Penn State cover-up Inquiry: Officials concealed sex abuse BY MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Joe Paterno and other top Penn State officials buried child sexual abuse allegations against Jerry Sandusky more than a decade ago to avoid bad publicity, according to a scathing report Thursday that exposed a powerful “culture of reverence” for the
football program and portrayed the Hall of Fame coach as more deeply involved in the scandal than previously thought. The alleged cover-up by Paterno, thenuniversity President Graham Spanier and two other Penn State administrators allowed Sandusky to prey on other boys for years, said the report by former FBI Director Louis Freeh, who was hired by the university’s trustees to investigate.
He called the officials’ behavior “callous and shocking.” “Our most saddening and sobering finding is the total disregard for the safety and welfare of Sandusky’s child victims by the most senior leaders at Penn State,” Freeh said at a news conference in Philadelphia upon the release of the 267-page report. “The most powerSee PENN/Page 13

Sheriff takes Humane Society banks BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@sdnccg.com Apparently fearing that the Shelby County Humane Society may be misusing donated funds, the Shelby County Sheriff ’s Office has collected several small coin banks belonging to the group, an action Society President Mike Lescowitch says is theft. The banks had been placed on checkout counters of area businesses to allow customers to donate loose change. “There are questions about funding,” Sheriff John Lenhart said when asked why he had assigned a deputy to
pick up the banks. “It’s the sheriff ’s job to prevent crime. If you don’t have (nonprofit status), you cannot receive donations that are tax Lescowitch deductions.” “That’s theft,” said Lescowitch about collection of the banks. “Those banks belong to the society and so do the donations that have been put into them. Even though we’re not (nonprofit), we can raise funds.” The society lost its non-

Council OKs bonuses NEW KNOXVILLE — New Knoxville Village Council, following an executive session during its July meeting Tuesday, adopted an emergency ordinance awarding one-time 2 percent bonuses to village employees, based on their semiannual base salaries. Mayor Keith Leffel reminded council members no wage increases have been made in 2012 and village leaders had promised to review village economics at midyear. Leffel said income tax receipts have increased since then and that village workers have done an outstanding job of conserving costs. The bonuses, which will cost about $2,665, will show their efforts are appreciated, he said. Council gave first readings Tuesday to ordinances establishing a cash-reserve policy defining how much money should be kept in reserve and a second ordinance creating an investment policy dealing with how the village can spend its money. Council President Mark Howe said the ordinances have been designed to protect village assets. In other actions, council authorized Village Administrator Rex Katterheinrich to pursue the purchase of a used fire truck to replace the fire department’s oldest truck. He said the purchase will be a joint venture between the village and Washington Township. Katterheinrich also asked council members to consider public works projects they would like to see scheduled in 2013, because villages in Auglaize County will receive grant money next year. Council’s next meeting will be Aug. 14 at 7:30 p.m. in the village administration building.

DP&L warns customers about scam A new identity theft scam is preying on Dayton Power and Light customers. According to a press release from DP&L, the company has received calls from customers who have been contacted by individuals who claim President Barak Obama is paying utility bills as part of a bailout plan. Targets of the scam are asked to register for the program and to provide personal and financial information. According to the release, victims are assured that their utility bills will be paid if the information is provided and in some cases they provide a confirmation number. DP&L offers these tips: • Never give anyone personal information such as your Social Security number (or numbers from the back of your Social Security card), bank account number or credit card number unless you initiated the conversation and you are confident the transaction is legitimate. • If you receive a call from someone claiming to be with your utility company asking for payment, hang up and call the utility’s customer service number. DP&L customers can email us or call (800) 4338500. • If you have already provided information to someone making this offer, contact your bank and the three national credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion immediately. • If someone pressures you to provide personal or financial information, hang up immediately. Notify your local police department. • Check on elderly relatives and friends, often targets of such schemes, to make sure they have not fallen victim to this fraud.

BANKS ports of the society. Shelby County Commissioner Julie Ehemann said the board of commissioners has not instituted an investigation. She said there have been no recent complaints about the society. Lenhart said he thought the Sidney Police Department was preparing such an investigation, but Sidney Police Chief Kevin Gessler said that no charges have been filed. “It’s premature to call it a criminal investigation,” Gessler said. “We’re kind of in a holding pattern. That’s just if we’re needed. A private accountant is looking at the books. We don’t know what it might reveal. But if an investigation is needed, we are ready to be the agent of one.” According to Lescowitch, the Humane Society’s board has contracted an accountant and an attorney to assist with recovering its nonprofit status. He confessed that ignoring the required IRS filings was his fault. “I should have been more on top of it,” he said. Lescowitch said when he took over as president, “we didn’t know what we were doing.” He noted a former society officer had had been stealing from the agency. He said dealing with the charges to recover that money consumed what time he had after taking care of animals. He also noted the IRS sent notices to the addresses of previous society officers because no one had notified the IRS of personnel changes. Consequently, he said he had not been aware that forms needed to be filed. The president of the Darke County Humane Society said that often new boards don’t know what’s required of them.

The Darke, and Miami Shelby County Humane societies partner to bring training opportunities to the region that none could afford alone. It’s an attempt to raise the level of animal care in all three counties, she noted. Lescowitch stressed that animals have always been the local society’s primary focus. “We’re going to carry on and continue to take care of animals,” he said. His wife, Sandra, is also a humane officer. The society has two additional trainees. They have worked in concert with the county animal shelter to cover the duties of handling stray or mistreated dogs. However, Lescowitch claimed that Deputy Cami Frey, who manages the shelter, recently has not been taking his calls. The society provides funds for veterinary care and food, some of which is used by the shelter. “Last year, we took 20 animals out of the shelter that were sick and injured (because the shelter did not have the resources to care for them),” Lescowitch said. “From November through May, the shelter bought no food for their animals. We supplied all of it. And this is the thanks I get.” The Sheriff ’s Office has no plans to keep the money in the coin banks. “When whoever figures out what’s going on,” Lenhart said, “we’ll give it to the rightful owners.” See Saturday’s Sidney Daily News for more on the Shelby County Humane Society and the Shelby County Animal Rescue Foundation.

Portman plays down meetings with Romney campaign BY DAN SEWELL Associated Press CINCINNATI (AP) — Ohio Sen. Rob Portman is tamping down running m a t e speculation that flared up this week after he was in Boston Portman with Mitt Romney campaign officials. Portman said his time in Boston on Monday was to help with fundraising and to discuss strategy in the Republican presidential candidate’s campaign. A weekend trip to New Hampshire was in response to that state’s Republican Party’s request that he speak at a GOP fundraiser there, he said, and he also was to make some college visits in the region with his daughter. “While I was in the area, I also did something the Romney campaign has been asking
me to do for some time, which is to do some fundraisers for them. I did those in Boston,” Portman told Ohio reporters during a conference call Thursday. “So it was a trip that I planned for a while, and it really has nothing to do with the vice presidential issue.” The longtime congressman who served as U.S. trade representative and budget chief in the George W. Bush administration is widely believed to be among the top contenders to be Romney’s running mate, so his trips to New Hampshire and Boston drew a lot of attention from those following the “veepstakes.” Portman has said repeatedly he’s happy in his current role, and is focused on helping the Romney campaign any way he can. Ohio was targeted early by both sides in the presidential race for heavy television advertising and frequent campaign visits. President Barack Obama’s campaign said Thursday he
will return to the swing state Monday, in Cincinnati. The state’s Democratic Party chairman, Chris Redfern, said he doubted adding Portman to the ticket would help Romney, saying the senator isn’t even wellknown throughout Ohio. “Rob Portman may have spent some time in New Hampshire and Boston recently, but he ought to spend some time in Toledo,” Redfern said. Portman also pointed Thursday to a proposal he is promoting with Democratic U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill for a way to relax tariffs on some materials imported by U.S. manufacturers. Portman says the proposed changes would help job creators through transparent, merit-driven procedures for tariff relief. McCaskill is facing a tough re-election race. Teaming with her underlines Portman’s contention that he tries to get things done in Washington by reaching across party lines.
Urbana man pleads guilty to dismembering girlfriend URBANA (AP) — A man accused of stabbing, suffocating and dismembering his girlfriend faces a life prison sentence after pleading guilty to aggravated murder and other charges. Matthew Puccio, 26, entered the plea during a hearing Wednesday in the slaying of 21-yearold Jessica Rae Sacco, whose remains were found in the bathtub of their Urbana apartment in late March, according to the Champaign County prosecutor’s office. He’ll be sentenced Aug. 20. Puccio was among five people charged in Sacco’s slaying. A couple from Fenton, Mich., and two people from Urbana have pleaded not guilty in the case. Investigators say they failed to intervene in the killing and helped Puccio cut off or transport limbs to southern Ohio and Kentucky, about 70 to 85 miles away.
Puccio also pleaded guilty to three counts of abusing a corpse, felonious assault and tampering with evidence, the prosecutor’s office said. Charges of tampering with evidence and possession of criminal tools were dropped. A call to Puccio’s attorney wasn’t returned Thursday. In media interviews, Puccio said he met Sacco through Facebook while he was living in Texas, they moved in together in Urbana and they argued often. He has said Sacco begged him to kill her after he confronted her about text messages she’d sent saying she wanted him dead. He also told reporters that he deserved to die for killing Sacco by suffocating her with a plastic bag. The Urbana Daily Citizen reported that Puccio initially had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity but was found competent

With fire out, focus now on train crash cause COLUMBUS (AP) — A train that partly derailed and exploded north of downtown was traveling below the recommended speed before the crash, and its operators noticed no problems with the track as they approached the curve where it happened, a National Transportation Safety Board representative said. The NTSB is looking into what caused the Wednesday derailment on Norfolk Southern Corp. tracks north of downtown Columbus, which led to spectacular explosions and the burning of three tank cars, each carrying 30,000 gallons of ethanol. Authorities said they decided to let the tankers burn for a while and then spray chemical foam to prevent the

The 98-car-freight train was traveling from Chicago to Linwood, N.C., Norfolk Southern spokesman Dave Pidgeon said. In all, 16 cars went off the tracks. Nobody aboard the train was hurt, but two people suffered minor injuries while walking along the tracks to investigate when an explosion occurred, authorities said. Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman and public safety officials said they were grateful the accident occurred in the middle of the night, away from more populated areas. About 100 residents within a 1mile radius were evacuated but were able to return later Wednesday.

OUT OF THE BLUE Starbucks to be served at funeral home EASLEY, S.C. (AP) — A funeral home in northwestern South Carolina will be offering what it calls the Starbucks experience to those needing comfort, or just a cup of coffee. Robinson Funeral Home in Easley is building a coffee shop attached to the funeral home. The Coffee Corner will feature Starbucks coffee and food and also will be open to those who don’t need services from the funeral home. Chris Robinson says the Coffee Corner will include a fireplace, TV and Wi-Fi. Starbucks employees will train employees at the funeral home later this month before the shop opens. Robinson says there’s nothing like food or coffee to help comfort those who’ve experienced a loss.

Documents conflict on when Romney left Bain WASHINGTON (AP) — Documents filed by Mitt Romney’s former company conflict with the Republican presidential candidate’s statements about when he gave up control of the private equity firm Bain Capital. President Barack Obama’s campaign seized on the discrepancies Thursday to charge that Romney was lying about his background. Romney, in turn, said Obama was the one being dishonest, rolling out a hardhitting television ad that accused the president of launching “misleading, unfair and untrue” attacks about the Republican’s role in outsourcing U.S. jobs. “When a president doesn’t tell the truth, how can we trust him to lead?” the narrator says in the Romney ad titled “No Evidence.” Obama has accused Romney of being an “outsourcing pioneer” who invested in companies that shipped jobs to China, India and elsewhere overseas. But Romney, who has made his business experience the central part of his candidacy, claims he had no role in outsourcing U.S. jobs because much of that activity didn’t happen until after 1999, when he says
he had given up operational control at Bain. Both candidates dug in on their positions, dispatching aides to level deeply personal criticisms aimed at casting each opponent as little more than a typical politician. Each candidate is seeking to sully his rival’s integrity in hopes of gaining ground in closely contested campaign four months before Election Day. But the strategy carries risks: It could alienate voters — especially critical independents — who are turned off by negative campaigning and want to see the candidates focus on the economy and job growth. At issue is when Romney left Bain, and whether he was at the helm when it sent jobs overseas. The documents, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, place Romney in charge of Bain from 1999 to 2001, a period in which the company outsourced jobs and ran companies that fell into bankruptcy. Romney has tried to distance himself from this period in Bain’s history, saying on financial disclosure forms he had no
active role in Bain as of February 1999. Obama has labeled Romney a job killer in hopes of undercutting the Republican’s claim that his private business experience gives him the ability to turn around the struggling economy. But at least three times since then, Bain listed Romney as the company’s “controlling person,” as well as its “sole shareholder, sole director, chief executive officer and president.” And one of those documents — as late as February 2001 — lists Romney’s “principal occupation” as Bain’s managing director. The Obama campaign called the SEC documents detailing Romney’s role post1999 a “big Bain lie.” And Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said the presumptive GOP nominee may have even engaged in illegal activity. “Either Mitt Romney, through his own words and his own signature, was misrepresenting his position at Bain to the SEC, which is a felony,” Cutter said, “or he is misrepresenting his position at Bain to the American people to avoid responsibility for some of the consequences of his investments.”

IN THIS March 20 file photo, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Ill. speaks in Chicago. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi says she expects Jackson to explain his weeks-long leave of absence after he has had an evaluation of his evaluation of his medical condition. Pelosi indicated that she had not spoken to the Illinois Democrat.
‘Mood disorder’ raises questions CHICAGO (AP) — U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.’s disclosure that he is suffering from a “mood disorder” still leaves many questions about his secretive medical leave and whether the Illinois congressman has satisfied mounting calls to be more open about his monthlong absence. Just hours after Democratic leaders in Congress ratcheted up pressure on Jackson to reveal more information, his office released a brief statement from his doctor on Wednesday saying the Chicago Democrat was receiving “intensive medical treatment at a residential treatment facility for a mood disorder.” But it offered no details
about Jackson’s whereabouts or even the name of the doctor, citing federal privacy laws. Several experts said that based on the doctor’s use of the term “mood disorder,” they believed Jackson might be suffering from depression. But the statement did not elaborate on his condition and rejected claims that the 47-year-old congressman was being treated for “alcohol or substance abuse.” “He is responding positively to treatment and is expected to make a full recovery,” the statement said. His spokesman declined to elaborate. Jackson’s father, who appeared agitated by reporters’ questions Thursday, asked for privacy.
BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian activists reported a new massacre late Thursday in the central Homs province, saying regime forces killed more than 100 people in shelling and other attacks. There were few details on the attack, which was reported by the Local Coordination Committees activist group and the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The Observatory said it was aware of up to 100 killed from sources on the ground, but the group had only confirmed the names of 30 people so far. Death tolls are nearly impossible to independently verify in Syria, where the government restricts journalists and where more than a year of violence has convulsed much of the country. There were few details of the violence in Hama’s Tremseh area. Activists say more than
17,000 people have been killed since the uprising against President Bashar Assad began in March 2011, and he is coming under growing international pressure to stop the violence. But as the bloodshed continues, and the conflict morphs into an armed insurgency, hopes for a peaceful transition are dimming. The latest report of violence came in the wake of the highest-level defector yet from President Bashar Assad’s regime — his ambassador to Iraq. Defections from the Syrian regime have stirred hopes in the West Assad’s inner circle will start abandoning him in greater numbers, hastening his downfall. But the tightly protected regime has largely held together over the course of the 16-month-old uprising, driven by a mixture of fear and loyalty.
Thousands fall victim to scam MADISON, Wis. (AP) — As much as President Barack Obama wants your vote, he’s not actually offering to pay your monthly bills. But thousands of Americans have been persuaded otherwise, falling victim to a fast-moving scam that claims to be part of an Obama administration program to help pay utility bills in the midst of a scorching summer. The scheme spread quickly across the nation in recent weeks with help from victims who unwittingly shared it on social media sites before realizing they had been conned out of personal information such as Social Security, credit card and
checking account numbers. “No one knows who is behind this,” said Katherine Hutt, spokeswoman for the Council of Better Business Bureaus in Arlington, Va. “We’re pretty concerned. It seems to have really taken off.” People from all corners of the country report being duped, from New Jersey to California, Wisconsin to Florida and all parts in between. The scam benefits from being cleverly executed and comes at a time when air conditioners in much of the country are running around the clock to tame record-high temperatures.
Unemployment claims plunge WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of people seeking U.S. unemployment benefits plunged last week. But a big reason is that automakers have skipped some of their usual summer shutdowns to keep up with demand, causing fewer temporary auto layoffs. Economists expect the number of Americans seeking unemployment aid to go back up in coming weeks. The auto industry’s recovery has helped support the struggling U.S. economy. U.S. auto sales in the first half of the year jumped 15 percent over the same period a year ago. Sales of new vehicles surged in June. Automakers also began Independence Day promotions early, lifting sales at the end of the month. The Labor Department ad-
justs the number of applications for unemployment aid to account for seasonal factors. But it didn’t anticipate fewer temporary shutdowns of auto plants this summer — and fewer auto layoffs. That distorted the seasonally adjusted data it released Thursday. And that may largely explain why applications for unemployment aid tumbled 26,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 350,000 — the fewest since March 2008. “Take July with a grain of salt,” Jill Brown, an economist at Credit Suisse, said in a note to clients. The auto shutdowns “often cause extreme volatility.” Automakers traditionally close their plants in the first two weeks in July to prepare them to build new models,
and their employees often file for unemployment benefits. But Ford Motor Co. said in May that it would reduce its usual two-week closing to just one week. And Chrysler canceled the normal two-week shutdowns at three factories. Applications for unemployment benefits measure the pace of layoffs. When they consistently fall below 375,000, it generally suggests that hiring is strong enough to reduce the unemployment rate. The number has fluctuated at or above that level since April. At the same time, hiring has slowed sharply compared with the first three months of the year. Employers added only 80,000 jobs in June, the third straight month of weak hiring. The unemployment rate was stuck at 8.2 percent.
And wages have barely kept up with inflation over the past year, leading consumers to pull back on spending. The economy isn’t growing fast enough to prompt more hiring. The economy grew at an annual rate of just 1.9 percent in the first three months of the year. Most economists don’t think growth picked up in the April-June quarter. And some predict that it weakened. The Federal Reserve expects the U.S. economy to grow just 1.9 percent to 2.4 percent for 2012. That’s half a percentage point lower than the range it estimated in April. The Fed also says the unemployment rate won’t fall much further this year than it has already.

cabin, we didn’t make it to the wedding in Berne of Joe’s cousin, LuAnn, and Joe. We wish them God’s blessings as they start their lives together. LuAnn is Jacob’s youngest sister, so Emma had a lot of sewing to do for the wedding. Last week, we received a wedding invitation from nephew Albert Jr. and Louanna. Their wedding will be Aug. 16. I would like to go get material to sew for the wedding. I also have to help cook and wear a hunter green color. I will share the bean dip recipe with you for the ones who have Crockpots.

the cabin. She wanted cupcakes instead of a cake. We invited Jacob, Emma, and family to join us at the lake for a cook-out on Loretta’s birthday. Joe barbecued chicken and hot wings and I made a pizza casserole in the Crockpot. We also had cupcakes and ice cream in honor of Loretta’s birthday. I never used a Crockpot before, but I really liked it. While we were there I made a roast, wet burrito casserole, pizza casserole, breakfast casserole, and bean dip in it on different days. It was nice to put something in there and be done with the cooking part. Everyone loved the bean dip. Joe took care of the grilling and one night we made baked potatoes on the grill. They tasted good with butter and some of the children wanted ranch dressing on theirs. Loretta thought her muscles felt a lot more relaxed being in the lake water last week. At first she needed help coming out of the water, but by the end of the week, she could come out by herself. Since we were at the

Area offers many festivals DAYTON — Summer is the time for festivals and community gatherings. The counties of Shelby, Auglaize, Mercer and Van Wert have wonderful festival experiences ready to welcome visitors with hometown traditions and small communities. Wapakoneta’s Summer Moon Festival offers plenty of family fun, food and entertainment as well as a chance to meet a real astronaut. The festival events take place in downtown Wapakoneta and on the grounds of the Armstrong Air & Space Museum, WednesdayJuly 22. NASA Space Shuttle Astronaut Greg Johnson will be at the museum on Saturday morning, July 21, for the 5 & 10K Run to the Moon. The weekend also offers great music from The Red Ball Jets, Nashville Crush & Staples. Don’t miss the wiener dog races, car show, rocket launches and bed races. Check out summermoonfestival.com for a full schedule of events. Join thousands of bargain hunters in the Van Wert area Aug. 1-11 as the community participates in the 25th annual Highway 127 and seventh Lincoln Highway Yard Sales. Thousands of people will crowd the highway in search of that “special treasure” just waiting for a new home. Since 2006, Van Wert County has taken part in the “world’s longest yard sale” (stretching from Alabama to Michigan). This yard sale will be held Aug. 1-5. Residents along the nearly 30 miles of
highway welcome buyers from around the country to stop and shop for great bargains among the many treasures offered for sale. The Van Wert County Fairgrounds, located at the south edge of the city, is also the site of a giant yard sale. With easy access and plenty of parking, it is an ideal place to take a break from a busy shopping schedule. The Lincoln Highway is America’s first transcontinental highway reaching from New York to California. Construction began in 1912 and was completed in 1915. To celebrate the significance of this historic roadway, the Ohio Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor organization established the Lincoln Highway Buy-Way Sale. From New Jersey to Nebraska, the seventh annual BUY-WAY Yard Sale promises to be even bigger and better. More than 100,000 people and 40,000 vehicles were on the roads in Ohio and Indiana for last year’s three-day sale. Van Wert vendors set up along the 26 miles of the Lincoln Highway to greet shoppers from all across the United States. The Lincoln Highway BUY-WAY Sale runs Aug. 8-10. An added bonus to be enjoyed while visiting in the Van Wert area is the sixth annual Van Wert Rib Fest. The rib cook-off will be from noon to midnight Aug. 3 and Aug. 4 at the Van Wert County Fairgrounds. There will be eight rib vendors and seven bands performing at the rib fest. The feature
band is The Earthquakers from Erie, Pa. Other activities include a euchre tournament, a corporate tug-of-war competition, a Friday evening cruise-in, a youth wiffle ball tournament and a corn hole tournament, a car show and motorcycle poker run, pig races and much more. On Aug. 4, the Van Wert County Historical Society is sponsoring its fifth annual Antique Tractor Ride. The all-day ride will cover 30 miles of Van Wert County countryside. Agriculture is the backbone of Van Wert County and this parade of pre-1970 tractors celebrates the contributions made by area farmers. For information about any of these events, call the Van Wert Area Convention and Visitors Bureau at (877) 989-2282. Make plans now to attend a Native American Gathering and Encampment in Sidney Sept. 6-9. This four-day event kicks off with a presentation by Smithsonian curator emeritus Dr. Herman Viola, who will present a program on the migration of Native Americans to the West. A specialist on the history of the American West, Viola served as director of the museum’s National Anthropological Archives in addition to the organization’s two major exhibitions for the Smithsonian. “Magnificent Voyagers” told the story of the United States exploring expedition of 1838-42, and “Seeds of Change” examined the exchange of plants, animals, and diseases between the Old and the
2012 FREE Show Next to Gazebo
New Worlds as a result of Christopher Columbus’s voyages of discovery. Viola will deliver his program at the Lehman High School auditorium, 2400 St. Marys Ave., beginning at 7 p.m. on Sept. 6. An outdoor encampment at the Shelby County Fairgrounds, 655 S. Highland Ave., will feature Native American foods, storytelling, living history programs, performances and crafts. The encampment begins the evening of Sept. 7 and continues through late afternoon Sept 9. At the Ross Historical Center, 201 N. Main Ave., exhibits depicting everyday life of Native Americans in Shelby County will be on display. The Ross Center will be open Sept. 6-7 from 1 to 5 p.m., Sept. 8 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sept. 9 from 1 to 4 p.m. Additional information regarding the Gathering and Encampment can be obtained by contacting the Shelby County Historical Society at (937) 498-1653 or www.shelbycountyhistory.org. Also offered in Sidney the weekend of Sept. 7-9 is the annual Applefest. This family-friendly festival features free entertainment, a kids activities area, car show, craft area, wood carvers exhibit, quilt show, and parade. A farm market and variety of apple-themed food and drink are available all weekend long. Additional information about the 2012 Applefest can be obtained at www.shelbyapplefest.com

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, July 14, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a playful, fun-loving, flirtatious day! This also is a wonderful day for creative projects, arts and crafts, sports and anything to do with writing or working with your hands. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Family discussions will go extremely well today. This also is a very good day to take care of repairs at home or to make things look more beautiful where you live. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You can make money from your words today. Therefore, this is a good day for writers, teachers, actors, editors and anyone in sales and marketing. It’s also a good day for those of you who drive for a living. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Trust your moneymaking ideas today. You’ll have no trouble persuading others to go along with your plans, because your words are so sweet today. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Relations with partners and close friends are warm and friendly today, in large measure because you’re unusually diplomatic and charming. (Naturally, everyone wants to sit at your table.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Research will be enjoyable and productive today. You might be very pleased to discover something you were looking for. Yay, me! LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a wonderful day to schmooze with others, especially in group settings. Small coffee get-togethers, classes or large conferences will be very pleasant experiences. Enjoy your day. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police are surprisingly willing to hear what you have to say today. You sound knowledgeable and reasonable (like you know what you’re talking about). SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You’ll adore any kind of study or learning today because you want to expand your mind. Romance with someone from another culture might blossom. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a very good day to discuss how to share something, especially inheritances, insurance disputes or shared property. People are fair-minded and reasonable today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A casual partnership could become more committed today. All discussions with others will be particularly friendly and warm. Enjoy interacting with everyone. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Co-workers are supportive and helpful today. Therefore, you might as well make the best use of this by asking for help or introducing new projects you want to propose. (Make hay while the sun shines.) YOU BORN TODAY You’re so convincing that you’re seductive. People listen to you! Your easy charm makes others admire you and want to be in your company. You’re a natural storyteller, and you know how to relate to all walks of life. You also understand the power of magic and illusion. Your year ahead might be one of the most powerful years of your life. Dream big! Birthdate of: Angelique Kidjo, singer; Northrop Frye, literary critic; Pema Chodron, author/spiritual teacher.

The booklet on urinary

Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: We hear so much about the dangers of smoking, but nothing about the dangers of chewing tobacco. My son has done this since college. He is now 47. Please discuss the dangers and how he can stop. He does not have insurance or a doctor. — B.M. ANSWER: Smokeless tobacco — chewing tobacco, moist snuff placed between the gum and cheek, and dry snuff taken through the nose — is not what you’d consider to be health-enhancing. All contain nicotine, which is ab-
sorbed into the blood and has the same properties that inhaled nicotine has. It, along with other substances in these products, can promote heart disease and artery clogging. Oral cancer is another possible outcome. Various gum diseases might arise. Oral leukoplakia consists of thickened, white patches of many shapes and sizes that spring up on the gums, the inner cheeks, the tongue and the lips. Leukoplakia is a precancerous condition. One good thing about smokeless tobacco is that it doesn’t promote lung cancer. Addiction to smokeless tobacco is as strong as the addiction to smoking tobacco. Stopping the use of these products must be based on a strong personal motivation to want to stop. Your son can buy nicotine gum and nicotine patches to ease his desire for a nicotine hit. Neither of these items requires a prescription.
July 13, 1912 Great things have been announced and far greater things planned for the fifth annual Merchant’s picnic to be held July 25 at the Shelby County fairgrounds. The famous Heirguth Brothers have been secured to make balloon ascensions — one in the morning and another in the afternoon. The committee is seeking to complete arrangements with a local newspaperman to make one of the ascensions and the parachute drop from a great height. Our Shelby County aviator, Eddie Korn, may make an aero plane flight if proper arrangements can be made with him. ––––– Harry Harper is now the porter and shoe shiner at the Wagner Hotel Barber Shop.

Ex-Marine wants to re-enlist where tattoos welcome DEAR ABBY: My son is 24 and was honorably discharged as a corporal after a fouryear enlistment in the U.S. Marine Corps. He was deployed twice to Iraq. Since his return he has been attending community college, but he lacks the focus and is bored. He has recently announced that he would like to return to the military. When he approached the Marine recruiter to re-enlist, he was told he’s ineligible due to tattoos on his arms. After four years of honorable and
devoted service, this rejection is insulting. He has announced to family that he will pursue enlistment in the Dear French ForAbby eign Legion Abigail next year. Van Buren This is very distressing to me, and I’m sick with worry about his well-being. I do not want him to go off to fight in a foreign military. Can you offer any
words of wisdom? — WORRIED MOM IN GAINESVILLE, FLA. DEAR WORRIED MOM: Encourage your son to explore enlistment opportunities with other branches of the U.S. military regarding their tattoo policies. However, while you and I might consider his desire to join the French Foreign Legion to be an extreme overreaction to his rejection by the Marines, as an adult he has a right to make that choice. If he goes through with his plan, he may see less action
than he would as a member of the U.S. military. While I can’t make this easier for you as a parent, I do have this advice to offer. Tell your son it would be in his best interest to learn some basic French before he goes. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Jordan: 1992 team better than 2012 team
AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar
THIS IS a painting of former Penn State head football coach Joe Paterno on a mural by artists Michael Pilato and Yury Karabash, seen on Thursday in downtown State College, Pa. After an eight-month inquiry, former FBI director Louis Freeh's firm produced a 267-page report that concluded that Paterno and other top Penn State officials hushed up child sex abuse allegation against Jerry Sandusky more than a decade ago for fear of bad publicity, allowing Sandusky to prey on other youngsters.
PENN ful men at Penn State failed to take any steps for 14 years to protect the children who Sandusky victimized.” The findings of the $6.5 million, eight-month investigation into one of the biggest scandals in the history of college sports could further stain Paterno’s reputation. The revered coach who emphasized integrity both on and off the field and ran what was considered one of the cleanest programs in sports died of lung cancer in January at age 85, months after he was summarily fired by the trustees. Freeh said that while he regretted the damage the findings would do to Paterno’s “terrific legacy,” the coach “was an integral part of this active decision to conceal,” and his firing was justified. Asked whether the actions of the four officials amounted to a crime such as conspiracy or obstruction, Freeh said that would be a matter for a grand jury to decide. In a statement, Paterno’s family strongly denied he protected Sandusky for fear of bad publicity. “The idea that any sane, responsible adult would knowingly cover up for a child predator is impossible to accept. The far more realistic conclusion is that many people didn’t fully understand what was happening and underestimated or misinterpreted events,” the family said. “Sandusky was a great deceiver. He fooled everyone.” The findings could have consequences for the criminal case against Penn State athletic director Tim Curley and retired senior vice president Gary Schultz, who are awaiting trial on charges of failing to report abuse and lying to a grand jury. In addition, the Pennsylvania attorney general’s office is still investigating the scandal, and others could be charged. Freeh and his team, which included lawyers and former law enforcement officials, interviewed more than 430 people and reviewed more than 3.5 million emails, handwritten notes and other documents. Paterno died before he could be interviewed but testified before a grand jury. Sandusky is awaiting sentencing after being convicted last month of sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years. The investigation focused largely on the university offi-
From Page 1 cials’ decision not to go to childwelfare authorities in 2001 after a graduate coaching assistant told Paterno that he had seen Sandusky — a former assistant coach himself — sexually abusing a boy in the locker room showers. Paterno and the others gave various explanations for their decision, saying among other things that they misunderstood the allegations, that they did the best they could and that this was the “humane” way to handle the matter. But the Freeh report said: “It is more reasonable to conclude that, in order to avoid the consequences of bad publicity, the most powerful leaders at the university — Spanier, Schultz, Paterno and Curley — repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky’s child abuse from authorities, the university’s board of trustees, the Penn State community and the public at large.” A number of other factors contributed to the decision to keep quiet, the report found, including “a culture of reverence for the football program that is ingrained at all levels of the campus community.” Spreading the blame around, the report also said the trustees failed to exercise oversight and didn’t inquire deeply into the matter when they finally learned of it. Spanier’s lawyers Thursday denied Spanier took part in a cover-up and said Freeh’s conclusion “is simply not supported by the facts.” Spanier was ousted along with Paterno four days after Sandusky’s arrest last November. An attorney for Curley had no immediate comment, and a lawyer for Schultz did not return messages. Freeh said officials had opportunities in 1998 and 2001 to step in. In 1998, police investigated after a woman complained that her son had showered with Sandusky. The investigation did not result in charges. But the emails show Paterno clearly followed the 1998 case, Freeh said. University officials took no action at the time to limit Sandusky’s access to campus. Then, after the 2001 report of Sandusky sexually abusing a boy in the showers, university officials barred him from bringing children to campus but decided not to report him to child-welfare authorities.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Michael Jordan said there’s no way Kobe Bryant and this year’s USA Olympic basketball team could’ve beaten the 1992 Dream Team. Jordan told The Associated Press Thursday that he laughed — “I absolutely laughed” — when hearing Bryant’s comments that the squad training in Las Vegas could take Jordan and company. Jordan said there’s “no comparison” which team is better. “For him to compare those two teams is not one of the smarter things he ever could have done,” Jordan said prior playing in a celebrity golf tournament in Charlotte. Jordan said the 1992 team, which included 11 future Hall of Famers and won its six Olympic games by an average of more than 43 points en route to capturing the gold medal, was a better overall team largely because of the experience it put on the floor. “I heard Kobe say we were not athletic,” said a smiling Jordan as he sat in a golf cart puffing on his cigar while waiting to tee off. “But we were smart. He said we were too old, but I was 29 and in the prime of my career. Pip (Scottie Pippen) was 26 or 27, (Charles) Barkley was 29, Patrick (Ewing) was 29 and Chris Mullin was 29. Almost everybody was still in their twenties.” See JORDAN/Page 14

Jordan tells the Associated Press that he laughed when heard Kobe Bryant said this year’s USA Olympic basketball team could beat the Dream Team that Jordan played on. Jordan said. “It’s not even a question” who would have won that game. “We had 11 Hall of Famers on that team. Whenever they get 11 Hall of Famers you call and ask me.”

CLEVELAND (AP) — Indians pitcher Nick Hagadone will be out at least two months after having surgery to fix a broken left arm the team says he injured in frustration. Hagadone had a screw inserted into his broken left forearm, which he hurt following an appearance last week against Tampa Bay. Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said the left-hander’s injury was “self-inflicted.” The Indians optioned Hagadone to the minor leagues and then placed him on their minor league disqualification list. The Indians claim they don’t have to pay him while he’s sidelined. The baseball players’ union may file a grievance against the club if it withholds Hagadone’s pay. His next scheduled payday is Sunday. Hagadone’s contract is worth $480,500 in the major leagues and $78,250 in the minors.

Excerpts from the Penn State report
ROSSBURG — Race Fans 4 Freedom, a project of Public Notice Research and Educational Fund, is going to Eldora Speedway for The King’s Royal: World of Outlaws sprint races in Darke County. Race Fans 4 Freedom is uniting fans to help get America back on track, driving fans to make their voices heard above partisan politics. “Race fans in Ohio know that the values of competition, teamwork and personal responsibility are what every winning driver needs to succeed. Those same values that make racing great are exactly what’s needed in Washington to kick the dirt off our economy. If Washington wanted to get our economic engines revving, they should take a break from the mudslinging and listen to the fans at the dirt track.” said Elizabeth Dyar, strategy and outreach manager for Race Fans 4 Freedom.

JORDAN Jordan’s response came after Bryant told reporters in Las Vegas that this year’s team could pull out a win against the Dream Team if they faced each other in their primes. Bryant said this year’s team has a bunch of racehorses, players who are incredibly athletic while the Dream Team consisted mainly of players at the tail end of their careers.”
From Page 13 Bryant’s comments received immediate and sharp rebuttal from some members of the Dream Team, including Barkley. Jordan joined in on Thursday. “Most of us were in the prime of our careers, at a point where athleticism doesn’t really matter,” said Jordan, the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats. “You have to know how to play the game.”

Hornish has chance to get back to Cup in No. 22 BY JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Sam Hornish Jr. sent team owner Roger Penske a text message a day after AJ Allmendinger’s suspension making clear his desire: If a failed drug test keeps Allmendinger sidelined, Hornish wants to drive the No. 22 Dodge. He is getting his chance this weekend at New Hampshire, where Penske has tabbed Hornish to again fill the seat vacated Saturday night when Allmendinger was suspended hours before the race at Daytona. “I sent Roger a text, basically saying if they needed me, I’d be more than willing to figure out how to make it work,” Hornish said. “I had to speak up because I didn’t want anybody else to step in there, or anybody else to have the chance to step in there because I didn’t say anything.” This is a fresh opportunity for Hornish, who has been trying to rebuild his career the last two years. He spent almost all of last season without a ride as sponsorship difficulties at Penske made Hornish the odd man out in the organization. It was a huge fall for one of the most decorated American drivers in IndyCar history. Hornish left that series for NASCAR at the
end of the 2007 season armed with three championships, and 19 victories including the 2006 Indianapolis 500. His desire for a new challenge led Penske to move Hornish to his NASCAR operation, where he immediately struggled and failed to show enough improvement to warrant a seat in the elite Sprint Cup Series. In three seasons, he had just eight top-10 finishes in 106 starts. His highest points finish was 28th in 2009. Penske kept him on, and the organization worked all of last season trying to build a program for Hornish. It came together in the Nationwide Series, where Hornish this season is running the full schedule. Through 16 races, he has nine top-10 finishes and is ranked fourth in the standings. Yet the Sprint Cup Series is where Hornish wants to be, and he got the call last Saturday to get to Daytona in a hurry. Hornish had finished 10th in Friday night’s Nationwide race and returned home to North Carolina. Penske officials pulled him out of a Charlotte television studio, where he was an analyst on a live television program, and flew him back to Daytona International Speedway. He got to Allmendinger’s car minutes before he had to get inside and drove someone

else’s car on almost no notice. Even though a cut tire led to his 33rd-place finish, Hornish cherished the opportunity. “You know, I was on the lake in the morning, doing a TV show in the afternoon and got to race at Daytona at night,” he said. “All in all, that’s not that bad of a day.” This time, he has a week to prepare. Penske Racing decided it was in the best interest of the team to name a replacement driver for Sunday even before Allmendinger’s situation with NASCAR is resolved. Allmendinger failed a random drug test taken June 29, and his business manager said Wednesday the driver tested positive for a stimulant. Allmendinger has asked for his “B” urine sample to be tested, and his suspension stands at least through that process. Hornish isn’t viewing this opportunity as anything more than a chance to get some seat time in the Cup Series.

Airstream opens door to Brazil BY TERRY PELLMAN JACKSON CENTER — The travel trailers by manufactured Airstream Inc. of Jackson Center are already considered icons of American culture. The sleek, shiny aluminum models are seen in campgrounds and highways all over the United States, Canada, Mexico and even other continents. As a result of participation in a recent trade mission, Airstream products may eventually become a more common sight in the South American nation of Brazil. The Ohio Department of Development’s Office of Business Assistance invited the firm to be one of the Ohio companies to take part in a recent series of trade missions to Brazil, Chile, Columbia and India. Airstream’s mission to Brazil was headed up by company executive Justin Humphreys. He was able to meet with potential distributors

Humphreys has found that it is not at all unusual for the company to receive inquiries from people in other countries, but many come from Brazil, and exploring the potential to expand business into that country seems to be a logical move.
Humphreys explains that Brazil’s middle class is emerging as an economic force in the nation of around 200 million, the fifth-largest nation in the world. There is much diversity within that population, and a visitor will meet many residents of Japanese and European ethnicity. Around 80 percent of the population lives in

its cities, but Humphreys noted that the size of the lush farms would dazzle Americans. That agricultural powerhouse section of the Brazilian economy is fostering some of the growing affluence. Most of the economic activity takes place in the southern portion of the country. Humphreys spent much of his time there in the Sao Paulo area. Humphreys assumes that it will take some time for Brazil to transition into the type of culture that will provide a thriving market for Airstream travel trailers. As the economy there moves forward, the demand for another type of recreation will likely take advantage of improved highways being developed in part by the high taxes. The nation, larger than our lower fortyeight states, does not have an infrastructure of interstate highways and an endless choice of campgrounds such as Americans take for granted. Entrepreneurs
will fill that void. Just imagine hooking up your travel trailer and heading for the Amazon or the rain forest for a family outing. Of course, the coasts, beaches and magnificent waterfalls there are also big tourist draws. Brazil recently changed its laws governing the towing of travel trailers and the licensing to do so. That regulatory change has the potential of expanding the recreational vehicle market in a major nation. Humphreys points out that Brazil is poised to benefit economically from upcoming scheduled events. The next World Cup of Soccer will commence there in two years, and the Olympics will be held in Brazil in four years as well. Overall, the nation has the distinct potential to develop into an economic powerhouse and a growing trading partner for the United States. Much advance research was provided by development officials for the companies taking part in the trade missions. The companies were asked to provide some feedback on how they would like to market products and distribute them. The trade officials were then able to match up companies with what appeared to be potential partners and customers. Humphreys has high praise for Ohio’s state officials who facilitated the mission opportunity. The Airstream delegation met with a company with the potential to distribute their units. That company has already visited the Jackson Center factory. No agreements are in place, but
progress is now possible. There are currently no Airstream dealerships in Brazil, and importing such items requires a challenging import process. The delegation from Airstream was greeted by the presence of an older Airstream trailer that was imported and brought on site for the occasion. It was accompanied by some toy Airstream models. The excitement of potentially having better access to Airstream was pronounced. Humphreys explains that Brazil’s tax structure provides some challenges in marketing such up-scale items as a high quality travel trailer. Sales taxes can range from 50 to 70 percent of the price. For a nation like Brazil, one whose inhabitants enjoy some luxury, that tax level is an everyday fact of life. He saw that sports cars, fashion products and high-end watches are widely marketed there. Land Rovers, for example, are popular vehicles, in spite of the taxes involved. Humphreys was told that to purchase that vehicle in Brazil, a customer would end up paying three times as much as an American consumer. Those taxes are put toward the cost of providing the infrastructure needed to make Brazil a fully modern nation. Right now, 1,000 to 2,000 recreational vehicles are sold in Brazil per year. Due to that recently resolved licensing issue for travel trailers, many recreational vehicles used in Brazil are the self-driven and more costly motor homes.

Eagle Scout projects benefit Shelby County Fairgrounds BY KATHY LEESE The fairgrounds will have some new features this year when the 2012 Shelby County Fair begins — thanks to the hard work of two young men working toward their Eagle Scout awards. Curtis Koewler, 14, decided to work on a flagpole for the fairgrounds after learning from Shelby County Emergency Management Agency Director Marc Burdiss, his former scoutmaster, that they did not have one. Curtis, who lives with his grandparents, Sam and Sandy Rose, of Sidney, is a member of Boy Scout Troop 1910 at Fairlawn School, where he has been a member for seven years.
