Some residents voice concerns over concert

Nyad celebrates historic swim from Cuba to Florida

TROY — While Troy City Council exchanged its positive feedback as one of the many hosts of the Gentlemen of the Road tour last weekend, two city residents expressed their frustration with concert-goers “going” in their backyards and the noise level well in to the wee hours of the music festival.

Although official numbers have yet to be released, some officials estimate more than

23,360 people attended the concert on Friday night and more than 29,015 checked into the festival site on Saturday at Troy Memorial Stadium.

Rebecca Gabryel, a resident of 19 S. Cherry St., said she personally enjoyed the festival and hosted many friends over the weekend, but was appalled at the lack of support from local police to keep concert goers off her property and from urinating and smoking marijuana on her front porch of her apartment.

Gabryel said she was

“disheartened” that she and her roommate and guests felt unsafe in their apartment as concert goers stood outside her home until 4 a.m. drinking and carousing well after the festival was over.

“I was woke up by a huge group in our yard having a party,” she said. “There were beer cans and four young men smoking pot on our porch.”

Gabryel said she attempted several times to alert Troy Police officers on the street who were not able to help

curtail the crowd outside her apartment. She said it was the Miami County Sheriff ’s Department , which removed one man from her backyard after he was caught urinating near her porch. Gabryel said the officer removed the man’s wristband and he was removed from the festival grounds.

Gabryel also said she received help from her landlord and local activist Bryan Kemper, who owns the South Cherry Street residence.

Kemper blasted city officials and urged them to pay to power wash the

home where he was upset that his tenants were left feeling unsafe throughout the weekend.

Kemper said he was shocked at the “100 percent positive ” response from city officials and property owners and echoed Gabyrel’s accounts of the urination on his property on South Cherry Street over the weekend.

Kemper also said he and his wife walked the grounds of Troy High School and Troy Junior

Getting back to normal Troy Memorial Stadium field survived weekend concert

By Melanie Yingst Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

TROY — With the weight of more than 30,000 concert attendees during Saturday alone,

everyone in Troy wants to know — how did Troy Memorial Stadium’s football field fare after The Gentlemen of the Road, well, got back on the road?

Ted Mercer, owner

of The Mercer Group, a lawn and athletic turf maintenance company in Troy, stood in the spot where the main stage

CONCORD TWP. — Concord Township trustees received several complaints from residents regarding solicitation in their neighborhood this summer and now trustees will be researching the laws and permit process to outlaw the practice of door-to-door sales in the township.

Concord Township Trustee Tom Mercer said he has made contact with the township’s legal advisers about a future policy to regulate solicitations if the township wishes to pursue it.

“Personally, I’d like to see something like this,” Mercer said. Mercer noted that the solicitors in the area who caused the complaints were “particularly pushy.” According to Miami County Sheriff ’s reports from this summer, several residents complained of a salesman trying to sell magazine subscriptions in Concord Township neighborhoods.

“I think the citizens would approve of having something in place,” Mercer said. Mercer said the process to research an ordinance would take time and legal work.

Trustees Bill Whidden and Sue Campbell agreed for Mercer to continue to research the issue and provide updates.

Whidden said the solicitation issue has come up a few times over the years.

Whidden said due to the lack of full-time staff, one

hurdle would be to figure out how permits to solicit would be handled and other communication would need to be in place to move forward with the anti-solicitation ordinance.

“Tom, If you are willing to take this on for research, go ahead,” Whidden said of the solicitation.

Trustees also reviewed a compliant about the railroad crossing at Lytle Road. Trustees said they have met with county officials and determined that the crossing did not warrant additional lights and said the crossing is only used at night and a few times a month throughout the year.

Trustees also reviewed a 50 percent match grant from the Miami County Community Development manager. Mercer said one property located at 1541 N. County Rd. 25-A, is an eye sore and has been condemned by the Miami County Health Department.

Mercer said he would continue to review information and get quotes to possibly have the property demolished without the township purchasing the property. Also, more information would be needed about who owns the property (bank-owned or still under private ownership) to possible place a lien for the demolition to coup money spent.

Boehner’s aboard: Obama gains Syria-strike support WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama gained ground Tuesday in his drive for congressional backing of a military strike against Syria, winning critical support from House Speaker John Boehner while administration officials agreed to explicitly rule out the use of U.S. combat troops in retaliation for a chemical weapons attack.

“You’re probably going to win” Congress’ backing, Rand Paul of Kentucky, a conservative senator and likely opponent of the measure, conceded in a late-afternoon exchange with Secretary of State John Kerry.

The leader of House Republicans, Boehner

emerged from a meeting at the White House and said the United States has “enemies around the world that need to understand that we’re not going to tolerate this type of behavior. We also have allies around the world and allies in the region who also need to know that America will be there and stand up when it’s necessary.”

Boehner spoke as lawmakers in both parties called for changes in the president’s requested legislation, rewriting it to restrict the type and duration of any military action that would be authorized, possibly including a ban on U.S. combat forces on the ground.

A new resolution was written Tuesday by Sens.

Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and Bob Corker, R-Tenn.

It could get a vote by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Wednesday.

Menendez is the chairman and Corker is the top Republican on the panel.

“There’s no problem in our having the language that has zero capacity for American troops on the ground,” said Secretary of State John Kerry, one of three senior officials to make the case for military intervention at the committee’s hearing.

Kerry had said earlier in the hearing that he’d prefer not to have such language, hypothesizing the potential

need for sending ground troops “in the event Syria imploded” or to prevent its chemical weapons cache from falling into the hands of a terrorist organization.

“President Obama is not asking America to go to war,” Kerry said in a strongly worded opening statement. He added, “This is not the time for armchair isolationism.

This is not the time to be spectators to slaughter.”

Obama said earlier in the day he was open to revisions in the relatively broad request the White House made over the weekend. He expressed confidence Congress would respond to his call for support and said Assad’s action “poses a

serious national security threat to the United States and to the region.”

The administration says 1,429 died from the attack on Aug. 21 in a Damascus suburb.

Casualty estimates by other groups are far lower, and Assad’s government blames the episode on rebels who have been seeking to overthrow his government in a civil war that began over two years ago. A United Nations inspection team is awaiting lab results on tissue and soil samples it collected while in the country before completing a closely watched report.

City council member Robin Oda reviewed the city’s resolution to turn the city’s festival site over to the festival’s production company Jam Productions and said she “did not understand” by voting for the resolution it would turn over the city property to the production company.

Patrick Titterington, city service and safety director, said, according to the ordinance, the city gave Jam Production the festival site as a “private venue” and the city no longer had the right-of-way from Thursday through Sunday of the event.

Titterington said the city law director Jim Livingston could delve in to the “legalese of the ordinance” but noted that he “for one, didn’t want to debate it.”

Oda said if she were asked to approve something like the ordinance in the future, “I intend to vote ‘no.’”

City council president Marty Baker said if Oda did not understand future legislation such as the festival ordinance, “to ask questions” before voting for or against such matters.

Will Harrelson, volunteer coordinator and local attorney, said he wanted to highlight the positives of the 70 organizations which benefited from the GOTR concert.

Harrelson said more than 1,500 volunteer gave more than 11,000 hours of time to

Troy Daily News • www.troydailynews.com

help with the festival organization from around Troy, Miami County and other cities.

Harrelson said school organizations, churches and other nonprofit organizations will benefit from the help they provided during the weekend.

Harrelson said he talked to a lot of people who were “extremely happy with our city and the volunteers who will benefit.”

“That is just one specific highlight and we wanted to get that out in the open,” he said.

There was no business agenda prior to the public comments from the audience. Mayor Michael Beamish commented that he was overwhelmed with the positive comments from the festival attendees and the downtown businesses.

“It was a positive things for Troy, Ohio USA,” Beamish said. Beamish said the community showed its spirit in true fashion throughout the weekend.

“There are no bit players, everybody had a role to play,” he said. Beamish said he also received a phone call from the Piqua Mayor Lucy Fess congratulating the city on a job well done.

“She said it was beyond awesome,” Beamish said.

LOGISTICAL ISSUES Titterington said there were still some logistical issues at the concert venue due to the fencing company lagging behind in the clean-up efforts, but should be caught up in the

next few days.

“Clean-up is ongoing,” Titterington said, noting the crews have “done a wonderful job” thus far in their efforts.

One question that has been flooding the city hall is what will be done with the GOTR banners and memorabilia in the coming weeks.

Titterington said he will explore the legality of the disposal of the banners, which could include an online auction for those outside of Troy to bid if it is possible.

Titterington said he fielded questions about the banners from visitors from North Carolina, Missouri and Tennessee in regards to the GOTR banners.

“We will notify (the public) what we are going to do with those,” Titterington said.

Titterington also said the accounting of the festival is also ongoing and are calculating the overtime and other costs associated with the GOTR tour. Titterington said Jam Productions made a deposit to the city prior to the event to help cover initial costs incurred with the festival site.

Overtime, staffing and other hours and costs will be needed to finalize and be settled from the event at a later date, Titterington said. The initial estimate was “right on point” he said so far in the accounting process.

Mercer carefully watched and directed one of his employees, who cruised back and forth on an four-wheel vehicle applying a dose of liquid iron to the grass where thousands of people enjoyed the the twoday music festival just 72 hours earlier in the weekend.

“It will be read to go for Friday,” Mercer said. “The field with stood the foot traffic and stress of the concert and will be ready to go for Friday night football and for the rest of the season.”

Mercer said the protective “Port-a-Floor,” provided

by Jam Productions, kept the grass intact. Mercer also said prior to the concert, several preventative maintenance processes were done to ensure the pride and joy of Troy Memorial Stadium would be protected for football players and soccer teams to use throughout the rest of the season.

A fungicide and potassium treatment was part of the preventative turf maintenance, Mercer said. Once the flooring

was removed, Mercer said his crew cut the grass twice and ran “turf sweepers” to suck up grass clippings and any debris that had fallen between the cracks. Drill or slice seeding also was done at the cen-

ter of the field to encourage regrowth.

“We did a lot of work before the concert,” Mercer said.

While fencing around the venue is still in place, all the trash and debris has been cleaned up and

the field goal post has been replaced. Mercer said “radical irrigation” will help boost the turf’s color and strength by Friday.

The Troy High School varsity boys soccer game was moved Tuesday to Ferguson Field so Mercer and his crew could continue to monitor the field before the Trojans play football against Springfield Shawnee Friday night.

“We’ll be ready to go Friday for the football game (against Springfield Shawnee),” Troy Athletic Director Jeff Sakal said of the field. “There shouldn’t be any problems.”

Mercer said he also attended the concert over the weekend and enjoyed the festival and how the community embraced the challenge of hosting such a large event at Troy Memorial Stadium.

“It was great for the community,” Mercer said. “I think we prepared and did everything we could to get things back to normal — the field will be ready to go.”

Troy City Schools’

Superintendent Eric Herman said the school grounds will be back to normal by Thursday as the fencing company and Jam Productions works to clear out this week.

Herman said he, along with staff members, were on the grounds checking for trash and debris and said overall, he was impressed with the clean up efforts of those who camped on school property.

Herman said the fencing should be down by Thursday.

“Honestly, everything was very good and the crews did a good job,” Herman said. “We got a lot of positive feedback and there’s hasn’t been a lot of negative comments at all.”

Herman said many of the bands used the Troy High School’s auditorium to record music during the festival.

“Everyone that was in our buildings were very respectful of our buildings,” Herman said.

Trustees received notice from the Miami County Board of Elections that a handicap accessible signage and parking spot would be the only requirement for the

building to comply with the current accessibility issues. Superintendent Neil Rhoades estimated signs would cost up to $125 for the comply with polling place requirement. Trustees all agreed to move forward with the sign placement and

to seek compensation for the additional signs from the board of elections in the future.

Also, the township’s parking resolution has been publicized in several places as well as in the Troy Daily News and on the Concord Township’s

website. A copy has been submitted to the Miami County Sheriff’s Office on Aug. 20.

Community Calendar

September 4, 2013

Tipp United Way campaign under way TIPP CITY — The Tipp City Area United Way’s 2013 annual campaign is under way and community support is needed to achieve their goal of $190,000.

“It was very uplifting to exceed our goal last year. Some of the credit is due to a few more employee campaigns, Abbott and Repacorp implemented their first employee campaign, and we expect their campaigns to improve this year,” said Lisa Bratton, campaign chair. “Combine that with our usual community support and we are hoping for a successful campaign, but we can only achieve that if everyone stays engaged.”

“In the best of times, we had people who skipped meals out of necessity, lacked medical care or occasionally needed to sleep in cars or vans. With less government funding many of our partner agencies will need additional income to keep up with the ever increasing demand due to the uneven recovery in our economy,” said Zachary Jacobs, co-campaign chair. “Many of our community members have been able to find a job, but they are either underemployed or working part-time jobs to try to make ends meet, while others have been able to rebound from the downturn in the economy. Right now more than ever, we need Tipp City, Monroe and Bethel Township area residents and business leaders to give to our annual campaign so together we can ease the burden of our needy.”

Bratton said board members will be reaching out to the community.

“To achieve this year’s goal,

we have once again, dedicated our board to personally reach out into the community to partner with our local businesses and individuals. With the increased support of our local businesses participating in the campaign, and offering payroll deductions, employees are provided with an easy way of contributing, while making a difference in the lives of others,” she said. “We are hopeful that more individuals and businesses will help by showing their generosity through increased giving or participating for the first time to help us meet the increasing demands of our partner agencies.”

The local United Way is working to advance the common good by focusing on education, income and health.

Through their work, community members can realize that a quality education that leads to a stable job with enough income to support your family through retirement and good health are the building blocks to a better life. The United Way supports programs operated by trusted, local nonprofit organizations.

Zack, Co-Campaign Chair stated, “Last year over $44,000 was raised from outside employers’ campaigns throughout our area. Some of our local businesses in the area offer employee campaigns. What many people do not realize is that even if you work outside the Tipp City, Monroe and Bethel Township areas, you can have your workplace donation or payroll deduction designated back to your home town Tipp City Area United Way,” Jacobs said. “The best thing about giv-

ing to your local United Way is that the dollars stay here locally to be invested in our community, helping your friends and neighbors. Every single dollar counts, and makes a real difference.”

For those who work in the Dayton area and give through the United Way of the Greater Dayton Area, the code number to designate your gift back to the Tipp City Area United Way is 1030. Other United Ways may ask you to write in the name of the United Way you want to designate your gift to. The combined federal campaign code number for the Tipp City Area United Way is 74512. These numbers also are printed in the annual campaign brochure, which was mailed to everyone in the Tipp City area.

If you have any questions regarding our campaign, need an informational brochure, or would like to facilitate a company campaign at your workplace, call Deborah Carr at (937) 669FUND. You may also help with our community effort by sending your donation to Tipp City Area United Way, P.O. Box 95, Tipp City, OH 45371.

ONLINE POLL

(WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM)

Question: Did you attend the Gentlemen of the Road Stopover Tour in Troy?

Watch for final poll results in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

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

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The (Tiffin) Advertiser-Tribune Some critics believe President Barack Obama committed a tactical error in stating the use of chemical weapons in the Syria civil war would cross a red line, although the U.S. reaction was not specified.

Turns out, his most troubling move regarding the status of the rebellion was to cancel plans to meet separately with Russian President Vladimir Putin prior to the coming G-20 summit.

Yet that summit may provide an opportunity to discuss a common interest for both leaders and both nations: seeing a secular government remain in control of Syria. …

Meanwhile, a resolution authorizing the use of military force against the Syrian regime, proposed by Britain, went nowhere in the U.N. Security Council.

Not only are possible unilateral actions by the United States complicated, so are scenarios of how the 2-year-old insurrection might play out. (If, indeed, the civil war does not drag on — remember Lebanon). Would the United States or Russia want to see a government aligned with al-Qaida arise in Syria?

Diplomacy prior to or during the G20 summit Thursday and Friday may present the best opportunity for the Obama administration to prevent the United States from being drawn into the vortex of turmoil in Syria.

The (Canton) Repository A few years ago, Head Start was looking for parents who would enroll their children; the centers had more slots open than kids to fill them. Let’s hope that this year, the even more unfortunate opposite won’t be true.

In Stark County, as elsewhere, the Head Start preschool program is another victim of the dull ax known as sequestration. …

The poorly fashioned political compromise that led Congress and President Obama to agree to the one-size-fits-all budget cuts has claimed many victims, but we doubt any cuts are more penny-wise and pound-foolish than this one.

Studies show the critical impact of early-childhood education — and the lack of it — on children’s academic and career success. Head Start helps to give preschool children the resources to overcome an impoverished environment and catch up with their peers socially and academically.

Parents who enroll their children in Head Start are conscientiously trying to close this gap. They should have the community’s support — especially a community such as this where early childhood education is getting more and more attention.

After all, it’s the community that is hurt, along with disadvantaged individuals and their families, when children fall though the cracks of the social safety net.

The Cincinnati Enquirer John Gilligan’s life is best summed up in one word: service.

It’s a word that is repeated in nearly every reminiscence of the former Ohio governor, who died Aug. 26 at the age of 92 at his home in Clifton.

Gilligan was a public servant who believed that government had a role to play in improving lives. His career is an example we should look to in this era of gridlock, sequesters and government by crisis. …

As governor, he had the courage to push for a state income tax and then to campaign vigorously to keep it during a referendum challenge.

It was a campaign that may have cut short his ascension in politics. …

At the end of his single term as governor in January 1975, Gilligan reflected on what he accomplished in his four years of service as governor: “We were able to demonstrate we could make life a little better for the poor, the elderly, the racial minorities, the mentally ill and retarded without any great sacrifice of our living standards.”

Certainly, we could benefit from more thinking like this - agreeing to a bit of shared sacrifice to benefit a greater good - in a time when society’s safety nets keep getting cut. …

LETTERS Thank you, Troy, for your hospitality To the Editor: We attended the Gentlemen of the Road concerts and I wanted to say, THANK YOU, TROY! Your city was nothing short of amazing this weekend. We were kindly received and well treated while there. What a beautiful place to have this experience in.

I couldn’t get over how well-organized things were. My kids camped in F campground and thoroughly enjoyed themselves,

while I chose to use a hotel with running water!

Any way you look at it, it was a perfect weekend for us. To the residents of Troy … you have a lot to be proud of. Thank you for opening your doors and inviting us all in to your home. We are grateful for your hospitality. Troy rocks!

The accountability game we must play in Ohio If you believe our lawmakers and our state superintendent (and I don’t), you might think that the “new and improved” school district report cards (they’re really not) are honestly meant to increase accountability in and competition among schools in the State of Ohio. It sounds like a good concept, doesn’t it? After all, who could quibble about accountability and competition?

The problem is, lawmakers wouldn’t recognize either concept if it smacked them in the face. True competition and accountability can only occur if the entities that are competing against each other play by the same set of rules. That relatively simple concept is why basketball rules, for example, aren’t written to force one team to use players who have one hand tied behind their backs while they shoot at a basket that is ten feet off the floor while the other team gets to shoot at an eight foot basket while using both hands. Most reasonable people would watch a game in which there is a disparity in the rules like that and think that perhaps it wasn’t fair.

Furthermore, when the team with the advantage actually won they wouldn’t point to it as proof of its superiority.

They would acknowledge the role the disparity of rules played in that team’s

success and move on. environment in which charter schools But, apparently our lawmakers can exist, and they continue to pour don’t grasp that elementary concept. more money into them despite the They see nothing wrong with creat- fact that the data shows that, for the ing different sets of rules for differ- most part, they are not successful. ent kinds of schools (public, private, (I’m sure the fact that charter school and charter), bragging about sponsors often make rather the beautiful system of accounthefty campaign contributions ability and competition they to the folks making these decihave created, then broadcastsions has nothing to do with ing to the world how schools their points of view.) The fact are performing when forced to is that for a variety of reasons compete with one another.

But, fear not, for they how they think.

They Coalition for Equity and Adequacy have done so under the pretense that of School Funding, charter schools children should be given the option are exempt from approximately 250 of leaving “failing” public schools to sections of Ohio law and at least five attend these charter schools.

schools of worrying about them.

So, just to be clear about what this means, they remove from some schools many of the barriers that they KNOW makes achieving success more difficult while demanding that other schools follow them. And while they’re quietly creating these concessions to protect their pet projects they release report cards on accountability and achievement, pretending as if everyone is playing on a level playing field.

Then, they stand in front of us and talk about the importance of transparency in government, accountability, and competition. That, my friends, is the very definition of hypocrisy.

So, what happens when you dare point these inconsistencies out?

Why they state that you are afraid of accountability and competition, of course, which is not true. What we ARE afraid of is people who are beholding to special interests creating unequal rules by which we must play who then tell the public that they’ve created a “let the best man win” environment. THAT, not competition and accountability, is what we fear most.

Organic bean processor supplies Chipotle MERRITT TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — About a decade ago, Jim and DeAnn Sattelberg, co-owners of Everbest Organics, saw that the future of farming was in organics and decided to change course.

“We were conventional farmers that switched to organic,” Jim Sattelberg told The Saginaw News ( http:// bit.ly/1bTpOD0 ), “because of the growing market in organics for, especially, dry beans and soybeans.”

The couple owns Thistledown Farms, an elevator corporation that operates under the trademark Everbest Organics.

Everbest Organics contracts with farmers to grow organic and non-GMO, or non-genetically modified organism, crops that are then cleaned, processed and packaged for shipment to domestic and international markets. One of its fastest growing markets is Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG) , opening a new restaurant in Saginaw Township.

Chipotle Mexican Grill is expected to open next to Logan’s Roadhouse this year. Chipotle’s other Michigan locations include East Lansing, Lansing, Ann Arbor, Troy and Southfield.

The Sattelbergs, along with their sons Ben and Matt and their families, also own and operate Bay Shore Farms, which owns and rents land in Unionville and Moore Township.

Their new, about $5 million facility cleans, processes and packages a variety of dry beans and soon will be set up to do the same with soybeans. The beans come from 50 to 100 farms, Sattelberg said, including Bay Shore Farms.

Sattelberg said demand for organic food is growing.

And as Chipotle grows, so does its demand for organic beans.

“Because we’re such a good and big supplier for Chipotle, we can’t grow enough beans in this area (to meet its demand).

I’m buying beans in other states,” he said.

Organic Bean & Grain Inc., in Caro, also sells to Chipotle, said President Mark Vollmar.

Vollmar said both Everbest Organics and his company have sold beans to Chipotle for several years but only recently began washing the beans at their own facilities.

“Now we’re washing them right here in Michigan,” he said.

Vollmar agreed that the demand for organic food is growing.

“We’re having a difficult time, actually, keeping up with the demand right now,” he said. “We don’t have enough organic acres.

The demand is bigger than the supply.”

When the beans arrive at the Merritt Township facility, they are sorted by size, then by bulk density.

Another machine removes any remaining stones. An “electronic eye” scans the beans and sorts out any that don’t match the ideal. Some are washed, then dried.

Others go straight to packaging.

The soybeans and dry beans, which include black beans, navy beans, dark red kidney beans, white kidney beans and cranberry beans, are to be processed separately because of food allergies, Sattelberg said.

After the beans are packaged, some of them are sent to other facilities to be cooked and then sent to end users, such as Chipotle.

Some of the beans are sold to canners and brokers.

“This plant is capable of doing three truckloads in an eight-hour shift,” he said, noting that a truckload is about 42,000 pounds of beans.

Sattelberg said they bought the facility in 2011 and started processing dry beans there in May. However, there’s still work to be done to get soybean

processing going there. He expects the new soybean line to be ready by the end of the year.

The availability of the facility and the acreage that came with it were part of what drew the Sattelbergs to Merritt Township. In addition, the facility has tall ceilings that allow the sorting, washing and drying equipment to be stacked.

In the end, the project, including all of the equipment, will cost an estimated $5 million, Sattelberg said.

The facility brought jobs to the community.

Sattelberg said they have about 15 employees, including themselves, plus construction workers employed by the project.

Merritt Township Supervisor Dave Schabel said he’s glad to see the once-vacant building put to use.

“We’re just happy somebody bought it,” he said of the former cement factory.

“There’s not very much tax base out here.

“That was just sitting there empty, and they put millions of dollars in it.”

Members of the public were invited to tour the facility earlier recently, and at least 275 people showed up, Sattelberg said.

Nyad celebrates historic swim from Cuba to Florida KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) — Amid cheers, applause and whoops of joy Tuesday, Diana Nyad launched what promised to be a dayslong celebration of her 110-mile swim from Cuba to Florida — a record she finally set 35 years and four tries after her first attempt.

The 64-year-old swimmer appeared refreshed and invigorated less than 24 hours after she had arrived dazed and sunburned, with lips swollen and slurred speech, onto the shore at Key West.

Nyad, the first swimmer to make the grueling journey across the Florida Straits without a shark cage, told a news conference that the biggest challenge of the 53-hour swim this time around was high winds and swallowing large amounts of seawater, which she said made her vomit continuously.

“It was rough stuff,” she said.

Cracking jokes and gesturing energetically, Nyad heaped praise on the members of the team that accompanied her, from a young man who swam

She arrived at the beach just before 2 p.m. EDT, about 53 hours after she began her swim in Havana on Saturday.

This time around, she noted, currents, weather

and dangerous sea creatures all worked more in her favor. The jellyfish that had plagued her four previous attempts failed to appear until the final hours of her swim, which left her free to concentrate

on her stroke and time her breaths to limit the amount of seawater coming into her mouth.

To help her fight the jellyfish, Nyad wore a protective silicone mask that increased her salt water

intake and bruised her mouth, and a full-body “jellyfish suit” that weighed down her crawl strokes.

The swimmer was clearly thrilled that she had finally accomplished a dream she first acted on in 1978. She tried three times more in 2011 and 2012.

“It’s been a thrilling journey,” she said.

Asked what she would do to celebrate, Nyad said a party would begin at 7 p.m. Tuesday, “and I expect it to go 53 hours.”

tions. The president’s tweet echoed the sentiment Nyad has repeated many times when faced with defeat: “Never give up on your dreams.”

Nyad’s doctor, Derek Covington of the University of Miami and Jackson Memorial Hospital, said the swimmer was healthy and would not need a long time to recover from dehydration, sunburn and the swelling in and around her mouth.

“She was incredible to watch the whole way through,” he said.

Nyad leaped from the seawall of the Hemingway Marina into the warm waters off Havana on Saturday morning to begin swimming. She paused occasionally for nourishment, but never left the water until she reached the white sand beaches of the Keys and waded ashore.

The support team accompanying her had equipment that generated a faint electrical field around her, designed to keep sharks at bay. A boat also dragged a line in the water to help keep her on course as she kept up the strokes, hour after hour after hour. Along the way, her team said it spotted thunderstorms on the horizon and even reported on her blog that cruise ships made way for Nyad as she crossed busy ship lanes.

“I always thought she could do it given her internal energy, her mental and physical strength, her will of iron,” Jose Miguel Diaz Escrich, the Hemingway Marina commodore who helped organize the Cuba side of Nyad’s multiple attempts, said Monday after Nyad landed in Florida.

“More than the athletic feat, she wants to send a message of peace, love, friendship and happiness … between the people of the United States and Cuba,” he added.

Australian Susie Maroney successfully swam the Strait in 1997 with a shark cage, which besides protection from the predators, has a drafting effect that pulls a swimmer along.

In 2012, Australian Penny Palfrey swam 79 miles toward Florida without a cage before strong currents forced her to stop. This June, her countrywoman Chloe McCardel made it 11 hours and 14 miles before jellyfish stings ended her bid.

Nyad acknowledged on Tuesday that she was glad when McCardel didn’t make it before she had had a chance to, but she did add, to laughter from her team, that “I didn’t want her to get bitten by jellyfish or die or anything.”

Nyad also said that even if McCardel had accomplished the goal previously, she would have tried it again, anyway. Finally reaching the goal that had eluded her so many times before is now less about receiving awards and accolades, she said.

“When I was in my 20s, my ego got in the way,” she said, adding that now — even though she is happy to set a record and be feted publicly for it — when it comes to awards, “I just don’t care about it.”

In 1978, Walter Poenisch, an Ohio baker, claimed to have made the swim using flippers and a snorkel. Critics say there was insufficient independent documentation to verify his claim.

Nyad first garnered national attention in 1975 when she swam the 28 miles around the island of Manhattan in just under eight hours. In 1979 she swam the 102 miles from North Bimini, Bahamas, to Juno Beach, Fla., in 27.5 hours.

Nyad is also an author of three books, a motivational speaker and has been a reporter and commentator for NPR.

Egypt’s Sinai emerges as new theater for jihad

AP Photo In this image taken from video, Egyptian Army personnel supervise the destruction of tunnels between the Egypt and the Gaza Strip at the border near the town of Rafah, northern Sinai, Egypt, Tuesday. Tunnels between Egypt and the Gaza have been used to smuggle everything from weapons, to cigarettes and fuel but now the Egyptian military appears determined to close the tunnels once and for all.

tants had seen Morsi as too willing to compromise in bringing rule by Islamic Shariah law in Egypt. But his removal by the military, backed by liberals, was seen as an attack on Islam.

More importantly, it ended the policy Morsi pursued during his year in office of negotiating with Sinai armed groups, restraining security operations against them in return for a halt in attacks on the military.

Now, the military has stepped up operations. On Tuesday, helicopter gunships struck suspected militant hideouts in several villages near the borders with Israel and Gaza, killing at least eight and wounding 15 others, the state news agency MENA announced.

Since Morsi’s ouster, more than 70 police and soldiers have been killed by militants in a cycle of attack and counterattack that has seen jihadis turn to more brutal tactics. In the worst single attack, gunmen pulled police recruits from buses, lay them on the ground and shot 25 of them to death on Aug. 19. Days later, a group of militants was killed before carrying out a suicide car bombing in a significant escalation.

Over the same period, security forces have killed 87 militants — including 32 foreigners — and arrested 250 others, including 80 foreigners, according to the army spokesman’s office.

Hit-and-run attacks take place nearly daily in northern Sinai, targeting security forces in the provincial capital of el-Arish and towns dotting the coast and the borders with Gaza and Israel.

Two militants — a Yemeni and a Palestinian — who were recently arrested in Sinai provided information about Mawafi’s role while under questioning, the security officials said. Recently, Nabeel Naeem, a founder of the Islamic Jihad militant group who has known Mawafi since Afghanistan — said on an Egyptian TV station that Mawafi

“is leading the militants in Sinai.”

Mawafi specialized in bomb-making during his years in Afghanistan, the officials said. He also supervised clinics that treated wounded Islamic fighters, earning him the nickname “bin Laden’s doctor” — though Naeem said he never treated the late al-Qaida leader himself.

An Egyptian court in June last year accused Mawafi, along with members of Muslim Brotherhood group, including Morsi, of conspiring with Hamas and Hezbollah to orchestrate the 2011 break from Wadi Natroun prison. The court described Mawafi as “the

secretary general of al-Qaida in Sinai.”

The number of jihadi groups operating in Sinai’s rugged, mountainous deserts has mushroomed over recent years, believed to have thousands of fighters.

Some are mainly Egyptian, such as Ansar Jerusalem — thought to include Egyptians from outside Sinai — and the Shura Council of Mujahedeen of Environs of Jerusalem — which is mostly Sinai locals — and the Salafi Jihadi group.

Among Sinai’s population, there has been a growing movement of “Takfiris,” who reject as heretical anyone who does not adhere to their strict interpretation of Islam. While not

CAIRO (AP) — An Egyptian doctor once close to Osama bin Laden is bringing together multiple al-Qaida-inspired militant groups in Egypt’s Sinai to fight the country’s military, as the lawless peninsula emerges as a new theater for jihad, according to Egyptian intelligence and security officials.

There have been other signs of a dangerous shift in the longtime turmoil in the peninsula bordering Israel and Gaza since the military’s July 3 ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, the officials say. With the shifts, Sinai’s instability is becoming more regionalized and threatens to turn into an outright insurgency.

Sinai has seen an influx of foreign fighters the past two months, including several hundred Yemenis.

Several militant groups that long operated in the area to establish an Islamic Caliphate and attack their traditional enemy Israel have joined others in declaring formally that their objective now is to battle Egypt’s military.

Also, Sinai has become the focus of attention among major regional jihadi groups. Al-Qaida’s branch in Iraq last weekend called on Egyptians to fight the military, as did alQaida’s top leader, Ayman al-Zawahri. The militant considered the most dangerous man in the Sahara — one-eyed terror leader Moktar Belmoktar, a former member of al-Qaida’s North Africa branch — joined forces with a Malibased jihadi group last month and vowed attacks in Egypt.

Topping the most wanted list in Sinai is Ramzi Mawafi, a doctor who joined al-Qaida in Afghanistan in the 1990s.

Mawafi, 61, escaped from an Egyptian prison in 2011 in a massive jailbreak that also sprung free Morsi and more than a dozen Muslim Brotherhood members during the chaos of the uprising against autocrat Hosni Mubarak.

Mawafi is now believed to be in Sinai coordinating among militant groups and helping arrange money and weapons, security officials told The Associated Press. The four officials were from military intelligence, the military and the security forces and spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press.

Sinai’s disparate militant groups are now “on the same page, in full cooperation in the face of the same threat,” Gen. Sherif Ismail, a recently retired security adviser to the governor of Northern Sinai, told the AP. He said the groups are inspired by al-Qaida, but not necessarily linked to the mother group.

Morsi’s fall opened the way for an escalation by Sinai’s jihadis. Most mili-

THE MENUS

Al-Qaida in Yemen, known as al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, is considered the most active branch of the terror network.

The Egyptian officials say fighters have also come from Saudi Arabia, Libya and Syria.

The military intelligence official said commanders of jihadi groups are joining ranks with prominent Sinai-based militants who belong to major tribes to ensure protection and facilitate weapons smuggling. One of the most influential tribes, the Swarkas, has split between anti- and pro-government families.

An Egyptian military official in el-Arish said there are at least nine main training camps run by jihadists in Sinai, hidden in villages controlled by allied tribes or in mountainous regions.

Ismail el-Iskandarani, a researcher at the Egyptian Center for Social and Economic rights who writes extensively about Sinai, says it’s hard to pin down the number of militants or camps because local jihadis hide in homes among their own families after carrying out hit-andrun attacks.

“Even their relatives might not know they are involved in Islamic militancy,” he said.

all Takfiris are involved in armed action, their ideology makes them an easy pool for armed groups to draw from.

Other groups are based in the neighboring, Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, such as the Islam Army and Jaljalat, which are believed to send fighters into Sinai.

Some groups were oriented toward fighting Israel, occasionally firing rockets across the border.

Others carried out attacks on Egyptian security forces, usually in retaliation for arrests or out of the deep-seeded resentment of the police among Sinai’s population. In the aftermath of Mubarak’s fall in 2011, a group attacked police stations and drove security forces out of the border towns, declaring the area an Islamic Caliphate. Many of them were later tried and sentenced to death.

Now multiple groups are overtly calling for “jihad” against Egypt’s military.

Several hundred Yemeni fighters came in after Morsi’s ouster in response to religious edicts by clerics back home urging them to fight jihad in Egypt, according to a Yemeni security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the press.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, Sept. 5, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is the best day of the year to think about what you can do to improve your health. (That's because the New Moon is occurring in that part of your chart.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It's important to have balance in your life between playful, creative activity and work. Think about this today. Do you do things to express your creative impulses? Do you get enough play time?

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) What can you do to improve your home and also improve your relationship with your family members?

Today's New Moon is the best day of the year to think about this.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) We are social creatures, which is why clear communication with others is essential. Think about your style of communicating. Are you a good listener?

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) The New Moon today urges you to take stock of your assets. What do you own? What do you earn? What do you owe? Information is power. Get the picture.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Take a realistic look in the mirror and ask yourself what you can do to improve the impression you make on your world. Today's New Moon is in your sign, which is why you need to think about your image.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) The decisions you make every day accumulate to create your future. What are the parameters or guidelines that you use to make these decisions?

Think about this.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Wednesday, Sept. 4, the 247th day of 2013.

There are 118 days left in the year. Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, begins at sunset.

On this date: In 1781, Los Angeles was founded by Spanish settlers under the leadership of Governor Felipe de Neve.

In 1886, a group of Apache Indians led by Geronimo (also known as Goyathlay, "One Who Yawns") surrendered to Gen. Nelson Miles at Skeleton Canyon in Arizona.

In 1893, English author Beatrix Potter first told the story of Peter Rabbit in the form of a "picture letter" to Noel Moore, the son of Potter's former governess.

In 1917, the American Expeditionary Forces in France suffered their first fatalities during World War I when a German plane attacked a British-run base hospital.

In 1948, Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands abdicated after nearly six decades of rule for health reasons.

In 1951, President Harry S. Truman addressed the nation from the Japanese peace treaty conference in San Francisco in the first live, coast-to-coast television broadcast.

In 1957, Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus used Arkansas National Guardsmen to prevent nine black students from entering all-white Central High School in Little Rock.

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F PRS) (NYSE:F PRA) (NYSE:F) began selling its ill-fated Edsel.

In 1962, The Beatles, with new drummer Ringo Starr, recorded "Love Me Do" at EMI Studios in London. (The more familiar version with substitute drummer Andy White and Starr on tambourine was recorded a week later.)

In 1963, a Swissair Caravelle III carrying 80 people crashed shortly after takeoff from Zurich, killing all on board.

In 1972, U.S. swimmer Mark Spitz won a seventh gold medal at the Munich Olympics, in the 400meter medley relay. "The New Price Is Right," hosted by Bob Barker, premiered on CBS. (The game show later dropped the "New" from its title and expanded from a half-hour to an hour.)

Today's Birthdays: Actress Mitzi Gaynor is 82. Actor Kenneth Kimmins is 72. Singer Merald "Bubba" Knight (Gladys Knight & The Pips) is 71. World Golf Hall of Famer Raymond Floyd is 71.

Actress Jennifer Salt is 69. World Golf Hall of Famer Tom Watson is 64. Rhythm-and-blues musician Ronald LaPread is 63. Actress Judith Ivey is 62.

Prosecutors recommend Auschwitz guard charges

AP Photo In a Jan. 26, 2005 file photo, visitors walk under the notorious “Arbeit Macht Frei” sign at the entrance gate of the Auschwitz Nazi concentration camp in Oswiecim, southern Poland. The special prosecutors’ office that investigates Nazi war crimes said Tuesday it is recommending charges against dozens of alleged former Auschwitz guards, opening the possibility of a new wave of trials almost 70 years after the end of World War II. Kurt Schrimm, the head of the Ludwigsburg federal prosecutors’ office, said an investigation of about 50 alleged former guards turned up enough evidence to recommend that state prosecutors pursue charges of accessory to murder against 30 of them in Germany.

Rodman in North Korea to visit his ‘friend’ Kim PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — Former NBA star Dennis Rodman landed Tuesday in North Korea and said he plans to hang out with authoritarian leader Kim Jong Un, have a good time and maybe bridge some cultural gaps — but not be a diplomat.

Rodman was greeted at Pyongyang’s airport by Son Kwang Ho, vice-chairman of North Korea’s Olympic Committee, just days after Pyongyang rejected a visit by a U.S. envoy who had hoped to bring home Kenneth Bae, an American missionary jailed there. The North abruptly called off the official visit because it said the U.S. had ruined the atmosphere for talks by holding a drill over South Korea with nuclear-capable B-52 bombers.

Rodman said the purpose of his visit was to display his friendship for Kim and North Korea and to “show people around the world that we as Americans can actually get along with North Korea.”

Speaking to reporters in Beijing ahead of his flight to Pyongyang — his second trip to the North — Rodman declined to say whether he would seek Bae’s release.

Bae’s health is poor, and he was recently transferred to a hospital.

“I just want to meet my friend Kim, the marshal, and start a basketball league over there or something like that,” said Rodman, wearing rings through his lower lip and each nostril. “I have not been promised anything.

I am just going there as a friendly gesture.”

Bae was arrested in November and sentenced to 15 years of hard labor for what Pyongyang described as hostile acts against the state. Rodman once asked on his Twitter account for Kim to “do me a solid” and release Bae. Kim has the power to grant special pardons under the North’s constitution.

“I’m not there to be a diplomat. I’m there to go there and just have a good time, sit with (Kim) and his family, and that’s pretty much it,” Rodman said, adding that he planned to see Kim “pretty soon,” perhaps later Tuesday or Wednesday. Rodman is being hosted in North Korea by the Ministry of Physical Culture and Sport, which has not confirmed if or when Rodman will meet Kim Jong Un. Meetings between senior North Korean officials and foreigners are normally not officially confirmed or announced in advance.

Rodman first met Kim —

a die-hard basketball fan — during a visit in February to promote the sport and make a film. U.S. officials frowned on the trip for giving the young leader a propaganda boost.

In the weeks that followed, after U.N. sanctions imposed in early March over Pyongyang’s February nuclear test, North Korea threatened Washington and Seoul with nuclear and missile strikes and shut down an inter-Korean factory in the North.

Rodman, however, suggested “basketball diplomacy” could warm relations and said that Kim wanted President Barack Obama to pick up the phone and call him. He has called Kim an “awesome guy.”

Rodman’s trip comes as the rival Koreas pursue diplomacy meant to restart several cooperative projects that were scrapped as tensions rose in recent years, including the jointly run factory complex in the North Korean border city of Kaesong. While there is skepticism about Pyongyang’s intentions, the warming ties have been welcomed in Seoul.

Outside analysts have said Pyongyang is likely using Bae as bait to win diplomatic concessions in a standoff over its nuclear weapons program. North Korea denies this.

Pyongyang accuses Bae of trying to establish an anti-Pyongyang base in the North. Friends say Bae was based in a Chinese border city and traveled frequently to North Korea both as a tour operator and to feed orphans.

At least five other Americans have been detained in North Korea since 2009. The others were eventually allowed to leave without serving out their terms, some after clemency missions by prominent Americans, including former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.

Just this past weekend, a planned trip by Robert King, the U.S. envoy for North Korean human rights, fell through after Pyongyang said it couldn’t forgive the inclusion of U.S. nuclear capable bombers in recently concluded U.S.-South Korean military drills.

Talks aimed at getting the North to give up what’s estimated to be a small cache of nuclear devices, and involving the Koreas, the United States, Japan, China and Russia, collapsed in early 2009. Pyongyang says its weapons are intended to protect itself from a hostile Washington.

In Nokia acquisition, Microsoft tries to catch up SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Microsoft’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) acquisition of Nokia’s (NYSE:NOK) troubled smartphone business represents a daring $7.2 billion attempt by the software giant and a once-influential cellphone maker to catch up with the mobile computing revolution that threatens to leave them in the technological dust.

The deal announced late Monday offers both companies a chance to make up for lost time with a strategy to meld their software and hardware into a cohesive package, like rival Apple has done. But there are plenty of reasons to question whether the copycat approach will pay off.

Unlike Apple, Microsoft Corp. makes most of its money from software for personal computers — a stillprofitable franchise that has gradually been crumbling as smartphones and tablets supplant laptop and desktop machines. By some estimates, more than two-thirds of the computing devices being sold now are either smartphones or tablets, and there are few signs that trend will change during the next decade.

To complicate Microsoft’s transition, the Redmond, Wash., company is being led by a lame duck. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who negotiated the Nokia deal, recently announced plans to retire within the next year in a tacit admission that the company needs a different leader to blaze new trails.

The managerial limbo raises even more doubts about whether Microsoft will be able to turn Nokia’s phones into more effective weapons in a mobile-computing battle against devices powered by Google Inc.’s (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android software and Apple Inc.’s iPhone and IPad. “It’s a three-horse race, and Microsoft knows it needs to come up with a more welldefined plan for mobile devices to catch up,” said Darren Hayes, a computer science professor at Pace University in New York. “This was an essential acquisition for them.”

The Nokia deal didn’t go over well with investors who have already become weary of Microsoft’s largely fruitless efforts to evolve into something more than a PC-dependent company.

Microsoft’s stock shed $1.52, or 4.6 percent, to close Tuesday at $31.88. Nokia Corp.’s shares surged $1.22, or 31 percent, to finish at $5.12.

Nokia, a Finnish company, has seen its cellphone business unravel since Apple revolutionized the way people use handsets with the 2007 introduction of the iPhone. Nokia’s problems grew worse in 2009 after Google began giving away its Android software to smartphone makers, spawning an array of sleek, low-cost alternatives.

In an attempt to bounce back, Nokia lured Stephen Elop away from Microsoft to become CEO nearly three years ago. That move has not worked out well for Nokia’s shareholders. Even with Tuesday’s rally, Nokia’s stock remains about 40 percent below where it stood when Elop became CEO. Despite those losses, Elop has emerged as a candidate to replace Ballmer as Microsoft’s CEO. Elop is stepping down as Nokia’s CEO to re-join Microsoft, where he will oversee the company’s devices division. Nokia board Chairman Risto Siilasmaa will serve as the company’s interim CEO. Elop decided to abandon Nokia’s old operating system in 2011 in favor of Microsoft’s Windows system for phones.

That move established Nokia as Microsoft’s most important partner in the mobile device market. About four out of every five phones running on Windows are made by Nokia, according to the latest information from research firm International Data Corp.

Nokia accounted for such of large chunk of Windows phones largely because other manufacturers such as LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics and HTC have either been scrapping the system or de-emphasizing its use in favor of Android, said Forrester Research (NASDAQ:FORR) analyst Charles Golvin.

Microsoft still hopes to license its Windows software to other smartphone mak-

ers. In return, the company receives less than $10 in royalties for each Windows smartphone sold.

Although Nokia’s line of Lumia phones has received some positive reviews, they still have not won over enough fans to establish Microsoft as a formidable force in smartphones.

Phones running on Windows have 4 percent of the worldwide market, leaving them a distant third to Android-powered devices at 79 percent and Apple’s iPhone at 13 percent, according to IDC. “We know we need to accelerate. We’re not confused about that,” Ballmer told investors and analysts Tuesday. “We need to be a company that provides a family of devices.”

Microsoft is betting that it can develop a more appealing line of Windows phones if the hardware and software are more tightly wound together.

That’s a concept that propelled the success of Apple’s iPhone and iPad, whose operating systems are tailored specifically for those devices. Apple also maintains a rigid screening process for applications.

Hayes thinks Microsoft’s Nokia deal is also similar to Google’s $12.4 billion acquisition of Motorola (NYSE:MEU) (NYSE:MOT) Mobility Holdings, another struggling cellphone maker, completed last year. Like Microsoft, Google wanted to secure its own pipeline of mobile devices to serve as a showcase for its Android software and other online services.

Just like Google did with Motorola, Microsoft is also buying the rights to a portfolio of valuable mobile patents with the Nokia.

Microsoft’s purchase price consists of 3.79 billion euros ($5 billion) for the Nokia unit that makes mobile phones.

Another 1.65 billion euros ($2.2 billion) will be paid for a 10-year license to use Nokia’s patents, with the option to extend it indefinitely.

The money to buy Nokia’s smartphones and patents will be drawn from the nearly $70 billion that Microsoft held in overseas accounts as of June 30.

The deal with Nokia represents the second most expensive acquisition in Microsoft’s 38-year history, ranking behind an $8.5 billion purchase of Internet calling and video conferencing service Skype. Tony Bates, who ran Skype, is also regarded as a potential successor to Ballmer.

Although Google executives have insisted that they are pleased with Motorola Mobility’s progress, analysts say it’s still unclear if that deal will ever merit the steep price tag. Motorola Mobility has lost $1.7 billion under Google’s ownership so far.

Some analysts are worried about Nokia becoming a financial drag on Microsoft. If the deal closes by early next year, as Microsoft expects, the company will inherit 32,000 Nokia employees. That will represent a nearly one-third increase in Microsoft’s current payroll of 99,000 employees.

Microsoft believes Nokia will begin to increase its adjusted earnings during the fiscal year ending in June 2015. That projection hinges largely on Microsoft’s hopes to sell about 50 million Windowspowered smartphones annually. Reaching that goal will require a roughly 40 percent increase from the current pace of Windows phone sales, based on IDC’s second-quarter numbers.

Microsoft’s expansion into mobile devices hasn’t fared well so far. Last year, the company began selling a line of tablets called Surface in hopes of undercutting Apple’s iPad. The version of Surface running on a revamped version of the Windows operating system fared so poorly that the company absorbed a $900 million charge in its last quarter to account for the flop.

“This is a logical step, but it’s only a small step in the direction of having a more integrated approach to hardware and software,” Golvin said of the Nokia deal. “The challenge for Microsoft is how to provide everything that customers want in a clear and unified way, no matter what device that customer might be holding, whether it’s a phone, a tablet or an Xbox controller.”

PHOTO COURTESY OF NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY

Following his career at Troy High School, quarterback Tom Myers went on to become an All-American at Northwestern University.

While playing quarterback at Troy High School, Tom Myers put together more highlights than few ever had before or since.

It’s not the wins he led his team to or the records he piled up that Myers most remembers, however. In fact, the moment that sticks with him the most was one of the lowest points of his career.

“Unfortunately, while I had many positive experiences at Troy, the one that really sticks out is my sophomore year when we lost (14-0 in 1958) to Fairmont my sophomore year and ended Troy’s 32-game winning streak,” Myers said. “Coach (Lou) Juillerat was the best. He pulled me aside and let me know

This is the seventh in a series of 10 stories profiling the inaugural class of the Trojan Athletics Hall of Fame. The class will be honored before the Sept. 6 Troy High School football game, and again at a banquet Sept. 7

I hadn’t played well. I knew I had a dismal game.”

MYERS That loss served as a touchstone moment in Myers’ legendary career. It lit a spark under Myers that carried him to unprecendented heights in Troy history, All-America honors at Northwestern University and a spot in the inaugural class of the Trojan Athletics Hall of Fame.

“That really lit a fire under me,” Myers said. “I knew I could do better. I think that was a turning point in my career. Now I look at it as a positive thing.

Left speechless 19-3 run by Lebanon finishes off sweep of Troy

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com TROY — Win or lose, Troy volleyball coach Michelle Owen still typically can find plenty to say.

Tuesday’s match left her speechless.

A slow start put the Trojans down by two games quickly, but Troy began to turn things on in Game 3 and forced the visiting Lebanon Warriors to call timeout with the Trojans up 10-6.

From there, the Warriors won 19 of the final 22 points to close out a 25-14, 25-19, 25-13 sweep Tuesday at the Trojan Activities Center.

“I really have nothing to say. I really don’t,” Owen said. “They quit tonight. Flat quit.”

Much like Saturday’s matchup against Miami East, a 3-1 loss, the Trojans (3-3) started slow in the first game. Katie DeMao and Jillian Ross

KETTERING — After knocking off Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division rival Butler in dramatic fashion last week, the Troy Trojans entered Tuesday’s Firebird Invitational riding high.

They came back to earth a little bit.

The Trojans, as a whole, struggled during the 18-hole tournament at NCR Country Club, finishing 13th out of 17 teams with a 340 on the day.

“It was disappointing,” Troy coach Mark Evilsizor said. “This was a showcase for some of the best teams in the area, so we were disappointed with how we finished. This is definitely a setback.”

Connor Super turned in the best round for the Trojans with a 79. Dalton Cascaden followed with an 84, Kaleb Tittle shot 86, Matt Monnin shot 91, Grant Kasler shot 94 and Corey Smith shot 96.

“We just didn’t play well,” Evilsizor said. “When you play good courses like this, you’ve got to hit the ball on the fairway. And we didn’t do that.”

It was also meant to be a barometer for where the Trojans stood compared to teams they will see at the fast-approaching sectional tournament. One of those teams, Beavercreek, won the Firebird, while Tecumseh also finished ahead of Troy in the pack.

Second-half team

Trojans close out Hawks for 3-1 win

BY COLIN FOSTER Associate Sports Editor colinfoster@civitasmedia.com Troy has been a second-half team this year … much to the chagrin of coach Richard Phillips.

Tuesday was the same story.

After the Trojans couldn’t seem to get anything together in the first half, they responded with three second-half goals to put away Fairborn for a 3-1 victory at Ferguson Field in Troy.

“That match preparation before the game, I think they are a little too relaxed,” Troy coach

Richard Phillips said. “We need to be a little more focused in our preparation before the game. If we do that, I think we’ll come out with a better perspective on what we need to do. I think that’s part of it, and we just need to be ready when that whistle blows and we cross that line; we should be better prepared mentally and physically. We don’t want to wait for things as the game progresses on.

“We need to get on them early, and we did. We had a couple chances on them early, and we

Milestone win for Vikings coach in sweep Staff Reports CASSTOWN — Two state championships.

Three state appearences in total between two teams.

Miami East volleyball coach John Cash accomplished another historical feat Tuesday night as his Vikings routed Cross County Conference foe Mississinawa Valley in three games by scores of 25-9, 25-7, 25-9.

It was the 200th career victory for Cash, the coach who is also known for having a wide variety of Hawaiian shirts in his closet.

“I was pretty excited,” said Cash about his 200th career win. “It was pretty cool. One of my assistant coaches was there who was

there for my 101st win at Fairborn. It was pretty cool for a lot of people to be there and share the experience. I’ve had a lot of good kids over the years. The girls earned this for me tonight.”

For the Vikings, Allison Morrett had three kills, three aces, two digs and 13 assists, Sam Cash had nine kills, three aces and eight assists, Angie Mack added three assists and three digs, while Trina Current chipped in with three kills, two aces and one dig.

“We were very focused,” Cash said. “We executed very well. It was good to see us respond well coming off a big win against Troy Saturday. All in all, I thought we did the things well that we’re going to need to do in the long run.”

The Vikings are now 42, 2-0 in CCC play.

Milton-Union 3, Waynesville 0 WAYNESVILLE — Milton-Union overcame its own miscues Tuesday night to earn a sweep of Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division foe Waynesville, 25-20, 2515, 25-22.

“We kind of were battling ourselves tonight,” Milton-Union coach Bill Ginn said. “Waynesville wasn’t hurting us badly,

but we were really making more than our share of mistakes. We have to stop shooting ourselves in the foot.”

Kinsey and Katlyn Douglas each had eight kills to lead the Bulldogs (3-2, 2-1). Courtney Wion added five aces, Christine Heisey had 21 assists, Cloe Smith had eight digs and Kaitlyn Thompso had seven digs.

Milton-Union hosts Northridge Thursday.

Covington (1-4, 1-1) travels to Mississinawa Valley Thursday.

TC North 3, Bradford 1 LEWISBURG — Bradford was able to keep from getting swept Tuesday in Cross County Conference play, but TriCounty North still put the Railroaders away in four, 25-14, 25-19, 25-27, 25-18.

Haley Patty had seven kills, five assists and two aces for Bradford, Michayla Barga had seven kills, four aces and five digs, Mindy Brewer had six kills and Brooke Brower had 13 assists and six digs.

DC 3, TC 0 DAYTON — The Troy

Christian Eagles were competitive in the first two games Tuesday night in Metro Buckeye Conference action, but in the end Dayton Christian came away with a 25-23, 25-22, 25-14 sweep.

Shauna Davee had 18 blocks and Jenna Bullock had five assists for the Eagles.

“We played hard every game, we just made crucial mistakes where we needed a point,” Troy Christian coach MaryJo Weisenbarger said. “We are a young team still trying to learn and gel with one another.

“Being a first-time coach and this being our first conference game as a team, I am excited to see what the girls will bring the rest of the season.

Troy Soccer ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 just didn’t finish it. Then we started playing scrappy futbol and that didn’t work for us.”

Whatever Phillips said at half, though, must have worked.

Less than two minutes into the second half, Adam Witmer touched a pass to Nick Kleptz, who beaned a shot off the right side post and into the goal with 38:14 left.

Troy goalie Alex Williams made a big stop on a breakaway with 35 minutes left, but he wasn’t successful moments later when the Skyhawks scored to knot up the game at 1-1 with 29:30 remaining.

But it was all Troy from that point on.

Right after Fairborn scored, Kleptz assisted Witmer for a 2-1 lead.

Then with 27:27 left, Mitchell Evans scored an unassisted goal to put the Trojans up 3-1. Williams had back-to-back saves at the 24-minute mark and Fairborn never really threatened after that.

“It could have been a different game in the first half, but we kept them in the game in that first half, then we came out and played a much better second half,” Phillips said.

“We started sharing the ball a little bit. We had opportunities to finish and we did, and we also had opportunities to finish and we didn’t.

“But it was a much more determined in the second half, a much more team effort in the second half — and that’s what we want to do; we want to play 80 minutes of team futbol.”

Troy’s Adam Witmer (9) tries to head one in on a corner kick against Fairborn Tuesday.

Xenia, which was scheduled for Thursday in Troy, has been rescheduled for Oct. 3.

“We’re on a three-game win streak, but we’d like to play better than we are right now,” Phillips said.

“We go away to Greenville on Tuesday of next week.

We’ve got to do a better job of possessing the ball, we’ve got to do a better job of sharing the ball. We are capable of doing that … we just didn’t do it in that first half.”

Troy’s Andrew Bricker (15) takes a shot while Caleb Leibold (20) looks on during a game against Fairborn Tuesday at Ferguson Field in Troy.

Roles of Roby, Smith still uncertain at Ohio State COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State cornerback Bradley Roby thought long and hard last winter about whether he wanted to jump into the NFL draft or come back for his fourth season with the Buckeyes.

He decided to return.

Then a skirmish in an Indiana bar led to a onegame suspension.

Now the All-Big Ten performer is back with the Buckeyes as they prepare for Saturday’s game against San Diego State.

Coach Urban Meyer said it’s been a strange last nine months or so for Roby.

“Bradley Roby, who I have a lot of respect for, made a decision to come back. It was because he came in with a group of players and he wanted to finish (with them), which I think is very admirable,” Meyer said earlier this week. “He catches a lot of people in his ear, people saying, ‘You could have done this, you could have done this.’ I believe that he went through a little bit of a funk of buyer’s remorse or whatever.”

Meyer meant that Roby perhaps had second

thoughts about his decision to come back instead of taking a big paycheck as a high NFL draft pick. It’s a problem for a lot of kids who have to make that call after their third year in college. Many end up thinking back on what might have been instead of concentrating on what’s coming up.

Roby was charged with misdemeanor battery after an incident in Bloomington, Ind., when a bar bouncer said he was struck in the chest by Roby.

Eventually, the charges were reduced to misdemeanor disorderly conduct and will be dropped from Roby’s record if he stays out of trouble for the next year.

Roby has not spoken to reporters since his arrest.

But he apparently played an active role with the Buckeyes in the weeks leading up to last week’s 40-20 win over Buffalo in the opener.

Meyer stressed on Monday that there was no evidence that Roby did anything wrong.

“Once the (bar’s surveillance) videotape came out, (it was clear) there was no

Ohio State's Bradley Roby will return this week from a one-game suspension. assault, there was no battery, there was no, whatever,” said Meyer, who still elected to bench Roby for the opener for being in a situation he shouldn’t have been in. “But I think he learned a really strong lesson and he’s done everything we’ve asked him to

do, and I’m anxious to get him back on the field.”

From the sound of it, Roby hasn’t just sat around eating chips and watching soap operas.

“Football players at all levels, but certainly the great ones, they live to play the game,” Ohio State cor-

nerbacks coach Kerry Coombs said. “The great players don’t try to get out of practice, the great players don’t try to get out of working out, they try to find ways to get in. Last week, all week, (Roby) was in the office watching San Diego State film to prepare himself. He has treated his situation like a professional and he has worked hard to stay in shape.”

Backup tailback Rod Smith also returns to the lineup this week. He was suspended for the first game because of an unspecified violation of team rules that took place last January or February, according to Meyer.

The addition of the two fortifies an Ohio State team that is thin in the secondary and needs a big back like Smith. Whether both step right into the starting lineup or are eased back onto the depth chart will be determined in practice this week.

Armani Reeves started in place of Roby last week on the corner opposite Doran Grant. Reeves played hard but it became evident as the game went

on that Buffalo was picking on the youngster making his first collegiate start. He was called for a pass-interference penalty, was beaten on a couple of throws and went through the typical trials and tribulations of a young player who had never before been in on more than three plays in a game and suddenly participated in 68 defensive plays and 12 on special teams.

On a hot, humid day.

Now Reeves, Grant and Roby will vie for the two starting spots this week against San Diego State, which fell behind and was forced to call an uncharacteristic 67 passes in a 40-19 home loss to FCS school Eastern Illinois on Saturday night. “(Roby) was just being a coach, really, knowing he wasn’t going to be able to play the first game he was helping out myself, Armani Reeves and the young guys and basically the whole defense,” Grant said of Roby’s impact in practice a week ago. “He was still being a great leader. He was always there talking, giving us keys and clues of what we have to look for.”

Trojans

n Continued from page 13 combined for four kills and a block and Lauren Freed had two kills, but that was every last ounce of offense the Trojans mustered before falling behind 1-0.

Troy fought back in the second game, with Freed tallying four kills and Emily Moser adding three. The Trojans found themselves down as little as one point as late as 16-15, but a six-point run by Lebanon (6-1) — which won its fifth straight match — put that game out of reach, too.

And again like Saturday’s match, the Trojans showed even more fight in the third game. Two blocks and a kill by DeMao and an ace by Freed helped Troy along during a six-point run, and with the Trojans leading 10-6 Lebanon was forced to call timeout.

The Warriors ran off six straight points out of the timeout to go up 12-10.

A kill by Freed made the score 14-12, but the Trojans would not score another point of their own the rest of the way.

Lebanon went on another six-point run before a service error brought that to an end at 20-13, but then the Warriors scored five straight to finish off the match.

Freed led the Trojans with eight kills, 10 digs and two aces. Moser finished

Myers

with four kills and 11 digs, Ashton Riley had three kills and eight digs, DeMao had three kills and four blocks, Ross had three kills and three digs, Abby Brinkman had 19 digs and Leslie Wynkoop had 20 assists.

It was the second time this season that Troy, the defending Greater Western Ohio Conference tournament champion with designs on repeating, was swept by a GWOC opponent. They lost 25-17, 25-14, 25-17 to Centerville, which they beat last year in the tournament’s title match.

When asked which loss was more frustrating, Owen knew exactly what to say.

“This one,” she said. “Because Centerville is a much better team. And we played about the same in both, really.

Centerville’s serve is a billion times more aggressive. We didn’t feel like Lebanon served us very tough tonight, and we still couldn’t pass the ball well enough consistently.

“As much preparation as we put in and this is the outcome … it’s very frustrating.”

Myers also holds school records for passing touchdowns in a game (five touchdown passses, which he did four times in his career — against Belmont in 1959, in a 58-0 win over Stivers in 1960, in a 62-0 win over rival Piqua in 1960 and in a 52-0 win over Xenia in 1960), most touchdown passes in a season (28 in 1960 and 21 in 1959) and touchdown passes in a carer (61).

“I do think that’s amazing,” Myers said of still holding every school passing record. “I don’t want to sound critical, but records were made to be broken. But with Coach Juillerat, we ran a pretty wide-open offense. We ran shotgun and spread before a lot of college or pro teams were doing that. We really were pretty ahead of our time.”

Following a career that saw him earn AllOhio honors at Troy, Myers went on to play at Northwestern, where he wasted little time in making in impact.

Playing for coach Ara Parseghian, Myers earned the starting nod against South Carolina as a 19-year-old sophomore. He promptly completed the first 15 passes he threw, setting an NCAA record. The Wildcats got off to a 6-0 start and were, at one point in the season, the top-ranked team in the country. The Wildcats would finish the season 7-2. Myers was named an All-American following that season.

Myers would play two seasons in the NFL with the Detroit Lions.

Myers currently lives in North Carolina, but says he still has friends and family who live in the area — including “a brother who lives in that town a few miles up the road whose name we say out loud” — and said he gets back to Troy several times per year. He was inducted into the Northwestern Hall of Fame in 1991 and looks forward to this weekend’s Trojan Athletics Hall of Fame indcution.

“It’s truly exciting,” Myers said. “I kind of got wind that they were going to do something like this a few years ago, but I really wasn’t anticipating going in the first class. It’s fantastic.”

“I certainly can’t fault the effort of our team,” Paul said. “We decided to change our lineup around a little, and it almost worked.”

CINCINNATI (AP) — The dirt-smudged base leaned on the floor in front of Billy Hamilton’s locker.

An inscription in black ink noted the importance: “MLB Debut 9/3/13.”

Some debut!

The speedy outfielder who outran everything in the minors got his first stolen base in the majors on Tuesday night, and it decided a game with playoff implications. Hamilton swiped second and came around on Todd Frazier’s double in the seventh inning, sending the Cincinnati Reds to a 1-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.

“That’s my job — stealing in important situations,” said Hamilton, who had brown dirt on both knees from his hard slide into that keepsake base. “This was a real big situation — a pennant race.”

Hamilton set a professional record by swiping 155 bases in the minors last year. He got an ovation when he made his big league debut as a pinch runner for Ryan Ludwick, who led off the seventh with a single against Seth Maness (5-2).

As he went onto the field, manager Dusty Baker had a word.

“He said, ‘I need you to get to second base,’” Hamilton said. “I was like, ‘OK, I got you.’”

The 20,219 fans in the stands and everyone on the field and in the dugouts knew what was coming. Hamilton was about to test one of the tough-

est catchers in the game.

Could he outrun catcher Yadier Molina’s throw?

“We knew that this guy’s electric,” said Frazier, who was at bat. “I didn’t even know he was going. I saw it out of the corner of my eye and said, ‘Here we go, here’s the challenge.’”

After Maness threw to first three times, Hamilton took off and beat an offtarget throw from Molina, who rushed a bit.

“That guy’s the best,” Baker said. “He’ll throw you out. He was close to throwing Billy out there. The throw was a little high and wide. That’s what happens when you have speed.”

The Cardinals had watched video of Hamilton to get ready for his debut.

“He was just another baserunner,” Maness said. “We know he’s fast, but you treat him no different. Get the ball to the plate quick and make the throw.

“It was a bang-bang play.

That’s baseball.”

Hamilton scored easily on Frazier’s hit and got congratulatory slaps in the dugout.

“It was like we won the World Series there,” Hamilton said.

Homer Bailey (10-10) allowed only two hits in seven innings, retiring his last 14 batters. Aroldis Chapman threw four pitches that registered 103 mph while fanning the heart of the Cardinals’ order in the ninth for his 34th save in 39 chances, completing the two-hitter.

The Cardinals were shut

out for the third time in their last six games.

By taking the first two in the four-game series, the Reds snapped the Cardinals’ streak of winning seven straight series between the NL Central rivals. St. Louis is 10-7 against Cincinnati this season.

The head-to-head opportunities are dwindling.

Second-place St. Louis is a game and a half ahead of Cincinnati. The Cardinals host the division-leading Pirates for three games next weekend, completing their season series. The Reds play Pittsburgh six times in their last nine games.

The trio has been in a tight pack atop the division most of the season.

Currently, all three are in position to make the playoffs.

And now, the Reds have a new way to win a close game.

“Watching Billy run — I can watch that every day,” Frazier said.

They considered calling up the 22-year-old Hamilton last September, but decided he wasn’t ready. A year later, he made good on his first steal attempt and decided a game full of tough pitching and sensational defense.

Michael Wacha, the Cardinals’ top draft pick last year out of Texas A&M, made his fifth career start and blanked the Reds on three hits through six innings.
