SIDNEY MAYOR Mike Barhorst takes a sledgehammer to the empty building located next to the Interstate 75 northbound exit 92 ramp Monday. The building, which is owned by Reliable Castings, is going to be demolished. The building is the former home of The Pub and Adrianna’s Italian Restaurant.

Sidney mayor begins demolition of building Wearing a hard hat and wielding a sledge hammer, Sidney Mayor Mike Barhorst took a few symbolic swings at the exterior wall of the building that most recently housed The Pub and Adrianna’s Italian Restaurant Monday morning. Barhorst then invited West Ohio Development Council Executive Director Mike Dodds and other mem-

bers of Sidney City Council to take their own swings at the wall. Although those in attendance did little actual damage to the building, it is expected the building will be gone by the end of the week. Spearman Brothers, contracted to do the demolition work by Reliable Castings Corp., will complete the actual demoli-

A motion to hire two retired teachers brought forth no votes from two members of the Sidney City Schools Board of Education. “It dealt with retirement issues,” said Bill Ankney after the meeting. “It’s nothing against the people, it’s about them being retired.” Ankney and Steve Smith voted no on a motion to rehire Bob Tenney as a high school physics teacher and Tony Wagner as a high math teacher. The motion was approved as Melanie Cook, Kelly Rees and Darrell Spangler all voted yes. The pair will be paid $36,934 for a oneyear limited contract for the 2012-13 school year. There will be two unpaid days, for a total salary of $36,535. Smith also voted no on a motion for the re-employment of Phil Kocher and Bruce Lemley on a part-time, asneeded basis as school psychologists. The motion was approved and both will be paid $338.81 per day. Kocher See RETIREES/Page 12A

Teen indicted in three school shooting deaths

Governor signs new law regulating exotic animals BY ANN SANNER Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s governor signed into law Tuesday the state’s widely watched new regulations on exotic animals, calling a suicidal owner’s release of dozens of lions, tigers and other dangerous creatures months ago “about as bizarre as anything gets.” The state had some of the nation’s weakest restrictions on exotic pets. And Gov. John Kasich acknowledged the lax rules as he prepared to sign the legislation at a Statehouse ceremony. “Ohio was really the wild, wild West,” Kasich said. “We had virtually no rules and no regulations in terms of all this.” Regulatory efforts took on new urgency in October, when Terry Thompson released 50 animals — including black bears, mountain lions and Bengal tigers — from his eastern Ohio farm in Zanesville before he committed suicide. Authorities were forced to kill almost all of the animals. The measure, which takes effect on Sept. 3, will people from buying new dangerous exotic animals. Current owners could keep their creatures by registering them with the state within 60 days of the law’s effective date. Owners also must ob-

tain a new state-issued permit by 2014 and adhere to strict new caretaking standards and inspections. Kasich, a first-term Republican, said getting a bill passed by the GOP-led state Legislature was frustrating at times, because the issue proved it was more complex than what it seemed. “Where do you put the animals? What animals do we take? What do you do about venomous snakes? What do we do about this? We don’t have enough places to put these animals? Who is going take them?” Kasich said. “You just wouldn’t believe the amount of time.” Kasich was flanked at the bill signing by state officials, state lawmakers from Zanesville and celebrity zookeeper Jack Hanna, who had criticized the Legislature in February for not swiftly passing new regulations. Hanna told the lawmakers on Tuesday that he appreciates their work. “What you’re setting here is a precedent for those states that have no laws as well,” Hanna said. “I am very proud of Ohio.” Kasich said the state now has reasonable, tough restrictions on the animals that will keep the public and animals safe. Still, he cautioned, “I don’t want anyone to think that this is all solved and that there could not be another problem.”

Snake-handling preacher dies after bitten at service M O R G A N T O W N, W.Va. (AP) — A West Virginia preacher who followed his father into the rare practice of handling snakes to prove faith in God died after being bitten during an outdoor service involving the reptiles. Mark Randall “Mack” Wolford, 44 — whose own father died in 1983 after suffering a fatal bite — had been bitten before and survived. But he died earlier this week

after witnesses say a timber rattler bit him on the thigh. Wolford’s sister and a freelance photographer told media outlets it happened during a Sunday service at Panther State Forest. Lauren Pond, a freelance photojournalist from Washington, D.C., didn’t immediately return messages Thursday but told the Bluefield Daily Telegraph she was among 25 people at the service. She saw Wolford

bitten but said congregants were unfazed. “I don’t think anyone necessarily expected it,” she told the newspaper, “but they’ve dealt with it before so it’s not such a huge shock, maybe.” Regional Bluefield Medical Center spokeswoman Becky Ritter said Thursday that Wolford was a patient and died Monday, but that federal privacy laws prevented her from releasing additional information.

Witnesses testify about hearing screams in septic tank case LOGAN (AP) — A woman on the ground was screaming “like somebody dying” while a stun gun was being used on her, witnesses told a jury Tuesday in the southeast Ohio trial of a man accused of killing his estranged wife. William Inman II, 27, and his parents are charged in the death of Inman’s 25-year-old wife, Summer. Authorities say she was abducted in Logan on March 22, 2011, strangled and dumped in an underground septic tank behind a church in nearby Athens County. Inman and his parents have pleaded not guilty to murder and are being tried separately. Inman’s trial is the first of the three. Inman and his father face the death penalty if convicted of aggravated murder, while Inman’s

Inmate gets reprieve COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich has granted a condemned killer a twoweek reprieve to allow a court to conduct a hearing on the inmate’s mental competency. The reprieve Tuesday evening temporarily spared Abdul Awkal, who was facing execution in less than 18 hours when Kasich made his announcement. Kasich said he ordered the reprieve to allow Cuyahoga County Judge Stuart Friedman enough time to hold a hearing on Awkal’s mental condition. Friedman ruled Monday there was evidence to believe Awkal was not competent to be executed. 53-year-old The Awkal was sentenced to die for killing his estranged wife from an arranged marriage and his brother-in-law in a Cuyahoga County court basement in 1992.

CLEVELAND (AP) — A 17-year-old boy has been charged with three counts of aggravated murder in the school shooting deaths of three students and the wounding of three others, according to an indictment released Tuesday. The indictment was returned by a Geauga grand jury County against T.J. Lane in the Feb. 27 attack at Chardon High School east of Cleveland. A judge ruled last month that Lane must be tried as an adult. Lane could face life in prison if convicted. He was indicted on three counts of aggravated murder, two counts of attempted aggravated murder and one count of felonious assault. No motive has been established. One of Lane’s attorneys, Mark DeVan, said there would be no comment. Lane’s arraignment was scheduled for Friday in Chardon. Killed in the attacks were Demetrius Hewlin, 16, Russell King Jr., 17, and Daniel Parmertor, 16. Minors aren’t eligible for the death penalty in Ohio. Had his case been routed to juvenile court, the maximum possible penalty would have kept him jailed until he turned 21. The judge who sent the case to adult felony court rejected a defense request to release Lane on a $500,000 bond and said Lane would pose a risk to flee and a safety risk to the community. A psychiatrist who examined Lane testified earlier that that Lane sometimes loses touch with reality and suffers from hallucinations, psychosis and fantasies. But Dr. Phillip Resnick said none of the symptoms detailed in a mental

Under a new state law, a child can be found competent only if he or she is able to grasp the seriousness of the charges and understand the proceedings. Resnick said Lane also has experienced migraine headaches, a narrow range of emotions and withdrawing from people. Lane attended an alternative school for students who haven’t done well in traditional schools; he had been at Chardon waiting for a bus. David Prosecutor Joyce said Lane has admitted taking a .22-caliber pistol and a knife to the high school and firing 10 shots at a group of students sitting at a cafeteria table at the start of the school day.

day. The screams were “horrible, like somebody dying,” she told jurors. Hedges said she saw two men in dark clothing standing, and a woman on the ground in a ball, her knees drawn up. She said she could hear, but not see, a stun gun. The two men threw the woman into the back seat of the car, and the car took off, Hedges said. Richard “Joey” Leake, who also was walking in the area, told jurors he heard a woman screaming “bloody murder.”

Woman wins $900K PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon jury has awarded $900,000 to a woman who claimed a retired dentist infected her with genital herpes, in a rare case in which a dispute over a sexually transmitted disease went to a jury trial. The 49-year-old woman, who filed the suit under a pseudonym, testified last week that she suffered painful outbreaks and spiraled into depression following a sexual encounter with the 69-year-old man she met through the dating website eHarmony. “I told the jury he’s dangerous, and I believe he is,” said Randall Vogt, the attorney for the woman, who declined to be interviewed.

9 jurors selected BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) — Connections to Penn State weren’t necessarily keeping prospective jurors from being chosen Tuesday to decide former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky’s fate on child sexual abuse charges. After nine of the 12 main jurors were seated, their ranks included a longtime football season ticket holder, a rising senior in the university, a man with bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the university and a soil sciences professor who retired after 37 years there.

Remains sent to schools VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Police said Tuesday packages delivered to two Vancouver schools contained a human foot and hand. Vancouver Deputy Police Chief Warren Lemcke said he could not immediately confirm if they were connected to the Montreal killing of a Chinese student who was murdered and dismembered. Alleged killer Luka Rocco Magnotta is to be extradited from Germany for the killing of Jun Lin. The British Columbia Coroner’s Service and the Vancouver police’s major crime investigators have been called in. One of Lin’s hands, a foot and his head are still missing. Last week, body parts were mailed to the headquarters of the federal Liberal and Conservative parties. Lemcke said Vancouver police are still investigatingthe two incidents. The first package containing what appeared to be a human hand was opened by staff at False Creek Elementary School after 1 p.m. local time Tuesday.

Police in Michigan say a stolen laptop took a picture of the thief and sent it to a security website, leading to his arrest. The computer’s owner, Logan Chadde, installed Orbicule security software before a weekend break-in at his home in Ann Arbor. Chadde told AnnArbor.com on Monday the program captured the thief using Facebook and talking with another person about how he was going to sell the stolen laptop. Chadde sent the information to police, who arrested a 19-year-old man.

Al-Qaida No. 2 killed ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) — A U.S. drone strike in northwest Pakistan has killed alQaida’s second-in-command, officials from both countries confirmed Tuesday, the most significant victory so far in the controversial bombing campaign and the biggest setback to the terror network since the death of Osama bin Laden. Abu Yahya al-Libi was considered a media-savvy, charismatic leader with religious credentials who was helping preside over the transformation of a secretive group based in Pakistan and Afghanistan into a global movement aimed at winning converts — and potential attackers — from Somalia to the Philippines. This was not the first time the U.S. had al-Libi in its sights: He was originally captured a decade ago and held by American forces at the Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan until he escaped in 2005 in an embarrassing security breach. Soon thereafter, he began appearing in videos in which he talked about the lessons he learned while watching his captors, whom he described as cowardly, lost and alienated.

AP Photo/IntelCenter, File

THIS MARCH 25, 2007, file image, made from video posted on a website frequented by Islamist militants and provided via the IntelCenter, shows al-Qaida militant Abu Yahia al-Libi. A U.S. drone strike killed al-Qaida’s second-in-command, an American official said Tuesday, a significant blow to the terror network that has lost a string of top leaders since the death of Osama bin Laden last year on June 4, 2012. White House spokesman Jay Carney called al-Libi’s death a “major blow” to the group. Carney described al-Libi as an operational leader and a “general manager” of al-Qaida. He said al-Libi had a range of experience that will be hard for al-Qaida to replicate and brings the terror network closer to its ultimate demise than ever before.

“His death is part of the degradation that has been taking place to core al-Qaida during the past several years and that degradation has depleted the ranks to such an extent that there’s no clear successor,” Carney said. A U.S. official familiar with the case, who confirmed that alLibi was killed in a drone strike, said no one left in al-

Qaida comes close to replacing the expertise the group has just lost. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters. The Libyan-born al-Libi, who was thought to be in his late 40s, was killed Monday morning in a village in northwestern Pakistan, a tribal area bordering Afghanistan that is home to many al-Qaida and Taliban members and their support networks. A Pakistani intelligence official said late Tuesday that alLibi was dead but declined to say how authorities knew this or whether they had seen his body. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of the classified nature of the drone program. Al-Libi, who was considered a hero in militant circles because of his escape from the American military prison, was elevated to al-Qaida’s No. 2 spot when Ayman al-Zawahri replaced bin Laden. As al-Qaida’s de facto general manager, he was responsible for running the group’s day-to-day operations in Pakistan’s tribal areas and managed outreach to al-Qaida’s regional affiliates.

Begone with them: Disney to banish junk food ads NEW YORK (AP) — There won’t be any more candy, sugary cereal or fast food on TV with the morning cartoons. The Walt Disney Co. Tuesday became the first major media company to ban ads for junk food on its television channels, radio stations and websites, hoping to stop kids from eating badly by taking the temptation away. First Lady Michelle Obama called it a “game changer” that is sure to send a message to the rest of the children’s entertainment industry. “Just a few years ago if you had told me or any other mom or dad in America that our kids wouldn’t see a single ad for junk food while they watched their favorite cartoons on a major TV network, we wouldn’t have believed you,” said Obama, who has headed a campaign to curb child obesity. The food that doesn’t meet Disney’s nutritional standards goes beyond candy bars and fast food meals. Capri Sun juice

New nutritional guidelines The Walt Disney Co. says it will ban junk-food ads on its TV channels, radio stations and websites aimed at children by 2015. Here’s a glance at the nutritional guidelines foods will need to meet. The guidelines note the maximum allowable limits for foods per serving: • Breakfast cereal (1 ounce by weight): 130 calories, 10 grams of sugar, 200 milligrams of sodium. • Snacks (1 ounce or 30 grams): 150 calories, 6.25 grams of sugar per 100 calories, 220 milligrams of sodium. • Juices (8 ounces): 140 calories, no added sugar, no added sodium. • Yogurt (4 ounces): 120 calories, 15 grams of sugar (sodium limit not applicable). • Complete meal: 600 calories, 2.5 grams of sugar per 100 calories, 740 milligrams of sodium. (too much sugar) and Oscar Mayer Lunchables (high sodium) won’t be advertised. Any cereal with 10 grams or more of sugar per serving is also off the air. A full meal can’t be more than 600 calories. Disney’s rules — which won’t take effect until 2015 — follow a controversial proposal in New York to take supersized

drinks over 16 ounces out of convenience stores, movie theaters and restaurants, removing choices to try and influence behavior. Getting rid of junk food ads will make it easier to keep the family on a healthy diet, said Nadine Haskell, a mother of two sons, 8 and 11. “If they see a commercial on

TV, then the next time we go to the grocery store they’ll see it and say they want to try it,” said Haskell, of Columbus, Ohio. Disney declined to say how much revenue it stands to lose from banning unhealthy food. CEO Bob Iger said there might be a short-term reduction in advertising revenue, but he hopes that companies will eventually adjust and create new products that meet the standards. The ban would apply to TV channels such is Disney XD, Saturday morning children’s programming on Disney-owned ABC channels, Radio Disney and Disney-owned websites aimed at families with young children. The company’s Disney Channel has sponsorships, but does not run ads. Aviva Must, chairwoman of the Department of Public Health and Community Medicine at Tufts School of Medicine, said Disney could succeed where the government has made little progress.

Romney’s (non) military record faces scrutiny SAN DIEGO (AP) — On a stage crowded with war heroes, Mitt Romney recently praised the sacrifice “of the great men and women of every generation who serve in our armed services.” It is a sacrifice the Republican presidential candidate did not make. Though an early supporter of the Vietnam War, Romney avoided military service at the height of the fighting after high school by seeking and receiving four draft deferments, according to Selective Service records. They included college deferments and a 31-month stretch as a “minister of religion” in France, a classification for Mormon missionaries that the church at the time feared was being overused. The country was cutting troop levels by the time he became eligible for the draft, and

his lottery number was not called. President Barack Obama, Romney’s opponent in this year’s campaign, did not serve in the military either. The Democrat, 50, was a child during the Vietnam conflict and did not enlist when he was older. But because Romney, now 65, was of draft age during Vietnam, his military background — or, rather, his lack of one — is facing new scrutiny as he courts veterans and makes his case to the nation to be commander in chief. He’s also intensified his criticism lately of Obama’s plans to scale back the nation’s military commitments abroad, suggesting that Romney would pursue an aggressive foreign policy as president that could involve U.S. troops.

A look at Romney’s relationship with Vietnam offers a window into a 1960s world that allowed him to avoid combat as fighting peaked. His story also demonstrates his commitment to the Mormon Church, which he rarely discusses publicly but which helped shape his life. Romney’s recollection of his Vietnamera decisions has evolved in the decades since, particularly as his presidential ambitions became clear. He said in 2007 — his first White House bid under way — that he had “longed in many respects to actually be in Vietnam.” But his actions, Selective Service records and previous statements show little interest in joining a conflict that ultimately claimed more than 58,000 American lives.

graphite pencil, clear gloss media, illustration board, corrugated cardboard, copper piping, paper towels with texture, grouting and wood filler. Besides designing mixed media art pieces, Behr also creates the frames for each piece using materials ranging from scraps of leftover kitchen tiles to stained glass. He estimated six steps are involved in each painting from the conceptual phase to the final layer of varnish. “My mission is to explore the outer limits in mixed media while demonstrating the power of the principles and elements of design,” Behr said. “The excitement of extreme mixed media involves pushing the limits of design by incorporating groups of materials into a pleasing composition that artistically comes together to achieve unexpected visual results.” In conjunction with the exhibit, Steffenson will conduct a two-day, invisible machine-appliqué workshop at Hayner June 22 and 23 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit www.troyhayner.org.

Guest band to open courtsquare season QUICK READS The West Central Ohio Community Concert Band will be guest performers when the Sidney Civic Band presents the first concert of its downtown Sidney Summer Concert Series Friday at 7 p.m. on the Shelby County Courthouse square. In the event of rain, the concert will be moved indoors to the First Church of God, 1510 Campbell Road. Directed by 40-year music veteran William Barrett, the 55-piece, allvolunteer band is in its 21st season. The group features members from high school age to 80plus years old hailing from Logan, Champaign and surrounding counties. The band has performed in Bellefontaine, Urbana, Marysville, Indian Lake, the Ohio State Fair, the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials in Washington, D.C., and the courtyard of the Pentagon. Barrett graduated from Eastern Michigan University in 1971. He taught instrumental and vocal music for several years at West LibertySalem Local in Champaign County and at Indian Lake Local in Logan County. For the past 28 years, he has owned and operated the Band Aid Shop, a musical instrument rental and repair facility in Bellefontaine. In 1992, he became a founding member and director of the West Central Ohio Community Concert Band located in Bellefontaine. That band, together with its sister organization, the Fountainaires Jazz Band, perform several concerts and festivals in the

Logan-ChampaignUnion county areas. A trombone major in college, Barrett has also played upright bass in several area bands including the OK Syncopaters and the Main Street Jazz Band, both located in Urbana, The Tom Daugherty Orchestra in Dayton and the Swing Era Band in Sidney. Vocalist Deb Day will perform songs including “They Can’t Take That Away From Me” by George Gershwin and “I Dreamed a Dream” from the musical, “Les Misérables.” Day was born in Marysville and grew up in Berea, studying voice at Baldwin-Wallace College as well as with instructor David Redman of Huntsville. She has been singing with the Fountainaires Jazz Band for 13 years and performs regularly with the West Central Ohio Community Concert Band, the Main Street Jazz Band and with AC Swing in New Bremen. Sidney Civic Band Di-

rector Philip Chilcote said, “We are so pleased to work with this guest band and look forward to their program of music which includes ‘Strike Up the Band,’ ‘Selections from “Momma Mia!”’ and the ‘Armed Forces Salute,’ among others. Concert goers will have the opportunity to win a delicious Spot pie as restaurant owner Michael Jannides has once again agreed to donate a free pie for each of our performances. We are continuing our partnership with the First Church of God’s Relay for Life team who will be providing refreshments at each of the concerts. All proceeds from these sales go to the worthy cause of the American Cancer Society. The concerts are free to the public, so, bring a chair to the square because Friday night never sounded so good!” The Civic Band partners with many nonprofit organizations throughout its concert season.

Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke counties will be on the square at the Friday and June 15 concerts selling tickets for its Daffy Derby. The Sidney Civic Band concerts will be on the courthouse square every Friday night at 7 p.m. through July 20, including a guest performance by Swing Era Band on July 13. Major sponsors for this year’s season include Emerson Climate Technologies, Founder’s Fund of the Community Foundation, Gateway Arts Council and the City of Sidney. To receive advance reminders of the band’s events, including change of venue information due to bad weather, send an email address to sclodge@woh.rr.com.

LETTER

TO THE EDITOR

Bad policy To the editor: Candidates push the idea that credit expansion and reckless spending help America. This is false. The failure of Greece, Italy and Portugal, who pursued such policies, leaving their people with unemployment, barren job markets and massive debt, should warn America of the risks of similar economic policies. Keynesian economics, pushing “fake” money out the federal reserve and treasury, cannot better lives. This just implies the economy is strong, building up a house of cards that inevitably collapses. Look no further than the preDepression 1920s and housing bubble, among many examples. Though appearing to help shortterm, it always leads to debt, recessions, barren job markets, or economic collapse. Those criticizing loose-money policy predicted nearly every recession since the 1800s. Yet these theories are ignored by government because they mean an end of government exploitation of our money. Since we went off the gold standard, the government has debased the value of the dollar by 98 percent, printing money to pay for programs and debts, an extra, unnoticed tax on us of the amount of money printed per year. Opponents say the gold standard lacks liquidity, but this is easily solved by yearly adjustment of currency denominations. What helps our economy is policies that in-

crease production of goods, not monetary manipulation. This betters lives by lowering costs and increasing wages. Government jobs (minus infrastructure improvements), monetary manipulation, and redistribution provide no economic improvements, as every dollar paid is taken from taxpayers. “Experts” such as Krugman and Bernanke, after failing to predict 2008’s recession, support the same policies that created it while ignoring experts who predicted it. Only in government can someone who has failed miserably retain their position, decry those who were correct, and be allowed to implement the same policies. This is neither directed at Obama’s administration or endorsing Romney. This is not an issue of “one percent” versus “OWS” mentalities, and is not D versus R. We elect talking heads whose skill set ends where policy begins. Each party wins election by telling the electorate policies that sound good, and then following through for re-election at the expense of our welfare. This has gone past corruption into a failure of our political mindset. Only through overcoming our apathy can we refuse to elect leaders pushing policy that failed in the depression, failed in Europe, and will fail us now. Jacob Meyer 2210 Ravenwood Trail

agencies if they are going on vacation and leaving their homes vacant. “If the newspapers pile up, the trash sits out and nobody picks it up, (it becomes) pretty obvious nobody’s home,” said the seasoned sheriff. Warning folks that today’s crime also involves stealing personal information is important to Sheriff Lenhart. “We live in a pretty technical world … check your credit accounts, keep track of receipts and watch your debit card transfers,” he urged. “Keep a mindful eye that there are a lot of people out there … trying to take advantage of us.” When it comes to a scam, the sheriff reminds people of the famous saying, “If it is too good to be true, it’s probably not true,” like the phone caller who reports, “Gee, you’ve won the Mexican lottery.” Some unsuspecting victims have fallen for the scam, even though they’ve never played the lottery. Sheriff Lenhart has a special concern for the vulnerability of senior citizens who can be taken advantage of by unprincipled business people. “Do not do business with people you don’t know,” he said emphatically. “We just had two persons pay substantial money … who had pavement put down on their driveways … (the pavers) had put shoddy work down and (used) lousy material,” said the county officer. Sadly, the residents wrote checks

for the work, making financial recovery difficult. The sheriff advises seniors to call the Better Business Bureau, a neighbor or an adult child to ask advice about utilizing specific businesses for services. Scam artists rely on individuals agreeing to their terms without getting input from outside sources. It would be wonderful if the world were filled with only trustworthy individuals. But Virginia, there is no Santa Claus, and there are real life criminals. As responsible consumers, we have to take our rose-tinted glasses off, and protect ourselves from loss. In closing, the sheriff advises, “A lot of time, (with) these scams everything has to be done in a real hurry … slow the whole process down, so you can check them out.” Parting advice from the road less traveled, just like the sheriff said, “slow the whole process down” by turning the stove’s heat down to make your pans last longer to avoid burning them, also. As for the spaghetti sauce, treating the stain with a little Dawn or Palmolive dishwashing detergent prior to washing should do the trick. Sorry, I couldn’t resist sharing my hard-earned knowledge.

Kerlikowske, director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy in the White House, came to Portsmouth for a town hall on prescription drug abuse. Along with community leaders, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and others, we asked him to designate Scioto and Adams Counties as federal High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTAs). We succeeded in convincing him, and the designations came through in October, allowing these jurisdictions to better coordinate among law enforcement at the federal, state and local levels, and giving them much needed resources to fight an interstate, and thus federal, problem. The new HIDTA designations come on top of collective efforts that are already making a difference. In Scioto County there was a 17 percent decrease in accidental overdoses and a 42 percent decrease in drug-related deaths from 2010 to 2011. In December, law enforcement shut down the last of the infamous “pill mills,” which existed to distribute painkillers to addicts. Another critical tool is a prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP). This is a database that allows a state to identify abuse by monitoring and tracking the dispensing of prescription medications by health care

providers. Forty-one states have PDMPs, and preliminary research has shown PDMPs to be highly effective in stemming the tide of abuse. There’s a hiccup, however. The different state PDMPs can’t communicate with each other — even though drug trafficking is an interstate problem. This is particularly the case in Scioto County, which is right across the Ohio River from Kentucky and near West Virginia. In fact, this was one of the challenges we discussed with Director Kerlikowske at the Portsmouth town hall, where I talked about my work to put together legislation to address this issue. That legislation has now been introduced, and last week I was able to pass an amendment to Food and Drug Administration reauthorization legislation that will enable PDMPs to securely communicate with each other. I am now working with the House of Representatives to include it in the final legislation. As Hillsboro Police Chief Nick Thomas said after the amendment passed, “We’ve needed this for a long time.” There’s still a long road ahead in the fight against prescription drug abuse and drug abuse in general, but working together, we can help protect our families and communities, and make Ohio a better and healthier place to live.

Because the former Shelby County Fire Department received some equipment through grants, the EMA is seeking legal council to determine the best way to handle the situation. If the board gets an answer from the Prosecutor’s Office, there may be a special meeting to move forward on the disbursement of equipment. The board also approved the request of the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office for the use of the EMA vehicle and a generator at the Country Concert this year.

WE HAVE TO DO IT! Salvation is for the purpose of restoring authentic manhood and womanhood. Conversion is a new start to become complete in Jesus Christ. Jesus came for the purpose of perfecting the whole man. The goal of the Bible is to bring forth a complete spiritual man. The Holy Spirit is working to perfect the saints. Jesus began and we must finish. The greater works that the overcomers must do are the restoration of all things, restoring conditions to what they were in the Garden of Eden, releasing people from the kingdom of darkness, destroying all the works of the devil, and restoring men and women to the image of God. The man after God’s own heart is the one who get the job done, who fulfills God’s will. David was a man after God’s own heart. David sinned, but he repented and was forgiven. Just praying for peace will not get the job done. We must get involved in the battle. God chose the partnership of human beings. We have to get involved. There is work to be done. Our participation is essential. Jesus shows us the it is our role to fight the end time battle for him. The work of the righteousness will bring peace. The purpose of marriage is to work for the Kingdom of God. The man and the woman can do together what neither can do alone. The goal of marriage is to become like Jesus. The goal of God’s Master Plan is, through a reversal in the chain of events, to return to the perfection of the Garden of Eden. Believers, with the help of the Holy Spirit, must return thing to what they were in the beginning. All of the evil in the universe must be subdued and defeated. Negative things must be brought from the subconscious level and dealt with on the conscious level. WE HAVE TO DO IT! God and Christ will not do it for us. Christ has done His part; now we must do our part. Christ shows us the way, but we have to do it. We have to use our creative thought process to analyze what should be changed within us (or the church, nation or world) and then we have to use our free will to deliberately change and perfect whatever needs changed and perfecting. This is an impossibility without the help of the Holy Spirit as we study the Bible. Purification and perfection can take place only with the applied Word of God. To become what the Spoken Word is, we must engraft the Written Word into our hearts, minds, and souls, so that it is part of us forever. To become what the Spoken Word is, we must conform our every thought, word, and deed to the Written Word. The Body of Christ must emerge perfect, without spot or wrinkle. All sin must be destroyed. The Body of Christ must become unified in love. We must desire God’s will instead of our own will. Unless we love the Lord wholly, we cannot love our neighbor authentically. God is calling us to a higher place. We are complacent and content with what and where we are, but God wants a deeper relationship of maturity with us. If we don’t move forward, we will move backward. We are not our own. We are brought with a price to do the perfect will of God. – Dorothy Foster

Jockey hits NYC NEW YORK (AP) — Taking in the Manhattan skyline from atop the Empire State Building, Mario Gutierrez was a long way from his small hometown near Veracruz, Mexico. The 25-year-old jockey checked out the view on a sunny Tuesday morning in his first trip to the Big Apple. He’d already visited the ride that got him here, having stopped by Belmont Park earlier to check on I’ll Have Another. Gutierrez and the colt will try to win the Triple Crown for the first time in 34 years on Saturday in the Belmont Stakes. Standing 86 stories above the bustling city, Gutierrez smiled as a knot of photographers closed tightly in on him. “Mario, over here,” they shouted. “Turn this way.” He happily obliged as tourists craned their necks to see the short guy who is the poised to become the toast of the racing world. Later, Gutierrez told trainer Doug O’Neill about his adventure, admitting that he felt dizzy and joking that the historic building was “2 or 3 inches higher” than the roof at Pimlico where he won the Preakness on May 19. “I’m not huge on heights,” said O’Neill, who skipped the photo op and met up with his jockey on a rooftop overlooking Rockefeller Center. “You get a little nervous hearing about it.” Gutierrez has been unflappable since being thrust into the spotlight with I’ll Have Another’s comeback win in the Kentucky Derby on May 5. “He’s handled the pressure well and he knows his horse well,” former jockey Richard Migliore said. “He and the horse both have a lot of confidence in each other and that’s something that’s critical to their success.”

I’ll Have Another could become horse racing's 12th Triple Crown winner and first in 34 years on Saturday in the Belmont Stakes. Migliore plans to walk Belmont’s 1 1-2-mile course with Gutierrez on Thursday, pointing out its sweeping turns and long stretch that make the layout different than the mile tracks where most jockeys ride. Gutierrez is scheduled to ride some races Friday to get used to the conditions before laying it on the line Saturday. “Learn the poles, they’re very important,” said John Velazquez, who will be aboard Union Rags in the Belmont. “When you run in the Belmont, you got to know where you are.”

Indians hit 3 triples in win DETROIT (AP) — Ubaldo Jimenez pitched impressively into the seventh inning and the Cleveland Indians hit three run-scoring triples off rookie Drew Smyly in a 4-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night. Jimenez (6-4) allowed a run and five hits in 6 2-3 innings, striking out four and walking only one. The right-hander en-

tered the game with 42 walks in 56 innings this year. Three relievers finished for Cleveland. Chris Perez allowed a run in the ninth but held on for his 18th save in 19 chances. Asdrubal Cabrera, Lou Marson and Michael Brantley each hit RBI triples for Cleveland, which became the third team this season to hit three

triples in a game. Smyly (2-2) allowed four runs and six hits in six innings. The Indians made two sparkling defensive plays with Detroit trying to rally in the ninth. After a leadoff single by Delmon Young, Cabrera, the shortstop, barehanded Gerald Laird’s chopper and threw to second for a forceout.

Instead of zipping past McMath to avoid the last-place finish, Vogel put McMath’s arm around her shoulders, dragged her the final 20 meters and pushed her competitor over the finish line before crossing it.

Runner helps carry Ex-Reds Borbon dies of cancer competitor to finish line CINCINNATI (AP) — Pedro Borbon, who pitched 10 years for the Cincinnati Reds and helped the Big Red Machine win back-to-back World Series titles, died of cancer on Monday. He was 65. Borbon had been in hospice care at his home in Pharr, Texas, his son, Pedro, told The Associated Press in a phone interview. Borbon requested to be cremated without a memorial service, his son said. Borbon was a key member of the bullpen on Cincinnati’s 1975-76 championship teams, winning 13 games during those two seasons. He also pitched for the Angels, Giants and Cardinals. In 2010, he became the third reliever to be inducted into the Reds Hall of Fame. “He was probably most proud of the World Series championships,” he son said. “He would talk about it often. He was also proud that he never once had a sore arm. He could pitch almost every day.” Borbon appeared in more games than any other NL pitcher from 1970-78. He holds the club record with 531 career appearances. Borbon pitched in 20 playoff games

THIS MARCH 19, 1979 file photo shows Cincinnati Reds pitcher Pedro Borbon. Borbon, who pitched 10 years for the Reds and helped the Big Red Machine win back-toback World Series titles, has died of cancer. during his career with a 2.55 ERA. “The entire organization is very sad to hear of the loss of another member of our baseball family,” Reds owner Bob Castellini said. “Pedro was an important contributor to the success of the Big Red Machine, and he always will be remembered for his colorful

personality and his contributions to that wonderful time period in our history.” Borbon became part of baseball lore in 1995 when, at age 48, he decided to return to the game as a replacement player during Major League Baseball’s labor dispute. He joined the Reds in Florida for spring training and faced two batters. He struck out the only batter he faced in an exhibition against the Pirates in Bradenton. The Reds released him after he faced one batter in another game against the Indians, fell down while trying to field a bunt and threw wildly to first base for an error. Borbon also got notice for his mention in the 1980 movie “Airplane!” While trying to concentrate, pilot Ted Striker hears a public address announcer’s voice in his head: “Pinch hitting for Pedro Borbon … Manny Mota.” “He was always talking about that,” his son said. “A lot of people remember him by that. He liked that.” Another son, Pedro Jr., pitched nine seasons in the majors.

Legion wins first game of season TROY — The Sidney Legion baseball team posted its first win of the year Sunday when it split a doubleheader with the Troy Bombers. The team lost the first game 11-0 and won the second game 7-0, “Rusty (Hodgson) pitched a great game,” said coach Jason McLain. “We finally put a full game together with minimal errors. “We hit the ball better and capitalized with runners in scoring position. It was nice to get our first win,” he said. Hodgson pitched seven in-

nings in the second game of the doubleheader He had seven strikeouts, gave up three hits and walked two. His catcher was Dalton Bollinger. Sidney scored a run in the first inning without getting a hit. They added three runs in the second while the batters had three hits. They scored two more runs in the sixth inning on three hits. The final run came in the seventh inning and there was one hit. In addition to pitching his shutout, Hodgson went threefor-four at the plate with four

runs batted in. Bollinger went two for three with a double and two runs batted in. Treg Francis went two for four and had a double. Nick Buchanon also contributed a double. The Bombers had hits in the second, fifth and sixth innings. In the first game, Sidney was held to two hits. Bollinger and Hodgson each had a hit. The pitchers for the first game were Brad Caudill and Joe Dicke. The catcher was Cole Proffitt.

BY LISA CORNWELL Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — A western Ohio high school runner who helped a struggling competitor finish their race is being praised for her sportsmanship and trying to cope with the attention it has sparked. Meghan Vogel appreciates the accolades but said Tuesday that she is a bit overwhelmed by the praise that has been pouring in since Saturday’s track meet in Columbus. The 17-year-old West Liberty-Salem High School junior was in last place in the 3,200meter run as she caught up to Arlington High School sophomore Arden McMath, whose body was giving out. Instead of zipping past McMath to avoid the last-place finish, Vogel put McMath’s arm around her shoulders, half-dragging and half-carrying her about 30 meters to the finish line. Vogel, who pushed McMath over the line before crossing it, has been getting Facebook and Twitter messages and mail from friends and strangers saying she has inspired them with her sportsmanship. It’s an honor and very humbling,” Vogel said in a telephone interview from her West Liberty home. “I just thought I was doing the right thing, and I think others would have done the same.” But McMath, 16, of Findlay, said in a telephone interview from her northwestern Ohio home that she’s not so sure. “I’ really don’t think just everyone would have done that,” she said. “I just couldn’t believe what she did — especially pushing me in front of her — and I’m so grateful.” Both girls are a little hazy about the details. “The last thing I remember

was seeing Arden fall and then trying to get her to the finish line,” Vogel said. McMath remembered feeling like she was “blacking in and out” and falling a few times before Vogel helped her. Vogel, who had won the 1,600-meter race earlier, said she was emotional and tired from that when she began the longer race. She also felt “a little woozy” afterward and found herself next to McMath in the training room, where the Arlington student was being treated. McMath says her sodium levels apparently were low, but she has recovered. Vogel’s mother, Ann Vogel, is West Liberty-Salem’s track and field coach. Technically both runners should have been disqualified, but the official decided not to make that call, she said. Neither runner scored any points, so team standings weren’t affected. McMath finished 14th, and Vogel finished 15th. Ann Vogel said she’s very proud of her daughter, and the response has been amazing. “People were coming up to us in tears and hugging both of us after the race,” Ann Vogel said. She said she was surprised by some negative comments on the Internet and talk radio criticizing her daughter for a lack of competitiveness. “I can’t believe people would twist an act of kindness like that,” she said. The girls say they hope to stay in touch and expect the public attention to die down soon. “It’s been nice, but it also will be nice to get back to normal,” Meghan Vogel said. ——— Information from: Springfield News-Sun, http://www.springfieldnewssun.com

Fujita hasn’t lost fight amid scandal (AP) — BEREA Browns linebacker Scott Fujita admitted being in New Orleans’ locker room when former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams delivered his brutal pregame speech imploring the Saints to target players. Fujita said Tuesday he was escorting former teammate Steve Gleason, who is afflicted with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, in San Francisco last January when they attended New Orleans’ playoff game against the 49ers. Fujita, who has been suspended three games by the NFL for his role in the Saints’ bounty program, had not previously mentioned witnessing Williams’ vicious rant, which became public after it was released by a documentary filmmaker. Fujita reiterated he \ AP Photo/Mark Duncan feels Williams’ comments CLEVELAND BROWNS linebacker Scott Fujita were “highly inappropristretches before practice at the NFL football ate.” “I’m not proud of team's headquarters in Berea Tuesday.

things that were said by Gregg Williams and at the same time he’s a man I respect and loved playing for, so there’s definitely a conflict with all that,” Fujita said after the Browns opened their three-day minicamp. Fujita was with the Saints from 2006-09 before he signed as a free agent with Cleveland. He has appealed his suspension, but Monday’s ruling by an arbitrator that commissioner Roger Goodell has the authority to discipline players for their part in the payfor-hits program was a blow to his chances of getting his penalty reduced. “It’s certainly disappointing, but this is a part of the process,” he said. “You’ve just got to be patient and respect that process and just keep hoping for a positive outcome.” Fujita has maintained he never contributed money to the Saints’ pool

since being implicated in the scandal along with three other suspended players: linebacker Jonathan Vilma, defensive end Anthony Hargrove, now with Green Bay, and Saints defensive end Will Smith. Vilma, who has been suspended for all of next season, has filed a lawsuit defamation against Goodell. Fujita’s trying to remain upbeat during a personally challenging period when his reputation as an advocate for player safety has been questioned. The 32year-old serves as an executive member for the NFLPA, a position he has no plans of leaving. “I accept that responsibility,” he said. “I was nominated a few years ago for a reason. I wanted to be a part of that culture change and help in pushing forward more health and safety measures, getting new

benefits for the players and I take that seriously. I can’t walk away from the players on that.” Because of his higher profile, Fujita realizes he may have been targeted more than another player. However, the 10year veteran said he wouldn’t conduct himself any differently. “I don’t have any regrets for anything I’ve ever done,” he said. “You look back and you say things in meetings occasionally. Again, the pregame hype speech and bravado, it’s all kind of funny the next day and you laugh about it. Again, I don’t regret anything. It’s a part of the growth as a man and a football player. “Again, I’d like to keep this about football as much as possible and eliminate those distractions. Because if you let all that come in and take away from your focus, then you lose perspective.”

Eldora Speedway honored as Djokovic, Federer Tourism Citizen of the Year come back, set GREENVILLE — Tony Stewart’s Eldora Speedway was named as the recipient of the 2012 Tourism Citizen of the Year by the Darke County Visitors Bureau (DCVB). The award was presented by Roger Van Frank, vice president of the DCVB, to Eldora General Manager Roger Slack during Friday’s Darke County Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting at Romer’s Catering in Greenville. The Tourism Citizen of the Year award is the highest honor that the DCVB bestows annually. It acknowledges individuals or businesses within Darke County that recognize tourism and the value of its impact upon the county. The award recipients are chosen for their efforts to market outside of Darke County, to bring tourists into the area to enjoyed events, attractions, shops, accommodations and other aspects of the

tourism industry. In presenting the award, Van Frank stated, “The award recognizes those who have demonstrated extensive and diverse participation, leadership and support in public and/or private tourism endeavors over a period of years. This honor is bestowed upon a leader capable of getting others involved in tourism within the community.” Tony Stewart’s Eldora Speedway attracts more than 100,000 racing fans annually from across the United States and around the world. On average, it is estimated that 71 percent travel more than two hours to experience Eldora Speedway. “These race fans stay overnight at local accom-

modations and campgrounds in the area,” stated Deanna York, executive director of the Darke County Visitors Bureau. “These same attend Darke fans County events and enjoy the area attractions and parks. Their expendable income is spent in local restaurants, along with the local retail and grocery stores. They enjoy the quality of life offered in Darke County. “ This positive economic impact to the Darke County area is what led the Darke County Visitors Bureau to present its 2012 Tourism Citizen of the Year Award to Tony Stewart’s Eldora Speedway. “Tony Stewart is very committed to maintain-

ing the strong image that Eldora Speedway has within Darke County, and the entire racing world. Our entire staff is extremely honored to accept this award on his behalf,” Slack said. “Our marketing efforts bring a lot of people to Darke County, and many fans camp right at the speedway — looking for things to do while they await the great racing action,” said Larry Boos, operations manager at Eldora Speedway. “We make sure they know, that right at their doorstep, in Darke County, there are plenty of things to do, places to shop, places to eat and places to see.” For more information on Eldora Speedway, visit its website at www.EldoraSpeedway.co m.

$100,000 winner’s purse on the line Saturday ROSSBURG — With a $100,000 winner’s purse on the line, Saturday’s Dirt Late Model Dream by Ferris Commercial Mowers at Eldora Speedway remains as the richest payday of the year for Late Models. Second place in the 100-lap chase around the .500 mile clay oval pays $20,000, still a sizeable chunk – but with a difference of $80,000. That brings up the question, “you are running second, coming down for the checkered flag and within striking distance of the leader, what do you do?” Eddie Carrier Jr. of Salt Rock, W.Va., was in just that position at last year’s running of the World 100 at Eldora Speedway. The World 100 is the most revered Late Model race of the year, and a victory is cherished by all. Carrier had moved to within two car lengths of Jimmy Owens on the final lap and the door was open for

an attempt at a notorious Eldora ‘slide job’. Yet, Carrier opted to maintain his line and settle for runner-up honors. If the same scenario presented itself Saturday night, what would Carrier do? “You know, I would do the same thing. I don’t think I would risk a sure runner-up (spot) for a possible crash and not finish. But, $80,000 is a lot of money.” Defending Dirt Late Model Dream winner Don O’Neal has a different outlook. “Whatever it takes to win,” he said bluntly. “It’s that simple, you do whatever it takes – within reason. You got the Eldora slide jobs – if it’s on the last lap and they come up a little, well, not quite clean – well that’s part of Eldora. The slide jobs at Eldora are what made that place so famous, and that’s the way most races are won. Sometimes they come up a little short and you get the bad end of the stick, and sometimes it goes

the other way for you.” “Well, it depends on how close you are,” offered 2004 World 100 winner Chub Frank. “If you’re capable of winning, you’re probably gonna do a slider. But it really don’t matter – you’d do it for any amount of money. It’s really just about winning. I’m not gonna crash ‘em, but I’m gonna do whatever I gotta do.” Jimmy Mars’ career escalated with a 1997 Dirt Late Model Dream $100,000 victory. When posed the question of ‘what would you do’, he came back with, “depends on who it is”, with a laugh. “But really, I’ve been in the other situation where I could’ve gotten wrecked when I was leading it, so I doubt I’d do anything crazy. I’d do everything I could to try to pass the guy leading, but I’d try to do it clean.” UMP DIRTcar is the sanctioning body for the Dirt Late Model Dream by Ferris Commercial

Mowers, and Dennis Erb, Jr. has won that championship twice. His thoughts? “You’re gonna do what you need to do to win. There’s an $80,000 difference. You’re gonna race the guy as hard as you can race ‘em. You’re not gonna crash the guy, but you’re gonna do what it takes to try and get around them.” The question will be answered Saturday night, when the 18th annual $100,000 chase for the checkered flag unfolds. Friday night will kick-off the Dream with the traditional time trial runs and newly created qualifying features to fill Saturday’s six heat races. In addition to the heats, the Dream will be preceded by C and B features and new scramble races. Tickets for the Dirt Late Model Dream remain available online at www.EldoraSpeedway.co m or by calling the speedway office (937) 3383815.

French rematch PARIS (AP) — As the chilly evening air swirled, and raindrops fell, and the thousands of spectators pulling for his opponent hushed, Novak Djokovic stood a single point from exiting the French Open. A single point from losing to France’s JoWilfried Tsonga in the quarterfinals at Roland Garros. A single point from losing the chance to pursue a fourth consecutive Grand Slam title, something no man has done in 43 years. Steeling himself with so much at stake, Djokovic came through, taking that crucial point thanks to an overhead that skimmed off the baseline to set up a putaway volley. Seconds later, he faced the same predicament — one point from defeat — and came through again, this time with a leaping forehand that barely landed in. All told, Djokovic faced four match points against Tsonga and won each one, extending the contest until seizing control for good. Djokovic won his 26th Grand Slam match in a row Tuesday, coming back and beating the fifth-seeded Tsonga 6-1, 5-7, 5-7, 7-6 (6), 6-1

to set up a French Open rematch against 16time major champion Roger Federer. A year ago in the semifinals at Roland Garros, Federer ended Djokovic’s 43match winning streak, the last time the Serb lost at one of tennis’ four most important tournaments. “Tennis is very mental. Lots of emotions,” said the No. 1-ranked Djokovic, who won Wimbledon last July, the U.S. Open last September, and the Australian Open in January. “If you’re playing a top player, a home favorite, and you have a crowd that’s supporting him, you have to face these things. Physically, we’re all fit, all hitting the ball well. But mentally, it’s just a matter of a point here, a point there. That’s sport. The one that mentally pushes more in some moments — and gets a bit lucky — gets the win.” Federer also fashioned a come-frombehind victory, and while he never was confronted with a match point, he did drop the first two sets before getting past No. 9 Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina 3-6, 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-0, 6-3.

FOOTBALL

The NFL’s offseason has been dominated by litigation. A look at the various cases, some settled, some likely to last for months. SAINTS BOUNTIES Players’ union files two grievances with separate arbitrators, seeking to remove NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell from punishing players. Arbitrator Stephen Burbank rules that Goodell has authority to discipline players in Saints’ bounty program. Union is appealing, claiming CBA reached last August to end lockout gives Burbank power to impose penalties, if necessary. New Orleans linebacker Jonathan Vilma is suspended for 2012 season, and DE Will Smith for four games. Former Saints LB Scott Fujita, now with Browns, is docked for three games. But Burbank also invites Goodell to clarify basis for his eightgame suspension of Anthony Hargrove, now with Packers, who was found by league to have lied to investigators and obstructed investigation. Union also has asked arbitrator Shyam Das to prohibit Goodell from punishing players for any conduct before the CBA was signed last August. The league’s investigation showed the bounty program ran from 2009-11. Das has yet to rule on that grievance, which also seeks to have player appeals heard by Art Shell and Ted Cottrell, who are jointly appointed by the league and union to review discipline handed out for on-field conduct. DEFAMATION Vilma has sued Goodell in U.S. District Court in New Orleans for defamation. Goodell has until July 5 to respond to charges that he “relied on, at best, hearsay, circumstantial evidence and lies” in making comments about Vilma while discussing the NFL’s bounty investigation of the Saints. Goodell has said Vilma was a leader of the team’s bounty program that put up thousands of dollars for hits on targeted players. SALARY CAP Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys file grievance after they are docked total of $46 million of salary cap room in 2012 and ‘13 for overspending in 2010, an uncapped year. Redskins had cap reduced $36 million over the two years and Cowboys lost $10 million in cap space. Arbitrator rules in favor of NFL and teams don’t appeal. COLLUSION NFLPA files complaint in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis, which oversees the Reggie White settlement covering NFL labor matters, and accuses NFL of having secret salary cap in uncapped 2010 season. NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith says such collusion could have cost players $1 billion in wages. This lawsuit stems, in part, from NFL stripping Redskins and Cowboys of salary cap space for 2012 and ‘13. League says union has no grounds for action and is prohibited from filing it by collective bargaining agreement. OFFICIALS This one hasn’t gotten to court, but did wind up in mediation — for all of two sessions. CBA expired after last season, and league is looking into hiring replacement officials. Players’ union is supporting officials, saying NFL is toying with player safety by considering replacements. RETIREES A lawsuit filed against the NFLPA by retirees, with Pro Football Hall of Famer Carl Eller the lead plaintiff, gets dismissed by a federal judge in Minnesota. U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson rules retirees had no legal right to hundreds of millions of dollars in additional post-career benefits they TENNIS claimed they lost during lockout talks last year.

MAYOR to purchase this parcel. Their acquisition of this property will benefit them and ultimately, the entire community. “Some months ago, the West Ohio Development Council conducted a series of round table discussions with the chief executives of some of our major employers. One of the themes that emerged from those meetings was the need to improve the first impression for visitors to the city. Using grant monies from the Ohio Department of Transportation and from local industries, the southern quadrants of Exit 92 were enhanced with plantings in the spring. We expect to be able to plant the northern quadrants in the fall,” Barhorst explained.

From Page 1 Traffic counts indicate that the Interstate 75/Ohio 47 interchange is the primary gateway to the city of Sidney. The design for the interchange, created by Jacyn Design Group, provide for the beautification of the interchange and the surrounding area to create an inviting and aesthetically pleasing impression upon those driving into the community. “These are the first phases of The Gateway Project, which was envisioned as a way to welcome visitors to the city of Sidney,” Barhorst said. “Another phase includes the acquisition and demolition of this property.

Park Director Duane Gaier updated Recreation Board members on the city’s Interstate 75 Gateway project during the board’s June meeting Monday afternoon. He said the beautification project at the I-75 and Ohio 47 exchange was completed May 29. More than 2,500 individual plants and trees have been installed on either side of the interstate approach funded by a grant from the Ohio Department of Transportation and a gift from Emerson Climate Technologies. The ODOT Grant provided $28,000 for trees and plantings and Emerson’s gift totaled $20,000. The city provided labor and materials for the landscaping which was done by K & R. Landscaping of Leipsic. Gaier showed architect’s drawings of the project and photos of its various phases in a power point presentation to board members. Jennie Rogers, recreation specialist, reported there were 200 paid admissions and 291 passes honored for the opening of the municipal swimming pool Saturday and Sunday. Reporting on Mayfest Soccer, Gaier told board members 128 Ohio teams participated, including 16 local teams. A total of 250 games were played. He said several coaches commented local playing fields were the best their teams had played on. Board members elected Kelty Inman chairman and Mary Jannides secretary during the annual rotation of officers.

Sidney native’s book offers geologic history of U.S. Tawawa Park’s Big Rock among sites noted The Big Rock in Tawawa Park, a familiar sight for Shelby County picnickers and dog-walkers and a longtime challenge for youngsters eager to explore, now has a Dickas new claim to fame. In the new book, “101 American Geo-Sites You’ve Gotta See,” Big Rock is one of three sites from Ohio. Author Albert B. Dickas, a native of Sidney and wellknown writer to readers of the Shelby County Historical Society’s “Historical Highlights,” trains his geologist’s spyglass on the rock not only to reveal its composition — what he terms “garden-variety granite” — but to trace its origin in southeastern Canada and the journey of some 700 miles that brought the 103-ton behemoth to rest in its present-day leafy home. Dickas put aside his personal memories of skinned knees and rampant curiosity that marked the times he climbed the rock as an 11-

year-old to trace his fingers through the names etched on it (including that of William Binkley, his great-grandfather) to focus on geologic history, since this book is designed to provide background for travelers interested in learning how the history of the United States has evolved over billions of years. Included are volcanoes, fossils, boulder fields, meteoritic impact sites, salt domes, singing sands and dancing rocks, to name just a few. Featuring easy-to-understand maps and charts, line drawings, and photographs, the book includes at least one site in each state, plus an introductory section on age-dating, the plate tectonics theory and the geologic history of the earth. Having graduated from Holy Angels High School, Dickas received both bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Miami University in Oxford, before earning his Ph.D. at Michigan State University. After some years working in the oil industry in California and Louisiana, he joined the faculty of the University of Wisconsin-Superior, where he spent 31 years. He is the author of

The move to expanded hours and a new location for the show was necessary due to increased attendance and more interest on the part of old boat owners for a larger venue to exhibit. At the pavilion there is plenty of parking, and boats can be shown either in the water (boat ramps available) or displayed on land. Dash plaques will be given to the first 50 boat exhibitors who register when they arrive. The 40-by-60-foot pavilion features many available picnic tables.

In Loving Memory Of

Kathy Bodenmiller Smith who passed away June 6, 2004 God saw you were getting tired And a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you And whispered, “Come with me.” With tear-filled eyes we watched You suffer and fade away. Although we love you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.
