A SECTION of Ohio 66 near Rangeline Road is flooded by fast moving water Sunday afternoon. Numerous roads in southern Shelby County were closed due to high water.

Continuing rain flooded a number of roads in southwestern Shelby County Sunday afternoon, forcing authorities to close them. But the situation was expected to improve by evening as the rain stopped.

“Things are draining off,” Casey Martin, a dispatcher at the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, said late afternoon Sunday. He believed closed roads would be reopened by later that evening.

The roads affected were south of Ohio 47 and west of Ohio 66, Martin said.

No injuries had been reported as a result of the flooding, Martin said, although some motorists had attempted to drive on flooded roads.

“Nobody’s been stuck,” he said. “We haven’t had to rescue anybody.”

The Fort Loramie Fire Department responded to a home south of Newport on Ohio 66 where a basement had flooded and water was reportedly getting into electrical wiring. Firefighters pumped water out of the basement.

Smiles, laughter, music Sidney fill Sidney’s courtsquare receives Once again, the historic Shelby County courtsquare was full of smiles, laughter, music and fun as Kids Around the Square was held Saturday morning.

Event organizers said children of Sidney and Shelby County enjoyed the beautiful summer weather, magic shows, fish ponds, balloons, games and crafts. The kids also met Safety Pup, Scarfie, Ready Teddy and Sparky, learned while doing educational activities, snacked on treats, and just had fun.

New this year was the “Wiggles & Giggles” concert courtesy of Phil Chilcote and the Sidney Civic Band. “In addition to the great musical entertainment, the kids could be seen wiggling and giggling to the music as they danced,” said Downtown Business Association Director Amy Breinich. “What a great sight!”

“In all we had 31 United Way agencies, churches, businesses and not-for-profit groups come together and give back to the community by not only entertaining, but educating as well,” Breinich said. “This year we worked with the United Way to build See SMILES/Page 9

Sidney Mayor Mike Barhorst has received word from Congressman Jim Jordan that the city of Sidney has received a U.S. Department of Transportation grant in the amount of $2,289,704. The grant will be used to fund long-anticipated improvements to the Sidney Municipal Airport.

“The grant will provide funding for the acquisition of easements at either end of the east-west runway (Runway 10/28) to enhance approach protection, pay for the filling of a pond that has been removed due to the extension of Runway 10/28, and rehabilitate the existing runway pavement that has reached the end of its useful life,” Barhorst stated. “Most importantly, See AIRPORT/Page 2

Open enrollment and school finances Editor’s note: In preparation for the August special election, the Sidney Daily News, in conjunction with the Citizens for Sidney Schools levy committee, will be publishing a question of the week to inform voters about the five-year, 1 percent income tax levy.

How does open enrollment affect finances?

Open enrollment allows a student to attend school (tuition free) in a district other than the district where his or her parents reside. There are many pros and cons to this right which was instituted in 1993, although in the end, it is a finan-

cial liability for Sidney City Schools.

State funding of $5,704 follows the student out of Sidney Schools. Although the cost to educate a student in Sidney Schools for 2012 was $8,707, well below comparative districts, much of this does not go away when a student enrolls out to another school.

Quite similar to the fixed and variable costs in business, there are fixed costs in buildings, utilities, buses, required teachers and staff to support the remaining students, that do not reduce when a student leaves.

The impact to Sidney Schools for open enrollment out is $3 million per year. We do have students who open enroll into our schools, however the net is still substantial, a negative $2 million per year.

Retaining students is the single most important contribution that we can make to our schools. Experience the advantages of Sidney City Schools by becoming involved and knowledgeable to see its sensible balance between resources and its opportunities and programs. The Sidney community has within its grasp, a stable future for its school system, to the envy of many throughout our state and nation.

In addition to the federal grant, the Ohio Office of Aviation is providing an additional $360,000 in grant funding. The city of Sidney is required to provide local matching funds. The local match is $366,940.

The entire project is expected to cost $3,016,644.

In anticipation of the project, Children’s Home Road was closed on May 30, 2008. Since that time, funding of the project has been repeatedly delayed.

It is unclear when construction will begin. RD Jones Excavating Inc., of Harrod, was the successful bidder. The contractor has advised city officials that he will begin work as soon as the “notice to proceed” is issued. It is hoped the final documents can be signed so that construction can get underway immediately, Barhorst said. Construction was originally expected to take at least six months.

AKRON (AP) — The University of Akron is planning to loan tablet computers to about 500 athletes within a year, with plans to eventually do the same for all its students.

The university began the pilot program last spring to about 30 men’s and women’s basketball players and plans to add students in other major sports over the next year.

The Akron Beacon Journal reports that the school began with athletes because they face time crunches that other students don’t have.

The initiative is aimed at helping students keep up with their schoolwork while giving them easy access to material their coaches want them to have, like game film and playbooks.

Kasich’s proposed budget had initially called for expanding Medicaid. But GOP leaders stripped the idea from the House version of the state spending plan in April.

No wind turbines for Shelby, Auglaize counties

BY MIKE SEFFRIN mseffrin@ civitasmedia.com A Dublin, Irelandbased company has scrapped plans to construct wind turbines in Shelby and Auglaize counties..

In a June 5 letter sent to local landowners whose acreage had been leased by the company, Mainstream Renewable Power officials said: “I am writing to inform you that, after much deliberation, we have reluctantly decided not to pursue the Montra Hills Wind Farm project in Shelby County. The changing of several key market conditions has resulted in the determination that Mainstream will cease its efforts and exit the Ohio market.

“This was a very difficult decision for us to make after the warm welcome you and all of your fellow landowners have extended to us. We have greatly appreciated working with you, and as a few voices challenged our projects here in Ohio we drew real strength from the support of the owners of more than 12,000 acres who put their trust in us.

However, we cannot avoid the market conditions we now find ourselves facing in Ohio, and having considered all options we have concluded that this is the right way forward.

“As a responsible developer, Mainstream will not encumber your land by holding onto your lease. Ohio leases will be terminated over the next 30 business days. … “ The Mainstream offi-

cials conclude their letter, “Thank you again for your support with this effort to develop a wind farm in your community.

It is with great regret that this decision was deemed necessary. Hopefully in the future as market conditions change, new opportunities for renewable development in your community will arise.”

The letter is signed by Dan Schumann, senior project development manager, and Matt Boss, vice president of U.S. development, for Mainstream. The men list a Chicago address for their offices.

A similar letter reportedly was sent to affected landowners in Auglaize County. Mainstream had leases for 7,000 acres in Shelby County and 5,000 in Auglaize. Groups opposed to the wind farm projects have been active in both counties.

The Shelby County group, Shelby Neighbors United, have presented information at several meetings detailing what it believes are the health risks posed by wind turbines. The group has said the Montra Hills Wind Farm would impact more than 1,000 Shelby County households in an approximately 50-squaremile area stretching from the Shelby Hills Golf Course north and east to the Auglaize and Logan county lines.

Shelby Neighbors United has not issued an official statement concerning Mainstream’s decision to abandon the Montra Hills project.

Federal marriage benefits? Not for all

BY STEPHEN OHLEMACHER The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Like other married couples, same-sex couples are about to learn that federal benefits for being married might not be all they’re cracked up to be.

Social Security benefits for spouses can be generous, but only for couples with big disparities in their incomes. Taxes are a decidedly mixed bag, and there are still a lot of unanswered questions for the Internal Revenue Service.

Many middle-income couples should get welcome tax breaks now that they can change their filing status from “single” to “married filing jointly.” The biggest benefits will go to couples in which one spouse makes more money than the other.

But those at the top and bottom of the income scale could face significant tax increases.

High-income taxpayers could feel the pinch because the tax code still contains substantial marriage penalties for couples with higher incomes. Low-income taxpayers could lose benefits that target the working poor, such as the earned income tax credit, if they get married and their spouse’s income disqualifies them.

Low-income parents also could lose other government benefits such as Medicaid, the health insurance program for the poor, if they get married and their spouse’s income pushes them above certain limits.

“The poor gay couples, particularly if they’re raising children, are going to face the same huge penalty structure that’s now faced by low-income households in general,” said Eugene Steuerle, a former Treasury official who is now a fellow at the Urban Institute.

“In that case, they may have won the court battle but are still stuck in a social structure where the government basically tells them, do not marry or you’re going to lose a lot of money,” Steuerle said.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down parts of a federal law that denied government benefits to same-sex couples, even if they were married in states that recognize same-sex marriages.

In 2004, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found 1,138 provisions in federal law in which marriage was a factor. Some were obscure, like being eligible to represent your spouse in negotiations over surface mine leases with the Interior Department.

Wanted: New presidents at Ohio St, Penn St, Mich.

BY ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS The Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — Wanted: chief executive to oversee a multibilliondollar enterprise that employs thousands, educates tens of thousands, pushes cutting-edge research and medical care, and fields national-caliber sports teams that are often a headline or two away from controversy.

Must be skilled at fundraising and political tightrope walking and have an appreciation for funny-looking mascots.

Working 24/7 is expected; ability to walk on water is a plus.

“The joke is frequently told in these searches that you’re looking for God on a good day,” said Tom Poole, vice president of administration at Penn State and executive secretary of the university’s search for a new president.

At Penn State, Rodney Erickson will leave in a year, triggering a search for a successor who, on top of the regular responsibilities of running such a big university, must also deal with the ongoing aftermath of the sex abuse scandal involving former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. Erickson took over in 2011 after former university President Graham Spanier was forced out.

In Ann Arbor, University of Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman

announced in April that she would step down in July 2014.

Ohio State President Gordon Gee retires Monday after his second stint as OSU president for a total of 15 years in Columbus.

He announced his retirement last month just days after The Associated Press first reported on remarks he’d made months earlier jabbing Roman Catholics and Notre Dame and demeaning the academic integrity of Southeastern Conference schools.

The Ohio State provost has been tapped as interim president. Details of a search for Gee’s haven’t replacement been announced.

Any of the responsibilities of a modern research university president would be enough for one person — whether it’s building strong academic programs for undergraduates or running a university hospital system. The combined duties can seem staggering.

Penn State, with a $4.3 billion annual budget, has a total of about 85,000 students, including undergrad, graduate and professionals, spread over 24 campuses, including its online school, World Campus.

The University of Michigan Health System alone has more than 26,000 faculty and staff, 120 clinics and offices Michigan throughout

and northern Ohio, and $490 million in research funding.

Ohio State, with a $5.2 billion budget and more than 63,000 students, has 168 undergraduate majors, 93 doctoral programs and seven professional programs, including the medical, law and pharmacy schools. It also has nearly 500,000 alumni worldwide, many of them with strong opinions.

When considering candidates, it helps to brainstorm about the skills a new leader should bring to the job, even if the results seem far-fetched at times, said Molly Corbett Broad, president of the American Council on Education.

“Talking about what in the ideal world the next president could be and do, you get a long list that you think amounts to ‘walks on water,’” said Broad, former president of the University of North Carolina.

“But it’s a process that helps you formulate in your mind, among all these important potentials, which ones are absolutely essential,” she said.

Seeking candidates for such demanding jobs is one thing. But who would want the job, given the hours and the stress?

Penn State, for example, is wrapping up a $2 billion fundraising campaign, an effort high on the list of pres-

idential priorities.

Campus meetings start early and athletic events go late. Weekends off are exceedingly rare. Presidents are often required to sit on corporate boards, meaning extra time and travel.

Nevertheless, there’s no dearth of candidates for such jobs, largely because “they’re wonderful institutions,” said Hunter Rawlings, president of the Association of American Universities, which represents 62 leading public and private research universities in the U.S. and Canada, including Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State.

“Highly regarded globally, they have, as you know, international student bodies, international faculties, their influence extends throughout the world, and so it’s no wonder that you have a lot very talented people who have a desire to head those institutions in spite of the difficulties,” Rawlings said.

No wonder, either, given the compensation for such work. Spanier, Gee and Coleman all made the Chronicle of Higher Education’s list of the top 10 highest compensated public college leaders. Spanier topped the list, at $2.9 million for the 2011-12 school year before his departure. Gee ranked No. 3 at $1.9 million and Coleman was No. 6 at $900,000.

Department uses fake drug checkpoints MAYFIELD HEIGHTS (AP) — Police in the Cleveland suburb of Mayfield Heights know they’re not allowed to use checkpoints to search drivers and their cars for drugs.

So they’re trying the next best thing: fake drug checkpoints.

Police in the city of 19,000 recently posted large yellow signs along Interstate 271 that warned drivers that there was a drug checkpoint ahead, to be prepared to stop and that there was a drug-sniffing police dog in use.

There was no such checkpoint, just police officers waiting to see if any drivers would react suspiciously after seeing the signs.

Authorities say that four people were stopped, with some arrests and drugs seized. They declined to be more specific.

The Plain Dealer in Cleveland reports that some civil rights leaders and at least one person pulled over by police are questioning the tactic, wondering if it could violate the Fourth Amendment against unlawful searches and seizures.

“I don’t think it accomplishes any public safety goals,” said Terry Gilbert, a prominent Cleveland civil rights attorney.

“I don’t think it’s good to mislead the population for any reason if you’re a government agency.”

Nick Worner, a spokesman for the Cleveland office of the American Civil Liberties Union, said his office will be looking further into the fake checkpoints to determine whether anyone’s rights may be being violated.

Dominic Vitantonio, a Mayfield Heights assistant prosecutor, said the fake checkpoints

are legal and a legitimate effort in the war on drugs.

“We should be applauded for doing this,” Dominic Vitantonio said. “It’s a good thing.”

A 2000 U.S. Supreme Court ruling said actual drug checkpoints are not legal and that police can randomly stop cars for just two reasons: to prevent immigrants without legal permission to be in the U.S. and contraband from entering the country and to get drunk drivers off the road.

It’s unclear how that ruling would apply to a fake drug checkpoint or whether any other police department in the nation has used similar tactics Bill Peters, one of the four drivers pulled over as a result of the fake checkpoint, said he wonders if he was targeted because he has long, unkempt hair.

Exotic animal facility prepares for new law COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s $2.9 million facility for exotic animals in suburban Columbus hasn’t been used much in the four months since it opened, with two black bears and five alligators briefly called home before being moved to out-ofstate sanctuaries.

But business will pick up in six months when the state’s exotic-animal law goes into full effect on Jan. 1. Starting then, authorities can begin seizing people’s exotic animals if they fail to obtain permits for them, a process that includes paying to implant microchips.

The change comes after a Zanesville man released dozens of his animals in 2011 before committing suicide.

Authorities killed most of the animals, including black bears, Bengal tigers and African lions, fearing for the public’s safety.

Since the law’s passage, The Columbus Dispatch reports that private owners have registered 361 animals, mostly primates, tigers, bears and alligators. Beginning Oct. 1, and before Jan. 1, owners must obtain and pay for a permit to keep their animals.

Permits cost $250 for one to three animals and up to $1,000 for 11 to 15 animals. Owners also must obtain liability insurance or a surety bond of $200,000 to $1 million.

Ohio Agriculture Director David Daniels said the state is ready for an influx of animals and that every new call about an exotic animal prepares them for what’s to come.

TODAY IN HISTORY

Obama asserts Mandela’s values are Africa’s future

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Monday, July 1, the 182nd day of 2013.

There are 183 days left in the year. This is Canada Day. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 1, 1863, the pivotal, three-day Civil War Battle of Gettysburg, resulting in a Union victory, began in Pennsylvania.

On this date: • In 1535, Sir Thomas More went on trial in England, charged with high treason for rejecting the Oath of Supremacy. (More was convicted, and executed.)

• In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the first Pacific Railroad Act. • In 1867, Canada became a self-governing dominion of Great Britain as the British North America Act took effect.

• In 1903, the first Tour de France began. (It ended on July 19; the winner was Maurice Garin.)

• In 1912, aviator Harriet Quimby, 37, was killed along with her passenger, William Willard, when they were thrown out of Quimby’s monoplane at the Third Annual Boston Aviation Meet.

• In 1942, the First Battle of El Alamein began during World War II. Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra and vocalist Frank Sinatra recorded “There Are Such Things” in New York for Victor Records.

• In 1946, the United States exploded a 20-kiloton atomic bomb near Bikini Atoll in the Pacific.

• In 1963, the U.S. Post Office inaugurated its fivedigit ZIP codes.

• In 1973, the Drug Enforcement Administration was established.

• In 1980, “O Canada” was proclaimed the national anthem of Canada.

• In 1993, a gunman opened fire in a San Francisco law office, killing eight people and wounding six before killing himself.

• In 2004, actor Marlon Brando died in Los Angeles at age 80.

Ten years ago: At a summit, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas rededicated themselves to peace efforts and spoke of a shared future for their peoples.

Bishop Sean O’Malley was named by Pope John Paul II the new archbishop of Boston, succeeding Cardinal Bernard Law, who’d resigned in the wake of a clerical sex abuse scandal.

Jazz flutist Herbie Mann died in Pecos, N.M., at age 73.

Five years ago: Ex-convict Nicholas T. Sheley, suspected in eight grisly slayings in two states, was arrested outside a bar in Granite City, Ill. (Sheley has since been convicted of two murders.)

OUT OF THE BLUE

People tube to work BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — A day before Colorado marks Bike to Work Day, some commuters in Boulder got their feet wet heading to work by inner tube.

The Daily Camera reports 19 people went tubing down Boulder Creek for Tube to Work Day on Tuesday. Many had on business clothes.

There were eight participants last year. The idea got started with two guys tubing down the creek in suits in 2008.

This year, the city of Boulder set up a breakfast station for participants.

Bike to Work Day organizers in the Denver area also are setting up stations Wednesday where commuters who give up their cars for a day to cycle to work can grab a free breakfast.

EGYPTIAN PROTESTERS pray during a rally against Egypt's Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in Tahrir Square in Cairo, Sunday. Hundreds of thousands of opponents of Egypt's Islamist president poured out onto the streets in Cairo and across much of the nation Sunday, launching an all-out push to force Mohammed Morsi from office on the one-year anniversary of his inauguration. Fears of violence were high, with Morsi's Islamist supporters vowing to defend him.

Crowds march in Egypt, pushing for Morsi removal

BY SARAH EL DEEB The Associated Press CAIRO (AP) — Massive crowds thronged the streets of Cairo and cities around the country Sunday and marched on the presidential palace in a cheering tide of people that filled a broad avenue for blocks in an attempt to force out the Islamist president with some of the most gigantic protests Egypt has seen in 2 years of turmoil.

Waving flags, blowing whistles and chanting, the protesters aimed to show by sheer numbers that the country has irrevocably turned against Mohammed Morsi, a year to the day that he was inaugurated as Egypt’s first freely elected president.

Morsi made clear through a spokesman that he will remain in place and his Islamist supporters vowed not to allow protesters to remove one of their

own, brought to office in a legitimate vote. Thousands of Islamists massed not far from the presidential palace in support of Morsi, and fears are widespread that the two sides are heading to a violent collision.

At least four people were killed Sunday in shootings at anti-Morsi protesters in southern Egypt. After dark, youths attacked the headquarters of Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo with rocks and firebombs, sparking clashes.

But the rampant violence many feared did not erupt so far. Instead, the giant antiMorsi rallies by hundreds of thousands in Cairo’s central Tahrir Square and outside the Ittihadiya palace were festive and celebratory, spilling into side streets and across boulevards.

Fireworks went off overhead. Men and women, some with small children on their

shoulders beat drums, danced and sang, “By hook or by crook, we will bring Morsi down.”

Residents in nearby homes showered water on marchers below — some carrying tents in preparation to camp outside the palace — to cool them in the summer heat and blew whistles and waved flags in support.

“Mubarak took only 18 days although he had behind him the security, intelligence and a large sector of Egyptians,” said Amr Tawfeeq, an oil company employee marching toward Ittihadiya with a Christian friend. Morsi “won’t take long.

We want him out and we are ready to pay the price.”

The massive outpouring against Morsi, culminating a year of growing polarization, raises the question of what is next. Protesters vow to stay on the streets until he steps down.

The president, in turn, may be hoping protests wane.

Ecuador president: Snowden can’t leave Moscow

BY MICHAEL WEISSENSTEIN The Associated Press PORTOVIEJO, Ecuador (AP) — Edward Snowden is “under the care of the Russian authorities” and can’t leave Moscow’s international airport without their consent, Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa told The Associated Press Sunday in an interview telegraphing the slim and diminishing possibility that the National Security Agency leaker will end up in Ecuador.

Correa portrayed Russia as entirely the master of Snowden’s fate and said Ecuador is still awaiting an asylum request from Snowden before deciding its next moves.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has distanced himself from the case since Snowden arrived in Moscow last week, insisting the 30year-old former NSA contractor remains in the transit zone of the capital’s Sheremetyevo Airport and that as long as he has not legally entered Russia, he is out of the Kremlin’s control.

At the same time, the Kremlin said Sunday

that it will take public opinion and the views of human rights activists into account when considering Snowden’s case, a move that could lay the groundwork for him to seek asylum in Russia.

“This is the decision of Russian authorities,” Correa told the AP during a visit to this Pacific coast city. “He doesn’t have a passport.

I don’t know the Russian laws, I don’t know if he can leave the airport, but I understand that he can’t. At this moment he’s under the care of the Russian authorities. If he arrives at an Ecuadorean Embassy we’ll analyze his request for asylum.”

Last week, several members of Russia’s Presidential Council for Human Rights spoke out in support of Snowden, saying he deserved to receive political asylum in the country of his choice and should not be handed over to the United States. And a handful of protesters picketed outside the Moscow airport in what appeared to be an orchestrated demonstration on Friday, holding signs reading “Edward, Russia is your second motherland” and “Russia is behind Snowden.”

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — Challenging African youth to seize a “moment of great promise,” President Barack Obama declared Sunday that the future of the young and growing continent still rests in ailing South African leader Nelson Mandela’s vision for equality and opportunity. Seeking to carve out his own piece of that legacy, Obama unveiled an ambitious initiative to double electricity access in sub-Saharan Africa, vowing to bring “light where there is darkness.”

The president’s address at the University of Cape Town capped an emotionally charged day in this picturesque coastal city, including a solemn visit to the Robben Island prison where Mandela was confined for 18 of his 27 years in captivity. Obama stood stoically with his family in Mandela’s cramped cell and peered across the lime quarry where Mandela toiled each day, causing the damage to his lungs that led to his latest hospital stint.

“Nelson Mandela showed us that one man’s courage can move the world,” Obama said during his evening speech at the university. He was flanked by a diverse array of students, underscoring Mandela’s vision for a unified “rainbow nation” for the country once led by a white racist government.

In the flagship address of his weeklong trip to Africa, Obama outlined a U.S. policy toward the continent that focuses on increasing the region’s ability to support itself economically, politically and militarily.

Harkening back to a prominent theme from his 2009 speech in Ghana — Obama’s only other trip to Africa as president — he said Africans must take much of the responsibility for achieving that goal, although he pledged American assistance.

“Ultimately I believe Africans should make up their own minds about what serves African interests,” he said. “We trust your judgment, the judgment of ordinary people. We believe that when you control your destiny, if you got a handle on your governments, then governments will promote freedom and opportunity, because that will serve you.”

Obama’s address came nearly 50 years after Robert F. Kennedy delivered his famous speech at the same university.

Kennedy’s speech, delivered soon after Mandela was sentenced to life in prison, called on young people to launch a fight against injustice, creating ripples of hope that would “build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”

Bases cancel Fourth of July fireworks

BY JENNIFER C. KERR The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The Fourth of July won’t have a patriotic boom in the sky over some military bases because budget cuts and furloughed workers also mean furloughed fireworks.

Independence Day celebrations have been canceled at the Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base and at the Army’s Fort Bragg, both in North Carolina. The annual July Fourth celebration also has been scrapped at the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Albany, Ga. The reason is money — namely the lack of it.

The failure in Washington to follow up a 2011 budget pact with additional spending cuts meant $85 billion acrossthe-board cuts that began in March.

Budgets tightened, the military took a major hit and many federal workers absorbed pay cuts through forced furloughs.

When the decision was made to forgo fireworks at Camp Lejeune, the com-

manding general, Brig. Gen. Thomas Gorry, said the cancellation would “ensure that we can mitigate the fiscal challenges we are currently facing.”

Last year’s Independence Day at the base cost about $100,000, including $25,000 for the fireworks. The big issue is paying the overtime to personnel for security, transportation, logistics and safety.

Base officials said they couldn’t justify paying overtime when federal workers are losing pay while furloughed.

Brandy Rhoad Stowe says the fireworks at Camp Lejeune always were spectacular, and she said that she and her kids, ages 3 and 9, will miss them this year.

“I know fireworks might seem silly to other people,” Stowe said in an interview.

“But what is the Fourth of July without fireworks?”

Her husband is a master gunnery sergeant with seven combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001.

Stowe says she understands the budgets cuts but still feels a little short-

changed.

“It’s just a bummer for the kids,” she said. “It’s like the Grinch stealing Christmas.”

Marines and their families at Lejeune will instead be able to participate in some free activities — golf, bowling, skeet shooting, archery and movies.

Other bases that are canceling ceremonies to mark the nation’s birthday: • Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina, where the annual Jammin’ July 4th put on by the 20th Fighter Wing at Shaw and local city and county officials has been scrapped. The base plans a smaller “freedom bash” on July 3 with pool games, face painting and bouncy castles.

• The Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii, which is scaling back by canceling the fireworks and instead hosting a daytime celebration featuring the Pacific Fleet Band and the Air Force Band of the Pacific.

• New Jersey’s Joint Base McGuireDix-Lakehurst.

Dear Heloise: Do you have any hints on how to care for your flag and extend its life? — Jim D. in San Antonio I do, and I am happy to share this information from a major flag manufacturer!

Make sure your flag is made for outdoor use before displaying it outside.

Try to limit the flag’s exposure to rain, snow and high winds. The elements can shorten the flag’s life.

Clean your flag regularly. Hand-wash with warm water and a mild soap. Rinse completely and lay it out to dry.

Make sure it is completely dry before storing. Be careful where you hang your flag. You do not want your flag blowing into anything that will harm it.

Inspect your flag often. Check for damage, and normal wear and tear. Remember that if a flag is too worn

or damaged, it should no longer be flown, and should be retired properly. Check with veteran organizations or the American Legion to find out more. — Heloise MOVIE RENTALS Dear Heloise: My husband and I often rent movies on our television through the cable company.

VERSAILLES — The Rehab Clinic at Versailles Health Care Center has become a certified clinical site for Cincinnati SportsMedicine and Orthopaedic Center’s nationally acclaimed Sportsmetrics program.

The six-week program was designed to help female athletes refine neuromuscular control of the lower limbs.

This specialty camp for girls 12 to 18 costs $300 and starts July 8 and runs until Aug. 16 from 7 to 8 a.m. Monday, Thursday, and Friday at the clinic, 200 Marker Road. There are still spots available and screenings can be completed on the first day of

the camp or by prior appointment. Athletes who qualify will be eligible to participate in the 18-session program.

The research conducted by Cincinnati SportsMedicine Research and Education Foundation has proven that females who participate in this jumping program are less likely to suffer a serious knee injury.

Under the direction of Frank R. Noyes, M.D., researchers have focused their efforts on neuromuscular differences between male and female athletes. Noyes said that “our findings show two differences in females.

First, there is a

marked imbalance of strength and power between hamstrings and quadriceps in female athletes. Women tend to depend on ligaments to protect their knee joints after a jump rather than controlling the inward or outward slack with muscles. The second difference is that females land in a more valgus or knock-kneed position, which increases the pressure on the knee joint.”

Research has shown that one out of every 100 high school and one out of every 10 collegiate female athletes will suffer a serious knee injury this year.

Farmers warn of high milk prices without farm bill

BY M.L. JOHNSON The Associated Press

AP Photo/Ted S. Warren

JEREMY GROSS pats pigs he is raising on his farm June 18 in Snohomish, Wash. The pigs shown are fed traditionally, but other pigs owned by Gross are being fed food that contains a mix leaves, stems, and other byproducts of medical marijuana that Gross hopes will produce pork products with a unique savory taste.

Flavor experiment: Farmer feeds pot to pigs

BY MANUEL VALDES The Associated Press SNOHOMISH, Wash.

(AP) — The white van with tinted windows pulled up to the driveway with its cargo-cardboard boxes full of marijuana. And the customers eagerly awaited it, grunting and snorting.

The deal was going down for three hungry Berkshire pigs from a Washington state farm, and a German television crew was there to film it.

Part flavor experiment, part green recycling, part promotion and bolstered by the legalization of recreational marijuana in Washington state, pot excess has been fed to the hogs by their owners, pig farmer Jeremy Gross and Seattle butcher William von Schneidau, since earlier this year.

Gross and von Schneidau now sell their “pot pig” cuts at von Schneidau’s butcher shop in Seattle’s Pike Place Market at a premium price — bacon is $17 a pound while chops go for $16.90 a pound.

“He’s like ‘let’s see what kind of flavor it gives it.’ So we ran it and it gave good flavor,” Gross said. “It’s like anything else, what you feed them is what they’re going to taste like. It’s almost like a savory alfalfa fed cow or alfalfa fed pig.”

The meat, though, won’t get people high.

It’s just a flavor infusion.

While the passage of recreational marijuana inspired the experiment, Gross and von Schneidau get the marijuana excess

— roots, stems, and other part of the plant that are grinded and not used for consumption — from a medical marijuana dispensary. At the butcher shop, cuts from the pot pigs are signed with a little drawing of a marijuana leaf stuck on them with a toothpick.

“It tastes like the best pork chop you’ve ever had,” said Matt McAlman, who runs Top Shelf Organic, the dispensary that is providing the pot plant waste for the pigs to eat.

The idea has brought worldwide attention. On a recent afternoon, Gross hosted a crew from a German science show while von Schneidau has already been interviewed dozens of times.

The men, though, are relishing the spotlight to advertise von Schneidau’s idea of locally sourced food. Gross’ hogs at his Snohomish, Wash., farm were being fed recycled byproduct before the marijuana idea.

While Gross raises pig on his property, he works full time as a construction foreman. The only way he can stay in the pig business, he said, is the free feed he collects from a local distillery and brewery. He feeds his pigs barrels of the distillery wheat “mash” every day, fortified by a nutrient mix his veterinarian created. Gross gets his free pig feed, while the distillery and brewery get rid of waste.

Gross is applying that model to the medical marijuana excess and von Schneidau hopes it’s an example people use as production of marijuana ramps up under the

state-approved system.

“Absolutely, it’s a good opportunity to help people get rid of their waste,” said von Schneidau, who is also attempting to start a privately-owned mobile slaughterhouse.

But currently the state draft rules say pot plant waste must be “rendered unusable” by either grinding it or mixing it with non-consumable, recycled solid waste, such as food waste, compost, soil and paper waste. The state’s rules for medical marijuana do not say how to get rid of marijuana byproducts.

John P. McNamara, a professor at Washington State University’s Department of Animal Sciences, doesn’t find the experiment amusing.

“Of all the crazy things I’ve seen in my 37-plus years, this is the dumbest things I’ve ever seen in my life,” he said.

McNamara said in order to introduce a drug or medicine to feed that’s being given to animals that make part of the food supply, the federal government must sign off on it after extensive review. He adds that research has shown that cannabis ingested can be transferred onto tissues.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is the agency that oversees the nation’s food supply.

The agency, on its website, says it “approves the additives or drugs that are used in feed products.”

Currently, Gross is only feeding three pigs the marijuana mix, which on a recent afternoon the chopped down on with fervor, sticking their snouts into the pile of mash.

Asked if feeding marijuana affects the pigs, such as perhaps giving them munchies, Gross said can see no effect on the pigs.

Already all pigs do is sleep and eat, he said.

But his farm manager mentioned that one of the more salty sows mellows out after a feeding.

U.S. Department of Agriculture would then use that money to buy and donate dairy products to food banks and help lowincome families.

The margin protection and market stabilization programs would be voluntary, but farmers couldn’t participate in one without the other.

The Senate passed a farm bill last week that included both the margin protection and market stabilization programs, but House Republicans voted to remove the market stabilization program. Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson, the senior Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee, said a number of Democrats changed their vote to no at that point.

Randy Roecker, 40, was among those desperately hoping the complete package would pass. He and his wife farm with his parents in Loganville, Wis. They were doing well in 2008, when they renovated to expand from 50 to 300 cows. The next year, milk prices plummeted and feed prices rose. At one point, they were losing $100,000 a month — Roecker lost his savings, his parents lost their retirement and the farm went into debt.

They and many of their neighbors are still struggling, even though milk prices have risen.

“Just last Friday, another one of my friends got rid of his cows,” Roecker said. “… It’s just getting to the point where you can’t afford to keep going anymore.”

Baumer named Volunteer of Year CELINA — Angela Baumer, of Celina, daughter of Don and Lois Baumer, of Minster, has been named Monsanto’s Salute to Excellence Award winner as Volunteer of the Year for her work with the Mercer and Auglaize counties 4-H programs.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Dairy farmers expressed frustration this week with Congress’ failure to pass a farm bill, saying the uncertainty made it hard to do business and some could go under without changes to the federal milk program.

Farmers also worried that if a current ninemonth extension of the 2008 farm bill expires with no action, a 64-yearold law will kick in, sending milk prices spiraling.

While that might provide short-term profits, they say, it’d hurt them in the long run because no one wants to buy milk at $6 a gallon.

The U.S. House voted down a farm bill June 20, about a week after the Senate approved a different version. It was the second year in a row that the House failed to pass the every-five-years bill that sets funding for agriculture and food programs. Last year, it didn’t even vote, prompting the passage in January of a slimmed-down extension of the 2008 law — largely to avoid milk prices sharply increasing.

The Agricultural Act of 1949 sets a much higher price for government purchases of cheese, butter and other dairy products than the U.S. has seen in decades. The government cut the price in recent decades because if it didn’t, more companies would sell to the government than to retailers, unless consumer prices rose to match.

Farmers fear if the higher prices kick in on Jan. 1, milk and other dairy prices will rise until consumers just stop buying their products.

“I don’t think that’s good for anybody because we would destroy demand,” said Pete Kappelman, a Wisconsin dairy farmer and board chairman of Land O’Lakes, a farmer-owned company that markets milk, eggs, butter and many other products.

The farm bill failed in the House mainly because of disagreement over food-stamp funding and dairy program reforms farmers say are needed to keep them in business.

The government currently pays dairy farmers when milk prices get too low. But the problem in recent years has been the high cost of feed due to the ethanol industry’s demand for corn as well as the drought. Farmers say milk costs almost as much to produce as they can sell it for — and sometimes more.

Kappelman, who has a 450-cow farm in Manitowoc, Wis., worked on a national dairy industry committee that proposed a margin protection program that pays farmers when the price difference between milk and feed shrinks to a certain point.

He also supports a market stabilization program that would require farmers to either reduce the amount of milk produced when prices drop too low or give up a portion of their margin protection payments. The

The Grassland Habitat workshop is the second in the series and will take place July 13 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the Rammel Farm located at 6879 ArcanumBears Mill Road, Greenville. This event is $10/person with continental breakfast and lunch and reference materials to take home.

The purpose of the workshop series is to offer the landowner and wildlife enthusiast a well-rounded approach to managing their property to establish and maintain wildlife habitat. Each workshop will focus on a specific habitat type or wildlife

species.

Participants will learn techniques for managing land to benefit both game species and wildlife in general as well as information on funding and technical assistance.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, July 2, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good day for finances and making money. It's also an excellent day to see new ways to use something.

Perhaps you see new uses or applications for something?

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your ability to deal with others today is amazing. It's as if you're a chameleon, because you change colors and your style flexes according to who you are talking to.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Behind-the-scenes research can pay off for you financially today. Trust your gut instincts, because you can use the resources and wealth of others to your advantage.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A conversation with a powerful female might change your world today. It could lead to a new appreciation of partnerships and a better understanding of who you are.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might be able to do something today that changes your reputation in the eyes of authority figures. Don't worry -- it's for the better. Looking good!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be courageous about making ambitious travel plans today. Similarly, you might want to boldly change these plans. This energy applies to publishing, the media, medicine and the law.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Trust your ability to see new ways to disperse a specified amount of something. You're in the zone, and you really know what you're doing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Close relationships can offer you an opportunity to improve communications. But you have to be aware, and you have to listen carefully.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) There are many ways you can improve your health today: Pick one. It could be related to diet or exercise or even a new lifestyle. What's it going to be?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Today you might improve your style of relating to children, or perhaps this improvement will apply to a romantic relationship. Meanwhile, don't hesitate to change plans about vacations and social escapes if you see something better.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Discussions with a female relative will be powerful today. Basically, your focus is on improving something at home or improving family relationships. (Am I right?)

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You're convincing today. That's why this is a powerful day for teachers, actors, salespeople, writers and anyone who needs to promote an idea. You can do it!

YOU BORN TODAY You have deep feelings (whether you hide them or show them flamboyantly). This is also why you are so in tune with the feelings of others. You have an active imagination and live in your fantasies and dreams. Your love life is also important. Yet you are responsible and reliable. Your year ahead will be funloving and social, and all relationships will improve.

Kenseth wins Kentucky

REPLAY 50 years ago July 1, 1963 Jim Seving took top honors in the Moose Lodge’s State Junior Golf tournament on Saturday. Competing against a field of 16 youngsters, the Sidney high school junior registered a 74 to take the state crown, on the basis of medalist play. Jim birdied three times on the 18-hole trip to come within four strokes of matching par on the Moose course, which carries a standard of 70.

Steve Kerns was runnerup with a round of 80.

25 years ago July 1, 1988 The Jackson Center Athletic Boosters recently sponsored a golf outing at Shelby Oaks and the team of Doug Detrick, Jeff Mann, Mike Morris, Dee Hudson and Phyllis Zorn was the winner. Second was a tie, one team consisting of Dwane Gilfillan, Randy Brown, Jim Brown, Luke Faler and Pat Korn, and the other including Ray Leininger, Allan Argabright, Mike Couchot, Jack Hudson and Mary Lee Couchot.

10 years ago July 1, 2003 Minster High School distance standout Sunni Olding picked right up in the offseason where she left off in the high school season. Olding, who will be a senior at Minster, competed in the adidas Outdoor Track and Field championships June 13 and 14 at North Carolina State University and took top honors in the twomile run. She won in 10:25.82.

The runner-up finished in 10:26.41.

BY GARY GRAVES AP Sports Writer SPARTA, Ky. (AP) — Matt Kenseth has raced long enough to know that rough starts can still have good outcomes.

Especially when his crew chief takes chances. in point was Case Kenseth’s fuel-only pit stop gamble that helped him beat Jimmie Johnson late to win the rescheduled 400-mile NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race Sunday at Kentucky Speedway.

A race that was Johnson’s to lose ultimately became Kenseth’s series-high fourth victory of the season — and third on a 1.5-mile track — after crew chief Jason Ratcliff passed on putting new tires on the No. 20 Toyota following the race’s ninth caution.

“I thought he was slightly crazy when that happened,” said Kenseth, who widened his lead when the field went four-wide after the restart on lap 246 and saw Johnson’s No. 48 Chevy spin from second place on a day he led three times for 182 of 267 laps.

“I didn’t think there was any way that we were going to hold on for that win. He made the right call at the right time and those guys got it done.”

Kenseth led twice for 38 laps, including the final 23.

The restart bothered Johnson, who accused Kenseth of breaking the pace car speed.

But Johnson took solace in salvaging his 11th top-10 despite between sandwiched in the logjam that could have been worse.

“We were kind of in an awkward situation in that restart there,” he said. “We were like three- and four-wide going in

the corner, then something happened with the air and just kind of turned me around.

Unfortunate, but at least we rallied back for a good finish.”

Second was Jamie McMurray in a Chevy, followed by Clint Bowyer (Toyota), Joey Logano (Ford) and Kyle Busch (Toyota).

Rain Saturday night forced NASCAR officials to postpone the race to a daytime start.

CINCINNATI REDS second baseman Brandon Phillips (4) reaches out for the throw from catcher Devin Mesoraco as Texas Rangers’ Leonys Martin (2) steals second safely in the seventh inning of a baseball game Sunday in Arlington, Texas.

Darvish breaks drought as Texas beats Reds 3-2

BY STEPHEN HAWKINS The Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Yu Darvish brought the heat to win for the first time in eight starts and the Texas Rangers squeezed out a seriesclinching victory.

Relying heavily on his fastball, primarily a four-seamer, Darvish struck out eight in 6 23 scoreless innings and the Rangers scored twice on a squeeze bunt in a 3-2 victory over Mat Latos and the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday.

“His performance was good.

He was going against another good one, and they matched zeroes,” manager Ron Washington said. “Once we put the runs on the board, Darvish did what we needed him to do.

Looked like the same Darvish to me.”

The Rangers finally scored against Latos (7-2) in the fifth when Elvis Andrus bunted.

Latos made a barehanded grab and scoop in one motion. The toss home hit the earflap of Engel Beltre, who was still on the ground when Leonys Martin also scored for a 2-0 lead.

“It was just a reaction. He bunted it pretty hard. I felt I

could make a play,” Latos said. ” As I look back, I should have held on to the ball.”

Darvish (8-3) won for the first time since May 16, ending his longest professional winless drought — in his two years with the Rangers or seven in Japan before that. The righthander was 0-2 with a 2.93 ERA in those seven games, when Texas scored only 12 runs while he was on the mound.

“As a starter, if the team doesn’t win the day that you pitch, that can be really frustrated, so that was my thing,” Darvish said through his translator, though he insisted later he wasn’t overwhelmed by the winless streak. “I was thinking how I could live day by day, and nothing really special.”

The AL West-leading Rangers have won 10 of 13 games since a six-game losing streak. Cincinnati has lost seven of nine.

Darvish threw 77 of 117 pitches for strikes on a sunny afternoon when the game-time temperature was 90 degrees— 10 degrees cooler than at the start of Friday night’s series opener. While increasing his

majors-best strikeout total to 151, he walked four and scattered four hits with only one 12-3 inning.

There was an 11-pitch atbat in the first inning against Brandon Phillips, who didn’t get a breaking ball while at the plate. The first ball didn’t come until the ninth pitch, and he eventually struck out to end the inning.

That set a tone for what Darvish was trying to do.

“I just wanted to shut all the people up that were talking about my fastballs,” Darvish said.

“I love when he throws more fastballs,” shortstop Andrus said. “I think that he gets a little tougher. That’s when his slider works way better too. He did a great job of keeping us in the game. … When you’ve got your ace out there, you always want to win and score some runs early so he can feel better.”

Joe Nathan, the fifth Texas reliever, pitched a perfect ninth for his 27th save in 28 chances.

Latos, 21-6 in his 50 career starts for the Reds, struck out nine and walked two in 6 2-3 innings. He gave up three runs, two of them earned.

CHICAGO (AP) — Justin Masterson pitched his major league-leading third shutout of the season and the Cleveland Indians completed their first four-game sweep in Chicago since 1948, beating the White Sox 4-0 Sunday.

Masterson (10-6) gave up six hits, struck out eight and walked one. He blanked the White Sox for the second time this year.

Masterson faced the minimum 18 batters through six innings thanks to two double plays and a pickoff. The Indians turned four double plays overall.

After Masterson began the ninth with two strikeouts, he allowed a single to Alejandro De Aza and hit Alexei Ramirez with a pitch. Masterson struck out Alex Rios looking to end the game.

The win moved Cleveland into a virtual tie with Detroit atop the AL Central. The White Sox have lost 23 of 31 and fallen a season-high 15 games under .500.

Yan Gomes got three hits as the Indians won for the 10th time in 13 games.

Chris Sale (5-7) struck out 10 while allowing three runs in eight innings. He recorded double-digit strikeouts for the fourth time this season.

Sale was perfect through the first three innings before Drew Stubbs led off the fourth with a bunt single.

Sale went 0-4 with a 3.19 ERA and two no-decisions in June — the White Sox scored a total of nine runs during his six starts in the month. Sale hasn’t won since May 17 against the Los Angeles Angels.

The Indians scored twice in the fourth. Ryan Raburn hit a two-out double that drove in Stubbs, and Carlos Santana added an RBI single.

The Indians added a run in the fifth. Michael Brantley led off with a single and later scored on Lonnie Chisenhall’s groundout.

Stubbs hit an RBI double in the ninth.

into a double play and Adam Dunn struck out.

NOTES: White Sox GM Rick Hahn said he hopes the team gets on a roll. If not, changes could occur as the July 31 trade deadline approaches.

Hahn said his staff has been receiving “a pretty healthy pace” of calls from other teams over the last few weeks. He indicated no player is untouchable for a possible deal … 1B Paul Konerko remained out of the White Sox lineup with a sore back for the sixth straight game. He said he hopes to play on Tuesday. The team has Monday off. …

Ramirez will eventually get a day off, manager Robin Ventura said. The shortstop is the only player in the majors to play every inning this year.

He has committed an AL-leading 14 errors. … The Indians placed OF Michael Bourn on the three-day paternity list and recalled LHP Nick Hagadone.

Bourn, who went to Houston after Saturday’s game to be with his wife, will be eligible to return to the roster Wednesday. Bourn is hitting .299 as the Indians’ primary leadoff hitter. Hagadone is 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA. … Indians 2B Jason Kipnis and 1B Nick Swisher had the day off.

LIMA — There’s just something about high banked race tracks with a cushion inches off the wall that brings out the best in Jac Haudenschild.

The Wooster driver took over the lead on lap six after the previous two front runners — Shane Stewart and Jac’s son, Sheldon — crashed, and drove away the remaining 33 laps for his second win of the 31st Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek.

For Jac, who won Saturday at Eldora Speedway which also featured a slick groove inches from the outside wall, it was his 25th career University of Northwestern Ohio All Star Circuit of Champions victory. The win was Haudenschild’s second career All Star win at Limaland which has now hosted the series 28 times since 1983.

It also marks the Indiana racer’s second consecutive win and

third of the 2013 season.

Starting on the inside of the fifth row for the 20-lap feature, Sherman quickly put himself into a contending position. A pair of early race caution periods allowed him to move into the sixth position by a lap number four restart.

As Sherman was steadily moving up towards the leaders, the actual front of the field produced an exciting side-by-side battle between Jerry Bowersock and Chad Rosenbeck.

LONDON (AP) — Get ready for some unfamiliar names at Wimbledon.

With Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal long gone, and Maria Sharapova out, too, after a havoc-filled Week 1 at the All England Club, Week 2 begins Monday with a schedule that includes participants such as Kenny de Schepper and Adrian Mannarino, Ivan Dodig and Jerzy Janowicz, Karin Knapp and Monica Puig.

None of that group has played in a fourthround match at any Grand Slam tournament.

Members of the usual cast of characters are still around, of course, such as Serena Williams, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray. None of that trio has dropped so much as a single set yet; all are expected to be around by next weekend.

Still, Djokovic likes the idea of some players getting a chance to introduce themselves to a

wider audience.

“It’s interesting … to see new faces — for the crowd, for (the) tennis world, in general,” said Djokovic, who might not feel quite the same way if he were among the 11 men and women seeded in the top 10 who no longer are playing.

Truth is, there hasn’t been much variety of late at Grand Slam tournaments, especially at the very end: Federer, Nadal and Djokovic have won 31 of the past 33 titles.

“It’s good (to have) change, in a way, because it’s always expected, obviously, from top players to reach the final stages of major events. When it doesn’t happen, it’s a big surprise,” said the topseeded Djokovic, whose six Grand Slam titles include Wimbledon in 2011. “It’s a bit (of a) strange feeling not to have Federer or Nadal at the second week of a major. In the last 10 years, it was always one

stone as you kind of shoot for a goal like that, but I sure wish Terry Hull was here.” He (Hull) is expected to return from medical issues later this season.

of them.”

Over a shorter stretch, it’s also always been Djokovic, who meets 35-year-old Tommy Haas on Monday. Djokovic has played in 16 consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinals — the longest active streak, now that Federer’s 36-major run is done. At the past 10 Slams, Djokovic has reached the semifinals every time, picking up five trophies and three runner-up finishes.

Murray, meanwhile, has been a finalist at the last three major tournaments he entered and won the U.S. Open in September, only increasing the expectation among the locals that he can deliver Britain’s first male champion at Wimbledon in 77 years.

Nothing is guaranteed right now, though.

“Second week of a Grand Slam is a new start, especially here, where you have (time) off,” said 15th-seeded

Marion Bartoli, the 2007 Wimbledon runner-up who faces the 104thranked Knapp, an Italian making her first appearance in a major’s fourth round. “It’s really a new tournament starting.”

So on the traditional middle Sunday’s day of rest, there they were on the practice courts — six-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic, but also Janowicz, who’d won a grand total of six matches at major tournaments until this one; 2011 French Open champion and two-time major runner-up Li Na, but also 19-year-old Laura Robson, the first British woman to get this far at the All England Club since 1998.

Juan Martin del Potro, the 2009 U.S. Open champion, wore thick wraps of white tape around his left knee, which he hyperextended in a tumble Saturday, and a strip of black tape down the back of that leg.

on the track, Todd Sherman was sticking the nose of his No. 65 machine to the inside of Bowersock and executed the defining pass for the lead on lap number 16.

From there it was familiar territory for the current track point’s leader through the final laps and onto his record win.

“The easy part for me is the driving,” said Sherman afterwards. “It’s the work in the shop during the week that is important for us as our car hardly ever breaks down.”

On the matter of breaking the previous tie with Terry Hull on the all-time win list for Modifieds, Sherman remained humble, “It’s a neat mile-

After having to change a tire and go to the tail just seven laps into the race, four time UNOH All Star champion Tim Shaffer charged to a third place finish. “I think the tire went flat right off the bat. It was laying on the right rear hard. I was telling Cody (Jacobs, crew chief) on that yellow ‘I think my tire is low.’ And then when that red came out I asked that guy and he said it was really low. I didn’t know what to do…either we try to stay out or go get it fixed. It worked out great. I’m really proud of my guys, the whole CH Motorsports team. We’re banging on the door and getting closer and closer to getting a win.

We’ll keep working harder,” said Shaffer beside his Aaron Call/Janet Holbrook owned machine with sponsorship from J&J Auto Racing, Kistler Engines/VRP Shocks and Champion Oil.

TENNIS Wimbledon Wimbledon at a glance LONDON (AP) — A look at Wimbledon on Monday after Sunday's day off: Men's Fourth-Round Matches: No. 1 Novak Djokovic vs. No. 13 Tommy Haas, No. 2 Andy Murray vs.

No. 20 Mikhail Youzhny, No. 4 David Ferrer vs. Ivan Dodig, No. 7 Tomas Berdych vs. Bernard Tomic, No. 8 Juan Martin del Potro vs. No. 23 Andreas Seppi, No. 24 Jerzy Janowicz vs. Jurgen Melzer, Lukasz Kobot vs.

Adrian Mannarino, Fernando Verdasco vs. Kenny de Schepper.

Women's Fourth-Round Matches: No. 1 Serena Williams vs.

No. 23 Sabine Lisicki, No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska vs. Tsvetana Pironkova, No. 6 Li Na vs. No. 11 Roberta Vinci, No. 8 Petra Kvitova vs. No. 19 Carla Suarez Navarro, No. 15 Marion Bartoli vs. Karin Knapp,

No. 17 Sloane Stephens vs. Monica Puig, No. 20 Kirsten Flipkens vs.

Flavia Pennetta, Laura Robson vs.

Statworthy II: Knapp leads the women's field with 33 aces, nine more than Williams.

Monday's Forecast: Mostly sunny. High of 72 degrees. n l i n e : O http://www.wimbledon.com 5 things to watch Monday at Wimbledon

By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer LONDON (AP) — Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam tournament that schedules all 16 men's and women's fourth-round matches on the second Monday. Here are five matches to watch: 1. SERENA WILLIAMS vs.

SABINE LISICKI: If Williams' 34match winning streak is going to face a real challenge, it might just come from Lisicki, the 23rd-seeded German who upset Maria Sharapova in last year's fourth round at the All England Club and is now working with Kim Clijsters' former coach, Wim Fissette. Williams owns the undisputed best serve of any active woman — and perhaps of any woman, of any era — but Lisicki can smack 'em, too: Her season ace total ranks No. 2 behind Williams, and she's won 27 of 29 service games this tournament. Lisicki is "dangerous when she dictates points," said Patrick Mouratoglou, the French coach who's been helping Williams during the stretch in which she's won 77 of 80 matches and three of the last four Grand Slam titles.

2. NOVAK DJOKOVIC vs.

TOMMY HAAS: After his gutwrenching, 9-7 fifth-set loss to Rafael Nadal in the French Open semifinals, Djokovic didn't sulk; he came out stronger than ever. For the first time, he reached the second week of Wimbledon without dropping a set, and he made only three unforced errors in the third round. But the topseeded Djokovic hasn't faced much of a test yet. He could against Haas, who eliminated Djokovic en route to the 2009 Wimbledon semifinals, and also defeated him at Key Biscayne in March, becoming the third-oldest man since 1968 to beat the No. 1 player. If the 35-year-old Haas can do it again, he'll become the oldest Wimbledon quarterfinalist since Tom Okker in 1979. When they met at Roland Garros, though, Djokovic topped Haas in straight sets.

MURRAY VS. 3. ANDY MIKHAIL YOUZHNY: Think anyone around here might tune in for this one? Murray is their man, their hope to end a 77-year drought without a British male champion at Wimbledon. He gets loud support from the stands — and also loud groans when he misses a makeable shot.

Murray's popularity skyrocketed when he bared his emotions and teared up during his runner-up speech after losing to Roger Federer in last year's Wimbledon final, so imagine how big a deal he became a month later when he beat Federer at

the All England Club to win a gold medal at the London Olympics, not to mention when he finally won his first Grand Slam title at the U.S. Open. Murray has won 14 consecutive grass-court matches, and 20 of his past 21, but Youzhny is no pushover. The 20th-ranked Russian reached the final on grass at a tuneup tournament before Wimbledon, was a quarterfinalist at the All England Club in 2012, and twice reached Grand Slam semifinals. He's also a character. He once made himself bleed by hammering himself in his head with a racket; used his foot to write a word of apology in the red clay at Roland Garros during a 6-0, 6-2, 6-2 loss last year; and destroyed a racket at this year's French Open by whacking it nine times against his sideline seat.

4. LUKAS KUBOT vs. ADRIAN MANNARINO: You might never have heard of these guys, but one will be a 2013 Wimbledon quarterfinalist.

Kubot is ranked 130th, Mannarino 111th, which is why theirs is the only men's or women's fourth-round match scheduled for Court 14 and its 312 spectators' seats. Their matchup pits one guy who's been serving really well (Mannarino and Djokovic are the only two men who have not lost a service game so far) against another who's been returning really well (Kubot leads the remaining 16 men in percentage of return points won against first serve, 44, and in percentage of return games won, 50).

The winner of Kubot-Mannarino faces the winner of Jerzy Janowicz against Jurgen Melzer, so a member of that quartet will end up in the semifinal spot that pretty much everyone figured would belong to Federer or Nadal.

5. SLOANE STEPHENS VS. MONICA PUIG; LAURA ROBSON vs. KAIA KANEPI: OK, so listing two matches here raises the total to six to watch, but they're both worth a mention. Stephens is 20, and both Puig and Robson are 19; the trio represents some of the top up-andcoming talent on the women's tour.

"There's definitely a new generation," Williams said. "I feel like this might be the beginning of, maybe, the future. I mean, eventually there's going to have to be a shift." Stephens, an American, is seeded 17th, and into the fourth round for the fourth time in the past five Grand Slam tournaments, including a run to the Australian Open semifinals in January, when she beat Williams. So Stephens must be considered the favorite against Puig, a Puerto Rican who is ranked 65th and playing in only her second major after reaching two junior Grand Slam finals. Robson, meanwhile, is the first British woman in the final 16 at Wimbledon since 1998, and therefore a big crowd favorite — not to mention someone who's been drawing a lot of attention here for Twitter interactions with members of the popular boy band One Direction. Kanepi, 28, is far more experienced and accomplished at this point, having played in four Grand Slam quarterfinals.

I am a bit concerned about the combination of Lyme disease and palpitations, since Lyme disease can affect the conduction system of the heart. However, that should have been seen on the EKG. You may want to consider treatment for your hot flashes, especially if your palpitations are so closely associated with them. Estrogen is by far the most effective, and generally is safe to use, at least for a short while.

Calcium, magnesium and vitamin D, while good for your overall health, may have only a minimal effect on palpitations/hot flashes. Some people get benefit, but most don’t.

Palpitations can be sign of heart trouble. The booklet on heart attack explains what happens, how they are treated and how they are avoided.

DEAR DR. ROACH: My yearly blood test showed an alkaline phosphatase reading of 151. It was 69, 61 and 59 the previous three years.

Anything over 130 is “high.” My doctor ordered an abdomen ultrasound and all was normal, except that my gallbladder has a small polyp, which the doctor does not seem worried about. I had other tests, which were normal. My doctor wants to recheck everything in six months. Any idea what may have caused the spike?

ANSWER: Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme made predominantly in two organs — the liver and the bone. It is released from the liver when the bile is obstructed. Bone conditions, such as Paget’s disease, can cause a high alkaline phosphatase as well.

However, your level is not very high, and I agree that a wait-and-see approach makes sense.

OF THE

PAST

100 years July 1, 1913 H.H. Needles, secretary of the Red Men’s Fourth of July committee, today received word from H. Harry McGill, who had contracted to make two balloon ascensions here tomorrow, stating that owing to illness which confined him to his bed, he could not make the ascensions. Needles said that local residents would not be disappointed as were arrangements completed this afternoon for A.C. Root, of Portland, Indiana, to make two trips into the clouds from Gramercy Park tomorrow, returning by parachute.

——— The Boy Scouts baseball team with the lineup that follows will meet the fast Catholic team tomorrow at the fairgrounds: R. Roth, catcher, L. Boyer, pitcher; L. Pfefferie, 1st base; R. Sexauer, 2nd base; R. Pence, shortstop; Knauer, left field; R. McDaniel, center field; Taylor, right field.

75 years July 1, 1938 Five cars parked along the north side of the public square escaped serious damage this morning, when a large limb from one of the trees on the inside of the square broke and fell across the street.

The limb blocked the street completely to traffic, but city crews had the debris cleared away by noon. Among the automobiles parked beneath the fallen limb were included those of Edward Cole, George Zorn and “Sharky” Chrisman.

——— Approximately $35,000 in dividends has been paid to the patrons of federal savings and loan associations for the period ended June 30. Payments were based on an interest rate of three per cent. The national banks in Sidney also declared dividends, releasing an additional $5,000, all of which indicates a strong financial position for the city.

the Shelby County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee (ASC) will be present to welcome guests at an “Open House” program from 6 to 10 p.m. Friday, July 5.

The event will celebrate the move of the ASC and the related Soil Conservation Service into their new home at 324 Fourth Avenue, just off Michigan Street in west Sidney. The new home of the agencies is modern in all ways and provides parking space for a large number of cars.

——— Mrs. Zach Welbaum, 500 1/2 North Miami Avenue, had an extra inducement for a July 4 celebration today.

She won a Lucky Barrel prize of $600 Tuesday when her name was drawn at Kaufman’s store. Registration is under way at Shelby Hardware where the prize is $300.

around you.

Depending upon how old she is and her sense of smell, she may not realize she is using as much as she is.

Women’s perfumes and men’s after-shave lotions and colognes can also cause problems at the gym. When people who are exercising begin to sweat, the smell can become overpowering and a nuisance to others. Scents that were applied the day before can turn rancid, so a shower before working out would be considerate if this could be you.

DEAR ABBY: I have a son, “Billy,” who will be 9 soon. He was conceived through rape by a man who was physically, emotionally and sexually abusive, as well as controlling and

manipulative. He threatened to kill me and Billy, but I eventually got free. I have a criminal no-contact order on him, and he has no legal rights to Billy.

I have raised my son without any knowledge of his father.

I feel it would be cruel to tell him how he came into the world. My mother disagrees.

She thinks it will backfire if and when Billy finds out.

She points out that Billy has two half-sisters he doesn’t know about. I don’t like to keep that from him.

I need to protect my son, no matter what. But am I doing the right thing? I sometimes question what is in my son’s best interest and that of our relationship. Please give me some advice. — LIVING IN THE PRESENT

DEAR LIVING IN THE PRESENT: I’m surprised your son hasn’t already asked about his father, because surely he must have questions. When Billy asks, he should be told some of the truth in an age-appropriate way. He does not need to know about the rape, but he should know that his father was violent, so for your safety and his, the courts decided Billy’s father should not be in contact with the two of you. Billy should also be told that until he is an adult it will have to remain that way.

When he’s older, he can be told that there are half-siblings.

(I agree with your mother on that.) While you can’t protect your son forever, you can keep him safe until he’s old enough to process the information.

America The Beautiful

Independence Day also know as 4th of July is the birthday of the United States of America. It is celebrated on july 4th each year in the United States. It is the anniversary of the day on which the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Continental Congress – July 4, 1776. The day they announced to the world that the 13 colonies no longer belonged to Great Britain. Independence Day was first observed in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776 On July 4, 1777, the night sky of Philadelphia lit up with the blaze of bonfires.

Candles illuminated the windows of houses and public buildings. Church bells rang out loud, and cannons were shot from ships breaking the silence. The city was celebrating the first anniversary of the founding of the United States.

The Fourth of July soon became the main patriotic holiday of the entire country.

Veterans of the Revolutionary War made a tradition of gathering on the Fourth to remember their victory. In towns and cities, the American flag flew; shops displayed red, white and blue decorations; and people marched in parades that were followed by public readings of the Declaration of Independence. In 1941, Congress declared July 4th a federal legal holiday.

Fun Facts “America The Beautiful” was written as a poem by Wellesley College professor Katherine Lee Bates in the year 1893. After riding to the top of Colorado;s Pike Peak she was inspired by the “spacious skies” and “purple mountain majesties”. Her poem was later set to music.
