After days of intense day-and-night negotiations between U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and their teams, the two powers announced they had a framework for ridding the world of Syria’s chemicals weapons.

The U.S. says Assad used chemical weapons in an Aug.

That prompted U.S. President Barack Obama to ready American airstrikes on his order — until he decided last weekend to ask for authorization from the U.S. Congress. Then came the Russian proposal, and Obama asked Congress, already largely opposed to military intervention, to delay a vote.

Obama said the deal “represents an important, concrete step toward the goal of moving Syria’s chemical

Bus overturns in southwest Ohio; 35 injured CINCINNATI (AP) — A Greyhound bus drove off an interstate highway in southwest Ohio early Saturday, struck a tree and a fence and flipped on its side before sliding to a stop in a cornfield, injuring at least 35 people.

None of the injuries was considered life-threatening, though several people were trapped and had to be extricated by firefighters and paramedics, the State Highway Patrol said in a statement.

Patrol Sgt. Pete Combs said an investigation was underway and he could not comment on a possible cause for the crash, which happened around 4 a.m. on Interstate 75 in Liberty Township, about 25 miles north of Cincinnati.

But passenger Christopher Lake, of Michigan, told WCPO-

TV in Cincinnati that he saw the driver slumped over. Lake said he heard a woman scream at the driver “Wake up! Wake up!” but that he thinks the man might have had a medical problem.

Lake told the TV station the bus rolled over at least twice after hitting the tree.

Jeff Galloway, director of the Butler County Emergency Management Agency, said 35 people were taken to hospitals, six by helicopters and 29 by ambulance.

The injuries ranged from minor to severe, officials said.

The bus, which left Cincinnati bound for Detroit, was carrying 51 passengers and the driver. Those passengers who were not injured and those who were treated and released from hospitals were transported back to

Cincinnati, but none of them were at the bus station later Saturday morning.

At least eight people remained in hospitals Saturday night.

Eleven of 13 people taken to Atrium Medical Center in Middletown and all but one of the 14 taken to West Chester Hospital had been released as of Saturday evening, according to officials at both hospitals. The conditions of those who remained hospitalized were not released.

One person was admitted to MercyHealth-Fairfield Hospital, according to spokeswoman Lauryn Moore, who did not have that patient’s condition.

Two patients taken to Bethesda North in Cincinnati remained there Saturday evening, with one in serious condition, hospi-

tal spokesman Michael Mattingly said. Terri Ann Fredette, a spokeswoman for University of Cincinnati Medical Center, said two people were taken there.

One was released and the other remained in stable condition.

Two of the four people taken by helicopter to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton were released and one was taken to surgery for a broken leg, spokeswoman Nancy Thickel said. The fourth was admitted for contusions and bruising.

Lake, who was not injured, told WCPO he saw some children on the bus and thought some passengers had broken arms and legs. He said that the bus driver seemed fine when he boarded the bus.

After acquittal, Zimmerman still in spotlight LAKE MARY, Fla. (AP) — Whether they think that he got away with murdering 17-year-old Trayvon Martin or that he was just a brave neighborhood watch volunteer “standing his ground,” many Americans can’t seem to get enough of George Zimmerman.

And he can’t seem to stop giving it to them.

So it’s hardly surprising that everything Zimmerman does produces a Twitterverse explosion and spins out into heavy news coverage. Comedian Deon Cole nailed it during an appearance on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” a couple of days after the July 13 verdict.

Merely being found not guilty, he said of Zimmerman, “doesn’t mean that you’re a free man.”

He certainly hasn’t been free from the spotlight.

—Two stops for speeding.

—A cellphone photo of a smiling Zimmerman touring the Florida factory where the 9 mm semi-automatic pistol used in the February 2012 shooting was made.

—And, this week, police dash-

cam footage of Zimmerman kneeling in the street to be cuffed after an alleged scuffle with his estranged wife and father-in-law.

Like gangster Al Capone going to Alcatraz for tax evasion and O.J. Simpson serving time for robbing some sports memorabilia dealers, some interpret this series of unfortunate events as part of some cosmic comeuppance for a wannabe cop.

But is he a kind of George Ziggyman, perpetually stalked by storm clouds, or more like one of those California wildfires, creating his own weather patterns?

Seems like a little bit of both, according to crisis management expert Mark McClennan.

“How does he keep resetting his 15 minutes of fame?” said the Boston-area consultant, who’s on the Public Relations Society of America’s board of directors. “I’d say it’s a two-way street.”

Granted, Zimmerman didn’t expect his visit to the Kel-Tec CNC Industries factory in Cocoa, Fla., to be a public event. But McClennan

wasn’t surprised when TMZ published a photo of Zimmerman shaking hands with a Kel-Tec employee — and Zimmerman shouldn’t have been, either.

“Instead of being a 24-hour news cycle, it’s now a 24-second news cycle for anything to spring up,” said McClennan, a senior vice president at Schwartz MSL. “You need to be careful of what you’re doing. … And if there’s anything you do that is newsworthy or interesting, people are going to write about it, talk about it, share about it, tweet it, put it on YouTube — because it’s going to drive clicks, drive interest, and it’s going to spread virally.”

Referring to the factory visit, Shawn Vincent, a spokesman for the law firm that defended Zimmerman, told Yahoo News: “That was not part of our public relations plan.”

It’s not just his public outings and repeated brushes with the legal system that have kept Zimmerman in the spotlight.

Martin’s parents were prominent

participants in last month’s 50th anniversary commemoration of the March on Washington, and several civil rights leaders have called for the repeal of “stand-your-ground” laws, which generally remove a person’s duty to retreat if possible in the face of danger.

Even when he helped extricate a family from an overturned SUV in July, Zimmerman couldn’t catch a break.

The grateful couple canceled a news conference, defense attorney Mark O’Mara said, “for the possibility of blowback against them.”

People immediately suggested the incident was staged — or at least poked fun at the timing.

“Let’s get this straight,” Nigel Stevens wrote on the site www. opposingviews.com. “Zimmerman, in his only documented venture into the real world, heroically transforms into Volunteer Paramedic and rescues someone from deadly circumstances. Is this really happening? Aaron Sorkin and Steven Spielberg couldn’t have collaborated to come up with that ending. “

The driver, who has been with the company for almost 15 years, had been on duty for an hour and was fully rested, Kim Plaskett, a spokeswoman for Dallas-based Greyhound Lines Inc., told the Associated Press.

The driver was among the injured, but she said she could not release the person’s name or medical condition due to medical privacy laws.

Plaskett said she couldn’t discuss any

details of the crash or the possible cause.

The company was cooperating with investigators and will talk to the driver and conduct an internal investigation to try to determine what happened, Plaskett said.

The bus just had its regular major annual inspection 14 days ago, Plaskett said. She said drivers also do pre-trip inspections to make sure buses are fit for travel.

Greyhound sent a crisis-response team to

the site to help the customers and authorities as soon as the company was notified of the crash, she said.

A telephone hotline was set up for friends and family members seeking information about the passengers on the bus. The phone number is 800-972-4583.

The skies were clear in the region early Saturday morning, according to the National Weather Service.

which is so nice,” she said.

“This is a cause near and dear to us,” said Jennifer Force, Maggart’s mother who was helping her daughter at the market Saturday morning.

Maggart attended the Troy Farmers Market last week and was excited about the people who stopped at her booth. Maggart and three other Miami East FFA members have participated at the market selling mums, homemade dog treats, tomato and basil and even wood bundles.

“The cool part is when people see we are in the FFA, they stop and share their experience in the FFA when they were in school so that’s been really neat,” Maggart said.

At next Saturday’s Farmers Market, which will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. to coincide with the Taste of Troy event downtown, Maggart said she’ll have a carved pink pumpkin with the ribbon symbolizing breast cancer awareness.

Maggart will be selling the pink pumpkins next Saturday at the last Farmers Market of the season. She will also be selling the pink pump-

kins at the Miami East High School’s volleyball game “Volley for a Cure” as well as at home football games.

Maggart shared how she joined FFA after seeing all the community service projects and education outreach programs that her FFA friends were doing outside of school.

“I had a bunch of friends explain what they do out in the community and I wanted to be a part of it, too,” Maggart said. “I absolutely love it.”

Each FFA member is required to have a Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) program as continued education beyond their agriculture classes at Miami East High School.

The SAE allows FFA members to learn through hands-on experiences and financially gain from their entrepreneurship involvement. Members are encouraged to be engaged and involved in the agriculture industry throughout and beyond their years in high school.

I took packets myself and I’m growing them too, so that’s been a special experience for me,” she said. Maggart said she had never heard of pink pumpkins before growing them as part of her Supervised Agricultural Experience through the FFA program.

Maggart shared her pink pumpkin story with Troy residents on Saturday on Cherry Street at the Troy Farmers Market coordinated by Main Street Troy. While the pumpkins are a lighter pink at this stage in the growing process, the color will deepen in the next several weeks.

“I like when people stop and ask about them,” Maggart said. “Once they see the sign and I tell them how the proceeds will help breast cancer research they share their story with me. Then if they buy a pumpkin, they can share the story with other people who see it because it means something to them.”

As Maggart was sharing her story, one passerby stopped and donated a few dollars to Maggarts’ cause despite not buying a pink pumpkin.

ground in Syria by November. During that month, they are to complete their initial assessment and all mixing and filling equipment for chemical weapons is to be destroyed.

They must be given “immediate and unfettered” access to inspect all sites.

All components of the chemical weapons program are to be removed from the country or destroyed by mid-2014.

“Ensuring that a dictator’s wanton use of chemical weapons never again comes to pass, we believe is worth pursuing and achieving,” Kerry said.

For the moment, the deal may not do much to change the fighting on the ground. But the impasse in the international community over how to react could ease somewhat with the U.S. and Russia also agreeing to immediately press for a U.N. Security Council resolution that enshrines the weapons deal.

They will seek a resolution under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which can authorize both the use of force and nonmilitary measures.

But Russia, which already has rejected three resolutions on Syria, would be sure to veto a U.N. move toward military action, and U.S. officials said they did not contemplate

seeking such an authorization.

“The world will now expect the Assad regime to live up to its public commitments,” Kerry told a news conference at the hotel where round-the-clock negotiations were conducted since Thursday night. “There can be no games, no room for avoidance or anything less than full compliance by the Assad regime.”

Kerry and Lavrov emphasized that the deal sends a strong message not just to Syria but to the world, too, that the use of chemical weapons will not be tolerated.

Lavrov added, cautiously, “We understand that the decisions we have reached today are only the beginning of the road.”

In an interview with Russian state television, Lavrov said the groundwork for such an approach to Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile began in June 2012 when Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin met on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Los Cabos, Mexico.

“Both sides expressed serious concern that it could not be ruled out that the chemical weapons which Syria possessed according to American and our information could fall into the wrong hands,” Lavrov said. The presidents agreed to share information on a regular basis about Syria’s arsenal, he said.

Lavrov said both Russian and U.S. officials went on to contact Syrian leaders to determine the safety of weapons storage.

U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss details of the negotiations, said the U.S. and Russia agreed that Syria had roughly 1,000 metric tons of chemical weapons agents and precursors, including blister agents, such as sulfur and mustard gas and

nerve agents like sarin.

These officials said the two sides did not agree on the number of chemical weapons sites in Syria.

U.S. intelligence believes Syria has about 45 sites associated with chemicals weapons, half of which have “exploitable quantities” of material that could be used in munitions. The Russian estimate is considerably lower; the officials would not say by how much.

U.S. intelligence agencies believe all the stocks remain in government control, the officials said.

Noncompliance by the Assad government or any other party would be referred to the 15-nation Security Council by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. That group oversees the Chemical Weapons Convention, which Syria this past week agreed to join. The U.N. received Syria’s formal notification Saturday and it would be in effect Oct. 14.

The weapons group’s director-general, Ahmet Uzumcu, spoke of adopting “necessary measures” to put in place “an accelerated program to verify the complete destruction” of Syria’s chemical weapons, production facilities and “other relevant capabilities.”

The U.S. and Russia are two of the five permanent Security Council members with a veto. The others are Britain, China, and France.

“There is an agreement between Russia and the United States that non-compliance is going to be held accountable within the Security Council under Chapter 7,” Kerry said. “What remedy is chosen is subject to the debate within the council, which is always true. But there’s a commitment to impose measures.”

Kerry and Lavrov said they agreed on the size of the chemical weapons inventory, and on a speedy timetable and measures for Assad to do away with the toxic agents.

But Syria, a Moscow ally, kept silent on the development, while Obama made clear that “if diplomacy fails, the United States remains prepared to act.”

The deal offers the potential for reviving international peace talks to end a civil war that has claimed more than 100,000 lives and sent 2 million refugees fleeing for safety, and now threatens the stability of the entire Mideast.

Kerry and Lavrov, along with the U.N.-Arab League envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, said the chances for a follow-up peace conference in Geneva to the one held in June 2012 would depend largely on the weapons deal.

The U.S. and Russia are giving Syria just one week, until Sept. 21, to submit “a comprehensive listing, including names, types and quantities of its chemical weapons agents, types of munitions, and location and form of storage, production, and research and development facilities.”

International inspectors are to be on the

PIQUA — As Ohio’s first general and technical college, Edison Community College was a pioneer in a number of areas, beginning with its academic programs.

When the college opened in 1973, six technical programs were developed that led to Associate of Applied Business (Electronics, Drafting and Design, and Architectural/ Civil Construction Technology) and Associate of Applied Science (Accounting, Secretarial Science, and Retail Marketing/ Mid-Management) degrees. Thirty different evening courses were offered in support of these six initial programs when the doors first opened.

Today, Edison runs more than 800 course sections to support more than 30 associate degrees and one-year certificates. We now offer degrees in areas that include: Accounting, Business, Computer Information Technology, Criminal Justice, Early Childhood Education, Electrical, Mechanical and Industrial Management Technologies, Nursing, Paralegal, Physical Therapy Assisting and Social Services.

Edison’s academic programs undergo systematic reviews, which utilize both internal and external stakeholders to ensure that our programs are academically rigorous, and relevant to the needs of the businesses and industries who hire our graduates. In the 21st century, however, rigor and relevance must be accompanied by the right delivery method. In addition to maintaining strong commitment to our brick-and-mortar classroom delivery, Edison also offers programs and courses completely online and in a hybrid online/in-person format. In order for all of this instruction to work, in multiple delivery formats and across so varied a set of programs, Edison has to employ the best and most current technology and learning resources.

Back when the college’s ‘original six’ academic programs were launched, rotary telephones, handwritten memos, and letters produced on typewriters were standard. Now Edison is a leader in the electronic information age. Edison’s course listing is available on the internet, allowing current and prospective students to devise schedules and register for classes through its website. Applicants receive Edison e-mail accounts, and can log on to the Edison network at their leisure. Via OhioLINK, students and faculty can order books from any University in the state and have them delivered within days. They can search one hundred research databases from home or on campus, and save articles to their

laptop, tablet, or mobile device. Every Edison class has an online course site, where discussions take place and documents reside, and many classes now use electronic textbooks.

Although technology is an excellent aid to student persistence, Edison also offers tutoring in the learning center for those times when students need more individualized attention in certain content areas.

Edison allows students and visitors to browse the web with their own wireless devices or on computers in the Internet Café, Library, and Learning Center. “Smart” classrooms are outfitted with PCs and projectors.

Several classrooms allow teleconferencing, so Faculty members can teach in Piqua while their students are present at the Darke County campus in Greenville, or vice versa.

The telephone system is part of the computing network, so all voice messages are sent as recordings attached to e-mails.

All campus information, from student records, to human resources files, to departmental budgets are handled through a master database, integrating all areas of the college. Just as Edison has always invested in new technologies to help ensure student success, it has also done the same to ensure a broad range of student services.

Edison’s student services encompass two distinct functions: getting students enrolled and helping them succeed. Enrollment consists of applying, placement testing, meeting with an adviser, attending orientation, registering for classes and making payment. For most students, payment is made in part or total using financial aid. Student success services take over once students become acquainted with their first semester of classes and include success and academic advising, accommodative services, academic alerts, and student life and athletics.

Most recently, the way students navigate Edison’s services has undergone a major transformation. Students no longer have to be shuffled among multiple staff members to get basic needs met. Employing a ‘personal shopper’ approach, many services are now delivered by front line and phone staffs who meet upwards of 80 percent of student needs. They are supported by service area experts who help when the need is too deep or requires more time to solve.

This is just a snapshot of what Edison offers by way of academic programs, cutting edge technological resources, and student services, but those are hollow concepts unless executed by caring employees. Regardless of where students interact with faculty and staff at Edison, in these areas of others, they will find people deeply committed to student success and who believe in the quality, value, and opportunity that Edison provides.

Next week, the series will take a look at the work of the Edison Foundation and learn about its support of the college and its students.

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP

The Burlington (Vt.) Free Press

President Barack Obama made his strongest national security argument to date for a military strike on Syria, but failed to satisfy key concerns about U.S. involvement in the civil war.

Americans were left with only the president’s assurances that taking sides in yet another complex Middle East conflict would not give strength to extremists in the region.

Obama’s Sept. 10 address on Syria had the marks of what was intended to be a powerful and urgent call to action undermined by the intrusion of lastminute events.

The president was expected to make his case on why Congress — and the American people — must back U.S. action to punish the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the aftermath of a chemical weapons attack.

Instead, President Obama pleaded for patience to give time for a Russian deal to place Syrian chemical weapons under international monitoring to work out.

Complicating the situation is the current antagonism between the U.S. and Russia, especially Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is unlikely to put U.S. interests first.

The United States holds the Assad regime responsible for the Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack on rebel-held territory, action that Obama says calls for action.

Despite the hundreds of thousands killed and millions forced into exile in the two-year-old conflict, the chemical attacks left “the situation profoundly changed,” Obama said.

Without an international response, “the Assad regime will see no reason to stop using chemical weapons,” Obama said.

Weakening the ban on chemical weapons will lead to their proliferation and increased use, increasing the possibility that these weapons would fall into the hands of terrorists, the president said.

All good reasons to punish those who would use chemical weapons, but how to do so effectively?

Will a “targeted military strike” do the job? If not, what next? The president promises no U.S. military forced on the ground in Syria, but how far is this country willing to go?

And if the U.S. strike leads to Assad being overthrown, who will be left to rule Syria?

The president closed his speech with a powerful closing argument: “America is not the world’s policeman. Terrible things happen across the globe, and it is beyond our means to right every wrong. But when, with modest effort and risk, we can stop children

from being gassed to death and thereby make our own children safer over the long run, I believe we should act. That’s what makes America different. That’s what makes us exceptional.”

So the president’s message is, “we should act,” but not quite yet.

The Times, Gainesville, Ga.

Twelve years ago this Wednesday, we were suddenly and stunningly jolted from our naive notion that the world was a much safer place than we had led ourselves to believe.

The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, took 3,000 lives and impacted millions more by jerking the blinders off our heads. So America saddled up, went to war in the Middle East, and eventually earned some measure of justice by taking down many al-Qaida leaders and sending the Taliban running into the hills.

Yet a dozen years later, the Middle East looks no more stable nor peaceful than it was in 2001. That leads many to wonder what U.S. policy should be in the region. It’s a debate without a clear right or a left, nor easy answers, as the nation considers taking action in yet another turbulent locale, Syria.

The 9/11 attacks directly led to the U.S. military action in Afghanistan.

That war has cost 2,200 American lives with success hard to measure, though the No. 2 U.S. commander there, Army Lt. Gen. Mark Milley, said last week he believes victory still can be won before forces withdraw at the end of 2014.

The terror attacks also indirectly led to the U.S. invasion of Iraq a year later, based on the belief Saddam Hussein’s regime had supported the terrorists and amassed destructive weapons. Our nation committed more than 4,400 lives and billions of dollars in a divisive engagement that many still believe was a mistake.

Now civil war in Syria pits Bashar Assad’s government against revolutionaries seeking to add that country to the Arab Spring list of toppled dictators that included Libya’s Gadhafi and Egypt’s Mubarak. His armed forces’ apparent use of chemical weapons in a recent battle has the Obama administration seeking “targeted, limited” airstrikes against some of his military sites.

The two likely outcomes of such an attack by the U.S. both seem undesirable.

If we learned anything from these messy Mideast uprisings it’s that removing one group of bad actors doesn’t lead to peace, stability and democracy — usually just to a different group of equally bad actors who impose their own brand of oppressive rule and political retribution. Good guys in that region are hard to find and to support when regimes change

THEY SAID IT “Social media is basically everything when it comes to getting your music heard. My media guy, Weston Bakos, started the Twitter page at the beginning of August and we are already up to over 16,000 followers. It’s mind blowing on how involved the followers get and how excited they are to hear the new record. It feels surreal to have people from all around the country giving me support and hoping that we will make a stop in their town to play a show. I’m blessed to be in the position I am in right now — and so excited for all my fans to hear the record.”

iPads in movie theaters a terrible idea I have a habit, in this space, of saying some very intentionally inflammatory or contrary things.

I think and feel like this is an important thing for a newspaper to do — if everything I said was everything you all already agreed with, it’d pretty much be a waste of time. Instead, I try to challenge people to look at things from a different point of view, from outside of the little box of their own beliefs, and above all else, to try to inject some common sense into discussions that everyone else seems to be on one extreme or another with no desire to move towards the middle — where everyone should be — at all.

This week, though, I have a feeling that everyone’s going to be able to get behind me on this one.

(With a buildup and intro like that, you may expect this to be some huge hot-button issue that has major global ramifications.

Nope. Not even close). iPads have absolutely no place in movie theaters.

Yet Disney is actually encouraging children to bring them and use them at one of their movies. And when the usually solid company re-released “The Little Mermaid” on Friday the 13th, they may as well have turned Jason Vorhees loose in every theater and had him

you paid for is just a stupid idea, and Disney should be ashamed for even thinking it would be acceptable in the slightest.

They claim to have gotten “positive responses” from a test of this in theaters last year. But that’s just the corporate dimwits that came up with the idea in the first place trying not to lose their jobs. And luckily, Disney is only testing this out for this particular movie in 16 theaters in the company.

Because I love “The Little Mermaid.” It’s my favorite Disney movie of all time. And I want to go see it — without it being ruined by a horde of children and their expensive toys that should have been left at home.

Now would be the perfect time for every theater within a 50-mile radius to come up with policies against iPads in the theaters.

Forget about including them with the cell phone warning — because too few people pay attention to that anyway. No, do not allow tablet computers in the theaters.

Search purses and bags if you have to. Confiscate them. Just keep them out.

Cut this off now before it actually becomes a problem.

Rescue workers issue stern warning to flooded towns school, Shultz floated the idea of walking back into the funky mountain town.

“If we hike back, I would stay there and just live. I’d rather be at our own house than staying at some other people’s houses,” he said.

His wife, Meagan Harrington, gave him a wry smile. About 10 of their neighbors declined to evacuate, she said.

“They said they wouldn’t force you, but it was strongly encouraged,” she said.

Shultz teared up behind his sunglasses as he compared his situation to that of his neighbors.

“At least all of our stuff’s there and will be there when we get back.

The people right by the river, their houses were washed away. Other people thought their houses were going to be OK, and then they started to go.

It’s just really devastating.”

Across the foothills, rescuers made progress against the floodwaters.

But they were still unable to go up many narrow canyon roads that were either underwater or washed out.

On Saturday, the surge of water reached the plains east of the mountains, cutting off more communities and diverting some rescue operations.

Four people have been confirmed dead since the harrowing floods began Wednesday. And hundreds of others have not been heard from in the flood zone, which has grown to cover portions

of an area nearly the size of Connecticut.

Some of those who are unaccounted for may be stranded or injured.

Others might have gotten out but not yet contacted friends and relatives, officials said.

Police expected to find more bodies as the full scope of damage emerges.

A woman was missing and presumed dead after witnesses saw floodwaters from the Big Thompson River destroy her home in the Cedar Cove area, Larimer County sheriff’s spokesman John Schulz said.

“I expect that we’re going to continue to receive reports of confirmed missing and confirmed fatalities throughout the next several days,” he said.

The military put more troops on the ground and helicopters in the air to aid in the search-and-rescue effort. More rain was in the forecast.

By Saturday evening, more than 1,200 people had been evacuated over two days, National Guard Lt. Col. Mitch Utterback said.

A helicopter taking Gov. John Hickenlooper on a tour of the flooded areas stopped to pick up four stranded people and their two pets. The governor tweeted about the impromptu rescue, and spokesman Eric Brown confirmed it but did not have any details.

By truck and helicopter, thousands of people stranded by floodwaters came down from the Colorado Rockies on Friday, two days after seemingly endless rain turned normally scenic rivers and creeks into coffee-colored rapids that wrecked scores of roads and wiped out neighborhoods.

on higher ground.

“You could hear the choppers for miles and miles, but I didn’t know if they were evacuating people. You see a chopper going down behind a ridge, and you have no clue,” Kishiyama said.

In addition to his son’s efforts, Kishiyama said his wife shouted at the chopper, “We have babies!”

Above the plains of Larimer County, rescue crews planned to fly as many missions as possible while skies were clear.

Crews used inflatable boats to pick up families and pets from farmhouses. Some evacuees on horseback had to be escorted to safe ground.

A bridge collapsed near the northern Veracruz city of Misantla Friday, cutting off the area from the state capital. Thirteen people died when a landslide buried their homes in heavy rains spawned

by Tropical Depression Fernand on Monday.

State officials imposed an orange alert, the highest possible, in parts of southern Veracruz.

Off Mexico’s Pacific coast, Tropical Storm Manuel was moving with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 kph). It was 75 miles (120 kilometers) off the city of Lazaro Cardenas and 185 miles (300 kilometers) southeast of Manzanillo. A tropical

storm warning was in effect from Acapulco to Manzanillo.

Manuel was expected to produce 10 to 15 inches of rain over parts of the Mexican states of Oaxaca and Guerrero, and life-threatening flash floods and mudslides were considered likely.

Elsewhere, the remnants of Tropical Storm Humberto were swirling in the Atlantic, far from land. It was expected to regenerate in a couple of days, according to the Hurricane Center.

Hurricane Center says Ingrid will probably make landfall, the government said in a statement that Independence Day festivities were cancelled in the cities of Tampico, Madero and Altamira. The Sept. 15 and 16 celebrations commemorate Mexico’s battle of independence from Spain.

Officials in the Gulf state of Veracruz began evacuating coastal residents Friday night, and local civil protection authorities said that more than 5,300 people had been moved to safer ground. Of those, about 3,500 people were being housed in official shelters with the rest staying with family and friends.

There were no immediate reports of injuries blamed on the storm.

XALAPA, Mexico (AP) — Ingrid became the second hurricane of the Atlantic storm season off Mexico on Saturday, prompting the evacuation of several thousand people while Tropical Storm Manuel threatened to cause flash floods and mudslides on the opposite side of the country.

On Saturday evening, Hurricane Ingrid was packing maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph). The storm was centered about 195 miles (315 km) east of Tuxpan, Mexico and moving north at 7 mph (11 km).

The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said that if Ingrid stays on the forecast track, it’s likely to reach the coast of Mexico on Monday.

With supplies dwindling, residents of Lyons barbecued their food before it spoiled.

In one Boulder neighborhood, residents turned back city crews and machinery that arrived to remove the makeshift berms and sand-filled trash bags protecting their homes.

University of Colorado students helped homeowners improvise a way to divert the rising water from Gregory Creek.

“The residents know better than anybody else how the water flows through the neighborhood,” said Colleen Scanlan Lyons.

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — As rescuers broke through to flood-ravaged Colorado towns, they issued a stern warning Saturday to anyone thinking of staying behind: Leave now or be prepared to endure weeks without electricity, running water and basic supplies.

National Guard helicopters and truck convoys carried the admonition into paralyzed canyon communities where thousands of stranded residents were eager to escape the Rocky Mountain foothills. But not everybody was willing to go. Dozens of people in the isolated community of Jamestown wanted to stay to watch over their homes.

Authorities made clear that residents who chose not to leave might not get another chance for a while.

“We’re not trying to force anyone from their home. We’re not trying to be forceful, but we’re trying to be very factual and definitive about the consequences of their decision, and we hope that they will come down,” Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle said.

Special education teacher Brian Shultz, 38, was torn about leaving his Jamestown home.

“I was thinking about staying. I could have lasted at least a year. I have a lot of training in wilderness survival,” he said, adding that he probably had enough beer to last the whole time.

Hawks top Vikings in rematch

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com

CASSTOWN — In a grudge match against the only team that beat them last year, the Miami East Vikings came out on a mission.

But once Bishop Hartley settled in and worked the momentum into its favor, there was little East could do to swing it back.

The Vikings (7-3) were on fire from the start and won the first game in convincing fashion, but STAFF PHOTO/ANTHONY WEBER the Hawks — the No. 4 team in Miami East’s Allison Morrett (3) and Ashley Current (32) go up for the state in Division II — won a a block against Bishop Hartley Saturday at Miami East High hard-fought second game and School. then used its athleticism to dom-

“They responded,” Miami East volleyball coach John Cash said. “We came at them pretty tough in that first game. We had them doing what we wanted them to do. In the second game, though, we had some untimely service errors where we could have pushed ahead, but that didn’t happen. And I think that took a little of our confidence away.”

Confidence boost Trojans, T-Bolts fight to 0-0 draw

BY COLIN FOSTER Associate Sports Editor colinfoster@tdnpublishing.com

TROY — It’s been an up-and-down season for Troy to this point.

But the Trojans may have got the confidence booster they needed on Saturday. Troy went toeto-toe with Northmont, the No. 2 ranked team in the Miami Valley Scholastic Soccer Coaches Association poll, and played to a 0-0 draw in Greater Western Ohio Conference crossover play at Troy Memorial Stadium.

“Northmont’s had some good results this week,” Troy coach Michael Rasey said. “Knocking off Springboro and Beavercreek in the same week, certainly they’re going to come in with a lot of confidence. They entered today No. 2 in the Dayton coaches’ poll, so they definitely garner some respect from other area programs.

“They are a very dangerous team, and I’m proud of the way our girls fought today. I thought the game could have went either way. Both teams left it all on the field, and I thought it was very even. It would have been nice to walk out of here with a win, but given the team today and where Troy’s Courtney Mazzulla heads the ball to a teammate Saturday at Troy Memorial Stadium ■ See TROJANS on A10 against Northmont.

ALLIANCE — Troy’s top four boys cross country runners have been strong all year — a trend that continued Saturday at the Alliance Invitational.

But the question all season has been whether the fifth man could step up and close the gap.

That happened to a certain extent Saturday, but Troy coach Bob Campbell hopes it can be closed even tighter by the end of the season.

Troy’s top four runners finished in the top 25 and all ran times under 17 minutes, while fifth runner Josh Spayde placed 105th (18:02), as the Trojans took third as a team (169). Centerville (65) won the meet and Carroll was second.

“As a team, the boys ran a strong race,” Campbell said. “To put four runners in the top 25 was an accomplishment.

Hopefully the guys can shorten the gap between our fourth and fifth in the next couple of weeks.”

Sophomore Stephen Jones tied Levi Fox’s sophomore record time (16:09) to finish sixth overall. Branden Nosker placed 15th (16:31), Blake Guillozet took 18th (16:33) and Troy Schultz finished 25th (16:50). Alex Meier (132nd, 18:58) and Parker Hench (140th, 19:13) rounded out the top seven.

Tippecanoe, which is state ranked in Division II, competed in the D-I race and finished fifth as a team (183 points) — with an average time of 16:58.

Leading the Red Devils was Mitch Poynter, who placed 13th (16:26). Jay Schairbaum took 19th (16:34), Daniel Frame finished 34th (16:57), Evan Wharton placed 60th (17:24) and Jacob Stillwagon ended in 65th (17:27). Jared Rindler finished 67th (17:29) and Michael Taylor placed 69th overall (17:31).

The Tippecanoe girls team lost by the closest of margins in the Division I race.

The Red Devils, also stateranked in Division II, finished runner-up with 86 points compared to Springboro’s 85. As a team, Tipp averaged a time of 19:29.

Allison Sinning (second, 18:19) led the way for the Devils.

Buckeyes win big

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Kenny Guiton threw three of his four touchdown passes in the first six minutes of his first career start and No. 4 Ohio State rolled to its 15th straight victory, 52-34 over California on Saturday.

Guiton, a fifth-year senior, got the start in place of injured Braxton Miller and there was no drop-off in performance for the Buckeyes (3-0).

Guiton connected with Devin Smith on a 90-yard pass on Ohio State’s second offensive play for the longest play from scrimmage in school history. He added a 47-

yard touchdown to Smith and a 1-yarder to Chris Fields on fourth-and-goal as Ohio State jumped out to a 21-0 lead over the Golden Bears (1-2) less than halfway through the first quarter.

Guiton completed 21 of 32 passes for 276 yards and added 92 yards rushing to lead the Buckeyes.

Jordan Hall added 168 yards on the ground and three touchdowns as Ohio State extended the longest winning streak in AP PHOTO major college football by outgun- Ohio State’s Devin Smith, left, outruns California’s Damariay Drew ning the Bears in a high-paced (27) for a touchdown during the first quarter Saturday in Berkeley, Calif. offensive game.

Battle after battle Trojans overcome obstacles on way to season’s 1st win

BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor dfong@civitasmedia.com Just three weeks into the season, the Troy football team already has faced many battles — with injuries, turnovers, lack of depth and inexperience, to name a few.

Heading into Week 4, however, there’s one thing the Trojans won’t be battling … history.

With a 30-23 win over Xenia Friday, the Trojans were able to avoid an 0-3 start.

Had Troy started 0-3, it faced some long odds for the of the reason. In the 116-year history of Troy football, only 10 teams started the season 0-3. It last happened in 1982, when the Trojans went on to finish 0-10. The combined record of the 10 teams to start 0-3 is 17-611.

“We needed this win,” Troy coach Scot Brewer said. “We needed it bad.”

With a 1-2 start, the Trojans now face more favorable history. Two teams that started 1-2 — the 1986 team and the 2004 team — started the season 1-2 and still managed to qualify for the playoffs. The 1986 team finished with an 8-2 regular-season record, while the 2004 team finished the regular season 7-3.

It is, however, way too early to start talking about the postseason for this year’s team. Every game is going to be a battle for the Trojans this year. Up next is an athletic Springfield team that may be 0-3 — but that record is deceiving. Last year, the Wildcats went 1-9 — but their only win was against Troy.

First, however, some final notes from Troy’s 3023 win over Xenia: • Player of the Game There really is only one option here.

Senior tailback Miles Hibbler had a career night for the Trojans, carrying the ball 42 times for 248 yards, four touchdowns and a two-point conversion. He was, in essence, the Trojan offense. His 42 carries were the most by a Trojan running back since Corey Brown passed th 40carry mark against Piqua in 2007.

For Hibbler, it was a game three years in the making. He’s shown flashes of brilliance throughout his career, but injuries and illness have largely derailed his tremendous potential. Troy’s experiment with Hibbler at cornerback appears to be over.

He’ll likely only see the defensive side of the ball when the Trojans desperately need to stop the pass.

PHOTO COURTESY LEE WOOLERY/SPEEDSHOT PHOTO

Troy’s Miles Hibbler led the Trojans to their first win of the season Friday night at Xenia.

With 468 rushing yards on the season, Hibbler is on pace to become the first Troy runnning back to gain more than 1,000 yards in a season since Matt Allen did it in 2008.

• Unsung Hero of the Game After giving up more than 30 points in its first two games — the first Troy defense to do that in consecutive games since the 2008 team gave up 48 and 35 points to Centerville and Wayne, respectively — Troy’s defense was feeling the heat going into Week 3.

While it was far from a flawless effort against the Buccaneers — the Trojans still are missing way too many tackles — Troy’s defense is starting to show signs of life. Yes, it gave up more than 400 yards in total offense Friday, but it also made big plays when it had. Holding Xenia to three field goals instead of giving up touchdowns turned out to be the difference in the game.

In short, Troy’s defense bent, but it certainly didn’t break. It may never be the dominant defense the Trojans have grown accustomed to the past five years, but it certainly has made strides since the beginning of the season.

• Play of the Game Troy quarterback Matt Barr may only have had two carries the entire

game — 40 less than Hibbler, to put things in perspective — the game may have turned on one of his runs in the third quarter.

After Xenia had taken a 16-14 lead with 2:53 to play in the third, Troy faced a third-and-7 at its own 33. With Xenia riding a wave of momentum after erasing a 14-3 Trojan lead, a stop by the Buccaneers could have made the difference in the game.

Barr took the snap from center Austin Eidemiller and rolled to his left. When he couldn’t find an open receiver, he tucked the ball and used his underappreciated speed to scramble 12 yards for the first down.

Three plays later, Hibbler broke loose on a 39-yard touchdown run to put Troy up 22-16, a lead it would never relinquesh.

• What We Learned Troy did more than just win the game Friday — it established its identity.

One thing would appear to be certain from here on out — teams are going to have to find a way to stop Hibbler. Through three games, no one has done it yet. He’s rushed for more than 100 yards and scored at least one touchdown in all three of the Trojans’ games.

That being said, Hibbler no longer is a secret. Teams are going to

be lining up to stop him from here on out. Troy — which passed for just 18 yards Friday — is going to have to find a way to keep teams off-balance. Barr is talented enough to make that happen.

Defensively, the Trojans took baby steps forward.

Tackling remains an issue, but Troy seems to be making strides in finding the right personnel to put on the field. It’s taken a lot of shuffling, but Friday showed signs the Trojans are starting to find the right combinations on that side of the ball.

• What Happens Now The last thing Troy can afford at this point is a letdown.

While Friday’s win was huge for the Trojans, they aren’t the type of team that can just show up and expect to win. Every week, it seems, is going to be a battle. Springfield is 0-3 — but as was pointed out earlier, won its only game of the year last season against the Trojans.

The Wildcats are loaded with athletes, which makes Springfield exactly the type of team that has given the Trojans fits all season.

Troy took a huge step forward against the Buccaneers, but must keep working and improving.

Taking a step back could spell disaster.

3 unbeatens left standing

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com

Tippecanoe and Miami East have two things in common this season.

They’re both currently undefeated at 3-0.

And they’ve both beaten Milton-Union to get there.

That’s where the similarities end, though, after the Red Devils scored on seven straight possessions and didn’t punt once in a 49-0 rout of the Bulldogs Friday night in MiltonUnion’s home opener.

Added up, Tippecanoe has outscored its opponents 159-14 so far this season, with Greenville’s two touchdowns being the only blemishes on its defense’s scoresheet.

It also marks the third straight season in which the Devils started out at least 3-0 since losing the season opener to Graham in 2009.

Miami East, meanwhile, is 3-0 for the first time since 1984 — almost 30 years. The Vikings came from behind to beat the Bulldogs in Week 1 18-14, then they blasted a pair of

Tippecanoe’s Jacob Hall scores the Red Devils’ first touchdown of the night against Milton-Union Friday.

The Devils went on to score on the next six possessions, also, and won 49-0.

Cross County Conference opponents in the following weeks. Michael Fellers ran wild in the Vikings’ 49-0 win over Ansonia Friday, scoring four rushing touchdowns and catching one, as well.

Tippecanoe and Miami East will look to protect those unbeaten records on the road in Week 4, with the Devils traveling to Indian Lake and the Vikings to Arcanum.

Milton-Union, meanwhile, will remain at home against Bellbrook in search of win No. 1.

Miami County boasts one more unbeaten team, too — the Covington Buccaneers. The Buccs continued their CCC domination on their Hall of Fame night with a 56-0 win over winless Mississinawa Valley. And A.J. Ouellette continued to make the end zone his

home, scoring three rushing touchdowns, returning a punt 97 yards for a score and even throwing a 10yard touchdown pass to Zakk Williams — the Buccs’ only completed pass on the night.

Up next for the Buccs is a trip to Bethel, where the Bees just finished beating Bradford 28-6. Four different Bees — Jacob Tumey, Mason Kretzer, Jimmy Pelphrey and Jacob Moon — scored touchdowns as Bethel avenged a loss from last season and improved to 2-1.

Bradford, on the other hand, will look for its first win at home against National Trail.

The Lehman Cavaliers also improved to 2-1 on the season, beating London on the road 48-26, while both Piqua and Lima Senior were left wondering what happened to their defenses in a 49-42 loss by the Indians. Lehman hosts Perry in Week 4 to start league play, while Piqua travels to Beavercreek for its next-to-last tuneup before GWOC North play kicks off.

Vikings outlast Indians for 2-0 win Staff Reports

Troy’s Maci Wadsworth battles with a Northmont player for control of the ball Saturday at Troy Memorial Stadium.

TROJANS n Continued from page A7

we are right now, I’ll take a tie over a loss for sure.”

The first half went by without much noise, with most of the action taking place in the midfield area before entering the break scoreless.

The Thunderbolts, however, would force the action to pick up in the second half.

And Troy goalie Arianna Garcia can attest to that.

The T-Bolts mounted many shot attempts in the early stages of the second half, but Garcia was there to stop every single one of them. Garcia had a huge diving save with 32 minutes left to play. Two minutes later, Northmont had a high bouncing shot, which Garcia punched out just before going in the net.

Though Troy’s offense struggled to get good looks, it did get two big chances with 19 minutes remaining in the game. Gracie Huffman received a nice pass from Courtney Mazzulla inside the box then let loose with a clean look at the goal, but the ball was deflected right back at her. She tried again but the ball was blocked and cleared out of the zone.

“We talk all the time about missed opportunities,” Rasey said. “When you get it down there, especially in a game like this, those are the ones that have to get in the back of the net. To her credit and to the whole team’s credit, just even creating those opportunities is a good thing. It’s a step up from where we’ve been against some other difficult teams with limited chances.”

Two minutes later, Garcia made a charging stop on a Northmont direct kick. She then had another save from her knees with 10 minutes left and another big one with four minutes to play.

“That’s what we saw of her heading into the season. She’s a very, very capable goalkeeper,” said Rasey of Garcia. “We’re actually very blessed. We have two very good goal keepers, Maddy Innes the sophomore, and then Arianna, the freshman.

“They knew going into the season they would have big shoes to fill, but Garcia has stepped up. She’s had some very good games, and this is probably one of her best games so far.” The Trojans (3-3-2) play at Butler Wednesday.

CASSTOWN — The Miami East Vikings, hosting a Piqua team still smarting from a 6-0 loss to Butler on Thursday night, fought hard and came away with a 2-0 victory to improve to 6-3 on the season.

“We came out strong and found our stride early,” Miami East coach Adam Bell said. “Both teams played solid ball. Hard work, hustle and determination found us two good goals.”

The first one of those came 13 minutes into the game when Devyn Carson and Devin Baldasare hooked up with Austin Kowalak to put the Vikings up 1-0.

That was the way things stayed until halftime, but 10 minutes into the second half the Vikings got the insurance they needed when Carson crossed it to Baldasare for a score.

Jacob Brown notched the shutout in goal for the Vikings, who travel to Stivers Monday.

Piqua (3-5-1), meanwhile, returns to Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division play Tuesday, hosting Sidney.

Newton 8, Milton-Union 1 PLEASANT HILL — Two Indians had hat tricks Saturday as Newton (3-3-2) defeated Milton-Union 8-1 at Newton.

Jonny White had three goals and two assists and Treyton Lavy had three goals and one assist for the Indians. Moustafa Simpara and Logan Welbaum each had one goal, while Kyle Dimido, Rhett Gipe and Nick Honeycutt each had an assist.

Cody Beeler scored the lone goal for the Bulldogs (2-7) on an assist fron Jared Spencer.

Newton hosts Butler Monday, while Milton-Union travels to Waynesville Thursday.

Lehman 0, Ottoville 0 SIDNEY — The Lehman Cavaliers fought to a 0-0 tie against Ottoville Saturday.

Lehman hosts Bethel Tuesday.

• Girls Newton 2, Milton-Union 1 PLEASANT HILL — The Newton Indians rallied Saturday, coming back from a goal down to defeat the

visiting Milton-Union Bulldogs 2-1 to reach the .500 mark on the season.

Danielle McFarland scored first for Milton-Union (4-4-1) with an assist from Josie Berberich, but that was all the Newton defense allowed.

Erin Sweitzer tied the game up on a feed from Morgan Miller, then Sweitzer set up the game-winning goal by Trelissa Lavy.

Newton (4-4-1) hosts Butler Monday, while Milton-Union will look to get back on track Tuesday at home against Carlisle in Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division play.

Lehman 2, Summit Country Day 1 SIDNEY — Lehman remained undefeated on the season after Saturday’s narrow victory over Summit Country Day, 2-1.

The Cavaliers (6-0-1) took a 2-0 lead as Sara Fuller scored on an assist from Ashley Keller and Taylor Lachey scored on a feed from Elizabeth Edwards. Summit Country Day (5-2) cut that lead in half but could get no closer.

The Cavaliers host Bethel Monday.

McCarron, No. 1 Alabama outduel Texas A&M COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — AJ McCarron threw four touchdown passes — one less than Johnny Manziel — and No. 1 Alabama beat No. 6 Texas A&M 49-42 on Saturday, paying back the Aggies for last season’s upset win.

Vinnie S unseri returned an interception 73 yards for a score — sidestepping Manziel on the way to the end zone — as the Crimson Tide (2-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) spotted the Aggies (2-1, 0-1) a 14-0 lead before scoring the next 35 points.

McCarron tossed three touchdowns in the first half to put Alabama up 28-14. Sunseri’s score made it 35-14 less than 3 minutes into the third.

Manziel threw for a career-best 464 yards but a first-half interception in the end zone swung the game the Tide’s way, and his third-quarter pick and whiff on the tackle put the Aggies in a deep hole.

Alabama’s best defense was its offense. The Tide gained 568 yards and kept Manziel on the bench with a couple of long drives.

Manziel found Mike Evans for a 95-yard pass and run that made it 42-35 with 8:04 left.

Evans finished with 279 yards on seven catches.

On third-and-goal from the 5, McCarron flipped to Jalston Fowler for the touchdown that made

it 49-35 with 2:28 left.

Manziel threw one more TD with 15 seconds left, but Alabama grabbed the onside kick.

No. 2 Oregon 59, Tennessee 14 EUGENE, Ore. — Marcus Mariota threw for a career-high 456 yards and four touchdowns for Oregon. Freshman Johnny Mundt, who replaced ailing tight end Colt Lyerla, had five catches for 121 yards and two TDs for the Ducks (3-0). Josh Huff added six catches for 125 yards and a score.

Mariota, who completed 23 of 33 passes, was the first Oregon quarterback to throw for more than 400 yards in a game since Kellen Clemens in 2005. The sophomore quarterback’s yardage ties for the third-most in a game in school history.

No. 5 Stanford 34, Army 20 WEST POINT, N.Y. — Kevin Hogan threw for three touchdowns and Tyler Gaffney had two touchdowns and 132 yards rushing for Stanford.

The Cardinal (2-0) entered the game as 30-point favorites but had their hands full from the opening kickoff, falling behind 6-0 to the much smaller Black Knights (1-2).

No. 7 Louisville 27, Kentucky 13 LEXINGTON, Ky. — Senorise Perry ran for 100 yards and two

touchdowns and Teddy Bridgewater overcame a shaky start to pass for 250 yards for Louisville, which scored on four consecutive drives to pull away from its instate rival.

The Cardinals (3-0) forced three turnovers, including two in their territory to preserve the win.

No. 10 Fla. St. 62, Nevada 7 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Jameis Winston accounted for three touchdowns and Florida State’s four tailbacks all scored.

Devonta Freeman ran nine times for 109 yards and a touchdown for the Seminoles (2-0) and James Wilder Jr. added 45 yards and a score.

Karlos Williams may have been the most impressive of the bunch. The former safety, who moved to offense after the season opener, ran eight times for 110 yards and a score.

His 65-yard run made it 31-7 early in the third quarter.

No. 11 Mich. 28, Akron 24 ANN ARBOR, Mich.

— Fitzgerald Toussaint scored a go-ahead, 2-yard touchdown with 2:49 left and Michigan made a desperately needed stop on the final play to hold on.

College football’s winningest program avoided getting upset at home — as it did against Appalachian State and

Toledo — by a MidAmerican Conference team that hasn’t won a road game in nearly five years and was expected to lose by more than five touchdowns.

No. 14 Okl. 51, Tulsa 20 NORMAN, Okla. — Blake Bell passed for 413 yards and four touchdowns in his first start for Oklahoma.

Sterling Shepard caught eight passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns — all career highs — and Jaz Reynolds had 109 yards receiving and one score for Oklahoma (3-0).

The Sooners scored on their first five possessions against Tulsa (1-2) to continue their dominance in the series, having won 12 of the last 13 games between the instate rivals.

No. 16 UCLA 41, No. 23 Neb. 21 LINCOLN, Neb. — Brett Hundley threw three touchdown passes in the third quarter and UCLA came back from an 18-point deficit.

The Huskers (2-1), wearing alternate black jerseys instead of their traditional home red, looked to be in total control the first half. The Bruins (2-0) scored 35 straight points in 16 minutes. The barrage started with Paul Perkins’ 10-yard touchdown run to cut Nebraska’s lead to 21-10 the halftime.

finisher for the Bradford girls, taking 21st in a time of 22:34.

• Galion Invitational GALION — Troy’s girls finished ninth at the Galion Invitational Saturday, running their best times of the season.

“We travel two and a half hours to Galion for a reason, and that’s to run fast,” Troy coach Kevin Alexander said. “And today the girls sure did.”

Natalie Snyder finished 33rd in 20:30, Rachel Davidson was 45th (20:45), Abby Pence was 46th (20:45), Bridget McCormick was 49th (20:48), Morgan Cockerham was 81st (21:23), Anya North was 89th (21:32) and KatieGrace Sawka was 98th (21:51).

“Not only did the girls post their fastest times of the season, they ran aggressively — which I

am most pleased with,” Alexander said.

• Eaton Invitational EATON — Covington’s girls may have finished third at the Eaton Invitational Saturday, but it was the individual drama on the boys’ side that stole the show.

Newton’s Brady McBride and Troy Christian’s Zac Garver duked it out for second and third. In the end, McBride took runnerup (16:46) and Garver finished third (16:49).

Carly Shell was the runner-up for the Buccaneer girls (19:28) to lead Covington to a third-place finish with 100 points.

Anna Dunn was seventh (20:28), Hannah Retz was 21st (21:26), Heidi Cron was 31st (22:01) and Julianna Yingst was 50th (23:07).

Troy Christian’s girls were 12th (374), with Megan Fletcher leading the way in 79th (24:49).

Marieke van Haaren finished 68th (24:16) to lead the Bethel girls.

Covington’s boys were seventh as a team (209).

Alex Schilling was 17th (17:40), Nate Dunn was 33rd (17:58), Lane White was 39th (18:08), Sam Sherman was 64th (19:08) and Steven Shane was 77th (19:40).

Bethel’s boys, who finished 18th (548), were led by Chase Heck in 89th (20:10).

VIKINGS n Continued from page A7

a second straight D-III state championship.

Saturday, Miami East looked underrated at No. 12 in the state in D-III in the first game. A string of three Angie Mack kills punctuated a six-point run as the Vikings took a quick 7-1 lead, then East won eight out of 10 points during another stretch to pull ahead 17-6. The Hawks tried to chip their way back into contention, but Sam Cash put down a kill on game point to give the Vikings a 1-0 lead.

“They’re a two-time defending state champion,” Hartley coach Mike Brae said. “They’ve always been strong, and we’ve got to remember that. Both programs are strong, and it’s fun to be able to play good, quality teams.”

Game 2 gave the fans a taste of state tournament-

level competition as both heavyweights threw haymaker after haymaker.

Sam Cash had seven kills in the game and Allison Morrett had three kills and a block to lead the Vikings, who held the lead as late as 19-18.

But Madeline Brandewie spread four kills and a block throughout the game, Kristen Chatman added three kills and a block and Erin Chatman had three kills — including one that made the score 23-21 Hartley late. An East error made it 24-21 before Morrett scored on a tip kill, but a service error allowed the Hawks to even up the overall match score.

After that, Hartley jumped out to a 7-1 lead in Game 3 and a 5-0 lead in Game 2 and never really looked back. The Vikings trailed 20-8 at one point in

Game 4 before a four-point service run by Lindsey Black and a three-point run

by Morrett helped close the gap to 23-18 before the Hawks put it away.

“We aren’t going to see a team with that kind of athleticism ever again.

Hartley is a class program, and it’s an honor to get to pay against them,” John Cash said. “(When trying to get momentum back after losing it) it’s all about trying to get the kids refocused on the gameplan. In the fourth game, we got there late — but not early.”

Sam Cash finished with 15 kills, five digs, three blocks, an ace and 15 assists and Morrett had a triple-double with 10 kills, 10 digs, 15 assists and a block to lead the Vikings, who travel to Twin Valley South Tuesday and hosts Tri-County North

Thursday before hosting its first-ever volleyball invitational on Saturday.

Mack added seven kills, three digs and an ace, Ashley Current had four kills and a block, Trina Current had two kills, three blocks, an ace and a dig, Kati Runner had two kills, Black had 11 digs and Anna Kiesewetter had 14 digs and an assist.

Still, the match was anything but a total loss for the Vikings, who had been looking to truly test themselves again.

“This was the best practice we’ve had all year,” John Cash said. “We did some things that we hadn’t done all year, some things that we just threw in in practice this week, and we scored on them and they worked.

“Now is where the training wheels come off.”

TROY — Disappointing losses, dominant wins and one particularly rousing come-from-behind victory in arguably the most important match of the year.

Troy’s season has been up and down to say the least, and after the Trojans hit their biggest high on Thursday in a crucial five-game win at Butler Thursday, they left the Trojan Activities Center feeling pretty low after being swept by Versailles 25-15, 25-7, 25-14.

“Consistency is the theme of our whole season,” Troy volleyball coach Michelle Owen said. “When we can put together a consistent performance, we look solid all around and look good. But when we’re not consistent, it exposes our weaknesses.”

And a team like Versailles — the No. 11 team in the state in Division III — knows how to exploit any of those it finds.

“Our ball control was really bad,” Owen said.

“We scored the first point of Game 2, sided-out and then didn’t see the ball again until point 12. We were aced nine times in that game.

“We also learned how nonexistent our front row presence is. Today really showed how sluggish our blocking game is. We’ve got to improve our overall front row presence to help out our back row defense.”

Emily Moser had six kills and 10 digs and Lauren Freed had six kills and nine digs to lead the Trojans (8-5), who travel to Trotwood Tuesday.

Leah Selby added three kills and three digs, Jillian Ross had three kills, Katie DeMeo had two kills, Abby Brinkman had 12 digs, Ashton Riley had seven digs and Leslie Wynkoop had 18 assists and four digs.

“We’ve got to push forward,” Owen said. “This was just a quality opponent that always gives us a tough match. Playing them hopefully will help us to fix the things we need to fix for when we play teams like Lebanon and Centerville in the GWOC Tournament.”

Working dogs

Canines, handlers help recover missing persons Melody Vallieu

Staff Writer vallieu@tdnpublishing.com

Most dogs are content with chasing a stick or tennis ball.

But an elite few have a higher calling — to help save lives.

Such is the job of members of Buckeye Search and Rescue Dogs, an allvolunteer organization of canines and their handlers whose mission is to help local, state and federal emergency services agencies locate missing people.

Because BSARD is not a government agency, the group is not restricted to any county or state boundaries and is available at all times to perform searches at no cost to agencies or families.

The organization was founded in 2004 and currently has 17 active members and 25 dogs — ranging in age from the cusp of retirement to 11-weekold puppies.

Gloria Napier of Loveland, the team leader, said not every dog is meant to be a search and rescue dog. She said one has to look for certain personalities in the dogs — high intellect, high energy, high drive and independence.

“They are basically the pups that are the pains in the butt … because they need a job,” Napier said during a recent training session at Stillwater Prairie Reserve in Covington.

Dogs on the team include German shepherds, a Belgian Malinois, Labrador retrievers, bloodhounds, golden retriever, husky, Norwegian elkhounds and several mixed breeds.

She said training begins when the dogs are puppies or when older dogs are first acquired by their new owners. Scent training for the dogs begins at just a few feet away and continues until dogs are following scents for 1 1/2-2 miles.

Napier has a very per-

sonal reason why search and rescue is important to her — the loss of a dear friend.

She said a family friend went missing in 1973 and was eventually found having drowned in the Little Miami River. Her father recovered the body after a week.

“It took probably 10 years of soul searching to decide this is something I wanted to do,” said Napier, with tears welling up in her eyes.

She said she started with another group and then broke off — with several other members — to form Buckeye Search and Rescue Dogs. Current members of BSARD are from as close as Piqua and Troy to as far away as Hamilton and Warren counties, and even Sunman, Ind. Canine handler Keitha Meyer stands with Zeeke, a German shepNapier said while Gloria Napier runs 11 week-old Pearl, a Labrador retriever, through herd, prior to a trailing demonstration at Clear Creek Farm on Aug. BSARD generally works a “cadaver” demonstration on Aug. 24 in Sidney.

24 in Sidney. with law enforcement agencies in the southwestern corner of Ohio, the group is willing to go wherever they are needed to help find or recover missing persons. She said BSARD often provides mutual aid with other teams in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and West Virginia.

The BSARD team is a member of two state organizations, the Ohio Federation of K9 Search Teams and the Ohio Search and Rescue Association, some members also are affiliated with others. The Troy Foundation has provided grant money to the Ohio Federation in support of training/evaluation workshops, of which members of the Buckeye Search and Rescue have benefitted, Napier said.

Handlers follow the guidelines of the International Police Work Dog Association, and have dogs that specialize in the following disciplines: n Area/wilderness search for live persons n Tracking/trailing n Cadavar/HRD — human remains detection on land A team from Buckeye Search and Rescue Dogs conduct a skin cell demonstration Aug. 24 at Clear Creek Farm in Sidney.

a bandanna and dug out several 16-ounce bottles of water, thankful I’d had the foresight to include them in my daypack. I drank two straightaway — chug-a-lug!

Refrigerator-cold when I’d stuffed them into the bag, the water was now barely cool — not that it mattered. When you’re desperately thirsty, the fundamental notion that water is an absolute, irreplaceable criteria for life is easily understood. I swear I could feel myself rehydrating a bit more with every sip.

Eventually I got around to the reason for my mission — pawpaw hunting.

Pawpaws are the largest wild fruit found in North America — the only northernoccurring species of an otherwise tropical genus. Their taste, when ripe, has been described as part banana, part mango, with a hint of pineapple. A poor description, to my mind; papwpaws taste like pawpaws. The fruits turn from green to yellow and then brown as they ripen. Their flesh is creamy, custard-like.

Unique and delicious.

Alas, I soon realized it was

not a good season for my favorite wild fruit. At least not here. Too little rain, perhaps — though patches vary and the obvious dryness and overall lack of fruits on my hillside trees might not prove to be the case in bottomland pawpaw patches.

By shaking the smaller trees, I did manage to gather nine large pawpaws. Merely a taste instead of the hoped-for motherlode. A lot of the papwpaw trees in this patch are old and quite large — upwards of 40-feet tall with trunks more than a foot in diameter. Not trees you can shake. And the majority of fruits still hung in pale-green unripe clusters — though in nothing approaching their typical abundance.

Some years I’ve gathered bushels of pawpaws from this remote patch.

When it came time to head back to the truck, I couldn’t face the thoughts of again plowing through the weedfield. Instead, I decided on a more roundabout but less arduous route — descending the back side of the hill, then following a small creek back to where it crosses under

the road a quarter-mile from where I’d parked. While too big to be seasonal, I reasoned the little stream would likely have only a few easily-avoided pools remaining, and ought to otherwise offer a handy thoroughfare. Far less brushbucking. Plus the added bonus of being mostly in shade.

For once my hopefulness panned out. The brook’s corridor was wide, mostly dry, and shady — cooler by far than the middle of the weedfield.

No coughing and gasping as lungs filled with dust and pollen; no frantic arachnophobic slapping as sticky webs draped over my sweaty face and body.

I even found a wild apple tree, bedecked with fruit, growing near the streambank.

The apples were small and gnarly, but sweet enough. I filled my pack. Sliced and cored, sautéed in bacon drippings with a few tablespoons of brown sugar and a sprinkling of cinnamon, they’d make a tasty addition to the grilled pork chops and salad I’d planned for supper.

Generous September seldom fails to serve up a worthwhile surprise.

Look out: A fall harvest of new broadcast TV shows NEW YORK (AP) — There’s something antiquated about the custom long known as the Fall TV Season.

It was born of a bygone era (and still harkens back to it) when fall signaled all things important in America: the much-anticipated return to school, the resumption of football and the grand unveiling of next year’s car models.

It was an era of the Big Three.

And not just General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, but also ABC, CBS and NBC, which each autumn launched their new shows with the stated intention of airing these dramas and comedies through much of the season to come.

This was an orderly, narrowly consigned TV world. So the Fall Season represented for viewers most of what they could expect to see in prime time for months ahead, at least until the “summer replacement” shows arrived the following June.

“Midseason” (a term even Fox boss Kevin Reilly said recently he’d love to ban) wasn’t part of the lingo back then.

Nor, of course, were terms like “cable networks,” HBO, Hulu or Netflix.

A half-century later, the Fall Season persists — a festival of premieres by not three, but the five self-designated broadcast “majors” (which somehow includes the little-watched CW), with, some years, no discernible dividing line between the fall crop and the winter harvest.

And no acknowledgment that outside this magic garden, bumper crops of other network shows are always blooming, stealing viewers (and a large share of Emmy love).

With all those caveats in mind, then, make way for the Fall Season.

DON’T I KNOW YOU? Many of more than two dozen new series may already be familiar, at least by name, to viewers, since the networks have been flogging them all summer.

They are familiar to TV critics, too, who got early copies of many of the new shows as long ago as June (with the proviso from the networks that some of these episodes were “nonreviewable,” since they were subject to

AP Photo

From left, actors Marcia Gay Harden, Bradley Whitford, Malin Akerman, Bailee Madison, Natalie Morales, Albert Tsai, Michaela Watkins, and Ryan Scott Lee arrive at the PaleyFest Previews: Fall TV show “Trophy” at The Paley Center for Media on Tuesday in Beverly Hills, Calif.

be altered in small or large ways before their premiere date — or even re-shot completely).

At some point before each show’s premiere date, a version designated “reviewable” will be furnished to critics.

This doesn’t necessarily help. For a critic to make a sweeping assessment of any TV series’ potential on the basis of a lone episode, or even two or three, is as reasonable as writing a tell-all biography of someone after meeting at a speed-dating event.

So there’s a possibility that CBS’ “The Crazy Ones” will ultimately reveal itself to be hilarious, and not one of the lamest new comedies on the schedule (as an initial viewing might suggest). A comedy set at an advertising agency, it brings back Robin Williams to TV sitcoms after “Mork & Mindy” 35 years ago (which TV’s most-soughtafter viewers, as well as many presentday network execs, aren’t old enough to remember).

“The Crazy Ones” isn’t really a comedy. It’s a mystery: Who thought it, and bringing back Williams as its star, was a good idea?

NBC (whose motto could be borrowed

from a cable network hit, “The Walking Dead”) has brought back another sitcom veteran with what seems like happier results: Michael J. Fox in a self-named comedy. Addressing the real-life health problems (and triumphs) of this breakout star of “Family Ties” in the 1980s, “The Michael J. Fox Show” strikes a fresh, funny tone amid the flood of new comedies.

NBC has further relied on its oncestellar past by reviving the successful cop show “Ironside,” this time with Blair Underwood, not Raymond Burr, as the intrepid detective in the wheelchair.

FANTASTIC? Fantasy is fueling many new shows.

NBC’s “Dracula” stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers in a reimagining of the vampire as a proto-environmentalist. In his guise as a 19th-Century American industrialist, Dracula wants to develop cheap, alternative energy in defiance of his enemy, Big Oil. There’s also Fox’s set-in-modern-day “Sleepy Hollow” (complete with a headless horseman), ABC’s very cool, comicdriven “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” and ABC’s storybook spinoff, “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland,” which

explores the psyche of tumbled-downthe-rabbit-hole Alice, complete with CGI rabbit voiced by John Lithgow.

CW’s “The Originals” is a spinoff of “The Vampire Diaries,” while the same network’s “The Tomorrow People” is a sci-fi series about a genetically advanced race that also happens to be young and sexy, and the paramilitary group of scientists who see this band as a threat to the status quo. And Fox’s “Almost Human” is a police drama set 35 years in the future, when human officers work alongside humanlike androids.

From HBO’s “Game of Thrones” to PBS’ “Downton Abbey,” historical costume drama is big on TV. Youth-skewing CW is jumping on that trend with “Reign,” which focuses on Mary Stuart, who, better known as Mary, Queen of Scots, had been queen of Scotland since she was six days old, but, as the series begins, is a verrrry attractive teen (with babalicious ladies-in-waiting).

GETTING REAL Another costume drama, of a sort: ABC’s very funny comedy “The Goldbergs,” which revisits the childhood of creator Adam Goldberg in the distant, “simpler” time of the 1980s.

Rare on the lineup is a straightahead, humanist comedy-drama. This fall there’s only one: ABC’s “Lucky 7,” a potentially charming and engaging series about a group of New Yorkers who share a winning lottery ticket, and the effects of that windfall on their lives.

ABC’s promisingly titled “Betrayal” is a soap that involves a murder, a marital affair, and a powerful family at war with itself.

CBS’ “Hostages” puts Toni Collette in the middle of a political conspiracy: She plays a surgeon ordered to assassinate her patient, the ailing President of the United States, to save her family held captive.

Possibly the season’s most surefire hit is NBC’s “The Blacklist,” which stars James Spader as one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives who surrenders to the FBI with a mysterious offer: to help them catch the terrorists he used to enable.

Dogs n Continued from page B1

K-9 Scout, a German shepherd dog and member of the Buckeye Search and Recsue Dogs team, does a scent specific trail. The dog’s handler, Ed Noel, follows behind. The flanker is behind and helps watch the dog, keep an eye out for safety issues, navigates and keeps communication with base.

n Cadavar/HRD — human remains detection in water n Article search and identification — tracking human scent “We are taking the dogs’ natural ability to use its nose to train it to find what we want it to,” Napier said.

She said some dogs specialize and are certified in one or multiple disciplines, but only one dog in the group, Eika, a German shepherd, is certified in all the disciplines.

Napier said the dogs and their handlers have been successful over the years in recovering both living and deceased victims, in the area and beyond.

“We have some cases that are extremely sad, and some that are very uplifting,” Napier said.

A five-year member of the organization, Liz Naber, 24, said her career as a registered nurse and her membership with BSARD fulfills her desire to help others and work with canines. Napier and her certified dog, Payton, do cadaver detection, which brings a mixture of emotion when a deceased person is found.

“You are so excited because everything you have worked so hard with your dog to do, he’s done,” Naber, of Loveland, said. “But, at the same time, your heart is ripped out for the families.”

Naber also has a Labrador puppy, Dalton, in training.

Napier said while many people might think doing search and rescue with their dog sounds interesting, she warns that a lot of time and expense go into being a member of the organization. She said it is not uncommon to drive 1 1/2-2 hours to get to a training — or drive four hours to get to a search they have been called to help with. She said equipment and animal care also are expensive.

“It takes time, it’s expensive, but it’s worth it. It takes an extremely high level of commitment and dedication,” she said. “It doesn’t have to be the most important thing in your life, but it has to be one of the top three.”

During training, Napier said handlers offer only positive reinforcement for dogs, and each dog has a special reward or toy they receive only during training.

“It’s their paycheck,” she said.

BSARD trains as a team twice every month in all weather conditions and on as many varieties of terrain as they can in the working area. This includes rural forest and fields, hills and valleys, streams, lakes, urban, suburban and collapsed structure settings. She said the organization also often does

cross-training with other dog search and rescue teams.

A typical training session may have a simulation scenario that is previously set up and worked as if it were an active deployment. In addition to the simulation, dogs and handlers work specific exercises designed to enhance and broaden their experience. Training sessions end with a self-critique debriefing and feed-forward meeting. Many sessions are preceded or followed by supplemental training in first aid (for people and dogs), compass and map reading, GPS usage, search protocols, first aid for dogs and wilderness survival. Guest speakers and groups are sometimes brought in.

In addition to the regular team training, individual team members and their canine partners train on their own as frequently as they can.

Team members also attend regional and national seminars on a variety of topics focused on expanding our knowledge of search and rescue.

In the end, Napier said the Buckeye Search and Rescue Dogs team is a group of people — and dogs — devoted to helping save lives — and recover others — with their services.

“Every one of the dogs is a success story,” Napier said.

Sociologist goes ‘rogue’ in New York City (AP) — “Floating City: A Rogue Sociologist Lost and Found in New York’s Underground Economy” (The Penguin Press), by Sudhir Venkatesh A crack dealer. A madam. A porn store clerk. Those are just some of the characters that sociologist Sudhir Venkatesh introduces in his latest book, “Floating City.”

Studying society’s fringes isn’t new for Venkatesh. As a doctorate student at the University of Chicago, he studied a city gang, and his research got a boost from its inclusion in the 2005 uber-best-seller “Freakonomics.”

Venkatesh followed up with his

own book, “Gang Leader for a Day: A Rogue Sociologist Takes to the Streets.”

In “Floating City,” Venkatesh has moved from Chicago to New York, where he’s now a sociology professor at Columbia University.

But New York City is no Chicago, Venkatesh learns. The distinctions between race and class blur in this city.

He promises to show readers connections between the worlds of the elite and the poor in the city’s underground economy. There is some of that, but less than readers might imagine.

And the narrative thread can feel a little forced.

Still, for the price of the book, what readers get is an invitation. We get to hang out with Venkatesh as he travels and meets with sex workers and socialites, immigrants and madams, johns and drug dealers.

And we get access to those experiences without sideways looks or the risk of getting a rap sheet.

Readers are there as a crack dealer from Harlem circulates at an art party as part of an attempt to break into the more upscale cocaine market, one with wealthy white clients. We observe as a group of prostitutes rents an apartment to attract a better clientele than they were getting when working in cars and motels. And we sit alongside Venkatesh as he shares drinks with businessmen who describe why they frequent prostitutes.

At the same time, it seems like Venkatesh is writing “Floating City” because he owes a debt. He told people their stories would be in a book and now has to pay up. That’s OK. It just doesn’t seem like Venkatesh is enjoying the process.

There’s one more thing that’s irritating: Early on, Venkatesh tells readers that some sociologists at his Ivy-League institution look down on writing a book for the masses. And he describes being caught between wanting to be taken seriously as an academic and telling stories and reaching a larger audience.

But that internal torture sounds hollow, and it seems pretty clear that Venkatesh, well-known already, likes the spotlight of mass appeal. So why not just drop the pretense and write?

(AP) — “The Woman Who Lost Her Soul” (Atlantic Monthly Press),

by Bob Shacochis It’s hard to talk about “The Woman Who Lost Her Soul” without giving away too much of its intrigue. The novel starts off in U.S.-occupied Haiti, but it’s not really just about Haiti. It’s about the toll paid by individuals when humanitarian interventions peter out or fail, and that makes the novel’s drama all the more heartbreaking and riveting.

The title of Bob Shacochis’ first book in 10 years initially refers to a woman calling herself a photojournalist, making contacts in Haiti in the mid-1990s when the U.S. military occupied the Caribbean country. It’s a turbulent time period that Shacochis knows well — he wrote about his experiences embedded with U.S. Special Forces in Haiti in 1994 in the nonfiction work “The Immaculate Invasion.”

Then Shacochis expands the story over five decades and three continents. He manages to cover the Cold War, the Balkans, the rise of Islamist extremism and Haiti’s seemingly endless humanitarian crisis while exploring the photojournalist’s disturbing family history.

It’s a sweeping, expansive book grounded by details such as epic potholes in Haiti’s roads and crowded ferry decks in Turkey. Without veering into conspiracy theories or melodrama, Shacochis builds for both his readers and his characters a sense that something important is being overlooked amid competing agendas.

“The Woman Who Lost Her Soul” is an elegant reminder that connections are made one by one — but not everyone is playing the same game.

‘Fantasticks’ reaches mind-boggling milestone NEW YORK (AP) — The opening night of the musical “The Fantasticks” wasn’t so fantastic.

The reviews were decidedly mixed, with the New York Herald Tribune critic only liking Act 2. The New York Times grudgingly enjoyed just Act 1 and its critic, Brooks Atkinson, sniffed that the show was “the sort of thing that loses magic the longer it endures.”

Tom Jones, who wrote the book and lyrics as well as acted in it, was crushed. “What I thought was it was the end of the world,” he says. At the opening-night party, the press agent called in to read the reviews and the mood grew “ghastly.”

Jones spent the rest of the night drinking too much and wandering Central Park in despair and throwing up. “One thing I learned that night was never, ever eat Mexican food at an opening-night party,” he recalls.

The date was May 3, 1960.

This Sunday, that little show — with a cast of eight, two musicians, a cardboard moon and guy who sprinkles confetti and makes us believe it’s snow — will celebrate a staggering milestone: 20,000 performances, a number so silly that it looks like a typo.

The magic has clearly endured.

“My mind doesn’t grasp it, in

a way,” says Jones. “It’s like life itself — you get used to it and you don’t notice how extraordinary it is. I’m grateful for it and I’m astonished by it.”

‘LOVE AFFAIR’ The musical, based on an obscure play by Edmond Rostand, doesn’t necessarily have the makings of a hit. The set is just a platform with poles, a curtain and a wooden box. No explosions, no chandeliers.

The tale, a mock version of “Romeo and Juliet,” concerns a young girl and boy, secretly brought together by their fathers and an assortment of odd characters, including a rakish narrator, an old actor, an Indian named Mortimer and a mute. It’s as much about a love affair as it is a nod to the magic of theater itself.

Composer Harvey Schmidt’s melodies are hypnotic, from “Try to Remember” to “Soon It’s Gonna Rain” to the haunting “They Were You.” Jones’ lyrics are equally accomplished.

“Without a hurt, the heart is hollow” sums up the show’s theme.

Despite the initial mixed critical reviews, the show was saved by the pugnacious producer Lore Noto, who coaxed celebrities into coming and built audiences through strong word of mouth.

Scores of actors have appeared in the show, from the opening

cast that included Jerry Orbach and Rita Gardner, to stars such as Ricardo Montalban and Kristin Chenoweth to current “Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella” star Santino Fontana.

It was Oscar winner F. Murray Abraham’s first show in New York, but that isn’t so strange.

“For a lot of people, it’s their first New York show,” says Jones, laughing. “We get them for their first show because we can’t afford them usually after that.”

In 1982, it was aspiring actor Kim Moore’s first show, too, after arriving in New York from Wheaton, Minn. He had done the musical in high school and college and hoped he might land the part of The Mute in the Big Apple. He did — on his second audition. And even then he wasn’t the top candidate.

“I was told I got cast because the guy they really wanted to play The Mute was too goodlooking and he would have stolen focus,” Moore says, smiling. “I have no problem with that. I don’t need to be your first choice.

As long as I’m your last choice.”

Over the next decades, Moore would play The Mute, The Boy and The Narrator. He even fell for and married an actress who played The Girl. “My whole love affair with ‘The Fantasticks’ also involves my own love affair,” he

says.

For nearly 42 years the show chugged along at the 153-seat Sullivan Street Playhouse in Greenwich Village, finally closing in 2002 after 17,162 performances — a victim both of a destroyed downtown after 9/11 and a new post-terrorism, edgy mood.

“It didn’t seem strange to me that it would close after 42 years.

In some ways, I was grateful,” says Jones. “We had neglected the show. We had let it run down.”

But the magic couldn’t stop.

‘PASS ON’ In 2006, “The Fantasticks” found a new home in The Snapple Theater Center, an off-Broadway complex in the heart of Times Square. Producers quickly asked Moore if he would be its stage manager.

After thousands of performances — on and off over the decades — Moore was a natural choice, knowing all the tricks and behind-the-scenes details.

So “The Fantasticks,” which had given Moore a steady paycheck and a wife was now transitioning him to a career after acting.

It’s a show that’s in his DNA now. “I can’t escape it. I finally just sort of gave up after a while,” he says with a smile. “This is my show, what can I say?”

For his part, Jones jumped at

the chance to redeem his handling of “The Fantasticks” and even did some rewriting. “I think I’ve finally finished with ‘The Fantasticks,’” he says. “It’s finally the way I want it to be.”

It long ago won the title of world’s longest-running musical.

“The Phantom of the Opera,” by comparison, is Broadway’s longest-running show with just 10,700 shows, a mere adolescent. (The only rival to “The Fantasticks” is the play “The Mousetrap” in London, which is the longest- running show in the world, having passed 25,000 performances.)

Jones, 85, who teamed up with Schmidt on the shows “I Do! I Do!” and “110 in the Shade” and is currently working on a musical based on “The Tempest,” finds himself one of only three original cast members still alive.

Reaching 20,000 performances has made him philosophical about a little musical he put on when Dwight D. Eisenhower was still president. He fully believes it will be on when President Barack Obama’s children have kids of their own.

“So many people have come, and this thing stays the same — the platform, the wooden box, the cardboard moon,” he says.

“We just come and do our little thing and then we pass on.”

This undated publicity photo provided by Country Living shows this boys room featured in Country Living magazine that is shared by a five-year-old and a two-year-old; bright-green window panels amp up the energy in the room without feeling too childish. Grown up light fixtures, gray walls with pops of bright colors, empty frames for pin-ups all make this children’s space feel sophisticated.

It’s best not to make the theme of a child’s room too narrow, says Jami Supsic, an editor at Country Living magazine.

“A stumbling block for many when they design their child’s rooms is that they make it all about the time period the child’s in at that moment. This leaves no room for growth or change,” she says. “Use accessories and toys to identify the age of your child, but leave walls, window treatments and furnishings mature.”

If your daughter loves princesses, don’t buy everything from bedding to wallpaper — go with an overall look that suggests the theme. Supsic says ruffles, damask

and crystals do the job.

“They say girly girl, without saying baby girl,” she says.

French chateau-inspired furnishings — chandeliers, mirrors, rugs and furniture — set the stage.

You can add tiara-emblazoned pillows, regal doll houses, and other toys and accessories. Editing over time will honor an early obsession, yet reflect her developing maturity.

30-year mortgage steady at 4.57 percent WASHINGTON (AP) — Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages held steady this week, hovering near two-year highs.

But rates could change

quickly next week when the Federal Reserve addresses its bond purchase program.

Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said

Thursday that the average rate on the 30-year loan was unchanged from last week at 4.57 percent, just below the two-year high of 4.58 percent reached Aug. 22.

The average on the 15-year fixed mortgage held at 3.59 percent. The two-year high of 3.60 percent was hit on Aug. 22.

Long-term mortgage rates have risen more than a full percentage point since May, when Chairman Ben Bernanke first signaled that the Fed could reduce its bond purchases this year. The purchases have been intended to keep longterm loan rates extremely low.

Most analysts expect the Fed to decide at its meeting next week to scale back its bond purchases.

Even with the recent gain, mortgage rates remain low by historical standards. But higher rates have spurred some homebuyers to close deals quickly and could slow the market’s momentum if they continue to rise.

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.

The 10-year note’s rate was 2.92 percent on Wednesday, down from 2.97 percent Tuesday but up from 2.89 percent a week earlier.

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 rose to 0.8 point from 0.7 point.

The fee for a 15-year loan was steady at 0.7 point.

The average rate on a one-year adjustable-rate mortgage fell to 2.67 percent from 2.71 percent.

The fee declined to 0.4 point from 0.5 point.

The average rate on a five-year adjustable mortgage dipped to 3.22 percent from 3.28 percent.

The fee was unchanged at 0.5 point.

“Custom Built Quality At An Affordable Price.”

Like a lot of modern decor, children’s rooms are enjoying a rethinking.

No longer restrained by oldschool ideals for juvenile decor, these spaces now feature elements that transcend genres and traditional gender themes. Decorators and retailers offer options that fling the design doors wide open — and how much fun is that for a child?

So let’s check out what’s cool, cozy and clever for kid’s rooms.

New York designer Amanda Nisbet uses elements like pop art, ’70s modern furniture, and crisp, energetic hues like bright yellow, soda orange and magenta to make bedrooms lively, friendly and fun. (www.amandanisbetdesign.com ) Nancy Twomey of Alexandria, Va., blends neutral hues with dashes of gentle color — soft coral, sea blue, fresh pea green — and adds whimsical notes such as mirrored rabbit decals, papier mache safari animal wall art and ceramic tree stump tables to create charming, sophisticated rooms that children could enjoy from crib to college. (www.finniansmoon.com ) In modern families, some kids divide their sleeping time between a couple of households, often in rooms that serve another function when the child isn’t there.

Providing such spaces requires a little extra thought and ingenuity, says Ikea North America’s U.S. design leader, Josee Berlin. The aim is to help children feel at ease in their sleeping area.

“A child’s own space can be as simple as a soft, comfortable, cozy bed. Smart options like the oldfashioned, tried and true bunk bed can really transform a space for many children,” Berlin says.

Ikea’s Kritter, Gulliver and Hemnes models would serve well as daybeds. (www.ikea.com ) A curtained rod can divide rooms like offices or large bedrooms into smaller spaces for young visitors.

Salon walls: decor that tells a story Kim Cook

Associated Press

Those beautiful summer vacation photos are in a cardboard box. Somewhere.

The souvenirs you picked up on that overseas trip years ago are jumbled in a drawer.

Your collection of (fill in the blank) is in the kitchen cupboard.

Why not showcase these personal treasures and create great art at the same time?

One clever way to do it is to mount shelves or frames on a wall and fill them with whatever pleases you. Decorators call it a salon wall, and it has origins in 17th century Paris, when the Royal Academy held exhibitions, or “salons,” to showcase student work. Their art would be mounted in a closely knit configuration.

A visually balanced arrangement is what you’re after, says New York interior designer Elaine Griffin.

“It’s the eclecticism — photos with found objects, for example — that makes it beautiful and stylish,” she says.

“Every element should speak to you or tell you a story.”

To create a salon wall, plan carefully. Lay out the arrangement on the floor first, and then transfer it from the floor to the wall, piece by piece.

“Start at the center of the composition and work your way outward, a little bit in each direction, left, right, up, down,” Griffin says.

Spacing doesn’t need to be

AP photos

In this undated publicity photo provided by CollageWall Inc., Jason Rodman installs a collagewall display that he designed and photographed in a a bedroom in San Francisco. Previsualize your wall online, then order the paper grid template, push pegs and photos from Collagewall.com. Family, vacation and personal interest pictures are some of the themes you can use to create a photographic salon wall.

the same around all objects, but it can look better when it’s equal around an individual element. Use a geometric shape — square, circle, triangle or diamond — as a loose basis for your arrangement.

Create an axis in the center of the wall, a focal point from which all the elements radiate, Griffin advises. Laying the idea out on a template — a piece of art paper on which you draw the shapes — will

help consolidate the finished look.

“It’s nice if you have the entire collection for a wall ready to hang at once, but you don’t have to — you can install as you collect,” Griffin says.

David Kassel, a collage artist in New York City, creates salon walls for designers like Bunny Williams, Jamie Drake and Jeffrey Bilhuber. Through his company, ILevel, he’ll put up anything a client gives him,

but also offers his own collections: exotic turtle shells, vintage medicine bottles, colorful plates, even a framed set of 1940s Rorschach ink blots.

“For small objects you can use shadow boxes. Sconces are a wonderful way to display bottles, vases, rocks or any three dimensional objects. You can choose from simple contemporary wall wedges or more traditional options like carved, gold-leaf sconces,” Kassel says.

This undated publicity photo provided by CollageWall Inc. shows a collagewall display designed and photographed

by Jason Rodman in a bedroom in San Francisco.

If you want to turn your wall into a photo gallery, hanging the pictures without frames creates a clean look that lets the pictures pop, says Jeff Southard, a spokesman for Collagewall.com, which helps clients create photo walls.

Avoid hanging several versions of the same picture, he says; instead, use a variety of closeups, action shots, etc.

“Given the choice between a perfect bland photo and a flawed, energetic one, go for the lively one,” Southard says.

“Don’t be afraid to exhibit your passion. Cars, kids, architecture — even good food.

When guests come over, you can talk about something you love.”

San Francisco photographer Jason Rodman, for example, mounted a series of black-andwhite images of the city on his wall. In Seattle, Sara Shrader’s pride in her two baseball-loving sons led her to take photos of their various team caps over the years. She created a collage wall that included pictures of the boys in action.

A company like Picturewall. com provides templates for rectangular and stairway displays, and sends a kit that includes wood frames and acid-free mats. You just drop in your photos.

Kassel says such displays should continue to evolve.

“Families grow, important events continue to happen, collections change over time,” he says. “A great salon wall is never finished.”

ing both partners needs and wants (often they were polar opposites) and then putting together a plan that would bring them together in a design that would satisfy both partners in the home. Sometimes, at the beginning of the show, I would think to myself: “there is no way this is going to come together.” In real estate, as agents, we are often faced with the same challenges. One partner

may consider 10 acres, a pond, an outbuilding and the ability to be totally self-sustaining a priority.

The other may consider a large home on a small lot with shopping and Starbucks around the corner a must-have. This can bring about quite the challenge for the realtors.

The center houses the largest collection of British TIPP Street Thursday, Friday, and art outside the United Kingdom. It’s one of a number of free things to see and do in Connecticut.

From art to parks, Conn. small but mighty HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut is a small state that can be crossed in a matter of hours, depending on traffic, offering relatively easy access for travelers looking to visit various corners of the state. One compact area packed with attractions is the southeastern region, which includes Long Island Sound and a popular shoreline state park, Yale University’s hometown of New Haven, sites related to New England’s maritime and military industry, and the University of Connecticut in the eastern part of the state. Here are five free things to do and see there.

SUBMARINE FORCE MUSEUM The Submarine Force Museum on the Thames River in Groton is home to the Nautilus, the first nuclear-powered vessel and first ship to reach the North Pole. It’s the only submarine museum operated by the U.S. Navy and is the primary repository of artifacts, documents and photographs related to the history of submarines in the military. The museum traces the development of submarines, from the so-called Turtle, the first American submarine developed for use in the Revolutionary War, to today’s Ohio and Virginia class submarines.

The museum’s collections include tens of thousands of artifacts, documents and photographs. Its reference and research library holds 6,000 volumes.

FORT GRISWOLD BATTLEFIELD STATE PARK Connecticut is a destination for amateur historians. One of the 13 colonies, it played a key role in providing munitions to the fledgling U.S. Army.

A visit to Connecticut’s shoreline can include a stop at the Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park in Groton in southeast Connecticut. British forces, commanded by Benedict Arnold, captured the fort in 1781 and killed 88 of the 165 defenders.

The Ebenezer Avery House that sheltered the wounded after the battle has been restored on the grounds and the Monument House Museum features displays of Groton’s history.

HAMMONASSET BEACH STATE This undated photo provided by the Connecticut Office of Tourism shows a path at Hammonasset Beach State Park in Madison, Conn.

Hammonasset is the stateճ largest shoreline park, with a boardwalk and more than 2 miles of beach.

Parking is free from midSeptember to April 20.

PARK Hammonasset, Connecticut’s largest shoreline park, offers a boardwalk and more than 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) of beach. Parking is free from mid-September to April 20. But even during the season when a parking fee applies, visitors can parking in nearby downtown Madison for free and bike the 2-mile (3.2-kilometer) route east on Route 1 to Hammonasset.

Madison is known for Madison Art Cinemas, a movie theater in downtown that opened in 1912, and R.J. Julia Booksellers, one of the better-known book stores in Connecticut.

YALE CENTER FOR BRITISH ART The Yale Center for British Art houses the largest collection of British art outside the United Kingdom. Admission is free, insisted upon by its benefactor, Paul Mellon, a 1929 Yale graduate.

The museum boasts paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings and a rare books collection, said Scott Wilcox, chief curator of art collections.

The building, which was the final design by architect Louis I. Kahn, is itself an attraction. Its exterior of matte steel and reflective glass is considered a landmark of 20th century museum architecture, Wilcox said. While you’re there, take a stroll around the campus of the famous university with its picturesque buildings, walkways and manicured lawns.

CONNECTICUT STATE MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY The Museum of Natural History and Connecticut Archaeology Center at the University of Connecticut in Storrs boasts the single largest repository of Connecticut Native American, colonial and industrial artifacts.

The materials document more than 11,000 years of the area’s past.

Collections include a large sample of Connecticut Indian stone bowls, reconstructed pottery vessels, groundstone tools, a 12-foot dugout canoe carved from an American chestnut tree, Mayan and other Central American Indian artifacts such as stone tools, woven hammocks and skeletal remains.

ENGAGEMENT

ANNIVERSARY 50th wedding anniversary celebrated

Thompson, Johnston announce engagement

TROY — J. Roger Kearney and Carol Jeanne Morse of Troy were married Saturday, Aug. 31, 1963, in the Worthington (Ohio) Methodist Church. The Rev. Dr. Claude Garrison officiated the ceremony.

The couple made their home in Springfield, Ohio, where Roger was a math and speech teacher at Springfield North High School.

Carol had formerly taught English at Xenia High School.

After a move to West Bend, Wis., where both Roger and Carol were teachers, the couple returned to Springfield in 1970 and then moved to Troy in 1975. At that time, Roger was a materials manager at Hobart Corp., and later became a director of MIS.

Ashley Gay Thompson of Nashville, Tenn., and Peter Dominic Johnston, also of Nashville, Tenn., have announced their engagement and forthcoming marriage.

She is the daughter of Rick and Debbi Thompson of Savannah, Ga., and Duffy Cummings and Anna Thompson of Dallas, Texas.

He is the son of Dick and Mary Johnston of Troy.

Carol was a stay-athome mom.

Both were active in Cub Scouts, CISV, Troy Civic Theatre, Troy High School Music Boosters and the county Democratic Party.

Both attend Troy United Methodist Church.

In 1997, Roger took early retirement from Hobart Corp.

and developed a website design company, Rhombus Technologies/ OntheSquare.Com. For 10 years, he and Carol covered Troy activities and businesses. They developed the first websites for Miami County and the Troy Chamber of Commerce as well as many other local organizations. Now retired, Carol and Roger enjoy their family, genealogy, their dogs, the Victoria Theater and Buckeye football.

The Kearneys have two children, both graduates of Troy High School: Kevin lives in Upper Arlington, Ohio, with his wife, Valarie, and their four children; and Joel and fiancee, Becky, are residents of Etna, Ohio.

A family celebration was held at Rue Dumaine in Centerville.

Voyager 1 has left solar system LOS ANGELES (AP) — NASA’s Voyager I probe has left the solar system, boldly going where no machine has gone before.

Thirty-six years after it rocketed away from Earth, the plutonium-powered spacecraft has escaped the sun’s influence and is

now cruising 11 1/2 billion miles away in interstellar space, or the vast, cold emptiness between the stars, NASA said Thursday.

And just in case it encounters intelligent life out there, it is carrying a 1970s-era phonograph record with multicultural

greetings from Earth, photos and songs, including Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode,� along with Beethoven, Bach, Mozart and Louis Armstrong.

Never before has a manmade object ever left the solar system as it is commonly understood.

REM Ohio is a partner of The Mentor Network, a national network of local human services providers.

“We made it,� said an ecstatic Ed Stone, the mission’s chief scientist, who waited decades for this moment.

NASA celebrated by playing the theme from “Star Trek� at a news conference in Washington.

Voyager 1 actually made its exit more than a year ago, scientists said. But since there’s no “Welcome to Interstellar Space� sign out there, NASA waited for more evidence before concluding that the probe had in fact broken out of the hot plasma bubble surrounding the planets.

Voyager 1, which is about the size of a small car, is drifting in a neverbefore-explored part of the universe littered with the remnants of ancient star explosions.

It will study exotic particles and other phenomena and will radio the data back to Earth, where the Voyager team awaits the starship’s discoveries. It takes about 17 hours for its signal to reach Earth.

While Voyager 1 may have left the solar system as most people understand it, it still has hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years to go before bidding adieu to the last icy bodies that make up our neighborhood.

At the rate it is going, it would take 40,000 years to reach the nearest star, Alpha Centauri.
