Make A Stand’s founder to visit Troy

By Melody Vallieu Staff Writer mvallieu@civitasmedia.com

MLK’s dream inspires a new march, and a president

Many little girls might use the profits from their childhood lemonade stand to buy a new doll dress — or perhaps a princess tiara.

Vivienne Harr, 9, of California, uses hers to fight child slavery — to the tune of more than $1 million so far.

This weekend, Vivienne, her father Eric, and members of the Troy First United Methodist Church will continue the fight

against child slavery with Make a Stand weekend.

According to Brett Bogan, treasurer of First United Methodist Church, Vivienne and her father will travel to Troy to promote awareness of child slavery.

Vivienne, founder of Make A Stand Inc., first learned about child slavery in 2012 and started a lemonade stand — which she ran for 365 days straight — and raised more than $100,000.

When she reached the goal,

WASHINGTON (AP) — Standing at ground zero on the civil rights movement’s battlefield of justice, President Barack Obama challenged new generations Wednesday to seize the cause of racial equality and honor the “glorious patriots” who marched a half century ago to the very steps from which Rev. Martin Luther King spoke during the March on Washington.

Pulling out all the stops Downtown stores decorate for upcoming concert

By Melanie Yingst

Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

TROY —Downtown businesses are decked out to the nines with Union Jack flags scattered about and other British-themed regalia welcoming visitors from around the world this weekend.

The London-based Grammy award winning musical group Mumford and Sons — who will be in town to headline the Gentlemen of the Road Stopover Tour — will select their favorite store front, allowing business owners to win a set of VIP stage front passes for their performance on Saturday,

as well the possibility of a Troy business being featured in in the Rolling Stone magazine at a later date.

Beth Kerber, owner of The 3 Weird Sisters studio located on 5 E. Main St., said she and her family have pulled out all the stops to decorate their storefront, which includes a metal statue of a dragon and an oldfashioned clock and gears on the historical building.

Kerber said the production company, Jam Productions, has already contracted with the store to use many of its eclectic items to create a unique backstage environment for the bands during the Gentlemen of

the Road music festival.

“This is just huge for us,” Kerber said. “We’re pulling out all the stops.”

She said the production company has rented chairs, tables, even the rugs from the store.

Kerber said the production company contacted her after seeing its unique items and store front on the business’ website and Facebook page.

“We just jumped on it,” she said. “Whatever they wanted, they had access to. I was even out in my barn pulling stuff for them to chose from. It’s a great opportunity.”

TROY — A man claiming to work for the production company in town for the Gentlemen of the Road Tour got cheeky with Troy Police officers and was cited for disorderly conduct shortly after midnight Tuesday.

According to the reports, the man was spotted by Troy Police Department officers with his pants down as he was posing for a picture by the Sculptures on the Square statue entitled “God Bless America.”

Robert Demaso, 50, of Burbank, Ill. was cited for disorderly conduct after exposing his buttocks near the “God Bless America” statue in the area of Main Street shortly after midnight Tuesday.

According to the Troy Police report, the man was with a group of others near the statue when an officer saw Demaso with his pants pulled down near the statue as another member of the group he was with took a picture with a cell phone.

One of the group members said they were with a production company that was in town for the upcoming Mumford and Sons concert.

According to the report, the man said “this city would be out millions” if someone from the group was arrested and made other threats of shutting the event down.

After the officer cited Demaso, he witnessed him walk over to another statue and make sexual gestures toward it, while others took photos.

As the officer returned to the group, they exited the area, according to the report.

Demaso is to be arraigned in court at 8 a.m. on Sept. 3.

Obama: Syrian government carried out chemical attack WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Wednesday declared unequivocally that the United States has “concluded” that the Syrian government carried out a deadly chemical weapons attack on civilians.

But new hurdles emerged that appeared to slow the formation of an international coalition that could use military force to punish Syria.

Obama did not present any direct evidence to back up his assertion that the Syrian government bears responsibility for the attack. While he said he is still evaluating possible military retaliation, the president vowed that any American response would send a “strong signal” to Syrian President Bashar Assad.

“We have concluded that the Syrian government in fact carried these out,” Obama said during an interview with PBS’ NewsHour. “And if that’s so, then there need to be international consequences.”

Earlier Wednesday, the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council failed to reach an agreement on a draft resolution from the British seeking authorization for the use of force. Russia,

as expected, objected to international intervention.

Obama administration officials said they would take action against the Syrian government even without the backing of allies or the United Nations because diplomatic paralysis must not prevent a response to the alleged chemical weapons attack outside the Syrian capital last week.

Despite the administration’s assertions that it would press forward without the U.N., momentum for international military action appeared to slow.

British Prime Minister David Cameron promised British lawmakers he would not go to war until a U.N. chemical weapons team on the ground in Syria has a chance to report its findings, pushing the U.K.’s involvement in any potential strike until next week at the earliest. Cameron called an emergency meeting of Parliament on Thursday to vote on whether to endorse international action against Syria.

Even so, British Foreign Secretary William Hague suggested that U.S. military action need not be constrained by Britain. “The United States are able to

make their own decisions,” he told reporters late Wednesday, just after speaking with Secretary of State John Kerry.

U.S. officials were in search of additional intelligence to bolster the White House’s case for a strike against Assad’s military infrastructure.

American intelligence intercepted lowerlevel Syrian military commanders’ communications discussing a chemical attack, but the communications don’t specifically link the attack to an official senior enough to tie the killings to Assad himself, according to one U.S. intelligence official and two other U.S. officials. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the intelligence publicly.

The White House ideally wants intelligence that links the attack directly to Assad or someone in his inner circle, to rule out the possibility that a rogue element of the military decided to use chemical weapons without Assad’s authorization.

That quest for added intelligence has delayed the release of the report by the Office

The opportunity to be featured in Rolling Stones magazine inspired Kerber and her fellow designers to “pull out all the stops,” since sign codes and other historical downtown ordinances were relaxed for the weekend to dress up the buildings for the music festival.

“This week all bets are off and so we just went for it,” Kerber said of the opportunity to deck out the exterior of the historic building.

Another visual piece is the retro “Theater” sign from an old drive-in that Kerber picked up over the years.

“We wanted to get all the fun elements out there,” Kerber said. “I love neon signs; I miss the old trade signs hanging around downtown. I wanted to really go all out and just said ‘Let’s go outside of the box.”

Kerber said her daughter, Skyler Williams, a 13-year-old budding artist, also got in on the decorating action.

“We had Skyler in here tracing and cutting out things — it’s been a family thing,” Kerber said.

“We’ve all had a hand at doing this for two weeks.”

Downtown businesses will find out who wins the 4 VIP stage passes and the possible chance to be featured in the Rolling Stone magazine feature at noon today.

• Additional tickets and camping for Friday and Saturday’s Gentlemen of the Road stopover in Troy have just been released for sale. Tickets are available for purchase both at the gate and online at www.

A series of smaller events involving local businesses, venues, and, most importantly, local people, will happen in and around the town.

Founder n Continued from page 2 parents thought she was done raising funds. They were wrong.

“There was one point when I reached my goal and my mom and dad said, ‘You’re done! You don’t have to Make A Stand anymore.’ I said, ‘Is child slavery done?’ And they said, ‘No, it’s not done.’ So I said, ‘I’m not done,’” Vivienne said.

Vivienne’s fair trade lemonade — available in original and the “kicked” version, which is caffeinated — now is bottled and sold in more than 50 stores on the West Coast, with half the profits dedicated to supporting organizations working toward ending child slavery.

A Lemonade Stand to End Child Slavery will open at 10 a.m. Saturday in the parking lot of First Place, 16 W. Franklin St., according to Bogan, whose Free to Run Foundation organizes races to combat slavery and injustice around the world.

Bogan said they will be taking donations and have 264 cases of the organic Make a Stand!

Lemon-aid to sell. Samples will be available, he said.

On Sunday, church members will host An Afternoon for Abolition. The program will feature Vivienne, a speaker from Be Free Dayton, a documentary screening of “Chosen,” from

Shared Hope International and music by Columbus musician Heather Evans. Evans is the music force behind the Sweet Princess Project, a collaborative effort among the music, film and marketing communities to raise awareness of human trafficking.

The program will start at 3 p.m., with doors opening at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are free with donations accepted at the door, or make a donation ahead of time by selecting the “ticket with donation” at afternoonforabolitioin.eventbrite.com.

After the program, participants will be able to visit with the guests, learn about efforts to fight human trafficking in the Dayton area and Ohio and sample and purchase Make A Stand Lemon-Aid. All proceeds from the event will be used to fund grants for nonprofits fighting to end trafficking in local communities and around the world.

Bogan said he has supported organizations that work toward ending child slavery for several years and met Vivienne and her family at a forum on human trafficking in California.

“I thought, wow, this (then) 8 year old was so inspired by a picture she saw of two boys in slavery, I was just so

impressed,” said Bogan, who said he appreciates the continuing support of members of FUMC and the Rev. Dave Leckrone, senior pastor.

Bogan said he took over the church’s annual New Year’s Day race for charity several years ago and changed the focus of the race to help raise funds for organizations that “rehabilitate and empower survivors” of child slavery. His nonprofit organization now also holds races in Columbus and New York City.

Bogan said when he heard about the Mumford & Sons Gentleman of the Road Stopover tour coming to Troy, he believed it was a perfect time to bring Vivienne to Troy to share her story with the throngs of visitors planned for downtown this coming weekend.

“I thought, I just can’t pass up the opportunity to bring her to town to inspire some of the people to see that one person really can make a difference,” Bogan said.

Tipp school staff to get increases For the Troy Daily News

TIPP CITY — The Tipp City Board of Education announces the approval of a 2.5 percent salary increase for all district staff, excluding the superintendent and the treasurer, for the 2013-2014 school year.

The increase will be calculated on employees’ base pay. Superintendent Dr. John Kronour said this pay raise goes a long way toward boosting staff morale and showing employees they are valued.

“In an effort to acknowledge and reward our staff for their dedicated service to our children this issue passed unanimously,” Kronour said.

Employees of Tipp City Exempted Schools have not received a salary increase in three of the last four years.

Kronour said the success of the students is driven by quality, committed teachers and classified staff who “deserve a competitive compensation package.”

When salaries in nearby dis-

tricts outpace what our district offers, “we start to lose the opportunity to attract and retain a strong staff” to prepare students with the 21st century skills necessary for their success.

He said the board would continue to monitor how the compensation package compares to others in the region.

“We must remain competitive with salaries so the Tipp City School District appeals to and keeps talented educators in the classrooms,” Kronour said.

Board of education president Frank Maus said the board feels strongly that teachers and staff “are doing a great job in educating our children and maintaining excellence in our district.”

This vote also “reflects a vote of confidence we have for our employees.”

The board recognizes the challenging economic times have made it difficult to reward employees’ efforts.

“This is the right thing to do,” Maus said.

But their operation is much smaller than some of the other intelligence services, and it takes longer for their contacts to make their way overland.

The CIA, the Pentagon, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence all declined to comment on the intelligence picture, and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.

Obama said he was not seeking a lengthy, openended conflict in Syria,

House has also cited the Chemical Weapons Convention, a 1992 agreement that builds on the Geneva Protocols by prohibiting the development and stockpiling of chemical weapons.

Syria is a party to the original Geneva accord, but not the latter chemical weapons agreement.

Syria, which sits on one of the world’s largest stockpiles of chemical weapons, has denied the charges. Moreover, Syria’s U.N. ambassador, Bashar Ja’afari, is demanding that United Nations experts investigate three alleged chemical weapons attacks against Syrian soldiers. He said the attacks occurred on Aug. 22, 24 and 25 in three suburbs

clear explanation of how military action would secure U.S. objectives.

Specifically, in a letter to Obama, House Speaker John Boehner asked him to make his case to Congress and the public about how military action would “secure American national security interests, preserve America’s credibility, deter the future use of chemical weapons, and, critically, be a part of our broader policy and strategy.”

Boehner said it was “essential you address on what basis any use of force would be legally justified.”

indicating that any U.S. response would be limited in scope. But he argued that Syria’s use of chemical weapons not only violated international norms, but threatened “America’s core self-interest.”

“We do have to make sure that when countries break international norms on weapons like chemical weapons that could threaten us, that they are held accountable,” he said.

Ohio residents have 65-year love story DAYTON (AP) — Relatives of an Ohio couple who died at a nursing home 11 hours apart on the same day said their love story’s ending reflects their devotion over 65 years of marriage.

Harold and Ruth Knapke died in their shared room on Aug. 11, days before their 66th anniversary, a Daytonarea newspaper reported.

He was 91, she was 89.

The couple’s daughters said they believe their father willed himself to stay by his wife’s side despite failing health until they could take the next step in their journey together. He went first — his children saw it as his “final act of love” — and she followed.

“We believe he wanted

to accompany her out of this life and into the next one, and he did,” daughter Margaret Knapke said.

The couple had known each other as children and began their courtship as pen pals while Harold, known as “Doc,” served in the Army during World War II. Ruth would later joke: “I let him chase me until I caught him!”

Her husband became a teacher, coach and athletic director at Fort Recovery Schools, the newspaper said. They raised six children while looking after each other with a devotion that didn’t seem to diminish.

A photo taken this summer shows him lying in a bed, arm stretched through a guardrail to hold her hand, as she

leans in to press the top of her head to his. When she was ailing, he blessed her each night with holy water, daughter Pat Simon said.

The Knapkes had a joint funeral Mass, with granddaughters carrying Ruth’s casket and grandsons carrying Harold’s casket. The cemetery procession stopped at the farm house where the couple had lived, and the current owners surprised the family by flying a flag at half-staff to honor the longtime loves.

“It is really just a love story,” said Carol Romie, another daughter. “They were so committed and loyal and dedicated, they weren’t going to go anywhere without the other one.”

Leaders gather in Troy to discuss immigration reform For the Troy Daily News

TROY — Community leaders from across Ohio’s 8th Congressional District gathered Wednesday at the Troy office for U.S. Speaker of the House John Boehner to meet with his staff and push for immigration reform.

The group, which included law enforcement, food producers, clergy, contractors and activists, spoke with Speaker Boehner’s staff for nearly an hour in a roundtable fashion.

“It was a very good discussion. You had a diverse spectrum of people coming at the issue from different angles, but what was resoundingly clear is this country’s current immigration system is broken,” said Pastor Jeremy Hudson of Fellowship Christian Church in Springfield.

“Bringing immigrants out of the shadows so they can become proper members of society is not only important from a moral standpoint, but makes good economic sense, too.”

A number of piecemeal bills are being considered in the House, including fixes for high-skilled worker visas, stronger interior enforcement provisions, workplace verification, stronger border security and an overhaul of temporary agricultural work permits.

“I’m really hopeful that Congress is going to pass a bi-partisan solution to the problem this year,” said Rachael Vonderhaar of Ohio Agriwomen. “My industry is very interested because hundreds of millions of dollars of crops rot each year on farms across the country due to insufficient legal avenues to hire farm

workers. That’s got to change or food production will be harmed in a big way.”

On the national level, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Catholic church and influential members of the technology sector have been pushing for reform.

“Speaker Boehner’s senior seemed to have a great grasp of the issue.

We’re lucky to have him leading in the U.S. House of Representatives,” said Lyn Bliss, vice president of the Ohio Federation of Republican Women.

“Immigration is no doubt a tough issue, but there seems to be a growing consensus that it’s got to be tackled for the good of the country. I’m confident in his leadership.”

The House is set to resume tackling the issue upon return from their August recess.

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

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Paris (Tenn.) Post-Intelligencer on not using cruise missiles in Syria: Please, not again. Yet there it was in a news report: Finding of strong evidence that the regime in Syria used chemical weapons against its own people raises chances of “a U.S. military strike.”

It would not be a major incursion, administration officials said.

Just a little war, a few cruise missiles aimed at strategic targets to send a message.

Do we never learn? Violence begets only more violence.

Warlike acts lead to real wars, and we have enough of those on our hands already in that part of the world.

There is recognition of that in Washington. …

It’s not a matter of backing the right side in the conflict there.

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said that after two years of fighting, no single rebel group is yet capable of taking over with American help.

The situation in Syria is all too familiar, an oppressive military regime on one side and radical Muslims on the other.

President Barack Obama has declared use of chemical weapons to be a red line that, if crossed, would trigger U.S. action.

Yet surely there must be some alternative to a military strike.

Surely.

The Times, Gainesville, Ga., on nation’s racial progress: Fifty years ago this week, a seminal moment in history was off many Americans’ radar.

This was the era before cable news and the Internet, so the only view most had of the event was on the evening news and in the daily newspaper the next day.

Even then, Martin Luther King Jr.’s address before the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington was relegated to many back pages, including in this newspaper. Had he spoken of his dream for a more just society before a quarter-million people today, his speech would be broadcast live on every news network, streaming online video and seen by anyone with a TV, laptop, tablet or smartphone.

That half-century span in how news was covered is only one aspect of how different our society was then and now. That African-Americans felt the need to gather in the nation’s capital to affirm their civil rights showed it was a time when such rights were not assumed.

The nation as a whole, and the South in particular, were just beginning the slow move past segregated schools and the “back of the bus” public mentality that had prevailed for so long. …

King’s speech certainly laid the groundwork for this vision: A nation where children would join hands across all racial, national and religious barriers and “not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

To some extent, we have reached this plateau; our nation’s youth now grow up in a more integrated society than their parents and grandparents, a giant step in the right direction.

It’s clear the United States of 1963 and of 2013 are not the same. …

Two hundred years of slavery, followed by a hundred years of Jim Crow laws, then 50 years of sporadic progress have produced a distinct cultural divide. Though our racial tapestries have intertwined in many ways —in pop culture, food, language —there’s no denying that the experiences of white and black Americans remain different at many levels. And because of that, our views of the world have been molded by our backgrounds and experiences, sometimes in ways we’re not aware of. …

Achieving King’s vision has never been easy, nor is it a given.

Even after 50 years of milestones toward that goal, more work remains, and perhaps always will.

LETTERS This year’s fair was oustanding To the Editor: I just wanted to send a quick letter of thanks to anyone and everyone who had a hand in putting together this year’s Miami County Fair. I think this may have been the best fair yet!

From the shows to the rides to the games to the food, it truly was something to behold. While I’m always impressed at the people who put together the fair every year, this year seemed to run a little smoother than most. I love taking my grandchildren to the fair every year to see the animals.

They’ve all grown up in the city and are always amazed that their grandma grew up on a farm and took care of many of the same animals they see every year at the fair.

We had a great time this year. We ate tenderloin sandwiches and drank milkshakes.

The kids rode the rides and won stuffed animals playing games. And I got to see old friends I only see once a year — at the fair!

Again, thank you all for making my week at the fair with my grandchildren such a memorable experience. Can’t wait to go again next year!

• The Miami County Courthouse: It’s hard to drive through Troy without seeing our courhouse — which, like the football stadium, is the envy of many acoss Ohio. As beutiful as it is at first glance, however, the story behind how the courthouse came to be is forever woven into our town’s fabric.

When Miami County was first founded, state officials visited two towns to determine which would be the county seat — and, in turn, would receive the beautiful courthouse. At the time, our bitter football rival to the north, Piqua, was a bustling community and the odds-on favorite to be named the county seat.

According to legend, however, when state officials came to visit Miami County, Troy’s civic leaders took them out for a night at the pub, got them incredibly drunk and, ultimately, won stewardship of the county from the state officials, who could very well have been hungover at the time of the decision — probably not unlike some of you will be this weekend!

As a final snub to our friends from Piqua, when Lady Justice was placed on top of the courthouse dome, her posterior was purposely placed toward the north so Piqua residents could forever remember what people in Troy thought of them.

We can’t make this stuff up, folks.

Enjoy your stay this weekend — and buy a newspaper.

Ohio says number of seized meth labs growing CLEVELAND (AP) — Authorities report a jump in the number of methamphetamine labs seized this year, and state officials attribute much of the increase to the cheap cost and ease of making the drug.

State records show the number of seized meth labs jumped 467 percent this year in Ohio, compared with five years ago, The Plain Dealer in Cleveland (http://bit. ly/14Zsvgc) reports.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation tracks meth lab seizures by federal fiscal year, from Oct. 1 through Sept. 30, As of June 24, police had reported finding 635 labs, and more were expected by the end of the fiscal year. Last year, agents and police found 607 labs.

The number of meth labs reached 444 in 2005, but the number of seizures seemed to slow for a while after the state in 2007 began cracking down on the amounts of cold medication pseudoephedrine that can be purchased at stores and pharmacies.

Pseudoephedrine is a key ingredient in cooking the drug.

Those who cook the drug then began recruit-

ing different people to buy boxes of the drug from several different places.

Police reported finding 112 labs in 2008, but that number more than tripled to 348 the next year.

“It’s killing us,” said Larry Limbert, the leader of the Portage County Drug Task Force in northeast Ohio. “It’s highly addictive. The people I’ve interviewed over the years say they just can’t get away from it.”

The drug sells on the streets for about $80 to $120 for a gram, based on its purity, according to the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addition Services. The stimulant stays in the body much longer than crack cocaine with longer-lasting effects.

“We’re seeing a continuous spike,” Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, said, adding that it’s easier now for people to make the drug.

“We used to talk about ‘meth houses,’ or places people would make this,” DeWine said. “Well, today, you can make it in a pop bottle.”

The locations for making meth also have changed in recent years.

made meth in their homes, apartments and hotel rooms, using red phosphorus that left a noxious vapor that sickened nearby residents and rotted walls and staircases. Cookers also lost weight, and their teeth and gums deteriorated.

Cookers then began using a one-pot cooking method that allows dealers to make the meth containing pseudoephedrine, lithium and other household materials in cars and out of the back of trucks.

It only takes about 15 minutes to a half-hour to mix the drug, compared with the old method that took several hours. The brew can now be cooked in 2-liter pop bottles, with the makers often discarding the containers and bottles along roadsides.

DeWine said some members of a Boy Scout troop picking up trash were burned from such chemical waste.

DeWine’s office has given 110 seminars with police, road crews and workers for the Ohio Department of Transportation about the dangers of the chemical trash left by cookers.

Try this recipe for delicious corn salsa

BY LOVINA EICHER The Amish Cook

The garden is still producing lots of vegetables. Today we made 18 quarts of spaghetti sauce and another 11 quarts of tomato juice. While the girls cut up all the vegetables, I sewed a dress and shirt. I still need to put button holes and buttons on the shirt.

Nights still seem empty with Verena and Loretta not home from 3 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. They are still staying those hours with 93 year old Vivian.

The new fence is up and the horses and ponies are having a blast eating all the grass. This makes less chores for the boys since they don’t have to feed hay to the horses mornings and evenings.

It is also a lot cheaper since the price of hay is still quite high.

The fence and gates were up by 3 p.m., so everyone went home to get cleaned up.

My husband Joe and Mose (Susan’s boyfriend) grilled 50 pounds of chicken and also grilled wings to make Buffalo hot wings.

Also on the menu for supper were mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing, corn, mixed vegetables, cole slaw, sliced tomatoes, bread, Swiss roll bars, cherry pie, peach cobbler, oatmeal cookies, popcorn and ice cream. All the dessert was brought in

except the ice cream.

Little Prancer is getting fat from all the green grass.

Daughter Susan is taking him for exercise by running down the road with him. She has also taught him a few tricks. He listens very well to her. Minnie, his mother, has gone back to her owner.

Prancer didn’t seem to mind much and follows his dad, Tiger, around everywhere in

the field. Not having Minnie here to drive and ride has brought a few tears from 9 year old Lovina. She gets so attached to these ponies. She wants to try and ride Tiger, but he is still a little rowdy for her. He isn’t a stallion any more so he should be settling down soon.

We received a letter from brother Amos and Nancy last week. They want to have

all my siblings and families for our annual get-together.

Amos plans to have a hog roast for us all on Labor Day. School doors will open the next day. The family has grown since last year with more babies being added and more special friends.

Then in October my cousin Dave is having a reunion at his house for my mother’s side of the family. This will

be a huge gathering by now.

We will have several cousins missing since the last time we were all together.

Also two more of mother’s siblings have passed since.

There are currently four of mom’s eight siblings still living.

This is now Friday morning and this column is still not out in the mail. Susan is filling the wash machine and rinse tubs with water and gathering laundry. I need to go help her. Verena and Loretta are washing dishes.

MLK’s dream inspires a new march, and a president WASHINGTON (AP) — Standing at ground zero on the civil rights movement’s battlefield of justice, President Barack Obama challenged new generations Wednesday to seize the cause of racial equality and honor the “glorious patriots” who marched a half century ago to the very steps from which Rev. Martin Luther King spoke during the March on Washington.

In a moment rich with history and symbolism, tens of thousands of Americans of all backgrounds and colors thronged to the National Mall to join the nation’s first black president and civil rights pioneers in marking the 50th anniversary of King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Obama urged each of them to become a modern-day marcher for economic justice and racial harmony.

“The arc of the moral universe may bend toward justice but it doesn’t bend on its own,” Obama said, in an allusion to King’s own message.

His speech was the culmination of daylong celebration of King’s legacy that began with marchers walking the streets of Washington behind a replica of the transit bus that Rosa Parks once rode when she refused to give up her seat to a white man.

At precisely 3 p.m., members of the King family tolled a bell to echo King’s call 50 years earlier to “let freedom ring.” It was the same bell that once hung in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala., before the church was bombed in 1963.

Georgia’s John Lewis, a Freedom Riderturned-congressman, recounted the civil rights struggles of his youth and exhorted

John Lewis, D-Ga., who spoke at the original March on Washington Wednesday during a ceremony commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. The president was set to lead civil rights pioneers Wednesday in a ceremony for the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, where Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech roused the 250,000 people who rallied there decades ago for racial equality. Former President Jimmy Carter is at left, former President Bill Clinton is second from left, Oprah Winfrey is at right.

American to “keep the faith and keep our eyes on the prize.”

The throngs assembled in soggy weather at the Lincoln Memorial, where King, with soaring, rhythmic oratory and a steely countenance, had pleaded with Americans to come together to stomp out racism and create a land of opportunity for all.

White and black, they came this time to recall history — and live it.

“My parents did their fair share and I feel like we have to keep the fight alive,” said Frantz Walker, a honey salesman from Baltimore who is black. “This is hands-on history.”

Kevin Keefe, a Navy lawyer who is white, said he still tears up when he hears King’s speech.

“What happened 50 years ago was huge,” he said, adding that there’s still progress to

be made on economic inequality and other problems.

Two former presidents, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, spoke of King’s legacy — and of problems still to overcome.

“This march, and that speech, changed America,” Clinton declared, remembering the impact on the world and himself as a young man. “They opened minds, they melted hearts and they moved millions — including a 17-year-old boy watching alone in his home in Arkansas.”

Carter said King’s efforts had helped not just black Americans, but “In truth, he helped to free all people.”

Still, Carter listed a string of current events that he said would have spurred King to action in this day, including the proliferation of guns and stand-yourground laws, a Supreme Court ruling striking down parts of the Voting Rights Act, and high rates of joblessness among blacks.

Oprah Winfrey, leading the celebrity contingent, recalled watching the march as a 9-year-old girl and wishing she could be there to see a young man who “was able to force an entire country to wake up, to look at itself and to eventually change.”

“It’s an opportunity today to recall where we once were in this nation,” she said.

Obama used his address to pay tribute to the marchers of 1963 and that era — the maids, laborers, students and more who came from ordinary ranks to engage “on the battlefield of justice” — and he implored Americans not to dismiss what they accomplished.

California launches drone to scout for spot fires

GROVELAND, Calif.

(AP) — As firefighters make progress containing a raging wildfire in and near Yosemite National Park, officials have turned to unmanned aircraft to monitor for unexpected developments.

The California National Guard launched a drone Wednesday in an effort to get an early bead on spot blazes.

Incident commander Mike Wilkins said Wednesday that the unmanned MQ-1 aircraft already is giving groundbased crews a birds-eye view of new developments.

“Already this morning it’s allowed us to see a spot fire we wouldn’t have seen,” he said.

Vermont marks two years since Irene’s flooding, damage WILMINGTON, Vt. (AP) — On the second anniversary of the biggest natural disaster to hit Vermont in generations, Gov. Peter Shumlin marked how far the state has come by visiting a restaurant that still hasn’t reopened.

Shumlin’s stop at a Wilmington restaurant for chili was a clear reminder of the work yet undone two years after Tropical Storm Irene moved through the state, killing six Vermonters and causing hundreds of millions in damage.

After rattling off statistics about roads repaired and culverts installed, Shumlin reminded a crowd in Wilmington that, for many, wounds remain and help is needed.

“We’re a place, when tragedy strikes, when the worst happens, we turn to those who are friends, and those who are strangers and we say ‘how can

I help,’” Shumlin said in Wilmington, where he visited Dot’s restaurant.

Shumlin had to have his chili in a tent across the street because work is still being done on the 19th century building all but destroyed when the Deerfield River topped its banks.

While Vermont is nearing the end of its official recovery, hundreds of people and businesses are still trying to return to normal and some are still looking for permanent housing.

Two summers ago, Irene dumped up to 11 inches of rain on parts of Vermont, turning rivers into torrents and sweeping away homes, roads, bridges and farm fields. Of the state’s 251 towns, 225 had infrastructure damage.

The state and federal governments have spent more than $565 million to help with Vermont’s recovery. That doesn’t include private dona-

www.troydailynews.com

tions and money that people have spent on their own.

Shumlin lauded the spirit of community that Vermonters displayed since Irene, helping one another in ways large and small. He recounted talking to a South Carolina National (NASDAQ:CNCP) Guardsman who was preparing to head home after helping the relief effort.

The guardsman told Shumlin that Vermonters didn’t wait for the government to come and help; they grabbed chain saws, shovels and equipment and started digging.

“That’s the spirit of this great state,” Shumlin said.

Shumlin wa s also scheduled to visit Killington and Rochester, two central Vermont communities up the spine of the Green Mountains that were isolated for days after Irene’s floodwa-

could threaten crews.

In 2009 an unmanned NASA Predator equipped with an infrared imaging sensor was used to help the U.S. Forest Service assess damage from a fire in Angeles National Forest.

In 2008 a drone capable of detecting hot spots helped firefighters assess movement of a series of wildfires stretching from Southern California’s Lake Arrowhead to San Diego.

The Rim Fire has burned through 293 square miles of the Sierra Nevada, destroyed 111 structures and threatened giant sequoias.

Fire officials say they expect full containment in three weeks but that it will burn for much longer than that.

ters cut all roads as well as the power and telephone communications.

On Thursday, Shumlin is expected to announce federal funding for repairs to the Waterbury state office complex, much of which was abandoned after floodwaters from Winooski River inundated it. The state is waiting for funding for its $124 million plan for the complex.

Back in Wilmington, where many businesses along the Deerfield River remain closed two years after the story, Dots is still four to six weeks away from reopening.

The building is sitting on a new foundation and the outside has been rebuilt, but there isn’t a sign yet, and co-owner Patty Reagan said the kitchen equipment should arrive soon.

“It’s all coming together now,” Patty Reagan said.

A similar unmanned NASA aircraft has been used for fire surveys in past years.

The drone took off from the Victorville Airport in Southern California and generally flew over unpopulated areas on its 300-mile flight. While outside of the fire area it will be escorted by a manned aircraft.

Officials were careful to point out images are being used only to aid in the effort to contain the Rim Fire burning in the western Sierra Nevada.

Wilkins said they’ll use the information the drone broadcasts to decide in real time where to deploy resources. They also hope to use it to detect any changes on the ground that

A coordinated wave of bombings tore through Shiite Muslim areas in and around the Iraqi capital early Wednesday, killing scores and wounding many more, officials said. The blasts, which came in quick succession, targeted residents out shopping and on their way to work.

Egypt police arrest Brotherhood members’ relatives tion and warned against taking dramatic decisions during turbulent times. He suggested it is better that the government monitor political parties rather than force any to operate secretly, as the group had done for decades.

But in a widening campaign, police have started going after members’ relatives, including the son of Khairat el-Shater, a Brotherhood deputy and financier charged in relation to the killings of protesters outside the group’s headquarters in June. A U.S. citizen, the son of a fugitive Brotherhood figure, was also detained this week.

It was not immediately clear why police detained el-Shater’s 23-year-old son. Officials only said Wednesday that police had arrested Saad el-Shater and that he had threatened to release documents allegedly showing ties between his father and U.S. President Barack Obama.

Officials did not elaborate.

The brother-in-law of fugitive Brotherhood figurehead Mohammed el-Beltagy also was arrested in the latest sweep on charges he incited violent protests aimed at toppling the military-backed government that took over after Morsi. Police officials said Saeed Zaki Eissa and two others known to be affiliated with the Brotherhood were detained in Egypt’s second largest city of Alexandria after prosecutors

ordered their arrest.

All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak to the media.

The security clampdown appears to have weakened the Brotherhood-led protests, which have been much smaller across the country this past week. There are planned protests Friday and calls for civil disobedience.

A statement by military spokesman Col. Ahmed Ali on Wednesday said two protesters were shot dead during a march of about 500 people against Morsi’s ouster in the province of Bani Sueif. The spokesman alleged that the marchers had attacked a security patrol belonging to the military, prompting soldiers fire gunshots “in the air” to disperse the crowd late Tuesday.

The Brotherhood, which once swept, Egypt’s elections quickly lost support during Morsi’s year in office. Millions of people protested for Morsi’s ouster, bringing the country to a standstill just days before the military toppled him.

Morsi’s critics accused him and his Brotherhood supporters of harming the country with divisive policies and sidelining other groups in an attempt to grab power. The group says the coup was orchestrated by officials from the regime of autocrat Hosni Mubarak, who was deposed after a 2011 uprising.

CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian authorities detained more than 60 people associated with the Muslim Brotherhood in less than 24 hours, including relatives of the group’s leaders, officials said Wednesday.

The crackdown on the group, from which ousted President Mohammed Morsi hails, started shortly after the July 3 coup. It intensified this month after security forces cleared out two of the group’s sit-ins, killing hundreds and sparking unrest that killed more than 1,000 people in a few days. The Interior Ministry says more than 100 policemen and soldiers have also been killed since mid-August.

The local media, in close step with the new leadership after Morsi, repeatedly describe the actions of the Brotherhood and its supporters as acts of terrorism. Many have been charged with inciting violence. Security forces have arrested much the Brotherhood’s senior and midlevel leadership, while others remain in hiding.

Some in Egypt fear the Brotherhood’s once powerful political party and its allies could be barred from politics and be forced underground again.

In an interview late Tuesday with the Arabic satellite channel MBC Misr, interim Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi said dissolving the group is not a solu-

Iraq bombings, house raid kill at least 80 people BAGHDAD (AP) — Car bomb blasts and other explosions tore through mainly Shiite districts around Baghdad during morning rush hour Wednesday in a day of violence that killed at least 80, intensifying worries about Iraq’s ability to tame the spiraling mayhem gripping the country.

It was the latest set of large-scale sectarian attacks to hit Iraq, even as the government went on “high alert” in case a possible Western strike in neighboring Syria increases Iraq’s turmoil.

A relentless wave of killing has left thousands dead since April in the country’s worst spate of bloodshed since 2008. The surge in violence raises fears that Iraq is hurtling back toward the widespread sectarian killing that peaked in 2006 and 2007, when the country was teetering on the edge of civil war.

Most of Wednesday’s attacks happened in within minutes of each other as people headed to work or were out shopping early in the day. Insurgents unleashed explosives-laden cars, suicide bombers and other bombs that targeted parking lots, outdoor markets and restaurants in predominantly Shiite areas in and around Baghdad, officials said. A military convoy was hit south of the capital.

Security forces sealed off the blast scenes as ambulances raced to pick up the wounded. The twisted wreckage of cars littered the pavement while cleaners and shop owners brushed away debris. At one restaurant, the floor was stained with blood and dishes were scattered on plastic tables.

“What sin have those innocent people committed?” asked Ahmed Jassim, who witnessed one of the explosions in Baghdad’s Hurriyah neighborhood. “We hold the government responsible.”

The northern neighborhood of Kazimiyah, home to a prominent Shiite shrine, was among the worst hit. Two bombs went off in a parking lot, followed by a suicide car bomber who struck onlookers who had gathered at the scene. Police said the attack killed 10 people and wounded 27.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks, but they bore the hallmarks of the Iraqi branch of al-Qaida, which operates in Iraq under the name the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The group frequently targets Shiites, which it considers heretics, and carries out coordinated bombings in an attempt to incite sectarian strife.

Charles Lister, an analyst at IHS Jane’s Terrorism and Insurgency Center, said the group is increasingly showing “huge confidence and military capability.”

“Both the increasing frequency, and statistically, the increasing deadliness of (their) coordinated nationwide bombings in Iraq underlines the extent of their operational reach and the huge depth of their resources,” he said.

In one particularly brutal attack, a Shiite family was shot dead at home in the largely Sunni town of Latifiyah, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) south of Baghdad. Four children, ages eight to 16, were killed along with their parents and an uncle, police said.

Authorities said they had previously fled the town after being threatened and had returned only three weeks ago.

Many of the day’s blasts targeted morning shoppers. One parked car bomb in a commercial area in Baghdad’s northern Shaab killed nine. Parked car bombs that went off in outdoor markets killed 19 in the sprawling slum of Sadr City, the northeastern neighborhood of Shula, the southeastern Jisr Diyala district and the eastern New Baghdad area.

Blasts also hit the neighborhoods of Bayaa, Jamila, Hurriyah and Saydiyah, killing 12. Yet another car bomb exploded in the evening in Baghdad’s southwestern Amil neighborhood, killing four.

Outside the capital, a suicide bomber blew himself up near a restaurant in Mahmoudiyah, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) south of Baghdad, killing five. And in Madain, about 25 kilometers (15 miles) southeast of Baghdad, a roadside bomb struck a passing military patrol, killing four soldiers.

While Shiite areas bore the brunt of the attacks, Sunni areas were targeted late in the day.

A parked car bomb exploded late Wednesday as worshippers left a mosque in Baghdad’s western Yarmouk neighborhood, killing four. Several Sunni mosques have been attacked in recent months, raising the possibility that largely inactive Shiite militias are starting to carry out retaliatory attacks.

Angry teachers paralyze Mexico City with protests MEXICO CITY (AP) — This sprawling metropolis of honking cars and 22 million harried people has been brought to its knees, not by an earthquake or its ominous smoking volcanoes, but rather a small contingent of angry school teachers.

Some 10,000 educators protesting a government reform program have in the span of a week disrupted international air travel, forced the cancellation of two major soccer matches, rerouted the planned route of the marathon and jammed up already traffic-choked freeways.

The disruptions have shown how little it takes to push a city that is snarled on a good day over the edge.

Taxi drivers are so desperate they are refusing fares to certain frequently blocked parts of the city, and residents have turned to urban survival skills — driving the wrong way down streets, using rental bikes, clambering over fences and piling into the back of police pickups to get to their destinations.

The city even been launched an app on Tuesday that warns drivers of protest locations, with a little orange icon of what appears to be a city resident climbing a mountain marking each blockade or march.

“It’s terrible. There’s no business … people don’t even want to get into a cab, because the traffic isn’t going anywhere,” taxi driver Ernesto Gallegos said disconsolately Wednesday, standing beside his parked cab on the curb of the city’s main boulevard.

“People will get out and say, ‘I’ll walk instead.’

They’ll get on these eco-bikes,” he said, referring to the city’s bike-sharing program.

Cesar Juarez, 30, who works repairing wireless systems for a telecom company, sat in his car at an intersection blocked by protesters, shooting photos with his cellphone to show his boss why he couldn’t reach a client. Others stuck in frozen traffic near the protests busily dialed in to postpone meetings.

“I’ve had to cancel two appointments so far today,” fumed well-dressed bank employee Arturo Gutierrez, 47, rapidly texting away on his Blackberry. “That’s lost economic activity.”

“I just told my wife: ‘Let’s go live in the countryside. What are we doing here?’”

The cause of this upheaval is a government reform program that would subject teachers to periodic evaluations in the form of standardized tests, and end the unions’ power over hiring. That would be a jolt to an education system in which some teachers can actually inherit their jobs from their parents.

Juan Melchor Roman, one of the leaders of the striking teachers, said the union was aware of the growing anger among city residents.

“But we think that is being whipped up by the news media,” he said. “We are asking the public to understand the teachers’ struggle … and understand us a little.”

The union says a standardized test is an unfair way to evaluate a teacher’s entire career, and argues that parents and student evaluations and other factors should be taken into account. The government counters that teachers will have multiple chances to pass the test, and says failing teachers won’t be fired, but re-assigned outside the classroom.

But those arguments were hardly the first thing on the minds of the suffering masses trying to make it through the day in Mexico City.

City police have taken to routing traffic the wrong way down one-way streets — something the government euphemistically calls “reversing” streets. The country’s first-division soccer league announced it was cancelling two Mexico City matches because the police it would normally assign to keep the peace were too busy managing the protests.

And the situation looks like it may actually get worse.

UN peacekeeper killed in eastern Congo fighting

KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — United Nations forces and the Congolese army attacked rebel positions with helicopter gunships, armored personnel carriers and a phalanx of ground troops Wednesday, ramping up the U.N.’s engagement in the latest rebellion to roil this country’s tormented east.

The fighting was some of the fiercest in the week since the newly created U.N. intervention brigade went on the offensive, and one Tanzanian peacekeeper was killed after the rebels aimed artillery fire at their position, the U.N. said in a statement. Seven other troops were also wounded, U.N. spokesman Farhan Haq said.

“I am outraged by today’s killing of a United Nations peacekeeper from Tanzania by the M23,” said Martin Kobler, the special representative of the secretary-general in Congo, who heads the peacekeeping mission. “He sacrificed his life to protect civilians in Goma.”

The fighting is taking place nine miles (15 kilometers) from the provincial capital of Goma, a city home to nearly 1 million people that was briefly captured by the M23 rebels late last year.

The U.N. involvement in the latest flare-up of violence is in sharp contrast to November, when the U.N. peacekeeping mission, known as MONUSCO, stood by as the rebels overtook Goma because their mandate was only to protect civilians.

The stepped-up U.N. intervention brigade, created by the Security Council in March, is authorized to take the offensive against the rebels.

“It’s already changing the equation. For now, I would shy away from calling it a game changer. It’s certainly unprecedented not only for Congo, but for peacekeeping itself and the U.N. at large,” said Timo Mueller, a Goma-based researcher with the Enough Project, an advocacy group active in eastern Congo.

Bengals look to end playoff drought

The streak is already hanging over them.

The Bengals haven’t won a playoff game since the 1990 season, a stretch of futility tied for seventh-longest in NFL history. They’ve had four chances in the last eight years, and botched all of them. They’ve gone to Houston each of the last two seasons and lost miserably.

Make it 22 years without a postseason win.

Brewer’s burning desire led him to hall of fame

By David Fong

Former Troy High School running back Ryan Brewer breaks away from a Northmont tackler in this 1998 file photo.

Brewer will be one of 10 former Troy athletes to be inducted into the inaugural class of the Trojan Athletics Hall of Fame.

Executive Editor

Say this for Ryan Brewer — he doesn’t take slights lightly.

Just ask former Ohio State football coach John Cooper.

Or the Piqua football team.

When asked to pick one moment that he’ll most remember from a career with the Troy High School football team that earned him a spot in the inaugural Trojan Athletics Hall of Fame, Brewer didn’t select any of his record-breaking moments, earning Mr. Football Ohio or appearing in Sports Illustrated.

He selected the time he was burned in effigy at a Piqua pep rally before the annual showdown with Troy.

“I remember the time they burned a dummy of me at the Piqua bonfire,” Brewer said.

“I’ll never forget that.”

In the game between the

two bitter rivals the next night, Brewer rushed for more than 200 yards as the Trojans triumphed — the fourth time in a row they did that in Brewer’s career against the Indians.

“I still remember the pic-

still hurts from that. At least I hope it does.”

The lesson is simple — you may “burn” Ryan Brewer once, but chances are he was going to get the last laugh.

It’s a lesson Cooper had to learn the hard way. Despite rushing for 2,856 yards in 10 games his senior season in 1998 and being named the top football player in the state, Brewer never received Staff file photo a scholarship offer from Cooper and the Buckeyes.

Not that Ohio State was alone — none of the Big 10 ture in the paper,” Brewer schools or other Midwest powsaid of one particular run ers came up with scholarship during the game. “I had the offers for Brewer, whom many ball on a sweep and some recruiting analysts deemed guy from Piqua got a hand too small and too slow to on me — think it was No. play at the Division I level.

Troy’s Corey Smith blasts his way out of the sand during Wednesday’s match against Wayne at Miami Shores Golf Course.

What they needed Trojan boys beat Wayne, girls crush Butler

Staff Reports

TROY — After a disappointing match — albeit a win — against Greenville last week, Troy needed a pick-me-up.

Four players below 40 on the same day did just that.

Kaleb Tittle shot an even-par 36 to lead four sub-40 Trojans to a seasonbest score and a 152-169 rout of Greater Western Ohio Conference crossover foe Wayne Wednesday at Miami Shores Golf Course, the day before arguably the most important game of the season against North Division rival Butler.

“We needed this one,” Troy boys golf coach Mark Evilsizor said. “After last week, we had a long talk after Monday’s practice.

The kids were kind of going through the motions to that point, and we needed to refocus on what our goals for the year were. Last week was a rough week.

“And with (Thursday’s) match coming up … the

GWOC North title goes through either Troy or Vandalia.”

The match against the Warriors gave the Trojans (5-2, 2-0) plenty of momentum to ride.

Tittle’s 36 was good enough for medalist hon-

ors on the day. Dalton Cascaden had a hectic upand-down round, but he still finished with a 38. Grant Kasler and Matt Monnin each shot 39s to cap off the scoring, Connor Super • See GOLF on page 16

CLAYTON — Troy has suffered a pair of narrow losses this season.

Wednesday, the Trojans finally turned one of those results around.

Troy improved to 2-3 on the season, bouncing back from a 3-2 loss in its Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division opener against Greenville on Tuesday with a 3-2 victory over GWOC crossover opponent Northmont Wednesday at Northmont High School.

“It was good to finally come out on the positive side of a 3-2 score,” Troy tennis coach Mark Goldner said.

And after getting shut out at singles the previous day against the Green Wave, Troy picked up two wins there over the T-Bolts.

At second singles, Maggie Hennessy defeated M. Anderson 7-5, 6-3. At third singles, Shelby Arnett defeated K. Harden 6-1, 6-2.

The clincher came at first doubles, where Noelle Culp and Marina Wehrkamp defeated E. Barone and M. Hibbard 6-2, 6-3.

At first singles, Hannah Essick lost to A. Parker 7-6, 6-0. And at second doubles, Akari Nagata and Zoey Scancarello lost to A. McCain and H. Weaver 6-1, 6-4.

“Shelby Arnett was in control of her match at third singles, while Maggie Hennessy’s match was close in both of her sets,” Goldner said. “It was nice to see Maggie win the big points to pull out the win at second singles.

“Culp and Wehrkamp were in control of their match at first doubles, while Nagata and Scancarello struggled early and just couldn’t catch up with Northmont at second doubles.”

Troy travels to Wayne today.

Tipp offenses explode in sweep of Urbana Staff Reports

TIPP CITY — Tippecanoe’s offense has had its struggles in the early part of this season.

It may have finally started to wake up.

Three different Red Devils scored two goals apiece and Tippecanoe evened up its record at 2-2 with a 9-1 victory over Urbana Wednesday night in Central Buckeye Conference crossover play.

“It was a good confidence booster for a lot of the guys,” Tippecanoe boys soccer coach Scott Downing said.

Darius Appora, John Pfister and Kevin Ryan each scored two goals, while Ben Felter, Ryan Kagy and Mitchell Colvin each had one.

Still, even with his team up 5-0 at half-

time, Downing thought they still weren’t playing up to their potential. But then even after they didn’t score as many goals in the second half, he thought they had turned it around.

“We actually struggled to finish in the first half,” Downing said. “We didn’t really start scoring until late in the first half, had a few guys miss some chances wide early. But the second half was much better.

“Even up 5-0, we were just not playing well. I told the guys in the locker room that the way we were playing would not beat any of the top teams we will play this season. In the second half, we kept possession better and played some good soccer.”

Tippecanoe takes on Greenon Sept. 4.

• Girls Tippecanoe 10, Urbana 0 URBANA — After a scoreless tie at Troy Saturday night, Tippecanoe’s offense has come alive.

The Red Devils (3-0-1) have scored 13 goals in their last two games — including putting home double digits Wednesday night in a 10-0 Central Buckeye Conference crossover matchup at Urbana.

Chelsea Clawson had a hat trick with three goals, Sarah Harmer and Lexi Blair each had two goals and an assist, while Holly Bernhold had a goal and an assist. McKenzie Logan also added a goal as Tippecanoe outshot Urbana 15-2.

Tippecanoe hosts Greenon Sept. 4.

Bengals have unusually high expectations CINCINNATI (AP) — The streak is already hanging over them.

The Bengals haven’t won a playoff game since the 1990 season, a stretch of futility tied for seventhlongest in NFL history.

They’ve had four chances in the last eight years, and botched all of them.

They’ve gone to Houston each of the last two seasons and lost miserably.

Make it 22 years without a postseason win.

Just getting to the playoffs again in 2013 would be a huge accomplishment. No Bengals team has gone to the playoffs three straight years. Even that wouldn’t be enough.

“Guys are not going to be satisfied just getting to the playoffs anymore,” receiver Andrew Hawkins said. “Now that we’ve been there a couple of years and our core guys have been together for three years, you see guys all focused toward that. There’s a little better atmosphere for it.”

Five things that will decide whether they get back to the playoffs and get that breakthrough win: • HANDLING THE EXPECTATIONS

The Bengals were considered a fluke when they snared a wild card in 2011 — only one of their nine wins that season came against a team that finished with a winning record.

They were better last year, but lost to Houston again.

While other playoff teams had significant turnover in the offseason, the Bengals brought their roster back virtually intact, making them an early favorite for the playoffs. But veterans know the dynamic changes when a team is expected to win. “One of the hardest things to overcome is expectations,” cornerback Terence Newman said. “I think it’s easy when you’re the underdog because you have to work, people are discrediting you. They’re not giving you a chance.

Once you get so much expectation and people pat you on the back, some people start to believe it. It’s just the worst thing possible.” The Bengals didn’t handle the pressure in the playoffs. Now, they’re going to have a little bit of it from the outset. Are they ready for it?

sons have been an unprecedented success by every measure except one. He’s the first Bengals quarterback to lead them into the playoffs each of his first two seasons. Now, it’s up to him to get them deeper into the playoffs. A lot of it is on Dalton, who had two of his worst showings in the playoffs. “The team usually goes as the quarterback goes,” Dalton said.

“That’s just kind of how football is. The guy that has the ball in his hands every play, I think that’s just how the game of foot-

ball works. For people saying that, they’re not saying anything new.” If he wants to be ranked among the league’s best, Dalton is going to have to do much better this time. “You have to win big games — which he’s won — but you have to win playoff games and then, obviously, win a Super Bowl to be looked at as an elite quarterback in the NFL,” coach Marvin Lewis said.

• EIFERT AND GIO The Bengals’ decision to keep their roster intact meant few openings for a

rookie to make an impact.

Two of them will get the chance. Tight end Tyler Eifert was drafted in the first round and running back Giovani Bernard in the second to give the passing game more diversity and provide Dalton with more options. Also, the Bengals are counting on second-year receivers Mohamed Sanu and Marvin Jones to emerge and make a difference on an offense that ranked only 22nd last season.

“Something that’s really good coming into this year is everybody’s back, the whole offense is back, and we’ve added a couple of guys that are going to help us,” Dalton said.

• ADDITIONS ON DEFENSE A unit that has been ranked in the NFL’s Top 7 each of the last two years could be even better.

Top pick Dre Kirkpatrick missed most of his rookie season with a knee injury and is ready to start making an impact as an extra cornerback. Free-agent linebacker James Harrison made the 300-mile move from Pittsburgh, bringing another pass rusher and

a little fire to the defense.

The no-nonsense attitude was on display during training camp when he shunned the HBO “Hard Knocks” film crews that wanted to focus on him.

As cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones put it: “He gives you that swagger and that seal. You know when you mail off the letter you make sure you put a stamp on it. Well, he’s the stamp.”

• MUCH DEPTH Lewis has the deepest roster in his 11 seasons, giving the Bengals a chance to weather injuries without a significant dropoff — a problem in the past. The depth allowed them to draft defensive end Margus Hunt — a track star turned defensive end at Southern Methodist — in the second round, knowing it’ll be a while before he learns the game enough to make an impact. This year, they’re not desperately trying to fill holes. “As far as the talent on this team, it’s unparalleled,” Newman said. “You can look at different teams and say, ‘Well they’ve got this, they’ve got this.’ We have just as good as anybody else.”

Browns looking to climb from AFC North cellar

CLEVELAND (AP) — For his entire pro career, Joe Thomas has known nothing but change, misery and losing.

Welcome to Cleveland.

Oh, sure, he’s made six straight Pro Bowls with the Browns, earning the reliable and durable left tackle a yearly trip to Hawaii. Thomas, though, would trade all those vacations for one visit to the postseason.

“I want to go the playoffs,” Thomas said earlier this summer. “It’s no fun playing in the NFL when you’re going 4-12 every year. It’s just not, it’s drudgery.”

Those dreary days could be over.

With a first-year head coach who understands Cleveland’s passion, more experienced players and a committed owner in Jimmy Haslam, the Browns appear to be on the verge of turning their fortunes.

It’s been six years since they had a winning record, and 11 since their last playoff appearance, but Thomas believes the Browns are poised to contend.

And when he closes his eyes, Thomas envisions a wintry day in January near Lake Erie when football, the way it once was in Cleveland, is back.

“I think about the day of me running out of the tunnel for a home playoff game, that’s my dream,” he said. “That’s why I show up every day.”

If the Browns are indeed going to improve, they must gain ground in the rugged AFC North. Cleveland is just 16-50 inside one of the league’s toughest divisions and only 5-25 in the past five years.

Here’s are five things to watch as Cleveland enters the 2013 season: • CHUD’S IN CHARGE Like so many kids growing up in Ohio, Rob Chudzinski had his heart broken by the Browns. It’s his job to try and fix a few. Cleveland’s offensive coordinator in 2007 — when the Browns went 10-6 — Chudzinski takes over the team he

rooted for as a youngster and one that has chewed up and spit out coaches at an alarming rate.

Chudzinski, he’s “Chud” to everyone, is Cleveland’s sixth coach since 1999. He spent the past two years as Carolina’s offensive coordinator. With the Panthers, he directed a record-breaking offense he hopes to replicate in Cleveland. To assist AP photo him, the Browns hired offensive coordinator Norv Turner and defensive guru Ray Cleveland Browns running back Trent Richardson (33) talks with Chris Ogbonnaya and Brandon Horton, two of the best coordinators on Jackson (27) during practice at the team’s facility in Berea Monday. the market with proven track records.

Unless they start winning division the arm, but the Browns just aren’t 100 Turner’s job is to get the most out of second-year quarterback Brandon games, the Browns will stay stuck in the percent certain he has the other intangiWeeden, who has the physical tools and AFC North’s basement — their home bles to push them into playoff contention.

Weeden turns 30 in October, so the could thrive in an offense designed to his eight times in 11 years.

Since their return in 1999, the Browns clock is ticking on both him and the strengths.

• RICHARDSON READY TO have gone just 16-50 against Pittsburgh, team. The Browns signed veteran Jason Baltimore and Cincinnati. They’ve never Campbell as a backup in case Weeden RUMBLE His ribs healed and 10 pounds lighter gone better than 3-3, and that came in fails this year and they acquired some than a year ago, running back Trent their only two winning seasons (2002, extra draft picks in 2014, ammunition in case they have to maneuver to find their Richardson is set for a breakout season 2007) since their expansion rebirth.

The Browns have been competitive future QB. — as long as he stays healthy. Richardson Weeden won’t have his top target for rushed for 950 yards as a rookie, when he inside the division, but losing close games the first two games as wide receiver Josh played more than half the year with two doesn’t cut it.

With the Steelers rebuilding, the Gordon was suspended for failing the broken ribs.

Richardson lacked the same burst as Ravens losing key contributors from their NFL’s drug policy.

• ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK he had at Alabama, which is part of the Super Bowl title team, and the Bengals Cleveland’s defense will have moving reason he slimmed down to 225 pounds. being, well, the unpredictable Bengals, The 23-year-old, who also underwent the Browns could close the gap on their parts. More precisely, blitzing parts.

Horton has switched the Browns from knee surgery last year, looked terrific in three rivals.

“I think we’re making good strides,” a 4-3 to a 3-4 scheme, one that puts the preseason and credited his improvement to reviewing tapes of how he ran in Thomas said. “But we’ve got to win a premium on pressuring the quarterback. Cleveland restocked its defensive college and high school. Richardson said games to prove we’ve made strides.”

• WEEDEN’S GROWTH front, signing free agent linebackers it was “time to get back to the basics.”

• SOUTH IN THE NORTH Browns back to respectability. He’s got and if nothing else, it will be fun to watch.

COLUMBUS (AP) — There was a time not so long ago when Ohio State’s defense was one of the most feared, effective and efficient units in the country.

For this season’s second-ranked Buckeyes to contend for a Big Ten, let alone a national title, coach Urban Meyer knows his defenders have to harken back to the not-so-distant past.

“One thing about Ohio State defense, for a decade they were about as good a defense as there was in America,” Meyer said. “The last two years, it hasn’t been that way. So I’m anxious to get it back there to the Ohio State level.”

The defense was just good enough to get it through an undefeated season in 2012.

It provided the Big Ten defensive player of the year in lineman John Simon and always seemed to come up with a big play when needed.

No one thought it was a bad defense, but the numbers weren’t very good: 360 yards and 23 points a game, including surrendering 512 yards to California, 481 to Indiana and 403 to UAB. When they host Buffalo on Saturday, the Buckeyes are seeking improvement despite missing eight starters (including

suspended starting cornerback Bradley Roby) on that side of the ball.

There’s a lot to accomplish.

“Right now we still have a chip on our shoulder,” said All-Big Ten linebacker Ryan Shazier, one of only three holdover starters. “Some people don’t feel like we are worthy to be where we are right now (in the rankings). We’re fighting for championships in November right now.

“We plan on being the best in the Big Ten.” The new first-teamers include four sophomores and several juniors who have little experience in a big-game spotlight. So there’s a lot to prove — even to the coach.

“The jury is certainly out,” Meyer said. “I’m very comfortable with who they are as people and the way they practice. However, there’s nothing to gauge it upon other than practice. So how (do) they operate in a game? I’m really excited.

“I’m very confident.”

Acclaimed sophomores Adolphus Washington and Noah Spence get the call at the ends, with Michael Bennett at tackle and Joel Hale edging out Tommy Schutt at noseguard.

Despite losses, OSU’s ‘D’ might be better The linebackers alongside Shazier are Curtis Grant in the middle and Joshua Perry on the strong side.

“There’s a lot of guys in that front seven that we have high expectations for,” co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Luke Fickell said. “But until they do it in front of 107,000 people, we’re still going to sit here a little anxious to see what they can do. We really have liked what we’ve seen so far, and the upside is incredible.”

Meyer said he’s concerned about the depth and quality at linebacker, a spot that he calls a concern on the cusp of the new season.

The secondary includes rock-solid safeties C.J. Barnett and Christian Bryant, with Armani Reeves and Doran Grant at the corners.

“Our intent would be to be better than last year,” cornerbacks and special-teams coach Kerry Coombs said. “We’ve got a lot of young players who are going to play really, really hard.”

Beyond just beating Buffalo, the defense has set some lofty goals in the opener.

“We probably want to just leave a great impression on the world,” Barnett said.

“We want to be one of the best defenses in the country, so hopefully we can make strides toward that goal in this game.”

The names have changed, but the staff’s second year with even the young players means the defense can do more things.

“I think we’re going to be a faster defense and hopefully more aggressive as we grow in our scheme. And we’ll have more pressure packages,” Meyer said. “Last year we started the season as kind of a bend-but-don’t-break defense where it seemed we were always on heels. That’s not the kind of defense that anyone wants.”

Every team is optimistic before the games begin. But the Buckeyes’ defenders feel they are almost entitled to something better.

“Last year we had to work through some guys having doubts,” Bennett said of the flux that came with a new staff.

“But this year everyone’s bought in, everyone’s more excited and you can see that light at the end of the season that if we do everything right it’s not just 12-0 it’s … big things can happen.”

n Continued from page 13 Super shot a 40 and Corey Smith — filling in for the injured Troy Moore — shot 46.

“Kaleb’s been struggling a little lately, so I was happy to see him get over that hump a little,” Evilsizor said. “He had two birdies, two bogeys and the rest were pars. A great round. And Dalton, man, I’ve never seen a round like that. He had an eagle, two birdies and six bogeys — no pars, yet still a 38.

“Grant’s been Mr. Steady for us all year, very consistent, and Matt’s been frustrated lately, too, but he really had it going today. He was 1-under after six holes, kind of struggled at the end but still finished well.

“The boys played really well today.”

And now they hope to ride that into a key showdown with the Aviators today at Troy Country Club. The action starts at 3:30 p.m.

Milton-Union 158, Brookville 170 LEWISBURG — Milton-Union continued its hot start to the season Wednesday, routing Brookville in Southwestern Buckeye League play in a 158-170 victory at Penn Terra.

Joey Smedley was medalist with 35, Mitch Gooslin shot 37, Josh Martin shot 42, Jake Stefano and Zach Glodrey each shot 44 and Jack Blevins shot 55.

Miilton-Union improved to 5-0 on the season and stayed perfect at 3-0 in the SWBL. The Bulldogs travel to Northridge today.

Miami East 168, Bradford 226 ST. PARIS — Miami East tied its home course record at Lakeland, set by the 2009 Vikings, Tuesday with a 168-226 win over Bradford.

Zach Ostendorf shot 40 for medalist honors, Ryan Bergman added a 41, Kley Karadak shot 42, Scot Kirby and Devyn Carson each shot 45 and Dylan Martinez shot 46.

Bradford was led by Alex Swabb’s 52.

• Girls Troy 178, Butler 214 VANDALIA — The Troy Trojans faced the biggest test they will probably see in Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division play all season Wednesday.

And all of Ali Helman’s studying paid off.

The sophomore shot a career-best 41 against rival Butler Wednesday — and on a tough course that she’d never seen before, also, in Cassel Hills’ back nine — to lead the Trojans to a 178214 victory that solidified Troy’s place atop the GWOC North.

“It’s a very difficult course with a lot of hills, water and blind shots,” Troy girls golf coach Tom Mercer said.

“And Ali had never played it before. A 41 is an outstanding score, and the best she’s had in her young career.

“I was just so happy for her because she’s put in a lot of time and extra effort to improve her game. It’s nice to see a kid enjoy a round like that, especially with her getting to see all of her hard work starting to pay dividends.”

She wasn’t alone,

Brewer

n Continued from page 13 Brewer instead opted for a scholarship offer from South Carolina — which was in the midst of one of the worst losing streaks in school history at the time.

Under the guidance of coach Lou Holtz, the Gamecocks quickly turned things around, earning a trip to the Outback Bowl Brewer’s sophomore season.

South Carolina’s opponent in that bowl game?

Ohio State.

Once again, Brewer cashed in on his chance for revenge, as he tallied 214 all-purpose yards and scored three touchdowns to lead the Gamecocks to a 24-7 victory over the Buckeyes. In the game’s aftermath, Brewer was named the game’s MVP and Cooper was fired as Ohio State’s head coach the very next day.

“I have a lot of great memories from Troy — but that Ohio State game in the Outback Bowl is tough to top,” Brewer said.

Indeed, Brewer’s accomplishments in his four years at Troy are seemingly endless. He holds nearly every major rushing record in school history, including: career rushing yards (7,656), sin-

gle-season rushing yards (2,856), most points scored in a season (288) and most points scored in a career (761).

Not only are his totals school records — they are seemingly untouchable. He’s the only running back to rush for more than 2,000 yards in a season twice in his career and his career rushing total is more than 2,100 yards more than the second-best total in school history.

“It was a heck of ride growing up in Troy,” Brewer said. “From the school itself to the coaching staff to the teachers to my teammates, I don’t think I would want it any other way. If you are a big-time high school football fan, Troy is the best place in the world to be.”

Following his career at South Carolina, Brewer played briefly in NFL Europe before returning to South Carolina and opening his own business. While he’s gone on to a successful career after football, Brewer said he’ll never forget his time at Troy — and is deeply honored to be a member of the first hall of fame class.

“It’s pretty special,” Brewer said. “It’s always nice to be recognized.” dfong@civitasmedia.com

Johnson wins it in 9th, Braves beat Indians

ATLANTA (AP) — Chris Johnson singled to left with two outs in the ninth inning for his first career walk-off hit and the Atlanta Braves won again at home, beating the Cleveland Indians 3-2 on Wednesday night.

Jordan Schafer drove in Atlanta’s first two runs, then scored the winner after reaching on an infield single and stealing his second base of the night. Freddie Freeman was intentionally walked before Johnson lined a 2-2 pitch to left off Joe Smith (5-2).

The Braves improved to 46-18 at Turner Field, the best home record in the majors.

Mike Aviles homered and drove in both Cleveland runs.

Craig Kimbrel (3-2) earned the win with a perfect ninth.

Justin Masterson pitched five-hit ball but made a crucial mistake in the second.

After Brian McCann led off with a single, Andrelton Simmons lined a twoout double into the left-field corner. Even though McCann was running on contact, the slow-moving catcher had no chance of coming all the way around to score on

a ball that ricocheted off the wall, right to outfielder Michael Brantley.

Masterson was still in good shape, with the light-hitting Paul Maholm coming up. He was batting just .133 and had not walked all season. But his Cleveland counterpart left four pitches outside the strike zone — and paid dearly for it.

Schafer came up next and ripped a single to left, bringing home two runs to put Atlanta ahead.

Aviles just cleared the left-field wall with his eighth homer of the season in the fourth, snapping Cleveland’s 12 2-3 inning scoreless streak in Atlanta. The Braves won the opener of the series 2-0.

Aviles tied it up in the eighth with a sacrifice fly.

The Indians, seeking their first playoff berth since 2007, are off to a rough start in one of the most important stretches of the season.

After wrapping up their three-game series with the Braves, they move on to play three games in Detroit against the AL Central-leading Tigers before returning home to face Baltimore, another playoff contender.

Venus Williams loses 3rd-set tiebreaker at US Open NEW YORK (AP) — Venus Williams dug herself out of deficits over and over again, until she simply ran out of solutions, exiting the U.S. Open before the third round for the third year in a row.

At 33, two-time champion Williams was the oldest woman in the second round at Flushing Meadows, and while she made things interesting after a poor start to the match and to the final set, she couldn’t sustain her solid play all the way through and lost to 56th-ranked Zheng Jie of China 6-3, 2-6, 7-6 (5) on a wet Wednesday.

The match last 3 hours, 2 minutes — making it the longest between women in the tournament so far — and the third set alone went 1½ hours, closing when Williams missed a volley, then a return, on the last two points. She wound up with 44 unforced errors in all, half on forehands.

During her on-court interview, Zheng addressed the partisan crowd that was pulling for Williams, saying: “First, I want to say, ‘Sorry, guys.’”

Rain began falling in the early afternoon, jumbling the schedule, and eight women’s singles matches were postponed, including Williams’ younger sister, defending champion Serena, against Galina Voskoboeva. In

all, there were more than four hours of delays during the day, and 2012 men’s winner Andy Murray had yet to play a point as the time approached 9 p.m.

Wednesday.

In the handful of matches that were completed by early evening — men in the first round, women in the second — 2011 French Open champion Li Na, and 2012 Wimbledon runner-up Agnieszka Radwanska won in straight sets, as did 30th-seeded Laura Robson of Britain. No. 17 Kevin Anderson, No. 21 Mikhail Youzhny and 109th-ranked

American wild-card entry Tim Smyczek were among the men’s winners.

Venus Williams and Zheng, a former top-15 player who twice reached Grand Slam semifinals, played all of two points at the beginning before their match was interrupted by showers.

When they resumed about two hours later, at 15-all in the opening game, Williams’ play was full of mistakes. In the first set, she only managed to put 46 percent of her first serves in play, and she accumulated 15 unforced errors, 10 more

than Zheng. The American, who owns seven Grand Slam singles titles in all, failed to convert any of six break points, while losing serve twice.

And then came the second set, and a significant shift.

Suddenly, Williams looked a lot more like the player who won the U.S. Open in 2000 and 2001.

After falling behind by a break in the third set, and being two points away from losing — at 5-3, when Zheng served for the victory, then again in the next game — Williams put up quite a fight to extend the match, drawing raucous support from clapping, yelling and standing fans at Louis Armstrong Stadium.

With a drizzle coming down, and play halted on other courts, Williams and Zheng stayed out there and kept going.

Zheng grabbed a 4-1 lead in the tiebreaker, before Williams made one last stand. It was 4-all after Zheng dumped a forehand into the net on a 23-stroke exchange, then leaned over at the baseline, resting on her racket as if it were a cane.

Then, at 5-all, Williams put a backhand volley into the net as she lost her footing and sat on the court, wincing. That gave Zheng her first match point, and Williams’ backhand service return was off the mark, ending her stay in the singles draw.

Williams was ranked No. 1 in 2002, but she last was a member of the top 10 when she was No. 9 in March 2011, and she’s currently 60th. The last time she made it beyond the third round at a Grand Slam tournament was a fourth-round appearance at Wimbledon that season.

At the 2011 U.S. Open, Williams withdrew before her second-round match, announcing she had been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that saps energy. She lost in the second round in New York last year.

And her results have faded more, with losses in the first round at two her previous four trips to major tournaments, including at the French Open in May. Bothered much of this season by a bad lower back, Williams sat out Wimbledon for the only time in her career in June.

She looked solid in her firstround match Monday, a 6-1, 6-2 victory over 12th-seeded Kirsten Flipkens, a Wimbledon semifinalist this year.

But Williams could not follow that up Wednesday against Zheng and her contrasting style of blocking shots back and covering a lot of ground along the baseline.
