Congress ready to streamline FDA approval WASHINGTON — Mark Haman recalls his face going white when University of Minnesota doctors first told him that his bubbly 23-month-old daughter Josie might need open-heart surgery to fix a little hole in her heart.

Luckily, Josie was talking and acting like her “silly” self, just hours after a far less invasive procedure using a new device that had just received government approval. See

MIAMI COUNTY

Allison Ingle and Derek Gaier will reign over the 2012 Miami County Fair after they were crowned 1 fair king and queen

Saturday at the fairgrounds.

A junior at Covington High School, the 15-yearold Ingle said this year’s fair will be special after

being selected as fair queen.

“It’s my eighth year in 4H and my sister did it last year, so I thought I’d give it a try,” Ingle said after a panel of three judges selected her and Gaier to represent the fair through-

out its various activities beginning Aug. 10.

Ingle, a member of the Stitchin’ Sister 4-H Club and Ears to Tails 4-H Club, participates in the fair with her cooking, sewing and market lamb projects.

Several hundred area residents — many of them dressed in red, white and blue and waving American flags — lined the streets of Troy to welcome Rice home.

The ride was billed as the world’s tallest and fastest wooden roller coaster when it opened. It closed for nearly a year for reconstruction after more than two dozen people were injured in a 2006 accident.

The park closed it again in 2009 after a woman reported she was injured. The park near Cincinnati did not reopen it even though state inspectors found no ride irregularities.

More than 2,500 Piqua residents are left homeless with more than 1,000 homes destroyed in the region.

They lost possessions, businesses, and loved ones.

“They were all gone,” said Trostel.

Gone and later found, as many bodies were found between Farrington and Eldean Roads due to “islands” in the river that would catch debris.

“It took about six weeks to find all the drowning victims,” said Trostel. Word was put out to the Dayton coroner to be on the lookout for area victims, that if he had any unidentified bodies to call, “He called for two, but neither were Miami County people.”

When asked what compelled him to write about the 1913 flood Trostel replied that while a great deal of the information is

out there, “it has never been told, there’s an awful lot that I do try to tell.”

This includes the bravery during the flood, such as two local men who received the Carnegie Medal for Heroism as a result of their actions. Two would also receive the medal in Troy and two from West Liberty.

“Communities that had avoided some portion of the flood, they rallied to the aid of people, sending in relief supplies, food, clothes, there was no government aid,” explained Trostel pointing to a picture of a long line of horses pulling wagons loaded with goods, transversing supplies from one train to another to get to those stricken by disaster.

Trostel’s book is more than 175 pages in length and contains more than 120 photographs with 14 maps and a list of those who perished in the disaster. The book touches on not just Piqua but other communities such as Troy that was 75 percent flooded.

“I’m surprised more people did not die in Troy,” said Trostel as, by Tuesday morning, March 25, the flood waters in the Piqua area had peaked, leveling off in the afternoon and starting to slowly drop but the misery had only begun. One will have to read the book to understand the full extent of the disaster that struck the north and the time it would take for the region to fully recover.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Jerusalem Post on American Jew’s identity: A new type of Jewish identity is on the rise. As with more classic forms of Jewish identity, such as adherence to the strictures of tradition, involvement in Jewish communal functions and Jewish scholarship, this new form of Jewish identity might also help ensure Jewish continuity by preventing intermarriage and providing positive reasons for wanting to remain a part of the Jewish people.

This new form of Jewish identity is called “attachment to Israel” and it is strengthening among young U.S. Jews — a segment of the American Jewish population previously thought to be the most alienated from and indifferent to the Jewish state.

Those are the findings of a recent survey commissioned by the Workmen’s Circle/Arbeter Ring, an American organization first established by Bundists in 1900 that today focuses on promoting Jewish social justice.

U.S. Jews aged 35 and under have become substantially more attached to Israel than those aged 34 to 44, according to the survey, conducted on the Internet in late April and early May among 1,000 Jews who are neither Orthodox nor day school alumni.

This marks a turnaround in the downward slide in young people’s attachment to Israel most famously lamented by American pundit Peter Beinart. The research measured attachment to Israel through a composite index based on two questions: “How emotionally attached are you to Israel?” And: “To what extent do you see yourself as pro-Israel.”

The survey seems to show that young American Jews without a strong background in Jewish education or an Orthodox upbringing are finding an alternative way to identify as Jews: through their attachment to Israel.

What explains this rise in attachment to Israel among younger American Jews?

“In all likelihood, the cumulative impact of Birthright Israel in bringing so many young Jews to Israel may be coming to the fore,” said Prof. Steven M. Cohen, one of the researchers who conducted the survey. …

Over a decade ago, a combined Israeli-American endeavor was launched that has become probably the most successful Jewish identity project of recent decades: Birthright Israel.

Cohen refers to it as the “Birthright Bump.”

The Telegraph, London, on Hillary Clinton’s visit to Egypt: Hillary Clinton had to tread a delicate diplomatic line during her visit to Egypt. Calling on Mohamed Morsi just two weeks after he became the country’s first democratically elected president, the U.S. Secretary of State urged him to open a dialogue with the military as a way to full civilian rule.

She conveyed a similar message to Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, head of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces. The two sides are at loggerheads over the Islamist-dominated parliament, which was dissolved by the Supreme Constitutional Court last month on the grounds that a third of its members were elected illegally. Morsi, whose Muslim Brotherhood allies hold many of the seats, has issued a decree calling it back into session.

Washington’s attitude toward this volatile situation is ambivalent.

While it approves of the general direction of travel toward democracy, it remains wary of the Brotherhood’s radicalism and sees the military, at least for the time being, as a restraining force. Any leverage it has comes from it being the main supplier of foreign aid, which was resumed in March after a five-month suspension and amounts to an annual $1.5 billion, including $1.3 billion of military equipment. A further $1 billion, promised by the Obama administration last year, has yet to be delivered.

Yet, as a long-time ally of Hosni Mubarak, America is still viewed with deep suspicion by the Brotherhood, and the military have repeatedly shown that they will not bow to pressure from across the Atlantic.

Trying to force the pace of reconciliation between the two sides will simply prove counter-productive. All Washington can do is to encourage dialogue within a deeply fractured polity. In pursuit of that goal, Clinton’s two-day visit to Cairo was timely.

THEY SAID IT “I was scared. I was frightened when he went over. But he would always tell me, ‘I’ll be OK, Mom.’ He was so proud of what he was doing. I knew that’s what he wanted to do. On the inside, I didn’t want him to go, but I wasn’t going to stand in his way.”

— Sandy Wheelock, mother of Army Private First Class Jeffrey Rice, a 2007 Troy High School graduate who was killed July 19 in Afghanistan “He was a big dude, but he was a softy.”

— Ali Rice, niece of Pfc. Rice “He was a good kid. I’ve known him since he was a little kid, and that’s all he talked about, was joining the service.

It’s all he ever wanted to do as long as I’ve known him. He just liked being in the service.”

— Troy resident Rosemary Frey, on Pfc. Rice

A long-overdue goodbye — and a big thanks Twelve long years.

That’s how long our friendship has lasted. Sometimes you just have no choice, though. Friends that you met when you were younger don’t have the same priorities as you age — they want to keep having fun and all the attention on them, not caring that you’re building a family that needs to be able to depend on you … and your friend.

And even though, in the past four or five years, that relationship has become terribly one-sided, with me being forced to give and give more and more and getting nothing but stress, headaches, fear and an empty wallet for my troubles, it was still pretty hard to say goodbye.

Well, until I met my new friend, that is.

Naturally, I’m talking about my car.

Back in early 2000, my first car — which I bought used and had a laundry list of problems almost immediately, making me swear I’d never buy used again — was mercifully totalled, leading me to go car shopping. And so it was that I began my friendship with my 1999 Saturn, which only had 15 miles on it when I drove it off the lot. I was the only one to even give it a test drive, you see.

I was 23 then, and for years, that

Josh Brown Sunday Columnist car was exactly what I needed and wanted. It wasn’t big ( I cannot stand driving trucks, vans or big boat sedans even), it wasn’t made for hauling a bunch of people or things around (I only needed to get myself places) and it didn’t misbehave. I’ve never really enjoyed driving — it’s a necessary evil until someone finally is smart enough to invent a Star Trek-style teleporter — so all I needed was a car to get me from A to B reliably. And it was perfect.

But it got angry with me for not keeping up the maintenance — a hard lesson to learn, but one that I vowed never to ignore again — but our friendship was never the same. I tried and tried to show that it could count on me, but I got nothing in return. Unless you count being left dead on the side of the road after the alternator crapped out. Or stuck

while needing to leave to cover a game for work because the starter gave up. Even though I’d paid the car off in full in 2006 — which is an AWESOME feeling — the repair bills that came once a year, once every couple of months and then just too rapid-fire to handle at all without help just took their toll.

And, most recently, the transmission became the most recent problem, leading me to finally cave in and admit that saving the friendship just wasn’t worth it.

Let me tell you what. As great a feeling it is to fully pay off a car that you bought brand new, it’s emasculating to go out in search of a new one with credit like mine in today’s market, to know that you’re still being punished for the mistakes of your youth. To all you kids out there, DON’T get credit cards! Stick to debit and money you actually already have!

Luckily, I’ve learned that harsh lesson, too, and won’t ever make it again.

But my mom wouldn’t let me sit and wallow in misery. She let me borrow her car while I looked, and my stepdad Roger not only got me off my butt and out looking again, but he threw down a down payment for me once we found something, too. And

with my credit the way it is, my dad cosigned for my new car — and the amazing people at Bill Marine in Springfield not only got me approved, but got me a phenomenal rate and saved me mountains of money.

Without mom, dad and Roger and the Bill Marine crew, I would have been stuck in a dead-end relationship that would have surely left me dead on the road at some point in the all-too-near future. But thanks to them, I found a new friend, one that’s perfect for the person I am now — a married man looking to start a family in the next couple years.

My new pal is roomy yet still compact, so I feel more than comfortable driving it. It’s safe. It’s affordable and fills the hole in my budget that moving to a cheaper place opened up perfectly. And it will be dependable for a long, long time, maybe even more than 12 years this time.

I knew I’d have to say goodbye sometime. And it wasn’t nearly as hard as I figured it would be.

More importantly, though, thanks to everyone who helped me say hello to my new car.

OBITUARIES

Columbus artist Curtis Goldstein works on a 15-foot-high mural that represents the past, present and future of the Idora Neighborhood on the wall of former Park Inn on Glenwood Avenue in Youngstown July 20. The YNDC selected Goldstein from about 20 to 30 artists who applied to paint the mural.

Youngstown mural celebrates neighborhood YOUNGSTOWN (AP) — Those traveling south on Glenwood Avenue are greeted by a 90-foot-long by 15foot-high mural that represents the past, present and future of the Idora Neighborhood.

Curtis Goldstein of Columbus finished painting the mural July 20, after working on it for three weeks, on the north wall of the former Park Inn/Mystic nightclub building on the northwest corner of Glenwood and Parkview avenues.

“We wanted to have something beautiful and exciting to showcase the neighborhood,” said Liberty Merrill, program coordinator of the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp., a neighborhood revitalization agency that has focused much attention on the Idora Neighborhood.

The YNDC selected

Goldstein from about 20 to 30 artists who applied to paint the mural, Merrill said. Goldstein who has painted about 20 public murals including in Columbus, Marysville, Reynoldsburg, Glendale and Newark received $15,000 for the Youngstown painting.

The mural on the 2622 Glenwood Ave. building includes depictions of the former Wild Cat roller coaster at Idora Park, Lanterman’s Mill in Mill Creek MetroParks, a young girl who lives in the community blowing bubbles with the bubbles floating past a group of local residents and ending at a community garden.

“The past is behind the girl and the bubbles flow toward the future of the area,” Goldstein said.

Goldstein said he’s a “little worried and nervous about what people will

think” of the mural, but hopes it “builds confidence and pride” in the community.

“When they see it, I hope they feel that good things will happen,” he said. “Also, I hope it inspires businesses to improve and possibly attract businesses” to the area.

The former Park Inn/Mystic nightclub building is owned by Ronald Donofrio, who operates Organized Space, a custombuilt cabinet business, at the location. Donofrio is making interior and exterior improvements to the building.

The Idora Neighborhood is bounded by Old Furnace and Canfield roads, Mill Creek MetroParks and Glenwood Avenue.

“The mural helps draw attention to the great things in the neighborhood,” Merrill said..

Twin thumpings Indians fall in 2nd straight rout MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Samuel Deduno pitched seven strong innings for his second major league win and Josh Willingham hit his 27th homer of the season, leading the Minnesota Twins to a 12-5 win over the Cleveland Indians on Saturday night.

mer prevented Gruden from working with the offense to learn his system. The lockout was lifted for one day during the draft in April, so some players were able to get copies of the new offense to share.

Former No. 2 quarterback Jordan Palmer took the lead in teaching the new plays to the offense during voluntary workouts until the lockout ended.

Then, there were some crazy days as the Bengals got Dalton ready to start and the rest of the offense up to speed on the slim playbook.

It’s always frustrating and sad to see a company be rewarded for treating its customers poorly.

But on this scale in this modern age? It’s unacceptable.

And yet NBC — which scored the exclusive broadcast rights in the United States for the 2012 London Olympic Games — has gone beyond even cheating its own viewers. It offended the organizers of the Opening Ceremonies and the host country — maybe even more than the American version of Borat, Mitt Romney, did — by inexplicably editing out possibly the most moving part of the show to do the worst thing any network possibly could … allow Ryan Seacrest to be on TV. Alright, maybe that last bit is going a little far. Still, there is no denying that NBC’s conscious and deliberate choice to edit out a roughly four-minute-long contemporary dance routine choreographed by Akram Khan set to Emile Sande singing the song “Abide With Me.” Instead of the visually stunning, emotionally moving and simply incredible performance, American viewers were “treated” to a bland interview between Seacrest and swimmer Michael Phelps — who, between the two of them showed even less personality than Queen Elizabeth II did when her own country’s athletes made their way through the stadium during the Parade of Nations (she looked ready to fall asleep).

Why would NBC cut one of the best parts which may or may not be a tribute to the victims of a terrorist bombing in London shortly after the city was awarded the Games — of the amazing Opening Ceremony? They aren’t saying.

Not that they care, either.

NBC got the only thing it wanted out of the ceremony.

Tons of TV viewers.

According to an AP story, 40.7 million people watched NBC’s primetime coverage of the Opening Ceremony, breaking the old record of 39.8 million who watched the opening of the 1996 Atlanta summer Olympics, and topping the 36 million that saw the horrifically-overrated Beijing ceremony in 2008.

And how did NBC get those numbers? By refusing to stream the ceremony over the Internet when it was actually happening.

I get the motivation — force people to watch in primetime so you can charge more to potential advertisers — but that just makes me even more sick.

Dragons Lair EASTLAKE — The Lake County Captains held off a Dayton ninth-inning comeback bid and defeated the Dragons 6-5 on Saturday night.

The Dragons trailed 6-0 after four innings and 6-2 after eight, but they rallied in the ninth before falling short in the opener to a three-game series.

DENVER — The Cincinnati Reds fought their way back from an early 3-0 deficit — then survived a ninth-inning scare with the tying runs on in scoring position — holding on for their ninth consecutive victory by defeating the Colorado Rockies 9-7 Saturday night in Denver.

Johnny Cueto (13-5) picked up his 13th win of the season despite giving up five runs on 10 hits over six innings of work.

Aroldis Chapman earned his 21st save despite the troublesome ninth inning.

Ryan Ludwick, Todd Frazier and Drew Stubbs all hit solo homers to tie the game at 3-3, but the Rockies regained a one-

run lead in the third inning.

The Reds then scored four in the top of the fifth to take the lead for good, the big blow being a two-run double by Brandon Phillips that scored both Cozart and Stubbs.

Scott Rolen added a solo homer in the sixth, and Ludwick hit his second of the game in the eighth.

Dalton liking his options CINCINNATI (AP) — More plays to pick. More route variations for receivers. When he gets into the huddle during training camp, Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton has many more options at his fingertips nowadays.

It’s a lot different than a year ago.

Dalton and the rest of the Bengals were learning a new offense on the run last year during training camp, which was shortened by the NFL’s lockout.

Cincinnati hired offensive coordinator Jay Gruden and installed his West Coast-style passing game, something that

was new to the whole team.

Somehow, they made it work well enough to reach the playoffs as a wild card despite having a rookie quarterback in Dalton and rookie receiver A.J. Green. Both made the Pro Bowl with their unexpectedly strong showings.

They feel like they’re actually working out of a playbook this training camp.

“We can put in more stuff,” Dalton said before practice on Saturday. “We can all basically do whatever we want with some of the guys.”

It’s a quantum leap.

Lewis ties things up on last hole at Evian Masters said Lewis, who equaled the course record in her opening round. “I shot 63 the first day, so I know I can play good out here. I’m not too worried about it.”

Park, who was three shots behind Lewis in third place overnight, had four birdies and two bogeys for a 70.

PARIS (AP) — American Stacy Lewis made a birdie on the last hole to share the lead with South Korea’s Inbee Park after the third round of the Evian Masters on Saturday.

Lewis, who is chasing her third LPGA Tour title of the year, had a 1-over 73 to finish the day at 11 under.

The overnight leader had two bogeys and a double bogey on the back nine before a birdie on the 18th.

best round of the week, but probably not my best ballstriking day,” said Webb, the 2006 Evian winner, after making six birdies. “I made a couple of nice long ones.”

Gulbis, the 2007 champion, had an eagle on the ninth hole.

“The change in my round (was) that I eagled nine,” Gulbis said. “So that definitely turned my round in the right direction.”

Cristie Kerr had a 67 to finish two shots back.

A light rain started in the morning, followed by a

heavy downpour at lunchtime. But Kerr played through the worst of the weather.

“I played great,” Kerr said. “Really just started raining a lot and became hard to make your normal swing.”

On rain-softened greens that took the bite out of Hamilton Golf & Country Club, Garrigus combined his power with some timely putts for a 6-under 64 on Saturday that gave him a one-shot lead over William McGirt, who lost ground despite a 66.

Langer, the 2010 winner at Carnoustie, had a 7under 203 total on Turnberry’s Ailsa Course.

Couples, making his first appearance in the event, had a 64.

Peter Fowler was 5 under after a 65, and John Cook, Barry Lane and second-round Gary Hallberg followed at 5 under. John Cook and Barry Lane shot 66, and Hallberg had a 73.

PSU covered to handle lawsuits WASHINGTON (AP) — Penn State is adequately covered to handle lawsuits stemming from the sexual abuse scandal that has enveloped the campus, its president said, repeating that the university hopes to settle many of them “as quickly as possible” even though its insurer has sought to limit claims.

Rodney Erickson told CBS’s “Face the Nation” program in an interview taped for broadcast Sunday that the university has general liability coverage like any institution of its size.

“We believe that we are adequately covered,” he said in a clip posted Saturday on the program’s website.

“In addition to that, we hope to be able to settle as many of these cases as quickly as possible,” Erickson said. “We don’t want to, if at all possible, drag victims through another round of court cases and litigation. If we can come to an agreement with them, with their attorneys, we believe that would be the

best possible outcome in this whole very, very difficult, tragic situation.”

Retired assistant footcoach Jerry ball Sandusky was convicted last month of abusing 10 boys over 15 years in one of the worst scandals in sports history.

Penn State’s general liability insurer sought last week to deny or limit coverage for Sanduskyrelated claims.

P e n n s y l v a n i a Manufacturers’ Association Insurance argued that Penn State withheld key information needed to assess risk.

In a memo filed in court in Philadelphia, the company argued that Penn State failed to disclose that it had information about Sandusky that “was material to the insurable risk assumed

by PMA.” The company, which has long insured the university, also argued that its policies after March 1, 1992, were amended to exclude “abuse or molestation” and that coverage for such behavior is excluded as a matter of public policy in Pennsylvania.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Brad Keselowski planted an emphatic kiss on the yard of bricks at the finish line, becoming the first driver to celebrate a win at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in NASCAR’s Nationwide Series.

Elliott Sadler was fuming, certain that he should have been celebrating instead.

Keselowski took the lead when Sadler was penalized for jumping a late restart, then held on to win a controversial finish to the inaugural Nationwide race Saturday at the historic 2.5-mile track.

Keselowski said winning at Indy was special because of the track’s tradition.

“I’m glad to be some small part of that,” Keselowski.

Sadler passed Keselowski on a restart with 18 laps to go, but officials ruled that Sadler went too early and black-flagged him.

Sadler stayed on the track for several laps, apparently hoping officials would reconsider the penalty, before finally coming in with 12 laps to go and giving up the lead to Keselowski.

An agitated Sadler said Keselowski spun his tires on the restart — a brief loss of traction that would slow Keselowski down — and Sadler said he had no other choice but to surge forward because cars were stacking up behind him.

“You tell me what the protocol is if the leader beats me to the restart line — which he did — and it’s on video just as clear as day, and then he spins his tires,” Sadler said. “It’s just like missing a shift. Do I stop and wait for him to get his shift right or do I stop and let him get his tires? Oh, yeah, by the way, I’m getting pushed by the 3 car, who’s also getting pushed by the 43 car.”

Keselowski said he hadn’t seen a replay, but his perception at the time was that Sadler was far enough ahead to justify the penalty.

“They just want it to be close and fair,” Keselowski said. “It was obvious that (Sadler) beat us by more than that.

That’s NASCAR’s call.”

Sam Hornish Jr. was second, followed by Ty Dillon, Denny Hamlin and Austin Dillon.

The Dillon brothers are the grandsons of NASCAR team owner Richard Childress; Ty was making only his second career Nationwide start.

“I have to say congratulations to Ty after kicking my butt,” Austin Dillon said. “That was pretty impressive.”

Sadler finished 15th but held on to the Nationwide points lead. He leads Austin Dillon by one point.

“It’s hard to recover from stuff like this,” Sadler said.

“We’re trying to rebound, but today, my heart was definitely ripped out of my chest and I don’t know why, and I still don’t know why right now.”

Danica Patrick’s day ended early after she collided with Reed Sorenson on lap 39.

It was another strong run for Hornish as the 2006 Indianapolis 500 winner is trying to rebuild his racing

reputation after a couple of rough seasons racing stock cars.

Hornish was happy to see his Penske Racing teammate win, but disappointed he wasn’t the one in victory lane.

“I guess if there’s a guy I can handle losing to, it’s Brad,” Hornish said. “But I want to win. To be that close, it would have been nice to be able to do that.

There’s always next week, but there’s never a chance to win the inaugural (Indy) Nationwide race again.”

Kyle Busch dominated the first half of the race, but got shuffled back in the field during a round of pit stops on lap 63 and Hornish took the lead.

Keselowski then passed Hornish for the lead with 29 laps to go, and a caution came out shortly afterward.

Busch was fourth on the subsequent restart but spun out right after the race went green. He managed to avoid major damage but lost his shot at the win.

Sadler then shot past Keselowski on a restart with 18 laps to go but Sadler was black flagged for jumping the start.

With his crew pleading with NASCAR officials,

Sadler stayed on the track instead of coming into the pits to serve the penalty.

Sadler finally came in with 12 laps to go, fuming over the radio to his crew as he gave up the race lead and handed it back to Keselowski.

Adding Nationwide to Indy was part of an effort by officials to drum up interest and boost sagging attendance at the Brickyard 400.

Indianapolis also added a Grand Am Series sports car race on the track’s infield road course on Friday.

But the addition of Nationwide to the weekend schedule didn’t prove to be an immediate hit with fans, as the grandstands were largely empty Saturday.

Officials estimated attendance at 40,000.

Any fans who came to see Patrick race didn’t get to see much of her.

Patrick appeared to tap Sorenson’s back bumper going into Turn 1, causing the back end of Sorenson’s car to slide sideways.

Sorenson nearly saved it, but his left-front wheel got into the infield grass, causing him to spin out. Patrick then hit Sorenson’s car, causing heavy damage.

SUNDAY NEWS • WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM

Manning shines in workout ENGLEWOOD, Colo.

(AP) — Peyton Manning’s first full practice in pads in 18 months drew rave reviews from his coaches and teammates and at least one suggestion that his health is no longer even an issue.

Manning put on an aerial show with Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker and others Saturday morning in the latest milestone to his comeback from a nerve injury that cost him all of last season and led to his release from the Indianapolis Colts.

Although Manning AP PHOTO threw in full pads during his Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning sets to tryouts at Duke University throw on Saturday morning during the team’s training for the Broncos and other suitors during his first foray camp in Engewood, Colo.

into free agency in March and again at times while working out in Denver, this was his first real action in full pads since the Pro Bowl following the 2010 season.

Manning didn’t address the media afterward, but coach John Fox said he thought Manning’s performance was excellent.

“The guy comes to work every day whether it’s in that building or on that field, he attacks it like no other,” Fox said.

Although the defenders weren’t allowed to hit the Broncos’ new $96 million man, Manning seemed to have an extra pep in his step in his first practice at Dove Valley that wasn’t in shells or shorts.

“It was great,” wide receiver Brandon Stokley said. “It was like the first day of school. Football without pads, it’s not football. So, when you put the pads on, you know you’re getting close to the season.”

Through three days of training camp it’s become obvious that Manning’s health isn’t much of an issue, although it could be some time before he takes his first hit, another big signpost on his comeback from four neck procedures.

“I said this when I was working out with him five months ago he looks great,” Stokley said. “So, for us now, it’s kind of a non-issue of how Peyton’s feeling, how he’s doing. That’s kind of so

three months ago. Now he’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with him.”

Stokley, who played with Manning in Indianapolis from 2003-06, said his old friend looks as good today as he did back then.

“He looks like he’s just gotten better and better,” Stokley said. “He looks normal.”

“He looked good when we first got him, to be honest with you,” offensive coordinator Mike McCoy concurred. “I knew some things he had told us before he got here, what he thought of where he was, and he’s gotten better every day. He’s worked extremely hard to get to the point he’s at right now.”

Bengals ■ CONTINUED FROM A6 The game plans were as basic as it gets.

“Going into that first preseason game, we’d only practiced for two weeks maybe,” Dalton said. “We weren’t able to have much in and as much as we wanted. Last year, it wasn’t just the rookies. The whole offense was learning the new playbook.

“This year, there’s definitely a lot more comfort going in.”

The Bengals finished 20th in the league in offense and got the wild card with a 9-7 mark. They lost to Houston in the first round of the playoffs.

Gruden has used this offseason to install more of his offense and add some bulk to the playbook.

“Quite a bit,” Gruden said. “Probably too much. I have always been criticized about having too many plays, but I would rather have too many plays than not enough. But we are going to continue to expand. From a daily, a weekly basis, we are going to add more things.

“But the core is in.

Everybody feels very confident about the core plays we have for both the running game and the passing game, the screen game.

Now we just have to branch off from there.”

The Bengals would like to get their running backs more involved in the passing game this season. Also, they’ve got to find a No. 2 receiver to complement Green, who was their only consistent threat last season. And Green is going to have to learn how to handle defenses focused on stopping him every game.

“Toward the end of the season, they started rolling coverage to my side a lot,” said Green, who led all NFL rookies with 65 catches and 1,057 yards. “But I’m used to that stuff. Now I just have to be able to execute and not get as frustrated as I did last year about it.”

Green has been impressive during the first two days of training camp, an indication he’s not easing off after his Pro Bowl rookie season.

“You just keep marveling at him,” coach Marvin Lewis said. “I marvel at him in everything he does. He’s a godsend of a person that way. He’s just got the right stuff.”

The Dalton-to-Green connection was one of the NFL’s best last season.

They want to become better on the long completions this year.

CORTLAND, N.Y. (AP) — Tebowmania nearly got rained out.

The expected wild scene as Jets fans descended on this central New York college town for the team’s first public practice was tamed by the elements Saturday. Except for scattered cheers and a handful of hecklers shouting comments about the popular backup quarterback’s penchant for holding the ball too long before throwing, it was a relatively uneventful session.

Although the sight of a thoroughly soaked Tim Tebow jogging bare-chested through the deluge after practice might have excited more than a few folks. It even left coach Rex Ryan somewhat speechless.

“Don’t know if I’m there yet,” Ryan said of casting off his shirt, too, even if he has lost 100 pounds.

The wet conditions seemed to cut down not only on the fans’ enthusiasm, but on the number of banners on display. One man wore a green and white shirt with “Mark 6:15 Thou Shalt Have Only One Quarterback” printed on the front.

Real scripture? Not quite.

Mark would be Sanchez, the incumbent QB and the guy who wears the No. 6 jersey to Tebow’s 15. The fan in the shirt, Todd Harmon of Buffalo a tough place to be a Jets fan, he admitted made the three-hour drive to support Sanchez, but also to observe Tebow.

“I think having him here will help Mark push

through and will motivate Mark,” Harmon said. “He’s never had someone pushing him.”

True enough. And from what everyone has seen from the fourth-year pro early in camp, he is responding. Sanchez has looked sharp, throwing darting spirals and hitting his targets in stride.

Even in a downpour.

“Mark can spin it in any conditions,” Ryan said.

As for Tebow, well, as one impatient observer shouted from the grandstand as the rain pelted down: “Throw it, Tebow!”

And when he connected with a receiver, the same fan added: “Wow, you completed one!”

After a wobbly toss, another fan shouted: “That’s a Tebow ball!”

Yes, the natives seemed restless.

That doesn’t mean they are losing faith in Tebow, whose enormous national following has made him a lightning rod wherever he has played. Give everyone a sunny day and a few precise passes from the lefthander and joy will reign in Cortland.

On this day, a few Tebow passes sailed over the intended receivers, and a simple 8-yard throw to running back Shonn Greene had plenty of wobble in it. Ryan even joked about the negative comments, “That was some of the defensive guys just kidding.”

One young lady held up a banner promising better times: “A Season To Believe Let’s Go Jets.” The banner featured photos of Tebow and Greene.

Browns rookie Josh Gordon makes impact at camp BEREA (AP) — Josh Gordon is making a quick impact with the Cleveland Browns.

One day after owner Randy Lerner surprisingly announced his negotiations to sell controlling interest in the team to truck-stop magnate Jimmy Haslam, the Browns opened practice to their fans Saturday. They waited in the rain before gates opened to watch heralded rookies Gordon, Brandon

Weeden and Trent Richardson work with and against veteran teammates.

Not everyone participated. Defensive lineman Ahtyba Rubin ran sprints as teammates ran plays.

Tight end Evan Moore wore a ball cap and watched those in helmets knock each other around.

“Rubin and Evan will be back quickly,” coach Pat Shurmur said, adding little in-depth explanation.

“(Receiver) Carlton Mitchell was not out there.

They are just leg things.”

Shurmur was delighted by an aggressive defense and encouraged at how Cleveland’s prized rookies performed on offense.

“A pretty good practice,” he said. “They tend to get after it … competed well.

I’m seeing a huge difference from last year.”

Gordon drew attention from Shurmur and fans.

Lerner and team president

Mike Holmgren also watched intently from the sidelines.

“I saw Josh play a little faster,” Shurmur said. “I know he can catch the football and he can run when he gets going. He has great size. Joe Haden came back and said, ‘Wow, this is a big sucker.’ “ Haden got the best of the 6-3, 224-pound rookie a few times, too. The 5-foot11 cornerback knocked him off stride in bump-

and-run coverage despite giving away 35 pounds.

Nevertheless, the hardnosed Haden was impressed.

“He’s big and he’s strong,” Haden said. “Now it’s about him learning to run all his routes the same and to come out of breaks strong.”

Gordon said it was no embarrassment to be schooled by Haden. His play a year ago was a key reason why the Browns

finished second overall in pass defense, their best ranking since 1962.

“He’s one of the best defensive backs in the league,” the 21-year-old Gordon said. “It’s great to go against a player like that.”

Gordon was surprised to hear fans hooting and hollering after good plays during a practice where players didn’t even wear full pads and basically were working on tempo.

United States’ Ryan Lochte reacts after finishing first in the men's 400-meter individual medley swimming final at the Aquatics Centre in the Olympic Park during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London Saturday.

Human after all Phelps fails to medal in 400 IM, Lochte wins gold LONDON (AP) — Ryan Lochte turned his much-anticipated duel with Michael Phelps into a blowout, pulling away to win the Olympic 400-meter individual medley by more than 3 seconds Saturday night. Even more stunning: Phelps didn’t win any medal at all.

After barely qualifying for the evening final in a performance that hinted at trouble ahead, Phelps struggled to a fourth-place finish and was denied his 17th career Olympic medal. When it was done, he could barely pull himself out of the pool.

“It was just a crappy race,” Phelps said. “I felt fine the first 200, then I don’t know. They just swam a better race than me, a smarter race than me, and were better prepared than me. That’s PHELPS why they’re on the medal stand.”

Lochte took the gold with a time of 4 minutes, 5.18 seconds. Brazil’s Thiago Pereira (4:08.86) settled for silver, while Japan’s Kosuke Hagino (4:08.94) claimed the bronze — beating Phelps by a fairly comfortable 34-hundredths of a second for the last spot on the podium.

It was the first time since the

2000 Sydney Games, when Phelps was a 15-year-old unknown who qualified in just one event, that he didn’t win at least a bronze in an Olympic race. Since then, he was 16-of-16 — 14 golds and two bronzes.

Lochte climbed out of the pool with a big smile, waving to the crowd and looking about a fresh as he did at the start. He had predicted this would be his year and, for the first race of the Olympics at least, he was right on the mark.

“I think I’m kind of in shock right now,” he said.

As for Phelps, “I know he gave it everything he had.

That’s all you can ask for.”

Phelps was trying to become the first male swimmer to win the same individual event at three straight Olympics. He’ll have three more chances at a threepeat before he’s done in London, having also won the 200 individual medley, plus the 100 and 200 butterfly, at Athens and Beijing.

But this was shocking, totally out of character for a swimmer who won six gold medals in Athens, then a record eight in Beijing to break Mark Spitz’s Olympic record.

“I’m surprised, and not pleasantly,” said Bob Bowman, Phelps’ longtime coach. “I expected he’d be

in the 4:06 range.”

Bowman was asked what Phelps said when he got out of the pool.

“It was horrible.”

The coach’s reply?

“It was.”

With first lady Michelle Obama in the house waving a small U.S. flag, everyone expected a duel between the two American stars.

Only Lochte showed up.

Phelps fell behind right from the start in the butterfly, his trademark stroke. From there, it was all Lochte. He stretched his margin in the backstroke and breaststroke, then cruised to the gold in the freestyle, a good three body lengths ahead of the rest of the field.

“It’s frustrating, that’s all I can say. It’s pretty upsetting,” Phelps said. “The biggest thing now is to try to look forward. I have a bunch of other races, and hopefully we can finish a lot better than how we started.”

China claimed a couple of gold medals on the opening night of swimming at the Olympic Aquatic Centre.

Sixteen-year-old Ye Shiwen set a world record in the women’s 400 individual medley — only the third mark to fall since high-tech bodysuits were banned at the end of 2009. She won in 4:28.43, breaking the mark of 4:29.45 by Australia’s

LONDON (AP) — The U.S. women’s basketball team looked nothing like the squad that is expected to dominant the Olympics.

Maybe it was first-game nerves or a hangover from the opening ceremonies.

The U.S. had to overcome a sloppy performance Saturday before finally putting away Croatia 81-56 in the opener.

Coach Geno Auriemma had said he was hoping that the Americans could play a style of basketball that would be entertaining and help grow the women’s game internationally. That didn’t happen Saturday.

“We have five players who have never been in the Olympics before so they are going to be nervous.

Everybody was a little nervous,” Auriemma said. “We’re better than we showed, but I don’t know that we’re going to be great right off the bat.”

The U.S., which got back to its hotel at 3 a.m. after the opening ceremonies, struggled for the first three quarters before winning its 34th consecutive Olympic contest.

“There was a little jitters, probably a little sluggishness,” U.S. guard Sue Bird said. “For the most part we didn’t finish off plays we normally finish off. We allowed a team that when they get going are known to spread out the floor and try to hit as many 3s as they can, stay with us.”

The victory was far different than the 54-point pounding the Americans gave Croatia a week earlier.

Despite missing its first 14 shots, Croatia hung tough for the first 30 minutes before the Americans finally could pull away.

■ Commentary

Coverage ■ CONTINUED FROM A6 The Internet has connected the world like nothing else can. When something happens anytime, anywhere, we know about it right then no matter where we may be. And NBC sees the value in this for the competition, at least, as it will livestream every Olympic event on its website, giving viewers the unprecedented ability to watch any event they want instead of being hamstrung by TV schedules.

But when it came to the Opening Ceremony — the one thing the majority of Olympic fans would universally want to see —

that power of choice was gone.

Luckily, livestreams of the ceremony could be found other places like on BBC One — it IS the Internet after all. You can’t stop the signal. NBC needs to stop living in the past. The Internet exists, people use it so much they carry it with them everywhere they go on their phones or watch it on our TVs at home, and if we wanted to watch the ceremony live, we were going to — and did — watch it live, with or without NBC’s consent.

The same could be said for Khan’s dance routine. Whether or not it was meant to honor victims of the July 7, 2005 London bomb-

ings — Khan said in a press conference that the theme was “mortality” — the performance was seen during BBC One’s amazing livestream (which was unedited, had less pointless announcer chatter and absolutely no commercial interruption, making it the best way possible to watch) and is easily found all over the Internet today.

Overall, London’s Opening Ceremony was phenomenal in every possible way. Where the 2008 Beijing show was big and gaudy yet soulless and robotic, London’s was brilliantly imaginative, at times being funny, emotional, thought-provoking, uplifting and

clever, all while exploring the rich history of its host.

And for those who watched it live on the Internet, it was a lesson in what broadcasting can and should be in the modern technological age we live in.

For those stuck watching on NBC, it was merely the show NBC wanted you to see — with parts they didn’t want you to see excluded — when they wanted you to see it.

When it most benefited them, not you.

Congress ready to help new medical devices get quicker OK

BY KEVIN DIAZ Minneapolis Star Tribune WASHINGTON — Mark Haman recalls his face going white when University of Minnesota doctors first told him that his bubbly 23-month-old daughter Josie might need open-heart surgery to fix a little hole in her heart.

Luckily, Josie was talking and acting like her “silly” self, just hours after a far less invasive procedure using a new device that had just received government approval.

“For us, it was a total godsend,” said Haman, who lives in Mankato, Minn.

Haman and his wife, Lori, a second-grade teacher, recently offered their testimonials to Sen. Al Franken, one of a growing number of lawmakers in both parties trying to streamline the way the Food and Drug Administration approves new medical inventions.

The Hamans’ story — both their young daughters were treated for congenital heart defects with cutting-edge Amplatzer technology — underscores how time, as well as safety, often is of the essence.

Just a few months’ delay in the FDA approval of the device doctors used to patch Josie’s heart, “and she would have needed open-heart surgery,” her mother said. “It was that close.”

A rare bipartisan urgency also is being felt in an otherwise gridlocked Congress this year as lawmakers look to boost innovation and shorten the time it takes to approve medical technology that often gets a tryout in Europe long before reaching U.S. patients.

The effort comes as Congress readies wideranging FDA legislation that has pitted a $350 billion global medical device industry against consumer advocates in a battle over the U.S. oversight system, which alternately is criticized for being too stringent and too lax.

“Relaxing review standards for medical devices, as proposed in recently introduced bills, would be exactly the wrong course of action, further weakening an inadequate system,”

While getting ready for a wedding, Jenna Hamon, 4, center, gets help putting on a necklace from her dad Mark, front, and mom Lori, at the Hamon family home in Mankato, Minn. the consumer watchdog group Public Citizen wrote in a recent report.

Consumers Union lobbyists also have been making the rounds, talking about patients injured by defective devices, including a North Carolina man who was shocked by a faulty lead in a defibrillator.

While safety concerns have not disappeared, the emerging consensus in Congress is that the government review of potentially lifesaving devices is needlessly slow, hampering U.S. companies in a difficult economy and sending business abroad.

Among the changes in the works are measures to pare down some conflictof-interest restrictions for review by industry experts, reduce regulatory burdens and streamline a decision-making process that has been growing longer as advanced technology becomes more complicated.

At the heart of the legislation is an agreement to

double the fees paid by device makers to help the FDA review their products. “Safety is the key part of this,” said Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., who crafted language providing for voluntary early notification of potential drug shortages. “The major piece is to give them the resources to enforce standards, to not just have things wait for a decision, good or bad.”

Franken also has created a measure that would

extend profit incentives for “humanitarian” devices aimed at rare conditions that affect small patient populations.

That’s where Josie Haman, now 5, and her sister Jenna, 4, came in.

Although the Amplatzer devices that saved them from open-heart surgeries several years ago were not approved under a “humanitarian” exemption, their family’s ordeal illustrates what is at stake.

Both girls faced the

prospect of major openheart surgery if doctors had not been able to fit them with relatively new devices stemming from groundbreaking technology.

But the financial investment in devices for pediatric medicine aren’t always as easy to recoup, according to the girls’ physician, Daniel Gruenstein, director of pediatric interventional cardiology at the University of Minnesota’s

Children’s Hospital.

After years in development, a related device already has been approved for use in Europe, but not in the U.S. “We’re five years out now, we’ve spent millions of dollars, and we can’t even offer this to kids,” Gruenstein said.

The devices that the Haman girls received were benefiting children around the world for several years before they received FDA approval.

Breathe in this natural painkiller

BY DANIELA VELAZQUEZ Tampa Bay Times Tough guy Mike Gluchowski balked at even the thought of meditation.

But as he looked at his dozen prescription medications for his chronic pain and post-traumatic stress disorder brought on by a career in law enforcement in New York City, the New Port Richey, Fla., resident was willing to try something new.

“I don’t know how or why it works — I don’t want to know or care,” Gluchowski says. “The results I’ve had have been totally incredible.”

Gluchowski, 54, discovTranscendental ered Meditation (TM) through Operation Warrior Wellness, a nonprofit group that aims to teach the techniques to veterans, military personnel and those suffering from PTSD. Science has just begun to quantify the benefits of an ancient art that practitioners have touted for thousands of years.

Researchers think meditation affects the autonomic nervous system, which regulates functions such as heartbeat, breathing and digestion. Neuroscientists have begun to home in on how meditation affects the brain’s reaction to pain, and why many meditators say that what was once unbearable is now tolerable or even barely noticeable.

Meditation also is widely used to alleviate stress and the many health implications that come with it, from insomnia to heart disease.

It’s not the answer for everyone, but its fans say it can be astonishingly effective, with-

At the least, meditation might be a way to decrease dependence on drugs, some say.

“A majority of the population is taking some kind of substance to lower their level of stress or pain,” said Gluchowski’s TM teacher, Jim Vuille. “It’s an epidemic in our society — whether people use illegal or legal substances — to try and feel better, to try and dull the negative discomfort.”

There are many ways to meditate. Here is a look at some of the most popular methods — TM, mindfulness meditation and Integrative Restoration — and what practitioners and science have to say about their effectiveness for pain relief: The Beatles’ trip to India in the 1960s to study with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi made Transcendental Meditation, the form of mantra meditation he originated, famous around the world. The discipline has a long line of celebrity devotees, including Oprah

Wellness Center Larry J. Holland, D.O., F.A.C.O.O.G.

Winfrey, film director David Lynch and TV’s Dr. Mehmet Oz. Practitioners use a word, sound or phrase repeated silently (a mantra) to achieve a state of relaxed awareness.

Studies of TM have yielded quantifiable results for pain reduction.

In a 2006 pilot study, at the researchers University of California, Irvine, found that the brains of long-term practitioners of TM showed up to 50 percent less reaction to pain in MRI images than did people in a nonmeditating control group.

After the control group practiced the technique for five months, its response to pain dropped up to 50 percent.

Rooted in Buddhist traditions, mindfulness meditation focuses on what is being experienced — such as one’s own breath — with the practitioner learning to observe thoughts and feelings as they come and go without reaction or judgment.

Recent research illustrates how a mindfulnessbased practice reduces pain by aiding the senses in processing information about what’s happening in the body while decreasing how much thinking is involved, according to a Harvard

University study published in the December edition of the journal Cerebral Cortex.

The study showed that 22 percent of meditation practitioners felt their pain was less unpleasant when they meditated. The findings intrigue scientists because they show how two different brain mechanisms work together to change a person’s perception of pain, said lead author Tim Gard.

“The really exciting part of our study is that we show that pain modulation through mindfulness has very different neural correlates than other forms of pain modulation,” he said.

A year ago April, Wake Forest University used MRIs of subjects’ brains to measure activity levels.

They found that meditators cut their pain levels by 57 percent. The findings, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, showed that just four sessions of 20 minutes can alter pain perception.

Dr. Alex Lerner, 61, isn’t surprised.

With two back surgeries for herniated discs caused by his labor-intensive work as an obstetrician, Lerner, of Tampa, Fla., was always in pain.

Prolonged steroid treatments for his back pain caused four retinal detachments and after he became blind in his right eye, he retired.

As he faced the possibility of a third back surgery in 2006, he took a mindfulness-based stress-reduction course, based on the work of University of Massachusetts neuroscientist Jon Kabat-Zinn.

The course gave Lerner confidence that he could change his own view toward pain, and lessen his experience of it.

“When you’re in pain — and I was in pain — you want to get away from it,” Lerner says.

Meditation doesn’t affect the back condition that is

causing him pain, but it does change how his brain perceives it, he says.

“This is something that’s happening in my body but it’s being organized in my head,” he says.

Integrative Restoration Integrative Restoration, also called iRest or Yoga Nidra, is a guided meditation that uses several common meditation techniques, such as breath awareness, body scanning, visualization and positive reinforcement, to achieve a state of deep relaxation.

IRest alleviates posttraumatic stress disorder in soldiers returned from combat, according to a study done at Walter Reed Army Medical Center (now called Walter Reed National Military Medical Center) by the Integrative Restoration Institute. The importance of nondrug pain relief was highlighted again earlier this year with the release of a government study showing that veterans with PTSD and physical injuries who are prescribed powerful opioid painkillers are at slightly more risk of suicide or overdosing on drugs and alcohol.

The U.S. military has endorsed its use in medical centers across the country.

Yogani Studios owner Annie Okerlin teaches yoga and meditation classes to injured veterans at the James A. Haley VA Medical Center in Tampa and Bay Pines VA Medical Center in St. Petersburg, Fla. “They are able to find a place of ease with the pain,” Okerlin says. “The body wants to feel the positive; it doesn’t want to feel upset.

The body will choose the more positive and will create new neural pathways.”

One of Okerlin’s students, Joel Tavera, 24, initially was skeptical, but now he’s a believer.

“My favorite is Yoga Nidra,” the Tampa man said.

“It’s one of the best things I get to do.”

Emergency room shows healthcare failings

BY DAN K. THOMASSON Scripps Howard News Service WASHINGTON — Have you been to the emergency room lately?

If you haven’t, try to avoid it. That may not be possible, because when you call your primarycare doctor seeking immediate attention, the first thing you hear is an automated voice telling you to “call 911 or go directly to the ER.” Trying to find relief in the emergency room — especially on or approaching a holiday — is like stumbling into a scene jointly written by Joseph Heller and Franz Kafka. As in “Catch 22” and “The Castle,” there’s no way out.

The horror began in mid-afternoon with a hurried call for help. The 74-year-old woman had fallen and feared she was badly hurt. Her daughter arrived within minutes and found her on the floor, unable to get on her feet. They called 911. The response was quick, and with some effort she was placed on a gurney and rushed to the hospital two miles away.

After the daughter had dealt with the admittance bureaucracy in what has become Northern Virginia’s major hospital center, she found her mother in an ER treatment room in major discomfort.

Nurses and doctors filed in and out, with long intervals in between. Xrays showed that she has broken her right arm near the shoulder (she’s right-handed). The final diagnosis was that, while she did not need surgery, she would need a sling for more than a month. Her right knee, while not broken, could not support her.

An orthopedic resident showed up six hours later and declined to admit the woman, despite her age, her lack of mobility, her diabetes and a history of congestive heart failure. The patient lives alone in a house full of stairs, and her daughter’s house was no better suited to dealing with her injuries.

“We can’t admit her for a broken arm,” he said.

“But it is more than that,” the daughter protested.

The patient was released. After a heroic struggle, she was somehow loaded into the back of the daughter’s car, driven home and ultimately installed in a recliner on the house’s first floor, not far from a powder room. There she stayed for four days as relatives took turns attending. Throughout the process, numerous calls for nursing care or admittance to a rehab center ended with “you need to call these people.” It became clear no outside help was available on a holiday weekend. More importantly, the patient was told, in a classic Heller turn: “You have to be admitted to the hospital for three nights before Medicare or anyone else will come to the rescue.”

Guess what? That would mean going back through the ER process, a totally unacceptable solution. By the fifth day, the woman was running a fever, had developed a severe cough, and was listless and refusing food. The daughter again called the ambulance • See FAILINGS on A13

Medi-Share is a controversial health-care-sharing ministry

BY TOM KISKEN Scripps Howard News Service Faith.

It’s why Robert Daniel Apodaca Jr. invests $345 a month into a medical bills payment program for Christians that’s most easily explained by what it is not: It’s not insurance.

Not regulated by state or federal watchdogs. Not bound by contract to cover his family’s medical costs.

Instead, the program called Medi-Share is sort of a cooperative of the devout that allows Apodaca, a born-again Christian, to help others pay for surgeries and treatments with the faith that when someone in his family is sick, they’ll return the favor.

“In a sense, it’s trying to do God’s work by helping your neighbor,” said the 23-year-old truck driver who lives in a small rented house in Ventura, Calif., with his wife and 4year-old daughter. “It says in the Bible to help someone in need.”

Medi-Share is a controversial health-caresharing ministry of 50,000 Christians. Families in the 19-year-old program pay an average of $280 a month. The money from one member is used to pay for bills for someone else.

When Apodaca’s contribution is used, he receives a prayer message of thanks.

“It’s awesome,” he said.

To be eligible, members must sign a statement of beliefs including that the Bible is without error and Jesus was born of a virgin mother. They vow not to engage in sex outside of marriage and not to smoke, abuse alcohol or use illegal drugs.

Medi-Share provides coaches and programs aimed at improving health. Designed for what an administrator calls big burdens, it doesn’t cover regular checkups or preventive care. People with cancer or type-2 diabetes are not covered for preexisting conditions.

Coverage guidelines

Failings • Continued from A12 and the mother went to the ER. Seven hours later, the patient was moved again — this time to a room in the hospital’s heart center. She had developed pneumonia from being unable to move, and there were signs of other severe problems. A week later, she was assigned to rehab.

All this could have been avoided with the proper response to the first emergency.

The ER staff is a hassled, overworked lot that moves at a snail’s pace and the ER specialists seem oblivious to ailments except with the most urgent trauma. (In 13 hours, the patient had spent less than five minutes in the presence of an actual doctor.) Much of this clearly stems from the fact that Americans with no insurance use the ERs as their only access to medicine. They have no doctor, just the ER, and they naturally clog the system. They have no other recourse. Medical care in America is a learning experience. One of the things learned is that it frequently doesn’t work very well.

Because the program is voluntary and run by members who can pull out whenever they want, leaders say it’s not insurance, meaning they’re not governed by state or federal insurance regulators.

A U.S. Department of Health and Human Services official said provisions of federal health care reform that mandate coverage for pre-existing conditions and preventive care apply only to health plans. Medi-Share officials said their program is not a health plan.

The reform law also includes a provision that members of health care ministries are exempt from the 2014 mandate that requires people to obtain insurance — an exemption Medi-Share uses as a publicity pitch.

The claims of protection from state insurance regulations have sparked a decade of court battles in Kentucky, where the state Supreme Court ruled the plan is insurance and issued an injunction that regulators allege the organization is ignoring.

Based in Melbourne, Fla., Medi-Share started in 1993 as part of a nonprofit called Christian Care Ministry. It’s one of a handful of ministries that offer Christians a less expensive way to cover costs by applying biblical principles.

Medi-Share has covered liver transplants and bills as high as $900,000, said Tony Meggs, CEO of its parent group, Christian Care Ministry. The organization limits spending to $1 million a year for a member’s medical bills and $5 million for a lifetime.

With contributions that function like premiums

and out-of-pocket expenses similar to deductibles, the plan sounds like insurance. It isn’t, Meggs said, because there’s no guarantee medical bills will be paid. There’s no contract.

And members’ payments are not tax-deductible either as charitable contributions or medical expenses.

Outsiders familiar with health-care sharing worry about the lack of oversight.

“The people putting in money aren’t very protected if something goes wrong or someone’s acting in a disingenuous way,” said Dylan Roby of the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research.

The ministries target people desperate for an alternative to insurance and who have devout reli-

gious beliefs, said Mila Kofman, a research professor at Georgetown University Health Policy Institute. She worries about Medi-Share’s lack of a guarantee.

“For consumers, it can be devastating, especially someone who signs up thinking they’re going to get help for medical bills,”

With phantom pain, severed nerves that once served the now-missing limb continue sending pain signals to the brain. The brain remaps itself to make sense of the missing limb, Kabazie said, describing a complicated process involving the brain, spinal cord and psychological factors.

During remapping, nerves from neighboring parts of the brain grow into the now largely inactive region that had controlled the limb. Those rogue nerves produce pain signals perceived as coming from the nonexistent limb.

Treatments include various drugs, stump desensitization, spinal cord stimulation and distraction, Kabazie said. Bomkamp’s approach has the brain focus on heat rather than pain. “As long as it’s not invasive, it can’t hurt,” Kabazie said.

Bomkamp is a political science major interested in a law degree, rather than bioengineering. She says her math disability would hamper engineering studies, but it hasn’t quashed her ambitions for inventing.

With her latest prototype, she’ll seek U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval to test her socket on patients. She’s thinking about other treatment devices, including one for neurological pain.

BY STEPHANIE M. LEE San Francisco Chronicle An increasing number of doctors are talking to their patients about medical concerns on social networks. Physicians are adding patients as friends on Facebook and discussing their private health issues in the open.

And while getting a wall post on Facebook from your doctor may seem innocuous, such acts can lead to awkward situations, privacy violations or wrong information, say experts.

“A lot of stuff is people sharing too much information that should either be left confidential, or in some cases information that shouldn’t be shared because it’s not true,” said Ryan Greysen, assistant clinical professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.

In a recent study of 48 state medical boards, which license and discipline doctors, Greysen found that 44 of them have received reports of violations of online professionalism. Violations included improper contact with patients, inappropriately giving diagnoses and misrepresentation of one’s credentials.

Disciplinary measures have ranged from limiting or suspending physicians’ licenses to revoking them, the UCSF study found.

In one instance, a physician asked one of his patients for a date through an online dating website.

Another physician, on his blog, called a patient “lazy” and “ignorant” because she had made several visits to the emergency room after failing to monitor her sugar levels.

In yet another case, a med-

ical student filmed a doctor inserting a chest tube into a patient, whose face was clearly visible, and posted the footage on YouTube.

The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act sets boundaries on the ways health care providers use and disclose information that identifies patients.

That includes a patient’s health condition, birth date and even the existence of enrollment with a provider.

In California, a pair of laws since 2009 has authorized the state to investigate and fine medical facilities for health information privacy breaches. Those laws resulted from a string of widely publicized security violations at the University of California, Los Angeles, where employees looked at celebrities’ medical records.

So far, the California Department of Public Health has issued 18 fines worth $2.2 million to medical facilities. The agency received reports of about 2,500 violations last year.

The department does not separately track online violations.

Nearly 90 percent of physicians use a socialmedia website for personal use, and 67 percent use it professionally, according to a survey of 4,000 physicians by QuantiaMD, an online forum for doctors.

“My hunch is that in the majority of cases, people had a lapse in judgment about something, but because it’s online, the reach of these online behaviors is so much greater,” said Greysen, who maintains a professional Facebook page and tweets about social media

and medicine.

“The impact can be a lot broader and faster because of the speed at which information travels.”

Health care providers need to be especially aware of the risk as they turn to keeping patients’ records on electronic databases, said Anthony Wright, executive director of Health Access California, a patient advocacy group.

“We are entering into a world where we need to have a balance between a legitimate desire for seamlessness and sharing of information and data collection,” he said, “with strong privacy guarantees and guidelines.”

This spring, the Federation of State Medical Boards, which oversees the groups that license doctors, established guidelines for physicians’ use of socialnetworking sites. The group recommends that doctors interact with patients online only when discussing medical treatment in a professional context, and avoid doing so on personal socialmedia sites.

In addition, the group said, physicians may write online about their experiences as health professionals, but should also reveal their conflicts of interest and credentials.

For doctors who want to chat about work online, they may find an outlet in Doximity, a new social-networking site in San Mateo.

Begun in spring 2011, the site is a confidential forum that allows verified physicians to discuss research and talk about medical cases. So far, Doximity has drawn more than 567,000 physicians from 87 specialties nationwide.

Edison names interim dean of arts and sciences For the Miami Valley Sunday News

PIQUA

Following an extensive search, Edison Community College has named assistant professor of mathematics Naomi Louis as the interim dean of arts and sciences.

Louis will officially take over the position Aug. 1.

Louis, who has taught at Edison for three years, came to the college to be an assistant professor of mathematics after teaching as an adjunct in Virginia for several years at various universities

including Old Dominion University, and as a full time professor at New Horizons Regional Educational Center Governor’s School for Science and Technology.

She has been teaching in mathematics at the college level since 2001.

Louis attended State University of New York at Potsdam, receiving her bachelor’s and master’s degrees there.

“This definitely an opportunity to serve the students at the college on

suing careers in fields such as science, business, technology and education.

Additional degree programs within arts and sciences include economics, mathematics, history and psychology.

“I’m hoping to help the division here on campus become more cohesive and build that positive team environment that we really strive for here at Edison,” she added.

Louis is married to her husband Michael, who works at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and has a stepson, John.

Edison adds new faculty PIQUA — Two new full-time English faculty members will be joining the Edison Community College roster this fall, bringing with them a broad spectrum of experience and talent to share with students and the community.

The new faculty are an important addition to Edison’s efforts to meet the growing needs of its post-secondary (PSEOP) and degree-seeking student populations and to expand on them.

Becky Lindeman, who

has been teaching at the college as an adjunct since January 2011, came up through the ranks of Edison as a PSEOP student, continuing on to receive her associate of arts and associate of science degrees 2006.

She later attended Wright State University, graduating in 2008 with a bachelor’s degree in English and in 2010 with a master’s in English Literature. Lindeman has also worked in the Edison Learning Center and online as an eTutor since 2011. She currently lives in Piqua.

NEW YORK (AP) — Coke and Pepsi are chasing after the sweet spot: a soda with no calories, no artificial sweeteners and no funny aftertaste.

The world’s top soft drink companies hope that’s the elusive trifecta that will silence health concerns about soda and reverse the decline in consumption of carbonated drinks. But such a formula could be years away.

That’s because the ingredient that makes soda taste good is also what packs on the pounds: highfructose corn syrup.

Artificial sweeteners like aspartame that are used in diet drinks don’t have any calories but are seen as processed and fake.

Natural sweeteners that come from plants present the most promising alternative, but companies haven’t yet figured out how to mask their metallic aftertaste.

Despite the complexities, soft drink makers push on in their search.

The store opened in Piqua in September 2006, and has assisted with several shoe drives in the past, including one in the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake.

how bad soda is,” said Koster, who works in public relations. “You start considering a lot of the ingredients, whether it’s fake sugar or the real sugar.”

High-fructose corn syrup, the cheap sweetener that’s used in most sodas, has the same nutritional value and taste of sugar. A can of regular soda typically has about 40 grams of high-fructose corn syrup and 140 calories. By comparison, the same amount of apple juice has about 38 grams of sugar and 165 calories, but companies can tout the vitamins and other nutrients juice provides.

Aspartame, the artificial sweetener commonly used in drinks such as Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi, doesn’t have any calories. But some drinkers worry about the fact that the sweeteners are not natural. Public perception has been colored by past studies that have suggested it caused cancer and brain tumors in rats even though The American Cancer Society says there’s no evidence showing it has any link with an increased risk for cancer in adults.

The concerns have led soft drink companies to search for natural, zerocalorie sweeteners, including stevia, which is derived from a South American shrub. Natural sweeteners have neither the calories of sugar nor the negative associations of artificial sweeteners. The trick, however, is figuring out how to make them taste good in colas.

“Every sweetener has its own notes that need to be mixed with other flavors,” said Mehmood Khan, chief science officer for PepsiCo. “It’s a bit like an orchestra playing music, as opposed to one instrument.”

A bottle of Pepsi Next is displayed amongst cans of 10-calorie sodas from Dr Pepper Snapple Group in New York. Coke and Pepsi are chasing after the sweet spot: a soda with no calories, no artificial sweeteners and no funny aftertaste. according to data from Beverage Digest, an industry tracker.

In New York City, a ban on the sale of sugary drinks bigger than 16 ounces in restaurants, theaters and stadiums could take effect as early as March. The mayor of Cambridge, Mass., proposed a similar ban last month. And in Richmond, Calif., voters will decide in November whether to pass the nation’s first penny-perounce tax on soda and other sugary drinks such as fruit juices and teas.

All the negative publicity has some once-faithful soda drinkers cutting back.

Krista Koster, a 29-year-old who lives in Washington D.C., used to down about two cans of soda a day. Now she’s trying to kick the habit and be more conscious about what she drinks.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Sunday, July 29, the 211th day of 2012. There are 155 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight: On July 29, 1914, transcontinental telephone service in the U.S. began with the first test phone conversation between New York and San Francisco.

On this date: In 1890, artist Vincent van Gogh, 37, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Auvers-surOise, France.

In 1921, Adolf Hitler became

the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party.

In 1948, Britain’s King George VI opened the Olympic Games in London.

In 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act, creating NASA. In 1975, President Gerald R. Ford became the first U.S. president to visit the site of the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz in Poland.

In 1981, Britain’s Prince

Charles married Lady Diana Spencer at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London.

In 1985, the space shuttle Challenger began an 8-day mission that got off to a shaky start — the spacecraft achieved a safe orbit even though one of its main engines shut down prematurely after lift-off.

Successful entrepreneurs shared letter ‘H’

BY PATRICK D. KENNEDY For the Troy Daily News The other day, during my habit of historical reflection, I thought about how often events or trends seem to happen in clusters. Have you ever noticed this phenomenon? There is an old saying about bad things happening in groups of three. Well, sometimes good things can also take place in sequence.

In the days before national conglomerates and international economies, most industries and businesses around the country were locally owned, and there was no exception in Troy. Our town has had numerous core businesses which supported, strengthened and re-invested in the community.

Troy has been blessed with many people throughout its history who have worked hard, established businesses and then later expanded the same, whereby they profited, but also gave to the community, but, in reflecting on this, one of those quirky “clusters� became evident.

In the 19th and, especially, the 20th centuries, families whose surname begins with the letter “H� seem to have had a corner on the market of being successful entrepreneurs in Troy.

This is not meant to infer that anyone whose name does not begin with this letter has not worked hard, been successful or profitable to the community. I am merely suggesting that there seems to be an inordinate number of successful individuals and families with this commonality.

Here are some examples for you to ponder. Of course, time and space will not let me go into great detail about each and every family.

In the 19th Century, Troy business leaders were the Allens, Colemans and Dyes, but also looming large were the Hatfields, Hennes and Hoaglands, along with Lewis Hayner.

The Hatfield family first ventured into the hotel business when Elias Hatfield purchased the Washington Hotel on East Main Street and promptly changed its name to the Hatfield House. The great location near the railroad and its depot made for a profitable business. Later, several members of the family branched off into the hardware business, which specialized in plumbing, heating and sheet metal work.

The Hoagland family was well-known in Troy and Piqua,

but there claim to fame was in the baking powder business in the 1860s. How the “recipe� actually came about is lost in history, except for company lore, an aunt’s special home mixture, a chemist’s concoction (of course, his name was Holden), etc.

However it came about, three men — two Hoaglands and a Detmer — eventually entered into business together with the brother’s recipe and Detmer’s capital and began what for years was known as the Royal Baking Powder Co. It began here but the business was soon moved to Brooklyn, N.Y. All three men became very wealthy. But only Detmer remembered his home county in his will.

The Hennes and Lewis Hayner were in the distilling business. Joseph Henne and his family had purchased a business on West Water Street and turned the concern into a lucrative adventure. The end of the business came about just after the turn of the century (1900) with the enactment of the Rose Local Option Law in Troy and Miami County, whereby, the citizens voted to “go dry.� Other Henne family members pursued the shoe, jewelry and auto businesses and were successful owners and active in civic affairs for many years.

Lewis Hayner founded a liquor distilling business in the late 1850s which was quite successful. Originally located at Farrington, Hayner relocated the distillery to Troy just after the Civil War. In 1892, Hayner died and his two nephews, William and Charles Hayner, purchased the company and expanded its output and profits. Later, William Hayner, along with his business partner Walter Kidder, who was not an “H� member, but had married William’s half-sister Georgiana Hayner (“H� by proxy), introduced an innovative concept of direct mailing of their product to customers. This was one way the company was able to survive the option law, but it became a fatal flaw later. The innovation quickly led to another invention, a combination lock. It was found that mailmen, postal clerks, or somebody along the shipping route was “dipping into the mail� and customers complained of receiving less than full bottles. The company came up with a combination lock for their bottles and sent the combination number separately, much in the same manner as credit card compa-

nies do now. Through direct mailing, the Hayner business became enormously successful.

The end of the Hayner Distilling Co. came with Prohibition. Hayner found it difficult to ship the illegal liquid through a government agency, the post office.

Another successful “H� during the 19th century was Samuel K. Harter, who was one of those men who had his hand in almost everything legally conceivable and was profitable at almost everything he did. He was in the hardware business and also invested in several other local companies, but his fortune came through the Dr. Harter Medicine Co., which was founded by Samuel and his brother Dr. Milton G. Harter and later joined by another brother, Dr. Matthias C. Harter.

The concern, which produced Dr. Harter’s Fever & Ague Specific, was started in Troy in 1862, but after the Civil War relocated to St. Louis. The company was quite successful. Even after the two doctors died within 6 weeks of each other in 1872 the company continued to flourish with Samuel as the president. Early in the 1890s, Samuel Harter’s daughter, Mary, married William Hayner, the distiller (thereby creating some kind of “H� superpower), who became the general manager of the medicine company and eventually moved the operations to Dayton.

By the time he died in 1898 Samuel Harter had amassed quite a fortune, but news accounts and stories attest that he often was generous to those around him and also re-invested in the community he loved.

Of course, as his only adult-surviving child, Mary Jane Hayner inherited her father’s estate, as well as that of her husband William when he died in 1912.

But she continued the habit of contributing to the community, and it is widely known that she left her home to the Troy Board of Education, which is now the Troy-Hayner Cultural Center and a great asset to Troy.

Another prominent industrialist from the eighth letter of the alphabet family was Clarence Charles Hobart, or C.C., as his friends called him.

C.C. Hobart was the founder of several companies in Troy, including Hobart Manufacturing, Hobart Brothers and Hobart Cabinet Co. Other concerns which had their founding in these compa-

“The Hoagland family was well-known in Troy and Piqua, but there claim to fame was in the baking powder business in the 1860s.

The details of these individual businesses are fascinating and made be read in Peter C. Hobart’s book, “The Industrial Hobarts.� C.C. and his children and grandchildren produced and made Troy recognizable through the companies he founded. The Hobart name, whether it is meat slicers, KitchenAid mixers or welding techniques, is known the world over and Troy is often known as the home of Hobart.

But Troy profited in more than just tax revenue and job creation. The Hobart family has been very involved in the community since C.C. first came here. It is through the generosity of the Hobarts and the C.C. Hobart Foundation that the residents of Troy have enjoyed an ice and events arena and classic football stadium for more than 60 years. It is also one of the reasons groups and organizations have been able to fund projects or purchase needed space. The Hobart family gave the city another gemstone with the urban preserve, off Dorset Road. Many other events and projects were made possible because the family believed in giving back to the community that welcomed C.C. Hobart. Several of the Hobart

and related family members have been active in civic affairs through the years.

One of those “H� power mergers took place when William Howell married Marcia Hobart.

Mr. Howell became vice president of sales and marketing for Hobart Brothers and was responsible for many projects that once again brought recognition to Hobart and thus our community. Through innovative and progressive welding processes and systems and the promotion of the company by Mr. Howell, Hobart Brothers became the leader in many areas, especially with landing special projects such as the welding construction of the World Trade Centers in New York, the Canadian National (CN) Tower in Toronto and the Sears Tower in Chicago. Mr. Howell also played a strong role in securing Hobart Brothers’ role as a supplier in the Alaskan Pipeline.

Two other “H� families which were influential in business and community were the Houser and Herrlinger families. The Housers were related to H.F. Douglass, who was the partner of A.G. Stouder in the Troy Carriage Sunshade Co., which diversified through the years and became wildly successful and shipped their well-known umbrellas and lawn furniture all over the world. Several of the Housers carried on the “family business� at Sunshade, but also contributed greatly to Troy’s success with contributions and involvement in civic activities.

Gummed Products Co. was the domain of the Herrlinger family for many years. Company founder Edward F. Herrlinger and, later, his sons Roth and Paul and their children, were successful in business, but also continued, like so many before them, the tradition of ensuring Troy’s success financially and as a well thought out community.

That is a brief overview of the power of “H� in Troy. In sharing these thoughts, I have not forgotten the Allens, Scotts, Stouders, Johnstons or Robinsons. This was simply an exercise in one of the fascinating aspects of historical research in this city we call home. Perhaps, someone could begin another good trend.

Teachers learning to file assault complaints Number of incidents varies widely BRIDGEPORT, Conn.

(AP) — The first time Christine Taylor, a teacher at Central High School, was assaulted by a student, it didn’t occur to her to report it, seek immediate medical assistance, or even call in sick the next school day.

Her 250-pound, 6-foot-3 assailant, a sophomore, was running past her in the hallway, on his way to a fight, when it occurred.

“I said, ‘Turn around and go back into your cafeteria.’ He goes, ‘Get out of my way,’ and slugs me in my left shoulder, punches me with an open palm, knocks me into the locker and kept right on going.

My head must have snapped back. I wasn’t expecting it,” said Taylor, recalling the 2003 incident as if it were yesterday.

A second-year teacher at the time, Taylor wasn’t aware of what to do if she was assaulted by a student.

She said after the assault, school security told her to go to a walk-in clinic, report it to her supervisor and press charges.

The student was expelled, but came back to Central the following year and had a habit of walking past Taylor’s classroom. It made her uncomfortable.

In 2010-11, the latest school year data available, there were 181 assaults on teachers and school employees in Bridgeport and 1,528 assaults in the state, up from 1,308 in 2009-2010.

The number of assaults varies widely among districts. While Hartford had the most assaults with 254, Greenwich had none, according to state records.

But the numbers, say members of the Connecticut Education Association, the state’s largest teacher union, don’t tell the whole story.

Often assaults go unreported. Some teachers are too embarrassed to say they have been hurt by a student. Others are reluc-

CONNECTICUT POST/B.K. ANGELETTI

Security officer Kelly Mason monitors cameras, which provide more than 60 views of the Geraldine W. Johnson School, in Bridgeport, Conn., July 9 In 2010-11, the latest school year data available, there were 181 assaults on teachers and school employees in Bridgeport and 1,528 assaults in the state, up from 1,308 in 2009-2010. tant to get a student in trouble or worry the incident will make it look like they can’t control a class.

And sometimes, teachers say they are dissuaded from reporting assaults by administrators.

Joan Hughes, a union field representative for Greenwich teachers, said in testimony before the state legislature that the number of assaults reported in her district does not accurately reflect the number of times teachers there have been “pushed, shoved, hit, spat upon, punched threatened or subjected to any other form of violent or insubordinate act.”

Often, police are never informed of the incident.

“Even in those cases where teachers do file a complaint with their administrators, it is common for that report not to be forwarded to the police — a direct violation of the law,” said Robin KaplanCho, whose job with the Connecticut Education Association includes advising teachers of their rights and responsibilities.

She and others want to toughen a 1979 law that requires a school principal who receives a written report of an assaulted school employee to file that

report with the local police.

Kaplan-Cho said the law needs teeth so acts of violence in schools are taken seriously. The union wants to fine principals and require that they get training.

But that proposal never got out of the legislature last year because some lawmakers took issue with the size of the proposed penalty, which was between $500 and $2,500.

The senate voted to reduce the proposed fine to $250, but the session ended before the House acted on the amended bill. This past spring, with the focus on major education reform efforts, the bill never got out of committee. The CEA tried without success to get the fine attached to another bill about workplace violence.

The bill was opposed by the state’s Chief Public Defender’s office and Connecticut Conference of Municipalities. Kachina Walsh-Weaver, of CCM, said the group was concerned about who would be liable for paying the fine.

Christine Perra Rapillo, director of the juvenile delinquency defense office, testified that the current law was sufficient.

Joseph Cirasuolo, exec-

utive director of the Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents, said this week that before he could support the measure he would have to know the extent to which teacher assaults are not being reported.

Nobody wants anybody assaulted. Number two, anytime there is an assault, it should be reported. No question about it,” said Cirasuolo.

“But before we come up with a solution, we need to make sure there is a problem.”

Just how often assaults go unreported remains uncertain. What is known is that reported assaults on teachers and other school personnel are on the rise in Connecticut, according to Kaplan-Cho and others.

There were more than 6,400 reported incidents of physical violence against school employees from 2006 through 2010, according to data collected by the State Department of Education. The American Psychological Association called violence against teachers a silent national crisis in a study it released last year.

Using figures from the

Chefs dream up makeovers for school lunches

BY MICHELLE LOCKE Associated Press Everyone has a school lunch horror story, the mystery meat “steaks,” the limp, white bread sandwiches, the dangers lurking in any dish with “surprise” in the title.

But what if people with serious kitchen cred got involved? Could those sad school lunches be turned into happy meals? To find out we invited chefs around the country to tell us what school cafeteria dishes they dreaded most as a kid.

Then we asked how they’d turn those dreadful dishes into tasty treats.

Here are some of their meal makeovers.

PIZZA THE ACTION Quite a few chefs remember getting poor pie.

Damon Hall, chef at MoMo’s, a popular hangout across from AT&T Park in San Francisco, said with the wood-burning oven at MoMos, he can more than banish the ghosts of pizzas past with a pepperoni pie that starts with a freshly made crust and is topped with tomatoes (fresh) and cheese (also fresh), as well as oregano, red pepper flakes and other seasonings to kick up the taste.

GRILL ‘N THRILL Danny Bortnick, executive chef at Firefly in Washington, D.C., used to take a sack lunch made by his mom with a sandwich of American cheese, butter and white bread. Not the most exciting selection.

That was then. This is now.

The sandwich has inspired

a lunch item now on the menu at Firefly the Cadillac Grilled. This grilled cheese is made with Gruyere, cheddar, bechamel sauce and garlic herb butter.

SALISBURY STEAK GETS JAKE Jason Berthold, executive chef and partner in San Francisco’s RN74 restaurant, grew up in Michigan and remembers “many terrible school lunches.” But it was the Salisbury steak that stood out. “I wanted to like it so

badly because it seemed like hamburger covered in gravy, but the taste and texture of everything was completely repulsive,” he said.

For a redo, he’d stay with the original concept, but introduce a few touches to add flavor. And he’d definitely use all fresh ingredients.

His recipe starts with fresh ground beef and adds minced shallots and garlic, a dash of Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, along with egg, fresh thyme

and sage, and salt and pepper. For the gravy, he’d throw in some thinly sliced cremini mushrooms and onions with more fresh herbs and seasonings held together with good beef stock.

The patties would get a quick grilling over high heat to give them a layer of smoky flavor, then would finish cooking while simmering in the gravy. Add mashed potatoes or buttered noodles and boom! one gastronomic nightmare eradicated.

National Center for Educational Statistics, the study found that 253,100 teachers — about seven percent — report being threatened with injury, and 127,500 report being physically attacked in 2003-04.

In 2007-08, according to the NCES, the number threatened had risen to 289,600 and the number attacked rose to 154,400. Reported assaults were more likely in urban districts and in secondary schools, the data showed.

But for every one reported assault, others never surface to the proper authorities.

In some instances, said Lori Rossomando, head of the teachers’ union in Stamford, teachers suppress the incident.

When a kindergartner yanks a teacher to the ground, Rossomando said, the teacher is less likely to want to get the student in trouble, and more likely to be embarrassed and fearful they will be seen as someone who can’t control their class.

But other times they are dissuaded from reporting an assault.

“We know for certain that many teachers are too fearful of retribution to ever file a report of an

assault with their administrator, much less with the local police,” said KaplanCho. Carmella Lorusso, an eighth-grade English teacher at Tisdale School in Bridgeport, said she was assaulted by a student in the 2010-11 school year after more than 25 years of teaching. “I went to the door and there was a security guard. I didn’t see the student behind him until I opened the door. The child pushed his way into the room and ended up hitting me in the shoulder, nearly knocking me down,” said Lorusso, of the middle school student who was taller than she was.

“The concerning part of that was that I was told I shouldn’t call the police and that the child never received punishment,” said Lorusso.

She reported it anyway but the police officer told her they were not going to arrest the child.

“School police said I wasn’t really hurt and I didn’t feel I wanted to go further with it at that point.”

Lorusso said she later learned that the student had a history of harming teachers and other students. He eventually was placed on homebound instruction only.

Lorusso, who is the grievance chair for the Education Bridgeport Association, said on the whole, she thinks most administrators are good about reporting assaults to police, but not always.

“Sometimes it is hit or miss. Some do their own thing. School climate is a big issue and there is some hesitation,” Lorusso said.

Shively Willingham, Bridgeport’s special assistant for Safety, Security & Climate under Interim Schools Superintendent Paul Vallas, said in his experience teacher assaults go underreported.

Willingham served as a principal and then an intervention officer in the Philadelphia school district, where failing to report a teacher assault was a disciplinary offense that could get a Philadelphia principal demoted or fired. He couldn’t say how often a principal was demoted but said one was fired for not reporting an assault.

Museum preserves legacy of Grapes of Wrath Visitors will come away with feel for Steinbeck’s life, times SALINAS, Calif. (AP) — They were the stuff of another America: Tom Joad in “The Grapes of Wrath.” George and Lenny in “Of Mice and Men.” Lee Chong, Doc and the delightfully larcenous Mack and the bums in “Cannery Row.” Danny and Pilon in “Tortilla Flat.” Adam and Cal Trask in “East of Eden.”

Whether you met these classic characters while reading the novels of John Steinbeck or you’re encountering them for the first time, they come to life at the National Steinbeck Center, a sprawling and modernistic museum and study center in Old Town Salinas. It is the largest museum dedicated to a single American writer.

The Nobel- and Pulitzer Prizewinning author, who grew up in Salinas, wrote about many things: migrant workers, labor “agitators,” World War II, the Mexican Revolution, New England, Russia, even Vietnam.

But his most endearing and enduring works centered on the people and places he knew best, from the coast and farmland of the Salinas Valley between San Francisco and Los Angeles.

The center opened in 1998 as a library and research facility and place to store and display Steinbeck memorabilia. While Steinbeck scholars can meet here to discuss his work and life, its 30,000 annual visitors also include ordinary fans and other visitors curious about his work and life. The area around Salinas is scenic and popular among tourists, with Monterey County wineries, the Pacific Coast and other attractions nearby. Big Sur, which has connections to literary figures like Henry Miller, Jack Kerouac and poet Robinson Jeffers among others, is 50 miles away.

Even those who don’t know much about Steinbeck’s work will come away from a visit to the center with a sense of his life and times. Curators have blended the work of artists, photographers and historians to bring back the atmosphere of the places he described, set mostly between the World Wars.

Here are the migrant labor camps; the louse-ridden bunkhouses of the migrant “bindle-stiffs” (as hobos were called); Lee Chong’s grocery; and

The house, which is now a restaurant, is located near the National Steinbeck Center, a museum dedicated to preserving Steinbeck’s legacy. the entrance to the Bear Flag Restaurant, which was the name of “Cannery Row”’s “stern and stately whorehouse,” which Steinbeck described as a clean, one-price joint presided over by its formidable yet soft-touch madam, Dora Flood.

Here is Ed Ricketts, “Doc’” in “Cannery Row,” the eccentric operator of a marine biological lab, who was a character in the book but also a real person and close friend of Steinbeck’s.

Some incidents in his writings were also based on real events, such as the failed 1916 attempt to refrigerate lettuce in rail cars to bring the produce to Eastern markets, depicted in “East of Eden.”

And Steinbeck’s mastery of the vernacular, an ability to write the way people then talked, in a beautifully unrefined manner, can be traced not just to his observations of speech but to input from a mentor, Tom Collins, an anthropologist who researched speech patterns and customs, according to museum archivist Herb Behrens.

Japanese Garden at Huntington Library renovated for centennial SAN MARINO, Calif. (AP) — With ponds of koi fish, a newly installed ceremonial teahouse and sloping bridge, the reopened Japanese Garden at the Huntington Library in San Marino is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year after an extensive, yearlong renovation.

The nine-acre garden, closed for a full year, cost $6.8 million to restore and improve. Not only beautifully landscaped, it’s also dazzlingly multi-layered, set off to the edge of the sprawling 207-acre Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens, with Southern California’s San Gabriel Mountains looming in the distance.

“The Japanese Garden has been one of our most popular attractions for a century, so our intention wasn’t to change the things that made it so well loved but to restore it to its original beauty,” said Huntington Library spokeswoman Lisa Blackburn.

Paths curve up and down through a bamboo forest, past a raked-gravel dry garden, a bonsai court lined with pruned, delicate miniature trees and a display of large, smooth black viewing stones.

Huntington bought a tea house in Pasadena owned by George Turner Marsh, an antiques dealer who also created the popular tea garden in Golden Gate Park, and rebuilt it in San Marino. The acquisitions from Marsh included the stream-

lined, square, upper-class Japanese House, parts of which were actually created in Japan, and then shipped to California.

Post-World War II, amid staffing shortages and political discontent, the Japanese Garden became sorely neglected, with areas shut off to the public, according to the Huntington. Damage included rotted wood, termite infestation and shifting soil. Various partial

renovations over the years led to the yearlong mass restoration and improvement effort starting in April 2011. Landscape architects Takeo Uesugi and his son, Keiji Uesugi, oversaw the Japanese Garden project’s design.

Now the grounds feel lush, densely green and joyous.

The centrally located, perfectly arched moon bridge, for years painted red, until 1992, when it

was stripped to its natural wood, sits below the Japanese House. The new ceremonial teahouse, named Seifu-an (“Arbor of Pure Breeze”), flanks a new ceremonial tea garden. The Pasadena Buddhist Temple donated the small teahouse to the Huntington in 2010. It was built in Kyoto in 1964, disassembled at the Pasadena temple, shipped back to Kyoto, renovated there, and shipped back to the Huntington in May 2011.

“New features like the ceremonial teahouse and tea garden serve as added enhancements that allow visitors to explore the unique landscape and cultural traditions of Japan even more deeply,” said Blackburn.

FILM REVIEW

Suburbia under sci-fi siege in ‘The Watch’

BY JAKE COYLE AP Book Reviewer Suburban paranoia can be as funny as it can be dangerous.

But in “The Watch,” which was renamed from “Neighborhood Watch” to distance itself from the Treyvon Martin killing in Florida, the threat to an ordered Ohio town isn’t anything with contemporary resonance. It’s just aliens.

That’s the disappointing basis of “The Watch,” which unfolds not in a way that might have anything funny or enlightening to say about picket-fence fearfulness, but simply with conventional summer movie bombast.

Evan Troutwig (Ben Stiller) is as devoted to Glenville, Ohio, as Max Fischer was to Rushmore Academy. Though he and his wife (an underused Rosemarie DeWitt) are trying to have a kid, he puts most of his energy into the town through various community groups and his senior management position at Costco.

This is a particularly earnest Ben Stiller: “I don’t have any black friends yet, but I am on the market,” he says. But Evan’s enthusiasm is shattered when a friend and Costco security guard (Joseph A. Nunez) is mysteriously mauled overnight.

When Evan makes neighborhood safety his new cause (his sweatshirt: “No More Murders”), his rally for support draws derision and only three volunteers.

They’re a motley lot: Bob, a father of a teenager looking for a guy’s night out (Vince Vaughn); Franklin, a police department-reject with a buzz cut and switchblade (Jonah Hill); and Jamarcus, a divorced, afroed Brit (the wry, poised Richard Ayoade, who directed the promising “Submarine” and nearly steals the movie).

At this point, Vaughn (“Wedding Crashers,” ”Old School”) can claim suburbia to be his domain. No one better typifies the man-cave father, the 9-to-5er, the frat boy with a family.

Vaughn’s family man isn’t without parody (he introduces himself as “Bob with ‘B,’” chuckling mildly) but he’s undiminished by adulthood’s trappings, full of crazy-eyed brio and the manic positivity to, as he does in “The Watch,” design neighborhood watch jackets for the gang with a flaming, winged tiger icon.

Some will say the act is old, but Vaughn could do this as long as John Wayne played a cowboy, as far as I’m concerned.

Watching him marvel at each layer of a Russian nesting doll, as he does here, is nearly worth the price of admission.

The crew is slow to develop, harassed by dismissive cops (a funny Will Forte) and egg-throwing high-schoolers. But they make some headway and eventually crack open the case: Aliens are invading Glenville.

Action and comedy are nearly always strange bedfellows, and “The Watch” is no exception.

Introducing extraterrestrials puts the story on a familiar trajectory of chases and explosions

filled with mock-tough guy slow motion. At this point, Jonah Hill pointing in slo-mo is getting a little tiresome.

“The Watch” was originally drafted by Jared Stern to be a younger, PG-13 movie with Shawn Levy (“Night at the Museum”) directing, but that changed when Seth Rogan, Evan Goldberg and Justin Theroux rewrote it. Their raunchier tone has an almost paint-by-numbers feeling to it now, after better films like “Superbad” and “Pineapple Express.” Though many of the jokes land, some of them feel like a game of penisrelated Mad Libs.

Directing is Akiva Schaffer, one third of the Lonely Island trio (Schaffer, Andy Samberg and Jorma Taccone make a quick cameo) and a “Saturday Night Live” writer famous for the popular digital shorts. This is his second feature after 2007’s “Hot Rod,” and while he clearly has the ability to pull funny out of his cast, he doesn’t here show any visual and narrative distinction that separates

him from the growing pack of comedy directors.

His most interesting choice is to make the aliens far more fearsome and detailed than a comedy would normally accommodate. Contortionist Doug Jones (“Pan’s Labyrinth,” ”Hellboy”) plays the alien, a scifi realism that makes a few jokes funnier but ultimately highlight’s the film’s incongruities. (Better is the suspected alien, a creepy Billy Crudup.)

The mission of the neighborhood watch gang stresses their budding friendships, pulling them apart before pushing them back together. Or was that the plot of “21 Jump Street”? Maybe it was “Get Him to the Greek”? Hold on, could it have been “Paul”?

“The Watch,” a 20th Century Fox release, is rated R for some strong sexual content including references, pervasive language and violent images. Running time: 102 minutes. Two stars out of four.

BOOK REVIEW SUNDAY CROSSWORD

THE COST OF LOVING

ACROSS

AP PHOTO/DOUBLEDAY

This book cover image released by Doubleday shows “The Sandcastle Girls,” by Chris Bohjalian.

Bohjalian does it again

BY KIM CURTIS AP Book Reviewer “The Sandcastle Girls” (Doubleday), by Chris Bohjalian: It takes a talented novelist to combine fully ripened characters, an engrossing storyline, exquisite prose and set it against a horrific historical backdrop in this case, the Armenian genocide and completely enchant readers.

The prolific and captivating Chris Bohjalian has done it all again with his 15th book, “The Sandcastle Girls.”

Readers will recognize the author from his bestselling “Midwives,” which caught Oprah Winfrey’s attention in 1998. This time, it’s 1915 and, again, his protagonist is a feisty woman, Elizabeth Endicott, a 21-year-old graduate of Mount Holyoke who shatters stereotypes by traveling to Syria to deliver food and aid to refugees of the genocide.

And, again, Bohjalian shifts his novel back and forth in time to simultaneously tell the story of Laura Petrosian, an ArmenianAmerican writer living in New York. It never feels clunky or tough to follow.

It’s worth noting that even though Bohjalian is a man, his ability to successfully inhabit the female mind and accurately depict his characters’ inner lives is amazing.

“The Sandcastle Girls,” while perhaps not the “beachy” read its title implies, is a fascinating journey through time and history. It also educates readers about a littleknown, but significant period in history “How do a million and a half people die with nobody knowing,” his author-character writes.

“You kill them in the middle of nowhere.”

BOOK REVIEW

Autonomous drones attack in ‘Kill Decision’ he rescues scientist Linda McKinney following a lab explosion. Someone has followed her studies into the social interactions of weaver ants and incorporated that methodology into a new autonomous drone. Scientists lose both data and their lives, and suddenly the United States becomes a war zone as people around the country witness targeted mis-

sile attacks.

Nobody knows when the next explosion will occur, or what other computers with top-secret research will be compromised.

McKinney and Odin take the call to action to stop the threat without the help of technology, since their equipment can track and kill them.

“Kill Decision” reads like a Michael Crichton

thriller, showcasing the science we use today and creating a future that could become reality.

However, a section highlighting some of the more difficult scientific terms and acronyms scattered throughout the novel and further discussing the ramifications of the concepts that “Kill Decision” explores would have been helpful.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Carla Waller believes in promises. She was married for 37 years, held one job for 35 and never adopted a pet she didn’t keep for life. Until now.

Waller and her husband Dennis moved to Las Vegas in 2006 and put $100,000 down on a $330,000 home.

They adopted Jake, a 3-yearold, lean, shy Cocker spaniel. They both sold furniture on commission and thought they were set for retirement and beyond.

Dennis was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2008 and died in 2009. Carla stayed home to care for him, but returned to work to make ends meet. She adopted Marilyn Monroe, a schnauzer-collie, to keep Jake company. A friend added Jewels the cat to the mix.

The recession stripped her home of a third of its value. Then health problems left her unable to work.

Foreclosure is just around the corner, said Waller, 67. “I know I’m a couple of months out. I can’t do it anymore. I don’t have the income,” she said. “I’m done.

There is nothing I can do now.”

The hardest call she had to make was to Foreclosed Upon Pets, Inc., to arrange for homes for Jake, Marilyn and Jewels so she can move in with relatives.

“I am very depressed about it and very concerned about where they go because I took them for life and life is not what it should be,” she said.

Waller’s story is all too familiar to Everett Croxson, who founded Las Vegasbased FUPI (rhymes with puppy) in 2008.

Croxson, 59, a retired business consultant, was guided by hometown headlines. Nevada had the worst foreclosure rate nationally for 62 months until March, and has the highest unemployment rate in the nation at 11.6 percent.

The Animal Foundation in Las Vegas runs the highest volume single-facility shelter in the country. It takes in close to 50,000 animals a year. Nearly twothirds have to be euthanized.

In 2009, Croxson bought a five-bedroom home to use as a transition house for the pets. FUPI placed 348 pets that year. In 2010, it was nearly 500; in 2011, 570; and this year it will be more than 600, Croxson said.

FUPI also works with the unemployed and those too ill or old to handle their pets, but about 30 percent of their pets are foreclosures, Croxson said.

“Real estate agents or cleaning crews call all the time. Maybe they have found a couple of cats in a closet of a foreclosed home,” he said.

In Arizona, which bumped Nevada from the top of the foreclosure rankings in March, the Lost Our Home Pet Foundation in Phoenix does similar work.

Founded in 2008, it also relies primarily on fosters although it did open a small shelter in April.

• Continued from B1 Anderson Americana does not have a retail store front, instead doing all of its business either over the Internet or through four annual auctions, which are conducted over the telephone and Internet.

Anderson, who has a Cox-Roosevelt pin in his personal collection — it’s

valued at somewhere between $30,000-$40,000 — describes it as the “Honus Wagner (baseball card) of political memoribilia.” The pin — which is smaller than a dime — is kept in a bank safe-deposit box, along with all of Anderson Americana’s memorabilia.

Both Anderson and Lindeman always are on the lookout for new

items to add to the Anderson Americana collection.

“We find it wherever we can,” Lindeman said. “We also get a lot of stuff on consignment. When you find a really rare item, it’s like Christmas morning.”

MORTGAGE WATCH

Mortgage rates fall again to new low WASHINGTON (AP) — The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage fell again, this time dropping below 3.50 percent for the first time on records dating back 60 years.

Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the rate on the 30-year loan declined to 3.49 percent. That’s down from 3.53 percent last week and the lowest since long-term mortgages began in the 1950s.

The average rate on the 15-year fixed mortgage, a popular refinancing option, dipped to 2.80 percent. That’s below last week’s previous record of 2.83 percent.

The rate on the 30-year loan has fallen to or matched record-low levels in 13 of the past 14 weeks.

Cheaper mortgages have helped drive a modest but uneven housing recovery this year.

Sales of new and previously occupied homes fell in June but were higher than the same month last year. Home prices have started to stabilize in many large markets. And builders are more confident and are putting up more houses than they have in nearly four years.

Fewer Americans signed contracts to buy homes in June, the National Association of Realtors said in a separate report Thursday. The group’s index of sales agreements fell to 99.3, down from May’s reading of 100.7.

A reading of 100 is considered healthy. The index is 9.5 percent higher than it was a year ago.

There’s generally a one- to two-month lag between a signed contract and a completed deal.

Low mortgage rates could also provide some help to the economy if more people refinance.

When people refinance at lower rates, they pay less interest on their loans and have more money to spend.

Still, the pace of home sales remains well below healthy levels. Many people are still having difficulty qualifying for home loans or can’t afford larger down payments required by banks.

The sluggish job market could deter some from making a purchase this year. U.S. employers added only 80,000 jobs in June, a third straight month of weak hiring. The unemployment rate was unchanged at 8.2 percent, the government reported last week. Slower job creation has caused consumers to pull back on spending.

HOUSE HUNTING

Sell now or hold out for a higher price?

In some markets, economic conditions hint at sustained housing recovery

BY ROSEMARY SADEZ FRIEDMANN Scripps Howard News Service Are you in the market for state-of-the-art, high-tech kitchen appliances? OK, so even if you’re not, this might still be of interest even if just out of curiosity. Let’s check it out.

Restaurant-style cooking ranges include many things.

They are usually combinations of gas burners, griddle, a wok

burner plus a fryer and/or a steamer. Above all this there is a full-length hood providing maximum ventilation. Oh, and don’t forget the pasta filler on the wall. But wait. You don’t have to own a restaurant to get all this. You can have it all in your own home if you choose.

What if you don’t want all of that but do want some of it? All major appliance companies now offer 15- to 24-inch cooking modules that fit into your countertop so you can pick the cook

tops you want. There is even a steamer oven that can be built into the wall like a regular oven. Of course, if you still want it all, you can include a prep station and a computer station in your ideal kitchen.

Tall walls are popular these days. A tall wall is one that houses stacked appliances such as a double oven plus a warming drawer or a double oven

Dian Hymer For the Miami Valley Sunday News Washington, D.C., area; Miami; Naples, Fla.; North Dakota; Orange County, Calif.; and Seattle, stronger price increases are expected.

Leslie Appleton-Young, chief economist of the California Association of Realtors (CAR), predicted at the end of last year that inventory would pick up in 2012 as homeowners who have been waiting for a better time to sell would decide to wait no longer. The recent good news has many prospective sellers giving this sales strategy a second thought.

Would they be better off financially if they waited a couple of years for a stronger rebound and possibly a higher sale price?

HOUSE HUNTING TIP: Keep in mind that two months of improved home sales and median price increases does not indicate a trend. We need to see many more months of improvements before we can say with confidence that the tide has turned and the housing

Recent news suggests that the housing market might be moving in the right direction. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), existing-home sales rose 3.4 percent in April compared to March and were 10 percent higher than a year ago.

The inventory of homes for sale increased 9.5 percent at the end of April to a 6.6-month supply, up from a 6.2-month supply in March.

A year ago, there was a 9.1-month supply of inventory solidly in a buyer’s market range. Nationally, homes listed for sale in April were 20.6 percent below a year ago, approaching a balanced market that gives neither buyer nor seller a decided advantage.

NAR reported that the national median home price jumped 10.1 percent in April from a year ago, following a 3.1 annual improvement in March. This is the first time we’ve had back-to-back median home price increases since June and July of 2010. Median home sale and price improvements were seen across all regions.

Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist, believes the housing recovery is under way. He expects modest price gains nationally in the 1 to 2 percent range this year, “with stronger improvement in 2013.” However, he notes that in areas of tight supply like the

sofas in outdoor fabric.

3. Don’t even think about getting a sofa that you wouldn’t want to sleep on.

Many nights, when I’m unable to sleep, I come down to read on the sofa and fall right to sleep in its sink-intocomfy softness. It’s essential that your sofa be that comfortable.

You’ll never know if a prospective sofa is just right for you unless you sit in it like you would at home. Get in your normal lounging position and see what you think.

When I’m helping a couple select a sofa, I often find that what fits the wife doesn’t necessarily fit the husband. So I do a little detective work.

Where does each of them tend to sit? Does he gravitate toward a big easy chair, while she likes to curl up on the sofa? Whoever typically sits on the sofa should have the deciding vote when it comes to fit.

4. Don’t buy a sofa that

doesn’t fit your room.

First, determine where the sofa will be located and pinpoint any special considerations. For example, if the sofa will be in front of a large window, you may want one with a low back so it doesn’t block the view. If the window lets in lots of light, consider getting a light colored fabric that won’t fade.

Next, determine the size of sofa that will best fit the scale of the room. Is the room big and lofty, full of large furnishings? Or is it a cozy spot? I recommend making a scale drawing of the room so you can pick a sofa that’s not too big or too little.

5. Don’t take a sofa at face value — give it character with accent pillows.

Think of your sofa as a backdrop for the sensational accent pillows that will give it style and character. Pillows are the spice of life in your living room, so have fun designing a grouping that plays up your new sofa and finishes the look of the room. You can change them seasonally.

Deadhead perennials to enjoy a second bloom

BY JOE LAMP’L Scripps Howard News Service There’s nothing more rewarding to a gardener than watching a garden come to life after a long winter. But as the summer progresses, many of those wonderful blooming plants start to look a little worse for the wear. A lot of that worn look comes from spent flowers going to seed. The cure is deadheading.

Besides cleaning up a ratty appearance, deadheading keeps some perennials from reseeding all over the place. For example, garden phlox (Phlox paniculata hybrids) doesn’t breed true, so the seeds from the cultivar you planted will look different from its parent plant, and could crowd it out altogether. By removing spent blossoms before they set

seed, you can also prolong bloom time or even stimulate a second blooming in some perennials.

Preventing seeds from ripening also keeps the plant stronger and healthier.

How you deadhead depends on the plant and the reason you’re cutting it back. Plants with individual flowers, like hollyhocks (Malva sylvestris), Zones 4-8, or balloon flowers (Platycodon grandiflorus), Zones 3-8, bloom for weeks. But the older flowers wither as new ones open, leaving exhausted blossoms along the stem. Snip off each pod as it fades. The plant will bloom longer and the later flowers will be nearly as large as the early ones. After the stems are finished, cut them to a low mound of foliage or all the way to the ground.

Clustered flowers on branched stems, like bee balm (Monarda didyma), Zones 4-9, and Shasta daisies (Leucanthemum x superbum), Zones 5-9, need a little more snipping to keep them blooming and to prevent reseeding. Seeds can ripen early and drop before the whole cluster turns brown, so as soon as the main panicle withers, cut it back to a side shoot. These side shoots will then start to mature and prolong the plant’s flowering time.

Perennials that produce blooms over the entire plant, such as threadleaf coreopsis (Coreopsis rosea), Zones 4-8, and garden phlox (Phlox paniculata), Zones 4-8, need to be sheared. As soon as the majority of flowers fade, snip them off so you won’t be looking at blankets of brown

all summer. If there is a goodlooking mound or rosette of foliage under the flowers, leave it and remove only the spent flowers with scissors or sharp bypass pruners. Hedge shears will do fine if you’re cutting all the way back to the ground. The plant will be back with a neat mound of foliage, and maybe even some late-season flowers, in a few weeks.

Here are a few more reblooming perennials that will benefit from deadheading.

Purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea). Full sun; Zones 3-9. A reliable rebloomer, even without deadheading; cut early blooms to a side shoot to keep later flowers large.

Blanket flower (Gaillardia x grandiflora). Full sun; Zones 311. Snip off individual flowers

below the seed head; stop deadheading in August.

Perennial geranium (Geranium spp.). Full sun; Zones 5-9. Gently pull spent flowers and their long stems by hand without uprooting the main plant.

Bleeding heart (Dicentra spectabilis). Part sun to shade; Zones 3-9. Cut spent flowers and stems off at base of plant.

Painted daisy (Tanacetum coccineum). Full sun; Zones 4-9.

Snip off individual flowers along the stem as they fade; cut finished stem back to basal foliage.

There can be some sporadic reblooming.

Perennials return season after season, but with deadheading, you can also encourage many to make an encore flowering later in the same season.

The treehouse created by Horace Burgess contains many balconies and staircases and a chapel.

Burgess says he built the treehouse after receiving a calling from God.

Lord, what a treehouse!

Man builds towering structure over 19 years

BY AMY MCRARY Scripps Howard News Service CROSSVILLE, Tenn. — Horace Burgess didn’t need blueprints to build a 10-story, 14,000plus-square-foot treehouse that towers over surrounding oaks and that thousands of people flock to each year. God was his architect.

The Lord supplied the design to the builder and the wood from old barns, weathered buildings or scrap construction bits.

Burgess supplied the nails, the sweat and the faith.

The collaboration is a massive structure rising up to 100 feet into the Tennessee sky. Formally called “The Treehouse The Way,” the 19-year, still-unfinished project includes winding stairs, a bell tower and a rambling maze of rooms and corners. Its center is a light-filled sanctuary that’s both chapel and basketball court.

Thousands from as far as Australia have visited the structure at the end of graveled Beehive Lane on the edge of Crossville. They come at their own risk; this isn’t an amusement and offers no safety precautions. They see what could be, as Burgess says, “the world’s largest treehouse.” That designation could become official: blueprints are being drawn of the treehouse to submit to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Visitors often arrive after hearing about the curiosity from friends or seeing a mention on the Internet. “People can come to

a place where there’s no alcohol, no drugs and no violence,” says Marijo Templeton. A lifelong friend of Burgess, she’s The Treehouse’s business manager.

The property is open yearround from daylight to dusk. “I never did have to ask people to come to it. I guess that’s just God blessing it,” says Burgess, a 61year-old landscape architect.

What visitors first see is the treehouse’s 97-foot-tall tower, which resembles something from a rustic amusement park. What tourists can mistake for a crow’s nest atop the turret is a giant wooden crown of thorns.

The tower’s a people magnet; young and old climb its 98 steps.

At its top the bastion sways with wind gusts. From this perch visitors overlook a garden where flowers and grass spell “JESUS.” Where else, says Burgess, can a person climb to the sky and see Jesus in the garden? “One night, it was real dark and there was no moon … I tilled that out with just one light on my tractor.”

From the tower, more agile, fearless visitors scale a short ladder into its belfry. Their reward is to ring bells Burgess made by cutting the bottom from heavy oxygen acetylene bottles.

All visitors tour for free.

Those who wish can drop money in a covered donation bin. This year Burgess began selling souvenir T-shirts and baseball caps.

He estimates he spent $14,000 building the structure, but says he quit counting after a while.

Through the years tourists have used pocket knives or felttipped pens to carve or write names, doodle drawings or pen tributes to loved ones in the treehouse planks. In some spots the graffiti is so thick it nearly forms a layer of black paint over the raw planks. Burgess decided not to mind if people mark his work; he’s even contemplating selling felt-tipped pens. “I have to pinch myself and say, ‘It’s a treehouse.

That’s what you did when you were a kid — carved your name on the wall.’” He polices the messages, cleaning off offensive words.

More serious are past thefts and vandalism. Thieves stole electrical wiring; vandals smashed windows and broke doors. Now the property gate is locked after hours; volunteers stay the night to secure the treehouse.

Though he and wife Julia live “in a normal house in town,” Burgess spends many hours each week at his creation. The couple has been married 22 years. For their 11th anniversary, he built her a penthouse in the treehouse. Sometimes, he says, Julia “feels like Noah’s wife” with the time he devotes the treehouse. “But I feel like with everyone I talk to, I’m doing God’s work.”

Burgess has shared how he came to build a treehouse for God to visitors from Germany and Florida, to news crews from Paris to Australia. This wasn’t his first treehouse, and it didn’t

Hayley Rollins, 11, looks out from a balcony in the treehouse created by Horace Burgess. begin belonging to God. Years earlier he was a partying Vietnam vet who built a treehouse on a different spot of land.

He lived in that 2,200-squarefoot “party house” but later burned it down. “I was trying to change my life over to what God wanted me to do. He’d called me to be a preacher. But I didn’t like preachers so I wasn’t going to be one. I thought I could outrun God. But he runs fast.”

God’s voice, he says, told him to burn that structure. “He wanted it gone.” Burgess says he withdrew from society, living as a “hermit” for 18 months. Then he met Julia. “If I hadn’t met her, I’d never have made it.”

He built a second treehouse in the subdivision where the couple then lived. When some neighbors complained, he demolished the structure and hauled the lumber to 139 acres he’d bought near Crossville. “I was mad and decided I was going to build the world’s last treehouse.”

Then 43, he had salvaged enough wood to wind stairs three stories up an 80-foot-tall, 12-foot-diameter white oak. That was all he built for a year and half. In that time, he says, “I quit running completely from God.” One day he climbed his “staircase to nowhere,” sat on a long tree limb and prayed. “I was

praying for everything but a treehouse. But the spirit of God said, ‘If you build me a treehouse, I’ll never let you run out of material.’ I agreed. It’s been a work in progress for almost 20 years.”

Two weeks later, after more prayer, he said, Burgess got a vision of what God’s treehouse should be. The revelation included a water cistern and filtering system, electricity, a heating system and an elevator. None of that’s yet built. “It’s still all in my head. So my head’s still cluttered.”

He began building for God. His materials consisted of reclaimed wood, doors and windows. “People would say, ‘You come over here and clean this mess up, you can have it.’ ” It took 11 years before he recycled metal onto the roof. That’s why some floors tilt slightly like a carnival fun house. “I had to angle them a little so the water could run off and it wouldn’t rot before I could dry it in.”

Many people helped, but Burgess built the design out of his head. “I was the only one that knew how I wanted it to look. So I had to put it all in place and nail it myself.” He shot 258,000 nails with a nail gun and hand-hammered another 530 pounds of nails.
