BY MELANIE [email protected]

WASHINGTON, D.C. — They foughtin a war no one wanted to be involved in.They weren’t welcomed home as the he-roes they are.

All that changed Saturday when morethan 35 Vietnam War veterans fromShelby County visited the Wall built intheir honor. They paused, touched theblack granite stone and bowed theirheads as they found the names of the sol-

diers and friends who didn’t come home.Jerome R. Frilling

“To those soldiers, sailors, Marinesand airmen who served in Vietnam andaround the world during that war, wel-come to your memorial,” said Mike Ben-nett, chairman of the Shelby CountyVeterans to Washington, D.C., commit-tee. “While this part of the mission isnew to the committee, this recognition islong overdue for you.”

James M. Fergerson“A lot of people have worked real hard

to get you here … the committee mem-bers, your drill sergeant, your family,that buddy in your foxhole and the citi-zens of Sidney and Shelby County,” saidBennett.

Robert J. Gold“It was those who stared at their own

needs in the economy and yet still donatedto make sure you had what you needed tocome here to share thismoment with yourspouse or caregiver,” he said.

WASHINGTON, D.C.— Christmas came earlyfor Vietnam veteran RonWilges, of Sidney.The daughter of his

best friend, the late GlenDeVinney, surprisedWilges at the VietnamWall Saturday afternoon.“I just got a Christmas

present in September,”said Wilges of the visitwith Glenda DeVinney, ofAlexandria, Va. “He waslike a brother to me. Hewas a U.S.Marine.“Glen grewup in an or-

phanage in Sidney. Wewent to the same church.We grew up real close. Hewas my best friend.”“I came to see him be-

cause my dad couldn’t behere,” said DeVinney.“Hiswife called andmentionedthat they would be inWashington thisweekend.He and my dad were bestfriends.When Iwas grow-ing up in Celina, my dadplayed on a softball teamin Sidney. So we were al-ways at their house.“I’ve been told he still

carries a picture of mydad with him to this day.”DeVinney’s dad died of

complications of AgentOrange.“After my dad passed

away, things in my familyfell apart,” said DeVinney,40. “I found my own waythrough the U.S. Army. Iwas in for six years.”She was stationed in

Korea for one year and atthe Pentagon for fiveyears.“My dad was always a

protector,” she said. “Itwas a culture shock forwhen he died.”When DeVinney ar-

rived at theWall, she wasafraid she wouldn’t beable to findWilges.“I ran into one veteran

from the group and I gotso choked up I couldn’t getthe words out,” saidDeVinney.When she did find him,

the tears flowed as theywere reunited in front oftheWall.“Her dad would be so

proud of her,” saidWilges.DeVinney saw the

struggles her dad wentthrough as aVietnamvet-eran.“I was encouraged

today (Saturday).Many ofthe veterans were notready to come to theWall,”she said.“Therewere peo-ple coming up to themthanking them for theirservice. There was astigma on how it used tobe— it’s not like that now.People of all ages are gen-erally glad they served.”


VIETNAM WAR veteran Ron Wilges was surprisedSaturday during the visit to the Vietnam Wall Me-morial by Glenda DeVinney, daughter of the lateGlen DeVinney. Wilges and Glen DeVinney werechildhood friends in Sidney and both served in theVietnam War. Glenda said she needed to be at theWall with Wilges because her dad couldn’t bethere. The elder DeVinney died of an Agent Or-ange-related illness.


Christmascomes early forvet from Sidney

them,” said TerryWilt, ofBotkins, who was accom-panied on the trip by hiswife, Sandi. “They alsoneed to come to see theKorean andWorldWar IImemorials. They need tocome.”“This has been a won-

derful trip,” said Mrs.Wilt. “We’ve not wantedfor anything on the trip.We really appreciate it.”Wilt, an Army vet-

eran, served for one yearin Vietnam. He lookedfor Robert Gold’s nameon the Wall. Gold, aShelby County residentkilled in the war, servedin the same unit as Wiltin Vietnam.They were inthe 4th Infantry Divi-sion.

‘A grudge’“There are still a lot of

people with a grudge,”said Wilt. “I do thinkthings are better nowthan when we returnedhome.”Wilt admits he never

talks about the time hespent in Vietnam. Evenhis wife doesn’t knowwhat he went throughduring the war.“When I came home, I

was done with it. I don’ttalk about it,” he said.“I’ve moved on with mylife. I don’t regret going(to Vietnam), but I wasglad to be home.”The couple’s first

child, Terry Jr., was bornwhile Wilt was in Viet-nam.

ReunionsWilt said for the past

six or seven years, hismilitary unit has held re-unions and he enjoysseeing the people heserved with in Vietnam.Army veteran Jerry

Stewart, of Sidney, waswith the 1st Cavalry Di-vision and was stationedin An Kye, Vietnam. Hewas a turbine engineerrepairman for the heli-copters.“I really wanted to see

theWall,” said Stewart ofhis decision to come onthe tip. “This was inhonor of my friends andother names on there.“The trip was fantas-

tic.”“Everyone was very

gracious,” said his wife,Jane.Stewart said the high-

light of the trip was vis-iting the Wall. He alsowas honored to shake thehands of other WorldWar II veterans fromother states who werevisiting Washington,D.C., on Honor Flights.

‘The real one’“I had seen the travel-

ing wall but until you seethe real one, you don’tget the true feeling of it,”said Stewart. “There’s areal closure visiting it.”Stewart looked up the

names of Gold, JimLochard, another ShelbyCounty resident killed inth war, and TerryBozarth, of Kettering.The trip was extra-

special for LarryHawkey, of Sidney. Hewas accompanied by hisgrandson, BrandenJones, who is a junior atCelina Senior HighSchool. Hawkey is a vet-eran of the U.S. Marines.“My grandpa has

taken my brothers on va-cation and it was myturn,” said Jones. “I got tocome because my

grandma, PaulineHawkey, had hip surgeryand couldn’t go.”Jones said the trip

was amazing and helearned something newabout his grandpa.“I didn’t realize he

was so bitter about thewar,” said Jones.The teen thinks the

trip will help hisgrandpa heal from theexperiences he had dur-ing the war.“I think it helped him

to see his friends’ nameson the Wall,” said Jones.“And he got to see it withhis Army buddies whoare still here. I think itwas good for him.”

13 monthsHawkey was stationed

in Chu Lai, Vietnam, for13 months. He was anassistant driver for anamtrac, which is a tankthat carries troops. Thetank has had a .60-cal-iber machine gun on it.“It was bad enough,”

said Hawkey of his tourof Vietnam. “There was agal, Hanoi Annie, whowas on the radio. Withina week and a half of usgetting there, she readoff everyone’s name inthe company and readwhen everyone wasgoing to die.“They played Ameri-

can music and that wasthe only station we couldlisten to, if you had aradio.”Jim Hall, one of the

volunteers with the vet-erans group, encouragedHawkey to go on the trip.The two had graduatedfrom Sidney High School

together and Hall talkedabout the trip at their50-year class reunion.Hawkey said he had

“mixed feelings” aboutseeing the Wall.“The feelings I came

home to are still thesame,” said Hawkey.“When we arrived inCalifornia, there were500 protesters waitingfor us. We had to fightour way out of there toget home.”Hawkey said the trip

has helped heal some ofhis hard feelings.“It’s so hard to de-

scribe what it felt like,”said Hawkey.While at the Wall, he

looked for all the namesof the soldiers killedfrom Shelby County.The loneWorldWar II

veteran on the trip wasDon Pulfer, of Anna, aU.S. Navy veteran.“I didn’t want to come

before now,” said Pulfer.“My son, Scott, talked meinto it along with a fewmore people”Pulfer was accompa-

nied on the trip by hisson.“It was really nice,”

said Pulfer.The biggest surprise

of the trip for Pulfer wasthe visit to Arlington Na-tional Cemetery.“I didn’t expect it to be

that big,” said Pulfer.He also enjoyed visit-

ing the WWII Memorial.“All the people were

real nice,” said Pulfer. “Iwas also surprised at thepeople who came up toshake our hands.The veterans were

welcomed home Sundayafternoon at the ShelbyCounty Fairgrounds bytheir family and friends.

Why Do Leaves Change Color?author: Betsey Maestro

The Autumn Equinoxauthor: Ellen Jackson

Your newspaper willprobably publish asummary of the previ-ous week’s weather.What was the averagehigh temperature: theaverage low tempera-ture? If the tempera-tures were given inFahrenheit, convert toCelsius.What was the high Celsius read-ing: The lowest Celsius reading? Whatwas the precipitation in centimeters?

It’s time for our leaves to start changingcolors. Take a nice day and go out col-lecting different colors and styles ofleaves. Keep a journal on what youhave found, and share it with your class.

NewspaperKnowledge

Fall is a beautiful time ofyear with crisp cool air, color-ful leaves and a harvest ofplentiful vegetables. But dowe know the scientific rea-sons behind the changing ofthe seasons? Learn somecool facts about autumnhere!

A Season of ColorThe season of autumn

can provide us with somevery interesting weather andsocial event facts that theycan use for science andsocial studies reports. Thereare many different changesthat occur in the fall giving usmuch to learn and writeabout. Get your researchstarted with these cool factson fall.

The Dates of AutumnThere is no fixed time

period for the season ofAutumn. It can shift from yearto year. This is because theearth's orbit is not perfect.Although most people are notaware of it, the first day andlast day of autumn generallyshift about 24 hours everyyear. The beginning of Fallgenerally falls betweenSeptember 21 andSeptember 23 depending onthe year. This day is knownas the fall equinox. On thisday the amount of sun andthe amount of night areequal, which is the same asthe Spring equinox. The lastday of Autumn falls onDecember 21 to December23.

Standing an EggThere are only two days

of the year when you canstand an egg on end. One ofthese days falls on the first

day of autumn. To do this youwill need an egg. It does nothave to be hard-boiled. Placethe egg on a hard flat surfaceon its largest end. Carefullypull your hands away and itshould remain upright. Thiscan only be done on thespring and fall equinox.

Why Do Leaves Fall OffLeaves are the energy

generators for plants. Byusing sunlight, water and car-bon dioxide and chlorophyllthey create food for the tree.The trees then pass oxygeninto the air. The reason thatthe leaves change color isdue to the shortening of thedays. As this occurs theleaves begin to produce lesschlorophyl and change color.Many people think that theleaves turn color but this isnot true. The leaves are actu-ally the colors we see in thefall. The reason that the

leaves are green is becausethey are full of chlorophyll.

Animals HibernateToward the end of the

season, depending on whereyou live, mammals and rep-tiles will begin to prepare forthe winter. Animals such asbears, groundhogs and othersmall mammals will fatten upfor the long winter months.They will select a secludedplace where they will be ableto stay warm and dry andthen sleep through coldmonths when food is scarce.Many cold-blooded reptileswill perform the same act.Frogs and snake will find awarm comfortable spot andsleep until the spring thaw.Certain birds are also migra-tory and will begin to movesouth as the weather coolsthe water and causes plantsthat they use as food to dieoff. As the lakes in the north

freeze Canadian Geese willleave their summer homes inCanada and use one of themany flight ways in theUnited States to reachwarmer climates.

It Is Not Fall All Over theWorld

The earth is tilted on itsaxis and that is what gives usour traditional four seasons. Itis because of this tilt that notall area's of the earth experi-ence the autumn in the samemonths. In Australia, NewZealand and South AfricaThe months of September,October and November areactually spring. This isbecause the tilt of the earthcauses these regions to actu-ally be closer to the sun. Inthe Northern Hemisphere thesun's rays are not hitting theplanet as direct as they do inthe south.

Leaves Word Search

• Leaves require sunlight, water, chlorophylland carbon dioxide to make food for them-selves.• As winter approaches, leaves make a coat-ing for themselves which blocks their watersource; in the absence of water, the leaves nolonger produce chlorophyll (chlorophyll is whatmakes leaves green).• When the leaves turn colors in the fall, theyactually are returning to their normal colors.During the summer months, the chlorophyllpresent in the leaves causes the leaves toturn green, blocking the leaves' actual colors.• Along with chlorophyll, leaves contain twoother chemicals that cause coloring. The firstis called xanthophyll, which is yellow in color.The other is carotene, which is orange incolor.• Red and purple leaves are actually causedby the presence of sugars from sap that istrapped inside of the leaves.• Once the leaves have turned brown, theyare dead and no longer receive any nutrients.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The giant panda cubborn a week ago at the National Zoo in Washing-ton died Sunday morning, saddening zoo officialsand visitors who had heralded its unexpected ar-rival.The 4-ounce cub, about the size of a stick of but-

ter, showed no obvious signs of distress and madeits final recorded noise shortly before 9 a.m. Sun-day, zoo officials said at a news conference.The cub’s mother, Mei Xiang, then made an un-

usual honking sound at 9:17 a.m. that her keepersinterpreted as a distress call, and she moved awayfrom where she had been nesting with the cub.About an hour later, one keeper distracted herwith honey water while another used an instru-ment similar to a lacrosse stick to pick up the cub.The cub, whose gender could not be determined

externally, was not breathing and its heart hadstopped. A veterinarian attempted CPR before itwas pronounced dead at 10:28 a.m.

ANNIE LEIBOVITZ stands near some of her work before the opening of her exhi-bition at the Wexner Center for the Arts Friday in Columbus. Leibovitz's exhibi-tion features work from her “Master Set,” an authoritative edition of 156 images.

COLUMBUS (AP) —Ohio State UniversityPresident E. GordonGee has spent $7.7 mil-lion on top of his record-setting compensation totravel, entertain, andmaintain his 9,600-square-foot mansion, anOhio newspaper’s inves-tigation has found.The review by The

Dayton Daily News de-tailed spending by the68-year-old Gee thatcomes on top of $8.6 insalary and benefits he’scollected since returningto Columbus to lead theuniversity in October2007.Records obtained by

the newspaper throughrecords requests showedGee travels the globeoften on private jetsstaying in luxury hotelssometimes reached bylimousine, dines atcountry clubs and fancyrestaurants, and throwsdozens of expensive par-ties a year for thou-sands of guests.In a statement, the

university said endow-ments and private dona-tions — not tuition ortax dollars — are usedto fund Gee’s travel anduse of the residence. Hedid not grant the news-paper an interview forthe story.Spokesman Jim

Lynch said since arriv-ing at the university,Gee’s efforts have gener-ated $1.6 billion from

donors. Steps taken byGee over the past twoyears have yielded an-other $1 billion in in-vestments, returns onbusiness deals, and sav-ings, Lynch said.“The University has

rigorous standards andprocesses in planningthe president’s budgetand reviewing his ex-penses,” the universitystatement said. Itadded, “A significantproportion of PresidentGee’s time, travel, anduse of the UniversityResidence is devoted toresource-generation tosupport the work of ourstudents and faculty. “To come up with its

expense tally, the DailyNews reviewed recordsdocumenting Gee’s workday, housing, AmericanExpress statements,travel expenses, and dis-cretionary spending re-ports.The investigation

found the universityspent more than$895,000 for gatheringsat Gee’s mansion in theColumbus suburb ofBexley, the PizzutiHouse, between April2008 and June 2011.University records

showed Gee hosted16,000 guests at 275

events over the last fiveyears, up from 5,757guests at 138 eventshosted by his predeces-sor Karen Holbrook, thenewspaper reported.Gee’s parties are con-

sidered an essentialpart of the president’soutreach to the commu-nity and donors. Theyfeature specially de-signed and printed invi-tations, shuttle busesand parking valets, mu-sicians and photogra-phers, decorations andfresh flowers.Guests to Gee’s recep-

tions included cyclistLance Armstrong, actorSidney Poitier, the pres-ident of Bangladesh andCNN correspondentsSanjay Gupta andDavid Gergen, students,neighbors, journalistsand politicians.The review found the

university spent morethan $64,000 since 2007branding Gee aroundhis signature bow tiewith ties, bow tie cook-ies and O-H and bow tiepins.Lynch said, “It’s a

nice icebreaker. Thefreshmen show up oncampus and PresidentGee hands them acookie. They love it. Thestudents love it.”

COLUMBUS (AP) —It was a job for AnnieLeibovitz to cull the first40 years of her wide-ranging life as a photog-rapher down to a core“master set” of museum-quality prints.The 63-year-old Lei-

bovitz had so many piv-otal moments to drawfrom: her thousands of

assignments for RollingStone, Vanity Fair andVogue; her enviable ac-cess to rock stars, ath-letes, dancers andpoliticians; and volumesof personal photo-graphs.Leibovitz aimed for

100 prints to have forher three children, butultimately landed at

156. The full set is dis-played for the first timein its entirety at theWexner Center for theArts. The show contin-ues through Dec. 30.John Lennon clinging

OSU president spends$7.7M to travel, entertain

BY STEVE PEOPLESAssociated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP)— Mitt Romney’s presi-dential campaign stroveto turn the page on aweek of public stumblesand Republican hand-wringing Sunday, prom-ising a redoubled effortin the most competitivestates to undercut his op-ponent’s economic recordas voters tune in for thefinal six weeks of a dead-locked race.President Barack

Obama, taking a rarebreak from the cam-paigning ahead of an ad-dress to world leaders onTuesday, dispatched topallies to try to keep Rom-ney’s missteps alive inthe minds of a dwindlingcadre of undecided vot-ers.Both candidates were

looking ahead to the piv-otal next phase of thecampaign, where thethree presidential de-bates — the first on Oct.3 in Denver — presentthe greatest opportuni-ties to speak directly tovoters or to get trippedup by a gaffe-turned-sound bite with littletime to recover beforeElection Day.

Rehearsal for thosedebates consumed theearly part of the day forthe former Massachu-setts governor, who hud-dled with senior advisersin Los Angeles ahead ofan evening campaignstop at a Denver-areahigh school. Romney hasconsistently taken timefrom his campaignschedule in recent weeksto focus on debate prepa-ration — whether study-ing up on policy issues orroleplaying with OhioSen. Rob Portman, whohas been tapped to playObama in Romney’s de-bate dry runs.While both sides are

downplaying expecta-tions, Romney’s cam-paign sees the debates—the first one in particular— as a huge opportunityto get his campaign andits message back ontrack after a troublesomeweek.A secretly recordedvideo released Mondayshowed Romney writing

off his prospects for win-ning over the almost halfof Americans who hesaid pay no taxes, are de-pendent upon govern-ment and see themselvesas victims dominated theweek.“That certainly was a

political analysis at afundraiser, but it’s not agoverning philosophy,”Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., a prominent Rom-ney supporter, said onNBC’s “Meet the Press.””He absolutely has a vi-sion for 100 percent ofAmerica. And that is re-ally different from thispresident.”But even many con-

servatives were publiclysweating over the re-marks, which seemed toplay into Democrats’ car-icature of Romney as anout-of-touch plutocrat.Also dogging Romneywere reports of internalfinger-pointing and ques-tions about his foreignpolicy judgment.

Rare turtleavoids soupTAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A

rare sea turtle that aFlorida fisherman wantedto cook and eat has been re-leased back into the wild.Officials at The Florida

Aquarium say the fisher-man snagged theKemp's ri-dley sea turtle in May.Instead of releasing it, heput the 15-pound juvenileturtle in a tank in his back-yard in Tampa.Aquarium official Susan

Coy tells The Tampa Trib-une that the fishermanplanned to cook and eat theendangered species, but aneighbor reported him toauthorities.It’s not unheard of for

turtle meat to be used indishes such as soups.Gary Morse, a

spokesman for the FloridaFish andWildlife Conserva-tion Commission, says thefisherman told investiga-tors he didn’t know the tur-tle was endangered.The turtle named

“Lucky” was rehabilitatedat the aquarium untilWednesday,when it was re-leased.

ISRAELI SOLDIERS and relatives react during the funeral of Cpl. Netanel Yahalomi, 20, in theIsraeli city of Modiin, early Sunday. Yahalomi was killed Friday in a shootout between Islamicmilitants and Israeli troops along Israel's southern border with Egypt. The Israeli troops re-turned fire, killing the militants.

BY JOSEF FEDERMANAssociated Press

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli officials saidSunday they would resist any Egyptian at-tempts to reopen the military arrangementsunder the countries’ historic peace deal, despitethe rapidly deteriorating security situation inEgypt’s Sinai peninsula.But following a series of attacks staged by

militants in the Sinai, including a raid thatkilled an Israeli soldier last week, Israel mayhave no choice but to allow Egypt to beef up itsforces in the largely demilitarized border area.Friday’s shooting is likely to fuel new Egypt-

ian calls to reopen the peace treaty. In recentyears, as shadowy militant groups have grownmore active in the Sinai, Egyptian security offi-cials have said they need to be allowed morefirepower to bring the area under control.AnsarJerusalem, a group inspired by al-Qaida that ishostile to both Israel and Egypt, claimed re-sponsibility for the latest attack.For now, Israel is standing tough. Israel’s

hard-line foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman,said Sunday that Israel would not agree toreevaluate the terms of the peace deal.

“There is no chance that Israel will agree toany kind of change,” he told Israel Radio. “TheEgyptians shouldn’t try to delude themselves ordelude others, and they should not rely on thisdemand.”Lieberman said troop strength was not the

issue and suggested the Egyptian military wasjust not prepared to tackle the challenge.“The problem in Sinai is not the size of the

forces, it is their readiness to fight, to put pres-sure and to carry out the job as is needed,” hesaid.The 1979 peace accord, the first between Is-

rael and anArab country, has been a foundationfor regional stability for three decades.For Egypt, it brought the return of the Sinai,

captured by Israel in the 1967Middle East war,and access toAmerican aid andweapons.For Is-rael, it allowed the military to divert preciousresources to volatile fronts with Lebanon, Syriaand the Palestinians.This arrangement, however, has been jolted

by the growing unrest in the Sinai since an up-rising toppled longtime Egyptian PresidentHosni Mubarak last year. Friday’s attack wasthe third deadly border raid since Mubarak’souster.

BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) —The Libyan army on Sundaysaid it raided several militiaoutposts operating outside gov-ernment control in the capital,Tripoli, while in the east, themilitia suspected in the Sept. 11attack on the U.S. Consulatesaid it had disbanded on ordersof the country’s president.President Mohammed el-

Megaref said late Saturday allof the country’s militias mustcome under government au-thority or disband, a move thatappeared aimed at harnessingpopular anger against the pow-erful armed groups followingthe attack that killed the U.S.ambassador.The assault on the U.S. mis-

sion in Benghazi, which leftAmbassador Chris Stevens andthree other Americans dead,has sparked an angry backlashamong many Libyans againstthe myriad of armed factionsthat continue to run rampantacross the nation nearly a yearafter the end of the country’scivil war.OnFriday, residents of Beng-

hazi— the cradle of the Libyanrevolution last year that top-pled dictator Moammar Gad-hafi — staged a massdemonstration against themili-tias before storming the com-pounds of several armed groupsin the city in an unprecedentedprotest to demand the militiasdissolve.The government has taken

advantage of the popular senti-ment to move quickly.

LOS ANGELES (AP) —What is “Two and a Half Men”with Jon Cryer and withoutCharlie Sheen? Really goodwas the EmmyAwards verdictSunday as Cryer claimed thebest comedy actor trophy.“Don’t panic, people. Some-

thing has clearly gone terriblywrong. I’m stunned,” saidCryer, who on the red carpetbefore the show has expressedconfidence he wouldn’t win.Among others, he beat outtwo-time winner Jim Parsonsof “The Big Bang Theory.”

Ashton Kutcher, who joinedthe show after Sheen wasfired, wasn’t nominated.Julia Louis-Dreyfus was

honored as best actress incomedy for “Veep.”On the drama side, Aaron

Paul won best supportingdrama actor for “BreakingBad” and “Homeland” won thebest writing award. MaggieSmith of “Downton Abbey”won for best supporting ac-tress in a drama series.“Thank you Hollywood for

allowing me to be part of yourgroup,” said Paul, noting he’dmoved from Idaho to pursuehis dreams.

“Modern Family” made itlook easy as the comedy’s EricStonestreet and Julie Bowenclaimed supporting actorawards, although there was atleast a minor backlash onlineas some questioned whetherthe show had a deserving sea-son.Stonestreet was funny and

touching as he accepted for hisrole as half of a devoted gaycouple.“I wouldn’t be standing

here without Jesse Tyler Fer-guson, there is no Cam with-out Mitch,” he said, salutinghis co-star. “We get the awe-some opportunity to play these

two characters on TV andshow America and the worldwhat a loving couple we can bejust like everybody else.”Then he turned saucy: “I

never knew I’d be on TV as agay man, but I love the pic-tures of hairy chests you guysare sending me, it’s reallyamazing. Thank you forthose.”Among reality competitors,

“The Amazing Race” was hon-ored as best reality series,ninth time in 10 nominationsfor the award. Tom Bergeronof “Dancing With the Stars”won as best host of a realityseries.

Jon Cryer, ‘Modern Family’ win Emmys

WASHINGTON (AP) — LorettaMitchell is 100 percent sure she’s goingto vote in the presidential race come No-vember. She doesn’t have a clue who’llget that vote.That makes her a rare and highly

sought after commodity: an undecidedlikely voter.The challenge for President Barack

Obama and Republican Mitt Romney ishow to lay claim to this small but might-ily important swath of the electorate.These people are truly up for grabs,claim they’re intent on voting and yetaren’t paying that much attention.With six hard-fought weeks left in

the campaign, just 7 percent of likelyvoters have yet to pick a candidate, ac-cording to an Associated Press-GfK poll.When combined with those who areleaning toward one candidate or theother but far from firm in their choice,about 17 percent of likely voters arewhat pollsters consider “persuadable.”That includes 6 percent who give soft

support to Obama and 4 percent forRomney.Mitchell, a 68-year-old independent

from the small town of Lebanon, Ind.,voted for Obama in 2008 but says bothcandidates this year strike her as “truepoliticians, and I’m just really downwith Washington and politicians.”Like a lot of undecideds, she isn’t

sure what’s going to determine her bal-lot, and she’s in no rush to decide.The triggers for how and when the

undecideds will make up their mindsare intensely personal.So the campaigns have to hope to

pick them off as they pursue swinggroups in the most competitive states —segments of voters such as independ-ents, seniors and white working-classvoters.People such as Donna Olson, a 66-

year-old semi-retired truck driver fromOskaloosa, Iowa, who calls herself a for-mer Democrat.Olson expects to wait until November

to make up her mind, just as she didfour years ago, when her vote ulti-mately went to Republican John Mc-

Cain.“I don’t like either one of them,” Olson

says of Obama and Romney. She specifi-cally mentions Obama’s support for gaymarriage and Romney’s proposed taxbreaks for wealthy Americans.So how will she make up her mind?“I’m just trying to watch a little bit of

everything,” says Olson. “It probablywill come down to November, but I’mopen to see what happens between nowand then.”At least Olson’s tuned in to the race.

One huge hurdle for both sides in thenext six weeks will be getting the at-tention of the undecideds.While 69 percent of likely voters re-

port they’re paying a great deal of at-tention to the race, the figure drops to59 percent for persuadable likely voters.Among the larger group of all registeredvoters, just 31 percent of persuadablesshow much interest in the campaign.That’s one reason both campaigns

are pouring so much money into adver-tising in the most contested states, andwhy so many ads focus on the cam-paign’s central issue, the economy.

YOUR HOROSCOPE

DR. WAL-LACE: An ath-lete wrote to youcomp la in ingthat he wasdropped fromthe basketballteam becausehe wasn’t main-taining at leasta C average inall of his classes.I was astoundedthat you felt hewas unfairlytreated and should haveremained on the team.

Since you are a formerteacher and administra-tor, I would think that youwould consider maintain-ing good grades more im-portant than tossing aball through a rim.Pleaseexplain. —Teacher,Crown Point, Ind.

TEACHER: I agreethat the prime reason fora student to attend school

is to get a qualityeducation.

Some schooldistricts ban stu-dents from par-ticipating incompetitive ath-letics when theydo notmaintain asolid C average,but other stu-dents who do notmaintain this av-erage can be in aschool play, sing

in the school choir, play inthe school band and per-form in other extracurric-ular activities.

Since some athletesare not academicallygifted and must workhard to maintain a five-Cand one-D average, itseems unfair to punishthem and keep them fromenjoying a wonderful ex-perience — competitiveathletics. I believe that if

a student is a good citizenand is passing all of his orher classes, then the stu-dent should be eligible toparticipate in all extra-curricular activities.

I will admit that myanswer could be slanted aslight bit because I was ahead basketball coach be-fore becoming a principal.

DR. WALLACE: Myparents don’t like mychoice of friends, don’t likemy music, don’t like theway I wear my hair, don’tlike the way I dress and,in general, they don’t likethe younger generation.They thinkwe are all get-ting drunk, getting highon drugs, shooting eachother or getting pregnant.I admit that my friendsand I “march to a differ-ent drummer,” but we arenot bad kids.

What do you think oftoday’s teens? You should

have an opinion since youwrite a column for us. —Tina, Rochester, N.Y.

TINA: I have the op-portunity to travelthroughout the UnitedStates and Canada,speaking to large groupsof teens, and I’m pleasedwithwhat I see.Yes, someteens are having difficultyliving harmoniously inour society, but theseteens are in the minority.

A survey reported inPsychology Today foundthat nearly three-quar-ters of the teenswere gen-erally happy, welladjusted and cared aboutothers. They also hadgood feelings about theirfamilies.

It’s unfortunate thatthe teens who do “wrong”create newspaper stories,while thosewho do “right”seldom see their names inprint!

Dear Heloise: I read yourreply to a question regard-ing the shelf life of olives.We use olives a lot and keepthem in their original brinein the refrigerator.

The past few months,when we’ve opened a jarthat some olives have beenused out of, there has beenmold on the top, they’vetasted funny, and we’veended up throwing themout. What do you suggest?

— I.H., via emailHmmm. Olive manufac-

turers say olives last for upto 12 months in the jar inthe refrigerator. ButNEVER use your fingers toget the olives out of the jar!You may be adding bacteriaor germs. If white film ormold develops, simply re-move it by tipping over thejar and pouring out thefilm. You can add a tea-spoon or so of vinegar to the

jar to keep this film fromforming. The olives stillshould be safe to eat. How-ever, if they taste funny,then you should throwthem out! — Heloise

EGG HINTSDear Heloise: When I

am buying eggs, I alwaysopen the carton and giveeach egg a twist to makesure it isn’t broken orcracked. — Georgia D. inNorth Carolina

Our ShelbyCounty FarmTour was a weekago. We had agreat turnout,good questionsand feedback,and beautifulweather!A great big

thank you to allthe host familieswho welcomedthe public ontotheir propertiesand shared their storiesabout agriculture and na-ture: Art Ayers at Tri-LaneFarms;MikeSchaferat Schafer Dairy; Barband Ron Heilers; Missyand Jim Bennett; Garyand Karen Beaver, MattandBeckyBeaver;Harold,Craig andCraig Langston(Jr. and Sr.).

Others helpedOf course, I’d be remiss

if I didn’t also recognizeothers that made this ac-tivity such a success: Dr.Deb Stanfield providedthe “opportunity to milk acow” at Schafer Dairy;Marvin and Barb Ditmershared Shelby County’soldest brick house; andDan Wenrick showed offhis buffalo herd.TheMas-ter Gardeners (repre-sented byLarryDicke andJudy Frilling) answeredquestions and shared in-formation on their activi-ties.Food is always good:

TheDairyBoosters servedice cream, the ShelbyCounty Cattlemen hadribeye samples, and thePork Producers providedpork loin for attendees.Thank you all!To minimize corn

losses, avoid harvest de-lays. Identify fields thatare at greatest risk forstalk lodging and harvest

those fields first.Drought con-

ditions experi-enced duringgrain fill often in-crease the poten-tial for lodgingproblems in corn.Stalk lodging re-sults from stalkrot, which manyplant patholo-gists consider themost significantyield-limiting dis-

ease of corn.For a corn plant to re-

main healthy and free ofstalk rot, the plant mustproduce enough carbohy-drates by photosynthesisto keep cells in the stalkalive as well as meetingthe demands for grain fill.When corn is subjected todrought stress duringgrain fill, photosyntheticactivity is reduced. Withthe resulting lack of carbo-hydrates, the plant“steals” from the stalk toensure carbs for the devel-oping ear. As plants nearmaturity, this removal ofnutrients from the stalk tothe developing grain re-sults in a rapid deteriora-tion of the lower portion ofcorn plants in droughtstressed fields.

SymptomA symptom common to

all stalk rots is the deteri-oration of the inner stalktissues so that one ormoreof the inner nodes can eas-ily be compressed whensqueezing the stalk be-tween thumband finger.Away to predict lodging is topush the stalks, at the earlevel, 6 to 8 inches fromthe vertical. If the stalkbreaks between the earand the lowest node, stalkrot is usually present.Fields that experienced

drought stress or defolia-

tion due to hail, foliar dis-ease, injury, etc., would beprime candidates for earlyharvest. (In this area oftheworld, that includes al-most all of them, right?!Yes, corn harvest has al-ready begun in somepartsof this area.)“Safety” is one of those

issues that should be inthe forefront of ourthoughts at all times.Working in agriculture isdifferent than working inother businesses in thatall ages are involved. Weneed to take precautionsto protect ourselves andthose we love. Farmerswork in one of the mosthazardous industries inthe United States. Keep-ing everyone safe andhealthy is a family affair.

Managing safetyFrom a safety stand-

point, managing safetyand health risks in anagricultural operation canbe similar to that in otherbusinesses. Families canwork together to protectagainst hazards by follow-ing recommended bestmanagement practices.When they do this, theyare alsomaking a commit-ment to remain a sustain-able business. Everydayroutines for farm familiesto follow are 1) havingrules in place for everyoneto observe; 2) having akeen eye to scout out pos-sible hazardous conditionsand correcting them; 3)having respect for thedangers that exist; and 4)not taking matters of per-sonal safety and protec-tion lightly. Have a safeharvest!

Good soil is the founda-tion of a healthy lawn. Togrow well, your lawnneeds soil with good tex-ture, some key nutrients,and the right pH, or acid-ity/alkalinity balance.Start by checking the

texture of your soil to seewhether it’s heavy withclay, light and sandy, orsomewhere in between. Lawns growbest in soil with intermediate or loamysoils that have a mix of clay, silt, andsand.It’s important not to over-fertilize —

you could do more harm to your lawnthan good— and it’s best to use a slow-release fertilizer that feeds the lawnslowly. It’s also important to check thesoil’s pH. Grass is best able to absorbnutrients in a lightly acidic soil, with apH of 6.5 to 7.0.

Grass typesWhy struggle to grow grass that’s

susceptible to fungal disease if you livein a humid climate? Or a water-lovingspecies if you live in an area with watershortages? Grass that is well-adoptedto your area will grow better and resistlocal pests and diseases better. Thereare also grass types that grow best ei-ther in shady areas or sunny areas.Check with the Shelby County Exten-sion agent or a local garden shop for thebest grass for your needs.Mowing high— that is, keeping your

lawn a bit long—will produce stronger,healthier grass with fewer pest prob-lems.A lawn’s ideal length will vary with

the types of grass, but many turf grassspecies are healthiest when kept be-tween 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 inches.The rule of thumb is to mow often

enough that you never cut more thanone-third of the height of the grassblades.Watering properly will help your

lawn grow deep roots that make itstronger and less vulnerable todrought. Most lawns are watered toooften but with too little water. It’s bestto water only when the lawn really

needs it, and then towater slowly and deeply.Try to water your lawn

in a way that imitates aslow, soaking rain, byusing trickle irrigation,soaker hoses, or otherwater-conserving meth-ods. It’s also best to waterin the early morning, es-pecially during hot sum-

mer months, to reduce evaporation.Apply about an inch of water-enoughthat it soaks 6-8 inches into the soil.Then let the lawn dry out thoroughlybefore watering it again. Place a raingauge in the watering area to measurethe amount of water the lawn is receiv-ing when using sprinklers.All grass forms a layer of dead plant

material, known as thatch, between thegrass blades and the soil.When thatchgets too thick — deeper than one-halfinch— it prevents water and nutrientsfrom penetrating to the soil and grassroots. Some grasses tend to form a thicklayer of thatch.Overuse of fertilizer canalso create a heavy layer of thatch.

Reduce thatchYou can reduce thatch by raking

the lawn or using a machine thatslices through the thatch layer tobreak it up. Sprinkling a thin layer oftopsoil or compost over the lawn willalso help.Setting realistic goals will allow

you to conduct an environmentallysensible lawn care program. It’s prob-ably not necessary to aim for putting-green perfection.Also realize that grass just can’t

grow well in certain spots.Why fight alosing battle with your lawn, whenyou have other options? At the base ofa tree, for example, you might havebetter luck with wood chips or shade-loving ornamental plants like ivy,periwinkle or pachysandra. If yourlawn area is very dry, consider con-verting some of your lawn to dry-gar-den landscaping or an area of thelawn remains wet for long periodsconsider a rain garden. It could savetime, money, and water resources.

The upcomingmonth of Octo-ber is a “dis-b u r s e m e n tmonth” for theconservation Re-serve Program(CRP) annualland rental andDirect Counter-cyclical Payment(DCP) programpayments. Since no ad-vance DCP payment wasauthorized for the currentprogram year, the fullamount will be paid toparticipating producers.The DCP payment for

a crop equals 85 percent ofthe farms crop acreagebase,multiplied by the di-rect payment yield, timesthe authorized paymentrate. FSA program pay-ments are direct depositedinto a producers desig-nated bank account.Landowners or farm

operators are remindedto report any changes ofland ownership, farm op-erator or tenant, finan-cial institution,nonagricultural land, es-tate, etc. to the county of-fice. This notification ofchange will render our of-fice records current andenable to the Farm Serv-ice Agency to correspondwith the correct personsor producers, properlyand accurately disbursepayments, and adminis-ter program benefits in atimely manner.Owners and operators

of highly erodible lands(HEL) are reminded to re-view and fully complywith all provisions of Con-servation compliance.Failure to complywith theCompliance plan, devel-oped by the producer andthe Natural ResourcesConservation Service

(NRCS) could re-sult in a loss ofUSDA programbenefits.Any change of

land use of devi-ation from the ef-f e c t i v ecompliance planmust be ap-proved by theNRCS district

conservationist. Spot-checks are scheduled todetermine producer com-pliance. Contact theNRCS or FSA office, lo-cated in theAg Center, forquestions or clarificationsof compliance procedures.The final date to pur-

chase 2013 wheat crop in-surance, change coveragelevels, or cancel a policy isOct. 1.A reminder to produc-

ZOAR (AP) — AnOhio village threatenedby an aging levee wouldreceive protection for itshistoric structuresunder a bill recently in-troduced in Congress byOhio’s two U.S. sena-tors.The bill requires the

U.S. Army Corps of En-gineers to preserve the

historic integrity of theeastern Ohio village ofZoar in any study orconstruction activitiesrelated to the village’slevee. The villagefounded in 1817 by reli-gious separatists is onthe National Register ofHistoric Places.The corps adminis-

ters the deteriorating

75-year-old levee and isworking on a study todetermine a solution tothe levee problems.One of many alterna-

tives under considera-tion is removing thelevee entirely. Thatcould require relocatingor demolishing 80 per-cent of the village ofabout 170 residents.

Probiotics use explained

Mom says wife is to blame for son’s filthy apartment

DEAR DR.DONOHUE: Myquestion is aboutprobiotics. I heardthat it is good totake them whenyou’re on antibi-otics, to replaceantibodies thatthe antibiotics de-stroy. Then Iheard it is good totake them all thetime. Please in-form me andother readers ifwe should be taking pro-biotics. — P.L.

ANSWER: Probioticsare living bacteria orfungi added to foods orput in pills in the hopethat these good microbeswill become the predomi-nant organisms of the di-gestive tract andwill cureillnesses caused by badmicrobes. Some of thegood germs are lactobacil-lus, bifidobacterium andsaccharomyces.The illness you de-

scribe is Clostrid-ium difficile in-fection, whichalso goes by thenames antibiotic-associated colitisand pseudomem-branous colitis.In this condition,antibiotics takenfor some purposenot related to thedigestive tractkill off good bac-teria. That givesthe bad bacteria

a chance to become themajority bacteria. Thebad bacterium is C. diffi-cile. It leads to diarrhea,which can be profuse.Stopping the antibioticusually stops the diar-rhea. If it doesn’t, thenantibiotics that specifi-cally target C. difficileare prescribed. Probioticshave been used for thiscondition.Probiotics also are used

to combat constipation, tocalm irritable bowel syn-

drome and to cure a con-dition called bacterialvaginosis.They have beenproposed aswell for ulcer-ative colitis and Crohn’sdisease.An exciting newdiscov-

ery is that probioticsmight reduce artery hard-ening — arteriosclerosis,the underlying problemformost heart attacks andmany strokes. The re-puted effect comes fromthe body’s decreased pro-duction of a substancecalled TMAO (trimethy-lamine N-oxide). If thistheory proves to be true, itwill be a major break-through in curing somemajor diseases.Taking probioticswhile

taking antibiotics hasbeen proposed by some asa preventive step for pro-tection against C. difficileinfection. It’s not standardpractice.You don’t need to take

probiotics on a regularbasis.

DEAR DR. DONO-HUE: Does anyone makea home cholesterol devicethat gives you a reading ofyour cholesterol? If so,where do I get one?Should diabetics wearsocks? What materialshould they be?Are there any foods, vi-

tamins or supplementsthat lower blood sugarand cholesterol at thesame time? — J.

ANSWER: I don’tknow of any device thatprovides home testing ofcholesterol. Diabeticshave to be careful aboutfeet infections. Theydon’t have to wear socks.It they prefer to wearthem, the common sockmaterials are up to themto choose. And finally Idon’t know of any food,vitamin or supplementthat lowers both choles-terol and blood sugar si-multaneously. Youpitched me three curve-balls, and I struck out.

DEAR ABBY:I am very con-cerned for myhenpecked sonwho is expectinghis first child. Heworks long hours(50-plus a week)at a low-payingjob with an hourcommute. Hiswife works part-time (10 hours aweek). The prob-lem is, their tinyapartment is a pigsty, andshe doesn’t clean or pickup. She expects him to doit all, and he tries to,whileshe reads andmakes babyquilts.How do I tactfully get

her to do her share now,before the baby comes andshe expects my son to“help her” even more? Heis totally overburdened,stressed out, but seem-

ingly happy. UntilI saw the condi-tion of their apart-ment I hadsuspected it wasbad, but had noidea how bad thesituation reallywas. — DE-SPAIRING MOMIN CONNECTI-CUT

DEAR DE-S P A I R I N GMOM: Not know-

ing your daughter-in-law,I can’t judge whether sheis lazy, orwhether the rea-son she isn’t doing morearound the apartment ispregnancy-related. Yousay your son is happy. BeGRATEFUL for that.Rather than“tactfully get-ting her to do her share,”why not volunteer to helpthem until your grand-child is on a regular sleep

schedule? It would makeyou appear to be an angelinstead of critical, andbring the three of you a lotcloser than you appear tobe. However, if your offeris refused, then acceptthat this is how your sonand daughter-in-law pre-fer to live.

DEAR ABBY: I spenttonight in a parking lot,knowing I had no options.My husband of 25 years isan alcoholic and abusive. Ihave two teenage childrenat home. I’m in bad healthand haven’t worked indecades. I’m trapped.I have the typical argu-

ments with my daughter.My son is a gem whostays home because hedoesn’t want to leave uswith his father. It’s a sadsituation.While catching up on

reading Dear Abbytonight, I saw a numberfor an abuse hotlinewhere they will help mewith a plan to leave. Ihave no money, no chanceof getting a job. But thatnumber gave me a glim-mer of hope. It seems toogood to be true, but I’llmake that call. Thankyou, Abby. — BEATENDOWN INTEXAS

SPORTS

In a game that was truly atale of two halves, Sidneydominated Belmont in thesecond half to win 49-14 andimprove to 3-2 on the season.After a lackluster first half

that saw many opportunitiespass the Jackets by, Sidneytrailed 14-3.But the Jackets came out

with a new-found energy andoutscored Belmont 46-0 in thesecond half.The only time the ball

crossed into Sidney territorythe entire second half, waswhen Andre Spillers teed theball up for kickoffs.“It would have been easy to

yell, lose our cool, and panic athalftime,” said head coachAdam Doenges. “But we justtold the kids that what wewere doing would work. Wejust needed to finish off plays.We did a much better job ofthat in the third quarter.”After Sidney turned the

ball over on downs early inthe first quarter, Jalyn Sim-mons ran it in from 16 yardsout to give Belmont a 6-0 lead.The Jackets appeared to be

driving to answer the Bel-mont score, when a fumblewas recovered by the Bisondeep in their own territory.The teams would exchange

possessions the rest of thefirst quarter, but early in thesecond quarter, Belmontstruck again. Edward Taylorgot around the edge of theSidney defense and scam-pered 61 yards for a touch-down. The two point

conversion was good and Bel-mont led 14-0 early in the sec-ond quarter.Late in the half, Sidney fi-

nally got on the scoreboard.Taylor Shepherd had his firstof two blocked punts to set theJackets up at Belmont’s 19-yard line. Sidney would stallon the four, and Spillers camein to nail a 21-yard field goalto make the score 14-3.The teams would go into

halftime, and seemingly twodifferent teams would emergefrom the locker rooms 20 min-utes later.On the initial possession of

the second half, Sidney usedtackles for losses by Noah

Straman, Conner Boden-miller, Zach Scott, and DariusSouthern to put Belmont in afourth down and 32.Shepherd then struck

again with another blockedpunt. This time it was recov-ered by Darius Southern for aSidney touchdown to makethe score 14-9.“That was something that

we really wanted to take ad-vantage of,” said Doenges ofthe punt blocks. “We saw thatwe could have an advantageon special teams againstthem, so we put in a fewthings on the punt block andkickoff teams, and theyworked out well for us.”

The next possession forBelmont was actually worsethan the first. They foundthemselves this time in afourth-and-35. As a result,the Jackets would start fromthe Bison 29.The ensuing drive would

stop at the 18, but Spillerscame on to make another fieldgoal – this time from 35 yardsto make the score 14-12.On the following posses-

sion, after two tackles-for-lossby Bodenmiller, Southernstruck again. This time it wasa fumble recovery to set upSidney on Belmont’s 24.

OHIO STATE’S Christian Bryan stiff-arms Alabama-Birming-ham’s Vashon Landers Saturday at Ohio Stadium. The Bucks

struggled, but won 29-15 to go to 4-0 on the year headinginto Big Ten play.

BY JIM NAVEAUCivitas Media

COLUMBUS – A tell-talesign that no one, absolutely noone, expected Ohio State’s 29-15 football win over Alabama-Birmingham on Saturday tobe as close as it was could befound about 20 yards beyondthe north end zone in OhioStadium.Usually, the visiting team’s

fans can be measured in thethousands at an OSU game.But only a group of maybe ahundred UAB fans, huddledin a corner of the lower deck ofthe stadium, made the tripfrom Alabama.There were not a lot of be-

lievers in UAB. But there weremany doubters of No. 16 OhioState (4-0) after it struggled toput away the winless Blazers.Fans expected to see the

Buckeyes quickly dismisswhat was supposed to be a

non-descript opponent.UAB came into the game

ranked last nationally in scor-ing defense. Las Vegas hadOSU as a five touchdown fa-vorite. Former Ohio Stateplayers were on the radio ontheir pre-game shows talkingabout how some freshmenmight get to play almost halfof the game after the starterstook care of business early.None of that was looking

very good when UAB jumpedout to a 9-0 lead in the first fiveminutes of the second halfafter scoring on a blocked punt.All of that excessive exu-

berance was long gone whenthe Blazers had a first downat Ohio State’s 19-yardline,just one big play from takingthe lead in the first minute ofthe fourth quarter.But in the end, Ohio State

got the result that was ex-pected. It just didn’t do itnearly as impressively as any-

one expected, including coachUrban Meyer.“I think we seem like a very

passive team,” he said. “Theydidn’t score a touchdown on ourdefense but we gave up a lot ofyardage. On offense, our explo-siveness was obviously non-ex-istent for much of the game.“The fact is we’re a bend

but don’t break defense, whichis painful to watch. We’re nota very good offense right now.We have to get a lot better andfast,” he said, looking ahead toOSU’s Big Ten opener atMichigan State this Saturday.UAB’s Calvin Jones

blocked Ben Buchanan’s punton Ohio State’s first posses-sion and Nick Adams pickedit up and went 20 yards for atouchdown to put the Blazersup 6-0 early.A 47-yard field goal by Ty

Long, the first of three in thegame for him, made it 9-0with 10:27 left in the first

half.Ohio State responded with

back-to-back 75-yard scoringdrives. The first ended withRod Smith scoring on a 1-yardrun and the other was finishedoff by a 12-yard run by quar-terback Braxton Miller thatgave Ohio State a 14-12 lead.A UAB fumble set up Ohio

State for a third score in thesecond quarter, this one on a2-yard run by Zach Boren thatput the Buckeyes in front 21-12 at halftime.It wasn’t until Miller

scored on a 1-yard run withfive minutes to play, then ranfor a two-point conversionthat Ohio State was able toput Alabama-Birminghamaway for good, though.“We won but we still need

to get better,” said runningback Jordan Hall, who gained105 yards on 17 carries. “Wehave to fix the things thatneed fixed and get better.”

Bucks struggle, but go to 4-0

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) —On the first play of the game,quarterback Andy Daltonlined up wide right, rookie re-ceiverMohamed Sanu took theshotgun snap, and A.J. Greendarted downfield to haul in a73-yard touchdown pass.The Washington Redskins

fans came to see some razzle-dazzle in Robert Griffin III’shome debut. They saw Daltonand the Cincinnati Bengals doit better.Sanu-to-Green was just the

opening statement in a gamefull of innovative plays, fancymoves and mood swings. TheBengals produced three first-half touchdowns on plays thatsnapped the ball to three dif-ferent players, blew a 17-pointlead, rallied in the fourthquarter and survived a bizarrefinal sequence Sunday in a 38-31 win over the Redskins.“The creativity that we’ve

got here, talent that we haveat wide (receiver), the runningbacks, the different things thatwe’re doing, it’s big,” Daltonsaid. “You try to find a way toget an advantage in the game,and we found a couple today.”The Bengals (2-1) have

made their reputation on de-fense, but now their offenselooks in step with the evolvingscore-a-whole-lot-every-weekNFL. Cincinnati’s offense hasput up 30-plus points in back-to-back weeks for the firsttime since November 2006.“We’re making plays,”

Green said, “all over the field.”No doubt about that. They

ran several end-arounds,used ano-huddle package that befud-dled the Redskins, let Ben-JarvusGreen-Ellis take a directsnap on a 1-yard touchdownrun and had touchdown com-pletions of 48, 59 and 73 yards.Dalton completed 19 of 27

passes for 328 yards and threetouchdowns. Green caughtnine passes for a career-high183 yards and a score.

Browns lose 24-14When C.J. Spiller got hurt,

the Buffalo Bills lost theNFL’s leading rusher, most oftheir momentum and anothermajor offensive threat.Ryan Fitzpatrick wouldn’t

let them lose the game.Fitzpatrick threw three

touchdown passes and thebetter-than-advertised Billsovercame the loss of Spiller toa shoulder injury and beat theCleveland Browns 24-14 onSunday to snap an eight-gameroad losing streak.Fitzpatrick, doing just

enough to keep Buffalo’s of-fense moving, finished 22 of 35for 208 yards as the Bills (2-1)turned to their passing gameafter Spiller, who has been fill-ing in for Fred Jackson, wentdown in the first quarter withan injury that will likely side-line him a few weeks.Before he went out, Spiller,

who came in leading theleague with 292 rushingyards, scored on a 32-yardscreen pass from Fitzpatrick,who also threw a 9-yard TD toT.J. Graham in the first quar-ter and hooked up with StevieJohnson from 9 in the fourthto close the scoring.Bills coach Chan Gailey

does not expect Spiller to beback for next week's homegame against New England—and possibly longer.For the Browns (0-3), the

losing continues.Cleveland has lost nine

straight dating to last season,and one of the league'syoungest teams was not ableto build off a solid perform-ance last week in Cincinnati.“We just didn’t get it done,”

said coach Pat Shurmur, whodropped to 4-15 in two sea-sons. “There are no magicalanswers. We just didn’t get itdone.”
