Freight train derails, ethanol explodes BY MITCH STACY Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — Exploding freight cars full of ethanol made for a dramatic early morning scene in Ohio’s capital on Wednesday, but officials said the train derailment that led to a hurried evacuation of an urban neighborhood could have been much worse. The National Transportation Safety Board dispatched a 10-person team to investigate the derailment on the Norfolk Southern Corp. tracks, which led to spectacular explosions and the burning of three tank cars each carrying 30,000 gallons of ethanol. Nobody aboard the train was injured. Officials said they don’t know yet what caused the accident, which occurred at around 2 a.m. in an industrial area near Interstate 71, north of downtown. The explosions were felt for blocks and sent flames shooting high in the air. Two people were injured while walking on the tracks to investigate when a second explosion occurred. Officials said they went to the hospital themselves with minor injuries. Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman, who later Wednesday visited a temporary Red Cross shelter set up for evacuees, said the accident could have been worse if it had occurred in an area where more people lived. “I’m grateful, in one respect as well, that this did not occur in a more populated area near more residents,” he said. “It very well could have. A mile up or a mile south. North or south, east or west. It could have been tragic in other ways as well.” See TRAIN/Page 20
Officials: No open burning BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER jbumgarner@sdnccg.com

THIS AERIAL photograph shows a derailed freight train on Wednesday in Columbus. Part of the freight train carrying ethanol derailed and caught fire early Wednesday, shooting flames skyward into the darkness and prompting the evacuation of a mile-wide area as firefighters and hazardous materials crews monitored the blaze.
With abnormally dry weather conditions, Shelby County is experiencing moderate drought conditions and the fire chiefs throughout the county as well as Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart are urging residents to refrain from all types of open burning until further notice. According to the National Weather Service, the rain deficit is approximately 8 inches and through this week, temperatures are expected to stay in the 80s. There is a chance for thunderstorms on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The open burn advisory is effective immediately because of the lack of rain and hot temperatures which has created an increased fire risk. This advisory applies to all forms of outside burning, which includes cooking over an open fire, such as a campfire. According to Deputy Chief Ron Wolf with Sidney Fire and Emergency Services, an extended period of significant rainfall and cooler temperatures is needed to alleviate this risk. See BURNING/Page 20
Water advisory issued in village of New Bremen NEW BREMEN — The village of New Bremen announced on Wednesday an immediate water use advisory for drinking water. Mayor Jeff Pape announces that residents are urged to curtail water use by avoiding unnecessary usage such as watering lawns, washing cars or running ornamental fountains. “This is a very delicate sit-
uation that could easily turn into an emergency,” said Pape. “Our concern is that if any of our wells are depleted, it could take days or weeks to recharge them and we would have an emergency. We hope that residents fully observe these voluntary measures which should help avoid mandatory restrictions.” See WATER/Page 20
56,427 tickets sold for concert FORT LORAMIE — Despite the record heat, Country Concert saw an increase in ticket sales. There were 56,427 tickets sold for the three-day event which is up from last year’s total of 44,100 tickets. “We sell a lot of tickets in advance,” said Jim Prenger, promotions director. “I think sales were up because our lineup this year was just so popular.”
The lineup included Blake Shelton, the Zac Brown Band, Luke Bryan and Eric Church. According to Prenger, “the heat was pretty tolerable by the time the major acts started,” which was each night at 8. “It seems like the audience was very careful with staying hydrated with water,” said Prenger. “Just a few more medical transports than last year. The people really took care of themselves.”

Dear Sidney Community,
The storm we all experienced last week was undoubtedly a difficult experience for our entire community. Now that the power is back on and the clean-up underway, I hope your life is back to normal as well. At Marco’s we were lucky to keep the power on during the storm and fortunately had enough food on hand to handle the extraordinary amount of orders we received. Demand for Marco’s Pizza was way beyond what we normally experience; understandable, as our community had limited options because of the storm. Unfortunately our service/delivery times that day were below our normal standards, as we struggled to keep up with the sheer volume of orders. As a football player years ago at Ohio State University under the great Woody Hayes, I learned many lessons that still hold up today. One was when you don’t perform up to your own standards, there is only one thing to do, and that is get out there and try again until you do it right.
At Marco’s Pizza we believe that, “Customer delight is about exceeding expectations, not merely satisfying them.” I strive to attain customer delight with the same drive I used to apply to football. Our service times fell short during the storm and more than anything else I want to get back out there and try again to truly “delight” you.
I want you to know we appreciate your business, and would also appreciate another chance to prove to you that normally our standards for service and delivery are equal to the quality of our authentic Italian cuisine.
Please give us another try - our intent is to “delight” you with our product and service, and we look forward to proving that to you.
Marco’s Pizza owner and operator, Dan Cutillo

Village to seek bids for work NEW BREMEN — New Bremen Village Council, during its second June meeting, suspended the three-reading rule to adopt a resolution authorizing Wayne York, village administrator, to seek bids for a Herman Street substation equipment upgrade. The engineering estimate for the project is $426,000. Also suspending the rule, council adopted a resolution to seek bids for the Franklin/Main streets (alley) sanitary sewer project. Financial assistance in the form of a $98,923, zero-interest loan has been approved by the Ohio Public Works Commission. A second reading was given an ordinance excluding A-1 agriculture zone real estate from the grass height requirement in Section 93.5 of the zoning code. After a council member’s motion to suspend the rule was defeated, second reading was given an ordinance authorizing the rezoning of 201 N. Main St. from R-2 to C-1 as recommended by the Planning Commission. A public hearing will be held at the
July meeting. A resolution to purchase liability and property insurance from Public Entity Pool (PEP) at a cost of $95,333 was adopted following a motion to suspend the rule. Governing factors in remaining with PEP were additional costs for tail coverage with ENC, replacement of full emergency equipment versus stated values, reserve fund of $20,000 would be lost without 60-day written notice, earthquake difference 10 percent versus $25,000 and the fact that EMC has only two public accounts in Ohio. Eric Lloyd, American Municipal Power, introduced local scholarship winners Jena Ahlers and Lindsey Pape to council. Ahlers received the Lyle B. Wright Scholarship and Pape was awarded the Richard H. Gorsuch Scholarship. Mayor Jeff Pape updated council on incomplete ordinances and resolutions, and York discussed various projects within the village. Village expenditures totaling $1,038,107.13 were approved by council.
RR crossing to get lights, gates The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) Wednesday approved construction authorization from the Ohio Rail Development Commission directing CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern Railway (NS) to install flashing lights and gates at highway-rail grade crossings in five counties, including Shelby County. In Shelby County, the flashing lights and gates will be installed on Johnston-Slagle Road. The other crossings are in Fairfield, Henry, Logan and Preble counties. The railroads will be responsible for completing construction of the upgrades by April 11, 2013. Funding for the projects will be provided by federal funds. To increase public safety during the construction of the projects, the PUCO will assist the local governments with the cost of improvements such as rumble strips, illumination, improved signage or other safety enhancements at the project locations. Funding for the improvements will come from the State Grade Crossing Safety Fund and will not exceed $5,000. The PUCO is responsible for evaluating Ohio’s public grade crossings to determine the need for installing active warning devices. Over the past decade, the annual number of train-motor vehicle crashes in Ohio has decreased significantly, from 123 in 2001 to 64 in 2011. The Ohio Rail Hotline, at (866) 814-RAIL (7245), provides Ohioans with a toll-free resource for all railroad crossing questions. For more information regarding these crossings, access the Ohio railroad information system website at http://gradecrossings.puco.ohio.gov/.

Ohio court hears challenge to tax on gasoline COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court has heard arguments from builders, contractors and paving companies that a tax on motor fuel sales unconstitutionally diverts $140 million a year from road and bridge repair. An excavating company alleges in a lawsuit that reached the court Wednesday that the state constitution bars money raised from the sale of fuel being used on anything but highway upkeep. At issue is a 2005 rewrite of Ohio’s tax code that taxes a wide variety of business activity, not just a company’s revenue. The state argues that the tax is not on gasoline itself but on companies that make money selling fuel. The debate does not involve the 28-cent state gasoline tax whose revenues are distributed automatically to the state, counties and local governments for road work.

running Democratic mate, said he has been spending a lot of time this year in his native Appalachian region of Ohio, and thinks “the people are supportive of the president.” He said there is a growing narrative about Romney’s use of offshore bank accounts and his reluctance to release financial personal records. “I think certain images or attitudes about a candidate become fixed in the minds of voters,” Strickland said. “In my judgment, this is potentially very detrimental to him in terms of an attitude. It’s a long way from Steubenville (in eastern Ohio) to the Cayman Islands or to Switzerland.” Romney aides have called such criticisms efforts to distract attention from the rough economy with character assaults.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports police say they shot and killed the dog because it reacted aggressively to firefighters who were trying to reach the man early Wednesday. Police believe the attack occurred around 2 a.m. No other details were available immediately. Ohio has a new law aimed at cracking down on “vicious,” ”dangerous” and other aggressive dogs.
UPPER VALLEY
CINCINNATI (AP) — Former Ohio Democratic Gov. Ted Strickl a n d never expected to see himself so much in campaign advertising this Strickland year — especially in a commercial for Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney. The 2012 Barack Obama campaign cochairman can be seen nodding agreement, standing behind thencandidate Hillary Clinton in 2008 as she criticizes Obama in Cincinnati for mailings she said distorted her record, concluding: “So shame on you, Barack Obama!”
Romney ad The claims Obama uses the same tactics against Romney. The commercial has been running frequently for nearly two weeks in Ohio, among six battleground states where it’s aired. Strickland said Wednesday the ad takes a moment from “a very heated” point in the 2008 primary campaign and it’s outdated because of Clinton’s subsequent support for Obama and her service as his secretary of state. “It think it’s a little retro at this point, the number of years ago,” Strickland told The Associated Press. “People have seen them working together on the same team.” He added with a laugh that the commercial footage cuts the top of his head off so he might not be widely recognized.

TODAY IN HISTORY
GOP House votes to kill health law
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Thursday, July 12, the 194th day of 2012. There are 172 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 12, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed a bill passed by Congress authorizing the Medal of Honor. On this date: ■ In 1543, England’s King Henry VIII married his sixth and last wife, Catherine Parr. ■ In 1690, forces led by William of Orange defeated the army of James II at the Battle of the Boyne in Ireland. ■ In 1812, U.S. forces led by Gen. William Hull invaded Canada during the War of 1812 against Britain. (However, Hull retreated shortly thereafter to Detroit.) ■ In 1909, the House of Representatives joined the Senate in passing the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, allowing for a federal income tax, and submitted it to the states. (It was declared ratified in February 1913.) ■ In 1912, the silent film “Queen Elizabeth,” starring Sarah Bernhardt, opened in New York. ■ In 1948, the Democratic national convention, which nominated President Harry S. Truman for a second term of office, opened in Philadelphia. ■ In 1962, The Rolling Stones played their firstever gig at The Marquee in London. ■ In 1977, President Jimmy Carter defended Supreme Court limits on government payments for poor women’s abortions, saying, “There are many things in life that are not fair.” ■ In 1984, Democratic presidential candidate Walter F. Mondale announced he’d chosen U.S. Rep. Geraldine A. Ferraro of New York to be his running-mate; Ferraro was the first woman to run for vice president on a major-party ticket. ■ In 1988, Democratic presidential candidate Michael S. Dukakis tapped Senator Lloyd Bentsen of Texas as his running-mate. ■ In 1991, a Japanese professor (Hitoshi Igarashi) who had translated Salman Rushdie’s “The Satanic Verses” was found stabbed to death, nine days after the novel’s Italian translator was attacked in Milan. ■ In 2001, Abner Louima, the Haitian immigrant tortured in a New York City police station, agreed to an $8.7 million settlement with the city and its police union.

Racoons attack woman LAKEWOOD, Wash. (AP) — A Washington state woman says she was attacked and bitten by raccoons after her dog chased several of the animals up a tree. Michaela Lee had just finished jogging in Lakewood’s Fort Steilacoom Park on Monday when her dog got loose. When she went to grab the dog’s leash, several other raccoons started to scratch her legs, chased her for about 75 feet, knocked her down and bit her. Neighbor Michael Parks tells The News Tribune he heard Lee screaming and saw her on the ground. He called 911. Two other neighbors also went to help. Lee says her American dingo dog began barking and helped drive the raccoons off. The 28-year-old Lee was treated for about 16 puncture wounds and had numerous scratches.

IN THIS July 3, 2008 file photo, Nawaf Fares (center) governor of the Quneitra, Syria, briefs a U.N. delegation visiting the city of Quneitra in the Golan Heights to investigate Israeli practices in occupied Arab lands. Fares, who was named Syria’s ambassador to Iraq in September 2008, has defected and will seek asylum in Turkey, a Syrian opposition figure said Wednesday.
Ambassador defects ISTANBUL (AP) — The Syrian ambassador to Iraq has defected, denouncing President Bashar Assad in a TV statement Wednesday, becoming the most senior diplomat to abandon the regime during a bloody 16-month uprising. Nawaf Fares, a former provincial governor, is the second prominent Syrian to break with the regime in less than a week. Brig. Gen. Manaf Tlass, an Assad confidant and son of a former defense minister, fled Syria last week, buoying Western powers and anti-regime activists, who expressed hope that other high-ranking defections would follow. The high-level defections could be a sign that Assad’s tightly wrapped regime is unraveling, but it was too early to be certain. There have been thousands of defections in the past, mostly low-level army conscripts, but until now no one as senior as the general and the ambassador had fled. In a statement broadcast on the Arabic satellite channel AlJazeera, Fares said he was resigning and joining the opposition. Wearing a dark suit and reading from a prepared text in what appeared to be a large office, Fares harshly criticized Assad. “I’m announcing from this moment on that I’m siding with the revolution in Syria,” he said, according to the AlJazeera translation into English. He called on all Syrians to
abandon Assad. “Where is the honor in killing your countrymen? Where is the national allegiance? The nation is all the people, not one person in particular,” he said. “The allegiance is to the people, not to a dictator who kills his people.” It was not known where or when Fares recorded the statement. Appointed to the Baghdad post four years ago, Fares was the first Syrian ambassador to Iraq in 26 years. Like Tlass, he is a member of the privileged Sunni elite in a regime dominated by Assad’s minority Alawite sect. Khaled Khoja, a member of the opposition Syrian National Council who is based in Istanbul, said Fares was “moving toward Turkey.” Asked for details, Khoja said the information came from his own sources on the ground in Iraq. There was no immediate comment from either Iraq or Syria. An operator who answered the phone at the Syrian Embassy in Baghdad said there was nobody at the embassy. When asked if the ambassador is currently in Iraq, the operator said he did not know. White House spokesman Jay Carney said the U.S. had no confirmation of the defection as of Wednesday afternoon. But he said recent high-level defections from the Assad regime were “a welcome development.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — Pressing an election-year point, Republicans pushed yet another bill through the House on Wednesday to repeal the nation’s two-year-old health care law, a maneuver that forced Democrats to choose between President Barack Obama’s signature domestic achievement and a public that is persistently skeptical of its value. The vote was 244-185, with five Democratic defectors siding with Republicans. By Republican count, the vote marked the 33rd time in 18 months that the tea partyinfused GOP majority has tried to eliminate, defund or otherwise scale back the program — opponents scornfully call it “Obamacare” — since the GOP took control of the House. Repeal this year by Congress is doomed, since the Democratic-controlled Senate will never agree. But Illinois Rep. Peter Roskam said before joining other Republicans in Wednesday’s House vote: “Here’s the good news. The voters get the last word in November. Stay tuned.” Nor was the vote in the House the only act of political theater during the day as campaign concerns increas-
ingly crowded out bipartisan attempts at law-making in the Capitol. One day after a campaigning Obama called on Congress to pass his proposal to extend tax cuts on all but the highest wage earners, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky offered to allow an immediate vote. “I can’t see why Democrats wouldn’t want to give him the chance” to sign the bill, he said. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., countered by blocking an immediate vote. “We’ll get to the tax issues. That way we’ll be able to talk in more detail about Governor Romney’s taxes,” he said in a reference to Democratic campaign attacks on the GOP presidential candidate’s overseas investment, the relatively low rate of income tax he is required to pay and his refusal thus far to release personal tax returns dating before 2010. The health care debate roiled the campaign for the White House as well as Congress. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney drew boos from his largely black audience at the NAACP convention when he vowed to wipe out Obama’s overhaul.
Lawyer: Man denies enslaving wife W.Va. MORGANTOWN, (AP) — While her husband returned a rototiller to a West Virginia rental shop, a limping woman sneaked into another part of the building seeking help. Soon, she was at a shelter with a horrifying tale: She had been held hostage for the better part of a decade — beaten, burned and even shackled during childbirth. Investigators have 45 photographs showing burns on her back and breasts from irons and frying pans, and scars on her wrists and ankles. Now her husband is in jail and authorities are investigating what Jackson County Chief Sheriff’s Deputy Tony Boggs called one of the most terrible cases he’s seen. “This appears to go beyond abuse to what I would consider torture,” he said Wednesday. Peter Lizon, 37, was in jail on $300,000 bond. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Friday on a malicious wounding charge.
The criminal complaint says 43-year-old Stephanie Lizon told another woman at a Parkersburg shelter that her husband smashed her foot with a piece of farm equipment, among other things. But Shawn Bayliss, Peter Lizon’s attorney, said the allegations are “the fabrication of a fertile imagination or a feeble mind, one of the two.” “The alleged victim didn’t make these accusations. It was a third party,” Bayliss said. ” … Stephanie would say this story is absolutely untrue, and the charges levied against her husband are blatantly false.” He compared it to the childhood game of “telephone,” where something whispered from one person to another ultimately bears no resemblance to reality. “This is a situation where a person has taken a nugget of information, taken an acorn and tried to turn it into a tree,” he said. “And the tree won’t support this story.”
9/11 most memorable TV moment NEW YORK (AP) — The Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attack is by far the most memorable moment shared by television viewers during the past 50 years, a study released on Wednesday concluded. The only thing that came close was President John F. Kennedy’s assassination and its aftermath in 1963, but that was only for the people aged 55 and over who experienced those events as they happened instead of replayed as an historical artifact. Sony Electronics and the Nielsen television research company collaborated on the survey. They ranked TV moments for their impact not just by asking people if they remembered watching them, but if they recalled where they watched it, who they were with and whether they talked to other people about what they had seen. By that measure, the Sept.
11 tragedy was nearly twice as impactful as the secondranked moment, which was the coverage of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Minutes after the first airplane struck New York’s World Trade Center on a late summer morning, television networks began covering the events continuously and stayed with them for days. The other biggest TV events, in order, were the 1995 verdict in O.J. Simpson’s murder trial, the Challenger space shuttle explosion in 1986 and the death of Osama bin Laden last year, the survey found. Sony was interested in the study for clues on consumer interests and behaviors and found “that television is really the grandmother of all the social devices,” said Brian Siegel, vice president of television business for the company. Going into the study, Siegel
said he had anticipated that entertainment events like the final episode of “M-A-S-H” (ranked No. 42), the Beatles’ appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” (No. 43) and the “Who shot J.R.?” episode of “Dallas” (No. 44) would rank higher. Instead, television coverage of news events made the biggest difference in viewers’ lives. The Super Bowl is annually the most-watched TV event, with this year’s game between the New York Giants and New England Patriots setting a record with 111 million viewers. The memories don’t seem to linger, however: the top-ranked Super Bowl Sunday event in Sony’s study came in 2004 and had nothing to do with football. It was Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction (No. 26). Men and women agreed on the three most impactful television events — Sept. 11, Kat-
rina and Simpson. After that, some of the interests diverged. For example, women ranked the 1997 funeral of Princess Diana as the fourth most memorable event, while men put that at No. 23. Women ranked last year’s death of Whitney Houston at No. 5, with men judging it No. 21. Similarly, the 2003 bombing of Baghdad at the start of the Iraq War was seen as the No. 14 most impactful moment by men, and No. 37 among women. Men were also far more struck by boxer Mike Tyson biting off a piece of Evander Holyfield’s ear. The passage of time has also diluted some moments once thought as unforgettable, simply because succeeding generations have no personal memory of them. Man’s first moon landing in 1969 ranked No. 21.

CELERY TOPS Dear Heloise: Your comment on celery tops (Heloise here: previous column on eating the leaves) prompted me to write to you, as this is one of my pet peeves! Most grocery stores cut all the tops off celery. I’d like to go to their produce people and ask for those leaves! Besides salads and seasonings, they are wonderful in soups. I like to saute celery, with onions, before putting it in a casserole or creamy vegetable soup. It certainly adds a lot of flavor to most foods, so please tell those grocers to leave more of the tops on celery stalks! — Bonnie G. in South Dakota SAVING RINDS Dear Heloise: When I use oranges (and other citrus), I save the rinds.

On behalf of all the employees and the entire community, hospital please accept my gratitude for your gift of dedicated voluntary service to Wilson Memorial and the community we serve.” Dan Bensman, hospital board of trustees chairman, and Dr. Robert McDevitt, chief of medical staff, also thanked the auxilians for their service.

church people like us. Just look at the sound financial support and the generous outreach to needy and hurting people because of us. Just look at the level of participation because of we show up on Sunday! Woody Allen says, “95 percent of success is just showing up.” Well, even in today’s world when there are probably several places we could be, we show up! I think of the single mother of five who, at her parish, was apologizing to the pastor because it was ministry sign-up Sunday, and she didn’t sign up for anything. She said, “I am sorry. Maybe when the kids are raised and away in college, I will have the time and energy to do some church ministry.” And he said, “Wait a minute! Just by raising your children and just by surviving, you are doing one of the most important ministries in the world. That’s church ministry. That’s church!”
Passing on faith We are always, just because of who we are, passing on faith, passing on values. Sometimes it is very casual and unnoticed and we forget about it. But it makes an impact on people’s lives, way down the line. I remember, about 47 years ago, and it still has its impact on me. … I remember my mother reminding us to brush our teeth and say our prayers before going to bed. … And I remember I was in the car, my older brother driving, I made fun of an old guy in the car ahead of us going so slow, and my brother said to me, “What if that was grandpa? Would you like someone to make fun of him?” What we do as church and what we are as Americans we do so very well, all of us, passing on life, passing on values, raising questions about what is not right and what needs to be changed and what needs
to be improved, and at the same time, celebrating and giving thanks for all that is good and, each day, just doing the best we can. We just do the best we can. Sometimes the impact it has down the road is amazing. One of the most impressive stories for me to come out of Iraq, came out of that horrible prison camp with its torture and abuse. That was done in our name, but there was another young soldier there who acted quite differently and more genuinely in our name. He refused to participate. He insisted on reporting the abuse, and he was just a teenager, just a kid. When asked why he didn’t participate like the others, he explained simply, “My parents never brought me up that way.” As simple and as powerful as that!
Do three things As an American people and as Christians we need to do three things. We need to appreciate and celebrate the values and the virtues of our land and of our church. That’s the first thing. The second thing is we need to do what we can (it may be little but it has to be real) to oppose policies and practices that fall short of what we are called to be as a free people and as a church. And, finally, we need to rejoice in and celebrate ourselves. We are the people who hang in there. We are the people who pass on our values. We are the people who participate in the life of our land and the life of our church. Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.” Amen The writer is the pastor of St. Michael Parish, Fort Loramie, and Sts. Peter and Paul Parish, Newport.
second Ultimate Frisbee event For the second consecutive year, the seminarians of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati are traveling the archdiocese looking for a little friendly competition on the Ultimate Frisbee field. Last summer, they competed against nearly 120 teens and young adults in their three-stop tour. They look to do the same again this year as they use Ultimate Frisbee, a cookout, and prayer to meet and talk to teens and young adults about life and discerning God’s will. The first stop on this year’s tour will be St. Luke Parish in Beavercreek on July 20 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. The second stop will be two days later, July 22, from 6 to 9 p.m., at Holy Redeemer in New Bremen. The final stop will be on July 29 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the home of the seminarians, Mount St. Mary’s Seminary of the West in Cincinnati. Each night will start off with introductions and picking teams before kicking things off on the field of play. As the competition draws to a close, the group will come together for a cookout and camaraderie. The night will end in the chapel with evening prayer. This tour is all about having fun with men and women of any age who want to come out and play some high-energy Frisbee, organizers said. Those who don’t feel up to the physical challenge are encouraged to come and watch, too. Anybody interested in coming is asked to register by contacting their local youth minister or calling Wayne Topp at (513) 421-3131, ext. 2891 ,so that enough food can be provided for everyone.

The program will be held July 16-20 from 6 to 8 p.m. each day.

Participants will explore the marketplace shops, visit Daniel, take part in games, and dance to lively Bible songs as they discover more about Daniel’s adventures in Babylon. These experiences make God’s word come alive with new meaning for all who participate, organizers said.

Tax abatement approved for Brown Industrial expansion BOTKINS — The Botkins Village Council approved an ordinance which would allow an industrial tax abatement for Brown Industrial. Brown Industrial plans to build a 12,480-square-foot building at its existing location, 311 W. South St. Brown Industrial is planning to add three new full-time jobs over the next three years with the additional space.
Brown Industrial is a maker of aluminum and stainless steel truck bodies. The council also discussed the village’s 1967 Howe International fire truck. There were no bids for the purchase of the truck, and council members decided to scrap the vehicle. It was estimated to be valued at approximately $1,000. The council ended its meeting in executive session to discuss the purchase of real property.

Follow mom’s advice DR. WALLACE: These two girls were my t w o closest friends, b u t t h e y didn’t know e a c h other until I ’Tween introd u c e d 12 & 20 them to Dr. Robert e a c h Wallace other at a party. Soon after the party, they became best friends and started acting cool toward me. I guess the old saying that “Two’s company; three’s a crowd” is true. At school, they sometimes totally ignore me. This has caused me to become very depressed because now I don’t have any close friends. To compound the problem, I’m really shy and don’t make friends easily. What really made me realize that my exfriends have betrayed and deserted me was that I told them something about me to be held in the strictest confidence. The next day it was spread all over school, and all the kids were laughing at me. What should I do? My mom thinks that I should try to get some new friends and forget all about those two. My aunt who lives with us thinks that I should try to convince the girls to once again be my best friends. Please give me your advice. All of us are 15 years old. One girl lives next door to me. — Nameless, Denver, Colo. NAMELESS: I would take Mom’s advice, but wouldn’t do anything rash to cause friction between you and your two former friends. Be polite and talk with them when the opportunity arises, but don’t waste your time waiting for them to call and invite you back into the group. There are many fine teens who would enjoy your friendship, but you won’t find them if you sit at home feeling sorry for yourself. At school, join clubs, especially those designed to increase school spirit, and if you and a few members of the club attend a game together, invite them over afterwards for a snack. You would also enjoy being involved in civic and church groups, which would provide opportunities to meet new friends and to help others who are less fortunate. The key is to stay active and involved and you will meet many new friends! DR.
WALLACE:
When I was 16, I tried cocaine no more than half a dozen times. I was dating a guy who was using the drug, and he encouraged me to “give it a try.” I didn’t really enjoy the stuff that much, so I totally stopped using it. I guess that I was lucky because cocaine is a highly addictive drug. I am now 20 and engaged to a wonderful guy. I haven’t told him that I dabbled with drugs, and I don’t intend to unless my shorttime snorting cocaine in some way could cause any kind of birth defect on children we might have. Can you give me any information about this? —Nameless, Atlanta, Ga. NAMELESS: I contacted my medical advi-
sors and was told by a medical doctor that it is highly unlikely that your cocaine experimentation four years ago would have any ill effects on any of your children. The vast majority of birth defects are caused when drugs, including alcohol, are taken during pregnancy. Dr. Robert Wallace welcomes questions from readers.

ARLO & JANIS
HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, July 13, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good day to entertain at home or enjoy the company of family members. Discussions with a parent could be significant. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Focus on getting some errands done today. This is also a good day to study, read or write. However, postpone important decisions and don’t sign anything important. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a poor day to shop or to make important business decisions. Everything is too pie-in-the-sky and goofy. Just carry on; business as usual. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Enjoy your day today, because with the Sun in your sign, this is one of the strongest times of the year for you. In fact, opportunities and important people will easily come your way. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Play it low-key today. Keep your head down and your powder dry. (Do be aware that others might notice you today, especially bosses, parents, VIPs and the police.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Although this is a poor day to settle on an important decision, it’s a great day to ponder your choices. What are your hopes and dreams for the future? Why not mull them over? LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Make the most of today, because people see you in a favorable light right now. However, if asked to take on increased responsibilities, postpone this decision until tomorrow. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Keep discussions with partners and close friends lighthearted and easygoing today. Don’t let anyone corner you into agreeing to anything. Tell them you’ll make your decision tomorrow. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Continue with routine business at work today. This is a poor day to agree to anything important or to initiate something. Postpone important decisions until tomorrow. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) What a wonderful, creative day! You’re full of bright, original ideas, because you can think outside the box. Enjoy romance, sports and playful times with kids. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Relax at home today if you can, because you need to “hide.” Grab any chance to cocoon or enjoy the company of family and relatives. It’s a gentle (but kind of silly) day. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a lovely, playful day; however, avoid making important decisions or signing important papers. Casual socializing or reading for pleasure will delight you. YOU BORN TODAY No matter how unassuming you might appear, you actually are quite heroic. You’re resourceful, and you take advantage of opportunities that come your way. You’re willing to work your way up the ladder because you’re not a quitter. You’re also faithful to your friends. In the year ahead, set aside some time to specifically learn or study something important. (Your rewards soon will follow.)

Your blood sugar needs checking. And your periods need to be restored if they have diminished or stopped. No vitamin or herb controls this condition. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: In March of this year I had major surgery, and within 10 days I developed a blood clot. After 10 days of injections with Lovenox, I was put on Coumadin for the next six months. Will you address the food restrictions when on Coumadin and explain why they exist? — N.L ANSWER: Vitamin K
is needed by the body to generate clotting factors, blood proteins that aid in the formation of blood clots to keep us from bleeding. Coumadin prevents clotting by interfering with the action of vitamin K. Eating large quantities of vitamin K-containing foods can override the effect of Coumadin. It no longer keeps the blood thin (prevents clotting). Leafy green vegetables are rich in vitamin K. Kale, spinach, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, turnip greens, watercress, collard greens and lettuce are examples of such foods. You don’t have to worry about small amounts. You do have to pay attention to intermittent large amounts. But if you eat the same portions, even large portions, of these greens every day, you will be OK. You’ll know if you’re overdoing the vitamin K foods if your blood test shows a decline in the blood’s thinness.
July 12, 1937 The Washington Star of a recent date carried an interesting account of a former Sidney boy, Admiral Raymond Patton, director of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. The article was written as one of a series, “An American You Should Know,” by Delia Pynchon. It was sent to Mrs. J.C. Custenborder of this city, a sister of Admiral Patton, by Dean Snyder, formerly of this city and now located in Washington. ––––– Announcement of a business change at the E.W. Herbert Dairy is of wide interest to the Sidney and Shelby county public. The dairy in the future is to be known as the Shelby Farms, Inc., and will be operated by the incorporators, Harvey Stratton, former sanitarian with the Shelby County Health office: Ray Friedman; Mrs. Harvey Stratton; with Harvey Stratton as the manager. The Herbert Dairy has been one of the most active and best known in the community for more than twenty years.
Botkins department received injuries while fighting a fire Monday afternoon at the Tom Becker home, southwest of Botkins. Ronald Steinke was treated at Wilson Memorial Hospital, Sidney for cuts and bruises of the arms and legs. He was released after treatment. No cause for the fire was determined, firemen said. ––––– ANNA — Complete with air conditioning and automatic scales among other modern developments, the new Anna post office is just about ready for dedication.

July 12, 1987 Will there be Golden Glove Boxing in Sidney? Possibly, if two Sidney men have their way. Eddie Smith and Ralph Cotterman met with members of the Sidney Recreation Commission recently. Cotterman wants to establish a local chapter of the American Boxing Association. He was a Golden Gloves boxer who also competed in boxing while serving in the Marine Corps. ––––– Will local service clubs finally have female members? Kiwanis International was just ordered by the courts to admit women? However, a recent pole taken by the 50 years Sidney Noon Kiwanis July 12, 1962 members resulted in BOTKINS — A volun- members voting against teer fireman from the women by a ratio of 3 to 1.

It takes all the everyone who contributed strength you have to just get with a link to the site. The
truth is, it was difficult to accept charity and help from others, and I often found myself overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support. — TRULY THANKFUL IN NEW YORK DEAR TRULY THANKFUL: Thank YOU for your heartfelt letter and helpful suggestions. I reminded “Wants” that writing personal thank-you notes was the proper thing to do, but not all readers agreed. Their comments: DEAR ABBY: Any spare time that mom has needs to be spent with her family or taking care of herself. They are going through a very difficult time. I believe that in this day and age, the majority of people
would understand and not expect a thank-you note for their donation. So a quick email of thanks would be more than appreciated. Email is more acceptable now, especially among younger people. If this is all she has time for, it’s better than no thank-you at all. — KELLY IN WINCHESTER, VA. DEAR ABBY: To that mother of the child with cancer: Instead of writing thankyou notes to all the people who help you in the community, please spend that time with your son. Someday, return the favor with some other family’s child. Many families in our town cope with childhood cancer. We help each other. It is important that you spend every precious moment with
him, not writing cards. We all understand. — PAYING IT FORWARD IN CLYDE, OHIO DEAR ABBY: You correctly advised “Wants” that a handwritten, personal note was in order. However, having found myself in this position, I sometimes first send out a quick “blanket” email to all the donors: “Dear Friends and Family, you are great to contribute to our cause. Please forgive this email reply, but we want you to know right away how much your support means to us. You’ll be hearing from us personally as soon as possible.” This acknowledges the generosity immediately, while relieving some stress for the writer at a busy time. — WISE IN WASHINGTON

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.

REPLAY 50 years ago July 12, 1962 Miamisburg edged Sidney 32 in a game that failed to go four innings in the Dayton Class C League at Miamisburg Wednesday night. Miamisburg scored two runs in the first and the eventual winning run in the third, but three singles, including a two-run hit by Marv Gray, narrowed the count to 3-2. Beemer doubled for Sidney in the third but nothing came of it. Mike Anthony fanned one and allowed three bases on balls for Sidney.
25 years ago July 12, 1987 Ed Bohren, program director at the Sidney-Shelby County YMCA, must be out to change the old adage “you can’t get something for nothing.” In early August, Bohren, with the aid of Fairlawn head boys basketball coach Kim Rank, put together an impressive list of instructors for the first Youth Basketball Clinic. Headlining the clinic will be Fort Loramie coach Dan Hegemier, who led the Redskins to the Class A state championship last season. He will be joined by Rank, Mike Muehlfeld of Anna, Paul Bremigan of Russia and John Willoughby of Houston.

Joe Paterno, in letter, defended football program STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Joe Paterno defended his football program’s integrity in a 7-month-old letter released Wednesday, a day ahead of a report that could forever mar his legacy. In the letter, written shortly before his death and confirmed as legitimate by his family, Paterno rejected the notion that Jerry Sandusky’s sexual abuse of boys amounted to a “football scandal” or in any way tarnished the accomplishments of his players or Penn State’s reputation as a whole. The results of Penn State’s internal investigation into the Sandusky scandal are set to be released Thursday in a report that should answer many of the troubling questions swirling around one of the worst scandals in sports history. A team led by former federal judge and FBI ex-director Louis Freeh interviewed hundreds of people to learn how the university responded to
warning signs that its oncerevered former assistant football coach — a man who helped Paterno win two national titles for a university that touted “success with honor” — was a serial child molester. Sandusky was convicted on 45 criminal counts last month at a trial that included gutwrenching testimony from eight young men who said he abused them as boys. By contrast, the Freeh report, to be released online at 9 a.m. Thursday, will focus on Penn State and what it did — or didn’t do — to protect children. Eight months after Sandusky’s arrest, it remains unclear how top university officials handled reports dating back at least 14 years that Sandusky was behaving inappropriately with boys he met through his charity, bringing them on campus and forcing them into sex acts. Among those who will be
scouring the Freeh report are school officials trying to repair Penn State’s shattered reputation and ex-players and alumni who remain outraged over Paterno’s ouster in the wake of Sandusky’s arrest. The Hall of Fame coach died from lung cancer in January, two months after school trustees fired him for what they called a failure of leadership. Paterno himself offered a passionate defense of the university and its football program in the letter that surfaced for the first time Wednesday. The Paterno family said the letter was given in draft form to a few former players around December. One of the ex-players circulated it to other former players on Wednesday, and it was posted on the website FightonState.com, which covers the team. “Over and over again, I have heard Penn State officials decrying the influence of

football and have heard such ignorant comments like Penn State will no longer be a ‘football factory’ and we are going to ‘start’ focusing on integrity in athletics,” Paterno wrote. “These statements are simply unsupported by the five decades of evidence to the contrary — and succeed only in unfairly besmirching both a great university and the players and alumni of the football program who have given of themselves to help make it great.” Paterno also wrote, “This is not a football scandal and should not be treated as one.” Among those receiving Paterno’s 712-word missive Wednesday was former linebacker Brandon Short, now an investment banker in Dubai. He told The Associated Press that he will be looking to the Freeh report to find “some clarity, hoping that it is a fair assessment of what happened, and we would love to see answers.”

MIAMI HEAT President Pat Riley (left) sits with guard Ray Allen during a news conference after Allen signed an NBA basketball contract with the Miami Heat, Wednesday in Miami.
Heat signs Allen, Lewis BY TIM REYNOLDS AP Sports Writer MIAMI (AP) — Ray Allen’s role in Miami is yet to be totally determined. And that clearly doesn’t bother the NBA’s leading 3-point shooter. Allen and Rashard Lewis signed their free-agent contracts with the Heat on Wednesday, giving the NBA champions a pair of veterans who bring tons of experience and versatility to a lineup already featuring LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. And both wasted no time saying they want to adapt to the Heat way. “Whatever’s going to be best for me in this situation is going to figure itself out,”
Hoying stays hot at AA Fort Loramie’s Jared Hoying remains “on a roll” with the Texas Rangers AA affiliate in Frisco, Texas where he arrived on June 22. In 16 games he’s batting .383 (23/60) with two doubles, Hoying two homers, and eight RBI. Following an off day on Wednesday, the outfielder enters tonight’s game in Corpus Christi with a 13game hitting streak.
Allen said, flanked by Heat President Pat Riley and coach Erik Spoelstra for his introductory news conference. “This team won a championship without me. I’m not going to come in and expect for coach to cater to who I am and what I do. I’ve got to make that work on the floor with my new teammates.” Allen agreed to join the Heat on Friday, deciding to leave Boston after five wildly successful seasons and the 2008 NBA championship. Lewis agreed to terms with Miami on Tuesday. Allen will make just over $3 million this season. Lewis will earn about $1.35 million from the Heat, plus another $13.7 million after getting a buyout from the New Orleans Hornets earlier this offseason. “I’m at a point in my career
where I’ve been on the AllStar team, played for 13, 14 years and I’ve made a pretty good amount of money over my career,” Lewis said. “Everybody sets goals over their career and my next goal is obviously to try to win a championship. The ball can’t bounce forever. I’m sure you all see the gray hair on my head.” For Lewis, coming to Miami is a new beginning. For Allen, coming to Miami wraps up a month of unexpected twists and turns. The Celtics’ season ended in Miami a little over a month ago, with a loss in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals. Allen was unusually emotional after that defeat, then insisted that even after an injury-marred season — he’s reSee HEAT/Page 19
One league has more money to throw around, better hitters, better pitchers, better teams and a n e a r l y decade-long of streak dominance in interleague play. The other AP sports just won the columnist All-Star Jim Litke game for the third year in a row. So much for inferiority complexes. “You’ve got to tip your hat to the National League again,” American League manager Ron Washington said. He’s just hoping Tuesday night’s 8-0 beating wasn’t another omen. The NL wins in the 2010 and 2011 Midsummer Classics locked up homefield advantage in the World Series for the Giants and Cardinals. Both went on to beat Washington’s Texas Rangers in the fall. “They came out, swung the bats, and once they got the lead, started bringing those arms in …” Washington added glumly, “and they got the job done.” With hindsight it’s a lot easier to argue why one team of millionaires appeared more motivated than the other in an exhibition game only a few players on either side were wild about attending. The four San Francisco starters who played important roles in helping the NL See LITKE/Page 19

SPRINT CUP SERIES Track: New Hampshire Motor Speedway Race: LENOX Industrial Tools 301 Location: Loudon, N.H.

Cars generally have one to one-and-a-half lanes to play with, making passing — especially lap-down machines — difficult at best. Rubber buildup is widespread in the turns, and that determines where the driver can and can’t run. Usually two or three teams hit it right, and if it doesn’t rain and it doesn’t come down to fuel, one of them is going to win it.”
took sole possession of 14th place on NASCAR’s all-time wins list. His 47th career victory broke a tie with Buck Baker and moved him within one win of Herb Thomas in 13th. Stewart’s three 2012 wins tie him with Brad Keselowski for most on the circuit.
Another Smokin’ Finish
OF THE BEACH Matt Kenseth 2 BEST has finished second, first and third in his last three points-paying races at Daytona. In that time he has led 153 laps, 70 more than Greg Biffle, who is next on the list. On Saturday, Kenseth came mere car lengths away from sweeping both Daytona races for the first time since 1982 when Bobby Allison did so. ZONE Many drivers 3 NOwerePASSING not pleased with the drafting package in place at Daytona, complaining there was little they could do to pass. Said 2010 Daytona 500 winner Jamie McMurray: “Handling is not an issue. You just can’t get runs on people. We need a different package so we can pass easier.” Dale Earnhardt Jr. agreed, saying, “We can’t pass the leader. You can do a tandem at the end of the race like you saw, but you get hot (engine), so you can’t do it all day.” BAD BOY, GOOD RESULTS Kurt 4 Busch’s win in Friday’s Nationwide Series race at Daytona was team owner James Finch’s first NNS win since May 2009 at Charlotte with Mike Bliss. Finch also scored a Cup win in April of the same year with Brad Keselowski at Talladega. Busch has 11 NNS starts this season, scoring two wins and 10 top 10s.

Tony Stewart leads Jeff Burton and Matt Kenseth to the finish line on the final lap at Daytona as the field wrecks behind them.
Tony Stewart wins third race of 2012; fourth July 400-miler at Daytona By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor
Considering Tony Stewart now has four wins in Daytona’s July Sprint Cup Series race and zero in the sport’s marquee event, February’s Daytona 500, it’s not surprising that in Victory Lane he quipped, “I’d trade them all in for a Daytona 500 win.” But that’s where it stands for Stewart, winner of the Coke Zero 400 for the fourth time in eight years. Let the Dale Earnhardt comparisons commence, as both have demonstrated a mastery of the 2.5mile tri-oval, yet seem snakebit in the 500, a race that Earnhardt waited 20 years to win. The numbers at Daytona for the two — one a legendary first-ballot Hall of Famer, the other assured to be one day — are becoming eerily similar. Earnhardt tallied 34 career wins at the superspeedway, including Cup, Nationwide (Busch Series), IROC and Cup exhibition races (Bud Shootout, Gatorade 150s) prior to his passing in 2001. Stewart’s 18 triumphs are well shy, but his proclivity
in winning every Daytona race in his 14 years on the circuit except for the crown jewel is the ultimate juxtaposition to Earnhardt’s 20 years of futility. “We’ve had really good luck at Daytona, obviously, and I wish I could trade a couple of these races in for just one Sunday race in February,” Stewart added. “You know, it’s just being at the right place at the right time, and when those last two big wrecks happened (in Saturday night’s race) we were in the right spot. We were ahead of them both times.” Although he was forced to start near the rear of the field, Stewart was at the front of the pack when the typical late-race madness so often seen in restrictor plate racing occurred. The first, a 14-car melee with eight laps to go, was triggered in the tri-oval after Roush teammates Matt Kenseth and Greg Biffle had drafted by Stewart for the lead. Drivers involved included Clint Bowyer, Kyle Busch, Jeff Gordon, Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr. When the race again went green with two laps remaining, Kenseth and Biffle led the field while hugging the inside line, forcing Stewart to attempt a move to the high side — something few could pull off all evening. Stewart made it work, though, using a push from Kasey Kahne to fly by Kenseth, who momentarily

lost drafting contact with Biffle. Stewart threw block after block to keep Kenseth, Biffle and Kahne behind him as the field screamed down the backstretch, and as the 20-car pack stacked up in Turn 4 with the checkered flag in the air, Biffle and Kevin Harvick made contact, setting off another massive crash. By then, Stewart only had to hold a steady wheel, beating Jeff Burton and Kenseth to the line by a car length. “The biggest challenge was the 17 (Kenseth) and 16 (Biffle) car(s) obviously, and when they hooked up, I don’t think there was anybody that could beat them,” Stewart explained. “But we were able to stay in touch with them, and I got a great restart with Kasey Kahne helping me on that last restart there. I’m not sure how he got shuffled back there in (Turns) 1 and 2, but we just had to try to separate the 17 and 16 there, and once we got them pulled apart — I think Matt tried to reconnect with Greg — and we carried enough momentum to get back around in front of him and get down on that bottom line. “I tried to back up to Matt to make sure they didn’t get a huge run on us. They were coming on the outside in (Turns) 3 and 4 and the last wreck happened there, we were just fortunate enough to be leading still.”
sample reads positive, the “B” sample can then be tested to rule out a false positive. Penske Racing officials are standing behind Allmendinger until results from the “B” sample are returned. Allmendinger release a statement on Tuesday, saying in part that, “I am sorry that this has caused such a distraction for my Penske Racing team, our sponsors and fans. Obviously I would never do anything to jeopardize my opportunity here at Penske Racing or to my fellow drivers. I am very conscious about my training and health and would never knowingly take a prohibited drug.”

Classic Moments New Hampshire Motor Speedway The inaugural race, in July 1993, at what was then known as the New Hampshire International Speedway was memorable for many reasons. Jeff Burton made his first career Cup start and, after two accidents within the first 100 laps, retired the car. However, Junior Johnson called on Burton as a relief driver when Hut Stricklin was pulled from Johnson’s McDonalds Ford while suffering from food poisoning. Burton drove to a 25th-place finish. Fireworks flew between Dale Earnhardt and Sterling Marlin when Earnhardt spun off Marlin while trying to get a lap back. Davey Allison looked to have the race won, but Rusty Wallace took the lead from him on a restart with 30 laps remaining and won the Slick 50 300. Allison finished third. Tragically, this race may best be known as Allison’s final one. The popular member of the Alabama Gang was fatally injured in a helicopter crash — along with Red Farmer, who survived — in Talladega’s infield the following day.
Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Tony Stewart has been streaky all season, so he should be tough the week after the big Daytona win. Pretty Solid Pick: Denny Hamlin leads the circuit with a 9.0-place average finish at NHMS. Good Sleeper Pick: Ryan Newman has three wins in Loudon and is the defending race winner. Runs on Seven Cylinders: Not one of Kasey Kahne’s better tracks. Insider Tip: You’ll hear a lot about Jeff Burton’s four NMHS wins. The last was in 2000.

Kenseth was the man to beat at Daytona for a second straight trip, although the fortunes of plate racing found him third by night’s end. Still, he was able to increase his points lead to 25. Johnson’s 2012 plate racing results: 42nd, 35th and 36th. In fact, his plate stats over the last few — outside of a Talladega win — aren’t that impressive. Speaks more to the style of racing than the driver. You can throw a blanket over the top 3. Each has 13 top 10s in 18 races and at least one win. Junior slots third here because he trails Kenseth in the standings and Johnson in the wins column. Stewart closes the gap on the “Big Three” every three weeks or so. His problem lies in consistency — he seems to either finish in the top 3 on race day or outside of the top 20. It’s hard to fault a guy for getting wrecked while racing for the win at Daytona. That was the story of Hamlin’s night, so we’ll give him a pass and see what New Hampshire holds. Biffle took the blame for the final “Big One” of the night in Daytona, though it’s hard to pin that on any one driver. His sliding from top 5 to 21st in the wreck is punishment enough. Keselowski seems to always be near the center of the storm. From getting hit on pit road to spinning out without any help, he had a rough night but rebounded for a respectable eighth-place showing. Stewart’s dancing partner at Daytona, Kahne managed a seventh-place run thanks to the craziness in the final two football field’s worth of the 400. Since a scintillating four-week stretch that culminated in a win, Bowyer has limped to 16th- and 29thplace runs. That said, he’ll be a pre-race favorite in Loudon this Sunday. Truex is still hanging tough at seventh in the point standings, but a win would go a long way in securing a spot in the Chase. Somehow brought a wrecked racecar home to a 12th-place finish. Still 87 points out of a Chase birth. Congrats to the Harvicks on the birth of their first child, Keelan Paul, born on Sunday. Currently occupies wild card spot No. 2 — but it’s oh-so-close in the mid-teens. If it’s not mechanical woes that fell Busch, it’s a Daytona “Big One.” Thirty-two points out of 10th in the standings and desperately scrambling to get things on track.

Trade talk should heat up in baseball’s second half
LITKE
From Page 17 Afterward, Washington still seemed surprised by Verlander’s decision to begin the game throwing heat. The manager couldn’t find too many nice things to say about the strategy, so he said almost nothing at all. “Well, it’s very disappointing, because we’re competitors and we want to win,” Washington said. The Tigers’ ace had an explanation ready. Verlander said he usually doesn’t register triple digits on the radar gun until well into a game, but decided to try early in this one to give the fans a show. “Obviously, you don’t want to go out like that, but I had fun,” Verlander said. “That’s why I don’t try to throw 100 (mph) in the first inning, but this is for the fans. It doesn’t usually work out too well for me. “I know this game means something and you don’t want to give up runs, but we’re here for the fans,” he repeated a moment later. “I know the fans don’t want to see me throw 90 and try to hit the corners.” One glance at the steadily declining TV ratings makes you wonder how much the fans really want to see. Last year’s game in Phoenix was the lowest-rated ever, continuing a trend Commissioner Bud Selig
hoped to avert by putting home-field advantage in the World Series at stake. Then again, this one had more appeal than a few recent games. Familiar faces like Derek Jeter and Chipper Jones, at 40 playing in his eighth and final All-Star game, mingled with the fresh ones belonging to the next generation of stars, kids like Bryce Harper and Mike Trout. Fox showcased new hire Erin Andrews and trotted out a promotional campaign reminding us of the game’s old-time virtues: “When we see the boys of summer actually be boys.” That may have been true about a few too many of the guys on the American League bench, at least for this one night. La Russa took some heat a day earlier — including in this space — for his decision to start Cain over fan favorite Dickey, a 37-yearold journeyman whose first All-Star appearance came after a long struggle to master the knuckleball. Apparently, that nasty little competitive streak grew wide enough to make a big difference. ——— Jim Litke is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press.

edge to push them into the postseason. • Felix Hernandez, RHP, Mariners: Seattle has been adamant that it is not considering moving King Felix. But if they ever would, now may be the time. The 26-year-old is 6-5 with a 3.13 ERA and is signed through 2014. He’s already topped 1,500 innings pitched in his young career and the Mariners appear nowhere close to contending. • Francisco Liriano, LHP, Twins: Got off to a horrendous start to the season and was moved to the bullpen. But it’s what have you done for me lately, and the lefty who will be a free agent this winter is 3-2 with a 2.74 ERA and .175 opponents’ batting average since rejoining the rotation. Last-place Twins need young assets, and Liriano may be best trade chip. • Cole Hamels, LHP, and Shane Victorino, OF, Phillies: The Phils already moved Charlie Manuel favorite Jim Thome. Now these two mainstays, who are eligible for free agency at the end of the season, could be available for the right price. Quentin, OF, —Carlos Padres: Any team looking for some proven power should consider Quentin, who topped 20 homers in each of the past four years for the White Sox. In his first season in spacious Petco Park, Quentin has just seven homers and could benefit from a change of scenery. KEY INJURIES: These guys better get healthy if their
teams expect to have a chance to play into October. • CC Sabathia, LHP, Yankees: On the disabled list with a strained left groin, the Yankees desperately need their horse back at the top of the rotation. With Andy Pettitte out until late August at the earliest with a fractured left ankle, big No. 52 is more important than ever in New York. • Evan Longoria, 3B, Rays: Longoria is on the shelf with a torn left hamstring that could keep him out for a while. In the meantime, the Rays will try to stay within shouting distance of the Yankees and the wild card without their leader. • Kemp, OF, Dodgers: He has emerged as perhaps the best player in the game, a “fivetool guy” who has given the Dodgers their swagger. But he’s played in just two games since May 14 because of a strained left hamstring, the kind of injury that can linger if it’s not taken care of properly. • Stephen Strasburg, RHP, Nationals: He has shown no ill effects coming off Tommy John surgery, which will make the second half all the more intriguing for the Nationals and their young flamethrower. GM Mike Rizzo has said that the team intends to hold Strasburg to an innings limit and will shut him down once he reaches that point to try to avoid another major arm injury. But if the Nats are in contention for a title, will they be able to hold true to that?
HEAT covering from surgery to remove bone spurs from his right ankle — he has basketball left in his legs. Boston tried to keep him, offering him twice as much as he’ll make per year in Miami. Nonetheless, Allen found himself drawn to the Heat. “You come into the summer, and you don’t know what potentially can happen,” Allen said. “And you take the process a step at a time, try to figure out what’s best for you and your family. And here I sit.” Allen said that Celtics coach Doc Rivers and general manager Danny Ainge were disappointed by his decision. Allen said he reached out to Kevin Garnett — he was particularly close with Garnett and Paul Pierce in Boston — when he began leaning toward Miami, telling Garnett in a text message that the move was likely. Garnett’s responded by saying that he was sure Ainge would do

From Page 17 whatever it took to keep Allen in Boston. Days later, Allen was signing in Miami. And on Wednesday, Allen downplayed the notion that the move came in part because of a perceived rift with Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo. “I can’t say that it factored in my decision,” Allen said. “As teammates, we were brothers. … There’s differences. We all have differences. Paul eats corn flakes. I might not like corn flakes. That’s just part of kind of who we are as individuals.” Lewis has already thought plenty about what it could mean to
share the court with James, Wade, Bosh and Allen. In short, he knows defenses could be a bit confounded. “You’ve got to doubleteam LeBron. You have to double-team Dwyane Wade. You’ve got to double-team Chris Bosh. And then you think they’re going to leave Ray Allen open?” Lewis said. “They’ve got to leave somebody open. So I have to go shoot a million jumpers tonight and be ready to knock them down.” A few moments later, Lewis posed with Riley and Spoelstra, holding his new No. 9 jersey in Miami colors.

crack the game open early arrived in Kansas City a few days ago trailed by echoes their fans had stuffed the ballot box — which they apparently had. If that bothered Pablo Sandoval or Melky Cabrera, neither let on. Giants catcher Buster Posey arrived as the NL’s all-time leading vote-getter and tried not to act embarrassed. Right-hander Matt Cain, whose 10 first-half wins included a perfect game and made him a plenty legitimate choice to start, had to dodge questions about why NL manager Tony La Russa chose him over the Mets’ R.A. Dickey. And then there was Milwaukee’s Ryan Braun. The NL’s reigning MVP is on something resembling a “vindication tour.” Coming off a career year in 2011, the 28-year-old Braun spent much of the offseason defending himself — first after testing positive for a banned substance and then, after his suspension was overturned, against the charge that he beat the rap on a technicality. Asked ahead of the game whether his explosive first-half performance was proof that performance-enhancers played no part in his climb, Braun coolly answered yes. Then he went out and played like an AllStar yet again. He doubled, tripled and turned in a pair of nifty defensive plays, including one against former teammate Prince Fielder. While Cain was stifling an AL lineup that resembled the first round of a fantasy draft, Braun and his Giants teammates collected five runs off AL starter Justin Verlander in the first, then put the game effectively out of reach in the fourth — with some assistance from Cardinals Rafael Furcal and Matt Holliday — by pounding Matt Harrison for another three runs.
from here on out, the game in Kansas City could be one of the last nights of baseball without any juice for quite a while. “We’re playing for a lot more here,” Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. “We’re playing for a city, the goal being to re-bond the city with its ballclub.” HOT RACES: The Yankees hold a seven-game lead over Baltimore in the AL East, but it’s still early and every division is up for grabs. Here’s a few of the races that are expected to remain tight until the final days. • NL Central: The Pirates are just one game ahead of the Reds and only 2½ games ahead of the defending champs in St. Louis. • NL West: The Dodgers looked like the class of the league at the start of the season, but injuries to stars Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier have brought them back to the pack. And the Giants, just half a game back, are brimming with confidence after Pablo Sandoval, Melky Cabrera and Matt Cain led the NL to an 8-0 win in the All-Star game. • AL West: The Rangers may be the best team in baseball, but the Los Angeles Angels have rebounded from a slow start to show that this will be no runaway. The Rangers lead by 4 games in search of their third straight AL crown. TRADE BAIT: Several big names figure to be trading places by the end of the month as teams look for that extra

There was a public outcry when R.A. Dickey did not start the All-Star game, a journeyman for the Chicago White Sox threw a perfect game and the Pittsburgh Pirates of all teams were in first place as the first half of the baseball season drew to a close. What’s next, postseason baseball in the nation’s capital? It sure looks that way. An eventful and unexpected first half that included Dickey knuckling his way to stardom with the Mets, Phil Humber’s out-of-nowhere perfecto for the White Sox and the Yankees muzzling former slugger Reggie Jackson after some disparaging comments about Alex Rodriguez is only expected to get more intriguing as the season rounds second and heads for third. The non-waiver trade deadline is looming at the end of the month, and the Baltimore Orioles and White Sox got ahead of the curve by acquiring Jim Thome and Kevin Youkilis, respectively, to bolster their offenses. Milwaukee’s Zack Greinke, Philadelphia’s Cole Hamels and Arizona’s Justin Upton could be headed elsewhere as the contenders and pretenders separate themselves. “There’s several teams involved in races right now,” said Detroit manager Jim Leyland, whose Tigers joined the Phillies
and Red Sox on the list of bigspending underachievers in the first half of the season. “There’s probably going to be a lot of teams that would like to go out and get somebody. But the more teams that want to get something, the tougher it is to get it.” And there’s even more motivation for deals to be made in the first year of baseball’s expanded postseason. The Fall Classic will be a little wilder this time around. A new format kicks in this year that adds an extra wild card team to each league. That means 10 teams will have a chance to get in and go for it all. The Orioles, who trail the Yankees by seven games in the AL East, haven’t been to the postseason since 1997, the Pirates haven’t been there since 1992 and the nation’s capital hasn’t hosted a playoff baseball game since 1933, when Mel Ott homered in Game 5 of the World Series to help the New York Giants beat the Senators for the championship. That was long before Natitude, long before “that’s a clown question, bro” and certainly way before the All-Star game decided home-field advantage in the World Series. It’s a new day, and if Bryce Harper and the Nationals or Andrew McCutchen and the Pirates somehow Buc the odds and make it to the Series, they’ll be hosting the party after the National League beat the AL 8-0. With so much on the line

in simple, cialized straightforward recipes. Along with that approach went a deep concern about the disappearance of the home-cooked meal eaten en famille. “Home cooking is a catalyst that brings people together,” she wrote in the forward to “Lost Recipes.” ”We are losing the daily ritual of sitting down around the table (without the intrusion of television), of having the opportunity to interact, to share our experiences and concerns, AP Photo/Chris Mumma to listen to others.” FLAMES RISE from a derailed freight train early Wednesday in Columbus. Part of a freight train derailed and caught fire in Ohio’s capital city early Wednesday, shooting flames skyward into the darkness and prompting the evacuation of a mile-wide area as firefighters and hazardous materials crews From Page 1 worked to determine what was burning and contain the blaze.
“We are asking the public to use extra caution to avoid accidental fires,” said Wolfe. “An accidental fire can cause serious injuries and damage property. The person responsible for the fire can be held liable for any injuries and damage.” The Sidney Fire Department will continue to enforce the fire code and the open burning ordinance within its jurisdiction. There is a copy of the open burn checklist, which describes the conditions that must be met to comply with the ordi-
said Wolfe. “We want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable summer.” The increased dryness enhances a fire’s ability to quickly consume its fuel, whether it is brush, grass, trees or other things. The burning of trash in burn barrels also poses a risk, according to Lockington Fire Chief Jon Adams. “We’re asking folks not to burn things because the fire can spread so rapidly that people don’t realize it,” said Adams. Residents with questions about this burn advisory should contact their local fire chief.
FRANCISCO SAN (AP) — Marion Cunningham, the home-cooking champion whose legacy can be found in the foodspattered pages of “Fannie Farmer” cookbooks in kitchens across America, has died at age 90. Cunningham, who had been ill for some years, died of complications from Alzheimer’s disease at a hospital in Walnut Creek, Calif., a family friend told the San Francisco Chronicle. Best known for her revisions of the classic “The Fannie Farmer Cook-
book,” in 1979 and again in 1990, Cunningham also wrote several other books, including “The Breakfast Book,” ”Cooking with Children,” and “Lost Recipes.” She also hosted a television series, “Cunningham & Company,” that aired on the Food Network. Though she moved in rarefied circles that included culinary luminaries such as James Beard and Alice Waters, Cunningham resisted trendiness. She was an ardent supporter of the humble iceberg lettuce and spe-
nance. It can be found on the city of Sidney’s website, www.sidneyoh.com. It will be on the Sidney Fire and Emergency Services homepage, which is located under the Public Safety section. The open burning ordinance follows the Ohio Fire Code but adds local enforcement language which is specific to Sidney. For open burning which occurs outside the city of Sidney but in the township, the Ohio Fire Code is used. “The best prevention for accidental fires is to refrain from burning,”
WATER
From Page 1
Dry weather conditions have driven water usage up 25 to 33 percent above normal levels for July. The July 2010 average daily use was 403,000 gallons and on Monday, utility customers used 550,000 gallons. “Our system of wells ordinarily delivers about 250,000-400,000 gallons per day,” said Greg Dennings, Water Department superintendent.”The wells can supply upwards of 800,000 gallons for a single day if they are run continuously, but that does not allow the wells sufficient time to recharge. We’ve been dry for longer than we were last year when we began the water use advisory in July.” Village Administrator Wayne York reports that seven test wells have been drilled in the last two years at various locations with only marginal success. “The EPA approval process for new public water wells can take as long as six months or more, so even if we have a new well site today, it would take
until the following summer before it could be put in service,” said York. “The watershed fountain and automatic irrigation systems in Lock One Park will be cut back by at least 50 percent in order to save water and to set the right example. The only watering that New Bremen will do will use either canal water or water collected from the final discharge at the wastewater treatment plant. Those locations will be the newly seeded Rotary Sunshine Playground in Bremenfest Park and various trees around town. If residents see our tanker trailer in use, it is not carrying drinking water. Residents are further advised to postpone fertilizer applications that require watering until normal rainfall resumes. The water use advisory will continue until water usage returns to normal levels. Any resident with further questions about this advisory can call (419) 629-3423.
TRAIN Assistant Chief David Whiting of the Columbus fire division said it was fortunate the accident occurred in the middle of the night. “The time it occurred, where it occurred, were very good things for us,” Whiting said. “Because we didn’t have a whole lot of people around, businesses were closed, we were able to take care of getting our firefighters back and evacuating a small number of people.” About 100 residents who live within a 1-mile radius of the derailment were evacuated by firefighters, who decided to let the fire burn itself out, according to Whiting. Officials said the burning ethanol, an alcohol compound commonly used in fuel, posed no environmental or health concerns. Residents were back in their homes by mid-afternoon. Nicholas Goodrich, a 35-year-old grocery store employee from Colum-
From Page 1 bus, said he and two other people got as close as 100 feet from the explosion. “Looking at it, I thought it was an atomic bomb or something,” he said. “The heat was so excruciating that I had to ball up and cover my body.” Norfolk Southern spokesman Dave Pidgeon said the 98-carfreight train was traveling from Chicago to Linwood, N.C. Sixteen cars ended up going off the tracks, including the three hauling ethanol. Two cars transporting wheat and corn syrup were breached and were leaking an undetermined amount, officials said. Crews were applying sand to stop the leaks before trying to recover what they can of the remaining cargo. Joel Priester said he watched the blast from his home about two blocks away. “I saw flames, then I heard a loud sound, like
a boom, and saw the flames shooting higher,” he said. “It looked like the sun exploded.” Patricia Reilly, a spokeswoman for the American Association of Railroads, said freight train accidents are uncommon, given the volume of freight that is transported around the country by trains. Roughly 29.4 million carloads of freight are hauled every year across 140,000-plus miles of rail in the United States, she said. Of that, 1.8 million carloads are categorized as varying hazardous materials. Last year, about 325,000 carloads of ethanol were hauled over those lines. Last year was one of the safest years ever for U.S. railroads, Reilly said. “I think one accident is a horrible thing,” she said. “But it’s always a good education to understand in context what that represents in the big picture.”
