Firefighters rescue three dogs from burning house Firefighters rescued three dogs from a burning house Saturday night after a woman escaped from the home. Firefighters were dispatched to 615 Michigan St. at 9:21 p.m. on a report of a structure fire with possible victims, according to a news release issued by Cameron Haller, assistant chief of the Sidney Department of Fire and Emergency Services. On arrival, firefighters found there was a fire in the kitchen of the single-family home. The blaze was confined to the kitchen. Firefighters entered the structure for search and fireattack operations.

The occupant, Donna Elsass, told firefighters that she was first alerted to the fire by sounds coming from downstairs. She was able to escape on her own. Elsass was not injured and was outside the structure when firefighters arrived. The home did not have a working smoke detector. Haller said the fire department recommends that all homes have working smoke detectors. Firefighters rescued three pet dogs. Two of the dogs were revived with oxygen and recovered at the scene. Deputy Cami Frey, Shelby County

Cool breeze bids fair farewell Mike Seffrin As the final day of the 2013 Shelby County Fair began, rain was falling. But by early afternoon, the sun was out and a cool breeze was blowing across the fairgrounds, allowing the fair to finish under favorable weather. Tim Everett, president of the Shelby County Agricultural Society (Fair Board), was pleased with the weather during fair week, and with this year’s event overall. “It started out a little warm,� Everett said, recalling the fair’s opening July 21, and rain fell Monday and Saturday. But other than that, the weather was good. “It was the nicest stretch of weather we’ve had in a long time.� Everett also was happy with the public response to the fair. Tuesday, which featured

the popular Carload Night, attracted large crowds. He said 237 vehicles entered that night and 3,000 wristbands were sold. (On Carload Night, everyone who can fit in a vehicle is admitted to the fair and rides for $30 per car.) Adding to the crowds that day were steer and swine shows, he said. On the final day of the fair, $9,630 in single-day admission tickets were sold from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Barb Heilers, Fair Board treasurer said. At $9 each, that amounts to 1,070 people. Heilers said it will be some time before admission figures for the entire fair week are calculated. Fairgoers apparently liked the amusement rides this year. “We got a lot of compliments on the rides,� Everett said. Mr. Speed, a KISS tribute band, drew a

large audience Friday night. “The KISS band last night went over big,� Everett said. Everett depends on many people to help him run the fair. Those people stepped up this year when he and Jerry Schaffner, Fair Board secretary, both were absent because of illness either during the week before the fair or during part of fair week. Everett cited Mitch Brautigam, Fair Board vice president, and Chris Roediger, fairgrounds maintenance supervisor, as among those who helped during their absences. At this point, Everett doesn’t anticipate major changes in next year’s fair. But planning for that event will begin soon. “We’ll start next month’s (Fair Board) meeting talking about next year,� he said.

Records broken at livestock sale Kathy Leese and Mike Seffrin In spite of the rain and chilly weather that dampened Saturday morning’s activities, the 2013 livestock sales brought out a large crowd to support Shelby County 4-H and FFA youths who were showing their livestock. Several sales records were broken. Thirteen-year-old Tyler Zimpfer, the son of Ted and Molly Zimpfer, of Anna, was happy when his grand champion steer sold for $12,600 — a record price. In 2012, the grand champion brought a record price of $11,000. Tyler, who will be a seventh-grader at Anna Middle School this year, said after the sale that he was “excited.� He wanted to thank everyone who purchased his steer. “Thank you for supporting the fair and buying my steer.� Thirtysix individuals and businesses purchased his steer. Even though he had to say goodbye to his steer, he said, “I know I’m going to get a new steer next year.� His mother

‘Pre-meetings’ challenged as evading Ohio law CINCINNATI (AP) – The University of Cincinnati board of trustees is the latest public body to raises questions by holding private discussions ahead of officially open meetings. Board chairman Fran Barrett says the discussions are informational and meant to prepare trustees for their meeting. The Cincinnati Enquirer reported that comments in open meetings indicate trustees have been going over university business beforehand. One example cited came in February during official discussion of expanding the UC Bearcats’ campus football stadium, with two trustees indicating they had already established approval for paying for design work, before the public meeting.

Betty Lou Bevans Betty Lou Bevans, 85, 3003 W. Cisco Road, passed away Saturday, July 27, 2013, at 9:50 p.m. at the Dorothy Love Retirement Community. She was born on Dec. 5, 1927, in Sidney, the daughter of the late Jesse and Edna (Stahler) Bryan. On June 19, 1954, she married Lavern C. (Lefty) Bevans. Lefty died March 16, 2005. They had three children, Michael Bevans, and wife, Sandra, of Leesburg, Fla., Susan King, and husband, Mark, of Sidney, and the late Steven Bevans, and his wife, Kathy, of Sidney, who survives.

Betty worked at the United Telephone Co. in Sidney for more than 20 years in the business office and enjoyed many friendships with the people she worked with. When Betty retired, her “girls” at the office gave her a book on genealogy. That started her passion with genealogy. She and Lefty liked to travel in the United States and in their travels researched a lot of family history. They joined the Shelby County Genealogical Society where Betty became the secretary and helped with the research and publication of numerous books. The Genealogical Society prints a newsletter, “Shelbyanna,” that Betty was very involved with. Betty and Lefty were both honored with awards

from the Shelby County Genealogical Society for their work and dedication. Betty moved back into town after Lefty’s death to a house she dearly loved. Her neighbors were very kind and looked out for her. She could sit out in her sunroom to look out at the pretty yards and watch the children next door play. When anyone visited with her, it always made her day. Betty and Lefty graduated from Sidney High School with the Class of 1945. They were on the class reunion committees. Friendships with their classmates continued throughout the years. The Class of 1945 was a very important part of their lives. Betty was a Cub Scout den mother for several years back in the 1950s. Mike and Steve wanted to be in the scouts, so Mom signed up. She enjoyed

those times with all the boys in her scout troop. Mom was always lending a hand or ear to whomever needed it. She did a lot for people and our family. Mom was truly a sweetheart.

A final farewell to a fallen hero Nancy Kline

nkline@civitasmedia.com

WAYNESFIELD — Staff Sgt. Sonny C. Zimmerman always had a desire to serve his country, even from the age of 3. Considered as a hometown hero, his family, friends and neighbors gave him a final farewell Saturday morning. More than 500 people turned out to give a final farewell to Zimmerman during his memorial service Saturday morning at Waynesfield Goshen High School. Many more turned out along the procession route from the school to Walnut Hill Cemetery near New Hampshire, waving flags, saluting or holding their hand over their hearts. Zimmerman, 25, was killed July 16 in Afghanistan as a result of injuries suffered when his mounted patrol was attacked by a rocket-propelled grenade. Ladder trucks held a flag over the entrance to the parking lot of the school. Local

Veterans of Foreign Wars members stood at attention outside the building. Inside the school family and friends signed banners thanking Zimmerman for his service. The gym was full as the remains of Zimmerman were wheeled in by members of the military, followed by his family. Sixty-four members of the Ohio Patriot Guard marched in to give a final salute to what their leader described as a “true American hero.” “He was a born leader and a selfless leader,” said Brig. Gen. Mark R. Stammer. “Fully prepared to give everything for his family, his country and the men he was determined to bring home.” Stammer went on to remind everyone that we live in a perilous time. “Just like Staff Sgt. Zimmerman, we will not relent,” Stammer said. Chaplain Brian C. Fruchey described Zimmerman as an outstanding soldier who loved

the military and loved the army. “He always said, ‘I gotta make sure my guys make it through,’ ” Fruchey said. “He always put himself last.” Fruchey told about a June 3 incident when Zimmerman was injured but continued to make sure of his platoon’s security without regard to his own wounds. This including helping

two injured members of his platoon. Zimmerman was awarded the Bronze Star with V Device, recognizing this act of heroism. Three days later, Zimmerman was asking to be returned to his platoon despite having suffered a concussion and receiving shrapnel in his right side. “He stayed to take care of

his guys,” Fruchey said. “He wanted to make sure you guys came home.” He was also awarded the Purple Heart. The Rev. Kathleen Hayes said Zimmerman’s father, Chris, said Zimmerman always “raved how his guys were the best.” “We are all so proud of him,” Chris Zimmerman told Hayes. She remembered his bright engaging smile and always sharing his time. “He had a desire to serve his country, even from age 3,” Hayes said. Flags flanked the entire route from the school to the cemetery. At the cemetery, members of the Wapakoneta VFW and the U.S. Army Honor Guard, and The Cincinnati Emerald Society Pipes and Drums gave military honors to Zimmerman. Zimmerman left behind a wife, the former Morgan McGhee, who survives in Lima, and a daughter, Riley McVicker.

Amanda Berry surprises Cleveland concert crowd

CLEVELAND (AP) — One of three women held captive in a Cleveland home for a decade made her first public appearance at a concert featuring the rapper Nelly a day after her abductor pleaded guilty to kidnap and rape charges. Amanda Berry showed up at the daylong RoverFest concert in Cleveland on Saturday night, walking on stage with her family and waving at the cheering crowd. Wearing sunglasses and dressed in jeans and a black T-shirt, Berry smiled broadly while acknowledging the applause, but she didn’t address the crowd. Nelly called Berry back to the stage after his music set.

The appearance came a day after Ariel Castro, a former school bus driver, pleaded guilty to 937 counts in a deal that will send him to prison for life without parole, plus 1,000 years. Berry, now 27, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight disappeared between 2002 and 2004 when they were 16, 14 and 20 years old. They escaped in May when Berry kicked out part of a door and called to neighbors for help. Shane French, the host of the syndicated talk radio show Rover’s Morning Glory on WMMS in Cleveland, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Sunday that he was surprised when

Berry showed up at the annual festival. French, who goes by the name Rover on radio, said he had issued an impromptu invitation on his show a few weeks ago but didn’t know she was listening. “I just said that she had 10 years of partying to make up for and she should come,” French said. He said he was surprised when security guards told him Berry had arrived. French said Berry at first refused to go on stage but then agreed and asked if he would go with her. “She didn’t say why she decided to come, but some of her family members told me they listen to my show every day

and had been to RoverFest in the past,” French said. He said a couple of the women with Berry cried, overcome by the crowd’s cheers for Berry. “I didn’t see her cry, but I think she was pretty overwhelmed by the response that the crowd gave her,” he said of Berry. “She just seemed to be having a great time.” French said he hasn’t invited her to appear on his radio show. “I figured that when she want to tell her story, she’ll make the arrangements, and it would have been pointless to even ask,” French said.

She was happy about winning reserve grand champion steer. “I was happy. Happy that my last year I won reserve.”

Sommer, who sprinkled glitter on her steer, wanted to thank those who purchased her steer. “Thank you for buying my steers over the years.” “Actually, I’ve been crying like all day,” Sommer said about giving up her steer. “I’ve been doing it since I was in about the fourth grade or fifth grade”

Nation/World Today in History By The Associated Press

Today is Monday, July 29, the 210th day of 2013. There are 155 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 29, 1981, Britain’s Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. (However, the couple divorced in 1996.) On this date: In 1030, the patron saint of Norway, King Olaf II, was killed in battle. In 1588, the English attacked the Spanish Armada in the Battle of Gravelines, resulting in an English victory. In 1890, artist Vincent van Gogh, 37, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Auvers-surOise, France. In 1900, Italian King Humbert I was assassinated by an anarchist; he was succeeded by his son, Victor Emmanuel III. In 1921, Adolf Hitler became the leader (“fuehrer”) of the National Socialist German Workers Party. In 1948, Britain’s King George VI opened the Olympic Games in London. In 1957, the International Atomic Energy Agency was established. Jack Paar made his debut as host of NBC’s “Tonight Show.” In 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act, creating NASA. In 1967, an accidental rocket launch aboard the supercarrier USS Forrestal in the Gulf of Tonkin resulted in a fire and explosions that killed 134 servicemen. In 1975, President Gerald R. Ford became the first U.S. president to visit the site of the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz in Poland. In 1980, a state funeral was held in Cairo, Egypt, for the deposed Shah of Iran, who had died two days earlier at age 60. In 1993, the Israeli Supreme Court acquitted retired Ohio autoworker John Demjanjuk of being Nazi death camp guard “Ivan the Terrible” and threw out his death sentence; Demjanjuk was set free. Ten years ago: President George W. Bush refused to release a congressional report on possible links between Saudi Arabian officials and the September 11 hijackers, saying disclosure “would help the enemy” by revealing intelligence sources and methods. Boston’s Bill Mueller became the first player in major league history to hit grand slams from both sides of the plate in a game and connected for three homers in a 14-7 win at Texas. Five years ago: Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens was indicted on seven felony counts of concealing more than a quarter of a million dollars in house renovations and gifts from a powerful oil contractor. (A jury later found the longtime Republican lawmaker guilty of lying on financial disclosure forms, but a judge subsequently dismissed the case, saying prosecutors had withheld evidence.) Disgraced ex-NBA official Tim Donaghy admitted that he’d brought shame on his profession as a federal judge sentenced him to 15 months behind bars for a gambling scandal. Army scientist Bruce E. Ivins, 62, named as a top suspect in anthrax mailing attacks in 2001, died at a hospital in Frederick, Md., after deliberately overdosing on Tylenol.

Out of the Blue

Trashed ticket is $1M winner N O R T H ATTLEBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts couple has won $1 million on a scratch-off lottery ticket they dug out of the trash after inadvertently throwing it away. The state lottery commission says Joseph and Joanne Zagami of North Attleborough bought the $5 ticket from a vending machine while grocery shopping. They stuck the ticket in a bag and forgot about it. The next day, Joseph Zagami asked his wife if she had scratched the ticket. She hadn’t. They dug through the trash and found it. The couple claimed their prize Wednesday, opting for the one-time lump sum payment of $650,000 before taxes and $455,000 after. They plan to pay off their mortgage and other bills and take a vacation. To get the full amount they would have needed to claim the prize over 20 years.

AP Impact: Some ankle bracelet alarms go unchecked David B. and Nicholas Riccardi Associated Press

Three decades after they were introduced as a crimefighting tool, electronic ankle bracelets used to track an offender’s whereabouts have proliferated so much that officials are struggling to handle an avalanche of monitoring alerts that are often nothing more sinister than a dead battery, lost satellite contact or someone arriving home late from work. Amid all that white noise, alarms are going unchecked, sometimes on defendants now accused of new crimes. Some agencies don’t have clear protocols on how to handle the multitude of alerts, or don’t always follow them. At times, officials took days to act, if they noticed at all, when criminals tampered with their bracelets or broke a curfew. “I think the perception … is that these people are being watched 24 hours a day by someone in a command center. That’s just not happening,” said Rob Bains, director of court services for Florida’s Ninth Judicial Circuit Court, which this spring halted its monitoring programs after

two people on the devices were accused in separate shootings. At least 100,000 sex offenders, parolees and people free on bail or probation wear ankle bracelets that can sound an alarm if they leave home without permission, fail to show up for work or linger near a playground or school. To assess these monitoring programs, The Associated Press queried a sample of corrections, parole and probation agencies across the U.S. for alarms logged in a one-month period and for figures regarding the number of people monitored and the number of officers watching them. The AP also reviewed audits, state and federal reports and studies done of several of these programs, which detailed problems that included officers failing to investigate alarms or take action when offenders racked up multiple violations. Twenty-one agencies that responded to the AP inquiry logged 256,408 alarms for 26,343 offenders in the month of April alone. It adds up for those doing the monitoring. The 230 parole officers with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice handled

944 alerts per day in April. The Delaware Department of Correction, which has 31 field officers, handled 514 alarms per day. “When we first introduced this technology … officers thought they were just going to go play golf for the day,” said Jock Waldo, a spokesman for Boulder, Colo.-based BI Inc., which produces about half the bracelets used in the U.S. However, the devices require scrutiny of the vast amount of data they produce, Waldo said. Sorting through alerts, and deciding which are serious enough to merit a rapid response, can be fraught with peril. In Syracuse, N.Y., federal probation agents wary of alarms caused by things such as lost satellite signals asked a monitoring company to contact them only if an alert lasted more than five minutes. Agents tracking child-porn suspect David Renz then missed 46 alerts in nine weeks, including one generated when he removed his bracelet in March. He then raped a 10-year-old girl and killed her mother. Renz pleaded guilty to those charges July 17.

Ohio bracelet monitoring system not centralized Andrew Welsh-Huggins Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s programs for monitoring offenders with electronic bracelets are divided between a small state effort for about 1,000 inmates and county-by-county systems for an unspecified number of individuals. Attempts to create a centralized system haven’t been discussed, but there might be merit to the idea, said Sara Andrews, director of the state’s Adult Parole Authority, a division of the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. Many of the devices for Ohio offenders convicted of nonviolent crimes such as theft are passive, meaning someone has to fail to check in before an alert is sent. Other systems can send immediate alerts for more serious offenders that trigger search notices for authorities. In January in Columbus, a 15-year-old boy was charged with a juvenile delinquency count of murder after authorities said he shot and killed another 15-yearold while violating conditions of his electronic monitoring. Two days before the killing, a warrant had been issued for Jesean Callender’s arrest for being out of range several times earlier in the month.

U.S. announces resumption of Mideast talks Karin Laub Associated Press

JERUSALEM (AP) — The U.S. on Sunday announced the resumption of IsraeliPalestinian talks following years of stalemate, after Israel’s Cabinet agreed to release 104 Palestinian prisoners convicted of deadly attacks. The return to direct contacts between the sides gave U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry his first concrete achievement after months of shuttle diplomacy. The U.S. said preliminary talks would begin Monday, but it remains unclear whether they will lead to a formal resumption of peace talks that broke down in 2008. Despite a return to the table, neither side appeared upbeat. Each has blamed the other for the lack of success in 20 years of negotiations interrupted by bouts of violence. Earlier Sunday, the Israeli Cabinet voted 13-7, with two abstentions, to approve in principle the release of 104 Palestinian prisoners. The release is a key part of the Kerry-brokered deal to restart peace talks. The State Department said Kerry called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas after the Cabinet vote and invited them to send teams to Washington. State Department spokeswoman Jan Psaki said the teams would meet Monday and Tuesday to “develop a procedural plan for how the parties can proceed with the negotiations in the coming months.” Talks on a final peace deal are to last six to nine months. Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat and Abbas aide Mohammed Shtayyeh will represent the Palestinians, and Justice Minister Tzipi Livni and adviser Yitzhak Molcho will attend for Israel.

Palestinians wave national and PFLP flags during a protest in the West Bank city of Ramallah Sunday. Some two hundred supporters of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine protested against the resuming of the peace talks with Israel.

Netanyahu, seeking to overcome stiff opposition from ultra-nationalists, told his Cabinet that “resuming the political process at this time is important for Israel,” noting that any deal would be submitted to a national referendum. Erekat welcomed the vote on the prisoners as a “step toward peace,” one he said is long overdue. Negotiators made progress in previous rounds, and the outlines of a deal have emerged — a Palestinian state in most of the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem, lands captured by Israel in 1967, with border adjustments to enable Israel to annex land with a majority of nearly 600,000 settlers.

Those negotiations broke down before the sides could tackle the most explosive issues, a partition of Jerusalem and the fate of Palestinian refugees and their descendants, now several million people. Abbas remains leery of negotiating with Netanyahu, fearing any offer made by the hard-liner would fall far short of Palestinian demands, so he has insisted on a clear framework for negotiations. Abbas said over the weekend that Kerry assured him the invitation to the negotiators will say border talks are based on the 1967 line — though Netanyahu has not said whether he has dropped his long-standing opposition to that demand.

Gunman described as lonely, angry Christine Armario Associated Press

HIALEAH, Fla. (AP) — The gunman who went on a shooting rampage at his South Florida apartment building, killing six people, was a lonely man who spoke about having pent up anger, those who knew him said Sunday. Pedro Vargas, 42, lived on the fourth floor of a barren, concrete apartment complex in the Miami suburb of Hialeah with his elderly mother. He rarely spoke with others there, and confided to a man who worked out at the same gym that he liked to work out his anger by lifting weights and trying to get big. “He’d just say this was the only thing that would keep him normal, pulling out all the anger in the gym,” Jorge Bagos told The Associated Press. Bagos said the gunman expressed frus-

tration over bad experiences with women and losing all his hair from using steroids. On Friday night, Vargas set a combustible liquid on fire in his apartment, sending the unit into flames, police said. Building manager Italo Pisciotti and his wife went running toward the smoke. Vargas opened his door and shot and killed both of them, Lt. Carl Zogby, a spokesman with the Hialeah Police Department said. Vargas then went back into his apartment and began firing from his balcony. One of the shots struck and killed Carlos Javier Gavilanes, 33, who neighbors said was returning home from his son’s boxing practice. Vargas then stormed into a third-story apartment, where he shot and killed a family of three: Patricio Simono, 64, Merly Niebles, 51, and her 17-year-old daughter.

George “Bud” Day, a Medal of Honor recipient who spent 5½ years as a POW in Vietnam and was Arizona Sen. John McCain’s cellmate, has died at the age of 88, his widow said Sunday. Day, one of the nation’s most highly decorated servicemen since Gen. Douglas MacArthur and later a tireless advocate for veterans’ rights, died Saturday surrounded by family at his home in

Shalimar, after a long illness, Doris Day said. “He would have died in my arms if I could have picked him up,” she said. Day received the Medal of Honor for escaping his captors for 10 days after the aircraft he was piloting was shot down over North Vietnam. In all, he earned more than 70 medals during service in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. He was an enlisted Marine serving in the Pacific during World War II and an Air Force pilot in the Korean and

Vietnam wars. In Vietnam, he was McCain’s cellmate at one camp known as the Plantation and later in the infamous Hanoi Hilton, where he was often the highest-ranking captive. During his imprisonment, the oncemuscular, 5-foot-9 Day was hung by his arms for days, tearing them from their sockets. He was freed in 1973 — a skeletal figure of the once dashing fighter pilot. His hands and arms never functioned properly again.

Bar code bottoms out

Dear Readers: Here is this week’s Sound Off, about heavy items at the store: “Today I bought a case of bottled water that was on sale. When I went to pay for it, I had to turn it over so the cashier could scan it. I thought that the bar code should have been on the top instead of the bottom so you don’t have to turn it over. — R.A., Baytown, Texas” You are so right! Heavy and bulky items are difficult to handle. Try to leave the big items in the bottom of the cart, and ask the clerk to come around and scan them. The clerk may have to flip them over, but at least it saves you from having to pick up heavy items. — Heloise

Whether the video store you work for is part of a chain, or independently owned, there is someone to whom this manager reports who should know about his behavior. If he’s acting like that toward you, he’s probably also acting that way toward other female employees. My advice is to report his behavior to the appropriate person above the manager’s head. You, of course, also have the option of quitting, and that may be the simplest course of action. But sooner or later a person has to take a stand for what’s right.

Your horoscope BY 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 31, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be patient and careful at home, as well as when dealing with family members today. Small appliances might break down; minor breakages could occur and arguments might break out. Run for cover! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a seriously accident-prone day for your sign. Please respect this. Pay attention to everything you say and do, especially driving, walking, jogging and cycling. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Keep an eye on your money and your possessions today. You might find money; you might lose

money. Protect whatever you own against theft and loss. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your knee-jerk reaction to someone or something might get you in trouble today. Therefore, think carefully before you speak. Don’t do anything or say anything rash. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You feel restless today. Because of this, you might do things impulsively or say something without thinking. It’s as if some kind of energy is building up within you and needs to be released. (Yikes!) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Relations with others in groups will hold a few surprises. Someone might challenge you or attack you. Physical activity with groups is prone to accidents. Be careful! LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Be cautious in all your dealings with bosses, par-

ents, teachers and authority figures today, including the police. Conflict could quickly blow up into something nasty. Think before you speak. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Travel plans and schedules connected with higher education will be canceled, delayed or rescheduled today. Allow extra time for wiggle room. (Definitely.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Keep an eye on your bank accounts and all matters related to inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt and insurance. Anything could happen. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a dicey day for close relationships. Someone might explode, and it could be you. Remember: Patience is the antidote to anger. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your work routine will be interrupted by computer crashes, power outages,

fire drills, canceled appointments — whatever. Just accept this, and go with the flow. (Machinery breakdowns and accidents also are possible.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Pisces parents should be extra vigilant because today is an accident-prone day for your kids. Romance also can be upsetting! Patience and keen vigilance are your allies today — no question. YOU BORN TODAY: You are philosophically curious. You want to know what makes people tick, which is why you are intrigued by characters and their strange tales. Many of you write, teach or act because you love to share your discoveries. Most of you are driven by your work, and many are workaholics. Good news! This year can be one of the most powerful years of your life. Dream big! Birthdate of: Dean Cain, actor; B.J. Novak, actor/ screenwriter; Amanda Stepto, actress.

MARYS — The physicians and clinicians at Grand Lake Wound Care Center use leading edge therapies to reintroduce the body’s innate ability to heal chronic wounds. One state-of-the-art therapy being used to save limbs from amputation updates the folk wisdom that fresh air cures anything. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or HBO, increases the amount of oxygen to wounds allowing them to heal from the inside. Patients receiving treat-

ments watch television while relaxing on a bed encased in a large see-through plastic shell as they are surrounded by 100 percent oxygen at higherthan-normal atmospheric pressure. Under hyperbaric conditions, oxygen molecules in the patient’s red blood cells become reduced in size to more easily dissolve into the liquid portion of the blood and be transported throughout the body to speed healing. During the non-invasive procedure, the

only sensation patients experience is a slight pressure in the ears, as on an airplane, when the pressure changes. HBO treatments are used for wounds that have not responded to traditional treatments. Treatments are typically covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most insurance plans. The Center also welcomes self-referrals. The Wound Care Center is a member of the Healogics network and Healogics Chief Clinical Officer Katy Rowland

Brown warms up fairgoers on chilly night It was a chilly Wednesday night as T. Graham Brown and Moore and Moore performed during the Shelby County Fair. The crowd filled part of the free entertainment tent to hear the performers, with Moore and Moore being the opening act for T. Graham Brown. Moore and Moore are made up of twin sisters Debbie and

Moore. The sisters sang several songs, including a tune from their new CD, “Show Me Your Country.” They also sang other classic country songs and interacted with the crowd. T. Graham Brown, a country performer, sang several songs and talked with the crowd, including many who were wearing sweaters and jackets due to the

cold weather. Virginia Morris, of Sidney, said she enjoyed listening to Moore and Moore. “I liked the twins.” She also seemed to enjoy listening to Brown. Deb Greve, of Fort Loramie, also attended the concert. “It’s been pretty good.” She said she wished the concerts were held earlier in the evening though.

Indianapolis church mourns 3 who died in bus crash Ken Kusmer Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An Indianapolis congregation on Sunday mourned the deaths of their youth pastor, his pregnant wife and another member who were killed when a church bus overturned with just a mile to go in a return trip from a Michigan summer camp. Saturday’s accident devastated members of Colonial Hills Baptist Church, who had been anticipating a joyful homecoming with the 37 people who were aboard the bus. Youth pastor Chad Phelps, his pregnant piano-teacher wife, Courtney Phelps, and chaperone Tonya Weindorf were killed, said deacon Jeff Leffew. Dozens of people were injured in the crash, which happened near Interstate 465. On Sunday, six teenagers remained hospitalized, including one who was in critical condition. Dennis Maurer, a 68-year-old congregation member who was driving the church-owned bus, told authorities that its brakes failed before it struck a raised concrete median and flipped on its side,

Indianapolis police said. The Phelpses, who were in their mid20s, were expecting their second child, Leffew said. Chad Phelps was the son of the church’s senior pastor and became its youth pastor late last year, he said. “We’re going to have a long road, but God is good,” Leffew said at a Sunday news conference. The couple’s nearly 2-year-old child, Chase, was injured in the crash. He was treated and released from a hospital Saturday, IU Health spokeswoman Sally Winter said. The bus had nearly completed its 365mile journey from Camp CoBeAc, near Prudenville, Mich., when it overturned about a mile from the church, where parents were waiting to pick up their children who had just spent a week praying, zip-lining and playing basketball. Weindorf, the 51-year-old chaperone who was killed, had five children, Leffew said. “Tonya was at camp because she has a special-needs child who wanted to go, and she wanted to go and make it a good week, and according to her husband, it

was a great week, and that’s who Tonya was,” said Leffew, who sent four of his own daughter to the camp. Leffew, of Fishers, said only one of his daughters was on a second bus that pulled into the parking lot, and that he raced to the northern Indianapolis crash site. What he found was surreal — clothing and other items strewn about and windows missing from the bus. “You’re just praying that it’s not as bad as it looks,” he said Saturday. His daughters escaped with bumps and bruises. Troy Riggs, Indianapolis’ public safety director, called the crash a “great tragedy.” “They were not that far from home. … That only adds to the tragedy,” Riggs said Saturday. Duane Lloyd, who witnessed the crash, told WTHR that he saw the crash happen at about 4:15 p.m., which was about the time Chad Phelps tweeted that the group would arrive at the church. “I heard a skid. I looked back. I see this bus in the air and people falling out of the bus,” Lloyd said. “I could have gone my whole life without seeing that.”

ROACH: I’ve had a skin problem with my hands and feet for the past five years. My doctor did not know what it was. After doing some searching online, I believe I have dishydrosis. Could you please explain this condition? It doesn’t seem like much is known about it. Should I expect it to get worse over time? — K.K. ANSWER: Dishydrosis — frequently called dishidrotic eczema, but also called acute palmoplantar eczema — is a chronic inflammatory skin condition without a known cause. It causes an intensely itchy rash, usually consisting of clear, fluid-filled blisters on the hands, especially the sides of the fingers near the palm, but sometimes on the feet as well. Although warm weather can trigger relapses, I have seen it frequently in cold, dry weather, especially in people who wash their hands often. A

dermatologist usually can recognize it without needing a biopsy, but occasionally further tests are done to make sure it isn’t something else, such as a fungal infection. Treatment is usually with steroid cream (or better yet, steroid ointment). Flareups can be prevented with ointments such as Vaseline or Neutrogena Norwegian formula hand cream. These can be found at your local drugstore. READERS: The booklet on macular degeneration explains this common eye ailment.

Grandmother’s empty house needs family’s full attention DEAR ABBY: My grandmother made the decision to move to an assisted-living facility two years ago. She left most of her belongings in her farmhouse, which has sat empty since then. Her health is fine, so she should be around for many years. It has already been decided that my dad will inherit the house, but he doesn’t want to live there anytime soon because of the location. (It’s way out in the country.) I’m afraid the house is going to become unlivable if it sits for years without utilities or anyone taking care of it. Dad mows the grass, but that’s about it, and all of Grandma’s belongings are collecting dead flies. Nobody seems to care but me. Dad has three siblings, and between them there are nine grandchildren. How do I get my family to take care of Grandma’s house? — CONSCIENTIOUS IN KANSAS CITY, KAN. DEAR CONSCIENTIOUS: Your father may be inheriting the house, but is he also inheriting all of the contents? If the answer is no, there should be a family discussion about the disposition of the furniture, clothing, linens and any possible heirloom items. I agree with you that nothing good can happen to the house if no one is paying attention. It’s an invitation to theft or vandalism. The house should be cleaned and dusted. The furniture should be Dear covered with sheets to keep it as Abby free of dust as possible. Someone Abigail should check the place at least Van Buren once a month. If no one else in the family is willing to step up to the plate and help out, because you are conscientious, it looks like you’re elected. If it’s too much for you, perhaps a caretaker could be hired to watch over, or possibly live in, the house. DEAR ABBY: My son, “Joe,” is 19, a high school graduate living at home with his dad and me until he leaves for college next year. He will be paying his tuition, and we are charging him a token rent ($100/month) while he’s not in school. He eats dinner with us most nights, and I usually do his laundry. He has a part-time job. This has been working out fine except for one thing. Joe has a longtime girlfriend, and he has been spending some nights at her house. (She lives alone.) We haven’t forbidden this because he’s an adult, and I worry that if we say no he will move in with her. However, we are not comfortable with his spending nights there. Part of our objection is we don’t like the example it sets for his 13-year-old sister, but aside from that we don’t think it’s a good idea, although we can’t say why. We know they’re sexually active regardless of who sleeps where. Are we old-fashioned, or is it reasonable to ask him not to spend the whole night with his girlfriend? — OLD-SCHOOL PARENT DEAR OLD SCHOOL: Because you have misgivings about your son spending the night at his girlfriend’s, you and your husband should talk to him about it together. Although he is an adult, I agree that what’s going on sends a wrong message to his younger sister who, unless you talk to her about your family values, will think this is acceptable. You should also take time to think through why you are uneasy about what your son is doing. If it has anything to do with worry about an unplanned pregnancy, your husband might be able to get through to him better than you can. If he intends to complete his college education, becoming a father could slow him down, if not end it.

Heavy rains flood homes, roads in North Carolina CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A system of thunderstorms across western North Carolina stalled on Saturday and dumped about a foot of rain on the area, causing power outages and flash floods that swamped homes and washed out roads and bridges. There were 18 reports of swift-water rescues, and one minor injury, said Jim Dickerson, spokesman for Catawba County Emergency Services. He did not have details. Hickory Mayor Rudy Wright urged residents to stay indoors and away from flooded roads, The Charlotte Observer reported.

Hoosier Newman wins at Indy INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Ryan Newman fulfilled the childhood dream of so many who grew up in Indiana — winning at storied Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Newman, from South Bend, ended a 49-race losing streak with Sunday’s victory at the Brickyard, and he did it by beating Jimmie Johnson. Again. Newman set a NASCAR track record in knocking Johnson off the pole in qualifying, then used a fast final pit stop Sunday to snatch the win from the fourtime Indianapolis winner. The two were the class of the field — they combined to lead 118 of the 160 laps — but it was Johnson who dominated the race and appeared to be just a bit better. But Johnson pitted from the lead with 27 laps remaining and it was a slow final stop for the Hendrick Motorsports crew. Newman pitted after that and took only two tires to move into the lead after the green-flag stops cycled through the field. The closest Johnson would get to him again was when he paid a congratulatory visit to Newman in Victory Lane. Newman was remarkably composed as he took the checkered flag and in Victory Lane. “I don’t realize it yet. It’s a dream come true,” he said. “It can’t hit you all at once, it’s not good enough. It will take a week or so for it to sink in.” The victory comes as Newman is looking for a job. Stewart-Haas Racing has signed Kevin Harvick to join the team next season, and team co-owner Tony Stewart informed Newman two weeks ago he won’t be brought back in 2014. It didn’t change the post-race mood, as Stewart hustled to Victory Lane, lifted Newman from behind and the two shared a long embrace. “He just had an awesome weekend,” Stewart said. “I kept looking up the board and watching and I was scared to ask where he was at and how big of a lead he had. I didn’t want to jinx him. Just really proud of

him — he’s a great teammate and an even better friend.” Johnson, the Sprint Cup Series points leader who was hoping to tie Formula One’s Michael Schumacher as the only five-time winners in Indy history, finished 2.657 seconds behind Newman in second. “There’s definitely disappointment there, but that’s racing. It happens,” Johnson said. “We win as a team, lose as a team. There’s been some late race mistakes on my behalf that have taken race wins away from us. Granted, not a major event like this. We still ended up second. “We have a lot to be proud of over the course of the weekend. We’ll do the best to let it roll off our shoulders by tomorrow afternoon.” Kasey Kahne, Johnson’s Hendrick Motorsports teammate, was third and Stewart was fourth as Chevrolet swept the top four spots. All four cars were also powered by Hendrick Motorsports. “We had pretty good power all day long, there were several scenarios where I noticed it,” Stewart said. “That’s what you expect from Hendrick.” Matt Kenseth was fifth in a Toyota and followed by Hendrick’s Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jeff Gordon, as all four Hendrick entries landed inside the top seven. Earnhardt rallied from a loose wheel on the opening run of the race to grab his top-10 finish. “I knew it was loose,” said Earnhardt, adding it was a no-brainer to pit. “You have a wheel falling off, you have something serious happening. Come in, it’s dangerous staying out there. You can hit the wall, or wreck something, or wreck some other people. I don’t want to do that. It is a long race. We had an early chance to fix that, and that is fine. It gave us an opportunity to try some different strategies, and it worked out for us.” Joey Logano was eighth in a Ford, and followed by Juan Pablo Montoya and Kyle Busch, who picked up his first career win at the Brickyard in Saturday’s Nationwide

Los Angeles Dodgers’ Yasiel Puig takes off on his solo home run that gave the Dodgers a 1-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds in the 11th inning of a baseball game in Los Angeles.

Pitchers fan 20, but Reds lose 1-0 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Yasiel Puig homered with two outs in the 11th inning to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a 1-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. Cincinnati pitchers set a franchise record with 20 strikeouts. Puig, Adrian Gonzalez, Hanley Ramirez and Tim Federowicz each fanned three times as the Dodgers established their highest single-game total for strikeouts since the franchise moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles following the 1957 season. Puig drove an 0-1 pitch deep into the left-field pavilion against rookie Curtis Partch (0-1) for his 10th homer and 23rd RBI in 48 big league games. The excitable rookie circled the bases and slid into home plate, where teammates were waiting for him. The NL West leaders won for the 26th time in 32 games and extended their lead to 2½ games over the Arizona Diamondbacks, who lost 1-0 to San Diego.

Brandon League (6-3) pitched two hitless innings for the win. Puig’s first game-ending homer in the major leagues came after the Dodgers were held to one hit by Tony Cingrani through the first seven innings. Cingrani, facing a lineup missing leadoff hitter Carl Crawford for the second straight day because of a high temperature, tied a career high with 11 strikeouts in his 12th big league start before he was lifted for a pinch-hitter. The only hit against the 24-year-old left-hander was a two-out single through the box in the third inning by Dodgers pitcher Chris Capuano — his first hit of the season. Mark Ellis followed with a towering drive toward the left-field corner that Chris Heisey caught right in front of the short fence. Los Angeles didn’t get another baserunner until Puig walked on a full count leading off the seventh, but the rookie was picked off first base with

Gonzalez — the team’s RBI leader — at the plate. Capuano held the Reds to three hits over 6 2-3 innings. The left-hander retired 15 of his first 16 batters, less than 24 hours after teammate Hyun-Jin Ryu pitched two-hit ball over seven innings and retired his final 13 in a 4-1 victory. Joey Votto’s two-out single in the first was Cincinnati’s only hit until Devin Mesoraco snapped a string of 13 straight Cincinnati outs with a leadoff double in the sixth. Mesoraco advanced to third on Cingrani’s sacrifice bunt, and Reds manager Dusty Baker put on a suicide squeeze with Derrick Robinson at the plate. Mesoraco had to return to third after the rookie fouled off an 0-1 pitch, and was retired in a rundown after Robinson grounded out to third baseman Juan Uribe with the infield playing in. The Reds wasted another leadoff double in the seventh by Votto. NOTES: Cincinnati has

faced left-handed starters in three straight games, losing all three following a series-opening 5-2 victory against righty Zack Greinke on Thursday. The Reds are 19-19 in games started by opposing lefties. … Reds RHP Greg Reynolds, out of minor league options, was designated for assignment to make room for Cingrani on the roster. Cingrani was optioned to the minors during the AllStar break. … Ellis led off the first inning with an 11-pitch at-bat, popping up to third base after fouling off six consecutive pitches. … Votto and Shin-Soo Choo entered 1-2 in the NL in on-base percentage. The last pair of Reds players to end a season in the top two were Joe Morgan (.466) and Pete Rose (.406). … Phillips, the Reds’ cleanup hitter, was 1 for 13 with no RBIs during the fourgame series, and has driven in just two runs in his last seven games. … Ramirez singled in the 10th to reach base safely for the 36th consecutive game.

around. It was over spring break and the season had just ended, and I told Megan I couldn’t believe it was over,” said Clark. “So she said ‘you know, you can

said. “I just felt like a part of me was missing. It’s not like I was unhappy, but going to church made me feed like I was pulling myself together and getting my future together. Just made me feel better about myself, I guess.” There will be just six girls from the United States on her team, and she is the only one from Ohio. She said there will be plenty of basketball during the three days in Miami, but she also said it’s a time for the girls to learn about each other. “It’s so that when we go to Columbia, we’ll already be a family and we can share that with the kids down there,” she said. “Then we’ll do some clinics, some coaching and some playing. We’ll play some of the college teams from down

there.” She expressed appreciation for the many people who donated so she could make the trip. “We each had to a goal to raise $3,500. I didn’t have to go to big factories or anything. I had a great support system here in the community, through friends and family,” she said. “I’m excited about going. I want to leave there knowing that I left an impression on those people.” As soon as she returns, she’ll be moving to Columbus to begin work at Ohio State on her master’s degree in social work. So this trip ties in nicely with that goal. She’s come a long way in four years. She recalled saying four years ago that she was gong to attend Edison “because I’m never leaving home.”

Browns lineman Miller recovering from concussion CLEVELAND (AP) — Browns offensive lineman Ryan Miller returned to the team’s training facility on Sunday and began the NFL’s concussion protocol after being knocked unconscious during practice. Miller was rushed to the Cleveland Clinic on Saturday after his frightening injury during a routine blocking drill brought the Browns’ indoor workout to a standstill. The 6-foot-7, 320-pounder, who was released from the hospital after a few hours, will be monitored by the medical staff and must pass a series of tests before he can return to the field. Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said he visited Miller on Saturday night. Miller was taking part in oneon-one blocking drills inside the team’s indoor field house when he dropped after making contact with his helmet. He lay motionless for several minutes, and his teammates huddled around him in prayer as he was immobilized and strapped to a backboard. The

Browns initially feared Miller had suffered a devastating injury, and were relieved to learn he was responsive and moving his limbs. Browns linebacker D’Qwell Jackson said the only other time he experienced anything as scary was when former Browns kick returner Josh Cribbs was knocked out last season in Baltimore. “I’ve only witnessed it a few times and anytime that happens you just pray and just hope for the best and hope everything is OK,” said Jackson. “I’ll tell you what, it made everyone realize that at any moment anything can happen.” The Browns drafted Miller in the fifth round out of Colorado last year. He played in eight games as a rookie and is expected to begin this season in a backup role behind Pro Bowl starter Joe Thomas and Mitchell Schwartz. Cleveland has experience in dealing with concussions. Along with Cribbs, former quarterback Colt McCoy sustained a head injury at Pittsburgh two years ago that

prompted the league to change its in-game handling of concussions. NOTES: The Browns practiced in full pads — they only wore shoulder pads Saturday — for the first time during Sunday’s fourth day of training camp and a crowd of 4,466 came out to hear some popping. The team said it was a single-day attendance record in Berea. Fans were unable to see Saturday’s workout because it was moved inside by rain. … RB Montario Hardesty sat out with a hamstring injury and worked on the side with trainers. Chudzinski said Hardesty, who rushed for 272 yards last season, is day-today. … DE Desmond Bryant didn’t practice because of back spasms. He’s also day-to-day. … Tashuan Gipson, trying to win a starting job at safety, sustained a shoulder sprain after colliding with WR Josh Gordon. Chudzinski doesn’t think the injury is serious.

Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick runs backwards during practice at NFL football training camp Friday in Cincinnati.

Kirkpatrick finally gets training camp CINCINNATI (AP) — On one of the first plays of training camp, cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick found himself covering All-Pro receiver A.J. Green. The first-round draft pick was getting tested right away. Green made a move and took off down the sideline, a place that’s his domain. Kirkpatrick not only stayed with him but edged into him, breaking up the pass. This is what Cincinnati has waited a year to see. The Bengals took Kirkpatrick with the 17th overall pick last year, thinking he could grow into a starting role quickly. He hurt his left knee while working out last summer, forcing him to miss all of training camp and the first seven games. He played in five games before a concussion and more knee problems ended his season. Finally healthy, he has looked like a premier player in the opening days of training camp. “He had A.J. on the ball on the sideline,” coach Marvin Lewis said. “That guy last year would have run smack into A.J., but this time he got in great position, got A.J. cut off and turned and played the

football. “It will come back pretty quick. He understands the process, but it’s just time on task out here against real guys.” For Kirkpatrick, it’s about time. He won a national championship with Alabama, where his unlimited confidence earned him the nickname “Swagga.” He brought that confidence to the NFL, and it quickly took a hit. The knee injury sidelined him for training camp and eliminated him from the team’s plans for the beginning of the season. When he started practicing again, the knee got sore, forcing him to back off. It made for a lot of tough weeks. “It was a lot of stress and a lot of depression,” Kirkpatrick said. He got through it by talking to his father, Charles, who is a minister, and several teammates who have been through injuries. He was finally cleared and played in five games before a concussion and the knee sidelined him the rest of the way. The experience has tampered the swagger.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Ubaldo Jimenez pitched eight scoreless innings and the Cleveland Indians shut out the Texas Rangers for the second straight game in a 6-0 win on Sunday. Jason Kipnis’ two-out single in the fifth broke a scoreless tie. Yan Gomes’ RBI single and Michael Bourn’s two-run double added three runs in the sixth as the Indians, who have won four straight, completed their first three-game sweep at home over Texas since Aug. 12-14, 1980. Jimenez (8-5) allowed two hits and matched his longest outing of the season. Vinnie Pestano pitched the ninth as the Indians recorded their major league-leading 14th shutout. The Rangers, who haven’t scored in 21 innings, have lost 12 of 15. Texas has scored 36 runs and has been shut out four times in that stretch. The Rangers are 2-8 since the All-Star break. Kipnis’ single came off Alexi Ogando (4-3), who allowed one run in 4 2-3 innings. Cleveland’s sixth-inning runs came off reliever Robbie Ross. Mike Aviles added a two-run homer in the eighth. Kipnis’ first-inning single capped a 12-pitch at-bat against Ogando, who had to work around trouble in the first three innings before settling down. He retired seven straight at one point before Bourn drew a two-out walk in the fifth. Nick Swisher singled before Kipnis dropped a single in front of right fielder Nelson Cruz to score Bourn. Kipnis’ hit finished Ogando, who threw 92 pitches in his second start since coming off the disabled list. The right-hander allowed three runs in five innings on Wednesday against the Yankees. Ogando allowed six hits, walked two and struck out one. Singles by Michael Brantley and Carlos Santana started the sixth-inning rally. Gomes singled up the middle with two outs to score Brantley before Bourn drove a double to left-center for a 4-0 lead. Jimenez, who struck out six and walked three, dodged

trouble in the first when Elvis Andrus doubled with one out. Cruz followed with a walk, but Adrian Beltre bounced into a double play. Jimenez retired 10 in a row before A.J. Pierzynski singled to lead off the fifth. David Murphy walked and Jurickson Profar sacrificed but Mitch Moreland, who is hitless in his past 20 at-bats, popped out. Leonys Martin hit a hard ground ball on a 3-2 pitch to Swisher, who made a lunging stop at first base. He dropped the ball on the way to the bag, but recovered in time to record the out. Andrus has hit safely in all 37 career games against the Indians. Texas right-hander Tanner Scheppers pitched a scoreless seventh inning in his first appearance since he said he was assaulted in downtown Cleveland on Thursday night. He sustained facial cuts and bruises in the incident and was unavailable to pitch Friday. Scheppers said before Saturday’s game that he could pitch but wasn’t used. NOTES: According to STATS LLC and Elias Sports Bureau, Cleveland’s 1-0 victory Saturday marks the first time in the franchise’s 113-year history that the Indians won a game by that score thanks to leadoff home run in the first inning. OF Bourn’s homer off RHP Yu Darvish scored the game’s only run while Indians’ RHP Justin Masterson and two relievers blanked the Rangers. … Rangers manager Ron Washington said the slumping Moreland will likely be rested in two of the next three games. … Texas returns home Monday to begin a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels. Rangers RHP Matt Garza (1-0), who was acquired from the Cubs last week, takes on Angels RHP Jered Weaver (5-5). Garza has a 7-1 overall record in 12 starts this season. … The Indians continue their sevengame homestand Monday against the Chicago White Sox. Indians RHP Zach McAllister (4-6) faces White Sox LHP John Danks (2-8) in the opener of a four-game series.

USDA extends acreage reporting deadline for FSA Farmers and landowners have an additional 18 calendar days to submit their annual report of acreage to the Shelby County FSA office with the deadline extended from Monday, July 15, 2013, to Friday, Aug. 2, 2013. Only the FSA reporting deadline has been extended. The acreage reporting requirement for crop insurance has not changed and remains July 15. Accurate acreage reports are necessary to determine and maintain eligibility for various programs, such as the Direct and Counter-cyclical Program (DCP); the Average Crop Revenue Election Program (ACRE); the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP); and the Non-insured Crop Disaster Assistant Program (NAP). Acreage reports for FSA are considered timely this year when filed at the county office by the new applicable final crop reporting deadline of Aug. 2, 2013. Producers should contact

Producers must report crop losses to FSA Producers must report crop losses resulting from a weatherrelated disaster event within 15 days of the disaster or when the loss first becomes apparent, this includes crops covered by crop insurance, the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) and crops without insurance coverage. Prevented planting must be reported no later than 15 days after the final planting date. Crop losses are acres that were timely planted with the intent to harvest, but the crop failed because of a natural disaster. It is important that producers file accurate and timely loss reports to prevent the potential loss of FSA program benefits. Producers who have NAP coverage will be required to report crop losses on an FSA form CCC-576

- “Notice of Loss and Application for Payment Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program.” Successor-In-Interest Many FSA programs will allow payments to be made to heirs or successors when a program participant passes away. Additionally, contracts in programs such as CRP must be revised to reflect the successor(s) to a deceased participant’s interest. In the event of an FSA program participant’s death, it is important that FSA be notified. Entities and joint operations that participate in FSA programs also need to notify FSA if a shareholder or member passes away. FSA benefits are reported to IRS and maintaining current, accurate records about participants is vital to ensuring that those payments are reported correctly.

Kids, calves and more scramble at the fair Kathy Leese A large crowd filled the grandstand to watch the calf and pig scramble Friday night as small children and teenagers alike chased chickens, pigs, sheep and calves around the arena, bringing laughter and cheers from the crowd. Justin Vondenhuevel, a local auctioneer, acted as master of ceremonies for the scramble, yelling out, “Has anybody ever caught a chicken before?” To which enthusiastic children yelled back, “yeah,” as they lifted their hands in the air. As the chickens were let loose, along with a duck, the children chased them around the arena, with some hesitant to pick them up and one little boy proudly capturing the chicken to the cheers of the crowd, and others following until all of the chickens and duck were placed back in their cage. During the scramble, Mikayla Ryder, 16, the daughter of Steve and Mary Ryder, of Jackson Center, had the opportunity to say thank you to Pullins Farm Drainage, which had made a donation to Special Olympics in her name at the Mud Bog on Thursday evening. Mikayla was wearing her cowboy boots and stood in the arena during the scramble, cheering on those participating.

There weren’t only pig and calves at the Shelby County Fair Pig & Calf Scramble on Friday evening. Children also caught ducks, chickens and sheep.

After children of various ages tried chasing the chickens, the older kids tried their hand at removing a tag from the sheep that were released in the arena. They all wore protective helmets as they chased after the animals, who made them work hard to get the tags. Following the sheep, pigs were released in the arena, with the teenagers greasing their hands as they got ready to chase them around the arena, which had been watered down to add to the challenge. While the pigs squealed in protest, the teenagers pur-

sued them, bringing them to the center of the arena. Kennadie Reese and Riley Huelskamp had the fastest times in capturing their pigs. Riley took first place with a time of 5.66 seconds. Kennadie had a time of 8.44 seconds. The first-place winner was awarded $150 and Kennadie won $50. During the calf scramble, teenagers wore protective gear and greased their hands, getting ready to try to capture a calf and place a halter on it before bringing it to the middle of the arena. The calves kicked and ran from the teenagers, who continued to chase them. Marion County Junior Fair King Seaton Dyer, who was visiting the Shelby County Fair, along with the Marion County Junior Fair queen, participated in the event. The overall winner in the calve scramble was Brandon Maurer, with a time of 56 seconds. Jacob Frieders took second place with a time of 1 minute 56 seconds. Brandon won $200 and Jacob was the winner of $100. Reportedly, two teenagers were injured during the scramble, with one taken to the hospital afterward. Pullins Farm Drainage and Sylvia’s Crop Insurance sponsored the event.

Ohio soybean farmers highlight agriculture science and technology at Ohio State Fair WORTHINGTON — The 2013 Ohio State Fair begins today and Ohio soybean farmers invite everyone to experience the fun of driving a tractor, see soy-based products being made and find out why soybeans are one of the most versatile crops in the world. The Ohio Soybean Council (OSC) and soybean checkoff, an organization directed by soybean farmers from throughout the state, is one of six presenting sponsors of the 2013 Ohio State Fair. “The fair is about fun and we are so excited to be able to give fairgoers the chance to have fun with some of the technology farmers use to grow their food,” said John Motter, OSC chairman and soybean farmer from Hancock County. “Soybeans are a versatile crop used for food, feed, fuel and more, yet many people don’t know much about them. We want to change that.” Located in the Nationwide Donahey Ag & Hort building, fairgoers have the chance to try out the tractor simulator and get a feel for the technology and equipment that soybean farmers use on their farms to grow and harvest. Visitors of all ages will also enjoy the soy product demonstrations where Ohio high school students will be making soy lip balm and soy soap for people

to take home with them. “Agriculture and science go hand-inhand,” said Patrick Knouff, OSC vice chairman and soybean farmer from Shelby County. “Soybeans are used in thousands of different types of household and industrial products, making them more renewable and environmentally friendly. It’s also a great science education tool that we’re proud to highlight this year at the fair.” OSC is also a presenting sponsor of the 2013 Junior Livestock Shows, the O’Neill Swine Building, Voinovich Livestock and Trade Center and Rabbit & Poultry Pavilion. Soybean Day On Saturday, OSC will host Soybean Day at the Ohio State Fair. Several Ohio soybean farmers will greet fairgoers at the Cardinal Gate entrance and answer their questions about soybeans, farming and what soybean farmers do to take great care of the environment around them. Farmers love to talk about what they do and we know that people are interested in knowing more,” said Motter. “We welcome any questions that people may have and look forward to highlighting soybeans and the benefits they offer all Ohioans.”

Western Ohio Day on August 21 SOUTH CHARLESTON – Alfalfa management and native grasses for forage and biofuel are just some of the topics farmers and producers can get updates on during a Western Ohio Forage Day Aug. 21, offered by experts with Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. The field day will offer information on issues that producers and growers can benefit now from, such as forage preservation, as well as offer field demonstrations on new techniques, such as manure slurry seeding, said Amanda Douridas, an Ohio State University Extension agriculture and natural resources educator. Developed at Michigan

State University, slurry seeding is a relatively new, no-till compatible manure application and cover crop establishment method that uses aeration tillage and liquid manure to apply seeds, said Douridas, who will perform the demonstration. “We recently acquired an AerWay toolbar that we can put on the manure tank to mix the seed with liquid manure to research how a variety of seeds work with the systems,” she said. “We will demonstrate our research trials using a variety of seed trials to see which works best.” The event is from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC) Western

Agricultural Research Station, 7721 South Charleston Pike, in South Charleston. OSU Extension and OARDC are the outreach and research arms, respectively, of the college. The event begins with a wagon tour of the Agronomic Crops Trials at the site from 9 a.m. to noon, during which OSU Extension and OARDC researchers will talk about the latest innovations in forages. The field demonstrations will be held in the afternoon. Registration for the program is $20. Payments can be sent to Douridas at 18000 State Route 4, Suite E, Marysville, OH 43040. The deadline to register is Aug. 14.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — A Hillary Rodham Clinton miniseries timed to precede the 2016 presidential election is part of NBC’s effort to create “event” programming that will draw viewers to the shrinking world of broadcast network TV, NBC’s programming chief said Saturday. “We need to be in the event business. I think you’re going to hear that from every broadcast network,” said Bob Greenblatt, NBC Entertainment chairman. The four-hour miniseries “Hillary,” starring Diane Lane as the former first lady and secretary of state, is one such bid for distinctive programming, he said. The goal is to woo viewers who are increasingly drawn away by cable TV’s eye-catching, critically acclaimed fare like “Mad Men” and “Breaking Bad” and other media choices. Broadcasting’s audience is shrinking by 4 percent to 7 percent annually, Greenblatt told a meeting of the Television Critics Association. “Anything that can shake up the landscape and say, ‘we have something special’” would be considered part of the varied group of event projects, he said. At NBC, that ranges from the new fall game show “Million Second Quiz” to big-ticket scripted fare including “Hillary” and other projects announced Saturday: “Rosemary’s Baby” a four-hour version of the Ira Levin novel that was adapted as a 1968 movie; an adaptation of “Stephen King’s Tommyknockers,” and “Plymouth,” about the Pilgrim’s journey and settlement in America. A six-hour miniseries about Cleopatra is in development, Greenblatt said. Although Clinton hasn’t announced her intention to seek the Democratic nomination for president, Greenblatt spoke as if her candidacy is expected. “Hillary” could air before Clinton announces her decision, but the timing has yet to be determined, Greenblatt said. He didn’t address how such a miniseries, which will track Clinton’s life and career from 1998 to the present, might affect the presidential contest. The part of former President Bill Clinton has yet to be cast. Lane’s credits include the feature films “Unfaithful” and “Under the Tuscan Sun” and the TV movie “Cinema Verite.” Other networks seeking to stem audience erosion are jumping on the event bandwagon, especially in light of the success of another King adaptation, CBS’ summer series “Under the Dome.” Announced plans include a Fox’s remake of the “Shogun” miniseries based on James Clavell’s novel.

Mr. Speed brings KISS to Shelby County Fair

The Mr. Speed KISS Tribute Band presents a standing room only concert in the free entertainment tent at the Shelby County Fair Friday night. SDN Photo | Molly Green

Hayden Fisher Mr. Speed, the No. 1 KISS tribute band, performed in front of a packed tent Friday night at the Shelby County Fair. The concert was held in the free entertainment tent. The group is composed of Rich Kosak as Paul Stanley, Joe Hess as Ace Frehley, Andrew Sgambati, and Danny Ayala as Gene Simmons. Mr. Speed won the right to be called the No. 1 KISS tribute band in the world by winning the “KISS Off” contest that was judged by the actual members of KISS. Kosak is the only member of the band that was part of the original Mr. Speed band and he has seen KISS in concert 52 times. Hess joined the band in 2000 and he collects vintage KISS memorabilia. Sgambati started playing drums in High School Marching Band and has a drum endorsement from BIB Drums.

Ayala plays the famous Gene Simmons character. He has bowled two 300 games and is an avid Cleveland sports fan. The concert was an amazing experience with Mr. Speed playing all of KISS’s classic songs. The crowd was amped up from the beginning of the first song until the band finished up their set. Many people in the crowd were excited to see Mr. Speed because KISS’s music is what they listened to as a kid. They grew up on the music and many felt that they were actually watching KISS perform at the fair. This concert and the Mr. Speed band are a way for KISS fans to hear the music they love without seeing the actual band itself. To find more information on the Mr. Speed band, check out their website http://www. mrspeedonline.com/ index.php.
