Obama received an update Saturday afternoon from his chief of staff, Denis McDonough, on the administration’s latest outreach to members of Congress, the White House said.

Obama called a bipartisan group of lawmakers on Friday and was expected to make more calls this

weekend.

The days ahead represent one of the most intense periods of congressional outreach for Obama, who’s not known for investing heavily in consultations with Capitol Hill.

Kerry held talks in Paris with French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, and said a joint news conference that “this is not the time to be silent spectators to slaughter” and “this is not the time to allow a dictator unfettered use of some of the heinous weapons on earth.”

Tokyo to host 2020 Olympics TOKYO (AP) — Thousands of Tokyo residents cheered in triumph early Sunday after winning the race to host the 2020 Olympics, beating out rivals Istanbul and Madrid despite concerns about a nuclear plant leaking radioactive water.

Long considered a slight favorite, Japan’s capital defeated Istanbul in the final round of voting at the International Olympic Committee meeting in Buenos Aires.

Madrid was eliminated in the first round.

Even though it was 5 a.m., a gathering of 1,200 dignitaries and Olympic athletes crammed into a

convention hall in downtown Tokyo to celebrate the news. Cheers of “Banzai” filled the hall when the announcement was made that Tokyo had won.

“This is a credit to the efforts of the entire nation,” said bid ambassador Saori Yoshida, a three-time gold medalist in women’s wrestling.

“The chance to see the highest level of sport live is a great chance for everyone and as an Olympic athlete I’m thrilled with the result.”

Tokyo had been on the defensive in the final days of the campaign because of mounting concerns

over the leak of radioactive water from the tsunami-crippled Fukushima nuclear plant.

In the final presentation before the vote, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe gave the IOC assurances the Fukushima leak wasn’t a threat to Tokyo and took personal responsibility for keeping the games safe.

Thousands of residents celebrated at Komazawa Olympic Stadium, a facility that staged soccer matches when Tokyo last hosted the Olympics in 1964. Across town in the Shibuya entertainment district, late-night revelers marked the occasion

with cheers of “Nippon, Nippon.”

Tokyo’s bid to host the 2016 Games was hampered by lukewarm public support, but that wasn’t a problem this time.

Benefiting in part from Japan’s strong showing at the London Olympics, Tokyo had a 70 percent approval rating.

“As a mother, I am thrilled that this will give the youth of Japan the chance to experience the thrill and the excitement of the Olympics,” said Wakako Tsuchida, who won the gold medal in the women’s 5,000 meters at the 2004 Athens Olympics.

Vatican: 100,000 attend Syria peace vigil VATICAN CITY (AP) — Tens of thousands of people filled St. Peter’s Square for a four-hour Syria peace vigil late Saturday, answering Pope Francis’ call for a grassroots cry for peace that was echoed by Christians and non-Christians alike in Syria and in vigils around the world.

The Vatican estimated about 100,000 took part, making it one of the largest rallies in the West against proposed U.S.-led military action against the Syrian regime following the Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack near Damascus.

Francis spent most of the vigil in silent prayer, but during his speech he issued a heartfelt plea for peace, denouncing those who are “captivated by the idols of dominion and power” and destroy God’s creation through war.

“This evening, I ask the Lord that we Christians, and our brothers and sisters of other religions and every man and woman of good will, cry out forcefully: Violence and war are never the way to peace!” he said.

“May the noise of weapons cease!” he said. “War always marks the failure of peace, it is always a defeat for humanity.”

In Damascus, a few dozen Syrian Christians attended a service in the al-Zaytoun Church, joining Francis’ invitation for a global participation in the day of fasting and prayer and to oppose outside military intervention in the conflict.

Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregorios III Laham of Antioch and All East presided, saying most countries supported a political solution to the crisis in Syria and few wanted military action. “This is the start of the victory,” he told the Damascus faithful. “No to war. Yes for peace.”

Francis announced the day of fasting and prayer Sept. 1, alarmed at the acceleration of U.S. threats to strike Syria after the chemical weapons attack.

Egypt launches new assault against Sinai militants CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian helicopter gunships and tanks pounded suspected hideouts and weapon caches of Islamic militants on Saturday in the northern Sinai Peninsula in what locals say is the largest operation in the lawless region for years. Nine militants and two soldiers were killed during the raids, security officials said.

Officials say that the military is hunting hundreds of militants believed to be responsible for a series of attacks in the region they overran after the fall of autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011.

The militants, the officials say, belong to a num-

ber of well-known al-Qaida-inspired groups that seek the establishment of an Islamic Caliphate in northern Sinai, a region bordering Israel and the Gaza Strip.

Attacks in the region have increased following the July 3 military coup that toppled President Mohammed Morsi, an Islamist, prompting the military offensive.

Early Saturday, resident say they saw winding columns of trucks and armored vehicles pour into the area. Some said they hadn’t seen soldiers on foot in their villages in decades. Communications were jammed for hours, as authorities seized

control of two telephone exchanges.

Military helicopters hovered overhead in a dozen villages concentrated near two border towns of Rafah and Sheikh Zuweyid, security officials said. Airstrikes targeted shacks believed to be gathering points of militants, they said.

Soldiers later stormed homes searching for suspected fighters.

“Successive strikes are aimed at causing paralysis of the militant groups and cutting communications between each other,” a security official said.

“The offensive is carried out within a timeframe where there will be peri-

ods of calm for intelligence before resuming once again.”

“We aim for cleansing the whole region of militants and prevent them from coming back,” he added.

Other officials said two soldiers were killed in a nighttime attack by militants in the town of Sheikh Zuweyid in northern Sinai. The soldiers were there as part of the offensive.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to publicly brief journalists.

In a statement, Army spokesman Col. Ahmed Mohammed Ali said nine

suspected militants were killed on Saturday and nine others detained.

Earlier, another official said “dozens” were wounded in the Sinai offensive.

Conflicting casualty figures come from militants taking away the corpses of their comrades and treating their wounded, a security official said. Smoke could be seen rising from villages and troops set up a cordon to prevent militants from escaping as others combed the area, he said.

Troops arrested a number of suspected militants but others managed to escape to mountainous areas in central Sinai, an official said.

MUMFORD n Continued from page A1

“So, I looked at my husband and he nodded at me. So I told Marcus that all I asked was that one, they would be willing to have a farewell party for my beloved statue with pictures and Marcus said, “OK!” Then I told him that I wanted the statue to go on tour with him and they had to post pictures of him on stage so we could see him enjoying his new life.” Rose said the deal was sweet enough for Marcus Mumford who pro-

claimed, “Patty Rose! You have a deal!” Rose said she then was able to take pictures of her and her staff with the band in exchange for Chief Smokesalot.

Rose then said Mumford picked up the statue and threw it over his shoulder before loading it into a van to start his new life on tour. Rose said Mumford yelled at the passengers in the van, announcing, “Mates! Move over! Jeff is coming with us!”

Rose said Mumford, along with

band members, Winston and Ken, thanked Rose profusely for being hosts for their after party.

Rose said the band members “jammed” with members of the Eric Jerardi Band, as Mumford played drums and other band members played along with local band inside of the Troy bar. Rose said she apologizes to have had to ask patrons of the bar to leave early last weekend, but said it was an opportunity of a life time for her and her staff to host the

Grammy award winning band in her establishment.

Rose said she is currently looking for a “twin brother” to replace her beloved cigar store Indian and plans on naming it “Marcus.” For pictures of the Mumford and Sons’ band members at the Leaf and Vine, including photos of Marcus Mumford carrying out the cigar store Indian, “Like” the business on Facebook.

against Syria. Pryor’s stance puts him not only at odds with the president, but also Rep. Tom Cotton, his Republican rival in 2014.

A House vote is likely the week of Sept. 16.

A representative from the Syrian National Coalition, spokesman Khalid Saleh, was coming to Washington to meet with government officials and lawmakers.

Obama enters the fray having made some progress in his quest to win foreign support for a strike punishing Assad.

The president returned from Europe with a joint statement from nations backing “a strong international response to this grave violation of the world’s rules and conscience.”

His administration said the statement, signed by France, Saudi Arabia, Japan and others at the close of the Group of 20 economic summit in St. Petersburg, was a clear endorsement for the limited military action the U.S. has been contemplating for weeks.

Absent from the list was Russian President Vladimir Putin, a stalwart Assad ally and staunch opponent of a U.S. strike.

European ministers said in their statement Saturday that the available intelligence “seems to indicate strong evidence that the Syrian regime is responsible for these attacks.”

But European Union nations want the U.N. investigation to play out and hoped a preliminary report could be released as soon as possible.

But chief U.N. spokesman

Martin Nesirky said Saturday that “there will be no preliminary report” He said the report will go to the Security Council and other member states once the lab analysis is complete. “We are not saying when that will be, except as soon as feasible. This is a scientific timeline, not a political timeline.”

The Syrian government denies responsibility, contending rebels were to blame.

The U.S. citing intelligence reports, says sarin gas was used, and that 1,429 people died, including 426 children. The Britainbased Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which collects information from a network of anti-regime activists, says it has so far only been able to confirm 502 dead.

Obama acknowledged that the U.S. public mostly opposes a strike and that he may not persuade a majority of Americans.

But without a forceful response, he said, a fundamental global prohibition against chemical weapons use could unravel, emboldening other leaders with such weapons at their disposal and making the world more dangerous for years to come.

“We are the United States of America. We cannot turn a blind eye to images like the ones we’ve seen out of Syria,” the president said in his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday.

Recent surveys show intense American skepticism about military intervention in Syria, even among those who believe Syria’s government used chemical weap-

ons on its people. A Pew Research Center poll completed last week found 29 percent in favor of a U.S. strike, with 48 percent opposed and 23 percent unsure.

The administration’s lobbying effort including hosting lawmakers at the White House on Friday for classified briefings on evidence about the attack and on Obama’s proposal for a military response.

His new U.N. ambassador, Samantha Power, gave a speech at the Center for American Progress, a Washington think tank with close ties to the White House. Her predecessor at the United Nations, national security adviser Susan Rice, planned to discuss similar themes Monday in an address at the New America Foundation.

McDonough, was preparing to appear on the five major Sunday political talk shows.

McDonough, Kerry, Vice President Joe Biden and Obama were calling lawmakers to urge them to vote yes. On Sunday night, Biden was to host a dinner for a group of Senate Republicans.

Another bipartisan, classified briefing for Congress was scheduled for Monday, and McDonough planned to meet privately Tuesday with the House Democratic Caucus, whose support could be crucial as Obama faces opposition from House Republicans.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and the Democratic leaders in both the House and Senate have backed Obama’s call for a Syria strike, but it’s unclear how many in either party will join them.

Fabius said that “punishment is not at odds with a political solution. … Bashar Assad will not participate in any negotiation as long as he sees himself as invincible.”

Just back from a European trip, Obama is working to salvage a policy whose fate he’s placed in lawmakers’ hands.

His administration’s lobbying campaign culminates Tuesday, the evening before a critical vote is expected in the Senate. Obama will address the nation from the White House to make his case for military action.

Dozens of people opposed to Obama’s call for military action demonstrated outside the White House. Speakers chanting “They say more war. We say no war,” said the picket line marks a line Congress should not cross as it prepares to vote on the issue.

Obama left the White House during the protest, traveling by car to Andrews Air Force Base to play golf with three aides.

A passionate debate in Congress, which returns to work Monday after its summer break, already is underway.

On Wednesday, the first showdown Senate vote is likely over a resolution authorizing the “limited and specified use” of U.S. armed forces against Syria for no more than 90 days and barring American ground troops from combat. A final vote in the 100-member chamber is expected at week’s end.

Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas, running for a third term, said in a statement that “at this time” he can’t support action

a briefing by the Holy See foreign minister.

Francis appealed directly to world powers at the Group of 20 meeting in Russia, urging them this week to abandon the “futile pursuit” of a military solution in Syria and work instead for a negotiated settlement.

Bishops around the world joined Francis in the daylong fast and organized similar vigils in their home dioceses. In Francis’ native Argentina, human rights and religious groups held a vigil in Buenos Aires’ Plaza de Mayo and in cities across the country.

Vatican Radio reported similar initiatives were

taking place throughout Italy, in Cuba and elsewhere. Even the grand mufti of Damascus, who thanked the pope for his initiative in a letter earlier this week, invited Muslims to join the fast in solidarity.

Vatican officials have stressed that Saturday’s event was thoroughly religious, not political.

But the gathering nevertheless took on the air of an anti-war rally, with protesters holding up Syrian flags and banners in the square reading “Don’t attack Syria” and “Obama you don’t have a dream, you have a nightmare.” A few rainbow “Peace” flags fluttered

in the breeze.

But by the time the vigil got under way, the posters and flags had mainly disappeared as a more religious tone took over, with leaders from a variety of Christian and non-Christian denominations joining cardinals, politicians and ordinary folk for the evening of prayer, hymns and meditation.

“This is already a success, the fact that all of us are here, Hindus, Christians, Buddhists, atheists,” a Hindu believer named Anata said. Pilgrims “made an effort to fast, not to do many things, and come here from all over Italy and Europe. This is already a success.”

The pope entered the square from the basilica steps, foregoing his usual high-spirited drive through in his open car — an indication of the sobriety of the evening, which capped a day of fasting for the pontiff.

The peace vigil marked something of a novelty for the Vatican: Nothing of its kind has ever taken place in St. Peter’s Square, though popes past have participated in daylong peace prayers in places like

Assisi, known for its peace-loving native son and the pope’s namesake, St. Francis.

That’s not to say popes haven’t taken vigorous anti-war positions in the past: Pope Paul VI famously uttered the words “War never again, never again war” at the United Nations in 1965 as the Vietnam War raged, a refrain that has been repeated by every pope since. Pope John Paul II sent an envoy to President George W. Bush on the eve of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq urging him to stand down — to no avail.

Francis has condemned the use of chemical weapons in Syria, but has been careful not to lay blame on any one side, exhorting world leaders instead to focus on the plight of Syrian civilians and the need in general to end the violence.

Other church officials, both at the Vatican and in dioceses, have been more pointed in their criticism of any internationalization of the conflict, saying U.S.-French military strikes will only exacerbate the situation for civilians, particularly Christian minorities.

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Decatur (Ala.) Daily on the GOP’s future path: Many have seen the future of the Republican Party, and it poses a serious challenge for the GOP’s old guard, especially in states such as Alabama.

The future is people such as Stephanie Petelos, a University of Alabama student, president of the state’s College Republican Federation and, by virtue of that office, a member of the state’s Republican steering committee.

She remains on the steering committee after a failed attempt to remove her for not following the party line opposing gay marriage, which she appeared to endorse in a June interview.

Petelos acknowledged the obvious: Younger voters, including young Republicans, are much more likely to support gay marriage. Like it or not, it’s a generational sea change, and one that already is having an impact throughout the country, as a slim majority of Americans favors marriage equality.

Petelos’ tacit admission of the electoral realities facing the Republican Party was too much for some in the state GOP’s leadership, who increasingly tolerate no dissent, whether on immigration or abortion or marriage. …

The committee then reaffirmed its opposition to gay marriage, just so no one gets the wrong idea.

This was a preliminary skirmish.

Other battles within the GOP are coming, and gay marriage is one of them as young Republicans, who increasingly take more libertarian attitudes toward social issues, rise through the party’s ranks.

This could be an especially painful process for Republicans in the South, as Petelos’ experience demonstrates. Republicans could well be on their way to replaying the same sort of regional split that rocked the Democratic Party in the 1960s.

The civil rights movement split Democrats and ultimately turned a Democratic “solid South” into a Republican solid South. Like the Democrats before them, Republicans now risk becoming a regional party, dominating the South but nearly extinct elsewhere.

We know what the future looks like. The question is, will the GOP embrace it or run away?

Times-Picayune, New Orleans, on Sandy and storm safety: The report released in August by the Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force would sound very familiar to any Southeast Louisiana resident

who picks it up. The opening letter from task force chairman Shaun Donovan, the secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, could be describing the post-Katrina aftermath here in 2005: “Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast with incredible power and fury, wreaking havoc in communities across the region. Entire neighborhoods were flooded. Families lost their homes. Businesses were destroyed. Infrastructure was torn apart.”

The difference is that flooding here was due to levee breaches, and there it was from surge that swamped coastal communities and pushed a wall of water inland. Thankfully, far fewer people died last October in New York and New Jersey than did in Katrina.

But most of those who died in Sandy drowned and many of the victims were elderly, as in Katrina. …

In 2012, according to the report, 11 different disasters across the Unites States had losses exceeding $1 billion each. That list would include Hurricane Isaac.

According to Mr. Donovan, every $1 spent on hazard mitigation saves “at least $4 in avoided costs if a disaster strikes again.” So, helping communities rebuild to higher standards is in the government’s interest as well as residents’.

That is an argument for the federal government to put more money into those investments. …

Officials from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA and private lenders are working on a unified approach. If they come up with a sensible policy, rebuilding could be easier for storm victims in the future.

The Sandy task force also highlighted the inability for many residents in coastal New Jersey and New York to afford flood insurance under new rules Congress approved last year. As in Louisiana and along the Gulf Coast, some insurance policies are about to skyrocket to absurd levels unless FEMA or Congress intervenes.

Some sort of relief on flood insurance is essential. Thousands of residents in Southeast Louisiana and along the Gulf Coast rebuilt after Katrina with the approval of FEMA, and the rules are changing after the fact.

As the task force report shows, all of us who live along the coast face similar threats and challenges. If the Sandy task force pushes federal agencies and Congress to address those needs, we could all benefit.

THEY SAID IT “I still remember the picture in the paper. I had the ball on a sweep and some guy from Piqua got a hand on me — think it was No. 6. I gave him a stiff arm and broke free.

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

— Trojan Athletics Hall of Fame inductee Ryan Brewer, on his favorite memory from his football playing days at Troy High School

“I’m humbled by it.

Troy has always had a great tradition of athletics and I’m honored to be a part of the hall of fame.”

— Troy High School graduate Kami (Mathews) Gardner, on being inducted into the Trojan Athletics Hall of Fame

“I do think that’s amazing. 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.”

National sports just not my scene anymore It’s hard to pinpoint the exact moment or the exact cause, but at some point down the line I underwent a massive change.

A change in who I am at the core.

I don’t think I can really identify myself as a professional sports fanatic anymore.

I realized this over last weekend while my wife Mandie and I were out to eat. Our waiter came up, took a look at me and said “Oh, I don’t know if I can serve you with him wearing THAT jersey.”

Apparently, I had my battered old New York Mets jersey on — I barely ever notice what shirt I’m wearing day to day, I just grab the next one from left to right in line — and this guy was a Cincinnati Reds fan.

I laughed and said I haven’t paid the slightest bit of attention this year and couldn’t tell him even one thing about the team … and then I stopped and realized that I really hadn’t, couldn’t — and didn’t care.

He went on about how the Mets’ best pitcher was having Tommy John surgery, someone named Matt Harvey. I knew the Mets had a new stud pitcher, but I always thought his name was Steve.

It’s just weird to think about.

Major League Baseball has always been my favorite sport, the reason I began liking any and all other sports. When I was a kid, I would

clip out and save every Mets box to do with it, I don’t think it’s all that score in the local paper — and I pronounced. Closing in on a decade always hated it when the Mets went in the business, I don’t feel like on the West coast and their games being around sports all the time has were too late to get in (funny, I made me dislike professional sports. understand that a lot better now).

In fact, getting the chance to go This year?

TV. If you wanted to know who won a game, any game, or see the most fantastic plays of the night, you’d watch it. But now? You can watch “SportsCenter” for hours and hours — literally — and not see a single highlight or game result.

No, instead it’s the same overproduced, over-sensationalized “human interest” pieces run every half hour on the hour. It’s a terrible remix of “SportsCenter” clips turned into a song and played over and over again more than that awful “Blurred Lines” song on the radio. It’s the same talking heads sitting behind the same desk yelling at each other about whether or not Tim Tebow deserves a shot with someone in the NFL. Or whether or not Johnny Manziel should be punished for being a richy-rich-kid jerk. Or what LeBron James had for breakfast.

I hope, whatever it was, it made him throw up. Because every time I see Skip Bayless’ mouth open, I want to.

I’m not a fan of national sports anymore, but not because I’ve grown tired of them. It’s because of what the only real source for news about them has turned them into.

Sen. Mitchell lauds Penn State’s progress STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Penn State has made notable progress in its adoption of reforms meant to protect children from sexual predators like former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, the university’s independent monitor said in an annual report.

Former Sen. George Mitchell, Penn State’s athletics integrity monitor, issued his first year-end report late on Friday.

The university has implemented most of the 119 recommendations laid out in former FBI director Louis Freeh’s report last summer, Mitchell said. The NCAA required Penn State to adopt the recommendations as part of its consent decree with the university.

“The amount of resources, time and energy devoted to these efforts has been notable.

We have been impressed

by the professionalism of those leading this undertaking,” the report said.

The consent decree imposed a $60 million fine on the university, temporarily reduced its scholarships and banned it from postseason play for four years. It followed the release of Penn State’s scathing internal review, led by Freeh, into how school officials handled complaints about Sandusky’s behavior with boys in 1998 and 2001.

The family of late football coach Joe Paterno and others call the Freeh report deeply flawed and are suing the NCAA over the sanctions.

“While parties may continue to argue about the history that led to the Freeh report and the (consent decree), a consensus has developed that the principles of the heart of these reforms are best practices for the governance of any large uni-

versity,” Mitchell’s report said.

Despite finding that Penn State is making progress, Mitchell did not recommend that the NCAA relax the sanctions. Mitchell said Penn State still needs to upgrade security measures at some facilities, improve records retention, and correct campus “culture” problems.

“The favorable report is a significant milestone for us, but it does not represent the conclusion of our efforts,” Penn State President Rodney Erickson said in a statement.

Sandusky, 69, was convicted last year of molesting 10 boys. He is serving a 30- to 60-year prison sentence and has maintained his innocence. A state appeals court will hear arguments in his challenge to the conviction on Sept. 17.

SACRAMENTO, Calif.

(AP) — As a gigantic wildfire in and around Yosemite National Park entered its fourth week Saturday, environmental scientists moved in to begin assessing the damage and protecting habitat and waterways before the fall rainy season.

Members of the federal Burned Area Emergency Response team were hiking the rugged Sierra Nevada terrain even as thousands of firefighters still were battling the blaze, now the third-largest wildfire in modern California history.

Federal officials have amassed a team of 50 scientists, more than twice what is usually deployed to assess wildfire damage. With so many people assigned to the job, they hope to have a preliminary report ready in two weeks so remediation can start before the first storms, Alex Janicki, the Stanislaus National Forest BAER response coordinator, said.

Team members are working to identify areas at the highest risk for erosion into streams, the Tuolumne River and the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, San Francisco’s famously pure water supply.

The wildfire started in the Stanislaus National Forest on Aug. 17 when a hunter’s illegal fire swept out of control and has burned 394 square miles of timber, meadows and sensitive wildlife habitat.

It has cost more than $89 million to fight, and

officials say it will cost tens of millions of dollars more to repair the environmental damage alone.

About 5 square miles of the burned area is in the watershed of the municipal reservoir serving 2.8 million people - the only one in a national park.

“That’s 5 square miles of watershed with very steep slopes,” Janicki said “We are going to need some engineering to protect them.”

So far the water remains clear despite falling ash, and the city water utility has a six month supply in reservoirs closer to the Bay Area.

The BAER team will be made up of hydrologists, botanists, archeologists, biologists, geologists and soil scientists from the U.S. Forest Service, Yosemite National Park, the Natural Resource Conservation and the U.S. Geological Survey.

The team also will look at potential for erosion and mudslides across the burn area, assess what’s in the path and determine what most needs protecting.

“We’re looking to evaluate what the potential is for flooding across the burned area,” said Alan Gallegos, a team member and geologist with the Sierra National Forest. “We evaluate the potential for hazard and look at what’s at risk — life, property, cultural resources, species habitat.

Then we come up with a list of treatments.”

In key areas with a high potential for erosion ecolo-

gists can dig ditches to divert water, plant native trees and grasses, and spray costly hydro-mulch across steep canyon walls in the most critical places.

Fire officials still have not released the name of the hunter responsible for starting the blaze. On Friday Kent Delbon, the lead investigator, would not characterize what kind of fire the hunter had set or how they had identified the suspect.

“I can say some really good detective work out there made this thing happen,” he told the Associated Press.

Delbon said the Forest Service announced the cause of the fire before being able to release details in order to end rumors started by a local fire chief that the blaze ignited in an illegal marijuana garden.

Freeh: Possible corruption in BP claims handling NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A former FBI director recommended Friday that the Justice Department investigate whether several lawyers plotted to corrupt the settlement program designed to compensate victims of BP’s 2010 Gulf oil spill.

But the independent probe led by Louis Freeh didn’t find any evidence of wrongdoing by the multibillion-dollar settlement’s court-appointed administrator, who has been a target of BP’s increasingly aggressive campaign to challenge payouts to Gulf Coast businesses.

Freeh, who was appointed by a federal judge to investigate alleged misconduct by a staff attorney who worked on the settlement program, cleared claims administrator Patrick Juneau of engaging in any “conflict of interest, or unethical or improper conduct.”

The report also found nothing that warranted shutting down payments to victims of the oil spill, which spewed millions of gallons of oil into the water, fouling marshes, fisheries and beaches from Louisiana to Florida.

However, Freeh concluded that then-top members of Juneau’s staff engaged in conduct that was improper, unethical and possibly criminal. He recommended that his report be forwarded to the Justice Department.

“The nature and seriousness of this type conduct varied in degree but was pervasive and, at its extreme, may have constituted criminal conduct,” the report said.

Freeh’s probe also isn’t over. His report said his work is “ongoing” and will result in recommendations for strengthening the settlement program’s operations and anti-fraud measures.

Juneau said Freeh’s report validates his team’s work, and he played down the alleged misconduct by two former members of his staff as an “isolated situation.”

“We will continue the job of processing claims,” he said in a statement.

“We welcome the recommendations from the Freeh report and we look forward to working with him to help improve all aspects of the claims process.”

BP spokesman Geoff Morrell said the report “confirms what BP has suspected for some time: there has been fraud and unethical conduct within the facility itself and among various claimants and their lawyers —and immediate steps need to be taken to prevent it in the future.”

“The evidence of conflicts of interest and misconduct assembled in Judge Freeh’s report is shocking, but it simply underscores that neither

BP nor the public has had any idea of what’s really going on within the (settlement program),” Morrell said.

“Judge Freeh’s continued investigation is essential to assuring public confidence in the integrity of the claims process.”

Two of the lead plaintiffs’ lawyers who brokered the settlement with BP last year said Freeh’s report “confirmed what we knew to be true all along: that Patrick Juneau has, for more than a year, led the Court-Supervised Settlement Program with integrity, transparency and objectivity.”

“It is a testament to Mr. Juneau’s running of the program that Judge Freeh’s recommended that the Settlement Program continue paying claims unabated, with Juneau at the helm,” the attorneys, Stephen Herman and Jim Roy, said in a statement.

While the report cites certain conduct within the program as problematic, Freeh said, “this should not prevent the (settlement program) from fairly and efficiently processing and paying honest and legitimate claims in a timely manner.”

It also found that two private attorneys — Glen Lerner and Jon Andry — used Lionel Sutton, then a lawyer on Juneau’s staff, to expedite a claim by their firm for nearly $8 million. In return, Sutton received more than $40,000 in fees from payments on claims he had referred to their law firm before joining Juneau’s staff, the report says.

Freeh recommended turning over his report to the Justice Department and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Louisiana to determine whether Sutton, Lerner, Andry or Sutton’s wife Christine Reitano, who also worked

Former FBI Director Louis Freeh leaves Federal Court after meeting with U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier,who appointed Freeh to investigate alleged misconduct by a lawyer who helped run BP’s multibillion-dollar settlement fund, in New Orleans. Freeh recommended Friday that the Justice Department investigate whether several lawyers plotted to corrupt the settlement program designed to compensate victims of BP’s 2010 Gulf oil spill.

as a lawyer on Juneau’s staff, violated any federal laws “regarding fraud, money laundering and conspiracy.”

Freeh also recommended that the court consider disallowing the $7.9 million payment of The Andry Law Firm claim based on “long-held principles of equity which prohibit a party before the court to benefit and enrich itself after having engaged in dishonest, unethical and improper conduct.”

“In this matter, the conduct of The Andry Law Firm is particularly egregious,” the report said.

“In effect, Mr. Jon Andry’s AndryLerner firm was making secret, improper payments to Mr. Sutton at the precise time Mr. Sutton was a senior CAO attorney, working in concert with Mr. Jon Andry to expedite payment of The Andry Law Firm claim.”

Michael Walsh, an attorney for Lionel Sutton, said Freeh’s allegations about his client’s conduct possibly warranting a criminal investigation are “absolutely unfounded.”

“There was no criminal activity on Mr. Sutton’s part,” Walsh said. “If Mr. Sutton had done anything criminally wrong, he would not have cooperated with Mr. Freeh.”

James Cobb, a lawyer for Andry, said his client hasn’t done anything wrong and doesn’t deserve to be smeared by Freeh.

“It appears to me that Mr. Freeh reached a conclusion first and then worked his way backwards, citing facts which are unsupported in the record,” Cobb said.

Lawyers for Lerner and Reitano didn’t immediately respond to emails seeking comment.

Sutton resigned from his job at the settlement program in June. Reitano was fired later the same month. She has demanded to be reinstated, saying she didn’t do anything wrong.

BP had asked U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier to suspend all settlement payments to businesses and residents pending the outcome of Freeh’s investigation, but the judge denied that request on two separate occasions.

In April 2010, the oil drilling rig Deepwater Horizon exploded off the Louisiana coast, killing 11 workers and triggering the massive oil spill.

BP set up a compensation fund for individuals and businesses hurt by the spill and committed $20 billion. Juneau took over the processing of claims after the settlement was reached last year.

Many vets’ caregivers cut out from federal benefit WASHINGTON (AP) — John Thomas Doody was in a coma and on a ventilator, but his mom refused to follow a doctor’s advice and put the Iraq war veteran in a nursing home.

Chris Ott quit her job, moved the family to Tampa, Fla., so her son, known as J.T., could be near the Veterans Affairs hospital. She spends most of her waking hours trying to meet his many needs.

He was shot while serving with the Marines in Fallujah and suffered an infection and series of strokes during his recovery. She says he’s paralyzed and nearly blind but has made dramatic improvement over the years.

To ease the financial burden, Ott relies on a relatively new federal program that pays her a stipend of about $2,000 per month, trains her on how to care for J.T. and provides at least 30 days of respite care each year.

Once every three months, a VA inspector comes by her house to check on her and J.T. “Now, I can still love him and hug him and kiss him and talk to him and laugh with him. Oh yeah, I still have my son,” she said.

The extra help has eased one family’s financial hardship. Yet there’s a question of fairness. For every family receiving the caregiver benefit, many more make do without.

For example, Pauline King of Anna, Ill., is not eligible for the stipend even though her husband, Jerry, a Vietnam veteran, needs help with bathing,

Chris Ott, right, helps her son, former Marine John Thomas Doody. J.T., who was shot while serving in Fallujah, Iraq, subsequently suffering an infection and a series of strokes that left him in a coma and relying on a ventilator to survive, Tuesday in Riverview, Fla. The Department of Veterans Affairs said Wednesday it supports expanding an enhanced caregivers benefit for grievously wounded veterans but only if Congress comes up with the billions needed to fund it.

This photo taken Aug. 30, shows Jerry King, 63, holding onto his wife, Pauline, 59, as she lifts him into his wheel chair at their home in Anna, Ill. Jerry is a Vietnam Veteran who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1978.The disease, which results in the loss of muscle control and balance, was determined by the Department of Veterans Affairs to be service-connected.

dressing and going to the bathroom as a result of multiple sclerosis.

When lawmakers created the program in 2010, it limited participation to veterans who had served since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

King said the move to exclude Vietnam veterans shows “they’re still not paying attention” in Congress.

Cost was a factor on Capitol Hill. The caregivers for veterans from earlier wars can get some help from the VA, such as counseling and a lesser amount of respite care, but no monthly stipend.

Ordered by Congress to study the feasibility of expanding the program, the Department of

make cuts and furlough workers, the prospects of adding billions of dollars to the VA budget seems unlikely. The VA thus far has been exempted from the mandatory cuts, known as sequestration.

Still, in July, the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee passed a bill that would expand the program to veterans from all eras. The bill also increased the types of injuries and illnesses that would qualify a veteran’s caregiver for extra assistance. Any veteran with a “serious-service connected disability” who needed help with basic activities of daily living would qualify.

But concerns about cost will be difficult to overcome. Currently, about

Veterans Affairs expressed reservations in a report Wednesday, projecting the cost at between $1.8 billion and $3.8 billion in the first year alone. The VA estimated that an additional 2,000 full-time workers would need to be in place to handle the workload of an expanded program.

“VA believes the expansion of benefits to caregivers of eligible veterans of all eras would make the program more equitable,” the agency said in a statement. “Unfortunately, core health care services to veterans would be negatively impacted without the additional resources necessary to fund the expansion.”

Given tight budget times, with most federal agencies already forced to

11,000 caregivers are enrolled in the program.

The Congressional Budget Office estimated that an additional 70,000 caregivers would participate by 2016 if the bill, sponsored

by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., becomes law.

GOP Rep. Jeff Miller of Florida, chairman of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee, said the intent of the Senate legislation is admirable. But he said the VA has trouble overseeing the current population of beneficiaries.

The Wounded Warrior Project agrees with Miller.

The advocacy group was instrumental in pushing Congress for the enhanced benefit for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. The group says improvements

are needed before the VA expands the programs. For example, it says the VA set what it called unduly strict participation criteria for veterans with mental health conditions. The appeals process is inadequate, the group adds.

The VA needs to resolve “these long-standing concerns as a pre-condition to extending the promise of this law to caregivers of pre-9/11 veterans,” the group said in testimony on Sanders’ bill.

But other groups say it’s simply not right to treat one generation of veterans differently from others.

“It’s a matter of fairness.

It’s a matter of principal,” said Adrian Atizado, assistant legislative director for Disabled American Veterans. “We leave no one behind in the military.

That is no one, no matter when they served or what branch of service.”

Organizations such as Vietnam Veterans of America and Disabled American Veterans were instrumental in securing the study released Wednesday.

Jerry King is one preSept. 11 veteran who could use the extra help.

He was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1978.

The VA determined that the disease, which results in the loss of muscle control and balance, was service-connected.

“The care is a lot. When you’re taking care of a home, when you’re taking care of your family, that’s your day. You do not sit down and watch TV. You do not sit down and read a magazine,” his wife said.

NASA launches robotic explorer to moon

By The Associated Press

NASA’s newest robotic explorer rocketed into space late Friday in an unprecedented moonshot from Virginia that dazzled sky watchers along the East Coast.

But the LADEE spacecraft quickly ran into equipment trouble, and while NASA assured everyone early Saturday that the lunar probe was safe and on a perfect track for the moon, officials acknowledged the problem needs to be resolved in the next two to three weeks.

S. Peter Worden, director of NASA’s Ames Research Center in California, which developed the spacecraft, told reporters he’s confident everything will be working properly in the next few days.

LADEE’s reaction wheels were turned on to orient and stabilize the spacecraft, which was spinning too fast after it separated from the final rocket stage, Worden said. But the computer automatically shut the wheels down, apparently because of excess

current. He speculated the wheels may have been running a little fast.

Worden stressed there is no rush to “get these bugs ironed out.”

The LADEE spacecraft, which is charged with studying the lunar atmosphere and dust, soared aboard an unmanned Minotaur rocket a little before midnight from Virginia’s Eastern Shore.

“Godspeed on your journey to the moon, LADEE,” Launch Control said.

Flight controllers applauded and exchanged highfives following the successful launch. “We are headed to the moon!” NASA said in a tweet.

It was a change of venue for NASA, which normally launches moon missions from Cape Canaveral, Fla. But it provided a rare light show along the East Coast for those blessed with clear skies.

NASA urged sky watchers to share their launch pictures through the website Flickr, and the photos and sighting reports quickly poured in from New York City, Boston, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, New Jersey, Rhode Island, eastern Pennsylvania and Virginia, among other places.

The Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer or LADEE, pronounced “LA’-dee,” is taking a roundabout path to the moon, making three huge laps around Earth before getting close enough to pop into lunar orbit.

The ‘Cross’, left, intersecting steel beams found in the rubble of 6 World Trade Center and a fragment of a trident column, center, one of 84 that formed the exterior structure of each tower are displayed during a media tour of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum Friday in New York. Construction is racing ahead inside the museum as the 12th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks draws near. Several more large artifacts have been installed in the cavernous space below the World Trade Center memorial plaza.

Sept 11 Museum putting hallowed artifacts in place NEW YORK (AP) — Far below the earth where the twin towers once stood, a cavernous museum on hallowed ground is finally nearing completion.

Amid the construction machinery and the dust, powerful artifacts of death and destruction have assumed their final resting places inside the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

A vast space that travels down to the bedrock upon which the towers were built, the museum winds its way deeper and deeper underground, taking visitors on a journey to the very bottom.

Already on display are several pieces of mangled steel and metal recovered from the World Trade Center towers, each one telling a different story of the terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.

The first relics that visitors will see are two massive pieces of structural steel that rose from the base of the North Tower.

Now the rusty red columns soar above ground into the sunlit glass atrium that encloses the entrance to the museum.

“They’re so large — about 70 feet tall — that we built the museum around them,” explained Joseph Daniels, president of the memorial and museum.

Down a long ramp, visitors will peer down to glimpse the last piece of steel removed from ground zero in 2002, which sits inside a gaping silvery chamber that drops to the lowest level of the museum.

Further down the ramp, visitors will discover a mangled and twisted piece of steel that Daniels calls “impact steel.” That’s because this piece of the building was actually destroyed by the impact of Flight 11 slamming into the North Tower.

“You can see how, at the bottom, the columns are bent back,” Daniels said.

“That’s because Flight 11’s nose, when it pierced

the building, it bent steel like that.”

Perhaps the most chilling part of the museum, in its current form, is a battered staircase that leads down to bedrock, where the exhibits will be displayed. Sandwiched between an escalator and a staircase that will be used by museum visitors, the “survivor’s stairs” provided an escape route for hundreds of people who fled from the towers on Sept. 11, 2001.

“You’re literally following the same pathway that hundreds followed on 9/11 to survival, to safety,” said museum director Alice Greenwald. “In some respects, what we’re saying to our visitors is, we all live in a world now that was defined by this event. And in that sense, we’re all survivors of 9/11.”

There are more relics, some of them shrouded in plastic or white drapery, awaiting their public debut: The “flag steel” shaped

like a ribbon that resembled a flag blowing in the breeze. The T-shaped steel column and crossbeam that became known as the “World Trade Center cross,” a piece of the rubble that became a symbol of hope to hundreds of recovery workers.

The fire truck from Engine Company 21, whose cab was destroyed while the rest of the truck remained intact.

When completed in the spring, the museum will transport people through time from events leading to the 9/11 attacks all the way to the current events of today. And even when its doors open, the museum will always remain a work in progress.

“This is a museum, I like to say, that’s not about answers,” Greenwald said. “It’s a museum about questions. And we end with questions, and we then invite the public to participate in that dialogue.”

Couple shares love of spicy food HANDY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Matt Blauer and Mandy Tefft are making the world a hotter place one bottle at a time.

The husband-and-wife team have been making and selling Papa Turts hot sauce since early 2011.

The seeds of the business were planted with their love of spicy foods and an abundance of peppers in the garden at their rural home near Fowlerville in Handy Township.

“We had all this land, so we planted a big garden and put in a bunch of chili peppers,” Blauer told the Livingston County Daily Press & Argus (http:// bit.ly/1dIITcM ). “We got a lot more than we bargained for.”

The solution was for Blauer to turn the peppers into hot sauce.

“I messed around with it for a while. Everybody liked it and said I should try and market it,” Blauer said. “It took a long period of trial and error to get the recipe where I wanted it.”

Papa Turts — the name is a play off Blauer’s high school nickname, Turtle, and his becoming a father — makes two varieties of sauce: So Hot It Hurts and Smoked Peppa. The sauce is available in nearly 30 stores and restaurants, and it can be ordered online.

Tefft says the hot sauce is popular at Olden Days Cafe in Fowlerville, where diners often drizzle it over breakfast items such as eggs and potatoes.

“We put it on everything,” she said.

“The So Hot It Hurts is hot, but not so hot that you can’t taste anything else. It adds to your food instead of overpowering your food. We put it on pizza. We use it in deviled eggs and Bloody Marys.

“I like the (Smoked Peppa) on lasagna and spaghetti,” she added.

Tefft says her husband is an “awesome cook,” and he often posts reci-

Mandy Tefft and Matt Blauer apply labels to Papa Turts Hot Sauce in their Handy Township, Mich., home. The husband-and-wife team have been making and selling Papa Turts hot sauce since early 2011. pes that incorporate the sauce on Papa Turts’ Facebook page.

“We recently did a spicy tuna melt recipe online that is amazing,” Tefft said.

Creating a commercial kitchen to make the sauce in the basement of their home required a financial investment of a couple of thousand dollars and approval from the Michigan Department of Agriculture.

“We had to tear up the carpet, put in a triple sink and a hand-washing sink, and put up a curtain and epoxy the floor. We put a vent in, too,” Tefft said.

While the idea for the sauce originally grew from their own garden,

the couple rely on other sources for their produce. They get most of their habanero peppers from Wilczewski Greenhouses in Oceola Township.

“It’s two local businesses helping each other,” Tefft said.

Blauer said each batch of So Hot It Hurts sauce — about 120 5-ounce bottles — requires 16 pounds of habanero peppers and nearly 2 pounds of dried arbol chiles, as well as some roasted carrots. The peppers need to cook down for about 90 minutes.

Blauer later uses a wooden stick to skim off the skins and seeds.

“It’s a real hands-on process,” he said.

For the Smoked Peppa sauce,

Blauer uses chipotle peppers as well as tomato paste.

After the sauce is made, it’s bottled, sealed and labeled by hand.

“We learned pretty quick that places don’t want to sell it if it doesn’t have a bar code on it,” Tefft said.

“So we went to Buyabarcode.com and purchased bar codes. Some stuff we’ve just had to wing it and learn as we go along.”

Fans of the sauce can even have custom labels made for the bottles.

Hometown Bicycles in Brighton created its own label and sells the hot sauce in its store. Papa Turts has also had personalized labels designed and printed for special events such as

weddings and bachelor parties.

Blauer, 40, and Tefft, 37, have two children, ages 11 and 4. Tefft, a 1994 Fowlerville High School graduate, keeps busy as a stay-at-home mom while working to grow the sauce business. Blauer, who grew up in the Detroit suburb of Huntington Woods, is a FedEx (NYSE:FDX) driver who owns his own route.

While attending college in Kalamazoo, they met at Bell’s Brewery. The brewery recently began selling Papa Turts sauces, which Tefft called “very exciting.”

Blauer works 10- to 12-hour days, leaving only the weekends for making his namesake sauce.

“When I first started, I’d make a batch every couple of months. Now, I’m working at it one full day every weekend,” he said.

The couple think about the day when Papa Turts can become their full-time occupations and Blauer can sell his FedEx route.

“We’re not quite ready to do that just yet,” Blauer said. “Slowly, over time, I may do less FedEx and more hot sauce until one day I’ll be doing hot sauce full time.”

Tefft said they “broke a little more than even” on the sauce business in 2012, and she’s sure they will do even better this year. When her youngest child starts preschool in the fall, she hopes to have more time to dedicate to Papa Turts. She also plans to revamp the Papa Turts website, where sales currently require a PayPal account.

“We don’t take credit cards, and I think some people just don’t like PayPal,” Tefft said. “When our website gets better and we show up in more searches, we can get the credit card thing going.”

Still, they count people from as far away as California and Texas among their loyal customers.

Australian opposition leader Tony Abbott, third left, and his daughters Frances, left, Louise, second right, and Bridget, right, and his wife Margaret, second left, come to the stage to celebrate his election victory in Sydney Saturday, following his win in Australia’s national election.

Conservatives sweep to Australia election victory CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s “unelectable” and gaffeprone political leader, Tony Abbott, confounded critics Saturday by becoming the country’s latest prime minister, leading the opposition to a sweeping election victory and ending six years of Labor Party rule.

Abbott, the leader of the conservative Liberal Partyled coalition, rode a wave of public bitterness over a hated carbon emissions tax, worries about a flagging economy and frustration over government infighting to win the election.

The result was a stunning turnaround for Abbott, a 55-year-old former Roman Catholic seminarian and Rhodes scholar who has never been particularly popular and was once dubbed unelectable by opponents and some of his own supporters.

He emerged victorious thanks, in large part, to the frustration of a country fed up with Labor and its once-popular leader, Kevin Rudd, who had engaged in a years-long power struggle with his former deputy, Julia Gillard. Gillard, who became the nation’s first female prime minister after ousting Rudd in a party vote in 2010, ended up losing her job to Rudd three years later in a similar internal party coup.

“I now look forward to forming a government that is competent, that is trustworthy and which purposefully and steadfastly and methodically sets about delivering on our commitments to you the Australian people,” Abbott told supporters in his victory speech Saturday night.

With more than 90 percent of votes counted, official figures from the Australian Electoral Commission showed the Liberals ahead 53 percent to Labor’s 47 percent. The coalition was on track to win 91 seats in the 150-seat House of Representatives, and Labor 54.

For a range of reasons, Abbott has been dismissed by many critics as not being prime minister material. A supremely fit volunteer lifeguard, he is often parodied in the media for wearing the red-and-yellow cap and brief swimwear worn by Australian lifeguards.

He has joked that he was not allowed to wear swim briefs, known in Australia as “budgie smugglers” — a reference to the budgerigar, a small Australian parrot — during the five-week election campaign.

Abbott’s approval ratings recently improved in polls, but he remains relatively unpopular, particularly among women voters.

“All those ridiculous people who said he was unelectable should understand how foolish they were to underestimate him,” former conservative Prime Minister John Howard, who promoted Abbott to his Cabinet during an 11-year reign, told Seven Network television Saturday.

Abbott was regarded as a competent minister.

But his aggressive politics, social conservatism and knack for igniting controversy raised questions about his suitability as a potential national leader.

He was elected party leader by his Liberal Party colleagues in late 2009 by a single vote majority.

His coalition was narrowly defeated in 2010 elections following a campaign in which Abbott made some conspicuous deviations from policy.

He came under fire dur-

ing the campaign over an interview in which he drew a distinction between what he sometimes says “in the heat of discussion” and “an absolutely calm, considered, prepared, scripted remark.”

In the latest campaign, he was criticized for listing a female candidate’s “sex appeal” as a political asset, then defending himself by calling it a “charming compliment.” In another incident, he accidentally drew laughter during a speech by saying that no one is the “suppository” of all wisdom, when he apparently meant to say “repository.”

But the drama between Rudd and Gillard, combined with Labor reneging on an election promise by imposing a deeply unpopular tax on the nation’s biggest carbon polluters, proved deadly for Labor’s re-election chances.

Abbott, who becomes Australia’s third prime minister in three months, will likely end a period of extraordinary political instability and apparent chaos in Australia.

The voter swing away from Labor was a resounding rejection of Australia’s first minority government since World War II. Voters disliked the deals and compromises struck between Labor, the minor Greens party and independent lawmakers to keep their fragile, disparate and sometime chaotic coalition together for the past three years, including the carbon tax.

Abbott has vowed to scrap the carbon tax from July 2014 — two years after it was implemented — and instead introduce taxpayer-funded incentives for polluters to operate cleaner.

It is unclear whether Abbott will be able to pass the necessary law changes through Parliament, but he has threatened to call early elections if the Senate thwarts him.

Australia’s new leader inherits a slowing economy, hurt by the cooling of a mining boom that kept the resource-rich nation out of recession during the global financial crisis.

Abbott has promised to slash foreign aid spending as he concentrates on returning the budget to surplus. Labor spent billions of dollars on economic stimulus projects to avoid recession. But declining corporate tax revenues from a slowdown in mining forced Labor to break a promise to return the budget to surplus in the last fiscal year.

Abbott has also promised to repeal a tax on coal and iron ore mining companies, which he blames in part for the downturn in the mining boom. The 30 percent tax on the profits of iron ore and coal miners was designed to cash in on burgeoning profits from a mineral boom fueled

by Chinese industrial demand. But the boom was easing before the tax took effect. The tax was initially forecast to earn the government 3 billion Australian dollars ($2.7 billion) in its first year, but brought in only AU$126 million after six months.

Saturday’s election likely brought Australia’s first Aboriginal woman to Parliament. Former Olympian Nova Peris is almost certain to win a Senate seat for Labor in the Northern Territory, but the final results will not be known for days. Less likely is WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s bid for a Senate seat in Victoria state.

Trojans now must avoid 0-3 start It was sort of like renting a tuxedo, getting a limo, buying a corsage and making dinner reservations at the fanciest restaurant in town — only to get stood up on prom night.

On what should have been a magical evening in Troy football history — with some of the greatest former football players in the stands as Troy High School inducted its first class into the Trojans Athletics Hall of Fame — Springfield Shawnee crashed the party, handing the Trojans a frustrating 31-28 defeat.

Eagles execute, top Vikings JOSH BROWN Sports Editor

TROY — Practice may not always make perfect.

But it comes pretty darn close sometimes.

And the Troy Christian Eagles had to be feeling pretty perfect about how things turned out Saturday against Miami East in what has turned into a tough rivalry the past couple of seasons. The Eagles got on the board midway through the first half, got some insurance early in the second half and cruised to a 3-0 victory over the visiting Vikings at Eagle Stadium to kick off a girls-boys soccer doubleheader.

For Troy Christian girls coach Brian Peters, though, the best part of the day was seeing everything the team had worked on throughout the week, after suffering its first loss of the year, 3-2 at Northwestern on Monday, pay off.

“We really focused this week on how we were going to be able to score,” Peters said.

“Miami East is always a great team, (Miami East coach) Lil (Carson) does a great job with them and (Viking goalie) Kelly Rindler did a phenomenal job today. But our girls did a great job of executing.

“Sometimes you work on something in practice, you work on it, you work on it, you work on it, then you get to the field and you don’t see it. Today was all about great execution, and that’s a credit to the entire team.”

Shortly after the 20-minute mark of the first half passed, Troy Christian’s Morgan Haddad sent a shot flying from about 30 yards out, and it sailed perfectly out of the keeper’s reach and into the upper-left corner of the net to give the Eagles a 1-0 lead.

To the rescue

Trojans finish strong Rally to take 3rd at Troy Invite

After Miller’s injury, Guiton leads OSU to win

COLUMBUS (AP) — Sounding like a grizzled manager referring to his shutdown relief pitcher, Urban Meyer called Kenny Guiton “the old right-hander.”

Come to think of it, maybe Guiton is No. 3 Ohio State’s closer.

He took over when Braxton Miller left with a sprained left knee, running for one touchdown and passing for two on Saturday while keeping the Buckeyes right on task with a 42-7 victory over San Diego State.

The win extended the nation’s longest winning streak to 14 in a row.

“The old right-hander steps in again,” Meyer said with a grin. “He really did a nice job. He’s too slow, not strongenough armed and all he does is lead, manage, distribute and has an incredible knowledge of the game. And incredible leadership skills.

“And our players respond.”

Miller watched the last three quarters from the sideline after being sandwiched between two tacklers on the Buckeyes’ seventh offensive play. The Buckeyes (2-0) didn’t need him.

“I think I’ve heard coach Meyer say he’s as good a backup quarterback as there is in the country,” said a frustrated Rocky Long, coach of the Aztecs (0-2). “I don’t know how they decide which one starts, to be honest with you. They’re both of them very good players.”

Meyer said Miller wasn’t hurt badly.

“We had a long discussion on the sideline. I think he could have (returned),” Meyer said. “But the things that make him dangerous are his wheels and I don’t think it would have been (the same). So we decided it was best not to. I think there’s a chance he’ll be ready next week.”

Little things cost Troy Christian in loss Staff Reports

CINCINNATI — The Troy Christian Eagles showed in Week 1 that they can finish a game strong.

Saturday night, they showed they could slug it out in a backand-forth battle.

This time, though, the end result was a little different.

Miami Valley Christian Academy’s one-two rushing punch of Alex Ammerman and James Heaton proved to be too much for the Eagles (1-1) to stop Saturday night at Cincinnati Turpin High School, as the duo combined for 284 of MVCA’s 356 rushing yards and three touchdowns in a 29-26

Troy Christian loss.

This time around, it was the little things as Troy Christian turned the ball over three times and went 2 for 4 on its point-after touchdown chances.

MVCA, meanwhile, converted a two-point conversion on the game’s first touchdown and was 3 for 3 on extra-point kicks — which was the difference on the scoreboard.

Troy Christian sophomore Luke Dillahunt again had a big game, carrying the ball 12 times for 124 yards and two touchdowns — a 19-yard run and a 4-yard run. Dillahunt also caught two passes for 67 yards, including a 49-yard touchdown catch from quarterback Hayden

TROY — Maybe Troy volleyball coach Michelle Owen would like her Trojans when they’re angry.

Springfield Shawnee certainly didn’t.

After the Trojans (6-4) got knocked into the consolation final of the Troy Invitational by undefeated Kenton Ridge, they took their frustrations out on the unsuspecting Braves (2-3) in a 25-19, 25-17 sweep to finish the tournament third Saturday at the Trojan Activities Center.

“We were mad,” Owen said. “We shouldn’t have been in the consolation match. But we played very average against Kenton Ridge, they’re a good squad and some things went their way.”

Troy began the day by sweeping Bethel 25-13, 25-12. Ashton Riley led the team with eight kills, Lauren Freed had six kills, four digs and two aces, Katie DeMeo had four kills, Emily Moser had three kills, four digs and an ace, Drezanee Smith had two kills and a block, Leah Selby had a kill and a dig, Brittany Sullivan had an ace, Leslie Wynkoop had 21 assists, Abby Brinkman had six digs and Maddie Kleptz had three digs.

Against Kenton Ridge (10-0), though, the Trojans kept both games tight at the end but couldn’t find a way to close them out.

Levi Sims (six carries, 22 yards) had Troy Christian’s other score, a 1-yard run to kick off the fourth quarter.

The Eagles entered the fourth quarter down 22-13 before Sims’ score closed the gap to two points at 22-20. But Ammerman (21 carries, 158 yards, two touchdowns) scored on a 57-yard run to make it 29-20 with 7:53 to play.

Dillahunt scored on a 4-yard run with 2:40 to play to get the Eagles within a field goal, but that was as close as they would Photo courtesy Lee Woolery/ come.

Trojans stood up

Braves ensure Troy’s Hall of Fame date night is a bust

BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com TROY — It was sort of like renting a tuxedo, getting a limo, buying a corsage and making dinner reservations at the fanciest restaurant in town — only to get stood up on prom night.

On what should have been a magical evening in Troy football history — with some of the greatest former football players in the stands as Troy High School inducted its first class into the Trojans Athletics Hall of Fame — Springfield Shawnee crashed the party, handing the Trojans a frustrating 31-28 defeat.

With the loss, Troy fell to 0-2 — and needs to find some answers in a hurry.

Troy is off to its first 0-2 start since 2003 — and that team went on to finish the season 3-7. No Troy team has started 0-3 since 1982 — well before any of the players on this team were born and when every coach on Troy’s staff except for one was either in elementary school or younger — and that team ended the season 0-10.

Here’s another frightening statistic (one you can use to amaze your friends): Since 1897, Troy has only started the season 0-3 a total of 10 times — 1902, 1912, 1925, 1952, 1953, 1961, 1966, 1967, 1975 and 1982. In those 10 years, Troy finsihed the season a combined 17-67-1, a winning percentage of just .250. Only once in those 10 years did Troy not finish with a losing record — in 1961, when the Trojans rebounded from an 0-3 start to finish the season 55.

Certainly Troy doesn’t want to become the first team in more than three decades to start a season 03. Troy showed flashes against Shawnee, but was inconsistent on both sides of the ball. If Troy can put a complete effort together on both offense and defense, it certainly will give Xenia a tough game this Friday.

First, however, some final notes on Troy’s 31-28 loss to Springfield Shawnee: • Player of the Game After starting the game at cornerback, senior Miles Hibbler took over on offense midway through the season quarter and ended up carrying the ball 11 times for 106 yards. His

Troy’s Austin Kyzer bobbles the ball while attempting to make a catch Friday night against Springfield Shawnee at Troy Memorial Stadium. breathtaking 56-yard touchdown run — one that saw him break a tackle in the backfield and evade another tackle at the line of scrimmage before breaking free — gave the Trojans their only lead of the game, 14-10 in the second quarter. He also continued to make his presence felt on defense, knocking away what appeared to be a sure touchdown pass that would likely have iced the game for Shawnee in the second half.

• Unsung Hero of the Game A number of Trojans played with injuries Friday — but perhaps none was more gutsy than senior left tackle Andrew Kostecka. After leaving the Chaminade Julienne game in Week 1 on crutches with what appeared to be a high ankle sprain, the general consensus was that he would miss at least a week, possibly more.

But Kostecka didn’t miss a down Friday, hobbling out onto the field play after play.

• Play of the Game Troy quarterback Matt Barr and senior receiver Alex Magoteaux are becoming a connection to

watch. The pair hooked up for their second touchdown in as many weeks, with Barr perfectly placing a 17-yard pass into Magoteaux’s hands in the end zone late in the fourth quarter to cut Shawnee’s lead to 31-28.

Unfortunately for the Trojans, Shawnee was able to receover the onside kick and run out the clock for the win.

• What We Learned Nothing we didn’t already know — namely, Troy has serious depth issues. While Kostecka was able to gut out an injury, two Trojans with more serious injuries had to sit out the Shawnee game.

Junior Anthony Shoop was a devastating loss on both sides of the ball. He was sorely missed at inside linebacker, as the Braves were consistently able to run the ball up the middle, right into the heart of the Trojan defense. He also was missed on offense.

Without him at fullback, Troy was forced into a lot of one-back sets — and failed to convert nearly a half-dozen third-and-short situations.

There is, however, good news. Troy started nine

sophomores against Shawnee. While that inexperience certainly showed, it wasn’t for lack of effort.

Those sophmores will continue to learn and grow — and if all goes well, will grow up in a hurry and become seasoned veterans.

• What Happens Now Pray for sun. Against Xenia last year, the Trojans and Buccaneers never even kicked off Friday night, as thunderstorms rolled in just before kickoff. Not only was the game moved to Saturday afternoon, but it also was moved to Ferguson Field, as Troy Memorial Stadium already was booked for a marching band competition. The last thing Troy wants to do this week is drive to Xenia, drive home and go back again the next morning. That’s a lot of travel for a young team.

Much more than that, Troy desperately needs a win against the Buccaneers. The earlier statistic of previous Troy teams to start the season 0-3 looms large. To start this season 0-3 would almost certainly create a hole too big for the Trojans to climb out of.

His name is A.J. Ouellette

Record-breaking night for Buccs senior in 70-19 win

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com Covington likes to claim that it is the “No-Name” Buccaneers, focusing on playing together as a team rather than individual accomplishments.

And the Buccs can and do back that up — and will continue to do so all season long.

But every once in a while along the way, and individual accomplishment comes along that’s just too big to sweep under the rug in the name of “team” — like A.J. Ouellette’s record-breaking night Friday against visiting Arcanum.

The Bucc senior rolled over the hapless Trojan defense to the tune of a single-game school-record 338 yards on only 12 carries in a 70-19 victory. Five of those carries went for touchdowns and, coupled with a 90-yard interception return for a score, gave Ouellette six touchdowns on the night — tying the school record for most in one game.

Ouellette rushed for 330 of those yards and five scores on 11 carries in the first half, staking Covington (2-0, 1-0 Cross County Conference) out to a 43-6 lead.

Covington’s A.J. Ouellette casually tosses aside a would-be Arcanum tackler Friday night.

“It’s a great accomplishment, but he’ll be the first to tell you that it’s a team record,” Covington coach Dave Miller said. “He had some great runs where he broke tackles and ran people over, but a lot of times he didn’t even get touched.

That’s a credit to our entire offense.”

Covington remains at home in Week 3 for its Hall of Fame Night, hosting winless Mississinawa Valley — which Bethel (1-1, 1-0 CCC) defeated 42-24 on Friday.

Miami East, meanwhile, is 2-0 for the first time in

more than a decade — longer, maybe, than even coach Max Current’s memory goes back — after routing National Trail 42-13.

Quarterback Conner Hellyer was on the money, going 9 for 11 for 222 yards and throwing three touchdown passes. Michael Fellers caught one of those and rushed for two more.

Bradford, however, is struggling to recapture its forward momentum gained during last year’s playoff run and is 0-2 for the first time since 2008. After a narrow defeat in Week 1, the

Railroaders were shut out

by Twin Valley South 40-0 and will face Bethel looking to end its skid.

Tippecanoe continued its early-season roll with an easy 42-14 win over Greenville — and may have found a new offensive weapon. Backup quarterback Zack Blair was a perfect 5 for 5 for 110 yards, including a 44-yard bomb to Sean Ford for a touchdown, and he also had a 24-yard touchdown run. Senior starter Ben Hughes had something of an off night, and with Blair’s cannon, the Devils may have just given everyone else on their schedule something new to worry about.

Speaking of which …

Milton-Union misses graduated kicker Nick Fields. The Bulldogs went 2 for 4 on extra-point attempts Friday night at Oakwood — and lost by one point. Granted Oakwood missed its final two-point conversion trying to get a three-point lead, but still, those two points could have meant either a win or a chance at one in overtime.

The Bulldogs, coupled with an 18-14 Week 1 loss to Miami East, are five points away from 2-0 instead of 0-2.

They host the rival Red Devils in Week 3.

Troy boys win at Brookville, girls 3rd Staff Reports

BROOKVILLE — The Troy Trojan boys cross country team is looking for someone to fill its final scoring spot.

Fortunately for the Trojans, the top four was enough at Brookville.

Stephen Jones and Branden Nosker finished one-two in the “big schools” race to lead the Trojan boys to a first-place finish as a team with 34 points to runner-up Oakwood’s 40 Saturday at the Brookville Invitational at Golden Gate Park.

Jones won in 16:30, while Nosker was second in 16:40.

Right behind was Troy Schultz in fourth (16:52) and Blake Guillozet in fifth (16:52). Alex Meier was 24th (19:01) to cap off the scoring, Josh Spayde was 28th (19:02) and Bryce Meier was 39th (19:34).

“Our top four runners looked good today,” Troy boys coach Bob Campbell said. “We need to get someone to step up and fill the fifth spot if the team is going to be a contender at the end of October.”

Also pleased with his team’s performance was Troy girls coach Kevin Alexander, as the Trojan girls finished third as a team.

Rachel Davidson led the way in seventh (20:58) and Natalie Snyder was 12th (21:24). Abby Pence finished 17th (21:58), Bridget McCormick was 18th (22:01), Cristina Dennison was 21st (22:26), Lindsay Smith was 23rd (22:29) and Katie-Grace Sawka was 24th (22:41).

“Nearly all 25 girls who competed today ran seasonal bests, which is an encouraging sign heading into the fourth week of the season,” Alexander said. “Rachel and Natalie had solid performances. Having those two improve and race closer to the front of the pack will be critical to overall team placement in upcoming meets.

“Despite a lack of experience, newcomers Abby and Bridget ran savvy races. It will be interesting to watch those two improve as the season progresses.”

Miami East’s girls placed four runners in the top 10 to win the “small schools” race. Lorenza Savini won the

race (20:29) and Marie Ewing was third (20:49). Abigael Amheiser was eighth (21:52), Abby Hawkins was 10th (22:06), Sami Sands was 19th, Erin Augustus was 38th and Abby Bollinger was 47th).

Miami East’s boys finished fifth as a team. Josh Ewing was 12th (18:29), Luke Mengos was 15th (18:33), Ben Marlow was 44th (19:44), Brandon Mack was 57th (20:15) and Evan Pemberton was 61st (20:24).

• Mason Invitational MASON — The Milton-Union boys finished 10th Saturday at the Mason Invitational. The Bulldogs ended the meet with 296 points. Shawnee was team champ with 103.

Colton Graumen led the Bulldogs in 18th (18:24.96), Kyle Swartz was 40th (19:09.72), Ridge Spicer came in 83rd (19:55.58), Zach Pricer finished 107th (20:21.89) and Skyler Deeter was 115th (20:33.85).

The Milton-Union girls placed 16th as a team with 380 points. McNicholas won with 96.

Freshman Lauren Meredith was the top runner for the girls team, placing 20th (22:08.40). Katie Litton was 93rd (24:57.2), Haily Bohse took 95th (25:08.06), Kira Rohr placed 97th overall (25:07), Grace Warner placed 111th (25:51) and Liz Renner finished 128th (26:53.08).

• Bearcat Invitational SPENCERVILLE — Covington sophomore Carly Shell (19:53.1) held off Lehman’s Caroline Heitmeyer (19:59.3) for the individual title at Saturday’s Spencerville Bearcat Invitational.

And Shell had teammates follow shortly after as the Buccs won the meet title with 68 points. St. Henry placed second (85) and Ft. Recovery was third (118). Lehman took sixth (180).

Covington freshman Anna Dunn placed ninth (20:39.8), Hannah Retz took 14th (21:03.9), Heidi Cron placed 25th (22:08.0) and Julianna Yingst was 33rd (22:32.0). Also for the Buccs, Cassidy Cain placed 91st (25:58.5).

“I’m happy with the girls,” Covington coach Josh Long

said. “The girls behind Carly are really starting to close the gap. I mean, Carly is still running her normal race in front, but the girls behind her are starting to see better results.”

Bradford junior Bailey Brewer finished 16th overall in a time of 21:17.

The Covington boys team placed sixth (199 points) at the Spencerville Bearcat Invitational Saturday. New Bremen won the meet handily with 57 points an St. Henry took second (95).

Nate Dunn placed 13th (18:04.5), Alex Schilling finished 22nd (18:24.2), Sam Sherman was 46th (19:44.4), Daniel Jennings placed 66th (20:19.6), Lane White finished 67th (20:20.3), Tyler Henry took 68th (20:20.8) and Ryan Hembree placed 84th (20:53.6).

Lehman’s Joe Fuller won the race in a time of 16:46.3.

• Tiffin CC Carnival TIFFIN — Troy Christian coach Jeff McDaniel was eager to see sophomore phenom Zac Garver go against the best of the best in Division III at the Tiffin Cross Country Carnival Saturday.

Unfortunately, Garver and his teammates will have to wait until the postseason for that.

Without a full team, the Eagles boys were forced to run in the open division Saturday, which Garver won handily in a time of 16:57.86. The next closest runner was more than a minute back.

“We were pretty excited to see Zac running with the Division III varsity guys,” McDaniel said. “Without full team, they made us step down to the open division. Zac won the open race pretty easily. He would have probably been right around the top 15 in the varsity race.”

Following Garver were teammates Blake Klingler (23rd, 20:06.93) and Mathew Webb (128th, 22:56.11).

The Bethel boys finished 33rd in the Division III race, with Chase Heck (127th, 20:26) as the top finisher. Marieke Van Haaren placed 206th in a time of 24:37.94 to lead Bethel’s girls. Megan Fletcher finished 240th (25:54) to pace Troy Christian’s girls.

“We came out slow in both games.

We got down 5-0 in the first one and 4-0 in the second,” Owen said. “It’s hard to put my finger on one thing that went wrong. It was a lot of little things. It’s just frustrating, because we felt like we were the better team.”

Freed had seven kills, six aces and five digs to lead the way against the Cougars. DeMeo had four kills and a block, Riley had three kills and six digs, Moser had two kills, three blocks and three aces, Jillian Ross had a kill and a block, Wynkoop had 15 assists and Brinkman had seven digs.

Execution- and statistics-wise, Troy had its best match of the day against Shawnee Freed had 12 kills, five digs and three aces, Moser had nine kills and seven digs, DeMeo had six kills, an ace and a block, Riley had three kills, Smith had a kill and a block, Selby had a kill, Brinkman had eight digs and Wynkoop had 27 assists.

“We didn’t get aced against Shawnee.

I don’t think that’s happened this season,” Owen said. “It was by far our best passing game of the season. We passed well, everyone contributed and it was a total team win.”

And that anger is something Owen hopes to see again from her Trojans, particularly with division rivals Greenville and Butler on this week’s docket.

“I told the girls that we needed to play like we have a chip on our shoulder. Winning the Troy Invitational was one of our preseason goals,” Owen said. “We start (Greater Western Ohio Conference) North Division play this week.

“Winning the North is our No. 1 goal.

But for that to be on the table, we’ve got to win both of these games, Greenville Tuesday and Butler Thursday. This has got to be the turning point.”

• Miamisburg Invitational

MIAMISBURG — After a 1-5 start to the season, the Tippecanoe Red Devils turned a corner Saturday, sweeping three matches to win the Miamisburg Invitational.

The Red Devils defeated Middletown 25-12, 25-12, edged out Hamilton 26-24, 25-21 and beat host Miamisburg in three 25-21, 19-25, 25-21 to win the title.

“A great display of quickness, ball control and control of net play gave the Red Devils the championship here for

the second year in a row,” Tippecanoe coach Howard Garcia said.

Erin Jans had 19 kills and 11 blocks on the day, Alyssa Crusey had 19 kills and four aces, Halee Printz had 16 kills, Aubrey Cox had nine blocks, Emily Layman had 33 digs, Sidney Roemke had 29 digs and three aces and Hannah Budding had 45 assists.

Tippecanoe (4-5) hosts Indian Lake Tuesday.

• Bulldogs

Split Tri NEW PARIS — The Milton-Union Bulldogs split a tri-match Saturday, defeating National Trail 2-0 then falling to Eaton 2-1.

Kinsey Douglas had 15 kills, Katlyn Douglas had 12, Courtney Wion had nine and Brianna Bull had eight. Kaitlyn Thompson had 17 digs and Jessica Shields had 12.

Milton-Union (5-3) hosts Dixie Monday.

PRACTICE n Continued from page A9

“We practiced that all week,” Peters said.

“Repetition, repetition, repetition. It’s great to see that translate onto play on the field.”

Five minutes later, Lydia Demmitt hit a shot that drilled the post, then Juliah Biller got the rebound but Rindler was there to make a save as the Eagles kept up the pressure. Shortly after that, Haddad had a chance at a second goal, but her header was stuffed again by Rindler and the score stayed 1-0 at the half.

Less than one minute into the second half, though, Varvel ripped a shot past a fully-extended dive by Rindler, again putting the ball in the only place she couldn’t get to it to give the Eagles some breathing room.

“Lydia really carries this team in the center midfield,” Peters said. “She may be quiet vocally, but the players around her take her lead on the field. And Morgan, Lauren (Peters) and Jordanne (Varvel), our attackers up front, they just play phenomenal together as a unit.”

It was an odd off-day for the Vikings (5-1-1), who suffered their first loss of the year in the game. Last season, the Eagles won the matchup 1-0, and Miami

East began the game by taking the action right at Troy Christian. But Karli Riviello kept the Vikings off the scoreboard, and they couldn’t find a way to sustain any attack after that.

“In the first 10-15 minutes of the game, we came out with a lot of intensity,” Carson said. “The same level just wasn’t there after that.”

And it wasn’t that they got down on themselves after the Eagles got the lead, either. With 30 minutes to go in the game, the Vikings had their best scoring chance. Lindsey Roeth hit a rocket of a shot that drilled the post hard, but Emily Holicki was there to follow that shot — and hit it just high.

“If we could’ve gotten that to go in, that would have completely changed the game,” Carson said. “We weren’t expecting it to be a high-scoring game. There’s not a lot a keeper can do about those (the shots that Troy Christian scored on), but Kelly had some good saves, too.”

With the score still 2-0, though, the Eagles were able to maintain control of the momentum, and eventually Demmitt got a pass in front of the net and put it far post with 7:40 to play to seal the win.

“We practiced that shot this week, too,” Peters said.

“And that second goal was huge, and Karli had another shutout. We played great today, like we needed to.”

The Eagles will look to continue that trend when they host St. Ursula Sept.

14.

The Vikings, meanwhile, will look to get back on track on Thursday in Cross County Conference play against Tri-County North.

“I don’t think we played bad today, but we didn’t play our best,” Carson said. “And when you play a team like Troy Christian or Lehman, you have to play your best.

You’ve got to play your best every time out, and hopefully the girls will see that and do it from now on.”

Bethel 2, DC 0 DAYTON — Lytia Hart scored both goals Saturday as the Bethel Bees won their second straight, 2-0 over Dayton Christian.

Bethel (2-1-1) faces Xenia Christian Monday.

Lehman 6, FM 0 PITSBURG — Ashley Keller and Sara Fuller each scored twice as the Lehman Cavaliers routed Franklin Monroe 6-0 Saturday.

Taylor Lachey also had a goal, Elizabeth Edwards and Maddi Franklin each had two assists and Moriah Pauley had one assist.

Reporters look inside NYPD’s spy unit “Enemies Within: Inside the NYPD’s Secret Spying Unit and bin Laden’s Final Plot Against America” (Touchstone Books),

by Matt Apuzzo and Adam Goldman In their reporting on a vast police spying operation that targeted Muslim New Yorkers, journalists Matt Apuzzo and Adam Goldman homed in on a central challenge facing a post 9/11 America. They wrote in one of a series of stories in 2011: “One of the enduring questions of the past decade is whether being safe requires giving up some liberty and privacy.”

Since Apuzzo, Goldman and other Associated Press journalists who worked on the spying series won the 2012 Pulitzer for investigative reporting, Americans have grown ever more uneasy about the costs of the war on terror. Journalists like Apuzzo and Goldman have given us the information we need in an urgent national conversation.

Now, Apuzzo and Goldman have written a book that digs more deeply into what they came to see as the New York Police Department’s attempt to build its own “miniature CIA.” If you’re a citizen, you need to read “Enemies Within: Inside the NYPD’s Secret Spying Unit and bin Laden’s Final Plot Against America.”

Apuzzo and Goldman frame their narrative within the story of a plot the nation’s largest police department failed to uncover despite compiling maps of where Muslims live in New York, sending officers to take notes on conversations in cafes and restaurants in the city’s Arab neighborhoods and designating mosques as “criminal enterprises” in order to maximize their

oversight powers.

“When it mattered most, those programs failed,” Apuzzo and Goldman write after describing how NYPD spies visited Najibullah Zazi’s mosque in New York and the travel agency where he bought tickets to fly to Pakistan for alQaida training, but missed the young Afghan immigrant and his radicalization. In 2010, Zazi pleaded guilty to terrorism charges and confessed to plotting to bomb New York’s subway system. The plot was foiled largely by the FBI. Apuzzo and Goldman quote a supporter of New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly as saying the NYPD foiled at least 14 Islamic terrorist plots. The journalists question those numbers.

“The NYPD’s combination of

publicity and secrecy prevented people from assessing whether its intelligence programs worked and are worth the cost in money and trust,” write Apuzzo and Goldman, who went over hundreds of internal police memos and interviewed intelligence sources.

The Zazi passages can read like padding. But in that affair, the authors have a story worthy of a thriller. The book is peopled with spies, terrorists and decorated war heroes. The prose is declarative and compelling, with touches of humor: “Unlike your typical company … office politics at the CIA were played by people TRAINED to lie, cheat, and manipulate.”

New York police chief Kelly brought in a former CIA analyst to build “a deep roster of undercover officers, a web of informants and a team of linguists and analysts that were unrivaled by any police department in the country.”

Underwood brings new ‘Sunday Night Football’ theme NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Carrie Underwood has taken the handoff from Faith Hill to perform the musical introduction for NBC’s “Sunday Night Football,” but don’t expect the two country superstars to sing it the same way.

Hill performed the song for the last five seasons before Underwood took over this year.

The singer says she wanted to put her own style on “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night,” the theme song based on Joan Jett’s rock ‘n’ roll anthem “I Hate Myself for Loving You.” Underwood’s version debuts Sunday before the Dallas Cowboys host the New York Giants.

“We were definitely mindful — she had put her mark on it for so many years,” Underwood said in a telephone interview. “We definitely wanted to go in and make sure we switched gears a little bit and made it sound more like me.

And changed up the look and the feel just so it wasn’t, you know, the same song with a different blondie up there singing it.”

Besides the football theme

This June 9 file photo shows Carrie Underwood performing at the 2013 CMA Music Festival in Nashville, Tenn. On Sunday, Underwood will sing “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night,” the new theme song for “Sunday Night Football.”

song, the former “American Idol” champion spoke with the AP about expanding her acting experience by starring as Maria in NBC’s live holiday production of “The Sound of Music,” and also returning with Brad Paisley as cohosts for the 47th annual Country Music Association Awards on Nov. 6 on ABC. AP: Did you aim to make the theme song sound more country

than the original?

Underwood: I used my producer so there are going to be some elements that sound like me, of course, that’s what we wanted.

But we weren’t like, “Hey, let’s use some fiddle,” or, “Hey, let’s use some steel guitar.” … We just wanted to make it me and make it fit the situation.

AP: Are you nervous about learning lines for “Sound Of

Music”?

Underwood: I am. I have definitely been doing my part before we all get together. I figure if I at least have the lines memorized by the time I get there we can slowly concentrate on delivering them.

I definitely think I am going to be surrounded by some really amazing people, so I know they’ll be able to help me with that. On the flip side, I will be surrounded by people who might not be used to singing as much. Maybe I can return the favor and help them.

But it will be good. I feel like I am a hard worker and we’re going to go in and we’re going to do it so many times by THE night, it’s going to feel like another rehearsal.

AP: One of the songs, “The Lonely Goatherd,” involves yodeling. Do you have to practice at that?

Underwood: That’s the one thing I don’t have to practice. I actually have some yodeling experience. I can yodel. I don’t think you can necessarily learn it. I can just do it. I didn’t have to learn it.

I am one of the blessed few.

There are always bad guys in comic books — rogues and evil geniuses out for world domination. In DC Comics’ slate of “New 52” titles there’s about to be nothing but villains as the universe finds itself under assault and protected by an unlikely hero: Lex Luthor.

Writer Geoff Johns said the opening pages of “Forever Evil” this week promise to upend readers of DC Entertainment’s comics as the crossover ripples throughout the publisher’s titles and turns “inside out,” the nature of DC Comics’ long-standing characters, both good and bad.

“The Justice League is gone and the Crime Syndicate is here. You have all the villains in new roles, and the world has been really altered. The strongest team in the world isn’t what you’d expect — it’s a team of villains,” he said of the baddies from an alternate Earth.

It’s also a chance for Luthor, who throughout DC’s long history has been cold, calculating and devious — everything diabolical to Superman’s inherent good.

In the upcoming series, and the crossovers, he takes on the role of hero.

“Our tagline for the story is ‘Evil is relative.’ One of the most important characters is Lex Luthor, who decides someone has to stand up to these villains and stop them,” Johns said. “And he’s the one. He knew this day would come, he knew the people with powers flying around would need to be stopped and he’s the one that has to do it.”

But like all tales of sacrifice throughout history, can Luthor be that hero? Can he, asked Johns, be what “the world needs him to be, and save everyone?”

Johns, who is also the publisher’s chief creative officer, says the first issue of the seven-issue miniseries, out Wednesday, takes the idea of good and bad and mixes it up in a way that will leave readers unsure what’s right or wrong.

The idea for the series has its roots from DC’s relaunch of all its characters two years ago, revitalizing heroes wellknown and some obscure.

While those characters — from Zatanna to Nightwing — have taken center stage, the villains have remained in the background.

“The launch was so much about the heroes and their stories — we had to turn it on its head and focus on the villains and have them in the spotlight. That’s really where the idea that became ‘Forever Evil’ started,” he said.

And with villains in the forefront, there’s no need to worry about any lines being crossed, giving Johns and DC’s other writers great flexibility as they craft the stories in the coming months.

“The great thing about villains is that they cross the line all the time. They don’t know where the line even is.

They’re unpredictable,” he said. “You’re not sure which way they’ll turn, which makes writing them always compelling and motivating.”

Rogues, Johns said, are more like regular people than the heroes they are in conflict with.

“They’re more conflicted and like us, they’re real people. They have their own internal set of ethics and morals that change on a sliding scale, he said. “You don’t, for example, know what Catwoman or Captain Cold or Sinestro are going to do in a given situation.

It’s a writer’s dream to write villains for a while.”

Discover the

“Custom Built Quality At An Affordable Price.”

SHNS — A few years ago at market, I happened upon metal orbs and fell hard for these minimalist www.keystonehomesintroy.com tools that offer limitless 937-332-8669 2382627 decorating possibilities.

They are so simple — just a few straps of metal form the faintest outlines of a globe — but they are bursting with drama. And with their aged patina, they are ideal tools for fall decorating. Here are some ideas to inspire you.

An orb can bring structure to a bouquet of fall foliage without stifling it.

Metal orbs can offer a world of decorating possibilities.

When we plan my fall open house every year, we put a lot of thought into decorating the front porch, the first place guests see. Last year, orbs did the trick. We made twin designs in the two iron urns flanking my front door. We started with mounded nests of mixed mosses for color and texture. Then we placed the orbs on top, filling each with a small, tight bouquet of fall foliage and a plump pine cone.

Another possibility is placing an orb by a cherub garden statue, and fill-

ing it with fall foliage.

We treat the orb’s interior as a stage, filled with all sorts of interesting elements. One time, we inserted a bronze English equestrian statue. You could use all kinds of figurines that speak of fall.

Realistic faux birds would also be lovely, like pheasants, quail or owls.

Not one for arranging intricate displays? Try this trick. Rest an orb on the mouth of an urn, then stick in an assortment of fall foliage. It’s so easy, you don’t have to be good at flower-arranging to pull it off. (I say this

because I am NOT good at flower-arranging.)

I recently talked about using lanterns in fall decor. Think about combining both of these fabulous tools in one great display. For example, open an orb to insert a lantern holding a battery-operated candle. (This would be ideal with a candle that works with a remote control or timer so you wouldn’t have to hassle with opening up the lantern to light it.) Then create an asymmetrical spray of fall foliage and berries, fanning up and down and around the orb.

week and close to the high this year of 4.58 percent reached Aug. 22.

The average on the 15-year fixed mortgage rose from 3.54 percent to 3.59 percent. That’s near the year’s high of 3.6 percent.

Long-term mortgage rates have risen more than a full percentage point since May, when

Section 7 Lots 6 Available Now!

Chairman Ben Bernanke first signaled that the Federal Reserve could reduce its bond purchases later this year if the economy continued to strengthen. The bond purchases have been intended to keep long-term loan rates ultra-low.

Among the indicators the Fed will weigh in deciding whether to slow its bond buying is the government’s estimate that the economy grew at a 2.5 percent annualized rate from April through June — much faster than previously estimated. Economists expect growth to stay at an annual rate of around 2.5 percent in the second half of the year.

The Fed will meet Sept. 17-18, after which most analysts expect it to announce that it will scale back its bond purchases.

Mortgage rates remain low by historical standards. But the recent increases in rates could slow the housing recovery’s momentum. The increases have spurred some homebuyers to close deals quickly.

U.S. sales of newly built homes dropped 13.4 percent in July to a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 394,000, the lowest level in nine months.

But spending on construction projects rose in July to its highest level since June 2009, the

Commerce Department said Tuesday.

Mortgage rates have been rising because they tend to track the yield on the 10-year Treasury note.

The yield has climbed 1.3 percentage points in the past four months as bond traders have anticipated that the Fed will slow its bond-buying stimulus to the economy.

The 10-year note’s rate rose to 2.89 percent on Wednesday from 2.86 percent Tuesday. It jumped to 2.96 percent Thursday morning.

To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country on Monday through Wednesday each week.

The average doesn’t include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount.

The average fee for a 30-year mortgage was unchanged at 0.7 point.

The fee for a 15-year loan also held at 0.7 point.

The average rate on a one-year adjustable-rate mortgage increased to 2.71 percent from 2.64 percent. The fee rose to 0.5 point from 0.4 point.

The average rate on a five-year adjustable mortgage rose to 3.28 percent from 3.24 percent. The fee was unchanged at 0.5 point.

Simple home improvements allow aging comfortably

New medicine cabinets can cure bathroom blues

Q:

I get depressed every time I shave in the morning because I don’t like my present medicine cabinet. Unfortunately, it came with the house, so I’ve been stuck with it.

Since it’s outdated and in a poor state of repair, I’m going to have a new one installed. Can you please give me some of your great tips on choosing a new medicine cabinet? — Pete, New Jersey A: Medicine cabinets have come a long way since the days of painted metal boxes with a mirror door. Today, they can be more like a piece of furniture than just a place to see your reflection and store accessories.

With all the new styles available, it can get a little confusing when trying to choose the right one. Here are some basic tips on buying a new medicine cabinet:

Size does matter. In most cases, you’ll need to replace your old medicine cabinet with a one of the same size and style. So, know the exact specifications of your present cabinet and if it’s a wallmounted or recessedinstalled unit. This will help narrow your choices.

Also, decide if you want to go ultra-modern or old-school. Old-school is basically a cabinet only, while ultra-modern may have electrical gadgets built in, things like lights, radio or even a TV. Finally, make sure the door swings open from the correct side to fit your bathroom.

Otherwise, your new medicine cabinet may cause a big headache!

“I’m now 65, so I’m a prime candidate for this myself,” Dworsky said.

“Most of my clients are my age or older.”

Among them are Ronnie Greenberg and her husband, Larry, 88 and 87, respectively, who were in the process of moving from their St. Louis Park, Minn., home of 60 years into an apartment. They deliberately chose a place that’s well-designed for older people, with wide doorways, a stall shower and underground parking to eliminate snow-shoveling hassles.

“The doorways are wide enough to get a walker through if we need to, or a wheelchair if the time comes,” Ronnie said. “It really takes into consideration our needs.”

Here are more of Dworsky’s tips: n Entryway. Provide plenty of light, both inside and outside, with easily accessible switches. Place a ledge, shelf or chair on which to set items — again, both inside and outside. A chair inside also helps with shoe and boot removal. Use slipresistant flooring or rugs. n Living room.

“Lighting is critical,” Dworsky said. “We need three times more light in our 60s to see what we saw in our 20s. In our 80s, we need five times as much.”

Cover windows with sheer materials to cut glare while maximizing outdoor light. Supplement with table and floor lamps, recessed ceiling lights, sconces, mirrors to reflect existing light. Opt for brighter colors; pastels can look washed out to aging eyes, Dworsky said.

Choose furniture that’s easy to get up and out of, such as chairs with sturdy arms. Leave space to move comfortably between furniture pieces. n Kitchen. Minimize features that require bending and heavy lifting. Raise the dishwasher 12 inches off the floor, or install a dishwasher drawer, which offers water savings as well as convenience over the traditional style. Look for refrigerators with freezers at the bottom and pullout drawers. Raise the oven, and locate a sturdy shelf beneath it for setting hot pans.

Vary counter heights to accommodate standing

and sitting. Avoid barstool seating, which can be too high for those with physical limitations. If your kitchen has a center island, consider adding a shelf with table-height seating. n Bathroom. Grab bars now come in sturdy but stylish designs. If you’re working on your bathroom but don’t need grab bars installed, plan ahead by reinforcing the walls where they would go. “I ask my clients, ‘Where would you need a grab bar?’ That’s where we’ll put it,” she said.

Consider a “comfort height” toilet or wall-hung toilet (the latter requires in-wall plumbing). Choose a no-threshold or lowthreshold shower with a door that’s at least 36 inches wide; special brackets let the door open all the way to widen the space.

“You want some sort of seating in the shower, whether it’s removable or flip-down,” Dworsky said.

“And always a hand-held shower, in case you’re ever not able to stand up.”

Incorporating black in home decor Black is a great hue for decorating your home. You can use it on walls, on the floor, on the cabinets, in the furniture, on the upholstery, as picture frames or simply as accent pieces.

Wherever you choose black, the effect will be stunning. Remember the old saying about that little black dress and how it is always in style and fits in for just about any occasion? Well, black is always in style with interior design.

Perhaps the attraction with black for interiors is its boldness. Black can be paired with just about any other color, making it pop.

Black adds interest, even if you use only a little of it.

Black combines with tan and brown beautifully to

give a sophisticated look without feeling standoffish.

If you want real drama, combine black with a deep, dark purple. In a bedroom, for example, deep-purple walls with a bedroom set of black with silver accents will make the room dramatic plus provide a quiet-feeling, dark place for peaceful sleep.

The dining room can become beautifully formal with a black table and chairs. If that is too much for you, then just black chairs with a glass table would still say formal. Accent that with red on the window treatments and you have a bold, exciting look.

Painting just one wall black might be enough.

Anything you hang on that

wall will jump out and be seen. All the colors in whatever you hang on that wall

will pop with more intensity than they would on a lightercolored wall.

With all the new styles available, take your time in choosing the right medicine cabinet for your bathroom.

SHNS — If you plan on remaining in your home as long as possible — and most Americans do, according to the AARP — you’ve probably considered the possibility that someday you’ll have trouble climbing stairs.

So when remodeling or choosing a new home, you may look for a first-floor laundry room and bathroom to make your future life easier and potentially safer.

But have you thought about the shower? About the furniture? About lighting? About the grab bars you may not need yet, but may want to install someday? About throw rugs?

Those are among the factors Minneapolis-based interior designer Mary Dworsky reminds people to consider when designing or choosing a home in which they can live comfortably into old age.

In addition to the typical designer focus on style and convenience improvements, Dworsky recommends features to accommodate aging in place. (“Creating beautiful interiors for the way you live today and tomorrow” is the way she describes her business, at www.maryd-

use to help in your decision.

Fact is: homes are selling faster and for more money than they have since 2006. Currently, Miami County (Troy and Tipp City in particular) are experiencing a shortage of homes in the most desirable price ranges. The median price for a home in Miami County is over 150K! This tells us that more families are considering a “move up” purchase than in previous years where the average sales price was in the $120,000 range. Additionally, we know the units sold are up significantly as well. With units and median price up we know there is a large pool of buyers buying in a variety of price ranges and,

This Aug. 20 , shows a handcrafted wooden toy in McKinney, Texas.

the Scottish Rite Hospital’s holiday bazaar, and its summer bazaar and bake sale, two annual fundraising events that benefit patients and their families.

Shoppers at the bazaars appreciate the handmade quality, Dunham told The Dallas Morning News (http://dallasne.ws/14xRbB8).

“You can get a rocking horse anywhere, but you couldn’t get one more durable than that one there,” he said, pointing at a brown toy horse, one of a dozen on a shelf in the wood shop.

Some toys are presented as gifts

to comfort children before surgery.

And some are used in recreational camps and hospital playrooms.

Andrea Brown, a child life specialist at the Oak Lawn hospital, works with Dunham to come up with a list of items for use in the playrooms.

Dunham’s crew will then turn out wooden airplanes, cars, letters, shadow boxes, picture frames and other items that the young patients can paint and decorate.

Some items, including birdhouses and pencil boxes, are delivered in pieces for the kids to assemble.

‘Populaire’ is a love letter to ’50s film LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Mad Men” meets “The Artist” in “Populaire,” a superbly crafted, finely acted but somewhat shallow retro rom-com about a young French secretary who, with the help of her highly persuasive boss, hammers her way to becoming one of the fastest typists on the planet.

This impressive debut feature from writer-director Regis Roinsard is boosted by terrific lead turns from Romain Duris and Deborah Francois (“The Page Turner”), as well as some stunning old-school cinematography from Guillaume Schiffman of “The Artist.” Still, there’s something formulaic and all too overtly crowd-pleasing about this sepiatoned tale of female empowerment and lost love, making for a rather soulless affair.

Set in the rain-swept towns of Lower Normandy in 1958, the film makes its throwback status heard loud and clear from the getgo, with opening credits (directed

by Alexandre Courtes, “Asylum Blackout”) straight out of a Billy Wilder movie and decors and a color palette that would please the likes of both Alfred Hitchcock and “Mad Men’s” Matthew Weiner. Indeed, it’s easy to spend most of the movie simply gawking at the sets (by Sylvie Olive) and costumes (by Charlotte David), so Roinsard, along with cowriters Daniel Presley and Romain Compingt, deserves credit for weaving an amusing intrigue that never lets up until the closing half-hour, when his premise starts to grow old.

A quick intro presents small-town gal Rose Pamphyle (Francois, channeling the feistier side of Grace Kelly), who works at her dad’s local grocery store but longs for a better life. She thus decides to apply for a secretarial position at a neighboring insurance office run by the sleek, fast-talking Louis Echard (Duris, sharp and sprightly), who’s

Associated Press photo

This film image released by The Weinstein Company shows Deborah Francois in a scene

impressed by both her superhuman typing skills and killer looks. Before long, he takes Rose under his wing as his protegee, training her for a regional secretary competition and moving her into his country mansion, where she’s swept into a daily regimen of extreme typewriting and unrequited romance.

The bond the two form is not unlike that of Don Draper and Peggy Olson — hairstyles and smoking habits included — and Rose’s climb to a higher social status is reminiscent of Peggy’s evolution from clerk to copywriter. The difference here is that while the “Mad Men” duo ultimately transforms into a surrogate father-daughter team, the two Frenchies clearly have the hots for each other. Yet Louis is incapable of closing the deal, blocked by an enduring affection for his childhood sweetheart (Berenice Bejo) and memories of serving in the French Resistance during WWII. While the love story is meant to fuel much of the action, it’s often

overshadowed by the thrill of the training sessions and typing competitions, which Roinsard films as if they were some kind of office combat sport. Cutting between the competing secretaries as they pound out keystrokes and slam back their typewriter carriages, the director and editors Laure Gardette and Sophie Reine endow these sequences with the nail-biting suspense of a finale at Roland Garros, making them the real highlights of the movie But for all the earnestness with which the filmmakers replicate the muted colors and attitudes of the post-war era, they ultimately fail to say anything truly interesting about either the past or the present, resulting in a work that feels as superficial as it does slick. As Louis’ expat buddy, Bob (Shaun Benson), explains at one point, “America is for business, France is for love,” and there are times when “Populaire” seems to be channeling its love of movies simply as a means to achieve Hollywood clout.

McKINNEY, Texas (AP) — Gene Dunham, 81, can’t remember a time when he wasn’t around the earthy, sweet scent of fresh lumber.

His grandfather and father taught him as a boy how to cut and carve wood with a jigsaw.

When he read a newspaper story nearly two decades ago about the Hobby Crafters, a group in Dallas that built wooden Christmas toys for poor children, he drove to meet them and volunteered his services.

Two years later, Dunham and some friends opened their own wood shop on Coleman Street.

Nearly every Tuesday morning since, he has organized a handful of retirees from Community North Baptist Church who cut, sand and finish wooden toys for patients at the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children in Dallas. The group — about 10 woodworkers and eight seamstresses — makes as many as 1,700 handcrafted toys a year.

Most of the seamstresses are wives of the woodworkers. The women, who call themselves the Loving Hands, fashion items like doll clothes and drawstring bags for wooden jigsaw puzzles.

“We work together hand in glove,” Dunham said.

A few cabinet shops donate scrap wood to the toymakers, and they raise money for other materials through craft sales at the church.

Some of the toys are sold at
