Obama defends phone surveillance

BY JOSH LEDERMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama vigorously defended the government’s newly disclosed collection of massive amounts of information from phone and internet records on Friday as a necessary defense against terrorism, and assured Americans, “Nobody is listening to your telephone calls.”

“We have to make choices as a society,”

Obama said in his first remarks about revelations of the huge scope of government surveillance. “It’s important to recognize that you can’t have 100 percent security and also then have 100 percent privacy and zero inconvenience.”

It was revealed late Wednesday that the National Security Agency has been collecting the phone records of hundreds of millions of U.S. phone customers. The leaked

document first reported by the Guardian newspaper gave the NSA authority to collect from all of Verizon’s land and mobile customers, but intelligence experts said the program swept up the records of other phone companies too. Another secret program revealed Thursday scours the Internet usage of foreign nationals overseas who use any of nine U.S.-based internet providers such as Microsoft and Google.

Obama, responding to questions at a health care event in San Jose, Calif., said safeguards are in place.

“They help us prevent terrorist attacks,” Obama said of the surveillance programs. He said he has concluded that prevention is worth the “modest encroachments on privacy.”

Obama said he came into office with a “healthy skepticism” of the program and increased some of the “safeguards” on the

programs. He said Congress and federal judges have oversight on the program, and a judge would have to approve monitoring of the content of a call and it’s not a “program run amok.”

“If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress and don’t trust federal judges to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution, due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some prob-

lems here,” the president said.

Declaring that “nobody is listening to your telephone calls,” he said government officials are “”looking at phone numbers and durations of calls.”

“They are not looking at people’s names and they are not looking at content.

But by sifting through this so-called metadata they might identify potential See Obama/Page 2

PIQUA — This summer marks the first free Reading Intervention Program,

which partners Piqua City Schools and Piqua Public Library, to encourage children to read over the summer months.

“The program engages kids in a fun and motiva-

environment,” tional Dwayne Thompson, director of curriculum and instruction at Piqua City Schools, said. “It will keep kids reading books throughout the summer.”

More than 100 students K-3 were invited to participate in this program.

These invites were based on data collected during the 2012-2013 school year and teacher recommendations.

The first session runs from June 3-28 and the second session runs from July 8 to Aug. 1. The children attend the program two days per week in either a morning or afternoon session.

An hour is spent on reading instruction that works to help develop specific skills, as well as guided reading time. Multiple teachers are volunteering their time to spend working with these children and give them individualized attention to reinforce the child’s reading skills.

Both Paul Kite and Tricia Zimmerman are two such educators, who wanted to be involved with the program, because of the importance of early childhood reading.

After the hourly session, the children are led by their teacher to the children’s library, where they participate in a fun activity with one of the department staff or volunteers.

Nancy Spillane, director of the library’s children’s department, led the children in a timed backpack packing game, which is one of 32 different ‘chose your adventure’ activities that will occur over the course of the summer.

Parents meet their child in the children’s department and help their child find a book or two to check out and take home, at the conclusion of the session.

Though the Reading Intervention Program is separate from the Piqua Public Library summer reading programs, the children have the opportunity to sign up for a library card.

“The hope is that the children will choose to See Reading/Page 2

PIQUA — The Piqua Underground Utilities Department will begin the annual fire hydrant flushing program on Monday, June 10.

Hydrant flushing will take place Monday through Thursday between 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

The program may take up to two weeks to complete.

The primary purpose of this program is to verify the proper operation of the city’s fire hydrants through periodic inspections, flow testing, and preventative maintenance. Secondarily, a pro-active hydrant

flushing program is the key to mitigating water quality related aesthetic problems by removing accumulated iron and manganese mineral deposits from the water line.

Fire hydrant flushing may cause temporary inconveniences such as a reduction in water pressure and aesthetic issues such as discoloration of the drinking water. Discolored water poses no threat to the public’s health, but it will stain laundry and if consumed may have an unpleasant taste.

Residents should be certain

all discolored water is out of their home’s plumbing and hot water heater prior to laundering clothes or drinking. In the event that clothes become discolored due to the flushing operations, do not place the clothes in the dryer. A commercial fabric rust removal detergent is available at the Piqua Underground Utilities Department, 123 Bridge St., Piqua.

Although residents may experience some temporary inconveniences, the flushing program is necessary to maintain a good water supply for both firefight-

ing and domestic purposes. Your cooperation with this program is appreciated.

If you continue to notice discolored water coming from your fixture please flush the cold water side for approximately five minutes. If the discoloration persists, please feel free to contact the Piqua Underground Utilities Department at 7782018, ext. 4. Additional questions regarding this program may be directed to Todd Brandenburg, Underground Utilities Department superintendent, at 778-2018 ext. 1.

In Brief PIQUA — The Piqua Board of Education will conduct an executive session at 6:30 p.m. Monday in board offices, 719 E. Ash St. On the agenda is a discussion concerning the search for a district treasurer. No action will be taken.

Authorities with the Miami County Sheriff ’s Office said Hall and Locker knew the female victim they allegedly raped, and that the victim arrived at the bike path with the two suspects prior to the assault.

“They were known associates (of the victim) that arrived there together so we don’t have any strangers or a couple of people who were targeting the bike path,” confirmed sheriff’s Lt. Steve Lord.

Police reports state the physical location of the alleged sexual assault as 9225 N. State Route 66 along the bike path.

Neither suspect has

sexual criminal history and both were arrested without incident.

Both were described by Lord as “cooperative” during their police interviews with detectives. rape charge The against both men will be presented to a Miami County grand jury, according to the sheriff’s office.

If convicted as charged the men face a maximum term of one decade in jail and will be ordered to register as a sex offender for either the next 15 years, 25 years or for the rest of their lives.

The men will next appear in court for their preliminary hearings June 11.

Continued from page 1 leads of people who might engage in terrorism,” Obama said.

The president’s remarks followed an unlate-night usual statement Thursday from Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who denounced the leaks of highly classified documents that revealed the programs and warned that America’s security will suffer. He called the disclosure of a program that targets foreigners’ Internet use “reprehensible,” and said the leak of another program that lets the government collect Americans’ phone records would change America’s enemies behavior and make it harder to understand their intentions.

“The unauthorized disclosure of a top secret U.S. court document threatens potentially long-lasting and irreversible harm to our ability to identify and respond to the many threats facing our nation,” Clapper said of the phone-tracking program.

At the same time, Clapper offered new information about the secret programs.

“I believe it is important for the American people to understand the limits of this targeted procounterterrorism gram and the principles that govern its use,” he said.

Among the previously classified information about the phone records collection that Clapper revealed: The program is conducted under authority granted by Congress and is authorized by the Foreign intelligence Surveillance Court which determines the legality of the program.

The government is prohibited from “indiscriminately sifting” through the data acquired. It can only be reviewed “when there is a reasonable suspicion, based on specific facts, that the particular basis for the query is associated with a foreign terrorist organization.”

He also said only counterterrorism personnel trained in the program may access the records.

The information acquired is overseen by the Justice Department and the FISA court. Only a very small fraction of the records are ever reviewed, he said.

The program is reviewed every 90 days.

The Obama administration’s defense of the two programs came as members of Congress were vowing to change a program they voted to authorize and exasperated civil liberties advocates were crying foul, questioning how Obama, a former constitutional scholar who sought privacy protections as a U.S. senator, could embrace policies aligned with

President George W. Bush, whose approach to national security he had vowed to leave behind.

Clapper alleged that articles about the Internet program “contain numerous inaccuracies.” He did not specify.

Senior administration officials defended the programs as critical tools and said the intelligence they yield is among the most valuable data the U.S. collects. Clapper said the Internet program, known as PRISM, can’t be used to intentionally target any Americans or anyone in the U.S, and that data accidentally collected about Americans is kept to a minimum.

Leaders of Congress’ intelligence panels dismissed the furor over what they said was standard three-month renewal to a program that’s operated for seven years.

Committee leaders also said the program recently helped thwart what would have been a significant domestic terrorist attack.

The NSA must collect the phone data in broad swaths, Clapper said, because collecting it narrowly would make it harder to identify terrorism-related communications.

But the widespread notion of a government dragnet ensnaring terror suspects and innocent Americans pushed typical political foes to stand

together against Obama as he enforces what many likened to Bushera policies. law-abiding “When Americans make phone calls, who they call, when they call and where they call from is private information,” said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore. “As a result of the disclosures that came to light today, now we’re going to have a real debate in the Congress and the country and that’s long overdue.”

Officials from Clapper’s office, the Justice Department, NSA and FBI briefed 27 senators for some two hours late Thursday at a hurriedly convened session prompted by severe criticism and uncertainty about the program.

“The National Security Agency’s seizure and surveillance of virtually all of Verizon’s phone customers is an astounding assault on the Constitution,” said Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. “After revelations that the Internal Revenue Service targeted political dissidents and the Department of Justice seized reporters’ phone records, it would appear that this administration has now sunk to a new low.”

Paul said he will introduce legislation ensuring that the Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches and seizures apply to government search of phone records.

U.S. economy added 175,000 jobs in May

BY PAUL WISEMAN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy added 175,000 jobs in May, a steady pace that shows strength in the face of tax increases and government spending cuts if not enough to reduce still-high unemployment.

The unemployment rate rose to 7.6 percent from 7.5 percent in April, the Labor Department said Friday. The rate rose because more people began looking for work, a healthy sign, but only about three-quarters found jobs.

Analysts said the lessthan-robust job growth would likely lead the Federal Reserve to maintain the pace of its monthly bond purchases for a few more months. The bond purchases have been intended to ease long-term borrowing costs and lift stock prices.

Investors appeared pleased by the evidence that job growth remains steady. The Dow Jones industrial average was up about 172 points in lateafternoon trading.

Friday’s job figures provided further evidence of the U.S. economy’s resilience. The housing market is strengthening, auto sales are up and consumer confidence has reached a five-year peak.

Stock prices are near record highs, and the budget deficit has shrunk.

The U.S. economy’s relative strength contrasts with Europe, which is gripped by recession, and Asia, where once-explosive economies are now struggling.

Many analysts expect the U.S. economy to strengthen later this year.

“Today’s report has to be encouraging for growth in the second half

of the year,” said Dan Greenhaus, an analyst at BTIG LLC. Employers have added an average of 155,000 jobs the past three months. But the May gain almost exactly matched the average increase of the previous 12 months: 172,000.

Reflecting a trend in recent months, many of the jobs added in May were lower-paying ones.

That means they aren’t likely to fuel as much consumer spending and economic growth as higher-paying jobs that have disappeared.

Yet Americans appear to be more optimistic about their job prospects: 420,000 people started looking for work in May. As a result, the percentage of Americans 16 and older either working or looking for work rose to 63.4 percent from a 34year low of 63.3 percent in April.

This is called the labor force participation rate.

Higher participation can boost the unemployment rate. That’s because once people without a job start looking for one, they’re counted as unemployed.

Labor force participation has been falling since peaking at 67.3 percent in 2000. That’s partly the result of baby boomers retiring and dropping out of the work force.

Joseph LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank (NYSE:DB) Securities, thinks an improving job market will encourage more Americans to look for jobs. He predicts that the participation rate will level off at around 63.5 percent.

The unemployment rate is derived from a survey of households. This survey found that more people started looking for work in May. Since some didn’t find jobs right away, the number of un-

employed rose 101,000 to 11.7 million.

The job gain for the month is calculated from a separate survey of employers.

Some signs in the report suggested that the spending government cuts, which began taking effect in March, and weak growth in much of the rest of the world are weighing on the U.S. job market. Weakness overseas has slowed demand for U.S. exports.

Manufacturers cut 8,000 jobs. The federal government, which is carrying out deep spending cuts in domestic and defense programs, shed 14,000. Both were the third straight month of cuts for those industries.

Over the past three months, the federal government has cut 45,000 jobs.

The number of temporary jobs rose about 26,000. The economy has now added temporary jobs for eight straight months. That suggests that employers are responding to more demand but aren’t confident enough to hire permanent workers.

Industries that rely directly on consumer spending hired at a healthy pace a sign of confidence that consumers will keep spending. Retailers added 28,000 jobs. Restaurants and hotels added 33,000.

These categories include many lower-paying occupations. By contrast, the recession sharply cut jobs in higher-paying industries such as manufacturing, construction and finance, which have yet to recover.

Mark Vitner, an economist at Wells Fargo, calculated that about 60 percent of the jobs created in May were in lower-paying fields. Even in a professional field such as health care, Vit-

ner noted that one of the biggest job creators was home health care services, where care providers earn about $10 an hour, according to government data.

“It’s hard to get meaningful income growth with these types of jobs,” Vitner said.

Rob McGahen, 29, has felt the trend personally.

After receiving his master’s in business administration in 2007, McGahen worked for Boeing (NYSE:BA) in St. Louis, buying parts for military planes.

Last year, after moving with his wife to Pensacola, Fla., McGahen sought work for about nine months. He settled for a part-time job in the produce section of Publix, a supermarket chain.

“It’s certainly not a long-term plan,” McGahen said. “But it keeps me busy. It keeps my skills from atrophying.”

Stock markets have gyrated in the past two weeks on speculation that the Fed would soon start to taper its $85 billion-amonth in bond buying a step that could raise rates and cause stock prices to fall.

“I think the Fed will stay on hold,” said Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS Global Insight. “They want to see numbers above 200,000 on payroll jobs on a consistent basis before they start to taper off.”

Behravesh said he

thinks the Fed will maintain its pace of bond buying through this year before scaling it back in 2014.

“Today’s report is perhaps the perfect number for nervous investors,” said James Marple, Senior Economist at TD Economics. “It is strong enough to point to continued economic recovery but not so strong as to bring forward expectations of Fed tapering.”

Other analysts who have predicted that the Fed would start trimming its bond purchases later this year said they didn’t think Friday’s jobs report would change that timetable.

John Canally, an economist at LPL Financial, blames the Federal Reserve for not specifying how much monthly job growth it wants to see before it scales back its bond buying.

“They have not been transparent enough,” Canally said. “That is what has unhinged markets.”

The Fed has been buying bonds to keep loan rates near record lows to encourage consumers and companies to buy and spend.

Low rates make investments that pay interest unattractive. As result, many investors have bought stocks instead. Money pouring into stocks drove

the Dow to a record high last month. Stocks have since slipped from their peaks but are still up more than 20 percent since November.

On Friday, the government also revised the job figures for April and March. The revisions were slight compared with recent months, when the government had significantly revised up its initial job estimates. April’s gain was lowered to 149,000 from 165,000. March’s was increased slightly to 142,000 from 138,000. The net loss was 12,000 jobs.

From June through August, employers added an average of 135,000 jobs a month. From September through November, they averaged 182,000. The average was 233,000 from December through February. In the past three months, job gains have averaged 155,000.

The economy grew at a solid annual rate of 2.4 percent in the first three months of the year. Consumer spending rose at the fastest pace in more than two years. But economists worry that the steep government spending cuts and higher Social Security taxes that started Jan. 1 might be slowing growth in the April-June quarter to an annual rate of 2 percent or less.

State Briefs New health plan comes with higher cost COLUMBUS (AP) — A state analysis finds that insurers planning to participate in the new health insurance exchange are projecting their costs to cover Ohioans to be significantly higher.

Ohio's Department of Insurance released preliminary details Thursday of the health plans seeking state approval to operate in the online marketplace created by the federal health care law.

The agency says individuals' premiums track very closely to insurers' costs.

Consumers can get private health insurance, subsidized by the government, through the exchange.

Open enrollment starts Oct. 1, and coverage takes effect Jan. 1, 2014.

The insurance department is still reviewing proposed rates. Fourteen companies, including Aetna and Medical Mutual of Ohio, have filed plans.

Gov. John Kasich chose to let the federal government operate the exchange, instead of the state setting up its own.

Man arrested for 1986 homicide TOLEDO (AP) — Authorities in northwest Ohio have made an arrest in a 1983 homicide.

The Lucas County prosecutor's office in Toledo says 56-year-old Andrew Gustafson of Birch Run, Mich., was arrested Thursday in Michigan on charges of murder and aggravated murder in the slaying of 19-year-old Janean Brown.

The case was reopened in 2011 based on advances in science. Assistant Lucas County Prosecutor Jeffrey Lingo declined to specify a motive or whether the advances in science involved DNA genetics.

According to WTOL-TV, the victim's body was found in a ditch southwest of Toledo on Nov. 19, 1983. Online court records show a man by the name of Andrew Gustafson lived in the area at the time of the killing.

Court records don't reflect an attorney for the suspect.

Boehner calls on Obama for NSA explanation WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker John Boehner is calling on President Barack Obama to explain why the data-collecting tools used by the National Security Agency are necessary.

Boehner also won't say whether he was briefed or knew about the program.

Boehner responded to the publication of a top secret court order for telephone records of millions of U.S. customers of Verizon. The Ohio Republican says he's confident that House and Senate intelligence committees are providing oversight of the NSA. But he says it's time for Obama to "outline the issues" and explain why such tools are critical.

He says Congress will look at any policy and privacy concerns of citizens.

The Obama administration has defended the NSA's activities, calling them important and saying they were approved by all three branches of government.

Farm animals found hurt or dead OXFORD (AP) — Some residents of a rural southwestern Ohio farming community say they are spooked after a number of farm animals were hurt or have turned up dead under suspicious circumstances.

It's happening in Butler County, northwest of Cincinnati, amid rolling farm fields of sprouting corn and soybean plants.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that two miniature horses were found dead this week in a field after disappearing last month. That pasture borders a field where four sheep were found hacked to death, and two horses and four more sheep were severely injured in May. The Butler County Sheriff's Office is investigating, but detectives say they don't know if the incidents are linked.

Neighbors say they think a person — not a predator — attacked the animals.

State turns over lakefront parks to Cleveland COLUMBUS (AP) — The state of Ohio is officially turning over a string of Lake Erie parks to the city of Cleveland.

Gov. John Kasich is joining Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson and other officials Thursday to sign documents that will seal the transfer of the waterfront recreational areas.

State lawmakers this year decided to let the city take over Cleveland Lakefront State Park, a string of six parks along the lakeshore beset with maintenance and crime problems. Cleveland Metroparks will now manage the properties.

The bill in the Ohio Legislature terminated a 50-year lease between Cleveland and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. It also authorized the state to spend $14 million as part of the agreement.

“But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33 AKJV)

Commentary

Longing for past his is how strange contemporary Washington has become: In the Senate — the less combative branch of congressional Republicanism — John McCain, the self-proclaimed maverick who once nearly was invited to join a Democratic national ticket, and Susan Collins, the Maine moderate who often sides with Democrats — are regarded, and sometimes disparaged, as the Republican Old Guard.

Of course, this does not mean that the GOP has drifted leftward. On the contrary. It means that all the assumptions once brought to bear on congressional Republicans are out of date. Dead. Relegated to the deep, dark past.

This spring these two occasional renegades found themselves in the role of Old Guardians by virtue of their longevity (McCain has been on Capitol Hill for 30 years, Collins nearly as long, if her years as a congressional aide are counted), and guardians of party tradition by virtue of their temperament (which is to say accommodating, though they delight in being unpredictable in whom they might accommodate).

But these days, an accommodating temperament and longevity are passe,so these two onetime rebels found themselves at the ramparts over discussions about (and this is the remarkable thing) whether discussions should even be held over debt limit and budget issues.It is probably not necessary to add that yet another budget crisis looms.

For 10 weeks — about the length of an American general election campaign — Senate budget talks with the House have been stalled.Actually,they haven’t really begun,and as a result the vital appropriations process is in peril — a potent symbol of government dysfunction. At war are two absolutes: the absolute necessity to address budget questions and the absolute refusal to engage those questions without preconditions.

Before you leap to the conclusion that Republicans are being intransigent, remember that many of the tea partiers are tired of being rolled in negotiations,tired of watching tax increases creep into law, tired of watching ineffectually as big government stays big or gets bigger.

So if you are sitting on the right,intransigence seems prudent. And congressional comity — an SAT word you used to hear on Capitol Hill — could seem beside the point.

Increasingly, the nation sits helplessly by while two parallel range wars are conducted on Capitol Hill.

The first is the usual one, drearily familiar though it may be, that pits Democrats (basically interchangeable with liberals) against Republicans (basically interchangeable with conservatives).

But the second is more interesting, and maybe more consequential. It pits veteran Republicans, reared in a Senate where comity ruled and intransigence was regarded as bad manners, against newly minted Republican senators, who regard the upper house as a torture chamber where principles go to die.

The result is a drastic change in two of the most important institutions in American civic life: The Republican Party (which in both houses of Congress provided a far higher rate of support than the Democrats for the Civil Rights Act of 1964) and the Senate (where theAmerican filibuster was invented, and then twisted to a form that would be unrecognizable to its onetime masters).

For many years, political scientists and political commentators regarded the Senate as if it were invulnerable to outside influences, exempt from time, existing in a world of its own and, more to the point, of its own making.This circumstance prevailed for decades, even into recent memory.

But that no longer is the case.The first breezes of change came with television, resisted by many of the Senate’s old bulls at a time when the phrase was redundant, but implemented under an agreement between Republican Sen. Robert J. Dole of Kansas, no rebel against tradition, and Democratic Sen.Robert C.Byrd,the most stubborn defender of Senate customs and prerogatives ever.

That changed everything, including the color of the Senate walls, which soon were adjusted to look better on television. Junior lawmakers like Sen. Albert Gore Jr., a particularly deft manipulator of Senate TV, developed visibility and power beyond the expectation and experience of their predecessors.

The changes did not stop there. Public affairs programming on cable television and the faux drama and high-fever rhetoric it rewarded transformed all of politics,the Senate especially. This new ethos reinforced a broader culture of confrontation and devalued the sense of reason that the Senate, a product of the 18th-century Enlightenment and its celebration of reason, once symbolized.

“Now it’s all or nothing, compromise is a four-letter word, it’s what plays on the cable shows each night rather than the sweep of time (that matters),” says Kenneth M. Duberstein, who once worked for one of the giants of the old Senate, Republican Jacob K. Javits of New York, and eventually became White House chief of staff for Ronald Reagan. “No wonder the party elders are in short supply. Their wisdom and voices of reason are easily dismissed by those who insist on instant gratification, who believe that they are right, and if you disagree you are to be demonized and destroyed.”

But it’s not only the contemplative streak of the Senate that has been jeopardized. If there were one characteristic beyond the ruminative quality of the Senate that the Old Guard cultivated and revered — reflected in its tone and tempo — it was this: honor.

Some lawmakers of the old temperament complain that the current Senate pressed for a budget, but now refuses to go to conference with the House to hammer one out — the word “hammer” indicative of the fact that the contemplative Senate of the past was nevertheless combative.

That sense of resistance — dishonor, some of the Old Guard would say — is not the way things used to work in the old days.But then again,in the old days,things used to work.

Gas prices hovering around $4 a gallon CLEVELAND (AP) — Ohio motorists are getting a sinking feeling as they pull up to the pumps this week.

Gas prices are way up and now are hovering around $4 a gallon.

Rising oil prices amid fears about refinery problems in the Great Lakes have pushed pump prices up over the dreaded $4 mark at some stations across the state. Others are almost there.

According to auto club AAA, the state average for a gallon of regular gas was $3.93 on Thursday, an increase of 9 cents from Wednesday and 27 cents higher than a week ago.

Meanwhile, the national average Thursday was $3.63, up just 2 cents from a week ago.

The highest average Thursday in Ohio was $3.97 in the Columbus area.

An analyst told The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer the supply of gasoline has been unstable in the Great Lakes region, where two large refineries are either partly or fully shut down for maintenance.

not ready for Man tries to slit his wrists Woman marriage looks for outside NBC’s ‘Today’ nice way to say no DEAR ABBY: I have been with my boyfriend, “Ned,” for almost two years. I’m 19 and we have lived together since we started dating. I love Ned, but I feel like we moved too fast into our relationship and now he’s trying to keep it moving as quickly as possible. I’m afraid he’s going to propose soon.

He brings the subject up a lot, and I never have much to say because I’m afraid of hurting his feelings. What should I say if he pops the question? I’m not ready for that kind of commitment, but I don’t want him to be angry with me if I say no.

— TORN IN OHIO NBC, PETER KRAMER/AP PHOTO

This April 18 photo released by NBC shows co-hosts, from left, Natalie Morales, Savannah Guthrie, Matt Lauer and Al Roker on the set of NBC News’ “Today” show in New York. Police say an emotionally disturbed man is in custody after he tried to slit his wrists outside NBC’s “Today” show on Thursday, June 6. Police say the man, who appeared to be in his 50s, was in the crowd outside the broadcast. The man was taken into custody as an emotionally disturbed person. His physical injuries were not life-threatening. His mental condition is being evaluated at a hospital.

NEW YORK (AP) — A 76-year-old man yelling that the government was going to take his house slit his wrists outside NBC’s “Today” show Thursday morning before he was taken into police custody, police said.

The man, Pak ChongMar, was in the crowd on Rockefeller Plaza outside the “Today” studio and also was yelling about how the Internal Revenue Service was corrupt and ruined his life, authorities said. He took out a knife and sliced at his wrists, police said.

“I need people to help me fight for justice,” Pak

told the Daily News of New York from his hospital bed afterward. “If I don’t do something drastic, sooner or later these guys are going to kill me anyway. I couldn’t even pay rent this month.”

His daughter sat nearby and told the newspaper what had happened was “sad.”

Authorities and witnesses said police and plaza security guards quickly subdued the man.

Some bystanders in the crowd were treated for exposure to blood. Police took the man to a hospital where his mental health was being evaluated. His

injuries were not life threatening.

“I saw him take slice after slice. I saw the blood gushing,” witness Kellie Ostransky told The New York Post. Ostransky, who lives near Phoenix, was in town to celebrate her birthday with her twin sister, the newspaper reported.

Authorities said the man’s behavior was not believed to have been caught on television. The show moves inside and outside the studio to the plaza.

“Today” show host Matt Lauer explained to viewers at one point that the

show was brought inside the studio because of “an incident” on the plaza. He said a man tried to harm himself with a knife but was taken into custody and the plaza was secure.

Lauer later sent another Twitter message that read: “All secure on the plaza after a scary incident. Thanks to our security team and the NYPD.” NBC News said in a statement: “We have strict security protocols in place to protect visitors to the Today show and those procedures were followed and effective.”

DEAR TORN: Honesty is the best policy. Not wanting to upset someone would be a very poor reason for getting married. If Ned pops the question, it is perfectly all right to tell him exactly what you have shared with me -that you are not ready for that kind of commitment because you are only 19.

It’s the truth.

If Ned becomes angry, do not allow him to stampede you into saying yes.

That kind of reaction could be a warning sign of someone who is a potential abuser.

Amnesia is one of the most resilient plot devices in video games, from early classics like “Deja Vu” to this year’s “BioShock Infinite.” It’s so common that, by now, forgetful game protagonists may outnumber their counterparts on daytime soap operas.

At first glance, Nilin, the heroine of “Remember Me” (Capcom, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, $59.99), appears to fit that mold. But Nilin is special: She may suffer from huge memory gaps, but she can also cause them in other people.

It’s 2084 in “Neo-Paris.” A corporation called Memorize has figured out how to digitize human consciousness and hack your brain. Still beating yourself up over that awful prom night? Memorize can remove the memory entirely, or edit it so you weren’t such a clod. It can even extract a more positive memory from someone else’s brain and let you relive it.

Naturally, the corporation’s access to nearly everyone’s brain has its drawbacks.

Political dissent is easily quashed, and the slums are filled with “leapers,” memory addicts whose brains have short-circuited.

When“Remember Me”begins, Nilin is getting her brains scrambled by thugs in the Bastille.She doesn’t recall how she got there, but once she escapes, an anarchist named Edge reminds her of her mission:to destroy Memorize.

Sudoku Puzzle

■ Contract Bridge — By Steve Becker

Painstaking care While it is true that some hands pretty much play themselves and require relatively little effort, others demand painstaking care for the best result to be attained.

Take this deal where West leads the king of clubs against six hearts. The first thing South does is to count his losing tricks.He sees that the only conceivable losers are a club and a diamond.

The club loser is inevitable, so the only remaining problem is the potential diamond loser, which is a threat only if the missing diamonds are divided 4-1 or 5-0. He therefore focuses all his efforts on dealing with that possibility should it exist.

Careful thought provides the answer. After winning the opening trick, South draws three rounds of

trumps, cashes the K-A of spades and ruffs dummy’s third spade. He then cashes the ace of diamonds and exits with a club, content that this play will make the slam, no matter how the diamonds are divided.

As the cards lie, if East wins the club, he is forced to return a spade or a club, thereby yielding a ruff-anddiscard and the contract. If

West wins the club,he is similarly hamstrung. He must either yield a ruff-anddiscard or return a diamond, and whichever diamond he leads,declarer plays low from dummy and easily scores the rest of the tricks.

The outcome is the same if Eastwinstheclubandstarted with four diamonds. He must also yield the slam,regardless of what he does next.

The early preparation to cover all contingencies pays off in the end.

Doctor, guide rescue baby moose from Montana river

Couple celebrates 50th

MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — A Pennsylvania doctor on a guided fishing trip in southwestern Montana went home with an amazing tale of hauling in a 25-pound lunker — a baby moose she helped rescue from a rushing river.

Karen Sciascia of Red Hill, Pa., and a guide were fishing the Big Hole River on Saturday when they spotted a cow moose with a calf trying to cross the waterway.

“We were watching this adult female struggling back and forth, and we didn’t see a baby until we got close,” Sciascia told the Missoulian for a story published Thursday. “Mom kept pushing — the current was pretty swift. The mother bolted and took off across the river. She was trying to get across the main portion of the channel, and even she struggled.”

When the calf stepped off the gravel bar into the water to follow its mother, it was swept down-

stream.

“It was small, and the river was swift,” Sciascia said.

“We lost sight of the baby. It was hurtling downstream and was being pushed by the river. It was too small to ever fight the current.”

Sciascia and guide Seth McLean with Four Rivers Fishing Co. in Twin Bridges followed downriver, finally spotting the tiny moose’s nose just above the water.

“We got up alongside it, and I just grabbed the little bugger. I scooped it up from the river under its front legs,” Sciascia said.

“I tried to hold it out, not wanting to get my scent all over it, but it was basically limp,” she said. “It was breathing, and with my hand on its chest, I could feel its heart beating real fast.”

McLean rowed the raft upstream and snapped a photo before they dropped off the calf at the side of the river.

The mother had disappeared into the woods but returned to the river after hearing the crying of her young calf. It sounded like a puppy, Sciascia said.

“When we last saw her, we were heading downstream,” she said. “The mother was heading toward it.

She had come out of the woods and was heading toward her baby.”

Four Rivers Fishing posted the story, titled “Of Moose and Men,” on its Facebook page Wednesday.

“It was cool to be in the right place at the right time,” Sciascia said.

False wall reveals a big surprise Nearly 90-year-old press rests in pit of building PIQUA — Very rarely do people think about what is behind the walls that surround them.

Partly because, frankly, there usually isn’t much more than wall studs, electrical wires and some dust. Every now and then, though, people discover some pretty amazing items when they open up their walls.

The French Oil Mill

Machinery Company in Piqua recently received a call from American Heat Treating in Dayton to share such a discovery.

While doing some electrical wiring in their maintenance room, workers came across a false wall, in which they cut a hole to see what was behind the wall.

To their surprise, they found an old French Oil

Mill Machinery Company hydraulic press.

With the press’ serial number and the French company’s historical records, the press was identified as a 1,500-ton upacting column press that French sold in October 1925. It is believed the press was originally purchased to mold Bakelite components. The almost 90-year-old press is about 12 feet tall and still rests in the pit of a building that appears to have been built around the French hydraulic press.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Sunday, June 9, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might want to cocoon at home today. Conversations with a female relative could be significant. It might please you to entertain at home.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You have strong feelings about whatever you say to others today, because you have something personal at stake.

Naturally, this will make you convincing.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Focus on financial matters today.

Think about how you can earn money, save money and take better care of what you own. In other words, protect your interests.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Quite likely, you will feel more emotional than usual today, because the Moon is in your sign. However, this also makes you a bit luckier than all the other signs. Yay! LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You'll appreciate a chance for peace and quiet today. Try to treat yourself to this. Give yourself a half an hour of solitude in beautiful surroundings.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Friendships are important today, particularly those with female acquaintances. You might want to share your hopes and dreams for the future with someone to get his or her feedback.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Be aware that personal details about your private life might come to the attention of others, especially bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs. (This could require some damage control.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Do something that is unusual or different from your daily routine. Go someplace you've never been before.

Travel if you can. Talk to people from different backgrounds to stimulate your day.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Keep in touch with your bank account and the terms of financial agreements with others, including shared property.

There is something here that cannot be ignored today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You have to go more than halfway when dealing with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign.

This simply requires a bit of patience and tolerance -- no biggie.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Think about your health today, particularly your daily diet and what you eat. How much exercise do you get?

The Moon today calls your attention to your physical well-being.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is the perfect day to play, flirt, enjoy sports, hang out with friends and delight in playful activities with children. Don't work all day; schedule some fun time for yourself.

YOU BORN TODAY Like a true Gemini, you have two sides: You can be urbane, witty and the life of the party, and yet you also are studious, serious and outspoken if need be. You are always genuine, and you garner respect for this steadiness in character. Many of you are childlike forever. In the year ahead, an important choice will arise.

Choose wisely.

Cardinals get win over Reds CINCINNATI (AP) — Adam Wainwright pitched seven innings for his ninth win, and every Cardinals starter had a hit in a 9-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night that gave St. Louis a four-game lead in the NL Central, its biggest of the season.

Wainwright (9-3) gave up two runs and seven hits as the Cardinals improved the major leagues' best MIKE ULLERY/CALL FILE PHOTO record to 40-21.

Versailles boys start with third in 4x800 Girls relay real ‘Winner’

BY ROB KISER Sports Editor rkiser@dailycall.com COLUMBUS — Relays were the story for the Versailles boy and girls track and field teams on the opening day of the state track and field championships Friday at Jesse Owens Stadium.

The boys started off the D-II meet with a thirdplace finish in the 3,200 relay — with Chad Win-

ner, Richie Ware, Sam Subler and Sam Prakel combining for a thirdplace finish in 7:52.21.

“Especially considering there were so many great teams in this race, it was a good way to start the meet,” Prakel said.

Even if the Tigers had higher expectations.

“We ran a good race,” Winner said. “We just wanted to finish higher, so we are a little disappointed with that.”

Prakel still had hopes of winning when he got the baton for the anchor leg, trailing eventual winner

CVCA and Milan Edison by 30 yards.

“I was hoping to catch them,” Prakel said. “I knew it was a sizeable gap. I tried to cut into it.

Even though I couldn’t catch them, I still kept running hard.”

Things almost got interesting at the end. CVCA and Milan Edison were running neck-and-neck when Stephen Shepard of Milan Edison started to stumble his last four or five steps, before falling across the finish line in 7:49.98, just ahead of Prakel.

“I kind of pushed myself when I saw that,” Prakel said. “I am upset with myself, because if I hadn’t let up, I feel like we would have gotten a school record, because we only missed it by .18.”

Versailles also advanced in the 1,600 relay, with Darren Subler, Prakel, Craig Pothast and Winner turning in the fourth fastest time, 3:22.75.

Pothast and Clay Wilker will compete in the high jump this morning, while Prakel will run in the 800 and 1,600, where

he is defending champion.

The Lady Tigers, competing in D-III Friday morning, made a strong showing in the relays, with the fastest time in the 400 relay, 50.18; and the second fastest time in the 800 relay, 1:45.09; and 1,600 relay, 4:03.57.

“I just think we have a lot of heart,” Gwen Keihl, who runs in both the 400 and 800 relays, said.

“Coach (Mike) Goubeaux and all the coaches have created such a great tradition and have us ready.

Then, we bring it to the track. There is pressure

(coming in with the first or second fastest time in all three races). We know people are aware of us and shooting for us, but we are ready for it.”

Keihl teamed with Lauren Bohman, Megan Hemmelgarn and Haley Winner to set the pace in the 400 relay.

“That is my favorite race of all time,” Keihl said.

She teamed with Bohman, Amanda Winner and Haley Winner to win their heat of the 800 relay.

Melvin explodes into finals LaFollette ready to hurdle Bradford history

BY ROB KISER Sports Editor rkiser@dailycall.com

ISAAC HALE/CALL PHOTO

Miami East’s Corrine Melvin leads Colleen Reynolds of Gibsonburg Friday.

COLUMBUS — Miami East sprinter Corrine Melvin made her final trip to the state track and field meet at Jesse Owens Stadium and explosive one — while Bradford junior hurdler Shay LaFollette is venturing where no Lady Railroader has been before.

Melvin exploded out of the blocks in the D-III 100-meter dash semifinals — winning her heat in 12.40 and recording the second fastest qualifying time.

“This is my last shot,” Melvin said with a smile.

“And I am not injured this year.”

The difference she said

was she never let up.

“I have been working hard on my starts with the coaches and have been working with the boys coach,” she said. “Usually, I start out fast and as the race goes on, fall back.

Today, I just stayed out front.”

She also advanced in the 200 by the narrowest of margins — with the ninth fastest time of 26.04.

“This may have been my last 200, so I wanted to go all out,” Melvin said before finding out she made the finals. “I am happy in a way, but it is also sad (that the finals will be her final high school races).

But, I am running next year (at Ohio Northern).”

And she summer up her goal for today in one word.

“Explosion,” she said.

Miami East senior Leah Dunivan wrapped up an amazing athletic career that includes two state championships in volleyball — finishing 11th in the shot put, 38-8 1-2.

LaFollette made sure the third time was the charm for her in the 100 hurdles.

After missing finals by one spot each of the last two years, she advanced in impressive fashion — with the third fastest time overall of 15.14.

“I really felt strong out there today,” LaFollette said. “I thought I ran a great race.

“After the last two years, it feels good to be going to the finals. It would mean a lot to get up on the podium.”

Leah Francis advanced to the finals for Russia as well, with the seventh fastest time in the 100 hurdles, 15.58.

Bethany York finished 10th in the high jump,

clearing 5-2; while Taylor Magoto was 10th in the pole vault, 9-6.

And while Borchers will run the 1,600 and Francis the 3,200 today, nothing could top the climb to the

top of the podium.

“This really is the perfect finish,” Francis said.

For the girl wearing number one on the number one 3,200 relay team in the state in Division III.

Champs Continued from page 11 other girls state champion came two years ago when Borchers’ sister Katie won the 800 shortly after Luke Pohlman won the 1,600 to become Russia’s first state champion

in track.

So, is Borchers now even with her sister.

“Close,” Emily said with a smile.

Heaton has a chance for another state title today,

after running the fourth fastest time in the 400 semifinals Friday, 59.58.

“I just wanted to get to Saturday — to come back and run one more race,” Heaton said.

Three Possible Prices - Get the Whole Story! sellers want, the price the buyers will offer, and the final sales price agreed upon by both parties. Your home’s ultimate value is determined by other local sale prices, which are often a product of supply and demand.

There are many factors that affect how you’ll price your home when you’re ready to sell. In spite of market conditions, interest rates, and so on, every transaction is unique.

So you should seek the assistance of a trusted local real estate professional and prepare yourself and your home well in advance of placing the For Sale sign out front.

Sometimes a home will have three different possible prices:the price the

The asking price or the offered price are not the whole story, however.

While an offer of $98,000 doesn’t seem to appear as good an offer of $100,000, pay close attention to the terms attached to that higher offer. If the buyers also want you to pay their closing costs of $3,500, the “clean” offer of $98,000 will actually put more money in your pocket.

It’s wise to seek representation and assistance with pricing, marketing, negotiations and closing.

Put a real estate agent with local experience to work for you.

Once armed with the facts relating to terms and conditions of local sales, you can move forward with confidence in your home’s listing.
