Wall Street rally slows BY DEB RIECHMANN The Associated Press A stock market rally lost steam Wednesday after mixed earnings from U.S. companies added to fears about Europe’s economic slowdown. Several big consumer goods companies warned that weak demand in Europe was cutting into their revenue.

That followed worrisome economic news from England, France and Germany, where growth had offset recessions in other European countries like Italy and Greece. Major U.S. stock indexes were mixed in afternoon trading. The Dow Jones industrial average rose eight points to 13,176 as of 1:15 p.m. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index added a fraction of a

point to 1,401. The Nasdaq composite index fell four to 3,011. The Dow had risen 290 points over the previous three trading days. On Tuesday, the S&P 500 passed 1,400 and the Nasdaq composite closed above 3,000, both for the first time since early May. As stocks in New York traded tentaSee RALLY/Page 7

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Two gunmen wearing Afghan army uniforms killed a U.S. soldier and wounded two others Tuesday, hours after Afghanistan’s defense minister stepped down following a weekend no-confidence vote in parliament. The exit of Defense Minister Abdul Rahim Wardak leaves a vacancy at the helm of the ministry that has overseen rapid expansion of the nation’s army. Afghan soldiers are increasingly taking their positions on the front lines of the war as foreign combat troops withdraw. NATO’s goal is to turn over security responsibility to local forces by the end of 2014. Wardak’s resignation comes at the peak of the summer fighting season. Violence on Tuesday hit eastern and southern Afghanistan, where militants have their deepest roots. The two gunmen wearing Afghan National Army uniforms fired on NATO troops at See SOLDIER/Page 7

State Fair grand champion Kaitlin Gillman, 15, won the grand champion ribbon for her meat pen of rabbits at the Ohio State Fair recently. She is the daughter of Kevin and Kathy Gillman, of Sidney.

The Shelby County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating several instances of trash dumping along the Great Miami River near Sidney, Sheriff John Lenhart said in a news release issued Tuesday. “We are looking for information from the public to help us with our investigation into this matter and locate the person or persons responsible for river dumping,” the sheriff said. “Our environment is precious commodity and dumping of trash and construction debris will not be tolerated.” Lenhart said anyone with information can call the sheriff ’s office at 498-1111 or the Crime Stoppers Anonymous TIPS line at 492-8477. The sheriff said the latest dumping incidents are unfortunate in that over the week-

end of July 21-22, volunteers in the annual Clean Sweep of the Great Miami recovered 13,580 pounds of items in an area from Roadside Park at the south end of Sidney to the Piqua Power Plant at the south end of Piqua. Included in the items, the sheriff ’s release said, were: • 7,000 pounds of roofing shingles and nails. • A 200 gallon water tank full of silt. • 53 vehicle tires and a 55 gallon drum of used motor oil. Numerous other Clean Sweep groups cleaned section of the river from Indian Lake to the Ohio River.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, was recovering Wednesday from heart surgery, days after his 82nd birthday. It wasn’t clear where the surgery occurred or where Armstrong was recuperating. A NASA spokesman who talked to Armstrong’s wife, Carol, said only that the

former astronaut was recovering Wednesday. His birthday was Sunday. A Facebook statement from NASA Administrator Charles Bolden wished Armstrong a quick recovery from cardiac bypass surgery. “Neil’s pioneering spirit will surely serve him well in this challenging time and the entire NASA Family is

holding the Armstrong family in our thoughts and prayers,” the statement said. Armstrong commanded the Apollo 11 spacecraft that landed on the moon on July 20, 1969, and he radioed back to Earth the historic news of “one giant leap for mankind.” He spent nearly three hours walking on the moon

with fellow astronaut Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin. A message Wednesday on Aldrin’s Twitter account also wished Armstrong well. Armstrong and his wife married in 1999 and made their home in the Cincinnati suburb of Indian Hill, but he has largely stayed out of public view in recent years.

Report: Women recruit girls for sex trade Some findings about sex trafficking in Ohio

The report included six recommendations to combat sex trafficking, including establishing a better response for runaways focusing on arresting and convicting buyers and engaging schools in the fight. “We need to get to the root of the problem and make sure these kids don’t slip through the cracks,” Attorney General Mike DeWine said in a statement. More than 1,000 Ohio children are trafficked every year, according to a 2010 report by the commission, which cited weak human-trafficking

laws in Ohio compared with other states and the state’s proximity to the Canadian border as driving factors for the problem. The problem led state Rep. Teresa Fedor, a Toledo Democrat and member of the commission, to introduce a bill in the Legislature known as the “safe harbor law,” which went into effect in June. The law makes human trafficking a first-degree felony with a mandatory prison term of between 10 and 15 years. It allows victims to sue their traffickers for damages and to have

He said those who know Wise would “take it on face as a mercy killing, because they know John.” Police say Wise calmly walked into his 65-yearold wife’s room Saturday at Akron General Medical Center without drawing any attention and shot her at her bedside. She died the next morning. On Wednesday morning, Wise appeared before a municipal court judge in Akron via video from jail, but did not enter a plea. He must return to court Aug. 22. His attorney, Paul Adamson, said after the brief court session that Wise was a good man. “I think his past history bears that out,” Adamson said. “Forty-five years of marriage, blessed to be deeply in love with his

wife throughout those 45 years, and I am absolutely confident that everything that he’s ever done for his wife has been done out of deep love, including the events that just recently transpired,” the lawyer said. Barbara Wise suffered triple cerebral aneurysms on July 28 and had been left unable to speak, Henderson said. He said he drove Wise to visit her at the hospital three times last week and that his friend had seemed to be holding up well. Henderson said he is certain that Wise intended to kill his wife and then himself. Authorities say Wise took a taxi 25 miles to the hospital. Taking the taxi, Henderson said, showed “he had no intention of coming home.” Henderson said he suspects the handgun jammed and that Wise had difficulty unjamming it because of nerve damage that was so severe it left him unable to drive. A woman who identified herself as a nurse told a 911 dispatcher that people in the ICU heard a popping sound and ran to Barbara Wise’s room

where they saw a man dressed in black. “We saw him sitting there with a gun. He was, like, loading it,” she said. Wise was an exemplary husband without a hint of domestic violence, Henderson said. Court records showed no serious charges against him. Wise never went out with the guys at night, instead staying home with his wife, Henderson said. He said Wise never wanted to become disabled in a nursing home and mentioned that Barbara Wise felt the same way. “You wouldn’t meet a more loving husband,” he said. Emergency personnel responded to the Wises’ home in Massillon on July 28, a week before the shooting, for a medical call that involved advanced life support, including oxygen and a heart monitor. A man, apparently Wise, told an emergency dispatcher that his wife was vomiting and not responding. “My wife is having some sort of a spasm or attack,” the man said, giving the couple’s address. “Hurry.”

AKRON (AP) — A man accused in the fatal shooting of his wife of 45 years in a hospital intensive care unit once told his longtime co-worker that the couple had agreed they never wanted to become disabled in a nursing home. Authorities on Wednesday charged John Wise, 66, with aggravated murder in his wife’s death as police continued to investigate whether it was a mercy killing. Terry Henderson, who worked at a northeast Ohio steel plant with Wise for three decades, said he believes his friend did not want his wife, Barbara Wise, to suffer after having three aneurysms. “John Wise is no criminal. He did what he did out of love,” said Henderson, whose voice remained steady Wednesday except for a

Regulators rule on new AEP pricing structure COLUMBUS (AP) — Customers of American Electric Power could see an estimated 6 to 7 percent increase in their monthly bills during the first year of a new pricing plan that Ohio utility regulators approved Wednesday. The changes come as the Columbus-based company transitions from decades as a regulated monopoly to a player in a competitive market. The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio decided at its Wednesday meeting to freeze AEP’s base generation rate, which typically makes up the largest portion of a customer’s monthly bill. But customers will still see an increase to their bills starting in September because of other fees in the newly approved pricing plan and variables such as fuel costs.

The 6 to 7 percent increase to monthly utility bills is only an estimate for the first year. Commission chairman Todd Snitchler said it’s not yet known what the increases to customers’ bills will be in the remaining two years of the plan.

CINCINNATI (AP) — A report released Wednesday paints a vivid picture of the shadowy world of sex trafficking in Ohio, from its recruiters and groomers to its customers and pimps. The report, released by the state Human Trafficking Commission and conducted over a three-year period, is based on interviews with 328 victims in Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, Cleveland and Toledo. Of those interviewed, 115 reported that they were forced into the trade when they were under 18, with 12 percent of them sold before they were even 12 years old. The vast majority of the girls forced into prostitution reported that they were recruited by women who were involved in the trade themselves or who at first acted like a friend, the report said. Adults who were manipulated into the trade after they turned 18 were more likely to be recruited by a man who acted like a boyfriend before becoming threatening and violent, according to the report. The report identified six roles involving sex-

trafficking networks and found that so-called “bottoms,” who are always women, are the most valued members. “As the second in command, she is charged with teaching victims how to make money effectively and efficiently, demanding the quota from victims in the pimp’s stable, and doling out the consequences if someone breaks the rules,” the report said. It also said the victims reported that customers came from all walks of life, ages and races. They included drug dealers, businessmen, police officers, lawyers, truckers, athletes and politicians. They paid anywhere from $10 to $150, depending on what sexual services they wanted. Many of the exchanges occurred in the customers’ own homes or offices, but they also frequently occurred in brothels, truck stops, motels, bars, on the street and at strip clubs, the report said. The report, which also detailed risk factors of children forced into sex trafficking, found that 63 percent of those interviewed reported having run away from home. Many also experienced child abuse, had been raped, experienced trouble in school and came from poverty.

Waiver: Gutting rules or tweaking?

TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Thursday, Aug. 9, the 222nd day of 2012. There are 144 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 9, 1974, President Richard Nixon and his family left the White House as his resignation took effect. Vice President Gerald R. Ford became the nation’s 38th chief executive. On this date: ■ In 1842, the United States and Canada resolved a border dispute by signing the Webster-Ashburton Treaty. ■ In 1854, Henry David Thoreau’s “Walden,” which described Thoreau’s experiences while living near Walden Pond in Massachusetts, was first published. ■ In 1862, during the Civil War, Confederate forces drove back Union troops in the Battle of Cedar Mountain in Culpeper County, Va. ■ In 1902, Edward VII was crowned king of Britain following the death of his mother, Queen Victoria. ■ In 1936, Jesse Owens won his fourth gold medal at the Berlin Olympics as the United States took first place in the 400meter relay. ■ In 1942, Britain arrested Indian nationalist Mohandas K. Gandhi; he was released in 1944. ■ In 1944, 258 AfricanAmerican sailors based at Port Chicago, Calif., refused to load a munitions ship following an explosion on another ship that killed 320 men, many of them black. (Fifty of the sailors were convicted of mutiny, fined and imprisoned.) ■ In 1945, three days after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan, the United States exploded a nuclear device over Nagasaki, killing an estimated 74,000 people. ■ In 1962, Germanborn Swiss poet and author Hermann Hesse, 85, died in Montagnola, Switzerland. ■ In 1969, actress Sharon Tate and four other people were found brutally slain at Tate’s Los Angeles home; cult leader Charles Manson and a group of his followers were later convicted of the crime. ■ In 1982, a federal judge in Washington ordered John W. Hinckley Jr., who’d been acquitted of shooting President Ronald Reagan and three others by reason of insanity, committed to a mental hospital.

OUT OF THE BLUE

‘Kiss-in’ follows man’s arrest MEXICO CITY (AP) — The arrest of a man after a woman objected to him kissing his female companion in public has prompted a “kiss-in” protest in a conservative Mexico city. An official of the northern city of Leon says authorities are investigating police who arrested the man, identified as Manuel Berumen. City spokesman Jesus Montano says Berumen’s 12-hour arrest and 850peso ($65 fine) fine for “insulting police” and arguing with the woman who complained appear to have been unjustified. Montano said Monday there is no law against public kissing in Leon. About a dozen couples gathered in the same spot Sunday for a public “kiss-in” to protest the arrest.

SYRIANS ON motorcycles look at the damage of a destroyed house after it was hit by an air strike killing six Syrians in town of Tal Rifat on the outskirts of Aleppo city, Syria, Wednesday. In another sign of violence continuing throughout Syria, Syrian fighter jets carried out air strikes early Wednesday on the village of Tel Rifat north of Aleppo, hitting a home and a high school and killing six people from the same family, residents said.

Syrian troops push into Aleppo to oust rebels TEL RIFAT, Syria (AP) — Syria launched a ground assault Wednesday on rebel-held areas of the besieged city of Aleppo, the center of battles between government forces and opposition fighters for more than two weeks. It was not immediately clear if the offensive was “the mother of all battles” that Syria’s statecontrolled media vowed last month would take place for control of Aleppo. In recent weeks, the regime’s blistering attacks on rebel positions seem to have slowly chipped away at the opposition’s grip on its strongholds in the country’s largest city. The official SANA news agency said regime forces have fully regained control of the Salaheddine neighborhood, the main rebel area in Aleppo. It claimed the “fall” of hundreds of “armed terrorists,” the government’s catchall term for its opponents, without specifying what that meant. Rami Abdul-Rahman, the director of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said troops met resist-

ance in the offensive. About 25 miles (40 kilometers) north of Aleppo, Syrian fighter jets carried out airstrikes early Wednesday on the village of Tel Rifat, hitting a home and a high school and killing six people from the same family, residents said. Resident Mohammed Zakkour, 35, said the sound of the jets and blasts jolted him awake and he left his house to see a huge cloud of dust and smoke rising above the village. Hours later, all that remained of a small home in the village was a tangled pile of rubble and iron bars. A bouquet of plastic red flowers poked out of the rubble, and clothes still hung from one of the few walls that remained standing. There was a large bloodstain on a rock where residents said they found one of the bodies. “The bodies were under the rubble,” Zakkour said. “Some were cut in half and parts of them had been blown onto the neighbors’ roofs.” Neighbors said the six were members of the Blaw family: the grandfather, his adult

daughter and son, the son’s wife and two of their cousins. Other strikes left two carsized craters in the courtyard of the adjacent Tadamor Girls’ High School. It was unclear why the area was targeted. Residents said government forces often shelled the village, but that this had been the first airstrike. They acknowledged that there were some rebels in the village, though an Associated Press reporter saw no armed men during a brief drive through the area. Residents said the Blaw family was not involved in the uprising. “They were simple farmers who had a tractor and a car wash,” Zakkour said. “They never had anything to do with politics.” The international community has widely condemned the Syrian regime’s use of fighter planes in the civil war. The attention has focused on the struggle for Aleppo, but Wednesday’s attack shows that the regime is using such methods elsewhere.

RALLY tively, the dollar rose against the euro, a sign that investors are becoming more fearful. “It’s not unusual for the market to pull back a bit after a strong move, absorb the latest earnings news and look to see the next catalyst to move higher,” Quincy Krosby, market strategist with Prudential Financial , said. The market is being held back in part by reports from consumer-goods companies that weak sales in Europe are hurting revenue, Krosby said. Consumer discretionary stocks fell the most among the 10 industry groups in the S&P 500. McDonalds fell $1.39, or 2 percent, to $87.62 after the company said a key revenue figure came in flat in July as

WASHINGTON (AP) — Welfare is causing a ruckus in the presidential campaign. But the program is a shadow of its old self from the 1970s, when Ronald Reagan used the image of “welfare queens” to assail government poverty programs promoted by liberals. Nowadays government cash assistance to the poor is mainly conditioned on work. And the Obama administration waivers excoriated by Mitt Romney as gutting welfare reform are unlikely to reverse that basic policy, as even some architects of work requirements acknowledge. “If Washington were different and … people could sit down and reason together, it’s not impossible to think that Republicans and Democrats would come to an agreement on waivers similar to what the administration is proposing,” said Ron Haskins, co-director of the Brookings Center on Children and Families. As a senior House GOP aide in the 1990s, Haskins helped write the original welfare-to-work legislation. The Obama administration says it does not want to waive work requirements, but instead primarily federal administrative rules, including some that tie up state caseworkers who could be serving clients. The 1996 welfare reform law, a pillar of social policy for conservatives, replaced a federal entitlement with grants to the states, while putting a time limit on how long families can get aid and requiring recipients to eventually go to work. Welfare caseloads declined for years before the recession, and there are only about 2 million families on what’s now called Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or TANF for short. It’s dwarfed by the Earned Income Tax Credit, the government’s main anti-poverty program, which supplements the earnings of low-income families through the tax system and helps nearly 27 million households.

From Page 1 the weakening global economy took a toll on customers of the world’s biggest burger chain. McDonalds was the weakest stock in the Dow. Priceline.com fell more than $100 after warning investors late Tuesday that its third-quarter revenue and income would come in far below anlaysts’ forecasts because of the deepening malaise in Europe. Priceline’s stock sank $108.20, or 16 percent, to $571.54. Priceline’s travails dragged on other online travel sites. Expedia and TripAdvisor both fell 5 percent. That made them three of the four biggest losers in the S&P 500 index. Ralph Lauren fell $3.85, or 3 percent, to $149.18 after the

company forecast a revenue decline in the current quarter and cautioned that the weak global economy might reduce spending on its clothes and housewares. “It’s no longer a theoretical argument that Europe is hampering earnings for American companies,” Krosby said. “It’s a reality, and you’re seeing that today.” Earlier Wednesday, the Bank of England said it expects the country’s economy to stagnate this year. Only three months earlier, in its previous quarterly inflation report, the BOE had forecast annual growth of 0.8 percent. Separately, the French central bank said it expects France’s economy to contract

SOLDIER a base in Paktia province of eastern Afghanistan, killing a soldier, according to the U.S.-led coalition and Afghan officials. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the shooting, the latest in a rising number of so-called “green-on-blue” attacks in which Afghan security forces, or insurgents disguised in their uniforms, kill their U.S. or NATO partners. The international military coalition did not disclose the nationality of the service member killed, but a U.S. official said he was American. A second American official said two U.S. service members were wounded. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to disclose the information to reporters. So far this year, 27 coalition troops have been killed in 20 such attacks, ac-

in the third quarter, the second pullback in a row. Standard & Poor’s lowered its outlook on Greece’s longterm credit rating, saying the bailed-out nation will likely need more aid from its international lenders as its economy crumbles and leaders delay imposing harsh austerity measures. And in Germany, industrial output and exports dropped sharply in June, a sign that Europe’s strongest economy might finally be succumbing to the regional crisis. Bloomin’ Brands Inc., operator of the Outback Steakhouse and other restaurant chains, jumped $1.88, or 17 percent, to $12.88 in its first day of trading on the Nasdaq.

From Page 1 cording to an Associated Press tally. That compares with 11 fatal attacks and 20 deaths the previous year. In 2007 and 2008 there was a combined total of four attacks and four deaths. Overall this year, 272 U.S. and NATO troops have died in Afghanistan. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said in a statement that one Afghan soldier killed nine U.S. troops. The Taliban often exaggerate the death tolls from their attacks. “The soldier who opened fire on the Americans had long been in contact with Taliban in the area,” Mujahid said. “The soldier has escaped and has joined the Taliban.” The second U.S. official said both of the gunmen in Afghan army uniforms were in custody. The Taliban also claimed responsibility for Tuesday’s midmorning blast at a

NATO base in Logar province, southeast of Kabul. A suicide attacker, who placed explosives under a load of gravel, drove a pickup truck into a gate of the base near Logar’s capital of Pul-i-Alam, provincial police chief Ghulam Sakhi Roogh Lawanay said. At least 11 Afghan civilians were wounded, he said. Earlier, a remote-controlled roadside bomb struck a bus traveling northwest of Kabul, killing at least nine passengers, police said. The militant who set off the device was captured by local villagers in Paghman district of Kabul province. The bomb exploded when the bus drove over a bridge, said Mohammad Zahir, the criminal director for Kabul police. Broken glass and abandoned shoes of victims littered the road near the bus, which was flipped onto its side.

Truckers for Christ chaplains established a nondenominational chapel several years ago at the Sav-a-Ton Truck Stop in Anna. Chaplain Darwin Burkholder said nearly 100 people were on hand for the July 28 dedication in memory of Pastor Lynn Shunk.

On hand for the dedication were his wife, Junnella, of Springfield, and their children, Jeff Shunk, of Elizabeth City, N.C., and Linda Hagerman, of Springfield. Shunk was the senior pastor at Fellowship Life Church in London and co-founder of Springfield Christian Motorcyclists. He was deeply involved in the Trucker’s for Christ Ministry and died two years ago of heart failure, according to Burkholder. Prior to the dedication, local Christian singers performed and testimony was shared by members of Shunk’s family. Burkholder said riders from

Lima, London, Piqua, Sidney and Westerville also participated in the event, including the Wheels of Truth motorcycle club of the Sidney First Church of the Nazarene. Following the run throughout the west end of the county, a lunch was provided at Christian Academy Schools where door prizes donated by local merchants were given away. Burkholder said nearly $1,700 was raised from entry fees and donations with the minimal profits to be used toward the purchase of Bibles, new tires and a generator for a mobile chapel.

Ruins hint at Iraqi Christians’ past NAJAF, Iraq (AP) — A hundred meters or so from taxiing airliners, Iraqi archaeologist Ali alFatli is showing a visitor around the delicately carved remains of a church that may date back some 1,700 years to early Christianity. The church, a monastery and other surrounding ruins have emerged from the sand over the past five years with the expansion of the airport serving the city of Najaf, and have excited scholars who think this may be Hira, a legendary Arab Christian center. “This is the oldest sign of Christianity in Iraq,” said al-Fatli, pointing to the ancient tablets with designs of grapes that litter the sand next to intricately carved monastery walls. The site’s discovery in 2007 and its subsequent neglect are symbolic of a Christianity that has long enriched this coun-

Benefit raises $3,500 A car, truck and bike show benefit hosted by Cruizers for Christ Car Club at Lehman Catholic High School July 21 raised more than $3,500 to be divided evenly between Carter McNabb and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation — Cincinnati Chapter. Thanks to the great weather there were 55 registered vehicles, organizers said. Trophies, donated by Helman Brothers Body Shop were awarded to the top 25 vehicles determined by participant judging as well as Carter’s Choice. The children present were also involved in voting for the Kid’s Choice whose trophy was donated anonymously. The club members’ vehicles were registered but the members did not vote. Carter’s Choice was a 1952 Chevy owned by Bill Vogt and the Kid’s Choice was a 1953 Chevy owned by Brian Reese. In addition to the vehicles, there was a cornhole tournament, silent auction, 50/50, raffle, bake sale, crafts and games for children, and food available for all. The first 50 vehicles received a goody bag and dash plates. There were 104 door prizes. Children enjoyed a visit from a Sidney fire truck and the Shelby County Drug Abuse Resistance Education vehicle. Rodney Ann as there for face painting and Really Rockin’ provided the music.

ANNA CHEERLEADER Coach Sherry Shoemaker, of Anna, coaches a practice at Anna High School Tuesday. Standing next to Shoemaker is her daughter Hannah Shoemaker, 11, of Anna, also the daughter of William Shoemaker. Parents will see an increase in student lunches for the new school year, Bixler noted. “The 2010 Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act requires the

grade. Waterman graduated from Wright State University and has held several long term substitute positions in the Anna Elementary School. • Amber Schloss, who will be the new kindergarten teacher, replacing Connie Smith, who retired at the end of the 2011-2012 school year. Schloss served last year as the elementary reading specialist. • Amber Warbington, who will serve as the elementary intervention specialist. She was previously the Anna Middle and High School intervention specialist. • Kelli Barhorst, who will be the new Anna High School varsity volleyball coach. Barhorst is an Anna High School graduate and was part of the 2006 State Championship team and a four year letter winner at Ohio State University. Bixler noted that there will be one change to the school curriculum for those in 6th, 7th and 8th grade science classes. They will be using an online textbook through Discovery Ed. Some students will notice new features in their classrooms with new SmartBoards and computers in some class-

rooms. The Anna Elementary School is getting a new roof, which is being replaced with a standingseam metal roof. TREMCO is the contractor for the roofing and Cotterman and Associates are installing the roof. The project has taken the entire summer and should be finished by the first day of school. There will also be improvements to the Anna Middle and High School heating and ventilation system with upgrades to the controls. It is an energy conservation project. It will not be finished until later in the fall. There are no changes to bus routes this year. The Anna community will be able to attend their first football game on Aug. 24 at Lehman Catholic High School. The game begins at 7:30 p.m. Bixler noted, “Starting off this school year, we have updated our mission statement. It is as follows: “Enter to Learn….the Anna Local Schools is dedicated to creating a learning environment that empowers all students to fulfill their potential by providing an appropriate and challenging education, promoting respect for self and others, developing a sense of shared responsibility, providing opportunities to develop life time learning skills….Leave to Serve.” In Bixler’s opinion, Anna Local Schools stand out. “Our school benefits from a strong, supportive community. We have caring staff, outstanding students and involved parents, which results in a successful school system.” School officials also believe the support of the Anna Local Schools levy plays a role in their success. “The community support has been essential to the success of the school.” As Anna students head back to the classroom, they will be focused on learning and succeeding and having a little fun, with the administrators, teachers and staff leading the way, along with the help of parents who, like one set of parents, told their child, they can do it if they set their mind to it.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, Aug. 10, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a poor day to make important decisions. It’s easy to deceive yourself or go with what you want to be the truth rather than what actually is. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is not an ideal day to part with your hard-earned money. If shopping, keep your receipts. Think twice before you make major expenditures. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You are in a dreamy but perhaps confused mood today. This means it’s not a good day to make promises to others or to agree to anything important. (Do yourself this favor.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t worry if you have feelings of doubt or second thoughts about yourself today. It’s just passing influence. A lot of people feel this way today, which means it’s a poor day to make important decisions. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You like to think the best of your friends. (It’s what Leos do.) Nevertheless, don’t go overboard idealizing someone today, because you could be kidding yourself. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be extra clear in all your communications with bosses, parents, teachers and authority figures. It’s very easy to have a misunderstanding or make a wrong assumption. Things might not be as they appear. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Don’t let yourself fall under the sway of someone who is coming on like a cult teacher or a really sharp salesman. It’s almost as if you want to believe someone today, isn’t it? (Be careful.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Postpone important decisions about inheritances, shared property, insurance matters and anything you own jointly with others. Things are too confusing today! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Double-check important communications with others today, because people (including you) can fall prey to wishful thinking. Make sure you know what others want before you act. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Just attend to your routine work in your job today. Don’t initiate bright, new ideas. Don’t volunteer for anything. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a wonderful, creative day for you especially if you’re involved in artistic projects simply because you easily can think outside the box. In addition, your imagination is super heightened. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Feelings of tenderness and sympathy to a family member will arise today, but do you really have all the facts? Make sure you know what is really going on. YOU BORN TODAY You’re a natural performer with a seductive voice who is fun-loving and playful. You can be a strong force in your world. You schmooze well, but you also value your solitude, especially as you get older. You always take pride in your work. A major change could take place in the year ahead, perhaps as significant as what occurred around 2003. Birthdate of: Florent Vollant, singer/songwriter; Jimmy Dean, singer; Eddie Fisher, singer.

In addition to doctors, nurses, home health aides and volunteers, services are provided by chaplains and social workers who offer essential emotional and spiritual support to dying patients and their families.

Schedule assignments for sitting with her husband, preparing meals, running errands, assisting with getting him in and out of the car on appointment days, or any tasks that need to be done. Loved ones will appreciate being asked to help in tangible ways. I urge her to take a drive or go out to lunch and leave the caretaking to a trusted friend for an hour or two. Her husband does not realize the enormous burden she carries. When she’s at her lowest, I also recommend a simple prayer asking for strength. — LOUISE IN BRADENTON, FLA.

Aug. 9, 1937 At the big SportsJamboree at men’s Wayne Lakes near Greenville, the boys from Sidney just took all the prizes in the casting events. Harold Money was first and Bob Bailey and Shanely Partington tied for second. A flip of the coin gave Bailey second and Partington third. A challenge was issued for a five boy’s team of under fifteen years to compete with the Sidney boys teams but there were no takers. ––––– Two aviators in a two seated plane, who said their homes were in Oklahoma, were compelled to make a forced landing which almost developed into a serious crash in a field on the Elmer Sheets farm a short distance south of Botkins about 12 o’clock this noon. They said that they ran out of gasoline and in landing lost control of the plane.

50 years Aug. 9, 1962 BOTKINS — More than 800 persons jammed Immaculate Conception Church grounds Sunday morning to follow the procession that included Archbishop Karl J. Alter into the nave for the dedication of the new church. It was Aug. 23, 1960 that the contracts were signed and volunteer members began dismantling the old church to make way for the new. Since that time church services have been held

in the school to the south. ––––– A new scientific development in care of fabrics is being announced by Sam Shuchat of Neat Cleaners here. Known as “miracle finish,” this process has been made available to certain professional dry cleaners throughout the United States and Canada, including Neat Cleaners in Sidney as the exclusive user.

25 years Aug. 9, 1987 NEW KNOXVILLE — More than five acres of big-top style tents were erected this week outside of New Knoxville on the grounds of The Way International in anticipation of The Way’s 17th annual Rock of Ages Festival, Aug. 9-14. To accommodate the more than 13,000 people expected, more than 100 different types of tents have been put up for the week-long event. ––––– There’s several different ways of looking at little Adam Van Treese’s age, which is right at 15 months. You could say he’s less than four years away from starting school, or just 15 years away from asking dad for the keys to the car. You could also say he’s only nine months away from trying his hand at water skiing. His father is Dr. Jeffrey Van Treese, who recently joined the dental offices of Drs. David Fields and Richard Corthell. Van Treese is an accomplished water skier, competing in the men’s 2-trick division and typically skiing four or five days per week. But this isn’t just a hobby for the men in the family. Far from it, actually, for it was Adam’s mother Libby who set the pace, starting at a very tender age and working her way up to world-class, as evidenced by her firstplace finish in the National Water Skiing Championships in Illinois in 1979. ––––– These news items from past issues of the Sidney Daily News are compiled by the Shelby County Historical Society (498-1653) as a public service to the community.

Reds reeling, lose again Latos pitches well, but Brewers rally for 3-2 win and sweep MILWAUKEE (AP) — Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker decided to pitch to Ryan Braun and it cost the Reds the game. Braun snapped a 0-for-18 slump with an RBI double in the eighth inning, lifting the Brewers to a three-game sweep of Cincinnati with a 3-2 win Wednesday. “You’re in a situation where you’ve got to face Braun or Aramis Ramirez,” Baker said. “Aramis is one of the hottest hitters in baseball right now. So we chose to pitch to Braun and he blooped it in front of (Chris) Heisey out there.” Jonathan Broxton (1-1) started the eighth with the Reds leading 2-1. He retired the first two batters before an infield single by Norichka Aoki. With Carlos Gomez up to bat, Aoki stole second and took third on catcher Dioner Navarro’s throwing error. Gomez hit a soft liner over the outstretched glove of shortstop Wilson Valdez and Aoki scored to tie the game. Gomez stole second and Braun followed with a hit that fell in front of the Reds’ center fielder. “There aren’t too many better ways than to help your team win a game,” Braun said. “Certainly not the first time I’ve struggled; it won’t be the last. But it’s never enjoyable when you go through something like that. It’s always nice to get a hit. It’s that much more enjoyable when it happens in a victory and a big situation.” Braun came in batting .304

CINCINNATI REDS' Brandon Phillips reacts after striking out against the Milwaukee Brewers in the first inning of a baseball game Wednesday in Milwaukee. but had struggled at the plate in the three-game series against St. Louis and was hitless against Cincinnati. Ramirez has seen his batting average climb to .295 and leads the NL in extra base hits (54) and doubles (37). Broxton had given up only three hits and no earned runs in his last four outings. “Hey, we finally got some breaks,” Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. “Nori’s little dribbler, Gomey’s bloop over short, Braunie’s bloop be-

fore (Heisey). We got some breaks today.” John Axford (4-6) pitched the eighth for the win and Jim Henderson got his second career save in as many days. The Reds’ fourth straight loss matched their seasonworst set June 18-22. The NL Central leaders remained three games ahead of Pittsburgh, which plays Wednesday night. The Brewers’ rally cost Mat Latos a chance at his fourth consecutive victory.

“Latos threw a great ball game,” Baker said. “He had had enough. He was spent at that time.” Latos retired 16 of the first 19 batters he faced before surrendering Gomez’s solo shot in the sixth. He regrouped and retired the next five. Latos allowed three hits, one walk and had eight strikeouts over seven innings. He’s now allowed one earned run and seven hits in his last two starts, a span of 14 1-3 innings. Latos knew that the team has a great bullpen, but finishing the game was a thought, too. “I felt all right, but I figured we had a good bullpen,” Latos said after throwing 97 pitches, 67 for strikes. “We have fresh arms in the bullpen. They’d come in and get the job done.” Navarro hit a two-run homer in the third off Milwaukee starter Randy Wolf. Miguel Cairo led off with a walk before Navarro collected his first hit in six at-bats since being promoted from Triple-A Louisville on Aug. 1. He replaced fellow catcher Devin Mesoraco, who went on the seven-day concussion disabled list. Wolf came in 11-4 against the Reds, his second-most career wins against any opponent, but his mistake to Navarro cost him. The lefthander, who has only one win in his last eight decisions, lost his third consecutive start. He went six innings, allowing six hits with two walks and seven strikeouts.

Race Rundown

Tracks on Tap

It’s often said in racing that if one puts themselves in position enough times to win, the wins will eventually come. Not that Jeff Gordon has struggled for wins throughout his illustrious 20-year NASCAR career, but by simply being in position to win on Sunday, he earned an unlikely victory at Pocono Raceway in the Pennsylvania 500. As rain approached the 2.5-mile racetrack, Jimmie Johnson brought the field to green for what proved to be the race’s final restart. Unbeknownst to him, a right rear tire had gone flat under caution, and when he sailed his No. 48 Chevy into Turn 1, it washed up the track, colliding with the Ford of Matt Kenseth. Brad Keselowski and Greg Biffle, running second and third, checked up, allowing Gordon to smoothly dip to the inside and grab the lead — his first lap of the day on point. “It’s nice to know that things can still go our way,” Gordon said. “I hate it for the 48 (Johnson), those guys, what happened. But we haven’t had a whole lot go our way this year. To have the first four cars in front of you all slide up the racetrack, you go by and win the race with the rain — it’s nice to know that at least things can still go our way. “So this is a big boost for us as a team. I think more importantly than that, we drove from 27th up into the top 5 or 6. That’s no easy task here at Pocono.” The race was called for rain after 98 of 160 laps. Johnson led for 44 laps, while teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. led 17 circuits. Earnhardt finished 32nd due to transmission issues on his No. 88 Chevy. Gordon — once dismissed as a Chase hopeful — now sits second in the wild card standings with one victory and a tiebreaker over Ryan Newman. The fourth Hendrick team of Kasey Kahne (two wins) is first in the wild card race.

SPRINT CUP SERIES Track: Watkins Glen International Location: Watkins Glen, N.Y. When: Sunday, Aug. 12 TV: ESPN (12:00 p.m. EST) Layout: 11-turn, 2.45-mile road course 2011 Winner: Marcos Ambrose Crew Chief’s Take: “The Glen is a highspeed course that is well-suited for stock cars. There is actually some banking in some of the corners, and you don’t have to be as technical as you do at Sonoma. You really have to pay attention to forward drive throughout the race at the Glen. The goal is to find a balance that will allow you to pit early and also race hard at the end. The Glen demands braking, balance and control. Sonoma is a finesse track, but a driver has to ‘attack’ the Glen. High-end horsepower is much more important at the Glen because the driver is ‘in the gas’ a lot more than Sonoma.”

Gordon breaks winless skid; lightning strike mars events at Pocono

Jeff Gordon’s race-winning car is pushed to Victory Lane at Pocono Raceway after thuderstorms ended the event prematurely. By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor

The Pennsylvania 400 at Pocono Raceway was dominated, once again, by Jimmie Johnson. Yet the conclusion of the race hatched more storylines than one could count: “Johnson blows lead, hands win to Jeff Gordon.” “Gordon breaks 31-race winless skid in unlikely fashion.” “Gordon, Gustafson celebrate wins and birthdays at Pocono.” “Gordon in Chase wild card contention once again.” “Earnhardt drops transmission, retains points lead.” Yet, moments after the event ended on lap 98 of the scheduled 160-lap distance due to an intense thunderstorm that blanketed the area, one storyline put all others into perspective. Brian F. Zimmerman, 41, of Moosic, Penn., a father of two, was killed when he was struck by lightning in the facility’s parking lot. The fatality was reported by Pocono track president Brandon Igdalsky on Sunday, nearly three hours after the race. Nine others were also injured in the strike. Four victims were taken to Lehigh Valley Health Network. As of Monday morning, one has been discharged and three remain in stable condition. The other five were

treated and released at various hospitals in the area on Sunday. According to The Times Leader in Wilkes-Barre, Penn., Zimmerman’s vehicle was struck while he was standing next to the open back hatch. Paramedics were unable to revive him, and he was pronounced dead on arrival at Pocono Medical Center in East Stroudsburg, Penn. Brian Neudorff, a certified broadcast meteorologist with KMVT-TV in Twin Falls, Idaho, and popular NASCAR Twitter contributor who updates fans of raceday weather conditions, constructed a rough timeline of the severe weather event. According to Neurdorff, the National Weather Service issued a warning for the track at 4:12 p.m. EST. Despite lightning in the area, NASCAR did not red flag the race — halting all on-track action — until 4:43 pm. EST when rain began to fall. The severe threat was relayed to fans at the track via public address system when the race was red flagged — warning them to take shelter and evacuate the grandstands — although many with radio, scanner and/or social media access were made aware of the potential for dangerous conditions well before then. As race controller, it is NASCAR’s call to stop an event for any reason. It is the track’s respon-

I In interviews conducted early this week, AJ Allmendinger disclosed that the substance he tested positive for in a drug test in early July was Adderall, a drug prescribed for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. “I got to Kentucky early for a few sponsor commitments and went to hang out with a buddy for a couple of days before we got going,” Allmendinger told FOXSports.com. “We were out, he had a couple of his friends with him and I was struggling to even stay awake. One of his friends said, ‘Oh, I have an energy pill that I take for working out.’ I didn’t think any-

sibility to warn fans and coordinate evacuation efforts if inclement weather is threatening. “We are deeply saddened that a fan has died and others were injured by lightning strikes following today’s race at Pocono,” NASCAR spokesman David Higdon said. “Our thoughts are with them as well as those affected by this unfortunate accident.” Pocono Raceway released a statement on Monday, stating, in part that, “We work in conjunction with NASCAR regarding safety of fans, teams and other attendees throughout the course of our race weekends. Additionally, we are in constant communication with local and national agencies regarding weather conditions and emergency services. “At approximately 5:01 p.m. EST, the first lightning strike occurred on property inside our Grandstand Parking area, located near Gate 5A. A Pocono Raceway Grandstand Fire unit was stationed in the vicinity and witnessed the actual strike. The response was immediate as the unit reported the incident to our control tower and advised spectators were injured. CPR was started immediately to Mr. Zimmerman by a friend on the scene. “We are in the process of establishing a Memorial Fund is for victims of this incident.”

thing of it because I’ve taken energy supplements for working out, that my trainer gives me. So I didn’t even think about it. That was my big mistake.” Allmendinger tested positive for amphetamine, which is an ingredient in Adderall. I Dodge announced on Tuesday that it will not return to NASCAR in 2013. Having lost its sole team in Penske Racing to Ford, the manufacturer — owned by Italian-based Fiat — made the decision to end its involvement with the sport when no other suitable teams could be found to fill the void.

Classic Moments Watkins Glen International Watkins Glen’s “inner loop” was utilized for the first time in a Winston Cup race when the circuit visited upstate New York on Aug. 9, 1992, for the Budweiser at the Glen. Kyle Petty and Ernie Irvan each led 19 laps before the event was red-flagged for rain 39 laps shy of the finish. With Petty posted as the race leader — and during an interview with ESPN — the race was called, although Petty did not believe it when told by ESPN’s John Kernan, until receiving official word from NASCAR. The win moved Petty into 10th place in the point standings, 340 points behind Bill Elliott. But a furious run over the ensuing 10 races found him only 98 points back in fifth as the circuit headed to Atlanta for one the greatest races in NASCAR’s Modern Era: the Hooters 500 season finale.

Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: With an average finish of 2.2 at the Glen, Marcos Ambrose is a no-brainer. Pretty Solid Pick: Tony Stewart leads all drivers with five wins in Watkins Glen. Good Sleeper Pick: Might this be Carl Edwards’ chance to sneak in a win? Runs on Seven Cylinders: Greg Biffle, with an average finsih of 25.8 here in nine Cup starts. Insider Tip: Jeff Gordon (four Glen wins) needs one more victory to bolster his Chase hopes. It could happen here.

Although a flat tire foiled Johnson’s hopes for a second straight victory, it’s pretty obvious who the best team on the circuit is these days. See: Johnson, Jimmie, then substitute “second best” for “best” and “transmission” for “flat tire.” The Pocono troubles won’t derail this bunch much, if at all. Said Kenseth of the final, fateful restart: “He (Johnson) just drove in incredibly far and spun out. Maybe he had a flat, but I am not so sure about that.” Not a happy camper. Played the off-cync pit strategy game for a second straight week. And for a second straight, came up short. But hey, when you have three wins, you’re free to give it a go. Was on his way to a third consecutive top-10 finish until Kenseth took a hard left directly in front of him. Was later released from the infield car center on Sunday after experiencing abdominal pain. Drove from 28th to fifth at Pocono, which is no easy feat. Has advanced to sixth in the standings on the strength of four consecutive top 12s. When the circuit last visited Pocono in June, Gordon sat 22nd in points with zero wins and three top 10s. After its return trip, he sits 13th in points with a win and nine top 10s. Lined up fourth for the final restart at Pocono which, in hindsight, wasn’t a good place to be. Although he was shuffled back to 15th, he now finds himself only six points out of the championship lead. Things are tight in this area of the rankings, where Biffle, Kahne, Martin Truex Jr. and Clint Bowyer have jockeyed back and forth. Kahne’s runner-up at Pocono was fortuitous, but he’ll take it. Truex’s third at Pocono was his best finish since a runner-up at Kansas in April. Using consistency over flash, he’s remained in the top 10, currently slotting in safely at fifth. Like Truex, Bowyer has held fast to his top-10 spot. Unlike Truex, he actually has a win (Sonoma). Riding a streak that includes consecutive showings of fifth, 10th, seventh and sixth. Harvick better hope he has a Stewart-esque Chase run in him, cause it ain’t pretty right now. The ability is there — as the Indy runner-up proved — but mechanical issues are killing this bunch. Squeaks back into the top 15 after a decent seventh at Pocono. Now needs two wins in five races. Marcos Ambrose, Joey Logano, Mark Martin, Paul Menard, Regan Smith

CINCINNATI (AP) — Armon Binns didn’t have to learn the Bengals’ system all by himself. He had a companion in the same situation. Like Binns, receiver Brandon Tate was learning things on the fly last season. Neither caught a pass in a game. Both spent a lot of time in practice on the scout team, imitating the opponents’ receivers to help the defense. They had so much in common that they became close. “We were with each other with the ‘look’ team against the defense, so we were always hyping each other up, trying to make plays,” Binns said on Wednesday. “It was kind of the same deal. But this time, it’s for real.” This time, they’re competing for the same job. Tate is listed first on the depth chart when the Bengals (No. 14 in the AP Pro32) open their preseason on Friday night against the New York Jets at Paul Brown Stadium. It’s the first chance for the Bengals’ inexperienced group of receivers to start sorting itself out. Finding a complement to receiver A.J. Green is one of Cincinnati’s priorities in the preseason. The Bengals have little experience at receiver with Jerome Simpson and Andre Caldwell gone from last year. Andrew Hawkins led the group of backup receivers last season with 23 catches in 13 games. The 5-foot-7 receiver is

He was added to the roster for a first-round playoff loss at Houston but didn’t catch a pass. By the time training camp opened, his college city felt a lot like home again. “I’m real comfortable,” Binns said. “I know a lot of guys around here. I’m not the quiet kid that nobody knows just sitting around here. I’m real comfortable with the system, the quarterbacks. I’m on the same page with them.

Kirkpatrick hurt his left knee before the start of camp and hasn’t been cleared for practice. He’s working out on the side of the field. “Dre Kirkpatrick is doing very, very well,” Lewis said. ... Tate is listed as the top punt and kickoff returner again, with Hawkins as the backup at both. Hawkins has never returned punts. “Repetition gets you more comfortable, so we’re going into the first preseason game and I’ll get an opportunity to work on the punt return game,” Hawkins said.

Eaton leads decathlon LONDON (AP) — After Ashton Eaton's big first day in the Olympic decathlon, he was far more interested in sleep. And with good reason. His day began Wednesday by breaking Bill Toomey's 44-year-old Olympic record in the decathlon 100-meter dash, finishing in 10.35 seconds. He ended it with a solid performance in the 400, bursting across the line in 46.90. In between, Eaton was first in the long jump, 11th in the shot put and second in the high jump. The American put himself in position not only to break the Olympic record, but to give himself an outside chance at topping his own world mark.

US overwhelms Australia 119-86 LONDON (AP) — Kobe Bryant felt the game getting close, then put it away from long range. Bryant made six straight 3-pointers in the second half, LeBron James finished with a triple-double, and the U.S. men’s Olympic basketball team advanced to the semifinals with a 119-86 victory over Australia on Wednesday night. Bryant scored 20 points, flashing three fingers in the air after his third consecutive 3pointer in the fourth quarter had pushed the game well out of reach and proved that yes, he would deliver the kind of game that’s expected of him in London. James finished with 11 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists for the Americans, who advanced to their third straight Olympic semifinal meeting with Argentina, which beat Brazil earlier Wednesday. Carmelo Anthony added 17 points and Kevin Durant had 14. The Americans beat the Argentines 126-97 on Monday in the final game of pool play, yet another night they didn’t need much from Bryant, who came in averaging just 9.4 points as both he and his teammates kept assuring people there was nothing wrong with the five-time NBA champion. This time was different, and he delivered. Australia scored the first 11 points of the second half, cutting the Americans’ lead to three after back-to-back 3pointers by Joe Ingles.

nals basketball game at the 2012 Summer Olympics Wednesday in London.

The U.S. lead was only six before Bryant, who has never gotten in an offensive rhythm in London and just minutes earlier had committed another puzzling offensive foul, finally broke out. He made a 3-pointer, then batted away a pass, chased it down along the left sideline, and pulled up for another 3-pointer that made it 70-58. James followed with a basket that pushed it to 14, and the Americans never let the Australians get much closer. Not the way Bryant shot, anyway. He was 0 for 3 in the first half, then made six in a row. He hit three straight in the fourth quarter to blow it open,

men’s basketball tournament on Wednesday, pushing them into the semfinals for a rematch with the United States. Argentina lost to the Americans by 29 in the preliminary round finale. For Scola, one of five leftovers from the beloved '04 team — known fondly as "The Golden Generation" back home — this is one last run at Olympic glory. "We are getting older," said Scola, 32. "We know we don't have two more Olympics. We may not have one more. This is a special chance for us. Ginobili, Andres Nocioni and Pablo Prigioni also are in their 30s, and Delfino will turn 30 later this month.
