Days after Isaac, thousands still in the dark
NEW ORLEANS (AP)
Tens of thousands of customers
remained in the dark Monday in
Louisiana and Mississippi, nearly
a week after Isaac inundated the
Gulf Coast with a deluge that still
has some low-lying areas under
water.
Most of those were in
Louisiana, where utilities reported
more than 100,000 people with-
out power. Thousands also were
without power in Mississippi and
Arkansas.
President Barack Obama vis-
ited Monday, a day ahead of the
Democratic National Convention,
and walked around storm dam-
age in St. John the Baptist Parish,
where subdivisions were soaked
in water from Isaac.
I know its a mess, Obama
said as he approached a resident
in the Ridgewood neighborhood.
But were here to help.
Republican presidential nomi-
nee Mitt Romney visited the state
Friday.
More than 2,800 people were
at shelters in Louisiana, down
from around 4,000. State offi-
cials were uncertain how many
people would eventually need
longer-term temporary housing.
Kevin Davis, head of the states
emergency office, said housing
would likely include hotels at
first, then rental homes as close
as possible to their damaged
property.
Progress was evident in many
places, though lingering flooding
remained a problem in low-lying
areas.
Crews in the town of Lafitte
intentionally breached a levee
Sunday night in an effort to help
flooding there subside, Jefferson
Parish Councilman Chris Roberts
told The Times-Picayune.
Much of Plaquemines Parish,
a vulnerable finger of land that
juts into the Gulf of Mexico,
remained under as much as 5 feet
of water, Parish President Billy
Nungesser said. The Category
1 hurricane walloped the parish,
and for many, the damage was
worse than that from Katrina in
2005.

LOS ANGELES (AP)
Michael Clarke Duncan was
one big, irresistible jumble of
contradictions.
His presence was formi-
dable, even intimidating: The
former bodyguard had a mus-
cular, 6-foot-4 frame, but it
was topped by the brightest of
megawatt smiles.
His gravelly baritone was
well-suited to everything from
animated films to action spec-
tacles, but no matter the role,
a warmth and a sweetness was
always evident underneath.
The prolific character
actor, whose dozens of movies
included an Oscar-nominated
performance as a death row
inmate in The Green Mile
and box office hits includ-
ing Armageddon, Planet
of the Apes and Kung Fu
Panda, died Monday at age
54. And although he only
turned to acting in his 30s,
its clear from the outpour-
ing of prayers and remem-
brances he received across the
Hollywood and sports worlds
that his gentle-giant persona
made him much-loved during
that relatively brief time.
Duncan died at Cedars-
Sinai Medical Center in Los
Angeles, where he was being
treated for a heart attack, said
his fiancie, reality TV person-
ality Rev. Omarosa Manigault,
in a statement released by
publicist Joy Fehily.
Duncan suffered a myo-
cardial infarction on July 13
and never fully recovered, the
statement said. Manigault is
grateful for all of your prayers
and asks for privacy at this
time. Celebrations of his life,
both private and public, will
be announced at a later date.
Tom Hanks, star of 1999s
The Green Mile the film
that earned a then-little-known
Duncan a supporting-actor
nomination at the Academy
Awards said he was terri-
bly saddened at the loss of Big
Mike. He was the treasure we
all discovered on the set of The
Green Mile. He was magic. He
was a big love of man and his
passing leaves us stunned.
In the spring of 2012,
Duncan had appeared in a
video for PETA, the animal
rights organization, in which
he spoke of how much better
he felt since becoming a veg-
etarian three years earlier.
I cleared out my refrig-
erator, about $5,000 worth of
meat, he said. Im a lot
healthier than I was when I
was eating meat.
Duncan had a handful
of minor roles before The
Green Mile brought him
accolades and fame. The 1999
film, based on the Stephen
King novel of the same name,
starred Hanks as a corrections
officer at a penitentiary in the
1930s. Duncan played John
Coffey, a convicted murder-
er with a surprisingly gentle
demeanor and extraordinary
healing powers.
Duncans performance
caught on with critics and mov-
iegoers and he quickly became
a favorite in Hollywood,
appearing in several films a
year. He owed some of his
good fortune to Bruce Willis,
who recommended Duncan
for The Green Mile after
the two appeared together
in Armageddon. Duncan
would work with Willis again
in Breakfast of Champions,
The Whole Nine Yards and
Sin City.
His industrial-sized build
was suited for everything from
superhero films (Daredevil)
to comedy (Talladega
Nights, School for
Scoundrels). He could have
made a career out of his voice
work alone, with appearances
in several animated and fam-
ily movies, including, Kung
Fu Panda, Racing Stripes
and Brother Bear. Among
Duncans television credits
were The Apprentice, Two
and a Half Men, The Suite
Life of Zack and Cody and a
new series, The Finder.
Born in Chicago in 1957,
Duncan was raised by a single
mother whose resistance to
his playing football led to his
deciding he wanted to become
an actor. But when his moth-
er became ill, he dropped
out of college, Alcorn State
University, and worked as a
ditch digger and bouncer to
support her. By his mid-20s,
he was in Los Angeles, where
he looked for acting parts and
became a bodyguard for Will
Smith, Jamie Foxx and other
stars. The murder of rapper
Notorious B.I.G., for whom
Duncan had been hired to pro-
tect before switching assign-
ments, led him to quit his job
and pursue acting full-time.
Early film and television
credits, when he was usually
cast as a bodyguard or bounc-
er, included Bulworth, A
Night at the Roxbury and
The Players Club.
LOS ANGELES (AP)
Hal David was a man of simple
words.
A writer by trade and
a journalist by education
David had a knack for encap-
sulating love, earnestness and
a wry sense of humor into a
melody that was just a few
minutes long. Wishin and
Hopin, the 1960s earworm
he wrote with Burt Bacharach,
was a rhyming how-to for gals
looking to snag a man. With a
wink, it snagged a new genera-
tion of fans when it opened the
1997 Julia Roberts film My
Best Friends Wedding.
Through theater, film and
TV, Davids songs transcend-
ed the time they were writ-
ten to become classics. With
Bacharach, he was one of the
most successful songwriting
teams in modern history.
The 91-year-old, who died
Saturday of complications from
a stroke four days earlier in Los
Angeles, always had a song in
his head, said his wife, Eunice
David. Even at the end, he was
always writing notes, or asking
me to take a note down, so he
wouldnt forget a lyric.
Bacharach and Davids hits
included Raindrops Keep
Fallin On My Head and
(They Long to Be) Close to
You. Many of the top acts
of their time, from Barbara
Streisand to Frank Sinatra and
Aretha Franklin, recorded their
music.
But the collaboration for
which they were best known
came in 1962, when they began
writing for a young singer
named Dionne Warwick.
Warwicks versatile
voice could convey the emo-
tion of Davids lyrics and
handle the changing patterns
of Bacharachs melodies.
Together the trio created a
chain of hits: Dont Make Me
Over, Walk On By, I Say a
Little Prayer, Do You Know
the Way to San Jose, Always
Something There to Remind
Me (which later was a hit
for the 1980s synth pop band
Naked Eyes), among others.
They were a triangle mar-
riage that worked, Warwick
wrote in her memoir, My
Life, As I See It. Bacharach
was the handsome one, and
David was level-headed a
thoughtful, gentle, sincere
man Warwick wrote.
Ever the writer (he stud-
ied journalism at New York
University), David said in a 1999
interview that he thought of song-
writing as telling a narrative.
The songs should be like
a little film, told in three or
four minutes. Try to say things
as simply as possible, which
is probably the most difficult
thing to do, he said.
The New York-based writ-
er often flew to Los Angeles,
where he and Bacharach holed
up for weeks of intense song-
writing. They also conferred
by telephone, a method that
birthed I Say a Little Prayer.
At 4:59 a.m. on Saturday,
Delphos Police were called to
the 200 block of West Cherry
Street in reference to a theft
complaint.
victim, it was found the vic-
tim had people over to the
residence and when the sub-
jects left, it was found that
someone had taken items from
inside the residence without
the victims permission.

CLEVELAND (AP)
Cleveland officials have assured
representatives of a World War
II vintage submarine memorial
that it will continue to be a val-
ued part of the northeastern Ohio
lakefront.
Paul Farace, director of the
USS Cod Submarine Memorial,
said he has wondered about
the impact of a proposed office
complex on city-owned property
where the sub is docked.
Memorial representatives
met city officials last week and
were assured that it is held in
high esteem. However, Farace
noted he was asked to be open
to the possibility of moving the
memorial elsewhere on the lake-
front.
The Cod is a very important
treasure, Chris Warren, chief
of regional development for
Mayor Frank Jackson, told The
(Cleveland) Plain Dealer. We
are committed to a continued
presence of the Cod on the lake-
front, and we will work with the
Cod toward that goal.
After the meeting, Farace
said he was cautiously optimis-
tic regarding the subs future.
They told me that any place
you go, or if you stay, youll
get the things you require to
maintain and preserve the Cod,
Farace said.
The subs current location
draws many of its 25,000 annual
visitors from people who park
at Burke Lakefront Airport and
spot the sub while walking to the
nearby Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame and Museum, Farace said.
The Cod pays the city $375 a
year to rent a 25-car parking lot
along the 312-foot dock where
the Cod is berthed, he said. The
site also includes a small grassy
area for exhibits and mainte-
nance facilities, and where com-
memorations, weddings, funer-
als and holiday events are held.
The Cod, which sank 15
Japanese ships during World
War II, came to Cleveland in
1959 as a Navy Reserve training
vessel. When the Navy decom-
missioned the sub in 1972 and
announced plans to scrap it, a
local Save the Cod campaign
was launched and the memorial
created in 1976.
The memorial has been des-
ignated as a National Historic
Landmark.

TOLEDO Democrats in
Ohio were hoping on Labor
Day that the sound defeat of
a Republican-backed union
law last year will carry over
into the November election
and give a boost to President
Barack Obama.
The president spent part of
the holiday campaigning at a
United Auto Workers rally in
Toledo, a city where organized
labor and the rescued auto
industry has a big presence.
Obama has been heavily
courting the labor vote, and
Vice President Joe Biden vis-
ited a northeast Ohio union
hall last Friday near a General
Motors assembly plant in
Lordstown.
There was no question
for Ellen Stoner of suburban
Northwood, a nurse and grand-
mother whos married to a
Jeep auto worker, that Obama
would win her vote.
The unions have a strong
voice and I think Obama
showed he would listen to
what they had to say, she
said, juggling two grandchil-
dren in oversized UAW Local
12 T-shirts on her lap. My
husbands an auto worker and
he saved his job basically. So I
think its important to support
those who support you.
Stoners son-in-law Michael
Powell, a worker at unionized
Cooper Tire in Findlay, said he
believes Ohio voters success-
ful repeal last year of collective
bargaining limits of public sec-
tor workers emboldened union
workers across the state.
Its a way to be successful
without Mommy and Daddy
having to spend $100,000
to send you to college, said
Powell, 30. Not everyone can
be a white-collar worker.
Labor unions came out
in full force last November
to reject the state law limit-
ing the bargaining abilities of
more than 350,000 teachers,
firefighters, police officers and
other public workers.
Democratic Rep. Marcy
Kaptur, who represents a dis-
trict that stretches from Toledo
to suburban Cleveland, said
she hears public employees at
union halls and firehouses who
remain angry over attempts to
clamp down on them.
Its not old news there. It
left a raw scar across the land-
scape, she said. That issue
resonated to the very core of
every person in the middle
class.
Republicans have down-
played any potential carry-over
effect and note that Ohio vot-
ers rejected Obamas health
insurance mandate in a largely
symbolic vote. They say other
issues will play a bigger role in
the election.
Kenneth Harbin, 21, a
member of the University of
Toledo College Republicans,
scoffed at Obamas decision
to visit the labor stronghold as
he waved Romney-Ryan signs
outside the rally.
Hes gotta come home and
say, Heres what I did for you,
now heres what you can do
for me, Harbin said.
Asked what bothered him
about the presidents strategy,
Harbin said, He doesnt know
what a budget is. I wish I could
run my life like that. Its the
auto bailout, its the stimulus,
its all of it.
Getting union voters in
Ohio to turn out in November
will be crucial for Democrats.
About 650,000 workers in the
state or 13 percent are
union members. The national
average is just under 12 per-
cent.
Biden has spent the past
two Labor Days in Ohio. He
attended a union gathering
in Cincinnati a year ago and,
the year prior, he marched in
Toledos Labor Day parade.

Akron Beacon Journal
STOW (AP) When
Stow Municipal Judge Kim
Hoover signed a search war-
rant for a marijuana-growing
operation last year, he hoped
he finally found what he was
looking for.
He tracked the case as
the Merriman Valley site
was raided and the defen-
dant worked his way through
Summit County Common
Pleas Court.
After the case ended in
a felony conviction, Hoover
made his move. He asked
Judge Mary Margaret
Rowlands whether he could
have the agricultural products
in the custody of her court.
She didnt hesitate,
Hoover said, and released to
him equipment that otherwise
would have been destroyed.
This summer, dozens of
needy families in the area are
eating fresh vegetables that
started as seeds under a drug
dealers grow lights.
Currently, the lights are
being used to nurture cabbage
sprouts, which will be planted
in September and harvested
later this fall.
Its just the latest twist
in Hoovers 2-year-old effort
to use nonviolent offenders
in cultivating produce on the
grounds of the Stow court-
house.
The project began last year
when Hoover offered cash-
poor defendants the opportu-
nity to work off fines by con-
structing raised garden beds
and growing tomatoes, pep-
pers, cucumbers and onions.
The result was 20 bushels
of food given to the Akron-
Canton Regional Foodbank
and to Good Neighbors.
This years crop, which
also included potatoes, more
than doubled because the
plantings got a head start in
the courthouse basement.
Court Administrator Rick
Klinger, who supervises the
community service workers,
said the seized equipment,
worth thousands of dollars,
also is saving the court the
cost of buying plant starts.
The cost of producing
our plants was less than $20,
compared to 10 times that
amount last year, Klinger
said.
To be honest, when the
court took possession of the
gear this spring, officials
were scratching their heads
over what to do with the
lights, tracks and transform-
ers. After all, there was no
instruction booklet.
Klinger and Hoover
chuckle as they recalled how
one of the garden volunteers
in their community service
program stepped up to admit
he knew how to assemble and
run the equipment.
You take something
as rotten as a drug dealers
agricultural setup, combine
it with a kid whos prob-
ably never felt good about
himself but has the chance to
do something important, and
in the end, youre delivering
truckloads of food to people
who need it, Hoover said.
Ohio court using seized drug lights for good
Dont leave inferences to be drawn when evidence can be presented.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)
Four years later Democrats
have gathered again, this time
in support of a president who
carries the power and the bur-
den of incumbency, both in
evidence as the opening gavel
is struck at the Democratic
National Convention.
President Barack Obama
demonstrated the power
Monday in a convention-eve
visit to hurricane-stricken
lands in Louisiana, offering
aid and empathy.
Michelle Obamas speech
today night is an early high-
light of a three-day schedule
that has drawn thousands of
delegates to a state Obama
narrowly carried in 2008.
Although Obama no longer
is the fresh-faced newbie
who leveraged a short Senate
career into an audacious run
for the nations highest office,
he still can excite partisans,
and Democrats were counting
on massive numbers to pack a
stadium for his speech later in
the week.
If hurricanes have no
politics, the aftermath does.
Obamas visit to stricken St.
John the Baptist Parish out-
side New Orleans after a spir-
ited Labor Day rally in battle-
ground Ohio demonstrated, if
in muted form, the partisan
divide that cleaves the presi-
dential campaign.
Obama emphasized the
governments determination
to lend a strong helping hand.
Romney focused on neighbor
helping neighbor in his visit
days earlier, even though
both support a mix of emer-
gency aid from the taxpayer
and volunteerism in response
to natural disasters.
Were here to help,
Obama told residents during
a brief tour Monday, going
from lawn to lawn in a neigh-
borhood of brick homes and
front yards loaded with soggy
but orderly piles of debris,
the floodwaters receded. He
told another family of the
steps officials were taking to
address the damage, adding,
I promise you that now that
Ive been here, theyre going
to make sure that they do it
right.
On convention eve,
Democrats released a party
platform for ratification today
that echoes Obamas call for
higher taxes on the wealthy
and reflects his shift on gay
marriage by supporting it
explicitly.
In a nod to dissenters on
gay marriage, the platform
expresses support for the
freedom of churches and reli-
gious entities to decide how
to administer marriage as a
religious sacrament without
government interference.
The president rallies in
Virginia on today before
joining the convention a
day later. With flourishes
but no suspense, Democrats
will march through the roll
call of states renominating
Obama for president and Joe
Biden for vice president on
Wednesday.
Thats also when the
convention hears from Bill
Clinton, whose 1990s presi-
dency is being trumpeted by
Democrats as the last great
period of economic growth
and balanced budgets a
further redemption of sorts,
at least from his party, for a
leader who survived impeach-
ment over sexual scandal.
In a USA Today inter-
view, Obama accused
Republicans of building their
campaign around a fictional
Barack Obama by wholly
misrepresenting his posi-
tions and words. He singled
out Romneys claim, widely
debunked, that the Obama
administration stripped a
work requirement out of fed-
eral welfare laws.
Obama came out with a
campaign commercial assert-
ing that, under Romney, a
middle-class family will pay
an average of up to $2,000
more a year in taxes, while
at the same time giving mul-
timillionaires like himself a
$250,000 tax cut. Aides said
it would be seen in Colorado,
Iowa, New Hampshire,
Nevada, Ohio and Virginia,
the battleground states where
the 2012 race for the White
House is likely to be decid-
ed.
The president and aides
have acknowledged for weeks
that they and the groups sup-
porting them are likely to
be outspent by Romney, and
recent figures say that has
been the case in television
advertising in the battle-
ground states for much of the
past two months.
A few blocks from the
convention hall in Charlotte,
union members staged a
Labor Day march through
downtown. Though sup-
porting Obama, they also
expressed frustration that he
and the Democrats chose to
hold their convention in a
state that bans collective bar-
gaining for teachers and other
public employees.
Dems open convention in
push for tested president
By STEPHEN
OHLEMACHER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON It
didnt take long for the Internet
to start buzzing with conspir-
acy theories after the Social
Security Administration posted
a notice that it was purchasing
174,000 hollow-point bullets.
Why is the agency that
provides benefits to retirees,
disabled workers, widows and
children stockpiling ammuni-
tion? Whom are they going to
use it on?
Its not outlandish to sug-
gest that the Social Security
Administration is purchasing
the bullets as part of prepara-
tions for civil unrest, the web-
site Infowars.com said.
Another website, The Daily
Caller, said the bullets must
be for use against American
citizens, since the SSA has
never been used overseas to
help foreign countries maintain
control of their citizens.
The clamor became such
a distraction for the agency
that it dedicated a website to
explaining the purchase. The
explanation, it turns out, isnt
as tantalizing as an arms build-
up to defend against unruly
senior citizens.
The bullets are for Social
Securitys office of inspector
general, which has about 295
agents who investigate Social
Security fraud and other crimes,
said Jonathan L. Lasher, the
agencys assistant IG for exter-
nal relations.
The agents carry guns and
make arrests 589 last year,
Lasher said. They execute
search warrants and respond to
threats against Social Security
offices, employees and cus-
tomers.
Agents carry .357 caliber
pistols, Lasher said. The bul-
lets, which add up to about 590
per agent, are for the upcom-
ing fiscal year. Most will be
expended on the firing range.
Some bloggers have taken
issue with the type of ammu-
nition the agency is buying,
questioning why agents need
hollow-point bullets. Hollow-
points are known for causing
more tissue damage than other
bullets when they hit a per-
son because they expand when
they enter the body.
The bullets, however, are
standard issue for many law
enforcement agencies, Lasher
said, a fact confirmed by the
directors of two law enforce-
ment training centers.
For practice ammunition,
they do not have to be hollow-
points, but hollow-points are
the normal police round used
for duty ammunition due to
their ability to stop when they
hit an object as opposed to
going through it and striking
more objects, said William
J. Muldoon, president of the
International Association of
Directors of Law Enforcement
Standards and Training.
The episode illustrates what
can happen when a seemingly
salacious tidbit gets ampli-
fied and embellished on the
Internet.
A few weeks ago, the
National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration
had a similar dustup when it
solicited bids for 46,000 rounds
of ammunition and shooting
targets, seemingly to arm work-
ers at the National Weather
Service. It turns out the notice
had a clerical error and the bul-
lets were for NOAAs Fisheries
Office of Law Enforcement,
the agency said.
Social Securitys turn in the
pillory hit a crescendo when Jay
Leno joked about it in a recent
monologue on The Tonight
Show. What senior citizens
are they worried about? Leno
asked. I mean, whos going to
storm the building?
Lasher said, Thats why
we opened a blog post. We
were getting a lot of inquiries
and the blog gave us a vehicle
to put all of the accurate infor-
mation out there in one place,
so that those who are interested
or concerned can read what the
real story is.
Why does Social Security need 174,000 bullets?
By ALICIA A.
CALDWELL and
EILEEN SULLIVAN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON A
senior Obama administra-
tion political appointee and
longtime aide to Homeland
Security Secretary Janet
Napolitano resigned Saturday
amid allegations of inappro-
priate sexual behavior lodged
by at least three Immigration
and Customs Enforcement
employees.
Suzanne Barr, chief of
staff to ICE Director John
Morton, said in her resigna-
tion letter that the allegations
against her are unfounded.
But she said she was stepping
down anyway to end distrac-
tions within the agency. ICE,
a division of the Homeland
Security Department, con-
firmed Barr had resigned. The
Associated Press obtained a
copy of Barrs letter.
Barr is accused of sexu-
ally inappropriate behavior
toward employees. The com-
plaints are related to a sexual
discrimination and retaliation
lawsuit filed by a senior ICE
agent in May.
In her letter to Morton,
Barr said she has been the
subject of unfounded allega-
tions designed to destroy my
reputation and is resigning
with great regret.
Of greater concern
however, is the threat these
allegations represent to the
reputation of this agency and
the men and women who
proudly serve their country
by advancing ICEs mission,
Barr wrote. As such, I feel
it is incumbent upon me to
take every step necessary to
prevent further harm to the
agency and to prevent this
from further distracting from
our critical work.
Barr went on leave last
month after the New York
Post reported on the lawsuit
filed by James T. Hayes Jr.,
ICEs special agent in charge
in New York. Additional
employees came forward with
their allegations around the
same time.
House Homeland Security
Committee Chairman Peter
King, R-N.Y., said in a state-
ment Saturday that Barrs res-
ignation raises the most seri-
ous questions about manage-
ment practices and personnel
policies at the Department of
Homeland Security. He said
his committee will continue to
review the case and personnel
practices at DHS.
In one complaint, Barr
is accused of telling a male
subordinate he was sexy
and asking a personal ques-
tion about his anatomy during
an office party. In a separate
complaint, she is accused of
offering to perform a sex act
with a male subordinate dur-
ing a business trip in Bogota,
Colombia. Shes also accused
of calling a male subordinate
from her hotel room and offer-
ing to perform a sex act. The
names of two of Barrs accus-
ers were censored in affidavits
reviewed by AP.
Homeland Securitys
office of professional respon-
sibility and inspector general
have been investigating the
allegations.
Prior to the lawsuit, there
were no complaints about
Barr, according to a homeland
security official who spoke to
the AP on condition of ano-
nymity because he was not
authorized to speak publicly
about the matter.
ICE chief of staff resigns amid misconduct claims
WASHINGTON (AP)
Beer lovers, the secret is out.
The White House has made
public the recipe for two home-
made beers that have become
an object of fascination for
beer drinkers everywhere.
White House Honey
Brown Ale, believed to be the
first beer brewed on the White
House grounds, includes light
malt extract, amber crystal
malt, honey, gypsum, yeast
and corn sugar.
The recipe was released this
past weekend while President
Barack Obama was campaign-
ing in Iowa.
Obama has been talking
about the White House brew
for weeks, but he and other
officials had refused to dis-
close details of how its made,
despite an online petition
and repeated questions from
reporters. Obama even took
a question on the beer recipe
during a chat with the website
Reddit.
Obama and his team fre-
quently talk about the presi-
dents fondness for beer and
Obama has been photographed
many times downing a beer,
including an appearance at the
Iowa State Fair last month.
Being identified as a beer
drinker is an easy way for
Obama to connect with voters
and serves as a not-so-subtle
reminder that his Republican
rival Mitt Romney, a Mormon,
doesnt drink.
Obama even held a beer
summit after a white police
sergeant arrested black
Harvard professor Henry
Louis Gates as he tried to get
into his own home.
White House press secre-
tary Jay Carney announced the
beer recipe on Twitter, linking
to a blog post entitled Ale
to the Chief that included a
video on the brewing process.
The White House was careful
to say the president paid for
the materials used in the beer-
making himself.
With public excitement
about White House beer
fermenting such a buzz, we
decided we better hop right
to it and release the recipe,
wrote White House assistant
chef Sam Kass, who brews
the beer in the White House
kitchen.
The White House included
recipes for both the honey ale
and a honey porter, both of
which are brewed at the White
House.
In the video, Kass is seen
drinking the honey ale.
That is one incredible
beer if I do say so myself,
Kass says, smiling. America,
I wish everybody could taste
this but we dont quite brew
enough.

sels (vertebral arteries) pass through
the openings in your neck bones. These
vessels supply 30% of your brains blood
supply. Any twisting or misalignment of
your neck bones will kink those arteries
and slow the blood flow to your brain,
(the start of a migraine). Dr. Reed, D.C.
can gently re-align your spine without
popping or twisting your neck.

The St. Johns offensive line controlled the line of
scrimmage Saturday afternoon, such as this double-team
of the Port Clinton defensive tackle by senior Seth Bockey
and junior Spencer Ginter the O,
By JIM METCALFE

DELPHOS St. Johns
needed a big response after
a bitter season-opening loss
to Lima Central Catholic last
Saturday.
The Blue Jays got it in
spades as they crushed Port
Clinton 51-0 on a warm and
very humid Saturday afternoon
at Stadium Park.
The Blue Jays (1-1) used
their devastating running game
to amass 432 yards on the
ground, led by a career-high
282 by junior tailback Tyler
Jettinghoff on 22 totes.
That included four touch-
down runs of 44 yards, 3, 47
and 31.
Our offensive line did a
great job today. It took us a
while to really get going; they
did a couple of different things
defensively we struggled to
get to their linebackers and
we had to adjust, St. Johns
coach Todd Schulte noted.
Once we hit the chalkboard at
halftime, we made our changes
and it worked really well. We
got to those linebackers and
basically controlled the game.
Tyler ran very well. We also
wore them down; you could
see it as the game wore on.
The Blue and Gold defense
also manhandled the Redskin
(1-1) running game, holding it
to 48 yards on 30 tries. Senior
quarterback Addison Rospert
completed 15-of-25 passes
for 130 yards and two picks,
seven to senior teammate Chris
Stokes (77 yards).
It was the Blue Jay passing
game that broke the ice. On
the third series of the contest,
the Jays (1-1) used a quick
3-play, 60-yard drive, includ-
ing a 31-yard run by junior
fullback Luke MacLennan. At
the Redskin 21, senior quar-
terback Mark Boggs (3-of-10
passing, 2 picks), in the shot-
gun, dropped and threw for the
right sideline to senior tight
end Jake Hays, who snuck
behind the defense for the six.
Senior Andrew Metzger added
the point-after touchdown for
a 7-0 lead at the 7:50 mark of
the opener.
On its next series, the hosts
drove from the 30 to the Port
Clinton 12 in nine plays
including an unsportsmanlike
conduct call on the PC side-
line and a 24-yard aerial from
Boggs to Hays. On play 10,
Metzger delivered a 29-yard
field goal for a 10-0 spread
with 1:50 showing.
The Redskins reached St.
Johns space on its next drive
but had to punt once more.
The Jays got the final tally
of the half via a 4-play, 70-yard
sequence. At the visitor 44,
Jettinghoff took a toss off left
tackle, cut inside, then back out
and was gone. Off the spread
extra-point formation, Boggs,
the holder, tried for a 2-point
pass but it was no good for a
16-0 edge with 6:57 showing.
The Redskins again
reached St. Johns space but
on the fourth play, senior Will
Buettner recovered a fumble
at the 43.
Port Clintons next series
was its best of the game: start-
ing at the 14 and gaining the
host 27 in eight plays. However,
on play nine, Rospert was pres-
sured into a pass into cover-
age and senior Troy Warnecke
came up with the pick at the
14.
However, that was short-
lived as Brock Moore picked
off a tipped pass from Boggs
and returned it 27 yards to
the host 7. On 4th-and-goal
from the 5, Rospert was sacked
and fumbled, with senior Kody
White recovering and lateral-
ing it to Buettner, ending up
with a 65-yard TD. However,
a facemask penalty (accepted)
and an illegal forward pass
(declined) on the Jays gave the
visitors an untimed down at the
9. Rospert was wide right on
a 27-yard field goal try as the
half ended.
On the very first play from
scrimmage the second half at
the PC 23, with rain starting
to fall, Rospert underthrew his
receiver and Metzger picked it
off at the visitor 44. Jettinghoff
ran for 40, a yard and then
took a toss off left tackle from
the 3, cut outside and quickly
back inside to paydirt. A bad
snap on the conversion result-
ed in Boggs throwing for the
2-pointer; a juggling catch by
junior Cody Looser; for a 24-0
edge at 10:42 of the third.
The Jays next drive ended
on a pick by Rospert, setting
up the guests at the Blue Jay
44. However, the Blue and
Gold defense held on downs
at the 39.
From there, the Jays scored
in three plays. At the PC 47,
Jettinghoff ran an isolation play
up the gut and found a large
hole. He found the seam out-
side to the sideline and reached
the pylon for the six. Metzger
made it 31-0 with 5:12 show-
ing in the third.
A 50-yard Rospert kick-
off return put the visitors in
business at the host 49. After
attaining the 21 in four plays,
a 4th-and-inches play resulted
in a fumble recovery by White
at the 23.
It took seven plays all
on the ground to add to the
lead. At the PC 31, Jettinghoff
took another toss off left tack-
le, found the seam to the out-
side and got finishing blocks
by Boggs and senior receiver
Justin Thornton to find the end
zone. Metzger made it 38-0
with 11:52 to go.
With the second-teamers in,
the Jays went 70 yards in seven
plays. At the Redskin 9, sopho-
more Nick Martz (4 totes, 71
yards) ran an option to the
right and faked the fullback;
the entire defense was fooled
as he easily sped to the pylon.
Ben Wrasmans kick made it
45-0 with 5:59 showing.
On the ensuing kickoff,
freshman James Buettner
recovered a fumble, putting
the Jays at the Redskin 12. On
play three at the 1, sophomore
fullback Austin Heiing scored
standing up on a run up the
middle with 4:18 left. The PAT
was wide right for the final
margin.
Our defense played anoth-
er solid game this week. I felt
we played a great game last
week, Schulte added. Any
time you can throw a shut-
out, especially when a turnover
gives them a chance inside
your 10, youre pleased. We
were worried about their size
up front but we neutralized
that. We just have to shore up
the turnovers and not put our
defense in those situations.

DELPHOS The St.
Johns girls soccer team was
looking for its inaugural vic-
tory of 2012 on a warm and
muggy Saturday morning at
the Annex when Lima Senior
came to town.
Got it done.
Behind a hat trick from
junior forward Madison
Kreeger and the
work of sophomore
netminder Samantha
Wehri, the Jays (1-4-
0) registered a 5-0
triumph.
This was really
needed for the girls.
They have worked
so hard but hadnt
seen the results; it was frus-
trating for them and us as
coaches because we know the
effort they are putting in,
St. Johns coach John Munoz
began. We keep getting bet-
ter; we have come a long way
in the first two weeks of the
season, especially offensive-
ly. We made good runs, good
passes, good crosses today.
Things are connecting much
better.
Over half of the Blue Jays
roster did not play soccer at
any level last fall. Fourth-year
Lady Spartan coach Bonnie
Wicker can commiserate.
I have one senior who
did not play today out of
a roster of 24. I have four
other girls who played last
year, she explained. The
rest are all new to the sport.
In essence, we are a junior
varsity team. We are basically
starting from scratch.
The Lady Spartans (0-4-0)
actually had the first good
look of the morning, get-
ting a 10-yarder from Rion
Thompson at 37:08. However,
Wehri made a diving deflec-
tion, one of six for the match
(versus 6 shots on-goal).
The Jays controlled the
offense most of the rest of
the way.
At 30:10, Kreeger got con-
trol on the right side and put a
14-yarder inside that post past
Spartan sophomore keeper
Jayla Washington (10 saves
versus 18 shots on-goal) for
a 1-0 edge.
The Jays kept attacking
but either Washington came
up with the stops or their
shooting eye was off.
It took exactly 25 min-
utes to add to the lead: 5:10.
Off a free kick inside their
territory and a midfield lead
header from junior Jessica
Koverman, Kreeger was off to
the races. Her high 18-yarder
from the right outside corner
of box went off the fingertips
of Washington and into the
net for a 2-nil score.
That was the halftime
bulge.
It did not take long into
the second half for Kreeger to
compete her hat trick 1:30.
A lead midfield pass from
junior Samantha
Bonifas connected
with Kreeger and she
did the rest, firing
a 12-yarder outside
the right post and
into the net for a 3-0
edge.
A nice play in
front of the net gave
the hosts a 4-0 lead at 30:05.
Deep into the offensive space,
sophomore Emilee Grothouse
passed right to left to junior
Lindsay Warnecke on the left
post; she put the 7-yarder into
the cords.
Senior had a couple of for-
ays into its offensive end but
Wehri stayed true between
the pipes, getting a deflection
of Essence Cowans 12-yard-
er from the left wing at 19:01;
deflecting Thompsons
16-yarder at 16:50; and stop-
ping Kristen Boedickers
16-yarder at 12:00.
Our defense has been
solid most of the season.
Samantha has stepped up in
goal and done an outstanding
job, Munoz continued. The
weather today was tough with
the humidity but the girls are
in outstanding shape. Plus, I
have a deep bench and am not
afraid to use it.
The Jays tacked on the final
tally on a very nice sequence
at 10:45. On the right side,
Bonifas passed it to the mid-
dle to junior Madison Burgei,
who touched it back to fresh-
man Samantha Stevenson;
with the keeper slow to react,
Stevenson tapped it in from
the doorstep of the post.
However, Blue Jay sopho-
more Olivia Miller suffered
an injury with 7:14 left and
had to be transported to the
hospital.
I left it up to the captains
to make sure everyone could
get refocused and get their
heads back into the game
after Olivia got hurt. They
talked to the girls about fin-
ishing strong, Munoz added.

COLUMBUS GROVE
There were no major
surprises at the 33rd annu-
al Columbus Grove Cross
Country Invitational Saturday
morning.
The Columbus Grove
boys and Minster girls won
the small-school team cham-
pionships as about every-
one expected. The only
minor surprises were in the
girls Gray team standings
as Spencerville and Kalida
followed the always-strong
Minster girls.
Minster won the girls Gray
Division team title with just
30 points as they placed their
top five runners in the top 10.
Spencerville finished second
with 119 points and Kalida
was right behind them in
third place with 131 points.
In the boys Gray Division,
Columbus Grove continued
their early-season success
by winning the team title
with 44 points. Minster fin-
ished second with 55 points
while Lincolnview was third
with 121 points and Botkins
was fourth with 164 points.
Crestview was fifth with 171
points.
While Minster dominated
the girls Gray Division led by
freshman Julia Slonkosky, the
Lady Bearcats and Wildcats
put together good showings
to bring home hardware
Saturday.
Despite running without a
couple of runners Saturday,
the Lady Bearcats captured
the runner-up trophy as they
were led by junior Karri Purdy
with a fourth-place finish in
20:16. Junior Tori Hardesty
finished 14th in 21:19, while
sophomore Kacie Mulholland
was 16th in 21:23. Senior
Jennifer Burnett was 52nd in
23:34 and junior Tesa Horton
was 64th in 24:17.
To finish second was a lit-
tle bit of a surprise, Bearcat
coach Brian McMichael said.
We had a couple of girls that
were not here today but the
rest of them stepped up and
ran well. Karri Purdy was
fourth overall and ran a great
race, much better than she
has before. They did a real
nice job; I was very pleased
with their times.
The Lady Wildcats were
making their first appearance
at the Grove Invitational and
turned in a solid effort to fin-
ish third.
Kalida was led by senior
Jessica Doepker as she fin-
ished second in 20:14.
Sophomore Jackie Gardner
was ninth in 21:04 and fresh-
man Katelyn Siebeneck was
22nd in 21:36. Senior Katie
Schmitz finished 55th was in
23:38 and sophomore Becca
Brinkman was 76th in 25:05.
They did a great job
today, Kalida coach Scott
Miller said. They ran well
against some tough competi-
tion. This is our first time
running at Columbus Grove
and thats kind of what we
wanted was some good com-
petition and they responded
well. Any time you are run-
ning against the Minsters
and Spencervilles you have
to be at your best since they
are among the best teams in
the state year in and year out.
Jessica we know what
she can do being a 2-time
all-Ohioan she has picked
up where she left off. Then
Jackie ran well to finish ninth
and Katelyn is running well
as she finished 20th today.
They are doing a nice job this
early in the season.
The Crestview girls were
led by Courtney Perrott as
she finished 31st in 21:56 and
Elizabeth Saylor was 42nd
in 22:30. Chelsea Hancock
finished 50th in 23:20.
Our girls ran well. I
thought they ran better than
we did last week, Lady
Knight coach Mark Bagley
said. We took some steps
forward. Obviously, we still
want to get better. We had
some girls progress and get
better. That was neat to see.
Lincolnview was led by
Anna Gorman as she finished
60th in 23:52 and Taylor
Miller was 63rd in 24:15.
On the boys side,
Columbus Grove senior Jake
Graham completed his climb
to the top of individual stand-
ings by winning the boys
Gray race.
Graham was fourth as a
freshman, third as a sopho-
more and second his junior
year. He completed his step-
ladder climb to the top by
winning his final Grove
Invitational race in 16:11.
Graham had the lead by the
end of the first mile and kept
up a steady pace to win the
event. Minsters Dominic
Slonkoksy was second in
16:23.
That is a pretty neat story
for Jake and his climb to the
top, Grove boys coach Terry
Schnipke said of Grahams
achievement. His goal is
always to win the race. He
had his time set at 16:10 for
today and he ran 16:11, so
he was pretty close to that
goal. We did some things in
practice this week to use our
course to an advantage and
Jake said that helped him
today, so that was good.
Alex Shafer backed up
Graham with a fourth-place
finish in 16:36, while Colton
Grothaus was sixth in 16:47
and Grant Schroeder was 11th
in 17:10. Nick Schmiesing
finished 23rd in 17:44.
It was an exciting day,
Schnipke said of the teams
finish. We knew Minster
would be tough and with their
times coming in I thought
they could get us, we just per-
formed well. The guys all had
a goal (time) in mind coming
in and I think at least four, if
not five, of my top guys all
had a personal record today.
Then my seventh guy had a
great day today as well. It
was a great day for Columbus
Grove cross country.
The Lancers finished third
in a strong field as they had
two runners finish in the top
20 and three in the top 25.
Bayley Tow led the
Lancer boys with an eighth-
place finish in 16:55, while
Jeff Jacomet was 18th in
17:46 and Ben Bilimek 24th
in 17:46. Alex Rodriguez
was 28th in 18:05 and Skyler
Whitaker was 48th in 18:48.
I thought they ran well,
Lincolnview coach Matt
Langdon said. Columbus
Grove and Minster are in a
different league right now but
the boys handled the condi-
tions (humid and wet course)
well. Bayley Tow ran his
career best getting into the
16s for the first time and Jeff
Jacomet ran his best time.
We still have some work to
do. The freshmen are still
learning to race at the high
school level and run when the
conditions arent perfect.
Crestviews Joel Genter
had the top local finish as he
finished third in 16:34. The
Knights Mycah Grandstaff
was 13th in 17:13, Shelby
Ripley was 25th in 17:59,
Branden Clayton was 62nd in
19:24 and Andy Burnett was
77th in 19:42.

The Delphos Herald
(8/31/12) - Limaland
Motorsports Park concluded
its 15th season under the own-
ership and operation of the
University of Northwestern
Ohio by crowning a pair of
first-time champions in Sprints
and Thunderstocks and a first
4-time titlist in the Modifieds
division Friday night.
The track also saw a for-
mer World of Outlaws full-
time campaigner take top hon-
ors with the Engine Pro NRA
Sprint Invaders.
Heavy overcast conditions
allowed track officials to pro-
vide a near-perfect moist rac-
ing surface with considerable
grip for car handling.
The 20-lap K&N Modified
feature had the two primary
points contenders, Todd
Sherman and Terry Hull, start-
ing in row two. The Indiana-
based drivers gave ground to
another Hoosier state competi-
tor, Tyler Stump, to lead the
events first lap before getting
turned the wrong way in turn
four on lap number two.
Sherman, the defending
champion and points leader,
took over at the front of the
field. The next six laps pro-
duced a thrilling battle with
Hull looking to run down
Sherman. After a caution peri-
od and race restart on lap nine,
Sherman and Hull resumed
their epic duel. At one point
in the showdown, there was a
full door-to-door collision in
turn one that both drivers were
able to survive and continue
on racing.
Finally on lap 18, Hull
became slightly sideways
while racing in turn four. He
slipped off the pace allowing
Sherman to solidify his con-
trol of the lead with two laps
remaining. A final restart was
enough for Sherman to hold off
veteran Jerry Bowersock and
Jake Reufer in posting his sixth
feature win of the season and
capture the tracks Modified
division championship.
He (Terry Hull) was on it
and all over me. It was a good
race, said a relieved Sherman.
Catching the lapped traffic I
thought could be hairy for me
but luckily the caution came
out. God has been good to us.
This is huge.
It marked Shermans third
consecutive title and fourth in
his career, including 2004.
The Engine Pro NRA Sprints
25-lap feature would decide the
tracks division champion and
the touring series title. Action
at the start was fast and furious
as those drivers that had yet to
win a feature during the season
were looking for that first one,
which would put them in the
coveted King of the Quarter
Mile extra race later in the
evening.
J.R. Stewart bolted to the
front at the start from his pole
position. Stewart cruised at the
top of the 1/4-mile oval while
Jared Horstman and Kyle
Sauder were locked in battle
for the second position. Track
points leader Hud Horton
began the event on the inside
of row four while NRA leader
Randy Hannagan was on the
inside of row number seven.
On lap 10, Sauder and
Horstman made enough con-
tact on the front straight to
cause a flat tire for Sauder,
effectively ending his hopes
for either a track or NRA title.
On lap 13, Horstman took the
lead from Stewart as the two
battled side-by-side around the
track in swapping the front
position again. At this point in
the race, Hannagan had caught
the leaders. A pair of cau-
tion periods allowed Horstman
to maintain the lead and for
a couple of laps it appeared
he might pull away to post
his first-ever Limaland feature
win.
The restart on lap 21 began
an amazing series of corner
slide jobs between Horstman
and Hannagan. When the action
settled, Hannagan had secured
the lead and went on to take
the checkered flag for the sixth
time this season and clinch the
NRA crown. Horton posted his
ninth top-5 finish of 2012 and
won his first-ever Elwer Fence
Sprints track championship.
None of these (wins) are
easy but it was a lot of fun,
said Hannagan, a native of San
Jose, CA. Eventually, I got up
to third and fourth. They start-
ed racing and I really wanted
to be a part of this. I wanted to
change a bunch of stuff before
the main and my crew just said
to drive the damn thing. So
I did, we got the win and the
NRA championship, and thats
what its all about.
Horton of Germantown,
Ohio, took the track title
despite winning just a single
feature race on the season.
It feels great to get this as
I way trying so hard to do this
type of thing, said a humble
Horton. The big thing for me
was getting some advice on the
car from Marshall Campbell
with setups. It really helped
me. Running against this field
of cars has made me a better
driver.
The Budwei ser
Thunderstocks 15-lap feature
had the tracks all-time lead-
ing stocks winner Jeff Babcock
making his first start of the
season. For the first 14 circuits,
it seemed as if Babcock was
about to crack the stranglehold
Shawn Valenti and Limas
Jeff Koz had held on the divi-
sion. The two drivers had won
every feature contested in
2012 except last week when
Tony Anderson benefitted with
Valenti and Koz taking each
other out of contention near the
end of the race.
On this night, both Valenti
and Koz had climbed into
position right behind Babcock.
Koz, in particular, was work-
ing the bottom of the track
effectively and was able to
manufacture a pass for the lead
as the white flag came out. He
held on through lapped traffic
to post his sixth win of the sea-
son, while Valenti, finishing
third, captured his first points
championship.
To win (seven) races and
compete for the championship
and win it is a dream come
true, said Valenti afterwards.
Its been a heckuva year. I
thank Jeff Babcock (car owner)
for putting me in this car and
Jason Jemison for all of his
help this season.
The night of racing also saw
the 14th edition of the King of
Quarter Mile 10-lap contests.
They matched all feature win-
ners throughout the season for
a total of $6,000 in additional
prize money.
Bowersock of Wapakoneta,
Ohio, won a rousing battle with
Sherman to take the $2,000
Modified King race.
Sauder earlier had lost a
chance for both the track and
NRA title but he salvaged the
night running away from the
field to win the $3,000 Sprints
King crown.
Koz added to his feature win
from earlier in the evening to
take the $1,000 Thunderstocks
King race.
The 2012 racing season
wraps up in its entirety with
the Limaland Motorsports Park
Awards Banquet on Oct. 20 at
the UNOH Event Center.

PASADENA, Calif.
Thirty-five years after leav-
ing Earth, Voyager 1 is
reaching for the stars.
Sooner or later, the work-
horse spacecraft will bid
adieu to the solar system and
enter a new realm of space
the first time a man-made
object will have escaped to
the other side.
Perhaps no one on Earth
will relish the moment more
than 76-year-old Ed Stone,
who has toiled on the project
from the start.
Were anxious to get
outside and find whats out
there, he said.
When NASAs Voyager 1
and Voyager 2 first rocketed
out of Earths grip in 1977,
no one knew how long they
would live. Now, they are
the longest-operating space-
craft in history and the most
distant, at billions of miles
from Earth but in different
directions.
Wednesday marks the 35th
anniversary of Voyager 1s
launch to Jupiter and Saturn.
It is now flitting around the
fringes of the solar system,
which is enveloped in a giant
plasma bubble. This hot and
turbulent area is created by a
stream of charged particles
from the sun.
Outside the bubble is a
new frontier in the Milky
Way the space between
stars. Once it plows through,
scientists expect a calmer
environment by comparison.
When that would happen
is anyones guess. Voyager 1
is in uncharted celestial terri-
tory. One thing is clear: The
boundary that separates the
solar system and interstellar
space is near, but it could
take days, months or years to
cross that milestone.
Voyager 1 is currently
more than 11 billion miles
from the sun. Twin Voyager
2, which celebrated its launch
anniversary two weeks ago,
trails behind at 9 billion
miles from the sun.
Theyre still ticking
despite being relics of the
early Space Age.
Each only has 68 kilobytes
of computer memory. To put
that in perspective, the small-
est iPod an 8-gigabyte
iPod Nano is 100,000
times more powerful. Each
also has an eight-track tape
recorder. Todays spacecraft
use digital memory.
The Voyagers original
goal was to tour Jupiter and
Saturn, and they sent back
postcards of Jupiters big
red spot and Saturns glit-
tery rings. They also beamed
home a torrent of discover-
ies: erupting volcanoes on
the Jupiter moon Io; hints
of an ocean below the icy
surface of Europa, another
Jupiter moon; signs of meth-
ane rain on the Saturn moon
Titan.
Voyager 2 then journeyed
to Uranus and Neptune. It
remains the only spacecraft
to fly by these two outer plan-
ets. Voyager 1 used Saturn
as a gravitational slingshot
to catapult itself toward the
edge of the solar system.
Time after time, Voyager
revealed unexpected kind
of counterintuitive results,
which means we have a lot to
learn, said Stone, Voyagers
chief scientist and a professor
of physics at the California
Institute of Technology.
These days, a handful of
engineers diligently listen
for the Voyagers from a sat-
ellite campus not far from
the NASA Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, which built the
spacecraft.
The control room, with its
cubicles and carpeting, could
be mistaken for an insurance
office if not for a blue sign
overhead that reads Mission
Controller and a warning on
a computer: Voyager mis-
sion critical hardware. Please
do not touch!
There are no full-time sci-
entists left on the mission,
but 20 part-timers analyze
the data streamed back. Since
the spacecraft are so far out,
it takes 17 hours for a radio
signal from Voyager 1 to
travel to Earth. For Voyager
2, it takes about 13 hours.
Cameras aboard the
Voyagers were turned off
long ago. The nuclear-pow-
ered spacecraft, about the
size of a subcompact car,
still have five instruments to
study magnetic fields, cos-
mic rays and charged par-
ticles from the sun known as
solar wind. They also carry
gold-plated discs contain-
ing multilingual greetings,
music and pictures in the
off chance that intelligent
species come across them.
Since 2004, Voyager 1
has been exploring a region
in the bubble at the solar sys-
tems edge where the solar
wind dramatically slows and
heats up. Over the last sev-
eral months, scientists have
seen changes that suggest
Voyager 1 is on the verge of
crossing over.
When it does, it will be
the first spacecraft to explore
between the stars. Space
observatories such as the
Hubble and Spitzer space
telescopes have long peered
past the solar system, but
they tend to focus on far-
away galaxies.
As ambitious as the
Voyager mission is, it was
scaled down from a plan to
send a quartet of spacecraft
to Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune
and Pluto in what was billed
as the grand tour of the
solar system. But the plan
was nixed, and scientists
settled for the Voyager mis-
sion.
American University
space policy expert Howard
McCurdy said it turned out
to be a boon.
They took the funds
and built spacecraft robust
enough to visit all four gas
giants and keep communi-
cating beyond the solar sys-
tem, McCurdy said.
The double missions so
far have cost $983 million
in 1977 dollars, which trans-
lates to $3.7 billion now. The
spacecraft have enough fuel
to last until around 2020.
By that time, scientists
hope Voyager will already be
floating between the stars.
35 years later, Voyager 1
is heading for the stars

LOS ANGELES
Michael Jacksons estate will
begin making its case to a
jury that a businessman work-
ing with the singers mother
should be forced to pay mil-
lions of dollars for infringing
on several copyrights.
The amount is the sole
issue at stake in a trial set
to begin on Tuesday against
Howard Mann, who has col-
laborated with Katherine
Jackson on several projects,
including a book.
A judge has already ruled
that Mann violated Jackson
estate copyrights and ordered
his website shut down. His
attorneys argue the estate
doesnt actually own the
proper rights and the ruling
should be tossed out, but a
judge has refused to recon-
sider his ruling.
The infringed works
include cover art from
Jacksons posthumous film
This Is It, and a silhouette
of the singer dancing to his
hit Smooth Criminal.
The estates case is expect-
ed to hinge on one expert wit-
ness who has estimated the
cost of a license for the works
is between $5 million and $12
million.
Manns attorneys rejected
a settlement offer last week of
$2 million. Jacksons estate,
who sued over the works in
January 2011, is also asking
that Mann be forced to pay its
attorneys fees.
Manns lawyers have
sought to introduce evidence
that they were given bad
legal advice about having to
license the works, and have
considered calling Katherine
Jackson as a witness. The
Jackson family matriarch is
one of the beneficiaries of the
singers estate, along with his
three children.
U.S. District Judge Dean
D. Pregerson has noted that
Mann doesnt appear to have
the resources to pay a large
judgment.
Jury to decide value of
some Jackson copyrights
Get Your Children Interested
In Newspapers
How do you help parents get a child interested in look-
ing at a newspaper? Keep in mind that its a kids job to
have fun.
Here are a few ideas to share with the readers of our
paper.
n Select a news story or a comic strip and cut the panels or
paragraphs apart. Help your child arrange the panels or
paragraphs in logical order.
n Read a brief editorial or column together. Have the child
underline facts with a blue pen and opinions with a red pen.
n Have your child choose a headline and turn it into a
question. Have the child read the article to see if it answers
the question.

Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
In-laws drink
in front of kids
Dear Annie: My husband
and I are trying to raise our
three children in a traditional,
conservative environment,
but my in-laws undermine
our values.
We recently went on a
cruise with them, along with
my husbands brother and
niece and her live-in boy-
friend. At one point, my old-
est daughter didnt feel well,
so I took her back to the
cabin for a couple of hours.
When we found
the rest of the
family, they were
having a drinkfest
right in front of our
14-year-old daugh-
ter and 12-year-
old son. Not only
that, but they were
buying alcohol for
the niece and her
boyfriend, both of
whom are under
21.
From the looks
of the empties on
the table, this had been going
on for the entire two hours.
Most of them were drunk.
Mind you, my husband was
taking part, as well, which
infuriated me. But I was even
angrier with my mother-
in-law, because I feel that
women should be protectors
of their children and grand-
children, instead of enablers.
My mother-in-law even
made a point to tell our
daughters that the niece had
been living with her boy-
friend for more than a year,
which seemed to put her
stamp of approval on the
arrangement. My kids didnt
know this, nor did they need
to. They dont live near their
cousin. My mother-in-law is
well aware of the values we
teach, but if I say anything,
she says Im judging her and
being disrespectful.
We spent very little time
with the family for the rest of
the trip because they wanted
to party and we wanted a
more wholesome environ-
ment. How do we handle
this type of situation when
it comes up again? -- Kids
First
Dear Kids: Please under-
stand that you cannot control
what other people do, only
how you respond. You also
cannot control every environ-
ment, so use these situations
as learning experiences. Talk
to your kids calmly about
whats going on and how
you feel about it. Dont vilify
your in-laws, but be prepared
for their continued inappro-
priate behavior. Your kids
undoubtedly will encounter
other such situations when
you are not around, and the
hope is that they will remem-
ber the good judgment and
values you have taught them.
And please stop blaming your
mother-in-law. Your husband
should have been the protec-
tor of his own children.
Dear Annie: My wifes
uncle had a laryngectomy
a few years ago. He now
breathes through the stoma
in his throat and also dis-
charges phlegm through it.
He doesnt cover the opening
with mesh.
I hate to sound uncaring,
but he constantly coughs into
a tissue that he then lays
on our countertops, dining
room table or wherever else.
This is not only unsanitary,
but gross. When he leaves,
we have to use antibacterial
wipes on everything
he touched.
If we were to
say anything to
him about this, he
would be upset and
probably not speak
to us again. We
are running out of
excuses to avoid his
visits and hope he
reads your column
and makes the con-
nection. -- Germ
Concerned
Dear Germ:
Someone who uses a tissue
to expel anything should not
leave it around, especially
on a surface where food is
served or where others have
to dispose of it. This is simple
courtesy. The next time your
uncle visits, discreetly place
a small wastebasket near him
for his convenience.
Dear Annie: This is in
response to Disappointed in
Ohio, whose girls group
was resentful when one of the
women began to bring along
her new husband.
I once belonged to such
a group of retired women,
which we named the Silver
Belles. The time came when
the husbands also retired, and
sometimes, one of us would
ask to bring our husband
along. Instead of resenting
it, we welcomed them and
began to call our group the

Because youll know how
to successfully
respond to outside
challenges, changes
could benefit you
big time in the year
ahead. Go with the
flow, and youll end
up someplace great.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Should you find yourself facing a
situation similar to one you handled
successfully once before, dont try to
do anything different. What worked
well in the past will work well again.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Financial trends appear to be
exceptionally encouraging for you at
this point in time. Now is the day to
look for ways to make extra funds and
get rid of old debts.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
Partnership arrangements tend to have
better chances for success at this time
than do solo efforts. However, should
you form an alliance, you will need to
play a strong supportive role.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Strong, beneficial interests
will be favoring you at this point in
time. Dedicate all your efforts toward
generating as much income as you
possibly can.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- When and where there is a need to
assert authority, do so without any
hesitation. Youll instinctively know
how to do so in ways that wont cause
others to take offense.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Youll have a special knack for ably
managing matters that have stumped
all previous comers. You might have
to utilize this gift in two cases.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Your judgment is excellent at this
juncture, and all involved should
benefit. A critical decision is likely to
be required that will affect others as
well as yourself.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- Both buying and selling will be
wise things for you to do. This is
because youll be equally as shrewd a
purchaser as you are a producer. Do
what suits your needs.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Youll be equally as adept at figuring
out what will sell as you are getting
the help you need to produce it. You
may find both assets among people
you already know.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
Do your best to perform at a top level
instead of doing just enough to be
acceptable. Accomplishing something
significant will be noted and rewarded
by the powers that be.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Chances are there is plenty of
justification for your expectations to
be running high at this time. You are
now in a cycle where some remarkable
things can be accomplished.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- There
is a strong possibility that you will be
a bit luckier than usual where your
career and/or earnings are concerned.
Take measures to produce something
ambitious and wide-ranging.
