Fair weather welcomes fairgoers Rachel Lloyd rlloyd@civitasmedia.com

Area residents took advantage of a gorgeous day to spend some time enjoying the opening day of the Shelby County Fair Sunday. “The weather is fantastic,� Barb Heilers, treasurer of the Shelby County Agricultural Society (Fair Board), said Sunday evening. “It didn’t rain. We got that yesterday. It was cool in the morning, and the humidity’s lower than last week.� didn’t Fairgoers seem to mind stepping around the few wet spots that remained after Saturday ’s storms rolled through

town, and everyone had to appreciate how it moderated the weather to make for one of the nicest possible fair opening days. “We do our gate totals for 7 to 3 and then 3 to 11,� Heilers said. “The total for 7-3 was about $9,000, so it looks really good for today.� The biggest numbers at the gate generally come from the 3-11 tally. The day kicked off with opening ceremonies, with County Commissioner Julie Ehemann offering a welcome on behalf of the Board of Commissioners, and Chuck Craynon speaking on behalf of

the Boy Scouts. The Houston High School band performed, and select veterans raised the flag. The fair kicked off a brand new program, Special honoring Olympians with the Special Day for Special Athletes. The athletes were treated to a free day at the fair, which kicked off for about 40 special guests with an opening ceremony, where the athletes received a balloon and swag bag. Heilers said the organizers were very pleased with the support from vendors and concessionaires, who provided free treats

There was a new category among the grand champion ribbons presented Sunday at the 2013 Shelby County Fair Culinary competition and a young, first-time entrant took home the prize. Langenkamp, Lucas 8, proudly held his jar of prize-winning watermelon hardtack candy as Dick Barhorst, of Fort Loramie, auctioned it off. Jeff Pollard, of Best One Tire, bought it for $275. Lucas, son of Wendy and Ed Langenkamp, of Houston, wasn’t sure what he will do with all that money. “Maybe buy an iPod,� he said after some thought. Pollard, along with Michelle Mumford, Shelby County clerk of courts, and Sidney Body Carstar, also purchased the top cake, an angel food made by Connie Snapp, of Houston, for $275. Pollard’s wife, Heather, urged him to buy it because “it looked good,� she said. “We just like supporting Shelby County,� she added. John Bertsch, of Detailed Machine, paid $325 for a plate of cinnamon rolls made by Trisha Schulze, of Sidney.

Detailed Machine has purchased the grand champion yeast bread and rolls entry in six of the last seven years. Keeping prizes in the family, Laura Schulze, Trisha’s mother, won a ribbon for her grand champion sour cream cherry almond coffee cake, which was bought by Julie Ehemann, Bob Guillozet and Troy Keyes for $275. “I got the recipe from a Sidney Daily News Holiday Cookbook from years ago,� Schulze said. “I changed things some. I picked the cherries from my neighbor. I’m excited that all that hard work paid off!� Schulze uses her winnings to make donations to nonprofit organizations. “This allows me to donate to lots of charities,� she said. Luann Pellman, of Sidney, has been entering baked goods “a lot,� she said. She won for the first time with an almondcrusted blueberry goat cheese pie. She found the recipe on the Internet after she had tasted the pie at a restaurant in Indiana. It was purchased by Detailed Machine for $300. See CANDY | 3

What is the wording of the levy on the ballot? Editor’s note: In preparation for the August special election, the Sidney Daily News, in conjunction with the Citizens for Sidney Schools levy committee, will be publishing a question of the week to inform voters about the five-year, 1 percent income tax levy. How is the ballot worded? The ballot substantially reads as follows: PROPOSED INCOME TAX S I DN EY CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT A majority affirmative vote is necessary for passage Shall an annual income tax of one percent (1%) on the school district income of individuals and of estates be imposed by the Sidney City School District for a five (5) year period, beginning January 1, 2014 for the purpose of current expenses? FOR THE TAX AGAINST THE TAX ———

SIDNEY SCHOOL LEVY FACTS The Citizens for Sidney Schools comment this proposed 1 percent, fiveyear income tax is considered “traditional� and is not an increase in revenue collected, but a replacement option to compensate for the expiring 9.9 mill emergency property tax levy and expired .8 mill permanent improvement levy. For more on who and what is taxed, see Guide to Ohio’s School District Income Tax available at: Citizens for Sidney Schools, www. sidneyschoolslevy.org; Sidney City Schools, www.sidney.k12.oh.us/; Ohio Department of Taxation, www.tax.ohio. gov.

Superman’s past, future takes Comic-Con spotlight Matt Moore Associated Press

Superman is among comics’ most recognizable characters, and 75 years after Cleveland teenagers Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster’s Kryptonian made his debut in the pages of Action Comics No. 1, his popularity remains stratospheric. At Comic-Con International, Superman’s presence could be seen everywhere — in the attendees wearing versions of his many costumes and in scenes from the television serials, cartoons and films. “Superman was the first comic book superhero and the first cross-media sensation. Practically everyone of every generation knows and recognizes the character, so that’s a huge asset for his ongoing popularity,” said Rob Salkowitz, author of “Comic-Con and the Business of Pop Culture.” “Batman has been more successful in the past couple of decades because he is in some ways more relatable —but also because of the times. Batman speaks to our fears. He’s about revenge and darkness,” he said. “Superman speaks to our hopes. He’s about transcending our limitations. He’s about using vast power for public good, not private gain.” Jim Lee, co-publisher at DC Entertainment who, along with writer Scott Snyder, created the new Superman comic book “Superman Unchained,” said few characters have been as relevant as Superman for so long. “Name another character that’s been around for 75 years that’s still being published and relevant,” challenged Lee. “There are very few that are still relevant to today’s culture and to today’s audience that are still being published,” Lee said, giving as examples that Superman was a social crusader in the 1930s, fought Nazis in the 1940s, was a yuppie in the 1980s “and in the ’90s had a mullet!”

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — Government troops fired mortar rounds that slammed into a main market in a town in northern Syria on Sunday, killing at least 20 civilians, activist groups said. The mortar shells struck the town of Ariha, which is held mostly by opposition fighters, a few hours ahead of iftar, the meal that breaks the dawnto-dusk fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The U.K.-based Syrian Observatory

for Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees, two opposition groups tracking the violence in Syria, said at least 20 people were killed including two children and two women. It was not immediately clear what triggered the shelling. Also Sunday, state media said government forces killed nearly 50 rebels in an ambush near Damascus. Separately, Kurdish rebels freed the local commander of an alQaida-linked group in a town near Syria’s northern border with Turkey in return for 300 Kurdish civilians detained by the group,

as part of an agreement to end rebel infighting that erupted a day earlier in the region. The commander in the town of Tal Abyad, who is known as Abu Musaab, was captured during intense fighting between the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant and Kurdish militants late Saturday, the Observatory said. The Islamic fighters retaliated by rounding up civilians believed to be relatives of the Kurdish fighters to hold as bargaining chips. Infighting between al-Qaida militants and more mainstream Syrian rebels, as well as between Kurds and

Arabs, has grown more common in Syria in recent weeks — part of a power struggle that is undermining their efforts to topple President Bashar Assad. Kurdish gunmen have been fighting to expel al-Qaida militants — many of whom are foreign fighters — from the northeastern province of Hassakeh over the past week. More than 60 fighters have been killed from both sides, according to activists. On Saturday evening, the fighting spread to Tal Abyad, which is located in neighboring Raqqa province near the Turkish border.

Foul odor leads authorities to grizzly find Thomas J. Sheeran Associated Press

EAST CLEVELAND (AP) — Authorities responding to a report of a foul odor from a home discovered a body and arrested a registered sex offender who led police on a gruesome hunt through a poor Ohio neighborhood in a search for potentially more victims, officials said Sunday. East Cleveland Police Chief Ralph Spotts said Sunday that searchers should be prepared to find one or two more victims, but he declined to elaborate. Mayor Gary Norton said the suspect has indicated he might have been influenced by Cleveland serial killer Anthony Sowell, who was convicted in 2011 of murdering 11 women and sentenced to death. It’s the latest in a series of high-profile cases involving the disappearance of women from the Cleveland area. One body was found Friday in a garage. Two others were found Saturday — one in a backyard and the other in the basement of a vacant house. The bodies, believed to be female and all wrapped in plastic bags, were found about 100 to 200 yards apart, and authorities believed the victims were killed in the last six to 10 days. Searchers rummaging through vacant houses in the same neighborhood Sunday were warned by Spotts to brace themselves for the smell of rotting bodies and to look out for trash bags that might conceal a body. He declined to elaborate on his comments about the possible additional victims.

Norton said authorities have “lots of reasons” to suspect there are more victims, but he refused to say why. A 35-year-old registered sex offender in custody is a suspect in the deaths, Norton said. The suspect, who was arrested Friday after a police standoff, has indicated to authorities he might have been influenced by Sowell. “He said some things that led us to believe that in some way, shape, or form, Sowell might be an influence,” Norton told The Associated Press. The man hasn’t been charged. A report of a foul odor emanating from a home led police to the discovery of the first body, found in a garage, and to the suspect. Two other bodies were found nearby Saturday. The bodies were each in the fetal position, wrapped in several layers of trash bags, Norton said. He said detectives continue to interview the suspect, who used his mother’s address in Cleveland in registering as a sex offender, the mayor said. “The person in custody, some of the things he said to investigators made us go back today, ” the mayor said Saturday. Cuyahoga County medical examiner Dr. Thomas P. Gilson said Sunday that the bodies were in advanced stages of decomposition and that it would take several days to identify them and how they died. About three dozen volunteers, including community anti-crime activists, fanned out Sunday morning across yards, through vacant houses and along a railroad to help police

search. The chief advised them to watch for missing floor boards as they looked inside houses. One young searcher crawled under a board screwed across a door to go inside a house to search. “The MO of each body we’ve found so far was wrapped up in a lot of garbage bags, so if you see anything …. and it might not look like it’s a body, but it could be — because each bag, the way he had each person was in a fetal position,” Spotts told searchers before they began. “It didn’t look like a person could actually fit in the bag.” Pam Butcher, 55, said she came out to help search her neighborhood because she was disturbed by the death and said she knew other volunteers were, too. “They are concerned because it could have been one of their family members,” she said. “It could have been one of their kids. It could have been one of their nieces. It could have been one of their aunts.” One neighbor, Nathenia Crosby, said she was familiar with the suspect and had seen him walking through the neighborhood. She said she had told him to stop chatting with her daughter and warned him after seeing him talk to her cousin. “It’s very scary, especially when he used to be talking to my daughter,” said Crosby, 48. “But I told him he was too old to be talking to my daughter because she was only 19. When I found out how old he was, I said, ‘You need to move on, she’s too young.’ “ The police, FBI, the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s

EAST CLEVELAND residents gather outside abandoned house to help search for more bodies Sunday in East Cleveland. Police Chief Ralph Spotts told volunteers checking vacant houses in a neighborhood where three bodies were found wrapped in plastic bags that he believes there could be one or two more victims.

Department went through yards and abandoned houses over about three blocks Saturday and used dogs trained to find cadavers. The neighborhood in East Cleveland, which has some 17,000 residents, has many abandoned houses and authorities want to be thorough, the mayor said. “Hopefully, we pray to God, this is it,” he said. It’s the third recent high-profile case in the Cleveland area that involves missing women. In May, three women who separately vanished a decade ago were found captive in a run-down house. Ariel Castro, a former school bus driver, has pleaded not guilty to nearly 1,000 counts of kidnap, rape and other crimes. In 2009, Sowell was arrested after a woman escaped from his house and said she had been raped there. Police found the mostly nude bodies of 11 women in garbage bags and plastic sheets throughout the home.

A look at recent notorious cases in Cleveland area The Associated Press

A suspect is in custody after three bodies were found wrapped in plastic bags in an East Cleveland neighborhood, and a police chief says he believes one or two more victims could be found. Here is a look at some of the most recent highprofile cases involving the disappearances of women from the Cleveland area: — Anthony Sowell was arrested Oct. 31, 2009, after police investigating a woman’s report that she had been raped at his house began finding bodies. Eventually, the remains of 11 troubled women were discovered. Prosecutors say that the victims began disappearing in 2007 and that Sowell lured them to his home with the promise of alcohol or drugs. The victims were disposed of in garbage bags and plas-

tic sheets, then dumped in various parts of the house and yard. Sowell was convicted in 2011 and sentenced to death in the women’s murders. He now sits on death row. — In May of this year, a woman missing for a decade escaped from a run-down Cleveland home, saying she and two other women had been held captive there for years. Former school bus driver Ariel Castro was later charged with nearly 1,000 counts of kidnapping, rape and other crimes. The three women disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004, when they were 14, 16 and 20 years old. Each said she had accepted a ride from Castro, who fathered a daughter, now 6, with one of the women. He has pleaded not guilty and is jailed on $8 million bond.

Farm Bureau offers interactive agriculture experience at the Ohio State Fair COLUMBUS — Family fun and a connection to rural Ohio are just two of the many reasons for visitors to stop by the Land and Living exhibit at the Ohio State Fair, Wednesday to Aug. 4. Presented by Ohio Farm Bureau Federation (OFBF), the exhibit demonstrates agriculture’s link to everyday life. Visitors to the exhibit, located in the Nationwide Donahey Ag & Hort building, can participate in a variety of activities such as taking a ride in a virtual combine harvester simulator, watching chicks and turkeys hatch and driving remote control tractors through a farm setting. Children can ride a pedal tractor through the OFBF Country Cruise while adults can take a stroll to learn about Ohio crops, animals and other important areas of Ohio agriculture. Families also can capture their fair experience with a souvenir picture, compliments of Farm Bureau. The Land and Living display will showcase many new exhibits including the Country Connection stage with demonstrations such as winemaking basics, sheep shearing, agriscience experiments and animals from the Columbus Zoo. July 26 and 27, Gus Smithhisler will carve a giant squash weighing more than 600 pounds, and

the joint House and Senate Agriculture Committee hearing will be featured July 29. Also joining the Land and Living line-up is Seed Survivor, presented by Agrium; this highly interactive exhibit will feature 20 multimedia and virtual reality games, a sunflower seed planting station, a watershed center and more. This exhibit for youths demonstrates that plants need water, light, healthy soil, and nutrients to survive, as well as showing the importance of agriculture. “The Land & Living exhibit definitely has something for everyone in the family,” said Ohio Farm Bureau lead intern Kelly Fager. “The building is full of activities that will leave visitors with a better understanding of Ohio agriculture.” Land and Living is supported by the Ohio Soybean Council, Ohio Corn Marketing Program, Ohio Corn & Wheat Growers, Ohio Small Grains and the Ohio Expositions Commission. Last year, the exhibit attracted an estimated 350,000 state fair visitors. Land and Living is located east of the giant slide and across from the south entrance to the midway. There is no additional charge for visiting the building or any of its displays.

Combat veterans escape with martial arts Oliver Ortega Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — A roadside bomb destroyed much of Jason Pegg’s left arm eight years ago in Afghanistan, leaving the retired Army sergeant with a thick scar that runs from his triceps to his wrist. Though years removed from combat, Pegg, 33, still suffers from occasional bouts of anxiety. But at a mixed martial arts academy in Reynoldsburg, the Northwest Side man and other veterans take their battle scars to the mats, finding solace in the combat sport of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Four times a week, the 6-foot, 280-pound Pegg practices takedowns and arm locks,

wrestling with men of all ages and sizes at the Ohio Combat Sports Academy. The sport’s physical aspect helps him blow off steam while offering a sense of camaraderie similar to what he experienced in the army, Pegg said. “It gets your mind off life,” he said. “Two hours a night where you’re out and nothing else matters.” At a time of rising public awareness about mental-health issues in the military, nonconventional forms of treating trauma, including combat sports, are gaining more attention, said retired Col. Elspeth Ritchie, the chief clinical officer at the District of Columbia’s Department of Mental Health. “They don’t like to go

to a therapist and talk about what happened, and traditional methods focus on talking about what happened,” she said. “For some young men, some of these alternative methods are a very good way to go.” The Veterans A d m i n i s t r a t i o n ’s Chalmers P. Wylie Ambulatory Care Center in Columbus recently began offering programs combining meditation, yoga and tai-chi, said Dr. Kathy Cable, a recreational therapist at the hospital. The center also works with the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department to offer adaptive sports programs for injured veterans, an initiative gaining steam across the country, she said.

HARAPAN, A male Sumatran rhino, sniffs the air Wednesday at the Cincinnati Zoo in Cincinnati. His sister, Suci, is kept in an area next to his. With the global population of Sumatran rhinos plunging at an alarming rate, Cincinnati Zoo experts who have some success with captive breeding are trying something they admit is a desperation effort — bringing back the brother of a female rhino in hopes they will mate.

Ohio zoo tries to mate rhino siblings Dan Sewell Associated Press

CINCINNATI (AP) — With the survival of a species on the line, Cincinnati Zoo scientists are hoping to mate their lone female Sumatran rhino with her little brother. The desperation breeding effort with the rhino siblings follows a recent crisis summit in Singapore where conservationists concluded as few as 100 of the two-horned, hairy rhinos might remain in their native southeast Asia. The species numbers have fallen by up to 90 percent since the mid-1980s as development takes away habitat space and poachers hunt them for their prized horns. Rhinos overall are dwindling globally, and the Sumatran species descended from Ice Age woolly rhinos is one of the most critically

endangered. The Cincinnati Zoo has been a pioneer in captive breeding of the rhino species, producing the first three born in captivity in modern times. Its conservationists this month brought back the youngest, 6-yearold Harapan, from the Los Angeles Zoo and soon will try to have him mate with the zoo’s female — his biological sister — 8-year-old Suci. “We absolutely need more calves for the population as a whole; we have to produce as many as we can as quickly as we can,” said Terri Roth, who heads the zoo’s Center for Research of Endangered Wildlife. “The population is in sharp decline and there’s a lot of urgency around getting her pregnant.” Critics of captive breeding programs say they often

do more harm than good and can create animals less likely to survive in the wild. Inbreeding increases the possibility of bad genetic combinations for offspring. “We don’t like to do it, and long term, we really don’t like to do it,” Roth said, adding that the siblings’ parents were genetically diverse, which is a positive for the plan. “When your species is almost gone, you just need animals and that matters more than genes right now — these are two of the youngest, healthiest animals in the population.” The parents of the three rhinos born in Cincinnati have died, but their eldest offspring, 11-year-old Andalas, was moved to a sanctuary in Indonesia where he last year became a father after mating with a wild-born rhino there.

SUV-car crash in heavy rain kills couple BLOUNTSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — A collision between an SUV and a car in a heavy downpour has killed an eastern Indiana couple. Henry County sheriff’s deputies say the crash Saturday on U.S. 35 about 50 miles northeast of Indianapolis killed the driver of the car, 48-year-old Claude Hicks of Lynn, and his wife, 52-year-old Rhonda Jo Hicks. The (Muncie) Star Press reports three other passengers in Hicks’ car — their son, Joseph Hicks, and his chil-

dren, a 9-year-old girl and a 3-year-old boy — also were injured and remained hospitalized Sunday. Deputies say an SUV driven by 59-year-old John Petry of Kettering, Ohio, hydroplaned into the path of the car. Petry was treated at a hospital. His wife, 57-year-old Cheryl Petry, remained hospitalized Sunday. Sheriff Bruce Baker says the road is treacherous. ___

Nation/World Today in History By The Associated Press

Today is Monday, July 22, the 203rd day of 2013. There are 162 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 22, 1943, American forces led by Gen. George S. Patton captured Palermo, Sicily, during World War II. On this date: In 1587, an English colony fated to vanish under mysterious circumstances was established on Roanoke Island off North Carolina. In 1796, Cleveland, Ohio, was founded by General Moses Cleaveland. In 1893, Wellesley College professor Katharine Lee Bates visited the summit of Pikes Peak, where she was inspired to write the original version of her poem “America the Beautiful.” In 1916, a bomb went off during a Preparedness Day parade in San Francisco, killing 10 people. In 1933, American aviator Wiley Post completed the first solo flight around the world as he returned to New York’s Floyd Bennett Field after traveling for 7 days, 18 and 3/4 hours. In 1934, bank robber John Dillinger was shot to death by federal agents outside Chicago’s Biograph Theater, where he had just seen the Clark Gable movie “Manhattan Melodrama.” In 1942, the Nazis began transporting Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto to the Treblinka concentration camp. Gasoline rationing involving the use of coupons began along the Atlantic seaboard. In 1946, Jewish extremists blew up a wing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, killing 90 people. In 1963, Sonny Liston knocked out Floyd Patterson in the first round of their rematch in Las Vegas to retain the world heavyweight title. In 1975, the House of Representatives joined the Senate in voting to restore the American citizenship of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. In 1983, Samantha Smith and her parents returned home to Manchester, Maine, after completing a whirlwind tour of the Soviet Union. In 2011, Anders Breivik (AHN’-durs BRAY’-vihk) massacred 69 people at a Norwegian island youth retreat after detonating a bomb in nearby Oslo that killed eight others in the nation’s worst violence since World War II. Ten years ago: Saddam Hussein’s sons Odai (ohDAY’) and Qusai (ku-SAY’) were killed when U.S. forces stormed a villa in Mosul (MOH’-sul), Iraq. Months after her prisonerof-war ordeal, U.S. Army Pfc. Jessica Lynch returned home to a hero’s welcome in Elizabeth, W.Va.

Pentagon chief can’t offer hope in budget cuts Lara Jakes

AP National Security Writer

JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — The audience gasped in surprise and gave a few low whistles as Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel delivered the news that furloughs, which have forced a 20 percent pay cut on most of the military’s civilian workforce, probably will continue next year, and it might get worse. “Those are the facts of life,” Hagel told about 300 Defense Department employees, most of them middle-aged civilians, last week at an Air Force reception hall on a military base in Charleston. Future layoffs also are possible for the department’s civilian workforce of more than 800,000 employees, Hagel said, if Congress fails to stem the cuts in the next budget year, which starts Oct. 1. On the heels of the depart-

‘Mermaid’ banned from pool LITHIA, Fla. (AP) — A Florida woman has been banned from swimming in her community’s pool because she wants to wear a mermaid tail. Jenna Conti, who lives in the FishHawk Ranch subdivision, had been in the Aquatic Club pool with her custommade tail once before with the staff’s approval. But last week, employees told her it violated a policy against swim fins. On Monday night, the FishHawk Community Development board voted to keep her out of the pool because of the swim fin policy. The Tampa Bay Times reports that Conti’s dream is to swim at the Florida Aquarium, which features mermaid performers. The full-time hair stylist hasn’t been a mermaid for very long. She and her 10-year-old son saw the mermaids at the Tampa Bay Renaissance Fair earlier this year, and she says she was “enthralled.”

ment’s first furlough day, and in three days of visits with members of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps, Hagel played the unenviable role of messenger to a frustrated and fearful workforce coping with the inevitability of a spending squeeze at the end of more than a decade of constant and costly war. The fiscal crunch also lays bare the politically unpopular, if perhaps necessary, need to bring runaway military costs in line with most of the rest of the American public that has struggled economically for years. “Everybody’s bracing for the impact,” Army Master Sgt. Trey Corrales said after Hagel spoke with soldiers during a quick stop at Fort Bragg, N.C. Corrales’ wife, a military civilian employee, is among those furloughed, and they have cancelled their cable TV and started carpooling to work to save money. “The effects of the economy have started to hit the military,”

Corrales said. “It was late in coming to us.” The furloughs have hit about 650,000 civilian employees but also have slowed health care and other services for the uniformed military, which has stopped some training missions and faces equipment shortages due to the budget shortfalls. Troops were told this month they will no longer receive extra pay for deployments to 18 former global hot spots no longer considered danger zones. Troops already are facing force reductions, and the Army alone has announced plans to trim its ranks by 80,000 over the next five years. Officials agree that the military has undergone cycles of expanding and shrinking of the force over generations. Hagel said this time is different, and worse, however, because of what he described as a “very dark cloud” of uncertainty hanging over the Pentagon as Congress considers

whether to reverse $52 billion in spending cuts that are set to go into effect in 2014. At the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Fla., Hagel told an estimated 100 civilians gathered in a bustling jet maintenance hangar that the military had not been prepared for the $37 billion in cuts that took effect this year, forcing the furloughs. While he said he was deeply sorry for the strain the crunch has put on families, he said he would not slash troops’ training or other readiness budgets any further to prevent huge gaps in national security. “I’m sure you realize how disruptive the furlough is to our productivity. So I’m hoping that we’re not going to do it again next year,” Elizabeth Nealin, a research and engineering manager at the navy base’s fleet readiness center, told Hagel. “Have you planned for a reduction in force?” Nealin asked bluntly.

House GOP on health care: For repeal, not replace David Espo

A SAND sculpture that resembles Pope Francis sits on Copacabana beach, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Sunday. Pope Francis, the 76-year-old Argentine who became the church’s first pontiff from the Americas in March, will return Monday to the embrace of Latin America to preside over the Roman Catholic Church’s World Youth Day festival.

Pope’s Brazil trip spurs security, protest worries Bradley Brooks and Jenny Barchfield Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Since taking the helm of the world’s biggest church in March, Pope Francis has waded into massive crowds with minimal protection to hug children and wash the feet of the faithful. He has surrounded himself with everyday worshippers at every turn, winning acclaim that he’s breaking down barriers between the Vatican and the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics. Yet for Brazilian security officials charged with protecting the 76-year-old pontiff with the common touch, his seven-day visit this week is an uncommon security challenge. In his first international

trip as pope, Francis has built much of his schedule in the world’s biggest Catholic country around high-profile events that send him straight into unpredictable, potentially chaotic environments — without the protection of the bulletproof popemobile used by his two predecessors. On Thursday, the pope will visit a tiny chapel founded in 1971 in the Varginha slum, one of Rio’s more than 1,000 hillside shantytowns. Many such slums cower under the control of dangerous drug gangs or deadly militias made up mostly of former and current police and firefighters. Police invaded Varginha in January to clear out traffickers, but the gangs remain a shadowy presence there. The next day, Francis

will hit Copacabana beach to walk the Stations of the Cross among an expected 1 million young Catholics gathered for World Youth Day festivities. Vatican officials have said he’ll travel to the beach past thousands of devotees in an open-topped vehicle, a plan that would put the thousands of police and soldiers dispatched to protect the pope on high alert and require more plainclothes security. Brazil’s justice and defense ministers, along with a top army commander, urged the pope to use an armored popemobile instead, but the Vatican has responded that Francis likes to jump in and out of his vehicle to greet the faithful, which wouldn’t be possible in the more protected vehicle.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Three years after campaigning on a vow to “repeal and replace” President Barack Obama’s health care law, House Republicans have yet to advance an alternative for the system they have voted more than three dozen times to abolish in whole or in part. Officially, the effort is “in progress” — and has been since Jan. 19, 2011, according to GOP.gov, a leadership-run website. But internal divisions, disagreement about political tactics and Obama’s 2012 re-election add up to uncertainty over whether Republicans will vote on a plan of their own before the 2014 elections, or if not by then, perhaps before the president leaves office, more than six years after the original promise. Sixteen months before those elections, some Republicans cite no need to offer an alternative. “I don’t think it’s a matter of what we put on the floor right now,” said Rep. Greg Walden of Oregon, who heads the party’s campaign committee. He added that what is important is “trying to delay Obamacare.” Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan, who leads a committee with jurisdiction over health care, said, “If we are successful in ultimately repealing this legislation, then yes, we will have a replacement bill ready to come back with.” Divisions were evident earlier this year, when legislation to make it easier for high-risk individuals to purchase coverage died without a vote. It was sidetracked after conservatives, many of them elected with tea party support, objected to any attempt to improve the current law rather than scuttle it. With the rank and file growing more conservative, some Republicans acknowledge that without changes, they likely couldn’t pass the alternative measure they backed when Democrats won approval for Obama’s bill in 2010. Among other provisions, it encouraged employers to sign up their workers for health insurance automatically, so that employees would have to “opt out” of coverage if they didn’t want it, and provided federal money for state-run high-risk pools for individuals and for reinsurance in the small group market.

Mich. governor front, center in Detroit bankruptcy David Eggert

DETROIT (AP) — Seven governors came and went during the decades-long decay of Michigan’s largest city that culminated with a humiliating collapse into financial ruin. It’s the eighth, former business executive and relative political novice Rick Snyder, who is aggressively tying his legacy to the prospects of a Detroit turn-

around. When he took office, Snyder pushed for more powers for the state to intervene in distressed cities and schools. After voters repealed the law last November, he ignored critics and signed another one. He also hired the city’s turnaround specialist and, nearly four months later, blessed the request to file for bankruptcy. For the man with the “one tough nerd” moniker, it’s the latest bold decision in a 2 ½-year

stretch that’s remarkable for the sheer breadth and pace at which Snyder has moved. He’s again in the national spotlight just a half-year after making Michigan — the bastion of the auto industry and organized labor — a right-to-work state, a move that pollsters say led a drop in his approval ratings. Though the impact of the bankruptcy filing on Snyder’s 2014 re-election may be difficult to predict, it’s still a legacy definer that’s being watched not

only in Michigan but also by Wall Street and other elected officials across the country. Snyder, a former venture capitalist and computer company CEO, has no known presidential aspirations. “I don’t spend time dwelling on my legacy. I just try to do my job well,” the Republican governor told The Associated Press in an interview. “That’s relentless positive action. No blame, no credit. Just simply solve the problem.

Pioneering reporter Helen Thomas aged into legend Calvin Woodward Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Covering 10 presidents over five decades, Helen Thomas aged into a legend. She was the only reporter with her name inscribed on a chair in the White House briefing room — her own front row seat to history. Starting as a copy girl in 1943, when women were considered unfit for serious reporting, Thomas rose to bureau chief. Working at a news service, where writers expect obscurity, she became one of journalism’s most recognized faces. Thomas embraced her role as a Washington institution, doing cameos in movies, giving lectures, writing books about her life until the spotlight landed on inflammatory remarks she made about Israel. The uproar pushed her out of the

White House press room at age 89. Thomas, 92, died surrounded by family and friends at her Washington apartment on Saturday, the family said in a statement. A friend, Muriel Dobbin, told The Associated Press that Thomas had been ill for a long time, and in and out of the hospital before coming home Thursday. Thomas made her name as a bulldog for United Press International in the great wire-service rivalries of old, and as a pioneer for women in journalism. She was persistent to the point of badgering. One White House press secretary described her questioning as “torture” — and he was one of her fans. In her later years, her refusal to conceal her strong opinions, even when posing questions to a president, and her public hostility toward Israel caused discomfort among colleagues.

IN THIS Feb. 25, 2009, file photo veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas listens as White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs answers her question during his daily press briefing in Washington. Thomas, the irrepressible White House correspondent who used her center, front row seat of history to grill 10 presidents, died Saturday at the age of 92. She pushed open the doors for women at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, when at her urging, President John F. Kennedy refused to attend the 1962 dinner unless it was open to women for the first time. Thomas fought, too, for a more open presidency, resisting all moves by a succession of administrations to restrict press access. “People will never know how hard it is to get information,” she told an interviewer, “especially if it’s locked up behind official doors where, if politicians had their way, they’d stamp TOP SECRET on the color of the walls.”

Divorce is traumatic for the children DR. WALLACE: I’m 16 and caught in the middle of my parents’ divorce. My parents were divorced four months ago, and I’m living with my mother. She is terribly upset because of the divorce and hates my father with a passion. My father has visitation rights, and I spend two weekends a month at his house. When I’m with him, he is very nice and kind, and I love him very much. He never says anything bad about my mother. All he asks me is how she’s doing. But when I return home after visiting my father, my mother is very cool toward me and starts telling me how much she hates “that man” and how she hopes I’ll stop visiting him. She then unloads on what a rotten, no-good individual my dad is. I love my mother and understand she’s going

through a very difficult time, but I want to continue having my father play an important role in my life. I don’t know if I can continue to put up with Mom’s ranting and raving for another two years until I go away to college. Any advice will be appreciated. —Worried, Talladega, Ala. W O R R I E D : Unfortunately, divorce is as traumatic for the children as it is for the parents. You are facing a time of great difficulty right now, just as your mother is, but clearly you have your priorities in order. You know you want to maintain a loving relationship with your father, and so you shall. Eventually, your mother’s anger will calm down, and she’ll stop attacking your father. Until that happens, you’ll just have to be patient with her. Don’t defend your dad when Mom goes off on

Your horoscope FRANCIS DRAKE What kind of day will Wednesday be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Wednesday, July 24, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) If you’re not sure what to do about something today, do nothing. Many people feel indecisive and unsure about things. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) When relating to others, especially in a group, you might feel confused. Or you might feel that others are confused. This is a hot tip to refrain from making important decisions. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) If you’re not clear what bosses and authority figures expect from you, tell them. Conversely, make sure they are clear about your expectations. It’s easy to be confused today. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be careful you don’t fall for clever rhetoric related to politics, religion or any other issue. If you think someone is stringing you a line, he or she probably is. Trust your gut instincts.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a poor day to make important decisions about how to share inheritances, divide shared property or deal with mortgages and loans. Things are too fuzzy. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) In discussion with partners and close friends, you might not know what others expect from you. And probably, they are equally confused. Be aware of this. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) At work today, be clear in all your communications with others. Assume nothing. If you think something is fuzzy or people are unsure, go back and clarify things again. You might want to postpone important decisions. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Although things are vague and confusing today, you might be in touch with your inner muse and full of creative ideas! Your powers of visualization are good. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a poor day for important family discussions, because nothing will be truly settled. However it’s easy to sympathize with someone else’s problems.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might spend a lot of time daydreaming today or otherwise being lost in fantasy. Just accept this and go with it. It is what it is. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a poor day to make important financial decisions, because you might not have all the facts or you might have erroneous facts. In fact, confusion is rampant today. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might second-guess yourself and feel indecisive today. Don’t worry; a lot of people feel like that today. Tomorrow is a strong day for important decisions and decisive actions. YOU BORN TODAY You are daring and courageous, in part, because you want life to be exciting! To create a stimulating life, you will risk a lot. Everything is dramatic. Inexplicably, you magnetize others to you. (And you are aware of the image you create in your world.) This year will be an exciting year for you, because it’s the beginning of a fresh, new cycle. Open any door!

feet daily. Let your shoes “air out” at least a day or two in between wearings. When purchasing shoes, look for ones that breathe, meaning they have mesh areas that allow air in. Otherwise, spray your feet with an antiperspirant/deodorant, or sprinkle with one of my favorites — baking soda. You also can sprinkle a little baking soda in your shoes to keep them fresh. Do not do this on shoes made of real leather. Does your laundry have an odor? Add 1/2 cup of baking soda to the rinse cycle to remove. — Heloise

Nashville Night coming to Sidney Theatre

Quick reads Gleason named high school scholar ATLANTA, Ga. — The National Society of High School Scholars has announced that Lehman Catholic High School student Grant Gleason, of Sidney, has been selected to become a member.

BBBS logs donation The Versailles Foundation has recently donated $1,500 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County. This funding will be used to support the after-school Buddies program that is offered in Versailles schools.

Raise the Roof for the Arts will present Scarletta in concert at 8 p.m. at the Historic Sidney Theatre, 126 E. Poplar St. The Greg Burroughs Band will open. Tickets cost $21.50 and are available at www.brownpapertickets.com or 498-1921. Currently serving military members and veterans can get free tickets at www.vettix.org. What sets country music apart from every other genre is its ability to tell a story. What sets Scarletta apart from every other band is the fateful way in which it all came together. It is truly a case of a band that was meant to be. Lead singer Aubrey Collins, fiddle player Nathan Stoops, and guitarist Benji Harris found each other in Nashville. Scarletta has surrounded themselves with a team of industry professionals. The band has signed a publishing deal with RPM Music Group, and is being produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Blake Chancey. The band is co-managed by Rusty Harmon (Hootie and the Blowfish) and Scott Siman of RPM Management (Tim McGraw). Scarletta recently performed for the NASCAR race in Daytona and taped an episode for NASCAR Outdoors. The show will air on the Outdoor Channel on Thursday at 9:30 p.m. It will re-air Friday at 11 p.m. and July 31 at 11 a.m. Lead singer Collins was touring by age 16. She followed her rock’n’roll heart to Los Angeles from Denver, but could not deny the call of her country soul. She moved to Nashville in 2007 to replace Heidi Newfield in the commercially successful band, Trick Pony. Collins decided to leave the group to pursue other opportuni-

ties and soon after met Stoops and Harris. Prior to joining Scarletta, Northwest Ohio native Stoops was a classical violinist. He first picked up the violin at 7 and became a member of the Hillsdale College Orchestra at the age of 14. Stoops attended Hillsdale College as a music major and became the school’s first freshman concert master in 10 years. While still in college, he was offered a position with a professional symphony orchestra and remained there for one year. During this time, he discovered a love for country music. “Unlike classical music, which I still love, country has allowed me to branch out into other aspects

of music, such as singing and songwriting,” Stoops said. Since moving to Nashville, Stoops has toured nationally and overseas with Aaron Tippin and Chris Cagle. In season 10 of American Idol, he was the featured fiddle player on five episodes. Texas born and raised, Harris began singing and playing guitar when he was 12, long before he came to Nashville for an internship at a studio on music row. That first taste of Nashville was all he needed. He soon moved to town and found success as a bandleader, background vocalist, and session musician for up-andcoming artists. During a session in 2009, he met Stoops and the chemistry was undeniable. The group just finished recording an EP with Chancey and is in the process of shopping for a record deal. “They have everything it takes in this day and age,” said Chancey, “musical chops, great vocals, amazing harmonies, and fantastic songs. They are the next great personalities in country music.” The Greg Burroughs Band is also based in Nashville. With frontman Burroughs’ crafty and mature songwriting and longtime collaborator John Kingsley’s multiinstrumental versatility, the group is able to achieve a wide range of sonic and creative textures while maintaining an exciting and edgy country rock sound. Originally from Lebanon, Burroughs met Kingsley, an Atlanta native, while they were students at Berklee College of Music in Boston.

ROACH: If the instructions for a medication say to take with food, does it matter whether the medication is taken before, during or after a meal? I am taking Excedrin on an empty stomach in the morning and afternoon, about half an hour before eating. Can this be damaging to the stomach? — D. ANSWER: Taking medication with food is done for different reasons. In the case of Excedrin, or any aspirin-containing medication, having food in the stomach when the medicine is taken can prevent damage to the lining of the stomach. As long as the medication is taken immediately before eating, that is OK, too. I wouldn’t recommend waiting a half-hour. Other medications have different food requirements. For example, Fosamax is not absorbed with food, so it needs to be taken on an empty stomach.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I’ve been diagnosed with stage IV, inoperable, incurable pancreatic cancer, which has spread to my ovaries and peritoneum. I am currently undergoing chemotherapy. I’ve been told that this disease is terminal. What exactly does that mean? What is the (longest) time a person can live with this type of cancer, and why do they call it “terminal”? Recently, the PET scan showed “shrinkage” (although I still look nine months pregnant) — does this mean I am close to being cancer-free? I’m confused. — T.F.M. ANSWER: I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Physicians are not very good at predicting what will happen, even when people have extensive cancer. Pancreatic cancer is almost never cured, and when it is, it’s because it was found very early, usually when looking for something else. Once it has spread throughout the body, barring a miracle, the cancer eventually will prevail.

July 22, 1913 I.H. Thedieck announced today plans for a remodeling of his store on the north side of the public square. The remodeling program will include the installation of an electric passenger elevator. The main floor is to be entirely re-floored and many departments completely changed. The basement and second and third floors of the building will also be remodeled. Thedieck’s Department Store is the largest department store in a city of the size of Sidney in the United States. Mr. Thedieck, who was born in Alhousen, Germany in 1855, came to the United States at the age of 16. He started in business in Sidney on September 18, 1875. Lee Steenrod was considerably injured while threshing for Harley Strayer on the John Scott farm southwest of Sidney this morning. While attempting to throw on a belt his clothes caught. The bone of his right arm near the shoulder was broken and he was considerably scratched and bruised. He is reported improved this afternoon.

July 22, 1938 At the regular meeting of city council held last evening, the matter of the erection of a new city building and the installation of a sewage disposal plant for the city were discussed at some length. Supporters of both projects spoke at length during the session. Mayor Sexauer, in addressing council, explained that he had appointed a citizens’ committee and it was upon their recommendation that the construction of a city building was placed before the disposal plant. William Quinn expressed the opinion that if it was not possible to do both projects at this time, a poll of the electors should be taken in an effort to determine which was preferred. Council members agreed this was an excellent means of obtaining public opinion. This poll will be taken during the next few days under the supervision of Mayor Sexauer and Mr. Quinn. It is a coincidence

that Prof. Bernard M. Wagner, a native of Sidney and a researcher and teacher of English literature at Georgetown U n i v e r s i t y , Washington, D.C. has discovered several unpublished poems written by Sir Phillip Sidney, for whom his home town was given its name. The Sidney Public Library has a reprint of Mr. Wagner’s article which appeared in the late issue of “The Publication of the Modern Language Association of America.” The poems were discovered by Mr. Wagner while doing work on literature by Sir Phillip Sidney.

Odds and ends DULUTH, Minn. (AP) — Three elderly sisters and their sister-in-law are sharing their common life experiences once again after being reunited at a Duluth care center. At 91 years young, Florence Strom, is the baby among the sisters. Dorothy Wotczak is 101 and sister Lillian Lund is 104. Their sisterin-law, Theresa Anderson, is 93. The sisters are again living under one roof. They’re sharing stories and enjoying each other’s company at St. Eliguis Health Center in Duluth. Wotczak tells WDIO-TV that the sisters share memories of dance halls they would frequent on Friday, Saturday and sometimes Sunday. Strom says the women were very close growing up and had a lot of fun. Yes, Strom says they had their disagreements, but they always knew they shared a family bond and loved each other.

Kindelin shoots 63 Sunday to win 1st County Open title Ken Barhorst

kbarhorst@civitasmedia.com

Phil Mickelson had nothing on Luke Kindelin Sunday. While Mickelson was charging from behind to win the British Open Sunday morning, Kindelin was doing the same thing at the Moose Golf Course Sunday afternoon, earning him his first Shelby County Open championship. Kindelin, of Anna and a member of the men’s golf team at Otterbein University, was looking up at five other golfers after the first round was complete at Shelby Oaks on Saturday. He shot a 73 to trail Nate Fridley, Hugh Roach and Barry Godown, all with 71, and Ben Thieman and Mike New, both with 72. But he still felt confident going into Sunday’s final round at the tight Moose course. The 19-year-old had two eagles (twice on No. 6), one bogey and four birdies in his round on Sunday, and wound up with 63. That was good enough to win over a strong field by just a single stroke over Fridley, who shot a 66 Sunday. Hugh Roach and Brad Goffena tied for third with 140, and Goffena nearly equalled Kindelin’s round Sunday, shooting a 64. In all, there were seven sub-par rounds Sunday at the Moose, which is par-70. The first flight again began the tournament at Shelby Oaks on Saturday, but had to wait out the heavy rains that hit the area before finishing up and getting back on schedule. Kindelin had just finished the front nine at the Oaks in 1-over. “I just finished nine holes and tapped in,” said Kindelin, who works at Shelby Oaks during the summer. “It really wasn’t too much different after the rain. The courses were both dry so I think they just soaked up the rain. I went back out there (Saturday) and played the same golf. I didn’t play my best on the front nine, but I came back even par on the back nine, and was two shots back. I knew I had a chance, so I was pretty happy. “I actually missed a tap-in on four, and a couple two- or three-footers, so I left a few strokes out there,” he added about Saturday’s round. “But I was still happy with my round. I knew they were all good players ahead of me, but I was right there.” He mastered the No. 6 hole

Luke Kindelin of Anna charged back on Sunday at the Moose Golf Course to win his first Shelby County Open golf championship Sunday. He shot a 63 Sunday to come from two strokes behind to win by one.

Ashley Ordean of Fort Loramie left the rest of the field in her wake Saturday in capturing her first Shelby County Ladies Open golf championship. She shot an 80 to win by 12 strokes.

at the Moose for a pair of eagles Sunday. He set himself up beautifully on that hole, hitting driver over the creek and leaving himself shots of 120 yards to the hole on the first and 97 yards on the second. “I played the Moose three times this summer… it’s just the Moose. That’s kinda how we all go at it,” he said. “I know there are a lot of birdie chances out there. I played some holes safe. I just really knew not to make a mistake. I played really consistent and didn’t make too many mistakes. And I made the putts I needed to make and didn’t miss any little puts or anything like that. I made the ones I needed and that’s what kept me confident. And he said he “had no clue” how anybody else in first flight

was doing. “I didn’t know and I didn’t ask,” he said. “I just kinda kept playing hole-by-hole and shotby-shot. I want to play my best golf and see how it worked out. Because no matter how I finished, I had fun. This tournament is always a good time.” It was his fourth time playing in the County Open, and he’s dreamed of winning it. “Yeah, I’ve always wanted to win this tournament, and get my name up there,” he said. Kindelin,who played in the nationals last spring with Otterbein, seemed to feel even better about his win considering the competition. It wasn’t a case of anybody else losing the title. Rather, Kindelin won it with his best round of golf ever. “I definitely came back,”

he said. “I earned it. Nate (Fridley) played well. I know Brad Goffena shot 64 today, and there were a bunch of good golfers. It was a really good tournament. I know Nate is hungry for this tournament. I know he’s always wanted to win it and was really going after it, and I think people, after a while, finally learned how to play this course and make a bunch of birdies. “I knew I had a chance. I definitely did,” he said. “I came in with nothing to lose. I was an underdog and just went after it. And I played smart, consistent and just played good golf.” Meanwhile, second flight honors went to Brian Hewitt, who shot a 79 at the Moose and a 76 at the Oaks Sunday. And he wanted to make sure to give credit where he says credit is due. “I want to credit Craig Seving,” Hewitt said of the longtime assistant pro at Shelby Oaks. “And thank him for all the time he’s spent with me on the practice green and the driving range. I couldn’t have done any of this without his help.” The third-flight champion was Anna High School freshman-to-be Zach Watren with a 164. Ordean wins in first Open try The Ladies Shelby County Open was also decided this weekend, with an 18-hole tournament Saturday at Shelby Oaks. Fort Loramie High School golfer Ashley Ordean, who will be a senior, emerged as the champion, shooting an 80 on the strength of a 37 on the front nine. She was clearly the top golfer in the 12-player field, winning by 12 strokes over runner-up Melissa Henderson. It was the first time Ordean had ever entered the Ladies open, and her title comes on the heels of another Fort Loramie golfer, Brooke Albers, winning it last year. “I’d never shot that well,” Ordean said of her front nine score. “I always go out during the week and I always shoot around 38 or 39. But not that low.” Her 43 on the back nine was a solid round, but she was hoping for one less stroke. “I didn’t want to go over 42 because that would have given me my first round ever in the 70s,” she said.

Sidney Daily News, Monday, July 22, 2013

Career round gives Mickelson his first British Open crown GULLANE, Scotland (AP) — One of the greatest final rounds in a major. Two of the best shots he ever struck with a 3-wood. The third leg of the Grand Slam. Phil Mickelson never imagined any of this happening at the British Open. No wonder he never took his hand off the base of that silver claret jug as he talked about the best Sunday he ever had at a major. Five shots out of the lead, Mickelson blew past Tiger Woods, caught up to Lee Westwood and Masters champion Adam Scott, and won golf’s oldest championship with the lowest final round in his 80 majors. With four birdies over the last six holes, Mickelson closed with a 5-under 66 for a threeshot win over Henrik Stenson. No longer is he mystified by links golf, and he has his name etched in that jug to prove it. “This is such an accomplishment for me because I just never knew if I’d be able to develop the game to play links golf effectively,” Mickelson said. “To play the best round arguably of my career, to putt better than I’ve ever putted, to shoot the round of my life … it feels amazing to win the claret jug.” Introduced as the “champion golfer of the year,” he held the oldest trophy in golf over his head to show it off to one side of the massive grandstand lining the 18th green at Muirfield, and then the other. An hour earlier, they gave the 43-yearold Mickelson the loudest ovation of the week as he walked up the final fairway. He drained an 8-foot birdie putt and thrust his arms in the air, hugged caddie Jim “Bones” Mackay and whispered to him, “I did it.” After signing for the lowest final round ever at Muirfield, Mickelson huddled with his wife and three children — back from a quick holiday to Spain — for a long embrace and waited for the others to finish. Westwood, who started the day with a two-shot lead, fell behind for the first time all day with a bogey on the par-3 13th hole and never recovered, closing with a 75. Scott took the outright lead with a 4-foot birdie on the 11th, and then closed as sloppily as he did last year when he threw away the Open at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. He made four straight bogeys starting at the 13th, and a final bogey on

the 18th gave him a 72. At least he has a green jacket from the Master to console him. Woods, in his best position to win a major since the crisis in his personal life, stumbled badly on his way to a 74 and was never a serious challenger. “We know that he goes for broke, and if that’s how he was feeling and pulling it off, he’s got the ability to do that,” Scott said about Mickelson. “And he’s gone and won an Open easily. So every credit to him.” At the end of a rough-andtumble week along the Firth of Forth, Mickelson was the only player under par at 3-under 283. In his four other majors — three Masters and one PGA Championship — he had never started the final round more than one shot behind. “I don’t care either way how I got this trophy — I got it,” Mickelson said. “And it just so happened to be with one of the best rounds of my career, which is really the way I’ve played my entire career. I’ve always tried to go out and get it. I don’t want anybody to hand it to me. I want to go out and get it. And today, I did.” Westwood, whose only other 54-hole lead in a major ended with Mickelson winning the Masters, paid tribute to Lefty for what will go down as one of the great closing rounds in a major.

“When you birdie four of the last six of a round any day, that’s good going,” Westwood said. “With a decent breeze blowing and some tough flags out there, it’s obviously a pretty good experience. When you do it in a major championship, it’s an even better experience.” But this major? Phil Mickelson? He had only contended twice in two decades at golf’s oldest championship. One week after he won the Scottish Open in a playoff on the linksstyled course of Castle Stuart, Mickelson was simply magical on the back nine of a brown, brittle Muirfield course that hasn’t played this tough since 1966. Tied for the lead, Mickelson smashed a 3-wood onto the green at the par-5 17th to about 25 feet for a two-putt birdie, and finished in style with a 10-foot birdie putt on the 18th to match the lowest score of this championship. “Those two 3-woods were the two best shots of the week, to get it on that green,” Mickelson said. “As I was walking up to the green, that was when I realized that this is very much my championship in my control. And I was getting a little emotional. I had to kind of take a second to slow down my walk and try to regain composure.” Mickelson figured a par on the 18th would be tough for

anyone to catch him. When the ball dropped in the center of the cup, he raised both arms in the air to celebrate his fifth career major, tying him with the likes of Seve Ballesteros and Byron Nelson. “Best round I’ve ever seen him play,” said his caddie, Jim “Bones” Mackay. His final surge was right about the time Westwood and Scott began to fold. Scott, trying to join an exclusive list of players who have won a green jacket and a claret jug in the same year, made a remarkable recovery from the dunes right of the par-3 13th hole, only to miss the 7-foot par putt. He took three putts for bogeys on the next two holes — from long range on the 14th, and from 20 feet on the 15th — and found a bunker on the next. Westwood started to lose his grip on the jug with bogeys on the seventh and eighth, and failing to birdie the downwind, par-5 ninth. Presented with birdie chances early on the back nine, his putting stroke began to look tentative. Westwood and Scott tied for third with Ian Poulter, who played a four-hole stretch in 5-under around the turn and closed with a 67. At 1-over 285, he canceled a flight home in case of a playoff. Moments later, with Mickelson pulling away, the outcome was clear.

Jack Nicklaus said on Twitter, “Phil’s round was incredible. After his bad break on 16 and to then get up and down showed a lot of guts. And the two great shots at 17 ended the tournament.” Making this even sweeter for Mickelson is that just one month ago he lost out on yet another chance to win the U.S. Open, the missing link of a career Grand Slam. Mickelson twice made bogey with wedge in his hand on the back nine at Merion and had his record sixth runner-up finish. Woods, Nicklaus, Gary Player, Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen are the only players to win all four professional majors. Mickelson figured it would be the British Open that would hold him back. Now he has the jug, and he never took his hand off it during his press conference. “I think that if I’m able to win the U.S. Open and complete the career Grand Slam, I think that that’s the sign of the complete, great player,” Mickelson said. “And I’m a leg away. And it’s been a tough leg for me.” For now, Mickelson takes his place among an elite list of winners at Muirfield, which is considered the fairest of the links on the British Open rotation. All but two of the Open champions at Muirfield are in the World Hall of Fame. Mickelson is the only winner who already has been inducted. It was the 43rd win of his PGA Tour career. The guy who once couldn’t win the big one now has five majors in the last nine years. This one returns him to No. 2 in the world ranking for the first time in nearly three years. Woods, meanwhile, now has gone 17 majors without winning, and that pursuit of Nicklaus and his benchmark of 18 majors — Woods is stuck on 14 — doesn’t look any closer. He three-putted twice in four holes at the start of the round and looked like just another contender on this Sunday. He attributed his poor day to not getting the right pace on the greens, which he said were progressively slower. “I felt like I was really playing well today, actually the whole week, ” said Woods, who has not broken 70 in the final round of his last seven majors. “I really hit so many good shots and really had control of my ball this week. As I said, it was just trying to get the speed, and I just didn’t get it.”

Indians whip Minnesota 7-1 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Justin Masterson had no regrets about the pitch that cost him his chance at a no-hitter. Masterson took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning, Michael Brantley hit a bases-loaded triple and the Cleveland Indians beat the Minnesota Twins 7-1 on Sunday to avoid a threegame sweep. Masterson (11-7) had faced the minimum through six, allowing only a hit batter, when Brian Dozier led off the seventh with a broken-bat blooper to center field that dunked in under the glove of a sliding Drew Stubbs for a double. That not only ended Masterson’s attempt at making history, it briefly halted what had been a quick, decisive trip through the Twins’ lineup. Cleveland catcher Carlos Santana immediately went to the mound to check on the big righthander. “He said, ‘Maybe we should have started him off

with a slider.’ I said, ‘No, we wanted to challenge guys,’” Masterson said. “That’s what we do. I don’t care if we have no hits or 100 hits, you still have to challenge guys. “Broken bat? That’s what you want. It falls in, but in my mind I get so many balls put in play I’m like, something’s going to happen. There’s going to be a hit sometime. So let’s just make sure when it does happen, we stay in our game and make sure it doesn’t have a trickle-down effect,” he added. Besides, by then the Indians were leading 6-0. “I thought what he did was good enough,” manager Terry Francona said. The Indians led 3-0 on Mike Aviles’ sacrifice fly and two-run homer by Jason Kipnis when they loaded the bases with one out in the fifth on a walk to Kipnis and consecutive singles by Nick Swisher and Carlos Santana off starter Scott Diamond (5-9).

Trucks bang into one another during their portion of the demolition derby at the Shelby County Fair on Sunday. There was also competitionin the big cars as wellas the mini-cars and mini-trucks.

Demolition derby held at fairgrounds The annual Shelby County Fair’s demolition derby was held Sunday night at the fairgrounds in front of the grandstands, after crews worked for hours on Saturday to drain off some of the water from the heavy rains that fell. After a huge dropoff in the number of entrants for the demo derby in the past few years, race organizers were hoping for a much bigger turnout this year. And while the numbers were up a little, there still

weren’t enough big cars to include heat races that were such a part of the derby in the past. Still, there were 12 big cars in the event, along with seven fullsized trucks, two mini-trucks and three mini-cars for a total of 24 vehicles. And they put on their usual good show, with the big-car winner being Mike Davis of Oran. “It didn’t go too bad,” said one of the organizers, Darren Gates. “The track was pretty muddy from all

the rain Saturday and it was still a little wet Sunday. But we had Rick Howell from Botkins out there with his bobcat and Chris Gillespie did a great job for us with his dozer, getting the track ready. And the guys their to tow the cars. All things considered, everything went pretty smooth.” He said there were derby drivers from Celina, Urbana, Covington and Troy in the field.

If you have any of the above, there are effective treatment options, covered by insurances.

Cincinnati Reds’ Homer Bailey. left, talks with third base coach Chris Speier (35) in the fifth inning of a baseball game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Sunday in Cincinnati. Bailey hit a sacrifice bunt in the at-bat.

Pirates salvage final game from Reds, 3-2

who have stayed in contention despite injuries in the rotation. Shin-Soo Choo’s infield single in the first inning extended his hitting streak to a career-high 15 games. Locke walked a pair and threw a wild pitch that let in a run in the fifth inning. He lowered his ERA to 2.11. “What did he leave with, one hit?” manager Clint Hurdle said. “That’s good stuff.” The Reds got another run in the eighth when Joey Votto grounded into a double play with the bases loaded against Mark Melancon, ending the reliever’s streak of 15 scoreless innings. It was Cincinnati’s best chance to pull off the threegame sweep. “It hurts when you have opportunities like that,” manager Dusty Baker said. “You hope you’re going to blow it open.” First baseman Gaby Sanchez, a late defensive replacement, started the double play, with Melancon covering first to take the relay and finish it. “That’s as good a double play as we’ve made all year in a tight situation,” Hurdle said. Pittsburgh scored twice in the seventh on Jordy Mercer’s single and Jose Tabata’s pinch-hit single off Bailey, who threw 121 pitches. NOTES: The Pirates continue their 10-game trip with the first of four games in Washington. The Reds begin an 11-game trip to San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego. They’re in a stretch of playing 18 of 21 on the road. … Bailey fanned 10 during his nohitter in Pittsburgh and nine during his no-hitter against the Giants. … The Reds plan to call up RHP Greg Reynolds from Triple-A Louisville to start one of their doubleheader games in San Francisco on Tuesday. Reynolds, a California native who played at Stanford, started 16 games for Colorado in 2008 and 2011.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Jeff Locke broke into a grin before taking any questions. “Happy to be back,” the left-hander said. No one’s happier than the Pittsburgh Pirates, who used their formula from a highly successful first half — great pitching, just enough scoring — to salvage the final game of their series with Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. Locke allowed only an infield single through six innings of a 3-2 victory. Second-place Pittsburgh left town with a threegame cushion over the NL Central-rival Reds, who won the first two games. “There’s still a lot of games left, but to get this final game is big,” said Garrett Jones, who homered off Homer Bailey. “Every game matters.” Locke (9-2) and the majors’ second-stingiest bullpen limited the Reds to three singles, but issued seven walks and let a run score on a wild pitch. Jason Grilli worked the ninth for his 30th save in 31 chances. His only blown save came in Cincinnati on June 19. Locke had to miss his last scheduled start and couldn’t pitch in the AllStar game because of a sore back. There were no problems when he got back on the mound. “The back was great,” Locke said. Bailey (5-9) struck out a career-high 12 but remained winless since his no-hitter against San Francisco at Great American Ball Park this month. Jones hit his second homer in two games, and the Pirates added a pair of runs in the seventh. “That was the best I’ve ever seen Bailey,” Jones said. “His velocity was up, his cutter was nasty and he was hitting his spots well.” The Pirates hit six homers during the series, all solo shots. It underscored their main concern as trade talks intensify: Can they score enough runs to make the playoffs? “I’m just one of the pieces that need to pick it up,” said Jones, who has 10 homers after hitting a career-high 27 last year. “I had a slow first half and this is the time to hit and be productive and help your team win.” The Ohio River rivals don’t meet again until September, when they play each other six times in the last nine games. Both hope they have a lot at stake when they get back together — the Reds trying for a second straight NL Central title, the Pirates trying to end their 20-year streak of losing records and reach the postseason for the first time since 1992. They came away from their weekend series bunched a bit closer in their chase of division-leading St. Louis. Bailey threw the first of his two no-hitters last Sept. 28 in Pittsburgh, a 1-0 win over a team he has dominated during his career. He threw his second no-hitter on July 2. Since then, he’s started three games — two on the road — and gone 0-3 with a 5.50 ERA. Locke’s performance was encouraging for the Pirates,

Words To Know Frontier Settlement Ambush Woodsman Hunting

Where did Daniel Boone grow up?

-Daniel likely never attended school. He learned to read and write at home. However, he enjoyed reading and often took books with him on the trail.

Daniel grew up in a Quaker home in Pennsylvania. His father was a farmer and he had eleven brothers and sisters. Daniel worked hard on his father’s farm. He was chopping wood by the time he was five years old and was taking care of his father’s cows by the time he was ten.

-When Daniel was still just fourteen years old, he spotted bear tracks near his father’s herd. He tracked the bear down and killed his first bear.

Daniel loved the outdoors. He would do anything not to be cooped up inside. While watching his father’s cowherd, he would hunt small game and learn to find their tracks in the woods. He also became friends with the local Delaware Indians. They taught him a lot about surviving in the woods including tracking, trapping, and hunting. Daniel soon began to dress like

-Boone’s rifle was given the nickname the “Ticklicker” because it was said that he could shoot the tick off of a bear’s nose.

the Indians.

American explorer and frontiersman Daniel Boone was born on November 2, 1734, in a log cabin in Exeter Township, near Reading, Pennsylvania. His father, Squire Boone, was a blacksmith and a weaver who met his wife, Sarah Morgan, in Pennsylvania after emigrating from England. Daniel, the couple’s sixth child, received little formal education. Boone learned how to read and write from his mother, and his father taught him wilderness survival skills. Boone was given his first rifle when he was 12 years old. He quickly proved himself a talented woodsman and hunter, boldly shooting his first bear when most children his age were too frightened. At age 15, Boone moved with his family to Rowan County, North Carolina, on the Yadkin River, where he started his own hunting business. In 1755, Boone left home on a military expedition that was part of the French and Indian War. He served as a wagoner for Brigadier General Edward Braddock during his army’s calamitous defeat at Turtle Creek, near modern-day Pittsburgh. A skilled survivor, Daniel Boone saved his own life by escaping the French and Indian ambush on horseback. In August 1756, Boone wed Rebecca Bryan, and the couple set up stakes in the Yadkin Valley. The couple would bear six children. At first Boone found himself content with what he described as the perfect ingredients to a happy life: “A good gun, a good horse and a good wife.” But adventure stories Boone had heard from a teamster while on march ignited Boone’s interest in exploring the American frontier. In 1767, Daniel Boone led his own expedition for the first time. The hunting trip along the Big Sandy River in Kentucky worked its way westward as far as Floyd County.In May 1769, Boone led another expedition with John Finley, the teamster Boone had marched with during the French and Indian War, and four other men. Under Boone’s leadership, the team of explorers discovered a trail to the far west though the Cumberland Gap. The trail would become the means by which the public would access the frontier. Boone took his discovery a step further in April 1775. While working for Richard Henderson’s Transylvania Company, he directed colonists to an area in Kentucky he named Boonesborough, where he set up fort to claim the settlement from the Indians. That same year he brought his own family west to live on the settlement and became its leader. Local Shawnee and Cherokee tribes met Boone’s settlement of the Kentucky land with resistance. In July 1776, the tribes kidnapped Boone’s daughter Jemima. Luckily, he was able to release his daughter. The next year, Boone was shot in the ankle during an Indian attack, but eventually recovered. When 1778 rolled around, Boone was himself captured by the Shawnee. He managed to escape and resume protecting his land settlement, but was soon robbed of Boonesborough settlers’ money while on his way to buy land permits. The settlers were furious with Boone and demanded he repay his debt to them; some even sued. By 1788, Boone left the Kentucky settlement he had worked so hard to protect and relocated to Point Pleasant, in what is now West Virginia. After serving as lieutenant colonel and legislative delegate of his county there, Boone pulled up stakes again and moved to Missouri, where he continued to hunt for the remainder of his life.

- One of his nicknames was the Great Pathfinder. In 1784 a book was written about Daniel called The Adventures of Col. Daniel Boon. It made him a folk hero (even though his last name was spelled wrong).

Getting Married

Daniel returned to North Carolina and married a girl named Rebecca. They would have 10 Children together. Daniel met a man named John Findley who told him about a land west of the Appalacian Mountians called Kentucky, which he would soon explore.

Fun Project! Log Cabin

Boone lived in a log cabin and famously built his secluded home far from other settlers. Make a simple log cabin by cutting off the top of a 1- or 2-liter milk carton so there are only 5 inches of carton. Cut off the very top of the carton that is glued together, then cover the cut area with tape to make it look like the roof of a cabin. Cut several 12-inch pieces of newspaper. Wrap them around a pencil and secure them with a little glue at the end, then remove the pencil and allow to dry. These will be your logs. Paint each with brown paint, then allow to dry. Glue each “log” to the sides of the milk carton, trimming if needed. Your log cabin is now complete, unless you wish to further embellish it by adding windows or doors made of construction paper and glued to the cabin.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Tuesday, July 23, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Expect a wonderful, playful month ahead. Flirtations, romantic escapades, parties, picnics, sports events and delightful times with children will rock your world. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) For the next six weeks, your attention will turn to home and family. Discussions with a parent could be significant. Redecorating projects are likely. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Fasten your seatbelt! In the month ahead, your daily pace will accelerate. Short trips, shopping, conversations with others, busy errands and increased reading and writing will keep you hopping. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Money, money, money! This will be your focus in the coming month, because finances, cash flow and earnings suddenly are foremost in your mind. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) The Sun is in your sign now to stay for a month, giving you a chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. It also will attract people and favorable circumstances to you. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Work alone or behind the scenes for the next few weeks to plan what you want your coming year to be all about. (Your personal year is ending, because your birthday is a month away.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) The next six weeks are popular! Accept all invitations. Enjoy schmoozing with others. Join classes, clubs and associations. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is the only time all year when the Sun will be slowly crossing the top of your chart. This acts like a spotlight on you; furthermore, the light is flattering. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You are the traveler of the zodiac. In the next six weeks, grab every opportunity to go somewhere because you need a change of scenery. You want adventure! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Mortgages, loans and shared property will be a strong focus for you in the next month. You also might have to deal with the values of others (which differ from yours). AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Because the Sun is as far away from you as it gets all year, and the Sun is your source of energy, you will need more sleep in the next month. Respect this need. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) In the next six weeks, you're gung-ho to get better organized. Give yourself the right tools to do a great job. After all, you want good results, don't you? YOU BORN TODAY Basically, you're a traditionalist with conservative roots. However, at times, you're not sure; you vacillate. You love history. One other thing is certain: You are compassionate and kind. Life is such that you often retreat into a protective shell. This year you might give up something you've been involved with for nine years in order to make room for something new. Birthdate of: Philip Seymour Hoffman, actor; Paul Wesley, actor; Michelle Williams, singer.

Dirt on conservation: Trees do more than provide shade Gail Prunty Under the shelter of my porch, I watched as a gray squirrel corralled her three babies up a maple tree. The expression “like herding cats” came to mind, and I smiled at mama’s dedication and instinctual commitment to protect her young. Within minutes, they scrambled up high into the maple’s branches and the family disappeared into the clump of leaves that served as their nest. It was just in time. Seconds later, a thunderstorm crashed through releasing colossal quantities of water onto the unsuspecting woodlot. Yet the squirrel family stayed safe and dry beneath the green umbrella of the maple tree’s canopy. Retain the rain At some time in our lives, most of us have also retreated to the trees for the protection of their leaves and branches, attempting to dodge the drops when rain showers took us by surprise. Indeed the canopy created by trees is incredibly effective

at slowing the rate of rainfall, stopping drops “in their tracks,” and reducing the impacts of a hard rain. While we appreciate trees for their shelter and their shade (among countless other benefits), rarely do we quantify the value that trees give us in this capacity. Often overlooked is the fact that trees also ensure cleaner water! More and more, however, the critical role of trees in storm water management (and municipal budgets) is soaking in. Trees: At your service Aside from keeping you dry in a sudden downpour, the collective action of tree leaves, branches, bark, and roots retains large volumes of water and provides amazing services. The tree’s “magic” works in the following ways: • The leaves intercept and slow rainfall and also store and release water into the atmosphere through evapotranspiration. • The roots increase infiltration and storage, reduce erosion by holding soil in place, and take up nutrients and pollutants from the soil and water.

• The leaf litter builds healthy soil, increases the soil’s water-holding capacity, and helps replenish groundwater. Show me the money While it is easy to place a monetary value on tree products, calculating the environmental benefits and ecosystem services that trees provide is much more challenging. Fortunately, the U.S. Forest Service and many major partners have developed a stateof-the-art software suite that quantifies the structure of community trees and their environmental services. Known as i-Tree, these tools enable users to easily and accurately find the dollar value of the benefits provided by urban trees and offer research-based guidance. The i-Tree tools provide calculations on a species with consideration to many variables including seasonal conditions, storm durations, and geography. To determine the annual benefits and storm water gallons retained by one of your trees, just enter the tree species, zip code, and diameter into the

Conservation in the county

benefits calculator (see www. treebenefits.com/calculator/). Depending on the tree species and size, a single tree can store 100 gallons of rainfall or more, until it becomes saturated after one to two inch rain event. That sugar maple tree where the squirrels live, for example, has a diameter of only 12 inches but can intercept as much as 1,100 gallons of storm water every year. Now zoom out from that single tree and multiply all of the trees in a community… and the amount

of rainwater captured and filtered increases significantly. In fact, an urban forest can reduce annual runoff by an estimated 2 to 7 percent. Studies have shown that when trees are combined with other natural landscaping like native plants, the amount of storm water runoff in residential developments decreases by 65 percent. Drop by drop retention amounts to significant dollar savings when trees are incorporated into community storm water management. The reduction of water running through our storm drains and ditches after a storm results in less expensive infrastructure needed in our communities and ultimately cleaner water reaching our rivers and lakes. Branch out Make this your year to “branch out” by learning more about trees in your yard and around you.

Farm Credit honors long-time members “Heritage Farm Program” recognizes local farm families VERSAILLES — As a sign of its commitment to supporting farming families in rural America, Farm Credit Mid-America is honoring member families who have supported the national Farm Credit System for more than half a century. The winners from the Versailles Office were Karnehm Farm of Conover and Shoup Farms of Versailles. Recognition in the Heritage Farm Program is open to current members of Farm Credit who have been a member of the Farm Credit System for at least 50 consecu-

tive years through their immediate family, parents or grandparents. Families who qualify are honored at their local Farm Credit office’s customer appreciation event with a special plaque and heirloom hope chest. The awards were presented on July 10 at the Versaillescustomer appreciation event held at St. Remy Hall in Russia. This year, Farm Credit will honor 64 farm families for their hard work and support over the years. This will be the seventh year for the Heritage Farm Program, which has recognized

more than 450 inductees in its run. This year’s inductees include: • Karnehm Farm (Bob and Norma Karnehm) of Conover. Bob and Norma are 50-year Farm Credit customers. With the purchase of their first hay baler and market steers in 1952, the Karnehms have only grown their farming heritage. With their six sons, the Karnehms run an 800-acre farm consisting of corn, wheat, soybeans and several market beef cattle. Bob and Norma are both very active in the community serving as 4-H advis-

ers for 55 years. Bob is a past president of the Cattleman’s Association and currently serves as vice president. • Shoup Farms (Carl and Mary Shoup) of Versailles. Carl and Mary have been married for 53 years and raised four children. The Shoup’s 50-year operation consists of 950 acres of row crops. They also raise cattle and hogs. Besides farming, the Shoups have been involved in several activities within the community and very much enjoy supporting the local school’s sporting activities. Carl has served on the Miami County Fair Board for 33 years. “The Heritage Farm Program is another example

of Farm Credit’s appreciation of our customers,” said Amy Studebaker, regional vice president with Farm Credit in west central Ohio. “We are very proud of the families who have supported Farm Credit and the cooperative system. As a 97-year-old farming cooperative, we value tradition and recognize the important role long-term member families have played in the success of this cooperative and the preservation of this nation’s proud agricultural heritage.” For anyone who may be eligible for the Heritage Farm Program, applications and additional information can be found online at www.e-farmcredit.com under the “Community” tab. All completed applica-

tions must be submitted to your local Farm Credit office before March 31. Contact your local office at 800-444-3276 with additional questions.
