Covington gets funding for construction District approved for more than $10.7m from Ohio School Facilities Commission COVINGTON — The Ohio School Facilities Commission (OSFC) Friday approved more than $10.7 million in state funding for school construction work in the Covington Exempted Village School District. The district is one of 19 from across the Buckeye state that received an offer of funding from the commission, which oversees the state’s school facility renovation and construction program.

“The Covington Board of Education, administration, staff, and greater Covington community is thrilled to partner with the Ohio School Facilities Com-

mission to design and build our new kindergarten through eighth grade building,” said Superintendent David Larson. “As a lapsed district, the Covington community raised the local share with the successful ballot initiative this past May. The commission approval was the final step towards beginning our building project. Thank you to the Covington Exempted School District residents and the Ohio School Facilities Commission for providing this wonderful opportunity for the LARSON children of Covington.”

The funding, combined with

$7.7 million from the district, will allow the Covington to move forward with the construction of a new elementarymiddle school combination building for pre-kindergarten through grade 8. The work is part of a continuing plan to comprehensively address the facility needs in the district.

“This is a critical step in ensuring that the children in the Covington district are in facilities that help support academic achievement,” said OSFC Executive Director Richard Hickman. He went on to add that, “There is also a significant eco-

nomic impact attached to today’s Commission action – the construction work generated by this project could translate into both job opportunities for local residents and increased purchases of goods and services from local businesses.”

School districts must raise their local share of the project budget within 13 months before the state funding can be released. Districts that fail to acquire their funding in that period are considered “lapsed,” but can still participate in OSFC programs once they obtain local funding.

Community gives back with ‘Hugs for Dave’ Fundraiser to benefit Casstown man with cancer

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

CASSTOWN — The healing power of a warm embrace through a hug helped David Gawronski through some dark times in his life. Now the community he has wrapped his arms around, lifting them their own dark periods, is embracing Gawronski with a benefit in his name today.

Gawronski, 49, of Casstown,

recently was diagnosed with cancer and his friends and family are hosting a “Hugs for Dave” dinner and auction Saturday at the Troy GAWRONSKI Fish and Game. Gawronski is known for putting together benefits and fundraisers for others and now local friends and family are pulling together to help Gawronski, said longtime friend Jennifer Baldwin-Henley.

“He has a heart of gold, holding and attending fundraisers for all kinds of folks throughout the Greater Dayton/Miami County area,” said BaldwinHenley. “He has helped strug-

gling families that need help during a medical problem, car accidents, veterans, you name it.”

Baldwin-Henley said Gawronski is constantly serving others through his work with CarTeens, USO, local veterans groups and volunteers at local hospitals and will drop everything to hug someone in need.

“He’s always giving support to others,” she said. “He always is asking others how he can help and now he needs help so we are doing these benefits for him.”

Gawronski is no stranger to personal tragedy.

His son, David Jr., was involved in a car accident and suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI).

“My son was touch and go.

You feel helpless and hopeless and just want to curl up in a cor-

ner,” he said. “But it’s those who stand by your side and hug and hold you up that get you through each day. That is where your strength comes from a hug that heals. The hardest part is you go through the injuries and the sickness alone, just you and God. (You are) hoping for healing and not knowing the future for your loved one and it can be a road that never ends with cancer or TBIs.” It was the long days and nights at his bedside that Gawronski sat in fear as his son fought to live. Gawronski attributed his faith and hope to the hundreds of hugs he received during that time to push him through to the next day.

He shared stories of how others, especially parents who have lost children to car accidents or have children in rehabilitation with TBIs, text him or call and he’ll meet them to simply give them a hug for support.

“A hug eases people’s pain,” Gawronski said.

“My diagnosis of colon cancer was a scare for me like all that received this news. It caught me off guard and your mind races in all directions as you (think) of your next move.”

Gawronski said his calling is “to help, support, explain the road ahead, to help take some of that overwhelming fear and the unknown.”

Gawronski also will meet families involved in serious accidents.

“To help take some of that overwhelming fear and the unknown away sitting with families at area hospitals,” he said.

“There are those who you can do nothing but be there with a hug of hope and love. It takes a special strength to do this in my own way.”

Gawronski said he appreciates the community for now coming together for him.

“So many wonderful and loving people have come to my rescue again to hold me up with a healing hug. We have a great community who are always there in time of need,” he said. “A benefit for a family in need with so much love and support from people you know and don’t know is a love of hope you cannon explain.

“It’s just in your heart to give back, you just have to. Now I’m on the other side of the fence,” Gawronski said. “Hug somebody today — hugs heal.”

Baldwin-Henley said at least two more fundraisers in Gawronski’s honor will be held in the future.

A “Going the Distance for Dave” 5K will be Sept. 7 at a location yet to be determined. Also, a local man has offered to host a Texas Hold ‘Em poker tournament with all proceeds benefiting Gawronski.

The “Hugs for Dave” fundraiser will begin at 6 p.m. today at the Troy Fish and Game, 2618 LeFevre Road, Troy. Dinner will be served beginning at 6 p.m. There will be an auction, raffles and a 50/50 drawing. T-shirts will be available to purchase. The cost of the dinner is $15 per person.

All money raised during the event will go toward Gawronski’s medical expenses.

Prosecutor reviewing all capital cases

BY ANDREW WELSHHUGGINS Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — The prosecutor in Ohio’s most populous county isn’t limiting his review of capital punishment to the case of a man scheduled to die next month for fatally stabbing a woman 17 times.

Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty also will examine the death sentences of three other inmates set for execution this year and next.

McGinty, who promised to reduce the number of capital indictments when running for election last year, also will look at the county’s other 18 death row inmates as they receive execution dates.

Those include 15 prisoners sentenced to die before life without parole was an option in the state beginning in 1996.

Anyone sentenced before then will be looked at differently, Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Matthew Meyer said Friday. In addition, the “heinousness” of a killing

One of the women told investigators Castro starved and beat her to force her miscarry; capital to charges would in theory cover the alleged death of those fetuses.

McGinty has made the rare move of asking the Ohio Parole Board to recommend mercy for Billy Slagle, set to die next month for the 1987 killing of his neighbor, Mari Anne Pope, while two children she was watching were home.

McGinty argues it would be difficult to get a death sentence today in the case of Slagle because of his age at the time 18, the minimum age for execution in Ohio and because of a long history of drug and alcohol addiction.

Three other county defendants are scheduled for execution this year and next.

Harry Mitts Jr., 61, is scheduled to die in September after being convicted of shooting two people, including a Garfield Heights police sergeant, in suburban

Cleveland in 1994. Meyer called the facts in the case “just terrible” and said he doesn’t foresee not pushing for execution.

But in the case of Arthur Tyler, Meyer said the office would “be looking very carefully.” The 63-year-old man is scheduled to die in May for the death of Sander Leach as he was selling vegetables from his van on Cleveland’s east side in 1983.

Meyer didn’t address the case of Gregory Lott, 52, who is scheduled to die in March. Lott was convicted of setting fire to John McGrath in his Cleveland home July 15, 1986. McGrath, 84, died days later.

William Caine, a now retired assistant county prosecutor who handled Slagle’s case, is critical of McGinty’s approach. Once an appeals court has ruled, the criminal justice system doesn’t permit “do-overs,” Caine said earlier this week.

“There’s always changes to improve and to clarify statutes,” Caine said. “Does that mean that everybody on death row should get a retrial?”

New charges filed in Cleveland kidnap case Indictment against Ariel Castro up to 977 counts

BY ANDREW WELSHHUGGINS Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — The man accused of holding three women captive in his Cleveland home for about a decade was charged Friday with hundreds of additional counts covering the entire time period of the alleged imprisonment.

The 977-count indictment against Ariel Cas-

40100779

now plays an important role in McGinty’s approach to capital punishment, he said.

“The office is very much interested in pursuing capital cases as an exception, and not as the rule,” Meyer said.

The county has long been criticized for taking a heavy-handed approach to capital punishment, indicting dozens of defendants a year but then dropping nearly all of them in favor of plea bargains.

Now “We’re really looking at the cases that are essentially the worst we’ve got,” Meyer said.

“When we charge a case and commit ourselves to the litigation, we want to make sure the legal system will support it and there’s very good grounds to do so.”

For example, McGinty has left open the possibility of a capital charge against Ariel Castro, accused of kidnapping three women and imprisoning them in his Cleveland home for a decade while he beat and raped them.

40294292

tro includes charges of rape and kidnapping and two counts of aggravated murder on accusations that Castro starved and punched one of the women while she was pregnant until she miscarried.

The indictment does not include charges that could carry a death sentence, but Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty said he is still reserving that option.

Castro, 53, is charged with kidnapping the three women and holding them captive sometimes restrained in chains along with a 6year-old girl he fathered with one of them.

Castro pleaded not guilty to an earlier 329count indictment. A message was left with his attorney Friday seeking comment on the new

charges.

Castro is charged with two counts of aggravated murder related to one act, saying he purposely caused the unlawful termination of the pregnancy of one of the women. The new indictment also charges him with 512 counts of kidnapping, 446 counts of rape, seven counts of gross sexual imposition, six counts of felonious assault, three counts of child endangerment and one count of possessing criminal tools.

The 576-page indictment covers the period from August 2002, when the first girl disappeared, to May, when the women were rescued.

The first indictment covered only the period from August 2002 to February 2007.

“Today’s indictment

moves us closer to resolution of this gruesome case,” McGinty said in a statement. “Our investigation continues, as does our preparation for trial.”

News that the women had been found alive electrified the Cleveland area, where two of the victims were household names after years of searches, publicity and vigils. But elation soon turned to shock as allegations about their treatment began to emerge.

The indictment against Castro alleges he repeatedly restrained the women, sometimes chaining them to a pole in a basement, to a bedroom heater or inside a van. It says one of the women tried to escape and he assaulted her with a vacuum cord around her neck.

State Briefs Action, suggestions for Ohio youth prisons COLUMBUS (AP) — A task force has made a series of suggested recommendations to reduce sexual assaults of incarcerated youth in Ohio.

Concepts include random security checks, monitoring cameras and mandatory reporting and investigating of incidents in a coordinated fashion among youth prison, highway patrol and human services agencies.

Earlier this year a U.S. Justice Department report put Ohio among states with the highest sexual-assault rates in its juvenile prison system.

Incarcerated young people responded anonymously to survey questions about unwanted sexual activity involving other inmates and facility employees.

Youth Services Director Harvey Reed said this week the agency is taking a comprehensive approach to making improvements.

Legislators set IRS hearing in Cincinnati CINCINNATI (AP) — A state House committee wants to hear from Ohioans who believe they were targeted by the Internal Revenue Service because of their political leanings.

The House Policy and Legislative Oversight Committee scheduled a

July 25 hearing at the University of Cincinnati.

The committee Thursday stated that comments from those testifying will be submitted to Ohio's congressional delegation.

An IRS Cincinnati office played a key role in what agency officials have said was improper scrutiny of tea party and other groups when they sought tax-exempt status.

Several Ohio-based tea party groups and leaders have charged they were unfairly singled out. IRS employees have denied any partisan motives.

1 killed, 1 hurt in wrong-way crash SILVERTON (AP) — Deputies say alcohol or drugs may have been involved in a wrong-way crash that left a 23-yearold woman dead and another driver hospitalized.

Deputies said Chelsie Owens of Oxford was driving her Mazda 626 south in the northbound lanes of the interstate.

She sideswiped one car before crashing head-on into a Volkwagen Jetta.

Owens was dead at the scene. The driver of the Jetta, Michael Thompson, was taken to a Cincinnati hospital in stable condition.

Everybody involved was wearing seat belts.

Commentary

Does globalism equal patriotism? omething a little different:Instead of writing a column opposing the nomination of Samantha Power to become U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, I appeared on a panel inWashington,D.C.,last week to state the case. C-SPAN covered the press conference, so did Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank, who wrote: “Their technique was straightforward: They would impugn the patriotism of the Irish-born nominee....I asked the speakers whether they really believed that she was an enemy of the United States or whether they merely disagreed with her politics.”

When Milbank did venture into substance, he misrepresented it, maybe to keep readers a-boil over those “impugning” conservatives. For example, regarding a statement Samantha Power made in 2002 -—by the way,a horrendous time of Palestinian intifada terrorism against civilians in Israel — Milbank forgot to mention that besides calling for “billions” in US aid for “a new state of Palestine,” Power also called for “a mammoth [US] protection force” to protect Palestinians from Israelis.

Power acknowledged such measures would be “fundamentally undemocratic,” but, she said, “it’s essential that some set of principles become the benchmarks rather than deference to people (in Israel and the Palestinian Authority) who are fundamentally, politically destined to destroy the lives of their own people, and by that I mean what (columnist) Tom Friedman has called ‘Sharafat.’ “ Egregious equivalence between then-Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and arch-terrorist Yasir Arafat aside, Power’s ever-present inclination to intervene on behalf of “some set of principles”— her own — is just one of the things that should give pause to lawmakers as they consider her elevation in the national security hierarchy.

Milbank, however, says raising such flags impugns her patriotism, and is therefore wrong.

I wonder how “patriotism” became the fulcrum of Milbank’s argument in the first place. If, as it seems eminently fair to say, Power seeks to strengthen global government at the U.N., she is also simultaneously seeking to weaken the sovereign powers of the US.Does such a policy belong under the rubric of “patriotism”? Perhaps we denizens of what some describe as “post-America” should be discussing whether a“globalist”can also be a“patriot.”Then again,that might take us too close to clear definitions of globalists and patriots.As Saul Alinsky (and Lenin before him) knew, clarity impedes the advance of radicalism (read: globalism, collectivism, totalitarianism, Marxism ...).

Better to keep everything fuzzy, either on purpose or as a conditioned reflex, and offer globalists such as Power a refuge from criticism in “patriotism.”

“Critics of Power won’t get far simply by saying they disagree with her philosophy because it closely tracks that of the president,” Milbank wrote.

This is probably true. But failing to “get far” in no way delegitimizes the case against Power. This is the conservative case against global government, and the case for American sovereignty and the Constitution.

As our woman in Turtle Bay, Samantha Power would be in a unique position to further such policies.These might include, as she suggested in 2004 on C-SPAN,re-inventing the Security Council without Russia,China (due to their human rights abuses) and the United States, which she critiqued as “a by-passer of international law and international institutions.” She also supports a U.N. standing army “at the disposal of the (U.N.) secretary general” to deploy in “humanitarian” causes, which she describes as “genocide prevention, or nation-building, postwar occupation, or reconstruction.”

Such an army wouldn’t have to include Americans, she said. “There are a number of countries that ... do seem to be ready to put troops on the line on behalf of things that don’t directly implicate their national interests because they have ... a sense of their nations as being a part of a global community.”

DoAmericans have that global-community sense? I doubt it. Indeed, the obstacle to an army for the secretary general is what Power called “domestic politics” in pesky “member states.” What she dismisses as “domestic politics,” of course, sounds like stirrings of patriotism to me.

“Much of the participants’ hostility toward Power was better directed toward the United Nations itself,” Milbank wrote, “which they consider a threat to American sovereignty. Diana West informed the audience that Alger Hiss was‘the person in charge of shaping’ the United Nations and that ‘we have been ill-served by the United Nations, by our involvement with the United Nations.’”

Hooray! When was the last time the media told us Alger Hiss, a US State Department official and Soviet military intelligence agent at the same time, was connected to the formation of the U.N.? Not that Milbank bothered to identify Hiss, who, of course, was actually working for Stalin, not FDR. Citing my observation that much of what we define in political terms as “humanitarian” meshes with theories of world government and other Marxist-Leninist notions, Milbank wrote: “Certainly, Power is idealistic, and she believes in international cooperation and humanitarian intervention. ... But this doesn’t make Power a Marxist, or someone ‘who reviles American greatness,’ as Gaffney put it in a letter to the Senate signed by the likes of Phyllis Schlafly, Richard Viguerie and Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.”

The contempt may drip but it doesn’t strengthen Milbank’s essentially Orwellian argument: Globalism is patriotism. Woe to those who point out the difference.

To the Editor: I frequently visit baseball complexes throughout the state of Ohio, and have seen some beautiful stadiums that many people, of all ages use. Piqua has Hardman field that is not accessible to seniors or the handicapped. The city should look at putting a walkway from Forest Ave. up to the bleachers. Many people struggle walking or using a mobility scooter getting close enough to view the games there.

Surrounding cities have beautiful diamonds with the same beauty in their grounds. Baseball is one of America’s favorite pasttimes and it’s a shame not more people here use the park to enjoy those games.

I think the park would be used more if folks could get closer to the action.

Ohio schools get $45 million in casino taxes COLUMBUS (AP) — The state of Ohio says its schools are getting more than $45 million next month from casino tax revenue.

The Ohio Department of Taxation figures released this week show that’s a 19-percent increase from the first distribution in January. The higher number reflects the March opening of the state’s fourth casino, in Cincinnati.

The exact amount each school district will receive won’t be known until the new school year begins, but generally the semi-annual payments to schools from the casino tax fund amounts to about $20 per pupil.

The estimated $45.4 million payment compares with $38 million received by schools in January for the previous six months.

The Columbus Dispatch reports a total of $70.6 million came to the state from casino taxes in the quarter ending June 30.

Broadway going to the dogs Oldest of six tries to fill gap left by mother who drinks

MARK KENNEDY/AP PHOTO

This July 8 photo shows actress Bernadette Peters with Chili, a 9-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, at the Brooklyn Animal Resource Coalition in the Williamsburg section of the Brooklyn borough of New York. Chili will be part of Saturday’s Broadway Barks adopt-a-thon near Times Square.

BY MARK KENNEDY AP Drama Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Bernadette Peters stopped by a desolate corner of Brooklyn the other day to hang out with a special group of fans. They were literally barking.

A deafening chorus of woofs greeted the two-time Tony Award winner as she toured the Brooklyn Animal Resource Coalition and checked in with shelter dogs Louise, Melissa, Sparrow, Joseph, Bobby, Greg and Diamond.

“This is my passion,” she says after scratching furry backs, stroking tails and caressing grateful ears. “I realized what a womanizer is because I’m a doginizer. I want every dog, like the man who wants every woman.”

The love goes both ways: Many animals in this no-kill, privately run animal shelter owe their lives to Peters, who is known to scan the lists of dogs scheduled to be euthanized and rush over to save them from death.

“It isn’t hard to find people who care about animals, but when you have the passion that Bernadette has and the drive and the consistent effort to save all these critters, that’s special,” says fellow actor David Hyde Pierce.

Peters visited the shelter on this day hoping it will be the last time she sees many of “her dogs” there — several will be starring in Saturday’s adopt-a-thon she co-founded 15 years ago called Broadway Barks.

She and fellow actress and animal advocate Mary Tyler Moore started the annual star-studded event in 1999 in Shubert Alley — a pedestrian alley at the heart of the Broadway theater district — to help promote animal adoption and raise awareness of the plight of

homeless animals.

The free event has grown from a folding-table affair with a few animals from six shelters to a mammoth one with celebrities, musical acts and animals from 27 shelters across the city.

There will be signed memorabilia like calendars and stuffed dogs, with all proceeds going to help homeless animals.

Broadway stars this year scheduled to attend and introduce the animals include Sigourney Weaver, Laura Osnes, Bebe Neuwirth, Isabel Keating, Annaleigh Ashford, the girls rotating the lead in “Matilda the Musical,” the lead of “Annie” Lilla Crawford, Victoria Clark, Harvey Fierstein, Andrew Rannells and new Tony winners Gabriel Ebert and Billy Porter. Music will be provided by the cast of “Jersey Boys.”

“We’re all there for the love of animals,” says Jane Lynch, a veteran animal rights activist who has been playing Miss Hannigan in the “Annie” revival on Broadway and was asked by Peters to help out Broadway Barks this year.

Shows represented will include “Once,” ‘’Newsies,” ‘’Motown the Musical,” ‘’Kinky Boots,” ‘’Rodger’s + Hammerstein’s Cinderella,” ‘’Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark,” ‘’Pippin,” ‘’Wicked” and “Mama Mia” and “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike.”

“What’s so wonderful about Broadway Barks is that it reaches a whole new audience all of its own — theatergoers and theater lovers and show fans, not to mention so many of the cast and crew,” says Gail Buchwald, senior vice president of the ASPCA, which sponsors the event.

“It’s got a brand of its own and a fantastic draw. Who doesn’t want to see the

cast and crew members of Broadway shows that are running now? It doesn’t get any hotter than that.”

The event estimates it helps find homes for 200 animals each year, part of the reason the numbers of animals killed in the city has been falling. An estimated 31,000 animals were euthanized in 2003 and only 8,000 last year.

“We’re doing better, but we’re still not there yet,” says Peters, who calculates that there are 7 million unwanted animals nationwide. “I’m not giving up. I’m not giving up.”

From poodles to pugs, Peters is a dog lover, a woman whose hand naturally gravitates to a snout and a muzzle. At the shelter, she is no Broadway diva.

She unlocks the cage doors and gets down on her knees to play with the dogs, scratching bellies and getting licks. Chili, a 9-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, later comes out to melt into her with what has to be a doggie smile.

Peters grew up in New York with a father who loved animals. “He would rescue birds and bring them home and fix their broken wings,” she says. She got her first dog at age 9.

A visit to the city shelter 15 years ago galvanized her into an activist. She saw so many homeless and abused animals facing death that she felt compelled to act. “We shouldn’t discard them,” she says. “It’s the last frontier where we’re allowed to behave barbaric.”

Peters, who has two rescue dogs of her own, is always on the lookout to connect a homeless animal with a loving home, as she did recently with the actor and singer Cheyenne Jackson. He had been mourning the loss of his dog Zora and wasn’t ready for a new dog when he got an email from Peters.

Space shuttle Enterprise reopens to NYC visitors

BY JON GERBERG Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — The historic Enterprise space shuttle returned to view Wednesday on the flight deck of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum on Manhattan’s far west side, protected by a structure designed to hold up in conditions worse than the storm last fall that damaged it.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the end of eight months of repair work for the shuttle, which was damaged during Superstorm Sandy last October when the structure around it deflated.

The pioneering shuttle had surface abrasions and lost a chunk of its vertical stabilizer fin in the storm. High waters shut down the main power supply and backup generators on the floating museum. But on Wednesday the exhibit was finally open.

“It also symbolizes New York’s resilience in the recovery after Hurricane Sandy,” said museum president Susan

Marenoff-Zausner. “Bit by bit, New York and the entire region is recovering from the storm and proving that we are all stronger than ever.”

The shuttle is now housed in a steelframed pavilion designed to withstand much harsher conditions. Upon entering, visitors walked through a soundscape of audio recordings from the original Enterprise test flights.

Though Enterprise was never actually equipped to fly in space, it was used in a numerous test flights and is considered a pioneer to NASA’s manned space flight program.

“This was the all-around test vehicle for everything they did,” said Eric Boehm, the Intrepid curator of aviation and aircraft restoration, who oversaw the shuttle’s restoration after the storm.

“Nothing like it existed,” he said.

“Without this orbiter there would’ve been no space shuttle program,” said Tim Keyser, a NASA technician who spent a decade working on Enterprise and even helped transport it from Washington, D.C., to New York last

year.

Keyser said he was glad to see the shuttle in its new home. “It looks better now than it ever did before,” he said.

More than 400 people watched as the shuttle was added to the National Register of Historic Places, the first space shuttle to receive the designation.

“It was always a landmark of the future,” said National Register coordinator Kathleen LaFrank. “Its significance was about promise and what we were going to achieve.”

But the future of the shuttle remains unclear. Marenoff-Zausner, president of the museum, said that the shuttle would remain there for “a year or two,” but acknowledged that the museum was looking at other options for permanent housing.

In the meantime Liam Serota, a 13year-old from Manhattan with dreams of going to space, marveled up at the towering, newly reopened shuttle.

“It kind of shows American power too,” he said. “We’re always trying to rebuild, and come back to the top.”

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 13year-old girl and I had a big argument with my mom. It’s about her drinking. I have tried to get her to stop because most of the money she makes goes straight to her alcohol, but instead of talking it out, she starts yelling.

She says it’s her life and we can’t tell her what to do with her money.

I have five younger sisters and brothers, and I try to come up with the money myself from baby-sitting. I feel as if my younger siblings are my children. I am so fed up with my mother’s behavior. Should I keep talking to her about it or leave it be?

— CAN’T DO IT ALL ON GUAM DEAR CAN’T DO IT ALL: As long as your mother continues to deny that she has a drinking problem, there is nothing you can do to help her without further putting her on the defensive. But you may be able to find support from Alateen.

Alateen is a group for teens that was established specially for young people who are affected by the drinking problem of someone close to them. You would also be welcome at a weekly Al-Anon meeting in Chalan Pago. For more information on Al-Anon and Alateen, visit www.alanon.alateen.org, email wso@al-anon.org or call 8884AL-ANON. At your tender age, you should not have to assume financial responsibility for your younger siblings. You should discuss this with your clergyperson, a teacher at school or another trusted adult because they may be able to get you some help from a social services organization.

DEAR SOMEONE WHO CARES: How do you know the child’s parents and grandparents don’t see his weight as an issue? A way to raise the subject would be to mention your concern and ask what the boy’s pediatrician has had to say about it.

While years ago doctors may have been reluctant to raise the issue, today they are much less so because the American Medical Association has declared obesity to be a disease.

Also, as a relative, try to include the boy in physical activity you engage in.

Larkin puts conservation in business terms

BY JENNIFER KAY Associated Press Money doesn’t grow on trees, especially not when you’ve cut down all the trees to reap short-term profits,argues a former Greenpeace USA official pitching conservation to corporate executives.

With more than two decades of experience at the high-profile environmental

group, Amy Larkin might be expected to publish a screed against corporations for their polluting greed.Instead,“Environmental Debt”highlights the efforts companies such as Puma, Wal-Mart, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s and Tiffany & Co. — yes, the same brands many so-called tree-huggers might associate with global ills — have already made to reduce waste, change their supply chains and embrace

environmentally sustainable practices.

Larkin, now a consultant with her own firm, isn’t pushing for more government regulations,though she does encourage executives to invest in the infrastructure that governments build and maintain. She puts her pitch in terms businesspeople understand: It all comes down to money. Successful companies, Larkin argues, under-

stand that they will pay more for resources and production down the line if they don’t invest now in energyefficient upgrades and other changes.

Corporations may balk at the cost of those changes now, but Larkin says they will face far greater deficits when they have unhealthy work forces, facilities damaged by extreme weather events and unstable supply chains.

Today Facts, Not Fantasy OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY 2-4 Kathy Henne

Confused about setting an asking price for your home? It’s not surprising, considering the mixed signals you might be receiving about the “national” real estate market.

First, understand that there is no such thing as a national market – only thousands of individual markets experiencing different conditions.

If you don’t have detailed information about local home sales, it’s just about impossible to determine your home’s value to buyers. Even prices from just six months ago may not hold up, so it’s critical to have access to real-time information about trends in today’s market.

Details should include the total number of properties currently for sale, the number of both pending and sold units, the average listing time, and the average listing price and sales price. You must compare pending sales and final sales, because the pending transactions really reveal where the market is heading as opposed to where it was when a sale took place.

Start your pricing decision by contacting a trusted local real estate professional, who has

Re/Max Finest access to this information and the experience to interpret the facts. Your representative will not set the price for you – that’s your final decision. But don’t be surprised if the agent walks away from an overly optimistic asking price, because that agent can’t afford to invest time, money and energy in an overpriced listing and neither can you!

If you know somebody who is having trouble making their house payment, have them call the Kathy Henne Team. Kathy has earned the prestigious Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, having completed training in foreclosure avoidance and short sales. More and more lenders are willing to consider short sales because they are much less costly than foreclosures.

Odd news 90 cats rescued from smuggling near Thai border BANGKOK (AP) — Thai police say they have rescued about 90 famished cats that theybelievedhadbeenheaded to Vietnam. They declined to say what fate they had rescued the felines from, but cats are considered a delicacy in their intended destination.

Police Col. Sakchai Sadmaroeng said Thursday his men stopped a pickup truck at a checkpoint Thursday and found six plastic cages full of cats in northeastern Nakhon Phanom province.

The driver was arrested and faces charges including animal cruelty and illegal transportation of animals.

The Thai driver told police he received 2,000 baht ($63) to drive the cats to the Mekhong River, near the Thai-Laotian border.

Cat meat is offered in many restaurants in Vietnam. Dogs also have been smuggled there from Thailand for their meat.

Python breaks into charity

they’ve hit the floor, they’ve vomited and then staggered and fallen over. That’s what we thought anyway.”

Police now suspect the python entered the store through the roof, which was damaged in a cyclone two years ago.

The animal then plummeted through the ceiling, knocking over dishes, clothes and other items, before relieving itself on the floor. It somehow managed to hide from officials until staff spotted it lying alongside a wall the next day.

A local snake catcher was called in to capture the reptile, which has been relocated to nearby wetlands.

4-year-old boy as town mayor DORSET, Minn. (AP) — Supporters of the mayor in the tiny tourist town of Dorset can stuff the ballot box all they want as he seeks re-election. The mayor — a short guy — is known for his fondness of ice cream and fishing. And he’s got the county’s top law enforcement official in his pocket.

Say hello to Mayor Robert “Bobby”Tufts.He’s4yearsold and not even in school yet.

Bobby was only 3 when he won election last year as mayor of Dorset (population 22 to 28, depending on whether the minister and his family are in town).

Dorset, which bills itself as the Restaurant Capital of theWorld,has no formal city government.

Every year the town draws a name during its Taste of Dorset Festival, and the winner gets to be mayor.

Anyone can vote as many times as they like — for $1 a

vote — at any of the ballot boxes in stores around town.

Bobby is running for a second term, and he gets to draw the winning nameAug. 4, so it’s possible he could draw his own name.

Calls of “Mr. Mayor” greet Bobby as he strolls around Dorset,handing out his campaign card. One side shows Bobby, his dark hair slicked down, wearing his tan fishing vest over a suit jacket.

The other side shows Bobby sitting in a porch swing with his girlfriend, Sophie.

“I would love to be your Mayor as much as I love Sophie,” the card reads.

“He’s been pretty good.

Lotta PR for the town,” said his mother, Emma Tufts, 34.

“I think he’s doing a fine job.”

Bobby’s job as mayor is to greet people as they come to Dorset, located among the pines and lakes of northern Minnesota about 150 miles northwest of Minneapolis.

Resorts and tourism are the main industry, and restaurants ranging from Mexican to Italian to family style line about two blocks on either side of the highway that runs through the middle of town.

New game: Can humor sell health insurance?

BY SARAH VARNEY Kaiser Health News When the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance exchanges open for business in the fall,it will be a new game.

Customers will be able to comparison shop in the new online marketplaces, and health insurers will have to sell themselves to the general public in a way they haven’t before.

The law’s requirement that almost everyone buy insurance sounds like a marketer’s dream – captive shoppers directed by the government to buy your product.

But when the product is health insurance, there are undoubtedly some pitfalls: Customers may not love your brand. In fact, they may despise you. You doubled, tripled, quadrupled their premiums. You denied them coverage because of a pre-ex-

isting condition just when they needed you most.

James Percelay, the cofounder of the viral marketing firm Thinkmodo in New York City, sat down with Kaiser Health News to talk through the advertising challenges insurers will face in the coming months. “I think it may be too little too late for health insurance companies to now come out, like, ‘Hey! We were just kidding the last 50 years! We’re really not the people that you think we are!’� Percelay says.

Not only do people dislike insurance companies,they’re hard to tell apart. Customers will go to a website and see a list of indistinguishable names: Humana, Oxford, Blue Cross, HealthNet. The products and prices won’t look that different. It’s the perfect moment, says Percelay, for a little humor. “You cannot really differ-

entiate one insurance company from another, but you can differentiate who has the wackiest mascot or scenarios that are fun to watch,� he says.

Car insurers have blazed this path already: Geico has its talking lizard.Progressive Car Insurance has that perky woman named Flo. Percelay says he expects health insurers to follow suit.

Another challenge health insurers face is convincing young healthy people to sign up. The new markets need these so-called “young invincibles� to be financially viable, but young people are the least willing to pay for coverage. Percelay says insurers need to craft their message to reach that demographic. “There could be product placement in a Jackass movie so subliminally when Steve-O is bungee jumping

with a rubber band off the roof of a building, perhaps that rubber band has an Oxford logo on it,� he says.

Health insurance companies could start claiming the same advertising spots reserved for Red Bull and Corona. Poolside parties could be sponsored by the Humana Cabana.

And companies will have to go to where young adults spend their time: on their phones and inside video games. “You could even see video games integrate health insurance marketing,� says Percelay. “Maybe there’s Angina Birds� as a game instead of Angry Birds.

Or how about a health plan underwriting one of MTV’s reality television shows. The next Jersey

[T [T NCVGT

Shore brought to you by Blue Cross Blue Shield. Percelay has the tag line ready:“‘Don’t Binge Without Blue!’ You know, tie in to this lifestyle that kids allegedly want to have.�

As fun as all this sounds, it costs a lot of money for an insurance company to sign you up for the first time, so they want you to stick with them. Health plans will have to give customers a reason to pick a brand and stay loyal. “Customer retention for insurance companies is going to be based on some sort of reward, some reason to stay with them,� he says.Percelay could easily see iTunes credits or a Starbucks card for paying your bill on time or staying healthy.

Indeed, the health insur-

ance company Humana already allows its customers to earn “Vitality Bucks� that can be redeemed at the “Humana Vitality Mall.� Keep your blood pressure in check, earn a digital camera!

One thing is for sure: We’re all about to be blanketed with health insurance advertisements. And for the first time, the customer will become king.

Stewart teammates chase wins Prestigious Ohio titles the name of the game INDIANAPOLIS (July 10) – When the stakes are high, the cream almost always rises to the top.

Since July 1984, the best Sprint car racers in the world have chased the coveted Kings Royal crown at Tony Stewart’s Eldora Speedway in Rossburg. This weekend, Tony Stewart Racing’s (TSR) Steve Kinser and Donny Schatz are vying to win the prestigious event one more time.

Kinser, driver of TSR’s No. 11 Bad Boy Buggies/J.D. Byrider/Chevrolet Performance Maxim, won the first Kings Royal in 1984 and has collected the $50,000 first-place prize money on seven occasions during the first 29 events. Schatz, who will pilot the TSR No. 15 STP/Armor All/Chevrolet Performance J&J, is a two-time winner of the Kings Royal.

Saturday’s 30th annual Kings Royal kicks off the “Month of Money” for the World of Outlaws (WoO) STP Sprint Car Series.

The 2013 season includes more than 80 nights of racing, but there are a handful of events where the pressure and hype exceed the normal adrenaline-filled evening that features the 900-horsepower Winged Sprint cars battling wheel-to-wheel at dirt tracks across the United States.

Both Kinser and Schatz will race three consecutive nights this week, concluding with Saturday’s Kings Royal. The 25th annual Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic at Limaland Motorsports Park in Lima, Ohio is first on the docket.

The event was originally scheduled for Wednesday, but was pushed back a day because of heavy rains in the area. The Classic has been one of the more competitive races on the WoO circuit the past seven seasons with seven different drivers coming out on top after 40 laps.

In this July 6 file photo, Tony Stewart greets fans during driver introductions prior to the start of the NASCAR Sprint Cup auto race at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla. banked dirt oval almost always slicks off and provides some incredible two lane racing where slide jobs for position is the norm and dealing with lapped traffic is almost always the difference between winning and losing.

Kinser scored a thrilling win in the 2009 Brad Doty Classic after starting sixth. The 20time WoO STP Sprint Car Series champion took the lead from Jason Meyers on lap 35 and raced away to score his third career Classic triumph and fifth career victory at Limaland. “The King of the Outlaws” is one of only three drivers with multiple Classic victories. Last season, Kinser finished ninth in the main event.

Schatz won his first Brad Doty Classic in 2011 after starting the 40-lap A-feature third. He made his move for the top spot on lap 30 and exchanged the lead with Brad Sweet on consecutive laps before grabbing the point for good on lap 34. He has finished inside the top-10 in six of the past seven events at Limaland, including last year when he finished fifth.

Friday will be a quick turnaround for the traveling Outlaws as they make their third appearance of 2013 at Eldora. Kinser sets the standard at Eldora with his 155 career WoO starts and 41 victories on the high-banked, half-mile dirt oval. His most recent win was the

2010 Kings Royal when he slid his way past leader Kerry Madsen during a second attempt at a greenwhite-checkered finish. In May, Kinser raced from 26th to 14th and from 15th to seventh in WoO action at Eldora. Schatz has raced in 86 WoO events at “The Big E” and has five career victories.

He won the 2007 and 2009 $50,000 events, but hasn’t returned to victory lane since his most recent Kings Royal triumph. The five-time and reigning WoO STP Sprint Car Series champion finished fourth and third during the Outlaws’ stop this past May. The Outlaws officially started the second half of the 2013 season Saturday at Dodge City (Kan.) Raceway Park after contesting their 41st race of the campaign. With 39 races remaining, Schatz continues to lead the series with eight A-Feature wins. He trails Daryn Pittman in the championship standings by 176 points heading into Thursday’s Brad Doty Classic. Kinser ranks ninth in the standings and has one win, four top-fives and 16 top-10s this season.

Thursday at Limaland Raceway Park, the pit gates will open at 3 p.m.

EDT, with the grandstands opening at 4 p.m.

Hot laps are scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. For more details and ticket information, call (419) 998-3199, or visit

On Friday at Eldora Speedway, the pit and grandstand gates will open at 3 p.m. EDT. Hot laps are scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. For Saturday’s Kings Royal program, the pit gates will open at noon with the grandstands opening at 2 p.m. Hot laps are scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m.

Harvick will drive the No. 4 Chevrolet for SHR. Budweiser will serve as primary sponsor for 20 races as well as the Budweiser Duel during Speedweeks at Daytona International Speedway. Budweiser will serve as a major associate sponsor for the remaining races on the Sprint Cup Series schedule.

Harvick has 21 Cup wins, 96 top-fives and 198 top-10 finishes in his career. He drives the No. 29 for Richard Childress Racing and is fourth in the point standings this season.

Harvick made the decision last year to leave the RCR team that hired him in 1999. He’s made the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship the last three seasons.

“I’ve developed a great relationship with so many people at Budweiser and am very happy it’s an association that will continue for many years to come,” Harvick said.

“We’ve enjoyed a lot of success together and our expectations match right up with those of Stewart-Haas Racing.”

Harvick has represented Budweiser since 2011. Bud has been a staple in the Cup Series dating back to its sponsorship of Terry No. 44 Labonte’s Chevrolet at Stratograph Racing in 1983.

Budweiser has celebrated a championship and nearly 60 wins in NASCAR’s elite division with the likes of Darrell Waltrip, Geoff Bodine, Bill Elliott, Kenny Schrader, Ricky Craven, Wally Dallenbach, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kasey Kahne and Harvick.

Determined to win, and win we did The team continues with the same old fighting spirit he Piquonian followed the 1923 football team. “Football practice started about three weeks before the beginning of school. Coach Mote returned from the coaching school at Ann Arbor, Michigan, and issued a call for candidates, which was answered by about 30 boys. The fellows practiced hard two nights a week until school opened and then they started regular practice.

The team seems to have the same old fighting spirit.”

“Piqua High started the season off in first-class shape by decisively trouncing the Sidney High School eleven, 30 to 0.

Sidney did not have a chance against the heavy and fast Piqua team, which gained most of its ground thru terrific line bucking. The first score of the season was made in the first quarter when Meckstroth tackled a Sidney man back of his goal

T

line, for a safety. There were no stars in this game, as the opposition of Sidney was very weak and did not give the Piqua team a chance to show what it could do. There was a large crowd out to see the game, and indications are that the team will have a good following for the rest of the season.”

“For the second time in as many years, the Piqua team showed its superiority to the Cincinnati East aggregation, beating them by a score of 19 to 0.

But nothing but hard ‘plugging’ and good playing won this game for Piqua. Altho outweighed by a wide margin, the team fought hard and as a result achieved a well deserved victory. The entire team played well, but too much cannot be said of the wonderful running of Hughes and the terrific line bucking of Purucker.

Then, too, the Piqua line held as if it were a stone wall, some of its bulwarks

being Buettner, Comer, Gavin and Meckstroth.

The victory cost Piqua something, however, as Hughes, star full-back injured one of his ribs, which kept him out of the next game.”

“Piqua continued its winning streak at the expense of the Urbana High eleven. The Urbana team did not have a chance, altho the ball was carried very near the Piqua goal.

The final score was Piqua 39 and Urbana 0. Our team showed that it meant business by getting a touchdown in the first four minutes, and by

For Home Delivery, Call: 773-2725

rolling up the score afterwards. But at the same time we were weak on defense as Urbana made some gains thru the line.

Alexander, one of Piqua’s best substitute linemen, was injured and will probably be kept out of the game for several weeks.”

“The boys on the Piqua team went out on the field with blood in their eyes as they remembered the game at Middletown last year. Piqua started things going by getting a touchdown in the first quarter, and from then on to the end of the half, the game was a punting duel between Piqua and Middletown. In the second half, the team blew up. Middletown started the forward passing game, got a touchdown, and then proceeded to ‘pass’ the Piqua team out of existence.

When the smoke cleared away Piqua was on the short end of a 24 to 6 score for the first time this season. Poor generalship and

the inability of the backs to break up the forward passes cost Piqua the game.”

“Determined to win, our team went to Greenville , and win we did. The Greenville team was without the services of Tillman, star fullback, and Batten, left-end, but in spite of this handicap, the team put up a very good game and it was only through hard playing that we were able to triumph.

In the first and second quarters, Piqua scored by short passes. The second half started with a steady pour of rain, which made the field muddy and the players unrecognizable.

Both teams fought hard in this half, with the handicap of the field, and no scoring was done by either side.

This game cost Piqua something, however, as ‘Nig’ Comer, star right-end, injured his ankle, which kept him out of the next game. All the See Win/Page 10

Saturday, July 13, 2013

COLUMBUS – The Ohio High School Athletic Association will hand out total of $66,000 in college scholarships to 54 recent high school student-athlete graduates following final selections made recently by the OHSAA’s six District Athletic Boards. The OHSAA has conducted its annual college scholarship program for the last 21 years.

Of the 54 honorees, 42 will receive $1,000 awards, including six (one from each district) who will receive an OHSAA Minority Scholarship presented by Farmers Insurance. In addition, two students from each district will receive $2,000 awards made possible by the OHSAA Foundation. Nike and Molten have also contributed to the OHSAA scholarship program, as well as schools that participate in an OHSAA Foundation basketball game, which includes a fee given to the Foundation to fund their portion of the scholarships.

“These 54 youngsters had outstanding high school athletic careers and they also were exemplary students in the classroom,” said OHSAA Commissioner Dr. Dan Ross.

“They truly represent what it means to be a student-athlete and families and schools are to be commended for helping them achieve great things already. I would also like to personally thank the OHSAA Foundation

Bud Continued from page 9 That inconsistency and inability to win a Cup title with RCR had been frustrating for Harvick, and led to a revolving door of crew chiefs on the No. 29 the last several years. As Harvick went winless through the first 34 points races last year, it made sense to look around even though his contract ran through 2013.

He settled on a move to SHR, where he will drive for Stewart and get a chance to see if a fresh start will push him to the top of the series.

Chase SHR fields cars this season for Stewart, Ryan Newman and Danica Patrick. SHR could potentially field four cars in 2014, though Newman could be on the way out after this season.

“Budweiser is the leader in its industry and Kevin has proven himself year-after-year in our sport. It’s a partnership we welcome as it will make our entire organization stronger,” Stewart said.

Harvick has been with RCR in the Cup series since he replaced Dale

Earnhardt after his fatal crash in the 2001 Daytona 500.

“I can’t thank Richard Childress and everyone at RCR enough for everything they’ve done for my career,” Harvick added. “I was just trying to make a name for myself in the Truck Series and Richard believed in me enough to make me a part of his race team back in 1999. Without him, and without the hard work of so many people at RCR, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

Continued from page 9 back and we’ve been friends for a long time. We were teammates back in the 1980s, and we’re still friends today. I’m glad that he got back involved with sport after his accident. He’s surrounded himself with some good people over there at Limaland, and that race keeps getting better and better.We won the race a few years back and usually find a way to be in the mix. It’s a good track for Sprint car racing, and the fans always get to see a good show there.”

Saturday begins a stretch of races where the prestige is more than what you have most nights on the tour. Can winning one of these big money races change a season?

“It just depends on what kind of season you are having and what kind of expectations you have.I would say the only way it would not change your season is if you were winning everything.

Even with that, winning races like the Kings Royal is something that helps everyone around your team.From the driver to the crew to the owners to the sponsors, everyone feels the impact.

The Kings Royal sort of starts it off. If you can get

that one, you can try to be greedy at the other big races like the Silver Cup, Summer Nationals and ultimately the Knoxville Nationals. We haven’t had the best of seasons, so I’d definitely say winning Saturday night would be a great way to start changing our season.”

Donny Schatz, Driver of the No. 15 TSR/STP/Armor All/Chevrolet Performance J&J: Every season, the competition to win races gets tougher with the World of Outlaws (STP) Sprint Car Series, and the same has been true about winning the Brad Doty Classic. Is that the biggest reason seven different drivers have won the Brad Doty Classic in the last seven years?

“I’d say that every night there are a handful of guys capable of winning World of Outlaws races but,when you head to Ohio for Brad’s race and then on to the Kings Royal,that number probably doubles. The race at Limaland is always tough to win because there are usually more than 40 cars.With that many cars, there are always guys who miss the top-16 in qualifying and that makes the heat races even more intense. It’s a fun track where guys are racing anywhere

and everywhere. You certainly can’t ever relax.We’ve had some good runs there the past few years and come up short, but we also were able to get the job done two years ago. It’s a challenge, and I know the STP guys love a challenge.”

This will be the 30th annual Kings Royal. You made your debut at Eldora back in 1996 at the Kings Royal.

How much has the event changed since then?

“I’m not sure the event itself has changed much. It was great then and is just as great now. Fans flock to Eldora Speedway to see guys get up on the hill and try to get around there as fast as they can. They come to see the heat races where drivers have to throw caution to the wind and do whatever they can to get to the front fastest.

And then, it’s about seeing who can last 40 laps and climb up on the big chair and get crowned king for the year.The facility continues to get better and better. Earl (Baltes) built and incredible track and, since Tony (Stewart) took over, he has just continued to modernize it so fans,sponsors and the teams can enjoy one of the most intense single nights of Sprint car racing year after year.”

team played good ball, but fate seemed to be against us, especially in the last few seconds.”

In the first of two contests with Troy, the game ended in a 6-6 tie. “This was the first tie game of the season although Piqua should have won it. We met our old rival Troy, in one of the hardest fought battles of the year, and emerged from the contest with a tie score much to the surprise of everyone.

In the first quarter, Gavin recovered a Troy fumble and ran for a touchdown.

A short time after this, Troy also got a touchdown, tying the score. From then on to the end of the first half Troy outplayed Piqua.

But as usual, Piqua came back in the second half and outplayed Troy, although no more scoring was done by either side. There was no star on the Piqua team, as all the players played hard. The game was remarkable for the fine spirit not only between the opposing teams but also among the spectators.”

“Piqua went to Troy with the firm determination of winning another Thanksgiving Day game,

but was doomed to disappointment. Troy played much better in this game than in the first one. Rain began to fall during the first quarter and continued the rest of the game, making the field a sea of mud. In the first quarter Troy carried the ball, by a number of off-tackle bucks and end runs, to Piqua’s 10 yard line, where they carried the ball over on an end run, but failed to kick goal, making the score 12 to 0. In the third quarter Troy blocked one of Piqua’s punts, for a safety, thus increasing their score by 2. Then in the fourth quarter, Piqua scored a touchdown but failed to kick goal and the game ended 14 to 6 in favor of Troy. In this game the Troy and Piqua bands vied with each other, both displaying ability by playing in a down-pour of rain.

The record of the last ten years reveals the fact that Troy has won 12 games to Piqua’s 8, tied 2 and has run up 296 points to Piqua’s 277.”

This was the final season for head coach Mote.

In 5 years, he compiled a record of 21 wins, 19 losses and 5 ties.

Piqua backfield and some parts of the line played brilliantly. The final score was Piqua 13 and Grenville 0.”

“We went to Lima full of hope, resolved to win, as we remembered the defeat which Lima handed to us last year. But we were doomed to disappointment, although the team, as a whole, played by far the greatest game of the year. Lime scored the first touchdown in the first quarter, but failed to kick goal.

Then Piqua came back in the second quarter, evening up the score 6 to 6. In the beginning of the third quarter we got our second touchdown by an intercepted pass forward pass, kicked goal, and the score stood 13 to 6. But due to miscalled signals on the part of Piqua, Lima also intercepted a pass and evened up the score 13 to 13.

Thus the score remained, until the last few seconds of play, when in the gathering dusk, Lima pulled a hidden ball trick and secured the touchdown which gave them the 20 to 13 victory. Our whole

Mat Latos struggles as Reds fall to Braves, 6-5

BY CHARLES ODUM AP Sports Writer ATLANTA (AP) — Mat Latos said he picked a bad night to keep throwing the ball over the middle of the plate.

Latos gave up six runs and the Reds struggled to contain new All-Star Freddie Freeman in a 6-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Thursday.

Latos (8-3) lasted only four innings in his shortest start of the season. He gave up nine hits and walked two.

The six earned runs allowed matched his season high.

“He got a few balls in the heart of the plate,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said.

“That’s probably the worst outing Mat’s had since he’s been here.”

Latos agreed he was hurt by “laying the ball right down the middle.” He said the Braves’ lineup is imposing.

“That lineup’s stacked, one through eight,” Latos said.“It’s tough not to give up runs and give up hard-hit balls whenever you’re throwing the ball down the middle.

I just couldn’t make the adjustment.

“I made a couple good pitches when I needed to but all in all, I mean the ball was

“A load off the shoulders,” Freeman said. “They voted for you. You want to go out and deliver for them.”

The first baseman added run-scoring singles in the second and fourth innings.

Baker said it was Freeman’s day.

Sailors prepare to Race to Mackinac CHICAGO (AP) — Thousands of sailors are getting ready for this weekend’s Race to Mackinac,a 333-mile sailboat race across Lake Michigan.

The Chicago-to-Mackinac Island, Mich. race begins Saturday.

In its 105th year, the competition is the oldest annual freshwater distance race in the world. This year, 350 boats are set to participate in the around-the-clock challenge.

Most boats finish in 40 to 60 hours, but the record was set in 2002 when a team finished in 23 hours and 30 minutes.

In 2011, the race was marred by the deaths of two crew members when their Kiwi 35-foot sport boat capsized during a storm.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Sunday, July 14, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be tolerant and cooperative with others because the Moon is opposite your sign today, which means you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. Furthermore, it's easy for arguments to take place today. Go gently.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Don't be pushy about getting your way at work today because an argument might explode. Check out the lay of the land and carefully do whatever you can. Think things through first.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Relations with others, especially romantic partners or children - are delicate today. Disputes about money, earnings and responsibilities might arise. Easy does it.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) In your efforts to make improvements at home, you might anger someone.

Make sure you include everyone in your plans so no one feels caught off guard or excluded.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Choose your words carefully today because it's very easy to antagonize others even innocently. Be especially diplomatic when dealing with groups.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Because you have firm ideas about financial matters today, you might make demands about getting what you want. Remember: You can attract more flies with honey than vinegar.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Squabbles with authority figures might arise today; however, you are naturally charming and diplomatic.

Use your social skills to keep a lid on things.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Someone might be working against your best interests and he or she might be doing this behind the scenes.

If you think something fishy is going on - it is.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Avoid groups if you find you are at odds with someone today, which is likely. Don't wade into the fray. Instead, wait for another day to make your case.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Show respect and deference when dealing with authority figures today.

You'll be glad you did. If you have something important to say - today is not the day.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues because people will only fight and argue today.

Just sidestep these issues for your own self-preservation.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a poor day to discuss how to share something or divide an inheritance. People are argumentative and their judgment is skewed. Postpone these discussions until Tuesday the 16th.

YOU BORN TODAY Your strong quiet confidence is so seductive you can convince anyone of anything. You easily win the hearts of others with charm and good humor, and yet, you sometimes doubt your ability to do this. In the coming year, something you've been involved with for nine years will end or diminish to make room for something new.

Fatalities in train crash near Paris CLASSIFIEDS

BY GREG KELLER Associated Press

B R E T I G N Y- S U R ORGE, France (AP) — A train carrying hundreds of passengers derailed and crashed into a station outside Paris on Friday on the eve of a major holiday weekend. At least six people were killed and dozens were injured, including nine in critical condition, the Interior Ministry said.

The crash at Bretignysur-Orge station was the deadliest in France in years, and President Francois Hollande abandoned plans in the capital to visit the scene.

Some cars slid toward the station, crushing part of the metallic roof over the platform. Images from

the scene on French television showed gnarled metal and shards on the platform, and debris from the crash clogging the stairwell leading beneath the platform. “The train was unrecognizable. There was nothing, but metal scraps,�

20-year-old accounting apprentice Ben Khelifa told The Associated Press. His commuter train was on the adjacent track. “The train just collapsed, just like that, on its side‌ There was blood,â€? Khelifa said.

He added that he was one of a number of passengers in the adjacent train that went to help pull trapped survivors out of the wreckage. “People were screaming,

people were asking where their children were,� he said.

Another witness, Bazgua El Mehdi, 19, told Le Parisien newspaper, “I heard a loud noise. A cloud of sand covered everything,â€? “Then the dust dissipated. I thought it was a freight train, but then we saw the first casualties ‌ Many passengers on the (train) were crying.â€?

It was unclear whether all the casualties were inside the train, or whether some had been on the platform, or how fast the train was traveling. The head of the SNCF rail authority, Guillaume Pepy, called it a “catastrophe.�

The cause of the crash was under investigation.

The train’s third and fourth cars initially derailed, which then knocked the other cars off the track, Pepy said. “Some cars simply derailed, others are leaning, others fell over,� he said.

The Interior Ministry said six people died in the crash and nine were in critical condition. Earlier, Interior Minister Manuel Valls said seven people had been killed.

The SNCF said the train was carrying about 385 passengers when it derailed Friday evening at 5:15 p.m. (1515 GMT; 11:15 a.m. EDT) and crashed into the station at Bretigny-surOrge, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) south of Paris.

The train was headed from Paris to Limoges, a 400-

kilometer (250-mile) journey, and was about 20 minutes into what would have been a three-hour journey.

The accident came as France is preparing to celebrate its most important national holiday, Bastille Day, on Sunday, and as masses of vacationers are heading out of Paris and other big cities to see family or on summer vacation.

All trains from Paris’ Gare d’Austerlitz were suspended after the accident.

A passenger speaking on France’s BFM television said the train was going at a normal speed and wasn’t meant to stop at Bretigny-sur-Orge. He described children unattended in the chaotic aftermath.

Malala celebrates birthday with U.N. speech

BY EDITH M. LEDERER Associated Press UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teenager shot by the Taliban for promoting education for girls, celebrated her 16th birthday Friday by demanding, in her first public speech since the attack, that world leaders provide free compulsory schooling for every child.

In an impassioned address from the podium at the United Nations to more than 1,000 youth leaders from over 100 countries, Malala called for “a global struggle against illiteracy, poverty and terrorism.� “Let us pick up our books and our pens. They are our most powerful weapons,� she said. “One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can

change the world. Education is the only solution.

Education first.�

Malala, who wore a traditional pink Pakistani dress and pants called a shalwar kameez and a shawl that she said belonged to slain Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, began her speech with a traditional Muslim prayer.

She called herself just one of thousands of victims of the Taliban and said the bullet that entered the left side of her forehead last October, which the extremists thought would silence her, had not dimmed her ambitions to promote peace, education and prosperity.

Her head was covered in a traditional scarf and her face displayed little sign of injury.

Malala invoked Mohandas Gandhi and other

global advocates of non-violence stressing that “I’m not against anyone, neither am I here to speak in terms of personal revenge against the Taliban, or any other terrorist group.� “I’m here to speak about the right of education for every child,� she said. “I want education for the sons and daughters of all the Taliban and all the terrorists and extremists.

I do not even hate the Talib who shot me.�

But her main focus was on the 57 million children who aren’t in school today.

The U.N. designated July 12 “Malala Day,� and there were cheers, standing ovations and a round of “Happy Birthday� for her.

But she said “Malala Day is not my day. Today is the day of every woman, every boy and every girl who have raised their

voice for their rights.�

UNESCO and Save the Children released a special reported entitled “Children Battling To Go To School,� ahead of Malala’s speech.

The report found that 95 percent of the 28.5 million children who aren’t getting a primary school education live in low and lower-middle income countries 44 percent in sub-Saharan Africa, 19 percent in south and west Asia and 14 percent in the Arab states.

Girls make up 55 percent of the total and are often the victims of rape and other sexual violence that accompanies armed conflicts.

The study found that in 2012 there were more than 3,600 documented attacks on education, including violence, torture and intimidation against

children and teachers resulting in death or grave injuries, as well as the shelling and bombing of schools and the recruitment of school-aged children by armed groups.

According to the report, while the number of primary school age children who are not getting an education has fallen to 57 million in 2011 from 60 million in 2008, during that period the percentage of youth in conflict-affected countries who aren’t at primary school rose to 50 percent from 42 percent. “Across many of the world’s poorest countries, armed conflict continues to destroy not just school infrastructure, but also the hopes and ambitions of a whole generation of children,� UNESCO’s Director-General Irina Bokova said.

Police: Teen in plane crash killed by truck

BY TERRY COLLINS Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — One of the Chinese teenagers who died in the Asiana Airlines disaster was struck by a fire truck while she was covered in foam that crews had sprayed to douse the fire aboard the plane, police said Friday.

It wasn’t clear, however, whether 16-year-old Ye Meng Yuan was already dead or whether she was alive after the crash Saturday at San Francisco airport.

Authorities were still trying to determine the cause of death, and San Mateo County coroner Robert Foucrault said his initial results would likely be released sometime next week. He would not comment on the police investigation. “The police department is responsible for the accident investigation, and my office is responsible for determining the cause and manner of death,� Foucrault said.

Police officials confirmed that she was hit by the truck. She was on the ground and covered in the foam. “When the fire truck repositioned itself to continue battling flames from the fuselage, the victim passenger was found in the tire track of the fire truck,� police spokesman Albie Esparza said.

Asiana Flight 214 collided with a rocky seawall just short of its intended airport runway on Saturday. Two people were killed and dozens of others injured although most suffered minor injuries. Investigators have said the plane came in too low and slow.

Nearly a week after the crash, investigators have pieced together an outline of the event what should have been a smooth landing by seasoned pilots turning into a disaster.

With each new bit of information, the picture emerging is of pilots who were supposed to be closely monitoring the plane’s airspeed, but who didn’t realize until too late that the aircraft was dangerously low and slow.

Nothing disclosed so far by the National Transportation Safety Board investigators indicates any problems with the Boeing

(NYSE:BA) 777’s engines or the functioning of its computers and automated systems. “The first thing that’s taught to a pilot is to look at the airspeed indicator. It is the most important instrument in the cockpit,� said Lee Collins, a pilot with 29 years and 18,000 hours experience flying a variety of airliners. “Airspeed is everything. You have airspeed, you live. You don’t, you die.�

Investigators are still trying to nail down hundreds of details about the crash last Saturday that killed two people and injured dozens. NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman has cautioned against reaching conclusions.

But investigators already know a great deal. They’ve listened to the Boeing 777’s voice recorder, which captured the last two hours of conversation in the cockpit. They’ve downloaded its flight data recorder, which captured 1,400 indicators of what was happening on the plane, from the temperatures inside and out to the positions of cockpit instruments.

The flight’s four pilots have been interviewed, as have passengers and dozens of witnesses.

Air traffic control recordings and video of the flight’s last moments, including the crash itself, have been examined.

Here’s what investigators have revealed about a Seoul-to-San Francisco flight that was normal until its last minutes, when the wide-body jet carrying 307 people rapidly lost altitude: The pilot flying the plane, Lee Gang-kuk, 46, had nearly 10,000 hours of flying experience, but just 35 hours flying a Boeing 777.

He had recently completed training that qualified him to fly passengers in the 777, and was about halfway through his post-qualification training. He was seated in the left cockpit pilot seat. In the co-pilot position was Lee JeongMin, an experienced captain who was supervising Lee Gang-kuk’s training. It was Lee Gang-kuk’s first time landing a 777 in San Francisco.

At 11:19:23 PDT, after a nearly 11-hour flight, the plane was traveling over the San Francisco Peninsula. The weather was near perfect, sunny with light winds.

Lee Jeong-Min and a third

pilot sitting in a jump seat just behind the main seats, a first officer, were supposed to be monitoring the plane’s controls. One of their most important jobs was to closely monitor the plane’s two airspeed indicators. In the U.S., if an amber bar is more than five knots above or below the target speed during landing, the pilot flying is supposed to abort and make another attempt, according to pilots interviewed by The Associated Press.

As the plane descended to 1,600 feet, the autopilot was turned off. At 1,400 feet, the plane’s airspeed was about 170 knots.

The flight data recorder shows the plane’s autothrottle similar to a car’s cruise control was set on idle during the approach, Hersman said, and that there were multiple commands at times given to the autothrottle and autopilot.

At 11:26:58 and 1,000 feet, the pilots made contact with the airport tower. When they were cleared to land 12 seconds later, the plane’s altitude had dropped to about 600 feet. The plane was configured for its approach and the landing gear was down. The airspeed was about 149 knots. A target speed of 137 knots was set.

At 500 feet there was an audible automated altitude alert. The airspeed was about 134 knots. At this point that pilots realized they weren’t properly lined up with the runway, Hersman said. “Between 500 and 200 feet, they had a lateral deviation and they were low. They were trying to correct at that point,� she said.

At 200 feet and another automated altitude call out, the airspeed had slowed to 118 knots well below the target level.

At this point, U.S. pilots would typically call for an aborted landing because the plane was more than 5 knots below its target speed, Collins said. But at no point in between 500 and 100 feet does the voice recorder show the pilots making any comment related to airspeed, Hersman said at a briefing Thursday.

Hersman said at earlier briefings that it was not until 200 feet 16 seconds before impact that Lee Jeong-Min, the instructor pilot “recognized the auto-throttles were not maintaining speed.�

At 125 feet and 112 knots, both throttles started moving forward, indicating more fuel was being sent to the engines to increase power and speed. That was eight seconds before impact. Even if the autothrottles weren’t fully turned on, either of the pilots in the two front seats could reach down and manually push the throttle levers forward to increase power.

It was about this time that the cockpit voice recorder indicated the first officer the third pilot seating behind the front two pilots realized the plane was traveling too slowly and called for an increase in speed.

A second later, Lee Gang-kuk’s yoke can be heard rattling violently on the voice recorder. This is the sound of a stick shaker going off, a piece of safety equipment that tells a pilot the plane is about to stall because it has slowed to a dangerous speed and lost lift.

When the pilots in the two front seats realized the plane was in trouble, they both reached for the throttle. Passengers heard a loud roar as the plane revved up in a last-minute attempt to abort the landing.

At three seconds before impact, the plane reached its slowest speed of 103 knots. Its engines were at 50 percent power and power was increasing. At this time, one of the pilots called for an aborted landing.

At one and a half seconds before impact, another of the pilots calls for an aborted landing.

At 11:28, with the airspeed up three knots, the landing gear, followed by the plane’s tail, collided with the seawall just short of Runway 28 Left. The plane careened wildly before slamming down onto the tarmac and sliding about 1,000 feet. The tail was sheared off and three flight attendants seated in the back of the plane fell out. Rocks from the seawall and pieces of the mangled landing gear were strewn along the runway.

The NTSB’s investigation is being followed closely by pilots in the U.S. and around the world. At one gathering of pilots in Dallas Wednesday night, the discussion centered on why the Asiana pilots didn’t realize their low speed sooner. No one had an answer.

God looked around his garden and he found an empty place.

He then looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.

Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain.

He knew that you would never get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb So he closed your weary eyelids, and whispered, â&#x20AC;&#x153;peace be thine.â&#x20AC;?

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go alone, For part of us went with you the day God called you home.
