30-count indictment Feds: Boston suspect downloaded bomb instructions

BY TOM HAYS The Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Boston Marathon suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev downloaded bombmaking instructions from an al-Qaida magazine, gathered online material on Islamic jihad and martyrdom, and later scrawled anti-American messages inside the boat where he lay wounded, a federal indictment charged Thursday.

The 30-count indictment contains the bombing charges,

punishable by the death penalty, that were brought in April against the 19-year-old Tsarnaev, including use of a weapon of mass destruction to kill.

It also contains many new charges covering the slaying of an MIT police officer and the carjacking of a motorist during the getaway attempt that left Tsarnaev’s older brother, Tamerlan, dead.

“Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s justice will be in the next world, but for his brother, accountability will begin right here in

the district of Massachusetts,” Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley, whose jurisdiction includes Boston, said at a news conference with federal prosecutors.

The indictment provides one of the most detailed public explanations to date of the brothers’ alleged motive — Islamic extremism — and the role the Internet may have played in influencing them.

Three people were killed and more than 260 wounded by the two pressure-cooker bombs that went off near the

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured four days later, hiding in a boat parked in a backyard in Watertown, Mass.

According to the indictment, he scrawled messages on the inside of the vessel that said, among other things, “The U.S. Government is killing our innocent civilians,” ”I can’t stand to see such evil go unpunished,” and “We Muslims are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all.”

Fireworks ready to ignite

BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@civitasmedia.com Independence Day, the most American of holidays, presents the annual opportunity for community festivities, family picnics, and fireworks.

The annual fireworks display in Sidney will be Thursday at 10 p.m. at Sidney Middle School, 980 Fair Road. In the event of rain, the fireworks will be Friday at the same time and location.

The event is possible thanks local sponsors, Wilson Memorial Hospital, the Peoples Federal Savings & Loan Association, Buckeye Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Wagner Realty, according to a press release issued by Sidney Mayor Mike Barhorst.

“Our community is truly blessed with civic-minded partners who have stepped forward during the current economic downturn to help continue some of our important services and traditions,” Barhorst said. “Examples that come to mind include the sponsorship of Safety

Town, new play equipment for Custenborder and Tawawa Parks, and certainly our annual fireworks display. I am deeply grateful to the Boards of Wilson

Memorial Hospital and Peoples Federal Savings & Loan, Jim Hunt of Buckeye Ford, and Tom Middleton of Wagner Realty for their patriotism and community spirit. I hope that those who enjoy the fireworks will take the time to thank the sponsors for their generosity to the community.”

As has been past practice, the city of Sidney will provide in-kind services comprising site inspection, fire protection during the fireworks, traffic control and help for the safety and welfare of the residents before, during and after the event.

Only state-licensed exhibitors can display and discharge fireworks. The types of fireworks that can be legally discharged by the public are trick and novelty devices, which include items that smoke, sparkle, snap and snake. These devices should be used only by adults, or by children who are under adult supervision. These devices get hot enough to ignite clothing and cause burn injuries, so they should be used with caution.

Money available to remove trees COLUMBUS – Federal grant funds are available to assist northern Ohio communities in removing hazardous ash trees along public rights-of-way, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).

“Grant funding totaling $300,000 will help northern Ohio communities address the damage caused by the non-native emerald ash borer as it continues to impact the region,” said Robert Boyles, state forester and chief of the ODNR Division of Forestry.

“The loss of ash trees in northern Ohio is not only environmentally and economically damaging, but dead and dying trees pose a safety hazard to anyone living or traveling on ash treelined streets.”

Since the emerald ash borer was first discovered in northwest Ohio in 2003, millions of ash trees have been killed by this devastating invasive insect, which can claim the life of an otherwise healthy, mature tree in as little as one year. Due to the insect’s spread, many Ohio communities are now confronted with the costly expense of dead ash tree removal and replacement.

Communities in the following counties are eligible to apply: Allen, Ash-

land, Auglaize, Crawford, Cuyahoga, Defiance, Erie, Fulton, Hancock, Hardin, Henry, Huron, Lorain, Lucas, Marion, Medina, Mercer, Ottawa, Paulding, Putnam, Richland, Sandusky, Seneca, Shelby, Van Wert, Williams, Wood and Wyandot.

To request an application or access Ash Removal grant instructions, the eligible communities should contact the ODNR Division of Forestry at go to 614-670-2653, http://ohiodnr.com/tabid/22104/Default.aspx or email wendi.vanburen@dnr.state.oh.us.

Applications must be submitted electronically no later than close of business on July 29.

The ODNR Division of Forestry works to promote the wise use and sustainable management of Ohio’s public and private woodlands. To learn more about best practices for dealing with emerald ash borer impacted trees, Ohio’s woodlands, forest health or tree care visit the Division of Forestry’s website at ohiodnr.gov/forestry.

ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR website at ohiodnr.gov.

Dems push BUDGET A look at the Ohio budget to bring before state lawmakers Medicaid bill to vote

From Page 1

BY ANN SANNER The Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — Democratic lawmakers in Ohio began an effort Thursday to try to call a vote on a Republicansponsored bill to expand the Medicaid program to cover thousands more low-income residents after attempts to add the proposal to the state’s budget repeatedly failed.

Legislators have sought common ground on the issue since the governor’s fellow Republicans dropped from the budget his proposal to extend Medicaid eligibility.

The state’s Republican House leader said work on the issue would continue over the summer.

House Speaker William Batchelder also left open the idea of lawmakers coming back in September to vote on changes to the program, but couldn’t say whether any plan would include an expansion.

House Democratic leader Tracy Heard said Thursday such a delay was unacceptable and showed a “failure of leadership.”

Before debating the two-year budget, Heard and her House Democratic colleagues lined up in the Statehouse rotunda and signed a petition to discharge the Medicaid expansion bill from a House committee.

Democrats, who hold 39 House seats, would need at least 11 signatures from Republicans to release the measure.

Democratic State Rep. Mike Foley, who is coordinating the petition drive, had signatures from 34 Democrats on his clipboard by the end of Thursday’s session, the last scheduled day for the Legislature before summer recess.

Foley said he planned to continue to work to get other signatures over the break.

Even if Democrats are successful with the signatures, the bill’s chances were uncertain.

Batchelder told reporters he didn’t think the measure would pass

if it got to the floor. “We have a number of amendments that we believe ought to be in there,” he said.

Heard said she believed there was support for the proposal inside the House GOP caucus.

“We’re asking them to their political find courage and do what their constituencies are asking them to do and to move this out of the House before we return back again,” Heard, of Columbus, told reporters.

She also called on Republican Gov. John Kasich to put pressure on fellow Republicans.

Despite the challenges, Heard said the effort was worth a shot.

Plus, she added, Kasich could call the lawmakers back for a special session to vote on the bill.

The bill from GOP state Rep. Barbara Sears would extend the Medicaid program under the federal health care law. It also includes cost-sharing provisions and aims to control Medicaid costs.

But even Sears said she couldn’t sign her name to the petition because she said it would be disrespectful to the process.

Her bill has had one hearing, and she said in an interview with The Associated Press that there should be additional discussions on it to gather more bipartisan support.

Still, she said, “I personally believe we failed by not enacting legislation.”

While debating the budget, several Democrats urged their colleagues on the other side of the aisle to sign onto their discharge petition.

“We can take the vote, not a vacation,” said Debbie Phillips, an Albany Democrat.

House Finance Chairman Ron Amstutz said that while the budget doesn’t include the Medicaid program expansion, it does contain higher Medicaid costs.

“You say, Medicaid is not in here. Oh, yes it is,” said Amstutz, a Wooster Republican. “It has been eating the lunch of the education budget.”

tion. In the Republican-dominated Ohio House, the bill eked out a 53-44 majority with seven Republicans opposed.

House Finance Chairman Ron Amstutz, a Wooster Republican, said he was disappointed in all the disappointment in a bill that involved so much time and compromise. He said the proposal would help families and Ohioans who are aspiring to be in a better place financially, make better wages and live a higher quality of life.

“That’s why we’re here,” he said. “That’s our purpose, to make our state stronger than it would otherwise be.”

Republicans were particularly proud of the $2.7 billion in overall tax cuts delivered over three years under the bill, including a phased in income-tax cut for individuals and small businesses.

The provision represents a political victory for Kasich, who made a campaign pledge to cut income taxes and faces re-election next year. It phases in a 10-percent cut over three years culminating in 2015.

The cut is partly paid for by increasing the state sales tax rate from 5.5 percent to 5.75 percent. The bill also calls for applying the tax to digital goods, such as ebooks and music downloads. Kasich’s earlier proposal to hike taxes on oil and gas drilling was excluded.

Democrats attacked the thrust of the tax changes, saying the income-tax cut would disproportionately benefit wealthier Ohioans while sales tax changes would hurt those struggling to make ends meet.

Rep. Mike Foley, a Cleveland Democrat, said the tax package was based on “greed and selfishness.” He said budgets are moral documents that reflect the principles and values of a society.

“Based on the content of this document, I believe that we are failing,” he said.

Sen. Bill Seitz, a Cincinnati Republican, said wealthier residents pay more taxes — and so naturally receive a bigger share of cuts.

“Them that pays the most, will benefit the most when we cut rates.

That’s just the math, that’s not an argument, that’s math,” he said.

Senate President Keith Faber took the

Some of the highlights of Ohio’s two-year, $62 billion budget that cleared the Legislature on Thursday, plus some of the policies that were dropped from the spending plan: WHAT’S IN • INCOME TAX CUT: Reduces the statewide income tax rate gradually over three years, beginning with an 8.5 percent tax in 2013 and moving to a 10 percent tax reduction by 2015. That’s down from the governor’s proposed 20 percent.

• SMALL BUSINESSES: Provides small businesses with a 50 percent tax cut on the first $250,000 in net business income, compared with the first $750,000 the governor had pitched.

• SALES TAX INCREASE: Increases the state sales tax from 5.5 percent to 5.75 percent; applies it to digital products such as e-books and music.

• ABORTION: Requires abortion providers to inform pregnant women in writing about the presence of a fetal heartbeat before the procedure.

• FAMILY PLANNING: Makes changes to send Planned Parenthood to the back of the line for public family-planning money.

• OPEN MEETINGS: Allows public bodies to meet in closed session to consider the terms of an application for economic development assistance; requires a unanimous vote; specifies the exception applies only to the body’s consideration of confidential information, such as the applicant’s marketing plans and specific business strategy.

• EXOTIC ANIMALS: Exempts spider monkeys from the list of animals for permitting and care require-

rare step of leaving his leader’s perch to defend the bill.

“I respectfully submit to everyone in this chamber the comment that President Obama made last year during his campaign trail is just as true today as it was then: ‘You can’t drive the car into a ditch and expect us to give you back the keys,’” Faber said. “The car is back on the road, and that’s a road to Ohio recovery.”

The budget adjusts how Ohio calculates the state’s share of funding to public school districts and community schools, increasing the amount schools receive per pupil to $5,745 in 2014 and $5,800, but eliminates a 12.5 percent propertytax subsidy that the state had been paying on new levies imposed by school districts, libraries and other public entities.

Democrats registered their harshest criticism

ments under Ohio’s recently passed exotic animal law, but requires owners to register the animals.

WHAT’S OUT: • MEDICAID: The governor’s proposed expansion of Medicaid to make roughly 366,000 low-income residents eligible for coverage beginning in 2014 and qualify the state for about $13 billion from the federal government to cover program costs over the next seven years.

• SEX EDUCATION: A Housecommittee proposal barring distribution of contraceptives on school property and subjecting teachers to litigation for promoting unspecified activities considered gateways to sex.

• CASINOS: A requirement that casinos keep patron photos for five years, which was aimed at making it easier for law enforcement to track and clamp down on money laundering.

• E-SCHOOLS: An exemption for students enrolled in e-schools from the physical education requirement to graduate from high school.

• SALES TAX EXPANSION: The governor’s tax reduction and broadening that would have taken the rate from 5.5 percent to 5 percent then extended the tax to a new list of items, including legal services and entertainment events.

• AND GAS TAX: The governor’s severance tax increases on large-volume oil and gas drillers.

• STUDENT VOTERS: A requirement that Ohio universities charge lower in-state tuition to outof-state students who request the documents necessary to register to vote in the state.

of the day at Republicans’ failure to include an expansion of the Medicaid health insurance program in the bill.

Sen. Capri Cafaro, a Hubbard Democrat, called the decision cowardly, heartless and short-sighted.

“I have to admit, you can probably tell, that I have never been so angry, so appalled and so heartbroken by the actions of the General Assembly,” she said.

Cafaro appealed to Kasich to “do what’s right, follow your moral compass, and veto the language in this budget that stops our state from extending health coverage to hard-working Ohioans.”

Among hundreds of provisions in the bill was a last-minute amendment requiring Ohio doctors to inform women seeking abortions in writing whether a fetal heartbeat is present.

Abortion-rights supporters were on the scene to protest the measure, with several escorted out for shouting “Shame on you, shame on you!” after the budget passed.

Rep. Terry Boose, a Norwalk Republican, said the bill’s 500-plus pages were filled with way too many unrelated policy items.

“Send us your numbers, but leave your policy out of it,” he said. “We need to stand strong as a group and say the budget is the budget. The budget is numbers. The budget isn’t policy.”

Democratic Rep. Nickie Antonio of Lakewood responded, “Brother, I agree,” and proceeded to criticize provisions addressing women’s reproductive health.

some 65 miles north in Columbus, for autopsies, and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation was examining evidence collected from the home as authorities tried to determine what happened.

A man at the home who identified himself as an uncle said he no comment Thursday afternoon. The two-story house is set back slightly from the road in an older neighborhood with a mix of residential houses and businesses.

Hawker told The Associated Press on Thursday that he couldn’t comment on what might have led to

the shootings, but authorities say no one else was at home at the time.

Shirley Causey, who said her grandson was a cousin and frequent playmate of the older boy, said Austin was “very protective” of his younger half brother. She described Austin as so polite that he wouldn’t get a drink or snack without asking her permission when visiting.

She said her grandson, Aaron Causey, was close to Austin and that the two enjoyed swimming, skating and riding bikes together.

“He (Aaron) is doing better, but he was just so

torn up yesterday,” she said.

Property records show the home is owned by James and Deborah Harris, and neighbors said they were the boys’ maternal grandparents.

The grandparents were very loving to the boys, Shirley Causey said.

“They are just very sweet people,” she said.

“They just loved those boys so much.”

There was no suspicion that anyone else was involved, but any shooting must be treated as a potential homicide until investigation rules that out, Hawker said.

• In 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, Sophie, were assassinated in Sarajevo

by Serb nationalist Gavrilo Princip — the event which sparked World War I. • In 1919, the Treaty of Versailles (vehr-SY’) was signed in France, ending the First World War. In Independence, Mo., future president Harry S. Truman married Elizabeth Virginia Wallace.

• In 1922, the Irish Civil War began between rival nationalists over the Anglo-Irish Treaty establishing the Irish Free State. (The conflict lasted nearly a year, resulting in defeat for anti-treaty forces.)

• In 1939, Pan American Airways began regular trans-Atlantic air service with a flight that departed New York for Marseilles, France.

• In 1962, a jury in New York awarded $3.5 million to former radio-TV personality John Henry Faulk in his libel suit against the group AWARE Inc. and two individuals who’d accused him of Communist sympathies and gotten him blacklisted. (The judgment was reduced to $550,000 by an appeals court.)

• In 1978, the Supreme Court ordered the University of California-Davis Medical School to admit Allan Bakke, a white man who argued he’d been a victim of reverse racial discrimination.

Two-headed turtle born SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A two-headed turtle has hatched at the San Antonio Zoo and officials have named her Thelma and Louise.

The female Texas cooter arrived June 18 and will go on display Thursday at the zoo’s Friedrich Aquarium.

Zoo spokeswoman Debbie Rios-Vanskike said Wednesday that the twoheaded turtle appears healthy and is able to swim and walk. She says experts at the zoo don’t foresee any health issues for Thelma and Louise, named for the female duo in the 1991 Oscar-winning road movie of the same name.

The San Antonio Zoo is no stranger to two-headed reptiles. The facility was home to a two-headed Texas rat snake named Janus from 1978 until the creature’s death to 1995.

Immigration overhaul: Senate passes historic bill

BY ERICA WERNER The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — With a solemnity reserved for momentous occasions, the Senate passed historic legislation Thursday offering the priceless hope of citizenship to millions of immigrants living illegally in America’s shadows.

The bill also promises a military-style effort to secure the long-porous border with Mexico.

The bipartisan vote was 6832 on a measure that sits atop President Barack Obama’s second-term domestic agenda.

Even so, the bill’s prospects are highly uncertain in the Republican-controlled House, where conservatives generally oppose citizenship for immigrants living in the country unlawfully.

Spectators in galleries that overlook the Senate floor watched expectantly as senators voted one by one from their desks. Some onlookers erupted in chants of “Yes, we can” after Vice President Joe Biden announced the bill’s passage.

After three weeks of debate, there was no doubt about the outcome. Fourteen Republicans joined all 52 Democrats and two independents to support the bill.

In a written statement, Obama coupled praise for the Senate’s action with a plea for resolve by supporters as the House works on the issue.

“Now is the time when opponents will try their hardest to

The Senate moved with uncommon bipartisanship Thursday to the brink of passage of legislation offering the priceless hope of citizenship to millions of immigrants living illegally in America’s shadows, while also promising a military-style effort to secure the long-porous border with Mexico. pull this bipartisan effort apart so they can stop commonsense reform from becoming a reality. We cannot let that happen,” said the president, who was traveling in Africa.

In the final hours of debate, members of the so-called Gang

of 8, the group that drafted the measure, frequently spoke in personal terms while extolling the bill’s virtues, rebutting its critics — and appealing to the House members who turn comes next.

“Do the right thing for America and for your party,”

said Sen. Bob Menendez, DN.J., who said his mother emigrated to the United States from Cuba. “Find common ground. Lean away from the extremes. Opt for reason and govern with us.”

Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake said those seeking legal status after living in the United States illegally must “pass a background check, make good on any tax liability and pay a fee and a fine.”

There are other requirements before citizenship can be obtained, he noted.

He, too, spoke from personal experience, recalling time he spent as a youth working alongside family members and “undocumented migrant labor, largely from Mexico, who worked harder than we did under conditions much more difficult than we endured.”

Since then, he said, “I have harbored a feeling of admiration and respect for those who have come to risk life and limb and sacrifice so much to provide a better life for themselves and their families.”

The bill’s opponents were unrelenting, if outnumbered.

“We will admit dramatically more people than we ever have in our country’s history at a time when unemployment is high and the Congressional Budget Office has told us that average wages will go down for 12 years, that gross national product per capita will decline for 25-plus years, that unemployment will go up,” said Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.

Gay rights clash: Mortgage rates jump Obama, African host are at odds

BY MARCY GORDON The Associated Press

BY JULIE PACE The Associated Press DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — Laying bare a clash of cultures, President Barack Obama on Thursday urged African leaders to extend equal rights to gays and lesbians but was bluntly rebuked by Senegal’s president, who said his country “still isn’t ready” to decriminalize homosexuality.

Obama opened his weeklong trip to Africa one day after the U.S. Supreme Court expanded federal benefits for married gay couples. In his first in-person comments on the ruling, Obama said the court’s decision marked a “proud day for America.” He pressed for similar recognition for gays in Africa, wading into a sensitive area in a region where dozens of countries outlaw homosexuality and a few punish violations with death.

“When it comes to how the state treats people, how the law treats people, I believe that everybody has to be treated equally,” Obama said during a news conference with Senegalese President Macky Sall at the grand presidential palace in Dakar.

But Sall gave no ground. Senegal is “very tolerant,” he assured Obama, but is “still not ready to decriminalize homosexuality.” Sall said countries make decisions on complex issues in their own time, noting that Senegal has outlawed capital punishment while other countries have not — a pointed jab at the U.S., where the death penalty is legal in many states.

Obama’s trip, which also includes stops in South Africa and Tanzania, marks the most extensive visit to Africa by the first black U.S. president since he took office. Many Africans have expressed disappointment over Obama’s lack of direct engagement with affairs on their continent — particularly given that his father was Kenyan and he has many relatives living in Africa — yet he was still enthusiastically welcomed.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. mortgage rates have suddenly jumped from near-record lows and are adding thousands of dollars to the cost of buying a home.

The average rate on the 30year fixed loan soared this week to 4.46 percent, according to a report Thursday from mortgage buyer Freddie Mac. (NYSE:FRE) That’s the highest average in two years and a full point more than a month ago.

The surge in mortgage rates follows the Federal Reserve’s signal that it could slow its bond purchases later this year.

A pullback by the Fed would likely send long-term interest rates even higher.

In the short run, the spike in mortgage rates might be causing more people to consider buying a home soon. Rates are still low by historical standards, and would-be buyers would want to lock them in before they rise further.

But eventually, more expensive home loans could price some people out and slow the housing market’s momentum, which has helped drive the U.S. economy over the past year.

“People are getting off the fence a little bit more or choosing to buy now instead of choosing to buy three months from now,” said Anthony Geraci, a

BOSTON The Tsarnaev brothers had roots in the turbulent Russian regions of Dagestan and Chechnya, which have become recruiting grounds for Muslim extremists.

They had been living in the U.S. about a decade.

But the indictment made no mention of any larger conspiracy beyond the brothers, and no reference to any direct overseas contacts with extremists. Instead, the indictment suggests the Internet played an important role in the suspects’ radicalization.

Before the attack, according to the indictment, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev downloaded onto his computer the summer 2010 issue of Inspire, an online Englishlanguage magazine published by alQaida. The issue detailed how to make bombs from pressure cookers, explosive powder extracted from fireworks, and lethal shrapnel.

He also downloaded extremist Muslim literature, including “Defense of the Muslim Lands, the First Obligation After

Cleveland real estate brokerowner who says he’s seeing more sales activity lately in his market.

Mortgage rates are rising because they tend to track the yield on the 10-year Treasury note, a benchmark for most long-term interest rates. The 10-year yield began rising from near-record lows in May after speculation grew that the Fed might be closer to reducing its bond purchases.

In early May, the average rate on a 30-year mortgage was 3.35 percent, just above the record low of 3.31 percent.

But rates began to surge — and stocks plunged — after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke made more explicit comments last week about the Fed’s plans. He said the Fed would likely scale back its bond buying later this year and end it next year if the economy continued to strengthen.

The rate on 30-year loan soared from 3.93 percent last week to 4.46 percent this week — the biggest one-week jump in 26 years.

The effect on buyers’ wallets in just the past two months is striking.

A buyer who locked in a 3.35 percent rate in early May on a $200,000 mortgage would pay $881 a month, according to Bankrate.com. The same mortgage at a 4.46 percent rate would run $1,008 a month.

From Page 1 Imam,” which advocates “violence designed to terrorize the perceived enemies of Islam,” the indictment said.

Another tract downloaded included a foreword by Anwar al-Awlaki, an American propagandist for al-Qaida who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in 2011.

U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz of Massachusetts said Attorney General Eric Holder will decide whether to pursue the death penalty against Tsarnaev, who will be arraigned on July 10.

The indictment assembled and confirmed details of the case that have been widely reported over the past two months, and added new pieces of information.

For example, it corroborated reports that Tamerlan Tsarnaev bought 48 mortar shells from a Seabrook, N.H., fireworks store. It also disclosed that he used the Internet to order electronic components that could be used in making bombs.

The papers detail how the brothers then allegedly placed knapsacks contain-

ing shrapnel-packed bombs near the finish line of the 26.2-mile race.

The court papers also corroborated reports by authorities that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev contributed to his brother’s death by accidentally running him over with a stolen vehicle during a shootout and police chase.

The charges cover the slaying of Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer Sean Collier, who authorities said was shot in the head at close range in his cruiser by the Tsarnaevs, who tried to take his gun.

In addition, prosecutors said that during the carjacking, the Tsarnaevs forced the motorist to turn over his ATM card and his password, and Dzhokhar withdrew $800 from the man’s account.

At the same time the federal indictment was announced, Massachusetts authorities brought a 15-count state indictment against Dzhokhar over the MIT officer’s slaying and the police shootout.

All the dishes and bench wagons are back in the bench wagon waiting to be pulled to the next place. It is always a lot of work to get ready to host church services, but it is relaxing once it’s over and everything is cleaned.

I didn’t get around to having the garage sale I wanted to have before our church services.

That is now on my “to do” list to organize all that before canning season is in full swing.

I would also like to go to the local U-pick to get strawberries to make strawberry freezer jam.

That is a favorite jam around here. Sister Emma has her own strawberry plants and furnished all the strawberries for church services on Sunday. She is getting a good yield. I would like to get new plants started. My last ones didn’t do so well. I made these for supper one evening with Emma’s strawberries. I hope you’ll like them as much as we did.

JACKSON CENTER — Village Council had to table an ordinance because of the absence of two members at Monday’s meeting, but a levy resolution moved forward.

Council members present heard the third reading of an ordinance adopting rate, terms and conditions for electric service provided by the village, but because of emergency language in the ordinance, it could not be passed without a two-thirds majority.

Karen Councillors Woodruff and Jim Frye were absent and excused from the meeting.

Council heard the second reading of a resolu-

tion on levying a replacement tax on the November ballot. The resolution is the third step in the process of getting the 2.0-mill tax on the ballot. The estimated property tax revenue that will be produced annually by the stated millage, assuming the tax valuation of the subdivision remains constant throughout the life of the five-year levy, is calculated to be $42,966.

The 2.0-mill levy will amount to 20 center for each $100 of valuation for calendar years 201418 if passed. The third reading for the resolution is set for July 8. The resolution, along with

the county auditor’s certification and the resolution of necessity, must be presented to the board of elections prior to Aug. 5 in order for the levy to get on the November ballot.

Council heard the first reading of an resolution authorizing the village administrator to obtain a loan for the purchase of a Case backhoe.

The purchase already was authorized in a previous ordinance. The loan is not to exceed $68,000 with an interest rate of 2.75 percent, payable over five years.

The next meeting of village council is set for July 8 at 7 p.m in council chambers.

never come home.” There are many in our community who have had a loved one leave for military service, who never returned to say, “I’m home!” Many were lost in combat, many were buried at sea, many were POWs or missing in action.

As one who works with grief every day as a hospice chaplain, I know that living with unresolved grief is a terrible thing. We’d like to do something positive about that at this concert. During the memorial portion of the concert, there will be a time for anyone who lost a loved one in combat to come and stand while a memorial wreath is placed. The wreath will be placed by a local family with a loved one still listed as “missing in action” from the Vietnam War. Anyone who lost a loved one in active service is invited to bring flowers and to place them by the wreath during the ceremony. Following the

concert, it is suggested that you place those memorial flowers on the appropriate memorial surrounding the courthouse.

While the memorial will be very moving, it will be a concert of pride and honor to our great nation. Lorie Beigel will play the “Theme from Schindler’s List,” a beautiful violin solo with the band. A most popular tenor soloist, Gregory Ashe, will sing “Bring Him Home” from “Les Miserables,” and “God Bless the USA,” and Del Braund, a wonderful bagpiper, will render “Amazing Grace” as part of the memorial, following taps.

As we like to say, “Friday night never sounded so good!” Bring a chair to the square the next Friday nights through July 19 at 7 and enjoy YOUR Sidney Civic Band. You’ll be glad you did.

The writer is the conductor of the Sidney Civic Band.

Use casino $ for schools To the editor: We voted on four new casinos, two race tracks with slot machines, that was to help out on taxes for the Sidney City Schools. All four casinos and both race tracks are up and running and they now want a 1 percent income tax from the people (including seniors)?

The June 17 paper said, item 11, a senior citizen credit is allowed. How much more will we have to pay? The schools need to get things in order, but they just keep wanting to get into our pockets. What happens to the millions they get from the casinos and tracks?

Vote “no” and let them use those millions.

To the editor: Summer is upon us and lots of parents are planning vacations, and doing other fun activities with their children. Other parents are trying to plan how they are going to spread their food out enough to feed their children on a daily basis. During the school year, these children were getting their breakfast and lunch through the school lunch program and the parent only had to worry about the evening meal.

During the summer months, these parents are responsible for feeding their children all three meals. Some of these parents have had their work hours cut, or even gotten laid off from their jobs, therefore making some tight budgets. As one mother told me, some days she can only feed her children one, possibly two meals a day. The FISH food pantry is trying to fill in the gap for these parents. Luckily, with the generous support of the citizens of Sidney and Shelby County, we can continue to help make these parents job a little easier. None of us are immune to the problems these parents face every day, we can only be thankful that we aren’t walking in their shoes. We never know when our own lives may change — we have to look out for each other. That is what the citizens of Sidney and Shelby County do best!

FISH Thrift Shop/Food Pantry volunteers appreciate the support we have been given. We always welcome new volunteers so we can continue to provide help to the less fortunate in our community. If you are interested in learning more about our shop, stop in and talk with any of our volunteers.

We appreciated all those involved — from the generous businesses and individuals who donated items and monetary gifts, to Gover’s for the use of their property, the 75 vehicles, the Boy Scouts and all the the volunteers.

Without everyone’s help our benefit would not have been as successful as it was. The economy is tough, but everyone came through and helped our cause. We appreciate all of you. We were able to raise more than $3,100 for the Aiden Myers family to help purchase a special bed for Aiden.

Aiden suffers from tuberous sclerosis complex, seizures and autism.

Students enjoy summer activities Activities presented by local organizations, all meant to encourage family involvement with the school and allow students the opportunity to learn about summer activities throughout Sidney and Shelby County, were presented in May. COSI on Wheels filled the gym with fun science experiments for children of all ages. Working from room to room throughout the school, Longfellow students and their families were able to hula hoop with the YMCA and create arts and crafts with 4-H, city of Sidney Parks and Recreation Department, and Shelby County Counseling Center.

Families also had the chance to learn about good nutrition from Wilson Memorial Hospital and eat Dannon Yogurt, make a water cycle bracelet with Shelby County Soil and Water Conservation District, browse movies and books with Family Video and Amos Memorial Public Library, and build a model airplane with Lowe’s.

BREANNA BRUEGGERT (left), 5, and her dad Randy Brueggert, both of Sidney, attempt to put different shapes together to make a pyramid during an educational program at Longfellow Elementary called “Summer Fun” in May. Fifteen different groups had educational stations at the event. Breanna is also the daughter of Tasha Grimm.

Students and their families also learned of many of the activities these organizations have planned throughout the summer, many of which are free. Agape Distribution donated gently used books for attendees to take home. The Sidney Fire De-

partment was also on site to share one of their trucks!

“This was the first time we have done this event and the feedback from both families and the organizations was great,” said Longfellow Elementary Principal Fran Dembski. “It not only bene-

fited our families, but our community organizations were able to share their missions, make connections with those they serve, and share their summer programming. That’s a win-win for everyone!”

Longfellow’s staff and Parent Advisory Council (PAC), along with the organization representatives volunteered their time to make this a fun event for the whole family.

“Our hope is to expand this event next year, as there were a number of organizations that were unable to take part! PAC and Longfellow staff already have ideas on how to grow it!” In addition to those organizations that held activities, a number of organizations donated goods and coupons to pass out.

Those organizations include AAA, Bel-Mar Lanes, Dannon Yogurt, Energizer, Formed Fiber Technologies, Jumpy’s, McDonald’s, Minster State Bank, Rolling Hills Skate Club and Sidney Foodtown.

Then, on May 15, Seger received the news that she was the newest trustee via a phone call from the governor himself.

“I was very humbled and honored to be appointed by Gov. Kasich for this amazing opportunity. I called all my family and friends to share the exciting news,” Seger said.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, June 29, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You're full of energy today! In fact, you might be tempted to go overboard or offer more than you can deliver, so do be aware of this.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You feel content today and pleased with your own company. In fact, you will enjoy some moments of solitude if you can squeeze them into your busy day.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Relations with others, especially in groups, will be upbeat and positive today. Enjoy talking to a female acquaintance, but don't promise more than you can deliver.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Personal details about your private life might be made public today. (Oops.) Be aware of this. When talking to authority figures, don't agree to do something unless you really want to do it.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Travel plans and anything that has to do with publishing, the media and higher education look positive today.

You are looking forward to something in your future. (That's always a plus.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Don't give away the farm today. I say this because you're feeling generous, and if you have to divide something, you might not be fair to yourself. (You count, too.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Discussions with partners and close friends, plus members of the general public, will be warm and sunny today (sounds like a weather report). Nevertheless, be prepared to cooperate with others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Things will go well at work today as long as you are realistic about what you can do. Don't agree to take on more than you can handle. Be realistic.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a lovely, playful day. Enjoy sports events, musical performances, the theater, movies and fun times with children. Romance with someone unusual might begin.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You have big plans for something at home, or perhaps family members are hopeful about something in the near future. Later in the day, your ideas might be more realistic.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) It's easy to be positive and optimistic today, which is a good thing. Why? Because essentially, your thoughts are creating your world. (It's true.)

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Be careful with money and cash flow today, because you might go overboard.

You could spend too much money on something or be too casual.

YOU BORN TODAY You have the ability to make your dreams come true.

Therefore, pay attention to your visions and life purpose. You are a truth seeker and scorn phoniness in others.

Many are attracted to aviation, dance and speed. You always will be fun-loving and childlike. A major change might take place in the coming year, perhaps as significant as what occurred around 2004.

You never said Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m leaving, You never said goodbye, You were gone before I knew it, And only God knows why.

A million times I needed you, A million times I cried, I love alone could have saved you, If You never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still, In my heart you hold a place That no one could ever fill.

It broke my heart to lose you, But you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go alone For part of me went with you The day God took you home.

I had been taking HCT for more than 10 years for hypertension; apparently it did not control my blood pressure well enough to ward off kidney damage. I have been prescribed Azor once a day. After taking it with the HCT for two weeks, my GFR (glomerular filtration rate) went down 10 points, although my BP (TSX:BP’U) is much better, usually less than 120/80. The drastic change in my GFR concerns me greatly. Is this medication worse than the illness? A few years ago, Vioxx was taken off the market because it caused damage and fatal results in some patients.

Is this a similar medication? I would appreciate any advice you can give me. — P.E.D. ANSWER: This gets a little confusing, so bear with me. Azor is a combination of two medicines: amlodipine and olmesartan. Olmesartan is in the class of ARBs (angiotensin receptor blockers, which work by opening up constricted blood vessels), and these

have the effect of reducing blood flow to the kidneys. GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is a measure of kidney function, and is directly related to the blood flow to the kidneys. So a medicine like olmesartan — or any of the ARBs or ACE inhibitors — will very often drop GFR. A lower GFR means a higher creatinine level, since creatinine is removed from the blood by the kidneys.

Since a higher creatinine means worse kidney function independent of the medication effect, it’s natural for patients to worry that the kidneys are being damaged and want to stop taking the meds.

However, it usually isn’t necessary to stop.

The lower GFR actually protects the kidneys from the effect of high blood pressure. Unless the GFR goes down by 30 percent (or creatinine goes up by 30 percent), we generally don’t stop it. It sounds like the medication is working well for you.

Vioxx is not related to these medicines at all.

AND ENDS

WEST HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut couple has named its baby with help from customers at a Starbucks coffee shop.

Twenty-five-year-old Jennifer James and 24-yearold Mark Dixon of West Haven told the New Haven Register they had been struggling between two names for the boy they are expecting in September, so they decided to put it to a vote.

They placed signs at the Starbucks on the New Haven Green, where they are regulars, asking people to vote for either the name Jackson or Logan.

The couple said it got the idea for the voting based on a system used by that Starbucks location, where customers cast votes for the store’s employee of the month.

UNLV’s Anthony Bennett No. 1

BY BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Anthony Bennett became the first Canadian to be the No. 1 pick and Nerlens Noel tumbled out of the top five Thursday night, a surprising start to the NBA draft.

The Cleveland Cavaliers passed on Noel and Alex Len, who went to Phoenix at No. 5, in favor of the UNLV freshman forward who has starred for Canada’s junior national teams and was the Mountain West Conference player of the year.

There was suspense right until the end, either because the Cavs were unsure who they wanted or were trying to trade the pick. Most predictions had them taking one of the big men, with Noel largely considered the favorite for the No. 1 choice even after a torn ACL that ended his lone season at Kentucky in February.

David Stern, booed heavily in his final draft as commissioner, added to the surprise of the moment by pausing slightly before announcing the Cavs’ pick, their first at No. 1 since taking All-Star Kyrie Irving in 2011.

“I’m just as surprised as anyone else,” Bennett said.

Orlando passed on both of the big men, too, going with Indiana swingman Victor Oladipo with the No. 2 pick.

Washington took Otto Porter Jr. with the third pick, keep-

UNLV’s ANTHONY Bennett smiles after being selected first overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA basketball draft, Thursday in New York. ing the Georgetown star local.

Ten years after the Cavaliers selected LeBron James to start a draft that would include his future NBA championship teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in the top five, this one lacked star power and perhaps even the promise of stardom.

Bennett, Noel and Len are all coming off injuries and couldn’t even work out for teams, but the Cavs decided

Bennett’s shoulder surgery wasn’t enough cause for concern.

Len walked up to meet Stern and collect his orange Suns hat, then sat down near the stage to put on the walking boot he needs for the stress fracture of his left ankle that was discovered after Maryland’s season.

Noel finally went to New Orleans with the next pick, joining last year’s No. 1, An-

thony Davis, and giving the Pelicans two terrific defensive players from Kentucky.

He didn’t seem upset at his fall down the draft board, hugging his mother and shaking hands with Wildcats coach John Calipari.

It was a good start to the night for the Hoosiers, with Cody Zeller going two places after Oladipo to the Charlotte Bobcats.

Kansas guard Ben

McLemore, another player who was considered a potential top-three pick, also dropped, going seventh to Sacramento.

Headed by a lackluster class, the draft promised confusion and second-guessing, with no consensus No. 1 pick and little agreement among the order of the top five.

And with lesser-known names float in the draft, veterans soaked up the spotlight in the hours leading up to it.

Hosting the draft at Barclays Center, the Brooklyn Nets made the biggest news.

A person with knowledge of the talks confirmed a Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO) Sports report that the Nets and Celtics were working on a trade that would bring Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to Brooklyn.

ESPN reported earlier Thursday that Dwight Howard was unlikely to return to the Los Angeles Lakers when he becomes a free agent next month.

The guys coming into the league were glad for the attention they did finally get once their names were called.

“It’s like a weight vest you took off after running five miles,” Oladipo said. “It’s relaxing, man. But at the same time, you know it’s just getting started.”

National player of the year Trey Burke of Michigan went ninth, and Lehigh’s C.J. McCollum rounded out the top 10 by going to Portland.

Worst Wimbledon showing for U.S. men since 1912 LONDON (AP) — What a stark statistic for the nation of Bill Tilden and Don Budge, John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors, Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi: It’s been 101 years since no men from the United States reached Wimbledon’s third round.

And the last time it happened, way back in 1912, no Americans even entered the oldest Grand Slam tournament.

By the end of Thursday, all 11 U.S. men in the 2013 field at the All England Club were gone, with top-seeded Novak Djokovic accounting for the last one by beating 156th-ranked qualifier Bobby Reynolds 7-6 (2), 6-3,

6-1. Earlier in the day, former top-five player James Blake lost to Bernard Tomic of Australia 6-3, 6-4, 7-5, while qualifier Denis Kudla was beaten by Ivan Dodig of Croatia 6-1, 7-6 (4), 7-5.

That trio joined 18th-seeded John Isner, 21st-seeded Sam Querrey, Ryan Harrison, Steve Johnson, Alex Kuznetsov, Wayne Odesnik, Rajeev Ram and Michael Russell on the way home.

“It’s a tough stat to hear, but I still believe, right now, where U.S. tennis is, not too many guys are in their prime. That’s why the numbers are like that. But a lot of guys are, maybe, in the tail end of their careers and a

lot of guys are coming up,” said Kudla, a 20-year-old from Arlington, Va., who is ranked 105th. “Maybe next year, or the year after that, things could change. You have to go through a little bit of a struggle to get some success.”

Led by top-seeded and defending champion Serena Williams, the U.S. women still are represented in singles at Wimbledon this year.

Williams extended her winning streak to 33 matches, the longest on tour since 2000, by eliminating 100th-ranked qualifier Caroline Garcia of France 6-3, 6-2, while 18-yearold Madison Keys knocked off 30th-seeded Mona Barthel of Ger-

many 6-4, 6-2.

Keys next plays 2012 runner-up Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, and Williams goes from a 19-year-old opponent in Garcia to a 42-year-old opponent in Kimiko Date-Krumm, the oldest woman to reach the third round at Wimbledon since the Open era began in 1968.

“I have so much respect for her. I think she’s so inspiring to be playing such high-level tennis at her age,” said Williams, who at 31 is the oldest No. 1 in WTA rankings history. “And she’s a real danger on the grass court, I know that. I definitely will have to be ready.”

NFL criminal cases put focus on vetting

BY BARRY WILNER The Associated Press Two felony charges in one day were more than a bump in the NFL’s offseason. They pointed to an ongoing problem for the league — players who wind up at the center of criminal cases.

Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was arrested Wednesday in Massachusetts, accused of murdering his friend Odin Lloyd. Also Wednesday, Browns rookie linebacker Ausar Walcott was charged with attempted murder in New Jersey.

Both players were cut later in the day by their teams. On Thursday, the league said any club that now wants to sign Hernandez will face a hearing with Commissioner Roger Goodell first.

The question now is whether the veteran tight end and the rookie should have been in the league at all.

“It is difficult, it’s always a balancing act,” says Tony Dungy, who won a Super Bowl as Colts coach and has served as a mentor to players since leaving the NFL, including Michael Vick after the quarterback served federal prison time for dogfighting. “The league has a security department that sends out information, and every team is different in terms of how much its scouting department does and what areas are concentrated on most.

“It’s really a matter of what you do with the information and what your organization feels is important. One thing you have to keep in mind is a lot of the (negative) things that happen come when they are 15 or 17 or 19 years old.”

According to FBI statistics cited by the league, the incidence of NFL players getting arrested is much lower than in the general public. The average annual arrest rate of NFL players is roughly 2 percent of about 3,000 players who go through the league each year, including tryouts and minicamps. That’s about half the arrest rate of the general U.S. population, the league says. The NFL notes the disparity becomes even more dramatic when the group is narrowed to American men ages 20-34.

But Jeff Benedict, author of several books on athletes and crimes, including “Pros and Cons, The Criminals Who Play In The NFL,” believes the FBI statistics are a bad gauge.

“The danger of doing comparisons with the general public is, if you look at these people and their backgrounds, how many of those guys who have been arrested in the FBI numbers have been to college, make a lot of money like NFL players do, and live in safe, good neighborhoods?” Benedict says. “The issue is why any of these guys are doing this when they have all these good things going on in their lives.”

BRIEFS

Sidney falls to Piqua Sidney Legion 217 baseball team fell 4-2 to the Piqua Legion team Tuesday at home.

Dan Borchers was the starting pitcher for Sidney.

“We are still struggling to hit the ball,” said Coach Jason McLain. “Unless we pick up the bats we are not going to win many games. Even though pitching has been very good for us. It has kept us in the games but our bats take us out of a chance to win lately.”

Dalton Bollinger continues to sting the ball. He was 2-3 with another double. Bollinger is 12-20 in the last six games with seven doubles and a home run.

He is hitting for a .500 average for the team this season.

“If we can get the other guys to hit we will be a very good legion baseball team,” said McLain.

The baseball game scheduled for Saturday with Bucyrus at Ohio Wesleyan College, has been changed to Hayes High School, 289 Euclid Ave., Delaware.

Ohio Wesleyan Ball field has been under renovation and has not been completed.

MLB Players Survey

• The Toronto Blue Jays, now the hottest team in baseball, are finally performing as general manager Alex Anthopoulos envisioned when he acquired Jose Reyes, R.A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle and Josh Johnson, et al over the winter. The Jays have climbed over .500 and within five games of the Red Sox. During their recent 11-game winning streak, the Jays’ bullpen has been stellar. In 28.2 innings, the pen has given up just 13 hits and two earned runs. The group, which includes closer Casey Janssen, Brett Cecil, Steve Delabar, Neil Wagner and Aaron Loup, has 31 strikeouts during this stretch and has walked just eight.

• Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers would probably not like to face the San Diego Padres any more this season. In 17.1 innings against the Dodgers’ rival to the south, Kershaw has given up five bombs and a .292 batting average. In his other 65.1 innings, batters are hitting 100 points lower at .192 with just one home run.

Nelson Cruz, Texas The Rangers swept the Cardinals in St. Louis over the weekend. Cruz broke a 4-4 tie on Friday night with a two-run single in the ninth inning. He followed that with a two-run homer to break a 2-2 tie on Saturday to give Texas a 4-2 win. For the week, the slugger batted .379 with three homers and 11 RBIs.

Joe Nathan , Texas The Rangers’ closer was a busy man last week, notching five saves, four of them on consecutive nights. His first two saves came against division rival Oakland as Texas moved back into first place. Then he saved all three wins at St. Louis over the weekend.

Pedro Alvarez, Pittsburgh The third baseman hit safely in all seven games — five wins for the Pirates — and homered in his last four, including a threegame sweep at the Angels. He hit .414 on the week with four homers, 10 RBIs and seven extra-base hits.

Patrick Corbin, Arizona The young lefthander must be wondering what he has to do to get a win. Last week, he had two brilliant starts against the Marlins and Reds. He went eight innings in both games and left the Cincinnati game with a lead. Over his 16 innings, he allowed five hits, five walks and just three runs.

Lucas Sims, Atlanta The Braves’ first-round pick in 2012 from nearby Snellville has proven to be tough to hit.

In his brief professional career, batters are hitting just .202 in 81.1 innings.

June 24, 1968 Detroit’s Jim Northrup connects off of Eddie Fisher and Billy Rohr of the Indians for two grand slams in the Tigers’ 14-3 rout at Cleveland.

June 30, 1970 The Cincinnati Reds open Riverfront Stadium in downtown Cincinnati, but Hank Aaron’s two-run home run in the first inning quickly dampens the spirits of the 51,050 fans in attendance. Pete Rose leads off the bottom of the first with a single for the Reds’ first knock in the stadium. The Braves lead 6-0 in the fourth when pinch-hitter Angel Bravo singles home Tommy Helms with the Reds’ first run in their new digs. Pat Jarvis of Atlanta tosses a complete game, giving up nine hits and two runs.

Redbirds now have two three-game losing streaks this year.

Given up six-plus runs in seven of last 17 games.

Within one game of the best record in baseball.

Jurickson Profar has been working in the outfield.

Road struggles are real: 10-18 in last nine road series.

Since May 19, 7-0 when Bartolo Colon starts, 4-12 otherwise.

Tough road trip to AL West leaders Oakland and Texas this week.

Austin Jackson hitting .457 (.537 OBP) since return from injury.

DHs batting just .200, corners .327.

Need to figure out how to win without Patrick Corbin pitching.

Batting just .219 this month.

Sparkling 2.35 ERA in 19 June games.

Last 16 games before All-Star break are within division.

Next seven games against losing teams.

Achilles heel is 7-12 record in one-run affairs.

Best record in majors in one-run games (14-7).

Outhomered by both Jay Bruce and Pedro Alvarez in June.

Batting a majors worst .202 from the seventh inning on.

Lost eight of their last 13 games vs. losing teams.

Held to three runs or fewer in 44 of 77 games. .267 batting average at home, .230 on the road.

Struggling at 14-22 in last 36 games.

One of two American League teams with losing record at home.

First five spots in lineup batting .282, six through eight, .225.

Batting just .170 with runners in scoring position and two outs.

Only two AL teams have worse run differential.

Worst record in the National League in June.

Batting .342 with bases loaded, .225 with ’em empty.

Won 14 of last 25, so that’s something.

Given up just 20 runs over last eight games.

Earlier this season, Athlon Sports conducted a league-wide anonymous survey of major league players. We asked questions about the best players, managers, GMs, PED use, faithfulness among married players and more. Here are a few results:

Best Pure Hitter Player, Team

Miguel Cabrera, Tigers Robinson Cano, Yankees Joey Votto, Reds Joe Mauer, Twins Mike Trout, Angels Ryan Braun, Brewers Albert Pujols, Angels

% 61.0 6.2 5.5 4.8 4.1 4.1 3.4

Notes: Cabrera gathered more support from the National League (63.9%) than from the AL (58.9%). All of Trout’s votes came from the American League. Mauer was favored strongly by his closest rivals, 8.3% of AL votes compared to just 1.4% in the NL. Votto (8.3% to 2.7%) and Braun (6.9% to 1.4%) received most of their votes from the NL. Interestingly, Matt Kemp received 4.1% of the AL votes, but zilch from his own league.

Notes: Of the 10 per-

Percent Using PEDs cent who believe PED % of use % of votes use is greater than 10 No Idea 2.2 percent, most play in 6.0 0 the NL West (46.2%) 1-5 53.0 6-10 15.9 and AL Central 11-20 5.3 (30.8%). No players 21-30 2.2 in the AL West or NL 31-40 1.5 East suspect use is 41+ 0.7 that rampant.

Best 35-and-over Team

Last week we presented the best of the young guys — 25 and under; now it’s time for the old dudes. Needless to say, this roster is one huge injury risk, and given their age, it seems that the starters would need a six-man rotation. While none of the three outfielders are elite level defenders now, they own a combined 22 Gold Gloves. I’m using Opening Day (March 31) as the cut-off date. Players age 35 or older on that day qualify.

CATCHER A.J. Pierzynski, Texas The ageless Pierzynski won the AL Silver Slugger award last season as the league’s best hitting catcher. Both his batting average and OBP are higher this season. Not bad for an old guy.

FIRST BASE David Ortiz, Boston Big Papi has played just one game at first base this season, which may not be enough for most fantasy leagues, but it’s sufficient for me to qualify him as our first baseman. He’s much better offensively than Paul Konerko or Todd Helton.

SECOND BASE Marco Scutaro, San Francisco Now at age 37, Scutaro has hit .348 since joining the Giants last July, easily the best stretch of his career.

THIRD BASE Michael Young, Philadelphia Young was our second baseman last season, but now takes over at third for the retired Chipper Jones. Having played as many as 155 games in 10 of the past 11 seasons with Texas, Young has missed just seven games this season while batting .287 — .355 in June.

SHORTSTOP Derek Jeter, New York Yankees It’s tough to pick a player who hasn’t suited up this season. But forgive me if I take a chance on the future Hall of Famer over Willie Bloomquist and Jamey Carroll.

Carlos Beltran of the St. Louis Cardinals should be an All-Star this season, even at age 35.

LEFT FIELD Carlos Beltran, St. Louis The veteran is new to the 35-and-over team this year and is sixth in the National League in home runs, 11th in RBIs and 15th in average.

CENTER FIELD Torii Hunter, Detroit After hitting a career-high .313 last season, Hunter is a repeat choice for this team. He’s found a home in the No. 2 hole in Detroit.

RIGHT FIELD Ichiro Suzuki, New York Yankees At age 39, Ichiro seems to be enjoying life in New York. He’s closing in on 2,700 hits after beginning his MLB career at age 27.

STARTING PITCHERS Bartolo Colon, Oakland One of just two 10-game winners in the AL, Colon has won his last seven starts with a 1.41 ERA. Bronson Arroyo, Cincinnati The lanky righthander is the lone Red eligible for the team. He is more than carrying his weight with a 6-5 record, 3.13 ERA and 1.172 WHIP.

A.J. Burnett, Pittsburgh Although he’s currently nursing a calf injury, Burnett is a huge part of the Pirates’ success this season.

Tim Hudson, Atlanta Hudson has a 1.82 ERA and opponents are batting .205 over his last five starts. But he has an 0-3 record to show for his work.

Jake Westbrook, St. Louis Like many pitchers his age, Westbrook spent some time on the DL this season, but has a 1.76 ERA when healthy.

R.A. Dickey, Toronto Neither Dickey nor Andy Pettitte has been too sharp this season, but we need a veteran presence, and Dickey’s Cy Young season in 2012 convinces me he has a higher upside. With this group, six starters seems appropriate.

BULLPEN Mariano Rivera, New York Yankees There’s no doubt who the closer is on this squad. Mo just keeps breaking bats and getting outs. At age 43, his 26 saves have him on pace for about 56, a career-high. His 1.61 ERA would also be a career-best.

Jason Grilli, Pittsburgh The Pirates’ closer entered this season at age 36 with five career saves. He’s blown just one of his 27 opportunities so far in 2013.

Joe Nathan, Texas He’s blown just one save this season and over his last 18 appearances, he’s held opponents to a paltry .377 OPS. Grant Balfour, Oakland The A’s closer hasn’t blown any of his 18 save opportunities this season and owns a 2.03 ERA. Bruce Chen, Kansas City Chen started an AL-high 34 games last season, but has quietly accepted his new role in 2013 and responded with a 1.93 ERA. He’s the sole lefty in the pen.

Joel Peralta, Tampa Bay With 19 holds and no blown saves, Peralta narrowly beat out Matt Thornton of the White Sox. BENCH Jose Molina, Tampa Bay Every team must have a backup catcher, and Molina is batting .271 and playing stellar defense for the Rays.

Lance Berkman, Texas The long-time Astro is once again hitting in Texas. He carries a .260 average with 33 ribbies.

Eric Chavez, Arizona The dreaded oblique strain has had Chavez on the shelf since the end of May. Prior to that he was hitting .325, which included .400 in 19 games in May. Willie Bloomquist, Arizona Activated from the DL in June, the defensive whiz is batting .340 and can play all over the infield.

Raul Ibanez, Seattle He’ll forever be known among trivia buffs as the guy who pinch-hit for ARod in the playoffs — and homered.

He turned 41 earlier this month, but has 17 homers and 42 RBIs this season.

Can you name the only current franchise that has never had a Rookie of the Year?

Record for Max Scherzer of the Detroit Tigers, the first 11-game winner in the majors. The righthander is pitching his way toward a Cy Young award. The season is less than half over, but in his first 103.1 innings, Scherzer has 122 strikeouts and has given up just 70 hits and allowed 24 walks.

June batting average for the Dodgers’ Yasiel Puig, the best mark in the majors.

Pitchers with a sub-3.00 ERA this season among pitchers who qualify. In 2012, there were just 10 pitchers who ended the season with an ERA that low. Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers led all pitchers with a 2.53 ERA last season, but 10 pitchers have ERAs lower than that so far this year.

Matt Harvey’s WHIP (walks and hits allowed per inning) this season, the best in the majors.

ERA for Alex Torres of the Tampa Bay Rays. Among all pitchers with as many as 20 innings this season, he is the only hurler not to allow an earned run. He’s allowed just four hits, five walks and whiffed 27.

Percent of base stealers caught by Matt Wieters of Baltimore. That is the best percentage among the 18 catchers with enough innings to qualify.

Percent of base stealers caught by A.J. Pierzynski of Texas, the worst percentage.

TRIVIA ANSWER: Arizona Diamondbacks

• As we approach the halfway mark of the season, the Rookie of the Year race in the National League is much more interesting than that in the AL. The Cardinals’ Shelby Miller (8-5, 2.35 ERA), Hyun-Jin Ryu of the Dodgers (6-3, 2.96), Miami’s Jose Fernandez (4-4, 3.05), Pittsburgh’s Justin Wilson (5-1, 2.08) and the Mets’ Zack Wheeler, just recently called up, are strong pitching candidates in the NL. Atlanta’s Evan Gattis (14 home runs), San Diego’s Jedd Gyorko (.284-8-25) and Arizona’s Didi Gregorius (.293-4-16) have played integral roles in their teams’ success. Anthony Rendon has contributed a .333 average in limited time in Washington and the Dodgers’ Yasiel Puig (.425) can’t be ignored. That’s a pretty stout ROY race. In the AL, the Rangers’ Nick Tepesch (3-6, 4.60), Oakland’s Dan Straily (4-2, 5.00) and Texas’ Justin Grimm (6-5, 5.57) are the best arms. J.B. Shuck of the Angels is batting .290. Jose Iglesias of Boston is batting .426 since getting the call in May. Nick Franklin of Seattle, Jurickson Profar of Texas and David Lough of the Royals are getting some significant at-bats. Tampa Bay’s Wil Myers was called up last week and is immediately a candidate.
