GOBA riders pedal out of Sidney, county Riders in the Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure (GOBA) have come and gone, but organizers of local events say the cyclists pedaled away carrying good memories of their visit to Sidney.

“Of those I had the pleasure to meet along the way, their compliments about the city of Sidney and the hospitality they enjoyed while here went on and on,” said Jeff Raible, president of the Sidney-Shelby County Chamber of Commerce and one of the organizers of local activities.

“It was a real joy for all of us in conversations like this to hear how impressed everyone was with our town. The GOBA riders we met were gracious, polite, and very appreciative of all that went into planning for their arrival. All and all it was an incredible experience and an incredible day.

“Publicly, I’d like to thank

each and everyone involved for their careful planning and tireless effort leading up to and including the GOBA visit on Friday. You each did a fantastic job and it was a real privilege to serve with such a high-performing team.”

The cyclists, numbering more than 2,300, arrived here Friday, nearing the end of their 250-mile trek. Many spent the night camping at Sidney Middle School in what was called “GOBAville.” Some also camped out in the Sidney Masonic Lodge.

This year marks the 25th GOBA Reunion Tour. The tour takes place each June and travels through a different part of Ohio every year.

Participants of all ages bike roughly 50 miles each day of the weeklong tour. This year’s bicyclists began in Urbana — where they also ended Saturday — and made See GOBA/Page 9

Pathway designed to meet manufacturing needs PIQUA — Upper Valley Career Center Adult Workforce Division and Rhodes State College are collaborating to offer a career pathway opportunity for students of Upper Valley Career Center’s Advanced ManMainteufacturing nance: PLC Specialty and Precision Tooling and Machining programs. Individuals who take advantage of one of these pathway programs at Upper Valley Career Center will be able to complete the program in 10-months, gain industry recognized certifications that could lead to entry-level engineering positions, and earn advanced credit towards a degree with Rhodes State College.

“With this agreement, students from Upper Valley Career Center who complete either of the designated programs can attend Rhodes State and study one of four targeted tracks and receive college credit for their Upper Valley Career Center coursework.” said Antoinette Baldin, interim associate vice president for Academic Affairs at Rhodes State College.

The four Rhodes programs are: Mechanical

Engineering Technology, Manufacturing Technology, Advanced Manufacturing Technology or Electronic Engineering Technology.

Depending on which Rhodes program they select, students will automatically receive six to 30 credit hours toward an associate’s degree. Rhodes State wants to provide students the opportunity to complete their two-year degree in a shorter period of time because this speaks to the importance of creating new pathways.

“We’re excited about this new partnership,” said Baldin who is also dean of Rhodes State’s Division of Information Technology and Engineering Technology. “It provides us an opportunity for outreach in an area that we had not had for our students.”

According to Ben Brigham, industrial training coordinator at Upper Valley Career Center, employers who hire a student who has completed a career development program at Upper Valley Career Center, along with an associate degree from Rhodes State College, may gain the benefit of an entry-level techni-

ROME (AP) — The Italian news agency ANSA says the body of actor James Gandolfini has departed Rome and is en route to the United States.

ANSA did not cite any sources, but published a photo showing airport workers loading a coffin identified as that of the “Sopranos” star on to a plane.

The agency says the private plane took off at 6 p.m. (1600 GMT) Sunday. Its exact U.S. destination was unclear.

Family spokesman Michael Kobold earlier told reporters the “provisional plan” was to repatriate Gandolfini’s body Monday.

Gandolfini, 51, died Wednesday in Rome.

Kobold has said an autopsy revealed the cause was a heart attack. Authorities have not released the report.

Not a bad way to spend a vacation Kleinhans spends week at air show

BY JIM DAVIS Civitas Media jdavis@civitasmedia.com There may be more exotic vacation destinations out there, but Matt Kleinhans is completely fine blocking out a week each summer to hang out in Dayton.

The Sidney resident has been volunteering since 1989 for the Vectren Dayton Air Show Media Committee, where golf carts, walkie-talkies and box lunches take the place of more traditional summer recreation.

During air show week, — which wrapped up Sunday at Dayton International Airport — Kleinhans spent countless hours helping get reporters, photographers and television personalities where they need to be to report on the annual event. And in return, he gets to spend a week surrounded by all things aviation with a close-knit group of dedicated volunteers.

“It’s worth giving up a week’s vacation for,” said Kleinhans, a U.S. Air Force veteran who started volunteering at the suggestion of his cousin, Linda Anderson. “I enjoyed it that first year interacting with the performers and pilots and media, and I knew I was hooked after that.”

He hasn’t missed a year since, and the 46-year-old father of three (Marah, Austin and Kylee) has become a big part of the volunteer crew.

“He’s a jack-of-all-trades … and he’s a very organized man,” said media chairperson Shiela Wallace. “He’s truly my right-hand. I depend on him for everything.” volunteer Mary Fellow Poplawski said other committee members have come to count on Kleinhans for his willingness to help.

“He’s really good at taking care of people, and if a job needs to get done, Matt does it,” she said.

“Without Matt here, there are

AIR SHOW volunteer Matt Kleinhans assists in getting schedules met Friday prior to the opening of the Vectren Dayton Air Show. things that just would not get done.”

Kleinhans, who has been a police officer in Sidney since 1994, said a strong sense of comitment is shared by members of the volunteer committee, many of whom have spent several years working together.

“It is like an air show family,” he said. “We come down and spend a week with people we only see once a year, and everyone has one common goal — to help put on the best air show that people can possibly see.”

Fellow volunteer Mike McRill said that sense of dedication is nothing new for Kleinhans, who has been his best friend since sixth grade.

“I’ve always seen that in him.

As a police officer, he’s been a role model to me and he always wants to help other people,” said McRill, who also serves with the Sidney Police Department. “When things aren’t flowing the way they should, Matt just steps in and he

is probably the most calming person I know.”

Saturday, when wingwalker Jane Wickers and pilot Charlie Schwenker died in a fiery crash during the air show, that quality was particularly helpful as Kleinhans helped shuttle media personnel to and from the press conference.

“It was a sad day. We had a media interview with her the day before and I was able to interact with her for a few minutes,” Kleinhans said. “But the show continues the next day. That’s what the air show family is all about.”

And although he isn’t a performer, he is part of that family, where his contributions allow him to share his passion for aviation.

“Matt has always had a love affair with airplanes and jets,” McRill said. “For him, (volunteering) gives him a sense of sharing something he loves.”

‘Monsters’ beats zombies, Superman at box office

BY SANDY COHEN The Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — Turns out zombies and Superman are no match for monsters.

Disney’s “Monsters University” is the weekend box-office winner, according to studio estimates released Sunday. The animated family film, which reunites stars Billy Crystal and John Goodman and their characters from the 2001 hit “Monsters, Inc.,” debuted in first place with $82 million, beating out swarming zombies in “World War Z” and Superman himself in “Man of Steel.”

“The diversity of this weekend is part of what makes this business so great,” said Dave Hollis, Disney’s head of distribution. “It’s a really extraordinary weekend for the industry.”

Especially for “Monsters University,” Pixar’s 14th consecutive film to open in first place. Such expectations of excellence put a “healthy pressure” on filmmakers, Hollis said: “To deliver that kind of quality con-

Still, the film exceeded studio expectations with its domestic totals, he said.

Paramount’s Brad Pitt zombie romp overcame critical advance publicity to open in second place with $66 million. Media reports months ahead of the

film’s opening chronicled its problems, including a revamped ending that delayed its release.

Rewrites and reshoots sent the film over budget. It ended up reportedly costing more than $200 million to make, but early reviews were positive.

“What ‘World War Z’ proves is that all the

negative backstory that can be thrown at a movie doesn’t matter if the movie’s good,” said Paul Dergarabedian of box-office tracker Hollywood.com.

“I don’t think the audience cares one lick if they had to reshoot the ending if they like the ending and like the movie.”

SPECTATORS WATCH the airplane carrying veteran stuntwoman Jane Wicker (on the plane’s wing) and pilot Charlie Schwenker, both of Virginia, moments before it crashed Saturday at the Vectren Air Show.

CRASH Jason Aguilera, the National Transportation Safety Board investigator leading the probe into the crash, said Sunday that it was too early to rule anything out and that the agency would issue its findings in six months to a year.

Wicker, a mother of two teenage boys and recently engaged, sat helplessly on the plane’s wing as the aircraft suddenly turned and slammed into the ground, exploding on impact and stunning the crowd at the Vectren Air Show near Dayton. The show closed shortly afterward but reopened Sunday with a moment of silence for the victims.

The crash drew attention to the rarefied profession of wing walking, which began in the 1920s in the barnstorming era of air shows following World War I. The practice fell off the middle of the 20th century but picked back up again in the 1970s. Still, there are only about a dozen wing walkers in the U.S., said John Cudahy, president of the Leesburg, Va.-based International Council of Air Shows.

Teresa Stokes, of Houston, said she’s been wing walking for the past 25 years and does a couple of dozen shows every year. The job mostly requires being in shape to climb around the plane while battling winds, she said.

“It’s like running a marathon in a hurricane,” Stokes said. “When you’re watching from the ground it looks pretty graceful, but up there, it’s happening very fast and it’s high energy and I’m really moving fast against hurricane-force winds.”

Stokes, an aerobatic pilot before becoming a wing walker, said she was attracted to performing stunts because of the thrill.

“It is the craziest fun ride you’ve ever been on,” she said. “You’re like Superman flying around, going upside-down doing rolls and loops, and I’m just screaming and laughing.”

John King, pilot and president of the Flying Circus Airshow, where Wicker trained, said the most important qualities of wing walkers are “strong nerves, a sense of adventure and a level head.”

He said they tell people who are interested that it’ll take a year of training before they’ll be allowed to walk on the wing of an airplane in flight.

“We give them an opportunity to walk on a wing down on the ground without the engine run-

From Page 1 ning,” he said. “Then we start up the engine. And if that doesn’t spook them, OK, we taxi around the field and that’s when it gets bumpy. If they do that successfully, the next time they do it is in the air.”

He described Wicker, of Bristow, Va., and Schwenker, of Oakton, Va., as “ultimate professionals.”

“I don’t know of anyone who could have done any better than what they were doing,” he said.

In one post on Wicker’s website, the stuntwoman explains what she loved most about her job.

“There is nothing that feels more exhilarating or freer to me than the wind and sky rushing by me as the earth rolls around my head,” says the post. “I’m alive up there. To soar like a bird and touch the sky puts me in a place where I feel I totally belong. It’s the only thing I’ve done that I’ve never questioned, never hesitated about and always felt was my destiny.”

She also answered a question she said she got frequently: What about the risk?

“I feel safer on the wing of my airplane than I do driving to the airport,” she wrote. “Why? Because I’m in control of those risks and not at the mercy of those other drivers.”

An announcer at Saturday’s event narrated as Wicker’s plane glided through the air.

“Keep an eye on Jane.

Keep an eye on Charlie.

Watch this! Jane Wicker, sitting on top of the world,” he said, right before the plane made a quick turn and nosedive.

Some witnesses said they knew something was wrong because the plane was flying too low and slow.

Thanh Tran, of Fairfield, said he could see a look of concern on Wicker’s face just before the plane went down.

“She looked very scared,” he said. “Then the airplane crashed on the ground. After that, it was terrible, man … very terrible.”

From 1975 to 2010, just two wing walkers were killed, one in 1975 and another in 1993, Cudahy said. But since 2011, three wing walkers have died, including Wicker.

In 2011, wing walker Todd Green fell 200 feet to his death at an air show in Michigan while performing a stunt in which he grabbed the skid of a helicopter. That same year, wing walker Amanda Franklin died after being badly burned in a plane crash during a performance in South Texas. The pilot, her husband, Kyle, survived.

Promise of price cut on hospital bills is in limbo

TODAY IN HISTORY

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Monday, June 24, the 175th day of 2013.

There are 190 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 24, 1983, the space shuttle Challenger — carrying America’s first woman in space, Sally K. Ride — coasted to a safe landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

On this date: • In 1314, the forces of Scotland’s King Robert I defeated the English in the Battle of Bannockburn.

• In 1509, Henry VIII was crowned king of England; his wife, Catherine of Aragon, was crowned queen consort.

• In 1793, the first republican constitution in France was adopted.

• In 1813, American clergyman and social reformer Henry Ward Beecher was born in Litchfield, Conn.

• In 1908, the 22nd and 24th presidents of the United States, Grover Cleveland, died in Princeton, N.J., at age 71.

• In 1940, France signed an armistice with Italy during World War II. • In 1948, Communist forces cut off all land and water routes between West Germany and West Berlin, prompting the western allies to organize the Berlin Airlift. The Republican National Convention, meeting in Philadelphia, nominated New York Gov. Thomas E. Dewey for president.

• In 1968, “Resurrection City,” a shantytown constructed as part of the Poor People’s March on Washington D.C., was closed down by authorities.

• In 1973, President Richard Nixon concluded his summit with the visiting leader of the Soviet Union, Leonid Brezhnev, who hailed the talks in an address on American television.

• In 1975, 113 people were killed when an Eastern Airlines Boeing 727 crashed while attempting to land during a thunderstorm at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.

• In 1982, a British Airways Boeing 747 lost power in all four engines while passing through volcanic ash generated by Mount Galunggung in Indonesia.

(The crew managed to restart the engines and make a safe emergency landing in Jakarta.)

OUT OF THE BLUE

North West welcomed NEW YORK (AP) — Was Kanye West inspired by One Direction?

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West named their daughter North West, according to their Los Angeles County birth certificate.

The baby was born at 5:34 a.m. June 15 at CedarsSinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

North is certainly not the first celebrity baby with an unorthodox name — and plenty of those names have set trends. Brooklyn may have seemed exotic when Victoria and David Beckham chose it in 1999, but last year it was the 29th most popular baby name in the U.S., according to the Social Security Administration. (Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz’s choice of another New York borough, Bronx, remains less popular.)

North has not cracked the Social Security Administration’s top 1,000 baby names over the past 100 years, though West ranked 949 for boys in the year 1913. But given the popularity of place names — Paris, London, Sydney and Savannah were also in the top 100 for girls — perhaps we can expect more babies with a sense of direction in years to come.

A TV screen shows a news report of Edward Snowden, a former CIA employee who leaked top-secret documents about sweeping U.S. surveillance programs, at a shopping mall in Hong Kong Sunday. The former National Security Agency contractor wanted by the United States for revealing two highly classified surveillance programs has been allowed to leave for a “third country” because a U.S. extradition request did not fully comply with Hong Kong law, the territory’s government said Sunday.

WikiLeaks: Snowden going to Ecuador to seek asylum

BY PHILIP ELLIOTT The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Admitted leaker Edward Snowden took flight Sunday in evasion of U.S. authorities, seeking asylum in Ecuador and leaving the Obama administration scrambling to determine its next step in what became a game of diplomatic cat-and-mouse.

The former National Security Agency contractor and CIA technician fled Hong Kong and arrived at the Moscow airport, where he planned to spend the night before boarding an Aeroflot flight to Cuba.

Ecuador’s Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino said his government received an asylum request from Snowden, and the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks said it would help him.

“He goes to the very coun-

tries that have, at best, very tense relationships with the United States,” said Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., adding that she feared Snowden would trade more U.S. secrets for asylum. “This is not going to play out well for the national security interests of the United States.”

The move left the U.S. with limited options as Snowden’s itinerary took him on a tour of what many see as anti-American capitals. Ecuador in particular has rejected the United States’ previous efforts at cooperation, and has been helping WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, avoid prosecution by allowing him to stay at its embassy in London.

Snowden helped The Guardian and The Washington Post disclose U.S. surveillance programs that collects vast amounts of phone records and

online data in the name of foreign intelligence, but often sweeping up information on American citizens. Officials have the ability to collect phone and Internet information broadly but need a warrant to examine specific cases where they believe terrorism is involved.

Snowden has been in hiding for several weeks in Hong Kong, a former British colony with a high degree of autonomy from mainland China.

The United States formally sought Snowden’s extradition from Hong Kong but was rebuffed; Hong Kong officials said the U.S. request did not fully comply with their laws.

The Justice Department rejected that claim, saying its request met all of the requirements of the extradition treaty between the U.S. and Hong Kong.

Twinkies to return to shelves

BY CANDICE CHOI The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Hostess is betting on a sweet comeback for Twinkies when they return to shelves next month.

The company that went bankrupt after an acrimonious fight with its unionized workers last year is back up and running under new owners and a leaner structure. It says it plans to have Twinkies and other snack cakes back on shelves starting July 15.

Based on the outpouring of nostalgia sparked by its demise, Hostess is expecting a blockbuster return next month for Twinkies and other sugary treats, such as CupCakes and Donettes. The company says the cakes will taste the same but that the boxes will now bear the tag line “The Sweetest Comeback In The History Of Ever.”

“A lot of impostor products have come to the market while Hostess has been off the shelves,” says Daren Metropoulos, a principal of the investment firm Metropoulos & Co., which teamed up with Apollo Global Management to buy a variety of Hostess snacks.

Hostess Brands Inc. was struggling for years before it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in early

2012. Workers blamed the troubles on years of mismanagement, as well as a failure of executives to invest in brands to keep up with changing tastes. The company said it was weighed down by higher pension and medical costs than its competitors, whose employees weren’t unionized.

To steer it through its bankruptcy reorganization, Hostess hired restructuring expert Greg Rayburn as its CEO. But Rayburn ultimately failed to reach a contract agreement with its second largest union. In November, he blamed striking workers for crippling the company’s ability to maintain normal production and announced that Hostess would liquidate.

The shuttering triggered a rush on Hostess snack cakes, with stores selling out of the most popular brands within hours.

About 15,000 unionized workers lost their jobs in the aftermath.

In unwinding its business, Hostess sold off its brands in chunks to different buyers. Its major bread brands including Wonder were sold to Flowers Foods, which makes Tastykakes. McKee Foods, which makes Little Debbie snack cakes, snapped up Drake’s Cake, which includes

Devil Dogs and Yodels.

Metropoulos & Co. and Apollo bought Twinkies and other Hostess cakes for $410 million.

Apollo Global Management, founded by Leon Black, is known for buying troubled brands then selling them for a profit; its investments include fast-food chains Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s. Metropoulos & Co., which has revamped then sold off brands including Chef Boyardee and Bumble Bee, also owns Pabst Brewing Co. That could mean some cross-promotional marketing is in store.

“There is certainly a natural association with the two,” Metropoulos said. “There could be some opportunities for them to seen together.”

The trimmed-down Hostess Brands LLC has a far less costly operating structure than the predecessor company.

Some of the previous workers were hired back, but they’re no longer unionized.

Hostess will also now deliver to warehouses that supply retailers, rather than delivering directly to stores, said Rich Seban, the president of Hostess who previously served as chief operating officer. That will greatly expand its reach, letting it deliver to dollar stores and nearly all convenience stores in the U.S.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Huge list prices charged by hospitals are drawing increased attention, but a federal law meant to limit what the most financially vulnerable patients can be billed doesn’t seem to be making much difference.

A provision in President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul says most hospitals must charge uninsured patients no more than what people with health insurance are billed.

The goal is to protect patients from medical bankruptcy, a problem that will not go away next year when Obama’s law expands coverage for millions.

Because the Affordable Care Act doesn’t cover everyone, many people will remain uninsured. Also, some who could sign up are expected to procrastinate even though the law requires virtually everyone to have health insurance.

Consumer groups that lobbied for a “fair pricing” provision are disappointed. A university researcher who’s studied the issue says the government doesn’t seem to be doing much enforcement, and at least one state, Colorado, enacted a stricter rule since the federal statute passed.

Critics say the law has several problems: • It applies only to nonprofit institutions, which means about 40 percent of all community hospitals are exempted. By comparison, the Colorado law also covers forprofit hospitals.

• It lacks a clear formula for hospitals to determine which uninsured patients qualify for financial aid, and how deep a discount is reasonable. A California law spells out such a formula for that state’s hospitals.

• More than three years after Obama signed his law, the Internal Revenue Service has not issued final rules explaining how hospitals should comply with the federal billing limits. Delay doesn’t signal a high priority.

“We still hear the same stories about patients who are being sent to (debt) collection,” said Jessica Curtis, director of the hospital accountability project at Community Catalyst, a Bostonbased advocacy group that led the push for billing limitations. “It’s the same behavior that we were seeing before the passage of the Affordable Care Act.” The Obama administration responds that fair pricing is the law of the land, and that hospitals are expected to comply even if the IRS has not finalized the rules. The agency has begun compliance reviews, a spokeswoman said.

South Africa: Nelson Mandela in critical condition

BY CHRISTOPHER TORCHIA The Associated Press JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Nelson Mandela’s health has deteriorated and he is now in critical condition, the South African government said Sunday.

The office of President Jacob Zuma said in a statement that he had visited the 94-year-old anti-apartheid leader at a hospital Sunday evening and was informed by the medical team that Mandela’s condition had become critical in the past 24 hours.

“The doctors are doing everything possible to get his condition to improve

and are ensuring that Madiba is welllooked after and is comfortable. He is in good hands,” Zuma said in the statement, using Mandela’s clan name.

Zuma also met Graca Machel, Mandela’s wife, at the hospital in Pretoria and discussed the former leader’s condition, according to the statement. Zuma was accompanied on the visit by Cyril Ramaphosa, the deputy president of the country’s ruling party, the African National Congress.

Mandela was jailed for 27 years under white racist rule and released in 1990. He then played a leading role in steering the divided country from the

apartheid era to democracy, becoming South Africa’s first black president in all-race elections in 1994. He was hospitalized on June 8 for what the government said was a recurring lung infection.

In Sunday’s statement, Zuma also discussed the government’s acknowledgement a day earlier that an ambulance carrying Mandela to the Pretoria hospital two weeks ago had engine trouble, requiring the former president to be transferred to another ambulance for his journey. Pretoria, South Africa’s capital, lies about 50 km (30 miles) from Johannesburg, where Mandela has been living.

TEENS: It was a beautiful Memorial Day i n Newp o r t Beach, C a l i f. , a n d f i v e teens were headed ’Tween to the b e a c h 12 & 20 for an Dr. Robert afterWallace noon of fun in the sun. The teens were riding in a late model automobile owned by the 17-year-old driver.

The posted speed limit was 55 miles per hour, but the 17-year-old driver was in a great hurry to reach the destination because he was driving at a dangerously high rate of speed when the car veered off the road and hit a tree, splitting the car in half and killing all five teens. The victims, two boys and three girls, all attended school in the Irvine Unified School District, and two of the girls were sisters.

When first responders arrived at the collision site, they thought it was a two-car collision because only one half of the car was on fire. The Newport Beach fire captain, who has nearly 30 years of experience, told reporters that, “This was, if not the worst, one of the worst accidents I’ve ever seen.” The mayor of Newport Beach said that he had been informed that the vehicle was traveling in excess of 100 miles per hour at impact. The driver, an honors student, did not possess a driver’s license. A month prior to the crash, he had received a traffic citation for violating the terms of his provisional license and having a modified exhaust system and tinted windows that obscured the driver’s view.

All of the teens who were killed were excellent students and extremely well-liked by their fellow students.

Needless to say, the entire school district was in shock. Close friends of the victims recalled them all as being wonderful and fun-loving teens. The driver and one of the sisters were about to graduate in a week or so. I always feel saddened to write a column filled with death and grief involving young victims. My days as a high school principal were spent only a few miles from this tragedy, and I have driven this same road numerous times. Future trips on this road will never be the same.

If there is blame to this tragedy, call it youthful exuberance. Please learn from this tragic event. Don’t allow the same to happen to you. If you drive, obey all traffic laws. If you are a passenger, insist that the driver obeys all traffic laws, but if you’re concerned that the driver might not drive safely, don’t be a passenger. Youthful exuberance can lead to a horrible disaster!

Civic Band to salute military movies able to attend, is particularly looking forward to this year’s concert. It was Perreira who had suggested the theme for the concert.

“I have always given a lot of credit to the musical scores created for the singular drama of a war movie,” said Perreira. “If you really listen to the music during a movie such as ‘Gettysburg’ or ‘Band of Brothers,’ it is truly amazing.”

F r i d a y night’s song and movie score selections will include “The Dirty Dozen,” “The Great Escape,” “Where Eagles Dare,” “Patton,” “Normandy Beach,” “Gomer Pyle,” “Colonel Bogey,” “U.S. Field Artillery March,” “The Dam Busters,” “Hogan’s Heroes March,” “Midway March” and “Victory at Sea.” The concert is free.

GAC reports program funding percentage Gateway Arts Council (GAC) has announced that a report produced through the Ohio Cultural Data project revealed that 77 percent of GAC’s expenses for fiscal year 2012 went towards programs costs.

This represents an increase of four percentage points since fiscal year 2011.

“I have always known that Gateway Arts Council is an organization that is a good steward of its financial

resources, but when you see the report, it is humbling and thrilling all at the same time,” said Executive Director Ellen Keyes. “It is a big deal to me that we are able to put so much of our resources directly toward the programs that we bring to our community.”

Christopher Gibbs, GAC president, agreed that the report was significant.

“Our donors are interested in results, not promises. This cultural

data demonstrates that the Gateway puts its donor’s money where those results can be both seen and measured,” said Gibbs.

The arts council has been annually reporting data to the project since 2008. GAC has been able to track trends and progress benchmark through the project’s reporting tools.

“Measuring our progress keeps us focused on what is important to our customers,” said Gibbs.

Farmers are using no-till for two-thirds of the state’s soybean acres, but when they rotate to corn or wheat many are using tillage.

Only about a third of the state's corn is planted using no-till or other conservation tillage methods. About 40 percent of the state’s wheat is planted with conservation tillage.

Producing competitive yields with conservation tillage can be more challenging with corn than with soybeans because corn can’t fill in thin stands as well as soybeans can.

Farmers can improve their results with careful management, including attention to seed placement, use of seed treatments and starter fertilizer, and practices such as strip tillage, which can improve the seedbed.

Learn & Live: Grain industry hazards lead to deaths, injuries each year COLUMBUS — Five seconds. That is how quickly a worker can become engulfed in flowing grain and be unable to get out.

Sixty seconds. That is how quickly a worker can be completely submerged in flowing grain. More than half of all grain engulfments result in death by suffocation.

In 2010, at least 26 U.S. workers were killed in grain engulfments, the highest number on record.

In the past 50 years, more than 900 cases of grain engulfment have been reported with a fatality rate of 62 percent, according to researchers at Purdue University in Indiana.

Record death and injuries in 2010, led the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration to reach out to the agricultural and grain handling industries to find ways to prevent deaths and injuries. OSHA also developed a Local Emphasis Program for Grain Handling Facilities focusing on the grain and feed industry’s six major hazards. These include engulfment, falls, auger entanglement, “struck by,” combustible dust explosions and electrocution hazards.

“OSHA is working hard to change the ‘it won’t happen to me’ mindset,” said Nick Walters, OSHA Regional Administrator for six Midwestern states. “Grain handling injuries and deaths can be prevented if employers follow proper safety procedures.”

Suffocation can occur when a worker becomes buried by grain as they walk on moving grain or attempt to clear grain built up on the inside of a bin. Moving grain acts like "quicksand" and can bury a worker in seconds. "Bridged" grain and vertical piles of stored grain can also collapse unexpectedly if a worker stands on or near it. The behavior and weight of the grain make it extremely difficult for a worker to get out of it without assistance.

In Ohio, there have been two recent engulfment deaths on family farms in Milan and in Clark County near Springfield. The most recent death occurred May 28. Neither farm is under OSHA jurisdiction as they employ 10 or less individuals.

OSHA has worked with the Ohio State University to develop a grain safety training session as part of the 2012 OSU/OSHA Safety Day on

Grain Safety and plans to do a presentation for the Grain Elevator and Processing Society later this year.

“OSHA is working together with the grain and agricultural industries and the agricultural community to train employers and workers about the unique hazards of the grain and feed industry,” said Walters. “Through training, decals, brochures, websites, and other means of information communication, we will continue to work to improve awareness of these hazards and the safety and health of workers on Ohio farms and in grain handling facilities. We are committed to preventing the injuries and deaths that have been too frequent in the industry in recent years.”

OSHA, the Grain and Feed Association of Illinois and the Illinois Grain Handling Safety Coalition have also developed a stop sign decal to adhere to grain bin doors using pictures and short phrases reminding entrants to lockout potentially hazardous equipment, stay clear of waist high grain, cover floor holes and to follow other best practices. Individuals or companies can email the Grain and Feed Association of Illinois at info@gfai.org to request the decal, which is pictured above.

OSHA has also published information related to common grain industry hazards and abatement methods, proper bin entry techniques, sweep auger use, and many other grain related topics at w w w. o s h a . g o v / S LT C / g r a i n h a n dling/index.html. OSHA’s Grain Bin LEP is used in 25 states.

To ask questions, obtain compliance assistance, file a complaint, or report workplace hospitalizations, fatalities or situations posing imminent danger to workers, the public should call OSHA’s toll-free hotline at 800-321-OSHA (6742).

Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. OSHA’s role is to ensure these conditions exist for America’s working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance.

Traditional uses of soy may change with new soybean varieties ST. LOUIS — The food industry remains the biggest user of U.S. soy oil, but new soybean varieties with the high oleic trait have the potential to revolutionize the industrial applications of soy.

Many of the same attributes that make high oleic soy oil attractive to the food industry, such as increased functionality and stability and its low saturated fat content also make it appealing to manufacturers of other products, such as lubricants, paints and plastics.

“The good thing about this oil is that it has great characteristics for use on the food industry side, but those same characteristics make it excellent for industrial applications,” says Steve Howell, president of MARC-IV, consultants for industrial uses of agricultural products.

“So it’s really a win-win for the soy industry.”

High oleic oil performs well in extreme temperatures. The oil remains a liquid in colder weather longer than traditional soy oil, ensuring products like lubricants, solvents and biodiesel remain usable in a wider range of locations and seasons.

“Right now, solvents, lubricants work fine in

Missouri in the summer time, but they don’t work as well during Minnesota winters,” says Howell. “Materials might gel up. High oleic helps to mitigate that problem.”

The temperature at which high oleic oil begins to gel is about 15 degrees lower than traditional soy oil.

High oleic also withstands high temperatures. Both high oleic and traditional soy oil have significantly higher flash points, the temperature at which a liquid catches fire, than traditional petroleum distillates which makes them safer for consumers to use. But high oleic’s low levels of poly-unsaturated fat improve its high-heat performance and oxidative stability, increasing its potential for use in applications where traditional soy oil may fall short.

“The same properties that extend its fry life increase high oleic’s stability where heat and oxygen are present,” says Howell. “This means that it has a great potential for use in places where high temperatures are an issue, like in engines.”

In both high and low temperatures, high oleic oil reduces friction be-

tween metal parts more than other oils, making it a great material to use in lubricants.

Add in its renewability and sustainability benefits and high oleic soy is an attractive alternative to petroleumbased chemicals.

However, Howell says, price remains an important consideration.

“As the price of crude oil goes up, the cost of animal and vegetable products becomes much more appealing in some of those industrial markets,” says Howell. “It always comes down to price, but soy has a big opportunity here.”

Because of the high oleic’s potential to increase the demand for U.S. soy, the soy industry is committed to expanding high oleic acres and marketing the varieties to end customers. Now, all farmers have to do is grow it.

“If soybean farmers want to continue to grow soybeans, we need to look for new and expanded markets for our product,” says Dale Profit, soybean farmer from Van Wert, Ohio and secretary for QUALISOY. “We need to be at the forefront of providing exceptional products that meet the demands of our customers.”

GOBA From Page 1 stops in Troy, Greenville and New Bremen before arriving in Sidney.

Raible said that of the more than 2,300 cyclists, 59 percent ranged in age from 51 to 70. The most senior rider this year was 86. Twenty percent of GOBA riders participated as families. Fiftynine percent were male and 41 percent female.

Recalling the local effort that went into hosting the riders, Raible said, “Last October we were approached by representatives from the Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure telling us that they wanted to feature Sidney on their 25th anniversary bicycle tour in June 2013. Although thrilled to be selected for a daylong visit and overnight stay, we were a bit overwhelmed as well with all that had to be done in preparation for their arrival. In January we reached out to a considerable number of local individuals and organizations to begin planning. Without the early and energetic involvement of these community volunteers, none of the success enjoyed with this event could have ever been possible.”

“Although individual names are simply too numerous to mention, many organizations in our community comprised of these individuals played a key role in the GOBA effort,” Raible said.

These organizations include Sidney City Schools; city of Sidney services, including police, fire, rescue, parks and recreation, and geographic information systems; Shelby County services to include the commissioner’s office, sheriff, and building and grounds services; Wilson Memorial Hospital, Shelby County Amateur Radio Emergency Services, Sidney Rotary Club, Gateway Arts Council, the Sidney Civic Band, Sidney-Shelby County YMCA, Shelby County Society, Historical Shelby County Libraries, the Shelby County Fair Board, Hampton Inn, the Sidney Daily News, “and of course my co-workers at the Chamber, the Downtown Sidney Business Association, and the Sidney Visitors Bureau,” Raible said.

Truex Jr. snaps losing streak

SPORTS

REPLAY 50 years ago June 24, 1963

SONOMA, Calif. (AP) — Martin Truex Jr. snapped a 218race winless streak with an easy victory Sunday on the road course at Sonoma Raceway.

It was just the second win of Truex’s career, first since Dover in 2007. It put Michael Waltrip Racing in Victory Lane for the second year in a row after Clint Bowyer won here last season.

Truex worked his way to the front and used strategy to stay with the leaders. He then pulled away after the final restart and built a healthy lead of more than six seconds over Juan Pablo Montoya.

Jeff Gordon finished second a week after he was wrecked six laps into the race at Michigan.

Carl Edwards was third, followed by Kurt Busch, who climbed back from a pair of speeding penalties.

Sidney Baptist belted Post Jefferson-Maplewood Methodist 11-4 in City Church Slo-Pitch League action on Saturday. Home runs by the Hatfields, Art and Bob, highlighted the Sidney Baptist tenhit showing, in which they scored five runs in the second to clinch the victory.

25 years ago June 24, 1988 Lehman and Jackson Center both notched wins in Acme baseball action, Lehman beating West Milton 6-4 and Jackson defeating Houston 11-10.

Lehman’s win was keyed by John Francis’ double and single. Jackson Center scored three times in the bottom of the seventh to nip Houston. Jim Gooding had a triple and a single, John Prenger had two hits and Jason Harman had a triple and a home run for Jackson Center. For Houston, Neal Poeppelman had three hits.

10 years ago June 24, 2003 Jarrell Morgan has no doubt see it all in his 25 years of coaching. But the task he’s about to undertake probably ranks right up there with the toughest he’s faced. Morgan has been named as the head girls basketball coach at Houston and he already knows what his No. 1 priority is — getting the girls interested again. Morgan spent 20 years as Piqua’s head coach, then coached the Bradford girls for one season and the Bradford boys for three.

CINCINNATI REDS shortstop Zack Cozart (2) turns the double play while avoiding Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Willie Bloomquist (18) in the first inning during a baseball game on Sunday in Phoenix.

Reds salvage final game against Arizona, 4-2 PHOENIX (AP) — Mat Latos matched his career high with 13 strikeouts and the Cincinnati Reds salvaged the finale of their three-game series in Arizona with a 4-2 victory over the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Shin-Soo Choo hit a leadoff home run and Brandon Phillips added a two-run shot in the first inning off Randall Delgado (0-1).

That was plenty of offense for Latos (7-1), who allowed a run on six hits with one walk in 7 2-3 innings.

Latos, coming off his first loss in 21 starts, didn’t strike anyone out in the first two innings, then fanned 13 over the next 5 2-3.

After blowing a save in Cincinnati’s 4-3 loss on Saturday, Aroldis Chapman gave up a run in a shaky ninth but still got his 19th save.

The loss snapped Arizona’s four-game winning streak.

In the ninth, Chapman got the first two batters to bounce out to shortstop before Cliff Pennington singled and went

to second on defensive indifference. Pinch-hitter Wil Nieves singled in Pennington to cut it to 4-2.

A wild pitch moved Nieves to second, then Chapman hit Gerardo Parra in the right forearm with a 100 mph fastball.

Pitching coach Bryan Price went to the mound to settle down Chapman, and the lefthander got Willie Bloomquist to pop out to center to end the game.

Latos fanned six in a row in the third and fourth — Delgado, Parra, Bloomquist, Paul Goldschmidt, Miguel Montero and Jason Kubel — all swinging. Of Latos’ season-high 110 pitches, 79 were strikes.

The Reds jumped on Delgado from the start.

Choo hit an 0-2 pitch into the swimming pool area in right field, his fourth leadoff homer of the season and ninth of his career. Zach Cozart followed with a double, then after Joey Votto struck out looking, Phillips’ homer to left made it 3-0.

CLEVELAND INDIANS catcher Yan Gomes pleads but home plate umpire Eric Cooper calls Minnesota Twins base runner Ryan Doumit safe, during the ninth inning of a baseball game at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Sunday. Minnesota won 5-3.

Emergency starter gets win for Twins CLEVELAND (AP) — Pedro Hernandez will have been with the Minnesota Twins just long enough to earn a victory. Making an emergency start after scheduled starter Mike Pelfrey was scratched because of a strained back, Hernandez allowed two runs in five innings, and the Twins avoided a three-game sweep with a 5-3 win over the Cleveland Indians on Sunday.

“This is crazy for me,” he said. “I slept three hours. But, you know, that’s part of my job.

I love my job.”

Hernandez learned he was needed to make a spot start after Triple-A Rochester’s

game at Louisville, Ky., Saturday night after Pelfrey hurt his back while running in the outfield during batting practice.

With his wife, Jackie, behind the wheel and their infant daughter in the car, Hernandez headed north, arriving at the Twins’ hotel at 4 a.m.

Hernandez (3-1) then pitched around six walks and got the win despite throwing 45 of his 85 pitches for balls.

The left-hander walked the first three hitters in the second but allowed only one run before giving up another in the third. Hernandez retired eight of the last nine hitters he faced.

‘The Wild Child’ wins at Hannigan captures ‘Rabbit’ Eldora Speedway ROSSBURG — By no means is he a kid anymore, but his moniker remains ‘the Wild Child’ and Jac Haudenschild lived up to those expectations with a classic Eldora Speedway run Saturday night. For the 55-year old Wooster native, it was his eighth career UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Car victory on the famed .500-mile clay oval and it came in leg No. 2 of the annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek.

Completing the tripleheader program as feature winners were Ryan Sutter in his first UMP DIRTcar Modified trip to the stage and Barney Craig for his fourth Stock Car win of the season.

Haudenschild played out the “spoiler” role, as his determined rim-riding run denied Tim Shaffer his first-ever All Star win at Eldora. Shaffer, the defending and fourtime All Star champion captured the pole starting berth for the 30-lap A-Feature event by virtue of his victory in the Dash event earlier in the night.

As the green flag unfurled over the lightning quick field, Shaffer shot out as if fired from a cannon. Within three laps he had built up a comfortable six car length lead; yet Haudenschild had him in sight. Riding up against the outer wall, Haudenschild moved from fourth to second before the completion of the first lap, and as his momentum built him, he began to narrow the distance.

By the sixth circuit, the blistering pace found the leaders approaching

lapped traffic and that played right into the hand of Haudenschild.

Before the seventh lap could be completed, Haudenschild had moved to the front and that was his position to protect throughout the remainder of the chase.

That protection held up through a pair of caution flags that had bunched up the field.

One of the yellow flag periods was for Brandon Wimmer who tagged the third turn wall after finding a groove that was moving him forward quickly from his 8th place starting position.

Also on the move was current point leader Dale Blaney who started the race in 11th spot, but by lap 20 was up to third and joined a spirited battle with Brad Sweet, Randy Hannagan and his brother, Dave Blaney.

Things really heated up in the waning laps, as the gap that Haudenschild had built up narrowed down to a matter of a few car lengths.

Shaffer, sensing his first Eldora All Star win, zeroed in on Haudenschild, but time ran out and had to settle for runner-up honors, with Sweet nosing out Dale Blaney for third. Hannagan crossed the line in fifth position, with Dave Blaney sixth.

Normally a nemesis, a rash of caution flags proved to be an ally to Sutter, who turned a solid effort. A 15-minute time placed on the event expired as a result of the numerous yellow flags, with a strong running Sutter out in front.

It was doubtful that anyone had anything for the determined young charger had the race

gone the distance.

Aaron Orr tried every trick in the book to outsmart Sutter, as did eventual third-place finisher Brandon Vaughan.

But with every restart, Sutter was able to maintain his groove and drove a smart race knowing that the clock was ticking in his favor.

Following those three across the line were Zach Schroeder and Jerry Bowersock. With Sutter’s victory, it marked the fifth different winner this season, tying a 1996 fete as the most consecutive run of different winners in a season.

Paul Pardo shot into the early lead of the Stock Car finale, knowing that defending champion Craig was not too far behind him. Craig didn’t disappoint Pardo in his expectations of a battle, as within a matter of three laps the duo was engaged in a battle of supremacy.

That lasted until the half-way point, at which time Craig slid into the lead he was to hold to the finish. Pardo hung on for second, while Dean Pitts turned in his best performance of the year to finish third.

Jordan Conover and Shawn Phillippi completed the top five.

Eldora’s focus on Sprint Car racing now carries over to the 30th annual Kings Royal weekend, set for the weekend of July 12 and 13.

Tickets and campsites for the event, as well as all of the other remaining events on the 60th season of racing at Eldora, can be purchased online at www.EldoraSpeedway.com.

LIMA — The 14th Annual Run for the Rabbit brings the K & L Ready Mix NRA Sprint Invaders to Limaland Motorsports Park and with it comes a full field of talented sprint car competitors. This event serves to remember the late Travis “Rabbit” Miller who drove a sprint car at the track, most recently in the summer of 1999, before a highway accident claimed his life.

Longtime sprint car ace Tim Allison drove Miller’s No. 17 car, complete with identical decals from that era, as a part of the evening’s festivities. The large crowd was receptive to the effort as they stood and waived during a four-car wide salute with a parade lap prior to the 25lap feature.

Randy Hannagan and Jared Horstman have split winning the four feature sprint car races held at that track so far this season. This evening would prove to be more of the same as the two drivers, both with Hurricane as an occasional nickname, would dominate the race.

There was a good battle for the second position between Beau Stewart

and Max Stambaugh, although no one could effectively challenge the veteran Hannagan. His car owner Dennis Yoakam was holding steady with Stewart/Stambaugh and with a restart following caution on lap number twenty, it was setting up for a 1-2 finish for the Yoakam Motorsports team.

When the checkers flew, it was Hannagan, Yoakam and Devon Dobie leading the field to the finish.

“It’s great to get back into the winner’s circle tonight as last week I messed up in lapped traffic,” said Hannagan after his third win of the season and 12th of his Limaland career. “It’s really something for Dennis to finish right behind me and shows how good the equipment we have and what this Yoakam motorsports team is all about.”

Hannagan was also sentimental with the moment following his conquest. “This one is for my friend Jason Leffler (recently died in a racing accident) and of course Travis Miller. These were two guys that were friends and competitors to many of us.”

A pair of track champions from 2012 proved too much for the rest of the fields in both the Modifieds and Stock cars on this evening as Todd Sherman and Shawn Valenti looked invincible with their performances.

Shawn Valenti benefited with the pole starting position as the green flag was unfurled on the ThunderBudweiser stocks 15-lap feature. Although he (Valenti) never surrendered the lead, Jeff Koz, who was riding a two race winning streak, stuck to Valenti’s rear bumper and made him work for the victory.

Limaland Motorsports Park returns to action on Friday for the 31st Annual Ohio Sprint Speed Week presented by Elwer Fence. Ohio Sprint Speed Week features the UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions. Also the K&N UMP Modifieds will compete. Gates open at 5 p.m. with racing at 7:30 p.m.

Korn always fielded cars sporting the No. 72, with the top drivers always wanting to strap in and race one of his machines. Korn lost his life to cancer several years ago. The 72-lap main saw Jim Lewis Jr. lead the pack into turn one. Lewis quickly set out to lead every lap until lap 29 when he spun on the backchute.

Lewis went to the rear of the field on the restart with Josh Smith taking the lead. Smith led until lap 65 when his engine went up in flames. Greg Stapleton, of Troy, had been all over Smith as the laps wound down, taking the lead when Smith broke. Stapleton, who was also fast qualifier led the final laps to win the event. It was the third win in four starts for Stapleton in his Tony Hunt owned Stapleton Tool and Machine/AK Photogra-

phy backed racer. Nathan Herron had a solid run to finish second, with Matthew Parsons third, Sam Heckman fourth and Mike Ward fifth.

Brandon Bayse was the winner of the dash, with Russ Bobb taking the heat checker.

In the street stock Dillon Snapp main brought the field to the green, with James Harding second. Turn three turned out to be a disaster for Harding as a three wide scramble ended up with him hitting the wall hard. Harding was uninjured, but the car had heavy damage, Snapp took the lead again on the restart and led lap one.

Defending track champion Rodney Roush then put his M&M Head Service/Roush and Sons Racing Chevelle out front.

Roush ran his famous inside lane to lead the final laps to post the win. Josh Sage and Steve Snapp battled for the No. 2 spot, with Sage finally finishing second.

The tuner 20 lap feature once again finished a close finish with the win decided in the final feet.

Ron Masters jumped out front to lead the first couple of laps, before last weeks winner Chad Small

II blew by. Small put the hammer down in his Chad’s Automotive Honda and built a seemingly safe lead. Fast qualifier Gary Eaton Jr. closed the gap and caught Small but ran out of laps and had to settle for second, as Small made it two in a row.

The modified feature started out with Rob Schaeff leading the first lap, before last weeks winner Buck Purtee picked up the top spot. Purtee was dialed in again as he set sail for the win. But meanwhile back in the back, Stapleton was making his way to the front in his Stapleton Tool and Machine/Springhill Auto Parts sponsored openwheeler. Stapleton, who was also fast qualifier, passed Purtee on lap 22 and bagged his third win in three starts eight laps later. Bill Burba got by Purtee to finish second, with Purtee third, Brad Williams fourth and Brad Yelton. Gregg Jackson won the dash, with Yelton posting the heat win.

The Bill Hostetler Classic will be held for the dwarf cars Saturday.

The late models, modifieds, street stock, compacts, and Pro 4’s will also be on the schedule. Racing will start at 7.

from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Allmendinger wins Nationwide race ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (AP) — Team owner Roger Penske gave AJ Allmendinger a second chance.

Now they both have a trophy to show for it — and, perhaps, the foundation of a rebuilt racing career.

Allmendinger took the lead from Justin Allgaier with seven laps to go in regulation, then didn’t get rattled through a late restart and two nervetesting green-whitecheckered overtime finishes, holding on to win Saturday’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Road America.

Afterward, he expressed appreciation for Penske, the team owner who originally let him go last season after he was suspended for violating NASCAR’s substance abuse policy.

“It’s just meant the world to me,” Allmendinger said. “This was the only way I could repay him. I was trying so hard out there — and, at times, probably over-trying.”

Allgaier finished second, followed by Parker Kligerman, Owen Kelly and Sam Hornish Jr. Allgaier won a road course race at Montreal last season but still tipped his cap to Allmendinger’s road racing skills.

“I’m still not a road racer, I can assure you of that,” Allgaier said. “Just watching AJ in front of me and seeing some of the places he was able to get away from me on that last green-white-

checkered, I still have some stuff to learn.”

Allmendinger’s It’s first win in NASCAR, but not his first at Road America. He won at the four-mile road course in Central Wisconsin in 2006, racing in the Champ Car Series.

“It’s my favorite track now,” Allmendinger said.

Billy Johnson led on a restart with eight to go, but he slid wide in Turn 5 and was passed by Allgaier and Allmendinger.

Allmendinger then made the decisive move one lap later, snatching the lead from Allgaier at the top of the hill in Turn 6.

He’d have to defend his lead on three more restarts, fending off a charge from Allgaier with three laps to go and then facing two green-whitecheckered finishes — NASCAR’s version of overtime.

Allmendinger once again took the lead, only to watch another caution come out for Michael Annett’s accident to trigger a second overtime.

With drivers facing concerns about having enough fuel left on the second green-whitecheckered restart, Allmendinger held on again to take the checkered flag and stop in Turn 5 to celebrate in front of the fans.

Allmendinger even had enough fuel left to do a celebratory burnout.

“They weren’t fun,” Allmendinger said of all the restarts. “I had a lot of thoughts in my head about how bad that (stunk) having to do that.

But it’s part of the rules.”

Regan Smith finished 32nd and leads the Nationwide Series standings by 28 points over Allgaier.

Defending race winner Nelson Piquet Jr. then had a rough moment before the race’s halfway point, plowing into the back of Brian Scott’s car.

Piquet’s hood crumpled in the crash, costing him any chance of contention.

Allmendinger then retook the lead on lap 26, bumping his way past Kelly on the exit of Turn 5. Allmendinger pulled away and quickly built a lead of more than two seconds — and then Kelly lost second place when he came to a stop on the back side of the track, apparently out of fuel. After getting a push back to the pits from a safety vehicle, Kelly was able to get back in the race.

Most of the leaders then pitted with 19 laps to go — right at the outer edge of most teams’ fuel windows, making it unclear whether they had enough to make it to the end.

Meanwhile, Kenny Habul caused a moment of levity when he veered off course on the restart and collected a large advertising sign, which stuck to his nose for the better part of a lap before another caution came out.

The win was a big step for Allmendinger, whose racing career took a wrong turn last year when he failed a NASCAR drug test, resulting in a suspension and the loss of his ride at Penske Racing.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, June 25, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Relatives and family members might be camped out on your sofa. Have patience. Many of you also are enjoying family reunions.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The next month is rocky for transportation. Car problems, delays, flat tires and missed buses will be par for the course. Allow extra time for wiggle room.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Checks will be late in the mail, and financial matters could be delayed now and for the next few weeks. Just grin and bear it.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It's easy to forget things now -- keys, books and papers -- because Mercury is retrograde in your sign. This lasts for several weeks, so just accept it.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) For the next month, your ability to dig up old answers from the past will be better than usual. It's as if you're able to go back in time and find what you need to know.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Old friends are back in your life again.

This could be horrific, or it could be a wonderful chance to catch up on past histories and gossip.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Many of you will encounter old authority figures from your past now and in the next few weeks. This is a good time to finish old business that needs approval from others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Travel plans might be delayed or canceled in the next several weeks as retrograde Mercury wreaks havoc with your plans. If you must travel, then go someplace you've been before.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) It's an excellent time to wrap up old business about inheritances, debt, shared property, insurance matters and taxes during the next month.

You'll find loose details that usually escape you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Ex-partners might be back in your life again. This is either an unwelcome experience or an opportunity for closure.

Your choice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your efficiency at work definitely will suffer in the next month because of lost paperwork, goofy mistakes or mixed-up communication. Just accept this and give yourself extra time to do everything.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Ex-lovers and old flames might be back in your life again. (This could be exciting -- or not.) People in the arts can finish their projects with ease now.

YOU BORN TODAY Your originality is one of the most captivating things about you. Others are intrigued with your conceptions. You're visual in your concepts and sometimes can make your dreams come true. You're a strong nurturer with both family and friends.

Many of you have excellent money savvy. Your year ahead will be the beginning of a fresh, exciting cycle. Open any door!

Supreme Court has range of options on gay marriage are some technical issues that could get in the way of a significant ruling.

Q. What happens if the court upholds Section 3 of DOMA, defining marriage for purposes of federal law as the union of a man and a woman?

A. Upholding DOMA would not affect state laws regarding marriage but would keep in place federal statutes and rules that prevent legally married gay Americans from receiving a range of benefits that are otherwise available to married people.

These benefits include breaks on estate taxes, health insurance for spouses of federal workers and Social Security survivor benefits.

Q. What if the court strikes down the DOMA provision?

A. A ruling against DOMA would allow legally married gay couples or, in some cases, a surviving spouse in a same-sex marriage, to receive benefits and tax breaks resulting from more than 1,000 federal statutes in which marital status is relevant. For 83-year-old Edith Windsor, a New York widow whose case is before the court, such a ruling would give her a refund of $363,000 in estate taxes that were paid after the death of her spouse, Thea Spyer. The situation could become complicated for people who get married where same-sex unions are legal, but who live or move where they are not.

Q. What procedural problems could prevent the court from reaching a decision about DOMA? A. As in the Proposition 8 case, there are questions about whether the House Republican leadership has standing to bring a court case to defend the law because the Obama administration decided not to.

House Republicans argue that the administration forfeited its right to participate in the case because it changed its position and now argues that the provision is unconstitutional.

If the Supreme Court finds that it does not have the authority to hear the case, Windsor probably would still get her refund because she won in the lower courts, but there would be no definitive decision about the law from the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest court and it would remain on the books. It is possible the court could leave in place appeals court rulings covering seven states with same-sex marriage: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Follow Mark Sherman on Twitter: http://twitter.com/shermancourt

BY MIKE SCHNEIDER The Associated Press SANFORD, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The six jurors and four alternates who will hear opening statements Monday in George Zimmermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s murder trial are beginning their time together in a sequestered bubble: They wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return to their homes for weeks, contact with family and friends will be limited, and Internet and phone usage is restricted.

Court officials are keeping mum about the details of the jury sequestration, which began this weekend.

But if past cases are any example, the Zimmerman jurors wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to tweet or blog. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll read only newspapers that have been censored of anything dealing with the case. They will do almost everything together as a group. In

their hotel rooms, TV news channels will be inaccessible and landline telephones likely will be removed. Deputies will keep the jurorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cellphones and give them back once a day so they can call loved ones and friends.

Planting and caring for trees is an everyday activity for the EO students. On the other hand, the DDPT students work daily with one of trees primary products — paper. Ralph Ash, DDPT level ll instructor, makes sure his students understand the value of reforestation, and agrees with Paul

Foster, founder of the “Print Grows Trees” educational campaign, that print is the green option when compared to digital correspondence, bill paying, and banking.

“All the electronic devices required to view nonpaper correspondence and records use electricity which is fueled by nonrenewable resources,” Ash said.

The DDPT students are counting on careers in an industry that continues to adapt in a digital age. According to those involved with the “Print Grows Trees” campaign, the American jobs lost to e-publishing impacts industries be-

yond the press operators and papers mills. The DDPT students spread the “Print Grows Trees” message by silk-screening campaign artwork on T-shirts shared with their EO counterparts.

Both groups were undaunted by the mud and chill as they worked together to plant 50 trees in Willowbrook preserve.

Ash hopes to expand the partnership with the EO program and his students’ involvement with Print Grows Trees.

“Printing jobs haven’t been outsourced and aren’t going away. This is a solid career path with long-term potential,” he said.

Edison president selected to serve on national commission PIQUA — Edison Community College President Dr. Cristobal Valdez recently accepted appointment to the American Association of Community College’s Commission on Academic, Student, and DevelopCommunity ment. His three-year term as a commissioner begins July 1.

The American Association of Community College is the primary advocacy organization for community colleges at the national level and works closely with directors of state offices to inform and affect state policy. The AACC Board has authorized six commissions, consisting of approximately 24 individuals nationwide, to provide guidance to the AACC Board and staff.

“Dr. Valdez’s appointment to the commission of the American Association of Community Colleges will put him in a

position to be a national advocate for community colleges,” said James Thompson, chairman of Edison Community College Board of Trustees.

In addition to accepting appointment as a commissioner, Valdez has also recently been elected to serve on the Executive Committee for the Ohio Association of Community Colleges as vice chair-elect beginning July 1. Every two years the OACC Governing Board elects four trustees and four presidents to serve as officers of the Association’s Executive Committee.

This election positions Valdez to become the subsequent Vice Chair of the OACC beginning July 2015.

“Dr. Valdez is a true rising star in community college leadership in Ohio and I look forward to working with him as the vice chair and our colleagues on the critical issues to help our

institutions and, most importantly, our students,” said Dr. Ron Abrams, president of the Ohio Association of Community Colleges.

“Dr. Valdez’s recent election as vice chair-elect to the Ohio Association of Community Colleges additionally conveys this high regard and acknowledgement of Valdez’s respect in the area of higher education,” said Thompson. “The Board of Trustees is pleased that Dr. Valdez is a local, state and national leader in promoting college completion and encouraging student success.”

“I look forward to working diligently with colleagues to fulfill my duties as a representative of community colleges on both a national and state level while also representing Edison and its mission to create a better connection with the communities it serves,” said Valdez.

Bats play key roles in ecosystems around the globe, from rain forests to deserts. They eat insects, including some that can cause lots of damage to farms and crops. They pollinate plants and they scatter seed. Studies of bats have contributed to medical advances, including the development of navigational aids for the blind.

Unfortunately, many local populations of bats have been destroyed and many species are now endangered. The best protection we can offer these unique mammals is to learn more about their habits and recognize the value of living safely with them. A good website to learn about bats is www.batcon.org.

When people think about bats, they often imagine things that are not true.

Bats are not blind. They aren’t rodents and they aren’t birds. They will not suck your blood — and most bats do not have rabies. Because bats are mammals, they can develop rabies, but most do not have the disease. You can’t tell if a bat has rabies just by looking at it; rabies can be confirmed only by having the animal tested in a laboratory. So be safe; never handle a bat.

Human rabies acquired within the U.S. is rare. But most cases in the past 20 years were due to bat-strains of rabies. Here, in Shelby County, the last two animals tested positive for rabies were bats. The Sidney-Shelby County Health Department receives a number of calls every year about bats in people’s houses. This situation puts your family and your pets in potential contact with an animal that could be rabid. health officials said. Since a bat bite is very small and may go undetected, the history of any potential bat contact should be carefully evaluated by our staff to determine if exposure occurred. If it did, the bat should be safely captured and submitted to our office for testing.

Children should be taught to never touch any wild animal, bats included.

Teach the child to back away and call an adult. How do you determine what should be done with a bat found inside your house? If it is reasonably certain that no one was bitten, scratched or handled the bat, using proper catching techniques, it can safely released outside. If a window is open, it will many times fly out on its own. If any of the following occur, it is best to try to catch the

bat and have it sent in to be tested for rabies: • A person or child is known to have been bitten, scratched, or had bat saliva around mucous membranes or broken skin. Anybody handling it without protection can be exposed. Any person who says the bat “hit” them or had the bat land on them, may have been bitten or scratched.

• The bat was in a room with a sleeping person.

• The bat is found in proximity to an unattended child who is not able to describe what happened.

• The bat is found in a room with an individual under the influence of alcohol or drugs or with other sensory or mental impairment.

• The bat is found in a closed room with a family pet, especially if it is already dead. Chances are, the pet may have killed it and was exposed.

Call the Health Department if you need help in determining if a bat should be tested. It is always better to test than go through post exposure shots.

The recommended way to catch a live bat in a building is: • Wear heavy leather work gloves and avoid direct skin contact with the bat; avoid damage to the bat’s head.

• Confine the bat to one room (close the windows, the room doors and closet doors).

• Turn on lights if the room is dark.

• Wait for the bat to land.

• Cover the bat with a coffee can or similar container.

• Slide a piece of stiff cardboard under the can, trapping the bat.

• Tape the cardboard tightly to the can.

• If necessary, use a net or long pole with a piece of duct tape (sticky side out) to capture bat.

• Do not use a glue board for capture as the bat cannot be easily removed for rabies testing.

• Immediately contact the local health department to arrange for rabies examination of the bat if a human or pet exposure has occurred.

• Release the bat if it’s determined there was no reasonable probability of human or pet exposure.

It is best to try to prevent bats getting into houses or any building where people sleep, such as a resident camp. Contact a licensed pest-control operator if you have bats in your house or building.

Eliminating bats must be done at certain times of the day and year. Killing them is not recommended. Learn more about bats at www.batcon.org.

Ladybugs have black legs, head and antennae.

Lady Bugs Life Stages The ladybug, like all beetles, undergoes a complete metamorphosis during its life.

The life stages of a ladybug are: eeg--> larva--> pupa--> adult.

Femail ladybugs lay tiny eggs, usually laid in a small mass (fertilization is internal). The larvae that hatches from the egg is small and long and has 6 legs. As it rapidly grows, the

larva molts (sheds its skin) several times. After reaching full size, the larvae attaches itself to a plant leaf or stem (by its “tail”). The larval skin then splits down the back, exposing the pupa. The pupa is about the size of the adult but is all wrapped up, protecting the ladybug while it undergoes metamorphosis into its adult stage. This last stage in the metamorphosis takes a few days.

* There are over 5,000 species of Ladybugs (ladybirds) * Ladybugs will bite if you squeeze them - but it will not hurt. * Lady bug stats and fact: Length is 1 to 10mm (0.04 to 0.4 inches) Habitat: Fields and gardens.

Ladybugs...

Ladybugs are among the most familiar beetles, easily recognized by their round, often spotted bodies, less than 1/16-3/8” long. Most are shiny red, orange, or yellow with black markings, or black with red or yellow markings. Both adults and larvae are predators, mostly of aphids. They are common on plants and often over-winter as adults in large swarms under fallen leaves or bark. In the west swarms of Ladybugs are distasteful to predators. When disturbed, they may secrete an odorous, distasteful fluid out of their joint to discourage enemies. Did you ever see a little red and black beetle crawling along your window sill?

It was probably a Lady Beetle or just a Ladybug as most people call them. Most species of Ladybugs are among our most beneficial insects as they consume huge numbers of plant feeding pest insects, mostly aphids. This fact and their attractive appearance have contributed to the generally good opinion of Ladybugs by most people. For instance, the French call the Ladybugs les betes du bon Dieu or creatures of God. Ladybugs belong to the beetle family Coccinellidae which means Little sphere. There are probably 4,000 species found world-wide and over 350 in North America.
