Manning wants to live as a woman FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) — Three years after rocking the Pentagon by leaking a mountain of secrets, Bradley Manning created a whole new set of potential complications for the military Thursday by asking to be known as a woman named Chelsea and to undergo hormone treatment.

Manning ’s gender-identity struggle — a sense of being a woman trapped in a man’s body — was brought up by the defense at the court-martial, and a photo of the soldier in a blond wig and lipstick was submitted as evidence.

But the latest twist, announced the morning after Manning was sentenced to 35 years in the military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., surprised many and confronted the Pentagon with questions about where and how the Army private is to be imprisoned.

The former Army intelligence analyst disclosed the decision in a statement provided to NBC’s “Today” show.

“As I transition into this next phase of my life, I want everyone to know the real me. I am Chelsea Manning. I am a female.

Given the way that I feel, and

have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible,” the statement read.

The statement asked people to use the feminine pronoun when referring to Manning. It was signed “Chelsea E. Manning” and included a handwritten signature.

The Associated Press Stylebook calls for use of the pronoun that is either an individual’s preference or is consistent with the way the person lives publicly. The news agency said in a statement it would let that “be our guide as this story develops.”

However, Leavenworth spokesman George Marcec said later Thursday that if Manning wants to go by Chelsea in prison, a name change would have to be approved in court and then a petition submitted with the Army to change its records.

The AP said it was seeking additional details from Manning ’s attorney, David Coombs, and until then would use only gender-neutral terms in reference to Manning.

Coombs did not respond to email and telephone mes-

sages but told “Today” he hopes Leavenworth officials will accommodate Manning’s request for hormone treatment, which typically involves high doses of estrogen to promote breast development and other female characteristics.

However, George Wright, an Army spokesman at the Pentagon, said the Army does not provide such treatment or sex-reassignment surgery. He said soldiers behind bars are given access to psychiatrists and other mental health professionals.

A lawsuit could be in the offing. Coombs said he will do “everything in my power” to make sure Manning gets his way. And the American Civil Liberties Union, the Human Rights Campaign and other advocates for gays, bisexuals and transgender people said Manning deserves the treatment.

“In the United States, it is illegal to deny health care to prisoners. That is fairly settled law,” said Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality. “Now the Army can claim this isn’t

health care, but they have the weight of the medical profession and science against them.”

A Federal Bureau of Prisons policy implemented last year requires federal prisons to develop treatment plans, including hormone treatment if necessary, for inmates diagnosed with gender-identity disorder.

But the bureau oversees only civilian prisons.

Manning’s case appeared to be the first time the therapy had come up for a military prisoner.

Manning, 25, was convicted of Espionage Act violations and other crimes for turning more than 700,000 classified military and diplomatic documents over to the secrets-spilling website WikiLeaks. Coombs said the soldier could be paroled from prison in as little as seven years.

After sentencing, Manning was returned Thursday to Leavenworth.

Leavenworth is an allmale prison. But the staff has some leeway to separate soldiers from the other inmates based on the risk to themselves and others, Marcec said.

A dream come true Senior Active helps members and caregivers

By Melanie Yingst Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

TROY — Creating a business that centers around peace of mind for both members and their caregivers was a dream for Troy resident Lori Graff.

After spending nearly nine years as an activities director at a local nursing home, Graff

followed her dream to open a senior center where members could socialize and engage in fun activities during the day.

Senior Active, located at 2006 West Stanfield Rd., Troy, opened in May and Graff, the director of the center, said the joy radiates from both her members and their caregivers each day.

Graff said the private adult

day services center is for senior citizens who are looking for more socialization and activities while their caregivers are at work or just need a break.

“This is a private, for-profit organization to help people in Miami County who are looking for a place for their loved ones to go during the day,” Graff said. “We cater to the whole person — physical,

TROY — The first of two men convicted of robbing Tim Hortons in Troy at gunpoint in May went before a judge Thursday for a sentencing hearing and received a twoyear term in prison.

Quontes J. Atkins, 20, of Troy, pleaded no contest and was found guilty of felony robbery at a change of plea hearing in June for the May 28 robbery of Tim Hortons, 700 W. Main St., An accomplice, Brandon J. Brumbaugh, 20, of Troy, pleaded guilty Atkins to felony robbery in July and he is scheduled to be sentenced in common pleas court Sept. 9.

Like Atkins, he, too, will face between two to eight years in prison.

Originally, both men were charged with aggravated robbery.

As a part of his sentence, Atkins will undergo two mandatory years of post-release control.

According to the Troy Police Department, the men entered the restaraunt and displayed a gun, which was described as either a .22 rifle or a BB gun.

The men made off with cash, but were later arrested by authorities.

There were no injuries as a result of the armed robbery.

Disney star to help raise funds ‘Silver’ to appear at ride-a-thon Will E Sanders

Staff Writer wsanders@civitasmedia.com

PIQUA — An upcoming equine event at the Miami County Fairgrounds will feature a Hollywood movie star who is helping promote a wonderful program.

Arctic Bright View, a Disney star featured most recently in the movie “The Lone Ranger” as Silver, will be the centerpiece for the Eagles’ Wings Annual Fall Fest & Ridea-Thon, which takes place at the fairgrounds from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 14.

The famous horse will be strutting his

stuff in a special demonstration at the event at 12:45 p.m. and participants will have the chance to pose for a photo with the rare and unique horse.

Organizers of the annual event said the function will feature “free family fun activities and student riding demonstrations.”

In addition, the fall fest and ride-a-thon will feature presentations, showcases, games and information on local outreach programs.

Lunch will be available for purchase at the event and a silent auction will take place featuring Arctic Bright View’s horse shoes and shirts, western home decor, quilts and more.

Arctic Bright View also wll be helping to shed light on equine assisted activities and therapy that Eagles’ Wings Stables Inc., 5730 N. Washington Road, Piqua, special-

izes in. The stable provides equine-assisted therapies to seven of the surrounding counties.

The stable, the horse and the event hopes to promote the new program “Horses for Heroes,” which is a riding program that is free to wounded warriors and combat veterans.

The event is held in hopes of raising awareness and funds to support the nonprofit organization.

New York.

Under a special agreement, the Army sends its female prisoners to a Navy women’s jail in Miramar, Calif. It also has an agreement under which it can send soldiers to federal civilian prisons.

Greg Rinckey, a former Army prosecutor and now a lawyer in Albany, N.Y., said Manning’s statement could be a ploy to get transferred to a civilian prison.

“He might be angling to go there because he believes life at a federal prison could be easier than life at the disciplinary barracks at Fort Leavenworth,” Rinckey said.

He also said the military is adamant about not providing hormone treatment: “You enlisted as a male, you’re a male, you’re going to be incarcerated as a male.”

companies, sent out an alert shortly after noon that said trading would stop. The Nasdaq composite index spent much of the afternoon stuck at 3,631.17.

Trading resumed at 3:25 p.m. Thirty-five minutes later, the day ended with the index up 38 points, or 1 percent, at 3,638.71.

Investors were not at risk of losing any money from this type of glitch, said Marty Leclerc at Barrack Yard, chief investment officer at Barrack Yard Advisors.

“Clearly it’s an annoyance, but it doesn’t in any way affect the value of your underlying assets,” Leclerc said. “Warren Buffet used to say that if you own a stock, you ought to be comfortable with it even if the market were to close for a year.”

During the outage, the Nasdaq said it would not cancel any orders stuck in limbo, but that customers were free to cancel them.

The stock of the

exchange’s parent company, Nasdaq OMX, took a hit Thursday, falling $1.08, or 3.4 percent, to close at $30.46 in heavy trading.

Phil Stern, a former Securities and Exchange Commission attorney for 10 years, said Nasdaq could face significant financial penalties and other sanctions.

“It’s pretty significant for an exchange to be shut down this long,” Stern said. “The disruption to the marketplace is huge.”

The White House, the Treasury Department and other government agencies monitored the disruption.

Brad McMillan, chief investment officer of the independent brokerage Commonwealth Financial, said competition between rival exchanges for customers is partly to blame for recent trading problems.

The exchanges try to bring in more business with the promise of fast-

er trading, which makes them more reliant on new technology.

“The more trading is tied to technology, the more computer crashes matter,” McMillan said.

McMillan called the interruption an “inconvenience,” comparing it to other times when snowstorms and squirrels have closed the market. In August 1994, trading on the Nasdaq stopped for 34 minutes after a mischievous squirrel chewed into power lines near the exchange’s computer center in Trumbull, Conn.

Thursday’s shutdown was another sign that the days of stock brokers in colorful jackets roaming the floor of the stock exchange have faded away. Now powerful computer programs dominate trading by sifting through reams of data and executing trades in fractions of a second. That makes trading faster and, arguably, more efficient. But it also introduces more possibilities for errors that can jolt the entire market.

Last year, BATS Global Markets tried to go public on its own exchange but had to back out after a computer error sent its stock price plunging to just pennies. Nasdaq mishandled Facebook’s public offering last spring, when technical problems kept many investors from knowing if their trades had gone through and left some holding unwanted shares. And in April, the Chicago Board Options Exchange shut down for a morning because of a software problem.

If you have any of the above, there are effective treatment options, covered by insurances.

and raised new questions about the pitfalls of the electronic trading systems that have come to dominate the nation’s stock markets.

Nasdaq said only that the problem lay in its system for disseminating prices and that it planned to investigate.

The outage disrupted what had otherwise been a quiet summer day on Wall Street. It was another in a series of technical problems to disrupt financial markets in recent years, though less alarming than the “flash crash” plunge of May 2010.

“The market has gotten quite complex and needlessly so,” said Sal Arnuk, co-founder of the brokerage Themis Trading.

The Nasdaq, an exchange dominated by some of the largest, most prosperous technology

NEW YORK (AP) — A mysterious glitch halted trading on the Nasdaq for three hours Thursday in the latest major electronic breakdown on Wall Street, embarrassing the stock exchange that hosts the biggest names in technology, including Apple, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Google.

The problem sent brokers racing to figure out what went wrong

40337909 40082645

Then there was the 2010 “flash crash” in which the Dow Jones industrial average fell hundreds of points in minutes before eventually closing 348 points lower. It was one of the first major problems that revealed to the public the potential dangers of computerized trading.

One of the lessons from the flash crash was that it’s better to stop trading and reopen a market in a fair and orderly manner than to have messy trading, said James Angel, a finance professor at Georgetown University who specializes in the structure and regulation of financial markets.

“I think people are so used to the fact that every once in a while the power goes out and a computer crashes,” Angel said. “As long as the trading is fair and orderly, I don’t think that’s going to deter people from investing.”

Trading glitches can also change fortunes. A technical bug spelled the end for Knight Capital as a stand-alone company.

It marred the company’s long-standing reputation as a stellar risk manager after sending stocks of dozens of companies swinging wildly on Aug. 1 of last year.

It also left Knight, which takes orders from big brokers like TD Ameritrade and E-Trade, on the hook for many of the stocks that its computers accidentally ordered. Knight teetered near bankruptcy and this summer was taken over by the high-speed trading firm Getco.

Park name submissions coming in for public input

By JOHN BADEN

For Civitas Media tdneditorial@civitasmedia.com

WEST MILTON — Old School Park? Bulldog Run? Second Chance Park?

These are just a few of several submissions from residents of West Milton as to what to name the former site of the elementary and middle school buildings on Spring Street.

With an overwhelming response of feedback from residents, West Milton’s parks board is moving the deadline for naming the city’s upcoming recreational park back to the middle of next month.

“I anticipated a lot of good feedback, but I didn’t anticipate so many nominations,” Streets and Grounds Supervisor Ben Herron said.

The municipality office received more than 40 submissions of names

for the new park, ranging from community titles like Bulldog Memorial Park to people-focused names such as Lendenski Park, which is in reference to Milton-Union High School’s principal from 1968-1991, Edward S. Lendenski.

“I was a big fan of ‘Big Ed,’ and everybody else was,” Herron said, recalling Lendenski’s legacy in West Milton.

So far, eight different names have been nominated by citizens so far.

While some have been nominated more than once, the board said that it values all of the names that were mentioned.

“The park board recognizes all of these individuals,” municipal manager Matt Kline said. “They’re all worthy.”

This sparked the idea of keeping the park’s name more community-minded and naming aspects and features of the park after

West Milton’s heroes and well-known figures — a motion made by board member Jessie Brumbaugh and seconded by board member Susan Willis.

“You can’t pick one person because they’re all really special, and I think people would understand that you couldn’t do that,” Brumbaugh said.

The board will continue to receive suggestions through Sept. 17 and then reconvene discussions the following day to choose what names the public will decide on this fall.

“After the top names are chosen at the meeting for community vote, we will utilize website, email, phone, walk-ins, media, front sign and possible library involvement,” Herron said.

Submissions can be made online at www.westmiltonohio.gov or by calling (937) 698-1500.

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Rocky Mount (N.C.) Telegram on revise mandatory minimum sentencing: U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s call last week for a revision of mandatory federal sentencing laws is a welcome but overdue proposal.

Holder specifically took aim at low-level, nonviolent drug offenders who have filled the nation’s prisons during the so-called “War on Drugs” of the past 30 years.

Mandatory minimum sentencing and so-called “three strikes” laws were enacted throughout the 1980s and 1990s as politicians sought to “get tough” on crime and more aggressively combat the failing “War of Drugs.” These laws removed any discretion in sentencing from judges based on the actual conditions of specific cases and imposed arbitrary prison time for general classifications of different types of crimes.

The result was a swelling of the U.S. prison population — mostly with inmates convicted of drug-related crimes. Holder said the prison population has grown by almost 800 percent since 1980, with more than 219,000 federal inmates in facilities that are operating at nearly 40 percent above capacity.

Holder said he has instructed federal prosecutors to stop charging many nonviolent drug defendants with offenses that carry mandatory minimum sentences. He said he plans to work with Congress to give judges greater discretion in sentencing.

It’s way past time for the United States to bring some common sense to the criminal justice system and return flexibility to judges when they hand down sentences. The increasing cost of maintaining the country’s prisons continues to divert needed resources from law enforcement agencies, prosecutors and drug prevention and intervention programs.

Mandatory minimum sentences for nonviolent offenders promote injustice and do nothing to protect public safety. Holder is correct in his call to abandon them.

The Tampa (Fla.) Tribune on post-invasion Iraq finds civil war, not democracy: Americans, whatever their position on the decision to invade Iraq 10 years ago, had hoped that when the controversial war was over that peace would prevail, but judging by recent events something akin to a civil war is tearing the country apart.

Sectarian warfare cost an estimated 1,000 Iraqis their lives last month alone, making July one of the worst months in years. So far in 2013, more than 4,000 Iraqis have been killed by acts of violence.

Almost every day there are reports of multiple bombings taking multiple lives, and it is always Muslim against Muslim, Shia against Sunni.

This is not the outcome the United States had in mind when it invaded Iraq, captured the despised Saddam Hussein, saw him executed, and drew up the plans for an Iraqi democracy. Washington didn’t take into account — or perhaps didn’t give enough credence to — the deep, long-standing religious differences among Iraq’s Muslim population.

All over Iraq, as people celebrated Eid al-Fitr (the holiday that annually marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan) bombs took more than 60 lives, officials said. Washington immediately condemned the bombings, describing the attackers as “enemies of Islam.”

They may be, but these attacks represent a continuation of a bloody pattern that has developed over many months. The United Nations reports that 1,057 Iraqis were killed and 2,326 more were wounded in attacks in July. Those are the highest monthly casualty figures since 2008. …

There is almost no hope for an early declaration of victory in the global war on terror, and the plight of the Iraqi people is grim evidence that even an infusion of a Western-style democracy offers no promise of security. It turns out that, quite often, religious affiliations are more important than political theories.

LETTERS Believe in God, not scientists To the Editor: It started out being global warming, not changed to climate change. I guess some think they can control or change the climate, which to me is laughable. They say 97 percent of scientists agree that climate change is real, but in my lifetime the climate has always changed! So it tells me 97 percent of scientists are probably wrong because they want people to believe they are smarter, more powerful and want to replace God. The same scientists will talk about millions of years theory, but now they say it is facts. It is sad news when we want to believe our scientists over God, deifying man and humanizing God. No scientists or man can control tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, water (either floods or drought), only God can.

We choose to believe God and do good or choose to be deceived. I may change my mind of scientists could control nature. We need to repent and walk in truth!

God is the CEO of the universe. He has set nature and all things in order and under His control. Why would we want to believe in scientists who do not line up with God’s word, but rather listen to men of a fallen nature, with their imaginations and deceptions, and call them facts?

Only God’s word is truth. Not only do we have a fallen nature (which will die), we have a human nature, a lustful nature, a prideful nature and a selfish nature! We should live toward a divine nature. Only in God is this possible.

This country is moving rapidly toward corruption because it has left God’s moral law, His standards and principles of living in the truth of God’s word. The quarterback that is calling the plays is Satan, the father of lies. It has been a good country to grow up in, but I feel sorry for the future generation. This country is now run by men who are narcissists, like other socialist countries. It is all about power and self-glory.

Doonesbury

I’m getting way too old to be riding roller coasters Well folks, you all can thank me for the less-than-seasonable weather we have had this summer.

It seems like the day my dad installed the air conditioner unit for my son and my dog’s comfort, global warming gods took notice and cooled off the summer swelter for all of us.

You are all so welcome.

But like the saying goes, “If you don’t like the weather in Ohio, wait a minute.” Of course the mercury leapt just in time and on the day I decided to take my son Evan and his best friend Jaelon to a “Summer’s Over” jaunt to Kings Island last Saturday.

I had tickets and made a day of it. I hadn’t been to Kings Island in almost a decade. I was even looking forward to my day out with the kids and to see how much of the amusement park has changed over the years.

While the park itself has stayed relatively the same, my body’s reaction time to the twists and turns have not.

I still hurt. I still hurt very badly.

I’m so old I can remember

when kiddie land was Hannah- soaking wet clothes for the next Barbara Land. Am I the only four hours. While the boys were one who remembers Captain shivering and laughing as we Caveman greeting Kings Island searched for our next conquest, guests at the front gate?

and toured the Dinosaurs Alive! exhibit to give our bodies some peace.

As cheesy as it was, it was nice to take a walk in the woods with several dozens of life-sized dinosaurs which move as you pass by. It would have been more enjoyable had the family in front of us removed their petrified 3 year-old from the path so we could enjoy reading about the prehistoric past in peace. I bet those nightmares weren’t worth the extra entrance money for the tour.

The day wasn’t a total loss though. We still managed to have a great time, although nearly seven hours in, the boys declared they were exhausted and were ready to go home.

It was the music to my ears, and we skipped out of the park and headed home.

And when I say skipped, I really mean limped.

Miami East Local School District honored Susan Hartley

Executive Editor shartley@civitasmedia.com

CASSTOWN – Miami East School District was presented with a $1,000 renewal premium credit and a plaque Monday from representatives of the Ohio School Plan for earning the OSP’s Best Practice Award.

To qualify for the award, members must meet specific requirements, including scheduled internal inspections, regulatory inspections and incident investigations.

The district was chosen from nearly 300 Ohio schools.

Kevin Accurso, board president, called the award a “very good news recognition” for Miami East.

Dr. Todd Rappold agreed, saying receiving the Best Practices Award was “a nice way to start” the new school year.

Monday’s board meeting was held as students and their parents from across the district were attending open houses and freshman orientation on the campus. The first day of classes was Tuesday.

With the start of the new year, board members reported that there were

more students participating in fall sports than in recent years. Credit was given to the coaching staff for creating an “enthusiasm” among the students.

One example was the boys golf team, which had 21 students sign up to participate. And, East has a reserve boys soccer team this year due to the number of players interested in the sport.

Miami East teachers met earlier this week to work on their student learning objectives, Rappold said, as well as review the state’s new evaluation program, which he said is “a rather daunting task.”

Also Monday, staff heard a presentation by former Troy student Michael Ham, who recently graduated from Wright State University.

Ham was accompanied by Supt. Tom Dunn from the Miami County Education Service Center, and former Troy City Schools superintendent.

Confined to a wheelchair due to cerebral palsy, Ham came to Troy City Schools from Florida when his family relocated to Ohio. At Troy, he was encouraged in his academic pursuits and credits the support of good teachers for his achieve-

ments.

Rappold told the board Monday that Ham’s presentation – sprinkled with a few comments from Dunn – was a great motivation for Miami East teachers as they start the new school year.

In other action Monday, the board approved the July 2013 financial statements; accepted the resignation of Dawn Sales; approved the hiring of Stephen Teale as a bus driver; approved Brent Remy as assistant boys soccer coach; Bruce Vanover as head girls track coach; and Meghan Arnold as the 9th grade adviser and the National honor Society adviser.

Also approved was the district’s substitute teacher list and pay at $75 per day for day 1 through day 10 consecutively and $83 for day 11 through 60 days in the same position.

Vendors for the cafeteria also was approved as well as vendors for bus maintenance, including Kirk’s Nationalease Garage and Earhart, Grismer’s for tire service and Paxton Communications for bus and base radios.

The next Miami East Board of Education meeting will be held at 7 p.m.

Monday, Sept. 16, at the high school.

Troy Daily News • www.troydailynews.com

In ‘World’s End,’ one hilarious apocalypse (AP) — Sci-fi movies, we all know, create unlikely heroes, and this summer’s no exception.

Remember Brad Pitt as a U.N. inspector in “World War Z”? He just wanted to hang at home with his family, but he had to save the world from raging zombies. And Matt Damon in “Elysium”? He played a reformed car thief who just wanted to heal himself — and suddenly, he needed to rescue the planet.

But Simon Pegg in “The World’s End,” the latest work of brilliant inanity from director Edgar Wright, takes this whole reluctantsavior-of-humanity thing to a new plane. Twenty years after high school, Pegg’s scruffy, unshaven, never-gonna-grow-up, substanceabusing Gary can’t hold down a job. His idea of a relationship is a quick tryst in the loo of a pub.

This is a guy who’s gonna save us — or at least, parts of suburban England — from an alien invasion? Lord help us.

Of course, if you’re a fan of Pegg’s earlier two films with Wright, the 2004 “Shaun of the Dead” and the 2007 “Hot Fuzz,” you’ll know that such plot absurdities are not only par for the course, but crucial to the delightful sensibilities of this genre-twisting oeuvre.

Wright has called this movie the last in a trilogy, and what unites the three is that each is a sendup — though a loving one — of a genre: “Shaun” is a zombie film, “Hot Fuzz” a buddy cop movie, and “The World’s End” one of those bittersweet coming-home

films that show how difficult it is to really, well, go home. Because it’s never the same.

We begin with a flashback: On the last day school in 1990, five mates in the nondescript village of Newton Haven attempt the Golden Mile, an epic, 12-pub crawl. But they fall short and never make it to the final watering hole, called, fittingly, “The World’s End.” Flash forward 20 years, and Gary (Pegg), their onetime leader, has a plan: Rally the boys — “just like the Five Musketeers,” he notes — to conquer the Golden Mile once and for all.

“It’s about closure,” he declares.

For some reason, they all show up.

One of the film’s delights is how Pegg and Nick Frost, his masterfully funny co-star in all three films, have reversed personalities since “Hot Fuzz.” Whereas Pegg was an uptight, overachieving cop there and Frost the bumbling sidekick, now it’s Pegg who’s the bumbler — scruffy and unkempt, in a long black coat and dark shades, hilariously messed up. Frost, just as hilarious, is the pudgy, very square lawyer in thick glasses and a pressed trench coat who drinks only water on a pub crawl.

The cast of the earlier films is reunited here, along with some surprises. Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman and Eddie Marsan round out the Musketeers. There’s also Sam (a lovely Rosamund Pike) — she’s the sister of one of the guys, the unconsummated crush of another and a former castoff of Gary’s. Gary would love to pick up

But something else happens in the loo. A belligerent Gary gets into a fight with a strong young man. He accidentally beheads the guy. Wait — he’s a robot. Who bleeds blue ink. And has a lot of angry friends.

And the apocalypse is on. You can’t go home, indeed. Not when it’s being taken over by murderous aliens.

But you can have a laugh — and

Band of Flight to perform

Pegg, Wright, Frost and company certainly give us that. The trilogy may be over, but we hope a new one is beginning. We need a lot more of these guys.

“The World’s End,” a Focus Features release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “pervasive language including sexual references.”

Running time: 109 minutes. Three stars out of four.

TROY — The United States Air Force Band of Flight will offer a concert at 7 p.m. Sunday on Troy’s Public Square.

Some chairs will be set up, but participants also are invited to bring the own lawn chairs.

The rain location is the Troy Hobart Arena.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Saturday, Aug. 24, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Relations with others are passionate today; in fact, a casual relationship might heat up into something romantic. Actually, all your encounters with others will be intense.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Don't be demanding with co-workers today, which you might be tempted to do. Yes, you feel your needs are preeminent and important, but others feel the same way. Cool your jets.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Romantic passion is strong today. This is the kind of day when love at first sight can begin. Sports events, activities with children, movies, musical performances and show business are likewise affecting today.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Family discussions will be passionate today because people are intense about what they want. Basically, you are lobbying for improvements at home.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You can sell snow to the Eskimos today, because you are so convincing!

This is a strong, productive day for those of you who write, sell, market, teach or act for a living.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) If shopping today, you might feel obsessed with getting something. ("I have to have it!") Some of you will feel similarly obsessed with earning money or hanging on to your possessions.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Usually, you are wise about seeing the middle ground. Today, however, everything seems to be black or white; yes or no; right or wrong.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Disturbing influences might create tension for you today. Some of you are involved in behind-the-scenes activities, including secret love affairs.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your dealings with others today, especially in group situations, will be intense and memorable. You feel compelled to tell others your views.

You even might want to rally others to join you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Romance with your boss or someone older, richer or worldlier might begin now. Perhaps this is just a secret crush. Whatever the case, it's intense, not mild. (Oh yeah.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You feel passionately about many things today, especially philosophical ideas, politics and religion. You also might be keen to travel somewhere. A foreign romance could begin.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might benefit from the wealth of others at this time. (Be open to gifts, goodies and favors coming your way.)

Meanwhile, back in the boudoir, relationships are hot!

YOU BORN TODAY You have an investigative mind and are thorough in everything you do. You like to unravel mysteries and discover the truth of things. You love to learn anything -philosophy, science, modern history.

You're a natural researcher, both academically and about the world around you. You can be a good parent. This year you will focus on partnerships and close friends.

Egypt’s ousted leader Hosni Mubarak has been released from jail and taken to military hospital in Cairo.

Egypt’s ousted leader Mubarak released CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s ousted leader Hosni Mubarak, wearing a white shirt and loafers while flashing a smile, was released from prison Thursday and transported to a military hospital in a Cairo suburb where he will be held under house arrest.

Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi had ordered that Mubarak be put under house arrest as part of the emergency measures imposed this month after a wave of violence sparked by the ouster of Islamist leader Mohammed Morsi, who had succeeded Mubarak as Egypt’s first freely elected President.

Footage on private TV stations showed the helicopter carrying the 85-year-old Mubarak landing at the pad outside the military hospital, which sits on the banks of the Nile. He was immediately transported to an ambulance and moved across the street to the hospital.

An Associated Press photo shows Mubarak on a gurney being transported onto an ambulance amid tight security. He was wearing sunglasses and dressed in a white shirt, beige pants and white loafers. He flashed a smile and held his arms behind his head while medics pushed

his gurney into the ambulance.

As the ambulance drove across the street and into the main gate of the military hospital, guards, some with their handguns drawn, and soldiers ran after the vehicle, possibly for fear that the ex-president could be the target of an attack.

Thursday’s move followed a court decision ordering Mubarak’s release in relation to charges of receiving gifts from a stateowned newspaper.

The release threatened to stoke the unrest as the Arab nation is already roiled in a crisis over a military coup against Morsi.

But the decision to place him under house arrest instead of letting him go free appeared designed to ease some of the criticism over releasing Mubarak and to ensure that he appears in court next week for a separate trial.

Despite his release, the 85-year-old ousted leader still faces retrial on charges of complicity in the killing of protesters in the 2011 uprising against him, which could put him back behind bars. His court case resumes next week. He also is being investigated in at least two other corruption cases.

Syrian forces bomb area of alleged chemical attack

AP Photo

This image provided by Shaam News Network on Thursday, which has been authenticated based on its contents and other AP reporting, purports to show a young victim of an attack on Ghouta, Syria recuperating in a hospital.

Syrian government forces pressed their offensive in eastern Damascus on Thursday, bombing rebel-held suburbs where the opposition said the regime had killed more than 100 people the day before in a chemical weapons attack. The government has denied allegations it used chemical weapons in artillery barrages on the area known as eastern Ghouta on Wednesday as “absolutely baseless.”

eastern Ghouta from the Qasioun mountain overlooking Damascus.

Wednesday’s alleged chemical attack was said to have killed scores of children, seen in amateur videos as small, lifeless bodies, wrapped in white cloths, their pale skin unmarked by any wounds.

Images of dead children lying shoulder to shoulder in rooms and of others being treated for breathing problems brought worldwide condemnation and shock.

Mohammed Abdullah, an activist in the suburb of Saqba, told The Associated Press via Skype on Thursday that most of the dead

were buried hours after the attack in collective graves in different areas in eastern Ghouta.

The burials took place quickly for fear the bodies might decompose in the heat, he said.

Relatives identified some of the dead before burial. Unidentified victims were photographed and their graves tagged with a number in case their loved ones come to collect their bodies in the future, Abdullah said.

“Most of the dead were buried in mass graves,” he said.

In a statement calling the reports “deeply disturbing,” UNICEF said: “This terrible conflict has gone on far too long and children have suffered more than enough.

“Children must be protected, and those who fail to protect them will be held accountable,” it said.

From New York, the U.N. Security Council called for “a thorough, impartial and prompt investigation.”

Syria’s state media quoted a Foreign Ministry official, anonymously according to standard practice, as saying Thursday that allowing the U.N. team to go to Ghouta would require an agreement between the Syrian government and the U.N.

BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian government forces pressed their offensive in eastern Damascus on Thursday, bombing rebel-held suburbs where the opposition said the regime had killed more than 100 people the day before in a chemical weapons attack.

The government has denied allegations it used chemical weapons in artillery barrages on the area known as eastern Ghouta on Wednesday as “absolutely baseless.”

The U.S., Britain and France have demanded that a team of U.N. experts already in Syria be granted immediate access to the site.

Syrian opposition figures and activists have reported death tolls from Wednesday’s attack ranging from 136 to 1,300. But even the most conservative tally would make it the deadliest alleged chemical attack in Syria’s civil war.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it had no word on casualties in the Thursday morning bombing. It said warplanes conducted several air raids on eastern and western suburbs of Damascus, including three that took place within five minutes.

The Local Coordination Committees, another activist group, also reported several air raids on the suburbs, and added that President Bashar Assad’s forces were shelling

Older brides with fancy gowns, garter belts, DJs NEW YORK (AP) — SherryLynne Heller-Wells always wanted a fairytale wedding.

So when she tied the knot last year, she spared no detail. She walked down the aisle in a flowing ivory gown with a long veil and lacey bolero jacket. Ten flower-toting bridesmaids and seven groomsmen were in the wedding party. And after the ceremony, 100 guests dined on beef tenderloin, clams casino and a three-tier vanilla cake.

The cost, including a fireworks show during the reception, was $45,000.

Heller-Wells wasn’t some blushing new bride, though. When the retired registered nurse, 64, wed her husband, Clyde, a small-business owner who is 65, it was her second time at the altar.

“I met my Prince Charming. He swept me off my feet,” says the Clearwater, Fla., widow whose first husband died in 2003. “We’re hoping this will be the last marriage. Why not celebrate?”

Only a few years ago, it was considered in poor taste for a bride over age 55, particularly if she had been previously married, to do things like wear a fancy wedding gown, rock out to a DJ at the reception or have the groom slip a lacy garter belt off of her leg. But those days are gone: Older couples no longer are tying the knot in subtle ways.

The trend in part is being driven by a desire to emulate the lavish weddings of celebrities of all ages.

But it’s also one of the results of a new “everything goes” approach that does away with long-held traditions and cookie-cutter ceremonies in favor of doing things like replacing the first husband-and-wife dance with a group reenactment of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video.

That’s left older couples feeling less self-conscious about shelling

Royal and her husband-to-be plan to spend about $11,000 on their wedding reception for about 100 people.

out serious cash to party like their younger peers.

“The rules are out the window … whether it’s what you’re wearing or the cake you’re serving,” says Darcy Miller, editorial director of Martha Stewart Weddings, a wedding magazine. “Sixty is the new 40 and that is reflected in the wedding.”

Couples age 55 and older made up just 8 percent of last year’s $53 billion wedding business. But that number has doubled since 2002, according to Shane McMurray, CEO of The Wedding Report, which tracks spending trends in the wedding industry.

It’s in part because more couples are marrying in their golden years.

In 2011, women ages 55 and over accounted for 5.2 percent and men in that age range made up 7.9 percent of the more than 2.1 million marriages performed in

that year in the U.S., according to Bowling Green State University’s National Center for Family and Marriage Research, based on analysis of census figures. That’s up from 2001 when 2.6 percent of new marriages performed were among women in that age group; for men, it was 6.6 percent.

And those older couples spend more. That’s because they’re usually empty nesters who don’t have the same worries as their younger counterparts: They aren’t saving for their first home, for instance, and they aren’t burdened by huge student loan debts they must worry about paying off.

As a result, older couples dish out about 10 percent to 15 percent more than the cost of the average wedding, which was $25,656 last year, down from the pre-recession peak in 2007 of $28,732, according to The Wedding Report.

50 years after King, marchers gather again in DC

WASHINGTON (AP) — Next week, the nation’s first black president, a living symbol of the racial progress Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed about, will stand near the spot where King stood 50 years ago and say where he believes this nation should be headed.

Then, like King, President Barack Obama will step away from the hulking Lincoln Memorial, and return to where this nation is now.

As civil rights activists pause to consider the great strides toward equality that the 1963 March on Washington helped to spur, they also look at the current political and racial landscape, and wonder: How much of that progress is now being undone?

This march anniversary comes just two months after the Supreme Court effectively erased a key antidiscrimination provision of the Voting Rights Act, unleashing a string of restrictive voting laws and rules in several states. The court also raised the bar for consideration of race in university admissions, and made it more difficult to bring employment discrimination lawsuits.

There are other new issues, such as demands for a federal civil rights prosecution of George Zimmerman for fatally shooting unarmed black teen Trayvon AP Photo Martin, and abiding ones, such as persistent unem- Tourist gather at the Lincoln Memorial, Thursday in Washington. ployment among black Americans that runs at a sig- President Barack Obama is scheduled to speak at a ceremony on nificantly higher rate than that for whites. the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington.

CENTERVILLE — Troy wants to win the Greater Western Ohio Conference again this year.

Thursday, the Trojans found out what it will take to accomplish that.

The Trojans could not handle Centerville’s service game, never truly putting together an offense during Thursday night’s 25-17, 25-14, 25-17 loss in Centerville at the hands of the Elks — who they beat on the road last season to win their first ever GWOC tournament title.

“Centerville is a really good squad, and we just didn’t give ourselves any kind of opportunity,” Troy coach Michelle Owen said. “We never got our offense going.

We were aced 15 times, and we only had 12 kills to 10 errors — which is barely in the positives in terms of offensive

August 23, 2013

numbers.

“I thought it was very similar to the Lakota West match that we ended our season on (in the district final) last year.

We prepared for them all week, we knew exactly what they were going to do … and we just couldn’t get anything going.”

Lauren Freed had five kills and eight digs to lead the Trojans, Katie Demao and Jillian Ross each had three kills and Leslie Wynkoop had 12 assists and three digs, only getting the chance to set the ball 52 total times in the match.

“There’s not much positive we can take away from this match,” Owen said.

“It all came down to execution. Now we’ve got to get ready for Springfield on Tuesday and another tough match at Miami East on Saturday.”

Greeneview 3, Bethel 1

BRANDT — After a 2-20 season, the Bethel Bees are poised to surprise some teams.

And even though Greeneview left Bethel with a 3-1 victory in the Bees’ season opener Thursday, 25-18, 23-25, 25-22, 25-23, the Rams left knowing just how hard they had to work to get it.

“I was really impressed. The girls showed a huge improvement from last year,” Bethel coach Rob Gatrell said.

“I’m looking forward to seeing what the girls can do this year.”

Tia Koewler had 11 kills for the Bees, Brooke Artz had seven kills and 28 assists, Savannah Swisher had seven kills, 24 assists and four aces and Marieke Van Haaren had seven kills and five blocks.

Bethel (0-1) hosts Milton-Union Monday.

Troy’s Nick Kleptz moves to take the ball away from a Fairmont player Thursday night at Troy Memorial Stadium.

Cashing in:

Troy converts chances in 3-0 win

By COLIN FOSTER

Associate Sports Editor colinfoster@civitasmedia.com

TROY — Troy’s Nick Kleptz had a fair amount of chances to score against Fairmont Thursday night at Troy Memorial Stadium.

He was denied by the post early in the second half, then had a shot blocked on a great sliding play by a Fairmont defender seconds later. Kleptz even had one goal negated due to an offside call later in the game. It was okay, though, Adam Witmer had his back. Witmer netted a pair of second-half goals — one being a header off a pass from Steven Williams less than four minutes into the half and another with 24:25 remaining on an assist by Kleptz — and the Trojans (1-1-1) coasted to a 3-0 victory over the Firebirds (1-1). “Yeah, he scored two for us in Staff photo | Anthony Weber the second half, you know, Troy’s Caleb Leibold brings the ball up the sideline Thursday night • See CASHING on page 14 against Fairmont at Troy Memorial Stadium.

TROY — Troy Christian coach Ryan Zeman was happy to open the season with a win.

He was even happier that it came against Newton — a team that the Eagles hadn’t beat since Zeman has been in charge.

Senior Chris Dickens scored a pair of goals in the first half to help the Eagles come away with a 3-1 victory over the Indians Thursday night.

Dickens’ first goal came off a corner kick by Tom Null and his second was off an assist by Patrick Canavan. Later in the first half, Canavan put the Eagles up 3-0, scoring a goal off an assist from Wesley Alexander.

“It’s awesome,” Zeman said. “It’s a great feeling, it’s a great way to start our season. (Beating Newton) is a long time overdue.”

The Eagles (1-0) play at Dunbar Monday.

• Girls Spr. Shawnee 2, Milton-Union 1 WEST MILTON — Milton-Union took the lead early — and had plenty of chances to build on it.

Instead, Springfield Shawnee was able to tie the score at 1-1 before halftime and then put home the game-winning goal with 1:07 left on the clock to steal a 2-1 victory from the Bulldogs Thursday.

“The sad thing is, we played well tonight,” Milton-Union coach Andy Grudich said. “We moved the ball well, attacked, outshot them and outplayed them for long stretches. We were dangerous and created plenty of scoring chances.”

Josie Berberich was the only Bulldog to connect on one, though, stealing the ball in the Braves’ end and ripping a goal home from 20 yards out.

“We’ve got to be more efficient in front of the goal,” Grudich said. “We’ve got to finish more of those chances. We’ve done it before, in the preseason and in our first two games. And we’ll do it again.

“We just let one get away from us tonight.”

Milton-Union (1-1-1) hosts Preble Shawnee Tuesday.

Stadler finishes long day in the lead at Barclays Reds top D-Backs in series finale Before the game, Dusty Baker didn’t know who his closer would be. The Cincinnati Reds manager’s eventual choice turned out just right.

Sam LeCure overcame two ninth-inning hits and earned the save in the Reds’ 2-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Shin-Soo Choo scored the decisive run in the eighth inning on Arizona’s fourth wild pitch of the game.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — Kevin Stadler teed off just after breakfast and finished right before dinner. It took him nearly 11 hours to complete a 7-under 64 at Liberty National, his lowest score on the PGA Tour since the first week of February. And he still isn’t guaranteed to be the first-round leader at The Barclays.

The FedEx Cup playoffs got off to a soggy start Thursday with two rain delays that lasted six hours.

It was a start-again, stop-again day on the bank of the Hudson River, but that didn’t stop Stadler. He ran off three birdies early, then returned from the second delay and threw in four more birdies on a soft golf course.

Asked if it was difficult to stay mentally prepared, Stadler replied, “I’m never

really mentally prepared. Same as usual.

It was all good.”

Tiger Woods, the No. 1 player in the world and in this playoff series, came out of the first delay by missing a short birdie putt on the par-5 13th and then rolling in three straight birdies to get into the mix. He cooled slightly after the slightly longer second delay, and failed to make birdie on any of the par 5s in his round of 67.

Woods didn’t mind the long day. He was more concerned about the next long day on the horizon.

Only the top half of the draw finished the round. The later starters — Ben Crane played only two holes — were to resume the round Friday morning and then go straight to the second

round. That left the top half facing extra holes on Saturday to get the tournament caught up.

“We’re done,” Woods said. “It was a long day, and tomorrow will be a short one. And then Saturday will be pretty much a marathon.”

British Open champion Phil Mickelson and Masters champion Adam Scott were among those who didn’t finish. PGA champion Jason Dufner had a 71, while U.S. Open champion Justin Rose recovered from a double bogey on the par-5 13th for a 68.

back on top of the Canadian Women’s Open leaderboard.

The 16-year-old Ko, the winner last year at Vancouver Golf Club at an LPGA Tour-record age of 15 years, 4 months, shot a 5-under 65 on Thursday in perfect conditions at Royal Mayfair for a share of the first-round lead with Angela Stanford and Christel Boeljon.

Ko, the South Koreanborn New Zealander, had six birdies and a bogey.

She birdied the opening hole, though she figured that might be a bad omen.

“When I start off with a birdie I haven’t really played that well, so yeah, I was kind of nervous that I did make a birdie on the first,” Ko said.

She felt some pressure entering the tournament.

“Because you’re the defending champion, people are going to expect more,” she said. “I called my dad a couple of days ago and he just said, ‘Relax. You can’t control everything. Just play the game that you want to play.’”

Stanford rebounded after going 0-4 last week in the United States’ Solheim Cup loss in Colorado.

“Try to take positives from it,” Stanford said.

“It’s hard because I’m the only one that has to live with it. I’m the one that it’s probably haunting the most. So it’s been really hard. I thought about going home a few times. …

The best thing was for me to get back on the horse.

I had to get out and play and I guess just try to put it behind me.”

The Texan birdied five of the first 12 holes in her bogey-free round.

he came off the touch line and had two goals off of set plays on deadball situations, which was good for us,” Troy coach Richard Phillips said.

Johan Trotter added a header with 12:51 remaining the game with an assist coming from Jake Mastroanni. Goalie Alex Williams had his first shutout of his career, finishing with eight saves. After a quiet 25 minutes from the Troy offense to open the first half, the Trojans finally were able to generate some chances. With seven minutes left in the first half, Kleptz was the recipient of a great pass down the sideline. He dribbled down the right side and touched a pass right in front of goal, but the ball hit high off the post and kept the game scoreless. Kleptz had a good look himself in the first three minutes of the second half, teeing one up from 10 yards out, but the ball hit the top of the post.

Less than a minute later, Kleptz had another look from close range. He struck the ball and it looked like it was headed straight for the back of the net, but a Fairmont defender slid in at the last minute and denied the goal. But everything started clicking for the Trojans after that. Phillips admitted after the game he was happy to get the win, but still thinks his team has a long way to go.

“There’s so many things you can point out,” Phillips said. “We have three lines on the field: we’ve got the front line, the midfield and we got the back line — and all three have to be able to play together. We were not doing that. We started doing things out of the ordinary. I mean we’re not marking up, we’re not coming back and defending, we’re not finding players. Those three lines, they disintegrate, you don’t get the flow you want. The younger players that we brought in, you give them that opportunity and they have the right attitude and they continue to build — and you saw that tonight with the younger guys in how hard they played, wanting it more, doing the things you’re asking the older guys to do. “That’s what’s refreshing about it. Giving them the opportunity, they have the right attitude and we will build off that. They helped us to be a little more motivated. We were lethargic in that first half, we came out slow in the first half and we never went after them in the first half. The second half we did a much better job of going at them hard — and that’s what we need to do for 80 minutes.” Troy plays at Springfield Tuesday. JV Score: Troy 4, Fairmont 1

Wild pitches help Reds edge Diamondbacks 2-1 CINCINNATI (AP) — Before the game, Dusty Baker didn’t know who his closer would be. The Cincinnati Reds manager’s eventual choice turned out just right.

Sam LeCure overcame two ninthinning hits and earned the save in the Reds’ 2-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Shin-Soo Choo scored the decisive run in the eighth inning on Arizona’s fourth wild pitch of the game.

Choo scored both Cincinnati runs, helping the Reds to their third win in the four-game series. Cincinnati (73-55) improved to a season-high 18 games over .500 and increased its lead over Arizona to seven games in the race for the National League’s second wild-card playoff spot.

Choo singled to lead off the eighth against reliever Eury De La Rosa (0-1) and moved to second when De La Rosa’s pickoff attempt rolled away from first baseman Paul Goldschmidt. Todd Frazier sacrificed Choo to third, and Choo scored when ball four to Joey Votto was a wild pitch.

Mat Latos (13-4) went eight innings and earned the win, despite getting sick before he took the mound. In his previous three starts, Latos had received only five runs of offensive support.

Baker was forced to use his closer Aroldis Chapman for two innings Wednesday night, making him unavailable Thursday. So LeCure was given the chance to earn his first major league save.

“Sam is our utility guy,” Baker said. “He can go long or short. He has a lot of guts.”

Latos made the most of two runs on Thursday, allowing just one run and five hits to Arizona. Latos struck out seven, didn’t walk anyone, and hit one batter with a pitch.

“I was sick right before the first inning,” said Latos, who couldn’t even keep water down. “I was sick again in the fifth inning. It’s gone now but I didn’t have anything left in the tank.”

Latos managed to save the bullpen.

“Latos gave us what we wanted,”

Baker said. “A security guard told me he was vomiting underneath the stands.”

Arizona starter Trevor Cahill, in his second start since coming off the disabled list, allowed four hits and one run. He walked three, struck out seven and threw three wild pitches — all in the third inning.

“He struggled that inning,” Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. “They scored two runs on four wild pitches and an error. It’s very frustrating, disappointing.”

Cahill allowed two hits but still faced the minimum 12 batters over his final four innings, with help from

a caught stealing and a double-play ball.

In the third, the Reds put runners on second and third with one out.

Brandon Phillips cashed in the opportunity with a run-scoring groundout for a 1-0 lead. Cahill entered the game with 11 wild pitches this season, and now has a major league-high 14.

The Diamondbacks took a more conventional route in getting even 1-1 in fourth. Adam Eaton and Goldschmidt led off with singles, Arizona’s first hits off of Latos.

Martin Prado hit into a double play, but Aaron Hill rapped a sharp one-

hopper that third baseman Frazier couldn’t handle. Hill was credited with a run-scoring infield hit.

LeCure told himself he needed three outs like any other inning.

“I didn’t want to even let myself think of being the closer. I knew there was a possibility,” LeCure said.

“Chapman is our closer but I did tell him to watch out.”

Baker selected LeCure because he is fearless.

“He doesn’t have the best stuff, but he’s not afraid,” Baker said. “Sam was the best man. He knows how to pitch. I knew he wouldn’t get rattled if there were runners on.”

Browns’ Little knows he has to slow down driving BEREA (AP) — Browns wide receiver Greg Little knows he has to slow down. It’s the only option.

His career, and perhaps his life, depends upon it.

Little vowed Thursday to act more responsibly after it was revealed that he wrecked his car driving 127 mph — more than 70 mph over the legal speed limit — in April, an incident and decision he called “mindless.”

Little was cited for drag racing after crashing his expensive, highperformance Audi into a guardrail, taking out a light pole and leaving more than 40 yards of brake tracks, according to a police report. Little and a passenger were uninjured in the single-car accident, which records say took place at 2:47 a.m.

He said he understands his behavior was unacceptable and realizes he’s lucky to have survived.

“It’s obviously something that I’ve got to take very seriously and slow my speeds down and be cautious of others on the road,” Little said following practice. “I could have seriously put my life and other lives in danger. It was a pretty traumatic experience and it’s something that I learned from and I’m just trying to move forward and just learn from it.”

Little was fined $350.

Although Little vowed to change his behavior, earlier this week he was ticketed for driving 81 mph in a 60 mph zone and

expired license plates. He’s due in court on Sept. 4 — four days before Cleveland’s season opener.

Little, 24, isn’t the only Browns player to recently break the law for speeding.

Fellow wide receiver Josh Gordon was cited for driving 98 mph on Aug. 13, at least his second offense since May. Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said he reprimanded Little and Gordon, who is suspended from Cleveland’s first two regular-season games for violating the NFL’s drug policy. Chudzinski would not reveal whether he disciplined the players, but said both seemed remorseful and recognize the potential severity of their thoughtless actions.

“We take that seriously,” Chudzinski said. “It’s not acceptable. I’ve sat down with both of those guys individually and talked to them and addressed that with them as well as with the team. All these guys are guys that are learning how to mature. We’re working to build a locker room and a team and a foundation of guys accountable and that’s what being a Brown is going to be all about.”

Risky behavior on vehicles is nothing new for the Browns.

Kellen Winslow (2005) and Marcus (2011) both had near-fatal motorcycle accidents.

Chudzinski said the violations

by Little and Gordon will not affect

Ex-Patriot Hernandez indicted on murder charge ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) — Former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez was indicted Thursday on firstdegree murder and weapons charges in the death of a friend whose bullet-riddled body was found in an industrial park about a mile from the ex-player’s home.

The six-count grand jury indictment charges Hernandez with killing 27-year-old Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player from Boston who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s girlfriend.

Hernandez, 23, pleaded not guilty to murder and weapons charges in June, and he is being held without bail.

He had a brief court appearance in Attleboro on Thursday afternoon. Afterward, his attorney Michael Fee said the defense was pleased to be on a path to a jury trial and was looking forward to testing the prosecution’s evidence.

“There has been an incredible rush to judgment in this case,” and the state doesn’t have enough evidence to prove the charges, he said.

Hernandez signed a contract last summer worth $40 million but was cut by the Patriots within hours of his June 26 arrest, when police led the handcuffed athlete from his home as news cameras rolled.

He could face life in prison if convicted.

The Bristol County grand jury also indicted two others in the case: Hernandez associate Ernest Wallace and Hernandez’s cousin Tanya

Singleton.

Wallace is charged with accessory to murder after the fact. Prosecutors have said he was with Hernandez the night Lloyd died.

Singleton is charged with criminal contempt for refusing to testify before the grand jury, Bristol County District Attorney Samuel Sutter said. She has been jailed in Massachusetts since Aug. 1.

A recent affidavit said that, after Lloyd’s killing, Singleton bought Wallace a bus ticket.

Carlos Ortiz, who faces a weapons charge in district court connected to the case, was not indicted.

Sutter said Hernandez’s arraignment in Superior Court, where the case now moves, could come next week.

A jogger found Lloyd’s body on June 17 in a North Attleborough industrial park.

His mother, Ursula Ward, called him a loving son who never hurt anyone.

Prosecutors say Hernandez orchestrated Lloyd’s killing because he was upset at him for talking to people Hernandez had problems with at a nightclub days earlier. They say Hernandez, Wallace and Ortiz picked Lloyd up at his home in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood early on June 17 and then drove to the industrial park.

Shortly before his death, authorities say, Lloyd sent his sister text messages asking if she had seen who he was with.

“NFL,” he wrote. “Just so you know.”

their playing time Saturday when the Browns play Indianapolis.

Beyond the violations, Little, who has been stopped at least four times for traffic offenses in the Cleveland area since December, twice had warrants issued for his arrest after failing to appear in court. Little said he notified the Browns immediately after the crash in April.

“It was really just a mindless effort on my behalf and just not thinking at all, just being careless of the, you know, there are laws in place on the roads and just not abiding by them,” Little said.

In explaining his most recent violation, Little said he was driving with “the flow of traffic” and didn’t realize how fast he was doing.

It’s part of a troubling pattern for Little, who was issued 93 parking tickets on multiple vehicles with nine different license plates while he was at North Carolina.

Gordon, who was cited driving 45 in a 25 mph zone and failed to appear in court, was not in the locker room during the period it was open to the media.

Browns linebacker D’Qwell Jackson said his message to his

young teammates is simple.

“You’ve got to slow down,” he said. “Now, everything (Little) does is going to be talked about and written about. The last thing you want is something bad to happen out there.”

Little’s off-the-field missteps seem to contradict talk that he has matured, and brought an unfavorable light on the Browns, a team trying to shed a losing image.

“We want to talk about football,” Jackson said. “We don’t want to talk about any other distractions.”

Buckeyes by the numbers A detailed look at Ohio State football

COLUMBUS (AP) — Here’s a look at the 2013 Ohio State Buckeyes, by the numbers: — 4,580,597, in dollars, a conservative tabulation of how much Urban Meyer will make for coaching Ohio State in the 2013 season.

That figure does not include any academic or performance bonuses (winning a Big Ten division or conference title, playing in a BCS bowl or the national championship game), but does include the university’s $450,000 payment to Meyer just for remaining coach through Jan. 31, 2014. The numbers include a $700,000 base salary, $1.8 million under media contracts, $1.4 million from the Nike equipment contract, $14,400 for car leases, $12,848 in football tickets, $1,875 in parking passes for football games, $1,274 for two men’s basketball season tickets and $200 for a parking pass to watch Thad Matta’s team in action.

— 404, wins by the Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium since its opening (against 109 losses and 20 ties).

— 171, in pounds, the difference in weight between the heaviest Buckeye (DL Chris Carter at 341 pounds) and the lightest (WR Devonte Butler, WR James Clark

— 111, page number in the online Ohio State football media guide where former coach Jim Tressel’s bio resides. It’s under the “Legends And Greats” section. Tressel is listed third among those legends, right behind Woody Hayes and two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin. There’s no mention of the NCAA violations which led to his forced departure from the program in 2011. When he appeared at a game at Ohio Stadium last fall during a celebration of the 2002 national championship, he was lifted to the shoulders of his former players in the end zone while a capacity crowd gave him a loud ovation. The 2012 team, which went 12-0, did not get to play in a bowl game as a result of NCAA sanctions stemming from Tressel’s misdeeds.

Trojans edge Wave to open North play Staff Reports

GREENVILLE — On one hand, the Troy Trojans are getting the chance to see which things they need to work on.

On the other, they still have work to do.

Still, the Trojans had enough in place on Thursday to score a victory in their first Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division match of the season, edging out the Greenville Green Wave for a 171-177 win.

“We’re still struggling a little, but a win is a win — especially a divisional win,” Troy coach Mark

Evilsizor said. “We’ve still got time to figure it out and play our best golf, but we’re definitely not peaking yet.

“I’d rather have the guys struggling on August 22 than September 22. We’ll be where we need to be a month from now.”

Connor Super and Dalton Cascaden led the Trojans (4-2, 1-0 GWOC North) with rounds of 41, Grant Kasler shot a 44 and Troy Moore capped off the scoring with a 45. Kaleb Tittle and Matt Monnin both added 47.

“The conditions were tough — we’ve had six matches now and

a little bit of rain in three of them, so we’re getting used to that,” Evilsizor said. “We played the back nine today, which was a little more challenging. But it was good for the boys. The course isn’t long, but you’ve got to place the ball right or you’ll be in trouble.

And the kids found themselves in trouble at various times today.”

Troy returns home to Miami Shores to face Wayne Wednesday the day before a critical GWOC North match against rival Butler at Troy Country Club.

“We’re not overlooking Wayne by any stretch, but that Butler

match is one that’s been circled for a little while,” Evilsizor said.

“That’s the one we’ve got to have.”

Covington 180, Piqua 185 PIQUA — Piqua’s Kenton Kiser was medalist on the day, but the Covington Buccaneers were able to pull out a 180-185 victory over the Indians Wednesday at Echo Hills.

Levi Winn shot a 40 to lead the Buccs, while Joe Slusher and Ty Boehringer followed with 45s.

Jacob Blair shot 50, Matt Carder shot 70 and Derek McCool shot 72.

Kiser shot 39 to lead everyone.

Derek Jennings followed with a 48, Kyle Ingle and Cole Greaser shot 49 and Brendan Tisher and Kody Poling shot 56.

Arcanum 178, Newton 200 ARCANUM — The Newton Indians dropped a Cross County Conference match at Arcanum Thursday, falling 178-200 at Beechwood Golf Course.

Brock Jamison led the Indians with a 42, Wade Ferrell shot 46, Reid Ferrell shot 53, Donovan Oscoela shot 59, Christian Nelson shot 64 and Zara Zeller shot 75.
