County wrestles with overcrowding

COMING SUNDAY

Officials discuss jail options BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com Several county officials met recently to discuss the costs of renovating the Incarceration Facility on County Road 25-A to address overcrowding at the Miami County

Jail. For the past few months, Miami County Sheriff Charles Cox, Chief Deputy Dave Duchak, Lt. Dave Norman and County Commissioner Dick Cultice have been working together on plans to reopen two pods at the facility, providing 120 beds.

MIAMI COUNTY The population at the downtown jail currently hovers around 115. Under state standards, the number of inmates must fall to 55. “We know this is a public safety and officer safety issue,” Duchak said. “This has been a very difficult problem for judges, officers and probation officers to deal with the

last few months.” He added, “This isn’t just like flipping a switch. To do it right, we need six months or so turnaround before it will be functional.” Cultice has proposed renting 20 of the 120 beds at the Incarceration Facility to the U.S. Marshals Service or other counties. At $65 per bed, the county

Labor Day still a workday Labor Day typically marks a time of rest and relaxation. Unless, of course, you’re one of the few scheduled to work. For UDF employees, working at a store open 365 days a year certainly entails working a few holidays, including Labor Day. “We’re open 365 days a year, even Christmas. We’re only closed when the electricity goes out,” said Jodelle Johnson, 31, of Troy, who volunteered to work Labor Day for the time and a half pay. She’s also worked Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Easter at the Race Street location. Coming Sunday in Valley, in the Miami Valley Sunday News.

New director looking to re-energize Rec BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com

ne can’t help but feed off the energy of the Troy Rec Center’s new director Nicole Hanes. The 27-year-old recently was tapped as the new director of the Troy landmark for students who stop in after school to play, work on homework or “chill” before a parent picks them up or they walk on home. “It’s awesome to see how many kids need a place, a quiet place to do homework or to do a puzzle or play a game of pool and just be a kid,” Hanes said. Hanes, a health and physical education graduate of Wright State University, said what she loves about The Rec is that the students who come in the doors “want to be there and be somewhere — they aren’t just a number.” “When the kids are here, they want to be with other kids, to hang out and feel like they are a part of

something,” Hanes said. Hanes began an interim position at The Rec June 1, which morphed in to the full-time Rec director when she was hired by the Troy Rec Board in mid-August. It was a summer day trip to Kings Island with a group of 12 kids — many who had never been to the amusement park before — that sealed the deal for Hanes when she saw the look of excitement on their faces during the trip. “I want to help create opportunities for kids that they would not get anywhere else — to see their faces just light up when they’ve never done something or been somewhere before — that is what I love,” Hanes said. “I had a girl tell me while we were (at Kings Island) that ‘This is the best day of my life.’ Wow! Does it get much better than that?’” After that kind of feedback, Hanes was sold on the opportunity to take on The Rec as its director and make each day at The Rec as warm and as inviting as possible.

“We want them all to come together and meet new people, which is easy to do in large schools and a large community,” Hanes said. Hanes also enjoys being in contact with all the local school districts including Van Cleve Sixth Grade through the Troy High School, as well as St. Patrick Catholic School and Troy Christian. “This is a place to release and this is a place which provides a safe place to go and not be out on the streets,” Hanes said. Hanes recalls a recent story of how two junior high students met for the first time at The Rec, despite being from the same class in school and working together on homework earlier in the week. “It’s like all the barriers are broken down here at The Rec,” Hanes said. “They may not be friends or hang out at school, but here, they are working together, building relationships on their own and that’s just awesome to see.” Hanes said The Rec dropped its • See DIRECTOR on 2

CINCINNATI (AP) — Neil Armstrong was a humble hero who saw himself as a team player and never capitalized on his celebrity as the first man to walk on the moon, mourners said Friday outside a private service attended by fellow space pioneers, including his two crewmates on the historic Apollo 11 mission. Hundreds of people attended a closed service for Armstrong Friday at a private club in ARMSTRONG suburban Cincinnati. A national memorial service has been scheduled for Sept. 12 in Washington, although no other details have been released on the service or burial plans for Armstrong. He died Saturday at age 82. Among some 10 former astronauts attending Friday were John Glenn and Armstrong’s crew for the 1969 moon landing, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. “You’ll never get a hero, in my view, like Neil Armstrong,” said Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders, who praised Armstrong after the service for his wisdom and humility in the way he handled becoming a global icon. “It’s going to be hard to top.” “America has truly lost a legend,” said Eugene Cernan, an Apollo astronaut who is the last man to have walked on the moon. Sen. Rob Portman, an Ohio Republican, eulogized Armstrong “as a reluctant hero” and said afterward the service was a mix of emotion and humor, with

MIAMI COUNTY helicopter to spot marijuana. Marijuana was spotted on the property of 9477 N. Montgomery County Line Road, which is within Miami County. Brian E. Wood, 28, of Phillipsburg, was taken into custody without incident and was charged with possession of criminal tools, cultivating marijuana and child endangering, and is

still being held at the Miami County jail. Wood resides at the residence with his fiancée and 5year-old child. The child endangering charge stems from loaded firearms and narcotics being located throughout the residence and accessible to the child. Detectives also have made a referral to Miami County Children’s Services regarding the 5-year-old child, but is staying with relatives. Detectives will confer with

the Miami County prosecutor’s office regarding potential charges against the adult female occupant. Detectives applied for and secured a search warrant to search the grounds, outbuildings and residence. Approximately 100 marijuana plants were found growing outside the residence and a substantial amount of marijuana was found within the residence and outbuilding. The marijuana was in the process of being dried

out. Additionally, detectives seized three handguns and two rifles. One of the rifles was an assault rifle with a 50-round magazine. One of the pistols was a 9mm machine pistol with silencer. Grow lights, drug paraphernalia and approximately $2,000 in cash also were seized. The R.A.N.G.E. task force law enforcement officers are from area counties to include Miami County detectives.

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW.TDN-NET.COM

Now comes Obama’s turn or even voting for one in the states that allow early balloting. The political buzz followed Romney, hours after a convention speech in which he introduced himself to America and asked on-thefence voters to let go of a president who “has disappointed America.” A rambling, surprising and strange appearance by movie legend Clint Eastwood at the GOP event still had people talking, too. But attention was shifting to Obama, the incumbent who gets the last shot at making a lasting impression before the October debates. His party’s national convention, which starts Tuesday in Charlotte, N.C., will dwell less on how life is now and more on where voters want their lives to be. Obama inherited an economy in the midst of a monster recession, and the pace of the stable, sluggish recovery is perhaps Obama’s greatest burden to re-election.

The coming days, capped by Obama’s speech on Thursday night, will crystalize his re-election pitch: An economy built on ending tax cuts for the rich and putting more effort into education, energy, tax reform and debt reduction. He will call Romney a peddler of failed trickle-down ideas that will hurt the middle class and the needy. Building by the day, the convention roll-in for Obama will take him through the battleground states of Iowa, Colorado, Ohio and Virginia. At the event itself, first lady Michelle Obama will command the stage one night, followed the next by Bill Clinton, who will ask voters to remember the good times and pledge Obama can return them. To put a face on the election message, Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will be joined on political stops by what their campaign calls “American Heroes.,” The Democratic

care about and come to do what they do.” Hanes said she and Rec representatives have been working closely with the Miami County Ohio State University extension office to offer new and innovative programs for the whole community. Hanes said she hopes to work on new events to bring back the high school population and create a teen advisory board to come up with new and fun ideas from the teens themselves. “They are so active and have so many ideas — their ideas just bounce,” Hanes said. “We are hoping to change things up a bit and have a new image will help spark that and make it cool.” Hanes hopes to pull together a diverse group of

students to help create their own programs based on their interests with a Youth Advisory Board. “It’ll be very broad,” she said. “We’ll get junior high and high school feedback and get that going and use their ideas and go from there.” From zombies to music to even a possible roller skating party in the basement, Hanes isn’t afraid to try new and different things to drum up a renewed interest in the teen hangout. “Every two weeks their interests change so we’ll roll with that,” Hanes said. “This is there place and it needs to feel that way.” Hanes said many programs, such as after-football-game dances, will be revamped as well as sepa-

rating events for “tweens” in junior high and others focusing on high school interests. Hanes was inspired by the collaborative effort of the Hayner Center, Lincoln Center and the Troy-Miami County Library’s Summer Jam, and hopes to expand it. “This is such a tight community that supports all kinds of events,” Hanes said. “I couldn’t believe the great turnout we had here at The Rec, even with The Rec being the rain location — still more than 125 people showed up to support them and that’s just amazing to have.” Nicole and her husband Shawn live in St. Paris with their two children, 1year-old Brycen and 6year-old Cayden.

would opt for the family plan. • $160,566 in one-time costs including computers, hardware, renovations and training • $244,000 in utilities, based on the 2009 figure.

Duchak said this could fall to $150,000, however, because it would be for only a portion of the entire facility. • $352,990 in medical contracts, for both the downtown and reopening two pods of the County Road 25-A facility. • $303,315 for food service, also for both facilities. Jail officials have looked into cost-saving measures

such as serving cold breakfast. • $17,111 in office and cleaning supplies. Many of the estimates are likely considerably higher than the actual expenses, Duchak said. “Through commissary funds, we do recoup some money,” he said. “We’re looking at the worse-case scenario.”

Tight campaign at a pivot FORT BLISS, Texas (AP) — His convention turn coming fast, President Barack Obama on Friday began sprinting toward one of his last, best shots to win over voters, ready to promise better days even for those who do not feel better off. Rival Mitt Romney, flush with confidence after his party’s convention, declared: “We love this country and we’re taking it back.” Both angling for the aura of leadership, Romney swooped in on rain-drenched Louisiana, while Obama stood with troops in Texas and reminded the nation that he ended the war in Iraq. Obama, too, will visit storm-battered Louisiana on Monday, a move the White House said was decided before Romney revealed his plans. The race for the White House suddenly felt more urgent, a final heated day of August giving way to a twomonth stretch in which many voters will get serious about making their choices

In the town of Jean Lafitte, Romney’s motorcade plowed through water that at some points was a foot or deeper, passing flooded homes, lawns and businesses. Residents stood in the water and watched the presidential candidate’s caravan pass. Romney spoke with Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and explained that he had come down to listen, learn, lure some media coverage and make sure “the people around the country know that people down here need help.” For Obama, it was a day of official events, not campaigning, although with 67 days to go until Election Day there is little distinction. Surrounded by troops in camouflage, he appeared as commander in chief more than candidate, announcing steps to help war veterans cope with mental health struggles. Yet the visit also served as an election-year reminder that he closed out the Iraq war and has pledged an end to the Afghanistan war at the end of 2014.

National Convention will also feature them. Romney kept up a campaign pace out of his convention, with plans for stops in Ohio and Florida on Saturday before a quieter stretch into Labor Day. Friday was a pivot point, but hardly a breather in the window between the two conventions. Before heading separately out of Tampa, Romney and running mate Paul Ryan wooed the voters of powerful Florida, which went for Obama in 2008. “Hold us accountable. Listen to what we have to say,” Romney said. “I plan on winning in Florida. We love this country and we’re taking it back.” Romney shook up his itinerary, as he had hinted, to get to Louisiana and inspect Hurricane Isaac’s damage. It was the kind of trip better associated with a president than a presidential candidate Romney has no authority to direct help but he did draw attention to the plight of victims there. The White House offered no complaints.

Hanes also said she has enjoyed meeting members of the community who stop in to take a look around the building, which has been the number one hangout since it opened its doors in 1941 on the corner of Market Street and the Public Square. “What a great location we have here,” Hanes said. “People who used to come here in the 1960s stop by and look around and have

New look, new attitude Another plan Hanes hopes to put in place is revamping the interior of The Rec to freshen up its image and provide a fresh start that will be inviting to all of those who stop in to work, play and participate in its activities. “To kids, if it looks the same, it’s still the same and with a new look it will tell them — hey, we’re different,” Hanes said. “It’s still the place they know and

For the Troy Daily News The Miami County Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office will be deploying extra deputies throughout the upcoming Labor Day holiday weekend working a combined 120 hours of overtime at various time frames to strictly enforce all Ohio traffic statutes. The extra enforcement already has commenced with special emphasis being placed on drunk and removing drugged drivers from area roadways. The national â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drive Sober or Get Pulled Overâ&#x20AC;? campaign runs through September 3, 2012. Drunk driving is one of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deadliest crimes. During 2010 there were 10,228 people who died in traffic crashes in which at least one vehicle driver or motorcycle rider had a BAC of .08 or higher. Alcohol-impaired motor vehicle crashes cost more than an estimated $37 billion annually. Additionally,

TROY

City offices closed on holiday Trash delayed TROY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Troy residents are reminded that all city offices will be closed Monday for the Labor Day holiday. City refuse collection and curbside recycling will be delayed one day that week due to the holiday (Monday collection on Tuesday, Tuesday collection on Wednesday, etc.). The Dye Mill Road Facility will be open from noon to 8 p.m. Tuesday, but will not be open Monday. Troy City Council will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

MIAMI COUNTY alcohol impairment among drivers involved in fatal crashes is about four times higher at night than during the day. More than 30 percent of drivers involved in fatal crashes on weekends are alcohol impaired and 43 percent of 2009 motorcycle riders who died in crashes had a BAC of .08 or above. That is why the Miami County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office will be joining with thousands of other law enforcement agencies across the nation this Labor Day holiday to take part in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drive Sober or Get Pulled Overâ&#x20AC;? crackdown on impaired drivers. Driving with a BAC of .08 or higher is illegal in every state. Yet we continue to see far too many people suffer debilitating injuries and loss of their loved ones as a result of impaired driving. To help keep this from

happening the Miami County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office is dedicated to arresting impaired drivers wherever and whenever they are found. The national â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drive Sober or Get Pulled Overâ&#x20AC;? impaired driving crackdown is a prevention program organized by the U.S. Department of Transportationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that focuses on combining high-visibility enforcement with heightened public awareness through advertising and publicity. The extra deputies are being funded by a grant the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office received late last year from the Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services. The grant pays for the overtime the deputies accrue during the enforcement campaign and some fuel costs. For more information, visit www.StopImpaired Driving.org.

Isaac renews old debate about levees IRONTON, La. (AP) — When Hurricane Isaac whirled into the Gulf Coast this week, the federal levee system protecting New Orleans did its job. But the patchwork of floodwalls shielding subdivisions outside the city and rural fishing and farming communities was no match for the drenching storm. As the cleanup began Friday, an old debate grew more urgent: Is it worth billions of dollars to build better levees in areas that are sparsely populated and naturally flood-prone? Since Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the Army Corps of Engineers has backed away from the idea of extending protection across much of south Louisiana, citing doubts about whether improved levees would work and whether the money could be better spent elsewhere. None of that sits well with locals, who feel abandoned. “Each time you have a hurricane, you are going to spend enormous amounts of money on search and res-

in Jesuit Bend, a town left out of the federal system in Plaquemines, said the situation makes him “insane.” “There’s a perfectly good levee right behind my house that they could have fixed, and that’s the levee that was in danger of overtopping,” he said. “For them to just say we’re not going to do it there is criminal.” Huey Galmiche, an oil services salesman who evacuated to escape Isaac, said the parish was worth saving because it is a hub for the oil and natural gas industry. Anytime the main highway gets flooded, oil production is cut off. “So that’s costing us money for me and everybody that buys a gallon of gas, OK?” he said. “Raising the levee in the long run probably saves money.” Katrina killed about 1,400 people in New Orleans and caused flooding that covered about 80 percent of the city. The disaster exposed the corps’ engineering standards as weak and unreliable, which led to revisions that made new levee systems even

more expensive. In the hurricane’s aftermath, the corps was given $14 billion to protect New Orleans with new floodgates and floodwalls and higher levees. But none of those efforts encompassed the many smaller communities beyond the city, and the agency has struggled to offer those areas any added defenses. In June, the corps scrapped plans to build a $1 billion levee system to protect areas between the Mississippi River and Bayou Lafourche southwest of New Orleans. The agency said it could not find an economically feasible way to build levees or raise enough homes to guard parts of nine parishes against a storm with a mere 1 percent chance of occurring in any given year, also known as 100-year protection. Meanwhile, another bigticket levee project designed to protect Houma, the Morganza-to-the-Gulf project, is on hold because of similar doubts about costs and benefits.

Waters recede in La., leaving sopping mess BELLE CHASE, La. (AP) — Floodwaters from Isaac receded, power came on and businesses opened Friday ahead of the holiday weekend, the beginning of what is certain to be a slow recovery for Louisiana. Newly-nominated Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney visited flood-ravaged communities, and President Barack Obama said he would arrive Monday, appearances this part of the country is all too familiar with after Katrina and the Gulf oil spill. Meanwhile, the leftovers from the storm pushed into the drought-stricken Midwest, knocking out power to thousands of people in Arkansas. At least six people were killed in the storm in Mississippi and Louisiana. In Lafitte, a fishing village south of New Orleans, Romney saw soaked homes, roads covered with brown water and debris-littered neighborhoods. The GOPfriendly community is outside of the federal levee system that spared New Orleans and it lay on an exposed stretch of land near the Gulf. Romney met along a highway with Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, and they talked about challenges facing the stricken area, which relies on fishing for its livelihood. He also spoke to town officials and emergency workers. “I’m here to learn and obviously to draw some attention to what’s going on here,” Romney told the governor. “So that people around the country know

that people down here need help.” At one point, Romney and Jindal talked to a man in waders, a straw hat and holding a neon yellow “Mitt Is Our Man” handwritten sign. The man complained about the area’s lack of protection from flooding. The town is located just outside a region that is protected by levees and other flood protection measures after Hurricane built Katrina battered New Orleans in 2005. The Army Corps of Engineers spent about $13 billion on the system. Richard Riley rode out the storm in his home. Even though the water was receding Friday, he decided it was time the leave. He walked about a mile and found rescuers, who took him to family members. Riley said he favored building new flood protection for the area, especially after Isaac brought in a surprising amount of water. Riley, a Republican, welcomed visits from Romney and the president. He said he wanted Obama to help make that happen. “He needs to see the devastation and allocate the money that’s needed to build new levees or do whatever is needed to protect us,” Riley said. Crown Point, Lafitte and other nearby settlements that jut inland from the Gulf are accustomed to high water driven by hurricanes. But Isaac, a relatively weak storm by the standards of Betsy and Katrina, pushed in much more water than expected after it stalled after landfall.

To the east, officials pumped and released water from a reservoir, easing the pressure behind an Isaacstressed dam in Mississippi on the Louisiana border. The threat for the earthen dam on Lake Tangipahoa prompted evacuations in small towns and rural areas. In New Orleans, at the Magnolia Discount Gas Station in the Carrollton employee neighborhood, Gadeaon Fentessa said up to 50 drivers an hour were pulling in, hopeful they could pump. He had the gas, but no power. Stations that did have power to pump had long lines. There were other signs of life getting back to some sense of normalcy. The Mississippi River opened to limited traffic, the French Quarter rekindled its lively spirit and restaurants reopened. Isaac dumped as much as 16 inches of rain in some areas, and about 500 people had to be rescued by boat or high-water vehicles. More than 5,000 people were still staying in shelters. The remainder of the storm was still a powerful system packing rain and the threat of flash flooding as it headed across Arkansas into Missouri and then up the Ohio River valley over the weekend, the National Weather Service said. Labor Day plans were already taking a hit. Oleg Shneper, manager of the Extended Stay America hotel in the Cincinnati suburb of Blue Ash, said occupancy was down about 10 percent already.

high water. Not far away, ranchers tried to save a herd of cattle that stood neck-deep in the flood. About 1 million people in coastal Louisiana live outside the massive levee system that protects greater New Orleans, and almost all of them are at risk of flooding during a major storm. For decades, Louisiana has pressed the federal government to erect larger, stronger levees in areas vulnerable to hurricanes. The calls for better protection intensified after Isaac. “These people don’t deserve this,” Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu told WVUE-TV near Braithwaite, a community flooded to the rooftops when a nearby non-federal levee was overwhelmed by Isaac’s storm surge. “We have to fight harder and stronger for protection for everyone. You know, on one side of the levee it’s completely dry. Houses are safe. Families are going back to normal. And on the other side, it’s a nightmare.” Matt Ranatza, a farmer

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Killeen (Texas) Daily Herald on the Fort Hood shooting trial: The recent court ruling putting on hold the long-anticipated court-martial of Maj. Nidal Hasan was no doubt frustrating, but it was the right decision. It’s difficult for many in the Fort Hood community to endure another delay in the proceedings, especially so close to the scheduled start date. It’s been nearly three years since the Nov. 5, 2009, shooting at Fort Hood took 13 lives and injured 32 others. During that time, the community watched as Hasan and his defense team requested and received several continuances, ultimately pushing back the court-martial from March to August. And now the trial is on hold — because of a beard. More specifically, whether Hasan should be able to wear one in court. Since Hasan still is a soldier, he is subject to the military dress code, which generally prohibits beards. But Hasan claims his religion takes precedence, and that shaving his beard would be a As I sin.

The U.S. Postal Regulatory Commission should reject the Postal Service’s proposal to discount its junk-mail rates by up to 34 percent for one of the kingpins of junk mail. The corporation lined up for this fat federal favor is Valassis Communications Inc., a New York Stock Exchange-traded company based in Livonia, Mich. Last year this “communications” outfit spewed out 3 billion pieces of junk mail — 10 for every man, woman and child in the land. Under the proposed deal with the Postal Service, it promises to pile it higher and deeper. We want to be clear about our opposition to this. Special rates for junk mailers is an issue in which newspapers, including The Seattle Times Company, have a direct financial interest. Junk mailers compete with newspapers. If this deal goes through, more ads will be delivered by mail and fewer will be inserted into Sunday newspapers. That is a problem for us. We believe it is also of concern to our readers, because revenue from ads in Sunday papers support the writers, editors, photographers, circulation and delivery people who bring you this and other community newspapers. Junk mail from Valassis Communications supports a company in Livonia, Mich. This deal is proposed as a way for the Postal Service, which expects to lose $14 billion this year, to earn $15 million — one one-thousandth of its projected loss, thereby supporting your postal worker by a tiny amount.

When is technology too much of a good thing? On Friday my mother called me in a serious tizzy. She was on her way to work and had been tuning in and out of a radio program talking about the new texting ban in Ohio. (I’m pretty sure the city we live in has had this for the last seven months, but who am I to judge what my mom gets all worked up about). Apparently, though, she heard something about it now being illegal to even talk on your cell phone while you were driving. Now, my mom is quite the gabber, but she’s the last person to defend or necessitate a “need” to be talking on cell phones while driving. In her mind, however, if we weren’t allowed to talk on cell phones while driving, how would she ever know if one of her kids made it somewhere safely? (You know, me, her 27year-old daughter and my almost 33-year-old brother). What can I say? A mother’s job is never truly over. Anyway, I found the whole notalking-while-driving thing to be a bit far-fetched, so I hopped on the trusty internet and started Googling things.

Amanda Stewart Troy Daily News Columnist Turns out my mom wasn’t completely crazy. You aren’t allowed to use any electronic device (except for a GPS that has been programmed before putting your car into motion) while driving in the car, regardless if you’re texting, calling, scanning Facebook, while at a stoplight or in a horrendous traffic jam, if you’re under 18 years of age. If you’re a minor behind the wheel and would like to make a call, send a text or peruse your email, you have to pull over out of the driving lane or into a parking lot before doing so. This left me scratching my head. I’m totally for the whole notexting shebang. I’ve seen the

— The Blythe Family

hundreds of studies that show people texting on their phone actually have less control over their car than a drunk driver, not to mention I’ve almost been side-hit by a driver anxiously texting or tweeting whatever, but no calls either? The mom in me kind of worries about this. You probably think I’m being silly, don’t I know how dangerous it is for teenagers behind the wheel to be talking on the phone while they’re driving to the mall? Am I not worried about the safety of my child? Of course I am, I’m not sure I condone the whole gabbing about who kissed who at what party while my daughter is on her way home from school, but what happens if there is a wreck — or more likely, a ton of construction — and all the sudden it takes her an hour to get home from school instead of 10 minutes. Wouldn’t you panic? Would I really want my daughter (my hypothetical teenage daughter I don’t have) to have to pull out of a completely jam-packed lane to make

a quick call to me and say “Oh, by the way, I’m stuck in really crappy traffic?” I understand it’s about safety. I know that this is one isolated case that may or may not ever happen. But with texting, Facebooking and tweeting coming under the most fire, I hadn’t heard anything about them sneaking this whole “no electronics” policy in at all. I’m not condoning texting or being irresponsible with phones in the car by any means, I know the dangers of texting and driving first hand. But all I can think about is the old adage that said if your daughter was dating a boy you didn’t like, the fastest way to keep the two together would be to forbid her from seeing him. By forbidding our minors from using any electronic device while behind the wheel, are we just driving them to flirt with something more dangerous? Amanda Stewart appears Saturday in the Troy Daily News. Her kids won’t have cell phones until they’re 20 — well, in her dreams.

Apollo 11 astronauts Michael Collins, left, and Edwin ‘Buzz’ Aldrin, talk at a private memorial service celebrating the life of Neil Armstrong, Friday, at the Camargo Club in Cincinnati. A national memorial service has been scheduled for Sept. 12 in Washington. Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon during the 1969 Apollo 11 mission, died Aug. 25. He was 82.

Armstrong’s two sons talking about him as a father and grandfather. “He touched the lives of so many,” Portman said. “He was the embodiment of everything this nation is all about,” said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. Armstrong, he said, had a courageous drive for exploration while being an “incredibly humble” man Shawnee State who probably wouldn’t have wanted all the attention of University Friday’s service.

He said he and his wife were on their honeymoon in Amsterdam the day of the moon landing. He recalled hotel employees bringing champagne to the guests watching Armstrong’s first steps together on television, and an Englishman lifting his glass in a toast “to all mankind!” Taalman’s voice cracked as he discussed his visit Friday. “I just think a really great man has passed, and the world is poorer for it,” he said. Earlier Friday, Cernan and Apollo 13 commander James Lovell spoke at a Cincinnati hospital to help launch a children’s health fund in Armstrong’s memory. Cernan and Lovell recounted visiting U.S troops in Iraq and Afghanistan with Armstrong, saying he always had an inspirational impact when meeting troops, schoolchildren and other admirers around the world. Lovell said Armstrong was “a great American” who never capitalized on his celebrity and just “wanted to be a team player.” While Armstrong had said any of the astronauts could have been the first to walk on the moon, Lovell and Cernan said Armstrong was the right choice because of the way he handled suddenly becoming an icon. “There’s nobody that I

know of that could have accepted the challenge and responsibility that came with being that with more dignity than Neil Armstrong,” Cernan said. Lovell and Cernan said that they had visited Armstrong two months ago in his home in suburban Indian Hill, and that he cooked breakfast for them and burned the eggs. “Neil Armstrong was probably one of the most human guys I’ve ever known in my life,” Cernan said. Armstrong’s family has suggested memorial contributions to two scholarship funds in his name or to the Armstrong New Neil Frontiers Initiative at Cincinnati Children’s. His wife, Carol, is on the hospital’s board. The astronauts were joined there Friday by 14year-old Shane DiGiovanna, an aspiring aerospace engineer with a rare skin tissue disease. He is able to hear after a cochlear implant, with a device developed by a NASA scientist. After his space career, Armstrong returned to Ohio, teaching aerospace engineering at the University of Cincinnati and generally avoiding public view for most of the rest of his life. In announcing his death, Armstrong’s family requested that when people “see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink.”

Lawmaker pushes measure to allow Medi-Share in Kentucky FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — A Christians-only health care ministry that’s battling in court for the right to continue operating in Kentucky could get a reprieve from the Legislature. Sen. Tom Buford, chairman of the Senate Banking and Insurance Committee, has drafted legislation to eliminate a legal impediment that has left the future of the Medi-Share program in question in Kentucky. Buford, R-Nicholasville, said he decided to intervene because he sees lower-cost programs like Medi-Share as viable alternatives to traditional health insur-

ance in some cases. He wants to protect plans like Medi-Share, which helps pay medical bills for churchgoers who pledge to live Christian lives that include no smoking, drinking, using drugs or engaging in sex outside of marriage. “It just does not make sense to challenge people who offer an affordable plan,” Buford said. “This is obviously more affordable than other insurance plans that are out there on the market.” The Kentucky Department of Insurance has had the Floridabased ministry in court for the past 10 years and is now asking

for a contempt of court order. Medi-Share has continued to operate in Kentucky even after the state Supreme Court ruled that it is subject to the same regulations as secular health care plans. The decision could force the organization to serve nonChristians and provide costly coverage of pre-existing conditions. Franklin County Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate said Thursday he expects to rule within 10 to 15 days on the Department of Insurance motion to hold Medi-Share in contempt. The Legislature doesn’t con-

Christian Care Ministry President Tony Meggs testified Thursday that Medi-Share no longer collects contributions from participants into a central account like secular insurance companies do. Instead, Meggs said, participants make contributions into their own accounts at American Christian Credit Union. When Christians need money to pay medical bills, he said, money is transferred directly between member accounts, bypassing a central fund pool that was in existence at the time of the Supreme Court ruling.

vene again until January, so it will be several months before lawmakers could intervene. Medi-Share and Kentucky are battling over how tightly the state can regulate a Christian health care ministry that serves nearly 40,000 people in 49 states, including 800 in Kentucky. Medi-Share, operated by Christian Care Ministry of Melbourne, Fla., insists participants aren’t buying insurance, but are involved in a charitable endeavor to help cover medical bills of fellow Christians and potentially have their own expenses covered should the need arise.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Be polite, but you do not owe Don another invitation Dear Annie: For the past three summers, my friend "Don" has spent a few days with me at our family beach house. The second year, he hinted about visiting again and was pleased when I invited him back. Soon, he began referring to "his room" at the beach house and making regular comments about "next year." I didn't know how to respond, so I ignored the comments, even though I thought he was being a little presumptuous. This summer, I told Don that I had invited another friend and his wife to join me at the summerhouse. His response was that all of us could go. Annie, even though there's enough room, I want to have only this other couple. But all I could think to say to Don was "maybe." I'm guessing that his feelings are hurt, but I'm a little annoyed. What should I do? — Awkward in Idaho Dear Idaho: You do not owe Don an invitation or an apology, nor are you responsible for whatever assumptions he has made about being entitled to stay at your beach house. Two invitations make you a generous host, not his lifetime roommate. Continue to be friendly with Don, but say nothing more about the summer place unless you are ready to invite him again. This is not your fault. Dear Annie: My husband, a pastor, was asked to perform the wedding of our son's friend and his bride. This involved two trips out of town. For the wedding, we had to drive more than 250 miles round-trip, board our dog for two days and pay for our own motel room, even though the bride said they would take care of it. The weekend cost us $230. This is my gripe: My husband was not given a dime for his services. When I mentioned to him that in the future he might make it a condition of doing a wedding that his travel expenses be covered, he shrugged and said, "They probably couldn't afford it." But they were able to afford everything else, plus a honeymoon! This is not the first time he's been stiffed, although bridal etiquette says it is customary to pay the clergyman $150 to $500 for his services. One couple offered to take us to dinner, but never did. Another couple gave him frozen fish. Please tell bridal couples to be considerate of the clergyperson who has sacrificed to officiate at your wedding. You would not hesitate to pay the limo driver or the stylist who does your hair. Be sure to budget a decent amount for the cleric's services, especially if you know travel expenses are involved. Thank you for letting me get this off my chest. — Pastor's Wife in the Northwest Dear Wife: The person who performs the service should be paid after the ceremony, preferably in an envelope along with a note of appreciation. Travel expenses also should be covered. Bridal couples can inquire about the fee at the church or synagogue office. But if your husband routinely goes unpaid, he could be a bit more assertive at the time he is asked to officiate by saying, "Please call the church office about the fee." Dear Annie: I can identify with "Married to an Octopus." I have been married for 30 years and grabbed for most of them. Explaining that this was more of an assault and an embarrassment rather than a form of affection fell on deaf ears. Here's what finally worked for me. I started grabbing him and saying, "Does this feel nice?" I wasn't rough, but the mere threat to my husband's manhood finally drove home the point that his octopus hands were unpleasant. I also would like to suggest to "Married" that her lack of interest in sex may be less about her health and more about a negative association she has developed with her husband's touch. — Hands Off Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

A dangerous mix if you are not being careful Dear Heloise: Please remind people that standing mixers are powerful tools and can be dangerous! My 6-year-old granddaughter and I were making cookies when she got her face too close to the mixing bowl and her long hair got caught in the mixer, pulling part of her hair out and twisting it on the paddle. I had turned my back to get a measuring cup. This happened so fast! She immediately started screaming, and I pulled the plug as fast as I could. I had to cut her hair off the paddle, and it had already pulled out a chunk of her hair.

Hints from Heloise Columnist — Jan, via email Jan, this is frightening! Thank you for taking the time to share this cautionary tale. No loose clothing, hair or jewelry around the mixer or anything with fast-moving mechanical parts! It’s also a reminder that when little ones are around, a lot can happen in

a few seconds. — Heloise PET PAL Dear Readers: Kelly in New Braunfels, Texas, sent a picture of her miniature rat terrier, Rambo, riding the exercise bike! Kelly’s husband, Frank, is on the bike, too, but you can only see Rambo. To see Rambo and our other Pet Pals, go to www.Heloise.com and click on “Pets.” — Heloise LESS DUST Dear Heloise: I just moved our litter box into a place where the sun shines, and I can see how much dusts floats into the air when the cat uses the litter box, when I scoop the litter and

when I pour the litter into the box. No. 1: Is there a type of litter that has no dust or at least a minimum amount of dust for the cat? No. 2: If not, is there a way to get the litter from the container into the litter box without polluting the air around it so badly? — Willie B., via email Willie, thanks for writing. Try a clumping cat litter. It is manufactured to limit the amount of dust. Or, rather than pouring the litter from the container, scoop it out using a scoop or plastic cup, etc. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Sunday, Sept. 2, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today is an emotional, excitable day! You might be eagerly waiting for something to happen or shocked by something that already did happen! One thing is certain: Your daily routine will change. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You feel restless today. Something secretive or behind the scenes might catch you off guard. Just cope as best you can, with ease and calmness. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Expect to meet someone unusual or bizarre today, or perhaps in a group situation you will run into someone you least expect to see. You feel bold and energetic! CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Conversations with people in authority will not be predictable today. In fact, you suddenly might want to quit your day job. Don’t do this; it will just be an impulse. Think things through. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Sudden opportunities to travel might fall into your lap today. Ditto for chances to get further education or training. Your window of opportunity is brief, so act fast! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might be surprised by a gift or a perk from someone today, because it looks like the universe owes you a favor. Be quick to accept! This offer will not linger. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Relations with partners and close friends are unpredictable today. Someone might demand more freedom in a relationship, or this person might want to change how things work. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your work routine might be interrupted by computer crashes, power outages, staff shortages, canceled meetings or equipment breakdowns. Therefore, allow extra time for wiggle room and a chance to do damage control. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is an accident-prone day for your kids or kids in your care. Therefore, be extra vigilant. Know where they are at all times. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Small appliances might break down at home today, or minor breakages could occur. Unexpected company could drop by. Stay on your toes! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a mildly accident-prone day for your sign, so think twice before you speak or do anything. Guard against thoughtless, knee-jerk reactions to others. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Keep an eye on your money today. You might find money; you might lose money. And guard your possessions against loss or theft. YOU BORN TODAY You seem to be quiet and unassuming. You hate phonies and pretentious behavior; yet, when stressed, you can become remarkably animated and bizarre! You are fair, honest and dependable, and you always defend the underdog. You have excellent money savvy, and you know what you want. Take the time to study or learn something valuable in the year ahead, because it will benefit you.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Saturday, Sept. 1, the 245th day of 2012. There are 121 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 1, 1939, World War II began as Nazi Germany invaded Poland. On this date: In 1715, following a reign of 72 years, King Louis XIV of France died four days before his 77th birthday. In 1807, former Vice

President Aaron Burr was found not guilty of treason. (Burr was then tried on a misdemeanor charge, but was again acquitted.) In 1923, the Japanese cities of Tokyo and Yokohama were devastated by an earthquake that claimed some 140,000 lives. In 1932, New York City Mayor James J. “Gentleman Jimmy” Walker resigned following charges of graft and corruption in his administration. In 1961, the Soviet Union

ended a moratorium on atomic testing with an above-ground nuclear explosion in central Asia. In 1972, American Bobby Fischer won the international chess crown in Reykjavik, Iceland, as Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union resigned before the resumption of Game 21. In 1983, 269 people were killed when a Korean Air Lines Boeing 747 was shot down by a Soviet jet fighter after the airliner entered Soviet airspace.

U.S. homes cracking due to drought-parched soil can lead to cracked basements and foundations, as well as damage aboveground. Repairs often cost tens of thousands of dollars and can even top $100,000, and they are rarely covered by insurance, as shocked homeowners have been discovering. DeVaughan, a retired Presbyterian minister, said she expects it will cost more than $25,000 to fix the split-level home in Manchester, Mo., where she’s lived for 27 years. “I had retired,” said DeVaughan, 70, who has stayed busy filling in at the pulpit for

vacationing pastors. “I guess I’ll keep working.” Home repair businesses, especially those specializing in repairs to basements and foundations, can barely keep up with demand. Drought-related home damage is reported in 40 of the 48 contiguous states, and experts say damage to homes could exceed $1 billion. Dan Jaggers, a board member of the Basement Health Association, a Dayton-based trade group for basement and foundation repair businesses, said this year’s drought is probably the worst for homes since the late 1950s. Houses

We Pay the Highest Prices for Gold,

in the central U.S. from Louisiana up through the Dakotas are getting the worst of it, but significant damage is being reported in all across the country, he said. “It’s not only basements but crawl spaces and slabs,” Jaggers said. “Wherever the soil is interacting with the foundations.” The lack of moisture in the ground has been causing the soil to crack open and pull away from homes’ concrete bases. “It’s very common right now to walk around the outside of somebody’s home and see gaps in the soil wide enough to put your fist

RAYONG, Thailand (AP) — The stylish and nimble Ford Focus is on track to unseat Toyota’s aging Corolla to become the world’s top-selling car, according to Ford. The company said it sold 489,616 Focus sedans and hatchbacks globally in the first half of 2012, besting the Corolla by almost 27,000. The Focus has several advantages, said Aaron Bragman, an automotive industry analyst for IHS Global Insight. It is newer, features better handling and styling, has superior technology and a much nicer interior than the Corolla.

“I’d rank it superior to the Corolla in pretty much most ways,” said Bragman. But Toyota isn’t conceding the title. It has disputed Ford’s numbers, saying its car is still on top when you include Corollas sold under other names. Hatchback versions of the Corolla are sold as the Auris in Europe and Matrix in the U.S. Toyota also sells the Corolla Verso, a van-like vehicle that Toyota has traditionally counted as a Corolla, said spokesman Mike Michels. Including all the models, Toyota sold 603,840 Corollas in the first half, beating the focus by about 114,000, Michels said.

in,” said Jason Courtney of the St. Louis-area repair firm Helitech. All of the movement from the shifting soil can cause cracks in the basement walls or floor. But the damage doesn’t necessarily stop there. “When the foundations move they cause structural damage that can lead to problems above the ground,” said Matt Stock, owner of U.S. Waterproofing in the Chicago area. “Windows don’t open properly. You can get large cracks in the foundation wall, cracks in brick work and mortar, cracks in drywall.”

We will re-open for business on Tuesday, September 4, at 8am.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Carol DeVaughan assumed her suburban St. Louis home was simply settling when cracks appeared in the walls. When she noticed huge gaps between her fireplace and ceiling, and that her family room was starting to tilt, she knew she had bigger problems. Like thousands of other Americans getting stuck with huge repair bills, DeVaughan learned that the intense drought baking much of the country’s lawns, fields and forests this summer has also been sucking the moisture from underground, causing shifting that

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW..TDN-NET. TROYDAILYNEWS COM .COM WHAT’S AHEAD: BRIEFLY

Just A Rumor Carl Edwards dismissed a rumor Wednesday that he will join Penske Racing next season. Edwards brought the rumor up unprompted during a national teleconference in an effort to silence the discussion. He is in the first year of a new contract with Roush Fenway Racing, but there has been speculation he is trying to negotiate an out to take the opening at Penske. “There’s been a lot of talk about me driving the 22 car, that’s impossible,” Edwards said. “First of all, I haven’t discussed that with anyone ever. And, (number) two, I am contracted to drive the 99 car.”

Watkins Glen pres a Testament to diversity

NAPA Extends Truex Martin Truex and primary sponsor NAPA have agreed to a threeyear contract extension with Michael Waltrip Racing. The team has made dramatic improvement this season, going into Sunday’s race at Atlanta Motor Speedway fifth in the Sprint Cup standings and looking to give Waltrip a spot in the Chase for the championship for the first time as a car owner. The team’s other full-time driver, Clint Bowyer, is sixth in the points and also positioned to lock up a Chase berth. NAPA has a long history sponsoring NASCAR and decided to stay on board in a major role, rather than a parttime deal that would’ve required Waltrip to seek additional backing. The announcement was good news for NASCAR, which has struggled to land full-season sponsorships since the economic downturn.

Dario Franchitti sits in his pit before a qualifying round for the IndyCar race July 21 in Edmonton, Alberta. Franchitti’s three year run as IndyCar champion is coming to an end. With two races remaining, he finds himself out of contention for the title for the first time in years.

The end is nigh Franchitti’s 3-year run atop IndyCar coming to close By The Associated Press After three years on top, the end is here for Dario Franchitti. His IndyCar reign officially ended last weekend at Sonoma. A thirdplace finish, his best result in seven races, mathematically eliminated him from championship contention. Franchitti is now in the unfamiliar position of not being part of the title race as the IndyCar season comes to a close. “I’ve been pretty spoiled the last four go’s, I’ve been in it and ended up winning it,” said Franchitti, who won his first title in 2007, spent 2008 in NASCAR and out of IndyCar, then returned in 2009 to win the last three championships. “It feels a little odd to not be in the fight,” he said. “But with the season we’ve had, we don’t deserve to be in it.” It’s been an off year for Franchitti and his Target Chip Ganassi Racing team. It began with the season-opener at St. Petersburg, when he ran out of gas on the last lap, and the problems have followed him all year. He had contact with Ryan Briscoe and mechanical problems at Long Beach, and was spun from behind on a restart while running second in Brazil. He qualified second at Texas but battled an “evil” car the entire race. A wreck at Milwaukee while leading and an engine failure on the

warm-up lap at Iowa wiped out polewinning runs, and he broke his wing by running into the back of James Hinchcliffe after starting second at Mid-Ohio. With two races left, Franchitti has just one win, three podium finishes and, at ninth in the standings, is on track for his worst finish in IndyCar since he joined it full-time in 2004. The lone bright spot? That one win came in the Indianapolis 500. It was Franchitti’s third 500 victory, and he wouldn’t trade it for another championship this season. “We talk about the frustration of the season, but we won the Indy 500 again and came back from the back of the grid to do it, and I’m very, very proud of that,” he said. “We got it done in Indy in pretty good style, and that takes some of the sting away. But not all of it, because you do get kind of greedy.” Franchitti is already thinking about next season. An abbreviated schedule this year means IndyCar concludes Sept. 15, giving Franchitti plenty of time to return to his native Scotland, spend time on his new sailing hobby or vacation at leisure. But he said Wednesday he is not sure yet what he’ll do during the offseason, as his free time will depend on his testing schedule and his fitness regimen. That’s all the indication anyone

needs that the 39-year-old Franchitti isn’t thinking about a life after racing just yet. He understands that the combination of his age, his accomplishments, and the end of his title run raises questions about his future. How long does he want to do this? What might he do after IndyCar? The answer, Franchitti said, is that he’s not given it that much thought just yet. He appreciates the opportunity he has with Ganassi, where he and teammate Scott Dixon win races and challenge for the title every year. They get along well, support each other on and off the track, and understand how rare that can be these days. And, after struggling with underperforming teams early in his career, Franchitti appreciates being with a powerhouse organization. “When you get a chance to drive for a team like I do, the Target team, you wait for that opportunity your whole life and you realize what you have and you don’t take it for granted,” he said. “It’s something to enjoy and you don’t want to give it up. I’ve been on the other side of it, and I realize exactly what I have with this team.” The final year of his current contract with Ganassi comes up in 2013. And he knows the clock is ticking on his career.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) — In quiet moments and there aren’t many in the world of auto racing Michael Printup often marvels at this juncture of his professional life: a Seneca Indian overseeing a historic race track by the shores of Seneca Lake. “When you’re Native American, you’re talking about 1 percent of the population to begin with. I recognize it. I’m proud. It’s pretty cool,” said Printup, who at 47 is completing his third year as president of Watkins Glen International, the famed road course in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York that NASCAR visits each August. “There’s 22 NASCAR facilities, there’s 22 track presidents across the country, there’s one female in California (Auto Club Speedway president Gillian Zucker), and me,” he said. “Everybody else, I’ll call Joe Citizen.” NASCAR created its Drive for Diversity program to develop minority drivers and crew members, and help them advance through the ranks with the goal of reaching the sport’s top series, Sprint Cup. Since 2004, the program has included more than 40 drivers, with most being selected more than once. When African-American driver Darrell Wallace Jr. finished ninth in his Nationwide Series debut at Iowa Speedway in May, it was a significant moment for both Wallace and the program. NASCAR also has a diversity internship program that offers experience to college students. Since its inception just over a decade ago, the program gives students a look at motorsports careers. Printup represents that avenue for aspiring professionals in the sport. “The drive for diversity across the industry is a good thing,” said John Saunders, president of International Speedway Corp., which owns the Watkins Glen track. “We’re starting to see some traction, particularly at the race track where young drivers, men and women of many different cultures, are coming to the lower divisions of NASCAR.”

Edwards looks to boost Chase chances in Atlanta HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — Carl Edwards sounded downright giddy after a practice session Friday, not at all like someone who’s in danger of missing out on a chance to race for his first Cup title. NASCAR’s only stop at Atlanta Motor Speedway couldn’t have come at a better time for him. Heck, if the ceiling had been a little higher in the infield media center, Edwards might’ve done one of his patented backflips.

“We could not be at a better place,” he said. “I love this place.” Last year’s Sprint Cup runner-up is struggling just to make the Chase for the championship, coming into Sunday night’s AdvoCare 500 ranked 12th in the point standings. The top 10 get in, plus two wild cards based on season victories, and Edwards has yet to win this season. So, his mission his clear: win in Atlanta or next week in Richmond. If not, he’ll be spending

the final 10 races as an outsider in the title race, with no way to make up for the galling Cup loss to Tony Stewart in the finale last season. “We recognize the position we’re in,” Edwards said. “We don’t like it. The only thing we can do is go out and race like we’ve got nothing to lose because, in a way, we don’t.” This 1.54-mile tri-oval is one of Edwards’ most successful tracks. His first Cup victory came at Atlanta in 2005. Overall,

he has three wins at the high-banked speedway, along with seven other top10 finishes. Many NASCAR tracks that have been repaved in recent years, leaving a slicker surface that reduces tire wear but cuts down on the chances to really go racing. No so in Atlanta, where the 15year-old surface is gritty and challenging. There are numerous passing grooves, but drivers must also concern themselves with how much grip they’re losing

with each lap. Edwards is thrilled about the possibilities. “We need a place where I can let the car hang out, where the car goes faster on fresh tires than on old tires,” he said. “This track is one where you can drive the car sideways, take some chances. You can burn the tires off for three laps, make it look good, and put yourself in position to do something spectacular. It’s not like fresh pavement, where everyone is struck to one groove.”

Troy’s Miles Hibbler breaks free for a big gain during the first half Friday night at Springfield Shawnee.

A thing of beauty Trojans run over Braves in Brewer’s 1st victory BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com There were times Friday night, Matt Barr had to admit, it was hard not to become an innocent bystander to the red and gray devastation swirling around him. “When you hand the ball off to guys with that much speed, I would carry out my fake then turn around and watch those guys take off around the outside,” the Trojan quarterback said.

SPRINGFIELD The Troy’s offense spread the wealth and used its blistering speed in a 41-14 romp over Springfield Shawnee at Dave Long Memorial Stadium Friday. With the win, Troy improved to 1-1, while dropping Shawnee to 1-1. “It felt good to finally get our offense going a little bit,” Troy coach Scot Brewer said, still dripping wet after the Gatorade bath from his players to celebrate his first win as Troy’s new

Bengals cut Herron, Browns cut Wallace Former Ohio State running back Dan Herron was among 18 players waived by the Cincinnati Bengals on Friday night to get down to the 53-man roster limit.

Senior flanker Blake Williams set the tone for the Trojans on Troy’s first play from scrimmage, ripping off a 57-yard run to give Troy the ball at the Shawnee 27. Two plays later, Barr hooked up with receiver Nick Zimmer on a 20-yard touchdown pass, giving the Trojans a lead they would never lose. “Who would I try to stop on our offense?” said Willliams, who also added a 57-yard reception

Cincinnati Reds’ Mike Leake delivers a pitch against the Houston Astros in the second inning Friday in Houston.

Reds top Astros HOUSTON (AP) Jay Bruce had a three-run homer and Zack Cozart added a two-run shot to help the Cincinnati Reds beat the Houston Astros 9-3 on Friday night. Cozart’s home run gave the Reds an early lead before consecutive homers by Fernando Martinez and Matt Dominiguez tied it at 2-all in the fourth inning. Chris Heisey singled in a run in the fifth to put the Reds on top and Bruce connected for his 28th home run later in the inning to cushion the lead. It’s the fourth straight win for the NL-Centralleading Reds. The loss wraps up a dismal August for the last-place Astros, who have dropped six

straight and went 5-22 in this month. Reds starter Mike Leake (7-8) allowed seven hits and struck out six in six innings. Rangers 5, Indians 3 CLEVELAND — Adrian Beltre had four hits and scored twice to help the Texas Rangers beat Cleveland 5-3 Friday night, handing the reeling Indians their sixth straight loss. Beltre had three of his hits off Ubaldo Jimenez (914) as the Rangers rolled to their 10th win in 13 games. The Indians’ 15th loss in 16 games made them 5-24 in August, tying the team record for losses in one month, set in July 1914. Cleveland is 5-28 since July 27.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Years ago when Woody Hayes prowled Ohio State’s sideline, the Buckeyes would line up against some overmatched, undersized team and thick-necked farmboys would open up gaping holes for speedy backs. Six or eight or even 10 touchdowns later, Hayes would call off the dogs and start gameplanning for the next victim. But the man who holds Hayes’ job now says that era of physical domination by teams is all but over. “The days of anybody really just rolling over someone is more and more difficult than it ever has been,” said Urban Meyer, who makes his debut as Ohio State’s 24th head coach on Saturday against Miami (Ohio). “Because there is parity in college football.” There are a lot of reasons that teams don’t run up lopsided scores like Ohio State did in beating TCU 62-0 in 1969, Wisconsin 560 in 1975 and 56-7 over Minnesota in 1973. — Scholarship limits have flattened and spread

Boom! Bengals cut Herron Browns waive Wallace CINCINNATI (AP) — Former Ohio State running back Dan Herron was among 18 players waived by the Cincinnati Bengals on Friday night to get down to the 53-man roster limit. The sixth-round draft pick averaged only 1.7 yards per carry in the preseason. He ran 15 times for 29 yards during the final preseason game at Indianapolis on Thursday night. The most experienced player waived was linebacker Roddrick Muckelroy, a fourth-round pick in 2010 who missed last season with an Achilles tendon injury. The Bengals also placed defensive tackle Pat Sims on the physically unable to perform list. Sims missed the last five games last season because of ankle injuries that limited him during training camp. He won’t be able to practice for the first six weeks. Linebacker Dontay Moch will miss the first four games for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.

The Bengals also placed safety Tony Dye on a reserve list with an ankle injury, ending his season. Defensive tackle Nick Hayden was released with an injury settlement following his ankle injury. • Browns Cuts CLEVELAND — Seneca Wallace threw a touchdown on his last pass in Thursday’s exhibition. Turns out, it was his last pass for the Browns. The veteran quarterback was waived Friday by Cleveland, a move that seems to indicate the team will keep former starter Colt McCoy as a backup to rookie Brandon Weeden. Wallace was released along with tight end Evan Moore, a person familiar with the decisions told The Associated Press. Wallace and Moore were informed of the moves earlier Friday said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the Browns have not yet announced their roster cuts. The team must get down to the NFL’s mandatory 53man limit by 9 p.m. The 31-year-old Wallace spent two seasons with the Browns, who acquired him in a 2011 trade from Seattle, where he had played for Browns president Mike Holmgren. Wallace started seven games for Cleveland. After coach Pat Shurmur named Weeden his starter, Wallace and McCoy were left to battle for the No. 2 job. Shurmur left open the possibility he would keep both, but decided to waive Wallace and his $2.4 million contract and keep Thad Lewis as his third quarterback.

differential by running its own spread offense. RedHawks coach Don Treadwell, a former assistant to deposed Ohio State coach Jim Tressel at Youngstown State, isn’t so sure that theory works. He’s says schools from power conferences have seen just about everything a team can throw at them. “I don’t know that it matters as much what type of offense is coming in because nowadays so many more teams are running similar style of offenses,” said Treadwell, 4-8 a year ago in his first season in Oxford, Ohio. “Most things have been seen and practiced against. At the end of the day, it’s more or less, what have you done in situations from game experience?” In many ways, Miami is doing what Meyer hopes to do at Ohio State. Zac Dysert is a big, strong-armed and yet mobile quarterback who passed for 293 yards a game last season while tossing 23 touchdown passes. He will take shotgun and pistol snaps, can run it and is a wizard at finding his favorite target, wide-out Nick Harwell. All Harwell did a year ago was pile up 97 receptions for 1,425 yards and nine TDs.

FRIDAY NIGHT ROUNDUP

Bees-Roaders

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM

Tippecanoe Vikings Win Big — Even with Routs Greenville a bigANSONIA lead at the half, Miami GREENVILLE — Two weeks into the season, and the Tippecanoe Red Devils look to be in mid-season form. The Devils (2-0) — who began last season a young team and won games with late heroics — posted their second straight rout to kick off the season, blowing out Greenville 55-0 Friday night. Jacob Hall scored four first-half touchdowns — on runs of 19, 1, 44 and 66 yards — to help the Devils claim a 42-0 lead by halftime. Nick Fischer, Sean Ford and Alex Hall all scored touchdowns, and quarterback Ben Hughes caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Jaret Wasson. Tippecanoe opens up at home against county rival Milton-Union in its biggest test yet.

MIlton-Union Rallies WEST MILTON — Jason Siler. Josh Simpson. Wesley Martin. Andrew Lynn. Corey Layman. Milton-Union coach Breat Pearce wanted to make sure everyone knew who the Bulldogs’ heroes were Friday night. The five offensive lineman cleared the way for a huge second-half comeback as the Bulldogs (2-0) came back from a 24-13 halftime deficit to beat Oakwood 4838. “In the first half, we had a lot of self-inflicted wounds — two turnovers, penalties at the wrong time,” Pearce said. “We came out in the second half and just ran behind our offensive line. “Oakwood kept scoring, too. But every time they got a big play, we’d go out and get one of our own.” Chris Boggs unofficially had 268 yards on the ground, and Tyler Brown was close to 200 yards, as well.

East coach Max Current was uncomfortable. Because he was concerned might get a bit too comfortable. But the Vikings (1-1, 1-0 Cross County Conference) held onto a sense of urgency throughout the game, keeping the pressure on in a 45-6 victory at Ansonia Friday. “I thought in the second half we did a good job of maintaining our intensity,” Current said. “We kind of let our guard down a little at the end of the first half. I was worried we’d have a letdown in the second half, but the kids responded — and the defense really shut them down. We got a lot of young guys in, and it was a good win for us.” Miami East opens the home portion of its schedule next week against Arcanum.

Covington Convincing UNION CITY — Covington opened up Cross County Conference play on the road Friday night — and the Buccaneers look prepared to defend their league title. The Buccs (2-0, 1-0 CCC) built a 42-0 lead by halftime Friday night, keeping the heat on and taking care of Mississinawa Valley 62-0.

Piqua at Kings KINGS MILL — Piqua wasn't about to let a disappointing week one loss to Elida define the season. But, with the character shown in the final four minutes Friday night, it wouldn't be a surprise if a stunning 24-21 win over Kings does. And when Ben Crawford hauled a 25-yard TD pass from Justice Young with 13 seconds remaining to give Piqua the win, the bitter memories of the Elida game were erased,

The Railroaders had a 17-play drive — lasting over eight minutes — stall on the 14-yard line. Bethel caught Bradford off guard on its first play with Jason Clendening throwing a 22-yard pass. The offense failed to gain another yard on the drive, though, and was forced to punt. Canan — who had 193 yards on 18 first-half carries — then decided it was time to take over. He amassed 34 yards on the drive to set up a 16-yard touchdown pass from Brandon Wysong to Dallas Cassel. A missed extra-point gave Bradford a 6-0 lead. After another short Bethel drive, Canan scored on the first play of the ensuing possession, running 57 yards to the end zone. Bradford attempted a twopoint conversion, but failed, giving the Railroaders a 120 lead. The Bees (1-1, 0-1 Cross County Conference) — who had only mustered 11 yards of total offense — doubled their yardage with an 11yard run to open their third drive. Three plays later, Brandon Garlough broke free for a 47-yard touchdown run — cutting the lead in half after a failed conversion attempt. Bradford (2-0, 1-0 CCC) tried to add to its lead before the half, driving the ball to the 6-yard line with four seconds remaining. A

missed field goal made the score 12-6 at halftime. Bethel started the second half — much like the first half — with Clendening finding a streaking Andrew Hurst wide-open for a 56-yard touchdown. A Garlough extra point gave the Bees

their first lead of the game. After the two teams had drives stall out, Bradford found itself facing a thirdand-18 from its own 41-yard line. But Brandon Wirrig escaped past the Bethel defense, leaping to make a 24-yard grab to extend the drive. Canan capped off the

drive with a 3-yard TD run, then pounded in a two-point conversion to make the score 20-13. Bradford got the ball back after a Bethel threeand-out. With a chance to put the game out of reach, the ‘Roaders started on the 28-yard line. The ‘Roaders were able to overcome 25 penalty yards as Canan ran for 90 total yards on the drive, highlighted by a 52yard touchdown run by Canan, to make the score 26-13. “The thing about James is that he is a leader,” Enis said. “He knows he has a good line in front of him, and that group played well. He just decided he wanted to be the guy to make plays.” Having an experienced team — and a bruising running back — may be enough to pick up a few more big wins. A blue moon may not be necessary.

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 later in the game. “Maybe Miles Hibbler. I don’t know. I’m not going to say me. If you try to stop one of us, we’ll just give it to someone else.” Which is exactly what Troy did … gave the ball to someone else. After a Devante Burns interception gave the Trojans the ball at the Shawnee 48, Troy went backwards one play before Fred Whitson ripped off a 51-yard touchdown run to put the Trojans up 14-0. Fred’s younger brother Tre Whitson recovered the bobbled kickoff at the Shawnee 37, giving the Trojans the ball back once again. Six plays later, Hibbler — who missed the first game of the season with a hamstring injury — ripped off a 19-yard touchdown run. Hibbler — who finished with 94 yards on only 12 carries — would add a 41 yard touchdown run later in the game. “You think Miles gives us a little change of pace back there?” Brewer said of the speedy junior tailback. “It’s great having both Fred and Miles back there. They pick each other up. Having him back gives our offense a whole different look.” Up 21-0, Shawnee — playing without star tailback Alex McCrory, who rushed for 200 yards last week but suffered an injury — scored with 1:46 left to play in the half to cut Troy’s lead to 21-7. Not that it mattered. With less than two minutes in the half, Barr led the Trojans on a perfect two-minute drill, going 65 yards in 90 seconds, connecting on a 14-yard

answer. On the ensuing drive, Troy needed just three plays to go 74 yards and extend the lead to 35-14 and put the game out of reach. After a 57-yard pass from Barr to Williams, Devin Blakely took the ball in from 13 yards out. Troy would add an insurance touchdown when Hibber broke a tackle at the line of scrimmage and scampered in from 41 yards out for the final margin of victory. “It felt so good to be back in the game,” Hibbler said of sitting out last week. “Last week I just got mad watching every play. I was pretty excited to be back. Coach told us Fred and I would be sharing every other drive, which is fine by us. We don’t mind. It just keeps us both fresh.” In the end, it was a thing of beauty to watch — both from the sidelines and on the field.
