Report card jitters Melanie Speicher mspeicher@civitasmedia.com

It was a report card that any parent would love to see their child bring home from school — all A’s. That’s what Russia Superintendent Steve Rose felt like Thursday when the 2013 Ohio school report cards were released by the Ohio Department of Education — A proud parent of 429 children. Russia received all A’s on the revamped report cards. The only categories they weren’t graded in were disabled student value added and lower 20 percent value added as “there wasn’t enough students to collect the data on,� said Rose. “I was confident in the achievement of our school,� said Rose of the waiting to see

the new report cards. “It’s good for a school to have accountability. I’m very proud of what we’re doing in Russia.� Rose said he thought 27 school districts in the state had received all A’s on the report cards. “I think ours will put us in the top 20 schools in the state,� said Rose. The academic performance of the district’s students, he said, is just as important — if not more — than the athletic accomplishments. “We recognize our athletes by doing T-shirts when they get to the Sweet 16 in basketball,� he said. “I want to see us do the same thing with academics. “We are gong to celebrate this accomplishment,� he said.

Bales apologizes for Afghan massacre Gene Johnson Associated Press

JOINT BASE LEWISMCCHORD, Wash. (AP) — The U.S. soldier who massacred 16 Afghan civilians during pre-dawn raids last year apologized for the first time for his “act of cowardice,� but could not explain the atrocities to a military jury considering whether he should one day have a shot at freedom. Staff Sgt. Robert Bales said he would bring back the victims of his March 11, 2012, attack “in a heartbeat,� if possible. “I’m truly, truly sorry to those people whose families got taken away,� he said in a mostly steady voice. “I can’t comprehend their loss. I think about it every time I look at my kids.� Bales, 40, did not recount specifics of the horrors, but described the killings as an “act of cowardice, behind a mask of fear, bullshit and bravado.� He said he hoped his

words would be translated for the nine villagers who traveled from Afghanistan to testify against him — none of whom elected to be in court to hear his words. The father of two from Lake Tapps, Wash., was serving his fourth combat deployment when he left his outpost at Camp Belambay, in Kandahar Province, in the middle of the night to attack two villages, exhibiting an unimaginable brutality as he slaughtered men, women and children screaming for his mercy. He pleaded guilty in June, and the six-member jury is deciding whether his life sentence should include the chance of parole. His attorneys previously made much of Bales’ repeated deployments and suggested that post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury may have played a role in the killings. But they offered no testimony from psychiatrists or other doctors, saying they saw little point in making the case a

The lowest 20 percent examines how much growth the bottom fifth of students have from year to year. Sidney City Schools, with an enrollment of 3,398 students, received one B, five C’s, one D and two F’s on its report card. “The rules have changed,� said Superintendent John Scheu of the new report cards. “I haven’t been able to access the results as the website keeps giving me an error. “Absolutely we have work to do,� he said after learning the district’s results. “There’s a lot of factors going into the scores.

“We have no formal plans yet, but this is one of our goals for the year.� While the district received all A’s, the buildings — elementary and high school — didn’t receive all A’s, said Rose. “Every year we want to improve our score from the previous year’s scores,� he said. Russia received A’s in standards met, performance index, value added, gifted student value added, annual measurable objectives (AMO), 4-year graduation rate and 5-year graduation rate. The value added measures whether students in grades 4-8 exceeded, met or learned below what was expected over the year in math and reading. The AMO replaces the fed-

battle of the experts. Instead, they rested their defense after Bales finished speaking Thursday. Closing arguments were scheduled Friday morning. Saying he was nervous to address the court, Bales sat at the witness stand and answered questions from one of his defense attorneys, Emma Scanlan, as his wife cried in the front row of the courtroom. Bales himself briefly became emotional, especially choking up as he apologized to his fellow soldiers. “I love the Army, I’ve stood next to some really good guys, some real heroes,� he said. “I can’t say I’m sorry to those guys enough. “Nothing makes it right,� he added. “So many times before I’ve asked myself. I don’t know why. Sorry just isn’t good enough. I’m sorry.� His statements were not made under oath, which prevented prosecutors from cross-examining him.

ANNA — Anna Village officials have released the administrative charges filed against Police Chief Scott Evans and have acknowledged they are considering whether or not to disband the police department. Mayor Robert Anderson sent a letter to Evans citing charges filed against him. They include misfeasance, dishonesty and incompetency. The charges were prepared for a public hearing to take place Aug. 27 following the regular village council meeting that begins at 7 p.m. Evans’ future with the village is expected to be decided during the hearing. Evans is facing charges as a result of several recent situations, includ- Evans ing his admission that he contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation to make allegations against Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart, Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Jim Frye and Lt. Tim Bender, who is also the Anna fire chief. Evans has alleged that the Sheriff’s Office is involved in public corruption, drug activity, payoffs and sexual activity with underage girls. He also alleged that Bender was responsible for an arson fire at the Anna Rescue Squad building. There are also questions about whether Evans has met residency requirements of the village. In reference to the incompetency charges cited in the letter to Evans, Anderson stated that “as Police Chief, you made certain allegations against certain personnel of the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office and the Anna Fire Department to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) without adequately investigating the legitimacy of the allegations. Upon information and belief you further discussed these unfounded allegations with the local media. Other law enforcement officers and agencies have been mentioned and cited in certain newspaper articles needlessly.� “You have failed to conduct your See EVANS | 10

Matthew Craft AP Business Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — A mysterious glitch halted trading on the Nasdaq for three hours Thursday in the latest major electronic breakdown on Wall Street, embarrassing the stock exchange that hosts the biggest names in technology, including Apple, Microsoft and Google. The problem sent brokers racing to figure out what went wrong and raised new questions about the pitfalls of the electronic trading systems that have come to dominate the nation’s stock markets. Nasdaq said only that the problem lay in its system for disseminating prices and that it planned to investigate. The outage disrupted what had otherwise been a quiet summer day on Wall Street. It was another in

a series of technical problems to disrupt financial markets in recent years, though less alarming than the “flash crash” plunge of May 2010. “The market has gotten quite complex and needlessly so,” said Sal Arnuk, co-founder of the brokerage Themis Trading. The Nasdaq, an exchange dominated by some of the largest, most prosperous technology companies, sent out an alert shortly after noon that said trading was going to stop. The Nasdaq composite index spent much of the afternoon stuck at 3,631.17. Trading resumed at 3:25 p.m. Thirty-five minutes later, the day ended day with the index up 38 points, or 1 percent, at 3,638.71. Investors were not at risk of losing any money from this type of glitch, said Marty Leclerc at

Barrack Yard, chief investment officer at Barrack Yard Advisors. “Clearly it’s an annoyance, but it doesn’t in any way affect the value of your underlying assets,” Leclerc said. “Warren Buffet used to say that if you own a stock, you ought to be comfortable with it even if the market were to close for a year.” During the outage, the Nasdaq said it would not cancel any orders stuck in limbo, but that customers were free to cancel them. The shutdown did not upset other parts of the stock market. But one stock that did take a hit was the parent company of the exchange, Nasdaq OMX, which fell $1.08, or 3.4 percent, to close at $30.46 in heavy trading. The White House, the Treasury Department and other government agencies monitored the disruption. Brad McMillan, chief investment officer of the independent brokerage Commonwealth Financial, said competition between rival exchanges for customers is partly to blame for recent trading problems. The exchanges try to bring in more business with the promise of faster trading, which makes them more reliant on new technology. “The more trading is tied to technology, the more computer crashes matter,” McMillan said. He was not overly concerned about Thursday’s interruption, recalling a

day in August 1994 when a mischievous squirrel caused a brief closure of Nasdaq by chewing into power lines near the stock market’s computer center in Trumbull, Conn. Thursday’s shutdown was another sign that the days of stock brokers in colorful jackets roaming the floor of the stock exchange have faded away. Now powerful computer programs dominate trading by sifting through reams of data and executing trades in fractions of a second. That makes trading faster and, arguably, more efficient. But it also introduces more possibilities for errors that can jolt the entire market. Last year, BATS Global Markets tried to go public on its own exchange but had to back out after a computer error sent its stock price plunging to just pennies. Nasdaq mishandled Facebook’s public offering last spring, when technical problems kept many investors from knowing if their trades had gone through and left some holding unwanted shares. And in April, the Chicago Board Options Exchange shut down for a morning because of a software problem. Then there was the 2010 “flash crash” in which the Dow Jones industrial average fell hundreds of points in minutes before eventually closing 348 points lower. It was one of the first major problems that revealed to the public the potential dangers of computerized trading.

GOMA, Congo (AP) — Neighbors said at least five civilians were hit by mortar fire in the eastern Congo city of Goma on Thursday during a second day of heavy fighting between government forces and M23 rebels to the north of the town. The violence marked the first reports of civilians being wounded inside the city since late May, and prompted the U.N. peacekeeping mission to issue a statement saying it would take the “necessary steps to protect civilians.” Clement Sale said two of his nieces — ages 16 and 17 — were wounded, one seriously, when a mortar round fell on their house in a densely populated residential neighborhood of Goma. Another witness, Dieudonne Kwibuka, told The Associated Press that at least three other people, were wounded by mortar rounds that fell near an Anglican church in the same neighborhood, near the center of the town. The victims included a 3-yearold and a 6-year-old, and one of them had sustained severe head injuries and was unlikely to live, Kwibuka said. Residents at both locations said they believed the mortar rounds had been fired by Rwandans.

NEW YORK (AP) — The nation’s biggest police department will get a new watchdog and face easier standards for people to file profiling lawsuits against it after the City Council on Thursday overrode mayoral vetoes amid applause from supporters and angry warnings from opponents. The measures mark the most aggressive legislative effort in years to put new checks on the New York Police Department, and the vote came less than two weeks after a federal judge imposed new oversight of her own. “Today marks a monumental civil rights victory for New Yorkers,” Councilmen Jumaane Williams and Brad Lander, the legislation’s sponsors, said in a statement. The legislation drew national attention from civil rights groups and a vehement response from Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who slapped it down earlier this summer. He said Thursday it will make it “harder for our police officers to protect New Yorkers and continue to drive down crime.” “Make no mistake: The communities that will feel the most negative impacts of these bills will be minority communities across our city, which have been the greatest beneficiaries of New York City’s historic crime reductions,” he said in a statement.

Proponents see the measures as needed oversight for a police force that’s come under scrutiny for its heavy use of a tactic known as stop and frisk and its extensive surveillance of Muslims, which was revealed in stories by The Associated Press. Douglas Bryant, an educator from the Bronx who said he’s been unfairly stopped by police a couple of times, went to City Hall to watch the council’s vote. “I hope this will give the police some sense that our voice can be heard sometimes, such as today,” Bryant said. A packed spectators’ gallery erupted in cheers when the vote was announced. Later, supporters exchanged hugs outside. Earlier this month, U.S. District Court Judge Shira Scheindlin appointed an outside monitor to reform stop and frisk, a practice she said the police department had used in a way that violated the rights of hundreds of thousands of black and Hispanic men. The city is appealing. Supporters say the new laws, coupled with the judge’s ruling, will end practices they see as unfair, will mold a more trusted, effective police force and can change how other departments use the policy. “What happens in New York city has consequences for the nation,” National Association for the Advancement of Colored People

head Benjamin Jealous said at a City Hall rally before the vote. The debate on the bills veered into the personal and the historical, as lawmakers invoked the upcoming 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and discussed their constituents’ and their experiences with bias. Williams teared up as the vote roll call neared its end. Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras, who’s Hispanic and 8 1/2 months pregnant, reflected on her hopes for her unborn son. “I look forward to giving birth to this young man because I know he’s coming into a better New York City,” she said. Opponents said the measures would lower police morale but not crime, waste money and not solve a broader problem of a police force under pressure after shrinking by thousands of officers during the last decade. “These bills are downright dangerous,” Councilman Eric Ulrich said. The profiling bill passed with the minimum votes necessary, 34-15, while the proposal for an inspector general passed 39-10. Bloomberg and police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said the police force has driven crime down to record lows without racially profiling. They say that between the council measures and the court ruling, police will be tangled up in second-guessing and lawsuits.

Riverside Bluesfest returns to K.C. Geiger Park ST. MARYS — The Riverside Bluesfest is back. Bring your lawn chairs, ears, appetites, friends, thirst and love of music to Saint Marys on Saturdayfor an afternoon and evening of entertainment you won’t soon forget. The Riverside Bluesfest has always presented an audiencedazzling variety of blues and blues-descended American music, and the 2013 festival continues that tradition. Mixing favorite performers from Riverside Bluesfests past with outstanding “new” artists, this year’s edition will get listeners’ mojos working with blues, rock and roll, gospel, soul, rockabilly, jazz, dixieland and more blues. A production of the K.C. Geiger Park Improvement Committee, the Riverside Bluesfest is an all volunteer-staffed, non-profit fundraising event benefitting K.C. Geiger Park, the 67-acre municipal facility where the festival is held. In more than 20 years of service, the K.C. Geiger Park Improvement Committee has donated in excess of $100,000 in capital improvements and services to the park. The K.C. Park Improvement Committee operates a component fund within the St. Marys Community Foundation. A The tree-lined venue on the banks of the Saint Marys River is one of the most beautiful concert settings anywhere. A delicious variety of food is available and beer and wine is sold on-site. Children under age 12 who are accompanied by a paying adult are admitted free. The gates open at noon on Saturday and the music begins at 1:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 the day of the show. Pre-sale tickets are available in St. Marys at the St. Marys Area Chamber of Commerce, Pantry Pride, Krogers and Beer Barrel Pizza and Grill. All proceeds benefit the K.C. Geiger

Park Improvement Committee. Additional details are available at www.stmarysblues.com. Acts schedule to perform throughout the day include: • Davina and the Vagabonds return to headline the 2013 Riverside Bluesfest, after wowing the 2009 crowd here with their first-ever Ohio performance. Now known and loved internationally, DATV surprises and delights audiences with musical dexterity, technical mastery and wit, delivering standards and original compositions with full-throated passion and fire. Is it blues? Is it jazz? Is it Dixieland? Does it matter? It’s DATV, and the Riverside Buesfest is as delighted to bring this unforgettable music back to our stage as you will be to hear it. • Ray Fuller and the Bluesrockers have been leaving a wake of rock-a-billy wreckage across the midwest landscape for years, last seen in St. Marys at the 2010 Riverside Bluesfest. Ray himself is one of the masters of the art, having shared the stage with Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Albert Collins, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy, The Fabulous Thunderbirds and others over the years. Under Ray’s hand, slide, gut-bucket slow blues gives way to walking blues, dancing rock-a-billy blues, doubletime blowout codas and before listeners know it, they can do anything but sit still. So, do you think you like good-time rock and roll, with a heavy layer of blues and a lot of soul? You’d better, because you will not get a break from it once Josh Boyd and the V.I.P. Band gets started. The most relentlessly energetic act you are likely to see this or any summer, don’t expect the echoes to fade before the next number launches. These guys have been known to play

entire sets without pausing long enough to say “hi.” Consider it 90 minutes of audio cardio. • The McCrary Sisters follow in their father the Rev. Samual McCrary’s gospel footsteps. “For the McCrary Sisters, music is a birthright, a lifelong love affair, a sometimes career, an indescribable joy, and occasionally, a cross to bear.” Yet they infuse their craft with so much passion, so much artistry, so many musical influences and so much energy that it almost transcends the already transcendant definition of gospel music. They cook. Their sound has led them to back up some notable Nashville recording artists, including The Winans, Bob Dylan, Bobby Jones, Johnny Cash and others. The four sisters’ stage act with their own band and horn section threatens not merely to raise the roof at the 2013 Riverside Bluesfest, but to raise the sky. • The Hipsters’ style of blues claims musical inspiration from jazz, swing and funk, and they back up those claims with tight performances that prove their years of experience as the area’s premier blues band. Always entertaining and always solid, The Hipsters know where to put the polish and where to put the grease, and how. • Whether Noah Wotherspoon is a blues guitar prodigy or not is beside the point. It cannot be denied that he learned early and easily, opening for Derek Trucks when he was 13, jamming onstage with Bobby Blue Bland by 16. The list of impressive names and big festival appearances speaks for itself. His songwriting skills are getting noticed on satellite radio and he’s just getting started. A top qualifier at the IBC (International Blues Blues Challenge), his style and creativity shine.

Ohio mom’s lawyer notes school brawl story changes Amanda Lee Myers Associated Press

CINCINNATI (AP) — A 15-year-old Ohio girl testified Thursday that a woman egged on her daughter to fight the teenager at their school before the mother “jumped” her and got into the fray. Taking the stand in the trial of Precious Allen on misdemeanor assault and trespassing charges, the teenager said Allen urged her 14-year-old daughter to fight and “we just started fighting.” Soon after, she said, Allen started hitting her and “I knew I was being jumped.” The teenager said she then pursued Allen’s daughter from the classroom into a hallway to continue fighting with her, but the girl’s mother held her back. “She grabbed me. She was pulling me,” she said. “She didn’t want

me to fight her daughter again.” Authorities accuse Allen of punching, kicking and holding down the 15-year-old girl as Allen’s daughter hit the girl in the face with a combination lock. Prosecutor Eric Cook told jurors Allen “acted like a child” trying to settle the Feb. 7 dispute herself. Allen, 31, has pleaded not guilty to the charges and has maintained that she went to Withrow High School only to withdraw her daughter from classes and collect her things. Allen’s daughter has admitted in juvenile court to misdemeanor assault. Defense attorney Eric Deters told jurors in opening statements that Allen was just trying to protect her daughter. He has suggested the 15-year-old girl is a bully and implied that she

pulled out her own hair after the fight and before a photo was taken of her to show bloody cuts under her left eye. Thursday, two teenagers who witnessed and tried to break up the fight painted Allen and her daughter as the instigators. One testified that Allen hit the 15-yearold first; the other said Allen’s daughter started the hitting. But under cross-examination, Deters pointed out that statements the two gave police after the brawl said the 15-yearold hit Allen first, saying she “mugged” the woman by shoving her head back with an open hand; one of them also wrote that the fight could have been avoided “if the mother didn’t get mugged.” Earlier in the day, Deters grilled a teacher who was in the classroom during the brawl. Kim Kilby said she couldn’t

see the fight with students surrounding the two girls and Allen, but did see the 15-year-old get up from the floor, appearing shaken and slightly bleeding from cuts on her face. Kilby said the girl then ran out of the classroom “still trying to fight.” Deters has questioned how surveillance video that captured part of the fight wasn’t preserved, and suggested it was deleted intentionally because it showed that the alleged victim was the aggressor. Greg Baker, who oversees school security and surveillance equipment, said Thursday that he didn’t know what happened to the video but that the system wouldn’t allow someone to delete it. ___ Follow on Twitter at h t t p s : / / t w i t t e r. c o m / AmandaLeeAP

Ohio news briefs Ga. woman accused of 1987 Ohio woman’s death COLUMBUS (AP) — A Georgia woman has been indicted on a single count of aggravated murder in connection with the death of an Ohio woman in 1987. The Franklin County prosecutor’s office on Thursday announced the indictment against 49-year-old Zina Somone Roberson. Roberson was arrested last week in Georgia after investigators linked her DNA to evidence removed from the Columbus apartment where authorities say 77-year-old Anna Mae Florence was murdered on June 1987. Prosecutor Ron O’Brian says conviction carries a sentence of 30 years to life in prison. Court records do not show an attorney for Roberson. The Columbus Dispatch reports that at the time the murder occurred police had said the suspect was a woman who had knocked on Florence’s door, claiming she was soliciting money for a charity benefiting the elderly.

Police identify woman found dead on Ohio road COLUMBUS AP) — Authorities have identified the body that was repeatedly run over on a major highway in Ohio’s capital city. Columbus Police on Thursday said the remains are those of 22-year-old Jessica Lynn Nichols. Travelers on Wednesday reported seeing the body on Interstate 71 north of downtown Columbus. That prompted police to close several miles of northbound I-71 during the morning commute. Media outlets have reported that multiple drivers contacted police saying they thought they might have hit the body. It is still unclear how the Columbus woman died. Police are trying to determine whether Nichols died before being hit by a vehicle.

AK Steel reaches $1.6M settlement with feds ASHLAND, Ky. (AP) — AK Steel Corp. is paying a $1.6 million civil penalty to resolve air pollution violations that occurred at its now-closed coke plant in Ashland. The settlement also calls for AK Steel to spend at least $2 million to improve emissions at its Ashland West Works facility. The Independent in Ashland reports Kentucky will receive $25,000 of that penalty. The West Chester, Ohio, company said in a statement Wednesday that the settlement was reached “without admission of the alleged violations by AK Steel.”? Robert Dreher with the Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division says the settlement holds AK accountable for years of violations at the plant. AK Steel closed the coke plant in June 2011.

Plaintiff denies conflict in Pilot settlement Erik Schelzig

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The head of a group formed for the purpose of filing a lawsuit against a truck stop chain run by the family of Tennessee’s governor and the owner of the Cleveland Browns said Thursday it is not a shell corporation established to ensure the company reached a favorable settlement.

Pilot Flying J, the nation’s largest diesel retailer, last month agreed to settle the classaction lawsuit, filed in Arkansas by National Trucking Financial Reclamation Services LLC. The suit was filed in response to FBI allegations that members of the company’s sales force preyed on smaller trucking companies by reducing the amount of rebates

they were owed. Under the settlement, the company has offered to reimburse with interest all the money trucking companies were cheated out of since 2005. Attorneys for trucking companies that have not joined in the settlement but are also suing Pilot called the agreement rushed and inadequate, and said it contained little more than what the company offered in the first place. They also questioned the involvement of National Trucking, which itself isn’t eligible for the settlement because it is not a Pilot customer. In legal filings, they called it a “shell company.” The Tennessean newspaper this week reported that National Trucking is run by Lane Kidd, the president of the Arkansas Trucking Association. Pilot is a member of the association and in the past has sponsored group events. “National Trucking was not formed to resolve or settle this matter with Pilot and the other defendants,” Kidd said in a statement released Thursday. “It was formed to seek justice.” National Trucking was founded four days after a federal judge unsealed a 120-page FBI affidavit detailing the allegations about the sales force. It filed the lawsuit two days later. Federal agents raided Pilot’s headquarters on April 15. Seven sales employees have pleaded guilty, while two others have agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in exchange for immunity from prosecution. Pilot CEO Jimmy Haslam,

who also owns the NFL’s Browns, has said he was unaware of the rebate scheme until he read the affidavit. In his statement, Kidd said he had never met Jimmy Haslam and that he had no discussions with Pilot before filing the lawsuit. He said he formed the corporation to represent trucking companies that didn’t want to file their own lawsuits, and that wish to remain anonymous. “Many executives were interested in recovering any money owed them, but they were reluctant to be publicly involved,” he said. Kidd said it is standard practice to found corporations for the purpose of representing other parties that have an interest in a lawsuit. Brian Fitzpatrick, a law professor at Vanderbilt University who specializes in class-action litigation, agreed. “It kind of mimics some of the advantages of the class-action system,” he said. “In the insurance industry, it’s ubiquitous.” Fitzpatrick noted, however, that a judge could ask for more details about the companies that want to remain anonymous as part of a fairness hearing scheduled for later this year. “There could be a concern the plaintiff has a conflict of interest and would not be a good representative for all the other trucking companies in the class, because they may have divided loyalties,” he said. ___

Abuse victim seeks protective order change CINCINNATI (AP) — A Hamilton County domestic violence victim is urging state legislators to change the law so abusers need not be physically served with a protective order before being charged with violations. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports 29-year-old Andrea Metil seeks the change because of the impact of an April ruling by the Ohio Supreme Court. The 4-3 decision said prosecutors must show a defendant has been served with a civil protection order before any alleged violations occurred. Metil said a criminal case against her husband for repeated violations of a protective order has been dropped because of the ruling. He was aware of the order but it hadn’t been physically served on him. The Ohio Domestic Violence Network would like Ohio law to require “actual notice,” whether verbal or written.

No Asian carp DNA found in Kalamazoo River samples KALAMAZOO, Mich. (AP) — Michigan officials say no genetic material from Asian carp turned up in 200 water samples taken from the Kalamazoo River in July. The samples were taken by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which is monitoring Great Lakes tributaries for signs of the invasive fish. DNA from bighead and silver carp has been detected in Chicago-area waterways, raising concerns that they may be near Lake Michigan. Both were imported from Asia. Officials are trying to prevent them from reaching the Great Lakes, where they could out-compete native fish for food. Other Great Lakes tributary rivers also have been sampled for Asian carp DNA. Results will be released later this year. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is asking boaters and anglers to report fish they think may be Asian carp.

Beau Biden returns to Delaware with father Josh Lederman and Randall Chase Associated Press

DOVER, Del. (AP) — Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden returned home Thursday with his father, Vice President Joe Biden, and other family members after undergoing a medical procedure at a Houston cancer center. A small motorcade of SUVs with dark tinted windows arrived at Joe Biden’s house shortly before 4 p.m. Thursday afternoon after Air Force Two touched down at the New Castle County airport following a flight from Texas. “On our way home! Can’t wait to get back. Thank you, Houston,” the younger Biden said earlier Thursday in a Twitter post that included a photo of him with his wife and parents. Beau Biden, 44, was admitted earlier this week to the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center after becoming weak and disoriented during a vacation in Indiana last week. His hospitalization came two weeks after emergency dispatchers received a call from the vice president’s Delaware home, where Beau Biden is staying, regarding a report of a possible stroke. Beau Biden suffered a minor stroke in 2010.

Strip club closing its curtains SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Nearly two decades after they made the nation gawk by forming its first unionized strip club, the dancers at San Francisco’s Lusty Lady are hanging up their thongs. The employee-owned, co-op club will close in two weeks because it can no longer afford its rent. General manager Scott Farrell tells the San Francisco Chronicle that while the workers own the club, they don’t own the North Beach building where rent was $5,500 a month in 2001 but now runs more than $16,000. That’s far more than the dancers and their wads of ones can manage. Eviction proceedings began against the club earlier this year when it fell behind on rent. The workers have agreed to vacate by Sept. 2, and the owner says he’ll waive the back rent.

Egypt’s ousted leader transferred from prison to military hospital Sarah Ek Deeb Associated Press

CAIRO (AP) — Wearing a white T-shirt and flashing a smile, Hosni Mubarak was transferred from prison Thursday to a Nile-side military hospital where he will be under house arrest, a reversal of fortune for the former president who was ousted by a popular uprising and is on trial for complicity in the killing of protesters in 2011. The release of the 85-year-old Mubarak comes amid a sweeping crackdown against the Muslim Brotherhood, which rose to power after the revolution only to see their Islamist president toppled by a military coup last month. The latest twist of Mubarak’s fate mirrored the country’s rocky transition, with the longtime autocrat released from prison even as his democratically elected successor remained jailed at an undisclosed location. The release threatened to stoke tensions in the deeply divided country, reeling from violence and the unsettled politics that followed the military coup against Mohammed Morsi. Many feared the decision to let Mubarak out of prison at such a tense time would serve as a rallying cry for Morsi’s support-

ers against the country’s interim leaders. But there was little immediate reaction from the pro-Morsi camp, which called for street protests Friday against the July 3 coup, despite a sweeping arrest campaign that has seen hundreds of its leaders imprisoned. On Thursday, nearly 80 Brotherhood members were taken into custody, including the group’s spokesman, Ahmed Aref. Prime Minister Hazem elBeblawi ordered Mubarak placed under house arrest as part of emergency measures imposed last week after security forces forcibly dismantled two pro-Morsi protest camps, triggering a wave of violence that has killed more than 1,000 people. The decision came after antiMorsi groups called on the interim leadership to use the emergency measures to keep Mubarak locked up, arguing that his release posed a threat to national security. The decision to place the expresident under house arrest instead of letting him go free appeared designed to ease some of the criticism and to ensure that Mubarak is in court next week, where a retrial in the killing of protesters in the 2011 uprising could place him back

Footage on private TV stations showed the helicopter transporting Mubarak from Tora prison landing at a military hospital in the southern Cairo suburb of Maadi. Surrounded by armed troops in camouflage uniforms, he lay on a gurney, his hands grasping his head

as he was placed in an ambulance for the short drive to the hospital. Wearing sunglasses, a white T-shirt, khakis and white loafers, the former leader smiled briefly before disappearing inside the vehicle. As the ambulance drove away, guards, some with their guns drawn, ran after it, apparently fearing it might be targeted for attack.

Obama calls for cost-conscious college ratings Julie Pace and Philip Elliott Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Targeting the soaring cost of higher education, President Barack Obama on Thursday unveiled a broad new government rating system for colleges that would judge schools on their affordability and perhaps be used to allocate federal financial aid. But the proposed overhaul faced immediate skepticism from college leaders who worry the rankings could cost their institutions millions of dollars, as well as from congressional Republicans wary of deepening the government’s role in higher education. The president, speaking to a student-heavy crowd of 7,000 at the University at Buffalo, said he expected pushback from those who have profited from the ballooning cost of college. But he argued that with the

nation’s economy still shaky and students facing increasing global competition, making college affordable is “an economic imperative.” “Higher education cannot be a luxury,” Obama said during the first stop on a two-day bus tour through New York and Pennsylvania. “Every American family should be able to get it.” Republicans on Capitol Hill weighed in quickly with criticism. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, the top Republican on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, cast the proposal as government overreach and suggested a state-by-state approach would be preferable. “Washington needs to be careful about taking a good idea for one state and forcing all 6,000 institutions of higher education to do the exact same thing, turning Washington into a sort of national school board for

our colleges and universities,” Alexander said. For colleges and universities, millions of federal aid dollars could be on the line if schools are downgraded under the government rating system. However, if colleges line up against the idea of tying ratings to federal aid, the proposal would face nearly impossible odds. Almost all members of Congress have colleges or universities in their districts, and a coordinated effort to rally students and educators against the plan would probably kill it quickly. “This is extraordinarily complicated stuff, and it’s not clear we have the complete data or accurate data,” said Molly Corbett Broad, the president of the American Council on Education that represents colleges and universities in Washington.

FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — The Army psychiatrist on trial for the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood passed on his final chance to address jurors before they started deliberating Thursday, even after prosecutors insisted they hand down a verdict that would allow the death penalty. Maj. Nidal Hasan is acting as his own attorney but declined to plead his case after prosecutors finished their closing argument. When the judge told Hasan he could begin, he said: “The defense chooses not to make a closing statement.” Army psychiatrist is facing numerous counts of premeditated murder and attempted premeditated murder for the attack, which killed 13 people and wounded more than 30 others at the sprawling Army post in central Texas on Nov. 5, 2009. It was the deadliest mass shooting ever on a U.S. military base. Prosecutors laid out a detailed roadmap of their case during their closing argument, saying there was no question that Hasan planned and carried out the attack. “The facts I laid out to you give you only one option,” the prosecutor, Col. Steve Henricks, told jurors. “The accused without a doubt — without any doubt at all — had a premeditated design to kill.” Jurors began deliberating Thursday afternoon. After about three hours, they asked the judge if they could review the testimony of the Fort Hood police officer who ended the rampage by shooting the gunman. The judge agreed but then allowed jurors to leave for the evening. Deliberations are scheduled to resume Friday morning. During his brief opening statement two weeks ago, Hasan told jurors that evidence would “clearly show” he was the shooter. He also described himself as a soldier who had “switched sides.”

Manning wants to live as a woman named Chelsea David Dishneau and Pauline Jelinek Associated Press

FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) — Bradley Manning wants to live as a woman named Chelsea and begin hormone treatment as soon as possible, the soldier said a day after being sentenced to 35 years in prison for giving government secrets to WikiLeaks. Manning announced the decision Thursday in a statement provided to NBC’s “Today” show. “As I transition into this next phase of my life, I want everyone to know the real me. I am Chelsea Manning. I am a female. Given the way that I feel, and have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible,” the statement read. The statement asked

people to use the feminine pronoun when referring to Manning. It was signed Chelsea E. Manning. Manning received the stiffest punishment ever handed out in the U.S. for leaking information to the media. With good behavior and credit for more than three years of time served, Manning could be out in as little as seven years, the soldier’s attorney David Coombs said. Coombs told “Today” he hoped officials at the military prison in Fort Leavenworth, Kan., will accommodate Manning’s request for hormone treatment. If they don’t, Coombs said he would do “everything in my power” to make it happen. The Army said it doesn’t provide the treatment or sex-reassignment surgery. “All inmates are considered soldiers and are

treated as such with access to mental health professionals, including a psychiatrist, psychologist, social workers and behavioral science noncommissioned officers,” Army spokesman George Wright said. Many transgender people use cross-sex hormone treatments to alter their gender characteristics. Guidelines from the Endocrine Society endorse the therapy along with monitoring for potential health risks of long-term use. For instance, high doses of the female sex hormone estrogen given to someone born male promote breast development. Leavenworth is an allmale prison. Spokesman George Marcec said there had never been a case similar to Manning’s, and the soldier would need to peti-

tion for a transfer to a federal prison to receive hormone treatment. As far as where Manning would be held, the prison staff has some leeway to separate them from the general population based on the security risk to themselves and others, Marcec said. Manning has spent more than two years at a minimum-to-medium-security facility for pretrial prisoners at Leavenworth, but after sentencing, he was to be moved to military’s only maximum-security prison, which is also at Leavenworth. Greg Rinckey, a former Army prosecutor and now a lawyer in Albany, N.Y., said he doubted the military would voluntarily move Manning to a civilian prison, but that a transfer could be ordered by a judge. He

said if Manning dressed as a woman, the soldier might have to be segregated from the general population. He also said the military was adamant about not providing hormone treatment. “You enlisted as a male, you’re a male, you’re going to be incarcerated as a male,” he said. Manning’s struggle with gender identity disorder — the sense of being a woman trapped in a man’s body — was key at his court-martial. Retired Sgt. 1st Class Paul Adkins testified as a defense witness, saying in April 2010, just a month before Manning was arrested, the soldier emailed him a picture of himself in a blonde wig and lipstick with a letter titled, “My problem.”

She has badly bruised and scratched knees and hands. Two mornings after that, the horses popped the hinges on the gate and were happily eating in the hay field.

In order to move forward with a more permanent solution the local commissioners have asked for a new law that would allow for the creation of a Lake Facilities Authority (LFA). This is in keeping with the current efforts that have been inclusive and effective. The LFA is part of the state budget that was signed into law in July. The new body will be controlled by local community members and elected officials and will have the ability to raise funds and make decisions regarding lake restoration. The work of the LFA is important to bring more economic opportunity to the region in the future. By statute all work done by the LFA must be tied

directly to algae mitigation at Grand Lake St. Marys. You will be able to hold the LFA accountable because local elected officials that you know and trust will be responsible for all decisions made by the LFA. They have personally witnessed the lake’s impact to the region and our economy, and have even been affected by it themselves, which is why they are highly dedicated to the lake’s remediation.

– benefits they would not have had without help. In recent years we have increased benefits and beneficiaries, we’ve been at war for more than a decade, and we’ve seen an unprecedented economic downturn. These factors made the backlog sky rocket to close to 780,000 claims. Although Secretary Shinseki has made it his goal to end the backlog by 2015, veterans across Ohio cannot afford to wait. That’s why I’ve been proud to work to pass VA budgets that invest more than a half a billion dollars into the Veterans Benefits Management System (VBMS). We have added thousands of employees to help process claims. But, when 490,000 veterans have waited longer than 125 days to have their claims processed, it’s obvious we need to do more. Recently, I sponsored the Veterans Services Outreach Act. This legislation would require the VA to notify veterans filing electronically that they can receive help and important

time-saving information from VA-approved organizations tasked with assisting veterans. I’m also working to pass the Claims Processing Improvement Act of 2013. This legislation would hold the VA accountable to veterans by reporting on both its projected monthly goals and actual production. We need to know if the VA is working on eliminating the backlog or just passing the buck. This bill would also establish a task force to hire and train people to process claims and develop new tactics to eliminate the backlog. It’s important that veterans get connected with service organizations early on in the process — because these organizations have decades of experience and can help streamline this process, cut down the backlog and connect veterans with the support they need. Solving the backlog is not a partisan issue. It is a solemn promise our nation must honor.

Letters to the editor No more youth carriers To the editor: We are very unhappy to hear of your decision to replace our local young carriers with adult carriers; some don’t even live in our area. In the last 20 years or so we have been faithful customers. A couple of years ago we thought about cancel-

ing when you dropped the Tuesday paper. At the time we thought we would stick with you. Our reason, we were helping a young person in our town earn extra money and the valuable lesson of responsibility. I think we have had about five carriers who were all good kids and we

felt we were helping contribute to them. Now you say they will no longer exist here in Sidney. What a shame. We wish all the paper boys and girls the very best! Sam and Linda Sanders 1233 Turner Drive

to keep paying for a school who wants to continue to function as it was accustomed to. Times are tough, and money is tight. When my paycheck goes down I have to live cheaper. So should the school and its employees. When these special elections are held other than in the month of May or November, it can cost upwards of $15,000 per precinct depending on the kind of issue. Taxpayers pay for that. And there is talk of putting the levy back on the ballot in November. I for one am tired of paying for an election every time the school puts one on the ballot. This levy has failed seven

times now. These people are supposed to be smart, intelligent educators, and they don’t know the simple definition of the word “no.” Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines “no” as, “in no respect or degree, not so, in no uncertain terms.” I learned the definition of the word “no” when I was a very young child. When my parents told me “no” it meant just that, no, and don’t ask again. Maybe the school should take the hint. Lori Dicke 1831 Daniel Place

The meaning of “no” To the editor: In regard to the failed school levy I would like to say a few things. First about the cuts. You have a superintendent that is making upwards of $180,000 per year. That would be a good place to start. Get rid of sports all together. There is no educational purpose there. There are many other areas that I could list to cut, but the school just doesn’t want to. The question was asked what happened? The economy continued to plummet, and groceries and gas doubled. The school can’t expect citizens

Lawyer: UK mounts criminal inquiry into NSA leaks Danica Kirka and Raphael Satter Associated Press

LONDON (AP) — Britain has launched a criminal investigation into Edward Snowden’s leak of classified material to the Guardian newspaper and is sifting through documents it seized from the partner of one of the paper’s journalists, a government lawyer said Thursday. The revelation by lawyer Jonathan Laidlaw came at London’s High Court, where

lawyers for David Miranda — the partner of Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald — unsuccessfully sued to stop police from combing through digital material seized from him Sunday at Heathrow Airport. It was the British government’s first mention of a criminal investigation linked to the seized material, which included a laptop, cellphone, DVDs and memory sticks. Greenwald has been at the center of the Guardian’s disclosures about the National

Security Agency, which have pulled back the curtain on the American government’s secret domestic espionage program. Miranda, a 28-year-old Brazilian student, was detained for nearly nine hours as he flew through the London airport after meeting in Germany with a journalist working with Greenwald. Laidlaw said British police had already begun scanning through Miranda’s tens of thousands of pages of documents, which he described

as “highly sensitive.” “The disclosure of (the material) would be gravely injurious to public safety and thus the police have now initiated a criminal investigation,” Laidlaw said. “There is an absolutely compelling reason to permit this investigation to continue.” The exact target of the investigation was not clear. The Guardian said it was unaware of any criminal investigation and had yet to hear from police about the matter. London’s

Metropolitan Police said in a statement that its counterterrorism command had only just launched the inquiry Thursday. It was not immediately clear what link a British investigation would have to American efforts to prosecute Snowden, who has won temporary asylum in Russia and is still being sought by Barack Obama’s government on charges of espionage. Laidlaw appeared to keep his comments deliberately vague, telling the

court: “I am not proposing to say anything else which may alert potential defendants here or abroad to the nature and the ambit of the criminal investigation which has now begun.” The High Court on Thursday largely ruled in favor of the government, saying officials could continue to sift through the seized data on national security grounds until a court hearing Aug. 30 examines the government’s reasoning.

Report From page 1 school district are dedicated and hardworking as any I’ve ever worked with. “With the diversity such as Sidney has, we have additional challenges demographically,” he said. “But we can’t make excuses. We have a lot of work ahead of us.” Scheu said some changes have already been made within the district that should help future scores. “We’ve done things recently that will help kindergarten on up,” he said. “We’ve started all-day kindergarten and added Phonics First. We’ve adopted a new math series in K-5 called My Math. Our previous math program wasn’t aligned with the previous standards.” Scheu said the teachers are working with diverse needs of students. “We need to analyze the results and plug the holes we find,” he said. “There are certain things we obviously can’t change, such as the economic disadvantaged students and IEP students. They all have to perform like the rest of the students.” The district received a D in standards met by meeting 15 of the 24 standards.

Ohio releases new A-F report cards to schools Julie Carr Smyth Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — No district received all A’s on the new A-F report cards Ohio released Thursday — but none received all F’s, the state’s top public education official said. Superintendent Richard Ross told reporters ahead of Thursday’s release of the first round of new scores that districts instead scored at all points on the scale. Ross said the new report cards are intended to allow parents, communities and educators to more plainly see the data about their schools so they can capitalize on strengths and improve on weaknesses. “The new report card system is not a ‘gotcha.’ And they need to understand that if a school or district gets a lower grade than it expected, that doesn’t necessarily mean students got a poorer education there than they did the year before,” Ross said. “But what it does mean is that the school and district will have to work to meet new, higher expectations.” The 2013 report cards rate schools and buildings in the first nine of 18 new performance categories. Districts and buildings won’t receive overall letter grades until 2015. Aggregate state results weren’t immediately available on the interactive Ohio Department of Education website where data was released — but a sampling of big districts showed lots of failing grades.

City districts in Cincinnati and Cleveland each received six F’s, one D and two C’s on their assessment. The Columbus schools earned four F’s, three D’s and two C’s. The apparent downgrades had been anticipated as Ohio moves to a new system grounded in often tougher performance criteria that the state wants its students to meet to compete nationally. The revamped system replaces the six-tier assessment system that featured such labels as excellent and continuous improvement. The new letter grades are being applied to traditional public school districts and buildings, community schools, STEM schools, and college preparatory boarding schools. Performance will be assessed in areas including elementary-grade literacy, student academic performance, graduation rates, and college readiness. The phased rollout was intended to prevent schools from seeing sudden drops in their ratings as the state moves to a more rigorous evaluation system. Districts were bracing for the low grades, whatever the reason, to anger parents and businesses in communities that rely on healthy schools for their reputations and property values. “Some people say it’s unfair to keep moving the performance target for schools,” Ross said. “But I want you to know we are going to keep and need to keep improving for the sake of our children. The world is just moving too fast to have a static goal.”

Bales From page 1 Bales described in detail the trouble he had readjusting to civilian life after his deployments to Iraq. He became angry all the time, he said, and he was mad at himself for that. “Normal course of life became hard in that, you know, waiting in traffic, terrible,” he said. “Certain smells would just drive me nuts. Washing the dishes I’d just be mad about, for no reason.” He began drinking heavily, hiding bottles and sleeping pills from his wife. He fleetingly began to see a counselor, but quit because he didn’t think it was working and

he didn’t want others to find him weak. His perpetual rage worsened as he deployed to Afghanistan in late 2011, taking steroids while there. He lashed out frequently at junior soldiers, he said, in ways he’s now embarrassed about. Bales said he spent almost the entire day before the murders venting his anger by chopping and sawing a large tree that the soldiers had taken down near the base. Bales’ lawyers tried to paint a sympathetic picture of the soldier to contrast his own admissions and the testimony of angry Afghan villag-

ers about the horror he wrought. Former pro football player Marc Edwards testified Thursday as a character witness, telling jurors he remembered Bales as a great leader from their high school days in Norwood, Ohio. Wearing the Super Bowl ring he won with the New England Patriots in 2002, Edwards said the slightly older Bales “took me under his wing” and was magnanimous when Edwards took his position at starting linebacker. The jurors on Thursday also heard from two soldiers who served with Bales in Iraq. One

described how they sometimes had to collect the bodies of casualties, and how Bales helped carry civilians wounded and killed at the Battle of Zarqa in 2007. Another soldier, Maj. Brent Clemmer, said it was unfathomable to learn that the competent, positive soldier he knew could have committed the killings. “I walked myself into my office, poured myself a glass of scotch, and cried,” he said. The defense followed two days of testimony from nine Afghans, who spoke of their lives since the attacks.

Haji Mohammad Wazir lost 11 family members, including his mother, wife and six of his seven children. He told the six-member jury that the attacks destroyed what had been a happy life. He was in another village with his youngest son, now 5-year-old Habib Shah, during the attack. “If someone loses one child, you can imagine how devastated their life would be,” said Wazir, who received $550,000 in condolence payments from the U.S. government, out of $980,000 paid in all. “If anybody speaks to me about the incident … I feel the

same, like it’s happening right now.” The massacre prompted such angry protests that the U.S. temporarily halted combat operations, and it was three weeks before Army investigators could reach the crime scene. If Bales is sentenced to life with the possibility of parole, he would be eligible in 20 years, but there’s no guarantee he would receive it. He will receive life with parole unless at least five of the six jurors say otherwise. ——— Follow Gene Johnson at https://twitter.com/ GeneAPseattle.

Evans From page 1 official duties that inspire confidence and trust. Your actions related to the FBI investigation, or lack thereof, has resulted in the loss of confidence and loss of support of neighboring law enforcement agencies, the Shelby County Sheriff ’s Office and the undersigned,” Anderson wrote. “Your loyalty to the village is in question, upon information and belief you have attempted to gain employment elsewhere at least three times since your appointment as police chief.” “As police chief, you have failed to adequately follow through on certain tasks such as required state reporting, equipment maintenance and your response time has been inadequate.”

The letter also discusses a charge of dishonesty against Evans, in which Anderson states, “you informed me that you reviewed the allegations against the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office with neighboring law enforcement personnel who you claimed advised you to send certain information to the FBI, when in fact, you were advised by the same personnel that you should not forward the information to the FBI.” Evans was advised he may appear at the hearing “in person and by legal counsel, examine all witnesses, and answer all charges which have been filed against you. The village has made arrangements for a court reporter to be present in order to record and preserve

a full transcript of the hearing proceedings.” Anderson’s letter also detailed what may happen during the meeting. “At the conclusion of the hearing, the village council may dismiss the charges, suspend you from office for not more than 60 days or remove you from office. Any action of the village council removing or suspending you from office requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of all members elected to council.” “In the case of your (Evans) removal from office, you may appeal the village council’s decision on questions of law and fact to the Shelby County Common Pleas Court. You must file this appeal within

10 days from the date of the village council’s finding on this matter,” Anderson stated. Anderson told the Sidney Daily News Wednesday that there is another option open to council members that is being considered. “We could abolish the Police Department,” he said. “There’s a lot of advantages in having the Sheriff’s Office take over the policing.” Anderson noted council would have to vote to abolish the department” and said it could happen at Tuesday’s meeting. The mayor said there have been “some problems” with the department in the past, in addition to the Evans controversy. “Right now, I think our coun-

cil’s kind of split” on the issue, he said. Although there was a standing room only crowd at a council meeting Aug. 13, Anderson said, he does not anticipate changing the location. Witnesses called to testify at the hearing could be subpoenaed to testify and “each witness will be sworn in,” Anderson said, noting that he will read the charges and Council President Richard Eshleman will chair the hearing. After the witnesses and statements have been heard, council will go into executive session, Anderson said. Upon returning to open session, council will then vote on Evans’ future with the village.

disease is a benign condition caused by leaky blood vessels. The blood is broken down and causes the rust-colored pigment in the skin. It can cause some itching, usually treated with hydrocortisone.

Every year or so since then, I have been checked for the virus. Everything was fine until about a month ago, when my doctor informed me that my hepatitis C was back. He did one more test to confirm it. Otherwise, my liver is healthy, and my doctor said he would monitor it. What could I have done or taken for the hepatitis C to come back? — Anon. ANSWER: Hepatitis C is caused by a virus, usually transmitted through infected blood products. Treatment now is with a combination of medications, and is more effective than the interferon alone that was used in the past. Treatment is important in order to prevent cirrhosis and liver cancer, and people with hepatitis C need to avoid alcohol, be immunized against

hepatitis A and B, and be careful in their diet, especially avoiding raw shellfish. Hepatitis C that was undetectable for 23 years and then comes back is something I have never heard of. I spoke to an expert, who suggested either you were re-exposed or you had a very low level of infection that went undetected, and that either with time or by waning of the immune system, it showed up again. Only an expert, usually a gastroenterologist, should treat hepatitis C. The booklet on hepatitis explains the three different kinds.

100 years Aug. 23, 1913 A bad freight wreck occurred at Anna about midnight last night, when 13 freight cars, mostly coal cars, were derailed and piled in a heap about 100 feet north of the C.H. & D. depot at that place. A tramp, who was noticed on the coal cars when the train passed through Sidney, is thought to be under the debris but his body has not yet been found. ——At the regular meeting of city council last evening it was suggested that the attention of the railway officials be called to the dangerous situation existing at the foot of Fair Avenue where the tracks are so close to the edge of the street that it is hazardous for vehicles when electric cars are coming down the hill. 75 years Aug. 23, 1938 A business change is being announced this week in which the ownership of the Pure Oil filling station, corner of North Street and Main Avenue, is being taken over by Henry G.

Although we have a close and loving relationship, one major sticking point has dogged us from early on. I am 19 years younger than Kevin and very outgoing. I enjoy spending time with friends and socializing. I understand that when one is in a relationship, time spent with friends is reduced. However, if I become friends with someone, Kevin will find something wrong with the person, make unkind comments about them to me and make me feel guilty for wanting to be with them. It could be the person is too loud, too opinionated, has different eating habits than his, etc. The friend’s gender or sexual orientation has no bearing. I have had to forgo friendships over the years because it’s just easier to do that than to argue. I love being with Kevin, but

I’m not sure what I can do to resolve this challenge. He doesn’t feel a need to change. What should I do? — “DAN” IN PITTSBURGH DEAR “DAN”: Start by recognizing that what Kevin is doing may be a reflection of his insecurity. The more time you spend with someone else, the less you spend with him. He doesn’t feel a need to change because his nitpicking has been successful in diverting you from these friendships. Try this: The next time you become friendly with someone and Kevin starts putting the person down, don’t take the bait. Tell him he’s entitled to his opinion and if he’d like to join you, he is welcome. If not, you’ll see him later. It may help you to establish some independence. Mature adults can do that and still have a healthy relationship. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Odds and ends CHESTER, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey farmer has cut the faces of Republican Gov. Chris Christie and his Democratic challenger into a corn maze to highlight the state’s gubernatorial election. The corn was planted in June at the Stony Hill Farm in Chester. Owner Dale Davis tells Newark’s The StarLedger newspaper he chose the maze to get people interested. He says everybody recognizes Christie but he doesn’t know whether a lot of people would recognize gubernatorial rival Sen. Barbara Buono. Christie is far ahead of Buono in public polls and leads among nearly every demographic group. He’s seen as a viable contender for the 2016 Republican nomination for president. The Morris County maze will open to the paying public Aug. 31. The election is Nov. 5.

Wild pitches aid in Reds’ win CINCINNATI (AP) — Before the game, Dusty Baker didn’t know who his closer would be. The Cincinnati Reds manager’s eventual choice turned out just right. Sam LeCure overcame two ninth-inning hits and earned the save in the Reds’ 2-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday. Shin-Soo Choo scored the decisive run in the eighth inning on Arizona’s fourth wild pitch of the game. Choo scored both Cincinnati runs, helping the Reds to their third win in the fourgame series. Cincinnati (73-55) improved to a season-high 18 games over .500 and increased its lead over Arizona to seven games in the race for the National League’s second wildcard playoff spot. Choo singled to lead off the eighth against reliever Eury De La Rosa (0-1) and moved to second when De La Rosa’s pickoff attempt rolled away from first baseman Paul Goldschmidt. Todd Frazier sacrificed Choo to third, and Choo scored when ball four to Joey Votto was a wild pitch. Mat Latos (13-4) went eight innings and earned the win, despite getting sick before he took the mound. In his previous three starts, Latos had received only five runs of offensive support. Baker was forced to use his closer Aroldis Chapman for two innings Wednesday night, making him unavailable Thursday. So LeCure was given the chance to earn his first

major league save. “Sam is our utility guy,” Baker said. “He can go long or short. He has a lot of guts.” Latos made the most of two runs on Thursday, allowing just one run and five hits to Arizona. Latos struck out seven, didn’t walk anyone, and hit one batter with a pitch. “I was sick right before the first inning,” said Latos, who couldn’t even keep water down. “I was sick again in the fifth inning. It’s gone now but I didn’t have anything left in the tank.” Latos managed to save the bullpen. “Latos gave us what we wanted,” Baker said. “A security guard told me he was vomiting underneath the stands.” Arizona starter Trevor Cahill, in his second start since coming off the disabled list, allowed four hits and one run. He walked three, struck out seven and threw three wild pitches — all in the third inning. “He struggled that inning,” Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. “They scored two runs on four wild pitches and an error. It’s very frustrating, disappointing.” Cahill allowed two hits but still faced the minimum 12 batters over his final four innings, with help from a caught stealing and a double-play ball. In the third, the Reds put runners on second and third with one out. Brandon Phillips cashed in the opportunity with a run-scoring groundout for a 1-0 lead. Cahill entered the

game with 11 wild pitches this season, and now has a major league-high 14. The Diamondbacks took a more conventional route in getting even 1-1 in fourth. Adam Eaton and Goldschmidt led off with singles, Arizona’s first hits off of Latos. Martin Prado hit into a double play, but Aaron Hill rapped a sharp one-hopper that third baseman Frazier couldn’t handle. Hill was credited with a run-scoring infield hit. LeCure told himself he need-

ed three outs like any other inning. “I didn’t want to even let myself think of being the closer. I knew there was a possibility,” LeCure said. “Chapman is our closer but I did tell him to watch out.” Baker selected LeCure because he is fearless. “He doesn’t have the best stuff, but he’s not afraid,” Baker said. “Sam was the best man. He knows how to pitch. I knew he wouldn’t get rattled if there

were runners on.” NOTES: Cincinnati RHP Jonathan Broxton is expected to have surgery after he was placed on the disabled list with a strained right forearm. … The Reds moved RHP Johnny Cueto to the 60-day disabled list to open a roster spot for RHP Nick Christiani, who was called up from Triple-A Louisville. … RHP Homer Bailey (8-10) is due to start at home for the Reds against Milwaukee tonight.

Jacket booters fall to Davidson

Sidney hosted a strong Hilliard Davidson team in boys soccer action Thursday and lost 5-0 to drop to 0-2 on the young season. Sidney lost to another talented team, Beavercreek, on Tuesday in the opener. “I would have to say that Davidson is better than Beavercreek,” said Sidney coach Eric Harlamert. “They are very good, a big-time D-I school out of Columbus. But that’s why we have them on our schedule. We can learn from a game like this.” Harlamert s aid Davidson’s speed was too much for his squad. “Their speed of play, their changing field, was really fast,”he said. “And SDN Photo | Luke Gronneberg they could shoot.

a young team. Davidson started five seniors. So we’re trying to learn from them before getting into league play.” Sidney is back in action on Tuesday at Wayne. The Sidney junior varsity team also lost to Davidson, 3-0. Botkins, WL tie 0-0 WEST LIBERTY — Botkins traveled to West Liberty-Salem for its boys soccer season opener Thursday and the two teams tied 0-0. “We played a good first half, controlled the ball. But for some reason we didn’t do that in the second half,” said Botkins coach Kevin Lynch. Botkins wound up with six shots on goal, and keeper Christian Hoskins finished with eight saves for the Trojans. Lady Jackets lose 1-0 BEAVERCREEK — Sidney High’s girls took

on one of the area’s best Wednesday night in high school girls soccer, and came out on the short end of a 1-0 score in action at Beavercreek. Despite the loss, which left the Lady Jackets at 1-1, head coach Stacey Goffena was pleased with her team’s performance. “We had a few opportunities and had a corner kick at the end,” she said. “Beavercreek is a powerhouse and we hung and played hard. But we gave up 12 corner kicks and when you give up that many, you can’t win.” One of those corner kicks led to the only goal of the game, coming with just 8:55 remaining in the contest. “Our defense was phenomenal,” said Goffena. “Kaitlyn Davis, Jenna Foster-Wheeler and Jenna’s sister Lauryn played great. And (goalie)

Lindsey Sturwold had the game of her life. She had 14 saves and just played an outstanding game. Beavercreek also won the junior varsity game 3-0. Botkins ties in opener ZANESFIELD — Botkins and Ben Logan tied 1-1 in the season opener Tuesday for the Lady Trojans. Botkins fell behind 1-0, but with 10 minutes left in the first half, Natalie Ambos scored from 30 yards out, with an assist from Whitney Bornhorst. Michaela Kremer just missed the go-ahead goal in the second half when her long-range shot went off the post. She led the Lady Trojans with six steals, and keeper Kierstyn Rogers had three saves.

The Lady Flyers responded, however, taking the next two, both nailbiters, 25-23, 16-14. “I’m just ecstatic with the way our girls played,” said Jackson Center coach Kim Metz. “We were a little hot and cold during preseason, but to come out and play like they did against a team like Marion was great to see.” Haley Elchert had 16 kills to lead Jackson on offense, Erin Metz had 12, and both Pauline Meyer and Cassie Meyer had 10 kills each.

Mitchell represents the latest Texas-sized coup for the Buckeyes. Fans can start by thanking Mike, who was rated by Rivals.com as the top football recruit in Texas. The older Mitchell had been working with OSU basketball coach Thad Matta to get his brother — a prospect even more touted in hoops circles than Mike was as a football player — to join him in Columbus. “I’ve talked to Thad, and we’ve both talked about us wanting him here,” Mitchell said

recently. “It would be cool to have my brother here at the same college.” Mickey, who missed his sophomore season with a torn ACL, is ranked the No. 15 overall prospect in the Class of 2015 by Scout.com and 20th overall by Rivals. $3.1 million payout Ohio State will pay more than $3 million to Buffalo, San Diego State and Florida A&M to come to Ohio Stadium for games against the Buckeyes this fall. Through a request from The Associated

Press, Ohio State’s athletic department released figures that show it is paying Buffalo $1 million to be the opposition in the Aug. 31 opener, San Diego State $1.2 million to play in the game on Sept. 7 and FAMU, a Football Championship Subdivision opponent, $900,000 to come to Columbus for the game on Sept. 21. The Buckeyes’ other non-conference game is at California on Sept. 14. Ohio State’s eight Big Ten games do not require a guaranteed contract.

Hernandez indicted for murder ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) — Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was indicted Thursday on first-degree murder and weapons charges in the death of a friend whose bulletriddled body was found in an industrial park about a mile from the ex-player’s home. The six-count grand jury indictment charges Hernandez with killing 27-year-old Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player from Boston who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s girlfriend. Hernandez, 23, pleaded not guilty to murder and weapons charges in June, and he is being held without bail. He had a brief court appearance in Attleboro on Thursday afternoon. Afterward, his attorney Michael Fee said the defense was pleased to be on a path to a jury trial and was looking forward to testing the prosecution’s evidence. “There has been an incredible rush to judgment in this case,” and the state doesn’t have enough evidence to prove the charges, he said.

Hernandez last summer signed a contract worth $40 million but was cut by the Patriots within hours of his June 26 arrest, when police led the handcuffed athlete from his home as news cameras rolled. He could face life in prison if convicted. The Bristol County grand jury also indicted two others in the case: Hernandez associate Ernest Wallace and Hernandez’s cousin Tanya Singleton. Wallace is charged with accessory to murder after the fact. Prosecutors have said he was with Hernandez the night Lloyd died. Singleton is charged with criminal contempt for refusing to testify before the grand jury, Bristol County District Attorney Samuel Sutter said. She has been jailed since Aug. 1. A recent affidavit said that, after Lloyd’s killing, Singleton bought Wallace a bus ticket. Carlos Ortiz, who faces a weapons charge connected to the case, was not indicted. Sutter said Hernandez’s arraignment in Superior Court, where the case now moves, could come

next week. A jogger found Lloyd’s body on June 17 in a North Attleborough industrial park. Lloyd’s mother, Ursula Ward, called him a loving son who never hurt anyone. Prosecutors say Hernandez orchestrated Lloyd’s killing because he was upset at him for talking to people Hernandez had problems with at a nightclub days earlier. They say Hernandez, Wallace and Ortiz picked Lloyd up at his home in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood early on June 17 and drove to the industrial park. Shortly before Lloyd’s death, authorities say, he sent his sister text messages asking if she had seen who he was with. “NFL,” he wrote. “Just so you know.” Moments later, authorities say, Lloyd was dead after gunshots rang out near a warehouse after he apparently got out of the car for what he thought was a bathroom break. Authorities have not said who fired the shots, but according to court documents released in Florida, Ortiz told police that Wallace said it was Hernandez.

In this Feb. 24, 2012 file photo, Milwaukee Brewers’ Ryan Braun speaks during a news conference at spring training baseball in Phoenix. Braun stood on a spring training field and proclaimed he was innocent of using banned testosterone. Braun has finally admitted taking performance-enhancing drugs during his NL MVP season of 2011.

Braun finally admits drug use in 2011 By Associated Press

A month after acknowledging only that he made “mistakes,” Ryan Braun admitted taking performance-enhancing drugs during his NL MVP season of 2011. The suspended Milwaukee slugger said he took a cream and a lozenge containing banned substances while rehabilitating an injury. “It was a huge mistake for which I am deeply ashamed and I compounded the situation by not admitting my mistakes immediately,” Braun said in a statement released by the Brewers. Braun tested positive for elevated testosterone in October 2011, but his 50-game suspension was overturned when an arbitrator ruled that the urine sample was mishandled. While Braun took full responsibility for his actions and apologized to the collector of the urine sample, teammates and Commissioner Bud Selig among others, the statement still leaves several key questions unanswered. Among them: Who gave Braun the PEDs and where did they come from? What was the exact substance in the products? Did he know the cream and lozenge were tainted at the time he took them? Last month Braun accepted a 65-game suspension resulting from Major League Baseball’s investigation of the now-closed Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic, which was accused of providing banned substances to players.. “By coming forward when I did and waiving my right to appeal any sanctions that were going to be imposed, I knew I was making the correct decision

and taking the first step in the right direction. It was important to me to begin my suspension immediately to minimize the burden on everyone I had so negatively affected — my teammates, the entire Brewers organization, the fans and all of MLB.” Braun was the first of 14 players disciplined this year as a result of the Biogenesis probe. Twelve accepted 50-game penalties, including a trio of All-Stars: Texas outfielder Nelson Cruz, Detroit shortstop Jhonny Peralta and San Diego shortstop Everth Cabrera. Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez is appealing his 211-game penalty, assessed for violations of the drug program and labor contract. In his initial meeting with MLB investigators to discuss Biogenesis, Braun declined to answer questions. But in the statement, he said he initiated a second session with MLB where he admitted his guilt and began discussing a penalty. “After my interview with MLB in late June of this year, I came to the realization that it was time to come to grips with the truth,” he said. “I was never presented with baseball’s evidence against me, but I didn’t need to be, because I knew what I had done.” Braun’s urine tested positive for elevated testosterone from a sample collected on Saturday, Oct. 1, 2011, after Milwaukee’s NL division series opener against Arizona. The drug collector, Dino Laurenzi Jr., stored the samples from Braun and two other players at home and dropped them off at a Federal Express office on Monday, rather than send them immediately, as specified in baseball’s drug collection rules.

Alfonso Soriano, New York The prodigal Yankee began the week 0-for-3 and ended with an 0-for-6, but in between he smashed AL pitching at a 15-for-22 clip with five home runs and 18 RBIs over a five-game span. In only 21 games in pinstripes this season, Soriano is tied for fifth on the team in homers and seventh in RBIs.

Chris Sale, Chicago Chicago’s ace has pitched in tough luck all season with very little run support. But last week, the lineup gave him a few runs and he made them stand up in wins over Detroit and Minnesota. For the week, Sale was 2-0 with 14 strikeouts, one walk and a 2.81 ERA.

Will Venable, San Diego The Princeton alum has been one of the Padres’ hottest hitters of late, and that continued last week. He ended the week with a .406 average, which was boosted by a 4-for5 performance on Saturday and a walk-off home run on Sunday.

• Naming Alfonso Soriano our American League Player of the Week is really quite a nobrainer. Last week he was otherworldly hot for the Yankees. Among his recent accomplishments was becoming just the third player in history with 10 or more hits, four or more home runs and 14-plus RBIs in a three-game span. You may remember that Shawn Green did that with the Dodgers in May 2002. But kudos if you knew that Hal Trosky pulled that off with the Indians in September 1936, a year in which he led the AL with 162 RBIs. • Last season the Baltimore Orioles were terrific in one-run games, a key to their first postseason appearance in more than a decade. Closer Jim Johnson was a vital piece of the bullpen in 2012 when he blew just three save opportunities in 54 chances. This season has been a much different story for the Orioles and Johnson. Baltimore is struggling in close games, and Johnson has blown three consecutive save chances twice this season. • Very little has gone right for manager Mike Scioscia and the Los Angeles Angels this season. After underachieving last year, the Halos are 7.5 games worse at the same point this season. Among the notable troubles have been a potential season-ending injury to Albert Pujols last month and Mike Trout’s recent hamstring injury. Starter Jerome Williams now owns the longest string of games started without a win — now at 12 starts. His last win came on June 12 in Baltimore.

Byron Buxton, Minnesota Recently rated the No. 1 prospect in baseball by MLB.com, the center fielder hit .341 in 68 games this season at Low-A Cedar Rapids before his promotion to High-A Fort Myers.

August 24, 1989 MLB Commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti, convinced that Cincinnati Reds manager Pete Rose bet on baseball games, even ones involving his Reds, bans the all-time hit king from baseball for life. The expulsion negates Rose’s eligibility for election into the Baseball Hall of Fame. August 13, 2006 For the first time in baseball history, a 300-game winner faces a batter who has hit 700 home runs as 328-game winner Greg Maddux of the Dodgers pitches to Barry Bonds (723 homers) of San Francisco. Maddux wins the battle, holding Bonds to 0-for-2 with a walk in eight shutout innings.

Best Contracts in Baseball Last week I ranked the worst contracts in the game from the teams’ perspectives. As more teams are signing their younger stars to long-term contracts, there are many more quality deals. Think in terms of what these current deals mean going forward, not any previous years that may have been on current deals. 1. Chris Sale (4, $30.65 million plus $12.5 and $13.5 million options with $1 million buyouts*) The lanky lefty is guaranteed a tad less than $32 million over the next four seasons. His violent delivery and slight build cause some concern for injury, but he’s currently one of the most dependable starters in the AL. His 9-11 record is certainly deceiving. He has 175 strikeouts and has allowed just 177 walks plus hits. 2. Andrew McCutchen (4, $44.25 million plus $14.75M/$1M option/buyout) A virtual lock to win an MVP over the next five seasons, the fleet center fielder is the complete package with a 50% off price tag. 3. Yu Darvish (4, $41 million) Perhaps due to a high posting fee, the Rangers were able to negotiate a palatable deal that pays the ace just $41 million through 2017. 4. Buster Posey (8, $156 million) From $3.78 million this season, to $11.28 mil next season, his salary jumps to more than $17 million. But one of the best players in the game is worth top dollar, and he’s a little shy of top dollar. At age 34, he’ll make $21.4 million and likely be a full-time first baseman by then. 5. Allen Craig (4, $28.25 million, plus $13M/1M option buyout) While not the entire package of McCutchen, Craig is an RBI machine and key in the middle of the St. Louis lineup and versatile enough to play

first and both corner outfield spots. The Cardinals will pay him less than $30 million for the next four seasons of production. For good measure, since Albert Pujols left St. Louis, Craig has 180 RBIs and 141 runs. Pujols has 169 and 134 with the Angels. 6. Hyun-Jim Ryu (5, $32.7 million) The lefty from Korea has proven he belongs near the top of the Dodgers’ rotation, but won’t be paid that way at least through 2018 when his salary will be as low as $7.83 million. 7. Sal Perez (3, $5.25 million, plus $14.75 million in options over three years) How about $5.25 million for the next three seasons total and a $3.75 million option for 2017? The beauty of this contract is that the final three years are club options with no buyout. 8. Evan Longoria (9, $124 million, plus $13M/$5M option/buyout) The face of the Rays’ franchise will make just $7.5 million next season. The earliest Longo could be a free agent is 2023. And he tops out at $19.5 million in 2022. 9. Matt Moore (3, $9 million, plus options totaling $26 million over three years) The Rays bought out his pre-arbitration years and his salary increases each year to $5 million in 2016. Not bad. 10. Yasiel Puig (5, $34.57 million) Okay, so this may be beginners’ luck, or just that the rest of the league hasn’t adjusted yet, but Puig is a star in the making and hauling in less than $26 million through 2017. 11. Miguel Cabrera (2, $44 million) Miggy is the best hitter on the planet, but not yet paid as such. The Tigers owe him just $22 million in each of the next two seasons. The fact that this deal is for only two more seasons keeps it from ranking higher on the list.

Athlon Sports

Evan Longoria of Tampa Bay (left), and Andrew McCutchen of the Pirates have become the faces of their respective franchises, and at very affordable rates.

12. Dustin Pedroia (8, $109 million) The former MVP (and perennial candidate) will top out at just $16 million during the duration of this deal. The diminishing salary over the last three years will prevent this contract from becoming an albatross.

15. Madison Bumgarner (4, $31.75 million, plus two $12 million options and a $1.5 million buyout) The All-Star lefthander will make a tad less than four million next season, under seven million the year after and less than $10 million in 2016.

13. Joey Votto (10, $218 million, plus $20M/$7M option/buyout) The best pure hitter in the National League is locked up through 2023 when he’ll be 39. For the immediate future, the Reds have a reasonable run of salaries of 12, 14, 20, 22 and 25, which remains his top salary for the duration of the deal.

16. Paul Goldschmidt (5, $30 million, plus $14.5M/$2M option/buyout)

14. Glen Perkins (2, $7.5 million, plus $4.5M/300K option/buyout) The Twins’ closer is earning a solid reputation and will earn just $7.5 million in 2014 and 2015 combined. He’s one of only eight closers with 25 or more saves with a 90 percent or better close rate.

Can you name the pitcher who leads the National League in wins and innings pitched since the beginning of the 2006 season?

40363028

• One clear reason the Atlanta Braves have such a commanding lead in the National League East is their dominance of the Washington Nationals this season. The teams still have three games remaining at Washington, but Atlanta has won 12 of the 16 they’ve played so far this season. The Braves’ pitchers have dominated Washington hitters. The staff has a 2.06 ERA and is holding the Nationals to a .205 batting average. Only twice have the Nats plated more than three runs in a game. Once was an 8-7 Nationals win in 15 innings, the other was a 6-4 Braves win in 10 innings.

Alfonso Soriano

Magic number is already 24. Hot doesn’t begin to describe the men in blue. 20-5 when Max Scherzer starts. 12 games better than this point last season. Haven’t lost two in a row since July 28. Lost seven of last nine, three of them in extra innings. Cold doesn’t begin to describe the men in red. Floundering at an even .500 (14-14) since the All-Star break. Left side of the infield batted .395 last week. Bullpen is 2-0 with five saves and 12 holds in August. Only one game in August without a home run. A-Rod, Yankees soap opera continues. Just three games left with Tigers. Billy Butler, Eric Hosmer batting .338, slugging .524 in August. Have five pitchers with at least two saves. Tough season to end Davey Johnson’s career. Have just four multi-homer games since June 28. Can Felix Hernandez win the Cy Young award? 7.5 games back of Yankees with seven of next 10 games vs. N.Y. 15-13 so far vs. five likely NL playoff teams. Have 13 losses when they allow three runs or fewer. Losing record against all four division rivals. Bullpen has logged third-most innings, owns fifth-best ERA. 12 games worse than at this point of 2012 title season. Haven’t won back-to-back games since All-Star break. 13-14 since Ryan Braun’s suspension. Ended the week a season-low 17 games below .500. 17.5 games worse than this point last season. 33-34 over last two-and-a-half months. Enjoying a one-and-a-half game improvement vs. last season.

Avg. .500 .418 .417 .415 .414 .383 .379 .377 .377 .375 Slg. .823 .776 .772 .767 .754 .692 .683 .683 .656 .654 ERA 0.81 0.90 0.90 1.23 1.29 WHIP 0.658 0.762 0.773 0.802 0.826

TRIVIA ANSWER: It may be difficult to believe, but since being traded to the Reds for Wily Mo Pena in March 2006, Bronson Arroyo leads the senior circuit with 102 wins and 1,644 innings pitched.

Cole Hamels, Philadelphia The 2013 season has not been one to remember for Hamels — or his team — but the lefthander had two memorable starts last week. He pitched a complete game at Atlanta and tossed seven strong innings in a win over the Dodgers as the Phillies defeated two of the hottest teams in baseball.

Civil rights includes gays 50 years after march

Brett Zongker Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Months before Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” declaration galvanized a quarter-million people at the 1963 March on Washington, Bayard Rustin was planning all the essential details to keep the crowd orderly and engaged. Rustin, who died in 1987, is sometimes forgotten in civil rights history. As a Quaker and pacifist, he was often an outcast. Perhaps most notably, he was gay in an era when same-sex relations were widely reviled in American society. He served as chief strategist for King’s march, over the objections of some leaders — but he was kept mostly in the background, with some organizers considering him a liability. At the commemorations for King’s march 50 years later, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people will be included like never before in a sign of the civil rights movement’s broad evolution. Rustin also will be honored with a Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama. “In ‘63, we didn’t talk about gays,” said the Rev. Al Sharpton, who was joined by gay and lesbian activists in announcing plans for the gatherings scheduled Aug. 24-28 in Washington. “Bayard Rustin had to take a back seat. Gay and lesbian leadership stands with us and will be speaking this time.” Groups plan to bus in gay and lesbian participants from Baltimore, New York, Philadelphia, North Carolina and beyond. The planning groups include the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, the National Black Justice Coalition and the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest gay rights group, as well as labor and teachers unions. The Rev. MacArthur Flournoy, who directs faith partnerships and mobilizing at the Human Rights Campaign, said the inclusion of gay rights in the larger civil rights movement has been transformative. “We see human rights and civil rights as linked. And so our commitment is to stand with others on issues of justice and, really, on issues of equality,” he said. “LGBT equality, in our minds, is consistent with many other justice issues, so it’s important that we’re present.” Gay rights advocates credit Sharpton and leaders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People with overcoming divisions among AfricanAmerican groups, some of which remain socially conservative. Gay issues can be divisive, especially in black churches. King’s daughter, the Rev. Bernice King, has spoken out in the past against gay marriage, while her late mother, Coretta Scott King, was an ardent gay rights supporter. The pace of change in views among civil rights leaders has been surprising, said Taylor Branch, a historian who has written extensively on the civil rights movement. It reflects the broad impact of the 1960s call for equal citizenship, which led to movements for the rights of women, the environment, disabled people and eventually for gays. “Once people really started confronting

their fears and what does equal citizenship mean and why aren’t we fairer to this group or that group, it sparked all kinds of questions like that,” Branch said. The inclusion of gay rights marks an evolution in how Americans think about civil rights as rights pertaining to citizenship, Branch said. “It’s a step in maturity beyond trying to say this is just about us and race relations,” Branch said. “I think acknowledging the larger impact doesn’t diminish the movement. It actually shows how important it was in opening other doors then and maybe still now.” Civil rights veteran Julian Bond, who helped establish the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in the 1960s, said there has been a “shift in consciousness” among AfricanAmericans. For 11 years as NAACP chairman, Bond said he never pushed the organization to take a stand on gay marriage because he feared he would lose if the issue was put to a vote. Then in May 2012, shortly after Obama announced his support for same-sex marriage, the organization’s board voted to support gay marriage rights. “Civil marriage is a civil right and a matter of civil law,” the group announced, citing the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause. In a written statement to The Associated Press, NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Jealous said a broader coalition is needed to fight the civil rights battles of the 21st century. “Last century we needed lawyers; this century we need big, broad coalitions,” he said. “When extremists decide to attack all our communities, they must hope that there will be infighting. But we have stood all for one and one for all. That is how we will win.” For LGBT people, the fight is not yet over for the values of equality King stood for, said Darlene Nipper of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. Most states ban gay marriage and other civil rights for gay couples. As a black woman and lesbian, Nipper said she will be able to bring her whole self to the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, now that the gay rights movement is not a separate cause pushed to the side. “It’s just a powerful, palpable, beautiful progression toward the kind of society that Martin Luther King Jr. talked about when he was talking about that truly beloved community,” she said. “That’s really reflective of inclusion for all of us.” While Rustin was kept out of public view 50 years ago at the march, Flournoy and other gay rights advocates said they plan to speak at this year’s gatherings. There will also be special events at Washington’s Lincoln Theatre and at the Human Rights Campaign headquarters to honor Rustin’s memory. And Rustin will be honored later this year at the White House. “It’s going to be a watershed moment,” said Sharon LettmanHicks of the National Black Justice Coalition, which is dedicated to LGBT people of color. “But the work is not done.” ——— Associated Press writer Suzanne Gamboa contributed to this report from Washington.
