Some parents of Charles Evans Elementary students are frustrated with the new principal, Dr. Vicki Sellers. Parents met Tuesday at the Church of the Nazarene, a day after Superintendent Sonny Bates had a “Meet the Superintendent” event at the school. Parents said they are concerned that their children are not able to talk during lunchtime, which maybe the only time students see friends from other classes and allows for the development of social skills. It was also said that students who broke this rule would have to stand against the fence during recess. “My child is walking around on eggshells,” said parent Nicole Mitchell. Handouts passed out at the parents’ meeting had notes on things discussed with the superintendent. According to the handout, “Bates and Assistant Superintendent Storm asked those in attendance to give them time to fix the problems. They agreed that while See principal, Page 3A

Why did you decide to become an educator?
What are challenges in education today?
More about Lacy Mitchell
I have several, but mostly when I can help a student to feel successful. I had a student last year that had low self-esteem and previous behavior problems. I gained her trust early on in the year. Anytime she had a problem, I could help her through. Not once did she go to the office or have any problems. She had increased confidence and a more positive attitude.
I didn’t know I wanted to be an educator until I was midway through college. I enjoy being an educator and love helping children. Each child is unique and it is up to me to find the best way for them to learn. I am also an AVID teacher (Advancement Via Individual Determination). It is a framework for elementary students to prepare for college.
A teacher has many jobs. Each day is a new day. As teachers, we must continue to be flexible in handling challenges and willing to learn. One challenge is time. As educators, we are continually pushing the clock to get every second of learning in. Students have required PASS (Priority Academic Student Skills) objectives they need to learn to pass the OCCT (Oklahoma Core Curriculum Tests) in April.

AURORA, Colo. (AP) — Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper should take a $5.2 million victims’ fund away from a private group so that assistance can more quickly be distributed, family members of many of those killed or wounded in the Aurora mass shooting said Thursday. Several relatives of victims expressed frustration with Community First Foundation at a news conference. They urged the governor to appoint an independent arbitrator to oversee the donations. “Victims are paralyzed, facing multiple and painful surgeries, unable to walk, to work and pay their rent, food and medical bills,” said Tom Teves, whose son, Alex, was one of the 12 people killed. “Some have no medical insurance at all.” Hickenlooper’s spokesman, Eric Brown, said in a written statement they are working on bringing the Mile High United Way, additional foundations and the City of Aurora to the same table to determine the best path forward.
Kardaleff was suspended with pay on July 3 following a city council meeting. During the meeting, the council met in executive session when the preliminary results of an audit were revealed. Following the executive session, the council unanimously agreed to request a state audit into financial improprieties. Clark said the city is still waiting to have its audit scheduled by the state.

DIGEST Argus Hamilton
Keno crowd hears Obama Speech Wednesday
H
OLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how’s everybody? Mitt Romney defended U.S. principles Tuesday including the right to free speech and free expression despite Muslim anger over an anti-Muslim film. The Muslim Brotherhood is very worried in Egypt. They know that if Mitt Romney becomes president he will spare Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Iran, and sell off the Arab countries that are losing money. David Letterman was chosen to Argus receive the Kennedy Center honors Hamilton in Washington in December. Dave was blackmailed over an adulterous affair with an intern last year but he escaped with his career unharmed. The Kennedys are also honoring him for his comedy. The U.S. slipped to seventh in economic productivity on the World Economic Forum’s annual list Monday. There’s not much we can do. China’s government just changed the country’s one-child policy because every family needs a second kid to work the night shift. President Obama’s speech in Las Vegas Wednesday had to be moved from an outdoor 20,000-seat arena into a smaller room. It’s humbling. The same thing just happened to him in Charlotte, only this time the crowd gets to play Keno during the show. Mexican sewage pipes ruptured into the ocean in Tijuana Tuesday. Tons of the raw sewage floated up to San Diego beaches. President Obama had to be forcibly stopped from issuing an executive order granting the sewage a two-year stay in the United States Santa Clarita bank robbers led L.A. police on a car chase in South Central Los Angeles Wednesday. They threw money out of the car, causing people to run out into the street in front of pursuing police cars. The recession’s so bad in California that people are taking jobs as human spike strips. The U.S. Border Patrol reported the lowest-ever number of illegal aliens seized trying to cross into California last month. It’s the economy. It’s so bad that last night Mitt Romney shut off the electricity to his garage elevator and made his cars take the stairs. The FBI deployed new facial recognition technology that will allow agents to identify criminals. It IDs you when security cameras scan crowds at large events. They’d better program it not to recognize drug offenders and tax cheats or the entire system might crash.

Play the right card; read that card By Phillip Alder
Winston Churchill said, “This report, by its very length, defends itself against the risk of being read.” This column, by its very shortness, increases its chance of being read. But “read” also applies to the card played by East at the second trick and West’s ability to interpret it correctly. The auction proceeded along natural lines. Note that, because South denied four hearts when he rebid two spades, North might have rebid three hearts with a strong three-card suit, especially if he was hoping to get into three no-trump when South had a club stopper. Three no-trump is the best game. Four spades, with three top losers in hearts and clubs, requires spades to break 3-3. West leads the club two, showing exactly a fourcard suit. After East wins with his ace, what does he do next? It is clearly correct to return a club, and he leads the eight, the higher of a remaining doubleton. (If
he had returned the three, he would have been showing that he started with two or four clubs.) West takes South’s 10 with his jack, but what does he do now? West must realize that South still has two clubs left, the queen and one other. To get two more club tricks, West must put East on lead for another club play through South. This means that West should shift to a heart. (If East’s entry is the diamond king, he will get in early enough.) Then, East takes the trick with his ace and leads his last club, giving the defenders the first five tricks.

Great Dane from Michigan is world’s tallest dog OTSEGO (AP) — A Great Dane from Michigan is doggone tall. The Guinness World Records 2013 book published Thursday recognizes Zeus of Otsego, Mich., as the world’s Tallest Dog. The 3-year-old measures 44 inches from foot to shoulder. Standing on his hind legs, Zeus stretches to 7foot-4 and towers over his owner, Denise Doorlag. Zeus is just an inch taller than the previous recordholder, Giant George. Zeus weighs 155 pounds and eats a 30-pound bag of food every two weeks. Doorlag says she had to get a van to be able to transport Zeus.

Stowaway cat survives plane ride in suitcase ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — When an Ohio woman packed her bags for a Disney vacation, her cat didn’t want to stay behind. Sometime Monday, Bobbob the cat found his way into Ethel Maze’s suitcase, made it through screening at Port Columbus International Airport and was loaded into an airplane for a flight to Orlando. The Orlando Sentinel reports the black cat popped out when Maze unzipped her bag after checking into her hotel Monday night. Maze, of Circleville, Ohio, says the 14-month-old cat was shaken but still purring. Maze was part of a group of disabled veterans and volunteers making an annual trip to Orlando. Mike Groleau, who handled the bags for the group, says he thought he saw the bag move, but

content. To view the material on his site, visitors must answer questions, such as “What is more important for Zenica, job creation or increasing the municipal budget” through taxes? At the end of each clip there is a separately recorded video of Hadziahmetovic talking directly to camera and saying: “If you liked this clip, vote for me.”

Fed unveils bold, openended steps to aid economy WASHINGTON (AP) — Alarmed by the chronically weak U.S. economy, the Federal Reserve launched an aggressive new effort Thursday to boost the stock market and make borrowing cheaper for years to come. And it made clear it won’t stop there and is ready to try other stimulative measures if hiring doesn’t pick up. Stock prices rocketed up in approval. But economists said the Fed’s plans to buy mortgage bonds for as long as it deems necessary and to keep interest rates at record lows until mid-2015 — six months longer than previously planned — might provide little benefit to the economy. Chairman Ben Bernanke himself cautioned that the Fed’s actions are no panacea for slow growth and high unemployment, and said the economy will probably need help even after the recovery strengthens. “The idea is to quicken the recovery,” Bernanke said at a news conference after the Fed lowered its outlook for growth this year. As part of its bold and open-ended plan, the Fed said it would spend $40 billion a month to buy

mortgage bonds to make home buying more affordable. That will be the third round of bond-buying in an effort to spur the economy, and the Fed left open the possibility of taking other steps to encourage borrowing and financial risk-taking. Stock prices rose steadily after the Fed’s announcement at 12:30 p.m. Eastern time. The Dow Jones industrial average closed
up more than 200 points, coming within 625 points — or 4.6 percent — of its all-time high. Other stock averages also surged. The Fed’s policy committee announced the actions after its monthly twoday meeting. The moves pointed to how sluggish the U.S. and global economies remain more than three years after the Great Recession ended. Thursday’s announce-
ment marked the Fed’s latest dramatic intervention since the financial crisis erupted in 2008 and the recession sent unemployment into double digits. The Fed cut its benchmark short-term rate to near zero and has kept it there for nearly four years. And it’s bought more than $2 trillion in Treasurys and mortgage bonds to try to drive down long-term rates.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits jumped to the highest level in two months, although the figures were skewed in part by Hurricane Isaac. Applications increased by 15,000 to a seasonally adjusted 382,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. That’s up from 367,000 the previous week. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, increased for the fourth straight week to 375,000. Isaac made landfall as Category 1 hurricane on Aug. 28 in southeastern Louisiana and was later downgraded to a tropical storm. It disrupted work in nine states and boosted applications by roughly 9,000, Labor officials said. Applications for unemployment benefits reflect the pace of layoffs. The data on unemployment applications follow last week’s disappointing August employment re-
port. And it comes as the Federal Reserve concludes a two-day meeting. Many analysts expect the Fed will announce new steps to boost the economy when the meeting ends. Jim O’Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, said that after excluding the impact of the hurricane, applications are likely closer to 370,000. Still, the job market has shown little vigor this year. “While today’s reading was likely exaggerated, and we do not believe the labor market is weakening, the trend has been and still is weak enough to trigger more Fed easing today,” O’Sullivan said. Employers added only 96,000 jobs in August, below July’s gain of 141,000 and far below the average 226,000 a month added in the January-March quarter. The unemployment rate dropped to 8.1 percent from 8.3 percent, but only because the number of people

25, the latest data available. That’s about 80,000 fewer than the previous week. Some of the decline may result from more people getting jobs. But many recipients are using up all the benefits available to them. Many economists have noted that while layoffs are falling, overall hiring isn’t picking up at the same pace. A separate monthly report from the Labor Department this week showed that layoffs were at the lowest level in July in the 11 years the government has tracked the data. The economy isn’t growing fast enough to support much more hiring. It grew at a tepid 1.7 percent annual rate in the April-June quarter, down from 2 percent in the JanuaryMarch quarter and 4.1 percent in the final three months of last year.

NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market staged a huge rally Thursday after investors got the aggressive economic help they wanted from the Federal Reserve. The Dow Jones industrial average spiked more than 200 points and cleared 13,500 for the first time since the beginning of the Great Recession. The average is within 625 points of its all-time high. The Fed said it would buy $40 billion of mortgage securities a month until the economy improves. It left open the possibilities of buying other assets and of buying long after the recovery picks up. The central bank also extended its pledge of super-low short-term interest rates into 2015, and extended a program to drive down long-term rates. It was the package known as QE3 — a third round of quantitative easing, in market-speak. And it was just what investors were hoping for. “They’re saying that the punch bowl, the fuel for the economy, isn’t going away — it’s going to be here as long as you need it,” said Tony Fratto, a former aide to President George W. Bush and managing partner at Hamilton Place Strategies, a policy consulting firm in Washington. The Dow closed up 206.51 points, the seventh-biggest gain this year, at 13,539.86, its highest close since the last days of December 2007, the first month of the recession. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index was up 23.43 points at 1,459.99, also its highest since December 2007. The Nasdaq composite index, which has been trading at its highest levels since 2000, was up 41.52 at 3,155.83.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Bank of America has agreed to settle allegations by the government that the financial institution discriminated against mortgage loan applicants with disabilities by asking them to provide medical information from a doctor. The Justice Department said that in asking for the information, the bank violated the Fair Housing Act and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act on the basis of disability. In an effort to identify victims, Bank of America will hire an administrator to search 25,000 loan applications involving income from Social Security Disability Insurance. The bank says it will pay $1,000, $2,500 or $5,000 to eligible mortgage loan applicants who were asked to provide a letter from their doctor to document the income they received from SSDI.

Dear Abby
Master Plumber
Grandma is slow to cheer Utility and style in one sink a wedding that’s overdue By Ed Del Grande
Scripps Howard News Service
By Abigail Van Buren
DEAR ABBY: My daughter is annoyed with me because I’m not jumping up and down with joy over my grandson’s forthcoming wedding. Yes, I am happy they’re getting married, but how excited can I get? The two have been sexually involved since they met in high school four years ago. She was 16; he was 17. For the past two years, he and his girlfriend have shared an apartment and lived as man and wife. The bride-to-be’s parents are not exactly thrilled either at the expense of a white gown and a few hundred chicken dinners, hall and band. However, my daughter insists on it and wants everybody to get excited. OK — so I’m excited. Whoopee. — GRANNY MAE DEAR GRANNY MAE: You are focusing on the wrong thing. Your grandson and his fiancee care enough about each other to commit, in a public ceremony, to spending their lives together. That’s a positive step that deserves to be celebrated. Whether you or I approve of couples living together is beside the point. They are adults and it was their choice. Be happy that they are now tying the knot to bind themselves together in a more permanent union. nnn DEAR ABBY: My sister, “Doris,” got divorced 10 years ago. Since then, she’s lost a lot of weight and had extensive plastic surgery. She now dresses in as little clothing as possible to show off her body. We frequently have family get-togethers, and I notice my husband, “Rod,” looking at Doris in a sexual way. She seems to appreciate it. At the last family gathering, she wore black thong underwear. I know because it became impossible to ignore after she positioned herself on her chair so that her pants dropped down, exposing
her fanny. I am upset with her. I told my mother I’d like to limit these get-togethers. Now my mother is mad at me. She says I am being silly and unreasonable. What do you think? — HURTING IN SAN FERNANDO VALLEY, CALIF. DEAR HURTING: Your sister is overcompensating for all those years she felt unattractive. I hope she learns quickly that the kind of attention she’s getting from dressing so seductively isn’t the kind that lasts. P.S. In the interest of your marriage, your husband should be less obvious about his ogling since it’s making you feel insecure. If you haven’t done so already, please mention it. nnn DEAR ABBY: My daughters attend a high school where a “Sadie Hawkins” dance has been planned for the students. The problem is, the guys at their school think it’s “cool” to wait until the day before the dance to answer the girls’ invitations. These are otherwise polite young men, but they see no problem in making the girl wait until the last minute to know if she even has a date for the event. I think this is extremely rude and inconsiderate. What is your opinion? And what do you suggest the girls say to the young men who leave them hanging? — MOM WHO CARES IN ARIZONA DEAR MOM WHO CARES: The courteous way to respond when invited out is to accept or say no PROMPTLY. I agree that it’s rude to keep someone hanging. If your daughters don’t get a response within a reasonable amount of time — say, 24 to 48 hours — they should invite someone else. And when the original boy finally comes up with his acceptance, he should be told, “Sorry, when I didn’t hear back from you, I asked someone else.”
We have a finished utility room on our first floor between the garage and a small bathroom. The room has the water heater in a corner and we have been using the rest for storage. I finally cleaned out and organized this room and rediscovered how valuable this space is. Now I would like to add a sink to this area. Can this be done, and what type of sink would be a good choice? - Mary, Rhode Island. A: Good job in cleaning out that area. Finished home utility rooms have become very popular. It makes perfect sense to install a utility sink. However, I’m not talking about the commercial mop-type sink that you may see in an office building. I would recommend an upscale residential utility sink. These sinks combine the larger work area needed for things like cleaning, gardening and laundry, but they also are designed to add beauty and color to a space. Because of the attractive style, upscale utility sinks can be used in other places like finished laun-

dry rooms and mudrooms, and even trendy kitchens. As for installation, since your water heater is in the room and a bathroom is next door, water and drain lines should be close by. But get an estimate from your plumber before you start the job. Bottom line: An upscale residential utility sink can really add a big “splash of class” to a newly reclaimed room.

A
s temperatures continue to slowly drop, more people are looking for things to do outdoors. And Fiesta Oklahoma couldn’t arrive at a better time. The event — presented by Ardmore Main Street Authorirty and McDonald’s — promises to offer a little something for everyone, ranging from different styles of music and entertainment for the family, along with various food vendors and craft booths. According to www.fiestaok.com, the festivities kick off at 10 a.m., with live music that will continue throughout the day and end at 9 p.m. There will also be a designated kids area for children to enjoy as well. There will also be an artisan gallery where local artists can display their work and offer them for sale. Some of the artists include Steven Phillips, who specializes in pottery, Gary Maytubby and Michael Corneilius, both of whom specialize in Native American artwork, flutes, weaponry and jewelry, and even pieces created by students of Oak Hall Episcopal School. We encourage you to take a trip to downtown Ardmore this Saturday, to participate in the events that the Ardmore Main Street Authority and McDonald’s have brought for community members to enjoy.

Yes, Obama likes to win
reaking news: According to a frontpage profile in the New York Times, President Barack Obama is an extremely competitive individual who doesn’t like to lose. Imagine that! The first African-American man to climb the slippery ladder to the White House has an edge to his personality. They make him sound like Michael Jordan. The newspaper’s snarky tone indicates that this is a bad thing. “Even those loyal to Mr. Obama,” reports Jodi Kantor, “say that his quest for excellence can bleed into cockiness and that he tends to overestimate his capabilities.” GOP White House aide Matthew Dowd compares him to George W. Bush, evidently the worst insult Kantor and her editors could imagine. Not content to be president, Obama seeks to improve his golf game. He likes to win at cards, and keeps score when bowling! Shocking, I know. Last February, when the governor of Montana asked him flat out if he had what it takes to win re-election, Obama talked bold. “No matter what moves Mr. Romney made, the president said, he and his team were going to cut him off and block him at every turn. ‘We’re the Miami Heat, and he’s Jeremy Lin,’ Mr. Obama said.” The Times sniffs that Obama had once praised the Harvard-trained point guard. Maybe they should leave sports analogies to sportswriters. Serious NBA fans had watched Miami’s guards suffocate
US: No deal with Cuba on release of American WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. State Department spokesperson said Thursday the U.S. does not see any willingness on Cuba’s part to seriously discuss the release of imprisoned American contactor Alan Gross, and urged Havana to send him home as a humanitarian gesture.

these jokers wanted the president to fail. They knew that if Obama succeeded in cleaning up the Republican’s catastrophic mess — have I mentioned the $1.3 trillion yearly deficit Bush left behind? — it could be a generation before their party gained the White House again. So now comes Bob Woodward, the ultimate Beltway insider, with a play-by-play narrative of the make-believe crisis entitled “The Price of Politics.” Fearful of Tea Party crackpots and feuding internally (Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor evidently despise each other), Republicans nevertheless believed they had Obama cornered. As excerpted in the Washington Post, Woodward depicts President Obama confronted with an ultimatum. A deal negotiated with Republicans by Sen. Harry Reid and Rep. Nancy Pelosi would trim $1.2 trillion in federal spending. Obama had proposed that much in a “grand bargain” he’d offered Boehner -- a deal the GOP speaker ran from because “deficit hawks” like Rep. Paul Ryan opposed increasing millionaires’ taxes. But the new deal contained a poison pill — a time limit allowing the GOP to force a second showdown during the 2012 presidential campaign. To Obama, that was tantamount to blackmail. Aides counseled surrender. Republicans had the votes. Boehner informed him he had no choice.
As Woodward tells it, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was frantic. To veto the bill would be morally wrong. Default would be calamitous for the economy, far worse than the 2008 financial crisis. The damage might last for generations. “The one thing that we need to bring stability to this economy,” Obama responded, “is not throwing the debt limit increase back into the political arena. I’m not doing that under any circumstances. So if that means that I’m not signing this bill, I’m not signing the bill.” Woodward reports timorous aides shocked by his anger. And then? “Obama never had to confront the veto question,” Woodward writes ever so disingenuously. “A few days later, House Republicans dropped their insistence on the two-step plan.” Like a Beltway Forrest Gump, the celebrated reporter shows little sign of understanding his own story. He tells interviewers that Obama’s failure to reach a “grand bargain” signifies a failure to lead. No, what happened was that Obama called Boehner’s bluff and the Republicans folded — a tougher opponent than they imagined. One game at a time, Bob. One game at a time.

Obama’s nothing if not a serious NBA fan. Less than a year earlier, Osama bin Laden was killed. Two months after that in July 2011, House Republicans brought their made-for-TV budget crisis to a head, threatening to make the U.S. government default on its debts, risking economic calamity unless Obama caved to their demands. There has been no more dramatic example of the GOP elevating party over country. On George W. Bush’s watch, Congress had increased the debt limit in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2007. Every GOP leader posturing against the Obama White House had voted to increase the debt level five times. In January 2009, with the United States’ GDP having contracted 8.9 percent during the previous quarter, with 2.2 million jobs lost, and the economy shedding jobs at a rate of 750,000 a month, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., announced that “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.” Like Rush Limbaugh,

Key’s Grocery getting face lift thanks to beautification grant By Kevin Kerr kevin.kerr@ardmoreite.com
Historical Downtown Ardmore has seen some renovating recently. Soon, Key’s Grocery and Quilt will join in on the club. The Ardmore Beautification Council announced earlier this month they would be participating in an Oklahoma program that targets buildings in a community that could use a face lift. While ABC has worked with the program before, Key’s Grocery will be the first private business they have helped. “It’s exciting, it’s the first mom-andpop kind of place we’re working with and we’re very happy to be doing this service,” ABC Executive Director Norma-Lynn Paschall said. The grant, made possible through Keep Oklahoma Beautiful, will make it possible to give Key’s Grocery a new coat of paint at virtually no cost with partnerships from the Ardmore Main Street Authority, The Chickasaw Nation ReEntry Program and the Ardmore Historic Preservation group. “The paint is being donated by H.I.S. Coatings of Oklahoma, so there’s no
cost there and Key’s Grocery is going to feed the guys who will do the painting,” Paschall said. “We may have some costs in brushes or little things like that, but everything else seems to be provided for us.” Built in 1900, Key’s Grocery is a family owned mom-and-pop grocery store that sits adjacent to the farmer’s market. The chipped paint job caught the attention of Paschall, who nominated it for the program. “New paint on this building will impact the whole block,” she said. “You only get a few seconds to make a first impression, and if we can clean up some of these buildings, it will make Ardmore’s first impression on people a better one.” Alicia Key, co-owner of the store with her husband Stan, said they are ready and waiting to get the project going. “I am particularly,” she said. “Stan’s been down here all his life so it’s just the store to him, but we’re changing some Key’s Grocery will soon receive a new face lift thanks to a grant made possible stuff inside and outside to the store.

Wilson’s Ward 2 remains vacant after no one files
Appeals court considers Arpaio’s traffic stops
By Michael Pineda michael.pineda@ardmoreite.com
WILSON — As the clock struck 5 p.m. Wednesday, not a soul had filed to fill the vacant seat in Ward 2. Now, the city is looking for answers on what to do next. Mayor Frank Schaaf said he had contacted the Oklahoma Municipal League Thursday to ask for guidance on what steps need to be taken to fill the seat. “I am waiting on an opinion from the attorneys,” Schaaf said. “They said they have never heard of that one. It really shocks me and I am disappointed. When you are able to get people to come together and put their thoughts together, good things will happen. It shouldn’t be up to three or four people to run the city. It should be a collective whole. I realize
everybody is busy but something has to give.” Christina Bench vacated the seat in June, just over a year into her term. The term for the ward runs two years and will expire in April 2013. The filing period for that general election will be in February 2013. In the meantime, Schaaf is waiting to see if the city will need to file for another election or if the council can fill the seat. If another election was needed, the soonest it could take place is February 2013. Needless to say, the council would like to see someone representing Ward 2 sooner, rather than later. “We can still continue to operate dayto-day functions,” Schaaf said. “I would just like to have another set of eyes looking at what we are doing.”

ACT EXAM
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal appeals court is considering a request by the self-proclaimed “toughest sheriff in America” to reverse a lowercourt decision barring his deputies from detaining people based solely on the suspicion that they’re illegal immigrants. A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said it would rule later after hearing from lawyers representing Arizona lawman Joe Arpaio on Thursday. The ACLU and other attorneys filed a federal lawsuit that alleges that Arpaio’s deputies pulled over Hispanics without probable cause, making the stops only to inquire
about the immigration status of the people in the vehicles. A federal judge in December barred Arpaio’s deputies who are enforcing Arizona’s immigrant smuggling law from detaining people based solely on the suspicion that they’re in the country illegally. In their appeal, Arpaio’s attorneys argued the ruling was deeply flawed and that the decision means that the sheriff ’s office couldn’t enforce certain state laws, even though no judge has declared those statutes unconstitutional.
Ark. police reveal more records in cuffed shooting LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — An Arkansas police officer said he didn’t
know a handcuffed 21year-old man had suffered a fatal gunshot wound in the back of his patrol car until after he got in the vehicle and tried to drive the man to jail, according to documents released Thursday. Jonesboro police released reports and audio and video recordings from the investigation into the July 28 death of Chavis Carter, who police say killed himself while sitting in Officer Ron Marsh’s cruiser. Investigators ruled Carter’s death a suicide. Police have said officers did not find a gun when frisking Carter, who was arrested during a traffic stop after officers discovered an outstanding arrest warrant related to a drug charge in Mississippi. Police also allege Carter had marijuana.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign is getting a boost from pop stars Beyonce and Jay-Z. The superstar couple will hold a fundraiser with Obama on Tuesday at a swanky New York nightclub that Jay-Z owns. Tickets are $40,000, but the campaign says a small donation lands a chance to win two tickets — airfare and hotel included. Beyonce says in an email to Obama’s supporters that she’s a huge fan and will do whatever it takes to help him win a close race.

Deena from ‘Jersey Shore’ gets 2-year ban from bar SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. (AP) — “Jersey Shore” is over and done in Seaside Heights, but the MTV reality show is still causing aggravation. New Jersey liquor regulators said they have fined a Seaside Heights cantina $15,000 for serving a “visibly intoxicated” Deena Cortese just before she wandered out into traffic in June. As a condition of an agreement, Cortese is banned from the premises for two years. Cortese and an entourage were allegedly at the restaurant for 90 minutes on June 10. During that time, Cortese walked on the bar, fell to the ground, then climbed up and stood on a red bench at a table of restaurant patrons.

Romney returns to criticizing Obama on economy Thursday
Ryan votes for budget larger than he prefers
FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — Republican Mitt Romney accused President Barack Obama on Thursday of “failing American workers” by ignoring Chinese trade violations, and seized on new Federal Reserve attempts to boost the economy as proof the administration’s policies are not working. Obama campaigned as commander in chief after the violent deaths of four U.S. officials at a diplomatic post in Libya. “No act of terror will go unpunished ... no act of violence shakes the resolve of the United States of America,” he said. The president spoke in Colorado and Romney in Virginia with less than eight weeks remaining in a close campaign for the White House in tough economic times. The two states are among a handful likely to settle the race, and most polls rate Obama a shaky favorite. With campaign costs mounting, Romney and Obama competed for the most innovative fundraising appeal. The Republican challenger’s campaign urged people in an email to make a $15 donation for a chance to join “Mitt on board the campaign plane for an exciting day

on the campaign trail — at 30,000 feet!” Singer and actress Beyonce Knowles and hiphop-artist-hubby Jay Z countered for the president. “Jay and I will be meeting up with President Obama for an evening in NYC sometime soon,” she wrote. “And we want you to be there.” As with a day aboard Romney’s chartered jet, a donation was requested for a chance to
win. Only the fine print of both fundraising appeals made clear that no contribution was necessary to win. Romney’s focus on the economy followed a oneday campaign detour into a foreign-policy thicket that left him bruised and his quarry largely unscathed. He made little mention during the day of the
events in Egypt and Libya that he had cited Tuesday as evidence of national security weakness on the president’s part. The issue intruded, though, when a heckler at Romney’s rally yelled out, “Why are you politicizing Libya?” The crowd responded with chants of “U-S-A” and supporters tried to place a Romney/ Ryan placard in front of the heckler’s face.

Biden plays to younger crowd in Wisconsin EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (AP) — Playing to a younger audience, Vice President Joe Biden stressed differences Thursday between the presidential campaigns on education, college debt and entitlement programs more in doubt for future generations. The education emphasis during a stop at the University of WisconsinEau Claire figures into the campaign’s newfound urgency to protect a state the Democratic ticket of Biden and Barack Obama won with ease in 2008. Younger voters were a key part of their victory. Speaking to a crowd estimated by local fire officials at 3,000 people, Biden highlighted tax credits, grant programs and other moves by the Obama administration to defray college costs and increase spending that schools could use to hire more
teachers. He portrayed Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney and running mate Rep. Paul Ryan as hostile to those programs. “They hardly mention education at all except in a negative context,” Biden said. He frequently pointed to budget proposals by Ryan, the House Budget Committee chairman, that would cut spending on items like college Pell Grants. Exit polling in Wisconsin showed Obama beating his 2008 Republican opponent among 18-to24 year olds by a wide margin, 61 percent to 38 percent. A Romney campaign bus circled the campus where Biden appeared. After ward, Romney spokesman Ben Sparks said he expects Republicans to make inroads
among younger voters. “All they have done is come of age in the middle of a recession,” Sparks said. “More students are living at home after graduation and unemployed.” The stop was Biden’s second this month, a sign of the state’s new importance as an established presidential battleground. Obama won the state by 14 percentage points in 2008 but Republicans have been on the march ever since.
Both sides launched aggressive new ad campaigns in the state this week, hoping to tip Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes their way. The vice president opened his appearance by paying tribute to U.S. diplomats overseas, particularly the four Americans killed this week at the U.S. Consulate in Libya. But he spent the bulk of his 40-minute speech criticizing the Republican ticket’s domestic proposals.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan on Thursday went along with a stopgap spending bill in the House that avoids a government shutdown but carries a price tag $19 billion higher than the budget he wrote in his role as a congressman. Ryan, the top budget writer in the House, voted for a temporary spending bill that lets Congress keep government open for another six months. That allows lawmakers and President Barack Obama to put off dicey budget talks until after the Nov. 6 election. Politics, though, were not far from Ryan’s first return to Congress since joining Mitt Romney’s presidential bid. He met informally behind closed doors with Republican lawmakers in what aides described as a meet-and-greet event. The House chamber later erupted in a loud cheer — mostly from the Republican side — when Ryan entered the hall. Ryan held court in the rear of the chamber as back-slapping colleagues surrounded him. Among those congratulating him was the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee, Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, with whom Ryan has an adversarial but friendly relationship. Ryan did not deliver remarks on the House floor ahead of the vote approving spending far greater than his budget outline.
FACT CHECK: Obama doesn’t think Egypt is an ally WASHINGTON (AP) — This week’s storming of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo by an angry mob has sent U.S.Egyptian relations to a new low, prompting President Barack Obama to say he doesn’t see the two countries as allies. But under U.S. law, they are. Asked about Egypt in an interview late Wednesday with the Spanish-language network Telemundo, Obama said: “I don’t think that we would consider them an ally, but we don’t consider them an enemy.” The statement marks an abrupt change from decades when Washington and Cairo were ironclad partners in fighting terrorism, countering Iran’s influence in the region and promoting Arab-Israeli peace. Even after last year’s revolution that toppled longtime Egyptian autocrat Hosni Mubarak, U.S. officials never suggested they were downgrading the relationship. In fact, the Obama administration has continued with some $1.5 billion in mostly military aid to Egypt each year and gone to great lengths to ensure that the country’s new Islamist government respects its longstanding peace treaty with Israel.

Mullin bid documents outline source of funds OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Documents show that companies owned by a congressional candidate critical of federal stimulus spending were on notice that recent work done for the Cherokee Nation was part of the government program, despite the candidate’s claim that he had “not a clue” about the funding source. Markwayne Mullin has described the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 as a “horrible waste of tax dollars.” After The Associated Press reported last week that his company, Mullin Plumbing, had received stimulus money under contracts with the Cherokee and Muscogee (Creek) tribes, Mullin said he wasn’t aware the federal government paid for the work. Cherokee Nation documents obtained by the AP show that a company executive signed contracts indicating Mullin Plumbing was aware it must meet certain requirements of the act, including that it had federal vendor registration numbers required to bid on stimulus projects. Mullin released a statement Thursday suggesting he typically doesn’t focus on the details of the numerous bids his company sends out each year. “Mullin Plumbing responds to countless requests for bids each year, and thankfully we win many of them based on our work and reputation,” the statement said. “We
have some great people who put these bids together and submit them, so I don’t see the details. What I focus on is building a successful business that provides over 100 Oklahoma jobs.” Mullin was released from the hospital Thursday after spending several days responding to a torn esophagus and was unable to comment, a campaign official said. Data posted on www. recovery.org, a government website created to track recovery funds, shows Mullin Plumbing had five contracts totaling $335,000 for plumbing work awarded by the Cherokee Nation on two separate projects to construct affordable housing in eastern Oklahoma. A Mullin Plumbing subsidiary, Mullin Pumping, also was awarded a $34,700 contract on a separate housing project by the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. Mullin, a Republican, has made his opposition to federal spending a centerpiece of his campaign in the race to replace retiring Democratic U.S. Rep. Dan Boren in eastern Oklahoma’s sprawling 2nd Congressional District. Mullin’s Democratic opponent, longtime prosecutor Rob Wallace, has suggested it is hypocritical of Mullin to rail against the federal stimulus while his company benefitted from the program. Wallace has received $2,500 from the Cherokee Nation, according to records from the
Federal Election Commission. Wallace’s campaign manager, Kyle Gott, renewed his call Thursday for Mullin to either support the federal stimulus funding or return the money his company received. “Markwayne Mullin is a classic Washington, D.C. hypocrite who says one thing and does another,” Gott said. “We have enough self-serving politicians in Washington. We don’t need to send another one there.”
In this June 26 photo, Republican Second District candidate Markwayne Mullin chats with supporters during his primary night watch party at the Will Rogers Memorial, in Claremore, Okla. A review of stimulus spending by The Associated Press shows companies owned by Markwayne Mullin received about $370,000 under contracts with the Cherokee and Muscogee (Creek) nations.

A matter of Faith
Mercy Hospital Ardmore
Every day is a holiday Beyond the hospital walls “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it” — Psalm 118:24 (ESV)
H
ave you heard of “National Hummingbird Day, National Cheese Pizza Day, Be Late for Something Day, National Iguana Awareness Day, Make Your Bed Day” and one of my favorites, “Eat an Extra Dessert Day?” Although most don’t celebrate these unusual days, I was intrigued by the list at the “Holidays for Everyday” website. Some I had never even heard of, but I might implement a few, like an extra dessert on Sept. 4. Oops, I missed that one. Is there such a thing as celebrating belatedly? I’ll pass on the day to observe awareness of the iguana as I don’t care for lizards. I make my bed each morning so this means I celebrate this holiday daily. I love the hummingbirds who visit my feeder each morning, but I don’t know how to make their day special. “Be Late for Something Day” was celebrated on Sept. 5, but as of this writing, I have two appointments for which I cannot be tardy. I had to skip that one too. That leaves “National Cheese
Pizza Day,” observed on Sept. 4, which has already passed too. However, when I do eat pizza on a rare occasion, I like one loaded with extra Carol Round veggies. According to this same website, Sept. 13 is “Positive Thinking Day.” Sept. 15 has been designated “National Thank-You Day.” The third Tuesday in September is the “International Day of Peace” and the 21st is “World Gratitude Day.” The fourth Sunday in September is a time to observe “Good Neighbor Day,” while Sept. 28 is “Family Health and Fitness Day.” What do these six holidays have in common? If you think about it, you will see the connection between these celebrations and scripture. I located 64 Bible verses about positive thinking, 70 about thankfulness and 54 on gratitude. What about peace? I found 199 passages. I also discovered 90 verses about our neighbors. Looking up the word health, I found 44 verses and 12 about fitness. Verses about the family numbered 116.
Another commonality they share is the relationship between our attitudes and the kind of day we experience when we are living it for God. Consider Psalm 118:24, “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” If we would begin each day recognizing, regardless of our circumstances, that it is a gift from God, our outlook on life would change. With a positive attitude, we would be grateful, giving thanks, not only to God but also to those He has placed in our lives, including those neighbors we might consider pesky. Think how peaceful our world would become if we observed these holidays, not just on calendar-specific days, but every day. The result would be healthier relationships within our families, within our communities, within our countries and within the world. We shouldn’t wait for a special day to celebrate, but treat each day as one which the Lord has made. That’s a reason to rejoice.

Chaplains use first-ofits-kind program to connect with patients Submitted
The grief of losing a loved one, anxiety after receiving a frightening medical diagnosis, worry over caring for an aging parent – aren’t necessarily medical problems but they are certainly spiritual ones. Now Mercy Hospital Ardmore patients have an additional place to turn when they need spiritual care alongside physical care. It’s called e-chaplaincy, and it allows patients and their families to reach out to chaplains for prayer and support via email. “Over the years it has become more and more apparent that our patients, patient families and co-workers have many differences in their needs and levels of support. E-chaplaincy provides 24-hour access and allows our community to reach out in a new way,” said Kathryn Abbey, Mercy Hospital Ardmore Mission and Ethics Vice President. Getting in touch with a chaplain is as easy as logging on to MyMercy. net, going to the message center and clicking on “contact a chaplain” or by sending an email to a chaplain through mercy.net. Patients can then correspond via email or request a phone call. Strict confidentiality is maintained at all times. However, those making contact through the Internet are urged to remember email is not always a secure method of communication so personal details should be kept to a minimum.
“When we have a patient in Ardmore and their family is in west Texas, they can now email not only prayer requests, but ask questions about local surroundings – things like where to stay, how to get to the hospital, as well as about advanced directives and end-of-life issues,” said Lin Stern, pastoral care manager at Mercy. “E-chaplaincy extends the pastoral presence for our patients and families.” Some of the issues chaplains address from a spiritual and emotional perspective include: n Grief/loss n Relationship issues n Loneliness n Stress n Managing change n Life balance n Spirituality and growth n Health issues and coping n Finding a support group E-chaplaincy is not a professional counseling service. Instead, one of Mercy’s trained chaplains can offer practical advice at times of change and challenge, a listening ear, and prayer and support. There are 12 trained e-chaplains across Mercy with plans to expand the service as needed. “We hope that in the near future we have the capability to even video conference with those that need support,” said Abbey. “We are looking for solutions to the needs we see on a daily basis and video chat will allow us to respond to requests quickly.” E-chaplaincy is now available to patients in all Mercy communities in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.

the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. NYTimes.com says the film is called “Innocence of Muslims,” and it was uploaded by Sam Bacile, a 52-year-old Israeli-American real estate developer in California. Bacile told the Wall Street Journal that “Islam is a cancer,” and that he raised $5 million from 100 Jewish donors to make the film. The New York Times reports the 14-minute video gained international attention when Florida Pastor Terry Jones -- the same pastor who threatened to burn Qurans in 2010 -- began promoting it. According to The Orlando Sentinel, Jones dubbed 9/11 “International Judge Mohammed Day.” “The fact that angry protesters climbed the wall at the U.S. embassy in Cairo today, ripped down the American flag and tore it apart further indicated the lack of respect that Islam has for any other religion,” Jones said in a statement. According to The Associated Press, Bacile is in hiding, and he blames lax embassy security and the perpetrators of the violence for the killings.

“The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation,” said Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. “But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind.” Clinton was referring to the terrorist act that killed U.S. Ambassador to Libya John Christopher Stevens and three other Americans Tuesday, on the 11th anniversary of 9/11. “While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants,” said President Barack Obama. The attack, which happened in the eastern city of Benghazi, was reportedly spurred by anger over an amateur anti-Muslim film that was posted on YouTube. NYTimes.com says angry sentiments related to the film also spurred violent protests in Egypt at

NASA’s retired shuttle Endeavour heads west Monday
At sunrise Monday, Endeavour will depart NASA’s Kennedy Space Center for California, with stops in Texas. The retired shuttle will be bolted to the top of a modified jumbo jet for the four-day trip to Los Angeles. The Associated PRess
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The baby of NASA’s space shuttle fleet is about to leave home — for good. At sunrise Monday, Endeavour will depart Kennedy Space Center for a museum in California, with a two-day stopover in Houston, home to Mission Control and the astronauts who flew aboard the replacement for the lost shuttle Challenger. Endeavour is the second of NASA’s three retired shuttles to head to a museum. The youngest shuttle will make the four-day trip to Los Angeles atop a modified jumbo jet, bound for the California Science Center. Discovery landed at the Smithsonian Institution’s display hangar in Virginia last spring. Atlantis will remain at Kennedy. After taking off from the former shuttle landing strip Monday morning, Endeavour and its carrier jet will fly low over Kennedy and the beaches of Cape Canaveral, then head west toward NASA points along the Gulf of Mexico. The pair will swoop over Stennis Space Center in Mississippi and
Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, where the shuttle booster rockets were made. Next stop: Ellington Field near NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. Endeavour will remain at Ellington until Wednesday morning so space center employees can see the shuttle up close. Houston had bid for a shuttle; the loss still nags many there. NASA chose New York City as the winner for the shuttle prototype Enterprise, which was relinquished by the Smithsonian to make room for Discovery. NASA’s two other shuttles during the 30-year program, Challenger and Columbia, were destroyed during flight, with 14 astronauts altogether killed. Endeavour was built to replace Challenger and made its flying debut in 1992, six years after the launch accident. It performed the next-to-last shuttle mission in May and June 2011. During its 25 missions, Endeavour logged 299 days in space and circled Earth 4,671 times. Total off-the-planet mileage: 122.8 million miles.

Packers run fake FG, beat Bears GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — On a night when defenses dominated the NFL’s most storied rivalry, the Packers got creative — and it worked. Punter Tim Masthay and backup tight end Tom Crabtree combined for a touchdown on a fake field goal in the second quarter, and the Green Bay Packers rattled and robbed Jay Cutler in a 23-10 victory over the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field on Thursday.

Commish: NHL lockout looms NEW YORK (AP) — NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman maintains the league will lock out players Sunday if a new labor deal isn’t reached, and star player Sidney Crosby isn’t optimistic the season will start on time. Both sides are far apart and there’s little time before the current deal expires at midnight EDT Saturday. Following lockouts last year by basketball and football owners, Bettman says hockey management is determined to come away with economic gains, even if it forces the NHL’s fourth work stoppage since 1992.
Gainesville comes to Noble Stadium By Erik K. Horne erik.horne@ardmoreite.com
Let’s see how Ardmore fares against the Lone Star State. Coming off their first win of the season
against Durant, the Tigers (1-1) will host Gainesville (Texas) tonight in a border battle of sorts. Gainesville is 2-0 entering tonight’s game, with blowout wins in each game. The Leopards play in Class 3A in Texas, which is roughly the same enrollment as Ardmore, according to athletic director/ head football coach Douglas Wendel. Wendel said the matchup with Gainesville will be a home-and-home series, with the Tigers traveling to Texas in 2013. But he’s more concerned about the now, and stopping a team that’s scored 85 points in its first two games. “We’re excited about the challenge of Ardmore safety Carter Swanson (4) defends a pass playing Gainesville,” Wendel said. “They against Durant on Sept. 7. Ardmore coach Douglas have the tradition of winning a couple Wendel says the Tigers’ defense is much improved entering tonight’s game against Gainesville

On a streak
Ingram walk-off gives Ardmore 2nd straight win By Erik K. Horne erik.horne@ardmoreite.com
Coming off an emotional week away from the field, Marietta rallied back against Ardmore on Thursday with a storybook seventh inning. But for the second game in a row, the Tigers wouldn’t be denied. Caden Ingram’s RBI single in the bottom of the seventh lifted the Tigers to a 10-9 win over the Indians. Ardmore fended off a wild Marietta comeback, in which the Indians plated five runs in their final at-bat. Ardmore (4-15) defeated Western Heights 13-12 in eight innings on Monday. The win Thursday gave Ardmore its first back-toback wins of the season. “We’re coming together; I can see it in the little things,” Ardmore coach Charli Crawford said. “I’m proud of them. They’re really coming together.” Marietta was in its first

game back on the diamond since the death of former Indians softball player Raven Willis, who passed away on Tuesday from injuries suffered in a car accident last weekend. With heavy hearts, the Indians (9-10) performed admirably. Trailing 9-4 in the seventh with the bases loaded, a runner scored on
a passed ball and Shawna Dewey followed with a three-run triple with two outs to pull the Indians to within one. Dewey then scored on a wild pitch to Brooke Jones to knot the game at 9-9, sending the Marietta fans and bench into hysterics.

own five runs with three outs left, Marietta roared back against Ardmore only to fall short. Can a loss also be a win? Marietta didn’t beat Ardmore, but you felt a sense of victory in the Indians’ 10-9 defeat. Along with its traditional black and gold, Marietta’s softball team added some extra color to their uniforms Thursday. In their first game back since the death of former Indians softball player Raven Willis, her teammates honored her with neon blue hair accessories and shoelaces. It was Willis’ favorite color. The Indians also added color to their game, inspired by the vibrance their former teammate showed on the field for the Willis game she loved. The Indians ultimately didn’t complete the comeback, but it didn’t matter to coach Erik Hughes. “Considering it’s the first game back in a week, after taking a week off from dealing with what we had to, I couldn’t have asked for more,” Hughes said. “They’ve honored so many things. They’ve honored the team, the family, the school.” The family was there, taking in a game its eldest daughter, a 2012 Marietta graduate, once played so well. Rick and Tammy Willis’ other two daughters, freshman Landry and eighth-grader Logan, stood in the dugout out of uniform, rooting on their teammates.

Tishomingo vs. Dickson
Comets and Indians clash styles By Spencer White spencer.white@ardmoreite.com
Dickson quarterback Chris Bamburg will lead the Comets against Tishomingo tonight. Dickson is seeking its second consecutive 3-0 start to the football season. Don alquist/the ardmoreite
In football, as in many areas of life, there is always more than one way to skin a cat. Approaches to the game are as varied as the mascots and uniform colors that flood gridirons across the country every autumn Friday night. And this week, there will be yet another example of this dichotomy in Dickson, as the Comets host the Tishomingo Indians. Dickson has rushed out to a 2-0 start, thanks largely to a tough rushing attack spear-

headed by starting quarterback Chris Bamburg, who emerged as an impact player for the Comets last season. “Their quarterback is the best runner on their team,” Tishomingo coach Mark Patterson said. “He’s elusive, but he runs with power and that’s
going to be our main focus when they run.” Dickson also relies on contributions from senior Drake Haggard, a strong and physical presence at the running back position. “We feel like it’s going well,” Dickson coach Jeremy Reed said of his team’s offensive development. “It’s hit or miss, but when we’re doing things right, it goes well.” Such is the story of Tishomingo.

Kipnis hits HR, Indians beat Rangers ARLINGTON (AP) — Jason Kipnis hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning off Joe Nathan and the Cleveland Indians snapped a five-game losing streak, beating the Texas Rangers 5-4 Thursday night. The Rangers remained three games ahead of Oakland in the AL West after the Athletics lost to the Los Angeles Angels. Nathan (2-4) had converted a club-record 31 straight save chances before the Indians erased a 4-2 deficit in the ninth. The right-hander’s only other blown save this season came April 11 against Seattle. Ezequiel Carrera homered leading off the ninth. Pinch hitter Russ Canzler singled and Kipnis homered off to chase Nathan, who did not record an out. Scott Maine (1-0) got the final two outs in the eighth in his third appearance with the Indians this season. Chris Perez pitched the ninth for his 36th save
in 40 tries, helping Cleveland avoid a three-game sweep. The Rangers scored twice to take a 4-2 lead in the eighth with the help of two errors. Elvis Andrus reached on shortstop Brent Lillibridge’s second throwing error of the game and scored when third baseman Jack Hannahan couldn’t handle Nelson Cruz’s grounder. Michael Young added an RBI single that gave the Rangers a two-run lead. Texas slugger Josh Hamilton, who leads the majors with 41 home runs and 121 RBIs, missed the game with soreness in his left knee. Rookie Leonys Martin started in Hamilton’s place. Hamilton left Wednesday night in the eighth inning and received an injection after the game. Texas manager Ron Washington said he doesn’t think it’s a serious injury and Hamilton is expected to be back in the lineup Friday.
Adrian Beltre got two hits as the designated hitter, a day after leaving early with a left shoulder injury. Beltre was not in the original lineup before he convinced Washington that he was healthy enough to play. Matt LaPorta had three hits, including a two-run homer for the Indians, who are just 16-43 since the All-Star break. Cleveland starter Zach McAllister allowed two runs and eight hits in six innings. The right-hander gave up seven runs over five innings in his previous start against the Rangers on Sept. 2. Texas starter Derek Holland allowed seven hits and two runs. The Ohio native struck out seven and hasn’t lost since July 31. Beltre singled with one out in the fourth, Cruz doubled and Young followed with an RBI single. Cruz scored on Lillibridge’s throwing error. Vinny Rottino singled
leading off the sixth and he came home on LaPorta’s shot that made it 2-all. It was LaPorta’s first home run of the season. NOTES: Cleveland manager Manny Acta said LHP David Huff will move into the starting rotation. Huff has pitched six scoreless innings in relief since being recalled from TripleA Columbus on Sept. 4. He will take the place of Jeanmar Gomez, who is 5-8 with a 5.61 ERA. ... The Rangers reached 3 million in home attendance for the first time in club history. The crowd of 36,102 increased their season total to 3,003,143. Texas still has 10 home games remaining. ... Cleveland CF Michael Brantley (sore left pectoral muscle) was scratched from the lineup after taking batting practice, and SS Asdrubal Cabrera did not start for a fourth straight game with a sore right wrist.

no fault of the offense, which has averaged 22.5 points per game. “They’re very scrappy, and they play hard,” Reed said of the Indians. “They have a good quarterback, good receivers and they love to throw the ball, so we have to cover well.” Tishomingo benefited from the return of a large chunk of its offensive starters from a year ago, including the entire offensive line, tight end Forrest Latham and receiver Tyler Cannon. For Reed, the emphasis will begin up front, where his strong and experienced defensive line will need to win in the trenches and put pressure on the Indians to harass the passing game. “Your play up front becomes very important on what kind of pressure you bring,” Reed said. “If we can create pressure, it helps those guys in the secondary.” Conversely, Patterson will look to trust his veterans on the line with giving his skill players the time to make plays. “We’re trying to shore up our pass protection,” Patterson said. “Our offensive line and running backs are going to have to do a good job when we try to move out of the pocket.” This could be a crucial game for both squads before district play starts. For Dickson, it is about maintaining the positive momentum of Reed’s second year and avoiding the pitfalls of 2011, when Dickson started 3-0 before losing out the rest of the way. His team’s mentality, however, is something he feels has completely changed with time. “It’s the way they carry themselves, the way they talk, how they’ve done everything this year,” Reed said. “It’s a totally different mindset.” For Tishomingo, Patterson wants to see a win, and also wouldn’t mind ruining the night for the Comets, who are holding Homecoming festivities. “We’d love to spoil that for them,” Patterson said.

Orioles keep AL Packers run fake FG, beat Bears East lead with win BALTIMORE — Manny Machado blooped an RBI single that eluded left fielder Matt Joyce’s desperate dive with two outs in the 14th inning, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 Thursday to complete a three-game sweep and remain atop the AL East. With their 81st victory — and 13th in a row in extra innings — the Orioles are assured no worse than a .500 record for the first time since 1997. Baltimore (81-62) remained in a first-place tie with the New York Yankees. In a 5-hour, 14-minute game, Chris Archer (03) walked Adam Jones with two outs in the 14th, Endy Chavez singled and Machado followed with a soft liner toward the line that Joyce trapped. Randy Wolf (2-0) struck out Joyce with two on in the top of the 14th. Baltimore has won 14 of 19 overall and is 26-11 since Aug. 3.
Yankees 2 Rays 0 BOSTON — Derek Jeter shook off an injury to tie Willie Mays for 10th place on the career hits list, backing Phil Hughes and helping the Yankees to maintain a share of the AL East lead. New York won consecutive games for the first time in a month. Hughes (15-12) gave up five hits in 7 1-3 innings, struck out seven and walked one. Rafael Soriano pitched the ninth for his 38th save. Jeter started at designated hitter after leaving Wednesday night’s 5-4 win when he pulled up lame lunging for first base trying to avoid a double-play grounder in the eighth.
Andruw Jones hit a fourthinning sacrifice fly off Felix Doubront (10-9).
Angels 6 Athletics 0 ANAHEIM, Calif. — Jered Weaver (17-4) allowed two hits in seven innings and struck out nine in his first start since skipping a turn in the rotation because of biceps tendinitis. Torii Hunter homered and added an RBI single in a sixrun seventh as Los Angeles avoided a four-game sweep and remained 3½ games back for the AL’s second wild-card berth. The loss snapped Oakland’s 12-game road winning streak, two shy of the franchise record set by the Philadelphia Athletics in May 1931. The A’s have been shut out a big league-high 16 times.
Blue Jays 8 Mariners 3 TORONTO — Edwin Encarnacion hit his 40th home run, Adam Lind also connected and Toronto sent Felix Hernandez to his third straight loss. Encarnacion hit a threerun drive into the second deck in left in a five-run fourth as the Blue Jays avoided a threegame sweep. Lind hit a two-run shot in the first. Hernandez (13-8) allowed a season-high seven runs and 10 hits in four innings. He has a 9.00 ERA in his last three outings, losing three consecutive starts for the first time since Sept. 12-24 last year. Brett Anderson (4-1) gave up five runs and nine hits in 6 2/3 innings. A’s rookie Yoenis Cespedes left midway through the fifth because of a sprained right wrist. —The Associated Press
GREEN BAY, Wis. — On a night when defenses dominated the NFL’s most storied rivalry, the Packers got creative — and it worked. Punter Tim Masthay and backup tight end Tom Crabtree combined for a touchdown on a fake field goal in the second quarter, and the Green Bay Packers rattled and robbed Jay Cutler in a 23-10 victory over the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field on Thursday. Cutler threw four interceptions, including a pair to Tramon Williams. Facing a fierce Packers pass rush all night, Cutler was sacked seven times, including 3½ for Clay Matthews. New Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall was held to two catches for 24 yards. “Clay was incredible,” Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. “Defense causing turnovers, if they play like this we’re going to be hard to beat.” The Bears also lost running back Matt Forte to an ankle injury. After Williams collected his second interception, Rodgers finally found the end zone in the fourth quarter, hitting Donald Driver for a 26-yard touchdown and a 23-3 lead. Driver, who barely played in the Packers’ season-opening loss to San Francisco, did a celebratory dance in the end zone, recalling his stint on the “Dancing With the Stars” reality television show. But Rodgers threw an interception to Tim Jennings and the Bears finally cashed in. Facing fourthand-7 at the Green Bay 21,

Cutler threw a touchdown to Kellen Davis, cutting the lead to 23-10 with 6:49 remaining. But the Bears couldn’t mount a comeback as Matthews and the Packers kept turning up the heat. Rodgers finished the game 22 of 32 for 219 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
Vikings get a kick out of rookie Walsh EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Legend has it that Minnesota Vikings rookie kicker Blair Walsh made a 68-yard field goal in practice before the season started. To hear Adrian Peterson tell the tale now, it was even longer. “I’ve seen this guy make a 70-yard field goal during training camp,” Peterson said. After Walsh bailed the Vikings out so dramatically in his NFL debut last weekend against Jacksonville, Peterson
can be forgiven for stretching the truth just a little bit. And if the former Georgia Bulldog keeps banging through 55yarders at the end of regulation to tie games and drilling 38-yarders in overtime to win them, the fable of that big kick will probably only grow over time. Playing a position that is often regarded with tolerance, if not disdain, by the rest of the team, Walsh has already earned himself a loyal fan in Peterson. The face of the franchise said he has been bragging to friends and family about Walsh’s big leg. When the 55-yarder went through at the end of regulation on Sunday, Peterson immediately looked for an uncle sitting in the stands at the Metrodome.
Manning looks the same, but he knows better ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Peyton Manning looked as though nothing had changed after sitting out last season because of a neck injury. Don’t
be fooled, though, says the Broncos quarterback — plenty is different. And not just the horse on his helmet. Manning insists he’s still searching for a comfort zone in Denver and figures his transition after 14 seasons in Indianapolis will take all season. Same with his rehab from the nerve injury that caused weakness in his throwing arm and forced him to miss all of last season.

Cowboys look to Moore for leadership, production STILLWATER (AP) — Tracy Moore wants to be the next great Oklahoma State receiver, following the likes of first-round NFL draft picks Justin Blackmon and Dez Bryant. His coaches want him to understand that there’s more to the job than just catching passes and scoring touchdowns. Coach Mike Gundy and offensive coordinator Todd Monken both met with Moore after he caught four touchdown passes in Oklahoma State’s 59-38 loss at Arizona last week, discussing what he can do beyond producing on the field. “He’s a good player, he’s a good kid, he’s a good looking guy, he’s charismatic. He has all the things you’d want in a leader,” Monken said. “But that doesn’t mean you can lead. Just because you have all those things doesn’t mean you can lead the right way. He’s going to lead. It’s just which way.” Moore had three run-ins with police this offseason, resulting in his suspension for the season opener against Savannah State. Once he was back, he put up big numbers in his season debut with eight catches for 106 yards. His four-touchdown performance matched the best of Bryant’s career, and he only did it once. Blackmon, a two-time AllAmerican and two-time Biletnikoff Award winner, never did it. “If you’re one of the better players on the team, you automatically get that chance (to lead) because people and kids that are in society today see good players as role models. They don’t make the decision based on other things like we do,” Gundy said. While Moore has been solid in games, his issues have come elsewhere. He

Rick said Raven was on the way to a softball tournament Friday when she was involved in the single-car accident that ultimately took her life. “It seems to have made an impression on people all around, which just tickles us,” Rick said. “It’s never easy to lose somebody like this, but it helps to have all the support we have around here.” Before the game, the Ardmore softball team prayed over the Indians. Following the game, the team received flowers. In between the acts Oklahoma State’s Tracy Moore, left, outruns Arizona’s of kindness, Marietta Shaguille Richardson (5) for a touchdown during the first half in Tucson, Ariz., on Saturday. The associated press
got benched for the Fiesta Bowl last season because of practice issues, and Gundy said he’s been known to run his mouth from time to time. “Does he qualify in a lot of areas that we as parents would want him to? No. Does he qualify to help us lead out here on the football field? Yes,” Gundy said. “That doesn’t make him a well-rounded leader. Hopefully that’ll help him in the long run in the other areas.” Both Gundy and Monken believe Moore has made progress since he was forced to sit out the bowl game, to the point that he even approached Monken to talk about leadership on Monday morning. Monken issued him a challenge. “Tracy’s got a little willpower. He just does,” Monken said. “Tracy likes having fun, he likes going out. So do I. That’s great. But then don’t say you want to be something that you’re not. Just say, ‘That’s what I am. I’m a hard-driving guy, I’m not a leader, I’m all about me. I like going out and having a good time and screwing stuff up. That’s just me.’
Just say that. “But if you want to be something different, then you’ve got to change.” At least at the receiver position, Moore is a natural to be the leader. He’s the top returning passcatcher after both Blackmon and Josh Cooper left last season and he’s one of only two seniors, the other being the quieter Isaiah Anderson. Charlie Moore, Josh Stewart, freshman Blake Jackson and others don’t have the experience that Moore does. In his eyes, he’s just been waiting for his opportunity to follow Blackmon in the spotlight. Two years ago, Blackmon emerged after Bryant left for the NFL and became a sudden star. He opted to return last season instead of entering the NFL draft, delaying Tracy Moore’s time to be the No. 1 receiver. “I’ve definitely been wanting to do that, since he did it his first year. I was kind of hoping he’d have left so I could do it then,” Tracy Moore said. “Now it’s my chance, just like it’s Isaiah’s, just like it’s Charlie’s and everybody else’s, I feel like it’s my chance now.”

The Indians only seized the momentum back briefly, however. In the final frame, Destinee Howell tripled to left field with one out and Ingram singled to deep right to bring home the winning run for Ardmore. Shelby Langston drove in three runs on two hits, including a two-run double in the first inning, and Kendra McClendon and Antolina Delatorre each scored twice for Marietta. “I really didn’t want this to be an emotional game,”

school and sports, representing the Indians. Delatorre said the Indians played inspired on Thursday. “That always comes to thought,” said Delatorre of Raven serving as inspiration. “It’s been hard, but it’s made us even closer as a family. “I think we all just wanted to be together ... to play for Raven.” In the dugout following the loss, some players wept, sweat and emotions spent on a game that was clearly more than just that. Can a loss also be a win? In Marietta’s case, it was Thursday. Erik K. Horne 221-6522
Hughes said. “I just wanted to get them back in it. But they showed enough character and proved they’re ready to get back in it.” Autumn Bruner was 4for-4 with two runs scored, Howell had three hits and four runs and Ingram had three runs batted in for the Tigers. Brittany Harrison and Reaghan Wilson each added two RBIs. Ingram’s two-run double in the bottom of the sixth broke a 4-4 tie, part of a five-run inning for Ardmore. Crawford said the Tigers have been working on being more aggressive at the plate and on the
basepaths. It’s showed in the scorebook — Ardmore has averaged 13 runs in their last three games. “We’ve really been working on baserunning and hitting in practice,” she said. “I could see a huge difference today.”
mendous strides” last week in the 27-12 win, forcing two turnovers (C.J. Long and Kaine McCullough interceptions) and holding Durant to just eight first downs. Wendel called this week the best week of practice the Tigers have had this season, a positive considering the variations of offense they’ll face tonight. Gainesville can run multiple formations, but will line up primarily in the Wing-T, which offers a different look than the Tigers are used to.
“You don’t see that very often,” Wendel said of Gainesville’s offense. “When you play something you’re not used to seeing, you really get excited about ‘can we stop it.’ “And then they’ve got more speed than anybody we’ve played. We’re looking forward to seeing how we match up; I think we’ve got a good plan defensively.”

Carbon monoxide monitor can save your life and home By Anthony L. Komaroff, M.D. DEAR DOCTOR K: What is carbon monoxide? And why do I need carbon monoxide monitors in my house? DEAR READER: Carbon monoxide is a tasteless, colorless, odorless gas. It sounds harmless, but breathing it in can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, which can be fatal. Because you can’t see, smell or taste carbon monoxide, it can kill you without warning –– that is, unless you have carbon monoxide monitors to warn you of the danger. You might be surprised how many sources in your house can release carbon monoxide. These include cars, small gasoline engines (such as lawnmowers), stoves, furnaces, gas ranges, water heaters and clothes dryers. The risk of poisoning is especially high in enclosed spaces with poor ventilation. When you take in a breath, you pull lots of oxygen into your lungs. The oxygen passes from your lungs into the blood. There, it attaches to a protein inside your red blood cells, called hemoglobin, and takes a ride as your blood circulates through-
out your body. That’s how oxygen reaches every cell in the body –– and every cell needs oxygen. Normally, there’s virtually no carbon monoxide in the air you breathe. However, if one of the sources I’ve listed above is releasing carbon monoxide in the air, it also passes from your lungs into the blood and attaches to hemoglobin. In fact, it attaches much more readily and sticks more tightly to hemoglobin than does oxygen. As a result, the blood can’t carry oxygen throughout your body. Without enough oxygen, cells suffocate. If you’re exposed to just low levels of carbon monoxide, you may feel tired and achy and have impaired memory and concentration, shortness of breath, dizziness or fatigue. If you breathe in high levels of carbon monoxide and don’t get immediate treatment, you could lose consciousness and die. Even if you recover, there’s a risk of long-term brain damage. To reduce your risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, first and foremost install carbon monoxide
detectors in your home. Put them in hallways near bedrooms and in garages FRANK and ERNEST attached to living areas. You should also: –– Open the flue when you use a fireplace. –– Never use charcoal grills or hibachis indoors. –– Buy appliances that vent to the outside. –– Have fuel-burning appliances professionally installed. –– Have your heating system, flues and chimneys professionally inspected before turning THE BORN LOSER on your heater for winter. –– Never operate gaspowered tools or engines inside. –– Never leave your car running inside an attached garage. Several years ago, the carbon monoxide detector in our home sounded an alarm. I was upstairs, and came downstairs to smell gas in the kitchen. It turned out there was a leak in the line to the gas range. So the carbon BEETLE BAILEY monoxide detector had alerted us to a fire danger as well. Fortunately, everything worked out well.
important matters up to the capriciousness of fate, take charge of events yourself. You are the final arbiter of your own affairs. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) –– Be a good listener, especially if you’re with a group of friends who are discussing some new topics. There’s a chance that what you learn can be used to your advantage. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) –– Conditions in general should be quite favorable for you over the next couple of days, especially where your material interests are concerned. Do
something meaningful. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) –– Knowledge gained from personal experience is one of our greatest assets. If you’re stymied with something you’re doing or with someone you know, look into the past for answers. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 19) –– Your commercial affairs are best conducted in a secretive atmosphere, with only the people involved present. Outsiders or kibitzers will only cause confusion and complications. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) –– If there is something pleasant you’d like to do, contact your closest friends first to see if any of them are interested in joining you. Hard feelings would result if you don’t. ARIES (March 21-April 19) –– Cozy up to a friend or family member who can help you advance a career objective. The ladder to success will be much steadier with this person’s cooperation. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) –– Because you’re an exceptional organizer, take it upon yourself to help an associate who is fumbling with a situation that you’re familiar with. Share your knowledge, and everyone comes out ahead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) –– You’re the catalyst who can unite the family to take on a common mission. The changes your clan will be able to effect will bring greater harmony to the entire household. CANCER (June 21-July 22) –– It’s an excellent day to discuss a critical matter with your mate. Reaching a collective conclusion will be far better than any answer arrived at individually. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) –– You should now be able to feel the effects of some influences that could be having a stabilizing effect on your family’s finances. The changes will be obvious and worthy of further development.
