Watchdog gets details of Syrian arsenal Technical experts at the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons were reviewing Saturday a further disclosure from Syria about its chemical weapons program. A day earlier, the body that polices the global treaty outlawing chemical weapons said it had received a preliminary submission from Syria. No details have been released of what is in the Syrian declarations, and OPCW spokesman Michael Luhan refused to give any more information about the latest submission. See Page A6

TROY — Waving high above the Troy skyline, eight flags, seven banners and 10 side arm banners welcomed the thousands music lovers from all over the country to Troy’s Stopover for the Gentlemen of the Road music festival. The colorful 25 flags and banners were always out of reach from those trying to take a piece of the music festival home with them — until the city of Troy put them up for bid on eBay last week.

The 25 banners and flags commemorating the Gentlemen of the Road music festival held in Troy on Labor Day weekend went to the online auction block last week. Final bids must be submitted by noon Thursday. According to Patrick Titterington, director of public safety and services, all the flags and banners from the concert are up for grabs on eBay. “It’s the first time we’ve used eBay,” Titterington said. “We thought we’d reach a wider audience through eBay.” Titterington said he

had a lot of interest in the concert memorabilia from visitors who came from around the country. Most were curious about what the city was going to do with all the flags and banners and many expressed interest in the banners that hung around the concert venue and around town. Titterington said many people left phone numbers and email addresses for the city to notify them how to get a banner or flag after the concert was over on Labor Day weekend.

Valero Miami Jacobs Career College donates to food pantry robbed twice in one week Andrew Wilson For the Troy Daily News

Pope’s blunt remarks pose challenge for bishops In recent years, many American bishops have drawn a harder line with parishioners on what could be considered truly Roman Catholic, adopting a more aggressive style of correction and telling abortion rights supporters to stay away from the sacrament of Communion. Liberal-minded Catholics derided the approach as tone-deaf. Church leaders said they had no choice given what was happening around them: growing secularism, increasing acceptance of gay marriage, and a broader culture they considered more and more hostile to Christianity. They felt they were following the lead of the pontiffs who elevated them. But in blunt terms, in an interview published Thursday in 16 Jesuit journals worldwide, the new pope, Francis called the church’s focus on abortion, marriage and contraception narrow and said it was driving people away. Now, the U.S. bishops face a challenge to rethink a strategy many considered essential for preserving the faith. See Page A6

Looking to put business management principals to use in a setting outside the classroom, Miami Jacobs Career College students collected more than 5,000 items for New Path’s Choice Food Pantry. Over the course of the last six weeks, the Troy campus students collected 5,236 cans and boxed food. They delivered the goods at the pantry, located at the old Ginghamsburg Chrurch on S. County Road 25-A, on Thursday. The project was initiated by Sandra Streitenberger, instructor of business management at Miami Jacobs College. Streitenberger wanted to incorporate a project to practice the business management principals that would be taught in her class. Streitenberger proposed a food drive campaign, and New Path jumped on board. The collcetions began at the end of July. Students were given six weeks to plan, organize, implement, control and analyze the project. During her lecture in class each week, Streitenberger would relate the principals in her lecture to the food drive.

For the second time in less than a week, an armed robbery at the Valero gas station on West Market Street in Troy, according to the Troy Police Department. Around 5:30 a.m. Saturday, a lone gunman came into the store wearing a mask and demanded money. The suspect fled from the store on foot with an undetermined amount of cash, according to Troy Police reports. The Troy Police Department said the only description it had of the alleged robber was that he was wearing a mask. The Valero also was robbed on Thursday. The suspect in that robbery was described as a white male approximately 5-foot-10. He was wearing a plaid long sleeve shirt, black sweatpants with a white stripe down the side and black shoes. Troy detectives say there is a possibility the robber this morning could be the same suspect. Anyone with any information on the incident is asked to contact Troy of 5, 236 canned foods, non perishable foods and hygiene items to New Path Inc., Thursday Police Department at • See GIFT on page A2 after collecting over a period of five weeks.

39 dead in Kenya mall attack; hostages still held NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Terrified shoppers huddled in back hallways and prayed they would not be found by the Islamic extremist gunmen lobbing grenades and firing assault rifles inside Nairobi’s top mall Saturday. When the way appeared clear, crying mothers clutching small children and blood-splattered men sprinted out of the four-story mall. At least 39 people were killed and more than 150 wounded in the assault, Kenya’s president announced on national

TV, while disclosing that his close family members were among the dead. Foreigners were among the casualties. France’s president said that two French women were killed. American citizens were reported injured but not killed in the attack, the State Department said Saturday, but did not release further details. Early Sunday morning, 12 hours after the attack began, gunmen remained holed up inside the mall with an unknown number of hostages. President Uhuru Kenyatta called the

security operation under way “delicate” and said a top priority was to safeguard hostages. As the attack began shortly after noon Saturday, the al-Qaidalinked gunmen asked the victims they had cornered if they were Muslim: Those who answered yes were free to go, several witnesses said. The nonMuslims were not. Somalia’s Islamic extremist group al-Shabab claimed responsibility and said the attack was retribution for Kenyan forces’ 2011 push

into Somalia. The rebels threatened more attacks. Al-Shabab said on its Twitter feed that Kenyan security officials were trying to open negotiations. “There will be no negotiations whatsoever,” alShabab tweeted. As night fell in Kenya’s capital, two contingents of army special forces troops moved inside the mall. Police and military surrounded the huge shopping complex as helicopters buzzed overhead. An Associated Press reporter said he saw a wounded Kenyan soldier put into

an ambulance at nightfall, an indication, perhaps, of a continuing shoot-out inside. Witnesses said at least five gunmen — including at least one woman — first attacked an outdoor cafe at Nairobi’s Westgate Mall, a shiny, new shopping center that includes Nike, Adidas and Bose stores. The mall’s ownership is Israeli, and security experts have long said the structure made an attractive terrorist target. • See KENYA on page A2

TItterington said JAM Productions paid for all the flags and banners except for the side arm banners. “The banners and flags are unique to Troy and JAM didn’t want them back,” he said. Titterington said all the proceeds from the eBay auction of the flags and banners will be put in the city’s general fund. A few items have already generated up to $50 per flag or banner on eBay as of press time. To place your bid on a Troy GOTR banner or flag, visit www.eBay.com and search for “City of Troy Auctions.” myingst@civitasmedia.com

Students also set up a competition to see who could collect the most items, with the winner getting a pizza party at the end of the project. Students in the business management program as well as a few criminal justice majors participated. “It was awesome,” said Streitenberger about seeing her students donate over 5,000 items. “The first week we delivered over 1,400 food items. We planned to make one delivery, but we fast filled up all the space we had to store the items, so we decided to make a delivery. And when we walked in, Ms. (Sherry) Loschi

said, ‘you’ve surpassed our campaign that we had in one month in the church, this is awesome.’” Streitenberger continued, “And then we discussed it, although it would’ve been neat to have all this food with us, it’s neater in that, for five weeks we delivered about the same amount of food and we’ve actually helped 500 families remain fed for five weeks. The first week, she showed us her pantry, and it was pretty well empty. And we filled it.” New Path, which received 501 c(3) status as a non-profit organization in 2001, is the umbrella

agency for outreach ministries at Ginghamsburg United Methodist Church in Tipp City. The organization provides community development services in both Miami and Montgomery Counties. The food pantry, which is located at the old Ginghamburg Church on S. County Road 25A in Tipp City, “provides a variety of canned and packaged nonperishable items as well as bread, produce, frozen meats, vegetables and assorted meals and desserts” according to its website. According to Loschi, the New Paths Programs Coordinator, the

food pantry feeds about 500 families per month and is stocked from monthly food drives at Ginghamburg Church, USDA commodities and local stores and businesses that donate a wide variety of goods. “I wanted it to look like a grocery store,” said Loschi. “I didn’t want people to feel like they were coming for charity. I wanted them to be empowered to be able to choose their own foods, but I also wanted to teach nutrition, so this was just like a perfect match.” For more information on the New Path, Inc., visit their website at newpathoutreach.org.

The attack began shortly after noon with bursts of gunfire and grenades. Shoppers — expatriates and affluent Kenyans — fled in any direction that might be safe: into back corners of stores, back service hallways and bank vaults. Over the next several hours, pockets of people

trickled out of the mall as undercover police moved in. Some of the wounded were trundled out in shopping carts. “We started by hearing gunshots downstairs and outside. Later we heard them come inside. We took cover. Then we saw two gunmen wearing black turbans. I saw them shoot,” said Patrick Kuria, an employee at Artcaffe, the restaurant with shady outdoor seating. Frank Mugungu, an off-duty army sergeant major, said he saw four male attackers and one female attacker. “One was Somali,” he said, adding that the others were black, suggesting that they could have been Kenyan or another nationality. Al-Shabab, on its Twitter feed, said that it has many times warned Kenya’s government that failure to remove its forces from Somalia “would have

Nairobi’s mortuary superintendent, Sammy Nyongesa Jacob, said Africans, Asians and Caucasians were among the bodies brought to the mortuary. The U.S. State Department condemned “this senseless act of violence that has resulted in death and injury for many innocent men, women, and children.” In a separate statement, a White House spokeswoman said some staff at the U.S. Embassy in Kenya have been “tragically affected” by the attack. No other information was provided. “The perpetrators of this heinous act must be brought to justice, and we have offered our full support to the Kenyan Government to do so,” Caitlin Hayden, a spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council, said in the statement.

severe consequences.” The group claimed that its gunmen had killed 100 people, but its assertions are often exaggerated. “The attack at #WestgateMall is just a very tiny fraction of what Muslims in Somalia experience at the hands of Kenyan invaders,” al-Shabab said. Another tweet said: “For long we have waged war against the Kenyans in our land, now it’s time to shift the battleground and take the war to their land #Westgate.” Al-Shabab’s Twitter account was suspended shortly after its claim of responsibility and threats against Kenya. Twitter’s terms of service forbids making threats. Al-Shabab threatened in late 2011 to unleash a largescale attack in Nairobi. Kenya has seen a regular spate of grenade attacks since then but never such a large terrorist assault.

The U.S. embassy in Nairobi said it was in contact with local authorities and offered assistance. Some British security personnel assisted in the response. The gunmen told hostages that non-Muslims would be targeted, said Elijah Kamau, who was at the mall at the time of the midday attack. “The gunmen told Muslims to stand up and leave. They were safe, and non-Muslims would be targeted,” he said. Jay Patel, who sought cover on an upper floor in the mall when shooting began, said that when he looked out of a window onto the upper parking deck of the mall he saw the gunmen with a group of people. Patel said that as the attackers were talking, some of the people stood up and left and the others were shot. The attack was carried out by terrorists, said police chief Benson Kibue. He did not specify a group. He said it was likely that no more than 10 attackers were involved. Somalia’s president — the leader of a neighboring country familiar with terrorist attacks — said his nation knows “only too well the human costs of violence like this” as he extended prayers to those in Kenya. “These heartless acts against defenseless civilians, including innocent children, are beyond the pale and cannot be tolerated. We stand shoulder to shoulder with Kenya in its time of grief for these lives lost and the many injured,” President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said. The gunmen carried AK-47s and wore vests with hand grenades on them, said Manish Turohit, 18, who hid in a parking garage for two hours. “They just came in and threw a grenade. We were running and they opened fire. They were shouting and firing,” he said after marching out of the mall in a line of 15 people who all held their hands in the air. Dozens of people were wounded. A local hospital was overwhelmed with the number of wounded being brought in hours after the attack and diverted them to a second facility. Officials said Kenyans turned out in droves to donate blood. The United Nations secretary-general’s office said that Ban Ki-moon has spoken with President Uhuru Kenyatta and expressed his concern. British Prime Minister David Cameron also called Kenyatta and offered assistance. Kenyan authorities said they have thwarted other large-scale attacks targeting public spaces. Kenyan police said in September 2012 they disrupted a major terrorist attack in its final stages of planning, arresting two people with explosive devices and a cache of weapons and ammunition. Anti-terror Police Unit boss Boniface Mwaniki said vests found were similar to those used in attacks that killed 76 people in Uganda who gathered to watch the soccer World Cup finals on TV in July 2010. Al-Shabab claimed responsibility for those bombings, saying the attack was in retaliation for Uganda’s participation in the African Union’s peacekeeping mission in Somalia.

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The New Haven (Conn.) Register The Navy Yard mass slaying in D.C. on Sept. 16 has gun-control advocates, Newtown parents and Connecticut senators scurrying for new action. And it has pundits wondering what exactly is wrong in American society that produces so many brutal rampages. Gun rights defenders, meanwhile pointed to failings in a security system that would allow clearance to a man with three arrests and mental health issues. In the end, however, the story boils down once again to “crazed gunman slaughters innocent people.” The gun homicide rate overall is down 49 percent since its 1993 peak, according to a May 2013 Pew Research Center report. But these mass killings seem to be increasing in frequency — six of them since the Sandy Hook slayings and at least 20 during the Obama presidency. Is there something about the digital age — with individuals spending long periods of time on the Internet without family in the room — that stokes anger and alienation? Aaron Alexis, the shooter in the Navy Yard slayings, not only had been exhibiting symptoms of mental illness for a decade but was known to play extremely violent video games all night, acquaintances have said in televised interviews. The New York Times Tuesday quoted an official saying acquaintances knew Alexis was paranoid and delusional. As a Navy reservist, he showed a “pattern of misbehavior” including insubordination and unauthorized absences. And yet, in Virginia, he was able to stroll into a gun store and walk out with 12-gauge shotgun and ammunition, which he unloaded into strangers eating breakfast and officers trying to stop him, killing 12. If this aftermath feels like deja vu, it is. “Rampage violence seems to lead to repeated cycles of anguish, investigation, recrimination and heated debate, with little real progress in prevention,” says a 2012 American Journal of Public Health article by two researchers from the University of Arizona arguing for a new type of research. These shootings are as frustrating as they are perplexing and senseless. After an arrest for shooting out someone’s tires years ago, Alexis said he had some sort of anger-fueled blackout. But anger issues lead to domestic incidents. What leads someone to smuggle in a shotgun to a place and deliberately kill as many strangers as you can, with little or no hope of escape? It begs the question of whether the notoriety of great evil has somehow become desirable. Media moguls, like gun advocates, disavow any blame, even though some of the most violent TV shows right now are the most popular. Showtime’s “Dexter,” AMC’s “Breaking Bad” and FX’s “Sons of Anarchy” not only match the gore of “The Walking Dead” and “Criminal Minds” but they’re all about villains as antiheroes. The shows glorify sociopaths (although Dexter is a vigilante, if that’s any better). In the same issue that reported on Alexis, the Times reviewed the latest version of the video game franchise “Grand Theft Auto.” The reviews starts out by saying, “As video game players have gotten

older, as antiheroes have become routine across the culture, as sex and violence have permeated prestige television, the controversies that once surrounded the Grand Theft Auto games have begun to seem like sepia-toned oddities from another age.” Maybe, to a sophisticated adult. But games like this are played by young teens (and 30-something sociopaths, too, apparently). Easy and alluring mass violence tells us something about technology’s dark side — that high-definition pictures encourage “action.” Pictures over words, video over print, danger over comfort. And the indisputable fact is that no-real life rampage — not Virginia Tech, Aurora or Sandy Hook — would be as lethal without a gun. Connecticut took some action of its own on gun control, but the U.S. Senate rejected expanded background checks for gun purchasers, despite public support. Let’s get that done first. The Bennington (Vt.) Banner It was five years ago that the 158-yearold Wall Street investment bank Lehman Brothers, awash in greed and arrogance, brought itself down and helped bring the economy down with it. The economy has made a slow, painful recovery since then, and while there is ground to be made up it could be quickly lost if right-wing radicals in Congress get their way. Controversial Obama administration efforts in response to the 2008 crisis he inherited like the Troubled Asset Relief Program and the bailout of General Motors and Chrysler, along with his $800 billion stimulus package and new bank regulations, staved off another depression, and the stock market has rebounded dramatically. However, according to an AP analysis released Monday, the jobs gap between rich and poor is the largest in at least a decade. There is a long way to go. The nation will not get there, however, if Republicans succeed in shutting down the government on October 1 or refuse to raise the debt limit so we can pay our bills on October 15. As President Obama said in observing the anniversary of Lehman Brothers’ bankruptcy, these manufactured, ideology-based crises could trigger “economic chaos,” costing the economy the painstaking gains made over the last five years. Average Americans would suffer, along with the elderly, school children and members of the military. Emerging as an unexpected voice of reason Monday was tea party Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, who at a community meeting in Louisville described a government shutdown as a “dumb idea,” adding that elected officials should fight for what they believe in “and then maybe we find something in between the two.” That is how good government has always worked and will work again if given a chance. Partisan obstructionism based on ideological precepts is always a recipe for failure, and next month it could jeopardize hard-won economic gains in the nation and negate the possibility of economic progress to come.

They said it “Actually, my plan was to go to medical school — but I had always really loved art. I was really unsure I wanted to go to pursue medicine and a family friend suggested I look into dentistry. To me, every dental procedure seemed like a work of art, so it seemed to be a wonderful fit for me.” — New Troy dentist Dr. Laura Castle of Brighter Days Dental “We’ve done a complete and thorough accounting of the city expenses over (Gentlemen of the Road) weekend and have reconciled them against the $155,000 pre-payment Jam made prior to the festival.” — City of Troy Service and Safety Director Patrick Titterington, on The Gentlemen of the Road Stopover Tour “We are just started new with a new name and a new vision. I love the pictures and I love when people come in to tell their stories. I love when the older townspeople stop in and remember what certain buildings used to be and hear about certain people who have contributed to our culture.” — Pleasant Hill History Museum Center board member Lesa Delcamp WRITE TO US: The Troy Daily News welcomes signed letters to the editor.

The ‘proud poppa’ moment that I want My friend (and our current roommate) Tommy had a milestone parenting moment earlier this week. And I personally couldn’t be more jealous. Because it’s one of the ones that I want to hit most. Tommy doesn’t get to see his son Stryder much. He and his wife Katie are divorced, thanks to the Army literally getting him killed in Iraq roughly five years ago — ironic, since the only way he felt he could marry her in the first place at the time was by joining. But that’s another whole long story. She and Stry live in Arizona at the moment, meaning the Internet is the best , well, only way for Tommy to spend time with his son. So they spend a lot of time Skyping with each other, but earlier this week Katie decided to buy Stry a copy of “Diablo III” for the XBox 360. Tommy had been playing it for a solid two weeks straight since it was released, and since it has online cooperative multiplayer elements, the two of them were able to play a video game together over the Internet. While they were playing, Tommy noticed that Stry had disappeared from his screen after a particularly big battle. So he asked

where he was. During the insanely rare times “I had to go back to town, Tommy got to spend time with daddy. My inventory was full. I Stryder in his early youth (thanks, had to sell all the extra stuff.” George W. Bush, for getting my As if Tommy wasn’t already best friend killed for nothing!), beaming, Stryder came back a he spent a lot of time letting minute later.

Marriage and kids weren’t even on my radar. But guys have biological clocks, too, it would seem. And once I met the right woman, Mandie, and married her, the rest just seemed natural. We still have a year or so to wait, though, so for now I just get to be jealous. One day soon, though. My children, their mother and I will rescue all of the princesses in “Castle Crashers,” decimate the armies of Hell in “Diablo III” and fend off the locust hordes in the “Gears of War” series (although that last one may come a little later, when they’re older). Or heck, who knows what kind of multiplayer games and experiences await in the next few years as developers discover what the new consoles are capable of? If nothing else, my children are guaranteed to always have the newest, coolest video game system around. Because gamers’ children always turn into gamers themselves.

WWII soldier’s letter finally reaches daughter RENO, Nev. (AP) — A World War II soldier’s heartfelt letter to his daughter has finally reached her, seven decades after it was written. Peggy Eddington-Smith received the letter penned by her father, Pfc. John Eddington, as well as his Bronze Star and Purple Heart medals, during an emotional ceremony Saturday in Dayton, Nev., about 40 miles southeast of Reno. The father she never met wrote the three-page letter shortly after she was born and shortly before he died in Italy in June 1944. He sent it while stationed in Texas, just before he was sent overseas. Getting his medals was nice, but the letter meant more because it made her feel closer to her father, Eddington-Smith said. She knew little about him since her mother could rarely

bring herself to discuss the love of her life. “The letter gave me more knowledge of who he was,” she told The Associated Press. “He poured out his heart to me, and a lot of men don’t put that kind of emotion in writing. I’m just overwhelmed by everything, trying to absorb everything.” Donna Gregory of St. Louis found the soldier’s letter and other World War II memorabilia in a box 14 years ago while helping her then-husband clean out his grandparents’ home in Arnold, Mo., a St. Louis suburb. Gregory’s voice cracked with emotion as she read the letter Saturday, bringing tears to EddingtonSmith and many in the crowd of about 150. The soldier devoted the first page to his wife, saying he hoped she did not

find it “silly” that he was writing a letter to a child who could not read. Addressing the next two pages to his “darling” daughter, he wrote that while she may not see him “for some time,” he wanted her to know that she was always on his mind. “I love you so much,” the letter says. “Your mother and daddy … are going to give you everything we can. We will always give you all the love we have.” Eddington urged his daughter to “always treat your mother right. You have the sweetest mother on the Earth.” He closed the letter by writing, “I love you with all my heart and soul for-

ever and forever. Your loving daddy.” Eddington-Smith and Gregory are unsure what connection the soldier had to the couple who owned the house where his memorabilia was found. Eddington was from Leadwood, Mo., about 75 miles southwest of St. Louis. Gregory tracked down Smith in June after a search that involved libraries and the Internet. Both women cried during their initial phone conversation that left the daughter shocked by the items’ discovery. Eddington-Smith knew her father died in the war. She was unaware of the

letter and other contents of the box, including 16 letters from Eddington to his mother, his draft card and military dog tags, his high school diploma and newspaper clips. An only child, she grew up in St. Louis and lived there until her mid-20s. She moved with her four children to Nevada in 1972 after a divorce. Her mother, Helen, never remarried and died in 1997. “I would ask my mother why she didn’t get remarried and her only comment was that she found the perfect man and will never again find the perfect man,” EddingtonSmith said.

Pope’s blunt remarks pose challenge for bishops NEW YORK (AP) — In recent years, many American bishops have drawn a harder line with parishioners on what could be considered truly Roman Catholic, adopting a more aggressive style of correction and telling abortion rights supporters to stay away from the sacrament of Communion. Liberal-minded Catholics derided the approach as tone-deaf. Church leaders said they had no choice given what was happening around them: growing secularism, increasing acceptance of gay marriage, and a broader culture they considered more and more hostile to Christianity. They felt they were following the lead of the pontiffs who elevated them. But in blunt terms, in an interview published

Thursday in 16 Jesuit journals worldwide, the new pope, Francis called the church’s focus on abortion, marriage and contraception narrow and said it was driving people away. Now, the U.S. bishops face a challenge to rethink a strategy many considered essential for preserving the faith. “I don’t see how the pope’s remarks can be interpreted in any other way than arguing that the church’s rhetoric on the so-called culture war issues needs to be toned down,” said John Green, a religion specialist at the University of Akron’s Bliss Institute of Applied Politics. “I think his language calls for less stridency on these issues.” The leadership of the American church is composed of men who were appointed by Popes John Paul II or Benedict

XVI, who made a priority of defending doctrinal orthodoxy. Over the last decade or so, the bishops have been working to reassert their moral authority, in public life and over the less obedient within their flock. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops warned Catholics that voting for abortion-rights supporters could endanger their

souls. Church leaders in Minnesota, Maine and elsewhere took prominent roles in opposing legal recognition for same-sex marriage in their states. Bishops censured some theologians and prompted a Vaticandirected takeover of the largest association for American nuns by bringing complaints to Rome that the sisters strayed

Watchdog gets details of Syrian arsenal THE H AGU E , Netherlands (AP) — Technical experts at the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons were reviewing Saturday a further disclosure from Syria about its chemical weapons program. A day earlier, the body that polices the global treaty outlawing chemical weapons said it had received a preliminary submission from Syria. No details have been released of what is in the Syrian declarations, and OPCW spokesman Michael Luhan refused to give any more information about the latest submission. Under a U.S.-Russia agreement aimed at swiftly ridding Syria of its chemical arsenal, Damascus had until Saturday to submit a full list to the organization of its chemical weapons and production facilities so they can be secured and destroyed. U.S. officials said last week that Washington and Moscow agreed that Syria had roughly 1,000 metric tons (1,100 tons) of chemical weapons agents and precursors, including blister agents, such as sulfur and mustard gas and nerve agents like sarin. In the aftermath of the U.N. report that concluded sarin had been used in an Aug. 21 attack in Damascus, the Haguebased chemical weapons watchdog is looking for ways to fast-track moves to secure and destroy Syria’s arsenal of poison

The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, samples brought back by the U.N. chemical weapons inspection team are checked in upon their arrival at The Hague, Netherlands on Saturday. Syria has sent the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons an “initial declaration” outlining its weapons program, the organization said Friday.

gas and nerve agents as well as its production facilities. However, diplomatic efforts to speed up the process are moving slowly. A meeting initially scheduled for Sunday at which the organization’s 41-nation executive council was to have discussed a U.S.-Russian plan to swiftly rid Syria of chemical weapons was postponed Friday. No new date has yet been set for the meeting and no reason given for its postponement. Under the U.S.-Russia agreement brokered last weekend in Geneva, inspectors will be on the ground in Syria by November. During that month, they are to complete their initial assess-

ment and all mixing and filling equipment for chemical weapons is to be destroyed. All components of the chemical weapons program are to be removed from the country or destroyed by mid-2014. The destruction plan of action will be backed up by a U.N. Security Council resolution. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Friday he talked to his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, about Syria’s chemical weapons. “I had a fairly long conversation with Foreign Minister Lavrov,” Kerry said in Washington. “We talked about the cooperation which we both agreed to continue to provide, moving not only

toward the adoption of the OPCW rules and regulations, but also a resolution that is firm and strong within the United Nations. We will continue to work on that.” The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons polices a global treaty known as the Chemical Weapons Convention, which bars the development, production, stockpiling and use of chemical arms. The organization relies on a global network of more than a dozen top laboratories to analyze field samples. It has already overseen the destruction of large quantities of chemical weapons held by nations including the U.S. and Russia.

from church teaching and paid too little attention to abortion. Terrence Tilley, a theologian at Fordham University, said Francis wasn’t silencing discussion of abortion or gay marriage, but indicating those issues should be less central, for the sake of evangelizing. But he noted that bishops have independence to decide how they should handle local political issues. “Although Francis is sending a clear signal that he’s not a culture warrior, that doesn’t mean the bishops will follow in lockstep,” Tilley said. Few of the U.S. bishops who have commented so far on Francis’ interview indicated they planned to change. Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore, head of the bishops’ religious liberty committee, said in a

phone interview, “Issues do arise and we cannot always control the timing.” However, he added, “Every time I make a statement about one of these things I will certainly take another look at it and ask, ‘Does this really lead people back to the heart of the Gospel?’ “That’s what he’s asking us to do. I think that’s a fair question. “ Lori said he expected no changes in the bishops’ push for broader religious exemptions from the contraception coverage rule in the Affordable Care Act. Dozens of Catholic charities and dioceses, along with evangelical colleges and others, are suing the Obama administration over the regulation. The bishops say the provision violates the religious freedom of faithbased nonprofits and forprofit employers.

Assault on Iraq funeral, other attacks kill 96 BAGHDAD (AP) — Two suicide bombers, one in an explosives-laden car and the other on foot, struck a cluster of funeral tents packed with mourning families in a Shiite neighborhood in Baghdad, the deadliest in a string of attacks around Iraq that killed at least 96 people on Saturday. The assaults, the latest in a months-long surge of violence, are a chilling reminder of insurgents’ determination to re-ignite sectarian conflict more than a decade after the U.S.-led invasion. Thousands of Iraqis have been killed in violent attacks in recent months — a level of bloodshed not seen since Iraq pulled back from the brink of civil war in 2008 — despite appeals for restraint from Shiite and Sunni political leaders. The attack on the funeral was one of the largest single terrorist assaults on civilians in Iraq in recent years. It happened shortly before sunset in the densely populated Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City in northeastern Baghdad. Police said at least 72 people were killed and more than 120 were wounded in that attack. One bomber was able to drive up near the tent before detonating his deadly payload, and another on foot blew himself up nearby, police said. The explosions set the tents and several nearby cars on fire, sending a towering plume of thick black smoke over the city. “I saw several charred bodies on the ground and tents on fire and also burning cars. Wounded people

were screaming in pain,” said Sheik Sattar al-Fartousi, one of the mourners. “The scene was horrible. The funeral turned into an inferno.” He said the first blast went off as dinner was being served in one of several tents set up for the funeral of a member of the al-Fartousi tribe. He estimated that more than 500 people were attending the event. Civilian pickup trucks loaded with casualties and ambulances with sirens blaring were seen racing from the scene. Hussein Abdul-Khaliq, a government employee who lives near the bomb site, said the tents were packed with mourners when the blasts went off. He described seeing several lifeless bodies on the ground, and wounded women and children. The clothes of several victims were soaked with blood, and firefighters had to leave the scene to refill tanker trucks with water as they struggled to contain an immense blaze, he said. “This funeral was not a military post or a ministry building, yet it was still targeted,” Abdul-Khaliq said. “This shows that no place and no one is safe in Iraq.” Less than two hours after the funeral attack, another car bomb blast struck a commercial street in the nearby Ur neighborhood, killing nine people and wounding 14, according to police. Gunmen later shot up a shop that has been discretely selling liquor in the largely Sunni neighborhood of Azamiyah, killing four people, police said.

should shut the government down,” Walker told reporters Saturday after speaking at a Republican conference in Michigan. The Republican-controlled House passed a short-term spending plan Friday that would continue funding government operations through mid-December while withholding money for the health law. Some GOP lawmakers also advocate holding back on increasing the nation’s borrowing limit, which could result in a first-ever default, unless the law is brought down. Obama used his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday to scold “a faction on the far right” of the Republican Party, and he said he would not allow “anyone to harm this country’s repu-

tation or threaten to inflict economic pain on millions of our own people, just to make an ideological point.” Even Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky was sounding more like Bush by suggesting there was little Congress could do to stop Obamacare from taking effect. Paul said while attending the Michigan conference that Republicans could force a vote in both houses of Congress, then negotiate changes to legislation in a joint conference committee. But, he added, time is running out. “I’m acknowledging we probably can’t defeat or get rid of Obamacare,” he told reporters. “But by starting with our position of not funding it maybe we get to a position where we make it less bad.” 40471765

Less than one-quarter of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing, about the same as approve of Republicans in Congress, according to recent national polls. Democrats poll slightly higher, and large majorities disapprove of the work of both. Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, hosting a state Republican conference where Walker and two other 2016 prospects, Paul and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, planned to speak Saturday, said a shutdown “reflects poorly on the national political culture.” Jindal said this week, “I do think the party needs to be more than the party of ‘no.’” Bush was more pointed. He said Republicans would be guilty of overplaying their hand if they passed a spending measure that did not include money for the health care law. Noting that Republicans control only the U.S. House in Washington, or “one-half of one-third of the leverage” in the capital, Bush said there “needs to be an understanding of that, or, politically, it gets quite dicey” for the GOP. Cruz said concerns that voters would blame Republicans for a shutdown are unfounded. “If history is a guide, the

fear of deep political repercussions — I don’t think the data bear that out,” he said. Republican lawmakers and Democratic President Bill Clinton failed to agree on spending in 1995, which resulted in two partial government shutdowns. Clinton was re-elected the following year, but Cruz noted that Republicans held the majorities in both the House and Senate in 1996 and 1998, and collaborated with Clinton on spending cuts and other changes that preceded economic expansion. Paul and Jindal are attempting to create some daylight between themselves and their would-be rivals. Paul called a shutdown “a dumb idea” but said the fight about it was worth having. “I am for the debate, I am for fighting,” Paul said. “I don’t want to shut the government down, though. I think that’s a bad solution.” Jindal, who opposes the health law, has said Republicans need to be “more than the party of ‘no’” but that it’s a bad idea to take any option off the table, including government shutdown. “I don’t think as a party we should negotiate with ourselves,” he said.

OSU annihilates Florida A&M

COLUMBUS (AP) — After a 76-0 victory over outmanned and overmatched Florida A&M, Urban Meyer couldn’t say for certain that his Ohio State team got a lot out of its meek non-conference schedule. “Obviously, at midnight next week, we’ll know,” the coach of No. 4 Ohio State said, referring to the Big Ten opener on Saturday against No. 24 Wisconsin. “Are we prepared? I like to think we are.” There’s no doubt that Kenny STAFF PHOTO/ANTHONY WEBER Guiton is. Ohio State’s Bradley Roby breaks awat from the Florida A&M For the third game in a row, defense Saturday at Ohio Stadium. the perennial backup starred in

place of the injured Braxton Miller. Guiton set a school record with six touchdown passes — all in the first half — in a blow-out of historic proportions. It was an epic mismatch between a team with nationaltitle aspirations and a Football Championship Subdivision member getting a $900,000 guarantee. FAMU, which picked up the sport in 1899, had never lost by so many points. It was the most lopsided Ohio State win since an 85-7 victory over Drake in 1935.

Miles and Miles Hibbler again leads Trojans to victory BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor dfong@civitasmedia.com

SPRINGFIELD — Miles Hibbler knew that if he didn’t do something monumental in the final 1:31, the previous 46:29 would be largely for naught — and that if he didn’t make one big play on defense, the 41 he made on offense would be largely meaningless. “I was tired — but I knew I had to suck it up. I’ll definitely remember the pick I had at the end on defense more than the runs I had on offense,” said Hibbler, who intercepted a pass by Springfield’s Davonte James in the end zone with a little more than 90 seconds to play to preserve Troy’s 21-20 win over the Wildcats Saturday in a game that had been postponed by thunderstorms Friday night. With the win, Troy improved to 2-2, while Springfield fell to 04.

BY COLIN FOSTER Associate Sports Editor colinfoster@civitasmedia.com TROY — Troy sophomore Stephen Jones hopes to do what teammate Branden Nosker did last year and make it out of the Division I regional meet. The Trojans got a little regional warmup Saturday on Senior Day at the Troy Invitational, though the competition level wasn’t nearly as good as it will be come October. Jones (16:25.16) and Nosker (16:36.70) shined at the meet, finishing in the top two spots, while Princeton’s Brandon Mullins (16:48.24) finished third. “I had expectations, but I didn’t expect to win it really,” said Jones, who posted a career best time of 16:09 last week at the Alliance Invitational. “I thought I was going to run a good time, but since this is a sloppier course, I didn’t expect to run a PR or anything.” “I started off slow, but I’m finally starting to pick it up,” Nosker said. “Hopefully I can go for like a 15:50 this year and get top 25 at state.” As a team, Troy (116 points) placed third. Sycamore, which put five runners in the top 11 positions, won with 36 points and Anna was second with 89. Blake Guillozet (17:03) was the third man in for the Trojans, and he was followed by Alex Meier (51st, 19:13), Dylan Magoto (54th, 19:19), Bryce Meier (56th, 19:20) and Connor Huth (19:39). “The boys trained hard this

TROY — The first and last drives of the game went the way Troy Christian planned. Nothing in between did. Grove City Christian piled up 433 yards of offense and 22 first downs Saturday night at Eagle Stadium, keeping the Troy Christian offense off the field and making sure the Eagles’ defense was winded, worn out and not at 100 percent in a 37-14 victory dur-

ing a rescheduled game that was postponed from Friday night due to the threat of lightning. And while some would make the joke that the Eagles (2-2) would like to forget everything that happened between their first and last drives, coach Steve Nolan would prefer that his team didn’t. “We’re a young team, and we’ve still got to learn some things,” Nolan said. “This was a learning experience.

But after Saturday’s 49-13 rout at Arcanum, it’s hard to say when — or if — the Vikings will stop rolling. “We haven’t been 4-0 in a while, so it’s exciting,” Miami East coach Max Current said. “We’re just trying take it one game at a time.” Miami East put up 21 in the first quarter Saturday, then followed up with 14 points in each the second and third quarters. That was plenty

enough offense to get the job done. Robbie Adams led the Vikings rushing attack with 121 yards on six carries and a pair of touchdowns — one from 80 yards out. Michael Fellers caught a 68-yard touchdown pass from QB Conner Hellyer, and he also added a 70-yard kick return score and a pair of rushing scores. Colton McKinney also added a 15-yard TD run and ran for 52 yards on six carries. Alex Brewer added a fumble recovery on Arcanum’s first series of the game. Miami East (4-0, 3-0 Cross County Conference) hosts Mississinawa Valley for homecoming Friday in Casstown.

Trojans ■ CONTINUED FROM A7 duty at cornerback late in the game as Springfield was driving for the goahead score with less than two minutes to play. Springfield had taken over at its own 18 with 3:01 left in the game. After three incompletions in a row, James — who finished the game 12 of 27 for 230 yards and a pair of touchdowns — caught fire. He completed passes of 18 and 19 yards to freshman Danny Davis, then hooked up with Thaddeus Snodgrass — the topranked receiver in Ohio, according to most recruiting services — for 24 yards to give Springfield the ball on the Trojan 21. On the next play, however, he tried to force in another pass to Davis in the end zone to put the Wildcats ahead, but Hibbler turned and caught the pass while falling down in the end zone. He then carried the ball three times as the Trojans ran out the clock to preserve the victory. “He’s a big-time player,” Troy coach Scot Brewer said of Hibbler. “Big-time players make big-time plays — and that’s exactly what Miles did. He’s a special kid and a special player.” While Hibbler may remember the play he made on defense, it was the plays he made on offense that put the Trojans in position to win. On the second play of the game, Hibbler — who has now carried the ball 83 times for 455 yards in the Trojans last two games, both victories — ripped off a 79-yard touchdown run to put Troy up 7-0 early. On the ensuing kickoff, however, Springfield’s Jeff Wellington fielded it at the 15 and returned it 85 yards for a score. Springfield missed the extra point, however, and Troy was able to hold on to a 7-6 lead early. In addition to the stellar play of Hibbler, Troy’s ability to convert extra points — along with Springfield’s inability to convert after touchdowns — would be the difference in the game.

physically. “Going in down 14-7 at the half, I felt pretty good about that. But then in the second half, we had some guys that didn’t even get into their stances. We’ve just got to keep plugging away and working to fix these things.” On the opening possession of the game, it seemed like everything was working just fine for the Eagles (2-2). Troy Christian marched 67 yards in 10 plays to start the game off with a score, racking up four first downs — including one third- and one fourth-down conversion. Luke Dillahunt turned in the big play of the drive, getting around the edge on a fourthand-1 from the Grove City 23yard line before he was finally pushed out of bounds at the 1-yard line, a 22-yard carry. Quarterback Levi Sims stuffed it in on a sneak on the next play, and the Eagles led 7-0. But Grove City (1-3) answered in kind. Quarterback Nate High ran for 15 yards on a fourth-and2 play, and Casey Stauffer capped off an 11-play, 67-yard drive with a 10-yard touchdown run to even the score. From there, it became the Jordan Heywood show. The Eagles turned the ball over on downs on the ensuing possession, and a steady diet of runs by Heywood took Grove City 80 yards in nine plays, with the key play being a 23-yard burst by Heywood. Heywood finished off the drive with a 3-yard score, and Grove City held the lead at 14-7 heading into the break. Heywood finished the

Grove City marched 68 yards in 11 plays on the opening possession, finishing it off with a 6-yard Stauffer touchdown. After forcing Troy Christian into a three-andout, the Eagles then went 86 yards on 13 plays, eating up the majority of the quarter on their way to a 21-yard field goal by Tristan Taylor. All told, Grove City Christian tallied 10 first downs and 159 yards of offense in the third quarter while only allowing Troy Christian to gain one yard on four plays. “That’s the kind of thing we like to do to people,” Nolan said. Tav Sim added a 25-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter and Tre

Troy Christian got its first first down of the second half on the next possession — which turned out to be the final one of the game as the Eagles went 66 yards in 15 plays. They converted a pair of fourth downs along the way, and with 2.4 seconds on the clock, Dillahunt — who finished with 112 yards on 13 carries — scored on a 5yard run.

“We knew this was going to be a big test for us, a chance to see how far we’d really come after the first three weeks of the season,” Nolan said. “We’ll keep improving. We’ve got some opportunities to finish with a pretty good season.” The first of those chances comes in Week 5 as Troy Christian travels to BethelTate before a pair of bye weeks leading into the season’s final stretch.

week and it showed,” Troy coach Bob Campbell said. “Stephen and Branden took control of the race early and were not really pushed. Dylan Magoto and Bryce Meier looked good today. We’ll be looking for good times at the Miami County Meet on Saturday.” • Troy Christian Troy Christian coach Jeff McDaniel thinks reaching the Division III state meet is an attainable goal for sophomore Zac Garver. On Saturday, Garver got a little preview of what regional may feel like on the levee in Troy — and he ran pretty well, finishing fifth overall. His time from Saturday (16:58.44) would have put him in the top eight at last years’ Division III regional meet. “Well have to see (how far he can go), I’ve got to keep working hard, that’s the main thing,” he said. “My coach says I have an opportunity at state, but there’s a lot of hard work out there and there’s a lot of talented guys out there that I have to beat.” Garver came out for cross country after having success during his freshman track season. In his first race (the Bob Schul Invitational in West Milton), he finished third in a time of 16:56. Since then, Garver has went on to have many top 10 finishes. “It’s my first year of cross country, I’ve never ran it before, and I’m just really excited with my times,” Garver said. “I thank God for giving me the talent to do it

Pirates stay ahead of Reds PITTSBURGH (AP) — A.J. Burnett scattered four hits over seven strong innings to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates over the Cincinnati Reds 4-2 on Saturday night. Burnett (9-11) struck out a season-high 12 as the Pirates moved a game in front of Cincinnati for the top spot in the NL wildcard race. Jason Grilli worked the ninth for his 31st save, his first since going to the disabled list with a strained right forearm in July. Russell Martin hit a two-run homer and Jose Tabata added two hits as the Pirates bounced back from a late collapse in a loss on Friday night. Zach Cozart hit his 12th home run of the season for Cincinnati and Ryan Ludwick added an RBI but Homer Bailey (11-11) ended a winning streak at six straight decisions. The Reds rallied for a 6-5 win in 10 innings on Friday, turning three unearned runs in the ninth and Joey Votto’s solo homer in the 10th into a tie with the Pirates for the top spot in the NL wild-card race. It was the second gutpunch loss by the Pirates in three days. In danger of falling behind the Reds in the

standings for the first time in since June 20, Pittsburgh reduced its magic number to three behind Burnett. Ludwick’s RBI single in the first and Cozart’s deep home run to left leading off the second gave the Reds an early 2-0 lead before Burnett settled in. Mixing his fastball with a curveball nearly unhittable, Burnett retired 14 of the final 15 batters he faced and became the first righthander in Pittsburgh’s 126year history to reach the 200-strikeout plateau when he fanned Joey Votto to start the sixth. Bailey wasn’t quite as sharp. Making his first at PNC Park since throwing a no-hitter at the Pirates last September, Bailey was solid but not spectacular. An off night by Cincinnati’s typically reliable defense didn’t help. Alvarez reached with two outs in the third when Votto mishandled a slow chopper to first. Martin followed by taking a fastball from Bailey and sending it into the bleachers in left field to tie the game at 2. Pittsburgh broke the tie in the sixth. Andrew McCutchen walked with one out and sprinted to third when Bailey’s attempted pickoff throw slipped

past Votto and rolled to the wall. Justin Morneau walked to put runners on the corners and Byrd hit a sacrifice to deep center field to give the Pirates the lead. Bailey gave up four runs, two earned, on three hits with four walks and three strikeouts. Reliever Zach Duke — who spent six years in Pittsburgh during the club’s miserable two-decade losing streak — came on after Byrd’s sacrifice fly and immediately surrendered an RBI single to Alvarez that gave the Pirates a tworun cushion. Burnett responded by breezing through the seventh in perhaps his final regular season start at PNC Park as a member of the Pirates. His deal is up at the end of the season, and while he’s embraced his role as the pitching staff’s wise old man, he may be too expensive to retain after going 25-21 with a 3.45 ERA over two years. Those matters can wait. Burnett let loose an emphatic fist pump when pinch-hitter Henry Rodriguez struck out to end the seventh. He walked off to a loud ovation after steadying a franchise still trying to figure out how to win this time of year.

M-U boys win Bellbrook Invite

BELLBROOK — MiltonUnion won the Bellbrook Invitational Saturday, with five runners in the top 15. Colton Graumen, a freshman, was top man in for Milton in fourth (18:45.70).

Vikings fall in “Clash In Casstown” final Staff Reports

CASSTOWN – Still playing with a shuffled lineup, the Miami East Vikings showed that they could still hang with some of the best that three states have to offer. Hosting the first-ever “Clash in Casstown” volleyball tournament, featuring six teams from Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana ranked in the top 20 in their respective states, the two-time defending Division III state champion Vikings reached the title match before falling to Bellmont (Ind.) Saturday at Miami East High School. The Vikings (11-4) lost to Bellmont 25-13, 25-18. To get there, though, Miami East defeated Bishop Ready – which it knocked off in the state title

game last year – 23-25, 25-16, 25-22 and then beat Adams Central (Ind.) 20-25, 25-22, 25-22. “I thought the day went well all-in-all,” Miami East coach John Cash said. “In the first two matches we lost the first set and weren’t playing well. But the girls made some changes, tightened some things up and found ways to win. And that’s what you’ve got to do against good teams like these. “It will be nice to one day again play with a complete lineup. But with these girls playing out of position and being forced to do different things, it’s only going to help us later on.” Ashley Current had 19 kills, four aces, eight blocks, 11 digs and 29 assists on the day for

the Vikings, Allison Morrett had 15 kills, an ace, 16 digs and 23 assists, Kati Runner had 10 kills, a dig and an assist, Trina Current had nine kills, two aces, six blocks and two digs, Angie Mack had eight kills, two aces and 24 digs, Anna Kiesewetter had 35 digs and Lindsey Black had an ace and 11 digs. “We did some pretty good things today,” Cash said. “We made some plays when we had to.” Miami East travels to Urbana on Monday. Troy 3, Tipp 1 TIPP CITY – After their match a week ago against Versailles, the Troy Trojans saw one thing in particular that they needed to fix. One week later, they showed

how far they’d come. Troy (11-5) had 19 blocks as a team and found ways to win late in tight games, defeating inter-county rival Tippecanoe in four 25-17, 25-23, 20-25, 25-20 Saturday at Tippecanoe High School. Jillian Ross had a big day with a match-high seven blocks and 13 kills for Troy, while Katie DeMeo added nine kills, four blocks and three digs. “We’ve really been trying to focus on our front row presence ever since our match against Versailles,” Troy coach Michelle Owen said. “We blocked really well today, and it helped us to get them (Tippecanoe) out of any kind of groove. We put ourselves in a good enough position and never stopped fighting.”

Lauren Freed added nine kills, four aces, two blocks and 27 digs, Emily Moser had nine kills, an ace, two blocks and 22 digs, Ashton Riley had four kills, three aces, four digs and 13 digs, Leslie Wynkoop had 41 assists, 13 digs and two aces and Abby Brinkman had 29 digs. “We didn’t serve as tough as we like, but we found a way to win against a crosstown rival,” Owen said. Troy hosts Piqua Tuesday on Senior Night. With a win, the Trojans will clinch their second straight outright Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division title. Other scores: Mississinawa Valley defeated Troy Christian 25-14, 25-16, 25-14.

“We don’t want a pity party,” said Rattlers coach Earl Holmes, who made a point of saying the Buckeyes didn’t run up the score on his team. “I don’t have a problem with that. I don’t expect the coach to kneel. You play the game. You play for 60 minutes.” At least it was decided relatively quickly. The Buckeyes (4-0) needed a total of four offensive plays and 46 seconds to go up 21-0 in the opening 6 minutes and never looked back. Guiton, who completed 24 of 34 passes for 215 yards, tossed four TD passes in the first quarter. “I had all day,” Guiton said. “The coaches wanted to come out throwing the ball around and I thank them for the trust they had in me to be able to do that.” FAMU (1-3) was behind 48-0 when it picked up its initial first down in the second quarter. The Rattlers’ biggest previous margin of defeat was 73-6 to Tuskegee in 1926. They lost to Oklahoma 69-13 a year ago and South Florida 70-17 in 2011. The stats were as lopsided as the score. Ohio State had a 34-2 edge in first downs and a 603-80 differential in yards. “I wouldn’t say we’re unsatisfied,” tight end Jeff Heuerman said. “There’s always room for improvement. We’re not perfect.” Miller, the Big Ten’s offensive player of the year last season and a Heisman Trophy hopeful this year, missed his second game in a row with a sprained medialcollateral ligament in his left knee. Meyer had said Miller

was probable to play against the Rattlers, but he never put on his uniform. It didn’t take long for this game to get out of control, with or without him. After a short punt ended the Rattlers’ first possession, Ohio State took over at the FAMU 30. On third down from the 3, Guiton’s pass into the end zone was picked off by Patrick Aiken. Aiken, however, elected to try to run the ball out. He got to the 3 before being hit by running back Jordan Hall and fumbling the ball away. “I got caught up in the moment,” Aiken said. “I made a mental error. I should have just kneed the ball in the end zone.” On the next play, Hall scored the first of his two touchdowns. After a 65-yard punt return by Corey Brown put the ball at the 11, one play later Guiton flipped an 11-yard TD pass to Heuerman. That made it 13-0 — the Buckeyes inexplicably went for two but failed — with the touchdowns coming on two plays totaling 10 seconds. Doran Grant blocked the next FAMU punt and the Buckeyes were right back in business at the 25. It took two more passes to make it 20-0, with Guiton hitting Evan Spencer for the final eight yards and the score. Carlos Hyde, who had been suspended for the first three games after an alleged altercation with a female in a bar this summer, took a shovel pass the final yard late in the quarter. After the ensuing kickoff, Bradley Roby intercepted a pass by Damien Fleming and returned it to the 5. It was 34-0 after Guiton

(AP) — Cam McDaniel scored on a 7-yard run following a questionable pass interference call, one of several penalties that hurt Michigan State, and Notre Dame beat the Spartans for its 10th straight home win. The Fighting Irish (3-1) also took advantage of another questionable pass interference call in the first half that set up a 2-yard touchdown pass from Tommy Rees to TJ Jones and a holding penalty that kept alive a drive that led to a 41-yard field goal by Kyle Brindza. The Spartans (3-1) had 10 penalties for 115 yards by the Big Ten officials. NO. 7 LOUISVILLE 72, FLA. INTERNATIONAL 0 LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Teddy Bridgewater threw four touchdown passes and Louisville’s defense allowed a school-record 30 yards, helping the Cardinals blow out Florida International. It was the highest scoring game for the Cardinals (4-0) since a 73-10 victory over Murray State in 2007. It also matched the school’s fifth-largest margin of victory. Bridgewater hit DeVante Parker for two TD passes and Gerald Christian and Eli Rogers for one apiece before Will Gardner came on and passed to Michaelee Harris for another score in the fourth quarter. Dominique Brown, Senorise Perry, Michael Dyer and Brandon Radcliff rushed for TDs. Charles Gaines

returned the secondhalf kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown, and recovered a muffed punt to set up Bridgewater’s second TD pass in the second quarter. Bridgewater had 212 yards on 17-of-22 passing, part of Louisville’s 464-yard effort against winless FIU (0-4). NO. 9 GEORGIA 45, NORTH TEXAS 21 ATHENS, Ga. — Aaron Murray threw for 408 yards and three touchdowns, and ran for another score to lead Georgia over pesky North Texas. Murray overcame an early interception in the end zone, hooking up with freshman Reggie Davis on a 98-yard TD — the longest pass play in school history. Arthur Lynch and Chris Conley also had touchdown catches for the Bulldogs (2-1). NO. 17 WASHINGTON 56, IDAHO ST. 0 SEATTLE — Keith Price threw for 213 yards and three touchdowns in less than a half, Deontae Cooper scored his first career touchdown after three major knee surgeries, and Washington routed Idaho State in the Huskies’ final tuneup before the start of Pac-12 play. Bishop Sankey, the national leader in yards rushing per game, barely broke a sweat against the Bengals (2-1) of the FCS. Sankey saw action on the Huskies’ first three series and scored on a 3-yard TD run in the first quarter. Sankey finished with 77 yards on four carries.

NO. 18 NORTHWESTERN 35, MAINE 21 EVANSTON, Ill. — Linebacker Damien Proby and defensive end Dean Lowry each had an interception return for a touchdown to lead Northwestern over Maine. Northwestern improved to 4-0 as it wrapped up its non-conference slate, but this was not the consistent, steady performance coach Pat Fitzgerald was looking for heading into Big Ten play. If not for the interception returns, Maine (3-1) could have been in line for an upset down the stretch. NO. 19 FLORIDA 31, TENNESSEE 17 GAINESVILLE, Fla. — After starting quarterback Jeff Driskel was lost to a season-ending ankle injury, Tyler Murphy led Florida to five scores in a somewhat ugly game, helping the Gators open Southeastern Conference play with a victory over Tennessee. Murphy had a 52-yard touchdown throw to Solomon Patton, a swing pass that went the distance, and made several plays with his legs as Florida (2-1,

1-0) won its ninth straight in the series. Murphy’s 7-yard TD scamper in the fourth quarter made it 31-10 and sent fans scrambling for the exits. NO. 20 BAYLOR 70, LOU. MONROE 7 WACO, Texas (AP) — Bryce Petty threw for 351 yards with four touchdowns and ran 2 yards for another score, and Baylor kept piling up the points in a win over Louisiana-Monroe. The fast-paced Bears (3-0) had seven offensive touchdowns in the 10 drives Petty played. Those TD drives took a total of 6 minutes. NO. 24 WISCONSIN 41, PURDUE 10 MADISON, Wis. — Melvin Gordon ran for three touchdowns, James White added 145 yards rushing and a 70-yard score, and Wisconsin opened Big Ten play with a win over Purdue. Gordon scored from 5 and 27 yards in the first half before capping the opening drive of the second half with a 15-yard touchdown run to give Wisconsin (3-1, 1-0) a 31-10 lead.

one. “You come to Ohio State to compete for the Big Ten championship,” Meyer said. “That actually started in a meeting just a minute ago.” The Rattlers’ largest previous margin of defeat was 73-6 against

Tuskegee in 1926. “It’s always worth it,” Holmes said of scheduling a juggernaut. “You’ve got some guys who have aspirations of playing on Sunday. So you find out exactly where you fit.” The Rattlers found out, all right.

Troy tops unbeaten Tecumseh Staff Reports

TROY — Troy is on a bit of a hot streak as of late. Previously unbeaten Tecumseh can attest to that. The Trojans (6-1-2) rallied for two goals in the final half to squeak past Tecumseh, who was unbeaten entering the game, 2-1. “They are undefeated,” Troy coach Richard Phillips said. “It’s a win these kids wanted. They know some of the players (from Tecumseh) from playing in the spring with them. Tecumseh wanted it, we wanted it. Both teams played hard.” Troy went into halftime down 1-0, but the second half belonged to them. Jake Mastrionni’s goal with 18 minutes to play tied the score, then Adam Witmer provided the Trojans with the gamewinner with under 14 minutes to play. With the win, the Trojans are now unbeaten in their last seven games, having won five in a row before tying Butler on Tuesday. The Lebanon girls defeated Troy 4-0 Saturday at Troy Memorial in the afternoon game. The loss

dropped the Trojan girls to 4-4-2. The Troy boys are back in action Trotwood Tuesday at Troy Memorial Stadium. The game is slated to start at 6 p.m. The girls play at Trotwood Wednesday. Other scores: Yellow Springs 4, Lehman 0. • Girls Newton 3, Xenia Christian 3 Newton and Xenia Christian played to a 3-3 draw Saturday. After Xenia Christian went up 3-0, Newton responded with three goals of its own to force a draw. Madison Tebics had a goal on a penalty kick, Trelissa Lavy scored on an assist by Morgan Miller and Aliya Stein netted one on a pass by Trelissa Lavy. Brookville 3, Milton-Union 2 BROOKVILLE — Milton-Union freshman Danielle McFarland scored two goals, but the Bulldogs still suffered a 3-2 loss to Brookville Saturday. Madison Brandon added an assist on McFarland’s second goal of the game. The Bulldogs drop to 6-5-1 with the loss.

19-year-old Blaney wins Kentucky Nationwide race SPARTA, Ky. (AP) — Rookie Ryan Blaney earned his first career NASCAR victory and another Nationwide Series win for Penske Racing’s No. 22 Ford, holding off Austin Dillon and surviving several late cautions to win Saturday night’s 300-mile race at Kentucky Speedway. Blaney, who drives for Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski in the Camping World Truck Series, used his second start in the Mustang to claim the car’s 10th victory of 2013 and a season sweep at

Kentucky. Keselowski drove the car to victory in June. Blaney’s win included tense moments over the final 40 laps, from beating Dillon off pit road with a two-tire stop on lap 166 to reclaiming the lead from Dillon after losing it on the restart. More tests followed, including a near-brush with teammate Sam Hornish Jr.’s loose Ford and one final restart. Matt Crafton was third, Hornish fourth and rookie Alex Bowman fifth in a Toyota.

Some small companies are renewing their health insurance policies early to avoid having to comply with the Affordable Care Act next year. Koby Mozes, second from left, is senior buyer with the company.

Small businesses temporarily sidestep health law NEW YORK (AP) — Many small businesses have found a way to temporarily sidestep some of the headaches brought on by the new health care law. One of them is Huber Capital Management. The asset management firm is renewing its health insurance policy early, in 2013 instead of 2014. By renewing its policy this year, the company doesn’t have to buy insurance that conforms to the requirements of the new health care law. And it won’t have the surge in premium rates expected under the Affordable Care Act. “We can just push this whole thing off and defer it for essentially one year,” says Gary Thomas, chief operating officer of El Segundo, Calif.-based Huber Capital, which has nine employees covered by insurance. The Obama administration says it won’t force employers with at least 50 workers to comply with the ACA until 2015, but the law will still affect businesses. The administration has delayed only the paperwork requirements for those companies. But any company that offers health insurance, including very small businesses, will still have to contend with the rest of the law starting Jan. 1. And that includes new insurance policies with gove r n m e n t- m a n d at e d types of coverage. Many insurance companies are raising their premiums sharply because they don’t know yet how many people will be covered by insurance. It’s expected that many young people who are healthy won’t want to pay

for insurance, or sign up for it. Authors of the ACA are counting on a larger pool of insured people to bring down overall insurance costs, but if people forgo coverage, that may not happen. Thomas got the idea to renew early from Huber Capital’s health insurance broker, who said the firm would likely have an 8 percent increase in premiums if it did renew in 2013, compared to an estimated 30 percent under a policy that complies with the ACA. The idea is also appealing to many companies because they can put off dealing with the law’s complex requirements. For example, companies with 50 or more workers must do calculations to determine whether they’re providing adequate insurance coverage. If they have employees who work less than 40 hours, owners need to determine whether those workers must be covered. By renewing in 2013, owners will get more time to educate themselves about the law. “Some of the things that might be guesswork or estimates will be more of a known quantity than they are today,” Thomas says. Quantum Networks, an online seller of hightech items, is also renewing on Dec. 1. Its broker says its premiums may be unchanged from this year under a renewed policy. “We want to drag this on as long as possible,” says Bita Goldman, vice president for operations. “For a small company like ours, every little bit helps.” Quantum Networks, based in New York, has 24 staffers.

accounts for about 15 percent of its expenses. CEO Ari Zoldan wants extra time to understand the impact of the law on his company. “With the health ecosystem as complicated as it is, even the brightest of the brightest don’t understand this,” he says. “Over the next year, we’re going to educate ourselves, we’re going to shop around, we’re going to speak to other business owners and ask, ‘what are you guys going to do?’” Anthony Lopez, a small business specialist at online broker eHealthInsurance, says half the clients he’s spoken with are renewing early. He expects more after Oct. 1, when rates for 2014 are published. But Lopez warns that insurance companies have different expiration dates for the option to renew their policies this year. While some allow small businesses to decide as late as December, others have earlier cutoff dates. But businesses that miss the deadline might still get insurance at 2013 rates if they switch to another carrier. Higher Logic, a social media and mobile software company based in Arlington, Va., faced the specter of increasing insurance costs although it doesn’t have 50 workers yet. The company is growing rapidly, having hired 15 people this year. And its 45 staffers are scattered across 15 states, which makes buying health insurance complicated because states have different rules. President Andy Steggles has moved up the renewal date for the company’s insurance from Feb. 1. “If we lock in now, we’ll know we have a 14 percent increase. If we hold off a renewal till Feb. 1, who knows what it’s going to be?” Steggles says. His broker said she can’t estimate the increase in his premiums under the ACA, but she gave him a range of 20 percent to 40 percent. PURR-fect Solution’s insurance policy doesn’t expire until next May, but general manager Chett Boxley is renewing five months early, in December, because the premiums will stay the same. He hopes to set aside money to pay for future rate hikes for the four employees of his Salt Lake City-based company, which manufactures cat litter. Boxley faced a 20 percent to 25 percent rate increase under the ACA. “When I heard ‘no increase,’ I was pretty stoked to hear that. It was a no-brainer — we said OK.”

125 years in the making

St. Patrick School celebrating milestone anniversary By David Fong

Executive Editor dfong@civitasmedia.com

TROY — Pastor Rev. F. Henry Bene wouldn’t have any idea what to do with an iPad. Chances are, however, the man who founded St. Patrick School would certainly appreciate how far the school has come in the past 125 years and how it has remained dedicated to the goal of providing a Catholic-based education for area students. In 1888, Rev. Bene — the third pastor in St. Patrick Church’s history — wanted to build a school to serve the children of his parish. The first school building — known as “The Red Brick School” — was founded that year. The two-story

edifice, a two-story building age of 16. located north of where the Much has changed in the current stands on Crawford 125 years since the school Street in Troy — served opened in 188.

Kevin Baker’s novel explores mid-20th century NYC “The Big Crowd” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), by Kevin Baker Kevin Baker keeps on finding new veins to mine for New York City’s history. Already known for his “City of Fire” trilogy of historical novels featuring immigrants, sweatshop workers and the marginalized people who built the city, Baker’s new book, “The Big Crowd,” is a sort of City Hall noir novel. In 1953, idealistic prosecutor Tom O’Kane’s sleuthing leads him to find out by degrees the truth about his idolized older brother, Charlie, back when he was a district

attorney and then mayor of New York City. The city never had a Mayor Charlie O’Kane (though it did have a Mayor William O’Dwyer with a very similar biography), but the fictitious brothers rub shoulders with real-life mid-20th century wheelerdealers ranging from master builder Robert Moses to Cardinal Spellman. As Tom O’Kane learns more about his charismatic but flawed brother, more is revealed about the seamier side of the men who run the city, or as one character calls them “gangsters with better suits.” Too many historical fiction writers rely on gimmicks (Freud solves

a murder mystery with help from Viennese circus acrobats!), but Baker has always been more interested in using historical events as a jumping-off point to explore the layers of the city. In this book, the 1939 killing of the charismatic longshoreman champion Peter Panto becomes an entry point for describing a waterfront dominated by corrupt bosses and their goons. And the 1941 death of mobster turned stool pigeon Abe Reles is a vehicle to explore the city’s robust underworld. Reles plunged to his death from a hotel window in a Coney Island hotel while under heavy police pro-

tection. Baker weighs in on the lingering debate on whether he was pushed or was trying to escape. There are weak links in the book, particularly the romantic relationship between Tom O’Kane and his brother’s estranged wife, Slim. The relationship adds little to the story and the dialogue between the pair sometimes sounds like it clanked on over from a dime novel. But Baker is a fluid writer with a clear grasp of history who can make vivid the scene of Toots Shor’s legendary joint or the apartment of a Bronx family being displaced by the Cross Bronx Expressway.

NEW YORK (AP) — “Bleeding Edge” (The Penguin Press), by Thomas Pynchon Thomas Pynchon’s latest book, “Bleeding Edge,” begins in New York in the spring of 2001, before Sept. 11 but after the dot-com bubble has burst, leaving Manhattan’s Silicon Alley in a malaise. Somber times, but Pynchon anchors the book with a determined levity, filling 477 pages with quirky characters, silly song lyrics and tender descriptions of Manhattan’s flowering trees and byzantine neighborhoods. The novel centers on Maxine Tarnow, an Upper West Side-dwelling mother of two boys and selfdescribed “paid up member of Yentas With Attitude,” who talks tough and runs a fraud investigation business called “Tail ‘Em and Nail ‘Em.” Tarnow’s cases mostly involve small-time accounting fraud, but soon she gets embroiled in a larger investigation of a computer-security firm called Hashlingerz. It is led by a mysterious techno geek CEO and seems to be unaccountably minting money, triggering Tarnow’s fraud radar. Her investigation leads her deeper and deeper into the Internet underworld, to a Second Life-like “deep Web” world called DeepArcher, to a mysterious underground bunker in Montauk, on a drug-smuggling boat on the Hudson, and a myriad of other places deep in Manhattan’s fringes. Meanwhile, Sept. 11 draws closer, and Hashlingerz’s activities appear to have some kind of connection to terrorist groups. Pynchon, who received the National Book Award for “Gravity’s Rainbow,” zips the plot along at a frenetic pace and populates his book with dozens of colorful characters and pop culture references: bars with Zima on tap, a messenger from the defunct delivery service Kozmo.com who still mysteriously makes deliveries, a Zenned-out surfer therapist, a Web designer obsessed with Jennifer Aniston’s hair, and so on. The novel’s title, used often in the dot-com boom to describe companies with unproven and risky but possibly game-changing technology, today seems somewhat dated, and that’s the point. In “Bleeding Edge,” Pynchon draws parallels between a relatively young Internet and a pre-Sept. 11 Manhattan — both ever-evolving landscapes marked by so much change over the past 12 years that the spring of 2001 seems like an ancient era.

beds. Even something as innocuous as old nylons can be reused in the backyard to tie up floppy plants or line the bottom of pots so water can get through but dirt cannot. Packing peanuts are also a good drainage medium, and lighten the load when large pots need to be moved around, Tornio says. HOMEMADE REMEDIES Old wives’ tales abound for solving all kinds of garden problems, from pesky deer to acidic soil, but many of them actually work. And much of what you need may be sitting in your kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Coffee grounds, for example, can be sprinkled at the bottom of any plant to improve drainage in clay soils, and especially plants that like rich, moist organic soils like azaleas and blueberries, Tornio says. Tornio says soap can keep deer from feasting on trees and plants. She suggests breaking a bar of soap into pieces and hanging them from strings or in old nylons or net bags on trees or other structures near prime deer feeding areas. The scent could also keep other pests away. Terry Grahl, founder and CEO of the Michigan-based nonprofit Enchanted Makeovers, uses the guts left over from her husband’s fishing trips as fertilizer for her gardens.

By SARAH WOLFE (AP) — Looking for a cheaper way to fertilize flowers or keep pests at bay? A better tool for planting tiny seeds? The answers may lie in your home, where common household items like coffee grounds or old pie tins can become easy, eco-friendly tools to give your garden a boost without breaking the bank. Turn old boots or shoes into planters, or reuse packing peanuts by laying them at the bottom of large flower pots to aid in drainage and make for lighter lifting, suggests Stacy Tornio, editor of Birds & Blooms magazine. “You can take anything you have and upcycle it,” she says. Some simple, easy ways to repurpose household items for a bargain backyard: CREATIVE CONTAINERS It’s easy to spend a fortune on pots and vases. But one easy way to start “upcycling” in the garden is by planting herbs, flowers and houseplants in everything from worn boots to old teapots and even bathroom sinks. “They contribute a touch of whimsy and even a ‘settled’ look to a garden scene,” Tornio says. Cristin Frank, a 38-year-old author and gardening blogger from Williamsville, N.Y., uses yogurt cups and other recyclable plastic containers as small pots for her “starter” plants in the spring. Old take-out coffee cups serve as starter watering cans with their smaller, perforated plastic tops. Birdbaths can also be made from household items like an old glass light shade mounted on copper tubing. Justin Cave, an Atlanta-based landscaper and former host of HGTV’s (NYSE:SSP) “Ground Breakers,” recently turned old shipping pallets into a vertical garden by covering the backs and sides with landscape fabric, stuffing them with dirt, and planting succulents and flowers in the slated openings. “It turned out awesome, and was very cost-effective,” he says. TOOLS OF THE TRADE In need of some new garden tools? Save yourself a trip to the hardware store and check your kitchen drawers. Table utensils like spoons, forks and knives are tough and sharp enough to do many gardening jobs without causing damage, according to Tornio. Use them to separate flats, lift seedlings and tease apart dense root balls. Knives can also make a slim path for tiny seeds to fall into. Tornio says she’s also seen people repurpose utensils as garden markers and borders for flower

calcium to soils, while larger pieces keep snails and slugs at bay, according to Florida’s Manatee County Extension Service. WHIMSICAL DECOR Household items can also add a touch of whimsy to garden decor. Use an old musical instrument like a tuba to build a water fountain, or create a “bottle garden” by placing empty soda bottles over tree branches with your kids, says Sara Jenkins-Sutton, vice president of Chicago-based garden and floral design firm Topiarius Urban Garden. “When your cheese grater starts to turn rusty, turn it over, hang it on a deck and fill it with flowers, plants or outdoor chalk,” she suggests. Scatter vintage chairs or old farm

U.S. 30-year mortgage rate steady at 4.57 pct. WASHINGTON (AP) — Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages held steady this week, hovering near twoyear highs. But rates could change quickly next week when the Federal Reserve addresses its bond purchase program. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac (NYSE:FRE) 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 twoyear 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.

Section 7 Lots 6 Available Now!

The purchases have been intended to keep long-term 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.

ment has essentially remained the same for more than a century. “We are a Catholic school first,” St. Patrick School princiapal Cyndi Cathcart said. “That will always be the main thing. But we also are doing what we can to keep up with the times. Our junior high school is one-to-one in terms of iPads. Every student has their own iPad. We do have smaller class sizes here. We also have every sport represented for our junior high school students. We’ve partnered with Piqua Catholic and Holy Angels (in Sidney) to offer Lehman Junior High School athletics. We have football, volleyball, cross country, basketball and track and field. “We’ve even got transportation. We have a van and every night I go and pick up the football and volleyball players at Piqua Catholic. That takes a lot of the burden off of parents. We are trying to get bleachers for the (St. Patrick) Parish Center so we can hold events here. We’ve really come a long way. We’ve got a chess club started. There’s so much

more activity now than there used to be. When I first got here (in 2011), once school was done, that was it. There was no activity in the building. It’s exciting now because there’s so much energy.” No longer known as “St. Patrick Free School,” Cathcart said its important for the school to offer students and parents all it possibly can. “It’s important to adapt,” she said. “Enrollment at Catholic schools, in general, is down. It’s important that we provide a Catholic education, while at the same time offering all the new technology. We’ve got a new media center. We’ve got junior high school now. We’ve had to change and we’ve had to adapt. People are paying to send their kids here — we’ve got to offer them the best of everything. “It’s even harder in a city like Troy, which has such excellent schools. Kids are going to get a great education in the public schools. But we know they are going to get a great education here, as well. Our enrollment is up 30 percent over the last

two years.” St. Patrick classes were moved into the current building in 1953, making this the 50th year classes have been held there. The ground breaking for the new school was held on Nov. 10, 1952 and cornerstone ceremonies were held April 10, 1953. Later that fall, the school officially opened. Cathcart said a number of events will be held throughout the year to mark the school’s 125th anniversary. On Nov. 9, an art auction and Italian-themed dinner. The money raised from the event will be used to help fund the eight-grade class’ graduation trip to Rome. New emblams marking the 125th anniversary have been ordered for the school uniforms and spirit wear. A special end of the year Mass also is being planned. “We’ve done a good job of keeping up with the trends,” Cathcart said. “I have no doubts we’ll be here for another 125 years.”

Yardsmart: Fall planting

Imagine being raised in a comfortable modern home, then suddenly moving to a shack in the desert. It’s hot and dry. There’s little water to be had. You wither in the sudden change of climate. That’s what happens to water-thrifty species of container-grown trees, shrubs and perennials when transplanted in the spring in the West. With this region’s dry season lasting from May to December in some years, there’s no promise of rainfall for spring-planted species. Even the most naturally drought-resistant species will struggle. The problem isn’t the heat itself, but a lack of roots to gather moisture underground to keep leaves fully hydrated. Spring planting doesn’t allow enough time to adapt before heat descends. When you plant in the fall, there’s a long period of moderate dry weather when transplants can root

like crazy before winter. When growth begins the following spring, these plants will do far better in the long run and are more likely to naturalize earlier. Success requires you to understand how plants originating in dry climates around the world survive drought. Nearly all except succulents develop a deep and extensive root system. This helps them access soil moisture trapped deeper down during the dry season when surface soils are parched. Fall planting also gives transplants more time to break out of the potshaped root ball that is key to survival. Your primary goal is to coax roots to venture into surrounding natural soil using water as an incentive. Warm, dry autumn weather combined with correct irrigation practices give transplants a reason to root vigorously until frost slows growth. By the holidays, your

40491553

plant may not show new growth, but it will have made considerable headway underground. When spring comes, the roots are already established and ready to travel even deeper seeking moisture. What few realize is that growing plants in pots interferes with early rooting patterns. Taproots are cut off, and broad horizontal roots encounter the pot wall. For this reason, even the most drought-resistant species must be retrained to develop an expansive root system. The best way to water in these early years is with deep irrigation rather than surface spray systems. This very slow application of water helps it percolate downward through the center of the containershaped root ball. Once it is saturated, the water is drawn by gravity deeper yet, well below the root ball. Then when surface soil dries out, root growth shifts downward to access this store of moisture. The best way to water your new natives is to put the garden hose on trickle at the base of the stem and let it run an hour or two. This saturates the root ball and the soil deeper down. It’s especially important in heavy clay soils that are painfully slow to absorb moisture anytime. Once the ground is sufficiently saturated, you need not water again for a week or more. This water regime is vitally important for Western natives in their first and second year after transplanting. Think of them as children who must be trained properly to become a productive adult. Failing to water deeply at the start results in a dysfunctional root system that may never achieve its optimal drought resistance. Watering deeply and less frequently trains the roots to grow as deep as possible, just as they would in

the wild. Once the plants are well-trained, you can taper off gradually so they become wholly dependent on rainfall or a minimal drip system. Though it may seem counterintuitive to plant in the fall, it’s the Western gardener’s secret to a successful xeriscape, or garden of native plants. Unlike spring-planted shrubs that struggle against the growing heat and drought of summer, these children of fall start life gently, become established far sooner and literally explode with new growth come spring.

Right at Home: a glass act (AP) — When silica, soda and lime meet high heat, a beautiful alchemy occurs. The result — a taffy-like substance otherwise known as glass — has inspired creative minds for centuries. Artists and craftsmen today often combine old-school techniques with new technology to create one-of-a-kind works of arts for the home. Internationally known sculptor Dale Chihuly, based in Tacoma, Wash., has drawn crowds to a variety of public spaces with his outdoor “glass garden” installations of imaginative, other-worldly creations. (www.chihuly.com ) You can find some of his smaller pieces — glass baskets, wall art and table sculptures — at www.artnet.com . In her Detroit studio, Nina Cambron fuses opaque, translucent and iridescent glass into wall panels resembling totems. The enduring quality of glass as an artistic medium is what drew her to it, she says. “It’s just so rich, smooth, shiny and permanent,” she says. “Unlike painting or drawing, you can’t erase and rework an area. After it’s fired, you’re done.” (www.ninacambron.com ) Gale Scott, a glass artist based in Worcester, Mass., uses a technique called “electroforming” that involves blowing glass into copper forms. The hot, soft glass meets the rigid metal and billows into ethereal shapes. (www.galescott.com ) New Yorker Peter Byrum displayed his paintings on glass at May’s International Contemporary Furniture Fair in Manhattan. Using acrylics, he paints natural elements like leaf fronds and coral on layered sheets of tempered glass, sometimes half a dozen or more. The effect is threedimensional, an organic, ephemeral diorama. (www. peterbynum.com ) Thor and Jennifer Bueno of Spruce Pine, N.C., are inspired by nature, and form hot glass into shapes evoking water-washed rocks or molecular structures. “Walking along a river, light bounces across the water’s

surface,” says Jennifer Bueno. Each sculpture is made by blowing and shaping molten glass into “pebbles.” The colors come from adding glass shards or powders. The piece is then baked to hardness, sandblasted and given a protective luster; the result looks remarkably like a rock scoured by the action of a swift current over time. In another series, the pebble shapes are made out of the mirrored material known as mercury glass. “In its liquid state, glass glows with intense heat and moves slowly, as if selfpropelled,” notes Bueno. “Mercury glass has the appearance of liquid metal, undulating and three-dimensional.” The finished glass resembles electrons, particles, even sound waves. (www.buenoglass.com ) At Wayfair.com, you’ll find photographs printed on the back of glass panels from Platin Art. Bamboo stems, flowers, and black and white city skylines seem to float, making for arresting wall art, particularly for large expanses of wall space. (www.wayfair. com ) At LaylaGrayce.com, the Worlds Away Marina Ice Glass collection of furniture has a Hollywood Regency vibe, cool and elegant. Nightstands, chests and other pieces are clad in a milky, translucent glass. (www.laylagrayce.com ) If you’re interested in acquiring art glass, ArtfulHome. com has an extensive collection from North American artists at a range of prices. (www.artfulhome.com ) If stained glass intrigues you, there are tutorials on YouTube. DelphiGlass.com offers stained-glass supplies, kits and tips for beginners. (www.delphiglass.com ) You can also learn more about the history, art and science of glass at the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, N.Y. Try your hand at glassmaking in one of the museum’s many classes. (www. cmog.org )

In this Sept. 16, 2013, photo, guide dog Diezel rests under the table while student Matthew Pettit has lunch at Lincoln Southwest High School in Lincoln, Neb.

Getting dog like winning lottery for blind, deaf boy

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Matthew Pettit dreamed about Diezel long before the 67 pounds of jet black fur came into his life, back when he was a third-grader at Prescott Elementary and first heard the term guide dog. “I wanted it so bad I used to pretend like I had one,” said Pettit, now a 20-year-old senior at Southwest High School who has been blind and deaf since birth. He had to wait until he was older, though, until he’d gotten through Irving Middle School and spent seven years at Southwest High School, until he’d become an accomplished braillist who saw graduation on the horizon and dreams of college in his future. He applied for a guide dog about a year ago, and his application was approved in February. The 18-month-old black Lab made his entrance July 14 at 1:30 p.m., when Pettit waited inside his home with a handful of treats. “It was almost like I won the lottery,” he told the Lincoln Journal Star The process takes a while because trainers look for a good match — and Petitt was pretty sure right off the bat they had done a good job of that. They’re both energetic, both curious, one a talker, the other a

good listener. And the energy part was obvious immediately. “When he first came in the house, he was energetic,” Pettit said. “I like energetic dogs because I’m energetic, too.” In fact, Diezel helps Petitt slow down in the crowded school hallways. “I used to go 100 mph in the hallway,” he said. “I will admit that.” Before Diezel, Pettit used a cane to get around the school plus assistance from a lot of others. He has an interpreter who helps him in class, and he also works with Jill Bohlen, a teacher for the visually impaired and a mobility specialist; a speech and language pathologist; and teachers for the hearing impaired and assistive technology. Now he has exchanged the cane for Diezel. Lincoln Public Schools has had therapy dogs for several years, but this is the first guide dog in at least 15 years, Pettit said. When they knew Pettit would be bringing Diezel this year, LPS administrators talked to teachers and made sure his classmates didn’t have allergies. And they have educated other students about Diezel’s purpose: He’s there to work, not to play, said Bohlen, who has worked with Pettit since he was young. Diezel is a great source of conver-

sation with his fellow classmates, Pettit said. But they’ve had to learn that despite the friendly, dark eyes and wagging tail, they can’t pet the dog, because it will interfere with his work — and his relationship with Pettit. That’s still developing. “It will be six months to a year before we are a seasoned team,” he said. But they’re figuring each other out. “I have someone to talk to when there’s something that can’t stay in my brain any longer,” he said. Diezel sleeps next to Pettit’s bed and eats his Purina Dog Chow while Pettit finishes his Cheerios. They ride to school together, and Diezel curls up near Pettit’s desk during class and relaxes under the table while Pettit eats lunch. After graduation, Pettit hopes to go to college and plans to attend the Helen Keller National Center in New York, where he’ll learn independent living skills. He’s not worried about flying. He’s already done that on his own. And this time he won’t really be alone. Because by then, he and Diezel will be seasoned partners. And he already knows this much about his partner: Diezel loves airports.

New Mexico’s largest city offers lots of history ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Really, it’s not that hard to spell. Just remember, there are three Us and a couple of Qs. Albuquerque, New Mexico’s largest city, has a history that stretches back to the days of the Spanish conquistadors. They were responsible for its name and their influence persists 300 years after they founded the community. Straddling the river banks of the Rio Grande and in the shadow of the Sandia Mountains, the city is more than just a pit stop along the road to New Mexico’s art meccas and other better-known tourist destinations. Albuquerque hosts an international fiesta that draws hundreds of hot air balloon pilots each October (this year, Oct. 5-13). You have to pay to stake your

spot on the launch field, but the colorful spectacle can be seen for free from nearly anywhere in the city. And while you can pay for a balloon ride any time of year, a good pair of hiking shoes, a bicycle or a car can get you a free look at everything around town, from neon signs along historic Route 66 to the dormant volcanoes and lava escarpment that border the city’s west side. And be sure to enjoy the mild climate, sunsets and starry nights while you’re exploring. RIO GRANDE BOSQUE A 16-mile (28-kilometer) recreational path runs from one end of Albuquerque to the other along the cottonwood and willow forest that borders the east side of the Rio Grande. The path

is accessible from many points. In some spots, dirt trails lead to the river’s edge, providing opportunities to see migrating cranes, geese and other wildlife. The riverside forest — known to residents as the bosque — changes colors with the seasons. SANDIA CREST From Albuquerque, you can take a scenic drive up to Sandia Crest, an overlook at the top of the mountain range that faces the city. A mile (1.6 kilometers) above the surrounding landscape, the crest offers expansive views. If you’re more adventurous, put on your hiking shoes and head either north or south from the observation area to see limestone laced with brachiopods and other fossils.

Remember, at 10,678 feet (3,255 meters), the air is thin up there. OLD TOWN PLAZA At the heart of Albuquerque is Old Town Plaza, the San Felipe de Neri Church and several blocks of historic adobe buildings that now house restaurants, galleries and other specialty shops. Walk along the plaza’s portal and you’ll find American Indian artisans from nearby pueblos selling silver and turquoise-laden jewelry and other items. HISTORIC ROUTE 66 Reserve a few hours to take a self-guided cruise along Old Route 66 — now Central Avenue. You’ll pass the historic KiMo Theatre in downtown Albuquerque, the University of New Mexico

campus, countless diners and dives, and the eclectic boutiques of the Nob Hill Historic District. The highlight though is the collection of neon signs — many of them vintage — that get to buzzing around dusk. BREAKING BAD A few nondescript locations around town have become famous in just the last few years thanks to AMC’s hit television series “Breaking Bad.” Go online, print out a free map to the filming locations scattered around the city and don’t forget your camera or smartphone. You won’t be able to resist taking a “selfie” in front of the Dog House Drive In or Twisters, called Los Pollos Hermanos on the show.

AP Photos

This Oct. 6, 2011, file photo shows hot air balloons inflating during the 40th annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, N.M. There is an entrance fee for the annual fiesta, but the colorful spectacle can be seen from many vantage points around the city once the balloons lift off.

This Sept 17 photo shows a tourist outside of the Covered Wagon souvenir shop in historic Old Town in Albuquerque, N.M. The Old Town Plaza area boasts shops and restaurants as well as brick sidewalks and a collection of adobe buildings. Old Town is also home to San Felipe de Neri Church, the city’s oldest church.
