Azai M. Wheeler, 23, entered the not guilty pleas to three counts of unlawful sexual conduct involving a minor, felonies that carry possible prison time and sex offender registration.

Wheeler was given a recognizance bond.

A Miami County grand jury indicted Wheeler on the charges, which stem from her alleged misconduct involving a juvenile boy in West Milton.

According to her indictment, Wheeler allegedly committed the sex crimes on three separate occasions in November involving a minor victim who is older than 13, but less than 16 years of age.

A pretrial conference is scheduled for Wheeler on June 3.

Mary Ellen Simon — WILLOWDELL Mary Ellen Simon, of Willowdell, passed away on May 24, 2013. She was born on Oct. 3, 1926, and was the beloved daughter of Ernest (Ray) and Stella Mae (Pittsenbarger) Hahn and the adored big sister to Robert Hahn. Prior to her marriage, Mary Ellen worked at the Buckeye and also at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. In 1948 Mary Ellen married Robert Edward Simon, who preceded her in death on July 16, 1992. As newlyweds they moved to Willowdell after Bob’s parents died, to raise his two younger siblings. Mary Ellen always believed that family came first and she worked tirelessly to keep family traditions alive for the young Simon siblings after their parents passed.

She never quit this calling, gathering as many of her children and grandchildren together for every holiday as possible. Mary Ellen was addicted to handiwork, completing numerous quilts for her children and making certain that every grandchild, great grandchild and many great nieces and nephews all had a special quilt. She also greatly enjoyed vegetable gardening, canning and freezing many meals for the winter to come. Family favorites were hot cocoa, the best applesauce ever made and her chocolate dessert which she made for every family gathering for the past 30 years.

She was a lifelong member of the Osgood American Legion Auxiliary where she made countless pies for meals and social occasions. She joined St. Denis Catholic Church upon her marriage and was a devout member ever since. Mary Ellen felt it was her privilege to visit friends, former neighbors and family members in hospitals and nursing homes as she believed

She was preceded in death by her parents, Ernest and Stella Hahn, her husband of 44 years, Robert Edward Simon, and a son in law, Jerry Mescher; brothers in law, Dick Simon and John Simon. Although she will be sorely missed by her family, her greatest gift was in making each of her children believe they were her favorite.

In addition, Hall also had warrants for his arrest out of Shelby County, authorities said.

Troy officers disengaged from the pursuit but the suspect was later tailed by an undercover sheriff’s deputy in an unmarked car before Piqua detectives, also in an un-

marked car, followed the suspect to his place of arrest in Piqua, according to the Piqua Police Department.

Piqua Deputy Chief Marty Grove said officers waited until Hall parked his vehicle to make the arrest in an effort to avoid a high-speed pursuit through the city.

There were no injuries or damages reported as a result of the chase, authorities said.

WHITE MARSH, Md. (AP) — A CSX cargo train crashed into a trash truck and derailed Tuesday in a Baltimore suburb and the explosion that followed rattled homes at least a half-mile away and collapsed nearby buildings, setting them on fire, officials and witnesses said.

The train went off the tracks at about 2 p.m. in White Marsh, about 10 miles northeast of Baltimore. Hazmat teams were on the scene, but fire officials did not have immediate information on what might be still be burning.

Baltimore County Public Safety tweeted that if residents and others can see the smoke plume, they should evacuate the area, at least within 20 blocks.

At least 15 cars derailed, said Baltimore County Fire Chief John J. Hohman.

Dale Walston said he lives about a half-mile away from the blast site and that the smell of chemicals is very strong.

“It shook my house pretty violently and knocked things off the shelves,” he said in an email to The Associated Press.

The thick plume of black smoke was visible for

miles, the smoke drifting across the Baltimore city line and covering the eastern part of the city.

More than one video posted to Facebook shows the fire, then minutes later, an explosion rattles the area. Hohman said firefighters were letting the blazes burn out. Officials were considering evacuating the area, but it’s mostly an area of commercial buildings, he said.

Photos and video on TV stations showed at least three rail cars off the tracks. Overhead news shots show several blackened buildings and fires burning. Fire department spokeswoman Louise Rogers Feher said several buildings “fell apart.” They also showed a tractortrailer overturned near the front of the crash.

County executive Kevin Kamenetz told WBAL-TV that the truck driver was in serious but stable condition. The fire department tweeted that two CSX workers aboard weren’t injured.

A worker at a nearby Dunkin’ Donuts, Tawan Rai, reached by The Associated Press by phone, said he saw a fire and flames by the railroad tracks at first, then felt a thundering blast that sent smoke pouring into the sky.

TROY — Lloyd White, 81, of Troy, passed away at 4 a.m. Friday, May 24, 2013, at his residence. He was born March 2, 1932, i n Dumas, Ark., to the late Robert a n d Rosie (Turntine) White.

He was m a r - WHITE ried to Lulu Williams, who preceded him in death.

Lloyd is survived by one son and daughter-in-law, William and Belinda White of Troy; two daughters and one son-in-law, Edna Pearl Taylor of Little Rock, Ark.; Laura Ann and Reginald Smith of Jackson, Mich.; three sisters, Edna Washington of Troy; Versie Lee Summerville of Pine Bluff, Ark.; and Ophelia Harrell of Pine Bluff, Ark.; 18 grandchildren and several greatgrandchildren; a special

Project SEARCH celebrates Summer arrives

Nine young adults’ achievements recognized TROY – Taylor Stewart said Project SEARCH helped her open up and communicate better. It also helped her land a job at Menard’s. Stewart of Sidney was among nine young people with disabilities whose accomplishments were acknowledged during the 2012-13 Project SEARCH Celebration on May 17 at Upper Valley Medical Center.

Before Project SEARCH fear of new situations hindered Stewart’s communication, but experiences through the program at UVMC provided an opportunity to gain confidence. Project SEARCH is a high school transition program designed to provide training and education on the road to employment for individuals with disabilities. It was launched in Cincinnati in 1996 and introduced at UVMC via the Upper Valley Career Center in 2010.

Local Project SEARCH partners, in addition to UVMC, include the Upper Valley Career Center in Piqua, the Board of Developmental Disabilities in Miami and Shelby counties, Capabilities Inc. and the state Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation. The goal of the nine-month program is to help each of the interns become “a more independent person” and ready to compete in the job market, said Patti Moore, Upper Valley Project SEARCH coordinator, She works with the interns, job coaches and work site supervisors at UVMC. Moore emphasized that the interns are not actual employees, but are “strictly students in training” during the program, with the vision of tapping into a career path.

Summer makes an appearance for the middle part of the week. Increasing sunshine and dry weather head this way today and Thursday, as highs approach the middle to upper 80s.

Project SEARCH participants show appreciation to leader Patti Moore with a group hug following the 2013 Project SEARCH celebration at Upper Valley Medical Center.

Each student deferred receiving their high school diploma to participate in the program. This year’s interns and their high schools were: Jessica Dye, Bradford; Michael Fletcher, Bradford; Brian Gold, Sidney; Luis Gonzalez-Resto, Graham; Bre’Anna Harrison-Lee, Troy; Ashley Mullins, Bradford; Ashley Shoffner, Sidney; Taylor Stewart, Fairlawn; and Ashley Weber, Sidney.

“This is one of the most amazing programs,” said Matt Meyer, Upper Valley Career Center Director of Student Services.

The Project SEARCH Interns demonstrate job characteristics he hears about constantly from potential employers, Meyer said.

Among them: being at work every day, being on time and doing the job to the best of their ability. Jim Hurak, UVMC Vice President, noted

the growth in the Project SEARCH participation from four interns the first year to nine in 2012-13.

“It is our honor, our pleasure,” Hurak said of UVMC hosting the Project SEARCH site and the rotation of program interns through a growing number of departments including rehabilitation, nutrition services, cardiopulmonary, plant operations, environmental services, Outpatient Center South and volunteer services.

Nearly 40 UVMC employees were directly involved as supervisors and mentors this past year, Moore said.

However, she added, “Everyone here makes a difference in the interns’ lives … (through) your daily treatment of them as professionals.” Hurak said interns helped with an array of projects from greeting hospital visitors to providing direc-

tions with the closing of the Physician Office Building entrance for construction, to planting tulips along with assisting with the day to day operations in each department. “I am sure each department would have stories to share on mentoring and learning from each other,” he said. “We have a great learning experience with this.”

During the program, Meyer on behalf of the Career Center, presented UVMC with an Ohio School Boards Association’s 2013 Business Honor Roll award.

The program allows schools to recognize special business partners for their contributions. “The difference UVMC makes in these lives is amazing as well,” Meyer said.

The award, he said, recognized UVMC’s commitment to Upper Valley Project SEARCH. It was presented to Hurak and Becky Rice, UVMC Vice President.

Cheating charges handed down

Serving Piqua since 1883

“Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.”

(Psalms 1:1 AKJV)

Guest Column

Light in the darkness Beauty draws the human heart and can help ennoble or tear down,” Ashley Crouch, an editor at a new magazine called Verily, tells me.

I thought of her comment as I heard the story of a 94-year-old woman in Moore, Okla., who lost her home to the recent tornado that swept through the town and leveled an elementary school. Instead of weep for what she had lost, she found a stack of $100 bills that survived the storm and started handing them out to others who stood in the debris that was once their neighborhood. She had lost, but she gave what she had.

Part of our rush to watch scenes of devastation on live television has to do with our longing for hope and purpose. We need to know how people begin again when the storm stops. What is it that gives people in Haiti who lose what seems like everything the fortitude to keep going, even rejoice? Hope. Gratitude.

Faith.

Jenny Hubbard is “at complete peace,” she says. She is one of the parents who lost a child in the horrific shooting in Newtown, Conn. just before Christmas.

“I knew the moment I arrived at the fireKATHY LOPEZ house on the morning Columnist of Dec. 14 that Cather-

“

ine was in heaven,” she has said. She lost her beautiful redheaded daughter, but she chooses to honor the gift of her daughter’s life by continuing to love in gratitude for that gift. In an Easter interview with a local reporter, she said that there are people who think that she is in denial. But she knows exactly what happened. “I choose not to dwell on that,” she says. “Because to do that allows the devil to win. God didn’t do this. The devil did and he thought we would crumble. But the devil was wrong. It has made us stronger physically and spiritually — as people, as families, as a town.”

Recently, on a train near Philadelphia, I was furiously searching for Wi-Fi as a jury there was about to announce the verdict in the ghastly case of late-term abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell. During the course of the trial, it became increasingly evident that lateterm abortions themselves are a gruesome business.

Next to me, as I wrote and commissioned other writers to react to the verdict on National Review’s website, there was Jim, a Vietnam vet with what he told me were smoking-related disabilities, savoring every minute. He was on the way to Richmond to care for his mother, who was undergoing hip surgery and needed a hand. For his part, he told me his kids had all stopped smoking, and medicine has blessed him with keeping him around so far to get to know his grandkids.

Between coughs, he declared himself as fortunate as they come: He’s been married for decades to a woman who loves him more than, he says, he deserves. “God has blessed me,” said Jim. “And he still does. I wish I had taken better care of myself. But if this dang cough can help others appreciate their good health and take better care of themselves, I’m grateful for the opportunity.”

“Pope Benedict XVI wrote: “The one who has hope lives differently; the one who hopes has been granted the gift of a new life.”

Which brings me back to Verily, the new women’s magazine. Its inspirational first issue, on stands now, seeks to remind women that they have an inherent beauty, to help them celebrate, enjoy and share it. It helps raise expectations.

“We want to bring beauty into this world by showing representations that uplift the whole person,” editor Crouch tells me. “We hope to create a more positive culture in which women feel safer in their own bodies and are allowed to thrive as the beautiful, multi-dimensional people they are.”

“Let us be like the lark, enemy of the night, who always announces the dawn and awakens in each creature the love of light and life,” Elisabeth Leseur wrote around the turn of the last century. Beacons of hope, in tragedy and in everyday life, do this. When we see our life as a gift, with all its challenges and heartaches, we hold doors open for one another, we say thank you, we live differently than the darker aspects of our culture would seem to dictate. We curse the darkness by living life with love.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Five people in the Cincinnati area were indicted Tuesday after prosecutors say they cheated at Ohio’s fourth and newest casino.

The five were caught either adding or removing chips from bets after they knew the outcome of the game, prosecutors said.

They were captured on surveillance cameras in March, the same month the casino opened, and identified using their own players’ cards and Bureau of Motor Vehicle records.

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph Deters said at a news conference that the suspects cheated despite at least 1,000 surveillance cameras inside and outside the $400 million Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati.

“For someone to believe that he or she can get away with it like these individuals did is idiotic,” Deters said.

He said that he’s also sure the five people were “shocked” about the indictments, since they’re facing charges of cheating in March and probably thought they had gotten away with it.

Warrants have been issued for their arrest but Deters said he didn’t think they had yet been taken into custody by Tuesday morning. If convicted, they could face anywhere from probation to two years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

Karen Huey, director of enforcement at the Ohio Casino Control Commission, traveled to Cincinnati from Columbus for the news conference and said that cheaters have showed up at all four casinos almost immediately after they first opened.

“The trend is once the casino opens, we do see a flurry of cheating cases,” she said. “We attribute that to the newness of the dealers, the newness of the facility. A lot of people try to come in and test the facility.”

All four of the state’s casinos, approved by voters in 2009 to boost Ohio’s economy, opened within 10 months of each other this year and last, beginning with Toledo and Cleveland in May. Columbus’ opened in October, and Cincinnati’s opened March 4.

The state has caught about 10 cheaters each month since Cleveland’s casino opened.

Confused teen who had sex now regrets that she did DEAR ABBY: I’m a 14year-old girl who recently had sex with my boyfriend. It was the first time for both of us. A week and a half later, we had a big fight.

Another problem is I am having a lot of feelings for his best friend, and he has feelings for me, too. I don’t want to tell my boyfriend because I love him and don’t want to lose him. I also don’t want to ruin his friendship with the other guy.

My boyfriend wants to have sex again, but I don’t.

I wish I could take it back.

What can I do?

Advice something compels her to fill every silence with monologue.

Her personal and work relationships suffer because of it. It’s hard for her to hold a job, and she often becomes upset over this co-worker’s or that family member’s behavior.

It is always the other person’s failure, yet she is always in the center of the commotion.

She has had a tough life, partly of her own making. If I try to send subtle cues of uninterest, she doesn’t pick up on them and keeps talking and talking. I feel sorry for her. Is there anything I can do to help her, without seeming critical?

— EXHAUSTED LISTENER IN HAWAII DEAR EXHAUSTED: Not knowing your friend, I can only guess what drives her to talk compulsively. Some people do it because they feel the need to prove to others how smart they are. Others do it out of nervousness or insecurity because they are uncomfortable with silence — even if it is a mopause in mentary conversation.

Because her behavior has had a negative impact on her employability, the next time she mentions problems at work, it would be a kindness to suggest to her that, because it’s happening repeatedly, she discuss it with a psychologist. That’s not hurtful; it’s helpful.

By timing his plays properly, South can meet this goal, setting up an extra club trick in dummy to take care of his diamond loser. He begins by winning the spade lead with the ace, then plays a club to the ace and ruffs a club.

Next he cashes the K-A of hearts and learns that East has a trump trick coming. He then cashes the king of clubs, discarding a diamond, and ruffs a club, establishing

It would be easy to make six hearts on this deal if you could see all the cards. You ruff a spade in dummy, take a trump finesse through East and finish with 12 tricks, losing only a diamond. But in real life the hand is not that simple. Since you have nine trumps in the combined hands, you might feel tempted to cash the A-K and so end up down one.

Situations of this sort occur frequently. In general, when missing four to

the queen in a suit, it is best to play the A-K rather than finesse against the queen. This approach will succeed slightly more often over the long haul.

Declarer should conclude that since there is no good reason to play the trumps abnormally, he will have to lose a trump trick if either opponent started with three to the queen.

He should therefore focus on the problem of trying to find a way to escape a diamond loser should the

GOLDEN YEARS

Celebrating birthdays W e are having a light rain this morning which we are so thankful for.

Yesterday we also had some rain and it sure has made my garden perk up.

I think we will be having radishes to use soon.

Daughter Lovina and her friends here for the night on Monday. They had lots of fun. Lovina wanted cupcakes instead of cake. We put 9 candles on the cupcakes for her to blow out. We had a thunderstorm in the early morning hours which woke up all the little girls for awhile.

Our hearts go out to all the people that lost loved ones or their homes in the recent tornadoes. I cannot imagine how scary it must be to be in the path of a tornado.

May God be their guide throughout this trial. Sister Emma and her daughter Elizabeth assisted us with our work yesterday. I don’t know what we would do without their help.

Neighbor Susan and a few other ladies from church offered to help prepare for church services. It seems I am more behind this time in getting ready.

Daughter Elizabeth and Susan will start following instructions in preparation for baptism when church services are here on June 2. Such a joy it brings to us as parents to see our children want to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior. When a girl follows instructions the custom is to wear a black dress and a white cape and apron each church Sunday. Both girls dresses are cut out, but not sewn yet. My goal. Is to work on that today. I enjoy sewing more than cleaning so my birthday dream to myself is to sew instead of clean today. 42 years ago on May 22 I was born to very loving parents, Ben and Elizabeth Coblentz. How I appreciate all they taught me.

old at that time. God had other plans. We will cherish the memories of them always. Jacob, Emma,and family are planning to come tonight for supper in honor of my birthday. Also daughter Elizabeth’s friend, Timothy, and daughter Susan’s friend, Mose.

My husband Joe gave me a large laundry spinner for my birthday. I was very happy for it and used it Monday for the first time. The clothes dried a lot faster than usual. It will be especially nice in the winter months when we dry our clothes in the basement. Until next week: Zucchinis season will soon be here. Try out this recipe:

GETTYSBURG, Pa. (AP) — The commemoration of this year’s milestone anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg will include amenities that soldiers would have relished 150 years ago.

A groomed path to the top of Little Round Top. Expanded cellphone coverage. Dozens of portable toilets.

The National Park Service and a cadre of community organizers are busily putting the finishing touches on preparations for the commemoration of the pivotal battle of the American Civil War that cemented this small Pennsylvania town’s place in U.S history. Tens of thousands of visitors are expected for a 10-day schedule of events that begin June 29.

“I think we’re ready,” Bob Kirby, superintendent of Gettysburg National Military Park, said in a recent interview . “We’re ready for what the world would like to see.”

But that doesn’t necessarily mean just flooding the historical 6,000-acre battlefield, and surrounding town, with the modern comforts of home. To help visitors better understand what happened at the Battle of Gettysburg on July 1-3, 1863, the National Park Service first decided to look back.

There were about 51,000 casualties — historical estimates put the total dead around 7,500 — at Gettysburg, considered a major turning point of the war after Northern forces turned away a Confederate advance.

act way too big for their britches? A know-it-all gets old soon enough, but an overbearing, domineering seven-year-old gets old in a New York minute.

Most grandparents have a low tolerance for this sort of behavior. You seem guilty of the wishful thinking that your grandson’s verbal skill means he’s a precocious youngster that will conquer the world. But your husband’s reaction is closer to the truth.

Alex needs to learn about boundaries. Everyone’s opinion is valued, but it’s valued in turn, and grandchildren rank last in the family pecking order.

Your little Mr. Know-It-All is likely more intelligent than average with a high desire for acceptance. To break him of his unfortunate habit, appeal to these same qualities. Tell him that his talkative behavior can create resentments, and that smart people don’t act in a manner that turns others against them.

band sure isn’t. Once my husband tried to change the subject and Alex told him he was interrupting.

Ever since then, my husband calls him “that bigmouth bore.”

I don’t know where Alex gets all his ideas. He is an only child so he gets lots of attention. I understand why my husband is so annoyed. All that non-stop babble gets on my nerves too. But it makes his grandmother proud to have such a confident young man for a grandson. I think Alex is shaping up to become a take-charge guy. Give me a confident grandchild over a wimpy mouse grandchild every day. So I tell my husband to grin and bear it.

“We missed so much the last time, and it was so hot, (my husband and I) didn’t dare to get out of the car,” Eefsting joked. “So this weather is better.”

The park will be much more crowded, too, in a couple of months — about 200,000 visitors are expected for anniversary week in late June and early July, according to Carl Whitehill, a spokesman for the Gettysburg Convention & Visitors Bureau. Most of the area’s 2,600 hotel rooms are booked, and visitors are also taking up rooms from as far away as Frederick, Md., about 35 miles south.

Some visitors may bypass the park entirely to attend either one of the two battle re-enactments taking place on the weekends bookending the midweek anniversary events. Such re-enactments are held on private property, not park grounds.

The summertime events are just one of the highlights of a 150th anniversary commemoration that’s been in the works for years.

Another major gathering is planned in November for the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address, which President Abraham Lincoln famously delivered at the dedication ceremony for Soldiers’ National Cemetery.

The address began with the words “Four score and seven years ago.”

Kirby said an invitation has been extended to President Barack Obama to attend November’s event.

Home Sweet Home Motel that once stood across the street from a monument for Ohio soldiers just didn’t provide the right feel. The forest that had grown in the distance from a Minnesota monument didn’t accurately represent the thicket-laden terrain that soldiers encountered 150 years ago.

The battlefield rehabilitation process grew out of a master plan in 1999 that didn’t set the 150th anniversary in 2013 as a deadline — though it was a welcome and timely coincidence. The rehab work, which is mostly complete, is concentrated on areas of “major battle action.”

“You can’t ever go back in time to 1863, but you can deal with the major features so you can better understand the story,” Kirby said.

Other fresh elements have been added in recent years, including an airy visitor center that opened in 2008, operated by the Gettysburg Foundation on behalf of and in partnership with the National Park Service.

It’s bound to attract scores of newcomers as well as repeat visitors. The park typically attracts 1.2 million visitors a year — a mark that park officials expect to easily exceed.

Margaret Eefsting, of Grand Rapids, Mich., returned recently for a weeklong trip to tour the battlefield, just three years after her most recent visit to Gettysburg.

“If it takes me all day, I will cover this battlefield,” she exclaimed as she descended the path in the process of being freshly groomed at Little Round Top. The hill was the site of fierce fighting that gained extra notoriety in the 1993 movie “Gettysburg,” which

Patients Benefit from Coumadin Clinic at WMH SIDNEY – Patients at risk for blood clots and prescribed Coumadin, or anticoagulation (blood thinning) therapy by their physician, can benefit from services provided through Wilson Memorial Coumadin Hospital’s Clinic.

“Millions of Americans are on Coumadin therapy, a medication that prevents blood from clotting,” said Dr. Rehan Ahmed, cardiologist and medical director of the WMH PROVIDED PHOTO

NEW YORK (AP) — Seven months after Superstorm Sandy, the Red Cross still hasn’t spent more than a third of the $303 million it raised to assist victims of the storm, a strategy the organization says will help address needs that weren’t immediately apparent in the disaster’s wake.

Some disaster relief experts say that’s smart planning. But others question whether the Red Cross, an organization best known for rushing into disasters to distribute food and get people into shelter, should have acted with more urgency in the weeks after the storm and left long-haul recovery tasks to someone else.

“The Red Cross has never been a recovery operation.

Their responsibility has always been mass care,” said Ben Smilowitz, executive director of the Disaster Accountability Project, a nonprofit group that monitors aid groups. “Stick with what you’re good at.”

Storm victims could have used more help this past winter, said Kathleen McCarthy, director of the Center for the Study of Philanthropy and Civil Society at the City University of New York.

“People were cold. Homes mildewed. There wasn’t enough decent housing,” she said.“Given the lingering despair, it’s hard to understand the argument that ‘We are setting that money aside.’”

As Americans open their wallets to assist tornado vic-

BY JIM VERTUNO AP Sports Writer AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Nike, which helped build LanceArmstrong’s Livestrong cancer charity into a global brand and introduced its familiar yellow wristband,is cutting ties with the foundation in the latest fallout from the former cyclist’s doping scandal.

The move by the sports shoe and clothing company ends a relationship that began in 2004 and helped the foundation raise more than $100 million, making the charity’s bracelet an international symbol for cancer survivors.

But the relationship soured with revelations of performance-enhancing drug use by Armstrong and members of his U.S. Postal Service team.

Nike said Tuesday it will stop making its Livestrong line of apparel after the 2013 holiday season. Foundation and company officials said Nike will honor the financial terms of its contract until it expires in 2014.

Those terms were not disclosed.

Nike dropped its personal sponsorship of Armstrong last October after U.S. Anti-Doping Agency exposed the team doping program and portrayed Armstrong as its ringleader. And after years of denials, Armstrong admitted earlier this year he used performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France seven times.

Officials at Livestrong, which announced the split on Tuesday, said the foundation remains strong and committed to helping cancer patients worldwide through its survivorship programs.

Armstrong, who started the charity in 1997 as the LanceArmstrong Foundation,was pushed off the board of directors in October and the organization later changed its formal name to Livestrong.

In a statement,Livestrong officials said the foundation is “deeply grateful” to Nike.

“Together,we created new,revolutionary ways of thinking about how non-profits fuel their mission and we’re proud of that,” the foundation said.

A Nike spokesman did not immediately return a telephone message seeking comment.

Armstrong declined comment, noting he no longer has a relationship with Livestrong or Nike.

Livestrong officials say the charity remains on solid financial ground.

“This news will prompt some to jump to negative conclusions about the foundation’s future.We see things quite differently.We expected and planned for changes like this and are therefore in a good position to adjust swiftly and move forward with our patient-focused work,” the foundation said.

The foundation said it reduced its budget nearly 11 percent in 2013 to $38.4 million, but said Tuesday that revenue is already 2.5 percent ahead of projections. The foundation also noted that last month, it received a fourstar rating from Charity Navigator,which evaluates charities based on financial health, accountability and transparency.

tion, consultation, medication monitoring and other services, such as immediate protime/INR test results.

Located at the hospital in Outpatient Services, the Coumadin Clinic is staffed by nurses who have been trained in anticoagulation care. These nurses work as a team with WMH pharmacists and primary care providers to oversee each patient’s treatment.

All patients receiving

treatment from the clinic must have a physician’s referral. To schedule an appointment, or for more information, call the Coumadin Clinic at (937) 494-5209.

Much of Red Cross Sandy aid still unspent

Nike cuts ties to Livestrong

Coumadin Clinic.

“Coumadin is a powerful and effective drug, but it also has serious potential side effects if the patient’s response to the medication changes. That is why it is important for proper monitoring and management.”

The Coumadin Clinic at WMH works in collaboration with referring physicians to provide close supervision for effectiveness of the Coumadin therapy, providing educa-

tims in Oklahoma, the Red Cross is again emerging as one of the most important relief organizations on the ground and also one of the most prodigious fundraisers for victims.As of Thursday, it had raised approximately $15 million in donations and pledges for the tornado response, including a $1 million gift from NBA star Kevin Durant and numerous $10 donations, pledged via text.

The Red Cross was also the No. 1 recipient of donations after Sandy.The organization said it still had $110 million remaining from its pool of storm donations as of mid-April, which were the most recent figures available.

Red Cross officials pledged that all the money in its Sandy fund will eventually be spent on the storm recovery and not diverted to other disasters or used to support general Red Cross operations.

Over the next few months, the Red Cross expects to spend as much as $27 million of its remaining Sandy donations on a program providing “move-in assistance” grants of up to $10,000 to families displaced by the storm. About 2,000 households have been assisted by the program so far, with an additional 4,000 waiting for an eligibility determination.

Part of the delay in spending, officials said, is to wait to see how the hardest-hit states allocate a $60 billion pot of federal relief dollars and address gaps in the government aid package.

“We are waiting to see where the greatest need is

going to be over time,” said Josh Lockwood, CEO of the Red Cross Greater New York Region. “We are more concerned with spending our resources wisely rather than quickly.”

Some disaster relief experts said holding funds in reserve was indeed a smart move.

Much of the toughest and most expensive relief work after a natural disaster comes not during the initial months but during the longterm rebuilding phase after the public’s attention has waned and new donations have stopped flowing, said Patrick Rooney, associate dean at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.

“It would be splashier, perhaps, to spend the money right away while the media is still there and the donors are still looking,” he said.

“But the important needs, from the cost perspective and the recipient perspective, take place after the headlines are gone and after the cameras are gone.”

Red Cross officials noted that a year after a tornado killed 158 people in Joplin, Mo., it found itself providing a new round of mental health services to survivors.

The cholera epidemic that killed thousands of people following a massive earthquake in Haiti, where the Red Cross was also criticized for not spending donations faster, also didn’t start until nearly a year after the disaster.

The Red Cross says it is planning substantial grants to other nonprofit groups doing Sandy recovery work

and is doing much of its current work in conjunction with charitable partners with local ties.

Red Cross volunteers working in conjunction with the organizing group New York Cares are going out several days a week to muck and clean flooded homes and remove mold. Red Cross staff and caseworkers have been holding “unmet needs roundtables” in hard-hit communities, trying to identify victims not covered by traditional aid programs.

“Our experience shows that as the recovery goes on, the needs of survivors will evolve,” said Roger Lowe, Red Cross senior vice president. “It’s important to make sure some money is available for those needs no one can predict right now.”

Other organizations that raised large sums for the relief effort have also held back money while they evaluated the wisest way to spend it.

The Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund, led

by Mary Pat Christie, the wife of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, raised $32 million after the storm but didn’t begin awarding grants on a large scale until April.

So far, it has given about $11 million, with the biggest grants going to local organizations building or repairing housing.

The United Way, which raised $9.7 million in a Sandy recovery fund for New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and some parts of Pennsylvania, said it has spent about $4 million of that total to date, though another $2.5 million is set to go out soon.

Lootens also drew from a speech given by former President George W. Bush on Sept.20,2001,just days after the 9/11 tragedy. “Our response involves far more than instant retaliation and isolated strikes. Americans

should not expect one battle, but a lengthy campaign unlike any other we have ever seen.�

However, Lootens continued to draw upon the importance of family, the difficulties they face during deployment and of having, “Lives full of uncertainty of what they may hold in the future.We should have sympathy for these families and reach out to them.�

While admitting his

speech was not so much about those lost in battle, of whom the day is set aside to honor, Lootens felt that if those men and women were alive today they would likewise agree with his sentiments upon the importance of family. That by honoring the families of the fallen we honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. “May God bless our fallen patriots,� Lootens said. “And may God bless America.�

Borchers keeps doing her thing Former Russia star earns national berth

BY ROB KISER Sports Editor rkiser@dailycall.com

Katie Going National

Katie Borchers admits after a freshman season that included the big jump from running for Russia High School to joining the Ohio State University women’s cross country and track and field programs, it might have been a lot to expect to finish her sophomore season in outdoor track running at the NCAA Championships in the 800-meter run.

But, that’s exactly what the daughter of Kevin and Jean Borchers will be doing after an outstanding performance at the NCAA East Regional at Greensboro last week.

It started in the prelims, when the former

Shin-Soo Choo makes a leaping catch Tuesday against the Indians.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Indians broadcaster Tom Hamilton isn't backing down from his criticism of Reds reliever Aroldis Chapman for a high-andtight pitch to Cleveland's Nick Swisher and his onair suggestion that there should be retaliation during the intrastate series.

Chapman threw two up-and-in fastballs to Swisher during the ninth inning of Cincinnati's 4-2 win Monday. The first went over the batter's head, the second was near it. Chapman and Swisher exchanged glares.

After the second pitch, Hamilton — in his 24th season calling Indians games — said on air the pitch was intentionally aimed at his head.

"What you'd love to see Swisher do here is knock it right off the temple of Chapman and see how much fun it is to have a ball coming at your head," Hamilton said. "That is

The Reds were leading the Indians 3-1 in the seventh inning at press time bush league."

Later, Hamilton predicted the Indians would retaliate during the series, which moves to Cleveland for two games on Wednesday and Thursday.

"You just can't be throwing at people's heads," Hamilton said.

"The first one may have gotten away, the second one did not. And there are three more games to go with the Reds. This isn't over yet.

"I'll guarantee you one thing: (manager Terry) Francona will make sure that this is settled on the field."

Francona brushed it off before the second game of their series on Tuesday.

"I didn't really think about it a whole lot then and I didn't today," Francona said.

Brown set to return to Browns Role has not been specified CLEVELAND (AP) — Jim Brown has come back to the team he helped lead to its last NFL championship.

Brown will return in an unspecified role with the Cleveland Browns, who will formally reunite with the Hall of Fame standout at a news conference on Wednesday. Browns owner Jimmy Haslam is expected to announce Brown's new position with the team he starred with from 1957-65 before retiring to pursue an acting career.

"We're excited to have him back a part of us," Browns CEO Joe Banner said. "It's important to me because he's clearly in the top couple, if not the single most important part of the history of the franchise, and it's the right thing to do."

Brown previously worked as a senior adviser with the Browns. However, his role was elimi-

nated by former team president Mike Holmgren and Brown had been estranged from the team for a few years. He returned to play in an alumni golf outing and was introduced on the field at halftime at a game in September, when he met with Haslam, who had just bought the team from Randy Lerner.

At the time, the outspoken Brown talked about his desire to work again with the team.

"I would love to have a role with the Browns," he said. "I think that's what every ex-player would like to do most of all, to be a contributor to the success of an organization. I'm stuck with being No. 32 of the Cleveland Browns and I can't do anything about it. I don't want to do anything about it. If you didn't like the ball, that's one thing. You're not going to always like my politics, but we are married because of that history. If I can be a part of the development of a new winning attitude and help get some

"Imagine us having a championship team here again?"

Haslam's arrival seemed to help the Browns patch up any differences with arguably the greatest player in their franchise's history.

Haslam said at the NFL owner's meetings in March that he anticipated Brown coming back to work for the team.

Browns linebacker D'Qwell Jackson is thrilled to learn Brown will be back with the team.

"With everything that is moving in the right direction, it's only right to bring Jim Brown back," Jackson said. "It's the perfect time for it because he did a lot when he was here, just his presence alone for a young guy, to be able to have a conversation with him, “I was in awe after being around him for three years.

"I want him back."

Brown was at the Browns' stadium on Tuesday to film a scene from the upcoming movie "Draft Day" starring Kevin Costner. Brown acted in a scene with former Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar, who said the return of the famed No. 32 was overdue.

"It's exciting," Kosar said. "It's great. I think the influence he can have on some of the younger kids and some of the younger players is great."

Good on his ‘promise’ Indy trophy destined for son’s bedroom FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — The Indianapolis 500 trophy is destined for the bedroom of Tony Kanaan's 6-year-old son in Brazil.

"Once you promise something for a kid ... he won't forget," Kanaan said Tuesday.

What young Leo doesn't realize is that the Indy 500 winner gets a much smaller replica of the Borg-Warner Trophy than the permanent one at Indianapolis.

"I promised him that I was going to get him a nice trophy," Kanaan said.

"He truly thinks I'm bringing the big BorgWarner home. ... The excuse I have, because it is in Brazil, dad has to shrink the trophy to fit in a bag."

Since finally winning at Indianapolis for the first time in 12 tries Sunday, Kanaan has spoken often about his son, who last week in one of their daily chats said he had no memory of ever seeing his father win a race. Kanaan didn't have an IndyCar victory in nearly three years before the Brickyard.

"He has no idea of how big this race is," Kanaan said, reflecting on their talk after winning. "The conversation goes from 'Yeah, dad won the race, cool,' then he switches right away, 'I was watching this cartoon.' ... It's been a normal conversation, I would say."

The boy moved to Brazil with his mother after his parents divorced in 2009.

Leo will spent July with his father, when he will get to be at the track for a couple of events, and there was also the race in Brazil he got to attend earlier this month. When the young boy gets to spend extended time in Novem-

ber and December with Kanaan, who lives in South Florida, the IndyCar season will be over.

Kanaan made the traditional stop for Indy 500 champions in Texas, where he had lunch with 200 invited Texas Motor Speedway season ticket holders and sponsors on the patio of a well-known Mexican restaurant where he was serenaded by a mariachi band.

When addressing the Texas crowd, Kanaan said it might be hard to keep his son from racing, but that he wasn't sure if he wanted him to be a driver.

Kanaan later clarified what he meant.

"I follow Marco's career extremely close," Kanaan said, referring to the young Andretti that used to be his teammate. "I don't want my son, especially who I am, to have that weight on his back.

But who am I to choose what he wants to be. ...I just said that because I think he will have so much pressure because of who his dad said, I don't know if I wanted to that for him. But if he wants that for himself."

Texas used to be the next race after Indianapolis, but the IndyCar Series will be in Detroit for its first doubleheader this weekend before going to the high-banked 1½-mile quadoval June 8. There are more media obligations for Kanaan in New York on Wednesday before heading to Detroit.

Kanaan said his son love soccer and like so many young Brazilian boys, he's also go-karting already.

"I think right now he's go-karting because you see what dad does and what the other kids do," Kanaan said.

Borchers Continued from page 9 plan and I went out and followed it.”

There were three heats in the finals and Borchers ran in the second heat.

The top three finishers in heat and the next three fastest times overall would be the 12 runners who advanced on to nationals.

Borchers finished fourth in 2:06.03, so she had to wait until after the final heat to find out her fate.

“I was pretty nervous,” she said. “I had watched the first heat. I didn’t watch the third heat. I didn’t know until my coach came up and told me I had made it to nationals.”

Then, she made the quick trip back to Russia for one of her sisters high school graduation.

“I was actually back home over the weekend,” she said. “My sister graduated. I wasn’t back long, maybe a day. But, it was great to see everybody.

They have always been my biggest supporters.”

Now, Borchers is preparing to run in the NCAA Championships in Eugene Oregon, June 5-8.

“I think one of the cool things about it is that is where they hold the Olympic Trials,” Borchers said. “So, it will be neat to run on the same track where they hold the Olympic Trials.”

It is a trip even Borchers could not have anticipated after her freshman season at Ohio State.

“Maybe not after last

season,” Borchers said. “I think the difference from last year to this year is I am just running with more confidence. I believe in myself and I am trusting what I am doing. That too (becoming comfortable with her surroundings).

Your freshman year anywhere is always a big learning experience.”

Borchers has received academic honors both years and after a strong year last fall in cross country and breaking the school indoor record in the 800 last winter, she entered this spring with renewed confidence and hasn’t disappointed.

“I think at the start of spring, my hope was to qualify for the NCAA Regionals and just go from there,” she said.

But, she admits, she has already surpassed her expectations coming out of high school as an Ohio State school record holder and national qualifier.

“No, probably not,” the humble Borchers said when asked if she expected to accomplish all that. “It does (give her high expectations for the next two years), but I am just going to keep doing my thing.”

And she will take the same humble approach into the NCAA Championships.

“I think it would be great if I could make the finals,” she said. “We will see. I am just going to keep doing what I do.”

Which has put her among the top 800 runners in the nation.

HOROSCOPE

SNUFFY SMITH

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, May 30, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) In the next six weeks, you'll identify more strongly with your beliefs. This is why you will be keen to get others to agree with you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Do not get caught up in thinking your possessions or bank account is really who you are. This might be the case in the next month or so. Be aware of this.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Mars is in your sign now and for the next six weeks. Make sure you get extra physical exercise to burn off some of this pent-up steam building within you.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Secrets and people working against your best interests might be the case for the next month or so. Nevertheless, you will discover what you need to learn.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Expect to be active with groups, especially competitively, during the next six weeks. Or one person in particular might challenge you to excel in some way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your ambition will be aroused in the next two months, which is why you will try hard to make your mark in the world. Just make sure you don't create conflict with bosses.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You will love exploring creative intellectual work and study in the next month. In fact, you will want to do anything that expands your mind.

Learn something new!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Disputes with others about shared property might occur in the next six weeks. This is not a good time to go for a loan or a mortgage.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Because Mars will be opposite your sign for the next six weeks, it's easy to be annoyed with others. Keep this in mind and just be patient. Cut people some slack.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) In the next two months, you will be gung-ho to clean up your act. Buy paint, cleaning equipment, shelving, file folders, labels -- whatever you need to get better organized.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Romance and playful excursions will be tops on the list for you in the next month. Take a vacation if you can.

Time for fun!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Renovations and increased activity at home might be exhausting. Practice patience with loved ones, because anger only serves to make everyone miserable.

YOU BORN TODAY You love speed, and you love your freedom. You are not someone who is happy with routine because you thrive on thrills and change. You have a quick mind and are skillful at many tasks. Even your moods change quickly! In the year ahead, a major change might take place, perhaps as significant as something that occurred around 2004.

Okla. twister debris would create mile-high pile

BY TIM TALLEY Associated Press MOORE, Okla. (AP) — Before residents of Moore can rebuild, they’ll have to deal with the debris from the deadly tornado that devastated the Oklahoma City suburb: crushed wood, mangled siding and battered belongings that could make a pile reaching more than a mile into the sky.

The splintered remains’ first stop is a landfill where items will be sorted, then recycled or burned.

Bricks, for instance, will go to charity projects such as Habitat for Humanity; wood, paper and clothing will be incinerated.

“I could be sad about it, but it’s not going to make anything come back. It’s just a house. It’s just stuff.

We have each other,” Jessie Childs said as bulldozer and backhoe operators reduced her house near the Plaza Towers Elementary School to a 10-foot pile of rubble.

The school was destroyed in the top-of-the scale EF5 tornado that carved a 17-mile path of destruction on May 20. In all, 24 people were killed, including seven children in the school.

With each load of debris, Moore moves another step closer to recovering from the storm that damaged or destroyed 4,000 homes and businesses. Against a cacophony of snapping lumber, crunching metal and the beep-beep of bulldozers in reverse, Clayton Powell sorted through the listing remains of his Moore home.

“You’re sifting through rubble piles trying to find that one photo, memories you can’t restore,” Powell said. “I’m sure there are a few things I haven’t even thought of and won’t miss.”

Presidential approval of a major disaster declaration typically covers

75 percent of the cost for communities to remove debris. In Moore’s case, President Barack Obama approved even more assistance. Under a pilot program, the federal government will pay 85 percent of debris removal costs for the first 30 days and 80 percent for the next 60. The expectation is that quicker debris removal speeds up the overall recovery.

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation brought in 400 of its workers and 250 pieces of equipment, including dump trucks and front-end loaders, to help with the process, said Transportation Secretary Gary Ridley.

As residents pick through the remains of their homes for the few surviving personal treasures, they’ve developed a way for crews to know when it’s OK to take stuff away. “If it’s out on the curb, anybody can come out and get it,” said Charlie Baker of Blanchard, watching a bulldozer raze his daughter’s house and push it to the street.

A relative found her Tiffany necklace, but there’s not much else worth salvaging. Jumping into the pile quickly after the storm, Kathy Duffy struggled to even find things that actually belonged to her sister, who was out of town when the storm hit.

“None of the clothes we found is theirs. None of the pictures we found is theirs,” Duffy said last week. “That’s definitely not theirs,” she said, pointing to a pair of large black sweatpants draped over a chair.

Paul Borges, who lives on the east side of Moore, found a crowbar and a 1979 baseball card featuring a player he had never heard of. A neighbor found one-half of a $100 bill. A field near the Abundant Life church was littered with canceled checks from 1980 — and from a

town 16 miles away. Along Eagle Street was a pink, fuzzy slipper and a gray bra, with no sign they traveled together.

After debris arrives at the landfill, workers will go through it, Moore Mayor Glenn Lewis said.

Wood, paper and clothing will be placed in a “burner box,” a device that uses its own scraps to generate heat to the point that it eventually consumes itself, Lewis said. Hazardous material will likely go out of state.

Albert Ashwood, Oklahoma’s emergency management director, could not estimate the cost or the amount of the debris beyond “I can tell you there will be plenty.” His agency on Monday estimated that just under 4,000 homes and businesses were destroyed or seriously impacted by storms May 19 and 20 — a figure about half that from a similar EF5 tornado in Joplin, Mo., two years ago.

The Missouri storm generated 3 million cubic yards of debris. If Moore’s debris field winds up about half that, the pile would cover an NBA-sized basketball court, like the one where the Oklahoma City Thunder play, to a depth of 1.7 miles.

Not everything will be taken away, however, either by accident or by design.

At a slab on a street behind the Plaza Towers school, the heaviest debris was already on its way to the landfill. Left behind were dining room chairs and an interesting collection of videotapes: “Twister” (but not the Helen Hunt version), a documentary “Real Stories of Tornadoes” and the children’s thriller “Something Wicked This Way Comes.

Obama and Christie praise govt response to storm Joint tour from Point Pleasant Beach to Asbury Park

BY JIM KUHNHENN Associated Press ASBURY PARK, N.J. (AP) — President Barack Obama and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie promoted the Jersey Shore’s summer tourism economy Tuesday while praising the federal government’s role in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, reprising their beach-buddy routine in a display of mutual assistance with potential political dividends.

Despite a steady drizzle, the Democratic president and the Republican governor tried their hand at arcade football and the president declared that the state’s popular shore was back seven months after the devastating storm bore down on its famed boardwalks and seaside towns.

“You are stronger than the storm,” Obama said, borrowing a line that Christie himself uses in a federally funded advertising campaign touting Jersey Shore tourism. “After all you’ve dealt with, after all you’ve been through,the Jersey Shore is back and it is open for business.”

After the rapport both men established in the wake of the October storm, Tuesday’s joint tour from Point Pleasant Beach to Asbury Park held opportunities for both. Obama, eager to put a competent face on the federal government after the troubles facing the Internal Revenue Service, used the visit to praise the response of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. For Christie, it was a chance to showcase the state’s cherished beaches and draw attention to a $40 billion industry in the state.

Republicans criticized Christie last year for praising Obama’s response to the storm in the days before the presidential election and for allowing himself to be seen prominently with the president. The storm not only took media attention away from Republican challenger Mitt Romney, it allowed Obama to strike an executive posture in the campaign’s final days.

This time, the imagery is less powerful but equally convenient. Christie, who flew with Obama aboard his Marine One helicopter, is running for reelection in a Democratic-leaning state, and Obama gets to be seen with a highvisibility Republican at a time that such bipartisanship is rare in Washington. Christie’s likely Democratic opponent, state Sen. Barbara Buono, did get to meet Obama before the speech as part of a bipartisan group of about 30 local and state officials invited to get

President Barack Obama shakes hands with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie before speaking outside at Asbury Park Convention Hall ,Tuesday in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Obama traveled to New Jersey to join Christie to inspect and tour the Jersey Shore’s recovery efforts from Hurricane Sandy. photographs taken with the president.

If conservatives remain wary of Christie’s overtures, Christie showed them one way to beat Obama: with a flick of a football.At a boardwalk arcade on Point Pleasant,the Democratic president and the GOP governor took turns tossing footballs at a tire. Obama shot zero for five; Christie went one for one.

“One and done!” Christie declared after making his throw.

“That’s ‘cause he’s running for office!”

Obama laughed, as he gave Christie a high-five ending with both men clasping hands.

The arcade operator, noting that Obama was from Chicago, chose a stuffed bear with a Chicago Bears logo and handed it to the president. As the men made their way down the boardwalk, the song “Jungleland” by New Jersey’s native son and Christie favorite Bruce Springsteen blared from speakers.

Later, under a steady drizzle in Asbury Park before a crowd of almost 4,000, Obama said the job of repairing the $38 billion in damage inflicted by the storm is not over. He said his return visit was intended to show he’s still committed to putting the federal government to work. When all is said and done, Obama assured people, the Jersey Shore will be better and more resilient than it was before.

“I could see being a little younger and having some fun on the Jersey

Shore,” Obama said to laughter.“I can’t do that anymore. Maybe after I leave office.”

In introducing the president, Christie noted that Obama visited the state two days after the storm hit “to see the damage for himself, to pledge his support and the support of the federal government to help us recover and rebuild.

“Republicans, Democrats, independents — we all came together, because New Jersey is more important and our citizens are more important than any kind of politics at all,” Christie said.“So now, seven months later, we know this, that we’ve made great progress, but that we still have so much more to do.”

Obama said his message to residents in storm-ravaged New Jersey also holds true for those in Oklahoma recovering from the May 20 tornado that killed 24 people and devastated the community of Moore.

“When we make a commitment that we got your back, we mean it,” Obama said. Gesturing to his host, Obama praised Christie for the “the great work he’s done here” in leading the recovery effort.

In Washington on Tuesday, first lady Michelle Obama welcomed students from two New Jersey schools damaged by the storm to the White House garden, where they gathered vegetables and made flatbread pizza alongside students from other states.
