TC to not field varsity squad TROY — Troy Christian High School will not field a varsity football team this fall due to a lack of upperclassmen players.

The Eagles will play a junior varsity schedule in 2012, with plans to field a varsity team again in 2013.

Troy Christian has fielded a varsity program for the past 10 years. See Page 14.

Odd colors in the catch PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — When a 100-pound shipment of lobsters arrived at Bill Sarro’s seafood shop and restaurant last month, it contained a surprise six orange crustaceans that have been said to be a 1-in10-million oddity.

Reports of odd-colored lobsters used to be rare in the lobster fishing grounds of New England and Atlantic Canada.

Normal lobsters are a mottled greenish-brown. See Page 10.

before the quiz and told me he was guaranteeing a 100 percent,” Owen said. “I asked him what if he didn’t get a 100? He was still sporting his mohawk from the Troy vs. Piqua football game. I asked if he was willing to risk his trophy from that gridiron battle. He agreed that Mrs. Slusher, my co-teacher, could shave his mohawk off in class if he didn’t get a 100. His mom sent in a note giving her blessing.

“Quiz day arrived and a confident Jeff strolled into my room and started on his quiz. He handed it in and said he was pretty sure he nailed it. Let’s just say he passed, but it wasn’t the 100 percent he promised. The next day he brought in clippers and Mrs. Slusher shaved off his curly mohawk. He let me take pictures and they were on my class website for years, until we got a new school website last

year. I may still have a few on my computer at school.”

Owen said he has a special place in his heart for all Troy graduates who go on to serve in the armed forces — and won’t soon forget Rice’s contributions to his country.

“It always fills me with great pride when a former student stops in to visit, especially when they are in uniform,” Owen said.

“They seem to walk a little taller and smile a little broader. It’s like the visit to Troy and seeing their friends and the memories that THS represents reaffirms their service. Those handshakes and hugs are special. Jeff was brought up every year in one of my classes when a student predicts a 100 percent — he will continue to come up when that happens, but I will have a lump in my throat. Thank you to all my students who are serving or who have served.”

Funeral services for Rice were pending as of press time.

The Troy Development Council has been working to execute four goals in its “Partners in Progress” initiative: retention expansion, business attraction, workforce development and communication strategy.

TDC President J.C. Wallace provided an update on the organization’s activities at Troy City Council last week.

Council unanimously agreed last year to give $125,000 annually to the TDC for five years, subject to council’s annual review.

Troy Rec and Troy Cable Access Television (Channel 5) also have provided annual funding to the public/private economic development organization.

Through conversations with business leaders in Troy, Wallace has been studying trends in the local economy. The manufacturing sector in particular is seeking to hire more people — such as computer numerically controlled (CNC) operators and welders — but is facing a lack of qualified workers.

“It’s very encouraging, but could bring a new set of challenges,” Wallace said of the findings during council.

In an interview later in the week, Wallace added, “I think we need to do a better job of informing people about careers in manufacturing ... They are not aware of the jobs out there, and employers need people who are fairly skilled in manufacturing, while some are just entry level.”

AURORA, Colo. (AP) — Shooting suspect James Holmes applied to join a Colorado gun range last month but never became a member because of his behavior and a “bizarre” message on his voice mail greeting, the range’s owner said Sunday.

Holmes, 24, emailed an application to join the Lead Valley Range in Byers on June 25 in which he said he was not a user of illegal drugs or a convicted felon, said owner Glenn Rotkovich.

But when Rotkovich called to invite him to a mandatory orientation the following week, he said he heard Holmes’ voice mail greeting that was “bizarre guttural, freakish at best.”

It identified the number

as belonging to “James,” so Rotkovich said he left a message.

He left two other messages but eventually told his staff to watch out for Holmes at the July 1 orientation and not to accept him into the club, Rotkovich said. His comments were first reported

by Fox News.

“There’s something weird here,” Rotkovich said he concluded.

Holmes is being held without bond on suspicion of multiple counts of firstdegree murder after a shooting rampage minutes into a premiere of “The Dark Knight Rises” early Friday that left 12 people dead and 58 wounded. He is scheduled for an initial hearing Monday and has

been assigned a public defender.

The gunman’s semiautomatic assault rifle jammed during the attack at the Aurora movie theater, forcing him to switch to another gun with less firepower, a federal law enforcement official told The Associated Press. That malfunction and weapons switch during the shooting rampage might have saved some lives.

As the investigation into the massacre continued Sunday, the University of Colorado said it was looking into whether Holmes used his position as a graduate student to order materials in the potentially deadly booby traps that police said they found in his apartment.

University officials would not say if he passed, citing privacy concerns.

The university said Holmes gave no reason for his withdrawal, a decision he made in June.

Individuals who commit acts of mass violence often have suffered some kind of loss and aren’t able to bounce back from it, said Barry Spodak, a behavioral threat assessment consultant who has worked with the Secret Service and the U.S.

Marshals Service.

“Individuals who carry out acts like this of mass violence tend to perceive themselves to have suffered significant losses or failures and the people around them have generally been worried about their ability to deal with it,” Spodak said.

Spodak has not spoken with Holmes or been involved in the investigation. FBI behavioral analysts from Quantico, Va., were assisting in the investigation, FBI

spokesman Dave Joly said Sunday.

Holmes was not allowed access from the institution after his withdrawal, which was “standard operating procedure” because he was no longer affiliated with the school, Montgomery said. Holmes had no contact with university police, she said.

In a resume posted on Monster.com, Holmes listed himself as an “aspiring scientist” and said he was looking for a job as a laboratory technician.

The TDC has been developing a similar survey as well.

“We have a lot of world-

class industries working in Troy, and I see a real resurgence with Honda and the manufacturing sector becoming much more competitive with the Chinese and others internationally,” he said.

Ohio has also benefited from tax policies, specifically the Commercial Activity Tax, that encourage investments.

“It’s really good for small businesses because they don’t pay the tax until income is $150,000,” he said.

Overall, Wallace said Troy is fortunate for being “a community that really works hard at being competitive with businesses.”

The suspect was described as a budding scientist, brimming with potential, who pursued a graduate program even as he planned the attack with “calculation and deliberation,” police said.

Holmes’ apartment was booby trapped with jars of liquids, explosives and chemicals that could have killed “whoever entered it,” Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said, noting it would have likely been one BUSINESS of his officers.

Survivor thought ‘This will be the end of my life’ AURORA, Colo. (AP) — Stephen Barton was bloodied from gunshot wounds as he staggered away from the hellish chaos inside a Colorado movie theater, but he didn’t realize how badly he was hurt until he saw shock reflected in the faces of people who looked at him.

“I remember people looking at me and their eyes just widening because I was covered in blood,” Barton, 22, said Sunday from his hospital room at the Medical Center of Aurora. “Then I realized how bad I must have looked and how serious it was.”

Barton and two friends were watching the midnight premiere of “Dark Knight Rises” in Aurora on Friday when a gunman unleashed two canisters of gas and opened fire, killing 12 and injuring 58.

Barton and a friend, Ethan Rodriguez-Torrent, both from Southbury, Conn., were six weeks into a cross-country bicycling trip when they

Barton said.

He saw people bolting for a door, and he ran with them, out of the theater, through the lobby and into the parking lot, where he was rushed to the hospital.

R o d r i g u e z - To r r e n t escaped unhurt. Their friend has a brain injury from a gunshot in her face, but doctors are optimistic about her recovery, Barton said.

They declined to identify her by name.

Barton and RodriguezTorrent might finish their ride to San Francisco next year, leaving from the Aurora movie theater and using the ride to raise money for other victims and their families.

Barton said he will gladly carry the scars from his wounds as a reminder of how precious life is.

“You always think that these tragedies can’t happen to you, until you find yourself laying on a movie theater floor covered in blood,” he said.

pulled into Aurora on Thursday afternoon. They arranged to spend the night at the home of another of RodriguezTorrent’s friends, and they all went to the movie.

Like nearly everyone else in the darkened theater, Barton at first thought the smoke and popping noises that erupted were part of a stunt.

Then he was hit by gunfire, first in the neck and then his left forearm.

“I never even saw the shooter. He was in black, his gun flashing in front of him,” Barton said. “To me, he was and is an inhuman object that I don’t associate with as a human being.”

Barton tumbled to the floor, trying to stanch his bleeding neck wound and listening to the methodical gunfire.

Eventually the firing stopped and the victims’ screams filled the air. “I just thought this was the end for me, this will be the end of my life,”

Congregations across Colorado prayed for the shooting victims and their relatives. Churches sent out social-media appeals for neighbors who wanted to join in remembrance.

Elderly churchgoers at an aging Presbyterian church within walking distance near Holmes’ apartment joined in prayer, though none had ever met him.

Among the dead was a 6-year-old girl and a man who died on his 27th birthday and a day before his wedding anniversary.

Families grieved and waited at hospitals, which reported at least seven people still in critical condition as of Sunday.

While authorities continued to refuse to discuss a possible motive for one of the deadliest mass shootings in recent U.S. history, details about Holmes’ background as a student and would-be scientist trickled out.

He had recently withdrawn from the competitive graduate program in neuroscience at the University of Colorado Denver, where he was one of six pre-thesis Ph.D. students at its Neuroscience Program to be funded by a prestigious grant from the National Institutes of Health. The program of 35 students is dedicated to training outstanding neuroscientists and academicians who will make significant contributions to neurobiology, the university said in a statement.

In the first year of the five- to seven-year program, students take classes and complete three, three-month research rotations in the labs of different professors.

Professors who worked with him either did not return calls or declined to comment, saying police and university officials had told them not to speak to the media.

At one point in the year, Holmes was engaged in research about RNA and was to present a paper May 8 about RNA Biomarkers, according to a class schedule. It was unclear if he presented the paper.

Holmes recently took an intense, three-part oral exam that marks the end of the first year. Those who do well continue with their studies and shift to fulltime research, while those who don’t do well meet with advisers and discuss their options, including

The Olympic Games

2012 Summer Olympics in London, England The 2012 Summer Olympics are in London, England, Great Britain. The opening ceremonies will be on July 27, 2012. The closing ceremony will be on August 12, 2012.

The motto of the London Olympics is 'Inspire a generation'.

The Ancient Olympics: The ancient Greeks dedicated the Olympic Games to the god Zeus. The original games were held on the plain of Olympia in Peloponnesos, Greece.

The Greeks held the first Olympic games in the year 776 BC (more than 2,700 years ago), and had only one event, a sprint (a short run that was called the "stade"). The race was run by men who competed in the nude. A wreath of olive branches was placed on the winner's head (in Greek, this is called a kotinos).

The olive tree was the sacred tree of Athens, Greece.

Women were neither allowed to compete in the games nor to watch them, because the games were dedicated to Zeus and were therefore meant for men.

The four-year period between the Olympic games was called an olympiad. Every four years, for 1,170 years, the Greeks held an Olympics, which continued to grow and change. Many other sports were added, including other races, wrestling, boxing, pentathlon (five events, including the long jump, javelin throw, discus throw, foot race, and wrestling), and equestrian events (events with horses and people, like chariot races and horse races) The Olympic games were banned by the Byzantine Emperor Theodosius II in the year AD 394.

The Modern Olympic Games: More than 1500 years later, Pierre de Frédy, Baron de Coubertin (1863-1937) (a French educator and sportsman) revived the Olympic Games. An all-male Olympic games were held in 1896, in Athens, Greece. The first

winter Olympics were held in 1924, in Chamonix, France.

The Flag of the Olympic Games: The flag of the Olympic Games has five interlocking rings (blue, yellow, black, green, and red) on a white ground. The rings represent the five parts of the world that were joined together in the Olympic movement: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia and Europe. Baron de Coubertin designed the flag of the Olympics in 1913-1914.

The Olympic flag was first used in the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp, Belgium. The Olympic flag is paraded during the opening ceremony of each Olympic Games. At the end of an Olympics, the mayor of the hostcity presents the flag to the mayor of the next host-city. The flag will remain in the town hall of the next host-city until the next Olympic Games, four years later.

History of the Olympic Flame The tradition of the Olympic flame began during the ancient Olympic Games, over 2700 years ago in Greece. A flame was lit for each Olympics, every four years, and it burned throughout the games. The flame symbolized the death and rebirth of Greek heroes.

There was no torch relay in the ancient Olympics. The first torch relay took place at the 1936 games in Berlin, Germany.

The Torches of the Olympics: For each Olympics, a new flame is started in the ancient Olympic stadium in Olympia, Elis, Greece, using a parabolic mirror to focus the rays of the Sun. This flame begins its Olympic Torch Relay by touring Greece. The flame is normally taken to the country where the games will be held (usually by airplane).

Following that, the flame is then carried around the country where the games are to be held, using a series of torches carried by people running, walking, riding horses

and camels, scuba diving, and using other means of human conveyance. The last runner uses a torch to light the large Olympic torch which burns throughout the games. The flame is extinguished during the closing ceremony. A new Olympic torch is designed for each of the games.

The Olympic Motto: The Olympic motto is, "Citius, Altius, Fortius," which means "Swifter, Higher, Stronger."

Olympic Events: The events in the Summer Olympics include: archery, badminton, baseball, basketball, boxing, canoeing, cycling, diving, equestrian, fencing, football (soccer), gymnastics, handball, hockey, judo, kayaking, marathon, pentathlon, ping pong, rowing, sailing, shooting, swimming, taekwando, tennis, track and field (many running, jumping, and throwing events), triathlon, volleyball, water polo, weightlifting, wrestling (freestyle and Greco-Roman).

The events in the Winter Olympics include: ice hockey, figure skating, speed skating, snowboarding, luge, bobsleigh, skeleton (a type of sledding), curling, cross-country skiing, freestyle skiing, slalom, downhill (Alpine) skiing, ski jumping, Nordic combined (skiing plus ski jumping), and biathlon (skiing and shooting).

Olympic Medals: At the Ancient Olympics, a wreath of olive branches was placed on the winner's head (in Greek, this is called a kotinos).

At the modern Olympics, each first-place winner receives a gold medal, each second-place winner receives a silver medal, and each third-place winner receives a bronze medal (the bronze medal was introduced in 1904). Different medals are designed for each new Olympics. Certificates called victory diplomas are also given to many top winners in each sport.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

— First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Financial Times, London, on Egypt: The manner in which Mohammed Morsi became the first elected president of Egypt in June made confrontation inevitable between his Muslim Brotherhood and an army that has held power for the past 60 years. The generals had maneuvered to dissolve the Islamist-dominated parliament, appropriate its legislative powers, and award themselves the right to dictate the new constitution.

Yet, the struggle for power has — so far — taken the form of a jostle for position. Morsi defied the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces and the Mubarak-era supreme constitutional court by convening the dissolved parliament. It was then adjourned by the Brotherhood-aligned speaker after a matter of minutes. The president had put down a marker.

Parliament served notice of a legal challenge against its closure, but made clear it respected the rule of law and separation of powers (it was the constitutional court that dissolved the assembly).

A threatened collision was instead turned into rituals of institutional respect. The Brothers are not by nature precipitate. Their tactics are those of the long march.

The Americanname and teleowned Zellers chain was bought out by the more phone number. dynamic American retailer and its stores will be converted to the Target brand. The move creates some new jobs, considerable capital investment and offers consumers a better choice.

It doesn’t seem like something that should have to be approved by the federal government, and yet, it is. The Investment Canada Act enables the government to determine if such deals would be of net benefit to Canada.

The government has said yes, no surprise, and graciously granted Target approval to sell Canadian “cultural products” in its stores.

Some have interpreted this to mean Target must carry Canadian content, but that’s not the case. Instead, the government is granting an exemption to 20-year-old rules that dictate all elements of the culture business must be Canadian controlled.

To do otherwise would have been silly. Foreign-owned retailers like Costco and Walmart already sell Canadian books, CDs and DVDs. The government says allowing Target to sell Canadian products will benefit our cultural industries.

That’s old-fashioned reasoning. Book, music and video stores are struggling to survive as people switch to digital entertainment. Target can’t stem that tide.

The government was right to allow Target to sell what it wants, but the rules that give government a say are outmoded. Canadian content rules might have had their day, but it is long past. Culture is global now — and increasingly, digital. Canadians don’t need government to tell them what they can buy or who can sell it to them.

DOONESBURY

Planet of the Smart (and No-So-Smart) Apes At the risk of offending apes everywhere, the results of yet another study comparing their intelligence to humans’ are in.

Either the apes are getting smarter or we’re getting dumber.

Or both. Or maybe apes have always been smarter than we gave them credit for and we were too stupid to recognize it.

While humans have more and more technology available to them, it doesn’t seem to be helping us stretch our intellect much. This does not include the folks who invented the iPad. The iPad is perhaps the greatest invention in the history of the universe. Those people are geniuses.

But any second grader of average aptitude can (and apparently does) run a Smart Phone.

Everyone except for me can (and apparently does) spend 20 hours a day texting, especially while driving at speeds approaching that necessary to escape the earth’s gravity field. As near as I can tell, texting bears approximately 99 percent of the responsibility for the lousy spelling and punctuation skills in this country. These insults to The Goode Englishe do not make me LOL. They do not

Marla Boone Troy Daily News Columnist make me L at all.

All that texting brings to mind an aptitude one ape species has recently demonstrated. Baboons have shown they can distinguish between complete words and random letters. This naturally inspires the question, could a baboon read “How R U? IMOK. Ur OK. OMG.”? And just when I’m feeling pretty superior because of my Words With Friends win/loss record, I find out apes possess a little more self-discipline than I do.

Orangutans and bonobos can set goals and then follow through to achieve those goals. This is fairly humbling to a girl who has spent the last seven New Years Eves swearing to lose15 pounds.

That goal has repeatedly met its

— Cindy Miller Executive Director

untimely end at the doorstep of the Krispy Kreme franchise. Apes have been shown to exhibit extreme patience for what they realize will eventually come, sometimes enduring a 14-hour wait.

They delay instant gratification longer than a human child. I, unfortunately, start chafing at around 14-second mark and like to quote Carrie Fisher, who says instant gratification takes too long.

Bonobos, like chimpanzees, have DNA that is remarkably similar to humans’. Of the zillions of cells comprising the apes’ genetic make up, only 1.3 percent is different from ours. Here is how I, in a demonstrably unscientific bit of conjecture, think we compare.

Within the 98.7 percent of the DNA that we share with chimps must be the genes for searching for food and mates, for warmongering and peacemaking. Humans are not exactly doing themselves proud with the remainder. Sure, we have gone to the moon and found the Titanic. Our developmental strata have spawned Isaac Newton, Mozart, and the Wright Brothers.

We’re also unfortunately the

evolutionary hiccup that has hunted other species to the brink of extinction for the sake of a trophy head. We’re the evidently unteachable who willingly inhale lungs full of known carcinogens and overfill our bodies with Hostess Twinkies. And, don’t forget, it was pure human hubris that put the Titanic on the seafloor to begin with.

Researchers site the use of the computer as an invaluable tool to studying the apes. The touch screen has allowed humans to communicate better with our nearest kin and to learn how apes demonstrate qualities formerly thought to belong solely to the realm of humans. Apes are now known to be able to control their emotions, empathize, and socialize.

These are skills we hope can be learned by professional football players some day.

Scientists are now providing apes 24/7 access to computers and other touch-screen devices. If this keeps up, we’ll have those apes down to our level in no time.

Seeds of growth in the Treasure Valley

LUDLOW FALLS — Mary Jane (Nevins) O’Brien, 83, of Ludlow Falls, passed away Saturday, July 21, 2012, at Hospice of Dayton.

She was born June 16, 1929, in New York City, New York.

She was preceded in death by her parents, John Francis and Mary Agnes (Toomey) Nevins; husband, Thomas Joseph O’Brien; and a sister, Winifred “Dolly” Nevins Tremblay.

She is survived by her loving family, sons and daughters-in-law, Brian Patrick and Nancy O’Brien of Frederick, Md., Thomas John and Theresa O’Brien of Round Rock, Texas and Patrick Francis and Jen O’Brien of Kettering; daughters and sons-in-law, Mary O’Brien and Patrick Reddan of Ludlow Falls, Christine Ann and William Glenn of Colorado Springs, Colo., Kathleen O’Brien Dietz of Englewood and Maureen O’Brien and Michael Hoffman George Crookham explains the process of convert- of Beavercreek; 18 grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and a sister, Rita ing corn, fresh-picked from the field, into seeds ready to be sold in Caldwell, Idaho.

There are not many places around the globe that are as conducive for seeds.

come from Idaho and Eastern Oregon. Nearly a quarter come from California.

Demand for seed is growing inside and outside the United States as demand for food rises, said Stacy Woodruff, Nunhems’ global head of processing.

Canyon County’s location is part of the reason for growth in the seed industry in Idaho. Its arid climate and cold winters good for killing bugs make the region ideal for growing many types of seed. “There are not many places around the globe that are as conducive for seeds,” Woodruff said.

In nearby Parma, Jon Watson, whose family has been growing crops in the region for a century, operates on two sides of the seed business.

He’s a large onion grower and regularly spends $400 to $500 an acre for seed for his 450 acres of onions, part of his 2,000 acres between Parma and Middleton.

He plants Nunhems seeds that are designed to endure long daylight hours during growing periods and to produce onions that store well in sheds after the summer harvest and before they are shipped the next fall, winter and spring.

They also produce the double-fisted-size onions that show up in restaurants, like those in Outback Steakhouse’s deep-fried onion blossoms.

But Watson’s J.C. Watson Co. also grows seeds for such crops as beans, alfalfa and sweet corn. Seed crops take about 25 percent of his acreage.

The seed crops bring in better prices than crops raised for people to eat.

irrigation. “Too much (there is) scalding,” he said. Too little and the plant dries up.

Alfalfa is tricky, because there is a temptation to let the crop keep blooming and creating seeds as leaf-cutter bees work the field with nearly military precision, popping open blossoms and pollinating them as they chew on leaves. If Watson waits too long, there won’t be enough time left for the alfalfa plants to dry so the seeds can be harvested.

For seed companies, the business requires constant research, looking for ways to bring together the best traits of various plants and come up with better seeds.

George Crookham, an owner of Crookham Co., has 100 acres not far from his seed plant where he constantly tests for the best onion and corn seeds.

He looks for ways to improve flavor and to make sure the corn grows to the tip of the cob, which is pleasing to consumers.

“We eat so much with our eyes,” he said.

And he looks for ways to develop seed that will get crops from farmers to consumers faster a tactic that can help farmers get better prices, he said.

Finding all those traits and blending them into one seed can take up to a decade, Crookham said.

He reaches over to a corn plant, pulls an ear off the stalk and bites into the kernels.

“This is going to be a home run,” he said.

CALDWELL, Idaho (AP) — Dustin Batt, a straw hat shielding him from the sun on a blistering summer day, walks through chest-high acres of corn. He carries an electronic tablet where he writes down bits of information about each plant height, hardiness, length of ears.

He’s looking for corn that will be bred and rebred. The plants will create seed for corn that will show up at your grocery store or in a can of sweet corn you buy for dinner.

In a year, Batt will pass by a million corn plants and save only about 500 of them.

“They are the best of the best,” he said.

Batt, 34, is a corn breeder for Crookham Co., a 101year-old agriculture business in Caldwell that processes millions of pounds of seed corn, popcorn and onion each year for growers around the world.

It has plenty of company locally. About 40 seed companies including big corporations such as Harris Moran, Monsanto and Syngenta and small businesses like Crookham are taking advantage of spectacular growing conditions in the Treasure Valley.

It is unclear how many people they employ. But Crookham and Nunhems, a part of Germany-based Bayer Crop Science, each might employ more than 200 people during peak periods when seeds are processed.

Much of the Treasure Valley seed business operates on a similar model.

Companies create hybrids, generate parent seed, and then contract with independent growers to plant those seeds to generate more seeds.

The growers raise and harvest the crops and bring their seeds back to companies such as Crookham, where they are screened, packaged and sold to growers who will turn them into crops for eating.

Companies say there is a worldwide demand for more and better seed.

Nunhems, whose U.S. headquarters is seven miles north of Parma, underwent a 50 percent, $30 million expansion in seed processing capacity in 2010 in Parma to help it meet a projected 75 percent increase in demand for seeds between 2010 and 2020.

“We were at the gills,” said Shane Roe, Nunhems facility and maintenance manager.

This fall, Nunhems plans another expansion to triple the size of its 7,500-squarefoot quality-assurance area to meet demands for more testing as quantities of seeds shipped continue to rise, Roe said.

Nunhems’ Parma plant processes onion and carrot seed, from seed grown by farmers in Idaho and Oregon. It also processes watermelon, tomatoes, cabbage, broccoli and other seeds from plants harvested elsewhere in the country.

Nearly two-thirds of the processed crops at Parma

UNION — Terry Joe Cummins, 71, of Union, formerly of West Milton and Butler Twp., passed away Saturday, July 21, 2012.

TROY TV-5

Start healing process by making your feelings clear

Today: 5 p.m.: Community Bulletin Board 7:30 p.m.: INN News 9 p.m.: Around Troy

Dear Annie: "Daniel" and I have been going out for six months. We really connect and feel as if we are meant to be together. There is only one problem.

One of our best friends, "Jordan," has developed strong feelings for me. I found out he's felt this way since before I began dating Daniel. When Daniel found out, he was outraged and felt betrayed by Jordan.

Whenever I'm with Daniel, I can see that Jordan is jealous and angry. Now the two of them can't even be in the same room without arguing. Daniel is fed up and doesn't want me near Jordan anymore. How can I save two friendships without losing the love of my life? — Hurt and Lost Dear Hurt: You cannot control how Daniel and Jordan act around each other, but you can help by making your feelings clear, especially to Jordan, that there is nothing romantic between you. Don't play them against each other. You may need to back away from the friendship in order to allow Jordan time to get over you. However, if Daniel is so jealous that he doesn't trust you, that is a different problem.

Dear Annie: I've been friends for years with a lovely group of women, divorced, married and widowed. We get together once a month to dine out and catch up on news. We always looked forward to our girls' night out.

Last year, "Agnes" remarried, and she has been bringing the new husband along to our meetings. Everyone was patient at first because we didn't think she would keep it up, but it's been 10 months, and her husband has settled in as "one of the girls."

We have discussed the problem, and no one wants to address it because we are afraid Agnes will quit the group. But it is causing a strain and some resentment each time he shows up. We long for the way our group used to be.

What do you suggest? — Disappointed in Ohio Dear Disappointed: This is one of those things that ought to have been nipped in the bud.

Agnes should not have brought her husband to begin with, but now he believes you have accepted him and enjoy his company.

Removing him will necessitate hurting his feelings and risking Agnes' displeasure. A couple of you can talk to Agnes privately and explain that you think her husband is a great guy, but you miss the comfort and casual ease of a girls-only gathering. Ask her to please leave him at home next time.

Dear Annie: I must respectfully disagree with your advice to "Caught in the Middle," whose sister, "Sheila," had an affair and left her husband a year ago, devastating their 23-year-old son.

You advised the writer that it would be easier for the son to accept the situation if the new boyfriend were included at an upcoming gathering with all the family around him. Sheila made her choice when she wrecked her family, and her son certainly does not need to be reminded of the hurt inflicted on him by his mother, nor does he need this boyfriend shoved down his throat.

His family should support him and rally around him and allow him time to grieve.

Yes, he eventually needs to learn to tolerate this man — but not yet.

Sheila should show more compassion for the devastation she has wrought, not to mention humility, even remorse. You don't support someone who deliberately hurts the family and then insists on instant acceptance. — A Reader in Oregon Dear Reader: We understand the desire to make Sheila pay for her terrible choice, but a year isn't "instant acceptance," and frankly, there is no good time to learn to tolerate your mother's boyfriend. This gathering is when the entire family will be together to support the son.

We think that's as good a time as any.

SATURDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

For crying out loud — use the right number!

Dear Heloise: I have a complaint about my doctor’s office.

They requested and wrote down the phone number to reach me in the daytime because I work full time, as many people do. Lo and behold, they leave messages on my home phone. If they had not specifically asked me which number to call, I wouldn’t be so frustrated.

Please, doctors or other businesses, call the number we give you. — Alice in Connecticut This can be frustrating on many levels. You need to stress which phone number is the first contact number. Sadly, I’ve had messages from someone else’s doctor left on my answering

Hints from Heloise Columnist machine. So that means the person did not get the message.

Also, I have had people leave me a message for their doctor. I call that doctor’s office and say the patient called me by mistake. — Heloise LINGERING LEFTOVERS Dear Heloise: My husband and I went to dinner the other

night, and I brought home leftovers. Unfortunately, I forgot them in my car. When I went to get into my car the next day, the odor was unbearable! How can I get the smell out? — Juliette in Wisconsin Yuck and pee-yew! I did this a long time ago when dating my husband, David. My “leftover” was shrimp, and let me tell you, in our Texas heat, that car stunk so bad I’m amazed he took me out on another date.

Here’s what you do: After removing the spoils, the first thing is to open all the windows and let the car air out. Then try an ozone-type spray (not an air freshener with a scent) that

kills bacteria. — Heloise TIME-SAVING SUDS Dear Heloise: My daughter told me about this tip of hers: When she showers, she washes her hair first. Then she leaves the conditioner in while she washes up. I always did the opposite and would stand there running the water for two or three minutes while my hair conditioned. Now I save a few gallons of water every day, and my hair gets conditioned for a few extra minutes, too. As for saving time, three or more extra minutes in the morning come in handy for grabbing a cup of coffee before going to work. — A Reader, via email

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, July 24, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is an excellent day for financial speculation regarding the arts, vacation travel, sports, the entertainment world and the hospitality industry. Romance is fun and upbeat!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Family discussions are enthusiastic today. This is a great day to have meetings at home to promote ideas and study. It’s also a good day for home repairs.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You feel enthusiastic and full of the power of positive thinking today.

You’re brimming with bright ideas.

(Today’s a good day to start a trip.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Business and commerce are favored today because you’re quick to see the overall picture. Your mind is energetic and alert to all possibilities.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Because you can see the overall pattern, you more easily appreciate the world others are living in as well as your own world. This helps you to negotiate and work with people successfully.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) While working behind the scenes today, you can make a difference that could affect a lot of people. You see the big picture and are quick to appreciate possibilities and opportunities that are at hand.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today your enthusiasm will help you to attain your objectives. This definitely is a day that pays off by working with others to get what you want.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) In discussions with authorities today, your attention turns to the larger issues in life. A belief in yourself and a sense of optimism could change your life direction! (Pretty big stuff.)

You want to know more about everything. Travel anywhere in the world will please you.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a good day for business, work and your health. Work-related travel is likely. Your positive attitude will help you gain what you want, especially through interactions with others.

YOU BORN TODAY You like to do things that are daring and unusual, which is why you often are in the public eye. You love to lead an exciting, dramatic, adventurous life! (This is why a stable life situation is valuable.)

Something you’ve been involved with for the past nine years might diminish or end this year to make room for something new to enter your world.

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

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

While banks and Western branches are Union 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.

Troy Christian suspends football

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com Sometimes the toughest decisions aren’t made on the field.

Troy Christian High School’s administration learned that over the weekend.

Troy Christian announced Sunday that, due to low numbers and, in particular, a lack of upperclassmen, it was suspending its varsity football team for the 2012 fall season, choosing instead to play a junior varsity schedule and allow the young players to grow

TROY and mature — with less of a risk to their own health than they would face playing a varsity schedule.

“No, it isn’t. It was incredibly tough,” Troy Christian superintendent Gary Wilber said when asked if the decision was reached lightly.

The Eagles, who have seen their numbers drop in the last few seasons, would have had a team composed of roughly two-thirds freshmen and sophomores, with relatively few seniors on board.

And with many of those players

likely to be forced to play both offense and defense thanks to the numbers crunch overall, the school decided the safety risk was too great.

“We looked at the numbers we had, especially the lack of upperclassmen — the team would be two-thirds young, young players,” Wilber said. “And with some of those young kids having to go both ways, safety-wise we just felt we couldn’t do it.

“There’s a big maturity difference and a big physical difference at this age. Last year, seeing some of the injuries we did during the

Larkin inducted into HOF COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) — Former Cincinnati Reds star Barry Larkin has been inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

With his parents and family looking on from the front row, Larkin, one of the best shortstops in major league history, spent his entire speech thanking the people that molded him.

His parents introduced him to the game at age 5. Larkin singled out former teammates Pete LARKIN Rose, Buddy Bell, Eric Davis, Dave Parker and Dave Concepcion.

“My inclusion in the Hall of Fame is the ultimate validation. I want to thank you all for helping me along the way,” Larkin said.

Larkin, who played his entire 19-year career with the Reds, retired after the 2004 season with a .295 career average, 2,340 hits, 1,329 runs scored and 379 stolen bases.

Troy Christian has had a varsity program for the past 10 years, according to a press release sent out by the school. In both 2001 and 2002, the Eagles won the Northwest Central Conference, and the team made the playoffs three years straight from 2002-04, winning one playoff game in 2002.

Reds close out Brewers Cueto tosses another gem in 2-1 victory CINCINNATI (AP) — When Johnny Cueto starts for Cincinnati, Wilson Valdez knows the Reds might not need much offense.

The veteran utilityman drove in the tying run and scored the go-ahead run to back Cueto’s gritty pitching as the Reds wrapped up one of the best homestands in franchise history with a 2-1 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday.

“You know Johnny’s not going to give up many runs,” said Valdez, acquired by Cincinnati from Philadelphia in an offseason trade. “You know you might only have to score a couple of runs.”

Cueto (12-5) matched his single-season career high in wins and lowered his ERA to 2.23 to lead the Reds to their eighth victory on the 10-game homestand.

It’s only the fifth time in franchise history that Cincinnati posted at least eight wins on a home stand of 10 or fewer games.

The last time was in 1975, when the Reds went 8-1 on a homestand.

NCAA to punish Penn St. football Paterno statue taken down STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — The NCAA announced Sunday that it will issue sanctions against Penn State in the wake of a scathing report that found that top university officials buried child sex abuse allegations against a now-convicted retired assistant and led to the tearing down of the famed statue of once-sainted coach Joe Paterno.

Shortly after Paterno’s statue was removed Sunday, six months to the day after he died, the NCAA came forward to say that it will levy “corrective and punitive measures” against the school. The sanctions will be spelled out Monday, the NCAA said without disclosing further details.

NCAA President Mark Emmert hasn’t ruled out the possibility of shutting down the Penn State football program in the wake of the scandal, saying he had “never seen anything as egregious.”

The Paterno family issued a statement saying the statue’s removal “does not serve the victims of Jerry Sandusky’s horrible crimes or help heal the Penn State community.”

“We believe the only way to help the victims is to uncover the full truth,” said the family, which vowed its own investigation following the release of an investigative report by former FBI Director Louis Freeh that found that Paterno and three other top Penn State administrators concealed sex abuse

claims against Sandusky.

The family called the report “the equivalent of an indictment a charging document written by a prosecutor and an incomplete and unofficial one at that.”

The bronze statue, weighing more than 900 pounds, was built in 2001 in honor of Paterno’s record-setting 324th Division I coaching victory and his “contributions to the university.”

Students chanted, “We are Penn State” as the statue came down.

Penn State President Rod Erickson said he decided to have the statue removed and put into storage because it “has become a source of division and an obstacle to healing.”

“I believe that, were it to remain, the statue will be a recurring wound to the multitude of individuals across the nation and beyond who have been the victims of child abuse,” Erickson said in a statement.

Many of those watching the statue’s removal stared in disbelief and at least one woman wept, while others expressed anger at the decision.

“I think it was an act of cowardice on the part of the university,” said Mary Trometter, of Williamsport, who wore a shirt bearing Paterno’s image. She said she felt betrayed by university officials, saying they promised openness but said nothing about the decision until just before the removal work began.

Figure from OSU scandal dead at 68 JEANNETTE, Pa. (AP) — One of the supporting characters in Ohio State’s NCAA violations and the downfall of coach Jim Tressel has died.

Jeannette, Pa., businessman Ted Sarniak III, died on Friday at a Pittsburgh-area hospital, according to the funeral home handling the arrangements. He was 68.

Sarniak was a mentor to Terrelle Pryor, who played at Jeannette High School. Pryor was considered 2008’s No. 1

quarterback recruit and signed with Ohio State.

When Tressel, who later resigned, discovered in April 2010 that Pryor and other players were involved in selling memorabilia to the subject of a federal drug probe, one of the first calls he made was to Sarniak. The NCAA and Ohio State investigated Sarniak, but cleared him of offering any improper benefits.

Ohio State was sanctioned by the NCAA.

U.S. survives close game with Argentina BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — The U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team wore the throwback uniforms of the 1992 Dream Team on Sunday. The Americans’ play was much different.

Kevin Durant scored 27 points and the United States held on for a narrow 86-80 victory over

Argentina in an exhibition game.

The Americans got off to a hot start but their lead was down to four with 2:50 left after Manu Ginobili’s three-point play. But Durant and Chris Paul hit big 3-pointers as the U.S. won after being pushed for the second time in its four exhibition games.

■ Major League Baseball

Reds ■ CONTINUED FROM 14 Central Division-rivals St. Louis and Milwaukee around a split of a four-game series against Arizona and maintained its lead over Pittsburgh in the division.

The Reds, who lead the Pirates by a half-game, are 5-2 since learning that AllStar first baseman Joey Votto needed arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.

Manager Dusty Baker would prefer a perfect homestand, but he’ll take what he got from this one, which boosted the Reds a seasonhigh 15 games over .500 (5540).

“We got off to a great start with the sweep of St. Louis and got a great end with this sweep,” said Baker, who savored sweeping division foes. “That’s real big. You know you can pick up ground or lose ground.”

Milwaukee manager Ron

Roenicke was chagrined about being swept in a series the fourth-place Brewers considered to be crucial for staying in the race.

Cueto (12-5) overcame a 30-pitch first inning, which ended with Milwaukee leaving the bases loaded, to complete seven while throwing 117 pitches. He gave up eight hits and one run with one walk. He tied his season high with nine strikeouts and capped his day by getting NL home run-leader Ryan Braun to fly out to center field with two outs and the potential tying run on third in the seventh inning.

Orioles 4, Indians 3 CLEVELAND — Zach Britton pitched six shutout innings, J.J. Hardy drove in three runs and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Cleveland Indians 4-3 Sunday for their fifth straight win.

Wiggins gets victory lap after winning Tour de France PARIS (AP) — It was a rare sight at the Tour de France: The yellow jersey holder charging down the streets of Paris at the head of the peloton, trying to set up a teammate for a sprint victory on the final stage.

Bradley Wiggins turned his victory lap into another exhibition at the Tour de France.

With Wiggins heading for a historic victory at the end of a largely ceremonial ride into the French capital, there was one last job to perform before savoring his

achievement of becoming the first British rider to win cycling’s biggest race.

As with everything else over the last three weeks, Wiggins did it to perfection leading the team Sky train for parts of the final kilometers before pulling back to let Mark Cavendish secure yet another sprint victory.

Only then was it time for Wiggins to take it all in the British flags waving in the heart of Paris, the view of the Champs-Elysees from the top of the podium and “God Save the Queen” being

sung in his honor.

“It’s been a magical couple of weeks for the team and for British cycling,” Wiggins said.

“Some dreams come true. My mother over there, she’s now - her son has won the Tour de France.”

There’ll be little time to celebrate, though.

The British success comes less than one week before the start of the London Olympics, where Wiggins and Cavendish are the overwhelming favorites for gold in the time trial

and the road race.

“Tonight I go home,” Wiggins said. “Everything turns to the Olympics and I’ll be out on the bike tomorrow and I’ve got an Olympic time trial to try and win. So that’s a higher priority than anything else. It’s a little weird to leave Paris without a party because it would be nice to spend time with the team and really enjoy it.”

Wiggins enjoyed a perfect Tour from the start and secured the victory with a dominating performance in

Saturday’s final time trial to extend his already commanding lead. Fellow Briton and Sky teammate Christopher Froome finished second, 3 minutes, 21 seconds behind overall.

Vincenzo Nibali of Italy finished third, 6:19 off the pace.

And with Cavendish having sacrificed some opportunities for more stage wins along the way by helping his teammate protect the yellow jersey, Wiggins was all too happy to pay him back over the

final kilometers of the race normally a time when the winner is merely cruising along and already receiving congratulations from other riders.

“It’s hard to take in as it happens,” Wiggins said.

“Every lap of the ChampsElysees was goose-pimple stuff. We had a job to do with Mark today and we were all motivated to do that so it made it go a lot quicker. The concentration was high and for Mark to finish it off like that… well, it couldn’t get any better.”

Club ■ CONTINUED FROM 14 stormed back with a 66 in the final round to break Via’s nine-year winning streak in comeback fashion — the left-handed Groff had a solid opening round on Saturday, entering Sunday locked in a tie for the top spot with Justin Weber.

This time around, though, Via, who shot a 71 on Saturday, entered the final round trailing the co-leaders by two strokes, instead of holding the lead after the first day like he was at the City. But Via rallied for a 67 on Sunday, including a clutch birdie on the 18th hole, which set up a playoff hole for the win against Groff, who double-bogeyed on 18.

Groff, however, would simply not be denied of his second win at the event in as many years, parring the first playoff hole to take down Via. Groff birdied holes 3, 4, 15 as the pair finished the day with identical scores of 138 — which tied for the best overall score in the tournament.

Weber was the next man behind (144) in the Championship Flight,

Corey Pierson and Matt Maurer — who birdied three-straight holes at one point and finished with four total in the round — both shot a 146.

In the ultra-competitive Super Seniors Flight, which had the most players of any division with 21, Doug Willoughby played consistent both days, shooting a 72 Saturday and following up with a 73 in the final round for a total of 145 to come away with the win.

Gary Weaver (146) and John Weaver (147), who finished second and third, respectively, were right on his heels. Tom Mercer (148) and Jim Hoover (150) rounded out the top five.

Brent Adkins won the Seniors Flight, carding a 153 compared to secondplace finisher Steve Hager’s score of 157. Ron Kress and Jim Sarich tied for third with 160.

After Marty Stanaford turned in a 73 on the scorecard Saturday, he cruised to the title in the First Flight. J.D. Hoover (163) held off Jeff Bacon (164) for second place, Tom Weissbrod got fourth (166).

LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England (AP) — Ernie Els felt something special could happen at the British Open, and it did.

All because of a collapse

by Adam Scott that no one imagined.

Four shots ahead with four holes to play after eight straight holes with nothing worse than par Scott bogeyed them all and had to fight back tears on the 18th green Sunday as the magnitude of his meltdown began to sink in.

Els, who started the final round six shots behind, finished off a flawless back nine with a 15-foot birdie putt for a 2-under 68 that looked as if it would do little more than lock up another runner-up finish at Royal Lytham & St. Annes.

Instead, he wound up with his second British Open the other one was 10 years ago at Muirfield and fourth major championship at a stage in his career when it seemed as though his best golf was behind him.

The celebration was muted, unlike his other three majors.

“I’m a little numb at the moment,” said Els, who was on the practice green behind the clubhouse when he won.

“First of all, I feel for Adam Scott. He’s a great friend of mine. Obviously, we both wanted to win very badly.

But you know, that’s the nature of the beast. That’s why we’re out here. You win, you lose.

“It was my time for some reason.”

The wind finally arrived off the Irish Sea and ushered in pure chaos a mental blunder by Tiger Woods that led to triple bogey on the sixth hole, a lost ball by Brandt

Snedeker that took him out of contention and a topped shot that made former U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell look like an amateur.

Nothing was more stunning that what happened to Scott.

He failed to get up-anddown from a bunker on the 15th. With a wedge in his hand in the 16th fairway, he

went 30 feet long and missed a 3-foot par putt. From the fairway on the 17th, he pulled his approach into thick grass left of the green.

And on the final hole, he hit 3-wood near the face of a pot bunker.

Scott still had a chance to force extra holes with a strong shot into 7 feet on the 18th for par. The putt stayed left the entire way. His chin

buckled, and it looked as if he might start crying on the green. He composed himself and mouthed one word: “Wow.” “I had it in my hands with four to go,” Scott said. “I managed to hit a poor shot on each of the closing four holes. Look, I played so beautifully for most of the week. I shouldn’t let this bring me down.”

Marvin Major, Mike Orange, Robert Brown, Caleb Orange and Kelechukwu Oparah will make up the coaching staff.

“We respect his decision.

He felt it was in the best interests of the program,” Wilber said of Brown’s decision to leave. “Our coaching staff is strong, including three men who have NCAA Division I playing experience.”

But with the year off — and big numbers coming up through the junior high program — the Eagles are hoping to make a triumphant return to the varsity level in 2013.

“Troy Christian’s board and administration is fully committed to a varsity football program,” Wilber said.

“We feel this is a positive step for the future of our football program.”

Eagles ■ CONTINUED FROM 14 team last season — a team that was hamstrung by injuries to an already-thin roster.

“We had a board committee meeting on it and decided this was best,” Wilber said. “We’ll take a year, back off a little, rebuild the program and go back at it again the next year. “(Football injuries) have

been getting a lot more press recently, and we’re coming to understand more about these injuries, too.

You can’t take that lightly.”

Brown decided not to return as coach this season, though the team will still take the field as a junior varsity squad to allow the younger players to continue to gain playing experience with a lessened risk of injury. Steve Salazar,

Track officials held a moment of silence before the race and the No. 24 car driven by Benny Gordon carried the message “Remember Aurora Colorado” on its rear fender.

It was the third win of the season for Sadler, who has eight Nationwide victories in his career. Sadler won at Phoenix and Bristol earlier this season.

He leads the series standings by 11 points over Austin Dillon, who finished sixth.

Sunday’s race drew a sparse crowd, although no official attendance figure was immediately released.

The Sprint Cup Series was off this weekend and will resume racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway next week.
