Concert organizers address residents Event slated for Labor Day Weekend in Troy By Melanie Yingst Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

TROY —Troy Main Street and City of Troy staff answered a variety of concerns from residents of the downtown and outer perimeter area who will be affected of the Gentlemen of the Road concert tour stop in Troy during a 90-minute meeting at Troy High School Tuesday. In February, Grammy Award-winning band Mumford & Sons selected Troy as a stop on their Gentlemen of the Road Stopovers tour Aug. 30 and 31. More than 25,000 tickets for the event sold out in four hours. More than 50 residents who reside inside the downtown area or on the perimeter wrote down their questions and concerns on index cards, which were screened by Troy Main Street Executive Director Karin Manovich, Mayor Michael Beamish, City Safety and Service Director Patrick Titterington. Will Harrelson, the volunteer coordinator for the GOTR tour and a local attorney, served as moderator. Before the meeting began, Manovich

requested all questions be submitted to TMS interns and staff by index card only. Manovich also warned that outbursts would not be tolerated and any resident who did not cooperate would be asked to leave the meeting. Also, shoe noted not all questions would be answered, although specific concerns for a particular resident or area would be answered at a later time, she said. Titterington, Manovich and Harrelson relayed information concerning parking, wristband access, clean up, costs and emergency service questions for residents. Titterington said the four tours in 2012 in other cities were left in “good, if not better” condition after their concert tour stops. “We’ll be watching that, we’ll be taking pictures, we’ll be documenting things,” he said. “That’s been a theme that has been following (these music festivals), we expect the same thing this time.” Titterington noted the state projected economic impact nearly $13 million through businesses such as hotels, restaurants and other businesses. Titterington noted that Troy City School

rented the Troy Memorial Stadium to the Jam Production company for the concert. Troy City Schools’ Superintendent Eric Herman, who was present, said the contract, including additions and stadium rental price, had not been finalized as of Tuesday. After the meeting, Herman said the contract with Jam Productions was still being reviewed to include insurance and other legalities before he would be able to sign it. Herman said the production company has signed the contract, which he now has and is still reviewing. Herman said once he signs and accepts the production company’s payment for the stadium as the venue of the concert, the contract and rental price would be a matter of public record. Many residents asked questions about downtown parking, police and fire mobility and other accessibility issues to their homes and places of work in the perimeter. Titterington said police overtime would be paid by the production company, as well as extra security provided by the WrightPatterson Air Force Base and other safety officials. Titterington also said police would patrol the entire city as is routine, while

Firefighters’ benefits divide Arizona city

PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) — In the days after a wildfire killed 19 members of an elite firefighting team, the Arizona city where they were based banded together in a series of moving public memorials and tributes, overwhelmingly united in its support of the men and their families. That unity quickly has faded since residents learned Prescott is not paying full-time benefits to all of the families of the firefighters who died on June 30. Now, leaders of a city nicknamed “Everybody’s Hometown” are receiving both vicious emails and ones commending them for not letting emotion get in the way. See Page 8

Kassidy Thompson, of Troy, shows several animals at the fair including the 2013 Grand Champion market steer at the Miami County Fair.

A family tradition By Melanie Yingst Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

TROY — Showing cattle is a family tradition for the Thompson family and Kassidy Thompson, 13, of Troy, clinched the Miami County Fair’s 2013 Grand Champion Market Steer Monday. Thompson, a member of the Union Twp. Meat Producers is part of the fourth generation of showmen from the Thompson family to exhibit beef projects at the county fair. It was the first time for the teen to win Grand Champion Market Steer. She won Reserve Champion Market Steer at the 2012 Miami County Fair. “It was exciting,” Thompson said Tuesday of her market steer

“Socks,” which was bred by Shane Show Cattle. “I think a lot of had to do with that I didn’t know it was going to happen and then the judge shook my hand and I was just shocked.” Thompson has worked with the market steer project since last October. Thompson also shows market lambs and hogs at the fair, but admitted she enjoys showing steers the most because of the time and work it takes to show the animal. “He’s like a puppy dog and follows me around,” Thompson said. “I like practicing with the show stick so he behaves for me in the show ring.” “You work with them a lot, so it’s like your best friend,” she

said. “I get really attached to the steers more than any other animal because I spend the most time with them.” Thompson also shows animals with her sister Kaitlyn, 17, and do chores around the family farm together. Sister Kaitlyn was named “Showman of Showmen” in the beef barn at this year’s fair. Thompson said she enjoys exhibiting livestock with her family and friends. She also said she enjoys all the help from her “extended family” who show up in the barn to help prepare the animals for shows. Kaitlyn said she enjoys preparing the market steers, “making them fluffy” before

Daytime burglaries occurring Staff Reports The Miami County Sheriff’s Office is investigating several residential daytime burglaries that have occurred over the past several weeks in Union, Newton and Bethel townships. Forced entry to the rear door of the residence is being made and TVs, electronics and jewelry are being targeted, according to Miami County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Dave Duchak. Duchak said deputies are increasing patrols in the targeted areas and detectives are following up on all leads. The sheriff’s office is asking for the public’s assistance to report any unknown vehicles in neighbor’s driveways or in the general neighborhood by calling the Miami County 9-1-1 Center. Additionally, several thefts from autos are occurring overnight in the Staunton Township area, he said. The sheriff’s office offers the following crime prevention tips: • Keep all access doors locked along with vehicle doors • Keep an extra car in the driveway instead of garage to make it appear someone is home • Leave a radio on and make the house appear occupied • If anyone knocks at your door and then has an unreason-

able explanation for being there, i.e. “Do you know where so and so lives,” “Can I use your phone,” “I ran out of gas,” etc. Obtain a license plate number and description of vehicle and call 9-1-1 immediately. Many daytime burglars will ring or knock first prior to breaking in to make sure no one is home. If someone answers the door they will be nervous and have an unusual reason for being there. The same goes with calls or hang-up calls. Burglars do not want you to be home when they break-in and will try to make sure no one is home. • Learn what cars belong at your neighbors and call 911 if any vehicle not seen before is noticed in the driveway. Rural burglars will target those residences that have few neighbors so please look out for any unusual vehicles and call 9-1-1 immediately. • Keep all valuables inside your residence, do not leave them in the car. At night, park car in garage if possible or close to residence in a lighted area. • At nighttime utilize exterior lighting around your house to deter crime. If you get up in the middle of the night, take a moment to look out your window to observe any persons or vehicles that may be prowling. • Call 9-1-1, if you see something, say something.

TROY — Numerous changes and challenges await for all Ohio public schools when the doors open for class next week, including the new teacher evaluations and revamped curriculum. Troy City Schools’ director of curriculum and instruction Michael Moore outlined the plan for teacher evaluations and the changes to K-12’s curriculum on Monday at the regular meeting of the school board. Stephen Lucas and Joyce Reives were not present at the meeting. Moore said the entire district staff will meet at the Concord Room during the Friday, Aug. 30 “Waiver Day” to go over teacher evaluation process as a whole. Moore said having the entire staff meet allowed administrators to convey one “consistent message” for the district and answer questions and concerns in one location. Teacher development and student data, along with the teacher evaluation system support will be paid for using the federal education grant “Race to the Top,” Moore said. “A big year is coming up,” Moore said. New Troy City Schools’ treasurer Jeff Price presented the board a look at a financial summary for its 2013-2014 appropriations which will be presented in September. Price said the summary will “simplify the whole board report” and allow quick analysis for the board members. Price also said financial discrepancies will be more apparent in the financial summary in the future as well. The Troy City Schools’ held its mandatory federal funds public meeting during its regular meeting. Troy City Schools’ Superintendent Eric Herman said the new law mandates advertising for the public hearing to address questions or

BUSINESS ROUNDUP

n Continued from page 1 others would work the concert areas. Tittertington said approximately 1,700 hours of additional police office work including sheriff’s and other municipalities would be used during the weekend and paid for by the production company. Due to a set up area in Troy’s Community Park, Titterington said the park would be closed to the general public. Manovich encouraged residents and employees who are working in and around the concert area and downtown to contact Troy Main Street

website and employers for detailed parking and access information. Manovich said representatives would arrive a week before the event. Titterington reviewed the GOTR tour general information including locations and downtown parking and crowd concerns. Wristbands for access to downtown events during the musical festival must be purchased for $5 per day, although residents providing a form of identification such as a water bill, could obtain wristbands at the TMS office,

Manovich said. More than 27,000 tickets have been sold thus far and JAM Productions could release more tickets in the coming weeks for the event, Titterington said. Titterington said the city began to realize the popularity of the event two days after the Troy’s Stopover tour was announced when hotel managers called to inform the city their hotel rooms were booked solid for the event more than six months in advance for the music festival. Titterington presented

the residents with information about transporting the 10,000 to 12,000 campers who will set up primitive camping spots in the seven areas around the city. Campers will be parking and then be shuttled to their camp sites from WACO Historic Field and then dropped off at Van Cleve school to walk to their assigned spots. Troy City School buses will be used to transport campers to the seven locations. Herman said school bus drivers will be paid by the production company. Also, cus-

todians have also been requested for the school grounds by the company. Herman said those costs would be paid by the production company if a staff member was interested working the event. “We’ve been working on this now for eight months,” Titterington said. “The only thing we haven’t planned on, or hope full against, bad weather.” For more detailed information about The Gentlemen of the Road tour stop in Troy, visit www.troymainstreet.org.

Herman also presented a Power Point presentation highlighting the district’s challenges and accomplishments in the last several years. The presentation

included information such as the district having a cash reserved of $8.5 million through 2016 when the district once was $3 million in the red several years ago. The district made $15 million in human resource reductions including eliminating 30 positions. Herman attributed the cash balance due to severance and attrition planning

and the district’s wage freezes through 2014. The district employs 485 people for its 4,600 students and is one of the largest employers in the county, Herman said. Herman also said the district has a 96 percent attendance rate and students have earned “Excellent with Distinction” ratings in several buildings in the district despite staff

cuts, he said. Marion Stout also reported two positions are in the process of being filled before school begins. Stout said the positions would be filled by the beginning of school. The first day for students is Wednesday Aug. 21. For more information visit www.troy.k12. oh.us.

Federal government sues to block airline merger DALLAS (AP) — American Airlines (NYSE:AMR) and US Airways (NYSE:LCC) expected to spend this week cruising toward completion of their huge merger, a deal to create the world’s biggest airline worth $14 billion on paper. Instead, they were stunned Tuesday when the federal government and six states sued to block the deal, saying it would hurt competition and cost consumers hundreds of millions of dollars a year in higher fares and extra fees. Antitrust regulators had done little to interfere with three other big airline mergers in the past five years, so they were not expected to stand in the way of American and US Airways. But this latest deal would leave four airlines controlling more than 80 percent of the U.S. air-travel market. “By further reducing the number of legacy airlines and aligning the economic incentives of those that remain, the merger of US Airways and American would make it easier for the remaining airlines to cooperate, rather than compete, on price and service,” the lawsuit said. The Justice Department turned the words of US Airways leaders against

them. The 56-page complaint filed in federal district court in Washington, D.C., was peppered with quotes from internal emails, investor presentations and public comments in which top executives noted that previous mergers had helped lead to higher fares and higher fees to check a bag or change a ticket. Shares of both companies plunged, and executives vowed to challenge the lawsuit. “We will fight them,” declared US Airways CEO Doug Parker, who would run the combined company. Paul Denis, a Washington antitrust lawyer hired by US Airways, said Tuesday would be the Justice Department’s “best day” in the matter. “They got to hold their press conference. Now they’ve got to try their case in court,” he said. Tom Horton, CEO of American Airlines parent AMR Corp. (NYSE:AAR) , said the companies had spent months trying to convince the Justice Department that the merger would help customers and boost competition by creating a tough new rival to larger airlines United and Delta. AMR has been operating under bankruptcy protection since November 2011. It has

cut labor costs, renegotiated aircraft and other leases and earned $220 million profit in the second quarter — its first profit in the April-to-June period in six years. It is forging ahead with an order for hundreds of new airplanes. The company had expected the highlight of this week to be a Thursday hearing in which a federal bankruptcy court judge would approve its reorganization plan, including the merger. That would be one of the final steps before AMR could exit Chapter 11 protection by the end of September. The hearing is likely to go ahead, and the judge could approve AMR’s turnaround plan on the condition that the Justice Department’s opposition is resolved. But AMR probably won’t come out of bankruptcy for at least a few more months while it fights the lawsuit, officials at the companies said. American and US Airways had been so confident of a quick merger that they had already named executives for the combined company, which was to be based at AMR’s headquarters in Fort Worth and called American Airlines Group Inc. Executives at Tempe, Ariz.based US Airways have been house-hunting in the DallasFort Worth area.

While Thompson’s hard work will pay off at tonight’s “Sale of Champions,” heading back home to an empty barn is always bittersweet after the fair closes. “We go back home to clean out the pens in the barn and it’s so quiet,” she said. “There’s no noise from the fans, but we are getting ready for the next set.” The eighth grade student also participates in basketball and volleyball at Milton-Union Junior High. Kassidy said she is looking forward to next year’s market steer and the search has already begun for the family. “It’s nice to get a little break, but I’m looking forward to doing it all again soon,” she said. Seth Clark, of Covington, was named Reserve Grand Champion Market Steer. Thompson is the daughter of David and Tammy Thompson of Troy.

TROY — The Gentlemen of the Road Tour is quickly approaching, and with it comes the British immersive theater company Reuben Feels. Currently, Reuben Feels is calling for all actors and drummers wishing to participate in a roaming, theatrical engagement during the weekend of the Mumford & Sons festival in Troy. Reuben Feels brings interactive storytelling to the Gentlemen of the Road festival through the medium of immersive theatre. Immersive theatre is a concept that incorporates the audience and makes them part of the storytelling experience. Reuben Feels have worked extensively with Mumford & Sons in the past, even appearing on the cover of Grammy award winning album “Babel’,” and will perform four shows in four weeks. The troupe already has performed in the Lewes Stopover Festival in Lewes, England.

Watch for a new poll question in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News

PERSPECTIVE

The Salem (Mass.) News It’s no surprise that an appeals court has ruled New York City’s ban on big sodas is unconstitutional. And you know what? We’ll drink a 64-ounce Coke to that. After all, telling convenience stores and restaurants they no longer have the right to serve up big-sized sodas because someone in government thinks it’s not healthy (we all already know it’s not the best choice you could make) is like banning ice cream, potato chips, french fries and chocolate. You get the idea. There’s just no end to it, nor is it the government’s job — sans public health — to tell us what to eat. The court has ruled unanimously that sugary drinks such as sodas are not “inherently harmful” and has slapped down the New York City Board of Health, saying it has exceeded its legal reach in telling private businesses that they can’t serve more than 16-ounce soft drinks. Now, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg says he will appeal the decision. Here’s why we think it’s an important one to watch: When government starts making all our decisions about what’s good for us and what’s not, well, this just isn’t America anymore. Doctors, health educators and even Dr. Oz can explain the dangers of eating or drinking too much of a good thing. Even the government can do that. But, ultimately, we can’t allow the government to be our keeper. The Rutland (Vt.) Herald Baseball keeps on. It is a perfect machine, adjusting itself to every perturbation. In the blessed, warm days of August, when children remain free of school and adults find reasons to look beyond the ordinary routines of work, baseball is a dependable presence, as it has been for more than a century. The persistence of baseball through time is evident as a new doping scandal erupts, touching one of the pre-eminent players of the day, Alex Rodriguez of the Yankees. Rodriguez and 13 other players have been linked to a clinic in Florida that dealt in banned substances. Most of the players received suspensions of 50 days; Rodriguez, who is accused of trying to cover up wrongdoing, was suspended for 211 games, though he is appealing the allegations and is in the Yankees lineup. Through all of the cheating, lying, pretending and posturing, baseball carries on. Rodriguez has hit 647 home runs in his career, and as a New York Times story pointed out, if he is able to stick around, he is in a good position to match or pass the 660 home runs hit by Willie Mays. And yet Rodriguez, like Barry Bonds, Rafael Palmeiro, Mark McGwire and other dopers, will always remain a footnote to the true story of baseball. Rodriguez is the highest-paid player in the game, and combined with the narcissism that seems to define his life, his earnings and his cheating have made him widely reviled. Whether he passes Willie Mays or not, his place in the Hall of Fame would seem doubtful. Consigning cheaters to the realm of the asterisk is one of the methods of self-preservation that keeps baseball in play. The early days of the game were rocked by the Black Sox scandal of 1919. Since then the game has undergone numerous changes. The dead ball era gave way to the era of Babe Ruth. The game survived World War II, when many players were away in the services. It began to emerge from its racist past in 1947 when Jackie Robinson arrived. It evolved after the advent (NYSE:AGC) of free agency and big money. It has expanded and split into divisions. It has developed gloves and other equipment that has changed the way the game is played. It has created the designated hitter for the American League. It has added tiers of playoffs. It continues to foist on fans one of its most pointless and annoying innovations: interleague play. Through it all, the dimensions of baseball seem immutable. Ninety feet between bases. Sixty feet, 6 inches between mound and plate. All of the drama and athletic prowess demonstrated on the diamond occurs within this sublime, unchanging framework. It is still hard to hit a ball, hard to pitch a ball, hard to make it to first, hard to make a putout at first. Only the best succeed reliably. The numbers tell the story. And yet it is a complex story. Mays may well have exceeded the 714 total home runs hit by Ruth if he had played somewhere other than Candlestick Park (Mays thinks so). Leaving aside the steroid-assisted record hit by Bonds (782 home runs), that would have put Mays in the company of Hank Aaron (total of 755) as the leading sluggers in history.

LETTERS Please obey school bus laws To the Editor: Next week, children will be starting back to school all around Troy. Each and every morning, I will once again be walking my daughter to the bus stop at the corner of our street. This year, I hope more people will be aware of driving laws regarding any school bus they may see in the neighborhood or around Troy. Please be aware of the fact that when a school bus has come to a complete stop, traffic is required to stop in BOTH directions. That means cars both behind the school bus and coming toward the school bus must stop. It sounds simple, but you’d

be amazed at how many times last year I saw people who were painfully unaware of this — particularly when it comes to traffic coming from the opposite direction. This isn’t just some school rule. This is a law. If you are caught breaking this law, you will be prosecuted. This is done for the safety of the children either boarding or departing the school bus. So many times last year I saw people blow right past a stopped school bus. When you do this, you are putting the safety of children at risk. Please, as school is getting ready to start again, be aware of this law. Let’s all have a safe and happy school year! — Rosie Thomas Troy

Years ago, it could have been chalked up to wishfulness and ignorance of how insurance markets work. Now, it’s simply refusing to acknowledge reality. Defenders of the law minimize the rate increases by saying people will be getting better insurance for their money. Besides, they add, some low-income people will get subsidies. But this doesn’t change the essential facts. If someone owned a Ford because it suited his budget and needs and then you made him buy a Cadillac, you are making him buy a pricier car. It is still a more expensive car, even if taxpayers offset some or all of the costs. At least liberal analysts are willing to admit that premiums are going up, which the president can’t yet bring himself to do. Jonathan Cohn, a staunch defender of the law at the New Republic, lamented the president’s misleading remark at his press conference. He wrote of average listeners: “They’d come away thinking their insurance will be cheaper next year. For some, it won’t be. Obama isn’t doing himself, or the law, any favors by fostering a false expectation.” But that false expectation, surely, is the entire point, and always has been.

Firefighters’ benefits divide Arizona city PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) — In the days after a wildfire killed 19 members of an elite firefighting team, the Arizona city where they were based banded together in a series of moving public memorials and tributes, overwhelmingly united in its support of the men and their families. That unity quickly has faded since residents learned Prescott is not paying full-time benefits to all of the families of the firefighters who died on June 30. Now, leaders of a city nicknamed “Everybody’s Hometown” are receiving both vicious emails and ones commending them for not letting emotion get in the way. Grieving widows have lashed out at city leaders in public meetings, news conferences and national TV appearances. “I was really proud to live in Prescott because you saw people coming together and now it’s just embarrassing,” resident Julie Abel said. The source of the dis-

AP Photo In this July 6 file photo, items are displayed at a makeshift memorial at the Fire Station No. 7 memorial for fallen firefighters in Prescott, Ariz. A dispute over the benefits given to families of the 19 elite firefighters who died this summer in the line of duty has caused an angry division in Prescott, just a month after the community came together in the face of tragedy.

pute is the fact that 13 of the firefighters were classified as temporary employees and not entitled to full survivors’ benefits. As a result, they receive smaller death benefits than the families of the six firefighters classified as full-time. The widow of fallen firefighter Andrew Ashcraft brought attention to the issue by making public pleas to city officials, saying her husband worked full-time hours and, therefore, deserved the more lucrative benefits. “There were 19 men

vivor and can pay the fallen firefighters’ bills. Franklin said it is focusing now on compiling a list of needs for the families and covering health insurance premiums for at least a year. The total raised for the firefighters’ families is unknown, but donations haven’t ceased. Fliers in the community highlight barbecues, banquets, a running race and a concert to benefit the men. Juliann Ashcraft’s attorney, Tom Kelly, said Ashcraft had filled a leadership position that previously had been fulltime and was making a salary similar to other fulltime employees. “It’s not simply an emotional plea,” Kelly said. Gloria Purce and Abel have written letters to Mayor Marlin Kuykendall expressing their anger over the city’s position. The women said he has gone back on statements he made at the firefighters’ memorial when he declared the city’s everlasting support for men he referred to as sons. “To disgrace 19 families over money — hold them up in such high regard — then act like penny-pinching fools, it’s sad, just really sad,” Abel said.

holds public question-andanswer sessions with constituents during Congress’ summer break, conservatives and GOP loyalists who enjoy significant influence in his western North Carolina district are demanding that he and his House colleagues defund “Obamacare,” refuse to raise the nation’s debt limit and generally intensify opposition to the White House and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Congress has abysmal approval ratings, and polls suggest that most voters want the divided government to seek out compromise. Yet the no-holdsbarred attitude on display here — and elsewhere as other House Republicans hold town-hall style gatherings — offers an ominous forecast of the legislative battles ahead this fall and underscores how little political incentive many Republicans have to reach common ground on issues ranging from immigration to the budget. The atmosphere has put Republicans like McHenry in a challenging spot. He and others are all but forced to square their criticism of the president with their unwillingness to go as far as the far right wants. In doing so, they risk irking the party’s most conservative voters and drawing a primary challenge; many face re-election in districts Obama lost in 2012. So at nearly every event over the past week, the 37-year-old, fifth-term congressman pre-emptively opened several recent appearances by suggesting that there are limits to the GOP’s power, reminding his constituents that “elections have consequences … (and) this president is in office through 2016.” He found himself seeking to delicately explain why he doesn’t support a government shut-down or a national credit default, and why there’s only so much House Republicans can do to stop funding the health care law given that some of the federal spending is automatic. Still, at the Lincolnton Chamber of Commerce, about 40 miles outside Charlotte, Keith Gaskill told McHenry he wants to see “more backbone from the Republican Party”

against Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder and the rest of the executive branch. McHenry reminded Gaskill that he voted to hold the attorney general in contempt of Congress. And, when Lincoln County resident Robert Varney insisted that Congress should remove Holder from office, McHenry noted that the Democratic Senate would have to hold a trial. “Do you really think that would happen?” he asked Varney, who was unbowed. Varney was among voters who praised Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah, tea party favorites who want to deny money for implementing Obama’s health care law even if that means not financing core government functions at all after Sept. 30. Others pressed McHenry on whether he would vote to extend the nation’s debt limit later this fall. And a crowd at Lincolnton City Hall erupted in applause when a retired FBI agent from McHenry’s hometown declared that “money is oxygen is Washington” and told McHenry that Republicans should “use the power of the purse” to extract what they want from the executive branch. When constituents pressed him on health care, McHenry noted he voted against the law. But he also tried to convince the most vocal critics of it that shutting down government won’t satisfy their concerns. “No matter how much you dislike government, government does things we need,” he said, citing military operations at one stop and noting Social Security at another. On one hand, he called the nation’s borrowing limit a legitimate tool for “leverage” against Obama and Democrats in an overhaul of the nation’s taxing and spending blueprint — though he was short on details about his desired changes. Yet when pushed, McHenry carefully added a caveat. “We have to make good on our obligations,” he said, tacitly explaining that raising nation’s credit cap is about paying bills already due, not future spending priorities.

tional and everybody wants to do the right thing, and the city absolutely,” said city spokesman Pete Wertheim. “But what is the right thing? Well, for the city it’s limited by the law. And we’re fully complying with it.” Last year, President Barack Obama made federal health insurance benefits available to about 8,000 temporary wildland firefighters and their families after a South Dakota-based Hotshot crew petitioned for the change. That benefit did not extend to the Granite Mountain

that perished in that fire and for whatever reason, there are people that feel that some of them don’t deserve to be treated in a way that the others do,” Juliann Ashcraft said at a news conference outside the courthouse. From the city’s point of view, the law is clear. The 13 firefighters were not classified as fulltime, and the city said changing the rules after the fact would be illegal and also cost Prescott millions of dollars over the lifetime of the firefighters’ dependents. “It’s easy to get emo-

Hotshots because the crew was employed by Prescott. Somewhat lost in the emotion of the debate is that benefits for all the families of the Granite Mountain Hotshots also will include private donations. Each of firefighters’ families will receive a tax-free $328,000 lump sum from the federal government, Social Security benefits, workers compensation and free tuition for their children at Arizona universities. The families of the six full-time employees also get health insurance, an increased life insurance payment and the men’s annual salaries. Outside organizations and community donations have been filling the families’ immediate needs. The 100 Club of Arizona paid out a minimum of $15,000 in cash to each of the men’s families and covered remaining burial expenses and associated travel costs. Of the $3 million the group has taken in so far — more than $1.5 million of which has been spent, said marketing specialist Ciara Franklin. It has paid credit card debt for the lone sur-

Even worse odds than in 2008 for Mideast deal JERUSALEM (AP) — The same negotiators, the same issues, a familiar venue: The sense of deja vu is overwhelming as Israelis and Palestinians start Wednesday on their third attempt in 13 years to draw a border between them. But they face even longer odds than in the last round, which ended in 2008. Since then, at least 40,000 more Israelis have settled in areas the Palestinians want for a state, making it even harder to partition the land. The chaos of the Arab Spring has bolstered Israeli demands for ironclad security guarantees, such as troop deployments along Palestine’s future border, widening a dispute that seemed near resolution five years ago. The talks come after months of prodding by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who made six visits to the region since taking office in his bid to bring together Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. together Despite U.S. cheerleading, expectations have been low on both sides. Ahead of Wednesday’s talks at Jerusalem’s King David Hotel, the atmosphere soured further after Israel said in a series of announcements in the past week that it is advancing plans for more than 3,000 new homes for Jews in the occupied West Bank and east Jerusalem. “It’s not just deliberate sabotage of the talks, but really the destruction of the outcome,” said senior Palestinian official Hanan Ashrawi. “Israel has transformed the negotiations into a cover and a license to steal land.” Israel argued that it’s mainly building in areas it wants to keep in any border deal. “This construction that has been authorized in no way changes the final map of peace,” said government spokesman Mark Regev. In Israel, attention focused on anguish over the expected release Tuesday of 26 long-held Palestinian prisoners, part of a U.S.-brokered deal that persuaded the

and finding new homes for millions of Palestinian refugees and their descendants. Even on the land swaps, gaps remained. Abbas offered Israel 1.9 percent of the West Bank, while Netanyahu’s predecessor Ehud Olmert proposed keeping 6.5 percent. Since Abbas and Olmert last met in 2008, the situation has become even more complex. Netanyahu has rejected Israel’s pre-1967 frontier as a starting point for border talks and says east Jerusalem is not up for discussion. There are also more settlers: The number of Israelis living in the West Bank and east Jerusalem has increased from 489,000 five years ago to around 530,000 in 2011, according to government figures. Settler officials recently put the current total at 568,000. The Netanyahu government says it is largely building in east Jerusalem and West Bank “settlement blocs” it intends to keep — although is doubtful the Palestinians would sign off on such a map. And the Israeli anti-settlement group Peace Now says that under Netanyahu, more than one-third of settlement housing starts were deep inside the West Bank. In a swap deal that falls somewhere between Abbas’ and Olmert’s proposals, well over 100,000 Israeli settlers would have to leave their homes. Some in Israel warned that at the current rate of building, partition will soon be physically impossible. Jerusalem expert Daniel Seidemann pointed to unilateral Israeli changes in the eastern sector of the city, sought by the Palestinians as a capital, in the past five years. Israel has significantly expanded its settlement there, effectively dictating the eventual borders — if the city is to be divided along ethnic lines, as the U.S. has proposed. The foothold of Jewish settlers in east Jerusalem’s so-called holy basin, the area around major shrines of Judaism, Islam and Christianity, has “increased exponentially over the past five years,” Seidemann warned.

Inspired by the movement behind Egypt’s military coup, pro-democracy activists in Bahrain are hoping to gain new momentum by calling for nationwide protests Wednesday. Authorities warned they will “forcefully confront” any large demonstrations, raising fears of more violence in the strategic Gulf kingdom.

Palestinians to resume negotiations. In all, 104 veteran prisoners are to be freed in four stages, depending on progress in the border talks, for which the U.S. has allotted nine months. Most of the prisoners have already served more than 20 years, many for deadly attacks on Israelis. Angry relatives of some of the victims spoke on TV and radio news programs, protesting the release of convicted killers in what they considered a pointless gesture. Israel’s Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected their appeal, clearing the way for the release. The negotiators meeting Wednesday — Justice Minister Tzipi Livni and Netanyahu aide Yitzhak Molcho for Israel, and Abbas advisers Saeb Erekat

and Mohammed Shtayyeh for the Palestinians — have spent countless hours with each other in previous talks and are familiar with the issues down to the tiniest detail. That’s not a recipe for success, though. The sides made progress in previous rounds, starting in 2000, and the outlines of a deal have emerged — a Palestinian state in the vast majority of the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem, lands captured by Israel in 1967, with border adjustments to enable Israel to annex land where most of the more than 500,000 settlers live. However, talks broke down each time before the two sides reached the truly explosive issues: dividing Jerusalem

SNUFFY SMITH

BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Thursday, Aug. 15, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Unexpected opportunities to travel today might excite you. Others might hear surprising news related to higher education, publishing, the media, medicine and the law. "Stay tuned." TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Keep your pockets open, because gifts, goodies and treasures from others might come your way today. Someone might spontaneously do a favor for you. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be prepared to go more than halfway when dealing with others, because the Moon is opposite your sign today. Something will please you -- something you least expect. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A female co-worker or companion might introduce you to new technology at work today. A new staff member or new ways of doing things will provide an interesting change. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Spontaneous get-togethers, parties, sports events and creative activities will delight you today. However, parents should keep an eye on their kids, because this is a mildly accident-prone day for them. (Do you know where they are?) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Something unexpected will change your home routine today. A female family member could have surprising news. Stock the fridge in case an unexpected guest appears. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Spontaneous short trips, fresh ideas and a chance to meet new faces will make this an interesting day for you. Stay light on your feet and go with the flow. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Keep an eye on your money today. You might find money; you might lose money. If shopping, keep your receipts and count your change. (Anything could happen.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) The Moon is in your sign today dancing with wild, wacky Uranus. This makes you feel independent and energetic. (Your Spidey sense is heightened as well.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Fresh answers from unexpected sources will pay off in your research today. If you're looking for solutions, dig deep. A sudden breakthrough in something could be helpful. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A female friend or acquaintance might surprise you today.

Nuclear unit fails key security test

In an Oct. 30, 2012, file photo a boat floats in the driveway of a home in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy in Lindenhurst, N.Y. Even in the first days after the storm, mobile legal clinics sprang up in flooded shore communities to help people apply for emergency aid and navigate the federal bureaucracy. Nearly 10 months later, some are still operating and the issues they are dealing with have become increasingly complex.

WASHINGTON (AP) — An Air Force unit that operates one-third of the nation’s land-based nuclear missile force has failed a safety and security inspection, marking the second major setback this year for a force charged with the military’s most sensitive mission, the general in charge of the Air Force’s nuclear force told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The failure was recorded by the 341st Missile Wing at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont., which is responsible for 150 Minuteman 3 nuclear missiles that stand on 24/7 alert for potential launch against targets around the globe. Lt. Gen. James M. Kowalski, commander of Air Force Global Strike Command, which is responsible for the Minuteman 3 force as well as nuclear bombers, said the 341st wing failed a “small team exercise” as part

NEW YORK (AP) — First they needed blankets and generators. But before long, many of Superstorm Sandy’s bedraggled survivors also needed a lawyer. Thousands of people with damaged homes and businesses have sought help with legal headaches ranging from fights with building contractors to insurance disputes. In the first days after the Oct. 29 storm, mobile legal clinics sprang up in flooded communities to help people apply for emergency aid and navigate the federal bureaucracy. Nearly 10 months later, some are still operating, and the issues have become increasingly complex. “There are so many different layers … and a lot of these people can’t afford to hire a private lawyer,” said Patricia E. Salkin, dean of the Touro Law Center. The school, a short drive from the ocean in Central Islip on Long Island, opened a legal hotline a few days after the storm and later established a full-time law clinic for Sandy survivors. Since opening in January, the Disaster Relief Clinic has had as many as 275 clients. Another 1,400 have called the hotline. The clinic is staffed by students, two part-time lawyers and a full-time director, and it has gotten help from visiting volunteers in recent months, including, last week, students from the Southern University Law Center in Baton Rouge, La. Similar legal aid efforts continue throughout the storm zone, many providing free services to people who can’t afford a lawyer. The Robin Hood Foundation, which distributed money raised by a Dec. 12 rock concert at Madison Square Garden, wound up giving 12 percent of the $70 million haul to groups providing legal assistance, including Legal Services of New Jersey, the Urban Justice Center, the Legal Aid Society and the Lawyers Alliance for New York.

of a broader inspection. The exercise failure meant the whole inspection was a failure, he said. Kowalski said this did not call into question the unit’s safe operation of nuclear missiles but was its second failure of a safety and security inspection in just over three years. “I wouldn’t necessarily call it a pattern,” he said, since a large number of those involved in the latest inspection were not there for the previous failure in February 2010. Kowalski would not discuss details of the failure or explain the exercise, citing security, except to say that it did not involve the crews who monitor the missiles from inside underground launch control capsules. That left open the possibility that it involved airmen responsible for security, weapons

maintenance or other aspects of the highly sensitive mission. “This unit fumbled on this exercise,” Kowalski told the AP by telephone from his headquarters at Barksdale Air Force Base, La. In a written statement posted to its website, Kowalski’s command said there had been “tactical-level errors” during the exercise, revealing “discrepancies.” Without more details it is difficult to make a reliable judgment about the extent and severity of the problem uncovered at Malmstrom. Asked whether the Air Force intends to take disciplinary action against anyone as a result of the inspection failure, Kowalski said the Air Force is “looking into it.” He said those who failed the exercise would be retested within three months.

Egypt: pro-Morsi vigil takes on permanent look CAIRO (AP) — Instead of rushing for the exits, Islamist supporters of Egypt’s ousted president are replacing tents with wooden huts in their sprawling Cairo encampment. Barbershops have sprung up and many tents now have satellite dishes. There’s little sign of alarm over the potential for violence if security forces move to clear this ground zero of resistance to the coup six weeks ago. On Tuesday, solar power panels were added to the encampment’s several generators in case authorities cut off power. The post-coup government has repeatedly warned that the sit-ins outside the Rabaah al-Adawiya mosque and a smaller one on the other side of the city cannot stay. They portray them as a threat to national security and launch pads for terrorism. The protesters say their vigils are peaceful and will end only when Mohammed Morsi is reinstated as president. As the faceoff has dragged on, participants in the larger of the two vigils have had time to weave a narrative about their cause immersed in religious fervor, revolutionary rhetoric and martyrdom. Thrown into the mix is the evolution of the protest camp into a sort of autonomous entity with its own institutions and social order. Many protesters frame the standoff as pitting Islam’s true followers against enemies of the faith or between revolutionaries and forces of darkness determined to rob Egyptians of their freedom. “We are here standing up to a world of infidels that refuses to follow Islam,” shouted a speaker on the sit-in’s main stage one recent evening. “Victory may come late because society is not equipped to accommodate righteousness, goodness and justice represented by the nation of the faithful,” declares a sign outside a tent that housed a group of men discussing Shariah Islamic laws. “The people here are on the right side of history,” said Gehad el-Haddad, a spokesman for Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood. “We are not going to let go of the revolution. We are here for as long as it is needed. It is all up to the will of the people.” But other facts about this crisis go unaddressed. Little is said about the millions of Egyptians who took to the streets on June 30 to call on Morsi to step down, and even less about the former president’s widely perceived failure to effectively tackle any of Egypt’s many problems, from a woeful economy and high unemployment to the shortages of staple goods and power cuts. Also, in portraying the encampment as representing all Egyptians, the pro-

testers say little about the Muslim Brotherhood being the vigil’s chief organizer, and, judging by the proliferation of men in beards and women in Islamic dress, almost all the protesters are Islamists. The sit-ins began as a show of support for Morsi against mass protests demanding that he step down. After military chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi ousted him on July 3 after just one year in office, the protesters’ chief demand became the reinstatement of Egypt’s first freely elected president, with 52 percent of the vote. El-Sissi is demonized in virtually every corner of the vigil’s site, branded a traitor and a murderer. A woman in the camp is hawking colorful paper serpents that zigzag when pulled from their string. “El-Sissi for two pounds! El-Sissi for two pounds!” she yells. “They stole the president I voted for and only when he is back will I leave and go home,” said Tawfeeq el-Ourabi, a 72-year-old retired army officer from the Nile Delta who is participating in the vigil. A father of four and a veteran of Egypt’s 1967 and 1973 wars with Israel, el-Ourabi said he did not doubt elSissi’s patriotism but is convinced that Morsi would have delivered had he been allowed to complete his four-year term. Like many in the vigil, el-Ourabi said he was not a Brotherhood member. Some 10,000 people at the main encampment are permanent protesters, but the number swells to as many as 40,000 in the evening. Many of the protesters are poor Egyptians from rural regions. Large tents bear signs identifying the province its occupants come from. El-Haddad acknowledges that many of the protesters are not from Cairo or the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria, Egypt’s two largest cities, but from regions that Morsi was determined to focus on, reversing decades of neglect. The Brotherhood, he says, is in charge of security, logistics, the field hospital and cleaning at the vigil site, but leaves it up to the protesters to choose where they live and what they do. “We don’t really care where the people in the sit-in come from. People are here because they are against military dictatorship and the coup. You cannot defeat a population. The military might wipe all of us out, but people will continue to flock to the streets.” The Muslim Brotherhood is by far Egypt’s largest political group. Decades spent underground to escape government crackdowns have enabled it to hone organizational skills that, among other things, ensured its domination of elections held since the 2011 ouster of autocrat Hosni Mubarak.

Study: Half who now buy own health plan to get aid WASHINGTON (AP) — About half the people who now buy their own health insurance— and potentially would face higher premiums next year under President Barack Obama’s health care law— would qualify for federal tax credits to offset rate shock, according to a new private study. Many other people, however, earn too much money to be eligible for help, and could end up paying more. The estimate, being released Wednesday by the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation, tries to answer one of the biggest remaining questions about the impact of Obama’s law on American families: Will consumers wince — or even balk — when they see the premiums for the new plans? The study found that 48 percent of families currently buying their own coverage would be eligible for tax credits next year, averaging $5,548 per family, or 66 percent of the average cost of a benchmark “silver” policy offered through new state insurance markets. “About half of the people won’t be paying the sticker price,” said Gary Claxton, director of the health care marketplace project at Kaiser, an information clearinghouse on the health care system. “The people who get help will get quite a lot of help.” “Many, but certainly not all, of the people who don’t get tax credits will pay more,” he said. “How much more will be a function of a lot of different things.” For example, some people who don’t qualify for tax credits may get jobs that offer coverage, added Claxton, a coauthor of the study. And the bottom line on premiums may not be clear until sometime this fall, after the Health and Human Services Department releases rates for more than 30 states where the federal government is taking the lead setting up new insurance markets for individuals and small businesses. People can enroll starting Oct. 1, and coverage becomes effective Jan. 1. Most people currently covered by employer plans are not affected. The law is likely to increase the sticker price for individually purchased coverage

next year for several reasons: — Insurers will have to cover people with pre-existing medical conditions, whose needs are costlier to provide for. — Policies must provide certain standard benefits, including prescription drugs, mental health and substance abuse treatment and rehabilitative services. — Policyholders’ annual out-of-pocket costs will be capped. So far, premiums reported by a number of individual states have been coming in lower than initially projected by the Congressional Budget Office. But they are higher — according to industry and consultants — than what people now typically pay for individual plans, which tend to be bare-bones coverage. However, the law also will pump in billions of dollars in federal tax credits to help the uninsured pay premiums — and ease cost increases for many who are currently buying the skimpy individual policies. The money will go directly to the insurance plan, and policyholders will pay the difference — a discounted sticker price, in effect. The tax credits, available on a sliding scale based on family income, will be offered to people who don’t have access to affordable coverage through their jobs and buy policies through the new state markets. Those making between 100-400 percent of the federal poverty level — between $11,500 and $46,000 for an individual and $23,550 and $94,200 for a family of four — are eligible for some level of help. Families on the low end of the scale will pay 2 percent of their income for a benchmark plan, while those on the upper end will pay 9.5 percent. It’s expected that a clear majority of customers in the new markets will be eligible for tax credits. That’s because the pool will also include uninsured people, who tend to have lower incomes than those who can currently afford to buy their own coverage. The share will vary from state to state. HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius recently estimated that in Texas, as many as 9 in 10 people buying coverage in the new market will get a break on costs.

Young Trojans struggle vs. talented Elks Red Devils open season with win Staff Reports

CENTERVILLE — Troy’s young team fought hard in Tuesday’s season opener, but Centerville was just too much to overcome in a 4-1 loss. Freshman Hannah Essick won her first varsity match at first singles, rallying from an early deficit to defeat Ashley Amiri 5-7, 6-1, 6-1. “Hannah had a nice win at first, falling behind 4-1 only to come back to 5-5 before losing the first set,” Troy coach Mark Goldner said. “She was able to get off to 4-1 leads in both the second and third sets to pull out our only win.” At second singles, Maggie Hennessy lost to Victoria Mohr 6-3, 6-3. At third singles, Shelby Arnett lost to Natalie Fishman 6-4, 6-3. At first doubles, Noelle Culp and Marina Wehrkamp lost to Gina Roesch and Emily Sewall 6-0, 6-2. At second doubles,

Austin Dillon is keeping his expectations at a reasonable level heading into the weekend. See Page 16

Aki Foran and Akari Nagata lost to Abby Roesch and Brooke Flory 6-3, 6-1. “Naggie was a little inconsistent against a senior player at second, and Shelby had a close match at third,” Goldner said. “Centerville’s doubles teams are more experienced, which showed against our two doubles teams. “Overall I was pleased with our effort, but I know that we can play better as a team.” Troy (0-1) hosts Springfield Thursday in its home opener. Tippecanoe 4, Catholic Central 1 TIPP CITY — Tippecanoe doesn’t have a lot of familiar names this season. And those names may jump around in the lineup, too — but that will be one of the Red Devils’ strengths, said coach Rhonda Rains. “We had a lot of freshmen come out this year, so we’ve gotten a lot younger,” she said. “But a lot of these young girls are at about the same level, so we’re going to have a lot of flexibility. And I think that’s going to help us. And the girls we do have returning have a lot of experience, too, so they can help the younger girls out.” It all worked out in Tuesday’s season

opener as the Devils defeated Catholic Central 4-1 at home. At second singles, Ali Merrick won 6-4, 6-3. At third singles, Ladia Coning won 7-5, 6-2. At first doubles, Katie Gross and Kennedy Reeder won 6-2, 6-1. At second doubles, Miu Tanaka and Nefeli Supinger won 6-0, 6-0. At first singles, Hailey Winblad los 6-4, 6-4. Tippecanoe (1-0) hosts Lehman Friday before traveling to Thomas Cloud Park Saturday morning for the Central Buckeye Conference preseason tournament. Miami Valley 5, Lehman 0 SIDNEY — The Lehman Cavaliers had a tough test to start the season, falling to Miami Valley 5-0. At first singles, Julia Harrelson lost 6-0, 6-0. At second singles, Sarah Gravunder lost 6-0, 6-0. At third singles, Diana Gibson lost 6-1, 7-5. At first doubles, Meghan Burner and Elaina Snyder lost 6-0, 6-1. At second doubles, Kaitlin Gillman and Emily Hoersten lost 6-0, 6-1.

Dull does the trick Troy tops Tipp thanks to “boring” pars Staff Reports

TROY — Troy coach Marvk Evilsizor is perfectly fine with boring. It worked against Tippecanoe on Tuesday. The Trojans only had two birdies on the day but played consistent enough to par plenty of holes, which meant low scores and a 153-161 victory over the Red Devils at Miami Shores Tuesday. “Out of all six guys, we only had two birdies. But we had a lot of pars — and to me, pars are good,” Evilsizor said. “The guys think they’re boring. But I’ll take a boring round where we have three guys under 40. “Birdies are flashy, and they want flash. But you look at Connor (Super’s) round. He had one bogey and eight pars. I’ll take that any day.” Super and Kaleb Tittle led the Trojans (3-0)

BEREA (AP) — Browns running back Trent Richardson came off the practice field and was asked how his injured shin was coming along. “I don’t even know what shin y’all talking about,” he said to reporters, flashing his wide smile. Richardson says he’s as healthy as he’s been since starring at Alabama. The Browns aren’t sure if that’s good enough to play him in an exhibition game. Not wanting to take any risks with their secondyear star, the Browns didn’t play R i c h a r d s o n Richardson in last week’s opener against St. Louis and may keep him on the sideline Thursday night when they host the Detroit Lions. Richardson has been slowed by a right shin injury during training camp, but he wants to play and is hoping coach Rob Chudzinski decides to put him on the field. “Whatever he thinks is best, I’ll leave it up to him,” Richardson said. “I’m pretty sure he’s going to do what’s best for the team and the decision is going to be on him.” Chudzinski is expected to wait until Wednesday to announce whether Richardson will face the Lions. If Richardson is 100 percent healthy, there seems to be no reason why the Browns wouldn’t want to use him. After all, they are breaking in a new offensive system and the versatile back, who rushed for 950 yards as a rookie despite playing most of last season with broken ribs, is perhaps the club’s most valuable player.

Area football teams hit the field for scrimmages Staff Reports

Dillon looking for top-15 finish

August 14, 2013

Josh Brown

CASSTOWN — At this point in the season, everyone’s just happy to line up against someone that is not a teammate. “We’re out there playing against somebody other than ourselves, so that’s good,” Miami East coach Max Current said. “We’ve lined up against ourselves every day. We need to see something different.” And his Vikings showed some good and bad things — and even the ability to turn bad into good — in a scrimmage against Lehman Tuesday night. Quarterback Braxton Donaldson fumbled a snap at one point, but he recovered while still on his feet and threw to Michael Fellers, who took it in for one of the Viking varsity’s three touchdowns. Robbie Adams had the other two. “We fumbled the snap, but Braxton

picked up up off the ground and flung it to Michael,” Current said. “I thought we had some good drives, too. Our first drive we got the ball down there but just couldn’t put it in. “Defensively, we got a couple of turnovers, intercepted a couple of passes and forced some fumbles. But offensively, we fumbled a couple of times, too. The varsity won 3-1, and the JVs won 2-1. I was really pleased with the job our JVs did against them.” The Vikings host Springfield Catholic Central at 6 p.m. Friday for their second of three preseason games. “Overall, it was a positive scrimmage,” Current said. “We got to see some things we need to work on.” Milton-Union vs. Covington WEST MILTON — Milton-Union coach

Mark Lane got his first taste on the sidelines as a head coach in a scrimmage against a tough Covington team Tuesday night. And, like most coaches this time of year, he saw room for improvement. “Overall, I thought we did alright,” Lane said. “We have some things we have to improve on, some technique things we need to clean up. “There were certain things I liked, certain things I didn’t like. Now we have those things on film, we will watch it and figure out what we need to clean up.” Chase Martens and Kenton Dickison were two standouts for the Bulldogs on this night. Martens ran the ball effectively against the Bucc defense, and Dickison shined on defense. The Bulldogs will face Kenton Ridge in another scrimmage Saturday.

Fan who fell to his death knew Turner Field well

ATLANTA (AP) — Lifetime Atlanta Braves fan Ronald Lee Homer Jr. knew the stadium where he fell to his death well. He attended three or four games a month at Turner Field and watched as many televised games as he could, his father said. He always had on a Braves hat. On Monday night, Homer was waiting out a rain delay in a fourthlevel smoking area with a 42-inch railing that would have come up to the 6-foot-6 fan’s midsection. He’d told his mother during a phone conversation that the rain was letting up and he was about to head to his seat for the game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Shortly afterwards, he fell about 85 feet into a parking lot. “He said ‘I love you mom, and I said ‘I love you too’ and that was it,” his mother, Connie Homer, told The Associated Press on Tuesday morning. While it’s not clear exactly why he fell, police say the death around 8:30 appears to have been an accident and didn’t involve foul play. At least four witnesses told police that no one else was standing near him when he fell. A police report released Tuesday says Homer was unconscious and wasn’t breathing when paramedics arrived. He was later pronounced dead at a hospital. Toxicology tests vwere pending, but the medical examiner says he died from injuries in the

fall. The frequency of such falls around the country — including two others in Atlanta in the past year — raises the question of whether stadiums are safe enough. The International Building Code, which is the accepted industry standard, has a minimum height requirement of 42 inches for guard rails that act as protective barriers in open-sided areas such as walkways or smoking platforms. Railings in front of seated areas must be 26 inches. The Braves play the Philadelphia Phillies at 7:10 p.m. a at Turner Field, and athe team planned to observe a moment of silence before the game. “We are saddened by this tragic incident and will continue our investigation along with the Atlanta Police Department,” said Braves spokeswoman Beth Marshall. She declined to discuss the circumstances of the death or whether the team was planning safety changes. Connie Homer said her son followed the team through losing seasons as well as winning ones. “It didn’t matter if they were winning, losing or what — he’s been a Braves fan forever,” she said. His father, Ronald Homer, said the family is hurting. “This this is going to hurt us for the rest of our life,” he said. “When you lose a kid, not only your kid but your best friend,

The upper-level platform from where 30-year-old Ronald Homer fell into the player’s parking lot at Monday night’s game is seen at Turner Field Tuesday in Atlanta. It was at least the third time a sports fan has fallen from a stadium in Atlanta in the past year. Homer fell more than 60 feet (18 meters) from the upper levels of Turner Field onto a parking lot on Monday night. At least four witnesses told police that no one else was standing near him when he fell over a fourth-level railing into a parking lot for players. Homer’s death appeared to be an accident, authorities said.

too, it’s bad.” Homer grew up in Conyers, Ga., and graduated in 2001 from Rockdale High School, where he was involved in student government. He was single, had one sister and did landscape work for a living. “He was big hearted, just a great guy, very respectful,” his mother said. Connie Homer said she’s heard nothing from authorities as to what might have caused her son, who was a smoker, to fall. “They called us up to

the hospital and they told us he was gone,” she said. “The whole thing is surreal.” Monday’s accident wasn’t the first fatal fall by a fan at Turner Field, and two other people fell from heights at the city’s pro football stadium in the past year. Isaac Grubb, 20, of Lenoir City, Tenn., died after falling over a railing at the Georgia Dome during a football game between Tennessee and North Carolina State on Aug. 31, 2012. Authorities said he landed on another man seated

in the lower level, and that alcohol was involved. A man fell about 25 feet over a staircase railing at a Georgia TechMiami football game in the Georgia Dome on Sept. 22, 2012 and was not seriously injured. In May 2008, a 25-yearold Cumming, Ga. man suffered head injuries when he fell down a stairwell at Turner Field during a game between the Braves and the New York Mets and later died. Police found that alcohol was involved. The Braves have said the death was the first

one at the park that didn’t involve a medical condition. Turner Field became the Braves’ home in 1997, a year after serving as the site of events for the 1996 Summer Olympics. Homer’s father said the stadium should have been designed to prevent such falls. “I would like to see the building built to prevent something like this happening to another family,” he said. “It should have been better engineered from the jumpstreet when they built that stadium.”

Setting the bar high

Dillon wants top 15 finish filling in for Stewart CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Austin Dillon is keeping his expectations at a reasonable level heading into the weekend. Dillon said Tuesday his goal is to finish in the top 15 when he fills in for the injured Tony Stewart at Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Michigan International Speedway. “I think that would be where we need to start and anything past that would be a good day,” Dillon said. “I’m just looking forward to getting in the car and seeing what I can do.” The 23-year-old Dillon says there’s some added pressure stepping in for Stewart, someone he considers one of his racing idols. But he said Stewart has shown great confidence in him driving the No. 14 Chevrolet. “Tony texted to say, ‘I’m glad I have a good wheel man in my racecar this weekend.’ That’s pretty special to me,” Dillon said. Stewart is recovering from a broken right leg suffered in a sprint car crash Aug. 5 at Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa. It’s unclear when Stewart will return to racing, but in the meantime Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) continues to field his No. 14 Chevrolet SS in the Sprint Cup Series. There’s a chance Dillon could run more races for Stewart while he continues to heal but nothing has been

decided. SHS has not named a driver for the Aug. 24 race at Bristol. Dillon said he’s open to the idea of running more races for SHS, although he wants to keep a balance with the Nationwide Series schedule. He’s currently leading the Nationwide point standings. Dillon said he feels like running on the Sprint Cup series will only help his chances of landing a full-time ride on the Sprint Cup series in the future. “There are still some things as far as experience that I’m learning,” Dillon said. “I think it’s a great opportunity. I want to accept the challenge and go after it.” Dillon called it a “humbling experience” to be asked to drive Stewart’s car. Dillon has run nine career Sprint Cup races. His best finish is 11th earlier this year at Michigan. Stewart finished in the top five in the race earlier this year at Michigan, so Dillon said he plans to pick Stewart’s brain about how he drove the car, but will leave the setup to the SHS crew. “I told them to set up the car how you think is fastest,” Dillon said. “I don’t want anything to do with it. I just want to drive it. Tight or loose is all I’m going to give them… They’re expectations are low at this point, so you want to go out there and run all of the laps and have a good finish.”

Tippecanoe by six strokes in 18 holes. “We go to the Homan and place third … I’ll take that, too,” Evilsizor said. “We had a couple of scores that were uncharacteristic Monday, but they had the course in great condition and some of the pins were pretty tough. A lot of teams had a tough day scoring Monday.” Both teams get the day off today before returning to action Thursday. Troy hosts Wayne and Tippecanoe travels to the Greenville Invitational. Homan Memorial PIQUA — Both Troy and Tippecanoe put together strong efforts Monday at the Homan Invitational. But in the end, no team could match what the Tecumseh Arrows did. Tecumseh had four golfers 80 or below, running away with the team title with a total of 380. Minster placed second with a score of 326. The Trojans (335) and Red Devils (341) rounded out the top four. Connor Super led Troy with a 79, Grant Kasler finished with an 83, Kaleb Tittle shot an 86, Dalton Cascaden carded an 87 and Troy Moore ended the day with a 90. For the Red Devils, Wyatt Wilson led the charge with a score of 80, Evan Hood and Taylor Priddy both had 86, while Brad Calhoun and Joey Fischer each finished the day with 89. Milton-Union, which placed 12th with 372, edged Miami East in the team standings, thanks to a fifthscore tiebreaker that went to Sean Lorton (98). Leading Bulldogs was Mitch Gooslin (90), Josh Martin finished with a 92, Zach Glodrey had a 94 and Joey Smedley ended with a 96. For Miami East (13th, 372), Scott Kirby led the way with a 87, Dylan Martinez finished with a 93, followed by Zach Ostendorf (94), Ryan Bergman (98) and Devyn Carson (106). Lehman placed 15th overall with a score of 386. Sam Dean (84) led the way for the Cavaliers, while Zack Scott finished with a 97, Mitchell Shroyer had a 100, Michael Reinhart scored a 105 and Tyler Scott carded a 107. Covington finished the day in 17th

as a team (408). For the Buccs, Levi Winn was the top scorer (91), while Joe Slusher carded a 90. Also competing for the Buccs were Jacob Blair (108), Ty Boehringer (115) and Matt Carder (124). • Girls Sycamore Invitational HAMILTON — The Tippecanoe Red Devils finished 10th at the Sycamore Invitational Tuesday, with Lindsey Murray taking second place overall at Walden Pond. Murray shot a 74, tied for runnerup. Erika Brownlee shot 84, Tori Merrick shot 104, Alli Chitwood shot 109 and Sammie Rowland shot 110. “It’s fairly tough down there. We didn’t drive the ball well off the tee,” Tippecanoe coach Scott Murray said. “I was happy with our play around the greens, but we need some work off the tee. There are a couple of fairways that are pretty tight, and we just put too many out of bounds off the tee. “Going up against the Masons and Ursuline Academies, I think the girls walked away from today not feeling like they got wiped out. And that’s a positive thing.” Tippecanoe gets another shot at Versailles — the team it tied with but lost on a tiebreaker at the Covington Bucc Invitational last week — Thursday at the Versailles Invitational. Versailles 180, Miami East 226 ST. PARIS — Miami East struggled in its first dual match of the season Tuesday, falling to Versailles 180-226. Sam Denlinger led the Vikings with a 53, Macaleh Thompson shot 56, Kiera Fellers shot 58, Carrie Wilson shot 59 and Meghan Petit shot 62. The previous day, the Vikings shot 483 as a team for a fifth-place finish at the Arcanum Lady Trojan Golf Invitational Monday at Beechwood Golf Course. Fellers was the top performer for the Vikings, with matching scores on the front and back (56). She finished the day with a 112. Denlinger had a 114, Wilson finished with a 122 and Petit ended the day with a 135. Miami East returns to action Aug. 26 against Russia.

New coach, new conference for Cincinnati

CINCINNATI (AP) — Quarterback Brendon Kay is still getting used to Cincinnati’s new home. The Bearcats are in the American Athletic Conference after trying and failing to join the exodus from the Big East to another conference last year. Crosstown rival Xavier is the one playing in the basketball-only Big East now. “It’s different,” the sixth-year senior said. A lot is different in Cincinnati, with coach Tommy Tuberville bringing a new approach and new offense to a team that shared the final Big East football title last season. The Bearcats return an experienced offensive line and Kay, who took over for Munchie Legaux during the season and went 4-1 as a starter, including a dramatic 48-34 win over Duke that earned him the Belk Bowl MVP honor. Kay got a sixth season from the NCAA because of so many injuries during

his career. He’s immersed in learning his third offense at Cincinnati. “It’s different, but I’m comfortable with it now,” Kay said. “It’s normal, it’s natural to just go out and run this offense now.” The defense? That’s another matter. Five things to watch during the Bearcats’ latest season of big change: 1. Tommy’s transition: The last time the Bearcats changed coaches, they had a very rough time. Butch Jones won only four games in his first season, then got the Bearcats back to title contention. “My job is to pick it up and keep it going, make it better,” Tuberville said. Having an experienced quarterback helps a lot. Early games at home against Purdue and at Illinois will provide a hint of how it will go. 2. Kay in charge: The NCAA granted Kay an extra season because of injuries in 2008 and 2011. He was first on the depth chart during camp

and gets to work behind an experienced offensive line that will be one of UC’s strengths. Kay completed 63 percent of his passes for 1,298 yards and 10 touchdowns with only two interceptions after taking over for Legaux, who completed only 52 percent and had nine interceptions with 13 touchdowns. “The big thing is the players respect him for what he’s done, how he’s done it, how he’s persevered,” Tuberville said. “I judge a quarterback by the respect other players have for him, and he’s earned that.” Legaux is expected to be the backup. 3. No Winn: Running back George Winn was a strength of the offense last season, a power runner who picked up 1,370 yards with 13 touchdowns. Winn is gone, and there’s not much experience left. Ralph David Abernathy IV is the starter, but he’s only 5-foot7 and 161 pounds. The junior carried 69 times for 394 yards and three

touchdowns last season. “Ralph is the No. 1, but he’s not an every-down back,” Tuberville said. Sophomore Tion Green is his backup after gaining only 70 yards on 16 carries as a freshman. 4. Getting defensive: Tuberville notes that he’s a “defensive guy,” but that’s the part of the team that will give him the most worries. The Bearcats have little experience in their secondary — they’ll have a sophomore at one cornerback spot and a redshirt freshman at safety backed up by another redshirt freshman safety. The linebackers are solid, but there are concerns about the ends. The main point is to avoid breakdowns caused by the inexperience. “We’ll keep it simple,” Tuberville said. “As I told them, we’re not going to do anything where they’re not going to know what to do. If we’ve just got to run one front and a couple of coverages, that’s what we’ll do.”

Quality Service & Integrity

In this April 10 photo, Cincinnati head coach Tommy Tuberville watches the team’s final spring NCAA college football practice in Cincinnati. Tuberville will be coaching in his first season at Cincinnati which is moving to the American Athletic Conference.

5. Who’s watching: The Bearcats had trouble filling 35,000-seat Nippert Stadium even during their most successful seasons under Brian Kelly. They drew only 21,171 fans on senior night last season. With them now in a conference with an even lower profile than the Big East, it’ll be interesting

Wilson, Johnston among Buckeyes’ top newcomers

COLUMBUS (AP) — One comes from the Lone Star State, the other from Down Under. Both first-year players arrived at Ohio State recently, but now find themselves in the middle of things as the Buckeyes prep for their season opener. The most talked-about player in fall camp has been a smallish freshman running back out of DeSoto, Texas, named Dontre Wilson. Don’t be surprised if you hear his HURRY IN FOR LABOR DAY SAVINGS FROM SERTA! name a lot this season. “We’ve got new guys coming in, new guys who can make plays,” quarterback Braxton Miller said, referring to Wilson and others, including Aussie punter Cameron Johnston. Wilson has breakneck speed, zigs and zags through traffic and has a penchant for making defenders hug air. “I think I did pretty good,” he said of his first week in camp. “I just worked really hard, ran 2230 Michigan Ave. 2485 W.

Here’s coach Urban Meyer on Wilson: “He’s got something that we didn’t have last year and that’s just jets. … And he doesn’t care. He just goes * hard.” Wide receiver Evan Spencer is fast. But he has had his eyes opened by Wilson: “Man, I’m going to tell you, that little joker www.francisfurniture.com right there is quick. He’s so explosive. You never know where he’s going to go, what kind of move he’s going to make.” Linebacker Joshua Perry has yet to meet Wilson head to head on a play.

to see how many fans they draw in the final season before Nippert gets an overhaul. Small crowds not only cut into revenues but make the football program less attractive as a major program. • Predicted finish in conference: 2nd.

videos of his punting ability. He had spent one year at Deakin University before attending the Melbourne-based punter/ kicker training school Prokick Australia. Since the Buckeyes lost Ben Buchanan to graduation, they had a vacancy. So they took a flyer on the former track and cricket athlete and Australian Rules Football player. Now he’s the starter. “Isn’t that an amazing story?” special teams coach Kerry Coombs said. “We went through an awful lot of connections and conversations and hard work and I spent an awful lot of time learning to speak Australian, which is remarkably different from English. We found a kid who I believe is truly special.” Meyer is as surprised as anyone about finding Johnston. “He’s a tremendous kid, 21 years old, so he’s not that 17-year-old, wideeyed guy that looks at you like, ‘What planet am I on?’” he said. “He’s a fast athlete, so we might be able to do some things with him, moving the pocket and so forth.” Well versed in the rules of American-style football due to education at the training school, Johnston, who has four full years of eligibility, is fitting in quite nicely. “It’s not too bad,” he said. “Australia and the U.S. are pretty similar, so there’s not too many differences. And Columbus is such a nice place.” Lots of other freshmen are having an impact, particularly on defense where Ohio State lost all four linemen, two linebackers and a corner from last year’s 12-0 season. Joey Bosa, Michael Hill, Billy Price and Tyquan Lewis up front, Mike Mitchell at linebacker and Vonn Bell, Cam Burrows and Eli Apple in the secondary are all making contributions. Junior Michael Bennett is penciled in as a starter on the defensive line. He can’t believe what he’s seen out of the first-year players. “I don’t see a young D-lineman who isn’t really good,” he said. “I’m trying to think back to when I was a freshman and these guys I feel are on a whole ‘nother level than I was. They’re smart, they’re really talented and they’re really picking stuff up quick and they have an intensity that’s really good.”
