THIS COURTROOM sketch depicts Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev during arraignment in federal court Wednesday in Boston. The 19-yearold has been charged with using a weapon of mass destruction, and could face the death penalty.
BOSTON (AP) — His arm in a cast and his face swollen, a blase-looking Dzhokhar Tsarnaev pleaded not guilty Wednesday in the Boston Marathon bombing in a sevenminute proceeding that marked his first appearance in public since his capture in mid-April. As survivors of the bombing looked on, Tsarnaev, 19, gave a small, lopsided smile to his two sisters upon arriving in the courtroom. He appeared to have a jaw injury and there was swelling around his left eye and cheek. Leaning into the microphone, he told a federal judge, “Not guilty” in his Russian accent and said it over and

One of his sisters sobbed loudly, resting her head on a woman seated next to her. Tsarnaev, who has been hospitalized since his capture with wounds suffered in a shootout and getaway attempt, faces 30 federal charges, including using a weapon of mass destruction to kill, in connection with the April 15 attack that left three people dead and more than 260 wounded.

Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart is warning residents that grandparents across the area are once again being targeted by scam artists posing as their grandchildren. “We have received calls again from residents telling us that this scam is still active in our area,” said Lenhart. “It is reprehensible that scam artists are targeting grandparents; this is a particularly disturbing scam, in which con artists take advantage of grandparents’ generosity and concern for their families. They pretend to be a grandchild and ask the grandparent to send money usually to another country,” he said. In a typical grandparent scam, con artists call grandparents and say, “Hi Grandma” or “Hi Grandpa,” tricking grandparents into believing that their grandchild really is calling. The scammers then make up a story explaining that they are stuck in another country or that they are in jail and need money. They often ask the grandparents not to tell the child’s parents about the situation. For example, they may say, “Please, Grandma, don’t tell my mom or dad. Let’s keep this between us.” Or “Don’t tell my mom or dad, I want to tell them myself when I get home” A Shelby County resident came into the Sheriff’s Office and said they received a call from someone pretending to be her grandson. He claimed he was in a foreign country with a friend and said they
had been picked up by the police. He asked her to send him money via wire transfer so that he could be released. She and her husband were leery and did their due diligence, they called their grandson directly and he was home safe and sound. She also had discovered that he had not been out the night before and was home with his family all night. “We want to protect our grandparent and our elderly residents from this scam, especially as we are in the prime time when many families take vacations,” said Lenhart. “Scam artists are checking social networking websites to learn about someone’s vacation plans and then contact that person’s grandparents pretending to be the real grandchild.” To protect themselves and their family members, all residents should avoid posting travel information online and remember never to wire transfer money to someone who calls unexpectedly, even if the caller claims to be a grandchild or other family member. And especially when they want it sent to an overseas location. When in doubt, grandparents should ask the caller a question that only their real family members would know how to answer. They also can consider creating a code word that only family members know to use in an emergency. If any resident has been scammed, they are urged to file a report with their local law enforcement agency.

Hasselbeck exits ‘The View’ NEW YORK (AP) — Elisabeth Hasselbeck left “The View” after a decade on Wednesday, showing no hard feelings toward her colleagues even though her political views made for some awkward and heated exchanges on the daytime chat fest over the years. Her exit came less than 24 hours after it was announced that Hasselbeck will join Fox News Channel and the “Fox & Friends” morning show in September. Fellow cast member Joy Behar joked about Hasselbeck being a “fish out of water” on the Fox show, which is popular with conservatives. Hasselbeck, who appeared at the Republican National Convention in 2008, usually found herself outnumbered on “The View” when she offered conservative political opinions. On Wednesday, she thanked the show’s executive producer, Bill Geddie, for challenging her and telling her to “never be fearful of voicing my opinion.”

OIU will enforce liquor laws at Country Concert NEWPORT - If you’re one of the several thousand people who will be attending one of the three multi-day concerts in Ohio, the Ohio Investigative Unit wants you to enjoy the show safely by abiding by Ohio’s liquor laws. The three major multiday concerts are held at the following locations: Country Concert at Hickory Hill Lakes in Ft. Loramie, today through Saturday; Jamboree in the Hills in Belmont, July 18 – 21 All Good Festival at Legend Valley in Thornville, July 18 - 21 OIU will have undercover agents at each venue working with local law enforcement agencies. Agents will be looking for underage drinking, furnishing to underage and public intoxication. Other offenses agents come across during the large concerts are drug related and possession of false identification. “We want July’s concert season to be safe inside the venues, in the camping areas, and on the roads leading
to and from the area,” said Agent-in-Charge Eric Wolf. “It’s important that festival-goers remember to follow the laws so everyone can have an enjoyable time.” In 2012, agents charged 51 people with alcohol related offenses. That was down from 117 people charged in 2011. As a reminder of the seriousness to make good decisions and not get behind the wheel – Ohio State Highway Patrol will have additional troopers on the road looking for impaired drivers. During the 2012 Jamboree in the Hills, the Patrol’s St. Clairsville Post investigated a crash where one person was killed after a vehicle veered off of Route 40 and went into a pond. The driver was intoxicated. The St. Clairsville Post charged 15 people with OVI during Jamboree in the Hills last year. Also, the Piqua Post charged eight with OVI during Country Concert last year, while the Granville Post arrested three for OVI during the All Good Fest.

ABOARD THE USS GEORGE H.W. BUSH (AP) — The Navy successfully landed a drone the size of a fighter jet aboard an aircraft carrier for the first time Wednesday, showcasing the military’s capability to have a computer program perform one of the most difficult tasks that a pilot is asked to do. The landing of the X-47B experimental aircraft means the Navy can move forward with its plans to develop another unmanned aircraft that will join the fleet alongside traditional airplanes to provide around-the-clock surveillance while also possessing a strike capability. It also would pave the way for the U.S. to launch unmanned aircraft without the need to obtain permission from other countries to use their bases. “It is not often that you get a chance to see the future, but that’s what we got to do today. This is an amazing day for aviation in general and for naval aviation in particular,” Navy Secretary Ray Mabus said after watching the landing.
The X-47B experimental aircraft took off from Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland before approaching the USS George H.W. Bush, which was operating about 70 miles off the coast of Virginia. The tail-less drone landed by deploying a hook that caught a wire aboard the ship and brought it to a quick stop, just like normal fighter jets do. The maneuver is known as an arrested landing and had previously only been done by the drone on land at Patuxent River. Landing on a ship that is constantly moving while navigating through turbulent air behind the aircraft carrier is seen as a more difficult maneuver, even on a clear day with low winds like Wednesday. Rear Adm. Mat Winter, the Navy’s program executive officer for unmanned aviation and strike weapons, said everything about the flight — including where on the flight deck the plane would first touch and how many feet its hook would bounce — appeared to go exactly as planned. “This is a historic day. This is a banner day. This is a red-flag letter
day,” Winter said. “You can call it what you want, but the fact of the matter is that you just observed history — history that your greatgrandchildren, my great grandchildren, everybody’s great grandchildren are going to be reading in our history books.” Less than an hour after that first landing, the jet took off from the carrier and then landed again. The Navy said it would perform three total landings on Wednesday. The Navy will do some additional tests and analysis on the jet, and possibly some more landings in the next few days if the carrier’s schedule allows for it , but the first landing was the last major benchmark for the program to hit. The X-47B will never be put into operational use, but it will help Navy officials develop future carrier-based drones. Those drones could begin operating by 2020, according to Winter. Four companies are expected to compete for a contract to design the future unmanned aircraft, which will be awarded in fiscal year 2014.

Ohio woman’s remains returned from Indiana Dan Sewell
The Associated Press
CINCINNATI (AP) — The remains of a 21-year-old southwest Ohio woman found in Indiana 20 months after she disappeared are still being tested in an effort to determine how and where she died, police said Wednesday. Indiana State Police say Katelyn Markham’s remains were returned recently to Ohio after nearly three months of examination by a forensic anthropologist in Indianapolis. Sgt. Neal Houze said the Hamilton County coroner in Cincinnati will conduct more testing on the remains. That
office referred questions to the Franklin County (Ind.) coroner, who didn’t immediately return a telephone call seeking comment. Markham’s 2011 disappearance from her home in Fairfield, a Cincinnati suburb, led to massive searches before her skeletal remains were found April 7 by people looking for scrap metal near a creek in the Cedar Grove, Ind., area. She was reported missing days before she would have turned 22. “There’s nothing simple about it,” Houze said. “After almost two years, that makes things really tough.” Indiana and Fairfield city police have been working
together on the investigation since her remains were identified April 10. Investigators reinterviewed people who knew her and other possible witnesses. Houze said if the death is ruled a homicide, authorities would seek to determine where Markham died in order to decide where potential charges would be brought. “They haven’t stopped interviewing witnesses,” Fairfield police spokesman Doug Day said, saying investigators work on the case daily and that other steps will be “based on the results” of testing of the remains. Markham’s home was about 25 miles east of where her
remains were found along Big Cedar Creek. The case had stunned Fairfield, a community of some 43,000 residents where violent crime is rare. She was last seen by her fiance, John Carter, late Saturday, Aug. 13, 2011. He said she then sent him a text message not long after he left her home. Carter called police that Sunday evening. He said she hadn’t responded to text messages, and that he became alarmed when he went to her home to find her car and nearly all her belongings still there.

Ohio State builds $190,000 office for ex-president COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State University is building a $190,000 office suite for retired president Gordon Gee and an assistant. The Dayton Daily News reports Wednesday that construction on the Page Hall office begins next month.
Ohio State spokesman Gary Lewis says the goal is to complete the project by late September or early October. Lewis says Gee will become a tenured professor in the nearby Moritz College of Law as part of his retirement package, which is not yet finalized.
Lewis says details on how the suite will be funded are still being worked out. The 69-year-old Gee retired July 1, a month after remarks became public that he made months earlier jabbing Notre Dame, Roman Catholics and Southeastern Conference schools.

Pig virus migrates to US, threatens pork prices Steven K. Paulson Associated Press
DENVER (AP) — Pork prices may be on the rise in the next few months because of a new virus that has migrated to the U.S, killing piglets in 15 states at an alarming rate in facilities where it has been reported. Dr. Nick Striegel (STREE’-gel), assistant state veterinarian for the Colorado Department of Agriculture, said Wednesday the Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus, also known as PED, was thought to exist only in Europe and China, but Colorado and 14 other states began reporting the virus in April, and officials confirmed its presence in May. The virus causes severe diarrhea, vomiting and severe dehydration in pigs, and can be fatal. “It has been devastating for those producers where it has been diagnosed. It affects nursing pigs, and in some places,
there has been 100 percent mortality,” he said. Striegel said the disease is not harmful to humans, and there is no evidence it affects pork products. He said outbreaks are not required to be reported to federal officials, so the extent of the spread is difficult to determine, but in Colorado at least two large production facilities have seen outbreaks. The virus has been confirmed in about 200 hog facilities in 14 other states including Arkansas, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and South Dakota, according to the American Association of Swine Veterinarians. Dr. Lisa Becton, director of swine health information and research for the National Pork Board, an industry trade group, said the impact on the availability of pork and

meat prices is difficult to estimate. “At this point, I really don’t have any indications what that potential impact would be. Obviously, we know for individual farms the impact is severe, especially if it’s a sow farm that has baby pigs, because baby pigs do suffer the most from the disease,” she said. According to the Iowa Pork Industry Center, an industry advocate, the ability to test for the disease is limited. It is believed to be transmitted by infected food or feces, and can be contained by quarantining infected animals and washing down trucks and production facilities. Becton said the disease can spread quickly and has killed entire populations of pigs under 7 days old. “As they get older, by the time they’re weaned at around 3 weeks of age, death loss can be around 80 percent or in
severe cases upwards of 100 percent. Typically, after weaning mortality declines dramatically,” she said. She said veterinarians are still not sure how the disease got to the U.S. Phil Lukens, co-owner of Lukens Farms located about 100 miles north of Denver where about 20 pigs a year are raised for market, said he has not been warned about the new disease, but he said most farmers already take stringent precautions to protect their pigs. “There are so many viruses, you always assume the worst. We keep our place clean, and we quarantine new animals for 30 days,” Lukens said. Associated Press writer David Pitt in Des Moines, Iowa, contributed to this report.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Working with cancer patients and children with terminal illnesses could be disheartening for some, but volunteer Jen Koch saw a unique opportunity. As a volunteer at Akron Children’s Hospital, Koch remembered thinking that those children, who often faced physical-altering treatments, could use a pick-meup. “It just really struck a chord with me to see a child with no hair and with scars. It’s so easy to be moved,” she said. So Koch, of Sagamore Hills, decided to lighten up the children’s spirits with Smiles with Style, a nonprofit organization she formed to offer mini-makeovers to the children. Koch, who volunteers at Akron Children’s Hospital and approximately once a week at Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital in Cleveland, said she’s seen the positive results that can be achieved with just a little lip gloss or a plastic tiara. “It takes as little as five minutes to change their whole day,” she said. Shari Racut, manager of family and child services at Rainbow, said the staff immediately jumped on board when they were contacted by Koch, who offered her services to patients. “It’s an amazing program. We owe that all to
Jen,” she said. Koch, who pushed her makeover cart through the hospital’s halls a few weeks ago, said the great thing about the program is the cost. Makeovers can be offered for as little as $5 to $10 worth of supplies, which are often donated by friends and local organizations. And some local students are hoping to expand the program. Pre-med students at the Cleveland Clinic in Lorain brainstormed ideas to fund Smiles with Style. A fundraiser was held at Ziggy’s Pub and Restaurant in Amherst last month, and students planned for another fundraiser at a local Applebee’s restaurant in July. “These students are really go-getters,” said Matt Frombach, administrator at Cleveland Clinic in Lorain. He added that students are not only exposed to the medical field at Cleveland Clinic but are also asked to get involved with the community through the use of service projects. Student Chair Liz Bruno said pre-med students chose Smiles with Style because the organization was unique, and, because the program is in its infancy, students had the opportunity to help it grow. “I think we really liked the idea behind it,” she said. “Lifting the kids’ spirits would be great.” Information from: The Chronicle-Telegram, http://www.chronicletelegram.com

Nation/World Sidney Daily News, Thursday, July 11, 2013 Today in history By the Associated Press
Today is Thursday, July 11, the 192nd day of 2013. There are 173 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 11, 1533, Pope Clement VII issued a bull of excommunication against England’s King Henry VIII for the annulment of the king’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon and subsequent marriage to second wife Anne Boleyn. On this date: In 1767, John Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the United States, was born in Braintree, Mass. In 1798, the U.S. Marine Corps was formally re-established by a congressional act that also created the U.S. Marine Band. In 1804, Vice President Aaron Burr mortally wounded former Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton during a pistol duel in Weehawken, N.J. In 1859, Big Ben, the great bell inside the famous London clock tower, chimed for the first time. In 1922, the Hollywood Bowl officially opened with a program called “Symphonies Under the Stars” with Alfred Hertz conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In 1937, American composer and pianist George Gershwin died at a Los Angeles hospital of a brain tumor; he was 38. In 1952, the Republican national convention, meeting in Chicago, nominated Dwight D. Eisenhower for president and Richard M. Nixon for vice president. In 1960, the novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee was first published by J.B. Lippincott and Co. In 1973, a Varig 707 from Brazil made an emergency crash-landing outside Paris after fire broke out on board, sending smoke into the cabin; 123 of the 134 people on board perished. In 1979, the abandoned U.S. space station Skylab made a spectacular return to Earth, burning up in the atmosphere and showering debris over the Indian Ocean and Australia. In 1988, nine people were killed when suspected Palestinian gunmen attacked hundreds of tourists aboard a Greek cruise ship, the City of Poros, which was steaming toward a marina in suburban Athens. In 1995, the U.N.designated “safe haven” of Srebrenica (SREH’-breh-neetsah) in Bosnia-Herzegovina fell to Bosnian Serb forces, who then carried out the killings of 8,000 Muslim men and boys. Ten years ago: President George W. Bush put responsibility squarely on the CIA for his disputed claim that Iraq had tried to acquire nuclear material from Africa, prompting Director George Tenet to publicly accept full blame for the miscue. The World Trade Organization ruled that heavy duties on steel imports imposed by the United States violated global trade rules. Thousands marked the anniversary of the 1995 massacre at Srebrenica (SREH’-brehneet-sah) in Bosnia, burying 282 newly identified victims.

5,000-year-old writing found BEIJING (AP) — Archaeologists say they have discovered some of the world’s oldest known primitive writing, dating back about 5,000 years, in eastern China, and some of the markings etched on broken axes resemble a modern Chinese character. The inscriptions on artifacts found at a relic site south of Shanghai are about 1,400 years older than the oldest written Chinese language. Chinese scholars are divided over whether the markings are words or something simpler, but they say the finding will shed light on the origins of Chinese language and culture. The oldest writing in the world is believed to be from Mesopotamia, dating back slightly more than 5,000 years. Chinese characters are believed to have been developed independently.

AP: Pentagon eyes cuts in danger pay WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon is eyeing plans to eliminate danger pay for service members in as many as 18 countries and five waterways around the world, saving about $120 million each year while taking a bite out of troops’ salaries, The Associated Press has learned. Senior defense and military leaders are expected to meet later this week to review the matter and are poised to approve a new plan. Pentagon press secretary George Little declined to discuss details but said no final decisions have been made. Senior military leaders came up with the proposed list of locations in their regions that no longer were perilous enough to warrant danger pay, including several countries in the heart of the tumultuous Middle East, such as Jordan, where hundreds of troops have recently deployed because of the bloody Syrian civil war on its border. Defense officials said the proposal would strip the stipend — which can be up to $225 per month — from as many as 56,000 service members, including thousands stationed in Kuwait, which was
a key hub during the Iraq war. It also would affect thousands of sailors who routinely travel through the Persian Gulf region on ships or airmen who fly over the Gulf. The $225 monthly cut in pay would come regardless of the service member’s base salary, which can range from a low of roughly $18,000 a year for a brand new recruit to a high of nearly $235,000 a year for a four-star general with more than 40 years in the military. Troops also can receive a variety of other allowances for housing, clothing or job specialties. Defense officials described the proposal on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about it. Under the plans being discussed, troops would still receive the extra money if they serve in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen and in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. The U.S. does not have any military members now serving in Iran. Some of the countries that could likely be dropped from the list include Bahrain, where the Navy’s 5th Fleet is located; Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Liberia,
Haiti and several former Soviet republics. Officials have argued that if service members are allowed to bring their families with them for assignments in places like Bahrain, then it is difficult to argue that they should receive danger pay. The list has routinely evolved over many years, with countries added as they became more dangerous hotspots. And military leaders do periodic reviews of the list. While the changes are based solely on the security review, the cuts also come as the Pentagon is under growing pressure to slash its budget, and as more than 650,000 civilians began taking the first of their 11 required days off without pay through the end of this fiscal year on Sept. 30. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said earlier this week that the fiscal pressures and congressional gridlock have led to far more abrupt and steeper cuts than expected. He noted that if Congress does not find a way to avoid the automatic budget cuts known as sequestration, the department will have to find $52 billion in additional savings next year. So far, the danger pay deci-
sion does not affect the tax-free status of service members’ pay when serving in those countries or on ships in the Gulf region. Under existing Defense Department rules, military troops serving in as many as two dozen different nations as well as the Persian Gulf, Red Sea, Gulf of Oman, Arabian Sea and Gulf of Aden have been able to receive the imminent danger pay. Until early 2012, they received the full monthly amount — $225 at the time — for any complete or partial month they served in any of the qualifying areas. Beginning Feb. 1, 2012, troops received pro-rated payments of $7.50 for each day they were on official duty in one of the areas. The total cost has been about $500 million per year. Officials also said the proposed changes do not affect hostile fire pay. Service members who are exposed to a hostile fire or hostile mine explosion event are eligible to receive a full monthly payment of $225. But they can’t receive both danger pay and hostile fire pay for the same month.

SPEAKER OF the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, emerges from a closed-door meeting with House Republicans to work on an approach to immigration reform, at the Capitol in Washington, Wednesday. The GOP leadership rejected the immigration bill passed by the Democratic-controlled Senate, saying in a statement, “House committees will continue their work on a step-by-step, common-sense approach to fixing what has long been a broken system.”
Bush nudges GOP on immigration David Espo and Erica Werner The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Divided on immigration, House Republicans bluntly challenged President Barack Obama’s willingness to secure the nation’s borders on Wednesday, and appeared unimpressed by George W. Bush’s advice to carry a “benevolent spirit” into a debate that includes a possible path to citizenship for millions. Emerging from a closed-door meeting, GOP leaders affirmed a step-by-step approach to immigration but offered neither specifics nor a timetable — nor any mention of possible citizenship for an estimated 11 million immigrants living in the country unlawfully. Instead, in a written state-
ment noting that the White House recently delayed a key part of the health care law, Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and other leaders said the action raised concerns that the administration “cannot be trusted to deliver on its promises to secure the border and enforce laws as part of a single, massive bill like the one passed by the Senate.” Lawmakers streaming out of the two-hour meeting said Bush’s long-distance advice had not come up in a discussion that focused instead on the importance of securing the nation’s borders and a general distrust of Obama. The former president’s ability to sway a new generation of House conservatives was a matter of considerable doubt, especially because many of the tea
party-backed lawmakers have risen to power since he left the White House and are strongly on record in opposition to any citizenship provision. “We care what people back home say, not what some former president says,” declared Rep. Tim Huelskamp, a secondterm Kansas Republican who has clashed with the party leadership in the House. Still, the timing and substance of Bush’s remarks were reminders of the imperative that many national party leaders feel that Republicans must broaden their appeal among Hispanic voters to compete successfully in future presidential elections. President Barack Obama took more than 70 percent of their votes in winning a second term last fall.
LAC-MEGANTIC, Quebec (AP) — Canadian officials are now telling the families of the 30 people missing in a runaway oil train crash over the weekend that all are presumed dead. With 20 bodies found, that would put the death toll from Saturday’s derailment and explosions at 50. The head of the U.S. railway company whose oil train crashed into the Quebec town has blamed the engineer for failing to set the brakes properly. A fire on the train just hours before the crash is also being investigated. Parts of the devastated town had been too hot and dangerous to enter and find bodies even days after the disaster. Some 60 had been presumed missing earlier. The Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway train hurtled downhill for seven miles (11 kilometers) before derailing in the center of LacMegantic. All but one of the 73 cars was carrying oil, and at least five exploded. The crash raised questions about the increasing use of rail to transport oil in North America. Edward Burkhardt, president and CEO of the railway’s parent company, Rail World Inc., said the engineer has been suspended without pay and was under “police control.” “We think he applied some hand brakes, but the question is, did he apply enough of them?” Burkhardt said. “He said he applied 11 hand brakes. We think that’s not true. Initially we believed him, but now we don’t.”
Investigators look into pairing of Asiana pilots Martha Mendoza The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — As Flight 214 descended over San Francisco Bay, both Asiana Airlines pilots were trying something new. In the left seat of the cockpit sat Lee Gang-kuk, a 46-year-old pilot with just 35 hours of experience flying a Boeing 777 who was landing the big jet for his first time at San Francisco International Airport. At his right was Lee Jeong-Min, a trainer making his
first trip as an instructor pilot. While the two men had years of aviation experience, this mission involved unfamiliar duties, and it was the first time they had flown together. The flight came to a tragic end when the airliner crashlanded Saturday, killing two passengers and injuring many others. National Transportation Safety Board chairman Deborah Hersman said Wednesday the pilot told investigators he was blinded by a light at about 500 feet, which would have been 34 seconds before impact and the
point at which the airliner began to slow and drop precipitously. She said lasers have not been ruled out. It was unclear, however, if the flash might have played a role in the crash. The agency also said that after the crash landing, passengers were told to stay seated while the crew contacted the control tower, and people did not begin fleeing the aircraft until 90 seconds later when a fire was spotted outside the plane. At that point, the doors were
opened and escape slides were inflated. Two flight attendants were pinned by slides that inflated inside during the impact. Experts say investigators trying to piece together what went wrong will consider the report about the light and many other factors including the pairing of the pilots, who were assigned to work together through a tightly regulated system developed after several deadly crashes in the 1980s that were blamed in part on inexperience in the cockpit.
Suspect From page 1 officers, and members of the public and the media. The Russian immigrant and former college student looked much as he did in a photo widely circulated after his arrest, his hair curly and unkempt. Wearing an orange prison jumpsuit, he appeared nonchalant, almost bored, during the hearing. The cast covered his left forearm, hand and fingers. The bombing victims showed little reaction in the courtroom after a federal marshal warned them against any outbursts. Liz Norden, the mother of two men who lost their right legs in the bombings, said afterward: “I actually felt sick to my stomach.” MIT Police Chief John DiFava, who was also in the courtroom, said Tsarnaev looked “smug.” “I didn’t see a lot of remorse. I didn’t see a lot of regret,” he said. “It just seemed to me that if
I was in that position, I would have been a lot more nervous, certainly scared.” DiFava added: “I just wanted to see him. I wanted to see the person that so coldly and callously killed four people, one of whom being an officer of mine.” Authorities say Tsarnaev orchestrated the bombing along with his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died following a gun battle with police three days after the attack. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was arrested on April 19, hiding in a bloodstained boat in a suburban backyard after a manhunt that paralyzed much of the Boston area. Tsarnaev is also charged in the killing of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer and the carjacking of a motorist during their getaway attempt. His two sisters were in court in Muslim garb.
One was carrying a baby; the other wiped away tears with a tissue. Tsarnaev’s parents remained back in Russia. Tsarnaev’s lawyer Judy Clarke, an expert in death penalty cases, asked that the judge enter not-guilty pleas for him, but U.S. Magistrate Judge Marianne Bowler said: “I would ask him to answer.” On the same day as the arraignment, Boston’s police commissioner appeared on Capitol Hill and complained to a Senate panel that the Justice Department failed to share information on terrorism threats with local officials before the bombing. “There is a gap with information sharing at a higher level while there are still opportunities to intervene in the planning of these terrorist events,” Commissioner Edward F. Davis III said.

Dear Heloise: My CELLPHONE recently stopped working correctly, and it just kept turning on and off and on and off. I knew I should take it to the phone store, but I didn’t have time. So, I went online and typed in the make and model of my phone and what it was doing wrong. My phone provider had a page that gave me an option to try before having to take it in for repair. I tried the method, step by step, and my phone came right back up! I haven’t had a problem, except that it didn’t save my contacts — ugh! — A.R. in Washington, D.C. Glad you were able to fix your phone without leaving home! Sorry that you lost the contacts. It is important to save the contacts to your SIM (subscriber identity module).

Visitors Bureau logs statistics Shelby County Visitors Bureau Director Jeff Raible reported the following statistics during a meeting of the bureau’s advisory committee in June: Web site traffic for May: 658 web visits (1,899 web visits in 2012); 584 absolute unique visitors (1,651 absolute uniques in 2012); 1,987 page views (3,213 page views in 2012); 1,478 Facebook views (940 views in 2012) Despite reductions in overall site traffic, time on site metrics continue to show improvement. It
appears that fewer people are visiting the site, but those who arrive remain there for longer periods of time, Raible reported. The bureau sent information to 1,368 individuals in May who were interested in learning more about this area after visiting the web site or seeing ads in the Discover Ohio Travel Planner, Readers Digest, and the Madden Media Regional Newspaper Insert. Reader response requests filled for the same period in 2012 numbered 1,404. Raible reported that
he had updated local events information on DiscoverOhio.com for events scheduled September through December. Doing so increases the likelihood that they will be published in the fall/winter calendar of events travel catalogue produced by TourismOhio, the state’s official office of tourism, he said. Raible reported that he coordinated with organizer James Clay and the American Youth Basketball tour to plan their return to Sidney for a weekend youth basketball tournament June

Wilson trustees hear reports The Wilson Memorial Hospital Board of Trustees met in regular session on June 26. Dr. Robert McDevitt, chief of staff, provided a report on the medical staff, noting that nine of the 10 practitioners being recommended for medical staff privileges are physician assistants (PAs). The use of PAs is going to be an increasing trend in physician offices and hospitals. Thomas Boecker, president and CEO, provided an update on recent hospital activity: Dr. Rakesh Nanda has signed an agreement to join Wilson Care LLC as a full-time, family-medicine physician effective July 8 in the
Vandemark Family Practice office, 661 N. Vandemark Road. Nanda has been providing temporary coverage for several months. Boecker announced that the renovation of a portion of the Vandemark office is underway for Orthopedic Institute of Ohio in Lima. The office is scheduled to open on July 29. The triennial licensure survey of the OB Department by the Ohio Department of Health was June 4-6. Boecker announced the overall survey was positive and the birth center has received a threeyear licensure renewal. Boecker informed board members of Wilson Memorial’s attendance at the annu-
al Ohio Hospital Association annual dinner June 11 at which an OHA Healthcare Worker of the Year is named. The hospital’s nominee was Linda Smith, infection preventionist and employee health nurse. The annual auxiliary lunch was June 18. Boecker noted that Ken Monnier, board chair, and McDevitt joined him in recognizing the Wilson Memorial Auxiliary members for their efforts over the past year. There are currently 187 members in the auxiliary. In 2012, they provided 19,000 hours of service in numerous areas of the hospital, and donated $15,000 through Gift Shop profits and fundraising activities.

before God is one thing, but we will continue to struggle living truthfully if we are not truthful before our brothers and sisters. This is challenging because it requires being open and vulnerable before others. Some do this in accountability relationships, small groups, or small church settings. Whatever the context, it must be done in trust and love. Living truthfully isn’t easy, but it’s what God desires from us as his children. It’s part of the transforming process of being continuously restored and renewed through Jesus Christ. It’s a path to true freedom. Remember that motto? The truth shall set you free.
the restored, whole, and true way of living. But even as brothers and sisters who have been baptized into the family of God, we continue to struggle to live truthfully with ourselves before God and others. This is when we face temptations. It’s when the demons of lust, greed, selfishness and pride assail us from all sides. But this will happen. It’s when we give in to those demons, those temptations, that we become untrue in our relationships. And it is in those instances that we must cry out from the depths of our souls, “Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner!” That might seem easy enough, but it’s not. Yes, being truthful

University of Dayton Rosary Rally to celebrate mysteries in life of Jesus in pilgrimage across campus DAYTON — An unusual procession dedicated to Mary, the mother of Jesus, will travel from a hill high on the University of Dayton campus to its heart during a Rosary Rally. Along the way, participants will stop at five stations to explore the major events in the public life of Jesus through the eyes of Mary with dance, music, prayer and meditation. “When you look at the history of religion, one of the activities that attracts people the most is the pilgrimage,” said the Rev. Johann Roten, director of research and special projects for the University of Dayton’s Marian Library/International Marian Research Institute. “There is great joy in moving toward a goal and doing it in the company of other people.” The rally begins at 7 p.m. July 30 near the Marycrest
Residence Complex. In case of rain, the event will be held in the Immaculate Conception Chapel. It’s free and open to the public and is part of the “Our Faith and Mary: A Symposium to Celebrate the Year of Faith” symposium scheduled for July 30-Aug. 1 at the university. The University of Dayton rosary procession follows in the tradition of the Rosary Rally movement, said the Rev. John Phalen, president of Holy Cross Family Ministries, which carries on that work. “Part of the richness and the genius of Our Lady’s rosary is how adaptable it is to pastoral settings and the spiritual needs of the church in different moments,” said Phalen, who will attend the event. “We will walk peacefully visiting some of the sacred places of the University of Dayton; praying
the rosary as an integral part of the symposium is a wonderful way to turn to her.” Roten said the stops represent the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary, introduced by Pope John Paul II in 2002 to bring focus to events in the public ministry of Jesus: • The Baptism of Jesus: Serenity Gardens. • The Wedding at Cana: Marianist Hall statue of Mary. • Proclamation of the Kingdom of God: Humanities Plaza with Hispanic dance from Holy Trinity Church in Dayton. • The Transfiguration of Jesus: College Park Circle, Our Lady of the Pillar statue. • The First Eucharist: Immaculate Conception Chapel.

CAIRO (AP) — With a mob of Muslim extremists on their tail, the Christian businessman and his nephew climbed up on the roof and ran for their lives, jumping from building to building in their southern Egyptian village. Finally they ran out of rooftops. Forced back onto the street, they were overwhelmed by several dozen men. The attackers hacked them with axes and beat them with clubs and tree limbs, killing Emile Naseem, 41. The nephew survived with wounds to his shoulders and head and recounted the chase to The Associated Press. The mob’s rampage through the village of Nagaa Hassan, burning dozens of Christian houses and stabbing to death three other Christians as well, came two days after the military ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi from power. It was no coincidence the attackers focused on Naseem and his family: He was the village’s most prominent campaigner calling

for Morsi’s removal. Some Christians are paying the price for their activism against Morsi and his Islamist allies in a backlash over his ouster last week. Since then, there has been a string of attacks on Christians in provinces that are strongholds of hard-liners. In the Sinai Peninsula, where militant groups run rampant, militants gunned down a priest in a drive-by shooting as he walked in a public market. Egypt’s Christian minority, about 10 percent of the population, long shunned politics for fear of reprisals, relying on their church to make their case to those in power. That changed in the revolutionary fervor when autocrat Hosni Mubarak was toppled in 2011, as Christians started to demand a say in the country’s direction. But they took it to a new level during Morsi’s year in office and the empowerment of his Islamist allies. The new Coptic Christian pope, Tawadros II, enthroned in November, openly criticized the president. He told Christians they were free to actively participate in politics and
that the church will not discourage them. “The Christians have emerged from under the robes of the clergy and will never go back,” said Ezzat Ibrahim, an activist from Minya, a southern province with a large Christian community. It was a risky gamble for a minority that has long felt vulnerable, with its most concentrated communities often living in the same rural areas where the most vehement and vocal Islamists hold sway. During Morsi’s year in office, some of his hard-line allies increasingly spoke of Christians as enemies of Islam and warned them to remember they are a minority. When the wave of protests against Morsi began on June 30, Brotherhood media depicted it as dominated by Christians — and to hard-liners, it smacked of Christians rising up against a Muslim ruler. The worst anti-Christian backlash since Morsi’s July 3 ouster was the attack in Nagaa Hassan, a dusty village on the west bank of the Nile River, not far from the most majestic ancient Egyptian archaeological sites in the city of Luxor.

I want you to think of sin as being untrue about ourselves before God and before others. Living sinfully is living falsely. It’s living a life that is completely opposite of the fulfilled life God created us (and all human beings!) to enjoy. That life, of course, has been revealed and made available to all humankind — whomever chooses to accept it — through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is in, through and with him that we are transformed from the broken, fragmented, false way of living into

Today’s sports Replay 50 years ago July 11, 1963 The Stolle bowling team finished third in the State Bowling Proprietors Association of America meet in Columbus recently. The crew held the runnerup spot for 15 minutes but wound up third and out of the running for a berth in the national in Missouri, where former president Harry Truman will roll the first ball. The Stolle members were Les Ball, Frank Van Hook, Jerry Knoop, Gene Wagner and Berlie McBride. 25 years ago July 11, 1988 The Sidney Zoo captured first place in the Westerville Tournament in Columbus over the weekend, winning five straight games without a loss. Behind the hitting of Nancy Schurr, Bev Conrad and Laura Watkins, and the pitching of several girls, Sidney coasted to victory after victory. Miss Schurr won the batting trophy with a .473 average, Conrad hit .437 and Watkins .400. And the pitching staff gave up just five earned runs in five games. Watkins, Amy Estridge, Rhonda Hurr and Terri Lattimer did the pitching. 10 years ago July 11, 2003 Heavy flooding at Custenborder, Flanagan and other Sidney ball fields had amateur baseball and adult softball association officials experiencing deja vu. With Custenborder’s seven and Flanagan’s four fields all under water to the top of the fences, amateur baseball commissioner Tim Clayton is looking back to similar conditions, saying “it also happened 10 years ago.” He estimated as many as 30 games have been lost to the flooding.
What year was it? In the National League, the big news of this season was the trading of the most Amazin’ Met of all, Tom Seaver, to the Cincinnati Reds, a trade that still angers Mets fans. The 32-year old righthander posted a 14-3 record with the Reds this year, and was 21-6 overall with the club. And teammate George Foster posted some of the biggest numbers of the generation — .320 average, 52 home runs, 149 RBIs — and the NL MVP award.

Reds avoid sweep thanks to Leake MILWAUKEE (AP) — Mike Leake scattered four hits over 8 1-3 innings and Brandon Phillips had three RBI, lifting the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday. The Reds put the leadoff runner on base in each of the first seven innings and snapped a three-game losing streak. Leake (8-4) bounced back from a rare rough start in his last outing and seemed to get stronger as the game progressed. He allowed four walks while striking out two. Milwaukee starter Johnny Hellweg (0-3) had trouble throwing strikes and was battered for his fourth consecutive appearance. The righthander, who made his majorleague debut on June 28, allowed four runs on four hits and five walks in 4 1-3 innings. Leake allowed four runs in just five innings during his last start July 5 in a 7-4 loss to Seattle, and gave up a firstinning run to Milwaukee. The right-hander then settled down, giving up Sean Halton’s first major-league home run and a walk to Jeff Bianchi in the fifth before retiring 13 consecutive batters. Jonathan Lucroy reached off Leake on a one-out single in the ninth, and Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker turned to closer Aroldis Chapman to finish the game in a non-save situation. Shin-Soo Choo had two singles, a double and a walk as the first seven batters in the Cincinnati lineup reached base during the game. Phillips had two hits and drove in runs in the first, third and seventh innings.

Hernandez’s troubles bring scrutiny on Meyer Ralph D. Russo
AP College Football Writer
Aaron Hernandez’s troubles have become Urban Meyer’s problem. A murder charge against Hernandez, who played for Meyer at Florida from 2007-09, has led to greater scrutiny of Meyer’s time as Gators head coach — a six-year run highlighted by two national championships and Tim Tebow’s Heisman Trophy, but also marked by about two dozen players making the police blotter. Hernandez was not one of the 25 players who accounted for 31 arrests during Meyer’s tenure, but he had issues — “relatively speaking … very minor stuff” — Meyer said in a recent interview with The Columbus Dispatch. Those issues included Hernandez’s one-game suspension for failing a marijuana test; involvement in a bar fight that police records say left a
man injured (no charges were filed); and being questioned as a witness in a shooting. Meyer, who turned 49 Wednesday, answered critics of his oversight while at the school, saying in a recent statement to the Dispatch and the Gainesville Sun: “Relating or blaming these serious charges to the University of Florida, myself or our staff is wrong and irresponsible.” Yet when Meyer was there, he often spoke out about the virtues of his players. “I want to make sure that our players, this team goes down as one of the great teams in Florida football history,” he said the morning after Tebow and the Gators beat Oklahoma 24-14 in south Florida to win the 2008 national title. “It’s one of the greatest groups of young people I’ve ever been around, and I’m starting to get a little bit of experience behind me now, 20-something years, and that’s saying a lot because I’ve been around some great young
guys.” Later in the news conference, Meyer was asked what he had learned about running a program like Florida after stops at Bowling Green and Utah. “It still comes down to getting guys to go as hard as they can, it all comes down to getting guys to graduate, to live right. At the end of the day you want a bunch of players that are committed to the right thing. And it’s not easy to get that. It’s not easy. In 20-something years of coaching, on one hand I can hold the amount of teams that I’ve been around the kids that do it the right way. I’m not talking about a few, I’m talking about the core of your team if you do it the right way, and we’ve got it here at Florida.” Meyer set the bar high for his players and his program. When it failed to meet those standards, he became an easy target for his critics — of which there are now many. “When a coach starts talking about how strong he is
on discipline, and then things go wrong, people get all over him — when actually he’s no different from anybody else,” said former Florida State coach Bobby Bowden, who went 0-5 against Meyer’s Gators and considers his old rival a friend. Meyer certainly didn’t pick up many fans at rival schools during his time at Florida. His Gators feasted on most of the Southeastern Conference and dominated the school’s fiercest rivals. Against Georgia, Tennessee and Florida State, Meyer went 16-2 and showed no mercy in doing so. When Meyer resigned for a second time as Gators coach — but this time for good — after an 8-5 2010 season to address health issues and spend more time with his family, many Florida fans felt abandoned and betrayed by him. He left Gainesville with the program trending down, went to work for ESPN during his season away from coaching, and was introduced as coach of
the Buckeyes in his home state of Ohio less than a year after he quit at Florida. “That comes with the territory,” Bowden told the AP in a phone interview Tuesday. “How many times can you think of a successful coach leaving a school and that school not feeling some animosity toward him?” The Hernandez case has provided an opportunity to re-visit Meyer’s record, and also to note that despite his proclamations, not all was right with the Gators. A case can be made that Meyer was a) lax when it came to discipline, and, b) willing to take on players of questionable character. “Every coach has some skeletons in his closet somewhere,” Bowden said. And right now, Meyer’s is being inspected. ____ Follow Ralph D. Russo at www.Twitter.com/ralphDrussoAP

ELDORA SPEEDWAY will host the 30th annual Kings Royal weekend Friday and Saturday, with the feature Saturday night paying $50,000 to win.
30th annual Kings Royal this weekend at Eldora ROSSBURG — When the checkered flag fell over the inaugural Kings Royal field in 1984, it was Steve Kinser (Bloomington, IN) taking the win and the first driver to climb the legendary Eldora throne wearing the crown as King of Kings. Incredibly, each of the next 28 years found Steve Kinser in the starting field. That’s 29 Kings Royals and 29 starts, an unmatched record. The closest anyone has come to that mark is Kinser’s chief nemesis over the years, Sammy Swindell (Bartlett, TN) with 23 starts. At 59 years of age, Steve Kinser shows no signs of letting up and will be in the hunt for yet another starting berth in the fabled event that will be celebrating its 30th annual running Saturday night (July 13). In those 29 runs, Kinser has amassed an average finish of 7.69, with seven Kings Royal crowns bumping up that number. In addition to the historic 1984 triumph, Kinser prevailed in 1988, 1991, 1997, 2003, 2005 and 2010. He is no stranger to Eldora’s victory lane. His impressive credentials include a total of 35 World of Outlaws Sprint Car wins, six All Star Circuit of Champions checkered flags, a pair of victories in each of the United States Auto Club premier divisions, Sprint Cars and Silver Crown and two unsanctioned $100,000 Historical Big One titles. Family affair Since its inauguration in 1984, Eldora Speedway’s Kings Royal has seen 150 different drivers make it into the coveted starting field. Among that number are multiple family combinations. A total of seven brother acts have taken the green flag. Alphabetically that list includes Bobby/Joey Allen, Dale/ Dave Blaney, James/PJ Chesson, Charlie/Dave Fisher, Dean/Kenny Jacobs, Randy/Steve Kinser and Jeff/Sammy Swindell. Of that group, only the Blaney brothers have each worn the legendary crown as King of Kings. Dave
turned the trick in 1993 and 1995, with Dale on the throne in 2000. The roster also includes a trio of father-son combinations including Steve/Kraig Kinser, Sammy/Jeff Swindell and Randy/ Lucas Wolfe. While, the win list has yet to see a father/son match, Kevin Swindell came the closest to changing that statistic with his fourth place finish in 2006. Going into the 30th annual running of the Kings Royal Saturday Night (July 13), Randy has retired from the driving chores, and Kevin is pursuing a career in NASCAR, leaving the Kinsers as the only active father/son duo. Kraig finished fifth in last year’s run. Hannagan confident For the past several years, the National Racing Alliance (NRA) Sprint Invaders have joined the STP World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Cars to create an all openwheeled doubleheader each night of the historic Kings Royal weekend. Among those thankful is Randy Hannagan (Pittsboro, IN). Hannagan has compiled five NRA wins at Eldora since 2010, with three of those earned over the past two Kings Royal weekends. That trio of checkered flags includes a sweep last season, and a Kings Royal NRA victory in 2011. David Gravel’s (Watertown, CT) Knight Before the Kings Royal NRA win prevented Hannagan from going four for four. Hannagan’s five NRA runs are impressive, but leave a wide gap between himself and Tim Allison (Cridersville, OH) on the NRA all-time win list at Eldora. Allison, who remains active in NRA competition, has compiled 14 wins since the group’s first run in 1994. Hannagan is undaunted with the spread. His optimism is based on the fact that Allison’s number took 13 years and he has raked in five in only three years. Each night of the Kings Royal weekend (July 12 and 13) will include complete racing events for the NRA Sprint Invaders; giv-
ing Hannagan a chance to gain ground. More importantly, it gives the balance the field two opportunities to stop Hannagan. Activities While Friday and Saturday nights of the 30th annual Kings Royal weekend at Eldora Speedway are consumed with all-sprint car doubleheaders on the half-mile clay oval, the “Eldora Experience” expands beyond that. Kicking that schedule off tonight will be the Ms. Eldora Speedway pageant inside the Eldora Ballroom at 5 p.m. Over 15 entrants have signed up for the three-phase contest that will determine three girls to share Eldora’s victory lane over the coming year. At 7:30 p.m. the front stretch of Eldora is converted to an oval for the charity-driven American Red Cross go-kart racing series. Up to 24 local teams compete in the unique competition that includes four-driver teams and green-flag driver changes throughout the racing program. Friday afternoon features the annual corn hole tournament in Eldora’s multipurpose building at 1 p.m. That same building will be utilized for Saturday’s benefit auction for the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum beginning at 2:30 p.m. and the Driver Autograph Session from 4-5 p.m. A complete schedule of activities for the busy weekend can be downloaded the tracks website www.

DENNY SHATTO (right) and another longtime local racer Wayne Watercutter sit atop their car in the early days of their racing careers. Shatto passed away in 2006 and on Saturday night at nearby Shady Bowl Speedway will be the second annual Denny Shatto Memorial late model race, sponsored by Helman Brothers Body Shop in Sidney, where Shatto was employed.
Helman Brothers sponsoring Denny Shatto Memorial race at Shady Bowl 110-lap late model event set for Saturday night at Shady Bowl DEGRAFF —Bruce Helman of Helman Brothers Body Shop in Sidney remembers Dennis Shatto as someone “who lived and breathed racing.” Shatto, who worked at Helman Brothers, passed away in December of 2006, but his passion for racing hasn’t been forgotten. Saturday night at Shady Bowl Speedway in DeGraff, he will be remembered again in the second annual Denny Shatto Memorial. And Helman Brothers is sponsoring the event. “Denny worked for me for a lot of years,” said Helman. “He always lived and breathed racing and his son Kevin is continuing his legacy. And in cooperation with Shady Bowl, they’ve created a Denny Shatto memorial race.” The event will will be capped off by a 110-lap feature that could pay the winner over $3,000 in prize money. It’s advertised as a $2,500-to-win feature, but it will be possible to win $3,050 if every lap is led because leading a lap is worth five bucks. The 110 laps is not a standard race length, but it has some significance. Instead of making it a 100-lapper, 10 laps were added because “10” was the number Shatto favored on his race cars. “The idea was to get a big purse and a lot of drivers,” said Helman. “And Shady Bowl has been doing a really good job attracting people. “I supported Denny when he was racing and I’ve supported his team since that time, with donations and paint work,” he added. “Kevin approached me and wanted a sponsor for this race and I agreed. As the sponsor, I put up a substantial portion of the money. “We want a lot of people to show up and want it to be a popular event every year,” he concluded. “This is the second year, but our first as a sponsor. It looks like the weather is going to be great, so it should be a great night.” The race is for late models. Pit gates will open at 3 p.m., the grandstands at 4 and racing will start at 7. Admission is $14 for adults and $7 for kids 12 to 15.

Race: Camping World RV Sales 301 Track: New Hampshire Motor Speedway Location: Loudon, N.H. Date: Sunday, July 14 TV: TNT (1:00 p.m. EST) Specs: 1.058-mile oval Banking/Turns: 12 degrees Banking/Straightaways: 2 degrees 2012 Winner: Kasey Kahne Crew Chief’s Take: “For a Cup car, New Hampshire is very much a short track even though it’s a one-mile track. It’s a lot like a big Martinsville and offers some of the more exciting racing from the teams’ perspective. Track position is still the order of the day there, and if four or five teams hit on a setup early in practice or unload just right, they’re probably going to be tough to beat. It’s just hard to adjust on the car — probably because it’s only 300-something miles. I think it’s a good track to have in the Chase because it offers something really different.”
fending off Marcos Ambrose for the lead on lap 156. Ambrose made a charge through a gap between Johnson and Kasey Kahne on the backstretch. Johnson cut slightly down on Ambrose, who made contact with Kahne, who spun and slammed the inside wall, ending his night. “He (Johnson) moved down off the wall and ran into me and then I moved to try to get away from him a little bit and just pushed me straight into the 5 (Kahne),” said Ambrose. Kahne’s response? “It’s kind of how these races go. You don’t have a lot of control over some of the things that happen here.”
Danica Patrick’s solid run ended 2 OOPS with a wrecked race car after a huge
last-lap crash while crossing the startfinish line. Patrick appeared to make contact with David Gilliland, setting off a massive wreck. “It definitely wasn’t what I was trying to do at all,” Patrick said. “I was just following the No. 88 (Earnhardt). So, if that’s what happened, then I definitely apologize. I lost spots doing it.” She finished 14th.

IT GET ANY WORSE? Denny 3 CAN Hamlin took another hard hit on Saturday night. Having already missed four races this season with a compression fracture in his lower back, Hamlin made hard contact with the tri-oval wall in Daytona — devoid of SAFER barrier — that eliminated him from competition. The incident also ruined the evening of AJ Allmendinger, Dave Blaney, Jeff Gordon and Matt Kenseth. Hamlin was unhurt, but finished 36th.

Countering the Competition Jimmie Johnson dominates in Daytona, records fourth win of 2013
By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor
Jimmie Johnson gave one away in Kentucky. The result of getting beat on a late restart and subsequently spinning out left the driver who dominated the Quaker State 400 just over a week ago ninth in that event’s final tally. It also handed the win to Matt Kenseth, who just so happened to do the snookering that got Johnson in trouble. It was Kenseth’s series-leading fourth win of the season, proving, for all intents and purposes, that he is Johnson’s main competition for the title. The mark of any great competitor, though, is how he or she handles adversity. And for the second time this season, Johnson rebounded from self-inflicted mistakes one week to rise to the pinnacle the next. Johnson and his No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports team put on a clinic Saturday night, leading 94 laps and holding off all comers en route to a dominating win in the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway. The parrying win was Johnson’s fourth of the season, tying him with Kenseth
for most on tour and, most important, giving the five-time champion more bonus points for NASCAR’s Chase for the Championship. He also increased his lead in the point standings to 49 over second-place Clint Bowyer — a lead he has held for 16 of 18 races this year. Yes, it seems any time Kenseth, Kevin Harvick or Kyle Busch decide to make a show out of the season-long points battle, Johnson counters, reminding everyone who the true team to beat is. And that, more than any one triumph, is how Johnson gauges his team’s performance. “I think what we’ve done over the course of the year — leading the points like we have with a big margin — probably sends the biggest message that we’re buttoned up and in a position to win a sixth championship,” Johnson said following his 64th career Sprint Cup Series victory. “From a laps-led standpoint, this has to be the most dominant performance we’ve had on a plate track,” Johnson continued, focusing on the here-and-now. “Truthfully, I think this Gen-6 car and the style of drafting required to be successful in this car fits my style
n When asked his thoughts on the possibility of the No. 3 car returning to Cup competition next year, Dale Earnhardt Jr. was supportive. “I think it will be great,” Earnhardt said at Daytona. “It was an iconic number for my father and it means a lot to a lot of his fans. This sport doesn’t really retire numbers and all the numbers have history tied to them for several different reasons. The No. 3 is no different.” Car owner Richard Childress, who “owns” the rights to the number, is expected to campaign it again next season when his grandson, Austin Dillon, makes the jump to Sprint Cup competition. It will mark the first time since Dale Earnhardt Sr.’s death in the 2001 Daytona 500 that the number will have been used in NASCAR’s premier series. Dale Earnhardt Jr. “I’m OK with it,” Earnhardt Jr. continued. “I know that might not be the way a lot of people feel or some people feel, but I’m sure it’s the minority that feels that way. I think that a lot of people will be telling Austin positive things about it.”
a lot more (than the Car of Tomorrow).” Indeed it does, as Johnson became the first driver in 31 years to sweep Daytona’s 500-miler in February and July’s 400-mile event. “This style of racing — track position being as important as it is and racing every lap — I don’t know if it’s something with the air in the draft that works better for me, or just being in the rhythm and racing so hard every lap that it makes a big difference.” Johnson first assumed the lead on lap 31 of the 160-lap affair (that was extended to 161 laps due to a green-white-checker finish), but showed his muscle late, leading 55 of the final 57 laps. Tony Stewart and Kevin Harvick, who finished second and third, respectively, made a valiant charge on the No. 48, but the green-white-checker stalled any momentum they had. “(Johnson) definitely was strong on restarts,” Stewart said. “Being the leader helps in that, but he’s definitely getting good jumps on the restart and wasn’t doing anything tricky or fancy, he just was getting really good restarts all day and stuck with it.”
“We all know the history of it, what Dale did with it, and (grandsons Austin and Ty Dillon) respect it,” Childress said in late June. “If it did come back with one of those two young men, Dale Earnhardt would be smiling down and he would be very pleased to see it back on the racetrack. “Who knows what we’ll see come the Daytona 500 in February?” n Nine-time Grammy Award winner Sheryl Crow dropped some car knowledge on the media in Daytona. In attendance to perform a pre-race concert at the Coke Zero 400, Crow admitted to being a gearhead. “I have a 1964 Corvette and I love it,” Crow said. “I grew up on motocross bikes. My first car was a Z28 with glasspacks and headers and cherry bombs, the whole thing.” ASP, Inc.

Race: American Ethanol 250 Track: Iowa Speedway Location: Newton, Iowa Date: Saturday, July 13 TV: SPEED (8:30 p.m. EST) 2012 Winner: Ryan Blaney
Classic Moments New Hampshire Motor Speedway If Joey Logano has an affinity for rain, you can’t blame him. After all, it was rain — and a little luck — that played the biggest role in helping the young driver score NASCAR Sprint Cup Series career victory No. 1 in the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in June 2009. With the skies growing darker and looming showers threatening to end the race early, crew chief Greg Zipadelli made the gutsy call to leave Logano on the track in the final laps, at the risk of running out of fuel. When Ryan Newman hit pit road, it handed the lead to Logano, who was being coached to save fuel. The move paid off, as the Connecticut native was still out front when rain halted the proceedings for good on lap 273 of the scheduled 301. Logano became the youngest winner in Sprint Cup Series history at 19 years, 1 month, 4 days — more than a year sooner than Kyle Busch, who went to Victory Lane at Fontana in 2005 at 20 years, 4 months, 2 days.
Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Are you seriously willing to bet against Jimmie Johnson and the 48 team at any track these days? Pretty Solid Pick: It’s been an uphill climb for Denny Hamlin this season. If he’s got a win in him, it should come in Loudon, where he averages a circuitbest 7.9-place finish. Good Sleeper Pick: Ryan Newman comes to play in New Hampshire, as his three wins will atest. Runs on Seven Cylinders: Carl Edwards owns only three top 10s in 17 NHMS starts. Insider Tip: New Hampshire is the type of track where a couple teams unload with a great setup and are tough to beat over the course of the weekend. Pay close attention to Friday and Saturday test sessions.

Is it time for NASCAR to hold mid-week races? Jenna Fryer
AP Auto Racing Writer
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Ahhh, the dog days of summer — and those nights when there’s nothing exciting on television. Four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon believes auto racing could fill that void. Gordon grew up in the “Thursday Night Thunder” era when he raced at tracks that hosted USAC races across the country that were televised on ESPN2. NASCAR doesn’t venture into that territory with the elite Sprint Cup Series, but the addition of Eldora Speedway to the Truck Series will mark three midweek races. The trucks ran on a Thursday night at Kentucky in June, are scheduled to run Wednesday, July 24, at Eldora and Wednesday, Aug. 21, at Bristol. Gordon thinks maybe it’s time for other series to try
a midweek date. “I think when ‘Monday Night Football’ ends, we should start ‘Monday Night Racing,’” Gordon said. “But that’s just me. Of course I came from ‘Thursday Night Thunder,’ and ‘Thursday Night Thunder’ was ridiculously successful back in the day.” Alas, Gordon says NASCAR officials have been cold to the idea. “It seems like every time I talk to NASCAR about doing a weekly race or one midweek, they say ‘Oh well if you do it on this day, you won’t get as many people coming to the track, so the track suffers, and if you do it on this day, then maybe the track does well but then the people at home won’t watch it because of this’, so it always seems to be some kind of obstacle,” he said. “I am not saying we need to do it every week, but if we could find the right week in the schedule and mix it up, make it special, and make it make sense for
the fans at home as well as the ones that could attend, then I think it would be awesome.” There was a buzz last weekend at Daytona about returning the night race back to its traditional early morning start, when teams were at the track for breakfast and on the beach by lunch. But Gordon believes running the race on July 4, regardless of what day it falls during the week, is a better solution and could start the midweek trend. “I think July 4th might make sense because everybody is off on that day and looking for something to do,” he said. “Of course, we are not off, but I think that is why it could work.” ————— POSITIVE POCONO: For years, about the only thing in NASCAR as popular as Dale Earnhardt Jr. was bashing Pocono Raceway. The track wasn’t safe. The races were too long. The facility was outdated.
On and on it went. But, slowly, the track has won over Sprint Cup drivers with a series of upgrades to the track — everything from additional SAFER barriers to a repave of the 2½-mile surface — that left them raving about the new look the last two years. Of course, slicing the two Cup races from 500 to 400 miles in 2012 certainly helped. Pocono Raceway CEO and president Brandon Igdalsky has led the push for the overdue makeover. “I got tired of people talking bad about us, plain and simple,” he said. “If you have drivers and people in the industry that aren’t talking positive, that translates to what the fans hear and how they react. Last year, drivers started talking about how great things here are now. It changes the mentality of the fans.” Igdalsky’s latest gamble appears to have paid off: He brought the IndyCar
Series back to Pocono after a 24-year absence and the first race last Sunday was considered a success. The grandstands weren’t completely full, but the estimated crowd of 30,000 did exceed most expectations. Unlike the NASCAR stars, IndyCar drivers didn’t have to warm up to Pocono. They loved it from the first test session. “I love this place. Pocono, the fans, just everyone has been fantastic,” race winner Scott Dixon said. “It’s great to be back.” There’s more to come. Igdalsky said he wanted to “dress up” Pocono by improving everything from the seats, traffic patterns and adding permanent or temporary videoboards to enhance the fan experience. The fans did clog the single-lane roads entering the track and many of them complained about heavy traffic on social media. Igdalsky said he would meet with state and local officials about the issue and
made a “solemn promise” to fix the traffic woes. Of course, it’s better than the alternative — fans not showing up at all. With at least two more years of IndyCar racing at Pocono on the schedule, there’s time to fix everything. Igdalsky has proved in a short time he’s eager to please. “It makes me feel awesome, but it’s not about how I feel,” he said. “It’s about the perception of the facility. We are a great facility for motor sports in America. Are we the best? No. Do I want to be the best? Hell no. It would cost us a fortune. I don’t want to be the best. But I don’t want to be at the bottom of the barrel. I’m happy about being at the top of the middle.” ————— DRIVER STANDINGS IndyCar is standing pat. The open-wheel series is set to introduce standing starts for this weekend’s doubleheader in Toronto.

H.N. ANSWER: Happy birthday. Getting regular exercise is one of the best ways to keep your heart healthy. But the heart isn’t like other muscles. Most muscles get big when they are regularly exercised, but the heart has only minimal change in size. An enlarged heart almost always is a diseased heart. The heart rate in a trained athlete usually is low. Some professional and competitive amateur athletes have heart rates in the 40s or even 30s. Those levels in a non-athlete might lead to a pacemaker. Blood pressure also tends to drop in athletes, as much as five to 15 points. Many of these changes aren’t what we would expect. Your doctor needs to know that you are an athlete in order to interpret your heart and pulse properly. DEAR DR. ROACH: I am wondering how to improve my kidney function. Lately, when I have blood work done, the doctors say it is getting worse. I have an appointment with a kidney specialist. I am 76 years old. — B.F. ANSWER: Kidney function naturally declines somewhat
with age, but many conditions can cause a decrease in kidney function. High blood pressure and diabetes probably are the two most common, but medications can have an effect as well. I am sure the kidney specialist will carefully look over any medications you may be taking. Some medicines need to be adjusted for kidney function; others help preserve it. Managing any existing conditions often is the first step in preserving kidney function, since once it is gone, it seldom comes back. Talk to your kidney specialist about your diet; for many cases, a low-protein diet can prevent kidney function from worsening. Also, if your kidney function is already quite low, you may need to limit potassium from food.

If it was a way to avoid experiencing the pain of the loss of the baby, it’s possible that with counseling the two of you can get beyond this. I suggest you ask to be included in one or more of the counseling sessions. If he agrees, at least you will know he is seeing a therapist. If not, you will have to decide whether you have had enough loss in one year to last you a lifetime, and whether you still have a future together.

July 11, 1913 Sidney autoists who were out to attend the band concert on the square last evening, were treated to a commendable innovation, when they were requested by the police to run their cars back toward the curb and at an angle of 45 degrees. This street rule has been enforced in the larger cities for quite a while, but it is practically new in Sidney. The procedure has several advantages – first and foremost, as a precautionary measure against blockading the streets and hindering the passage of street cars and other vehicles or of the fire trucks in case of a fire.

Newborn gorilla dies at North Carolina Zoo ASHEBORO, N.C. (AP) — Officials at the North Carolina Zoo say a baby gorilla born there last weekend has died. Zoo officials confirmed that the gorilla died early Wednesday morning. A statement on the zoo’s webpage says while the cause of death isn’t known, zoo staff believes Acacia may have inadvertently rolled over on the infant in her sleep. The baby’s death was discovered during a routine check by a staff member. The baby was still in its mother’s arms. The statement said the unnamed male was delivered by caesarean section on Sunday.

Rescued bear finds new home in California Will E. Sanders
Civitas Media wsanders@civitasmedia.com
COVINGTON — Maddie, a fully-grown, 12-year-old female brown bear, has resided in two connected corn cribs at a rural Covington farm for the last seven years under the care of her owner, Kimberly Wymer. On Tuesday Maddie’s life of confinement came to an end. Officials with a California animal sanctuary coaxed the 325 pound bear from her rusted corn crib home and in to a transport cage where she will make a crosscountry trek to her new home. And that new home is Lions Tigers & Bears, a wild animal sanctuary and rescue facility in Alpine, Calif., where she will begin her new life of freedom in a new 5-acre habitat. The sanctuary itself contains 55 rescued animals and 17 different species, said Bobbi Brink, founder and director of Lions Tigers & Bears. Brink said she was happy when Wymer reached out to her and her organization, and said she was glad that Wymer decided to do the right thing for the interests of Maddie. “She (Wymer) knows she is doing the right thing for this bear,” Wymer said. “And Maddie knows it, too. Maddie knows she is going to get a good home. It will be nice to get this bear out of her small cage and into a habitat.” Wymer, 47, said she got Maddie

from a friend who had the bear for three years, but then needed to get rid of it. Wymer said that had she not stepped in to take care of the bear from her friend that Maddie was going to be sold for $125 to a hunting lodge for a canned hunt. She said she would have given Maddie a new home years ago if she would have been aware of the Lions Tigers & Bears organization. Nevertheless, Wymer said Maddie’s new relocation is bittersweet because she and the bear have developed an obvious bond over the course of the last seven
years. “She is not a cute and cuddly bear,” Wymer said. “I mean, she is a bear. She will play with me, play paddy-cake with me one minute and the next minute she will try to bite you. … She is a wild animal who should not be kept in two corn cribs. She should be allowed to be more of a bear.” Wymer said when Brink and her crew pulled into the gravel driveway of the rural Covington farmhouse where Maddie has been kept, located at 6485 Mulberry Grove-Rakestraw Road, that she started to cry uncontrollably.

After about a half hour Maddie eventually made her way into her transport cage as Wymer tried coaxing her, at times holding back her emotions. “You can do it,” Wymer said to the bear. “That’s my girl. Come on.” “It’s like giving away a kid,” said Wymer’s husband, Duncan, 35, standing behind his wife as Maddie slowly entered the cage as the door shut behind her. On Jan. 1, a new state law goes into effect that makes private exotic ownership of animals illegal, which is why some owners, like Wymer, are voluntarily, and proactively,

PIQUA — Authorities rescued a woman and her adult son from a rural Piqua home early Monday morning after the woman’s husband attempted to break into their residence, lit a garage on fire and blasted a shotgun into the air several times — before taking his own life. Miami County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Steve Lord said the victim of the apparent suicide was identified as David A. Gerlach, 48, who lived at the residence and was found lifeless in the backyard of the home, which is located at 9881 County Road 25A, just north of Piqua. According to Lord, authorities were initially called to the home at approximately 2:30 a.m. on what was first described as a domestic-related incident, but once law enforcement arrived they noticed a detached garage was on fire. While detached, the garage was in close proximity to the home and a large propane tank, Lord said. Upon arriving at the scene deputies and other emergency first responders assisted a 43-year-old woman and her 21-year-old son from a window in a bedroom as Gerlach fired a shotgun several times in proximity to the home

Members of the Piqua and Fletcher fire departments arrived at the scene and were initially told to wait on the road since the suspect was armed with and firing a shotgun. After the man’s apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, firefighters extinguished the garage, which was a complete loss, and a portion of the porch that was located on the house, according to the Piqua Fire Department. Aside from Gerlach, no other injuries were reported. “For the family, this is a terrible tragedy that has befallen them,” Lord said. “However, we are thankful that no other persons were hurt based on the fire and its proximity to a propane tank. … We’re happy nobody else was hurt, but also we don’t want to discount that this family has been devastated by this.” Damages from the fire, including both property and contents, were set at a combined $24,600, fire officials said.

More negotiations after student loan plan fails in Senate Philip Elliott
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — The defeat of a student loan bill in the Senate on Wednesday clears the way for fresh negotiations to restore lower rates, but lawmakers are racing the clock before millions of students return to campus next month to find borrowing terms twice as high as when school let out. Republicans and a few Democrats blocked a White House-backed proposal that would have restored 3.4 percent interest rates on subsidized Stafford loans for one more year. The failed stopgap measure was designed to give lawmakers time to take up comprehensive college affordability legislation and dodge 6.8 percent interest rates on new loans. Without congressional action in the coming weeks, the increase could mean an extra $2,600 for an average student returning to campus this fall, according to Congress’ Joint Economic Committee. “Let’s just extend this for one year. I don’t think that’s too much to ask,” said Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa, chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. It proved too much for a bipartisan group of lawmakers, led by Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va. They favored a compromise now and joined with Republicans in using a procedural roadblock to stop the one-year patch. “This plan merely kicks the can down the road for 12 more months,” said Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., who worked with Manchin and Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, on a deal that linked interest rates to financial markets. “We’re going to vote on a 3.4 percent extension, kicking the can down the road and not finding a solution,” The Senate vote was 51-49, nine votes short of the 60 votes needed to move forward. The Republican-favored plan that Manchin helped to write was not considered for a vote in the Democratic-controlled Senate. Without serious negotiations between the parties and without an agreement within a fractured Democratic caucus, students would face higher costs when they begin repaying their loans after graduation. Lawmakers pledged to return to negotiations to avert that, and aides were gauging what was possible given the narrow window before Congress breaks again for the August recess. “Today our nation’s students once again wait in vain for relief,” said Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M. “They expected more of us and I share their disappointment.” “Today, we failed. And our nation’s students pay the cost of that failure,” he added after the vote. The failure to win a one-year approval, combined with little interest in such a deal in the Republicanled House, meant that unless Congress tries again, students could be borrowing money for fall courses at a rate leaders in both parties called unacceptably high. Officials said Wednesday’s vote would not be the final word on student loans and that it would nudge members from both parties back to the negotiating table. Even those who favored an extension said they were not inflexible. Harkin, for instance, said he was not wedded to 3.4 percent interest rates forever and was open to a different approach, as long as profits from student lending weren’t used as a way to pay down the nation’s deficit. A Harkin ally said compromise is possible if Republicans are willing to yield as well.
Glitch may limit some penalties for smokers Ricardo AlonsoZaldivar The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — They huddle outside office buildings and they can’t satisfy their nicotine cravings by lighting up on planes and trains, but now smokers could be getting a break from an unlikely source. A glitch involving President Barack Obama’s health care law means smokers may get at least some relief next year from tobacco-use penalties that could have made their premiums unaffordable. In yet another health care overhaul delay, the administration has quietly notified insurers that a computer system problem will limit penalties that the law says the companies may charge smokers. A fix will take at least a year. Older smokers are more likely to benefit from the glitch, experts say. But depending on how insurers respond to it, it’s also possible that younger smokers could wind up facing higher penalties than they otherwise would have. Some see an emerg-
ing pattern of last-minute switches and delays as the administration scrambles to prepare the Oct. 1 launch of new health insurance markets for people who don’t have job-based insurance. Last week, the White House unexpectedly announced a oneyear postponement of a major provision in the law that requires larger employers to offer coverage or face fines. The smokers’ glitch is “a temporary circumstance that in no way impacts our ability to open the marketplaces on Oct. 1,” Health and Human Services spokeswoman Joanne Peters said in a statement. A June 28 HHS document couched the problem in technical language: “Because of a system limitation … the system currently cannot process a premium for a 65-year-old smoker that is … more than three times the premium of a 21-year-old smoker,” the industry guidance said. If an insurer tries to charge more, “the submission of the (insurer) will be rejected by the system,” it added.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE
For Friday, July 12, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be open to new ways of improving your health today because this is possible. This could be due to a suggestion from someone else or an idea that occurs to you. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might see new approaches to dealing more successfully with children, or a better way to deal with a romantic partner. Some will also see ways to improve their sports technique. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a good day to recycle, sell or toss anything you don't need at home. Be realistic and ruthless. Get rid of what you no longer use. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) In discussions with others today, you will be convincing. (That's why this is a strong day for those of you in sales, marketing, teaching and acting.) LEO (July 23 to Aug.22) You can dream up solid, moneymaking ideas today. You might also see new uses and applications for something you already own. Clever you! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Take a look in the mirror today to see how you can improve your appearance and create a better impression on your world. First impressions count a lot in society. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Because old issues with authority figures are back in your lap again, you might come up with some behind-thescenes solutions today. This is a good day for research. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A conversation with a female acquaintance will be impacting and memorable. You also might attract someone very powerful to you today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Discussions with a female authority figure, perhaps about inheritances, taxes and debt from the past, will be significant today. You intend to stand your ground. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) In discussions with others today, someone might shift your point of view about politics, religion or racial issues. Something will likely happen that makes you rethink things for the better. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You're in a good frame of mind for important discussions about inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt. You will defend your best interests and be persuasive about it. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Today you might see ways to improve a relationship or even improve your approach to a close friendship. Conversely, someone might make a suggestion along these lines to you. Be open to this. YOU BORN TODAY You are persuasive and convincing, which is why others admire you and follow you. You know how to use humor to beguile people. You set high standards for yourself; and you know how to get the best out of others. You are competent in many areas. In the year ahead, you will have a chance to study or learn something valuable. Grab it. Birthdate of: Julius Caesar, Roman ruler/general; Topher Grace, actor; Cheryl Ladd, actress.
