Boater drowns at Indian Lake RUSSELLS POINT — A boater drowned Wednesday afternoon on Indian Lake in Logan County, according to WDTN, news partner of the Sidney Daily News.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources says two men were boating on the popular lake when the boat had engine trouble.

One of the men jumped in the water to check the engine, but never resurfaced.

Rescuers were called in to help save the man. He was rushed to Mary Rutan Hospital in Bellefontaine where he was pronounced dead.

The victim’s name has not been released.

The investigation continues.

IN THIS photo taken Sunday and provided by Great Lakes Exploration Group, diver Jim Nowka of Great Lakes Exploration Group inspects a wooden beam extending from the floor of Lake Michigan that experts believe may be part of the Griffin, a ship that sank in 1679. A wooden beam that has long been the focus of the search for a 17th century shipwreck in northern Lake Michigan was not attached to a buried vessel as searchers had suspected, but still may have come from the elusive Griffin or some other ship, archaeologists said Wednesday.

Wooden beam could be part of shipwreck FAIRPORT, Mich.

(AP) — A wooden beam that has long been the focus of the search for a 17th century shipwreck in northern Lake Michigan was not attached to a buried vessel as searchers had suspected, but still may have come from the elusive Griffin or some other ship, archaeologists said Wednesday.

Shipwreck hunter Steve Libert discovered a 10.5-foot section of the timber jutting from the lake bed twelve years ago in an area where he was convinced that the Griffin, commanded by the French explorer Rene Robert Cavelier de la Salle, sank in 1679.

French experts who inspected the beam in recent days said it appeared to be a bowsprit — a spur or pole that extends from a vessel’s stem — that was hundreds of years old.

Crews have been digging since last week beside the timber, where sonar readings indicated that one or more objects that together exceeded 40 feet long were submerged in mud. Libert and other expedition leaders believed they might be the hull of the Griffin, and that the excavation would find a connection between it and the presumed

bowsprit.

But on Tuesday, as a diver was widening the pit, the timber began wobbling. Archaeologists and leaders of Libert’s Great Lakes Exploration Group decided to take it down instead of trying to stabilize it, fearing it was a safety risk. So the diver eased it to the lake bed after checking beneath and discovering that it wasn’t attached to another object, but simply had been embedded in the tightly packed sediments.

Even though no other wreckage was found, project manager Ken Vrana said there’s still a chance the ship is nearby. With the timber no longer in place, crews stepped up their dredging operation in hopes of reaching a hard surface that a probing device has indicated is 18 to 20 feet down.

“It could be that the ship is very close to this area, but it is impossible to say for sure at this point,” said Michel L’Hour, director of France’s Department of Underwater Archaeological Research and a shipwreck expert.

Members of the expedition team pointed to other hopeful signs: The bottom of the timber was cut at an angle suggesting it might have been fashioned to fit into another structure; and the timber’s full length proved to be just over 19 feet, similar to that of bowsprits on other

French vessels from La Salle’s era. The upper end is tapered, and a series of fastening pegs are attached to the side.

After consulting by telephone with state archeologist Dean Anthe group derson, planned to leave the timber in the lake for now — wrapped in protective cloth and hidden to shield it from theft, vandalism or accidental damage from contact with objects such as boat anchors.

Putting it back where searchers found it wasn’t an option because it might slide further into the hole. It might eventually be hauled to shore and put on display, but that would require expensive treatment to prevent deterioration.

“Any time you bring a water-logged item off the lake bottom, it would be a complicated and difficult process,” Anderson told The Associated Press in a phone interview. “In this case, I don’t think we know what this piece is. We would need a lot more information about it before anyone would consider bringing it up. Leaving it down there is a good solution.”

Anderson’s office has the ultimate say because the state asserts jurisdiction over Michigan’s Great Lakes bottomlands — including shipwrecks, although officials have acknowledged that if the Griffin is found, it will belong to France.

Picturesque village on endangered places list CINCINNATI (AP) — A national group on Wednesday named a picturesque Ohio village as one of the nation’s most endangered historic places and is calling on state authorities to scrap a transportation plan that village leaders and preservationists say could permanently scar the area.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation named the Village of Mariemont among 11 endangered sites in the U.S. on its annual list, calling it a “uniquely idyllic American community” being threatened by an Ohio Department of Transportation plan that could put a highway in the area.

Among other sites on the list are Houston’s Astrodome, under threat of demolition, and the first lighthouse built on Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts.

With 3,400 residents, the Village of Mariemont is a quiet hamlet just 10 miles from downtown Cincinnati filled with Tudor-style architecture and centered around a charming town square, making it feel more like an English village than an Ohio suburb.

The village has been designated as a national historic landmark and has been named one of the best neighborhoods in America by the American Planning Association.

Prison time for woman who buried mom in yard COLUMBUS (AP) — Authorities say an Ohio woman who buried her mother in her yard and cashed the dead woman’s Social Security checks for 14 years has been sentenced to 30 days in prison.

Federal authorities say 66-year-old Marietta resident Patricia Hodges also was sentenced Wednesday in Columbus to six months of home confinement and ordered to repay more than $141,000. Hodges had pleaded guilty to theft of government money for cashing Janet Kelly’s checks.

Social Security officials say Hodges told them in 2011 her mother was on a cruise. Authorities found Kelly had died in 1997 and Hodges buried her in the backyard of the Lake Worth, Fla., home where they had lived.

Prosecutors say Hodges admitted concealing her mother’s death to collect benefits.

Hodges’ attorney hasn’t returned a call seeking comment.

Cat nurses pit bull puppy CLEVELAND (AP) — A cat caring for four newborn kittens is nursing an orphaned week-old pit bull puppy in Cleveland.

Sharon Harvey of the Cleveland Animal Protective League said Wednesday that Lurlene the cat welcomed Noland the puppy to her “unusual little family.” The puppy was dropped off at the animal shelter last week when he was a day old.

The staff decided to place Noland with the nursing cat and her litter because bottle feeding doesn’t always work.

The puppy will grow faster, so the shelter says it may have to come up with another feeding idea in several weeks until Noland is ready for adoption.

Yacht blocks highway COLUMBUS (AP) — A large yacht has caused a traffic commotion on land, blocking part of a central Ohio highway during the evening rush hour.

A tractor-trailer carrying the white boat on Interstate 270 was unable to fit beneath an overpass Wednesday and had to be turned around on the highway, which encircles Columbus. Police temporarily blocked part of northbound I-270 on the city’s east side so that the tractor-trailer could travel the wrong way on the interstate and exit.

CLEVELAND (AP) — A mentally disabled mother authorities said was enslaved for two years along with her daughter spent time in jail this year after pleading guilty to beating the girl, but her attorney told a judge that her captors forced her to do it.

Court records show that a child endangering complaint was filed against the woman in October 2012 just a day after she was charged with shoplifting and asked to be jailed because three people had been mean to her.

Beginning in early 2011, the three suspects forced the mother to cooperate with them by threats and physical abuse, federal prosecutors said. The woman told authorities she was forced to do housework by the three, who she said raided her bank account and menaced her with snakes and pit bulls.

The woman and her daughter were freed in October after police investigated an abuse allegation one of the suspects made against her.

Police checking into her “mean” claim went to an apartment after one of the suspects said it was the woman who was abusive.

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Thursday, June 20, the 171st day of 2013.

There are 194 days left in the year. Summer arrives at 10:04 p.m. Pacific time (Friday 1:04 a.m. Eastern time).

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 20, 1863, West Virginia became the 35th state.

On this date: • In 1782, Congress approved the Great Seal of the United States, featuring the emblem of the bald eagle.

• In 1791, King Louis XVI of France and his family attempted to flee the country in the so-called Flight to Varennes but were caught.

• In 1837, Queen Victoria acceded to the British throne following the death of her uncle, King William IV. • In 1893, a jury in New Bedford, Mass., found Lizzie Borden not guilty of the ax murders of her father and stepmother.

• In 1921, U.S. Rep. Alice Mary Robertson, ROkla., became the first woman to preside over a session of the House of Representatives.

• In 1943, race-related rioting erupted in Detroit; federal troops were sent in two days later to quell the violence that resulted in more than 30 deaths.

• In 1947, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel was shot dead at the Beverly Hills, Calif., mansion of his girlfriend, Virginia Hill, apparently at the order of mob associates.

• In 1963, the United States and Soviet Union signed an agreement to set up a “hot line” between the two superpowers.

• In 1967, boxer Muhammad Ali was convicted in Houston of violating Selective Service laws by refusing to be drafted.

(Ali’s conviction was ultimately overturned by the Supreme Court).

• In 1972, three days after the arrest of the Watergate burglars, President Richard Nixon met at the White House with his chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman; the secretly made tape recording of this meeting ended up with the notorious 18-minute gap.

• In 1982, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed National Bald Eagle Day. • In 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled, 6-3, in Atkins v. Virginia that executing mentally disabled murderers was unconstitutionally cruel.

Ten years ago: Secretary of State Colin Powell met separately with the leaders of Israel and the Palestinian Authority, praising the Israelis for efforts toward an eventual peace settlement and urging speed on the Palestinians.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Gopher feet stolen PRESTON, Minn. (AP) — A Minnesota mother and her 18-year-old son are accused of stealing nearly $5,000 in frozen gopher feet and selling them for a bounty.

Thirty-seven-year-old Tina Marie Garrison and Junior Lee Dillon, both of Preston, were charged last month with receiving stolen property and theft. They allegedly gave the feet to local townships that offer rewards as they try to limit the gopher population.

Garrison has pleaded not guilty. Her son has a hearing next month.

The complaint says a gopher trapper reported to authorities that bags of feet were stolen from his freezer.

According to the complaint, the owner found Dillon had turned in $1,014 in feet in November. In December, Garrison turned in $3,780 in feet.

U.S. tries saving Taliban talks KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Hopes dimmed for talks aimed at ending the Afghan war when an angry President Hamid Karzai on Wednesday suspended security negotiations with the U.S. and scuttled a peace delegation to the Taliban, sending American officials scrambling to preserve the possibility of dialogue with the militants.

What provoked the mercurial Karzai and infuriated many other Afghans was a move by the Taliban to cast their new office in the Gulf nation of Qatar as a rival embassy. The Taliban held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday in which they hoisted their flag and a banner with the name they used while in power more than a decade ago: “Political Office of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.”

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry spoke with Karzai on the phone, telling him that his concerns were justified and that he would work to resolve the issue.

An American official, speaking anonymously because he was not authorized to disclose the information, said he still expects to have the first public meeting with Taliban representatives in the next few days in Qatar but that no exact meeting date has been set.

Nevertheless, the militants’ attempt at a publicity coup clearly played to

‘Sopranos’ boss dies LOS ANGELES (AP) — James Gandolfini, whose portrayal of a brutal, emotionally delicate mob boss in HBO’s “The Sopranos” helped create one of TV’s g r e a t e s t drama series and turned the mobster Gandolfini stereotype on its head, died Wednesday in Italy. He was 51.

In a statement, the cable channel, and Gandolfini’s managers Mark Armstrong and Nancy Sanders, said he died Wednesday while on holiday in Rome. No cause of death was given.

“Our hearts are shattered and we will miss him deeply.

He and his family were part of our family for many years and we are all grieving,” said Armstrong and Sanders.

HBO called the actor a “special man, a great talent, but more importantly a gen-

tle and loving person who treated everyone, no matter their title or position, with equal respect.” The channel expressed sympathy for his wife and children.

Gandolfini played mob boss Tony Soprano in the groundbreaking HBO series that aired from 1999 to 2007.

His film credits included “Zero Dark Thirty” and “Killing Them Softly,” and he amassed stage credits as well.

He shared a Broadway stage in 2009 with Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis and Marcia Gay Harden in a celebrated production of “God of Carnage,” where he earned a Tony Award nomination for best actor. He had also been in “On the Waterfront” with David Morse and was an understudy in a revival of “A Streetcar Named Desire” in 1992 starring Alec Baldwin and Jessica Lange.

Gandolfini’s performance in “The Sopranos” was indelible and career-making, but he refused to be stereo-

typed as the bulky mobster who was a therapy patient, family man and cold-blooded killer.

After the David Chase series concluded with its breathtaking blackout ending, Gandolfini’s varied film work included comedies such as “In the Loop,” a political satire, and the heartwarming drama “Welcome to the Rileys,” which costarred Kristen Stewart. He voiced the Wild Thing Carol in “Where the Wild Things Are.” In a December 2012 interview with The Associated Press, Gandolfini said he gravitated to acting as a release, a way to get rid of anger. “I don’t know what exactly I was angry about,” he said.

“I try to avoid certain things and certain kinds of violence at this point,” he said last year. “I’m getting older, too. I don’t want to be beating people up as much. I don’t want to be beating women up and those kinds of things that much anymore.”

Former TWA Flight 800 investigators want new probe MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) — Former investigators are pushing to reopen the probe into the 1996 crash of TWA Flight 800, saying new evidence points to the often-discounted theory that a missile strike may have downed the jumbo jet.

The New York-to-Paris flight crashed July 17, 1996, minutes after it took off from John F. Kennedy International Airport, killing all 230 people aboard.

The effort to reopen the probe is being made in tandem with the release next month of a documentary that features the testimony of former investigators who raise doubts about the National Transportation Safety Board’s conclusion that the crash was caused by a center fuel tank explosion, probably caused by a spark from a short-circuit in the wiring.

“We don’t know who fired the missile,” said Jim Speer, an accident investigator for the Air Line Pilots Association, one of those seeking a new review of the probe. “But we have a lot more confidence that it was a missile.”

In a petition filed Wednesday seeking to reopen the probe, they say they have “re-

viewed the FAA radar evidence along with new evidence not available to the NTSB during the official investigation and contend that the NTSB’s probable cause determination is erroneous and should be reconsidered and modified accordingly.”

Those calling for a review of the investigation include former NTSB accident investigator Hank Hughes and Bob Young, a former senior accident investigator for the now-defunct TWA. Tom Stalcup, a physicist and co-founder of a group called Flight 800 Independent Researchers Organization, also questions the NTSB’s original findings and is featured prominently in the documentary, which is slated to air on the 17th anniversary of the crash next month.

The NTSB issued a statement Wednesday saying it was aware of the upcoming documentary.

“All petitions for reconsideration are thoroughly reviewed, and a determination is usually made within about 60 days,” spokeswoman Kelly Nantel said. “While the NTSB rarely re-investigates issues that have

already been examined, our investigations are never closed and we can review any new information not previously considered by the board.”

She noted the TWA Flight 800 investigation lasted four years.

“Investigators took great care reviewing, documenting and analyzing facts and data and held a five-day hearing to gather additional facts before determining the probable cause of the accident during a two-day board meeting.”

Robert Francis, the former vice chairman of the NTSB who headed the investigation, declined to comment.

Former FBI Assistant Director James Kallstrom, who headed the criminal probe after the crash, denied claims of a cover-up by the government, saying investigators “took very seriously the idea that a missile could have shot down the plane.”

Speaking on CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper,” Kallstrom said they “did an exhaustive investigation,” recovering 97 percent of the airplane from the Atlantic Ocean.

Fed suggests it’s closer to slowing bond purchases WASHINGTON (AP) — In a move that could send interest rates higher, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke ended weeks of speculation Wednesday by saying the Federal Reserve will likely slow its bond-buying program this year and end it next year because the economy is strengthening.

The Fed’s purchases of Treasury and mortgage bonds have helped keep long-term interest rates at record lows. A pullback in its extraordinary $85 billion-a-month program would likely mean higher rates on mortgages and other consumer and business loans.

Anticipating higher rates, investors reacted Wednesday by selling both stocks and bonds. The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 206 points. The yield on the 10year Treasury note rose to 2.35 percent. In early May, it was 1.63 percent.

Investors have been selling bonds and driving up yields since last month after vague signals from the Fed that higher long-term rates might be coming.

After a two-day policy meeting, the Fed upgraded its outlook for unemployment and economic growth. In a statement, the Fed said the “downside risks to the outlook” had diminished since fall. Fed members voted to continue the pace of the bond-buying program for now.

At a news conference afterward, Bernanke said the Fed would slow its bond buying later this year as long as the economy sustained its improvement.

He said the pullback in purchases would occur in “measured steps” and could end by the middle of 2014. By then, he thinks unemployment will be around 7 percent.

Asked why the Fed’s statement made no mention of scaling back the bond purchases, Bernanke said he had been “deputized” to clarify the Fed’s policy and how it might vary depending on the economy’s health.

He likened any reduction in the Fed’s bond purchases to a driver letting up on a gas pedal rather than applying the brakes. He stressed that even after the Fed ends its bond purchases, it will continue to maintain its vast investment portfolio, which will help keep long-term rates down.

COLUMBUS — More than 170 Ohioans died in 2012 when a lifesaving organ could not be found in time for transplant.

Wilson Memorial Hospital was recently recognized by Donate Life Ohio, the Ohio Hospital Association (OHA) and the Ohio Department of Health’s Second Chance Trust Fund for taking action to reduce that number during 2013. The hospital was named a Gold Partner in the Small Hospital category of the Hospital 2012-2013 Champions program, aimed at increasing organ, eye and tissue donor registration. Wilson Memorial and 56 other Ohio hospitals were recognized during the 2013 OHA Annual Meeting.

“Currently, more than 118,000 people nationwide – more than 3,400 of them from Ohio – await a lifesaving organ transplant,” said Dr. Ted Wymyslo, director of the Ohio Department of Health. “By registering new donors and sharing this lifesaving message through the Hospital Champions program, Wilson Memorial is saving lives and helping to reduce the time critically ill patients must wait for a second chance at life.”

Wilson Memorial hosted registration events, raised public awareness and spread the lifesaving message of donation throughout the community.

“We took advantage of every opportunity we had to share information, register new donors and provide information about organ, eye and tissue donation,” said Margo O’Leary, Wilson Memorial’s director of marketing and public relations. “The more times people hear our message, the more likely they are to take action and become a registered donor.”

The lack of registered donors in America results in a tragic loss of life every day, but there is a known solution.

“By registering as a donor, you have the unique opportunity to give hope to the 3,400 Ohioans awaiting life-saving transplants,” said Tom Boecker, president and CEO of Wilson Memorial.

“The need is real and occurring in our very own community. Wilson Memorial is proud to be recognized as a Hospital Champion, but more importantly, we are proud to raise the level of awareness throughout our communities about this very important cause.”

“Today, we commend Wilson Memorial for their advocacy on behalf of donation and congratulate the organization for earning gold status in this statewide program,” said Mike Abrams, OHA president and CEO. “We are thrilled to have their return participation in the 2013-2014 program and look forward to working with the hospital to extend this important message in the year ahead.”

Parents also need to protect their children from contamination from worldliness.

Children should be protected from, not immersed in, continually changing secular humanism. They need to be protected from those forces which would introduce them to and indoctrinate them with ungodly precepts and encourage them to indulge carnality.

Too many schools today are indoctrinating children to challenge biblical values, to do whatever stimulates their senses, and to encourage everyone to live to satisfy their flesh, totally ignoring spirituality. They even provide children with birth control devices and teach them sexual practices, which encourage ungodly lifestyles.

queen and my community.”

The National Secular Society, which had lobbied for removing the reference to religion from the pledge, welcomed the news.

Campaigns manager Stephen Evans said it was a “hugely positive and welcome development” that would make the organization more inclusive and relevant.

Girlguiding is part of the global scouting movement established by Robert Baden-Powell. The World Organization of the Scout Movement now claims more than 30 million male and female members in 161 countries.

There have been controversies in other countries as well. In 2010, Canada’s Girl Guides changed their promise from a pledge to be true “to myself, my God and Canada” — or the alternative “myself, my faith and Canada” — to “myself, my beliefs and Canada.”

In America, the Girl Scouts have been entangled in the culture wars as far back as the 1970s, when some conservatives became irked by the prominence of feminists such as Betty Friedan in the organization’s leadership.

In 1993, Christian conservatives were angered when the Girl Scouts formalized a policy allowing girls to substitute another word for “God” — such as Allah or Buddha — in the Girl Scout promise that reads: “On my honor, I will try to serve God and my country.”

Best option I know that the best educational option for Christian parents today is the Christian school. I thank God that there are schools like Christian Academy to work with parents in bringing up their children in godly ways. And I am thankful for churches that help sponsor children there.

More churches need to help sponsor their children there.

Bringing up Christian children doesn’t just happen. It takes work. It takes a Christian community to bring up Christian children.

When that happens, we have a stronger society and we will reap longrange benefits that will make our world better than we could ever imagine.

I was professionally trained to be a secular educator. I have earned associate’s, bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education. I know what is happening in secular education today. I have worked in education from elementary school through college levels.

My perspective is based on formal training and professional experience.

UK Girl Guides drop reference to God in pledge LONDON (AP) — Britain’s Girl Guides have dropped a reference to God in their pledge.

Gone is the reference to loving God, replaced by a call to “be true to myself and develop my beliefs.” The new pledge unveiled Wednesday does retain a reference to serving the queen.

The long established British scouting organization — officially named Girlguiding — says some 44,000 people responded to a call for consultations on the new pledge.

Chief Guide Gill Slocombe says she hopes the change will encourage more girls to join.

“We knew that some people found our Promise confusing on this point and that it discouraged some girls and volunteers from joining us,” she said. “We hope that the new wording will help us reach out to girls and women who might not have considered guiding before — so that even more girls can benefit from everything guiding can offer.”

The pledge was last changed in 1994.

The reference to God dates back to the founding of the Girl Guides in 1910.

Earlier changes had been designed to make the pledge acceptable to people of many faiths, and now it has been changed in a way designed to keep nonreligious girls (and their parents) from feeling excluded.

In another nod to changing times, the promise “to serve my queen and my country” has been altered to “serve the

marginal Christians have supported public education and given them a blank check to do whatever they want to do in the name of secular enlightenment.

Too many professional educators are unaware of the spiritual consequences of children being moved through their schools today.

When the Lord brought me to Ohio about 25 years ago, he placed me in Sidney Christian School. I taught there and helped administer the school. I also have had experience in Christian schools in Dayton, Greenville and Lima. And I have had a Christian school at my church for those in my church who could not afford tuition at the Christian school.

Residents invited to weigh in on pool ordinance

BY KATHY LEESE ANNA — Anna officials want residents of the village to have a chance to speak out regarding amending an ordinance concerning the use of swimming pools on their property, including wading pools often used by small children.

Village Administrator Nancy Benroth said the issue of fencing needs to be addressed.

“The current ordinance requires fencing for all pools,” Benroth said. “With people having temporary pools, they may have one this year but not the next and don’t feel they need to install a permanent structure such as a fence. Swimming pools also include wading pools at this time.

“With the summer season here, we would like to get the information out about the possible change, but would like to hear any concerns from residents before we do so. We would like to pass it (amended ordinance) after two read-

HONOR

ings as an emergency, so it will be effective soon.”

The amendment states that swimming pools affected include “any structure constructed or placed below or above ground which contains water in excess of 24 inches and is suitable and utilized for swimming.” The amendment will also include wading pools.

Benroth stated that the issue came up after citizens expressed concerns “about neighbors having the bigger, blue, air-filled pools that are about 4 feet high. They were concerned about drowning and if fencing was required. Letters were sent to all residents that had temporary (or) storable pools about complying with the fencing issue. Permanent pools have always required a fence.

“Needless to say, some of these owners have had their pools for four or five years and a fence was never required. They all stated that when not in use, they remove the ladders and could not see

going to the expense of erecting costly fences. I then decided that since there (were) concerns from both sides, the matter should be discussed by the Planning Commission and they recommended it be brought to council and council recommended that the public be made aware of it before any changes took place.”

The first reading on the amendment took place June 11, “but the residents weren’t fully aware of it, so the next meeting is scheduled for June 25 at 7 p.m. and we’d like to get the word out for any to express their opinion.”

If the ordinance is passed, residents with a pool will be required to have a 6-foot fence and follow the fencing zoning, Benroth stated.

“Fences and pools will require a permit,” Benroth noted, and while storable or temporary pools will not require a permit, the owners of temporary or storable pools “must contact the (village) office with a

written statement on how they plan on securing their pool when not in use. These will be kept on file for each pool owner.”

Benroth, who is also the zoning administrator for the village, will be going around the village to make sure that local residents are in compliance with the ordinance, if it passes. There will also be a penalty for those who violate the ordinance.

“Any zoning code violation has a penalty of a fine not more than $500 or 30 days in jail or both.

Each day constitutes a separate violation,” she said.

Residents are being encouraged to attend the next Village Council meeting scheduled for Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Village Hall if they have concerns or want to express their opinion about the proposed amendment to the ordinance. Council is expected to vote on the ordinance that night after hearing from village residents.

CAROL JONES, of Botkins, leads a Move-n-Groove class at the Senior Center of Sidney and Shelby County recently. Jones was surprised with a gift of Shelby County Transit tokens from Comfort Keepers. She is visually impaired and relies on the transit system to get to the center for the classes twice each week. According to Lisa Hube-Grimes, of Comfort Keepers, a Comfort Keepers client had bequested an amount in her will to benefit senior citizens.

Grimes and Senior Center Director Eileen Wiseman decided to use the funds to assist Jones.

Center changes hours for summer The Senior Center board voted during its June 7 meeting to change open hours at the center, 301 S. West Ave., from July 1 though Sept. 30.

It was reported that 200 people attend Senior Day; Kenlei Immel and Riley Rosengarten have been hired to teach aqua aerobics; exercise equipment has been donated by Doug and Vicki Peltier and moved at no charge by Hughes; a record number, 86, people participated in the latest blood donation drive; Rhonda Keister has replaced John Laws on the Senior Center Foundation board; and the following people have been appointed to committees:

DAYTON — Seniors across the Miami Valley are being targeted by robotic callers offering free medical alert systems.

In fact, one Dayton Better Business Bureau (BBB) staffer’s family has received three of these calls in two weeks.

The robocalls take advantage of a famous brand name, “MedicAlert.”

At first, the call seems to be from a very friendly, conversational gentleman. But, as the call continues, recipients realize it’s a recording.

The call claims everything is paid for and the call is to confirm shipping instruction. The callers say those they are calling have been recommended for the product by a family or relative. friend They’re encouraged to press a button to accept the offer.

It’s reported after a consumer presses a button to accept the offer, they quickly receive another call asking for personal information, including credit card numbers.

Consumers have reported several different options with these phone calls. In some instances,

“. . . hang up the phone!”

John North President/CEO, Dayton Better Business Bureau the prerecorded voice asks the consumer to press 1 to accept; in other cases, to press 5.

Consumers in other parts of the country have reported receiving calls from customer service representatives that give the same offer, but hang up the phone when questioned about its validity.

No matter what option is offered, the Better Business Bureau warns seniors to hang up the phone.

Some BBBs claim this company says it’s associated with the American Heart Association or American Senior Benefits, but it isn’t connected to these organizations.

Some consumers told the Dayton BBB that they have accepted the free monitoring system only to find out later they’ve been registered into a service with fees of up to $400 a year.

A Miamisburg man said that when he answered the call, it was a recording from a man claiming to be named John, saying the call recipient had a Medic Alert-style home-monitoring system that’s “pre-paid and scheduled for delivery.”

The Miamisburg man said, “The message is designed to convince you that you ordered it, you just have to schedule the delivery . . . It is obviously a scam to prey on helpless seniors.”

John North, president and CEO of the BBB serving Dayton and the Miami Valley, said, “These calls are misleading and leave people vulnerable to identity theft.

Never give out personal information to unfamiliar companies calling you out of the blue. If an offer sounds to good to be true, hang up the phone.

“If you’re interested in pursuing the offer, do your homework and check out the business making the offer. One way to do so is by contacting your Better Business Bureau. You can check out businesses by visiting www.bbb.org or calling (800) 776-5301.”

Jokes, music and ice cream Spittin’ Image and Joy Mader perform for residents of Versailles Health Care Center during a recent Mother’s Day/Father’s Day ice cream social.

Mom wins as choice for housemate HOLLY SPRINGS, N.C. — Folks write poems about Mom, name their kids after her and even sport tattoos praising her glory — and now the results of a new national survey should make moms feel even more special.

The national poll, commissioned by Visiting Angels, one of the nation’s largest in-home senior care companies, reveals 70 percent of adult children do not want their parents moving in with them. But if they had to choose, 67 percent (2 out of 3) would overwhelmingly choose to move in their mom over their dad.

The poll surveyed more than 1,100 adults, 40 and older with both living parents.

Why move in Mom over Dad? Most say Mom would: • Help more than Dad with cooking and cleaning (86 percent).

• Help more than Dad with the kids (79 percent).

• Be neater (73 percent).

• Be a better listener (64 percent).

Most say Dad: • Has worse hygiene than Mom (75 percent).

• Is more likely than

Mom to say inappropriate things (75 percent).

• Is sloppier than Mom (70 percent).

• Is lazier than Mom (68 percent).

• Would want to control the TV more than Mom (69 percent).

Fear Factor When asked what they fear about one or both parents moving in, respondents say: • Not enough room (55 percent).

• Lack of privacy (49 percent).

• It would cause conflict (46 percent).

• They fear they’d have less intimacy/sex with partner (21percent).

There’s no place like home Forty-one percent say they would prefer their parents remain in their own homes with caregivers, over moving them into their homes (31 percent) or moving them to assisted living facilities (17percent) or nursing homes (2 percent). More than half (58 percent) believe their aging parents would prefer to stay in their own homes.

Money motivator?

Two-thirds (66 percent) of those polled say they cannot afford to

move their parents in with them. Yet more than half (51 percent) say they would move them in anyway.

And here’s some heartwarming news: 85 percent say money is no motivator — that they would not be more inclined to move parents in if they got more of the inheritance. And more than 3/4 of those polled (76 percent) say they would pay out of their own pockets if their parents needed care.

Where’s the plan?

The survey reveals children mean to do well by their parents, though many have no game plan whatsoever.

Almost 3/4 of respondents (72 percent) say they don’t have a plan for how they’ll care for their aging parents. More than half (54 percent) say they haven’t even had a conversation with their parents about the type of care they want as they age.

Who should take care of Mom and Dad? Respondents say this question could cause a family feud. Forty-six percent predict some kind of conflict when deciding how to care for aging parents. Twenty-eight percent expect conflict with a

parent; 25 percent, with a sibling and 11 percent, with a spouse or significant other.

So who bears the most responsibility for aging parents?

Thirty-two percent say the child that lives closest, 27 percent say the child with the least responsibility, i.e., no spouse or children, 19 percent say the child with the most money and, surprisingly, only 3 percent said the child who got the most growing up.

“There can be a lot of conflict in families over how to care for aging parents. Part of the problem is that most families decide about their parents’ care in crisis when it’s too late; emotions take over and it’s difficult to think logically and clearly,” said Larry Meigs, CEO of Visiting Angels. “You need to meet now with your parents and siblings to decide on a solution that appeals to everyone involved.”

This online survey was done by a third party and commissioned by Visiting Angels. Survey participants had no affiliation with Visiting Angels.

The survey included 1,118 respondents: 776 women, 342 men.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Fasten your seatbelts, because it's a busy month ahead. Short trips, conversations with people, errands plus increased reading and writing will keep you hopping!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your focus is turning to money, earnings, possessions and even your selfimage. Naturally, you need enough money to survive -- hopefully, comfortably.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Sun is in your sign for the next month, attracting people and favorable circumstances to you. This is your turn to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. Ole! LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You're in the wings, waiting for something. This is the perfect time to think about what you want your new year (birthday to birthday) to be about.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Share your hopes and dreams for the future with others, because their feedback will help you. You might not think this until you hear what they have to say. Be receptive.

Heat force game 7 with 103-100 OT win

AP Photo/Greg Baker, File

IN THIS Jan. 12 file photo, Serena Williams answers a question during a press conference ahead of the Australian Open tennis championship in Melbourne, Australia. Williams says she’s reaching out to the family of the victim in the Steubenville rape case after the tennis star was quoted in a Rolling Stone article saying “she shouldn’t have put herself in that position.”

Williams sorry after rape case comments

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Serena Williams says she’s reaching out to the family of the victim in the Steubenville rape case after the tennis star was quoted in a Rolling Stone article saying “she shouldn’t have put herself in that position.”

“I am currently reaching out to the girl’s family to let her know that I am deeply sorry for what was written in the Rolling Stone article,” Williams said in a statement released through her agent Wednesday. “What was written — what I supposedly said — is insensitive and hurtful, and I by no means would say or insinuate that she was at all to blame.”

The comment was made in one paragraph of a lengthy story posted online Tuesday about Williams, a 16-time Grand Slam title winner who is ranked No. 1 heading into Wimbledon, which starts next week.

Two players from the Steubenville, Ohio, high school football team were convicted in March of raping a drunken 16-year-old girl; one of the boys was ordered to serve an additional year for photographing the girl naked.

The case gained widespread attention in part because of the callousness with which other students used social media to gossip about it.

“What happened in Steubenville was a real shock for me. I was deeply sad-

dened,” Williams said in the statement. “For someone to be raped, and at only sixteen, is such a horrible tragedy! For both families involved — that of the rape victim and of the accused.”

According to the Rolling Stone story, Williams says the perpetrators of the crime “did something stupid,” and she asks: “Do you think it was fair, what they got?”

She adds, “I’m not blaming the girl, but if you’re a 16year-old and you’re drunk like that, your parents should teach you: Don’t take drinks from other people.”

Williams also is quoted as saying: “… she shouldn’t have put herself in that position, unless they slipped her something, then that’s different.”

Williams is in England preparing for Wimbledon.

“I have fought all of my career for women’s equality, women’s equal rights, respect in their fields — anything I could do to support women I have done,” she said in the statement. “My prayers and support always goes out to the rape victim. In this case, most especially, to an innocent sixteen year old child.”

WTA CEO Stacey Allaster said the tour had been touch with Williams about the article.

“If she was accurately quoted, then Serena’s comments were both insensitive and wrong,” Allaster said in a statement. “We disagree with the statements and have made that clear to her.”

MIAMI (AP) — When LeBron James’ greatness almost wasn’t good enough, officials began preparing for a San Antonio celebration.

Miami’s championship reign would be over. Someone in Spurs black would replace James as NBA Finals MVP. James and the Heat wouldn’t let it happen.

“To be a part of something like this is something you would never be able to recreate once you’re done playing the game. And I’m blessed to be a part of something like this,” James said. “And I’m happy about the way we dug down and was able to get a win. It didn’t look like we could muster up at some point in the game.”

James powered Miami to a frantic fourth-quarter rally and overtime escape as the Heat beat the Spurs 103-100 on Tuesday night to extend the NBA Finals as far as they can go and keep Miami’s repeat chances alive.

Losing his headband but keeping his cool while playing the entire second half and overtime, James finished with 32 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, making the go-ahead basket with 1:43 remaining in the extra period.

“It’s by far the best game I’ve ever been a part of,” James said.

He wouldn’t let the Heat lose it — or their NBA title. If the Spurs want to take it, they’ll have to fight just a little harder to get it.

One last game, winner take all.

So close to being eliminated that they noticed officials bringing yellow tape out to block off the court for the Spurs’ trophy presentation, the Heat hit a couple of big 3pointers and got some defen-

sive stops — everything that makes a great team a champion.

“We seen the championship board already out there, the yellow tape. And you know, that’s why you play the game to the final buzzer,” James said. “And that’s what we did tonight. We gave it everything that we had and more.”

Tim Duncan scored 30 points for the Spurs, his most in an NBA Finals game since Game 1 in 2003, but was shut out after the third quarter. He added 17 rebounds.

Game 7 is in Miami on Thursday, the NBA’s first door-die matchup to crown a champion since the Lakers beat the Celtics in 2010.

“They’re the best two words in sports: Game 7,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

And two the Spurs were ohso-close to avoiding.

They looked headed to a fifth title in five chances when they built a 13-point lead with under 4 minutes left in the third quarter, then grabbed a five-point edge with 28 seconds left in regulation after blowing the lead.

But James hit a 3-pointer and Ray Allen tied it with another. Just 5.2 seconds remained in regulation. The Heat were that close to the edge.

“It’s a tough moment. We were a few seconds away from winning the championship and we let it go,” Spurs veteran Manu Ginobili said. “A couple rebounds we didn’t catch, a tough 3 by Ray and a couple missed free throws. It’s a very tough moment.”

James was just 3 of 12 after three quarters, the Heat trailing by 10 and frustration apparent among the players and panic setting in among the fans.

Nothing to worry about. Not with James playing like this.

He finished 11 of 26, even making a steal after his basket had given Miami a 101-100 edge in the OT. Somewhere in there, early in the fourth quarter, James lost his familiar headband. He couldn’t remember exactly when or how. Nor was it particularly important to him.

Losing the game would have been far worse.

“I guess the headband was the least of my worries at that point,” James said.

Before that, he had been 12 minutes from hearing the familiar criticisms about not being able to get it done, from having to watch a team celebrate on his home floor again.

Then he changed the game and erased that story.

The Heat, who haven’t lost consecutive games since Jan. 8 and 10, had too much defense and way too much James for the Spurs in the final 17 minutes. They are trying to become the fourth team to win the final two games at home since the NBA went to the 2-3-2 format for the finals in 1985.

This wasn’t quite the 45point performance in Game 6 of last year’s Eastern Conference finals in Boston, but given the higher stakes it may go down as more important — if the Heat follow it with another victory Thursday.

“He just made plays. I don’t think there’s any two ways to put it,” Duncan said. “We were in the right position to close it out and he found a way to put his team over the top and we just didn’t make enough plays to do that.”

Kawhi Leonard had 22 points and 11 rebounds for the Spurs. Tony Parker had 19 points and eight assists, but shot just 6 of 23 from the field.

Joe Torre’s daughter catches baby NEW YORK (AP) — The daughter of former New York Yankees manager Joe Torre made a quick-thinking save Wednesday when she caught a baby who had tumbled off of a second-floor Brooklyn apartment’s fire escape, the baseball great has confirmed.

“I am very proud of my daughter Cristina’s actions today during an incident in Brooklyn involving a small child,” said Torre, now Major League Baseball’s executive vice president of baseball operations, in a statement. “Fortunately for that child she was in the right place at the right time to lend a hand.”

Cristina Torre did not respond to a request for comment.

Police said a 44-year-old woman caught a 1-year-old boy after he fell from a fire escape outside a Brooklyn apartment building but

did not identify the bystander. They said the baby somehow climbed out of the apartment onto the fire escape and tumbled from above.

That’s when Torre caught the baby as she walked on the sidewalk below.

The baby is in stable condition, police said.

The baby’s parents — Sam Miller, 23, and Tiffany Demitro, 24 — were arrested and charged with reckless endangerment and acting in a manner injurious to a child less than 17, police said.

The parents were in custody and unavailable for comment Wednesday. It was not immediately known if they had an attorney.

Joe Torre managed the Yankees from 1996 to 2007, where he won four World Series titles and six American League pennants. He had a 29-year career as a manager.

Sidney American Legion Post 217’s Jacob Wenning (left) tags out Findlay’s Ross Adolph during an attempt to steal second at Custenborder Field Wednesday. Sidney won 4-3 in nine innings. Details of the game will appear in Friday’s newspaper.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Justin Masterson managed to hang around for 6 1-3 innings and win for the sixth time at home, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 6-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night.

Masterson (9-5) sidestepped some early trouble without giving up any runs and improved to 6-1 with a 2.29 ERA in nine starts at Progressive Field. The righthander struck out eight while allowing two runs and nine hits.

Michael Brantley hit a pair of solo homers for the up-anddown Indians, who moved within 3 games of first-place Detroit in the AL Central.

Mike Aviles drove in two runs and Michael Bourn scored twice for Cleveland.

Unable to get a hit for four innings off Luis Mendoza (24), Brantley homered in the fifth and the Indians added three runs in the sixth.

Brantley connected again in the eighth.

Despite the loss, the Royals have won 11 of 15.

Masterson, as close to an ace as the Indians have in their rotation, is 5-0 in his last six starts at home and has won nine of his past 13 decisions in Cleveland.

It wasn’t a certainty he would survive the first few innings as the Royals put two runners on in the first and second but failed to score.

Kansas City stranded eight runners in the first five innings and Masterson got a big defensive play by first baseman Mark Reynolds to get out of a pickle in the fourth.

Masterson was lifted in the seventh, and although he was far from dominant, Indians fans gave him a warm ovation as he headed to the dugout.

Reds tied in 11th The Cincinnati Reds were tied 1-1 with the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 11th inning at press time.

wards had a difference of opinion on Sunday. When Edwards picked up debris on his grille with roughly 35 laps remaining, he hoped Biffle would drop back to help him “scrub” it off. The problem was that Biffle was leading the race by some 25 car lengths. “This is my chance to win today, right here, and the 48 (Jimmie Johnson) is coming,” Biffle said. “I didn’t feel like I could take that risk at that particular time.” On his in-car radio, an upset Edwards said of Biffle: “He ain’t our teammate.”

OVER BEFORE IT BEGAN Jeff Gordon 2 was swept up in a spin by Bobby Labonte and crashed out of the Quicken Loans 400 on lap 7 of the 200-mile event. “I’m a pretty patient person, but it’s testing my frustration level and my confidence — that is the biggest thing,” Gordon said of his recent bad luck. “We all know how big confidence is in this sport. I don’t want to see the team get down and I don’t want to see myself get down.” Gordon, who qualified 29th, was running 23rd when the accident occurred.

SPRINT CUP SERIES

Milestone in Michigan Greg Biffle scores fourth Michigan win, 1,000th NASCAR victory for Ford

By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor

At no point in the last decade has winning a Sprint Cup Series race at the Michigan International Speedway been of more importance in the NASCAR ranks. A renewed emphasis on “manufacturer” over “car number” or “driver” — largely at the behest of Chevrolet, Ford and Toyota, the Cup Series’ three auto makes — has placed a premium on home field bragging rights near America’s automotive capital.

On Sunday, Greg Biffle planted Ford’s flag in its home turf, winning the Quicken Loans 400 in Michigan, giving team owner Jack Roush his 13th career Cup win at MIS, the most all-time for any one organization.

Biffle held off a field of hungry Chevrolets, led late in the event

by Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Harvick, to capture his second straight and fourth career Michigan win. It was also Ford Motor Company’s 1,000th win across NASCAR’s Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series.

“I was really worried about the 48 (Johnson),” Biffle said. “He was really fast. But when this thing could get in clean air, it was all over.

“We’ve still got a little bit of work to do with these cars back in traffic but once we get out front, like at Pocono last week, we think we’re pretty good.”

Forty-seven of Biffle’s racehigh 48 laps led came with under 50 circuits to go in the 200-mile affair. Biffle’s No. 16, along with teammate Carl Edwards’ No. 99, occupied the top two spots with 34 laps to go and green flag pit stops on tap. Edwards hit pit road first, going one lap down prior to the field cycling through, while Biffle stopped two laps later. As Biffle’s crew completed service, Jamie McMurray blew out a right front tire, bringing out the day’s eighth and final caution.

Edwards found himself trapped in 24th, while Biffle — having completed his stops without yet dropping a lap to the field — inherited the lead.

His main competition — aside from the pole-sitter Edwards — came in the form of Johnson, who

led 18 laps throughout the day, but was regulated to 11th on what would be the final restart, a result of having the No. 48 crew top off the fuel tank on the final stop.

When the green flag waved with 27 laps remaining, Biffle quickly pulled away in clean air while Johnson began what appeared to be an unrelenting assault through the field. Within eight laps, the five-time champion was ensconced in third; nine laps later he occupied the runner-up slot.

However, Biffle held a stout 1.6-second lead at a track that places importance on track position — clean air allowing the leader to sprint away with an aerodynamic advantage. And with three circuits remaining, Johnson made the mistake that sealed his fate and Biffle’s win, brushing the wall in an effort to run down the leader. He was forced to pit road with heavy right-side damage.

Biffle coasted from there, easily outdistancing Harvick for a nearly three-second victory. Martin Truex Jr., Kyle Busch and Tony Stewart rounded out the top 5. Contenders Edwards and Johnson finished eighth and 28th, respectively.

“I hate missing an opportunity,” Johnson said. “I want those (Chase) bonus points for winning

The racing world competed with heavy hearts over the weekend, mourning the loss of Jason Leffler, who passed away following a sprint car accident at Bridgeport Speedway in New Jersey on June 12.

An autopsy found that the 37-year-old died from blunt force neck injury in the wreck.

Leffler made 73 Sprint Cup Series starts from 2001-2013. However, it was in the Nationwide Series where he found success in stock cars, registering two wins and 107 top 10s in 294 career starts. In full-season runs from 2007-11, Leffler finished ninth or better in the point standings each year, highlighted by a third-place showing in ’07 for Braun Racing.

His sole NASCAR start in 2013 was in the Cup Series at Pocono, where he Jason Leffler start-and-parked the No. 19 Humphrey Smith Racing car, finishing 43rd.

“LEFturn,” as he was known, enjoyed a stellar open wheel career. He was inducted to the National Midget Hall of Fame in 2003, having won four USAC championships — three consecutive midget titles from 1997-99 — and the USAC Silver

With Clint Bowyer and Kasey Kahne winning out there, it looks like it’s a dirttrack racers’ course now. The location is really cool and the atmosphere is very relaxed, probably the most relaxed we have all season.

races and feel like one got away from us today.”

Hendrick Motorsports once again seemed to be the organization to beat, as drivers Johnson, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kasey Kahne led for a total of 66 laps.

However, Kahne blew a right front tire while out front on lap 105, slamming the Turn 2 wall and ending his day. He finished 38th. Earnhardt was his typical strong Michigan self until the engine in his No. 88 let go while running second on lap 132.

“We actually improved the car on the last stop and I thought we were going to be able to give Jimmie a run,” said Earnhardt, who finished 37th. “He probably was the best car out there.”

Meanwhile, runner-up Harvick is quietly climbing his way through the point standings, having ascended from 12th to fourth in the last five races on the strength of five consecutive top 10s, including a victory in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

With 11 races remaining in the Cup Series’ 26-race regular season, Johnson holds a 31-point advantage over Edwards, Clint Bowyer (-49), Harvick (-62) and Matt Kenseth (-82) in the championship standings.

Leffler is survived by a son, Charlie Dean.

Hendrick Motorsports team owner Rick Hendrick told ESPN over the Michigan race weekend that new sponsorship is coming to Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s No. 88 Sprint Cup team.

The National Guard and Diet Mountain Dew/AMP Energy occupy the majority of real estate on Earnhardt’s car, however the sport’s most popular driver has primary space open for 13 races through the remainder of the 2013 season.

Hendrick would not comment on who the sponsor will be, only that it is new to NASCAR and signed for multiple years.

“I’ve not been worried about it because we could sell it if we wanted to ASP, Inc. piecemeal it,” Hendrick told The Charlotte Observer. “We’ve been looking for the future. We don’t want to get into (sponsor relationships) where you see somebody one time and you don’t see them anymore after that. I am very confident that in the next couple of weeks we should have not only this year (covered) but we should have a lot done for next year, too.”

Classic Moments Sonoma Raceway Long considered among the upper tier of Cup drivers, Kasey Kahne had rarely surfaced in discussions about the sport’s top road-course racers.

Then, seemingly out of the blue, Kahne showed the NASCAR world a skill that he possessed but had apparently done a good job of hiding.

Kahne, who had never finished better than 14th in 10 starts on the Cup Series’ two longtime road courses, won the 2009 Toyota-Save Mart 350 at the twisty, 1.99-mile Infineon Raceway in a dominating performance that, for the first time, made observers sit up and recognize the Enumclaw, Wash., native as more than an intermediatetrack ace.

The Richard Petty Motorsports driver led 37 of 113 laps to beat road-course aficionados Tony Stewart and Marcos Ambrose to the checkers and deliver the first victory in a decade for his legendary team owner, Richard Petty.

Petty, a seven-time champion and the sport’s all-time wins leader, retired from driving in 1992.

Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: With his performances picking up this year, it may be time to once again look Juan Pablo Montoya’s way at a track where he owns one win and four top 10s in six starts.

Pretty Solid Pick: Tony Stewart is suddenly on a tear, and Sonoma has been good to him (two wins, nine top 10s, 14 starts).

Good Sleeper Pick: Kurt Busch wheeled an underfunded, single-car operation to a third-place showing here last season.

Runs on Seven Cylinders: Quite a few, namely, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Matt Kenseth.

Insider Tip: Road races have taken the place of short tracks as the venues to beat and bang. Controlled aggression is the order of the day. Despite the aforementioned tips, beware of hot-headed wheelmen.

Kenny Jacobs was the first to do it (1998-2001), with Chad Kemenah stepping in the next four years (2002-2005).

However, unlike Jacobs and Kemenah, Shaffer has yet to capture an All Star Sprint win on the high banks of Eldora Speedway; something he hopes to correct Saturday night when the touring group tackles the .500-mile clay oval in leg No. 2 of Ohio’s 31st annual Sprint Week.

Shaffer currently trails three-time All Star Sprint champion Dale Blaney by a scant margin and remains winless on the 2013 season.

However, ‘the Steel City Outlaw’ from Aliquippa, PA isn’t overly concerned just yet. He was in a similar position last year at this time, before a mid-season surge helped to power him to the 2012 championship.

A Saturday victory could rekindle that surge.

Blaney, meanwhile, has captured two UNOH All Star wins this season and has a reached a comfort zone of sorts at Eldora. Nicknamed ‘the Low Rider’ by means of his driving style, Blaney is the most recent All Star Sprint Car winner at the historic speed plant, and has captured at least one feature win in each of the past three years that the touring group has visited. His total of six wins places him in a four-way tie for the most All Star wins at Eldora, while Jacobs sits comfortably atop that list with his 21 triumphs.

feature events this season at Eldora Speedway, the parity of competition is at a near record level. In the 23-year history of Modified racing on Eldora’s fabled .500-mile clay oval, that level of parity in early season competition has been reached seven other times, but only once has it reached five winners in five races – that was back in 1996.

A fresh 2013 face in victory lane Saturday night could tie that record.

Brian Post, of Middle captured his Point, first-ever Eldora triumph on opening night, to become the 59th driver in 236 feature chases to carry the checkered flag. His victory was followed by Jon Henry, of Ada, Jerry Bowersock, of Wapakoneta, and Brian Ruhlman, of Clarklake, Mich.

Joining the UMP DIRTcar Modified diviin Saturday’s sion tripleheader program will be the UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Cars in leg No. 2 of Ohio Sprint Week, and the Eldora Stock Cars.

Focus of Eldora turns to winged sprint cars

Following a highly successful Dirt Late Model Dream weekend that featured some of the most intense full-bodied racing ever seen on Eldora Speedway’s .500-mile clay oval, the focus shifts to high profile winged Sprint Car events.

Saturday’s invasion of the UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Cars will bright with it leg No. 2 of the 31st annual Ohio Sprint Week. With a grueling eight-race slate over a nine-day period throughout the Buckeye state, the Ohio Sprint Week got its start in 1983 and is Parity prevails revered within the Sprint Car world as over modified one of the most highly field anticipated events of With four different

Week kicking off Friday at Attica Raceway Park and then moving to nearby Waynesfield Raceway Park on Sunday, Eldora Speedway is offering free camping for the travelling race fans Friday and Saturday.

A three-week layoff follows the Sprint Week attack before Eldora’s annual chase for Sprint Car royalty takes center stage over the weekend of July 12 and 13.

The lucrative two-night stand kicks off July 12 with the Knight Before the Kings Royal and a full program of STP World of Outlaws Sprint Car racing.

That will serve as the final tune-up for the 30th annual Kings Royal and its traditional pomp and circumstance which include a seat atop the fabled throne, the crown and the $50,000 paycheck.

The all Sprint Car weekend includes the NRA Sprint Invaders each night as well.

Sprint Week invasion continues all star streak When the UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Cars tackle Eldora Speedway Saturday night it will continue an unrivaled streak on the renowned .500-mile high banked clay oval. It will mark the 132nd appearance of the travelling series at Eldora, the most of any facility along the All Star tour.

Dating back to the inaugural appearance on May 3, 1981, when Brad Doty powered to victory lane, 40 other drivers have registered Eldora victories over the 33-year period.

Kenny Jacobs carries a comfortable lead in the all-time win record with his 21 checkered flags.

His closest rivals on that list are Joey Saldana (11) along with Kevin Huntley and Jac Haudenschild each with 7.

Perez not ready to return yet CLEVELAND (AP) — Chris Perez isn’t ready to return to the mound for the Indians just yet.

Cleveland’s colorful closer, who has been dealing with personal issues off the field while recovering from a strained rotator cuff, will throw at least one more bullpen session and may make another rehab appear-

ance in the minor leagues before coming off the disabled list.

Perez, who has been sidelined since May 27, had expected to be activated on Friday. But after giving up five earned runs — three homers — during a shaky one-inning outing on Tuesday night at Double-A Akron against Trenton, the In-

dians won’t rush him back.

Perez said his mechanics were out of whack, and after striking out the first batter he faced on three pitches, he struggled badly.

“Location, velocity, everything,” he said Wednesday night before the Indians hosted the Kansas City Royals.

25 years June 20, 1988 Under normal conditions, making hay isn’t near the top of the list of Debora Vaubel’s favorite things to do as the wife of a dairy farmer. But this isn’t a normal year, so Mrs. Vaubel says she would love to be out in the field bringing in a bumper crop of hay if only it would rain to make the crop worth harvesting. John and Deboral Vaubel of Botkins are among the many dairy farmers in the Upper Miami Valley who are beginning to feel the squeeze of the drought which is shriveling up silage crops and stifling the growth of hay fields.

Vaubel has turned north to Canada for shipments of hay to replenish the supply he needs to feed a herd of 50 milk cows.

Grandpa seems to think

that booze and guns make him brave. A brave person is a military medic, a member of the U.S. Coast Guard and the thousands of first responders who demonstrate their bravery by saving human lives, not threatening them. In fact, many Medal of Honor recipients earn the award not by the number of enemies killed, but lives saved. — RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNER IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR RESPONSIBLE: I agree. Some readers felt I should have been tougher in my response, and that GunShy and her children should not visit Grandpa at all. Fail-

Readers let me have it with both barrels: DEAR ABBY: Your answer to “Gun-Shy” was off the mark!

As a vet and former law enforcement officer, I think the whole family is in “wimp” mode. For adults to watch a drunk adult fire a gun in the air around his family and not call 911 was ignorant and dangerous. ALL states have laws about firing guns in the air (illegal), firing guns while drunk (illegal), unsecured loaded weapons (illegal), and firing

guns around children in a home environment (illegal).

That jerk should have been arrested! — SMOKEY IN FLORIDA DEAR ABBY: Thank you for reminding your readers that when someone shoots a gun into the air, the bullet comes down somewhere.

A child near my hometown died last New Year’s Eve when she stepped outside with her grandmother to watch the fireworks and a bullet fell to earth and lodged in her brain. The police believe the gun may have been fired from a few miles away. — CHRISTINA IN MARYLAND

COMPOSER

“I was given a ukulele when I was 5 years old,” he said. “That was the beginning of the end for me.

“I started writing songs when I was 9. So from the time I was 6 years old, I knew what I wanted to do with my life,” he said.

Pottorf attended college at Ohio University for one year before transferring to the Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati.

After performing at Kings Island for several years, Pottorf was hired as the senior music composer with Paramount Parks.

“I was head of the music department,” he said. “I wrote for shows being performed at all five parks (owned by Paramount Parks). I did stage shows and character shows for them.”

His music has been heard on CBS, HGTV, Court TV and PAXNET. “I decided I wanted to do more television,” said Pottorf, “and figured it was now or never. So I resigned from Paramount to do television and films.”

Pottorf has done various commercial work, but said he is probably best known for an animated series that was on CBS. “I did the music for ‘Danger Rangers,’ which was on CBS on Saturday mornings,” said Pottorf.

“As a kid, I lived for Saturday morning cartoons.”

Rangers” “Danger starred Mark Hamill (“Star Wars” fame) and Jerry Houser.

His recent films include 20th Century Fox’s “The Trial,” starring Matthew Modine, and Lion Gate’s “Unrequited” starring Michael Welch of “Twilight.” His latest work, “Dog Days of Summer” starring Will Patton, will be out soon, he

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR of the Gateway Arts Council Ellen Keyes, of New Bremen, looks over an antique bike on display at the Gateway Arts Council headquarters Wednesday. Behind her are pictures taken by GOBA riders that will be on display through Friday. said.

The film to be shown Friday, he said, stars Ted Levin, Kelly Carlson and Bob Gunton. It tells the story of a mentally challenged teenager who inwith teracts supernatural beings he calls “Watchers.”

Pottorf said it takes three to six weeks to compose the music for an entire film.

“People will ask me if I get a copy of the movie I’m supposed to compose the music for,” said Pottorf. “I tell them it’s like hiring a painter to do a portrait. You give them all the supplies and then you don’t give them the canvas to do the painting on. You have to have the picture before you start writing the music.”

Composing the music is a collaboration between the film’s director and the musical director.

“When the film’s director hires someone to do the music, they already know the music style and body of work of the composer,” he said. “There might be a temporary music track on it from when they edited the film. So I can like the scene and like the feel of

the music there. As a composer though, I hate that because sometimes I’m locked into that style of music.

“But with the music track there, I know what’s going on in the director’s head and what he’s looking for from you,” he said. “No matter what, your style of music is going to come through.”

While the Pottorfs currently live in Kentucky, he said they are planning a move to Austin, Texas, next year.

“We love Texas,” said Pottorf. “My wife and I will be ‘empty nesters’ in the fall as our daughter Haley is leaving for college. Our son Luke is in his third year of premed at the University of Kentucky.

“We plan to lease a studio apartment in LA for when we have to be there,” he said. “We love Texas — it’s warm all year round there.”

Tickets for Friday’s shows are $5 each and will be available Friday at the theater. The box office opens one hour ahead of the show. DVD’s of the film will also be available for purchase at the theater.
