Voters from throughout Shelby County will consider a new tax levy proposed to support local historical museums. It will be on the ballot in a special election Tuesday. The text of the issue as it will appear on the ballot is as follows: “An additional tax for the benefit of County Wide Historical Alliance, Inc, for the purpose of providing maintenance and operation of free public museums of history at a rate not exceeding 0.25 mills for each one dollar of valuation which amounts to $0.025 for each one hundred dollars of valuation, for five (5) years, commencing in year 2012, first due in calendar year 2013.” If the issue passes, the owner of a home valued at
$100,000 will pay $7.88 per year, less than 3 cents per day. The county auditor estimates that the levy will generate about $248,000 per year. Logan County has had a similar levy in place for many years. Funds would support the Shelby County Historical Society (SCHS) and its Ross Historical Center in Sidney, the Fort Loramie Historical Association and its Wilderness Trail Museum, the Jackson Center Community Historical Society, the Anna District Historical Society and the Botkins Historical Society, which have established the County-Wide Historical Alliance Inc. (CWHA) to manage the funds. Levy proceeds would go into the county general fund and would then be distributed by the county auditor to the See HISTORY/Page 3A

Kennedy
Judge Sharon Kennedy, judge of the Butler County Court of Common Pleas, Domestic Relations Division, and current candidate for justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, visited the area Tuesday as part of her state tour to introduce herself to the people and businesses of Ohio. Kennedy said she has learned
that the judges are often the most overlooked position on the ballot. “It’s that blind ballot (candidates are not identified by party affiliation),” she said. “If the voter hasn’t really looked at the candidates, they don’t want to just guess, so they just skip over it.” And that is the reason for this tour, she said — just to let the people get to know her. Kennedy explained that, by
canon, judges are not permitted to discuss their personal opinions on issues that may come before them. But much can be gleaned from a judge’s history, stated judicial philosophy, community activism and public supporters. Kennedy said she believes the law and economy follow each other, and that activist courts contribute to instability in the economy. See KENNEDY/Page 4A

WESTERVILLE (AP) — The body of a missing pregnant woman was found in a vehicle Wednesday in central Ohio, and authorities said they were investigating the case as a “suspicious death.” A deputy responding to a call about a suspicious vehicle parked near a road found the body of Deanna Ballman, 23, early Wednesday afternoon in Harlem Township, according to the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office. The township is about 15 miles northeast of downtown Columbus, outside the more heavily populated suburbs. Authorities said the license plate matched the gold car used by the Pataskala woman, who was nine months pregnant and was reported missing on Tuesday night.

HISTORY County Wide Historical Alliance. “Financial distribution (to each organization) will vary from year to year based on the number of members and size of budget,” said Tilda Phlipot, director of the SCHS. Funds are needed to preserve artifacts and buildings, according to a pamphlet published by the CWHA. “Most of the museums have no operating funds even to provide heat during the winter,” it states. “Priceless artifacts are deteriorating and need to be preserved. All museums want to begin or continue educational programs in the schools in their communities. Several museums will have to close in the next couple of years due to lack of funds unless the levy passes.” “If it doesn’t pass, things will look like they’re staying the same, for awhile,” Phlipot said. “People won’t see that the artifacts inside are deteriorating and won’t be here for future generations. It will happen day by day and each day will take its toll, but from the outside, it won’t look as though anything’s changing.” “We’ll limp along,” echoed Jim Rosengarten, curator of the Wilderness Trail Museum in Fort Loramie. “The reserves we have will disappear slowly. If something big happens, they’ll disappear rapidly. We have a building with a roof that needs worked on. Everybody in the county is in the same boat. We’d hang on a little while. I know we don’t need another empty building sitting in town.”

The museums used to get some support from grants made by the Shelby County commissioners, but funding of non-profits by the county was discontinued several years ago. Rich Wallace, an SCHS board member, said that if the issue doesn’t pass Tuesday, voters will see it on the ballot again. “I think it’s a question of when it goes back on the ballot, not if,” he said. “It’s a life line for organizations. We (SCHS) can make it a little longer than most of the others.” “Though the board of the SCHS has not made any definite decisions, the budget constraints will definitely curtail the scope of operations (if the levy fails),” Phlipot said. Each museum has priceless artifacts and preservation of them is costly. Many pieces are items that document family histories specific to Shelby County or the villages in which the families resided. “Maybe we’re not a Smithsonian, but there are some real gems in there,” Rosengarten said. Museum officials in each place feel an obligation to future generations to save those artifacts. “And I think we older people like to see things from our past, too,” said Kathleen Eshleman, a trustee of the Anna District Historical Society. She thinks its important that children have an opportunity to learn how life was lived way before they were born. “We execute a public purpose,” Wallace said of the societies. “No one else is a custodian of our past.”
Fire probe continues ANNA — Investigation continues into an alleged arson fire that heavily damaged the Anna Rescue Squad building April 15. Detective Lt. James Frye of the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday the Sheriff’s Office is continuing to investigate the fire and interview people. He asked that anyone with information in the case contact him at 494-2117. “Regardless … if it doesn’t mean anything to them, it might mean something to us,” he said of information. Frye said the investigation is taking some time to complete due to several issues, including “the number of people involved and the complexity of the case itself and the fact that the State Fire Marshal’s Office initiated the investigation … then turned it over to us.” He noted the insurance company’s investigator is also involved in the case. “You have two government agencies and one private agency involved (and) these things take a long time.” The fire caused an estimated $100,000 damage to the Linden Avenue structure, built in 1981. Frye had previously reported that the State Fire Marshal’s Office determined the point of origin of the fire indicates it had to be intentionally set. The loss was reportedly covered by insurance.
STATE NEWS
Sidney Daily News,Thursday, August 2, 2012
Obama casts Romney as the proponent of tax hikes AKRON (AP) — President Barack Obama made his rival’s personal millions a front-andcenter issue in the race for the White House on Wednesday, telling a audience swing-state that Mitt Romney “is asking you to pay more so that people like him can get a big tax cut.” “In order to afford just one $250,000 tax cut for somebody like Mr. Romney, 125 families like yours would have to pay another $2,000 in taxes each and every year,” Obama added, citing a report that his opponent’s aides immediately denounced as deeply flawed. The president leveled his charge as Romney, back from an overseas trip, looked ahead to an intensive campaign stretch that will culminate in his selection of a vice presidential running mate as early as next week and the Republican National Convention at month’s end. There were hints that Republicans might soon seek to expand the political playing field into Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, states that traditionally vote Democratic in a presidential race. Campaign activity has been relatively modest in all three since the end of
the GOP primaries. Officials familiar with campaign advertising said Restore our Future, a super Pac aligned with the former Massachusetts governor, is airing television ads in all three states that retrace Romney’s successful stewardship of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. “After Sept.11, Romney delivered the Olympics safe and sound,” the announcer says, referring to the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of more than a decade ago. The ad makes no mention of Obama, and appears designed to give viewers a positive, initial impression of a candidate they may not know much about — the type of commercial that often serves as an introduction to a longer campaign effort. Obama’s trip to Ohio was the ninth in his drive for re-election, signifying the importance of a state he carried in 2008 and where more money has been spent on ads than in any other this year. No Republican has ever captured the White House without carrying Ohio. Obama campaigned in Mansfield and then Akron, and his campaign backed his rhetoric with a new ad that described Romney’s economic plan this way: “a new $250,000 tax cut for mil-
KENNEDY “There is the piece of the economy that is tied to stable, predictable laws,” she said. “If laws are not stable, businesses do not want to invest.” “I think (business owners) expect the court to maintain a steady course,” Kennedy said. Therefore, Kennedy’s judicial philosophy has a constitutional basis — supporting the constitution of the state and upholding current law, rather than “legislating from the bench.” Kennedy pointed out that there are seven seats on the Ohio Supreme Court and five of those will change hands in the next six years. Key to the stability of the economy in this state will be bringing putting judges on the state’s highest court who “understand the marriage of economy and law.” The Ohio State Bar Association has rated Kennedy “not recommended,” while rating her opponent, Gov. Ted Strickland appointee Justic Yvette McGee Brown as “highly recommended.” Kennedy said of her interview by the committee in charge of making those ratings, “Their first question to me was ‘why does the court need another cookie-cutter con-
servative when it already has too many?’” Ostensibly, the OSBA rating for each candidate is based on an evaluation by a 25-member panel according to eight nonpolitical criteria: legal knowledge and ability; professional competence; judicial temperament; integrity; diligence; health; personal responsibility; and public/community service. Candidates who receive positive evaluations from fewer than 60 percent of the panel members are rated “not recommended,” while the “highly recommended” rating goes to a candidate receiving favorable evaluations from at least 70 percent of the members. According to the OSBA, a “not recommended” rating means, “This candidate’s qualifications are not suited to perform the duties and responsibilities of … justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio.” In response to this, Kennedy simply calls on her record: putting herself through college, working as a police officer, putting herself through law school (“paying as I went, no debt and no government assistance”), running her own business in her private law practice, serving as special counsel for

Working with state legislators she championed a ‘common sense’ family law initiative to reduce multiple forum litigation for Butler County families.” It was her advocacy for her position on family law that led her to end her relationship with the OSBA, she said, explaining that she was previously a member of both the OSBA and the Ohio Association of Domestic Relations Judges and their lobbyists were arguing opposite positions.

that “the entire centerpiece of my opponent’s economic plan is a new $5 trillion tax cut on top of the Bush tax cuts.” As the audience booed, Obama added that taxpayers making more than $3 million a year would receive a tax cut totaling “almost a quarter of a million dollars.”
Ohio officials probe possible swine flu cases CINCINNATI (AP) — Ohio health and agriculture officials said Wednesday they are investigating the cases of 10 sick people whose illnesses have similarities to a swine flu virus. All had attended the same county fair, and officials at the big Ohio State Fair were stepping up precautions. State and Butler County health departments say preliminary laboratory tests indicate possible H3N2 variant flu virus, which can be contracted by humans from being around infected hogs. Officials say all 10 had contact with hogs at the Butler County Fair, which ended last weekend in Hamilton, in southwest Ohio. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is also investigating, but hasn’t confirmed swine flu. “We’re working with them to help the investigation and to test some of the samples,” said Dr. Joe Bresee, an influenza epidemiologist for the CDC. Ohio Health Department spokeswoman Tessie Pollock said all 10 people were recovering from their illness. She wouldn’t discuss any other details about them or their cases, citing health privacy concerns. Swine flu symptoms include cough, sore throat, fever and body aches, and possibly nau-
sea and diarrhea. Indiana authorities last week said they were investigating similar cases involving four people who had swine contact at a northwest Indiana fair. Pollock said Ohio authorities have been in contact with Indiana officials, and also with Ohio State Fair officials. “This is no reason not to attend the fair,” Pollock said. The state fair — with nearly 1,500 hogs in its livestock shows — continues through Sunday in Columbus. Officials have rushed to add hand sanitizer stations around livestock barns and are reminding people to wash their hands after being near livestock and to keep food and drinks out of animal areas. “We’re stressing to folks to take extra precautions,” Agriculture spokesDepartment woman Erica Pitchford said. She said officials are also spreading the word to 4-H advisers and others to make sure youths who spend a lot of time in the fair barns with their animals to use precautions. She said ill hogs exhibit the same symptoms as humans: coughing, sneezing and stomach problems. Health officials urge exhibitors at all fairs to take precautions and for veterinarians to closely monitor swine for signs of illness.
Young chef to visit White House; have lunch with first lady HINCKLEY (AP) — An 11-year-old Ohio boy will be having lunch with first lady Michelle Obama next month. Logan Kendall has been chosen as Ohio’s winner in the Healthy Lunchtime Challenge. A budding chef, Logan submitted a recipe for a “shredded veggie wrap” that captured the atten-
tion of the contest judges. He’ll leave Aug. 19 for four days in Washington, including a lunch with Obama and the winners from the other states. He’ll also get a tour of the White House kitchen garden. The Akron Beacon Journal reports that the contest selected winners from more than
1,200 entries. It’s sponsored by the first lady along with the food website Epicurious.com and the U.S. departments of education and agriculture. Logan lives in Hinckley Township, south of Cleveland. ——— Information from: Akron Beacon Journal, http://www.ohio.com

From Page 1 He has been out to tend the garden with the inmates himself and has fielded many agricultural questions from them. He said many of them have never gardened before and they have learned quite a bit already. Even more than that, the garden is planting seeds of hope in some inmates’ hearts. “Sometimes inmates say, ‘When I get out of here, I’m going to put out
some tomatoes,’” Lenhart said. But the garden is not all sunshine and hope. There is the sad reality of incarceration which is sometimes passed from father to son. During a recent tomato-picking session, one of the inmates told Lenhart a story: the inmate’s father had enjoyed working in the jail’s garden and now the son was doing the same thing.

Impasse threatens troops, economy
TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Thursday, Aug. 2, the 215th day of 2012. There are 151 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 2, 1862, the Ambulance Corps for the Army of the Potomac was created at the order of Maj. Gen. George McClellan during the Civil War. On this date: ■ In 216 B.C., during the Second Punic War, Carthaginian forces led by Hannibal defeated the Roman army in the Battle of Cannae. ■ In 1776, members of the Continental Congress began attaching their signatures to the Declaration of Independence. ■ In 1876, frontiersman “Wild Bill” Hickok was shot and killed while playing poker at a saloon in Deadwood, Dakota Territory, by Jack McCall, who was later hanged. ■ In 1909, the original Lincoln “wheat” penny first went into circulation, replacing the “Indian Head” cent. ■ In 1922, Alexander Graham Bell, generally regarded as the inventor of the telephone, died in Nova Scotia, Canada, at age 75. ■ In 1923, the 29th president of the United States, Warren G. Harding, died in San Francisco; Vice President Calvin Coolidge became president. ■ In 1934, German President Paul von Hindenburg died, paving the way for Adolf Hitler’s complete takeover. ■ In 1943, during World War II, Navy boat PT-109, commanded by Lt. John F. Kennedy, sank after being rammed by the Japanese destroyer Amagiri off the Solomon Islands. ■ In 1964, the destroyer USS Maddox suffered light damage from North Vietnamese patrol torpedo boats in the Gulf of Tonkin. ■ In 1974, former White House counsel John W. Dean III was sentenced to one to four years in prison for obstruction of justice in the Watergate coverup. (Dean ended up serving four months.) ■ In 1985, 135 people were killed when a Delta Air Lines jetliner crashed while attempting to land at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. ■ In 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait, seizing control of the oil-rich emirate. (The Iraqis were later driven out in Operation Desert Storm.)
OUT OF THE BLUE
No bull: He just wants some love SHERWOOD, Ark. (AP) — A bull in the mood for love damaged an Arkansas sheriff’s patrol car when it tried to mount a man who was leading the animal across a yard. Authorities said Wednesday that a Faulkner County sheriff’s deputy was responding to a call about a bull running loose when he saw the man slapping and trying to guide the bull. The Log Cabin Democrat reports that as the patrol car drew near, the animal reared up and pinned the man against the vehicle. According to the deputy’s report, the bull then “tried to mate with him.” The bull then lost interest and followed a truck down the road. The patrol car sustained minor damage, though no injuries were reported. The bull’s owner says it was the animal’s first escape.

THIS JUNE 3 file photo released by the Syrian official news agency SANA, Syrian President Bashar Assad delivers a speech at the parliament in Damascus, Syria. Arab countries on Wednesday pushed ahead with a symbolic U.N. General Assembly resolution that tells Assad to resign and turn over power to a transitional government. It also demands that the Syrian army stop its shelling and helicopter attacks and withdraw to its barracks. A vote is set for Friday morning.
Where is he? Mystery deepens about Syrian leader BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian President Bashar Assad urged his military Wednesday to boost its fight against rebels, but his written call to arms only deepened a mystery over his whereabouts two weeks after a bomb penetrated his inner circle. Assad has not spoken publicly since the July 18 bombing killed four of his top security officials — including his brother-in-law — during a rebel assault on the capital, Damascus. The president’s low profile has raised questions about whether he fears for his personal safety as the civil war escalates dramatically. The United States called the Syrian president a coward for marshaling his forces from the pages of the army’s official magazine. “We think it’s cowardly, quite frankly, to have a man hiding out of sight, exhorting his armed forces to continue to slaughter the civilians of his own country,” said U.S. State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell. Sausan Ghosheh, the spokeswoman for the U.N. mission in Syria, said Wednesday that international observers witnessed warplanes firing in Aleppo, Syria’s largest city, where intense fighting has been raging for 12 days. Speaking to reporters in Damascus, Ghosheh said the situation in Aleppo was dire. “Yesterday, for the first time, our observers saw firing
from a fighter aircraft. We also now have confirmation that the opposition is in a position of having heavy weapons, including tanks,” she said, adding that for civilians, there “is a shortage of food, fuel, water and gas.” The U.N.’s World Food Program said it was sending enough emergency food aid for 28,000 people in the city of 3 million. The U.N. has estimated that some 200,000 residents have fled Aleppo. On Wednesday, a Ukrainian military plane evacuated from Aleppo dozens of Ukrainians and Polish women with their children and in some cases Syrian husbands. As the country delves further into chaos, there are mounting concerns about Syrian rebels carrying out atrocities against regime supporters. A video posted online, which was impossible to verify independently, appeared to show rebels executing a man they identified as a member of the “shabiha,” or a pro-regime militiaman, in a hail of gunfire. Such developments pose a serious problem for the opposition, which has tried to claim the moral high ground against an authoritarian regime that has been accused of war crimes. The conflict in Syria, which activists say has killed more than 19,000 people since March 2011, has drawn deep international condemnation.
WASHINGTON (AP) — With the government heading toward a year-end “fiscal cliff,” House Republicans approved a full plate of Bush-era tax cuts Wednesday that they said could help shore up a still-frail national economy. At the same time, the Obama administration warned that threatened budget cuts could send some of America’s troops into battle with less training. For all the action and talk, however, both taxes and spending were deeply enmeshed in campaign politics, with no resolution expected until after the elections. Democrats are demanding that any compromise to avoid the $110 billion in budget cuts that are scheduled to kick in Jan. 2 include a tax increase on high-income earners. Republicans reject the idea of raising rates on anyone as the economy struggles to recover fully from recession. “There are five months remaining for Congress to act,” acting White House Budget Director Jeff Zients told the House Armed Services Committee. “What is holding us up right now is the Republican refusal to have the top 2 percent pay their fair share.” Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter told the committee that if Congress fails to come up with a compromise, nearly all elements of the mil-
itary will be affected by cuts mandated by last year’s deficit deal. Training would be scaled back and flying hours for Air Force pilots would be reduced. The Navy would buy fewer ships and the Air Force fewer aircraft. “Some later-deploying units (including some deploying to Afghanistan) could receive less training, especially in the Army and Marine Corps,” Carter said. “Under some circumstances, this reduced training could impact their ability to respond to a new contingency, should one occur.” Military personnel would be exempt from job cuts, but furloughs might be issued and commissary hours reduced, he said. Later, Republicans moved to renew the Bush tax cuts for every working American. The cuts will otherwise expire Dec. 31, part of a combination of effects along with major spending cuts that have been characterized as a “fiscal cliff” for the economy. The bill passed by a 256-171 vote Nineteen Democrats joined with Republicans; retiring Rep. Timothy Johnson of Illinois was the sole Republican to break with his party. There is no expectation that the Democratic-led Senate will even consider the House measure, at least before the elections.
Celebrated author dies BY HILLEL ITALIE Associated Press In a world more to his liking, Gore Vidal might have been president, or even king. He had an aristocrat’s bearing — tall, handsome and composed — and an authoritative baritone ideal for summoning an aide Vidal or courtier. But Vidal made his living — a very good living — from challenging power, not holding it. He was wealthy and famous and committed to exposing a system often led by men he knew firsthand. During the days of Franklin Roosevelt, one of the few leaders whom Vidal admired, he might have been called a “traitor to his class.” The real traitors, Vidal would respond, were the upholders of his class. The author, playwright, politician and commentator whose vast and sharpened range of published works and public remarks were stamped by his immodest wit and unconventional wisdom, died Tuesday at age 86 in Los Angeles. Vidal died at his home in the Hollywood Hills at about 6:45 p.m. of complications from pneumonia, his nephew
Burr Steers said. Vidal had been living alone in the home and had been sick for “quite a while,” Steers said. Vidal “meant everything to me when I was learning how to write and learning how to read,” Dave Eggers said at the 2009 National Book Awards ceremony, where he and Vidal received honorary citations. “His words, his intellect, his activism, his ability and willingness to always speak up and hold his government accountable, especially, has been so inspiring to me I can’t articulate it.” Along with such contemporaries as Norman Mailer and Truman Capote, he was among the last generation of literary writers who were also genuine celebrities — regulars on talk shows and in gossip columns, personalities of such size and appeal that even those who hadn’t read their books knew their names. His works included hundreds of essays, the best-selling novels “Lincoln” and “Myra Breckenridge” and the Tony-nominated play “The Best Man,” a melodrama about a presidential convention revived on Broadway in 2012. Vidal appeared cold and cynical on the surface, dispassionately predicting the fall of democracy, the American empire’s decline or the destruction of the environment.
50 years later — questions still linger LOS ANGELES (AP) — A half century has not dimmed skeptics’ suspicions about the death of Marilyn Monroe at age 36, but the intervening decades have seen technological leaps that could alter the investigation Monroe were it to occur today. DNA, more sophisticated electronic record-keeping, drug databases and other advances would give investigators more information than they were able to glean after Monroe’s Aug. 5, 1962, death — 50 years ago this Sunday. Whether any of the tools would lead to a different conclusion — that Monroe’s death from acute barbiturate poisoning was a probable suicide
— remains a historical “What If?” “The good news is we’re very advanced from 50 years ago,” said Max Houck, a forensic consultant and co-author of “The Science of Crime Scenes.” “The bad news is, we’re still trying to put it in context,” he said. Monroe’s death stunned the world and quickly ignited speculation that she died from a more nefarious plot than the official cause of death. The theories stem from the 35minute gap between when Monroe was declared dead by her physician and when police were dispatched, incomplete phone records, and toxicology tests on digestive organs that were never done. Interest has also focused on whether Monroe kept a diary filled with government secrets that was taken from her bedroom, or if she was killed to
prevent her from revealing embarrassing secrets about President John F. Kennedy or his brother, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. An investigation by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office 20 years after her death found no evidence of a murder conspiracy, although it theorized that Monroe may have died from an accidental overdose. The district attorney’s report employed an outside coroner’s expert who concluded “that even with the more advanced —1982 — state-of-the-art procedures would not, in any reasonable probability, change the ultimate conclusions” reached 20 years earlier. The Internet, digital imaging and more sophisticated testing mean that Monroe’s death if it occurred today would be subject to even more
forensic scrutiny. Houck said some of the important stages of the investigation remain unchanged, including the necessity to quickly interview witnesses, control access to the crime scene and document its appearance. “Like an archaeologist, you’re trying to reconstruct past events,” he said. In Monroe’s case, the first police officer on the scene later said he saw her housekeeper using the washing machine in the hours after the actress’ death. The 1982 DA’s report also states roughly 15 prescription bottles were seen at the scene, but only eight are reflected in the coroner’s report. “In cases of intense public interest, there’s a tendency to not follow standard protocol,” Houck said, which is a mistake. “You’re going to be under that much more scrutiny.”

Tips for staying cool in a hot car Here are some other hot-weather hints: Take a kitchen towel, dampen with water, roll, shape like the letter “C,” freeze and place on your neck when ready for yardwork. Fold a paper towel into a square, wet, place in a zipper-top bag, and freeze. Use as an ice pack for a child’s injury. Always keep two or three stored. — Kathy in Arizona EXTRA POWER Dear Heloise: When
getting ready to go on vacation with my family, I started thinking about all the electronics that would be coming with us. With cellphones, laptop computers, digital cameras and tablet computers, I wondered how we would possibly have enough outlets in the hotel room. I packed an extension cord (with multiple outlets), and everyone was impressed that something so simple saved the day! — K.D. in Fort Wayne,
She stole my boyfriend away from me way to get over a broken heart is to go out and get it broken again.” DR. WALLACE: I’m a 16-year-old guy who has been in trouble in the last year, but now I’m starting to calm down. Every time I get into trouble, my mother will never let me forget it. She is always bringing it up and telling me that I don’t love her, but I really do. I think it’s normal for a kid my age to get into trouble. If kids didn’t get into mischief, they wouldn’t be kids. I’m just a normal kid. Do you agree? And do you think my mom should be bringing up things that happened in the past? — Mike, Portland, Ore. MIKE: Some teens get
into trouble, but many do not. I wouldn’t say it’s normal for 16-year-olds to be in constant hot water, even though the teen years can be very difficult. I don’t think you would mind that your mom brings up your past if she were proud of your actions. Even if you have told her before, tell your mom again that you are sorry for your unacceptable behavior and that it won’t happen again. Then tell Mom that you love her and ask her to please judge you from today forward and put your past “troubles” to rest. If you will do this, I feel confident that Mom will forgive and forget.

Mark Cundiff, Sidney city manager, was the speaker at the July 18 meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Sidney. provided Cundiff background information about himself. He is a native of Greenville, where he was a member of the Key Club at Greenville High School. He received his undergraduate and master’s degrees at Wright State University. He has been married for 28 years and has a son and a daughter. His first job was with the city of Davenport, Iowa, he said. Wanting to move closer to home, he took a job with Woolpert Consulting in Dayton. In 1989, he was named city planner for Sidney and eventually became the assistant city manager. Wanting to advance his career, he took the job of city manager in Greenville, Ill. He moved back to Troy as planning director and then became city manager in Yellow Springs. The one job he would consider leaving Yellow Springs for, he told the group, was the city manager’s position in Sidney, which he was offered about five months ago. Cundiff then discussed projects going on in the community: street paving recently that took place in the city and the sprucing up of the Interstate 75/Ohio 47 interchange. He noted that virtually all of the expense was covered by grants and donations by corporate sponsors. Due to the recent drought and heat wave, the city is constantly measuring the flow of the Great Miami River, Cundiff said. The current flow stands at 35 million gallons per day, which is adequate for the city’s water needs. If the level gets down to 25 million gallons per day, residents will be requested to restrict their water usage. Cundiff concluded his remarks by talking about the sewage treatment plant. The city meets permit levels as set forth by the EPA. Talks are in progress about new permit levels, which may result in an expansion of the plant. President Heather Pollard called the meeting to order. The invocation was given by Gary Carter and the group was lead in song by Ralph Bornhorst, accompanied by Don Tangeman on the piano. Jake Romaker led the fun and games activities, which included various trivia questions about this date in 1950. The annual Labor Day barbecue tickets were distributed by Tom Kinninger and Bob Guillozet. Pollard also announced that the club will enter a float in this year’s Applefest parade.

Sportsmanship found at calf scramble BY KATHY LEESE With approximately 1,000 people filling the grandstands, some Shelby County kids had fun Friday night during the fourth annual pig and calf scramble at the Shelby County Fair, and everyone in attendance learned an important lesson about sportsmanship from one young man during the event. As kids of all ages ran around in front of the grandstand trying to catch a pig, chicken, steer, goat or calf, those watching yelled encouragement, applauding and laughing as the kids hung on for dear life to their animals, some kids ending up face down in the mud, but never giving up their quest to get their animal. All the participants from young children to teenagers and alumni, had to wear protective helmets to participate in the event, with the fair board remaining cautious about the safety of those in the competition. In one case, as everyone watched, the teenagers ran after
calves that raced around the enclosure through the mud, with the teens in hot pursuit. Despite his best efforts, Zach Rogers had a very uncooperative calf that was as determined not to be haltered and taken to the ring as Zach was to get him there. Zach refused to let go of the stubborn calf and the two wrestled, finally ending up on the ground, both covered in mud, the calf refusing to hold still to be haltered as required in the contest, and Zach giving it everything he had to hang on to the calf and get the halter over its head and nose. After what seemed a very long time, it looked as if Zach might have to give up on the insubordinate calf. But it was then that Luke Brautigam, a fellow contestant, showed everyone present what real sportsmanship is about, when he jumped in to help Zach corral the mischievous calf and get it haltered. With Luke’s help and encouragement, Zach finally got the calf haltered and into the ring, as applause rang

out across the crowd. Jason Vondenhuevel, a local auctioneer, who acted as master of ceremonies for the event, spoke about Luke’s efforts to help his friend, telling everyone that “if there was a class for sportsmanship” Luke would have won it. Vondenhuevel noted that in 4-H and FFA, young people are taught to care about others and to help their fellow members when they need it, and it was a lesson Luke obvilearned that ously seemed to be the highlight of the evening. As Vondenhuevel asked the crowd to help count down one, two, three, go, the youngest kids were off and running after chickens, with the kids running one way and the chickens running another. One little girl skillfully grabbed a chicken by its legs and ran into the ring in a matter of a few minutes. Others were not far behind, proudly grabbing the chickens and getting them to the ring. For their efforts, they walked away with some money and a big smile.
A pig scramble was held, with the kids’ arms covered in grease as they waited to chase the pigs. First, Vondenhuevel asked the young people, “Anyone here scared of pigs?” to which one young girl responded with what seemed like a good question, “Why do this if (you’re) scared of pigs?” As the kids chased and captured the pigs, the pigs could be heard squealing in protest as they were dragged through the mud, mostly by their rear legs, to the ring. Occasionally, fair board members offered a little advice on how to handle the pig, but the kids for the most part, seemed to know what they were doing. Winning in the pig scramble in heat one in first and second place, respectively, were Erin Burdiss and Riley Huelskamp. In heat two, taking first place was Dakota Graves, and in second place was Jerron Reese. In heat three, the first-place winner was Evan Argabright and the second-place winner was Evan Burden. In heat four, the first-place winner

was Katie Bensman and the second-place winner was Brittany Timmerman. The overall winners in the pig scramble were Evan Argabright, first place and Dakota Graves, second place. Evan took home $100 for being the overall winner and Dakota won $50. In the calf scramble, teenagers lined up with halters and took off after the calves, with one girl hanging on as the calf dragged her around for a while before she finally ended up face down in the mud, with the calf running away. However, it did not stop her and she was soon on her feet, running after the calf again. Many teenagers ended up wrestling with their calves, but eventually pulling them into the ring, except for the one corraled by Zach Rogers, who as described earlier, seemed to have a particularly stubborn calf. In the calf scramble in heat one, Seth Clark took first place and Eric Ryder took second place. In heat two, it was John Asbury, first place; Cole Tebbe, second place. In heat three, Makayla
Phillips took first place and Bradley Burden took second place. The overall winners and their prizes were first place, John Asbury, $200, and second place, Seth Clark, $100. For the first time since the event began four years ago, there was an alumni division in the competition and they had the opportunity to corral a steer. That event did not have a prize, but those participating were enthusiastic as the steer was turned loose. The steer looked around at the crowd and those in the ring as if it was not sure what to think of all the attention. But the alumni did know what to do and soon had the steer haltered and in the ring. For all the participants and the crowd it was a fun evening. However, it is likely that mothers are scratching their heads this week, hoping to find a laundry detergent to clean up all of that mud. Pullins Drainage, of Quincy, sponsored the along with event Sylvia’s Insurance Group.

REPLAY 50 years ago Aug. 2, 1962 Parnelli Jones, the Torrance, Calif., sprint car star, will use the USAC sprints this Sunday at New Bremen Speedway as a springboard to regain the lead in the USAC national sprint standings, a title he has held for the past two years. Jim Hurtubise leads Jones and both will compete in the $5,000 event.

He defeated Walt Schmitmeyer, Darrell Bowers, Russ Hanna, Loran Coy and Joe Pillion to take first place in Class A.
EYES ON LONDON By Associated Press U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio wants to give America's Olympic champions a tax break on their winnings. Americans who win gold, silver or bronze at the Olympics get a cash award from the U.S. Olympic Committee of tens of thousands of dollars. The Republican lawmaker introduced a bill Wednesday that would exempt medal winners from paying taxes on the honorariums, calling the penalty ridiculous. The USOC says a gold medalist gets $25,000, a silver medalist $15,000 and a bronze winner $10,000. What about NBA stars on the basketball team like the Miami Heat's LeBron James? Rubio's office says that the Olympics are unique, with U.S. athletes volunteering to represent the country, and that success should be celebrated, not taxed.

Ludwick drove in the goahead run twice to lead the Reds (63-41) to their 19th victory in 22 games. Despite playing without sluggers Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips, they moved 22 games over .500 for the first time since Sept. 5, 2010. The Reds remained three games ahead of second-place Pittsburgh in the NL Central. The Pirates open a threegame series in Cincinnati on Friday. Zack Cozart also homered and Bronson Arroyo pitched six innings to earn his third straight win and fourth in five starts.

Andrew McCutchen chipped in with two hits and scored three times, and the Pirates broke this one open late. They rebounded from a lopsided loss on Monday to take two of three from the Cubs. Now, after a day off, they'll head to Cincinnati for a threegame series with the NL Central-leading Reds. “I'm going to give you something real generic,” manager Clint Hurdle said, before
doing just that. “We'll be there on time and we'll be ready to play. We're not in such a hurry to process all of this information. We've just won this series. We'll travel. We’ll get there.” As for this game, the Pirates were leading 2-1 going into the eighth when this one got out of hand. They started the onslaught with seven straight hits against Shawn Camp and sent 10 batters to the plate in a five-
run outburst. Jones, batting for Gaby Sanchez, drove in two with a single and McKenry made it 7-1 with a three-run drive to left — his 10th homer of the year. “He tried to throw a BP sinker down and in,” McKenry said. “I just tried to look for a ball a little bit elevated with a sinker guy.” McKenry connected, and the Pirates could breathe a little easier.
Reds’ Mesoraco suspended, placed on seven-day DL CINCINNATI (AP) — Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco planned to appeal his threegame suspension for making contact with an umpire during an argument. The rookie will be sidelined for a while anyway because of a concussion. Mesoraco was placed on the seven-day disabled list for concussions before Wednesday night’s game against San Diego. Cincinnati also optioned right-hander Todd Redmond to Triple-A Louisville and called up catcher Dioner Navarro from its top farm club. Newly acquired reliever Jonathan Broxton, obtained in a trade Tuesday with Kansas City for two minor leaguers, was added to the active roster. Broxton was expected to arrive in Cincinnati just in time for Wednesday night’s game. Mesoraco was injured in a collision with Cameron Maybin near home plate in the second inning of Monday night’s 11-5 loss to the Padres. The catcher was later ejected for arguing balls and strikes. Before leaving the field, he poked a finger at plate umpire Chad Fairchild’s chest protector and bumped him. Mesoraco played six innings Tuesday in a 7-6 Reds win before leaving with what was described as heat-related dizziness. He was suspended and fined an undisclosed amount Wednesday by Major League Baseball for making contact with Fairchild. Once he comes off the DL, Mesoraco will be allowed to play until his appeal is heard. He decided to challenge the penalty after speaking with general manager Walt Jock-

CINCINNATI REDS catcher Devin Mesoraco yells at home plate umpire Chad Fairchild (75) as head coach Dusty Baker, right, steps in to pull him back after Mesoraco was ejected for arguing balls and strikes in the third inning of a baseball game against the San Diego Padres, Monday in Cincinnati. etty and manager Dusty Baker. “They’ll look at my side. They’ll look at the umpire’s side. I’ll state my case, and we’ll see what happens,” Mesoraco said. “Whatever happens, happens. I just want to do the least amount to hurt the team.” His goal is to avoid missing games. “I don’t care what they fine me,” he said. Mesoraco said he was trying to stick up for his pitchers Monday. “We weren’t getting many calls, and I want to earn the respect of the players. I don’t need the umpires to like me. I’m trying to earn respect in the clubhouse,” he said. Mike Leake, who started
the game for Cincinnati, said he appreciated Mesoraco’s efforts. “It’s always good when somebody sticks up for others,” Leake said. “It’s always nice when a catcher sticks up for his pitchers.” Baker, however, wishes Mesoraco had tried a more subtle approach. “Stick up, not stick out,” the manager said, extending his right arm in a mime of Mesoraco’s actions. “It’s a tough situation for him. He’s young. We’ve all been there.” Mesoraco was batting .221 with five homers and 14 RBIs in 46 games for the NL Central leaders. His punishment was handed out by Joe Garagiola Jr., senior vice president of standards and on-field op-
erations for MLB. Redmond was recalled Tuesday from Louisville when left-hander Bill Bray went on the 15-day disabled list with back problems. Redmond has been called up to the majors three times this season but is yet to make his big league debut. He came up once with Atlanta for three days and twice for one-day stints with the Reds, who acquired him for infielder Paul Janish on July 14. Navarro, signed in January by the Reds as a minor league free agent, has spent the year at Louisville, where he was a midseason All-Star in the International League. He was hitting .330 with four home runs and 27 RBIs in 57 games with the Bats.

SHE’S A KEEPER The car Jimmie 1 Johnson won with at Dover in June was the same piece that propelled him to victory at Indianapolis. Johnson led 289 of 400 laps at Dover and 99 of 160 at the Brickyard. Johnson’s crew chief, Chad Knaus, said they’ll roll it out again at Chicagoland, the first race of the Chase. IN GOOD COMPANY Johnson’s fourth win at Indianapolis Motor Speedway ties him with Jeff Gordon for the most in NASCAR history — a history that dates back only to 1994. Though hardly comparable, openwheelers A.J. Foyt, Rick Mears and Al Unser Sr. are also four-time winners at the Brickyard, though their wins came in the Indianapolis 500. Michael Schumacher bests them all with five IMS wins in Formula One. CONTOVERSIAL DEBUT Brad Keselowski won the Nationwide Series’ inaugural event at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Indiana 250. Keselowski inherited the lead when Elliott Sadler was black flagged when NASCAR deemed he jumped a restart with17 laps to go, a ruling Sadler and his team disagreed with. “This is a tough one to swallow,” Sadler said. “Today my heart was definitely ripped out of my chest.” BACK ON TOP ... FINALLY Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits atop the NASCAR Sprint Cup point standings for the first time since October 2004 — a span of 280 races. After a win at Talladega, Earnhardt held a 13-point lead over Kurt Busch. However, when asked about the win in Victory Lane, said, “It don’t mean (expletive) right now. Daddy’s won here 10 times!” He was docked 25 points for the nationally-televised profanity and never regained the points lead.

Jimmie Johnson crosses the finish line at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in front of the track’s famed pagoda. By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor
It took Jimmie Johnson only 29 laps to steer his No. 48 Chevrolet to the front of the field in Sunday’s Brickyard 400. Once there, he rarely looked back, leading 99 of the final 131 laps to score his fourth Sprint Cup Series win at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Johnson, who qualified sixth, also gave Chevrolet its 10th straight win at the famed auto racing venue, while team owner Rick Hendrick scored his eighth win at IMS in NASCAR’s 19 visits. “I knew (the) second or third lap yesterday on the track that we were going to have an awfully good chance at winning,” Johnson said of Saturday’s first practice session. “That confidence that I had helped us through practice yesterday. There were a couple moments where maybe an adjustment didn’t work and we lost a little pace, but I just had a feeling, and I just knew we were going to be fine.
“We qualified well and then went out there today and put it on them, so ... solid performance.” Johnson beat Kyle Busch to the line by a race-record 4.758 seconds. Greg Biffle, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jeff Gordon rounded out the top 5. Johnson’s only real competition — Denny Hamlin (sixth) and Brad Keselowski (ninth) — led a total of 49 laps but faded late. Johnson’s third win of the season ties him with Keselowski and Tony Stewart for most on the circuit. Johnson’s previous three Brickyard wins also coincided with three of his four Cup titles (2006, ’08 and ’09). “I feel that from a performance standpoint, we’re as strong as we’ve ever been,” Johnson said. “We’ve had issues late in a race that’s cost us track position for a variety of reasons, and that’s the part that we need to make sure is buttoned up before the Chase starts and carry that through the Chase. “But from a performance standpoint, these are amazing racecars. We’ve made a lot of progress
I Based upon the final aerodynamic test results from July 18, NASCAR has announced that all four of its Original Equipment Manufacturers have met the necessary targets for the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series racecar. This means manufacturers (Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford and Toyota) can begin making parts and pieces for the new models. The four new models — Chevrolet’s SS, Dodge’s Charger, Ford’s Fusion and Toyota’s Camry — will make their race debuts in the 2013 Daytona 500. The designs are truer to each manufacturers’ street models, a trend NASCAR strayed

through the offseason and then getting started this year. I feel really good about the Chase — I’m ready for it to start.” Johnson’s shop mate at Hendrick Motorsports, Earnhardt, ascended to the top of the Sprint Cup championship standings thanks to a fourthplace showing. The previous points leader, Matt Kenseth, was swept up in a wreck on lap 134 of 160 and finished 35th. “You can’t win the championship until you lead the points,” said Earnhardt’s crew chief, Steve Letarte. “To lead at any time in the season, especially this late in the season, proves this team is capable of winning a championship. “We definitely haven’t hit our stride yet. There’s still room for improvement.” “We need to win more races,” Earnhardt added. “If we want to win the championship, we have to. I imagine we can win a couple races in the Chase. I don’t know if finishing fourth or fifth (each week) is going to do it.”
from with the introduction of the common-templated “Car of Tomorrow” in 2007. I Also making news in the model department, is Chevrolet, which announced it will campaign its popular Camaro model in the Nationwide Series next season. Chevy had elected to run the Impala nameplate since dropping its Monte Carlo line at the conclusion of the 2007 season. The Nationwide Series now boasts three “muscle car” models, as Chevy’s Camaro joins the Ford Mustang and the Dodge Challenger. Toyota will continue to run the Camry brand.
Classic Moments Pocono Raceway How’s this for a classic 1980s top 5: Tim Richmond, Darrell Waltrip, Bobby Allison, Neil Bonnett and Harry Gant. The five greats combined to lead 185 of 200 laps in the Like Cola 500 on July 24, 1983, at Pocono Raceway. Richmond, driving the Raymond Beadleowned Old Milwaukee Pontiac, started from the pole and swapped the lead with numerous drivers on numerous occasions throughout the day, as no driver led more than 14 consecutive laps. Richmond was able to get the jump on Waltrip’s No. 11 Pepsi Challenger on a restart on lap 194. He held serve from there, recording his first NASCAR superspeedway win. While the record for lead changes at Pocono was set in 1979 (56), the 41 witnessed on this day haven’t been topped since.
Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: It’s hard to ignore Denny Hamlin’s two wins and two fifthplace finishes over the last six Pocono visits. Pretty Solid Pick: Jimmie Johnson has three consecutive fourth-place finishes in the Pennsylvania mountains. Good Sleeper Pick: Mark Martin ran a close second to Joey Logano here in June. Runs on Seven Cylinders: Martin Truex Jr. has been consistent this year, but Pocono hasn’t been kind. Insider Tip: If Jeff Gordon’s luck is going to change, this is the track where it will happen.

Johnson has had two crashes in 2012, resulting in 42nd- and 36th-place finishes and one engine failure, leading to a 35th-place run. Otherwise, he’s been 12th or better every week. Junior has been nearly as good as his Hendrick teammate this year, with 17th- and 23rd-place runs the only blemishes outside of the top 15 through 20 races. Even before a crash ended his day in Indy, Kenseth wasn’t having a banner performance. How will this team handle its driver’s lame duck status down the stretch? Hamlin is certainly back to his contender status, with two wins on the season and three finishes of sixth or better in the last four races (including a near-miss in Loudon). Stewart somehow snuck into the top 10 by day’s end at Indy despite being a non-factor throughout the race. In fact, it was his worst showing (10th) at IMS since forming his own team. Along with Hamlin, Keselowski seemed the only driver with anything for Johnson. A slow pit stop doomed his chances and the three-time winner in 2012 settled for ninth. Front-end damage to Kahne’s Chevy forced the team to play catch-up all day in Indy. A popular prerace pick, Kasey persevered to a 12th-place showing. After a quiet three-race stretch where Biffle was all but invisible, he burst back onto the scene at the Brickyard with a confidence-building third-place finish. Time is running out for Gordon, who finds himself a distant 15th in the point standings with zero wins. Try as they might, the 24 team has been a fifth- to sixth-place car the last six weeks. Rebounded from what appeared to be some ugly sheet metal damage prior to the halfway mark at Indy to post a respectable 15th. It could’ve been worse. Indy was a typical run for Truex in 2012: Qualify in the mid-teens and finish about eighth. Up to 11th in the standings and currently a wild-card qualifier after a runner-up at the Brickyard. Fifteen points behind Busch in the wild card standings with a single win. It can be done. Averaging an 11.7-place finish — which Harvick has thus far — won’t win him a title. Had he started every race this year, Martin would slot in around 13th or 14th in the point standings. Marcos Ambrose, Carl Edwards, Joey Logano, Jamie McMurray, Paul Menard

CLEVELAND BROWNS wide receiver Josh Cribbs returns a punt during an NFL football training camp in Berea, Ohio Monday.
Cribbs ready for full-time special teams BEREA, Ohio (AP) — For the first time in five years, there is no ambiwith Joshua guity Cribbs’ role on the Cleveland Browns. Nor is there any talk about him playing wildcat quarterback, running back, or full-time wide receiver, for that matter. Cribbs is returning to his former spot as Cleveland’s special teams specialist, playing on all of its return and coverage units. And he needs to be good. “I’m going to rededicate myself to scoring touchdowns on kickoffs and punt returns,” Cribbs said Wednesday, “because that’s what our coaches want me to do. My role is changing again. They want more production out of special teams, so I’ll give it to them the best I can.” Cribbs, 29, already owns the NFL record with eight career kickoff return touchdowns ‚Äî one more than Seattle’s Leon Washington ‚Äî and averaged 25.0 yards per runback last season. The two-time Pro Bowl selection also ranks fifth in league history with 11 total return touchdowns, most recently taking back a punt 84 yards at Baltimore last Dec. 24. With that kind of ability on a team that annually needs a jolt offensively, Cribbs was installed into the offense by three Browns coaches: Romeo Crennel, Eric Mangini, and even Pat Shurmur last year. They gradually removed the 6foot-1, 215-pounder from their coverage units, and gave him a chance with the offense. The results? Not bad. Over the last four seasons, Cribbs logged 111 rushes for 639 yards, made 86 receptions, threw 11 passes, scored nine touchdowns, and started 26 games at wide receiver. The former Kent State quarterback’s production peaked in 2011, in fact, when he tied for the team lead with four receiving touchdowns and made a career-high 41 catches. But it’s time go back to the future, perhaps. Less than two weeks into camp, Shurmur has already shot down any chance Cribbs will better
those numbers this fall. “Josh is a special teams player that plays receiver,” Shurmur said flatly. “He’s a special teams player.” Cribbs has long expressed a desire to be an every-down player, but he read the handwriting on the wall during the offseason. Browns general manager Tom Heckand Shurmur ert repeatedly spoke of Greg Little as a potential No. 1 receiver, then drafted Baylor’s Josh Gordon in the second round of the supplemental draft. Also, veteran Mohamed Massaquoi and rookie Travis Benjamin have received significantly more snaps in camp, leaving Cribbs to take leftover reps while practicing in the return game. “I’ll have less of a role on offense maybe,” Cribbs said. “But I’ve just got to do my part on special teams and nobody will know the difference.” It’s not a bad school of thought. Cribbs, keep in mind, has 12,343 allpurpose yards in seven years with Cleveland. NOTES: QB Colt McCoy made his first public comments since camp opened, saying no reporters had asked to interview him until Wednesday. First-round draft choice Brandon Weeden has worked with the Browns’ top offense during camp and is expected to be named the starter soon. “I’ve taken all snaps with the second group and I’m still competing,” said McCoy, who went 4-9 in 13 starts last season. “That’s what I’m supposed to do. (This situation) doesn’t mean you don’t come out and compete and make yourself better.” ... DE Frostee Rucker sat out practice with an undisclosed injury, but Shurmur said he would be back soon, along with TE Evan Moore (undisclosed) and DT Ahytba Rubin (pelvic muscle surgery). The coach added that FB Eddie Williams (undisclosed) will be out “a while.” ... Second-year TE Jordan Cameron caught touchdown passes from Weeden, McCoy and third-stringer Seneca Wallace during a redzone drill. .
Montee Ball has changed the pronunciation of his first name — it’s Mon-tay instead of Mon-tee, if you don’t mind. That’s OK with the Badgers as long as their hard-charging tailback and Heisman finalist of a year ago keeps rolling up points and finding the end zone as Wisconsin aims for a third straight Big Ten title. Denard Robinson should have Brady Hoke’s offensive scheme figured out and after amassing more than 8,000 yards of total offense in his career, the talented Michigan quarterback will set sail on a senior season that got an enormous boost from a Sugar Bowl victory last January. In a normal year in the Big Ten, Ball and Robinson would be the headline grabbers. But this is not a normal year in the Big Ten, not by any stretch. There are new faces with big names in the coaching ranks. Former Florida coach Urban Meyer is back, trying to make Ohio State a force again after a 6-7 season that followed a memorabilia-for-tattoos scandal. But Meyer’s assignment pales when compared to what’s ahead for Bill O’Brien, who left the NFL for Penn State. He is facing a future that no coach would ever want, fighting to keep the Nittany Lions afloat in the face of crippling NCAA sanctions following the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal. He lost standout running back Silas Redd to USC on Tuesday. Leaders Division foes Ohio State and Penn State are both sidelined for the postseason by the NCAA, leaving only four teams to compete for a spot in the Big Ten title game and making the Ball-led Badgers heavy favorites. Wisconsin won the first league championship game a year ago against Michigan State before losing to Oregon in the Rose Bowl. Michigan State won 11 games in each of the last two seasons. But the Spartans must move on without prolific quarterback Kirk Cousins. And Nebraska has one of the top backs in the country in Rex Burkhead as the Cornhuskers look to build on their first season in the Big Ten.

First-year coach Bill O’Brien says he got a boost from a conversation with his former boss, Bill Belichick, when the New England Patriots coach told him he doesn’t buy the talk that Penn State football is dead. ... After all the difficult times the Nittany Lions have enanswering countered questions about the sanctions that followed the Jerry Sandusky sex scandal, O’Brien said the Nittany Lions can’t wait for practice to start. O’Brien promises they will have some fun, despite all the distractions, though he lost star running back Silas Redd to USC. PURDUE — Key players: QB Caleb TerBush, RB Ralph Bolden, CB Ricardo Allen, LB Will Lucas, DT Kawann Short, KR/WR Raheem Mostert. Returning starters: 9 offense, 10 defense.

They go into stores and yell, “Charge!” *** The reason worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work. ***

Badminton players kicked out LONDON (AP) — Eight badminton players at the London Olympics were kicked out of competition Wednesday for trying to lose — a display that drew outrage from fans and organizers who said the women had violated the most sacred stage in sports. After an unexpected loss by a strong Chinese doubles team, the eight women appeared to play poorly on purpose to secure a more favorable position in the next phase. The feeble play was obvious to fans who attended the matches Tuesday night at Wembley Arena and to incredulous television broadcasters and viewers watching around the world. "They're serving fault and fault!" the BBC's David Mercer said in disbelief. "They are both trying to lose, and that is unforgivable. This is the Olympic Games."
USA’s Franklin wins 2nd gold HIGHLIGHTS OF DAY 5 The Associated Press • Nathan Adrian made a name for himself by winning the 100meter freestyle, lunging to the wall to edge James “The Missile” Magnussen by one-hundredth of a second —the slightest margin possible — to again deny Australia its first individual swimming gold. • Seventeen-year-old Missy Franklin won her second gold, swimming the leadoff leg of the 4x200 freestyle relay. Allison Schmitt and Dana Vollmer also got their second golds, and rounding out the relay team was Shannon Vreeland. • American Kristin Armstrong defended her title in the women’s time trial, beating Judith Arndt of Germany by more than 15 seconds to get the gold. • Kohei Uchimura of Japan added Olympic gold to the gymnastics world titles he’s won the last three years.

FAITH WITER, 10, and LIzzie Witer, 12, play with Barbies at the Anna Community Park on Wednesday. Lizzie and Faith are the daughters of Tony and Jenni Witer, of Anna. In 1974, the Anna Ladies League raised money to purchase 31 trees for the park, with others donated by friends and from woods in the area. The late Dick Fogt, an Anna resident, donated his time to plant the trees and continued to plant trees for the next 10 years. In 1979, the Anna Ladies League disbanded and donated all of their funds to the park. Today, thanks to the hard work of many Anna village residents and officials, the park has become a favorite spot for village residents. According to Village Administrator Nancy Benroth, the festivities will begin at 3 p.m. at the park, with a welcome and flag raising by the Heiland American Legion Post of Anna. Following the flag raising, a dedication and ribbon cutting will be held for

the newly named “Anna Ladies League Lane” at the park, in honor of the members of the Anna Ladies League whose idea for a park helped to make it possible. Local officials including council members, park board members and others have been invited to participate. Benroth noted that at 3:45 p.m., a brief talk will be given on the park’s history and at 4 p.m., the games begin with a corn hole tournament on the park tennis

event is open to the public. “We’d like to see as many people out there as possible….watch the concerts and fireworks.” Benroth did note that anyone planning to attend the events should bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit and watch the concerts and fireworks. Gary Strasser, an Anna Council member and chairman of the Anna Parks and Recreation Committee, who together with the Anna Parks and Recreation Committee organized the birthday bash, is also inviting everyone to attend. “I just hope everyone comes out and enjoys themselves. Thaat’s what I’m hoping for.” “I would like to thank all the sponsors.” Anna Parks and Recreation are sponsoring the event with the help of many donations totalling around $35,000 to $45,000 for this event and new additions to the park. “I would like to thank all the sponsors,” Strasser said, for their donations. Those wanting to attend can take County Road 25A north to Anna, turn left on West Main Street and cross the railroad tracks and the park is on the right.

Bikes for a Cause was established just last year in order to sponsor events as fundraisers. “It kind of breaks your heart,” Erwin said. “I can’t cure anything. I can’t stop the disease. But this is my way of wanting to help. I do what little I can. If everyone did whatever they could, we’d make a big difference.”

ANNA — Anna officials and village residents are inviting everyone from Shelby County to help them celebrate the Anna Community Park “Birthday Bash” to be held on Saturday. The Anna Community Park will celebrate 40 years of providing a place for local residents to enjoy picnics, a quiet walk and the concerts that fill the air on summer nights with a “Birthday Bash” they hope everyone will enjoy. In 1968, the Anna wastewater treatment plant land was purchased from Katharyn Taylor for $1. While 10 of those acres were not needed, in 1969, the Anna Ladies League began thinking about using the 10 acres to create a community park. In 1970, Henry Horstman and the FFA applied for a grant from the Ohio FFA “Better Our America Communities” and were awarded $1,000, which was used to purchase four trash containers, grass seed and fertilizer, two grills, two picnic tables, a flag pole and 1,500 arborvitae tree seedlings. The FFA provided the labor and along with the help of their fathers, worked to create the park. By the fall of 1972, the park was officially dedicated and the Shelby County Soil and Water Conservation District provided local officials with a plan for trees, shelter houses and playground equipment. By 1973, the Village of Anna created the Park and Recreation Committee.
wiches, potato chips, ice cream, cake and soft drinks. Clarence Pfaadt, organist at St. Jacob Lutheran Church, will provide music during dinner time. During the event, the Anna High School cheerleaders will offer face painting and hair braiding at no charge for those who would like to have that done. Allan Nott Honda and Toyota of Lima will have new cars for people to check out during the celebration. Also present will be WMVR Radio Hits 105.5. At 7 p.m., the Anna High School band will perform and their performance will be followed by Useless Trivia emceed by Gary Strasser, who is the chairman of the park and recreation committee. Prizes will be awarded to the winners. At 8:30 p.m., “Spittin’ Image” will perform for the crowd and at 10 p.m., there will be fireworks to end a day of celebration, weather permitting. Zambelli Fireworks of Pennsylvania will set off the fireworks. Benroth hopes the park will be filled with Shelby County residents and those from other areas wanting to celebrate a day of fun since the

that he supports it. Our society has been fed lies that have come straight from the pits of hell. When we as men fail to fight for our families they are left searching for answers. They are left looking for the void that we as men have left. If we don’t give them the things that they need then the father of lies, Satan himself, will lie to them. He will convince them that they need what he has to offer. We as men have listened to the lies as well. We have taken a step back and allowed Satan to tell us that we don’t amount to anything. We are afraid to stand up and stand out. Satan has told us to sit down and be quiet. He has told us that we can’t change anything, that we have made too big of a mess of things. He has convinced us not to fight, that it will bring confrontation. Men, it is time that we rise up and love our wives as Christ loves the church. It is time that
we fight for our children before Satan fills their heads with lies. It is time that we wake up and do it God’s way. The Bible says in Ephesians 5:1416: “Wherefore he saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee. Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise; redeeming the time, because the days are evil. It is time to move as men. If you don’t know Christ, then all you have to do is ask for forgiveness of the wrongs in your life and let God be No. 1. These days are evil. But if we as godly men would stand up and be courageous and fight for what is right, God will move. This nation needs a revival of great proportion. It is time for us to be men and lead the way one family at a time.

Just days before they were to be wed at the church, the Wilsons were told the wedding would not be permitted because some members of the congregation didn’t want a black couple to be married there. The couple had been attending the church and had plans to join. The wedding was moved to a nearby church and officiated by the First Baptist pastor, the Rev.

Bible as screenplay: New translation uses unique format NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A new Bible translation tackles the challenge of turning ancient Greek and Hebrew texts into modern American English and then adds a twist: It’s written like a screenplay. Take the passage from Genesis in which God gets angry at Adam for eating the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil: “Adam (pointing at the woman): It was she! The woman You gave me as a companion put the fruit in my hands, and I ate it. “God (to the woman): What have you done? “Eve: It was the serpent! He tricked me, and I ate.” Later, Eve bears her first son, Cain. “Eve (excited): Look, I have created a new human, a male child, with the help of the Eternal.”
Even people who have never read the Bible could probably guess that other translations don’t say Adam pointed his finger at Eve when he blamed her for his disobedience. Neither do other Bibles describe Eve as “excited” about her newborn son. That’s pure Hollywood, but the team behind “The Voice” says it isn’t a gimmick. They hope this new version will help readers understand the meaning behind the sometimes archaic language of the Bible and enjoy the story enough to stick with it. The idea was a longtime dream of Chris Seay, pastor of Houston’s Ecclesia Church. Seay had had success in helping church members relate to the Bible by dividing out the parts of the various speakers and assigning roles to church members who read them aloud. The idea struck a nerve with Frank Couch, the vice president of

translation development for Nashville-based religious publisher Thomas Nelson, who had performed Bible-inspired sketches on the streets of Berkeley, Calif., in his youth. The result of their efforts, as well as a team of translators who worked alongside poets, writers and musicians, is “The Voice,” released in its full version earlier this year. “The biggest thing, the unexpected plus, is that people will read an entire book of the Bible because it reads like a novel,” Couch said. “It engages your imagination in a different way,” Seay said, expressing his hope that “The Voice” helps people to “fall in love with the story of the Bible.” “The Voice” not only reformats the Bible but also inserts words and phrases into the text to clarify the action or smooth transitions. These words are generally in italics so the reader can tell what the additions are. At other points, the order of verses is changed to make the story read better. Some earlier attempts to make the Bible accessible to a modern audience met with heavy criticism from people who thought the translators were taking too many liberties with the word of God, Wake Forest University
Religion Professor Bill Leonard said. But those translators were attempting to deal with a real problem — increasing Bible illiteracy, even among those who attended church regularly, he said. Eugene Peterson, translator of the popular “The Message” Bible, published in 1993, said he was braced for the negative reaction faced by some of his predecessors, but they didn’t materialize. “I was surprised that the reception was so immediate and so positive,” he said. “…I think the one thing I hear most often is, ‘This is the first time in my life I understood the Bible.’” Leonard said modern translations seem to have become less controversial as the total number of Bible translations has expanded, although the 2011 New International Version managed to cause a stir by employing some gender-neutral and gender-inclusive language, something “The Voice” doesn’t do. It does, however, take out the word “Christ,” which many people have come to think of as Jesus’ last name, rather than a title bestowed upon him by the Gospel writers to show that they believed he was God’s “Anointed One” — the chosen translation in “The Voice.”

Black couple forced to change wedding site
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A Mississippi couple says the church where they planned to get married turned them away because they are black. Charles and Te’Andrea Wilson say they had set the date and mailed invitations, but the day before their wedding they say they got bad news from the pastor of predominantly white First Baptist Church of Crystal Springs: Some members of the church complained about the black couple having a wedding there. The Wilsons, who live in nearby Jackson, said they attend the church regularly although they are not members. Pastor Stan Weatherford told WLBT TV he was surprised when a small number of church members opposed holding the wedding at the church. “This had never been done before here, so it was setting a new precedent, and there are those who reacted to that because of that,” said Weatherford. Weatherford performed the July 21 ceremony at another church. “I didn’t want to have a controversy within the church, and I didn’t want a controversy to affect the wedding of Charles and Te’Andrea. I wanted to make sure their wedding day was a special day,” said Weatherford. WLBT reported that church officials now say they welcome any race. They plan to hold internal meetings on how to move forward. Church member Casey Kitchens said she and other members of the congregation are outraged by the church’s refusal to marry a black couple, a decision she says most of the congregation knew nothing about. “This is a small, small group of people who made a terrible decision,” Kitchens told The ClarionLedger “I’m just ashamed right now that my church would do that. I can’t fathom why. How unfair. How unjust. It’s just wrong.” “I blame the First Baptist Church of Crystal Springs, I blame those members who knew and call themselves Christians and didn’t stand up,” said Charles Wilson. Wilson told the newspaper that he understands Weatherford was caught in a difficult position and he still likes the pastor, but he also thinks the pastor should have stood up to the members who didn’t want the couple to marry in the church. “It’s not reflective of the spirit of the Lord and Mississippi Baptists,” the Mississippi Baptist Convention executive director, the Rev. Jim Futral, said. “It’s just a step backward. … It’s a sad thing.”

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, Aug. 3, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a mystical day. (That’s why your Spidey sense is working overtime.) Trust your gut reactions. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Work with others today, especially in group situations, because you might be able to benefit someone. In turn, someone might say or do something that causes you to change your future goals. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be careful! Some aspect of your private life will be made public today. Be aware of this in case you have something to hide. (Who doesn’t?) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Confusion regarding travel plans might occur today; therefore, doublecheck schedules and details. Because your idealism is aroused, you will be attracted to unusual philosophies and religions. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Even though you feel sympathetic to others and you want to improve their situation, don’t give away the farm. Your feelings of sympathy might cloud your judgment today. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Feelings of mutual sympathy exist between you and close friends today. However, resist the urge to improve somebody. (This could go over like a lead balloon.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) In many ways, this is a good day to suggest improvements and reforms at work. (Perhaps you have ideas about how to improve your health.) Be realistic, and don’t shoot for impossible standards. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Romantic love can flourish today. Nevertheless, your judgment might be off, so don’t jump into a new relationship with both feet and your hopes too high. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) If you can help a family member today, you will. Or perhaps, you need help from someone else. Either way, this is a good day for people to pull together for a common purpose. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might spend lots of time daydreaming or woolgathering, because it’s easy to drift off into fantasyland. Yet ironically, in discussions with others, you’re very convincing! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Be careful with all your financial negotiations today, because confusion is possible. For starters, wishing will not necessarily make it so. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Because you are unusually tuned in to what others are thinking today, instead of promoting communication, it might confuse you. That’s because your normal mental buffers are not filtering out information. (Too much static.) YOU BORN TODAY You’re so courageous, adventurous and idealistic, you will face danger even in your quest for higher knowledge and answers. Your belief in yourself is what makes you tick. You feel strongly protective of loved ones. You always want to protect the underdog and rescue those in need. In the year ahead, you will begin an exciting new cycle. Open any door!

drunk any caffeine or smoked a cigarette for 30 minutes before pressure is recorded. At the first visit, blood pressure in both arms has to be measured, and two blood pressure readings should be taken with a two minute break between the recordings. If there’s a difference between the pressure in the right and left arms, the higher reading determines the true blood pressure. The arm should be at heart level and comfortably supported by an adjacent table or the examination table. Unless the pressure is extremely high, no medicine is prescribed until a second visit one or two weeks later. Admittedly, all the rules can’t be observed all the time; they should be for the majority of times.

Warn her that if it doesn’t happen, you will inform the fraud division of your local police and let them deal with her. Then follow through.

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.
