Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been pretty much situation normal for Shelby Countians as the area has been fortunate enough to feel relatively little of the heatwave thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been gripping the nation.

According to the official weather station at the Sidney Wastewater Treatment facility, the temperature peaked locally on Tuesday at 92 degrees.

The heat index has topped 100 degrees, with the humidity peaking at 89 percent over the past several days.

One of the hardest hit as summer heated up this week was the Shelby County Educational Service Center in the county Annex building downtown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fourth floor has been without air conditioning for about two weeks now,â&#x20AC;? said County Commissioner Julie Ehemann. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have one on See HOT | 4

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A bipartisan compromise on student loans promises better deals for students and parents over the next few years but could spell higher rates as the economy improves.

The Senate deal pegs the interest rates on new loans to the financial markets and was expected to come to a vote next week, well before students returning to campus this fall have to sign their loan agreements.

Under the deal, undergraduates this fall could borrow at a 3.9 percent interest rate. Graduate students would have access to loans at 5.4 percent, and parents would be able to borrow at 6.4 percent. Those rates would climb as the economy improves and it becomes more expensive for the government to borrow money.

The compromise undoes the doubling of rates on some student loans that took hold on July 1, and one analysis of the Senate deal suggests incoming freshmen would save more than $3,300 in interest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have gone through weeks of negotiations and we have an agreement,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. At the White House, spokesman Jay Carney said President Barack Obama was â&#x20AC;&#x153;glad to see that a compromise seems to be coming together.â&#x20AC;?

RUSSIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a restaurant in Troy that shares a name with a charming little girl in Russia.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why The Caroline, at 5 Market St., Troy, named for Caroline ElsassSmith, a Troy High School junior, will play host to a Dine to Donate fundraiser for Carolineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crew, a

team from Russia, who will participate in the Buddy Walk in honor of Caroline Magoto, 3, of Russia.

The Buddy Walk supports families with members suffering from Down syndrome. Little Caroline is one such child.

Local hero to join Lehman Hall of Fame The Lehman Catholic High School Alumni Association has announced names of individuals to be included in the seventh annual Lehman Hall of Fame Induction.

The Hall of Fame ceremonies on Aug. 3 will begin with Mass at 5:15 p.m. in the Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Chapel on campus. Cocktails will be served at 6 p.m. Meyer with dinner to follow at 6:30 p.m. in the Harriett J. Frantz Gymnasium. Tickets are available in the Lehman Development Office. The

deadline to purchase them is July 29.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inductees are Leesa A. Baker, Betty Hemmert, Clifford Hoying, and Robert J. (Pete) Meyer .

Meyer was a member of the 1963 Holy Angels High School graduating class. Holy Angels High School (Sidney) consolidated with Piqua Catholic High School to form Lehman in 1970.

After graduating from high school, Meyer worked for two years at the Stolle Corp. before enlisting in the Marine

Corps in 1965. Soon after his marriage to Nancy Manger, of Botkins, Meyer left for a tour of duty in Vietnam. He never returned. He died on Jan. 14, 1967, five days after he was wounded during a search and destroy operation conducted by his platoon near Duy Nuyen province. Lance Cpl. Meyer is listed on Panel 14E Line 029 of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C. At Holy Angels High School, Meyer, nicknamed Pete by his classmates, was treasurer of his class and a member of the basketball team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pete was athletic, he had intelligence, and he had that

smile,â&#x20AC;? said Keith Coffman in his letter of nomination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was just something about him that made everybody like him. He was a patriot, too. He and I raised the flag every morning at school and then he gave his life for his country. He is very deserving of the Hall of Fame honor because he made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.â&#x20AC;?

Meyer is one of two men connected to Lehmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history who died in Vietnam, one a Sidney Holy Angels graduate and the other a Piqua Catholic graduate.

Board approves new contract for school employees JACKSON CENTER — A new two-year agreement with the classified employees for Jackson Center Local Schools was approved Monday night during the board of education meeting.

The new contract, said Treasurer Tony Meyer, will give full-time employees an increase of $575 per year in salary and $625 a year in the second year. The wages for the employees had been frozen for the previous three years.

Administrative contracts of three years each were given to Superintendent Bill Reichert, Meyer, Jeff Reese and Ginger Hueker. Each will receive the same amount in

increases as the classified employees for the next two years. The third year of the contract hasn’t been determined.

Salaries for each will be: Reichert, $87,075; Meyer, $75,575; Reese, $70,575; and Hueker, $60,234.78.

Two new staff members were hired by the board.

Cari Beth Noah was hired as music teacher. She will be paid $48,045 per year.

Cathy Tenney was hired as business/technology teacher. She will be paid $34,511 per year.

The board accepted the resignation of Megan Stevens as music teacher.

The financial report for the year, which ended June 30, was approved by the board. The district,

said Meyer, will end the year in a positive cash position by a small margin. The district saw an unplanned increase in services required from the Educational Service Center, as well as a 2 percent decline in revenues compared to the previous year. A 5.2 percent ($250,000) reduction in expenditures was related to manpower reductions, outsourcing and utility savings.

Reichert told the board work is continuing on the Race to the Top program.

He summarized the past year’s activities and talked about planning for the new school year.

He also said he had met with the Ohio Facilities Construction

Commission to keep communications open and to ensure timelines are understood and met in preparation for a future project.

An overview was provided on the ALICE training. This is a safety training and all the staff will go through a refresher training session.

Training was also conducted for bus drivers, which included safety scenarios in how to exit and clear a smoke-filled bus.

The board also approved a program service agreement with the Shelby County ESC for the 2013-14 school year.

The board’s next meeting will be Aug. 19 at 7 p.m.

CAROLINE MAGOTO, of Russia, at birth in Dayton Children’s Hospital.

A BIG smile reveals the joy Caroline Magoto feels and shares.

insurance because they’re too new, even though they work,” Magoto said. “I’ve always wanted (Caroline’s) struggle and her gains to mean something bigger.

So if that’s what Caroline’s Crew does, that’s our purpose.”

Caroline has made great progress, but she still has far to go. She must be fed through a feeding tube every three hours. She isn’t walking yet and she’s not potty trained.

“She had such a rough start, there’s a lot of developmental things to catch up on,” Magoto said. “All in good time. All in her time.

It’s hard to be patient. That’s very hard. But I couldn’t wait for her to sit up and (eventually) she did, to pull herself up and she did, to crawl up the steps. Why did I ever want that?” she laughed.

The former Clopay customer service representa-

everything that other kids at her age can do. She likes to play with the neighbor’s cats and loves music.

“She even does the chicken dance,” Magoto demonstrated by waving her hands. She likes taking a bike ride. And she really loves preschool at Shelby Hills.

“So much so that when I show up at school, she pretends like she doesn’t know me,” Magoto said.

In addition to the dinner at The Caroline, Caroline’s Crew raises money for the Buddy Walk, which will be Sept. 3 at 5/3 Field in Dayton, by selling T-shirts to family, friends and community residents and hosting a barbecue chicken dinner.

“I feel in a lot of ways that Caroline isn’t just ours.

She belongs to the community,” her mother said.

“Every child’s a gift. She’s been such a gift.”

Support From page 1 Cincinnati Children’s hospitals for the first six months of her life.

“A lot of other diagnoses tend to come along with that condition,” said her mother. Caroline has renal failure and had been worked up for a kidney transplant.

She had stenosis in her airway. She had holes in her heart.

“They do wonderful things at Cincinnati Children’s,” Magoto said.

“We’ve just heard that all but one hole has closed, so she’ll be going into the kidney transplant with a strong heart.” Caroline’s uncle, Matt Magoto, has agreed to be the donor.

The renal failure may be due to antibiotics given her at birth, which was by Caesarean section at 37 weeks, when Magoto realized decreased fetal movement. Caroline had a breathing tube inserted immediately. Her parents were afraid she’d have to use a trach for her entire life, but her airway has since healed.

Magoto stayed with Caroline in Cincinnati for more than four months.

“That was a hard time,” she said, “especially with five other kids.” Her husband, a UPS driver, and family members and Russia neighbors rallied around the Magotos to help out.

“If it wasn’t for my mother-in-law, I don’t know how we would have made it through. But she never cooked a meal. This community fed my kids for six months. Friends, family, the church, the community — I can’t say enough about what they did and continue to do for us. Russia is such a strong, supportive community, I can’t even put it into words,” Magoto said.

That’s why she, Nathan, Caroline, and their other children, Noah, 12, Will, 11, Jonas, 10, Isabella, 7, and Annelise, 5, and other family members decided to build Caroline’s Crew and participate in the Buddy Walk.

Proceeds fund scholarships for area Down syndrome children and adults.

“I hope we can help other families get help in some ways. We wanted a way to help others who don’t have such a support base,” Magoto said. The walk is a project of the Miami Valley Down Syndrome Association, based in Dayton, and serving Shelby County, among several others.

tive has found that having a Down syndrome child has helped her to appreciate childhood more, because Caroline is staying in childhood longer than her other kids.

“The milestones are spread out longer. When she finally sat up — wow!” she said. Caring for Caroline has also taught the older Magoto children to be compassionate and helpful. But it has caused Nathan and Lisa to second-guess their parenting skills, even after raising five other children.

“We thought we had this figured out. She likes to prove us wrong,” Magoto said. “We say all the time, ‘Why do we feel like firsttime parents all over again?’”

Despite Caroline’s slow development, there are many things that she can do. The basic need to have fun and be a kid is still there, even if she can’t do

The Historic Sidney Theatre and Raise the Roof for the Arts (RTR) will exhibit a few tricked out Harley Davidson Motorcycles for their upcoming concert on July 27 thanks to a partnership with Goverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Harley Davidson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our July 27 concert features Nashvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own pop-country trio Scarletta with opening performance by local artist Greg Burroughs Band.

Scarletta has just returned to the states after a weeklong European tour entertaining our troops,â&#x20AC;? says Sarah Barr, project coordinator for RTR.â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought it would be nice way to continue the monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s celebration of our independence by having an Americana theme for the performance.â&#x20AC;?

The stage will be decorated with a huge 20-foot by 30-foot American flag along with the motorcycles. This idea came to life when Tracy and Jim Gover, owners of Goverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Harley Davidson

Haslams move briskly to end truck stop scandal

A hero comes home

Holocaust memorial approved for Ohio Statehouse Ann Sanner Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — A Holocaust memorial will be built on the grounds of the Ohio Statehouse despite concerns from the head of an oversight board that the project is “inappropriate” for the Civil War-era site and could get the state ensnared in a constitutional legal dispute.

The privately funded $1.8 million memorial is believed to be the first Holocaust memorial planned for the grounds of any U.S. statehouse.

The project’s design was approved Thursday by the state’s Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board, which oversees and maintains the Ohio Statehouse. A construction timeline has not yet been set.

At a ceremony two years ago, Gov. John Kasich proposed build-

ing a memorial to teach people, he said, about man’s inhumanity to man.

Jewish groups praised the memorial’s approval, saying it shows that Ohio opposes discrimination based on race or religion.

The design from artist Daniel Libeskind features a split limestone path toward two, upright panels.

Cutouts on the panels are positioned to reveal a broken, six-pointed Star of David.

The plan includes having a story from a survivor of the Nazis’ Auschwitz death camp embossed on the panels. A stone wall that sits along the path would contain an engraved quote honoring the death camp liberators: “If you save one life, it is as if you saved the world.”

Board Chairman Richard Finan voted against the memorial, telling reporters he would have been fine

with “a reasonable memorial, something smaller” on the grounds.

“But this is just too much to the Jewish religion,” Finan added. He said the state could get sued for violating the separation of church and state.

Joyce Garver Keller, the executive director of the Ohio Jewish Communities, said she didn’t think the depiction of the Star of David promotes any religion. And it’s appropriate for the memorial to be placed near a government institution, she said.

“The Holocaust did not begin in the camps,” Keller said. “It did not begin with smokestacks and ovens.

It began in the halls of government where legislation was passed that allowed the expulsion of Jews and others who the Nazis didn’t support and the murder of millions of people.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The nation’s largest diesel retailer reached a speedy settlement with some customers cheated out of rebate money, which experts say is all the better for Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and his brother, Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, whose family owns the truck stop chain.

Jimmy Haslam runs Pilot Flying J, which was founded by his father. Gov. Bill Haslam left the company to run for Knoxville mayor in 2003 and still has an ownership stake.

Their prominent positions certainly give them incentive to put the scandal behind them as quickly as possible: Bill Haslam has a looming re-election campaign, and Jimmy Haslam could face sanctions from the NFL if it isn’t dealt with.

A judge has given initial approval to a class-action settlement to reimburse customers with interest, though there is no guarantee all those wronged will join. That settlement was approved Tuesday, just three months after a scheme among Pilot’s sales force to cheat customers was made public in an embarrassing blow to the company’s reputation.

Pilot seems to be trying to reach a resolution in a matter of months — even though the average class-action suit takes three years to settle, Vanderbilt University Law School professor Brian Fitzpatrick said.

“All this has happened very quickly,” he said. “This is very unusual.”

Public relations experts said

the swift movement could benefit the company, which has more than 600 truck stops across the country and is frequented by countless travelers daily.

“Whenever you have something … that could play over into an election year or into upcoming business transactions, what you want to do is clear the deck,” said David Johnson, CEO of Strategic Vision in Suwanee, Ga. “You want to settle it.”

Furthermore, the scandal could attract more lawsuits the longer it remains unresolved, Johnson said.

“You have people coming out of the woodwork saying any kind of allegation, and those sometimes are more damaging than the initial raid and lawsuit,” he said.

Gov. Bill Haslam, who will run for re-election next year, has attempted to distance himself from the scandal, saying he has not been involved in day-to-day operations for 15 years. His personal share in the privately held company has not been released, though it is kept outside of the blind trust established for his other investments and is not publicly disclosed.

Meanwhile, Jimmy Haslam also has denied any wrongdoing — though he could find himself in trouble with the NFL if he faced criminal charges. Owners have faced reprimand in the past, including former San Francisco 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr. He was suspended for a year in 1999 after being found guilty of failing to report a bribe by a government official, a felony.

Take precautions against the heat Hot The Ohio Department of Health and the Ohio Emergency Management Agency advise residents to take extra care to avoid heat-related stress.

On average, 675 deaths from extreme heat events occur each year in the United States. Most vulnerable are the elderly, those who work or exercise outdoors, infants and children, the homeless or poor, and people with a chronic medical condition. People who exercise in extreme heat are more likely to become dehydrated and get heatrelated illness. Extremely high or unusually hot temperatures can affect your health.

Heed the following tips: 8[ W ]eeZ d[_]^Xeh — Periodically check on the elderly and those with illnesses. Use the state of Ohio’s “Check on Your Neighbor kit” (http://www.odh.ohio. gov/features/odhfeatures/ CheckOnYourNeighbor/ CheckOnYourNeighbor. aspx) to spread the word. :h_da Yeeb \bk_Zi — Increase your water

intake. Don’t wait until you are thirsty before you start drinking. Avoid alcohol and caffeine.

Ced_jeh eh b_c_j ekjdoor activities — Young children may become preoccupied with outdoor play and not realize they are overheated. Adults should mandate frequent breaks and bring children indoors to cool down and have cool drinks. Those involved in team sports should be closely monitored for signs of heat stress.

Consideration should be given to modifying practice or games during the hottest parts of the day.

Adem ^em je jh[Wj heat exhaustion — Symptoms include heavy sweating, paleness, muscle cramps, tiredness, weakness, dizziness, headache, nausea or fainting. People experiencing these symptoms should be moved to a shady or air-conditioned area.

Remove or loosen tight clothing and apply cool, wet clothes or towels.

Have person sip on a half glass of cool water every 15 minutes. If the person

refuses water, vomits or loses consciousness, call 911 or the local emergency number.

Adem ^em je jh[Wj heat stroke — Heat stroke is a life-threatening situation. Call 911 immediately. Symptoms include a body temperature of 103 degrees or higher, red, hot and dry skin with no sweating, rapid pulse, headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion, unconsciousness, and gray skin color. Before medical help arrives, begin cooling the person by any means possible, such as spraying person with water from a garden hose or by placing the person in a cool tub of water.

D[l[h b[Wl[ Y^_bdren or pets in vehicles — Even in cool temperatures, cars can heat up to dangerous temperatures quickly. Even if the windows are cracked open, interior temperatures can rise almost 20 degrees within the first 10 minutes. Children or animals left inside a vehicle is at risk for serious heatrelated illnesses or even death.

From page 1 have one on order, but it’s custom-made, and it could be a month yet before it comes in.”

Ehemann said the air conditioner was on the list of capital improvements for replacement in a couple of years, but when it failed, it obviously moved up on the priority list.

“I guess it’s about 100 degrees up there, because they don’t have any windows they can open or anything,” Ehemann said.

“They’re using the first floor and rooms in the basement, and doing as little work up there (on the fourth floor) as possible.”

Residents are taking advantage of the relief that’s available to them.

“We’ve been pretty busy lately,” Madelaine Martin, cashier at the Sidney Municipal Pool, said.

People are getting more comfortable at home, too, buying up plenty of fans and air conditioners.

“We’ve been seeing a lot of them going out the doors,” Ashley Wagnild, human resources coordinator for Menards in Sidney, said.

“Everything from large industrial fans to multiple air conditioners at a time.”

The seniors making their home at area facilities have been staying cool and comfortable while the outside world is on a slow simmer.

“We had an outing that we did cancel because we thought it would be better to keep them out of the heat,” Jane Gruebmeyer, director of community relations at Elmwood Assisted Living in New Bremen, said. “We encourage those who want to walk to do walks inside the facility or take walks early in the day to avoid the heat. We’re discouraging them from being out in the heat of the day and encouraging them to stay hydrated.”

Phil Crawford, interim administrator at Versailles Health Care, said because the facility is fully air conditioned, there have not been any heat-related issues.

“Right now there’s no outdoor activities,” Crawford said. “And if they sit outside, they’re monitored to make sure they’re OK. Other than that, we really haven’t had any issue or had to curtail any activities.”

Lu Ann Presser, marketing and admissions director at Dorothy Love Retirement Community, said, “The air conditioners are buzzing, I can tell you that!”

Presser said the residents have been encouraged to stay indoors, but there haven’t been any outings planned recently, so nothing has been canceled.

“We’re still planning for a day at the fair,” Presser said.

The area’s youngest are also withstanding the spike in temperatures well.

Margie Eilerman, director of nursing for the Sidney/Shelby County Health Department, said there have been no problems found during home visits for newborns.

“Every place visited has had fans or air conditioning and seemed to be doing OK,” Eilerman said. “They usually have a room where they can keep the baby cool.”

Eilerman said the visiting nurse has been reminding new parents about the impor-

tance of keeping baby comfortable and warning them about not leaving baby in the car.

According to Debbie Brown, agriculture and natural resources educator for the Shelby County OSU Extension office, our local farmers have the experience and knowledge to keep taking care of business during the summer.

“From a practical perspective — for livestock or people — it’s plenty of water and access to cool, fresh water, keep the air moving, make sure there’s a place to get out of the sun, that kind of thing. Our farmers are used to this, and they’re taking care of their animals.”

She does offer a little friendly advice though: “Our critters are already under stress (from the heat) so try to minimize peskiness from flies and biting insects.

When it’s this hot, we just have to be extra careful and extra vigilant — fresh water, plenty of shade, keep the air moving. I personally have not heard of any problems as far as heat stress on livestock.”

Thanks to the heavy rains that preceded the heat, the crops are holding up as well.

“We had so much rain we’re not really seeing heat stress on the crops,” Brown said.

“Even after the wind that went through last week, it’s recovered. The best part about this year is we have the moisture, which has been a blessing for the crops. It means humidity for us, so that’s uncomfortable, but the crops like it better.”

Energy providers are prepared for the hot weather, so they’ve taken the heat spike in stride. Neither DP&L nor Pioneer Rural Electric have had any heat-related problems with the power grid.

DP&L reported high usage so far this year has been 3,338 megawatts on Wednesday.

Normal usage on a summer day is 2,700 2,800 megawatts.

“Our big thing was the wind storm last week,” Nanci McMaken, director of marketing and member relations for Pioneer, said.

“And obviously we’re making certain that our line crew are safe working out in this heat.”

McMaken said Pioneer has been using load management to take demand off the system, which is something the company has done since the 1970s to ensure uninterrupted power for customers while controlling overall costs and reducing load on the system.

She said the company’s recent Facebook and Twitter posts have been about load management.

McMaken said the company always offers helpful tips on the website, including summer hints, beating the heat and improving efficiency.

The worst appears to have passed for the time being, with the high temperature for today forecast at 90. Morning thunderstorms Saturday should bring the temperatures down even further, with predicted highs of 86 Saturday, 82 Sunday and 83 Monday.

Internet shows its muscle by making Emmy history

TODAY IN HISTORY

By The Associated Press

Today is Friday, July 19, the 200th day of 2013. There are 165 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 19, 1943, Allied air forces raided Rome during World War II, the same day Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini met in Feltre in northern Italy.

On this date: In 1553, King Henry VIII’s daughter Mary was proclaimed Queen of England after pretender Lady Jane Grey was deposed.

In 1812, during the War of 1812, the First Battle of Sackets Harbor in Lake Ontario resulted in an American victory as U.S. naval forces repelled a British attack.

In 1848, a ground-breaking women’s rights convention convened in Seneca Falls, N.Y. In 1870, the FrancoPrussian war began.

In 1903, the first Tour de France was won by Maurice Garin.

In 1952, the Summer Olympics opened in Helsinki, Finland.

In 1961, TWA became the first airline to begin showing regularly scheduled in-flight movies as it presented “By Love Possessed” to first-class passengers on a flight from New York to Los Angeles.

In 1979, the Nicaraguan capital of Managua fell to Sandinista guerrillas, two days after President Anastasio Somoza fled the country.

In 1980, the Moscow Summer Olympics began, minus dozens of nations that were boycotting the games because of the Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan.

In 1989, 111 people were killed when a United Air Lines DC-10 crashed while making an emergency landing at Sioux City, Iowa; 185 other people survived.

In 1990, President George H.W. Bush joined former presidents Ronald Reagan, Gerald R. Ford and Richard M. Nixon at ceremonies dedicating the Nixon Library and Birthplace (since redesignated the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum) in Yorba Linda, Calif.

In 1993, President Bill Clinton announced a policy allowing homosexuals to serve in the military under a compromise dubbed “don’t ask, don’t tell.” Clinton fired FBI Director William Sessions, citing “serious questions” about Sessions’ conduct and leadership.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Turtle rescue was illegal BARNSTABLE, Mass.

(AP) — Two members of the Kennedy family who thought they were doing a good deed by freeing an entangled sea turtle actually violated the law, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

John Bullard of NOAA’s Division of Fisheries said he spoke to brothers Max and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about their rescue of the leatherback turtle and explained to them that what they did was dangerous and a violation of the Endangered Species Act, which makes it illegal to handle an endangered or protected species.

The Kennedys freed the estimated 500-pound turtle from a buoy line wrapped around its head and fins on July 6 after they spotted it while out sailing on Nantucket Sound.

The brothers have been “cooperative and very helpful” as the agency gathers pictures, gear and other evidence involved in the rescue, Bullard told Cape Cod Times.

Turtle rescue is best left to professionals because of the danger involved, he said. Anyone who spots a distressed turtle should contact NOAA. An untrained person runs the risk of getting tangled in the line and pulled under by a turtle, which can weigh up to 700 pounds and hold its breath a lot longer than a human, he said.

MUSICIANS AND friends take photos on the site of giant poster during a concert to mark the 95th birthday of former South African President Nelson Mandela at Republique square in Paris Thursday. People celebrated Mandela’s birthday, a milestone capped by news that the former president’s health was improving after fears that he was close to death during ongoing hospital treatment.

Upbeat health report for Mandela on 95th birthday Christopher Torchia Associated Press

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Hospital visitors say Nelson Mandela smiled and nodded Thursday — his 95th birthday — and South Africans celebrated upbeat reports about the former president’s health after weeks of worrying that he was on the verge of death.

Children sang “Happy Birthday” at school assemblies nationwide, and many honored the man known as “the father of the nation” by performing acts of charity for 67 minutes, symbolizing Mandela’s 67 years of public service. World leaders praised the anti-apartheid leader’s life of sacrifice and vision.

Outside the Pretoria hospital where Mandela was admitted for a recurring lung infection, well-wishers paid tribute to him and some received slices of a large birthday cake doled out from inside the compound.

“We don’t only recognize him on this day. We put smiles on other people’s faces, we donate to other people less fortunate,” said Thato Williams, a 13-year-old student at Melpark Primary School in Johannesburg, where 700 students gathered in a hall filled with posters created to honor Mandela’s contributions to peace and education.

Mandela remains very fragile, and many details of

his medical condition have not been divulged or are tightly controlled by his family and President Jacob Zuma. The news that his health had improved was another dramatic turn in the life of a man who became a global figure of sacrifice and reconciliation during the fight against white minority rule in South Africa.

“When I visited him today, I found him really stable, and I was able to say, ‘Happy Birthday,’ and he was able to smile,” Zuma said, according to the South African Press Association.

His office had recently said Mandela’s condition was critical but stable, but a statement Thursday said he was steadily improving.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Emmy Awards are television’s biggest celebration of itself, but this year’s ceremony will face an intruder: “House of Cards,” the first online series to nab a top nomination with its best drama series.

Netflix’s triumph on Thursday, which includes nods for its revival of “Arrested Development,” is putting a further squeeze on the broadcast networks that already have lost substantial Emmy ground to cable. New network offerings were almost completely shut out and, like last year, no network drama made the nominations cut.

Kevin Spacey, the nominated star of the political drama “House of Cards,” reveled in its impressive nine bids and role as a groundbreaker.

It’s “really, in many ways, kind of a new paradigm,” he said. “It’s just a great, great thing for all of us.”

The major networks, ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox, likely have a different viewpoint. Cable channels over the year have sharply eroded their share of the audience, and now the Internet is nibbling away and will only become more robust as viewers turn increasingly to computers and other devices to consume video.

A 6-year-old TV academy rules change allows online entries to compete with cable and broadcast programs, but until Thursday online shows popped up only in lower-profile categories.

“It’s really groundbreaking,” said Ted Sarandos, chief content officer for Netflix. “It’s beyond our most bold expectations. We were thinking a single nomination would be a win…

It’s as much a win for Internet television as it is for the content creators.”

Obama talks up health care rebates, lower premiums Darlene Superville Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Disputing Republican criticism of his health care plan, President Barack Obama said Thursday the law is working and cutting costs for consumers with insurance company rebates and the promise of lower premiums.

At a White House event, Obama drew attention to $500 million in rebates going to nearly 9 million people under a provision of the law he said is holding insurance companies more accountable to their customers.

Insurers must spend at least 80 cents of every dollar on medical care or quality improvement, or refund the difference.

That’s the $500 million consumers are getting in rebates averaging about $100. For Americans who get insurance through their work, the rebates go to their employers to be refunded or used to lower premiums.

“If they’re not spending your premium dollars on health care, they have to give you some money back,” said the president, appearing with a group of health care consumers in the East Room. Obama also noted that some states, ahead of the

law’s requirement that most Americans obtain health insurance, are anticipating lower premiums because of health insurance marketplaces that are being set up under the law so consumers can comparison shop for the coverage.

Among those states are California, Oregon, Washington and New York.

Obama made his pitch a day after the Republican-controlled House voted for the 38th time to eliminate, cut funding or scale back the 3-year-old law since the GOP took control of the House in January 2011.

Loan From page 1 said students benefited: “For every one of them, the interest rates on their loans will be lower.”

At least for now. The compromise could be a good deal for students through the 2015 academic year, but then interest rates are expected to climb above where they were when students left campus in the spring.

Even in announcing the compromise, it was clear the negotiations were dicey.

“While this is not the agreement any of us would have written, and many of us would like to have seen something quite different, I believe that we have come a very long way on reaching common ground,” Durbin told reporters.

Moments later, Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa, chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, said he would revisit the whole agreement this fall, when his panel takes up a rewrite of the Higher Education Act. “Can we change it?

Sure, we can change it,” Harkin said. “It’s not the Ten Commandments, for God’s sake.”

Harkin did little to hide his unhappiness with the compromise but said there were few options to avoid a costly hike on students returning to campus this fall.

SEN. RICHARD Burr, R-N.C., (l-r) Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, chair of the Senate Education Committee, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., and Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., leave after announcing to reporters that a bipartisan agreement had been reached on rates for government student loans, at the Capitol in Washington, Thursday. Interest rates doubled to 6.8 percent July 1 because Congress didn’t avert a rate hike built into the law. Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Republican Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina were the main negotiators.

A Harkin ally, Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island, said he would vote against the bill.

“We might see one or two or three years of rates that are relatively below that number, but inevitably, mathematically those rates will go beyond 6.8 percent,” Reed said on the Senate floor after the deal was announced.

As part of the compromise, Democrats won a protection for students that capped rates at a maximum 8.25 percent for undergraduates.

Graduate students would not pay rates higher than 9.5 percent, and parents’ rates would top out at

10.5 percent.

Using Congressional Budget Office estimates, rates would not reach those limits in the next 10 years.

And one analysis from a former director of that office predicted students starting college this fall would face $3,325 less in interest payments when they graduate.

Doug Holtz-Eakin, who leads the conservative American Action Forum, used the average subsidized and unsubsidized loans students were estimated to borrow during each the next four years of college.

Lawmakers engaged in near-constant work

to undo a rate hike that took hold for subsidized Stafford loans on July 1.

Rates for new subsidized Stafford loans doubled from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent.

On Wednesday, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau estimated outstanding student debt at $1.2 trillion — up 20 percent in just two years. Student loans are now the largest form of consumer debt behind mortgages.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates 21 million loans would be issued in 2013. Students often take a combination of subsidized and unsubsidized loans to pay for

their education.

The rapid growth in debt is raising alarm among experts, and there is growing evidence student debt is weighing down the economy — for instance, by delaying the ability of young graduates to buy homes.

The increase follows the jump in the cost of higher education.

The tuition sticker price at public four-year colleges is up 27 percent beyond overall inflation over the last five years, according to the latest figures from the College Board. This past year it rose nearly 5 percent to an annual average of $8,655 nationwide.

Only about one-third of full-time students pay that published price, and the average net price — what the average student does pay after grants, scholarships, loans and federal tax credits and deductions — is just $2,910 for a year of studies. But net prices have been rising, too, and tuition is just part of the cost of college. Including room and board, the average annual sticker price at public colleges is now $17,860, and students pay on average $12,110.

At private four-year colleges, the annual average full tuition price is now just under $40,000, with the average student paying $23,840.

Council updated on Sheriff’s Office contract RUSSIA — Russia Village Council at its recent meeting heard an update on the Shelby County Sheriff ’s Office taking over law enforcement duties in the village and discussed replacing trees that were affected by the emerald ash borer.

Sheriff John Lenhart gave council members an update on providing law enforcement services to the village. The village contracted with the Sheriff’s Office beginning June 1 to provide services. Council members reported that there has been a positive reaction to having the Sheriff ’s Office handle protection for the village.

According to Rick Simon, village administrator, “The police auxiliary was disbanded for now. We are keeping the car and all the other equipment until we can evaluate how the arrangement with the Sheriff’s (Office) works out.”

The village’s website encourages local residents to contact the Sheriff’s Office with any concerns.

“You will notice the Sheriff’s (Office) patrolling the village several times a day, during day and nighttime hours.

If you need emergency assistance, dial 911. For nonemergency requests for service, call (937) 4981111 (the Sheriff’s Office nonemergency number).

If you have questions concerning village operations and the Sheriff’s (Office), you may call the village office at 526-4436. You are encouraged to report any unusual or suspicious activity within the village, regardless of how minor it may seem.”

Council member Kevin Borchers asked about council’s plans regarding replacing trees that were removed from the village park as the result of the emerald ash borer.

It was noted that 41 trees

Zoning change considered RUSSIA — A planning commission meeting will be held Monday at 6:30 p.m. in the Russia Village Office.

The commission will consider a request to amend the zoning map for 102 N. Liberty St.

Curb work started RUSSIA — Preliminary work on the Main Street reconstruction has begun.

The contractor, ADC of Union City, are saw cutting the curb and asphalt. Actual removal of the curb will begin July 29. Additional details concerning traffic in and out of Buschur’s Market, Heffner & Associates and US Bank will be released closer to that date. The hope is to maintain traffic on Main Street at all times with occasional lane closures.

Board approves bus HOUSTON — The Hardin-Houston Local School Board of Education authorized the purchase of a bus and addressed several personnel issues during a recent meeting.

The board authorized the purchase of a 2014 84-passenger bus from Cardinal Bus Sales for $90,389. The board also approved a bus tire quote from Sidney Tire.

The board approved the funding of the resource officer for the coming school year, with the amount to be determined.

Andrea Kittle was approved as a Title I teacher for $46,600 and Title I coordinator for $1,000.

The board accepted the agreement between the Hardin Houston Board of Education and the Hardin Houston Education Association, as presented, for July 1 through June 30, 2014.

The board entered into a service agreement with the Shelby County ESC to provide a staff member as an instructional assistant for the coming school year and employed Doris Monnier as eighth-grade volleyball coach for $1,473.94.

The next regular board meeting will be Aug. 19.

Francis graduates RUSSIA — Eastern Kentucky University recognized 1,708 graduates at the conclusion of the Spring 2013 semester.

The graduates were honored at commencement ceremonies May 11.

The keynote speakers that day were U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama, former University of Kentucky President Dr. Charles Wethington and author/ educator Silas House.

Kyle Andrew Francis, Russia, graduated cum laude and received a Bachelor of Science in Forensic Science.

Francis was also named to the president’s list for the spring 2013 semester.

The president’s list recognizes outstanding academit achievement Students named to the president’s list have obtained a perfect 4.0 GPA for the semester.

The new degree holders join approximately 140,000 Eastern alumni

in Kentucky and across the United States and world.

Eastern Kentucky University is a comprehensive university serving approximately 15,500 students on its 725-acre Richmond campus, at its educational centers in Corbin, Danville, Manchester, Somerset and Lancaster and throughout Kentucky, and through its EKU Online courses.

An increasing number of EKU graduates complete their degrees online.

At this commencement, 74 undergraduate degrees and 44 graduate degrees were awarded to EKU Online students, who took the same courses as on-campus students and earned the same fully accredited degree. The University offers more than 20 online degree options in a variety of academic fields.

were removed last fall and six were replaced at that time. Borchers suggested that council replace 30 trees this fall.

Council members asked that Borchers and council member Kevin Dapore put stakes in the park indicating where they feel the new trees should be planted. A decision regarding the trees will be made at the August council meeting.

Council members discussed the Main Street project. A motion was made to suspend the rules, declare an emergency and approve a resolution that determined the lowest and best bidder on the project and authorize a contract with America’s Decorative Concrete as the successful bidder. Council voted to suspend the rules and approve an ordinance to proceed with the project.

Simon told council members is a curb needs to be replaced at the library

and there are valve boxes in need of repair. Council members suggested that Simon check with the contractor during the Main Street project and see if they can repair those items while they are in the village.

Simon asked council members if they want to apply for Ohio Public Works Commission funds for the Miller Ditch retaining wall project or the rest of the West Main Street project. The applications would have to be submitted by mid-September. Council members told Simon to get the cost of each project before a decision is made.

Council members were told that DKW Consulting has completed approximately half of the sewer line inspection in the village. Several problems have been noted, but the inspection is not finished.

A detailed report will be available after the inspection has been finished.

Simon said easements for the Lynn Street lighting project have been secured. Decorative lighting will be installed later this summer.

Council members were told that Shelby County Recycling will no longer take care of the village recycling. Allied Waste will be taking over recycling pickup and it has locked in at the current price for three years.

Council had no objections to the change.

Council members were told that the sprayer/ fogger is in need of repair, and those repairs will cost approximately $1,450. Council approved the repairs.

Council members met in executive session to discuss salaries and benefits. After returning from executive session, council approved salaries as follows, including council members elected effective Jan. 1, 2014, $1,000 annually; council presi-

dent, elected effective Jan. 1, 2014, $200 additional annually; mayor elected effective Jan. 1, 2014, $3,600 annually; Mark Shappie, village maintenance worker, $21 per hour, effective Aug. 1, plus a $2,000 bonus on Aug. 1 for extra duties performed prior to the hiring of a new maintenance worker.

Simon told the Sidney Daily News, “It is imperative we get a second person licensed as a water and wastewater plant operator and the full-time maintenance position gives us the best foot forward.”

Council approved hiring Adam Barga at $15 per hour, effective June 27, and to reimburse 80 percent of his health insurance costs for his current plan through December. Barga will be employed as a maintenance worker.

Community Association looks at fundraising activities HOUSTON — Houston Community Association President Gene Greve reported at the association’s July 10 meeting that the third annual Houston Classic Festival was held recently. The Houston Community Association had a food booth and sold sandwiches.

The Association would like to thank all for the volunteer help for the two-day festival. Without their help the booth would not have been a success, he said.

The next fundraiser will be the food booth at the Shelby County

Fair, which begins Sunday and runs through July 27. This is the largest fundraiser for the association. The group depends on the volunteer help to run the booth. If anyone is interested in working at the booth this year, call Carol Wolaver at 295-2952 to sign up to work a shift or two at the fair. You can also stop by the booth anytime during the fair and sign up to work.

The booth will be open for lunch on Saturday for a while with a limited menu.

Trustees will also have a food

booth at the Piqua Heritage Festival on Aug. 31 and Sept.

1-2. The group will need volunteer help with this booth as well.

If you are interested in helping with this booth call Craig Langston at 492-8769.

Community members may rent the building by calling Marcella Colby at (937) 7780427.

The next meeting will be held on Aug. 7 at the special time of 7 p.m. Anyone is welcome to attend.

Republic to pick up recycling RUSSIA — The Shelby County Recyling Center has entered into a contract with Republic Services to pick up the village recycling. The trash and recycling will continue to be picked up

on Fridays.

Republic will begin pickup Aug. 2. Because of this change, recycling will now be picked up the same day as the trash when a holiday falls in that week. Residents can

check the village website for the holiday pickup schedule for the rest of the year. The schedules are located under menu item “Utilities” and then either “Recycling” or “Trash Service Info.”

The cost of pickup will remain the same for the next three years, and it will continue to be billed as part of the water bill.

Residents with any questions may call the village office at 526-4436.

DR. WALLACE: You said that, generally, females can consume less alcohol than men before they become intoxicated. I dispute that! Both males and females are human beings, and if they consume the same type of alcohol, they both will become intoxicated at the same time. Please tell it like it is. —Ramona, Newport, R.I. RAMONA: Don’t blame me because females have less tolerance for alcohol than males.

If you’re in a blaming mood, I guess you’ll have to blame Mother Nature.

Here are the facts: Alcohol is water-soluble and cannot be absorbed in fat. Women have more body fat than men do, so their bodies are less able to dilute the alcohol they drink. Thus, if a male and a female of equal weight consume an equal amount of alcohol, the female will become tipsy first.

This is how it is.

A new champion will be crowned in County Open Top two finishers from last year’s Open not in this year’s field Ken Barhorst kbarhorst@civitasmedia.com

There is going to be a new Shelby County Open mens golf champion this weekend after the annual tournament concludes Sunday afternoon at the Moose Golf Course.

Zach Yinger, who won his second Open championship last year by seven strokes, with a round that included a holein-one at the Moose, is not among the entrants for this year’s event, which takes place Saturday and Sunday at both local courses, the Moose and Shelby Oaks.

That would seem to leave the tournament wide open, although longtime Oaks club pro Rob Fridley said “It’s always wide open.”

Not only is Yinger not back to defend his title, the golfer who finished behind him, Ben Hogenkamp, is also not in the field either. Nate Fridley was third and fourth was former

Fridley

Open champion Brad Goffena.

Both will again tee it up this year.

There is one major change this year in that there will be only three flights for the first time. The second and third flights will open play Saturday at the Moose, meaning that only the first flight will be playing at the Moose on Sunday.

In past years it’s always been the first and fourth flights on the second day at the Moose, which is much more spectatorfriendly than the Oaks for the final round.

“The fourth flight has been steadily decreasing in numbers,” said Fridley. “It was down from 22 two years ago to 11 last year and only two this year. So we merged the third and fourth flights. We expanded the third flight by one handicap point, which takes it all the way to 15. If your handicap is higher than that, you can still play in the third flight, but use the 15. I think it will work out well. I think the guys in the fourth flight would rather watch than play (at the Moose) on that final day.”

Fridley said both courses are in excellent shape. There was plenty of rain in the couple weeks leading up to the heat and humidity of the current week.

“It’s amazing how everything

has dried up from all that rain,” Fridley said. “And the heat this week really hasn’t affected play that much. Poeple do change their schedule, so we’re busy in the morning, come noon they stop teeing off, then it comes back at four or five in the afternoon and they play until dark.

“The Moose lost a few trees, including one of their prized trees, when the storm came through a while back, but they got it all cleaned up and it looks in excellent shape,” he added.

“A lot of times going into this tournament, we’ve been in a drought, but both courses are in excellent shape.”

Fridley said there are any number of golfers who could win the title this year, but he threw out one name — Mike New. “Mike is playing very well,” he said. “He’s in the finals of the club championshp and he’s already won one leg of the grand slam (27-hole Shootout). So he’s playing real well. But you always wonder

who from the Moose can post that 71 or 72 in the first round at the Oaks and then go to the Moose Sunday and play there.

That’s always something that’s lurking.

“But there are so many good golfers out there that have 0, 1 or 2 handicap,” he added.

“There are probably close to 10 guys in that group, and they’re pretty much legitimate numbers, too. So that makes it wide open.”

Ladies Open In addition to the men’s County Open, the Ladies County Open will be played on Saturday at the Oaks beginning at 9:30.

The defending champion is Brooke Albers of Fort Loramie, who won by eight strokes last year over young Emily Knouff, also from Fort Loramie. But neither is back for this year’s tournament.

In all, there will be 12 ladies vying for the championship Saturday.

Chip Hare leaving Edison for Piqua HS

Zach Johnson of the United States plays out of a bunker on the 14th hole during the first round of the British Open Golf Championship at Muirfield, Scotland, Thursday.

PIQUA — Former Sidney High School girls basketball coach and longtime Edison Community College athletic director Chip Hare has been named the new athletic director at Piqua High School, it was announced Thursday.

Hare, approved by the board of education Wednesday, replaces David Palmer, who was recently named the AD at Troy High School.

The former University of Dayton basketball standout, Hare has lived in Piqua for 15 years and spent all of that time at Edison. And he says Palmer did good things during his term.

“Dave Palmer has done an amazing job and I can’t stress that enough,” Hare told the Piqua Daily Call. “It’s not a situation where I am going to come in and change things 180 degrees just for the sake Hare of changing. I just want to continue to build on what Dave has done.”

He said it was difficult to say goodbye to Edison after his time there.

“It was a very hard decision,” he said.

“That’s a very special place that has my loyalty. Everything I learned there in my 15 years prepared me for this opportunity. Edison was like home. I had so many special relationships and had such a great experience. Edison will always be a special place for me.”

Hare said he will remain on the job at Edison until July 31.

Johnson holds one-stroke lead NFL film GULLANE, Scotland (AP) — A blue sky and a gentle breeze usually means ripe scoring conditions at the British Open.

Just not on the brown links of Muirfield.

Zach Johnson handled it better than anyone Thursday. Helped along by a 45-foot eagle putt and only one bogey despite trouble lurking around every pot bunker, Johnson had a 5-under 66 for a one-shot lead, the first time he’s been atop the leaderboard at any major since he rallied to win the Masters six years ago.

Tiger Woods more than survived the late end of the draw, after the sun had thoroughly baked out the crispy greens and allowed only eight of the 20 rounds under par. He knocked one putt clear off the green, but 10 oneputts — most of them for pars — carried him to a 69, a good start in his bid to end his five-year drought in the majors.

“The golf course progressively got more dried out and more difficult as we played,” Woods said.

“And I’m very pleased to shoot anything even par or better.”

And for all the talk about Muirfield’s menonly membership, at least

the club doesn’t discriminate against age.

Mark O’Meara, the 56-year-old who won his claret jug in 1998 at Royal Birkdale, shot a 67 and nearly tied Johnson for the lead until his 25-foot birdie putt on the 18th took a hard spin out of the cup. Another former champion, 54-year-old Tom Lehman, opened with a 68.

It was an eclectic group who broke par, from major champions to players making their British Open debut. What they all had in common was finding a way to get through a firm, fast and frightening test at Muirfield that figures to get even harder if the Royal & Ancient doesn’t put some water on the links course.

Phil Mickelson opened with a 69 and felt like he got off easy by playing in the morning. Mickelson was concerned about some hole locations being too close to the edge of slopes, and he pleaded with the R&A to let go of its ego and “just set the course up the way the best players can win.”

Some of the best did just fine.

“Anytime you shoot under par in an Open — or a major, for that matter — you have to be

putting at least somewhat decent,” Johnson said.

“And I putted great. I made some nice birdie putts and obviously that one for eagle. But I struck some really nice, solid par putts. That’s what you’ve got to do to stay in it.”

Rafael Cabrera-Bello of Spain joined O’Meara at 67, while the group at 68 included Dustin Johnson and Brandt Snedeker, who each have contended on Sunday over the last two years in the Open.

Two-time major champion Angel Cabrera, who lost in a playoff at the Masters in April, and 19-year-old Jordan Spieth were in the group at 69.

It was a beautiful day along the Firth of Forth.

And it was hard work.

No one felt safe until the ball stopped bouncing along the crusty fairways, and no one was sure when that would happen.

“I haven’t seen anything like this,” said Snedeker, who tied the 36-hole Open record a year ago at Lytham. “I’ve played in, I think, five Opens. This is completely new to me — foreign to see a 2-iron going 300 yards. You have got to be wary of how you’re shaping your golf ball, and what shot selections you’re using on the greens.”

O’Meara thought he hit a reasonable bunker shot on the 15th until it kept rolling — and rolling — off the green and into another bunker.

“They get so glassy and crispy around the holes,” Graeme McDowell, who played with Woods, said after a 75. “You literally can see 300 footprints around the hole from all the players and caddies that have been out there today. They just get really shiny, and really glassy. I couldn’t single out a pin that I thought was unfair.

But if you got on the wrong side of them, they could make you look very, very silly.”

Yes, there was plenty of that.

Rory McIlroy never looked comfortable, and it caught up with him.

After missing left of the 12th green, he chipped it up the slope and watched it roll back down to his feet. His next chip was long and he wound up with double bogey. On the 15th hole, his putt to the back pin rolled well past the hole and into a bunker for another double bogey. A bogeybogey finish gave him a 79, his highest score at the Open since that 80 in the vicious wind of St. Andrews in 2010.

crews arrive in Cincinnati CINCINNATI (AP) — Four years after the Cincinnati Bengals were featured on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” show, coach Marvin Lewis still hears about his profane tirade to his team after a poor preseason game.

The Bengals are ready to get the NFL talking about them again.

NFL Films crews started shooting video on Thursday for the first episode of the show, which follows a team through training camp. The Bengals are the second team to be featured twice during the show’s eight seasons — the Dallas Cowboys also made a second appearance.

Cincinnati had quarterback Carson Palmer and receiver Chad Johnson — then going by the last name of Ochocinco — when it was on the 2009 show. “Hard Knocks” won two Emmy Awards that year for editing and production.

Ross Ketover, an executive producer for the

show, presented Lewis with one of the show’s Emmys on Thursday.

“It’s not really the trophy that we’re actually striving for,” Lewis said, laughing, “but we’ve got some accomplishments to do along the way. But that’s awesome.”

Many teams refuse to do “Hard Knocks” because it shows interactions between players, coaches and front-office managers in otherwise private moments. The Bengals had a few such moments during the 2009 show.

One of the lasting lines was delivered by Lewis in the locker room after a preseason loss. Unhappy with a ragged performance, Lewis berated his team as the cameras rolled and screamed at the players to “reach down inside and be a (profanity) pro.”

Lewis regretted that the moment was shown on television. He said on Thursday that he still gets comments about it.

Post 217’s season ends with 7-1 tourney loss TROY — Sidney Post 217 saw its American Legion baseball season come to an end Wednesday night in a 7-1 loss to Lima in tournament action at Duke Park in Troy.

The loss gives Post 217 a final season record of 13-19.

“We just didn’t the ball,” said Sidney coach Jason McLain. “We had one big error that cost us, and we gave up four unearned runs. We hit the ball pretty well, but we just couldn’t put anything together.”

Sidney got its only run in the second, but Lima got three in that inning and added three more in the fifth.

An insurance run came across in the eighth.

Sidney had seven hits to nine for Lima.

Dalton Bollinger had a double for Sidney and Jacob Wenning two hits.

The Legion banquet will be held on Aug. 13, and one of the guest speakers will be former Sidney Legion coach Steve Partington.

Meanwhile, Piqua defeated Troy 3-0 in the winner’s bracket final Wednesday, meaning Troy and Lima played Thursday night to see who faces Piqua in the finals.

SIDNEY POST 217’s Bailey Francis slides safely into second with a stolen base as Lima’s Dalton Martz waits for the throw in American Legion tournament action at Duke Park in Troy Wednesday night.

Sidney lost to Lima 7-1 to end its season with a 13-19 record.

Adam Jones, Baltimore The All-Star center fielder hit .400 last week with four multi-hit games. He scored eight runs with a 1.323 OPS and homered in each of the three weekend games against Toronto with six RBIs.

Chris Archer, Tampa Bay The Rays’ young righthander produced two outstanding outings last week. Through six innings against Minnesota, he allowed just one unearned run, then followed that with a fivehit shutout of Houston, with no walks in either contest.

Buster Posey, San Francisco The Giants’ backstop began the week with a 5-for-8 performance in San Francisco’s 16inning marathon with the Mets. He ended the week with nine hits over five games for a .483 average and 1.191 OPS. He drove in five in one game, then scored three in the next.

J *74 )C #>D8B 0A38=0;B 70E4 144= >DCBC0=3 ing in many ways this season, but haven’t been able to completely translate statistical dominance into winning percentage dominance. The Redbirds ended the first half with a +127 run differential, easily the best in the majors. Only three other teams in the majors have a run differential more than half that of St. Louis (Boston +91, Detroit +89 and Atlanta +78).

J C <0H 14 385582D;C 5>A B><4 50=B C> 14;84E4 but the Los Angeles Dodgers are clearly in the pennant race in the National League West. Just a couple of months ago, this team with a payroll bulging to more than $200 million, was mired in last place with a 13-21 record on May 10. With talk of when — not if — manager Don Mattingly would be fired, the Dodgers improved only slightly over the next month to 3042 on June 21. Still underachieving, still in last place. But since then, the Dodgers have won 17 of 22 games to climb to an even .500 at the All-Star break with increasing confidence.

While the arrival of rookie Yasiel Puig on June 3 doesn’t exactly coincide with the Dodgers’ surge, the young Cuban outfielder has been a major key to the success. The Dodgers are 2313 when Puig starts. Los Angeles is on the heels of the NL West-leading Diamondbacks, just 2.5 games behind. It’s a good thing that the Dodgers’ brass didn’t overreact too quickly and make Mattingly the scapegoat in May. J )8=24 =C4A;406D4 ?;0H 1460= 8= => team has dominated another across league lines like the Oakland A’s have owned the Pittsburgh Pirates. The teams have rarely met, but when they got together prior to this season, it was all Oakland. The A’s swept three-game series in 2002, 2004 and 2010 before taking the first two of the three-game set this year. But lefthander Francisco Liriano helped the Pirates break the string by leading Pittsburgh to a 5-0 win on July 10, giving the Pirates a 1-11 record against the A’s.

Noah Syndergaard, New York Mets The 20-year-old pitcher would love to join a rotation of Matt Harvey, Zack Wheeler and Jeremy Hefner in a few years in New York, and the Mets believe he’s on the right track for stardom. Acquired in the R. A. Dickey trade over the winter, Syndergaard made 12 starts at High-A St. Lucie before being promoted to Double-A Binghamton recently. Over his first 20 innings at the Double-A level, he’s allowed just three earned runs.

July 19, 1910 At age 43, Denton True (Cy) Young wins the 500th game of his career while pitching for the Cleveland Naps. Over a 17-year span, Young averaged 372 innings per season, leading the league only twice. Young also averaged 26 wins per season during that time, but led the league in wins just five times during that stretch.

July 19, 1927 Playing the Philadelphia A’s at age 40, Ty Cobb blasts a double for hit No. 4,000 of his career. It would take almost 60 years before another player reached the milestone. Pete Rose, then of the Montreal Expos, got hit No. 4,000 in 1984.

Second Half Preview

With the first three months of the season in the rearview mirror, it’s time to explore what’s in store for the second half. Who are the contenders?

What players will step up?

AL EAST The two surprises of the first half were how well the Red Sox rebounded from last season’s debacle, and how much the Blue Jays struggled, especially with their pitching.

One thing we learned is that the Yankees are old and fragile, without a strong support system at the minor league level. New York fans are not accustomed to watching a pennant race without the pinstripes, but the Yankees will likely sit this one out.

There are still 86 games to be played just within this historically tough division. So, the title will be decided in head-to-head matchups. With David Price healthy and in Cy Young form, and Matt Moore continuing to pitch well, the Rays certainly have a strong run in them. Many experts thought — myself included — that Baltimore used up its allotment of luck last season and would come back down to earth. Not so. The Orioles are not dominating one-run games and extra innings like they did last season, but they’re winning every other kind of game.

Crystal Ball: Baltimore and Tampa Bay will be the strongest teams down the stretch and overtake the Red Sox. The clutch Rays will find a way to slip past Baltimore at the end.

AL CENTRAL It seems this is at least the second verse of the Tigers-should-be-running-away song. Jim Leyland knows what he’s doing, and he’s confident the Tigers will be ready in September and October. But getting the back of the rotation and bullpen sorted out would make Detroit fans much more comfortable. I like the direction of

Myers, AP Images; Harper, Athlon Sports

Division leaders at the All-Star break have no guarantees that the second half will be as friendly as the first half. Expect the Rays, led by rookie Wil Myers (left), and the Nationals with star Bryce Harper, to take over first place over the next three months.

Cleveland and Kansas City, but I don’t see either team with enough firepower to challenge the Tigers in 2013.

Crystal Ball: This remains the Tigers’ division. The Indians will outlast the Royals for second but will not charge into the wild card race.

AL WEST When you look at the Texas and Oakland rosters side-by-side, it’s difficult to see just how the A’s are competing with the Rangers. But somehow they are, and we don’t see them going away. No other race would be affected as strongly by the Biogenesis fallout as the AL West. If Nelson Cruz of the Rangers and Bartolo Colon of the A’s face suspension, both teams must scramble to fill holes.

Crystal Ball: Texas will edge the A’s, but Oakland is my pick to host the play-in game against the Orioles.

NL EAST The Braves have dominated this di-

vision since the opening bell, and that may continue for another month or so. But the Nationals still have a charge in them this summer. The interesting question will be if the Phillies believe they are contenders and hold on to their tradable players like Cliff Lee, Michael Young and Chase Utley. I think they should seek trades, but it will be difficult to find a team willing to take on Lee and the $62.5 million still owed the lefty.

Crystal Ball: With a fresher and more stable starting rotation, the Nats will overtake the Braves around the third week in September, leaving the Braves at home in October.

NL CENTRAL Who would have believed that the three best records in the league could come from this division?

Cincinnati probably won’t finish with the third-best record but will easily be in the wild-card hunt. The Cardinals have the horses to win this division but also have more injury

Batting average with runners in scoring position and two outs this season for Allen Craig of St. Louis. The highest average in any one season in the 2000s with a minimum of 60 plate appearances is .472 by Ichiro Suzuki with Seattle in 2004. At .475, Miguel Cabrera of Detroit also has a chance to top Ichiro’s mark this season.

Players in history with 30 home runs and 90 RBIs prior to the All-Star break. Both Chris Davis of Baltimore and the Tigers’ Miguel Cabrera accomplished that this season.

Complete games by the Tampa Bay Rays’ pitching staff last week, more than 18 teams have all season.

Games played by the Milwaukee Brewers — including 11 in the postseason — between complete games by one of their pitchers. Wily Peralta notched the first complete game of his career and the first for the Brewers since Yovani Gallardo tossed a two-hit shutout of the Braves on April 5, 2011. The game was also the first that Peralta’s mom, Miledy Peralta, saw her son pitch in person as a professional.

Batting average for the San Francisco Giants off the Mets’ Zack Wheeler during New York’s 7-1 win over the Giants last week. San Francisco traded Wheeler to the Mets in 2010 at the trade deadline for Carlos Beltran, who left the Giants after that season as a free agent.

Athlon Sports

risks than their rivals in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Crystal Ball: St. Louis will win the NL Central with the best record in the league. Pittsburgh will host Cincinnati in the wild card game. The Cubs will complete the most trades in July.

NL WEST This is truly the wild, wild West.

There are no great teams, maybe not even any very good teams, but with the exception of San Diego, every team will be in the race in September.

The Dodgers are beginning to jell and Yasiel Puig has given the team a badly needed spark. The seven games between the Dodgers and Diamondbacks in September will decide the race.

Crystal Ball: The Giants will never quite put it all together, and Colorado’s pitching will fade, leaving Arizona and Los Angeles to duke it out. The Dodgers will win by two games and earn Don Mattingly some Manager of the Year votes.

Heading into the 2013 All-Star Game, do you know the current active player who has the most plate appearances in AllStar Games? And do you know the active pitcher who has logged the most All-Star innings?

TRIVIA ANSWER: Ichiro Suzuki has gone to bat 28 times in the All-Star Game, one more than both Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter. Mariano Rivera leads all active pitchers with 8.0 innings, three more than Mark Buehrle, Dan Haren and Joe Nathan.

Zack Greinke, Los Angeles San Francisco’s Tim Lincecum was certainly masterful in his no-hitter against San Diego, but Greinke had two superb starts last week against division rivals. He logged seven shutout innings at Arizona and tossed a complete game shutout vs. Colorado.

Barbie fights for her life

that work .com JobSourceOhio.com

Mae Anderson NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As far as catfights go, this is a doozy.

Barbie, long the reigning queen in the doll world, has suddenly been thrust into the battle of her life.

But Barbieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competitors look nothing like the blue-eyed, blond-haired, long-legged fashion icon.

And they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the same old standards of beauty as the aging diva either.

Monster High dolls, vampy teens that are patterned after the offspring of monsters like Dracula and Frankenstein, have neon pink and green streaks in their hair. They wear platform heels and mini-skirts with skulls on them. And the dolls that go by names like Draculaura and Ick Abbey Bominable are gaining on Barbie.

In the Maddux household in Portage, Wis., for instance, Olivia, 10, has been playing with Barbie for six or seven years. But she added Monster High dolls to the mix a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look at Olivia and some of her friends and see theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re growing out of Barbies,â&#x20AC;? says Oliviaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom, Lisa Maddux, 42, a freelance writer.

That Barbie is losing her edge is no surprise. Since debuting in 1959 as the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first fashion doll, Barbie has long been a lightning rod for controversy and competitors.

To be sure, Barbie is still No. 1 in the doll market, and the Mattel franchise is with an estimated $1.3 billion in annual sales. But Barbieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales have slipped for four straight quarters, even while the overall doll category is up 6 percent year-to-date, according to the researcher NPD Group.

Meanwhile, Monster High, which is also made

by Mattel, has become the No. 2 doll brand in just three years, with more than $500 million in annual sales, says BMO Capital Markets Gerrick Johnson.

In addition to the competition from Monster High, Barbie has had to contend with increasing criticism of her impossibly proportioned body. While the 54-year-old doll has over the years graduated from pin-up girl to a range of characters that include astronauts, engineers and princesses, detractors continue to dismiss the 11.5-inch dollâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frame as impossibly top-heavy and tiny-waisted.

Barbieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s measurements equate to about a 39-inch bust, 18-inch waist and 33-inch hips on a lifesize woman. The average American woman, by comparison, is about a size 14.

Artist Nickolay Lamm on Monday posted pictures of what the doll would look like if it had the average measurements of a 19-year-old, revealing a much more meaty physique. The pictures were featured on Web sites from CNN to Time and renewed controversy over the dollâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effect on girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; body image.

Monster High dolls, on the other hand, although still pretty slim, have a punk rock look thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intended to send the message that being different is OK. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re aimed at slightly older children â&#x20AC;&#x201D; adding to their appeal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; while Barbieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increasingly young audience is hurting sales. After all, no child wants to play with anything seen as a baby toy.

Barbie marketed to children that are between age 3 and 9, but over the past 15 years or so, the range has shrunk to around 3 to 6, Silver, the toy analyst says. This has happened because older children are likely gravitating toward electronic devices or dolls like Monster High, which are aimed at kids 6 to 13, Silver says.
