NEWPORT â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In the midst of a crowd numbering in the tens of thousands, Ben Schulze, of St. Marys, stood all by himself Thursday night at the fence separating the gold circle area from the general admission area at Country Concert â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;13.

Even though he was on the less expensive side of the fence, he was in a very good spot to see and hear everything, And he should know where the very good spots at Hickory Hill Lakes are. He has attended every one of the 33 Country Concerts that have brought people from as far away as Australia and Europe to the little campground in western Shelby County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I keep coming back for the music,â&#x20AC;? said the man whose fondest memories are of being there when George Jones and Johnny Cash appeared. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a long time ago,â&#x20AC;? he said, nodding slowly as Colt Ford belted

VAN BUREN Township firefighters pour water onto smoldering hay as it is removed from a large barn fire on Blanke Road near Kettlersville Thursday.

Fire destroyed two barns in Van Buren Township early Thursday morning, causing an estimated $2 million loss.

It was one of three fires in Shelby County that occurred within about 12 hours of one another.

Van Buren Township Fire Chief Chuck Axe said barns at the farm of Joe and Shelley Watercutter, 9500 Blanke Road, were destroyed, along with their contents, that included nine tractors, eight calves and hay. He estimated the loss at $2 million. A state fire marshal investigator is investigating the cause, but it is not suspicious, said Axe. A passerby spotted

the fire, which had fully engulfed the barns, Axe said, and could have reached the house if firefighters had not stopped it. The residents were in bed. According to Shelby County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office records, the fire was reported at 1:42 a.m.

No one was injured in the fire.

Firefighters were still on the scene early Thursday afternoon, and Axe they probably would remain there until early evening.

Assisting Van Buren Township were firefighters from Anna, Botkins, Fort Loramie, Ja c ks o n C e n t e r, See FIRES | 3

Police seek Dairy Mart robber Sidney Police are looking for a man who robbed the Dairy Mart Thursday morning.

About 8 a.m., the Police Department received a call of an armed robbery at the store at 1206 Michigan St. A lone suspect entered the store with a firearm and made off with an undetermined amount of money, police said.

The suspect was described as a light-skinned black male in his 30s of average build wearing a black hoodie with gold writing, and red jeans. The suspect fled the store on foot and got into a silver or gray larger-type sedan with a black ragtop.

Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to contact Sidney-Shelby County Crime Stoppers at 498-TIPS. A reward up to $500 is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect. Callers will remain anonymous.

The funds used for Crime Stoppersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rewards are raised through donations and Sidney Municipal Court fines. Tax dollars are not used to pay rewards, police said.

Teen killed in crash WAPAKONETA — A Wapakoneta teen was killed in a one-vehicle crash Thursday at 12:30 p.m. on Ohio 501, just north of Linzee Road.

The Wapakoneta Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol said Emily Ann Saam, 17, was killed when her southbound vehicle drifted off the east side of the roadway and struck a tree. The impact with the tree caused severe damage to the vehicle and a small fire.

Auglaize County Coroner Dr. Thomas Freytag pronounced Saam dead at the scene. Saam was transported to Bayliff and Eley Funeral Home in Wapakoneta.

Alcohol is not believed to have been a factor in the crash, the patrol said. The crash remains under investigation.

Court: Ohioan’s organs donated despite mom’s plea COLUMBUS (AP) — An Ohio man declared brain dead and on life support after a hit-skip last week had his organs harvested under court order following objections from his family.

The Columbus Dispatch reports Lifeline of Ohio, the area’s organ procurement agency, sought the court order Wednesday morning after the mother of 21-yearold Elijah Smith wrote a later to them and Grant Medical Hospital in Columbus saying that she did not want her son to be an organ donor.

Under Ohio law, nobody other than the donor can amend or revoke an organ donation consent.

Smith’s mother wrote that her son did not fully understand the decision he made by registering to be a donor.

Franklin County Judge Guy Reece issued the order Wednesday afternoon. ___ Information from: The Columbus Dispatch, http://www.dispatch.com

AP: Ohio St. president slow to give apology Andrew Welsh-Huggins Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) Former Ohio State University President Gordon Gee took his time apologizing for remarks he made that were critical of the University of Notre Dame, Roman Catholics and S outheastern Conference schools, among several of his targets during off-thecuff comments last year, records show.

Although university trustees directed Gee in a March 11 letter to begin issuing personal apologies “promptly,” he didn’t make the first of those apologies until May 20 during a previously scheduled meeting with the bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus, according to a copy of Gee’s calendar obtained by The Associated Press through a records request.

Gee followed that meeting with a series of apologetic phone calls to presidents and other officials at several universities he jabbed in Dec. 5 remarks to the university’s Athletic Council. Those apologies included a May 21 trip to Notre Dame to meet in person with the university’s president, the Rev. John Jenkins, according to the calendar and officials at Ohio State and other universities.

The university declined to directly address the delay and instead referred to the events detailed by the calendar.

“Dr. Gee made his apologies as outlined,” said university spokeswoman Gayle Saunders.

The apologies began after the university reviewed the AP’s May 13 request for the audiotape and just days before the AP first reported on the remarks on May 30.

Saunders wouldn’t comment on that timing.

Gee, 69, retired July 1.

He will remain at the uni-

Timeline of events

By The Associated Press

A timeline of events leading to apologies that former Ohio State President Gordon Gee made about off-the-cuff remarks last December: Dec. 5 In audiotaped comments to the university Athletic Council, Gee criticizes Notre Dame’s negotiating tactics, jokingly refers to “those damn Catholics,” lampoons the academic integrity of the University of Louisville and Southeastern Conference while singling out the University of Kentucky, alleges that University of Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez considered former Wisconsin football coach Bret Bielema a “thug,” makes mildly disparaging remarks about Alvarez and Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany and laughingly suggests that Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith would have to be shot before he’d allow the University of Cincinnati to join the Big Ten. Jan. 31 University trustees learn of the comments.

March 11 University trustees deliver a letter to Gee ordering him to “promptly” undertake a series of initiatives to make up for the remarks, including personal apologies.

March 18 Gee sends an email to the Rev. John Jenkins, Notre Dame’s president, asking if they could meet “in the near future” when Gee will be in South Bend, Ind., home of Notre Dame.

March 29 versity as a law professor, but details of his retirement package haven’t been released.

Ohio State, one of the country’s biggest universities with 65,000 students, has named provost Joseph Alutto as interim president.

In a speech to the Columbus Metropolitan Club, Gee refers to his habit of unfortunate remarks without mentioning the Dec. 5 comments, saying: “Even as my world view has greatly expanded, I have at times misstepped.”

Monday, May 13 The Associated Press submits public records request for audiotape of Dec. 5 remarks.

Thursday, May 16 Gee speaks at the Health Sciences Commencement of Louisiana State University, an SEC school where his daughter is an assistant professor.

Monday, May 20 During an already scheduled meeting with Roman Catholic Bishop Frederick Campbell of the Diocese of Columbus, Gee apologizes for his remark about Catholics.

Tuesday, May 21 Gee calls Alvarez to apologize, then travels to South Bend to apologize in person to Jenkins.

Friday, May 24 Gee calls SEC Commissioner Mike Slive to apologize.

Boehner sees will to act on immigration Erica Werner Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) House Speaker John Boehner said Thursday the “vast majority” of House Republicans believe they need to deal with immigration, but that they’ll take a methodical, step-by-step approach and won’t be held to any deadlines.

Legislation to secure the border and enforce immigration laws will come first, Boehner said. As for whether the House could ever agree to provide legal status or a path to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants already in the country illegally, “Well, we’re going to find out,” Boehner said.

“Through all the conversations that have occurred, with my own members, with Democrat members, it’s clear that dealing with this in

bite-sized chunks that members can digest and the American people can digest is the smartest way to go,” said Boehner, R-Ohio. “And so I’m much more concerned about doing it right than I am in meeting some deadline.”

The Ohio Republican spoke at a news conference Thursday, a day after House GOP members met to hash out their way forward on immigration.

They emerged with a consensus on dealing with border security first and moving legislation in pieces, in contrast to the sweeping bill passed last month by the Senate on a bipartisan 68 to 32 vote. What to do about the millions already here illegally remained unanswered.

With Democrats insisting on a path to citizenship, that left it unclear whether Congress will be able to get any kind of immigration bill to

President Barack Obama’s desk. The issue is one of the president’s top second-term priorities.

At the White House Thursday Obama met with two of the lead authors of the Senate bill, Democrat Chuck Schumer of New York and Republican John McCain of Arizona.

Despite the uncertainty, Schumer and McCain both expressed optimism about where things stand in the House.

“The caucus sent out a message yesterday, which was the right message, which is, doing nothing is not an option,” Schumer said.

Obama took a largely behind-thescenes role as the bill moved through the Senate, and McCain suggested it could be a mistake for him to mount a more public campaign in support of immigration reform as the House takes it up.

OHIO NEWS BRIEFS Teenager indicted in May slaying of two brothers OTTAWA (AP) A 17-year-old boy is being arraigned after his indictment on adult murder charges in the slayings of two teen brothers in northwest Ohio.

The indictment handed up Wednesday by a grand jury in Putnam County charges Michael Aaron Fay in the May 9 slayings of 14-year-old Blaine Romes and his 17-year-old brother Blake Romes. He was scheduled for arraignment Thursday.

Fay is accused of killing the siblings at the Ottawa mobile home he and his mother were sharing with the brothers and their mother.

Police found the bodies after Fay was captured in Columbus and pointed officers to them.

He’s charged with two counts each of aggravated murder and abuse of abuse of a corpse, and single counts of tampering with evidence and grand theft of a vehicle.

Kasich challenger says Ohioans can protest budget COLUMBUS (AP) Opponents of abortion-related limits inserted into Ohio’s state budget are exploring legal challenges and the possibility of forcing lawmakers to vote again on the provisions, the Democratic challenger to Ohio Gov. John Kasich said Thursday.

Funding cuts to Planned Parenthood and abortionrelated restrictions placed on publicly funded hospitals and counselors at taxpayer-funded rape crisis centers are out of step with mainstream Ohio voters, Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald said.

He said that challenging the entire two-year, $62 billion state budget isn’t an option but these elements of the bill could be forced before the Republican-dominated Legislature in January through what’s called an initiated statute.

“How about having the debate that was denied?”

FitzGerald said at a news conference. “If Gov. Kasich and his Republican allies really believe that these extreme measures when it comes to women’s health were something that the state agreed on, and that (Ohioans) believed in their position, they wouldn’t have done it in the dead of night and inserted it in the 11th hour the way they did.”

If the initiated statute were successful, lawmakers would have four months to act on the bill put before them. If they fail to do so, opponents could put the same legislation to voters in November 2014. That’s when FitzGerald will face off against Kasich. Both steps in the process would require collecting 118,000 signatures.

The Ohio General Assembly is in the midst of its two-year session, with strong Republican majorities in the Senate and House in place until the legislative elections of 2014.

Jury finds website defamed ex-Bengals cheerleader COVINGTON, Ky. (AP) A former Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader won her defamation lawsuit against a gossip website and its operator, with a jury awarding her $338,000 in damages Thursday.

Jurors in federal court in Covington found that posts about Sarah Jones on the Scottsdale, Ariz.based website thedirty.com in 2009 were substantially false. The jury of eight women and two men also found website operator Nik Richie acted with malice or reckless disregard in posting the submissions he said were anonymous.

One post alleged Jones had sex with every Bengals player, and the other said she probably had two sexually transmitted diseases.

Jones had argued that the posts were false and malicious and caused her severe mental anguish.

Richie denied any malice and said that he didn’t write the posts and was not required to fact-check submissions before posting them.

Richie’s attorney, David Gingras, had argued that holding Richie responsible for posts created by a third party would have a negative impact on the First Amendment right to free speech of other people and other websites. He said Jones did not suffer financial loss or medical problems as a result of the posts and suggested the jury award a nominal amount of $1, if they found in her favor.

Jones’ attorney, Eric Deters, said they were not seeking a specific amount in damages. But he told jurors they could help put an end to cyberbullying by awarding damages that would send a message to Richie and websites nationwide that they should be careful about what they post.

Jones cried at times during the trial, testifying that she at one time had thought about committing suicide. She said she hoped the jury would award damages large enough to force the website to shut down and help prevent other people from being hurt by it.

Woman celebrates 100th birthday of late swimmer Dan Sewell Associated Press

CINCINNATI (AP) A central Ohio woman plans a celebration for what would have been her late husband’s 100th birthday and the 35th anniversary of his disputed Cuba-to-Florida swim.

Faye Poenisch will have a reception Thursday evening in her Grove City home to honor Walter Poenisch, who on his 65th birthday in 1978 began his swim with Cuban President Fidel Castro personally seeing him off in Havana. The Cuban government praised Poenisch at the time for trying to help U.S.Cuban relations.

The retired Ohio baker and record-holding endurance swimmer called his effort the “Swim for Peace” and said he completed nearly 130 miles to the Florida Keys within two days.

But his self-proclaimed feat

wasn’t universally accepted because of what some considered insufficient independent documentation, and his use of flippers, a snorkel and other help.

“I don’t know what the big deal was,” Faye Poenisch said Wednesday of skepticism about his swim. “I know others have attempted it and not completed it.”

Poenisch, who was in the escort boat for her husband’s swim, hopes to have a book she has written about it published.

She will display during the reception her memorabilia of Poenisch’s swims, including photos of him in Cuba and during the swim, and also the bathing cap, goggles and swim fins he used. He also was a rodeo performer and had other interests she will highlight. He died at their suburban Columbus home in 2000.

Soon after Poenisch’s swim, Diana Nyad, who was among

his critics at the time, made the first of her four unsuccessful attempts.

Both Poenisch and Nyad used shark cages in 1978. In 1997, Australian swimmer Susie Maroney made the Cuba-Florida crossing in a shark cage, but no one has been credited with completing the swim without one. Nyad has tried three times, including last year at age 63.

Besides sharks, swimmers must overcome the grueling distance, strong currents pushing them off course, dehydration and other physical issues, and one of the most frequent swimstoppers: painful jellyfish stings.

Australian Chloe McCardel cut short an effort last month to make the swim without a shark cage when she was overwhelmed by jellyfish.

OUT OF THE BLUE

90 famished cats rescued BANGKOK (AP) — Thai police say they have rescued about 90 famished cats that they believed had been headed to Vietnam. They declined to say what fate they had rescued the felines from, but cats are considered a delicacy in their intended destination.

Police Col. Sakchai Sadmaroeng said Thursday his men stopped a pickup truck at a checkpoint Thursday and found six plastic cages full of cats in northeastern Nakhon Phanom province. The driver was arrested and faces charges including animal cruelty and illegal transportation of animals.

The Thai driver told police he received 2,000 baht ($63) to drive the cats to the Mekhong River, near the Thai-Laotian border.

Cat meat is offered in many restaurants in Vietnam. Dogs also have been smuggled there from Thailand for their meat.

Asiana passengers begged 911 dispatchers for help Martha Mendoza Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Stunned and bleeding after a Boeing 777 crash-landed at the San Francisco airport, hundreds of passengers staggered across the debris-strewn tarmac, some trying to help the critically injured, others desperately calling 911 and begging for more ambulances as dire minutes ticked away.

“There’s not enough medics out here,” a caller told a dispatcher in a 911 call released by the California Highway Patrol.

“There is a woman out here on the street, on the runway, who is pretty much burned very severely on the head and we don’t know what to do.”

Two people died and 180 of the 307 passengers were hurt Saturday when Asiana Airlines Flight 214 slammed tail-first into a seawall at the end of the runway. The impact ripped off

the back of the plane and tossed three flight attendants and their seats onto the runway.

The airliner, which came in too low and too slow, spun and skidded 100 feet before stopping. The battered passengers, some with broken bones, were told over the jet’s public-address system to stay in their seats for another 90 seconds while the cockpit consulted with the control tower, a safety procedure to prevent people from evacuating into life-threatening fires or machinery.

“We don’t know what the pilots were thinking, but I can tell you that in previous accidents there have been crews that don’t evacuate. They wait for other vehicles to come, to be able to get passengers out safely,” said National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Deborah Hersman.

And in this accident, it appears one of the two Chinese teens who died may have been

run over by a fire truck rushing to the burning jet.

Many passengers jumped out the back of the plane or slid down inflated slides through emergency exits. Then, say some, an unnerving wait began.

“We walked and this lady starts to appear, really stumbling and waving her hand and yelling. It took a couple seconds to register,” said Elliott Stone, who was returning from a martial arts competition in South Korea. “Then as I saw the condition she was in, I was like, oh my goodness.”

The woman collapsed, he said, and he and his family realized there might be more victims nearby, “so we started running, searching for more.

I believe we ended up finding four people that were in the back in the rubble, all very bad condition. We stayed with them, comforted them, yelling for ambulances, fire trucks, anyone to come help.”

Jurors in Zimmerman trial may consider lesser charge Kyle Hightower and Mike Schneider Associated Press

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — In an unmistakable setback for George Zimmerman, the jury at the neighborhood watch captain’s second-degree murder trial was given the option Thursday of convicting him on the lesser charge of manslaughter in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

Judge Debra Nelson issued her ruling over the objections of Zimmerman’s lawyers shortly before a prosecutor delivered a closing argument in which he portrayed the defendant as an aspiring police officer who assumed Martin was up to no good and took the law into his own hands.

“A teenager is dead. He is dead through no fault of his own,” prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda told the jurors. “He is dead because a man made assumptions. … Unfortunately because

his assumptions were wrong, Trayvon Benjamin Martin no longer walks this Earth.”

Because of the judge’s ruling, the six jurors will have three options when they start deliberations as early as Friday: guilty of second-degree murder, guilty of manslaughter and not guilty.

Zimmerman attorney Don West had argued an all-or-nothing strategy, saying the only charge that should be put before the jury is second-degree murder.

“The state has charged him with second-degree murder. They should be required to prove it,” West said. “If they had wanted to charge him with manslaughter … they could do that.”

To win a second-degree murder conviction, prosecutors must prove Zimmerman showed ill will, hatred or spite — a burden the defense has argued the state failed to meet. To get a manslaughter conviction, prosecutors must show only that Zimmerman

DEFENSE ATTORNEY Don West (standing) argues his points on lesser charges to Judge Debra Nelson as George Zimmerman (right) and attorney Lorna Truett (left) listen during Zimmerman’s trial in Seminole circuit court in Sanford, Fla. Thursday. Zimmerman has been charged with second-degree murder for the 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

killed without lawful justification.

Allowing the jurors to consider manslaughter could give those who aren’t convinced the shooting amounted to murder a way

to hold Zimmerman responsible for the death of the unarmed teen, said David Hill, an Orlando defense attorney with no connection to the case.

At Ramadan meals, Egypt weighs split in society Paul Schemm and Tony G. Gabriel Associated Press

CAIRO (AP) — As the sun set on the first day of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, families across Cairo gathered for the fastbreaking iftar meal in a country that in the last two weeks has seen protests by millions, a coup against an elected president and the deaths of dozens of people in clashes with the military.

Ramadan is traditionally a time of personal reflection and feeling a sense of brotherhood with fellow Muslims, but in the aftermath of the military overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi, the divisions among Egyptians extend even down to this traditional meal.

On one side of the city, Tahrir Square remains the symbolic center of the revolu-

tion that overthrew Hosni Mubarak and later opposed Morsi. Across town in an eastern district, Morsi’s supporters have coalesced around a major intersection in front of the mosque of Rabaah al-Adawiya.

Breaking their fast outdoors, the people in the two camps expressed bafflement and disdain for the other side.

“I don’t know if the people at Rabaah alAdawiya are out of their minds or if they are brainwashed,” said Shenouda William, a 35-year-old lawyer, who sat with about 100 people in the echoing emptiness of Tahrir Square to break their fast. Others described the Morsi supporters in the Muslim Brotherhood as ignorant peasants or possibly Palestinian and Syrian refugees looking for food and a place to sleep.

A Christian, William chose to join the iftar

as a symbol of national unity and described this as “the best Ramadan I’ve ever known because the Brotherhood are not here — they succeeded in dividing the people, and this will never happen again.”

Egyptians remain divided, however, and while the Brotherhood alienated much of the country in their year in power, they still have supporters who came by the tens of thousands to break their fast Wednesday night in a clear show of strength.

Families thronged into the boulevards near the Rabaah al-Adawiya Mosque and sat under tents or on long sheets of blue tarpaulins to first pray and then eat after the sun set.

Fireworks marked the end of the day and an imam recited the call to prayer as people tentatively took their first sips of water and ate dates handed out to the crowd.

Town has 4-year-old as mayor Jeff Baenen Associated Press

AP Photo | Jeff Baenen

IN THIS photo taken June 26 in Dorset , Minn., Bobby Tufts, the small town’s 4-year-old mayor, poses for a photo before starting the Ronald McDonald fundraising walk. Bobby was only 3 when he won election last year as mayor of Dorset (population 22 to 28, depending on whether the minister and his family are in town). Dorset, which bills itself as the Restaurant Capital of the World, has no formal city government.

DORSET, Minn. (AP) Supporters of the mayor in the tiny tourist town of Dorset can stuff the ballot box all they want as he seeks re-election.

The mayor - a short guy is known for his fondness of ice cream and fishing. And he’s got the county’s top law enforcement official in his pocket.

Say hello to Mayor Robert “Bobby” Tufts. He’s 4 years old and not even in school yet.

Bobby was only 3 when he won election last year as mayor of Dorset (population 22 to 28, depending on whether the minister and his family are in town). Dorset, which bills itself as the Restaurant Capital of the World, has no formal city government.

Every year the town draws a name during its Taste of Dorset Festival, and the winner gets to be mayor. Anyone can vote as many times as they like - for $1 a vote - at any of the ballot boxes in stores around town. Bobby is run-

ning for a second term, and he gets to draw the winning name Aug. 4, so it’s possible he could draw his own name.

Calls of “Mr. Mayor” greet Bobby as he strolls around Dorset, handing out his campaign card. One side shows Bobby, his dark hair slicked down, wearing his tan fishing vest over a suit jacket. The other side shows Bobby sitting in a porch swing with his girlfriend, Sophie.

“I would love to be your Mayor as much as I love Sophie,” the card reads.

“He’s been pretty good.

Lotta PR for the town,” said his mother, Emma Tufts, 34.

“I think he’s doing a fine job.”

Bobby’s job as mayor is to greet people as they come to Dorset, located among the pines and lakes of northern Minnesota about 150 miles northwest of Minneapolis.

Resorts and tourism are the main industry, and restaurants ranging from Mexican to Italian to family style line about two blocks on either side of the highway that runs through the middle of town.

Bobby’s major act as mayor so far has been to make ice cream the top of the food pyramid. He has many favorite flavors.

“Chocolate. And vanilla.

Strawberry. Cotton candy kind.

And rainbow sherbet,” said the mayor.

On a recent steamy summer morning, Bobby skipped ahead as he led a group of about 20 children and adults on a walk on the Heartland Trail to raise money for Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Red River Valley in Fargo, N.D. He wore his signature black fedora, adorned with fishing lures and a large button with his photo, and seemed endlessly energetic.

“I think he’s a cute little bugger and I think a lot of people share the same, you know, opinion as me, and it’s neat,” Hubbard County Sheriff Cory Aukes says. “You know, how often do you see a little kid like that who’s - call ‘em camerafriendly or whatever, you know - he’s got a very good little personality, and he’s not afraid to show it. So I think it’s great.”

Son Kevin, 7, does not get along with our rooster. He usually gathers the eggs and has had a few surprises from behind from that rooster. We also have a hen with a bad attitude. Daughter Susan came out to the barn and heard this hen really squawking. She could not keep from laughing when she saw Kevin and the hen face to face and the hen’s feathers were all raised. Kevin had an egg aimed to throw at the hen for his protection.

Kevin keeps us all laughing. He wanted to help me mix Loretta’s birthday cake, but after cracking the first egg too hard, it fell on the counter-top. He did manage to get the others in the bowl.

We made the cake while Loretta was outside sitting on the swing. We hid it until supper time so Loretta could be surprised. God’s blessings.

Community fund sends scouts to camp MINSTER — Steve Eiting, of the Minster Community Fund, attended the latest Boy Scout meeting to present a check to help the scouts of Troop 44 attend summer camp.

Troop 44 in Minster now has about 50 boys involved in scouting. This makes Minster’s troop the largest in the district and second largest in the council. Twentysix boys plan to attend the sum-

mer scout camp.

The scouts have several money raising activities including comanaging the Minster Recycle Center, helping with the Alumni Softball tournament, cleaning along county roads, and their Oktoberfest booth.

In the last three years, Troop 44 has had seven Eagle Scouts, with three or four more scouts expected to earn their Eagle Scout badge

in the next year. Over the last few years, almost 50 percent of the boys who stay in scouts have earned their Eagle Scout badge.

The national average is about 3 percent.

Indiana college offers Ohioans in-state tuition FORT WAYNE, Ind. — In the past few weeks, Indiana’s Commission for Higher Education and the Ohio Board of Regents endorsed a reciprocity agreement for county residents and campuses on both sides of the Indiana/ Ohio border.

As of July 1, Indiana Univervsity-Purdue University Fort Wayne is now able to recruit and offer Indiana in-state resident tuition rates to students in the following six counties in Ohio: Shelby, Butler, Darke, Preble, Mercer and Van Wert.

Conversations about establishing a reciprocity agreement reportedly began years ago to give students in Ohio border counties an opportunity

to choose IPFW as their college of choice, without having to pay out-of-state tuition rates, due to proximity of location. This reciprocity agreement expands higher education opportunities by increasing the availability of programs available to residents of Ohio and Indiana border counties, while creating increased access to affordable programs.

As a state, Indiana’s experience with reciprocity agreements – all connected with Kentucky and the Ohio River border – has been positive.

Enrollments have grown.

Moreover, reciprocity students are counted as resident students for purposes of state funding.

Newport From page 1 out his unique brand of country music to kick off three days and nights of sun, camping, camaraderie, beer, stars and their tunes. Schulze goes to the event alone, driving back and forth from St. Marys. His favorite living country star is Alan Jackson, but he’s looking forward most to hearing Brad Paisley perform Saturday.

Disc jockey “Rowdy Ron” Ackerman, of Lima’s WIMT 102.1 radio station introduced Mike and Mary Jo Barhorst, Hickory Hill Lakes owners, to start the weekend.

“Welcome to our party!” shouted Mary Jo. Miss Ohio 2012 Elissa McCracken sang the national anthem, after which the crowd broke into a spontaneous chant of “USA, USA.” And then Ford’s voice and backup band blasted from speakers and across giant screens.

Dick and Jane Scheblo, of Wapakoneta, also have attended since the concerts began.

They’ve had stage front seats for the last three years and attend as part of a party of clients and staff of a business owned by their son.

“A lot of our friends come here and we love the music,” Jane said over the ramped up sound. They, too, are excited to see Brad Paisley.

A Chicago couple, who have just moved to Columbus, were back for their second year, just for Thursday night.

“I’m a big Jason Aldean fan,” said Matthew Wolfe, “and I also like Colt.”

“And the great atmosphere,” added Ali Hausfeld. Aldean was Thursday’s headliner.

Tonight, Dierks Bentley and Kellie Pickler will be the draws.

Temperatures in the low 80s made the atmosphere comfortable Thursday, something that many people who survived last year’s 100-degree evenings remarked about. The lower temperatures hadn’t slowed beer sales or sales of cowboy hats.

“Sun brings hat sales,” said Deb Francis, of Fort Loramie, who manned the hat concession stand. “It seems like we’re selling lots (of hats).”

Members of the Newport Sportsmans Club — 104 of them — staff the Leinenkugel’s booth, dispensing shandy, an alcoholic drink, for $3 per glass. The club also provides the ice for campers, drinkers, and other concession stands.

Club Treasurer Keith Dapore, of Fort Loramie, said that more than 10 tons of ice is ready for use. The club has raising funds at the concert for

more than 20 years.

At the souvenir tent, Kathy Barhorst, of Fort Loramie, who manages the concessions with her husband, Mark, said the T-shirts are the biggest seller.

“And koozie cups to keep their beer cold,” she said.

They stock about 2,000 shirts, all dated with the current year, and usually sell out.

“We also have a couple of hundred hats.” Barhorst said.

Not everyone comes for the beer and the music.

Alison Ronco, of Fort Myers, Fla., was back for a second year with a group known as the Pink Ladies, who have attended for five years. The dozen or so Pink Ladies go on one night to honor breast cancer patients and survivors, Ronco said.

For Pete and Misty Scambilis, however, it’s all about the performers. The Beavercreek couple were there because, “Misty wanted to see Jason Aldean,” Pete said.

“All the top acts, current musicians and good music,” are what had Mike Baughn, of Centerville, returning to Newport for the eighth year.

The “great line-up,” was what caused Jon Fausey, of Minster, to purchase stage front seats

for his first visit to Country Concert.

The first day’s crowd had been well-behaved, at least up to press time. Shelby County Chief Deputy Sheriff Jim Frye said that not one arrest had been made by 7:30 p.m.

Thursday.

“Ohio Investigative Unit is also on the grounds. They do liquor control, ” he said.

According to Frye, no extra security measures were put in place for this year’s concert following the Boston Marathon bombing. The number of deputies on the grounds varies, depending on the size of the crowd and the amount of traffic.

Key II Security is in charge of crowd control. The company hires dozens of area people on a part-time basis.

“I do it for fun, ” said Lynn Dillow, of Rosewood, who watched an entrance gate. “It’s my third year. I’ll be stage front tomorrow and Saturday.”

Jerry Grise, of Sidney, also in a bright yellow Key II Security shirt, has been working the concerts since 2008.

“I just love it,” he said.

“I’m a country music fan, born and bred.”

T-shirts to be sent to military men, women NEWPORT — Lima radio personality “Rowdy Ron” Ackerman, of WIMT 102.1 country radio station, has been a disc jockey at Country Concert before.

“Everyone always says, ‘Autograph my shirt,’” Ackerman said Thursday.

“This year, I want to do a reverse autograph. I want everyone to sign my shirt.” He displayed one of the T102 shirts that he has brought in the hopes that all 57,000 concert-goers will sign.

The shirts will be sent to military men and women serving overseas.

By Thursday night, he had collected more than a thousand signatures on four shirts at his picnic table to the right of the Saloon stage at Hickory Hill Lakes. There is no charge to sign a shirt.

“I don’t know how many we’ll end up with,” he said, “but we’re able to come out and do this (concert) tonight because of people keeping us free.”

The opportunity to sign will continue throughout the weekend, whenever an act appears on the Saloon stage.

Q&A: Latest health law fight: Battle of mandates Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — If businesses get an extra year to meet a new health care mandate, why not everybody else?

Republicans, seizing on the White House delay for employers, are demanding that the Obama administration give individual Americans an equal break. But the White House says that’s just a thinly disguised gambit for dismantling the entire health care overhaul.

What to believe?

“If businesses can get relief from Obamacare, the rest of America ought to be able to get relief as well,” declares House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio.

“A delay in the individual mandate is repeal by another name,” responds White House communications director Jennifer Palmieri. It’s a political attempt to sabotage health care for the uninsured.

The battle of the mandates is the latest clash in the long-running political fight over health care — a fight that’s far from over.

Under President Barack Obama’s big overhaul, most people will be required to have insurance starting next Jan. 1, and larger businesses were supposed to offer affordable health care to their employees who average 30 hours of work a week.

Here are some questions and answers in the aftermath of the

administration’s sudden delay of the employer mandate: Q: So what are the law’s mandates?

A: One is for individuals and another for employers. The individual requirement takes effect in 2014; the employer mandate has been delayed until 2015.

Under the health care law, virtually all Americans must carry medical insurance, either through an employer or a government program, or by buying their own policies. Most people are unaffected because they already have coverage.

Q: If you don’t have it, how do you get it?

Middle-class individuals and families with no access to jobbased health insurance will be able to buy subsidized private coverage through new markets that open Oct. 1. Low-income people will be steered to an expanded version of Medicaid in states that accept it.

Those who remain uninsured will face fines that start small — as little as $95 in 2014 — but build up over time. There are exceptions for financial hardship and other circumstances.

Q: And what about businesses?

A: The employer mandate applies to companies with 50 or more workers. They could face fines for not providing coverage, and also if their plan is deemed unaffordable under

Country singer Randy Travis recovering from brain surgery Chris Talbott AP Music Writer

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Country music stars and fans joined together to urge prayers for Randy Travis overnight as he recovered from brain surgery following a stroke at a Texas hospital.

Travis remained in critical condition after surgery Thursday morning to relieve pressure on his brain, publicist Kirt Webster said. The 54-year-old Grammy Awardwinning singer had been improving while being treated for heart failure caused by a viral infection when he had the stroke.

Stars including Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum and Martina McBride and the Grand Ole Opry used Twitter to express their concerns and join Webster’s call for prayers for Travis, a popular and pivotal figure in country music. Hundreds posted messages with the hashtag PrayforRandy.

“We’re all pulling for you Randy,” Brad Paisley said via Twitter.

The setback occurred hours after doctors said Travis was showing signs of improvement since the start of treatment Sunday for congestive heart failure and the insertion of a pump to help his heart increase blood flow.

His doctors said Wednesday in a video statement that his heart problem stemmed from an upper respiratory infection caused by a virus, but they have not released any information since.

Infections, both viral and bacterial, may start elsewhere in the body but sometimes can affect the heart, either because the infection itself spreads or because immune cells that are fighting it enter the heart and cause inflammation.

About 20 different viruses, including the flu, can lead to this so-called myocarditis, and there’s no way to predict who is at particular risk, said Dr. Justine Lachmann of Winthrop University Hospital in Mineola, N.Y. When younger people develop heart failure, it’s usually for this reason.

Most people recover from myocarditis, but a small number rapidly develop lifethreatening illness — experiencing a domino effect as the inflammation weakens

the heart muscle, leading to congestive heart failure, in which the heart can’t pump properly. Doctors treat them with supportive care, trying to allow the heart muscle to rest and recover, sometimes by inserting devices such as the one Travis received to help the heart pump.

His heart problems in turn led to the stroke and can cause other complications.

It was not clear what kind of stroke Travis suffered.

The most common type of stroke is caused by a blood clot that travels to the brain.

The other kind happens when a blood vessel in the head bursts or leaks. Stroke patients who get treatment quickly are usually given a drug to dissolve the clot that caused the stroke.

Drs. William Gray and Michael Mack of the Baylor Health Care System in Texas described Travis’ condition and hospitalization for the first time in a video statement earlier Wednesday, noting his condition had stabilized and he had “shown signs of improvement.”

Hours later, he was in the operating room. Doctors had not yet addressed Travis’ current condition Thursday.

The “Three Wooden Crosses” singer was in good health until three weeks before he was hospitalized, when he contracted a viral upper respiratory infection, Gray said.

Travis was admitted to Baylor Medical Center McKinney near his home in Tioga, about 60 miles north of Dallas, through the emergency room Sunday. He was transferred to The Heart Hospital Baylor Plano after having the pump installed via catheter.

Travis’ illness comes as he’s been trying to put his life back together following a series of embarrassing public incidents involving alcohol. Travis pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated in January following an arrest last year and received two years of probation and a $2,000 fine. He was required to spend at least 30 days at an alcohol treatment facility and complete 100 hours of community service.

He recently made several public appearances, including a spot on the Country Music Association Festival’s nightly concert lineup and a poignant performance at George Jones’ funeral.

the law.

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 95 percent of employers with 50 or more workers already offer health benefits. Nonetheless, it’s a big issue for small businesses that are growing, and for companies that employ lots of low-wage workers not currently offered health insurance.

Q: If the administration delays one mandate, why not the other?

A: Actually, the two mandates are in the law for different reasons and purposes. Delaying the individual requirement, which has survived a Supreme Court challenge, would have a much bigger impact.

It serves as a stiff nudge to get as many Americans as possible into the insurance pool. The premiums of healthy people are needed to offset the cost of covering people in poor health who currently can be excluded by insurers.

“It’s what’s going to keep the insurance markets from collapsing once we open the door to people with pre-existing conditions,” said Timothy Jost, a law professor at Washington and Lee University in Virginia who supports the health overhaul. Starting Jan. 1, insurers are barred from turning away people in poor health.

The employer mandate was designed as a guard rail, to deter employers from dropping coverage and shifting workers

to taxpayer-subsidized programs. It’s expected to play only a supporting role in the expansion of coverage to millions of uninsured people.

Q: What’s the impact of delaying the employer requirement?

A: The administration says it will give more time to work out the rules in a way that’s fair to businesses. Reporting requirements that would allow the Internal Revenue Service to enforce the mandate turned out to be extremely complicated.

Among the problems is that businesses have to keep track of employees’ hours in a different way. Business groups were relieved to have another year.

However, the delay could also raise government costs and leave some workers uninsured.

Taxpayers would wind up paying more because some workers will get coverage through the new insurance marketplaces instead of through employers, and they’ll be entitled to new tax credits to help with premiums.

Q: Why are Republicans objecting to a delay in a law they’ve been trying to repeal?

A: Democrats say the answer is clear: politics.

White House spokesman Jay Carney calls it “a nihilistic effort” to undermine the law, accusing Republicans of trying to take away benefits from millions of Americans “in the

name of partisan political victory.”

Republicans say they are calling attention to problems with the law that run counter to the administration’s reassuring message that everything is on track.

“Clearly the rollout of Obamacare is in disarray,” said Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, chairman of the Ways and Means health subcommittee.

The delay raises questions of whether the White House “is competent enough to administer its own massive health care law.”

Q: How does Obama have the legal authority to delay a law just because rules aren’t ready in time?

A: The Treasury Department — which oversees the IRS — says it is acting under long-settled authority to write the rules for carrying out laws passed

by Congress. Additionally, a spokeswoman said the department has authority to grant “transitional relief” when major legislation is being introduced.

That may be so, critics say, but the delay is clearly not in keeping with the letter of the health care law.

“It is quite obvious, on its face, that this is not what Congress intended,” said James Capretta, a health care expert with the conservative Ethics and Public Policy Center.

Obama nominee questioned on Clinton and Benghazi Bradley Klapper Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s choice as chief U.S. envoy for Europe defended her role in the talking points created after last year’s deadly attack in Benghazi, Libya, at a Senate confirmation hearing Thursday that seemed focused as much on the tragedy as the future presidential prospects of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Victoria Nuland refused to blame Clinton, for whom she served as spokeswoman when U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the attack on a U.S. diplomatic mission last Sept.

11. Nuland said she objected to some of the administration’s talking points in the days after Benghazi because they were inconsistent, inaccurate and risked prejudicing the FBI investigation into those responsible for the attack.

“It was not for me to decide what we knew or what we could declassify,” Nuland told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

No one at the hearing expressed doubt about Nuland’s qualifications for the job of assistant secretary of state for Europe— a point a potential Republican opponent of Clinton for the presidency in 2016, Sen. Marco Rubio, conceded.

But Nuland’s prospects for confirmation appeared tied to how she

answered questions on the Benghazi attack, with several Republican senators asking her why the Obama administration shifted its public explanations of the assault. They also wanted to know why, shortly afterward, the president’s former U.N. ambassador and current national security adviser, Susan Rice, blamed it on extremists who hijacked a spontaneous protest against an anti-Islam video.

The consistent question was whether Nuland acted at Clinton’s behest when she weighed in on the talking points being prepared for Congress.

She sought the removal of references to a Libyan militia group and jihadists possibly laying siege to the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.

In publicly released emails, Nuland, a career foreign service officer who has held senior positions in the George W. Bush and Obama administrations, cited concerns of her “building’s leadership.” On Thursday, she said she never spoke to Clinton about the talking points and hadn’t read any intelligence reports about the attack.

“My responsibilities were to ensure consistency of our public messaging but not to make policy,” she said. “So I never edited these talking points. I never made changes. I simply said that I thought that policy people needed to look at them.

Rarely is a potential assistant secretary of state expected to expound on such politically sensitive policy issues.

But Nuland has powerful Democratic patrons who at least at one time harbored presidential ambitions — and in Clinton’s case, perhaps still. Nuland served as key adviser to Clinton and her successor, Secretary of State John Kerry, both of whom have run for president. She also has served as a foreign policy adviser to former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney.

Since Obama’s re-election, Benghazi has been the centerpiece of an intensive effort by Republicans to scrutinize Clinton’s tenure and undermine her strong favorability in public polls as she mulls a future campaign.

An independent review last year blamed the State Department for inadequate security but absolved Clinton of any personal wrongdoing. Still, American Crossroads, a group connected to GOP strategist Karl Rove, released a web video in May that was critical of Clinton’s handling of the Benghazi case, amid lingering accusations from some Republicans that the Obama administration’s changing story reflected an attempt to mislead the country about an act of terrorism in the heat of a presidential campaign.

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., was the first to press Nuland, beginning by recalling his heated exchange with Clinton at her final hearing in January.

He quoted Clinton’s response to him at the time: “What difference at this point does it make?”

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, July 13, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Tension at home might arise due to renovations or visiting guests in the next few months. You will be willful about achieving what you want.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) In the next few months, your communications with others will be direct and energized! You're gonna say what you mean and mean what you say.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You're slipping into a work mode for the next two months. Take advantage of this to earn money, because you might be spending more as well.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Fiery Mars will be in your sign until September boosting your energy and making you more forthright in your relationships. Try to get more physical exercise as well.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You'll be working on something behind the scenes for the rest of the summer.

A few of you might use this energy to dabble in a secret love affair.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your involvement with sports or any group activity can promote keen competition between you and others for the rest of the summer. You're going to give it everything you've got.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your ambition is aroused for the next several months, making this the perfect time to go after what you want. If not now, then when?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) All kinds of travel opportunities will tempt you the next several months.

Commissioners hire security officer; table action on grounds-use policy The Shelby County Commissioners appointed a new courthouse security officer and tabled a Shelby County Courthouse grounds-use policy during their Tuesday meeting.

The commissioners approved hiring Richard Cron, of Piqua, as a part-time Shelby County Courthouse security officer, replacing Gary Mitchell, a retired Ohio State Highway Patrol officer who was in that position. Mitchell took a leave of absence from the position and Cron is filling in.

Cron and will be paid $12 per hour.

The commissioners decided not to take action on a policy regarding the use of the Shelby County Courthouse grounds. The policy is necessary to satisfy the requirements of the county’s insurance carrier, according to Shelby County Commissioner Julie Ehemann. Under the policy, those using

the courthouse grounds for large events will have to reserve it by contacting the commissioners office and filling out a form. They will be asked what they plan to use the property for and if they are raising money during the event and where the money will be used.

Anyone using the property will be required to sign a release that they have their own insurance in the event of any accidents, so that the county is not liable for any claims. The policy will be in effect for the grassy area around the courthouse and not the sidewalk area around the courthouse. The sidewalk area is city property and the grassy area belongs to the county.

In other action, the commissioners approved the reappointment of Public Defender Commission terms and named Doug Stewart to a

continuation of his term that began on Sept. 23, 2011, and will continue through Sept. 22, 2015; Andrew Counts, whose term began Sept. 23, 2011, and will continue through Sept. 22, 2015; and Harry Faulkner, whose term ran from Sept. 23, 2009, through Sept. 22, 2015, to a new term that will run from Sept. 23, 2013, through Sept. 22, 2017.

The commissioners opened bids for the Wells Road widening project, with one bid from Barrett Paving for $107,062. The commissioners will take the bid under advisement until July 16 before they award the bid.

The commissioners opened bids for the Botkins Road bridge replacement project, with bids received from Carr Concrete, Waverly, W.Va., for $77,126 and Prestress Services, Lexington, Ky., $60,000. The commis-

sioners will take the bids under advisement until July 16 when they will award the contract.

The commissioners approved Then and Now certificates in the amount of $45,383.41. The certificates are in regard to items that are purchased and do not have purchase orders approved at the time the purchases are made. The certificates are approved monthly, however, Ehemann noted that the commissioners are working with county departments to minimize expenditures without purchase orders.

In other action, the commissioners met with Dan Freytag of Freytag and Associates to discuss the exterior masonry repair and restoration at the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office and the Shelby County Jail project. The commissioners will set a bid opening date of July 16 at 2 p.m.

Retailers report strong gains for June Anne D’Innocenzio AP Retail Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — June sales heated up for stores, in a sign that Americans likely will continue to spend during the important backto-school shopping season.

U.S. retailers reported their strongest sales gains since January, as shoppers, enticed by warm weather and an improving economy, took advantage of summer discounts.

Revenue at stores opened at least a year - an industry measure of a retailer’s health - rose 4.1 percent in June compared with the same month a year ago, according to a preliminary tally of 13 retailers by the International Council of Shopping Centers. The mall trade group had expected an increase of 3 to 3.5 percent.

The data, released Thursday, offers positive signs for the backto-school season, which is the second-biggest shopping period behind the winter holidays. June

is when stores clear out summer merchandise to make room for goods for fall, so brisk sales mean that stores likely won’t be stuck with piles of summer shorts and T-shirts that they need to get rid of as the back-to-school kicks off later this month.

June’s performance was its best performance since January’s 4.5 percent gain and showed a gradual improvement since early this spring. The tally was up 3.4 percent in May and 3 percent in April.

Going forward, Michael P. Niemira, chief economist at the International Council of Shopping Centers, expects that total sales for the back-to-school season, which runs from mid-July through mid-September, will be up a solid 3.1 percent to $42.2 billion. That would be less than the 3.6 percent gain in 2011, but in line with the 3.3 percent pace on average over the past 10 years.

Stores are benefiting from an improving economy that has

gained a robust 195,000 jobs in June. Employers have added an average 202,000 jobs for the past six months, up from 180,000 in the previous six. The housing market is also gaining strength. And consumer confidence in June is at the highest level since January 2008, according to the Conference Board.

“The reports are encouraging,” Niemira said. “We had seen consumers pull back a littler earlier this year, but now there’s a willingness to spend. It adds to the flavor of the other economic data out there that looks better.”

Indeed, while big chains such as Wal-Mart Stores, Target Corp. and Macy’s Inc. no longer report monthly revenue, the stores that do offer economists a snapshot of consumer spending habits. In total, the retailers that report monthly data represent about 6 percent of the $2.4 trillion in U.S. retail industry sales.

Police: 24 bodies found in Quebec train crash Dave Crary Associated Press

LAC -MEGANTIC, Quebec (AP) — The first victim of a runaway oil train’s explosive derailment in a Quebec town was identified Thursday, more than five days since the disaster, which left behind a scorched scene so dangerous that it slowed the search for 50 people presumed dead.

Quebec’s premier toured the traumatized town and sharply criticized the U.S. railway’s chief for not responding in person more quickly to Canada’s worst railway disaster in nearly

150 years.

Police said four more bodies had been found, bringing the total found to 24.

The first victim to be identified by the coroner’s office was 93-year-old Eliane Parenteau, who lived in the disaster zone in downtown Lac-Megantic.

Those who knew her described her as being active for her age.

The devastated downtown remained dangerous for days after the crash as responders put out fires and struggled to keep the remaining oil tankers cool so they wouldn’t explode.

The hazardous conditions

delayed the search for the missing — and now for bodies.

Officials also have warned that identifications would be made more difficult by the incinerated scene.

Conditions had at least improved enough for nearly all the 2,000 residents forced to evacuate after the crash — a third of the population— to return home, the town’s mayor said.

Quebec Premier Pauline Marois arrived in town and renewed her criticism of Edward Burkhardt, president and CEO of U.S.-based Rail World Inc., which owns

the runaway train.

“The leader of this company should have been there from the beginning,” Marois said at a news conference.

Burkhardt arrived in town for the first time Wednesday with a police escort, facing jeers from residents.

Burkhardt has said he delayed his visit to deal with the crisis from his Chicago office, saying he was better able to communicate from there.

“I understand the extreme anger,” he said.

“We owe an abject apology to the people in this town.”

U.S. unemployment benefit applications rise to 360K Christopher Rugaber AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of people applying for U.S. unemployment benefits rose 16,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 360,000, although the level remains consistent with steady hiring.

The Labor Department said Thursday that the less volatile fourweek average increased 6,000 to 351,750.

The weekly applications data can be volatile in July because some automakers briefly shut down their factories to prepare for new models and many schools close. Those factors can create a temporary spike in layoffs.

The broader trend has been favorable. Applications have declined steadily in the past year, as companies have laid off fewer workers and stepped up hiring. In the past

six months, employers have added an average of 202,000 jobs a month.

That’s up from an average of 180,000 in the previous six months.

Yelena Shulyatyeva, an economist at BNP Paribas, said the volatility will likely continue for the rest of the month and “could mask the true underlying trend in jobless claims data.”

“We believe that labor market conditions remain on a gradually improving trajectory,” she added.

Employers added 195,000 jobs in June, and revisions showed that an additional 70,000 jobs were added in the previous two months. The unemployment rate was 7.6 percent, down from 8.2 percent a year earlier.

Applications fell to their lowest level since the recession began in the AprilJune quarter, according to calculations

by Joseph LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank. They aver-

aged 346,000 a week in the second quarter. That is the lowest quarterly average since it was 338,000 in the final three months of 2007, when the Great Recession began.

About 4.5 million people received unemployment benefits in the week ending June 22, the latest data available. That’s about 50,000 fewer than the previous week. It’s also 23 percent lower than a year ago, when there were nearly 5.9 million recipients.

Some of those who no longer receive benefits have gotten jobs, but many have simply used up all the benefits available.

More hiring could help the economy grow faster later this year. The economy expanded at an annual rate of just 1.8 percent in the January-March quarter. Most analysts think it slowed even further in the second quarter, to about 1 percent to 1.5 percent.

Shelby County flood risk information open house scheduled for July 25 Representatives from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in conjunction with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, will host a Flood Risk Information Open House on July 25 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Sidney Police Department, 234 W. Court St., in the training room.

The open house will provide Shelby County residents with an opportunity to review a recently completed preliminary Flood Insurance Study (FIS) and its accompanying preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs).

The general public is invited to review the preliminary floodplain map and learn about risk in

their community. Those interested may drop-in at any time during the event to talk one-on-one with FEMA and state ODNR representative.

The FIS and the FIRMs provide base flood information, delineate areas subject to significant flood hazards within the county, and offer information public officials may use when permitting development in the floodplain.

The open house will be staffed with representatives from various local, state, and federal agencies who will provides the most current information about flood risk, flood insurance, floodplain development regulations, and the process for floodplain mapping within Shelby County. The newly prepared pre-

liminary floodplain maps will be on display. Once the maps become effective, these maps will be used by floodplain permit officials, builders and developers, lenders, Realtors, insurance agents and the general public to determine flood risk, develop mitigation measures, and encourage wise and responsible risk management decisionmaking.

Property owners, Realtors, lenders and insurance agents are urged to attend and take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about flood risk and hazard mitigation within their community. For more information, contact Mark Seidelmann, Stantec Consulting Services Inc., at (614) 486-4383.

Tribe rookie dazzles in 4-2 win CLEVELAND (AP) — Still soaked after being doused with beer, Danny Salazar picked up the official lineup card he was given as a memento of his first win.

“I didn’t know I would get this,” he said at his locker.

Salazar began to fold it in half and tuck the card into his backpack when he was stopped by clubhouse manager Tony Amato.

It was the rookie’s only mistake.

Salazar pitched six superb innings and won his major league debut, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 4-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday.

Salazar, who began the season in Double-A ball, allowed just one run and two hits. The right-hander didn’t give up a hit until the sixth, struck out seven and showed poise from his first pitch to his last.

The hard-throwing 23-yearold was shocked at being called up, but he pitched with the nerves of a seasoned veteran and gave the Indians a muchneeded strong outing.

“He was terrific,” Indians manager Terry Francona said.

“That can be what he is. The kid has special stuff.”

Salazar was brought up for one start. He’s headed back to Triple-A Columbus, but it may not be long before Salazar is back in Cleveland on a more permanent basis.

“We think the kid has a very bright future,” Francona said.

Chris Perez gave up a run in a shaky ninth but got his 11th save as the Indians beat knuck-

CLEVELAND INDIANS starting pitcher Danny Salazar pitches in the first inning of a baseball game against the Toronto Blue Jays Thursday in Cleveland. Salazar took a no-hitter into the sixth inning of the Indians’ 4-2 victory.

leballer R.A. Dickey (8-10) for the second time this season.

Asdrubal Cabrera homered in the first off Dickey and Lonnie Chisenhall drove in a run in Cleveland’s two-run sixth.

Jose Bautista hit an RBI double for Toronto’s only run off Salazar, who admitted being nervous during his pregame warmup in the bullpen.

But once he was on the mound, Salazar was unflappable — and for a while, unhittable.

Unleashing a fastball that registered 99 mph on the stadium radar gun, he coasted through the first five innings, striking out seven and not let-

ting the Blue Jays get many good swings. A few of his pitches were way out of the strike zone, but just when it appeared he might come unraveled, Salazar settled down.

Salazar’s seven strikeouts were the most by a Cleveland pitcher in his debut since Luis Tiant struck out 11 New York Yankees on July 19, 1964.

“We couldn’t do anything with Salazar,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. “He’s got a great arm. I tip my hat to the young kid.”

Salazar held Toronto without a hit until the sixth, when Josh Thole, batting just .108 slapped a 1-2 pitch into left. Salazar

received a nice ovation from Cleveland fans, who haven’t seen many quality starts lately from the Indians’ rotation.

Munenori Kawasaki sacrificed and Salazar retired Jose Reyes on a liner to second.

Bautista then tied it 1-1 by ripping an RBI double to left.

Salazar recovered and got the final out before heading to the dugout, where he was warmly greeted by teammates. Salazar took some pressure off a tired Indians bullpen dragging itself to the All-Star break.

Salazar said he prayed the Indians would score in the bottom inning to get him a win, and Cleveland, which squandered some early threats against Dickey, came through with two runs.

“I’ve been waiting for this moment for seven years,” said Salazar, who was signed by the Indians in 2006 and underwent Tommy John surgery in 2010.

“I threw five innings without hits. After the game, all the guys were throwing beers all over me. That’s fantastic.”

Salazar was given two souvenir balls: his first strikeout and the final out. He said “everyone” in his hometown of Cabrera, Dominican Republic gathered in a local park to watch him pitch.

Rich Hill worked a hitless seventh, Cody Allen struck out the side in the eighth and Perez allowed Colby Rasmus’ RBI single and put the tying run at first before getting Rajai Davis on a liner to left for the final out.

The Indians pushed two runs across in the sixth against

Dickey to take a 3-1 lead and make Salazar a winner.

Chisenhall came through with a blooper to left with the bases loaded that hung in the air long enough that the runners had to freeze.

When it dropped, Michael Brantley sprinted home and left fielder Davis, thinking he had a chance at a forceout at home, sailed his throw to the backstop. The ball ricocheted toward the plate, and Ryan Raburn scored from second before the Blue Jays could retrieve it.

Cleveland tacked on an insurance run in the eighth on Carlos Santana’s RBI triple.

Cabrera, who had two hits on Wednesday to snap an 0-for-20 slump, drove an 0-2 pitch from Dickey over the wall in right in the first to make it 1-0.

NOTES: Last year at the break, Dickey was 12-1 with the New York Mets. … Perez is 5-for-5 in saves since coming off the disabled list on June 27. … Indians 1B Nick Swisher, bothered by a sore left shoulder, didn’t start. He’s in a 21-of-101 (.208) slump. … Blue Jays INF Brett Lawrie (sprained left ankle) played his second straight game at second base on a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday. Lawrie has played third since joining the Blue Jays in 2011, but the team is considering a position change when he comes off the disabled list. … Reynolds went 0 for 3 and is batting a majorleague low .165 (21 of 127) since May 30.

Shatto Memorial 110 Saturday at Shady Bowl

Cincinnati Reds vs. Atlanta Braves

DEGRAFF — The finest late models in the tri state area are expected to be on hand for the second running of the Denny Shatto Memorial 110 at Shady Bowl Speedway Saturday night.

CINCINNATI REDS’ Shin-Soo Choo (17) steals second base as the ball gets away from Atlanta Braves second baseman Dan Uggla in the first inning of a baseball game on Thursday in Atlanta. The Reds were trailing 6-5 going to the bottom of the eighth inning after ace starter Matt Latos was roughed up for six earned runs and nine hits in just four innings.

Shatto, from Sidney, was a longtime car owner whose potent machines posted wins at a host of pavement and dirt ovals in the midwest. The last part of his career as a car owner focused on pavement racing. Jerry Mitchell, Don Gregory and Wayne Watercutter were just a few of the drivers who settled into the coveted seat of his racers. Shatto lost his life

after a battle with cancer in 2006. Since his passing his son Kevin has carried on the family traditiion with drivers Chris Parker and Nathan Herron. A longtime sponsor for the team, Helman Brothers Body Shop of Sidney, has stepped up and added bonus money, making the winners share now $2500 for the 110 lap event. In addition lap sponsors are being collected that could add $5 for each lap a driver leads (if all 110 laps are sponsored). The modifieds, street stocks, tuners and compacts will also be in action. Admission price is $14 for adults, kids 12-15 $7. Racing will start at 7.

Puig misses out as All-Star Associated Press

So much for Puigmania sweeping the country. Give this contest to Atlanta first baseman Freddie Freeman.

Freeman and Toronto reliever Steve Delabar won the fan voting for the final spots in next week’s All-Star game, meaning Los Angeles Dodgers sensation Yasiel Puig is likely headed for a few days off after a terrific stretch to begin his major league career.

Freeman set a record with 19.7 million votes, and Puig was second.

Major League Baseball didn’t release the vote total for Puig, but said the Cuban defector also surpassed the previous record for the final vote of 15.6 million for Shane Victorino in 2009.

“It’s unbelievable,” Freeman said. “I’m kind of speechless. I wouldn’t be here without the fans

and I just saw that it’s 19.7 million votes. It’s incredible and it’s just a dream come true.”

Freeman was taking ground balls during batting practice before Atlanta’s home game against Cincinnati on Thursday night when general manager Frank Wren called him over and told him about his first All-Star selection.

The slugger is batting .307 with nine homers and 56 RBIs in 78 games.

“I never, ever thought that I would make one,” Freeman said. “I just wanted to get to the big leagues, and when I got here I just wanted to win ballgames. All-Star games were not on my mind.

“To win this is just beyond me.”

Puig won’t get to play in the July 16 game at Citi Field in New York unless he is added as an injury replacement. The

outfielder is batting .394 with eight homers and 19 RBIs heading into Thursday night’s home game against Colorado, helping the Dodgers shoot up the NL West standings following a slow start.

“I don’t have my head down at all,” Puig said through an interpreter before the game. “I want to congratulate Freddie Freeman for winning the vote. I’m happy for everyone who voted. I have to keep playing.

Hopefully the best things come out for this team for the future.”

Puig has been in the majors for only five weeks, leading some to question whether he belongs on the NL team.

“If he can continue to do what he’s doing over seasons, then we’re going to see a lot of Yasiel,” Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said.

“How good you are really

is measured over time.”

The final vote for the AL team also had its share of controversy, with Tigers manager Jim Leyland nominating five middle relievers for the spot. There was some talk about whether the list should have included more high-profile players, since the All-Star game is essentially geared toward the fans.

Delabar won with 9.6 million votes. The righthander is 5-1 with a 1.74 ERA in 37 appearances for the Blue Jays.

The Braves and Blue Jays had partnered up in the process, asking fans to vote for each other’s player.

The other players on the list included righties David Robertson of the Yankees, Joaquin Benoit of the Tigers, Koji Uehara of the Red Sox, and Tanner Scheppers of the Rangers.

MLB Players Survey

Adrian Beltre, Texas The Rangers’ third baseman led the majors with four long balls last week ending a 22-game homerless streak. Beltre now has a nine-game hitting streak that includes four multi-hit games, as he batted .478 with a 1.607 OPS last week.

David Price, Tampa Bay The Rays are ecstatic over having their ace back on the hill. Returning from a triceps injury, Price allowed just 11 hits with no walks over 16 innings in wins over Houston and the White Sox.

Brian McCann, Atlanta The Braves have been waiting for their catcher to break out this season, and last week he did just that. Batting an even .600 for the week, McCann raised his average from .250 to .304. He has multiple hits in his last four games.

Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles The former Cy Young winner and the Dodgers are rolling as Kershaw is the only pitcher in the bigs with a sub-2.00 ERA. Last week he shut out the Rockies on four hits, then followed with a masterful eight innings at San Fran.

Notes: Wright, who has played his entire career in the National League, received 75 percent of his votes from the AL. For Jeter, a lifetime American Leaguer, 63 percent of his votes came from the NL.

Handing Out First-Half Hardware

July 12, 1966 In newly opened Busch Stadium in St. Louis, 18 future Hall of Famers take the field as the National League defeats the American League All-Stars, 2-1 in 10 innings. Maury Wills singles home Tim McCarver in the 10th inning to give the NL the win.

July 11, 1999 In MLB’s first-ever Futures Game — a showcase of top minor league talent in conjunction with the All-Star Game — Alfonso Soriano belts two home runs as the World team defeats the U.S. team 7-0.

Mark Mulder is the losing pitcher. Lance Berkman, Pat Burrell and Nick Johnson are the 3-4-5 hitters for the U.S. in the game played at Fenway Park.

2. Matt Harvey, New York The Mets’ young ace carries a 0.91 WHIP — second only to Kershaw’s 0.90 in the NL — and owns seven wins for a team that hasn’t enjoyed much success this season.

3. Adam Wainwright, St. Louis The Cardinals’ ace has 11 wins and has walked just 13 batters. He’s scheduled to start on Sunday, so he’ll likely sit out the All-Star Game, but he’s been a horse for the young St. Louis staff.

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR 1. Yasiel Puig, Los Angeles The right fielder from Cuba is quickly becoming a legend in L.A. In just 32 big league contests, he has 16 multihit games. While that’s not enough time (in my opinion) to be an All-Star, it is sufficient to be considered the top first-half rookie.

2. Shelby Miller, St. Louis The former first-round pick from Texas has nine wins and owns as many strikeouts as hits and walks allowed.

3. Jose Fernandez, Miami The Marlins’ ace has an identical 1.08 WHIP as Miller with a slightly higher ERA (2.83 to 2.80).

MANAGER OF THE YEAR 1. Clint Hurdle, Pittsburgh It’s been 20 years since Pirates fans cheered for a winner in Pittsburgh and it’s been Hurdle who has trusted his players, shown remarkable patience and made his young players believe they can win.

2. Walt Weiss, Colorado Some questioned the Rockies’ wisdom in hiring a manager off the high school fields, but Weiss has the Rockies overachieving.

3. Fredi Gonzalez, Atlanta The Braves’ skipper doesn’t receive enough credit for holding this team together as stars like B.J. Upton, Jason Heyward and Dan Uggla struggled, and others like Brian McCann suffered through injuries.

50 55-22 71-10 3 1.64 9

AP Images

Max Scherzer (left), who leads the majors with 13 wins, and Clayton Kershaw are the best pitchers for the first half.

AMERICAN LEAGUE MVP 1. Miguel Cabrera, Detroit No player makes hitting looks as easy as Miggy. Since the beginning of last season, no one in the AL has a batting average within 18 points of Cabrera, or within 51 RBIs. He leads the league in runs, hits, average, RBIs, OPS and WAR, for the sabermetricians.

2. Chris Davis, Baltimore Most years, a .320 average with 33 homers and 85 RBIs at this point would easily be considered the best first half. But not in 2013.

3. Mike Trout, Los Angeles If the Angels are to actually get back in the pennant race, it will be Trout, not Albert Pujols or Josh Hamilton, who leads the way.

4. Manny Machado, Baltimore There’s little doubt that Machado has an MVP award in his future.

5. Josh Donaldson, Oakland The defensive whiz is fourth in the league in hitting and fifth in OPS, plus he leads the first-place A’s in just about every offensive category.

CY YOUNG 1. Max Scherzer, Detroit The big righthander, at 13-0, is the first pitcher to be undefeated with that many decisions since Roger Clemens in 1986. He has 139 whiffs with just 81 hits allowed and 26 walks.

2. Hisashi Iwakuma, Seattle It seems weird for a member of the Mariners’ staff not named Hernandez to make this list, but Iwakuma owns the majors’ best WHIP (0.88) and league’s best ERA (2.60).

3. Yu Darvish, Texas Darvish is tops in the circuit in Ks and is the horse in Texas that the rest of the staff leans on for big outings.

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR 1. Jose Iglesias, Boston While Puig has been making headlines in the National League, Iglesias has been quietly hitting near .400 since earning a permanent spot in the Boston lineup in late May. 2. J.B. Shuck, Los Angeles The youngster has found a home, for now, in center field for the Angels.

Career home runs for Mike Trout of the Angels. With 73 stolen bases in his young career, Trout is the fastest player to reach 50 homers and 50 steals. He has done it in just 266 games.

Jered Weaver’s record at Angel Stadium in his career. That mark is the highest winning percentage at the ballpark of any pitcher in history with 60 or more decisions.

The Texas Rangers’ record in games in which third baseman Adrian Beltre homers. The slugger has 86 home runs since joining the Rangers in 2011.

3. Nick Franklin, Seattle While there are a number of solid candidates in the NL, rookies haven’t exactly taken the junior circuit by storm this season. The natural shortstop has been solid defensively at second, and is batting .287 with six homers in 37 games.

MANAGER OF THE YEAR 1. John Farrell, Boston The Red Sox currently own the best record in the American League and few experts saw that coming. Farrell has earned the trust of his players and handles the pressures of Boston well.

2. Buck Showalter, Baltimore Considering the Orioles’ amazing success in one-run games in 2012, many chalked up their success to some measure of luck that would even out in 2013. While the record in one-run games has leveled out, the success has continued.

3. Terry Francona, Cleveland The Indians believed they landed a gem in Francona, and he has not disappointed.

As mentioned in Numbers Game, Mariano Rivera has 76 saves vs.

Baltimore and nine losses, both highs against a single opponent.

Do you know which team Rivera has the most wins against?

Players among the 10 highest-paid in baseball who were named All-Stars this season. That is based on the 10 highest average annual value contracts.

Jeremy Hefner’s ERA since June 4. According to ESPN Stats, the Mets’ righthander has the lowest mark in the majors during that time.

Losses to the Baltimore Orioles by the great Mariano Rivera in his career, the most to any team. Adam Jones hit a two-run homer off Rivera on Sunday to hand the all-time saves leader his ninth loss to Baltimore. Rivera has 76 saves vs. the Orioles, 13 more than any other team.

Athlon Sports

TRIVIA ANSWER: Rivera has 12 wins over the Boston Red Sox, the most of any team.

NATIONAL LEAGUE MVP 1. Yadier Molina, St. Louis Defensively, Molina has no peers. He single-handedly shuts down running games, and pitchers thrive under his leadership behind the plate. And beginning midway through last season, the heady catcher added another element to his All-Star talents. He is now a threat offensively, leading the National League in batting this season.

2. Carlos Gonzalez, Colorado From an offensive standpoint, CarGo leads the senior circuit in home runs with 24, OPS at .994 and is tied for the lead with 66 runs. The All-Star left fielder has actually raised his batting average since teammate Troy Tulowitzki was lost to an injury in mid-June thanks to a couple of four-hit games.

3. Paul Goldschmidt, Arizona Aside from leading the league with 74 RBIs, the Diamondbacks’ first baseman is third with a .952 OPS. He owns 21 percent of his team’s RBIs. 4. Joey Votto, Cincinnati The former MVP has clearly obtained the status that renders a .321 batting average and .431 OBP unimpressive.

We’ve come to expect that and more.

The Cincinnati offense still relies on Votto to produce runs.

5. Carlos Gomez, Milwaukee For all the sabermetricians, Gomez owns the highest WAR in the league, according to ESPN, anyway. Defensively, the Brewers’ center fielder has stolen more home runs than any other outfielder. He’s also figured out something at the plate this season, hitting .315 as of Sunday.

CY YOUNG 1. Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles The former Cy Young winner currently has the lone sub-2.00 ERA in the majors. With the Dodgers starting to click offensively, Kershaw has a good chance of improving on his eight firsthalf wins in the second half.

Luebke still hoping to pitch this season SAN DIEGO — The website www.Padres.com includes a story written by a couple of writers for Major League Baseball (MLB.com) on the status of pitcher Cory Luebke, a graduate of Marion Local High School.

Luebke had reconstructive Tommy John surgery on his left elbow in May of last year, and according to the story, he is holding out hope that Luebke he will pitch in a big-league game yet this season, even though time is running out.

Luebke is back throwing again after several stops and starts during his rehabilitation. He’s currently at 120 feet, working up from 60 and 90 to 120 feet with 150 feet still to go before he

can return to a mound.

“It feels better,” Leubke told MLB.com. “We’re being a little more cautious, making sure that we don’t push it.”

The return time frame for pitchers who have had Tommy John surgery ranges between 12 and 18 months.

Because no two cases are alike, those estimates are exactly that — estimates.

The Padres have mapped out a rough plan for Luebke that could have him throwing in a game in late August or early September if he hits all of his rehab marks.

He said for now he’s not going to worry about the particulars of where and when he will make his return.
