Elwer continues success at state fairBY STACY TAFF

[email protected]

DELPHOS As he gearsup to compete in the AllenCounty Junior Fair, 11-year-old Troy Elwer of Delphoscan look to a recent victory

to bolster his confidence.Earlier this month at the OhioState Fair, Elwer took homeReserve Grand ChampionBarrow for his hog, whichwas sold to Bob Evans andthe Farm Bureau Federationfor a grand sum of $20,000.

Not all of the money wentto Troy, only about $6,000,which is still a pretty bigchunk, Elwers father, Scott,said. The rest of it went tothe Youth Reserve Programto be put towards scholar-ships, skillathons and what-ever else they need it for.

Having competed at thestate fair only three years,

Elwer has had a pretty goodrun.

Ive won fourth over-all, third in my class andthen this year Reserve GrandChampion, he said. I wasnamed an Outstanding Market

Exhibitor in the Skillathon,too. I didnt make the topthree overall but I did getchampion of my age division.The Skillathon is the inter-view part where they ask youquestions about the animalyou show.

Elwers father says thatwhile winning trophies is def-initely a good thing, its farfrom being the most impor-tant.

During the Skillathon,theyll be asked questionsabout the internal parts anddifferent cuts of meat for thatanimal, along with a lot ofother things, he said. Theyfactor that together with theshowmanship and class forthe scoring and Troy hasbeen Outstanding for allthree years that hes shownat state fair. That shows my

City planning Elida Road,Gressel Drive projects

BY NANCY [email protected]

DELPHOS The city isconsidering a road resurfac-ing and widening project forElida Avenue and a GresselDrive water line loop projectfor 2012.

Delphos City Councilheard on first reading legis-lation to apply for grantsthrough the Ohio Public Works

Commission State CapitalImprovement and/or LocalTransportation Improvementfor the projects.

The Elida Avenue workis expected to cost $210,000with the citys 20 percent sharebeing $42,000. This does notinclude approximately $25,000for engineering.

The Gressel Drive work isexpected to cost $125,000 withthe citys share being 35 per-cent, or $43,740. Engineeringcosts were not discussed.

Safety Service DirectorGreg Berquist will prepare andsubmit funding applications tothe OPWC for the two projects

after the measures are approvedon third reading in September.The filing deadline is Sept.30 and grants are awarded inFebruary.

On emergency reading,council passed a lien against theproperty located at 209 E. FifthSt. for the utility delinquencyin the amount of $850.63. Theproperty is up for sheriffs saleon Sept. 7.

On third reading, councilpassed legislation advancing$50,000 from the Sewer Fundto the Erie Street SanitationSewer Fund and $40,000 fromthe Sewer Fund to the Menke

Sewer Replacement Fund. Theordinance was requested tomeet initial project costs.

The Erie Street project is slat-ed to begin in mid-Septemberand the Menke at the end of thismonth. Both projects are sched-uled for Nov. 1 completion.

A reversal of a $50,000advance in 2010 from theWastewater Treatment PlantsSolar Panel Fund back to theSewer Fund was also passed.

This effort was sought becausethe solar project is complete.

No new information wasavailable on the aggregateenergy issue on the Nov. 8General Election ballot. Theprogram will allow Delphosresidents and small businessesto secure a three percent costreduction on the transmissionportion of electric bills.

Council President Bob Ulmwill contact Ohio ConsumersCouncil to learn exactly whatportion of an electric bill istransmission so councilmencan answer citizens ques-tions.

If approved by voters, the

decrease would go into effectin January 2012. The city andcounty will also each receivea one-time $5 payment fromthe program for all affectedmeters. If council goes directlywith First Energy, the citywould see $10 each for allaffected meters.

The program is slated fora three-year timeline and isrenewable. Residents andbusinesses may opt out of theprogram if they wish.

Councils first Septembermeeting has been rescheduledto 7 p.m. Sept. 6 due to theLabor Day holiday.

My goals for thisyear are the top

prizes for my classand showman-

ship. This year isalso my first yearshowing a steer,so Id really like

to win in my classwith that, too.

Gunfire in Syrian coastalcity; 35 dead in 4 days

By ZEINA KARAMThe Associated Press

BEIRUT Heavymachine-gun fire eruptedacross the besieged Syriancity of Latakia today as thedeath toll rose to 35 from amilitary assault now in itsfourth day, residents andactivists said.

President Bashar Assadhas dramatically escalatedthe crackdown on a 5-month-

old uprising since the start ofthe holy month of Ramadan.Despite broad internationalcondemnation, the regimehas unleashed tanks, groundtroops and snipers in anattempt to retake control inrebellious areas.

Assad has launched mili-tary operations in Latakia,the opposition strongholdof Hama, the central city ofHoms, as well as the easterncity of Deir el-Zour.

The state-run SANA news

agency said army units beganwithdrawing from Deir el-Zour today after clearingthe city of armed terroristgangs in an operation thatlasted several days. Syrian journalists on a government-organized trip to the city sawarmored personnel carriersand other military vehicles ontheir way out.

Syrian troops seized con-trol of the eastern flashpointcity last Wednesday after

shelling it and carrying out astring of arrests.

In Latakia, most of theshooting today was in thecitys impoverished districtsof al-Ramel, al-Shaab and EinTamra. Al-Ramel is home toa crowded Palestinian refu-gee camp where many low-income Syrians also live.

They are arresting peopleall the time, they took mostof my friends, said a resi-

Thieves pull off Rembrandttheft in low-tech crimeBy THOMAS WATKINS


LOS ANGELES Itwasnt some bold theft car-ried out by burglars breakinginto a heavily-fortified muse-um with high-tech alarms toswipe a masterpiece. It wasa low-tech caper involving adistraction, an accomplice ortwo and a small sketch an11- by 6-inch drawing.

What was remarkable wasthe signature on the artwork:Rembrandt.

The 17th century sketchwas snatched over the week-end from a private art displayat a luxury California hotelwhile a curator was momen-tarily distracted by someonewho seemed interested inbuying another piece.

When the curator turnedback to the Rembrandt, itwas gone, Los AngelesCounty sheriffs spokes-man Steve Whitmore said.It was not clear whether theperson talking to the curatorwas connected to the theft,though Whitmore said a teamof at least two people wasinvolved.

Police are investigatingand using one appropriatelylow-tech method: a sketchartist putting together a com-posite drawing of the suspectbased on witness accounts. Itwill be released at the end ofthe week.

The Rembrandt drawing,taken Saturday night, wasvalued at $250,000 and wasbeing exhibited as part of aprivate display in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in the upmarketseaside community of Marinadel Rey.

The sketch was being dis-played on an easel or woodenstand and was apparently notfastened down in any way,Whitmore said.

He described the theft aswell-executed, but not exe-cuted well enough to get awaywith, adding that investiga-tors had several strong leadsand that detectives were look-ing at video surveillance fromthe hotel.

The sketch, called TheJudgment, was completedaround 1655 and is signed onthe back by the Dutch mas-ter. Rembrandt von Rijn iswidely regarded as one of thefinest painters in Europeanart history and his worldwidename recognition has madehis work a common target forthieves.

Rembrandt is a namethat criminals know orshould know, said ChrisMarinello, executive directorof the London-based Art LossRegister, an internationaldatabase of stolen artworks.When they come across one,they see dollar signs.

Marinello said the theftwas likely a crime of oppor-

tunity and not an operationcarried at the command of amysterious underworld mas-termind with a private art col-lection, as is often depicted inmovies.

Hollywood would loveus to believe there are paint-ings being ordered stolen,he said. We have yet to findthat.

Artworks tend to surfaceeither very quickly after theyare stolen or else disappearinto the underworld wherethey are traded between crim-inals at a fraction of theirvalue for drugs and otherillicit materials, Marinellosaid.

Ritz-Carlton spokeswom-an Vivian Deuschl said shecould not comment becausethe theft was a police matter.

The drawing was part ofan exhibit at the hotel spon-sored by the Linearis Institutebased in the San FranciscoBay area community ofHercules. Messages leftMonday werent returned.

The stolen sketch wasdrawn with a quill pen anddepicts what appears to bea court scene with a manprostrating himself before ajudge.

Marinello said the art-ist thieves most commonlytarget is Picasso because ofthe volume of the Spanishpainters work and his namerecognition.

who fled to a nearby, saferarea on Monday. He saidmany people who fled al-Ramel were later arrestedin Ein Tamra. Nowhere issafe, he added, speaking oncondition of anonymity forfear of reprisals.

The U.N. agency thataids Palestinian refugees

says more than 5,000 refu-gees have fled the camp sinceAssads forces began shellingthe city in an operation thatstarted Saturday.

The regime insists itscrackdown is aimed at root-ing out terrorists fomentingunrest in the country. Butvarious human rights groupshave accused Syrian troopsof firing on largely unarmedprotesters and say more than1,800 civilians have beenkilled since the uprisingerupted in mid-March.

SANA said today thattroops were pursuing armedterrorists from al-Ramel,

arresting a number of gunmenand dismantling explosivesand mines they had planted.

After months of deadlock,the Security Council finallyresponded to the escalatingviolence in Syria on Aug. 3,condemning President BasharAssads forces for attack-ing civilians and committinghuman rights violations in astatement approved by all 15council nations.

U.N. human rights chiefNavi Pillay plans to briefthe U.N. Security Council

Thursday on the rights situ-ation in Syria, the councilpresident said.

The London-based SyrianObservatory for HumanRights, which has a networkof people on the ground,said at least 17 peoplewere killed Monday, six ofthem in Latakia. The LocalCoordination Committees,another activist group, said a

22-year-old Palestinian moth-er of two died today.The deaths bring the total

of people who have died inLatakia since Saturday tomore than 35.

The other deaths Mondaytook place in Homs and Houlain central Syria, when securityforces opened fire on protest-ers. A man who had been shotearlier in Deir el-Zour died ofhis wounds today, accordingto the Observatory.

Turkeys Foreign MinisterAhmet Davutoglu calledMonday on Syria to imme-diately end the bloodshedand threatened unspecified

steps if it fails to do so.If the operations do notend, there would be nothingmore to discuss about steps thatwould be taken, Davutoglusaid, without elaborating.

Turkey, a former close allyof Syria, has been increasing-ly frustrated with Damascuscrackdown. Davutoglu traveledto Syria last week and urgedAssad to end the bloodshed.But Turkey, Syrias neighborand important trade partner,has not joined the U.S. andEurope in imposing sanctions.

Letter: Hacking widely discussed at UK tabloidLONDON (AP)

Convicted phone hacker CliveGoodman warned more thanfour years ago that illegaleavesdropping was widelyused at the News of the Worldand its senior journalists hadapproved the practice, accord-ing to a letter published byBritish lawmakers today.

Goodman claims in theletter addressed to the humanresource director at the Sundaynewspapers parent companythat phone hacking was carriedout with the full knowledgeand support of the papersleadership.

The claim is particularlydamning because both News ofthe World and parent companyNews International have longinsisted that Goodman whowas fired, convicted and jailedfor his role in the scandal was the only reporter involvedin intercepting voicemail mes-sages.

Goodmans letter, addressedto Daniel Cloke and datedMarch 2, 2007, directly contra-dicts that.

Goodman said he was act-ing with the backing of senior journalists, that other staff atthe News of the World werealso hacking phones, and thatthis practice was widely dis-cussed in the daily editorial

conference, until explicit refer-ence to it was banned by theeditor.

The names of those involvedhave been obscured in the let-ter. The Guardian newspaper,which first published the corre-spondence, said this was doneby police, who are investigatingwrongdoing at the newspaper.

The letter is among a batchof documents published by theHouse of Commons culture,media and sport committee.

Ahead of the publication,members committee said theywere likely to recall JamesMurdoch to answer more ques-tions about phone hacking at theNews of the World. Murdoch,who runs the European divisionof his father Ruperts mediaempire, testified last month thathe was unaware of evidence ofwidespread phone hacking atthe newspaper.

His testimony was disput-ed two days later by formerNews of the World editor ColinMyler and ex-company lawyerTom Crone.

Members of the Culture,Media and Sport commit-tee said they have not man-aged to reconcile the contra-dictions between those state-ments. Committee Chief JohnWhittingdale said it may wishto put further questions to

James Murdoch.He also said Myler and

Crone would give evidenceto the lawmakers next month.Committee member TomWatson said it is likely wewill take Murdoch back.

There seems to be a ques-tion as to whether JamesMurdoch himself misled thecommittee, Watson said. Wehave not reached a conclusionon that.

Whittingdale said thereare no plans to recall RupertMurdoch, who gave evidenceto the committee alongside hisson on July 19.

Police are investigatingclaims the News of the Worldillegally accessed cell phonemessages and bribed police toget information on celebrities,politicians and crime victims.

News International saidTuesday it is cooperatingfully with the police investi-gation.

We recognize the serious-ness of materials disclosed tothe police and Parliament andare committed to working ina constructive and open waywith all the relevant authori-ties, it said in a statementTuesday?.

BAGHDAD (AP) Cesarean sections havejumped in Iraq in recent years accounting for 79 percentof births at private hospitals worrying health officialswho say doctors are pushingwomen into unnecessary sur-geries with potentially seriousconsequences in order to makemore money.

The rise in C-sections is

primarily due to private hospi-tals, where patients pay out ofpocket, and its already havingrepercussions for women andIraqs overburdened healthcare system.

Doctors report longermedical stays for women whoundergo Cesareans, morewomen needing blood transfu-sions and suffering from infec-tions, and babies with seriousbreathing problems.

Although C-sections cansave lives when they arenecessary, Adel Muhsen, theHealth Ministrys inspector

general, say doctors greed isoften behind the decision forthe surgery. At private hos-pitals, C-sections cost two tothree times as much as vaginalbirths.

When I accompany myown patients to private hos-pitals, I see disastrous thingsthere, said gynecologist Ulfatal-Nakkash, the general direc-tor of Alwiyah Maternity

hospital in Baghdad. Thegang-like medical staff therefight each other over patientsto do C-sections and get themoney.

The rate of C-sections inIraq has climbed from 18 per-cent in 2008 to 32 percent in2010. Thats on par with theU.S. rate of about 30 per-cent, but far higher than theglobal average of 15 percent,according to the World HealthOrganization.

Private hospitals handledabout 10 percent of births in2010, Muhsen said. But asIraqs economy improves andmore people opt for private

hospitals, the rate of C-sectionsis expected to climb.Even public hospitals,

which are virtually free topatients, have been openingprivate wings where a slightlybetter level of service is avail-able for a price. Officials saywomen there are also encour-aged to have C-sections.

Almost 26 percent of Iraqiwomen giving birth at publichospitals do so via C-section,according to the 2010 healthreport for the Iraqi HealthMinistry.

Ohio fined for missingbenchmark for welfare

COLUMBUS (AP) Federal officials have turneddown Ohios request to waivethe millions of dollars inpenalties that the state facesbecause in 2007 it didnt meet

a requirement that at least halfthe families collecting cashaid through welfare be work-ing or pursuing employment.

Federal officials wontwaive the $32.7 millionpenalty for that year, TheColumbus Dispatch reportedSaturday.

The federal Office ofFamily Assistance told theOhio Department of Job andFamily Services that whilethe state submitted data relat-ed to its poor economy incomparison with the nation,most of that informationwasnt linked to the work-participation rate in 2007,according to the Dispatch.

Ohio also wants the gov-

ernment to reduce or waive$103 million in fines for 2008and 2009, as well as the pen-alty for 2010, which has notbeen determined. The statehas not received responses to

those requests.Jobs and Family Serviceshas supported a renewedeffort by caseworkers to helpwelfare recipients find jobsor training, and departmentdirector Michael Colbert hasurged caseworkers to sanc-tion recipients who break therules.

The economy bears a bur-den to some degree, but thereality is, we have to make ita priority, he said.

Less than a quarter of thewelfare recipients met thefederal work requirementsthis spring, but the newspapersaid that rate has improved tonearly one in three. Colberthopes to meet the federal

benchmark by next spring.Joel Potts, director of the

Ohio Job and Family ServicesDirectors Association, saysthe fines arent the onlyissue.

Its not just important toavoid the federal penalty, itsimportant to the people onwelfare and to (taxpayers)who view welfare as a tem-porary assistance program,Potts said. They want peopleretrained and retooled, andthat takes an investment.

County welfare officeslost staff and services amidcuts in state aid, but the news-paper said the Ohio budgetpassed this summer restoredabout $25 million in fund-ing to help counties meet thework requirement.

If we keep the focus onmeeting the work require-ments, we can get there,Potts said.

Moderately confused

By ERICA WERNERAssociated Press

WASHINGTON Overthe next few days the coun-try will get a glimpse of aPresident Barack Obamararely seen in recent months the one who engages withvoters, not lawmakers, andkicks back in Midwestern din-ers, not just the Oval Office.

The president set outMonday for a three-day bustour through Minnesota,Iowa and Illinois that willgive him a chance to heardirectly from the public in

a region that helped launchhim to the White House in2008, and where Republicanpresidential hopefuls are nowbattling it out. It comes afterthe president spent much ofthe summer holed up in thenations capital enmeshed inbitterly partisan negotiationson the debt crisis that crateredhis approval ratings and thoseof Congress amid a falteringeconomy and high unemploy-ment.

Eager to get out ofWashington, Obama evenappeared more casual evenas he left, ditching his suitand tie for a sports coat and

khakis.The president will get a

chance to absorb the pub-lics anger and try his bestto respond as he holds fivetown hall events in threedays. In between hell drivelong stretches on farmlandand rural highways, likelymaking unscheduled stopshere and there at local eat-eries and other gatheringplaces. It begins midmorning

Monday when he arrives inMinneapolis before headingby bus about 40 miles southto Cannon Falls, Minn., forhis first town hall event.

Its an official WhiteHouse tour, not a campaignswing, but its also the firstbus trip Obama has embarkedon since he toured the coun-try seeking the presidency.

And with the 2012 cam-paign already under way thetrip will surely take on a cam-paign feel at times, especiallywhen Obama visits Iowa justafter voters there have con-ducted the first test vote of

the GOP presidential primary,selecting Michele Bachmannin the Iowa straw poll.

En route to Minnesota,White House spokesmanJay Carney said Obamastrip was unrelated to thesurge by Bachmann, theRepublican lawmaker fromthat state. Carney defendedthe campaign-style bus tripas a normal part of doingwhat presidents do get-ting out in the country andtalking with people aboutthe economy and his ideas tohelp it. The president facesno primary challenge withinhis party.

Obama is unlikely toengage any of his potentialGOP rivals by name, aidessaid, but hes already indicat-ed plans to draw sharp con-trasts between his ideas on theeconomy and the Republicanapproach, which the presi-dent recently dismissed as abill of goods that amountsto little more than slashingspending on vital programslike education and Medicare.

At the same time, aidessay that coming off a debtdeal that included deep cutswithout raising any taxes, thepresident is braced to hearcomplaints from disaffectedDemocrats tired of his com-promises with Republicans,and from a public gener-ally sick of dysfunctionalWashington.

After his event in CannonFalls, around midday, Obamadrives south into Iowawhere he holds another townhall Monday afternoon inDecorah. Today, the presi-dent holds what the White

House is billing as a ruraleconomic forum in Peosta,Iowa, near the Illinois bor-der, where hell be joined byAgriculture Secretary TomVilsack to announce someinitiatives for rural areas.Hell wrap up Wednesdaywith town hall meetings inAtkinson in northwesternIllinois, and then in nearbyAlpha, Ill., before returningto Washington. On Thursdayhe flies with his fam-ily to Marthas Vineyard inMassachusetts for his annualsummer vacation.

The bus tour itinerary

takes Obama through threestates he won in 2008 butwhere he now needs to shoreup his standing. In Iowa,Obama returns to a state thathanded him a key victoryover Democratic rival HillaryRodham Clinton in 2008 butwhere Republicans have nowbeen blanketing the state inpreparation for its first-in-the-nation caucuses, attacking thepresident at every turn.

Obama ditches DC

to mingle with voters

By THOMASBEAUMONT

Associated Press

Texas Gov. Rick Perrycontended Monday he hasthe best economic record andexecutive experience in gov-ernment of any Republicanpresidential candidate, con-trasting his credentials withthose of his top two rivals,Mitt Romney and MicheleBachmann.

I respect all the othercandidates in the field butthere is no one that can standtoe-to-toe with us, Perry toldThe Associated Press in aninterview at the start of hisfirst full day campaigning inthe leadoff caucus state of

Iowa.Perry also offered his firstpolicy proposal as a candi-date, calling for a six-monthmoratorium on federal busi-ness regulations that he saidwere holding back job growthnationally. He brought theproposal forward just asPresident Barack Obamatraveled to the Midwest for abus tour and speeches on theeconomy.

The Texan argued thatthe Obama administra-tions Labor Department andEnvironmental ProtectionAgency, for instance, haverestrained business growth

with excessive restrictions.Taken together, Perrys

comments about his own

credentials and the policyproposal were an effort toestablish him as the strongestRepublican able to challengeObama on the economy and lay claim to Romneysmantle of the jobs candidate.

That effort comes in ear-nest just days after Perryentered the GOP field and asthe race comes into sharperfocus.

Romney, the formerMassachusetts governor whohas emphasized his businessexperience, sits atop nation-al polls. But hes now fac-ing a double-barreled threatfrom Perry, Texas longest-

serving governor who for-mally entered the GOP raceSaturday, and Bachmann, theMinnesota congresswomanwho won a test vote of Iowansthat same day.

In the interview, Perrynever directly criticized thetwo even when given oppor-tunities to comment on themdirectly. Rather, he promot-ed his own job-growth andgubernatorial records.

Later, Perry told report-ers during a visit to the IowaState Fair: Theres plenty oftime to look at his four yearsin Massachusetts and my 10years in Texas.

As he campaigns, Romneyis spending more time talk-ing about his decades in the

business world, including histime as an executive at BainCapital, a venture capital firmhe founded, than his recordas governor. Hes trying tosell himself as the strongestcandidate on the economy buthas been criticized by formerUtah Gov. Jon Huntsman forMassachusetts ranking 47thin terms of job growth, whileUtah ranked No. 1.

In the interview, Perrysidestepped an opportunity toassail Romney directly, say-ing: Trying to compare thejob creation and the numbersof jobs with any other state is

just not an apples-to-apples

comparison.But later, Perry, who has

worked in government for 27

years, said being a business

executive is not the only way

to create jobs.

I was in the private sectorfor 13 years after I left the AirForce, Perry told reportersat the state fair when askedwhether private sector expe-rience trumps. I wasnt onWall Street. I wasnt work-ing at Bain Capital. But theprinciples of the free market,they work whether youre in afarm field in Iowa or whetheryoure on Wall Street.

Perry says his jobs record in Texas is a big plus

New pecking order in GOP eld shifts race for WHBy PHILIP ELLIOTT

Associated Press

DES MOINES, Iowa Suddenly facing two seriousrivals, GOP front-runner MittRomney declared on Mondayhis business background setshim apart in the presidentialrace and dismissed the buzzover emerging challengers asthe political winds of theday. Rick Perry insisted noone could go toe to toe withhim, and rising star MicheleBachmann tried to turn herIowa straw poll victory into

gains against both men.In less than a week, theslow-to-begin race for theRepublican nomination hasaccelerated and undergonea dramatic shift, essentiallybecoming a three-way contestfor the chance to challengePresident Barack Obama nextyear.

Romney, who has beenriding high for months whileother Republicans have beenstruggling to emerge fromthe pack, now finds himselffacing two significant foes

in Perry, the Texas gover-nor who formally enteredthe race only Saturday, andBachmann, the Minnesotacongresswoman who won theIowa straw poll that sameday.

Its a wide-open race,Gov. Terry Branstad declaredafter a five-day stretch thatsaw every Republican presi-dential candidate show up inhis state, where party caucus-es kick off the GOP nomina-tion fight next winter. WhilePerry entered the nomina-tion battle, former Minnesota

Gov. Tim Pawlenty, exited,further reshuffling the deck.Over the next few months,

Romney, Bachmann andPerry will try to win over aGOP electorate angry at thechange Obama has broughtand looking for a candidatewho has the right mix of cre-dentials to beat the incumbentDemocrat.

Romney, who lost thenomination in 2008, hasntbeen able to unite warringfactions of the GOP elector-ate since entering the race

earlier this year. Social con-servatives and the tea partyhavent warmed to his can-didacy, and he has left someeconomic conservatives andRepublicans in the partyestablishment underwhelmed.Hes focused heavily on NewHampshire and has down-played his campaign in Iowa,but that may change given thatBachmann and Perry, both ofwhom have support amongthe tea party and Christianevangelicals, are competinghard in this state where socialconservatives dominate.

By Monday, the threeRepublicans with the stron-gest chance of winning thenomination fanned out acrossearly primary states, all look-ing for the upper hand just asObama opened a three-dayMidwest bus tour.

Romney, overshadowedfor much of the weekend, re-emerged in Litchfield, N.H.,and, during a conversationwith reporters, quickly pro-vided a window into how hewould address Perrys entryinto the race.

CHICAGO (AP) Thenations largest hot dog mak-ers argued about the meaningof 100 percent pure beef andthe merits of ketchup Mondayin a lawsuit over advertisingclaims stemming from theiryears of dog-eat-dog competi-tion.

Attorneys for Sara LeeCorp., which makes Ball Parkfranks, and Kraft Foods Inc.,which makes Oscar Mayer,superimposed giant hot dogson a courtroom screen as theydelivered opening remarks ina case that could clarify howfar companies can go whenboasting about their products.

Theres never been any-thing of this scope . . . in theentire history of hot dogs,Sara Lees attorney, RichardLeighton, said about what thecompany says is Krafts falseand deceptive ad campaignthat claimed Oscar Mayerwieners were the best-tastingfranks.

U.S. Magistrate JudgeMorton Denlow, who willdecide if either companybroke false advertising laws,couldnt resist a note of levity

as he cast his eyes at the attor-neys and proclaimed, Let thewiener wars begin.

The legal dog fight beganwhen Sara Lee filed a lawsuitin 2009, singling out OscarMayer ads that brag its dogsbeat Ball Park franks in anational taste test. Leightonargued the tests were deeplyflawed and gave as an exam-ple that the hot dogs were pre-sented to participants withoutbuns or any condiments, suchas ketchup.

They were served boiledhot dogs on a white paperplate, he told Denlow. Asa result, Leighton said, Sara

Lees hot dogs may well havetasted too salty or smoky whenconsumed sans buns.

Among other flaws, hewent on, was a rule barringanyone who ever worked in afactory from taking the test.

You may be excludingblue-collar workers, he said.And theyre big hot-dog eat-ers.

Kraft filed a counter-suit later in 2009, accusingSara Lee of running ads forBall Parks with the taglineAmericas Best Franks basedon an award from ChefsBest,a food-judging organizationbased in San Francisco.

The other focus of the trialis Krafts claim that its OscarMayer Jumbo Beef Franks are100 percent pure beef. SaraLee says the claim is untrue,that it cast aspersions on BallPark franks and damaged theirsales.

But Krafts attorney,Stephen ONeil, told the judgethe 100 percent beef tag wasnever intended to suggestthere werent other ingredi-ents like water, salt andvarious spices. It was onlymeant to convey that the meatthat was used was all beef,he said.

That stress was designed to

counter lingering impressionsthat hot dogs contain suspect,mysterious meats, he added.And he said it defied commonsense to argue that consum-ers might take the label asmeaning that the one and onlyingredient was beef.

If there was nothing butbeef, it wouldnt be a hotdog, he said, It would be ahamburger.

Denlow let slip that, accord-ing to his own personal tastes,neither Oscar Mayer nor BallPark are top dog.

Welcome back again, ProHeart 6

Summer is still here andthat means flea and tick pop-ulations are growing expo-nentially with the heat andhumidity. For veterinarians,the warmer months also sig-nify a growing mosquito pop-ulation and increased risk formosquito-transmitted heart-worm disease.

Veterinarians educate petowners dailyabout the impor-tance of heart-worm diseaseprevention. Thereality is thatwhile most pet

owners wantto be diligentabout prevent-ing heartwormdisease in theirdogs and cats,client compli-ance for regular,once-monthlyheartworm pre-ventive administration is onlyabout 51 percent. That is ashocking figure when consid-ering pet numbers and dosesof preventive medication solddaily.

Heartworm disease canbe deadly, resulting in con-gestive heart failure in dogs

and asthma-like symptomsand even sudden death forcats. Treatment is availablefor dogs but is costly andinvolves the use of poten-tially toxic, arsenic drugs.

Currently, there is noapproved, safe treatmentfor heartworms in cats.Heartworm-positive felinepatients are usually treatedsymptomatically while await-ing the natural death of theadult heartworms living intheir hearts (usually two tothree years). During thistime, infected cats are at riskfor serious respiratory prob-lems and unexpected, sudden

death. Please ask your vet-erinarian for a monthly heart-worm preventive medicationfor your cat, then be certain toadminister it consistently.

As always, an ounce ofprevention is definitely wortha pound of cure when it comesto heartworm disease. Properand timely administration ofheartworm preventive medi-cations is essential to keep

cats and dogs heartworm-free.

But, I already informedyou that even the best petowners have difficulty beingcompliant with once month-ly heartworm preventivemedication administration. Inlight of that surprising pieceof information, I am urgingall dog owners to ask their

veterinariansabout ProHeart6 injectablecanine heart-worm preven-tive medica-tion, proven to

prevent canineheartworm dis-ease continu-ously for sixmonths. Notethat this drugmay be givento dogs only.

ProHeart 6was available to

US veterinarians in 2001, butwas voluntarily removed fromthe market place due to safetyconcerns in September 2004.However, the manufacturerof this drug persisted withits argument that ProHeart6 is both safe and extremelyeffective. Proheart 6 returned

to the veterinary market withrestrictions for its use in 2008.Im happy to report that as ofthis spring, the majority ofthose restrictions have beenlifted, making it easy andconvenient for veterinariansto promote and administerProHeart 6 to prevent heart-worm infections in dogs foras long as six months.

This is exciting news forveterinarians to again havethe opportunity to increasecanine heartworm preven-tive compliance through useof a six-month injectableheartworm preventive. Dogsreceiving ProHeart 6 for the

first time must be at least 6months old and under 7 yearsof age. Once a dog receivesProHeart 6, there is no upperage limit for re-administra-tion of the drug every sixmonths.

For your dog to receiveits first ProHeart 6 injec-tion, your veterinarian willexamine your pet to certifyhealth and perform a heart-

worm test as needed. Similarto human pharmacies, youwill be asked to sign a one-time Drug Information andConsent Form prior to yourdog being injected with thisdrug.

I can tell you with con-fidence that when I usedProHeart 6 over three yearsbetween 2001 and 2004, itwas an extremely popularheartworm preventive choicefor my clients. We adminis-tered hundreds of doses ofProHeart 6 and observed noadverse events associatedwith it, just as we rarely see

adverse events with once-monthly heartworm preven-tives.

The only difference in myexperience is that, as a vet-erinarian, I was able to do abetter job preventing heart-worm disease for my caninepatients when I used ProHeart6. By administering ProHeart6 to dogs every six months,I had the security of know-ing that these patients wereindeed heartworm protected(compliant!) AND I sawthese dogs every six monthsfor wellness exams. I hadyet another opportunity to beproactive in detecting illness

early in my canine patients.If you want to improveyour compliance for pre-venting heartworm disease inyour dog, ask your veterinar-ian if Proheart 6 administra-tion is right for your pet.

BEREA Colt McCoyshowed up for his postgamenews conference wearing aT-shirt endorsing a fishingtackle company.

Maybe best to reel in theexpectations right away.

After all, McCoy mayhave a tough time topping hisexhibition debut.

Looking poised and com-fortable in Clevelands newWest Coast offense, McCoyoutshined Super Bowl star

Aaron Rodgers and was near-ly flawless as the Browns beatthe Green Bay Packers 27-17on Saturday night, makingCleveland rookie coach PatShurmur a winner in his firstNFL preseason game.

McCoy completed 9-of-10 passes for 135 yards, onetouchdown and compiled a152.1 passers rating just afew points shy of perfection.The Browns, who have spentthe past decade in a frustrat-ing search for a franchisequarterback to lead them backto respectability, are hopingMcCoy, may finally answertheir prayers.

Hes off to a nice start.Pretty good, McCoy

humbly said in assessing hisperformance. We under-stand we have a long wayto go.

No doubt. But for the firsttime in ages, the Browns, whohave just one playoff appear-ance since 1999 and lost atleast 10 games in seven ofthe last eight seasons, seem to

be headed in the same direc-tion. And, theyre countingon McCoy to lead the way.

Needing to get up to speedon the complex offense dur-ing the off-season, McCoysought advice from a WestCoast master.

Brett Favrewas happy tohelp.

As theleagues laborlockout draggedon, McCoy wentto Hattiesburg,Miss., and spent

a few days withthe 3-time NFLMVP, who learned the WestCoast system while play-ing for Browns presidentMike Holmgren in GreenBay. McCoy gleaned all hecould from the-retired-at-the-moment Favre, who won aSuper Bowl with Holmgrenin 1996.

Since I couldnt getcoached, it was a great oppor-tunity to pick the brain of aguy who played in the systemfor 20 years, McCoy saidthrough a team spokesman.It was a chance for me to geta lot of questions answered.We worked on footwork, pro-gressions, reads and thingslike that. It was definitely apositive trip.

McCoy is expected tooffer more on the Favre visittoday.

Shurmur was encouragedby McCoys first outing inthe passer friendly system thefirst-year coach brought fromSt. Louis, where he taught

it to Rams quarterback SamBradford. Shurmur knowsit can work and is pleasedwith how quickly McCoyhas picked it up in trainingcamp.

He was efficient,Shurmur said after Mondays

practice. Hesaw whatwas goingon extremelywell. He waspretty accu-rate with histhrows andpretty solid

with his deci-sion making.But again, once you havewhat would be considered asolid performance, then itsall about consistency and hewas right back on the stickthis morning, getting better atsome things.

McCoy will get a chanceto build off his impressivedebut on Friday, when theBrowns host Detroit.

After dissecting thePackers, who were with-out star cornerback CharlesWoodson and are currentlythin in the secondary, McCoywas careful not to make too

much of his strong game. Healso made sure he spread thepraise around to his team-mates.

As for his progress dur-ing the game, McCoy showedhes able to make the Xs andOs in Shurmurs playbookspring to life.

McCoy certainly madea strong impression on thePackers.

You can tell he definitelystudied us some, nose tack-le B.J. Raji said. They didsome things as far as gettinghim on the move and rolloutsand quick West Coast stuff toget his confidence up there.And he did a good job andmade the right decisions.

Raji believes McCoy hasall the skills to win as a pro.

The Browns are countingon it.

Notes: RB Montario Hardestyparticipated in contact drills for thefirst time in more than two weeks.The Browns have been taking itslow with the second-year back,

who is coming back from knee sur-gery. Shurmur wouldnt commit onHardesty facing the Lions. ... TheBrowns placed OG Billy Yates onthe reserve/retired list. The versatile9-year veteran showed up Mondayand told a surprised Shurmur he wasdone. Yates started three games lastseason. He does not count towardsthe clubs 90-man roster limit. ...Safety T.J. Ward didnt practicebecause of an issue with his tooth. ...WR Mohamed Massaquoi is finallyout of the walking boot. Massaquoihasnt practiced because of a leginjury but hes getting closer. ... LBsScott Fujita (thigh), Chris Gocong(neck), TE Ben Watson and S UsamaYoung didnt practice. ... FormerPackers general manager Ron Wolfvisited Holmgren. ... The Brownshave been awarded defensive backBrett Johnson off waivers from theSeattle Seahawks. The club is thinin the secondary with rookie safetyEric Hagg scheduled for knee sur-gery Monday. Johnson was signedas an undrafted free agent by Buffalolast season. He also spent time withPhiladelphia and St. Louis but wasreleased before the start of the regu-lar season. He was signed to theBills practice squad on Dec. 22 andspent the rest of the season there. The6-1, 194-pound Johnson played incollege at California.

With advice from Favre,

McCoy dazzles for Browns

By JOHN KEKISThe Associated Press

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. MarcosAmbrose missed his daughters first dayof school. She probably wont mind.

The snakebitten Ambrose, deprivedmore than once of a NASCAR victory,beat Brad Keselowski and Kyle Buschon a 2-lap dash to the checkered flagMonday to win the rain-delayed SprintCup race at Watkins Glen International.

It was his first victory in 105 starts inNASCARs top series and atoned for aslip-up a year ago on the road course atSonoma, when he stalled his car undercaution while leading with six laps to goand finished sixth.

Ive tried for 2 1/2 years, Ambrosesaid. Were going to onward and upwardfrom here. Its a proud day.

Ambrose has won all three Nationwideraces hes entered at Watkins Glen; inthree Cup starts here, hes notched onesecond and two thirds, including animpressive drive from last to third in2008.

Finally pulling into Victory Lane wasa feeling like no other.

This is almost surreal, the affableAustralian said in his No. 9 Ford forRichard Petty Motorsports after crossingthe finish line.

Ambrose signed a multi-year dealwith struggling RPM a year ago to drivethe No. 9 this season. That capped atumultuous summer in which he optedto leave the No. 47 at JTG DaughertyRacing at the end of 2010 with one yearleft on his contract, even though he knewhe was taking a big risk in difficult eco-nomic times.

There were days, weeks when I wasanxious, Ambrose said. There weretimes I was sitting around the boardroomtable and there was nobody else there.But youve got to roll the dice some-times.

It was Fords first victory at WatkinsGlen since Geoff Bodine won here in1996 and the 15th different winner inCup races this year.

Busch, trying to win a second time

from the pole at Watkins Glen, led thefield to the green flag for the final twolaps. But Keselowski, racing with a bro-ken left ankle and trying for his secondstraight win and third of the season, dovefrom third to the lead entering the firstturn with Ambrose also streaking pastBusch.

Those guys didnt care to give meany room, said Busch, who finishedsecond to brother Kurt here in SaturdaysNationwide race. Theres only one cor-ner youve got to make and as soon asyou make it through that corner and cankeep everybody behind, its smooth sail-ing from there.

Ambrose then closed on Keselowskiin the chicane after zooming through thehigh-speed esses and passed him for thelead before the final lap.

I wanted to win, said Keselowski,who has the first wild card for the Chaseand moved up four spots in the standingsto 14th. We had a shot at it and thats allyou can ask as a driver.

Busch finished third, and MartinTruex Jr. and Joey Logano rounded outthe top five.

Kevin Harvick was sixth, followedby defending race winner Juan PabloMontoya, AJ Allmendinger, Jeff Burtonand Jimmie Johnson.

Kurt Busch, who won at Sonoma inJune, crashed early and finished 38th. Hewasnt alone: Denny Hamlin, who enteredthe day 11th in points, also crashed andfinished 36th; 5-time Watkins Glen win-ner Tony Stewart, who ran up front allrace, was taken out on the final lap inthe chicane and finished 27th; and Paul

Menard, also in the hunt for a spot in theChase, brought out the race-changingcaution when he crashed on the 86th lapand finished 32nd.

The top 10 drivers in the standingsand the two drivers with the most victo-ries in 11th to 20th place earn spots forthe 10-race Chase.

Keselowski never got the chance to

challenge for the win on the final lap.The race ended with a caution as DavidReutimann and David Ragan crashedviolently entering the second turn, withRagan slamming head-on into the guardrail and Reutimanns car bouncing hardoff the barrier and sliding upside downacross the track.

Ambrose was on a conservativepit strategy all day despite threaten-ing weather the race was postponedby rain Sunday and more was in theforecast. He passed Truex for third onturn one, a 90-degree right-hander, oflap 73 and moved up to the bumper ofKeselowski.

Ambrose then outbraked Keselowskigoing into the first turn on lap 76 and sethis sights on Busch. He moved withinthree car lengths on lap 80 as the twoencountered lapped traffic and closed toBuschs back bumper in the chicane witheight laps to go.

Ambrose got the chance he wantedwhen Menard, running 14th, blew a tireand crashed on lap 86, bringing out thefinal caution.

That set up the frantic dash to the fin-ish of what turned into a 92-lap race andspoiled the day for Kyle Busch, who led49 laps. He was in the catbird seat for 18straight circuits when Menard crashed.

The last couple of laps I was gettingaway from him (Ambrose), said Busch,who moved into a tie with Carl Edwardsfor the top spot in the standings. The lastthing I wanted to see was a caution knew it was going to come down to onecorner and I messed up.

Hamlin brought out the third cautionof the race on lap 67 when he zoomed athigh speed straight through the first turnand slammed head-on into the tire barrierthat borders the paved runout area.

Hamlin, who started at the rear of thefield after a crash in qualifying and wasall the way up to 11th, was not injured.But the stoppage jumbled the runningorder as Jeff Gordon gave up the lead topit for the final time, giving Kyle Buschthe lead again with Keselowski alongsidehim in the front row and Ambrose andMontoya in the third row.
