Pork Producers honored by Ohio treasurer at fair BY LEE JONES The fair continued strong despite the heat Wednesday after the heavy showers the day before. With the day’s heat came fanfare for the Pork Producers from Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel’s office. Mandel’s regional representative Joe Forkin presented a proclamation to the Pork Producers commending them for the hard work it took to erect the second livestock arena. The building was finished in 2011. Tony Bornhorst, spokesperson for the group, was grateful for the recognition. “It’s very nice that people recognize we’re contributing to the community,” he said, “I’m proud the pork producers are

giving back to the community.” Bornhorst said the building is nice for exhibitors presenting their livestock projectst here, and for their friends and family who watch the shows. • Packin’ ’em in at the fair, Page 7A A small crowd gathered at the group’s • Rides and games are fun on the booth for the announcement. county fair midway, Pages 8-9A Elsewhere, a few kids milled about • Lip smacking good baked goods, the fairway and food area during the Pages 10-11A hight of the afternoon’s heat.

Dispatch consoles to be updated Sheriff John Lenhart announced Wednesday Shelby County Commissioners have approved the sheriff’s department’s request to upgrade 21year-old dispatch consoles at the local emergency dispatch center. The center upgrade will include computer-based dispatch consoles to replace the large desk size units currently in use. “They will be easier to use and will prepare us for the next generation of communications equipment standards and changes,” the sheriff said. “Each position will handle both dispatching and call tak-

ing, improving our redundancy as we currently have only two radio consoles in dispatch,” he said. “The third position’s radio equipment was not replaced when it failed three years ago.” Lenhart said sheriff’s office personnel are working now to prepare specifications for the new consoles so bids may be sought. Costs of the upgrade have been estimated at about $250,000. The department hopes to have the new consoles installed and operational by early next spring, the sheriff said.

BOE begins process to repair buildings In a special session early Wednesday morning, the Sidney City Board of Education adopted an emergency resolution to forego formal bidding procedures to repair roof damage at Emerson and Whittier elementary school buildings. Supterintendent John Scheu said the board is still considering bids for the project and will soon award a contract to repair recent

wind storm damage at the two schools. The board also accepted the resignation of Brandy Cairns as an intervention specialist and awarded a one year contract for the 2012-13 school year to Shaun Dunlap at a salary of $34,588 to fill the position. A scheduled executive session was not held by the board Wednesday.

Pet of the Week MUNICIPAL COURT Winnie is a Lab mix believed to be about 3 years old. She came to the shelter as a stray but is very loving and craves attention, Shelby County Animal Shelter officials said. She will rub up against the cage door as anyone walks by, just begging to be petted. She is pretty good on a leash and acts as if she is already housebroken. She is great with other dogs and cats. Stop by the Shelby County Animal Shelter Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon and visit with this dog and others to see if they would be a nice fit for you and your family.

1 bridge bomb plot suspect pleads guilty AKRON (AP) — One of five men charged with plotting to bomb an Ohio highway bridge pleaded guilty Wednesday and agreed to testify against his co-defendants. Anthony Hayne, 35, of Cleveland, who has a criminal record for theft and breaking and entering, pleaded to all three counts against him in U.S. District Court. His attorney, Michael O’Shea, said Hayne hopes to get leniency in return for his testimony. Under the terms of the surprise plea deal, Hayne will have the chance to avoid a life prison term.

But I’m relatively confident none of these people had any desires to actually hurt anybody.” O”Shea said Hayne was a latecomer to the alleged plot and, as such, had the least standing to argue that he had been manipulated by an FBI informant as other defendants have contended.

OHIO NEWS BRIEFS Parents to attend event

The five were charged with plotting to bomb a bridge linking two wealthy Cleveland suburbs by placing what they thought were real explosives at the site and repeatedly trying to detonate them using text messages from cellphones, according to the FBI affidavit. The FBI said the suspects bought the explosives — actually fake — from an undercover employee and put them at the base of a highway bridge over the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, about 15 miles south of downtown Cleveland. After leaving the park, they tried to initi-

ate the explosives using a text-message detonation code, and they called the person who provided the bombs to check the code when it failed, according to the FBI affidavit. The men also discussed other potential targets, including a law enforcement center, oil wells, a cargo ship or the opening of a new downtown casino, according to a prosecution affidavit. The five had been associated with Occupy Cleveland, but organizers of the movement have tried to distance the group from the men. They say the five didn't represent it or its nonviolent philosophy.

CINCINNATI (AP) — The parents of an unarmed black Florida teenager who was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer plan to participate in a town hall in southwest Ohio on violence and racial healing. It’s unclear whether Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton will speak Wednesday at the Children’s Defense Fund’s national conference in downtown Cincinnati. The February shooting of their son, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, led to nationwide protests over race and self-defense laws after police didn’t arrest the shooter, George Zimmerman, for more than a month. Zimmerman now faces a charge of second-degree murder and has pleaded not guilty. He claims that Martin attacked him, saying he was defending himself under Florida’s “stand your ground” law.

called the men anarchists, and investigators say the group planted what turned out to be a dud bomb provided by an FBI undercover informant on a bridge south of Cleveland and then tried to detonate it. The defendants could face life in prison if convicted. U.S. Attorney Steven M. Dettelbach said the government would now turn its attention to proving the case against the other four men. “We are pleased with today’s guilty plea and are prepared to prove the allegations against the remaining defendants,” he said in an emailed comment.

Driver blames car

LIMA (AP) — The 63-year-old driver whose car plowed into a crowd at a northwest Ohio street festival says she wasn’t intoxicated and she believes a mechanical problem with the vehicle is to blame. More than two dozen people were injured in the June 15 crash in Lima, about 70 miles southwest of Toledo. Police have said it appeared to be an accident. The driver has told The Lima News she was picking up her son when the crash occurred and wasn’t drinking or on drugs at the time. She volunteered to take a blood test then to prove it, and police are awaiting the results. The driver says she couldn’t stop the car, and she believes a mechanical problem caused the crash. She has not been charged.

Smoking ban stands

COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court won’t reconsider its ruling declaring Ohio’s smoking ban constitutional. The high court on Wednesday denied a request by a Columbus tavern owner to revisit the May decision on the ban. Justices ruled unanimously on the question, rejecting claims by Richard Allen and his business, Bartec Inc., that the smoking ban was supposed to be enforced against smokers, not business. Allen’s tavern, also known as Zeno’s Victorian Village, was cited 10 times between July 2007 and September 2009 for violations of the ban and faced fines of $33,000. On behalf of Bartec and Allen, the 1851 Center for Constitutional Law claimed the fines were an illegal taking of property, violating the state’s legitimate police powers. The center’s argument was rejected.

Rock to be removed ATHENS (AP) — Officials are seeking federal funding to remove a massive rock from a southeast Ohio cliff where a similar boulder fell and crushed a car in March. They’ve been monitoring the hill in Athens since a boulder weighing roughly 100 tons crashed onto a car and damaged a home, utility poles, a water line and other vehicles. No one was hurt. The Athens Messenger reports the state has requested federal mine reclamation funding to remove a rock that’s still on the cliff, which was created by clay mining. The estimated removal cost is $100,000. The head of the city’s Department of Engineering and Public Works says the remaining boulder is about the same size as the one that fell and has been cracked and undercut by erosion.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Bears trash home in Bearsville BEARSVILLE, N.Y. (AP) — The upstate New York hamlet of Bearsville is living up to its name. The Times-Herald Record of Middletown reports that a mother bear and her cubs trashed a family's home in Bearsville several times earlier this month. The Knowles family arrived at their home on July 13 to find that their kitchen had been ransacked by bears. They later went out for dinner, and upon returning they found the house trashed all over again. They cleaned up the mess and went out again the next day. They returned in the evening to find the home trashed yet again by the bears. State wildlife specialists decided the mother bear was now a nuisance and would have to be killed. They fired two shots at the bear but missed. She and her cubs haven't been back since then.

PRESIDENT BARACK Obama shakes hands after addressing the National Urban League Conference in New Orleans, Wednesday.

GOP puts Obama on defense WASHINGTON (AP) — Relentless GOP criticism of a 12day-old remark about business owners has taken a campaign toll on President Barack Obama, forcing him to defend himself and giving Republican Mitt Romney a break from steady attacks. The development has delighted Republicans, who were eager to shift the campaign focus from Romney’s tax returns, overseas assets and Bain Capital record. Acknowledging that the Republican’s criticisms were hitting a mark, Obama’s team rolled out two new TV ads this week in which he employed for the first time what many Democrats consider a powerful tool: the president talking directly into the camera and countering GOP claims. “Those ads taking my words about small business out of context — they’re flat-out wrong,” Obama says in the newest ad. Democrats say the “directto-camera” format plays to the president’s strength, and they don’t think Romney can match

it. But like any strategy deployed 15 weeks before Election Day, it might lose some of its impact over time. In the immediate future, Democrats hope Obama’s response will help him move past the flap about business owners. But Romney aides kept up the pressure Wednesday, sponsoring 24 events on the topic while Romney was overseas. Democratic strategists acknowledged Wednesday that Obama was being hurt, at least a little, by Romney’s repeated jabs at comments the president made in Virginia on July 13, which originally drew little notice. “If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that,” Obama said, in part. “Somebody else made that happen.” Most GOP attacks ignored the broader context of the speech. In it, Obama discussed a favorite theme: the claim that infragovernment-assisted structure including roads, research and schools help sustain American society, including private enterprise.

LONDON (AP) — Mitt Romney — a one-term governor untested on the world’s political stage — faces high stakes in the coming week during visits to England, Israel and Poland. It’s a trip that amounts to an international audition. The Republican presidential candidate is seeking to persuade voters back home to elect him their leader in a complex, dangerous world. And his trip will invite comparisons to Barack Obama’s successful overseas 2008 tour before he won the White House. Romney, whose decades in private business gave him ample exposure to international affairs, hopes to prove that he is no novice on foreign policy. At the same time he’ll be highlighting a key part of his resume — the successful Salt Lake City Olympics he managed — with a visit to the opening days of the London Games. He’s also planned a series of meetings — and photo events — with political leaders in the three countries he’s visiting in hopes of projecting an image of leadership. His itinerary is limited to a few tightly controlled appearances in countries that are close allies of the United States, suggesting that Romney knows there are risks as well as potential benefits to his trip. Romney will be visiting two countries in Europe, a region he’s spent most of his campaign criticizing. Beyond that, he’s certain to face pressure to outline where he stands on such weighty matters as missile defense, Afghanistan troop levels, violence raging in

No medical bills for some shooting victims DENVER (AP) — Some of the victims fighting for their lives after being wounded in the movie-theater shooting rampage may face another challenge when they get out of the hospital: enormous medical bills without the benefit of health insurance. Members of the public, along with Warner Bros., the studio that released the Batman movie “The Dark Knight Rises,” have contributed nearly $2 million to help victims, though it’s not clear how much of that will cover medical expenses. One family is raising money on its own online. And three of the five hospitals that treated victims said Wednesday they will limit or completely wipe out medical bills. Some of the victims, however, still face a long recovery ahead and the associated medical costs — without health insurance. There’s no exact count of how many of them don’t have insurance but sta-

tistics suggest many of them might not be covered. Nearly one in three Coloradans, or about 1.5 million, either have no health insurance or have coverage that is inadequate, according to a 2011 report by The Colorado Trust, a health care advocacy group. The highest uninsured rate was among adults between 18 and 34 and many of those injured in the shootings are in that age group. State officials said they are not sure whether any of the victims qualify for emergency Medicaid assistance available to needy patients. Victims could also get financial assistance from a state program that helps people hurt during crimes, including lost wages and counseling. Among the uninsured victims of the movie-theater attack is a 23-year-old aspiring comic, Caleb Medley, who is in critical condition with a head wound and whose wife, Katie,

gave birth to their first child, Hugo, on Tuesday. His family and friends said they have set a goal of raising $500,000 to cover his hospital bills and other expenses and were over halfway there on Wednesday. “All the money that is donated is going straight to Caleb, Katie and Hugo to help them with medical bills, getting back on their feet, help with the baby items,” friend Michael West said. “Anything and everything that they need.” Children’s Hospital Colorado announced it would use donations and its charity care fund to cover the medical expenses of the uninsured. For those who do have insurance, the hospital says it will waive all co-pays. “We are committed to supporting these families as they heal,” according to a statement from the hospital, which treated six shooting victims.

Syria, the nuclear threat from Iran and the Middle East peace process, putting him on the spot to add details to a foreign policy vision that so far has been short on them. He also faces the tricky task of contrasting himself with Obama while staying true to his promise not to openly assail the president while on foreign soil, honoring longstanding tradition that American politicians don’t criticize their government while abroad. Drawing implicit contrasts with the president also could be difficult because Romney has so far not outlined sharp foreign policy differences with his Democratic opponent. “I don’t want to be in any way critical of the president or to be fashioning foreign policy departure from the president, while I’m on foreign soil,” Romney told NBC News during a Wednesday interview in London when asked about how he would help Israel as president. “But I can tell you that, that with regards to any nation that, that feels its security is at risk that they should have a firm conviction that America is securely behind them.” The sheer logistics of putting together an overseas political trip could stress a campaign still trying to transition from the primary season and struggling to compete against Obama’s battle-tested re-election machine. Anything short of flawlessness could raise questions about whether Romney and his team are ready to go head-to-head against Obama this fall, whether they’re “ready for prime time.”

NK leader is married SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea said its new, young leader Kim Jong Un is married, announcing it for the first time in a brief and routine state TV report Wednesday evening that ends weeks of speculation about a beautiful woman who accompanied him to recent public events. Kim toured an amusement park with his “wife, comrade Ri Sol Ju” on Tuesday, while a crowd cheered for the leader, the speaker said without giving any more details about Ri, including how long they had been married. Seven months after inheriting the country from his father, Kim Jong Il, the 20-something leader has been shown in the media several times with the young woman, including at a concert where Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters appeared and at tours of various North Korean sites.

Judge appoints temporary guardian for Jackson children LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge on Wednesday intervened in the turmoil roiling the Jackson family, appointing the son of Tito Jackson to serve as temporary guardian of Michael Jackson’s children in the absence of the family matriarch and in the midst a feud over the pop superstar’s estate. Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff temporarily suspended Katherine Jackson as the children’s guardian because she was in Arizona and hadn’t spoken with them in several days. He appointed Tito Joe “TJ” Jackson to serve as temporary guardian with the ability to control the hilltop home where the children live and to take on other supervision duties. Beckloff said there was no evidence that Katherine Jackson had done anything wrong but instead it appeared she was being prevented from fulfilling her role as guardian through the “intentional acts of third parties.” He didn’t elaborate

but made the decision after reading court filings in which TJ Jackson expressed concern that Katherine Jackson was being prevented from returning He cited a Monday incident in which Janet, Randy and Jermaine Jackson arrived at the children’s home and told them they could speak with their grandmother but had to leave with them. “This was odd and disturbing to me and (the children) and heightened our concern that our grandmother was being prohibited from returning home,” TJ Jackson wrote in a sworn statement. Beckloff listened as attorneys described Katherine Jackson’s demeanor as unusual on phone calls placed to the children hours before the hearing. TJ Jackson’s attorney Charles Shultz also revealed in court filings that the children were forced to miss school Wednesday because of concerns about their security. Shultz wrote in a filing that around 3:30 a.m. a new security

team arrived at the Jackson home in suburban Calabasas claiming they had been authorized by Katherine Jackson to take charge. He wrote that the guards asked about the children’s school. “That last inquiry caused the head of security to be concerned and he advised that (the children) stay home from school on Wednesday.” Beckloff ruled the Jackson children could not leave California without court approval. Katherine Jackson’s attorney Perry Sanders Jr. said after the hearing that he spoke with his client as she was driving back to Los Angeles from Tucson, Ariz., where she had been since July 15. “She sounded absolutely fine, lucid and her normal self,” he said. Sanders plans to ask the court to reinstate Katherine Jackson as guardian of the children when she is back in Los Angeles. He was looking forward to meeting with her in person on Thursday.

‘Medical Center’ Sherman Hemsley of TV’s actor dies ‘The Jeffersons’ dies LOS ANGELES (AP) — Chad Everett, the blue-eyed star of the 1970s TV series “Medical Center” who went on to appear in such films and TV shows as “Mulholland Drive” and “Melrose Place,” has died. He was 75. Everett’s daughter, Katherine Thorp, said he died Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles after a year-and-a-halflong battle with lung cancer. Everett played sensitive surgeon Joe Gannon for seven seasons on “Medical Center.” The role earned him Golden Globe nominations in 1971 and 1973. With a career spanning more than 40 years, Everett guest starred on such TV series as “The Love Boat,” ”Murder, She Wrote” and “Without a Trace.” Everett most recently appeared on the TV shows “Castle” and “Supernatural,” where he appeared as an older version of Jensen Ackles’ character

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — George Jefferson was a bigot. A loudmouth. Rude. Obsessed with money. Arrogant. And yet he was one of the most enjoyable, beloved characters in television history. Much of that credit belongs to Sherman Hemsley, the gifted character actor who gave life to the blustering black Harlem businessman on “The Jeffersons,” one of TV’s longest running and most successful sitcoms — particularly noteworthy with its mostly black cast. The Philadelphia-born Hemsley, who police said late Tuesday died at his home in El Paso, Texas, at age 74, first played George Jefferson on CBS’s “All in the Family” before he was spun off onto “The Jeffersons.” The sitcom ran for 11 seasons from 1975 to 1985. With the gospel-style theme song of “Movin’ On Up,” the hit show depicted

Ride sparks posthumous debate on coming out BY DAVID CRARY AP National Writer

bian. “While there is still discrimination and coming out will still have repercussions, the effect of those repercussions are vastly reduced now,” Robinson said. “I believe that times have changed.” There’s no question that gays and lesbians overall are coming out now at a higher rate and an earlier age than those of previous generations. According to the LGBT Movement Advancement Project, adults aged 30-54 are 16 times more likely to be closeted than those under 30. In pop culture, the fine arts, the entertainment industry, and in some individual sports, it’s now commonplace for luminaries to be out as gay or lesbian. But in many other fields, the dynamics are different. Aside from Ride, no other astronaut of any nation has come out as gay. No active player in the four major North American pro sports leagues — football, basketball, baseball, hockey — has come out as gay, though some retired players have done so. Ken Mehlman came out as gay only after he completed his stint as chairman of the Republican National Committee. Back in 2002, baseball star Mike Piazza — then playing with the New York Mets — rebutted rumors by holding a news conference to declare, “I’m not gay.” Queen Latifah, the hip-hop star and ac-

the wealthy former neighbors of Archie and Edith Bunker in Queens as they made their way on New York’s Upper East Side. Hemsley and the Jeffersons (Isabel Sanford played his wife) often dealt with contemporary issues of racism, but more frequently reveled in the sitcom archetype of a short-tempered, opinionated patriarch trying, often unsuccessfully to control his family. Hemsley’s feisty, diminutive father with an exaggerated strut was a kind of black corollary to Archie Bunker — a stubborn, high-strung man who had a deep dislike for whites (his favorite word for them was honkies). Yet unlike the blue-collar Bunker, played by Carroll O’Connor, he was a sucbusinessman cessful whose was as rich as he was crass. His wife, Weezie, was often his foil — yet provided plenty of zingers as well. Despite the character’s many faults — money-driven, prejudiced, temperamental, a boor — Hemsley managed to make the character endearing, part of the reason it stayed on the air for so long. Much like O’Connor’s portrayal of Archie Bunker, deep down, Hemsley’s Jefferson loved his family, his friends (even the ones he relentlessly teased) and had a good heart. His performance was Emmy and Golden Globe nominated. “He was a love of a guy” and “immensely talented,” Norman Lear, producer of “The Jeffersons” and “All in the Family,” said after learning of his death. El Paso police said the actor was found dead at a local home where neighbors said he’d lived for years, and that no foul play is suspected. “When the Jeffersons moved in next door to the Bunkers, I wanted to deliver the George Jefferson who could stand up to Archie Bunker,” Lear recalled Tuesday. “It took

He was 74. some weeks before I remembered having seen Sherman in ‘Purlie’ on Broadway.” Hemsley read for the part and “the minute he opened his mouth he was George Jefferson,” Lear said. Hemsley was smaller than O’Connor’s Archie but “he was every bit as strong as Archie,” Lear said. Sherman Alexander Hemsley, though, was far less feisty. The son of a printing press-working father and a factory-working mother, Hemsley served in the Air Force and worked for eight years as a clerk for the Postal Service. Having studied acting as an adolescent at the Philadelphia Academy of Dramatic Arts, he began acting in New York workshops and theater companies, including the Negro Ensemble Company. For years, he kept his job at

the post office while acting at night, before transitioning to acting full-time. He made his Broadway debut in 1970’s “Purlie,” a musical adaptation of Ossie Davis’ Jim Crowera play “Purlie Victorious.” (Hemsley would later star in a 1981 madefor-TV version of “Purlie,” as well.) It was while touring the show that Hemsley was approached by Lear about playing a character on the sitcom that would become “All in the Family.” Hemsley joined the show in 1973, immediately catapulting himself from an obscure theater actor to a hit character on the enormously popular show. Two years later, “The Jeffersons” was spun off. Among the numerous “All in the Family” spinoffs (“Maude,” ”Archie Bunker’s Place, “704 Hauser”), “The Jeffersons” was the longest-running.

Packin’ ’em in at the fair BY KATHY LEESE Carload night at the Shelby County Fair seems to bring out the creativity in people and this year was no different. According to Barb Heilers, fair board treasurer, this year’s carload night brought in 231 vehicles, down from 323 vehicles last year. “I really think it was the weather,” Heilers said, referring to the rain that dampened the fairgrounds earlier on Tuesday. The carload night was held from 4 to 9 p.m. Tuesday and those participating paid $30 to get all the individuals who could fit in a vehicle through the gate. Jeremy Reese, who along with Mike Hoelscher, took care of the gates for carload night, finds it interesting watching people as they load up to ride through the gate. “ It’s a menagerie of things,” Reese said. “The biggest vehicle this year was 44 or 46 people on it. That was a Class C motor home.” Another vehicle not only had people, but baby strollers, a wheelchair, and one woman in the vehicle had her walker hanging off the edge of the truck, making sure she got to go to the fair. Reese said there were cars with three or four people in them and ton pickup trucks with 20 to 30 people in it. “One time we had a grain truck,” Reese said, loaded with approximately 60 people. It takes creativity to load everyone in the vehicle. “They … kind of pile on everywhere,” Reese said. He noted there are

day for us,” Reese said. Jerry Schaffner, fair board secretary, said, “I think the rain chased a lot of people away.” But Schaffner seemed thankful the rain did not hit at 5 p.m. Reese invited everyone out

tonight to watch mud bog in front of the grandstand. Those wishing to register to participate should call the fair office by 2 p.m. for information. There is a registration fee. “We provide a mud pit for everybody to play.”

Rides and games are fun … BY LEE JONES It is necessary that a county fair have plentry of interesting rides for the scores of youthful fairgoers to enjoy. And Shelby County’s fair does not disappoint. There are simple, slow rides like merry-gorounds, the Ferris wheel, and the Musik Express, which blasts classic tunes while kids go around a track in linked cars. But the rides that get the most attention are the fast and gravity de-

fying rides. There is the Loop-OPlane, which consists of two pivoting legs which send a “rocket” full of passengers up and over and down again. The most popular ride is Vertigo. It takes riders, belted into benches attached to the ride by cables, straight up into the air and spins them repeatedly as the entire ring of riders descends. Toby Griffieth and his friends were eager to ride it Wednesday. He said he likes to hang out in the midway.

But the midway is not all speedy rides. There are some that test riders’ balance. Seth Regula was spending his day in the midway. He shows sheep and steers and Wednesday was his only day off. Regula hopped on a mechanical surfboard, which operates much like the nearby mechanical bull. He lost his balance a few times. “I’m dizzy,” he said once his feet got on solid ground once more. Many other kids would probably agree with him.

thyroid gland in the neck to make thyroid hormone. If the thyroid gland is not working, the levels of TSH rise in an attempt to jump-start the gland. A high TSH indicates a low output of thyroid hormone. TSH is a reliable test. It has a sensitivity of 90 percent. That means nine out of 10 times the test reliably identifies a person with thyroid deficiency. It has a specificity of only 9 percent, which means that many people who do not have a low thyroid hormone output are not correctly identified as such. A confirmatory test for the TSH test is called a free T4 test. It measures the amount of thyroid hormone in the blood. Both tests yield definitive information. If all of this is confusing, just remember that two tests are better than one. After you are off your medicine for

July 26, 1912 A public playground for the children of Sidney is rapidly taking form. A committee of the City Federation of Women’s Clubs has been working with a committee from council looking to this end. The federation committee is composed of Miss Lou Robertson, chairman, Mrs. H.F. McVay, Mrs. B.P. Wagner and Mrs. W.T. Amos. The council committee includes Earl Lee, Dan Toy and Ed Bland, with Service Director Warner and City Engineer Blake. The grounds selected are those south of the Starrett graveyard down to the old mill belonging to the city which has been donated by the council. Contributions of $10 are being made by many individuals in the city to secure the $1,000 needed to complete the project. ––––– After four successful picnics, each better than the one previous, the Sidney people doubted the ability of the merchants to come one better on this, the fifth annual picnic. But without doubt this was the best yet and reflects immense credit to the Merchant’s Association and the committee that so successfully carried it through. The balloon did not go up, in spite of the anxious crowd which awaited the final feature. The officials decided the wind was too high to permit the balloonists to risk their lives.

REPLAY 50 years ago July 26, 1962 Houston won its first game in the girls softball league by besting Fort Loramie 13-12 at Harmon Field on the final night of league play. Frost and Lyons homered, while Daniel, Kuether and Zook tripled, with Gies smacking two doubles and Terry and Kuether also hitting two-baggers for Houston. Amann homered and tripled while Schulze homered and Cotrell and Carol Siegel doubled for Fort Loramie.

25 years ago July 26, 1987 Fred Foth said that if he dared make the comment that putting was the best part of his game, “everybody would laugh.” But it anyone laughed after Sunday’s final round of the Shelby County Open, they’d probably deserve a straight-jacket. After blowing a three-stroke lead over hard-charging Craig Seving Sunday at the Moose, Foth hit his tee shot onto the fringe of the green on the final hole, then ran in a 30-foot putt to snap a tie with Seving and capture his first Open title in dramatic fashion.

Weeden leads Browns on field for start of camp BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Brandon Weeden handed the ball off to Trent Richardson, officially signaling the start of training camp and what the Browns hope is a new era of football. Weeden, a highly touted quarterback selected No. 22 out of Oklahoma State and Richardson, a running back chosen No. 3 overall from Alabama, are being counted on to make an immediate impact in Cleveland. Or else. Pat Shurmur didn’t instantly name Weeden the starter Wednesday on the first day of his second camp as coach. But the 28-year-old rookie with the golden arm was first in line for reps, followed by incumbent starter Colt McCoy, 10-year veteran Seneca Wallace and secondyear reserve Thaddeus Lewis. “I think it makes sense to name the starter well before the season,” Shurmur said. “That’s probably what will happen. When it comes to naming a quarterback, sooner is better.” And for a team eager to improve upon a 4-12 finish — Cleveland’s fourth straight season of five or fewer wins — getting better can’t come soon enough. Weeden, for one, can’t wait. One day after signing a fouryear, $8.1 million contract, he said he was never in danger of being a holdout. He threw tight spirals with pinpoint accuracy and plenty of zip. “I wanted to be here, wanted to compete,” said Weeden, who said he feels much more comfortable than he did at rookie camp and Organized Team Activities in May. “From Day 1, my head was spinning so fast I couldn’t see straight,” he said. “The last OTA, I felt in complete control. I think I’m anxious, excited. There’s no reason to be worried about anything.” Only rookies, quarterbacks

Yinger qualifies for U.S. Amateur DAYTON — Sidney’s Zach Yinger finished second in the U.S. Amateur qualifier held Monday at Miami Valley Golf Club in Dayton. Yinger, fresh off his second Yinger championship in

the Shelby County Open on Sunday, was one of just two to advance from the qualifier and will not compete in the U.S. Amateur Championship Aug. 13-19 at Cherry Hills Country Club in Colorado. Yinger shot a 70 on the first day Monday in a round that included four birdies and three bogeys, including his final two holes.

He came back the second day and shot an even-par 71 to finish in a three-way tie for second. That necessitated a playoff to determine the final qualifier to the championships, and Yinger won it on the third hole. Yinger began the second round with an eagle on the first hole, a 505-yard, par-5 chal-

lenge. He was 3-under after a birdie on No. 3, but gave a stroke back on No. 7 to finish the first nine at 2-under 34. He birdied the No. 11 hole, but ran into trouble on No. 12 and double-bogeyed. He finished out with four pars, a birdie and a bogey for his 71. None of the top three leaders after the first round on Monday wound up qualifying.

Tigers beat Indians a second time CLEVELAND (AP) — Max Scherzer allowed two runs over seven innings to win his fourth straight decision and the Detroit Tigers beat the Cleveland Indians for only the second time this season with a 5-3 victory Wednesday night. Quintin Berry had three hits and drove in two runs to help Scherzer (10-5) win for the first time in four career starts at Progressive Field. Scherzer, whose only mistake came on Casey Kotchman's two-run homer, held the Indians to three hits, struck out eight and walked four.

Four Turns

Tracks on Tap

PIT BOSS For only the second 1 NEW time in his Cup Series career, which dates back to 2004, Carl Edwards will be without the guidance of Bob Osborne atop his pit box. Together, Edwards and Osborne garnered 18 Cup wins and finished second in the point standings on two occasions. Struggling through a winless 2012, Osborne has stepped aside in favor of Chad Norris. MILESTONE START Todd Bodine made his 200th career start in the Camping World Trucks Series last weekend. With the start, he became the first driver in NASCAR history to record 200 starts in all three of NASCAR’s touring series. Bodine is a two-time Truck Series champion and has 22 wins in the series. He also has 15 wins in the Nationwide Series with five top-5 points finishes. NUMBER DON’T TELL THE STORY Jeff Gordon’s 2012 results may be disappointing — he ranks 17th in the standings — but the in-race stats reveal that he ranks in the top 5 on the circuit in laps led (426). In contrast, Carl Edwards sits 11th in the standings and has led a total of 207 laps. However, all but one of those laps led came in one race (Richmond), where he ultimately finished 10th. GETTING HOT In the first three of NASCAR’s 10-race build-up to the Chase, Kasey Kahne has been the man to beat. Kahne has finishes of second, seventh and first in those races for an average finish of 3.3. Next on the list is Brad Keselowski, who has averaged a 4.6-place finish in the three races at Kentucky, Daytona and New Hampshire. Fighting for a spot in the Chase, Kyle Busch, at 13th in the standings with one win, has averaged a paltry 16.6-place run.

When: Sunday, July 29 TV: ESPN (12:00 p.m. EST) Layout: 2.5-mile oval Banking/Turns: 9 degrees 2011 Winner: Paul Menard Crew Chief’s Take: “Indy is big and fast, with four unique 90 degree corners that are connected by either long, fast straights where top-end power is required, or tight shortchutes, where torque is key. Communication — within the team, between driver and crew chief, engineer and crew chief — makes more of a difference at Indy than anywhere else. You can’t take chances there in terms of strategy.

As if the NASCAR Sprint Cup season is not already fractured and labeled — “regular season” vs. “The Chase” — NASCAR and its television partners also feel the need to label the 10 races prior to the 10-race playoff as “The Race to the Chase.” While not a fan of the fragmentation, I’ll humor the powers that be. So with seven races remaining until the Chase, here is a rundown of which drivers and teams look to be a safe bet to make the playoffs and those with work left to do. The Big Four Matt Kenseth, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Greg Biffle and Jimmie Johnson have been the most consistent drivers on tour through 19 races. All but one have 13 top 10s and all have at least one win apiece (Biffle has 11 top 10s and one win). These four are locks for the Chase based on points earned. Once there and the standings are reset, we’ll see how the Fords hang with the Chevys. In On Wins Brad Keselowski, Tony Stewart and Denny Hamlin have had up-and-down seasons, yet the highs outweigh the lows. Keselowski and Stewart have three wins, Hamlin two, all but locking them into the Chase regardless of whether they qualify on points alone. If any of the three were to fall out of the top 10 in points (unlikely), they would be able to fall back on win totals to transfer in. Somewhere in the Middle Kevin Harvick (sixth in points), Martin Truex Jr. (eighth) and Clint Bowyer (10th) have hovered

in the middle ground of Chase qualification. That said, each appear to have a sustainable cushion on 11th-place Carl Edwards, who is 47-markers — nearly an entire race’s worth of points — behind Bowyer. Barring a monumental meltdown by any of the three, all should be in the Chase. The bigger question surrounding this trio is how competitive any will be in the 10-race Chase. Neither Harvick nor Truex has a win, and of late, neither has been a legitimate contender. Bowyer’s one win (Sonoma) proves his No. 15 team is at least capable of cashing in, and being a new team with just over half a season together is encouraging. Outside Looking In This is where the true drama lies in the upcoming seven-week stretch. Currently, Kasey Kahne and Kyle Busch occupy the two wild card slots. Kahne has two wins and sits 12th in the standings, but the points are tight in the teens. Busch has one victory and is only two points behind Kahne, yet has faltered over the past month due, in part, to mechanical issues. His last top-5 run came on Memorial Day weekend in the Coca-Cola 600. Further muddying the wild card picture are Ryan Newman and Joey Logano. Each has one victory this year, so a second would give either the nod over Busch. This is a fluid area in the standings, and one that will likely change numerous times between now and the transfer race at Richmond. Arguably the biggest question mark in this convoluted mess is Edwards, who sits 11th in points, yet has yet to win a race. Desperate for wins, team owner Jack Roush pulled the trigger on a

crew chief change for Edwards, replacing his longtime boss, Bob Osborne, with Cup-newcomer Chad Norris. The angle here appears to be that Edwards and his No. 99 team need wins, not consistent finishes, to qualify. Despite his teammates’ strength (Kenseth and Biffle), Edwards has simply shown very little pure speed — and it’s hard to contend, much less win without it. The thinking is a change at the top is the only remaining option. Flying as under-the-radar as one can is Paul Menard, who has quietly nestled into the 15th spot in the standings. Menard won last season’s Brickyard 400, so the potential is there, but he has the dubious distinction of being the highest ranked driver with the fewest amount of top 10s (four). Aside from that, his No. 27 team, like Edwards’, has not proven it can contend for wins (zero top-5 finishes). The smoke-and-mirrors trick will only last for so long. Just behind this battle sits Jeff Gordon, who has experienced enough bad luck in 2012 to last a lifetime. He is a whopping 89 points out of 10th, making a surge improbable at best. A win or two — and he’s certainly capable of that — would jump start his chances. However, Gordon thought he had a winning piece in Loudon only to place sixth. If that’s what a “winning piece” gets ya, the odds don’t look good. Marcos Ambrose, Jeff Burton and Jamie McMurray round out the top 20, but none have shown the ability to consistently post top 10s, much less score race wins — although Ambrose is dangerous on the road courses.

Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: No one appreciates Indy more than Tony Stewart. He always brings something extra. Pretty Solid Pick: Jeff Gordon’s four Indy wins are the most in NASCAR’s 18 visits to the historic track. Good Sleeper Pick: Mark Martin has 11 top 10s in 18 Brickyard races.

Classic Moments Indianapolis Motor Speedway In a move that highlights its rise to prominence in the 1990s, NASCAR makes its historic debut at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1994. Eighty-five cars — a number unheard of even at NASCAR’s peak of popularity — attempt to qualify for the 1994 Brickyard 400. Rick Mast sits on the pole. Jeff Gordon’s rise coincides with the sport’s, as the 23-year-old scores his second career Cup victory in an impressive performance in which he paces the field for 93 of the 160 laps. Ernie Irvan appears to have something for Gordon, but he cuts a tire on the backstretch in the event’s waning laps, and he falls off the pace, allowing Gordon to cruise to his first of a series-best four Brickyard wins.

Penn State players vow to ‘see this thing through’ RACHEL COHEN AP Sports Writer

SPORTS

IN BRIEF

Cavs get Pargo in trade CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cavaliers acquired point guard Jeremy Pargo, a second-round draft pick in 2014, and cash considerations from the Grizzlies in exchange for guard-forward D.J. Kennedy on Wednesday. Pargo, 26, played in 44 games with Memphis last season, averaging 2.9 points and 1.3 assists in 9.7 minutes. In 2010-11, Pargo played in the Israel Premier League and averaged 10 points, 3.5 rebounds and 6.3 assists in 27.1 minutes. Kennedy appeared in two games for the Cavaliers last season and averaged six points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists.

PENN STATE senior linebacker Michael Mauti, left, and senior running back Michael Zordich, center foreground, lead the football team out of the Lasch building on the Penn State University campus, to give a statement in support of their team Wednesday in State College, Pa. sure as hell not going to get torn down by one man. This program was built on every alumni, every single player that came before us, built on their backs.” The Nittany Lions can’t play in a bowl game until the 2016 season after an unprecedented child sex abuse scandal that shattered the program’s image as a place where “success with honor” was the rule. The scholarship reductions they’ll receive could make it difficult for new coach Bill O’Brien to field a competitive squad during the next few seasons. That’s why support will be needed from fans and alumni more than ever, the players said. “We’re going to do everything in our power to get this place back on track,” Zordich said. “I’m personally calling out every member of Nittany Nation — all the students, faculty, fans and family members, alumni, everything that there is. Please, please come support us through this, because we need you just as much as you need us. And together we’re going to get through this thing to the end.”

Mauti is expected to be a leader on the defensive side, while McGloin won the starting quarjob during terback spring practice. On Twitter, McGloin called the NCAA penalties “extremely harsh.” “I am a Nittany Lion and will remain one,” he tweeted. “I believe in the core values I have learned in this program. It is not Nittany Lion Football. It is Nittany Lion family.” But some players will weigh whether to transfer, with other schools wooing them. The biggest name is running back Silas Redd, who rushed for 1,241 yards as a sophomore last season. Redd has yet to reveal his plans. Illinois spokesman Kent Brown confirmed that a group of assistant coaches traveled to State College on Wednesday to talk to some Nittany Lions players. Brown said Illini athletic director Mike Thomas informed Penn State of the trip and that it came after Nittany Lions players contacted the Illini. Cornerback Stephon Morris, who attended Wednesday’s news conference, tweeted: “We

have chosen to stay at PSU & other opposing coaches are outside our apartment. Was that the intentions of the NCAA.” He added the hashtags “LeaveUsAlone” and “WeAre.” O’Brien told ESPN on Wednesday that while opposing coaches needed only to email or fax the compliance department to receive clearance to speak to players, he believed there was a protocol they should follow. O’Brien cited Central George Florida’s O’Leary, Syracuse’s Doug Marrone and Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz as having reached out to him first. Marrone and O’Brien are closes friends from the time they spent working on O’Leary’s Georgia Tech staff. The NCAA penalties triggered a clause in O’Brien’s contract that extends his deal the length of any sanctions handed down. Now O’Brien’s deal runs through 2020. Soon after the players spoke, Penn State announced that no players would be made available for Big Ten media days, which are Thursday and Friday in Chicago.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Josh Hamilton understands why Nolan Ryan believes the struggling Texas Rangers slugger sometimes appears to be giving away at-bats. “I love and respect Nolan to death. He’s a competitor. He’s still a competitor and was a big-time competitor,” Hamilton said Wednesday. “I believe he cares so much for us as players, almost like a grandfather would, that when he sees us not performing or doing the things we need to do, it frus- Hamilton trates him. I understand why it frustrates him.” During his segment Monday on ESPN Dallas, Ryan said some of Hamilton’s recent at-bats haven’t been very impressive because he doesn’t work deep into counts and is swinging at a lot of bad pitches. “He just doesn’t seem to be locked in at all,” Ryan said. “So what you’re hoping is that his approach will change and he’ll start giving quality at-bats because there’s a lot of those at-bats that he just gives away.”

Tampa Bay cuts Matsui BALTIMORE (AP) — Hideki Matsui was cut by the Tampa Bay Rays to make room for newcomer Ryan Roberts, who was in the starting lineup Wednesday night against the Orioles. The 38-year-old was designated for assignment. The 2009 World Series MVP for the New York Yankees was batting .147 with two homers and seven RBIs and was hitless in his last 16 trips to the plate. Rays manager Joe Maddon said he Matsui spoke with Matsui and his interpreter Tuesday night. “He was stoic. He understood the move,” Maddon said. “I told him I wanted him to understand from the Rays that we wanted to do what was best for him and be amiable to what he wanted to do.”

The Penn State football players looked on stoically as two of their teammates announced to the world: “We’re going to see this thing through.” There were no smiles or slaps on the back among the more than 30 Nittany Lions who huddled outside the school’s football facility Wednesday morning. After the statement was read, they turned around and walked back into the building. “We want to let the nation know that we’re proud of who we are,” senior fullback Michael Zordich said, flanked by his fellow players. “We’re the true Penn Staters, and we’re going to stick together through this. We’re going to see this thing through, and we’re going to do everything we can for the university. We know it’s not going to be easy, but we know what we’re made of.” NCAA sanctions will keep the Nittany Lions out of a bowl game for the rest of these players’ careers, and college sports’ governing body is allowing any of them to transfer to another school and get on the field right away. But on Wednesday, at least 13 players listed as firststringers on the preseason depth chart affirmed their commitment to staying in Happy Valley, including senior quarterback Matt McGloin. Neither Zordich nor senior linebacker Michael Mauti — both sons of former Penn State players — mentioned former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky by name during the impromptu news conference, where they didn’t take any questions after reading a statement. “We take this as an opportunity to create our own legacy,” Mauti said. “This program was not built by one man and it’s

Kirkpatrick out with leg injury Football Injury list. Both designates players who are unable to practice as camp begins due to injury but may be activated as soon as they are medically cleared. With Leon Hall coming back from an Achilles problem, there were already questions about the position, which has been hit by injuries the last two seasons. That continued this spring as Kirkpatrick, Adam “Pacman” Jones, Shaun Prater and Nate Clements all missed workouts. Clements was out for all of the workouts due to an abdominal strain. Defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, though, is keeping hope alive. “I feel good about that group. I like the athletic

ability,” Zimmer said during Tuesday’s pretraining camp luncheon. “I like the combination of the ages. And the versatility, too, of a lot of them. I think we can find a good nucleus of guys. And we have some depth, so hopefully we can get them playing good. We’ve got smart guys. We’ve got good athletes. “And we’ve got good guys.”

Police say Cal Ripken Jr.'s mother is safe after an armed man abducted her from her home northeast of Baltimore. Aberdeen police say 74-year-old Vi Ripken was kidnapped between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. Tuesday by a man who forced her into her car.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ochocincoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is no more MIAMI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chad Ochocinco is officially no more. The Miami Dolphins wide receiver h a s changed his name back to the original Ochocinco Chad Johnson. Johnson was known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ochocincoâ&#x20AC;? for the past four seasons. The name was a playful reference to the No. 85 he wore on his jersey. Johnson was a sixtime Pro Bowl receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals. He signed a oneyear deal with the Dolphins earlier this year after being cut by the New England Patriots. For his NFL career, Johnson has 766 receptions for 11,059 yards and 67 touchdowns.

ken family. A next-door neighbor said Vi Ripken told him her kidnapper didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to know that her son was the Hall of Fame infielder nicknamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iron Manâ&#x20AC;? for playing in 2,632 consecutive games during his 21-year career with the Baltimore. Gus Kowalewski said he spoke with Vi Ripken later Wednesday morning and she told him the gunman tied her hands and put a blindfold on her, but said he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He lit cigarettes for her, they stopped for food,â&#x20AC;? Kowalewski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to hurt you. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to take you back,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what he did.â&#x20AC;? Kowalewski said Ripken told him the gunman originally planned to put tape over her eyes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that because she said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cause Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m said claustrophobic,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Kowalewski, a 72-yearold retired autoworker. Instead, the gunman put some type of mask or blinders on her, and she could see somewhat out the sides, he said. Ripken told her

neighbor the gunman also didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to know she was part of the Ripken family, who is wellknown throughout the Baltimore area and to baseball fans all over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said he just wanted money and her car,â&#x20AC;? Kowalewski said. Three years after voluntarily ending his Iron Man streak, Ripken Jr. retired in 2001. He is the chairman and founder of Ripken Baseball Inc., which he runs along with his brother, Bill. He owns three minorleague baseball teams, including the Single A IronBirds based at the Ripken Baseball complex in Aberdeen, a middle-class area of about 15,000 people. Kowalewski said Ripken told him the gunman asked her about items in the car related to the Ironbirds and did not seem to know about the team. Mike Hudson, 43, whose mother lives across the street from Ripken, said he was surprised the kidnapper came back to the neighborhood because police were swarming over the area about midnight.

Md. ABERDEEN, (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cal Ripken Jr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 74-year-old mother was found with her hands bound in the back seat of her car Wednesday after she said she was kidnapped at gunpoint a day earlier at her home outside Baltimore and driven around blindfolded by her abductor, police and neighbors said. Investigators do not know the kidnapperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motive and there was no ransom demand for Vi Ripkenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s release, Aberdeen Police Chief Henry Trabert said at a news conference. The gunman forced Ripken into her silver Lincoln Continental between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. Tuesday, police said. She was found bound and unharmed but shaken about 6:15 a.m. Wednesday near her home in Aberdeen, about 30 miles northeast of Baltimore. When asked if police believe the kidnapper knew who he was abducting, Trabert did not answer, saying investigators donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the motive or if the suspect has any ties to the Rip-

Dear Heloise: The best advice I got was from my grandmother. Back then, we did “spring-cleaning” — rolled up the rugs and took them out for a “beating,” cleaned all the windows inside, flipped mattresses and cleaned out cupboards, etc. We would always hear Grandma mumbling under her breath, “You fight dirt all your life, then they bury you in it.” So, I quit “fighting it.” We have so many work-saving hints from your articles that it isn’t necessary anymore. — Ginger D. in San Antonio How true! My mother said the same thing: “Clean, dust, scrub, sweep, and the last thing they do is throw a shovelful of dirt

in your face!” — Heloise STICKY-NOTE UPDATE Dear Heloise: I read in your column about a woman who writes on sticky notes the things she needs help with during social events she’s hosting. Her guests can pick from the notes what to help her with. I tried this last weekend, and it worked fabulously! It made the day so much more enjoyable for me, and my friends actually appreciated being able to help! There’s a downside, though. A couple of gals said that now that I ask for help, I can do these brunches more often! — Wendy R., Lake Forest, Calif.

The bride is the daughter of Fred and Christina Bodenmiller, of Jackson Center. She is the granddaughter of Fred and Evelyn Bodenmiller, of Jackson Center, and Ivan and Velma Zwiebel, of Wapakoneta. The bridegroom is the son of Aminur and Motluba Amiruzzaman, of Bangladesh. Pastor James Maxwell officiated the ceremony. Jeannine Zwiebel, great-aunt of the bride, was the pianist and keyboardist. Erin and Jessica Wren, cousins of the bride, greeted guests. Programs and bubbles were distributed by Spencer and Caleb Bodenmiller, cousins of the bride. Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore a white, Casablanca, strapless, ball gown of bridal illusion netting with lace appliques over silky, bridal satin. The fitted bodice was encrusted with hand-sewn, Swarovski crystals, rhinestones, glass beads, and seed pearls. The gown featured a dropped waistline with an A-line ball gown that fell into the chapel-length train. She also wore a rhinestone tiara and a white single-layer veil with scalloped edging that was embroidered with silver beads. She carried

a clutch bouquet of white roses, peonies, and ranunculus in shades of white. Touches of cornflower blue astilbe were added along with all sizes of gems and crystals. The stems of her bouquet were wrapped with sheer, white ribbon and finished with a bracelet of rhinestones. Tiffany Bodenmiller, sister of the bride, was maid of honor. The bridesmaid was Rebecca Lenhart. The attendants wore Alfred Angelo, knee-length gowns of two-tone satin in marine blue with white trim. The gowns featured spaghetti-strapped, fitted bodices that fell into full skirts. They carried clutches of white roses, ranunculus, cornflower blue button mums, and blue astilbe. The stems were wrapped in cornflower blue sheer ribbon and finished with bracelets of rhinestones. The altar was decorated with blue delphinium, white roses, and foliages in a silver container. Bachelor Maurice served as best man. The groomsman was Seth Bodenmiller, brother of the bride. Ushers were Tanner, and Colin, Keaton Zwiebel, cousins of the bride. Sean Wren, cousin of the bride, was the ring bearer. The mother of the bride wore a floor-length gown made of silky chiffon in fuchsia.

The enemy would have us believe that there will never be a judgment. The world is banking on it. People are actually hoping God is evil. That he won’t judge sin. The Bible says to be careful not to call good evil and evil good. If there is no judgment for you and me, then there is none for every rapist, murderer, dictator and pedophile ever to have lived. God’s judgment will bring deliverance to us. The Flood did. The 10 plagues did. God’s judgment on the Cross did.

Terrible place Here is what we need to understand about judgment. There will be a final one. There will be those who will stand before the Lord having lived in rebellion and desiring to be god for themselves. They will have the ultimate judgment — hell. Of the 16 times hell is mentioned in the Bible, Jesus spoke 14 of them. He used imagery and thoughts to describe a terrible place that no one should ever want to go: “Pluck out your eye.” “Cut off your hand.” “There will be weeping and gnashing.” Do whatever you have to do but don’t go there. It should give us thought to how gracious God is to, not only us, but to our unsaved loved ones and coworkers and people around the world who yet have a chance to come to repentance in Christ Jesus.

The dates and times are as follows: • Today and Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. • Sunday, 9 a.m.-1 p.m. • Monday to Aug. 3, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Registration information has been sent to currently enrolled students

Ultimate Frisbee Archdiocese of Cincinnati seminarians and local residents play Ultimate Frisbee Sunday at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in New Bremen. Andrew Cordonnier (shown here), who now resides at St. Antoninus Parish in Cincinnati, originally is from St. Remy Parish in Russia. Cordonnier started the seminarian Ultimate Frisbee competition as a way to reach out to the public and talk about God. This is the second consecutive year for the program, which make stops at several locations in the archdiocese. About 100 people attended the event in New Bremen.

New heaven and earth We go through many things because this world is already under judgment. Those things are to lead to see a God who is greater, loving and generous in that he has promised a new heaven and a new earth where there will be no sorrow, sickness, death or sin. All those things we experience and even bring to each other when we ignore God and decide we’ll rule ourselves are a current judgment. God has shown us what we are like without his rule over us. It is not good. May we find the courage to live so boldly and righteously before our God as to help those around us not only see their need for him, but how gracious and good he is in his promises to us. The writer is the pastor at Cornerstone Assembly of God in Sidney.

It takes courage to say ‘No, thanks’ DR. WALLACE: I’m 15, and I’ve never been popular w i t h my fellow students t a school. On the last day o f school, ’Tween before s u m - 12 & 20 Dr. Robert mer vaWallace cation, m y counselor called me into her office and told me to smile a lot this summer and to make some new friends. She also told me to be myself and to avoid the downfalls of peer pressure. My counselor has been working closely with me to establish self-confidence and I feel much better about myself. I think peer pressure means that my friends would force me to do something that I really wouldn’t want to do, such as go to a mall and steal things. No pressure would cause me to steal. Please give me your opinion of peer pressure. — Nameless, Philadelphia, Pa. Let’s NAMELESS: imagine that you have been invited to a party given by six very popular girls, and you want very badly to be a part of this popular clique. At a party, one of the girls opens a can of beer, takes a swallow and passes it to one of the other popular girls, who also takes a drink and passes it to yet another popular girl. Eventually, all six girls have had a taste of the beer. Then it is passed to you, and all six girls encourage you to, “Take a sip; you’ll really like it.” At that moment you are experiencing peer pressure. You really don’t want to try it because you don’t want to get involved with alcohol, but you want to be accepted by the popular girls. If you decide to take a sip, the need to be accepted overpowers doing what you know is right. Then you have just succumbed to peer pressure. Peer pressure is a powerful force, and it takes courage and lots of intestinal fortitude to say, “No, thanks,” when tempted to join in. You have a very caring and wise counselor. Continue to follow her advice! DR. WALLACE: Since you are a former high school principal, I’d like your opinion on school personnel having tattoos. The principal at my high school has Chinese characters tattooed on her neck, and one of the school security officers also has a tattoo on his neck. What do you say about this? Do you have a tattoo? — Bob, New York, N.Y. BOB: Having tattoos is a personal choice. I don’t see them as an asset or a liability. But those who are in leadership positions, including educators, would be less controversial if the tattoos were hidden underneath clothing when on the job. At the present time, I remain without a tattoo. Dr. Robert Wallace welcomes questions from readers.

ARLO & JANIS

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, July 27, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a creative, fun-loving day! Enjoy the company of children, sports, vacation activities and romantic partners. Find ways to express your creativity. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is great day to entertain at home. Invite the gang over for pizza and beer, because people are in a fun-loving mood. If shopping for home and family, just buy food, nothing else. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an especially creative day for those who write, teach, act or edit. It’s easy to think outside-the-box. However, avoid important decisions or signing important papers until tomorrow. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a poor day to part with your money. Don’t spend money on anything other than food and casual entertainment. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Like yesterday, this is a wonderful day to entertain at home. Everyone wants to see you, because the Sun and Mercury are in your sign. Enjoy this time of domestic popularity. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Conversations with siblings, neighbors and daily contacts will be personal, warm and revealing. People are not withholding today. Quite the opposite: They’re ready to share. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Be careful with all financial deals today, because whatever you initiate will tend not to fulfill its purpose. That’s why this is a poor day to spend money (except on food). SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) People notice you now, because the Sun is at high noon in your chart. Therefore, be more conservative today because it’s easy to misjudge something and go overboard. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You’ll love learning anything new today; in fact, research of all kinds will appeal to you. Visit museums, art galleries and places where you can enjoy the beautiful creativity of others. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a popular day! Enjoy the company of others, especially in group settings. However, avoid agreeing to important commitments or deadlines. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) All social occasions will go extremely well today, because people feel relaxed and friendly. Wait until tomorrow to agree to anything important, especially if it involves a commitment on your part. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Try to do something different today. Shake up your daily routine. You’ll love learning something new or going someplace you’ve never been before. YOU BORN TODAY You’re so decisive that others often want you to make their decisions for them. This is because you appear strong, even intimidating at times. It’s important for you to find your true passion in life (both public and private) — then you can conjure up the courage to follow your bliss. In the year ahead, an important decision will rise. Choose wisely. Birthdate of: Leo “The Lip” Durocher, baseball manager; Maya Rudolph, actress; Alex Rodriquez, baseball player. (c) 2012 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

CAUTION 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.

LONDON 2012 • SUMMER OLYMPICS GUIDE

Thursday, July 26, 2012

Games Central London takes stage for 2012 Summer Olympics athletes to watch, there are many more notable Americans to keep an eye Excitement around the on at the Aquatics Cenworld has reached a fever tre. Ryan pitch as the London 2012 Lochte is a Olympic Games will offi- threecially open with a grand time ceremony on July 27 from London’s Olympic Stadium. The Games of the 30th Olympiad will run from Friday, July 27, to Sunday, Aug. 12, and NBC will carry every event live online or tapedelayed in prime time. That’s great news for audiences in the U.S., who will now be able to follow their country’s successes with unprecedented exposure. Past Olympic coverage has focused on highlighting top events to air in evening timeslots, and while NBC will continue that tradition, it will also offer abundant coverage via online streaming video. Fans will be given ample opportunity to follow what promises to be one of the best American contingents to compete at a Summer Games. Team U.S.A. has won the medal count in every Summer Olympics gold medalist and could since 1992 and this year be Phelps’ top competitor you can expect that in the pool. With Lochte streak to continue. and Phelps leading the After collecting eight way, it could be a battle gold medals in eight for bronze for the rest of events at the 2008 Beithe field. jing Games, Michael Other notable AmeriPhelps will again be hit- can athletes expected to ting the pool to represent make some noise are the Stars and Stripes.

Bolt’s flair top of the list of American

and enthusiasm endeared him to fans around the world and many expect him to continue where he left off in Beijing. For Great Britain, there will be a considerable amount of pressure to please the home crowds. In Beijing, the U.K. tallied 19 gold medals and 47 in total, enough for fourth place in both categories. It’s safe to say that the host nation expects to improve on those numbers and will strive to finish in the top three, most likely behind Team U.S.A. and China. The face of the games for the host nation will be composed of a number of British athletes who will be gunning for hometown glory. Scottish track cyclist Chris Hoy will be a Briton to watch during the Games. The man they call “The Real McHoy” took home three gold medals from Beijing — the first Briton to accomplish the feat in a century — and is poised to hit the podium again in London. English swimmer Rebecca Adlington was a double gold medalist in 2008 and is a rising star back home in England. Her 800-metre swim in Beijing broke the event’s longest-standing record, one that had been in the books for 19 years. Adlington has recently developed a friendly rivalry with Italy’s Federica Pellegrini, who is a dominant force in these events, so you can expect some heated showdowns between these two powerhouses. Team U.S.A.’s domination on the basketball court will likely continue as Kobe Bryant and LeBron James will lead one of the best American squads into an Olympics

since the original Dream Team in 1992. As good as they’ll be, the U.S. will face stiff competition from Spain, Argentina and Italy.
