Health care law lives BY MARK SHERMAN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Obamacare lives. America’s historic health care overhaul, derided by Republicans as intrusive, costly “Obamacare,” narrowly survived an election-year battle
For local and state reaction of the decision, see Pages 3-4
at the Supreme Court Thursday with the improbable help of conservative Chief Justice John Roberts. The 5-4 ruling now makes it certain that major health
care changes will move ahead, touching virtually every American’s life. And Democrats, who have learned to accept if not love the GOP label for the law, heartily praised the decision. But the ruling also gave Republicans unexpected ammunition to energize support-
ers for the fall campaign against President Barack Obama, the bill’s champion — and for next year’s vigorous efforts to repeal the law as a new federal tax Roberts’ vote, along with those of the court’s four liberal justices, preserved the largest See LAW/Page 5

judge, during a hearing. The judge suffered minor injuries. Hegemann said that was the only other assault that he knows of in a local courtroom. Hegemann also credits the Sidney Municipal Court staff for their assistance, especially assistant prosecutor Jeff Beigel. Beigel was sitting at the table next to Hegemann when the incident started. “Jeff Beigel with the prosecutor’s office responded immediately,” said Hegemann. “Everyone came to my immediate aid, but Beigel was there first. He was the one who pulled Russell away by pulling him into a bear hug.” After Beigel pulled Russell away, other Municipal Court staff members helped to subdue Russell. Russell will face the judge again this morning for his charges which stemmed from a Tuesday morning incident at his residence. That incident reportedly began as a domestic dispute about 1 a.m. with his live-in girlfriend, who escaped the situation early and was not involved in the standoff. Russell was reportedly armed with a knife and throwing household goods out of the windows and down the stairs. There is no word yet on what new charges Russell will face from the incident on Wednesday. It is also not known who will represent him since Hegemann has a conflict of interest in this case.

healthcare reform efforts to move forward,” he said. “This Supreme Court ruling will provide 1 million uninsured Ohioans better access to essential care. While there are many provisions of the healthcare law that need further debate and refinement, it is appropriate that such refinement be conducted by future legislative action. In the long term, the upcoming November elections will be much more important than the recent Supreme Court ruling in defining future healthcare in the United States.” Insurance agents, too, don’t have a clear picture of the ramifications of the ruling. “People will have to read it in full,” said Denny Barker of Barker Insurance. “(TV newspeople) are commenting on the first four pages, but it’s 30 or 40 pages long. Insurance companies are sitting back, waiting.” He acknowledged that the industry could benefit from people’s needing to acquire health insurance, but he fears that businesses will drop the coverage they carry for their employees and opt to pay a fine instead. There may be an increase in health insurance quotes by agents, he
noted, “but we don’t know if the government will do that” rather than private agencies. Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Urbana), who represents Shelby County, responded along party lines. “The Court’s decision is disappointing. There are now no limits to the reach of the federal government,” he said in a prepared statement. “The President told us the individual mandate was not a tax. Now the Supreme Court says it is. Either way, ObamaCare must be repealed. It puts Washington in charge and devours trillions of taxpayer dollars without making a dent in the cost of health care. “We should repeal and restart. This will allow us to start over, taking the time to get health care reform right with simple, commonsense reforms and strong public support.” While politicians posture and point fingers at one another, local authorities are approaching the controversial measure by saying, “It’s too soon to tell.” “I don’t know how it will affect us,” Barker said. Bey agreed. “Right now, for us here, it’s wait and see.”

JUDY man, Judy thought a moment, then replied: “I’m most pleased with how we’ve been able, as a staff, to weather the ongoing financial climate and still minimize its impact on citizens.” Judy has been Sidney’s Miami Valley Risk Management’s representative since 1998 and served as its president in 2003. The organization represents 20 Dayton area municipalities banded together for liability insurance and other risk management activities. He begins his new job July 23 after several weeks vacation with family. A native of Champaign County and a Graham High School graduate, Judy began his days in Sidney as finance officer, succeeding Mike Puckett who became city manager. At the time he said he was drawn to Sidney because he liked the community and the professionalism of its city staff. Before coming to Sidney, he worked as a city

Political battle over health care looms BY JULIE CARR SMYTH Associated Press CINCINNATI (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling upholding the heart of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul aimed at uninsured people also ensures that Republicans will highlight their continued opposition for the fall campaign in the pivotal state of Ohio. The state’s former Democratic governor said Thursday that the Republican opponents risk alienating Americans who will benefit from the changes. Ted Strickland, an Obama campaign co-chairman, also called on his Republican successor’s administration to get moving on a state health care exchange. Gov. John Kasich and Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor said they were analyzing a court ruling they found disappointing and were concerned about dramat-
ically higher costs it could mean in the state for Medicaid and other coverage. She said she and Kasich think the “best solution for Ohio” is for Obama to be replaced by Republican Mitt Romney and the health care law be repealed. “This matter will now be fought out in the political arena, again,” said Attorney General Mike DeWine, also a Republican. “It makes this issue the pre-eminent issue of the presidential campaign. … People will have the ability this fall to do what the United States Supreme Court would not do today, and that is to repeal Obamacare.” The race between Obama and Romney is expected to be close in Ohio, a swing state likely to be crucial to Romney’s chances of winning the general election. Republican Sen. Rob Portman said that Ohio voters have already expressed their opposition to the
law and that health care is “one of the issues that will help decide the election in Ohio, and therefore around the country.” Ohioans voted heavily against the overhaul’s mandated coverage in a largely symbolic referendum last year, and statewide polls this year continue to indicate most Ohioans are opposed to the health care law. “It gives Romney a target if Ohioans continue to not like the health care law,” said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. Brown said the decision was a boost to Obama’s reelection campaign because it allowed his signature legislation to stand. He said some Ohioans might now think the law is acceptable since it has been to the Supreme Court, but it’s too soon to tell. “Over the next four months, the question is can Romney
essentially make lemonade out of lemons,” Brown said in an interview. “And that’s really the unknown question.” Former Gov. Strickland said Republicans are focusing on opposing Obama instead of the issues of 30 million uninsured Americans — some 1.5 million in Ohio — and sick people with pre-existing conditions. “These people puzzle me,” Strickland told The Associated Press. “They keep talking about repealing and replacing, but they’re not talking much about the replacing part. … They have no answers.” DeWine said the state will continue to be part of a lawsuit disputing the health care law on the grounds it compels people to violate their religious principles, and U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, R-West Chester, pledged to work for its repeal. Taylor, who serves as state insurance director, has fre-
quently criticized the overhaul, while saying the state needed more information for the federal government on the exchange plans. “I think we find ourselves well behind most other states,” Strickland said. “So she needs to stop talking and go to work and pull together the kind of efforts that’s going to be necessary to get these exchanges up and running.” Taylor said Ohio’s leadership doesn’t see an advantage to a state-run exchange program, nor where needed funding for exchange costs and for additional coverages — such as $369 million more in state matching funds for Medicaid in 2014 — will come from. “We are concerned that this will cripple the recovery in Ohio,” Taylor told reporters. She also said higher state costs could lead to cuts in state Medicaid services. She said the state is still studying other implications of the ruling.

Ohio to see fire, health risks with heat CINCINNATI (AP) — A heat wave rolling across Ohio sent temperatures and irritability soaring Thursday, promising a scorching start to the July Fourth holiday weekend and an end to the relief provided by cool nights the past few weeks. Nicole Lewis could feel the effects of the increasing humidity as she waited for a bus in downtown Cincinnati, where the temperature was expected to hit 100 or higher. “I’m already feeling fussy and cranky,” Lewis said, while fanning with a brochure in the 95-degree heat. “Even though the temperatures weren’t bad this morning, I could feel more humidity as I walked out the door.” The lack of humidity over the past few weeks and the drier ground allowed many areas to cool off at night “like deserts,” said Seth Binau, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Wilmington office in southwest Ohio. But on Thursday excessive-heat warnings and heat advisories were in effect throughout the state, with forecasts calling for temperatures of 100 degrees or higher in areas including Cincinnati and Dayton. The thermometer was expected to approach 100 degrees in Columbus and Toledo, and cooling centers were designated in
many parts of the state to help those Ohioans needing to escape the heat. State health officials urged people not to spend too much time outdoors and to stay hydrated to avoid heat-related illness over the next several days. Lewis, dressed in shorts and a sleeveless shirt, said she wished she was home in her apartment complex’s pool instead of heading to an orientation for her janitorial job. “When it starts to get like this, I try not to go out in the day if I can avoid it, but I didn’t have a choice,” said Lewis, who lives in nearby Batavia. “I’m already hot and sweaty.” Landscapers and mowing crews got an early start on Thursday to beat the afternoon heat. Tom Curdes, owner of Barron’s Lawn Service in suburban Toledo, said his employees pushed to get more yards done earlier in the week. He also sent out an extra mowing crew on Thursday so his workers would be done early. “We’re just trying to be as safe as possible,” he said. The high temperatures combined with increased winds and still relatively low humidity levels in other parts of Ohio led the weather service to issue warnings of a high fire danger from noon into Thursday night, especially in the northwest area.

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Saturday, June 30, the 182nd day of 2012. There are 184 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 30, 1912, Canada’s deadliest tornado on record occurred as a lateafternoon cyclone struck Regina, the provincial capital of Saskatchewan, killing 28 people and destroying or damaging 500 buildings. On this date: ■ In 1859, French acrobat Charles Blondin walked back and forth on a tightrope above the gorge of Niagara Falls as thousands of spectators watched. ■ In 1860, the famous Oxford University Museum debate on Darwin’s theory of evolution took place as Anglican Bishop Samuel Wilberforce led his side in denouncing the concept, while biologist T.H. Huxley defended it. ■ In 1908, the Tunguska Event took place in Russia as an asteroid exploded above Siberia, leaving 800 square miles of scorched or blown-down trees. ■ In 1921, President Warren G. Harding nominated former President William Howard Taft to be chief justice of the United States, succeeding the late Edward Douglass White. ■ In 1934, Adolf Hitler carried out his “blood purge” of political and military rivals in Germany in what came to be known as “The Night of the Long Knives.” ■ In 1936, the epic Civil War novel “Gone with the Wind” by Margaret Mitchell was first published by The Macmillan Co. in New York. ■ In 1952, “The Guiding Light,” a popular radio program, began a 57-year television run on CBS. ■ In 1958, the U.S. Senate passed the Alaska statehood bill by a vote of 64-20. ■ In 1963, Pope Paul VI was crowned the 262nd head of the Roman Catholic Church. ■ In 1972, for the first time, a leap-second was added to Coordinated Universal Time to account for the slowing rotation of the Earth. ■ In 1982, the proposed Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution expired, having failed to receive the required number of ratifications for its adoption, despite having its seven-year deadline extended by three years. ■ In 1985, 39 American hostages from a hijacked TWA jetliner were freed in Beirut after being held 17 days. Ten years ago: Leonard Gregg, a part-time firefighter, was charged with starting one of the two wildfires that merged into a monstrous blaze in eastern Arizona. (Gregg later pleaded guilty and was sentenced in 2004 to 10 years in federal prison; he was released in June 2011.)

Slingshot hits camera ELLICOTT CITY, Md. (AP) — Police in Maryland say a man has been charged with assault for using a slingshot to fire glass marbles at a speed camera van. Authorities say Bruce Lawrence May of Ellicott City was arrested Tuesday. The 50-year-old Lawrence was also charged with destruction of property and reckless endangerment. He was released on $3,000 bond. Howard County police say that at about 5 p.m. Tuesday, the van was near Manor Woods Elementary School when the operator heard something hit the side of the vehicle. The operator saw a minivan pass and saw the driver with a slingshot fire another projectile at the speed camera van. Police say that May had received two speed camera violations recently.

Turkey fortifies Syrian border BEIRUT (AP) — Turkey deployed anti-aircraft guns, rocket launchers and other weapons along its border with Syria on Thursday, a military buildup that came as world powers showed new urgency to resolve the crisis before it ignites the region. A bomb exploded in central Damascus near a busy market and the country’s main justice complex, wounding at least three people, damaging cars in a parking lot and sending a black cloud rising above the Syrian capital. It was not clear who was behind the bombing. Much of the violence that has gripped Syria since the uprising began in March 2011 has been sanctioned by the
government of President Bashar Assad to crush dissent. Activists say more than 14,000 people have been killed. But rebel fighters are launching increasingly deadly attacks on regime targets, and several massive suicide attacks this year suggest alQaida or other extremists are joining the fray. Assad told Iranian state TV Thursday that his country still supports him, and he warned that any intervention in Syria will cause a “domino” effect in the region. He has given similar warnings before, saying the entire Middle East will go up in flames if others meddle in his country. Turkey, a former ally of
Syria, has become one of the strongest critics of the Assad regime, and tensions between the two countries spiked following the downing of a Turkish military plane last week. A small convoy of Turkish military trucks towing antiaircraft guns entered a military outpost in the border village of Guvecci, which faces a Syrian military outpost, according to TRT television video. Several anti-aircraft guns also have been deployed elsewhere along the border. Some trucks were seen carrying self-propelled multiple rocket launchers, the video showed. Ties between Turkey and Syria have not been this low since the late 1990s, when the
neighbors almost went to war. Tensions ran high in the 1980s and 1990s as Turkey developed military ties with Israel and Syria sheltered Turkish Kurd guerrilla leader Abdullah Ocalan. Now, Turkey is hosting civilian opposition groups as well as hundreds of military defectors who are affiliated with the rebel Free Syrian Army. Syria insists the Turkish military plane it shot down on June 22 had violated its airspace. Turkey says the jet had unintentionally strayed into Syria’s airspace and was inside international airspace when it was brought down over the Mediterranean by Syria.
‘Miss Holocaust Survivor’ is crowned

A MEMBER of the Rock Creek Rural Fire Protection District fights a fire near the Hidden Lakes subdivision on Wednesday in Twin Falls, Idaho.
Fire destroys 346 homes COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — A raging Colorado wildfire that forced tens of thousands to flee destroyed an estimated 346 homes this week, making it the most destructive fire in the state’s history, officials said. From above, the destruction becomes painfully clear: Rows and rows of houses were reduced to smoldering ashes even as some homes just feet away survived largely intact. On one street, all but three houses had burned to their foundations, said Ryan Schneider, whose home is still standing in a neighborhood where 51 others were destroyed. “I was real happy at first. My wife was happy,” he said. “The emotion of seeing the other homes, though, was instant sadness.” While the aerial photos showed the scope of one of the worst fires to hit the American West in decades, they did little to help ease the concerns of many residents who still did not know the fate of homes. Amid the devastation in the foothills of Colorado Springs, there were hopeful signs. Flames advancing on the U.S. Air Force Academy were stopped and cooler conditions could help slow the fire. Colorado Springs Mayor Steve Bach said
the 346 estimate could change. A fire in northern Colorado, which is still burning, destroyed 257 homes and until Thursday was the most destructive in state history. For now, Bach said, the news of the destruction would make it very difficult for the city about 60 miles south of Denver. “This is going to be a tough evening, but we’re going to get through it,” Bach said. “This community is going to surround them with love and encouragement … We will move forward as a community.” More than 30,000 people frantically packed up belongings Tuesday night as the flames swept through their neighborhoods. While there’s no indication yet the blaze claimed any lives, fire officials said they would search each home looking for possible remains. Community officials were planning to begin the process of notifying residents Thursday that their homes were destroyed. For many residents, the official notification was a formality. Residents recognize their street on aerial pictures and carefully scrutinize the images to determine the damage. Photos and video from The Associated Press and the Denver Post showed widespread damage.
LAW expansion of the nation’s social safety net in more than 45 years, including the hotly debated core requirement that nearly everyone have health insurance or pay a penalty. The aim is to extend coverage to more than 30 million people who now are uninsured The decision meant the huge overhaul, still taking effect, could proceed and pick up momentum over the next several years, with an impact on the way that countless Americans receive and pay for their personal medical care. The ruling handed Obama a campaign-season victory in rejecting arguments that Congress went too far in approving the plan. However, Republicans quickly indicated they would try to use the decision against him. At the White House, Obama declared, “Whatever the politics, today’s decision was a victory for people all over this country.” Blocks away, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney renewed his criticism of the overhaul, calling it “bad law” and promising to work to repeal it if elected in November.
HAIFA, Israel (AP) — Grinning and waving, 14 women who survived the horrors of World War II paraded Thursday in an unusual pageant, vying for the honor of being crowned Israel’s first “Miss Holocaust Survivor.” Billed by organizers as a celebration of life, the event also stirred controversy. In a country where millions have been touched by the Holocaust, many argued that judging aging women who had suffered so much on physical appearance was inappropriate, and even offensive. “It sounds totally macabre to me,” said Colette Avital, chairwoman of Israel’s leading Holocaust survivors’ umbrella group. “I am in favor of enriching lives, but a onetime pageant masquerading (survivors) with beautiful clothes is not what is going to make their lives more meaningful.” Pageant organizer Shimon Sabag rejected the criticism, saying the winners were chosen based on their personal stories of survival and rebuilding their lives after the war, and physical beauty was only a tiny part of the competition. “They feel good together. They are having a good time and laughing in the rehearsals,” said Sabag, director of Yad Ezer L’Haver, or Helping Hand, which assists needy Holocaust survivors and organized the pageant. “The fact that so many wanted to participate proves that it’s a good idea.” Nearly 300 women from across Israel registered for the competition and contestants were whittled down to the 14 finalists who appeared Thursday.
From Page 1 Demonstrators for and against the law crowded the grounds outside the Supreme Court Building on Capitol Hill as Roberts, sitting at the center of the nine black-robed justices inside, announced the decision to a packed courtroom. Breaking with the other conservative justices, Roberts wrote the judgment that allows the law to go forward. He explained at length the court’s view of the insurance mandate as a valid exercise of Congress’ authority to “lay and collect taxes.” The administration estimates that roughly 4 million people will pay the penalty rather than buy insurance. Roberts, appointed by Republican President George W. Bush, opposed by young Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois and much-criticized by Democrats in recent years, sided with his court’s liberals on a major case for the second time this week as the justices concluded their 2011-12 term. On Monday, he had voted to invalidate parts of Arizona’s tough crackdown on illegal immigrants. In the health care case, Con-
gress had referred to a penalty, not a tax, on people who don’t obtain insurance. But Roberts said the court would not get hung up on labels. Among other indications it is a tax, Roberts said, “the payment is collected solely by the IRS through the normal means of taxation.” “Because the Constitution permits such a tax, it is not our role to forbid it, or to pass upon its wisdom or fairness,” Roberts said. Many Republicans oppose the law, arguing that it marks a government takeover of health care at the same time it curtails Medicare spending and raises taxes. They also point to studies that predict private employers will be forced to reduce or eliminate coverage and that the legislation will wind up costing far more than estimated, raising federal deficits as a result. Stocks of hospital companies rose and some insurance companies fell after the ruling. The decision should help hospitals by adding millions of people to the rolls of the insured, expanding the pool of health care consumers. But by
the same reasoning, insurance companies will also gain millions of premium-paying customers. The court found problems with the law’s expansion of Medicaid, but even there it said the expansion could proceed as long as the federal government does not threaten to withhold states’ entire Medicaid allotment if they don’t take part. Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor joined Roberts in the outcome. Justices Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas dissented. Kennedy summarized the dissent in the courtroom. “In our view, the act before us is invalid in its entirety,” he said. The dissenters said in a joint statement that the law “exceeds federal power both in mandating the purchase of health insurance and in denying non-consenting states all Medicaid funding.” The justices rejected two of the administration’s three arguments in support of the insurance requirement.

Protect hearing during holdiay fireworks shows

TROY — The Doctors of Audiology at Upper Valley Hearing and Balance Inc. urge all people to protect their hearing when enjoying the fireworks this July 4. The sound produced by the blast of a firework or firecracker at close range can cause permanent hearing damage. However, a few simple precautions can allow people to enjoy the festivities of the Fourth of July holiday while still protecting their hearing. Two types of sound exposure can cause noise-induced hearing loss: prolonged noise exposure or a sudden,

The BHI recommends placing the earplugs in securely at the beginning of the fireworks display and leaving them in place for the entire show. Children in particular are at high risk for noise-induced hearing damage so parents should take precautions to make sure that little ears are well protected while enjoying the fireworks. “Noise exposure is
one of the most common causes of irreversible hearing loss, but the good news is that it is preventable,” said Dr. Jane Rudy, audiologist and owner of Upper Valley Hearing & Balance Inc. “Exposure to noise over 85dB is unsafe and can cause damage. The

Shelby County residents can compete to see if they cut the mustard – and ketchup – during a hot dog-eating contest Wednesday. In the spirit of the annual contest held on Coney Island every Independence Day, the Relay For Life team from First Church of God in Sidney is staging its own battle of the bun. The contest is planned in conjunction with the team’s annual Fourth of July extravaganza behind Sidney High School. Beginning at 7 p.m., contestants will have two minutes to snarf as many sausages as they can, and a wienie winner will be declared. The entry fee is $5, and all entrants, who must be 18 or older, must sign a waiver. The winner will receive half of the entry fees, a full stomach, and — let’s be frank – the coveted title of “Top Dog.” It will be a victory to relish.

When exposed to loud sounds, the delicate hair cells lining the inner ear responsible for converting vibrations into sound can become damaged, resulting in hearing loss. According to the Better Hearing Institute’s (BHI) recommendation, people should enjoy fireworks displays from a comfortable distance and protect their ears with earplugs or other hearing protection.

50th wedding anniversary on June 2. Although the 71-yearold wife never received any specific advice from her parents, their example of a 50-plus-year marriage was a living testimony. “We were just brought up when you got married you were married. You sort of follow in their footsteps … how they lived. My husband’s father and mother were married 65 years, and I guess that’s what we are shooting for,” she said.
‘Partnership’ “There’s a lot of difference now days between the kids and us. They have jobs and can make it on their own,” explained Mrs. Mescher. “We were home with our children. We quit working. We relied (on our spouses) to bring the money in. … It was a kind of partnership,” she explained of the cultural shift with women working outside the home. Her advice to couples just beginning their journey is, “It’s a lot of give and take.” For folks experiencing difficult times, “Hang in there, tomorrow’s going to be better,” encouraged the retired St. Michael Church employee. As for motivation, “You live for your kids and grandkids.” Sharing happenings about her children and grandchildren is one experience that Sue Britton misses greatly. “It’s lonely being alone. … There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t say, ‘Wait until Bill hears this,” said the 78-year-old widow. Sue and her late spouse, Bill Britton, were both battling can-
cer at the same time three years ago. The longtime Sidney resident survived her bout with ovarian cancer, but tragically Bill succumbed to lung cancer three years ago this past May. Married in 1955, the couple shared almost 55 wonderful years together. “My father always told me to marry a man who is good to his mother … and Bill was.” Sue is grateful she followed her dad’s wise advice.
‘Trust’ The couple raised three children together with Sue spending “90 percent of her married life as a housewife.” Her suggestion for a good marriage is to, “Just trust each other … in every way.” If there are “any reservations, don’t marry them,” she warned. Sue’s life seems full with family, friends and restored health. Yet the outgoing widow said, “I would give anything for just five more minutes” with her husband. “Because I just had so much to tell him that I never told him. It’s … companionship you miss the most.” In closing, if you have some things to tell someone you love, why not do it today. After all, they might not be here tomorrow to listen.

TO THE EDITOR
Pool regs should be revised To the editor: You may have read that at the Sidney City Council meeting on Monday there was discussion about the current city ordinance regarding “temporary swimming pools.” Local residents have been given notice that their pools do not meet city regulations. Specifically, pools must be at least 10 feet from all property lines, they must have grounded electrical wiring for the pump and there must be at least a 5-foot-high fence around the pool area. The letters to the residents stated that if they did not comply with the current ordinance within 10 days, they would be fined $100 per day until an inspection was completed and they were found to be in compliance. Mayor Mike Barhorst requested that enforcement efforts be suspended while city staff members review the current ordinance over the next two weeks. Area residents have done extensive research regarding the installation and use of the newer temporary pools in question. Through conversations with the director of risk assessment of Intex Recreation Corp., the manufacturer, they have learned that the National Electrical Code states that the pump meets all safety requirements when plugged into a GFCI outlet and that the grounding required by the current
ordinance is not necessary. The estimate from local electricians for this grounding is between $600 and $1,000. Many residents don’t have large enough lots to comply with the 10foot boundary requirement. Most people would agree that if someone wants to access a pool, a 5-foot fence is no more of a deterrent than a 3- or 4-foot fence. The current ordinance was passed in 1996 before this type of pool was available. Council members were given information from the manufacturer addressing the proper installation and use of these pools as well as copies of the National Electrical Code. Safety is first and foremost, but as residents we should be allowed the freedom to enjoy these pools while accept the responsibility that goes along with it. We are requesting that the council revise the current ordinance to meet the necessary requirements of the pools that are now available on the market, as well as the needs of the residents. We ask that any citizen of the city of Sidney that has any input on this topic, contact their council member. If you need to know with whom to speak, please contact Joyce Goubeaux, clerk of council, at 498-8143. Teri Klikovits 112 W. Parkwood St.

LaCal marks 30 years in Jackson Center BY TERRY PELLMAN JACKSON CENTER — A Jackson Center industry is celebrating its 30th anniversary of its local presence. The LaCal Equipment Corp. began operations in Jackson Center on June 14, 1982. LaCal is located at 901 W. Pike St. in its clean and inviting plant, but until several years ago it occupied a facility on a side street in the village. CEO Charles Cole recalls that until the firm moved to its current and more visible location, there were some community residents who were not that aware of the company’s presence. The move was made in November 2006 to the current 83,000square-foot building. LaCal Equipment is one of just a few companies aside from the original manufacturers that provide replacement parts for the types of heavy equipment used by municipalities, states, counties, port authorities and airports.

LaCal was founded in 1947 in Los Angeles, Calif., hence the corporation’s name. When the
company was purchased and relocated to Jackson Center, the new owners decided it was best to retain the familiar and established name. Ten years ago, LaCal was sold to a corporation based in Columbus that owns several manufacturing companies. That
organization also owns the Columbus Blue Jackets franchise of the National Hockey League. Between 40 and 50 employees work at the facility, producing the parts needed to keep the towns and airports running. The goal is to pro-
vide parts as quickly as possible, and this requires the crew to be versatile and creative. This also requires a sales staff knowledgeable of the variety of machinery in use. Some things can be kept on hand, but the employees may need to fabricate a part. The facility has a welding shop, a powder coat paint room and assembly processes. All of this is supported by a vast array of machine tools. In some cases, vehicles are brought in for repair, but the company does not send repair staff away on calls. The company concentrates on providing same-day shipment of needed items. There are more than 15,000 parts in stock, and new ones are added on a daily basis. As a result, the company is able to ship 95 percent of orders within 24 hours. Many are shipped by UPS or FedEx. Customers are located in the contiguous 48 states, and to a more limited degree, Alaska
COLLEGE
and Hawaii. Not all business is domestic: A customer may need a part for a snow blade for a Canadian city or a street cleaner in Mexico. Due to shipping costs, most customers are east of the Mississippi River. The company president is Roger Detrick, who oversees many of the plant operations, and the vice president is Mary Lee Smock. She handles many of the financial and administrative functions. Tom Homan serves as the firm’s sales coordinator. A team of sales representatives is assigned sales territories by state or province. Cole says that today Detrick and Smock actually run the company. Although he has largely scaled back his direct involvement in the company, Cole still has a deep interest in its activities. He also emphasizes that providing such a diverse product line requires talent in the workforce, and he states that LaCal has been fortunate in that regard.

Longtime reporter dies LOS ANGELES (AP) — Bob Banfield, who covered Robert Kennedy’s assassination and the Manson murders during his 43 years as a reporter for Los Angeles TV station KABC, has died. He was 82. The station says Banfield died Thursday morning after a battle with cancer. Banfield got his first broadcasting job at 18 as a junior announcer on a local radio station in East Liverpool, Ohio.

DR. WALLACE: I’m 17 and have been dating Jose, 18. He’s a really nice guy, and we’ve been seeing each other for over 6 months. I care for Jose very much. I’ve dated a lot of different guys, and I think this one is “the one.” I’ll be a senior in high school and will ’Tween graduate in June of 12 & 20 2013. I’m a Dr. Robert good stuWallace dent and make good grades. I have been accepted at Texas El Paso University, but I’m not sure if I want to go to college now. It all depends on my relationship with Jose. He dropped out of school during his junior year because he had a chance to work in an auto repair shop with his friend whose dad owns the repair shop. He makes good wages, and he really likes his job. My parents disapprove of Jose because I happened to mention one day when he was late that he probably stopped off for a beer with his friend. He has a few beers with his friend after work. They liked him before, but now they want me to stop seeing him. They are also worried about me riding in his car because they think he may be drinking and driving. Sure, he drinks a few beers daily, but I have never seen him drunk. He is a safe driver, even after a few beers. How can I convince my parents that drinking a few beers is no big deal and that Jose is a good guy? — Selena, El Paso, Texas SELENA: Jose has a serious drinking problem. If he doesn’t change his drinking habit, chances are good that his alcoholic intake will increase in time. Presently, it’s not the amount of beer consumed daily, it’s the fact that he drinks every day. Even one alcoholic drink can affect the driver’s ability to drive safely. Even though he might not be legally drunk, drinking two beers definitely puts him at risk as a driver. I’m sorry that I can’t tell you what to do to convince your parents that drinking two beers is no big deal because it is. Besides, he is breaking the law as an underage drinker. Texas El Paso is an excellent university, and since you have been accepted, plan on furthering your education there. DR. WALLACE: I’m going to graduate from high school soon, and I’m proud to say I’ll have a strong B average. My exboyfriend will also be in a cap and gown and will receive the identical diploma, but he will be lucky if he has maintained a C average. This doesn’t seem fair to me. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to put a student’s grade point average on the diploma? That way, when graduates show off their diploma, the viewer will be able to see exactly what kind of a student he or she was. Do you like this idea? — Kelly, Lincoln, Neb. KELLY: A grade-point average isn’t on a diploma. The diploma is only a piece of paper informing all viewers that the recipient satisfied certain minimum requirements. It’s the graduate’s transcript that gives the true indication of the graduate’s scholastic abilities because all class grades and participation in extra-curricular activities are listed. Colleges and future employers are extremely interested in evaluating high school transcripts.

HOROSCOPE Friday, June 29, 2012 Leaping from one project to another could turn out to be a fruitless waste of time in the year ahead, so try to get a handle on things. Take plenty of time to establish a strong foundation in any enterprise that you become involved in. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — In order to gratify a personal ambition, you might unthinkingly do something at the expense of another. Consider all of the ramifications before taking action. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Most of the time you’ll be very pragmatic, but some little thing you take for granted could be your downfall, causing you an unexpected loss. Be detail-conscious at all times. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — When it comes to your commercial dealings, keep your guard up constantly. If you’re naive, there’s a chance you could link up with someone who isn’t as ethical as you are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Regardless of their ingenuity, if your ideas are not implemented properly they won’t produce the results you want. Make their execution as bright as your initial thinking. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Pay particular attention to details, especially if you are working on a group endeavor in which many folks have a finger. If someone makes a mistake, another will compound it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — It would be best not to volunteer to help someone with a project about which you know nothing. You might be the one who is held accountable if anything goes wrong. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — In order to placate your mate, you might agree to do something that goes against your better judgment. You would be far better off hammering out an agreement that you can both live with. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Just in case something disruptive should occur that interrupts your work, it would be better for you to focus on getting essential tasks done early in the day. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You can be a pretty good manager of your funds when you put your mind to it. However, it’ll be up to you to prevent your whimsical impulses from gaining the upper hand. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Nothing good will come of you and a colleague pulling in opposite directions. You’ll have to first straighten out your differences before you can work together. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Regardless of how juicy the news, you should check it out before passing it on as gospel. You could wrongly ruin someone’s reputation. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — It’s good to be enthusiastic about something that you want, but check out its price first before you make a financial commitment. It might be much cheaper somewhere else.

Cavs draft Waiters Kentucky duo first two players taken Thursday BY ASSOCIATED PRESS The two players most often linked to the Cavaliers prior to the NBA draft — KenMichael Kiddtucky’s Gilchrist and Florida’s Bradley Beal — were off the board when Cleveland’s turn at No. 4 overall arrived Thursday night. The Cavs then went with the player whose stock seemed to rise faster than anyone’s in the week leading up to the draft, former Syracuse guard Dion Waiters. The Cavaliers took Waiters with their first of four selections Thursday, pairing the 6foot-4 shooting guard with 2012 Rookie of the Year Kyrie Irving for what the team hopes will be a dynamic backcourt. Waiters was a reserve in two years at Syracuse and was rumored to have maturity issues early in his career. As a freshman in 2010-11, he averaged 6.6 points in 16.3 minutes per game. He shot 41.1 percent from the field. He was the Orange’s second-leading scorer as a sophomore, with norms of 12.6 points, 2.5 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 24.1 minutes. He shot 47.6 percent from the floor. “Going into college, I had everything my way,” Waiters said during ESPN’s broadcast of the draft. “I went there as a boy, and I left as a man.” The Cavs have three picks remaining Thursday — Nos. 24, 33 and 34. No one-and-done for Kentucky’s kids in the NBA draft. The Wildcats instead became the first school to go 1-2.

KENTUCKY'S ANTHONY Davis smiles while talking about his unibrow as he answers questions from reporters after being drafted No. 1 overall by the New Orleans Hornets during the NBA basketball draft Thursday in Newark, N.J. After the New Orleans Hornets selected Kentucky forward Anthony Davis with the No. 1 pick Thursday, Charlotte followed by taking fellow freshman Michael KiddGilchrist. The Wildcats are the first school to have the top two picks, part of what they hoped would be perhaps five or even six players selected in the first round. John Calipari has been criticized for taking “one-anddone” players — they stay the required one year and leave — but he looked thrilled hugging his two stars. “It’s crazy,” Davis said. “Michael is a great player. We have two down and four more to go. Hopefully all of them will go in the first round.” Davis will begin his pro career in the same city where he ended it with a national title. College basketball’s player of the year as a freshman was
the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four despite shooting just 1 for 10 from the field in the championship game, grabbing 16 rebounds and blocking six shots in the victory over Kansas. Davis slipped on a blue and purple Hornets hat above a conservative gray suit that took no attention away from basketball’s most famous eyebrow. Davis even attempted to capitalize on the attention his unibrow gets, trademarking “Fear The Brow” and “Raise The Brow” earlier this month. On the floor, Davis has the agility of a guard — and he was one only a few years ago. The 6-foot-10 Davis averaged 14.2 points, 10.4 rebounds and 4.7 blocks, becoming a dominant defender after growing 7 inches from the start of his junior year of high school.

MICHAEL PHELPS swims in the men's 200-meter butterfly semifinal at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials Wednesday in Omaha, Neb. Phelps won the event.
Phelps cruises in 200 fly OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — After a couple of epic duels with his biggest rival, Michael Phelps made this one look easy. Phelps stayed on course to swim eight events at the London Games, pulling away for a dominating win in the 200meter butterfly at the U.S. Olympic trials on Thursday night. Phelps has locked up three individual events for London and he’s got two more to go in Omaha. Combined with a likely spot on all three relays, the 26-year-old from Baltimore — already the winningest Olympian ever —would have a chance to duplicate his record from the Beijing Games if he doesn’t stumble over the last four days of the trials.
“The last 25 meters are pretty painful,” Phelps said. “I just wanted to get to the wall and secure another spot on the team.” Davis Tarwater led at the first and second turns, but there was never any doubt about Phelps pulling ahead in his signature stroke. He surged to the front on the third leg, his body slinking through the water like a dolphin, and was a body-length ahead of the field when he touched in 1 minute, 53.65 seconds. The real race was for second place ‚Äî and another spot on the Olympic team. Tyler Clary, who lost out to Phelps in the 400 individual medley, rallied from behind for a time of 1:55.12, edging Bouiller’s touch of 1:55.79.
Clary pumped his right fist and pounded the water when he saw a “2’’ beside his name on the scoreboard. When Phelps got out of the water, he walked side-by-side with Clary along the deck, patting him on the back of the head. Phelps had a much easier time than his first two events at Omaha, when he was going against Ryan Lochte. Phelps edged out Lochte in the 200 free after losing to him in the 400 individual medley (but still finishing second, earning an Olympic spot). Phelps isn’t the only one building a busy Olympic schedule. His training partner, Allison Schmitt, was equally dominating in the 200 free. She broke her own American record with a time of 1:54.40.
Albers loses in semifinals of women’s amateur DUBLIN — The tournament run of Fort Loramie's Brooke Albers came to an end on a hot morning Thursday at the Riviera Golf Club in Dublin, just outside of
Columbus. Albers won her first two matches in first flight in the Women's Ohio Amateur, but lost 3-and-2 in the semifinals Thursday morning to Natalie
Pardi of Columbus. Pardi then lost 2-and-1 in the championship match. Albers is a member of the women's golf team at the University of Findlay.

LUKAS ROSOL of the Czech Republic reacts after defeating Rafael Nadal of Spain during a second round men's singles match at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon, England Thursday.
Nadal stunned at Wimbledon WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Rafael Nadal bumped into his unknown and unheralded opponent as they headed to a break between games. Perhaps it was incidental contact. At the previous changeover, Nadal stood and barked at the chair umpire, complaining about being distracted by 100th-ranked Lukas Rosol while serving. Later, Nadal shook his head and frowned when a Wimbledon official explained that, with light fading and the second-round match heading to a fifth set, they’d need a 45-minute break to close the retractable roof and turn on the lights at Centre Court. Of all the things that rattled Nadal on Thursday evening, the most significant was Rosol’s gutsy game — his 22 aces, violent groundstrokes and shot-punctuating staredowns. Put it together and Rosol, making his debut at the All England Club, overpowered 11-time Grand Slam champion Nadal 6-7 (9), 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4, one of the most astonishing results in tennis history. “That’s (what) happens when you play against a player who is able to hit the ball very hard, hit the ball without thinking and feeling the pressure,” the secondseeded Nadal said. “At the end, when the opponent wants to play like he wanted to play in the fifth (set), you are in his hands, no? Everything was going right for him.” It’s the first time since 2005 that Nadal lost in the second round at any major tournament. It also ends two streaks for the Spaniard: He reached the final at the previous five Grand Slams, and also reached the final the last five times he entered Wimbledon, winning the grass-court tournament in 2008 and 2010. “He played a good match,” Rosol said, “but I think I was better today.” Absolutely true. Actually, seven-time French Open champion Nadal came oh-so-close to a straightset exit. He barely avoided losing the opener, forced to erase three set points before taking it in the tiebreaker when Rosol plopped a gimme forehand into the net. Rosol took the next two sets, pounding serves, returning well and swinging away from the baseline. It was an aggressive approach, as though Rosol wanted to outmuscle the ultimate on-court
bully, right down to imitating the way Nadal sprints back to baseline after the changeovers. Even Rosol considered it stunning he was able to stay close, much less win. Asked afterward what his expectations had been, Rosol replied: “Just to play three good sets, you know. Just don’t lose 6-0, 6-1, 6-1.” They’re both 26 years old, yet Nadal entered the day with 583 career match wins, and Rosol 19. Nadal owns 50 titles, Rosol zero. In 178 prior Grand Slam matches, Nadal never had lost to a foe ranked 70th or worse. In five previous visits to Wimbledon, Rosol lost every time in the first round of qualifying — not even the main event. Qualifying. This is only the Czech player’s second career tour-level event on grass; the first was two weeks ago. He thought Nadal was trying to throw him off in the third set with a bit of gamesmanship. First, after Rosol broke to go ahead 2-1, Nadal complained to the chair umpire about something his foe was doing to bother him. “So do you think that’s fair?” Nadal asked. “Let me know.” At the following changeover, they crossed paths on the way to their seats, and Nadal offered a body-check. “He wanted to take my concentration. ... I knew that he will try something,” said Rosol, who has a tribal tattoo covering his entire left calf, and wore green laces on one shoe, white laces on the other. “I was surprised that he can do it on the Centre Court, Wimbledon, you know. It’s, like, something wrong.” Nothing fazed Rosol, especially down the stretch. Never showing a hint of nerves or inexperience, he was the one who seized control from the get-go when they resumed play after a taking a break while the roof was shifted into place. Nadal didn’t like the long delay one bit. “Completely new stadium, with new roof, so the normal thing is cover the roof in 5-10 minutes,” Nadal said. When they came back out, Rosol immediately broke for a 1-0 lead, swatting a forehand passing shot that Nadal volleyed into the net. And then he held for 2-0, thanks to a trio of groundstroke winners and a service winner. As it turned out, that was that.

SPORTS IN BRIEF Italy beats Germany 2-1 Former Knick Cummings dies to reach Euro 2012 final WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Mario Balotelli flexed his muscles in more ways than one. The 21-year-old striker quieted his of critics by leading Italy to an unexpected spot in the European Championship final, scoring twice in the first half in a 2-1 victory over Germany on Thursday night. After his second goal, Balotelli stripped off his jersey and flexed his muscles in a defiant pose — even if that meant an automatic yellow card. “This is the greatest night of my life, but I hope Sunday is going to be even better,” Balotelli said, looking ahead to the final against defending champion Spain. “In the opening matches I had a lot of chances, and I wasn’t able to finish them. But In football you also need luck.” In the 20th minute, Balotelli had no trouble getting past Holger Badstuber to head in a pinpoint cross from Antonio Cassano. Then in the 36th, Balotelli received the ball behind the defense and blasted a long shot into the top right corner. With three goals, Balotelli is tied for the tournament lead. After the match, Italy coach Cesare Prandelli was asked if this was the best match of Balotelli’s career. “Balotelli’s career has just started,” Prandelli said. Germany’s winless streak against Italy in major tournaments reached eight matches. The Germans failed to trouble Italy for much of
NEW YORK (AP) — Pat Cummings, who played with five NBA teams over a 12-year career after being selected Metro Conference Player of the Year at Cincinnati, was found dead in a New York apartment, according to police. He was 55. The 6-foot-9 Cummings, a native of Johnstown, Pa., was found Tuesday afternoon, police said Wednesday. They said the cause of death was to be determined but foul play wasn't suspected. Cummings A two-time all-conference selection, Cummings averaged 17.1 points and 8.3 rebounds during his four seasons with the Bearcats (1975-76, 1978-79). He was drafted by Milwaukee in the third round and was traded to Dallas in 1982. He signed with the New York Knicks as a free agent in 1984 and also played for Miami and Utah. He averaged 9.6 points and 5.6 rebounds over his career with his first two seasons in New York his best when he averaged 15.8 and 15.7 points.

Dykstra faces up to 20 years in federal prison. It's not immediately known when his next court date will be. Dykstra, who bought a mansion once owned by hockey star Wayne Gretzky, filed for bankruptcy three years ago.

MIAMI (AP) — Dwyane Wade needs surgery on his ailing left knee and will not play in next month's London Olympics. The Miami Heat guard called USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo and Olympic coach Mike Krzyzewski on Thursday to break the news, which was not totally unexpected after Wade played through pain in the postseason. He appeared in all 23 Heat playoff games despite the knee problems, averaging 22.6 points during Miami's five-game win over Oklahoma City in the NBA Finals.
