Kasich praises budget changes to school funding

BY REGINA GARCIA CANO Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — Despite being foiled on Medicaid expansion, Gov. John Kasich praised the Legislature on Friday for passing a spending bill he says will generate jobs through tax cuts and tying college funding to graduation rates.

Kasich predicted he and legislators will agree by the end of the year on how to restructure the state’s Medicaid program, which provides coverage for one of every five Ohio residents.

“We believe we still have ample time to get this done,”

Kasich said at a press conference on the state budget with Ohio Senate President Keith Faber and Ohio House Speaker William Batchelder, both fellow Republicans.

Kasich had exhorted legislators to take advantage of Medicaid expansion made available to states under President Barack Obama’s federal health care overhaul, which would bring the state federal dollars. The expansion is a key component of the Affordable Care Act, which requires that nearly all Americans have health insurance beginning in 2014 or pay a penalty.

The state Legislature on Thursday okayed a $62 bil-

lion, two-year operating budget that cuts personal income taxes, changes the way public schools and universities are funded, and adds abortion restrictions.

Tax changes in the bill will mean an estimated $2.7 billion in overall tax cuts over three years, including through a phased in incometax cut for individuals and small businesses. The cut is partly paid for by increasing the state sales tax rate from 5.5 percent to 5.75 percent.

A Kasich 2014 Democratic opponent, Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald, called it “indefensible” to shift taxes as the bill does.

ANNA — Police are looking for a man who robbed the Shell station at knifepoint of about $1,245 Wednesday night.

Anna Police Chief Scott Evans said the robbery occurred shortly before 11 p.m.

A man entered the store at 608 E. Main St., got a bottled drink and brought it to the counter. He asked the clerk for cigarettes, then said he forgot his wallet, and left the store. When he re-entered, he pulled a knife, jumped over the counter, and demanded money. The clerk opened the cash register and the man grabbed money. He then fled on foot.

Plaintiffs in gay marriage case wed

BY LISA LEFF Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The lead plaintiffs in the U.S. Supreme Court case that overturned California’s samesex marriage ban tied the knot at San Francisco City Hall on Friday, about an hour after a federal appeals court freed same-sex couples to obtain marriage licenses for the first time in 4 1/2 years.

State Attorney General Kamala Harris presided at the wedding of Kris Perry and Sandy Stier, of Berkeley, as hundreds of supporters looked on and cheered. The couple sued to overturn the state’s voter-approved gay marriage ban along with Jeff Katami and Paul Zarrillo, of Burbank, who planned to marry Friday evening at Los Angeles City Hall.

Speaker questions top Ohio judge on school funding

BY JULIE CARR SMYTH Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — The leader of the Ohio House said Friday that Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor might need to bow out of school-funding litigation after recent public statements that the state formula remains unconstitutional.

House Republican Speaker William Batchelder, of Medina, raised the issue with reporters during a joint news conference with Gov. John Kasich and Senate President Keith Faber on the state budget.

“I do not know if the chief justice will be allowed to sit on this case, since when I was an appellate judge if I made

advance comments on any case before me, I had to take myself off that consideration in that court,” he said.

O’Connor told editors of the Columbus Dispatch for a story published June 4 that she didn’t think the status of Ohio’s funding formula had changed since the court last ruled it unconstitutional in 2002.

Beginning in 1997, the court issued four decisions in the case, holding that the state’s funding formula was overly reliant on property taxes that generate unequal revenue between rich and poor districts.

“I don’t think it’s changed,” O’Connor said of legislators’ response to the DeRolph decision.

“I’m waiting like everyone else to see what the legislature and the governor is going to do with it.”

O’Connor said in a statement Friday that what she said has been misunderstood.

“I was not commenting on a pending case because there is no pending case,” she said.

“I was not indicating how I would rule if there were a case.” She said if a new case should come before the court dealing with Ohio’s school-funding formula, she would participate.

“I have made no statements that would require me to recuse myself,” she said.

Batchelder, a former judge, said Friday that his reading of the 2002 DeRolph decision was

different: “In the end, the Supreme Court said that what was being done was adequate.

Read the opinion; see what they said.” O’Connor didn’t join the court until after the final DeRolph decision.

William Phillis, whose Ohio Coalition for Equity and Adequacy in School Funding brought the suit, said the court was clear that constitutional questions had not been resolved and said the judges wrote that the system needed to be overhauled.

“The speaker must be thinking of some other case,” Phillis said.

All activity in the case ended in 2003, so O’Connor has no current suit to recuse herself from, Phillis said.

Wrong-way crashes infrequent but deadly COLUMBUS (AP) — Wrong-way crashes on Ohio’s divided roads, though infrequent, generally are more severe than other types of wrecks and involve multiple vehicles, resulting in a fatality rate that’s much higher than the rate for overall crashes in the state, according to a State Highway Patrol analysis released Friday.

The patrol analyzed 60 crashes that occurred between January 2011 and April 2013 and resulted in 31 fatalities and 85 more injuries.

The fatality rate for those crashes was 37 percent, or about 100 times the overall fatality rate for the 600,000 Ohio crashes during that time.

The report, which provides a statistical breakdown that supports

what the patrol had noticed anecdotally, is aimed at better informing travelers, law enforcement, engineers and Ohio policymakers about circumstances of wrong-way crashes and the dangers such drivers pose on interstate highways and other highspeed roads.

“A lot of times, we never can understand really why it happened,” but the report points to some clues and commonalities, said Lt. Anne Ralston, a patrol spokeswoman.

All but a handful of the 60 crashes involved at least one vehicle other than the wrong-way traveler. More than 80 percent of the crashes happened at night, and more than half the wrong-way drivers were suspected of drug or alcohol impairment.

BUDGET “Overall, this budget is just a train wreck for the middle class,” he said during a Friday news conference. “What you’re seeing is income-tax (relief) for the very wealthiest people in the state being paid for by really increasing the tax burden on the middle class and the poor.”

Lawmakers revamped ground rules for funding public colleges and universities to more closely tie graduation rates to the schools’ state aid. Under the plan, which Kasich is expected to sign into law by a Sunday deadline, universities won’t receive a portion of their per-pupil funding until the student has graduated. Kasich said this

From Page 1 will give students’ parents more confidence that their children will finish their degree.

“Stop and think about how many students enter our very expensive four-year schools, spend two years and drop out, have no certificate, no degree, nothing to show other than high bills,” Kasich told reporters at the Governor’s Residence.

Kasich declined to say what items he might line-item veto from the budget bill. Various groups are urging him to strike a provision that limits the administration’s ability to add new Medicaid enrollees and to remove provisions effectively defunding Planned Parenthood and

requiring doctors to share with a pregnant woman signs of the fetal heartbeat before the woman gets an abortion.

FitzGerald said that if elected governor, he would veto all items limiting women’s access to reproductive health care, and he called on Kasich to do the same.

“These types of divisive restrictions have no place in a budget bill,” FitzGerald said. “Unfortunately, there was no opportunity to have a fair and free and open debate on those. They were tucked into a budget bill and rammed through at the last moment.”

Kasich acknowledged Friday that either he or members of his staff

were aware of most provisions as they moved in and out of the bill, but he defended the Legislature’s prerogative to put its stamp on the legislation. He said that in considering what to veto, “keep in mind I’m prolife.”

FitzGerald criticized Kasich for an inability to build consensus, given that he was unable to persuade fellow Republicans who lead both legislative chambers to support Medicaid expansion and a tax increase on oil and gas drillers.

“The governor somehow managed to offend both local communities and the oil and gas industry, and not get the proposal passed in the first place,” he said.

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Saturday, June 29, the 180th day of 2013.

There are 185 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 29, 1613, London’s original Globe Theatre, where many of Shakespeare’s plays were performed, was destroyed by a fire sparked by a cannon shot during a performance of “Henry VIII.” (No fatalities were reported.)

On this date: • In 1767, Britain approved the Townshend Revenue Act, which imposed import duties on glass, paint, oil, lead, paper and tea shipped to the American colonies.

(Colonists bitterly protested, prompting Parliament to repeal the duties — except for tea.)

• In 1880, France annexed Tahiti, which became a French colony on December 30, 1880.

• In 1913, the Second Balkan War broke out as Bulgaria attacked Serbia and Greece, its former allies from the First Balkan War. • In 1927, the first transPacific airplane flight was completed as Lt. Lester J. Maitland and Lt. Albert F. Hegenberger arrived at Wheeler Field in Hawaii aboard the Bird of Paradise, an Atlantic-Fokker C2, after flying 2,400 miles from Oakland, Calif., in 25 hours, 50 minutes.

• In 1933, actor-director Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle died in New York at age 46.

• In 1941, Polish statesman, pianist and composer Ignacy Jan Paderewski died in New York at age 80.

• In 1954, the Atomic Energy Commission voted against reinstating Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer’s access to classified information.

• In 1956, actress Marilyn Monroe married playwright Arthur Miller in a civil ceremony in White Plains, N.Y. (The couple also wed in a Jewish ceremony on July 1; the marriage lasted 4 years).

• In 1967, Jerusalem was re-unified as Israel removed barricades separating the Old City from the Israeli sector.

• In 1972, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a trio of death sentences, saying the way they had been imposed constituted cruel and unusual punishment.

How about Buzz?

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 24year-old 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.

“We saw that and thought we might as well see how it works,” Dixon said.

They received about 1,800 votes in the coffee cup serving as a ballot box. The couple said voters did not limit themselves to the two choices they were given.

“We’ve gotten Obama, Jebediah, Lincoln. Someone put (a) write-in, Webster,” James said.

West bakes in scorching heat

BY CHRIS CARLSON Associated Press PHOENIX (AP) — A blazing heat wave expected to send the mercury soaring to nearly 120 degrees in Phoenix and Las Vegas over the weekend settled across the West on Friday, threatening to ground airliners and raising fears that pets will get burned on the scalding pavement.

The heat was so punishing that rangers took up positions at trailheads at Lake Mead in Nevada to persuade people not to hike. Zookeepers in Phoenix hosed down the elephants and fed tigers frozen fish snacks.

And tourists at California’s Death Valley took photos of the harsh landscape and a thermometer that read 121.

The mercury there was expected to reach nearly 130 through the weekend — just short of the 134-degree reading from a century ago that stands as the highest temperature ever recorded on Earth.

“You have to take a picture of something like this. Otherwise no one will believe you,” said Laura McAlpine, visiting Death Valley from Scotland on Friday.

A VISITOR to the Furnace Creek Visitor Center walks by a digital thermometer in Death Valley National Park Friday in Furnace Creek, Calif. Excessive heat warnings will continue for much of the Desert Southwest as building high pressure triggers major warming in eastern California, Nevada and AriThe heat is not expected to break until Monday or Tuesday.

The scorching weather presented problems for airlines because high temperatures can make it more difficult for planes to take off. Hot air reduces lift and also can diminish engine performance.

Planes taking off in the heat may need longer runways or may have to shed weight by carrying less fuel or cargo.

Smaller jets and propeller planes are more likely to be affected than bigger airliners that are better equipped for extreme temperatures.

However, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport officials reported no such heat-related problems with any flights by Friday evening.

The National Weather Service said Phoenix reached 116 on Friday, two degrees

short of the expected high, in part because of a light layer of smoke from wildfires in neighboring New Mexico that shielded the blazing sun. Las Vegas still was expecting near record highs over the weekend approaching 116 degrees while Phoenix was forecast to hit nearly 120. The record in Phoenix is 122.

Temperatures are also expected to soar across Utah and into Wyoming and Idaho, with triple-digit heat forecast for the Boise area. Cities in Washington state that are better known for cool, rainy weather should break the 90s next week.

“This is the hottest time of the year, but the temperatures that we’ll be looking at for Friday through Sunday, they’ll be toward the top,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Mark O’Malley. “It’s going to be baking hot across much of the entire West.”

The heat is the result of a high-pressure system brought on by a shift in the jet stream, the high-altitude air current that dictates weather patterns. The jet stream has been more erratic in the past few years.

Obama’s ties to Mandela loom over South Africa visit

BY JULIE PACE Associated Press JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Inspired by Nelson Mandela’s struggles in South Africa, a young Barack Obama joined campus protests in the U.S. against the racist rule that kept Mandela locked away in prison for nearly three decades.

Now a historic, barrierbreaking figure himself, President Obama arrived in South Africa Friday to find a country drastically transformed by Mandela’s influence — and grappling with the beloved 94-year-old’s mortality.

It was unclear whether deteriorating Mandela’s health would allow Obama to make a hospital visit. The former South African leader is battling a recurring lung infection and is said to be in critical condition at a hospital in the South African capital of Pretoria.

Speaking to reporters on Air Force One as he made his way to Johannesburg, Obama

said he would gauge the situation after he arrived.

“I don’t need a photo-op,” he said. “And the last thing I want to do is to be in any way obtrusive at a time when the family is concerned about Nelson Mandela’s condition.”

Obama’s visit to South Africa is seen as something of a tribute to the man who helped inspire his own political activism. The president will pay homage to Mandela at Robben Island, the prison where he spent 18 of his 27 years in prison. And with South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress, facing questions about its effectiveness, Obama will urge the government and the South African people to live up to the democratic example set by their first black president.

“He’s a personal hero, but I don’t think I’m unique in that regard,” Obama said during a news conference Thursday in Senegal, the first stop on his weeklong Africa trip. “I think he’s a hero for the world. And

if and when he passes from this place, one thing I think we’ll all know is that his legacy is one that will linger on throughout the ages.”

Obama and Mandela have met just once, a hastily arranged meeting in a Washington hotel room in 2005 when Obama was a U.S. senator. A photo of the meeting hangs in Obama’s personal office at the White House, showing a smiling Mandela sitting on a chair, his legs outstretched, as the young senator reaches down to shake his hand. A copy of the photo also hangs in Mandela’s office in Johannesburg.

Since then, the two have spoken occasionally by telephone, including after the 2008 election, when Mandela called Obama to congratulate him on his victory. The U.S. president called Mandela in 2010 after the South African leader’s young granddaughter was killed in a car accident.

Obama also wrote the introduction to Mandela’s memoir, “Conversations With Myself.”

Despite the two men’s infrequent contact, people close to Obama say his one-on-one meeting with Mandela left a lasting impression.

“He is one of the few people who the president has respected and admired from afar who, when he met him, exceeded his expectations,” said Valerie Jarrett, Obama’s senior adviser and close friend.

Obama’s own political rise has drawn inevitable comparisons to the South African leader. Both are Nobel Peace Prize winners and the first black men elected to lead their countries.

But their paths to power have been vastly different.

While Mandela fought to end an oppressive government from the confines of a prison cell, Obama attended elite schools and rose through the U.S. political system before running for president.

“President Obama would believe that the challenges he has faced pale in comparison to those faced by President Mandela,” Jarrett said.

Neighbor testifies about Martin-Zimmerman fight

BY MIKE SCHNEIDER Associated Press SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — Two neighbors and a police officer gave accounts Friday in George Zimmerman’s murder trial that seemed to bolster the neighborhood watch volunteer’s contention that he was on his back and being straddled by Trayvon Martin during a confrontation with the teen.

Neighbor Jonathan Good said it appeared the unarmed teen was straddling Zimmerman during their confrontation, while another neighbor, Jonathan Manalo, said Zimmerman seemed credible

when he said immediately after the fight that he had shot Martin in self-defense.

Officer Tim Smith said on the witness stand that Zimmerman’s backside was covered in grass and wetter than his front side.

All three were called as prosecution witnesses on the fifth day of testimony.

Good, who had perhaps the best view of the fight of any witness, said he did not see anyone’s head being slammed into the concrete sidewalk, which Zimmerman has said Martin did to him. Good initially testified that it appeared “there were strikes being thrown, punches being

thrown,” but during detailed questioning he said he saw only “downward” arm movements being made.

Zimmerman has claimed that he fatally shot 17-yearold Martin last year in self-defense as the Miami-area teen was banging his head into the concrete sidewalk behind the townhomes in a gated community.

But under prosecution questioning, Jonathan Good said he never saw anyone being attacked that way during the fight between Zimmerman and Martin.

“I couldn’t see that,” Good said moments later while being cross-examined.

WED represented thousands of couples like themselves in their fight for marriage equality,” Harris, who had asked the appeals court to act swiftly, said during Stier and Perry’s brief ceremony.

“Through the ups and downs, the struggles and the triumphs, they came out victorious.”

Harris declared Perry, 48, and Stier, 50, “spouses for life,” but during their vows, they took each other as “lawfully wedded wife.” One of their twin sons served as ringbearer.

Although the couple have fought for the right to wed for years, their wedding came together in a flurry when a

Good, the second person to take the witness stand Friday, said he heard a noise behind his townhome in February 2012, and he saw what looked like a tussle when he stepped out onto his patio to see what was happening.

He said he yelled, “What’s going on? Stop it.”

Good testified he saw a person in black clothing on top of another person with “white or red” clothing. He said he couldn’t see faces but it looked like the person on the bottom had lighter skin. Martin was black and was wearing a dark hoodie. Zimmerman identifies as Hispanic and was wearing a red jacket.

From Page 1 three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a brief order Friday afternoon dissolving, “effective immediately,” a stay it imposed on gay marriages while the lawsuit challenging the ban advanced through the courts.

Sponsors of California’s same-sex marriage ban called the appeals court’s swift action “outrageous.”

“The resumption of samesex marriage this day has been obtained by illegitimate means. If our opponents rejoice in achieving their goal in a dishonorable fashion, they should be ashamed,” said Andy Pugno, general counsel for a coalition of religious con-

servative groups that sponsored Proposition 8.

“It remains to be seen whether the fight can go on, but either way, it is a disgraceful day for California,” Pugno said.

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 Wednesday that Proposition 8’s sponsors lacked authority to defend the measure in court once Harris and Gov. Jerry Brown, both Democrats, refused to do so.

The decision lets stand a trial judge’s declaration that the ban, approved by voters in November 2008, violates the civil rights of gay Californians and cannot be enforced.

Under Supreme Court rules, the losing side in a legal

dispute has 25 days to ask the high court to rehear the case.

The court said earlier this week that it would not finalize its ruling in the Proposition 8 case until after that time had elapsed.

It was not immediately clear whether the appeals court’s action would be halted by the high court, but Gov. Jerry Brown directed California counties to start performing same-sex marriages immediately in the wake of it.

A memo from Brown’s Department of Public Health said “same-sex marriage is again legal in California” and ordered county clerks to resume issuing marriage licenses to gay couples.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCIS DRAKE What kind of day will Monday be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign.

For Monday, July 1, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be patient with family members today, because ego conflicts are likely (possibly including children or about children). Tempers easily can flare!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Avoid quarrels with siblings, neighbors and relatives today because everyone is chomping at the bit. People are easily slighted, easily angered and quick to retort. Run away and hide!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Intense encounters about financial matters might occur today. You might be at serious odds with someone. In addition, something you own might be broken or lost.

Be careful.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)

You might encounter a breakdown in a relationship today, or you might have to come face to face with someone over a disagreement.

Something has to be resolved.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is not an easy day dealing with others, because something hidden or behind the scenes makes things difficult.

No one is talking about the elephant in the room. Patience is your only recourse. (Don’t mention the elephant.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Power struggles with others, especially in group situations, might occur today. Definitely avoid areas prone to violence or crime. This is a very touchy day.

areas prone to violence.

Don’t fight today; withdraw and live to fight another day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Definitely do not discuss controversial sublike politics, jects religion and racial issues. People are intense, intolerant and passionately blind today. (Easy does it.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Strong disagreements about money and possessions are likely today.

This is not the day to ask to borrow anything or, for that matter, lend it.

Be cool.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Partners and close friends might be fighting today because everything is black and white, and people are not open to forgiveness and tolerance. Avoid all this if you can.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Don’t be pushy at work today, because it will only lead to bad feelings. Even if you see better ways of doing something, keep it to yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Be tolerant and gentle with children today, because ego battles could create hissy fits.

Remember that you’re the adult. Be forgiving and patient. In other words, demonstrate adult behavior so that your kids can learn from you.

YOU BORN TODAY You are sensitive by nature. You have a gift for being able to see someone else’s point of view, which helps you in counseling, acting, writing and relating to others.

You are confident, capable and surprisingly adaptable. You also have a social conscience. Your year ahead will encompass a change, perhaps as significant as something that occurred around 2004.

Students build model city In the past, education was driven by the three Rs: reading, writing and arithmetic.

Now the focus is on STEM: science, engineering, math, and technology.

For the students in the Science Engineering Enrichment Discovery II (SEED) class at Sidney High School, the lesson was learned through a hands-on project in which they had to build a sustainable model city, creating a community that ensured residents’ lifestyles and community activities would conserve energy, promote local economy and strive to approach carbon neutrality.

The SEED program is a product of a 21st Century grant written by the Shelby County Educational Service Center (ESC).

It has been in place for four years. Students involved in the program represented a combination of regular day school, Opportunity and Shelby School County On-Line Learning Academy students.

The students were asked to think outside the box about the environment and how people affect the environment by their actions.

For the sustainable city project, students were divided into four groups of three and submitted design proposals for the city. The best design was chosen by the class and construction began at the beginning of March.

Prior to construction, the students researched

community demographics, zoning, energy-efficient housing, environmental security, food production and distribution, government and green industry.

Students gave oral presentations on the areas of the city they were responsible for and also submitted technical papers.

“I learned so much about utilizing green energy and living,” said Austin Taijeron, a senior.

“My part of the project was commerce. I had to develop a company that would generate jobs to support residences. I looked at statistics and decided that a food distribution plant similar to Freshway here in Sidney would be a good industry for our town.”

The city, designed to have an area of 1.25 square miles, featured a clean grid layout for streets with only stop signs and a roundabout, wind turbines, a recycling center, a food distribution plant, and solar panels atop every building, among other things.

All buildings and homes were designed and built to specifications that would lessen the carbon footprint.

Jacob Blankenship talked about utilities and the city’s ability to capture energy through its solar panels and wind turbines and sell that back to the energy plant, thereby allowing the city to make money.

Julian Shiverdecker discussed the government setup of the community, having city

JACOB BLANKENSHIP talks about the SEED city which he helped to create in the SEED II class at Sidney High School this spring. council structured with six council members and one administrator.

“A sustainable city requires environmental rules and regulations.

The purpose of the government is to set and maintain those regulations, especially to ensure that aspects of the city stay green, keeping it sustainable,” said Shiverdecker.

“The whole point of it is to create the smallest carbon footprint.” He discussed the intentional placement of the wind turbines in an effort to curb aesthetic pollution.

“Ideally we would want our turbines positioned in the southwest corner of the town, but

the noise would then carry across the town, and that’s not aesthetically pleasing. Instead we placed them at the northeast corner of the town, keeping them effective,” he said.

The SEED courses were taught by Bill Hoewischer, of ESC, with Bill Stratton, of SHS, and Missy Bennett, of ESC, serving in advisory roles.

Students in the class were Devon Brown, Tommy Austin, Brandon Schutte, Taijeron, Guadalupe Marrufo, Curtis Perrin, Taric Cox, Cory Harms, Heather West, Faith Osburn, Shiverdecker and Blankenship.

United Way announces special project grant awards The Shelby County United Way has announced nine special project grants awarded during the second quarter.

The following agencies were awarded: Agape Distribution, $2,500 for the Feinstein Food Match Program; Sidney Middle School, $250 for the Real Money Real World Program; Shelby County Arc, $2,500 for a four-day summer camp for youth with special needs; Shelby County Family and Children First, $350 for programming at the Shelby County Fair; Sidney City Schools, $17,500 for the Alternative School; Wilma Valentine Creative

Learning Center, $3,000 for summer programming for pre-school children with disabilities; Elizabeth New Life Center, $1,660 to purchase IPads and apps to help with pregnancy consultations; Shelby County Educational Service Center, $2,500 for the Parent Project program; Clear Creek Farm, $1,300 to purchase equipment for its youth to perform yard work for seniors; and Shelby County Counseling Center, $1,500 for counselors to provide Career and College Awareness programming to at-risk youth at Clear Creek Farms.

“The board of trustees approved the Special

Projects recommendation to raise the recommended maximum award limit from $2,500 to $3,500, with a limit to the number of times an agency can apply per calendar year,” said Special Projects Chairman Rick Lunsford. “The board still has the discretion to review and approve projects greater than $3,500.

Our annual budget for special projects will remain the same at $60,000. We feel the new limit of $3,500 will help us award the entire $60,000 annually and spread the programming to more agencies.” Both the new dollar limit and the once-per-year application are effective Monday.

Group plans ‘An Evening with Tully and Taylor’ ST. MARYS — The Auglaize County Historical Society will host “An Evening with Tully and Taylor” on July 22, at 7 p.m. at the St. Marys Post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, 1309 E. Spring St. The event will include a screening of a new documentary film about author and Auglaize County native Jim Tully titled, “Road Kid to Writer — The Tracks of Jim Tully.” A concert by Eric Taylor, widely considered “a sage musician, lyrical genius, and a master of the guitar,” will then follow. The public is invited to attend.

Who are Jim Tully and Eric Taylor? Jim Tully has been described as “the most famous writer you’ve never heard of.”

Son of an Irish ditchdigger, Jim Tully (18861947) left his hometown of St. Marys in 1901. According to Kent State University Press, which published his biography, “Jim Tully: American Writer, Irish Rover, Hollywood Brawler,” Tully spent most of his teenage years drifting across the country as a “road kid,” scrambling into boxcars, sleeping in hobo jungles, avoiding railroad cops, begging meals from back doors, and haunting public libraries. After six years on the road, he jumped off a railroad car in Kent, Ohio, with wild aspirations of becoming a writer. While chasing his dream, Tully worked as a chain maker, boxer, newspaper reporter, and tree surgeon. All the while he was crafting his memories of the road into a dark and astonishing chronicle of the American underclass.

After moving to Hollywood and working for Charlie Chaplin, Tully began to write a stream of critically acclaimed books mostly about his road years, including “Beggars of Life,” “Circus

Parade,” “Blood on the Moon,” “Shadows of Men” and “Shanty Irish.”

He quickly established himself as a major American author and used his status to launch a parallel career as a Hollywood journalist.

Much as his gritty books shocked the country; his magazine articles on movies shocked Hollywood.

Tully’s biographers, Paul Bauer and Mark Dawidziak, recently worked with filmmaker Mark Wade Stone as he developed and created a documentary about Jim Tully, complete with much Auglaize County footage, as well as several interviews conducted here (for more information visit the Road Kid to Writer Facebook page). Eric Taylor was inspired by the Tully biography to write what has become the title track of the documentary — basically, Tully’s biography in a song. Taylor also provided instrumental compositions based on the song that will be laced throughout the program.

“We are so excited about and grateful for the opportunity that Paul Bauer, Mark Dawidziak, Mark Wade Stone and Eric Taylor have given us here in Auglaize County,” said Historical Society administrator Rachel Barber. “To celebrate the life of such an acclaimed Auglaize County native as Jim Tully through his new documentary is a wonderful opportunity.

To extend the celebration with the music of such a renowned musician as Eric Taylor takes the evening to the level of ‘amazing.’ “ Tickets for “An Evening with Tully and Taylor” are $20 each and are currently on sale.

They are available from the following locations: St. Marys Chamber of Commerce, Southwestern Auglaize County Chamber of Commerce

Historical Society plans Trivia Night ST. MARYS — The Auglaize County Historical Society will host its second annual Trivia Night on July 12, at 7:30 p.m. at the St. Marys Eagles, 404 E. Spring St. Local residents are invited to support the Historical Society and put together a team from their workplace, church, organization, family or friends to compete for the title of “The Smartest People in Auglaize County,” a title won by Miltner Law Firm, New Knoxville, in 2012.

“We had a great time with our first trivia competition, lots of laughs and good-natured rivalry among the groups, who represented all corners of the county. We hope for an even bigger turnout this year,” said Rachel Barber, administrator of the Historical Society.

In addition to an engraved silver tray and ribbons for the winners, teams will compete for more than $1,500 in prizes.Trivia basics: • Participants must live or work in Auglaize County; • Teams may include as many as six members;• Questions will represent various subjects (and are not limited to history); • The speed portion of the qualifying rounds has been eliminated. To those 2012 participants who hated the buzzer: the buzzer is gone; • Wapakoneta resident and St. Marys Memorial High School instructor and Quiz Bowl adviser Chad Doll will serve as master of ceremonies and judge.

The per-team cost is $100, with all proceeds to benefit the work of the Auglaize County Historical Society.

The public is welcome to attend Trivia Night as audience members without charge to cheer on their favorite team.

On the same evening, the Historical Society will also host a chicken and fish fry fundraiser at the St. Marys Eagles from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Dinners will include chicken or fish, french fries, cole slaw, roll and butter. (Dinners are all you can eat, except for carryouts.) Tickets are available from any Historical Society trustee, the St. Marys Chamber of Commerce, and Moulton Vet Clinic. Presale is $7.50 per person or $8 the day of the dinner.

The next event was to be the double showing of the movie “Jimmy” during GOBA. Following that is Scarletta in concert on July 27.

Amy Breinich, DBA director, reported: • Concerning the Lucky Barrel, there was discussion about creating a database where patrons can sign up electronically and on paper. Then the drawing would occur. This would allow the prize amount to grow and possibly increase interest and participation. This will be further discussed. The DBA will be looking for the next business interested in hosting the barrel for July.

• Trash continues to be an issue around the downtown. Trash receptacles are overflowing and people are dumping their trash in the alleys.

It was suggested that the DBA do a monthly/quarterly cleanup to help with the situation. The trash pickup schedule will be verified to ensure that there is a place to put trash at all times.

• The annual Father’s Day promotion wrap-up was to be held June 17 at noon and a winner was to be drawn. Rusty Eilerman was thanked for donating the gift of the four Dayton Dragons tickets and a parking pass.

• Downtown flowers are blooming and looking great. Everyone is encouraged to water and maintain as needed to keep them looking nice.

• The GOBA schedule was finalized and downtown was to be the primary location for the entertainment and activities. Poplar Street, between Main and Ohio avenues, was to be closed the evening of June 21 from noon to 9 p.m. This will help accommodate the crowds, entertainment and local nonprofit groups set up as food vendors.

• The Great Sidney Farmer’s Market opened May 25. This year’s market will run until Oct. 12 every Saturday morning from 8 a.m. to noon.

There are new vendors as well as regular mar-

Home sales rise in May The number of homes sold across Ohio rose 16.2 percent in May, as the market posted yearover-year gains in activity for the 23rd consecutive month, according to the Ohio Association of Realtors.

“With each passing month, the Ohio housing market is continuing to make significant, steady progress in its effort to fully recover from the economic challenges wrought by the recession,” said Thomas J. Williams, president of the Ohio Association of Realtors. “Attaining 23 consecutive months of gains in sales activity – our longest stretch in un-

interrupted growth in 16 years of tracking Ohio home sales – is a clear indicator of growing consumer confidence and a renewed appreciation that housing is a solid, long-term investment.

Sales through the first five months of 2013 reached 48,255, a 15.8 percent increase from the 41,665 sales posted during the same period a year ago. The average sales price (January through May) this year is $133,747, a 6.3 percent increase from the $125,846 mark set during the period a year ago.

Total dollar volume this year is nearly $6.5

billion, a 23.1 percent increase from the fivemonth mark of a year ago of $5.2 billion.

Ohio “Throughout we’re experiencing gains in both activity levels and average sales price, with 17 of the 20 markets we track showing improvement so far in 2013,” Williams said.

“Having so many of our individual markets record positives in a state as diverse as Ohio – with its unique blend of big urban markets and smaller, rural locales — is yet another positive indication that the Buckeye State is making significant headway in its recovery effort.”

Sales in May reached 12,820; a 16.2 percent increase from the 11,029 sales posted during the month in 2012, and reached the best mark since 2007. The average sales price of $148,143 is a 9.3 percent increase from the $135,560 average price posted in May 2012.

A dermatologist suggested the diagnosis of chondrodermatitis nodularis helicis, which is a benign, painful inflammation of the cartilage of the ear. Small nodules are often found along the cartilage, but not always at the onset of symptoms.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have taken Aleve as needed for my constant aches and pains due to working in a factory for almost 20 years. At first, it was a wonder drug for me.

Just one pill at the start of my shift would last the whole day. But a strange thing happened: I devel-

oped a worsening rash each time I took Aleve.

Could I have developed an allergic reaction? I do not have any issues with ibuprofen or Naproxen from my family doctor. — R.D. ANSWER: It does sound like an allergy. People can develop allergies over years; indeed, allergies by definition must occur after at least one exposure. However, it could be an allergy to a component in the pill that isn’t the active ingredient, naproxen. Nonetheless, I would suggest a different medicine, since allergies can worsen over time, and yours is clearly worsening. I would suggest Tylenol, ibuprofen or a different anti-inflammatory.

teenager. Your parents can minimize the importance of your relationship only if you allow them to. Granted, you are a late bloomer — but you are also an adult.

The longer you keep this a secret, the harder it will be for you to open up.

One way to introduce the subject would be to start saying “we” when you talk about where you’re going and what you’re doing. If they ask who the “we” is, you can then tell them you met a man named “John” a short while ago, that he seems nice, that you are seeing him, etc. Be prepared for questions and don’t be defensive. They should be overjoyed at the news you are dating.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 13 and read your column every day. My parents fight a lot. When they fight, I try to get in between them and keep it down. It’s not very effective, though. I don’t want their fighting to leak out. Therapy doesn’t seem possible.

Do you have some tips to keep them from fighting with each other? I’m an only child and don’t have any relatives who live nearby. — THE REFEREE DEAR REFEREE: Parents fight for many reasons, none of them having to do with you.

The problems could be lack of money, job stress or something in their relationship with each other that isn’t working.

If it were possible for you to fix their marriage, I would advise you how to do it, but the only people who can do that are your parents themselves — if they are willing.

If their fighting escalates to violence, rather than put yourself in the middle, you should call the police.

PAST

OF THE

100 years June 29, 1913 Armed with axes, grubbing hoes, scythes, garden hoes, rakes, and in fact every conceivable form of hand propelled agricultural implement of warfare, residents of South Sidney engaged in a terrific conflict lasting for over an hour, on South Point park last evening and when hostilities ceased evidence of the awful carnage were to be seen on all sides. It was all the results of Earl Lee’s and Teddy Ruese’s doings.

Saturday of this week the Piper Dry Goods store will inaugurate a mammoth anniversary sale in celebration of the store’s 34th anniversary.

It was just 34 years ago that William Piper started in the dry goods business in Sidney in a small way. From this small beginning the business has grown to what it is today, one of the largest stores in this section of the state.

VALLEY VIEW (AP) — The Ohio Department of Transportation is investigating how three signs posted above a Cleveland-area highway smashed into traffic during stormy weather, damaging three vehicles and leaving a man in critical condition.

The Interstate 480 signs that fell Tuesday near Valley View were at least 10 feet tall and weighed hundreds of pounds.

Police say one sign crashed onto a pickup truck, critically hurting the driver. Traveler Traci Earhart says she believes the same sign had dropped near her vehicle a moment earlier, slicing off her license plate before ricocheting into other traffic.

Reasons to include more dairy in your diet A healthy diet can improve quality of life and reduce a person’s risk of developing disease or other negative health conditions. For example, a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can boost the immune system and promote cardiovascular health, lowering your risk of heart disease in the process.

While the benefits of including fruits and vegetables in your diet are widely known, the medical benefits of dairy are often overlooked. The following are a handful of ways that dairy products like low-fat milk, cottage cheese and yogurt can make a nutritious and beneficial addition to your diet. * Dairy packs a protein- and calciumladen punch. One cup of nonfat yogurt can provide as much as one-third of your daily recommended calcium intake and nearly 20 percent of your daily recommended protein intake. Though dairy products like ice cream don’t pack the same nutritious punch as yogurt, healthier fare like reduced-fat cheese and skim milk can go a long way toward meeting your daily intake of protein and calcium.

• Dairy is a great source of vitamin D. In addition to providing sufficient calcium and protein, dairy also helps men, women and children boost their vitamin D. That’s especially important in the winter months when people tend to get less exposure to the sun. Exposure to the sun is a natural way to boost your vitamin D, but the shorter days and colder weather of winter can make it hard to get sufficient vitamin D during that time of year. Dairy products like low-fat milk can boost your vitamin D, which can improve your bone health and, according to recent research, might help reduce your cancer risk. * Dairy may help lower your blood pres-

sure. Men and women with high blood pressure might benefit from including more dairy in their diets. In a study of 5,000 adults, Spanish researchers found that those who reported consuming the most low-fat dairy products were more than 50 percent less likely to develop high blood pressure than those who consumed less low-fat dairy. Though researchers are not certain as to the reason behind low-fat dairy products’ impact on blood pressure, some theorize that their calcium and protein content are likely behind the benefit. * Dairy benefits your bones. Dairy has long been known to improve bone density. But it’s not just seniors who benefit from the bone-strengthening impact of dairy.

Youngsters who consume dairy can also expect an increase in bone mass, which can make them less susceptible to injuries like broken bones. Seniors who consume dairy to improve their bone density should know that a recent study from researchers at the Institute for Aging Research found that not all dairy products are equal when it comes to improving bone density. While milk and

yogurt were linked to higher bone mineral density, dairy products like cream and ice cream contain less protein, calcium and vitamin D and more fat and sugar than yogurt and milk, and these products may actually be associated with lower bone mineral density.

Though there are many ways men and women can improve their overall health, it’s important to consider the nutritional value of dairy when making any alterations to your diet.

Create a peaceful and healthy sleeping environment It is easy to overlook the benefits of a good night’s sleep. Without adequate rest a person can be left feeling irritable, distracted and sluggish.

Those who repeatedly do not get enough sleep could be facing other health problems as well.

For some, the secret to getting a better sleep is modifying their sleeping environment.

Information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate insufficient sleep has become a public health epidemic. An estimated 50 to 70 million American adults report having a sleep or wakefulness disorder, and women are twice as likely to suffer from insomnia than men. Plus, one in three people suffer from some form of insomnia during their lifetime, offers the organization Better Sleep for Life.

In some instances, lack of sleep or too much sleep might be indicative of a medical condition, but it could just be related to poor sleep hygiene and an uncomfortable sleeping environment.

Making some changes could make all the difference. * Start with your mattress. You will spend between seven to 10 hours in your bed each and every night. An uncomfortable mattress could be an underlying factor in your sleep problems.

If your bed is several years old, it could pay to invest in a new mattress and box spring. If you sleep with your spouse and your bed is too small, upgrading to a larger size could provide the room you need. If you cannot afford a new mattress, buying a mattress topper in memory foam could mask any problems for the time being. * Balance light and dark. In order to trigger sleepiness at the right time, it is essential to get at least 30 minutes of natural sunlight each day during the morning or afternoon. In the evening, begin dimming the lights to trigger the body’s natural internal clock and stimulate the production of the natural hormone melatonin,

which relaxes the body into sleep. Keep a dark bedroom -- invest in blackout curtains if need be. * Consider white noise. Giving your brain a noise to associate with relaxing sleep can help you drift off more quickly. White noise can also mask other sounds that may distract sleep, such as traffic outside or a partner snoring. White noise can come from a special alarm clock that provides soothing sounds of rain or waves.

Many people find running a fan in the bedroom provides the right amount of noise and also helps circulate air throughout the room. * Make the bedroom a cozy retreat. Your bedroom should be a relaxing sanctuary. Fill it with cozy cushions and pillows. Make sure the room is clean and clutter-free. Relaxing blues and purples can be soothing colors to use in decorating, and the use of lavender essential oil could also add to the relaxing environment. * Avoid distractions. When setting up your

bedroom, do not fill it with electronics, such as a computer, tablet and television. These devices could contribute to wakefulness and actually impede your ability to get the rest you need. * Keep cool. A cool bedroom is key to drifting off to sleep. Sweating and overheating can keep you awake, so drop the temperature down at night and dress lightly for bed. You want to feel comfortable and not too hot or cold.

If sleeplessness becomes a chronic problem and is not alleviated by changing the sleeping environment, visit a doctor.

Simple ways to protect your bones As men and women age, many take steps to improve their overall health. These steps can be as simple as cutting back on dinner portions or as significant as joining a gym and committing to an exercise regimen.

One of the best things men and women can do to improve their health, as well as their quality of life, as they age is to protect their bones.

Though some are aware of the importance of protecting their bones, which weaken as the aging process progresses, leaving older adults susceptible to fractures, many might not know that protecting their bones is quite simple.

What’s more, many of the roughly two million bone fractures caused by osteoporosis, a medical condition in which the bones become brittle from loss of tissue, are preventable. Men and women who heed the following tips to help protect their bones can reduce their risk of fractures as they age. * Get your calcium and vitamin D. Calcium and vitamin D promote bone health, and many people are aware of those effects. However, a

2005 study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocriology found that 52 percent of postmenopausal women on osteoporosis treatment had insufficient levels of vitamin D, despite being told by their doctors to take both vitamin D and calcium. If your diet does not include adequate vitamin D, which can be found in fortified dairy products, egg yolks, and fish, then vitamin D supplements can help meet your needs. Calcium can be found in a variety of products, including fortified cereals and juices, dark leafy greens like broccoli, almonds and a host of dairy products. * Visit your physician. Few people might know that bone health is actually measurable. A bone density screening can assess your bone health, while FRAX(R), an online tool developed by the World Health Organization, evaluates a individual’s risk of fracture based on a host of factors, including age, weight, height and your medical history. FRAX(R) models give a 10-year probability of fracture, which can help prevent injuries down the road for those people whose

risk might not be immediate. The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends all women begin receiving bone density screenings at age 65. However, women with additional risk factors, including smokers, those with low weight or a thin frame, family history of osteoporosis, late onset of menstrual periods, and a history of anorexia or bulimia, should consult their physician about screenings regardless of their age. * Get out and exercise. Exercise is another great way to protect your bones. Unless you suddenly embrace competitive weightlifting, exercise won’t increase your bone density, but it will help you maintain the bone density you already have. Something as simple as walking can help maintain bone density, as can other weight-bearing activities like jogging.

Cardiovascular weight-bearing activities can be coupled with strength training, which recent studies have found may improve bone mineral density, something that could delay the onset of osteoporosis and reduce your risk of fracture. A gym will likely

have all of the strength-training materials you will need, but you can also purchase some hand weights or additional resistance training products to ensure your bones are getting adequate exercise. Consult a physician before beginning an exercise regimen, especially if you have recently had a fracture.

Outdoor enthusiasts typically cannot wait to get outside and make the most of a beautiful day. But in their haste to enjoy the great outdoors, men and women can easily overlook safety precautions that protect them from potential hazards.

Though it’s easy to get excited about a sunny day, it’s important for outdoor enthusiasts to take safety seriously. No matter your activity, always bring adequate sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun, and remember to bring enough water to stay hydrated throughout the day. In addition to packing sunscreen and water, outdoor enthusiasts can employ various additional safety methods depending on which activity they choose to enjoy.

Cycling Cyclists must always be on alert for those with whom they are sharing the road. While many motorists respect cyclists, there are some who see cyclists as a nuisance, and such motorists may drive recklessly around cyclists in an attempt to scare them off the road. Cyclists are oftentimes at the mercy of motorists, so it pays to stay as attentive as possible. Never listen to an MP3 player or another music player while riding a bike.

Such a distraction could prove deadly if it takes your attention away from the road. Alertness is important when cycling, as are the following precautionary measures: * Always wear a helmet and reflective clothing that makes it easy for motorists to see you. * Obey the traffic laws. * Always ride with traffic. * Inspect your bicycle and address any mechanical issues before each ride.

Hiking When the weather permits, few activities combine the benefits of physical activity with the aesthetic appeal of nature as well as hiking does.

Hikers should never hike on poorly developed trails or trails that are too difficult for them to handle, and they should have at least a basic understanding of the symptoms of altitude sickness.

Always share your route with friends or family members before embarking on a hiking trip.

This protects you if you should get lost or injured and you need a rescue team to find you. Hikers should also pack the following supplies before hitting the trails: * Compass * Flashlight and extra batteries

* Whistle and signal mirror * Map of the park that includes the trails you plan to hike * Waterproof matches * First aid kit * Blanket Inline skating and skateboarding Inline skating and skateboarding are popular activities for adults and children alike. But even though you may associate such activities with your childhood, that does not mean the risk of injury is insignificant. In fact, even seasoned skateboarders and veteran inline skaters have suffered broken bones or head injuries while skateboarding or skating. Proper attire is essential for skaters and skateboarders hoping to prevent injury, so be sure to wear the following gear the next time you hit the half-pipe or go skating by the boardwalk: * Helmet * Knee pads * Wrist guards * Elbow pads Water sports Water attracts the sun, so it’s imperative that anyone planning to spend ample time on or around the water take steps to protect their skin.

Wear appropriate clothing and apply sunscreen with a minimum sun protection factor of 15.

Never take to the water after you have consumed alcohol. Alcohol can dull your senses, making you less likely to recognize a dangerous situation should one present itself.

If you plan on entering the water, always enter feet first and do your best to avoid swimming alone. When you employ the buddy system while swimming, you are ensuring there is someone there to help you should you begin to struggle or to alert lifeguards or other safety personnel should something go awry.

If you to plan to fish on a boat, let your loved ones staying behind on land know where you plan to fish so they can share this information with authorities if your boat has problems or you don’t return on time. While on the boat, always wear a flotation device and make sure the boat is not running as you board and dismount.

The great outdoors can be enjoyed throughout the year. But outdoor enthusiasts will have a much better time if they take the necessary steps to reduce their risk of injury.

When participating in water sports like rafting, adults and children alike should wear flotation devices at all times.

Earnhardt sets record to take Kentucky pole

BY GARY GRAVES AP Sports Writer SPARTA, Ky. (AP) — The questions during NASCAR Sprint Cup qualifying Friday were how many drivers would raise Kentucky Speedway’s record and by how much.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. provided the answer of the eight that broke it, clocking 183.636 mph to wrest the mark from Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson and the pole for Saturday night’s race.

Earnhardt’s speed was nearly 2 mph faster than Johnson’s 181.818 mph last June, which he needed to keep Johnson from keeping the record.

Minutes before, Johnson had a lap at 183.144 mph to hold off Ryan Newman (182.254). Earnhardt set the standard in the No. 88 Chevy soon after and survived several furious attempts to unseat him before coming away with his 12th career pole and first at Kentucky.

Carl Edwards (183.306 mph) eventually grabbed the outside front in the No. 99 Ford. Johnson settled for third with Kyle Busch (182.593) fourth in a Toyota.

Marcos Ambrose (182.587)

qualified fifth in a Ford and will start alongside Denny Hamlin, whose No. 11 Toyota ran 182.340 mph. The final two over 182 mph were Newman and defending race winner and Cup champion Brad Keselowski (182.192).

“I thought we had a good car in practice,” Earnhardt said, “and we got some cloud cover. That gave us an opportunity to run a good lap.”

Drivers felt as if a track record was possible with NASCAR’s new Gen 6 car, even on Kentucky’s bumpy surface. Anticipation grew even more with cooler-thanexpected temperatures and intermittent clouds, and several drivers gave chase to Johnson’s mark early in the session.

Johnson, the series points leader, promptly raised the bar higher with a speed that seemed to put the pole and the record out of reach even with two-thirds of qualifying remaining. Newman gave chase and briefly had the second spot before settling for a solid berth in the field.

“I feel good,” said Johnson, who checked his No. 48 Chevy for damage after hitting one of the truck’s bumps and going airborne. “I felt (turns) one and

Earnhardt, sixth after the final practice, soon grabbed his up-front view and the record as all the elements fell into place for his first pole since September at Richmond.

“The cloud cover at least gave us a bit of speed,” said Earnhardt, who joked that get-

ting a haircut between practice and qualifying might have made him more aerodynamic as well. “Of course, cooler track temps gives the car more grip and we definitely had the better situation of anyone in practice with that scenario.

“There were some clouds in the qualifying session, but not quite the extent that we had. I did think the lap was really good.”

“It will be the getting together of so many guys I have not been around for so long.

This is something that’s never been done before, that many

people in one sport together that are in the Hall of Fame.”

Indeed, Hall of Fame officials are expecting 130 or more members to attend for the inductions of Cris Carter, Jonathan Ogden, Larry Allen,

Warren Sapp, Dave Robinson, Curley Culp and Bill Parcells.

The weekend festivities Aug. 2-4 will cap a two-year, $27 million expansion and restoration program.

“Nowhere else will fans be able to interact with this many Hall of Famers in one place,” said Steve Perry, president of the Hall of Fame.

Among those committed to joining Namath are such career leaders as receiver Jerry Rice, running back Emmitt Smith, defensive end/sackmaster Bruce Smith, and coach Don Shula (victories).

Longtime Hall of Famers such as Dick Butkus, Frank Gifford, Joe Greene and Gale Sayers will be joined by more recent inductees Art Monk, Darrell Green and Shannon Sharpe. Plus dozens of others.

Namath believes the Jets’ stunning 16-7 Super Bowl win was so uplifting to people that 44 years later, it still resonates. And it probably always will.

Cueto leaves game

Danica Patrick fires back SPORTS BRIEFS at Kyle Petty comments 5K runs scheduled

BY GARY GRAVES AP Sports Writer SPARTA, Ky. (AP) — Danica Patrick doesn’t care that Kyle Petty thinks she’s better at getting attention than driving because she’s heard it all before.

But if Petty’s going to attack her, the NASCAR Sprint Cup rookie believes he should at least get his facts straight.

On Friday, Patrick responded to Petty’s comments a night earlier on Speed’s “Race Hub” program, in which the former Sprint Cup driver called her a “marketing machine” rather than a race car driver. Petty also doubted that Patrick would become a driver and insisted that she doesn’t race as well as she qualifies. statistics Patrick’s suggest otherwise. On average she’s finishing almost six spots higher (25.8) than she starts (32nd), which she noted by saying, “those who watch know I can’t qualify for crap. The race goes much better.”

That likely won’t stop Petty, the 53-year-old son of seven-time Cup champion Richard Petty and an eight-time race winner on NASCAR’s precircuit, from mier

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Cincinnati startpitcher Johnny ing Cueto left his start Friday night at Texas only one batter into the second inning because of tightness in his right lat muscle.

Cueto was making only this third start since coming off the disabled list after missing the first half of June with a strained right shoulder.

The Reds’ opening day starter also missed more than a month earlier this season because of a strained right lat.

After Cueto threw a 12 pitch to Mitch Moreland leading off the second inning, catcher Devin Mesoraco went out to the mound. Cueto put the ball into the catcher’s mitt, and manager Dusty Baker then went out with a trainer.

Television replays showed Cueto reacting with a strained expression on his face after throwing the fastball that Moreland fouled off.

The right-hander was also clearly grimacing after at least one pitch in the first inning.

criticizing Patrick.

Now an analyst for TNT and Fox/Speed, Petty has periodically taken jabs at Patrick, a former IndyCar Series driver who now drives the No. 10 Chevy for Stewart-Haas Racing.

The 31-year-old Patrick is 27th in points in her first full Cup season, which follows an open wheel career highlighted by a fuel-mileage victory in 2008 in Motegi, Japan.

On Thursday night, Petty seemed to elaborate on his views during the show. While he understands the mass appeal of Patrick, who has been featured in racy TV ads for sponsor Go Daddy and was Indymost popular Car’s driver for several years, her driving skills don’t justify the hype in his opinion.

“That’s where I have a problem, where fans have bought into the hype of the marketing, to think she’s a race car driver,” he said. “She can go fast, and I’ve seen her go fast. She drives the wheels off it when she goes fast.”

Asked if she has learned to race, Petty continued, “She’s not a race car driver. There’s a difference. The King always had that stupid

saying, but it’s true, ‘Lots of drivers can drive fast, but very few drivers can race.’ Danica has been the perfect example of somebody who can qualify better than what she runs. She can go fast, but she can’t race.”

Patrick won the pole and finished eighth in the season-opening Daytona 500 but has admittedly struggled this season. She said she’s working toward that point where things level out but isn’t there yet.

The main thing is keeping her team, sponsor and fans happy — not giving a second thought to Petty’s comments.

“I really don’t care,” she said during a news conference at Kentucky Speedway. “It’s true that there are plenty of people who say bad things about me. I read them. People want me to die. At the end of the day, you get over that stuff and trust you are doing a good job.”

Asked what it will take to quiet her critics, Patrick’s response brought some laughs.

“Do you think I will silence my naysayers?” she asked. “You don’t. I’m sure everybody has them. You know who believes in you. That’s what matters.”

Kipnis, who grew up in suburban Northbrook, Ill., had three doubles and drove in two runs.

The only out he made was when Alejandro De Aza ran down his line drive to left in the ninth.

Mike Aviles added three hits, two runs and

“A lot of us are underdogs in our lives, there are a whole lot of underdogs on a daily basis in all walks of life, not just in sports or in football. I think our victory was inspiring because of the way it showed an underdog can come through. I think that was a big deal at the time and I think it still is a big deal, how it influenced a whole lot of people all around the country.

“I like to think so many people look at that game and say, ‘Those guys did it, I can overcome this, I can come through on this.’

They scored five against Hector Santiago in the second and broke it open against Brian Omogrosso (0-2), who allowed nine runs in 2 1-3 innings. The Indians sent 10 batters to the plate in the fourth against him, with

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service awards grants to 28 states for work on deadly bat disease Midwest states to receive $232,931 — WASHINGTON The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has announced grant awards totaling $950,694 to 28 for syndrome white-nose projects. Included among the awards was a total of $232,931 to Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin.

State natural resource agencies will use the funds to support research, monitor bat populations and detect and respond to white-nose syndrome, a disease that afflicts bats.

“White-nose syndrome has spread rapidly from one state in 2007 to 22 states and five Canadian provinces this year,” said Dr. Jeremy Coleman, the Service’s national WNS “These coordinator. grants provide essential support to our state partners in responding to this disease. The research, monitoring, and actions made possible by these grants have yielded valuable results and insights for our national response to white-nose syndrome.”

“This is one of the most devastating diseases affecting wildlife in eastern North America,” said Wendi Weber, co-chair of the White-Nose Syndrome Executive Committee and Service Northeast Regional Director. “Best estimates indicate that it has killed more than 5.7 million bats.”

First discovered in

New York in the winter of 2006-07, the disease has spread rapidly through the eastern U.S. and parts of Canada, and continues to move westward. The Service is leading a cooperative effort with federal and state agencies, tribes, researchers, universities and other non-government organizations to research and manage the spread of WNS. In addition to developing science-based protocols and guidance for land management agencies and other partners to minimize the spread of WNS, the Service has funded numerous research projects to support and assess management recommendations and improve basic understanding of the dynamics of the disease.

Funding for grants was provided through the Endangered Species Recovery program. Proposals were received from 28 states requesting $1,042,938. All eligible requests were given at least partial awards, ranging from about $7,000 to $47,500, for a total of $950,694.

Additional information about WNS, the international disease investigation, and research can be found on the national WNS website at w w w. w h i t e n o s e s y n drome.org/. The site contains up-to-date information and resources from partners in the WNS response, cur-

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Watercraft will be participating in Operation Dry Water through Sunday, as part of a nationally coordinated effort to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities related to boating under the influence (BUI). The mission of Operation Dry Water is to bring awareness and educate recreational boaters about the dangers of alcohol and drug use on the water.

During Operation Dry Water, officers will be out in force looking for boaters whose blood alcohol content (BAC) exceeds the state limit of .08 statewide. This weekend will include increased patrols, breathalyzer tests and checkpoints as well as boater education. Impaired boaters can ex-

pect to be arrested or face other serious penalties. In Ohio, the consequences for BUI include fines, jail and loss of privileges to register and to operate watercraft.

“We are dedicated to keeping boaters safe on our waters. Boating is a safe and enjoyable pastime when people stay alert and follow the rules,” says Rodger Norcross, chief for the ODNR Division of Watercraft. “Our officers will be on the water focusing their efforts on identifying boaters who are operating a vessel under the influence.”

Boating under the influence of drugs or alcohol continues to be a major problem across the nation. U.S. Coast Guard data from Recreational Boating Statistics 2012 reveals that alcohol is the primary contributing factor in recreational

KODAK, Tenn. (AP) — Cleveland Browns owner and Pilot Flying J CEO Jimmy Haslam and Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam are selling the Tennessee Smokies minor league baseball team.

Pilot Flying J is under a federal investigation into alleged rebate fraud. Lauren Christ, a spokeswoman for the truck-stop chain,

said the sale of the Smokies wouldn’t affect Haslam’s ownership of the Browns and was unrelated to the investigation.

Randy Boyd, the CEO of Knoxville-based Radio Systems Corp. and a top education adviser to Gov. Haslam, is buying the Chicago Cubs’ Double-A Southern League affiliate, the team announced Friday.

“It does have something to do with Cleveland in that we’re obviously going to be spending more time there,” Jimmy Haslam told the Knoxville NewsSentinel, which first reported the sale. “But I think the reality is the entire partnership group had owned the team for 12 years and felt like it was time for new ownership.”
