The 2013-14 Leadership Greater Ardmore Class was introduced Tuesday night during a reception at the Red Dirt Brewhouse. The reception served as the first step in a nine-month journey for the 26 members of the 22nd Leadership Class. Ardmore Development Authority interim president and CEO Brian Carter, a recent graduate of the class, said the Leadership Greater Ardmore Class had a dramatic impact on him. “I’m a better person for it,” he said. He said the class would be given the opportunity to see things not everyone gets to see. The class is designed to give residents a comprehensive look at the many different aspects of the community. Dr. Bonnie Rigney said it is an opportunity to find out more about the community she grew up in. “I want to know more about the community, what’s going on in the schools and find out how things are run,” she said.
MANNSVILLE — Dr. Bob Neel has been named interim superintendent for Mannsville Schools, after a 2-0 vote Tuesday by the board of education. “I think I’ll enjoy it. I like meeting people, and I started out in a small school, worked in small schools and enjoy small schools,” Neel said. Neel was hired as part of an

The agreement will cost the district $6,300 per month, and last until a new superintendent is found. The search is expected to take one to two months. “We’ve got to get things turned around,” said board president Roy
Justice. “We hope to get things straightened out and get some continuity here.” Current superintendent Karen Woolly will serve through the end of the week. Woolly was assigned the position in May, and her resignation was accepted by the board on Aug. 19. Neel has been in school administration for 27 years.

A helmet should be worn when riding a bicycle so that you are protected in the event there is an accident.

People throw tomatoes at each other Wednesday during the annual “Tomatina” tomato fight fiesta in the village of Bunol, near Valencia, Spain. Thousands of people splattered each other with tons of tomatoes in the annual battle in recession-hit Spain, with the debt-burdened town charging participants entry fees this year for the first time. About 20,000 people took part in the hour-long street bash, inspired by a food fight among kids back in 1945. Participants were charged 10 euros ($13) to foot the cost of the festival. Residents did not pay. The Associated Press
and the DEQ provided Colcord officials with recommendations for their water system to prevent future red worm infestations. Several businesses and organizations, like Walmart and the Cherokee Nation, have donated bottled water for residents in the 815-person town to use, Wood said. Colcord Public Schools canceled classes Wednesday, but Superintendent J.D. Parkerson said teachers and students are eager to return to classes Thursday, though no official decision has been made.
TORONTO (AP) — Toronto Mayor Rob Ford admitted Wednesday that he has smoked a lot of marijuana. Taking questions from reporters after a campaign address Ford was asked if he had used pot. “Oh yeah,” he said chuckling. “I won’t deny that. I smoked a lot of
it.” Ford did not answer when asked how recently he had smoked it. The Toronto mayor made world news earlier this year amid allegations that he was caught on video smoking crack cocaine. The video has not been released publicly and Ford has refused to leave office. He has denied the allegations saying, “I do not use crack cocaine, nor am I an addict of crack cocaine.” Three years ago, Ford admitted he was charged with driving under the influence and marijuana possession in Florida in the 1990s. At first he denied these allegations, but later pleaded no-contest to the impaired driving charge and the drug charge was dropped. Ford was pressed about his pot past Wednesday after Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau admitted that he puffed on a joint three years ago, while a member of Parliament. Trudeau has said pot should be regulated and legalized. Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne also said Wednesday that she smoked a little pot about 35 years ago.

Calls to old girlfriend put wife on full alert By Abigail Van Buren
DEAR ABBY: While I was out of town, my husband, “Miles,” ran into his high school girlfriend at a party hosted by good friends of ours. She has been through a bad divorce, and Miles insists his desire to keep in touch with her is merely concern for a dear friend. Until I put a stop to it, he was calling her every night, talking with her for at least an hour at a time. He said there was nothing more to it. I have now insisted that he call her only once a week and in my presence. He’s complying, but it distresses me to hear him enjoy the conversation so much. Miles truly cares about her and she makes him laugh. He says he loves only me and will never leave me. He’s a good man and I believe him, but ... How should I handle this? I don’t want to forbid him to talk to her, but I am feeling very insecure. Am I foolish to let their con-
Changing filters in an air conditioner Scripps Howard News Service
Q: Every year I have to call a repairman just to change the filters in my air conditioner. There are two filters on top of the fan, one on either side of the fan. To get them out I would have to reach up past electrical wiring and a metal pipe, and I’m worried I might damage something important. I’m a retired widow and I need to do some things myself to save money. Do you have any suggestions to make this process easier? A: It is very important to change the filters in a furnace or air conditioner’s blower section more than once a year. The dust and dirt that collect on the filters reduce the amount of airflow through the fan. The collection of debris on the filter puts a strain on the fan’s motor, reducing the life expectancy of an expensive motor and increasing the energy use of the motor. The reduced airflow also increases the amount of energy required to cool or heat the home. What you are describing is a fan on a combination furnace-andair-conditioning unit with the filters above the furnace fan. The metal pipe is the flue for the furnace and it radiates heat in the win-

ter. You could receive a nasty burn if you were to touch the metal pipe while changing filters in the winter. The wiring is most likely for the circuit board for the electronic controls of the unit. If you damaged the wiring or the board, the unit could fail and neither the furnace nor the air conditioner would work. Here is my suggestion for you and lots of other homeowners who have restricted access to their filters. Change the location of the filter access. In your case, a slot big enough to accept a single filter can be cut in the sheet metal above the present location of the filters. A larger filter is installed and can be set at an angle on one of the original brackets now used to support the two filters. If this does not work out, a secondary support bracket can be installed by an HVAC (heating/venting/airconditioning) contractor. By setting the new filter at an angle, you are increasing the surface area that is exposed to the air stream inside the ductwork.

Capitol games?
Washington DC to bid for 2024 Summer Olympic games WASHINGTON (AP) — The inconveniences of the daily routine in the nation’s capital will be a selling point as Washington, D.C., makes a push to host the 2024 Olympics. “We are the safest and most secure city in the world,” said Bob Sweeney, president of DC 2024. “The largest expense of any Olympic Games is security, and the fact that we’ve got it pretty built in to our everyday life here in Washington, we would leverage that asset tremendously to put on this high-profile event.” Sweeney announced
Tuesday the formation of a nonprofit group aimed at making D.C. the first American city to host the Summer Games since Atlanta in 1996, and the first to host an Olympics since the Winter Games were in Salt Lake City in 2002. The bid has a long way to go. Washington was one of 35 U.S. cities to receive a letter from the U.S. Olympic Commit-
tee to gauge interest, and Sweeney expects about 10 to step forward as serious candidates. The USOC hasn’t even decided for certain that it wants to bid for the 2024 Games, which will be awarded by the International Olympic Committee in 2017. “They need to make sure there is a strong horse to ride,” Sweeney said. “And we certainly intend to be that.”

Briefs
Big investors pause amid tough August NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street’s big investors are in wait-and-see mode. There’s been plenty to give them pause this week: The stock market is down and oil is surging as the Syrian civil war escalates. Then there’s the lingering worry that the Federal Reserve will end its stimulus too soon. The next few weeks promise more big headlines. The government releases its August jobs report and Washington ramps up for a debate on the debt ceiling. Syria is just the latest ingredient in an already volatile mix. “There have been problems developing in the market for a while now,” said Tobias Levkovich, Citigroup’s chief U.S. equity strategist. The Dow Jones industrial average edged up 48.38 points, or 0.3 percent, to close at 14,824.51 on Wednesday. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index gained 4.48 points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,634.96. The Nasdaq composite rose 14.83 points, or 0.4 percent, to 3,593.35. While the selling in stocks appears to have abated for the moment, the trend for the market has been down. The S&P 500 has lost 4.4 percent since reaching an all-time high on Aug. 2, while the Dow is down 5.3 percent. With all that uncertainty, there are signs that Wall Street’s more active players — hedge funds, pension funds and mutual funds — are heading to the sidelines. Last week, investors pulled $10.3 billion out of the S&P 500 SPDR, an exchange-traded fund that is one of the most widely held investments on Wall Street, according to fund tracker Lipper. In the same week, institutional and retail investors socked away a combined $10.7 billion

DAILY DOW JONES

The price of oil climbed to its highest level in more than two years on Wednesday as the U.S. edged closer to taking action against Syria for the alleged use of chemical weapons. Benchmark oil for October delivery rose $1.09, or 1 percent, to $110.10 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. That’s its highest closing price since May 3, 2011. Earlier, oil climbed as high as $112.24. In the U.S. the average price for gasoline is $3.55 a gallon, according to the AAA’s Daily Fuel Gauge report. Because of ample supplies, the price of gasoline has remained fairly steady during August even with the recent surge in oil. With the upcoming end of summer driving season, demand should ease, helping keep prices down. But economic officials caution that high oil could eventually have an impact on the pump price.

in a move to keep interest rates low and the economy growing. It is widely expected that the Fed will announce a reduction in bond-buying at its next policy meeting, scheduled for Sept. 17-18. But Syria — and the risk of Middle East conflict — has raised a new concern for the economy: higher oil prices. Crude oil is up nearly 5 percent this month, most of it coming in the last few days. Oil rose $1.09 to $110.10 a barrel on Wednesday. Costlier oil almost always translates into higher fuel expenses for businesses and consumers, weighing on consumer spending and the economy. “When you add it all up — the problems in Libya, Egypt, Syria — you’re looking at 3 million barrels a day in potential production outages,” said Nick Koutsoftas, a commodities-focused portfolio manager at Cohen & Steers. Market observers emphasized that for longterm buy-and-hold investors — the average American with a 401(k) — it’s best not to follow professional investors to the sidelines. Lower stock prices could lead to buying opportunities.

NEW YORK (AP) — Fast-food customers in search of burgers and fries today might run into striking workers instead. Organizers say thousands of fast-food workers are set to stage walkouts in dozens of cities around the country, part of a push to get chains such as McDonald’s, Taco Bell and Wendy’s to pay workers higher wages. It’s expected be the largest nationwide strike by fastfood workers, according to organizers. The biggest effort so far was over the summer when about 2,200 of the nation’s millions of fast-food workers staged a one-day strike in seven cities. Today’s planned walkouts follow a series of strikes that began last November in New York City, then spread to cities including Chicago, Detroit and Seattle. Workers say they want $15 an hour, which would be about $31,000 a year for full-time employees. That’s more than double the federal minimum wage, which many fast food workers make, of $7.25 an hour, or $15,000 a year. The move comes amid calls from the White House, some members of Congress and economists to hike the federal minimum wage, which was last raised in 2009. But most proposals seek a far more modest increase than the ones workers are asking for, with President Barack Obama wanting to boost it to $9 an hour.
Trader Gregory Rowe, left, works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange as U.S. stock futures closed modestly higher Wednesday, while global exchanges fell, with Western nations laying the groundwork for potential military strikes in Syria.

The day chairs scheduled for the course are: • Local government • Economic development • Health care • Senior living • Education • Criminal justice • State government • The arts • Volunteer activities “I’m looking forward to learning something new,” Tommy Spradling said. “There are a
variety of topics. From what I gather, it is a month of classes and each month there is something going on.” The program began in 1989 through the efforts of Wes Stucky, who, along with several of the founding directors, was in attendance at the reception. A large number of graduates were also in attendance to hear the challenge put forth by Mita Bates, Ardmore Chamber of Commerce president. Bates said it is a time of great opportunity, a time of promise and a time of challenges. “It’s an opportunity to find the best use of your talents based on your passion,” Bates said. The members of the class represent a number of businesses
throughout Ardmore, as well as foundations and organizations. “I think it is important to be part of the community and know what is going on,” Denise Airington said. “I am looking forward to networking with the leaders in Ardmore.” Members of the 2013-14 Leadership Greater Ardmore Class Denise Airington, Ardmore Chamber of Commerce Joi Bass, Dollar General Distribution Center Les Brown, EJ Justin Busey, Arbuckle Area Council Boy Scouts of America Dr. Blake Bush, Blake Bush Family Eyecare Inc.

Family returns from Ecuador without son
By Jennifer Lindsey
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma City couple whose 18-year-old son went missing during a family vacation in Ecuador in June has returned home without him. August Reiger, who graduated among the top of his high school class in May, disappeared June 16 while out for a hike near the hotel where his family was staying in the mountain town of Banos. Although no ransom de-

If approved by the Ardmore City Commission, Ardmore City Schools will have two new school resource officers. The SRO is a member of the Ardmore Police Department, and is funded through the Southern Oklahoma Memorial Foundation. Two officers are being selected to replace Cpl. Barry Antwine, who was reassigned pending an investigation into a Wagoner County deferred prosecution case that charged him with sex crimes. The board of education approved their selections at a special meeting Wednesday. Pending approval by the city commissioners, Senior Cpl. John Randolph is recommended for the high school, and Sgt. Ruben Garcia is recommended for the middle school. Both officers will also assist with covering the district’s four elementary sites. “We’re excited to have you on board. This may be the first time we’ve had two officers,” board president Willie Tiller told the officers. Both officers were interviewed by the principals at the sites they will serve. “I asked him why he wanted to come chase kids all day, and he said it’s a great way to end his career and impact young people,” said high school principal Kim Holland

about Randolph. “I was tickled to death after interviewing him.” Garcia is already a familiar face at Ardmore Middle School. “He is the perfect person for Ardmore Middle School,” said principal Cindy Huddleston. “He’s had children there forever, and has gone above and beyond as both a parent and as a police officer.” The board also approved two res-
olutions which finalize the Carter County Public Facilities Authority incurring the indebtedness of the district’s bond issue. Because of these agreements, the district will receive all funds at once, thereby speeding up the timetable for the construction projects.

mands have been made, Ecuadoran authorities believe that Reiger was kidnapped because they have no other reasonable explanation for his disappearance. Family members have said Reiger likely would have been found by now if he had gotten lost or fallen off a trail into rugged terrain. Although the search for their son continues in the South American country, Chris and Randa Reiger recently returned home to Oklahoma City, where a younger son had to begin his freshman year at Classen School of Advanced Studies. worked in Macomb and Bridge Creek. Justice said that at the recent Oklahoma State School Board Association conference, he asked around about Neel and “nobody said anything negative.”

Spend some time at the CC Free Fair
W
hat’s as American as the 4th of July and apple pie? The county fair. The 71st annual Carter County Free Fair kicks off next Tuesday and contains a plethora of activities for the whole family. But the core element of the fair is a year’s worth of work for children who are exhibiting animals, and showing vegetables and craft items. And the adult showings are also a driving force for intricate handiwork, delicious baked goods and other creative venues. The event is a family affair and learning activity for people involved in the exhibitions as parents and children build their schedule around fair days. Responsibility, commitment and presentation are just three of the characteristics needed for a successful fair showing. For attendees, the fair is an opportunity to visit with old friends and make new ones. The entertainment schedule is broad and varied. Viewing the exhibits is always a priority, and we’re always amazed at the talent that resides locally. Craft and business vendors provide demonstrations of services and merchandise displays for every need. Shopping the fair booths is a great way to kick off your holiday shopping, and provides the opportunity to pick up some unique gift items. Fair food is another big draw. The closer you get to Hardy Murphy Coliseum, the air becomes heavily perfumed with the smell of roasting peanuts, candied apples and fried food on a stick — this is not a venue where nutritious and delicious merge. But it’s once a year, so a splurge may be OK. If you’re looking for some competition, you can sign up for the horseshoe tournament or you can always just stroll along the midway, taking in the atmosphere and color that makes the fair an icon of American summers. There’s something for everyone at the fair. It starts Tuesday and runs through Saturday. Check out Sunday’s Ardmoreite for the schedule of events, and plan your week around a visit to your favorite exhibits or activities! We look forward to seeing you there!

A dream from the mountain
T
his month we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington, which was a watershed in the fight for equality, opportunity and affirmative action. Let us not forget that it was a March on Washington for jobs and freedom. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the leaders of the civil rights movement understood that without jobs, there was no freedom. They also understood that while competition might be good for business, without cooperation there is no business. In 50 years, we have made a lot of progress. We’re no longer surprised to find minorities in positions of responsibility or in the public eye. We don’t have to worry about the first AfricanAmerican this or the first Hispanic that. A lot of glass ceilings have been broken: women Supreme Court justices — more diverse than the men; black head coaches in the NFL; an African-American president. Next up, maybe a woman president. Looking over the political and social landscape since the March on Washington for jobs and freedom, back in August 1963, it’s hard to argue with Chief Justice John Roberts, who wrote, “Our country has changed.” He’s right, to an extent. America has changed. In many ways, it’s changed for the better. And yet ... The conclusion of Martin Luther King Jr.’s
“I Have a D r e a m” speech remains as poignant and as inspiring and as relevant today as Donna it was 50 brazile years ago. Go listen to it again. He talked of mountains, saying, “With this faith” — the faith that America will live up to its promise —“we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope.” He quoted the song “My Country ‘Tis of Thee,” which concludes, “from every mountainside, let freedom ring,” and then named mountain after mountain — let freedom ring. Over the years, I’ve thought about that passage. I’ve studied the nuances of that speech, felt its words echo in my heart. But I wondered: Why name so many mountains in so many states? And as I thought about what Chief Justice Roberts said, and as I tried to find the words to express what I know to be true, that America has not changed as much as it needs, I came back, as I often do, to Dr. King’s dream. And I realized why the chief justice was projecting his own sense of privilege rather than reflecting the reality of America today. You see, freedom can only ring from the mountainside if someone climbs that mountain and rings the bell. Someone has to have that job.
But climbing a mountain isn’t steady progress up and always forward. There are detours, twists and backward steps, retracing and loose footing. What I see, and what all of us who dedicate every day to the proposition that we must work together toward equality in the workplace, must see, is that we are still climbing the mountain to ring the bell of freedom — that freedom does not yet ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia or from any of the mountains Dr. King named. Because freedom can ring only when the self-evident truth that all people are created equal is expressed in that most fundamental proving ground — the workplace. We have won many battles. But if we thought that a battle once fought and won is won forever —well, we need only look at recent events. We have had too many attempts to restrict freedom — freedom that begins with creating more access to the voting booth, not less; freedom that requires more reasoned discussion, not more talking points. We have had too much indifference to jobs; we’ve had lip service. But what we need is a commitment to education, to health care (you can’t work if you’re sick), and to the industries of the future. Jobs require cooperation, compromise, a strong infrastructure, public investment and private enterprise. It is easy to teeter on the ledge of the mountain of despair when we con-
sider the implications of decisions such as the Supreme Court’s in the affirmative action case Fisher v. Texas. As Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg said in dissent, “only an ostrich could regard the supposedly neutral alternatives as race unconscious.” So how do we avoid being an ostrich? How do we respond to the supercilious dismissal of facts? How can we find our way to a post-racial society in the midst of all this polarization and hyperpartisanship, where even the mention of civil rights can create a “mad dog” response (sometimes on both sides)? I think we begin by not just remembering, but embracing what Dr. King told Nichelle Nichols, who played Lt. Uhura on the original “Star Trek,” when he told her the importance of her character: “We will be seen as we should be seen every day — as intelligent, quality, beautiful people who can sing, dance, but who can also go into space.” And further, while we may be black or female or Jewish or Hispanic or male, those are not our roles. Our role is to work together in mutual respect, each with his or her talents, through increased acts of goodness and kindness, toward a more perfect union.
bardment of informational requests against the City and ADA, wasting our taxpayer money and the time of our city employees. For the last few weeks, we’ve seen the Transparency Advocacy Group’s advertisements and public aspersions, attempting to defeat the tax proposal and defund the ADA. Richard’s Transparency Advocacy Group demands transparency for the ADA, while also claiming to
have secretly recorded his conversation with a former ADA Chairman. This makes us wonder who else he’s secretly recorded during this witch hunt and what are they trying to gain from all this chicanery. It is TIME for the Transparency Advocacy Group to embrace and support the future growth of Ardmore. Let’s focus on development, not division. Joel Wisian, Ardmore

Health hints
Moderate alcohol use is safe after mild heart attack By Anthony L. Komaroff, M.D. DEAR DOCTOR K: My husband recently had a mild heart attack. He’s never been much of a drinker, but now he wants to have wine with dinner every night because he’s heard that it’s good for the heart. What do you think? DEAR READER: Not long ago a patient of mine, a 45-year-old man, asked me if he should have a drink every night to lower his risk of heart disease. I replied, “Absolutely.” A few months later, another man in his 40s asked me the same question. I replied, “I wouldn’t.” Am I confused? No, they were two different people, and different advice can be needed for different people. There are few “one size fits all” answers in medicine. Most people who drink alcoholic beverages regularly, and in moderation, have a reduced risk of heart attack. Many studies involving tens of thousands of people have shown that. Although red wine gets most of the praise, regular moderate intake of white wine, beer and liquor all have similar effects. Moderate alcohol intake may protect the heart by boosting levels
of HDL (“good”) cholesterol to a similar degree. For men, the best “dose” is one to two drinks a day, counting 5 ounces of wine, 12 ounces of beer, or 1 1/2 ounces of liquor as one drink. Women should limit themselves to one drink a day. (Heavy drinking takes a toll on the heart and circulation, along with the liver and other organs.) So moderate alcohol consumption is good for a healthy heart. But you are asking if it is safe or beneficial after a heart attack. To find out, French scientists evaluated 353 men who had recovered from a first heart attack. They observed them from within two months of the attack for about four years. During that time, men who averaged two drinks a day were 59 percent less likely to have additional cardiovascular events than the men who abstained from alcohol. Heavier drinking was less protective. Providing further evidence, a 2010 analysis of more than 16,000 patients found that moderate drinking is safe and beneficial for people with cardiovascular disease. That’s reassuring —
but it doesn’t necessarily mean that alcohol is right for your husband. Fortunately, moderate FRANK and ERNEST alcohol intake does not have a negative interaction with the medicines prescribed most often to heart attack patients: statins, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors and lowdose aspirin. Why did I discourage one patient from having a drink each day? I knew the patient had gotten into trouble with alcohol when he was younger. For that reason, he no longer drank. While a drink a THE BORN LOSER day probably would have reduced his risk of heart troubles, it might also have started him back on the road to alcohol abuse. And excessive alcohol use could have led to many health problems, including heart disease. Alcohol can have powerful effects on the body (and mind), for good or ill. Used in moderation, it can contribute to your husband’s continued recovery. BEETLE BAILEY (Dr. Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.

Take a seat, Johnny Manziel suspended for half of A&M’s opener against Rice HOUSTON (AP) — Johnny Football’s season will start a little late. Johnny Manziel was suspended for the first half of Texas A&M’s opening game against Rice on Saturday for what the school called an “inadvertent” violation of NCAA rules by signing autographs. The penalty appears to have brought a quick end to an investigation that could have ruined the seventhranked Aggies’ upcoming season.

No. 16 Oklahoma seeks improvements up front NORMAN (AP) — After a disastrous finish to the 2012 season, Oklahoma coaches knew they needed to rebuild and revamp their defense. Nowhere is that more apparent than on the defensive line. When No. 16 Oklahoma hosts Louisiana-Monroe in the season opener Saturday, it’s likely each of the four starters on the line will be making his first major-college start. Of the top eight players listed on the depth chart, only one, tackle Chuka Ndulue, has ever started a game for the Sooners and he will be serving a one-game suspension after an off-season arrest.
There seem to be plenty of promising pieces, but coach Bob Stoops acknowledges that he won’t fully know what he has until games begin. “When you say lack of starters, that’s going to happen when you graduate five seniors,” Stoops said. “I mean, these guys now, it’s their opportunity, their turn. Hopefully, here, seven or eight weeks down the road, you’re talking about, ‘Wow, we didn’t know this guy could do that.’ And that happens. It happens every year, hopefully as guys mature and gain experience and keep improving.” To say the Sooners struggled defensively down the stretch in 2012 would be gracious. West Virginia rolled up 778 yards against the Sooners and Oklahoma State
followed with a 618-yard outing. Then Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Johnny Manziel keyed a 663-yard performance by Texas A&M as the Aggies routed the Sooners 41-13 in the Cotton Bowl. The defensive line wasn’t totally to blame, of course, but the Sooners lacked a consistent pass rush, which is key to disrupting the high-tempo offenses they will often see in Big 12 Conference play. Ndulue led the Sooners with five sacks and six tackles for loss last season from his defensive tackle spot and should provide an immediate boost when he returns for Oklahoma’s conference opener against West Virginia on Sept. 7.

Texas tramples the King in day rout SEATTLE (AP) — Leonys Martin homered and drove in a career-high four runs as the Texas Rangers roughed up Felix Hernandez and romped past the Seattle Mariners 12-4 Wednesday. The AL West-leading Rangers tagged Hernandez (12-8) for nine runs and 11 hits in three-plus innings. The former AL Cy Young winner’s ERA climbed from 2.63 to 2.97. Martin Perez (8-3) limited the Mariners to two runs and five hits in six innings. The rookie won his fifth straight decision.
Adrian Beltre, who hit his 28th homer, and Elvis Andrus each got three of the Rangers’ 17 hits. Mitch Moreland also homered as every Texas starter got a hit except for Alex Rios, who chipped in with a walk, a stolen base and a run. After working out of a jam in the first, it looked as if Hernandez would escape trouble yet again in the second. Martin spoiled that notion, though, hitting a three-run homer with two outs. The Rangers added a Texas Rangers outfielder Leonys Martin is greeted at the plate after hitting a threerun home run that scored teammates David Murphy, left, and Mitch Moreland, pair of runs in the third right, in the second inning against the Seattle Mariners Wednesday in Seattle.

impressed with the performance of his defense against Ringling, the defending Class A state champion. “I was please at what we did defensively, other than being more aggressive in the secondary,” he said. Dixon said Sulphur will go 10 defensive plays and 10 offensive plays against Ardmore. Sulphur opens with a tough game against
Wynnewood next week. “It should be a good challenge for us,” Dixon said. “I think the kids have come quite a ways from last year. They’ve worked extremely hard over the summer and have done pretty well in practice.” Lone Grove will go into the scrimmage with several players who will not suit up because of injuries. That doesn’t excuse Lone
Grove from improving on last week’s scrimmage, said Turner, who said the injuries are just a part of football. “Those guys are going to have to step up and do a job tomorrow,” Turner said.
nandez in the fourth as he failed to record an out, giving up two doubles and a pair of singles. Beltre greeted reliever Brandon Maurer with a home run. Perez breezed through the Mariners, not allowing a hit until Kyle Seager’s one-out single in the fourth. The rookie hasn’t
lost since July 21 and has won five times in August, a Rangers rookie record in a month. Dustin Ackley hit a solo home run and an RBI double. Seager homered in the sixth, a drive to right that struck the window of the Hit It Here Cafe in the second deck.
NOTES: Hernandez matched the second-shortest outing of his career. ... Ackley is hitting .356 since the All-Star break to raise his season average to .253. He has two home runs in his last four games, after hitting just one in his first 85.

ARLINGTON — Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Jay Ratliff says there is no issue with his hamstring, meaning a setback that will cost him at least the first six games is related to a groin that was surgically repaired eight months ago. Ratliff spoke at the team’s kickoff luncheon Wednesday, a day after being put on the physically unable to perform list. He never answered questions from reporters during training camp in Oxnard, Calif., where coach Jason Garrett said he was sidelined by a hamstring injury sustained in the precamp conditioning test and lingering issues with his groin. The team put him on the reserve list as part of cutting the active roster to 75 players, and Ratliff can’t play until Oct. 20 at Philadelphia. He was out the first four games last year with an ankle injury and then sat the final six with the groin problem. Ratliff, who turns 32 on Thursday, had sports hernia surgery in December. “Absolutely I’m disappointed,” Ratliff said in a rare and brief interview. “But everyone knew what the issue was way beforehand. Everyone knew what it was since last year. I’m not going into much more detail other than that. It’s for sure it’s not a hamstring tweak. So that’s all I have to say about it.”
Landon Donovan extends LA Galaxy contract CARSON, Calif. — Just a few months after Landon Donovan thought he might be finished as a professional footballer, he extended his contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy on Wednesday with his passion rekindled. Donovan agreed to a multiyear contract extension that could make him the highest-paid player in MLS if he reaches incentives within the deal. His decision to stick with the Galaxy is another turn in an eventful year for the fleet-footed midfielder widely considered the best U.S. player in history.
DA: Charges won’t be filed against Scottie Pippen LOS ANGELES — Prosecutors won’t file criminal charges against Scottie Pippen for fighting with an autograph seeker who authorities say was drunk and exaggerated his injuries including faking seizures after claiming the former Chicago Bulls star punched him in the face. The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office said Tuesday there was insufficient evidence to bring assault charges against Pippen for the altercation with Camran Shafighi at Nobu, a sushi restaurant and celebrity hangout on the beach in Malibu. Pippen was dining with his family June 24 when he was approached by Shafighi inside the restaurant. Pippen obliged to have a photo taken but not with Shafighi, and then Shafighi followed the retired NBA forward outside into the parking lot. He again asked for a photo and an autograph from Pippen, who said no. Pippen told investigators Shafighi became irate, “grabbing at him, cursing him and then spit in his face.”
US Open: Venus Williams loses 3rd-set tiebreaker NEW YORK — Venus Williams dug herself out of deficits over and over again, until she simply ran out of solutions, exiting the U.S. Open before the third round for the third year in a row. At 33, two-time champion Williams was the oldest woman in the second round at Flushing Meadows, and while she made things interesting after a poor start to the match and to the final set, she couldn’t sustain her solid play all the way through and lost to 56th-ranked Zheng Jie of China 6-3, 2-6, 7-6 (5) on a wet Wednesday. The match last 3 hours, 2 minutes — making it the longest between women in the tournament so far — and the third set alone went 1½ hours, closing when Williams missed a volley, then a return, on the last two points. She wound up with 44 unforced errors in all, half on forehands. — The Associated Press

phy winner ineligible and that the NCAA agreed to reinstate Manziel after he sits out the first half against the underdog Owls. “I am proud of the way both Coach Sumlin and Johnny handled this situation, with integrity and
honesty,� Texas A&M Chancellor John Sharp said in the statement. “We all take the Aggie Code of Honor very seriously and there is no evidence that either the university or Johnny violated that code.� The quarterback was being investigated by the NCAA for allegedly accepting money for signing autographs for memorabilia brokers, a violation
of NCAA rules that could have led to a much longer suspension. ESPN first reported the allegations against Manziel earlier this month. According to the statement, Texas A&M and the NCAA “confirmed there is no evidence Manziel received money in exchange for autographs based on currently available information and statements by Manziel.�

pound junior-college transfer who reported late to preseason practice, is listed as his backup. Coaches and teammates have raved about Russell, although Stoops wouldn’t say if he would start against Louisiana-Monroe. “Quincy is getting better,� defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said. “It’s a lot to grasp in a week. I’m sure his head is spinning a little bit. Hopefully we can get him to the point by Saturday that he feels like he can go out and play and not think. Hopefully, we can get him as many reps as we can without trying to overload him.� Mike Stoops described Russell as “a big, strong guy who can run� and who “has a great motor.� He guessed Russell would play 20 to 30 plays against Louisiana-Monroe. End Charles Tapper, who had two tackles in five games last season, also figures to step into a more prominent role. Tapper said during the preseason that his goal for 2013 is to record 15 sacks. The Oklahoma single-season school record in that category is 14 held by Martin Chase (1997) and Cedric Jones (1994). “My arms have gotten bigger,� Tapper said. “I’m a little bit stronger. I understand the game a lot better. I’m staying in my playbook and staying in the film room. I’m trying to get better every day.� Except for Ndulue, junior Geneo Grissom - who switched to defensive end late last season - has the most experience, having played in 12 games and recorded four tackles. Sophomore nose tackle Jordan Phillips, who’s listed atop the depth chart, played in 11 games in 2012, recording 12 tackles. Redshirt freshman Jordan Wade also should figure into the mix at tackle.
