Goodbye Neil Armstrong

8 DAYS til THE AMAZING RACE to REMEMBER

TODAY’S

2316931

SEPT. 21, 2012 Sponsored By: Dorothy Love, Fair Haven & Pavilion

BY SETH BORENSTEIN The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation bid farewell Thursday to Neil Armstrong, the first man to take a giant leap onto the moon. The pioneers of space, the powerful of the capital and the everyday public crowded into the Washington National

Cathedral for a public interfaith memorial for the very private astronaut. Armstrong, who died last month in Ohio at age 82, walked on the moon in July 1969. “He’s now slipped the bonds of Earth once again, but what a legacy he left,” former Treasury Secretary John Snow told the gathering. Apollo 11 crewmates Buzz Aldrin and

Michael Collins, Mercury astronaut John Glenn, 18 other astronauts, three NASA chiefs, and about two dozen members of Congress were among the estimated 1,500 people that joined Armstrong’s widow, Carol, and other family members in the cavernous cathedral. Collins read a prayer tailored to Armstrong’s accomplishments and humility. See ARMSTRONG/Page 10A

Staring out the window of his pickup, slowly trailing the hearse bearing his brother’s body, Will Copes’ eyes blurred with tears. In a few minutes he and his brother would be home, back to a town preoccupied with the first week of school and plans for weekend barbecues. A place far removed from an unrelenting, but all too easily forgotten war. Until now. “It looked like people were lined up for the Christmas parade, but they were there for my brother — and for us,” Copes says, his voice breaking as he recounts the Aug. 24 procession down Main Street in Altavista, Va. A week after Staff Sgt. Greg Copes, 36, and a fellow American Marine were killed by an Afghan police officer they’d been training, his casket was met by firefighters flying the Stars and Stripes from atop a ladder truck. Hundreds in the town of 3,500 lined the curb to pay respects. At Altavista’s high school, students and teachers filed from their classrooms, framing the parking lot in a corridor of honor. “I saw kids waving flags. I saw kids crying,” Will Copes says. “If they had forgotten, they had been woken up by a lightning bolt. … And I think that happens around the country, every day.” Eleven years after the U.S. began battling to rid Afghanistan of al-Qaida and the Taliban, the war has ebbed from the headlines. The question of just how to end it is rarely mentioned in the speeches of this year’s presidential campaign. Polls find most Americans just want it over. Families of soldiers killed in action despair that many of their fellow citizens have neither the time nor the patience to grapple with the complexities of the conflict or to appreciate the sacrifice of the soldiers fighting it.

DR. WALLACE: My boyfriend is an addicted body builder and spends at least three hours per evening lifting weights at a local gym. The only day he doesn’t lift weights is on Sunday, and that’s when we can spend quality time together. Joe has been “encouraging” me to join him lifting weights at the gym once or twice a week. I’d love to, but I’ve got a nice body shape and I don’t want to look like a muscle-bound female. I talked with the gym manager and he said several women lift weights just to tone their bodies and that women cannot bulk up as men do. He didn’t explain. Did he give me true facts or a “con job”? - Megan, Buffalo, N.Y. MEGAN: Females have 10 percent more fat than men in their total body weight. Because of this, it is physiologically impossible for them to build the same muscle masses as males. Also, females do not produce the sex hormone testosterone (only males do), which promotes muscle growth. At Indiana University, all of the women’s intercollegiate teams use weight training. A trainer at IU said there was a gain in strength and muscle tone but no increase in bulk. It appears the gym manager knows a lot about lifting for both men and women.

Struthers charged with DUI OGUNQUIT, Maine (AP) — Actress Sally Struthers has denied driving drunk in Maine, where she’s appearing in a musical. Police say Struthers was arrested early Wednesday after being pulled over on U.S. Route

CITY

1 in the southern resort town Ogunquit. She was charged with criminal operating under the influence and posted $160 bail. The 65-year-old Struthers is best known for her role as Gloria Stivic in the 1970s TV sitcom “All in the Family”

and later for heart-tugging ads seeking money for children’s charities. She has been performing at the Ogunquit Playhouse in the musical “9 to 5.” A publicist says Struthers denies the charges against her.

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Friday, Sept. 14, the 258th day of 2012. There are 108 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 14, 1814, Francis Scott Key was moved to write a poem after witnessing how an American flag flying over Maryland’s Fort McHenry withstood a night of British bombardment during the War of 1812; the poem, “Defence of Fort McHenry,” later became the words to “The Star-Spangled Banner.” On this date: ■ In 1712, Italian-born French astronomer Gian Domenico Cassini, discoverer of four of Saturn’s moons, died in Paris. ■ In 1812, Napoleon Bonaparte’s troops entered Moscow following the Battle of Borodino to find the Russian city largely abandoned and parts set ablaze. ■ In 1829, the Treaty of Adrianople was signed, ending war between Russia and the Ottoman Empire. ■ In 1861, the first naval engagement of the Civil War took place as the USS Colorado attacked and sank the Confederate private schooner Judah off Pensacola, Fla. ■ In 1901, President William McKinley died in Buffalo, N.Y., of gunshot wounds inflicted by an assassin. Vice President Theodore Roosevelt succeeded him. ■ In 1927, modern dance pioneer Isadora Duncan died in Nice (nees), France, when her scarf became entangled in a wheel of the sports car she was riding in. ■ In 1941, Vermont passed a resolution enabling its servicemen to receive wartime bonuses by declaring the U.S. to be in a state of armed conflict, giving rise to headlines that Vermont had “declared war on Germany.” ■ In 1964, Pope Paul VI opened the third session of the Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican, also known as “Vatican II.” (The session closed two months later.) ■ In 1972, the family drama “The Waltons” premiered on CBS. In 1982, Princess Grace of Monaco, formerly actress Grace Kelly, died at age 52 of injuries from a car crash the day before; Lebanon’s president-elect, Bashir Gemayel, was killed by a bomb. ■ In 1986, President Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy, appeared together on radio and television to appeal for a “national crusade” against drug abuse. ■ In 1991, the government of South Africa, the African National Congress and the Inkatha Freedom Party signed a national peace pact.

Zeus is one tall dog OTSEGO, Mich. (AP) — A Great Dane from Michigan is doggone tall. The Guinness World Records 2013 book published Thursday recognizes Zeus of Otsego, Mich., as the world’s Tallest Dog. The 3-year-old measures 44 inches from foot to shoulder. Standing on his hind legs, Zeus stretches to 7foot-4 and towers over his owner, Denise Doorlag. Zeus is just an inch taller than the previous recordholder, Giant George. Zeus weighs 155 pounds and eats a 30pound bag of food every two weeks. Doorlag says she had to get a van to be able to transport Zeus.

Fed unveils open-ended steps to aid economy WASHINGTON (AP) — Alarmed by the chronically weak U.S. economy, the Federal Reserve launched an aggressive new effort Thursday to boost the stock market and make borrowing cheaper for years to come. And it made clear it won’t stop there and is ready to try other stimulative measures if hiring doesn’t pick up. Stock prices rocketed up in approval. But economists said the Fed’s plans to buy mortgage bonds for as long as it deems necessary and to keep interest rates at record lows until mid-2015 — six months longer than previously planned — might provide little benefit to the economy. Chairman Ben Bernanke

himself cautioned that the Fed’s actions are no panacea for slow growth and high unemployment, and said the economy will probably need help even after the recovery strengthens. “The idea is to quicken the recovery,” Bernanke said at a news conference after the Fed lowered its outlook for growth this year. As part of its bold and open-ended plan, the Fed said it would spend $40 billion a month to buy mortgage bonds to make home buying more affordable. That will be the third round of bond-buying in an effort to spur the economy, and the Fed left open the possibility of taking other steps to encourage borrowing and financial risk-taking.

Stock prices rose steadily after the Fed’s announcement at 12:30 p.m. Eastern time. The Dow Jones industrial average closed up more than 200 points, coming within 625 points — or 4.6 percent — of its all-time high. Other stock averages also surged. The Fed’s policy committee announced the actions after its monthly two-day meeting. The moves pointed to how sluggish the U.S. and global economies remain more than three years after the Great Recession ended. Thursday’s announcement marked the Fed’s latest dramatic intervention since the financial crisis erupted in 2008 and the recession sent unemployment into double

digits. The Fed cut its benchmark short-term rate to near zero and has kept it there for nearly four years. And it’s bought more than $2 trillion in Treasurys and mortgage bonds to try to drive down long-term rates. Yet for all that, the U.S. economy is still struggling. The unemployment rate is 8.1 percent. And the Fed estimated Thursday that the rate will fall no lower than 7.6 percent in 2013. The Fed’s latest actions came a week after the European Central Bank announced its most ambitious plan yet to ease Europe’s financial crisis by buying unlimited amounts of government bonds to help countries manage their debts.

IN THIS Wednesday photo, a Libyan man holds a placard in English during a demonstration against the attack on the U.S. consulate that killed four Americans, including the ambassador, in Benghazi, Libya. The attacks against U.S. diplomatic targets appear part of wider power plays by Salafis and other extremists to challenge the leadership struggling for stability in places such Egypt and Libya.

U.S. consulate attack in Libya was twin operation BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) — Heavily armed militants used a protest of an anti-Islam film as a cover and may have had help from inside Libyan security in their deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate, a senior Libyan official said Thursday. As Libya announced the first four arrests, the clearest picture yet emerged of a twopronged assault with militants screaming “God is great!” as they scaled the consulate’s outer walls and descended on the compound’s main building. The rampage killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. Eastern Libya’s deputy interior minister, Wanis elSharef, said a mob first stormed the consulate Tuesday night and then, hours later, raided a safe house in the compound just as U.S. and Libyan security arrived to evacuate the staff. That suggested, el-Sharef said, that infiltrators within the security forces may have tipped off the

Filmmaker identified WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal authorities identified a Southern California man who is on federal probation for financial crimes as the key figure behind an anti-Muslim film that has spawned mob violence against American embassies across the Mideast, a U.S. law enforcement official told The Associated Press on Thursday. There was no sign of Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, at his family’s home Thursday in Cerritos outside Los Angeles, as details slowly began to emerge about his checkered past, his connections among Southern California’s rightwing Christian organizations and his central role in the production of the film. militants to the safe house’s location. The attacks were suspected to have been timed to coincide with the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist strike in the United States, elSharef added, with the militants using the film protest by Libyan civilians to mask their action. Killed in the attack were U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, information management officer Sean Smith, pri-

vate security guard Glen Doherty and one other American who has yet to be identified. El-Sharef said four people were arrested at their homes Thursday, but he refused to give any further details. He said it was too early to say if the suspects belonged to a particular group or what their motive was. Libya’s new prime minister, Mustafa AbuShakour, said authorities were looking for more suspects.

Rebel fears reprisal attacks AZAZ, Syria (AP) — A Syrian rebel commander holding 10 Lebanese Shiites hostage said Thursday he is willing to release the men but fears doing so could set off a wave of reprisal attacks by Sunni extremists. What began as an effort to force Lebanon’s Shiite militant group Hezbollah to stop supporting the Syrian regime has become the latest flashpoint in a conflict with growing sectarian overtones. The rebel leader behind the kidnappings, Ammar al-Dadikhli, is a burly former crossborder trader who goes by the nom de guerre Abu Ibrahim. His 1,200-strong Northern Storm Brigade controls the vital crossing from Syria’s Aleppo province into neighboring Turkey, and in May he ordered the seizure of the Lebanese Shiites, who had been on a bus

tour of religious sites in the area, on the grounds they belonged to Hezbollah. He said the kidnappings were aimed at persuading Hezbollah, a strident backer of President Bashar Assad, to reconsider its commitment to the Syrian regime. Instead it set off a string of revenge kidnappings by Shiite clansmen inside Lebanon, with two Turks and some 20 Syrians being snatched by gunmen. All but four of the Syrians have since been released, with the last Turk freed Thursday night. The stakes are high. If anything were to happen to the Lebanese hostages, who by all accounts have been well treated, it would ignite Shiite rage and set fire to Lebanon’s already delicate sectarian balance. On Aug. 24, Abu Ibrahim moved to defuse

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City cracked down on the sale of supersized sodas and other sugary drinks Thursday in what was celebrated by some as a groundbreaking attempt to curb obesity but condemned by others as a blatant intrusion into people’s lives by a busybody mayor. health experts Public around the nation — and the restaurant and soft-drink industry — will be watching closely to see how it goes over among New Yorkers, a famously disputatious bunch. Barring any court action, the measure will take effect in March. The regulations, approved easily by the city Board of Health, apply to any establishment with a food-service license, including fast-food places, delis, movie and Broadway theaters, the concession stands at Yankee Stadium and the pizzerias of Little Italy. They will be barred from serving sugary beverages in cups or bottles larger than 16 ounces. No other U.S. city has gone so far as to restrict portion sizes at restaurants to fight weight gain. “We cannot continue to have our kids come down with diabetes at age 6,” said Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The mayor rejected suggestions that the rule constitutes an assault on personal liberty. “Nobody is banning anything,” he said, noting that restaurant customers can still buy as much soda as they want, as long as they are willing to carry it in multiple containers. He said the inconvenience is well worth the potential public health benefit, and likened the city’s actions to measures taken decades ago to phase out lead in household paint. Others, though, likened the ban to Prohibition. A New York Times poll last month showed that six in 10 New Yorkers opposed the restrictions. “It’s a slippery slope. When does it stop? What comes next?” said Sebastian Lopez, a college student from Queens. He added: “This is my life. I should be able to do what I want.” The restrictions do not apply to supermarkets or most convenience stores, because such establishments are not subject to Board of Health regulation. And there are exceptions for beverages made mostly of milk or unsweetened fruit juice. (Because convenience stores are exempt, the rules don’t even apply to 7-Eleven’s Big Gulp, even though the belly-busting serving of soda has become Exhibit A in the debate over Americans’ eating habits.)

The one-room schoolhouse, now on Anderson Road was built in 1887, but moved to this location in 2010. A ringing of the school desk bell was done to start the evening. Elsass narrated a slide presentation about moving the school from Wenger Road to its current location. The school was closed in 1925, with the original paddle still in place and currently hanging in the building. The wainscotting, the floors and the window frames are all original. There is a 38-

Ohioans to get more Sentencing delayed details on redistricting issue OHIO

NEWS BRIEFS

LEBANON (AP) — Sentencing has been delayed for a 17-year-old Ohio boy who authorities called one of the most prolific drug dealers in the Cincinnati area. Warren County Juvenile Court Judge Mike Powell rescheduled Tuesday’s sentencing of Tyler Pagenstecher (PEG’-ehn-steck-er) of Mason to Oct. 22. The move came at the request of Pagenstecher’s attorney. He told the judge that Pagenstecher was doing well in an “intensive� substance abuse program that ends Oct. 11, and he wanted him to continue the treatment uninterrupted. Pagenstecher has pleaded guilty to drug-trafficking charges and faces imprisonment in a juvenile jail until he turns 21. Authorities say he played a major role in a drug ring that sold as much as $20,000 worth of highgrade marijuana a month to fellow high school students in and around his suburb.

Ohio man sentenced for stealing uniform NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — A 52-year-old Ohio man has been sentenced to two years in prison for stealing a Navy uniform as well as transporting a stolen vehicle across state lines. Michael R. Jacobs was sentenced in federal court in Norfolk on Thursday. Prosecutors say Jacobs stole the uniform from a Navy Exchange to impersonate an admiral. He first got the attention of Navy investigators when other sailors noticed him wearing the uniform incorrectly at Naval Air Station Oceana. The vehicle theft was from an unrelated case. Prosecutors say he took a vehicle from a San Antonio, Texas, dealership in 2010 for a test drive and never returned it. Eventually, he brought the vehicle to Virginia. Jacobs pleaded guilty to the charges in March.

Beer truck overturns SPRINGFIELD (AP) — Authorities say a tractor-trailer carrying 40,000 pounds of beer overturned in southwestern Ohio early Thursday morning, closing one lane of interstate traffic for more than eight hours. State Highway Patrol says the truck was traveling eastbound on I-70 at about 2 a.m. when it struck a guard rail and overturned a few miles east of Springfield. Some beer cases scattered onto the highway. Lt. Matt Cleaveland said the 39-year-old driver of the truck had minor injuries, but refused medical treatment. Cleaveland said Shmavon Afanasev of North Hollywood, Calif., told officers he fell asleep behind the wheel. He was then given a traffic citation. Cleaveland said most of the beer had to be unloaded before the truck could be turned back over, and one lane was closed until about 10:30 a.m.

Jury ends first day of deliberations CLEVELAND (AP) — Jurors have ended their first day of deliberations without a verdict in the trial of 16 people accused of hate crimes in hairand beard-cutting attacks against fellow Amish in Ohio. The jury began considering charges Thursday morning in U.S. District Court in Cleveland. The members of a breakaway Amish settlement are accused of hate crimes in what federal prosecutors say were attacks motivated by religious differences. They say the defendants cut off Amish men’s beards and women’s hair because the hair carries spiritual significance in their faith. Defense attorneys acknowledge that the haircuttings took place but contend that prosecutors are overreaching by calling them hate crimes. They told jurors to use common sense in deciding the verdict. All the defendants could face lengthy prison terms if convicted.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio voters will see an expanded description of a proposed redistricting amendment on fall ballots, but the issue’s backers say the language is still cumbersome. The Ohio Ballot Board agreed in a party-line vote Thursday to new ballot language for Issue 2. The vote came a day after the panel was scolded by the state Supreme Court for approving earlier language that was incomplete and inaccurate. At Thursday’s emergency meeting, Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted’s office proposed as a starting point new language that added paragraphs of exact phrasing from the lengthy amendment, which he and others in his party have criticized as convoluted. Democrats and Voters First, the group behind the proposal, said that a more concise, clear summary was possible. “What we’re struggling with on our side is we don’t want to swap misleading for confusing,� said Democratic board member Fred Strahorn. Husted said any summary risked not pleasing the court and delaying distribution of ballots in the key battleground state. “This language is probably belt and suspenders to make sure we cover what they want us to cover,� Husted said. He said the state has just eight days to get ballots

finalized and printed. Thursday’s turn of events followed a lawsuit filed by Voters First arguing that the Ballot Board’s original wording left out key elements of its proposal. Its amendment creates a 12member panel through a multistep process. That involves an application process, the Chief Justice selecting a bipartisan group of appellate judges to winnow the field to 42, a chance for lawmakers of both parties to reject some of their choices, and then a lottery to choose the first nine commission members from three pools. Three would be from the majority political party, three from the minority and three unaffiliated. Those nine people would select the final three panelists, again one of each party and one unaffiliated. The amendment also calls for the commission’s records to be public and its meetings to be open, and it establishes some parameters for setting up a budget. It establishes goals for establishing the districts, adding a caveat that they must comply with existing the state and federal laws and constitutions. The ballot language as approved last month stated the amendment would “remove the authority of elected representatives and grant new authority to appointed officials� to create the

maps — a key talking point of the issue’s opponents. That language remained after Wednesday’s vote. A previous summary describing the commission as being created “from a limited pool of applicants� — without describing how the pool would be selected — was kept, but six lengthy paragraphs plucked from the full amendment were added. Cleveland attorney Mark Griffin, a Democrat on the board, was against the move. “It shouldn’t require three years of law school to understand an issue,� he said. Board member and state Sen. Keith Faber, a Republican, retorted, “Let’s not be confused. The legalese is language from the actual amendment.� The high court said earlier ballot language was flawed because it said nothing about who would do the appointing or the rules for doing it. Justices also noted that an appointment process might not be any less political than one involving elected officials. Justices said the language could at least mention the proposed process intends to maximize the number of political balanced districts, balance those leaning toward either political party and avoid favoring or disfavoring any particular party. Such a paragraph pulled from the actual amendment was added.

Obama rep pledges further Great Lakes restoration TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — President Barack Obama, if reelected, would continue a program that has pumped more than $1 billion into Great Lakes protection during his first term, although it’s uncertain how much money will be available in the future, a spokeswoman said Thursday. Carol Browner, the president’s former energy and climate adviser and a previous Environmental Protection Agency chief, also said a second Obama administration would push ahead with efforts to prevent Asian carp from reaching the Great Lakes. But she said it was too early to take a position on placing barriers in Chicago-area waterways to block the carp’s path to Lake Michigan, a step favored by most states in the Great Lakes region but opposed by Illinois and local business groups. “The president does take his responsibilities toward the Great Lakes very seriously,� Browner said during a candidates’

forum that wrapped up the annual Great Lakes Restoration Conference in Cleveland. More than 600 environmental activists, business leaders and government officials were registered to attend. Republican challenger Mitt Romney’s campaign did not send a representative to the forum, although organizers said earlier this week that both sides had been invited and would take part. Spokesman Christopher Maloney said in an email that scheduling conflicts prevented the Romney campaign from participating. He said Romney would continue “restoration efforts� if elected but offered no details. Obama’s administration kicked off the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative in 2009 to deal with longstanding problems that scientists say are causing ecological damage and harming the region’s economy. The lakes make up 95 percent of the nation’s surface freshwater and supply more than 30 million people with drinking water.

Congress has approved Obama’s requests totaling more than $1 billion for the program. It has funded hundreds of projects to fight invasive species, restore wildlife habitat, clean up toxic hot spots and prevent runoff that causes harmful algae blooms. But supporters say more is needed. Obama has pledged to fund the initiative at least through 2014, and presidential counselor Pete Rouse said in February the administration was “interested in continuing� it even longer. “The president has a very strong record and I think it is very fair to assume he will continue this commitment, he will continue to build on it,� Browner said Thursday. But with the prospect of deep across-the-board cuts if Congress and the president don’t strike a deficit reduction deal after the election, it’s premature to promise a specific amount of money, she said. Browner said Obama is awaiting results of an Army Corps of Engineers

study before deciding whether to support severing a century-old, manmade connection between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River watersheds at Chicago. The administration has promised a report by the end of 2013. “It wouldn’t be appropriate for anybody to prejudge the outcome,� Browner said. Maloney, the Romney spokesman, said the Obama administration is moving too slowly. “As president, Governor Romney will accelerate the Army Corps process and ensure that they develop a plan as soon as possible to protect both the ecology and economy of the region,� he said. Five states — Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio and Pennsylvania — are suing the federal government to separate the two water systems. A study this year by groups representing the region’s states and cities proposed several methods of doing so, with costs ranging up to $9.5 billion.

Athletic complex becoming reality HOUSTON — The Houston Athletic Complex is finally taking a finished form. The track is in place, and the ball diamonds are well under development. Ryan Maier is the principal for grades 7 through 12, and has been assisting with the oversight of the project. He explains that a steering committee of five volunteers has worked very hard to make the complex a reality. Maier says that these volunteers and many others who have donated their time and money deserve the credit for what is taking place. Assistant track coach Bill McKinney in one the many individuals who donate a lot of time to the fundraising activities. They have raised around $200,000 in private and corporate contributions. There have been long-distance runs, ball drops, engraved paving stones and dedication blocks sold and to keep the project rolling. The Community Foundation of Shelby County

Maier says that he cannot know the future of the funding flow, but so far, all funds involved in the athletic complex have been from donations. Maier points out that people have done much volunteer work to help hold down costs. He cites as an example some of the fencing being installed for one of the ball diamonds. The volunteer labor being provided will save several thousand dollars.

Houston graduate Brian Feathers is one of the many volunteers helping to make the complex a reality. He works for Kah Nursery, the company doing much of the work on the ball diamonds. Maier says that such volunteers take a sense of pride in seeing the school project moving along. While the traditional varsity baseball filed will not be moved, there will now be ball diamonds for use by girls fast-pitch teams, tee-ball, G-Ball and Pee-

Wee practice fields. Maier noted that getting the girls fast-pitch filed ready is a top priority. He says that the overall project is roughly 60 percent finished, and one goal is to have all fencing completed this year. Dugouts are being installed for the girls fastpitch field and one of the smaller diamonds. It is hoped that footers can be put in this year, and roofs and walls next year. Regulations also require the installation of restrooms within 500

New Spanish teacher welcomed BY TERRY PELLMAN RUSSIA — Russia School has started the academic year with a new Spanish teacher who has an interesting life story. Luciano Tacuri is a native of Bolivia. The 34-year-old has experienced many dramatic changes in his life. He originally came to America in 1996 at age 16. The victim of a major burn accident at age 8, he underwent several rounds of surgery in his home country. To provide him with the higher level of medical burn treatment and skin graft technology available in America, arrangements were made through the an aid organization for him to be treated at the Shriners Hospital. A volunteer from Food for the Hungry initiated the chain of events that brought Tacuri to the United States. Tacuri describes the scenario as “…almost like a miracle.” His injuries resulted from a mishap involving a flammable mixture, a hazard that was due to the fact that the village he was in did not have electricity, and the residents had to sometime improvise in some tasks. The youth left his home and family to go to a strange country where he could not speak the language. He noted, “It makes you grow up fast. You mature, become responsible and independent at an early age.” He acknowledges that it was difficult to make such a move at an age when one wants to be doing things with friends. He recalls that

while he did not originally set out to become a teacher, he had always enjoyed the days of his youth when he would teach and mentor his sister, nieces and other youngsters around him. He also had worked for some time at a boarding school in Indiana, so he knew that working with young people would be a career that he would enjoy. He enjoys studying languages, and has found that having to learn English taught him to appreciate the grammatical structure and conjugation of verbs in those languages he already spoke. Tacuri taught for one year at Jefferson Township High School near Dayton but is very happy to now be teaching at Russia. The community and the eagerness of the students to learn impress him. Asked what surprised him the most about America, Tacuri spoke of being stunned by the highway system. He also points out the role that motion pictures play in shaping the image of America in the eyes of those who live around the world. Tacuri tries to travel back to Bolivia every two to three years, but he has made America his new home. Overall, he has found Ohio to be a comfortable environment Tacuri now speaks English fluently and enjoys the culture here. He has come to appreciate America’s small towns and the role that churches play. Tacuri has also been impressed by the generosity and acceptance of the American people.

feet of dugouts. As with any construction, even those things such as dugouts and concession stands, require many building approvals and inspections. Dugouts will also serve as storage facilities. In the future, there will be a concession stand on the site. A parking lot has already been constructed. Maier explains that the Hardin fields cannot be abandoned until the grass is established at the Houston complex. He adds that much of the progress will depend on the weather. When all is done, the school system will have two more ball fields that it currently has, and should be able to better accommodate the large demand that currently exists for youth team facilities. Some activities in the various leagues end up at the field at the church in Newport. Many of these games are still being held on the two existing diamonds at the site of the recently demolished Hardin Elementary school building. The scoreboard at Hardin

will be used at the new Houston complex. Having an approved track will now open the way for sanctioned track and field meets to be held at Houston for the first time in decades. The site did host a junior high meet this past year. The new track will have walkways and ramps around it. The old cinder track upon which Houston boys track squads dominated the Shelby County track scene for many consecutive years in the 50s and 60s was replaced by one covered in limestone. That old, misshapen track is not even any longer a part of the school grounds. With the construction of the new school complex, followed by these improvements for the athletic, the HardinHouston district will have undergone a complete transformation of facilities. A complete status report on the project can be viewed at the school district’s website. It contains information on construction progress, and matter regarding funding.

IN THIS May 3 photo provided by the Tennessee National Guard, Ashley Edens leans on the casket of her husband, Spc. Jason Edens, in Smyrna, Tenn. Spc. Edens was killed April 15 during combat in Afghanistan. Eleven years after the U.S. began battling to rid Afghanistan of al-Qaida and the Taliban, the war has ebbed from the headlines. The question of just how to end it is barely mentioned in the speeches of this year’s presidential campaign. Polls find most Americans just want it over.

“People don’t understand. We’re not fighting it on our soil,” says Geraldine McClain of Rochester Hills, Mich., whose son, Army Spc. Kyle McClain, was killed Aug. 1 when an improvised explosive device detonated in Kandahar Province. He’d been in Afghanistan just six weeks. “They’re enjoying their life, eating out, going to soccer. They fill up their car and gripe about gas. Unless they’ve been touched by a soldier’s life, they take it for granted.” That is, until a community must welcome a dead soldier home. So far, 1,980 American fighters have been killed in Afghanistan. A recent surge of insider attacks by Afghan security forces has claimed the lives of 40 allied combatants, according to a report by the Brookings Institution. Americans may have pushed the war from their everyday consciousness. But losing neighbors and classmates, losing a Greg Copes or a Kyle McClain, keeps turning a distant war into an anguished and very personal reality. Until Pfc. Dustin Gross of Jeffersonville, Ky., was killed by an IED on May 7, most people in the area had matters other than the war on their minds. “Seems like times are getting harder and I think that’s what most people are focused on, just everyday living,” says his mother, Angie Brown. But Gross was just 19 when he died, only a year from the graduation stage at Montgomery County High School, where many people still remembered him as the football team’s running back. More than 2,000 people came to his funeral, held in the high school gymnasium and most businesses in Mt. Sterling, including the local Walmart, closed for at least an hour, to pay respect. “This community here was in so much shock,” Brown says. “They’re, like, this could’ve been my son or my daughter. And now they feel like they need to do something besides just

sit and wait. It’s opened their eyes up.” Brown had been sending her son care packages filled with favorites like Jolly Ranchers candy and beef jerky. After his death, his hometown embraced the idea, organizing Operation Dustin Gross to assemble and send packages to military units. In the next few weeks, a third wave of more than 1,500 packages will be shipped to Afghanistan from this community east of Lexington. The county has always sent a number of its young people to the military, but Gross’ death reminded people and made the war real, his mother says. McClain’s mother would understand. Even before Kyle McClain was killed at 25, she tried to build awareness of the war. Dozens of children come to Geraldine McClain’s home for piano lessons and she took care to explain the flag hanging in the dining room window — one with a blue star (OOTC:BUSRF) to remember a soldier serving overseas, replaced by another with a gold star, to grieve for a soldier who had given his life. At her students’ June recital, McClain purposely included “The Star Spangled Banner” and other patriotic songs. “We don’t just talk about Mozart and Bach,” she says. Some families of the dead say they’re troubled as news coverage has shifted away from Afghanistan. But they try to make peace with it. “Yes, it bothers me, but in a way, I understand. … It’s just been so long and everybody else is tired of hearing about it,” says Cynthia Holcomb of Columbus, Ohio, whose son, paratrooper Russell R. Bell, was killed Aug. 2 in Kandahar Province from wounds inflicted by an IED. Bell, father of a year-old son, was nearing the end of his fourth tour of duty. “I think people would rather not focus on it because it’s painful, it’s hard to hear,” says Earl Copes,

From Page 1 a second brother of the Virginia Marine killed last month. “When things are uncomfortable, it’s easier not to think about it.” But losing a local soldier hammers home the war’s impact. Now people stop Angie Brown in the supermarket aisles to offer comfort. When she goes to the cemetery to visit her son’s grave, she often finds someone else there to pay respects. Will Copes says his family has received cards and letters of support from around the world. But he starts crying only when he begins to talk about his hometown, and the many, many people who may not have known his brother, but stopped their lives to stand along a curb and raise a flag in his honor. “It’s just a small town,” he says. “But it’s good people.” ——— AP writers Betsy Blaney, Kristin M.

APOLLO 17 mission commander Gene Cernan, the last man to walk on the moon, looks skyward during a memorial service celebrating the life of Neil Armstrong at the Washington National Cathedral, Thursday. markable accomplishment with more dignity and more grace than Neil Armstrong,” Cernan said. “He embodied all that is good and all that is great about America.” Bolden read a letter from President Barack Obama saying, “the imprint he left on the surface of the moon is matched only by the extraordinary mark he left on ordinary Americans.” Armstrong commanded the historic landing of the Apollo 11 spacecraft on the moon July 20, 1969. His first words after stepping onto the moon are etched in history books: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Armstrong insisted later that he had said “a” before man, but said he, too, couldn’t hear it in the recording. Armstrong and Aldrin spent nearly three hours walking on the lunar surface while Collins circled above the moon. In all, 12 American astronauts walked on the moon before the last moon mission in 1972. Armstrong was a U.S. Navy aviator. He joined

NASA’s predecessor agency in 1955 as a civilian test pilot and later, as an astronaut, flew first in Gemini 8 in 1966. After the moon landing he spent a year in Washington as a top official at the space agency, but then he left NASA to teach aerospace engineering at the University of Cincinnati. He later was chairman of two electronics companies, but mostly kept out of the public eye. A private service was held earlier in suburban Cincinnati for Armstrong, who will be buried at sea. In her homily Thursday, the Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, Episcopal bishop for Washington, talked of how Armstrong sought to encourage young people to do even more, go even further. Among the crowd in the cathedral was 14year-old Shane DiGiovanna of Cincinnati, a young man who has spent his life grappling with an incurable skin disease and hearing loss. Shane idolized Armstrong and had always wanted to meet the first man on the moon, but it never happened. But the eighth-grader met Cernan and former Apollo 13 commander James Lovell when they recently announced a memorial fund named for Armstrong at Cincinnati’s Children’s Hospital Medical Center, where Shane has been treated. The Armstrong family invited Shane to join them at the Washington memorial service, something Shane called a “really big honor.” Just as Armstrong was working on the lunar lander after the Kennedy speech, Shane said he is now working on drawings of a lander for Mars. He wants to be an aerospace engineer. “I’m hoping,” Shane said, “to definitely contribute a lot to the next step.”

FORGOTTEN

A moon rock that the Apollo 11 astronauts gave the church in 1974 is embedded in one of its stained glass windows. “You have now shown once again the pathway to the stars,” Eugene Cernan, the last man to walk on the moon said in a tribute to Armstrong. “As you soar through the heavens beyond even where eagles dare to go, you can now finally put out your hand and touch the face of God.” Cernan was followed by a slow and solemn version of “Fly Me to the Moon” by singer Diana Krall. The service also included excerpts from a speech 50 years ago by John F. Kennedy in which he said America chose to send men to the moon by the end of the 1960s not because it was easy, but because it was hard. The scratchy recording of the young president said going to the moon was a goal that “will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we’re willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone.” Shortly after that speech in 1961 at Rice University, Armstrong, not yet an astronaut but always a gifted engineer, was already working on how to land a spaceship on the moon, NASA administrator Charles Bolden recalled. Snow talked of the 12-year-old Armstrong who built a wind tunnel. But most of Armstrong’s friends and colleagues spent time remembering the humble Armstrong. Snow called him a “regular guy” and “the most reluctant of heroes.” Bolden, a former astronaut, said Armstrong’s humility and courage “lifted him above the stars.” “No one, but no one, could have accepted the responsibility of his re-

juries. The American Academy of Pediatrics produced a paper that exonerates heading as a cause of permanent brain damage. Not all experts agree with this. What should be done until there is definitive evidence of the danger or lack of danger that comes from heading? First off, coaches need to teach the proper technique of heading to reduce the force of impact of ball with head. They should not allow children younger than 12 to head. They should minimize heading during practice and during games. What about helmets? They have been put to the test. They have been shown not to afford much protection to the head and brain. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Will you give your opinion on eating before playing? I play tennis regularly with the same

group. Before I play, I always have something to eat. My fellow players tell me I shouldn’t. They say that the rise in blood sugar from eating carbohydrates will cause a release of insulin that actually drops blood sugar quickly. According to them, I won’t have enough energy to play well. From my own perception of how I feel, I disagree. How about you? — M.J. ANSWER: If you want to eat something before you play and if you find that it keeps you energized when you play, keep it up. The argument your friends gave you is something often quoted. It’s best to eat a snack, a carbohydrate snack, an hour before you play. It will keep you energized during play. However, since your approach works for you, I can’t fault it.

Senior citizen population continues to grow BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@sdnccg.com When it comes to the effect the baby boomer generation’s aging will have on society, Shelby and Auglaize counties are no different from the rest of Ohio. Statistics released recently by the Scripps Gerontology Center at Miami University in Oxford show that the percentage of people 65 and older has been steadily growing here, as well as throughout the country, as Americans who were born between 1946 and 1964 reach retirement age. In 1990, the oldest baby boomers were 44 and the youngest were 26. At that time, there were 5,223 people older than 65 in Shelby County and 6,009 in Auglaize County. By the time the next census was taken 10 years later, those numbers had grown to 5,849 and 6,692, respectively. And, as of the most recent census of 2010, there were 6,362 senior citizens living in Shelby County and 7,061 in Auglaize County. That’s a 22 percent increase in 20 years’ time in Shelby County. The Auglaize County rate of growth in that population demographic is slightly less at 17.5 percent.

Percentage increases As a percentage of the total county populations, seniors in Shelby County went from 11.6 percent in 1990 to 12.2 percent in 2000 to 13.1 percent in 2010. The median age went from 31 to 35 to 37. In Auglaize County, the percentage grew from 13.5 to 14.4 to 15.6 and the median age, from 32 to 37 to 39. The Scripps Gerontology Center estimates that in eight years, people 65 and over will be 24.4 percent of the population in Shelby County and 27.6 percent in Auglaize County. By 2030, the numbers jump to 28.9 and 32.3 percent. By 2040, they get even higher: 30 percent in Shelby County and a full third, 33.7 percent, of the population in Auglaize County. The numbers don’t begin to level off until 2050, almost 40 years from now, when they are projected to drop slightly to 29 percent in Shelby and 33.2 percent in Auglaize. While all the numbers can make the eyes of average citizens tend to glaze over, officials who work with the elderly every day take the projections seriously. Even so, they agree that planning for more than three to five years into the future is impossible.

‘Huge changes’ “Our plan goes out three years,” said Doug McGarry, executive director of the Area Agency on Aging PSA2. “There are huge changes that are going to have an impact beyond Shelby County and Ohio, even national in scope. That’s part of what’s to decide in the presidential election: Social Security and health care. The farther out you go, you can expect the degree of changes to be significant.” David McKay, executive director of the Senior Center of Sidney and Shelby County, also noted that looking only at population numbers doesn’t provide enough information when one plans services for aging people. “The number of members is an important part of who we are and what we do, but overriding that is participation,” he said. “We could have many members. In fact, we are slightly down in numbers now. We have about a thousand members. We used to have 1,200. But participation is burgeoning. Last year, there were 31,000 visits to the center. This year, we’re 5,500 ahead of that.”

Huge influence Technological advances and medical breakthroughs have a huge influence on what aging even means, McGarry said. “Look at what technology has done in 20 years,” he said. “Joint replacements 20 years ago were rare. Now they happen every day. Twenty years ago, 98 percent of long-term care was in a nursing home. Now, it’s 58 percent. What could happen in the next 20 years, we don’t know.” As people stay healthier longer, they require different kinds of care and look for different kinds of experiences than their parents and grandparents did. One of the reasons participation at the senior center is “burgeoning,” McKay said, is because the center added a fitness room and began offering exercise activities. “Younger older adults — people who are just retiring — are a lot of the participation increase,” he said. McGarry noted that there will be more “old, old people, but will their needs be different from today? Will people turning

Lehman and Botkins battled to a 2-2 tie in high school boys soccer action between county rivals Thursday at Lehman. The scoring started with 26 minutes left in the first half when Botkins was called for a handball in the box. Rocco Cantanzarite scored on the penalty kick to make it 1-0. But the Trojans came back. With 4:40 left in the first half Eric Egbert centered a ball to Taylor Van Gundy in front of the goal and he headed it past the Lehman keeper to knot the score at 1-1, which is how it stood at the half. The second half started with a bang. Just 30 seconds in, Joe Simpson got a thru ball to Zach Taylor, who eluded a Botkins defender and put it past the Botkins goalie to put Lehman up 2-1.

UConn coach Calhoun retires STORRS, Conn. (AP) — As Jim Calhoun stood in his office at Gampel Pavilion, waiting for his final news conference as Connecticut’s basketball coach, Pat Calhoun turned to her husband and gave him one final piece of advice. “Don’t change your mind,” she said. Calhoun had stayed on at UConn through cancer and a recruiting scandal. He refused to retire after winning a third national championship in 2011 because he didn’t want a new coach to serve his NCAA suspension. He came back again to finish last season after another absence, this one for spinal surgery. But on Thursday he finally retired — on his own terms, with a hand-picked successor and no apologies. “I never, ever, ever said that I was mistake free,” Calhoun

said. “But I was always trying to do the right thing. It didn’t always work that way, but I was always trying to do the right thing.” The 70-year-old Hall of Famer, on crutches after breaking a hip last month, made the announcement on the court in Storrs where he racked up many of his 873 total wins. He thanked everyone associated with the Huskies program — administrators, players, fans and his family — for his team’s success, and played down both his health problems and troubles with the NCAA. “There have been some bumps in the road,” he said. “But we are headed in the right direction.” Calhoun will take a transition appointment through next spring as a special assistant to athletic director Warde

Manuel. When fully retired, he will become head coach emeritus. Calhoun has been slowed repeatedly by illness and accidents in recent years, including the fractured hip. He said the injury didn’t cause him to retire, but gave him time to reflect on whether this would be a good time to leave. “As I looked at everything. So many things are in place for us to even go farther that we have already,” he said. “So I thought it was an excellent time.” With just a month to go before the start of practice, there also was no time for a national search for a replacement. Assistant coach Kevin Ollie, who played point guard for Calhoun from 1991-95, but has never been a head coach at any level, will be the Huskies’ new coach.

at the half. The Jackets fell behind with 20:39 left in the game when Fairborn scored again, but despite losing both center mid Lorenzo and stopper Joel Fannon to injuries, the Jackets battled back and tied the score up with 9:03 remaining. Sidney got another penalty kick, but missed it. However, David Young was there to put the deflection back in for a 33 score. Sidney won the junior varsity game 4-3, with Nick Kindle scoring three of the goals and Dillon Leach one. Assists were by Kyle Mann (2), Ryota Yajima and Bradley Burden.

COLUMBUS — If Ohio State’s shortage of healthy running backs means wide receiver Corey Brown gets to carry the football a few times on Saturday against California, he won’t complain. In fact, he’d welcome it. who has Brown, emerged as Ohio State’s go-to receiver with 13 catches in the first two games of the season, envisioned himself carrying the ball a lot when he committed to OSU as a senior running back out of Upper Darby (Pa.) Cardinal O’Hara High School. He rushed for more than 1,000 yards as as sophomore and senior and would have done it three times but was injured his junior year. When he got to Columbus and found out he wouldn’t be playing running back or his second choice, cornerback, he wasn’t thrilled. “I actually thought I was going to come here for corner, but when I got here they had me in the receivers room. I was sad. I’ll be honest,� Brown said. “But I realized I was too skinny (to play running back). “I always want to run the ball. I joke around with the running backs that I could play running

had foot surgery. His biggest contribution so far this season and going forward will be as a receiver, though. Brown’s 13 catches in two games are just one short of his season total of 14 last fall. He caught eight passes as a freshman. Some hard work and Ohio State’s more passfriendly offense have helped him become more productive. “I really think it’s the system and growth and maturity.

barrassing moment for the Browns and first of several rookie moments in a trying season for Shurmur, who also served as the club’s offensive coordinator. It didn’t help that the labor lockout deprived Shurmur of a full offseason to prepare his club. That was reality, not an excuse and Shurmur’s problems were complicated by injuries, controversies involving running back Peyton Hillis and Colt McCoy and playing in the rugged AFC North, where every team but the Browns made the playoffs. Shurmur came out on the other end a bit battered, but unbowed. In his second year, Shurmur is more confident, more assured, more himself. “He’s more seasoned,� linebacker Scott Fujita said. “He’s had a lot thrown at him in his first couple years on the job. But he’s come in, he’s steady and he’s got a little fire to him right now, which I enjoy.� Shurmur has indeed undergone something of a makeover, but not an intentional one as much as one that happened naturally through experience. He’s more vocal at practice, maximizing teaching moments to instruct his young players, 27 of whom have less than three years of pro experience. He’s also different during press conferences. Last year, he often joked about needing a medical degree to be able to discuss injuries. These days, he says as little as possible. “I don’t think it’s important for us to just tell the world about where we are at,� he said. “That’s just my feelings on that. Maybe that’s just me in Year 2.�

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — As Browns coach Pat Shurmur spoke to the media following Sunday’s 17-16 loss to Philadelphia, an interested observer slipped into the back of the room. Incoming owner Jimmy Haslam III took a seat. And although he didn’t ask Shurmur a question, Haslam’s presence spoke volumes. The new boss is already working. It remains to be seen if that’s good or bad news for Shurmur, who went 4-12 in his first season in Cleveland. But it’s safe to assume that Haslam, the truck-stop magnate and former minority owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers who bought the Browns for $1 billion, will be examining his new investment very closely over the next few months. For Shurmur, it’s a 16week audition to keep his job. “I really like Jimmy, and I’ve enjoyed getting to know him,� Shurmur said, “and I know Jimmy wants to win.� Shurmur doesn’t have time to worry about his future beyond Sunday’s game at Cincinnati. With a young roster that includes 15 rookies, including the starting quarterback, running back, right offensive tackle and a defensive tackle, Shurmur’s primary objective is to get his team ready to play a team looking to bounce back from a drubbing at Baltimore on Monday. A year ago, the Browns opened with a 27-17 loss to the Bengals, who took the lead in the fourth quarter when they caught Cleveland’s defense napping and threw a 41-yard touchdown pass. It was an em-

long look at myself in the mirror. Obviously, my first two seasons here weren’t very good,� Brown said. He expects that, along with receivers like Devin and Evan Smith Spencer, OSU’s wideouts can play an even bigger role the rest of the season. “We’ve done a lot of passing so far but I don’t think we’ve come close to how much passing we’ll do in a single game once we get going,� he said. His running roots aren’t the only thing Brown wouldn’t mind returning to this season. Ohio State coach Jim Tressel bestowed the nickname “Philly� on him when the Buckeyes’ 2010 recruiting class contained two Corey Browns. To differentiate the two, Tressel called him “Philly� because he came from the Philadelphia area and called the other Corey Brown, a defensive back from western Pennsylvania, “Pittsburgh.� Brown makes it clear he prefers to be called Corey, not Philly. So, why is his Twitter address @phillybrown10 if he doesn’t like the name? “That’s only because only one person can have a name on Twitter. Every other name was taken so I had to. It wasn’t my decision, it was Twitter’s,� he said.

He is currently running backs coach at Capital University.

1: How many times has Ohio State played California in the Rose Bowl?

SAY WHAT?

RECRUITING UPDATE Dorian Johnson, an offensive tackle in the 2013 recruiting class from Belle Vernon, Pa., is considering Pittsburgh, Ohio State and Virginia Tech after decommiting from Penn State. He says he will take visits to all three schools but reportedly is leaning toward Pittsburgh. Marcus Baugh, a 2013 Ohio State verbal commitment tight end from Riverside (Calif.) North High School missed his team’s game last Friday with a concussion and could sit out this week’s game also. Jalin Marshall, a quarterback who is a verbal commitment for Ohio State in 2013, was held to 77 yards rushing on 24 carries in Middletown’s 51-13 loss to Cincinnati Winton Woods.

2: When is the last time California

played in the Rose Bowl? 3: How many years did Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers start in college at California? 4: How many times did Eddie George

rush for more than 200 yards in a game at OSU? 5: How many times did Bob Hoying

pass for more than 300 yards in a game at OSU? Answers: 1. Twice (1921, 1950); 2. 1959; 3. Two; 4. Five; 5. Two.

“We see it every day in practice. It’s scary how good he can be.” — Ohio State fullback Zach Boren talks about quarterback Braxton Miller.

California at No. 12 Ohio State • Noon, Saturday, ABC QUARTERBACKS

RECEIVERS

Braxton Miller leads everyone in the Big Ten in rushing with 302 yards but is tenth among the conference’s quarterbacks in passing with 362 yards. Coach Urban Meyer called him “a hell of a player” four times in less than a minute during his weekly press conference Monday and no one is disagreeing. Fifty-five percent of OSU’s rushing yards this season have come from Miller. California quarterback Zach Maynard is a three-year starter who has thrown for 474 yards and two touchdowns for the Bears (1-1). He passed for 2,990 yards with 17 touchdowns and 12 interceptions last season. Advantage: Ohio State

Corey Brown’s first reception of the game will match his season total of 14 catches last year. Devin Smith and Evan Spencer have played well at times. Jake Stoneburner, who caught his first touchdown pass of the season in a 31-16 win over Central Florida last week, is bouncing between wide receiver and tight end, trying to find his most effective position. For California, Keenan Allen, a 6-3, 210-pound junior, is regarded as an NFL draft pick by some people. Freshman Chris Harper (12 catches) has one more reception than Allen and is a solid No. 2 receiver. Last season Allen caught 98 passes. Advantage: California

OFFENSIVE LINE Guard Andrew Norwell was singled out by Meyer for good work in the win over Central Florida, which raised OSU’s record to 2-0. There is still some work to do, though, with cleaning up missed assignments, which have led to the Buckeyes converting only one of three fourth-and-1 situations this season. California will be without its best offensive lineman, Matt Summers-Gavin, because of a knee injury. Advantage: Ohio State

DEFENSIVE LINE Veterans John Simon and Johnathan Hankins have played well, but Ohio State’s pass rush (3 sacks) has not been what it expected. Meyer said he is more concerned about getting pressure on opposing quarterbacks than about achieving a specific sack total. Nathan Williams (knee) is day to day. Michael Bennett is out with a groin injury. End Deandre Coleman is the leader of Cal’s line. He has 1.5 sacks this season and had a pair of sacks in his three starts last season. Advantage: Ohio State

LINEBACKERS One of the big questions at OSU this year is why sophomore Ryan Shazier has not showed up as prominently as he did late last season. He is averaging seven tackles a game, down three a game from the 10 he averaged after taking over for the injured Andrew Sweat in the last four games of last season. Outside linebacker Chris McCain (12 tackles, 2.5 for losses) could be limited by a shoulder injury. Inside linebacker J.P. Hurrell is far down on the Bears’ tackles list, but has three quarterback sacks. Advantage: Ohio State

ZACH BOREN The 6-foot-1, 245-pound senior fullback from Pickerington has started 29 games in his four-year career. And while his career hasn’t been defined by great stats, he may get the ball more in OSU’s depleted backfield.

DEFENSIVE BACKS

Ohio State has five interceptions, three by Travis Howard, but it also has allowed seven pass plays of 20 yards or more. Southern Utah’s Brad Sorensen, one of the best Division I-AA quarterbacks in the country, completed 68 percent of his passes against California last week. The Bears have allowed opposing quarterbacks to complete 72 percent of their passes this season. RUNNING BACKS Advantage: Ohio State Ohio State is not yet desperate, but it is not deep, either, in this area, with true freshman Bri’onte Dunn and fumble-plagued Rod Smith as its only two completely healthy running backs. Jordan Hall, who had preseason foot surgery, SPECIAL TEAMS could return this week, but probably not in a full-time role. Ohio State had three penalties in its kicking game, an unusually high California tailback Isi Sofele rushed for 104 yards on 19 carries in a 50-31 win over Southern Utah after getting only five carries in an opening week loss to total for that unit, in last week’s game. Drew Basil kicked his first field goal of the season, a 24-yarder. Nevada. He rushed for 1,322 yards last season. Cal got a 69-yard punt return for a touchdown by Allen last week. Advantage: Even Kicker Vincenzo D’Amato is 4 of 5 on field goals. Advantage: Even

Big Ten needs to get pride back COLUMBUS — The ball was sitting on the tee and the Big Ten whiffed. Last Saturday was not a good day for Big Ten football teams. It might have been one of their worst days ever. Big Ten football teams split their six games last Saturday, going 6-6. But it gets worse. The Big Ten was 1-6 against teams from BCS conferences and the Leaders Division, home of Ohio State, Wisconsin, Penn State, Indiana, Illinois and Purdue lost four of the six games its teams played. The Big Ten’s wins were over Central Florida, Vanderbilt, Air Force, Central Michigan, a University of Massachusetts team in its first year in Division I and Division I-AA New Hampshire. The losses were to Notre Dame, UCLA, Virginia, Iowa State, Oregon State and Arizona State. Decent programs, but there was not an elite team among the teams who beat the Big Ten. Big Ten Leaders Division favorite Wisconsin lost 10-7 at Oregon State, a team which won three games last season and was picked to finish last in the Pac-12 North Division. Badgers coach Bret Bielema was so unhappy after that loss he fired one of his assistant coaches. Iowa has scored one touchdown in two games and lost to in-state rival Iowa State 9-6 last Saturday. And that game was at Iowa’s Kinnick Stadium. So, maybe Ohio State fans who found flaws — and there definitely were some — in OSU’s 31-16 win over Central Florida should relax and realize things could have been worse. After last Saturday’s games, Ohio State looks like it might be the best team in the Leaders Division. And that makes the decision by OSU’s administration not to selfimpose a bowl ban last season in hopes of preventing the NCAA from handing down a ban this season look even worse. The road to the Big Ten championship game and a shot at the Rose Bowl don’t look quite as difficult as they did even a couple of weeks ago. With OSU playing road games at Michigan State and Wisconsin and being one Braxton Miller injury away from being an average team, there are no guarantees the Buckeyes will finish the season with the best record in the Leaders Division. But if they do and they watch someone else play for the Big Ten title, there will be some second guessing.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, Sept. 15, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The New Moon today is the perfect time to think about how to be more efficient at work and more productive in your daily tasks. And what can you do to improve your health? TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) We all need to balance play with work, but nowadays, everyone works too hard. Do you give yourself enough time to play or express your creativity? GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today’s New Moon is your best chance all year to think about how to improve relationships with family members. And what can you do to improve where you live? CANCER (June 21 to July 22) We are gregarious creatures. We especially need to communicate with each other. How clear are you in your communication with others? LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) What can you do to improve your money scene? Quite likely, you have to learn to live within the boundaries of your earnings. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) The only New Moon in your sign all year is taking place today. Take a realistic look in the mirror and ask yourself what you can do to improve your image. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is an ideal day to get in touch with your spiritual beliefs. After all, in the last analysis, your belief system is the core of what really guides you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Friendships are important. Today’s New Moon urges you to think about your friends. Do you hang out with quality people? If you want more friends, be friendly!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) It’s a strain on your peace of mind to have too many loose details with insurance matters, taxes, debt and inheritances. What can you do to reduce these and to promote greater peace of mind? PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Today’s New Moon is the only New Moon opposite your sign all year. This is your chance to think about how you can improve your closest friendships and partnerships. YOU BORN TODAY You often are shy when young; however, when older, this disappears and you become quite expansive! You like to carve out your own niche in the world and become familiar with it. You enjoy life fully, and you like the wealth to be able to do so. In the year ahead, friendships and partnerships will be a strong focus for you.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.
