‘Every dollar’ County to file lawsuit to get Kimpel salary back

BY KATHY LEESE Shelby County officials have announced they plan to pursue a lawsuit against former Shelby County Sheriff Dean Kimpel in an effort to recoup “every dollar” they can from the former official.

Kimpel was sentenced to

probation earlier this month for allegedly accessing a law enforcement computer program for his personal use.

Shelby County Prosecutor Bauer confirmed Ralph Thursday that his office plans to pursue the legal action against Kimpel. “The county will take every legal step

that time, Kimpel was paid $55,793.86, including salary, retirement and insurance.

Bauer plans to meet soon with the Shelby County Commissioners in executive session. “We’re going to ask for everything we’re entitled to,” Bauer said.

See LAWSUIT/Page 2

Shelby County Commissioners held a second public hearing Thursday morning to receive comment on a proposal to divide the county’s 0.5 percent sales tax between capital improvements and county infrastructure, roads and bridges. The current tax levy expires March 31, 2013.

No rank and file Shelby County taxpayers attended the hearing, which prompted several current officeholders to lament the fact more public participation is needed in county affairs.

Commissioners, Shelby County Engineer Bob Geuy and Sheriff John Lenhart explained the proposal that would create a $5 million capital improvement plan to replace outdated and failing HVAC and electrical systems in the courthouse, annex and jail and also replace the build-

ing that houses communications equipment for fire, rescue and service calls.

The next step in the process, Commissioner Julie Ehemann explained, will be passage of two resolutions by the board of commissioners, one enacting the restructured tax plan and the other establishing line items in county appropriations for projects.

She said no date has yet been set for the legislative action.

Thursday’s meeting was attended by Auditor Denny York, Treasurer Linda Meininger, Lenhart, Geuy, Bob Guillozet of Clinton Township and Chris Gibbs and Jim Yost of Maplewood.

Commissioners explained the county building program, written in 2008, has been on hold ever since due to unfavorable economic conditions.

The plan proposes to use the county’s Ohio Revise Code authority to enact the sales tax See HEARING/Page 3

Periodic changes of appointment are part of the structure of the Salvation Army, with those in charge of local community centers often transitioning every four to five years, according to a release from the organization.

A trip to remember Caroline and Dave “D.W.” Counts, of Botkins, look at a memory book from the May trip of Korean War and World War II veterans to Washington, D.C. The books, along with a DVD of the trip, were given to each veteran Monday night during a dinner at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post. The Shelby County Veterans to D.C. committee are already working on plans for September’s trip to D.C. This trip will be the first time Vietnam War veterans will be going on the trip.

LAWSUIT According to the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) Section 3.16, under which Special Prosecutor Gary Nasal requested Kimpel be suspended, county officials have the right to “file a civil action in the appropriate court to recover from any former public official….the amount of compensation paid to that former public official….from the date of the former public official’s suspension to the date the former public official pleads guilty to or is found guilty of any felony with which the former public official was charged.”

Use of the statute to suspend Kimpel marked the first time it had been used for such a purpose.

From Page 1

In addition to probation, Kimpel was ordered to pay any restitution, costs of prosecution, court appointed counsel fees and any other fees permitted under the Ohio Revised Code. He must also pay court costs, a fine of $1,000 and $25 per month supervision fees.

Shelby County Clerk of Courts Michele Mumford said Kimpel initially owed $1,564.24 in court costs and fines of which he has paid $554.44. She did know the costs of prosecution or legal counsel.

Shelby County Commissioner Jack Toomey discussed the possibility of the lawsuit Thursday afternoon and trying to recoup the money. “It’s important to the people of

Shelby County. It’s our responsibility to try to recoup as much as we can of our expenses and as much of his salary as we can from that period of time. At this point it’s up to Mr. Bauer to advise us on what direction we should go for that.”

Toomey said he doesn’t know at this time how much the Kimpel case has cost the county overall.

Stating he was “disappointed” with the outcome of Kimpel’s sentencing, Toomey said the commissioners will do their best to recoup the money, but with the outcome of the sentencing, “after this disappointment, I’m not counting on anything.”

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Detectives who questioned George Zimmerman in the days after he fatally shot Trayvon Martin grilled him on his story and said some of his statements were inconsistent, according to video and audio police tapes released Thursday.

The skepticism is at odds with a public perception that the police department didn’t fully investigate the neighborhood watch leader in the aftermath of the shooting. Zimmerman was arrested more than a month after the shooting, and only after the local police department said they were not going to charge him.

The Shelby County Emergency Management Agency will hold a special meeting on Tuesday at 7 a.m. at the EMA building.

The purpose of the meeting is for the group to review the equipment lists and vote on the disbursement of equipment that belonged to the former Shelby County Fire Department.

In May, the EMA had fire departments turn in a needs list for equipment and did an internal inventory of available equipment. The EMA did not release a list of the available equipment because they wanted to see what the individual departments needed rather than what they may have wanted.

Fair Board applauds Eagle Scout The Shelby County Society Agricultural (Fair Board) applauded the work of an Eagle Scout who made picnic tables for the Shelby County Fairgrounds and discussed plans for the upcoming fair at their meeting Wednesday night.

Alex Adams, a local resident, made 24 picnic tables as part of his Eagle Scout project and donated them to be used at the fairgrounds. Each of the tables will have a plaque attached to it that details who paid for materials for that table.

Fair board members applauded Alex's work on the tables during their meeting.

Shelby County Fair Board President Tim Everett told board members that the new Shelby County Fair website is running and will feature schedules, events, a listing of entertainment for the fair and will include forms that can be downloaded for those showing livestock or wanting to enter other items in the fair. The new web page can be accessed at shelbycountyfair.com.

Jake Yinger of Jackson Township in the Jackson Center area was appointed to the fair board during their meeting as an at-large member to fill a Van Buren Township seat. He will serve in that position

until 2014. While there are already two board members from that area, a clause in the fair board's constitution allows the Senior Fair Board to appoint an atlarge member. The percan only be son appointed by the Fair Board Director and is not voted on by members of the Fair Board.

Work days were announced for all Senior Fair Board members for the upcoming fair. The dates include July 9 and 10 and from July 14 until the date the fair begins.

The 2012 Shelby County Fair season passes are now available at the Fair Board office located at the Shelby County Fairgrounds.

The season passes will cost $25 and are available during the month of June on Thursday evenings from 5 to 9 p.m. and beginning July 5, they are available every day in July until the fair begins from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Everett told board members that a roof leak on a restroom and shingles on the Community Foundation building have been repaired.

It was noted that the Junior Fair Board raised $600 for Junior Fair activities by holding a metal drive for two weekends.

The next board meeting will be July 18.

HEARING through resolutions setting monies aside in specific line items for necessary capital improvements.

The current 0.5percent sales tax has been in place 23 years and approved by county voters four times. Commissioners stressed the proposal will not increase taxes for residents; only re-allocate current funds to where they are most needed.

“We are at a crossroads, where revenues no longer provide the necessary county services while maintaining our infrastructure,” Ehemann said. “It has been a difficult decision, but this is necessary.”

Geuy assured listeners the county’s infrastructure program will continue to go forward with half of its current tax receipts. “In 1998, we started rebuilding current infrastructure with almost $32 million from the levy,” he said.

We currently have only one bridge with a load limit and feel we can continue to go forward with (our share) of this proposal.

Lenhart again outlined his department’s needs for an improved dispatch center, jail upgrades, new vehicles and animal shelter building and vehicle needs.

“It’s absolutely necessary It needs to be done,” York told commissioners and he compli-

mented the board for managing available funds in the face of drasticallyreduced funding from the state of Ohio and other revenue sources.

Gibbs asked Geuy if roads and bridges can be properly maintained with the reduced levy funding and Yost asked if commissioners are paying back permanent improvement fund monies that have been used to meet shortfalls in other county funds.

“The general fund does not pay back,” Commissioner Jack Toomey replied. Yost also said he would like to see more public participation in county issues.

Guillozet, a Clinton Township trustee, said he supports the new tax plan and agreed the public needs to become more involved in county affairs. “The present economic issue has been coming for a long time,” he said, “and I thank commissioners for their foresight.”

Meininger also said she supports the new tax levy plan and said “We’re very fortunate to have remained debt free, but we need to maintain our buildings.”

Commissioners also allowed county bills totaling $489,731.74 Thursday and agreed to transfer $2,000 from public assistance funds to supplies for Shelby County Jobs and Family Services.

Minster Board of Education MINSTER — The Minster Board of Education will meet on Monday at 8 p.m. The board will hear an update on the Athletic Booster’s preservation and enhancement of Memorial Field and an update on the energy audit. The board will also adopt athletic ticket prices for 2012-13. At the end of the meeting, the board is expected to enter into executive session to discuss the employment and compensation of a public employee.

VP spotlight on Portman Who is Rob Portman?

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney gestures during a campaign stop at K’s Hamburger Shop on Sunday in Troy as Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, (left) and Speaker of the House Rep. John Boehner watch.

Pennsylvania on behalf of Romney but has shunned appearances on the Sunday talk shows.

Portman put in hundreds of hours last year on what he recently called “the not-so-super committee” tasked with cutting deficits. The panel failed, but through it Portman cemented relationships with top Democrats like Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts and Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland.

Recently more pedestrian fare has been on his plate: bills to combat invasive Asian carp in the Great Lakes and to create a commemorative coin to support the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

“That’s my job,” said Portman. “I’m going to keep doing it. I’m not trying to make waves nationally.”

Romney has said little about the vice presidential vetting taking place in his campaign, and Portman — like others who’ve been mentioned as potentials — professes that he doesn’t expect to get asked and is happy where he is.

He took note, however, when both Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod and former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, an Obama campaign co-chairman, talked recently about how Portman’s ties to George W. Bush’s administration could be used against him.

“Interesting; I guess they’re worried,” Portman told reporters.

CARTERS Carters. The Sidney appointment will be the eighth for the Paynes.

“We were stationed in Bucyrus, Columbus and Marietta, but we’ve never been to Sidney,” said Sharon Payne by telephone. The couple is originally from Akron and their children live there.

“We’ll be much closer to our families. We have two sons, one daughter and a granddaughter,” Payne said.

They look forward to establishing the emergency shelter that has been in planning stages for some time.

“I understand we’re going to be opening up a transitional unit,” Payne said. That unit is what Herb is most proud of when he looks at his work here during the last six years. He began the process of its establishment three or four years ago.

“We just got the contract signed with Freytag and Associates. I can go knowing its actually going to happen,” he said.

For her part, Angie feels her largest contribution has been to the Kids Corps, an afterschool program.

“When we came, there were four kids,” she said. “We’ve got the enrollment up to about 40 and went from three days a week to five days a week. Those kids have stolen my heart.”

The Carters have visited Findlay once or twice because one of their children went to college in Bowling Green, not far away.

“They have good strong programs there (at the Salvation Army),” Herb said. “So finances aren’t as challenging there as here.

But I’m going with an open mind, to see the best way I can make a contribution.”

The Paynes will be leaving a much larger city to take up their posts in Sidney, but they’re eagerly moving back to their home state.

“We’re very excited to get the shelter up and running. (In Concord),

“He’s a very conservative guy with good manners,” Strickland said of Portman. “That causes some people to think he’s more moderate than he is.”

Portman recently made a six-day trip to Israel — he met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — Jordan, Afghanistan and the United Arab Emirates.

Asked while headed home if the trip’s purpose was to burnish his foreign policy credentials, Portman said it had been planned for some time but was kept quiet for security reasons. He also noted he is on the Senate Armed Services Committee and its subcommittee on emerging global threats.

“This was part of my responsibilities as senator,” he told reporters on a conference call.

Portman was an early Romney backer, endorsing him nearly two months before Ohio’s March 6 primary, then crisscrossing the state on his behalf. Romney edged Rick Santorum in the pivotal showdown.

Ohio, with 18 electoral votes, will be a key state again in November.

No Republican has ever been elected without winning Ohio. Recent polls suggest Romney and President Barack Obama are deadlocked in the state.

Other than giving Romney a boost in Ohio, Portman’s potential help to the ticket nationally is questionable.

BRIEFS

‘Personhood’ faces hurdle COLUMBUS (AP) — An anti-abortion group in Ohio is facing a significant shortfall in the number of signatures needed to ask voters in the presidential battleground this fall whether the state constitution should declare that life begins when a human egg is fertilized, throwing up another obstacle for the “personhood” movement.

With less than two weeks before a crucial July deadline, the group’s director says it has close to 20,000, or 5 percent, of the roughly 385,000 signatures required for the proposed personhood constitutional amendment to appear on November ballots.

Stacks of signatures have yet to be counted, and more arrive each day.

Still, Patrick Johnston, the director of Personhood Ohio, acknowledges that the group might not get enough signatures in time to make the ballot for this year’s presidential election.

“I don’t know what I’m going to get the last week of this month, but it needs to be a ton to get it by July 4,” Johnston said in an interview this week with The Associated Press.

Cross burner gets 30 days COLUMBUS (AP) — An Ohio man who pleaded guilty in the case of a cross burned in the yard of a black family has been sentenced to 30 days in jail.

A federal complaint alleged Brandon Rhodes and a juvenile co-conspirator burned the cross in the yard of a schoolmate in Morrow County in March 2011. The suspects are white.

The 21-year-old Rhodes apologized to the William Wells family ahead of his sentencing Thursday by U.S. District Court Judge Gregory Frost. Two of Rhodes’ aunts said the incident, on a night when he’d drunk about 10 beers, did not reflect their nephew’s true character.

Agent involved in shooting COLUMBUS (AP) — Columbus police say a U.S. Secret Service agent was involved in a shooting near the agency’s offices not far from downtown.

Police Sgt. Rich Weiner says the agent was not hurt and police are looking for a possible suspect and are unsure if that person was injured.

Weiner says the shooting happened late Thursday afternoon around the corner from the Secret Service offices on the south side of the downtown area.

Weiner says it’s possible the agent might have stumbled on something happening when the shooting occurred.

The incident did not involve any of the agency’s protective service duties.

Drugs hid in gummy bears MENTOR, Ohio (AP) — Police near Cleveland say they think three New York men arrested during a traffic stop were making hallucinogenic gummy bears.

Officers found a gummy bear mold along with ecstasy, bath salts, LSD, and prescription anxiety drugs in a car the three were riding in Tuesday.

Police say the three also had drug paraphernalia and items used to make drugs.

The three appeared in Mentor Municipal Court on Wednesday on several drug and traffic charges.

One of the suspects is from New York City, another is from Long Island and the third lives in the village of Chester about 60 miles north of New York City.

WEST UNION (AP) — You can almost imagine Mitt Romney checking the boxes in pondering whether Ohio Sen. Rob Portman might be a good running mate.

Experienced, steady Washington hand?

Check. Represents key swing state? Check. Respected across the Republican Party? Check.

Well-known?

No. Charismatic? Hmm. In a year when being perceived as bland proved not to be a hindrance in capturing the GOP presidential nomination — the cautious Romney team probably prefers reliability over a propensity to “go rogue” a la Sarah Palin — Portman has emerged as someone often talked about in Republican circles as a strong vice presidential choice.

For starters, he has a varied, impressive resume: —Elected seven times to the House.

—Held two Cabinetlevel posts as U.S. trade representative and White House budget director in George W. Bush’s administration.

That also could be a downside; the Bush administration remains unpopular in opinion polls.

—Elected to the Senate two years ago with 59 percent of the vote in a state Romney absolutely has to win in November.

Probably as much as anyone, Portman would meet what presidential nominees always say is the top criterion for a vice president: ability to take over should something happen to the president.

“He knows the personalities. He knows the players. They know him.

They trust him,” said GOP lobbyist Jack Howard, like Portman a veteran of both Bush administrations. “Given the scale and nature of the problems that are going to have to be addressed not only on opening day of a Romney administration but during a transition — in terms of all the issues a lame duck may or may not deal with — Portman’s a guy who you want as your wingman.”

What Portman lacks is a high national profile.

He’s made recent forays into North and South Carolina and

That’s the number one thing,” Payne said.

“We’re looking forward to the blessings God has in store for us.”

For Herb, among Sidney’s blessings are its parks, and he will miss them.

“I like the more rural — the country side of the community,” he said.

“Sidney has the best parks of cities five times its size. It’s a beautiful community. We’ve enjoyed walking in the parks, being out in nature here.”

Both Angie and Herb admitted they’ll miss the many people who have supported the Salvation Army’s work during their tenure.

“I appreciate all the help people gave to accomplish all the things we’ve done in the last six years,” Angie said.

“We’ll remember everybody fondly,” added Herb.

Son ready to testify BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) — Lawyers for one of Jerry Sandusky’s adopted sons said the man has told authorities the former Penn State assistant football coach abused him.

The lawyers issued a statement Thursday naming Matt Sandusky, one of Sandusky’s six Jerry adopted children, and saying that the 33-year-old had been prepared to testify on behalf of prosecutors at his father’s sex abuse trial.

“During the trial, Matt Sandusky contacted us and requested our advice and assistance in arranging a meeting with prosecutors to disclose for the first time in this case that he is a victim of Jerry Sandusky’s abuse,” Andrew Shubin and Justine Andronici wrote in the statement. “At Matt’s request, we immediately arranged a meeting between him and the prosecutors and investigators.

“This has been an extremely painful experience for Matt and he has asked us to convey his request that the media respect his privacy. There will be no further comment.”

Court throws out FCC penalties WASHINGTON (AP) — Broadcasters anticipating a major constitutional ruling on the government’s authority to regulate what can be shown and said on the airwaves instead won only the smallest of Supreme Court victories Thursday.

The justices unanimously threw out fines and other penalties against Fox and ABC television stations that violated the Federal Communications Commission policy regulating curse words and nudity on television airwaves.

Forgoing a broader constitutional ruling, however, the court concluded only that broadcasters could not have

known in advance that obscenities uttered during awards show programs on Fox stations and a brief display of nudity on an episode of ABC’s “NYPD Blue” could give rise to penalties. ABC and 45 affiliates had been hit with proposed fines totaling nearly $1.24 million.

Broadcasters had argued that the revolution in technology that has brought the Internet, satellite television and cable has made the rules themselves obsolete. The regulations apply only to broadcast channels.

The justices said the FCC is free to revise its indecency policy, which is intended to keep the airwaves free of objection-

able material during the hours when children are likely to be watching.

The agency’s chairman, Julius Genachowski, said the ruling “appears to be narrowly limited to procedural issues related to actions taken a number of years ago. Consistent with vital First Amendment principles, the FCC will carry out Congress’s directive to protect young TV viewers.”

It was the second time the court has confronted, but not ruled conclusively on the FCC’s policy on isolated expleJustice Anthony tives.

Kennedy said in his opinion for the court that “it is unnecessary for the court to address

Advantage lost WASHINGTON (AP) — Fighting a swell of economic anxiety, President Barack Obama has lost much of the narrow lead he held just a month ago over Mitt Romney and the two now are locked in a virtually even race for the White House, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll. The survey also found a majority of Americans disapproving of how the Democratic president is handling a national economy that fewer people think is improving.

Less than five months before the election, 47 percent say they will vote for the president and 44 percent for Romney.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Upside down rescue FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) — An Alaska man had to be rescued after he climbed a tree for exercise but got stuck upside down by one leg.

Fairbanks firefighters had to use a ladder truck to reach the 53-year-old man, who was dangling nearly 30 feet off the ground. He was uninjured.

Assistant Fire Chief Ernie Misewicz told The Fairbanks Daily NewsMiner in an email that the man decided to climb the tree because “it was something he wanted to do.”

He said the man had spikes and a belt around his stomach, and that he lost his grip and fell backward. The belt slipped below his waist, flipping him over.

the constitutionality of the current policy.”

The narrow decision, coupled with the more than five months that elapsed between the argument in January and Thursday’s decision, could mean that the justices struggled and failed to reach agreement on a broader outcome.

Broadcasters argue that viewers now have many options, unlike the handful of channels they had available in the 1960s and 1970s when the court last weighed in on indecency on the airwaves. In many cases, viewers don’t even know when they are switching between the older broadcast channels and cable.

90 missing after boat capsizes

Stocks plunge NEW YORK (AP) — Investors yanked money out of stocks Thursday after new reports from the U.S. and China pointed to a sharp slowdown in manufacturing.

The Dow Jones industrial plunged 251 points, the second-biggest drop this year.

Losses in energy and materials companies led a widespread rout on the stock market. The Dow started sinking after 10 a.m., when the Philadelphia branch of the Federal Reserve reported a sharp contraction in manufacturing in the Northeast.

The losses accelerated throughout the day.

THE SMALL town of Brookston, Minn., northwest of Cloquet, feels the heat of the rising St. Louis River Thursday morning. The floodwaters that swamped Duluth are rushing south and causing problems in Carlton and Pine counties.

Duluth cleans up as floods persist to south DULUTH, Minn. (AP) — Nicole Lamphier and her family planned to ride out the flooding inundating their Duluth neighborhood at a friend’s home nearby, but when they ran out of diapers for their 9month-old, they called in the Coast Guard to get them out.

Lamphier, her husband and three young children were evacuated by boat Thursday from their low-lying neighborhood of Fon du Lac, where about 200 residents who left for higher ground during and after two days of historically heavy rain don’t know when it’ll be safe to return home.

“The damage is indescribable,” said Lamphier, 30. “It’s kind of heartbreaking. You see people down there that have lost everything. I’m just glad to be out.”

City, county and state officials spent Thursday assessing damage, while areas farther south continued to

fight rising waters. The town of Moose Lake was being described as “an island.”

Gov. Mark Dayton, who toured flood-ravaged areas on Thursday, said he was committed to providing state resources, and would work to speed the process of getting appropriate federal aid. Duluth’s mayor, Don Ness, estimated that there was $50 million to $80 million in damage caused to the city’s public infrastructure alone.

The Fond du Lac neighborhood still had standing water Thursday, and nearly 80 roads around St. Louis County remained closed at midday.

“It’s just horrific to see the wipeouts of whole roads that I’ve been traveling on for years,” Dayton said.

Despite the extensive damage, no deaths or injuries were reported in Minnesota, which Dayton called “remarkable.”

Three people died in crashes

in central Wisconsin early Thursday after heavy rain washed away a 50-foot stretch of highway.

Lamphier said she saw tipped over cars in her neighborhood, floating sheds, smashed decks and a neighbor’s yard that now looked like a “raging river.”

“Yesterday it was kind of like ‘Oh my God, we are going to lose everything,’” Lamphier said. “Now I’m just thankful my kids are OK.” Mike Smith was one of many Fond du Lac neighbors who went up to the police barricades Thursday to see when he might be able to return home. Police had no answers.

“I’m frustrated,” said Smith, 75. “Of course you don’t know the condition of anything at this point, and that’s not human nature to accept that. … I’m a doer. I’m not a couch potato, so I’m getting antsy.”

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — A search continued Friday for scores of men still missing after a boat carrying about 200 suspected asylum seekers bound for Australia capsized in heavy seas south of Indonesia.

Indonesian and Australian navies as well as civilian ships and aircraft had joined the search for around 90 people still missing after the tragedy Thursday.

All aboard the vessel were male, Home Affairs Minister Jason Clare said Friday.

An Australian navy patrol boat and three cargo ships had rescued 110 survivors — including a 13-year-old boy — by late Thursday and were taking them 200 kilometers (120 miles) south to the Australian territory of Christmas Island, Clare said.

The bodies of another three were also recovered from the water, Australian Maritime Safety Authority spokeswoman Jo Meehan said.

Clare said while seas were rough, people could have survived if they had life jackets or were clinging to debris as most survivors had done.

“There is the prospect that there are people out there still alive,” he told reporters.

He said about 40 survivors had been found clinging to the upturned hull on Thursday afternoon, while others were discovered clinging to debris up to 6 kilometers (4 miles) from the scene.

Clare said the boat had initially called Australian rescue authorities early Wednesday to report being “in distress” 70 kilometers (44 miles) south of the main Indonesian island of Java. Australian authorities advised the crew to return to Indonesia and reported their situation to their Indonesian counterparts, he said.

Bus driver doesn’t want bullies charged ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — A New York school bus monitor who was verbally assaulted by four middle schoolers, an attack that generated international outrage and an outpouring of support for the woman when a video of the taunts went viral, has told police she does not want the boys to face criminal charges.

The monitor, 68-year-old Karen Klein, told police she is happy with the swift and strong community response against the verbal attack aboard a Greece Central School District bus, which was captured in a 10-minute video, authorities said Thursday.

Criminally charging the boys, all sev-

enth-graders, would require their conduct to rise to the level of a crime, Greece Police Capt. Steve Chatterton said. So far, it has not been found to reach that level.

The YouTube video was viewed more than 1.5 million times by Thursday morning. An online crowd-funding site raised more than $225,000 by midday to help send Klein on vacation.

Klein said she hoped the boys’ parents would view the video of the attack and talk to their children about being “a little more respectful.” Parents of all four boys are cooperating fully and say their children will be punished, Chatterton said.

A student recorded the video. In it,

Klein is seen trying her best to ignore a stream of profanity, insults and outright threats directed at her. At one point, she breaks down in tears.

Klein told NBC’s “Today” show Thursday that it took “a lot of willpower” not to respond to Monday’s jeers from the boys riding the bus.

“I’m not usually that calm. Just ask my kids,” Klein, a grandmother of eight, said during the interview. “I’m sure they don’t act that way at home, but you never know what they’re going to do when they’re out of the house.”

Klein said she was “amazed” at the support she received.

Paraguay president faces impeachment trial ASUNCION, Paraguay (AP) — Paraguayan lawmakers voted to impeach President Fernando Lugo for his role in a deadly clash involving landless farmers and announced that the former Roman Catholic bishop’s impeachment trial would begin on Friday in the Senate.

Lugo, who was elected four

years ago on promises that he would help the South American country’s poor, went on national television to dismiss rumors that he would resign and vowed to face the trial “with all its consequences.”

The lower house voted 761 on Thursday to impeach the president. Hours later

the Senate announced that it will begin his impeachment trial on Friday.

In Paraguay, a poor, landlocked country with a history of political instability, the vote prompted frightened residents in the capital, Asuncion, to shutter businesses and pull children out of schools. Hospitals were put

on alert, freeing up beds in case of possible violence.

Paraguayans were unnerved by the possibility that the looming showdown in the opposition-controlled Senate could spark street protests such as those that followed the March 1999 assassination of Vice President Luis Maria Argana.

What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign.

may have? — Nameless, Lake Charles, La. NAMELESS: Both anorexics and bulimics are obsessed with thinness. They achieve this goal by “purging” after consuming an unusually large amount of food — usually by vomiting. But excessive use of laxatives is also a method of eliminating food. Gorging food is also referred to as “bingeing.”

Several serious physical ailments typically accompany bulimia, including low blood pressure, irregular heartanemia, beat, dehydration and constipation. Dental problems also exist both because the bulimics tend to favor sugary foods when bingeing and because the acid in their stomach destroys the enamel of their teeth when they vomit.

The percentage of deaths is greater with anorexia sufferers, but some bulimics have been known to die from heart attacks and choking on their own vomit.

COLUMBUS — The deadline is less than a month away for Ohio chefs to submit their best culinary recipes for the 2012 Ohio State Fair.

At this year’s fair, which runs from July 25 to Aug. 5, the Ohio Poultry Association (OPA) and American Dairy Association (ADA) Mideast will offer Ohio cooks the opportunity to compete in the “Smile and Say, Cheesecake!” and the “Ultimate Breakfast Challenge” competitions. Additionally, OPA is sponsoring the contest, “Cupcakes and Cake Pops Galore.”

To enter any of the competitions, three visit www.OhioStateFair.com and click on “competitions” and then click on “cooking, baking and decorating.” Entries must be submitted

by July 11.

“The competitions gives us the opportunity to showcase Ohio’s wholesome, nutritious egg and dairy products while also letting local cooks show off their culinary skills,” said Jim Chakeres, OPA executive vice president.

“Eggs can be used to make a wide variety of everyday meals to suit everyone’s taste buds.

And, since eggs provide the highest quality protein and average only 12 cents per egg, they also are a nutritious and economical solution.”

The “Cupcakes and Cake Pops Galore” contest returns for its fourth year and will take place at 3 p.m.

July 27 in the DiSalle Creative Arts Center.

New this year is a cake pops category in the amateur baker division.

Cake pops are small balls of cake covered in chocolate or fondant and served on a stick like a lollipop. Also new this year is a professional baker division.

All recipes for both amateur and professional divisions must be homemade and each participant must use a combination (whites or yolks) of three to four eggs in each recipe.

In partnership with the American Dairy Association Mideast, the “Ultimate Breakfast Challenge” competition will kick off at 10 a.m.

July 28 with a cooking challenge that will pit local celebrities against each other. After the celebrity chef competition, up to 20 exhibitors will be judged on recipes they must prepare in 30 minutes using a mystery basket of ingredients that will include Ohio eggs and dairy products.

The “Smile and Say, Cheesecake!” recipe contest will make its eighth appearance at 6 p.m. July 27. Three classes of cheesecakes will be judged including savory, sweet and individual. Each cheesecake must contain at least four Ohio eggs and real dairy products.

Ohio is the numbertwo egg-producing state in the nation, behind Iowa. The state produces more than 7 billion eggs each year.

Ohio’s dairy farms produce nearly 5 billion pounds of milk each year, ranking Ohio 11th nationally in the amount of milk produced and first in Swiss cheese production.

CORNER

Storms

BY MAURINE ZIMPFER A thunderstorm is coming, The sky is close and dense.

Thunder in the distance Growing more and more immense.

Birds have ceased their singing And leaves begin to flip.

Waiting anxiously for rain, To nourish, cool and sip.

The wind is now increasing, There’s lightning in the sky.

Thunder loudly booming — Are birds as scared as I? I’m sitting on the sofa As rain goes flying by.

Lamps go off, then flash back on, Just like the fourth of July.

Thunder fades, the storm moves on, The lightning goes away.

Birds begin to sing once more And leaves slow down to sway.

Dawn returns in splendor, Shows grass of brightest green.

Thank God for all his wisdom.

The land is fresh and clean.

With 33 percent of married mothers in Ohio serving as their families’ primary wage earner, and more than 6.3 million working single mothers heading families across the United States, it is urgent that women earn the pay they deserve. Our economy works better when women can negotiate fairly and when women are paid what they’re worth.

Unfortunately, 46 senators — all in the minority — voted against bringing Paycheck Fairness Act to the floor for a vote.

Ohio women are hard-working. Many get up early, stand on their feet all day, then head home and take care of their children — and they don’t ask for a handout. They don’t ask for a bailout.

But they do ask for equal pay.

They ask that we act now, that we continue the fight for the Paycheck Fairness Act — for women everywhere, and for our mothers, our daughters and our families. It’s these women that I will think about as we continue to fight together for equality and for the Paycheck Fairness Act.

How a person comes in contact with the pneumococcal germ isn’t easy to determine. Somewhere between 40 percent and 50 percent of healthy adults carry this bacterium in their noses and throats for four or more weeks without becoming sick. If they cough or sneeze, they produce an aerosol of pneumococcal germs that spread to those nearby. This is one way it spreads.

HUE: My 33-year-old son passed a kidney stone two weeks ago. He says it was a painful experience.

I am writing to ask you what his diet should be. I asked him if the doctor put him on a special diet, and he claims he did not. I thought a calcium-restricted diet was given to everyone who had a kidney stone.

Am I wrong? — K.T. ANSWER: A calciumrestricted diet was imposed on people who had a calcium kidney stone.

It no longer is. It turns out that such a diet doesn’t prevent new stones from forming. It actually increases the risk of new stone formation.

The most important dietary intervention for prevention of a recurrent stone is to drink lots of water. Diluting the urine is the best way to stop minerals like calcium from aggregating into a DEAR DR. DONO- stone.

You feel violated because you HAVE been.

marriage many people would envy. I don’t think you need marriage counseling. However, some sessions with a mental health professional might be helpful in putting this unpleasant incident behind you.

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.

Bengals’ Dalton more comfortable as leader JOE KAY AP Sports Writer CINCINNATI (AP) — If a receiver runs the wrong route, Andy Dalton isn’t shy about taking him aside and correcting the problem.

The quarterback is more comfortable with his role as a leader entering his second season with the Cincinnati Bengals, taking more responsibility on his inexperienced shoulders. He was so concerned about learning the play book as a rookie last season that he left a lot of things up to his coaches and teammates.

There was a clear difference during the Bengals’ three-day minicamp that ended Thursday.

“I think he’s just more comfortable or confident,” offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth said. “He’s not walking into a situation where who knows if the other starter’s coming back, if he’s going to have to play and all these other things he had to have in the back of his mind.

“Now he knows it’s his team and we’re rallying behind him and we’ll go as far as he takes us. He has that feeling.”

The second-round pick from TCU took the Bengals to the playoffs last season, where they lost to Houston in the first round. That was big stuff around Cincinnati, which has had only three winning records since 1991.

Both Dalton and rookie receiver A.J. Green — Cincinnati’s first-round pick —made the Pro Bowl.

It was more impressive because Dalton had so little time to learn the offense. The NFL lockout prevented him from working with coaches after the draft. A year ago this week, the Bengals were holding voluntary workouts at a soccer complex in the suburbs and at the University of Cincinnati, with second-string quarterback Jordan Palmer

When the league and the players reached a new labor deal, Dalton wasn’t sure if he would be the starter or whether starting quarterback Carson Palmer would relent on his threat to sit out if he

making a mistake? Not a priority.

“I was trying to get the next play or trying to do things like that, and I let the coaches handle it,” Dalton said. “Right now, I feel like I can go over there and say something because the next play is second nature.

“I think I’ve done a better job this spring. If a guy runs a route a little differently, instead of letting a coach do it, I’m going to go over there and talk to him. Things like that, where we make sure we’re on the same page.”

Dalton threw for 3,398 yards with 20 touchdowns and 13 interceptions last season, including a 332-yard game at Denver that set a Bengals passing record for a rookie. His 80.4 passer rating was the best by an AFC rookie.

He became only the fifth rookie quarterback in NFL history to throw for 3,000 yards. Game by game, he convinced the Bengals he was their quarterback of the future — one of the factors in owner Mike Brown’s decision to trade Carson Palmer to Oakland at midseason.

“I feel like everybody on this team understands and knows what they’re going to get out of me,” Dalton said.

“This year I am able to step out a little bit more. I was able to prove myself a little bit last year, and now everyone knows and understands we’re going to be on the same page, and I can voice that a little bit more.

“I probably should have done a little better job last year, but there were a lot of other things that were on my mind. But this year, I’m comfortable with everybody that we’ve got.”

They’ve noticed.

“Andy has looked good,” Green said. “He’s more comfortable out there. He knows it’s his team this year.”

Cops: Woman lied about being robbed PITTSBURGH (AP) — A Maryland woman has been charged with filing a false police report about a robbery at the downtown Pittsburgh hotel room of Cincinnati Reds pitcher Aroldis Chapman last month. Chapman Claudia Manrique of Silver Spring, Md., was charged Wednesday by Pittsburgh police with a misdemeanor and must return to Pittsburgh City Court for a preliminary hearing Aug. 28.

Manrique was not arrested; a court summons was being mailed to her.

Chapman told police he arranged for Manrique, an exotic dancer he had met earlier this year, to fly to Pittsburgh in May. The Reds were in town for a series with the Pirates at the time.

Police investigators contend Manrique lied when she claimed she was tied up in Chapman’s hotel room by an unknown assailant who made off with about $6,000 in jewelry and other items the night of May 29.

Manrique first told police the man showed up at the room pretending to be a maintenance man who was there to fix the toilet, but she later changed her story, saying she first encountered the man in a downtown drug store and he later showed up at Chapman’s room seeking a bag filled with more than $200,000 in jewelry.

Police said the bag contained some of Chapman’s jewelry but was not among items taken.

According to the police complaint, detectives interviewed Chapman through a team interpreter and Chapman told police “he believed that Manrique was involved with the theft and not being truthful.” Chapman, a Cuban native, doesn’t speak English.

Chapman told police that after Manrique arrived, she got several phone calls from a Spanish-speaking man whom she spoke to in English, apparently so Chapman would not understand her.

Damon leading Indians by example TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer CLEVELAND (AP) — Fresh from the shower, Johnny Damon strolls through the Indians’ clubhouse wearing a terry cloth bathrobe with his number 33 and last name on the back.

The garment, a replica of Cleveland’s home uniforms, is identical to the ones he gave as gifts to his new teammates, some of whom have been watching the veteran play since they were kids.

Although he looks a bit like Hugh Hefner — minus any playmates — as he walks to his locker, Damon exudes an unmistakable aura, one that demands respect and attention.

“He’s just a leader,” Indians outfielder Michael Brantley said.

In less than two months, Damon, who signed with Cleveland in April, has established himself as one of the team’s point men. The 38year-old outfielder is providing needed guidance and advice to a young Indians team leading the AL Central and hoping to play deep into October.

And lately, after a horrendous start at the plate, Damon has been coming through with clutch hits.

Johnny on the spot.

On Wednesday night, Damon’s two-run homer in the fourth inning set the tone

AP Photo/Tony Dejak

CLEVELAND’S JOHNNY Damon, right, is congratulated after hitting a two-run home run in the fourth inning Wednesday in Cleveland during an 8-1 win over the Reds. After a slow start, the 18-year veteran is beginning to find his swing for the first-place Indians, who signed Damon as a free agent in April. for Cleveland’s offense as the Indians beat the Cincinnati Reds 8-1 to complete a threegame sweep of the interleague series. It’s the most recent example of Damon delivering for the Indians, who were off Thursday and open a 10-game trip in Houston on Friday.

After being under .200 for most of the past month, Damon has bumped his average to .203 by hitting .400 (6 for 15) in his last six games.

But he’s been slowly building with a .295 average over his past 16 games with eight RBIs and 10 runs.

To this point, he’s given the

Indians more quality than quantity.

“He’s gotten so many big hits that go unnoticed just because of the batting average,” Indians manager Manny Acta said. “Johnny got that two-run double the other day to beat Detroit. Johnny got the big homer to give us a cushion against the St. Louis Cardinals when everybody just remembers the three-run homer that Jason Kipnis hit. Everybody forgot that it was Johnny who started the rally with a single off their closer.

“His concentration level when the game is on the line

has been a tremendous teaching tool to these young guys.”

Damon missed all of spring training, which may account for his early struggles. He wasn’t ready for major league pitching, although Damon didn’t want to use the lack of swings in Arizona as an excuse.

“It’s not that I got too far behind,” he said. “It’s just a matter of scuffling a little bit at first. I came here ready to go, but the hits didn’t come and I started changing my stance a little to overcompensate when I actually didn’t have to worry about anything.

The hits just weren’t coming.

Sometimes as players that’s what you do first, but I feel like I’m in a good spot now.

“But obviously good at-bats don’t always translate into hits.”

Damon, who played for Tampa Bay last season, was without a job and contemplating life after baseball before the Indians signed him to minor league deal worth $1.25 million. He can earn another $1.4 million in incentives.

When Damon signed, the sides agreed that if he wasn’t content with his playing time or didn’t fit in with the club, he could ask for his release.

Damon’s not going anywhere. He’s settled in with Cleveland, his seventh club in a major league career that began in 1995 with Kansas City.

Shortly after joining the Indians, he handed out the bathrobes.

“It’s something I started doing a few years ago in Detroit and Tampa Bay,” he said.

“The guys always thought it was cool and I thought why don’t I take care of the players.”

Since arriving, Damon has been taking care of Cleveland’s youngsters. He’s offered them tips on hitting, baserunning and just being a professional. And because he does it in such a genuine, humble manner, the Indians have listened and learned.

Sidney’s Thornton named first-team All-GWOC North The Greater Western Ohio Conference recently announced its allleague teams for the spring season, and Sidney had four named to the top two squads in either baseball or softball in the GWOC North.

In softball, Sidney finished with an 11-15 record, including 4-6 in the North.

Four Lady Jackets were named to the team, including senior designated hitter Rebecca Thornton to the first team, and junior outfielder Ashley Doak and sophomore infielder Rachel Heckaman to the second team.

Sophomore Maddi Homan was named to the special mention list.

Thornton hit .397 this spring, Doak .375 and Heckaman .319, including four triples. Homan actually led the team in hitting at .425.

Thornton was also

Sidney’s workhorse on the mound, pitching 114 innings. She finished with 91 strikeouts.

In baseball, Sidney was 2-8 in the North and 5-21 overall.

Connor Echols was named to the second team. He’s an infielder and just a freshman.

Three other Jackets were named to the special mention list, including senior Alex White and juniors Kaleb Dotson and Brian Fishbaugh.

Echols led the Jackets in hitting with a .405 average and in RBIs with 17. His 34 hits were also tops on the team, and he also worked the most innings of any pitcher. He had a 3.67 earned run average.

Riverside’s Hurley scholarship winner DEGRAFF — Riverside graduate Kyle Hurley is the recipient of Northa west Cent r a l Conference John Shivley Scholarship, w o r t h Hurley $500, it was announced Thursday.

Hurley just graduated from Riverside, where he earned 13 varsity letters in golf, cross country, basketball,

baseball and track.

He graduated with a 3.56 grade point average and plans to attend bowling Green and major in education.

The scholarship is named for the former Lima Perry High School athletic director, coach and dean of students and teachers. He lost his battle with cancer last summer.

This is the first year the scholarships have been awarded. Also winning was Grace Poeppelman of Ridgemont High School.

AP EXCHANGE Ohio State power forward Jared Sullinger is working out for the Cavaliers today at Cleveland Clinic Courts.

Sullinger, a 6-foot-9, 268-pounder, has been medically red-flagged by NBA doctors who have expressed concern over the player’s back, according to a story on ESPN.com. His agent refuted the story, saying that he has tight hamstrings.

The first-team AllAmerican could drop in the June 28 NBA draft.

He‚Äôs no longer a lock to be drafted in the lottery “He probably won’t be drafted earlier than No.

“He came in and was talking to the young guys right away,” Brantley said. “He’s given us a little perspective on what it takes to stay here, the mental grind.

He’s just always real positive. We always admired him and looked up to him, watching him on TV and how hard he played.

“He plays the game the right way and to have him in the same locker room, just being able to ask him firsthand questions is phenomenal.”

Cavs hires Sims The Cavs hired Brad Sims as their senior vice president and chief revenue officer. Sims leaves his post at the NBA where he was vice president of team business development, team marketing and business operations.

He will oversee the Cavs’ entire multi-property business platform, including providing direction to the casino sales efforts in concert

with the Horseshoe Casino Cleveland team.

Mullens out Byron Mullens will miss the London Olympics because of an injury, depriving host Britain of one of its three NBA players.

The Charlotte Bobcats center, who was born in Columbus, Ohio, but has an English mother, is shelved for the tournament because of a long-standing toe problem.

Mullens received his British passport in March and hasn't yet played for Britain.

Britain coach Chris Finch says: “It is disappointing but we have a very strong squad in camp.”

From Page 15 Acta said Damon’s leadership by example has been instrumental to the Indians’ success.

He hasn’t griped about playing time or being taken out of left field in the late innings for defensive purposes. He kept working during his slump, taking extra batting practice to find his lost stroke.

“The way he carries himself and the way he hasn’t allowed the struggles to show or change the way he goes about his business, that’s something that is price-

less to teaching these guys,” Acta said. “He’s been a pro, man. It’s very easy to be a nice guy and a good leader when things are going good.

But when things are going the wrong way, it takes a high-character guy to show up every day with the same face and treat his teammates the way he does.”

Damon knows he doesn’t have many summers left.

He’s approaching 3,000 hits, but may not get there before he has to call it quits.

Damon can’t think of that now. He isn’t ready to slip on any retirement robe.

“If the body feels good, I’m just going to keep going,” he said. “I would love to say I want to play until the jersey gets ripped off my back, but I also know that being 38 now, things could change in a moment. I have six kids who I think they all really love me.

“I’d like to keep playing. I’d like to keep winning and having an opportunity to win.”

More than mud: Jeep club active in community causes

BY MARY ELLEN EGBERT Have you ever been driving down the street or highway and noticed a bumper sticker that reads, “It’s a Jeep Thing, You Wouldn’t Understand”?

According to Bobby Johnson, co-founder and president of the Lone Wolf Jeepers of Shelby County, it’s a truth that many people really don’t understand, but he does. In January 2010, he, his brother Eddie Johnson and a friend, Jimmy Hamilton, had the first official meeting of their club.

“I have been going to events for years with my Jeep,” explained Bobby. “There is a group out of Dayton that I would visit often. They are the Dayton Muddy Buddies, and it is through that club that I was able to connect with the right people to get our own club started here.

Starting club “I couldn’t drive down there enough to be a real asset to their group like I wanted to.

There were events and meetings I just couldn’t get to, so I began asking questions about how to start a group in Sidney.

“Rob Eldridge from the Buddies helped me get started.

He put me in touch with other clubs around the state, and all together, they helped me to organize.

“Starting a club takes more than just starting meetings with friends. We had to have rules and by-laws as well as a mission statement in order to operate as a club that is recognized at the state and national levels. It was about a six- to eight-month process.”

Just like any club, Lone Wolf Jeepers was established for a purpose. The first thing that one might think of when they see that bumper sticker in the window or on the bumper of a Jeep is the stereotype “off-road” image. And although that is very true about most Jeepers, there is another layer to this group that goes much deeper.
