TROY — At Monday’s Troy Board of Education meeting, Troy City Schools Superintendent Eric Herman presented the board of education an update of the use of the school grounds for Labor Day weekend’s “Gentlemen of the Road” music festival, featuring Grammy-winning artists Mumford and Sons.

Herman said The Mercer Group will also treat the field before the matting is used and plywood would cover the track for the concert.

“Our stadium is the main concert venue,” Herman said.

“There will be no campers on school property until school is out on Thursday.”

The main stage has been set for the pole vault area, Herman said.

TROY — City council members heard from the leader of the group responsible for the sidewalk chalkings at Monday’s council meeting.

Stand True President Bryan Kemper spoke at the end of the meeting, thanking city council and the city’s law director for upholding the group’s First Amendment right to free speech.

Kemper claimed responsibility for his missionary group for the pro-life messages on the sidewalks downtown Troy in midJune.

Kemper said the messages were not permanent, not written on city property, walls or sculptures and only on public sidewalks.

Senate steps back from brink WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate stepped away from the brink of a meltdown on Tuesday, confirming one of President Barack Obama’s long-stalled nominees, agreeing to quick action on others and finessing a Democratic threat to overturn historic rules that protect minority-party rights.

“Nobody wants to come to Armageddon here,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer, the New York Democrat whose talks with Arizona Republican John McCain were critical in avoiding a collision that had threatened to plunge the

Senate even deeper into partisan gridlock.

McCain, a veteran of uncounted legislative struggles, told reporters that forging the deal was “probably the hardest thing I’ve been involved in.”

The White House reaped the first fruits of the deal within hours, when Richard Cordray’s nomination to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was approved 66-34. He was first nominated in July 2011 and has been in office by virtue of a recess appointment that bypassed the Senate.

In a written statement, Obama said he was pleased by the developments and that he hoped Congress would “build on this spirit of cooperation” to pass immigration legislation and rein in interest rates on student loans, among other measures.

As part of the Tuesday’s agreement, both parties preserved their rights to resume combat over nominations in the future, Republicans by delaying votes and Democrats by threatening once again to change the rules governing such delays.

By CECILIA FOX For Civitas Media tdneditorial@civitasmedia.com TIPP CITY — Tipp City City Council voted Monday night to increase members’ annual salary by $4,000 and eliminate council health insurance.

The issue has come up many times in recent years, but council never had enough votes in the past to eliminate healthcare. This time, however, they voted unanimously to end council health and dental insurance.

Another ordinance raising council’s annual salary from $1,000 to $5,000 passed 5-2.

Councilman Joe Gibson and Councilwoman Katelyn Berbach voted against raising council’s

Herman said a security official will be at the junior high school’s gym for just the production company’s use of its facilities and showers during the musical festival.

“They are not going to be running around our buildings at all,” Herman said. “There will be a security person on site.”

Herman said JAM Production has contracted with Piqua Crane to remove the football field goal posts and replace them after the concert. Also, contact has been made with Mercer Group to prep the football field before the tarp is laid.

“The scoreboard will not be taken down,” Herman said. “It was never in the plans to take it down.”

Herman also stressed that no

alcohol would be sold in the camping areas.

Herman said a fence system would be installed to enclose the areas near the practice fields to Ferguson Field and near the high school to contain the camping area.

“The details are still coming,” Herman said.

The Troy City School board approved for its buses and drivers to supply shuttle service for the festival and will be reimbursed for these expenses. The primary shuttle route will run from WACO Airfield to Van Cleve School, using Dye Mill Road.

“They are very, very busy,” Herman said about the JAM Production company and its communications with the school

officials and city officials. “But they are very, very knowledgeable.”

Herman said the production company has answered every email and phone call he has made over the weeks.

“We haven’t ironed out all the details yet,” Herman said of the amount of money expected to benefit the school district for the use of its facilities. Herman did not give an estimate, but said “it’s not going to be a windfall or anything.”

“We are doing this for the community,” Herman said. “We owe it back to them for the support they give us all year round. Our small businesses are expected to benefit and they are the ones that help us all the time.”

Council

n Continued from page 1 “We would never deface city property,” Kemper said. Kemper said if a pro-choice group were ever to write messages on the sidewalk of his missionary office on Cherry Street, he said, “They have every right to do that and I’d defend their right to do that.”

The group has its missionary office on Cherry Street. Kemper said he appreciated the swift attention by Troy Law Director Jim Livingston.

Livingston’s letter was published in the July 4 edition of the Troy Daily News and echoed his comments at the July 1 council meeting, in which he said the city could not exercise any prior restraint on the content of the messages.

Livingston added that the city cannot single out a particular group based on the message’s content, in the same manner that the city’s enforcement of the sign code cannot be contingent on the sign’s content.

Prohibiting chalking or requiring a permit poses problems as well, he wrote.

“If council went the prohibition route, the prohibition would include the chalking that the city has been allowing and if it went the permit route, than anyone who applied and paid the permit fee would be issued one because the city could not deny the permit because of the message the applicant proposed to chalk onto the sidewalk,” the letter stated. “The city could certainly ban all chalk writings; however the city must be prepared to enforce this ban on all chalk writings, not just on messages that some deem offensive.”’

Any merchant is permitted to wash the chalking off the public right-of-way as well, Livingston said.

Kemper said he did not appreciated one store owner’s threat of physical violence as his group wrote messages last month.

“We need to make sure here in Troy we all try to get along and protect our first amendment rights,” Kemper said.”I don’t think there’s any reason to threaten physical violence.”

City council member Bobby Phillips thanked Kemper for his attendance and then asked why Kemper felt the pro-life messages were needed in the city of Troy.

“Why would you do that here?” Phillips asked.

Kemper said the closest abortion clinic is in Kettering and Stand True holds candle light vigil and prayer circles regularly.

“We’ve seen three women change their minds this summer,” Kemper said. “A lot of women from Troy go to Kettering to have abortions.”

Kemper said if one woman saw the message as she walked down the street, then his group’s mission has been full filled.

Kemper said just because Troy has been deemed a conservative area, it won’t deter his group from continuing to distribute its message and toll-free number.

“It’s important to do it locally,” Kemper said, noting he travels all over the country and will leave soon to go to World Peace Day in Brazil.

In other news: The city council approved a resolution to move into a project agreement with Ohio Public Works Commission for the N. Market/ Piqua-Troy Rd. and Troy-Urbana Rd. intersection. The OPWC grant will not exceed $350,000, which is 60 percent of the current project estimate.

The project will move the intersection north to make it closer to a 90 degree angle to align with the entrance to the Staunton Grange. A traffic signal is not part of this

project and the city will be acquiring some right-of-way for the project and no cost is anticipated for the right-of-way.

Titterington also updated the North Market Street project. The base asphalt is in place on the north portion of the project.

Sidewalks continue to be put in place on that segment. State Route 55 at Dorset/Archer as well as State Route 41’s traffic signal interconnect is still waiting for equipment delivery.

Timothy Cox began the MIS technician began on June 3. Duane Puckett resigned his position of parking control officer to accept the position of zoning inspector on June 15.

Jillian Rhoades, assistant city engineer will begin on July 23 and fiscal officer Catherine Armocida will retire July 26.

Nicole Hanes, executive director of the Troy Rec, gave a presentation about the 72 year old program. Hanes said the program has been housed in the building for all 72 years.

Hanes said she partnered with the Ohio State University extension office to formulate a plan and focus groups to find the needs of the community.

Hanes said the main complaint about the Troy Rec was the physical condition of the building. Hanes said the building has had a few exterior issues addressed such as new canopy and masonry repairs. Hanes said there are three phases to address the buildings’ needs, including a possible campaign to raise funds to possibly begin in 2014.

City councilman Al Clark said the work at the Troy Rec has been “a long time coming.”

Clark thanked Hanes for her presentation and invited any interested citizen to visit the facility in the future.

Pay n Continued from page 1 salary, both saying that the privilege of serving the community is compensation enough.

Councilman Pate Hale called the passage of both ordinances a “good and fair solution.”

In addition to $1,000 annually, current council compensation includes the option to participate in the city’s employee health insurance plan. Those who opt out are entitled to $150 monthly reimbursement.

These ordinances will limit council’s total compensation to $35,000 a year instead of $105,000.

Gibson argued that voting against the salary increase and voting to terminate health insurance would be the most cost effective option. The ordinances were introduced earlier this month after an initiative petition calling for a vote by residents on health insurance for city council members was filed with the county Miami County Board of Elections by resident Steve Huffman.

Gibson questioned council’s ability to act on these ordinances now that an initiative petition has been filed. He sug-

gested that council table the ordinances until the petition is withdrawn or goes before the voters.

“I can’t fathom why the city, being a charter city, could not still continue to legislate as it has regardless of the initiative petition,” law director David Caldwell said.

At this point the petition has only been submitted to the Board of Election for consideration. City manager Jon Crusey pointed out that, until the initiative petition has enough signatures, it is only a piece of paper.

Since efforts to eliminate council health insurance have failed several times in the past, Gibson also questioned the timing these ordinances.

At the July 1 meeting, he expressed concerns that the ordinances were a result of one person, Huffman, having a problem with some of council’s recent decisions and filing a petition to end council’s healthcare.

“A number of council members on many occasions have asked citizens to come out and express their feelings on matters before council. I do and I

get chastised by a member of council for speaking my opinion,” Huffman said. “I brought this petition because it was the right thing to do.”

McDermott said he doesn’t feel that timing is an issue in this case and that council healthcare has become an issue that is brought up at every election before being “kicked down the road.”

In other business, council approved a resolution authorizing the city to begin the nuisance abatement process on a W. Plum Street property.

The owner of the property is infirmed and unable to clean up the nuisance violations, which include litter, broken furniture, and even half of a car.

The owner has requested that the city move forward with the clean-up and assess the fees on their property taxes.

Council voted in favor of another resolution authorizing a lump sum merit payment to the city manager of two percent of his current annual rate. This is based on his performance review. There were no other changes made to the terms of his employment contract.

Council also heard an update on the aquatic center.

As of June 30, revenue is down $23,773 compared to the same time last year. Revenue for 2013 is $57,122 below 2012’s revenue, not including a $25,000 transfer from the general fund. Mostly due to recent cool and rainy weather, attendance so far this year is just 50 percent of 2012 levels and 50 percent of the facility’s eight year average. Of the 28 days it was open through June 30, the facility has been completely close five days and opened late or closed early on three days.

The city has received 25 resumes for the chief of police position, which are currently being reviewed. The top applicants will be brought in for initial interviews at the end of the month. The former chief of police Thomas Davidson passed away April 23. Sgt. Eric Burris is the current acting chief.

Board discusses continued work on new school building Superintendent reports loss in cafeteria

By Ashley Moor

For Civitas Media tdneditorial@civitasmedia.com

WEST MILTON — The plans for the last few months of work and construction on the new school building were layed out at the MiltonUnion Board of Education meeting on Monday.

The final meeting with the contractors will be held on July 29 to discuss the concerns that still need to be addressed by the board members.

“There are still areas that need to be reseeded by the locker rooms,” said president Larry Dehus.

Other areas of concern for the board members are the placing of the snowguards and completing of the stonework on the entrances. All of these

projects are expected to be completed by the start of the new school year.

There are several personnel changes taking place this upcoming school year. Khandiss Lippi will be added on as the new high school Spanish teacher, made effective Aug. 19. Also, Michael Crenshaw will be replacing Heather Wheatley as the school psychologist, made effective July 15.

Finally, Jessica Wenig will be the new assistant principal for the middle school and high school, and Ashley Vincent, a teacher at the high school, will be resigning effective Aug. 16. No replacement has been named for Vincent.

The board authorized

the Southwestern Ohio Educational Purchasing Council to solicit bids for two school buses. This will be made to replace two other buses that are out of service.

School administration pointed out that the school cafeteria has been a source of lost revenue for the school district due to the new nutrition guidelines that were put in place this past school year. Overall, the school lost $46,341.09 for the 2012-2013 school year.

“It just costs more to feed the students,” Rammel said.

The next regular Milton-Union Board of Education meeting is 6:30 p.m. Aug. 19 at the board conference room at the school.

Hovercrafts to descend on city this weekend Event to include activities for all ages, tastes

By Bethany J. Royer Civitas Media broyer@civitasmedia.com

PIQUA — Several events set for this weekend, Friday-Sunday, may be of interest to families — with everything from the Piqua Park and Recreation’s Seventh annual car show starting at 7 p.m. Saturday at Fountain Park and Hance Pavilion with the Van-Dells making a special concert appearance — to the second annual Activity Day for children preschool to sixth grade from 10 a.m. until 1:30 p.m., at the south end of the park.

Another big event for the weekend — for those unfamiliar take a page from the pod racers in the first Star Wars movie — as the Hoverclub of America will descend upon the Great Miami River beginning Friday, July 19.

(See full schedule at the end) “The Great Miami River is always a great place to ride,” says Dan Heidel, public relations coordinator for the club, who will be visiting Piqua for the first time with their Hovercrafts as the group formerly held races and cruises in Troy during the 1990s.

Floating on air, a mere 10 inches above either water or land, the hovercrafts to descend upon Piqua next weekend will consist of everything from short and small, commercial to homemade, as Heidel explained how the area around the bridge and the

“bowl” of the water allows for a perfect setup. Not only for those participating in the race but the eager-viewing crowds.

Club members traversed the river in early June, scouting the water between Piqua and Sidney and back, determining points of interest, take out points, low head dams, and stopping locations for cruises, according to both Heidel and the group’s website. As a cruise for hovercraft participants will take place on Friday, moving up the river and back, with a bag lunch provided.

Every year the club has a cruise and race in different states, so what brought the group back to the Miami River after more than a decade? According to Heidel a lot of their members are from the area, having brought the crafts to Troy in the past.

“Biggest thing people knew the area, knew the river, that was the biggest draw right on,” said Heidel while the City of Piqua has shown her best side as fliers were delivered to friendly reception and excitement by area stores and businesses.

Heidel believes that with the river being high due to recent rains will give the race and cruise a definite appeal, and hopes that time and space will allow for demonstrations for the public on how hovercrafts work, given the misconception they float on water as opposed to a cushion of air beneath the skirt of the craft.

When I retired, my health insurance was supposed to continue, but when my wife had two years of dialysis at $13,000 a month, neither the health insurance nor Medicare paid anything.

In addition, she broke her hip and had time in rehab at $7,000 a month; nothing was paid on that.

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Korea Herald, Seoul, South Korea, on aviation safety: The crash of Asiana Airlines’ Boeing 777 jet at San Francisco International Airport is a wake-up call for the Korean aviation industry, which enjoys a good global reputation for safety.

In the mid-1990s, Korea’s two flag carriers — Asiana and its bigger rival Korean Air — suffered a string of fatal incidents, which led to a downgrading of the nation’s aviation safety rating in 1999.

The humiliation prompted the Seoul government to undertake a comprehensive reform of its aviation regulatory system. It revised aviation laws, increased the number of government inspectors and enlisted the assistance of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration to meet international safety standards.

The two airlines also made painstaking efforts to upgrade their safety culture. For instance, Korean Air invited two U.S. experts to help improve its safety standards.

Thanks to these efforts, Korea had no fatal air crashes for 12 years between 1999 and 2011. The long streak was broken when an Asiana freighter crashed in waters off the coast of Jejudo Island two years ago.

In 2008, the International Civil Aviation Organization ranked Korea’s aviation safety standards, including its pilot training and maintenance, as the highest among its 191 member countries.

This outstanding track record might have fostered a dangerous sense of complacency among airline companies and regulators. …

For flights to dangerous airports, they need to arrange preflight sessions for the flight and cabin crew to alert them to the obstacles and ensure that they follow safe landing and takeoff procedures.

Carriers should take it to heart that safety comes before anything else. It only takes one accident to wipe out years of hard effort to establish a reputation as a safe carrier.

Online: http://www.koreaherald.com/ July 4 The Jerusalem Post on the Egyptian military’s overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi: The speed of Mohammed Morsi’s fall, just a year after his dramatic rise to power, underlines the unpredictability of Egyptian politics. For Israel there are both dangers and opportunities in the wake of Morsi’s ouster.

The renewed dominance of the military could be a positive development for Israel. It is, after all, the military that monopolizes force and is a stabilizing factor.

It was the Egyptian military, for instance, that was instrumental in bringing about the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas last November. It is the military that seems most likely to protect the Camp David peace agreement between Israel and Egypt. And it is the military that has a vested interest and the capabilities to maintain control in the near lawless Sinai Peninsula.

The humbling of the Muslim Brotherhood’s seemingly inexorable expansion not just in Egypt but also in Tunisia and potentially in Syria and perhaps even in Jordan is another positive development, at least in the short term. …

The U.S. could make its continued economic support conditional upon concrete headway toward building a more democratic, pluralistic government that does more to defend embattled minorities such as the Coptic Christian community and the smaller Baha’i and Shi’ite populations. More thought should be given to saving Egypt’s catatonic economy. And aid in the form of both funding and political know-how should be provided to help harness the energies expended on the streets of Cairo and channel them into political parties and institutions.

Unrest in Egypt has generated much unpredictability and the potential for instability and even disaster.

Morsi’s fall, however, also presents new opportunities and can lead to positive developments in the Middle East’s most populous country, and in the region in general.

The outcome depends, at least in part, on the U.S.’s response.

As for predictions, I’m sure that if Troy survives another 50 years any predictions we might make about what’s coming down the road will be as far off as the ones made 50 years ago. It’s not always easy sorting out the past, but it’s much tougher to figure out the future.

Ohio Turnpike tolls to rise annually over 10 years BEREA (AP) — Ohio Turnpike commissioners voted Monday to raise tolls 2.7 percent annually for the next 10 years to pay for highway projects across the northern part of the state.

For motorists using E-ZPass payment devices, cross-state tolls approved by the newly renamed Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission would rise 25 cents to $11.50. After 10 years, it would be $14.75.

The 241-mile cross-state toll for truckers using E-ZPass would rise $1 to $36 next year. After a decade, the toll would be $45.75.

According to Cleveland’s The Plain Dealer newspaper (bit. ly/13KUPZY), motorists and truckers using cash or credit cards would pay more. Cross-state tolls for cars would increase 50 cents to $17 on Jan. 1, and after 10 years, it would be $21.50.

For truckers not using E-ZPass, tolls would rise $1.25 to $45.25 next

year. A decade later, truckers would pay $57.50.

The commission also authorized $1 billion in bonds that the higher tolls will help finance. The new debt would be issued by the end of July.

Republican Gov. John Kasich pushed for the toll-hike plan to move along big projects that have been delayed for years. The investment in infrastructure is expected to generate tens of thousands of jobs.

About $70 million of the money will jump-start a plan to replace the original base of the toll road that cuts across northern Ohio and is a key Midwest interstate highway.

The rest will go to road and bridge projects.

The turnpike commission will decide which projects to fund after getting recommendations from the state Department of Transportation.

The turnpike has about $560 million in debt, held in bonds that are among the highest rated for tolling agencies in the country.

Ohio Lottery records record profits again state — in Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus and Cincinnati — over the last year, according to The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer, which reported the numbers Tuesday.

On Martin case, Obama shifts from passion to calm WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Barack Obama first addressed the death of Trayvon Martin last year, he did so passionately, declaring that if he had a son, he would look like the slain 17-year-old. His powerful and personal commentary marked a rare public reflection on race from the nation’s first black president.

But now, with the man who fatally shot Martin acquitted and the burden of any future charges squarely on his own administration, Obama is seeking to inject calm into a case that has inflamed passions, including his own. In a brief statement, the president called Martin’s killing a “tragedy” but implored the public to respect a Florida jury’s decision to clear George Zimmerman, the man charged in the teen’s death.

“I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher,” Obama said Sunday. “But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken.”

The president’s restrained response underscores the complicated calculus for the White House as it grapples with the fallout from the racially charged case. Obama faces inevitable questions about the verdict, given his previous statements on the matter and his own race. But as the head of a government considering levying federal charges against Zimmerman, he must also avoid the appearance of influencing an ongoing Justice Department investigation.

“Barack Obama is a lawyer and I think his legal sense is that he should do nothing that would interrupt or disrupt any future matters involving George Zimmerman,” said Charles Ogletree, a law professor at Harvard University and longtime friend of the president.

As the nation’s first black president, Obama is frequently pressed about questions of race, though he often refrains from weighing in. And on the occasions where he had, he’s had uneven results.

Obama’s speech on race as a presidential candidate in 2008 was widely praised as an honest — and politically risky — handling of the tricky topic. But his 2009 comments about the arrest of a black Harvard professor in his own home turned into a political firestorm and the president was forced to retract his statement that police had “acted stupidly” in detaining Henry Louis Gates.

Much of the furor over the president’s criticism of Gates’ arrest centered on the fact that his comments targeted law enforcement. Perhaps learning a lesson from that experience, the president and his advisers have purposefully avoided weighing in on the handling of the Zimmerman case by police, the courts and his own Justice Department, which is reviewing the prospect of filing criminal civil rights charges.

“He will not comment on a Department of Justice investigation or on a decision that the Department of Justice will make on how to proceed, if to proceed,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said.

Instead, Obama’s comments — both in the weeks after Martin’s death and following the verdict — have been more personal, focusing in part on his role as a father.

“If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon,” Obama said when he first addressed the case in March 2012. “When I think about this boy, I think about my own kids.”

Despite White House efforts to carefully avoid weighing in on legal aspects of the case, Republicans have criticized the president for commenting at all, saying his words helped a

Juror: Zimmerman jury was initially split

AP Photo President Barack Obama speaks during a ceremony to present the 5,000th Daily Point of Light Award to Floyd Hammer and Kathy Hamilton, from Union, Iowa, in the East Room of the White House in Washington, Monday. With the burden for future charges in the death of Trayvon Martin now squarely on his administration, President Barack Obama is seeking to inject calm into a case that has inflamed passions, including his own.

local legal matter morph into a national spectacle.

“President Obama politicized this at the beginning of it, I believe, unfortunately, by injecting himself into it,” said Karl Rove, former political adviser to President George W. Bush.

Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, said the president turned a law-and-order matter “into a political issue.” Rove and King both spoke Sunday on Fox News.

Zimmerman was acquitted Saturday in the February shooting death of Martin, who was unarmed when he was killed. Martin’s parents and civil rights leaders said Zimmerman racially profiled the teenager when he followed him through a gated community and shot him, but Zimmerman said he was physically assaulted by Martin and shot the teenager in selfdefense.

The Justice Department could still launch criminal civil rights charges against Zimmerman. Attorney General Eric Holder is reviewing evidence to determine whether to proceed on such charges after stepping aside to allow the state prosecution to run its

course. However, legal experts say there are major hurdles to federal prosecution, including the burden of proving that Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch leader, was motivated by racial animosity.

Holder, the nation’s first black attorney general, said Monday that Martin’s killing was a “tragic, unnecessary shooting.” The Justice Department, he said, will follow “the facts and the law” as it reviews evidence to see whether federal criminal charges are warranted.

The NAACP and other civil rights organizations dismayed by the Florida jury’s verdict are calling on the Justice Department to open a case against Zimmerman. As of Tuesday, more than 22,000 people had signed a White House petition supporting DOJ charges.

Senior White House officials have discussed the case with NAACP leaders in recent days, the organization said. But the White House insisted Monday that the president would not personally be involved in the decision to levy charges, nor would he weigh in personally on whether he supported that step.

MIAMI (AP) — As they began deliberating in George Zimmerman’s murder trial, three of the six jurors wanted to acquit him while the other three wanted to convict him of either murder or manslaughter, one of the jurors said.

The six-woman jury ultimately voted to acquit Zimmerman in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder in last year’s shooting but the jury also was allowed to consider manslaughter.

The woman, known as Juror B37, told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Monday that when the jury began deliberations Friday, they took an initial vote. Three jurors— including B37 — were in favor of acquittal, two supported manslaughter and one backed second-degree murder. She said the jury started going through all the evidence, listening to tapes multiple times.

“That’s why it took us so long,” said B37, who said she planned to write a book about the trial but later had a change of heart.

When they started looking at the law, the person who initially wanted second-degree murder changed her vote to manslaughter, the juror said. Then they asked for clarification from the judge and went over it again and again. B37 said some jurors wanted to find Zimmerman guilty of something, but there was just no place to go based on the law.

B37 said jurors cried when they gave their final vote to the bailiff.

“I want people to know that we put everything into everything to get this verdict,” said the juror, whose face was blacked out during the televised interview but who appeared to become choked up.

The interview came two days after the jury acquitted Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch volunteer, of second-degree murder in the shooting death of Martin in a gated community in Sanford, Fla. Martin was black, and Zimmerman identifies himself as Hispanic. Zimmerman was not arrested for 44 days, and the delay in charging him led to protests from those who believed race was a factor in the handling of the case.

While prosecutors accused Zimmerman of profiling Martin, Zimmerman maintained he acted in self-defense.

Juror B37, the only juror to speak publicly about the case so far, said Monday that the actions of Zimmerman and Martin both led to the teenager’s fatal shooting, but that Zimmerman didn’t actually break the law.

While Zimmerman made some poor decisions leading up to the shooting, including leaving his car when police told him not to, Martin wasn’t innocent either, the juror said.

“I think both were responsible for the situation they had gotten themselves into,” said the juror. “I think they both could have walked away.”

The juror said Sanford Police Detective Chris Serino made a big impression on her, because he would have been accustomed to dealing with murders and similar cases. He would have known how to spot a liar, and yet he testified that he believed Zimmerman, the juror said.

Legal analysts agreed that Serino’s testimony was a blow to the state’s case. The Sanford police were criticized last year for not arresting Zimmerman, and Gov. Rick Scott later appointed a special prosecutor, who brought charges against the neighborhood watch volunteer.

The juror said she didn’t think Martin’s race was the reason Zimmerman followed him on a dark, rainy night. She said she also believed Martin threw the first punch and that Zimmerman, whom she referred to as “George,” had a right to defend himself.

Helmet water leak aborts spacewalk; astronaut OK CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA aborted a spacewalk at the International Space Station on Tuesday because of a dangerous water leak in an astronaut’s helmet that drenched his eyes, nose and mouth.

The leak was so bad that Luca Parmitano, Italy’s first spacewalker, couldn’t hear or speak as the spacewalk came to an abrupt end. He

asked his spacewalking partner, Christopher Cassidy, for help getting back in.

“He looks miserable.

But OK,” Cassidy assured Mission Control in Houston.

The source of the leak wasn’t immediately known but a possible culprit was the helmet drink bag that astronauts sip from during spacewalks, although Parmitano later reported the water had an odd taste.

Water (OOTC:TSWT) also is piped through the long underwear worn under a spacesuit, for cooling.

Parmitano reported, “It’s a lot of water,” before he could no longer talk. His

crewmates quickly yanked off his helmet, once he was back inside.

NASA seldom cuts a spacewalk short. Tuesday’s problem left them with no choice. Parmitano could have choked on the floating water droplets in his helmet.

The trouble cropped up barely an hour into what was to be a six-hour spacewalk to perform cable work and other routine maintenance that had stacked up over the past couple years.

It was the astronauts’ second spacewalk in eight days.

Parmitano startled everyone when he announced that he felt a lot of water on

to show his crewmates where the water had crept over his head.

Cassidy told Mission Control: “To him, the water clearly did not taste like our normal drinking water.”

A smiling Parmitano then chimed in: “Just so you know, I’m alive and I can

answer those questions, too.”

Mission Control praised the crew for its fast effort and promptly scheduled a radio hookup with flight surgeons on the ground.

Engineers, meanwhile, scrambled to determine the source of the leak.

the back of his head.

At first, he thought it was sweat because of all his exertion on the job. But he was repeatedly assured it was not sweat. Cassidy said it might be water from his drink bag; it looked like a half-liter of water had leaked out.

The water eventually got into Parmitano’s eyes.

That’s when NASA ordered the two men back inside.

Then the water drenched his nose and mouth, and he had trouble hearing on the radio lines.

Cassidy quickly cleaned up the work site once Parmitano was back in the air lock, then joined him back in the space station.

The four astronauts who anxiously monitored the drama from inside hustled to remove Parmitano’s helmet. They clustered around him, eight hands pulling off his helmet and using towels to mop his bald head. Balls of water floated away.

Parmitano looked relatively fine on NASA TV as he gestured with his hands

Capture of Zetas leader unlikely to quell violence MEXICO CITY (AP) — The capture of the notoriously brutal Zetas leader Miguel Angel Trevino Morales represents a serious blow to Mexico’s most feared drug cartel, but experts cautioned that taking down the group’s command structure is unlikely to diminish violence in the border states where it dominates through terror.

Trevino Morales, 40, was captured before dawn Monday by Mexican marines who intercepted a pickup truck with $2 million in cash in the countryside outside the border city of Nuevo Laredo, which has long served as the Zetas’ base of operations. The truck was halted by a marine helicopter, and Trevino Morales was taken into custody along with a bodyguard and an accountant and eight guns, government spokesman Eduardo Sanchez told reporters.

It was the first major blow against an organized crime leader by the administration of President Enrique Pena Nieto, which has struggled to drive down persistently high levels of violence. Experts on the Zetas said the arrest, at least the eighth capture or killing of a high-ranking cartel leader since 2011, could leave behind a series of cells scattered across northern Mexico without a central command but with the same appetite for kidnapping, extortion and other crimes against innocent people.

“It’s another link in the destruction of the Zetas as a coherent, identifiable organization,” said Alejandro Hope, a former member of Mexico’s domestic intelligence service. “There will still be people who call themselves Zetas, bands of individuals who maintain the same modus operandi. There will be fights over illegal networks.”

The Zetas remain active in Nuevo

Jorge Vazquez, second from right, spokesman of the Mexican Navy and Carlos Cervantes, Commissioner for National Security and Federal Police in Mexico City, Monday, July 15, 2013. Sanchez announced that Miguel Angel Trevino Morales, the notoriously brutal leader of the Zetas drug cartel, was captured by Mexican Marines before dawn Monday after being intercepted in a pickup truck with $2 million in cash on a dirt road in the countryside outside the border city of Nuevo Laredo, which has long served as their base of operations.

Laredo, the nearby border state of Coahuila, the Gulf Coast state of Veracruz, parts of north central Mexico and Central America, although Trevino Morales’ arrest means the gang has become “a franchise operation, not a vertical organization,” said George Grayson, an expert on the Zetas and a professor of government at the College of William & Mary.

The Zetas leader and his alleged accomplices were flown to Mexico City, where they are expected to eventually be tried in a closed system that usually

takes years to prosecute cases, particularly high-profile ones.

Trevino Morales, known as “Z-40,” is uniformly described as one of the two most powerful cartel heads in Mexico, the leader of a corps of special forces defectors who went to work for drug traffickers, splintered off into their own cartel in 2010 and metastasized across Mexico, expanding from drug dealing into extortion, human trafficking and other activity.

Along the way, the Zetas authored some of the worst atrocities of Mexico’s

drug war, leaving hundreds of bodies beheaded on roadsides or hanging from bridges and earning a reputation as perhaps the most terrifying of the country’s numerous ruthless cartels.

On Trevino Morales’ watch, 72 Central and South American migrants were slaughtered by the Zetas in the northern town of San Fernando in 2010, authorities said. By the following year, federal officials announced finding 193 bodies buried in San Fernando, most belonging to migrants kidnapped off buses and killed by the Zetas, some because they refused to work as drug mules.

Sanchez said Trevino Morales is charged with ordering the kidnapping and killing of the 265 migrants, along with numerous other charges of murder, torture and other crimes.

Pena Nieto came into office late last year promising to drive down high levels of homicide, extortion and kidnapping but has struggled to make a credible dent in crime figures. And his pledge to focus on citizen safety over other crimes has sparked worries among U.S. authorities that he would ease back on predecessor Felipe Calderon’s U.S.-backed strategy aimed above all at decapitating drug cartels.

The arrest of Trevino, a man widely blamed for both massive northbound drug trafficking, will almost certainly earn praise from Pena Nieto’s U.S. and Mexican critics alike.

Trevino Morales’ capture adds to the long list of Zetas’ leaders who have been arrested or killed in recent years, including Zeta head Heriberto Lazcano Lazcano, whose fatal shooting by authorities last year left Trevino Morales in charge.

Iraq attacks make for deadly start to holy month BAGHDAD (AP) — Ramadan this year is shaping up to be the deadliest in Iraq since a bloody insurgency and rampant sectarian killings pushed the country to the edge of civil war in the wake of the U.S.-led invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein.

Suicide attacks, car bombings and other violence have killed more than 160 Iraqis just seven days into the Islamic holy month. The death toll in the first week of Ramadan hasn’t been that high since 2007, intensifying fears that Iraq is slipping back into widespread chaos.

There seems to be little pattern in the range of targets, adding to the sense of unease in what is meant to be a month of spiritual growth and generosity.

Several of those killed over the past week died at a busy northern teashop while playing mehebis, a game where players hope to win sweets by guessing who among their opposing team is hiding a ring in their hands. Others were slain as they swam with friends, or as they shopped for festive evening dinners, or made their way home from mosques after latenight prayers.

Even for Iraqis who have grown used to hearing about random violence, day after day of doubledigit death tolls makes for a worrying trend.

Many are choosing to stay home after breaking their dawn-to-dusk fast rather than venture out for festive family get-togethers and late-night cafe sessions, worrying they could be among the next victims.

“Al-Qaida and other terrorist groups … have a better ability to move around and attack targets whenever it suits them,” said Qais Hameed, an engineer and father of three from eastern Baghdad who quit going to a nearby coffee shop after breaking his daily fast.

“This just shows that these terrorist groups are getting stronger while our security forces are getting weaker.”

The bloodshed during Ramadan is an extension of a surge of attacks that has been roiling Iraq

since the spring. It follows months of rallies by Iraq’s minority Sunnis against the Shiite-led government over what they contend is second-class treatment and the unfair use of tough anti-terrorism measures against their sect.

The killings significantly picked up after Iraqi security forces launched a heavyhanded crackdown on a Sunni protest camp in the northern town of Hawija on April 23. A ferocious backlash followed the raid, with deadly bomb attacks and the return of sporadic gunbattles between insurgents and soldiers — this time members of the Iraqi security forces rather than U.S. troops.

Ramadan, one of the holiest periods of the Islamic calendar, appears to be following that worrisome trend. It was always a popular period for attacks during the worst days of Iraq’s violence as Shiite and Sunni extremists battled each other as well as U.S. forces.

The first Ramadan following the 2003 U.S.-led invasion began with a blistering wave of suicide bombings at police stations and the Red Cross headquarters.

In the years that followed, American military commanders braced for a surge in violence during the holy month. In 2007, 934 people were killed during Ramadan, including 236 the first week, according to an Associated Press count.

But as the war wound down, so did violence during the holy month.

“Ramadan used to be a bad month (for violence), but then over recent years it became a relatively quiet month,” said John Drake, an Iraq specialist for the British-based AKE security consulting firm.

But, Drake added, “it already looks like this trend is being reversed.”

U.N. figures show more than 2,500 Iraqis killed and many more wounded from April through June of this year. Another 331 have died so far in July, including two policemen targeted by gunmen in and around

the restive northern city of Mosul on Wednesday, according to an AP count.

In a report released this week, U.N. SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon described the scale of violence in recent months as alarming and said “rising inter-sectarian tensions are posing a major threat to stability and security in

Iraq.” Ban also warned that the increasingly sectariancharged civil war raging in neighboring Syria is affecting Iraq’s own political stability.

Although Iraq is officially neutral in the conflict, U.S. officials charge that it continues to allow flights suspected of carrying Iranian arms to transit

its airspace. Iraqi officials have carried out some spot checks of Iranian planes and say they’ve found nothing. Iraqi fighters are meanwhile traveling to fight in Syria, with Shiites fighting alongside regime forces and Iraq’s al-Qaida arm, now known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, siding with the

mostly Sunni rebels.

No one has claimed responsibility for many of the terrorist attacks. But the indiscriminate and often coordinated bombings used in most of the attacks are a favorite tactic of al-Qaida, which hopes to stoke sectarian hatred and undermine Iraq’s Shiite-led government.

After the War of 1812, many settlers moved to Ohio. Some came by boat, while others came by wagon. By 1820, the new state of Ohio had grown to a population of 5,000. There was not much reliable transportation at that time. There was a network of unpaved roads that crossed the state, but travel by land was slow and expensive. In 1825, the state legislature decided to build canals to improve transportation. Between 1825 and 1847, 1,000-mile of canals were built in Ohio.

Canals were large, man-made ditches, filled with water that carried boats over hilly, uneven areas. Canals in Ohio were built Canal Boat by hand – dug with picks and Courtesy of the Mount Vernon News shovels. They were built mainly

by Irish, German and French immigrants who worked for 31 cents a day, plus food and shelter. The canals were 40-feet-wide and four-feet-deep.

Two major canals were built in Ohio. The Ohio and Erie Canal crossed the eastern part of Ohio, while the Miami and Erie Canal crossed western Ohio.

The first section of the Ohio and Erie Canal, connecting Cleveland to Akron, opened in 1827. The final section of this project opened in 1832, connecting Cleveland to Portsmouth. Before this canal was built, it took 30 days to travel by land from Akron to New York City. After its construction, the same trip took just 10 Toledo • days by canal boat.

Health law’s rule delay could hamper enforcement for many will cost hundreds of dollars.

“If Americans begin to figure out that the individual requirement is toothless for 2014 … younger, healthier uninsured people will stay away in droves,” said Edward Fensholt, director of compliance services for the Lockton Companies, a benefits consulting firm that advises employers. With fewer healthy people in the pool, premiums in new health insurance markets coming this fall could rise.

The latest twist emerged a day ahead of votes in the Republican-led U.S. House to delay both the individual and employer mandates.

The House measures, which have little chance of advancing in the Senate, are part of a series of Republican attempts to repeal or defund “Obamacare.”

The administration declined to address the new enforcement concerns on the

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s daughter Liz Cheney will run against Wyoming’s senior U.S. senator in next year’s Republican primary, her campaign said Tuesday.

Liz Cheney, 46, is the elder of Dick Cheney’s two daughters. Her announcement is a political challenge unlike anything Wyoming has seen for years, maybe decades.

Republicans in the state rarely challenge incumbents of their own party in national office.

All three members of the state’s congressional delegation and all statewide elected officials are Republican.

Liz Cheney is married and has five children. She hasn’t been a longtime Wyoming resident but she and her husband bought a home in the posh northwest Wyoming community of Jackson Hole last year.

“I am running because I know, as a mother and a patriot, we can no longer afford simply to go along to get along. We can’t continue business as usual in Washington,” Cheney said in a statement.

Meanwhile, apparently aware that Cheney’s announcement was imminent, Sen. Mike Enzi announced his bid for a fourth term. He made the announcement more than six months earlier in the political cycle than he has in the past.

Enzi said he would continue to “do the job I was already elected to do.”

“Working behind the scenes — this is what I have been doing since I was elected and this is what needs to be done,” he said by email through his spokesman.

The race promises to be hard-fought. Enzi has had few serious Democratic opponents — much less Republican ones — and remains well-liked as an affable former shoe salesman and mayor of the coalmining city of Gillette.

Enzi takes pride in keeping a lower profile and remaining much less partisan than most of his colleagues. He often refers to his “80-20” rule — that opposing parties usually can agree on 80 percent of the details of any given issue — as a model for Republicans and Democrats to work

together.

Enzi handily won reelection in 2008 with more than 75 percent of the vote.

Cheney’s interest in the seat has been an open secret for months, dating back at least to last year’s purchase of a Wilson home listed for $1.9 million.

She appeared onstage with her father at last year’s state Republican Party convention. It was Dick Cheney’s first public appearance since he underwent a heart transplant, and father and daughter have been working on a book together.

Since then, Liz Cheney has made frequent appearances at countylevel Republican events in virtually every corner of the state.

The Cheneys are wellestablished as a family with Wyoming roots — an important qualification for anybody seeking major office in the state. Her announcement release pointed out that the Cheney family goes back more than 100 years in Wyoming.

Liz Cheney was born in Madison, Wis. Liz Cheney has been in the national public eye in recent years as a Fox News political commentator.

“Anybody can get in the race that wants to get in the race. There’s at least one person that’s trying to get me to retire,” Enzi said earlier this month at a constituent meeting in Pine Bluffs. He declined to say who he was referring to. “No, people can judge who they think that is themselves,” he said.

Alan K. Simpson, a former U.S. Senator from Wyoming and a longtime observer of state politics, said Tuesday he couldn’t comment on what the race would mean for the Wyoming Republican Party.

“Right now, I have nothing to say at all except one thing, I deeply care about both of them, and that’s all I have to say,” Simpson said of Enzi and Cheney.

Cheney holds a law degree from the University of Chicago and has worked as a lawyer for the State Department and the Agency for International Development.

WASHINGTON (AP) — There’s a bit of a domino effect undercutting President Barack Obama’s health care law.

Enforcement of the overhaul’s central mandate — that individual Americans must have coverage — could be weakened by the Obama administration’s recent delay of a requirement that larger employers provide medical insurance.

That’s because the delayed rule also required companies to report health insurance details for employees. Without employers validating who’s covered, a scofflaw could lie, and the government would have no easy way to check.

The Treasury Department said Tuesday it expects any impact to be minor, since most people will not risk telling the government a lie. Still, it’s another incentive for uninsured people to ignore a new government requirement that

Engineer at center of train derailment speaks out LAC -MEGANTIC, Quebec (AP) — The engineer who parked the oil train that rolled away, derailed and exploded in the center of a Quebec town was heard from Tuesday for the first time since the July 6 disaster that killed 50 people, with his lawyer saying he is “devastated.”

Journalists, meanwhile, were allowed their first close-up view of the disaster, where misshapen, blackened oil tankers were still steaming from the intense heat that has slowed the recovery of bodies.

Lawyer Thomas Walsh said Tom Harding needs time to recover from the shock. Walsh said he hopes to get psychological help for his client, who has been staying at an undisclosed location to stay away from the media.

“I used the word ‘devastated,’ and I think that’s one word that’s applicable, but he’s very, very low,” Walsh said.

Harding had not spoken publicly since the Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway train hurtled down a seven-mile (11-kilometer) incline, derailed and ignited in Lac-Megantic, near the Maine border. All but one of its 73 cars was carrying oil, and at least five exploded.

The crash, the worst railway accident in Canada in nearly 150 years, has raised questions about the growing use of rail to transport oil in North America.

Harding had left the train unattended overnight to sleep at a local inn shortly before it barreled into town, devastating the downtown bar area and forcing a third of the 6,000 residents to flee. Officials said Tuesday that another body had been recovered, for a total of 38, and 12 have not been identified.

The search continued for 12 bodies amid hazardous conditions.

A local cabbie who picked up Harding from work the night of the accident said the idling train was expelling more smoke than usual. He remembered seeing oil droplets landing on his car and asking Harding twice about it. He said Harding responded that he’d followed the proper procedures before he retired to the inn.

An inn employee said the engineer had a look of terror on his face as he bolted from his room after hearing the explosion.

Edward Burkhardt, president and CEO of the railway’s U.S.-based parent company, Rail World Inc., has singled out the engineer as culpable.

Burkhardt questioned whether he had properly set enough hand brakes and said the engineer had been suspended without pay.

Walsh said he would advise Harding not to make any kind of public statement about the disaster or the allegations of his culpability.

“I think we’re better to let the dust settle and find out the specifics from the investigators — maybe if there are some specifics, he might want to respond to them,” the lawyer said.

He said Harding has been co-operating with officials.

“He was interviewed for a long period of time by the Surete du Quebec (Quebec police) and by the safety investigators from Transport Canada last week,” Walsh said.

Hurtling too fast for comfort down a twisty, turning foothill of the Alps, Tour de France leader Chris Froome faced a high-speed choice between risk and reward.

The Briton knew that 10 years ago on exactly the same descent, Joseba Beloki shattered his leg, elbow and wrist rounding a corner too fast and Lance Armstrong plowed into a field to avoid the prone Spaniard howling in pain.

All-Star small ball: NEW YORK (AP) — Jose Bautista’s sacrifice fly and J.J. Hardy’s RBI grounder gave the American League a 2-0 lead in the All-Star game after six innings on Tuesday night as it tried to end a three-year losing streak. The game was not complete at time of press.

Matt Harvey and Max Scherzer dazzled with pitching at the start, but the AL broke through in the fourth against Patrick Corbin after Miguel Cabrera’s leadoff double, ending a 17-inning scoreless streak dating to Adrian Gonzalez’s home run against Cliff Lee two years ago. Adams Jones doubled and scored on Hardy’s grounder in the fifth.

Scherzer combined with Chris Sale, Felix Hernandez, Matt Moore and Grant Balfour on a one-hitter, allowing only Carlos Beltran’s one-out single in the fourth.

The Yankees got a scare when Harvey hit Robinson Cano on

“A little tight. I didn’t want to aggravate it and just try to play through a situation,” Cano said.

“Nothing bad.”

Before a record crowd of 45,186 at Citi Field, the New York Mets hosted baseball’s big summer event for the first time since 1964 at Shea Stadium.

Already an elite pitcher less than a year into his major league career, Harvey struck out three in two innings and was followed by Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, who retired three in a row.

Troy Post 43’s Nick Sanders doubled, tripled and drove in two runs in a 12-4 victory over Lima in the first round of the District Legion Tournament Tuesday at Duke Park.

The big things Nealeigh, Lavy power Troy to win

By JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com

Early on, Troy Post 43 couldn’t get the little things right.

A couple of big things turned that all around.

After Lima took a one-run lead, Post 43 (37-10) answered with a four-run fifth inning — capped off by a mammoth threerun homer by Colton Nealeigh — to take charge for good, and Ryan Lavy made sure that stood up with six outstanding innings of relief in a 12-4 Troy victory to kick off the District Legion Tournament Tuesday night at Duke Park.

Troy got single runs in the first and second innings, but in both innings outs at the plate cost a shot at even more.

“We tried to push them (Lima) early on,” Troy Post 43 coach Frosty Brown said.

“The last time we played them, they made mistakes. And later on in tonight’s game,

KENT (AP) — Kent State has won a $1.2 million judgment against former men’s basketball coach Geno Ford for leaving in 2011 to become coach at Bradley.

The lawsuit claimed Ford had no permission to terminate his Kent State contract, which was scheduled to expire in 2015. Ford’s teams went 68-37 in three seasons at Kent State.

Bradley University issued a statement Tuesday saying its actions and Ford’s actions “have been entirely ethical, legal, and transparent. The lawsuit is ongoing and will continue to be addressed through the court system.”

Fritz Byers, an attorney representing Ford, declined comment. Messages seeking comment were left for the coach.

While Kent State agreed to let Ford talk to Bradley, “Consent to interview was not a consent to breach the employment contract,” Portage County Common Pleas Judge John Enlow said in a 14-page ruling Friday. “KSU did not acquiesce to Coach Ford’s abandonment of their mutual contract.”

Ford was Kent State’s head coach from April 2008 through March 27, 2011, when Bradley announced him as its new coach.

Ford led Kent State to its second consecutive Mid-American Conference regular-season title in 2010-11. The Flashes finished 25-12 and lost in the NIT quarterfinals.

Ford also has coached at NAIA Shawnee State and Division III Muskingum.

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said the ruling reflects a state obligation to insure contract enforcement.

“When coaches and high-profile employees leave public universities in breach of their contracts, the state of Ohio has an obligation to seek the compensation to which it is entitled,” DeWine said in a statement Tuesday.

Kent State’s claims against Bradley for alleged contract interference are scheduled for trial Oct. 7, DeWine said.

All-Star game played under drug cloud NEW YORK (AP) — Chris Davis knows power surges lead to suspicion in the 21st century. The debate has even trickled down to clubhouse banter.

“We always joke about it — how many home runs did you hit today?” the Baltimore Orioles slugger recounted.

“You hit two — well, you better be hydrated tomorrow.”

As in, make sure you drink enough fluids to produce a urine sample for a drug test.

It’s hard to talk about MVPs these days without discussing PEDs. Davis leads the major leagues with 37 home runs, matching Reggie Jackson in 1969 for most by an American League player at the All-Star break. He’s among a record 39 first-time All-Stars as baseball paused for its midsummer celebration at Citi Field.

But up ahead, more suspensions for performance-enhancing drugs appear imminent. Union head Michael Weiner said before Tuesday’s game he expects Major League Baseball will complete its investigation within a month and speak with the players’ association to determine the mechanics of discipline, which would be subject to grievances and arbitration.

Last year, San Francisco outfielder Melky Cabrera was MVP of the AllStar game, then was suspended five weeks later for 50 games following a positive test for testosterone. Four AllStars this year — San Diego shortstop Everth Cabrera, Oakland pitcher Bartolo Colon, Texas outfielder Nelson Cruz and Detroit shortstop Jhonny Peralta — have been linked in media reports to Biogenesis, the closed Florida anti-aging

clinic accused of distributing PEDs. Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig maintains he’s not concerned the showcase could be decided by a player who may be disciplined when his probe is concluded.

“Whatever happens, happens. Given our knowledge today, that’s not frustrating at all,” he said. “You play the hand you’re dealt with on that day, and you can’t second guess two weeks or two months or three months later.”

Selig says players have complained to him that the vast majority who comply with the sport’s drug rules have been tarnished along with those who think they can get away with using banned performance-boosters.

Tough to pick the favorite

BY DOUG FERGUSON AP GOLF WRITER

M

GULLANE, SCOTLAND

uirfield, the links course along the Firth of Forth, has delivered nothing but the most worthy winners in the 121 years since first hosting the British Open.

Every champion since World War II is in the World Golf Hall of Fame, a list that includes Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player, Lee Trevino and Tom Watson.

One reason is because Muirfield is regarded as the fairest of the courses on the British Open rotation. There are no tricks and very few blind shots.

offseason. He is changing his management.

What he needs to change are his results.

He has only come close to winning once this year, and after missing the cut in the Irish Open, the 24-year-old from Northern Ireland conceded that he felt “lost.”

It there is a trend in the majors so far this year, it’s the quality of the first-time winners — Adam Scott at the Masters and Justin Rose in the U.S. Open.

Both are 32, longtime friends born two weeks apart. Both have had to cope with struggles at various times in their careers.

Not long after winning a green jacket, Scott sent Rose a text message that said: “This is our time.”

Rose lived up to his end of the bargain at Merion.

Muirfield Golf Course on the east coast of Scotland has previously hosted The British Open Championship 15 times, most recently in 2002 when reigning 2012 Champion, Ernie Els, lifted the Claret Jug.

The forecast is for dry weather, though memories from the last British Open at Muirfield should be a reminder to count on nothing when it comes to the elements at golf’s oldest championship.

Woods had won the Masters and U.S. Open in 2002 and was going for the third leg of the Grand Slam when a storm arrived without warning and brought a nasty combination of 40 mph winds, buckets of rain and wintry temperatures.

Woods shot 81, the worst score of his career, and that was that.

Els, another Hall of Fame champion, returns as the defending British Open champion, having won at Royal Lytham & St. Annes last year when Scott bogeyed the last four holes.

It’s another example to expect anything at the majors these days.

Players Tiger Woods. might opt for less Even so, tee Woods club off the to struggled to find the right definition of an “outsider” when asked Tuesday about the trend of high-caliber winners at Muirfield. Because if an “outsider” is someone who had never won a major, then all bets are off.

“You probably can’t say that given the fact that over the past, what, five years or so … that we’ve had first-time winners at virtually every single major,” Woods said. “The fields are so deep now and the margin between the first player and the last player in the field is not that big anymore. It’s very small.”

Eighteen players have won the last 20 majors, the most diverse collection of major champions in some 25 years.

Fourteen of them had never won a major.

Perhaps it was more than just a coincidence when Woods dated this trend to the last five years.

Because that’s when he stopped winning them.

“There’s certainly a connection between so many different winners and Tiger not winning one,” Graeme McDowell said.

“Because we all know when he gets in the mood, he likes to

Times sure have changed since the British Open last came to this links course along the Firth of Forth. In 2002, the question was whether Woods was going to win all four majors in a single year. Eleven years later, not a major goes by without him being asked when he’s going to win one — any of them — again.

The drought is at 16 majors, stretched over five years, since Woods hobbled and winced his way to a playoff win at Torrey Pines in the 2008 U.S. Open for his 14th career major, leaving him four short of the standard set by Jack Nicklaus.

Woods gets defensive when asked about his confidence.

Surely it would seem to have been easier when he was winning them with regularity. All he can do is point to his four PGA Tour wins this year, his No. 1 ranking fully restored, the way his named his bandied about as a favorite at every Grand Slam event.

But there are no answers for why he can win just about anywhere except in the majors.

It led to a bogey, which became a triple-bogey 8 when it was discovered he took an illegal drop. He never seriously challenged the rest of the week.

“It’s not much,” Woods said.

“It could happen on the first day. It could happen on the last day. But it’s turning that tide and getting the momentum at the right time or capitalizing on an opportunity. That’s what you have to do to win major championships.”

One thing that no longer concerns him, at least going into the opening round Thursday, is his health.

Woods revealed during the U.S. Open that he had a left elbow injury that was aggravated by hitting out of the thick rough at Merion. Doctors told him it was an elbow strain and recommended rest, forcing him to miss his title defense at Congressional and likely another start at The Greenbrier.

He has not competed since the U.S. Open, and while he says “everything is good to go,” he has played only nine holes each day.

Froome avoids disaster at Tour

Big n Continued from page 17

they did, too. But early on, they threw us out.”

Evan Bowling — who was 4 for 5 with three runs scored and an RBI — led off the game with a single and immediately scored on an RBI triple by Nick Sanders. With one out, though, Sanders was thrown out at the plate on a grounder back to the pitcher.

Then in the second, Jimmy Pelphrey doubled with one out and scored on a two-out RBI single

by Zach Thompson. Thompson tried to score on a single by Bowling, though, and he was thrown out at the plate by the right fielder to end the inning.

Lima then chased starter Luke Veldman after three innings of work with the score tied, and Lavy had a rough start to his night as Lima tallied three hits and put up a run in through to claim its first lead of the game at 3-2.

But that all changed in the fifth.

Bowling led off with a single and Sanders followed with a double to put runners on second and third. Garrett Mitchell then beat out an infield hit to tie the game, and Nealeigh plated all three runners by blasting the first pitch he saw over the left field fence. The left fielder didn’t even take a step toward the fence — his only move was to turn and watch it go.

“We adjusted to their starter, (Colin) Gossard, who throws so hard. He’s a high-80s guy,” Brown said. “That fifth is when we adjusted. The inning before, we hit the ball hard but had nothing to show for it. After that, we did a pretty fine job.”

Lavy, meanwhile, was in total control.

He sat down eight batters in a row after his first inning of work, then after giving up a double he sat six more consecutive down. All told, he gave up five hits and two runs, one earned, in six innings. He struck out three, hit a batter and recorded a whopping 12 flyouts.

“This is Lavy’s seventh win of the year. You’ve got to give a lot of credit to him,” Brown said. “He’s a competitor. He gave us six good innings tonight.”

Sanders finished 3 for 5 with a double, a triple and two RBIs, missing the cycle by a homer.

Nealeigh only missed one by a double, on the other hand, going 3 for 4 with a triple, a homer and four RBIs. Troy plays Piqua — which defeated Sidney 8-4 Tuesday at Market Street Diamond — at roughly 8:30 tonight at Duke Park. Lima and Sidney play at 6 p.m., with Troy and Piqua beginning after.

GAP, France (AP) — Hurtling too fast for comfort down a twisty, turning foothill of the Alps, Tour de France leader Chris Froome faced a high-speed choice between risk and reward.

The Briton knew that 10 years ago on exactly the same descent, Joseba Beloki shattered his leg, elbow and wrist rounding a corner too fast and Lance Armstrong plowed into a field to avoid the prone Spaniard howling in pain.

So Froome wanted to go easy. Trouble was, Alberto Contador didn’t. Against his better instincts, Froome chased after his Spanish rival who sped down the treacherous stretch with asphalt made gooey and slippery by the July heat.

Just like Armstrong, flirting with disaster nearly cost Froome the Tour. Contador crashed as he rounded a right-hand corner, forcing Froome to swerve off the road, onto the grass and to put a foot down to stay upright.

Unlike Contador, who bloodied his right knee, Froome escaped with just a fright. Still, the drama on Tuesday’s Stage 16 proved a point that Froome and his Sky team have made time and again: Despite his big lead, Froome won’t savor victory until he’s on the cobbles of the ChampsElysees in Paris on Sunday.

“One second you could be going for the finish and about to win a race and the next you’re lying in a ditch somewhere, with a broken bone,” Froome said.

“I knew it was the descent where Beloki crashed so I was purposefully laying

down to Gap. Although the Manse climb is less arduous and less steep than the Ventoux, where Froome blasted past Contador, the Spaniard and Kreuziger used to it test the Briton and his Australian wingman, Richie Porte. Several times, Contador tried accelerating away. Kreuziger did, too.

But Porte and then Froome alone wouldn’t let them get away.

To cool the asphalt, authorities doused the top of the climb with water. But Porte said the road down from there was sticky and slippery — just as it was in the heat wave of 2003, when Beloki’s back wheel slid away from him on a bend, hurling him to the ground. Armstrong went on to win that Tour — only to have that and all six of his other victories in cycling’s premier race stripped from him last year for doping.

On Tuesday, touching their brakes caused wheels to slip, Porte said.

“All of us had a bit of a moment coming down there, losing the front wheel, back wheel,” he said.

Yet Contador was flying, with Froome in his wake.

Rounding a sharp righthander, “the bike got away from me,” Contador said.

“It was really difficult.

In normal conditions I wouldn’t have slipped like that, but it was very difficult terrain,” said the 2007 and ‘09 champion, who was stripped of his ‘10 title for a failed doping test.

“Sometimes you have to go for it, whether it’s at the start or the end of a stage.”

AP photo The pack with Christopher Froome of Britain, wearing the overall leader’s yellow jersey, rides during the sixteenth stage of the Tour de France cycling race over 168 kilometers (105 miles) with start in in Vaison-la-Romaine and finish in Gap, France, Tuesday.

off a little bit and trying to take it easy but at the same time also trying to keep touch with the Saxobank guys who were really pushing the limits.”

By that, Froome meant Contador and his SaxoTinkoff teammate from the Czech Republic, Roman Kreuziger, who are third and fourth in the overall standings but more than four minutes off the lead.

Opportunities for them to claw back are fast running out. The finish line in Paris is now just 415 miles and five days away. To their credit, they aren’t simply accepting defeat but are harassing Froome all the way. If Froome wins, the way his rivals have repeatedly tested the British rider over the three weeks should give him the extra satisfaction of a victory hard-earned.

Stage 16 wound from Provence past vineyards, lavender fields and villages clinging to hillsides to the town of Gap, a staging post for what promises to be a grand finale in the Alps for the 100th Tour.

For a long while, it seemed as if the 104-mile trek to Gap from Vaisonla-Romaine, a charming town with old ruins near the Mont Ventoux where Froome won on Sunday, would be one of those Tour stages that don’t amount to much.

Apparently preparing for the Alps, Froome and other main protagonists allowed 26 riders — none of them a podium threat — to escape far ahead. The stage winner, Rui Costa, later emerged from that group, riding away on the day’s last climb, a 6-mile long ascent to Col de Manse, and then zipping

Word of the Week Dump — To throw away or discard garbage, refuse, etc.

Newspaper Knowledge Have a race through the newspaper to find as many geographical words as you can, like “hill”, “river”, “lake”, “plateau”.

Find examples of as many of them as you can on a map of the state.

Much of our tap water comes from rivers. And we all do things around the house every day that can affect our rivers and streams. Remember, your rivers are closer than you think. Be RiverSmart about the things you do by following these easy tips:

Words To Know Effect Purpose Draining Rain Clean

Dumping Waste Polluted Safe

Summer Time Tips Stormwater management information for Miami Valley residents

Did you know?

Soapy runoff from vehicle washing in your driveway enters the storm drains and flows untreated into our streams.

Detergent levels as low as 0.1 ppm can harm wildlife.

Detergents are a source of excessive nutrients which also degrade the creeks and streams in the Miami Valley Here are some tips on how to care for your car to minimize your car to minimize your impact on the environment:

1. Repair leaky faucets and toilets right away.

Leaky sinks and toilets can waste 50 gallons of water in one day, depleting our rivers. For a leaky faucet, look for a faulty o-ring or valve seat. Toilet leaks aren’t always so obvious.

Try pouring colored liquid into the tank. If after 15 minutes you see dye in the bowl, you may need to replace the flapper.

2. Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth and washing the dishes.

You can save 3-5 gallons a day. Try using a cup when brushing and shaving. And fill up the sink first when washing vegetables or doing a load of dishes. It’s a small change that will make a big difference.

Used motor oil can be reprocessed for reuse. Put used oil in clean container with a tight lid and contact and contact your local recycling center for where to take it.

Park and wash your cars in the grass keeping the dirty and soapy water from running from your driveway directly into the storm drains. Even better, take your car to a commercial car wash where the water is typically filtered for reuse and ultimately treated at a wastewater treatment plant.

Keep your car serviced. Regular tune-ups reduce the amount of hydrocarbons, nitrous oxide, and other pollutants which impact our water as well as our air.

Repair leaks. Spots on your driveway or garage floor indicate the engine, transmission or radiator is leaking. Clean up spots and spills with cat litter or other absorbent materials and place into the trash. Do not dump or hose these pollutant into streets or storm drains.

3. Run the washing machine and dishwasher only when they are fully loaded.

You can save between 300-800 gallons of water each month.

4. Dispose of household cleaners, paint and other chemicals safely.

Many cleaning products found in our homes and garages are too dangerous to be disposed of in the trash or down the drain. Read the label: anything marked “Poison” or “Danger” should be taken to your local hazardous waste center. Use water-based paints and dry off excess paint with a paper towel before rinsing your paintbrush.

5. Sweep off-instead of hosing-the driveway, patio or sidewalk.

Hosing for 15 minutes wastes 150 gallons of water. Water run-off from our driveways or sidewalks carries contaminants, such as dirt, motor oil, fertilizers and animal waste, into our rivers.

6. Pick up after your pet.

When it rains, bacteria from pet waste left in the yard can run into our streets and storm drains, polluting our rivers and streams. This can be harmful to humans and to wildlife using the river. Be a good neighbor by picking up after your pet at home and on walks.

7. Fix car leaks promptly.

Leaky cars leave drips or puddles of motor oil and other fluids on our streets and driveways. When it rains, these contaminants run down our streets, through the storm drains, and into our rivers. So clean stains on your driveway or street and fix car leaks right away. Preventing polluted run-off will help keep our rivers and drinking water safe.

8. Take care when changing your car’s motor oil and dispose of the oil safely.

One quart of motor oil can pollute 250,000 gallons of river water, so use a large pan if you are changing motor oil yourself. Never pour leftover oil down a storm drain or into the trash - instead, drop it off at your local hazardous waste center.

9. Water your lawn and garden only in the morning or evening.

Water evaporates quickly during the middle of the day.

Remember, a lawn only needs 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week, and you can set our a can to measure for you.

Watering less creates deeper, stronger roots and a healthier lawn. Or you could try letting the lawn go brown, as nature intended during summer months. Another option is to plant native plants or xeriscaping that require less water altogether.

10. Buy and use environmentally friendly products.

Choose safer, multi-purpose cleaners marked with only a “Caution” warning, rather than products with “Poison” and “Danger” on the label. Avoid chlorine, phosphate products and solvents like paint thinner. Visit www.riversmart.org to find recipes for inexpensive, safe alternatives.
