd new evidence that hed rather be on
the golf course than he would be dealing with the crisis thats
developing rapidly in the Middle East, former Vice Presi-
dent Dick Cheney told Fox News this week.
Obama, well known for his love of golf, has played eight
rounds since arriving on the Massachusetts island 12 days
ago. He went golng last week after addressing the nation
from the yard of his vacation home on Iraq and the civil un-
rest in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Missouri, linked to
the fatal shooting of a black 18-year-old by a white police
ofcer.
He plays most weekends when he is at the White House,
joining many of his predecessors who also enjoyed the game.
Some of the negative reaction reects that the White
House occasionally allows media to photograph the presi-
dent when he is playing golf. By contrast, there are no photos
of him playing basketball or during his regular gym workout.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip
(AP) Gaza militants Friday
gunned down 18 alleged spies
for Israel in an apparent attempt
to plug security breaches and
deter others, a day after Israel
killed three top Hamas military
commanders in an airstrike
likely guided by collaborators.
In one incident, masked
gunmen lined up seven men,
their heads covered by bags,
along a wall outside a Gaza
City mosque and shot them to
death in front of hundreds of
people, witnesses said. A note
pinned on the wall said they
had leaked information about
the location of tunnels, homes
of ghters and rockets that were
later struck by Israel.
In Israel, a 4-year-old boy
was killed when a mortar shell
hit two cars in the parking lot
of Nahal Oz, a small farming
community near Gaza. Five Is-
raelis were hurt, one seriously,
in several rocket strikes, the
military said. One rocket dam-
aged a synagogue.
The childs death was bound
to raise pressure on Prime Min-
ister Benjamin Netanyahu from
an increasingly impatient pub-
lic to put an end to rocket and
mortar re from Gaza some-
thing Israels military has been
unable to do after 46 days of
ghting with Hamas.

LUHANSK, Ukraine (AP)
Tensions between Russia
and Ukraine escalated sharp-
ly on Friday as Moscow sent
more than 130 trucks rolling
across the border in what it
said was a mission to deliver
humanitarian aid. Ukraine
called it a direct invasion,
and the U.S. and NATO con-
demned it as well.
In another ominous turn
in the crisis, NATO said it
has mounting evidence that
Russian troops are operating
inside Ukraine and launch-
ing artillery attacks from
Ukrainian soil signicant-
ly deeper involvement in the
ghting than the West has pre-
viously alleged.
The trucks, part of a con-
voy of 260 vehicles, entered
Ukraine without government
permission after being held up
at the border for a week amid
fears that the mission was a
Kremlin ploy to help the pro-
Russian separatists in eastern
Ukraine.
By late afternoon, trucks had
reached the city of Luhansk,
whose war-reduced population
of a quarter-million people has
suffered under intense ghting
over the past several weeks be-
tween Ukrainian forces and the
separatists.

NEW YORK (AP) Ofcially, the
FBI agents who swarmed Donald Ray
Morgan at Kennedy Airport this month
were there to arrest him on a mundane
gun charge. But they whisked him away
to their Manhattan ofce and grilled him
for two hours on an entirely different top-
ic: Islamic State extremists.
Over and over, they asked Morgan,
a 44-year-old North Carolina man, con-
verted Muslim and author of pro-extrem-
ist tweets, whether he had traveled to
Syria to support the militant group. More
important, they wanted know whether
he could identify any ghters with U.S.
ties who had left the region to return to
America.
The questioning, recounted in a recent
court hearing, offered a glimpse into U.S.
law enforcements intensifying efforts to
identify Islamic State sympathizers who
could help export the groups brand of
violent jihad to the United States.
They come amid a new barrage of
U.S. airstrikes against the Islamic State
group that beheaded American journal-
ist James Foley. The group called Fol-
eys killing revenge for previous strikes
against militants in Iraq.
Federal and New York Police Depart-
ment ofcials have estimated that at least
100 Americans could be ghting with
the Sunni extremists who have seized
territory in northern and western Iraq.
In April, a Colorado woman and convert
to Islam was arrested before she could
travel to Syria to marry a ghter she had
met online.
More recently, a Texas man who was
arrested trying to board a ight to Turkey
pleaded guilty to terror charges alleging
he wanted to join the group.
In a Pentagon news conference, Joint
Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey
called the Islamic State an immediate
threat, in part because of the number of
Europeans and other foreigners who have
traveled to the region to join the group.

humanitarian aid. Ukraine
called it a direct invasion,
and the U.S. and NATO con-
demned it as well.
In another ominous turn
in the crisis, NATO said it
has mounting evidence that
Russian troops are operating
inside Ukraine and launch-
ing artillery attacks from
Ukrainian soil signicant-
ly deeper involvement in the
ghting than the West has pre-
viously alleged.
The trucks, part of a con-
voy of 260 vehicles, entered
Ukraine without government
permission after being held up
at the border for a week amid
fears that the mission was a
Kremlin ploy to help the pro-
Russian separatists in eastern
Ukraine.
By late afternoon, trucks had
reached the city of Luhansk,
whose war-reduced population
of a quarter-million people has
suffered under intense ghting
over the past several weeks be-
tween Ukrainian forces and the
separatists.

NEW YORK (AP) Ofcially, the
FBI agents who swarmed Donald Ray
Morgan at Kennedy Airport this month
were there to arrest him on a mundane
gun charge. But they whisked him away
to their Manhattan ofce and grilled him
for two hours on an entirely different top-
ic: Islamic State extremists.
Over and over, they asked Morgan,
a 44-year-old North Carolina man, con-
verted Muslim and author of pro-extrem-
ist tweets, whether he had traveled to
Syria to support the militant group. More
important, they wanted know whether
he could identify any ghters with U.S.
ties who had left the region to return to
America.
The questioning, recounted in a recent
court hearing, offered a glimpse into U.S.
law enforcements intensifying efforts to
identify Islamic State sympathizers who
could help export the groups brand of
violent jihad to the United States.
They come amid a new barrage of
U.S. airstrikes against the Islamic State
group that beheaded American journal-
ist James Foley. The group called Fol-
eys killing revenge for previous strikes
against militants in Iraq.
Federal and New York Police Depart-
ment ofcials have estimated that at least
100 Americans could be ghting with
the Sunni extremists who have seized
territory in northern and western Iraq.
In April, a Colorado woman and convert
to Islam was arrested before she could
travel to Syria to marry a ghter she had
met online.
More recently, a Texas man who was
arrested trying to board a ight to Turkey
pleaded guilty to terror charges alleging
he wanted to join the group.
In a Pentagon news conference, Joint
Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey
called the Islamic State an immediate
threat, in part because of the number of
Europeans and other foreigners who have
traveled to the region to join the group.

Dear Readers: Many of you
have plants in your home or at
work. They look beautiful,
plus they freshen the air and
provide some green to bright-
en a day! But if you have pets,
some plants can be trouble
and even fatal! Here is a very
short list of plants that can be
toxic to dogs and cats:
* Dieffenbachia I have
several (also known as Dumb
Cane!), and I love the plants
because they are easy to care
for. But they can cause vom-
iting and drooling. So if your
pet shows some of these signs
(and for the following plants),
take a good look at the plant to
determine if thats the cause.
* Azalea Contains gray-
anotoxins, which can cause
vomiting, diarrhea, drooling,
possible coma and even death.
* Lilies I have several,
and I call my type prayer lily
plants, but there are many va-
rieties that are extremely toxic
to cats and even cause kidney
failure!
* Kalanchoe Again,
many varieties; I call mine a
Christmas cactus. It can cause
some tummy problems, and
can even affect the heart!
These are just a few of the
plants that can be toxic to ani-
mals. To see a longer list, visit
the American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Ani-
mals website, www.ASPCA.
org. If you have pets, please
take a look around and check
out the plants that you have.
If you see your pet ingesting
these or any other plants, con-
tact your veterinarian ASAP!
Our pets love us and need us
to take care of them! He-

Dear Heloise: With a small

Dear Readers: When

EASY CAT CLEANUP!
Dear Heloise: As cats get
older, they tend to vomit. My
two cats slept and loitered on

on top. When a cat would
vomit, I pulled the sheet off
and washed it. Diane J.,

Perilous plants
DEAR ABBY: I am a
12-year-old girl, and my
grandpa is 75. I love him very
much, but I have noticed late-
ly that he stares at womens
breasts when they are jogging,
and he smiles when a gust of
wind blows a girls skirt up.
This embarrasses me, and I
am embarrassed for him. He
must have realized it by now.
Is my grandpa a creepy, dirty
old man? I hope its not true.
Please answer this in the news-
paper because I dont want my
family to see it. CARRIE
IN CLEVELAND
DEAR CARRIE: Im sorry,
but the fact that your grandfa-
ther would be so unsubtle as to
act this way when youre with
him IS creepy, and Im sure it
is embarrassing. Tell your par-
ents about it so your mother
or father can tell him to tone
down his enthusiasm. And
if it doesnt happen, spend less
time with Grandpa.

DEAR ABBY: My ancee,
Caitlyn, and I are in our 40s
and have been living together
for a year. My family has invit-
ed us to go on a cruise for New
Years, all expenses paid. Be-
cause Caitlyn cant get time off
from her job at the hospital, she
doesnt want me to go, either.
Also, in the fall I will be
traveling to Europe with my
dad to visit relatives. (Hes 80.)
These trips dont happen all
the time; its an unusual year.
Should I refuse the cruise and
miss out on being with my
extended family to stay home
with her while she works? I
think Caitlyns being selsh to
expect me to. We spend all our
free time together. We have
been to Las Vegas and on a
cruise recently. Please advise.
HELD BACK IN OHIO
DEAR HELD BACK:
You and Caitlyn are adults in
your 40s. At that age, Caitlyn
should be independent enough
to tell you to go and have a
good time with your family.
And you should be mature
enough to discuss this with
her without involving me.

DEAR ABBY: My sister
loaned me her car when she
went out of town so I could
drop her at the airport and
pick her up. (I dont have a car
of my own, but share one with
my husband.) While I was
driving her car, one of the tires
blew. She says I should pay for
the replacement tire because
I was driving the car on an
errand that was unrelated to
picking her up when the tire
blew. I disagree. Who is right?
JENNIFER IN FLORIDA
DEAR JENNIFER: If the
agreement between you and
your sister was that her car
was to be used only to take her
to the airport and pick her up,
then you owe her a new tire.
However, if her tires were so
worn that they could cause an
accident, then she should re-
place her own tire and the
other three as well.

FROM
HELOISE
TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) Henry Monter-
roso is a foreigner in his own country. Raised
in California from the age of 5, he was deport-
ed to Mexico in 2011 and found himself in a
land he barely knew.
But the 34-year-old Tijuana native feels
right at home as soon as gets to work at Call
Center Services International, where workers
are greeted in English. Monterroso supervises
ve employees amid rows of small cubicles
who spend eight hours a day dialing numbers
across the United States to collect on credit
card bills and other debts.
He is among thousands of deported Mexi-
cans who are nding refuge in call centers
in Tijuana and other border cities. In perfect
English some hardly speak Spanish they
converse with American consumers who buy
gadgets, have questions about warrantees or
complain about overdue deliveries.
At Monterrosos ofce in one of Tijuanas
tallest buildings, managers bring meals from
Taco Bell in nearby San Diego to reward em-
ployees because the fast-food chain has no out-
lets in Mexico. Workers are off for the Fourth
of July and Thanksgiving but labor on Mexi-
can holidays.
The end of your shift comes at 6 and you
get hit by reality out there: Youre not in the
U.S., Monterroso said above the din of buzz-
ing phones. While youre here, you still get a
sense that youre back home, which I like very
much.
Many workers spent nearly all their lives in
the U.S. and still have family there, which is a
major selling point for Mexico over English-
language industry leaders like India and the
Philippines. They can chat comfortably about
the U.S. housing market and Super Bowl con-
tenders. They know slang.
Still, the sudden change is a shock. Monter-
rosos weekly pay of less than $300 is a hum-
bling drop from the $2,400 he made in San Di-
ego real estate at the peak of the U.S. housing
boom in the mid-2000s. And back in Mexico,
the deportees are often ostracized for off-kilter
Spanish or seen as outsiders.
It cant get any worse for them, said Jorge
Oros, co-founder and chief operating ofcer
of Call Center Services International. They
were deported from a country where they were
for so many years and now theyre stuck here
in a country where theyve never been before.
When youre offering them a job and an oppor-
tunity, they become the most loyal employees
you can have.
By the end of the year, Mexicos outsourced
call centers will have more than 85,000 work-
stations, which may be staffed two or three
shifts a day, while there are nearly 490,000 in
India and 250,000 in the Philippines, accord-
ing to Frost & Sullivan. The industry consul-
tant estimates Mexico will surpass 110,000
workstations in 2020, fueled partly by a large
pool of bilingual workers and proximity to the
U.S.
Baja California state, which includes Ti-
juana, has about 35 call centers that employ
nearly 10,000 people. An estimated 45 percent
are deportees, said Oros, who leads a local
industry group. Callers typically start below
$150 a week, more than twice what they would
likely make on a graveyard shift in one of the
citys assembly plants.
The industry has prospered in Mexican
border cities as deportations spiked under U.S.
President Barack Obama. The Mexican gov-
ernment says there were 332,865 deportations
from the U.S. last year and more than 1.8 mil-
lion the previous four years.
At Call Center Services International, job
applicants read English to voice-recognition
software that ags anyone with a strong ac-
cent. The company conducted orientation for
new hires in Spanish when it was founded but
soon discovered that employees had an easier
time following in English.
Firstkontact Center, where about 200 of
nearly 500 employees were deported, opened
a second building this year in an industrial
area to more than double its capacity. More
than 100 people in a warehouse-like room sell
transmissions and brakes for U.S. Auto Parts
Network Inc.
How ya doin today? one worker says to
a customer in Crescent, Oklahoma, who wants
suspension plugs for a 1986 Jaguar. Not too
good on gas, right?

DOGS
(From page A1)
Nichols and his dogs have been making the rounds for the
past three years. Beforehand, they had to complete a rigorous
series of certications. To become sponsored by Pet Partners,
there were many components he needed to pass. Before he
could even begin the process, he had to get Sky and Sophie to a
level called Canine Good Citizen, sponsored by The American
Kennel Club. This includes 10 tests, which are mainly behav-
ioral tests such as the dogs reactions with a trusted person or
walking through a crowd. Then he could apply for Pet Partners
for which he had to complete a four-step process. First, he had
to take a course called Human End. Second, he needed to have
the dogs health checked out by a veterinarian. Then the dogs
and Nichols had to take a similar test as for Canine Good Citi-
zen, in addition, doing an aptitude test. Finally, he lled out the
registration form and his four-legged friends became therapy
dogs.
The bond that I have with my dogs is as strong as the bond
with my children, Nichols said. I would die for them.
He treats them like they are his family and gets as much out
of it as he puts in. He loves them unconditionally. The reward
is when he and the dogs make a child smile or bring a patient
out of depression if only for a short time.
Thats it, when it really hits me that this is a wonderful
thing we are doing, he said.
One of his best experiences was when he brought Sophie
into a room with an elderly man. From the moment Sophie ap-
proached the man, Nichols knew they had an instant connec-
tion with each other.
He acted like Sophie was his long-lost friend, Nichols re-
called.
He stayed in that room for 45 minutes and when he left, the
nurse said the man had just lost his own dog and thats when
he knew why the connection had been established so quickly.
Nichols and his pets also stop and interact with employees
and volunteers wherever they visit and sometimes, this can be
a small problem.
When we make our rounds at Lima Memorial, we always
visit the girls in the outpatient clinic, he said. They all know
us so they have treats in their desks for whichever dog I have
with me. By the time we get through, the dog will have had
seven or eight treats and then its naptime; they just want to lay
down and take a break. So, we try to make that visit the last of
the day.
Nichols and his canines are also popular in elementary
schools. He said they seem to have a magical effect on special
needs students.
You can just see their whole faces light up when they see
us in the hall or we enter their rooms, he said. They get down
on the oor with the dog or hang on it and Ive even had smaller
children lay on the dogs back. Sophie and Sky just take it and
look like theyre having the time of their lives.
Nichols last piece of advice was if someone has a dog that is
trainable to be a therapy dog, they should go for it.
You get so much satisfaction from the dogs and the people
you come in contact with and help, he said. I dont know why
anyone wouldnt want to have that experience.
TEACHERS
(From page A1)
Hench prepares the ap-
plications and has to provide
evidence of the teachers
and schools participation in
STEM education, including
science fair entries and be-
yond.
Im happy to get these
teachers the recognition they
deserve for their hard work,
Hench added.
The criteria for the Thomas
Edison Award for Excellence
are: (1) to conduct a local sci-
ence fair with 20 or more stu-
dents, (2) qualify one or more
of these students for one of the
Academys 16 district science
days, (3) have students partici-
pate in at least one more youth
science opportunity beyond
the classroom such as State
Science Day, visits to muse-
ums, mentorship programs
and extended eld trips and
(4) convince external profes-
sionals from STEM business
and industry, government and
academia employers how and
to what extent the schools
program met the Academys
denition of STEM education.
Five schools received the
maximum median score of
10 points: Bellbrook Middle
School, Bellbrook; Carroll
High School, Dayton; Nativ-
ity School, Cincinnati; Ot-
tawa Hills High School, To-
ledo; East Richland Christian
School, St. Clairsville. Scores
of other awardees ranged from
7-9.
Schools and teachers
that are awarded the Thomas
Edison Award for Excellence
strive to provide their stu-
dents with hands-on educa-
tion opportunities, said Ste-
phen McConoughey, PhD, the
academys CEO. Science is
a subject that is best learned
by doing. These schools and
their teachers are nding new,
creative ways to engage the
students above and beyond the
traditional methods. The stu-
dents will benet from these
experiences as teachers con-
tinue to develop our next gen-
eration of scientists for Ohio
and the country. In addition,
having volunteers from indus-
try and academia to review
these applications provides a
great perspective from those
who use science daily.
The Ohio Academy of Sci-
ence initiated this educational
partnership program in coop-
eration with The Ofce of The
Governor and The Technol-
ogy Division of The Ohio De-
velopment Services Agency to
recognize schools and teach-
ers who stimulate student
scientic and technological
research and extend STEM
education opportunities be-
yond traditional classroom
activities. The Technology
Division of The Ohio Devel-
opment Services Agency has
supported this program since
1985 by grants to The Ohio
Academy of Science.
Twenty-eight professionals
broadly representing STEM
employers from business and
industry, government and
academia evaluated the ap-
plications in a blind review
process: AEP, Air Force Re-
search Laboratory, Battelle
Memorial Institute, Central
State University, Chamberlain

HAWAII
(From page A5)
The United States Secretary of the Interior,
Fred A. Seaton, who had responsibilities for
the territories, was also on hand for the ofcial
birth of a new state.
The approval of statehood for Alaska last
year in effect ended Hawaiis long ght for
statehood. For at that time it was generally
understood that this year Hawaiis turn would
come.
Until this year Hawaii statehood bills had
passed the House three times in the last de-
cade. On one occasion the bill passed the Sen-
ate also, but was tied to an Alaskan measure
that brought death to both.
Much of the opposition came from South-
erners in Congress who took a dim view of the
mixed racial strains of Hawaiis population.
Southerners also fought its admission on the
same ground they fought Alaskan statehood.
That is, the additional seats would weaken the
Souths already diluted strength in the Senate.
FAIR

NIRMALA GEORGE
Associated Press
NEW DELHI (AP) In-
dia has blocked the release
of a lm on the assassination
of former Prime Minister In-
dira Gandhi, saying it glories
her killers and could trigger
violent protests, ofcials said
Friday.
Indias lm certication
board said the lm gloried
the Sikh bodyguards who
killed Gandhi to avenge her
suppression of an insurgency
that culminated in an army as-
sault on the Golden Temple,
Sikhisms holiest shrine.
Kaum De Heere, or Di-
amonds of the Community,
was scheduled to be released
in theaters across northern In-
dia on Friday.
Certication board chief
Leela Samson said panel mem-
bers saw the lm and decided
it could not be released as it
posed a threat to public order.
Indias Home Ministry had
expressed concern about a
clearance earlier given to the
lm and had asked the panel
to review it, Samson said.
The ministry had received
intelligence reports that the
lm, in the Punjabi language,
could trigger feelings of enmi-
ty between Indias Hindu and
Sikh communities, she said.
We saw the lm and de-
cided it could not be released
as it was, due to fears that it
would lead to disruption of
public order, she said.
The lm is double trouble.
It glories Indira Gandhis as-
sassins who took the law into
their own hands and it glori-
es the hanging of the two
men, Samson said.
The lm is based on the
lives of three Sikh men, in-
cluding two bodyguards who
shot and killed Gandhi against
the backdrop of an insurgency
that gripped the northern state
of Punjab through the late
1970s and early 1980s when
Sikh militants demanded a
separate Sikh nation.
Gandhi ordered the June
1984 army operation to ush
out hundreds of heavily armed
Sikh separatists barricaded in-
side the Golden Temple.

CLEVELAND (AP) Johnny Manziel has been slapped
on the nger.
The NFL ned the Browns rookie quarterback $12,000 on
Friday for ipping his middle nger at Washingtons sideline,
a person familiar with the penalty told The Associated Press.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the rul-
ing has not been made public.
Manziel said he was reacting to incessant taunting by the
Redskins during Monday nights nationally televised game
when he made the gesture while running back to Clevelands
huddle.
I had words exchanged with me throughout the entirety
of the game, every game, week after week, Manziel said. I
should have been smarter. It was a Monday Night Football
game and the cameras were probably solidly on me, and I
need to be smarter about that.
Manziel has never shied away from other gestures on the
eld, notably the nger-rubbing money sign he made fa-
mous while winning the Heisman Trophy at Texas A&M.
Manziel expects the trash talk to keep heading his way.
Since my name has grown bigger and people have known
who I am, it just continues to go as the games continue to go
on, he said following Clevelands 24-23 loss to the Redskins.
I dont know if there is a single level of severity each game,
but I know its there and its present every game. I just need
to let it slide off my back and go to the next play.
I feel like I did a good job of holding my composure
throughout the night and you have a lapse of judgment and
slip up.
His nger ipping didnt help his chances of winning
Clevelands starting job, which went to veteran Brian Hoyer.
Browns coach Mike Pettine felt Manziel should have
known better than to react to Washingtons insults. He wants
his high-prole rookie and Clevelands other players
to make mature decisions on and off the eld. Pettine said
the 21-year-olds behavior factored into the teams decision in
naming a starter.
We talk about Play like a Brown. We want our guys to
act like a Brown, Pettine said. We want to be a rst-class
organization. We have hundreds, thousands of kids come to
our training camp practices, and look up to our players. That
type of behavior is unacceptable. Its something thats part of
football that you have to maintain your poise and your com-
posure, especially at that position, and he should know better
than anyone that all eyes are on him.

Jon Singletons homer capped
a four-run ninth inning and
the Houston Astros took ad-
vantage of Clevelands sloppy
defense to defeat the Indians
5-1 on Friday night.
Singleton hit a three-run
drive off Cody Allen (4-3) af-
ter a pair of throwing errors
by the worst defensive team in
the majors.
Catcher Roberto Perezs
wild throw let the go-ahead
run score. A throwing error by
rst baseman Carlos Santana
set up Houstons big inning.
Tony Sipp (4-2) pitched the
eighth. The Indians helped
him by getting two runners
thrown out on the bases.
Houston took two of three
at Yankee Stadium before
coming to Cleveland, and has
won four of ve overall. The
Astros had lost six straight
against Cleveland, getting out-
scored 41-15.
Carlos Carrasco allowed
one run in six innings for
Cleveland. Astros starter Brad
Peacock gave up one run and
was pulled after ve innings
because of discomfort in his
right forearm.
Marwin Gonzalez homered
for Houston and Zach Walters
connected for Cleveland in the
fth. Walters homered for the
third straight day.
After Allen isssued a one-
out walk to Chris Carter, San-
tana threw wildly to second
after elding Dexter Fowlers
ground ball. The error moved
Carter to third.
Then when Fowler tried
to steal second, Perezs high
throw glanced off shortstop
Jose Ramirezs glove and
rolled into the outeld, allow-
ing Carter to score.
The Indians lead the majors
with 99 errors, but their poor
play wasnt limited to defense.
Cleveland had runners on rst
and second with no outs in the
eighth before shoddy baserun-
ning ended the threat.
Mike Aviles, who led off
with a single, was caught off
second on Roberto Perezs
bunt attempt. Tyler Holt, who
advanced to second while
Aviles was tagged in a run-
down, was later thrown out
trying to steal third.
Carrasco has given up one
run in 18 innings over three
starts since returning to the
rotation. He struck out a sea-
son-high eight and held Hous-
ton to two hits.
Peacock, who also gave up
two hits, was pulled after tak-
ing two warmup pitches be-
fore the sixth inning. He had
a discussion with manager Bo
Porter and walked off the eld
with a team trainer.
TRAINERS ROOM
Astros: RHP Chad Qualls,
who had been out with a sore
back, pitched the ninth in-
ning, his rst appearance
since Tuesday. The closer has
a team-high 14 saves in 17 op-
portunities and leads Houston
with 49 appearances.
Indians: C Yan Gomes
(concussion) did some light
pregame activity Friday. He
was hit in the mask when a
pitch deected off Minneso-
tas Kurt Suzuki on Thursday.
Theres no timetable for when
Gomes will return.

CONVOY In the nal pre-
season tuneup before high school
football kicks off in earnest next
weekend, Van Wert scored two de-
fensive touchdowns and forced six
Crestview turnovers en route to a
41-14 route of the Knights on Friday
night.
Just three plays into the contest,
Van Wert junior Jake Schaufelberger
forced Crestview quarterback Pres-
ton Zaleski out of the pocket. When
Zaleski threw off his back foot to
the at, Van Wert corner Kris Hart
stepped in front of the pass for the
interception.
Four plays later, Cougar quarter-
back Colin Smith carried the ball
into the end zone from eight yards
out to get the scoring started.
Crestview fought back, getting
great eld position thanks to an Isa-
iah Kline kickoff return of 36 yards.
On the eighth play of the series, it
was Kline who paid it off, catching
an 8-yard pass from Zaleski in the
front corner of the endzone for a 7-7
score.
On the next Knight possession,
Zaleski again tried the at, but this
time Cougar Nicholas Krugh came
up with the pick and raced 60 yards
down eld for the touchdown.
Since we switched defenses,
weve been really good against the
run, but more so against the pass,
when teams have had to do that,
Cougar head coach Keith Recker
noted. I really feel good (about)
where were at defensively right
now.
The Knights ran the ball up and
down the eld in the opening half,
gaining 19 yards on a run by Malcom
Oliver to the right side and another
13 when Crestview ran the same
play to the left on the next snap. Za-
leski dashed 68 yards with 3 minutes
to play in the rst period, moving
the ball from the Crestview 10 to the
Cougar 22. Two plays later, however,
Van Werts Ryan Stoller came up
with a loose ball on a Knight fumble.
Though Crestview knotted it at
14-14 on a Zaleski keeper in the sec-
ond, Smith and the Cougars would
score twice before the half came to
an end. Smith hit Quincey Salcido on
a 56-yard strike for a 21-14 lead, then
found Nick Gutierrez from 19 yards
away for a 28-14 halftime score.
The Cougars put the game away
in the second half, using another
defensive score to erase any doubt.
After Crestviews Payton Knittle
blocked a Cougar punt, the Knights
looked poised to strike, but Marcel
Salcido came up with a strip and
outran the Knights pursuit for a 90-
yard fumble return for a touchdown.
Gutierrez caught another touchdown
midway through the fourth on a pass
from reserve quarterback Caleb
Fetzer.
During the varsity portion of the
contest, Crestview lost the turnover
battle by a 6-0 margin.
That was the Achilles heel to-
night, Crestview head coach Jared
Owens explained. A lot of fumbled
snaps, interceptions. We didnt deal
with the heat very well; things got
slippery and we didnt deal with that
very well.
Crestview hosts Parkway next
week to open the 2014 season while
the Cougars welcome Bryan to Eg-
gerss Satdium.
I feel like weve got some pieces
to the puzzle, Owens added, look-
ing back on the preseason. Weve
just got to try to put it together before
next week.

MARIA STEIN With the regular-season gridiron
opener next Friday night, Jefferson was looking for a
nal tuneup to the pre-season to get themselves ready.
What a better way than to take on the 2-time small-
school division state champion (Division VI in 2012,
Division VII a year ago) Marion Local Flyers Friday
night at soggy Booster Field in Maria Stein?
We challenged our kids this whole week to be
physical, because we knew Marion would be. I felt
we matched their physicality; thats what we wanted,
Jefferson coach Chris Sommers explained. The kids
played hard and had great effort, again a very good
thing to look for. This was a great scrimmage for us to
learn a lot of things about ourselves and we as a coach-
ing staff really liked what we saw.
In the rst two series of 10-plays-and-out for both
teams, the defenses were in control, neither allowing a
score.
The junior varsity then had a go of it in the same for-
mat for one possession each and the only scores
came on Flyer scoring passes of 38 yards and 65 yards.
The varsity returned for the rst-and-10 format
(starting at the 35 each series) and the Wildcats reached
the Flyer 28 before having to punt.
The Flyers replied with a 45-yard touchdown pass on
the fourth play and converted the unrushed extra point.
Each team had one more series but neither could
score, with the Wildcat defense holding on fourth down
at their 13.
The JVs returned for two series of 10 plays each.
The Flyers scored once in each of theirs: a 20-yard
toss and a 10-yard run.
Jefferson got a 40-yard scoring run by sophomore
quarterback Drew Reiss.
We had a solid scrimmage. We made some mis-
takes but we saw less this week than last; we made
great progress between Bath last Friday and tonight,
Sommers added. Well get back to work this week in
practice and get ready for the opener, well correct those
mistakes. We had a great week of practice before this
scrimmage and well need another one to get ready for
Friday.
Both units lift the lid on the 2014 regular campaign
Friday. Jefferson is at Wayneseld-Goshen (7 p.m. kick-
off) and Marion Local hosts Shawnee.

BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) Its the kind of
jumble that can make even the most seasoned
driver nervous.
Matt Kenseth stands fth in the points
standings and seems a lock to make in into
NASCARs Chase for the Sprint Cup cham-
pionship when the 10-race playoffs begin in
three weeks at Chicagoland Speedway.
But the 2003 series champion is still win-
less this season. With three races remaining
in the regular-season, including two on unpre-
dictable short tracks, hes not banking on any-
thing just yet.
I never feel like youre a lock for anything
until youre really a lock for something, Kens-
eth said Friday at Bristol Motor Speedway, the
rst of those short tracks to be navigated in the
next three races. Until its mathematically im-
possible to be out, I never feel like youre in.
We want to win.
Hes still in a lot less precarious position
than, say, Greg Bife.
Twelve drivers are already locked into the
playoffs as race winners. Kenseths 709 points
put him 13th in the Chase standings, 49 points
ahead of Bife, who is in the nal qualifying
spot.
Three drivers Kasey Kahne, Austin Dil-
lon and Kyle Larson are within 24 points of
Bife, and the list of non-winners also includes
very capable drivers like Kahne, Paul Menard
and Jamie McMurray.
In NASCARs new format, a win by any of
them, or by one of several other drivers, would
allow the race-winner to jump into the cham-
pionship eld.
Youve got to really be on offense and
defense at Bristol, Bife said. You come in
here and run as hard as you can. Were here to
win and we feel like we run in the top 10 about
every time were at Bristol, and thats the posi-
tion you need to be in in order to put yourself
in a position to win.
Carl Edwards won that way at Bristol back
in the spring, Bife noted, by being in the right
position when it mattered most. His victory
was cemented by an inadvertent caution to end
a rain-soaked race.
I feel its going to take a win still to get in
this thing, Bife said.
The dicey nature of the jumble gets all the
more intriguing with rookies Dillon and Lar-
son among those hot on Bifes heals. Dillon
trails by 22 points for 16th place, Larson is 24
back.

Lake La Su An (82 acres; Williams County) - Bluegill:
Good numbers of Fish Ohio bluegill are still being caugh, es-
pecially using jigs tipped with wax or red worms. This shery
is intensively managed to maintain the harvest of large sh; all
area lakes (except Lake Lavere) are open to public shing on
Fridays-Mondays from sunrise-sunset until Sept. 29; there is a
limit of 25 per day (area-wide) with only ve 8 inches or larger
allowed. Note: The harvest estimates have been met and Lake
Lavere has been closed for the year. For additional rules and
information, visit wildohio.gov.
Grand Lake St. Marys (Auglaize/Mercer counties) - Chan-
nel catsh: Try on the bottom with nightcrawlers, chicken liv-
ers, shrimp or cut baits. Prime areas include the Windy Point
shing pier and the stone piers along the east bank; increase
your chances of catching a large athead by using large chub
minnows or live sunsh.
LAKE ERIE
Walleye: Walleye shing has been slow and fewer anglers
have been targeting them. The best reports have come from
west of Rattlesnake Island up to the Canadian border, including
Northwest Reef and the red bell buoy near the Canadian bor-
der; Other spots include West Sister and Green islands and off
Cedar Point. Anglers trolling are using worm harnesses with
inline weights, divers or bottom-bouncers and spoons pulled
behind divers; casters are using mayy rigs or are drifting with
bottom-bouncers and worm harnesses.
Yellow Perch: Fishing has been good based on numbers
of sh but the size has been running small, including a lot of
throwbacks. The best spots have been north of West Sister
Island, north of B and C cans of the Camp Perry ring
range, the red bell buoy north of North Bass Island, Rattle-
snake Island, south of Green Island, Lucys Point of Middle
Bass Island and southeast of Kelleys Island. Perch-spreaders
with shiners shed near the bottom produce the most sh.
Smallmouth Bass: Are being caught on the reefs of the
Camp Perry ring range and around Kelleys Island and North
Bass islands on tube jigs, crankbaits or jerkbaits.
Largemouth bass: Are being caught in the harbors and bays
iand along the main lake shoreline around Catawba on crank-
baits, spinner baits and soft plastics.
Central Basin Walleye: Fishing has been good at the dump-
ing grounds off Huron, off Ruggles Reef and near the weather
buoy at the north end of the Sandbar. Fishing has slowed down
in the Cleveland area. Excellent shing has been reported in
70-74 feet north of Geneva and north-northeast of Ashtabula
using wireline, Dipsy- and Jet-divers, with worm harnesses and
stick baits.
Yellow perch: Anglers are catching some off the condos east
of Vermilion, off St. Anthonys near Lorain, in 40-50 feet north
of Gordon Park and 45 feet north of Wildwood Park. Excellent
shing has been reported in 53-63 feet northwest of Fairport
Harbor and in 53-64 feet north of Ashtabula.

Josh Gordon smiled as he
walked off the eld on an in-
sufferably muggy day. Noth-
ing, it seemed, was bothering
him.
He peeled off his jersey,
sweat streaking his face. The
star receiver soon posted a
photo on Instagram of him
catching a pass from rookie
Johnny Manziel.
Only place I can nd
peace, Gordon captioned the
picture.
The football eld is giv-
ing Gordon serenity. His time
there be could be running out.
Gordon is still awaiting
word from the NFL on wheth-
er hell be suspended for all or
part of the upcoming season.
Gordon, who led the league
with 1,646 yards receiving
last season, recently had his
appeal hearing to ght a pos-
sible yearlong suspension for
again violating the leagues
substance-abuse program.
Hes been practicing and play-
ing for weeks amid uncertain-
ty about his career.
The 23-year-old player
has seemingly been in a fog,
dropping passes during prac-
tices and preseason games. He
hasnt spoken to reporters for
months.
Its denitely weighing
on him, Browns coach Mike
Pettine said. He, like all of
us, wants to know and wants
to get on with it and move
forward. Just kind of being
in limbo for so long, it can be
draining. He made the com-
ment the other day that the
football eld is where he feels
most at home.
Gordon shattered the clubs
single-season franchise record
with 1,646 yards receiving last
year despite being suspended
for the rst two games. In just
his second season as a pro,
Gordon emerged as one of the
games top playmakers, capa-
ble of turning a 12-yard inside
route into a breathtaking 95-
yard touchdown.
He was on the verge of
superstardom, but may have
stumbled.
Gordon allegedly tested
positive for marijuana during
the offseason, violating the
conditions required as a repeat
offender under the leagues
system. Last month, Gordon
hired lawyer Maurice Suh to
represent him at his appeal
hearing before arbitrator Har-
old Henderson in New York.
Suh argued Gordons posi-
tive test was the result of sec-
ondhand smoke, a person fa-
miliar with the defense told
The Associated Press on July
29.
Gordons troubles werent
limited to his battle with the
league. He was arrested and
charged with driving while in-
toxicated on July 5 in Raleigh,
North Carolina. In May, he
was ticketed for speeding in
Ohio and a passenger in his
car was cited for marijuana
possession.

CINCINNATI (AP) As
his term winds down, baseball
Commissioner Bud Selig hasnt
changed his outlook on Pete
Roses lifetime ban for gambling.
Selig visited Cincinnati on
Friday for the opening of an
urban youth academy, and then
drove down Pete Rose Way to
visit Great American Ball Park
and the Cincinnati Reds Hall of
Fame and Museum that contains
many references to baseballs
hits leader.
He declined to talk about
Roses case directly, but gave no
indication that hes inclined to
change his mind and reinstate
him before he leaves ofce in
January. He acknowledged that
Rose still has a lot of support in
his hometown.
I have to do in the end
always do what I think is in the
best interests of this sport, Selig
said. That transcends every-
thing else.
Selig will retire in Janu-
ary after 22 years as commis-
sioner, turning the ofce over
to Rob Manfred. Hell share his
thoughts with Manfred about
Roses lifetime ban which
began 25 years ago and his
longstanding application for re-
instatement.
How it ends eventually, I
dont know, Selig said. But Ive
taken it seriously, talked to a lot
of people. And its one of those
situations in life that are dif-
cult, you wish didnt exist but it
does. I have ve months to think
about this.
In some cases, ladies and
gentlemen, whatever you do,
somebodys going to be mad at
you and you have to learn to live
with it.
Selig pointed out that the
commissioners ofce was cre-
ated to deal with the Black Sox
gambling scandal, so he has felt
a heavy responsibility to protect
the sport. Rose has acknowl-
edged he bet on baseball games,
including Reds games when he
was manager.
You are always concerned
about integrity, Selig said. A
sport without integrity is not a
sport.
In his last ve months, Selig
hopes to work on some changes
that include:
Speeding up games. He
doesnt think there needs to be a
pitch clock, but wants to look at
other changes. During conversa-
tions with Reds ofcials, Selig
mentioned keeping batters in the
box rather than allowing them to
step out between pitches.
I am concerned about some
things, he said. So yes, in the
next two to three weeks Im go-
ing to try to get some things
done so at least they kick in for
next year.
Tweaking replays. Selig is
happy with how expanded re-
play has worked this year, with
reviews taking an average of 1
minute, 57 seconds. He sees a
need for adjustments, including
the delays when managers are
waiting to decide whether to ap-
peal a call. He noted that replays
have cut out the prolonged argu-
ments with managers.
Weve stopped all that, he
said. So when people say its
added to the time of the game
now, I think its shortened it. But
there are some tweaks that need
to be done.
Awarding more All-Star
games. Cincinnati will host the
2015 game next July 14. No other
cities have been chosen.
Selig hasnt changed outlook about Rose

BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) Its the kind of
jumble that can make even the most seasoned
driver nervous.
Matt Kenseth stands fth in the points
standings and seems a lock to make in into
NASCARs Chase for the Sprint Cup cham-
pionship when the 10-race playoffs begin in
three weeks at Chicagoland Speedway.
But the 2003 series champion is still win-
less this season. With three races remaining
in the regular-season, including two on unpre-
dictable short tracks, hes not banking on any-
thing just yet.
I never feel like youre a lock for anything
until youre really a lock for something, Kens-
eth said Friday at Bristol Motor Speedway, the
rst of those short tracks to be navigated in the
next three races. Until its mathematically im-
possible to be out, I never feel like youre in.
We want to win.
Hes still in a lot less precarious position
than, say, Greg Bife.
Twelve drivers are already locked into the
playoffs as race winners. Kenseths 709 points
put him 13th in the Chase standings, 49 points
ahead of Bife, who is in the nal qualifying
spot.
Three drivers Kasey Kahne, Austin Dil-
lon and Kyle Larson are within 24 points of
Bife, and the list of non-winners also includes
very capable drivers like Kahne, Paul Menard
and Jamie McMurray.
In NASCARs new format, a win by any of
them, or by one of several other drivers, would
allow the race-winner to jump into the cham-
pionship eld.
Youve got to really be on offense and
defense at Bristol, Bife said. You come in
here and run as hard as you can. Were here to
win and we feel like we run in the top 10 about
every time were at Bristol, and thats the posi-
tion you need to be in in order to put yourself
in a position to win.
Carl Edwards won that way at Bristol back
in the spring, Bife noted, by being in the right
position when it mattered most. His victory
was cemented by an inadvertent caution to end
a rain-soaked race.
I feel its going to take a win still to get in
this thing, Bife said.
The dicey nature of the jumble gets all the
more intriguing with rookies Dillon and Lar-
son among those hot on Bifes heals. Dillon
trails by 22 points for 16th place, Larson is 24
back.

NORTHWEST OHIO
Lake La Su An (82 acres; Williams County) - Bluegill:
Good numbers of Fish Ohio bluegill are still being caugh, es-
pecially using jigs tipped with wax or red worms. This shery
is intensively managed to maintain the harvest of large sh; all
area lakes (except Lake Lavere) are open to public shing on
Fridays-Mondays from sunrise-sunset until Sept. 29; there is a
limit of 25 per day (area-wide) with only ve 8 inches or larger
allowed. Note: The harvest estimates have been met and Lake
Lavere has been closed for the year. For additional rules and
information, visit wildohio.gov.
Grand Lake St. Marys (Auglaize/Mercer counties) - Chan-
nel catsh: Try on the bottom with nightcrawlers, chicken liv-
ers, shrimp or cut baits. Prime areas include the Windy Point
shing pier and the stone piers along the east bank; increase
your chances of catching a large athead by using large chub
minnows or live sunsh.
LAKE ERIE
Walleye: Walleye shing has been slow and fewer anglers
have been targeting them. The best reports have come from
west of Rattlesnake Island up to the Canadian border, including
Northwest Reef and the red bell buoy near the Canadian bor-
der; Other spots include West Sister and Green islands and off
Cedar Point. Anglers trolling are using worm harnesses with
inline weights, divers or bottom-bouncers and spoons pulled
behind divers; casters are using mayy rigs or are drifting with
bottom-bouncers and worm harnesses.
Yellow Perch: Fishing has been good based on numbers
of sh but the size has been running small, including a lot of
throwbacks. The best spots have been north of West Sister
Island, north of B and C cans of the Camp Perry ring
range, the red bell buoy north of North Bass Island, Rattle-
snake Island, south of Green Island, Lucys Point of Middle
Bass Island and southeast of Kelleys Island. Perch-spreaders
with shiners shed near the bottom produce the most sh.
Smallmouth Bass: Are being caught on the reefs of the
Camp Perry ring range and around Kelleys Island and North
Bass islands on tube jigs, crankbaits or jerkbaits.
Largemouth bass: Are being caught in the harbors and bays
iand along the main lake shoreline around Catawba on crank-
baits, spinner baits and soft plastics.
Central Basin Walleye: Fishing has been good at the dump-
ing grounds off Huron, off Ruggles Reef and near the weather
buoy at the north end of the Sandbar. Fishing has slowed down
in the Cleveland area. Excellent shing has been reported in
70-74 feet north of Geneva and north-northeast of Ashtabula
using wireline, Dipsy- and Jet-divers, with worm harnesses and
stick baits.
Yellow perch: Anglers are catching some off the condos east
of Vermilion, off St. Anthonys near Lorain, in 40-50 feet north
of Gordon Park and 45 feet north of Wildwood Park. Excellent
shing has been reported in 53-63 feet northwest of Fairport
Harbor and in 53-64 feet north of Ashtabula.

CLEVELAND (AP)
Josh Gordon smiled as he
walked off the eld on an in-
sufferably muggy day. Noth-
ing, it seemed, was bothering
him.
He peeled off his jersey,
sweat streaking his face. The
star receiver soon posted a
photo on Instagram of him
catching a pass from rookie
Johnny Manziel.
Only place I can nd
peace, Gordon captioned the
picture.
The football eld is giv-
ing Gordon serenity. His time
there be could be running out.
Gordon is still awaiting
word from the NFL on wheth-
er hell be suspended for all or
part of the upcoming season.
Gordon, who led the league
with 1,646 yards receiving
last season, recently had his
appeal hearing to ght a pos-
sible yearlong suspension for
again violating the leagues
substance-abuse program.
Hes been practicing and play-
ing for weeks amid uncertain-
ty about his career.
The 23-year-old player
has seemingly been in a fog,
dropping passes during prac-
tices and preseason games. He
hasnt spoken to reporters for
months.
Its denitely weighing
on him, Browns coach Mike
Pettine said. He, like all of
us, wants to know and wants
to get on with it and move
forward. Just kind of being
in limbo for so long, it can be
draining. He made the com-
ment the other day that the
football eld is where he feels
most at home.
Gordon shattered the clubs
single-season franchise record
with 1,646 yards receiving last
year despite being suspended
for the rst two games. In just
his second season as a pro,
Gordon emerged as one of the
games top playmakers, capa-
ble of turning a 12-yard inside
route into a breathtaking 95-
yard touchdown.
He was on the verge of
superstardom, but may have
stumbled.
Gordon allegedly tested
positive for marijuana during
the offseason, violating the
conditions required as a repeat
offender under the leagues
system. Last month, Gordon
hired lawyer Maurice Suh to
represent him at his appeal
hearing before arbitrator Har-
old Henderson in New York.
Suh argued Gordons posi-
tive test was the result of sec-
ondhand smoke, a person fa-
miliar with the defense told
The Associated Press on July
29.
Gordons troubles werent
limited to his battle with the
league. He was arrested and
charged with driving while in-
toxicated on July 5 in Raleigh,
North Carolina. In May, he
was ticketed for speeding in
Ohio and a passenger in his
car was cited for marijuana
possession.

CINCINNATI (AP) As
his term winds down, baseball
Commissioner Bud Selig hasnt
changed his outlook on Pete
Roses lifetime ban for gambling.
Selig visited Cincinnati on
Friday for the opening of an
urban youth academy, and then
drove down Pete Rose Way to
visit Great American Ball Park
and the Cincinnati Reds Hall of
Fame and Museum that contains
many references to baseballs
hits leader.
He declined to talk about
Roses case directly, but gave no
indication that hes inclined to
change his mind and reinstate
him before he leaves ofce in
January. He acknowledged that
Rose still has a lot of support in
his hometown.
I have to do in the end
always do what I think is in the
best interests of this sport, Selig
said. That transcends every-
thing else.
Selig will retire in Janu-
ary after 22 years as commis-
sioner, turning the ofce over
to Rob Manfred. Hell share his
thoughts with Manfred about
Roses lifetime ban which
began 25 years ago and his
longstanding application for re-
instatement.
How it ends eventually, I
dont know, Selig said. But Ive
taken it seriously, talked to a lot
of people. And its one of those
situations in life that are dif-
cult, you wish didnt exist but it
does. I have ve months to think
about this.
In some cases, ladies and
gentlemen, whatever you do,
somebodys going to be mad at
you and you have to learn to live
with it.
Selig pointed out that the
commissioners ofce was cre-
ated to deal with the Black Sox
gambling scandal, so he has felt
a heavy responsibility to protect
the sport. Rose has acknowl-
edged he bet on baseball games,
including Reds games when he
was manager.
You are always concerned
about integrity, Selig said. A
sport without integrity is not a
sport.
In his last ve months, Selig
hopes to work on some changes
that include:
Speeding up games. He
doesnt think there needs to be a
pitch clock, but wants to look at
other changes. During conversa-
tions with Reds ofcials, Selig
mentioned keeping batters in the
box rather than allowing them to
step out between pitches.
I am concerned about some
things, he said. So yes, in the
next two to three weeks Im go-
ing to try to get some things
done so at least they kick in for
next year.
Tweaking replays. Selig is
happy with how expanded re-
play has worked this year, with
reviews taking an average of 1
minute, 57 seconds. He sees a
need for adjustments, including
the delays when managers are
waiting to decide whether to ap-
peal a call. He noted that replays
have cut out the prolonged argu-
ments with managers.
Weve stopped all that, he
said. So when people say its
added to the time of the game
now, I think its shortened it. But
there are some tweaks that need
to be done.
Awarding more All-Star
games. Cincinnati will host the
2015 game next July 14. No other
cities have been chosen.
Selig hasnt changed outlook about Rose

Saturday, August 23, 2014
Expand your creative ideas
and put some plans in place to
help you reach your goals. You
have a myriad of interests, but
you need to focus on what is
most important to you. Draw
up an outline for a future
in which you fully use your
expertise, talent and skills.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22) -- Someone isnt being
frank with you. Let your
intuition guide you in order
to fnd out whats at stake
and how you should proceed.
Caution, attention to detail
and precision will pay off for
you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
23) -- Get out and make new
friends. A decision to waste
the day away could cause you
to miss an exciting opportunity
from an interesting party.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-
Nov. 22) -- Someone will be
hesitant to share his or her
feelings. Take a step back
and offer time and space until
you can reach a comfort zone
that is conducive to serious
discussions.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- You will be the
star of the show. Your charm
and charisma will draw people
your way, and you will gain
popularity among your peers.
Enjoy the moment and make
positive moves.
CAPRICORN (Dec.
22-Jan. 19) -- If you are
looking for a way to increase
your income, consider using
your skills more diversely. A
property or business venture
has the potential to become
very lucrative.
AQUARIUS (Jan.
20-Feb. 19) -- Youll face
conficting emotions when
it comes to those closest to
you. Examine your position
and consider what, exactly, is
making you feel uncertain.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- You will make a good
impression today. Youll be
diffcult to keep up with and
next to impossible to beat.
Mix business with pleasure in
order to gain momentum.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- A travel opportunity
will be coming your way.
Remember to put your own
needs frst. Devote your day to
fun and laughter and doing the
things that make you happy.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- Dont judge others
too harshly. You may suffer
some disappointment, but its
doubtful that anyone intended
to hurt you. Forgive, forget
and move on.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- Put all your cards on
the table when scouting for a
collaborator. If you are truthful
about your expectations,
you can expect fruitful new
developments.
CANCER (June 21-
July 22) -- Talk to someone
showing interest in your
particular skills and talents.
You stand to make some
money if you can market what
you have to offer.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- You will generate all kinds
of favorable attention. The
followers you attract must
not be given priority over
those who have helped and
supported you from the get-
go.

Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) The ice bucket
challenges phenomenal success is mak-
ing other charitable organizations re-
think how they connect with a younger
generation of potential donors.
Since the ALS Association began
tracking the campaigns progress on July
29, it has raised more than $53.3 million
from 1.1 million new donors in what is
one of the most viral philanthropic social
media campaigns in history.
Thousands of people, including celeb-
rities like Taylor Swift and Oprah Win-
frey, have posted videos of themselves
getting buckets of ice water dumped over
their heads and challenging others to do
the same or donate money to The ALS
Association, which raises money for Lou
Gehrigs disease research and assistance.
The ice bucket challenge has shown
its OK to be silly for a good cause, says
Brian Mittendorf, a professor at the Ohio
State University Fisher College of Busi-
ness, who teaches courses in nonprot
nance.
Normally the model is to nd peo-
ple who are passionate about a cause
and then ask for donations or to educate
people and then seek out donations. (The
ice bucket challenge is) something thats
fun that people can do people are tak-
ing part in it and then taking the info and
donating.
The viral nature of the effort surprised
even The ALS Association.
This level of unprecedented giving is
(something) I dont think this country has
seen before outside of a disaster or emer-
gency, said ALS Association spokes-
person Carrie Munk. We had no idea it
would get to this point.
Who should get credit for making this
a viral sensation depends on whom you
ask. Some say it began earlier this month
when friends of a 29-year-old Boston
man with ALS, a neurodegenerative dis-
ease that affects nerve cells in the brain
and spinal cord, did a group challenge.
Its also demonstrated that the average
Joe or Jane can make waves.
One of the big take-aways is the
power of individuals who are so tightly
connected to a cause can really make
a difference, Munk said. Im pretty
sure that if any company or any non-
prot had all of the public relations
dollars in the world to come up with a
campaign, we never wouldve seen this
kind of success.
Lucretia Gilbert, executive director of
The Pink Agenda, which raises money
for breast cancer research and awareness,
believes it will encourage other nonprof-
its to get creative on social media.
Its a very simple thing and thats
kind of the beauty of it. Everyone can do
this challenge, she said.
The effort comes at a time when pri-
vate groups are searching for new ways
to raise dollars in the wake of tighter
federal government spending on basic
medical research, including on diseases
like ALS.
The National Institutes of Health is
spending about $30 billion this year,
money that is divided in a highly com-
petitive process to scientists around the
country, and the world, to pursue what
are deemed the most promising leads to
understand various diseases and to nd
new targets to ght them.
Congress cut government spending
last year; in 2012, the NIHs budget was
$30.8 billion. And even before those cuts,
the agencys budget hadnt kept pace with
ination for about a decade. As a result,
the NIH is funding about one in six grant
applications down from about one in
three a decade ago, director Francis Col-
lins said earlier this year.

BY ROBERT BURNS
AP National Security Writer
WASHINGTON (AP)
A senior White House ofcial
raised the possibility Friday
of a broader American mili-
tary campaign that targets an
Islamic extremist groups
bases in Syria, saying the U.S.
would take whatever action is
necessary to protect national
security.
Were not going to be re-
stricted by borders, said Ben
Rhodes, President Barack
Obamas deputy national se-
curity adviser.
The White House said the
president has received no mil-
itary options beyond those he
authorized earlier this month
for limited airstrikes against
the Islamic State group in
Iraq and military aid to Iraqi
and Kurdish forces. Thus far,
the United States has avoided
military involvement in Syr-
ias three-year civil war. But
faced with the Islamic State
making gains across the re-
gion and the beheading of an
American journalist, the ad-
ministrations resistance may
be weakening.
Rhodes spoke a day after
Obamas top military adviser
warned the extremists cannot
be defeated without address-
ing their sanctuary in Syria.
Many prominent Repub-
licans and some Democrats
have called on Obama to hit
back harder at the Islamic
State militants.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.,
a prospective 2016 presiden-
tial candidate, said in an in-
terview Friday that attacking
their supply lines, command
and control centers and eco-
nomic assets inside Syria is
at the crux of the decision for
Obama. The risk of getting
sucked into a new war is out-
weighed, he said, by the risk
of inaction.
To hit back at the group,
Obama has stressed military
assistance to Iraq and efforts
to create a new, inclusive
government in Baghdad that
can persuade Sunnis to leave
the insurgency. He also has
sought to frame the Islamic
State threat in terms that con-
vince other countries not
just in the Mideast but also in
Europe of the need to cre-
ate a broad coalition against
the extremists.
Lukman Faily, the Iraqi
ambassador to Washington,
said in an interview this week
that Baghdads new leader-
ship has been told to expect
additional military help once
the new government is seated,
possibly in early September.
But an Iraqi counteroffensive
may yield only temporary
gains if the Islamic State re-
treats to areas of Syria beyond
the governments control.
The U.S. cant defeat the
Islamic State terrorist army
in Iraq if it does not strike its
leadership and core base in
Syria simultaneously, said
Oubai Shahbandar, a Wash-
ington-based senior strategist
for the Western-backed oppo-
sition Syrian National Coali-
tion group. A real strategy re-
quires linkage of the military
effort in Iraq with Syria, he
said.
Rhodes said the U.S. was
actively considering whats
going to be necessary to deal
with that threat. Speaking
on the Massachusetts island
of Marthas Vineyard, where
Obama is on vacation, Rhodes
said: Weve shown time and
again that if theres a counter-
terrorism threat, well take di-
rect action against that threat,
if necessary.
The recent execution of
journalist James Foley could
be seen as a turning point in
a long-running battle against
the group, whose origins are
in an al-Qaida offshoot that
U.S. forces faced in Iraq sev-
eral years ago, he said. Foleys
killing, he added, was an at-
tack on our country.
Obama faces tough deci-
sions.
He can continue helping
Iraqi forces try to reverse the
groups land grabs in north-
ern Iraq by providing more
arms and American military
advisers and by using U.S.
warplanes to support Iraqi
ground operations. On Friday,
the Pentagon announced that
U.S. warplanes made three
more airstrikes against Islam-
ic State targets near the Mosul
Dam, including a machine
gun position that was ring on
Iraqi forces.
But what if the militants
pull back, even partially, into
Syria and regroup, as De-
fense Secretary Chuck Hagel
on Thursday predicted they
would, followed by a renewed
offensive?
In a sense, youre just sort
of back to where you were,
said Robert Ford, a former
U.S. ambassador to Syria who
quit in February in disillusion-
ment over Obamas unwilling-
ness to arm moderate Syrian
rebels.
I dont see how you can
contain the Islamic State over
the medium term if you dont
address their base of opera-
tions in Syria, he said in an
interview before intensi-
ed U.S. airstrikes this week
helped Kurdish and Iraqi forc-
es recapture the Mosul Dam.
Gen. Martin Dempsey,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, said Thursday the Islamic
State militants can be contained
only so long and at some point
their Syrian sanctuary will have
to be dealt with.
Can they be defeated with-
out addressing that part of their
organization which resides in
Syria? The answer is no, he
told a Pentagon news confer-
ence where Hagel called the
group a dire threat that requires
an international, not just an
American, response.
That (sanctuary) will
have to be addressed on both
sides of what is essentially at
this point a nonexistent bor-
der, Dempsey added. And
that will come when we have
a coalition in the region that
takes on the task of defeating
ISIS over time, he said, using
an alternate acronym for the
group. ISIS will only truly
be defeated when its rejected
by the 20 million disenfran-
chised Sunni that happen to
reside between Damascus and
Baghdad.
Ofcial: US wont let borders hamper ght vs. extremists

WASHINGTON (AP)
Seeking to quell a politi-
cally charged controversy, the
Obama administration an-
nounced new measures Friday
to allow religious nonprots
and some companies to opt
out of paying for birth control
for female employees while
still ensuring those employees
have access to contraception.
Even so, the accommoda-
tions may not fully satisfy
religious groups who oppose
any system that makes them
complicit in providing cover-
age they believe is immoral.
Effective immediately,
the U.S. will start allowing
faith-afliated charities, col-
leges and hospitals to notify
the government rather than
their insurers that they ob-
ject to birth control on reli-
gious grounds.
A previous accommoda-
tion offered by the Obama
administration allowed those
nonprots to avoid paying for
birth control by sending their
insurers a document called
Form 700, which transfers
responsibility for paying for
birth control from the employ-
er to the insurer. But Roman
Catholic bishops and other
religious plaintiffs argued just
submitting that form was like
signing a permission slip to
engage in evil.
In a related move, the ad-
ministration announced plans
to allow for-prot corpora-
tions like Hobby Lobby Inc. to
start using Form 700. The Su-
preme Court ruled in June that
the government cant force
companies like Hobby Lobby
to pay for birth control, send-
ing the administration scram-
bling for a way to ensure their
employees can still get birth
control one way or another at
no added cost.
The dual decisions mark
the Obama administrations
latest effort to address a long-
running conict that has pit-
ted the White House against
churches and other religious
groups. The dispute has
sparked dozens of legal chal-
lenges, fueling an election-
year debate about whether re-
ligious liberty should trump a
womans access to health care
options.
Todays announcement
reinforces our commitment
to providing women with ac-
cess to coverage for contra-
ception, while respecting reli-
gious considerations raised by
nonprot organizations and
closely held for-prot com-
panies, said Health and Hu-
man Services Secretary Sylvia
Burwell.

donors, specically through social media. (AP Photo/Courtesy George

Ice bucket challenge may change nonprot world
FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) Conditions calmed this week in
Ferguson after nights of sometimes violent unrest stemming
from the fatal shooting of a black 18-year-old by a white police
ofcer. But a delicate and crucial question lingers: What hap-
pens if the grand jury now considering the case doesnt return
a charge against the ofcer?
The fear among some local residents and ofcials trying to
maintain peace in Ferguson is that failure to charge the ofcer
could stoke new anger among a community profoundly mis-
trustful of the legal system. Many say they just hope the grand
jurys decision, whatever it is, has irrefutable facts to back it up.
U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill told The Associated Press shes
pushing for federal and local investigations to be completed
around the same time so that all evidence in the case can be
made public a step many consider important should pros-
ecutors decide not to charge the ofcer. Her ofce said Friday
that the Department of Justice hasnt given a timeline for the
federal investigation, which centers on whether a civil rights
violation occurred when ofcer Darren Wilson fatally shot the
unarmed Michael Brown Aug. 9.
McCaskill, a former prosecutor in Missouri, said shes
hopeful the physical evidence in the case including blood
spatter patterns, clothing and shell casings will provide in-
controvertible facts about what happened during the shooting.
She said whatever local prosecutors decide, it will be important
to explain the decision by providing that physical evidence, and
that wont be possible if the federal investigation is ongoing.
McCaskill said she urged Attorney General Eric Holder
during a meeting earlier this week to speed up what is typically
a lengthier federal process.
New fear: What happens
in Ferguson if no charges?

WASHINGTON (AP) A fourth straight monthly increase
in sales of existing homes provided the latest evidence Thurs-
day that the U.S. housing market is rebounding from a weak
start to the year.
Housing has been a drag on an otherwise strengthening
economy, in part because a harsh winter delayed many sales.
But Americans are stepping up purchases as more homes have
been put up for sale. And low mortgage rates and moderating
price gains have made homes more affordable.
The momentum is in the right direction, said Andrew La-
belle, an economist at TD Bank who noted that the past four
months have marked the fastest four-month sales gain since
2011. Sustained jobs gains, as well as the fall in mortgage
rates since the beginning of the year, appear to have unleashed
at least some pent-up demand.
Sales of existing homes rose 2.4 percent in July to a season-
ally adjusted annual rate of 5.15 million, the National Asso-
ciation of Realtors said Thursday. That was the highest annual
rate since September of last year.
The increase follows other encouraging signs that the hous-
ing market is improving. The pace of home construction starts
surged 15.7 percent in July to a seasonally adjusted annual rate
of 1.1 million homes, the government said this week. Appli-
cations for building permits, a gauge of future activity, also
strengthened last month.
And a survey of homebuilders released Monday showed that
they were more condent about future sales.
The encouraging readings contrast with reports earlier this
year, when weak sales and limited building led economists to
characterize housing as a faltering piece of the economic re-
covery. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen and Vice Chairman
Stanley Fischer had pointed to housing as an economic weak
spot.
Economists noted that housing still hasnt fully recovered
from its slowdown earlier this year. The annual sales pace re-
mains 4.3 percent below last Julys rate. And construction has
merely returned to its pace in October; it has yet to exceed it.
Yet economists say theyre encouraged by signs that the lat-
est sales gains are sustainable.
Stephanie Karol, an economist at IHS Global Insight, said
a virtuous cycle is emerging: More homeowners are listing
their properties for sale. A greater supply of homes then en-
courages more potential buyers to take the plunge. And that, in
turn, helps sustain modest price gains, which lead more people
to sell.
This is exactly the sort of pattern we want to see, Karol
said.
