A historic boost Supreme Court rules on federal benefits for married gay couples

BY MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — In a historic day for gay rights, the Supreme Court gave the nation’s legally married gay couples equal federal footing with all other married Americans on Wednesday and also

cleared the way for same-sex marriages to resume in California.

In deciding its first cases on the issue, the high court did not issue the sweeping declaration sought by gay rights advocates that would have allowed same-sex couples to marry anywhere in the

country. But in two rulings, both by bare 5-4 majorities, the justices gave gay marriage supporters encouragement in confronting the nationwide patchwork of laws that outlaw such unions in roughly three dozen states. supporters Gay-rights cheered and hugged outside

the court. Opponents said they mourned the rulings and vowed to keep up their fight.

In the first of the narrow rulings in its final session of the term, the court wiped away part of a federal antigay marriage law, the Defense of Marriage Act, that has kept See COURT/Page 5

I’m soaked!

Audrey Evans, 7, of Sidney, is caught unprepared by a water-soaked sponge ball during a game at First United Methodist Church's Kingdom Rock Vacation Bible School Wednesday. Kids were thrown a dry ball and a wet one. The object of the game was to dodge the wet ball and catch the dry one. Audrey is the daughter of Amy and Nate Evans.

Sidney City Council members heard a report on the large number of vacant properties in the city during their meeting Monday evening and discussed levying a tax against those that sit empty.

The report was in response to an April council meeting during which the issue of registration of foreclosures, rental and vacant properties was discussed. Following that meeting, an analysis of vacant properties in Sidney was conducted and Barbara Dulworth, community services director for the city, reported on the findings.

Dulworth told council members that “this information (on vacant residences) is not 100 percent accurate,” noting it was based on information from foreclosures and U.S. Postal Service informa-

tion on vacant properties.

Ginger Gehret, geographic information system (GIS) technician for the city, completed the study, which Dulworth said, took 58.2 hours to finish.

Dulworth stated that the city also looked at properties using less than 2 cubic feet of water per month for the first half of 2013, and they were added to the foreclosures and Postal Service data. The city has been tracking foreclosure information since 2008. While there is no one neighborhood in Sidney where vacant homes are “exceptionally high,”Dulworth said, the data showed there are currently 1,074 vacant homes in Sidney. There are a larger number of vacant homes in more densely populated residential areas located south of downtown. Out of the vacant units, 111 are mobile homes in an See VACANT/Page 18

Currently, the Lima Backpack Program relies completely on revenues raised by the West Ohio Food Bank through private donations, grants, and partial United Way funding. The program is currently able to serve only 4 percent of the children who qualify for free and reduced lunch.

“We want to thank the local organizations, volunteers and customers who participated in this campaign and work to support their communities year round,” said Julie Gehrki, senior director of the Walmart Foundation. “Through their efforts, we can bring attention to the need local communities experience during the spring months and help fill the gap by providing ways for customers to generate millions of meals and volunteer.”

Lightning Safety Awareness Week underway COLUMBUS — In an annual coordinated effort with the National Weather Service, the Ohio Committee for Severe Weather Awareness promotes June 23-29 as Lightning Safety Awareness Week and encourages all Ohioans to know what to do before, during and after thunderstorms, and to practice severe weather safety and preparedness throughout the summer.

According to the National Weather Service (NWS), as of June 9, there had been seven lightning fatalities this year: two in Florida; two in Illinois; and one each in Louisiana, Missouri and Texas. All were outside; four were in or near bodies of water. A total of 28 people in 17 states died of lightning strikes in 2012, including an Ohio man who was doing yard work at the time.

Although the number of lightning fatalities continues to decrease over the years, lightning strikes continue to be one of the top three storm-related killers in the United States. It is important to note that lightning injures more people than it kills. The best protection from lightning is to avoid the threat. Performing this simple measure can dramatically reduce the chance of severe injury or death during a storm: When thunder roars, go indoors! Stop outdoor activities and seek shelter immediately.

Summertime is peak season for thunderstorm activity in Ohio. Preparedness for thunderstorms – or any severe weather incident – is key. Be Informed. Know what to do before, during and after severe weather. For thunder and lightning safety tips, click on: www.ready.gov/thunderstorms-lightning Make a plan. Develop a disaster plan to respond to all hazards, including thunderstorms and lightning. Sign up for first aid or CPR courses. Practice disaster plans by conducting safety drills.

Build a kit. Organize or restock emergency supply kits for the home and vehicle to be prepared for any incident.

The NWS and Ohio Committee for Severe Weather Awareness also suggest the following lightning safety measures: Watch for developing thunderstorms – Thunderstorms are most likely to develop on spring or summer days, but can also occur at night and during any season. Listen to local weather reports on radio or television stations.

Know the difference between storm watches

and warnings. Purchase a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert that notifies when hazardous weather is in or near your area.

Seek shelter before an approaching thunderstorm – Lightning can strike as far as 10 miles away from where it’s raining. If you can hear thunder, you are within striking distance.

Seek immediate shelter.

Stay indoors for 30 minutes after hearing the last rumble of thunder.

Continue to listen to a NOAA Weather Radio or local TV or radio newscasts for weather updates.

Protect your pets – Outside dog houses are not lightning-safe. Dogs that are chained to trees or wire runners have no protection from lightning. Bring your pets inside during thunderstorms.

Minimize your risk – Most lightning strikes occur during the summer when people are participating in outdoor recreational activities.

At the first clap of thunder, stop outdoor activities and try to find indoor shelter immediately. If swimming, boating or fishing, get away from the water as quickly as possible. Find shelter in a substantial building (such as a home, school, office building or shopping center) or a hard-topped vehicle. Picnic shelters, ports, baseball car dugouts and convertible vehicles are not safe shelters during thunder and lightning storms.

Do not use electrical equipment. Stay away from water/plumbing sources. Wait at least 30 minutes after the last sound of thunder before going outside again.

Helping someone struck by lightning – If a person is struck by lightning, call 911 and seek immediate medical attention. A lightning victim does not carry an electrical charge and is safe to touch. Knowing and implementing first aid measures, which include cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), can help a person struck by lightning survive. Local American Red Cross chapters and fire departments often offer first aid and CPR classes.

For additional information on lightning safety, visit the Ohio Committee for Severe Weather Awareness site a t www.weathersafety.ohio .gov or the NWS site at www.lightningsafety.noa a.gov. OCSWA is comprised of 14 organizations and state agencies that are dedicated in teaching Ohioans severe weather safety and preparedness.

Symposium features students Students recently participated in The University of Findlay’s Symposium for Scholarship and Creativity. The annual event provides undergraduate and graduate students an opportunity to share their research, creativity and professional learning experiences with the University and the community.

WALK

From Page 1

Imagine my delighted surprise to receive a phone call from Air Show Sheila from the Vectren Dayton Air Show asking, “How would you like to wing walk?”

I was intrigued.

Then she asked if I would like to sky dive.

“No,” I promptly replied, “that’s just crazy.” But sign me up for the wing walking, baby.

Being a big fat chicken, I surprised myself at the constant state of excitement the mere thought of zipping through the skies tethered to the top of a biplane evoked. Historically speaking, not too many people have had the privilege of experiencing flight from such a unique perspective and I simply couldn’t wait. Fear of heights: check. Inherent klutz: check. Parental and co-worker opposition: check.

Jane, of Jane Wicker Airshows, generously volunteered her beautifully restored 1941 Stearman for a walk on the wild side (seriously, this is as wild as I get). Jane was one of the two people that died when the plane she was wing walking on crashed at the Dayton Air Show.

Beautifully painted in yellow and red sunburst wings, the biplane was meticulously restored and given a 450 HP soupedup motor. Named the Aurora for the Roman goddess of the sunrise, her maintenance is impeccable and was a visible source of pride of her owner and crew.

Barnstorming began in the 1920s when returning World War I aviators found another way to stay in the sky. Adding aerobatics to racing, the veterans found a thrilling way to stay employed and travel the country, stopping in rural settings.

As crowds gathered at the farms to watch, the term, “barnstorming,” was coined. Pilots would offer joy rides, but as the novelty wore off, they realized that doing crazier flying would attract more audience. The pilots would employ tactics culled from their military combat experience and the wing walkers adapted their routines to amaze the crowds.

Eventually World War II and jet-propelled engines changed the face of air show performances and barnstorming fell away.

Now we have solarpaneled planes, and jet travel is common. But yet — what would it be like to fly with the birds, away from the crowds, and experience what it might have been like decades ago?

Thanks to Jane Wicker, pilot Charlie Schwenker, mechanic (and fiance of Jane) Rock Skowbo, pilot Bill Gordon, and ferry pilot Brian

SIDNEY NATIVE Kris Nuss (left) talks with Charlie Schwenker and Jane Wicker at the Dayton Air Show Friday. Schwenker and Wicker were killed on Saturday when their plane crashed during a stunt. Nuss was covering the show for Fox19 in Cincinnati.

Rosenstein, I was gifted with a spectacular opportunity to experience on a tiny, tiny level what a barnstormer might try.

To suit up, I needed pants, long-sleeved shirt, no high heels, and borrowed goggles and leather hat. Fatty had every intention of losing 10 pounds before the flight (both to look good and not put undue pressure on the poor Aurora), but that didn’t happen.

I told myself to stretch before hand, but predictably forgot. I also told myself to mimic the “O-HI-O” while airborne, but Fatty forgot about that, as well. Charlie and Jane showed me how to climb aboard the wing without splitting my pants, balance on the back rest of the front seat, then slide through the wires, easing from the bottom wing onto the top, then turn around and place my feet on the tiny foot rest, while leaning against the back rest.

Jane nimbly climbed up behind me and oh so casually stood in front of me on the top wing and showed me how to buckle in.

“Here, let’s show you how to do it and practice, just in case it comes undone in the air,” she said casually. What?

Charlie and I wouldn’t have any contact in the air, just as he and Jane used hand gestures (thumbs up, thumbs down) as the only form of communication. Because that’s how they roll.

Any advice? “Just waaave to the crowd, and have fun!”

At this point in time, I still couldn’t quite grasp how trusting Jane was to let a member of the unwashed masses stand atop her glorious plane.

Not gonna lie, I rather doubt I would find the courage to let some stranger stand on my baby. I knew what a privilege this was. Yet she was so carefree, and genuinely wanted to allow someone who would normally never have this opportunity to experience it, full throttle.

Standing atop the plane, centered on the support pole, I joked with the crew and people gathered below, excited beyond belief to be off. I had no reservations, no queasiness (thank you Dramamine), no second thoughts.

Charlie was an aerobatics award-winning pilot. He also flew for the Flying Circus in Bealeton,Va., and was Jane’s pilot for her air shows. He

while driving 80 mph.

Now picture your whole body.

The wind was fierce, but it was time to let go. I tentatively stuck an arm out. Then another. Admittedly, I was afraid to move my feet lest I not be able to get them planted back on the foot rest. I grew up with horses and always rode bareback, so I gripped the pole between my thighs as though I were still riding. Silly, but a habit I simply couldn’t break. The urge to grasp the wires behind me was tempting for some strange reason, and I had to reach behind to hold the pole for my chicken support. Not real adventurous of me, I realize, but there you have it. Coward at heart.

The drone of the motor was loud, the wind was fierce, and the temperatures chilly. It was very difficult to turn my head or keep my arms extended for long, and I had no sense of direction and couldn’t locate a single landmark. I was at the mercy of the pilot, whom I trusted with my life (and I liked Charlie a lot; he was good guy) and once the fear of m “I have no business being here” finally waned, I fully gave myself over to the joy of flight. I was enraptured. I was free. I was cold, but I was free.

Thanks to Jane and Charlie, I now fully understand the poem, “High Flight,” by John Magee. I paraphrase, but I truly felt I touched the hand of God. Very few people will believe or understand this, and most of you will think I’m high (never did drugs, for the record) but strange as this sounds, at one point the wind stopped clawing at me.

The motor’s roar stilled. I was suspended in a peculiar time and place, where I felt the presence of, well, quite frankly, my grandparents and guardian angel slightly behind me on either side. And I felt their happiness and approval. For just a moment, I felt the ethereal presence of those who at one time loved and pro-

tected me, as if they were physically at my back.

Call me nuts, as my last name means in German, but there you go.

All good things must wind down, and admittedly my body was slightly fatigued. I could feel the temperature warm as we descended further and further, gently, and with great reluctance.

After we came to a halt and I slid out of the harness, through the wings, gently caressing Aurora in a silent “thank you” on my way down, the first thing that greeted my feet on solid ground was a hug from Charlie.

Don’t think what I did was brave; my fingers were bloodless and not from the chill of the air, if you get my drift. Jane did this all the time, and most of it without a safety harness.

The hardest part of her routine was getting out of the plane after it takes off. In essence, she crawled out of her front seat into 100-mph winds (imagine walking through a hurricane).

One of her crew members piped up that she had a bug on her cheek once.

Jane laughingly relayed that once, a bug had hit her cheek, leaving behind a perfect wing pattern splatter.

Her favorite maneuver was inverted sitting.

“It’s the only time in my act that I get to sit down and it’s always a different view. Once, we were near a carnival and I could actually smell the cotton candy.” Inverted sitting — you know the one: the plane is flying upside down, and she crawls out onto the wing and sits and waves at the crowd.

As told by Charlie, she’s the “best one (wing walker) I know. I feel very comfortable with her out on my wing.”

Someone in the back muttered, “You’re craaaazy!”

She laughingly replied, “Sanity is boring! I’m living my life and having fun.”

I must’ve had a peculiar look on my face, so she elaborated with a shrug, “Straight level is boring.”

Charlie nodded emphatically. Then she gestured to him. “He does rolls on take off and they call me crazy.”

Their routine included loops, rolls, Cuban eights, hammerheads, half rolls, inverted rolls with her sitting on the wing.

Turning to Charlie, I asked if he’d ever wanted to wing walk. An emphatic “No.” Gesturing towards the air show grounds, I asked which of the planes gathered here would he like to take for a joy ride, and he grinned hugely, “I wanna

fly ‘em all!”

When asked what he enjoys most about his job, he replied, “Just flying. If she shows up in high heels, we can’t go up.”

That elicited a round of laughter from the group, but Jane picked up the gauntlet and explained that she actually needs a specific type of shoe to wing walk. The tread has to be just right, not too thick, so she can feel what she’s doing, but not so thin as to take away traction. She walked us over to the wing and she and Charlie explained the width of her path, an extremely small space, lest she step through the wing.

When I told my dad (former Air Force) I was invited to wing walk, he laughed, not believing me. I told my Mom and I quote, “NO, NO, NO, NO, (seriously, it was all caps) I forbid it!” You know how well that turned out.

I asked Jane how she told her parents about her decision to wing walk.

“Oh,” she chuckled, “I didn’t tell my parents until after I first wing walked. I walked in and told them, ‘I just want you to know I’m fine’ and showed them the tape.

There was a pause, then Dad walked out, not saying a word. Mom kept muttering, ‘oh my, oh my’ but then she was proud of me, and would tell all her friends.”

Did her mind ever wander up there? “I do let my mind wander — until it’s time to dive and do loops. Then it’s focus, focus, focus. But there are times when I can relax and enjoy the view.”

Charlie and Jane were living examples of how to live your life right. “You gotta love what you do,” she insisted while Charlie nodded his agreement.

“Life is too short. You have to have fun!”

Perhaps my favorite part of the conversation: “Pssh. I’m not defying death. I’m living my life!”

Author note: I debated furiously with myself whether or not to turn in this story. I did because I truly believe Charlie and Jane would want me to.

To them I say, I thank you for your trust in me. I thank you for the splendid gifts you gave me. My heart bleeds for your families and friends and I wish you sweet, sweet peace. Have fun flying with the angels my friends.

I quote the same good friend whose email began this story: “If only all of us could do the thing we really loved to do, it would be a happier world. While we feel badly for the families, we should be inspired by how Jane and Charlie lived their lives.”

Touch the other hand of God for me, guys — Kris

Ohio wants more power to stem lake algae COLUMBUS (AP) — State officials would have more power to stem the spread of toxic algae caused by pollution runoff from farms under a bill now in the Legislature.

Changes to state law proposed in the Senate bill introduced this week would give the Ohio Department of Natural Resources the authority to cite farmers if rain washes too much fertilizer off their

fields. It also would require farmers to undergo training and receive a certificate from the Ohio Department of Agriculture before spreading fertilizer.

Another provision would keep the public from seeing an individual farmer’s fertilizer and manure management plans to protect any sensitive information, The Columbus Dispatch reported Wednesday.

15 off any phone

The bill’s sponsor, Sen. Cliff Hite, said he will seek comment from farmers and farm businesses over the summer.

But the Republican from Findlay says state law changes might be necessary to reduce the toxic blue-green algae that appear in Lake Erie, Grand Lake St. Marys and other Ohio lakes each summer. The algae affect the health of aquatic wildlife and

public safety and put billions of dollars received annually from tourism at risk, officials have said.

“This is a huge concern,” Hite said.

Blue-green algae grow thicker when feeding on phosphorus in fertilizers, manure and sewage washed into streams by rain. The algae produce liver and nerve toxins that can sicken people and kill pets and wildlife.

took superb care of me as we gently eased our way through the back lot of parked planes, past FiFi (B-29) on the runway next to us, then set us up at end of the runway.

Imagine my unease, strapped to the top of a biplane, waiting…waiting… waiting… for our turn to take off. I felt awkward up there, not knowing where to put my hands. Couldn’t have a conversation with Charlie. Checked my pockets to make sure I didn’t have any loose change. Awkward. We were at the mercy of an inbound commuter jet. I waved to the passengers as they came in, wondering if I looked fat up there.

Finally, tower granted us takeoff. The Aurora purred, then roared beneath me, tickling my feet. I wanted to put my arms out but had a worry that they might get ripped off on takeoff. As we gained speed and my facial cheeks flapped in the wind (the lower cheeks were clenched), I couldn’t contain the gasp of pure exhilaration. I glanced about wildly, desperately trying to draw it all in. The ground fell away at an alarmingly fast rate, the skyline tilted and I squealed with unparalleled delight. Ascending into the heavens on top of a plane was breathtaking and awe inspiring. I could think of nothing but “thank you, thank you, thank you” to Jane.

But then I soon thought, “Why are we not leveling out?” Up, up. On the heels of that, I thought, “I have made a terrible, terrible mistake.”

I had every opportunity to let my arm fall back and give Charlie the thumbs down.

However that would be the cowardly, which obviously was unacceptable.

Once-in-a-lifetime gifts are not to be returned ungraciously.

We went up 1,500 feet (I think; someone said we were at 2,500, but I don’t think that’s correct) and flew around 80-90 mph.

Pardoned financier dies

TODAY IN HISTORY

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Thursday, June 27, the 178th day of 2013.

There are 187 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 27, 1963, President John F. Kennedy spent the first full day of a visit to Ireland, the land of his ancestors, stopping by the County Wexford home of his great-grandfather, Patrick Kennedy, who’d emigrated to America in 1848.

On this date: • In 1787, English historian Edward Gibbon completed work on his sixvolume work, “The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.”

• In 1844, Mormon leader Joseph Smith and his brother, Hyrum, were killed by a mob in Carthage, Ill. • In 1846, New York and Boston were linked by telegraph wires.

• In 1893, the New York stock market crashed.

• In 1922, the first Newberry Medal, recognizing excellence in children’s literature, was awarded in Detroit to “The Story of Mankind” by Hendrik Willem van Loon.

• In 1942, the FBI announced the arrests of eight Nazi saboteurs put ashore in Florida and Long Island, N.Y. (All were tried and sentenced to death; six were executed while two were spared for turning themselves in and cooperating with U.S. authorities.)

• In 1944, during World War II, American forces liberated the French port of Cherbourg from the Germans.

• In 1950, the U.N. Security Council passed a resolution calling on member nations to help South Korea repel an invasion from the North.

• In 1957, more than 500 people were killed when Hurricane Audrey slammed through coastal Louisiana and Texas.

• In 1977, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down state laws and bar association rules that prohibited lawyers from advertising their fees for routine services.

• In 1988, at least 56 people were killed when a commuter train ran into a stationary train at the Gare de Lyon terminal in Paris.

• In 1991, Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, the first black jurist to sit on the nation’s highest court, announced his retirement. (His departure led to the contentious nomination of Clarence Thomas to succeed him.)

OUT OF THE BLUE

OWN to air AMC, OLTL NEW YORK (AP) — “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” are returning to TV. Oprah Winfrey’s OWN network says it’s acquired the first 40 episodes of the daytime dramas’ revival on The Online Network.

They’ll air Monday through Thursday for a 10-week period beginning July 15.

In a statement Wednesday, OWN President Erik Logan said: “These shows have proven to be very popular with a significant, loyal fan base.”

When the two soaps were canceled by ABC in 2011, fans begged Winfrey to give them a second life on OWN. She responded by releasing a video message on her website saying she couldn’t save the shows because “there just are not enough people who are home in the daytime to watch them.”

A MAN reads a newspaper with the headline in Spanish “Snowden stuck at Moscow airport” in Quito, Ecuador, Wednesday. With Edward Snowden stuck in Moscow and Washington pushing hard for his return, many Ecuadoreans began realizing that this small country's deep economic ties with the U.S. could make it the one with the most to lose in the high-stakes international showdown over the National Security Agency leaker.

Snowden mystery deepens MOSCOW (AP) — Moscow’s main airport swarmed with journalists from around the globe Wednesday, but the man they were looking for, National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, was nowhere to be seen.

The mystery of his whereabouts only deepened a day after President Vladimir Putin said that Snowden was in the transit area of Sheremetyevo Airport.

There were ordinary scenes of duty free shopping, snoozing travelers and tourists sipping coffee but no trace of America’s most famous fugitive. If Putin’s statement is true, it means that Snowden has effectively lived a life of airport limbo since his weekend flight from Hong Kong, especially with his American passport now revoked by U.S. authorities.

Adding to the uncertainty, Ecuador’s foreign minister said it could take up to two months to decide whether to grant asylum to Snowden and the Latin American nation would take into consideration its relations with the U.S. Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino

compared Snowden’s case to that of Julian Assange, the founder of anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks, who has been given asylum in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London.

“It took us two months to make a decision in the case of Assange, so do not expect us to make a decision sooner this time,” Patino told reporters during a visit to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. However, later in the day he said on Twitter that the decision could happen “in a day, a week, or, as happened with Assange, it could take two months.”

Snowden, who is charged with violating American espionage laws, fled Hong Kong over the weekend and flew to Russia. He booked a seat on a Havana-bound flight Monday en route to Venezuela, but didn’t board the plane. His ultimate destination was believed to be Ecuador.

Ecuador’s President Rafael Correa shot back at critics on Wednesday, taking special aim at a Washington Post editorial that described him as “the autocratic leader of tiny, impoverished Ecuador” and accused

him of a double standard for considering asylum for Snowden while stifling critics at home.

“The shamelessness of the century: Washington Post accuses Ecuador of double standard,” Correa said on his Twitter page.

As a contractor for the NSA, Snowden gained access to documents that he gave to the Post and the Guardian to expose what he contends are privacy violations by an authoritarian government.

Correa complained that the international press “has managed to focus attention on Snowden and on those ‘wicked’ countries that ‘aid’ him, making us forget the terrible things against the U.S. people and the whole world that he denounced.”

An Associated Press reporter entered the transit area where Snowden is purportedly staying by flying from Kiev, Ukraine. It serves both connecting passengers traveling via Moscow to onward destinations and passengers departing from Moscow who have passed border and security checks.

Senate passes immigration bill WASHINGTON (AP) — Sweeping U.S. immigration legislation cruised toward passage in the Senate on Wednesday, but Republicans in the House of Representatives pursued a different approach that cracks down on millions living in the United States illegally rather than offering them a chance at citizenship.

Presidential politics took a more prominent role as Sen. Marco Rubio, a Republican and potential 2016 White House contender, tried to reassure fellow conservatives that many criticisms of the Senate bill, which he helped write in a rare bipartisan effort, are “just not true.”

The White House-backed Senate bill was on track for passage by Thursday or Friday.

President Barack Obama would like to have an immigration bill passed by Congress so he can point to a major legislative success in the first year of his second term.

Immigration is one area in which both

major political parties have managed to find common ground in a bitterly divisive Congress. Republicans turned to immigration reform after losing badly in last year’s presidential election as Obama benefited from a growing Hispanic vote.

The Senate legislation includes numerous steps to prevent future illegal immigration, while offering a chance at citizenship for millions living in the country illegally.

It provides for 20,000 new Border Patrol agents, requires the completion of 700 miles (1,226 kilometers) of fencing along the border with Mexico and requires an array of hightech devices be deployed to secure that border.

Businesses would be required to check on the legal status of prospective employees. The government would be ordered to install a high-tech system to check on the comings and goings of foreigners at selected international airports in the United States.

COURT legally married same-sex couples from receiving tax, health and pension benefits that are otherwise available to married couples.

Justice Anthony Kennedy, joined by the four liberal justices, said the purpose of the law was to impose a disadvantage and “a stigma upon all who enter into same-sex marriages made lawful by the unquestioned authority of the states.”

President Barack Obama praised the court’s ruling against the federal marriage act, labeling the law “discrimination enshrined in law.”

“It treated loving, committed gay and lesbian couples as a separate and lesser class of people,” Obama said in a statement. “The Supreme Court has righted that wrong, and our country is better off for it.”

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said he was disappointed in the outcome of the federal marriage case and hoped states continue to define

GENEVA (AP) — He was a wheeler-dealer pardoned by another consummate dealmaker, a working-class Jewish boy who left Belgium to escape the Nazis and rose to become the billionaire “King of Commodities.”

Marc Rich’s connections to the rich and powerful not only made him fabulously wealthy but when he was indicted for fraud, racketeering and tax evasion on a grand scale, they helped secure him a pardon from Bill Clinton, hours before the U.S. president left office.

That triggered a political firestorm from critics who alleged Rich bought his pardon through donations that his exwife had made to the Democratic Party.

Rich died Wednesday of a stroke at a hospital in Lucerne, near his home for decades. He was 78, and his Israel-based spokesman Avner Azulay said he would be buried Thursday in a kibbutz in Israel.

Throughout his storied career at the pinnacle of high finance, Rich was known as a man who could deliver the big deals thanks to personal relationships he had forged with powerful figures around the world.

Walmart drops Deen NEW YORK (AP) — Paula Deen lost another chunk of her empire on Wednesday.

WalMart Stores Inc. announced that it has ended its relationship with the Southern celebrity chef, part of the continuing fallout in the wake of revelations that she used racial slurs in the past.

The world’s largest retailer, based in Bentonville, Ark., currently carries a variety of products under her moniker, including food items, cookware and health and wellness products, at all of its 4,000 U.S. namesake stores.

The retailer began selling her merchandise several years ago.

“We will not place new orders beyond those already committed,” said Dave Tovar, a WalMart spokesman. “We will work with suppliers to address existing inventories and agreements.”

Tovar said the retailer is still working through the details with suppliers.

The severed ties with WalMart are the latest blow to Deen’s business. Meanwhile, Paula Deen’s name is being stripped from four buffet restaurants owned by Caesars. Caesars said Wednesday that its decision to rebrand its restaurants in Joliet, Ill.; Tunica, Miss.; Cherokee, N.C.; and Elizabether, Ind., was a mutual one with Deen.

From Page 1 marriage as the union of a man and a woman. Boehner, as speaker, had stepped in as the main defender of the law before the court after the Obama administration declined to defend it.

The other case, dealing with California’s constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, was resolved by an unusual lineup of justices in a technical legal fashion that said nothing about gay marriage. But the effect was to leave in place a trial court’s declaration that California’s Proposition 8 ban was unconstitutional. Gov. Jerry Brown quickly ordered that marriage licenses be issued to gay couples as soon as a federal appeals court lifts its hold on the lower court ruling. That will take least 25 days, the appeals court said.

California, where gay marriage was briefly legal in 2008, would be the 13th state, along with the District of Columbia, to allow same-sex couples to

marry and would raise the share of the U.S. population in gay marriage states to 30 percent. Six states have adopted same-sex marriage in the past year, amid a rapid evolution in public opinion that now shows majority support for the right to marry in most polls.

The 12 other states are Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.

The day’s rulings are clear for people who were married and live in states that allow same-sex marriage. They now are eligible for federal benefits.

The picture is more complicated for same-sex couples who traveled to another state to get married, or who have moved from a gay marriage state since being wed.

Their eligibility depends on the benefits they are seeking.

For instance, immigration law focuses on where people were married, not where they live.

But eligibility for Social Security survivor benefits basically depend on where a couple is living when a spouse dies.

This confusing array of regulations is reflected more broadly in the disparate treatment of gay couples between states. And the court’s decision did not touch on another part of the federal marriage law that says a state does not have to recognize a same-sex marriage performed elsewhere.

Indeed, the outcome of the cases had supporters of gay marriage already anticipating their next trip to the high court, which they reason will be needed to legalize same-sex unions in all 50 states.

The Human Rights Campaign’s president, Chad Griffin, said his goal is to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide within five years through a combination of ballot measures, court challenges and expansion of anti-discrimination laws.

LIMA — The West Ohio Food Bank has announced a major donation of $10,000 toward its goal of raising $120,000.00 to replace an industrial freezer and refrigeration units.

The donation was made by the Shelby County United Way. “The Shelby County United Way is pleased to partner with the West Ohio Food Bank in their capital campaign for the replacement of the freezer units. The WOFB is vital to the food pantries in Shelby County. Today, over 2 million pounds of food is distributed annually to residents of foodinsecure homes (in Shelby County). Just over 1 million pounds comes directly from the WOFB,” said UW executive director Scott S. Barr.

Gary Bright, CEO of the West Ohio Food Bank, said “What was especially encouraging about this gift was that the Shelby County United Way came to us unsolicited after seeing our recent internal newsletter article about the need. This shows their commitment to addressing the needs of their community. Without this type of support to help us replace such a vital piece of our operation, we just couldn’t function. Our distribution of food is so dependent on our ability to refrigerate and keep frozen many of the products that we provide to the 175-plus programs that come to us for help.”

Bright also said that “while major donations are important, the food bank is also looking toward the communities that we serve for support.

If we could get just 100 people, church classes, civic groups or clubs to donate just $1,200 dollars each, we can achieve this important goal and replace our 30-year-old refrigeration and freezer system.”

The freezer is capable of storing about 11 semitrailer loads of food, while the refrigerator can hold up to five semi-trailer loads of perishables. To donate, visit wofb.org and follow the prompts.

Sidney Daily News, Thursday, June 27, 2013

Garden club meets Sherry Scully and Ann Heeley were co-hostesses for the June meeting of the Rainbow Gardeners of Shelby County.

Scully used two varieties of orange roses and an assortment of orange tiger lilies in a decorated fan vase for the monthly arrangement. Stems were held in place by colorful, expandable water pellets.

Ginny Shaw and Mary Lou Overton reported that they pulled garlic mustard weeds at the Aullwood Audubon Nature Center and toured part of the Aull House for the Big Pull, an event organized by Hope Taft. The center is part of the Five Rivers Metroparks system in Dayton. Garlic mustard was brought in by early settlers and has become an invasive weed.

Jackie Thoma thanked those who patronized the Wounded Warriors dinner at the American Legion earlier this month. She reported that donations are still being accepted for this project.

The Shelby County Summer Garden Award entries will be judged at the end of June. The winner will receive a handcrafted garden ornament.

The Fair Flower Show committee announced that descriptions and ex-

amples of each of the artistic design categories are now posted on the club’s web page. The address is www.ShelbyCountyFocus.com/Rainbo wGardeners. The theme for this year’s artistic designs is “Travel DestinaNew carpet tion.” installation in the flower show booth areas was made possible through the generosity of Emerson Technologies, Climate Honda of America in Anna, and the Shelby County Fair Board, it was reported.

The Ohio Association of Garden Clubs Convention will take place Aug. 26-28 at the Maumee Bay State Park. The convention will feature tours, speakers, special programs on flower arranging, and a flower show.

Shaw told members how to check for clay soil: Take a handful of soil and squeeze it into a ball. If it gets sticky and shiny and dries rock hard, it is definitely composed of too much clay, and plants will not grow well. To loosen compacted clay soil, work in compost or cover with 4 inches of chunky mulch to allow air pockets to develop. As the mulch decomposes, the soil becomes much more amenable to planting.

Car show raises $3,100 PIQUA — The Cruizers for Christ Car Club raised $3,100 at its annual Classic Car, Truck and Motorcycle Benefit Show June 15 at Gover Harley Davidson in Piqua.

The goal of the Cruizers for Christ is to assist a family in need, and 100 percent of the amount raised goes directly to the designated family.

Recipients this year Doug and were Danielle Myers and their son, Aiden, 4, of Versailles. Aiden was diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex (TS) in 2008.

TS is a rare genetic disease that occurs through a mutation of one of two genes in the body that are responsifor restricting ble tumor growth.

Because of TS, Aiden’s body cannot prevent the formation of tumors, which are now affecting his brain, heart, kidneys, skin and eyes.

An onset of infantile

epilepsy, triggered by the impact of TS on his brain, may soon lead to the possibility of brain surgery for young Aiden.

The event featured participant-judged Top 30 trophies, a driver’s pot, door prizes, silent auction, bake sale, crafts and games for the kids.

More than 75 registered vehicles were on display, including racing cars, motorcycles and a monster truck brought in as part of Gover Harley Davidson’s Father’s Day celebration.

Aiden looked at the cars and designated one for the Aiden’s Choice Award.

That distinction went to a red, 1971 Chevy Nova owned by Mike Sell, of Urbana, who received his trophy from Aiden during the awards presentation at the end of the show.

The Myerses plan to use the funds raised to purchase a Noah bed.

Archdiocese creates Office of the New Evangelization CINCINNATI — The Archdiocese of Cincinnati has established an Office of the New Evangelization within the Department of EducaAter tional Services and appointed Sean Ater as its first director, starting Monday.

“This office will be charged with fostering a culture of evangelization amongst our parishes, schools, ministries, and central office functions for the Archdiocese,” said Dr. Jim Rigg, director of educational services and superintendent of Catholic schools.

“Through trainings, resources, and initiatives, this director will help promote a culture of evangelization that

should permeate throughout our department, our central offices, and into the parishes and ministries that we serve.”

The term “new evangelization” was popularized by Pope John Paul II. Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI made it a central focus of his Pontificate, creating a Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization and calling for a Synod on the New Evangelization in 2012. Pope Francis has continued the focus on the new evangelization calling the College of Cardinals to “search for new ways to evangelize” in his first meeting with them after his election.

“Evangelization has always been the central mission of the Church,” Ater said. “The church exists to evangelize. The ‘new’ in the New Evangelization calls the entire church to confidently and with a

Anna historical program set for Sunday ANNA — There will be an opportunity for local residents to hear about what the village of Anna was like for other generations during a special get-together soon.

According to Paul Workman of the Anna District Historical Society, a program titled “Focus on Anna: 1920s1940s: A Time to Share Memories About Anna” will be held Sunday from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at the Anna Community Public Library, 304 N. Second St. The event is open to the public, and there is no cost to attend.

The program will be moderated by Workman and Linda Glessner, who is also a member of the society, and it will offer an opportunity for local residents to hear about what the village was like during that era from those who lived there then. According to Workman, while there is no formal speaker. Phyllis

Gerkey, Ed Counts and Kay Billing will start the conversation by sharing stories about their memories of Anna in the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s. A letter from former Anna resident Phil Wilt will be shared. In the letter, Wilt named all of the homeowners and businesses from one end of Main Street to the other and he includes stories about his memories of those times.

It is hoped that the stories shared by the residents and former resident will create a conversation among those in attendance about their own memories of the village. In addition to the conversation, a collection of photographs of Anna in the early days will be available.

Similar programs are being planned to talk about Kettlersville and McCartyville. No date has been set for those programs.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, June 28, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be patient with siblings, neighbors and daily contacts today, because others are sensitive and might take issue with something you say. (Not everyone is as bold in his or her speech as you are.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Squabbles about possessions or money might erupt today. Keep in mind that this is a brief influence, and if you are patient, it will just pass away and be forgotten.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be patient in dealing with bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police today. You might lose it while talking to an authority figure. (How smart would that be?)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today, because people are argumentative. In fact, some are just looking for an excuse to fight.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a poor day to discuss issues regarding inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt, because people are too touchy. Postpone these discussions for the weekend or late next week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Lighten up and be tolerant with partners and close friends. Why fight or squabble? Anger serves no purpose except to make everyone miserable.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Remember your objective at work today. This means you will gain nothing by fighting with a co-worker. After all, you have to get along day after day, right?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Parents need to be patient with children today. Similarly, lovers need to be patient with romantic partners, because today it's easy to be irritated.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Avoid domestic squabbles by demonstrating grace under pressure. It takes only one in the family to promote good feelings, and that person can be you.

(Be a role model.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Rash actions or hasty words might get you in hot water today. Avoid airing your grievances with family members, because this is not the day to do it.

Mum's the word.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Think twice before you speak or do anything today, because your own feelings of irritation might trigger an accident. Lighten up and go with the flow.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Don't exaggerate your response to others or fall into victim mode today. (You know who you are.) Many people feel irritated and frustrated. And so it goes.

(But this is very brief. No biggie.)

YOU BORN TODAY You are witty and entertaining, in large measure, because you react to life with your emotions. You're all heart. When you want something, you go after it. You're a natural leader, and you like to be appreciated. You're likable because, in turn, you like people. Work hard to build and construct something in your year ahead, because your rewards soon follow.

Reds shut down by Griffin

BY JANIE MCCAULEY The Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker acknowledged the challenge of coming to Oakland for a two-game interleague series against a club his players hardly knew.

The Reds are plenty familiar with A.J. Griffin now, probably more so than they would like.

Griffin tossed a two-hitter to lead Oakland to a 5-0 victory Wednesday, dropping the Reds to 1-4 on their eightgame road trip ahead another tough stop at Texas this weekend.

“That’s the first time we’ve seen him and he was impressive. He was changing speeds, maybe a 20-22 mph differential on his fastball,” Baker said. “He had us eating out of his hand and chasing out of the strike zone.”

No matter how good Homer Bailey was, the Reds missed far too many chances again.

Devin Mesoraco singled with one out in the fifth for Cincinnati’s first hit. Xavier Paul added a two-out double in the seventh, but that was it for the Reds.

“Everybody is going to have a streak like this. It didn’t matter because we didn’t score any runs,” Baker said.

“You could, ‘Homer did this or did that’ but we had no chance, even if it was 1-0. Not only are we not scoring runs but we’re not getting any hits either. It’s not anything you want to do.”

Griffin (6-6) struck out seven and walked two in a 108-pitch gem for his first career complete game.

“He located the ball really well and threw strikes when he needed. He caught a couple of breaks here and there but he threw a good game,” Paul

OAKLAND ATHLETICS’ Jed Lowrie (right) collides with Cincinnati Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco as he scores on a double by Brandon Moss during the fourth inning of a baseball game on Wednesday in Oakland, Calif. said. “It was one of those days when our bats were pretty slow. Good teams find a way to bounce back and we’re a good team, so we’ll get back to playing like we’re capable.”

Josh Donaldson hit a threerun homer to highlight a fourrun fourth after hitting a two-run homer in Tuesday night’s 7-3 victory. The Reds lost for the fifth time in seven games and seventh in the last 11.

Bailey (4-6) faced just two over the minimum through three innings, and then ran into trouble in the fourth. He struck out seven and walked two in six innings in losing his second straight decision.

Oakland got four straight hits to start the fourth, taking a 1-0 lead on Moss’ double.

Jed Lowrie was nearly caught

at third by a sprinting Yoenis Cespedes, who held up as Lowrie ran home but missed the bag before reaching back to touch the plate as catcher Mesoraco lost the ball.

“They had the two ground balls that went through, then the double and it happened so quick,” Bailey said. “They were all on breaking balls, but were just up a little. Those aren’t bad pitches early in the count. Maybe I should have thrown the (heck) out of my fastball. But they’re a good hitting team, with a good approach at the plate. They grind out at-bats.”

Derrick Robinson and Joey Votto pulled off a double steal in the first to put runners on second and third, but Cincinnati missed more chances a day after stranding 11

baserunners.

The Reds are scheduled to bring second baseman Brandon Phillips back from the paternity list Friday at Texas.

“At least we’ll have Brandon back and he adds to the lineup,” Baker said.

Baker even had his team hit an abbreviated batting practice after the night game because, “This park plays as different day and night as anywhere in the big leagues.”

The tricky sun early and shadows late can be problematic. Donaldson experienced the glaring sun when the third baseman lost the ball on Paul’s foul popup in the fourth.

But Griffin kept things tricky for the Reds himself, mixing his pitches and pounding the zone.

Tactical Solutions finds new home in Pasco

BY MELANIE SPEICHER mspeicher@civitasmedia.com PASCO — Tactical Solutions Firearms and Accesories has found a new home.

After closing the downtown Sidney business in 2009, owner Mark Henman moved the firearms and accessories to his farm. Now the business is moving again — this time to 5887 State Route 29E. And there’s a new line of products being sold at the business — fish bait.

“I opened Tactical Solutions in 2005,” said Henman. “We were located on the courtsquare in Sidney and then I moved it to our farm.”

In April, Henman was approached by the people who own the grocery in Pasco with the news that the bait shop located next to the grocery was for sale.

“I always wanted to own a building on the corner of two state routes,” he said. “So I bought the bait shop.”

“We are open seven days a week,” said Henman. “The gun business is usually down during the summer so I kept the bait business for the summer season.

In addition to the fishing supplies, the store will also have archery equipment.

“We’ll also have some pistols for the grand opening,” said Henman. “I’ve been saving ammunition since the first of April so we’d have some for the grand opening. I figure it will be gone during the first two to three hours of the grand opening.”

Henman said after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in December, guns and ammunition have been hard to find.

MARK HENMAN, of Sidney, stands in his new shop Tactical Solutions Firearms and Accessories in Pasco Wednesday. Henman sells ammunition, guns, bait and fishing poles.

“I finally have my distributors calling to say they have guns and ammunition if I’m interested in buying it,” said Henman. “I recently got in .22 long rifles ammunition. I have 15,000 rounds of the ammunition. It’s really in demand.”

Henman, who retired from Shelby County Sheriff’s Office in 2009, became interested in firearms when he was a child.

“When I was little, my father built black powder rifles,” said Henman. “They were custom built. That’s how I learned about guns.”

He used his firearms knowledge at the Sheriff’s Office. He was a firearms instructor and then became the lead firearms instructor. He was also a

sniper on SWAT and eventually was in charge of SWAT. “I am trained to teach all weapons,” said Henman.

Henman will be going back to school in the fall. He is a member of Sheriff John Lenhart’s “Dream Team,” which will provide security for Sidney City Schools at each of their school buildings.

“I’m really excited about getting back in the uniform,” said Henman, who added Lenhart first hired him as a deputy in 1983. Henman’s son, Brad, who just returned from Afghanistan, recently joined the Sheriff’s Office as a deputy.

Henman also teaches CCW (conceal carry weapons) classes.

On the money Sidney High School soccer player Luke Rees performs with the rest of his team for the residents of Dorothy Love Retirement Community Wednesday.

The soccer players put on a demonstration and then held a cookout for the residents.

Noel, Len top draft choices Unfortunately I got hurt, but I mean I definitely felt right before I got injured I was really coming along as a player and just really coming into my own during that part of the season,” Noel said.

“But like I said, unfortunately I got hurt, so I wasn’t able to show as much as I wanted to.”

Nor has Len, but that hasn’t stopped the 7-1 center from the Ukraine who spent two seasons at Maryland from climbing into the mix at No. 1. His left foot started bothering him around February, and he found out after the season that it was a stress fracture.

He was aware he was projected as a top-10 pick before the draft combine, but may go much higher even though his visits to teams have consisted of nothing more than interviews. He no longer needs crutches but will be in the boot for perhaps two more weeks.

So, with all these injury questions, what about playing it safe and picking a healthy guy?

“I mean, probably a lot of people wish it could be that easy,” Kansas guard Ben McLemore said.

“But it’s a process for the teams, they’ve got to see what’s available and what they really need.

And like I said, this draft is up in the air and nobody knows what’s going to happen, who’s going to get drafted in which order.”

Orlando has the No. 2 pick, followed by Washington, Charlotte and Phoenix.

McLemore, Indiana’s Victor Oladipo, Georgetown forward Otto Porter and national player of the year Trey Burke of Michigan are

among the other players who will hear their names called early at Barclays Center by NBA Commissioner David Stern in his final draft.

It’s a class that won’t draw any comparisons to the one that James led, which featured future Miami Heat teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, along with NBA champion scoring Carmelo Anthony among the first five picks.

Brooklyn Nets general manager Billy King said a number of teams are trying to trade out of the draft and acquire extra picks for next year, which is expected to be a stronger class. But he doesn’t know if there will be enough teams interested in being trade partners to get those deals done.

“There are good players in this draft, but right now, there are not impact players. What I mean by that is that there’s no one you look at in this draft that within two years will be an All-Star, say like Kyrie Irving was, players like that,” said Minnesota Timberwolves president Flip Saunders, referring to the guard Cleveland took with the No. 1 pick in 2011.

of June 16, Hernandez texted two friends from out of state and asked them to hurry back to Massachusetts.

Surveillance footage from Hernandez’s home showed him leaving with a gun, and he told someone in the house that he was upset and couldn’t trust anyone anymore, the prosecutor said.

The three men picked up Lloyd at his home around 2:30 a.m., according to authorities. As they drove around in their rented car, they discussed what happened at the nightclub, and Lloyd started getting nervous, McCauley said.

Lloyd texted his sister, “Did you see who I am with?” When she asked who, he answered, at 3:22 a.m., “NFL,” then, a minute later, he sent one final text: “Just so you know.”

Within a few minutes, people working the overnight shift at the industrial park reported hearing gunshots, McCauley said. Surveillance video showed the car going into a remote area of the industrial park and emerging four minutes later, the prosecutor said.

A short time later, Hernandez returned to his house, and he and one of the other men were seen on his home surveillance system holding guns, McCauley said.

Then the system stopped recording, according to the prosecutor.

Hernandez had recently installed the system and had 14 cameras inside and out, according to McCauley, who said detectives found footage was missing from the six to eight hours after the slaying.

Investigators did not specify who fired the shots. They did not identify the two other people who were with Hernandez or say whether they were under arrest.

According to McCauley, Hernandez and his friends later returned the car to the rental agency, and Hernandez offered the attendant a piece of blue chewing gum. She found a .45-cal-

iber shell casing and a piece of what appeared to be chewed blue gum in the car and threw them out.

Later, investigators retrieved the items from a trash bin, and the casing matched others found where Lloyd was killed, McCauley said.

The two weapons seen on the surveillance footage have not been found, he said.

In arguing unsuccessfully for bail, Hernandez’s attorney said the athlete is unlikely to flee, is a homeowner, and lives with his fiancee and an 8-month-old baby. He also said Hernandez had never been accused of a violent crime.

As he was led from his home in the morning, Hernandez was wearing a white V-neck T-shirt, with his arms inside the shirt and behind his back. He spit into some bushes on his way to a police cruiser.

Later, as he was taken from the North Attleborough police station to court, two dozen supporters cheered, some yelling, “We love you, Aaron!”

“Words cannot express the disappointment we feel knowing that one of our players was arrested as a result of this investigation,” the Patriots said in a statement announcing he had been cut.

The team added: “We realize that law enforcement investigations into this matter are ongoing.

We support their efforts and respect the process.

At this time, we believe this transaction is simply the right thing to do.”

The Patriots drafted Hernandez, who is originally from Bristol, Conn., in 2010 out of the University of Florida, where he was an All-American.

During the draft, one team said it wouldn’t take him under any circumstances, and he was passed over by one club after another before New England picked him in the fourth round.

Afterward, Hernandez said he had failed a drug test in college — reportedly for marijuana — and was up front with teams about it.

NEW YORK (AP) — Nerlens Noel is coming off a major knee injury.

Alex Len is in a walking boot.

One of them could be the No. 1 pick Thursday in an NBA draft that appears short on stardom, and neither looks ready to get his career off to a running start.

“This draft is really unpredictable, a lot of guys with injuries and you don’t have any, like, LeBron James,” Len said Wednesday. “So it’s going to be interesting.”

Ten years after James climbed on stage to start a draft that goes down as one of the best in recent memory, the No. 1 pick again belongs to Cleveland.

The Cavaliers won’t find anyone who can play like James on the court — if they keep the pick — and even the climbing the stage part will be a challenge for the big men who opened their college seasons against each other and are competing again now.

Noel tore the ACL in his left knee on Feb. 12, ending his lone season at Kentucky. The 6-foot-11 freshman led the nation in shot blocking and his conference in rebounding, but hasn’t been able to show the Cavaliers if his offensive game has grown.

The only basketball work he did during his visit to Cleveland was shooting some free throws. Perhaps the pants he wore with his sports jacket and orange tie were just too tight, but Noel was walking gingerly as he exited a hotel ballroom after meeting with the media Wednesday.

“I wanted to do more.

ATTLEBORO, Mass.

(AP) — New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was arrested Wednesday and charged with murder in the shooting death of a friend prosecutors say had angered the NFL player at a nightclub a few days earlier by talking to the wrong people.

Hernandez, 23, was taken from his North Attleborough home in handcuffs just over a week after Boston semipro football player Odin Lloyd’s bullet-riddled body was found in an industrial park a mile away.

Less than two hours after the arrest, the Patriots announced they had cut Hernandez, a 2011 Pro Bowl selection who signed a five-year contract last summer worth $40 million.

Lloyd was a 27-yearold athlete with the Boston Bandits who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancee. He was shot multiple times on a secluded gravel road, authorities said.

Hernandez “drove the victim to that remote spot, and then he orchestrated his execution,” prosecutor Bill McCauley said.

If convicted, Hernandez could get life in prison without parole.

“It is at bottom a circumstantial case. It is not a strong case,” his attorney, Michael Fee, said at a court hearing during which Hernandez was ordered held without bail on murder charges and five weapons counts.

Lloyd’s family members cried and hugged as the prosecutor outlined the killing. Two were so overcome with emotion that they had to leave the courtroom.

McCauley said the slaying stemmed from a night out at a Boston club called Rumor on June 14. He said Hernandez was upset about certain things, including that Lloyd had talked to some people Hernandez “had troubles with.” The prosecutor did not elaborate.

Two days later, McCauley said, on the night

Browns release rookie PASSAIC, N.J. (AP) — The Cleveland Browns have released a rookie who is charged with attempted murder for allegedly punching a man in the head outside a club in northern New Jersey.

Ausar Walcott turned himself in to Passaic police Tuesday after he was identified as a suspect in an incident that happened around 3 a.m. Sunday.

The linebacker was signed by the Browns on May 13 following a tryout. The team announced his release Wednesday.

Walcott, 23, is charged with first-degree attempted murder, second-degree aggravated assault and third-degree endangering an injured victim, said Salvatore Bellomo, a senior assistant prosecutor.

He said the complaint alleges Walcott punched a man in the head.

Federer stunned at Wimbledon LONDON (AP) — Seven-time champion Roger Federer was stunned by 116th-ranked Sergiy Stakhovsky in the second round of Wimbledon on Wednesday, his earliest loss in a Grand Slam tournament in 10 years.

The 27-year-old Ukrainian outplayed Federer on Centre Court, serving and volleying his way to a 6-7 (5), 7-6 (5), 7-5, 7-6 (5) victory that stands out as one of the biggest upsets in Grand Slam history.

“Magic,” Stakhovsky said. “I couldn’t play any better today.”

The result capped a chaotic day at Wimbledon when seven players were forced out by injuries, and former champion Maria Sharapova fell in the second round to a qualifier. Seven former No. 1 -ranked players all departed the tournament Wednesday.

Federer’s loss ended his record streak of reaching at least the quarterfinals at 36 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments, a run that began at Wimbledon in 2004, shortly after a third-round exit at that year’s French Open.

“It’s always a disappointment losing any match around the world, and particularly here,” Federer said. “I’ve had some great moments here, but also some tougher ones. Can’t have ‘em all. It was a tough loss today.”

10-1 12-1 12-1 12-1 12-1 15-1 15-1 18-1 18-1 18-1 20-1 30-1 40-1 40-1 50-1 75-1 80-1 100-1 150-1 400-1 250-1

The owner of a record 17 major championships, Federer hadn’t been beaten in the second round or earlier since a first-round defeat at the 2003 French Open.

The 31-year-old Federer said he won’t “panic” and will work hard to come back stronger.

“I’m looking forward to what’s to come,” he said. “Looking forward to next year, that I can do better next year. “ Federer said the end of his quarterfinal run does not represent the end of an era.

“I still have plans to play for many more years to come,” he said. “ It’s normal that after all of a sudden losing early after being in the quarters 36 times, people feel it’s different. “ Federer’s shock defeat was his earliest at the All England Club since a first-round loss in 2002 to No. 154-ranked Mario Ancic.

Stakhovsky is the lowest-ranked player to beat Federer at any event since then.

Wednesday’s defeat came on the same grass court Federer has made his own for nearly a decade.

It ended with Stakhovsky converting on his second match point, a 13-stroke rally that finished with Federer hitting a backhand wide.

Stakhovsky fell onto his back in celebration. He later bowed to the crowd as Federer walked off the court with a quick wave.

Federer converted only one of eight break points against Stakhovsky, who broke the Swiss star twice. The Ukrainian piled up 72 winners against 17 unforced errors, while Federer had 56 winners and 13 errors.

While few play serve-andvolley these days, Stakhovsky used the tactic with great success throughout the match to keep Federer off balance. He won 61 out of 96 points at the net.

“I’m still in disbelief,” Stakhovsky said. “When you play Roger Federer at Wimbledon it’s like you are playing two persons.

First you play Roger Federer, then you play his ego, and on the Centre Court of Wimbledon, where he is historical. So that’s like playing two against one.”

Federer’s defeat was the biggest shock on a day full of them.

Earlier, third-seeded Sharapova, the 2004 Wimbledon champion, was stunned 6-3, 6-4 by 131st-ranked Michelle Larcher de Brito of Portugal in the second round.

Sharapova slipped and fell several times on the grass on Court 2 and received medical treatment from the trainer in the second set.

It wasn’t serious enough to force Sharapova to quit, as so many others did Wednesday either by walkover or mid-match retirements.

Keselowski looking to defend Kentucky victory

SPARTA, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky Speedway is hot and bumpy, and Brad Keselowski can’t wait to race.

So much that he’s competing in all three NASCAR national series events this weekend.

Again.

Keselowski’s eagerness is understandable.

He’s the defending champion in the Sprint Cup race Saturday night, one of five series victories that propelled the Michigan driver to last season’s title.

Standing ninth in the hunt for a berth in the Chase, he aims to improve his standing with his first win this season.

Keselowski believes there’s no better place to get it than on the 1.5-mile oval that has served him well.

After all, he was second at the track last year in the Truck race and won the Nationwide event in 2011 before last year’s Cup victory.

“Kentucky’s been one of my best race tracks,” said the Penske Racing driver, who will run in Thursday night’s Truck race and Friday night’s Nationwide event along with fellow Cup regular Kyle Busch.

“I won here on the Cup side last year and the Nationwide side two years ago, but haven’t won here on the Truck level. I’d like to come here and win all three; that would really AUTO RACING be something special.”

However, Keselowski NASCAR - Sprint Cup would especially welcome NASCAR Sprint Cup Quaker a Cup victory right now.

Fusion was fifth this month at Dover, the site of his last Cup victory in September. Over his past 12 starts he has led just 17 laps, a big falloff from 103 over the first four races.

Keselowski’s season has also included two NASCAR penalties totaling 31 points for having an illegal part at Texas and being too low after the Dover race, respectively. And yet, he’s still solidly in the running for his third consecutive appearance in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. That speaks volumes about the Penske team and its extremely confident driver, who expressed belief of returning to victory lane this season during a promotional appearance here earlier this month.

Standing on a hill looking toward the first turn of the speedway, Keselowski sounded like someone with a lot to look forward to — and with good reason, given his track record at Kentucky.

“We came right here the first time and ran well, we tested here before coming a couple years back and that was advantageous as well,” said Keselowski, whose driver rating of 128.2 at Kentucky is just behind leader Kyle Busch (133.0).

“What I like out of a race car and how I drive, it really fits this race track. That has led to my success here, but that doesn’t mean we’re guaranteed to win here or even run well. We still have to work hard and make it happen.”

Keselowski definitely looks forward to the chal-

lenges Kentucky presents, such as triple-digit track temperatures — even after sundown — and bumpy asphalt.

“As drivers, we hate to see repaves,” he said of the surface. “It makes the track almost too easy to drive, very unpredictable and hard to put on sideby-side racing. Kentucky’s the exact opposite.

It’s rough, it’s bumpy, it’s actually a little bit predictable because of that.”

On the bumps, Keselowski added, “they’re everywhere, not one spot.

Very noticeable. It’s like running over a freeway that truck drivers have been on and they try to patch in some spots where they made divots.”

this on three consecutive nights has Keselowski even more excited. Then again, Kentucky has provided the 2010 Nationwide Series champion plenty of opportunities to get psyched up.

Last year’s runner-up finish in the Truck race marked his first start in that series since 2005 and ‘06, finishing 18th and 30th respectively. Keselowski returned two years later in the Nationwide Series and posted an impressive record of topseven runs highlighted by his dominant 2011 victory in which he started fifth and led 132 laps.

In fact, his lowest Nationwide finish at Kentucky (seventh) came last year.

DEAR DR. ROACH: In a May column, a person comment about developing cancer after the death of a husband, child or someone close, and your response was about caring for that person and stress. However, after finding out that a young married couple from my high school both died from cancer in their 40s, and through the years (I am 72) seeing many other married couples, including my parents, die from it, I have been wondering if it is possible that cancer could be a virus like HIV and be contagious through bodily fluids. Is this a possibility, and is there any proof one way or the other? I hope this isn’t a stupid question. I have never written to a column before, but it is something that has been

OF THE

on my mind for 30 years.

Your thoughts would be much appreciated. — D.J. ANSWER: I often have seen married couples die within a short period of time from each other, sometimes from the same cause and sometimes from different causes. But to answer whether cancer can be spread as a virus, clearly, yes, it can be. Cervical cancer is caused by changes to the body via human papillomavirus (HPV), and we expect that the vaccine for HPV will dramatically reduce cervical cancer and death.

Kaposi’s sarcoma is similarly caused by HHV-8.

Although there are other examples, most cancers are not caused by contagious viruses, as far as we know. You have to remember that “cancer” isn’t one disease — it’s a bunch of diseases.

Windows were rattled and houses reported shaken. The report of the explosion was heard for miles. The cause was said to have been the falling of a meteor. Just before the explosion a bright light shot across the sky from northwest to southeast. Just where it struck the earth causing the explosion has not been determined, but it is apparently somewhere southeast of the city.

PETALUMA, Calif.

(AP) — A huge-headed, duck-footed mix of beagle, boxer and basset hound was the upset winner at the 25th annual World’s Ugliest Dog Contest.

Walle, a 4-year-old mutt from Chico, Calif., who was entered at the last minute, was judged Friday as the most unsightly of 30 dogs at the Northern California competition.

“This dog looked like he’s been photo-shopped with pieces from various dogs and maybe a few

other animals,” judge Brian Sobel said.

Walle overcame the dominance in recent years by nearly hairless Chihuahuas, Chinese cresteds, or combinations of the two.

Owner Tammie Barbee got the dog when he was three months old.

“People come up to me and say that dog is not right,” Barbee said, “but I love him.”

Judges said they were especially impressed by Walle’s bizarre waddle of a walk.

STATE NEWS

Sidney Daily News, Thursday, June 27, 2013

Poll: Ohioans souring on President Barack Obama CINCINNATI (AP) — Too late for Mitt Romney, Ohio voters appear to be souring on President Barack Obama.

A poll released Wednesday by Quinnipiac University indicated that 57 percent of voters disapproved of the way Obama is performing, his lowest grade ever in Ohio in that poll. The Democrat carried the hotly contested swing state last November to help cinch his re-election, giving him his second straight victory in a state that usually reflects the nation’s choice.

Quinnipiac pollster Peter Brown said Obama’s approval ratings have fallen 17 percentage points among independents since December, along with a 10point drop among Democrats and a swing among female voters from a 20-point approval margin to a 9-point disapproval margin of 53 percent to 44 percent approval. Overall, 40 percent of those surveyed approved of Obama’s handling of his job.

The poll taken June 18-23 surveyed 941 Ohio voters over land lines and cellphones for a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.

Asked whether they considered Obama “honest and trustworthy,” 52 percent of those polled said no.

Brown said the poll didn’t ask for specifics on Obama’s performance, but he said concerns over the deadly assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, last

year; the Internal Revenue Service targeting of groups conservative seeking tax-exempt status; and disclosures of federal eavesdropping likely are factors.

However, recent national polls indicated Obama’s job approval ratings haven’t been hurt by the issues.

But the IRS investigation likely undermines Obama’s approval in Ohio, said Gene Beaupre, a political scientist at Xavier University in Cincinnati. A Cincinnati IRS office was involved, and several Ohio-based tea party groups say they were subjected to extra IRS attention and demands.

“The IRS thing is close to home here, and kind of close to home in the state,” Beaupre said, saying many people can relate to discomfort with IRS scrutiny. “There’s that getting-a-root-canal mentality that probably everybody feels with the IRS.” David Weller, 64, of Cincinnati said he suspects people who wanted to help Obama’s re-election campaign last year acted in the tea party targeting. IRS officials have said the handling of tax-exempt applications wasn’t partisan.

Weller credits consumers and businesses for economic improvement, not the president, whom he criticizes for too much federal spending.

“I can understand why his ratings are down,” Weller said.

Zach Marquette, 29, said he is concerned about National Security

THIS NOV. 2, 2012 photo, shows President Barack Obama waiting backstage before speaking at a campaign event at Springfield High School in Springfield. A poll released Wednesday by Quinnipiac University indicated that 57 percent of voters disapproved of the way Obama is performing as president, his lowest grade ever in Ohio in that poll.

Agency surveillance.

“The whole NSA case is kind of contributing to that,” Marquette said of Obama’s poll ratings. “I understand the need to be on the lookout for terrorists, but this is a ridiculous amount of security.”

At the same time, the Quinnipiac polling showed job approval ratings hitting a new high for Republican Gov. John Kasich, with economic growth and an unemployment rate below the national level in Ohio as

Local taxes also would be applied in tandem to the digital items. That means buyers could see a 7 percent tax in parts of central Ohio, compared with an 8 percent rate in Cuyahoga County and a 6.75 percent tax in Hamilton County.

Under current law, states can only require stores to collect sales taxes if the store has a physical presence in the state. As a result, many online sales are essentially tax-free, giving Internet retailers an advantage over brick-andmortar stores. Though Ohio law requires consumers to pay a use tax if the items they buy online aren’t taxed by the seller.

Larger retailers with stores all over the country like Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Target collect sales taxes when they sell goods over the Internet. But online retailers like Amazon don’t have to collect sales taxes, except in states where they have offices or distribution centers.

Castro has pleaded not guilty to 329 counts in an indictment that covers August 2002, when the first woman disappeared, to February 2007. More charges could be filed in the case, which was cracked May 6 when one woman escaped from Castro’s house, leading to the rescue of the other two.

Prosecutor Tim McGinty told the judge he would be going back to the grand jury soon to seek the additional charges. Attorney General Mike DeWine said this month that a state crime laboratory is checking new evidence to determine if there were additional victims.

Kasich prepares to seek re-election in 2014.

“If polls this far out from an election mattered, Ted Strickland would still be governor,” said Matt McGrath, an Ohio Democratic Party spokesman, referring to the former Democratic governor’s strong polling before he was ousted by Kasich. He also noted that less than half of those polled indicated that they would vote for the incumbent or said that Kasich deserves reelection.

retailers have sales representatives in the state or sell products with ads targeting Ohioans, the businesses have “nexus” in Ohio and could have the sales tax can be applied to their items.

Under Ohio’s tax proposal, the sales tax wouldn’t apply to any video programming that’s included in a cable service package. But viewers could expect their Netflix and Hulu Plus subscriptions to be taxed.

The Ohio Department of Taxation estimates that the state would see an additional $15 million in the next two budget years by applying the sales tax to digital products.

The tax package would also eliminate a sales tax exemption for magazine subscriptions beginning Sept. 1, a change that’s drawn heat from some publishers.

John Dunn, the publisher of Cincinnati Magazine, recently told legislators on an Ohio House committee that it would feel wrong to pass along the tax to his 316,000 readers.

Women want quick resolution CLEVELAND (AP) — A man charged with holding three women captive in his run-down home for about a decade will undergo an evaluation to determine if he is mentally competent to stand trial, a judge ordered Wednesday.

Although the defense and the prosecution agree Ariel Castro is competent, Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Michael Russo said he wants to make sure Castro is able to understand the charges and assist attorneys in his defense.

The examination by a court-appointed doctor likely will be Thursday, the judge said.

Memory / Thank You

Songs, books downloaded online to be taxed in Ohio COLUMBUS (AP) — Downloading the latest pop music hit or best-selling crime novel could cost more next year in Ohio.

A package of tax changes added to the state budget would increase the state sales tax and apply it to digital products, such as MP3s, ebooks and videos bought on the Internet.

If approved by the Legislature on Thursday, tablet readers and music listeners would find a 5.75 percent state sales tax tacked on to their downloaded items on Jan. 1.

That’s a slight boost from the current rate of 5.5 percent.

Republican Gov. John Kasich told reporters Wednesday that he believed the tax was fair, noting that he frequently downloads books online.

“Look, if you go down the street and you visit a store here and you buy a Kanye West CD, you pay taxes on it,” he said. “If you download it, you don’t.”

“I think it’s entirely appropriate to balance all this out,” Kasich added.

McGinty said he believes Castro, 52, understood what he was doing when the crimes were committed and he is competent now.

“We have absolutely no doubt … that he’s entirely competent, knows exactly what he’s doing now and did then,” McGinty said in court Wednesday.

Castro’s attorney, Craig Weintraub, told reporters afterward that he believes his client is competent for trial.

A brief statement issued Wednesday by attorneys on behalf of the women suggested they want a quick resolution of the case.

“The longer this

process lasts, the more painful it is for them.

And the more sordid details of this horror that get disclosed in this process, the more painful it is for them,” said attorney Kathy Joseph, representing one of the women, Michelle Knight.

James Wooley, representing the other two women, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus, said the women have faith in the legal process but added, “The simple, honest truth is they would like it to be over. They want this whole thing behind them. Any date set by which this may end is like light at the end of a tunnel.”

While the city would be responsible for 100 percent of the cost of replacement, which would be reduced by any federal or state funding made available for the project, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) would pay up to 80 percent of the cost to a maximum of $878,240. If the city wants any special features, it would be responsible for those items if ODOT finds that they are unnecessary.

The bridge project was approved by council and is scheduled for replacement in 2014. The entire bridge will be removed and replaced.

In response to a question by Councilman Rick Sims, Magoto said it will take approximately 9 to 12 months to complete the project and there will be staging for construction on both sides of the bridge, which will impact accessibility to that area.

In other action, council approved an ordinance

Sidney City Council acted on a number of issues Monday evening, including approving the replacement of a bridge on Michigan Street, the repair of a dangerous building, and a liquor permit request.

Council discussed the replacement of a bridge on Michigan Street, near Oak Avenue, over the railroad tracks. The 92year-old single-span bridge has a number of safety concerns.

The bridge is structurally deficient, according to Randy Magoto, city of Sidney engineering manager. It has been posted with a reduction in load and there are other issues, including corrosion on the exposed reinforcing steel. The concrete beam and steel fascia beams have spalled off in places and there is concern that falling concrete could hit railroad personnel or equipment. A water main located on top of the bridge would also need to be placed under the bridge.

Another problem being created by the condition of the bridge is that the

assessing the cost of a dangerous building. The building, located at 532 N. Main Ave., is owned by Forrest Adams and Anita Adams, who have “failed to properly maintain or repair or make safe their property,” according to the ordinance. After being notified by the city, the couple failed to make the necessary repairs and on April 16, the city executed an administrative search warrant and found that the building was not secured, had broken latches and locks, broken windows, had damage from “wood-destroying insect activity,” and the building has been “compromised by damage to the foundation.” It has been declared unfit, and after the couple did not make the necessary repairs, the city hired A & A Plumbing and Excavating to secure the building. The cost to the city was $2,000.

Council approved a resolution authorizing the city manager to enter a contract with ODOT to complete pier patching and abutment patching on various bridges in Sidney, including the bridge on Ohio 47 over Interstate 75. The city will not

have to pay for the repairs to the bridges. The bridge project on Ohio 47 over I-75 is expected to take approximately one to two months to complete. There will be lane closures during that time.

The project is scheduled for 2014.

Sidney Fire Chief Brad Jones gave a report on fire and emergency medical service contracts with townships and he discussed the proposed 2014 contracts and future billable hours and/or rates.

Jones told the council that “the government Emergency (Federal Management Agency) establishes the billing rates.”

Jones said the billable rates in 2014 are expected to increase by approximately 3 percent.

The billing is based on the FEMA schedule of equipment billable rates, which are $85 for fire engines and $35 for ambulance; 2013 hourly labor costs including benefits; and a 20 percent administration cost.

FEMA-allowable hourly billing amounts for fire calls are $201 per hour for one engine with a crew of three, and for

EMS calls, the billing rate is $133 per hour for one ambulance with a crew of three. For Clinton Township, EMS calls in 2013 so far have included 122 incidents at $23,196 with a FEMA-allowable amount of $16,774 and proposed amount of $23,892 in 2014. Fire protection has seen 15 incidents in 2013 at a cost of $31,823 and FEMA-allowable amount of $3,022 and a proposed amount of $32,778 in 2014.

Orange Township EMS calls have totaled 10 so far in 2013 at a cost of $6,348 and a FEMA-allowable amount of $1,375 and a proposed amount of $6,538 in 2014 with a proposed amount of $6,538 and fire protection for 2013 has seen two incidents at a cost of $8,805 and a FEMA allowable amount of $403. The proposed amount for 2014 for fire protection is $9,069.

Franklin Township fire protection has seen four incidents for this year, at a cost of $8,375. The FEMA-allowable amount is $806. The proposed amount for 2014 is $8,626.

Washington Township has had no EMS inci-

VACANT unidentified mobile home park that are vacant and 415 of the properties that are vacant were previously rental properties. The other properties had been owner-occupied.

One hundred thirty-two of the vacant properties were foreclosures that were filed between January 2011 and May 2013.

Mayor Mike Barhorst said there are “a couple of landlords” who have concerns that the specific addresses that are vacant could become a matter of public record, and there is concern that thieves could use the information to rob the empty homes. It also presents an issue for those landlords who want to try and rent the property, Barhorst said. “I’m a little concerned about the unintended consequences.”

During a discussion on some of the homes that might be uninhabitable, Dulworth reminded council members that “to determine if (the houses are) uninhabitable … (it)

dents this year and a cost of $1 for this year. There is no FEMA-allowable amount and none for 2014.

Council approved a liquor license request from KATMATT Inc., doing business as Wild Wayne’s Sticky Pit, located at 2009 W. Michigan St. The D5A license would permit liquor for on-premises consumption only, beer, wine and mixed beverages for onpremises or off-premises in original sealed containers until 2:30 a.m. Following a background check by the Sidney Police Department, which indicated there was no reason to oppose the license, the license was approved.

City Manager Mark Cundiff told council members he wanted to thank everyone involved with the recent Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure (GOBA) that came through Sidney. “It was kind of neat to see everybody,” Cundiff said.

Council met in executive session to discuss pending litigation and the appointment of a public official. Mayor Mike Barhorst said no action would be taken.

would take an inspection.”

It was noted that because there is no water service, does not necessarily mean the house is uninhabitable. Coun-

cilwoman Janet Born asked how many of the vacant homes have been damaged as the result of the theft of copper pipes, to which Barhorst responded

that his guess was 10 percent.

Council members discussed the possibility of using a program similar to one used in Holland, Mich., to deal

with vacant homes.

After Born asked if it was possible to implement part of the program in Sidney, Councilman Steve Wagner reminded council

members that a program such as that would require “additional staff ” and would create other issues.

Born replied, “If we don’t get started (dealing with the vacant homes), it’s going to get worse.”

Barhorst suggested that council might want to “levy an extra tax on those (homes) who sit empty,” in a way similar to Sandusky. “If we were able to get the county to foreclose” on the properties not paying taxes, he said, then “I think to get the property back on the tax rolls is better than nothing.”

Born responded, “If they (property owners) didn’t pay the taxes before, how are you going to get them to pay” if they are forced?

Barhorst suggested that council members get started by looking at the properties where the water has been off for five years. Council members decided to begin by looking at homes where the water has been off for approximately four years to determine what action to take.
