GOP looks to distinguishRomney from Ryan budget

BY KEN THOMASAssociated Press

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (AP) — MittRomney’s campaign sought to put somedistance Sunday between the presidentialcandidate and his new running mate’scontroversial budget proposals, even asPaul Ryan’s selection energized Republi-can voters and Romney himself.But President Barack Obama’s cam-

paign made clear they planned to aggres-sively cast Ryan’s budget as outside the

mainstream — and argue that Romneynow owns that plan, too.“Gov. Romney is at the top of the ticket.

And Governor Romney’s vision for thecountry is something that CongressmanRyan supports,” Romney spokesmanKevin Madden said Sunday during abriefing for reporters.Ed Gillespie, a senior adviser to the Re-

publican campaign, said Romney wouldhave signed Ryan’s budget if landed onhis desk as president. But he emphasizedthat as president Romney would “be put-

ting forward his own budget.”The Romney campaign’s efforts to

draw that distinction underscored the po-litical risk in picking Ryan, the architectof an austere, long-term budget plan re-making Medicare and cutting trillions infederal spending.DavidAxelrod,Obama’s senior adviser,

cast Ryan as a “right wing ideologue”whowants to convert Medicare into a voucherplan and put the popular health-care pro-gram for the elderly in “a death spiral.”

room for abuse.”The most common

reason a voter must casta provisional ratherthan a regular ballot onElection Day is becausethey have not updatedtheir address prior to thevoter registration dead-line. Provisional voters’ballots must be verifiedfor eligibility in the daysfollowing an election be-fore they can be includedin the official tally.Husted noted that hadthis system been in placeduring the 2008 presi-dential election, an esti-mated 130,000 voterswho cast a provisionalballot could have takenadvantage of this con-venience and voted aregular ballot.

‘Positive step’“With more voters ex-

pected to participate inthe presidential election,it follows that there willbe more provisional bal-lots. My hope is thatmore Ohioans will takeadvantage of the newOnline Change of Ad-dress System so they canvote a regular ballot,”Husted said. “This is an-other positive step inmaking Ohio electionsrun better.”

All Ohioans of votingage will be able to use thesite; however, in order toupdate an address online,the individual must al-ready be a registeredvoter and must providefour identification keysthat exactly matchwhat’s in Ohio’sStatewide Voter Regis-tration Database, includ-ing their last name, Ohiodriver’s license number,the last four digits oftheir Social Securitynumber and their date ofbirth. If a voter does notmeet these requirements,they will be able to printand complete a voter reg-

istration/change of ad-dress form to mail it in totheir county board ofelections office.To ensureas many voters as possi-ble are able to updatetheir information online,the Secretary of State’soffice is working with theOhio Bureau ofMotorVe-hicles (BMV) to sharedata. Every month, theBMV provides identifica-tion information to com-plete voter records.Currently, more than 6million of Ohio’s regis-tered voters will be ableto change their addressonline.

Upon completing theonline process, thevoter’s county board ofelections will send out anotice to confirm thechange in address andprovide the voter withtheir new polling placeand precinct informationfor Election Day.

ApplicationVoters who get their

address updated betweennow and the first week ofOctober will also be inline to receive an applica-tion to vote by mail forthe November presiden-tial election — an initia-tive Husted is sponsoringto ensure votersstatewide have equal op-portunity to participate,whether they choose tovote early, by mail or onElection Day.

“This November alleyes will be on Ohio, andwe voters have impor-tant decisions to make.As chief elections officer,I want to ensure Ohio’svoting process is accessi-ble, accurate and secureso that we can all haveconfidence in the re-sults,” Husted said.

OXFORD (AP) — AMiami University profes-sor remembers Paul Ryanas an already conserva-tive thinker who loved toask questions and learnmore about economic the-ories.

Economics professorRich Hart had Ryan inclass some 20 years beforethe Wisconsin congress-man became Mitt Rom-ney’s vice presidentialpick Saturday. He saysRyan came to college fun-damentally conservative,and at the Ohio collegehoned his beliefs in lim-ited government and theimportance of individualfreedoms

Hart says Ryan stoodout as not only verysmart, but intellectuallycurious as a student.

Ryan studied econom-ics and political science atMiami, graduating in1992.He returned to cam-pus in 2009 as commence-ment speaker, saying histime atMiami helped himfind himself and put himon the path to public serv-ice after his father’s death.

Word of the Weekfair— A fair (archaic: fayre) is agathering of people to display ortrade produce or other goods, toparade or display animals and oftento enjoy associated carnival or fun-fair entertainment. It is normally ofthe essence of a fair that it is tem-porary; some last only an afternoonwhile others may last as long as tenweeks. Activities at fairs vary widely.Some trade fairs are important reg-ular business events where eitherproducts are traded between busi-nesspeople, as at the FrankfurtBook Fair, where publishers sellbook rights in other markets toother publishers, or where productsare showcased to largely consumerattendees, as for example in agri-cultural districts where they presentopportunities to display and demon-strate the latest machinery on themarket to farmers.Fairs are also known by many

different names around the world,such as agricultural show, fête,county fair, exhibition or state fair,festival, market and show. Flea mar-kets and auto shows are some-times incorporated into a fair.

Carnivals consist of games, rides,shows, feasting, and overall merri-ment, which developed from the tra-ditional outdoor festivals of Europein honor of seasonal changes orreligious holidays that date backhundreds of years ago.

Fairs are large theme based eventsheld to promote and present agri-cultural, commercial, industrial, andartistic exhibits to fairgoers whilealso providing the fun and amuse-ment of carnivals.

The traveling carnival began inAmerica in the late 1800’s as aresult of improved transportationand technology.

A famous American carnival is theMardi Gras, which is held in latewinter in New Orleans, Louisiana. Itwas introduced to America onMarch 3, 1699 by French explorer,Iberville.

Fair Fun Facts

The fair is an ancient tradition, and many com-munities have long had dedicated fairgrounds;others hold them in a variety of public places,including streets and town squares, or even inlarge private gardens. Fairs are often held in con-junction with a significant event, such as theanniversary of a local historical event, a seasonalevent such as harvest time, or with a holiday suchas Christmas.In Roman times, fairs were holidays on which

there was an intermission of labor and pleadings.In the Middle Ages many fairs developed as tem-porary markets, and were especially important forlong-distance and international trade, as whole-sale traders traveled, sometimes for many days,for pre-arranged fairs where they could be sure tomeet those they needed to buy from or sell to.They were usually tied to a special Christian reli-gious occasion (particularly the anniversary dedi-cation of a church). Tradesmen would bring andsell their wares, even in the churchyards. Suchfairs might then continue annually, usually on thefeast day of the patron saint to whom the churchwas dedicated. This custom was kept up until thereign of Henry VI, by which time there were agreat many fairs kept on these patronal festivals,for example at Westminster on St. Peter's day, atSmithfield on St. Bartholomew's (the famousBartholomew Fair, celebratedin Ben Jonson's play of thesame name) and at Durham onSt. Cuthbert's day. The KumbhMela, held every 12 years, atAllahabad, Haridwar, Nashikand Ujjain is one of the largestfairs in India, where more than60 million people gathered inJanuary 2001, making it thelargest gathering anywhere inthe world. In the United States,fairs draw in as many as 150million people each summer.One example of the Americancounty fair being featured in afamous piece of literature is inE. B. White's Charlotte's Web.Children's competitions at anAmerican fair range frombreeding small animals torobotics, while the organization4-H has become a traditionalassociation.

Many people like to catch fish for sport. Others like to keepfish as pets.

• Look up “fish” in an encyclopedia to see the many types of fishthat live in the ocean. If you could pick one for a pet, which onewould it be? Draw your pet fish in the fish bowl below. Then cutand paste letters from the newspaper to spell your pet fish’s name.

Fish are very important to human beings. They providefood for us to eat. Plus, big fish eat little fish, and little fisheat plants. This is called a food chain, and it helps keepnature in balance.

any animals live in the ocean. Themost common are fish. Fish live inthe water their whole lives. They

have fins to swim and gills to breatheunder water. Fish come in all shapes andsizes. Some are flat, and some can blowthemselves up like balloons.

Fish come in all colors, too. The variety of fish that live inthe ocean make it one of the most interesting places onEarth.

CLEVELAND (AP) — JohnWise watched a tear roll down hiswife’s face as he stood alongsideher bed in the intensive care unit.She’d been unable to speak aftersuffering a stroke and seemed tobe blinking to acknowledge him,Wise confided to a friend who haddriven him to the hospital.The couple had been married

45 years and Wise told his friendthat they had agreed long agothey didn’t want to live out theiryears bedridden and disabled.So a week after BarbaraWise’s

stroke, investigators say, her hus-band fired a single round into herhead. She died the next day, lead-ing prosecutors to charge the 66-year-old man with aggravatedmurderWednesday in what policesuspect was a mercy killing.The shooting leaves authori-

ties in a dilemma some expertssay will happen with greater fre-quency in coming years as thebaby boom generation ages —what is the appropriate punish-ment when a relative kills a lovedone to end their suffering?More often than not, a hus-

band who kills an ailing wifenever goes to trial and lands aplea deal with a sentence thatcarries no more than a few years

in prison, research has shown. Insome instances, there are nocharges.“It’s a tragedy all around that

the law really isn’t designed toaddress,” said Mike Benza, whoteaches law at Case Western Re-serve University in Cleveland.A NewYork man in March was

sentenced to six months in jailafter suffocating his 98-year-olddisabled mother and slitting hisown wrists. He told authorities hehad just been told he had cancerand believed he was going to diesoon, and feared no one wouldcare for his mom. A Washingtonstate man accused of shooting histerminally ill wife this year toldinvestigators she had begged himto kill her; he is free on bail whileprosecutors weigh charges.Almost always, there are

deeper issues involved with theaccused, including depression,their own health problems andthe stress of taking care of adying spouse, said Donna Cohen,head of the Violence and InjuryPrevention Program at the Uni-versity of South Florida.Seeing a dying or disabled

spouse suffering can be enough topush someone over the edge, saidCohen, who is writing a bookcalled “Caregivers Who Kill.”“Men will hit a wall when they

can’t do anything else,” she said.“That’s usually a trigger.”She worries this will happen

more often with longer life ex-pectancies and a continuingshortage of mental health serv-ices for older people.In the early 2000s, testifying a

Florida legislative committee,Cohen cited research showingthat two in five homicide-suicidesin the state involved people 55and older. The number of casesgrew among older people whilestaying the same with thoseunder 55.Police say Wise took a taxi

from his home in Massillon,calmly walked into his 65-year-old wife’s room onAug. 4 at AkronGeneral Medical Center withoutdrawing any attention, and shother.Juries are often sympathetic to

those who kill a spouse out ofwhat is portrayed to be love andcompassion, but the message thatsends is unclear, said Wesley J.Smith, a California lawyer whowrote a 2006 book “Forced Exit:Euthanasia,Assisted Suicide andthe New Duty to Die.”“Where’s the stopping point?”

he said. “There almost comes tobecome a cultural acceptance thatcertain people are better off deadthan alive.”

DAYTON (AP) — De-mocrats in MontgomeryC o u n t yp lannedSunday tocome upwith a re-p l a c e -m e n tcandidatefor anOhio law-m a k e rwho with-drew from running for re-election.The county party’s

central committee sched-uled a meeting late Sun-day afternoon to replacestate Rep. ClaytonLuckie on the Novemberballot. Luckie droppedout Friday, a day afterthe Franklin CountyProsecutor Ron O’Briensaid Luckie was underinvestigation. The prose-cutor has said little otherthan that the probe does-n’t involve bribery.Luckie remains in of-

fice. He had been seekinga fourth term.Whoever is chosen will

run against Iraq war vet-eran and Republican JeffWellbaum of Kettering,in the 39th District.Former Dayton Mayor

Rhyne McLin took hername out of considera-tion for the Democratic

slot, the Dayton DailyNews reported(http://bit.ly/RJo2N4 ).The former state legisla-tor said she is focused onrunning for Dayton citycommission next year.Former state legisla-

tor Fred Strahorn wasalso mentioned as a pos-sible candidate.The OhioDemcratic Party advisersaid he was interested inrunning for the seat.And Mark Owens, the

county party chairman,said retired Army officerVic Harris had also ex-pressed interested.The House district in-

cludes much of Dayton.Luckie issued a state-

ment Thursday under-scoring that theinvestigation isn’t relatedto bribery, but to “errorson some reports that arecurrently being ad-dressed.”He did not say what

types of reports had er-rors.“I take these matters

very seriously and haveinstructed my team toconduct a full review ofthe reports in question,”he said. “Out of respectfor the process, I will notbe addressing any ques-tions until my team hascompleted their analy-sis.”

BY BILL BARROWAssociated Press

ATLANTA (AP) —Tea party activists inGeorgia helped kill aproposed sales tax in-crease that would haveraised billions of dollarsfor transportation proj-ects. In Pennsylvania,tea partyers pushed tohave taxpayers sendpublic school children toprivate schools. In Ohio,they drove a referendumto block state health in-surance mandates.These and other bat-

tles are evidence of thelatest phase of the con-servative movement, in-fluencing state and localpolicy, perhaps more ef-fectively than on a na-tional level. Tea partyorganizers are refocus-ing, sometimes withoutthe party label, to buildbroader support for theirinitiatives. The strategyhas produced victoriesthat activists say prove

their staying power.“I call it Tea Party

2.0,” said Amy Kremer, aDelta flight attendantwho leads Tea Party Ex-press. The California-based group, co-foundedby GOP strategist SalRusso, claims it’s thelargest tea party politi-cal action committee.The movement first

showed its strength inWashington in 2009 asan umbrella for votersangry over PresidentGeorge W. Bush’s WallStreet rescue and Presi-dent Barack Obama’sstimulus package andauto manufacturerbailout, as well as thehealth care debate.The tea party has

helped elect members ofthe House, but they’vecontributed to the stale-mate on Capitol Hill. Nosingle Republican presi-dential candidate cap-tured tea partyers’wholehearted support,despite angst over Mitt

Romney and his moder-ate record while Massa-chusetts governor.Without a clear rival,Romney, author of thestate health care over-haul that served as amodel for Obama’s,emerged from a crowdedfield to challenge theDemocratic incumbent inNovember. Romney gavethe hard right at least asymbolic win by announc-ing Wisconsin Rep. PaulRyan, a tea party hero, ashis running mate Satur-day.“What we’ve been

doing is maturing,” Kre-mer said. “We are not outhaving rallies with allthese signs with thou-sands of people.The workis happening on theground.”In Georgia, anti-tax

activists from tea partiesand other conservativegroups helped persuadevoters across much of thestate, includingmetroAt-lanta, to reject a penny-per-dollar sales taxincrease for transporta-tion spending. The idea

had support from thestate’s Republican gover-nor and Atlanta’s Demo-cratic mayor.Some tea party leaders

established the Trans-portation LeadershipCoalition to lead opposi-tion. Separately, DebbieDooley of the nationalTea Party Patriotsformed an unlikely al-liance with the SierraClub and local NAACPleaders. “We don’t hesi-tate to reach out to De-mocrats or liberal groupswhen we agree on anissue, even if it’s for dif-ferent reasons,” said Doo-ley, who is based inGeorgia.The opposition hired

consultants, purchasedstate voter rolls, used so-cial media and reachedintoAtlanta’s Democraticstrongholds, not theusual tea party territory,to ensure the referendumfailed. The July 31 votewas as overwhelmingacross the Atlanta regionas it was in most ruralparts of Georgia.Dooley said her al-

liance plans to ask Geor-gia legislators to removespending restrictions onexisting taxes for At-lanta’s mass transit sys-tem. Separately, she hasworked with left-leaningCommon Cause to pushfor limits on what lobby-ists spend on state law-makers. They failedduring the 2012 legisla-tive session, but afterGeorgia voters over-whelmingly approved theidea in a nonbinding bal-lot question, the legisla-ture’s most powerfulRepublican says he’s onboard.

REPUBLICAN VICE presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan (left), R-Wis., applauds as his run-ningmate, Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, speaksduring a campaign event at the NASCAR Technical Institute Sunday in Mooresville, N.C.

“It is a pick that is meant tothrill the most strident voicesin the Republican Party, butit’s one that should troubleeverybody else — the middleclass, seniors, students,” Axel-rod said Sunday on CNN’s“State of the Union.”Ryan’s addition to the GOP

ticket appeared to reinvigorateRomney,who cast the selectionas the start of a new phase fora campaign seeking to breakout of a summer slump.“This is Day Two for me,”

said Romney during a cam-paign rally with his runningmate in North Carolina. “Thisis Day Two on our comebacktour to get America strongagain, to rebuild the promiseof America.”Romney announced his vice

presidential pick Saturdaymorning at the start of a four-day bus tour that would serveas an introduction to Ryan formany voters.A recent CNN/ORC inter-

national poll showed a major-ity of voters had no opinion ofthe congressman. Nearly 40percent had never heard ofhim and 16 percent weren’tsure what they thought of him.

British pomp and pop bringOlympics to rocking end

BY PAUL HAVENAssociated Press

LONDON (AP) — With alittle British pomp and a lot ofBritish pop, London broughtthe curtain down on a gloriousOlympic Games on Sunday ina spectacular, technicolor pag-eant of landmarks, lightshowsand lots of fun.The closing ceremony of-

fered a sensory blast includingrock ‘n’ roll rickshaws, dustbinpercussionists, an explodingyellow car and a marchingband in red tunics andbearskin hats.The Spice Girls staged a

show-stopping reunion, andMonty Python’s Eric Idlesauntered through “AlwaysLook on the Bright Side ofLife” — accompanied byRoman centurions, Scottishbagpipers and a human can-nonball.It all made for a psychedelic

mashup that had 80,000 fansat Olympic Stadium stomping,cheering and singing along.Organizers estimated 300 mil-lion or more were watchingaround the world.What a way to end a games

far more successful thanmanyLondoners expected. Securitywoes were overcome, and traf-fic nightmares never material-ized. The weather held up,more or less, and British ath-letes overachieved.It all came with a price tag

of $14 billion — three timesthe original estimate. But no-

body wanted to spoil the funwith such mundane concerns,at least not on this night.“We lit the flame, and we lit

up the world,” said London or-ganizing committee chief Se-bastian Coe. “When our timecame, Britain, we did it right.”International Olympic

Committee President JacquesRogge declared the Olympics

over with praise for the ath-letes.“Through your commitment

to fair play, your respect foropponents, and your grace indefeat as well as in victory, youhave earned the right to becalled Olympians,” he said,adding: “These were happyand glorious games.”But the night was about

splash more than speeches.Festive and fast-moving,

the ceremony opened with popbands Madness, Pet ShopBoys and One Direction, ashout-out to WinstonChurchill and a tribute to theUnion Jack — the floor ofOlympic Stadium floorarranged to resemble theBritish flag.

BEIRUT (AP) —The head of Syria’s main opposition groupin exile called Sunday for international powers to impose ano-fly zone in border areas to protect civilians who are comingunder increasingly intense attacks by regime warplanes andhelicopters.The president of the Syrian National Council, Abdelbaset

Sieda, told The Associated Press that such a move by the in-ternational community would show President Bashar Assad’sregime that his opponents around the world are serious.The Syrian opposition has been calling for a no-fly zone

over Syria for months. But Sieda renewed the plea a day afterU.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wash-ington and Turkey were discussing a range of steps includinga no-fly zone over some parts of Syria as the regime increas-ingly uses its air force to attack rebels.“There must be special protection,” Sieda said by telephone.

“The numbers of martyrs are increasing and destruction too.If the country keeps going this way, then we are heading to acatastrophe.”Asked who will impose the no-fly zone, Sieda said: “We

leave it to the international community.”Russia and China have vetoed attempts to pass tough U.N.

Security Council resolutions aimed at Assad’s regime. Lastweek, the U.N. and Arab League envoy to Syria, Kofi Annan,announced his resignation, following a frustrating six-montheffort that failed to achieve even a temporary cease-fire.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP)—Resi-dents of the zone in northwest-ern Iran hit by powerful twinearthquakes described mo-ments of terror and panic withbirds crowing loudly inwarningseconds before the groundshook. As the death toll roseSunday to more than 250 withentire villages leveled, rescuerscalled off searches for survivorsand turned their attention tocaring for the 16,000 people lefthomeless.At least 20 villages were to-

tally destroyed in the quakes onSaturday that were followed bysome 36 aftershocks, state tele-vision reported. Ahmad RezaShajiei, a senior government of-ficial in charge of rescue opera-tions, said more than 5,000tents have been set up to shel-ter the thousands of displacedwho spent the night outdoors.“The moment the earth-

quake hit, it was like a snakebiting fromunderground. Itwastheworst experience ofmy life,”said residentMorteza Javid, 47,fromAhar.“Thewalls were shaking and

moving from side to side. It tookabout a minute before I could

run out of the house,” he said.“Seconds before the earthquake,crows were making a lot ofnoise, but I didn’t understandwhy. It was only after the quakethat I learned the crows werewarning us.” Javid said hedrove more than a dozen in-jured people to hospitals duringthe night.State television said at least

250 died.The semiofficial Mehrnews agency quoted a local offi-cial who put the toll at 277.StateTV said 44,000 food pack-ages and thousands of blanketshave been distributed in thestricken area.In Washington, the White

House press secretary sent amessage of sympathy for thevictims.“Our thoughts are with the

families of those who were lost,and we wish the wounded aspeedy recovery,” it said.” Westand ready to offer assistancein this difficult time.”The U.S. and Iran are locked

in a bitter fight over Tehran’sdisputed nuclear program,which the West suspect isaimed at producing weapons.Iran denies the allegation.

HEATSTROKEDear Readers: People

and pets can be suscep-tible to heat exhaustionand heatstroke.And for both, it may

be life-threatening!Here are some specificways to prevent heat ex-haustion in pets:If you walk your dog,

early morning or late

evening is best,when it is cooleroutside.If pets are

kept outdoors,they should haveplenty of shadeto help keepthem cool.Always have

plenty of freshwater accessible.If you keep

your dog in akennel or pen,

make sure there isenough ventilation.And NEVER leave a

pet in a parked car. Thetemperature in aparked car can reach102 degrees within 10minutes on an 85-de-gree day, and 120 de-grees after 30 minutes.There are variablessuch as humidity ordryness (e.g., Floridaversus Arizona).Animals with flat

noses (like pugs) are es-pecially susceptible, be-cause their noses makeit difficult to pant effec-tively.Here is some impor-

tant lifesaving informa-tion from the HumaneSociety of the UnitedStates. If you notice ex-treme panting and sali-vation, fever, fatigue,rapid heartbeat, failureto respond or your dogcollapses, your pet maybe suffering from heat-stroke.Move your dog into a

shaded area, and usecool water to help it cooldown.Place cool, wet cloths

on your pet’s head andfeet, and offer ice cubesto lick. Go to your vet-erinarian immediatelyto seek medical atten-tion. “Woof, woof!” —Cabbie and Heloise

OPINION

If you’re one of thethousands of Ohio fami-lies who has experiencedthe pain of losing yourhome to a wrongful fore-closure, help could fi-nally be on the way. Butyou must act quickly.

Before the reports ofwidespread foreclosurefraud two years ago,Ohio had 14 consecutiveyears of increased fore-closures. Then, we dis-covered that many of thebiggest banks in the country sim-ply didn’t follow the law and givepeople the chance they deservedto keep their homes.We foundthat servicers used poorly main-tained, lost, or even forged docu-mentation to evict homeowners.Big banks tell us that these mis-takes are isolated and harmless.But these problems are not new.Too many Ohioans were unjusti-fiably foreclosed on in recentyears. That’s why it is importantthat the more than 140,000Ohioans whose homes were fore-closed on in 2009 and 2010 knowabout the free Independent Fore-closure Review (IFR) process.

AssistanceThe IFR process — enforced

by the Office of the Comptrollerof the Currency and the FederalReserve — awards financial as-sistance to borrowers who wereforeclosed on because of inaccu-racies and oversights.

According to the IndependentForeclosure Review website, bor-rowers are eligible for independ-ent foreclosure review if: (1) theproperty securing the loan wasthe borrower’s primary resi-dence; (2) the mortgage was in

the foreclosure processat any time betweenJanuary 1, 2009 and De-cember 31, 2010; and (3)the mortgage was serv-iced by one of 27 IFR-ap-proved servicers. Theseservicers include Amer-ica’s Servicing Co.; Au-rora Loan Services; BACHome Loans Servicing;Bank of America; Benefi-cial; Chase; Citibank;CitiFinancial; CitiMort-gage; Countrywide;

EMC; EverBank/EverHomeMortgage Company; FinancialFreedom; GMAC Mortgage;HFC; HSBC; IndyMac MortgageServices; MetLife Bank; NationalCity Mortgage; PNC Mortgage;Sovereign Bank; SunTrust Mort-gage; U.S. Bank;Wachovia Mort-gage; Washington Mutual(WaMu);Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.;and Wilshire Credit Corp.

EligibleAnd while it’s estimated that

147,000 Ohioans are eligible, asof now, only 6,000 have requestedIFR reviews.

The good news is that it’s nottoo late.With the applicationdeadline extended to Sept. 30, itis important to spread the wordto Ohio homeowners that theymay be eligible to receive com-pensation or other support.

For the families who wereforeclosed on — even when theywere abiding by the terms oftheir mortgage or their modifica-tion agreement, even after theyrequested assistance and submit-ted all the required documenta-tion on time, or even though theywere protected by bankruptcy —IFR can help.

The Independent ForeclosureReview process may providecompensation in the form of alump sum payment, a loan modi-fication, a suspended foreclosure,or even a corrected credit report.While IFR is a good option formany homeowners, it’s not a per-fect process and I’m working tofix some serious flaws in it.That’s why I sent a letter to theOffice of the Comptroller of theCurrency requesting that home-owners have access to an appealprocess that ensures Ohioanscan receive the assistance theydeserve.

And though not everyone willreceive compensation, goingthrough the IFR process is free ofcharge and won’t preventOhioans from pursuing other op-tions related to foreclosure assis-tance.

WrongdoingIf homeowners don’t take ad-

vantage of this opportunity andparticipate in this program, thenthe banks will avoid making pay-ments for their wrongdoing. Oureconomy will never fully recoveruntil we stabilize the housingmarket – and that means restor-ing trust for both for homeown-ers and investors.

But it’s up to all of us to takeaction. By raising awareness ofthe services the IndependentForeclosure Review process pro-vides, we can help Ohio home-owners receive the compensationthey deserve.

To find out more about the In-dependent Foreclosure Reviewprocess, Ohioans can call 888-9105 or visit the websitehttps://independentforeclosurere-view.com/.

To the editor:After reading the Sidney Daily News article

about Sharon Kennedy and her campaign for theOhio Supreme Court, I checked out her website.Sharon Kennedy’s website states: “I will honor theConstitution by upholding the law, not creating itor legislating from the bench.”

She is the kind of candidate that we need on theSupreme Court of the state of Ohio! She is recom-mended by Ohio Right to Life, as are Robert Cuppand Terrence O’Donnell. They also share endorse-ments from the Ohio Manufacturers’ Associationand the Ohio State Medical Association.

Judicial candidates are very important. Now isthe time to check out their judicial philosophies andrecords. Kennedy, Cupp and O’Donnell are the bestcandidates for the Ohio Supreme Court.

To the editor:The Shelby County Fair recently ended and it

again was a successful year for many area 4-Hyouth, including our daughter. She has been in 4-H for three years and I am not sure she knew themeaning of 4-H until this year.

Two days before she was to move her marketlambs into the fair, they both became sick anddied. She had spent countless hours walking andworking with them since the beginning of May.Going to the fair was very difficult for her, know-ing she wouldn’t be able to show her lambs, whenthe amazing happened to her.

Several youth from our 4-H club, Botkins Live-stock, and other clubs asked her to show theirgoats, be backups for them when showing theirlambs, and let her use their lamb so she could stillparticipate in the showmanship portion of thelamb show.

She learned that winning a banner, or sellingher animal and making money, wasn’t importantanymore; she learned that there are wonderfulpeople in our community who care what happensto one another.

The 4-H Creed reads: I pledge my head toclearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, myhands to larger service and my health for betterliving for my club, my community, my country andmy world.

This year our daughter truly learned what the4-H Creed means and what it stands for. Wewould like to express our appreciation to everyonewho gave her a hug, told her they were sorryabout her loss, and especially those who were will-ing to let her show and use their animals.

Brownreports

Sherrod BrownU.S. Senator

Washingtonmust change itsspending-as-usual habit. Thefederal govern-ment is already$16 trillion indebt, and is bor-rowing an addi-tional $4 billionevery day. Fu-ture generationswill be on thehook for thisenormous debt.

We can all agree thatburying our children andgrandchildren in amountain of debt is notfair. But in terms of solu-tions, drowning them ina tidal wave of taxes isno better than drowningthem in debt. The non-partisan CongressionalBudget Office hasdemonstrated that taxeswould have to be in-creased to levels we’venever seen before to tryto catch up with currentprojections of federalspending.

Better wayThere’s a better way.

Instead of asking theAmerican people to payexcessive taxes thatwould take an alreadyweak economy into afree fall,Washingtonneeds to tighten its belt.And for that, we need amore rational budgetprocess.

That is why last weekI introduced the EndGovernment ShutdownsAct, which would forceCongress to exercise fis-cal responsibility.

Approximately 36 per-cent of federal spending— called discretionaryspending — must be ap-propriated by Congresseach year (the rest of thebudget, called manda-tory spending, growsquickly every year, a

problem in andof itself). If thisdiscretionaryspending is notapproved by theOctober 1 fiscalnew year, theunfunded pro-grams shutdown, as hashappenedbriefly a num-ber of times inmodern history.

These gov-ernment shutdownscause all kinds of disrup-tions. For example, Na-tional Parks close, visaand passport requestsaren’t processed, manybenefits, including veter-ans health programs andmilitary pay, are af-fected, so Congress racesto approve last-minutebudget deals to keepthese programs running.But this creates its ownproblems.

BulliesThe threat of govern-

ment shutdowns bullieslawmakers into approv-ing poorly drafted,budget-busting spendingbills. Over the pastdecade, news reportshave been filled with sto-ries of lawmakers rush-ing to approve 11th hour,1,000-plus-page spend-ing bills — that mostMembers of Congresshaven’t even had time toread — and that containthousands of earmarksand special-interestperks, all to ensure thatspending is approved be-fore a government shut-down would occur.

The End GovernmentShutdowns Act will endthis exhibition of govern-ment at its worst. It willensure that any discre-tionary program whosebudget has not been en-acted by the October 1

fiscal new year will seeits funding continue atthe prior year’s level,then begin to be slowlyreduced until its regularspending bill can be en-acted.

Americans will nolonger be held hostageby the threat of a gov-ernment shutdown, andthis will save taxpayersmoney. As an example,when the governmentshut down for 21 days inthe mid-1990s, lawmak-ers responded to the un-derstandable publicfrustration by swallow-ing large spending in-creases for the nextdecade just to avoid anystandoff that could riskanother shutdown.

DefaultSetting a default op-

tion of freezing discre-tionary spending at theprior year’s level wouldactually keep spendingbelow the multiyearspending caps thatpassed in 2011. And con-tinuing to reduce spend-ing until the regularprocess is followed addsthe right kind of lever-age to the process.Under my bill, if the un-derlying spending billshave still not been en-acted after 120 days intothe new fiscal year,spending levels will bereduced by 1 percentagepoint — and then re-duced by another 1 per-cent every 90 days.

While a simple freezeis better than an expen-sive last-minute deal, itis still no substitute forlawmakers actuallydoing the importantwork of completing thespending bills one at atime — and using gooddata to eliminate or im-prove programs thatdon’t work, and support

those that do. This is theconstitutional duty ofCongress, the so-calledpower of the purse. Un-fortunately, under De-mocrat leadership, theUnited States Senateseems to have aban-doned that role by noteven passing a budgetfor three years and notbringing a single one ofthe 12 spending bills tothe Senate floor thisyear. My bill would be anincentive for Congress tostart governing again,doing the work the Con-stitution envisioned.

The commonsense, bi-partisan basis for the billshows in the support ithas. Thus far, 21 sena-tors — both Republicanand Democrat — haveagreed to co-sponsor thebill.

TimelyIt’s timely, too.With

no spending bills havingbeen completed, and thefiscal new year ap-proaching, news brokethis week that Houseand Senate leaders havecome close to an agree-ment on a six-month ex-tension of discretionaryprograms with a 0.4 per-cent increase.

Our bill takes whatthey’ve done, makes itautomatic, eliminatesthe increases, and even-tually cuts spending.That’s a win for the tax-payer.

No more governmentshutdowns. No more dis-ruptions in serviceswhen Congress can’tcomplete its work. Andless pressure for expen-sive, last-minute, 1,000-page spending bills.Those are all good rea-sons to support our com-monsense approach inthe End GovernmentShutdowns Act.

LONDON—As FarmScience Review cele-brates its 50th year, or-ganizers say that despitethe many changes thathave occurred in agricul-ture during that time,one thing has remainedthe same — Ohio’s pre-miere agricultural eventis still dedicated to en-suring the best agricul-tural research,resources, informationand access for farmers.

This year’s Farm Sci-ence Review theme is“Forecasting the Futurefor 50 Years,” emphasiz-ing what Farm Science isall about, said Farm Sci-ence Review managerChuck Gamble.

“It’s about forecastingthe future, what technol-ogy could be comingdown the road in agri-culture,” he said. “It’sabout bringing cutting-edge technology to farm-

ers. “The field of agricul-ture is so exciting rightnow, with the boon intechnology that hastaken place in the indus-try during the past 50years. From genetics andseeds and the differentchemistries that we haveto protect plants, to theequipment we now havethat uses satellite tech-nology to make farmingmore precise and effi-cient, I can’t fathomwhat the next 10 to 50years will bring in agri-cultural innovations.”

Farm Science Reviewwill take place Sept. 18-20 at the Molly CarenAgricultural Center inLondon. Sponsored bythe College of Food,Agri-cultural, and Environ-mental Sciences, OhioState University Exten-sion, and the Ohio Agri-cultural Research andDevelopment Center, the

event attracts upwardsof 140,000 visitors fromall over the country andCanada. Visitors comefor three days to peruse4,000 product lines from600 commercial ex-hibitors, and capitalizeon educational opportu-nities from Ohio StateUniversity and PurdueUniversity specialists.This year, the review willfollow daily themesaimed at highlightingthe 50th anniversaryyear, Gamble said. Thethemes are:

• Sept. 18 — WorldRecord Day. Kip Cullers,Missouri farmer whoholds the world record insoybean yield of 160.6bushels per acre, willtalk about productiontechniques used to ac-complish incredibleyields.

• Sept. 19 — FarmerFood Drive Day. For

every two cans of food ormore donated, partici-pants will receive a pairof work gloves (as sup-plies last). The goal is tocollect at least a halfsemi-load of food, if not afull semi-load, Gamblesaid. Organizers areworking with the OhioAssociation of FoodBanks.

• Sept. 20 — Genera-tional Day. Participantswho attend as a familygroup can get photostaken and placed in aFarm Science Reviewframe or calendar.

Farm Science Reviewpreshow tickets are $5 atthe OSU ExtensionShelby County office,810 Fair Road, Sidney.Tickets will $8 at thegate. Children 5 andyounger are admittedfree. Hours are 8 a.m. to5 p.m., Sept. 18-19. and 8a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 20.

The Commod-ity Credit Corp.administers a fa-cility loan pro-gram toqualifying pro-ducers.

The interestrate charged forthe loan term isdetermined dur-ing the month ofloan approval by theCounty Committee.

Applicable rates forthis month of August in-clude seven-year-1 per-cent; 10-year-1.625percent; and 12-year-1.875 percent.

Applications may besubmitted to the countyoffice at any time.

Eligible storage facili-ties and equipment in-clude newconventional-type bins orcribs, affixed grain-han-dling and drying equip-ment, oxygen-limitingsilos (new or remanufac-tured), flat-type struc-tures, hay and renewablebiomass storage, fruitand vegetable cold stor-age, safety/electrical com-ponents, foundations, etc.

The useful life of thefacility shall be at least15 years and used for thepurpose for which thestorage facility waserected, constructed, as-sembled or installed forthe entire loan term.

The intent of this pro-gram is to provide on-farm storage to producers

for storing eligi-ble facility loanc ommod i t i e sthey produceand not for anyother purpose.

A nonrefund-able applicationfee of $100 is aprogram re-quirement andthe participant

must provide a down pay-ment of 15 percent.

Multiperil crop insur-ance or Non-insured As-sistance Program (NAP)coverage shall be in effectthroughout the loanterm.

A facility loan must beapproved by the CountyCommittee prior to anysite preparation or con-struction.

Loans of more than$50,000 shall be securedwith a real estate lien.For a borrowed amount of$100,000 or less, the termis seven years;$100,000.01 to $250,000,the borrower may specifyseven or 10 years; whilean amount of $250,000.01to $500,000 the borrowermay specify seven, 10, or12 years.

Acreage reportingThe deadline for

timely submission ofacreage reporting andcurrent year land usewas July 15. A late-filefee of $46 per farm willnow be charged to offsetthe requirement of fieldverification and review

by FSA reporters.An annual report of

acreages is required forCRP participation,DCP/ACRE enrollmentand the MarketingAssis-tance Loan (MAL) nine-month CCC grain loanprogram.

CRP acreageDue to extended

drought conditions and ashortage of available for-age/hay supplies, ShelbyCounty is authorized toreceive applications forthe grazing and/or har-vest of hay from certainConservation ReserveProgram (CRP) acres.Grass waterways andseveral CRP wetlandpractices are now in-cluded with the hay andgrazing provisions.

A producer may har-vest hay (no more than50 percent of a field orarea) or graze (at least25 percent of each areashall remain ungrazed)the acreage throughSept. 30.

Filter strips, quailbuffer/field border or ri-parian buffer practicesare ineligible with thisauthority. A 10 percentCRP annual rental pay-ment will be imposed andwill be deducted from theOctober payment or aproducer may elect to paythe reduction “up front”.

Producers are advisedto contact the FSAcounty office to apply foreither the grazing or har-

vesting of hay from appli-cable CRP lands. Writ-ten permission must beapproved by the FSACounty Committee priorto the haying/grazing op-eration.

Direct depositCurrent policy man-

dates that all paymentsfrom FSA be directly de-posited into a producer’ssavings or checking bankaccount. It is importantthat any changes in ac-counts such as type of ac-count, bank mergers,routing number or ac-count numbers, be pro-vided to the county officepromptly to avoid possi-ble payment delay. Acheck marked “void”maybe submitted to the FSAoffice to initiate anychange of a financial in-stitution.

HEL land initiativeA continuous signup is

authorized to establishlong-term cover on highlyerodible cropland (HEL)that has a weighted aver-age erodibility index (EI)of 20 or greater.

Interested producersmay contact the ShelbyCounty FSA Office forcompleted program de-tails, authorized prac-tices and continuousCRP enrollment proce-dures.

COLUMBUS — With the continued hot, dryweather conditions throughout Ohio, the FarmService Agency (FSA) encourages farmers to docu-ment and report crop losses or low crop yields totheir local FSA office.

Producers with crops covered by crop insuranceand the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Pro-gram (NAP) must report crop losses resulting froma weather-related disaster event within 15 days ofthe disaster or when the loss first becomes appar-ent. Prevented planting must be reported no laterthan 15 days after the final planting date.

Crop losses are acres that were timely plantedwith the intent to harvest, but the crop failed be-cause of a natural disaster. It is important thatproducers file accurate and timely loss reports toprevent the potential loss of FSA program benefits.

Low yield acreage does need to be reported andproducers are encouraged to keep good productionrecords on acreage with a low crop yield to docu-ment crop losses. In addition, farmers are encour-aged to report crop conditions to their county FSAoffices so that the information may be used to sup-port the potential request for a disaster declara-tion.

Farmers are reminded that they may revise FSAcrop reports free of charge. A crop report revision,however, must be verified by physical evidence ofthe crop in a field spot check.

The USDA’s authority to operate the five disas-ter assistance programs authorized by the 2008Farm Bill expired on Sept. 30, 2011; however,USDA reminds livestock producers to keep thor-ough records of losses, including additional ex-penses during this hot dry weather, should aprogram become available.

Farmers who have additional questions aboutfailed crop acreage or crop losses covered by theNon-Insured Assistance Program (NAP) shouldcontact their local FSA office.

REYNOLDSBURG –Ohio Department ofAgriculture DirectorDavid T. Daniels has an-nounced a new way topreserve Ohio farmland.

The AgriculturalEasement DonationPartnership Programwill reimburse localpartners (counties,townships, Soil andWater ConservationDistricts, or land trusts)for real estate closingand administrativecosts to assist landown-ers with donationsunder the state’s farm-land preservation pro-gram.

The department hasset aside $50,000 tocover up to $3,000 incosts for the donation offarms up to 200 acres.The incentive would in-crease by $5 per acre foreasements more than200 acres in size. Fundswill be equally availablein all areas of the state.

“Ohio has gone fromzero preserved farmlandacres to more than54,000 preserved acresin just over 10 years.This would never havebeen possible withoutthe help of our localpartners,” said Daniels.“Today, through thisprogram, we are offeringa way to help our part-ners preserve even moreproductive farmland atthe local level. We hope

to preserve many moreacres of donated agricul-tural easementsthrough these incen-tives.”

The new programwill help provide localpartners with resourcesto respond to landown-ers who want to perma-nently protect their landfor agricultural produc-tion. Tax benefits forthe value of the ease-ment donation may beavailable.

Bob and Lois Stoll, ofLogan County, donatedan agricultural ease-ment on their 345-acrefarm.

“Our land is underour care for a short pe-riod and it is our re-sponsibility to leave it tothe next generation bet-ter than when received,”said Bob Stoll. “Preserv-ing land for agriculture,woodland production,wildlife or naturalbeauty is a responsibil-ity of our society. Thefamily farm is a corner-stone of our existenceand should be preservedand never lost for futuregenerations.”

The department cur-rently holds 53 donatedagricultural easementson 6,390 acres. To re-view the new programguidelines, visit:http://www.agri.ohio.gov/divs/FarmLand/Farm-Land.aspx.

Farm Science Reviewcelebrates 50th year

ST. LOUIS (AP)—A deepeningdrought in the nation’s farmstates has cut further into thisfall’s harvest, with farmers nowexpected to pull from their fieldsthe lowest corn yield in more thana decade.

But American farmers are stillexpected to produce their eighth-largest harvest ever, and whilethere’s sure to be a rise in prices

at the grocery stores, there’s littlerisk of a failed harvest that wouldlead to shortages on the shelves.

The U.S. Agriculture Depart-ment predicted the nation’sbiggest harvest ever in the spring,when farmers planted 96.4 mil-lion acres of corn— the most since1937. But it cut its estimate amonth ago and again Friday, say-ing it now expects the nation to

produce 10.8 billion bushels, theleast since 2006.

If that estimate holds, the fed-eral government says it will beenough to meet the world’s needsand ensure there are no short-ages. But experts say food priceswill almost certainly climb as cornis a widely used ingredient foundin everything from cosmetics tocereal, colas and candy bars.

Walking pneumonia explained

Wedding weekend fans old flames into affair

DEAR DR.D O N O H U E :Please enlightenme on walkingpneumonia. Ihave had a coughand finally con-sulted my doctor.I don’t feel allthat bad, but Idon’t feel all thatgood, either. Thedoctor had meget an X-ray. Hethen called to tellme I have walk-ing pneumonia. Pneumo-nia sounds terrifying.Should I be in the hospi-tal and taking medicine?— H.W.

ANSWER: The defi-nition of “pneumonia” is“lung inflammation.”Many things inflame thelungs. Inhaled chemicalscan do it. Poison gasesused in World War I pro-moted a special kind ofpneumonia. But as far ascases of pneumonia, bac-teria, viruses and my-c o p l a s m a s(microorganisms be-tween bacteria andviruses) are the most

common causesof lung inflam-mation.B a c t e r i a l

pneumonias pro-voke all the signsand symptoms ofpneumonia: highfevers, shakingchills and non-stop cough. Peo-ple become sosick that they’reconfined to theirbeds and placedon antibiotics.

Hospitalization often isrequired, during whichthey’re given intra-venous antibiotics.Viral pneumonias, on

the other hand, have lessflorid symptoms. Peoplewith a viral pneumoniadon’t feel great, but theydon’t feel sick enough totake to their beds. Tem-perature rises, but not tothe height it does withbacterial pneumonia. Pa-tients don’t feel as donein as they do with bacte-rial pneumonia. Viralpneumonia, therefore,often is called walkingpneumonia.

Exceptions to all rulesexist. Some viral pneu-monias are grave ill-nesses, and somebacterial pneumoniasare relatively minor ill-nesses.The world would be a

better place if the term“walking pneumonia”disappeared.

DEAR DR. DONO-HUE: I swear to you,Doctor, that I can predictan oncoming storm be-cause my arthritis be-gins to flare. I have it inmy knees. Most peoplesay I’m nuts. But this isthe truth. What do youthink? — R.J.

ANSWER: Respectedscientists support theidea that arthritic jointsare apt to act up whenhumidity rises with a si-multaneous fall in baro-metric pressure. Thosemeteorological signs aresigns that a storm isabout to strike. I don’tknow why some arthriticjoints respond to thesechanges with an in-crease in pain.You’re notthe only one with arthri-tis who says they do. I’dlike to find out why thishappens.I think your observa-

tions are legit. Howabout you tell me whythis happens.

DEAR ABBY:“Jane,” thedaughter of a life-long friend, at-tended my son’swedding with herhusband. My sonand Jane haveknown each othersince childhood,and alwaysflirted and actedas if they had acrush on eachother.To make a long story

short, after seeing eachother during the week-end, my son left his wifeof only one month andstarted a long-distancerelationship with Jane.Jane continues to livewith her husband.

My son andJane have beenopen about theirrelationship witheveryone in ourfamilies excepther father andher husband.Needless to say,those of us whoknow about thisdeceptive rela-tionship are sickat heart andskeptical about

who Jane’s true love is —her husband or my son.Jane’s sister is being

married soon. If Jane isstill keeping my son in acloset, I don’t want to seeher at the upcoming wed-ding.There’s a chance

Jane’s husband may notbe going because there’sevidence he might havean idea that his marriageis not healthy.Should we attend the

wedding to support mylife-long friend, or stayaway to avoid the pain ofseeing the woman whohas kept my son on aroller-coaster ride foryears? — TO GO ORNOT TO GO?

DEAR T.G. OR NOTT.G.: Let me get thisstraight. Your sondumped his wife of onlyone month for a marriedwoman, and you’re wor-ried about HIS pain?Stop involving yourself inthis melodrama and lethim work this out for

himself. If Jane dumpsher husband for him, hemay have the girl of hischildhood dreams. If shedoesn’t he will learn animportant life lesson.As to whether you

should attend Jane’s sis-ter’s wedding, take aDramamine and go. It’sgoing to be a thrill ride Iwouldn’t miss if I couldget a ticket.

CHICAGO (AP) — JohnnyCueto pitched three-hit ballfor eight innings, Jay Bruceand Ryan Ludwick homeredand the Cincinnati Reds beatthe Chicago Cubs 3-0 Sunday.Cueto (15-6) moved into a

tie with New York’s R.A.Dickey for the NL lead in vic-tories. He retired the Cubs inorder in four of the first fiveinnings.Back in the lineup after sit-

ting for two games because ofa recent slump, Bruce hit atwo-run shot into the right-field bleachers in the fifth offBrooks Raley (0-2). Ludwickconnected with a drive to leftin the sixth.Aroldis Chapman earned the

save for the third game in a row,his 28th of the season. Chap-man has converted 20 straightsaves and hasn’t allowed a runin 21 2-3 innings since blowinga save on June 24.The Reds have won three

straight after snapping a sea-son-worst five-game losingstreak on Friday. Cincinnati’s22-8 record since the All-Starbreak is best in the majors.In his second big league

start in place of injured right-hander Matt Garza, Raley re-tired the first 13 Reds. Heallowed five hits and threeruns over six innings aftergiving up eight hits and sevenruns in his first outing at SanDiego.Chicago has lost 10 of 11,

with seven of those lossescoming by two or fewer runs.The Cubs have been shut outfour times since July 31.Cueto, a leading NL Cy

Young candidate, has allowedthree runs or fewer in 20 of 24starts and lowered his ERA to2.45.The Cubs put runners on

the corners with one out inthe sixth, the only time theyhad a runner reach third base.Cueto escaped the threat bygetting Anthony Rizzo on aninning-ending double play.Raley matched Cueto in the

early innings, not allowing abaserunner until Todd Fraziersingled with one out in thefifth. Bruce followed with histeam-high 22nd homer of theseason.Frazier, who singled twice

and scored, went 9 for 15 withsix RBIs in the four-game se-ries.Bruce entered the game 0

for his last 12 with sevenstrikeouts. He sat out games

on Friday and Saturday aftermanager Dusty Baker saidhis funk was “like being inquicksand.”Ludwick drove in his 20th

run in his last 15 games, in-cluding six in the four-gameset in Chicago. Since team-mate Joey Votto was injuredon July 15, Ludwick is hitting.341 with eight homers and 27RBIs in 25 games.

McIlroycruisesin PGAKIAWAH ISLAND, S.C.

(AP) — Right down to his redshirt, Rory McIlroy lookedevery bit the part of golf ’snext star in another commandperformance at the PGAChampionship.McIlroy validated his

record-setting U.S. Open winlast year by blowing away thefield Sunday at Kiawah Is-land. One last birdie from 25feet on the 18th hole gave hima 6-under 66 for an eight-shotvictory, breaking the PGAChampionship record for mar-gin of victory that Jack Nick-laus set in 1980.The 23-year-old from

Northern Ireland returned toNo. 1 in the world, and he be-came the youngest playersince Seve Ballesteros to wintwo majors. Tiger Woods wasabout four months older thanMcIlroy when he won his sec-ond major.Just like the U.S. Open,

this one was never seriously

in doubt.McIlroy seized control with

back-to-back birdies Sundaymorning to complete the storm-delayed third round with a 67and build a three-shot lead. Noone got closer than two shotsthe rest of the way, and McIlroyclosed out a remarkable weekby playing bogey-free over thefinal 23 holes of a demandingOcean Course.

David Lynn, a 38-year-oldfrom England who was play-ing in America for the firsttime, won the B-flight. Heclosed with a 68 and was therunner-up.Woods, who shared the 36-

hole lead for the second timethis year in a major, was nevera serious factor. He tossedaway his chances Saturday be-fore the storm blew in and

never could get closer thanfour shots. He closed with a72.If there was a signature

shot for McIlroy at Kiawah Is-land, it might have been onSaturday when his tee shotlodged into a tree on the thirdhole. He only found it withhelp from the TV crew, tookhis penalty shot and fired awedge into 6 feet to save par.

WATKINS GLEN,N.Y. (AP) — Marcos Am-brose passed Brad Ke-selowski on the final lap,then held him off in afender-banging duel towin the Sprint Cup raceat Watkins Glen Inter-national for the secondstraight time.Kyle Busch, desper-

ate for a win to moveback into contention forthe Chase for the SprintCup championship, wasin control of the racebut was leaking oil onthe track. He skiddedsideways coming out ofthe first turn of thefinal lap. Keselowski’sNo. 2 Dodge caromed offthe side of the No. 18Toyota and Ambrose fol-lowed Keselowskithrough.“Busch slipped up big

in turn one,” said Ke-selowski, who suffereddamage to the front ofhis car. “There was noth-ing he could do. We allchecked up and Marcoswas right on my bumper.We all just about spunout. We got to the innerloop, and again nothingbut oil.”Slipping and sliding

around the 11-turn,

2.45-mile layout, Am-brose and Keselowskibattled side by sidenearly all the wayaround. Both went intothe grass in the innerloop at the top of thehigh-speed esses butkept charging.

Ambrose slippedagain in turn 10, but Ke-selowski couldn’t drivepast. Neither gaveground, but Ambroseforged ahead in hisRichard Petty Motor-sports Ford on the finalturn, another hard right-hander, and turned awayKeselowski’s finalcharge on the outside.“I must have hit the

oil one more time and hedidn’t,” Keselowski said.“I thought I had him, butI hit more oil than Mar-cos did.”Entering the race,

Ambrose had one winand had never finishedlower than third in fourstarts at The Glen for anaverage finish of 2.3 andan average green flagspeed of nearly 120 mph.Both were tops in the se-ries.Jimmie Johnson was

third to gain the pointslead by one over GregBiffle. Sonoma winnerClint Bowyer and SamHornish Jr. were next,giving Dodge two in thetop five. Dale EarnhardtJr. spun late and fin-ished 28th to fall fromfirst to fourth in points,17 behind Johnson.

Biffle was sixth, andBusch, Matt Kenseth,Regan Smith and Mar-tin Truex Jr. rounded outthe top 10. Ryan New-man finished 11th tomove back ahead of JeffGordon into the secondwild card slot. KaseyKahne, who has twowins, holds the other.Gordon was also a victimof the oil, spinning lateand dropping to 21stafter having driven pastNewman.The top 10 drivers in

the standings qualify forthe 10-race Chase, andtwo wild cards areawarded to the driverswith the most wins out-side the top 10. Onlythose in the top 20 areeligible for wild cards.Last year, Ambrose

beat Busch and Ke-selowski on a paint-trad-ing two-lap dash to thecheckered flag. Ambrosepassed Keselowski forthe lead on the final lapand secured his first Cupvictory when a violentcrash involving DavidReutimann and DavidRagan precipitated acaution that preventedKeselowski frommakingone final challenge.

LONDON (AP) ‚ÄîThe top 10 memorablemoments from the Lon-don Olympics:1. Crowning the

greatest Olympic ath-lete of all timeMichael Phelps ended

his remarkable swim-ming career by winningfour gold and two silvermedals in London. He isnow the most decoratedOlympian ever, with acareer total of 22medals, 18 of them gold.In his final swim, hehelped the U.S. reclaimthe lead in the 4x100-meter relay, and after-ward he got a specialtrophy from swimmingofficials that said: “ToMichael Phelps, thegreatest Olympic athleteof all time.”2. Bolt adds to the

legendThe speed. The

medals. The poses. Itcould only be Usain Bolt,who electrified the Lon-don Games by becomingthe first man to win the100, 200 and 4x100 relaygolds in back-to-backOlympics. Even IOCPresident JacquesRogge, who initiallybalked at giving him“living legend” status,conceded that the six-time gold medalist “isthe best sprinter of alltime.”3. Gabby leads the

fierce fiveGabby Douglas

rocked the O2 Arenawith her electric floorroutine, her vaults, herleaps high above the bal-ance beam. The 16-year-old won two gold medals,including the all-around,and the rest of theFierce Five — JordynWieber, McKaylaMaroney, Kyla Ross andAly Raisman— gave theUnited States its firstOlympic team title inwomen’s gymnasticssince 1996.

4. Britain’s goldennightThree British ath-

letes won gold medalsin Olympic Stadium in44 minutes on Satur-day, Aug. 4, to producethe signature night ofthe London Games: Jes-sica Ennis won the hep-tathlon, GregRutherford won thelong jump, and MoFarah won the 10,000meters. (The Somali-born Farah also won the5,000 meters on thefinal Saturday.) Count-ing two golds from therowers and anotherfrom women’s track cy-cling, Britain’s total forthe day was six.5. Putting the bad

in badmintonThey played to lose.

The top-seeded women’sbadminton pair fromChina, two pairs from

South Korea and onefrom Indonesia were dis-qualified from theOlympics after they in-tentionally lost theirmatches in order to se-cure a more favorabledraw in the quarterfi-nals. Olympic officialswanted team coaches,trainers or officials ofthe four doubles pairs tobe punished if they en-couraged or ordered theeight players to lose in-tentionally.6. The “Blade Run-

ner” made them roarOscar Pistorius de-

scribed his journeyfrom South Africa tothe London Olympicsas “amazing,” and itwas. The double-am-putee known as the“Blade Runner” becausehe runs on carbon-fiberblades had the 80,000-strong crowd roaring as

he anchored the SouthAfrican team in the4x400-meter relay final.It didn’t matter that hefinished eighth. He canadd “Olympic finalist”to his long list of un-precedented achieve-ments.7. Women’s bosing a

hitWomen’s boxing was

a big hit in its firstOlympics, and it pro-duced three memorablechampions: ClaressaShields, the 17-year-oldmiddleweight with thevicious right hand whoestablished herself asthe future of the sport;lightweight Katie Tay-lor of Ireland, the BrayBrawler whose boutshad thousands cheeringwith Irish pride; andNicola Adams, theBritish flyweight whowon the first gold

medal.8. Running on a

broken legAmerican Manteo

Mitchell heard a pop inhis left leg with 200 me-ters to go in his segmentof the 4x400 relay pre-liminaries, and thesprinter knew it was notgood. If he stopped, hewould lose the race, so hefinished the lap, thenlimped to the side towatch his teammatescomplete the relay. TheUnited States eventuallymade it into the finalsand won the silver be-hind the Bahamas.9. Historic Olympics

for womenIt lasted only 82 sec-

onds, but it will be longremembered:Young judofighter Wojdan Ali SerajAbdulrahim Shahrkhanibecame the first Saudiwoman to compete at anOlympics. Wearing amodified hijab,Shahrkhani drew roarsfrom the crowd as shestepped on the matagainst Puerto Rico’sMelissa Mojica, whoquickly defeated her.Saudi resident Alaa Al-Mizyen said afterward:“Wojdan remains a win-ner to me and millions ofmen AND womenaround the world.” Qatarand Brunei also sent fe-male Olympians for thefirst time.10. Her Majesty is a

pretty nice actressThe Olympics kicked

off with a royal com-mand performance. Atthe opening ceremony, ashort film on the sta-dium’s big screenshowed actor DanielCraig as James Bonddriving to BuckinghamPalace and meetingQueen Elizabeth II,who played herself.“Good evening, Mr.Bond,” she said. Nextthey were shown flyingin a helicopter overOlympic Stadium,where stunt doublesparachuted in.

DR. WAL-LACE: I amaghast that youwere against a13-year-old girlcontinuing totake violin les-sons becauseafter threeyears of lessons,she felt she stillwasn’t any goodand she learnedto detest takingprivate lessons.She said that the moneyher parents are “wast-ing” on her lessons couldbe put to better use.Money is never wastedon music. Money iswasted on alcohol,drugs, tobacco and fat-tening foods — never onmusic. Music is the foodthat feeds the soul;music is comfort for theinfirm; music provideswisdom to every humanbeing; music is freedomto the convicted; musicbrings joy to all who are2 to 102; music is love toall that give and receivelove; and, most of all,

music is spiri-tual.Have I now

convinced youthat you made agrave mistake intelling thisyoung lady thatshe should stoptaking violin les-sons? Do you likemusic? If so,what kind? —N a m e l e s s ,Newark, N.J.

NAMELESS: I agreewith most of what yousay, but one doesn’t haveto be a musician to enjoythe enriching pleasures ofthe universal language—music. This young ladygave violin training agood chance — threeyears. It was a good expe-rience, and I’m sure it willhelp her enjoy and under-stand music more fully inthe future. All of us whoenjoy music are not nec-essarily musicians. Youdidn’t convince me tochange my mind, but I dorespect your passion formusic. I can’t play a note

on any musical instru-ment, but I enjoy listen-ing to music. The rangeruns from country andwestern to classical —Hank Williams Sr. to Lu-ciano Pavarotti.

DR. WALLACE: I’m12 and a good athleteand a fairly good stu-dent. I am far from asissy, but sometimes Ifeel like one becausewhen I see or hear some-thing that is really sad,tears come to my eyes. Iguess you would call itcrying, but when ayoung person cries, he orshe makes a cryingsound. I don’t. All thathappens is that tears fillup my eyes. I’ve triednot to let this happenbut it does. Every time Ithink about all thosepeople who were killedin a Colorado movie the-ater, I cry.Is there anything that

I can do to stop this?Sometimes crying makesme feel embarrassed. —Jason,Mobile, Ala.

JASON: Psychia-trists all agree that cry-ing is a very naturalresponse to being hurtor feeling sorrow. Mostoften it provides a much-needed release for frus-trations. This is true forboth males and females.But, of course, most

boys are taught not tocry in our society. Who-ever is teaching thattheory needs to updatehis research.
