Dying fan meets Cincinnati’s Votto, sees no-hitter

‘Bless my hot shot crew’ Survivor speaks at vigil for 19 firefighters Brian Skoloff and Felicia Fonseca The Associated Press

PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz.

(AP) — On a day filled with speeches from dignitaries including the vice president, the words of the lone survivor of a fire crew overrun by flames resonated deepest in an arena packed with firefighters from around the nation.

A stone-faced Brendan McDonough filed onto the stage at the end of the service and offered what’s called

A dying Cincinnati Reds fan made one last trip to a baseball game, with an assist

“The Hot Shot’s Prayer,” calmly reciting the words: “For if this day on the line I should answer death’s call, Lord, bless my Hotshot crew, my family, one and all.”

He concluded by telling the crowd: “Thank you, and I miss my brothers.”

McDonough spoke at a memorial for the 19 members of the Prescott-based Granite Mountain Hotshots who died June 30 when a wind-fueled, out-of-control fire overran them as they tried to protect a former gold-mining town from

the inferno.

Vice President Joe Biden called them “men of uncommon valor” while thanking God that one member of the crew survived unhurt.

“There’s an old saying: All men are created equal, and then a few became firefighters,” Biden said. “Thank God for you all. Thank God for your willingness to take the risks you do.”

The event was marked by an outpouring of support from firefighters from across the country, who traveled to the

Fishing with grandpa

Prescott area to honor their fallen brethren.

They talked about how firefighters are accustomed to answering the call of duty when the alarm sounds and sends them into harm’s way, whether it’s a fire in a forest, house or apartment. And they noted that the same can be said when a fellow firefighter dies.

“When you hear of a death, especially a group of firefighters, and there’s 19 that we’re See CREW | 5A

Gateway Youth to host free lunch Patricia Ann Speelman pspeelman@civitasmedia.com

Gateway Youth, a program of the Council on Rural Services, will host a free lunch on the courtsquare Friday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in an effort to educate the public about the organization and teach par-

ticipating young people about giving back to the community.

Youth and staff of Gateway Youth will share food, music and games during the event.

“The community has shown their caring for our program and youth in so many ways, including sharing services and donations; now we are giving,”

said a press release Monday.

The Council on Rural Services recently announced that Gateway Youth will move its programs out of what used to be Lowell Elementary School this fall and will cut back on staff. According to Kelly Harrison, support specialist of Gateway Youth

Schools funding and casino money Editor’s note: In preparation for the August special election, the Sidney Daily News, in conjunction with the Citizens for Sidney Schools levy committee, will be publishing a question of the week to inform voters about the five-year, 1 percent income tax levy.

Why not use Casino money for schools?

Casino revenue is used; however there seems to be a gross overestimate of its value. For Sidney City Schools, the $182,000 projected annual Casino revenue is included in line 1.060 of the five-year fiscal forecast, and though it helps, it represents less than one penny out of every needed dollar. Casino

Sidney Schools Levy Facts revenue distributions are semi-annual on or before Jan. 31 and Aug. 31. The January 2013 distribution to Sidney City Schools was $76,859, see www.tax.ohio. gov/government/casino.

The proposed 5-year, 1 percent traditional income tax is not an increase in revenue collected, but a replacement option to compensate for the expiring 9.9 mill emergency property tax levy and expired .8 mill permanent improve-

ment levy. It should also be pointed out that a 4.73 mill emergency levy failed to renew in 2010, reducing the district’s revenue by $2.2 million.

Since 2008, Sidney City School District has cut $6.6 million from its annual budget. Without these cuts, the annual expenses for 2013 would be $37.5 million instead of $30.9. The most significant event was the concessions in salary and benefits made by all school employees in 2011-2012 to the extent of $2 million per year. The staff was cut from 500 to 401.

Readers of the Sidney Daily News may notice a new look to the paper today.

As part of an ongoing process of upgrading the newspaper to better serve readers, new fonts and design elements have been added.

“The Daily News is adopting the stylebook of our parent firm, Civitas Media,” said Jeff Billiel, executive editor. “This style is designed to enhance readability and is being adopted throughout the Civitas newspaper chain.”

Billiel said the new style will produce cleaner, better organized and easier-toread pages.

“Many of the changes are subtle,” he said, “but the overall effect will be an improvement to the newspaper which we anticipate readers and advertisers will appreciate.”

Medicaid supporters rally for expansion in Ohio Ann Sanner AP Photo | Hennes Paynter Communications

IMAGES FROM the video provided by Hennes Paynter Communications shows from left: Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight. The three women held captive in a Cleveland home for a decade broke their public silence in a 3-minute, 30-second video posted on YouTube at midnight Monday. They said the support and prayers of family, friends and the public is allowing them to rebuild their lives after what Berry called “this entire ordeal.”

Women in Ohio kidnap case thank public for support Thomas J. Sheeran The Associated Press

CLEVELAND (AP) — Stylish and smiling, three women allegedly held captive in a Cleveland home for a decade offered thanks on YouTube for emotional and financial backing they’ve received since going “through hell and back.”

From Amanda Berry, 27: “I want everyone to know how happy I am to be home, with my family, my friends,” she said.

“I would say ‘thank you’ for the support,” said a softspoken Gina DeJesus, 23, in response to prompting from a narrator.

And from Michelle Knight, 32, who wasn’t a familiar face on a milk carton around town like the other two, came a sometimes halting yet defiant reading of a statement.

“I may have been through hell and back, but I am strong enough to walk through hell with a smile on my face and with my head held high,” she said. “I will not let the situation define who I am.

I will define the situation. I

don’t want to be consumed by hatred.”

The 3½-minute video, produced last week and posted at midnight Monday, was filmed in a Cleveland law firm overlooking treetops, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and Lake Erie.

DeJesus’ parents, Felix DeJesus and Nancy Ruiz, joined the heartfelt statements of gratitude, thanking the public for donations to a fund set up to help the women. More than $1 million has been donated.

Ruiz encouraged parents with missing loved ones to reach out for assistance.

“Count on your neighbors,” she said. “Don’t be afraid to ask for the help because help is available.”

The women have turned aside media interview requests and appealed again for privacy since they were rescued in May when Berry broke through a door and yelled to neighbors for help.

The women had disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004, when they were 14, 16, and 20 years

old. The owner of the home where they were found, 52-year-old former bus driver Ariel Castro, was arrested and has pleaded not guilty to a 329-count indictment alleging he kidnapped them off the streets and held them captive in his two-story home.

In the video, none of the women had any visible scars of the abuse they said they suffered. Castro fathered a 6-year-old daughter with Berry and is accused of starving and punching Knight, causing her to miscarry.

“I am getting stronger each day,” Berry said. “Having my privacy has helped immensely.”

The trio wants to maintain that privacy, according to a statement from the team of lawyers and crisis management experts helping them without charge.

Castro’s trial is scheduled for next month but could be delayed if the defense asks for more preparation time. Last week a judge rejected Castro’s request to see Berry’s child fathered by him.

Damage was minor.

• Dustin M. Bertsch, 25, 417 E. South St., was cited for failure to control following a collision Saturday around 3:38 a.m. According to the police report, he was southbound on Broadway Avenue when he lost control, spun around and struck the parked and unoccupied vehicle of Ronald Todd Jr., 444 Elm St., causing functional damage to the Todd car and heavy damage to the vehicle he was driving.

The Associated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — Democratic state lawmakers on Tuesday urged “meaningful” action from Republican Gov. Kasich on Medicaid expansion, as the governor rallied a group of supportive residents to increase pressure on their representatives to support extended health coverage.

While both Kasich and Democrats favor Medicaid expansion, they appeared split Tuesday over how to accomplish it. The issue has struggled to gain traction in a Legislature controlled by the governor’s fellow Republicans.

The separate events at the Statehouse highlighted the tensions on the issue.

House Democratic Leader Tracy Heard called on the governor to focus on swaying members of his party — not those who already endorse Medicaid expansion.

Before Kasich took the stage, she described his planned appearance at the Capitol rally a “great opportunity for a photo op.”

“It’s very frustrating that we’re continuing to see him reach out to our side, reach out to the advocates on this issue,” said Heard, of Columbus. “We really need him to reach out to the Republican caucus and the Legislature.”

Kasich proposed extending Medicaid coverage in February, but GOP leaders scrapped it from the state budget that was passed in June.

Lawmakers have since been trying to find common ground on changes to the federal-state program for low-income and disabled Ohioans.

Meanwhile, the governor has continued to make the argument for Medicaid expansion at appearances around the state and rallies in Columbus.

Kasich contends it allows the state to

reclaim Ohio taxpayers’ money from Washington to provide health care coverage to the state’s neediest residents.

“We are going to get this done,” Kasich told a coalition of Medicaid supporters on Tuesday.

“I don’t care what it takes. We are going to get this done.”

State legislators are on summer break. The Senate has tentative days scheduled for late August, while the House has tentative session days scheduled for midSeptember.

Asked whether he should be pushing harder on GOP members, Kasich told reporters, “I don’t know what more I can do without going over the edge.”

“We’ve made every effort that we can make,” he added.

Heard said Kasich can call the Legislature back and force a vote on the issue.

Kasich said he wanted to be respectful of the legislative process.

Stabbing victim released from hospital The 35-year-old Sidney man who was stabbed during the early morning hours Saturday has been discharged from Miami Valley Hospital, according to hospital representatives.

Christopher Allen Compton, of Sidney, was transported early Saturday morning from the Waffle

House after he was stabbed in the abdomen. He was taken to Wilson Memorial Hospital and then was transferred to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton.

Nathan W. Marlow, 30, later was arrested in Middlesboro, Ky., and charged with felonious assault, after fleeing the scene.

Accidents

• Michael J. Jacob, 18, 1917 Burkewood Drive, was cited for failure to maintain assured clear distance following a collision Monday around 4:53 p.m. According to the police report, Jacob was eastbound on Michigan Street and struck the rear of the vehicle stopped at Wayfarer Drive, driven

by Andrew T. Boyd, 38, 402 Risha Ave., Anna.

Damage was minor.

• Ramona G. King, 37, 5647 Knoop Johnston Road, was cited for failure to maintain assured clear distance following a collision Monday around 4:08 p.m. According to the police report, King made contact with the rear of the vehicle driven

by Holly V. Parker, 37, 558 Bon Air Drive, while it was stopped on West Russell Road at Fourth Avenue.

King then left the scene and was later stopped by police.

Nation/World Sidney Daily News, Wednesday, July 10, 2013 Today in history

By The Associated Press

Today is Friday, July 12, the 193rd day of 2013. There are 172 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 12, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed a bill authorizing the Medal of Honor.

On this date: In 1543, England’s King Henry VIII married his sixth and last wife, Catherine Parr.

In 1690, forces led by William of Orange defeated the army of James II at the Battle of the Boyne in Ireland.

In 1909, the House of Representatives joined the Senate in passing the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, allowing for a federal income tax, and submitted it to the states.

(It was declared ratified in February 1913.)

In 1943, the World War II tank battle of Prokhorovka between German invaders and Soviet defenders took place with no clear victor.

In 1948, the Democratic national convention, which nominated President Harry S. Truman for a second term of office, opened in Philadelphia.

In 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower was flown by helicopter from the White House to a secret mountaintop location as part of a drill involving a mock nuclear attack on Washington.

In 1967, six days of racerelated rioting erupted in Newark, N.J.; the violence claimed 26 lives.

In 1973, actor Lon Chaney, Jr., 67, died in San Clemente, Calif.

In 1977, President Jimmy Carter defended Supreme Court limits on government payments for poor women’s abortions, saying, “There are many things in life that are not fair.”

In 1984, Democratic presidential candidate Walter F. Mondale announced he’d chosen U.S. Rep. Geraldine A. Ferraro of New York to be his running-mate; Ferraro was the first woman to run for vice president on a majorparty ticket.

In 1988, Democratic presidential candidate Michael S. Dukakis tapped Sen. Lloyd Bentsen of Texas as his running-mate.

In 1993, some 200 people were killed when an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 struck northern Japan and triggered a tsunami.

In Somalia, a mob enraged by a deadly United Nations attack on the compound of Mohamed Farrah Aidid killed an Associated Press photographer and three employees of Reuters.

Ten years ago: Wrapping up a five-day tour of Africa, President George W. Bush said he would not allow terrorists to use the continent as a base “to threaten the world.” The USS Ronald Reagan, the first carrier named for a living president, was commissioned in Norfolk, Va. Jazz great Benny Carter died at age 95.

Five years ago: Former White House press secretary Tony Snow died in Washington, D.C. at age 53.

Former All-Star outfielder and longtime Yankees broadcaster Bobby Murcer died in Oklahoma City at age 62.

Angelina Jolie gave birth at a hospital on the French Riviera to twins Knox and Vivienne, making a family of eight with Brad Pitt.

Out of the Blue

Keeping butts out of parks GLENDALE, Calif. (AP) - It’s not the kind of sign you usually see at a park: “”Our deer don’t smoke in your backyard. Please don’t smoke in theirs.”

But the Los Angeles foothill suburb of Glendale hopes such jokes will do a serious job and keep smokers from trashing local parks and trails.

The Los Angeles Times says 18 humorous signs were put up in April throughout the Verdugo and San Rafael mountains, at the Glendale Sports Complex and Deukmejian Wilderness Park.

Other samples: “Do not throw cigarette butts on the ground.

Our squirrels are getting cancer” and “Smokers will be fed to the bears.”

Smoking is banned on city trails and parks but the city doesn’t have enough workers to patrol every trail.

NTSB: Flight attendants ejected during crash

A SUPPORTER of the ousted Egypt’s President Mohammed Morsi holds up a Quran during a protest in Nasr City, a suburb of Cairo, Egypt, Tuesday.

After days of deadlock, Egypt’s military-backed interim president named a veteran economist as prime minister on Tuesday and appointed pro-democracy leader Mohamed ElBaradei as a vice president, while the army showed its strong hand in shepherding the process, warning political factions against “maneuvering” that impedes the transition.

Egypt pushes transition Maggie Michael Associated Press

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s interim president named an economist as prime minister Tuesday, ending days of deadlock as the head of the military pressured political factions to speed along the process, warning them that “maneuvering ” must not hold up the transition toward new elections after the ouster of

Page 5A

President Mohammed Morsi.

The appointment of Hazem el-Beblawi, along with the setting of a swift timetable for parliamentary and presidential elections early next year, underlined the military-backed leadership’s determination to push ahead with their transition plans in the face of Islamist protests demanding the reinstatement of Morsi, Egypt’s first freely elect-

ed president.

The new leadership got a boost Tuesday from Arab allies in the Gulf. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, both opponents of Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood, celebrated his ouster by showering the cash-strapped Egyptian government with promises of $8 billion worth of cash grants, loans and badly needed gas and oil.

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.

(AP) — Two flight attendants in the back of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 survived despite being thrown onto the runway when the plane slammed into a seawall and lost its tail during a crash landing at San Francisco’s airport, the head of the National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday.

C h a i r wo m a n Deborah Hersman also revealed that the pilots told investigators they were relying on automated cockpit equipment to control their speed during final approach, which prompts questions about whether a mistake was made in pro-

gramming the “autothrottle” or if the equipment malfunctioned.

The plane crashed when it came in too low and slow for landing. Hersman said the pilot at the controls was only about halfway through his training on the Boeing 777 and was landing that type of aircraft at the San Francisco airport for the first time ever.

And the co-pilot was on his first trip as a flight instructor.

Saturday’s crash killed two people but remarkably 305 others survived, most with little or no physical injuries. A final determination on the cause of the crash is months away and Hersman cautioned against drawing any conclusions based on the information revealed so far.

Kroger adds Harris Teeter to supermarket network Cancide Choi AP Business Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — Kroger, already the country’s largest traditional supermarket operator, is expanding its reach in key southeastern and midAtlantic states by snapping up regional grocer Harris Teeter Supermarkets Inc. The $2.44 billion cash deal reflects Kroger’s growth plans at a time when supermarkets are fighting competition from big-box retailers such as Target Corp. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc., as well as drugstores and dollar stores that are expanding their food sections.

Harris Teeter has 212 stores in eight states. That includes locations in Delaware, Florida, Maryland and Washington,

D.C., where Kroger currently does not have a presence.

Kroger says it doesn’t plan to close any stores as a result of the acquisition. But in the regions where there is some overlap, it may be asked by the Federal Trade Commission to sell stores to other operators to maintain a competitive landscape, said Mike Schlotman, Kroger’s chief financial officer.

After Kroger’s last major purchase of Fred Meyer in 1999, he said the agency asked it to sell eight stores.

Harris Teeter stores will keep their names and personalities, as with the nearly two dozen other regional chains owned by Kroger, including Ralphs in Southern California, Fred Meyer in the Pacific Northwest and Fry’s in Phoenix, the company said.

“I don’t see a lot of change that we would make to Harris Teeter,” Schlotman said. “It already has a large fresh and prepared section — that’s one of the things they’re good at.”

That focus on fresh and prepared foods is what makes the deal so attractive to Kroger.

While they’re not on the level of Whole Foods supermarkets, Harris Teeter stores tend to be in more affluent neighborhoods and are more profitable because they have bigger fresh food sections.

Kroger, meanwhile, has been expanding the ranks of its “Fresh Fare” stores, which have bigger sections for produce, meat, seafood and prepared foods. These categories tend to have higher profit margins than the rest of the store, Schlotman said.

Notably, Harris Teeter also

offers a “click and collect” service in about half its stores that lets people shop online then pick up their groceries curbside or at the front of the store.

“It’s very popular in Europe, and now we get the chance to understand the process with someone that has it in place,” Schlotman said.

Harris Teeter, along with Ralphs, will be one of Kroger’s largest chains by store count.

Under the terms of the agreement, Kroger will pay $49.38 for each of Harris Teeter’s shares. The price represents a 2 percent increase over the company’s Monday closing stock price. The deal has been approved by both companies’ boards, but remains subject to Harris Teeter shareholder approval.

PRESCOTT FIRE Chief Dan Fraijo, speaks during a memorial service for the 19 fallen firefighters at Tim’s Toyota Center in Prescott Valley, Ariz. on Tuesday.

Prescott’s Granite Mountain Hotshots were overrun by smoke and fire while battling a blaze on a ridge in Yarnell, about 80 miles northwest of Phoenix on June 30.

here to mourn, there’s no question that at the drop of a hat you do what you can to go and support the fire service and their families,” said Capt. Steve Brown of the Rancho Cucamonga, who brought 17 others in his department of 85 uniformed firefighters from California.

The memorial in Prescott Valley began with a choir singing “On Eagle’s Wings” as Biden sang along from the sidelines.

Homeland Security Secretary and former Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano looked on, as did Sen. John McCain and his wife, Cindy, and other members of the state’s congressional delegation.

Biden talked about the 1972 death of his wife and young daughter in a traffic crash, and how firefighters freed his sons from the mangled wreckage.

“I don’t have the privilege of knowing any of these heroes personally, but I know them. I know them because they saved the lives of my two sons,” Biden said. He also said firefighters rushed him to a hospital after he suffered an aneurysm in 1998, and he credited firefighters with saving his wife Jill after lightning once struck their home.

Gov. Jan Brewer praised people around the country for responding as she hoped they would — with candlelight vigils, financial contributions, prayers, and flowers and notes placed at makeshift memorials.

“Of course our hearts are filled with profound sadness today,

but they’re also filled with great pride,” she said. “How wonderful is it to know that Arizona was home to 19 men like those we honor today.”

Outside the minor league hockey arena, each of the 19 firefighters was represented by a U.S. flag and a purple ribbon with his name. A bronze statue of a wildland firefighter with an ax in hand, stood in front as if guarding the building.

Inside, each firefighter’s name scrolled across an electronic board on two sides of the arena.

Lined up in front of the stage were 19 sets of firefighting gear, complete with commemorative Pulaski tools similar to the ones the elite crew uses to dig lines around fires.

Prescott Fire Chief Dan Fraijo gave the tools to the firefighters’ families, along with flags that had been flown in their honor.

Alumni of the Granite Mountain Hotshots sat in the front rows, with about 1,000 members of the fallen firefighters’ families surrounding them in seats on the floor of the arena.

Those who first responded to the Yarnell Hill Fire sat in the rows behind them.

Darrell Willis, a Prescott Fire Department division chief, said he traveled with the crew a couple of years ago when they fought a fire in Colorado. On the way back, the unit stopped in Glenwood Springs and then climbed Storm King Mountain, where 14 firefighters died in

1994.

“We spent the entire sunny summer afternoon evaluating, studying, talking about what happened there 19 years ago,” Willis said. “They were truly committed to never letting something like this ever happen again. They were committed to returning to you after every assignment. But there was another plan.”

The highly specialized crew was part of a small community of Hotshots nationwide. There are only about 110 of the 20-person teams, mostly stationed west of the Mississippi River.

McDonough was assigned to give a “heads-up on the hillside” for the team on that fateful afternoon, said Prescott Fire Department spokesman Wade Ward. McDonough notified the crew of the rapidly changing weather that sent winds swirling erratically and caused the fire to cut off his team’s escape route, then swiftly left his post for safety.

Ward has said it’s just been too tough on McDonough, but that “he did exactly what he was supposed to.”

Tuesday’s memorial was the last of a handful of vigils for the men before the first of 19 funerals begin later in the week.

Ron Merrell, pastor of Heights Church, asked for comfort in an opening prayer, saying the past week has felt like “hell on Earth,” leaving the families and firefighting community broken, confused, hurt and numb. He held up the

firefighters as heroes who gave the ultimate sacrifice not only in death but in life.

Two tolls of a bell rang out as each firefighter’s name was called, and a member of his family stood up in the audience.

An honor guard that included alumni of the Granite Mountain Hotshots carried the flags and Pulaski tools through the aisles, turning to face the family members who accepted the items on behalf of the firefighters.

Some of the family members then hugged others next to them, as the men’s pictures flashed on screens overhead and the choir began singing “You Raise Me Up.” Other photos showed the men playing with their children, riding bikes, carrying crew members on their backs, hanging out at camp and in close encounters with fire.

Biden offered the families some solace as he wrapped up his remarks.

“As unbelievable as it is to even fathom … the day will come when the memory of your husband, your son, or your dad or your brother will bring a smile to your lips before it brings a tear to your eye,” he said. “My prayer for all of you is that that day will come sooner than later, but I promise you as unbelievable as it is, it will come.”

Biden met privately with family members after the memorial.

Emerson Climate Technologies funds teacher projects Eleven teachers in the Sidney City School District have been awarded Emerson Climate Technologies Inc. Education Grants totaling nearly $5,000 to be used in the 2013-14 school year. The program annually provides grants up to $500 for educators.

“Emerson Climate Technologies grants offer teachers the ability to enhance their classroom instruction by implementing innovative ideas and programs that would normally not be funded through school budget dollars,” said Virginia McClain, former curriculum director for Sidney City Schools.

Sidney High School teacher Greg Snyder received a grant for Graphing Calculators Rental to help purchase a set of graphing calculators for rental to students. SHS art teacher Kelly Walker received a grant for her Ceramic Building Methods, which would be used to teach basic ceramic building methods to transitioning alternative school students at SHS. These methods require dedication, perseverance, effort and craftsmanship — skills that parallel those experienced in the workplace. From Sidney Middle School, Leslie Phlipot received a grant for Sidney Middle School Autism Team to purchase resources to help with sensory processing for students with autism and those with ADD/ADHD that could also benefit from them.

In the district’s elementary schools,

Emerson Elementary teachers Polly Kemper and Tracy Bunger received grants for Improving Our SMARTS to help supplement the purchase of SMART Response Clickers to be used in K-2 classes at Emerson. The clickers will increase student engagement in lessons and enable the teacher to assess mastery at all steps of the instructional process.

Longfellow teacher Katie Harbaugh received a grant for Project Student Think & Share to help students share their thought process in working out math problems both individually and collaboratively to strengthen mathematical reasoning and number sense.

At Northwood Elementary, Beth Abbot received a grant for her project Teaching Uniquely — Differentiated Instruction for All, using the Unique Learning System to allow for students with disabilities to be exposed to the same content standard materials as their same age peers, but with methods and materials that will allow them to understand these higher level concepts. As a result, her students will be able to participate at each individual level, no matter their disability, enriching their academic experience. Also at Northwood, Julie Henman received a grant for Classroom Library Listening Center to help support her Reading Language Arts program, The Daily Five which consists of 5 RLA components — Read to Self, Listen

to Reading, Read to Someone, Word Work and Work on Writing.

At Whittier, Julie Metzler received a grant for the Whittier Elementary Sensory Therapy Project which will allow students the opportunity to work to target sensory function as well as understand the processes of movement and gravity to enhance gross and fine motor skills, trunk/ upper extremity strength and hand strength, allowing them to perform better in the classroom. Whittier teacher Aaron Berning also received a grant for Document Camera, allowing for the purchase and use of a document camera to project student work, images, text and other things directly onto the SMART board for more enhanced and engaging learning. Whittier teacher Stacy Hahn also received a grant for her project Engaging Science to purchase “Science Studies Weekly” and other various hands-on materials to make science more hands-on and applicable to her students’ lives.

Applicants are required to submit proposals, which provide educationally enriching experiences that students would not otherwise have.

Emerson Climate Technologies, formerly Copeland Corp., has funded this grant program since 1988.

“We greatly appreciate the generosity of Emerson Climate Technologies for the grant funds and their continued support of education in Shelby County,” said McClain.

Dear Heloise: I have a great way to make hamburger patties without touching the hamburger.

Open a 1-pound package of hamburger and place into a plastic zipper-top bag. Zip the bag shut and mash the hamburger to fill the bag evenly (let a little air out midway through to get it perfect). Place the bag on a flat surface and use the dull side of a large breadknife to quarter the bag. Place in the freezer and, when ready, simply break off perfectly formed, square quarterpound patties for grilling.

Projects show patriotism FORT LORAMIE ­ — The woman who coordinated this year’s Miss Independence contest at Liberty Days was so impressed by the contestants’ patriotism projects that she wanted everyone to know about them.

“I was just unpacking the Miss Independence contestants’ patriotism projects, and wow, I’m still amazed at the wonderful displays of patriotism,” Gina Boerger said. In a previous story, Boerger mentioned the projects of Hannah Meyer, who raised more than $700 for Boston Marathon bombing victims, and Hailey Wray, who brought thankyou stars to the Dayton Veterans Administration Medical Center. “But all of the girls’ projects were exceptional this year,” she said.

The other contestants and a summary of their projects are as follows: • Elizabeth Barhorst did her project on Ralph Naber, a World War I veteran from Houston, who was a member of the Fort Loramie American Legion. During World War II, he wrote letters to the soldiers overseas just to fill them in on the news from home. He wrote to them about the crops, fishing, Cincinnati Reds scores, who got married and lots of other tidbits of information to keep the soldiers connected to home. Barhorst

had copies of his letters on her display. As a part of her project, she started a letter-writing campaign of her own. She set out blank postcards addressed to local veterans for the community to fill out at the Liberty Days festival. “I was just reading some of the postcards people filled out to our local veterans — it brought tears to my eyes,” Boerger said.

“People wrote words of thanks, some spoke about the festival and happenings around town, one lady wrote about her garden and what’s blooming right now, kids took them home and colored on them in red, white and blue; one was written from past veteran with his service years listed and another from someone who went to school with the serviceman’s father.

What a great display of patriotism and what a meaningful project.”

• LeAnn Kremer did her project on local veteran Dick Wehrman. She is a waitress at a local restaurant and she has developed a friendship with Wehrman. Every day, he comes in for a cup of coffee at 2:50 p.m., after visiting the grave of his wife, Delores. She shared his story about his service and dedication to his country and his wife. She shared quotes from him about patriotism. How he just wanted to stay safe

so he could return home to his fiancee, Delores Barlage. He told the story of how American parachutes were made of nylon and the Japanese parachutes were made of pure silk. Wehrman happened to acquire a Japanese parachute and he shipped it home to his fiancee. His fiancee sewed her wedding gown out of this pure silk Japanese parachute. LeAnn went on to educate the community about the “Voices of our Veterans” project.

This is a national project to preserve the stories of veterans. Dick recorded his stories of World War II. His videotaped story is on display in the Fort Loramie American Legion “Voices of our Veterans” kiosk. The public is welcome and encouraged to come and view the kiosk and any veteran who has not shared their story, may come and learn how they can be a part of the “Voices of our Veterans” project. “Again, another great example of patriotism,” Boerger said.

• Contestant and Miss Independence queen, Maddie Geise: Her patriotism project was called, “Their Story.” She interviewed five living veterans from each of the following wars: World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Gulf War and Iraqi Freedom. She shared their quotes on what “patriotism” each meant

to them. Geise visited each veteran personally and took pictures. She typed their stories and put it in a book that will be donated and available to read at the Fort Loramie Branch Library.

“I would recommend that all read it — amazing stuff,” Boerger said.

• Tori Rosengarten did a project on the history of “The Star-Spangled Banner” and wrote a “modernized” version the national anthem.

“I definitely know that every time I now hear our national anthem played, I have a better understanding of what the words mean. Tori really changed the way I think about our national anthem,” Boerger said.

“There were no rules for the Patriotism Project — we left it totally open-ended so the girls could display their own thoughts on patriotism,” Borger said. “I am so proud of all of these contestants. Although they all could not be awarded scholarship money, they are all certainly winners.

Both our judges this year work in the criminal justice system (Will Balling, Sidney Police chief) and Darcy Winchester (Probate Court secretary). They said this was such a refreshing and uplifting experience for them to see the good of teenagers today.”

Hearing to determine use of education funds FORT LORAMIE — Fort Loramie Local Schools receives federal Special Education IDEA Part B funds to assist with the education of handicapped children ages 3 through 21.

Community members who would like to have input into the planning of the use of the federal funds should attend a public hearing on July 15 at 6:30 p.m. in the high school chorus room. The meeting will last until 7 p.m.

Museum receives fence pieces FORT LORAMIE — During their June 20 meeting, members of the Fort Loramie Historical Association learned that the organization will acquire pieces of a concrete fence, which is being dismantled by the local church.

The fence pieces will be installed in the back yard of the Wilderness Trail Museum. The bell and tower from the old school have been sitting in the backyard, along with a capstone from the school.

There are plans to have a plaque fixed to the capstone. There are also plans to acquire the bricks from the old school. They have a second historical connection, as they were made at

Wagler’s Brickyard in Fort Loramie. The school was built in 1885 and when it was torn down in 2009, it was the longest continuously operating school in Ohio. The bell and tower were installed on the school in 1913.

It was reported that “Fort Loramie, Main Street and Beyond” has almost sold out. Instead of having it reprinted, the association is considering e-books, so it can be read on Kindle or Nook.

The Wilderness Trail Museum is open from 1 to 4 p.m. every Sunday in July and August. The public is invited to come in and visit or do research. Tours can be arranged other times.

Teens should never suppress hunger pang DR. WALLACE: I’m 16 and trying hard to lose 15 pounds because I’m going to be in my sister’s wedding, which will take place in five weeks. My sister didn’t give me a choice. She said that I will be in the wedding party, and I will lose 15 pounds.

I’m really on a strict diet, and so far I’ve lost five pounds by eating three very low-calorie meals with no between-meal snacks. My

problem is that I get lightheaded when I don’t snack.

Will this condition do me any physical harm? —Lori, Baltimore, Md. LORI: Even when on a strict diet, it’s OK to eat between meals. Hunger pangs are your body’s way of telling you that it needs fuel. Teens experience hunger pangs frequently because their bodies are changing and maturing.

DR. WALLACE: My mom is great, but I have a problem with my dad. He is just too strict. I’ll admit that I’ve been in a lot of trouble, but lately I’ve been super good. Let me give you some examples of my restrictions. I’m 15, and I have many friends, but I’m only allowed to talk on the telephone for one hour per night, and he has set the time from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. I asked to have a cell phone for my birthday, but the answer was no!

I’m only permitted to go out with my friends one night on the weekend, and I’ve got to be in the house at 10:30 p.m. sharp. I’ve tried to talk to my dad about showing a little leniency, but he won’t give in. Please help me — all of my friends have a lot more freedom. —Erica, South Bend, Ind. ERICA: It’s no fun to be restricted, but for a girl who admits to having been in a lot of trouble, the restrictions set by your father are fair. Don’t complain and try to get them changed, and don’t mention that your friends have more freedoms. Instead, abide by the restrictions and continue to be super good. When you find Dad in a good mood, discuss what must be done to remove yourself from some of the restrictions.

Gateway From page A1 of attracting more funding,” Harrison said. “We didn’t get it.”

Because the increased services had required more staff, the services have been costing Gateway Youth more than its revenue to support them. To balance the budget, Harrison said, two 40-hour-per-week staff have had hours cut to 32 hours per week and all staff will take mandatory periods of lay-offs totaling five weeks per year for each employee.

“We utilize interns and volunteers regularly,” she added, but fewer staff hours will necessitate the limiting of services for walk-in crisis situations; the frequency with which youth will be seen individually will lessen; and the programs recreation center, the

Connection, will not be open as long as it has been in the past.

The move from the Lowell Elementary building is part of the budget-balancing action. The programs need to decrease what they pay in rent. It was reported that the Salvation Army may be the new location, but Harrison said that final decisions have not been made.

The cuts should bring expenses in line with the organization’s annual budget and allow it to operate in the black.

“We’re hoping for more funds to help us,” Harrison said.

For information on making donations or to volunteer, call her at 937-548-8002 or email kharrison@ councilonruralservices.org.

Country singer Randy Travis remains in critical condition Chris Talbott AP Music Writer

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Country singer Randy Travis remained in critical condition Tuesday in a Texas hospital after doctors inserted a device to stabilize his weakened heart.

Travis’ publicist, Kirt Webster, said in a news release Tuesday that the singer underwent the procedure after checking into the hospital Sunday with viral cardiomyopathy (kahr-deeoh-my-OP-uh-thee), a heart

Miller

condition caused by a virus.

Webster said the left ventricular assist device was used to stabilize Travis’s heart prior to a hospital transfer to Dallas. Travis lives about 60 miles from Dallas in Tioga.

The device used to help Travis is a small pump inserted with a catheter that assists the heart to pump blood.

Travis, 54, became ill after a virus infected his heart muscle, causing it to become weakened and enlarged so that it could not pump properly. Cardiomyopathy can lead to heart failure.

No other details about the Grammy award-winning singer’s condition were available Tuesday afternoon.

Several country stars conveyed their best wishes for Travis’ recovery.

“Sending healing strength and love to you this morning randytravis,” Keith Urban said in a message to Travis on Twitter.

And Carrie Underwood, who Travis won a Grammy Award with in 2010, wrote: “Thinking about my friend, randytravis, tonight. Hope he gets better soon…”

From page A1 regards for uses in the B-2 community business district. A request has been made by James Bray to include a gun shop with no shooting range to the B-2 classification.

He is proposing opening a gun shop in Sidney.

The second ordinance deals with supplemental appropriations for 2013 in the amount of $120,526. Ginger Adams, finance officer, explained what each appropriation dealt with.

Items include • $5,712 added to the cemetery maintenance fund and $2,500 to the Ike Family Mausoleum Trust Fund. Funds will be used for repairs and maintenance made to the mausoleum located within Graceland Cemetery.

• $16,750 to the E-911 Fund, which includes payment to Centurylink which had not been paid from late 2007 until mid2013. Adams said the county receives funds from the state and distributes 50 percent of the funds to the city. The city’s portion of the $500 monthly fee hadn’t been deducted from its share of the state funds. It had been thought the fee was paid from the E-911 Fund and then the net proceeds were split between the

county and city. From now on, Centurylink will direct bill the city $250 and the county $250 for the monthly fee. The city’s $250 payment will be paid from the city’s E-911 Fund.

• $26,000 to indigent driver interlock and alcohol monitoring fund. One hundred percent of the money comes from court cases, said Adams. funds are used to provide alcohol-monitoring equipment to defendants who cannot afford to purchase the equipment.

• $6,500 to Community Development Block Grant programs. Funds will be used for grant-eligible activities.

• $951 to Tif-Echo 75 Development Fund, which will provide for the school tax sharing to be paid prior to year-end in accordance with the tax sharing agreement.

• $6,200 to the water fund, which will cover the city’s recovery zone economic development bonds’ interest rate.

Because of the federal government’s budget sequestration, the interest rate subsidy was reduced by 8.7 percent.

The appropriations will cover the reduction of the subsidy through the end of the year.

• $35,050 to the water reserve fund. The will reappropriate a portion of the project that was included in the 2012 appropriations but not encumbered or spent by the end of 2012. This will allow the city to purchase a telemetry upgrade project for the water treatment plant.

• $15,863 to fire loss security fund, which will permit the reimbursement of insurance proceeds currently held to property owners, after repair requirements of a property damaged by fire are satisfied.

• $5,000 to the swimming pool fund for the replacement of the pool’s vacuum cleaning system, which became stuck in one of the new pool grates and was damaged.

Henson receives BIM certification

LIMA — Rob Henson, Preconstruction Manager of Touchstone CPM, recently tested successfully to receive the professional accreditation, the Certificate of Management-Building Information Modeling (CM-BIM). Henson is one of 273 others in the nation with this professional designation.

National accreditation in the use of

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process that relies on computergenerated models to better manage construction projects. The professional accreditation, which is offered by the Associated General Contractors of America, is the first assessment-based credential to recognize construction professionals on their ability to use the

process.

Before testing successfully, Henson first had to complete the BIM Education Program, a series of four courses the association developed to help construction professionals learn how to use the construction process.

The education program and assessment-based certificate were developed

bill of rights.”

“A charter amendment is needed because the ability of Ohio citizens to protect their own citizens has been stripped away,” said Lisa Kochheiser, of the FreshWater Accountability Project, which is behind the Bowling Green petition drive.

Leslie Harper, also of the FreshWater Accountability Project reiterated, local government’s ability to control developments through zoning “has been taken away from us.”

A charter amendment would allow “citizens to enact local protections for their health for their families’ health and their property and their property values and our environment,” Kochheiser said. “Yes we have the right to do that. … It is one of the only ways that Ohio citizens have of protecting themselves from

the onslaught of the oil and gas industry.”

Representatives of the Ohio Petroleum Council, a division of the American Petroleum Institute, take a different stance.

The problem with the charter amendment, said Rebecca Heimlich, the campaign manager for Ohio Petroleum Council’s efforts to defeat referendum drives, is that it gives people the impression that local laws can trump the state and federal legislation.

The charter amendment, she contended “would not affect fracking.” But, she added, “there will be unintended consequences which would impact the greater business community.”

“We have to word it so it doesn’t seem to be solely targeting fracking,” Kochheiser said. “Our concern is not targeting existing companies. …

This is mainly to protect you from the possibilities of fracking.”

And those possibilities, she and Harper asserted, are not good.

“Allowing fracking around Bowling Green would put every person at risk,” Kochheiser said.

Those concerns are wide-ranging, including short- and long-term health problems.

And the difficulty of

treating those problems is compounded by Ohio law that deems the chemicals used in fracking are proprietary information and need not be revealed by companies.

“The oil and gas industry is exempt from the Ohio Emergency Planning and Community Right to know act,” Kochheiser said.

Carlo LoParo, of Strategic Public Partners, a firm working with the oil and gas industry, responded that Senate Bill 315 approved in 2012 does provide provisions for revealing the chemicals that make up small percentage of the brine.

A summary provided on the Ohio Department of Natural Resources website states: “The bill requires chemical disclosure during all aspects of the initial drilling process and during hydraulic fracturing, while adhering to existing federal and state trade secret/proprietary laws.

However, ODNR can upon request obtain proprietary chemical formulas to conduct an investigation or in response to a spill. Typically, proprietary chemical formulas comprise less than 0.01 percent of the total fluid used to hydraulically fracture a well.

BOWLING GREEN — Bowling Green has become a battleground in the conflict over fracking.

Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is used to extract oil trapped inside shale deep in the ground.

The increased use of the technology has been behind the boom in natural gas and is a major reason that the United States is starting to tip the balance in energy independence, supporters say.

The technology, opponents say, is behind an epidemic of health and environmental problem in areas where the exploration is taking place.

Those fears are behind a petition drive now underway to get the city of Bowling Green to ban fracking in its city limits. The petition calls for voters to weigh in on an amendment to the city’s charter on the November ballot. The referendum would enact a “citizens

HOROSCOPE

SNUFFY SMITH

BY FRANCES DRAKE

For Thursday, July 11, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Conversations with a parent, especially about past issues, are likely today. Or you might talk to relatives you haven't seen for a while or plan a family reunion.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The pace of your days is busy because you're trying to do a lot and yet transportation delays and silly errors are maddening. Be patient. These are minor snafus.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You have a chance to work somewhere you worked before or finish old jobs or earn money from past associations. Be aware of this now and take advantage of it.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be patient with silly errors and goofy mistakes. This is because Mercury in retrograde is taking place now in your sign. Expect delays and misunderstandings.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Respect your need for peace and quiet now. In fact, your ability to research things is better than it has ever been.

Enjoy working behind the scenes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Friends from the past might influence your future goals, so be open to what they have to say. It never hurts to listen. You can discard their advice if you want.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your relationship with bosses from your past or people you haven't seen for a while can benefit you if you keep an open mind. Avoid controversial subjects.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Because you can finish writing projects or school assignments quite easily now, get down to it. History and the study of the past will be a cinch.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is the perfect time to clean up loose ends with inheritances, mortgages, debt, taxes and anything to do with shared property. It will be like a hot knife cutting through butter.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The spirit of compromise is what you need right now, because so many planets are opposing you. Ex-partners might be demanding. At least, listen.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your daily tasks at work are dogged by misunderstandings, lost paperwork, delays and canceled appointments.

Yes, this is frustrating. However, these errors are minor -- admit it.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Old flames from the past might be back on the scene for some of you. Take care how you dress, because living well is the best revenge. (Ha!) YOU BORN TODAY You are social and enjoy the company of others. Even those who are introverted have a circle of friends. Nevertheless, your privacy is important. You have a finger on the pulse of what is going on around you, and admittedly are fond of gossip.

You work well in a team. Your year ahead will be even more social than usual, and all your relationships will thrive.

Health risks of tattoos are few

DEAR DR. ROACH: I would appreciate your insights concerning the health risks of tattoos (body art). I have heard that tattoo ink can get into the bloodstream, and over time can damage the liver and kidneys. The tattoo craze seems to have spread everywhere recently, and I wonder if people know all the health risks. — P.B. ANSWER: Tattoos do have health risks, but they can largely be managed. The biggest risk is of infection.

Amateur tattoos are very risky.

Reputable tattoo parlors use good technique: sterile water to clean the area, alcohol to disinfect, gloves for the tattoo artist. Tattoo needles should be sterilized, individually wrapped and opened in front of the person getting the tattoo. If you are going to get one, get a tattoo from a wellestablished parlor.

The second medical risk is an allergic reaction to the dye.

Serious reactions are rare. I have not read of liver or kidney

DEAR DR. ROACH: What causes constant dizziness?

Could it be low blood pressure? Are there medical reasons for this condition? — D.P. ANSWER: Dizziness means different things to different people. In the medical world, we distinguish between two major types: vertigo and lightheadedness.

Vertigo is the sense that the world is moving (usually spinning), but sometimes it’s the person who feels like he or she is moving. Vertigo usually is caused by problems in the organ of balance in the inner ear, or by the nerve that connects it to the brain.

A spreading grass fire, apparently started by a spark from a diesel locomotive, posed a threat to the village of Pemberton shortly before noon today.

Firemen from Sidney, Port Jefferson and Maplewood and members of the Shelby County Civil Defense fire unit fought the blaze that spread along the tracks of the New York Central Railroad, for more than an hour before finally bringing it under control.

Most serious damage from the blaze occurred in a field farmed by Melvin Pfisterer, southwest of Pemberton, where a field of approximately 15 acres of wheat went up in flames. Several other fields adjacent to the railroad right of way were threatened, but farmers and other volunteers kept the fire from spreading into them.

Odds and Ends DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Four red-necked wallabies made a break for freedom after a gate was left open on the Australia exhibit at a Des Moines zoo.

Officials at Blank Park Zoo say the male wallabies, also known as boomers, didn’t get very far during their Sunday night walkabout.

Three of the kangaroo-like mammals were captured within hours and the fourth was picked up Monday morning.

Several workers were needed to surround and catch the marsupials whose strong hind legs can catapult them great distances at high speeds. They never left the grounds of the zoo.

A zoo spokesman says none of the wallabies were hurt during their adventure.

Dying fan meets Cincinnati’s Votto, sees no-hitter Associated Press

CINCINNATI (AP) — A dying Cincinnati Reds fan made one last trip to a baseball game, with an assist by Joey Votto and a gem by Homer Bailey.

Jeffrey Crews of suburban Dayton was in the stands July 2, the day Bailey pitched a no-hitter against San Francisco. Two days later, Crews died at home of brain cancer at 62.

His wife, Colleen, said Tuesday her husband decided to spend his last weeks with family and friends rather than undergo treatment after getting a bleak prognosis last month. A family friend reached out to someone who knew Votto as Crews was making plans to go to the game with his wife, their three children and daughter-in-law.

The result was field-level seats and field passes for batting practice for the whole family. The Reds’ star chatted, then suggested Crews pose for pictures with him. Votto gave him an autographed bat.

“We’ve always been a fan of his and he didn’t have to do all that,” Colleen Crews said. “He just couldn’t have been more of a gentleman, very humble. Just

so nice.”

The family posted a photo of Crews and Votto on a blog they kept to chronicle his final days.

Votto, voted by fans to be the National League starting All-Star first baseman, was in Milwaukee for the Reds’ Tuesday night game against the Brewers and wasn’t available immediately for comment.

The family said in the blog that Reds manager Dusty Baker and infielder Todd Frazier had also come over for autographs and photos.

The Crews family then settled into their seats to watch Bailey throw his second no-hitter. Collen said they learned later that their friends could see them on TV cheering in the stands.

She said Crews, a lifelong fan who considered one of his personal sports highlights playing Dayton youth baseball against Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt, was delighted.

“It was such a blessing and unbelievable,” she said.

A memorial service followed by a celebration of Crews’ life is planned for Wednesday in Centerville.

Lehman is expanding its basketball floor Work is nearly complete on the sanding and resurfacing of the gym floor in the Schlater Gymnasium at Lehman Catholic High School. And when it is all finished, the floor will be 10 feet longer to regulation-size 94 feet.

The newly resurfaced floor will feature the golden arches, since the project was made possible by McDonald’s Restaurant, according to Todd B. Acker | Civitas Media Lehman athletic director Dick Lehman Catholic principal Denise Stauffer checks the progress of the basketball Roll.

Roll said original plans for court resurfacing Monday. Included in the project is lengthening the court from 84 the gym were to make it a feet to college-sized 94 feet.

college-sized 94 feet.

“That was the intent, but somehow we ended up with an 84-foot floor,” Roll said.

“That left 15 feet from the end line to the wall at each end of the floor, so there is plenty of room. Since we were resurfacing the floor, it was a case of do it now or wait another 15 or 20 years until the floor was sanded again.”

The project, done by Ohio Floors out of Holmes County, involved adding five feet to each end of the basketball floor, so there is still plenty of

room at each end. The work started on June 29 and they worked until the Fourth of July holiday. They were back in Sidney doing the finishing touches on Monday.

Of course, the baskets had to be moved, and Lehman turned to Milligan Construction for that.

“One basket we were able to just slide on the post,” said Roll. “The other we had to move the bracket that was on the beams.”

Rodriguez had his left arm over his head and his right hand on the brim of his cap as he walked around in disbelief after Gomez’s game-ending grab.

“He’s so athletic and explosive,” Lohse said of Gomez. “You just see him get good reads. It’s pretty fun to watch.”

Milwaukee got Ryan Braun back from the disabled list, but he did not play in the Brewers’ second win in seven games against Cincinnati this season.

Braun, who had been out with a bruised right thumb, took batting practice for the second straight day and could return to the lineup on Tuesday.

While the 2011 NL MVP returned to the active roster, third baseman Aramis Ramirez went back on the DL again with a nagging left knee injury.

Mesoraco got the start behind the plate for Cincy after Baker said Ryan Hanigan was dealing with soreness, declining to elaborate. But Mesoraco has a back issue and appeared to be playing hurt, grounding out with runners on first and second to end the eighth.

“He’s a tough guy,” Baker said. “I don’t know what we’re going to do tomorrow. I don’t know if he’s going to be all right or not.”

Grant’s first chemo session, his dad said, was during the Buckeyes’ season-opening game in September.

“We had a mini party and watched the Buckeyes play here at the hospital,” Troy Reed said Tuesday while Grant was back at the hospital. He added that the Reeds continued to watch OSU games at the hospital during the weekends that Grant was admitted to continue his chemotherapy treatment.

Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer visited the boy at the hospital in December. Grant’s father said his son talked to Meyer for about 20 minutes.

“He was thrilled,” the father said.

Grant’s parents met as members of the Ohio State Marching Band and got engaged during a game in 1994. Troy Reed said Grant and his 9-year-old brother Collin have a “true respect for the rivalry that OSU and Michigan share.”

Troy Reed said the family is hoping to attend a game during this year’s season, provided that Grant’s health allows them.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State football fans always want to defeat what they call “That school up North.”

So when a 12-year-old Buckeyes fan was diagnosed with cancer 14 months ago, he chose to name his disease Michigan.

He wanted to beat it — and he has.

The young fan, Grant Reed, was released from Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus Friday after receiving a final chemotherapy session.

Grant’s father, Troy Reed, on Tuesday said his son was readmitted to the hospital over the weekend because of a bacterial

infection, but he added the boy is doing “very well.”

“Our prognosis is very good,” he said. “It shows that he has indeed beat Michigan.”

In May 2012, Grant underwent a 16 1/2-hour surgery to have a brain tumor removed. Although the surgery was successful, he woke up without being able to move his left side or speak and had a serious vision problem.

He spent nearly 10 weeks at the hospital following the surgery. He then went through occupational and speech therapies and was able to continue to attend school. He will be in seventh grade this fall.

But his road to recovery included several rounds of

Associated Press

MILWAUKEE (AP) — For a brief moment, the whole game was waiting on Carlos Gomez.

The crowd roared as the Milwaukee Brewers looked toward center field in amazement and Gomez hopped around in front of the wall. When he flipped his glove open as he ran toward the infield, it was over.

Gomez robbed Joey Votto of a potential goahead homer with a spectacular catch for the final out, saving the Brewers’ 4-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night.

“When you save the game like that or when you hit a walk-off home run, it’s amazing,” Gomez said. “I never hit one, but I steal home run to win the game. It’s something special, like you can’t wait to get home to see it over and over.”

Jonathan Lucroy homered for the third consecutive game for lastplace Brewers, who had dropped three of four.

Jean Segura had three hits off Homer Bailey in the right-hander’s first start since his second career no-hitter.

But Gomez made the biggest play of the game when he used a perfectly timed jump to grab Votto’s drive, sending a charge through the crowd on an otherwise sleepy night at Miller Park. The dramatic conclusion came after pinch-hitter Derrick Robinson walked with two outs.

Votto made an appeal to see the ball in Gomez’s glove while he celebrated in the outfield, and sure enough, it was there.

“The whole thing is really a random occurrence and it’s what makes baseball so special,” Votto said. “Carlos has had a fantastic year this year. Today he didn’t have a good game offensively and he goes out and makes a game-changing play on the defensive end.

“You know, I did everything I could, and he made a great play.”

Kyle Lohse (5-6) pitched into the seventh inning for his fourth consecutive winning decision.

Bailey was coming off an absolute gem at home against San Francisco last Tuesday night, when he struck out nine and allowed just one baserunner on a seventh-inning walk. The impressive performance in the Reds’ 3-0 victory gave Bailey a chance to become the second pitcher in major league history to throw consecutive no-hitters.

That opening was slammed shut in the first inning.

Segura dumped a 1-2 pitch into right field for a base hit with one out. He then stole second and went to third on a throwing error by catcher Devin Mesoraco before Lucroy hit his 11th homer to give the Brewers a 2-1 lead.

“It was just one of those days,” Bailey said. “Just never could find a rhythm.”

Segura added an RBI double in the second and an infield hit in the fifth. The All-Star shortstop reached base four times and leads the NL with 113 hits.

Chris Heisey hit a solo homer for Cincinnati, which has lost three of four since taking three in a row against the Giants. Jay Bruce and pinch hitter Xavier Paul each had an RBI single.

Bailey (5-7) was replaced

by Logan Ondrusek after he hit Segura with a pitch with two outs in the sixth.

He allowed a season-high 10 hits and walked three.

“He got out of some tough jams,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said.

Lohse was pulled after he allowed singles to three of the first four batters in the seventh. Heisey was erased when Mesoraco grounded into a double play, but pinch hitter Cesar Izturis and Shin-Soo Choo singled to put runners on the corners.

John Axford came in and surrendered Paul’s run-scoring hit to make it 4-3, but he bounced back to strike out Votto, limiting the damage.

“We don’t win them easy,” Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said.

Lohse was charged with three runs and nine hits.

The righty improved to 4-0 with a 2.37 ERA in his past eight starts.

Jim Henderson worked the eighth and Francisco Rodriguez finished for his ninth save in nine chances and No. 303 for his career,

Bynum weighing 2-year offer from Cavs AP Sports Writer

CLEVELAND (AP) — As the Cavaliers await word from Andrew Bynum, two other teams have joined the chase for the free agent center.

Bynum, who didn’t play a single second for Philadelphia last season because of knee injuries, is considering a two-year offer from the Cavs, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Cleveland made the offer, which includes a team option in the second year, during his visit to the Cavs’ facility Monday. Bynum did not work out but the team examined him thoroughly. The person with knowledge of the negotiations spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks. Yahoo! Sports first reported Cleveland’s offer and said

it was worth $24 million.

While mulling Cleveland’s deal, Bynum visited the Atlanta

Briefs Pirates place Walker on DL

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Pirates have placed second baseman Neil Walker on the 15-day disabled list with soreness in his right side and recalled infielder Josh Harrison from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Walker is hitting .244 with six home runs and 26 RBIs in 72 games this season for the Pirates, but hasn’t played since experiencing pain in his right side while swinging in a loss to the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. Manager Clint Hurdle says the switch-hitting Walker cannot swing lefthanded without difficulty.

Harrison is 2 for 13 in 12 games with the Pirates this season. He is thriving at Indianapolis, where he is hitting .317 with four home runs and 34 RBI in 64 games.

NBA fines Rockets $150,000

NEW YORK (AP) — The Houston Rockets talked too much, too soon about Dwight Howard.

A league spokesman confirms the team and its personnel were fined $150,000 by the NBA for comments made about the All-Star center during the moratorium period.

Howard committed to leave the Los Angeles Lakers and join the Rockets on Friday, and Rockets general manager Daryl Morey gave an interview later that night with Comcast SportsNet Houston in which he talked about the recruitment and landing of him. Coach Kevin McHale also discussed Howard over the weekend at the Orlando Summer League.

Though free agency opened July 1, deals can’t become official until Wednesday, after the 2013-14 salary cap is set.

Richmond leads Ohio Amateur

CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Long before rain suspended play for half the field early in the evening, Corey Richmond staked a claim to a near-perfect day.

How many golfers have a hole in one and shoot an 8-under 63, the lowest round they’ve ever had in a tournament?

Playing in his first Ohio Amateur but managing it like a veteran, the Northern Kentucky senior-to-be forged a three-stroke lead after Tuesday’s rain-delayed first round at Brookside Country Club.

“It’s crazy,” he said of his rapid rise to the top of the leaderboard. “It hasn’t really soaked in yet.”

The West Union native holed an 8 iron from 178 yards on the seventh hole and added eight birdies on a Donald Ross layout considered one of the toughest tests in the state.

After teeing off in the very first threesome, he posted a low score that had to be daunting to a lot of those in the 144-player field.

Cespedes in Home Run Derby

NEW YORK (AP) — Yoenis Cespedes of the Oakland Athletics will swing for the Citi Field fences in the Home Run Derby next Monday night, rounding out the eightplayer field.

Major League Baseball announced Tuesday evening that Cespedes has been selected by American League captain Robinson Cano of the New York Yankees. MLB revealed the other participants Monday, saying Cano’s final pick had not yet been finalized.

Cespedes will become the fourth player not chosen for the All-Star game to compete in the event. The others were Rafael Palmeiro (2004), Hee-Seop Choi (2005) and Ryan Howard (2007), who was defending his crown from the previous year.

The other members of the AL squad are Baltimore slugger Chris Davis and Detroit’s Prince Fielder.

National League captain David Wright of the hometown New York Mets tabbed Washington’s Bryce Harper along with Colorado teammates Carlos Gonzalez and Michael Cuddyer.

Purdue senior on watch list

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Purdue senior tight end Gabe Holmes has been named to the John Mackey Award preseason watch list.

The Mackey Award is presented annually to the outstanding collegiate tight end in the nation.

Holmes had a career-high 25 receptions for 158 yards and two touchdowns in 2012. In 35 career games, Holmes has 37 receptions for 305 yards and three scores.

Purdue announced Holmes’ selection to the watch list Tuesday.

Former Purdue tight end Tim Stratton won the Mackey Award in 2000 when he caught 58 passes for 605 yards and two touchdowns. Current Miami Dolphin Dustin Keller was a semifinalist for the award at Purdue in 2007.

Team USA rolls 101-61

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma’s Aaryn Ellenberg has paced Team USA’s 101-61 victory against the Czech Republic at the World University Games.

The Sooner got off to a fast start on Tuesday, scoring eight of the United States’ first 13 points as the Americans routed their opponent for the second straight day at the games in Kazan, Russia. Ellenberg was 5-of-12 from the field, hitting 2-of-5 3-pointers. The OU senior-tobe also grabbed six rebounds and two steals.

Hawks on Tuesday and plans to meet Wednesday with the Dallas Mavericks, his agent, David Lee, told the AP on Tuesday night.

Lee said there has been no decision made on Cleveland’s deal. He would not say if the Hawks made Bynum an offer. Bynum lives in Atlanta and could be convinced to stay home.

“I don’t want to comment about any ongoing negotiations,” Lee said.

The 25-year-old Bynum had arthroscopic surgery on both knees in March, but the Cavs apparently are confident he will return to the form that made him one of the NBA’s best centers and a two-time All-Star.

They’re also counting on him thriving under Cleveland coach Mike Brown, who has returned to the Cavs after being fired three years ago. Brown and Bynum

spent one season together with the Los Angeles Lakers and the 7-footer had his best year, averaging 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds.

Over the past four seasons, Bynum has averaged 14.7 points and 9.5 rebounds.

Cleveland would like to get an answer from Bynum as soon as possible, but the team did not give him any deadline. The NBA’s freeagency moratorium period ends Wednesday.

The Cavs have already landed forward Earl Clark and guard Jarrett Jack in free agency and are looking to move up quickly. They would immediately vault into contention in the Eastern Conference with a healthy Bynum paired with All-Star guard Kyrie Irving and a roster that includes forward Tristan Thompson, guard Dion Waiters and forward Anthony Bennett, the No. 1 overall pick in

last month’s draft.

Lee has said Bynum will be ready to play by the start of training camp.

The Sixers acquired Bynum last summer from the Lakers as part of a four-team trade. But Bynum, who made $16.9 million despite not playing last season, never got healthy enough to get on the floor and the Sixers crumbled.

The Cavs would be taking a risk with Bynum that could have huge rewards. He would instantly raise their profile and probably get them back to the playoffs after winning just 66 games combined the past three seasons. In giving him only a two-year deal, they would not be tying up much money which would allow them to stay flexible next summer when several top-tier free agents — possibly LeBron James — will be on the market.

Indians blank Blue Jays 3-0 CLEVELAND (AP) — Ubaldo Jimenez and three relievers combined on a shutout and the Cleveland Indians defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 3-0 on Tuesday night.

Jimenez (7-4) dodged constant trouble in six

innings, allowing five hits with two walks and four strikeouts.

Cody Allen, Joe Smith and Chris Perez blanked Toronto over the final three innings. Perez allowed two hits in the ninth, but earned his

10th save as the Indians recorded their American League-leading 11th shutout.

The Indians managed only four hits. Nick Swisher and Michael Brantley had RBI singles in the fourth when the

Indians put together a walk and three straight singles off starter Josh Johnson (1-4), who gave up two runs in seven innings.

Asdrubal Cabrera added a sacrifice fly in the eighth.
