Heat takes toll, but fans keep rocking Melanie Yingst Staff Writer

Egypt security forces arrest top Sinai militant CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian security forces said they arrested Saturday a top wanted militant in the Sinai Peninsula, while authorities reported a failed attempt to disrupt traffic on the strategic Suez Canal but gave scant detail.

Canal authority chairman Mohab Mamish said a “terrorist element” had tried to disrupt navigation in the waterway by targeting a Panama-flagged ship.

In comments carried by official news agency MENA, he said the attempt was “completely unsuccessful” and the container carrier unharmed. He did not say how the ship was targeted.

TROY — The heat and humidity took its toll on the crowds at Troy Memorial Stadium gathered for the Gentlemen of the Road’s first night of music.

Approximately 63 people were treated for dehydration at the Alumni Victory Room and at The Rec’s at the medical stations well into the night. According to city of Troy’s Fire Department Chief Chris Boehringer, 12 people were trans-

ported to Upper Valley Medical Center and a Huber Heights health facility to receive treatment related to alcohol and the heat of Friday’s concert.

“There were all definitely due to the heat and alcohol,” Boehringer said Saturday afternoon.

Boehringer credited the swift action of the medical staff who were able to reach those who passing out in the crowds at Troy Memorial Stadium.

“Everything has been pretty quiet,” Boehringer

said. “Our teams were able to get in, get out and get to the side, to get those who needed medical attention so we just want to thank all the various agencies for their work this weekend.”

Boehringer said the whole event was a success in terms of local volunteer firefighters and their equipment as well as the medics and teams in and around the venue.

Flippin’ flapjacks for the fans

David Fong Executive Editor

TROY — Music may have filled the air Friday night — but it was pancakes that filled the air Saturday morning.

On the morning following Friday night’s Gentlemen of the Road Stopover Tour concert, featuring Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros — hundreds of fans lined up outside of The Rec Saturday morning, looking for breakfast and a show — both of which they received.

“We had people down the block and across the street,” said Nicole Hanes, executive director of The Rec. “It was incredible.”

The Rec was one of a number of local non-profit organizations that benefitted greatly from the Gentlemen of the Road Stopover Tour. It served an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast for hundreds of hungry fans.

TROY — Mumford & Sons was the big draw this weekend on the Gentleman of the Road Stopover Tour.

But the fact of the matter is that there were several other talented musicians on hand, from all different genres, playing all weekend long.

Half Moon Run, Willy Mason, Phosphorescent and headliner Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros kicked off the tour Friday night. Bear’s Den was the opening band Saturday, followed by Those Darlins, Rubblebucket, Justin Townes Earle, the son of the legendary Steve Earle, The Vaccines, Old Crow Medicine Show, Grammy award winning

Although the pair admitted Mumford & Sons was who they most looked forward to seeing, they said what really drew them to the Gentleman of the Road Stopover in Troy was the idea of big bands coming to small, unique cities and playing for their fans.

“We saw the Big Easy Express,” Rizwan explained. “It was electrifying, the idea of the whole show in small communities, and kind of not really corporate, big festivals.”

Lawmakers begin to grapple with Syria question WASHINGTON (AP) — Members of Congress, abruptly handed exactly the war powers many had demanded, grappled Saturday with whether to sign off on President Barack Obama’s plan to punish Syria for an alleged chemical weapons attack. Now with a stake in the nation’s global credibility, lawmakers were seeking more information about the possible consequences of striking a region without knowing what would happen next.

The debate over what action, if any, Congress might approve is in its infancy as lawmakers prepare for a public hearing Tuesday by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. But the first contours began emerging within hours of Obama’s announcement.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said he doesn’t believe Syria should go unpun-

ished for the Aug. 21 attack near Damascus. “But we need to understand what the whole scope of consequences is,” he said by telephone. “What the president may perceive as limited … won’t stop there.”

Arguing for a strategy that seeks to end Syrian President Bashar Assad’s rule, Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina issued a joint statement saying that any operation should be broader in scope than the “limited” scope Obama described.

“We cannot in good conscience support isolated military strikes in Syria that are not part of an overall strategy that can change the momentum on the battlefield, achieve the president’s stated goal of Assad’s removal from power, and bring an end to this conflict, which is a growing

threat to our national security interests,” the senators said.

“Anything short of this would be an inadequate response to the crimes against humanity that Assad and his forces are committing. And it would send the wrong signal to America’s friends and allies, the Syrian opposition, the Assad regime, Iran, and the world - all of whom are watching closely what actions America will take,” they said.

Lawmakers of both parties had, for days, demanded that Obama seek congressional authorization under the War Powers Act. Until Saturday, the president showed no willingness to do so and the military strike appeared imminent. Then, from the White House Rose Garden, Obama said he would strike Syria in a limited way and without boots on the

ground. But, he added, he would seek congressional approval first.

“All of us should be accountable as we move forward, and that can only be accomplished with a vote,” Obama said.

“And in doing so, I ask you, members of Congress, to consider that some things are more important than partisan differences or the politics of the moment.”

With that, Obama dropped the question of Syria, the nation’s credibility and the balance of government power in the very laps of lawmakers who had complained about his go-it-alone-style — but were less clear about how they would want to deal with a horrific chemical attack that the administration said killed 1,429 people, including 426 children. Other estimates of the death toll were in the hundreds.

With parade, Newtown reflects ‘how we’re healing’ NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — Ten thousand decisions go into creating a big, boisterous parade. No one knows that better than Robin Buchanan, who for years has juggled the lineup at the Labor Day parade that has jubilantly closed out every Newtown summer for more than five decades.

But never before had this happened: Calls and emails from regulars, folks who always marched, concerned about the most basic decision of all.

“Are you going to have a parade,” they asked her, “this year?”

This year.

Meaning: After the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, after the eulogies for 20 first-graders and six educators, amid the drumbeat of news stories across the country and hushed conversations around town, all adding up — still — to incomprehension.

A parade, this year?

On an icy evening back in January, barely a month after the shootings, a small group met with sad hugs to confront that question.

It’s always been a daunting task for the Labor Day Parade Committee to map out the two-hour extravaganza — to arrange the vintage warplane flyovers or get the stagecoach that’s pulled by four matched horses or the ballfield-size American flag, or whatever, to make sure of security and to hash out ways to pay the bills.

But this time, the committee members — two of whom serve out of devotion even though they’re divorced from each other — sat hollow-eyed under the

fluorescent lights of a bank conference room. Outside, handmade memorials still fluttered on lampposts. The funerals were still raw memories.

How could you focus on a parade? Who would be the grand marshal, a happy honor normally but surely a heavy burden this time around? What would the theme be? Could it be anything but a memorial?

But if so, what kind of parade is that?

“How’s everybody doing?” someone asked. There were tears as they went around the table, answering. It’s a tight group, and this was the first time they’d been together since “the incident.”

Yet they knew that planning a parade is a long process. And they sensed that, somehow, this year it could be one piece of the enormous task facing the shattered town and many beyond it, of finding ways to move forward through grief.

So they got going, staying on the mundane issues of assigning duties and making preliminary decisions.

“I think we’re all kind of nervous about how we proceed,” said Beth Caldwell, the head of the committee, a petite, hard-charging real estate agent by day.

Through the months ahead, she would work to maintain a delicate balance — “respectful of what has happened and still offering an avenue of celebration.” Often she’d be the one, when discussions turned somber, who injected a laugh or a cold dose of let’s-keep-moving reality.

“We can say what we want to happen,” she said, assessing the job ahead, “but the parade kind of takes on a life of its own.”

The town’s upcoming 2013 parade faced for the first time calls and emails from regulars, folks who always marched, concerned about the most basic decision of all_how to proceed with a parade this year, nearly nine months after shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School left 26 dead, 20 of them children.

AP Photo, Sept. 7, 2009

Newtown’s parade has been a fixture since 4,000 spectators turned out for the first step-off on Sept. 3, 1962. It often falls on a glorious Indian summer day, but even in drizzle, people come out — to see their neighbors march, to catch the veterans’ color guard or the cartwheeling gymnastics team, or just to laugh at parade nonsense, like the grand marshal who once showed up in a gorilla suit and roller-skated the whole route.

Parade mornings start early. At first light, you see cars pulling to the curb all along Main Street, and folks unloading folding chairs and blankets that will line more than a mile of lawns. Having staked out front-row spots, they drive away for a quick breakfast.

Meanwhile, you’ll see a kilted bagpiper or perhaps a couple of Minutemen in full regalia, or maybe even Abe Lincoln in his stovepipe hat, heading north along the sidewalk to join their units. Obliviously, they’ll pass a cheerleader and football player, both also in uniform, hurrying the other way to join theirs.

And blending incongruously with regular traffic, you’ll notice polished Model T’s or finned 1950s Cadillacs with their tops down, Army jeeps and spindly antique farm tractors spouting puffs of black exhaust. They, too, cruise toward their places in line.

Then, with a siren’s whoop and the rattle of snare drums, it starts.

For two hours, the flood of marchers, floats, politicians, clowns, bands and Civil War re-enactors glides past, the latter stopping every once in a while to fire a rifle salute that startles old folks and sets a few babies bawling. There are animals of all kinds, from equestrian units and rescued shelter dogs to alpacas and, sometimes, beribboned cows from a dairy farm on the edge of town.

A couple years ago, volunteers were called to help unfurl and carry “the largest American flag” which stretched across the wide street. Spectators spontaneously joined in, marching along with children dancing in the moving shadow underneath.

first song, “Lover’s Eyes,” from their sophomore effort Babel.

The band, including members Marcus Mumford (lead vocals, guitar, drums, mandolin), Ben Lovett (vocals, keyboards, accordion, drums), Winston Marshall (vocals, banjo, guitar, resonator guitar) and Ted Dwane (vocals, string bass, drums, guitar), then thanked the throngs of concert-goers for their attendance, even inviting them back for a Troy Trojans football game next weekend.

And, not even the continuous drizzle of rain that persisted off and on throughout most of the rest of the concert would dampen the spirits of concert-goers that came from near and far to see their beloved Brits once they begin belting out their second tune “Little Lion Man.” Kate Laughlin and her fiance Tyler Gilcher, both of Dayton and teachers for Dayton Public Schools, said they came for not only the love of the bands, but to support the community just down

the road.

“I feel like it’s a great opportunity for (Mumford & Sons) and the city and it’s almost in our hometown,” said Laughlin, who said they have been sharing a limo back and forth from Dayton with a group of friends.

Julie Hufford of Troy attended Saturday’s concert with her husband Tom and their children.

She said after she heard Mumford & Sons were coming to Troy she bought tickets and set out to familiarize herself with

their music. She admits she’s now a fan.

“I came because we live right across the river and we just had to be a part of this to support the community,” said Hufford, who said her daughter brought a group of friends from Columbus who have all been camping out at their house all weekend. “The bands and music are great, it’s just been great.”

Amber Berry of California, a former Piqua resident, had a dual purpose for coming home.

“I came to see great

They served breakfast from 8 a.m. until noon Friday and Saturday and will be selling them again today. All of the money raised will go toward The Rec’s continuing renovation project.

“We’ve never had a fundraiser like this before,” Hanes said.

“This will probably be the most money we’ve raised in the history of The Rec at one event.

It’s great.”

The Rec wasn’t the only non-profit organization that benefitted from The Genttlemen of the Road Stopover Tour. Across the street, hundreds of fans lined up to buy The Troy Music Boosters’ famous strawberry doughnuts by the dozen. On the public square, the Troy Post 43 legion baseball team was selling hot dogs, hamburgers and drinks.

Sales at Post 43’s booth were brisk Friday night after the concert let out.

“I just saw all these people coming over the bridge and new I had to get back,” Post 43 coach Frosty Brown said of Friday night sales. “We had a lot of people come by. We did a good job.”

Brown and his wife, Connie, said Saturday morning they expected the same after Mumford & Sons played Saturday night.

“I just hope we don’t run out of stuff,” Connie Brown said. dfong@civitasmedia.com

“The three headliners, you know, like Old Crow, Mumford and Edward Sharpe, they played in the Big Easy Express — and it was just ridiculous,” said Sarmiento, of the film directed by Emmett Malloy, which detailed the concert experience of Edward Sharpe, Old Crow Medicine Show and Mumford & Sons. “I mean there was a lot of backstage stuff, where bands were collaborating with each other, and it was fantastic. I recommend watching it if you haven’t seen it.”

Not only did the tour bring people from all over, the surrounding area of Troy also joined in on the festivities.

David Whitt and Courtney Van Hook, Sidney natives,

were in attendance. Like most people, they were much anticipating the Mumford & Sons show, but they enjoyed the broad spectrum of bands at the concert.

“It was awesome,” Van Hook said.

“It’s the best venue ever,” Whitt added.

Townes Earle said it best in the middle of his set. He gave a special shout out to Mumford & Sons for bringing this type of concert to life.

“We want to thank Mumford & Sons and the audience,” Townes Earle said. “This, like, changed touring forever.”

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP

Express News, San Antonio, on Mexico should allow investment:

Mexico’s natural resources are its own.

There is no contradiction in that and reform that could allow some reasonable level of private investment in its oil.

Pemex, Mexico’s state oil monopoly, is in dire need of the technological improvements that might come with that foreign investment.

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto is proposing reform that falls short of a foreign company’s ability to own the oil and gas that the firm drills in Mexico.

But this just isn’t in the cards.

Mexicans have opposed constitutional tweaking that might even hint at anything less than 100 percent ownership of Mexican oil.

Nonetheless, Peña Nieto has proposed constitutional changes that would allow foreign firms to share some of the risk and profits of oil exploration.

Mexican oil production has dropped 25 percent in the last decade as wells have dried up.

More Mexican oil exists in deeper water and in shale, much as in the Eagle Ford play.

The petro facts of life being what they are in Mexico, Peña Nieto’s modest reforms are the most that can be accomplished.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, oil generated 16 percent of the country’s export earnings in 2011 and oil earnings were 34 percent of total Mexican government revenues that year.

A strong Mexican economy and well-funded government are good for Mexico — and its neighbors.

The Korea Herald, Seoul, South Korea, on Assembly session should not be disrupted:

The ongoing partisan standoff over the alleged meddling of the National Intelligence Service in the December presidential election is likely to continue into September, disrupting the imminent regular session of the National Assembly.

Under the law, the Assembly is required to start its 100-day regular session on Sept. 1. But a parliamentary paralysis appears to be inevitable as the rival camps are unable to find common ground on handling the thorny issue.

Political gridlock deepened after President Park Geun-hye made it clear Monday that she had no intention of accommodating the demands of the main opposition Democratic Party.

The opposition party demands that Park bring to light the truth about the allegations that the spy agency staged an online smear campaign against the DP presidential candidate.

It also demands that Park apologize for the whole affair and hold a one-on-one meeting with DP leader Kim Han-gil to discuss NIS reform.

Turning down Kim’s call for a tete-a-tete, Park renewed her offer for a five-way meeting, which would include the heads and floor leaders of both the opposition party and the ruling Saenuri Party.

Park avoids an exclusive meeting with the DP leader because she fears it will be dominated by the NIS issue. She insists on a meeting where the floor leaders participate because she needs their cooperation in pushing reform bills through the National Assembly.

In response to Park’s offer, DP leader Kim made a counterproposal. He suggested that Park meet with him first to discuss the NIS allegations and then hold a broader meeting to discuss bills related with people’s livelihoods.

Kim gave Park until Sept. 4 to respond to his proposal, but there is little chance of Park accepting it.

In fact, Kim himself did not put much hope on it.

Park urges the opposition party to stop futile political one-upmanship and focus on issues related to people’s well-being. Yet it is her intransigence that is keeping the party away from the National Assembly.

We do not question Park’s integrity when she claims she had no prior knowledge of the NIS’ alleged wrongdoing. But this does not necessarily mean that she can ignore the opposition party’s demands that the truth be established.

DP leader Kim said previously that he would meet with Park regardless of the dialogue format.

He should stick to his word.

THEY SAID IT “We came to see Mumford & Sons. I have always loved them, then I made them start listening to Mumford & Sons.

We were going to go to their show in Denmark in February, but we missed that.”

— Arnar Pall Sigrunarson, who came to Troy from Iceland with three of his friends to hear Mumford & Sons in concert “We have at least seven local fire departments at all three stations and extra engines at Stations 2 and 3. There will be nine to 10 (fire department staff members) at each of the two stations at all times and will be able to respond to every need with each crew.”

— Troy Fire Chief Chris Boehringer, on the safety precautions taken for the Gentlemen of the Road Stopover Tour in Troy “It’s all-you-can-eat.

For $10, you get pancakes, sausage, water and coffee. This morning, there were a lot of people who were probably drinking other things the night before that wanted coffee.”

— Nicole Hanes, executive director of The Rec, on selling pancake breakfasts during the Gentlemen of the Road Stopover Tour WRITE TO US: The Troy Daily News welcomes signed letters to the editor.

Quit blaming video games for violent actions Don’t believe the hype.

Especially when the national media so desperately wants you to.

Earlier this week, an eight-yearold boy shot and killed his grandmother. The story got plenty of headlines – but it never got the right one. And it’s very, very likely that that was an intentional choice on a national level.

You see, we journalists (well, good journalists) look at stories, find the most newsworthy part of it and lead with that. So in this case, the fact – FACT – that this family had left a loaded gun out somewhere that a not even 10-year-old could get to it led directly to the shooting, and it is the most important fact about this story.

But no. That’s not what led the coverage of this incident.

Because the kid may have played “Grand Theft Auto” before pulling the trigger.

Seriously, we’re still doing this?

A loaded gun is less dangerous than a video game? If you honestly believe that last sentence, then you are a moron. I won’t understate it or mince words just to seem more politically correct. If you think a piece of entertainment is more potentially damaging than a weapon whose only purpose is

to harm, then you are completely Duty” series for Hitler’s attempted devoid of intelligence and need to genocide? Maybe the “Command have your brain examined. and Conquer” franchise?

erroneous, misleading and biased reporting can change one simple fact.

Video games do not directly lead to violence. A person making a conscious decision to throw a punch or pick up a gun and pulling the trigger does.

Believe me, if violent video games had any causal relationship to violent acts, I would have laid waste to this entire world many times over years ago. But I have only thrown one punch in my entire life — and that was in defense of my younger brother.

If someone cuts me off in traffic, I don’t pull ahead of them, cut them off, stop, pull them out of their car and beat them to death.

Instead, I go home, turn on my XBox, drive on the sidewalks of Liberty City for a while … and feel much better.

I have never once made the decision to commit real violence.

I’ve never even come close. And I never will. Because games like “GTA” exist.

But I most certainly will be at a midnight release for “GTA V,” because that game is going to be a work of art.

And that’s hype you can actually believe.

David Lee Baker age 58 of Englewood died suddenly on Saturday, August 24, 2013. P Funeral services will be Wednesday, September 4, 2013 at the Hale-Sarver Family Funeral Home, 284 N. Miami Street, West Milton.

Grave excavation begins at Fla. reform school site MARIANNA, Fla. (AP) — University of South Florida researchers began exhuming dozens of graves Saturday at a former Panhandle reform school in hopes of identifying the boys buried there and learning how they died.

University spokeswoman Lara Wade said in a message Saturday that the work had begun. Researchers are removing dirt with trowels and by hand to find the remains believed to be between about 19 inches to a little more than three feet under the surface.

“In these historic cases, it’s really about having an accurate record and finding out what happened and knowing the truth about what happened,” said Erin Kimmerle, a USF anthropologist who is leading the excavation.

Former inmates at the reform school from the 1950s and 1960s have detailed horrific beatings that took place in a small, white concrete block building at the facility. A group of survivors call themselves the “White House Boys” and five years ago

called for an investigation into the graves. In 2010, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement ended an investigation and said it could not substantiate or refute claims that boys died at the hands of staff.

USF later began its own research and discovered even more graves than the state department had identified. USF has worked for months to secure a permit to exhume the remains, finally receiving permission from Gov. Rick Scott and the state Cabinet after being rejected by Secretary of State Ken Detzner, who reports to Scott.

Robert Straley, a spokesman for the White House Boys, said the school segregated white and black inmates and that the remains are located where black inmates were held. He suspects there is another white cemetery that hasn’t been discovered.

“I think that there are at least 100 more bodies up there,” he said. “At some point they are going to find more bodies, I’m dead certain of that. There has to be a white graveyard on the

white side.”

Among those that have pushed to allow USF to conduct the research are Republican Attorney General Pam Bondi and Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson.

“My goal all along has been to help bring closure to the families who lost loved ones at Dozier. I feel great relief that the work to identify human remains is now underway,” Bondi said through a spokeswoman.

USF will work at the site until Tuesday and hopes to unearth the remains of two to four boys before resuming the excavation at a later date, Kimmerle said. The initial work will ensure that the process works smoothly before researchers return to the site.

DNA obtained at the site will be sent to the University of North Texas Center for Human Identification for analysis. The hope is that it can be matched to relatives. Ten families have contacted researchers in hopes of identifying relatives that might be buried at Dozier.

If matches are found, remains will be returned to the families.

New Bay Bridge to open decades after ‘89 quake SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — When traffic flows across the new stretch of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge for the first time next week, it will do so nearly a quarter-century after a deadly earthquake during the 1989 World Series collapsed two 50-foot sections of the old structure.

The 6.9-magnitude Loma Prieta quake hit just as millions tuned in to watch Game 3 of the “Bay Bridge World Series” between the Oakland Athletics and San Francisco Giants, killing 63 people and causing up to $10 billion in damage.

The Bay Bridge failure, one of the temblor’s most memorable images, prompted one of the costliest public works projects in state history. The $6.4 billion project finally draws to a close after decades of political bickering, engineering challenges and billions in cost overruns. The new bridge is scheduled to open by 5 a.m. Tuesday at the latest.

The delays magnified public safety concerns over the need for a permanent solution as the original, seismically unsafe bridge, which opened during the administration of President Franklin Roosevelt, was patched up and continued operating.

Highlighting the decades of complications, the scheduled opening of the new bridge was in jeopardy again this year after crews discovered dozens of defective rods used to anchor the roadway to important earthquake safety structures.

The bridge will open with a temporary fix for these broken rods while the permanent repair, expected to be completed in December, is being installed.

Issues with the rods and myriad delays have left many commuters with a feeling of trepidation about the bridge, even though state officials say it’s one of the safest in the world.

The self-anchored suspension bridge with a looming, single white tower was designed to endure 150 years and withstand the strongest earthquake estimated by seismologists to occur at the site over a 1,500-year period.

Steve Heminger, chairman of the Toll Bridge Program Oversight Committee, the project’s watchdog, said the span is orders of magnitude safer than the current crossing.

“Some bridges in California have

been built not to collapse in an earthquake, but they may be out of service,” Heminger said. “We couldn’t have that with the Bay Bridge, which is not only pivotal to the economy but also plays a critical role in helping us recover.”

“I’m not here to suggest that there weren’t construction challenges along the way, but they have been dealt with.”

In the decades since the earthquake, the bridge replacement project overcame many hurdles.

An initial scientific recommendation following Loma Prieta called for retrofitting the current span, not replacing it. A National Science Foundation team that studied damage to the bridge said in 1992 that the current eastern portion should be retrofitted for an estimated cost of $230 million.

On this date: In 1715, following a reign of 72 years, King Louis XIV of France died four days before his 77th birthday.

In 1807, former Vice President Aaron Burr was found not guilty of treason. (Burr was then tried on a misdemeanor charge, but was again acquitted.)

In 1902, the Georges Melies (meh-lee-EHZ') short film "Le Voyage dans la lune" (A Trip to the Moon) opened in France.

In 1913, the play "Androcles and the Lion" by George Bernard Shaw had its British debut at the St. James's Theatre in London (it had previously been performed in Berlin).

In 1923, the Japanese cities of Tokyo and Yokohama were devastated by an earthquake that claimed some 140,000 lives.

In 1932, New York City Mayor James J. "Gentleman Jimmy" Walker resigned following charges of graft and corruption in his administration.

In 1942, U.S. District Court Judge Martin I. Welsh, ruling from Sacramento, Calif., on a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of Fred Korematsu, upheld the wartime detention of Japanese-Americans as well as Japanese nationals.

In 1951, the United States, Australia and New Zealand signed a mutual defense pact, the ANZUS treaty.

In 1961, the Soviet Union ended a moratorium on atomic testing with an above-ground nuclear explosion in central Asia.

A TWA Lockheed Constellation crashed shortly after takeoff from Chicago's Midway Airport, killing all 78 people on board.

In 1972, American Bobby Fischer won the international chess crown in Reykjavik (RAY'kyuh-vik), Iceland, as Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union resigned before the resumption of Game 21. An arson fire at the Blue Bird Cafe in Montreal, Canada, claimed 37 lives.

In 1983, 269 people were killed when a Korean Air Lines Boeing (NYSE:BA) 747 was shot down by a Soviet jet fighter after the airliner entered Soviet airspace.

Marchers chant slogans against President Enrique Pena Nieto’s proposed energy reform that would allow private companies to explore the country’s oil and gas reserves, in Mexico City, Saturday. The proposed reform requires constitutional changes that strike at the heart of one of Mexico’s proudest moments: President Lazaro Cardenas’ nationalization of the oil company in 1938. The march was led

by Cardenas’ son Cuauhtemoc.

are down, his government says without releasing statistics. But kidnapping and extortion, the crimes affecting average citizens that Pena Nieto promised to attack, are on the rise.

After 12 years out of office, the once-autocratic party known as the PRI is encountering a more complicated, democratic country than the one it ran for 71 years.

“They have to learn how to govern in a new context where there are a greater number of new voices from new spaces, and there is less control,” said Alberto Aziz Nassif,

an analyst with the Center for Investigations in Social Anthropology.

With GDP growth projections dropping from 3.1 to 1.8 percent this year, and protesting teachers forcing legislators to shelve a key piece of his education reform, Pena Nieto cancelled a trip to Turkey to rescue the meat of the education reform in Congress.

“Let me tell you, in this effort we will not relent.

We will not surrender. We are going firmly and with determination to make education reform happen,” he said at a presidential

stop on Wednesday celebrating Senior Citizens Day. Pena Nieto worked during the campaign to convince voters that they were voting for a new PRI, devoid of the corruption and coercive tactics that got the party kicked out in 2000. He was elected in July 2012 as an alternative to six years of the Felipe Calderon administration, which was marked by a bloody and divisive attack on organized crime and a legislative agenda in many ways similar to Pena Nieto’s that fell victim to a divided Congress.

Mexico president’s can-do image is put to the test MEXICO CITY (AP) — President Enrique Pena Nieto came to power Dec. 1 with a swagger.

His Institutional Revolutionary Party, for all its faults, knew how to govern. He promised a new Mexico, an economic powerhouse far from its image as a violence-torn land overrun by drug traffickers. He passed radical reforms for education and telecommunications and proposed more for energy and taxes.

But nine months later, as Pena Nieto prepares to give his first state of the nation address on Monday, the new Mexico still looks a lot like the old one. Economic growth projections have been cut nearly in half. The streets are clogged with antireform protesters, who have blocked Congress and even forced the president to change the date and location of that state of the nation speech.

Egypt security forces arrest top Sinai militant

CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian security forces said they arrested Saturday a top wanted militant in the Sinai Peninsula, while authorities reported a failed attempt to disrupt traffic on the strategic Suez Canal but gave scant detail.

Canal authority chairman Mohab Mamish said a “terrorist element” had tried to disrupt navigation in the waterway by targeting a Panamaflagged ship. In comments carried by official news agency MENA, he said the attempt was “completely unsuccessful” and the container carrier unharmed.

He did not say how the ship was targeted.

Authorities have taken extra security measures to safeguard the waterway as lawlessness and violence gripped Sinai, where militants and smugglers rove relatively freely and target security forces and posts.

Mamish said military troops dealt “firmly” with the situation, and that navigation was largely uninterrupted. Earlier Saturday, residents of Port Said, a city that lies along the waterway, said they heard a loud bang. It was not immediately possible to reach witnesses later Saturday.

Egyptian authorities have heightened their security arrangements in recent weeks, following the military coup that ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi on July 3.

They accuse opponents of the coup of trying to destabilize the country, and have waged a security crackdown against members of the Muslim Brotherhood, from which Morsi hails, and other allies, arresting hundreds.

Pro-military media and state TV have frequently described the crackdown on Morsi supporters as a “fight against terrorism.”

Morsi supporters have held near-daily protests since the coup but deny they are violent. After a bloody dispersal of their major sit-ins earlier this month, however, some retaliated by attacking police stations, government buildings and churches.

In Sinai, violence has only worsened since Morsi’s overthrow.

The militant arrested there Saturday is suspected of leading an al-Qaidalinked group in an ambush where 25 off-duty policemen were lined up and shot last week, security officials said. The attack was one of the area’s worst militant strikes on security forces.

The man, Adel Mohammed, also known as Adel Habara according to one official, has already been sentenced to death in absentia for killing soldiers in the Nile Delta last year.

Habara’s arrest could potentially undermine militant activities in the area, where over two dozen security men have

been killed alone since July. The security official said two other suspects were arrested along with Habara.

Authorities have been engaged in a long-running battle against militants in the northern half of the strategic region, which borders the Gaza Strip and Israel.

Earlier Saturday, security officials said 31 suspected militants have been arrested since Thursday, including two caught seeking treatment for wounds sustained in clashes with police.

In other violence nearby, a riot police officer was shot in the chest Friday while on patrol in the city of El-Arish, the capital of North Sinai governorate, the Interior Ministry said Saturday.

According to one security official, four militants have also been killed since Thursday. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Since the ouster of Morsi, his supporters have been organizing regular protests calling for his return. Several thousand took to the streets on Friday in scattered protests in different parts of Egypt, though demonstrations have largely waned in recent days.

In a sign authorities are responding to the easing of the pro-Morsi rallies, the government once again shortened a military-imposed curfew by two hours, making the evening lock-up in nearly a dozen Egyptian provinces only seven hours.

However, the full 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew will remain in place for Fridays, when supporters of Morsi usually organize large rallies. Hundreds of his supporters, including leading Brotherhood members, have been arrested in a crackdown on the group.

On Saturday, authorities arrested another top figure from the Brotherhood in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria. Former lawmaker Sobhi Saleh was taken into custody on charges of inciting violence and disrupting public order, according to security officials.

The son of another Brotherhood figure, Saad Emara, was also detained and ordered held for 15 days, pending investigations for charges of inciting violence.

Also on Saturday, Health Ministry spokesman Khaled el-Khateeb raised the death toll in violence during Friday’s pro-Morsi protests in several cities to eight. El-Khateeb said 221 were also injured — most of them in clashes between Morsi supporters and local residents.

Those killed on Friday included one police officer and one civilian shot dead in a drive-by shooting targeting a police station in an upscale neighborhood of Cairo.

Walker to be posthumously inducted into Trojan Athletics Hall of Fame DAVID FONG Executive Editor

John Terwilliger just wanted to go home.

Randy Walker had other ideas, however.

It was 1971 and Terwilliger — then an assistant football coach at Troy High School — had just supervised one of the Trojans’ team workouts.

Before he could lock up and go home, however, he had to clear out the weightroom.

Not an easy task when Walker was in there.

“He was a kid that kept you there,” Terwilliger said in a June 2006 interview just days after Walker — a Troy High School graduate and the former Northwestern University coach died of a heart attack at age 52. “When you wanted to go home, he was the kid who said, ‘C’mon, let me see if I can do this one more time.’ That’s just the type of k he was.

“As a coach, you want to impact the lives of young people and make an impression on them. Randy was the reverse of that. When all was said and done, he impacted the coaches as much as we impacted him. He was just a very honest, very hard-working kid.”

It was that type of work ethic and dedication that made Walker a star at every level of football he participated in — from his playing days at Troy and Miami University through his college coaching stops at Miami and, finally, Northwestern University.

It’s also the type of work ethic that earned Walker a posthumous induction into the inaugural class of the Trojan Athletics Hall of Fame.

Those who knew him at Troy remember Walker as a tireless worker who never settled for anything less than perfectionfrom himself, his teammates and the players he coached.

In this 2004 file photo, Troy High School graduate Randy Walker coaches a game at Northwestern University. Walker is a member of the inaugural class of the Trojan Athletics Hall of Fame.

A fight to the end East outlasts Troy, 3-1 JOSH BROWN Sports Editor

CASSTOWN — When Miami East’s Sam Cash jumped all over a clean Troy set that just found its way too close to the net and blasted it down for a kill and give the Vikings a huge Game 3 lead, it could have broke the Trojans’ backs.

When Troy’s Jillian Ross found a crack in the Miami East defense to tie the Game 4 score at 18-18, with seemingly giving the Trojans the momentum they would need to force a fifth game, the Vikings could have backed down and taken their chances in the final set.

Both teams showed they have nothing but fight in them Saturday. One just started the day stronger.

Miami East didn’t let Troy get anything going in a dominant first set, and even though the Trojans began to wake up in the second, the Vikings still went up 2-0. Troy came roaring back and closed out Game 3 on a 6-0 run, but Miami East won seven of the final eight points in Game 4 to close out a 25-14, 25-18, 24-26, 25-19 victory, their third straight over the inter-county rival Trojans.

Photo courtesy Lee Woolery/Speedshot Photo “What our girls learned today is that they have fight in them,” Troy coach Michelle Miami East’s Sam Cash sets the ball for a teammate during Owen said. “We didn’t give up, not even at the Saturday’s match against Troy at Miami East High School. end of Game 4 when they went on their run.

But they also learned that when you’re playing a great team that’s well-coached and plays great defense, you can’t start slow.

“That’s something we have to remember Tuesday. Because Lebanon’s a great team that’s well-coached and plays great defense.”

In the first game, though, it was Miami East’s (3-2) offense that gave Troy fits, as the Trojans couldn’t handle the serves and set up any kind of counterattack.

“We knew whoever served more aggressively today would come out on top,” Miami East coach John Cash said. “And I don’t think they expected us to come at them quite like that. Our ball control was better than it’s been today, too. It’s still not where we want it, but it was better.

“With all that said, my girls haven’t played at that speed or efficiency all year. Troy is a really good team, they play stingy defense and have effective middles.”

“You can’t have Game 1 be 25-14 and expect to beat a team in four or five,” Owen said. “And I don’t think we’ve won more than two matches from down 0-2 since I’ve been coach.”

The Trojans did pick it up in the second game, coming as close as three points at 21-18, but Cash (10 kills, 17 assists, 12 digs, two aces) had three kills in the last four points to close that game out.

Trojans 15th at Lebanon

Tipp sweeps Treaty Staff Reports

LEBANON — The Troy Trojans knew what to expect from themselves Saturday.

The Gentleman of the Road tour affects the sports world, too.

After a late night on Friday at a once-in-a-lifetime event — and with some intense heat affecting the whole field — the Trojans were 15th out of 23 teams at the Lebanon Warrior Cross Country Invitational Saturday.

Natlie Snyder was 56th (22:17), Morgan Cockerham was 71st (22:43), Megan Falknor was 81st (23:01), Courtney Burgasser was 94th (23:34), Cristina Dennison was 98th (23:46) and Lindsay Smith was 100th (23:49).

“It looked as though many of the girls got their fill of the Gentleman of the Road festivities last night, as they ran flat as pancakes this morning,” Troy girls coach Kevin Alexander said. “Morgan rebounded from a sub-par performance last weekend and ran an intelligent and tactical race today.”

But none of it was unexpected.

“I am glad that the Mumford and Sons show is the last weekend in August instead of later on in the season,” Alexander said. “So ‘I will wait, I will wait for’ … the girls to race faster next weekend.”

Chasing perfection Buckeyes roll early, hang on to beat Bulls

Jones leads No. 1 ‘Bama to big win Christion Jones became the first Alabama player since at least the 1940s to have two returns for touchdowns, Vinnie Sunseri brought back an interception for another TD, and the top-ranked Crimson Tide overcame a sluggish offensive performance to beat Virginia Tech 35-10 on Saturday.

See Page 10

COLUMBUS (AP) — Urban Meyer is a perfectionist.

His second-ranked Ohio State team was less than perfect.

Braxton Miller threw two touchdown passes before fighting leg cramps and Jordan Hall ran for two more scores to lead the Buckeyes to a 40-20 victory over Buffalo on Saturday in the season opener for both teams.

“I preached all week about coming out fast and playing hard, and they did it. Two quick scores, the first quarter (went by the) script. You can’t play much better than our guys did,” Meyer said. “And then we rough a punter, and we have a fourth down (play) we don’t make and then we throw a screen and it goes the other way. In a tight game, you’re going to lose.”

The Buckeyes, striving for a crisper start after a lethargic outing in Meyer’s debut in 2012, led 23-0 after the first quarter before the Bulls made things interesting.

Joe Licata threw two TD passes and linebacker Kahlil Mack returned a Miller interception 45 yards to make it 30-20 in the third quarter.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM

Opposing issues Troy offense and defense flipped from a year ago

BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor dfong@civitasmedia.com TROY — One year ago, the Troy football team watched its defense turn in lights-out performances week after week while the offense struggled to put points on the board.

One year later, the problem is exactly the opposite.

In the season opener against Chaminade Julienne Thursday at Wayne High School’s Heidkamp Stadium, Troy’s offense rolled up 398 yards in total offense — and had two running back rush for more than 100 yards apience — and 20 points, but the defense simply had no answers for CJ quarterback Jacob Harrison, who completed 17 of 21 passes for 211 yards and three touchdowns as the Eagles rolled to a 34-20 win.

“We knew we’d be able to move the ball this season — but with only two starters coming back on offense, we knew we might have trouble stopping people,” Troy coach Scot Brewer said. “We saw that (Thursday night). We need to get our defense off the field.”

And with Springfield Shawnee coming to town Friday for Troy’s home opener, Troy had better figure out a way to do it quickly.

First, however, some final notes from Troy’s 3420 loss to Chaminade Julienne: • Player of the Game Between his 118 rushing yards and several long kickoff returns, Troy senior Miles Hibbler rolled up nearly 200 all-purpose yards. One thing the Trojans will have to watch, however, is how much they use Hibbler this season — particularly until the weather cools off.

Hibbler had to leave the game with leg cramps late

Troy’s Andrew Kostecka (60) clears the way for Miles Hibbler (5) Thursday night against Chaminade Julienne at Wayne High School. in the game and was limited to one carry in the second half.

• Unsung Hero of the Game Trojan senior Seth Overla barely left the field Thursday. He played both defensive end and tight end for the Trojans. He recorded a sack and caused a fumble on defense and had a reception on offense. As one of only two returning starters from last season, Troy will lean heavily on the steady Overla all season long.

• Play of the Game With Troy leading 7-0 and apparently driving for another score, Chaminade’s defense jarred the ball lose from Hibbler and Eagle linebacker Juleon Elmore scooped it up at the Trojan 25 and returned it 75 yards for a touchdown.

Not only was it a huge swing in momentum, but

Trojan offense and defensive lineman Andrew Kostecka suffered an ankle injury on the play and didn’t return to the game. If Kostecka is forced to miss additional time, it will be a huge blow for the Trojans.

• What We Learned Troy — which allowed 14 points or less three teams last season and lost all three games — definitely can move the ball this season. Quarterback Matt Barr looked sharp Thursday, while Hibbler and junior tailback Brandon Lee provide a nice change of pace. Troy’s offense line — which features two new starters at guard — opened holes for Hibbler and Lee to run through all night.

Troy’s defense, however, struggled with lack of experience and depth.

Troy’s entire defensive line was composed of starting offensive line-

men. All its linebackers had never started at that position before. The linebacking corps got even thinner when starting inside linebacker Anthony Shoop suffered an apparent broken leg.

• What Happens Now Troy will have to figure out a way, somehow, to put health bodies on the field.

That will be the No. 1 concern this week. The Trojans could be missing as many as three starters going into Friday’s game with Shawnee — which, with so many starters going both ways — really translates into six missing starters.

If Troy can hold onto the ball — Troy took three three potential touchdowns off the board with fumbles in the red zone — and stay healthy, all is not lost. Troy showed plenty of good things in Thursday’s game and has plenty build on moving forward.

A milestone night TC wins in return, East tops M-U for 1st time since 2001

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com

A team returning from the ashes.

Another team winning a rivalry game for the first time in more than a decade.

Yet another making a statement against a traditionally-powerful MAC team.

The first week of high school football was full of drama, excitement, suspense — and fun.

Well, for most. Graham certainly didn’t have any fun in Tipp City, as the Tippecanoe Red Devils had their way with Falcons 68-0 to open the season. The seniorheavy Devils posted 41 points before halftime and piled up 425 yards of offense in the game.

Senior workhorse Jacob Hall did most of that damage, carrying the ball 19 times for 184 yards and three touchdowns. Cameron Johnson added 51 yards and a pair of scores and Ben Hughes was 5 for 8 for 78 yards and two more touchdowns.

The Tippecanoe defense, meanwhile, allowed only 66 yards of total offense, picked off a pass and forced six Graham fumbles, recovering five of them.

The Troy Christian Eagles had an extra year’s worth of rust to shake off after not fielding a football team at all last season. But they also created the most preseason buzz by hiring former Troy High School coach Steve Nolan to head up their comeback — and after one half of play on Friday night, his influence was readily visible. The Eagles, trailing 9-0 at the half, scored 22 unanswered points, forced six turnovers on defense and held on for a 2211 win.

runs and racked up 225 yards of total offense in Troy Christian’s wing-T attack.

Miami East defeated Milton-Union in its season opener for the first time since a double-overtime victory in 2001, with Colton McKinney scoring the game-winning touchdown on a 19-yard run with 10:58 left to play to give the Vikings an 18-14 lead that they would not relinquish.

Senior Michael Fellers also drove home a 42-yard field goal in the game.

The Covington Buccaneers, meanwhile, had a big first half against St. Henry, knocking the muchhyped team off of its pedestal with a 35-21 victory. A.J. Ouellette ran for a pair of touchdowns, while Jared Williams ran for one and caught another. And while the Bucc defense gave up an uncharacteristic 301 yards of offense, the Redskins simply couldn’t get into the end zone regularly until the Buccs subbed.

Piqua also won its first game of the year at Toledo Rogers — despite both teams combining for 235 penalty yards, as well as lightning cutting the game short.

Bethel, Bradford and CIVITAS MEDIA PHOTO/AMANDA ULLERY Lehman, meanwhile, will both be in search of their first Miami East’s Michael Fellers carries the ball Friday wins of the season in Week 2. against Milton-Union.

It’s good to be No. 1

Christion Jones leads top-ranked ‘Bama ATLANTA (AP) — Christion Jones became the first Alabama player since at least the 1940s to have two returns for touchdowns, Vinnie Sunseri brought back an interception for another TD, and the top-ranked Crimson Tide overcame a sluggish offensive performance to beat Virginia Tech 35-10 on Saturday.

Jones scored on a 72-yard punt return less than 2 minutes into the game, then scooted loose on a kickoff for a 94-yard touchdown that led the Crimson Tide (1-0) to a win that could’ve been much tougher to start its quest for an unprecedented third straight national title.

For good measure, the junior receiver also hauled in a 38-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter to blow it open against the Hokies (0-1), who largely shut down AJ McCarron and Alabama’s highly touted offense.

The Tide had just 97 yards total offense at halftime but were up 28-10. McCarron & Co. contributed only one of those TDs, and that came when they worked with a short field after a wobbly Virginia Tech punt.

Sunseri stymied a brief bit of momentum Virginia Tech had after Trey Edmunds broke off a 77-yard touchdown run, cutting Alabama’s early lead to 14-7. The Hokies held on defense, but Logan Thomas telegraphed a pass over the middle, Sunseri stepped in to make the pick and, without breaking stride, took it all the way to the end zone for a 38-yard touchdown.

Virginia Tech’s last glimmer of hope faded after Cody Journell booted a 39-yard field goal late in the first half. On the ensuing kickoff, Jones appeared to be stopped short of his own 30. Then, suddenly, he burst out from a pack of would-be tacklers and was gone. The return left Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer — whose program was long known for its stellar special teams — waving his cap and shaking his head in disgust.

Alabama finally put together an impressive offensive series late in the third quarter, capped by McCarron’s scoring pass to Jones. Still, the Tide managed just 206 yards on offense, far shy of its 445.5yard average last season.

McCarron was photographed arriving in Atlanta wearing a boot on his right foot, reportedly because of an ingrown toenail, and he looked a bit off after being the nation’s top-rated passer last season. There was an interception — he had only three all of last season — and also a penalty for intentional grounding. He finished 10-of-23 for 110 yards.

T.J. Yeldon rushed for 75 yards on 17 carries, but the Tide finished with just 96 yards on the ground.

While the Tide has no shortage of offensive skill players, the line lost three starters from last year’s championship team.

Apparently, there’s still some work to do in the trenches, which coach Nick Saban will surely focus on over the next two weeks before Alabama heads to College Station to face the new Southeastern Conference rival that provided its lone loss of 2012 — Texas A&M and Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel.

No. 3 Oregon 66, Nicholls 3 EUGENE, Ore. — Marcus Mariota threw a touchdown pass and ran for two additional scores and the Oregon Ducks made easy work of lowertier Nicholls.

Mariota, who set an Oregon record with 38 touchdowns last season as a redshirt freshman, completed 12 of 21 passes for 234 yards before sit-

ting after the third quarter when the Ducks had built a 45-3 lead.

Mariota also ran for 113 yards for his second career game with more than 100 yards rushing.

De’Anthony Thomas ran for 128 yards and two more touchdowns for Oregon in the debut of new head coach Mark Helfrich.

Helfrich, the team’s former offensive coordinator, was promoted when Chip Kelly left the Ducks in January for the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles.

No. 7 Texas A&M 52, RICE 31 COLLEGE STATION, Texas — After serving his first-half suspension, Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel threw three TD passes and scrambled for 19 yards — ran his mouth a bit, too — as Texas A&M posted a lopsided win over Rice.

Manziel was sitting out because of what the school said was an “inadvertent” violation of NCAA rules involving signing autographs.

His first touchdown came on a 23-yard pass to Mike Evans on A&M’s second drive of the half.

Shortly before that, he got into it with a Rice defender, appearing to mimic signing an autograph while getting up from a tackle. He ended his day by getting yanked following an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for pointing at the scoreboard after a TD pass in the fourth quarter.

He was replaced by Matt Joeckel on A&M’s last drive.

No. 10 Florida 24, Toledo 6 GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Mack Brown had a career day, Jeff Driskel was efficient and Florida opened the season with a victory over Toledo.

Brown ran 25 times for 112 yards and two touchdowns. Driskel completed 17 of 22 passes for 153 yards and a score. And Florida’s defense, which ranked fifth in the country in 2012, looked every bit as good as last year’s version despite losing eight starters and its coordinator.

The Gators controlled both lines of scrimmage, opening holes for Brown and keeping steady pressure on Toledo’s experienced spread offense. It was exactly the style of play Florida has become known for under third-year coach Will Muschamp. No flashiness. Few highlightreel plays. But a win in the end.

It was Florida’s 24th consecutive season-opening victory, the second-longest active streak in the country. Only Nebraska (27) has a longer current run.

No. 13 Okl. St 21, Mississippi St. 3 HOUSTON — J.W. Walsh threw for 135 yards and ran for another 125 and a touchdown to lead the Oklahoma State

Cowboys to a win over the Mississippi State in the Texas Kickoff.

Walsh finished 18 of 27 after relieving starter Clint Chelf on the Cowboys’ third series. Jeremy Smith rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries for Oklahoma State (1-0), which piled up 432 yards on offense after struggling for most of the first half.

Tyler Russell 10 of 16 for 133 yards before being helped off the field and taken to the locker room in the third quarter after being brought down on a scramble. Dak Prescott replaced Russell, throwing for 89 yards on seven of 17 passing.

LaDarius Perkins rushed for 50 yards on 16 carries and caught three passes for 52 yards for the Bulldogs (0-1).

No. 14 ND 28, Temple 6 SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Tommy Rees threw a pair of 32-yard touchdown passes to DaVaris Daniels, a 66-yard scoring pass to Troy Niklas and Notre Dame had three quick scoring drives en route to a victory over Temple.

The 14th-ranked Irish jumped to a 14-0 lead on a pair of three-play drives on its opening two possessions and appeared headed for a blowout. But when the Notre Dame offense stalled, Temple squandered a pair of scoring chances, with Jim Cooper Jr. missing a pair of field goals. An unsettled feeling settled in at Notre Dame Stadium when Kenny Harper scored on a 1-yard run to cut the lead to 14-6.

The Irish regained control, however, with Niklas’ TD with 43 seconds left in the half.

The victory by the Irish (1-0) was the 200th career win for coach Brian Kelly.

The Owls (0-1) fell to 2-76 all-time against ranked opponents.

No. 17 Mich. 59, C. Michigan 9 ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Devin Gardner ran for two touchdowns and threw for another in the first half as Michigan went on to beat Central Michigan.

It was the highestscoring opener for the Wolverines (1-0) since 1905, when they beat Ohio Wesleyan 65-0. They will face a tougher test against No. 14 Notre Dame next week at home in a primetime game.

The Chippewas (0-1) fell behind 35-6 at halftime Saturday. After they gave up five straight TDs, Ron Coluzzi’s third field goal made it 56-9 with 3:12 left in the game.

Gardner was 10 of 15 for 162 yards with a 16-yard TD pass to Jeremy Gallon and two interceptions. He ran for a 22-yard score midway through the first quarter when Michigan led by just four points and had a 4-yard TD on the ground late in the first half.

Legaux leads UC over Purdue CINCINNATI (AP) — Munchie Legaux couldn’t revel in his successful return as Cincinnati’s starting quarterback. One win wasn’t enough to keep the job.

With incumbent Brendon Kay limited by a sore passing shoulder, Legaux got to start the Bearcats’ opener and had a solid showing. He threw for a touchdown and ran for another Saturday in a 42-7 victory over Purdue, which took its worst opening loss in 17 years.

Afterward, Legaux was more concerned about his two interceptions — one off a tipped pass, the other in the end zone.

“I had two bad throws,” Legaux said. “I played OK.” Just OK? Legaux wouldn’t give himself a better grade, given what’s at stake. Coach Tommy Tuberville said after the game that the job is open to competition.

“You could lose your spot every week,” Legaux said.

Legaux’s dual-threat performance highlighted a game featuring two new coaches and a new league — Cincinnati (1-0) in the American Athletic Conference. The Bearcats celebrated all the newness by introducing all-white uniforms and helmets for their first time on the field under Tuberville, who came from Texas Tech to replace Butch Jones.

Legaux was back at quarterback because of Kay’s sore shoulder.

Given a second chance, he played one of his best games before a crowd of 36,007, the biggest ever at Nippert Stadium.

The senior was 13 of 20 for 146 yards with a touchdown and an interception. He also ran six times for 55 yards and a touchdown.

“Munchie is very good in the pro-style offense,” Tuberville said. “This is

the first game running a totally new offense, and we put up a lot of points against a Big Ten team.”

A struggling Big Ten team.

Purdue (0-1) got a whole new offense under Darrell Hazell, who came from Kent State to try to get the Boilermakers moving up in the Big Ten. The first time out, the offense couldn’t get out of its own way.

It was Purdue’s worst season opener since a 52-14 loss at Michigan State in 1996.

“It was a rough start,” Hazell said. “We didn’t execute in all phases. We understand there is a lot to be done.”

The Boilermakers had false-start penalties and a delay of game. Fifth-year quarterback Rob Henry got run over by a pulling guard, causing a fumble.

One time, Henry turned to hand the ball off and there was no one there with open arms. Another time, he fumbled the snap and had to fall on it.

Then there was his severe overthrow to Shane Mikesky that Adrian Witty ran back 41 yards for a touchdown that made it 28-7 midway through the third quarter.

The Boilermakers’ only touchdown was set up by a fumbled punt.

Oops.

“I didn’t play anywhere close to where I need to play,” said Henry, who was 18 of 35 for 161 yards with two interceptions. “We had a lot of communication problems, like coach said. I take responsibility for that.

This offense isn’t easy.”

By contrast, Legaux was smooth in his second season opener.

The Louisiana quarterback with the distinctive nickname and dreadlocks looked a lot different this time. The dreadlocks are gone. So was his penchant for missing open receivers and forcing

throws. His first pass was tipped and intercepted, but things got much better from there.

The dual-threat quarterback picked his spots to run and completed a lot of short throws that prolonged drives. He went 10 yards on a draw for Cincinnati’s first touchdown, then led a 75-yard drive that closed the half and gave Cincinnati the lead. He ran 32 yards on another keeper, and threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to tight end Blake Annen with 17 seconds left in the half for a 14-7 lead.

Early in the third quarter, he completed the type of pass he often missed last season. He hit Max Morrison in stride on a crossing route, setting up a 40-yard gain. Ralph David Abernathy IV spun out of Ryan Watson’s tackle attempt and went the final 3 yards for a 21-7 lead.

Legaux lost his job to Kay midway through last season because of his low completion percentage and his penchant for interceptions. Kay was the incumbent starter until his passing shoulder acted up during camp, giving Legaux another chance to start.

Tuberville said the coaches felt more comfortable with Legaux for the opener because he’d run the offense in the past week because of Kay’s sore shoulder. He said Kay was about 90 percent healthy, and the job is open.

“We could very well start another quarterback next week,” he said.

Kay got into the game late in the third quarter for a series that ended with Hosey Williams bouncing outside on a fourth-and-1 play and going 30 yards for a touchdown that made it 35-7 early in the fourth quarter. Kay finished the game and was 4 of 5 for 59 yards.

Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller drops back to pass against Buffalo during the second quarter Saturday in Columbus.

A crowd of 103,980 didn’t know what to think.

But after Miller was sidelined a second time with cramps, sub Kenny Guiton promptly tossed a 21-yard touchdown pass to Chris Fields and the Buckeyes were never threatened again.

“After we created a little momentum going our way, then all of a sudden — BAM! — they’re right back in the end zone,” Bulls coach Jeff Quinn said. “That’s the mark of a good football team.”

Licata completed 19 of 32 passes for 185 yards and two scores with one interception, with Branden Oliver gaining 73 yards on 26 carries for the Bulls, who were playing Ohio State for the first time.

“If you’re looking for a moral victory, that means you lost the game,” Licata said. “No, we don’t feel good about losing.”

Ohio State was in control after its first three possessions. Miller, who was 15 of 22 passing for 178 yards and also ran for 77 yards on 17 attempts, hit Devin Smith on a 47-yard scoring pass on the fourth offensive play of the season. Then he found Fields on a 7-yard scoring pass.

As good as that first 15 minutes was — 216 yards of offense, a big lead and Buffalo looking thoroughly defeated — the Bulls were far from dead.

The Buckeyes, who had 10 new starters on defense to start the game, missed a punt block and roughed the punter, then failed on a Hall run on fourth and 1 near midfield. Meyer chewed out his offensive line when it returned to the bench.

After Ron Tanner picked off a tipped Licata pass for Ohio State, speedy freshman tailback Dontre Wilson gave it right back on the next play when he was hit by linebacker Blake Bean and Buffalo’s Derek Brim recovered.

The always expressive Meyer hung his head on the sideline.

Licata needed just three plays to cover the 44 yards, hitting three consecutive passes with help on a late hit against Ohio State cornerback Armani Reeves. Reeves was starting in place of All-Big Ten standout Bradley Roby, suspended for the opener after a bar skirmish in Bloomington, Ind., in July. The Buckeyes were also without starting tailback and 2012 leading scorer Carlos Hyde (listed

as a person of interest in an alleged assault against a female) and his backup, Rod Smith (who sat out due to an unspecified violation of team rules).

Licata flipped a pass over the middle to tight end Matt Weiser, who rumbled into the end zone from 16 yards out.

Four plays later, Miller tossed a short pass directly to the Bulls’ Mack, considered one of the top linebackers in the nation, and he outran intended receiver Wilson into the end zone to make it 23-13.

“We was rolling at first,” Miller said. “(With) that screen, that blind throw I threw, the momentum went down and shifted a little bit.”

Wilson redeemed himself for the turnover by taking the kickoff back 51 yards. On first down, Hall bolted through another massive hole at left tackle and there was nobody on the second level to stop him as he raced 37 yards.

Buffalo threatened again in the third quarter, with Licata hitting Alex Neutz on a 10-yard scoring pass, cutting the lead to 30-20.

The next series was almost a disaster for the Buckeyes.

Miller went down without being tackled and left the field, causing some concern before it was determined he had cramps. He returned a play later only to be sacked by Mack and then fumbling at his own 1.

But Mack was called for a hands-to-the-facemask penalty which nullified the turnover and instead gave the Buckeyes a first down at their 37.

“That turnover would have changed the game,” Mack said. “That was a blow. A big blow.”

Bulldogs 2nd at Schroeder Staff Reports

Milton-Union finished second at the Bud Schroeder Invitational Saturday at the Schroeder Tennis Center in Tipp City.

The Bulldogs came up just short, losing to Carroll, which scored 33 compared to their 32.

At first singles, M-U’s Brooke Falb defeated Gracyn Leep 8-0 and downed St. Mary’s Anna Ernst 8-0 in the next round. Falb, however, lost to Carroll’s Jillian Milano in the finals by a score of 8-0. At second singles, Jesica Ferguson defeated Shelby Linder 8-0, then beat Kenton Ridge’s Brittanie Higgins 8-1. She went on to lose in the finals to Tye Arnold of Carroll by a count of 8-5.

At third singles, Sarah Black defeated Northwestern’s Amanda Smith 8-5, then beat Celina’s Brooke Sutter, 84. She lost to Carroll’s Tye Arnold in the finals by a count of 8-2.

At first doubles, the team of Claire Fetters and Lizzie Fetters defeated Catholic Central’s team of Emily Watton and Toni McFadden 8-1, then beat Ashley Wallace and Carlie Castiaux in the semis, 8-2.

The Fetters’ team lost to Northwestern’s team of Brittany Hart and Ellen Snyder in the finals by a score of 8-1.

At second doubles, Maggie Gooslin and Ashley Wombold lost to Northwestern’s Allison Snyder and Hannah Frasco 8-2, then defeated Alaina Egolf and Mary Beth Marlin of Wayne 9-7.

Gooslin and Wombold beat Jenna Perry and Bailey Rust 8-1 for a fifth-place finish.

“The best team won the tournament,” MiltonUnion coach Sharon Paul said. “We have played Carroll already in a dual match, and we can’t seem to win a singles point. So even though we are a little stronger in doubles, they are still the better team.

We had our chances. It was a good tournament and gave us a chance to see some teams that we don’t play during the season.”

Devils 5th at LCC Staff Reports

The Tippecanoe girls finished fifth out of 17 teams at the LCC Invitational Saturday.

The Red Devils scored 375 points and finished behind Toledo St. Ursula, Centerville, Ursuline Academy Cincinnati and Pickerington North.

Lindsey Murray led Tipp with a 70, Erika Brownlee had an 85, Ally Chitwood finished with a 92, Tori Merrick shot a 98 and Sammie Rowland added a 105. Tipp’s Chloe Woodworth added a 131 .

Tipp will look to remain undefeated in Central Buckeye Conference action next week against Shawnee at Reid.

Isner exits in US Open’s 3rd round; 1 US man left NEW YORK (AP) — Trying to extend his stay at the U.S. Open, John Isner smacked a return winner, then pointed his right index finger toward the Louis Armstrong Stadium stands and circled his arm overhead, riling up the fans.

Two points later, sprinting so far he nearly reached the seats, Isner hit a forehand that closed a point, punched the air and then shook his fists, doing his best Jimmy Connors imitation.

Minutes after that, Isner cupped his hand to his ear, basking in the chants of “U-S-A! U-S-A!” The highest-ranked American man finally heard the adulation he’d been hoping for a couple of days earlier, when he lamented that so many spectators cheered so vociferously for his French opponent. What the 13th-seeded Isner failed to do in return Saturday was deliver a victory in the third round at Flushing Meadows, meaning only one U.S. man remains of the 15 in the field.

Isner even blamed those exuberant attempts to stir the crowd for his struggles down the stretch of a 6-4, 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 (5) loss to 22nd-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany.

“I felt like I wore myself out getting charged up out there,” Isner said after bowing out against Kohlschreiber in New York for the second consecutive year. “I used too much energy, and I shouldn’t have done that. It was stupid on my part. So I was pretty gassed there. Had I kept it calm, I think I could still be out there right now.”

The other American man in action Saturday, 20-year-old Jack Sock, was beaten 3-6, 7-6 (1), 6-1, 6-2 by No. 18 Janko Tipsarevic of Serbia.

So the last man from the United States left is Tim Smyczek, a 25-year-old from Milwaukee who got into the main draw thanks to a wild-card invitation from the U.S. Tennis Association and plays 43rdranked Marcel Granollers of Spain in the third round Sunday. If Smyczek loses — a distinct possibility, considering he’s ranked 109th and never before even made it past the second round at Grand Slam tournament — it will be the first

time with zero U.S. men in the round of 16 at the country’s tennis championship, which was first played in 1881.

“I don’t care,” said Isner, who doublefaulted to get broken in the last game of the third set, then was broken again while serving for the fourth. “I’m going to watch football for a while. That’s all I care about.”

A loss by Smyczek also would make 2013 the first season with no Americans in the second week of any of the four major tournaments.

Even if Smyczek wins, it still would be only the second time there was just one American in the fourth round at the U.S. Open. The other? In 2009, when Isner was the lone one in the second week.

All part of the recent decline of American men’s tennis.

At Wimbledon this year, for example, no men from the United States even got to the third round. That hadn’t happened since 1912 — when no Americans entered the tournament.

Then came this news: The ATP rankings of Aug. 12 did not contain a single U.S. representative in the top 20. Never

“When we first started the weightlifting program, there were three levels you could attain, based on the standards you were able to achieve,” said Troy resident and former teammate Tim Pierce in a June 2006 interview following Walker’s death. “There was the Trojan Club, The Sam Huff Club — one of our coaches, Barry Blackstone, was a big Sam Huff and West Virginia fan — and the Helmet Club.

“A lot of us made the Trojan Club. Some of us made the Sam Huff Club.

Randy was the one person who made the Helmet Club. He was the only one. It was just something that he set his mind toward doing — he wanted to attain all the standards he needed to to make that club. Really, it’s pretty impressive, considering some of the guys we had in that club — guys like (Dave) Starkey and Gordon Bell.”

Pierce remembers that drive taking Walker a long way — probably further than his natural ability would have dictated.

“He almost got cut in junior high,” Pierce said.

“He was kind of short and fat. But he worked harder than anybody else. I know whenever he talked to kids, that’s something he always made sure he told them — if they worked hard, good things would happen. Just look at him.”

Walker went from being almost cut in junior high to being a star for the Troy powerhouses of the early-’70s.

The Trojans went undefeated his junior and senior seasons and — in an era that preceded postseason play — were gen-

in the 40 years of men’s rankings had that been the case.

This edition of the U.S. Open is the 40th Grand Slam tournament since an American man won one of the sport’s four most prestigious titles, a record drought that dates to Andy Roddick’s 2003 championship in New York. That sort of gap used to be unimaginable for the nation of Bill Tilden and Don Budge, John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors, Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi.

“Well, what shall I say? I think, yeah, it’s bad luck,” said Kohlschreiber, whose next opponent is 12-time major champion Rafael Nadal, a straight-set winner Saturday. “For sure, it’s not great for the American history not to have a player in the second week. But you had so many good years.”

There’s a trio of Americans in the women’s fourth round, because wildcard entry Alison Riske, who is ranked only 81st, eliminated 2011 Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova 6-3, 6-0. The seventh-seeded Kvitova got her blood pressure checked by a trainer, then said afterward she had a virus and a fever.

“I’ve got a new confidence in myself,” said Riske, a 23-year-old from Pittsburgh who is now based in College Park, Md. “I believe that I belong here.”

There’s no doubt the other two U.S. women who are left belong: No. 1 Serena Williams and No. 15 Sloane Stephens play each other Sunday with a quarterfinal berth on the line. Williams is seeking a fifth U.S. Open title and 17th Grand Slam singles trophy overall.

Stephens is one of only three women to reach the round of 16 at every major tournament this year, and she beat Williams en route to the Australian Open semifinals.

Riske next faces Daniela Hantuchova, while other fourth-rounders set up Saturday are two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka against 2008 French Open champion Ana Ivanovic, No. 10 Roberta Vinci against unseeded Camila Giorgi in an all-Italian match, and No. 21 Simona Halep against Flavia Pennetta. The 136thranked Giorgi defeated 2009 U.S. Open runner-up Caroline Wozniacki, who was seeded sixth, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 at night.

The final match on the day’s schedule was 17-time major champion Roger Federer against 63rd-ranked Adrian Mannarino of France. The winner will face No. 19 Tommy Robredo of Spain, who ended the run of 179th-ranked qualifier Daniel Evans of Britain 7-6 (6), 6-1, 4-6, 7-5.

Other men reaching the fourth round: No. 4 David Ferrer of Spain, No. 8 Richard Gasquet of France, and No. 10 Milos Raonic of Canada.

Raonic, the highest-ranked man in Canada’s history, does not need to worry about the same kind of expectations that players such as Isner do.

“The relief, definitely, is there is obviously a lot more pressure on Americans,” Raonic said. “I’m sort of doing a lot of stuff into unchartered territories, so people are very supportive of it, whereas I feel it’s a little bit unfair to the American players. Everybody is expecting Pete and Agassi to be there on the top.”

erally regarded as one of the top teams in the state.

After graduating from Troy, Walker took his considerable football talents to Miami University.

By his senior season at Miami, Walker — who played three different positions for the Redskins (now RedHawks) that year — earned team MVP honors and was an All-MidAmerican Conference second team running back selection. For his career, Walker rushed for 1,757 yards on 417 carries, then the sixth-highest total in school history.

He was drafted in the 13th round by the Cincinnati Bengals and played sparingly in the preseason. It was after he returned to Miami as a graduate assistant coach that his coaching career began to flourish.

After his first stop at Miami, he took assistant positions at North Carolina and Northwestern from 197789.

In 1990, he became head coach at his alma mater, a position he would hold until 1998.

During his time with the RedHawks, Walker compiled a record of 59-35-5 (.621), a mark that made him the winningest coach in school history.

In 1999, Walker was named head coach at Northwestern. Walker was the first Northwestern coach to lead the school to three bowl games.

Walker’s Wildcats won 37 games, going 7-5 in his final season. He led the Northwestern shared the Big Ten title in 2000 and went to the Alamo Bowl.

The Wildcats also went to the 2003 Motor City Bowl. dfong@civitasmedia.com

Troy went up 9-4 early in the third game, but the Vikings went on two separate six-point runs — one of which included Cash’s interception-for-a-kill that could have demoralized the Trojans — and the Vikings were up 16-10 and looking to close the match out.

But Ross (12 kills, four blocks) had a string of three kills and Lauren Freed (11 kills, three aces, 22 digs, one block) had an ace to get the Trojans back into it, and following a Troy service error that made the score 24-20 Photo courtesy Lee Woolery/Speedshot Photo East, the Vikings had four errors, Leslie Miami East libero Anna Kiesewetter passes the ball Saturday straight Wynkoop (30 assists, one ace, against Troy.

12 digs) had an ace and Emily Moser (nine kills, 17 digs, one ace, one block) put down a big kill to close out the game and keep Troy alive.

One of the biggest reasons for Troy’s turnaround? The return of injured libero Abby Brinkman.

“She played ball today,” Owen said of the senior, who had 20 digs in her first action of the season. “She struggled a little doing serve-receive reps in practice this week, so we kept her out at the beginning. But then we struggled with our serve receive at the beginning, so I threw her in and she did great. Stat-wise, she had the highest receive percentage on the team today.”

But Miami East can play defense, too, and even though Troy tied Game 4 18-18, the Vikings were able to stretch a pair of points out and work Troy into errors, then Allison Morrett (four kills, 11 assists, three aces, nine digs, one block) had all three of her aces during a six-point run that took the score to 24-18.

Troy’s Emily Moser goes up for a kill Saturday against Miami East. A Miami East error gave Troy

one last chance, but Cash put match point away.

“We know that the longer a point goes, the more it favors us,” John Cash said. “We try to stretch points out and frustrate them, because we know they’ll either make an error or we’ll get a chance to strike. It was a matter of who was and who wasn’t going to make the big plays, and fortunately for us, we made them at the end.

“Troy’s the big Division I school in the county. They get a lot of press — and for good reason. It also kind of puts a chip on these girls’ shoulder, plus they know all these girls, are friends with them or play JO with them, so it’s a great rivalry. We needed that push.

We needed Troy to play us tough today, and they did.”

Ashley Current added seven kills, two aces and a block for the Vikings, Kara Nuss had five kills and a block, Angie Mack had four kills, six digs and an ace, Trina Current had four kills, an ace, a block and an assist, Lindsey Black had two aces, an assist and seven digs and Anna Kiesewetter had 22 digs.

Katie Demao had five kills and three blocks for Troy, Ashton Riley had three kills, a block and 15 digs and Maddie Kleptz had three digs.

The Vikings host Mississinawa Valley Tuesday, the same night the Trojans host Lebanon.

“They’re (Miami East) a great squad. But the girls didn’t quit,” Owen said.

“They kept fighting.”

Time to say good-bye Sculptures on Square downtown exhibit to end Staff Reports

The 20 lifelike bronze sculptures placed throughout downtown Troy this summer will be leaving Monday.

Presented by Troy Main Street in partnership with the city of Troy, Seward Johnson’s statues marked the sixth installment of Sculptures on the Square and the third time his work has appeared in Troy.

“Originally, we were supposed to have them through July as a threemonth exhibit, but as we were working with Mumford & Sons, the dates kept changing, and we were asking for an extension but couldn’t say why just yet,” said TMS Executive Director Karin Manovich in an earlier interview. “But in the end, once we could tell (The Sculpture Foundation Inc.) the reason, they wanted to keep them up for longer so the concertgoers could see them.

They were excited to hear the news and agreed to extend the time at no additional cost.”

The figures are distinguished for their strikingly realistic appearance and routine poses, which include a man clipping hedges, a woman walking a dog and people washing windows.

“They’re all very authentic and frequently mistaken for real people, and that’s why they’re pretty popular,” Manovich said.

“That’s part of the draw — they’re life-size and very authentic-looking.”

Residents and visitors are encouraged to take self-guided walking tours of the outdoor exhibit today, before they are gone. Brochures are available in most downtown businesses For more information, visit www.troymainstreet. org.

A group of ladies visit downtown Troy and Sculptures on the Square Thursday during a summer trip. The eight sisters originally from the Ansonia area including Janet Gigandet Hickey of Dayton, Mary Gigandet of Greenville, Jane Gigandet Kunk of Portland, Indiana, Rita Gigandet Mayo of Greenville, Margaret Gigandet Guillozet of Troy, Dorothy Gigandet Hart of Fort Recovery, Elsie Gigandet Shappie of Versailles and Edie Gigandet Speck of Fort Recovery said they plan a trip together each summer and this year stopped in Troy to tour the 20 life-like displays

by Seward Johnson throughout the area of the Public Square. The sculptures will remain on the streets until Sept. 2.

Paterniti chronicles more than cheese “The Telling Room: a Tale of Love, Betrayal, Revenge, and the World’s Greatest Piece of Cheese” (Dial Press), by Michael Paterniti What makes a great cheese?

The skill of the cheesemaker, the freshness of the raw milk, or perhaps the variety of grass and herbs the animals ate?

Michael Paterniti’s “The Telling Room” suggests one more secret ingredient: weaving all those elements into a story that’s savored just like the cheese itself. “The Telling Room” is ostensibly about “the world’s greatest piece of cheese,” yet it’s also “a tale of love, betrayal, and revenge.”

But telling the story of Paramo de Guzman cheese turns out to be far more difficult than Paterniti — or his wife and editors — ever expected. The book begins with a chance encounter over 20 years ago: a passing ref-

erence to the semi-mythical cheese in a foodie newsletter.

That turns into a plan to visit the tiny, remote Spanish town where the cheesemaker has mysteriously stopped making a product that kings and celebrities had praised.

Then the real story — and trouble — begins. Paterniti doesn’t just drop into the harsh but picturesque countryside to harvest some colorful dialogue and then knock out a slow-food tome that praises the heroically pure cheesemaker. He moves to the village with his wife and two young children, and the story gets richer but murkier, too.

Was cheesemaker Ambrosio Molinos ruined by the betrayal of his best friend, or was he also just a terrible businessman? What’s behind some of the terrible blood feuds of the Spanish Civil War era that literally left bones of innocents buried in the fields around the village?

that praises slow food with a lifestyle that’s the opposite — manic tweets, blogs and life measured in seconds and minutes, not years?

After more than 15 years of work, as the project is about to collapse in failure, Paterniti realizes he has one of the most precious and elusive storytelling elements of all: the perspective of time. Just as the late New Yorker writer Joseph Mitchell immersed himself with the people he wrote about until they revealed their secrets, fears and dreams, Paterniti emerges with a glimpse inside the hearts of the people of Guzman.

In the end, “The Telling Room” delivers a wealth of insights about Spain, food, friendship and the art of writing. The path might not be what you expected, but that makes the memories even richer, just like the surprises in a great meal.

“Manana Means Heaven” (University of Arizona Press), by Tim Z. Hernandez As Jack Kerouac described her, she was “the cutest little Mexican girl” who happened across his path at a bus stop in Bakersfield, Calif., and became “Terry” in his classic novel, “On the Road.” In reality, Kerouac scholars knew she was a woman named Bea Franco, but despite many efforts over the fog of years, none could find her. Until now.

Tim Z. Hernandez, an award-winning author and poet, spent years building and sifting through a list of nearly 200 Bea Francos across the United States, searching for the one whose brief romance with a young, wandering writer was immortalized in the book that defined the Beat Generation. As chance would have it, Hernandez found her living in his native San Joaquin Valley barely a mile from his own home.

“Manana Means Heaven” is a combination of fiction and memory, based on the conversations Hernandez shared with the elderly Franco and his own research. It is a story of that 1947 romance as told from her side, the events that led up to her meeting “Jackie” as she fled an abusive husband and the complications that caused their lives to drift toward different paths.

Hernandez’s intimate knowledge of life amid the agricultural fields of central California and his ability to conjure the thoughts and emotions of the young Bea Franco make for a graceful and melancholy tale.

Until Hernandez came knocking at their door in 2010, Franco (whose name had become Kozera) and her children had never known that she was part of one of the most important works of American literature. Just weeks before Hernandez’s telling of her story was to be released, Bea Franco died in California at the age of 92. In her final days, however, she was able to hold a copy of the novel, her image on the cover.

The title refers to words Kerouac wrote, “manana, a lovely word and one that probably means heaven.”

Gilbert, King, Fielding have novels out in fall NEW YORK (AP) — Elizabeth Gilbert spent enough years as a memoir writer, and had so much success, that even her admirers forget that she started out in fiction.

“For all intents and purposes, whatever I did before ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ doesn’t exist,” Gilbert said during a recent interview. “I’ve had some really lovely encounters with very sweet people.

Someone will come up to me and say, ‘I just want to tell you I loved your first book so much.

It changed my life.’ And I know they’re not talking about that book of short stories I published in the 1990s.”

This fall, Gilbert returns to fiction with “The Signature of All Things,” a globe-trotting family saga set in the 18th and 19th centuries. It’s her first novel in more than a decade and a book she could never have taken on without the triumph of “Eat, Pray, Love,” her millionselling account of the spiritual and geographic journey that followed the collapse of her first marriage.

“Writing serves different purposes in different seasons in life,” says Gilbert, 44, now remarried. “In my 20s, I was seriously pursuing an avocation in literary fiction. Then I used writing all through my 30s just to work some stuff out, just to take on some really important things I had to figure out myself.

Now, I’m in this really wonderful moment where I have the resources and the time to return to fiction in a bigger way than I could have had in my 20s.”

Gilbert is among several authors who are crossing from one side to the other between fiction and nonfiction. Ishmael Beah, the former child soldier from Sierra Leone who debuted with the best-selling memoir, “A Long Way Gone,” has written the novel “Radiance of Tomorrow.”

Jesmyn Ward, whose novel “Salvage the Bones” won the National Book Award in 2011, has a memoir, “Men We Reaped.”

In “The Death of Santini,” Pat Conroy tells a nonfiction story about his father, who inspired the classic Conroy novel “The

Great Santini.” Gilbert’s friend Ann Patchett, whose novels include “Bel Canto” and “State of Wonder,” is back with a memoir, “This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage.”

“I have to go looking for fiction, but nonfiction, which is essentially just life, is always there,” Patchett says. “I’m writing nonfiction all the time. I got to the point where I had so much of it that I wanted to shape it into a narrative. The experience of publishing this book feels really different from publishing a novel. Novels are nerve-racking, major productions. ‘This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage’ is easier. It’s just me.”

Fiction writers sticking to fiction include Thomas Pynchon, Jhumpa Lahiri and Alice McDermott. “The Secret History” author Donna Tartt ends a decade-long absence with the novel “The Goldfinch,” and Stephen King continues the story of his classic “The Shining” with “Doctor Sleep.” Helen Fielding has some new adventures for her fictional heroine in “Bridget

Jones: Mad About the Boy.” Philip Roth and Alice Munro are apparently done with writing books, but others of their generation have new works of fiction, including E.L. Doctorow, Lore Segal and Norman Rush.

Meanwhile, Marisha Pessl and Pulitzer Prize winner Paul Harding look to build on the success of their debut novels.

Fiction also will come from a former CIA operative (Valerie Plame), a forensic dentist (Mike Tabor, author of “Walk of Death”), a movie star (James Franco) and a TV character, “Homeland: Carrie’s Run.” A certain television host, David Letterman, has written the text for a picture book on the income divide: “This Land Was Made for You and Me (but Mostly Me): Billionaires in the Wild.”

Veronica Roth, who may soon rival Stephenie Meyer and Suzanne Collins in popularity among teens, completes her “Divergent” trilogy with “Allegiant.” Rick Riordan continues his “Heroes of Olympus” series, Jeff Kinney will have the

latest “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” and Collins tells a war story for the very young in the picture book “Year of the Jungle.”

In politics, the best-selling “Game Change” team of Mark Halperin and John Heilemann will be back with their take on the 2012 White House race, “Double Down.” The two great presidents of the early 20th century, Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, will be subjects of books by Pulitzer Prize winning biographers: A. Scott Berg’s “Wilson” and Doris Kearns Goodwin’s “The Bully Pulpit.”

“For good or bad, we live in a world that is largely of Woodrow Wilson’s making,” Berg wrote in an email, “from the institutions that govern our economy (the Federal Reserve Board), to anti-trust legislation and labor protection (the 8-hour workday) to the basic tenets of our foreign policy, most of which stem from Wilson’s call for a Declaration of War on April 2, 1917, when he said, ‘The world must be made safe for democracy.’”

30-year mortgage stands at 4.58 pct WASHINGTON (AP) — Average U.S. rates for fixed mortgages rose this week to their highest levels in two years, driven by heightened speculation that the Federal Reserve will slow its bond purchases later this year.

Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average rate on the 30-year loan jumped to 4.58 percent, up from 4.40 percent last week.

The average on the 15-year fixed loan rose to 3.60 percent from 3.44 percent. Both averages are the highest since July 2011.

Rates have risen more than a full percentage point since May. Last week’s spike comes after more Fed members signaled they could be open to reducing the bond purchases as early as September. The purchases have helped keep longterm interest rates low, including mortgage rates.

Despite the increase, mortgage rates remain

low by historical standards. And recent reports suggest the jump in rates has yet to sap the housing recovery’s momentum.

In July, previously occupied homes in the U.S. sold at the fastest pace since 2009. Sales jumped 6.5 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.4 million, the National Association of Realtors reported Wednesday. Over the past 12 months, sales have surged 17.2 percent.

Last week, the National Association of Home Builders said its measure of confidence among builders rose this month to its highest level in nearly eight years.

Mortgage rates are rising because they tend to follow the yield on the 10-year Treasury note.

The yield has also surged on speculation that the Fed’s stimulus will slow.

It rose to 2.90 percent Thursday morning, its highest level in two years.

Advantage

I use lanterns in yearround decorating. But in the fall, working lanterns into my seasonal displays is an absolute must.

Greet visitors with a warm welcome when they visit this fall with a knock-your-socks-off exterior display. Use faux fall greens for a dramatic yet simple arrangement. The key to making fake fall picks, wreaths and garland look natural, not cheesy, is to work with the material, turning and twisting, until it looks like it would really grow in nature. Let some strands reach up, some stretch out and some trail down.

If you want to have the glow of candlelight to brighten up fall evenings, use a battery-operated candle in a lantern. You can get ones with remote controls and on timers — all the romance of candlelight with none of the fire risks or hassles.

We also like to use the space inside a lantern as a little stage for fall decor.

Here’s a fun idea: Roll up pages from old books into scrolls, then place them in a little wire basket and insert it inside a lantern.

When I entertain in the fall, I like to place lit lanterns on the steps that lead up to my front door.

During the day, a line of lanterns adds interest to a front walkway or patio perimeter. In the evening, light them to illuminate each step for guests.

Work lanterns into your landscape as well. Place one in a dry birdbath, hang one from the top of an arbor, dangle one from a garden gate or suspend several from tree branches over garden beds or an outdoor table.

I use lots of lanterns in interior fall displays because they can be tricked up millions of ways, all in a matter of minutes. Try putting a little battery-operated candle inside a lantern, and then surround the lantern with a cloud of foliage.

Gardener: The Peterson Garden Project Joe Lamp’l

Scripps Howard News Service

SHNS — We talk a lot on “Growing a Greener World” about those in urban communities looking for new ways to grow their own food. Today, we look at an organization that not only sets up community gardens in big-city neighborhoods, but also teaches the people HOW to grow their food. But what sets its mission apart is that the gardens are meant to be only temporary.

All across the country, there are many urban areas with very little green space, let alone places for people to grow food.

The Peterson Garden Project in Chicago is a nonprofit organization hoping to change that.

It has a mission based on some of the same philosophies used during the “Victory Garden” movement of the early 1940s.

During World War II, communities came together to build temporary gardens to teach citizens how grow food.

The Peterson Garden Project is doing the same thing, but with the goal of growing lifelong gardeners as well as organic produce.

LaManda Joy founded the

Peterson Garden Project just three years ago.

It all started when she noticed a vintage 1943 photo on the wall of her local butcher shop. It was a shot of a Victory Garden that once stood on Peterson Avenue in her neighborhood. She marveled at how a large empty lot could produce so much food. A few days later, she was driving down the street and there was the same lot that she recognized from the photo. It was abandoned.

All she could think of was how that was such a waste and how the lot should be used to grow food again.

That sparked the idea about starting a modern Victory Garden. As it turned out, Joy’s first garden was actually at that site. But, in keeping with the plan, it was only temporary.

Eventually, a building went up on the property.

Her original goal was to get 20 people or so to join her to set up some beds and grow food.

Yet so many people jumped at the chance to participate that she was absolutely overwhelmed with the response.

“At that time, I didn’t realize how many wanna-be gardeners there were in the area,” she

recalls. Landowners were willing to give temporary access, raising funds wasn’t a problem and eventually an entire community garden came to life — the largest organic community garden in Chicago.

“Once I got the ball rolling, everyone wanted to be involved.”

The nonprofit was created and more gardens were installed all over the city. Just three years later, they have

transformed vacant lots into nine organic community gardens, with more than 3,000 people involved in growing food for themselves and others.

But the project’s mission is not to build long-term gardens, but rather lifelong gardeners.

The main goal is education — just as it was with the Victory Gardens.

The project teaches newbies how to grow their own food.

Then, they create raised-bed

community gardens on vacant lots. The gardeners lease the space until the owners are ready to build something there.

For this reason, all of the gardens are built on properties that usually have just a twogrowing-season lease. At the end of the lease, participants literally rip up the raised beds and build a new garden elsewhere.

Everyone feels a connection to these gardens. There are classes, concerts, parties and potlucks. The community really comes together and neighbors meet neighbors.

“We have found that the gardening and the community don’t stop when we move the garden,” notes Joy. “People continue with the project at the new location or they start finding new ways to grow food in containers or other unused space. And the community really sticks together. Strangers are now neighbors and fellow gardeners.”

Changing air conditioner filters

Q:

I’m having trouble changing the filters in my air conditioner. Every year I have to call a repairman just to change the filters. There are two filters on top of the fan, one on either side of the fan. To get them out I would have to reach up past electrical wiring and a metal pipe, and I’m worried I might damage something important. I’m a retired widow and I need to do some things myself to save money. Do you have any suggestions to make this process easier?

A: It is very important to change the filters in a furnace or air conditioner’s blower section more than once a year.

The dust and dirt that collect on the filters reduce the amount of airflow through the fan. The collection of debris SHNS Photo on the filter puts a strain on A pull-out kitchen faucet, or a pull-down faucet, gives you a wide the fan’s motor, reducing the range of motion for easily rinsing, washing and filling containers. life expectancy of an expensive motor and increasing the energy use of the motor.

The reduced airflow also

Couple torn Banas between two faucet styles

increases the amount of energy required to cool or heat the home.

What you are describing is a fan on a combination furnaceand-air-conditioning unit with the filters above the furnace fan. The metal pipe is the flue for the furnace and it radiates heat in the winter. You could receive a nasty burn if you were to touch the metal pipe while changing filters in the winter.

The wiring is most likely for the circuit board for the electronic controls of the unit. If you damaged the wiring or the board, the unit could fail and neither the furnace nor the air conditioner would work.

Here is my suggestion for you and lots of other homeowners who have restricted access to their filters. Change the location of the filter access. In your case, a slot big enough to accept a single filter can be cut in the sheet metal above the present location of the filters.

A larger filter is installed and can be set at an angle on one of

the original brackets now used to support the two filters.

If this does not work out, a secondary support bracket can be installed by an HVAC (heating/venting/air-conditioning) contractor. By setting the new filter at an angle, you are increasing the surface area that is exposed to the air stream inside the ductwork.

Once the new filter access is installed, make sure there is a filter cover to prevent external air from entering the controlled filter section. In some instances, it may be necessary to add an opening in an adjacent wall or ceiling to locate the cold-airreturn ducts to install a filter.

Whatever you decide, the filter access needs to be easy to use to encourage regular maintenance of the filters. Your health and the health of the furnace/AC depend on a clean filter.

Q:

My wife and I enjoy reading your column, and we both agree you can help us. We’re installing a new kitchen faucet and narrowed the choices down to a “pull-out” or a “pulldown” kitchen faucet.

Can you please list some benefits of both styles to help us decide? — George and Lucy, Rhode Island A: Both styles have a spout with a built-in spray head that extends with a flexible hose to perform normal kitchen chores. This eliminates the need for a deckmounted sprayer, giving the sink an uncluttered look. However, like the names say, a pull-out kitchen-faucet spray head pulls out from the faucet horizontally, while a pull-down faucet has a candy-cane-shaped spout,

This Aug. 7 photo shows Tony Eiguren, left, owner of the Basque Market, serving a plate of paella to a lunch customer in Boise, Idaho. Each Wednesday and Friday, Eiguren and his staff make a big batch of paella in front of their store on Boise’s historic Basque Block. The city’s Basque Block downtown is the best place for learning more about the heritage. As early the late 1800s, Basques began settling in southwestern Idaho, many lured here to work as sheepherders. The Basque Block includes a museum, a market, restaurants, street art and historical signage.

Make a visit to the ‘City of Trees’ BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Boise has long been dubbed the “City of Trees,” a nickname that always catches newcomers by surprise given the city’s high-desert climate and summers with little or no rain.

But a hike into the foothills or a short drive up the road to the local ski hill makes it abundantly clear why the moniker fits, as a lush, green canopy stretches from downtown west across the valley floor.

Celebrating its 150th anniversary this year, this former military outpost along the Oregon Trail has consistently ranked among the nation’s fastest growing cities for the last decade. The reasons are varied, but this city of more than 200,000 residents offers a moderate climate, ample access to recreation, rich and diverse cultural and culinary opportunities and the Boise River, which flows through downtown and attracts wildlife, urban anglers and other recreational water-lovers.

Idaho’s capital city — pronounced BOY-see by the locals — and the surrounding region also provide plenty of things to do at no cost. Here are five free things to do in Boise: HIKE OR BIKE IN THE FOOTHILLS Boise is snuggled up along a line of foothills that stretch north and east and serve as stepping stones into national forest and the bigger, Boise Mountain Range. The foothills are also a playground for hikers, runners, mountain bikers and bird-watchers. The city manages a network of more than 130 miles (210 kilometers) of trails and

numerous access points, some just minutes from downtown. Even a short, moderate hike along any of the trails provides enough elevation to overlook the city, the valley and the Owyhee Mountains across the valley floor. There is also the Jim Hall Foothills Learning Center, a great resource for information about the high-desert environment and the plants, wildflowers and wildlife that inhabit the foothills.

THE BASQUE BLOCK Boise is home to one of the nation’s biggest concentrations of Basques outside the Basque region in Spain. The city’s Basque Block downtown is the best place for learning more about the heritage.

As early the late 1800s, Basques began settling in southwestern Idaho, many lured here to work as sheepherders. The Basque Block includes a museum, a market, restaurants, street art and historical signage that track the Basque influence and history in and beyond Boise.

BOISE RIVER GREENBELT Like the foothills, the Greenbelt is a recreational gem for residents and visitors alike. The 25-mile (40-kilometer) trail, featuring tree-lined paths on both sides of the Boise River, runs through the heart of the city and beyond. It’s user-friendly for bike commuters heading to the office downtown, walkers, joggers and a conduit for getting to the Boise State University campus, downtown shops and restaurants and the numerous parks that line the river and trail system. A handful of hotels in the area also provide

free bikes to guests looking to pedal around town.

SNAKE RIVER WINE COUNTRY There are a handful of wineries in Boise proper, but for the real adventure and scenic splendor, take a drive southwest of town into the Snake River Valley’s wine region, officially designated as an American Viticultural Area. The region’s soils and varied microclimates have given birth in the last decade to vineyards and a collection of wine makers growing in prominence in the Northwest.

Several of the more than two dozen vineyards offer free tastings; others charge a $5 fee that can be used toward the purchase of a bottle of red or white. Bring a picnic basket and sit back and watch the sun set along the Owyhee Mountains and the beautiful vistas all along the Snake River Plain.

CAPITOL CITY PUBLIC MARKET Sure you have to pay for the locally grown fruit, vegetables, grass-fed beef or the various arts and crafts for sale, but the sights, smells, sounds and people-watching are free at Boise’s version of the classic farmer’s market. In three separate spots downtown, vendors set up shop on blocked-off city streets or plazas each Saturday morning from April through December. And more than any other time, it’s when the city’s downtown hums as foodies search out the latest in fresh produce or pack the coffee shops or restaurants with outdoor patios serving brunch.

This 2010 photo provided by Boise Parks & Recreation shows bikers on the Polecat Loop in the Ridge to Rivers trail system in Boise, Idaho. The foothills are also a playground for hikers, runners, mountain bikers and bird-watchers. The city manages a network of more than 130 miles (210 kilometers) of trails and numerous access points, some just minutes from downtown. Even a short, moderate hike along any of the trails provides enough elevation to overlook the city, the valley and the Owyhee Mountains across the valley floor.

Man, dog join forces for new breed of philanthropy LOS ANGELES (AP) — When Charlie Annenberg adopted an abandoned golden retriever named Lucky, a new breed of philanthropy was born.

Lucky was 4 in 2001 when he teamed up with Annenberg, scion to a wealthy family known for giving money away.

The 46-year-old Annenberg incorporated Lucky into all his projects. They were on the road more than they were home as they traveled around making documentaries about people who were making a difference.

Lucky became Annenberg’s sidekick and soul mate and would eventually inspire donations to dog-focused causes from the as much as $8 million the philanthropist controls annually.

Whether it was a chef at The White House or coal miners 100 feet underground in West Virginia, Lucky made documentary interviews easy because he made everyone so comfortable.

In each small town and big city,

the man and dog would make unannounced stops at a retirement home, where Lucky would steal the show.

The workload for both grew with explore.org. Using state-

of-the-art cameras, Annenberg brought wildlife (bears and bees and beluga whales) to stunning life for millions of web watchers.

He and Lucky traveled to every installation in North America

and everywhere they went, Annenberg filmed Lucky interacting with people and places.

At the Delta Blues Museum in Mississippi, Annenberg cut a harmonica-backed, spontaneous freestyle jazz tribute to Lucky.

“It doesn’t matter what color your skin, man or woman, fat or thin. He loves them all, every day. His name is Lucky and he’s my friend.”

In 2010, Annenberg decided to use his Lucky photos and films for a travel journal on Facebook, telling the story of their trips.

Annenberg called the journal Dog Bless You, he said, because several years earlier Lucky had befriended a homeless man in San Francisco. They shared time and a sandwich with the man. As they were leaving, the man said: “Dog bless you.”

The Facebook page was all about Lucky, but it captured the fervor for pets that was growing around the country. “Today we have an audience of 505,000

fans,” said Courtney Johnson, explore.org’s community relations manager.

When an earthquake and tsunami struck Japan in 2011, killing more than 18,000 people, Annenberg used Dog Bless You to send six search dogs.

Then war veterans started returning home in large numbers, with wounds including brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Passion for the cause on Dog Bless You soared. Dogs cost between $2,000 and $50,000 each, depending on how much training they need, Johnson said.

Annenberg, grandson of the late publisher, ambassador and philanthropist Walter H. Annenberg, is a vice president and director of the grant-making Annenberg Foundation. He gives away up to $8 million a year.

In just three years, he has donated 170 guide dogs, searchand-rescue dogs or service dogs for veterans.
