911 enters 21st century

BY TOM MILLHOUSE tmillhouse@civitasmedia.com The communication system at the Shelby County Sheriff ’s Office is about to enter the 21st century. On Tuesday, Shelby County Commissioners approved the purchase of equipment for a new state of the art 911 emergency system.

“We’ve been working on this for about a year and a half,” said Sheriff John Lenhart. The new system will replace equipment the county has used since implementing 911 emergency dispatching in 1992. “I’d say we got our money’s worth out of the system,” Lenhart said of the 21-year-old equipment.

The rapid change in technology made

the replacement of the 1990s equipment a top priority, Lenhart said, pointing out the radical difference between cell phone of that era with the high tech phones of today.

“It was obvious we were really dealing with a dinosaur,” Lenhart said.

HARDIN — An Arcanum man was injured when his semi truck went out of control and rolled over, dumping 800 bushels of soybeans in yards on Ohio 47 near the HardinWapakoneta Road intersection Thursday shortly after 8 a.m.

Gary R. Brown, 72, was taken by the Fort Loramie Rescue Squad to Wilson Memorial Hospital for nonlifethreatening injuries.

Shelby County Sheriff ’s deputies report Brown was

hauling soybeans to Cargill in Sidney when the truck, which was eastbound on Ohio 47, went off the right side of the highway as he was rounding a curve.

The rig overturned one and one-half times before coming to rest on its side about 30 feet from a house.

“That was a wild ride for a

GRAPEVINE, Texas (AP) — The Boy Scouts of America threw open its ranks Thursday to gay Scouts but not gay Scout leaders — a fiercely contested compromise that some warned could fracture the organization and lead to mass defections of members and donors.

Of the roughly 1,400 voting members of the BSA’s National Council who cast ballots, 61 percent supported the proposal drafted by the governing Executive Committee. The policy change takes effect Jan. 1.

“This has been a challenging chapter in our history,” the BSA chief executive, Wayne Brock, said after the vote.

“While people have differing opinions on this policy, kids are better off when they’re in Scouting.”

House Democrats seek changes to JobsOhio oversight COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio House Democrats proposed reporting and oversight changes to Gov. John Kasich’s private nonprofit job-creation office on Thursday that they said would make it more publicly accountable.

The so-called JobsOhio Accountability Act targets an operation that has faced a steady stream of challenges since it was created by Kasich in 2011, including a legal challenge to its constitutionality, questions over access to public documents and a subpoena for private financial records from Ohio Auditor Dave Yost.

“The continued secrecy

by JobsOhio and the governor only draws greater concern and raises more questions,” said state Rep. Matt Lundy of Elyria, among the act’s sponsors.

The legislation would subject JobsOhio to more rigorous state ethics and public records requirements — including the reporting of travel and

course of the 25-year deal.

“There was no ‘water into wine’ moment where Gov. Kasich blessed these state funds and made them private,” said state Rep. John Carney of Columbus. “As an entity that would not exist but for public funding, they should be subject to a full and public audit.”

JobsOhio turned over its private books under protest in March in response to a subpoena by Yost. Chief Investment Officer John Minor Jr. did so begrudgingly, insisting Ohio law shielded the records from disclosure.

The Republican-led Legislature intentionally created certain disclosure exemptions for JobsOhio to make the agency more nimble, and Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said Democrats’ ideas would be taking the state backward as Kasich’s economic strategy is working.

“Sliding back into the same failed governmentcentric attempts that contributed to the loss of

meals, allow full public audits by Yost’s office and investigations by the state watchdog, and require JobsOhio to launch a website tracking its finances.

Spokeswoman Laura Jones said state law already provides for significant reporting by including JobsOhio, through a state-run listing of grants, personal ethic statements and fiscal updates.

She said anyone who reads state law and JobsOhio’s contract with the Ohio Development Services Agency “will recognize that JobsOhio is already subject to a high degree of accountability and disclosure requirements, making it more transparent than most, if not all, other non-profit entities in the state.”

But Democrats say JobsOhio should be even more transparent than that, because its operations are funded through proceeds for Ohio’s state liquor profits, which could total $9 billion over the

400,000 jobs under the previous administration is the wrong answer,” he said in an email. “Ohio businesses have created more than 140,000 private sector jobs since January of 2011 because, among other reasons, job creators seeking to grow in Ohio have responded positively to JobsOhio’s private-sector approach.”

Democratic State Rep. Connie Pillich, of suburban Cincinnati, said that privacy has made JobsOhio vulnerable to corruption and that allowing Ohio’s inspector general to investigate it as he can other state agencies would “help to weed out any possible waste, fraud and abuse.”

“Ohioans deserve to know their hard-earned money is being used properly and to benefit them, rather than political favorites,” she said.

Required tax filings show JobsOhio has received $6.9 million from donors whose identities have not been disclosed, Democrats said.

Guardians to fight for Grand Lake clean up ST. MARYS — The upcoming Memorial Day weekend, which signals the beginning of summer and its activities, will be met with some trepidation for those around Grand Lake St. Marys as people in the area wonder what this season has in store for the lake.

“We are focusing on the government agencies that have the responsibility for keeping the lake, its tributaries and the watershed pollution free,” Anderson said, “and there has been much misinformation out there regarding the clean-up of our great lake. We do applaud ODNR Director Jim Zehringer for acknowledging that phosphate runoff is a dominate factor in feeding the proliferating algae and we support his position that farmland field tiles may be adding to the problem.

“With the lake being with health posted warnings since 2009, Governor Kasich’s campaign promise to clean up the lake and stop the pollution has been a hollow one, and the GOGLSM will work with all dedicated organizations

were to put a moratorium on excessive manure ‘disposal’ in the Grand Lake St. Marys watershed and enforced it, Mother Nature, along with some already funded mechanical remedies, could help accelerate the lake’s healing process.”

The fact that Grand Lake St. Marys watershed has been designated a “distressed watershed” and the lake has been labeled Ohio’s most degraded, serves as factual evidence that officials at the state level are aware that the remedy includes significant phosphate reduction.

THIS MAY 6 file photo shows neighbor Charles Ramsey speaking to media near the home where missing women Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michele Knight were rescued in Cleveland. Ramsey, the man who famously put down his Big Mac to help rescue three women held captive for a decade in an Ohio house will never have to pay for another burger in his hometown. Ramsey has been promised free burgers for life at more than a dozen Cleveland-area restaurants.

Hero gets year of free McDonald’s CLEVELAND (AP) — The man who famously put down his Big Mac to help rescue three women held captive for years in a Cleveland house will get free McDonald’s for the next year, a company spokeswoman confirmed Thursday.

Local franchisees in Charles Ramsey’s neighborhood have offered him free food at their restaurants, said Heidi Barker, a spokeswoman for Oak Brook, Ill.-based McDonald’s Corp.

Ramsey was called a hero after helping Amanda Berry, Gina Deand Michelle Jesus Knight break out of the house May 6. Homeowner Ariel Castro faces charges. His defense team has said he will plead not guilty.

Ramsey had noted in an interview with a local TV station that he was eating McDonald’s when the scene unfolded. He also spoke of it in a 911 call. Both the interview and the call quickly became popular online, and McDonald’s caught wind of Ramsey’s mentions.

The world’s biggest hamburger company had said a day after the res-

cue on Twitter: “We salute the courage of Ohio kidnap victims & respect their privacy. Way to go Charles Ramsey — we’ll be in touch.”

Barker said local McDonald’s owner-operators later connected with Ramsey.

“Out of respect for the survivors of this harrowing ordeal and the ongoing investigation, we have not shared publicly details of our outreach,” Barker said in an email.

McDonald’s also has made a $10,000 donation to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in the names of the three women and Ramsey, Barker said.

Ramsey has also been promised free burgers for life at more than a dozen Cleveland-area restaurants.

The restaurant where Ramsey worked as a dishwasher initially created a special burger in his honor, but eateries in the city decided a larger tribute was due, The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reported.

The newspaper said Ramsey was traveling and would get his reward when he returns.

Patrol: Don’t get behind the wheel impaired Memorial Day weekend Columbus — The Ohio State Highway Patrol is reminding drivers to not get behind the wheel impaired this Memorial Day weekend. Troopers will be working alongside local law enforcement officers in an effort to have a weekend free of impairedfatal crashes.

Memorial Day weekend is traditionally a dangerous holiday period on Ohio roads, particularly for impaired driving crashes. Last Memorial Day holiday, seven of the 13 people killed on Ohio roadways were involved in alcohol-related crashes.

“Based on data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration – in the United States, there is just one OVI arrest for every 27,000 miles driven while drunk. These impaired drivers severely threaten the well-being of every citizen in the state,” Colonel John Born, superintendent of the Patrol, said. “Fatalities caused by impaired drivers are indeed a national tragedy - and that makes them a potential tragedy for each of us.”

Motorists should also be reminded that wearing a safety belt is the single most effective tool in reducing injuries and deaths in crashes caused by impaired drivers. This message is part of the national Click It or Ticket safety belt mobilization, which runs through June 2.

Motorists are encouraged to call #677 to report impaired drivers or drug activity.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Cat is biker’s co-pilot PHILADELPHIA (AP) — For bicyclist Rudi Saldia, you could say a cat is his copilot.

Saldia often buzzes around Philadelphia with his year-old feline Mary Jane perched on his shoulder. Their urban adventures have turned heads on the street and garnered big hits on YouTube.

The 26-year-old bike courier didn’t intend to become Internet-famous. He originally shot footage of the outings only to prove to his mom that he was taking Mary Jane — nicknamed MJ — for a spin.

“She said, ‘No way!

You’re not taking your cat out for the ride,’ which is the reaction I still get even after people see this video,” Saldia said.

Saldia used a GoPro sports camera mounted on his bike to capture images of him and MJ, a brown and black tabby with bright yellow eyes. She seems to take the trips in stride, even nuzzling her owner as he pedals, though she gets a bit spooked by sirens and buses.

Muslim hard-liners ID suspect in London attack

BY PAISLEY DODDS The Associated Press LONDON (AP) — A man seen with bloody hands wielding a butcher knife after the killing of a British soldier on the streets of London was described as a convert to Islam who took part in demonstrations with a banned radical group, two Muslim hard-liners said Thursday.

Police raided houses in connection with the brazen slaying of the off-duty soldier, identified as Lee Rigby, of the 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, who served in Afghanistan.

In addition to the two suspects who were hospitalized after being shot by police, authorities said they had arrested a man and a woman, both 29, on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.

Police would not say whether it ap-

peared Rigby had been targeted specifically because of his military service.

Although he was not in uniform at the time he was killed, he was said by witnesses to be wearing a T-shirt for a British veterans’ charity.

Authorities have not identified either of the two wounded suspects and have not said when they would do so.

Officials in Britain usually wait to name suspects until charges have been filed.

Anjem Choudary, the former head of the radical group al-Muhajiroun, told The Associated Press that the man depicted in startling video that emerged after Rigby’s death was named Michael Adebolajo, a Christian who converted to Islam around 2003 and took part in several demonstrations by the group in London.

The BBC broadcast video from 2007

showing Adebolajo standing near Choudary at a rally.

Omar Bakri Muhammad, who now lives in Lebanon but had been a radical Muslim preacher in London, also said he recognized the man seen on TV as Adebolajo and said he attended his London lectures in the early 2000s.

Bakri, speaking from Lebanon, said he remembers Adebolajo as a “shy person” who was keen to learn about Islam and asked interesting questions.

“He used to listen more than he spoke,” Bakri said. “I was very surprised to learn that he is the suspect in the attack.”

Mary Warder, who has lived in the Woolwich area for more than 30 years, told the AP said she had seen both of the suspects preaching on the streets.

Shopkeepers, however, said they couldn’t remember seeing them.

Teachers, kids reunite

IN THIS Monday file photo, LaTisha Garcia carries her 8-year-old daughter, Jazmin Rodriguez near Plaza Towers Elementary School after a massive tornado carved its way through Moore, Okla., leaving little of the school and neighborhood. This picture, published on hundreds of front pages around the world, has become one of the enduring images from the storm.

Distraught mom becomes face of Oklahoma storm

BY SEAN MURPHY The Associated Press MOORE, Okla. (AP) — A massive tornado was carving its way through town. There was no time to hesitate.

LaTisha Garcia had to get to her children.

And so she raced against the storm. She had 30 miles to cover from her job in Edmond to Plaza Towers Elementary School, where her 8-year-old daughter Jazmin Rodriguez is a third grader.

She lost.

The tornado got there first, and the destruction kept her from driving the final few hundred yards. And so she got out of her car and ran, arriving to find little left of the school and almost nothing of the neighborhood.

Panic set in.

Survivors of the storm were frantic, pulling children from the twisted metal and piles of concrete rubble that remained of what was once a school. She knew her three youngest children were safe at their daycare, but Jazmin was somewhere inside the rubble.

Terror came next.

“Right when I ran up to ask if I could start pulling people out or try to help, some guy just handed her to me,” Garcia said. “I only recognized her from her clothes. My mind was in so many different places, I couldn’t even remember what she wore that day.”

Finally, relief.

The emotion seared on her face, she scooped her daughter into her arms and set off across the now barren land-

Obama defends drones WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama sought Thursday to advance the U.S. beyond the unrelenting war effort of the past dozen years, defining a narrower terror threat from smaller networks and homegrown extremists rather than the grandiose plots of Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaida.

In a lengthy address at the National Defense University, Obama defended his controversial drone-strikes program as a linchpin of the U.S. response to the evolving dangers. He also argued that changing threats require changes to the nation’s counterterrorism policies.

Obama implored Congress to close the much-maligned Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba and pledged to allow greater oversight of the drone program. But he plans to keep the most lethal efforts with the unmanned aircraft under the control of the CIA. He offered his most vigorous public defense yet of drone strikes as legal, effective and necessary as terror threats progress.

“Neither I, nor any president, can promise the total defeat of terror,” Obama told his audience of students, national security and human rights experts and counterterror officials. “What we can do — what we must do — is dismantle networks that pose a direct danger, and make it less likely for new groups to gain a foothold, all while maintaining the freedoms and ideals that we defend.”

Obama’s address came amid increased pressure from Congress on both the drone program and the status of the Guantanamo prison.

scape away from the place where seven of Jazmin’s schoolmates had died.

An Associated Press photographer, Sue Ogrocki, captured the moment: Mother and daughter, clutching each other, making their way to safety through a decimated neighborhood. All that stood behind them was a tree stripped of its limbs and bark, brutally wrapped in sheet metal by the storm.

“It was a long way toward the end of the parking lot,” Garcia, 28, recalled. “And she’s a heavy girl. There were times I didn’t think I was going to make it. But I did.”

The picture was published on hundreds of front pages around the world, becoming one of the enduring images from the storm.

MOORE, Okla. (AP) — Students from a suburban Oklahoma City elementary school destroyed by this week’s tornado reunited with their teachers Thursday and collected whatever could be salvaged from the ruins.

Some children carried thank-you cards. A firstgrader was eager to see her favorite gym teacher and for a chance to say goodbye for the school year.

It was one of many difficult goodbyes for the city of Moore.

Family and friends attended the funeral of a 9-year-old girl who died at Plaza Towers Elementary School — the first since Monday’s storm, which killed 24 people.

Students who survived the storm’s onslaught at the school and those whose parents had pulled them out of class just before it hit gathered with their teachers at another Moore school that wasn’t damaged. Seven children died at Plaza Towers.

Authorities kept journalists at a distance, but Cheryle Dixon, a grandmother of firstgrader Crisily Dixon, talked to a reporter about how hard it was for the little girl.

“A lot of tears, a lot of worry about her gym teacher, a lot of worry about a lot of the teachers that she knew, so she just can’t believe it,” Dixon said.

The father of 7-year-old Crisily had picked her up an hour before the tornado struck when he learned the severity of the approaching storm — a top-of-the-scale EF5 that was on the ground for 40 minutes, according to the National Severe Storm Lab in Norman.

The police and the mayor’s office in Oklahoma City both estimate that around 12,000 homes were damaged and destroyed by the storm in the city and to the south in Moore.

After the disaster, when Crisily saw pictures on the news of a car in the hallway that leads to her classroom, “her little face, she just turned pale,” Dixon said.

IRS replaces official WASHINGTON (AP) — A day after she refused to answer questions at a congressional hearing, Lois Lerner was replaced Thursday as director of the Internal Revenue Service division that oversaw agents who targeted tea party groups.

Danny Werfel, the agency’s new acting commissioner, told IRS employees in an email that he had selected a new acting head of the division, staying within the IRS to find new leadership.

Ken Corbin, a 27-year IRS veteran, will be the new acting director of the agency’s exempt organizations division. Corbin currently is a deputy director in the wage and investment division, where he oversees 17,000 workers responsible for processing 172 million individual and business tax returns, Werfel said.

Werfel’s email Thursday

made no mention of Lerner.

But a congressional aide who was briefed on the matter said Lerner was placed on administrative leave. The aide spoke on condition of anonymity because a personnel matter was involved.

Lerner is the IRS official who first publicly disclosed on May 10 that IRS agents had been targeting tea party and other conservative groups for additional scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status.

At the time she apologized on behalf of the IRS, but it wasn’t enough to stop a firestorm of criticism from the White House and Congress.

Lerner also provided one of the most electric moments since the controversy erupted when she unwaveringly — but briefly — defended herself before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Wednesday.

Daughter Lovina will have her ninth birthday on Saturday, May 18.

She is excited about that and is having her school friends over on Monday, May 20 for a sleepover.

She already has the evening planned. How could nine years have passed so quickly? We had only been living in Michigan for eight weeks before she was delivered by emergency csection three weeks before her due date. I didn’t even have a doctor here in Michigan yet, so we had some anxious moments. God once again had His protecting hand over us.

Our sympathy goes to Arlene from Dayton, Va. She was here for a visit last fall along with her parents, uncle, aunt, and cousin Sharon. Sharon is a penpal with daughter Elizabeth.

Arlene was married on April 10 to Aaron. On April 30, Arlene found her husband had passed away in his sleep. How shocking this had to be for her and everyone in the community. May God

give her strength and comfort to go on through this trial in her life.

but progress can be accomplished. Continue to include your older son in all family activities, even if it’s just dinner out at a local family restaurant.

Your three sons and you will have a chance to discuss things together as a family. Family interaction is important and helps the family to understand each other and creates a family bond that is vital in your situation especially.

The three of you, (you, your husband and your oldest son) also need to have a heart-to-heart talk to explain why you wish your son to avoid his illegal behaviors and point out what some of the consequences of his behavior might be. At all costs, do not argue with him, but listen and learn from his comments.

Never give up on your son. If things become troubling for him in the future, you will have made progress if he turns to his parents for advice.

Always remember that this young man will always be your son, and you

Dear Readers: Women should have a mamm o gram.

Ta l k w i t h y o u r gynecologist or doctor Hints about from a t what Heloise a g e y o u Heloise Cruse should start getting one. When you go for the exam, here are some hints from the American Cancer Society on what to do that day: • Have the dates of your previous mammograms and locations where they were done (if going to a different facility).

• Don’t wear deodorant, perfume or dusting powder. Some ingredients can interfere with the mammogram and show up as white spots.

• You will be asked to undress from the waist up, so dress accordingly.

• Tell the facility of any symptoms you may be having and if you have breast implants.

Try to schedule your mammograms around the same time every year so you don’t forget.

How about your birthday (a gift to yourself for good health), the beginning of spring or something as simple as “May can be mammogram month”?

— Heloise P.S.: A personal note to women who should have a mammogram and for whatever reason haven’t: Please go! Five minutes (or less) is all it takes!

ANOTHER CARABINER IDEA Dear Heloise: Here is another hint about carabiners. We were worried about our new dog getting away when getting her in and out of the car. We asked ourselves, “What would Heloise do?” The answer is a carabiner attached to the leash and the headrest post. Having a good grip of the leash before we release the carabiner gives us peace of mind. — Cathy R., Omaha, Neb. It can be tricky, especially if you have a big dog! Woof, woof. — Heloise TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: My family and I go on many road trips, and with a family of four, the laundry really piles up. If we are staying at a hotel/motel that has laundry facilities, I have started doing a few loads while there. It saves me a lot of time by not having to do so many loads when we get home. — Felicia in Utah

Bennett selected as 40 Chances Fellow HOUSTON — Meghan Bennett, of Houston, has been selected as a 40 Chances F e l l o w.

40 The Chances Fellow program was creBennett ated as a partnerbetween the ship Howard G. Buffett Foundation’s 40 Chances awareness campaign and Agriculture Future of America. The 40 Chances awareness campaign asks what each person will do with the 40 Chances — or the approximately 40 productive years — in his or her adult life to make a positive impact on the world.

The 40 Chances Fellows program was created last November when the foundation presented AFA with a

grant sponsoring 40 of the 2012 freshman delegates to attend the next three years of AFA Leaders Conference. Students applied and were interviewed as part of a competitive selection process. Bennett and the other 40 Chances Fellows were chosen based on their desire and potential to impact global food security issues.

Bennett is studying agricultural communications and journalism at The Ohio State University.

Inspired by this grant, AFA has expanded the program to provide additional opportunities to Bennett and the other fellows, based on AFA’s four primary programmatic pillars: self-assessment, communication, managing change and life-long learning. Components of the 40 Chances Fellows program include a leader development portfolio, value-added in-

ternships, interaction with the Foundation and the option of an international capstone experience. Over the course of the four years, Bennett and the other students will be closely mentored

by AFA staff as well as other industry professionals.

The 40 Chances Fellows will spend extensive time exploring agriculture and food related issues, especially related to addressing world hunger. As the agriculture industry is faced with feeding more people with fewer resources, this next generation of agriculture leaders has many challenges and opportunities. The program’s objective is to give Bennett and this group of student leaders an edge when it comes time to equipping graduate, them to make significant contributions to agriculture and food related issues.

Council makes decision on chief’s job - for now patrol will be handled by the Sheriff ’s Office. The contract will be reviewed by council in three to four months and a decision made then as to whether the contract will be continued or a new search started for a police chief.

In addition to contracting for law enforcement, the village will advertise for a new maintenance worker position. Council feels it is important to hire a second employee as soon as possible who has or will obtain a water and wastewater license.

Village residents who need law enforcement

assistance within the village should call 911 for emergencies or 4981111 for non-emergency assistance. Residents who have questions concerning law enforcement within the village may call the village offices at 526-4436.

BULLETIN BOARD

Food bank needs cooling unit LIMA — The West Food Bank’s Ohio (WOFB) industrial refrigeration units that cool its freezer and refrigerator are almost 30 years old and are in need of replacement, officials of the organization said.

The cost for replacement is estimated at $120,000. The freezer holds roughly 11 semi truckloads of frozen foods and the refrigerator, five semi truckloads of perishables.

“We are looking for individuals, corporations, or others interested in sponsoring this project. There was a time in our history when we were very limited in what refrigerated and frozen food donations we could accept due to a lack of freezer and cooler space, which is not a situation that we can afford to return to. Keeping these units operational is absolutely critical in our ability to meet the needs of our member agencies through being able to accept frozen and other perishable food donations, literally, by the truckload, never having to turn down a donation due to lack of space” said Gary Bright, CEO. WOFB serves more than 175 programs administered through the agencies, shelters, meal sites and pantries in Allen, Auglaize, Hancock, Hardin, Mercer, Paulding, Putnam, Seneca, Shelby, VanWert, and Wyandot counties.

Trails Day June 1 in Lockington LOCKINGTON — The Miami and Erie Canal Corridor Association has announced that it will celebrate the American Hiking Society’s National Trails Day June 1 at the Lockington Reserve at 10 a.m.

The local organization will recognize the rerouting and clearing of a 1 1/2mile section of the canal towpath trail. The original stone mile marker 101 and the original, hand-laid stone aqueduct over Fox Creek are in this section.

Clearing the section involved the removal of hundreds of feet of hog fence, trees and shrubs and grading the footpath. The work was done by a work party of the Buckeye Trail Association.

The section of towpath will be open for hiking June 1.

For directions to the reserve, visit www.shelbycopark.org/lockington.html.

New Bremen teacher retires to take up post at college in Zhenjiang

BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@civitasmedia.com MINSTER — Angie Niemeyer and her husband, Tom, of Minster, traveled to Europe eight years ago.

The sixth-grade teacher didn’t want to go back home.

A visit wasn’t long enough to immerse herself in the various cultures she encountered.

That’s when the seeds were sown in her thought about going abroad for an extended period of time. But it wasn’t until a few years ago that she started to seriously consider how to make such an adventure happen.

This August, the newly retired couple will pack their bags and head to China, where Angie will teach conversational English to college students.

“We heard about this program with Oxford Seminars,” she said. “They had an introductory seminar at Ohio State and we went in January 2011 and January 2012.”

The company, based in California, trains people to teach English to speakers of other languages in foreign countries. Angie enrolled in its 100-hour course.

“Forty hours was three weekends in Indianapolis.

Sixty hours of class was online,” she said. “Then Oxford sent my resume to their contacts.”

She did some Internet research herself to look for a job abroad but decided that she would rather trust the Oxford staff to help her land a position.

“I felt safe going with Oxford,” she said. What followed were Skyped interviews with recruiters in Tunisia.

“They wanted me to teach right near the border of Libya and I didn’t want to be there,” Angie said. “I had a Skype interview set up for a place in Moscow, but then I got the China offer, so I canceled it.”

Her China discussions were all by email. She and Tom will spend 10 months in Zhenjiang, where Angie will teach conversational English to students in Zhenjiang College.

“I liked the fact that it was a college and it would be older students,” she said.

She has spent the last 12 years teaching sixth-graders, two with the Auglaize County Educational Service Center working with challenged students and the last 10 at New Bremen Local Schools. Her first career, which spanned 25 years, was as an interior designer. She will retire from public school when classes end next week.

Tom retired in late April after 30 years as the Auglaize County juvenile probation officer.

Angie said the highlight of her career in New Bremen was the YouTube video her students created on saluting the flag.

“The students communicated with the Cincinnati Reds and the Reds changed their announcement before each game to say, ‘Put your hand over your heart,’” she said.

She is proud that 100 percent of her language arts students of the last two years have passed the Ohio Achievement Test. But she’s ready to put all behind to face the challenge of her new position. It will offer a lot of opportunities for culture shock: The Niemeyers will move from a village of 2,806 to a

The only thing that really worries her is staying healthy. She fears the food will sicken them.

She’s looking forward to learning a new language and making new friends, to finding their way around, to making Zhenjiang feel like home.

They plan to fly there with only carry-on luggage: a backpack and a rollaboard.

“The challenge is getting by with as little as we can,” Angie said. “We’ll just wear the same thing all the time. No one knows us, right?”

Tom thinks the trip sounds intriguing, but he admits that it has been Angie who has made it all happen.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an 87-year-old man, healthy except for a diagnosis of prostate cancer. I was treated with Lupron in 2010 and again in 2012, and my PSA level is almost zero.

My problem is hot flashes. I get them every hour, 24 hours a day. The sensation travels up my feet to my whole body, which gets soaking wet. I carry a hand towel with me constantly. The sensation lasts about 10 minutes. I asked my doctor about it, and his reply was, “Would you rather have cancer or hot flashes?” Is there anything I can do to stop these? They are wearing me down. — M.J. ANSWER: Hot flashes occur when sex hormones are suddenly

stopped. In your case, the cancer drug Lupron prevents your body from making testosterone. For women with hot flashes around the time of the menopause, it’s ovaries’ inability to make estrogen that leads to the impaired regulation of the blood vessels in the skin, which is felt as a hot flash.

In both cases, there are treatments with hormones and with non-hormone drugs.

The hormone most commonly used for men treated for prostate cancer is progesterone.

Non-hormone treatments include the antidepressant venlafaxine and the neurology drug gabapentin. These relieve symptoms for many men without interfering with the cancer treatment.

There is non-drug treatment. One small study found acupuncture to be effective.

OF THE

PAST

100 years May 24, 1913 Word from Calgary, Canada, today indicate that a dislocated neck caused the death of Luther McCarty in his boxing bout with Arthur Pelkey in that city. This was the information given out following an autopsy conducted. It was first thought a blow over the heart was responsible for his death. Shortly after the contest began McCarty received a sharp jab to the jaw that sent his head back quickly. It did not appear to be a particularly damaging blow and McCarty was on his feet for a half-minute afterwards. A clot on the brain led physicians to the conclusion that the dislocated neck was responsible. McCarty’s body will be shipped to Piqua for burial services a week from today.

Library hosts POW reunion CLASSIFIEDS YORBA LINDA, Calif. (AP) — U.S. Navy Lt. Mike McGrath was just 27 years old, with a wife and two toddler sons in the U.S., when he was shot down and taken prisoner on his 179th bombing mission during the Vietnam War. McGrath spent almost six years in North Vietnamese prisons, enduring torture and beatings before he was released in the spring of 1973 with nearly 600 men whose plight united a nation otherwise bitterly divided by the drawn-out war.

On Thursday, McGrath and 200 of those men, almost all of them former pilots, will reunite for a three-day celebration at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library & Museum that coincides with the 40th anniversary of a star-studded White House dinner hosted by President Nixon to honor their sacrifice.

At the time, Nixon was embroiled in Watergate, but the former prisoners — now in their 60s and 70s — credit him with their freedom. Nixon resigned a little more than a year after the dinner as he faced near-certain impeachment.

“He was a hero to us. He will always be revered by us as a group because he got us home, and we didn’t know how we were going to get home,” said retired U.S. Marine Capt. Orson Swindle, who spent six years and four months in Hanoi prison camps.

Reminding Americans of that legacy — and not Watergate — will be front-and-center this weekend at the POW reunion,

which begins Thursday with a motorcade and military flyover, a wreath-laying ceremony and tours of a special museum exhibit that focuses on the POWs’ homecoming.

The private Richard Nixon Foundation, which is hosting the event, has also recreated, down to the menu, the elaborate black-tie dinner that the president hosted for the POWs and their spouses 40 years ago this weekend. This weekend’s special POW exhibit includes White House staff notes about the dinner that stressed the psychological importance of a menu of sirloin steak, fingerling potatoes and strawberry mousse because “many POWs dreamed of good American food constantly” while in captivity.

The notes also suggest Nixon crack a joke about banning turnips and parsnips from the menu, foods the captives learned to hate.

For Nixon, the dissonance between the POWs’ adulation and the mounting Watergate crisis was almost too much. In a private moment after the formal dinner, according to his memoirs, he asked his family if he should resign.

“As I sat before the fire, listening to the sounds of music and laughter coming up from downstairs, I felt that this was one of the greatest nights of my life,” he wrote.

“The contrast between the splendid lift of this night and the dreary drain of Watergate suddenly struck me with an almost

physical force.”

POWs who attended the event, however, recall only the thrill of meeting the president, rubbing shoulders with movie stars and dancing to a live band until 2 a.m.

The star-studded event included some of the most famous celebrities of the day, from Bob Hope to John Wayne to Sammy Davis Jr., and Irving Berlin brought the men to tears with his rendition of “God Bless America.”

“The president and his wife said goodnight at midnight, but he said, ‘You can dance all night long,” recalled McGrath, who later became a captain and eventually retired from the Navy in 1987 after 24 years as an officer.

“What an evening, to dance until the band quits and have free run of the White House.”

The glamour was a far cry from what McGrath and his fellow captives endured in North Vietnamese prison camps. McGrath was shot down by anti-aircraft fire on June 30, 1967, after dropping bombs on a bridge. He ejected but fractured his back, dislocated a knee and dislocated and broke his left arm in the crash.

His captors tortured him for the first two weeks, he recalled, and used his injuries to their advantage as they pulled his arms behind his back and over his head in excruciatingly painful positions. The torture dislocated his other arm and elbow before his captors decided they would get nothing from him and stopped the beatings, he said.

Haak concluded the ceremony challenging the young adults to be an example.

“Set an example for others in your speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity.” He expressed the hope that each one has become a better person as a result of their time at Upper Valley Career Center and concluded with the familiar phrase, “Class dismissed,” said Haak.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, May 25, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Travel plans might be delayed or canceled today. Alternatively, an unexpected trip suddenly might fall in your lap. (It could go either way.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Keep an eye on your bank account today, because unexpected events might occur (like an overdraft). On the upside, you might receive a gift or a favor from someone. Who knows?

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You can expect to meet someone unusual today, perhaps a real character.

Or possibly, someone you know well will do something bizarre or unexpected.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your home routine will be interrupted today. This could come from the introduction of new technology or perhaps technological breakdowns. Staff shortages or someone new on the scene might make waves.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a mildly accident-prone day for your kids, so be extra vigilant. Unexpected flirtations might make your heart go pitter-patter. Sports events might have surprising turnarounds.

Curious day!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Stock the fridge because surprise company might drop by. Or your home routine will be interrupted because small appliances will break down or minor breakages will occur. Oops.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Be careful of everything you say or do today, because this is a mildly accident-prone day for your sign. However, you will meet stimulating situations and new faces!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) If shopping today, count your change and keep your receipts. You might find money; you might lose money. Be vigilant.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You feel restless today. You want to do something different, because you feel that you need a change of scenery.

Quite likely, this actually will happen.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Something hidden or behind the scenes might force you to take a detour today. Stay light on your feet, and pack a lunch.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Friends will surprise you today. However, some of you will meet someone new who amazes you. (A real character.) In fact, this new acquaintance might make you rethink where you're headed.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Something unexpected might occur today in your relationships with bosses, parents and authority figures.

Hopefully it's a pleasant surprise. If not, don't be lippy. Just let this surprise pass.

YOU BORN TODAY You are resourceful and adaptable. If one thing doesn't work, you'll try another until you succeed. You always fight for what you want. You're aware of trends in society, but personally, you have your own code of conduct because you value your individuality. In the year ahead, something you've been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish in order to create room for something new.

Loramie’s Guillozet Player of the Year Fort Loramie pitcher Seth Guillozet garnered the most votes from the coaches in the All-County balloting recently, earning him Player of the Year honors.

Guillozet finished with a 7-1 record and a 1.03 earned run average for the Redskins this season and led the area in innings pitched. In addition, he hit .342 at the plate.

He was one of four Redskins named to the first or second teams.

Zach Brandewie was also named to the first team and sophomores Grant Olberding and Aaron Boerger were both named to the second team.

Russia also had four players named, but three were named to the first team in seniors Trevor Sherman and Treg Francis, and junior Bailey Francis. Junior Cole McEldowney was named to the second team.

Sherman was the second-highest vote-getter after an outstanding season that saw him hit .380, lead the team in runs scored with

30, and do well on the mound, posting a 1.31 ERA in 45 innings, with a 5-2 record.

Bailey Francis led the Raiders in hitting this season with a .418 average, and led the team in RBIs. Treg Francis was the top pitcher, with a 5-1 mark and a 0.91 ERA heading into this week’s play.

Cole McEldowney was a secondteam pick. He led the Raiders in hitting during the regular season at .418.

Loramie’s Brandewie led the Redskins in hitting at .368.

Botkins had three players named, one on the first team and two on the second.

Evan Dietz of Botkins was the first-team pick from the Trojans.

He hit .342 this season, drove in 23 runs and scored 20.

Named to the second team from the Trojans were Christian Hoskins and Roger Miller. Hoskins, just a sophomore, led the Trojans in hitting with a .463 average, and in home runs with three. His average was also the best in the league

this season.

Miller was 5-2 on the mound with a 2.79 ERA. Also named to the first team was Anna’s Josh Robinson, third in the voting behind Guillozet and Sherman. He finished with a 5-3 mark and a 2.57 ERA in 512/3 innings, and also hit .357.

Teammate Luke Cummings, who hit .409 to lead the Rockets this season, was also a first-team selection.

And Fairlawn’s Brad Caudill rounded out the first team.

Also named to the second team were Fairlawn senior Zach Rogers, two players from Jackson Center in senior Alex Meyer and sophomore Gavin Wildermuth, and Houston junior Jamie Riffell.

Riffell had an excellent year for the Wildcats, hitting .431, secondbest in the County.

In all, there were six players who repeated as All-County this season, including Guillozet, Sherman, Dietz, T. Francis, Rogers and Meyer.

There are a lot of familiar names on this year’s All-County Softball team, including the one taking the top honor.

For the second year in a row, Fort Loramie pitcher Paige Ordean has been named the County Player of the Year after being the top votegetter among the coaches.

Ordean was the main reason the Lady Redskins won the County title again. She posted a 15-5 record with a 1.05 earned run average. She struck out 139 batters in 1261/3 innings, and walked only 32 all season. Opposing hitters batted just .167 against her.

She also got it done at the plate, hitting .354 with a team-high 29 RBIs. She was one of nine girls to make the All-County team for the second year in a row, and three others made the first or second teams this season after being on the honorable mention list last season.

Loramie had three players named to the first team and two more to the second.

Tigers qualify for regional ST. PARIS — The Versailles boys 3200 relay team finished first in the Division II District Track Meet at Graham High School Thursday night, thereby earning a spot in next week’s regional meet.

Finals were held in the 3200 relay and several field events.

Versailles also had a qualifier in the discus. Alex Stucke finished in third place with a

distance of 130 feet, 9 inches to advance to the regional.

The meet will conclude with the rest of the field events as well as the running events on Saturday at Graham. The field event finals will begin at 2 p.m. and the running event finals at 3.

The Versailles girls do not compete at Graham. The Lady Tigers are Division III and compete at West Milton.

Also on the first team were Darian Rose, who hit .458, and Elizabeth Barhorst, who led the team in hitting at .500.

Second-team picks from Loramie were Ashley Ordean, younger sister of Paige who hit .375, and Danielle Wehrman, who hit .291 and scored 25 times.

Houston put three players on the first team and one on the second.

Nicolette Holthaus was second to Ordean in the voting after a spectacular year. She hit .433 and had 42 hits, just one shy of the school record. She also tied the school record for doubles with 13 and for runs scored with 38. In addition, in 108 at-bats, she did not strike out a single time. She also had six triples.

Also named to the first team from Houston was sophomore Hannah Trent, who belted six home runs this season and hit .375, and freshman Macey Stang, who hit .375 and also had a 1.44 ERA on the mound with three saves.

Joining them on the first team were Chloe Egbert of Anna, Olivia

Monnin of Russia and Jill Schneider of Botkins.

Egbert hit .429, Schneider .339 and Monnin a team-high .452 for the Lady Raiders. She led the area in RBIs this season.

Houston’s Kayla New was named to the second team. She posted an 11-4 record and a 2.07 ERA this season.

Also on the second team were Hannah Meyer and Meredith Himmeger of Jackson Center, Amanda Rickert and Allison Harris of Anna, and Sara Young and Alexa Counts of Russia.

Rickert was the County’s leading hitter at .493. Meyer led Jackson with a .432 average and Himmeger was at .408. Young hit .388 for Russia and Counts .354, and Anna’s Harris hit .392.

Paige Ordean, Holthaus, Rose, Egbert, Monnin, Schneider, Meyer, Wehrman and Counts were all repeats to the first or second teams.

Trent, Barhorst and Rickert all moved up from the honorable mention list last season.

stayed on serve, leaving it at 6-6 and forcing a tiebreaker. The Cavaliers trailed from the start in the tiebreaker, losing 7-4.

“There were a lot of momentum swings out there,” Bennett, who followed in his sister Meghan’s shoes in playing a match on centre court.

After Bennett held serve to start the second set, things went downhill, with the Seven Hills duo winning the next five games and finishing the match off at 6-2.

“We just fell apart,” Bennett said. “And you can’t give a team like that, that many chances.”

Sherman agreed.

“They didn’t play bad,” she said. “But, Seven Hills is a really good team. We played a great first set. When you them openings like we did in the second set, they are going to take advantage of it. And we will have another tough match Saturday.”

And the duo will be ready.

We have to win twice,” Bennett said.

And Shroyer quickly followed with, “We will” as they headed off the court and out of a brief shower that broke out after the match.

They already did the work to give themselves that opportunity Thursday morning.

MASON — The Lehman doubles team of Pierce Bennett and Mitchell Shroyer accomplished the biggest battle Thursday in the Division II District Boys Tennis tournament at the Lindner Family Tennis Center near Kings Island.

Which means their quarterfinal loss to the Seven Hills duo of Henry Head and Sam Ellis of Seven Hills by a 7-6 (74), 6-2 score didn’t end their season.

Lehman had opened the day with a stressfree 6-3, 6-3 win over Robbie Weinstein and Alex Hemm of Miami Valley — which means they will return Saturday, needing two wins to secure the fifth and final spot in the state tournament.

The Cavaliers will open the day playing the Oakwood doubles team of Filip Polenakovik and Alex Rank.

“When you go in knowing they are taking five (to state), you have to in that first match to get in the back draw and we did that,” Bennett said.

That opening win came in impressive fashion.

After taking the first set, Lehman got two early breaks in the second set and cruised from

there.

“We played a really solid match,” Bennett said.

Lehman coach Kristy Sherman agreed.

“They played real well,” she said. “They played well all day. The Miami Valley team is a good team.”

Against Head and Ellis, things got interesting really quick.

There was a break after the first point of the third game when the Seven Hills players both swung at a ball and one ended up with a cut over the eye.

And the first set was one that could have gone either way.

“There were a lot of key points we had on our racket,” Shroyer said.

“We just weren’t able to finish.”

One key came with the match on a serve at 3-2 and Lehman getting a chance at a break point.

Seven Hills scored the next three points, then broke Lehman to go up 4-3.

“You never know (if Lehman had gotten the break),” Sherman said.

“There are a lot of whatifs in ever match. There were a lot of close games and key points where we just didn’t quite finish.”

Bennett and Shroyer answered right back with a break of their own and the match

In the Clutch

• Miguel Cabrera blasted three home runs on Sunday Night Baseball, and you wouldn’t know it by watching ESPN highlights, but Texas actually won the game, not Cabrera. However, Miggy is having another special season. Currently he is one home run away from once again leading the Triple Crown categories. No player has ever won back-to-back Triple Crowns. In fact, no player has won two categories the year after winning it.

• James Shields continues to get saddled with tough losses for Kansas City. He’s gone eight innings in his last three starts, given up a total of five runs (four earned) and is 0-2 during that time. Shields has pitched eight innings or more five times this season, giving up three runs or less each start. For his efforts, the team has rewarded him with an 0-3 record in those games.

• Tyler Chatwood of the Colorado Rockies has made three starts this season, with Colorado victorious in all three. Part of the reason is Chatwood’s 2.55 ERA. Another factor is that the Rox have scored a total of 28 runs in the three games. But Chatwood has been rather handy with the wood. In four at-bats with runners in scoring position and two outs, he has produced four hits and four RBIs.

• Going into his start against the Tigers last Thursday night, Yu Darvish of Texas had not allowed the first batter of any inning to score this season. In fact, just 10 of 53 had even made it the first 90 feet. That changed in the third inning when Don Kelly of Detroit homered off of the Texas righthander. Detroit shortstop Jhonny Peralta led off the fourth inning with a homer as well.

Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Miggy continues to separate himself from the rest of the league, much like Barry Bonds did 10 years ago. With four hits, including three home runs, Cabrera raised his major-league leading batting average to .387. He batted .429 with seven RBIs and seven runs for the week.

Justin Masterson, Cleveland The surging Indians have won eight of Masterson’s 10 starts this season, scoring a total of three runs in the two losses. The Cleveland ace pitched a complete game shutout over the Yankees last week, and followed up with seven shutout innings in a 6-0 win over Seattle. For the week, he threw 16 innings, gave up seven hits, five walks and struck out 20.

Joey Votto, Cincinnati Quietly and consistently, the Reds’ first baseman shows why he is the best hitter in the National League. He hit .583 last week with a pair of home runs, five RBIs and seven runs.

He drew five walks to go with his 14 hits over the six games.

Homer Bailey, Cincinnati After a complete game win over Miami, Bailey tossed seven shutout innings at Philadelphia in the Reds’ 3-2 loss. Over his 16 innings last week, Bailey allowed 11 hits, a walk and struck out 13.

Archie Bradley, RHP, Arizona After five tremendous starts this summer at Single-A, Bradley has been even better at Double-A with a 0.90 ERA in four outings. DoubleA opponents are batting just .169 off Bradley.

He’s given up 12 hits, walked just eight and struck out 25 in his 20.0 innings. The seventh overall pick in 2011 will turn 21 in August.

Miguel Cabrera

We hear managers refer to it frequently — timely hitting. The ability for a player to produce when his team needs him most is a valuable asset. Here are the best and worst this season hitting with runners in scoring position (RISP):

We’ve Got Next Only hard-core baseball junkies are familiar with these names now, but in a few years all baseball fans will recognize these stars. Here’s a brief look at stars of the future who have yet to make their debuts in the major leagues. This week, we’ll look at position players behind the pitchers. Next week, we’ll present the pitchers and catchers report. No doubt that first base is the thinnest position for future stars, with outfield and shortstop especially deep.

FIRST BASE Jonathan Singleton, Houston Long considered a top prospect in Philadelphia, Singleton is currently serving a suspension for a drug violation. He’s probably better suited for DH. Keon Barnum, Chicago White Sox The strong 20-year-old has prodigious power. The question will be whether he can develop consistency at the plate.

SECOND BASE Kolten Wong, St. Louis Nothing about Wong will wow you except that he is a ballplayer. Speed, bat and glove are all just a tad above average, but his instincts, will and work ethic should land him a job in the majors and keep him there a long time.

Delino DeShields, Jr., Houston Speed is his greatest asset, and the son of the former major leaguer has solid makeup and athleticism. He projects as a sturdy leadoff hitter and if his defense doesn’t cut it at second, he’ll make a solid center fielder.

Jonathan Schoop, Baltimore Originally a shortstop, Schoop can play all over the infield. Second base seems to be where the Orioles need him most.

Nick Franklin, Seattle Originally a shortstop, Franklin has split time at both middle infield positions this season. In 2010, he had 23 homers and 25 steals at Single-A Clinton.

May 28, 1951 Rising star Willie Mays of the New York Giants ends an 0-for-12 skid to start his career with his first home run. It comes off Hall of Famer Warren Spahn of the Milwaukee Braves.

.476

May 19, 1981 Jim Bibby of the Pirates gives up a leadoff single to Terry Harper of the Atlanta Braves then retires the next 27 batters for a 5-0 one-hitter. Bibby, known as a good-hitting pitcher, also adds two doubles.

.149 .369 20 13

May 20, 1985 The Indians-Brewers game at Cleveland Stadium becomes the first game of the season to be rained out. This is the first season since 1900 not to have a game postponed in April due to weather.

Pirates Tied for second-best record in NL. Giants Lost four games in which they’ve scored six runs or more.

Braves First time all season best lineup on the field together.

Nationals Sputtering offense has scored just nine runs in last six losses.

Indians Won 17 of 21, but can starting pitching hold up?

Blue Jays Batted .303 last week, but team ERA was 5.02.

Dodgers Adrian Gonzalez has 22 percent of team’s RBIs. Angels This lack of winning isn’t what Albert Pujols signed up for.

THIRD BASE Miguel Sano, Minnesota Sano turned 20 a few weeks ago and is tearing up the Florida State League with a .354 average and 23 extra-base hits including 11 homers in his first 40 games.

SHORTSTOP Francisco Lindor, Cleveland A few years ago, Lindor was the youngest player in the Futures Game. He’s considered the best defensive shortstop in the minors, and is batting .331 at Single-A. Javier Baez, Chicago Cubs While not as refined at the plate as Lindor, Baez has more power.

It will be interesting to see who eventually moves to third base, Baez or current Chicago shortstop Starlin Castro.

AP Images Xander Bogaerts, Boston If Jose Iglesias ever blossoms for Oscar Taveras (left), currently playing at Memphis, is the best hitting prospect on the horizon.

Francisco Lindor, a shortstop in the Cleveland organization, is the best defender.

Boston, Bogaerts could move to third, shifting Will Middlebrooks to first.

Wil Myers, Tampa Bay Billy Hamilton, Cincinnati Carlos Correa, Houston Outside of Jurickson Profar, Myers has Most fans are familiar with his 155 His glove is well ahead of his bat, but received more attention than anyone in steals last season.

There have been 16 games in the 2000s when a player has hit three home runs in a losing effort.

Miguel Cabrera of the Tigers did that Sunday night for the second time. Can you name the only other player to go deep three times in a loss twice since 2000?

Batting average in May for Marco Scutaro of the Giants. That leads the majors among players with at least 50 plate appearances for the month.

Teams still perfect this season when leading after six innings: Texas (23-0), the Yankees (21-0) and Cleveland (19-0).

Coincidence that all three are in first place?

Opponents batting average vs. Matt Harvey of the New York Mets this season, best in the majors.

Opponents batting average vs. Minnesota’s Vance Worley and the Angels’ Joe Blanton this season, worst in the majors.

RBIs for Jason Kipnis of Cleveland in May — most in the majors.

Home runs allowed by Matt Cain of the San Francisco Giants this season. The total leads the majors and is four more than Cain gave up in all of 2010, when he logged more than 220 innings.

TRIVIA ANSWER: Sammy Sosa of the Chicago Cubs did it twice in 2001.

• Robbie Ross of the Texas Rangers won the eighth game of his career this week. It is the most wins without a loss of any active pitcher.

Clay Rapada is also 8-0, but is pitching for Wilkes-Barre, the Yankees’ Triple-A affiliate.
