VAN WERT The historic Van Wert Peony
Festival will celebrate its 38th year today and
Saturday at Fountain Park on Main Street. This year
is expected to bring in all new enter-
tainment and activities and will draw
in large crowds at 5 p.m. on Saturday
for the much-loved Peony Festival
Grand Parade on Washington Street.
There is a little bit for everybody
this year from toddlers to adults,
said Peony Committee President
Zoe Longstreth. We have tried to
keep the festival at little to no cost.
While we are sorry that there are no
amusement rides at the festival this
year, they are expected to be back
next year and we have filled the void
to make this years event bigger and
better than ever. Now, we are just
praying for good weather.
The peony flower and the city
of Van Wert share a special history
together that dates back to the 1930s when Van
Wert was named The Peony Center of the World.
Eventually, Peony Sunday was developed by local
gardeners and large crowds began to gather in
Van Wert near the first of June to see the beautiful
peony blooms.
In 1932, the very first Peony Festival was held as
an expansion to Peony Sunday and the tradition of
the annual Peony Parade began. The festival contin-
ued until 1941, stopped until 1955, then ran through
1960. Following a long break, it returned in 1992.
Now in 2013, it has continued to grow and the Van
Wert community bands together to remember this
historic tradition.
The 2013 Peony Festival theme
is A Time To Remember and
will kick off at 10 a.m. today with
the opening of information booths
on Jefferson and Main streets and
the Optimist Youth Art Show at
Fountain Park, which concludes at 6
p.m. The craft show will follow at 11
a.m. and run until 9 p.m. Lunch with
the peony festival queen, Queen
Jubilee XXXVIII Jordan Rex, will
be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at
DeShia Country Gift Shoppe with
her court.
At noon, food vendors will open
on South Jefferson Street along
with ArtRageous on Main and the
Wassenberg Art Center Silent Chair-
ity Auction in Fountain Park. All three
of these features will run until the conclusion of
the night at 9 p.m. At 4 p.m., the peony concession
stand will open in Fountain Park and will be serving
sloppy joes and shredded chicken sandwiches.
Crowds will move to the Goedde Building on
Crawford Street from 5-7 p.m. for the Peony Petal
Princess and Princess Contest. At 6 p.m., the annual
car show will begin on West Main Street with a vari-
ety of historical and one-of-a-kind cars. Tonights
events will conclude with the Phil Dirt and the
Dozers concert in Fountain Park from 7-9 p.m.
Saturday, three events will be held at the YMCA
Camp Clay center. The Kids Free Fishing Derby
will run from 9-11 a.m. The Kids One-Mile Fun
Run will begin at 10:45 a.m. with the Peony Pace
5K Run and Walk quickly following at 11 a.m.
ArtRageous on Main events will begin at 10
a.m. and will remain open until the parade starts
at 5 p.m.
ArtRageous events include the artist exhibits,
Optimist Youth Art Show and the Wassenberg Art
Center Silent Chair-ity Auction in the park, as well
as the architectural hunt on downtown Main Street.
The Peony Festival Garden Tours will also begin
at 10 a.m. and will conclude at 2 p.m. Locations
can be found in the Peony Festival brochure. The
Chalk the Walk Contest will run from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m. as contestants decorate the sidewalks within
Fountain Park.
Food vendors will open at 10 a.m. and will remain
open after the parade until 8 p.m. Kids can join in on
the fun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with childrens activities
and inflatables. Kids Graffiti in the Park will be from
noon to 5 p.m. Temporary tattoos and a duck pond will
also be available for children. The Water Walker will
be available for the first time this year and is expected
to catch the attention of local teens as they can walk on
water within a clear, plastic ball.

Ohio Senate
OKs $61.7B
budget, sends
to more talks
COLUMBUS (AP) A
state budget that revamps
Gov. John Kasichs school
funding proposal and restores
small-business tax relief has
cleared the Ohio Senate.
The GOP-led chamber
voted 23-10 Thursday on
the $61.7 billion, two-
year spending blueprint.
Democratic senators
fiercely objected to provi-
sions of the measure, includ-
ing the effective defunding of
Planned Parenthood, during
about eight hours of debate.
The bill includes more
money for K-12 education
funding and strips out a 7
percent statewide income-
tax reduction passed by the
House in favor of small-
business exemptions.
Senate approval sends the
bill into bipartisan compro-
mise talks that must wrap
up by a June 30 deadline.
Kasich is working to
resurrect his proposed
oil-and-gas tax increase
to fund income-tax reduc-
tions in a proposal that
sends 25 percent of pro-
ceeds back to Appalachia.
State: Health insurance costs to rise for Ohioans
By ANN SANNER
Associated Press
COLUMBUS Insurers who
plan to participate in the new health
insurance exchange are projecting
their costs to cover Ohioans to be
significantly higher, according to an
analysis released Thursday by the
Ohio Department of Insurance.
That means individuals should
also brace for potentially higher costs
when purchasing coverage through
the new insurance marketplace cre-
ated by President Barack Obamas
health care law, state officials said.
The state analysis did not look at
insurance premiums the prices indi-
viduals would pay. The review exam-
ined the cost to insurers to provide the
required benefits in the exchange.
Republican Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor,
who is also the director of the states
insurance department, said specific
premiums will vary for consumers
and could change as the state agency
reviews the plans.
But, she told reporters in a confer-
ence call, The premiums will track
very closely with the cost.
Consumers can get private health
insurance, subsidized by the govern-
ment, through the exchange. Open
enrollment starts Oct. 1, and coverage
takes effect Jan. 1, 2014.
Taylor said the departments analy-
sis didnt take into account the impact
that government subsidies may have
on what Ohioans could pay, adding
that the agency didnt have the infor-
mation needed to quantify it.
Republican Gov. John Kasich
chose to let the federal government
operate the exchange, instead of the
state setting up its own. However,
the state says it has the authority to
regulate health plans in and out of the
exchange.
Fourteen companies, including
Aetna and Medical Mutual of Ohio,
have filed proposed rates for a total
of 214 different plans. Projected costs
to the companies for providing the
required health benefits under the law
ranged from roughly $283 to $577 for
the individual health plans, the state
said. The average cost was $420.
Citing data from a March study
from the Society of Actuaries, state
officials said the average cost of the
proposals was 88 percent higher than
the states current average cost to cover
an individual health insurance plan.
Taylor, the states most vocal critic
of the federal Affordable Care Act,
acknowledged the benefits required
by the law are much richer than the
benefits previously available to Ohio
consumers.
The Obama administration has
questioned the design of the Society
of Actuaries study, saying it focused
only on one piece of the puzzle and
ignored cost relief strategies in the
law, such as tax credits to help people
afford premiums and special pay-
ments to insurers who attract an out-
size share of the sick. The study also
doesnt take into account the potential
price-cutting effect of competition in
new state insurance markets, admin-
istration officials have said.

Hikers convened at Lake Loramie State Park on Friday of Memorial Day weekend to walk to Delphos following the
Miami and Erie Canal. (Submitted photo)
Life at 3 miles per hour or less
On Friday, May 24, a group of six
people gathered in Delphos to begin
a long weekend journey. They came
from Dayton, Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Landeck and upstate New York. They
soon consolidated their gear into two
vehicles and proceeded to drive to Lake
Loramie.
Upon arriving, they were joined by
another hikers from Cincinnati. The
group, then totaling seven, hit the trail
for the return trip by foot to Delphos.
A few miles later, they made a stop in
Minster to eat at one of their fine food
establishments.
Their next stop put them in down-
town New Bremen, where a few of the
members took turns opening and closing
the surprisingly easy-to-move gates of
the restored Lock 1 N.
Before evening fell, they had made
their camp at Kuenning Dicke Nature
Area just north of New Bremen. A
few of them made use of the newly
built shelter. The rest pitched their tents
nearby.
One of the hikers, who has relatives in
New Bremen, contacted them and soon
the group had visitors. Additionally,
the group was joined by another hiker
from Cincinnati, who would travel the
remaining days with them.
On Saturday, the group, now total-
ling eight, left New Bremens Kuenning
Dicke Nature Area and headed north.
One of the sites on this day was the
impressive massive stone Lock 8 N. A
few miles south of St. Marys, they were
joined by a hiker from Sidney who hiked
the rest of the day with them.
Shortly after noon, the group of nine
reached downtown St. Marys and divid-
ed into a couple of smaller groups to
eat at the local restaurants. While in the
downtown area, they were able to get
aboard the moored canal boat and view
the restored Lock 13 N.
They continued on their way and
reached their destination for that eve-
ning at Lock 14, a restored canal lock
five miles north of St. Marys.
Once again, the hiker who had local
relatives called upon them. This time it
was to shuttle the group from Lock 14
back into St. Marys for the evening.
They stopped in local establishments
and afterwards, they set up camp at the
High Street shelter.
On Sunday, the group was shuttled
back to Lock 14 to continue the journey
north. The sites for the day was Bloody
Bridge, Six Mile Spillway and Deep
Cut.
Having reached Spencerville in the
early afternoon, they visited the local
grocery store and food businesses to
enjoy a nice afternoon picnic at the
gazebo along the canal.

Technicolor star Esther
Williams dies at age 91
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP)
Esther Williams, the swim-
ming champion turned actress
who starred in glittering and
aquatic Technicolor musicals
of the 1940s and 1950s, has
died. She was 91.
Williams died early
Thursday in her sleep, accord-
ing to her longtime publicist
Harlan Boll.
Following in the footsteps
of Sonja Henie, who went
from skating champion to
movie star, Williams became
one of Hollywoods biggest
moneymakers, appearing in
spectacular swimsuit numbers
that capitalized on her whole-
some beauty and perfect fig-
ure.
Such films as Easy to
Wed, Neptunes Daughter
and Dangerous When Wet
followed the same formula:
romance, music, a bit of com-
edy and a flimsy plot that
provided excuses to get Esther
into the water.
The extravaganzas dazzled
a second generation via tele-
vision and the compilation
films Thats Entertainment.
Williams co-stars included the
pick of the MGM contract list,
including Gene Kelly, Frank
Sinatra, Red Skelton, Ricardo
Montalban and Howard Keel.
When hard times signaled
the end of big studios and
costly musicals in the mid-
50s, Williams tried non-
swimming roles with little
success. After her 1962 mar-
riage to Fernando Lamas, her
co-star in Dangerous When
Wet, she retired from public
life.
She explained in a 1984
interview: A really terrific
guy comes along and says, I
wish youd stay home and be
my wife, and thats the most
logical thing in the world for
a Latin. And I loved being a
Latin wife you get treated
very well. Theres a lot of
attention in return for that sac-
rifice.
She came to films after
winning 100-meter freestyle
and other races at the 1939
national championships and
appearing at the San Francisco
Worlds Fairs swimming
exhibition.
As with Judy Garland,
Donna Reed and other stars,
Williams was introduced in
one of Mickey Rooneys Andy
Hardy films, Andy Hardys
Double Life (1942).
She also played a small
role in A Guy Named Joe
before Bathing Beauty
in 1944 began the string of
immensely popular musical
spectaculars.
Among them: Thrill
of a Romance, Fiesta,
This Time for Keeps, On
an Island with You, Take
Me out to the Ballgame,
Duchess of Idaho,
Pagan Love Song, Texas
Carnival, Skirts Ahoy,
Million Dollar Mermaid (as
Annette Kellerman, an earlier
swimming champion turned
entertainer), Dangerous
When Wet, Easy to Love
and Jupiters Darling.

Gratitude is a social virtue
Worship this week
at the church
of your choice.
Gratitude has the power to transform our lives.
We can go from feeling sad, lonely and self-pity-
ing to happy, connected and blessed to be alive
in no time at all.
One of the reasons why this is the case is that
gratitude is almost always directed towards other
people. We should be thankful for what others
have done for us or have given to us, or simply
that they have been there for us in a time of need.
This connection with other people is very
powerful and gratitude often immediately con-
nects us with others. Though we tend to think
of the individual as the basic unit or atom of the
larger society, an isolated and unconnected indi-
vidual is very atypical.
To paraphrase Aristotle, only a god or a
monster would live apart from all society. Some
gratitude exercises which work well are to think
of people you are thankful for but who you
havent actually thanked, and then send them a
short thank you note, e-mail or text message.
Another one which works
well is to keep a gratitude jour-
nal, where you write down what
you are thankful for at the end
of each day. A related exercise
is to think about what went well
during the day and why, and to
write about that.
Rejoice always, pray continually, give
thanks in all circumstances;f or this is
Gods willfor you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Desperation
The shining dreams and ideals of youth often
become tarnished and faded in mid-life. We
expected great things from life but are disap-
pointed to see our dreams unfulflled and time
running out.
Thoreau famously remarked that Most men
lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the
grave with the song still in them. Living with
this desperation takes a heavy toll which few can
bear. Most of us either relinquish the dreams or
lower our expectations. Some of us continue to
believe that the brass ring might still be grasped.
But no one can live with the thought that they
have somehow failed at life, or failed to live up
to their own ideals. So how should we face this?
How do we live in such a way that we can ap-
proach the grave with a full-throated singing of
our dreams and ideals?
One way is to keep doing the best that we
can, knowing we are fnite creatures who often
stumble. But, at least if we know that we have
run the race with determination, never giving up,
we will know we have done our best.
We should also realize that this isnt an indi-
vidual race, but a relay race, where we have
taken the baton from others and will soon pass
it on.
And fnally, to complete the analogy, the
coach of our team is God, and ultimately Gods
team will win. We are all cosmic winners if we
are on the side of goodness.
When my spirit grows faint
within me, it is you who
watch over my way.

Great expectations
While I was driving my
son home from an appoint-
ment recently, I noticed he
was looking thoughtfully out
the window when he sud-
denly turned to me and said,
Mom, I know what I want to
be when I grow up.
I, of course, was excit-
ed to hear his answer. I
thought, finally one of these
long drives would result in
a long heart-felt discussion
that would give me a deep-
er awareness of my sons
dreams and desires. These
moments are few and far
between when you have a
teenage boy, so I was all ears
to hear his answer.
What is that? I asked
with anticipation of my sons
intelligent, well thought out
response that I was sure was
coming.
I want to be a hamster.
I must have misunder-
stood; this wasnt the parental
moment I was hoping for.
You want to be what?
A hamster. But I would
have to have a hamster ball
because that would be awe-
some to run around in. I
could nod at the ladies as they
drove by and say, Whaats
uuuup ladies?
Well, so much for a deep
conversation.
You do realize that the
ladies arent all that inter-
ested in rodents, even if they
do have a hamster ball and
speak cool street lingo? Also,
it wont get you out of any
homework, because if my son
is going to be a hamster, he
better be a smart one.
My son laughed, What
would be the point of being a
smart hamster?
That is my point exactly.
If you are going to set goals,
you might as well set them as
high as possible. Evolving to
a different species probably
isnt a great career move.
I have been doing a lot
of school physicals recently,
from kindergarten to high
school. What I have noticed is
that I have a lot of future doc-
tors, astronauts and zookeep-
ers among my preschoolers.
By the time they are in high
school, expectations have
changed. Many just want to
be done with school and get
a job. Which is fine as long
as they have an overall game
plan.
I try to express to my
patients that life shouldnt be
something that just happens,
it should be something that
you make happen. It is better
to set a course and aim for it
than to drift aimlessly until
you hit something. It may
turn out all right but your life
is too important to just put up
to chance. I hope they listen
to me.
I hope my son listens to
me, too. He is making prog-
ress. When he was entering
kindergarten, his goal was
to grow up to be a dinosaur.
So at least he has moved
from the reptile family to
being a mammal. I have seen
the messes he makes in my
house, so at this point, he is
probably more rodent than
human anyway.
He is in the seventh grade
now. By the time he leaves
high school, I am hoping he
has made the jump to homo
sapien. A mom can dream,
cant she?

Crestview grad comes to silver screen in Gibsonburg
By BRIAN BASSETT
DHI Correspondent
sports@timesbulletin.com
After nearly two years, Crestview grad
Kyle Rases transition from the baseball dia-
mond to the silver screen is almost complete.
Gibsonburg, a movie about the 2005
Gibsonburg Tiger baseball team which won a
state championship under Coach Rase after a
6-17 regular season, was released Wednesday
at the Marcus Cinema at Crosswoods in
Columbus.
It is set to be seen starting 9 p.m. Saturday
at the Van Wert Cinemas and 1 and 4 p.m.
Saturday at the Shannon Theater in Bluffton.
Im excited that (the movie) is going to
be out, but Im also sad because Ive got-
ten to be pretty close friends with everyone
who worked on the movie, said Rase about
wrapping up a project which he had been a
part of since late 2010.
The Times Bulletin first met up with Rase
in July of 2011, shortly after filming of the
movie began.
Rase recalled that his late father gave
him the idea to write down everything that
happened during Gibsonburgs magical tour-
nament run because somebody might be
interested in his story someday.
That somebody ended up being Bob
Mahaffey of Xcelerate Media Inc. in Dublin,
Ohio, who met with Rase in November of
2010 about turning the story into a movie.
Mahaffey heard the Gibsonburg story from a
niece at a family get-together.
Mahaffey decided to take on the project,
allowing a $200,000 budget. Filming began
in April 2011, but kicked into high-gear in
mid-May of that year. The crew for the film
mainly consisted of interns from around the
Columbus area.
At the end of a July 7, 2011, Times
Bulletin article titled Crestview grad going
from ball diamond to silver screen, Rase
explained that filming was to wrap up in
August of 2011.
We wrapped up filming, then it went to
post-production, recalled Rase in an inter-
view with the Times Bulletin Tuesday. In
June of 2012, a year ago at this same time, it
was selected for a film festival in California
- in Hollywood - called the Dances With
Films Festival.
The festival took place at the historic TCL
Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. The film was
one of 21 selected out of some 1,500 entries.
Because of that, we picked up a dis-
tribution deal with a company out of the
Nashville area. Then everything now is just
planning, it is going to be (widely) released
this Friday, continued Rase.
The final cut of the movie was shown to
the 2005 team, which finished with a record
of 14-17 after winning the 2005 Division IV
state championship, on May 26 along with
family, friends and crew members.
One, it was surreal to see the state cham-
pionship played out in the movie. Two, I was
part of this project for the past two years. A
lot of work finally came to completion. Its
always neat to see your finished product,
said Rase about viewing the final cut on the
26th, though he had seen many rough cuts
along the way.
Rase was the baseball consultant for the
film, working with the cast and crew to help
make the baseball scenes realistic. He also
acted as an extra, ironically playing an assis-
tant coach for Gibsonburg.
The distribution deal will put us on video
on-demand, such as Netflix, late in the sum-
mer. Then, I believe, the DVD will be avail-
able at Walmart, explained Rase.
Rase threw out the first pitch at the
Indians/Reds game last Wednesday and his
schedule doesnt ease up this week. He will
be promoting the movie at the Columbus
Clippers game Wednesday and the Toledo
Mud Hens game Thursday.
MLB asks for FedEx, phone
records in drug lawsuit
By RONALD BLUM
The Associated Press
NEW YORK Major League Baseballs law-
yers issued subpoenas to Federal Express, AT&T
Mobility and T-Mobile USA in an attempt to gain
records for its investigation of players suspected of
using performance-enhancing drugs.
The subpoenas were issued May 23, according
to a civil case file in Floridas Circuit Court for
Miami-Dade County, where MLB sued Biogenesis
of America, anti-aging clinic head Anthony Bosch
and five others in March.
Meanwhile, Commissioner Bud Selig said
MLBs very comprehensive probe proves that
baseball has the toughest drug policy in profes-
sional sports.
MLB asked Federal Express to turn over ship-
ment records for Biogenesis, Bosch, the other
defendants and a long list of individuals who
appeared to be affiliated with Bosch.
MLB asked the phone companies for call
records, texts and subscriber info for the phones
of Juan Carlos Nunez, an associate of outfielder
Melky Cabrera who was banned from big league
clubhouses last year, and Porter Fischer, who was
affiliated with the now-closed clinic.
In addition, a subpoena was issued for Biogenesis
and related entities in March, seeking records
involving major-leaguers and 70 banned substanc-
es. No players were mentioned by name.
MLB hopes Bosch will provide information
implicating players in the use of banned perfor-
mance-enhancing drugs, and Bosch agreed this
week to cooperate. Because any discipline could
be challenged by the players association in griev-
ances before an arbitrator, MLB likely would want
records to corroborate any testimony.
There was no indication in the files whether the
companies planned to challenge the subpoenas.
FedEx complies with all valid subpoenas, and
we are unable to comment further, company
spokesman Scott Fiedler said.
Said AT&T spokesman Marty Richter: We
respond to all lawfully issued subpoenas.
T-Mobile spokeswoman Anne Marshall said the
company is looking into the request and has no
comment.
MLB opened its latest drug investigation follow-
ing a Miami New Times report about Biogenesis in
January. Alex Rodriguez, Ryan Braun and Cabrera
are among the players whose names appeared in
Biogenesis documents, according to various media
reports. All have denied any wrongdoing.
Selig, speaking at the MLB draft Thursday night
in New Jersey, declined to provide any details.
Were in the midst of a very comprehensive
investigation and it would be inappropriate for
me to comment and therefore I wont, he said
in between announcing first-round picks at the
podium. Im proud of the fact we have the tough-
est drug-testing program and you know what? This
proves it.
Rodriguez, meanwhile, plans to monitor
developments in the investigation and New York
Yankees teammate Derek Jeter said hell comment
after A-Rod does.
MLB has already started interviewing players
linked to Biogenesis.
Myself and others are being mentioned in a
media report before the process is even concluded,
Rodriguez wrote Thursday in a statement issued by
his new spokesman, Ron Berkowitz. I will monitor
the situation and comment when appropriate. As I
have said previously, I am working out every day
to get back on the field and help the Yankees win
a championship. I am down here doing my job and
working hard and will continue to do so until Im
back playing.
The All-Star third baseman is recovering from
the hip surgery he underwent in January and regu-
larly works out at the Yankees minor league com-
plex in Tampa, Fla.

Annett returns to hometown track for NASCAR race
By LUKE MEREDITH
DES MOINES, Iowa Michael Annett
has always cherished racing at his home-
state track. This time, Annetts latest trip to
Iowa Speedway will mark a major milestone
in his comeback from a gruesome injury.
Annett will race for the third time since
fracturing and dislocating his sternum in
February when the NASCAR Nationwide
series runs at Newtown on Saturday night.
The opportunity to race just 35 miles west
of his hometown of Des Moines is special to
Annett. But what makes it even more impor-
tant for Annett is that the Newton track is
where he finished fourth last August after
starting 17th a run that rivaled any in
Annetts short career.
This is where we took off, Annett said.
Finishing fourth there the last time we were
there and being so close to winning the race,
thats the biggest reason why I wanted to
make sure Id be able to run Iowa.
Annett knows hes lucky to racing any-
where this season after what happened at
Daytona just over three months ago. Just 85
laps before a wreck that left over two dozen
fans injured, Annetts No. 43 car got tagged
from behind, sending it into the wall. The
11-car crash shattered a bone in his chest.
In an instant, Annett went from chasing
a Nationwide championship to a slow and
grueling rehabilitation.
Annett wasnt allowed to lift anything
over 10 pounds until early May, forced
instead to ride an elliptical machine to main-
tain his cardio. He watched races from the
pit box for three months before returning for
the Charlotte race May 25, finishing 17th.
He finished 13th at Dover last weekend.
Annett said he hasnt felt rusty since
returning but has noticed that, in his view,
the rest of the series has improved consider-
ably.
I feel completely comfortable. It didnt
take too long for me there in Charlotte to
realize how tough the competition in the
Nationwide series this year is compared to
last year, Annett said. Each race theres
probably 15 winning race cars, as to where
last year there was five to 10 that might win
it.
After years of middling results, Annett
emerged last season as one of the best driv-
ers in the Nationwide series.
Annett racked up six top-5 finishes in
2012, something hed never done in the
105 races from 2008-11. He also finished in
the top 10 17 times in 33 starts and wound
up fifth in the Nationwide standings even
though he failed to win a pole or a race.
Though Annett has put his injury behind
him, hes still fighting to get back to where
he was last fall.
The toughest part was not being able to
build on the momentum we had going into
the season, Annett said. It felt like we were
knocking on the door of our first win and for
sure going to be racing for a championship
this year everything was in place to go
after that championship.

Quotes of local interest supplied by
EDWARD JONES INVESTMENTS
Close of business June 6, 2013
(Countinued from page 6)
After the Miami New
Times story was published,
Rodriguez issued a statement
through spokesman Terry
Fahn: Alex Rodriguez was
not Mr. Boschs patient, he
was never treated by him and
he was never advised by him.
The purported documents ref-
erenced in the story at
least as they relate to Alex
Rodriguez are not legiti-
mate.
Rodriguez did not stop to
speak with reporters before
or after Thursdays workout
in Tampa, where there was
heavy rain from Tropical
Storm Andrea.
But Jeter did, saying he
had spoken with A-Rod and
that he seemed fine but
wouldnt go into further
details.
You guys know what Im
going to say, the rehabbing
Yankees captain added. I do
not comment on anyones sit-
uation until they comment on
it first. Let him speak about
it first.
Yankees catcher Francisco
Cervelli, recovering from a
broken hand, also was at the
training complex. He said in
February he consulted with
Biogenesis after a foot injury
but did not receive any treat-
ment.
Ive got nothing to add,
Cervelli ended.
MLB Rase
Its been pretty hectic but I wouldnt change
it for anything, said Rase, who has juggled
production of a movie with his job as a base-
ball coach for more than two years. Its some-
thing I never thought I would even be a part
of - working a project with a movie about one
of my teams. Its something Ill always remem-
ber. Ive had neat experiences as far as going to
Hollywood and throwing out the first pitch at a
Cleveland Indians game.
Now, with the movie set to be released this
week, Rase reflects mostly on the relationships
he has gained along the way.
The biggest way (the movie) changed
my life is I got a lot more friends. Another
circle of friends would be a better way to put
it. Lifelong friends Ive made throughout the
process.
Seeing the move in its entirety also gives
Rase perspective on the accomplishment his
team made exactly eight years ago Tuesday.
I feel very fortunate that my players gave
me a chance to be a part of this. Winning a
state championship. Its more of what they did
than anything I did. (Seeing the move) was a
reminder just how big of an event it was, he
explained. Now that Ive coached for nine
years, Ive realized just how hard it is to win
one tournament game - let alone eight in a row.
Especially as you keep advancing levels.
Despite Rases busy schedule this week,
there is one final stop he will make today. He
will be in Columbus at 4 p.m. to watch his
alma mater and mentor, Coach Jim Wharton,
play in the state semifinals - 20 years removed
from Crestviews first state semifinal team, of
which Rase was a member.
Crestview is down (at state), so it couldnt
be more of a fairy-tale ending, Rase con-
cluded.
NASCAR
Annett almost certainly
cant win the title this sea-
son after missing eight races
though.
But its possible that such
bad luck could end up being
a blessing for Annetts career.
Annett and his team
stepped back and re-evalu-
ated their goals for 2013 in
light of his injury. They real-
ized that since racing solely
for points would be, well,
pointless, they should run to
win every time out.
Adapting to a more
aggressive strategy isnt as
simple as it might sound.
Last week at Dover, Annett
took two tires near the end of
the race instead of staying
out and pushing for a higher
finish. It was a natural call
for Annett and his crew chief,
Philippe Lopez, but Annett
said they dont plan to play it
11 years later, Williams back in French Open final
By HOWARD FENDRICH
PARIS Done with a dominat-
ing performance in the French Open
semifinals, Serena Williams climbed the
stairs leading from the locker room to
the players lounge, looking to give her
mother a hug.
Smiling widely all the while,
Williams greeted visitors, posed for
photos and signed autographs on her
way.
Its been more than a decade since
she was so happy and played so well
this deep in the tournament at Roland
Garros.
Coming as close to perfect as seems
possible, Williams absolutely over-
whelmed last years runner-up, fifth-
seeded Sara Errani of Italy, 6-0, 6-1 in
a mere 46 minutes Thursday to reach
the final for the first time since winning
her lone French Open championship in
2002.
It doesnt seem like that long ago,
Williams said, even though it was.
To collect her 16th Grand Slam title
Saturday, Williams will need to beat
defending champion Maria Sharapova,
who put aside 11 double-faults and got
past third-seeded Victoria Azarenka 6-1,
2-6, 6-4 in a much more competitive
semifinal.
The final features the top two women
in the rankings and seedings, No. 1
Williams and No. 2 Sharapova. They
are 1-2 among active players in French
Open match wins, Williams with 45,
Sharapova with 43. And they are two
of three active women with more than
two major championships; Sharapova
completed a career Grand Slam in Paris
last year with No. 4.
Plus, Williams has won a career-best
30 consecutive matches, the longest
single-season streak on tour since 2000.
Sharapova has won 13 consecutive
matches in Paris.
Despite all of that, this one doesnt
shape up as much of an even match-
up because Williams is 13-2 against
Sharapova, including winning the last
12.
Well, Id be lying if it doesnt bother
me, obviously, said Sharapova, who
last defeated Williams all the way back
in 2004, at Wimbledon and the WTA
Championships. Whatever I did in the
past hasnt worked, so Ill have to try to
do something different.
Williams never gave Errani a chance
to switch things up.
Errani, Williams coach Patrick
Moratouglou explained, needs to rally,
she needs to run and then shes really,
really dangerous. But, he continued,
Williams decided to refuse to let her
play.
Simple as that.
The 31-year-old American won the
first nine games. When Errani finally
got on the board, 37 minutes in, she
raised both arms overhead as the crowd
roared.
Williams accumulated a 40-2 dis-
crepancy in winners yes, 40-2!
showing off a full array of talents. She
won 28 of the 33 points she served,
helped by five aces, including one at
123 mph (199 kph). She smacked 10
return winners. She mixed in overhead
smashes, powerful groundstrokes, even
a drop shot.
It felt like a routine first-round match
for one of the sports greats against a
qualifier or wild-card recipient ranked
somewhere in the 200s, not someone
ranked No. 5 and a semifinalist at three
of the past five major tournaments.
Erranis also an accomplished doubles
player, having won three of the past four
Grand Slam titles in that event.
I really believed I had a chance
and I was trying to fight, said Errani,
now 0-6 against Williams. Maybe on
the outside, people will think thats not
true. But I know that I tried, right until
the end.
Sharapova certainly dealt with plenty
of tension against Azarenka, the winner
of the past two Australian Opens.
Good as she was in the first set,
Sharapova was shaky in the second and
it took her a while to straighten things
out after a 35-minute rain delay that
preceded the third. Up an early break,
Sharapova double-faulted four times in
a single game to make it 2-all. Serving
for the match the first time, at 5-2, she
let four match points slip away, then
double-faulted on the last two points.
Finally, at 5-4, she steeled herself,
serving out the victory at love, punctu-
ated by her 12th ace.
I did the job, Sharapova said. I
just hope that I can improve for the next
one.
Probably needs to, the way Williams
is hitting the ball.
While Williams has won five titles
at Wimbledon and the Australian Open
and four at the U.S. Open, the slow red
clay of the French Open has given her
trouble through the years. It slows up
her big serves and big groundstrokes
enough to aid opponents. The footwork
is also more difficult than on other sur-
faces.
After beating her sister Venus in the
2002 final, then making it to the semifi-
nals a year later, Williams went through
a drought in Paris. Four times, she lost
in the quarterfinals. Once, in the third
round. A year ago, she lost in the first
round to a woman ranked outside the
top 100, Williams only exit at that stage
in 51 career major tournaments.

Copycat recipes arent the
exact secret recipes from stores
and restaurants, but they taste
close enough to the real deal
that they are sometimes called
kitchen clones. The recipes
often use common ingredients
and are simple to make. I have an
entire forum dedicated to copycat
recipes at frugalvillage.com/
forums/kitchen-clones.
The first two tips are copycat
recipes shared by readers. Enjoy!

Lipton Soup Packet Clone:
2 7-ounce packages of Skinner
Fideo Mediano noodles (or
similar)
1 jar Wylers chicken bouillon
(or similar)
dry parsley
black pepper
Pour the noodles into a big
bowl. Write 3 cups water, boil
5 minutes on the outside of 10
sandwich-size zip-close bags (or
just store the bags in a box or
basket and make a single tag for
it).
Measure out the following into
each bag:
3/4 cup noodles
1 tablespoon bouillon
1/2 teaspoon parsley
a sprinkle of pepper (dont
overdo it)
To make soup: Bring 3 cups of
water to a boil. Pour in mixture
and boil 5 minutes. Makes one
large single-serve bowl. Im sure
dehydrated veggies could be
added to this recipe as well. --
Cricket, Texas
Easy homemade creamer: I
make my own creamer with half
sweetened condensed milk and
half regular milk. I add vanilla
or cinnamon, too. -- Sherry,
Minnesota
Add vegetables: I add finely
chopped fresh yellow squash to
just about anything, such as rice,
spaghetti and chili. It stretches the
dish, making it more filling and
nutritious. -- R.N., Florida
Deter mice: We have seen
fewer mice and less mouse activity
since using mint oil on cotton
balls at the entrances where we
thought they were sneaking in at
our cabin. -- Cheryl, Ohio
Check receipts: After being
charged full price for a sale item,
I now step away from the register
and check my receipt while Im
still in the store. When your
purchases are being rung up as
youre putting it on the belt, its
hard to watch the prices. Take the
time to look over your receipt. --
Ali, Indiana
One thing at a time: My
advice for someone wanting to
make serious life changes would
be to pick just one area of their
finances and work on it. I gain
the most traction when I focus on
one area at a time. For instance,
when I focused on lowering my
grocery bill, I scoured your site
(FrugalVillage.com) as well
as other sites for tips on eating
healthier and cheaper. I compiled
the tips and have implemented
them to great success. -- Lara,
Texas
Re-grow green onions: The
next time you buy some green
onions, dont throw away the root;
just put it in some water and it will
regrow. Do this with a few dozen
and you will have an endless
supply. -- Niko, Florida
Egg salad: I saw your deviled
eggs with avocado recipe and
wanted to share that I make egg
salad sandwiches with avocado
now. Instead of adding mayo, I
add some avocado, a little lemon
juice and Greek yogurt to the mix.
Or you can keep the mayo and not
use the yogurt. Either way, its
delicious. -- Linda, Illinois

Depressed should
confde in parents
Dear Annie: I am a
16-year-old girl in high
school. I have so much to
be thankful for, but recent-
ly, I have been feeling like
something is wrong with
me. Quite frankly, I am de-
pressed. I am always tired,
anxious and nervous, and
I have outrageous mood
swings. I have lost all fo-
cus, ambition and motiva-
tion, and sometimes it just
hurts to breathe. I hate to
use this as an excuse for my
grades, but I had
been a straight-A
student, and now
I have two Cs
and a B. This is
unacceptable. I
hate disappoint-
ing my parents.
Along with the
grades and the
other symptoms
I mentioned, I am
constantly hav-
ing trouble eat-
ing and recently
resorted to self-harm. Sui-
cidal thoughts also accom-
pany this, as much as I hate
to admit it. I worry that if
I tell my parents, they will
hate me. I dont have a
teacher or counselor I feel
comfortable confiding in.
None of my friends know,
and I am scared that I will
do more damage to myself
than I intend. Please help
me. I hide behind a smile
every day, and I am so lost.
Depressed in Hiding
Dear Depressed: Please
tell your parents you arent
feeling well and ask them
to make an appointment
for you to see your doctor.
A lot of what you are de-
scribing may have physi-
ological origins that can be
treated (such as a hormonal
imbalance). You can speak
to the doctor privately and
tell him what you told us.
But please dont be afraid
to discuss this with your
parents. They love and care
about you. They may be
worried, but they will want
to help, and you will feel
better confiding in them.
Dear Annie: My cousin
is getting married in anoth-
er state. I have four other
relatives in my city, and we
are planning to go together,
even though weve seen
this cousin only a few times
in our lives.
The wedding is on a
Sunday evening, and wed
arrive on Saturday after-
noon. If there is a rehearsal
dinner on Saturday night,
should we be included
as out-of-town relatives?
Were already spending a
great deal of money on air-
fare and hotel rooms. What
do you say? Dinner Guest
or No?
Dear Dinner Guest:
The rehearsal dinner is spe-
cifically for the bridal par-
ty, immediate family and
the officiant. If the hosts
can afford to include out-
of-state guests (related or
not), it is both gracious and
appreciated. However, if
there are many such guests,
it can be beyond the means
of the hosts to include them
in the rehearsal dinner. It is
appropriate, however, for
them to provide some wel-
coming snack or hospital-
ity for all out-of-towners
upon their arrival, since
such guests are unfamiliar
with nearby restaurants and
might be arriving too late to
eat at the hotel coffee shop.
Dear Annie:
I was moved to
write after read-
ing the letter from
California, the
man who felt so
guilty about a
brief extramarital
affair he had 40
years ago that he
wanted to confess
it to his children.
My parents di-
vorced in 1968,
when I was 13. I
would respect my father
more if he would acknowl-
edge that his affairs were a
significant reason for the
divorce. Our mother told
us, but didnt use it as part
of the divorce proceed-
ings. I think she thought it
was too embarrassing. Dad
married his girlfriend six
months later.
Last summer, my
87-year-old father had the
nerve to tell me that my
mother was the one who
wanted the divorce and he
didnt know why. While
you may think it would do
more harm than good, Id
rather my father tell us than
keep lying. S.
Dear S.: Your father
had a long-term affair that
resulted in a divorce. It is
not the same as a brief in-
discretion that was deeply
regretted. And while Dad
should not lie or blame your
mother, its possible that, at
the age of 87, he no longer
clearly remembers the rea-
son behind the divorce.

Your chart indicates far more
stability in the year ahead for your
social and commercial interests.
Focus your efforts on succeeding in
these areas.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
You may need to take a calculated
risk to advance an important
objective. Its OK to be bold, just
dont be brash or impulsive.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Chances are youll feel
better spending a small surplus
on something the entire family
can enjoy. Dont give in to selfish
whims.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your
sphere of influence is likely to
be much bigger than you realize.
Friends might do things for you
unasked, in hopes of earning your
approval.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Be grateful for any financial
benefits that come your way through
the kindness of another, even if you
were expecting something bigger.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Any proposal presented to you
must be screened with exceptional
care and patience. Dont act until
you understand and have access to
all the pieces.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
Although your insights are likely to
be clear, your methods could leave
a lot to be desired. Do your best to
execute your ideas with care and
rigor.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- Youll know exactly what you
want done, but might not be able
to clearly convey your thinking to
others. Concentrate as best as you
can on communicating your ideas.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- The chances of achieving
what you want are high. However,
it would be best to steer clear
of entanglements with people
who have no real interest in your
objectives.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Honor your commitments, even
if you have second thoughts about
them. Stand by your word -- it will
pay off in the long run.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Do your job to the best of your
ability. If you resist the temptation
to cut corners, which could be high,
youll be able to take justifiable
pride in what you accomplish.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- Dont discount your judgment
when it comes to handling a risky
endeavor, even if a know-it-all
associate attempts to cast doubt on
your ideas.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- If you do something nice for a
friend or an associate, try to do
so without incurring a sense of
obligation. Allow your good deed
to stand on its own two feet.

Philly officials look for cause of deadly collapse
MARYCLAIRE DALE
MICHAEL RUBINKAM
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA The search for
victims of a building collapse that killed
six people, including two Salvation Army
workers, wound down Thursday amid
mounting questions about whether the
demolition company that was tearing
down the structure caused the tragedy by
cutting corners.
The four-story building along
Philadelphias busy Market Street col-
lapsed Wednesday onto a Salvation Army
thrift shop next door with a loud boom and
a huge cloud of dust, trapping employees
and others, including a woman on her first
day on the job at the store.
Buildings get demolished all the time
in the city of Philadelphia with active
buildings right next to them. Theyre
done safely in this city all the time,
Mayor Michael Nutter said Thursday.
Something obviously went wrong here
yesterday and possibly in the days lead-
ing up to it. Thats what the investigation
is for.
Despite Nutters reassurances,
Philadelphia began inspecting hundreds
of demolition sites in the wake of the col-
lapse. The Department of Licenses and
Inspections said it had 300 open demoli-
tion permits throughout the city; inspec-
tors had visited about 30 of the sites by
Thursday afternoon and planned to get to
the rest by next week.
The spot inspections included all four
construction and demolition sites con-
nected to Griffin Campbell Construction,
the demolition contractor involved in the
deadly collapse. The city found violations
at two sites and ordered a halt to the work.
As details of Campbells checkered
legal and financial past came to light, a
city councilman charged that dangerous,
under-the-radar tear-downs are taking
place throughout the city and demanded
a stricter application and inspection pro-
cess for demolition companies.
More than 24 hours after the collapse,
the search for the dead and injured was
nearly complete, with no one else believed
to be in the rubble. Firefighters hosed
down piles of bricks to reduce the dust,
and heavy machinery scooped up debris.
Rescue efforts were buoyed early
Thursday when a woman was pulled out
alive and conscious after 13 hours under
the rubble. Nyra Plekam was hospital-
ized in critical condition and was said to
be floating in and out of consciousness.
At least 12 others were hurt, many with
minor injuries, and five remained hospi-
talized.
Thats why we stay the course, fire
Commissioner Lloyd Ayers said. This
person being pulled out alive is what this
rescue operation is all about.
Officials from the U.S. Department
of Labor and Occupational Safety and
Health Administration were at the scene.
The mayor said he was unaware of any
complaints about the demolition work
done by Campbell in the days before the
tragedy. But OSHA said it had gotten a
complaint May 15 that workers at the site
were at risk of falling. The complaint was
still open at the time of the disaster, U.S.
Labor Department spokeswoman Leni
Uddyback-Fortson said.
OSHA regulates the demolition
industry and enforces standards meant
to ensure worker safety. Among other
things, its regulations forbid any wall sec-
tion exceeding one story to stand alone
without bracing, unless the wall was
designed that way. Witnesses have said
they saw a 30-foot section of unbraced
wall before the collapse.
Putins attend ballet, then
announce their divorce
Associated Press
MOSCOW Vladimir
Putin pulled off one of his
most audacious pieces of
stagecraft, attending a ballet
with his rarely seen wife,
then emerging smiling and
announcing their marriage is
over.
The end of the marriage
of the Russian president and
Lyudmila Putina less than
two months shy of their 30th
anniversary came on state
television after a Thursday
evening that started out like
a model of domestic content-
ment a devoted husband
taking his wife out for an
artsy interlude.
After the performance
of Esmeralda at the Great
Kremlin Palace, the two
came into a luxurious room
to speak to a reporter.
Excellent. Great music,
excellent production, Putin
said and Lyudmila echoed
his praise.
After about a minute,
the reporter asked about
rumors that the two didnt
live together. Putin smiled
slightly, like a boy caught
misbehaving, and turned his
head toward Lyudmila. This
is so, he said.
It wasnt immediately
clear if that meant just sepa-
rate domiciles. After a few
more comments, the reporter
gently prodded: I am afraid
to say this word divorce.
Yes, this is a civilized
divorce, Lyudmila said.
The peculiar format for
the announcement appeared
aimed at underlining that this
wasnt just a powerful man
dumping his faithful help-
mate. Thats a potentially
important strategic move for
Putin, who has based his pub-
lic image on rectitude and
support of traditional values.
Tabloid reports in 2008
claimed that Putin already
had divorced Lyudmila and
planned to marry a gymnast
less than half his age.
The Interfax news agency
cited presidential spokesman
Dmitry Peskov as saying the
divorce has not been formal-
ized and that the televised
comments were only an
announcement of the deci-
sion to divorce.
Divorce is common in
Russia, and nearly 700,000
couples dissolved their
marriages in 2009, accord-
ing to UNICEF. Olga
Kryshtanovskaya, a sociolo-
gist who studies Russias
political elite, said the
divorce probably wont hurt
Putin in the public eye as
long as he doesnt take a tro-
phy wife.
If a young wife appears,
then the reactions in soci-
ety may be very different,
she said in an article pub-
lished by the newspaper
Komsomolskaya Pravda on
its website.
Self-help couple commits suicide
Associated Press
NEW YORK On a radio show they hosted called The
Pursuit of Happiness, John Littig and Lynne Rosen urged
listeners to embrace spontaneity.
So much about life is about impulse, Littig said on a
broadcast this year on an FM station in New York, WBAI. Its
about doing it right now.
A shocking decision the couple made together appeared
more methodical: Police say they killed themselves side by
side as part of a suicide pact.
Autopsies found that both Littig, 47, and Rosen, 45, died
from asphyxiation after inhaling helium, a spokeswoman for
medical examiners office said Thursday.
The bodies were discovered Wednesday on a couch in the
couples brownstone in Brooklyn.
In separate suicide notes, Lettig indicated that they were
determined to die together, while Rosen apologized to her fam-
ily, police said. But beyond that, why two people who made
a living giving advice on how to lead more fulfilling lives
decided to cut short their own wasnt clear.
There was no immediate response to a message left
Thursday at WBAI.
RIP Lynne Rosen + John Littig. Partners on the air and in
life, the station wrote in a tweet.
The victims were partners in self-help venture called Why
Not Now, according to their website. The site describes Littig
as a motivational speaker, workshop facilitator and personal
life coach, and Rosen as a life coach, speaker and consultant.
Rosen also was the host of The Pursuit of Happiness, a
once-a-month, hour-long show on the left-leaning WBAI. She
was often joined in the Manhattan studio by Littig.
The pairs breezy banter about lifes lessons is on display
in YouTube postings of the broadcasts. In one, they mull a
famous quote, Do one thing every day that scares you, attrib-
uted to Eleanor Roosevelt.
People get scared to make changes and step outside of that
comfort zone, right, John? she says.
Stepping outside your comfort zone is very important. Or
alternatively you can start to get comfortable with change, he
responds.
Yeah! I like that! she says. Thats great.
And while pondering Albert Einsteins observation,
Imagination is more important than knowledge, Littig
espouses the virtues of acting on impulse.
Intuition, impulse are extraordinarily important things in
life, he says. You will not be well-served if the impulse is
shut down or you think about everything too much. Sometimes
you just do it.
Monumental phone-records monitoring is laid bare
NANCY BENAC
Associated Press
WASHINGTON A leaked document
has laid bare the monumental scope of the
governments surveillance of Americans
phone records hundreds of millions of
calls in the first hard evidence of a mas-
sive data collection program aimed at com-
bating terrorism under powers granted by
Congress after the 9/11 attacks.
At issue is a court order, first disclosed
Wednesday by The Guardian newspaper in
Britain, that requires the communications
company Verizon to turn over on an ongo-
ing, daily basis the records of all landline
and mobile telephone calls of its customers,
both within the U.S. and between the U.S.
and other countries. Intelligence experts
said the government, though not listening in
on calls, would be looking for patterns that
could lead to terrorists and that there was
every reason to believe similar orders were
in place for other phone companies.
Some critics in Congress, as well as
civil liberties advocates, declared that the
sweeping nature of the National Security
Agency program represented an unwar-
ranted intrusion into Americans private
lives. But a number of lawmakers, includ-
ing some Republicans who normally jump
at the chance to criticize the Obama admin-
istration, lauded the programs effective-
ness. Leaders of the House Intelligence
Committee said the program had helped
thwart at least one attempted terrorist
attack in the United States, possibly sav-
ing American lives.
Separately, The Washington Post and The
Guardian reported Thursday the existence
of another program used by the NSA and
FBI that scours the nations main Internet
companies, extracting audio, video, photo-
graphs, emails, documents and connection
logs to help analysts track a persons move-
ments and contacts. It was not clear whether
the program, called PRISM, targets known
suspects or broadly collects data from other
Americans.
The companies include Microsoft ,
Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL,
Skype, YouTube and Apple. The Post said
PalTalk has had numerous posts about the
Arab Spring and the Syrian civil war. It also
said Dropbox would soon be included
In a statement, Google said it discloses
user data to government in accordance with
the law and reviews all such requests care-
fully. From time to time, people allege that
we have created a government back door
into our systems, but Google does not have
a back door for the government to access
private user data, the statement said.
Facebook said protecting its users pri-
vacy and data is a top priority. We do not
provide any government organization with
direct access to Facebook servers, it said in
a statement. When Facebook is asked for
data or information about specific individu-
als, we carefully scrutinize any such request
for compliance with all applicable laws,
and provide information only to the extent
required by law.
One outraged senator, Ron Wyden,
D-Ore., said of the phone-records collect-
ing: When law-abiding Americans make
phone calls, who they call, when they call
and where they call is private information.
As a result of the discussion that came to
light today, now were going to have a real
debate.
But Republican Lindsey Graham of South
Carolina said Americans have no cause for
concern. If youre not getting a call from a
terrorist organization, youve got nothing to
worry about, he said.
Senate Intelligence Committee
Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.,
said the order was a three-month renewal
of an ongoing practice that is supervised by
federal judges who balance efforts to protect
the country from terror attacks against the
need to safeguard Americans privacy. The
surveillance powers are granted under the
post-9/11 Patriot Act, which was renewed in
2006 and again in 2011.
While the scale of the program might not
have been news to some congressional lead-
ers, the disclosure offered a public glimpse
into a program whose breadth is not widely
understood. Sen. Mark Udall, a Colorado
Democrat who serves on the Intelligence
Committee, said it was the type of surveil-
lance that I have long said would shock the
public if they knew about it.
The government has hardly been forth-
coming.
Wyden released a video of himself press-
ing Director of National Intelligence James
Clapper on the matter during a Senate hear-
ing in March.
Does the NSA collect any type of data
at all on millions or hundreds of millions of
Americans? Wyden asked.
No, sir, Clapper answered.
It does not? Wyden pressed.
Clapper quickly softened his answer.
Not wittingly, he said. There are cases
where they could, inadvertently perhaps,
collect but not wittingly.
There was no immediate comment from
Clappers office Thursday on his testimony
in March.
The public is now on notice that the gov-
ernment has been collecting data even
if not listening to the conversations on
every phone call every American makes, a
program that has operated in the shadows for
years, under President George W. Bush, and
continued by President Barack Obama.
It is very likely that business records
orders like this exist for every major
American telecommunication company,
meaning that if you make calls in the United
States the NSA has those records, wrote
Cindy Cohn, general counsel of the non-
profit digital rights group Electronic Frontier
Foundation, and staff attorney Mark Rumold,
in a blog post.
Without confirming the authenticity of
the court order, White House spokesman
Josh Earnest said such surveillance powers
are a critical tool in protecting the nation
from terror threats, by helping officials
determine if people in the U.S. who may
have been engaged in terrorist activities have
been in touch with other known or suspected
terrorists.

More than 1.5 million Ohio
residents are uninsured, or
about 14 percent. An estimat-
ed 524,000 Ohioans would
be enrolled in the exchange
designed for individuals by
2017, according to a report
prepared for the states insur-
ance department by consult-
ing firm Milliman Inc.
According to the Milliman
report, a healthy young man
in the individual market could
experience a rate increase of
between 90 percent and 130
percent, while a 60-year-old
with chronic health condi-
tions may see a significant
premium decrease.

Two members of the group
decided they would finish the
hike through to Delphos, so
they hit the trail. The camp-
site that evening was at Old
Acadia Park.
After a few hours, the hik-
ers who continued to Delphos
returned to Spencerville.
On Monday, May 27, the
remaining group made an
early start of it in the light
drizzle and trekked their way
to Delphos arriving between
10:15-11 a.m., completing the
41.5 miles of their journey.
They were given the chance
to look through the collec-
tions in the Delphos Canal
Commission Museum.
The hikers, even though
they were hiking the same
trail, were actually doing it
for different reasons. The
retired couple from New York
was hiking the North Country
National Scenic Trail, which
goes from New York to North
Dakota about 4,600 miles.
Most of the rest were hiking
the Buckeye Trail, which at
1,444 miles makes a loop
within the State of Ohio. One
of that group is in the pro-
cess of completing the entire
Buckeye Trail by doing a
little bit of it one weekend a
month.
And the other one was hik-
ing the Miami and Erie Canal
and Towpath, better known
as the Miami and Erie State
Trail, which goes from Lake
Loramie to Delphos.

NKorea proposes working
level talks with SKorea
SEOUL, South Korea (AP)
North Korea on Friday
proposed working-level talks
with South Korea to be held
in a border city on Sunday
as the rivals look to mend
ties that have plunged during
recent years amid hardline
stances by both countries.
In another sign of easing
tensions ahead of the pro-
posed meeting, Pyongyang
said in a statement that it
would reopen a Red Cross
communication line with
South Korea in their truce
village later today. The North
shut the communication line
in March during a tense peri-
od marked by North Korean
threats of war and South
Korean counter-threats.
The statement by an
unidentified spokesman for
the Norths Committee for
the Peaceful Reunification of
Korea, which handles rela-
tions with Seoul, followed
the countries agreement
Thursday to hold talks on
reopening a jointly run fac-
tory complex and possibly
other issues. The easing ten-
sion also comes ahead of
a summit by the leaders of
China and the United States
in which the North is expect-
ed to be a key topic.
South Korea in April pro-
posed government-level talks
about the factory complex
and on Thursday suggested
holding ministerial talks in
Seoul on Wednesday. But the
North Korean statement said
that working-level talks are
needed before any higher-
level meetings in the light
of the prevailing situation
in which the bilateral rela-
tions have been stalemated
for years and mistrust has
reached the extremity.
The envisioned talks,
which Pyongyang is pro-
posing be held in the North
Korean border city of
Kaesong, could help ease ten-
sions, but the topic of rid-
ding the North of its nuclear
weapons program is not up
for debate.
