No wrongdoing Deputies cleared after internal investigation BY KATHY LEESE Two deputies with the Shelby County Sheriff ’s Office have been absolved of any wrongdoing related to a traffic stop of an Anna police officer last week. The findings were returned following an internal affairs investigation conducted by the Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff John Lenhart released findings of the investigation Tuesday. The report indicates that on May 24, Deputy Brian Dotson, while on patrol, saw a vehicle pull up to the 47 Bar and Grill in Port Jefferson at 1:30 a.m. The vehicle

stopped and Anna Patrolman Jeff Hodges got out and “looked in the business.” The men in the vehicle were reportedly wanting to eat and although the
lights were off, believed the bar was open. Dotson then “became suspicious and … initiated a traffic stop” after seeing Hodges make a U-turn in the roadway. “During the stop, it was believed that the operator of the vehicle was under the influence and was not issued a citation,” Lenhart reported. Detective Lt. James Frye and Sgt. Tim Bender of the Sheriff’s Office conducted the internal affairs probe, which Lenhart stated “reveals the deputies did perform within the scope of their duties and acted in accordance with the law.” See INVESTIGATION/Page 3A

40 years later Funky Winkerbean and its creator graying together BY THOMAS J. SHEERAN MEDINA (AP) — Like two aging baby boomers, “Funky Winkerbean” and creator Tom Batiuk have turned gray and have experienced their share of life’s ups and downs in a 40year run on the funny pages. Batiuk, 65, has morphed his characters over the years from mop-headed beatniks to graying 60-somethings, much like the changes for Batiuk, his hair over his collar in the 1970s but now graying and cut short. The story lines have changed, too, from high school hijinks and awkward teen dating moments in the early years to dealing with more adult issues like alcoholism, suicide and fighting cancer. His latest hot topic story line
during May: two boys who want to go to the high school prom together. The strip debuted in more than 70 papers on March 27, 1972, and has grown to about 400. The first strip introduced the high school-age characters, including Funky (“I’m just an average kid”) and Les (“I really want to be far out like Roland”) and issues important to teens, including meeting a girl, getting a date and dealing with acne. To Batiuk, delving back into the high school years with the gay prom issue underscores the generational changes and contemporary challenges his characters faced once he decided to let them begin aging along with Batiuk and the rest of us. “I had crossed the threshold and I had grown up and
the characters wanted to grow up too, it seemed like,” Batiuk said in an interview in his cozy and bright studio jammed with books and mementos. “Funky Winkerbean” might have a lower profile in mainstream culture than, say, “Doonesbury,” possibly because “Funky” was a gag cartoon in the early years when society was highly politicized in the Vietnam era and has become more issue-oriented since the 1990s, said industry watcher Robert Thompson of Syracuse University. Batiuk has taken Funky, Les and companions up the gym climbing rope in terror, through the ordeal of teen bullying, that first dating kiss and even Lisa’s struggle with cancer.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Wednesday congratulated Mitt Romney on securing the Republican presidential nomination, a gesture coupled with a new line of attack on the GOP challenger that portrays his economic record while governor of Massachusetts as a failure. The president called Romney and told him “he looked forward to an important and healthy debate about America’s future,” Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said. Romney’s campaign said the call was “brief and cordial.” Both men wished each other’s families well during the upcoming race. Romney’s primary win in Texas on Tuesday pushed him past the 1,144-delegate threshold he needed to claim the nomination. Obama took the formal step of congratulating his opponent even as his team looked to shift to the Massachusetts story under Romney. In a fivepage memorandum from senior Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod, the Obama camp cast Romney as poor steward of the Massachusetts economy during his 2003-2007 tenure as governor. “When it comes to Mitt Romney and his economic philosophy the facts are clear — it didn’t work then, and it won’t work now,” Axelrod wrote. Romney’s campaign, meanwhile, was bringing attention to failed stimulus projects under Obama and federal money given to green energy companies like Solyndra, a solar firm that received hundreds of millions of dollars from the government only to go bankrupt. The competing attack-lines came as Romney pivoted from a long primary slog to the Republican nomination and a new summertime window to sway voters who have not yet fully tuned into the presidential campaign.

Accident On Friday at 5:55 a.m., Sidney police responded to a report of a single vehicle accident involving a house on the 300 block of Folkerth Avenue. Police responded to 331 Folkerth Ave. and found a gray, 1991 Chevy Silverado pick-up truck owned by Susan Kleiner, 45, 211 1/2 E. North St. Kleiner was reportedly unconscious in the vehicle but was not believed to be the driver. The vehicle reportedly was headed southbound on Folkerth Avenue when it went off the right side of the road, ran up over a curb, clipped the residence at 405 Folkerth Ave. and then struck the residence at 331 Folkerth Ave. head on. According to reports, Kleiner was a passenger in the vehicle and there were possibly two other people with her. There was a large head strike on the front windshield, a bent steering column and two deep knee strikes. Kleiner had minor injuries and was transported by Sidney paramedics. Officers reportedly checked the area for anyone else who may have been in the vehicle but were unable to locate anyone. No citation was issued due to a lack of evidence of who was driving the vehicle. There were no witnesses and it is not known what time the accident occurred. The truck had severe damage.

School to provide student consumption, lunch fund balance information to parents JACKSON CENTER — During its May meeting, the Jackson Center Board of Education approved up to $12,000 for the purchase of a cafeteria/school fee online payment system capable of taking payments and providing student consumption and fund balance information to parents. The actual purchase price is likely to be lower than the allotted amount once negotiations are completed. Board members voted to align with the Shelby County Educational Service Center for the 2012-2013 school year and also approved membership in the in the Ohio High School Athletic Association for the next school year. Principals reported students passed all five OGT tests as fol-
lows: Writing, 88 percent; Reading, 82 percent; Math, 79 percent; Social Studies, 91 percent and Science, 79 percent. In addition to written reports provided to the board, Jeff Reese, high school principal, shared information on a study of advancements in the use of technology.

Frye said Dotson conducted his investigation to determine if Hodges was intoxicated. Although Hodges refused to take a breathalyzer test, which he is not required to by law, Dotson determined Hodges was not intoxicated by performing other tests. “Deputy Dotson performed a nystagmus gaze,” Lenhart stated, with Hodges showing “slight deviation,” which would not have been a reason to issue a citation for an OVI violation. The eye test looks for “jerkytype” movements that can be a sign of intoxication. A passenger in the car with Hodges was determined to be highly intoxicated. Although Hodges had been drinking at some
point prior to the stop, it was determined he was not intoxicated. Dotson reportedly conducted the three phases of an OVI stop and determined there were an insufficient number of indicators to warrant an OVI arrest, Lenhart said. He noted the determination was made by Dotson and Sgt. Scott Atwood, the shift supervisor, who was called to the scene when Dotson realized he had pulled over a police officer. Lenhart said he learned of possible problems with his deputies when he came in to work the next morning. He noted he routinely reviews tapes of traffic stops and goes to dispatch to see if there is anything he should
From Page 1 know about. “Deputy Dotson has been a deputy for 10 years and during this time has made high-profile OVI arrests of public officials and handled those investigations without prejudice, which leads us to the conclusion that had Officer Hodges been intoxicated, he would have been arrested,” Lenhart said. “Both Sgt. Atwood and Deputy Dotson followed procedures for a traffic stop involving suspected OVI violations.” “This is an unfortunate situation for both the deputies and Officer Hodges to have been involved in, but my position is to investigate all complaints against my deputies and see that they continue the high-
est degree of professionalism. I will continue to require my deputies to treat all persons with integrity, respect and fairness. I will also require them to treat all people fairly and equally regardless of stature or position,” Lenhart said. “To paraphrase President Reagan, a good sheriff should ‘trust but verify.’ This is what I set out to accomplish through the internal affairs investigation,” Lenhart said. Hodges, who was cited for making the U-turn, is expected to appear in Port Jefferson Mayor’s Court on June 7. Attempts to contact Anna Police Chief Scott Evans Monday afternoon for comment were unsuccessful.

Attorneys want inmate’s interview to be reviewed COLUMBUS (AP) — Attorneys for a condemned Ohio inmate have asked the state Supreme Court to allow a psychologist to view the parole board’s interview with the inmate as part of the clemency process. The attorneys say having the psychologist present is needed to determine the mental competency of John Eley, scheduled to die July 26 for killing a Youngstown convenience store owner in 1986. Eley’s mental competency has long been questioned but the prisoner refuses to cooperate with efforts to have him evaluated, the attorneys said in a lawsuit filed ahead of Thursday’s parole board interview. “Every attorney who has represented Mr. Eley has believed him to be mentally ill,” Eley’s federal public defenders said
in the lawsuit. “However, because of his mental illness and borderline intellectual functioning, Mr. Eley refused time and again to cooperate with experts, and has therefore never been fully diagnosed or even evaluated.” Eley, 63, was sentenced to death for the Aug. 26, 1986, fatal shooting of Ihsan Aydah, the 28-yearold owner of Sinjil Market in Youngstown. Eley shot Aydah in the head, and then, with an accomplice, stole Aydah’s wallet and money from a cash register, according to Ohio Attorney General records. Eley’s public defenders make two points: Eley’s mental competency has been questioned back to the days of his trial, and he has refused to cooperate over the years with any attempts to have him tested. Eley has also refused all mental health evaluations while on death row
FUNKY strip during the cancer story line and complained that it wasn’t funny. Himself a cancer survivor, Batiuk said Lisa’s cancer, while traumatic for a funny-page audience resistant to change, opened new opportunities for him. “After that story, I realized that I could go forward,” he said. “It sort of opened the door or me.” Such issues may depress some readers and turn away younger ones, said Charles Coletta, an instructor in pop culture at Bowling Green State University. “He’s dealing with alcoholism and people losing limbs and cancer and all at this stuff,” Coletta said. “I don’t think he’s going to be attracting lots of younger readers with this. It’s all sort of, kind of sad a little bit.” For Batiuk, though, the cartoon’s ups and downs were kind of like growing up and dealing with life. “It became more nuanced and it became more complicated,” he said. “And that’s just a lot of fun. The job became more interesting. That’s probably what drives it, gave me a chance to go into these more complicated, more interesting adult areas.” A strip lasting 40 years is notable but
ranks behind the nearly half-century of “Peanuts” or, with some interruptions, the century-plus of “Katzenjammer the Kids,” Thompson said. The strip is a “very profitable” superstar, said Brendan Burford, comics editor at the strip’s King Features Syndicate, who added that the aging of Funky has sharpened Batiuk’s storytelling. “He’s been there and he’s traveled that path himself. He’s able to provide perspective from different generations,” Burford said. Like Baby Boomers facing wrinkles, Social Security and worse, there’s no turning back for Batiuk’s minions. “That’s a funny thing,” he says, turning the idea over. “Once you’ve taken your characters to a certain point and they’ve experienced certain things, it sort of trivializes that experience if you go back and regress them and go back to a more childish time.” Aging opens another door for Batiuk: What happens if? Batiuk wouldn’t criticize end-of-career cartoonists who have passed their strips onto relatives or collaborators, but said he doubted he would do it. “I haven’t put anything in place like that,

Man fined for littering TOLEDO (AP) — A driver who stopped to give a couple of bucks to a panhandler in a wheelchair at a busy freeway interchange was handed a $344 littering ticket by a Cleveland police officer after the cash fell to the ground. The driver, who’s now fighting the ticket, said he can’t believe that his attempt to help someone in need might cost him a lot more. “It’s turned into a big hassle,” John Davis, of Elyria, told WJW-TV after he pleaded not guilty to the minor misdemeanor Tuesday in court. He is due back in court Thursday, when he hopes the ticket will be thrown out. The panhandler was at a busy intersection during rush hour on May 17, and it’s illegal to solicit or give money at the side of a roadway, Cleveland police said. “It’s a huge safety issue,” said police spokeswoman Jennifer Ciaccia. “The main issue was where it occurred.” Davis could have been ticketed for donating to a panhandler, which carries a smaller fine of about $160, but instead was cited for littering from a vehicle. Ciaccia said she could not talk about why the officer handed out the littering ticket now that the issue is in court. The man in the wheelchair was not cited for panhandling, but he has been many times in the past at the same spot and along other roadways, Ciaccia said. Davis could not be reached for comment Wednesday. There was no current home telephone listing and court records did not list whether he has an attorney. The city’s code on littering says occupants of motor vehicles can’t throw, drop, discard or deposit litter onto any street, road or highway, regardless of the intent.

Journalist freed SAN ISIDRO, Colombia (AP) — A French journalist freed by leftist rebels Wednesday said he had no complaints about his captivity other than its 33-day duration and lamenting that Colombia’s war is an “invisible conflict” where the poor kill the poor. Romeo Langlois said he was not embittered, but he criticized the rebels for using his capture for propaganda purposes. They freed him on their movement’s 48th anniversary on a specially built stage, hanging pro-peace banners in this remote southern hamlet and organizing a barbecue.

Bomb kills NATO service member KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A homemade bomb killed a member of the U.S.-led NATO in southern coalition Afghanistan on Wednesday, hours after the Taliban attacked a hilltop police post in the north, killing eight Afghan policemen, officials said. The NATO death raised the number of coalition troops who have been killed in Afghanistan this year to 173. The coalition did not provide any further details about Wednesday’s attack. The policemen who were
attacked by the Taliban on Tuesday evening in Badakhsan province’s Warduj district waged a three-hour battle to retake their post, killing six militants in the process, said the provincial governor’s spokesman, Abdul Maruf Rasikh. Two policemen and 11 militants were wounded, he said. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement sent to reporters by the group’s spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid. Badakhshan province is
Testing to be expanded WASHINGTON (AP) — The government is expanding E. coli testing in some raw meat, a move expected to prevent more people from contracting the bacteria that can cause severe illness or death. Starting Monday, the meat industry will have to test beef trimmings for six new strains of E. coli that have been linked to a growing number of illnesses. Until now, the meat industry has been required to test for just one strain of the pathogen, known as E. coli O157:H7. That strain was identified after an outbreak at Jack in the Box fast-food restaurants killed four children. But illnesses from that strain have decreased over the years while more people have been sickened by other strains found in foods such as lettuce and ground beef.

A musical evacuation POCATELLO, Idaho (AP) — Authorities say a package containing a magazine with a musical device, similar to those in greeting cards, prompted the evacuation of a federal courthouse in southeastern Idaho. Police determined the package did not pose a threat. U.S. Marshals notified local authorities when they found the suspicious package Tuesday morning during a regular search of the Pocatello courthouse building. Between 30 and 40 people were evacuated, and a bomb squad sent a robot into the building to handle the package.
relatively peaceful but has experienced periodic attacks. Two foreign doctors and their three Afghan colleagues were kidnapped last week in Badakhshan. Elsewhere in Afghanistan, three district government employees were killed by a roadside bomb as they were traveling to work Wednesday morning in eastern Nangarhar province’s Deh Bala district, said district chief Asrarullah. On Tuesday, the U.S.-led NATO force announced it had
killed al-Qaida’s second-highest leader in the country in an airstrike in eastern Kunar province. Sakhr al-Taifi, also known as Mushtaq and Nasim, was responsible for commanding foreign insurgents in Afghanistan and directing attacks against NATO and Afghan forces, the alliance said. He frequently traveled between Afghanistan and Pakistan, carrying out commands from senior al-Qaida leadership and ferrying in weapons and fighters.

Bush is back in D.C. WASHINGTON (AP) — This is a little awkward. President Barack Obama can’t seem to stop bad-mouthing the record of former President George W. Bush. But on Thursday, Obama is going to welcome predecessor and his proudly preside as Bush’s image and legacy are enshrined at the White House forever. Obama and first lady Michelle Obama will join Bush and his wife, Laura, as their official portraits are unveiled. The incumbent is keeping up a presidential tradition typically defined by cheer and graciousness, but not without some uneasiness. Hardly a day goes by without Obama or his aides talking about the mess they inherited — meaning, from Bush. It was just one week ago that Obama, revving up campaign donors, turned Bush into a punch line.

A SYRIAN woman, cries as she carries her injured son who was shot in his hand by the Syrian border guard when they were crossing a river from Syria to Lebanon, at the northern Lebanese-Syrian border town of Wadi Khaled, in Akkar, north Lebanon, Wednesday. U.N. observers have discovered 13 bound corpses in eastern Syria, many of them apparently shot execution-style, the monitoring mission said Wednesday. The announcement comes days after a massacre in Houla, in the central Homs province, which killed more than 100 people and prompted worldwide condemnation against the regime of President Bashar Assad.
13 corpses found BEIRUT (AP) — Thirteen bound corpses, many apparently shot execution-style, have been discovered in eastern Syria, U.N. observers said Wednesday, days after the massacre of more than 100 people provoked international outrage and the coordinated expulsion of Syrian diplomats from world capitals. The latest killings happened in Deir el-Zour province, where the bodies were found late Tuesday blindfolded with their hands tied behind their backs. A statement by the U.N. mission said some appeared to have been shot in the head at close range. A video posted online by activists showed the men lying face down, pools of dried blood under their heads. The head of the U.N. observer team, Maj. Gen. Robert Mood, said he was “deeply disturbed by this appalling and inexcusable act.” The fresh killings underline
violence that seems to be spiraling out of control as the uprising against President Bashar Assad that began in March 2011 has morphed into an armed insurgency. Activists say as many as 13,000 people have been killed since the revolt began. In the wake of last weekend’s massacre in Houla, in which nearly half of the 108 dead were children, the United States and Western nations expelled Syrian diplomats in protest — a move Syria’s state-run media denounced Wednesday as “unprecedented hysteria.” The massacre drew continued harsh criticism Wednesday, even from Syria’s closest ally Iran, with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad saying that anyone responsible for the killings should be punished. “I’m not excluding anyone from this responsibility,” Ahmadinejad told France 24 TV station.
SEATTLE (AP) — A gunman who opened fire at a Seattle cafe Wednesday, killing three people, critically wounding two others and setting off a citywide manhunt apparently shot himself as officers closed in on him, authorities said. He was listed in critical condition at a local hospital. Police searching for the suspect also had to respond to another fatal shooting near the city’s downtown. They say a man killed a woman in an apparent carjacking and fled in a black SUV. Authorities said late Wednesday they believe one man was responsible for both attacks. “At this time, we feel pretty confident that we have the suspect in both cases,” said Assistant Seattle Police Chief Nick Metz. The latest spasm of deadly gun violence to hit the city worried Seattle’s leaders and prompted police to consider in-
Sex offenders fight for right to use Facebook INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Registered sex offenders who have been banned from social networking websites are fighting back in the nation’s courts, successfully challenging many of the restrictions as infringements on free speech and their right to participate in common online discussions. The legal battles pit public outrage over sex crimes against cherished guarantees of individual freedom and the far-reaching communication changes brought by Facebook, LinkedIn and dozens of other sites. “It’s going to be really, really hard, I think, to write something that will achieve the state’s purpose in protecting children online but not be restrictive enough to be unconstitutional,” said Carolyn Atwell-Davis, director of legislative affairs at the Virginia-based National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Courts have long allowed
OBAMA to present himself as a worthy replacement for Obama who can help revitalize a slowmoving economy, the most important issue for voters. The country is “just beginning a general election, we’ve gone through a primary … not a lot of people focus time on the characteristics of a new candidate like myself, and people will get to know me better. My guess is they’re going to get to know more about me than they’d like to by the time we’re finished,” Romney said in an interview on Fox News that aired Wednesday but was taped over the weekend. For months, Obama and his allies have signaled plans to target Romney’s Massachusetts record, with advisers noting that the state’s economy lagged in job creation and saw an increase in debt while he was governor. The critique builds upon a line of attack this month of Romney’s record at private equity firm Bain
creasing patrols in high-crime areas. The three deaths bring the number of homicides so far this year to 19, compared with 21 in all of last year. Gunfire erupted late Wednesday morning at Cafe Racer, a restaurant and music venue north of the University of Washington. The gunman was described as a man in his 30s wearing dark clothes. Police released two photos from inside the cafe, apparently taken from a security camera. One shows a man walking into the establishment, with a woman nearby reading a book. Another photo shows stools overturned, and the man standing and holding what appears to be a handgun. Two men died at the scene. A woman from the cafe died at a hospital. Evan Hill, who lives above the building where the shooting happened, said the cafe was an artists’ collective and performance space.
states to place restrictions on convicted sex offenders who have completed their sentences, controlling where many of them live and work and requiring them to register with police. But the increasing use of social networks for everyday communication raises new, untested issues. The bans generally forbid offenders to join social networks or chat rooms or use instant-messaging programs — just a few of the online tools that civil liberties advocates say have become virtually indispensable to free speech. After hearing challenges, federal judges in two states threw out laws or parts of laws that they deemed too stringent. In Nebraska, the decision allowed sex offenders to join social networks. And in Louisiana, a new law lets offenders use the Internet for shopping, reading news and exchanging email. A case filed against Indiana’s law is under review.
From Page 1 Capital, which Obama’s team contends led to job losses and bankrupt companies even while Bain profited. “Whether companies succeeded or failed, Romney Economics netted huge profits for him and his investors, but sometimes proved devastating for the middle-class workers whose jobs, benefits and pensions were put at risk,” Axelrod wrote in the memo released Wednesday. Axelrod sought to link Romney’s Bain record with his Massachusetts experience by noting that Romney ran for governor on the basis of his private-sector background. “Under Gov. Romney, the Massachusetts economy was not at the top or even in the middle, but close to the bottom of all the states,” he wrote. Republicans contend that Obama’s critique of the Bain record will backfire because it will give voters the impression that he is anti-business.
The focus on Obama’s green energy record, including Energy Department funding for companies like Solyndra, gives Romney a chance to rebut Bain because Republicans say Obama essentially played the role of venture capitalist by investing government money in green energy companies. On Tuesday, Romney raised money in Las Vegas with Donald Trump, the real estate mogul who has stoked doubts about whether Obama was born in America. It was the start of a weeklong push to raise millions of dollars during a West Coast trip designed to help Romney bring in as much cash as possible ahead of a ramped-up campaign schedule later this summer. The former Massachusetts governor was looking to take advantage of his official claiming of the nomination, a triumph of endurance for a candidate who came up short
four years ago and had to fight hard this year as voters flirted with a carousel of GOP rivals. According to the Associated Press count, Romney surpassed the 1,144 delegates needed to win the nomination by winning 105 delegates in the Texas primary, pushing his total to 1,191 delegates. Romney must now fire up conservatives who still doubt him while persuading swing voters that he can do a better job fixing the nation’s struggling economy than Obama. In Obama, he faces a wellfunded candidate with a proven campaign team in an election that will be heavily influenced by the economy. Romney has scheduled fundraisers this week in wealthy California enclaves like Hillsborough, near San Francisco, and Beverly Hills. He has at least one major fundraising event every day for the rest of the week, as well as a series of smaller events.

This means there are millions of phones waiting to be recycled! Throwing them into the trash is not ecofriendly, since cellphones contain metals, copper and other hazardouswaste components. The best way to recycle is to research which groups or companies are accepting them in your community. Many phone retailers, state or local waste-management companies and charities collect them to refurbish and give to battered-women’s shelters or those in the military. You can keep up with technology and do the right thing for the environment! — Heloise PAMPER YOUR PET Dear Readers: We bathe our dogs as needed, but rarely do we clean their collars and leashes! Here are a few hints to help you: For canvas or nylon leashes and collars, brush to remove dirt and other yuck! Take off all metal tags. Use a little detergent in the washing machine, and put the leash and collar into a cotton pillowcase and tie (or safety-pin) it closed. Place in the washing machine on the gentle cycle, and let the items air-dry. Don’t put them in the dryer! For leather items, wipe clean with a damp microfiber cloth and clean periodically with saddle soap, if needed. — Heloise SHARING COUPONS Dear Heloise: After reading your article in The (Canton, Ohio) Repository about giving coupons to other people, I had to write to you for the first time.

Program deals with Vatican II BOTKINS — Nearly 25 people attended a recent presentation about Vatican II at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, Botkins. Sidney resident and Roman Catholic Church historian Kevin Schmiesing spoke about three of the significant changes brought about by the council: • An enhanced understanding of human rights as they related to freedom of religion and the separation of church and state. • Greater ecumenism between the Roman Catholic Church and Protestantism (as well as better interfaith relations between Catholics and nonChristians). • Dramatic changes in the ways that Catholics worship. The Second Vatican Council began in October 1962, just after the August 1962 dedication of Immaculate Conception Church. The parish is currently celebrating the building’s 50th birthday.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
BY LYNN ELBER Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — Bertha Hofer deserves to be one of the summer’s biggest, if unlikeliest, TV stars. In the narrowest sense, she’s yet another working mom opening up her life to the camera. But Hofer is part of an unusual and intriguing world, a small Montana religious commune depicted in National Geographic Channel’s “American Colony: Meet the Hutterites.” Hofer, 52, a widowed mother of three balancing her religion’s strict tenets with her children’s hopes for the future, is a focus of the series. Her unvarnished and soulful face, the kind that cannot hide its heart, recalls the careworn migrant mother in Dorothea Lange’s classic 1930s Depression-era portrait. “Atlanta ‘Housewives’ they’re not,” David Lyle, the channel’s CEO, said of Hofer and the other Hutterites depicted in the 10-part series airing 10 p.m. EDT Tuesdays. “When you look at Bertha, she’s a very good, committed member of this community, and she’s struggling to be one of the best parents I’ve seen on TV.” A documentary with a restrained reality series flavor, “American Colony” follows the daily life of the rural community that is both part of and carefully separated from typical modern life. The King colony is one of the German-speaking Hutterite communes scattered across the U.S. and, in the greatest numbers, in Canada. They are Protestants who are similar to the

Foreign students are a highly important revenue source. According to the Institute of International Education, a nonprofit group that monitors international enrollments, more than 75 percent of them receive no U.S. financial aid. It is estimated that one U.S. student studies in a foreign country for every five foreign students studying in the U.S. The cultural enrichment of the foreign students on our campuses is welcome. DR.

Last week he surprised me by saying that he
wants us to be engaged and he would buy me a beautiful engagement ring if I agree. I really care for this guy — a lot — but I’m not 100 percent sure that I want to marry him. However, I really would enjoy getting the ring and I would be proud to wear it. Since it would be a diamond engagement ring, I’d return it to him if we parted ways. That way he could give it to another young lady if he would ever get a girl to say yes to his marriage proposal. My mother thinks it would be wrong to accept the ring. My married sister said to “go for it.” This guy thinks an engagement ring acceptance means a wedding is in the near future. I would really like your opinion. By accepting
the ring, it would mean that I’d consider marrying him. — C.J., Toronto, Ontario. C.J.: When you accept an engagement ring, you are telling the world you are to be married, not that you are considering the marriage. If you are not 100 percent sure you want this guy to be your lifelong companion, don’t accept the ring.

times into the throat, where it provokes coughing spells. Medicines that decrease acid production get rid of GERD coughing. Omeprazole (Prilosec) is one example. Medicines have to be considered, too. The blood pressure medicines called ACE inhibitors often are implicated as a cause of coughing. Capoten, Zestril and Vasotec are popular ACE inhibitors. You’re not going to discover the cause of a cough without a doctor’s help. I mentioned the three major causes of cough, but there are many, many more that must be investigated. TO READERS: The booklet on colon cancer provides useful information on the causes and cures of this common malady. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue — No. 505, Box 536475, Orlando, FL

DONOHUE: My grandparents live in the South. I just came back from visiting them. I was in the sun the whole time. I wanted a tan, and I wanted it in advance of those where I live. I got a tan. I also got circles without any tan. My grandmother says it’s sun poisoning. How do I treat it? — L.O. ANSWER: A more likely diagnosis is a common fungal infection, tinea versicolor. Selenium sulfide lotion, 2.5 percent, works. So does ketoconazole cream, 2 percent, and ketoconazole shampoo. Nothing works overnight. A suntan is more dangerous to health than tinea versicolor.

May 31, 1912 While automobile owners who insist on running their cars faster than the law allows come in for deserved censure there is another element of danger of which many persons are ignorant. A careful chauffeur told this morning of the practice of children standing in front of an approaching car until it is close to them and then they jump to one side. This is a most dangerous practice as the driver of the car has no way of knowing which way the children will jump or how long they will stand in the path of the car. ––––– Ormond Blake, riding a motorcycle accidentally collided with an automobile driven by D.

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

Wildcats go for two in a row Face third-ranked Defiance Tinora in state semifinals Friday
50 years ago May 31, 1962 Tom Bickel stowed away top honors in the Blind Bogey tournament, staged over the Moose Country Club’s course. Bickel blasted out a 74 net over the 18-hole route.
25 years ago May 289, 1987 It’s been a good year for athletics at Sidney High and school officials have the Greater Miami Valley Conference all-sports standings to prove it. Sidney won three outright league championships and tied for a fourth, and it led to a second-place finish in the final all-sports standings behind Vandalia by a half-point.
NUMBERS GAME 18,230 — Average attendance at NBA regular-season games this season, which began in December after an extended lockout.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “There was no collusion. There was no agreement. These claims are totally unfounded.” — NFL spokesman Greg Aiello responding to accusations by the NFL players union that the 32 NFL teams conspired to a salary cap in what was supposed to be an uncapped season.”
ON THIS DATE IN 1949 — Sam Snead wins the PGA Championship, defeating Johnny Palmer in the final round 3 and 2. 1965 — Jim Clark becomes the first non-U.S. driver in 49 years to win the Indianapolis 500.
MINSTER — Minster won its first-ever state championship in baseball last season, and despite some adversity this year, the Wildcats are back in Columbus to defend their championship in Division IV. The Wildcats take a 24-6 record into Friday’s 4 p.m. against Defiance game Tinora, which is 27-3 on the year. The situation is shaping up to be a repeat of last year, when Minster went into the semifinals as the underdog. They were matched up against Newark Catholic, the No. 2-ranked team in Ohio in the final polls. But the unranked Wildcats pulled out a 6-5 victory, then blanked New Middletown Springfield in the championship game 6-0 on a combined shutout by Adam Niemeyer and Austin Knapke. Both those pitchers are back this season for coach Mike Wiss, but Niemeyer hasn’t been able to pitch much because of an elbow injury, which has relegated him to designated hitter. Knapke, however, has teamed with Doug Huber to give Minster solid pitching during the latest tournament run, and Wiss will no doubt go with Huber to start and Knapke around the fifth inning, if things go according to plan. Huber is 5-2 with a 1.50 earned run average in 561/3 innings, and Knapke is 8-2 with a 1.60 ERA in 482/3 innings. Niemeyer did not allow an earned run in 452/3 innings before his injury, but the Wildcats have survived. They hit the ball well in regional tournament wins over Southeastern and Lehman, keeping the Cavaliers from a state tournament appearance

Reds edged by Pirates PITTSBURGH (AP) — A.J. Burnett allowed just two hits over seven innings, Matt Hague delivered a two-run double and the Pittsburgh Pirates edged the Cincinnati Reds 2-1 on Wednesday night. Burnett (4-2) escaped early trouble then cruised, giving up one unearned run while striking out three and walking two to win his third straight start. The right-hander retired 17 straight at one point, with only three balls reaching the outfield. Joel Hanrahan worked out of a two-on, one-out jam for his 13th save as the Pirates clinched their first winning May in four years. Johnny Cueto (5-3) gave up two runs over seven innings, walking four and striking out five while dropping his second straight decision. The Reds managed just four hits as slugger Joey Votto took most of the night off. The Reds missed an opportunity to get off to a big start. Zac Cozart doubled to left-cenAP Photo/Gene J.

Reports of strife spoil Indy 500 boost JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer The excitement over a strong Indianapolis 500 didn’t last very long for IndyCar. A Wednesday report on Speed.com detailed an alleged revolt by several team owners to oust IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard. Rumors of discord have been present at Indianapolis Motor Speedway last week, threatening to overshadow the biggest race of the year. The report claims IndyCar founder Tony George and a handful of team owners are behind a charge to have Bernard fired. Also listed were team owners John Barnes, Kevin Kalkhoven, Michael Andretti and his father, Mario. Michael Andretti immediately denounced the
report on Twitter, calling it “sensationalism” and saying there “is no lynch mob!” Before Sunday’s race, Bernard tried to defuse any controversy and it seemed to work as the race was generally regarded as one of the best in history. Only the focus now is not on the race, the decent television rating or the need to build some momentum for the series. Instead, it went back to business as usual as the owners seemed to pick up right where they were before the race. Bernard confirmed the mounting speculation in his own tweet Tuesday night, admitting “it is true that an owner is calling others trying to get me fired. I have had several owners confirm this.” Team owners have
been upset over several issues, most consistently the escalating costs to field IndyCar’s new car this season. The price tag is much higher than what Bernard quoted, and money has been a sore spot since before the season began. But the angst has escalated of late, particularly among the Chevrolet team owners. Chevy lost a pair of appeals protesting a component of rival Honda’s turbocharger, and the anger spread to other manufacturers after IndyCar levied fines throughout the garage that reached $300,000 for 19 infractions among 13 different teams. “I’ve been involved now in racing for 28 months, and what I’ve seen is this unbelievable amount of passion to win, desire to win, not only from drivers but
mainly from team owners,” Bernard said last weekend. “When a call is not made in their direction, of course they’re going to be upset.” Roger Penske, team owner for the drivers who won the first four races of the season, was initially not speaking to after the Bernard Honda rulings. But he met with Bernard at Indy, and insisted to The Associated Press he’s supportive of the series, the CEO and not a part of any plot to have Bernard ousted. Andretti, meanwhile, has been one of the most supportive owners in IndyCar this season. Besides his three full-time entries, he fielded two more cars in the Indy 500 to help get to the full 33-car field. He also fields entries in the Mazda Road to Indy developmental series.
And he’s stepped up as a promoter this year to take over the races at Milwaukee and Baltimore, which were both in danger of vanishing. He took over Milwaukee when IndyCar needed a 16th race to complete its schedule, and stepped in at Baltimore last month. Still, the discord is nothing new for openwheel racing, where infighting and power struggles have long plagued the series. Bernard inherited it all when he was hired to replace George, who was ousted by his family after years of mounting costs. In just over two years, Bernard has brought renewed enthusiasm to IndyCar, reduced debt, increased attendance and television ratings, introduced a new car and brought in multiple engine manu-
facturers. There’s also some parity in IndyCar, despite the early dominance by Penske drivers. The Indy 500, which had a record 34 lead changes, featured big finishes for small teams. Among them was Oriol Servia, who gave Dreyer & Reinbold its best Indy result ever with a fourth-place finish. It was the team’s first race with a Chevrolet engine since it ditched Lotus in early May. Justin Wilson was seventh for Dale Coyne Racing, and Alex Tagliani was 12th for Bryan Herta Autosport, which sat out of last month’s race at Brazil to regroup and defect from Lotus to Honda. IndyCar’s next race is Sunday, the Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix. It’s the first major race in Detroit since 2008.
Djokovic advances in French Open PARIS (AP) — The top-seeded players had early starts at the French Open on Wednesday, and both Novak Djokovic and Victoria Azarenka made it to the third round without a problem. A short time later, 2009 champion Roger Federer joined them, earning his recordbreaking 234th victory at Grand Slam tournaments. Former top-ranked player Venus Williams was eliminated, a day
after little sister Serena lost in the first round. The seven-time Grand Slam champion, who was playing at a major tournament for the first time since revealing she had been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, lost to third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland 6-2, 6-3. Djokovic was first up on Court Suzanne Lenglen, and he was barely troubled by Blaz Kavcic of Slovenia, winning 6-0, 6-4, 6-4 for his 23rd straight Grand
Slam victory. In the main stadium at Roland Garros, Azarenka defeated Dinah Pfizenmaier of Germany 6-1, 6-1 — two days after struggling to win her opening match. "Being No. 1 is a difficult job, because everybody want to catch you, everybody want to move you from the spot," Azarenka said. "Nothing is going to come easy just because you're No. 1. You actually have more people ... motivated trying to beat you."

KANSAS CITY Royals’ Jeff Francoeur, left, is caught in a run down and tagged out between third and home, by Cleveland Indians catcher Luke Carlin in the second inning of a baseball game in Cleveland on Wednesday.
Royals beat Tribe 6-3 Moustakas, Jeff Francoeur and Brayan Pena each had run-scoring hits to help Kansas City rally from a 3-0 deficit. Chen worked the first five innings before relievers Tim Collins, Aaron Crow, Jose Mijares and Jonathan Broxton pitched scoreless ball over the final four innings. Broxton worked a shaky ninth for his 11th save. Broxton retired the first batter, but Shin-Soo Choo walked and Jason Kipnis singled. Asdrubal Cabrera walked to load
the bases, but Jose Lopez hit into a game-ending double play. Cleveland, which has lost five of six, fell to 4-11 against left-handed starters. The Indians announced before the game that designated hitter Travis Hafner will have arthroscopic surgery on his right knee on Thursday and is expected to miss four to six weeks. Catchers Carlos Santana and Lou Marson and third baseman Jack Hannahan are also out with injuries.

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Kansas City Royals are headed home on a high note. Wednesday’s 6-3 win over the Cleveland Indians was significant on several fronts for the Royals. The victory gave Kansas City a 5-4 road trip in which it won four of its last six games. The Royals, who are off Thursday, finished May with a 15-13 record, their first winning mark in the month since 2000. Kansas City, which took two of three in both Baltimore and Cleveland after losing two of three in New York to open the trip, is 16-11 on the road. The Royals are 18-14 since losing 12 straight from April 1124. “It’s time to forget about the streak,” Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. “We’ve played really good baseball from that point on and we’re going to continue to get better.” “We played three good teams,” said left fielder Alex Gordon, who had two hits and drove in a run. “Baltimore and Cleveland are at the top of their divisions. We’re starting to play a little better. This road trip is definitely a positive.” Bruce Chen overcame a rocky second inning and the Royals scored their first five runs with two outs. Chen (4-5) held Cleveland scoreless after giving up three runs in the second. Gordon, Johnny Giavotella, Mike

It’s also a concrete track with several grooves. Goodyear has a new tire that puts a lot of rubber down and makes for very slick spots on the track. Cars drive over a hump at both corner entries that unloads tires and makes corner entry a big challenge. Most drivers would say it’s a real ‘driver’s track.’ Dover has made significant improvements to pit road in the last year, which has helped the pit crews.”

By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor
Memorial Day weekend is billed as “Racing’s Greatest Weekend,” with high-profile races across the globe. The Formula One Series opened the day half a world away with the Grand Prix of Monaco. The IndyCar Series culminated a month in Indiana with arguably North America’s most prestigious race, the Indianapolis 500. And NASCAR brought down the curtains with one of its crown-jewel events — its longest race of the season — the Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte, N.C. In Monte Carlo, Mark Webber, from Australia, entertained the champagne and caviar crown, scoring his second victory in the Grand Prix of Monaco. Driving a Red Bull Renault, Webber beat Nico Rosberg and Fernando Alonso to line after the 161.8-mile event that came down to tire strategy and dodging threatening weather. Back in the United States, the 96th running of the Indianapolis 500
went green at noon EST after its traditional late-morning flurry of marching bands, balloons and Jim Nabors’ rendition of “Back Home Again in Indiana.” A familiar face drank milk and kissed the bricks by mid-afternoon, as Scotsman Dario Franchitti earned his third career Borg-Warner Trophy. Franchitti battled Takuma Sato, Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan in the closing laps. As Franchitti and Sato raced side-by-side into Turn 1 on the final lap, Sato, on the inside, was squeezed down by Franchitti. Sato spun, allowing Franchitti to scoot away with Dixon and Kanaan finishing second and third. Sato was credited with 17th after hitting the wall in the spin. Franchitti dedicated the win to his good friend, the late Dan Wheldon, who passed away in last season’s IndyCar final at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Wheldon was the defending Indianapolis 500 champion. “Everybody up there was a friend of Dan’s, and that about sums it up,”

Franchitti said of the top-3 finishers. “Everybody loved him. I think DDub would be proud of that one.” The beer and barbeque crowd enjoyed the day’s finale — the 53rd running of NASCAR’s marathon, the Coca-Cola 600. Kasey Kahne emerged victorious after nearly four hours of racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway, handing Hendrick Motorsports its third consecutive win (counting the nonpoints All-Star Race). The victory was Kahne’s first with HMS since coming aboard at the start of the season, and third career triumph in the 600. “It’s been an unbelievable week for us to get the 200th win at Darlington, then to come back and win the All-Star Race,” team owner Rick Hendrick said. “I think we’re showing the potential of the teams. I’m really looking forward to the second half of this year.” Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, Greg Biffle and Brad Keselowski rounded out the top 5.
“Bottom line, I think everyone is so concerned with points nowadays, you know if you wreck and you finish in the 30s, you’re going to take 10 races to get that back. “I think everyone’s just a little bit more patient on restarts, as crazy as that sounds. It’s just not as wild on restarts as it used to be a couple years ago. Everyone is minding their P’s and Q’s, trying to get the best finish out of their day, knowing the one thing you can’t overcome in a race is a crash.” Said the race-winner, Kasey Kahne: “You have to be consistent in this sport. It’s how the points are. You have to be consistent. You have to finish races. If you're crashing, you’re not finishing, you’re losing points. The Chase is what it’s all about.”
Classic Moments Dover International Speedway Junie Donlavey fielded entries for over 50 years in NASCAR’s top division — from Joe Weatherly and LeeRoy Yarbrough to Ricky Rudd and Ken Schrader and a host of drivers in between — but his Dover mount in May 1981 might have been his most memorable. Jody Ridley drove Donlavey’s No. 90 Ford to victory in the Mason-Dixon 500 that day, scoring both men’s lone Cup victory. Neil Bonnett, Cale Yarborough and David Pearson all took turns at the front, but each dropped an engine while leading. Ridley finally emerged with the lead — although Bobby Allison’s car owner, Harry Ranier, claimed that NASCAR’s timing and scoring had incorrectly placed Ridley ahead of his No. 28 Buick — and led the final 20 laps to score an unlikely win over Allison, Dale Earnhardt, D.K. Ulrich and Rudd.
Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: With his next victory in Dover, Jimmie Johnson will tie Bobby Allison and Richard Petty for the most all-time wins at the track (seven). Pretty Solid Pick: Roush teammates Greg Biffle and Matt Kenseth each have two Cup wins in Delaware. Good Sleeper Pick: Mark Martin (four Dover wins), in his Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota. Runs on Seven Cylinders: Last weekend’s winner, Kasey Kahne, who averages a 22.6-place finish in 12 starts here. Insider Tip: The drivers love this joint, and most everyone currently in the top 10 in points has at least one triumph at the concrete oval.

Bad pit stops took Johnson from a top-3 car to 12th. Still, there’s no denying his wins in the Southern 500 and All-Star Race the previous two weeks. And Dover is always a welcome site for his bunch. Dominant early in the Coca-Cola 600, Biffle’s team couldn’t keep up with changing track conditions. The result: a fourth-place finish after leading 204 laps. Of his second-place run in the Coke 600, Hamlin said via Twitter that, “We optimized our finish. Now if I could just shake this Cal Naughton Jr syndrome...” Surprisingly quiet in the 600, Kenseth finished a respectable 10th and finds himself just 10 points shy of teammate Greg Biffle in the championship standings. His win was only a matter of time, of course. Leading up to it, he’d posted five consecutive finishes of eighth or better. More important, he’s narrowed the gap to 10th in the standings to 42 points. He never had the flat-out speed needed to carry his No. 88 to victory on Sunday. But regardless of the winless skid, Earnhardt can boast a series-best nine top 10s thus far in 2012. Burned by a pit-road speeding penalty early in the 600, Keselowski fought back to a hard-earned fifthplace finish after a runner-up in the previous weekend’s All-Star Race. Young “Rowdy” came and went a few times before settling for a third-place showing at Charlotte. It was his fourth straight run of fourth or better. Stewart’s No. 14 team is either a world-beater or totally out to lunch every weekend. Sunday’s performance was in the latter category. Still hanging in at sixth in the championship standings, Truex needs to avoid a dip in performance — or score a couple wins — to assure himself of a Chase bid. Despite Edwards’ lack of fireworks this season, he does have eight top 10s to his credit. A three-week skid gave way to a solid eighth at CMS. This bunch needs to — and can — pick it up. Despite showing early speed in the 600, Bowyer limped to a 13th-place run, two laps off the pace. His seventh in the 600 proves that when the bad luck stays away, Gordon can perform. Still very quietly clicking off top-15 showings — and sits 13th in the standings. Aric Almirola, Jeff Burton, Mark Martin, Juan Pablo Montoya, Ryan Newman
