Optimism in short supply

INSIDE

American Dream dims in face of slow recovery COLUMBUS (AP) — He’s 30, between jobs, with $50,000 in student debt and no clear sense what the future holds. But Erik Santamaria, Ohio-born son of Salvadorans, has a pretty awesome attitude about his country, his life and the world of possibilities.

“Maybe things won’t work out the way I want,” he says. “But, boy, I sure can’t complain about how things have worked out so far.”

This is the sweet spot of American optimism, a trait that looms large in the nation’s history and imagination. To find it these

days, talk to an immigrant, the child of one or, failing that, a young person of any background. That’s where the torch seems most likely to burn brightly.

With anyone else, it’s hit or miss. For many, these times are a slog.

That “shining city on a hill” from political mythology looks more like a huffing climb up a field filled with ticks. Public opinion researchers find handwringing at almost every turn, over a glum and nervous decade defined by terrorism, then war, then recession, then paltry economic recovery.

Labor Day still a workday

Surge in prices frustrates motorists

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. See Valley, Page B1.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — As the remnants of Hurricane Isaac pushed their way up the Mississippi valley on Saturday, spinning off severe thunderstorms and at least four tornadoes, some on the Gulf Coast were impatient with the pace of restoring power days after the storm dragged through the region.

When Macy Boehringer recently was accepted as a member of the Covington Fire Department, she not only continued a family tradition of volunteer firefighters — she also broke new ground by becoming the first female firefighter in the department’s 131year history.

“It runs in my family, and I like to help people out,” said Boehringer, a 2012 Covington High School graduate. “It’s something I always wanted to do. I submitted an application, and I was accepted.”

Boehringer said she is a third-generation firefighter on both sides of her family.

Her paternal grandfather,

the late John Boehringer, served on the Covington Fire Department. Her mother’s (Maria Hicks of Bradford) grandfather, Dan Kihm, served on the Tipp City Fire Department. Her stepfather, Jim Hicks, served on the Gettysburg Fire Department.

Her father said he was surprised when his daughter told him she wanted to be a firefighter, but supports her decision.

“I told her that if that’s what she wanted to do, go for it,” John Boehringer said. “I am proud of her. I know she can handle it.”

Shell station cashier Carol Stratten has seen customers react with disbelief to the spike in gas prices that began just days before Labor Day weekend.

“Everybody’s just wondering why. I had one gentleman come in this morning who said he’s been out in the country and was wondering when they got up to $4,” said Stratten, who works at the gas station on Dorset Road.

The recent uptick in gas prices is tied to Hurricane Isaac’s landfall along the Gulf Coast, where oil refineries were forced to close in the wake of the Category 1 storm. Ohioans saw gas prices increase almost 14 cents Wednesday — the largest oneday spike in the country, CNN reported.

As a truck driver for a concrete company, Ron Diesier, 43, of Pleasant Hill has watched his workplace adjust to escalating gas prices, both recently and over the last few months. Diesier spends about eight to 10 hours a day driving for his job.

“We now charge the customer a fuel charge. It started about a year ago when gas prices really went up,” Diesier said. “We didn’t use to, but now we do because we had to find a way to compensate.”

Optimism • Continued from A1 Still, you aren’t seeing pessimism in the season of the political conventions.

The Democrats, convening Tuesday in Charlotte, N.C., want to corner the franchise on happier tomorrows, just as the Republicans wanted at their convention this past week. The notion that America’s best days are ahead comes packaged and polished from the stage, cheered by delegates in goofy hats.

But such platitudes probably won’t go far with Marie Holly, 54.

On her lunch break in a mall just north of Columbus, Holly recounts a struggle to get by as a temporary floor designer at a department store, making one-third of the salary

she once earned at a graphics-design firm that cut hours and wages before she quit in January to freelance. She firmly believes in the American Dream, but in the sense of dreaming it, not grasping it.

“I’m not seeing anything to strive for, I guess,” she said. “I’m settling.”

Polls sing the blues: • Nearly two-thirds lack confidence that life for today’s children will be better than it has been for today’s adults, according to an NBC-Wall Street Journal survey in May. • Half of registered voters do not see the U.S. as the shining city on a hill, meaning the example for other countries, though 45 percent do, according to a Fox News poll in June.

• In April 2011, a USA Today-Gallup poll found

that optimism that the next generation’s lives will be better than parents’ dropped to its lowest level since the question was asked in 1983. Only 42 percent thought so. Before then, majorities always believed their children would have a better life.

• In a dramatic drop from the late 1990s and early 2000s, just over onethird were satisfied with the U.S. position in the world in a February Gallup poll, down from at least two-thirds in the months before and after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Younger people, though, typically see a rosier future than older generations. As long as that holds, optimism stays woven in the nation’s fabric.

In an August Associated Press-Gfk poll, only about

half said it’s likely that today’s youth will have a better standard of living than their parents. But optimism was the greatest among those who have the farthest to climb those of modest to low income, and the young themselves.

In the poll, 55 percent of those earning under $50,000 said it’s likely the next generation will do better; 58 percent of those under 35 expect to have a better life than their parents.

So it seems to be with Santamaria. He possesses both the idealism of his recently completed college years and the belief, perhaps stirred by his immigrant parents, that this is a land of options.

“Their dream for me would be picking the tallest building out here and mak-

ing the most money,” he said, sitting on a picnic table outside a downtown Columbus market with friends, and gesturing to the cityscape.

Before getting his English literature degree in June, he worked at the Brands in Limited Columbus, where he was responsible for communicating with managers and customs officers to make sure paperwork for overseas Bath & Body Works stores was properly handled.

Santamaria left that job and won’t be seeking work at the city’s tallest building, 41 stories housing state employees. He set his sights since growing up in Toledo on “being able to do something you really loved to do,” more than raking in riches.”

1997, under the George Voinovich administration, which was supposed to take effect in the 2001-02 school year, but was watered down in the face of opposition from parents and teacher unions, according to National Public Radio’s State Impact.

“There’s more teeth to it,” Herman said of the Third Grade Guarantee initiative, which requires students to repeat the third grade if their reading scores are inadequate. “Now there will be a score and it is more black and white now.”

Herman said the district uses Dibels reading aptitude tests to test students’ reading levels. The state has yet to announce its testing program, so Herman said Troy City Schools will continue to use their own software and tests until the Ohio Department of Education says otherwise.

Miami East Elementary will use the state standard assessment to measure reading, Rappold said.

“We have 10 to 12 percent of students in grades K3 who need reading inter-

vention,” Herman said.

“That’s pretty low compared to other districts our size.”

Rappold said the district will be sending letters to parents of K-3 students about the reading level test and follow-up with students who demonstrate a need for more intervention.

“The thing is, how do we tell parents of kindergarteners, whom we’ve only had for a few weeks, about their child’s reading level?”

Rappold said, adding the district had never tested Kindergarten students on their reading level at the beginning of the school in years prior. “We’ll be sending letters out, but for the most part, parents and students won’t see a significant change as a result.”

Both Rappold and Herman said parents and teachers will need to communicate about how well their children are reading, beginning this year and moving forward.

“We are trying to catch it early enough and use intervention before the third grade,” Herman said. “We just have to work through it.”

Herman said every effort has been made well before the Senate Bill 316 “Third Grade Guarantee” to improve a child’s reading before going to the next grade level. Herman said all elementary schools have at least one or two reading intervention specialists in the building who work with children with their reading.

This year, more than 40 students were eligible for summer intervention, yet only around eight children participated in the opportunity for more help, Herman said.

While details still are being added to the Third Grade Guarantee, school officials have yet to be told the crucial benchmark score, although it should be announced in the coming months, of what is passing and what is failing. Both officials said that benchmark will be different between promotion or repeating the third grade at the end of the 2014 school year for third-grade students — with those limited exceptions.

“There’s going to be some challenges,” Rappold said of the mandatory retention for third graders failing reading at the end of the school year in 2014. “It all depends on that cut score.”

“We’ve got good people and we’ll deal with it,” Herman said. “We’ve got good kids and that’s what we are striving to do every day.”

Herman said for every child needing intervention, a plan will be made and followed to bring reading level scores up to the benchmark.

Herman said another difference is this year, all reading scores of the students must be reported to the ODE, which is a new requirement for all districts.

“As time goes by, the ODE will send us more information,” Herman said about the reports, reading benchmarks and other requirements to follow.

“We’ll still be doing a great job and deal with this as it comes,” Herman said.

Reading • Continued from A1 not be promoted to fourth grade.

Although exceptions apply for students who are learning English as a second language, special education and previously detained students, local superintendents weighed in on the new initiative, which could impact a small percentage of thirdgrade students at the end of the 2014 school year.

Both Miami East Local Schools Superintendent Dr. Todd Rappold and Troy City Schools Superintendent Eric Herman said students in kindergarten through third grade will be tested in reading twice this year, once in the fall and again in the spring, to measure their proficiency in reading as routine.

“We’re going to test all of our K-3 students and get an idea of their reading level and see if there are potential problems, but we do this every year anyway,” Herman said.

Ohio attempted to put a reading requirement for fourth graders in place in

As a rule of thumb, he shuts off the motor if he’s sitting idle for more than three minutes, though he said stopping and starting the car likely wastes gas too.

His workplace foots the bill for the company truck, but Diesier has to cope with high prices for his own two vehicles.

“We don’t go as far as we used to,” he said. “We used to visit my sister-in-law in

Piqua, but now it’s only once a month.”

Brent Corn, 25, of Troy said he didn’t anticipate prices escalating this high.

“It’s crazy. I was just talking to my buddy about it,” Corn said. “When I get a new car, I want to get a hybrid.”

Prices will likely fall to pre-storm levels relatively soon, as the hurricane did not cause any severe damage to the refineries, according to CNN reports.

Insurance For the Things That Matter Most!

Pilot whales come ashore FORT PIERCE, Fla. (AP) — More than 20 pilot whales came ashore on a south Florida beach on Saturday, triggering a daylong effort by state and national officials, nearby residents and others to save them.

By evening, five pilot whales, two calves and three juveniles, had been transported to Florida Atlantic University’s Harbor Branch Institute for rehabilitation.

The rest had died of natural causes or had to be humanely euthanized, said Allison Garrett, a spokeswoman for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s fisheries service.

“It was not possible to rehabilitate them,” she told the Associated Press.

The pod of 22 whales

came ashore Saturday morning at Avalon Beach State Park in St. Lucie County. They ranged from calves and juveniles to adult whales.

Garrett said it was unclear why the whales became stranded.

“Pilot whales are very social animals,” she added.

“One scenario could be one of the animals was sick.

They won’t leave (a sick whale). They’ll stay together.”

For this reason, it’s useless to push pilot whales back into the ocean, Blair Mase, stranding coordinator for NOAA’s Southeast Region, told TCPalm.com.

“If you push them into the water, they’ll just keep coming back and stranding

themselves again,” said Mase, who was surfing in the area when he noticed people running toward the beached whales.

TCPalm.com reports that hundreds of residents came to the beach to assist with the rescue, helping the animals turn upright so they breathe better. could Volunteers covered the whales with moist towels and poured water over them. Red Cross volunteers helped ensure that volunteers stayed hydrated in the hot sun.

“I think that people want to help animals,” said Jacqui Thurlow-Lippisth, a Harbor Branch volunteer who worked with others to tend to juveniles in a shaded inflatable pool.

Earlier this week she began firefighter training at Sinclair College in Dayton.

“There’s a lot of homework already,” Boehringer said Wednesday.

After completing her Level I and Level II training at the fire academy at Sinclair College in Dayton, she plans to pursue EMT and paramedic training at Sinclair, with an eye toward a future full-time career as

a firefighter.

Boehringer said she is looking forward to the training at Sinclair.

“There is book work, but there is also hands-on training and that is what I like about it, most of it is hands-on,” she said. “I know it’s going to be a challenge,” Boehringer said, adding that she is confident that she will be able to complete the training successfully.

She received a vote of

Denny Rhoades, who retired from the Covington Fire Department with 25 1/2 years experience, also said he is confident Macy can handle the duties.

The younger Boehringer recently began attending twice monthly department meetings, as well as working two part-time jobs — at the Covington Eagles and Sweet Treats ice cream stand in the village.

According to Bill Murphy, economic development director, the opportunity for the new restaurant grew out of work with consultants on the Retail

Recruitment Strategy, part of Grow Piqua Now, which helps to match retailers with a community’s demographics.

“We’ve been working with the company, potential developers and others on getting everything lined up for this project for over a year,” said Murphy, who estimates an opening for early 2013.

Retired rear admiral to speak at WACO The WACO Historical Society welcomes retired Rear Admiral Jimmie Taylor as guest speaker at 7 p.m.

Sept. 26 at the WACO Air Museum, 1865 S. County Road 25-A. His presentation will cover the early F-14 fighter aircraft development, operational fleet introduction, Paris airshow, foreign military sales and the politics in D.C. hindering the Tomcat’s development.

Most of Taylor’s career was spent in the cockpits of F-8 and F-14 fighter aircraft aboard most of the Navy’s

TROY aircraft carriers. He was the first fleet F-14 demo pilot, demonstrating the F-14 across the United States and Europe, including the 1973 Le Bourqet Airshow in Paris, France. Another highlight of his career is serving as Chief of Naval Air Training from 1988 until 1991.

He also served as the Commanding Officer of the first F-14 squadron to make a fleet deployment. While aboard the USS Enterprise

in 1975, he participated in the first F-14 combat sorties during Operation Frequent Wind, which concluded our presence in Vietnam with the evacuation of Saigon.

From 1965-1970, he accumulated some 200 combat missions.

Taylor retired in 1991 after 34 years as a naval officer after earning three Service Distinguished medals.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Arab News, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Syria and Lebanon: People who have been in car wrecks sometimes recall how they saw the collision happening, as if it were in slow motion. There is an awful similarity to what is occurring in Lebanon, as the Syrian government exports its aggression to the neighbor, in whose affairs it has meddled for so long and so disastrously.

It seems clear that the Assad regime is actively seeking to stir up inter-communal tensions and ultimately conflict among Lebanese. If, using its allies in Hezbollah and Amal, it can open a new battlefront in Lebanon, international alarm will spread, along with the conflict. Might it not also be possible to bring Israel into the conflict by having Hezbollah launch a major rocket offensive against northern Israeli settlements? The inevitable retaliation across the border into a sovereign Arab state could leave countries that currently back the Syrian opposition in a difficult political position.

Thus, the calculation from Damascus may well be, that having the violence spill over dangerously and unpredictably beyond Syria’s borders, will cause a reappraisal of the general support for the Syrian opposition and the Free Syrian Army.

For horrified onlookers of this slow-motion political wreck, the moment of impact is drawing inexorably closer. …

Yet there is something that Lebanon’s leaders, all of them, can be saying and should be saying.

They should be proclaiming that Lebanon is an independent country… The economy, though still shaky, is heading in the right direction. Of equal importance, foreign investor confidence is returning with investors…

The slow-motion wreck has still not reached the point of impact.

There is surely still time for Lebanon’s leaders to stand on the brake?

London Evening Standard on UK health care: The government’s initiative to encourage the National Health Service to expand abroad deserves support. Ministers want major specialist hospitals to move into lucrative overseas markets in order to make money.

That could ultimately help subsidize those hospitals’ work in the UK. Critics say that such efforts by hospitals would be a distraction from their work here, especially at a time of upheaval in the NHS. Certainly no one would want overseas operations to have that effect.

But there is no reason why they should. Moorfields Eye Hospital, for example, set up a unit in Dubai, Saudia Arabia, in 2007, while Great Ormond Street children’s hospital also operates abroad: such ventures have not lessened the excellence of the care they offer here.

The broader point is to recognize the NHS’s global reputation, something that often gets forgotten in stories about waiting lists and funding wrangles. In a number of areas, the UK is a world leader in developing new kinds of surgery and care: in cancer diagnosis and treatment, for example, the Royal Marsden is first class.

There are plenty of problems, to be sure, but we also have much to be proud of in the NHS, as reflected in Danny Boyle’s inspired Olympic opening ceremony.

People come from all over the world for private treatment in London hospitals.

If we can use that excellence and that brand to raise money abroad, that would be positive.

Valve and Steam — a gamer’s last, best friends On-disc downloadable content (DLC) — extra content in addition to the normal video game itself, yet for some reason the developers had time to put it on the disc before shipping it — that gamers are forced to pay exorbitant extra costs for to access.

“Online passes” that cost extra if you try to save some money by buying a game used.

Always-online digital rights management (DRM) forcing players that only want to play single-player to connect to the Internet anyway to prove that they didn’t pirate a game.

The threat, in the next generation of consoles, of the elimination of the ability to buy second-hand used games or even rent them from a video store.

Video gamers are the single most abused consumer group in existence, watching their rights get flushed down the toilet by the most monolithic video game publishing companies — like Electronic Arts, Activision-Blizzard and company — and only being able to whine and complain in forums to absolutely no effect whatsoever.

The bloated corporate gatekeepers hold all of the power — even to the chagrin of the game developers who work for them, at times — and gamers have no way to fight back.

Luckily, gamers still have one

Josh Brown Sunday Columnist friend in the world — Valve.

Valve is a large corporate game publisher, but it’s more like the Google of publishers. It does everything it can not to be evil (even though it recently forced its users to sign a new end user license agreement to prevent them from ever filing class action lawsuits against the company, which — unfortunately for gamers — is common practice now, too). While it makes games for both consoles and PC, it’s most widely known for its digital distribution service over the PC, Steam.

And Steam is a godsend for many, many reasons.

As consumers shift to buying (and companies shift to selling) games digitally instead of in physical boxed copies, Steam is the largest digital distribution service in existence, with a user base of more than

40 million people. In comparison, EA’s digital service Origin — the second-largest one — has around 11 million users.

Steam is a great way to find old games that are no longer available at retail — the primary reason I became a user in the first place (XCom: UFO Defense for $5? Sign me up!), a great way to find independently created games that aren’t available anywhere else, or just as a way to buy games for your PC from the comfort of your own home.

One of the greatest things about Steam also points out the major difference between Valve and a company like EA — the sales.

Steam’s seasonal sales — in the summer and the winter — are things of pure magic. Discounts of up to 89 — yes, 89 — percent. New daily deals every day for two weeks.

So-called “flash” sales that pop up randomly and last for 10 hours. Plus a community vote sale, where users choose from one of three potential deals that they want to see.

I had a library of three games on Steam before the summer sale — the first I’ve taken part in. Now I have 30. And spent just a shade over $100 — which is funny, when most new retail games from big publishers release with $60 prices.

EA takes offense to the sales.

In an interview on Eurogamer earlier this year, EA Senior VP for Global Commerce David DeMartini tried to say that the Steam sales “cheapens intellectual property” and devalues games that “game makers work very hard to make.”

We gamers have news for you, buddy. When games sit on store shelves with that $60 sticker on them, not moving for months at a time, they’re not very valuable to anyone. When Steam puts them on sale and gamers buy them up like crazy, we are telling you what their value is. And when the price goes back up and people are still buying it, the sale has done its job of raising interest in the games — and their makers. And those same people become ever more likely to buy games from those publishers and developers again.

And ignore the evil ones.

Sorry, EA. You don’t tell us what your games are worth.

We’ll tell you.

At least that’s one right we still have — whether or not to buy your games or someone else’s.

TDN Sports Editor Josh Brown appears Sundays. He’ll be buying the “XCom” remake next month on Day 1 — for its full retail price. Because it’s worth it.

Retirees may have trouble finding doctors Rural doctors who accept Medicare hard to come by GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — Nina Musselman had no trouble finding a family doctor when she retired to rural Oregon nine years ago to be closer to her children. But then that doctor moved away, leaving her to search for another who would take Medicare.

After a year of going from doctor to doctor, she finally found one who stuck.

As record numbers of baby boomers go into retirement, many are thinking about moving from the places they needed to live to make a living, and going someplace warmer, quieter or prettier.

If they choose small towns like Grants Pass, 250 miles south of Portland, they could well have a hard time finding a family doctor willing to take Medicare, even supplemental plans, rather than private insurance.

“It’s a sad situation for seniors,” she said.

There are several reasons the 78 million boomers, Americans born between 1946 and 1964, could face difficulties finding a doctor if they retire to small towns over the next 20 years.

First, many primary care doctors prefer to live and work in urban areas because of greater cultural opportunities, better schools and job opportunities for spouses.

Also, Medicare pays rural doctors less per procedure than urban physicians because their operating costs are supposedly less. That makes rural doctors less likely to accept Medicare patients.

With cuts to Medicare reimbursement for doctors targeted under the federal health care overhaul, the shortage is likely to get even worse, said Mark Pauly, professor of health care management at the University of Pennsylvania.

That is, unless increasing reimbursements for nurse practitioners and physicians’ assistants encourages those providers to take up the slack, Pauly said.

If the Medicare cuts go

through, “the doctors are saying: “We’re out of here,’” Pauly said.

“The least they are saying is: ‘We’ll treat Medicare patients like we treat Medicaid patients,’ which is mostly not.”

Still, there is some good news, depending on where you live.

Pauly said the Affordable Care Act “puts a lot of emphasis on wellness programs and primary care. Nurses, especially nurse practitioners, are intended to play a major role there.”

In Oregon, Washington and 14 other states, nurses and nurse practioners “can operate independently of doctors, writing prescriptions, ordering tests, and even running clinics,” Pauly said.

Nationwide, the 22.5 percent of primary care doctors who practice in rural areas roughly matches the 24 percent of Medicare patients living there, said Dr. Roland Goertz, chairman of the American Academy of Family Physicians board.

A survey of academy members nationwide shows 83 percent take new Medicare patients.

But there is an overall shortage of primary care physicians that still makes it hard for retirees to find a family doctor.

The real problem, he said, is that the health care system “has not supported a robust, adequate primary care workforce for over 30 years.”

According to the American Association of Medical Colleges, rural areas need about 20,000 primary care doctors to make up for the shortages, but only about 16,500 medical doctors and 3,500 doctors of osteopathy graduate yearly.

“We are always trying to recruit doctors. We are barely keeping even,” said Lyle Jackson, the medical director at the MidRogue Independent Physician Association, a cooperative of doctors in Josephine County, where Musselman lives.

Taking part in the Medicare Advantage program, which pays a higher rate to doctors than standard Medicare, helps, but is still not enough, said Jackson, a former family physician.

In this June 19 photo, Dr. Bruce Stowell examines patient Robert Busch at his office in Grants Pass, Ore. Stowell is among many doctors in rural areas who have capped the numbers of Medicare patients they take due to low reimbursement levels. A nationwide shortage of primary care physicians willing to set up practice in rural areas is making the problem worse.

A 2009 survey of doctors in the Oregon Medical Association showed concern over Medicare reimbursement rates topping the list of 23 issues, with 79 percent rating it as very important, said Joy Conklin, an official at the association.

The survey showed 19.1 percent of Oregon doctors had closed their practices to Medicare, and 28.1 percent had restricted the numbers of Medicare patients.

That really becomes evident in Josephine County, which attracted retirees after the timber industry collapsed.

Low taxes, cheap housing,

wineries, a symphony and low traffic put it in top 10 lists for retirement communities. The 2010 census puts the number of people older than 65 at 23 percent, compared to 14 percent for the state.

But the website County Health Rankings & Roadmaps, which gathers a wide range of health care data nationwide, shows 933 patients for every primary care physician in the county, nearly 50 percent higher than the national 631-to-one rate.

At the Grants Pass Clinic, Dr. Bruce Stowell said they are no

longer taking new Medicare patients. Medicare pays about 45 percent of what commercial insurance pays.

As it is, their proportion of Medicare patients is double that of a similar Portland practice.

“We used to get a steady stream of high-quality (resumes) from U.S.-trained and U.S.-born physicians,” he said. “Over the last year, that stream has declined into a trickle. Very few (doctors) are choosing to go into primary care.”

Schools are turning out more nurse practitioners and physician assistants.

How well they fill the doctor gap will depend largely on how much independence states give them to practice, said Tay Kopanos, director of health care policy for state affairs at the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.

Meanwhile, overall demand for primary care will be increasing as more people can afford it under the Affordable Care Act, said Joanne Spetz, a health care policy professor at the University of California, San Francisco.

Dr. Atul Grover, chief of public policy for the American Association of Medical Colleges, said the nation is facing a tough time recruiting for primary care as well as other specialties that treat Medicare patients, such as oncologists.

When he decided to become a primary care doctor in the 1990s, it was because of a widespread belief that health maintenance organizations were going to be hiring all the doctors.

He said they wanted primary care doctors to emphasize wellness and prevention. Now, many graduates are moving into specialties that do procedures, such as surgery, because Medicare pays more for them than plainold office visits.

Also, the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 capped the number of residencies paid by Medicare, so there is no quick way to increase the numbers of doctors in general, let alone in rural areas, he said.

“An entire year’s worth of doctor production is needed to deal with the (rural-area) shortage just today,” he said.

Nation’s ‘carpet capital’ struggles to recover DALTON, Ga. (AP) — Factories dot the highway and carpet retailers and mills line the main street through this town nestled in the north Georgia foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, making clear why Dalton was dubbed Carpet Capital of the World.

Many of those businesses are shuttered now, hinting at one of the city’s more dubious distinctions: The city has lost more jobs per capita in the past year than any other in the U.S. Between June 2011 and June 2012, 4,600 jobs in this city of 100,000 have disappeared, according to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Factories in and around Dalton produced three-quarters of the nation’s flooring until the housing bubble burst and brought one of the largest U.S. manufacturing

Weeds populate the parking lot of a vacant building along the Interstate 75 corridor of carpet businesses in Dalton, Ga., Aug. 22. Collapsing industry or not, Dalton city officials are still the proud owners of the label ‘Carpet Capital of the World,’ but what they aren’t happy about is the most recent label:The city that is leading the nation in the number of job losses per capita this year. industries to its knees. 2007 to 12.7 percent in 2009, Thousands lost their jobs, according to the Georgia and the unemployment rate Department of Labor.

Recovery has been eluspiked from 4.7 percent in

sive here, in part because virtually every other business in town relied on the prosperity of carpet. Support industries, such as trucking, suddenly had less to haul and had to find ways to make up for it. Officials say they’re fighting to bring their city back from the brink.

Elaine Bell, a lifelong Dalton resident, was among those who lost her job at a local carpet factory in 2009. She’s willing to work any job she hasn’t found full-time work since losing her factory job. But her hope dwindles every time she hears the word “no.”

“I’ve been all over Dalton since 8 o’clock this morning and that’s all I’ve heard: We ain’t hiring,” Bell said.

Bell said she’s barely getting by, trying to keep up with gas prices and the cost

The backbone of Dalton for years was its own “big three” of carpet manufacturers, just as a much larger city, Detroit, relied entirely on the “big three” of car manufacturing: GM, Ford and Chrysler. Much like Detroit, the failure of big industry led to problems for other businesses.

Carpeting was once the “bread and butter” for the trucking company Rosedale Transport Inc., said executive vice president Nathan Wooten. But that changed when fewer new homes were being built, meaning the demand for new carpet plummeted.

Now, the company has cut carpet transport by 15 percent and hopes to continue making it a smaller share of its business. Wooten said beverage transport has helped offset some of the losses.

of taking care of her elderly mother.

Of those 4,600 jobs lost, only 400 were in manufacturing. Most of the rest were in construction, hospitality and other private sector services stinging from carpet’s decline. And that ripple effect is to be expected, said Rajeev Dhawan of the Economic Forecasting Center at Georgia State University.

The Great Recession was a deep one, and nationwide the recovery has been weak compared to past economic downturns. For Dalton, a city that relied almost entirely on the success of a single industry, it was deeper.

“To come out of that hole you require an absolutely brand new booming industry going bonkers to absorb all the people,” Dhawan said.

Absentee ballot applications headed to voters’ mailboxes COLUMBUS (AP) — More than six million applications to vote by absentee ballot for the November 6 election will arrive in Ohioans’ mailboxes soon after Labor Day. Secretary of State Jon Husted said it will be the first time voters in all 88 Ohio counties will receive applications to request an absentee ballot.

“This mailing represents an unprecedented move toward uniformity, accessibility and fairness in Ohio’s elections process,” Husted said this week.

The ballots will go out to registered voters in Ohio who have their current mailing addresses on file,

according to a Husted spokeswoman.

A second mailing expected to go out in early October will include voters who registered or updated their mailing information after Aug. 6, 2012. Voters must provide valid identification, their birthdate and signature on the applications.

Voters must mail the completed ballot applications by noon on Saturday, Nov. 3. Registered voters who do not receive an application may check to see if their address is the most up-to-date, and make any address changes that are necessary by going online to www.MyOhioVote.com,

said Husted spokeswoman Maggie Ostrowski.

Voters must mail the completed ballot applications by noon on Saturday, Nov. 3, she said. If voters change their mind and go the polls after having requested an absentee ballot, they will have to vote by provisional ballot.

The cost of the initial statewide mailing of ballot applications is expected to cost $1.4 million, but the benefit is that more votes can be cast early easing the rush on Election Day and reducing the potential for long lines at the polls, according to Husted.

Absentee ballots will be sent out starting Oct. 2.

Meyer era begins

A7 September 2, 2012

QB Miller sizzles as OSU romps Miami COLUMBUS (AP) — The Urban Meyer era at Ohio State began with a flushed face from the Buckeyes’ coach.

Struggling through a first quarter in which the host Buckeyes had only 47 yards of offense and trailed, 3-0, to visiting Miami (Ohio), Meyer admitted he was agitated.

“Embarrassed” he said.

Then sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller shouldered up to the first-year coach and insinuated, “I got this.”

He wasn’t kidding.

Over the next three quarters, Miller ran for 161 yards and passed for 207 yards and two touchdowns, leading No. 18 Ohio State to a 56-10 romp over the RedHawks in the season opener for both teams.

“I’m not as positive as Braxton was,” Meyer said. “But it’s nice to have your quarterback stand right with you and say, ‘Here, we’ll be fine.’”

Rallying his team from three points down, Miller threw back-

victory Trojan girls take down Lebanon

The ball sat on the net chord for a second, rolled along it for about a foot … and then fell on Troy’s side, a block for Miami East’s Leah Dunivan.

That point — which came while the Vikings were in the middle of a lengthy secondgame run — was just how the day went for the Trojans.

Staff Reports Playing on the road against Lebanon — one of the better teams in the Dayton area — the Troy girls soccer team experience showed as the Trojans came away with a 3-1 victory on Saturday, improving to 4-1 (2-1 Greater Western Ohio Conference) on the season.

TROY Still, Troy (3-2) fought tooth and nail and hung tough with the reigning Division III State champion Vikings, never once looking like they couldn’t contend despite a three-game Miami East sweep, 25-21, 26-24, 25-16 Saturday at the Trojan Activities Center.

Miami East (5-0) won 12 of 13 points in the second game, including an eight-point streak that included four service aces

by Abby Cash and Dunivan’s fortuitous block, building a 2214 lead in the game and appearing poised to close the match out early.

“All aspects of the game —

MIAMI COUNTY “I would argue that (Lebanon) is one of the top three or four teams in the Dayton area,” Troy coach Michael Rasey said. “I would classify this as a signature win for our program.”

With four minutes left in the first half, Madison Burchfield scored on Leah Soutar’s flip throw in. A big save by goalie Amanda Blakley — who had 10 saves on the game — helped the Trojans hold the lead at 1-0 going into half.

Back on track Trojans right a lot of wrongs in win

BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com There were two directions the Troy football team could have taken after a losing a last-minute heartbreaker to Chaminade Julienne in Week 1 — the Trojans could have hung their heads and sulked their way through the rest of the season, or they could have put that loss behind them and moved on to the next opponent.

SPRINGFIELD The Trojans selected the latter as opposed to the former, and the results were telling Friday night in a 41-14 route of Springfield Shawnee, the Division III state runnerup a year ago.

The victory was the first under new head coach Scot Brewer — whom, it bears mentioning, moved past two former Troy coaches on the school’s alltime win list. Robin Friday and Howard Hoffman posted back-to-back winless seasons in 1952 and 1953.

“We really wanted to get this win for ‘Brew,’” Troy assistant coach Jason Manson said as he walked into a United Dairy Farmers convenience store following Friday’s victory.

“We hoped we could get it for him last week, but we were happy we could get it for him this week. This is a big win for the kids.”

Troy will need to show the same focus it had against Springfield Shawnee this week as a much-improved Xenia team comes to town.

First, however, some final notes from the Trojans’ 41-14 win over Springfield Shawnee: • MOST VALUABLE PLAYER: Welcome back, Miles Hibbler.

After sitting out Week 1 with a tweaked hamstring, the speedy junior running back immediately made his presence felt against the Braves, carrying the ball 12 times for 94 yards and two touchdowns. His night would have been bigger had he not had a 57yard touchdown run called back on a holding penalty — one many holding calls the flag-happy officials in Friday’s game made.

It does bear mentioning, however, Hibbler was far from the only star for the Trojans Friday.

Offensively, quarterback Matt Barr, flanker Blake Williams and tailback Fred Whitson also had big nights. Defensively, with the exception of a handful

Troy’s Devin Blakely breaks loose after a reception Friday. of big plays Shawnee made, the Trojan defense kept the Braves in check Friday.

• UNSUNG HERO OF THE GAME: With the offense and defense both making big plays all night, it would be easy to overlook the contributions of Troy’s special teams units.

In particular, sophomore kicker/punter Zach Thompson had a huge night — and not just because he made six-ofseven extra point attempts.

Thompson also had a huge night punting the ball, punting the ball away five times for a 39.9-yard average. His 50-yard punt in the first quarter with the Trojans holding on to a 7-0 lead helped flipped the field position in what was, at the time, a tight contest.

Also, after a shaky start on his first two kickoffs, his perfectly executed pooch kick after Troy’s second touchdown was too much for Shawnee to handle and Troy sophomore Tre Whitson fell on it at the Shawnee 37 after the Braves couldn’t field it.

That led directly to the Trojans third touchdown of the night, putting Troy up 21-0.

• PLAY OF THE GAME: Shawnee had just scored a touchdown mid-

way through the third quarter to cut Troy’s lead to 28-14 — and appeared to have taken a sizable chunk of momentum away from the Trojans.

Turns out it didn’t much matter, however, as on the first play from scrimmage after the ensuing kickoff, Barr hooked up with Williams on a 57-yard screen pass. After hauling in the short pass, Williams broke several tackles on his way to a long jaunt to the Braves’ 13. On the very next play, Devin Blakely ran the ball in for a touchdown, extending the Trojans’ lead to 35-14 and putting a quick halt to the surging Braves.

After Williams catch and run, Shawnee was never again a factor in the game.

• WHAT WE LEARNED: Several things, actually.

First and foremost, this is resilient Troy team.

Lesser teams would have wilted after losing the way the Trojans did in the season opener. Troy showed the ability to put a tough loss behind it and come back and focus on the next opponent.

Also, Troy showed when everything is clicking, it can be a force to be reckoned with offensively. After struggling to score points

in two scrimmages and the season opener, Troy’s offense exploded for 41 points and 341 yards in total offense. Were it not for a few, ahem, questionable holding calls, Troy would could have easily racked up 50 points and probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 yards in total offense.

The offensive line is starting gel as a unit, new quarterback Matt Barr is starting to come into his own and Troy’s stable of running backs are finally getting to the perimeter and using their blazing speed.

• WHAT HAPPENS NOW: It certainly doesn’t get any easier for the Trojans.

With the exception of Sidney — kudos to the Yellowjackets for starting the season 2-0 after going 0-20 the past two seasons, by the way — there may not be a more improved team in the area than Xenia, Troy’s Week 3 opponent. After going just 3-7 last season, the Buccaneers are off to a 2-0 start, posting impressive wins over Carroll (34-23) and Bellbrook (42-7).

Troy already showed it can overcome a tough defeat, now it has to prove it doesn’t get complacent after a huge victory.

McIlroy in lead Error gives Astros win at Deutsche NORTON, Mass. (AP) — Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods played together in the opening two rounds of the season in Abu Dhabi. They were together again for the opening two rounds at Bethpage Black for the start of the FedEx Cup playoffs. The idea is to get them together with a trophy on the line.

Both took a step in that direction Saturday in the Deutsche Bank Championship.

McIlroy went from one extreme to another on par 5s just 30 minutes apart a 4-iron into 10 feet for eagle on No. 18, a 5-wood in the water for bogey on No. 2 but stead-

ied himself for another 6under 65.

Woods, playing in the afternoon, had three birdies on the opening six holes until he could no longer get a putt to drop. He made birdie putts of 30 feet and 15 feet late in the round to salvage a 68, which left him only two shots behind.

In between was Louis Oosthuizen, the former British Open champion with one of the purest swings in golf.

Oosthuizen had four 2s on his card of 65, and goes into the third round just one shot behind and in the final group with McIlroy.

HOUSTON (AP) — Cincinnati second baseman Wilson Valdez’s error on a routine grounder by Jose Altuve with two outs in the ninth inning lifted the Houston Astros to a 2-1 win over the Reds on Saturday night.

Pinch-hitter Matt Downs doubled off the left field wall with two outs in the ninth. Sean Marshall (4-5) intentionally walked Matt Dominguez before pinch-hitter hitting Brandon Barnes to load the bases.

Altuve hit the ball directly at Valdez, who was playing second after Brandon Phillips was ejected in the previous inning, and it rolled between his legs allowing Downs to trot home and Houston to break a six-game skid.

Wilton Lopez (6-3) got the last two outs in the ninth inning for the win.

Indians 4, Rangers 3 CLEVELAND — Jeanmar Gomez and three Cleveland relievers combined to beat the Texas Rangers 4-3 and the Indians snapped a sixgame losing streak Saturday night.

The win was Cleveland’s sixth in 34 games since July 27.

Texas entered with a four-game lead in the AL West over Oakland and lost for just the fifth time in 16 games.

Gomez worked 5 2-3 innings. Joe Smith, Esmil Rogers and Vinnie Pestano finished. Pestano allowed two hits over 1 1-3 innings for his first save.

Pestano has been Chris Perez’s setup man for two years, but Cleveland’s AllStar closer never warmed up.

Cleveland scored four runs in the first inning off Scott Feldman (6-11). The Indians are 42-24 when scoring four or more runs.

Carlos Santana had a two-run single before Casey Kotchman and Jack Hannahan each had RBI groundouts in the first inning.

David Murphy hit his 11th homer leading off the third for the Rangers’ first hit. He walked to open the fifth and scored on a sacrifice fly by Mitch Moreland to make it 4-2.

Adrian Beltre’s 26th homer with two outs in the sixth made it 4-3 and finished Gomez.

Busch wins pole HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — Kyle Busch took the pole for the Nationwide race at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Saturday night.

Busch turned a lap at 176.280 mph to edge Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and earn his first pole in his own Kyle Busch Motorsports No. 54 Toyota. Busch, who finished second in the Truck race Friday night, is the Nationwide career leader with 51. He’s winless in the series this year.

Kevin Harvick was third, followed by Kasey Kahne and Denny Hamlin.

Sam Hornish Jr., series points leader Elliott Sadler, Brad Keselowski, Austin Dillion and Mike Bliss rounded out the top 10.

And yet, with East leading 24-16, Lauren Freed took over the serve for Troy after a Jenna Selby kill … and rattled off seven straight points to even things up at 24-24. The Vikings had three chances to close the game out on kills but hit all three out of bounds, Selby stuffed down a block, Freed recorded an ace and Selby tied the game with a kill.

An untimely service error gave the ball back to the Vikings, though, and Angie Mack scored an ace to make it 2-0.

“We rattled off eight in a row there. That was our only really long run of the day,” Owen said. “Then we shanked a serve and gave away the advantage.

“We did a good job of battling in Games 1 and 2.

But we could never get more than a one- or twopoint lead when we had it.

We’d let them go on long runs compared to our short ones.”

And Miami East coach John Cash knew that his team had dodged a bigtime bullet.

“We did a poor job of playing their game,” Cash said. “We didn’t execute our tempo offense at all.

When we did, we scored points with it, but that wasn’t often, and Troy put points on the board by taking advantage of that.

Playing like that is not going to get us where we want to be.

Sutherly followed that up with a through ball up the middle to Emily Holicki, who calmly placed it past the keeper with just 2 minutes left until the break.

“I told the girls it was important to come out the first half and get some goals,” Miami East coach Lil Carson said. “The weather report didn’t look good for this game, and if a first half is completed, the game can stand.”

The Vikings wasted no time getting started again the second half as their final goal came just over two minutes in. Lindsey Roeth made a pass up the line to an overlapping Kendra Beckman.

Beckman crossed one far post that Katelyn Gardella headed past the keeper.

“Our movement off the ball was better today,” Carson said. “That needs to continue. And defensively, we were solid today, limited their chances and got another shutout.”

Hlavackova upsets Kirilenko in Open 3rd round NEW YORK (AP) — Andrea Hlavackova’s hip ached every time she tried to move side to side and tennis players spend most of their matches racing from one edge of the court to the other.

“You run to the right and you have a really tough problem to get back,” she said of how she felt Saturday. “So I have to just go forward.”

This late bloomer in the singles game is going forward in the U.S. Open and in her career. The 82nd-

ranked Czech upset Maria Kirilenko 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 to reach the fourth round in her first individual appearance at the Open.

Now she might become known as more than just the player who comes from the family of brewers of the famous Pilsner Urquell beer in her home city of Plzen.

She’s a 2011 French Open doubles champion, but don’t call Hlavackova a doubles specialist. She switched coaches after Roland Garros this year

and committed to maximizing her singles career even though at age 26, she’s considered old in tennis terms to make such a run up the rankings.

“I want to be in the big matches,” Hlavackova said.

“I want to be the winner of those big matches.”

Hlavackova had never advanced past the second round at a Grand Slam event before this week or defeated a top-20 opponent in a completed match before beating the 14th-seeded Russian on Saturday.

In August, Hlavackova reached a career-best singles ranking. That earned her an automatic bid into the U.S. Open, where she had lost in singles qualifying five times.

Hlavackova collapsed to the court after Kirilenko’s last shot landed wide. Tears streamed down her face during her post-match interview.

“This is the reason I play tennis,” she said later.

Matches like her challenge in the fourth round: 14-time Grand Slam cham-

pion Serena Williams, likely in Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Hlavackova has never faced Williams in singles, but she knows how it feels to stand across the net from her. Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka lost to the Williams sisters in the Olympic doubles final to earn a silver medal in London.

Asked if a doubles matchup is an accurate preview of Williams’ intimidating presence, Hlavackova laughed and said, “Yes, it is.”

Hlavackova marveled at

the near impossibility of hitting a passing shot against either Williams: “Lob no way. The side they’re there.”

Hlavackova hopes to be healthy and rested for their match. She’s scheduled for women’s doubles and mixed doubles Sunday but might drop out of mixed.

Compensating for problems with her left hamstring, Hlavackova tweaked her right hip flexor warming up Saturday morning.

So she went to the net 24 times against Kirilenko, winning 18 of those points.

Buckeyes ■ CONTINUED FROM A7 to-back scoring passes to Devin Smith (for 23 yards) and Corey “Philly” Brown (5 yards) to give his team the lead for good.

After completing only one of his first seven passes for 5 yards, Miller completed five in a row, including an acrobatic one-handed catch by sophomore Smith.

It was part of a 297yard second quarter that put points on the board and put Ohio State’s new coach at ease.

“It’s not a game of anger,” Miller said, explaining his calm mindset while his coach was stewing. “Go out there, have fun and make sure you’re doing all the right things in positive ways.

“If you’re doing anything in the negative way, there’s nothing that’s going to get done at that point.”

After the slow start, Ohio State outgained Miami, 538-312, for the game.

The 6-foot-3 athletic quarterback from Huber Heights Wayne was a big reason why.

Miller’s 368 yards of individual total offense were more than OSU had as a team in 11 of its 13 games last year.

His 161 yards on the ground were not only a career-high, but were also the most by an OSU quarterback since Cornelius Greene ran for 146 yards against Wisconsin in 1974.

“He is a really good athlete,” Miami linebacker Jaytee Swanson said. “He is a great runner, a great thrower and a good leader.”

After Ohio State took its 21-3 lead into the locker room at the half with the help of a 4-yard scoring run by Carlos Hyde, Miller provided some more theatrics at the

On the first play of the half, Miller took the ball left, picked up a block from Zach Boren and ran up the visitor’s sideline.

He locked up Miami’s D.J. Brown with a stutter-step of “SportsCenter” proportions and cruised to the end zone for a 28-3 lead.

“I did a little jerk and scored the touchdown,” Miller said with a smile.

OSU continued to pile it on two minutes later, hopping on a botched punt snap in the end zone for a 35-3 lead. The snap glanced off the hands of punter Zac Murphy, and a

scrum ensued, with Bradley Roby emerging from the pile with the ball.

It was the first big play of the season for the punt block team dubbed “The Freak Show.”

“Everybody was tugging at it,” Roby said. “I felt the ball and just muscled it away from whoever it was.”

Miami answered back on its next drive with a 44-yard touchdown pass from Zac Dysert to Nick Harwell, but the damage had already been done and the Buckeyes were too far ahead for the score

to make much of a difference.

While Miami had 312 yards of offense, it ran the ball for only negative-1 yard on 20 carries.

Dysert had a big day, completing 31 of 53 passes for 303 yards. He was victimized by numerous dropped passes.

After a 165-yard first quarter, the RedHawks had only 140 yards the rest of the game.

“We should have scored more and earlier,” Dysert said, “but unfortunately it didn’t happen.”

Ohio State wrapped up the scoring with three fourth-quarter touchdown runs. Carlos Hyde (17 carries, 82 yards) scored his second touchdown of the season from the 8, senior Zach Boren scored the first rushing touchdown of his career from the 2, and freshman Bri’onte Dunn bullied in from the 4 with less than a minute to play.

As Meyer took inventory of his first career victory at Ohio State, he said he hoped his young quarterback would be more accurate in the future than his 14-for-24 performance on Saturday, lamented a missed opportunity to punch a score in on the last play of the first half, and discounted the notion that his Buckeyes were amped too high at the beginning of the game.

The smile on Meyer’s face as he sang the OSU alma mater, “Carmen Ohio,” — not to mention the scoreboard above the band — suggested his young quarterback was right.

After the slow start, Miller and the Buckeyes were going to be fine.

“What a great day,” Meyer said. “We enjoy a win. Now we’ve got one and now we get ready for next week.”

No. 23 Florida edges BGSU GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Mike Gillislee had a career-high 148 yards rushing and two touchdowns, helping Florida beat Bowling Green.

The performance was far from perfect for the Gators, who struggled part of the game on offense and failed to generate much pressure on defense. Still, it was enough for Florida to win its 23rd consecutive opener. The streak is the second longest in the nation behind Nebraska (27).

The Gators can thank Gillislee, Frankie Hammond and two missed field goals for the latest one.

Gillislee scored on runs of 15 and 38 yards in the second quarter.

Hammond turned a short pass into a 50-yard score early in the fourth.

Bowling Green could have had a second-half lead, but fifth-year senior Stephen Stein missed field-goal attempts of 31 and 29 yards.

No. 6 Georgia 45, Buffalo 23 ATHENS, Ga. — Freshman Todd Gurley ran for three touchdowns, Aaron Murray threw three scoring passes and Georgia overcame a sloppy first half.

Gurley didn’t start but may have emerged as the Bulldogs’ future at tailback with his eight carries for 100 yards, including scoring runs of 10 and 55 yards. He added a 100yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the first quarter.

Georgia, favored by 37 points, led only 24-16 at halftime before pulling away in the season opener for both teams.

No. 7 FSU 69, Murray St. 3 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Lonnie Pryor, James Wilder Jr., and Debrale Smiley combined for seven rushing touchdowns Saturday to lead No. 7 Florida State to a 69-3 win over Murray State.

Pryor ran for three TDs, and Smiley and Wilder added two apiece.

Wilder finished with 106 yards rushing.

No. 11 WVU 69, Marshall 34 MORGANT OWN, W.Va. — Geno Smith threw for 323 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Mountaineers past Marshall.

In the final scheduled game between the state’s only Bowl Subdivision

teams, it marked West Virginia’s highest-scoring season opener in school history.

Smith kept the momentum going from his six-TD performance from the Orange Bowl.

The senior completed 32 of 36 passes and set a school record for career completions before sitting out most of the fourth quarter The Mountaineers compiled 655 total yards, more than any game last year, and got the balance they’ve sought from their running game. Shawne Alston ran for 123 yards and two scores.

No. 12 Wisconsin 26, NIU 21 MADISON, Wis. — Montee Ball rushed for 120 yards and a touchdown, and Wisconsin needed a big defensive play to survive a fourth-

Ohio running back Beau Blankenship (22) is brought down by Penn State linebackers Michael Mauti (42) and Glenn Carson (40) after a short gain during the fourth quarter of an NCAA college football game Saturday at Beaver Stadium in State College, Pa. Ohio won 24-14.

Bobcats beat Nittany Lions STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — A white towel draped over his shoulder, the new Penn State coach in the white polo shirt donned headphones to communicate with his assistants in the press box as he paced the sideline.

These are now Bill O’Brien’s Nittany Lions and they are off to a disappointing start.

In front of 97,000 vocal fans eager to just watch football again, Penn State let an 11-point halftime lead slip away and Ohio Tyler quarterback Tettleton accounted for three second-half touchdowns to hand O’Brien a 24-14 loss in his coaching debut.

“I thought it was a great atmosphere in the stands,” O’Brien said before stoically taking responsibility for the loss. “Again, it starts with me and coaching better and making sure we play better next time.”

For many fans, just watching a game at Beaver Stadium represented a small victory following a trying offseason that included the death of former coach Joe Paterno, and crippling NCAA sanctions placed on the program for the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal.

“We are … Penn State,” the anxious crowd roared in the fourth quarter, even in the final minutes with defeat assured. It was the first loss to open a season for Penn State since falling 33-7 to Miami in 2001.

“It got everyone back together,” fan Lisa Weller, 48, of Charlotte, N.C., referring to the team and the massive Penn State fan base, said about Saturday’s game. “Everyone is going to move forward.’

Matt McGloin threw for 260 yards and two touchdowns guiding Penn State’s new-look offense.

There were some other changes, too: players’ names on the backs of the uniforms, and blue ribbons on the back of the helmets to show support for victims of child sexual abuse.

Long a model for stability, the scandal lurched the program into a rebuilding project no one expected a year ago.

Now Penn State is playing without someone named Paterno on the sideline for the first time since 1949. The late Hall of Famer arrived in Happy Valley as an assistant in 1950 and took over as head coach in 1966.

The man known in these parts as “JoePa” stayed on the job for 46 seasons before his firing last November days after Sandusky, his former defensive coordinator, was arrested.

Paterno’s widow, Sue Paterno, watched the game from a stadium suite.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Sunday, Sept. 2, the 246th day of 2012.

There are 120 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight: On Sept. 2, 1945, Japan formally surrendered in ceremonies aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay, ending World War II. On this date: In 1789, the United States Treasury Department was established.

In 1864, during the Civil War, Union Gen. William T. Sherman’s

forces occupied Atlanta.

In 1901, Vice President Theodore Roosevelt offered the advice, “Speak softly and carry a big stick” in a speech at the Minnesota State Fair.

In 1935, a Labor Day hurricane slammed into the Florida Keys, claiming more than 400 lives.

In 1944, during World War II, Navy pilot Lt. George Herbert Walker Bush was shot down by Japanese forces as he completed a bombing run over the Bonin

Islands. (Bush was rescued by the crew of the submarine USS Finback his two crew members, however, died.)

In 1945, Ho Chi Minh declared Vietnam an independent republic. (Ho died on this date in 1969.)

In 1969, in what some regard as the birth of the Internet, two connected computers at the University of California, Los Angeles, passed test data through a 15-foot cable.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — As the remnants of Hurricane Isaac pushed their way up the Mississippi valley on Saturday, spinning off severe thunderstorms and at least four tornadoes, some on the Gulf Coast were impatient with the pace of restoring power days after the storm dragged through the region.

While New Orleans streets were bustling again and workers were returning to offshore oil rigs, thousands of evacuees couldn’t return home to flooded low-lying areas of Louisiana and more than 400,000 sweltering electricity customers in the state remained without power.

Meanwhile, the National Weather Service said two tornadoes touched down in rural areas of north-central Illinois and at least two touched down in rural southeast Missouri. There were no reports of damage in Illinois, and Missouri

officials said some power lines caught on fire.

By midday Saturday, the storm had dumped up to 5 inches of rain in parts of Illinois. And the National Weather Service said it was bringing more rain and some drought relief to parts of the Mississippi and Ohio River Valleys.

In Louisiana, the number without power was down from more than 900,000. However, in heavily populated Jefferson Parish near New Orleans, parish president John Young said Entergy Corp. was too slow in restoring electricity.

“I don’t see boots on the ground,” said Young, who complained that he has seen repair trucks sitting idle in a staging area and fielded calls from residents and business owners complaining about a lack of progress.

“We’ve restored about 45 percent of our customers in about a day and a half, Entergy spokesman Chanel

Lagarde said. He added that crews have come in from 24 states. “In many situations, crews have driven all day and have worked their 16-hour day and have to rest for the day.”

New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu said he too was anxious to get power back on. “Like everybody else, my patience is wearing thin,” he said.

On Saturday afternoon, St. Tammany Parish officials ordered a mandatory evacuation of areas south of the Pearl River diversion canal, for fear a lock on a canal will fail. Parish authorities said the order could affect anywhere from several hundred to 2,000 residents in the rural area north of Slidell.

Parts of coastal Plaquemines Parish, where thousands were evacuated, remained under water. The National Weather Service has said Isaac dumped anywhere from 10 to 20 inches of rain on south Louisiana and south Mississippi.

For some, Labor Day still a workday Those on job on holidays say it’s worth inconvenience

BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com

L

abor Day typically marks a time of rest and relaxation. Unless, of course, you’re one of the few sched-

uled 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.

Her co-worker Stephanie Comer, 39, of Casstown is off Labor Day, but she’s worked her fair share of holidays throughout her two and a half years at UDF. Both women agreed that their manager Brandon Brookins is realistic when it comes to working on the holidays.

“He’s really fair about accommodating family needs,” Comer said. Added Johnson, “He’s good if you have kids about not working Christmas Day.” Being apart from their families is the most difficult part, both said.

Johnson has a 9-year-old son Matthew and an 11-year-old daughter Sahara with her husband of 13 years, Matthew. She said she is fortunate to be married to a man who keeps things in order when she’s away.

“He’s good at being mom — he’s great, fantastic,” Johnson said with a smile. “He cleans, he does laundry — he does everything. He’s a great man.”

Still, Johnson said spending time with her children is a necessity for her.

“I just make sure I see my kids during other times of the day,” she said. “The kids do mind it because they miss me, but they understand that if they need or want something, I need to work to get it.”

Comer, a shift leader, said she stepped down from her position as assistant manager to spend more time at home.

“Somebody has to do it, you know? The pay’s decent. But it’s nice to be with your family,” said Comer, mother of Michael, 15, and Gage, 12. “My view on it is, time spent with your family, you can’t get back.”

“Every other holiday, a coworker and I rotate,” said the Troy resident.

With five children, Wise said he refuses to work Christmas, though his co-worker is always willing to take it. Wise is the father of Brandon, 14, Hannah, 14, Nathan, 17, Jordan, 19, and Michael Sullenberger, 26.

NATURAL WANDERS

Autumn brings always surprising change Departing summer has assumed An aspect tenderly illumed …

—William Wordsworth, September The sight as I drove across the dam at Englewood the other evening was startling. I’d been stuck at home for nearly a week by work — catching up on some writing, doing several chores around the house, plus attending to a sudden medical issue with my beloved but aging dog.

I’d no idea the landscape had already undergone such change!

Yet there below my elevated view were countless trees glowing distinctly yellow in the gathering twilight. Not green … yellow!

Cottonwoods? Well, whatever they were, autumn was clearly moving into their foliage, beginning to exert its unmistakable forces. Chlorophyll was fading away, the underlying true leaf color beginning to assert its place. And it came as surprising news to me that such seasonal change was already so far under way.

Living where I do, on the banks of the Stillwater, summer’s green always lingers.

Maybe it’s due to our being tucked between hills to the east

Jim McGuire Troy Daily News Columnist and west. Or perhaps it’s the benefitting influence of extra moisture from the river.

Whatever the cause, the vegetation regularly reflects the fact we’re located within a sort of micro-climate.

Right now, when I look out my window at a view that covers a hundred yards downstream, I see nothing but green along both banks. The same green I’ve seen since being cloaked in by spring’s leaf-out.

Yet neighbors up the hill and a quarter mile away are noticing everywhere the first brushstrokes of autumnal color.

Perception is reality … at least until you take a short drive and learn otherwise.

I should know better, of course. There are calendars throughout the house, a current

almanac on my desk, and I’ve certainly been around the block a few times. Quite a few, frankly.

Seasonally speaking, I ought to know when to expect what.

And I do — intellectually. But my head doesn’t always communicate with my heart. Or maybe it does, and my heart just occasionally refuses to listen. All I know is the first wave of changing leaf color invariably catches me off guard.

“Already?” I say. “So soon?”

Watching my dear old dog struggle prompted the same thoughts, and for the same reasons. She just turned 14; quite the canine senior. My head knows there is change ahead … but my heart is having trouble accepting.

“Already? So soon?”

Part of my problem may stem from being more than a bit disoriented by our record-setting hot, dry summer. A summer which came prematurely, foreshortening spring, which was itself early, and arrived rather before it’s time on the heels of a strangely mild winter.

I’m a creature of habit and habitat. I’ve lived in Ohio all my life and have certain expectations as to what constitutes a proper Buckeye winter, spring, summer, or fall. Change is OK, so

long as it doesn’t deviate too far from this accustomed pattern and schedule.

However … weatherwise, these past nine months have been anything but routine. And for me, the seasons have felt weirdly out of whack since last fall.

In a normal year I’d now be excitedly focusing on what’s possibly my three all-time favorite outdoor pursuits — squirrel hunting, stream smallmouth fishing and far-flung expeditions to gather pawpaws. In-between these majors, I’d also be seeking to accomplish minors in hillcountry campouts, crappie fishing, and photo junkets to various prairies.

Alas, at the moment, none of these activities holds much interest — mainly because of where things stand with this new September when compared to similar September starts of the past.

It’s too hot to go squirrel hunting.

Rivers and creeks are pitifully low for enjoyable, guilt-free bronzeback fishing.

The pawpaw crop in the patches I’ve checked is sparse-tononexistent.

Prairies still appear unnaturally bland — more faded green

than dazzling with bright blooms.

Camping might be okay…but what would I do to occupy my days since I can’t squirrel hunt, bass fish the creeks, or poke around the hollows for pawpaws?

Which does, I suppose, leave crappie, though regular lake-fishing friends tell me that’s been slow, too.

Yeah, I know, I’m whining way too much — turning into a selfpitying curmudgeon. And for what? Just because I spotted a few trees glowing unexpectedly yellow in the twilight?

“The last of summer is delight,” wrote Emily Dickinson, “deterred by retrospect.”

Indeed. Time moves in only one direction. Just like life.

Looking back has its value; hindsight can teach us things by providing an opportunity to reflect and remember.

Yet danger, and certainly discomfort, can also await in what we conjure up and discover.

Retrospection often tastes bittersweet.

Better to view the inevitable with delight. To think positive, find the best in whatever lies ahead. September is here, autumn is creeping in, and change is all about.

Surprise can be good!

Paw preference tests can be fun for your pets

AP PHOTO/DAMIAN DOVARGANES

Gil Moreno, manager at Los Angeles County Animal Care Control Carson Shelter, performs a paw preference test with two unnamed Chihuahua dogs in Gardena, Calif., Aug. 21. Results will be determined by which paws the dogs use to remove a sticky substance that Moreno put on their noses.

A 2006 study from the University of Manchester in England showed dogs were split half-and-half.

About 90 percent of humans are right-handed and 10 percent are lefthanded.

Laterality the textbook term meaning one side of the brain is dominant over the other may someday help breeders predict which puppies will make the best military, service and therapy dogs, Schwartz said, and

that could be lifesaving.

But for now, here are a few simple tests you can do to determine your pet’s preference, she said. Doing it 100 times (over several days) should give you an answer, she said.

If you teach a dog to shake, which paw does it offer you first and most often?

Fill a toy with something delicious and put it in the center of the dog’s visual field. Which paw does it use

to touch the toy first? Which paw does the dog use to hold the toy?

Put something sticky on a dog or cat’s nose. Which paw does the animal use to remove it?

Place a treat or a piece of cheese under a sofa, just beyond a dog or cat’s reach.

Which paw does it use to try and get it out?

Dangle a toy over a cat’s head. Which paw does it lift to bat it?

Put a treat under a bowl.

Which paw does the cat or dog use to move it?

When a dog wants in the backdoor, which paw does it “knock” with?

Schwartz said there are a few things that might alter test results: If a dog has arthritis or an injury in a shoulder or leg, it could use the other to compensate.

When a cat really wants something, tests show it uses its dominant paw, but when it’s just fooling around, it may use either or both.

It’s possible that handedness in dogs, and maybe cats, will change over time as the animal’s motivation changes.

Luckily, the well-being of dogs and cats doesn’t depend on preference. The same cannot be said for horses, Crowell-Davis said.

In U.S. racing, horses only have to lean left

because all races are run counterclockwise on tracks, but in some competitions and in some other countries, horses have to race and canter both ways. “They have to be able to circle right and left. If not, they can trip,” Crowell-Davis said.

“You have to work to get them to take the lead they prefer less,” she said.

Crowell-Davis has never seen an advertisement promoting right- or left-pawed dogs or cats. “The only time you see it used in advertising is with horses. If a horse if being offered for sale, because of issues on the lead, it may say ‘Works well on both leads’ to emphasize the horse has had training.”

Robin A.F. Olson of Newtown, Conn., founder and president of Kitten Associates Inc., a rescue organization, said her cats are always reaching for toys or treats with one paw or another.

Olson said she was born left-handed, but her mother didn’t want her growing up left-handed in a world of right-handed people. “She always handed things to me close to my right hand. She always put the crayons in my right hand.”

There won’t be any such lessons for her cats, she said.

“I try not to be judgmental of my cats’ abilities or lack thereof. We will never worry about the anti-paw.”

It appears that Nora, an internationally acclaimed 8-year-old piano-playing tabby from Philadelphia, owned by piano teacher Betsy Alexander and her artist-photographer husband, Burnell Yow, is rightpawed. Yow studied her videos and “determined that she appears to lead with her right paw, then follow with her left,” Alexander said.

But she has her ambidextrous, headstrong moments.

“She uses both paws to reach for specific notes, even black notes … and she uses her head to roll a series of multiple notes.”

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

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Could your dog or cat be a southpaw?

Paw preference won’t make a dog or cat walk, talk or wink like a human. You won’t even get a high-five or a fist pump out of it, said Dr. Nick Dodman, director of the Animal Behavior Clinic in the Department of Clinical Sciences at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University in Massachusetts.

There’s the curiosity factor though, he said. “Wow, I thought that was something unique to people, and how weird to think the dog could be” left- or right-pawed.

Vets and owners agree that pets, including horses, have right and left preferences.

Researchers are studying things like right brain-left brain connections, genetics and sexual orientation that may one day change the way dogs and cats are bred, raised, trained and used, said Dr. Stefanie Schwartz of the Veterinary Neurology Center in Tustin, Calif., and a member of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists.

Some horses have to be ambidextrous, said Dr. Sharon Crowell-Davis, a behavior and anatomy professor in the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia.

A 1991 study at Ataturk University in Turkey showed 50 percent of cats were right-pawed, 40 percent were left-pawed and 10 percent were ambidextrous.

That study might be out-ofdate, Schwartz said, but it does provide percentages.

Colleges open their eyes: Zs are key to GPA

BY JUSTIN POPE Associated Press As college students return to campus in the coming weeks, they’ll be showered in the usual handouts of coupons, condoms and credit cards. But some schools are also giving students what a growing body of research reveals could make a huge difference in their college careers: ear plugs, sleep shades and napping lessons.

College health officials are finally realizing that healthy sleep habits are a potential miracle drug for much of what ails the famously frazzled modern American college student: anxiety, depression, physical health problems and more than most students realize academic troubles.

Some studies have found students getting adequate sleep average a full letter grade higher than those who don’t.

But adolescent biorhythms make it hard enough for college students to get the sleep they need, a recommended nine hours.

On top of that, campus life turns out to resemble a giant laboratory experiment designed for maximum sleep deprivation: irregular schedules, newfound freedom, endless social interaction, loud and crowded housing, late-night exercise and food washed down by booze, coffee energy drinks. Campuses pulsing with energy at midnight by mid-afternoon resemble Zombie U., with students dozing off in library chairs, on yoga mats and even in coffee shops.

Technology isn’t helping, with wireless Internet adding to the 24/7 distractions and students sleeping with their smart phones on.

That likely helps explain data showing college stu-

Campaigning last week, even President Barack Obama told some students at an Ohio State University diner that he assumed “you guys have arranged it so you don’t have really early morning classes.” No such luck. “Actually, I failed that,” one student replied, telling the president he had one at 8 a.m. the next day.

Now, some counselors and health officials are trying to get the message out in creative ways. At tiny Hastings College in Nebraska, student peer educators plop down a bed in the middle of the student union, dress themselves in pajamas, and talk to passers-by about sleep.

demic of something,” said director of health promotion Karen Newton).

Still, given the scope of sleeping problems, what’s surprising is that such efforts are exceptional.

Major, campus-wide campaigns appear rare or nonexistent. Experts say professors (and doctors) aren’t always good sleep role models. As for deans and administrators, many seem hesitant to tell parents who’ve just dropped $50,000 on tuition that the big push on campus this year will be for everyone to sleep more.

While awareness is growing, at most schools sleep efforts amount to a few posters on campus or perhaps a few lines in a quickly forgotten talk during orientation week. While about three-quarters of college students have indicated occasional sleep problems, the latest National College Health Assessment found about the same proportion reported receiving no information from their school about sleep (though it’s possible, in their sleepiness, some forgot).

“The average student is functioning with a clinical sleep disorder,” said LeeAnn Hamilton, assistant director of health promotion and preventive services at the University of Arizona, describing research conducted on students there.

They average about 6.5 hours per night (though students tend to over-report in such surveys). But sleep time and quality measurements declined over the course of the academic year, while anxiety, depression and conflict with family, friends and roommates all rose. Hamilton’s office has been sending students a “Snoozeletter” with sleep tips.

As described by junior Sara Campbell, residence

hall life at UA makes it hard even for students trying to sleep — constant late-night chattering, visitors coming and going, early morning cleaning crews running their vacuums. She aims to be asleep by 12:30 or so but was dumbfounded to find girls on her hall regularly pulling all-nighters for papers and exams basically, academic suicide, the research shows.

“Not to speak bad of them, but a lot of them are freshmen and just decided to wait ‘til the last minute,” she said. Her big challenge was managing with a roommate who tries to keep earlier hours; this year the pair are moving off-campus together where they’ll have separate bedrooms.

College mental health professionals are increasingly asking students about sleep right away, finding it’s often the low-lying fruit for helping students with a range of issues.

“When you find depression, even when you find anxiety, when you scratch the surface 80 to 90 percent of the time you find a sleep problem as well,” said University of Delaware psychologist Brad Wolgast.

Many students who think they have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder are often just sleep-deprived.

Some simple steps to improve “sleep hygiene” are usually far preferable to prescribing drugs like Ritalin or Adderall.

“On a campus they’re dealing with alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, Ritalin abuse, sexual assault,” Wolgast said. In comparison, sleep “looks like a small problem. But the truth is if I could wave a magic wand and change everybody’s sleep, there would be fewer problems with pretty much everything else.”

TRAVEL Love on tap MIAMI VALLEY SUNDAY NEWS • WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM

Virginia celebrating craft beer industry RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — From industrial outskirts of Richmond to the pastoral landscapes of the Blue Ridge Mountains and beyond, an army of artisans are turning their love of beer into business.

Armed with an arsenal of barley and hops, these craft brewers are looking to cash in on a growing interest in all things local, including alcoholic libations. And recent changes to state law are helping craft brewers grow their business.

With about 40 craft breweries in the state, Virginia pales in comparison to states like California, Oregon and Colorado. But craft brewers in Virginia hope to build on the success of the state’s wine industry, which has seen steady growth in recent years and continues to attract tourists seeking to enjoy the concoctions made by Virginia craftsmen.

For the first time, the state named by the Travel Channel as one of the Top 7 beer destinations in North America has designated August as Virginia Craft Beer month, highlighted by events at breweries, including a statewide festival and competition Saturday at the award-winning Devils Backbone Brewing Company in Nelson County.

“It’s exciting right now. … There’s been a real movement in the last five years,” said Mike Killelea, chairman of the Virginia Craft Brewers Guild and a brewer at Richmond’s Legend Brewing Co. for more than five years.

“Within about two years, you’re probably going to have a brewery within a short drive of pretty much every citizen in the commonwealth. … My hope is that people become more aware of the great beer scene here.”

With more than 2,125 breweries nationwide, craft brewers make up a nearly $9 billion industry and provide about 104,000 jobs across the country, according to the Brewers Association, the trade group representing the majority of U.S. brewing companies. And the industry, which sold about 11.5 million barrels of beer in 2011, has seen volumes grow 13 percent compared with 2010. By comparison, the overall U.S. beer market is estimated to be a $96 billion industry and sold nearly 200 million barrels of beer last year.

Larger brewers are even trying to capitalize on the craft brew craze.

Anheuser-Busch this summer introduced a beer named for the 23185 ZIP code, where the brewmaster at its Williamsburg facility created the smallbatch beer as part of a new Budweiser program called “Project 12.” The project created smallbatch beers at 12 of its breweries. After being pared down to six, consumer feedback will help pick the beers to be included in a limited-edition sampler pack this fall.

“Craft brewers have become known for their innovation, so they take

Rachael Cardwell cleans barrels at the Hardywood Park Craft Brewery in Richmond, Va., Aug. 20. From industrial outskirts of Richmond to the pastoral landscapes of the Blue Ridge Mountains and beyond, an army of Virginia artisans are turning their love of beer into business.

With about 40 craft breweries in the state, Virginia pales in comparison to states like California, Oregon and Colorado. But craft brewers in Virginia hope to build on the success of the state's wine industry, which has seen steady growth in recent years and continues to attract tourists seeking to enjoy the concoctions made by Virginia craftsmen.

old world beer styles and have pushed the envelope packing more flavor … and doing modern twists on classic styles that often now have created completely different new world styles of beer,” said Julia Herz, the craft beer program director at the Brewers Association.

While the number of craft breweries is expected to grow in Virginia and nationwide, the startup can be a difficult road, Herz said. But the reward of taking something they love and turning into a business comes in the form of a pint glass.

“Being a brewer is their version of the American dream,” Herz said. “That American dream … is extended to for many, that ‘Hey, I want to be in a business, pay my bills, be creative and be a positive influence on the community around me.’”

Killelea and the staff at Legend, which opened in the early 1990s, have helped pave the way for younger breweries.

Changes in state law that went into effect in July now allow craft breweries to sell their products by the pint in their taprooms rather just bottled for retail sales also are helping brewers bring in more revenue. Social media also has made it easier to promote brands, and distributors have become more craft-beer savvy, he said.

Patrick Murtaugh and Eric McKay opened Hardywood Park Craft Brewery in Richmond last October, hoping to capitalize on the area’s population growth, large number of independent restaurants, emphasis on local products and an interest in adventurous activities like kayaking, mountain biking and hiking. Since then, they’ve begun to

ramp up production of more than a dozen beers some hand-bottled and sold commercially, others only to be enjoyed on tap at the brewery.

Thanks to the changes in state law, the brewery went from being able to only serve small samples their beers four times a year after getting state Alcohol and Beverage Control permits, to opening up a tasting room, hosting several events to premiere new styles and gathering local food trucks for evening festivals with food, beer and music.

They’ve also placed an emphasis on using local ingredients like hops, honey and berries, which

often come at a premium cost.

“While the economics don’t always make sense from a sheer business standpoint, (consumers are) willing to pay just a

tiny bit a more to have something that helps in other ways to support the local economy while showcasing the creativity and passion of others,” McKay said.

According to Murtaugh, financial concerns haven’t always been at the center of the craft brewing industry. “(It’s) one of those things that most likely

has started in a kitchen somewhere or on a back porch like it has for us,” he said.

“I always tell people it’s sort of a hobby that’s gotten out of hand.”

FIVE BEST: PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLERS

Craig Zobel picks 5 great psychological thrillers LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Compliance� is the rare film that’s caused me to do a total 180 on how I feel about it.

The psychological thriller about a fast-food manager (Ann Dowd) instructed by a prank phone caller (Pat Healy) to lead a young, female employee (Dreama Walker) through a series of increasingly degrading investigative steps made me squirm in frustration as I was watching it. I knew it was based on true events, but was incredulous that any situation could get this far. How stupid can people be? I wondered.

But the more I thought about it, the more impressed I found myself with the mastery of tension and tone writer-director Craig Zobel displayed, and with

the precise performances he drew from his actors. “Compliance� stuck with me, challenged me and changed my mood in a way most films don’t, and it’s been prompting similarly strong and sometimes vocal responses from audiences since its Sundance premiere.

As the film expands this week, Zobel was nice enough to pick five of his own favorite psychological thrillers. Here he is, in his own words: • “The Silence of the Lambsâ€? (1991): This film is an amazing blend of creepy and tense that makes me hold my breath no matter how many times I watch it. The performances and filmmaking are all just amazing. And the script with

FILM REVIEW

Clarice, its complex protagonist, and its twin monsters of Lecter and Jame Gumb is really impeccable. One of those rare films that totally surpasses its source novel. If you haven’t seen it recently, find it and watch it again. It not only holds up, but I pretty much guarantee it’ll be one of the creepiest and best films you’ve seen. • “Repulsionâ€? (1965): Which Polanski? “Knife In The Waterâ€? quickly jumps to mind. But remember that part in “Repulsionâ€? where Catherine Deneuve’s sister has gone on vacation with her married boyfriend, and the dude has accidentally left one of his shirts in their apartment? And how Deneuve takes the shirt of the

philanderer and just smells it for a long time? What a weird way to react to someone you hate. Add the fact that she wanders around with a dead rabbit in her purse for half the movie, and you’ve gotta put that on the list. • “The Conversationâ€?

(1974): I love “The Conversation.�

This movie rocked me the first time I saw it. Gene Hackman plays a man so sure of what he knows, that his mind (and apartment) becomes entirely dismantled as he finds out the lesson of “assume nothing.â€? I also love how it’s basically a faithful remake of Antonioni’s “Blow Up.â€? But rainier. • “Don’t Look Nowâ€? (1973): For people who only like things that make complete sense, maybe

this isn’t the first movie on this list you should watch. But Nicolas Roeg’s deconstructed, fractured editing is at its best here, and Donald Sutherland is at his most moody/cool. If psychological thrillers are all about tone, this film is the definition of foreboding. It also makes a terrifying case for not allowing any short people to ever wear red hoodies. • “Rear Windowâ€? (1954): You could basically do a list of psychological thrillers where it was just all Hitchcock. Talk about a dude’s bread and butter. But man, was he great at it. However, I sorta feel like “Rear Windowâ€? is unique — its structure is so simple yet tense that its influence can be felt in almost all examples of the genre to follow it.

FILM REVIEW

‘Good Time’ provides exactly that The whole point of calling a phone-sex line is that you know what you’re getting, right? You pick up the phone, pay your money and partake in some, um, selfsatisfaction. It’s a sure thing. Everyone hangs up happy.

With the comedy “For a Good Time, Call ‌,â€? you only think you know what you’re getting. It looks like total formula and for a little while, at least feels like it, with its broad types who are complete opposites getting thrown together in a contrived, high-concept situation: operating a phonesex business out of a Manhattan apartment they’re forced to share.

But the actresses playing the two lead characters Ari Graynor and Lauren Anne Miller have such a light and lovely chemistry with each other, and director Jamie Travis keeps things moving so briskly, you find yourself not minding how by-the-numbers the story is. And then within that by-the-numbers story, there end up being enough surprises and subversive twists that you find yourself unexpectedly charmed.

Miller co-wrote “For a Good Time, Call ‌â€? with her college roommate, Katie Anne Naylon, who really did run a phone-sex line out of her dorm room because she needed the cash. Comparisons to last year’s hugely successful “Bridesmaidsâ€? are inevitable, given that it features women saying and doing the sort of raunchy things that previously had been the staples of Judd Apatow’s bro-centric oeuvre. They actually finished their script before “Bridesmaidsâ€? had even been shot, but the two films do share a wonderfully honest exploration of close female friendship, and how discovering another woman who truly “getsâ€? you can carry all the thrills of falling in love.

Graynor and Miller’s characters are miles apart emotionally, though, at the film’s start. Graynor’s Katie is a brassy party girl with a

wardrobe full of animal prints and a stripper pole in the middle of her living room who pays the bills through random jobs.

Miller’s Lauren is conservative and precise, all headbands and innocent nighties, a young woman of privilege who had her entire life mapped out including, she thought, marriage to her longtime boyfriend, Charlie (James Wolk).

Then Charlie coldly dumps her, calls her “boring� and kicks her out of their apartment before moving to Italy for the summer, leaving Lauren with no place to live. When her best gay pal (Justin Long, doing it up big but not too big) suggests he has a roommate for her, she’s shocked to find it’s Katie, her college nemesis. But Katie is just as desperately in need of a roommate to avoid being kicked out of her own place.

And so voila. We have a premise.

Naturally, they clash at first, but eventually learn to tolerate each other. Then, when Lauren discovers that Katie is moaning and groaning into the telephone for one of her many gigs, she realizes that with her business acumen, they could both make a whole lot more money. And naturally, Lauren will eventually end up answering the phone herself in a rebellious shedding of her goodgirl image.

The curvy and vivacious Graynor, who’s stood out in supporting roles in films including “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist� and “Celeste and Jesse Forever,� has a hugely likable and very different kind of presence as a leading lady. And Miller, who has an undeniable sweetness and accessibility about her, plays beautifully off Graynor and is every bit her comic equal.

For the most part, “For a Good Time, Call ‌â€? is exactly as advertised. “For a Good Time, Call ‌,â€? a Focus Features release, is rated R for strong sexual content throughout, language and some drug use. Running time: 89 minutes. Three stars out of four.

Fifty shades of erotica among fall book selections NEW YORK (AP) — The “Fifty Shades” phenomenon may only get hotter this fall.

Booksellers and publishers expect at least a dozen novels to benefit from E L James’ multimillion-selling erotic trilogy, a list-topper since early spring, and new ones continue to be acquired. Releases likely to catch on include Sylvain Reynard’s “Gabriel’s Inferno” and “Gabriel’s Rapture,” Sylvia Day’s “Reflected in You” and a compilation of Harlequin novellas unsubtly titled, “12 Shades of Surrender.”

Just in the past two weeks, St. Martin’s Press took on Sara Fawkes’ selfpublished hit, “Anything He Wants (Dominated by the Billionaire),” and Gallery Books, a Simon & Schuster imprint, signed up Jennifer Probst’s “The Marriage Bargain.”

Open Road Integrated Media, a digital publisher, announced it would release the popular “Eighty Days” trilogy, written by a “well-known publishing insider” and a “familiar figure in London’s fetish scene” collectively known as Vina Jackson.

“We’re in a moment of time, let’s put it that way,” says Louise Burke, Gallery’s publisher and executive vice president.

“There’s a flurry of agents coming to us with books.”

Cindy Hwang, executive editor at Berkley Books and Sylvia Day’s publisher, says that thanks to “50 Shades” the door between erotica and mainstream fiction has been “kicked down completely.” The market, “this fascination with the uberrich,” demands more masters of the universe, at least

fictional ones.

Still, Hwang adds, “there will be other kinds of books.”

New novels are coming from James Patterson, Mitch Albom, Michael Connelly, Dennis Lehane, John Grisham and Patricia Cornwell. J.K. Rowling will find out how many of her adult “Harry Potter” fans are game for a book without wizards with “The Casual Vacancy.” Justin Cronin follows his best-selling “The Passage” with “The Twelve,” the second of a planned trilogy.

Ken Follett has a pair of projects: A TV miniseries of his epic Medieval saga “World Without End” is scheduled to air on Reelz Channel starting in October. And his new novel, “Winter of the World,” is the second of his “Century” trilogy on war. The author explained during a recent interview that “Winter of

the World,” a World War II story running nearly 1,000 pages, was as an education for him.

“Before I started ‘Winter of the World,’ I didn’t know that the Nazis had killed thousands of handicapped people, that was completely new to me” he says. “World War II has been done so many times before that I needed to find something new. And I was so shocked and horrified by this program that as soon as I read about it I knew I had to use it.”

Tom Wolfe, who helped define 1980s New York in “The Bonfire of the Vanities,” has set the 650page crime story “Back to Blood” in the contemporary “melting pot” of Miami, a sprawling canvas “full of hard cases who just won’t melt.” Michael Chabon keeps it close to home with “Telegraph Avenue,” named for the famous stretch of his

longtime residence, Berkeley, Calif. Zadie Smith’s “NW” is another local story, set in northwest London, where the author grew up.

Salman Rushdie’s “Joseph Anton” is a memoir which for its title uses Rushdie’s alias when he was in hiding after Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini called for his death for the alleged blasphemy of “The Satanic Verses.” Chinua Achebe’s “There Was a Country” is a long-awaited memoir about the 1960s civil war in his native Nigeria. Short stories will come from Pulitzer Prize winner Junot Diaz and from an acknowledged master of the form, Alice Munro.

“There’s … a great finality to stories,” Diaz, whose novel “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao” won the Pulitzer in 2008, wrote in an email to The Associated Press. “You’re in the world of them for a very short period and then they eject you out. Very bracing, a reminder of how life sometimes works.”

Rushdie’s ally Christopher Hitchens died of cancer last December, but his name will appear on a handful of books. Hitchens’ essays about his fatal illness will be published as “Mortality.” Martin Amis has dedicated “Lionel Asbo,” a dark farce set in London, to his close friend, as did Ian McEwan for his novel “Sweet Tooth.” Meanwhile, two books will feature the late David Foster Wallace: Wallace’s essay collection “Both Flesh and Not” and D.T. Max’s biography “Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story.”

Patricia Bostelman,

Barnes & Noble Inc.’s (NYSE:BKS) vice president of marketing, notes a wave of Kennedy books, including David Nasaw’s in-depth biography of patriarch Joseph P. Kennedy and White House tapes of John F. Kennedy, with daughter Caroline Kennedy providing an introduction. Bill O’Reilly looks into the darkest days with “Killing Kennedy,” a follow-up to his million-selling “Killing Lincoln.” More on the Kennedys may come from an estranged in-law, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and his memoir “Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story.”

Bob Woodward’s “The Price of Politics” will test the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist’s skill for scoops; Woodward promises a close, inside account of President Barack Obama’s economic policies, a subject in recent years of Ron Suskind’s “Confidence Men,” Noam Scheiber’s “The Escape Artists” and other books.

Former FDIC chair Sheila Bair will give her version of the financial crisis in “Bull by the Horns.”

The May 2011 killing of Osama bin Laden will be remembered firsthand in “No Easy Day” by Mark Owen, a pseudonym for a former Navy SEAL (believed to be Matt Bissonnette) who was part of the historic raid in Pakistan. Bin Laden’s death has been a highlight of Obama’s term, but The New York Times’ “Five Thirty Eight” pollster Nate Silver doubts the book or any others, Woodward’s included will have an impact on the election, even if it’s critical of the presi-

dent.

“Political books don’t usually have much effect in the short term. They seep into the culture and can affect things in ways that are hard to perceive,” says Silver, whose book on predictions, “The Signal and the Noise,” comes out in September. “(Baseball statistician) Bill James has said the way you know you’re really influential is when people start to cite your ideas without giving you any credit. It just becomes common knowledge.”

Jeffrey Toobin’s “The Oath” is a review of the current Supreme Court, right through Chief Justice John Roberts’ startling decision in June to uphold much of Obama’s health care legislation. Jon Meacham, the Random House editor and Pulitzer winner for his Andrew Jackson biography, has written “Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power.”

The book, which includes blurbs from such top historians as Gordon Wood and Doris Kearns Goodwin, was conceived in 2008, the year of Obama’s election.

“The appeal of the Jefferson book was in part of the emergence of a tall, cool, celebral president who affected a dislike for politics, but was awfully good at it,” says Meacham, a former Newsweek editor. “I also wanted to do my bit to redeem politics and politicians. ‘Politicians’ should not be an epithet; we have to trust our public affairs to somebody. I do think if people see that even Thomas Jefferson was a flawed politician doing the best he could, then perhaps there is hope for politicians today.”

MORTGAGE WATCH

Rates fall to 3.59% WASHINGTON (AP) — Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages fell this week and are just slightly above record lows reached earlier this year. The low rates have contributed to a modest housing recovery.

Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the rate on the 30-year loan declined to 3.59 percent, down from 3.66 percent last week.

Five weeks ago, the rate fell to 3.49 percent, the lowest since long-term mortgages began in the 1950s.

tic with the refined, the precious with the everyday. One of my favorite ways to do this is to create dining tables that are full of contrasts.

It’s not as hard to pull off as you might think. All you need to do is pair accents that look old, aged and raw with those that are more precious and polished. We used a weather-worn birdbath as the base of our centerpiece.

Then we topped it with an outdoor lantern encircled with twists of honeysuckle vine.

The “tablecloth” was really a sheet of moss cut to fit the table. How cool is that, and how completely unexpected!

When dinner is done, you could just toss the tablecloth in the compost pile. We tucked in a few faux potted topiaries and garden-fence finials to carry on our garden theme.

Once you have the “gritty” elements in place on your outdoor table, add pieces that are more delicate. I like to use some of my most beautiful dining pieces on my outdoor table because it’s so unexpected and daring. Bring out your china, crystal, silver and fine linens, and laden your table in opulence.

Before my guests are seated for dinner, I like to encourage them to mingle. One of the best ways to encourage guests to move about is to tempt them with food and drinks. All it takes is a few strategically placed appetizer and drink stations. In fall, nature is one of the best places to find accents for your dinner table.

Go to your local famers market or pumpkin patch and get an assortment of pumpkins and gourds. In addition to the traditional orange pumpkins, you’ll likely find those that are green, white, yellow and red. And you’ll have your pick of gourds in a mix of shapes and colors, gnarly and warty and cooler than ever. Place a pumpkin or a gourd on a candlestick or fill an apothecary jar with a SHNS PHOTO COURTESY NELL HILL’S bird’s nest and a few feathers, Once you have the “gritty” elements in place on your outdoor to mention a couple of possitable, you are ready to add the pieces that are more delicate. bilities.

HOUSE HUNTING

Is your local real estate market recovering?

Prices may not be rising, but selling close to asking price is a positive sign Surprisingly, economists generally agree that the housing market appears to be bottoming out this summer and should improve in 2013. Although home price increases are expected to be modest, and in some cities home prices are still declining, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller home price data, prices appear to be holding.

Despite Conference Board reports that consumer confidence dropped in June for the fourth month in a row, a recent survey by Fannie Mae revealed that 73 percent of the 1,001 Americans asked believe that it is a good time to buy a home. Factors contributing to this are record low interest rates — in the mid-3 percent range in mid-July — and home prices at 2002 levels in some areas making housing more affordable.

Recent increases in rents and low vacancies also contribute to buyers once again favoring buying rather than renting. The Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University recently released its “State of the Housing” study, which reported that housing markets show “definitive signs of a turnaround.” With low housing affordability and increasing rents, it’s now cheaper to own a home rather than rent the same home, according to the study.

With recent speculation suggesting that we could be headed for a recession, many prospective homebuyers are still not convinced that now is the time to buy a home. However, if rents are rising and the inventory of rentals on the market is very low, buying becomes an attractive option even though the economy may stumble.

Some economists suggest that the housing market has improved so much that it is no longer the drag on the economy it has been for the past six years.

Homebuilders are building again, although some are building with an eye to renting rather than selling. Nevertheless, this puts more people to work and helps support the economy as was traditionally its role until the 2006 downturn.

A major factor in the improved

Dian Hymer For the Miami Valley Sunday News housing market is the reduction of inventory of homes for sale.

According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the inventory dropped nationally 20.6 percent from a year ago in April.

Last April, there was a 9.1-month supply; in April 2012, supply dropped to 6.6 months. A sixmonth supply is considered to be a normal or balanced market.

HOUSE HUNTING TIP: National statistics are too general to rely on for determining whether your local market is stabilizing, moving up or declining. Even though the number of purchase contracts signed nationally in May was up 13 percent from a year ago, the percent of new contracts signed may have been fewer in your area. However, lower home sales don’t necessarily result in lower sale prices.

Some of the markets that suffered the most during the housing recession are now the best places for sellers. A recent study by Zillow, a real estate information company, ranked the 50 largest metro areas to determine whether buyers or sellers had an advantage.

The top 10 seller’s markets included: San Jose, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Sacramento, Phoenix, Riverside, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Salt Lake City and Austin. According to Zillow, a seller’s market is not one in which prices are rising, but where price cuts are uncommon and homes sell for near their asking price. This is not to say that prices aren’t rising in some areas.

Dian Hymer is a nationally syndicated real estate columnist and author of “House Hunting: The Take-Along Workbook for Home Buyers” and “Starting Out, The Complete Home Buyer’s Guide.”

Next, ring the center item with a grouping of similar accents. They could be anything, like mums planted in assorted pots, large pumpkins and gourds, or a mixture of vases holding sunflowers. We picked white pottery pieces, from chalices to vases. For color, we filled the vases with bouquets of orange flowers, like roses and lilies. The repetitive color and clean lines of the pottery knit the pieces together, but the dissimilar sizes and shapes of each piece add visual excitement.
