Shelby County Humane Society moves to reorganize BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@civitasmedia.com

INSIDE TODAY
Sidney, Ohio
The Shelby County Humane Society (SCHS) has taken the first steps to reorganize and will host an informational meeting for the public Saturday at 10:30 a.m. in the American Legion hall, 1265 Fourth Ave. Interim President Julie Henman, of Sidney, hopes that interested people will attend, become members and volunteer to help the animals of Shelby County. The organization all but dissolved in October when its then president, Mike Lescowitch, and treasurer, Angela Bray, were indicted for misuse of funds following an investigation by the Shelby County sheriff. At that time, the Shelby County Common Pleas Court froze SCHS cash assets and the Sheriff’s Office confiscated coin banks the organization had used during an earlier fund drive. Lescowitch and Bray eventually pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges.
SCHS retained attorney Jeff Holland, of Holland & Muirden, a law firm with offices in Sharon City and Akron. Holland successfully filed motions with the court for the return of assets to SCHS and he has also filed applications with the Internal Revenue Service to renew the organization’s nonprofit status. It is legal for the SCHS to operate without the status, but until the status is renewed, anyone donating to SCHS cannot claim the donation on his income taxes as a tax-exempt donation. “Hopefully, we’ll get a lot of response from (the people of) the county,” Henman said. The group has elected interim officers, but Henman hopes that someone with an accounting background will agree to serve as treasurer. “That would be awesome,” she said. There are currently 10 members. The other interim officers are Allen Shivedecker, vice president; Stephanie Henman, treasurer/secretary; Ron Hixenbaugh, trustee/investigator; Karen Yates, trustee; and Sandra Lescowitch,
humane agent. According to the Ohio Revised Code, humane agents must pass a training course and be sworn in by a probate court judge. Sandra was sworn in by Judge Norman Smith in October 2004. “It’s time to get going again,” Henman said about why efforts are underway now to become active. Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart would not comment on whether there were avenues open for cooperation between the SCHS and the animal shelter, which is under his domain. “There’s a trust factor in this and it would seem to me a lot of that is gone,” he told the Daily News recently. “I don’t know who’s in charge. I think I want to make an evaluation based on that.” At about the same time the humane society was under investigation, a new nonprofit, the Shelby County Animal Rescue Foundation (SCARF), was established. Its mission is to raise money to See HUMANE/Page 3
Rescued women want time to heal BY JOHN COYNE Associated Press CLEVELAND (AP) — The three women allegedly imprisoned and sexually abused for years inside a padlocked Cleveland house asked for privacy Sunday, saying through an attorney that while they are grateful for overwhelming support, they also need time to heal. Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight remain in seclusion, releasing their first statements since they were found May 6 when Berry escaped and told a 911 dispatcher, “I’m free now.” They thanked law enforcement and said they were grateful for the support of family and the community. “I am so happy to be home, and I want to thank everybody for all your prayers,” DeJesus said in a statement read by an attorney. “I just want time now to be with my family.” The women, now in their 20s and 30s, vanished separately between 2002 and 2004. At the time, they were 14, 16 and 20 years old. Investigators say they spent the last nine years or more inside the home of Ariel Castro where they were repeatedly raped and only allowed outside a handful of times. Castro, 52, is being held on $8 million bond. The former school bus driver was charged with four counts of kidnapping and three counts of rape. Prosecutors said last week they may seek aggravated murder charges — punishable by death — for allegedly impregnating one of his captives See WOMEN/Page 8

Levy committee explains upcoming income tax levy Editor’s note: In preparation for the August special election, the Sidney Daily News, in conjunction with the Sidney City Schools levy committee, will be publishing a question of the week to inform voters about the 1 percent income tax levy. What is the Sidney City Schools income tax levy? The levy on the Aug. 6 ballot is a 1 percent traditional income tax for five years that will replace the expiring 9.9-mill emergency property tax levy and the 0.8-mill permanent improvement levy (PI) that expired in 2008. The total amount of money estimated to be collected by the 1 percent income tax levy
($4,773,662) will be slightly less ($25,000) than the amount being collected by the 9.9mill levy ($4,549,248) and was collected by the 0.8-mill PI levy ($250,000). The PI was designated for major repairs of our buildings and equipment, and since its expiration in 2008, this expense must be covered from general funds. A small portion of the income tax will be used to fund these major repairs.
Mainstream Renewables would say just about anything to avoid paying their fair share of taxes. Mainstream hopes to litter Shelby County with 100 enormous wind turbines - but needs us to pay for it - twice! According to President Obama’s staff, taxpayers put up 2/3 of the development dollars for some wind projects.
But in the long run, wind plants cause our electricity rates to skyrocket - using our own tax dollars! Meanwhile, developers pocket huge sums of money and sprinkle a few dollars back to schools, townships and local land owners willing to be part of their “green scheme.” Our County Commissioners can demand Mainstream pay their fair share of taxes by voting “NO” on any eventual PILOT tax abatement proposal.
Tell our Commissioners: “We aren’t falling for the shell game. Wind energy developers must pay all their taxes just like the rest of us!” 40053226

COLUMBUS – Secretary of State Jon Husted has issued Directive 2013-10, providing Ohio’s boards of election with guidance on conducting general maintenance of the state’s voter rolls as required under federal law. To improve the process for voters, Husted announced that, for the first time, voters receiving a notice to update their voting address as part of this process will be able to do so online. “Providing Ohioans with more convenient ways to update their voting information will help to ensure the state’s voter rolls are more accurate and current,” Husted said. “Up-to-date voter rolls save time, money and improve the integrity of the election.” Under the National Voter Registration Act, passed in 1993, states are required to compare their voter rolls against the National Change of Address (NCOA) database compiled by the U.S. Postal Service every two years. Matches identify voters who may have moved since the records were last compared in 2011, and may need to update their voter registration information. Once a list is compiled, boards
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The Chronicle of Higher Education has released its annual ranking of what public college presidents make. Survey results released Sunday show four chief executives earned more than $1 million last year. Topping the list was ex-Penn State President Graham Spanier. He shot to the No. 1 spot when he was forced out in November 2011 over his handling of the sex abuse scandal involving former de-
CITY
fensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. Spanier received $2.9 million in 201112, including $1.2 million in severance pay and $1.2 million in deferred compensation. The median compensation for public college presidents including pay, benefits and bonuses was $441,000. Ohio State University President E. Gordon Gee had the highest base salary: $830,000. That’s more than double the median base salary of $374,000.

2012, the Online Change of Address system allows Ohio’s registered voters to update their voting address online. In order to update an address online, individuals must already be registered to vote and provide four identification security keys that exactly match what’s in Ohio’s Statewide Voter Registration Database, including: their last name, Ohio driver’s license number, the last four digits of their Social Security number and their date of birth. The Online Change of Address tool, coupled with improved data sharing with the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, has enabled the secretary of state’s office to update approximately 300,000 voter addresses to date. After completing the online process, the voter’s county board of elections will send out a notice providing the voter with their new polling place and precinct information for future elections. To avoid being required to cast a provisional ballot due to having an outdated address on file, voters are reminded that all updates to their registration information must be completed no later than 30 days prior to Election Day.

of elections will send each voter a confirmation notice to the address on file in the NCOA database. Historically, voters have only had the option of updating their address by filing out and returning confirmation cards by mail. This year, Husted is requiring boards of elections to use a new form that includes a web address to allow voters to go online to update their voting address. The ability for voters to update their voting address online is possible following last year’s successful launch of the Online Change of Address system, which is part of Husted’s comprehensive online voter resource tool — MyOhioVote.com. It is also important to note that voters who have not participated in an election cycle, but also have not moved, will be included in the mailing to confirm that they are still registered. Voters in this category will need to complete the paper form provided and return it by mail to their county board of elections. Former residents who have moved out of the state of Ohio may return the confirmation notice by mail to cancel their Ohio voter registration. Launched in August

The Miami and Erie Canal towpath is used by many people for recreation, and the maintenance of the towpath and canal is shared by several groups. These people include counties, towns and cities along the way. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) and its volunteers are spending hundreds of hours keeping the towpath cleared of fallen trees, picking up litter, and filling the holes left by groundhogs. Volunteers can regularly be seen walking and in their four-wheel vehicles going up and down the canal between Fort Loramie and Delphos. The Buckeye Trail Association (BTA) is another group that helps with the maintenance of the trail on the towpath. The BTA is a nonprofit volunteer organization that provides a 1,440-plus-mile trail that circles Ohio, reaching into every corner of the state. The Miami and Erie Canal towpath from the Dayton area to Defiance provides much of the trail that the Buckeye Trail uses in the western part of the state. MECCA has partnered with the ODNR and BTA to provide a trail rich in history. This includes the six locks of Lockington, the Loramie Reservoir (Lake Loramie), Lock One North in New Bremen, 40 Acre Pond, and Deep Cut. The Buckeye Trail is identified by blue blazes, 2-by-6-inch rectangles on trees or poles. If you follow the blazes you will circle the state of Ohio and eventually find yourself back where you started. There are maps available on the BTA website to assist with your journey, (www.buckeyetrail.org/ onlinestore-maps-nonmem.html). Recently there have been a couple of dedicated volunteers for the BTA who have been working to paint the blue blazes from Lockington to Delphos. They have been working to provide hikers of the BTA and the Miami and Erie Canal clear communication of where to go to stay on the Buckeye Trail.
support the Shelby County Animal Shelter. “I don’t know if SCARF will help us out as they help the animal shelter or not,” Henman said. “I think they could be a huge asset. Hopefully, we can work with animal shelter the again.” Eric Barr, SCARF president, does not think that there will be any competition between the two groups. “I wish them the best of luck so they can help the animals,” he said. “Our main goal is to help the animal shelter. We don’t do a lot of the functions a humane society does. We’re really different organizations altogether.” Humane societies are also different from county-run animal shelters as are humane agents from dog wardens. Lenhart noted that there has been a recent movement throughout the state to move oversight of dog wardens to sheriff ’s offices. There are 10 counties, Shelby among them, which have done so. By state law, humane agents must be approved by humane societies before they are sworn in by judges. Dog wardens are county employees, responsible for selling dog licenses and, in some cases, managing facilities and pet adoptions or spay/neuter programs. It is humane agents who investigate animal abuse allegations, which are not limited to pets but include farm and wild animals, as well.
From Page 1
management has steadied, they said. “The sheriff ’s department handles only dogs,” said Andy Appelfeller, a Marion County commissioner. “The humane society handles everything else.”
Authority Paul Cunningham, the administrator of Washington County, said only the authority for the dog warden went to the sheriff ’s office. The Humane Society of the Mid-Ohio Valley operates the animal shelter, which is supported by annual funding in the amount of $48,000 from county coffers. The county also pays the humane society $12,000 per year to manage a spay-and-neuter program. The county’s humane agent is an employee of the humane society. The dog warden retrieves stray dogs and enforces dog-tag laws. The two people work together well, Cunningham said. In Preble County, both the county and the humane society operate facilities. “The sheriff investigates complaints of animal cruelty,” said
County Clerk Connie Crowell. “The sheriff takes dogs to the humane society for adoptions.” She said there has been no humane agent in Preble County for years. “We’d be billed for 40 percent of that person’s time,” she said. Here, the Shelby County budget has called for $25 per month to be paid to a humane agent when invoices are presented.
No invoices Commissioner Julie Ehemann said that no invoices have been filed for several years. Henman acknowledged that that was the case. “For the county to pay, we have to file paperwork with the county. It compensates a humane officer for making a run,” she said. In Fayette County, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners Tony Anderson said that if a complaint of animal cruelty is filed, it’s the humane agent who gets the call. He noted that the local humane society and the sheriff ’s office have maintained a cordial relationship. It’s the county that operates the animal shelter.
“The humane society has a small facility where they collect and neuter cats,” Anderson said. “It’s been a successful transition (to the sheriff ’s office managing the animal shelter). We adopted out 93 percent of animals.”
‘No-kill’ Henman stressed that the SCHS is a nokill organization, “unless the vets have determined the animals can’t be saved. The humane society doesn’t own a building, so we need people willing to foster animals in their homes and most of the time nurse them back to health. We help the injured and abused animals of Shelby County. The animal shelter handles the strays in the county and pets surrendered by their owners. The humane society has all the animals we put up for adoption spayed or neutered.” ”Our goal is to reorganize and get new members and volunteers,” she added. “We hope to establish a working relationship with the animal shelter, SCARF and all the local law enforcement agencies.”

DELTA — Abram James Brown, age 6 of months, Delta, entered into the loving arms of Jesus Saturday, May 11, 2013. He was born at Mott’s Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor, Mich., on Nov. 8, 2012, to Chris and Sara (Osborne) Brown. In his early days of life, Abram was diagnosed with galactosialidosis, a rare genetic disorder. His parents were grateful for the quality time they were able to spend with Abram at home during his last few months of life. In addition to his parents, Abram is also survived by grandparents, Jon and Suzy Osborne, of Wauseon, and Thomas and Cindy Brown, of Minster; great-grandparents, Kay Falor, of Delta, and George and Mary Brown, of Minster; aunt, Allison and Andrew Muntz; and uncles, Sean Osborne, Andy Brown and Tim Brown. He was preceded in death by great-grandparents, Ray Falor, James and Annabelle Osborne, and Mike and

Did You Know? People eat cicadas: People eat them. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it or saute it. There are cicada kabobs, cicada creole, cicada gumbo, panfried, deep fried and stir fried cicadas. There are pineapple cicada, lemon cicada, coconut cicada, pepper cicada, cicada soup, cicada stew, cicada salad, cicada and potatoes, cicada burgers and cicada sandwiches.
Cicadas
Cicadas are probably best known for their buzzing and clicking noises, which can be amplified by multitudes of insects into an overpowering hum. Males produce this species-specific noise with vibrating membranes on their abdomens. The sounds vary widely and some species are more musical than others. Though cicada noises may sound alike to humans, the insects use different calls to express alarm or attract mates. Cicadas are also famous for their penchant for disappearing entirely for many years, only to reappear in force at a regular interval. There are some 3,000 cicada species, but only some share this behavior (the 17-year cicada is an example). Others are called annuals because, although individuals have multi-year lifecycles, some adults appear every year. The dog day cicada, for example, emerges each year in midsummer. When young cicada nymphs hatch from their eggs, they dig themselves into the ground to suck the liquids of plant roots. They spend several early life stages in these underground burrows before surfacing as adults. The process varies in length but often takes a number of years.

There are more than 1,500 species of cicada, but one of the best known is the periodical cicada that emerges from the ground every 17 years.
Periodical cicadas do not create destructive plagues, as some locusts do, though tens or hundreds of thousands of insects may crowd into a single acre. Large swarms can overwhelm and damage young trees by feeding and laying eggs, but older trees usually escape without serious damage. Cicadas are members of the order
Cicada Facts
Eye Color: Most 17-year cicadas have red eyes, but they can also have white, gray, blue , yellow, brown or multi-colored eyes.
Cicadas have five eyes: Cicadas have two, obvious, large, compound eyes, and three ocelli. Ocelli are three jewel-like eyes situated between the two main, compound eyes of a cicada. We believe ocelli are used to detect light and darkness. Ocelli means little eyes in Latin.

Homoptera and are physically distinguished by their stout bodies, broad heads, clear-membrane wings and large compound eyes. The insect's amazing lifestyle has been a source of fascination since ancient times. Several cultures, such as the ancient Chinese, regarded these insects as powerful symbols of rebirth.
Names: People call these cicadas “locusts,” but they are not true locusts — real locusts look like grasshoppers. The phrase “17year cicada” indicates that they arrive every 17 years. The name “periodical cicadas” indicates that they arrive periodically and not each and every year. The scientific name for the Genus of these cicadas is Magicicada, and there are three types of 17-year Magicicadas: Magicicada septendecim, Magicicada cassini and Magicicada septendecula.

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Monday, May 13, the 133rd day of 2013. There are 232 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 13, 1963, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Brady v. Maryland, upheld, 7-2, a lower court decision overturning the death sentence (but not the conviction) of John L. Brady for murder because the prosecution had withheld from the defense a statement by a separately tried accomplice, Charles D. Boblit, that he’d actually carried out the 1958 killing of William Brooks during a robbery. (Brady spent years in prison in legal limbo, declining his right to another sentencing hearing; he was eventually paroled. Boblit, 79, remains imprisoned in Maryland.) On this date: • In 1607, English colonists arrived by ship at the site of what became the Jamestown settlement in Virginia (the colonists went ashore the next day). • In 1846, the United States declared that a state of war already existed with Mexico. • In 1917, three shepherd children near Fatima, Portugal, reported seeing a vision of the Virgin Mary. • In 1918, the first U.S. airmail stamps, featuring a picture of a Curtiss JN-4 biplane, were issued to the public. (On a few of the stamps, the biplane was inadvertently printed upside-down, making them collector’s items.) • In 1940, Britain’s new prime minister, Winston Churchill, told Parliament: “I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.” • In 1958, Vice President Richard Nixon and his wife, Pat, were spat upon and their limousine battered by rocks thrown by anti-U.S. demonstrators in Caracas, Venezuela. • In 1968, a one-day general strike took place in France in support of student protesters. • In 1972, 118 people died after fire broke out at the Sennichi Department Store in Osaka, Japan. • In 1973, in tennis’ first so-called “Battle of the Sexes,” Bobby Riggs defeated Margaret Court 6-2, 6-1 in Ramona, Calif. (Riggs had his standing challenge to female players accepted by Billie Jean King, who soundly defeated Riggs at the Houston Astrodome in September.) • In 1981, Pope John Paul II was shot and seriously wounded in St. Peter’s Square by Turkish assailant Mehmet Ali Agca (MEH’-met AH’-lee AH’juh).
OUT OF THE BLUE Couple give up catwalk fight DURANGO, Colo. (AP) — A Durango area couple is giving up their fight to keep a 13-foot escape route for their cats outside their Colorado apartment. Martha Spence and her husband built the catwalk from a window to a nearby tree to allow their two cats to go outside from their second-floor unit whenever they wanted. The Durango Herald reported that they agreed to take it down Thursday at the request of the development's homeowners association. The couple had planned to appeal the board’s request, but Spence said her husband wasn't able to take off work to pursue it. Neighbors objected to the look of the catwalk and also worried children would try to use it. In addition, the association says its regulations bar pets from roaming free in the development.

Resounding election victory for Pakistan’s Sharif BY SEBASTIAN ABBOT Associated Press LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) — Former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif looked poised Sunday to return to office with a resounding election victory — a mandate that could make it easier to tackle the country’s daunting problems, including growing power outages, weak economic growth and shaky government finances. Questions remain, however, about Sharif’s stance on another key issue: violent Islamic extremism. Critics have accused his party of being soft on radicals because it hasn’t cracked down on militant groups in its stronghold of Punjab province. That could be a concern for the United States, which has pushed Pakistan for years to take stronger action against a variety of Islamic militant groups, especially fighters staging cross-border attacks
against American troops in Afghanistan. As unofficial returns rolled in Sunday, a day after the election, state TV estimates put Sharif close to the majority in the national assembly needed to govern outright for the next five years. Even if he falls short of that threshold, independent candidates almost certain to swing in Sharif’s favor would give his Pakistan Muslim League-N party a ruling majority. That would put the 63-year-old Sharif in a much stronger position than the outgoing Pakistan People’s Party, which ruled for five years with a weak coalition that was often on the verge of collapse. Pakistan suffers from a growing energy crisis, with some areas experiencing power outages for up to 18 hours a day. That has seriously hurt the economy, pushing growth below 4 percent a year. The country needs a growth rate of twice that to provide jobs for its expanding population of 180 million. Ballooning energy subsidies and
payments to keep failing public enterprises afloat have steadily eaten away at the government’s finances, forcing the country to seek another unpopular bailout from the International Monetary Fund. Pakistan also has an ineffective tax system, depriving the government of funds. Sharif, the son of a wealthy industrialist, is seen by many as more likely to tackle the country’s economic problems effectively because much of his party’s support comes from businessmen. He is also expected to push for better relations with Pakistan’s archenemy and neighbor India, which could help the economy. The Pakistan People’s Party was widely perceived to have done little on the economic front. “Anything better than zero and you have already improved on the PPP’s performance in terms of managing the economy,” said Cyril Almeida, a columnist for Pakistan’s Dawn newspaper.
2 bodies found after standoff; suspect killed TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — A registered sex offender who barricaded himself for days in a home with his girlfriend’s three children was shot to death Sunday as police rescued the captives and recovered the bodies of their mother and another sibling, authorities said. Police officers initially went to the South Trenton home Friday afternoon after a relative of 44-year-old Carmelita Stevens said she hadn’t spoken to her in weeks and was worried, authorities said at a news conference Sunday. Upon further investigation, authorities then discovered her children hadn’t been to school in 12 days. Officers entered the home through a rear door and smelled an odor consistent with that of a decomposing body, Trenton Police Director Ralph Rivera Jr. said. The officers also noticed maggots throughout the residence. They found 38-year-old Gerald “Skip” Tyrone Murphy in an upstairs bedroom and he told them he was armed with a gun and explosives and had three children with him, Mercer County Prosecutor Joseph L. Bocchini Jr. said. Officers noticed one of the dead victims before they retreated from the second floor and rescued Stevens’ 19-year-old son from the basement, who said he hadn’t seen her or his siblings since about April 24. Homes on the surrounding block were evacuated as a precaution, and police tape cordoned off the street in front of the house. A SWAT team was called, and an arson bomb unit was also on the scene. Police said Murphy could be seen from a window holding a black handgun. Police remained in contact with Murphy throughout the 37-hour-long standoff and passed food into the home through an upstairs window.

POPE FRANCIS waves to the crowd after a canonization ceremony in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican Sunday. Pope Francis on Sunday gave the Catholic church new saints, including hundreds of 15th-century martyrs who were beheaded for refusing to convert to Islam, as he led his first canonization ceremony Sunday in a packed St. Peter’s Square.
Pope gives church hundreds of new saints BY FRANCES D’EMILIO Associated Press VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis on Sunday gave the Catholic Church new saints, including hundreds of 15th-century martyrs who were beheaded for refusing to convert to Islam, as he led his first canonization ceremony Sunday in a packed St. Peter’s Square. The “Martyrs of Otranto” were 813 Italians who were slain in the southern Italian city in 1480 for defying demands by Turkish invaders who overran the citadel to renounce Christianity. Their approval for sainthood was decided upon by Francis’ predecessor, Benedict XVI, in a decree read at the ceremony in February where the former pontiff announced his retirement. Shortly after his election in March, Francis called for more dialogue with Muslims, and it
was unclear how the granting of sainthood to the martyrs would be received. Islam is a sensitive subject for the church, and Benedict stumbled significantly in his relations with the Muslim community. The first pontiff from South America also gave Colombia its first saint: a nun who toiled as a teacher and spiritual guide to indigenous people in the 20th century. With Colombia’s President Juan Manuel Santos among the VIPS, the Argentine pope held out Laura of St. Catherine of Siena Montoya y Upegui as a potential source of inspiration to the country’s peace process, attempted after decades-long conflict between rebels and government forces. Francis prayed that “Colombia’s beloved children continue to work for peace and just development of the country.” He also canonized another Latin American woman. Maria
Guadalupe Garcia Zavala, a Mexican who dedicated herself to nursing the sick, helped Catholics avoid persecution during a government crackdown on the faith in the 1920s. Also known as Mother Lupita, she hid the Guadalajara archbishop in an eye clinic for more than a year after fearful local Catholic families refused to shelter him. Francis prayed that the new Mexican saint’s intercession could help the nation “eradicate all the violence and insecurity,” an apparent reference to years of bloodshed and other crime largely linked to powerful drug trafficking clans. Francis told the crowd that the martyrs are a source of inspiration, especially for “so many Christians, who, right in these times and in so many parts of the world, still suffer violence.” He prayed that they receive “the courage of loyalty and to respond to evil with good.”
Review chairman says Clinton didn’t make Benghazi call BY PHILIP ELLIOTT Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The seasoned diplomat who penned a highly critical report on security at a U.S. outpost in Benghazi, Libya, defended his scathing assessment but absolved then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. “We knew where the responsibility rested,” Thomas Pickering said Sunday. “They’ve tried to point a finger at people more senior than where we found the decisions were made,” Pickering, whose career spans four decades, said of Clinton’s critics. The Accountability Review Board, which Pickering headed with retired Adm.
Mike Mullen, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, did not question Clinton at length about the attacks but concluded last December that the decisions about the consulate were made well below the secretary’s level. Pickering and Mullen’s blistering report found that “systematic failures and leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels” of the State Department meant that security was “inadequate for Benghazi and grossly inadequate to deal with the attack that took place.” Pickering’s defense of his panel’s conclusions, however, failed to placate Republicans who have called for creation of
a special select congressional committee to investigate the Sept. 11, 2012, assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. The top Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee said he wants sworn depositions from Pickering and Mullen, and promised to make that request on Monday. “This is a failure, it needs to be investigated. Our committee can investigate. Now, Ambassador Pickering, his people and he refused to come before our committee,” said Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., the panel’s chairman. Pickering, sitting next to
Issa during an appearance on one Sunday show, said the chairman was lying and that he was willing to testify before the committee. “That is not true,” said the former top diplomat who has served in Republican as well as Democratic administrations. In a separate interview, Pickering said he asked, via the White House, to appear at Wednesday’s session. He said he could have answered many of the questions lawmakers raised, such as whether U.S. military forces could have saved Americans had they dispatched F-16 jet fighters to the consulate, some 1,600 miles away from the nearest likely launching point.

This lofty price tag is shocking when compared to a 2008 survey by Seventeen magazine that found that families of girls were planning to spend $566 to make sure their beautiful daughters were even more beautiful for that special evening. Why has the cost of attending the prom become so expensive? According to Visa, the girls have been inspired by celebrities on the red carpet and influenced by couture photos, so to get the “look,” American girls plan to spend more when they shop for the prom this year. However, some communities have shops that have beautiful formal prom dresses that were worn once or twice that can be rented, or purchased at a much-reduced price. Some organizations even see to it that girls who cannot afford a prom dress will be given a little help so they also can shine at the prom! Girls, check to see if your community has such a wonderful shop and have fun at the prom!

To prevent the problem, fill the dispenser partially with water BEFORE adding the fabric softener. — Heloise TOOTHBRUSH HOLDER Dear Heloise: I had some extra toothbrush holders, the round kind with holes on top. I took fresh flowers (silk would work, too) and placed them in the holder. It made a cute little flower arrangement. Because of the size, they fit nicely into areas without much space — the bathroom sink, a nightstand, etc. Toothbrush holders come in so many colors, it is easy to find one to match your decor! — Julie in Dayton, Ohio CLEAN LUNCH Dear Heloise: When packing my son’s lunch, I always throw in an antibacterial wipe placed in a zippered plastic bag. He doesn’t use it every day, but he occasionally needs to wipe the table or his lunch bag. It comes in handy if something spills or the table is dirty, etc. — Catherine in Cleveland

Bar association learns of hospital updates Twenty members of the Shelby County Bar Association attended a luncheon and presentation recently hosted by the Wilson Memorial Hospital Foundation. Wilson President and CEO Tom Boecker reported that 2012 was a good year for Wilson and shared the hospital’s recent accomplishments including new and enhanced services. Most notable among those mentioned were the urgent care clinic, diagnostic cardiovascular cath lab, Coumadin clinic, relocation of the outpatient lab, and the emergency department renovation. Nine physicians and one nurse practitioner were added to the medical staff in 2012, Boecker said. “Financially, we had a very strong year. This is important in order to keep up with technology. The conversion to electronic medical records, what we term ‘meaningful use,’ alone cost over
$7 million. This is a governmental requirement of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare),” he said. The importance of the Wilson Memorial Hospital Foundation to the hospital and community were stressed due to a significant increase in overall demand for services in the future. “The major reasons are two-fold,” Boecker said. “An aging population and the Affordable Care Act. The only purpose of the foundation is to raise funds for the hospital. “The current focus is to continue to build the hospital’s general endowment fund.” “The Wilson Foundation board’s plan to maintain the hospital for future generations is a two-step process,” said Bonnie Faulkner, executive director of the foundation. “First, build the general endowment which will assist in meeting the future capital needs of the hospital.
Secondly, continue a strong focus on encouraging donors to include Wilson in their estate plans.” Faulkner continued with an update on the foundation’s accomplishments in 2012 stating, “2012 was also a good year for the foundation with total revenue of more than $731,000 and the endowment fund is currently $6.7 million with a goal of $50 million. “While $6.7 million sounds like a lot of money, and it really is, it is not enough when you consider that our capital budget each year is typically well over $4 million and will only continue to rise as the cost of technology increases.” It was emphasized that donors are encouraged to contact their own personal legal counsel for assistance in preparing the legal documents necessary to include the hospital in their philanthropic planning.
Fairlawn singers compete Three Fairlawn High School choirs recently competed at the King’s Island Music in the Parks Festival in Cincinnati. Each choir sang two adjudicated pieces in front of a panel of two collegiate directors and were scored on tone quality, articulation and diction, dynamics, rhythm and pitch.
The Fairlawn Youth Choir (grades 4-6) scored a top Superior rating and placed first in their division beating out three other elementary choirs. The Fairlawn Junior High Choir was rated Excellent and placed first in their division ahead of four other school choirs. The Fairlawn High School Choir received the
top rating of Superior. The junior high and high school choirs are directed by Sonya Phillips and accompanied by Shelly Mann. The youth choir is directed by Melissa Lozano. Choirs participating in this contest were from Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio.

SIDNEY HIGH School vocal music students rally around Dr. David Cassel, professor of music at Vanderbilt University’s Blair School of Music, during a master class in Nashville, Tenn., recently.
SHS choir takes class in Nashville Students from the Sidney High School symphonic, freshman, and girl’s glee choirs recently travelled to Nashville, Tenn., the home of country music. While there, students took part in a master class with Dr. David Cassel of Vanderbilt University’s Blair School of Music. “I had the pleasure of conducting the singers of Sidney High School and I was very impressed with their preparation, their high level of musicality, and their eagerness to learn,” said Cassel. “[Sidney is] indeed fortunate to have such a high caliber edu-
cator as Ms. (Brittany) Moore. She prepares them with technicality, and obviously has worked to bring out the more intangible, poetic aesthetic facets of the choral craft.” The master class was a 90-minute, intensive session. “It is rare that a conductor chooses this more intense format; it is a nervy thing to do,” Cassel said. “It can only be done when the choir master really trusts her singers, and trusts that she has prepared them to function, independent of her, in a different leadership environment. The whole operation
worked beautifully.” Students toured the university and performed. While on the trip, students and chaperones were also toured the Country Music Hall of Fame, RCA Studio B, the Grand Ole Opry and the Hermitage, which was President Andrew Jackson’s plantation. They had the opportunity to play Elvis’s piano, attend Mozart’s opera, “The Magic Flute,” attend a live radio production and show at the Grand Ole Opry, ride on the General Jackson Riverboat, and perform at Tennessee State University.
Researchers track stroke patients’ ambulance use DALLAS, Texas — More than a third of stroke patients don’t get to the hospital by ambulance, even though that’s the fastest way to get there, according to new research in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, an American Heart Association journal. Researchers studied records on more than 204,000 stroke patients arriving at emergency rooms at 1,563 hospitals participating in the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Get With The Guidelines-Stroke quality improvement program from 2003 through 2010. Emergency medical services (EMS) transported 63.7 percent of the patients, with the rest arriving in various other ways, researchers said. During a stoke emergency, quick treatment is critical. EMS transported 79 percent of those who got to the hospital within two hours of the start of their symptoms. That resulted in earlier arrival, quicker evaluation and faster treatment, said the researchers who found: • Almost 61 percent of people transported by
EMS got to the hospital within three hours of the first symptoms, compared to 40 percent who didn’t use EMS; • Almost 55 percent using EMS had a brain scan within 25 minutes of hospital arrival, compared to 35.6 percent who didn’t use EMS; • Of patients eligible for a clot-busting drug, 67.3 percent using EMS received it within three hours of symptom onset, compared to 44.1 percent who didn’t use EMS. “EMS are able to give the hospital a heads-up, and that grabs the attention of the emergency room staff to be ready to act as soon as the patient arrives,” said Jeffrey L. Saver, M.D., senior author of the study and director of the UCLA Comprehensive Stroke Center in Los Angeles, Calif. “The ambulance crew also knows which hospitals in the area have qualified stroke centers. “Patients don’t lose time going to one hospital only to be referred to another that can provide more advanced care if needed, whether that’s drugs to bust up the clot or device procedures to remove it.” Minorities and rural
residents were less likely to call for EMS at the signs of a stroke, researchers found. “A number of factors can fuel the reluctance to call 9-1-1,” said James Ekundayo, M.D., Dr.P.H., lead author of the study and assistant professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tenn. “People may not recognize symptoms and may delay seeking medical care or call their doctor instead. We hear people say they just didn’t want to be a bother, but many times
there could have been a better outcome if EMS had been called.” About 795,000 Americans experience a new or recurrent stroke each year — a stroke every 40 seconds or a related death every four minutes. Boosting public awareness efforts and education is critical to improving stroke outcomes in the short- and long-term, researchers said. The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Together to End Stroke, sponsored nationally by healthcare products leader Covidien, raises
stroke awareness and educates Americans that stroke is largely preventable, treatable and beatable. The campaign now includes a free mobile app that highlights the acronym F.A.S.T. to help people recognize a stroke: • Face drooping – Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. • Arm weakness – Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? • Speech difficulty – Is speech slurred, are they unable to speak, or
are they hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like “The sky is blue.” Is the sentence repeated correctly? • Time to call 9-1-1 – If the person shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get them to the hospital immediately. “Your life, your brain, depends on calling Saver said. 9-1-1,” “Know the signs and act fast if you or someone you’re with is having stroke symptoms.” For more information, visit www.strokeassociation.org/together.

Autopsies done on two brothers reported missing
AP Photo/Tony Dejak
CLEVELAND COUNCILMAN Brian Cummins holds a news conference Saturday near where three women were held in Cleveland. Now, for the women freed from captivity inside a Cleveland house, the ordeal is not over. Next comes recovery — from sexual abuse and their sudden, jarring re-entry into a world much different from the one they were snatched from a decade ago. Cummins said that the women need time to be left alone.
WOMEN at least five times and forcing her miscarry by starving her and punching her in the belly. The allegations were contained in a police report that also said Berry was forced to give birth in a plastic kiddie pool inside the home. A DNA test confirmed that Castro fathered the 6-yearold girl, who escaped the house with Berry. After nearly a decade of being away, the three women need time to reconnect with their families, said attorney Jim Wooley. Knight, who was the first to disappear and the last of the three released from the hospital, thanked everyone for their support and good wishes in her statement. “I am healthy, happy and safe and will reach out to family, friends and supporters in good time.” Berry added: “Thank you so much for everything you’re doing and continue to do. I am so
From Page 1 happy to be home with my family.” The attorney said none of the women will do any media interviews until the criminal case against Castro is over. He also asked that they be given privacy. “Give them the time, the space, and the privacy so that they can continue to get stronger,” Wooley said. The Associated Press does not usually identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault, but the women’s names were widely circulated by their families, friends and law enforcement authorities for years during their disappearances and after they were found. Donations are pouring into funds set up for the women. City Councilman Brian Cummins said $50,000 has been raised with the goal of creating a trust fund for each in hopes of making them finan-
cially independent. Castro was represented at his first court appearance Thursday by public defender Kathleen Demetz, who said she can’t speak to his guilt or innocence and advised him not to give any media interviews that might jeopardize his case. Castro’s two brothers, who were initially taken into custody but released Thursday after investigators said there was no evidence against them, told CNN that they fear people still believe they had something to do with the three missing women. Onil and Pedro Castro said they’ve been getting death threats even after police decided to release them. Pedro Castro said he would have turned in his brother if he had known he was involved in the women’s disappearance. “Brother or no brother,” he told CNN.
PREORDER . . .
OTTAWA (AP) — Autopsies have been completed on two teenage brothers who were reported missing in northwest Ohio last week and found dead after a third teen directed authorities to their bodies. Authorities aren’t releasing the results as they continue their investigation and weigh whether to file more charges against a teen who pleaded not guilty to a grand theft auto charge Friday in juvenile court. The two who were found dead— 14-yearold Blaine Romes and 17-year-old Blake Romes — lived together with the third teen and their mothers inside a trailer home in Ottawa, a small village about 100 miles northwest of Columbus, neighbors said. The teens had been the subjects of an Amber Alert issued Thursday
morning after a mother returned to the home and found a crime scene, the Putnam County Sheriff ’s Office said. A car was also reported missing from the trailer park. The Associated Press previously identified the third teen, also a 17year-old boy, but now is withholding his name because he has been charged as a juvenile. Prosecutors said Friday they anticipate filing additional charges, which they didn’t specify, as they worked on building their case. The Lucas County coroner’s office completed the autopsies Friday but authorities in Ottawa have not made the results public. The 17-year-old boy was taken into custody Thursday afternoon at a gas station in Columbus after stopping to ask for directions, authorities
said. He was driving the missing car, police said. He faces no other charges. The Putnam County Sheriff ’s Office said the 17-year-old told officers that the Romes brothers were dead and gave the locations of their bodies. Sheriff Mike Chandler said the bodies were found in different locations. He declined to give additional information on what happened, saying he was limited because those involved are juveniles. The father of Blaine and Blake Romes told The Blade newspaper in Toledo that he last talked to his sons on their birthdays in March. “They were amazing kids. I really think they had respect and manners for others,” said Brian Romes, who is no longer married to the boys’ mother.
Ohio horse racing industry shows signs of comeback DAYTON (AP) — Ohio’s horse racing industry is showing signs of rebounding. Race horse breeding in Ohio is on the upswing after years of decline as gambling rules are allowing tracks to add slots-like gambling that will pump millions into the horse industry. Some tracks are renovating to add the video terminal games while others are building new entirely tracks. It all means more money for horse racing. “We’re just seeing a glimmer of the future. It’s bright,” Bob Schmitz, chairman of the Ohio State Racing Commission told The Dayton Daily News. The expansion of gambling is expected to bring $10 million a year from casino revenue taxes and an estimated $1 million a month from video lottery play for the horse industry. The United States Trotting Association says the number of standardbred mares bred to Ohio stallions in 2012 more than doubled over the year before. “Most of this is just anticipation, because there is only one harness track open as a racino,” said Jerry Knappenberger, general manager of the Ohio Harness Horseman’s Association. “For
every horse, there’s a big financial multiplier. You need more products, hay and tack, more veterinarians, trainers and drivers.” Ohio had been the top producer of standardbred horses in the nation, but the industry had been declining the past eight years after other states approved video gambling at tracks. Horse breeder Scott Hagemeyer has 136 standardbred horses at his farm near Lebanon, more than he’s ever had in the past. “Previously, we wondered what the future of the business would be,” he said. “I’m not only planning for today, I’m planning for the future.” Tracks around the state also reported last year that attendance at harness racing events was up after slipping in recent years. The American Horse Council has estimated that Ohio horse racing was once a $900 million agricultural-based industry that supported 25,000 jobs directly. It now employs over 12,000 people from stable hands to veterinarians. ___ Information from: Dayton Daily N e w s , http://www.daytondailynews.com

Gypsy moth treatments to begin at www.agri.ohio.gov. Daily updates on treatment progress across the state are available by calling (614) 387-0907 or (800) 282-1955, ext. 37, any time after 5 p.m. Gypsy moths are invasive insects that defoliate trees and shrubs. In its caterpillar stage, the moth feeds on the leaves of trees and shrubs and is especially fond of oak. A healthy tree can usually
withstand only two years of defoliation before it is permanently damaged or dies. In Ohio, 51 counties are currently under gypsy moth quarantine regulations. In total for state, 4,558 acres in seven counties will receive treatment. For more information about the gypsy moth quarantine or for specific treatment locations, visit www.agri.ohio.gov.

REYNOLDSBURG, — The Ohio Department of Agriculture will soon begin aerial treatments designed to control the gypsy moth population in Ohio. Treatments on 149 acres in Champaign, Delaware and Marion Counties will begin in mid-May, as larva and leaf development reaches the optimal threshold for treatment. Treatments are administered using a lowflying aircraft that flies just above tree tops. High humidity, low temperature and minimal wind are crucial for a successful application. Treatment will most likely take place during early morning hours. The department will use Foray (Btk), a naturally occurring bacterium found in the soil that interferes with the caterpillars’ feeding cycles and Mimic (TBF), a chemical that imitates the natural insect molting hormone thus initiating a premature and lethal molt in the gypsy moth larvae. These treatments are not toxic to humans, pets, birds or fish. Ohioans can view maps of treatment blocks
JACKSON CENTER — The Jackson Center FFA traveled to the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus, Ohio for their annual Ohio FFA Convention on May 3-4. The theme of this years’ event was “Grow.” Sessions, speakers and activities throughout both days encouraged FFA members to continue to learn and grow through influencing and inspiring others. Members had the opportunity to attend sessions, and go on agricultural tours. Several members of the Jackson Center FFA competed in the annual Agriscience Fair Event. Juniors, Erin Poppe and Brandon Ware did their experiment to find out if juice drinks like orange and apple juice contained differing amounts of vitamin C based on their brand names. Sophomore Alison Burt’s experiment tested the growth rate of corn based on having microorganisms present in the soil. Congratulations to all of these members who received silver ratings on May 2.

lieving that the government will be good stewards of those funds. And it is unfair to the millions of Americans who want to build a better life for their families and yet find that the federal resources allocated to help them aren’t getting the job done. We can do better, and that’s why I have joined with Sen. Michael Bennet to introduce the CAREER Act, a bipartisan bill designed to fix some of the problems that plague our federal jobs retraining programs. The purpose of this legislation is four-fold. First, we need to reorganize our worker retraining programs to make them more efficient. We don’t need 47 different programs run by nine different agencies. We can combine and simplify those programs, making them easier to access for those who are eligible for training. My bill clears a path for doing that.

in job placement and retention. Finally, we need to make it less difficult and expensive for state and local workforce officials to determine whether or not their programs are having an impact. We give state workforce agencies access to the National Directory of New Hires — a database that is already up and running — so that they know when workers get a job in another state or region. These reforms should not be controversial. They are commonsense. They are bipartisan. They will help unemployed Americans find the good-paying jobs they need, and they’ll do it in a way that makes better use of taxpayer dollars.

Support appreciated To the editor: I would like to express my appreciation to the residents of Minster for their overwhelming support to retain the present Minster old world script on the water tower. There were 975 signatures on the survey. Unfortunately, the Village Council ignored your wishes. It is obvious the Minster Council no longer represents the people. The council is ruled by a small select group called the Branding Committee. If there is a choice, please remember this in November. Again, I appreciate your support.

Megabanks are viewed as banks in Ohio, and across the nation, at a competitive disad- having the ultimate insurance policy — one with no coverage vantage. Millions of families and small businesses depend limits or premiums. This on their community banks for funding advantage has now their savings accounts, home been confirmed by three inde-
pendent studies in the last year, one of them quantifying the subsidy at $83 billion per year. We have a financial system that rewards banks for their size, not their quality of their operations. Simply put, it’s a “heads megabanks win, tails taxpayers lose” scenario that squashes innovation and competition and is distinctly un-American. That’s why my Republican colleague, Sen. David Vitter from Louisiana, and I introduced the Terminating Bailouts for Taxpayer Fairness Act (TBTF) Act recently. Our bill sets forth a plan that would prevent any one financial institution from becoming so risky and overleveraged that it could put our economy on the brink of collapse or trigger the need for a federal bailout. First, our bill will ensure that all banks have enough investor equity to back up their sometimes risky prac-
tices — so taxpayers don’t have to. Adequate equity levels lessen the likelihood that an institution will fail and lower the costs to the rest of the financial system and the economy if it does. Our bill will end corporate welfare enjoyed by Wall Street banks by setting reasonable standards depending on the size and complexity of the institution. Next, our bill will limit the government safety net — the assistance provided by Federal Reserve lending and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) insurance — to traditional banking operations. Specifically, financial institutions would be prohibited from transferring nonbank liabilities — like derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending — into federally supported banks. This will ensure that the government safety net begins and ends at the commercial bank.
If megabanks want to be large and complex, that’s their choice — but we don’t have to subsidize their risk-taking. If they fail, their executives and investors — not taxpayers — should pay the price. Finally, our bill will provide sensible regulatory relief for community banks. Because community institutions do not have large compliance departments like Wall Street institutions, our legislation proposes commonsense measures to lessen the load on our local banks. Leveling the playing field won’t help if our community banks are driven out of business by compliance costs. We shouldn’t wait for another economic crisis before we take action. We owe it to Ohio families — and families across the country — to guarantee that Wall Street megabanks will never again gamble away the American dream.

For Tuesday, May 14, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today your focus is on home, family and domestic matters. You might also want to cocoon at home. Discussions with a parent or older female relative will be significant. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a busy, curious day. Enjoy short trips, spending time with siblings and talking to neighbors and daily contacts. You want to enlighten others about something. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Money, cash flow and something you own will absorb your attention today. Stay in touch with your bank account. Avoid disputes about possessions. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Today the Moon is in your sign, which brings you extra luck. However, it also makes you more emotional than usual. Avoid aggressive tactics with others in groups. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You have been high-viz lately, which makes you popular. You’re enjoying this, but even you need a rest. Today is a good day to lie low. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A confidential discussion with a female friend could be meaningful today. Avoid disputes about religion, politics and racial issues; instead, share your ideas about travel or educational plans. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Private details about your personal life might be public today. (Not always
easy to handle.) Be aware of this and ready to do some damage control if necessary. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Indulge your need for a little adventure today. At least, learn something new because you don’t want to be bored. You want something different to happen to enliven your life! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Stay in touch with bank accounts, insurance matters and details about inheritances. Make sure that shared property is clearly defined. (This might be a sexy day for some.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Be prepared to go more than halfway when dealing with others today because the Moon is opposite your sign. It’s not a big deal.

Do something. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Enjoy sports events, playful times with children and little flirtations because this is a playful day for you. You might want to watch a movie or read a mystery. YOU BORN TODAY You’re an energetic perfectionist, which means you can accomplish a lot.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE Monday, May 13, 2013 Although you might experience powerful, uncontrollable changes in the year ahead, don’t let these developments overwhelm you. Chances are, they’ll end up proving to be to your benefit. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Nothing worthwhile is likely to be accomplished if you’re too reluctant to compromise. It’ll be your loss — sometimes you need to bend to get what you want. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Though you will admirably want to help someone you see struggling, make sure that the person is legitimately in need of help. He or she may just be faking. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Complications will arise if you’re so adamant about having your way that you buck the will of the majority. Being the lone dissenter will make you stick out like a sore thumb. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Be careful not to overplay your hand in a collective endeavor. Demanding things be done your way or loudly tooting your own horn could turn supporters into opponents. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Nothing will be gained by arguing with someone whose views differ radically from yours. To make matters worse, it might be about something that neither of you has the power to change. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you’re swimming in unfamiliar waters, make sure you have a firm grasp of what’s what. Someone could be trying to take advantage of you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Don’t make a major domestic decision before talking things over with your mate and/or family. Someone in the household might have a better picture of the situation than you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Someone who has neglected to thank you for a previous favor might once again seek your help. What you do is your business, but don’t look for a different ending. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Normally, you’re a pretty cautious person, but today someone might talk you into doing a favor for him or her against your better judgment. Be careful, not sorry. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Have some alternative plans in mind today, just in case you have to scrap your original objective. There’s a chance something might cause you to change course real fast. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Just because someone strong-willed is presenting something to you doesn’t mean you have to do what this person wants. Don’t be awed by his or her force. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If you’re not careful, you could get yourself in trouble by giving more than you can materially or emotionally afford. Be careful not to overextend yourself in either case. COPYRIGHT 2013 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

DEAR ABBY: Our youngest daughter will graduate from college next month. The school is 10 hours away by car or a 2 1/2-hour plane ride. There are no direct flights. My husband and I are excited about this special day, and so is his 82year-old mother. (I’ll call her Ethel.) She mentioned yesterday that she’s excited to go. Abby, Ethel is not a well woman. She has trouble walking, falls occasionally and hasn’t been out of this town for 30 years. She is also hypercritical. She does nothing but complain about other people, her health, this country, etc. Looking after her would be a huge burden.
We’d like to attend this milestone event without the added stress of taking care of her. My husband and I have been married 25 years, and Ethel still complains about me. Because she’s such a handful, we have never taken her to dinner or a movie. How do we (kindly) tell her that what she has in mind is not going to be possible? — READY TO CELEBRATE IN SAN DIEGO DEAR READY TO CELEBRATE: You and your husband should tell his mother that graduations in the best of circumstances are stressful events and can be difficult for someone who is unsteady on her feet. You could also mention that seating is limited, because it often is at graduations. Then offer to videotape the ceremony so she doesn’t have to miss it. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

75 years May 13, 1938 Celebration this week of the 20th anniversary of air mail service in the United States, brings to mind the act that two brothers, Edward and Milton Korn of this county, were the first unofficial carriers of mail by plane. The two brothers, already pioneers in the field, were giving exhibition flights at St. Louis in 1912, and as a part of their program, carried a sack of mail from that city to Collinsville, Ill. This feat of 26 years ago was the forerunner of today’s great airmail system. ––––– The closing meeting of the Faculty Wives club was luncheon given yesterday afternoon at Bauer’s Grill, with Mrs. E.J. Miltenberger, Mrs. Floyd Jeffries, and Mrs. Harold Slager as the hostesses. Officers named for the new year, beginning in the fall, include: Mrs. R.J. White, president; Mrs. O.R. Findley, vice president; Mrs. James Royon, secretary-treasurer, and Mrs. Herber Woolweaver, press reporter.

REPLAY 50 years ago May 13, 1963 Bill Goubeaux probably hurled the longest no-hit delivery in the area’s prep circle, without getting credit for his terrific showing. The Minster High school twirler fired nine hitless innings against Waynesfield but was tapped for a hit and two markers in the 10th in losing 2-0.
25 years ago May 13, 1988 The Shelby County League trackand field meet began Thursday. Russia’s girls led after two events thanks to first places in both. Becky Schieltz won the shot put with a heave of 32-1, and Laura Schulze won the high jump by clearing 4-10.
10 years ago May 13, 2003 In a battle of two teams that have had their struggles this year, Houston beat Botkins 7-6 in Shelby County League action Monday. Cody Lawson had a big two-run double for the Wildcats in the third inning. Derek Rose was 2-for-3 with a double.
INDY 500 Rookie tops speed chart INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Carlos Munoz shot straight to the top of the Indianapolis 500 speed chart Sunday. A little more than 24 hours after passing his rookie test, the Colombian n a r r o w l y averted a collision with teammate Marco Andretti in the first turn and posted the fastest lap in two practice sessions by going 223.023 mph on a cold, windy day. Despite the near mishap, Andretti Autosport still claimed four of the top six spots Sunday. Defending series champ Ryan Hunter-Reay posted Sunday's second-fastest time at 222.825. Venezuela's E.J. Viso was third at 222.523.

Lutz’s first wins for Reds CINCINNATI (AP) — Don Lutz’s mother didn’t like the sound of his voice when he called her at home in Germany an hour before he started in left field for the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. “I’ve been sick, and she said, ‘What’s wrong with your voice?’” Lutz said. “She said, ‘Take your vitamins.’” Lutz wasted no time proving to his mom, Marlen, that he was healthy. The rookie, who was born in the United States and grew up in Germany, hit his first career home run, a three-run drive off the right-field foul pole in the second inning that led Cincinnati over the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1 for a threegame sweep. Lutz, who made his big league debut on April 29, homered off Wily Peralta (33). Pinch-hitter Xavier Paul homered in the seventh, sending Milwaukee to its fourth straight loss and ninth in 10 games. Bronson Arroyo (3-4) ended a four-start winless streak, allowing five hits in 6 2-3 scoreless innings with one walk and five strikeouts. He had been 0-3 since beating Philadelphia on April 15, and he snapped out of the slump despite not feeling well, manager Dusty Baker said. “I’m not sure what he had,” Baker said. “Sometimes, you just don’t feel right. It’s not something you can name. We knew about the seventh that he was about out of gas.” Arroyo rarely feels well in day games, he said. “I didn’t have a whole lot of stuff,” he said. “I was grinding from the first inning on. I knew I was getting away with

Luckily, they were beating them into the ground.” Sam LeCure struck out Jeff Bianchi looking to end the seventh, Jonathan Broxton allowed an unearned run in the eighth and Aroldis Chapman pitched the ninth. Peralta (3-3) gave up four runs — three earned — on five hits and two walks in six innings. Baker got his 1,603rd win as a manager, moving past Hall of Famer Fred Clarke into sole possession of 17th place on baseball’s career list,
16 behind Ralph Houk. Baker, in his 20th season as a manager, is 1,603-1,448 (.525). The Brewers have lost 10 of 12 against Cincinnati. The Reds have won the last four series against Milwaukee in Cincinnati and five of the last six overall. Brandon Phillips and Jay Bruce opened the second inning with singles and, one out later, Lutz lined a 1-0 pitch off the foul pole. He is 6 for 13 during a six-game hitting streak. “It was awesome,” Lutz said. “My mom and grandma
were watching (on television). I’m sure they were pretty excited.” He hadn’t promised to hit a home run during his pregame Mother’s Day phone call. “I didn’t want to get ahead of myself,” Lutz said. Peralta had no problem with the pitch. “I made a great pitch,” he said. “There’s nothing I could do. If I had to put it right there again, I would. I don’t think he’d hit it.” See REDS/Page 2B

S.C. Kenseth won the race, and Busch finished in sixth place.
Kenseth passes Busch late for Darlington win DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) — Matt Kenseth is quickly showing how well he fits in at Joe Gibbs Racing. Kenseth passed JGR teammate Kyle Busch 13 laps from the end to win the Southern 500 on Saturday night, his third victory in his debut season after a successful stint with Roush Fenway Racing. JGR president J.D. Gibbs knew he was getting a champion in Kenseth. Still, even he’s been surprised with how fast the new driver has come up to speed alongside teammates Denny Hamlin and Busch. “He’s a good leader,” J.D. Gibbs said. “Denny and Kyle really like having him there and hearing what he has to say. And on the track, he’s got a gift.” He proved that again at Darlington, where Kenseth patiently sat behind Busch much of the race before the right adjustments to the car clicked. It didn’t hurt that Busch, who led 265 of 367 laps, cut a right rear tire down the stretch that cost him.
Once Kenseth cleared his teammate, he had clear sailing toward his 27th career Sprint Cup victory. “I’ve got the good job and I’ve got the easy job,” Kenseth said. “When they give me cars this fast, it’s a lot of fun.” Hamlin completed his first full race since suffering a compression fracture in a vertebra in his lower back on March 24 and finished right behind Kenseth. Jeff Gordon finished third in his 700th straight career start. Points leader Jimmie Johnson was fourth and Kevin Harvick fifth. Kenseth’s victory came without crew chief Jason Ratcliff, who was suspended for the No. 20 Toyota having an illegal part in a win at Kansas. Carl Edwards finished seventh, followed by Juan Pablo Montoya and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Ryan Newman rounded out the top 10. “This is a dream come true,” Kenseth shouted on his radio. “Thank you guys very much.” Hamlin might’ve thought the same thing after his second-place
finish. The driver missed four races because of the injury and ran just 23 laps at Talladega last weekend handing the car off to replacement driver Brian Vickers. Hamlin’s finish was just what the team needed as it tries to move up from 31st place when the week began into 20th, where it’d be eligible for a wild card entry into NASCAR’s championship chase. As Hamlin neared the end of the grueling 500 miles, crew chief Darian Grubb radioed his appreciation of the effort Hamlin put forth in his first full race back. “I am extremely proud of you there, buddy. Just an awesome job hanging with it all day,” crew chief Darian Grubb radioed as they closed in on the finish. “Thank you so much. I appreciate it,” Hamlin replied. Hamlin wasn’t sore, just worn out after leaving the car. “This is a tough, grueling race,” he said. “Nothing to hang our heads about coming up second for second year in a row.”
Kenseth had won three times here in the Nationwide Series, but had never come closer than third in Sprint Cup. “I don’t know that I’ve had a win that feels bigger than this,” said Kenseth, who counts the 2003 series championship and two Daytona 500s among his achievements. No one matched Busch for most of the race. He had powered to victory in the Nationwide event here Friday night — leading 107 of 147 laps — and was running strong again after taking the lead from older brother and pole-sitter Kurt Busch 74 laps in. Kyle Busch stayed on top through several stretches of green-flag racing and through the first four restarts. But his machine couldn’t keep up after Kenseth went by. Crew chief Dave Rogers said Busch had a cut right rear tire and only 12 pounds of pressure left when he went into the garage. It’s the 11th time Busch has led at least 200 laps in a Sprint Cup race, yet he’s only won four of those.

SERGIO GARCIA, of Spain, reacts after his tee shot on the 18th hole went into the water during the final round of The Players Championship golf tournament at TPC Sawgrass, Sunday in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. raced by the cup, and Lingmerth three-putted for bogey. “How about that?” Woods said to his caddie, Joe LaCava as he gave him a hug. Woods won The Players for the first time since 2001 and joined Fred Couples, Davis Love III and Steve Elkington as the only twotime winners at the TPC Sawgrass. It was his 78th career win on the
PGA Tour, four short of the record held by Sam Snead. Lingmerth closed with a 72 and finished two shots behind along with Kevin Streelman (67) and Jeff Maggert, who also was tied for the lead until finding the water on the 17th to make double bogey. The 49-year-old Maggert birdied the 18th for a 70. Garcia took 13 shots to cover the final two holes — 6-over par — and tumbled into a tie for eighth. Woods made this drama possible by hooking his tee shot into the water on the 14th hole and making a double bogey, dropping him into a four-way tie with Garcia, Maggert and Lingmerth. The final two holes came down to Garcia and Woods, most appropriate given their public sniping at each other this weekend. It started Saturday

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods had the last word against Sergio Garcia by winning The Players Championship on Sunday. Woods ended a weekend of verbal sparring with Garcia by doing what he does best ‚Äî closing out tournaments, even if he let this one turn into a tense duel over the final hour at the TPC Sawgrass. Tied with Garcia with two holes to play, Woods won by finding land on the last two holes for par to close with a 2-under 70. If only it were that simple for the Spaniard. Garcia was standing on the 17th tee shot, staring across the water to an island as Woods made his par. He took aim at the flag with his wedge and hung his head when he saw the ball splash down short of the green. Then, Garcia hit another one in the water on his way to a quadruple-bogey 7. He completed his stunning collapse by hitting his tee shot into the water on the 18th and making double bogey. Woods was in the scoring trailer when he watched on TV as Swedish rookie David Lingmerth missed a long birdie putt that would have forced a playoff. It
