Flags fly in honor of Pfc. Jeffrey Rice outside of Baird Funeral Home Sunday during visitation hours.

A community comes together Hundreds turn out to pay respects to fallen Troy soldier

BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com

TROY

They came from all walks of life — every age, every background — all with one common goal.

To pay tribute to a fallen hero.

The viewing for Army Private First Class Jeffrey Rice — a 2007 Troy High School graduate who was killed July 19 while serving in Kandahar, Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom — was held Sunday at Baird Funeral Home.

Funeral services will be conducted at 10:30 a.m. today at Baird RICE Funeral Home, with Chaplain Dan Burris officiating.

Military rites will follow the service. There will be no burial ceremony; cremation will follow today’s service.

Sunday, a steady trickle of well wishers began arriving at Baird Funeral Home at noon and continued unabated until well into the evening. Several hundred people stopped by to pay their final respects to Pfc. Rice.

“This is what a small town is about,” said family friend Eric Krites. Krites and his wife Jenell have gone on vacation with Rice’s mother, Sandy Wheelock, and her family for years. “It’s more of a huge family in a small town. It’s neat to see what happens in a community like Troy when the community pulls together in a time of

tragedy. It shows an incredible amount of support for the family.”

Troy City Schools Superintendent Eric Herman, who was Rice’s principal at Troy High School his freshman year, remembers Rice as “a quiet kid, a nice kid.” He said before Rice’s family decided to have services at Baird Funeral Home, there had been some discussion about using Troy Junior High School to host the memorial services.

“It was amazing the way people in our schools pulled together,” Herman said. “It’s summer, so we had a lot of people on vacation. But within a day, everyone had pulled together and was getting the school ready to go. You didn’t hear a peep out of anyone about it. People wanted to pitch in and help out. That’s the type of community Troy is.”

Many people who did not know Rice or his family felt compelled to pay their final respects Sunday. Fletcher resident Audrey Kaveney is a United States Army veteran who served in Operation Desert Storm in the early 1990s. While she didn’t know Rice or his family personally, she said she felt a strong kinship with a fellow member of the armed services.

“I wanted to show support,” she said. “It’s just like losing a family member.”

Patriot Guard: ‘If the family calls us, we will be there’

BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com TROY — Long before the funeral procession leading Army Private First Class Jeffrey Rice on his final journey back to Troy Saturday could be seen, it could be heard.

The ground-shaking, silence-shattering roar of motorcycles belonging to the Ohio Patriot Guard Riders rang out a clarion call, announcing the return of a fallen hero.

The Bethel Local School District is asking its residents to support the district by voting “yes” on two levies on the Aug. 7 ballot.

One levy is a 2-mill renewal levy for permanent improvements, which include school maintenance and property repairs, and the other is a 7-mill replacement levy for operating expenses, which pays for the school’s expenses and the staff ’s salaries.

Both levies have been supported by the community multiple times before.

With the passage of the replacement levy, homeowners of a $100,000 house can expect to pay an additional cost of $53.28 a year.

The reasons for having two levies on the ballot is that the state has made major cuts in funding for all public schools, and Bethel already has taken some measures to cut their budget.

In 2010, the school passed an earned income tax as a five-year, 0.75 percent income tax, but the passage did not create the revenue for which the school had hoped.

“Sometimes it takes a year-and-a-half to fully collect income tax, and ours had not been coming in as anticipated. The Department of Taxation’s explanation is it’s just going to take some more collections to generate what it was intended to generate,” treasurer Karen Newman said.

This year, it is projected that Bethel will receive $236,000 less than the amount of funding it has been given in earlier years such as 2009, which is more than a 9 percent decrease.

With the school’s checkbook balance decreasing by $200,000 or more each year since 2007, according to Newman, the school needs their community to make up the difference made by the state’s cutbacks. If passed, the 7-mill replacement levy would add $270,000 each year to the school’s budget.

Newman added that the Bethel school board believes that the school has done its part at controlling

Tipp schools to place levy on Aug. 7 ballot

BY JOHN BADEN For the Troy Daily News editorial@tdnpublishing.com Tipp City Exempted Village School District is asking residents to vote “yes” for a five-year, 7.95 mill-tax levy at the special election set for Aug. 7.

This marks the first 6

TIPP CITY time the school has come to voters for new money in three years. The reason for doing so, according to Superintendent Dr. John Kronour, is the loss of some state funding.

The state previously cut

$1.3 million dollars from Tipp City School’s funding for this past school year, which lead the school to cut that exact amount out of its expenses to make it through this year.

According to Kronour, the school will lose about $700,000 in state funding for next year. That would

demand the school to cut another million dollars to balance its budget if the levy doesn’t pass which would prevent the district from going into fiscal watch.

Kronour said the passage of the levy will help the school through the next five years by replacing the money that was lost and

continuing the school’s programming.

“We’re not looking at starting any major programs, but to continue what we need to do in terms of providing the levels of service that I think our community has grown

Romney declares Jerusalem to be capital JERUSALEM (AP) — Standing on Israeli soil, U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Sunday declared Jerusalem to be the capital of the Jewish state and said the United States has “a solemn duty and a moral imperative” to block Iran from achieving nuclear weapons capability.

“Make no mistake, the ayatollahs in Iran are testing our moral defenses. They want to know who will object and who will look the other way,” he said. “We will not look away nor will our country ever look away from our passion and commitment to Israel.”

The presidential election hovered over the speech. The Old City formed a made-for-television backdrop behind Romney, while some of his campaign donors listened in the audience.

Romney’s declaration that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital was matter-of-fact and in keeping with claims made by Israeli governments for decades, even though the United States, like other nations, maintains its embassy in Tel Aviv.

He did not say if he would order the embassy moved if he wins the White House, but strongly suggested so in a CNN interview.

“My understanding is the policy of our nation has been a desire to move our embassy ultimately to the capital (Jerusalem),” he said,

adding, “I would only want to do so and to select the timing in accordance with the government of Israel.”

His remarks on the subject during his speech drew a standing ovation from his audience, which included Sheldon Adelson, the American businessman who has said he will donate millions to help elect Romney to the White House.

Romney’s embrace of Israel was on display throughout the day when he met with Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu and other leaders. He also visited the Western Wall, Judaism’s holiest site, where he was mobbed by worshippers. In addition, Romney met with Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad.

In his remarks, Romney steered clear of overt criticism of President Barack Obama, even though he said the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran “has only become worse” in the past five years.

In an unspoken rebuttal to Obama and other critics, Romney said, “It is sometimes said that those who are the most committed to stopping the Iranian regime from security nuclear weapons are reckless and provocative and inviting war.

“The opposite is true. We are the true peacemakers,” he said.

The former Massachusetts governor also stepped back from a

comment a senior aide made a short while before the speech.

“We recognize Israel’s right to defend itself,” he told the audience.

Earlier, the aide, Dan Senor, previewed the speech for reporters, saying that “if Israel has to take action on its own, in order to stop Iran from developing the capability, the governor would respect that decision.”

Israel is the second of three stops on an international trip for Romney in the weeks before he claims the Republican nomination at his party’s national convention in Tampa, Fla. He flew to the Middle East from Britain, where he caused a stir by questioning whether officials there were fully prepared for the Olympic Games. A stop in Poland will complete his trip.

Four years ago, then-U.S. Sen. Barack Obama also visited Israel as a candidate, part of a fivenation trip meant to establish his own foreign policy credentials.

In his speech, Romney said Syrian President Bashar Assad “desperately clings to power” in Damascus in the face of an attempted overthrow, but he did not call for his removal.

He noted that Egypt is now headed by an “Islamist president, chosen in a Democratic election. …

The international community must use its considerable influ-

Patriot • CONTINUED FROM 1 lost his life while serving in Kandahar, Afghanistan, as part of Operation Enduring Freedom was escorted back to Troy from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base by the Patriot Guard Riders, a group devoted to honoring the memory of veterans, members of the armed services and first responders, while at the same protecting the fallen’s family and friends from funeral protesters.

“We never come unless we are called upon by family members,” said Patriot Guard Ohio Riders Ride Captain Mike Hamilton, a U.S. Army National Guard veteran who lives in West Chester.

“If the family calls us, we will be there.”

Hamilton said the national organization was founded in Oklahoma in 2005 by a group of 30 members who sought to disrupt groups who protest military funerals.

“If there are protesters, we’ll be there holding up American flags or revving our motorcycles up really loud so the family doesn’t have to see or hear them,” Hamilton said. The group often will form a human barrier between funeral services and protesters. In

the past seven years, Hamilton said, the group has reached all 50 states and now boasts 265,000 members nationally. In addition to disrupting funeral protesters, Hamilton said, the Patriot Guard Riders also serve as a support system for families of fallen heroes.

“We are here for the family of veterans, active duty members, police, firefighters and EMTs,” Hamilton said.

While many of the Patriot Guard Riders are veterans and drive motorcycles, Hamilton said, those aren’t requirements for those wishing to join the Patriot Guard Riders.

“Two of the biggest misconceptions are that you have to drive a Harley and that you have to be a veteran,” Hamilton said.

“Anyone can join. Anybody who wants to stand with us can sign up. We have some people who don’t have motorcycles, but they use their cars to haul flags. We’ve got people who haul water for us.

“We work very closely with the local funeral homes. We work closely with any family who wants our services.”

• CONTINUED FROM 1 accustomed to and obviously also to take care of our staff and the people who work here in the district,” Kronour said.

With the passage of the levy, owners of a $100,000 house can expect to pay $243 a year in taxes. It would take effect when residents’ tax duplicates come in early 2013.

“We do need the dollars for next year, so it would pretty much start immediately,” Kronour said.

If the levy does not pass, the school will cut a second grade teacher, which will increase class sizes for the second grade.

The school will also have to cut a high school O.W.E. teacher, which possibly could reduce graduation rates.

Other cuts include a high school guidance counselor, a high school media specialist, a custodian and six varsity assistant coaches. Communication Coordinator Sheryl Brownlee would be employed halftime as well.

The school would also cut $10,000 from

both class field trips and professional development, which would decrease the chances of teachers keeping up-to-date with the latest technology and teaching methods.

Participation fees will also increase 50 percent if the levy fails to pass, which would mean that high school programs would go from $100 to $150 for each activity, and middle school programs would go from $75 to $100.

While the board has tried to make cuts that will impact as few students as possible, Kronour said that no cut is easy.

“You could argue for any one of these programs and say they should stay in place and something else should go,” Kronour said. “That’s definitely one of the most difficult things in trying to put a plan in place.”

There will be a public meeting 7 p.m. on Aug. 2 at L.T. Ball Intermediate School to answer questions from residents and discuss the upcoming levy.

For more information, visit www.tippschoollevy.com or www.facebook.com/ voteyestippschools.

Bethel • CONTINUED FROM 1 expenses.

Bethel has been able to eliminate 10 positions, including a high school and elementary aide and a full-time athletic director to save money.

School employees have taken a pay freeze for three years, and extracurricular activities demand students to partially pay to participate.

Despite the actions and measures taken, other expenses are going up. The 2012 health care costs are expected to climb 12 percent while busing, heating and electricity costs are expected to rise.

Newmand said this is all the more reason why the district hopes the levies will pass as schools are not allowed to operate in the red.

In case the levies do not pass, the Bethel Board of Education passed resolutions at its board meeting July 9 to have the same levies up for another vote on the November ballot.

The public is invited to take a tour of the school’s campus at a “Coffee Session” from 810 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 4, in the elementary school’s cafeteria. Members of the levy committee and board of education will be present to answer any questions residents may have. For more details, visit the levy’s official website at www.bethellevy.org.

ence to insure that the new government honors the peace agreement with Israel that was signed by the government of Anwar Sadat” more than three decades ago, he said.

A goal of Romney’s overseas trip is to demonstrate his confidence on the world stage, but his stop in Israel also was designed to appeal to evangelical voters at home and to cut into Obama’s support among Jewish voters and donors. A Gallup survey of Jewish voters released Friday showed Obama with a 68-25 edge over Romney.

Romney and other Republicans have said Obama is insufficiently supportive of Israel, noting statements the president has made about settlements and his handling of evident Iranian attempt to develop nuclear weapons.

Tehran is closer to developing nuclear weapons capability than before, Romney said. “Preventing that outcome must be our highest national security priority.”

In a March speech before a proIsrael lobby in Washington, Obama warned of “loose talk of war” that serves only to drive up oil prices. “Now is not the time to bluster,” he said then. “Now is the time to let our increased pressure sink in and sustain the broad international coalition we have built.”

Miami County Recovery Council obtains National accreditation and certification For the Troy Daily News

MIAMI COUNTY

A local provider of addiction services in Miami County for 35 years, Miami County Recovery Council has become a nationally accredited program to provide mental health counseling services to local residents.

CARF International has granted MCRC a three-year accreditation, the “gold standard” for any organization seeking national status.

CARF noted that “Miami County Recovery Council’s board of directors is committed to recovery, caring in its governance role, and actively engaged in supporting and advocating for the organization’s mission throughout the community.”

Ohio Department of Mental Health has approved Miami County Recovery Council as a provider of outpatient mental health services, also awarding a three-year period of certification.

While continuing to provide the highest-quality outpatient addiction services, Miami County Recovery Council now will accept residents with Medicaid who are in need of mental health services.

Staffed with independently licensed mental health professionals, MCRC will approach this new service with the same professionalism and commitment to client care they have demonstrated since 1976 in our community.

“Our agency is excited about the ability to serve more individuals in the county who may benefit from our approach of treating each individual with the dignity and respect they deserve, consistent with our mission,” said Thom Grim, director of MCRC. “Additionally, MCRC is developing EAP services to offer local businesses, providing contractual services that can include assessment, referral, counseling and drug-testing,” he continued. “We look forward to partnering with local organizations and designing services tailored to fit the needs of any business interested in promoting wellness for their employees.”

For information on these new programs, contact Miami County Recovery Council at (937) 335-4543, Ext. 143.

The Wonderful Watermelon

History of Watermelon Watermelon is thought to have originated in the Kalahari Desert of Africa.

The first recorded watermelon harvest occurred nearly 5,000 years ago in Egypt and is depicted in Egyptian hieroglyphics on walls of their ancient buildings. Watermelons were often placed in the burial tombs of kings to nourish them in the afterlife.

From there, watermelons spread throughout countries along the Mediterranean Sea by way of merchant ships. By the 10th century, watermelon found its way to China, which is now the world's number one producer of watermelons.

The 13th century found watermelon spread through the rest of Europe via the Moors.

Southern food historian, John Egerton, believes watermelon made its way to the United States with African slaves as he states in his book, "Southern Food."

The United States currently ranks fourth in worldwide production of watermelon. Forty-four states grow watermelons with Florida, Texas, California, Georgia and Arizona consistently leading the country in production.

Types and Varieties of Watermelon About 200-300 varieties are grown in the U.S. and Mexico, although there are about 50 varieties that are very popular.

You can do an online search or contact a seed company to find out more about common and historic watermelon varieties. The modern watermelon lover sees his or her watermelon options as these five types: Seeded, Seedless, Mini, Yellow and Orange.

Fun Facts • The first recorded watermelon harvest occurred nearly 5,000 years ago in Egypt.

• Watermelon is 92% water.

• Watermelon's official name is Citrullus Lanatus of the botanical family

will grow in your stomach.

So, how are seedless watermelons grown? Chromosomes are the building blocks that give characteristics, or traits, to living things including plants and watermelons. Watermelon breeders discovered that crossing a diploid plant (bearing the standard two sets of chromosomes) with a tetraploid plant (having four sets of chromosomes) results in a fruit that produces a triploid seed. (Yes, it has three sets of chromosomes). This triploid seed is the seed that produces seedless watermelons!

In other words, a seedless watermelon is a sterile hybrid which is created by crossing male pollen for a watermelon, Where do Seedless Watermelons containing 22 chromosomes per cell, Come From?

Seedless watermelons were invented with a female watermelon flower with 44 more than 50 years ago, and they have chromosomes per cell. When this seeded fruit matures, the small, white seed few or no seeds. When we say seeds, coats inside contain 33 chromosomes, we are talking about mature seeds, the rendering it sterile and incapable of problack ones. Oftentimes, the white seed ducing seeds. This is similar to the mule, coats where a seed did not mature are produced by crossing a horse with a assumed to be seeds. But this isn’t the case! They are perfectly safe to swallow donkey. This process does not involve while eating, and don’t worry - no seeds genetic modification.

Curcurbitaceae. It is cousins to cucumbers,pumpkins and squash.

• By weight, watermelon is the mostconsumed melon in the U.S., followed by cantaloupe and honeydew.

• Early explorers used watermelons as canteens.

• The first cookbook published in the U.S. in 1776 contained a recipe for watermelon rind pickles.

• In 1990, Bill Carson of Arrington, Tenn. grew the largest watermelon at 262 pounds that is still on the record books (1998 ed. Guinness Book of World Records).

See if you can find and circle the words listed. They are hidden in the puzzle vertically, horizontally, and diagonally — some are even spelled backwards.

You can plant your watermelon seeds right from your next watermelon slice!

Supplies you will need: • Watermelon Seeds (about 10-15) • Planting pot or a sunny place outside to plant your seeds • Dirt (enough to fill the pot) • Water • Sunshine If using a planting pot, place your dirt inside planting pot. Place your seeds about 1 inch deep into the dirt.

Water immediately after planting.

Water once a week and continue to weed out (remove the weakest plants and any weeds that may grow close to your seeds. You should begin to see plants in about 10 days.

Keep in mind that to grow a watermelon takes extra special care. While you may not grow a watermelon, you should begin to grow the vine. If you do grow a watermelon, it may not taste as good as those you buy at the grocery store because watermelon growers have years of experience growing great tasting watermelons.

Sea glass is found on many beaches.

It is physically and chemically weathered by the ocean. This process produces natural frosted sea glass. Have you ever found a piece of sea glass?

he ocean is a great body of water that covers much of the Earth’s surface. The water is too salty to drink, but the ocean provides us with many other things, including food, energy, and minerals. Large ships use the ocean as a highway. And the ocean is a great place for swimming, boating, and other fun activities.

Playing in the waves is one of the most fun things to do in the ocean. Waves are caused by winds that blow across the top of the water. You can find out how waves begin with this simple experiment: 1. Fill a large bowl with water.

2. Blow across the surface.

3. Watch as ripples move over the water toward the far side of the bowl.

4. The harder and longer you blow, the higher the ripples will grow.

The world has five oceans. The two largest oceans - the Atlantic and the Pacific - border the United States.

TROY DAILY NEWS EDITORIAL

It shouldn’t take a tragedy for us to honor true heroes Army Private First Class Jeffrey Rice was a hero not because he died while serving his country, but rather because he lived to serve his country.

Rice, a 2007 Troy High School graduate, was killed July 19 in Kandahar, Afghanistan, while serving in Operation Enduring Freedom. It was his second tour of duty in the war-torn country.

When he finished his first tour of duty in December 2010, he immediately volunteered to go back to further serve his country.

To those who knew him best, that came as no surprise.

“That’s just the way he was,” his mother, Sandy Wheelock, said.

“Even when he was a little boy, all he was ever worried about was protecting me and his sisters. He wanted to protect people. That’s what he wanted to do.”

At an age when many young people still are trying to figure out their place in the world — Rice was just 24 — Rice seemingly had it all figured out. He wanted to serve his country and help make the world a better place. He wanted to help not only those living here in the United States of America, but also those suffering in a country halfway around the world.

Let that, more than anything else, be his enduring legacy.

Rice was a young man who wanted to help those around him, and for that he should be long remembered.

He is not alone in that noble goal.

Hundreds of men and women with Miami County roots currently are serving their country — both home and abroad — in all the branches of the armed forces. It should not take a tragedy such as a life being cut down far too short for us to remember the sacrifice each and every one of them have made and currently are making.

When news of Rice’s death broke, the outpouring of love and respect from the community was both inspiring and deserved. Many called on Rice’s family personally, while hundreds more lined the streets of Troy Saturday morning when Rice’s remains arrived at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and were then taken to Baird Funeral Home in Troy.

Many of those who were there to witness the procession wore red, white and blue. Dozens more waved American flags. Many bowed their heads as a sign of respect as the procession drove by. Many more were seen openly weeping for the fallen soldier and his family.

It should not take a tragedy the magnitude of Rice’s passing for all of us to remember and honor both those who have served and are serving. So many times it’s easy for all of us to get lost in the rigors of our daily lives, and we simply forget how many men and women are out there risking their lives for the very freedoms we take for granted.

It’s easy for us to remember our service men and women around holidays such as Memorial Day, Veterans Day and the Fourth of July.

Patriotic fervor reaches an all-time high around those holidays.

Unfortunately, it sometimes takes something such as the horrific loss of one of Troy’s native sons to bring it all back home again.

Here’s hoping Rice’s ultimate sacrifice serves as a solemn reminder of what can happen to our men and women in the armed forces. He lived his life so that so many of us can pay our final respects to him in whatever manner we see fit.

And for that, he was, is and always will be an American hero.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Globe and Mail, Ontario, on Taliban polio vaccine ban: The reputation of the Taliban was already wellestablished and did not require the use of child hostages to convince anyone of the extremists’ venal nature. Even so, the ban on polio vaccination in northwestern Pakistan — and the attacks on health workers who defy it — is a remarkable example of the Taliban’s inhumanity, one that not only risks the health of some 280,000 of Pakistan’s children but also hampers the world’s ability to eradicate the disease.

The Taliban say they will lift the ban once the United States agrees to stop the use of drone attacks against the extremists. That undermines

the logic of those who would excuse the Taliban their act of blackmail by suggesting it is logical fallout from the CIA’s use of a vaccination campaign as a ruse to establish the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden.

That was a reckless tactic by the CIA. It gave extremist leaders in Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas the pretext to declare that the locally run polio vaccination program is also a cover for American spies. …

The Taliban simply see the health of children — even their own children — as a weapon to be used against the U.S. Their commitment to lift the ban once there is a halt to drone strikes illustrates as much. If the Taliban truly believed the

local health workers, or the World Health Organization for that matter, were legions of U.S. spies, they would hardly be prepared to let the vaccinations resume.

The halt to polio vaccination is a terrible blow to global public health efforts. Just 25 years ago, there were a quarter of a million cases of polio in 125 countries. So far this year, there have been only 91 cases in four countries, Pakistan among them.

Who’s to say how many children will now end up stricken by a preventable virus, one that can rob them of the ability to walk, and for how many more years the virus will claim new victims, as a result of the Taliban’s crime against children.

DOONESBURY

How I got entangled in Facebook’s sticky web I like to think I’m as modern as the next guy – as long as the next guy is 100 years old and still thinks that radio is the latest innovation.

Actually, I’m not bad. When computers came along, I went with them. The Internet? Cell phones? No problem, I easily adapted to them.

In fact, I’m so confident that not long ago I decided to enter the 21st Century and get my very own Facebook account.

I resisted this idea for quite some time. First of all, I saw the movie and everyone involved with starting Facebook seemed to be the kind of people I would like to avoid. But then again, you can’t believe everything you see in a movie.

Then there was the concept of knowing what other people are doing all the time. Some people really like this idea, but not me.

I don’t want to know how many times you visited the restroom today. Then I found out you can block some of that stuff out, so it’s not a big deal.

Then there’s the privacy. I wondered if I signed up for Facebook, would the FBI and other shadowy and even more

David Lindeman Troy Daily News Columnist powerful organizations, like big corporations, be able to find out all about me? Of course, they probably can find out everything they want to know about me with or without Facebook, so who cares?

Finally, there was the chance that I would sign up and no one would want to be my friend. This was a real possibility and I don’t handle mass rejection well. It was enough to keep me out of the loop for a while.

Finally, though, I gave into pressure. My wife always was showing me things from other members of my family that apparently you can learn only on Facebook. People kept asking, “Did you see this or that on Facebook?” Well, of course not.

So I bit the Facebook bullet

and signed up. I envisioned myself as one little part of a giant spider web that encircled the entire world. I would just hang around in there and take a peek now and then to see what was going on without anyone noticing me. That is, assuming someone would want to be my friend.

I found out someone was watching when a day or two later someone asked me about a picture I had posted on Facebook.

I didn’t know I even had posted a picture. I was just fooling around seeing how pictures might work and apparently I somehow sent this particular picture out onto the whole spider web. This could be dangerous! I am very careful about pictures now.

I started getting a few friends and pretty soon lots of things starting showing up on my “wall.” In fact, lots more than I wanted to know started showing up on my wall. I learned who was streaking in Bubble Safari and who was playing Castleville, although I have no idea what those things are. One of my friends kept showing up as liking the U.S. Army. I asked him about it and he got a puzzled look on

his face. “I have no idea,” he said.

“I’ve never looked at anything about the Army.” Still, I suppose if you’re going to like someone, it’s good to have the army on your side. So I’m very careful about “liking” anything. In fact, if you look at my profile, you’ll see I like only two things in the entire world. I’m pretty selective that way.

I have to admit, though, it is handy for keeping track of old friends and family members. I’m generally too lazy to make any real effort at contacting people like that, so I can keep up with them on Facebook. And if they want to contact me, they know where they can find me.

I guess now that I am signed up, there is no turning back. It should be noted that soon after I made the plunge, Facebook went public and lost a ton of money. I wonder if that is just a coincidence? I’d like to comment about that on Facebook but, well, you know, I’m a little afraid of who might read it. I guess I’m not quite as modern as I’d like to think.

OBITUARIES

FRANCIS DON MASSIE

Early storm damage tally for Ohio reaches $29M COLUMBUS (AP) — Early reports tallying damage from last month’s storms in Ohio at $29 million have several Ohio cities anxiously hoping for federal disaster relief.

The estimated costs reported in the state from the storms total more than half of what Ohio tallied when remnants of Hurricane Ike hit Ohio in 2008, The Columbus Dispatch reported.

The storms last month caused widespread power outages, strewed significant debris, and damaged public facilities and some rural electric cooperatives.

As many as three people were killed.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency will be assessing damage to the affected counties starting Monday. Verification is expected to take up to 10 days, said Tamara McBride, a spokeswoman for the Ohio Emergency Management Agency.

It would then be up to Gov. John Kasich who asked the federal government to review damage from the June 29 storms to ask for federal relief.

Damage assessments were requested in 38 of Ohio’s 88 counties.

Money would go to communities, state agencies, cooperatives and certain nonprofits for their work providing relief, as well as to facility repairs.

Federal disaster-relief funds are likely if the total surpasses $15.5 million and communities meet other criteria, the Dispatch reported.

“This is the part that people hate the most because we just have to wait and see,” said Laura Adcock, who handles the program for the Ohio Emergency Management Agency.

Central and southeastern Ohio were hit hardest, according to the newspaper. Franklin County alone had costs for debris cleanup, police and firefighter overtime at around $5.5 million. Columbus had the largest bill in that county, with $3.8 million in storm costs.

Licking County also was hit hard and is seeking $1.6 million in recovery, while Fairfield County including the city of Lancaster and South Central Power, its utility cooperative had losses of $1.1 million.

Reimbursement, while not guaranteed, “is some-

thing that we’re really hoping for,” said John Kochis, Franklin County’s EMA director.

He said the money has already been spent by local governments that are going to have to balance their budgets at the end of the year.

“We weren’t in this financial quandary when we had Ike,” he said. “We definitely need it more now.”

The amount of damage is only one of the factors that go into the request.

Other factors include how widespread the damage was, the type of damage and how many people were affected. the Ohio While Insurance Institute has not yet released statewide figures on insured losses, spokeswoman Mary Bonelli says that anything over $25 million is considered to be of “catastrophic levels.”

“From what we’re seeing, this will be well over that,” she said.

Officials warn that the estimates probably will change as jurisdictions continue to find more damage.

This week’s FEMA assessment also might change the numbers.

Miscarriage won’t affect charges in shooting DENVER (AP) — A former prosecutor said Sunday the man accused of shooting and killing 12 people and wounding 58 others at a Colorado movie theater won’t face an additional homicide charge after one of the victims who was critically injured suffered a miscarriage.

Defense attorney Karen Steinhauser, a former prosecutor and current adjunct professor at the University of Denver, said homicide charges in Colorado only apply to those “who had been born and alive.”

“Legally, it doesn’t fit the definition” in this case, she said.

The family of Ashley Moser, who was critically wounded in the July 20 shooting in Aurora, said in a statement Saturday she HOLMES is recovering from surgery but the trauma caused the miscarriage.

Moser suffered gunshot wounds to her neck and abdomen.

Her daughter, 6-year-old Veronica Moser-Sullivan, was the youngest person killed in the attack.

James Holmes, a 24-year-old former doctoral student studying neuroscience, is accused of opening fire on the theater and is scheduled to be formally charged Monday.

Steinhauser said prosecutors could charge him with two counts of firstdegree murder for each of the 12 victims.

For each victim, there could be a count for murder and a count for “manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life,” she said. On top of that, she said, Holmes could face attempted murder charges for everyone in the theater, even those who were not injured, as well as assault and explosives charges.

Police say Holmes booby-trapped his apartment with tripwires and explosive materials.

Regardless of the charges, Moser’s miscarriage could rekindle a debate about whether to allow prosecutors to charge people with killing a pregnant woman’s baby.

Last year, El Paso County Rep. Mark Waller put forth a bill that would have created new felony charges, such as unlawful termination of a pregnancy in the first, second and third degrees. A fourthdegree charge would be a misdemeanor. The bill also would create an offense for vehicular unlawful termination of a pregnancy.

Waller’s proposal stated that it didn’t “confer the status of ‘person’” to an unborn child. It also included language saying people wouldn’t be charged in cases where a mother consents to medical care.

The Republican lawmaker said pressure from both sides of the abortion debate forced him to abandon the proposal, though he insisted the bill was about adequately prosecuting cases.

Rest-stop development proposal stalls CLEVELAND (AP) — Ohio’s plan to commercialize highway rest areas has attracted scant attention from potential developers.

Developers passed on a proposal to turn five rest stops on highways in southeast Ohio into service plazas.

Separately, just two companies responded to an Ohio Department of Transportation plan to find sponsors and advertisers for interstate rest areas.

The fact that no one responded by the deadline didn’t surprise Joseph Balog, a commercial real estate developer and member of the Ohio Turnpike Commission.

The turnpike is able to attract vendors to its service plazas because drivers are a captive, dependable source of revenue on the toll road, Balog said.

“The state of Ohio rest areas don’t have that captive audience,” Balog said.

“People could just as easily

get off at the next freeway exit, where there’s probably a Burger King or McDonald’s.”

The highway agency isn’t disappointed at this point.

“It’s part of the process,” spokesman Steve Faulkner told The Plain Dealer, referring to the lack of interest in service plaza development.

DEATHS OF NATIONAL INTEREST • Broc Cresta CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Broc Cresta, a team roper who competed in the National Finals Rodeo the last two years, was found dead Saturday in his living quarters trailer at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo, the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association said.

He was 25.

The PRCA said the cause of death wasn’t known.

Cresta, from Petaluma, Calif., was the 2007 PRCA Rookie Heeler of the Year. He teamed with header Turtle Powell in the 2010 NFR and with Spencer Mitchell last year. Cresta also teamed with Logan Olson to win the Cheyenne title in 2009.

“The whole rodeo world is in shock,” PRCA communications director Kendra Santos said. “My phone’s been ringing off the wall all day with calls from Hall of Famers on down to little kids. Broc’s a fourth-generation cowboy in California, and everybody loves him. It’s hard enough to lose a good cowboy when he’s 90, but losing such a talented and genuinely good person at 25 is just about impossible. Our hearts are with Broc’s family and friends. The entire rodeo family hurts right now.”

• Chad Foster HOUSTON — A former three-term mayor of a Texas-Mexico border town who died of cancer is being remembered as a strong leader and loving member of the Eagle Pass community.

He also was appointed by Gov. Rick Perry to the Texas Department of Transportation Border Trade Advisory Committee

and was on a livestock committee for the San Antonio Livestock Show and Rodeo.

“Chad’s career exemplified the very best of public service. As a businessman, mayor of Eagle Pass and chairman of the Texas Border Coalition, he worked tirelessly to advance education, health care, border security, transportation and workforce development programs, ensuring a brighter, more prosperous economic future for Texas-Mexico border communities and citizens,” Ramsey Cantu, the town’s current mayor and chairman of the Texas Border Coalition, said in a statement.

Foster is survived by his parents, Martha and Cozel Foster; his son, Chad Foster Jr., and his son’s wife, Jill; his daughter, Savannah; and his three sisters, Sheri Foster Blake, Sheila Foster Evans and Shelle Foster McMillan.

ST. PARIS — Francis Don Massie, 92, of St. Paris, went peacefully to be with the Lord at his home on Saturday, July 28, 2012.

He was a 1938 graduate of Westville High School, where he excelled in basketball and baseball. He married his sweetheart of 71 years, Anna Jane Springer on Oct. 26, 1941, and she survives.

He joined the U.S. Navy in 1945. After the Navy, he went to work at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and retired with 32 years of service. He also retired from the former MASSIE Richeson-Wickham and Atkins Funeral Home, St. Paris, where he worked for 25 years.

Meeting to be held on water plant study Piqua water superintendent shares concerns on water rate hike

ROYER treatment plant was mandated by the Ohio Community Media Environmental Protection broyer@dailycall.com Agency (EPA) after an PIQUA — RA evaluation by Jones and Consultants LLC will give Henry Engineers back in a special presentation on 2007.

Those options were plant with Sidney was confinalized by Piqua City sidered.

“They do primarily it, so you’ve got to pay for it, you’ve got to maintain it, water distribution infraand you’ve got to operate it structure,” Ray said of the consultants. “(They are) and staff it.” very well respected.”

Out with the old Meanwhile, Piqua The need for a resolu- moved forward with a seption to the Piqua water arate study for its own

plant.

“Piqua decided they would explore the cost of building a new plant with CDM,” Ray said. This brought Bob Yoxthimer, a consultant with CDMSmith (Camp Dresser and McKee Smith) an engineering, construction, and operations firm, on board.

Yoxthimer proposed a site plan on property that at the time was for sale north of the current plant with a projected completion date of February 2015.

As the clock ticked, commission members voted to build a new water treatment plant, a decision made with support from some, and disappointment from others, as expressed

by Troy city leaders and some area citizens.

Commission highlighted many reasons favoring a new plant, including the issue of many unknowns.

The unknowns One of the unknowns brought to light was the age of Troy’s water treatment plant.

Originally built in 1971 as an 8 MGD (million gallons per day) plant, design engineers Black and Veatch made it possible for expansion to double in size if needed. It was a potential that Troy city fathers took advantage of in the mid’90s due to projected growth under what had been a solid economy and the presence of Panasonic, which was a large water customer.

“After the expansion got started, Panasonic left town,” Ray said of what was the last Panasonic manufacturer in the country (A total of 11 similar plants had been located within the United States) to close, the loss of former television tubes that called for up to 2 MGD of water a day. “That’s a big hit,” he said.

On the heels of

“

This is the most important decision as far as water rates that will be made in the next 50 years in Miami County.

— Tim Ray

Panasonic’s departure, the economy took a downturn with the city of Troy going from what Ray explained as 6 to 7 sometimes 8 MGD down to 4 to 4.2 over the last three to four years, with some days being higher.

“We have a capacity of 16, but we’re only pumping four, we have all this extra capacity, we have to maintain it, we have to take care of it, it’s there, you can’t unbuild it,” said Ray, who saw a perfect fit between the cities of Troy and Piqua when the latter came to the conclusion of either building, remodeling or hooking into Sidney or Troy.

“Sidney doesn’t have enough water for them (Piqua),” Ray said.

Other unknowns spoken

by Piqua commission included the task of contract negotiations to share the plant, and the potential of having to replace the aging structure on down the road.

In terms of age, while 40 years old, the 1999 expansion to 16 MGD means parts of the plant are only 12 years old.

“The plant is very well maintained,” Ray said, with a 2010 Ohio EPA Sanitary Survey Evaluation Report for the water plant, stating it is in “very good condition and capable of meeting current and future regulations.”

Water safety was another issue as the EPA investigated groundwater contamination that encompasses a 25-block radius of the city of Troy.

“There was concern about what is referred to as contamination in our aquifer, because there are superfund sites that the EPA says could impact our well fields,” Ray said in what was a result of drycleaner fluid dumped in the 1940s and ’50s. The primary contaminant PCE Tetrachloroethylene along with TCE (Tricholorethylene), both man-made chemicals, were discussed in December 2011 at Troy’s Van Cleve Elementary with the EPA, the Ohio Department of

”

Health, Troy city officials, watershed groups and concerned citizens.

A separate, independent hydro-geological firm, Eagon and Associates, was acquired to assess the Troy aquifer on sustainability and contamination with a final report given by RA Consultants LLC, determining that, “Based on the review of available information, it is concluded that there is no plausible scenario whereby the aquifer becomes unusable from the standpoint of both water quality.”

Along with contamination were capacity issues, with Piqua wanting a 6.75 MGD source supply, (average demand at 3.5 MGD and maximum demand of 4.7 MGD) Troy’s historic maximum day of 5.5 MGD and their well field limit of 10.4 MGD. Exploratory test drilling was conducted at five locations on property owned by the Miami Conservancy District and agricultural property that determined three additional wells, each rated 2-3 MGD, could offer an additional 5 MGD supply.

A favorable potential, as Ray voiced concerns that should Piqua build a 6.75 MGD facility, and Troy would in turn need to make a decision to buy water or rebuild on down the road, “That plant would not even be able to supply us water, if we wanted to buy from them, so its like a pingpong affect. They build a plant, we build a plant, and the only people that get hurt are the people living here. They are the one’s that have to pay for it.”

Financial impact, teamwork, and the final analysis meeting “We worked together on the 911 center, we worked together on recycling contracts, we worked together on lots of things,” Ray said, speaking about what he sees as yet another opportunity of regional cohesion, given that regional water plants are not unusual, the cities of Tipp City and Vandalia share a 7 MGD treatment facility that was

constructed in 2005 and went online two years later.

“I understand that every community wants to have their own water plant but it’s gotten to the point where that’s an exorbitant expense,” he said.

When it comes to Tuesday’s meeting to be held at Edison Community College, Ray emphasized the importance of bringing full disclosure to the public, both Troy and Piqua, particularly when it comes to the expense. He said he is hopeful enough people will attend to convince commission to reopen discussions.

“This explains, overall, how the report was put together, the numbers came from both communities,” Ray said. “What we wanted to show, if Piqua builds a new water plant, these are their annual rate increases for the first five years.”

The full report, along with a condensed informational pamphlet shows projected annual rate impacts (does not include sewer) on a monthly household use of 7,500 gallons, with estimates of each person using 80-100 gallons of water per day.

“Will this actually happen, I don’t know?” Ray said of the projected numbers over the first five years and then projected 20 years out after completion of the new plant in 2015. “RA Consultants, and they’ll explain this at the meeting, used very, very conservative numbers. If anything, they erred on the high side, on both options.”

While admitting to biases, Ray said he feels the numbers and the meeting are important to both communities that each paid $75,000 for the joint study and that access to clean, quality, safe drinking water is available to all at the lowest possible cost.

Voicing his own concerns, and that the city of Troy does not want to appear overbearing, Ray stressed the importance and long-term ramifications of the decision. Once the journey is started there’s no turning back.

“It’s an awkward and touchy, political situation, so we need to get away from the politics and get down to the finances, because this truly impacts people and once the plant is built, you cannot unbuild it,” he said.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Do you think you are being too clingy?

Dear Annie: My husband spends too much time on the Internet and then gets upset when I say so. Several months ago, I caught him talking to a woman online, and I'm worried it's happening again. In spite of my suspicions, however, when I've checked his activity, I see nothing. (I realize he could be deleting things.)

Last night, we went out for dinner, and we weren't in the door five minutes before he was standing in the bedroom with his tablet in his hands checking his email. When I tell him I'd like him to spend more time with me instead of his computer, he gets angry. What can I do? — My Husband Doesn't Listen to Me Dear Listen to Me: Are you objecting because your husband is addicted to his computer or because you think he is using it to cheat? Our concern is that he becomes angry when you broach the subject. This defensiveness is a way to protect his behavior. If you simply want more of his attention, first determine whether you are being too clingy, and then find effective ways to distract him. However, if you simply don't trust him, that is a more serious issue, and we recommend counseling —with or without him.

Dear Annie: I used to have a lot of friends, and then I went through a major depression. I tried not to lean on them too much, but I did need to talk. I was universally abandoned. I was no longer fun. I was too frightened and depressed to go out. I couldn't listen endlessly to their problems anymore. I wanted them to listen to mine. But I was careful not to suck the life out of them. In fact, some friends never knew I was depressed.

So, here I am with 350 Facebook friends from high school, college, work and church.

Yet none of them calls. I saw these same people through multiple calamities. They will respond if I contact them, but that's it.

They are happy to like my Facebook status or comment on a photo, but no one invites me anywhere.

When I was at rock bottom, I often contemplated suicide. I sought help and got medication and counseling and am better.

I'm sure if I died, these same people would show up at my funeral and say wonderful things about me.

If anyone sees themselves in this, please check out your roster of friends and show some friendliness. I sure could use some. — Lost in the City Dear Lost: We suspect that when you went through an extended period of staying home, your friends developed the habit of enjoying themselves without you. You've made great steps in recovery, but might not be high on their list of social contacts.

And please remember that 350 Facebook "friends" do not equal one or two real-life supportive friends.

You will need to make the next several moves, inviting people to go out to dinner, a movie, an art exhibit, a fashion show, whatever appeals to you. Once they remember how much they enjoy your company, things will improve. And if these friends continue to be distant, it's time to find some new ones.

Dear Annie: I'd like to weigh in about having flowers at funerals. My mother was adamant on this subject. She always told me that if I couldn't bring her flowers when was alive, she sure didn't want them when she was dead. So my brother and I gave her flowers whenever we could.

At her funeral, we had a single red rose on her casket. It was her favorite flower. I'm sure the people attending the service thought we were being cheap, but I felt we kept to her wishes. I'm sorry about the florist's loss of income, but my mother's preferences were much more important. — Chattaroy, Wash.

SATURDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Reader ‘Sound Off’ column input on the rise Dear Readers: My Monday column has included a “sound off” or “sound on” feature for many years. It has run at the end of the column, but I think it deserves to move up to the headline. It is very popular, and it can be enlightening, too. This is your chance to complain or compliment a business, product, what people do and how they act. If it’s warranted, I’ll do research about the problem and try to explain the whys and why nots. Hope to hear from you. — Heloise SOUND OFF Dear Heloise: Why do people take their children out in

Hints from Heloise Columnist public when they are sick? I understand that sometimes it cannot be helped, but what really gets me is when parents bring them somewhere they don’t have to be.

My son and I go to a mommy-and-me class weekly, and this past week, a little girl was coughing all over the

place. She shouldn’t have been there. A sick child can spread a lot of germs in a short time. — Hayley in Pennsylvania How right you are, and adults should keep this in mind, also.

A sick co-worker can spread germs like Typhoid Mary! Can you say “hand sanitizer”? — Heloise STUDY SLATE Dear Heloise: I purchased a box of slate tiles at a yard sale, intending to use them for various craft projects. I never did.

It was quite windy yesterday, and I had to fetch my

garbage can from the neighbor’s yard twice. I remembered the tiles and put two in the bottom of the trash can and replaced the bag, and it stayed put the rest of the night.

Proud of myself, I began to wonder what other uses the tiles might have. I realized they would be perfect for holding down a tablecloth on a picnic table.

Also, because they essentially are flat stones, they are the perfect place to put hot dishes — even more so if the tablecloth is plastic or vinyl, because it won’t melt. — Kim in Pennsylvania

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Monday, July 30, the 212th day of 2012. There are 154 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 30, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a bill creating a women’s auxiliary agency in the Navy known as “Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service” WAVES for short.

On this date: • In 1619, the first representative assembly in America convened in Jamestown in the Virginia Colony.

• In 1945, the Portland class

heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine during World War II; only 316 out of some 1,200 men survived.

• In 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a measure making “In God We Trust” the national motto, replacing “E Pluribus Unum” (“Out of many, one”).

• In 1975, former Teamsters union president Jimmy Hoffa disappeared in suburban Detroit; although presumed dead, his remains have never been found.

• Today’s Birthdays: Major

Syria’s rebels hold Aleppo neighborhoods BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian tanks and artillery pounded rebel-held neighborhoods in the commercial hub of Aleppo on Sunday in a bid to retake control as President Bashar Assad’s regime accused regional powerhouses Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey of trying to destroy the country.

Activists say opposition fighters control large swathes of territory across Syria’s largest city. The government has been struggling for a week to beat back their assault and stem the tide of recent rebel advances in the civil war.

The head of the main opposition group, the Syrian National Council, called for international help in arming the rebels to face the regime’s heavy weaponry, particularly tanks.

“If the international community cannot act, they should support the opposition with anti-tanks missiles and anti-aircraft rockets,” Abdel Basset Sida told the Gulf News during a stopover in Abu Dhabi. “We seek international supporters to arm our uprising against the regime.”

Saudi Arabia and Qatar have expressed willingness to help fund the rebels and they are believed to be funneling money through Turkey to the opposition, which is using it to purchase arms and equipment.

Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem railed against interference by the region’s Sunni powers in a rare public criticism of his Middle East neighbors. He accused them of supporting the rebels at the behest of Israel.

“Israel is the mastermind of all in this crisis,” he said during a joint news

conference in Tehran with his Iranian counterpart Ali Akbar Salehi . “They (Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey) are fighting in the same front.”

Syria’s Sunni majority forms the backbone of the uprising while the regime is dominated by Assad’s minority Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.

Iran is Syria’s only remaining ally in the Middle East, standing by Damascus throughout the 17-month uprising.

Amid fears of a massacre or a bloody final battle in Aleppo, civilians have been fleeing the city in ever greater numbers.

“Life in Aleppo has become unbearable. I’m in my car and I’m leaving right now,” said a Syrian writer as he got ready to drive away.

“There’s shelling night and day, every day,” he said over the telephone on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.

He painted a dire picture of daily life in the embattled city, torn between the government forces and those of the rebels.

“Bread, gasoline and gas are being sold on the black market at very high prices,” he said. “Many things are in shortage.”

Videos uploaded onto the Internet show deserted neighborhood streets filled with rubble knocked off the multi-story apartment buildings by incoming mortar shells. Shards of broken glass also litter the streets and few windows appear to still be intact.

Since the rebel assault on Aleppo began a week ago, about 192 people have been killed, mostly civilians, according to the

League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig is 78. Blues musician Buddy Guy is 76. Movie director Peter Bogdanovich is 73. Singer Paul Anka is 71. Jazz musician David Sanborn is 67. Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is 65. Law professor Anita Hill is 56. Singer-songwriter Kate Bush is 54. Actor Laurence Fishburne is 51. Actress Lisa Kudrow is 49. Actress Vivica A. Fox is 48. Movie director Christopher Nolan (“The Dark Night”) is 42. Actress Hilary Swank is 38.

Eurogroup chair sees decisions soon in debt crisis

AP

This image made from amateur video released by the Shaam News Network and accessed Sunday, shows a Syrian military tank in Daraa, Syria. activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Some 19,000 people have died since the uprising began, the group says.

The regime strategy for now appears to be to soften the rebel positions with artillery before actually moving into the densely packed streets of the neighborhoods where their tanks be at a disadvantage.

Activists reported heavy shelling of several areas of Aleppo as well as clashes in the southwestern neighborhood of Salahhedine, which has been a rebel stronghold for the past week.

State media reported several successful operations against “terrorists,” which is how the regime describes the rebels, in Salaheddine. But activists maintained the neighborhood remained outside government control.

The rebels seem to be putting up a much more effective fight than before, occasionally succeeding in disabling or capturing the regime’s heavy, Russianmade tanks.

A video posted online by activists Sunday showed rebels riding through the town of al-Bab in Aleppo province in a captured regime battle tank.

“Rebels have completely seized control of the town of al-Bab east of Aleppo. It is the biggest town in the Aleppo countryside,” said

local activist Mohammed Saeed.

He added that another 200 fighters had entered the city Sunday to join the 1,000 fighters who had poured into the city over the past few days to repel the Syrian army’s effort to regain control.

He also said rebels have received “a new batch of weapons and ammunition,” but declined to say from where.

The battle for Aleppo, once a bastion of support for Assad’s regime, is absolutely critical in the struggle for Syria’s future.

Rebels already control large sections of the neighboring Idlib province, which borders Turkey, and if a major metropolis fell to them it could possibly create the nucleus of some kind of “liberated” territory that could receive further support from the international community much the way eastern Libya became a rebel sanctuary during the fight against Moammar Gadhafi last year.

Yet Syria’s rebels are still massively outgunned and it seems just a matter of time before Assad’s massed forces outside the city of 3 million crush them, much the way a similar rebel assault on Damascus over a week ago was quashed.

“They mobilized all their armed terrorists and tried

to capture Damascus in less than a week,” Moallem said in Iran. “They were defeated. Today, they’ve gone to Aleppo and definitely they will be defeated in Aleppo.”

Iran has provided Assad’s government with military and political backing for years, and has kept up its strong support for the regime since the uprising began in March 2011.

The rest of the Arab world, however, has turned against Syria and on Sunday, the Arab League once against condemned Damascus.

The group’s secretary general, Nabil Elaraby, told reporters that the regime’s Aleppo offensive “amounts to war crimes” and that those behind it will eventually be brought to justice.

Speaking at the League’s headquarters in the Egyptian capital of Cairo, he said the pan-Arab organization supported calls by Syrian opposition groups for an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council on the regime’s assault on Aleppo.

The violence has sent refugees flooding into countries bordering Syria including Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Lebanon.

Jordan said it had opened its first tent camp for Syrians, saying a surge of refugees forced it to do so.

BERLIN (AP) — The German and Italian leaders issued a new pledge to protect the eurozone, while the influential eurogroup chairman was quoted Sunday as saying that officials have no time to lose and will decide in the coming days what measures to take.

The weekend comments capped a string of assurances from European leaders that they will do everything they can to save the 17-nation euro. They came before markets open for a week in which close attention will be focused on Thursday’s monthly meeting of the European Central Bank’s policy-setting governing council.

Last Thursday, ECB President Mario Draghi said the bank would do “whatever it takes” to preserve the euro and markets surged on hopes of action.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Italian Premier Mario Monti “agreed that Germany and Italy will do everything to protect the eurozone” in a phone conversation Saturday, German government spokesman Georg Streiter said, a statement that was echoed by Monti’s office. That was nearly identical to a statement issued Friday by Merkel and French President Francois Hollande, which followed Draghi’s comments.

Though they didn’t pledge any specific action, the comments raised expectations that the ECB might step in to buy Spanish and perhaps Italian government bonds to lower the countries’ borrowing costs, which have been worryingly high in recent weeks. Another possibility might be for the eurozone’s temporary rescue fund, the European Financial Stability Facility, to buy bonds.

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees).

The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount.

While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks.

Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

Johnson wins in Indy INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Jimmie Johnson stamped another exclamation point on his racing resume, winning his fourth career Brickyard 400 with a dominant drive at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday.

With the victory, Johnson joined Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon as the only NASCAR drivers to win four times at the historic 2.5mile track, which has hosted stock car racing since 1994.

“Four wins? I’m at a loss for words,” Johnson said in victory lane.

15 July 30, 2012

Kyle Busch finished second, followed by Greg Biffle, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Gordon.

Polesitter Denny Hamlin was sixth.

It was a rough day for Matt Kenseth, who came into Sunday’s race with the Sprint Cup Series points lead but was taken out of the race in a late collision with Joey Logano.

Johnson also won the Brickyard in 2006, 2008 and 2009.

SPORTS CALENDAR

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Cleveland Indians are falling behind.

After watching the Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers make significant trades this week, the Indians saw their deficit in the American League Central race reach a season high.

Justin Morneau hit a two-run homer, Brian Duensing threw six smooth innings as a late fill-in for Francisco Liriano and the Minnesota Twins finished a three-game sweep of the Indians with a 5-1 victory on Sunday.

“I’d be lying if I told you this doesn’t deflate you a little bit,” said left fielder Shelley Duncan.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Mat Latos turns to throw out Colorado Rockies’ Michael Cuddyer in the sixth inning of the Reds’ 7-2 victory in Denver on Sunday.

Reds keep rolling Cincinnati on 10-game winning streak DENVER (AP) — Mat Latos felt the weight of the Cincinnati Reds’ winning streak when he took the mound.

After getting roughed up by the first two batters he faced on Sunday, the big right-hander settled down and kept Cincinnati rolling.

Latos pitched eight strong innings, and Drew Stubbs homered to lift Cincinnati over the Colorado Rockies 7-2 and give the Reds their 10th straight win — their longest streak in 14 years.

The Reds also won 10 straight in 1998, and now they are two wins away from tying the franchise mark that has

with purchase of $25.00 or more

been done twice — most recently in 1957.

Cincinnati opened a threegame lead over Pittsburgh in NL Central, its biggest edge since mid-June.

“They’re not going to go away, that’s fairly obviously at this point,” outfielder Jay Bruce said of the Pirates. “We have some series left with them, but anytime you can gain a game it’s great.”

Bruce also homered and Stubbs drove in three runs.

Ryan Hanigan and Zack Cozart had two hits each for the Reds, who have won 17 of 19.

The Reds have swept four of five series since the All-Star

break and they are a seasonbest 21 games above .500 (6140). They have won nine straight road games, including all six on this just-completed trip.

“I’m always talking a perfect road trip and we finally had one,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said.

Latos (9-3) didn’t want to be the one to stop the Reds’ momentum, and he rose to the challenge. He allowed four hits and struck out eight.

NASCAR ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 among some legendary names in the historic track’s record books.

Gordon is the only other four-time Brickyard 400 winner. Only three drivers have won four Indianapolis 500s: A.J. Foyt, Al Unser Sr. and Rick Mears; Mears was one of Johnson’s racing heroes growing up.

Formula One ace Michael Schumacher won the U.S. Grand Prix five times on Indy’s road course configuration.

But Johnson’s big moment was seen by another disappointing

crowd at what still is considered one of the Sprint Cup Series’ most prestigious races.

After drawing huge crowds for more than a decade after the first NASCAR race at Indianapolis in 1994, attendance has been sagging in recent years. The frontstretch stands were fairly full but there were sparse crowds in the turns.

Jeff Burton’s flat tire brought out a caution with 36 laps to go, giving the leaders an opportunity to make their final pit stops.

Johnson, Brad

Keselowski, Gordon and Busch all took four tires on their stops but Biffle only took two tires, allowing him to come out of the pits first.

The race restarted with 31 laps to go, with Biffle taking the lead and Johnson fighting off Busch to hold on to second.

Biffle’s lead didn’t last long, as Johnson went around him on the front stretch with 29 laps to go.

Joey Logano then spun and collected Kenseth, leaving his car banged-up and smoldering. Kenseth was OK but his points lead was gone.

“Everybody was just running everybody in the back, and you could see it was just a matter of time before the wreck happened,” Kenseth said.

Johnson got a flawless restart when the race went back to green with 20 laps to go, then pulled away from Busch in the closing laps of the race.

Keselowski was going for a weekend sweep after winning the Nationwide Series race at Indianapolis on Saturday. And for a while, it looked like he might pull it off.

Keselowski and the No.

2 team experimented with a different pit stop strategy than the rest of the leaders, attempting to set up the possibility of stretching their fuel mileage at the end of the race.

Keselowski pitted on lap 91, while the rest of the leaders pitted under caution four laps later.

But Keselowski’s car got loose after the race restarted on lap 101, and he slid back to seventh a significant setback, given how hard it is to pass at Indianapolis.

It was a rough day for Carl Edwards, whose

engine began losing power only a handful of laps into the race.

In his first race with new crew chief Chad Norris, Edwards qualified second and went into Sunday hopeful that it was a good omen for turning around what has been a fairly disappointing season.

Edwards was running third in the early stages of the race, but began dropping in the field after mechanical problems hit.

He had to make a lengthy pit stop, losing two laps to the leaders.

Not playing favorites

Reds

Browns ‘D’ abuses both quarterbacks BEREA (AP) — Browns defenders are playing no favorites in Cleveland’s quarterback competition.

They’ll gladly pick off passes from any of them.

Rookie Brandon Weeden and incumbent Colt McCoy both threw ugly interceptions Sunday as coach Pat Shurmur presented a daunting task: See what you can do in a 7on-7 drill in third-and-long sets, pitted against a Browns’ pass defense ranked second in the NFL a year ago.

Veteran defensive back Sheldon Brown had no pity on the passers.

“We’re going for the football no matter who you are,” he said. “That’s one of our goals this year. Stop a team, take the ball from them and give our offense good field position.”

Shurmur had a good idea who was going to win the stacked-deck test and wasn’t too critical of his passers.

“These are challengeable throws,” he said. “It’s tight (coverage). You saw them seeing what they can get away with. You can’t just look at raw plays; you take that (into account).”

Shurmur enjoyed seeing the defense swell with pride after each big play, though.

“My favorite day of the year, other than game day of course, is the first day of pads, and I wasn’t disappointed,” he said. “I thought there was good banging out there.”

Weeden enjoyed the challenge, yet acknowledged forcing some throws that in a game he would have dumped off to running back Trent Richardson instead of going for broke.

“I made some mistakes I usually don’t make,” Weeden said. “That comes from getting used to the guys. Like coach said … you know something is wrong when you make the same mistake more than once.”

Weeden thought a good throw got picked by second-year safety Eric Hagg, battling for a starting spot.

“Hagg made a great

AP PHOTO

Cleveland Browns linebacker Ben Jacobs, left, stops running back Brandon Jackson during training camp Sunday in Berea play,” he said. “It really was the right read, he just made a heck of a play. But what can you do? You move on to the next play.”

Shurmur praised Hagg for out-battling veteran Mohamed Massaquoi on the play down the left side.

“He has impressed us,” Shurmur said. “As a safety, you have got to support the run, play whichever side of the field is your assignment, or play the middle of the field.

“He communicates well.

For all those reasons, he’s caught our eye.”

Hagg wasn’t sure he did all that on the interception.

“I just reacted,” he said.

“I just saw something and went after it. That’s what we, as a unit, want to do more.”

Despite their success against the pass a year ago, the Browns had just nine interceptions and were one of only five teams not to reach double figures.

They were 30th against the run, contributing mightily

to their 4-12 record.

“The first thing that is most obvious (to improve) is to stop the run,” linebacker Scott Fujita said.

“The best way to win games is to create turnovers.”

Fujita probably won’t play the first three games unless he wins an appeal to overturn a leagueordered suspension from the bounty scandal when he was with the New Orleans Saints. Defensive lineman Phil Taylor, the Browns’ No. 1 pick in 2011, will miss the first half of the season with a torn biceps.

Shurmur is working to fill the void.

“I thought our young defensive tackles battled in there pretty well,” he said.

“I’ve got a couple young linebackers that caught my eye, so that was good.”

Linebacker D’Qwell Jackson said it is time Cleveland’s defense mimics the in-your-face swagger of AFC North rivals Pittsburgh and Baltimore.

“Nobody pays attention to us,” Jackson said. “OK, fine. We’re going to play with a chip on our shoulders. That’s the attitude we have. Not to prove ourselves to anybody, but to win.

“I’ve been here and saw us get kicked around. I didn’t like it. We’re a better team. Now it’s our time to go show it.”

NOTES: RB Trent Richardson, the No. 3 overall pick, said he loved the first day of hard hitting. “If you don’t love contact, you’re in the wrong sport,” the former Alabama star said. “It felt good.” …

Shurmur said WR Josh Cribbs’ role has not changed. “He’s a special teams player that plays receiver,” Shurmur said after Cribbs didn’t get many looks in passing downs. … The announced crowd of 4,200 was the largest since the team began recording practice attendance in 2005. The previous best was 3,673 in the first session of 2010.

Pierce won while sitting in the clubhouse. Moments earlier, he two-putted for par from 50 feet on the 18th to finish on 17-under 263 and tie the oldest 72hole scoring record on the PGA Tour. Johnny Palmer had a 263 when he won the Canadian Open in 1952 at St. Charles in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

It was the second time Piercy has won on the PGA Tour in the last year. He picked up his first win at the Reno-Tahoe Open last year, which is held next week for players who don’t get into the Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone.

Now, Piercy is headed to his first World Golf

Championship, and then off to the PGA Championship. More perks arrive next year when Piercy goes to Augusta National for the first time to play in the Masters.

In what amounted to a three-man race on a warm, sunny day at Hamilton, Piercy looked as if he took himself out of the hunt when he ran into trouble off the tee at the 14th, had to play out of the trees and make a 6-foot putt to escape with bogey. But he chipped in for birdie on the 15th, and then hung on for pars.

• Senior British Open TURNBERRY, Scotland

— Fred Couples won the Senior British Open, birdieing the final two holes for a two-stroke victory over Gary Hallberg on Turnberry’s Ailsa Course.

Couples, making his first start in the event, closed with a 3-under 67 for a 9-under 271 total.

Hallberg finished with a 66.

The 52-year-old Couples won the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic in March and has eight Champions Tour titles. He won 15 times on the PGA Tour, including the 1992 Masters.

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 them,” Latos said. “Today it was in the back of my mind, but it’s baseball.

Just play.”

Things didn’t start well.

Latos walked Dexter Fowler on five pitches, and Josh Rutledge homered on the first pitch he saw from Latos to give the Rockies a 2-1 lead.

“It was a fastball away. It looked like I beat him but he got it up in the air and into a bad part of the ballpark where it flies out,” Latos said.

It was the only bright spot for Colorado, which has lost three straight and nine of 11.

“Josh jumped on that first pitch fastball in the bottom of the first inning after Dexter drew a walk, and then that was it,” Rockies manager Jim Tracy said.

The Reds took a 3-2 lead into the fifth, then broke it open against Jonathan Sanchez (0-2).

Cozart led off with a single, and Stubbs hit his 12th home run.

One out later, Bruce hit his 20th homer into the second deck in right to make it 6-2 and chase Sanchez.

Sanchez, acquired from Kansas City for Jeremy Guthrie on July

20, didn’t fare much better than the pitcher he replaced. In his home debut, Sanchez allowed six runs and eight hits, struck out three and walked two. He has failed to pitch at least five innings in either of his starts for Colorado.

“I got hit a lot,” he said. “I was throwing strikes and they were swinging the bats.”

Miguel Cairo added an RBI single in the eighth off Mike Ekstrom to make it 7-2.

Cincinnati took the lead with carbon-copy plays in consecutive innings. In the second, Chris Heisey led off with a triple and scored on Cairo’s sacrifice fly.

Cozart followed with a leadoff triple in the third and came home on Stubbs’ sacrifice fly to give the Reds a 3-2 lead.

“The bats have picked up the past couple of days,” Bruce said. “We’ve been doing what we need to do. Whether it’s the long ball, base hits, sac flies, we’ve been playing really good baseball.”

The Reds struck first when Brandon Phillips’ single scored Stubbs from second base in the first.

The Rockies answered in the bottom half when Rutledge homered.

■ Major League Baseball

Indians ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 “It’s one of those things where this time of year you start to scoreboard watch a little bit. After the game you check and see how other teams did.”

Ubaldo Jimenez (8-10) worked into the seventh and struck out six, but the Indians (50-52) lost for the eighth time in their last 11 games. They were a season-high 5 1/2 games out of first place in the division when the game began, behind the White Sox. They haven’t been two games under .500 since mid-April.

“Teams that do have those good little stretches in August and September are the ones that aren’t worrying about what the other teams are doing,” Duncan said. “That’s something we need to put our focus on.”

Duensing (2-6) found

out late the night before of this assignment, after the Twins finalized their trade of Liriano to the White Sox for a pair of prospects. The left-hander lost all four of his previous starts this year, but he needed only 70 pitches to finish six frames and yield to the bullpen after scattering five singles without a walk, giving up one run and striking out two.

Ben Revere had two hits, two steals and two RBIs for the Twins, who outscored the Indians 28-6 in the series. The Indians had only one extra-base hit and batted .140 in the three games.

“In order for our lineup to survive offensively you need to have at least six guys surviving, doing something at the plate,” manager Manny Acta said.

“That’s not the case, so we have to get in gear.”

■ Golf

Golf ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 ran a 45-foot putt some 15 feet by the hole. Tied for the lead playing the 18th, he put his approach into the bunker and blasted out to 18 feet, missing the par putt that would have forced a playoff. McGirt closed with a 69.

Garrigus, the 54-hole leader, missed six putts inside 8 feet. The last one was the most costly. He three-putted from long range just off the green on the 16th, missing an 8footer for par that left him one shot behind. He missed a 15-foot birdie putt on the 18th to force a playoff and had to settle for a 70.

Inbee Park won the Evian Masters, closing with a 6under 66 for a two-stroke victory over third-round leader Stacy Lewis and Karrie Webb.

Park, also the 2008 U.S. Women’s Open winner, had a 17-under 271 total.

Webb shot a 68, and Lewis finished with a 68.

China’s Shanshan Feng eagled the 18th for a 66 to tie for fourth at 14 under with 17-year-old South Korean amateur Hyo Joo Kim (68) and Natalie Gulbis (68).

• Nationwide Children’s Hospital Invitational COLUMBUS — Ben Kohles won the Web.com

Tour’s Nationwide Children’s Hospital Invitational in his first professional start, beating Luke Guthrie with a birdie on the first hole of a playoff.

Kohles closed with a 1under 70 to match Guthrie at 12-under 272 on Ohio State’s Scarlet Course.

Guthrie birdied three of the final five holes in regulation for a 66.

One of 12 college AllAmericans invited to the event, Kohles turned pro after finishing his amateur career last week in the Porter Cup. The 22-yearold former University of Virginia player earned $144,000.

U.S. atop standings, but Wieber fails to qualify LONDON (AP) — The U.S. women are atop the Olympic gymnastics standings, as expected, with little standing in their way — except themselves.

More than the Russians, Romanians and Chinese, the biggest challenge for the gold medal may come from how they deal with world champion Jordyn Wieber’s failure to qualify for the all-around final Sunday. She was bumped by her best friend on the very last routine.

“I’m definitely worried,” national team coordinator Martha Karolyi said. “You try to find words … what do you say? But the fact is the fact. She did her best. She was edged by her teammates.”

A heavy favorite for gymnastics’ biggest prize — and the attention and riches that go with it — Wieber lost her chance with a series of uncharacteristic mistakes.

She wound up with the fourth-best individual score in qualifying, but countries are limited to two gym-

nasts in the all-around and event finals and pal Aly Raisman and Gabby Douglas were ahead of her.

Russia’s Viktoria Komova, who was runner-up to Wieber at last year’s world championships, is ahead of all three Americans.

The 17-year-old Wieber was sobbing as she made her way through the mixed zone, so distraught she couldn’t speak to reporters. Later on Twitter, she thanked fans for “all your love and support.”

It could be a historic competition for the Americans, who breezed to the top of qualifying with a score of 181.863 points and then waited to see if Russia, Romania or defending Olympic champion China could match it.

No one came close. Russia, runner-up to the U.S. at last year’s world championships, was 1.4 points back (180.429) while China (176.637) and European champion Romania (176.264) were well behind.

United States' Kevin Durant (5), Chris Paul (13) and Kobe Bryant (10) react during the first half of a preliminary men’s basketball game against France at the 2012 Summer Olympics Sunday in London. The U.S. men beat France 98-71.

Winning ugly U.S. routs France 98-71 despite sloppy moments LONDON (AP) — The hiccups outnumbered the highlights, and for a while the U.S. racked up fouls faster than points.

The opener wasn’t artistic.

However, it was enough — easily enough.

Kevin Durant scored 22 points in his Olympic debut, Kevin Love added 14 and LeBron James had eight assists as the American men’s basketball team overcame some sloppy moments with a 98-71 win Sunday over France.

“We know everybody else expects us to win by 40 points,” said Carmelo Anthony. “For us, a win’s a win. We expect every game to be like this one.”

Seeking a second straight gold medal to match the redemptive one they captured in Beijing four years ago, the Americans expected a tough test from a French team featuring San Antonio guard Tony Parker and five other NBA players.

And although the U.S. was never in real trouble — it only led 22-21 after one quarter — there were enough flaws (14 turnovers, 26 fouls) to keep coach Mike Krzyzewski and his staff busy and this superstar-laden squad from feeling too comfortable.

“It wasn’t perfect,” said James, who only took six shots while set-

ting up his teammates. “We’ve still got room for improvement. We had too many turnovers, too many fouls and we had a couple of defensive rebounds we could have come up with. But overall, we played a pretty good game for as close to 40 minutes as possible.”

Kobe Bryant had said this team could beat the 1992 Dream Team that changed international hoops forever at the Barcelona Games.

That matchup is mythical, but the London Games aren’t and this U.S. team will have to play much better in upcoming games if it plans to maintain American dominance.

“We know we have to keep going for 40 minutes and play hard,” said Bryant, who only played 12 minutes.

Afterward, Parker, who nearly missed these games after undergoing surgery for a freak eye injury, didn’t want to concede anything to the Americans. But when asked if the U.S. team can be beat, he took a contemplative pause before responding.

“They’re going to be very, very tough to beat,” Parker said.

At times, the Americans’ offense was erratic. The U.S missed its first six 3-pointers and settled too quickly for jump shots instead of driving to the basket. But France

wasn’t able to capitalize as the U.S. turned up its pressure on defense and forced 18 turnovers.

With first lady Michelle Obama on hand to cheer on the U.S., Durant, Anthony and Tyson Chandler added nine rebounds apiece for the Americans, who will next play Tuesday against Tunisia, beaten 60-56 by Nigeria in the tournament opener.

As they left the floor, the U.S. players stopped to hug Mrs. Obama, who can report back to her commander in chief husband that his favorite team has taken its first step toward gold.

Parker, playing with goggles to protect a surgically repaired left eye, scored 10 points but France fell to 0-5 in Olympic competition against the USA. Ali Traore scored 12 points to lead France, which got few uncontested looks from the outside and missed 20 of 22 3-pointers.

“They pressured us from the start until the end,” said France coach Vincent Collet.

With the U.S. leading 52-36 at halftime, Durant opened the second half with a 3-pointer, Bryant dropped one from long range and after James dunked an alley-oop pass from Deron Williams, the Americans led 64-43.

Au revoir, France.

LONDON (AP) — So much for all those dire predictions of records set during the high-tech bodysuit era standing for decades.

They’re falling quickly at the Olympic Aquatics Centre in London.

American Dana Vollmer took down another record in the 100-meter butterfly Sunday night, then Cameron van der Burgh of South Africa beat another in the 100 breaststroke denying Japan’s Kosuke Kitajima an Olympic threepeat.

Not even through the second night of the London Games, three world records had already been set.

And they’re just getting warmed up.

Camille Muffat of France also won gold in a riveting 400 freestyle duel with American Allison Schmitt, the two virtually stroke for stroke the entire way. Muffat held on to win by about half a stroke with an Olympic-record time, while Schmitt settled for silver. Britain’s Rebecca Adlington brought out the biggest cheer when she touched third the home country’s first swimming medal of the games.

On a night expected to feature a relay duel between the Australians and the Americans, Vollmer got things started with a bang. She was third at the turn but powered to the wall for a time of 55.98 seconds, beating the record of 56.06 set by Sweden’s Sarah Sjostrom at the 2009 world championships.

Not bad for someone who didn’t even qualify for the last Olympics.

LONDON (AP) — Step aside, Carl Lewis.

You, too, Jackie JoynerKersee and Al Oerter.

Meet Kimberly Rhode, the first American with individual medals in five straight Olympics, after a golden, record-setting, nearly perfect performance.

Rhode won the women’s skeet shooting Sunday, tying a world record and setting the Olympic mark with 99 points — meaning she missed once in 100 shots.

She was eight targets better than silver medalist Wei Ning of China and nine better than Slovakia’s Danka Bartekova, who topped Russia’s Marina Belikova in a shootout for the bronze.

Rhode won in double trap at Atlanta as a teenager in 1996, took bronze in that event four years later at Sydney, re-claimed the gold at Athens in 2004 and won the silver in skeet at Beijing in 2008.

Now, golden again.

“It’s just been an incredible journey,” said Rhode, strands of glitter intertwined with her blonde hair.

“And ultimately, I couldn’t be happier for bringing home the gold for the United States.”

Lewis, Oerter, JoynerKersee and Bruce Baumgartner are the other Americans recognized as individual medal-winners in four straight Summer Olympics. Rhode’s at five now, and at 33 years old, she’s not planning to stop anytime soon.

“I would like to learn from her,” said Wei, the silver medalist, looking at Rhode and smiling.

Rhode becomes the eighth U.S. woman with at least five individual Olympic medals — speedskater Bonnie Blair and JoynerKersee each have six, while Shirley Babashoff, Janet Evans, Shannon Miller, Amanda Beard and Natalie Coughlin also have five.

Pretty good company, by any measure.
