BOWLING GREEN — The commercial truck driver arrested in Shelby County over the weekend with a teenage girl in the rig, is facing one McKinley count of felony kidnapping in Bowling Green Municipal Court in a preliminary hearing on Monday. FBI agents and police are continuing their investigation of the incident as a possible case of human trafficking. Court records indicate a 17-year-old girl, found earlier at a Wood County rest stop, told Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers she had been forced to engage in sexual activity with the trucker while in Ohio before her captor drove her and a another 16-year-old girl to Detroit. She also alleged she had been ordered to cooperate with demands to have sexual activity with others.
COUNTY
The suspect, Daren McKinley, 30, of Kentucky, is being held in the Wood County Jail in lieu of $85,000 bond according to the court’s Website. Acting on a report from the caretaker of the rest area at Interstate 75 milepost 179 in Wood County, troopers from the Piqua Post of the highway patrol eventually located the semi-trailer and its occupants along I75 southbound milepost 98 near Anna at 5:30 p.m. Saturday and arrested McKinley. Both girls are reportedly from the Louisville, Ky., area and have been reportedly placed in protective custody or returned to their families. The FBI’s Toledo office said the older girl told agents she had been transported up from Kentucky, through Ohio and Michigan and at some point the other girl was picked up along the way. The 16-year-old reportedly told state troopers from the Piqua Post she was in the rig on her own free will.

SHOES The Kamaus are currently visiting the United States, mainly to thank those who are assisting with their project, which supports Kenya’s widows and children through the purchase of land to build homes. The Yoders became involved with the Well of Hope through their daughter Angie, and have made four trips to Kenya in the past few years. “I was quite impressed,” Jane Yoder said of her first visit. “Just to realize how much need there was there. We tend to think everyone lives like we do in the U.S. That’s not true. There are no social programs like we have here.” Jane Yoder said she was “much impressed” by the Kamau couple’s diligence in helping women in need in their country. Zipporah Kamau said she believes she was destined to begin the Well of Hope International project. “I truly believe I was called to help these women. It came to me as a dream. I felt there was a need to wake up and restore needs to these women,” she said. “I started pursuing my own dream.” The dream became a reality when the Kamaus decided to collect used shoes to be sold in their country to earn money to
From Page 1 better the lives of Kenyan women and children. Shoes collected in the United States are shipped in sea containers via an expedited shipping company at a cost of $10,000, Dean Yoder said. “We work with churches, have fundraisers and get donations,” he said, in order to be able to ship the containers from Newport News, Va. Upon arrival in Kenya, the shoes go through customs and the Well of Hope organization pays taxes in order for the container to enter their country. Dealers are then present to purchase the shoes, which are placed in retail outlets for those who are in need to purchase. “Many people are not able to buy new — you have people ready to buy the used,” Nathaniel Kamau said of the shoes collected here, so far in Ohio, Virginia and Indiana. The Kamaus explain that the reason the Well of Hope program had rather collect used shoes than accept cash donations is because everyone can participate. “We don’t want money from Americans,” Nathaniel Kamau said. “We need shoes. Anyone can give shoes — a rich person, a middle person, even the children. Not all people can give money.” The shoes are the com-
modity, which the Well of Hope relies on to raise the money to purchase land to build homes for those who are widowed and their children. So far, 200plus people have been able to settle in these homes, Nathaniel Kamau said. According to Zipporah Kamau, the large widowed population in Kenya is due to natural death as well as complications due to AIDS. “AIDS is still claiming many lives,” Zipporah Kamau said. “People don’t want to change their lifestyle.” Many women who are widowed are “chased out of their matrimonial homes,” the Kamaus said, by the deceased’s husband’s family. “They don’t want the women to inherit the property,” Zipporah Kamau said. “Our coun-
try is still struggling with equal rights.” The homes being constructed by Well of Hope are not owned by the individual women, so they cannot sell the home or land that they live in. Rather, the property is jointly owned with Well of Hope. The Kamaus also visited with the congregation and pastor of New Covenant Community Church in Staunton, Va., during their trip to the U.S. The church’s pastor, Jim Logan, learned of the Well of Hope when he traveled to Kenya for a wedding. He visited with the Kamaus in their home, returned to Virginia, helped collect two sea containers of shoes, then returned with several members of his congregation to help construct homes for the widows. “We wanted to visit
and thank them for their work,” Nathaniel Kamau said. Locally, the Yoders have worked with several churches, businesses and organizations to help collect used shoes for their “community to community” ministry. They just sent a container of 14,000 pairs of shoes that were collected between spring 2011 and spring 2012. Those who would like to participate may do so by dropping off shoes at the following Miami County locations: • Covington Savings and Loan, 223 N. Miami St., Bradford or 117 N. High St., Covington • East of Chicago Pizza, 1560 Covington Ave., Piqua • Elizabeth Township Community Center, 5760 W. Walnut Grove Road, Troy • Fifth Third Bank,

SENTENCE shocked, disappointed. It was my expectation that he (Kimpel) would receive some period of incarceration. I did not think he would be sent to prison because the judge’s hands were tied because of the new sentencing law. But I did think he would get an intermittent local (jail) sentence.” Lindeman, who did not address Kimpel’s wrongdoing during the sentencing, also did not adhere to a request from the prosecution that Kimpel not be allowed to maintain a concealed carry weapon (CCW) permit and did not block Kimpel’s return to law enforcement.The prosecutors had asked that Kimpel be banned from law enforcement for life, but he will now be eligible to return to that line of work upon completion of his probation. Lindeman told the Sidney Daily News why he chose not to give Kimpel jail time: “Under the new sentencing laws, he was a candidate for mandatory community control (probation). That’s what he got. I almost never give intermittent jail sentences down here (Miami County) because they cost the county money, clog up the county jail. “It’s a felony charge. If they (prosecutors) want intermittent (jail) time, they ought to charge people with misdemeanors. I can give that kind of misdemeanor sentence. On the felony side, if I send somebody, it’s going to be to the penitentiary. It’s not going to be to the local jail where the jail space is needed for municipal court judges, using it to keep their docket under control and (to) put their people in jail at the local level.” Under Ohio law, Kimpel’s sentence had to be charged as a felony. Lindeman said he had no knowledge of a request for a suspension of Kimpel’s CCW permit. “Where did that come from? he said. “That’s the first I’ve heard about it. There was nothing in the plea agreement about a CCW.” Talking about the request for Kimpel’s life-

time ban from law enforcement, Lindeman said, “I don’t know what he’s going to do. It’s not necessarily a condition of the community control sanction, but that is their agreement and I think both sides would have to abide by it. My sanction only applies as long as he’s on community control. Once they’re off community control, I lose my jurisdiction and I no longer have any way to enforce that. It means nothing really. I don’t know what he’s (Kimpel) going to do.” Lindeman said there was a reason he chose not to lecture Kimpel at his sentencing: “A lot of times the people I see don’t even have a high school education. Many of them don’t get past the eighth, ninth grade, at least in Miami County. I don’t see that many college-educated (individuals) or people who have additional training beyond high school. So I give speels to certain folks who may not quite get what I’m trying to get at. In Kimpel’s case, he has advanced training. He has some skills. He’s been in law enforcement for a number of years, so clearly he knew what he was doing.” Lindeman said he has nothing to say to local law enforcement about the sentencing: “I don’t like to argue with people after the sentence is over with. I can only say that for a person to lose his job and be humiliated in front of the community and to be limited in what he can do in the future, they (law enforcement) can give their definition of justice and I’ll look at the (Ohio) Revised Code and come up with what I think is appropriate under the circumstances. I thought that was an appropriate sentence. That’s all I can say.” If Kimpel violates probation, Lindeman said, “I’d give him nine months. I wouldn’t even hesitate to do it. That was what I told him. If he violated any terms or conditions of community control, nine months in the pen. And if you check up here, you’ll find I usually do that.”

From Page 1 the current 0.5 percent sales tax has been in place for 23 years and has been approved by voters four times in that time period. Board members stressed that the proposal will not increase taxes for residents; only re-allocate current funds to better serve the county’s needs. “We are at a crossroads where our revenues will no longer provide for the necessary county services and still maintain our infrastructure,” Commissioner Julie Ehemann said. “It has been a difficult decision, but this is necessary for us to do both.” A second hearing on the issue will be held Thursday at 10 a.m. in commissioners’ office in the annex building.

Fired Edison professor claims discrimination BY WILL E SANDERS Ohio Community Media wsanders@dailycall.com
fessor, Ruth Barney, a marketing instructor, was given a year’s extension before her position will be terminated. “Of all the three folks that were retrenched, nobody was under (the age of) 50,” said the 61year-old professor. “I think age discrimination will be hard to prove, but like I said, nobody was under 50.” Fleishman added that according to contract language, there were other classes he “should have been offered,” but “that wasn’t even given to me as an option.”

School to auction many items BY JENNIFER RUNYON Ohio Community Media editorial@dailycall.com PIQUA — One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. And, there’s lots of treasure to be found at the Upper Valley Career Center this week. The school is auctioning off approximately 85 percent of its loose furnishings and appliances during a public auction set for Saturday. Through its building project with the Ohio School Facilities Commission, the school is replacing old items with new. Like the construction, the new furnishings are co-funded by the state with taxpayers covering 25 percent of the cost. According to Pat Gibson, director of business operations, the auction will offer many kitchen items as the culinary arts department as well as the cafeteria have both received new equipment. “There’s a lot of Hobart equipment,” he said, adding that the kitchen items are industrial-grade stainless steel. Many classroom and office furnishings, including bookcases, desks, chairs and filing cabinets, also will be available. And, the school will be auctioning off some of its technology items, such as laptop and desktop computers, projectors and monitors. Also, a 1990 Pontiac, a GMC cargo van and welders will be up for auction. The school has 1,800 square feet of space filled with items to auction in tents, located between the Career Center and the Applied Technology Center. This includes items that Gibson calls “unique” such as stainless-steel countertops and a commercial washer and dryer. There are no reserves for any of the items. The auction starts at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, with previewing beginning at 8 a.m. Proceeds from the auction will go into the school’s general fund and will be used to support the school’s various programs.

Duel in Ohio: Obama, Romney campaign BY STEVE PEOPLES Associated Press CLEVELAND (AP) — President Barack Obama cast his re-election race against Republican Mitt Romney as the economic choice of a lifetime on Thursday, seeking to stir undecided voters and asking the nation to buy into his vision for four more years or face a return to the recession-era “mistakes of the past.” Said Romney: “Talk is cheap.” From opposite ends of Ohio, a state vital to both of their political futures, Romney and Obama dueled in economic speeches that set the tone for a fierce, final five months of debate. At the core, the pitches were the political foes’ familiar, fundamentally different takes on how get to an economically aching nation soaring again. “That’s really what this election is about,” Obama said in his most detailed case for a second term. “That’s what is at stake right now. Everything else is just noise.” Romney went first from Cincinnati, a Republican stronghold in the state, and he described Obama’s administration as the very “enemy” of

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney shakes hands during a campaign stop at Seilkop Industries in Cincinnati Thursday. people who create jobs. “Look what’s happened across this country,” Romney said. “If you think things are going swimmingly, if you think the president’s right when he said the private sector is doing fine, then he’s the guy to vote for.” But he questioned why anyone would do that, saying if the job isn’t getting done, pick “someone who can do a better job.” The backdrop was Ohio, seen by political strategists as a state that
could swing the election. It went to Obama last time, and George W. Bush before that, and it remains crucial for both competitors this year — particularly Romney. No Republican has ever won the presidency without winning Ohio. Romney gave what amounted to his standard speech, albeit realigned as a prebuttal as Obama was pulling into his event site at the top of the state. Given the tight presidential race and the enor-
mous interest in the economy, the two speeches offered anticipation of a big campaign moment, but the substance yielded little new. This was Obama in professor mode, filling his speech with budget numbers and history and talk of independent analysts. It was an economics case, yet hardly one of roaring rhetorical lift. The goal for Obama was not to uncork new proposals but to define a contrast. He is still pushing tax credits and other jobs ideas that have awaited action in Congress for months. On Thursday, he said the election is an opportunity for voters to step in and “break the stalemate.” In essence, Obama said Romney would gut government and cut taxes for the rich at the expense of everyone else. Romney said Obama is crushing the free market with regulation. Obama said, “If you believe this economy grows best when everybody gets a fair shot and everybody does their fair share and everybody plays by the same set of rules, then I ask you to stand with me for a second term as president.” He made a concerted

Ohio preps for Kasich: State setting example for D.C. drilling, researches mineral rights
Feds oppose dismissal of pill mill charge COLUMBUS (AP) — A woman convicted of running a pill mill that illegally prescribed thousands of painkillers protected her patient base by making sure the office didn’t turn away clients visiting multiple doctors looking for drugs, government prosecutors allege. To do that, Nancy Sadler told an employee to stop putting notes in
the files of patients suspected of “doctor shopping,” according to a government filing in federal court. Sadler, 49, also directed the production of fake patient files to speed up the examination process to allow the pain management clinic she and her husband operated to make as much as $20,000 a day, prosecutors argued.
ing include getting Ohio’s educational institutions and private employers with job openings working in tandem to boost employment, and tracking schoolchildren beginning as early as first grade to the careers they might pursue as adults. Kasich, stung last year by the repeal of a sweeping collective bargaining law, said he is “exhilarated” by lawmakers’ openness to change. He credited both parties for helping craft bills that radically rewrite state fiscal, tax, criminal justice, education and energy policy.

Separate trials are scheduled later this year for Inman’s parents, who have pleaded not guilty to charges in the death.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio officials are cataloging how much state property sits above the Utica shale as they prepare for potential gas and oil drilling in state parks and forests, which were opened to drilling under a law enacted last year. When lawmakers were debating that idea, officials from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources had said the state owned less than one-third of the mineral rights under state parks, and they didn’t know who held the rights for land in some cases. State workers have spent three months reviewing property records in 16 eastern Ohio counties with the most active shale drilling, stretching from Trumbull County south to Monroe County and west to Muskingum County, The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/M6OuYX ) reported. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources says the research in those counties is almost done. “This demonstrates the level of work that is necessary in terms of identifying the mineral rights that are owned by the state,” spokesman Carlo LoParo said. “Many properties contain hundreds of parcels, all of which had to be researched.” More research is planned in up to 19 other counties with less active shale drilling, with possibilities ranging from Ashtabula County in the northeast corner to Meigs County in southern Ohio.
BEXLEY (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich said Thursday that he and state lawmakers have ushered in the most aggressive policy overhaul the state has ever seen, affecting everything from inner-city schools and shale-drilling fields to college campuses and prison yards. And the Republican governor is promising even more to come. “You ain’t seen nothing yet,” Kasich remarked at a gathering at the Governor’s Residence in a Columbus suburb.

Grandpa sentenced PHOENIX (AP) — An Indiana man convicted of child abuse for forcing his three grandsons on two grueling hikes in the Grand Canyon in August heat has been sentenced to more than two years in prison. Christopher Alan Carlson was sentenced Thursday in federal court to a 27-month prison term. He was convicted in March on three counts of criminally negligent child abuse and will get credit for nearly 10 months already served. The 45-year-old Carlson told investigators that his grandsons were overweight and that he thought hiking the Grand Canyon would get them into shape. They were 8, 9 and 12 at the time.
OPEC to keep barrel output target VIENNA (AP) — OPEC oil ministers agreed Thursday to keep their production target steady, in a compromise meant to defuse rivalries between Iran and Saudi Arabia and to send a soothing message to economically troubled consuming nations. Oil prices have fallen more than 20 percent over the past two months, and a statement from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries citied “downside risks facing the global economy” and ample stocks of crude as being responsible for the trend. While agreeing to hold the output target steady, however, the statement suggested that OPEC ministers were ready to come together on short notice if prices fell to levels dictating a production cutback.
Panel ups spending WASHINGTON (AP) — A Senate panel divided along party lines Thursday to approve legislation funding President Barack Obama’s health care and financial services overhaul laws and boosting spending on the IRS and Pell Grants for low-income college students. The twin Appropriations Committee votes, 1614, came on two spending bills for the budget year beginning Oct. 1, but there’s virtually no chance the measures — or any of the 12 annual agency spending bills — become law by then. They now go to the full Senate for consideration. Republicans uniformly opposed the measures, chiefly over money for health care and new Wall Street rules.

Horse hit by stun gun CALIFORNIA, Pa. (AP) — State police say they used a stun gun and lasso to catch an unbridled horse that was running loose on a Pennsylvania highway. State police say the horse was spotted near the California, Pa., exit of the Mon-Fayette Expressway about 7:15 p.m. Wednesday. Police say the horse would run away when they approached, so they used the stun gun and lasso to subdue and control the animal. Police say they can’t find the owner. They say the animal wasn’t saddled and had no identifying brandings or other marks.

Low prices, weak hiring raise odds of Fed action WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. job market is flagging, and consumer prices are barely rising. The picture sketched by data released Thursday has made some economists predict the Federal Reserve will announce some new step next week to boost the economy. Applications for unemployment benefits rose last week, pointing to a fourth straight month of sluggish hiring in June. And consumer prices were pulled down in May by a plunge in gas prices. Weak job growth raises pressure on the Fed because part of its mission is to boost employment. And mild infla-
tion gives policymakers more leeway to act. If inflation were threatening to accelerate, Fed policymakers might feel compelled to raise interest rates. Fed officials are “likely to go into that meeting feeling a little chastened and looking for a way to support the economy,” said Jeremy Lawson, an economist at BNP Paribas. Expectations that the Fed will take some action sent stocks soaring Thursday. And stocks surged higher in the final hour of trading after a report said major central banks were prepared to pump money into global financial markets if necessary. The Dow Jones industrial
average jumped 155 points to end the day at 12,652, a gain of 1.2 percent. Broader indexes also ended the day higher. The Fed’s policymaking committee meets on June 1920. Economists say the Fed is likely to extend a current program during the meeting that swaps short-term Treasury securities for bonds with longer maturities. The program expires at the end of the month. Known as “Operation Twist,” the goal is to further lower long-term interest rates to encourage borrowing and spending. Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial, said allowing the program to
end could result in tighter credit and make it harder for Americans to buy or refinance homes. The reason: a key part of the program is buying new mortgage-backed securities with the proceeds from those that mature. Without those purchases, banks might issue fewer mortgages. Earlier this year it seemed less likely that the Fed would extend Operation Twist. Employers created an average of 252,000 a month from December through February. Conwere growing sumers confident in the economy and spending at the fastest pace in more than a year.
Egypt court dissolves parliament CAIRO (AP) — Judges appointed by Hosni Mubarak dissolved the Islamistdominated parliament Thursday and ruled his former prime minister eligible for the presidential runoff election this weekend — setting the stage for the military and remnants of the old regime to stay in power. The politically charged rulings dealt a heavy blow to the fundamentalist Islamic Brotherhood, with one senior member calling the decisions a “fullfledged coup,” and the group vowed to rally the public against Ahmed Shafiq, the last prime minister to serve under Mubarak. The decision by the Supreme Constitutional Court effectively erased the tenuous progress from Egypt’s troubled transition in the past year, leaving the country with no parliament and concentrating power even more firmly in the hands of the generals who took over from Mubarak. Several hundred people gathered in Cairo’s Tahrir Square after the rulings to denounce the action and rally against Shafiq, the presidential candidate seen by critics as a symbol of Mubarak’s autocratic rule. But with no calls by the Brotherhood or other groups for massive demonstrations, the crowd did not grow. Activists who engineered Egypt’s uprising have long suspected that the generals would try to cling to power, explaining that after 60 years as the nation’s single most dominant institution, the military would be reluctant to surrender its authority or leave its economic empire to civilian scrutiny.

EGYPTIAN PROTESTERS chant slogans against the country's military ruling council and presidential candidate Ahmed Shafiq, as one holds a poster with merged photos of ousted President Hosni Mubarak and Ahmed Shafiq, in Tahrir Square in Cairo, Egypt Thursday. Judges appointed by Hosni Mubarak dissolved the Islamistdominated parliament Thursday and ruled that Mubarak’s former prime minister can stand in the presidential runoff this weekend — setting the stage for the military and remnants of the old regime to stay in power. Shafiq’s rival in the Saturday-Sunday runoff, Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood, said he was unhappy about the rulings but accepted them. “It is my duty as the future president of Egypt, God willing, to separate between
the state’s authorities and accept the rulings,” the U.S.-trained engineer said in a television interview. Late Thursday, he told a news conference: “Millions will go to the ballot boxes on Saturday and Sunday to say ‘no’ to the tyrants.”
Pentagon to mark gay pride month WASHINGTON (AP) — Last summer, gays in the military dared not admit their sexual orientation. This summer, the Pentagon will salute them, marking June as gay pride month just as it has marked other celebrations honoring racial or ethnic groups. In the latest remarkable sign of change since the military repealed the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, the Defense Department will soon hold its first event to recognize gay and lesbian troops. It comes nine months after repeal of the policy that had banned gay troops from serving openly and forced more than 13,500 service members out of the armed forces. Details are still being worked out, but officials say Defense Secretary Leon Panetta wants to honor the contributions of gay service members. “Now that we’ve repealed ‘don’t ask, don’t tell,’ he feels it’s important to find a way this
month to recognize the service and professionalism of gay and lesbian troops,” said Navy Capt. John Kirby, a spokesman. This month’s event will follow a long tradition in the Pentagon of recognizing diversity in America’s armed forces. Hallway displays and activities, for example, have marked Black History Month and Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month. Although some feared repeal of the ban on serving openly would cause problems in the ranks, officials and gay advocacy groups say no big issues have materialized — aside from what advocacy groups criticize as slow implementation of some changes, such as benefit entitlements to troops in same-sex marriages. Basic changes have come rapidly since repeal — the biggest that gay and lesbian soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines no longer have to hide
their sexuality in order to serve. They can put photos on their office desk without fear of being outed, attend social events with their partners and openly join advocacy groups looking out for their interests. OurServe, a once-clandestine professional association for gay service members, has nearly doubled in size to more than 5,500 members. It held its first national convention of gay service members in Las Vegas last fall, then a conference on family issues this year in Washington. At West Point, the alumni gay advocacy group Knights Out was able to hold the first installment in March of what is intended to be an annual dinner in recognition of gay and lesbian graduates and Army cadets. Gay students at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis were able to take samesex dates to the academy’s Ring Dance for third-year midshipmen.
Panetta said last month that military leaders had concluded that repeal had not affected morale or readiness. A report to Panetta with assessments from the individual military service branches said that as of May 1 they had seen no ill effects. “I don’t think it’s just moving along smoothly, I think it’s accelerating faster than we even thought the military would as far as progress goes,” said Air Force 1st Lt. Josh Seefried, a finance officer and co-director of OutServe. He said acceptance has been broad among straight service members and has put a spotlight on unequal treatment that gays continue to receive in some areas. “We are seeing such tremendous progress in how much the military is accepting us, but not only that — in how much the rank and file is now understanding the inequality that’s existing right now,” he said.
NYC ban on big sodas could face legal test NEW YORK (AP) — If New York City bans big sodas, what’s next on the list? Large slices of pizza? Double-scoop ice cream cones? Tubs of movie-theater popcorn? The 16-ounce strip steak? The proposed crackdown on super-sized drinks could face a legal challenge from those who oppose the first-in-thenation rule and fear the city isn’t going to stop with beverages. Mayor Michael Bloomberg
wants to bar restaurants, movie theaters, sports arenas, food carts and delis from selling sodas and other sugary drinks in servings larger than 16 ounces, saying it is a way to fight obesity in a city that spends billions of dollars a year on weight-related health problems. Whether that’s legal, though, is a matter of dispute and may be tested. “We’re going to look at all of our options to protect our
business, our rights to do business and our rights not to be discriminated against. We won’t take anything off the table,” said Steve Cahillane, a senior executive with CocaCola. The city Board of Health, appointed by the mayor, is expected to approve the measure after a three-month comment period. It could take effect as early as March, unless the critics who accuse Bloomberg of instituting a
“nanny state” can get the courts or state lawmakers to step in. It’s not just businesses and industry groups that could sue. In theory, any individual affected by the ban could bring a legal challenge. But it wouldn’t be enough to simply claim that the ban infringes on personal freedom, said Rick Hills, a New York University law professor specializing in local government law and New York City.

Then she suffered a confracture of her right foot which resulted in surgery. That is when the doctors began to suspect muscular dystrophy. I also began noticing Loretta starting to fall more often and at first just thought she was being clumsy, but it seemed to get worse and a muscle biopsy confirmed our fears. (Editor’s Note: Limb-Girdle 2A is an inherited type of muscular dystrophy. Age of onset varies but the disease takes its victims from full mobility to a wheelchair most often by age 30, sometimes sooner.) We know that God doesn’t make mistakes and sometimes we don’t understand it all. For now, let us keep our trust in him. I still struggle with accepting this diagnosis. I pray God can give me the strength and patience that will be needed in the years ahead. Loretta seems to be worsening faster than Verena. I have been taking her to therapy twice a week for the last six months, but her condition seems to worsen with time. Going up steps seems to be the most difficult challenge for her. Verena had surgery to lengthen her heel cord last fall. After several months of therapy, she seems to have gone into remission, but still wears an ankle brace for support. Otherwise she seems to be doing well. We have tried the braces for Loretta and they do not seem to work so well for her. After today, I
think they feel grateful after seeing all the worse handicaps that were there. May God bless each one of them and help them accept the changes in life their diagnosis brings. Like to keep things as normal as possible, so I’ll end the column the way I always do, with a recipe. With zucchini season coming, try this recipe!

Add vanilla and zucchini and mix. Combine flour, cinnamon, soda, baking powder and creamed mixture and stir. Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts and mix. Pour into two, greased loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for an hour. Use toothpick test to be sure they are done.

Let’s declare USPSValassis deal proposal ‘shipwrecked’ We’ve always been forewarned of get-richquick programs and the person who wants to make that quick deal for everyone’s benefit. A deal without qualified supporting research is like purchasing a boat that has yet to be declared “seaworthy.” The U.S. Postal Service continues to search for an answer to slowing its expected $14 billion annual losses and eventually find a financial life preserver before an “abandon ship” is called. Recently the U.S. Senate passed legislation to assist in plugging some of the leaks, ordering that a fiscallysound plan be constructed to save the challenged USPS. The House of Representatives has yet to act on the legislative charge. Wheeling and dealing In the meantime, it appears our postal service is wheeling and dealing in an attempt to turn growing losses into hoped-for “profitability.” The Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) has been asked to review a Negotiated Service Agreement between the USPS and Valassis Direct Mail Inc. But could this quickfix deal really be the way to right the USPS ship and send it sailing into calmer waters? We think not. We predict a tidal wave of problems will result in this exclusive deal with one of the major players in advertising inserts; advertising circulars that readers regularly find in newspapers throughout the week and on weekends. With a nod of approval, this special deal would grant Valassis mail discounts ranging from 22 to 36 percent for any “new” pieces of advertising mail. Currently, the newspaper industry acts as the primary distributor of this advertising, while that same newspaper industry utilizes USPS to deliver its daily and weekly newspaper products as well as its total market coverage shoppers’ news products. Special deal In short, Valassis is hoping to undercut newspapers and other direct mail advertisers, as delivery media, while working out a “deal” with USPS at a far-reduced rate. We could see an exodus of preprint advertising from the newspapers and other direct mail businesses throughout the nation and a tidal wave of business for one company in the name of Valassis Direct Mail Inc.
Sounds like a sweet deal for the direct mail house, but a little sour for USPS. Reportedly, USPS would be trading current revenue streams initiated via the newspaper industry and flip such streams, at a very special discounted rate, to one “selected” direct mail house. The waters just became choppy. The mail house would show “new” business for USPS, while the postal service would see lost business from its newspaper clients as well as other existing direct mail clients who are not in a select category to receive special treatment. Storm at sea There is no doubt that this proposal is calling for a storm at sea. The USPS, other direct mail advertisers, and the newspaper industry are already challenged. All three “industries” rely on advertising circular revenues. It is very troubling that there is no true evidence that this deal will allow USPS to show true revenue gains, yet the proposal is receiving PRC consideration. Newspapers, including the Ohio Community Media local newspaper which you are now reading, have long been one, if not THE leading postal service customer in many communities. Many of our newspapers, which contain preprints produced by Valassis, and many other agencies, as well as national and local retailers, are currently being delivered by USPS. It is estimated that the U.S. newspaper industry spends in the neighborhood of $500 million annually with our government-controlled postal services. Trading “revenues” and initializing a new highly-discounted rate for one single company could progress to a “ship lost at sea.” Irreparable harm It seems to us that favoring one business over another — or an entire industry, which could do irreparable harm to newspapers nationwide — is NOT the answer to USPS’ navigational concerns. This quick deal will not right the postal service’s ship. The PRC now can approve or reject the proposal. The USPS and Congress should not be tied to deals offering future discounts just as it is being charged to review and reconstruct its mail delivery “vessel.” Let’s declare this “deal” shipwrecked and pull the proposal off the decision-making table.

possessions and situations attached to our lives, like Dad, the most prized are usually tied to a true friend in one way or another. With Father’s Day this Sunday, I decided to write down a few words about one of the best friends I’ve ever had the privilege to know. For as long as I can remember he has not only met, but greatly exceeded the criteria necessary for friendship as noted in the above definition. His love for me is unconditional; he forgives my obvious shortcomings and desires my company even when the chips are down. He always greets me with a smile. Since childhood, I’ve learned a great deal from him about things like truth, trust, patience, honesty and more good qualities than you can shake a stick at. He taught me how to shoot, sharpen knives, climb trees and whistle. He helped me to see the joy in a hard day’s work, and understand the positive and negative aspects of sowing and reaping and doing what was right. He showed me how to recognize the real treasures in life and offered friendly advice on how to avoid regret and heartache. He taught me the importance of looking at a man’s eyes in conversation and the reason we have two ears and one mouth. I owe him much! However, there were some things he failed to teach me. He never taught me to lie, complain, cheat or waste time worrying about things I couldn’t

He knew little about frowning and looking on the dark side of life, for this I am truly thankful. All in all, I don’t know if I could ask for a better friend than my dad — Kenney Clayton. Sadly it took me the better part of a lifetime to realize just how precious a friend he is and to understand just how valuable our friendship is. There aren’t many left like him and the way this old world is headed his kind will soon vanish from the face of the earth. Unfortunately we often overlook just how precious a friendship is until it is lost. Regrettably, friendships cannot be rekindled or nurtured when standing at the side of a casket or while cloaked in anger and self pity. Many have been there, and it’s a bitter pill to swallow. If you are fortunate enough to have a father who loves you, perhaps it’s time to acknowledge his friendship and give him the most essential gift you could possible give: your time. It won’t cost much and you don’t have to gift wrap it or worry about finding a receipt to take it back for a refund. Lastly, don’t forget to give your dad a big hug, look him in the eyes and tell him, “I love you Dad, happy Father’s Day.” That’s what friends do! The writer lives at 17987 Herring Road.
TO THE EDITOR
Invitation to charity golf tourney To the editor: My letter today serves to invite all readers to participate in the Sidney-Shelby County YMCA’s 28th Annual Golf for Kids Tournament. The popular event is sponsored by Rob Fridley’s Pro Shop. Tuesday, June 19, is the date and we will tee off at 7:45 a.m. at Shelby Oaks Golf Course. The charity event is the “granddaddy” of these type of events here in Shelby County. Players enjoy this event because of the unique 27-hole format. Players enter as a two-person team and play as follows: ninehole best ball, nine-hole Calcutta and a ninehole, two-person scramble. The event is part of the YMCA’s Annual Fund Raising effort that supports Memberships and Program Fees for nearly 2,000 individuals who might not other-
wise be able to afford to participate. For many, the YMCA is a “life changing” experience. Cash prizes are offered for the Ryder Cup event and the tournament features Par three prizes and long drive prizes for men and women. A fun feature included in the event is a putting contest, with a top prize to the best putter of $100. YMCA board members, LuAnn Hockaday and Bob Labbett are serving as co-chairs of this year’s event. For more information about entering the event or providing sponsorship, contact Pam Fultz at 492-9134 or by email at pfultz@sidney-ymca.org. Hope to see you at Shelby Oaks on Tuesday, June 19.

Pet Parlor preens the pickiest pooches BY TERRY PELLMAN MAPLEWOOD — Linda’s Pet Parlor is open for business. Linda Imke opened her pet grooming business around the first of May at her residence at 10811 Tawawa-Maplewood Road. Imke has 30 years of experience in the pet grooming business, 18 of those in Sidney shops. She began the work in the Columbus area and then worked in the two Sidney pet salons. When the Wags grooming shop closed, she decided it was time to establish her own business. Sharon Bergman, also an experienced groomer with whom she has worked for some time, assists her. Imke emphasized that Bergman is very good with the dogs. The pair already had a clientele that they now serve at the home shop. Many others have come from the nearby communities, as some customers enjoy not having to take their pets into town. The profession was a natural choice for Imke. As a child, she loved animals and would practice grooming the family dog, a longhaired dachshund, all the while encouraged by compliments from her mother. In fact, she was surrounded by living things, as her family owned a business that supplied tropical fish to aquarium shops. Visits to such vendors increased her exposure to other pets. In her youth, Imke also had a Shetland sheep dog that she

Observing her love of animals, her father encouraged her to consider pet grooming as a career. She eventually served an apprenticeship under an experienced groomer, and she was on her way. Grooming dogs includes bathing, fur trimming, brushing, and nail clipping and painting. Each breed of dog has fur with its own characteristics. For example, Imke explained that a collie or Shetland sheep dog will have an undercoat that can be thinned. A blow drier will be used, causing what looks like “a snowstorm” in the room. Terriers will have fur that tends to be wiry, while poodles do not shed, so they need to
Pet Parlor, prepares Katie for her owner, Betsy have their fur trimmed to avoid looking like a sheep dog. Dogs require a shampoo that has a soothing aloe in it. Imke explained that shampoo intended for humans is not good for dogs due to its chemical composition. Some dogs need treatment for resistance to pests. Like children, some dogs resist being bathed, while others cooperate with enthusiasm. One Yorkshire terrier she grooms has a comical habit of snapping its teeth at the water running into the tub. She noted that fur trimming can be quite technical. For example, Schnauzers have eyebrows to be cared for, others have bangs, but much of the work is based upon the preferences of the owner. Some dogs are not good at sitting still. Imke said, “You have to know how to work around the
HOROSCOPE
BY FRANCIS DRAKE What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Saturday, June 16, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is an excellent day for business and commerce. You have a lot of mental and physical energy to think about earnings, cash flow and expenditures. (Plus, you want to boost your earnings.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Moon is in your sign today lined up with fiery Mars. This gives you a lot of aggressive focus. You will be a force to contend with! GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You can expect to be involved in secret dealings today, especially with your own activities. For some reason, you’re doing something that’s a bit secretive today. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) All group activities will be upbeat and energetic today. It looks like you feel competitive with someone, which is why you will likely win or come out ahead. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Bosses, parents and VIPs will notice you briefly today. It appears that some aspect of your private life is suddenly a bit public. (Oops.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Look for ways to do different something today. Travel anywhere if you can. You’re hungry for a change of scenery, plus you want some excitement. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You can benefit from the wealth of others today, so keep your eyes (and pockets) open. You won’t hesitate to defend your best interests if sharing something. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Conversations with partners and close friends will be lively and vigorous today. If debates or arguments arise, you will stand your ground. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You’ve got lots of energy to work on the job today. Some of you will use the same energy to workout in gyms or do something to improve your health. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Sports, playful activities with children, vacations and social events have your attention today. You got lots of energy to party! Plan to do something that’s fun and active.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You want to do something to improve where you live today, and you have the energy to do this. You might rearrange furniture or start some kind of home renovation. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Your confidence and enthusiasm will make conversations with others upbeat and successful today. It’s a great day to sell, market, teach, write or act because you’re so convincing and persuasive! YOU BORN TODAY You are intelligent and patient. You wait for the right moment. You choose to invest in tomorrow’s profit rather than today’s gain. Similarly, you choose your friends with care. You are aware of long-term benefits, and because you have self-discipline, you patiently live this way. This year, something you’ve been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish in order to make room for something new.

dog.” Similarly, some do not mind having their nails trimmed, while others need to be muz-
zled to prevent a bite. Some dogs have their nails trimmed with clippers, and some with a rotary tool holding a small grinding bit. The large dogs require special logistics. Imke has a ramp for the dogs to walk up to reach the grooming table or enter the bathtub. Imke has worked with dogs for so long that she is generally able to evaluate a pet’s tendencies when entering the salon. One key is simply how the dog looks at her upon initial contact. The business by and large serves dogs, although Imke does occasionally groom a cat, although only a small portion of the cat population does well with a visit to a salon. They must be able to tolerate
noise and barking dogs. Imke has groomed a couple of rabbits in the past. Imke explained that to be a groomer, one must have a love for animals and feel comfortable with them. Imke enjoys having a shop at her rural home. Customers seem to appreciate the quiet setting and enjoy seeing the ponies at hand at the residence. Imke has noticed that even the dogs seem calmed by looking out the shop window. She quickly found the salon to be quite busy, but she likes that she can work at her own pace, and ensure that she can set aside enough time for the needs of the customers. Imke and Bergman work by appointments made by calling (937) 497-1554.

June 15, 1912 While the fire department was making a fire run last evening the big St. Bernard dog belonging to Thomas Doherty on South Walnut Avenue, was badly injured. The dog ran into the street to bark at the hose cart, was struck and its leg broken. A veterinary was called, the fracture set and the leg placed in a plaster paris cast. It is thought the dog will recover. Mr. Doherty says that he has refused $1,000 for the dog. ––––– Last evening as W.H. Wyland was driving his automobile on South Ohio Avenue, he attempted to drive between two rigs. There was not sufficient room and the automobile struck one of the wheels of one of the buggies and tore the wheel off. –––––– It was the same old story yesterday in the baseball game between Sidney Brownies and the Dayton Victors.

The Doppler unit is positioned over the posterior tibial artery (behind the bony projection on the inner side of the ankle) or over the dorsalis pedis artery on the top of the foot. You can, however, get a rough idea of the pressure in those arteries if you can feel a strong pulse in both. The hallmark sign of peripheral artery disease is pain in the buttock, thigh or calf when a person walks. He or she can almost predict with great accuracy the exact distance at which the pain arises.

DEAR ABBY: Is it appropriate to visit a house you grew up in years ago and expect to be treated to a tour? Should one expect the current owners to accept you and invite you into the house, which is now theirs? How is this handled? — MOVED ON IN TAMPA DEAR MOVED ON: If one is smart, one does not EXPECT anything from strangers because it suggests a feeling of entitlement. Chances of being allowed inside would be better if the homeowner was given some advance notice, like a short note explaining that you were raised in that home and asking if you could be admitted. That’s how I’d handle it.

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.

Free math refresher course set PIQUA — Edison Community College will be offering a free math refresher workshop this summer at the Piqua Campus to meet the needs of aspiring college students and those looking to improve on their skills. The workshop will be held July 23-26, from 2:30 to 5 p.m., in Room 503, and will cover basic math and beginning and intermediate algebra. Classes will be different every day, and will cover four different levels throughout the workshop. “These short, intensive classes are designed for students who took the COMPASS test and weren’t happy with the results and want another chance at improving their score,” said Terry Calvert, instructor of mathematics at Edison. “This is also a perfect opportunity for people just looking to refresh their math skills. Anyone who hasn’t done a lot of mathematical work in a long time and just needs to see it again to get reacquainted with it will benefit greatly from this workshop.” Those signing up for the free workshop are strongly encouraged to attend all four sessions, as the material being taught will change from day to day. For more information and to register for the classes, contact Terry Calvert at tcalvert@edisonohio.edu.

Industrial Timeline to feature history of local companies New display at Applefest BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg,com Applefest 2012 in Sidney will include a new feature — a re-created Industrial Timeline of Shelby County displayed at the Historic Sidney Theatre and in the storefronts of participating downtown merchants. Exhibits will be on display Sept. 5-9 during Shelby County Applefest showing festival participants what Shelby County has to offer. Local industries have been invited to design exhibits that present the history of their industry and company, products and location. Electrical hookups will be made available and exhibits will be limited only in size due to space constraints. As Applefest participants learn more about the various industries’ contributions to Sidney and Shelby County, children may be prompted to collect clues and a prize from a treasure chest. “The project is another way Applefest speaks to the community,” Robin Banas, Industrial Timeline committee chairman, said. “This is a work in progress and the first year is always a learning process, but we hope it will be successful and for future timeline events to grow and be even more successful. “So many of our industries and businesses operate in our community without residents and visitors understanding the product(s) or service they provide,” she explained. Businesses and industries committed to participate in this year’s timeline include: Historic Sidney Theatre, Shelby County Historical Society, Sidney/Shelby County YMCA, Canal Place Apartments, Honda Manufacturing, Sidney/Shelby County Senior Citizens Center, Witwer Chiropractic, Shelby County Right to Life, Wilson Memorial Hospital, Shelby County Board of Developmental Disabilities, Dorothy Love Re-

Cargill gives $32,000 to food pantries Cargill Sidney has announced that it has donated $32,000 in the past year to local food pantries and soup kitchens. With its purpose of being the global leader is nourishing people, Cargill Sidney used local and corporate funds to donate to Agape Food Pantry, Holy Angels Soup Kitchen, St. James Food Pantry and First Place Food Pantry. The contributions are being used directly to purchase food and nutritional products to benefit those in need. In addition to the monetary donations, employees have volunteered for numerous projects at the facilities over the years. Agape Distribution in Sidney was the beneficiary of $10,000 to provide funding for their Grocery Assurance program, specifically targeting senior citizens. Seniors are especially susceptible to downturns in the economy and rising costs due to their often fixed income, Cargill officials said. The pantry will provide healthy food choices that will allow for seven days worth of food. Since beginning its emergency food program in 1998, Agape has seen a surge in the number of families seeking assistance. Cargill Sidney has awarded Holy Angels Soup Kitchen with $8,000 to assist in its meal program. Holy Angels provides hot meals to approximately 80 people three times per week. Its mission is to provide hot and nutritional meals to anyone in the Shelby County community who is in need. Founded in 1999, in 2011 the soup kitchen served more than 13,000 meals to Shelby County residents. St. James Food Pantry in Piqua has been awarded with $7,000 to help fund the purchase of food in the pantry. St. James is staffed solely by volunteers and has seen an annual usage increase of approximately 15 percent the last several years. The pantry provides individuals and families the opportunity to choose their own food options from the shelves and staff keeps detailed records to ensure the least possible waste. A donation of $7,000 will go toward the purchase of food and supplies at the First Place Food Pantry in Troy. With need at an all-time high, the facility offers those in need the opportunity choose a wide variety of nutritious options. In addition, the Miami County Extension office provides monthly cooking demonstrations using in stock food groups to encourage healthy recipes for feeding their families.

Get out the brooms Reds sweep Indians, win 12-5 BY JOE KAY Associated Press CINCINNATI (AP) — This Cleveland-versus-Cincinnati series will be remembered for an inside fastball and a wagging finger. Don’t overlook that sweep, though. Brandon Phillips hit one of Cincinnati’s three homers and drove in four more runs on Thursday afternoon, leading the ailing Reds to a 12-5 victory and their first three-game sweep of the Indians since 2008. Joey Votto and Ryan Ludwick also homered for the Reds, who had a season-high 17 hits. “What a series!” Ludwick said. “What a win!” No surprise that Phillips played a starring role for the NL Central leaders. He went 8 for 13 with two homers and seven RBIs against the team that gave up on him in 2006, raising his career average against Cleveland to .356. He also paid a price for a dust-up between Indians starter Derek Lowe and Reds manager Dusty Baker, getting hit in the arm by a pitch during a 5-3 win on Wednesday night. Phillips wasn’t aware of why Lowe hit him. “To be honest, I don’t even know what he said,” Phillips said. “We won. We’re in first place, that’s all I care about. We’re too busy winning.” Mike Leake went 4 1-3 innings before having to leave the game, still feeling the effects of a nasty stomach virus that swept through the clubhouse at the start of the series. Jose Arredondo (4-1) pitched out of a threat in the fifth. Votto hit a three-run homer in the first inning off Josh Tomlin (3-4), who had been 40 in five career interleague starts. Cleveland’s Michael Brantley extended his hitting streak to 21 games, longest in

In addition, he also was nominated for several others. ning of a baseball game, Thursday in Cincinnati. the majors this season. Other than that, there wasn’t much good for the Indians during the visit to the Ohio River city. “Not the way you wanted to finish a road trip,” manager Manny Acta said. “You’ve got to give them credit. They beat us on both sides of the ball. Their starters pretty much held our offense down, and they out-hit us, too.” Phillips was upset at his treatment in Cleveland before he was traded to Cincinnati. He has mellowed over the years, but got a lot of enjoyment out of beating his former team. “Deep down, it feels good to beat up on the Tribe,” Phillips said. “But they’re moving in the right direction. Manny Acta’s a good coach — I mean manager — and the majority of the guys who are there are new. So, go Tribe.” There’s plenty of intrigue for the rematch by Lake Erie next week. Lowe holds a personal grudge against Baker for something that happened between them several years ago — he won’t say what exactly. When Mat Latos threw an inside fast-
ball to Lowe during the second game of the series, he gestured toward Baker, who waved his finger back. Lowe plunked Phillips on the arm in the bottom of the inning, drawing a warning from the umpires. There were no further on-field problems. Lowe accused Baker of ordering the pitch because of their personal issues. A day later, Baker said it wasn’t personal but a payback for Lowe hitting Votto in the back during a 2009 game. Their exchange provided an edge to the series, which resumes Monday in Cleveland with Lowe on the mound. Because it’ll be in an AL park, Lowe won’t have to bat. The Reds won the first two games of the series even though more than a half-dozen players were sick. Leake had to be pushed back a day to give him more time to recover. He left after giving up seven hits, including two solo homers by Shin-Soo Choo, in 4 1-3 innings. An exhausted Leake sat on the bench and buried his face in a towel. Baker came over and put his hands on Leake’s shoulders, showing his appreciation for the pitcher’s effort.
Lehman grad wins 2 Emmys BY WILL E SANDERS Ohio Community Media wsanders@dailycall.com CLEVELAND — It’s not hard for former Piquad Eric Hewitt to imagine winning an Emmy award for his work as a producer and editor with the Cleveland Indians baseball team, but it’s much easier for him to imagine winning two. Why? Because Hewitt recently took home two such awards in addition to being nominated in four other categories. A 1999 Lehman Catholic High School graduate, Hewitt said when he heard he was nominated for six Emmys in a variety of categories he was happy, but once he learned he was awarded two Emmys out of those categories, he was elated. When the announcement was made Hewitt was attending the bachelor party being hosted for his brother and his other brother and father were there, too. “I was surprised,” he said. “I didn’t expect it. I was shocked to find out. … It’s just nice to be recognized.” The Emmys were awarded to Hewitt by the Lower Great Lakes Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences during the 43rd Annual Emmy Awards. Hewitt received his two Emmys for his writing and editing work on a commercial he helped produce titled, “The Ball.” His other four nominations were for similar work in
regard to writing and editing. Hewitt, who attended Bowling Green State University and majored in film studies, said he first came to Cleveland “randomly” and quickly got a job with the Indians where he helped operate the ball park’s scoreboard, in addition to creating graphics and content for the Major League Baseball team. From there, he said, he was promoted to producer and editor. He now has a variety of responsibilities that include producing commercials, graphics, video and content for the Indians. “I have always loved sports and played baseball,” said Hewitt, who added he is an avid Indians fan. “My whole goal in life was to be creative and somehow I lucked out with being creative in an environment that I love.” He said that working with the Cleveland Indians has allowed him insight into not only what goes on out on the field, but also what takes place behind the scenes. Hewitt said he loves his job and plans to continue to work with the Cleveland Indians into the future. “Right now I am going to keep doing what I am doing,” said Hewitt, who also operates the LED scoreboard at nearby Quicken Loans Arena where the Cleveland Cavaliers play. “I love it.” Hewitt, and his wife, Candi, live in the Cleveland area and have two children, Maggie, 2, and Will, a newborn baby.

said, referring to the drug agency. “We are entitled to certain things, certain pieces of evidence, if not all the evidence in terms of what will be in front of the review board,” he said. The AP obtained a copy of the letter Armstrong’s attorney, Robert Luskin, sent to USADA. “(We) cannot protect Mr. Armstrong’s rights without knowing who is saying what and what events that allegedly occurred over the course of a decade and a half,” Luskin wrote. “Even at this preliminary stage, your reliance on secret witnesses making deliberately vague charges is unconscionable.” The letter noted that USADA and other drug agencies “have long demonstrated their zeal to crucify Mr. Armstrong. … We have learned the hard way not to underestimate USADA’s obsession with Mr. Armstrong.”

LOL: NCAA deregulates texts, calls to recruits
Summer weather welcomes Lehman alumni for tournament More than 100 people were on hand Saturday morning at the Flanagan Softball Complex for fourth annual the Lehman Alumni Classic. The softball tournament was attended by alumni competitors and spectators alike. The event got under way around 9 a.m. and lasted until 3 p.m. Comprised of six teams, the double-elimination format gave each team the opportunity to play multiple games. With alumni players’ graduation years ranging from 1969 to 2012, event chairperson Kelty (Bosslet) Inman (’02) was pleased with the turnout. “The weather has not cooperated the last few years, but we have had a lot of enthusiasm that has persisted since our inaugural tournament in 2009,” said Inman. “Very pleased with the turnout as well as the weather. It is nice to have such a wide range of graduating alumni and their families all in one place.” By the time the dust had settled, the traveling trophy was hoisted
by the defending Alumni Classic champs, a team led by Luke Voisard (’90). Voisard and his teammates went undefeated on the day. His lineup card included Luke Clark (’90), Sean Moorman (’90), Mark Bales (’98), Rob Carmen (’89) and spouse Amy Carmen, Jim Edwards (’86), Diana Borland, Maggie Leisner, Mike Ciriegio (’86), Mitch Ciriegio (’86) and Tim Ungericht. Voisard’s lineup was enough to best that of Emily (Hodges) Ellis (’03) and her team of sluggers. The tournament is held every year with its only mission being to bring Lehman High School alumni (graduates of Holy Angels High School, Piqua Catholic High School, St, Boniface High School, and St. Mary High School) together for some fun and sportsmanship. Information about this and other Lehman Alumni events can be found at www.lehmancatholic.com or by contacting Alumni Board President Zack Bosslet (’98) at (937) 538-8242.
Athletes to receive OHSAA scholarships COLUMBUS — A total of $66,000 in college scholarships will be handed out to 54 students during the 20th Annual OHSAA Scholar-Athlete Scholarship Banquet tonight in Columbus. The evening will begin at 6 p.m. at the DoubleTree Hotel at the Crosswoods/Worthington. Two local athletes will be receiving scholarships. Samantha Hoelscher, of Minster High School, graduated with a 3.51 GPA. She earned 10 varsity letters in cross country, track and field and basketball. She will attend the University of Cincinnati and study marketing. Kylie Drees, of Fort Loramie High School, had a 3.8 GPA and earned 10 varsity letters in cross country, track and field and basketball. Drees will attend the Ohio State University and study business. The scholarship winners were selected by each of the six OHSAA district athletic boards. Of the 54 honorees, 42 will receive $1,000 awards, including six (one from each district) that will be given an OHSAA Minority Scholarship presented by Farmers Insurance. Twelve students (two from each district) will receive $2,000 awards made possible by the OHSAA Foundation and Taco Bell. Nike and Molten have also contributed to the OHSAA scholarship program, as well as schools that participate in an OHSAA Foundation bas-
ketball game, which includes a fee given to the Foundation to fund their portion of the scholarships. “We have had many highlights and displays of sportsmanship this past school year and the scholar-athlete banquet is always one of those special moments, too,” said OHSAA Commissioner Dr. Dan Ross. “I look forward to this banquet just as much as the state tournaments because it’s an opportunity to see so many students honored for their extraordinary work academically. They truly represent what it is all about and their families and schools are to be commended for helping them achieve great things already. I would also like to personally thank the OHSAA Foundation and our corporate partners for their generous support in helping make these scholarships possible.” Scholar-athlete recipients are selected based on a point system which rewards students for grade point averages; ACT or SAT scores; varsity letters earned; individual and team athletic honors; and an essay. There are seven, 10 or 13 recipients from each district, depending upon the number of schools within the district. The recipients were selected by special committees within each of the six OHSAA athletic districts. Recipients of athletic scholarships from NCAA Division I or II institutions are not eligible for the award.
their way around social media and then some. What was even more worrisome was that while coaches had their thumbs tied behind their backs, third parties were using new technology to get to recruits more easily than ever. “Now instead of going around people to get to the kid or the parents, you can call them directly. I think that’s a very valid point as to why they made the rule change,” first-year Illinois coach John Groce said. But just because a coach can call and text a kid at will doesn’t mean he should. Knowing when to contact a recruit and when to back off could be the tricky side of this new policy. Creighton coach Greg McDermott has a unique
perspective on the matter, having seen recruiting from the side of a coach at Northern Iowa, Iowa State and Creighton and as the father of current Jays star Doug McDermott. Greg McDermott said that the main objective for his staff is to get to know each recruit and their family inside and out. Some will undoubtedly get a kick out of all the extra attention, while others will be turned off by it. “I think I’m probably still on the fence,” McDermott said of the new rules. “It can be a disruptive process if you allow it to become that. So I think it’s going to become really important for our staff to make sure we do our due diligence in researching each individual and each family.”
Thompson leads Open SCOREBOARD FRANCISCO SAN (AP) — Any comfort Michael Thompson took looking up at the leaderboard at The Olympic Club and finally seeing his name at the top fizzled fast when he saw the player one spot below. Tiger Woods. Thompson shot a 4under 66 in the first round of the U.S. Open on Thursday, taking a threeshot lead in the clubover the house hard-charging Woods and David Toms. The 2007 U.S. Amateur runner-up at Club sure Olympic played as though he knew the course, finishing with seven birdies to go with three bogeys in an aggressive and fearless round. The 27-yearold former Alabama standout still couldn’t feel satisfied with 48 holes remaining and a familiar face lurking behind in another major.
“Give Tiger the spotlight,” Thompson said. “I don’t care. I’m going to go out and play my game. If I go out and putt the way I did today, I’ll be in contention.” What a way for this championship to begin. Woods birdied consecutive holes late in his round and played the undulating Lake Course with the kind of confidence that has made him a 14-time major champion. He bogeyed his second-to-last hole and finished with a 1-under 69 to blow away playing partners Phil Mickelson (76) and Bubba Watson (78). That’s a stirring start for one of the world’s most watched — and scrutinized — athletes of any generation considering who he played at the last major. Woods never broke par in four rotten rounds at the Masters in April.
Quarterback challenge planned for Country Fest MARIA STEIN — The Maria Stein Country Fest will host its inaugural quarterback challenge at this year’s festival, which will be held June 22-24 on the grounds of the Shrine of the Holy Relics in Maria Stein.
